Chapter 5

‘Bang!’

The door of the house that had just been opened was slammed shut, revealing scorn and contempt.

Small children who were playing with ants on the roadside were called back by the adults anxiously, worried that they might get hurt.

Nie Feng left his home and walked down the alleyway, and saw his neighbors were all hiding from him as if he were the plague, no one greeted him, no one looked at him with friendliness and kindness. Everyone’s gazes contained disapproval and disdain.

Nie Feng bitterly smiled and touched his nose, feeling helpless.

The previous owner of this body failed to learn martial arts and abandoned himself to the streets. He hung out with thugs and was mixed up with the wrong crowd, usually going around extorting, robbing and threatening the neighbors. The neighbors sympathized with Ye Qingniang the widow and her children, so they didn’t bother with him much, but that didn’t stop them from loathing and despising Nie Feng.

“This is the place!”

“He must be at home now, block off the escape routes, don’t let him get away!”

“Don’t worry Big Brother, it’s just Nie Erwazi, that little coward, Laozi will clean him up alone and make him cry for his father and mother!”

“Don’t be careless, Old Gou was beaten up by him!”

Just when Nie Feng was about to walk out of the alley, noisy footsteps and clamor suddenly came from the front.

Hearing his name, Nie Feng stopped in his tracks, and a cold, stern look flashed in his eyes.

He saw seven or eight burly men striding over from the street to his right, their hands carrying thick wooden sticks, clubs, batons and other weapons. Their aggressive and domineering appearance made the pedestrians on the street evade in a panic.

Among them, the big man walking in the forefront had his head held high, wore a short-sleeved jacket revealing his hairy chest, his swarthy face had a violent look, and his eyes like big bronze bells were fierce.

“Ah, it’s Boss Xiong!”

Street onlookers who have recognized him, could not help but exclaim: “Something big is about to go down!”

“Nie Erwa!” The burly man called “Boss Xiong” saw Nie Feng standing at the entrance of the alley, he immediately yelled with a loud voice: “Stop!”

Nie Feng disdainfully smirked and lazily asked, “So it’s Boss Xiong, what do you want from me?”

This Boss Xiong was a small leader of the South Yuan City’s Fierce Tiger Gang, and the original Nie Feng knew a few of his minions, not much of a friendship, but also no enmity.

In the past, the original Nie Erwa was in awe of Boss Xiong, but now it’s a completely different story.

“Hmm?” Boss Xiong’s eyes widened in surprise, somewhat unable to believe it. Boss Xiong had seen Nie Feng before, cowering in front of him like a quail that had seen an eagle, unable to even speak properly, but he didn’t expect that now he was actually a completely different person, making him feel very strange.

Has this kid eaten a bear’s heart and a leopard’s gall?

Boss Xiong’s face trembled and said in a gloomy voice: “Nie Erwazi, now you have grown up ah? You don’t even kowtow to me when you see me, is your skin itchy?”

The gangsters who followed him burst out laughing.

“Nie Erwa, come over and kowtow to the boss!”

“Letting you kneel before the boss, that is looking up to you, maybe the boss will accept you as a godson.”

“Hey, Nie Erwazi has a beautiful sister-in-law, the boss likes her.”

“That’s right, that’s right, Nie Erwa will enjoy a blessing!”

They mocked unscrupulously, looking at Nie Feng with contempt in their eyes.

At this time, the neighbors heard the commotion and came out to see, they did not dare to come close, but continued to watch from afar, pointing and whispering.

“Ah ah, you see, Nie Erwa was caught, he is quite unlucky!”

“It’s really no wonder, hanging out with these people all day long, now he’s getting a taste of it, right?”

“I told you, he’ll get into trouble, and his family will suffer!”

“Nie’s wife also has a hard life, she has such a roguish brother-in-law, she must have really sinned in her past life.”

“Is he stupid? Why not run?”

There are those who shake their heads and sigh, there are those who gloat, no one stands out to help him, everyone is unwilling and afraid.

Boss Xiong waited until his minions finished their mocking before he said to Nie Feng with his nose in the air, “Nie Erwa, you injured Old Gou yesterday and robbed him of all his money, do you not know that Old Gou is covered by Laozi?”

He said with a fierce smile, “If you hit Old Gou, that’s a hit on Laozi’s face, do you know what the consequences are?”

“Consequences?” Under everyone’s gaze, Nie Feng laughed, “I don’t know what the consequences are, I just know that you guys, if you don’t leave all the money you have on you and scram, then don’t even think about going back in one piece.”

As soon as his words fell, Boss Xiong and the others were all dumbfounded.

After a moment, everyone burst out laughing!

“Holy shit, Nie Erwazi has gone crazy, he doesn’t even know who he is anymore!”

“Has he gone crazy from poverty?”

“Leave the money behind and scram, I’ll leave you a big pile of poop!”

“Idiot, go to hell!”

All kinds of obscenities poured out towards Nie Feng like fierce wind and rain.

How vulgar!

Nie Feng couldn’t help but sigh, and suddenly stepped forward, rushing to the front of Boss Xiong in an instant.

‘Slap!’

He swung his hand and heavily smacked Boss Xiong on his black face, knocking the latter’s head to the side. The next moment, Nie Feng took two lightning-like steps back and returned to his original spot.

“Boss Xiong, I did hit you in the face, what do you think the consequences are?”

Boss Xiong twisted his head, opened his mouth and spat out two bloodied teeth, and the left side of his face swelled up like balloon. He was completely dumbfounded by this slap from Nie Feng.

“Ah~”

Only after a few moments did Boss Xiong wake up as if from a dream and let out a beastly, mournful howl, his eyes turning bloodshot and red.

“I’ll kill you!”

He grabbed the thick wooden stick held in the hand of the thug next to him and swung it high and forward, slamming it down towards Nie Feng’s head, fast, accurate and vicious!

Boss Xiong can become the leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang, his strength is certainly not low, he has learned martial arts and has brute strength, coupled with the courage to fight, in this area of South Yuan City he is very famous.

This stick swings down with full force, whistling through the air. If this smash connects then it will be absolutely fatal!

The shame of being hit in the face in public made Boss Xiong completely lose his mind.

The surrounding area immediately resounded with a cry of shock, many onlookers closed their eyes or turned their heads, not daring to look at the bloody scene of Nie Feng’s brain being splattered.

However, in the face of Boss Xiong’s fierce counterattack, Nie Feng stood still without dodging or moving, his lips curled up in a sneer as he suddenly threw a fist from the bottom up to meet the big stick smashing down on him. He has already successfully condensed his star energy, his body if full of star energy and he has had nowhere to vent this surging energy, so how could he be afraid of such a level of attack?

‘Ka-chow!’

The clenched fist and the dark yellow wooden stick collided heavily, and the latter unexpectedly burst apart in pieces, shattered wood chips flying everywhere, splashing onto Boss Xiong’s face and body.

“Ah!”

The small gang leader screamed miserably and dropped the wooden stick that was only half left in his hand, covering his eyes and staggering back. He was stabbed in his left eye by a sharp splinter and was in tears of pain.

The thugs who witnessed this scene were all left open mouthed and wide eyed, unable to believe what had just happened.

For these gangsters, fights and brawls are commonplace, and in order to ensure victory, the weapons they use are carefully selected, not just any ordinary sticks. For example, the thick wooden stick that Boss Xiong just used, it’s material is a few decades of hard pear wood, the planing has been completed after repeated exposure to tung oil and the final product is as hard as iron. Hitting people with it can break their bones with ease.

But such a thick wooden stick, was shattered by Nie Feng’s single fist! Is he still human?

“Star… Star warrior!”

A thug suddenly shouted out, the expression on his face pale, like he had seen a ghost.

Only after his reminder did everyone notice that Nie Feng’s right fist, which had just shattered the wooden stick, was radiating a red light visible to the naked eye, and that the muscles of his entire arm were swelling up, almost bursting through his sleeves.

Star energy, star martial artist!

Although these thugs are all uneducated, but their eyesight and insight is still a bit better than that of ordinary people, Nie Feng’s amazing performance, and the abnormality of his fist clearly reveal a very important fact.

Nie Feng is a powerful star martial artist!
