"Die, you maggot!"
Inside a forest filled with tall trees and thick shrubs, a group of disciples dressed in outer disciple robes surrounded a lone boy on the ground, kicking him continuously.
On the ground, a boy covered in bruises curled into a ball, guarding his face from the brutal kicks. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth as a miserable groan escaped his lips.
He was Li Chen, the weakest outer disciple of the Kunlun Sword Sect.
Surrounding him were Zhang Kun and his goons, their faces filled with scorn and contempt as they continued to kick Li Chen.
Zhang Kun, a short, fat boy, held a chicken leg and watched the beating with a grin. 'Humph! I may be fat, but I'm still better than this trash.'
He bit the chicken leg roughly and chewed it in ecstasy.
They might have been part of the lowest rung in the sect, but they were still stronger than the weakest trash. Therefore, hitting and kicking Li Chen gave them a sense of superiority and satisfaction.
"Li Chen, give us your family's land deed, and we won't longer trouble you." Zhang Kun threw away the chicken leg and approached Li Chen.
He stopped a couple of inches from him and looked down. "With your strength and talent, do you really think your family can manage that mine? Hmm?"
"If you had agreed to give Young Miss Jing the land deed, you would have joined our gang by now. So, what do you say?" he asked with a bright smile, folding his arms over his large chest with some difficulty.
Li Chen raised his head, his face swollen, bruised, and cut. His bloodshot eyes glared at Zhang Kun with unyielding hatred.
"Zhang Kun…" His voice was low, filled with anger and hatred. "I'll kill you."
The only thought in his mind was vengeance. He wanted to kill this fatty with every ounce of his strength. He had been trampled on, ridiculed, and shamed, but he endured it all for revenge.
As for the thought of getting stronger to pursue the Dao and become famous throughout the land, he didn't care.
Vengeance was the driving force behind him.
The mere sight of Zhang Kun made his blood boil, his eyes deepening with bloodlust, seeing nothing but red.
"Die!" he shouted, summoning the last bit of strength within him.
