Wang Erniu's sudden attack was completely unexpected.
Liu Zheng had thought he would at least exchange a few more words with him.
But now, Wang Erniu's move had taken Liu Zheng by surprise.
However, it was already too late to dodge.
With a sense of horror, Liu Zheng was sure he was doomed this time.
Without mentioning anything else, just comparing his own physique with Wang Erniu's, the two were not in the same weight class.
If the kick landed on him, wouldn't he be half-dead?
Regretting inwardly, he wished he had taken the initiative earlier; at least he wouldn't be the one suffering for reacting too late.
He braced himself, ready to be sent flying by the kick.
Then.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, Wang Erniu's kick landed on Liu Zheng's thigh, yet Liu Zheng was unscathed, not even swaying in the slightest.
However, Wang Erniu himself was sent flying backward.
He felt as if his foot had struck a stone wall.
Instantly his leg hurt terribly, and he staggered backwards, ending up sitting on the ground with a thud.
"What the, what..."
He cried out in shock, staring incredulously at Liu Zheng, who hadn't moved an inch.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could this be?"
Staring with wide eyes at Liu Zheng, Wang Erniu found it hard to believe what had just happened.
Not only was he shocked, but even Liu Zheng himself was stunned.
But he quickly came to his senses.
He remembered that yesterday at home, when Liu Kai was bullying Wu Min, and he had taken action against those people, with each move his own body seemed to have been strengthened by the legacy.
Thinking of this, he felt a surge of elation.
"Damn, this is defying the heavens. It's too brutal; my body has been enhanced to this extent!"
He glanced down at his body, feeling an indescribable thrill.
He clenched his fists, feeling the sensation of strength, and sensed that his body was completely different.
Once he felt this strength, his confidence soared.
By this time, Wang Erniu had already gotten back on his feet.
He glared at Liu Zheng, shaking his head repeatedly, "Impossible, it absolutely can't be. Damn it, I haven't settled things with Liu Sumei, that little wench yet, how could I have faltered already?"
While saying this, he sneered, then made a throat-slitting gesture at Liu Zheng.
"I'll kill you, damn it!"
As he spoke, he charged forward once again.
In his mind, he was convinced that the fall earlier was just a fluke because he hadn't kicked properly.
Disbelieving, Wang Erniu charged forward, his kick even more powerful than the previous one.
Seeing Wang Erniu rush at him again with a kick, Liu Zheng this time was no longer willing to let it slide.
Having suffered once already, he was determined not to make the same mistake.
Therefore, he too lashed out with a kick, striking out directly.
Both men kicked, but as Liu Zheng was taller and his legs were longer than Wang Erniu's, his kick connected with Wang Erniu's leg just as it was swung out.
"Bang!"
Another dull thud.
This time, Liu Zheng still did not waver, but Wang Erniu's body was sent flying.
Earlier it had been just a fall, but this time he was really sent airborne.
Then he rolled on the ground several times before coming to a stop.
Feeling the pain all over his body, Wang Erniu lay there grimacing and gasping in pain, feeling as if his body had fallen apart.
Lying there, he couldn't get up for quite some time.
Liu Zheng was a very clever man.
Moreover, he had a strong ability to read and comprehend, so he understood a very simple truth.
Being merciful to an enemy is cruelty to oneself.
Strike him down while he is ill.
Right now, Wang Erniu was unable to rise, but if he were allowed to get up and regain his strength, who knew how he might fight back at that time?
Therefore, it was necessary to completely subdue him while he was weak.
With that thought in mind, Liu Zheng walked straight toward Wang Erniu.
A murderous intent had already formed within him.
If he was going to do it, he had to be ruthless; otherwise, if the other side got a chance to fight back, he was being irresponsible to himself.
Seeing Liu Zheng approach with murderous fervor, Wang Erniu was instantly alarmed.
He wasn't foolish; having fought countless times, he could easily discern his opponent's thoughts.
Liu Zheng's surging intent to kill, looking as if he wanted to end his life, filled his eyes with an inexplicable terror.
"You, you, cough cough... don't... I was just joking with Su Mei a moment ago."
Bearing the pain, Wang Erniu now struggled up from the ground and began retreating continuously, waving his hands and shaking his head, pleading with Liu Zheng for mercy.
"Spare me, ha ha! We're all folks from the same village; just let your brother off this once..."
As he retreated, Wang Erniu's movements were already unsteady.
In this state, fighting was certainly out of the question.
With Liu Zheng closing in step by step, he knew he was no match, so he simply chose to submit.
Liu Zheng paused, as he had never intended to fight with Wang Erniu. Hearing him beg for mercy, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He didn't know what to say.
Was he really going to kill him?
Murder was a crime, and he would have to pay with his own life, right?
But while he thought this,
Wang Erniu, seeing Liu Zheng hesitate, instantly jumped back, dragging his now-lame leg and running wildly up and down.
He didn't dare to look back as he ran, feeling lucky in his heart that Liu Zheng was just a silly boy.
By the time Liu Zheng reacted, Wang Erniu had already run quite a distance away.
"Damn it! This bastard."
Liu Zheng grabbed a handful of hair and immediately set off in pursuit.
This Wang Erniu, if he didn't properly deal with him, how could he let it go?
But then,
He had barely run ten steps when he heard Liu Sumei scream from behind a large rock.
"Ahh ahh ahh... There's a snake!"
Hearing her cry, Liu Zheng was shocked and immediately stopped in his tracks.
He could no longer afford to chase after Wang Erniu.
This area was an old forest, certainly filled with many poisonous snakes and fierce beasts.
Considering this, Liu Zheng could only weigh his options and decide to abandon the idea of continuing to chase Wang Erniu.
He turned around and walked toward the big rock.
As he walked, he looked in the direction of the rock.
Liu Sumei, from behind the rock, also looked towards Liu Zheng.
However, her face was now a pale white.
With trembling lips, Liu Sumei said, "I, I, Xiao Zheng, I've been bitten by a snake!"
Hearing that she had been bitten by a snake, Liu Zheng was also startled.
"Um... Sister Su Mei, what kind of snake bit you?"
Hearing Liu Zheng's question, Liu Sumei's face grew even paler.
"I, I don't know! It, it might think I'm part of its home, it's burrowing in right now."
