Chapter 5: The Strong
The summer is scorching, and the fire is pouring down, but it can't burn the violence on the earth. In the world of natural selection, weak lives always disappear quietly.
Half a month, for the strong people with a long lifespan, is almost a blink of an eye, and for the poor people at the bottom who are struggling to survive, they can only survive day and night.
During this time, Ye Wen finally completely mastered the essence realm of [Bear Claw] and became one of the most powerful existences in the slums in one fell swoop.
It's incredible!
Even the unlucky black bear who died in a daze spent several years on this talisman before he could reach the realm of the first pass
And this change is still hidden in Ye Wen's caution.
At the same time, in the slums where crime and poverty are entangled, it is not surprising that there is a bloody storm, and the lone wolf group of the Green Snake Gang breaks the tacit understanding of several years and unceremoniously enters the northern section of the slum, breaking the power structure for a while.
The lurking slums, the arrogant lone wolf group, and the quietly expanding blood wolf gang clash with cautious and visible speed.
The slums, which had been abandoned, had suddenly become so alluring and tasty that they had caused violent conflicts, and the occasional screams in the dark alleys, and the smell of blood that made passers-by tremble.
......
The streets of the slums are deserted compared to before.
In the inhumane gang fighting, the old and weak, women and children are often the victims of sorrow, and those who can survive in such a place will not be stupid people who are willing to die, simply hiding at home and waiting for the limelight to pass.
Ye Wen was standing in front of the butcher shop on a side street, and in front of him was the vicious-looking butcher shopkeeper, who was scolding and cutting pork.
The owner of this butcher shop is also a tyrant in the street, a pair of meat palms have killed a lot of gangsters who are not long-eyed, and his fame is not inferior to that of a black bear, so he can naturally continue to open a shop without fear.
"His grandmother's, a black bear is dead, and a bunch of hungry wolves are coming, sooner or later they will be chopped to death!"
The butcher shopkeeper's movements paused, and he suddenly glanced at Ye Wen in front of him, and said in a strange tone: "Bastard boy, is it because you have picked up a windfall, how can you afford to buy meat?"
"Luck, I found some good goods in the garbage heap before, and I finally bought half a catty of pork, and I really couldn't help but want to taste it. ”
Ye Wen frowned, and then said lightly. He naturally understood the meaning of the butcher's question, the person in front of him was not a good man and a woman.
"Oh. ”
In the eyes of the butcher shop owner looking up and down, Ye Wen wrapped the pork in oiled paper, put it in his arms and hid it closely, turned his head silently, his eyes were a little cold, looking at the sparsely headed way home, he suddenly smiled, walked forward quickly, and disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye.
Ye Wen turned a few streets with ease, and the occasional dark gaze peeping along the way could not make his pace pause in the slightest, the slums were in a chaotic period, and many lurking jackals took the opportunity to hunt, making this messy muddy water even more chaotic.
Sighing lightly, Ye Wen cleaned up his mood, Xiaoqian at home was still waiting for him, and the taste of pork that he had not seen for a long time, but just as he was walking along the street, a figure suddenly ran out in a panic not far away, shouting as he ran: "Help!
"Damn the Green Snake Gang......"
Ye Wen's face suddenly became gloomy, due to the influence of Dao power cultivation, his immature little face actually revealed a bit of majesty that did not match his age.
Running out was a rather beautiful woman, her young face was full of panic, but she soon fell to the ground, and then was surrounded by several big men in front and back, and the woman's gloomy eyes couldn't help but reveal a little despair.
"Help Me ......"
Desperate cries rang out in the silent streets, and the fierce disciples of the Green Snake Gang forced back those rare passers-by who tried to save the beauty with vicious eyes, and more hurriedly left after a glance or two.
No matter how much the woman struggled, she couldn't compete with the strong men, and in a burst of obscene and cruel laughter, the sound of tearing clothes sounded, and the clothes that were torn into strips were thrown into the air by thick hands.
Accompanied by the woman's screams and cries, the woman was even dragged into the alley by the side of the road.
There was anger surging in Ye Wen's eyes, his tight fists were almost oozing blood, and one cry after another came into his ears, but his face changed uncertainly, and he opened the key to memory for a while......
Ten years ago.
In a simplely decorated hall, a majestic middle-aged man sat on a chair, with a gentle smile on his knife-and-axe face, picked up a glass of liquor and drank it all, and looked at the little boy eating steamed buns next to him with deep pupils.
"Father-in-law, why did you adopt us?"
The little boy took a bite of the steamed bun, rolled his smart eyes, looked at his father-in-law who was looking at him, and suddenly said in a milky voice.
As the little boy's voice fell, the entire hall suddenly became silent, and the air seemed to solidify at this moment, not a solemn atmosphere, but a faint sadness and memories, the middle-aged man was silent for a moment, and then returned to a smile and said:
"Mercy is the right of the strong. ”
The middle-aged man met the little boy's puzzled gaze, smiled and paused, shook his head again, and after half a sound, the magnetic voice echoed in the hall again, and while speaking slowly, he fell into boundless memories:
"There was once a person who deeply understood this truth, deeply understood the insignificance of the weak, and the powerlessness of the weak, so he vowed to become a strong man who stood up to the heavens and the earth. ”
Later, he became a strong man, but he was still powerless in the face of injustice, because he was afraid of the stronger one.
"When he becomes a stronger powerhouse, he will still stand by and watch, because there are more powerful beings than him. ”
"Until he was defeated in the first level of the demon in his heart, so that his realm fell, his Dao power was completely lost, and he became a wasted person, he looked back on his life......"
"It turned out that he had never become a strong man. He knows that mercy is the right of the strong. But he forgot that fearlessness is the pillar of the strong. ”
"How can a person who is afraid of everything, calculates everything, and scruples about everything, embark on the path of cultivation, and how can he not be afraid of the sky, and he can't even win, so how can he practice against the sky......
The little boy tilted his head and thought for a while, then looked at his father-in-law, who seemed to be a little strange and distant, and asked in a milky voice, "Father-in-law, what does what you said have to do with what I asked?"
"Haha. ”
The middle-aged man was stunned, then laughed, an inexplicable color appeared in his eyes, stretched out his palm, gently rubbed the little boy's head, and suddenly was silent for a moment, muttering to himself: "It's too far, I'll adopt you...... Perhaps, I just want to be a real strong man before I die......"
The child didn't understand. ”
"Haha, you don't have to understand, you don't have to understand. Come, keep eating!" the middle-aged man poured another glass of liquor and laughed loudly.
......
Ye Wen slowly opened his eyes, due to the emergence of those memories in his mind, the inexplicable emotions in his heart began to surge, he took a deep breath, and the waves in his eyes quickly returned to calm.
Looking at the alley where there was a faint obscene sound, Ye Wen's little face flashed a touch of determination, and then he quickly ran towards the entrance of the alley with a strong foot. "Stop!"
Ye Wen's footsteps stepped into the alley, and the scene of bullying and bullying women from good families appeared in front of him again, his heart churned with a calm killing intent, and the Dao power in his body flowed wildly, like a fierce beast ready to attack, ready to use a thunderous [bear claw] at any time.
As soon as the words fell, the three big men surrounding the young woman stopped pulling and looked back at this side in some astonishment, showing that they didn't expect that there were such ignorant people in the slums.
"Poof! hairy boy, are you all hairy, at a young age, you still want to learn from heroes to save beauty?"
Seeing this, among the three of them, a black and strong man looked Ye Wen up and down a little funny, as if he was looking at some rare birds and beasts, and at the same time, the companions on both sides also put down the woman who had fainted and looked at Ye Wen with the same gaze.
Looking at these three disciples of the Green Snake Gang who didn't take themselves seriously, Ye Wen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his sharp gaze looked at the flaws of the three of them, although he had tested the power of [Bear Claw] on the trunk, it was the first time to actually fight a person.
"Hey, Lao Lin, this little kid looks white and clean, do you remember Brother Chen Heng's instructions......"
Seeing Ye Wen walking slowly, one of the short men suddenly brightened his eyes, licked his mouth, and began to sigh in admiration, with a bit of obscenity in his eyes.
[Bear Claw]!
Ye Wen raised his right hand, and the Dao power poured into the bear claw talisman in the palm of his hand, and his right hand suddenly flashed with gray light, and the gray light condensed into a bear claw like hand armor, and he slapped his right palm, and the huge bear claw was as sharp as a knife, grabbing the head on the short man's neck!
In the stunned gaze of the other two, the short man seemed to have been struck by a big knife, blood splattered, and the whole person flew upside down like a sandbag at the same time, and the missing half of his head hit the stone wall, and then slid down softly.
"You!?"
Next to him, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes seemed to be a little unable to react, and the smile on his face had not fallen when his companion flew away upside down, and after being stunned for a moment, he shouted in horror.
"Bear Claw!?" The black strong man gasped, his face became extremely cold, and he grabbed the thick-eyed man and threw it over, while his body retreated again and again, and his right hand quickly slapped his waist.
Bang!
Another bear claw shot out, enough to smash the mountain rock, and crashed into the frightened thick-eyed man in mid-air, with the sound of flesh and blood shattering, the thick-eyed man flew directly sideways, and finally fell to the ground motionless, and the waist and abdomen were almost broken.
"Wind and clouds!"
The black strong man steadied his footsteps, and with a snort, a gray talisman flew out from his waist, turning into a ray of light enveloping his strong body, and for a while there was a faint misty scene flashing.
His figure flickered, avoiding the claw shadows rushing towards him, only to hear a terrible sound of rubble, and a small piece of the ground was smashed in an instant, forming a small depression.
Thinking of the consequences of slapping down the human body, a cold sweat suddenly appeared on the forehead of the black strong man, and at this time he was shocked to realize that the little kid in front of him was afraid that he had the ability to kill himself, but this fear in his heart quickly turned into a killing intent.
"Stinky boy, don't be too complacent! [Bear Claw]—"
As soon as the words fell, the black strong man smiled hideously, then pulled out the dagger on his waist, his eyes were full of hideous killing intent, and he tapped the ground under his feet, and quickly approached Ye Wen's body with a strange pace.
"It's too slow!
The sharp dagger struck out at such a speed that it almost felt like tearing the air, and it was so powerful.
"It's the essence level. ”
Ye Wen glanced at the dagger that came at him, and said lightly, the palm he raised appeared with an extremely faint light in an instant, and then, this claw that came first struck out and slapped at the waist of the black strong man.
