I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

"hehe."

Amidst the surging crowd, Li Lin's lifeless eyes grew increasingly dejected. Fortunately, the crowbar in his hand was so powerful that those around him kept a certain distance from him out of caution.

Where is this place...?

Li Lin opened his mouth, calling out to the Kingslayer and Talulah, but there was no response; Nian had disappeared somewhere.

A few minutes later, his throat was dry and hoarse. Feeling like an idiot, Li Lin reluctantly shut his mouth.

At this moment, Li Lin felt someone nudging his buttocks. He turned around and saw several thugs surrounding him with displeased expressions, holding axes and baseball bats in their hands.

Li Lin's unconventional behavior was quite eye-catching in the crowd, and the thugs loved to use such troublemakers to vent their violence.

Li Lin narrowed his dark eyes slightly.

40. I dreamt yesterday that someone gifted me a treasure chest... and then I woke up laughing.

It seems this situation cannot be resolved amicably.

Li Lin swung the crowbar in his hand, and the surrounding crowd immediately scattered in panic, leaving the open space to the thugs.

Several thugs quickly approached Li Lin, wielding beer bottles and fire axes. Li Lin frantically raised his crowbar to defend himself, but was staggered backward by the powerful blows of the axe.

Realizing his actions were those of a lowly thug, Li Lin quickly stood up straight, rolled up his sleeves, pointed the crowbar at the thug's nose, and began to hurl threats:

"You just wait! Once I find my invincible Star Platinum, I'll rip off your hoods and you'll all be in for a world of hurt."

Li Lin's threats had no effect; in fact, they only excited the thugs more. One burly man blocked Li Lin's path, while the other three subtly surrounded him.

"I've watched over a thousand episodes of Detective Conan, I'm familiar with over two thousand murder methods, and I know over eight hundred kinds of alibis. You'd better leave now, or you'll at least have your bodies intact."

A chilling glint flashed in Li Lin's eyes as he shouted sharply.

"Deep within me dwell two souls; when I unleash them, you are doomed! Beseech my crimson gleam from the abyss, darker than darkness itself—"

Before Li Lin could finish his textbook-perfect, melodramatic speech, the burly man opposite him gripped his fire axe and brought it down on Li Lin's head.

"Damn it, they actually attacked me while I was chanting!"

Li Lin quickly twisted his waist, narrowly dodging the axe as if he were dancing in a square. At the same time, the three people behind him rushed forward, further shrinking their living space.

"It's now!"

Li Lin instantly transformed into a rolling gourd, scrambling and crawling to the feet of one of the thugs, and thrust out a crowbar the instant the thug instinctively pulled his leg away!

"That brat's whip kick!"

Caught off guard, the thug was stabbed in the groin by the tip of the crowbar, the bottle in his hand slipped silently from his hand, and he staggered backward, bent over.

Overjoyed at his triumph, Li Lin broke through the encirclement, swung his crowbar at a chosen angle, and struck the thug's wrist. In the instant the thug let go and cried out in pain, Li Lin raised his hand again and swung the crowbar like a golf ball.

Snapped--

The sound of the crowbar colliding with flesh was so clear that it could be heard several meters away.

Passersby on the street gasped in unison, all feeling a pang of pain in their testicles.

The remaining three thugs, seeing their fallen comrade, began to feel fear and quietly moved backward.

"Hmph, trying to escape?" Li Lin wiped the scratches he had made while rolling on the ground, wincing in pain.

The rioters exchanged glances, caught in a dilemma.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Lin rushed to a taxi parked on the side of the road. The female driver, sitting in the driver's seat, turned her head away, not daring to look at Li Lin, and let out a series of screams.

Li Lin pounded on the window, his face pressed against the glass like an amoeba: "Open the door! Open the door!"

The thugs rushed over with sneers, dragged Li Lin away, and punched him in the face.

Li Lin staggered back several steps, wiping away the blood streaming from his nose, and with a roar, swung the gun at the thug's eyes.

"Platinum Star World!"

The thug, whose eyes were blindfolded with blood, screamed in agony.

He lay on the ground, seemingly in great pain, repeatedly banging his head against the ground, his skin quickly torn apart by the rough surface, while the blind thugs continued unabated.

Passersby gasped and stepped back, their faces showing disgust.

Has that thug's Oripathy flared up?

Outside the car, Li Lin suddenly realized what was happening. Trembling, he raised his left hand and shouted with wild joy, "My King's Power!"

The four thugs who opposed Li Lin are already half crippled. What else could they be but Wang Zhili?

The remaining two thugs let out a howl and charged at Li Lin, who was leaning against the car, their baseball bats whistling through the air.

Li Lin sneered and wiped his face... Damn, the blood from his nose had congealed!

Having lost his power as king, Li Lin immediately jumped away, and the thug's baseball bat got stuck in the taxi's windshield, causing cracks to appear.

The passengers and driver inside the car were in complete chaos.

"Dark Sword - Slow Sword Technique!"

Li Lin jumped away quickly, his movements as swift as lightning, and another thug clutched his groin and collapsed to the ground, convulsing.

"It's alright, it's taken care of." Li Lin put away the crowbar and smiled at the passengers in the car. However, his face was covered in blood, which must have looked rather unsightly, causing the passengers to fall silent.

The last burly man was unarmed. He tried to run away, but the surging crowd pushed him back. At this moment, Li Lin had quietly come up behind him, took a running start and jumped, and raised the crowbar in his hand to split Mount Hua with force.

"Avada eats the big melon!"

Bang!

The thug's head was strangely concave. He staggered a few steps, first kneeling down, then collapsing to the ground and dying.

Li Lin thrust his hips forward, his cold gaze sweeping over the ravaged street: "I, Li Lin, am the emperor, and my status remains unchanged!"

"Ula!"

Bystanders and other rioters cheered, applauding the winner of the one-on-four fight.

Li Lin raised his hands high, his face beaming.

The chaotic and frenzied pedestrians suddenly swarmed around Li Lin: "Sir! Please lead us!"

"You're not in the right frame of mind, I can't hear you at all!" Li Lin pointed a crowbar at the person who spoke. "Trying to put on a show by speaking so softly!"

"Yes!" A tall, burly thug in the crowd roared hoarsely, his face flushed. "Please! Lead! Us!

"Good! Very energetic!"

Li Lin was overjoyed. He turned his head and randomly pointed to the tallest building in his field of vision: "Gun in hand, follow me, kill the Earl, and seize the fortress!"

"Ula!!!"

The system desktop in front of me began to refresh, and a large amount of agitation surged forth from the void like an avalanche.

[The restless crowd]

I am captivated by a restless longing. I seem to have some kind of... intention. But what exactly is this intention?

[In a certain place, at a certain time, a group of people became restless, which could be exploited to achieve certain goals.]

Driven to a frenzy, the crowd thronged around Li Lin and headed toward the command tower in the heart of Chernobog.

The enthusiastic crowd lifted Li Lin up, while Li Lin, whose emotions were gradually cooling down, began to contemplate life: Why am I here? And what are they trying to do?

Considering the risk of being beaten to a pulp if he tried to distance himself from the situation, Li Lin decided to remain silent, but his fanatical lackeys thought otherwise.

"Your Excellency! What should we do next?"

The rioter, who had covered his head with a red stocking, shouted excitedly, pointing his baseball bat at the department store not far away.

The department store, which had already been looted once, looked rather desolate. Several guards were already loitering at the entrance. When they saw Li Linhao and his large group, they immediately raised their batons and riot shields, signaling them to get lost.

"What?!" Li Lin glared at him. "In this world, I'm the one who tells others to get lost, not the other way around!"

He slapped the stockinged dog's leg next to him and said, "Go, teach him a lesson!"

"Hurrah!" The frenzied crowd threw Li Lin aside and rushed toward the department store, instantly shattering the guards' thin defenses.

41. A clear and open mind.

Li Lin, who had been thrown to the side of the road by fanatical believers, gradually turned cold in the dark eyes, a hint of resentment in them, and gripped the crowbar in his hand tightly.

Honestly, if one second everyone is happily treating you like the boss, and the next second everyone is going to the department store to do free shopping, anyone would feel resentful.

Most people would feel resentful, but that would only last for a short while. But Li Lin was different.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't be fooled..." Before the chanting was finished, footsteps approached from afar, and a team of Ursus police officers hurriedly arrived, clearly the miserable working-class people who had come to take over the defense work.

Li Lin's chanting was forcibly interrupted. The leading black bear slapped Li Lin on the back, its expression serious: "You, the one with the crowbar, what just happened?"

"Reporting, sir!" Li Lin raised his hand in a less-than-perfect Ursus salute, his voice so loud it startled the officer. "That group of thugs stormed into the department store and wreaked havoc. They were extremely arrogant. Although I fought back with all my might, I was still outnumbered."

The black bear looked at Li Lin, who was covered in dust, with admiration, especially at the bloodstains on his face that had not been completely wiped off, and concluded that he must have gone through a hard-fought and arduous resistance.

Ursus desperately needs talent like this!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Lin immediately transformed into a traitor and whispered in the ear of the leading police officer: "Sir, they are still inside the department store. If we act now, we can definitely wipe out this group of thugs in one fell swoop!"

Selling out his teammate Li Lin was not a burden at all.
