Qi Tongwei is reborn, and he changes his fate by striking the bell

Chapter 186 A powerful figure

Qi Tongwei never dreamed that his life would end in this way.

He, the Secretary of Handong Province, a once powerful figure, was trapped in a fire. The raging flames licked his body, bringing him endless pain, but he couldn't even scream. His consciousness gradually blurred, and he seemed to see his younger self, full of vigor and vitality, shouting "Fuck God, I want to defy the will of heaven and change my fate!"

Then, he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, Qi Tongwei found himself lying on a hard wooden bed. The worn-out bed board made a teeth-grinding "creaking" sound, and the surroundings were unfamiliar, with a musty smell in the air.

"Where am I?"

Qi Tongwei struggled to sit up, but found his body extremely heavy, as if he was restrained by something. He looked down and was stunned.

This is not his body!

This body was thin and short, with dark and rough skin and calloused palms, which were obviously the result of years of hard work. What was even more difficult for him to accept was that this body was obviously much younger than him, no more than twenty years old.

"Am I reborn?"

As soon as this thought came to mind, Qi Tongwei rejected it. Although he did not believe in ghosts and gods, he also did not believe in reincarnation.

"Could it be time travel?"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Qi Tongwei felt a sharp pain in his head. Then, a huge stream of information poured into his mind, giving him a splitting headache.

It took a long time for Qi Tongwei to recover. He closed his eyes and carefully digested the information in his mind, his face gradually becoming ugly.

He did travel through time, to a place called Tianyuan Continent, a world where martial arts is respected and people can gain the power to destroy the world through practice.

And his current identity is a young man named Qi Tongwei.

"Same name?" Qi Tongwei smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling mixed emotions.

According to his memory, Qi Tongwei was an orphan who grew up in the village and suffered from contempt and bullying. His only relative was an old hunter in the village.

The old hunter was once a scout in the imperial army, but later retired due to injury and returned to the village to live in seclusion. He taught Qi Tongwei some simple martial arts and wilderness survival skills, which became Qi Tongwei's only support in this world.

However, the old hunter died accidentally during a hunting trip not long ago, leaving Qi Tongwei alone.

"What a terrible start!"

Qi Tongwei sighed, his heart filled with confusion and anxiety. He didn't know why he came to this world, nor did he know how to survive in this world.

Just then, he suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from outside the door.

"Qi Tongwei, you bastard, get out here!" The hoarse voice was as piercing as a broken gong, accompanied by a violent knock on the door, which woke Qi Tongwei from his confused thoughts.

He slowly sat up by the edge of the bed, frowning. The one shouting outside the door was the village chief's son, Liu Ergou, who relied on his family's influence to bully the original owner.

"The original owner of this body is really...cowardly." Qi Tongwei whispered to himself, with a surge of nameless anger in his heart. As the secretary of Handong Province, how could he have suffered such humiliation?

"Bang!" The door was kicked open and Liu Ergou swaggered in with his two followers, with contemptuous smiles on their fleshy faces.

"Hey, isn't this our Young Master Qi? Why, you're not going to pretend to be dead today?" Liu Ergou looked at Qi Tongwei with a sidelong glance, his tone full of sarcasm.

Qi Tongwei looked at him coldly without saying a word. Although he was thin, he had experienced many ups and downs, and the majesty in his eyes was still something that people dared not underestimate.

Liu Ergou felt frightened by his gaze and shouted fiercely, "What are you looking at? If you look at me again, I will dig your eyeballs out!"

"Brother Ergou, why waste time talking to him? Just do it!" A follower shouted, rolling up his sleeves and ready to step forward.

"Wait!" Liu Ergou suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him, with a sinister smile on his face, "I heard that the old hunter died and left behind a lot of good things. Today, you can treat it as a filial piety to me. How about it, Master Qi?"

Qi Tongwei sneered in his heart. Liu Ergou was really after the old hunter's relics. He remembered that the old hunter once said that he had something to leave for Qi Tongwei, and he could not use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Where is the thing?" Qi Tongwei asked calmly, his tone so calm that it was frightening.

Liu Ergou was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting him to agree so readily, and then he burst into laughter: "I knew you were a smart guy! The thing is hidden under your bed, take it out yourself!"

Qi Tongwei slowly walked to the bed, bent down, and reached under the bed.

When Liu Ergou and the other two saw this, greedy looks appeared on their faces, as if they had seen countless gold and silver treasures.

However, the next second, their smiles froze on their faces.

Because what Qi Tongwei took out from under the bed was not gold or silver, but a... brick?

Without waiting for the three to react, Qi Tongwei suddenly stood up and smashed the brick in his hand towards Liu Ergou's head like lightning!

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, Liu Ergou screamed, covered his head and fell to the ground, blood oozing out from between his fingers.

"You, you dare to hit me?!" Liu Ergou lay on the ground, his face full of disbelief. He never thought that Qi Tongwei, who was usually timid, would dare to attack him today!

"Hit you?" Qi Tongwei sneered, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "I'm going to kill you today!"

As he said that, he raised the brick and threw it at Liu Ergou again!

"Stop!" At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the door, and then a tall figure appeared at the door.

……

"Stop!" A loud voice exploded in the chaotic yard, like a bolt of thunder out of the blue, shocking Liu Ergou's two followers so much that they took a half step back at the same time.

The man who came was the village chief Liu Changgui, a tall, middle-aged man with a face full of flesh. His eyes were cloudy and droopy, as if a drop of oil could be squeezed out at any time.

"Qi Tongwei, you little bastard, you actually dared to commit murder and injure people in front of me, this is simply outrageous!" Liu Changgui became furious when he saw Liu Ergou lying in a pool of blood, and pointed at Qi Tongwei's nose and cursed.

Qi Tongwei was not afraid at all. He threw the brick in his hand to the ground. The sound of "bang" was particularly harsh in the silent yard.

"Liu Ergou brought people into my house and wanted to steal my things. I was just defending myself!" Qi Tongwei looked at Liu Changgui coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he could see through all his disguise and hypocrisy.

"You're talking nonsense!" Liu Changgui was panicked by his gaze and shouted fiercely, "Er Gou just wanted to ask you if there is anything the old hunter left behind that you need help with. How could you do such a cruel thing?!"

"Help? I think he wants to take advantage of the situation!" Qi Tongwei sneered and ruthlessly exposed his lies.

The villagers around were all talking in low voices. Although they were afraid of Liu Changgui's power, they all knew what kind of person Liu Ergou was. He often bullied men and women. In this case, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Liu Ergou was in the wrong.

Seeing that the surrounding villagers all looked at Qi Tongwei with sympathy and support, Liu Changgui became even more angry. He pointed at Qi Tongwei's nose and cursed: "You little bastard, don't think I don't know what you are thinking! The old hunter is dead, and you want to take his property for yourself. Don't you think about who you are and how can you deserve it?!"

"Whether I am worthy or not is not your turn to judge!" Qi Tongwei looked directly into Liu Changgui's eyes and said word by word, "I tell you, I will not give up a single cent of what the old hunter left behind! If you know what's good for you, get out of here and don't get in the way!"

"You..." Liu Changgui was so angry at his words that he was shaking all over, and his fingers pointing at Qi Tongwei were trembling. He never thought that this usually timid boy would dare to talk back to him in front of so many people today, and dared to tell him to get out!

"Okay, very good!" Liu Changgui took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said sinisterly, "Qi Tongwei, just wait, this matter is not over yet!"

After saying that, he helped up Liu Ergou, who was still wailing on the ground, and with the help of two followers, he left Qi Tongwei's house in shame.

Seeing this, the surrounding villagers also dispersed. Only a few villagers who had a good relationship with the old hunter stayed to comfort Qi Tongwei, and then went home.

In a blink of an eye, Qi Tongwei was the only one left in the yard. He looked at the mess on the ground with mixed feelings.

He knew that Liu Changgui and his son would never give up. This incident was just the beginning...

As night fell, Qi Tongwei ate a few bites of food hastily and went to bed early.

He lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, replaying what had happened today in his mind.

"This Liu Changgui is definitely not a good guy!" Qi Tongwei thought to himself, "It seems that I have to make plans early!"

He remembered that the old hunter once said that he had something left for himself and must not use it unless absolutely necessary.

"What is it?" Qi Tongwei was full of curiosity. He decided to go to the old hunter's room tomorrow and look carefully to see if he could find the thing the old hunter mentioned.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from outside the door, as if someone was quietly approaching his room...

Qi Tongwei jumped up from the bed alertly, picked up the hatchet beside his pillow, and walked to the door with light footsteps. With the faint moonlight outside the window, he saw a dark shadow swaying outside the door.

"Who?!" Qi Tongwei asked in a low voice, with a layer of cold sweat on his palms.
