Chapter 2: The Beginning of the Nightmare

The remaining few wicked slaves stared in disbelief as the scarred villain slowly fell, each of them looking utterly astonished and unable to believe what they were witnessing

Regarding the miserable state of his father, Lei Jincai, although Lei Yu had noticed it early on, he could only feel anxious in his heart. The sudden movement of that scarred villain was indeed not to be underestimated. Although Lei Yu immediately stood up, he found himself powerless to take any action. It was only now that Lei Yu was able to slightly catch his breath.

"You little brat, just based on you!" The roar of Thunderstorm was clearly heard by those few wicked slaves. Although they were initially taken aback, upon seeing Thunderstorm, who was holding a carrying pole and had a frame that seemed like a gust of wind could blow him away, they couldn't help but burst into wild laughter.

Several gentlemen, if killing me would bring you relief, then go ahead and kill me, I only ask that you do not make things difficult for my two sons Under the brutal assault of the wicked thugs, Lei Jincai's hands remained tightly clasped around the right leg of the scarred villain, despite the blood gushing from his mouth, his pleas continued unabated

"I want to hit, and I want to take things too! Old man, if you don't let go, be careful that I might just beat you to death as well!" That scarred villain raised his left foot and aimed it at Lei Jincai on the ground, delivering several heavy kicks. It was not just that; the remaining few villains also pounced on Lei Jincai, punching and kicking him. Even Lei Jie, not far away, took quite a beating in this flurry of fists and feet. However, the little guy was quite resilient; despite being bruised and battered, he stubbornly held back his tears.

Regarding his father, although Lei Yu often contradicts him, he absolutely does not allow outsiders to harm his father. Whether it is his father Lei Jincai or his younger brother Lei Jie, if anyone dares to touch a single hair on them, Lei Yu would risk his life to ensure that the perpetrator suffers. This is the nature of Lei Yu

With a roar, a thunderstorm struck, and a heavy beam came crashing down directly towards that scarred villain.

With a sudden gasp, the scarred villain, in a fit of rage, was about to deal with the old man Lei Jincai first. However, unexpectedly, a flash of cold light appeared, followed by a chilling sensation in his throat. The scarred villain, finally unwilling, slowly collapsed. It turned out that at this moment, Lei Yu had seized the opportunity to approach and struck the villain's throat directly with an axe.

"And the little bookworm, wants to kill me! Get away from me!" As the thunderstorm approached, the scarred villain did not dodge at all; instead, he raised his fist and struck at the thunderstorm with a powerful punch. The wind from the punch howled, creating a series of sounds that pierced the air. Given the situation, it seemed that this scarred villain had already been consumed by genuine anger, intent on destroying the thunderstorm with this one blow.

Father! With a thunderous roar of the storm, he seized the hatchet he usually used for chopping firewood from the corner of the wall and lunged fiercely at the scarred villain.

Ah... ah... Lei Jincai's health was already poor, and that scarred brute was both strong and powerful. After a few kicks, how could he possibly endure it? He couldn't help but cry out in agony. At this moment, Lei Jie saw his father in such a state and couldn't help but crawl over, lying beside Lei Jincai and crying uncontrollably

Ah! At that moment, the scarred villain suddenly let out a terrible scream, and the punch he had thrown abruptly halted, his momentum dissipating entirely. It turned out that at this moment, Lei Jincai, seeing his son Lei Yu in danger, summoned an unknown courage and bit down hard on the calf of the scarred villain. With this bite, Lei Jincai exerted all the strength he could muster; even though the scarred villain was quite skilled, it was still exceedingly difficult for him to endure such excruciating pain.

After all, Lei Yu is merely the son of an ordinary woodcutter, while this scarred villain, as the head servant of Lord Wang's household, must possess some martial skills; otherwise, he would not have been able to attain this position. Moreover, these wicked servants often bully others with their power, and their fighting experience is certainly far greater than that of Lei Yu. How could Lei Yu possibly be a match for that scarred villain

Hmph! With such little skill, you dare to challenge me!" The scarred villain let out a cold snort, followed by a disdainful smile. He reached out with one hand and effortlessly caught the pole that Lei Yu had hurled at him. Then, with a slight shake of his hand, he directly sent Lei Yu flying away.

"Kid, if you really want to seek death, then come on! Let's see what you're capable of!" The scarred thug at the forefront stomped heavily on the already fallen Lei Jincai a few more times, displaying a deliberate intent to provoke, as if he didn't even regard Lei Yu, who was holding a carrying pole, in the slightest.

The thunderstorm, having fallen heavily to the ground, still glared with wide-open eyes, as if blood were about to drip from them. Gently wiping the blood from the corner of his lips and using one hand to support himself on the ground, the thunderstorm slowly stood up again

"Go! Heizi, don't worry about me, take your brother and run as far as you can! Never come back!" At this critical moment of life and death, Lei Jincai, who was originally on the verge of collapse, surprisingly managed to support himself and stand up. He forcefully pushed Lei Yu, who was holding Lei Jie, out the door, while he himself closed the door behind him, leaning against the wooden door of the cabin, trapping those few wicked slaves inside the cabin. Originally on the verge of collapse, Lei Jincai surprisingly managed to support himself and stand up, forcefully pushing Lei Yu, who was holding Lei Jie, out the door, while he himself closed the door behind him, leaning against the wooden door of the cabin, trapping those few wicked slaves inside the cabin.

Taking advantage of the fact that these wicked servants had not yet reacted, Lei Yu hurriedly picked up his younger brother, Lei Jie, and grasped the wrist of his father, Lei Jincai, who was on the verge of death, intending to flee out the door. However, even though Lei Yu was a mountain dweller with some strength, how could he possibly manage to run with both his father and younger brother in tow

With a thunderous crash, the frail body of the thunderstorm slammed directly against the wall of the wooden cabin, producing a deafening sound that seemed to shake the entire house. The snow accumulated on the roof was sent swirling into the air, demonstrating the tremendous force contained in the slight tremor of that scarred villain.

"I can't tell from your build that you can take a hit!" The scarred villain let out a cold laugh, casually tossing aside the pole he had snatched from Lei Yu, and was about to leap into the air, kicking at Lei Yu. However, at that moment, his entire body felt heavy, and he couldn't take off at all.

Upon witnessing this situation, how could the thunderstorm endure? At this moment, the thunderstorm's eyes had long turned crimson, and the fury within those eyes seemed ready to devour anyone in its path

This scarred, wicked bandit was born a thief, and throughout his life, he could be said to have killed countless people. Yet, unexpectedly, at this moment, he met his end at the hands of a mountain dweller who possessed no martial skills whatsoever. Even in his final moments, he was unwilling to accept his fate. However, regardless of his reluctance, he ultimately met his demise

"Old man, take whatever you want from this house, just don't hurt my son!" The desperate plea echoed in the ears of the scarred villain, as at that moment, Lei Jincai lunged forward and clutched the villain's right leg.

"Hit him! Hit him hard! Kill this old bastard!" Seeing Lei Jincai like this, the scarred villain was also filled with rage at that moment. It should be noted that before this scarred villain came to work as a servant in Lord Wang's household, he was a ruthless character who would kill without blinking an eye, and had never endured such humiliation.

"Old man! Leave my son alone; if you want to hit someone, hit me instead!" At that moment, Lei Jincai did not know where he found the strength, perhaps it was due to his fierce protective instincts. Although he continued to plead desperately, his body was being beaten to a pulp, yet his hands remained tightly wrapped around the right leg of the scarred villain, refusing to loosen their grip in the slightest.
