Chapter 549: Chapter 532: I Support You

The two clinked their glasses gently, and Ye Chen tilted his head back to drink the sip. Suddenly, he found the wine exceptionally spicy and burning to the throat. At that moment, Ye Chen had completely lost the desire to drink. Instead, he was thinking about how to avenge his father.

"Little Yezi, you must remember, never let hatred blind your eyes!" Elder Pang patted Ye Chen’s shoulder and said, "A real man should know when to hold on and when to let go. Although the Church Court is detestable, first and foremost, you must build your strength, then gradually expand and nibble away at the Church Court’s territories!"

"Mmm!" Ye Chen nodded.

"Remember, I’ve got your back," Elder Pang laughed heartily.

"Thank you, Elder Pang!" Ye Chen bowed respectfully.

"Thank me my ass, I see you as my grandson!" Elder Pang laughed again. "If you have a chance, just call me Grandpa Pang!"

"Uh..." Ye Chen paused, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I’m still used to calling you Commander Pang."

Then, the two raised their glasses, and they drank the afternoon away.

At the He Family, the weapons had been distributed. Those who had underperformed or hadn’t received firearms watched their comrades rubbing their guns, each person meticulously disassembling their gun into pieces, and with a cloth, cleaned every part spotlessly, afraid that even a speck of dust would tarnish their weapon.

Indeed, this was a warrior’s habit; as a warrior, loving your gun should be like loving your wife.

"Tie Niu, haha," Liu the Tyrant, holding a carbine and grinning broadly, said, "How about it? Feels good, right?"

"So-so!" Li Tieniu held a cigarette in his mouth and a gun in hand. Within seconds, he had dismantled a rifle into pieces and slowly polished it. After all, since it was a new gun, it needed some time to break in, just like a new car needs time to adjust. In the beginning, you shouldn’t fire too rapidly, or it might malfunction.

Li Tieniu’s posture was very stylish, catching the attention of those around him. Shit, that speed of disassembling and that style of cleaning the gun really set him apart. Just now, Li Tieniu had earned resounding applause with a score of one hundred rings, and Liu the Tyrant was also impressive with ninety-nine rings. To get a gun, the lowest score had to be ninety-five. Scoring high was also a way of earning acceptance from their peers.

"Fuck, what more do you want in a gun?" Liu the Tyrant, puzzled as he disassembled and cleaned his own gun, asked.

The gang from the Heavenly Reversal Gang soon mingled with the He Family guards. Just in the recent gun-snatching contest, the event nearly split in two, with the Heavenly Reversal Gang and He Family guards competing, each trying to best the other’s shooting accuracy and speed. Although the Heavenly Reversal Gang ultimately won, the He Family guards were rather magnanimous, still chatting and joking with the gang.

"You guys think, can we successfully ambush the Fierce Tiger Gang tonight?" Jiang Wei, who hadn’t received a gun, could only hold a bright machete, sharpening it fervently as if going to bat without a gun didn’t place him at a disadvantage. Who says someone without a gun is worse off? Maybe if I go into battle wielding this machete, I can still kill dozens.

"You?" Li Tieniu glanced at Jiang Wei disdainfully and said, "You’re proud of hitting fifty-nine rings? Just don’t rush ahead later, stick close behind me, I’ll protect you!"

"Nonsense, do I need your protection?" Jiang Wei immediately stood up, brandishing his machete and glaring at Li Tieniu: "You might be accurate with a gun, but my knife skills are just as good!"

"Haha, you, not even fully grown!" Li Tieniu instantly touched his bearded chin and said, "Strip down and show everyone!"

Jiang Wei was indeed the youngest and the least skilled among the Eight Hidden Generals. However, his strength lay in his willpower; he could persevere towards a goal relentlessly. Li Tieniu’s words deeply wounded Jiang Wei’s pride. Narrowing his eyes, Jiang Wei threw his machete in front of Li Tieniu and said, "You must apologize to me, or else, fight me, and whoever loses is the one who isn’t fully grown!"

"Yo ho, you wanna square up with me?" Li Tieniu placed his gun on a nearby stool.

"Come on, we’re all brothers here, no need for trouble!" Liu the Tyrant quickly stepped forward to mediate, while Xiao Bai and Da Hei stood up, but Haozi and Da Xia merely watched, clearly entertained. After all, in the Luo Sijue family, it’s the survival of the fittest. The strongest lead. Disputes were settled with fists. Thus, these two didn’t intervene. In Leisure City, guards resolved conflicts with their fists.

"No, Tie Niu has to apologize to me!" Jiang Wei bit his teeth, his face defiant.

"Apologize to me? No way!" Li Tieniu raised his fist, then laughed, "If you beat me, I’ll apologize to you!"

"Come on!" Jiang Wei immediately walked to the side and cleared an area, saying, "Come out, let the fists decide the outcome!"

"Bring it on, I’m not scared!" Li Tieniu quite overdid it, his strength was clearly stronger than Jiang Wei’s, but he still insisted on sparring with him just for fun. Of course, in a way, he was also improving Jiang Wei’s combat ability.

No matter how others tried to persuade them, it was no use—they’d pulled up their ranks and were ready to fight for their lives. Jiang Wei had a look of deep resentment, like a little wife, while Li Tieniu was just like a big bearded dad, his face covered in a bearded mustache. It was clear at a glance who was superior and who was inferior.

"Tie Niu, if you don’t apologize, you’ll regret it!" Jiang Wei, clenching his teeth, immediately lunged forward, fists fiercely swinging. Among all, Jiang Wei was the quickest to improve. He knew the gap between himself and the others, and also knew he was the weakest among the Eight Hidden Generals, so he constantly strove to enhance his own skills. Strength was his most vulnerable spot; he didn’t want anyone to touch it.

Like today, the moment someone touched his vulnerability, he immediately sprang up like a hedgehog, bristling his spines and fiercely stabbing towards the enemy.

"Hmph, with that little strength of yours, it’s not enough!" Li Tieniu scoffed, then raised his fist and smashed it hard towards Jiang Wei.

Bang...

Their fists collided fiercely, creating a crisp crack sound. Both had tough bones, hardened by the Ancient Lava Cave, where their bones underwent basic transformations, absorbing calcium adequately, making their bones as hard as steel.

Jiang Wei was staggered back two steps by Li Tieniu’s punch, then pushed off the ground with his legs. Li Tieniu delivered a fierce Tornado Kick, hitting Jiang Wei in the chest. The newly charged Jiang Wei was swept away by the tremendous force.

Boom...

That loud sound made everyone’s hearts tighten. Shit, that kick was either going to kill or cripple him. However, nobody knew about their experience in the Ancient Lava Cave except themselves. When it’s a fight among their own, they naturally should moderate their force.

Nevertheless, despite Jiang Wei’s strong physique, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood under the force of that kick. The blood immediately stained the front of Jiang Wei’s clothing. Some people started advising, "Stop fighting, be careful not to take a life!"

Once he saw blood, Jiang Wei seemed to be enraged, and he charged recklessly forward, running while roaring, "I’m going to kill you!"

"Hmph, you’re not qualified yet!" Li Tieniu scoffed, and a Hook punched hard into Jiang Wei’s abdomen.

Pfft...

Jiang Wei spurted a mouthful of blood, while Li Tieniu barely blinked. Then grabbing Jiang Wei’s arm, he executed a shoulder throw, slamming Jiang Wei hard into the ground. Li Tieniu scoffed coldly, "When facing your enemy, it’s not about aggressive attacks but about being smart, staying calm, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses between you and your enemy. If you continue like this, then, there’s only one word for you—death!"

"Hmph!" Jiang Wei got up, his body covered in blood, wavering to his feet, saying, "It’s not up to you to dictate what I do, wait until I knock you down, then you’ll have no right to speak!"

Jiang Wei suddenly dashed forward. Li Tieniu was startled but struck another Hook punch. However, this time Jiang Wei dodged it, then headbutted Li Tieniu’s abdomen fiercely. Li Tieniu was caught off guard by this sudden attack, tumbling over like a cumbersome buffalo.

Jiang Wei immediately mounted Li Tieniu, pinning down his arms, and gritted his teeth, "I’ll teach you to talk about me!"

"Ah!" The feeling of being in a joint lock was excruciating; Li Tieniu discharged a roar of fury and shock. He never anticipated being put at a disadvantage by Jiang Wei. He felt somewhat incredulous. Just when he was about to roll over, Jiang Wei had already jumped up, standing three meters away from him.

Although Li Tieniu’s injuries were minor compared to Jiang Wei’s and relatively insignificant, this was absolutely a major blow to him. Even though Li Tieniu’s strength was not top three among the Eight Hidden Generals, it was definitely above average. To be beaten so miserably by someone like Jiang Wei, who was at the bottom of the pack, evidently burned his pride.

"Jiang Wei, you’ve provoked me!" Li Tieniu, who had been waiting for Jiang Wei’s attack to counter until now, was finally ready to strike.

"Come on, let’s see who is better!" Jiang Wei snorted lightly, then spat out a mouthful of blood-speckled saliva.
