Chapter 488: If Not, Then Five Minutes

Chapter 488: If Not, Then Five Minutes

Wang Tianhu cast a sideways glance at Ye Tian, then started walking toward him step by step.

"And who the hell do you think you are, talking to me like that? The woman I, Wang Tianhu, have set my eyes on—you dare to compete with me for her? You clearly don't take me seriously at all!"

Seeing how furious he looked, Ye Tian hadn't expected to run into someone like this right after arriving here. This guy was clearly looking for trouble.

Since he was asking for it, Ye Tian felt it was only right to teach him a lesson and let him know he was out of line.

Bang!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian threw a punch at him, nearly knocking him off his feet. Ye Tian said calmly, "Heh. So that's all you've got? I thought you looked all big and tough—turns out you're just all bark and no bite. You're just arrogant, but you've got no real strength."

Wang Tianhu stared at Ye Tian in disbelief, trying to figure out what had just happened. How had he been forced back like that before he even saw the punch coming? Was this guy a ghost or something?

"No, something's definitely off with this punk!"

After muttering to himself, he asked, "Who the hell are you?"

"I go by the name Ye Tian—same name whether I'm standing or sitting."

"Ye Tian? Never heard of you. But you definitely look suspicious. You're not from around here, are you?"

"You're right. I'm not. But what does that matter? The point is—I don't like the look of you one bit. So why don't you hurry up and leave before I really lose my patience?"

"I only lost earlier because I wasn't ready. Now that I'm prepared, things'll be different."

"Oh? You want to go another round with me?"

This guy really didn't know his own limits. Did he honestly think he could be Ye Tian's match? He clearly hadn't realized that his loss had nothing to do with being unprepared.

"That's right, I want to go head-to-head with you right now. What? Don't tell me you're scared? If you are, then crawl back into your mother's womb and try again. Come back when you've got some guts. And you still dare compete with me for a girl? Know your place."

"You're unbelievably arrogant and full of yourself. Telling me to be reborn? Sounds like you're talking about yourself. Since you said you weren't ready just now, I'll give you time. How long do you need? Will three minutes do?"

"Three minutes?"

Wang Tianhu burst out laughing. Was this guy joking?

What he meant by "preparation" was just staying alert. He didn't actually need that much time. So he said, "Three minutes is overkill. You think I'm trying to stall or something?"

"Aren't you the one who said you needed to prepare? If three minutes isn't enough, then how about five? I could wait an entire hour if that's what it takes."

"You're clearly mocking me! You're being way too disrespectful!"

Infuriated, Wang Tianhu charged at Ye Tian. Though he thought he was moving fast, to Ye Tian, his movements were painfully slow—so slow that even a turtle would be quicker.

"Too slow. At your speed, everything you do looks like slow motion to me. Don't blame me for looking down on you. It's just that there's really nothing to respect."

Just as Wang Tianhu's attack was about to land, Ye Tian casually twisted his body and dodged it entirely. His opponent's strike missed completely.

But Wang Tianhu didn't stop there. Since one move didn't connect, he kept attacking—surely not every strike would miss, right?

Yet what happened next was downright bizarre. No matter how he attacked, none of his strikes landed. How was Ye Tian doing this? How could someone move so fast?

"Why can't I hit you?"

"I already told you—your speed is just way too slow. In my eyes, you're no faster than a turtle."

"I refuse to believe this is real!"

He continued to assault Ye Tian, but not a single hit landed. The more he missed, the more unsettled he felt. Just what kind of power did this guy have?

Eventually, exhausted and drenched in sweat, Wang Tianhu had to stop. He panted heavily, utterly speechless. He hadn't expected Ye Tian to be so overwhelmingly strong—he was completely outmatched.

"So, Wang Tianhu, now you know—you're no match for me, right?"

"…I know."

Wang Tianhu nodded, then added, "But even if I'm no match for you, I still won't give up on her. She's my woman. You can't have her."

"You're full of yourself, aren't you?"

Ye Tian turned to Han Zhengyun and asked, "Are you his woman?"

"No! Since when was I his? Ye Tian, don't believe a word he says!"

Ye Tian said calmly, "You hear that, Wang Tianhu? Don't bother her again. She said herself there's nothing between you two. If I catch you pestering her again, I won't go easy on you. This is your official warning—don't forget it."

With that, even Wang Tianhu's last shred of dignity was gone. But there was nothing he could do. The gap in strength between them was just too great. Even if he wanted to fight, he didn't stand a chance.

Seeing the defiant look still in his eyes, Ye Tian chuckled. "Still not convinced, huh? But you're weaker than me. The more resentful your gaze, the more pathetic it looks. I suggest you leave before you embarrass yourself any further."

"…Fine. Ye Tian, I'll remember you. Just because I'm leaving now doesn't mean I'm afraid of you. Don't think this is the end—I won't let this go."

After speaking, he struggled to his feet. Though he'd taken a short rest, he was still covered in sweat—the fight just now had completely drained him.
