Chapter 2, Struck by Lightning

At that moment, a figure rushed towards Dong Chu at high speed, suddenly embracing the unsuspecting Dong Chu; it was none other than Wu Daliang

Yes

Qin Cheng's gaze quickly turned cold as Dong Chu approached, and he subtly adjusted his posture without leaving a trace. However, with this slight adjustment, Qin Cheng was confident that he could make Dong Chu, who was completely unguarded and dismissive, suffer a considerable setback.

Qin Cheng felt that this was somewhat absurd. Had he not been shot dead, but instead, while seeking shelter from the rain under this tree during a thunderstorm, successfully possessed the body of 'Qin Cheng' and then been reborn?

What the hell is this?

Qin Cheng was already prepared for this, as Dong Chu's recent remark had completely condemned his misfortune. That phrase "son of a dog" made Qin Cheng disregard all considerations of gain and loss, ready to fight with this person before him who had touched his sore spot.

As soon as this thought emerged, Qin Cheng ruthlessly dismissed it

Blue skies and white clouds, a few birds flying by, beneath the lush green mountains and dense forests, the fields are a golden expanse, the village road, wide as a zhang, stretches to the horizon, where a few homes can be faintly seen.

No!

Suddenly, a loud bang echoed in Qin Cheng's head, followed by a wave of dizziness. Countless pieces of information exploded in his mind all at once, sending sharp pains through his nerves. Qin Cheng clutched his head, pressing it against the ground, enduring in silence.

Could it be that you are not dead yet?

Have I really arrived in another era?

The information flow that just exploded in his mind revealed to him his current identity

"Damn it, who are you to meddle in my affairs! I don't care if he was struck by lightning; all I know is that he has ruined my future!" In a fit of rage, Dong Chu could no longer consider that if things were truly as *Tu* *Shu* suggested, his future would not be affected, because in that case, Qin Cheng would no longer be considered a deserter.

However, Dong Chu did not think much of it and charged straight towards Qin Cheng. Stand up? I will just knock you down again! Dong Chu thought to himself.

Qin Cheng felt somewhat awkward. Although he was not an impulsive person, his more than ten years in the underworld had taught him to remain calm. However, when a man is confronted with issues of dignity, it is often difficult to choose between impulsiveness and restraint

Now, Qin Cheng intends to rectify this mistake of his

He chuckled to himself, thinking that he, the underworld overlord of a province, had not died in countless confrontations with rivals, nor in the brutal underground fighting arenas of his early years, but ultimately could not escape death at the hands of the police

"Qin Cheng! Damn it, I've finally found you!" The first to dismount was a robust young man, looking very strong and powerful. He dismounted and, taking two steps at a time, quickly crossed over to Qin Cheng. Without saying a word, he grabbed Qin Cheng by the collar and lifted him up, glaring at him. His earlier anger erupted like a volcano upon seeing Qin Cheng, the culprit behind it all.

He had clearly fallen into an ambush, betrayed by the woman he loved most, surrounded by the police. Qin Cheng still remembered the countless bullets flying towards him; he should have been shot to pieces long ago

Qin Cheng shook his head, seemingly believing that a person like him should go to hell after death

"Squad Leader, although Qin Cheng has made a mistake, General Li has already ordered him to be taken back to the military camp for punishment. You should not make things difficult for him! How can he withstand your blows? Look at this large tree; its trunk is somewhat scorched, and Qin Cheng's face is also pitch black, presumably struck by lightning, not intentional... Ah..." Before Wu Daliang could finish his words, he was struck in the right waist by a sharp elbow from Dong Chu. Then, Dong Chu leaned to the right, twisted his left arm, and delivered another elbow strike to Wu Daliang's head. Wu Daliang let out a miserable scream and was then sent flying, crashing to the ground and losing consciousness.

Fortunately, it seemed that Dong Chu, still in a fit of anger, had no intention of allowing Qin Cheng to remain embarrassed any longer. With a sharp "slap," he struck Qin Cheng again, then with a wave of his arm, he threw Qin Cheng out. At the same time, Dong Chu's right foot shot out like lightning, landing a kick to Qin Cheng's stomach while he was still in mid-air.

He realized that he had just come out of a faint, likely awakening from a prolonged state of unconsciousness. His body was still quite stiff, and he had little strength. In this situation, Qin Cheng could not guarantee that he had a hundred percent confidence in being able to deal with the person in front of him, who seemed capable of lifting him effortlessly with just one hand. Furthermore, behind him stood three soldiers.

In an instant, sweat poured down like rain

Seek death

These three soldiers, if the information in Qin Cheng's mind is correct, are all subordinates of Dong Chu and also comrades from his own unit. Facing four opponents, all of whom are soldiers, and considering that he is currently unable to exert even ten percent of his strength, Qin Cheng does not believe he can gain any advantage.

Looking around for a week, would hell appear like this?

Is this heaven

"Get lost!" Dong Chu, who was being held by Wu Daliang, was instantly furious and tried to break free. However, after two attempts, he found himself unable to escape, as Wu Daliang was already a seasoned veteran and had some skills in hand-to-hand combat. "Wu Daliang, get away from me! Don't go looking for trouble! Are you tired of living? How dare you interfere in my affairs?"

"You filthy little bastard, I cannot coexist with you. Today, I must take you down!" Dong Chu shouted loudly, as if this were the only way to alleviate the hatred in his heart.

Qin Cheng stood quietly in place, his gaze coldly fixed on Dong Chu, his brows filled with disdain. As Dong Chu approached, a cruel arc finally appeared at the corner of Qin Cheng's mouth

"Qin Cheng, you son of a dog, you have made me lose all face in front of General Li. My future has been ruined because of you! You coward, you weakling, I am going to take you down today!" Dong Chu cursed as he rushed over, lifting his right foot, ready to kick Qin Cheng.

Before he had time to think further, Qin Cheng heard the sound of hooves approaching rapidly from a distance. He raised his head, and four imposing cavalrymen clad in dark armor, each wielding a long sword at their waist, immediately came into his view

Dong Chu was puzzled to see Qin Cheng still standing. Not to mention anything else, Dong Chu was well aware of the power of the kick he had delivered to Qin Cheng's abdomen. Even a soldier with decent skills and physique should have been unable to get up after such a fierce blow. How could this usually "weak" Qin Cheng still be on his feet?

Qin Cheng was thrown nearly a zhang away without a word, landing heavily on the ground. The intense pain in his abdomen made Qin Cheng realize that the man before him possessed considerable strength. However, it seemed that the kick from Dong Chu to Qin Cheng's abdomen accelerated his blood circulation, or perhaps it was the anger in Qin Cheng's heart that quickened his heartbeat. In any case, Qin Cheng felt his body recovering at a rapid pace, as if in the next moment, he would regain a small portion of his strength. Nevertheless, it appeared that the kick from Dong Chu had indeed stimulated Qin Cheng's blood flow, or it was the fury within him that hastened his heart's rhythm. Ultimately, Qin Cheng sensed that his body was swiftly recuperating, and it seemed that he would soon recover a fraction of his strength.

I am still called Qin Cheng, an ordinary garrison infantryman from the border command during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty

In his past life, the most important person in Qin Cheng's life was his mother, who raised him single-handedly from a young age. Anyone who disrespected his mother, even verbally, would make Qin Cheng ensure they paid a heavy price

With a loud slap, Dong Chu held Qin Cheng in one hand and without hesitation delivered a resounding slap to his face, the crisp sound echoing for several dozen meters.

Just based on you

"Grandma! Can you really just call me by my full name?" The young sergeant Dong Chu, already filled with rage, became even angrier at that moment

However, soon Qin Cheng discovered an awkward problem, which caused him to retract the foot he had just prepared to lift without leaving a trace

Qin Cheng stared blankly at these individuals, as memories that had just surfaced in his mind were suddenly awakened. This person seems to be called that, and that person appears to be named this. Hmm, if my memory serves me correctly, it should be like this

Qincheng's eyes suddenly narrowed, and at that moment he realized that he seemed to have made a mistake. When he was being glared at and had his collar lifted off the ground, he should not have first confirmed the other person's identity or done anything else, but rather should have addressed a more urgent issue.

Qin Cheng has always been quick to acknowledge his mistakes and rectify them in his previous life, a skill honed through his more than ten years in the underworld.

When Dong Chu finished dealing with Wu Daliang at https://www.hetushu.com, he turned around with a face full of anger, ready to teach a lesson to Qin Cheng, who was lying on the ground. However, Qin Cheng was already standing in front of Dong Chu as if nothing had happened.

In order to verify the information that had suddenly appeared in his mind and to clarify his current situation, Qin Cheng, without paying attention to being harshly lifted by someone, tentatively spoke up, trying to probe before the young sergeant could take any further action.

This is quite a predicament

Qin Cheng felt that his head was even more dizzy

Wu Daliang, while holding Dong Chu, signaled to the other two sentinels. However, these two soldiers, who had long struggled under Dong Chu's tyranny, lacked the courage to confront him at that moment. They merely pretended to look around at the scenery, ignoring Wu Daliang's plea for help

"Squad Leader, stop hitting him! Qin Cheng is weak and looks like he’s fallen ill again. If you keep hitting him, he will really be ruined!" Wu Daliang exclaimed urgently while trying his best to hold onto Dong Chu. As an experienced soldier, he understood better than anyone the kind of devastating combat power Dong Chu possessed and what it could mean for Qin Cheng, this 'frail' young man. He himself was not even sure he could withstand Dong Chu's full-force strikes, let alone Qin Cheng, who had always been average in both skill and physique.

After a long time, just as Qin Cheng was about to be unable to breathe, the pain in his nerves gradually began to fade. He slowly raised his head, his face filled with astonishment and shock

Are these genuine ancient people before us

Wasted my efforts

When Qin Cheng woke up, his head was throbbing with pain. As he opened his eyes, his vision was still quite blurry. After shaking his heavy and dazed head, he finally began to see the world in front of him clearly

It seems to be the case, this should be called, time travel
