Wang Yanshan slowly made his way home.
When he reached a secluded alley, he suddenly turned and disappeared into it.
After many twists and turns, he arrived at an even more remote corner.
In the corner stood several thugs and hooligans who looked sleazy and were skinny.
Upon seeing Wang Yanshan, a glint of greed flashed in their eyes.
A cold smile crept across Wang Yanshan's lips as he pulled a bag of silver from his pocket and weighed it in his hand.
He said to the leader of the thugs, "Keep a close eye on this family for me. If you do a good job, you'll all get your share of the money!"
The clinking of silver made the thugs' eyes widen.
The skinny leader immediately forced a fawning smile, stepped forward, and patted his chest:
"Sir! Just give the order! Our brothers have eyes and ears everywhere in Baihe County! Just keeping watch on people? That's easy! We'll take care of it perfectly for you!"
"Listen," Wang Yanshan said in a low, sinister voice.
"There's a large house near Mud Alley, owned by the Fang family. If you ask around, you should be able to find out its location."
"Don't touch that guy in their family named Fang Chen. He's too easy to be discovered, and it's too dangerous."
"But!" A fierce glint flashed in Wang Yanshan's eyes.
"You all need to keep a close eye on the rest of his family! Make sure you know exactly where they work and which alley they usually go to!"
"And what time he'll be back at noon and in the evening! I need to know all of that perfectly well!"
He weighed the money pouch in his hand and said sternly, "If you do a good job, there will be a reward later!"
Having said that, he tossed the money pouch over his shoulder.
The skinny monkey hurriedly caught it; it felt heavy in his hand, and his face immediately lit up with a smile. He said:
"Sir! You can rest assured! Leave this matter to us, and we'll handle it perfectly!"
Wang Yanshan gave a satisfied hum and turned to leave.
He took a few steps, a sinister look appearing on his face, and sneered inwardly.
" Fang Chen! I may not be able to touch you, but surely I can touch your family?!"
"Find a secluded place and kill your whole family! Then there'll be no way to prove anything, and we'll see how you investigate me!"
Imagining Fang Chen's heart-wrenching grief when facing the corpses of his loved ones,
A feeling of joy instantly welled up in Wang Yanshan's heart.
"Serves you right for repeatedly humiliating me! This is retribution! You deserve it!"
He couldn't help but let out a smug chuckle.
However,
Wang Yanshan's figure had just disappeared around the corner of the alley.
A figure suddenly emerged from the shadows in the corner; it was Fang Chen, who was following behind!
Fang Chen's eyes were icy cold, and he showed no hesitation whatsoever.
He moved with lightning speed, and in a few leaps, he pounced on the group of thugs who were still gleefully counting their money.
The punches were so fast they were breathtaking!
"Uh!" "Ah!"
Several short, muffled groans and the sound of bones cracking rang out simultaneously!
The smiles on the faces of those thugs hadn't even had time to freeze.
He was then struck hard in a vital spot by a fist containing terrifying power!
They collapsed to the ground like tattered sacks.
He died instantly, without even uttering a sound.
Fang Chen didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground, but bent down and picked up the bag of blood-stained silver.
He looked at the place where Wang Yanshan had left.
His figure once again transformed into a fleeting afterimage, chasing after the enemy with lightning speed!
Wang Yanshan was lost in his fantasies of revenge, his steps slow and deliberate.
Fang Chen quickly caught up with him in the alley behind him.
With a leap, Fang Chen swiftly closed in.
A punch was thrown out, tearing through the air and striking Wang Yanshan directly from behind!
Wang Yanshan suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him!
He turned around in horror, but only had time to see a blurry fist shadow.
"Bang!"
A heavy, muffled thud exploded!
Wang Yanshan felt as if his chest had been struck by a galloping horse, and his internal organs had shifted!
He flew backwards off the ground like a kite with a broken string.
It slammed hard against the blue brick wall at the end of the alley!
"Puff--!"
A mouthful of scalding hot blood gushed out.
Wang Yanshan collapsed to the ground, the excruciating pain causing his vision to blur.
He suddenly widened his eyes, staring intently at the person in front of him, his voice hoarse:
"You... how did you get here? Could it be that you've been following me?!"
Fang Chen did not answer, but flashed forward and approached again.
The second punch, the third punch...
The fists rained down like a storm!
Wang Yanshan struggled to block, but Fang Chen's strength was too terrifying, and he couldn't stop it at all!
His face showed some surprise:
"How is that possible! Your strength... how can it be even greater than when we sparred this morning?!"
Fang Chen snorted coldly.
"Of course, it was because I went easy on him this morning, you idiot!"
"What..." The shock had just surfaced on Wang Yanshan's face when
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Fang Chen's fist slammed hard into his forehead!
Wang Yanshan's eyes suddenly bulged out, and the crisp sound of his forehead bone cracking could be clearly heard.
The red food instantly splattered everywhere.
After a few punches, that fierce and ruthless face was completely deformed.
Wang Yanshan was no longer recognizable as human; he had completely disappeared without a trace.
Fang Chen withdrew his fist and stood still, coldly glancing at Wang Yanshan's corpse, and spat:
"I only came here to teach you a lesson, but you insisted on courting death!"
He didn't linger; with a swift movement, he disappeared into the deep alley.
Fang Chen found a small path and came to the riverbank, carefully washing the bloodstains off his hands and clothes.
Only after confirming there were no more traces did he tidy his clothes and return to his wife's house.
Pushing open the door, I arrived at the place to eat.
The aroma of the food wafted over.
The father's and elder sister's concerned gazes, and the steaming bowls and plates on the table, instantly dispelled the chilling murderous intent from before.
"You're back? Come and eat, we've been waiting for you for ages," Fang Ting said with a smile.
Fang Chen's face immediately lit up with a smile, "Yes, you're back."
He sat at the table, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and savored the peace.
However, deep down, Fang Chen was also reminding himself:
Only by becoming stronger and possessing more power can we forever safeguard this hard-won peace before us!
"Tonight, I will break through to the Sinew and Bone Realm!"
