Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 584 - 556 Rescue
Three minutes later, the robber boss checked his watch and shouted at Zhou Yun, "Zhou Yun, another three minutes have passed, and the car’s still not here. Are you waiting for me to kill someone before you send the car over!"
This time, the robber boss didn’t fire randomly but aimed the gun at Bu Mengting instead.

Bu Mengting trembled in fear, staring at the pitch-black muzzle as tears streamed down her face.
"Husband," Bu Mengting cried out, her voice filled with helplessness.
Lin Tian also observed the slight movements of the robber boss’s finger, ready to act at the slightest sign of trouble.
"Hold on, the car is coming right now," Zhou Yun said urgently, then turned to the police officers behind him and shouted, "Where’s the car, where’s the car...!"
Thirty seconds later, the robber boss’s patience ran out. He bellowed, "It seems I’ll have to kill someone before you’re willing to call in the car."
"No, no, no, the car is almost here, just one minute, only one minute," Zhou Yun shouted.
The robber boss couldn’t wait that long anymore. He aimed at Bu Mengting, ready to pull the trigger.
Lin Tian was itching to act, his eyes fixed on the robber boss, confident he could save Bu Mengting before the robber boss could fire.
Right at this critical moment, an armored car slowly approached.
Zhou Yun’s face lit up with joy as if he had just spotted a lifesaving straw.
"The car is here, the car is here," Zhou Yun yelled.
The robber boss saw the car and smiled, putting away his gun.
Lin Tian and Bu Mengting both exhaled deeply. If the robber had fired just then, although Lin Tian could have saved Bu Mengting, the resulting chaos would have inevitably caused casualties, which he didn’t want to see and was the reason he had held back.
Five robbers, one of them carrying a large parcel filled with gold and jewels, and the remaining four dragging a hostage, prepared to move towards the car.
Unfortunately, Lin Tian and Bu Mengting were amongst the four hostages.
The hostage in the robber boss’s grip was Bu Mengting. The robber holding Lin Tian was the fatty.
The robber boss yelled, "Don’t try any tricks, or they will all die."
Then, the one with the parcel was the first to get into the car, checking it thoroughly for bombs or trackers, and after ensuring it was safe, the rest of the robbers gradually got into the car.
When the car arrived, the robbers were in a state of panic, distracted by excitement. This was the best moment to strike.
Lin Tian inwardly gathered strength, and while the fat robber was distracted by the police, Lin Tian’s back foot sprang forth, landing a kick squarely on the fat robber’s groin.
"Damn it, that hurts!"
The fat robber instinctively clutched at his groin. Lin Tian seized the opportunity, throwing a punch that killed the fat robber instantly!
Lin Tian wanted to move forward and kill the robber boss to rescue Bu Mengting, but the robber boss didn’t give him a chance. He stepped into the car and opened fire at Lin Tian.
The two other robbers also shot at Lin Tian, who pulled out a coin from his bosom, using it as a flying dagger. Dodging bullets, he launched it at an angle.
The coin embedded itself into the forehead of one robber, killing him on the spot. Another robber was taken out by a police sniper. The hostages were unharmed and quickly ran to a safe place, taking cover.
"Stop...!"
An ear-piercing noise erupted as the robber boss and the one with the jewels closed the car, about to flee.
Several inexperienced officers opened fire rapidly, sparks flying as the bullets struck the car, which was unaffected.
Zhou Yun cursed, "Dammit, stop shooting. There are hostages inside, and it’s an armored car, shooting is fucking useless."
"Chief Zhou, what should we do?" one officer asked.
Zhou Yun was stumped by the question. How to proceed? He didn’t know what to do either.
"Chief Zhou, quick, look, that kid’s gone crazy!"
An officer pointed ahead. The armored car driven by the robbers had started moving, speeding forward rapidly, while Lin Tian stood in front of the fast-moving vehicle, motionless.
Lin Tian’s recent action had saved two hostages, earning Zhou Yun’s respect. But now, Zhou Yun was confused.
Standing in front of a speeding armored car, what was he doing? Was it a death wish?
"Damn, get out of the way!" Zhou Yun shouted.
The other police officers echoed the sentiment.
"Move, or you’ll be crushed to a pulp."
"Step aside, we will try our best to save the hostages."
"Don’t give up on life so easily, don’t seek your own death!"
..., ...
Amidst people’s discussions, Lin Tian began to move.
His right foot took the lead, stomping hard onto the ground.
Bang!
With a loud noise, the marble-paved road cracked under Lin Tian’s stomp, his ankle sinking into the soil.
After all, it was marble!
The force required for such a feat was massive!
"Whoa...!"
The crowd gasped in astonishment, staring at Lin Tian, transfixed.
His left foot now lifted and stomped down just like the right, his ankle sinking into the ground.
"Look, the armored car is about to hit him," an officer exclaimed amid shocked cries.
Lin Tian’s arms swung in unison, opening wide, his entire being surging with energy, his superpower exploding like the Heaven Opening Pangu itself.
Immense, unrivaled power gathered in his arms.

Witnessing this scene, the police officers began to express their opinions.
"What is he doing, he’s really trying to block the vehicle."
"This kid has gone crazy."
"I can tell he is very strong, but the horsepower of the armored vehicle is even greater than a Hummer’s; he alone can’t stop it, he’ll be crushed into mush."
..., ...
Lin Tian and the armored car were within a hair’s breadth of each other when the robber leader let out a cold laugh and stomped on the gas, flooring it.
"I’ll run you over and avenge my brothers."
"Bang! Bang!"
Two loud noises as Lin Tian’s hands fiercely slammed onto the armored car.
The robber leader felt the immense force from Lin Tian’s hands, and the speed of the armored car instantly slowed down, causing his body to lean forward and his head to violently hit the steering wheel.
"What...what!" he exclaimed in shock.
The armored car continued to move forward for a dozen meters, with Lin Tian retreating along with it, his feet backpedaling in the dirt, forcibly leaving two trenches on the marble ground!
The armored car was truly stopped by Lin Tian, and upon seeing this, the officers swiftly changed their tune.
"Wow! Divine Power!"
"He’s even fiercer than a weightlifting champion!"
"What’s the background of this kid, he’s so strong!"
The robber leader panicked, desperately stepping on the gas, but the car didn’t budge an inch, and at last, it came to a stop with a loud bang.
Pedal to the metal, he burned out the engine.
"Damn it, forget the jewels, follow me," the robber leader shouted to his comrades.
Afterward, he pointed his gun at Bu Mengting and slowly stepped down from the vehicle.
Lin Tian, gasping for breath, pulled his feet out of the mud; if not for his muscles and bones which had been tempered with Dragon Transformation Liquid, his feet would have already been shattered from being dragged on the marble ground.
He drank a healing potion and slowly walked out, standing face to face with the robber leader.
The robber leader stared at Lin Tian, a hint of awe flashing in his eyes. Yet he was no ordinary man, at the end of his rope and still showing no sign of fear.
Zhou Yun also tensed up for Lin Tian and Bu Mengting, shouting through a loudspeaker, "You’re surrounded, and most of your men are down. Release the hostage, and I promise we can apply for a pardon for you."
The robber leader had dozens of lives on his hands; if caught, he faced certain death. But his accomplices, although involved in several heists, had never killed; they mostly just lifted jewelry and gold. If they were captured, they might be sentenced to ten or twenty years and then released.
One of them came forward, put down his gun, and shouted, "I surrender, I surrender; I’ve never killed anyone, never...!"
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and the robber leader killed him on the spot.
Lin Tian and Zhou Yun both shook; to kill his own accomplice on a whim, that was ruthless!
The instant his gun left Bu Mengting’s head, the hidden sniper quickly aimed, but it was a step too late; before the sniper could fire, the gun was again aimed at Bu Mengting.
Clearly, he had professional training in this area, leaving even the skilled sniper with no way to handle him.
Lin Tian said, "Let her go, and I’ll give you a quick death."
The robber leader laughed, "I’ve killed countless people in my life; I haven’t cared about my own for a long time—even now, as a cornered beast, I’m confident I can escape."
"Move aside, or else I’ll kill her."
He pressed the gun against Bu Mengting’s head.
Lin Tian was extremely anxious inside but did not step aside.
Since these people were after money, it proved they were greedy; and the greedy share a common weakness, they fear death.
Bu Mengting was now his only bargaining chip; once Bu Mengting died, he would be shot immediately. He wouldn’t kill Bu Mengting unless absolutely necessary.
Lin Tian didn’t move aside; instead, he stepped forward.
"Take one more step, and I’ll kill her," the robber leader yelled, pressing the gun harder against Bu Mengting’s head.
"Don’t get agitated; get back, don’t let him harm the hostage," Zhou Yun shouted.
Lin Tian kept moving forward, completely ignoring Zhou Yun’s words.
The robber leader panicked, having never seen someone so willing to risk their life.
He couldn’t kill Bu Mengting; his only option was to kill Lin Tian.
As he hid behind Bu Mengting and shook his head, trying to prevent the sniper from getting a clear shot, he also aimed the gun at Lin Tian.
"Be careful."
"Bang!"
A bullet whizzed towards Lin Tian, who activated his Neural Response Speed Ability, transforming into an afterimage. He stirred up a breeze and, swift as the wind, charged right up to the robber leader’s face.
The robber leader felt a lethal threat; before he could react, Lin Tian had already grabbed his gun.
"You...!"
The robber leader shrieked just as he aimed the gun at Lin Tian’s forehead, ready to shoot.
At that moment, Lin Tian exerted force with one hand; the robber leader felt his gun deforming, more and more, until...
Emma!
The once intact gun now resembled a twisted pretzel in shape, and he frantically pulled the trigger, but the gun did not respond at all.
