Chapter 36
“Whatever you do, you need a reason for it . That’s the rule . ”
These words appeared in Lin Sheng’s memory . He did not know who said it, but he took it seriously .
In those memories, there were also other people’s contacts and conversations, so he could not remember who it was . But it did not matter . If it worked, he would take it .
So, right then, he found an excuse for himself .
He approached them to ask for directions, and they bullied him, therefore he hit back and disabled them . Even if someone called the police, there were three witnesses around to prove that he was not lying .
As to why he did not speak at first…
The man hit him before he could speak . Many people around could prove that he just wanted to ask for directions .
Everything was well thought out before he stopped the men . He had asked several people around for directions just to prepare for the moment .
There was a distance of nearly one hundred meters between the breakfast stall and Lin’s Store . It was crowded, and Lin Zhounian was busy moving goods into his store . He did not notice what was happening in the middle of the crowd a hundred meters away .
Lin Sheng stepped forward without drawing his sword . He struck the hilt forward, hitting the first man’s dagger with precision .
*Clang!*
The dagger fell to the ground .
The others bellowed and rushed in from several directions at the same time, each with a dagger in their hands .

Lin Sheng took a step back and suddenly pulled his sword out .
A ring of silver light suddenly flashed across their faces .
*Swoosh!*
The four men wailed miserably, holding their hands and falling to the ground .
A great deal of blood gushed from their hands and spattered all over the ground .
Another strong man standing quietly behind Lin Sheng took out a black pistol and aimed at him ferociously .
*Swoosh!*
A silver glint flashed before the man, and the man’s right palm fell to the ground, along with his gun .
“Arghhh!!! My hand!!!”
Another man wailed miserably as he held his severed arm and dropped to the ground .
“These people have guns . Luckily, I’m quick, or else I’d be the one lying on the ground right now . I was right, you guys were trying to kill me . ”
He was far more experienced in combat and skilled in fighting than those men on the ground . If it had been a one-on-one fight, it may not have been over so quickly . However, when they attacked him all at the same time, it really gave him room for leverage .

It was then that the surrounding crowd reacted and dispersed quickly, screaming .
Lin Sheng glanced at the men on the ground before he turned and left quickly .
He had cut their main arteries . If they did not stop bleeding in time, they would bleed to death before long . Of course, he had asked Shayeen to arrange for someone to call the police and make an emergency call in advance .
They would not die, but they would become weak . In addition, he had also cut their tendons, so their hands would become inflexible later on .
Lin Sheng moved with great speed and soon disappeared .
Lin Zhounian was in the store when he heard the noise . He walked out and looked in the direction of the noise with suspicion, wondering what had happened there .
Soon, police cars with flashing lights arrived, followed by ambulances .
The men on the ground were loaded onto stretchers one by one, their intact hands handcuffed . Each man was escorted to the ambulance by a police officer .
In an alley not far away .
Shayeen, Russell, and Madillan stared blankly as Lin Sheng killed a group of strong men . One of them also tried to fight back with a gun, but Lin Sheng cut off his palm without even turning around .
The cruel and bloody but delicate swordsmanship formed a strong contrast in their minds . They just stood there in a daze .

“This is actual combat . ” Lin Sheng stood at the entrance of the alley, watching the three men . “In actual combat, you must never give your opponent any chance to fight back!”
“Will they die?” Shayeen asked in a quivering voice .
“No, I know what I’m doing . No one will die . ” Lin Sheng shook his head . With the memories of so many people, he was very clear about the strength of his hand and how much damage he could inflict .
“But… earlier… What if there’s a mistake?” Madillan hesitated, looking pale .
“Then I was just defending myself . Didn’t you see that they started it first?”
“But this will hurt the man behind the curtain,” Shayeen whispered . “Master, I found out where these thugs came from . ”
“Where?” Lin Sheng looked somber .
“The White Tarots . ” Shayeen gnashed her teeth .
“Are they very troublesome?” Lin Sheng was surprised .
“Yes, troublesome indeed . ” Shayeen nodded . “They’re the biggest gang in Huaisha, and there are also authorities backing them . ”
“How did the tournament get involved with the White Tarots?” Russell shouted, grabbing his hair . “It’s just an amateur fencing tournament . Are there any contestants from the White Tarots?”
“Let’s go back first . There should be no problem here for the time being . I expect someone will come for me soon . ” Lin Sheng looked calm . It was too late to think about anything else . The immediate concern was how to cope with the aftermath .
“Don’t worry . You got into trouble because of us, we’ll settle it!” Shayeen said earnestly .
Lin Sheng said nothing . He was suddenly agitated .
In reality, he had to control his force . He could not kill people even if he got into trouble, otherwise he would have to face a lawsuit . But that was not the case in his dreams . In the dream realm, he could just kill someone without hesitation .
At close range, even a gun was no match for him .
Lin Sheng now had this assurance because the man did not have time to shoot . Nonetheless, he was not invincible . If there was someone armed with a gun five meters away, it could pose a fatal threat to him .
“…Different worlds have different rules… What I should do is live better within the rules…”
Lin Sheng felt calmer now . With the memories of so many individuals, he could actually analyze the situation with a glance .
If he had more power than the White Tarots, this would never have happened . Then he could just kill those men without worrying about the White Tarots .
Shayeen, Madillan, and Russell were all on the phone .
In an age when mobile phones were still expensive, all three of them carried mobile phones, which meant that they certainly did not come from ordinary backgrounds . However, when it came to the White Tarots, they still had to be extremely careful .
“Yes!” Russell shouted . “My grandfather can help us settle this!”
Shayeen and Madillan breathed a sigh of relief .
