You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Death's scythe is already at his throat!

The scalpel blade, as thin as a cicada's wing, reflected a chilling glint under the stark white light, carrying a resolute determination to tear everything apart, aiming straight for Lin Chen's carotid artery!

Jiang Tingxue's scream was still lingering in her throat; her brain had completely shut down, and the world in her eyes had turned into a series of black and white silent films that were infinitely slowed down.

She could almost see the horrific scene of blood gushing out!

However, facing this fatal blow that could instantly kill any expert, Lin Chen's face remained completely calm.

He didn't even back down.

Just before the blade touched his skin, his head tilted back slightly at an extremely subtle yet incredibly fast angle.

The movement was so small that it seemed as if he had just casually moved his cervical spine.

"hiss……"

The sharp airflow carried by the blade almost grazed the skin of his Adam's apple!

A few strands of hair, lifted by the strong wind, fell silently through the air and were severed by the blade.

Exactly!

This is no longer a reaction, but pure, absolute control that transcends danger!

For the first time, a look of disbelief and horror flashed in the killer's cruel eyes!

Did it slip up?!

He has been immersed in this art for over a decade and has never made a mistake!

But his top-notch assassin skills allowed him to remain completely undisturbed.

If the first strike misses, the wrist suddenly twists!

The deadly blade traced a strange arc, abandoning Lin Chen, the tough nut to crack, and instantly shifted its target to Lin Chen's side, where Jiang Tingxue was already terrified and pale!

To relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao!

Use this woman's life to force Lin Chen to defend himself, thereby revealing a weakness!

This is the most ruthless and effective tactic!

However, he underestimated the terrifying rage this move would provoke!

"You're asking for it!"

Lin Chen's eyes turned icy cold in an instant!

That wasn't anger, but a pure, indifferent killing intent that disregarded life!

He suddenly reached out with his left arm, grabbed Jiang Tingxue's slender waist, and pulled her back forcefully, shielding her soft, delicate body behind him.

At the same time, the muscles in his right arm bulged instantly, and without dodging or avoiding, he raised his arm to block!

"Sizzle!"

A sickeningly sharp sound of tearing fabric rang out!

The cuff was easily torn, and the sharp blade embedded itself deeply into Lin Chen's forearm muscle, leaving a deep, bone-revealing bloodstain!

Crimson blood seeped out instantly, staining the white lining red!

"Lin Chen!"

Jiang Tingxue, who was being protected behind her, witnessed this scene firsthand.

Those unfocused pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand!

That glaring red color, like a red-hot iron, burned fiercely into her heart!

He...he took the knife for me?!

Lin Chen seemed to feel no pain at all; the wound on his arm, on the contrary, became the last tinder to ignite his anger!

In the instant of parrying, he was now within arm's reach of the assassin!

He stepped forward, his right knee striking the assassin's abdomen with tremendous force and ruthlessly!

"Bang!"

The dull thud sounded like a heavy hammer hitting a cowhide drum!

The assassin's eyeballs bulged out instantly, his face contorted in agony, his body arched uncontrollably like a boiled shrimp, and he spewed out a stream of acidic liquid mixed with gastric juices!

The excruciating pain caused him to loosen his grip on the knife.

Lin Chen seized the opportunity, his hands flashing as he grabbed the wrists holding the knife and twisted them in the opposite direction!

"Snap!"

The dull thud of bones dislocating and breaking suddenly exploded in the deathly silent autopsy room!

The assassin's right wrist was bent at a 90-degree angle!

Comminuted fracture!

"Ding-dong!"

The scalpel blade fell limply to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Ugh..."

The assassin let out a muffled groan, and beads of cold sweat instantly covered his forehead.

He was a ruthless character; despite the excruciating pain, he didn't utter a sound. He clenched his remaining left hand into a fist and used all his strength to strike Lin Chen's temple!

This is a suicidal fighting style!

Lin Chen's eyes were indifferent as he shifted his body to the side, easily dodging the desperate punch.

At the same time, he grabbed the assassin by the collar and instantly exerted force from his waist and abdomen!

Over-the-shoulder throw!

The assassin's thin body was lifted off the ground in an instant, arcing through the air before crashing heavily, face down, onto the heavy stainless steel dissection table in the center of the room!

"BOOM—!!!"

A deafening roar!

The sturdy metal tabletop was visibly dented by the force of the impact!

"puff!"

The assassin spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the cold tabletop red.

He could clearly feel that at least five or six of his ribs were broken!

Before he could catch his breath, a dark figure had already closed in!

Lin Chen grabbed the back of his neck with one hand and pressed his head firmly against the dented metal tabletop!

"Let...let go..."

The assassin struggled desperately, kicking his legs wildly in the air and scratching the table in vain with his hands, making a piercing "creaking" sound.

Lin Chen remained expressionless and casually picked up a bone hammer used for breaking bones from the instrument tray beside him.

He didn't smash the weapon at the assassin's head.

Instead, he raised the bone hammer and smashed it down hard on the metal table less than a centimeter from the assassin's ear!

"when--!!!"

Sparks fly!

The deafening metallic roar filled the assassin's eardrums!

The whole world is spinning!

All the assassin's struggling movements froze instantly.

The ferocity and fearlessness he had seen were finally shattered at this moment, replaced by a fear that came from the depths of his soul!

He wasn't facing a human being at all!

It's the devil!

Lin Chen slowly leaned down, his icy breath spraying onto his ear, his voice colder than the corpse on the dissection table.

"Playing dead, is that fun?"

Lin Chen slowly tightened his grip on his neck.

A feeling of suffocation washed over him like a tidal wave, and the assassin's face instantly turned a deep liver color, his eyeballs bulging outwards due to lack of oxygen.

Death has never been so close.

"Lin Chen! Your hand!"

Only now did Jiang Tingxue recover from the extreme shock.

She scrambled over, and seeing the gruesome wound on Lin Chen's arm that was still bleeding, she could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face like pearls from a broken string!

Those tears contained fear, lingering dread, and even more so, a deep sense of emotion and heartache that she herself was unaware of.

Upon hearing her voice, the murderous aura emanating from Lin Chen, powerful enough to freeze the soul, vanished without a trace.

He turned his head and looked at that pretty face with tears streaming down her face. His eyes and tone changed instantly, becoming incredibly gentle.

"fine."

It's just a superficial injury.
