Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 585 - 557 Assault on Police
Twisting a rifle into a pretzel with his bare hands—what kind of madness was this!
How on earth did Lin Tian manage that!
How strong must his grip be!
The leader of the robbers was flabbergasted on the spot, and he wasn’t the only one—all present were similarly stunned.
Especially Bu Mengting, who stared at Lin Tian with stars in her eyes, practically worshipping him.
"Run, for God’s sake! It’s a ghost!"
The leader was the first to snap out of it. Seeing that his gun was now useless, he turned tail and ran.
Bu Mengting anxiously shouted from the side, "Husband, catch that bad guy—he’s hurt me."
What? He actually hurt his own little wife!
Lin Tian was furious. He originally planned to leave the aftermath to the police, but now it seemed he needed to take matters into his own hands.
Whoever dared to hurt his little wife, Lin Tian would make them pay a hundred times over.
With a stride that covered ground in twos and threes, he easily caught up with the gang leader and kicked him to the ground.
"Mercy, please, mercy...!"
The gang leader knelt on the ground, banging his head and begging for mercy.
Although he spoke as if he feared not death, when the Grim Reaper came knocking, he was terrified of dying.

No one is unafraid of death; fear of death is human nature.
Without a word, Lin Tian swung his hand in a slap that landed on the robber’s face.
He used all his might in that slap; with a scream that could shake the heavens, the robber spit out a mouthful of blood and lost five or six teeth!
The robber, with his face bloody and mangled, struggled to his feet and begged Lin Tian through excruciating pain, "Master, I was truly wrong, I dare not do it again, please spare me...!"
It had to be said, he was indeed cunning, with a tenacity born of his bones. Despite the intense pain, he did not forget to beg for his life—a feat an average person couldn’t achieve.
He had dozens of lives on his hands; there was a reason he had evaded the law for so long!
Lin Tian paid no heed to his pleas, stepping on his mouth and breaking all his teeth, while nearly half of the bones in his face were shattered.
His other foot was not idle either, as he broke all five of the robber’s fingers.
"Oh...!"
The gang leader let out a scream so piercing it was akin to slaughtering a pig, and even Bu Mengting, who hated him to the core, couldn’t bear to watch the gruesome scene. After all, she was a woman who found such bloodshed unbearable.
She turned away, no longer looking at Lin Tian.
This time, the gang leader didn’t beg for mercy; he was in so much pain, he had no capacity to plead.
Lin Tian did not intend to let him off. With a powerful kick to his groin, he sent the man flying over ten meters, effectively ruining his manhood.
Now the gang leader couldn’t endure it any longer. With his testicles shattered, he felt not just pain but also immense humiliation. Without his manhood, was he still a man? After all, not everyone had the mindset of a Sima Qian.
Desperate to fight back, he tried to stand and confront Lin Tian, but he couldn’t. All he could do was shout, "F*ck your mother, Lin Tian! If you’ve got the guts, then kill me—I’m not afraid to die. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!"
"You’re not even worthy of the title ’gentleman,’" Lin Tian scoffed, casually picking up a Flying Dagger from the ground. "You say you’re not afraid to die; I’m curious to see whether that’s true or not."
"Whoosh!"
The dagger flew straight toward the gang leader’s brow.
He had not exerted his full strength with that throw; he did not wish to kill the gang leader just yet. This throw was merely a test to see if the man was truly unafraid of death; had he wished to, he could have dodged it.
The gang leader was dumbfounded; he watched the Flying Dagger shoot towards his brow, not believing Lin Tian would actually dare to kill him.
One must understand that behind them stood many police officers. Even though the gang leader was undoubtedly deserving of death, legal procedures must be followed. Lin Tian had no right to execute him on the spot; otherwise, he would surely be embroiled in a legal battle.
"You maniac!"
The gang leader yelled. He was already a dead man walking, due to be caught by the police and likely to live only another month or two. Yet Lin Tian was determined not to let him live even that long, willing to face a lawsuit to kill him—what was he if not a madman?
To save his own life, he dodged in desperation as the dagger flew past his ear and embedded itself firmly in the ground.
"Phew..." He let out a long breath of relief, thinking he had narrowly escaped death.
Turning towards Lin Tian, he was struck with terror once more; his hair stood on end as he saw Lin Tian, armed with a military dagger, approaching step by step. It seemed Lin Tian had had enough of toying with him and was ready to end his life.
He knew well the methods of Lin Tian; taking a life was not as simple as making a statement and being done with it.
Though he knew he was doomed, he did not want to be killed by Lin Tian; if he could live for one more day, he would cherish it.
He wanted to run, but he simply had no strength left. With no other options, he could only place his hope in the police.
"Zhou Yun, are you freaking dead? I’m the criminal; it’s the law’s job to punish me. What the hell are you cops for if you’re just going to let him kill me like this?"
"I’ve been responsible for dozens of deaths over the years, and I’m a wanted criminal in five provinces. If you capture me, you would get promoted and rich. If I die, you’ll have nothing..."
The gang leader’s first statement left Zhou Yun unmoved, but the last words struck a chord in his heart.
Capturing a wanted criminal from five provinces was a major accomplishment, enough for him to get promoted and rich. Some cops worked their entire lives without encountering such a big case.
Zhou Yun quickly drew his pistol while the hidden sniper aimed at Lin Tian and placed a red dot on his forehead, signaling for him not to move.
A group of police officers quickly surrounded Lin Tian. As Zhou Yun ran, he shouted through a megaphone, "Lin Tian, drop the knife. We live in a society ruled by law—the law will make the judgment on him, not you. You have no right or qualification to kill him."
Lin Tian’s foot was on the chest of the gang leader, and he showed no fear of the red dot on his forehead. He didn’t believe the sniper would dare to shoot him.
He turned around and said disdainfully to Zhou Yun, "You know when to step out for merit, but where were you earlier? If it weren’t for me, do you think you bunch of cops could have subdued these robbers?"
"You...!"
Zhou Yun started to speak but stopped, his face turning red. Lin Tian had shamed him, and he could not refute it because it was true.
He couldn’t just watch as Lin Tian killed the gang leader; that would mean losing his own chance at a reward. Reluctantly, he shouted, "Lin Tian, you’re just an ordinary citizen. You don’t have the right to kill him. Otherwise, you’ll go to prison. Killing a suspect from five provinces in front of the police could mean at least ten years in prison. Think it over!"
After finishing, a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He didn’t believe Lin Tian would take on a lawsuit just for the sake of killing a robber.
Lin Tian was fearless. Obviously, Zhou Yun had no idea that Lin Tian was the founder of Tianyi Pharma. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to speak like that.
"Money talks" is a fact, and Lin Tian now had not only money but also a reputation. With a powerful backer like the old chief, if he killed someone who deserved it, who would dare to convict him?
He wasn’t afraid, but Bu Mengting at his side was. She didn’t want Lin Tian to go to jail for ten years just to avenge her.
Bu Mengting ran over and grabbed Lin Tian, pleading, "Honey, let’s go. You’ve almost beaten him to death. I’ve let out my anger. I don’t want to see you go to prison."
The more she talked, the more agitated she became, and she ended up crying.
Lin Tian stroked her head with one hand and comforted her with the other, "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I have to avenge you. Stand aside for now, it’s too dangerous here."
Bu Mengting wouldn’t let go, knowing that Lin Tian still intended to kill the gang leader, "Husband, I don’t want you in jail. I can’t live without you."
"Move aside, there’s nothing to worry about. I’ll take care of this," he insisted.
While speaking, Lin Tian pushed Bu Mengting aside. She knew Lin Tian’s temperament and believed in his abilities. Further talk was useless, so she stepped aside but was genuinely worried for him.
Lin Tian then let a ruthless look fill his eyes and told Zhou Yun, "Nobody can stop me from killing whoever I want to kill. Don’t try to scare me with the law. I’m not afraid!"
He looked down at Zhou Yun with contempt and slowly extended his knife towards the gang leader’s neck.
Zhou Yun was a high-ranking officer in the police department, surrounded by his subordinates. Insulted repeatedly by Lin Tian and seeing his chance for advancement and wealth being jeopardized, he became furious.
He waved his hand, and two snipers quickly approached, aiming their guns at Lin Tian’s head and bellowed, "Drop the knife, or we’ll shoot you dead."
After helping them and speaking some hard truths, Lin Tian was met with such treatment from Zhou Yun, and he too was enraged.
He shouted, "Are you pointing guns at my head to threaten me?"
"So what if we are!" one of the snipers retorted angrily.
Lin Tian, seething with anger, acted quickly, and in the next moment, both sniper rifles were in his hands.
The two snipers exclaimed in surprise and tried to take the guns back, but before they could exert any force, Lin Tian had broken the rifles in half.
Lin Tian declared, "Zhou Yun, today I’m going to kill him right in front of you. Let’s see what you can do about it!"
His knife moved swiftly, aiming for the gang leader’s throat.
"He’s assaulting an officer and obstructing official duties! Everybody, get him and stop him!" Zhou Yun ordered furiously. Regardless of Lin Tian having helped them, he had to confront Lin Tian for the disrespect shown.
Before the police could move two steps, Lin Tian’s knife had already plunged into the gang leader’s throat, killing him in front of Zhou Yun.
With the gang leader dead, the other officers didn’t try to stop Lin Tian anymore; instead, they stood there pointing their guns at him, looking to Zhou Yun, not sure what to do next.
Lin Tian looked at Zhou Yun with a taunting expression.
"Damn it, arrest him but don’t shoot him, break his legs," Zhou Yun shouted.
Over a hundred police officers swiftly advanced, each holding a baton, and went after Lin Tian.
Lin Tian sneered and threw punches. His movements were as quick as a rabbit, and in the blink of an eye, he had knocked down over a dozen officers. It seemed like he didn’t feel any pressure facing over a hundred of them.
"Damn it," Zhou Yun exclaimed, losing all reason, and yelled, "He’s assaulting the police, shoot him dead!"
