Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 413 - 385: Racing Against Time

"Hmph, you might as well die instead." Albert snorted coldly, already charging towards Lin Tian, his fist covered with metallic edges, swinging straight at Lin Tian's chest.

"Seeking death." Lin Tian watched Albert rush at him and shouted loudly, instantly activating all his battle-capable superpowers: neural response speed, Ox Power Technique, fire control, and anti-gravity.

First, he used his anti-gravity ability to make Albert lose his balance, then Lin Tian turned into an afterimage as he moved behind him, raising his hand to punch, cloaked in scorching flames, at Albert's waist.

"Bang...crack..."

The sounds of impact and cracking bones sounded simultaneously. Albert was sent flying, not expecting Lin Tian to activate four abilities at once. He had thought Lin Tian only had three abilities, so the sudden onslaught of anti-gravity caught him off guard and Lin Tian broke his ribs.

"Pfft..." Lin Tian, carrying He Qianqian on his back, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Activating four abilities simultaneously was tremendously draining, especially after battling for so long.

The force of blasting Albert away suddenly made Lin Tian feel dizzy and congested, a surge of weakness threatening to bring him down.

"Huff...huff..." His breathing grew labored as Lin Tian told himself, "No, I can't fall now. I must get Qianqian to the hospital quickly."

Zhang Ya saw Albert being punched and flying away by Lin Tian, her pupils shrinking, but then seeing Lin Tian spitting blood, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Li Xiong and others standing nearby, Zhang Ya called out, "Aren't you planning to make a move? He's at the end of his rope now, he poses no threat to you. If you let him get away this time, forget ever having a chance to deal with him later."

"But, but..." Upon hearing this, Li Xiong tightened his grip on his steel knife, his eyes filled with hesitation. He had witnessed the fight between Lin Tian and Albert, a level of combat far beyond their reach.

Although Lin Tian was severely injured now, no one could guarantee how much strength he still retained.

"What do you mean 'but'? Don't forget why you're here," Zhang Ya snapped, seeing the hesitation in Li Xiong's eyes. If her power wasn't taken by Lin Tian, she would have attacked already instead of waiting.

"Alright, let's risk it." Upon hearing Zhang Ya say this, Li Xiong gritted his teeth and yelled, gripping his steel knife as he and several subordinates surrounded Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian, you're going to die today. There's no escape for you," Li Xiong said to Lin Tian, maintaining a distance of about ten meters, not daring to step forward.

"You think you can take me down?" Lin Tian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looking disdainfully at Li Xiong and the others. Feeling He Qianqian's heartbeat slowing to a few times per minute, he was unwilling to entangle any further. "Get lost, or you'll all die."

"Hmph, who are you kidding? With you in that condition, how much strength can you possibly have left?" Listening to Lin Tian's threat, Li Xiong's pupils shrank involuntarily, but he quickly gathered his courage and shouted again. Zhang Ya was right—this was their best chance to kill Lin Tian. If they missed this, there would never be another opportunity.

Li Xiong thoroughly understood Lin Tian's abilities; not even ten of himself could match Lin Tian.

"Brothers, for a reward of ten million, let's kill him!" Li Xiong waved his steel knife and shouted.

With the promise of a magnificent reward, there must be someone courageous. It wasn't just a saying; those who were initially frightened now looked excited upon hearing the mention of a ten million reward. Their fear was swept away in an instant.

"Kid, just die peacefully, and maybe this young master will leave your whole corpse intact."

"Haha...hand over the ten million nicely, and maybe I'll set up a tombstone for you."

"Die..."

"..."

They swung their steel knives excitedly and shouted, their eyes filled with greed as they looked at Lin Tian. To them, he was money, a lot of money.

"Since you're seeking death, then go and die," Lin Tian's eyes darkened. He couldn't believe these lowly fighters dared to provoke him; really, they were tired of living.

Suppressing his headache, Lin Tian activated his Neural Response Speed and the Ox Power Technique as he charged towards Li Xiong and the others.

"Boom..." Arriving in front of the closest person, Lin Tian raised his hand and threw a punch. Although the man managed to react and used his steel knife to block in front of his chest, it could not withstand Lin Tian's furious strike. The steel knife broke in two, and his body was sent flying backward and slammed to the ground.

"He, he can still fight, run, we need to run." Seeing Lin Tian dispatch one man in the blink of an eye instilled terror in the others, and they turned to run. But how could their speed compare to Lin Tian's?

Lin Tian flashed forward and 'thundered,' another person was struck and taken down.

"Damn it, don't run, everyone stop!" Li Xiong watched his subordinates turn to flee and yelled angrily. "Our only chance to survive is to fight together."

"No way, going up there means certain death." The fleeing men wouldn't listen to Li Xiong; they were terrified and only thought about escaping this place as quickly as possible.

"Bang, bang..." Lin Tian took down two more men, and the remaining three finally stopped running because they realized they couldn't escape.

Looking at Lin Tian approaching, their livers turned to water, and their hands trembled as they held their steel knives.

"Attack the woman behind him; that way he can't focus his full strength on us," Li Xiong ordered the three men who had stopped, and he charged forward himself.

Seeing the other three prevent Lin Tian from concentrating fully on him, he circled behind Lin Tian. His steel knife gleamed coldly as he swung it down towards He Qianqian.

"Shh..." As the steel knife fell, it immediately splattered blood, but it hadn't struck He Qianqian. Instead, Lin Tian, to protect He Qianqian, blocked it with his arm.

"Die..." With bloodshot eyes, Lin Tian looked at Li Xiong, then kicked him in the abdomen, sending him flying while simultaneously throwing a ball of fire that ignited him.

"Ah... fire, fire... help me, help me." Flames enveloped Li Xiong, rapidly spreading over his entire body, turning him into a man of fire. The intense pain made him scream continuously until he was completely burned to death.

"Sizzle, sizzle..." Then, two more strikes were aimed at He Qianqian; Lin Tian blocked them in the same way, taking two more cuts to his arms, which bled profusely, flesh flying.

"Whizz..."

But he had no time to think further as another knife strike arrived, also aimed at He Qianqian.

"Shh..." Lin Tian grit his teeth and took it on his left shoulder.
