Chapter 15: The Bandits of Mount Pangu
"That's right, everything will be decided by Big Brother!"; It was clear that the other six were deeply shocked by Big Brother's words. That's right, we would rather stay in the underworld and endure a thousand years of suffering than to reincarnate. What for? Isn't it so that one day we can use our own hands to make up for the regret of a thousand years ago?
"Alright, since everyone has already made up their minds, what are we waiting for?" The red-clothed big brother swept his six siblings with an extremely majestic gaze, then transformed into a red light and sped off towards a certain corner of the world.
The remaining six people exchanged a glance, then transformed into orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple six rays of light, rushing away in different directions.
"What's going on? What's happening?" Xiao Chen slowly collapsed onto the cold and muddy ground, his back already drenched with the cold sweat of fear.
The bloody scene of the previous slaughter made Xiao Chen, who had always lived in a peaceful world, almost unbearable. As for the next scene, although it was not as bloody, but more beautiful. However, this scene brought Xiao Chen a sense of fear that far surpassed the first one. It was just the aura emanating from the seven people's bodies that already made Xiao Chen breathless.
"A thousand-year-old wandering soul escaped from the underworld!" Xiao Chen didn't know why such words came out of his mouth, and he didn't know why such a strange scene suddenly appeared in his mind. But deep down, he had an intuition that one day he would meet these seven people, and it was very likely that they would engage in a fierce battle.
Will I be their opponent?
Xiao Chen, who was on the verge of collapse, had no idea that in the cell next door, a group of people were also being held captive. This group of people were the ruthless and cruel villains described in his previous life's TV shows, who could kill without batting an eye. However, in those TV shows, it was all just acting. But now, they were real. And at this moment, Xiao Chen had no idea that a shocking event was about to unfold soon.
The people locked up in the adjacent cell were none other than the strong men from Panshan Mountain. At this time, in that equally dark and damp place, there were several people scattered about. These people had different shapes and sizes, some standing, some lying down, and some sitting, all different. The only commonality among these people was that they were physically robust and had a fierce glint in their eyes. Among these people, one person stood out particularly, his height and build far surpassing those of ordinary people by more than just a little.
This man's upper body was bare, with scars all over his face, and a shiny bald head. His entire body was covered in gruesome wounds. Indeed, this man was Ma Yidao, the notorious strongman from Panshan Mountain, along with his few henchmen who had been captured. At this moment, Ma Yidao was extremely regretful, having only intended to take a stroll around Jiaoyuan County Town. Due to the town's small size and for ease of movement, Ma Yidao hadn't brought many people with him. But he never could have imagined that Li Fang, the county magistrate of Jiaoyuan, would dare to slap a tiger on its head. And due to his momentary carelessness, he had ended up trapped in prison.
"Who would have thought that I, Laozi, would also be locked up in this place? It's really damn unlucky!" Ma Yidao stroked his shiny bald head and sneered, "Except for the decent food here, everything else is damn terrible."
"We're all going to be beheaded, these meals are our last suppers. The food is naturally not good." A man lying on the ground with a worried expression said, "Yi Dao Ge, although you were caught off guard this time, I know that this prison can't hold you. Why don't you take us and escape? Are we just going to wait here to be slaughtered?"
"Not bad, with my ability, this place can't hold me at all." Ma Yidao said calmly, "But if I escape like this, it will be spread out and ridiculed by the world. Of course, I want to get out of here, but I have to walk out of here with dignity and glory."
"Zhao Zhe, actually you don't have to worry at all." Ma Yidao immediately smiled with a flushed face, "We've been locked up here for several days already, I'm sure Big Brother has also noticed. I think, with Big Brother's righteous character, he will definitely come looking for us. At that time, we'll join forces with Big Brother and bathe Jiayuan County in blood. I want to let the whole world know what kind of fate awaits those who offend me, Panshan."
"That's great!" Zhao Zhe was overjoyed. Good, we will bathe Jiayuan County in blood. We will let the world know that those who offend me, Panshan, will not have a good end.
"What should I do? What should I do?" After resting for a while, Xiao Chen's inner fear finally dissipated a little, but the worried look on his face remained. An eye for an eye! This phrase kept echoing in Xiao Chen's mind. Although the dungeon was damp and cold, Xiao Chen's whole body was drenched with sweat. He was still so young, with a bright future ahead of him. He couldn't just die like this.
"I want to get out, let me out quickly!" Xiao Chen shouted frantically. He clenched his right fist tightly and punched the wall with all his might. I want to get out, I want to get out. But the thick wall didn't budge, still standing there, still mocking this nearly mad person.
"I want to get out, I want to get out!" Xiao Chen desperately struggled again and again. His cries for help echoed far, far away. Outside the dungeon, the guards also heard them.
"Idiot!" However, even after hearing Xiao Chen's frantic cries, they merely shrugged slightly. After all, this kind of thing was nothing new to them.
"I want to get out, I want to get out!" Xiao Chen desperately pounded on the detestable wall. Damn it, why do you want to cut off my last thread of hope for survival? I want to get out, I don't want to die. Just as Xiao Chen was about to go crazy, he suddenly felt his heart beating more violently, and the blood flowing through his body accelerated rapidly, his body slowly becoming scorching hot. This feeling is really unbearable, so unbearable!
Xiao Chen let out a loud roar, clenching his right fist and slamming it into the wall. A deafening crash shook the air as dust and debris scattered everywhere. The originally thick and sturdy wall had been punched through by Xiao Chen's single fist, creating a hole as tall as a person. What was going on? Xiao Chen was stunned by this unexpected turn of events.
Xiao Chen, who had already temporarily sealed away some memories, couldn't remember them anymore. This was the magical effect of the new body given to him by Cui Panguan. This magical body, which possessed a heart ten times stronger than that of ordinary people, also provided Xiao Chen with strength ten times greater than that of ordinary people.
"Who are you?" Ma Yidao was also shocked, staring at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him. Ma Yidao carefully sized up Xiao Chen from head to toe. Indeed, this kid didn't look bad and would be a hit with girls wherever he went. But with this physique, he had the strength to kick down a wall, which was truly eye-opening. It's likely that in terms of strength alone, this kid was already on par with him.
"Who are you?" Xiao Chen asked tremulously, staring at the few fierce-looking men in front of him.
"We are also prisoners here, just like you. Kid, you're quite impressive!" Ma Yidao smiled and patted Xiao Chen's shoulder, "Are you interested in becoming my subordinate?" With Xiao Chen having strength that was no less than his own, Ma Yidao suddenly had the intention of recruiting him.
The sky had gradually darkened, and the bustling county town had slowly returned to calm. After a day of hustle and bustle, almost everyone in the small town had already entered a sweet dreamland. However, Li Fang, who was in the county government office, always felt a little strange, as if he could sense that something was about to happen. But the small town remained peaceful and serene, without any signs that anything big was about to occur.
"Maybe I'm just too tense! Maybe a good night's sleep will fix everything!" Li Fang smiled and was about to go to bed. But just then, the sound of disheveled footsteps came from outside the door. Next, a disheveled man with a sweaty head stumbled in. This person was none other than Wang, the class leader.
"Wang Bantou, why are you so flustered and disheveled? What kind of appearance is this?" Li's face showed displeasure at the sight.
"Old master, something terrible has happened! The bandits from Panshan Mountain have broken in!" Wang Ban's face was full of terror.
"The bandits of Panshan Mountain dare to kill their way into the county town? Have they eaten leopard gall? Wang Bantou, this kind of joke can't be made lightly." Li Fang's face sank.
"My good fellow, what's the time now? Are you still doubting my words? Come with me and take a look, then you'll know!" At this point, Wang Bandui was anxious. He took a step forward, grabbed Li Fang's sleeve and pulled him out, completely disregarding the difference in their social status.
Li Fang, who was dragged out of the county government gate, was stunned by what he saw before him. The originally pitch-black county town was now ablaze everywhere, shining brightly like daytime, with countless people running around in all directions. The sounds of killing, wailing, crying and laughter filled his ears incessantly.
"Wang Ban-tou, quickly, hurry and gather the brothers." Li Fang finally understood what he should do.
At the gate of Jiayuan County, more than a dozen corpses with missing arms and legs were scattered all over the cold ground. The blood that had long since cooled and congealed had stained the ground beneath them a deep purple-black color. Amidst these chaotic piles of bodies, two men on horseback were gesturing and pointing, occasionally bursting into hearty laughter.
One of the men, short and stout, with a sparse beard, was now squinting his small eyes, his face full of fawning smiles. "Hong Da, these ignorant fools actually dare to be enemies with me, Panshan Mountain? They simply don't know how to live!"
"That's right, Wei Jun Shi, I want everyone here to know what it means to be an enemy of Panlong Mountain." This was a robust and burly man with a pale complexion. The full name of the master of the Hong family was Hong Feng, also the leader of the Panlong Mountain gang. He had been furious when he learned that his brother Ma Yidao had been caught by Li Fang, the county magistrate of Jiayuan County. A small county magistrate dared to do such a thing without knowing the height of heaven and earth. It seemed that he had been too kind in the past, so much so that even stray cats and dogs dared to ride on his head.
I will bathe Jiayuan County in blood, I want all people under the sky to know the consequences of offending the heroes of Panshan Mountain.
As for the military strategist of the Wei army, his name is Wei Dezong, and he is currently the military strategist of this group of strongmen in Panshan Mountain. Although his name sounds impressive, I can tell you clearly that this guy, apart from being a little clever, has no virtue to speak of. As for loyalty, it's not even worth mentioning.
