I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

Lei Yi ran furiously, only stopping when he was sure the black beast hadn't caught up. He gasped for breath. Before he could savor the joy of escaping danger, a wave of aches and exhaustion washed over him. He realized his clothes were tattered, his body bruised and battered, and he looked utterly miserable.

"We need to find a place to rest." Lei Yi dragged his heavy steps and walked towards the town.

In the evening, he finally arrived at a small town. The only inn in the town was brightly lit, bustling with people and noise. Lei Yi walked into the inn, and the strong aroma of wine and meat filled his nostrils, making him hungry. He looked around and found that the inn was almost full, with only one empty table in the corner.

Lei Yi dragged his exhausted body to an empty table. Just as he was about to sit down, he heard an arrogant voice coming from the door: "Get out of here, everyone! I've reserved this table!"

Lei Yi looked up and saw a burly, fleshy man with a few lackeys swaggering into the inn. This man was none other than Li, the bully who had bullied Lei Yi in the teahouse that day.

Li Bully's eyes swept around the inn and finally fell on Lei Yi. A cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he walked straight towards Lei Yi.

"Hey, isn't this Young Master Lei? Why are you hiding here drinking alone?" Li Bully walked up to Lei Yi and said in a sarcastic tone, his tone full of sarcasm and disdain.

Lei Yi thought to himself that something was wrong. He should have thought that in this small town, the bully Li had absolute power and no matter where he hid, it would be difficult to escape from his clutches.

"Li Bully, what do you want to do?" Lei Yi asked coldly, suppressing the anger in his heart.

Li Bully sneered and pointed at the table in front of Lei Yi and said, "What do I want to do? You took my seat, damn, what do you think I want to do?"

Lei Yi frowned. He was clearly the first to sit at this table, so how could he be considered to have taken Li Bully's seat? He was about to explain when one of Li Bully's lackeys shouted, "Our boss has already reserved this table. If you know what's good for you, get out of here!"

Lei Yi took a deep breath. He knew that it was useless to reason with these people. They just wanted to find fault and humiliate him.

Lei Yi clenched his fists and was about to get up and leave when he heard Li Bully speak again: "What? You want to leave? Did I allow you to leave?" Lei Yi suppressed his anger and said coldly: "This table is empty, everyone can sit. I came here first, how can it be yours?"

Bully Li laughed exaggeratedly, as if he had heard some huge joke. The lackeys around him also joined in the fun. For a moment, the inn was filled with a happy atmosphere, but this air was full of ridicule and malice.

"Hey, this kid is quite good at joking, hahaha!"

"Exactly, don't you see who you are? How dare you snatch the position from our boss!"

"Boy, get out of here quickly and don't get in the way!"

Although most of the diners around dared not speak out, some could not help but whisper to Lei Yi: "Sir, don't argue with Li the bully. He is the bully in this town, and we can't afford to offend him..."

"Yes, yes, a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Just give him some leeway..."

Lei Yi looked around and saw that everyone was angry but dared not speak out. Some even looked at him with gloating pleasure, as if he were some kind of clown. He was filled with grief and indignation. Was he going to run away in disgrace like a stray dog ​​again?

But he is penniless now, where can he escape to?

Seeing Lei Yi's silence, Li the bully thought Lei Yi was afraid of him, and he became even more arrogant. He slammed the table and pointed at Lei Yi's nose and cursed: "Boy, are you deaf? Didn't you hear everyone trying to persuade you? Get out of here if you know what's good for you, otherwise..."

He deliberately dragged out his voice, his eyes flashing with ferocity, the threat he intended was self-evident.

At this moment, the innkeeper, a short, fat, middle-aged man with a mustache, came over with a smile on his face. He rubbed his hands, nodded and said, "Oh, Master Li, you are here. I will arrange the best private room for you..."

However, before he could finish his words, Li the Bully interrupted him impatiently, "Are you fucking blind? Can't you see I'm teaching someone a lesson?"

Shopkeeper Zhao's smile froze. Following Li's gaze, he looked at Lei Yi. A sudden pang of fear seized him, and he muttered, "Oh no!" How had this kid gotten into trouble with this plague god? Shopkeeper Zhao groaned bitterly. Li was the town's local tyrant, a perpetrator of all sorts of evil. Who dared to provoke him? Yet, this young man, ignorant of his own limitations, dared to challenge him for a position. Wasn't this simply courting death?

His eyes rolled, and a more flattering smile appeared on his face. He said with a smile, "Master Li, calm down, Master Li, calm down. It's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! This young man has just arrived and doesn't know the rules. Please be magnanimous and don't argue with him."

As he spoke, he turned around and tugged at Lei Yi's sleeve, lowering his voice to advise, "Young Master, don't argue with Master Li. He's not someone you can easily mess with. We can't afford to offend him! Just give in and sit somewhere else. After Master Li leaves, you can sit wherever you want. I'll even give you a pot of good wine for free. What do you think?"

Lei Yi naturally understood Manager Zhao's good intentions. He also knew that Bully Li was not to be trifled with, but he was still fuming. Why should he keep giving in? Was it because he had a powerful fist and strong connections that he had to cower like a tortoise and let him bully him?

Seeing that Lei Yi was unmoved, Shopkeeper Zhao became even more anxious, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. He advised earnestly, "Sir, just listen to me. This bully Li is ruthless and merciless. If he really starts a fight, you will suffer!"

However, his persuasion only infuriated Li the bully even more. Li's face darkened, and he suddenly kicked over the table beside him. He pointed at Zhao's nose and cursed, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you meddle in my business? Do you believe I'll deal with you too?!"

Shopkeeper Zhao was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs went limp, and he almost collapsed to the ground. He said tremblingly, "Master Li, I dare not, I dare not..."

Li Bully snorted coldly, ignoring him and turning his gaze back to Lei Yi, a sinister glint in his eyes. He hooked his finger, motioning Lei Yi to come closer. Lei Yi was wary, but also wanted to know what Li Bully was up to, so he slowly walked forward.

"Boy, I see you have amazing bones, you must be a martial artist!" Li Bully looked Lei Yi up and down, a playful smile on his face, "How about this, let's make a bet?"

Lei Yi's heart moved and he asked, "What bet?"

A sly flicker flashed in Li Bully's eyes, and he slowly said, "Let's make a bet..."

His voice stopped abruptly, but his eyes were fixed on Lei Yi, as if he was expecting something.

"Let's make a bet," Li Bully deliberately stretched out his voice, his eyes sifting back and forth between Lei Yi's body with a hint of teasing, "Can you take my punch?"

Lei Yi was startled. This bully, Li, was a burly figure, a martial artist at first glance. With no training at all, how could he possibly take a punch from him? This was clearly a losing gamble!

"What? You don't dare anymore?" Seeing Lei Yi's silence, Li the bully thought that Lei Yi was afraid, and he became even more proud. "If you are afraid, get out of here right now, and don't let me see you again!"

Shopkeeper Zhao watched with trepidation. Although he had no idea what Li the bully was up to, he could guess that this gambling game was definitely not a good one. He anxiously winked at Lei Yi, hoping that he would be tactful and give in, and leave this place as soon as possible.

Lei Yi naturally understood the good intentions of Shopkeeper Zhao, and he also wanted to refuse, but when he looked around, he found that all the guests in the inn were there to watch the fun, with their eyes focused on him. If he backed down now, wouldn't he lose face?

What's more, he is penniless now. If he is kicked out of the inn, he will have to sleep on the street tonight. Thinking of this, Lei Yi gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said, "Okay, I bet!"

Upon hearing this, Li Bully smiled sinisterly, as if he had foreseen Lei Yi's plight. He stretched his muscles, making a crackling sound, then slowly raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist. A powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire inn.

Lei Yi felt a tightness in his chest and breathing became a little difficult. He suppressed the fear in his heart and looked straight into Li Bully's eyes, not daring to retreat in the slightest.

"Kid, since you're so brave, I'll give you three moves!" Li Eba said, taking a sudden step forward. His fist, with a sound of breaking through the air, flew straight towards Lei Yi's face... However, just as Li Eba's fist was about to hit Lei Yi, the door of the inn was suddenly pushed open, and a crisp voice rang out at the door: "Stop!"
