Chapter 58: Chapter 56 Thunder Skill’s First Real Combat!
Human Trafficker: !!
He seemed to already smell something foul.
Though his acting was sufficiently solid, he almost lost his composure!
"Could this kid be a fool?"
"Who talks to people like this?"
The more the human trafficker looked at Lin Beichen, the more he seemed unintelligent. Forget being wary, he almost wanted to kick him away.
Cursing internally was one thing, but he still had to maintain appearances.
This was not the time to make a mistake.
He suppressed his annoyance, kept his expression as gentle and friendly as possible, and shook his head, saying, "I’m really sorry, young man. I have things to take care of at home, so I can’t take you. How about you walk ahead and ask someone else?"
After speaking, he didn’t wait for Lin Beichen to pass by but prepared to move past Lin Beichen himself.
Seeing the human trafficker about to walk past him, Lin Beichen also felt troubled.
"I definitely can’t keep pestering him any longer!"
"If I keep this up, the human trafficker will get suspicious, and that’ll be trouble."
"But if I don’t pester him, I can’t delay any longer."
"When will the police arrive?"
"How much longer do I need to stall?"
Thinking of this, he felt helpless. Not to mention how long he needed to stall, he couldn’t even stall for another minute.
"Looks like I have to use Thunder Skill to forcefully stop him!"
This was the last resort, but also the only choice. He couldn’t just watch the human trafficker abduct the girl.
However, Lin Beichen had never used Thunder Skill in actual combat.
Thinking about using electricity on a person, he felt uncertain.
It was true he could stun a sheep, but could he really electrocute a person?
So, although Lin Beichen decided to take action, he didn’t act rashly. Instead, he planned out the combat details in his mind.
Be cautious.
Don’t end up getting himself caught instead of the human trafficker.
"When I electrocuted the sheep, it struggled a few times. Will the electricity incapacitate him immediately?"
"What if it doesn’t? If he has a knife or some kind of weapon and counterattacks, how should I respond? I haven’t practiced any body-strengthening Cultivation Method."
"It’s not just about counterattacking; what if he moves erratically and accidentally shocks the child?"
"..."
It’s no wonder Lin Beichen had so many thoughts. Even though he had been cultivating for some time, he hadn’t had any real combat experience, so it was natural to feel anxious.
Just like someone who spent a decade practicing offstage but would still be nervous the first time on stage.
At this moment, Lin Beichen desperately wished that the electricity in his hand was Palm Thunder. Not only was it powerful, but it could also strike the human trafficker from afar, avoiding the dangers of close combat.
At this point, the human trafficker, carrying the child, had completely passed by Lin Beichen.
The distance between them would begin to increase.
He understood...
The farther away, the greater the risk, the more uncontrollable factors.
This was the best opportunity!
"First use in actual combat, Thunder Skill!"
After planning every detail, Lin Beichen abandoned all worries and quickly mobilized the electric element in his liver.
"Da-da-da... Da-da...!"
A crackling sound immediately rang out.
Thin, pale blue arcs of electricity danced in Lin Beichen’s palm.
The human trafficker was used to dealing with stun sticks, sensitive to such sounds. Though the sound wasn’t loud, he caught it instantly.
"What’s that sound?"
"Why does it sound like a stun stick?"
"That kid just now..."
The human trafficker was bewildered and instinctively turned his head.
However, before he could move.
Suddenly!
He felt his shoulder sharply tapped.
"Could I be exposed?"
His first reaction was that he was exposed.
But whether he was really exposed, he couldn’t be sure. Still, it didn’t stop him from reacting.
"Doesn’t matter if I’m exposed."
"At this moment..."
"No mistakes can be made."
A vicious gleam flashed in the human trafficker’s eyes as he reached into his bag for the prepared knife.
But at that moment.
Suddenly!
A numbing sensation spread from his shoulder in an instant, swiftly coursing through his entire body.
"What the hell is happening?"
"What’s this feeling?"
The human trafficker was startled. Then his face changed dramatically, realizing he had been shocked.
In an instant, he felt as if countless needles were piercing outwards from within his body.
Excruciating pain!
"Ah——!!"
A scream burst from his throat.
His body shook uncontrollably and then crashed heavily to the ground, twitching slightly, limbs contorted like he was wrestling with himself.
Lin Beichen’s subconscious still worried about hurting the child, so he didn’t use full force, opting for an attack to paralyze the human trafficker.
Lin Beichen quickly snatched the child from the twitching human trafficker.
"The child is fine."
Seeing the child in a stable condition with no issues, the huge weight on his heart was lifted.
Meanwhile.
The dazed human trafficker regained some clarity.
"All my years capturing prey, now I’ve been fooled!"
"This kid is a beast, using a sneak attack!"
"But the kid doesn’t have a stun stick, what did he use to shock me?"
"..."
A whirl of thoughts flooded his mind, but his body didn’t idle, driven by the fear of prison, he overcame the numbness, struggling to get up, still reaching into his bag for the knife.
Such a large action.
Lin Beichen wasn’t blind and noticed immediately.
"Still thinking of counterattacking at this stage?"
Cautious as Lin Beichen was, he wasn’t about to let him succeed. With no more worries, he decisively dealt a deadly blow.
Crackle!
His palm discharged again.
This time, the power of the electricity surged dramatically!
Previously, worried about the child being affected, he had restrained himself. Now, with the child safe, there were no reservations, no mercy.
This strike...
Erased any chance of counterattack!
"Da-da-da—— Da-da——!!!"
In an instant!
His palm was enveloped in dark blue arcs, thicker and more turbulent, like a boiling ocean.
Human Trafficker: ??????
What am I seeing?!?!
Can someone actually generate electricity??
...
He stared in disbelief at the crackling arcs, thinking he was hallucinating from the shock.
At that moment.
Lin Beichen’s electrified palm struck.
Watching the approaching electrified hand magnify.
The human trafficker panicked.
Who wouldn’t panic?
He frantically tried to evade, but his body still numb, refused to cooperate, forcing his exertion only drained his strength.
This time...
Not only did he fail to dodge, but halfway through, he staggered and plunged headfirst into the oncoming palm.
