Chapter 29 Showing Power
Yu Zhenchuan shouted angrily, and the people from the Sanjiang Gang attacked even more fiercely, beating the people who were calling for help until they screamed in pain.
The thin man who was the leader of the Sanjiang Gang turned around, looked at him coldly, and said:
"Where did this mad dog come from? How dare you bark in front of me!"
Yu Zhenchuan was furious and rushed forward using the Crouching Tiger Step.
Chen Yuan's eyes flashed twice, and he followed, but his pace slowed down a little and fell behind Yu Zhenchuan.
The thin man shook his head, threw the long stick in his hand to the ground, and calmly took a stance.
The alley was not long. Yu Zhenchuan rushed to him in three or two steps and used the Fuhu Fist, a move like a vicious tiger coming out of a cave. He stretched out his right hand and grabbed the thin man's shoulder.
The thin man dodged and kicked downwards.
boom!
The kick landed on Yu Zhenchuan's calf, causing him to stagger and lose his balance.
The thin man then performed a series of double-duck kicks, kicking Yu Zhenchuan in the chest.
Bang! Yu Zhenchuan flew out backwards. Chen Yuan stopped, reached out to catch him, and said with concern:
"Brother Yu, are you okay?"
The thin man laughed:
"With just this little ability, you dare to stand up for others?"
Yu Zhenchuan covered his chest, his face flushed, and said:
"You are a master at the peak of bone refining. You bully the weak and attack ordinary members of my Fu Hu Gang. Don't you feel ashamed?"
The thin man sneered:
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. It was you from the Fuhu Gang who disrespected me, so I just gave you a small punishment. This is the rule of the underworld. Don't you agree with it, Fuhu Gang?"
At this time, the dozen or so Fu Hu Gang warriors were all knocked to the ground, and the wailing and groaning sounds were endless.
The young man who had just shouted for help said angrily:
"Nonsense, it's obviously you guys who set me up..."
"Shut up!"
Snapped!
A warrior from the Sanjiang Gang leaned over, slapped him in the face, and said something vicious.
The young man didn't dare to say anything else. He just stared at the warriors from the Sanjiang Gang, his face still full of resentment.
"You little bastard, you don't accept it, right?"
The warrior from the Sanjiang Gang grinned, raised his foot and stepped hard on the young man's leg.
Click!
"Ah! My legs! Ah..."
The young man kept screaming, tears streaming down his face, his facial features twisted into a ball.
Yu Zhenchuan was very anxious:
"Junior Brother Li!"
The thin man smiled and said:
"Don't worry, it will be your turn soon. Don't you want to stand out? I'll teach you a lesson. The world is dangerous. If you don't have the ability, don't mess with the wrong people. I'm in a good mood today, so I only want one of your legs. If it were someone else, I would take your life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward and pounced towards Yu Zhenchuan.
Yu Zhenchuan gritted his teeth and was about to go up to fight, but Chen Yuan suddenly spoke:
"Brother Yu, leave it to me."
Yu Zhenchuan was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and stepped aside.
He drank most of the pot of Cuiyun wine, his head was dizzy and he was filled with anger, but he forgot that Chen Yuan had killed Jiang Feng, who was in the Marrow Refining Realm, with two sword strikes and was much stronger than him.
The thin man didn't expect Yu Zhenchuan to retreat without a fight. He hid behind a boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old and said disdainfully:
"You idiot, I'm going to break both of your legs today!"
His target was still Yu Zhenchuan. He didn't take Chen Yuan seriously at all and just grabbed him casually.
Chen Yuan did not dodge. The thin man grabbed his right arm and swung it to the side, but it did not move.
The thin man was stunned and tried to shake Chen Yuan with more strength, but he still didn't move.
Chen Yuan grabbed the thin man's arm and said:
"Today I'm going to teach you a lesson. The world is dangerous. If you don't have the ability, don't mess with the wrong people!"
After saying that, he suddenly exerted force and pulled the thin man towards him.
The thin man tried his best to retreat, but it was of no avail. He stumbled and fell forward.
At the same time, Chen Yuan punched out with his right fist, as fast as lightning, hitting the thin man's abdomen hard.
boom!
A muffled sound was heard, the thin man's eyes bulged, he made two "ho ho" sounds from his mouth, and fell to the ground limply, unable to even utter a scream.
Chen Yuan used eight hundred kilograms of force in this punch, and he simply couldn't bear it.
Upon seeing this, the faces of the other five Sanjiang Gang warriors changed drastically.
Chen Yuan let go of the thin man, used the Crouching Tiger Step, and rushed forward.
Seeing Chen Yuan easily deal with the thin man, Yu Zhenchuan breathed a sigh of relief and followed closely.
These five people were all leather refining warriors with low strength. Chen Yuan and Yu Zhenchuan easily dealt with them and then helped up the dozen Fu Hu Gang warriors.
Only the young man with a broken leg was still lying on the ground.
The thin man just recovered and lay on the ground, holding his stomach, and said with difficulty:
"You... who are you?" Chen Yuan did not answer. He came to him, looked down at him, and said:
"I'm in a good mood today, so I only want your legs. If it were someone else, I'd want your life."
"No, we can talk it over. Show some mercy...ah!"
Chen Yuan stepped on the thin man with two kicks, breaking both legs. In severe pain, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Yu Zhenchuan also took ruthless action and broke the legs of the five Sanjiang Gang warriors. Only then did the shame and anger in his heart disappear.
Chen Yuan leaned over and took out everything in the thin man's arms, including more than ten taels of silver, a bottle of golden wound medicine, and a bottle of essence-nourishing pills.
Chen Yuan handed all these things to Yu Zhenchuan and said:
"Brother Yu, take this bottle of nourishing pills. Use the money to buy some tonics for Brother Li to prevent him from getting sick. If there is any left, share it with the other brothers."
"I can't accept this medicine..."
Yu Zhenchuan was about to refuse, but then he remembered something, took the thing, and said with a smile:
"Look at my memory. Junior brother has the marrow refining pill in his hand and will be able to break through in a few days. Naturally, he will not look down on this bottle of essence-nourishing pill."
Junior Brother Li struggled to raise his hands and clasped his fists in salute:
"Thank you very much, Brother Chen!"
The others followed suit and looted all the belongings of the five Sanjiang Gang warriors, collecting seven or eight taels of silver, which they gave to Yu Zhenchuan.
Yu Zhenchuan immediately ordered everyone to throw these Sanjiang Gang warriors into the depths of the alley, and then asked several people with less serious injuries to carry Junior Brother Li back to Chongxinfang to find a doctor from Shennong Hall to treat his injuries.
On the way, everyone was very interested in Chen Yuan, who defeated the thin man with one punch, and asked him all kinds of questions.
Yu Zhenchuan smiled and said:
"This is Senior Brother Chen Erniu who was just transferred from Leping County to the county town. He is born with supernatural powers and is highly skilled in martial arts. He once killed a mountain bandit in the Marrow Refining Realm with a knife in the Chimang Mountains..."
He described Chen Yuan's deeds vividly, which amazed everyone and made them respect Chen Yuan as if he were a god.
Although Chen Yuan didn't want to become famous and attract attention, he also knew that this kind of thing could not be kept secret, so he could only accept it calmly.
……
Everyone returned to Chongxinfang and settled Junior Brother Li down before dispersing.
Chen Yuan and Yu Zhenchuan walked towards their residence together. Yu Zhenchuan said gratefully:
"Junior brother, I am so grateful for your help today, otherwise I would have lost face."
Chen Yuan waved his hand and said:
"Brother, what are you talking about? How can I just stand by and watch those people bully our Fu Hu Gang? Breaking both of their legs would be the least of my worries."
Yu Zhenchuan said seriously:
"Anyway, I owe you this favor. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come to me. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"
"Brother, you are too kind..."
Chen Yuan smiled, then changed the subject and said:
"Before Xie Quan died, he said that the Sanjiang Gang paid the money, so the Black Wind Village robbed our Leping County branch's convoy. Did the Sanjiang Gang and our Fuhu Gang have a grudge against each other for a long time?"
Yu Zhenchuan said angrily:
"That's right. The Sanjiang Gang is a newly emerged gang more than a decade ago. Yongping River was originally the territory of our Fuhu Gang, but they took it away. Later, they fought with us for several years, and there was no winner. But the hatred grew deeper and deeper. They would fight whenever they met. Breaking hands and feet would be the least of their worries."
Chen Yuan's expression changed, and a murderous look appeared on his face:
"Didn't we go too easy on ourselves just now? I'm going back right now to kill those bastards!"
Yu Zhenchuan hurriedly grabbed Chen Yuan:
"Brother, don't worry! If it was in the wilderness, it would be a fight to the death, but this is in the county town. If someone dies, it will be a disaster. Breaking their legs is enough."
Chen Yuan's expression eased slightly and he said:
"They are lucky. We will settle this account with them later!"
Yu Zhenchuan laughed and said:
"Junior brother, your filial piety is commendable, but you don't have to worry about revenge. The last time I came back from Leping County, Steward Wei reported the matter of Black Wind Village to Hall Master Hou. Two days later, a fleet of the Sanjiang Gang on the Yongping River was robbed by pirates."
"Did Hall Master Hou send someone to do this?"
"It's almost certain. If the Sanjiang Gang dares to hire mountain bandits, then the Hall Master Hou can naturally command the water bandits. This is called a tooth for a tooth!"
"Well done! This is the method you need to use to deal with such a sinister villain!"
Chen Yuan was extremely excited. Yu Zhenchuan hurriedly pulled him back and said in a low voice:
"This is my guess. Deacon Wei has never said anything about it. This kind of thing cannot be made public. Don't tell anyone."
Chen Yuan patted his chest and assured:
"Don't worry, brother. I know the severity of the situation."
Yu Zhenchuan reminded again:
"After the Sanjiang Gang's fleet was in trouble, although there was no evidence, it was determined to be revenge by our Fuhu Gang. If you encounter someone from the Sanjiang Gang, don't be careless. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the county city, and marrow refining is everywhere. Not every time can be as smooth as today."
Chen Yuan said solemnly:
"Thank you for the reminder, I will be careful."
"Ah, it's my fault that I got Junior Brother into trouble. The Cuiyun wine has a strong aftereffect. If I had encountered this kind of thing normally, I would definitely not be so reckless..."
"Senior brother is also concerned about fellow gang members..."
The two chatted for a few more minutes, then parted ways and returned to their respective residences.
Chen Yuan returned to the house, took out the marrow refining pill that Wei Wuding gave him, and examined it carefully.
After making sure that the medicinal power of the pill was intact and there was nothing mixed in it, he pondered for a while before putting it away.
This pill is no longer useful to him, but it is also a good thing worth a hundred taels of silver, which can be exchanged for a small half bottle of pills for strengthening the body and replenishing the essence for internal force warriors.
But how to take action without causing trouble still requires careful consideration.
