Intense Battle
After a month, the alley outside his house felt much stranger to Lin Yan.
As soon as he entered the alley, Lin Yan saw a group of people blocking the entrance of Uncle Wang’s house. They were whispering softly to each other, and cries of grievance and despair could be heard from the gaps in the crowd.
It sounded like Aunt Wang’s voice.
Lin Yan ignored her and prepared to enter his house.
Someone in the crowd shouted, “Third Sister-in-law, Brother Wang has been gone for seven days. It’s time for us to prepare Brother Wang’s funeral.”
“That’s right. Brother Wang didn’t enjoy much when he was alive. Now that he’s dead, he should at least enjoy some glory. What do you think?”
“We’ve all checked the date before. Today is the best day. I’ll also find a good caterer for this funeral. Let’s start today.”
“That’s right. We can’t be sloppy about Uncle Wang’s funeral. It has to be glorious!”
Lin Yan stopped in his tracks. Uncle Wang is dead?
‘How did he die?’
“Get lost! Get lost! Old Wang’s corpse is not cold yet. It’s fine if you don’t avenge him, but you still want to take advantage of us! Damn it! Damn it!”
Aunt Wang cried and cried, but her voice was filled with fear.
Lin Yan had also heard of this situation.
When the man of a family died, his clansman would come to bully the child and the widow, forcing them to hold a banquet every day until they ate up all the possessions he had left.
There were low whispers in the crowd.
“Pfft! What kind of person is she? We’re helping Brother Wang with his funeral out of goodwill, and now she’s slandering us?”
“That’s right. I heard that gangs seek revenge by exterminating an entire family. Who knows how she survived?”
“Yes, yes, yes. She must have slept with them in exchange for her life. What right does she have to inherit Uncle Wang’s possessions?”
“I wonder what the appetite of the Black Tiger Gang’s brats is. They can even eat such an old thing…”
The topic quickly shifted to Aunt Wang’s chastity. No matter how Aunt Wang scolded and defended herself, everyone refused to leave. Instead, they became even more enthusiastic.
Lin Yan stopped in his tracks. Black Tiger Gang?
Was it someone from the Black Tiger Gang who killed Uncle Wang?
It had been almost a month, and Lin Yan had almost forgotten the name of the Black Tiger Gang. However, when he heard it now, the scene of poisoning and killing people and dumping corpses at night appeared again.
“Why did the Black Tiger Gang kill Uncle Wang?”
After taking a few steps, he arrived at his door. Lin Yan’s pupils constricted. His door had been pried open!
The wooden door opened. Lin Yan walked to the door and took a look. His breathing suddenly tightened, and a fire burned in his heart.
The room was in a mess.
The stove had been broken by someone, and the bed had been shattered. Clothes fragments and pots and pans were scattered all over the ground.
There was also a large patch of black and yellow feces and urine on the ground in the inner room. It was mixed in with the yellow cloth fragments on the ground. It was very disgusting.
As for the bedding, he definitely could not get it. All the clothes and bedding had been torn apart and scattered on the ground in the pile of feces and urine…
Lin Yan reached out and slowly closed the door. He felt as if all the blood in his body was boiling, and uncontrollable anger flowed throughout his body.
‘Who did it?’
Thinking of Uncle Wang’s death, Lin Yan vaguely guessed that the Black Tiger Gang had come looking for him.
He turned to leave.
“Kid, wait!”
Suddenly, he heard someone shout behind him. Lin Yan turned his head. The person who shouted was one of the relatives surrounding Uncle Wang’s door. He was dark and strong, and he was taller than Lin Yan.
He took two steps forward and looked down. “You live here, right? Then you can’t leave.”
Lin Yan said coldly, “Who are you?”
The dark-skinned man didn’t answer. He turned around and shouted, “Auntie Wang, look. Isn’t this the Lin Yan you mentioned?”
The crowd moved aside. Aunt Wang, who looked haggard and had lost a lot of weight, was sitting on the ground.
When she saw Lin Yan, Aunt Wang was shocked. She pointed at him and screamed, “It’s him! It’s him! He was the one who provoked the Black Tiger Gang and caused Old Wang’s death! Damn Lin Yan!”
The coldness in Lin Yan’s eyes intensified, and the uncontrollable anger in his heart made his face turn ferocious for a moment. It instantly reminded Aunt Wang of the terrifying scene of the cold night and the ghost hand. Her scream seemed to be choked.
The dark-skinned man stepped between the two of them. “You’re just bluffing. You can’t leave. My Brother Wang can’t die for no reason. You have to give an explanation.”
Lin Yan glanced at everyone and turned to leave.
“F*ck, you don’t understand human language!”
The dark and muscular man reached out to grab Lin Yan’s shoulder.
Before the man’s hand touched his shoulder, Lin Yan suddenly turned around. His left hand turned into a tiger claw, and his finger bones were like steel. He grabbed the dark-skinned man’s wrist and suddenly swung his right hand horizontally like a swinging iron rod. With the help of his back, he twisted his strength and swung his arm like an ape. The force was astonishing as he ruthlessly smashed into the dark-skinned man’s cheek.
Bang!
The man’s head suddenly tilted, and his eyes instantly rolled back. He flipped sideways in the air like a straight log and fell heavily to the ground.
This time, Lin Yan attacked in anger. He punched the dark-skinned man, who fainted on the ground, blood oozing from his mouth and nose.
He slightly exhaled the anger in his stomach. His eyes were filled with anger as he glanced around. The group of people surrounding Uncle Wang’s door took a step back. Aunt Wang’s eyes were filled with fear as her entire body trembled.
He turned around and walked towards the entrance of the alley.
Suddenly, three people walked into the alley in small steps. A short man led the two burly men behind him.
“It’s him! Master Liu, he’s Lin Yan!”
The short man pointed at Lin Yan and shouted.
The two brawny men laughed sinisterly. “You’re the one who killed Hu Biao, right? How dare you harm our Black Tiger Gang? You must have eaten a bear’s heart and leopard’s gall!”
Lin Yan’s heart sank slightly. They must have gotten someone to call for help when he pushed open the door to observe the situation inside.
He had not learned the true martial arts methods at all. He would definitely be at a disadvantage if he fought one against two.
He glanced left and right. In the corner of the alley on the left, there was a pile of rotten firewood with a lot of food residue on it. There was also a clothes drying pole that had not been retreated.
The burly man saw his actions and thought that he was looking for an opportunity to escape. His companions and he split into two sides and blocked the passageway. With a sinister smile, he said, “Don’t even think about escaping. You won’t be able to hide today. Kid, you took the money that Hu Biao carried with him, right? Hand it over obediently and we’ll give you a quick death so that you won’t suffer any physical pain.”
No wonder they were chasing him relentlessly. It was because of money.
Lin Yan’s mind raced. He took out two taels of silver from his pocket and shook it in his hand. “It’s all here. I spent the rest.”
“F*ck! Hu Biao has at least five taels of silver. How long has it been, and you’ve already spent so much…”
Lin Yan raised his arm and suddenly threw the silver high. “Here you go!”
The two burly men subconsciously looked up.
Lin Yan took the opportunity to take a step forward and arrive beside the rotting firewood. He raised his leg and kicked the rotting firewood. The firewood fragments mixed with rotten vegetable leaves scattered all over the sky and flew towards the burly man on the right.
The expression of the burly man on the right changed. He hurriedly raised his hand to block and retreat. As he retreated, he shouted, “Block him! Don’t let him escape!”
Lin Yan didn’t think of running at all. He picked up the drying rod on the wall, took two steps forward, and threw it fiercely at the burly man on the left.
He had never learned any staff techniques and relied purely on brute force to smash the rod like a hidden weapon. The wind whistled terrifyingly. The burly man on the left hurriedly jumped to the right and dodged the rod.
In the next moment, a figure suddenly enlarged in front of him. It was like a ferocious tiger that pounced out, or a huge bear that ran like thunder. It carried an indomitable ferocious aura as it tore through the air and collided fiercely with him.
Tiger Form: Tiger Pounce! Bear Form: Bear Leaning!
The burly man’s expression changed drastically. Was this a martial artist? How could he be so fast!
He wanted to overlap his hands to defend, but Lin Yan had already approached. Lin Yan’s body shook violently. Bear Form: Bear Passing!
He circulated his strength and shook the man’s hands away. All the kinetic energy he threw out shot out through his shoulders and directly hit his enemy’s chest!
BANG!
The burly man felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his heartbeat and breathing stopped for a moment. His head suddenly became empty, and he was unconsciously sent flying ten feet back.
“Old Liu!”
In the blink of an eye, the burly man on the right had just dodged the items that filled the sky when he saw the burly man on the left fly out and roll on the ground unconscious.
The burly man was furious and shouted, “I’ll beat you to death!”
He waved his fists and was about to rush forward.
However, Lin Yan had already picked up the clothes drying rod on the ground. He held the rod in his right hand and swept it at the burly man’s chest.
He originally wanted to aim at the burly man’s head, but he was worried that his aim would not be accurate, so he could only aim at the burly man’s chest.
The burly man raised his hand and clamped the drying rod under his armpit. He grabbed the drying rod and approached Lin Yan. “F*ck! I’ll kill you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yan released his right hand and swung his left hand, which was hidden behind his back. Another ball of rotten vegetable leaves flew towards the man’s face and covered his head.
“F*ck! Despicable…” The burly man subconsciously closed his eyes.
Then, a strong wind approached. A hand that was like a steel claw grabbed his arm. Immediately after, another hand grabbed his throat and pressed him against the wall.
“Let go, let go…”
One of the burly man’s hands was locked, and his throat was grabbed. His entire face was purple and red. His body kept struggling and twisting. Finally, he freed his other hand from the wall and punched Lin Yan’s face.
Lin Yan’s expression changed as he bent his right arm to block the fist. Then, he swept the burly man to the ground and changed his hand. He used his arm to form a cross from behind and locked the burly man’s neck, holding him firmly in front of him.
The burly man completely lost the chance to counterattack. He bent his arm and struck backwards, but he was unable to exert strength. His strike on Lin Yan’s chest was neither painful nor itchy.
As his arms gradually tightened, the burly man’s face turned from purple to black. It swelled up, and the strength in his hands decreased.
He grabbed at Uncle Wang’s relatives with both hands and shouted silently, “Save me, save…”
However, the group of people had already retreated far away. Their faces were filled with fear and they did not dare to come up at all.
The burly man’s movements became smaller and smaller. His eyes were so red that they looked like they were about to explode. In the end, he stopped moving.
Lin Yan loosened his grip and put down the burly man. He immediately punched the burly man’s throat three to four times, causing his neck to cave in. Then, he hurriedly stood up, picked up the clothes drying pole on the ground, and ran towards the other burly man.
The force of his collision just now was not weak, but at most, he had knocked the man out of breath. He could not kill the man at all.
As expected, the other burly man coughed and woke up. When he saw Lin Yan holding the clothes drying pole, he struggled in fear and tried to get up.
“Spare me, spare me, I was wrong, I was really wrong…”
The burly man pushed himself back and begged for mercy in fear.
Lin Yan didn’t say a word. He caught up in a few steps, raised the clothes drying pole, and smashed it down on the burly man’s head.
“Ah!!!”
This hit the burly man’s shoulder, causing him to scream in pain.
However, the clothes drying pole smashed down again, mercilessly hitting the burly man’s face, directly suppressing his scream.
One after another, the burly man was smashed until his head was bleeding. His screams became softer and softer, and bright red blood flowed all over the ground as if it was free.
Seeing that the burly man was silent, Lin Yan was still worried.
Looking left and right, he picked up a large rock at the side of the alley and smashed his head and dented it. Only then did he heave a long sigh of relief.
Turning around, he saw that Uncle Wang’s relatives had already hidden in his house. Even the door was tightly shut. A few eyes could be seen through the crack of the door, all of which reflected the extreme fear of trembling.
Lin Yan didn’t dare to stay any longer. He quickly searched the two burly men and picked up the two taels of silver he had just thrown out. Without looking back, he quickly left.
