Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chapter 79 Martial Arts Master

Chen Hengyi followed the route he remembered to the woodland, but what he saw was a patch of logging marks. If he remembered correctly, this place used to be a grove of lychee trees, which had been there since he was a child.

He used to come here from time to time to pick and eat lychees.

The road leading up the mountain has been widened into a very wide mountain road, which must be the work of an excavator.

At the end of the road, Chen Hengyi saw two excavators slowly moving forward, and many trees were being cut down and lying on both sides of the road.

In addition, some people were arguing.

Workers wielding chainsaws and axes, and villagers filled with rage.

However, these villagers were few in number and were blocked without any way to stop them, especially since the workers had axes and chainsaws.

Chen Hengyi noticed that some of the workers had tattoos and no signs of labor on their bodies... He thought these people looked like gangsters mixed in with the crowd.

Chen Hengyi's arrival went unnoticed.

He calculated the distance and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, it seems we didn't dig anything."

Walking to the side, I saw several mounds of earth not far from the two excavators.

The next moment, Chen Hengyi took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, trying to calm himself down, muttering to himself, "Just a little bit more..."

All I could hear was the sound of people cursing at each other.

"Fuck your mother! That bastard, your father wasn't even born when I was peeing here!"

"What did he say about me? Get him!"

"Go to hell! You capitalists, you think you can bully us ordinary people like this!"

"What? We're following the rules and regulations. If you're so capable, go find the person who signed this."

These people started hurling insults at each other, and their emotions were escalating, threatening to come to blows.

Chen Hengyi stepped forward and asked loudly, "Who is in charge?"

His voice was loud, but no one paid any attention to it; it was quickly drowned out by the noise of the crowd.

At this moment, Chen Hengyi saw that the two excavators were still going uphill, and there were several graves on the mountainside less than 200 meters ahead, where his family members were buried.

Chen Hengyi didn't want to see anything bad happen. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he simply walked over the arguing crowd and rushed towards the two excavators.

Soon, two tattooed workers who had been watching from the sidelines, wielding axes and glaring menacingly, blocked their way: "What are you doing? Running around like that, you'll get hit by the machines, and we won't be responsible!"

The two men tried to stop him, but Chen Hengyi had no interest in talking to them properly. He raised his hand and slapped them twice. With two loud slaps, the two men were knocked to the ground, their faces bearing two bright red handprints.

"Get out!" he shouted angrily, rushing directly under the excavator.

The two excavator operators, seeing this, glared and shouted, "What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?"

Chen Hengyi uttered two words: "Stop." His tone was firm and carried an unquestionable attitude.

"Who the hell do you think you are? You think you can just stop whenever you want?" the operator inside the excavator continued to curse.

Chen Hengyi frowned slightly, said no more nonsense, and leaped up, slamming his fist into the driver's door in the driver's incredulous gaze.

With a loud bang, the iron door was slammed and twisted, leaving a clear fist mark.

The driver in the cab looked horrified and uttered two "you"s, unable to form a complete sentence.

Then, Chen Hengyi yanked the twisted iron door of the driver's cab, and the door was slammed to the ground.

He uttered two words again: "Stop."

This time, the driver was very obedient, no longer displaying his previous arrogance. Not only did this one stop, but the other excavator, which witnessed everything, also shut down in time.

Clearly, these two were completely at ease.

Seeing that the excavator had stopped, Chen Hengyi did not make things difficult for the two men.

He turned and jumped off the excavator. The arguing crowd on the other side also stopped arguing. Someone recognized him: "Hey? Isn't that Hengyi? How... how did he do that?"

Everyone saw the twisted excavator door on the ground, but couldn't understand how it was done.

Is that fist mark even possible for a human?

"Could it be that he hasn't left the house these past few years because he's been secretly practicing martial arts?!" someone suddenly wondered.

"Maybe... his grandfather used to travel around performing operas, maybe he passed down some skills or knowledge..."

Chen Hengyi faced the group of workers, his gaze sweeping across them until it locked onto a middle-aged, overweight man who was spinning a pair of walnuts in his hand and whose clothes and appearance were noticeably different from those around him.

Chen Hengyi walked straight over and asked, "Are you the person in charge here?"

The man's face twitched, he swallowed hard, and coughed twice: "My surname is Lu. Brother, may I ask you—"

Upon hearing the other party's introduction, Chen Hengyi immediately kicked out, instantly sending the middle-aged man flying like a football into the tree trunk behind him.

"oops..."

With a thud, the other person's back slammed into the tree trunk, their body instantly stiffening like a bowed shrimp, their face contorted in obvious pain.

"I, I..."

After Chen Hengyi kicked out, the tattooed workers with different auras immediately grabbed their tools, surrounded him angrily, and shouted, "Who do you think you are? Are you looking for death?"

Chen Hengyi glanced at it and scoffed, "Oh? So you're a gangster. Didn't the anti-gang campaign reach you?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

Just as Chen Hengyi was about to make another move, the fat man he had kicked earlier, clutching his waist, staggered over, forcing a smile: "This... brother, I wonder what we've done to offend you?"

Chen Hengyi remained completely calm despite being surrounded by armed men.

He didn't even need to draw his gun to deal with this group.

"Do you know that I haven't signed off on this land yet? And what about those graves on top? You're planning to fill them in, aren't you?"

As Chen Hengyi spoke, he placed his palm on the other person's shoulder and slowly applied pressure.

The middle-aged fat man's breathing quickened, and he forced a forced smile, his face contorted. "It's...it's your village chief who said that every villager has signed their agreement, and that legally speaking, this entire mountain belongs to our company, Juede Co., Ltd. But it seems there's some misunderstanding. Brother, perhaps we can talk this over."

As he spoke, the man took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and tried to hand it to Chen Hengyi.

Chen Hengyi, however, showed no appreciation whatsoever. He looked the other man in the eye and said, word by word, "I said, get lost."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person in front of him suddenly choked, coughed violently, and a few drops of bright red liquid dripped from his nose.

Then the workers around them who were tattooing dragons and tigers also changed their expressions.

The middle-aged, overweight man quickly wiped himself and said hastily, "Okay, since there are still unresolved issues with the contract, let's stop work for now..."

We'll take our leave now.

After saying that, the man immediately told the workers present to evacuate.

Chen Hengyi watched as the other person's feet left the ground, clearly being supported by others. He thought to himself, "Although I held back a bit of force with that kick, the fact that the other person could still stand up is quite a talent."

Just as Chen Hengyi looked away, the fat man immediately vomited two mouthfuls of blood, his eyes widening in terror: "Quick, get an ambulance!!!"

Then, these people started running.

As soon as those people left, the villagers gathered around, praising Chen Hengyi for his ability and saying they wanted to join him in protesting.

Chen Hengyi remained indifferent, not saying a word. He glanced at the two excavators still there and walked down the mountain without looking back.

When Chen Hengyi's family land was forcibly seized, these people, though not involved, did not say a word to him.

Over the past few years, whenever Chen Hengyi appeared, these people looked at him as if he were a dirty thing. Perhaps the rumors about him being a jinx had been taken seriously... In any case, Chen Hengyi would be unhappy if he said even one more word to them.

Although he managed to stop the construction this time, the problem remains unresolved.

When Chen Hengyi returned home, the village chief and his two sons had already disappeared. What he found most unbearable was that the excavator was heading directly towards the burial place of his family.

"Jude Co., Ltd., is that it?" A cold glint flashed in Chen Hengyi's eyes. "No matter who you are, none of you will have an easy time."

At this moment, he had already decided that he would not only resolve this matter, but also eliminate all those people he disliked, ensuring that none of them could escape.

The goal is to achieve clarity of thought.
