With the Blade

That’s right, having such a sturdy build, neither working nor laboring, and running such a long way just to hunt a wild chicken, isn’t that idleness?

"You don’t understand, that wild chicken... forget it, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you."

Du Chengfeng shook his head but then gulped down a bowl of water, and finding it not enough, he simply picked up the bucket and poured the entire contents into his stomach.

This scene left Yu Laopher completely dumbfounded; he drank about a bucket a day, but this strongman drank it all in one go.

"Don’t worry, I won’t drink it for free."

Under Yu Laopher’s astonished gaze, the strongman named Du Chengfeng waved his hand.

"As for money... sorry, I don’t have any either. How about I do you a favor instead? Tell me what you need, and I’ll do it for you."

"Is this... appropriate?"

Yu Laopher couldn’t help but hesitate.

"Anything?"

"Anything."

Du Chengfeng nodded.

"Just speak up, there shouldn’t be anything I can’t do now."

"Well..."

Yu Laopher thought for a moment.

Originally, he wanted to ask if this strongman could help the Li Family Village deal with those few road-blocking bandits since those bandits had been troubling the village for a while. And this strongman, who carried a knife, seemed like he could handle a fight with them, perhaps even take them down on the spot.

Yet the words that came out were completely different.

"Can you help me clear that mountain?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Yu Laopher wanted to slap himself. Even if this strongman boasted about being able to do anything, asking such a ridiculous thing directly was somewhat out of line.

But just as Yu Laopher was prepared to change the topic, the strongman named Du Chengfeng nodded at him.

"Just a small matter."

Saying so, the strongman named Du Chengfeng led Yu Laopher all the way to the foot of the mountain.

Then, facing the mountaintop, he drew the large knife from his back.

"Here we go!"

Boom—

With a roar of the blade, the enormous mountaintop actually collapsed into rubble, completely flattened.

Is this something a human could do?

Perhaps the impact in front of him was too overwhelming; Yu Laopher felt a little dizzy. To flatten a mountaintop with just a blade, it seemed to defy his sense of reality.

"See, I told you it was a small matter, right?"

The strongman named Du Chengfeng chuckled.

"But such things are really too easy..."

"Uh, I meant clearing the mountain."

Still a bit dazed, Yu Laopher spoke instinctively.

"Like turning it into a field, these are all rocks..."

"That’s simple too."

The strongman named Du Chengfeng shook his head with a smile.

"Isn’t it just turning it into a field... huh?"

The raised blade froze in mid-air.

The large knife hesitated for about a quarter of an hour, and even the dizzy Yu Laopher had come back to his senses—yet in Yu Laopher’s view, the once all-powerful strongman, who could cut through mountains with a single strike, now looked increasingly uneasy, his brow furrowing tighter and tighter.

"Um, warrior."

Yu Laopher’s expression grew more awkward.

"What you’ve already done is amazing; I was just talking nonsense earlier..."

"Don’t speak, let me have a moment of silence."

So saying, the man named Du Chengfeng furrowed his brow, his face almost twisted into a knot, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.

Then he simply set the big knife aside and squatted on the ground.

Faced with the scattered vegetation and rubble, he continuously scratched his head.
