Chapter 55: Throwing Sand
In the first round, because the Golden Toad and the Old Dog and the three of us deliberately glared at Xue Pan, and under our continuous pressure on him.
He panicked, his hand trembled, and without paying attention, he knocked down the stick stuck in the middle.
“Hahaha!”
“Hahahaha!”
“Hahaha!”
The three of us laughed uncontrollably, because this way, none of us would have to be the loser, meaning the fourth one at the bottom.
After Xue Pan was the first to be eliminated, he wanted to play a trick on the three of us. Standing to the side with a malicious smile, his appearance was absolutely indescribable, and his brain was definitely not up to anything good.
The three of us looked at each other, and no one moved.
At my signal to the Golden Toad, the Old Dog got up and kicked Xue Pan in the buttocks twice; “Get lost, go, you go and wait on the side, go, don’t stand here watching! Damn it, hurry up and get lost!”
Just as the Old Dog got up to drive Xue Pan away, the Golden Toad and I, with great understanding, each grabbed a large handful of sand.
Hehehe, when the Old Dog came back, he saw that the stick stuck in the sand pile was already on the verge of falling.
He was completely stunned! The next moment, he pointed at me and the Golden Toad with anger.
He exclaimed; “Son of a bitch! Old Ghost, Old Jin, what did you two do?”
Hearing this, the Golden Toad and I, with telepathic understanding, looked at the Old Dog with a very innocent and bewildered expression at the same time,
I said;
“We didn’t do anything, we were waiting for you.”
“Ah, yes! I was watching Chan Xin, he didn’t cheat. We’re buddies, would I deceive you? If you don’t trust Chan Xin, don’t you trust your Brother Jin? Damn! Am I the kind of toad who deceives people?” the Golden Toad chimed in.
The Old Dog saw our pathetic state and then looked at the stick on the ground, which was almost falling even without being pulled.
He regretted it deeply at that moment, raised his hand and slapped himself, and said resentfully;
“Damn it! What else am I supposed to pull? Fine! Damn it! You two are really something!”
Afterwards, the Old Dog, filled with righteous indignation, walked towards Xue Pan, looking at his expression, it was clear he blamed all his anger on Xue Pan.
It’s unclear if it was Heaven’s Will or a coincidence, but just as the Old Dog turned around, the stick on the ground fell over.
KO! …
The Third Brother was thus born.
In the final round, only the Golden Toad and I were left. We piled up the sand, and first looked at Xue Pan and the Old Dog, who were fooling around not far away, for a few moments.
Then we turned back, I looked at the Golden Toad, and he looked at me. An invisible current seemed to be pulling back and forth between our gazes.
“Crackling,”
The air was thick with tension.
I chuckled and didn’t rush to act. Instead, I took out a Hongta Shan cigarette and offered one to the Golden Toad.
After all, duels between experts cannot be like children playing house, it’s a child’s play. Before the final battle, one needs to put on a show!
The Golden Toad took the cigarette from my hand, took out a lighter, and lit mine, then lit his own.
We just stared at each other silently, neither of us speaking.
I don’t know what the Golden Toad was thinking at this moment, but I remembered the scene of Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue’s duel at the peak of the Forbidden City.
“Ximen Jin Chan, my sword, named Ju Jue, is three feet eight inches long. It is forged from cold iron from the bottom of the sea, can cut hair with a mere breath, and has been stained with the blood of one hundred and seventy-eight renowned swordsmen.”
“Three feet nine inches, forged from Xuan iron from the Western Regions, not worse than yours.”
“Has your heart calmed down?”
“Heh ha!”
“Huo! Ya!”
“Ding! Dang! Qiang! …”
Although we didn’t make a move, our aura was so powerful that the dark night sky was startled, and a golden ray of light shot down upon us.
At this moment, I suddenly attacked with a wicked grin, grabbed a handful of sand, and instantly threw it towards the Golden Toad’s face.
The Golden Toad was startled; he never expected me to do such a thing at this crucial moment.
In his panic, his toad mouth opened wide, and he directly inhaled all the sand I had thrown.
After doing this,
He was about to give me a smug, mocking smile.
I didn’t indulge him at all. I turned around, bared my buttocks to him, opened my mouth, and took a deep breath, sucking it into my abdomen. I clenched my fists, gritted my teeth, and exerted force.
“Huh?”
“Pfft~!”
A colorless but highly corrosive gaseous energy, with a magnificent aura like a million lions, directly slammed into the Golden Toad’s face.
“Cough cough cough…”
After suffering heavy damage, the Golden Toad gagged incessantly, his eyes tearing up from the irritation.
Just as he reached up to rub his eyes.
With the speed of lightning, I instantly scraped away almost all the sand in front of us.
Hmph, this is called “all’s fair in war.”
As the saying goes, “a general’s victory is built on the bones of ten thousand men.” To achieve great things, both brains and means are indispensable.
After a long while,
the Golden Toad finally managed to open his eyes, looked at the sand pile in front of him, and then looked at me.
His face turned from green to white, as if a surge of resentment was stuck in his chest, leaving him unable to speak.
I thought if this bastard wasn’t afraid of losing to me, then without a doubt, he would definitely fight me to the death.
But there was no way, cough cough cough, after all, schemes and tricks are also a form of strength.
Speaking; I bullied you, I cheated, what can you do about it?
You can’t beat me in a fight, and you’re not as good at cheating as I am, damn it! Don’t think you’re a cheat, I’m the ancestor of playing rough and cheating.
Do you think the title of Bandit Leader in the Immortal Cultivation World is for nothing?
My principle is: when your strength is lower than mine, I will suppress you and teach you the principles of being human. Once I find out that you might gain an advantage over me, then I will play dirty with you and let you understand the dangers of the Immortal Cultivation World.
Seeing the Golden Toad almost choked to death by me,
I chuckled and cupped my hands; said lightly; “I concede, I concede!”
The Golden Toad gave a helpless bitter smile. He also understood that although my victory was not honorable, my intelligence and combat strength were indeed higher than his. As the eldest brother, he should possess both, and he couldn’t compare to me in this regard. Although he was still a bit unconvinced in his heart, he could only compromise now, because he saw that I had taken out that extremely yin and evil Demon Subduing Pestle, the “Buttocks Buster” pestle, at some unknown time.
Out of necessity, he directly bowed his head to me, the evil force.
He also cupped his hands and said; “I admire you, I admire you!”
Seeing this, I nodded with a satisfied smile.
…
From this moment on, the ranking of our four brothers was decided.
“My eldest, Old Ghost Cao Chan Xin,”
“Second, Golden Toad Jin Bu Que,”
“Third, Gouzi Zeng Zhi Xiong,”
“Fourth, Lecherous Ghost Xue Pan Zi,”
“Heaven above, Houtu as witness, today we become sworn brothers. Though we cannot be born in the same year, month, and day, we wish to die in the same year, month, and day. In the future, we will share blessings and hardships. If any one of us harms the living beings of the world, the other three will surely dismember him, grind his bones to dust, and shatter his soul! If we violate this oath, may thunder strike us, and may we be destroyed by heaven and earth!”
The oath was sworn.
“Hahaha! Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother!”
“Haha, Eldest Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother!”
“Haha, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Fourth Brother!”
“Haha, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother!”
“Hahahaha…, let’s go! Brothers, let’s go drinking!”
I waved my hand and led the way, with the other three following closely behind.
