Chapter 541: Cut the Grass at Its Roots
Beside him, Zhan Lian kneels on one knee and pats Liu Dong’s face. “Hey, hey, are you dead already?”
Liu Dong tilts his head and spits out a mouthful of broken teeth. The blood he spits isn’t from internal injury—Zhan Lian’s punch has knocked out an entire row of his teeth.
He rolls over, climbs out of the snow, and roars, “Kill him!!!”
The dozen or so Strength-Type Ability Users he has brought along hesitate, unwilling to move forward.
Fatty, jumping anxiously, rushes up to Liu Dong and shouts, “Calm down, calm down, calm down! We’re short of people digging tunnels right now. Save your life and go dig tunnels, dig tunnels!”
Indeed, they are short of manpower. Fatty has long eyed Liu Dong’s team as free labor, but Liu Dong has no intention of joining forces—he merely wants to travel with them. Along the way, most of the young and strong men are indifferent; seeing the situation in Fatty’s group, they persuade Liu Dong’s team to flee. Fatty’s team is severely short of young, strong men, which worries him immensely.
Seeing Liu Dong and his men about to die, Fatty grows extremely anxious. Saving a few young and strong men to use as labor for digging tunnels is better than losing them entirely.
Liu Dong, spitting blood, turns to slap Fatty, but Zhan Lian grabs him, twists his arm, and pins him hard to the ground on his shoulder. At the same time, he kicks Liu Dong behind the knee, forcing him to his knees.
He uses technique over brute force—this lock can immobilize even the most dangerous people. Liu Dong, all raw strength but no skill, is helpless. Even a skilled terrorist would struggle to move.
Zhan Lian’s voice carries a slight anger as he asks, “Let me ask you—who told you that anyone can have sex with my wife?”
As he speaks, Zhan Lian’s hand moves, nearly snapping Liu Dong’s arm joints.
The pain makes Liu Dong howl uncontrollably, kneeling in the snow.
Fatty hurries over to An Ran, shouting, “Stop the torture! Stop the torture! I know it was Xu Li’er. The rumors about you originated from her!”
An Ran nods and glances at Zhan Lian.
Zhan Lian then shifts slightly, grasps Liu Dong’s head with both hands, and with a single twist, breaks his neck.
Fatty immediately bursts into tears, as if he has been robbed. “My labor force! Tell me—why did you just kill him like that? I was signaling you, hoping you’d let him live to be my labor, and you killed him instead! My labor force…”
“Cut the grass at its roots, understand?!” Zhan Lian snaps, pushing Fatty aside with one hand. He then points at the Strength-Type Ability Users Liu Dong has brought; they immediately shake their heads, waving their hands to distance themselves from the scene.
“We were just passing through, just passing through.”
“This Liu Dong is such a jerk! He always bullies us.”
“Good deeds are done to protect the people. Zhan Lian, you’ve eliminated a threat.”
“That’s right. His second brother isn’t a good person either. He even bullied a minor the other day. Tsk, tsk, that girl was so young—not even ten.”
Everyone begins criticizing Liu Dong and his second brother, but Zhan Lian waves at Fatty.
When Fatty approaches, Zhan Lian whispers, “Take all these people away. If anything goes wrong, come find me.”
They aren’t good people. Liu Dong is trash, his second brother has been playing with a child, and these people just stood by? They have aided and abetted evil.
Fatty nods, already understanding. He calls several soldiers to escort them away.
