After Li Jingtian sent Li Xueer and Lin Yiqing off, he returned to the place where he grew up, the Lei Family Residence on Yuxu Mountain. Back then, his great-grandmother brought him, who was just born, to settle down here.
Lei Jia Village was a small village with a population of more than a hundred. The people here were simple and kind. Although Li Jingtian and Great-Grandma were outsiders, they received a lot of care and help from the people. This was especially true for a person called Lei Zhenshan, who took care of them in every possible way.
To outsiders, Lei Zhenshan was a hunter. In fact, his surname was not Lei, and he was not a hunter. He was the once famous "Rushing Thunder Hand" Xue Zhenshan. He was intrepid by nature, and his fist technique was unusually fierce. Because his wife was killed by his enemy because of him, he was heartbroken. After killing his enemy, he was tired of the vendetta in the martial arts world. He took his daughter, who was only a few months old, to live in seclusion here and changed his name to Lei Zhen Mountain.
When Li Jingtian was ten years old, his great-grandmother passed away due to old age and illness. Lei Zhenshan brought the young Li Jingtian into his home and treated him like his own son. He even took Li Jingtian as his disciple.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed. Not only had Li Jingtian completely inherited Lei Zhenshan's legacy, but he had also slowly developed feelings for his master's daughter, Lei Xinyue, over the years.
Lei Xinyue was as beautiful as a fairy. She was a peerless beauty. It was not an exaggeration to describe her beauty as a flower that shamed the moon.
Lei Zhenshan saw it and was happy in his heart. Although he did not say it out loud, he had already considered Li Jingtian to be the best candidate for Cheng Long's son-in-law.
However, just as the family was immersed in endless joy, the arrival of the Japanese a few days ago completely destroyed their infinitely beautiful life. From then on, Li Jingtian's entire life changed…
That day, as usual, Li Jingtian ate Lei Xinyue's breakfast and prepared to go up the mountain to hunt.
Under Lei Xinyue's gaze, Li Jingtian slowly walked into the mountain. Who would have thought that this farewell would be their final farewell…
At noon that day, smoke rose from the village chimneys, and the atmosphere was as peaceful as usual.
Suddenly, the village was filled with barking dogs and human voices. A group of Japanese soldiers suddenly barged in!
For a moment, the entire village was filled with gunshots, people's wails, and the helpless cries for help of the women when they were humiliated...
Flames soared into the sky! The Japanese were like ferocious beasts, trampling the village for nearly two hours.
There were more than 100 people in the village, but there were no survivors. Other than the rats hiding in the holes, everyone in the village who could breathe was either killed or taken away…
When Li Jingtian returned to the village, what greeted his eyes was a tragic scene.
The entire village was in ruins. Corpses could be seen everywhere, and the blood on the ground had yet to coagulate. Other than the fire that had not yet been extinguished, the village was dead silent…
Li Jingtian rushed into the house in a frenzy. Lei Zhenshan's corpse was lying in the courtyard with more than ten bloody holes on his body. In his hand was a machete.
Although he did not see the enemy's corpse around him, he could tell from the bloodstains on the ground that he must have gone through a fierce battle before he died.
Li Jingtian did not have time to take a closer look. He shouted Lei Xinyue's name and rushed into the house. On the ground, a few pieces of torn clothes were particularly eye-catching. From the color and style of the clothes, Li Jingtian could tell that they were the same clothes that Lei Xinyue had worn when she sent him off in the morning. Other than the torn clothes, there were also red spots on the wet bedding…
Lei Xinyue had long disappeared…
Li Jingtian rushed out of the house and shouted Lei Xinyue's name into the wilderness. The only thing that answered him was the towering mountains…

Today was the seventh day of all the deaths in the village. Li Jingtian looked at the tombs that he had personally buried, his face as still as death.
He did not cry because his tears had dried up a few days ago.
"My fellow villagers, you are all my family. I have no parents since I was a child. I only have an old great-grandmother. If it weren't for your help, I, Li Jingtian, wouldn't have been able to live until now. " Please bless me, Li Jingtian. I will avenge you and kill all those damn Japanese."”
After Li Jingtian finished speaking, he poured a jar of wine on the ground.
After Li Jingtian paid his respects to the villagers, he went to Great-Grandma's grave. Beside her grave, there was a new grave. On the wooden plaque in front of the grave, the words " Respected Master Lei Zhenshan " were carved crookedly.
Li Jingtian felt extremely guilty. If he hadn't gone hunting back then…If he had been at home back then…If he had been by Lei Xinyue's side back then…?？？
And all of this had become a hypothesis. The truth was that there were no ifs!!!
Li Jingtian was filled with regret and hatred, but it was already too late. He knew that even if Lei Xinyue did not die, as long as she fell into the demonic claws of those beasts, death might be the best release. It might become an impossible wish...
Li Jingtian wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Extreme sadness and pain had taken over his heart. He did not even realize that there was a pile of burnt paper ashes in front of Lei Zhenshan's grave...
Li Jingtian knelt on the ground and swore in front of his family,""A life for a life! Blood for blood! Kill all the Japanese invaders!"

In the evening, in front of a small hotel on the south street of Yuling County, a young man dressed in plain clothes with a bow and arrow on his back walked into the hotel after looking around.
"Hello, sir. How many of you are there? Do you want to stay in the hotel?"
The waiter greeted him warmly.
"Yes, I want to stay in the hotel. Arrange a room by the street for me.”
The person's expression was cold, and his entire body emitted a cold aura. His gaze was extremely cold.
The waiter did not understand what was going on. The moment his gaze met the person's, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"Yes, sir. Please follow me."
As a waiter in a hotel, he had to deal with different guests every day. Observing their expressions was his most basic ability. From Li Jingtian's gaze, he could tell that he was not someone to be trifled with.
Li Jingtian followed the waiter into the room and looked around.""Go out first. Other than three meals a day, don't let anyone disturb me.”
"Got it."
The waiter responded and quickly turned around to leave.
Li Jingtian only had one goal in mind, and that was to kill the Japanese! However, he was not blind. He knew that an experienced hunter needed patience the most when dealing with ferocious and cunning prey.
Li Jingtian turned around and looked at the bow and arrow he had brought with him. He believed that he was prepared for this hunt...
