I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal

Chapter 447: Chapter 286: You’re holding him hostage, why are you threatening me?

In the silent, soundless night.

In a desolate, uninhabited area, a run-down auto repair shop stood alone.

The dim light, passing through the oil-stained windows, barely illuminated a corner of the shop. In this faint halo of light, three men lay quietly on the frigid floor, motionless.

One of them had legs twisted grotesquely, clearly suffering from severe comminuted fractures.

His complexion was pale, eyes tightly shut, appearing to have lost consciousness.

Beside him lay the other two men, one corpulent, the other comparatively lean, but both in equally dreadful states.

Their bodies were in unnatural positions, muscles and joints seemingly subjected to intentional and precise damage, rendering them immobile.

What was more horrifying was that there were clear signs of injury to the throats of both men, making it impossible for them to cry for help even if they wanted to. They could only squeeze out a few low and painful moans from deep within their throats, echoing through the empty repair shop.

And within this terrifying scene,

Chen Yun, holding a dog, was the picture of calm.

Compared to playing possum,

Chen Yun, who possessed Emotion Perception Ability, chose to act the instant the other party showed Killing Intent.

"Playing possum" is an idiom describing a person who appears weak, foolish, or inconspicuous on the surface but is actually very smart, capable, and, when it matters most, demonstrates their true strength to achieve their goals.

But for Chen Yun, why play possum?

Simply can’t stand it, dare to show up and get instant-killed!

The whole process was exceptionally decisive.

No excessive talk.

After all, it would also be too much trouble to say something when stepping on ants.

Looking at the figures lying limp in front of him, one unconscious and two unable to speak, Chen Yun turned and walked out of the room with a composed expression on his face.

In response,

The two men, one fat and one lean, each with their throats ruined, showed a hint of relief in their eyes.

In their minds, Chen Yun’s image had unsurprisingly risen to a level no different from that of a devil.

So, when they saw him leave,

The two conscious men both flickered with a bit of relief.

As Chen Yun’s footsteps gradually faded away, the sense of relief that filled the eyes of the two conscious men also gradually dissipated, replaced by complex emotions.

Although unable to speak, their gazes were filled with complex emotions—fear, anger, helplessness, and deep regret.

Those clean, swift movements, the irresistible strength, the speed as fast as the wind, it was as if they were watching an action performer with special effects in a movie.

The two armed men hadn’t managed to inflict a single injury before they were instantly taken down.

They realized,

they had underestimated the person before them.

Fortunately, they had been inexplicably spared, and perhaps there was still a chance to survive.

Thinking thus,

the leaner man suddenly widened his eyes and looked around.

For some reason, he felt an intense heat rising around him, and this feeling was growing stronger and stronger.

...

Outside the auto repair shop.

The red glow in Chen Yun’s eyes slowly dissipated.

The air warped by heat around his eyes settled.

But the repair shop standing in the deserted area in front of him had caught fire.

With the ability of thermal sight to heat objects from a distance, a mere glare had ignited this fire, and the three men inside, unable to move, could only wait for death.

At first,

the flames started to spread quietly from the edge of a window, but soon they spread like a wild beast.

Tongues of fire licked the old wooden structure, devouring anything combustible.

Thick smoke billowed out of the windows and door cracks, rolling into black clouds in the night sky.

As the fire intensified, the flames grew brighter, casting everything around in a golden glow.

Inside the auto repair shop, the once cold and still machinery was now illuminated by the firelight, reflecting a flickering shadow.

Sparks flew in all directions, landing on the ground, on toolboxes, even on the bodies of those men lying on the floor.

The burning oil and plastic gave off a pungent odor, mingling with the scent of heated metal, spreading throughout the space.

The increasingly muted screams of the men were drowned out by the sound of the flames.

The fire grew larger, until the entire building was engulfed in flames.

Roof tiles began to fall, walls started to crack. The structure of the auto repair shop gradually weakened under the high temperature and eventually collapsed under the strain.

With a thunderous roar.

Chen Yun stood not far away, watching it all unfold. His face bore few expressions, just a faint calm.

Stroking the silly dog Bai Jin in his arms.

His mood was completely undisturbed.

He might not kill the innocent as Motherland People might do.

But if truly provoked, he would not show the slightest mercy.

He was no saint and had no qualms about using violence to achieve a deterrent effect, nor did he hesitate to employ violence for the most direct retribution.

After all, with such strength, if he still had to suffer indignities,

what use was that strength?

If in the future others used righteousness to pressure him, used lives to threaten him, Chen Yun would continue killing nonchalantly.

Why should he feel threatened if they were holding him hostage?

Of course,

if they were holding someone close to him hostage, he might hesitate for a moment.

But he believed he had already acquired the strength to protect them by then.
