"It's over, kid!" Captain Cryo also raised his freeze gun, and a blue beam containing absolute zero was precisely fired at Barry's dodging path!
A pincer attack of ice and fire! There's no way to avoid it!
A flicker of despair crossed Barry's eyes!
Am I really going to fail here today?!
Inside the Star Labs, Cisco and Caitlin watched the critical scene on the screen, as anxious as ants on a hot plate!
"Barry! Get out of the way!"
"No! We're locked on! Think of something quick!"
Reverse-Flash Wells frowned. While he desperately wanted the Flash dead, not now! And certainly not at the hands of these two idiots! That would ruin his entire plan!
At this critical moment!
suddenly!
A pale red energy barrier, filled with a mysterious and chaotic aura, appeared out of thin air in front of Barry!
Like an impregnable barrier! It forcefully blocked the fiery tornado that could melt steel and the freezing rays that could freeze everything!
boom! ! !
The energies of ice and fire collided and exploded violently in front of the barrier, producing a deafening roar!
But the seemingly thin red barrier remained completely still! Not even a ripple appeared!
".〃What?!"
Captain Frozen and Heatwave both exclaimed in disbelief!
Their combined attack! It was actually blocked?!
who is it? !
They looked towards the source of the energy fluctuations!
Not far away, under the parasol of an open-air café, I could see a few steps away on the street.
Lin Tian was sitting there leisurely, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, with a faint smile on his face, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.
Beside him stood a red-haired girl in a scarlet dress, as beautiful as a goddess from mythology!
It was Wanda Maximov!
That powerful energy barrier was clearly her doing!
"Mr. Lin?!" Barry Allen was both surprised and delighted to see Lin Tian and Wanda suddenly appear!
Although he remained wary of Lin Tian, he had to admit that if Wanda hadn't intervened, he would probably be in grave danger!
"We meet again, Lightning Boy." Lin Tian put down his coffee cup, stood up, and slowly walked towards the battlefield, his face still showing that calm and collected expression. "Looks like you've got quite a bit of trouble on your hands."
"It's you?!" Captain Cold Steel's pupils contracted sharply when he saw Lin Tian's face!
He recognized this person!
Although I've only seen it in some blurry surveillance footage and underground intelligence!
But this mysterious Eastern man, and the witch beside him who can control red energy, have recently stirred up quite a storm in the underground world of the central city!
It is said that several gang leaders and criminals with superpowers have fallen into their hands! And their fates were all extremely tragic!
I never expected to run into you here today!
Snyder instantly felt the urge to back out!
Although he was arrogant, he also knew how to assess the situation! The man in front of him and that red-haired witch were definitely not someone he and Mick could handle!
"Mick! Let's go!" Snider made a quick decision, shouted, and turned to run away!
(Qian Zhao's) however
"Trying to leave?" Lin Tian's voice rang in his ears like a ghost!
Snyder didn't even see how Lin Tian moved!
next second!
His neck was gently gripped by a warm, strong hand!
It was as if he were being clamped in iron clamps! He couldn't move! Even breathing became difficult!
“You,” Snider’s eyes were filled with fear and disbelief!
How could this man be so fast?! Even faster than the Flash?!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Heatwave Mick Rory, who was a beat slower to react, saw his boss being restrained, roared, and raised his flamethrower to spray Lin Tian!
But he didn't have time to pull the trigger!
A black spider silk, shimmering with a purplish-gold luster, like a venomous snake, instantly coiled around his arm and the flamethrower!
Immediately afterwards! A cold yet alluring power seeped into his body along the spider silk!
Mick felt a sudden numbness all over his body! Then everything went black! He lost consciousness and collapsed limply to the ground!
The one who made the move was none other than Gwen, the Spider Queen, who had appeared near the battlefield at some unknown time!
She landed silently on the ground, wearing that eerie yet sexy purplish-black battle suit, her huge white eye sockets gleaming with a cold light.
"Master, the small fry have been cleared out." She, or rather, "they," said respectfully to Lin Tian in that hoarse and alluring voice.
Owner? !
Barry Allen was completely stunned when he heard this title!
This seemingly powerful and dangerous "Spider Woman" actually calls Lin Tian "Master"?!
Who exactly is Lin Tian?! What kind of monsters have gathered around him?!
Inside the Star Labs, Cisco, Caitlin, and Wells, who witnessed this scene through the surveillance cameras, were also deeply shocked!
Especially Caitlin! Looking at the "Spider Queen" who was so subservient to Lin Tian, like a loyal slave, she felt a strange pang of envy and jealousy.
Chapter 78: The main characters are completely dumbfounded! Healing Caitlin, controlling the frost!
Lin Tian ignored the shock of the crowd.
He walked up to him, carrying Captain Snider, who was being strangled like a chick, with a friendly smile on his face:
“Mr. Snitter, am I not? I’m quite interested in that freeze gun you have, and your friend’s flamethrower.”
"How about..." A cold glint flashed in Lin Tian's eyes, "that I borrow it to study?"
Seeing Lin Tian's devilish smile and the hand that gripped his fate, Snett was terrified! He dared not utter a single word of dissent!
All I could do was nod frantically!
"Very good." Lin Tian smiled with satisfaction.
Then, he applied slight pressure with his fingers.
Click!
A soft sound.
Snider's neck was twisted at an unnatural angle.
The light in his eyes was completely extinguished.
died? !
Barry Allen watched as Lin Tian so easily snapped a person's neck, without even a trace of emotion on his face! It was as if he had merely crushed an ant!
A chill instantly shot from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head!
This man is not only powerful, but also ruthless and cold-blooded! He treats human life like dirt!
"How could you kill him?!" Barry couldn't help but ask, his voice trembling slightly with anger and fear!
"Kill him?" Lin Tian seemed to have heard something funny. He casually threw Snider's body on the ground, turned to look at Barry, and revealed a mocking smile.
"Lightning Boy, aren't you being too naive?"
"Should we keep this kind of scum, who repeatedly refuses to change his ways and treats the law and human life with contempt, around for the New Year?"
"If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze. Do I really need to teach you this principle?"
“But,” Barry still wanted to argue, “he should be tried by the law! Not executed by you like this!”
"The law?" Lin Tian scoffed. "What use is the law to criminals with superhuman strength like them? Lock them up in Iron Mountain Prison? And then wait for them to escape again and continue their evil deeds?"
"Your 'mercy' will only bring greater disaster to this city! It will only cause more innocent people to be harmed!"
"It's better to resolve things cleanly once and for all than to leave them as a problem. That's the most efficient and also the most 'merciful' approach."
Lin Tian's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Barry's heart!
He couldn't refute it, yet he couldn't agree with it either!
Yes, criminals like Snider and Mick are indeed incorrigible, causing enormous trouble and casualties to Central City.
But does that mean we should deprive them of their right to live?
As a hero, shouldn't I be protecting everyone's life? Even criminals?
For the first time, Barry's conviction was violently shaken!
Looking at the powerful, cold-blooded man in front of him, who seemed to have his own set of "twisted logic," he felt that his worldview had been greatly impacted!
"Looks like you're still too young, Lightning Boy." Lin Tian shook his head, seemingly somewhat disappointed, as he looked at Barry's struggling and confused eyes.
He bent down and picked up the freeze gun and flamethrower from the ground.
These two weapons, crafted with cutting-edge technology from the Star Labs, contain extreme energies of ice and fire, which might be of some help to his research into the energy system of this world.
“Alright, we’ve got our ‘spoils,’ it’s time for us to go,” Lin Tian said to Wanda and Gwen beside him.
The two "queens" immediately and obediently walked to his side.
"Wait!" Barry instinctively tried to stop them from leaving.
But he had barely moved!
An invisible yet incredibly powerful mental pressure descended upon him instantly!
It felt like a mountain was pressing down on him! He couldn't move! Even his thinking became sluggish!
It's Lin Tian!
He completely suppressed me, a user of the Speed Force, with just a glance!
Barry's eyes were filled with horror!
Just how terrifying is this man's strength?!
Lin Tian ignored Barry Allen, who was frozen in place like a statue.
He embraced Wanda and Gwen, two "queens" with vastly different styles but equally stunning beauty, and they disappeared gracefully at the end of the street as if taking a stroll.
The battlefield was left in ruins, with two cold corpses and a Flash whose beliefs were greatly shaken and who was now in deep confusion.
Meanwhile, in the distant Star Labs, the Lightning Squad was also gripped by deathly silence and fear.
With a crushing victory and a series of insightful remarks, Lin Tian once again demonstrated his power and unpredictability to the world.
This made the rift between him and The Flash even wider.
But at the same time, it also made all the members of the Lightning Squad realize how terrifying he was.
And the coldness and ruthlessness hidden beneath his cynical exterior.
Lin Tian, along with his "Queens," appeared like ghosts in the city center, sometimes stirring up trouble, and sometimes disappearing without a trace, as if they had never existed.
Each of his appearances brought tremendous shock and psychological pressure to everyone in Star Labs, especially Caitlin Snow.
Caitlin witnessed firsthand the overwhelming strength of Lin Tian and his group.
Whether it was Wanda's chaotic magic that manipulated energy like a god, Gwen's terrifying Spider Queen form that combined darkness and allure, or Lin Tian's unfathomable power that could easily kill Captain Cold and Heatwave, all of them deeply shocked her and gave her an indescribable...longing.
She also witnessed Lin Tian's near-perfect control over energy.
Whether it's absorbing lightning or easily suppressing Barry's Speed Force, it shows that his understanding of the nature of energy has reached an unbelievable level.
This made Caitlin's desire to break free from the shadow of the Frost Killer and take control of her own power burn even more fiercely, like wildfire!
