Chapter One: The Man from Hell

carlet digits of the electronic clock on the wall, falling into deep contemplation."August 26, 2008, 1:43 AM!"His heart pounded, his lips moving soundlessly as he muttered a few incoherent words. The..."Hey, wake up, shameless man, just play dead for me!"

Yang Qingqing helped the unconscious youth up and pinched his acupoints with force. Her cold voice now had a hint of panic.

"Miss Yang, nothing will happen, right The chairman is still angry about the last time you kicked someone."

"

I think it's best to send him to the hospital right away.

"

One of the bodyguards said anxiously.

"Oh no, wouldn't this fellow be truly dead from the fall" Yang Qingqing frowned, her willow brows furrowed. She leaned in by the youth's nostrils, probing for breath. There was no warmth at all.

Lying in the arms of his loved ones was Qin Yi, the 18-year-old son of Wu County's prominent wealthy man, Qin Wenren. As the eldest son, he relied on his parents' influence and spent his days at bars and brawls, neglecting his studies.

Yang Qingqing was also unlucky. She came to Wu County to relax, but she didn't expect to meet such a second-generation ancestor who wanted to use her friends as soon as they met.

This isn't like looking for a lantern in a latrine, hoping to find some dung (death), is it

Yang Qingqing She is the eldest daughter of the renowned Yang family in Shijing, the capital of Jiangdong. Known as the "Fragile Egg Overlord," she has a fiery temper and a strong sense of justice. Her grappling skills are formidable; even several burly men wouldn't stand a chance against her.

Even if Qin Yi were the son of Heaven himself, he'd still get a beating.

Then Yang Qingqing directly threw him over her shoulder with all her might, smashing the ignorant fool to pieces. She kicked twice, and he met his maker.

Seeing that someone was about to die, Yang Qingqing also panicked!

Don't say he's just a local thug, even an ordinary hooligan. A few sweet words and two hands, it wouldn't be a capital offense, right

"Hurry, call Mr. Qin! Young Master is about to get into trouble."

"If we control these people, it'll be a huge problem later on. We can't afford to take the blame for this."

The bar owner, holding his phone up, urgently urged the security guard on duty.

Most of the people in the bar knew this guy. For a moment, there were ambulances, police calls, and a lot of noise.

"

What are you all yelling about Get out of my way.

"

Yang Qingqing couldn't worry about anything else. She pressed on Qin Yi's human acupoint, covering his mouth with one hand and helping him breathe.

Wow!

The colored lights emitted a faint electrical hum and flickered on and off, causing another wave of panic among the crowd.

"The fragrance is warm and inviting, as delicate as a orchid!" Qin Yi's nostrils twitched slightly, his lips seemed to carry a dreamlike breath.

This fragrance is like a call from the ancient times, awakening his slumbering memories.

"Who Where am I"

Qin Yi frowned slightly, slowly opening one eye. He silently and cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

It's so noisy, it sounds like a bar!

Before me stood a woman of striking beauty. Her oval face was pale and smooth, without a hint of makeup. Her features were delicate yet elegant, refined without being common.

Qin Yi's eyes quietly swept over the crowd around him, and finally his gaze fixed on the scarlet digits of the electronic clock on the wall, falling into deep contemplation.

"August 26, 2008, 1:43 AM!"

His heart pounded, his lips moving soundlessly as he muttered a few incoherent words. The tension in his nerves eased, replaced by boundless joy.

"Alas, I'm back. Back to 2008 summer of my previous life!" Qin Yi took a deep breath and smiled knowingly.

He remembered, that summer when he was 18 years old in his past life, he got into a fight at a bar because he was drunk and harassed the person in front of him, and was knocked unconscious.

"You useless piece of trash, don't you dare die!" Yang Qingqing wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and muttered under her breath.

"To actually dare to mock this deity as trash!" Qin Yi's eyes flashed with a cold smile. He decided to punish this barbarian slightly.

Qin Yi's smile was just caught by Yang Qingqing.

"Huh, this guy woke up"

Before Qin Yi could even savor his victory, he suddenly grabbed Yang Qingqing and leaned in, pinning her down tightly.

"That scum dared to feign death! Such a lowlife deserves to be killed immediately." Yang Qingqing's heart was filled with rage.

To my frustration, this guy somehow managed to strike me on the waist. In an instant, I felt all my energy drained away. My signature grappling techniques became useless.

"Quick, drag him away!" The guards by the side snapped back to their senses and swarmed forward, hauling Qin Yi away.

Qin Yi smiled slightly and didn't resist, allowing the crowd to restrain him in the chair.

"You scoundrel!" Yang Qingqing calmed down, her eyes red with anger, and she rushed towards Qin Yi with a punch. She hit him hard in the chest, making him hunch over in pain. Only then did she feel better.

This son of a bitch is bullying me in front of everyone, what's left of my face if this gets out

"As for today's affair, whoever dares to gossip, I shall silence them." Yang Qingqing coldly swept her gaze across the crowd before leading her people out with a commanding air.

"Master, you're finally awake! I almost had a heart attack."

"Where did this girl come from I've never seen her before. She's really hot."

"So what, he's still been put in his place by our young master. Master, your feigning unconsciousness was truly brilliant."

The manager and Qin Yi's buddies all swarmed over. Seeing that he was fine, the group got lively again.

"You guys play, I'm going out for some air."

"Hear ye!"

Qin Yi walked quickly out of the bar. The outside air was refreshing. Under the brightly lit and bustling street, a bitter smile flickered at the corner of his mouth.

One thought of hell, one thought of heaven!

He came back, reborn from hell to his previous life as an ignorant and rebellious 17-year-old.

In his past life, he was a pampered rich young master who lived a life of luxury and indulgence.

Until he met Lin Mengzhi, the eldest daughter of the renowned Lin family in Beijing. The two of them plunged into the river together.

However, this all ultimately turned into a comical tragedy.

Lin Mengzhi had a marriage contract with Yan Dong, the son of the renowned Yan family from the capital city, since childhood. As a member of a prestigious family, Yan Dong would never allow anyone to take away his beloved, his future wife.

Thus, the Yan family went crazy and started making moves in both politics and business, launching a ruthless attack on the Qin family.

The Qin family practically collapsed overnight. The mother was imprisoned, the father's company went bankrupt, and even Qin Yi's friends and relatives were caught in the devastating disaster.

After years of hard work, their parents' life's achievements were reduced to ashes, and they eventually died from depression!

Xiaozhi, on the day of her marriage in Yandong, jumped from a building to commit suicide.

And that utterly incompetent self, in the end, made up his mind and, fueled by a deep-seated grudge, bound himself with explosives, intending to perish together with Yan Dong. However, he was foiled by Yan Dong's bodyguard who struck him flying with a single palm.

He didn't even mention his own broken bones, but he also harmed and killed many innocent people.

"To think, it's laughable really. If not for the courage of that day, how could I have achieved this rebirth"

Qin Yi smiled wryly, his memory returning to the countless years of torment he endured in hell's training!

"All evil shall be met with retribution!"

After Qin Yi's death, his soul was drawn by the returning tunnel to the eighteenth layer of hell.

In hell, demons, yakshas, and asuras roam the land. The weak are devoured by the strong, and power is the ultimate ruler.

In this lawless and desolate realm, the ones who control the spatial order are the strongest Ghost King and the ancient sects from Hell.

Endless carnage and raids between the various factions rage on, hell erupts in flames, with countless demons perishing daily on the infernal battlefields.

Qin Yi knew deep down that he wasn't a good person, but wasn't Yan Dong also full of evil Thinking about the unavenged blood feud of his entire family and knowing there was no chance for him to be reborn, he felt a burning resentment.

To save the ghost, a glimmer of hope remained! Qin Yi bowed before the Northern Ghost General, Da Shura, for an unknown and humble ghost soldier.

By chance, he obtained the inheritance of the ancient Ghost King on the battlefield, rapidly rising to power. In the end, he replaced the Great Asura and became the renowned Northern Ghost Marshal of Hell, dominating one side and looking down upon all others.

However, the eternal war in hell did not extinguish the flames of his revenge.

According to the notes left by the ancient Ghost King, Qin Yi found a three-world stone from ancient times in the dangerous borderland between hell and heaven.

Lastly, he forcefully broke open the hellish void. Relying on his peerless cultivation, he went through countless hardships, layer by layer, crossing the hell. He traversed volcanoes, crossed seas, and found the entrance to the tunnel. Finally, under the protection of spirit stones, he endured the wind and thunder tribulation of the tunnel, ascending against the heavens.

However, due to the severe damage of the Sanjie Stone, he was unable to return to himself at the moment of his death in his previous life. Instead, he flowed back against the void and returned to his rebellious 18-year-old self.

"Alas! The Heavenly Tribulation truly is formidable. My immortal ghost cultivator, who had lived for millennia, was obliterated within the return tunnel. The Three Realms Stone has shattered into dust. Now, I can only start anew." Qin Yi's divine sense spread, and his dantian was already dry, with only a few wisps of true Qi like wandering spirits.

At this moment, he was probably even weaker than the most ordinary ghost soldier under his command, indistinguishable from any mortal on Earth.

Otherwise, how could Yang Qingqing, with just a few punches, have injured his abdominal muscles

Revenge, for the time being, is likely impossible.

"Very well, even as a warlord in the eighteen layers of hell, my existence is already utterly pointless. If I were to overthrow the world once more and be reborn, what meaning would it hold"

"With eight years left, crushing the Yan family is more than enough!" Qin Yi's face broke into a proud smile, showing no trace of despair.

Immediately, his face turned cold, radiating a thick aura of killing intent.

"Yan Dong, Yan Family, the deep hatred from the past life, this life I want to repay a hundredfold, a thousandfold, and make the Yan Family erased from Hua Xia!

"

"And that accomplice who framed my mother for bribery and used dirty means to help the Yan family bring down my father's company, Mr. Duan!"

"To all those who have hurt me, from today onwards, I will be your nightmare! Hehehe!"

Floating clouds, a dog with gray fur, in my past life, I was just an insignificant ant in your eyes, but in this life, you will be crawling and trembling under my feet!We can't afford to take the blame for this."The bar owner, holding his phone up, urgently urged the security guard on duty.Most of the people in the bar knew this guy.
