Elsewhere.

Inside Jiang Bei's barracks.

A man standing watch at the door wore a face full of worry, constantly glancing from side to side. At last, he could not help but call softly into the room, "Brother Teng, we should get out of here! Guo Xiu Yong just said the Battalion Commander and Jiang Bei seem to have returned. What if..."

"What if? What is there to fear?"

Wang Teng turned around, a cold smile hanging from the corner of his lips, savage light blazing in his eyes. "So what if they returned? Today, no matter what, I'm taking this little wench! These past days have nearly suffocated me! As for Jiang Bei... he's just trash who picked up a life in the Death Squad Camp. If he came back, it was probably because he stepped in dog shit. Even if I lent him ten times the courage, what could he possibly do to me?!"

"I'm a dignified Ninth Rank Great Training Platoon Leader! If he dares come, I'll break his legs and make him kneel nearby while he watches me have my fun! Hahaha!!"

Wang Teng let out a burst of wild laughter, then abruptly turned his head, his greedy gaze pressing toward the trembling graceful figure in the corner.

He impatiently stretched out both hands and approached with a lecherous grin. "Yu Rou, my precious sweetheart, don't be stupid. Be good and submit to me. Let Brother Teng cherish you properly!"

"Don't come closer! If you take another step... I'll kill myself!"

Yu Rou held a pair of scissors to her throat, trembling all over. Tears had long since covered her face, and her eyes were crimson.

"What are you being so stubborn for? I came looking for you so many times before, yet you refused to submit. You insisted on waiting for that piece of trash to return. Now that he's back, so what? You'd be better off following me!"

Wang Teng grinned viciously as he advanced step by step.

"I... my husband has returned. He... he definitely won't let you off!"

Yu Rou's voice trembled.

"Won't let me off? What a huge joke! What can a piece of trash who just became Ranked do to me? Today, whether you want it or not, I'm having you!"

Wang Teng laughed loudly and suddenly reached out to grab Yu Rou.

Bang—!

Yet at that moment, a tremendous crash suddenly sounded behind him.

Wang Teng spun around sharply and saw the subordinate keeping watch get blasted into the room like a torn sack, slamming heavily down before him.

His entire face had been smashed inward by a single punch, leaving him utterly unrecognizable and drenched in blood!

"Who?! You've got some nerve!"

Wang Teng's pupils contracted as rage erupted from him in a roar.

The next moment, a figure stepped over the shattered threshold and entered with an icy bearing.

There was no expression on the newcomer's face, but his eyes were cold enough to feel tangible. His killing intent had nearly condensed into frost, spreading through the entire barracks and making the temperature plummet.

"Husband!!"

Seeing him, Yu Rou seemed to have grasped a lifeline. She tried to rush over, only for Wang Teng to block her with one arm.

"Jiang Bei? So it was you, you piece of trash. Who gave you the guts to injure my man?"

Wang Teng froze for a moment before curling his lips into a mocking sneer. He glanced at Yu Rou behind him and said contemptuously, "You rushed here in such a hurry. Looks like you treasure Yu Rou dearly. Unfortunately, today, I, Wang Teng, am taking her. I'd like to see what you..."

Boom!!

Before he could finish, an explosive sound like thunder detonated.

Jiang Bei's body nearly became a streak of light as he charged forward. Not a single word of nonsense, not half an ounce of superfluous emotion—only the fury and killing intent in his eyes, surging and boiling!

Wang Teng's eyes flew wide open.

Before he could make his next move.

Jiang Bei had already grabbed his head and smashed it viciously toward the ground—

Boom!!!

The ground shook violently, cracks spreading like a spiderweb.

Wang Teng's face was driven straight into the earth by the sudden blow, blood spraying wildly.

But it did not end there. Jiang Bei raised his fist and, without the slightest mercy, furiously hammered Wang Teng's head, back, and every vital point.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Punch after punch.

Every punch that landed made the entire barracks tremble.

Wang Teng was like a dead dog, utterly unable to resist. The flesh and blood across his body continuously burst apart, while shards of bone pierced through his skin and jutted out, blood pouring without end!

Whether he wanted to resist or beg for mercy.

At this moment, he could not do either in the slightest!

No one knew what was going through his mind at that moment.

But everyone knew that the man Wang Teng had just called a piece of trash who had returned from the Death Squad Camp and was, at most, merely Ranked, was beating him into a dead dog without even giving him the slightest chance to resist!

Yu Rou covered her mouth in shock, her eyes wide. An indescribable wave of emotion surged through her heart. Yet she found it even harder to believe that her husband had already become this powerful!

During this period, Wang Teng had repeatedly come to harass her. Though she fought desperately every time and had never let him succeed, she had always feared making the matter public.

She understood her own situation.

In the Ren-Rank Camp, she was merely a female prisoner bearing guilt.

With her husband absent, Wang Teng, as a Platoon Leader, was the sky above her head.

She did not dare offend him. She feared both drawing even more vicious retaliation and implicating Jiang Bei...

Yet now, this Platoon Leader was being beaten like livestock before her husband, utterly powerless to fight back.

It was as though her husband did not regard the status of a Platoon Leader as worth anything at all.

Such a scene was something she had never even dared to imagine before!

Elsewhere, the subordinate responsible for keeping watch, whom Jiang Bei had sent flying with one punch, was now struggling to crawl up from the ground. All his teeth had been shattered, and blood mixed with saliva dribbled from the corners of his mouth.

But when he looked up and saw Wang Teng being brutally crushed by Jiang Bei, his legs went limp, and he nearly dropped to his knees.

Brother Teng, a Ninth Rank Great Training expert... was actually being beaten by Jiang Bei without any ability to fight back?

This... how was this possible?!

Just how powerful was Jiang Bei?

That punch had come too fast. He had not even seen his attacker's face clearly.

Only after he was knocked flying and hit the ground did he recognize Jiang Bei. At that moment, he had still held onto a sliver of hope, believing Wang Teng would surely avenge him.

Who could have imagined... Wang Teng's fate would be even worse than his!

"Husband... I... I'm fine. He is a Platoon Leader, after all..."

Yu Rou tried to persuade him. If Jiang Bei kept beating him like this, she truly feared a life would be lost.

If Jiang Bei killed a Platoon Leader, he would definitely receive severe punishment. She did not want anything to happen to him.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you do not lose it next time.

"Forget a Platoon Leader—even if he were a Squad Leader, I'd kill him today!"

Jiang Bei growled, icy killing intent seeping from every word.

His fists continued to whistle down like a raging storm.

They battered Wang Teng's flesh and blood until it twisted together like a lump of dough.

His face was also yanked from the ground by Jiang Bei several times and beaten savagely, left utterly unrecognizable and barely human!

Outside the barracks.

Many soldiers soon gathered to watch the commotion.

Upon witnessing this scene, every one of them was dumbfounded.

"Th-this is Jiang Bei? Who is he beating?"

"Who else could it be? Wang Teng from Ninth Squad!"

"Wang Teng? He's a Platoon Leader! Has Jiang Bei gone mad? A common soldier beating a Platoon Leader, and beating him into this state!"

"From what I know, Wang Teng has been harassing Jiang Bei's wife all this time. Jiang Bei has completely snapped. But the most puzzling thing is... how is he so strong?"

"Wang Teng is a Ninth Rank Great Training Platoon Leader, yet he can't put up the slightest resistance against him?"

The entrance filled with exclamations.

Everyone was stunned by the scene before them.

Guo Xiu Yong also squeezed through the crowd to the front and was likewise shocked when he saw what was happening.

He had rushed over because he had been worried Jiang Bei might act on impulse and fight Wang Teng.

After all, Wang Teng was a Ninth Rank Great Training expert. How could Jiang Bei possibly be his match?

Yet not only had they fought, Jiang Bei had actually beaten Wang Teng until he could not get up!

"Jiang Bei! Stop now! If you keep going, someone will really die!"

Guo Xiu Yong hurried forward to stop him.

Yet Jiang Bei suddenly lifted Wang Teng's entire body.

By now, Wang Teng's face had completely collapsed, and he was barely clinging to life.

He forced open his swollen eyes, looked at Jiang Bei, and rasped with the last trace of strength he possessed, "You... are... dead..."

Bang!

Before Wang Teng could finish.

Jiang Bei directly flung his entire body away.

His body smashed through the window and crashed heavily onto the open ground outside.

His head struck the ground and burst apart like a watermelon, blood splattering everywhere.

He died on the spot!

"M-murder!"

"Jiang Bei killed Wang Teng!"

The soldiers' expressions changed drastically at the sight.

They had not expected Jiang Bei to be so ruthless.

He had actually killed Wang Teng on the spot inside the camp!

"Husband!"

Yu Rou was also startled. She hurried to Jiang Bei's side, tightly hugged his arm, and said in a trembling voice, "Husband, let's run... It's all my fault. I dragged you into this."

Jiang Bei had killed Wang Teng for her. Severe punishment from the military camp would surely follow.

Her heart was filled with guilt.

"Don't be afraid. We'll talk after I report the matter to the Battalion Commander. If something like this happens again, don't keep it hidden in your heart alone. Tell me. I'll handle it."

Jiang Bei gently stroked her hair, his voice steady.

Yu Rou leaned into the crook of his arm, her eyes reddened as she nodded again and again.

Jiang Bei turned to look at Wang Teng's corpse outside the window, without the slightest regret in his eyes.

He had long sworn in his heart that if that beast committed another offense, he would make him pay a painful price.

He had always repaid every grievance, down to the smallest slight.

Cross him, and that would not do. Cross Little Rou, and that would be even less acceptable!

No matter who it was, he would not let them off!

"Wait here for me. I'll go find the Battalion Commander first."

Jiang Bei spoke softly to Yu Rou.

Then he directly walked out of the barracks.

Seeing this, the soldiers hurriedly stepped aside one after another.

Previously, in their eyes, Jiang Bei had merely been someone exiled to the Death Squad Camp. Some had even privately mocked him because he had failed to produce offspring for a year.

Yet after witnessing everything that had just happened.

Each of them made way faster than the last. They hardly dared meet Jiang Bei's eyes, as though they were looking at a god of slaughter.

They feared that if Jiang Bei was in a bad mood the next instant, he would casually swat them to death.

Guo Xiu Yong hurriedly followed, saying worriedly, "Jiang Bei, you acted too impulsively! Wang Teng truly deserved to die, but you killed someone directly in the military camp. It drew too much attention. You should have left him for the Battalion Commander to punish! Especially Wang Teng's Squad Leader, Xue Long—he's extremely protective of his own people and thinks highly of Wang Teng. He definitely won't let you off!"

"Xue Long? What is his strength?"

Jiang Bei asked as he walked.

"He broke through to Eighth Rank Minor Training years ago. His strength is on par with our Squad Leader Liu Kui's."

Guo Xiu Yong explained.

"Is that so? He'd better not come looking for trouble. Otherwise... I'll beat him too!"

Jiang Bei said coldly.

Guo Xiu Yong's mind buzzed with a boom, and he felt as though he were dreaming.

What had he just heard?

Jiang Bei had actually said that he would beat even Xue Long?!
