Upon seeing the system's warning, Su Bai's heart rang with alarm, his muscles tensing up.

  Even though he had disguised himself, it seemed he was still being targeted!

  Moreover, all three were low-tier martial artists, just like him.

  Before reaching the Bronze Tier, martial artists and superpowered individuals were only considered as trainees, without any rank distinctions.

  But even so, low-tier martial artists were much stronger than ordinary people. Furthermore, before superpowered individuals fully developed their abilities, martial artists generally had better physical attributes and combat power than superpowered individuals of the same level.

  Facing three opponents, the situation was extremely tricky.

  Su Bai's mind raced, but he remained calm, quickly devising a strategy.

  He glanced at the suspicious people following him through a roadside mirror.

  All three were around thirty years old, with iron rods tucked at their waists, their burly figures exuding a menacing aura.

  He definitely couldn't lead them back home. Su Bai couldn't bring any danger to his family, not even the slightest possibility.

  Their advantage lay in their numbers and weapons, but he also had his own advantages.

  First, in their eyes, he was just one person, a prey, which he could use to exploit their underestimation.

  Second, he had his tamed beast, Little Tortoise. Though it was only the size of a plate, it was tough and could serve as a solid shield in critical moments.

  Moreover, its bite was strong enough that, given the chance to strike a vital point, it could kill in one blow.

  If he could find a way to separate the three, his chances of winning would be significantly higher!

  With his thoughts clear, Su Bai headed towards an abandoned building he remembered.

  The place was desolate, with complex terrain and no surveillance cameras!

  It was an ideal location for a counterattack.

  ***

  The sun slowly set on the horizon, and the dim streetlights had long been lit, casting long shadows of Su Bai and the three low-tier martial artists on the quiet street.

  There were hardly any other pedestrians on the street. If they weren't still within the city's surveillance range, the three following him would have likely made their move already.

  But who was the prey and who was the hunter remained uncertain!

  After turning a corner, the abandoned building was right in front of him. With the corner blocking their view, Su Bai suddenly sped up and dashed into the building.

  The three behind him lost sight of Su Bai after turning the corner.

  "Huh? Boss, where did he go? Could he be hiding in the abandoned building?"

  "Judging by Old Man Zheng's attitude when he left, this kid must have something valuable. It'd be a shame to let him get away."

  This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

  "Who would've thought we'd run into such a fat sheep just when we got what Brother Long wanted and were about to head back!"

  "If we score big, we can have a great time at the Diamond Realm tonight. I heard there are some new girls, hehehe..."

  At this, the other man also showed a knowing smile.

  The slightly mature leader ignored the two, staring at the abandoned building ahead, saying, "He probably knows we're following him. If I'm not mistaken, he's hiding inside!"

  "Hmph, if he ran, we'd have to chase him, but now he's just walking into a trap."

  "How foolish!"

  Clearly, the three low-tier martial artists were familiar with the terrain of this deserted area. The leader gave orders.

  "There's only one abandoned building, with two exits. I'll block the back exit, you block the front, and keep an eye out for him jumping out the window. You go in and catch him!"

  After giving orders, the three acted accordingly. The leader and the third man blocked the entrances, while the second man, holding an iron rod, slowly entered the building.

  Martial artists had a strong sense of danger. They didn't feel any threat from Su Bai, who seemed to be hiding and running at the sight of them, clearly not a master.

  He was likely just a lucky ordinary person who stumbled upon something valuable, a type they had encountered many times.

  For such people, their low-tier martial artist strength was more than enough.

  At this moment, they felt they had hit the jackpot.

  ***

  The abandoned building was only six stories high, with no renovations or places to hide, making it nearly impossible to remain undiscovered inside.

  It would take about ten minutes to search from the first floor to the top.

  The second man quickly searched the first floor, found no sign of Su Bai, and continued to the second floor.

  Meanwhile, Su Bai was in a room on the third floor, holding a brick, leaning against the wall, waiting quietly.

  He had released Little Tortoise from its space, its eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

  When the second man reached the second floor, Su Bai relaxed slightly, hearing the footsteps.

  As expected, they had split up, and only one was searching the second floor!

  Everything was going according to Su Bai's plan. He tightened his grip on the brick, pressing his back against the wall.

  His breathing slowed, as if entering a state of turtle breathing.

  Soon, the second man reached the third floor.

  As the footsteps approached, Su Bai flexed his right hand holding the brick, ready to strike at any moment.

  Five meters.

  Three meters.

  One meter.

  As the second man stepped into the room where Su Bai was hiding!

  Su Bai, who had been holding his breath, suddenly sprang up, swinging the brick at the man's head.

  Thud!

  "Ah!"

  With his strength enhanced by Little Tortoise, Su Bai was much stronger than an ordinary person.

  This heavy blow, aimed at a vital point, was too much even for a low-tier martial artist.

  Blood splattered, and the second man fell, unconscious.

  But Su Bai wasn't done. He picked up the iron rod from the ground and hit him several more times, blood gushing out.

  The leader and third man downstairs heard the screams and shouted.

  "Second, what's going on upstairs? Are you okay?"

  "What's wrong, Second Brother?"

  Receiving no response, the leader and third man rushed into the building, heading towards the source of the sound.

  "Second Brother, where are you?"

  The leader, more perceptive, sensed something was wrong and quickly covered the third man's mouth, whispering, "Third, something's happened to Second. This kid isn't simple!"

  The third man swallowed hard, nodding, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily, gripping his iron rod tightly.

  The two soon reached the third floor.

  "They're here, two of them, and they're close together!"

  Listening to the approaching footsteps, Su Bai assessed the situation from behind the wall.

  When they saw the fallen second man in the room, the third man, lacking experience, tried to step in and check.

  But in that instant, the leader saw a shadow dart from behind the wall towards the third man.

  "Watch out, Third!"

  But it was too late. Before the third man could react, Su Bai had already sprung up, swinging the brick with a whoosh, hitting him hard on the head.

  Thud...

  A heavy thud of flesh and bone colliding echoed.

  The third man fell straight down.

  Su Bai's strike was ruthless, without hesitation, even more vicious than before.

  Dropping the brick, Su Bai didn't pause, swinging the iron rod with both hands, striking the third man's head again.

  At this moment, he couldn't afford any hesitation or mercy.

  He knew well that mercy to the enemy was cruelty to himself.

  He had to strike while the iron was hot!

  Swinging the iron rod repeatedly until the third man's skull caved in, Su Bai finally stopped.

  With such force, his disguise had completely fallen off, revealing his young face to the leader.

  But the leader didn't relax at all; instead, he felt an even greater sense of threat and chill.

  He was utterly stunned by Su Bai's ruthlessness and youthful appearance.

  Such a young boy, with such meticulous thinking and ruthless actions, was terrifying!

  Cold sweat dripped from the leader's forehead.

  After finishing his task, Su Bai, slightly panting, addressed the last follower:"From your expression, I see fear.

  Now it's just you left. Aren't you going to run?"

  Su Bai's words were light and calm, but to the leader, they were like thunder.

  No, this boy would be no ordinary person in the future.

  Since he had already offended him, he couldn't let him live!

  In his view, Su Bai had only taken down two people by surprise. In a direct confrontation, he believed he wouldn't lose.

  But what the leader didn't expect was that just as he was about to confront Su Bai directly, a black, spherical object suddenly shot out from the shadows beside him.

  It crashed straight into his toe.

  "Ah!"

  The leader felt as if his toe had been smashed by a hammer, the pain causing him to stumble.

  "I got ambushed too? What the hell is this?"

  This was the last thought in the leader's mind.

  Su Bai had been waiting for this chance, quickly closing the distance in a swift step, swinging the iron rod down.

  "Thud~"

  Another heavy blow landed, and the leader's eyes rolled back as he lost consciousness.

  And so, the three thugs lay dead or unconscious at Su Bai's feet.

  To ensure there were no loose ends, Su Bai continued to swing the iron rod at the leader's head with all his strength until red and white matter oozed out, then he stopped.

  "Huff huff huff~"

  After completely eliminating the threat, Su Bai, panting heavily, tossed the rod aside and sat down on the ground.

  Feeling the blood coursing through his veins and the indescribable thrill.

  He murmured with a slight tremble, "So this is what it feels like to kill?"
