Pang Feng viciously slapped Zou Wenming five times, making the kid cry for his parents, while he himself felt exhilaratingly refreshed.
He thought that in his eighteen years of life, this was the first time he had felt such satisfaction.
Born an orphan, Pang Feng had endured a tough life. After he became sensible, he didn't want to cause trouble for Old Master Zhang, so he always chose to endure when faced with problems, which over time seemed to become a habit. Deep down, he even felt somewhat inferior.
But now, Old Master Zhang had passed away, and after Pang Feng arrived in Wugai Town, he was cautious in every aspect, yet he was still bullied by Wen Xuebing and Zou Wenming's group.
Today, no longer able to bear it, he counterattacked Wen Xuebing and succeeded in one go, which taught him a lesson, "Good people are bullied, good horses are ridden!"
Pang Feng decided that from now on, he must completely change his way of doing things. With a cultivation inheritance that surpassed the mundane within him, did he still need to be subservient to others?
After teaching Zou Wenming a lesson, Pang Feng walked by the Yingyang River and gradually calmed down, and he finally had time to sort out the inheritance in his mind.
The Copper Coin Heritage was broad and profound, incredibly extensive, and could be said to contain almost everything.
For Pang Feng, the most important thing was to get out of his current predicament, so he focused only on the heritage related to medicine and medical skills. As he immersed himself, he discovered many miraculous medical techniques within the heritage.
Since Pang Feng was really short on money, he only finished junior high and then went to a vocational school. How much medical knowledge could a vocational student learn? But now, by corroborating what he learned with many of the medical skills from the heritage, he felt that many of the things he didn't understand before were now fully integrated.
As the heritage merged into his mind, he felt his brain filling up in a way he never had before. He could now clearly remember every medical book he had read, understanding the knowledge recorded in them.
This discovery overjoyed him because he was about to prepare for the rural doctor's license exam. If he could pass this exam, and with his own abilities, even if he lost his job at the health clinic, he could live comfortably wherever he went.
Now his mind was completely relaxed, and he had prepared for the worst...
As night gradually fell, Pang Feng continued to walk by the river, his mind still engrossed in the inheritance, utterly oblivious to everything else, intoxicated.
"Ah..." Suddenly, a sharp scream pierced the night sky.
The scream was far away, not very loud, but the tone was extremely piercing.
Pang Feng's mind jolted, and his thoughts snapped back to reality. He furrowed his brow slightly and listened intently.
"Over there, under the arch bridge!" He quickly pinpointed the source of the sound.
He immediately rushed toward that location. Beneath the arch bridge, where the light was dim, Pang Feng focused his eyes and could clearly make out the scene below.
"Damn!" Pang Feng smirked. He could see clearly now, under the arch bridge, a man and a woman were embracing each other. That sound had come from the woman. Pang Feng had thought someone was in danger and calling for help, but it turned out they were engaging in that act!
Pang Feng had no interest in peeping, and after glancing over there a few times, he was ready to leave. Just at that moment, the man suddenly looked back, and Pang Feng caught a glimpse of his face.
"Hmm? Why does that face look so familiar? It seems I've seen it somewhere before?"
"Oh no, the gas station, yes, the gas station wall had a notice, it was a wanted poster, isn't this the guy from the wanted poster?"
Upon this thought, Pang Feng felt his hair stand on end immediately.
"This man is called Zhao Zhi, seems like he's a murderer. That woman is in danger."
Without thinking further, Pang Feng subconsciously moved closer towards the underside of the bridge where, under the dark bridge, Gu Yanan was extremely tense. She stared fixedly at the face before her, struggling to remain calm, but her heart couldn't help thudding uncontrollably.
"Beautiful, don't make any more mistakes, or this pretty face of yours will get ruined, and that really wouldn't be too good!" Zhao Zhi's face wore a sinister smile as he eyed Gu Yanan's delicate features, feeling very pleased with himself.
"You... who are you? What do you want?"
"Who am I? Ha ha, does it matter? Do you want to marry me? Come on, relax, let me have a bit of fun first. Damn it, I've been going crazy lately, this godforsaken place is all mountains, I'm really fed up. Beauty, don't be nervous, I'll make you feel good, we'll enjoy it together..."
Zhao Zhi's lewd desires flared up, and the moment the thought crossed his mind, he became somewhat crazed, holding a knife in one hand while the other reached to tear at Gu Yanan's clothes.
Gu Yanan was terrified, opening her mouth to scream, but Zhao Zhi quickly gagged her with a cloth he had prepared earlier and then forcibly pressed her down under the bridge, about to have his way.
Gu Yanan could clearly feel her clothes being stripped off one by one, and an unprecedented panic surged through her. She was truly desperate.
She had just arrived in Wugai Town today to start a new job, hoping to take the time before reporting in to stroll around town and get to know the local customs and culture.
But she never imagined that disaster would strike from the sky. Now she felt like she wanted to die.
Zhao Zhi laughed licentiously, while Gu Yanan closed her eyes, completely giving in to despair.
At that moment, a shout came from within the bridge tunnel, startling Zhao Zhi. He turned his head instantly, only to see a dark figure already at his side.
He was shocked, slashing out with the knife in his hand, but the figure's movements were incredibly fast. He only felt his wrist go numb, and the knife dropped to the ground.
The next moment, a punch landed on his abdomen. The heavy blow to the stomach churned his insides like raging seas, the immense pain leaving him powerless to fight back.
Of course, the dark figure was Pang Feng, who was very nervous at this moment, for this was the first time in his life that he was facing a murderer.
When the killer swung his knife, Pang Feng's heart almost leaped to his throat. Fortunately, he noticed that the other's movements were somewhat slow, and without much thought, he seized the moment, grabbed the killer's hand, and made the knife useless.
After achieving this, there was nothing left but to beat him to a pulp. When Pang Feng received the Copper Coin Heritage, his body had undergone changes nearly akin to rebirth and bone tempering.
His reflexes, awareness, and strength all far exceeded those of an ordinary person. Although Zhao Zhi was savage, he actually had no training and was just slightly stronger than an average person. Pang Feng handled him as easily as chopping melons and slicing vegetables.
But as it was his first time doing something like this, he was overly nervous; he beat Zhao Zhi so furiously that he almost killed him. Luckily, Gu Yanan's forceful struggling brought him back to his senses. As he stopped and saw Zhao Zhi with his eyes rolled back, Pang Feng couldn't help but mutter, "What's the matter, can't he take a beating?"
