Chapter 236 - How Much Do You Hate Me
Opening Chapter 236 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky": In the small courtyard of Jia City, the overt and covert struggle between Hu Shaomeng... Read on for more!
In the small courtyard of Jia City, the overt and covert struggle between Hu Shaomeng and Xizi Chu continued.âStop harboring your messy thoughts.
No matter when that thing appears, as long as Jiang Wang is still at the mine site, it all has nothing to do with us anymore, does it?â Hu Shaomeng snapped angrily.
âYour mouth is really tight.
It seems youâre quite confident that I didnât get more specific news through my âearsâ.â
While ostensibly rotating his wine glass, Xizi Chu said with a smile, âBut, youâve told my âeyesâ.â
He seemed very confident, with an ease that suggested he had everything under control.
Hu Shaomeng was well aware that âearsâ referred to informants and âeyesâ meant observation.
His face immediately darkened, âIf you had no intention of cooperating, you shouldnât have stopped me earlier to say all that.â
âThat was then, this is now.â
âDo as you please.â Hu Shaomeng lost his patience, stood up, and was about to leave: âAnyway, with you at the bottom, even if I lose this gamble, it doesnât seem so hard to accept.â
Xizi Chu laughed out loud, âYes, isnât it nice to be open-minded?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âNothing much, please stay and have a drink with me.
Three days will do, how about it?â
As Xizi Chu spoke, his hand suddenly trembled, causing the wine to splash and shoot out like needles.
The shrieking sound started and stopped abruptly.
In a flash, the Hu Shaomeng in front of him was riddled like a hornetâs nest.
âXizi Chu, remember this!
It was you who first broke the foundation of our cooperation.â
Hu Shaomeng evened his tone and said coldly.
Only then did his figure waver and instantly dissipate, vanishing like smoke.
It was only then that Xizi Chu realized that the Hu Shaomeng he had been talking to was nothing but an illusion created by magic.
Despite his pride in his keen senses, he had never noticed.
His strike missed its mark, but he did not lose his composure completely; he retained some dignity.
He was only briefly taken aback, then gently clapped his hands.
âThe illusions of Diao Hai Building are indeed unmatched.â
Outside the gates of the Hu Clan Mine Site.
Jiang Wang leaped up and arrived just in time to see the figure wearing the pig bone mask, plump and foolish-looking.
He clenched his Longsword in an instant.
How could he not recognize this style of mask?
How could he forget the Bone Tao that he often saw in his midnight dreams!
âHeh heh heh.â The masked figure glanced over his sword-wielding hand and laughed breathlessly a few times, âDo you recognize me?â
âWhat do you think?â Jiang Wang retorted.
âI heard there was someone from Zhuang Country here.
So I came.â
Jiang Wangâs mind suddenly flashed with a name, Xizi Chu.
It wasnât that Hu Shaomeng was incapable of orchestrating such a scheme, but the information about his origin from Zhuang Country seemed more likely to be obtained by Xizi Chu.
The masked figure continued, âMy brothers and sisters, many of them have died recently.
Just a few days ago, four died at once.
There was someone surnamed Zhu, what was his name?
Zhu Weiwo?
Heh heh, we planned to go kill him.
But then we heard he had comprehended Sun True Fire.
Became part of Godâs Inner Mansion, even Kui Shan couldnât kill himâŚ
so we let it beâŚâ
He rambled on for a while, then suddenly asked Jiang Wang, âAre you from Zhuang Country?
Did you come from the Dao institute in Fenglin City?â
Zhu WeiwoâŚ
This masked figure before him seemed somewhat insensible; he liked to talk nonsense, and Jiang Wang let him.
As time passed, Su Xiuhang, Zhu Bijing, Zhang Hai, Xiang Qian, all the current Transcendent combat forces of the Hu Clan Mine Site had gathered.
Jiang Wang looked at the plump, foolish-masked figure and replied, âI once was.â
âHeh heh heh.â
The masked figure seemed unconcerned with the so-called Transcendent Cultivators gathering around and only after confirming the answer from Jiang Wang himself did the laughter abruptly cease, âSuddenly, Iâm very hungry.â
His silhouette was enormous, eclipsing even Zhongxuan Sheng in girth by several measures.
Yet when he moved, he was as swift as lightning.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Jiang Wang, like a beast that had yet to be tamed, biting viciously toward his neck.
Clang!
The Longsword was unsheathed, placed horizontally in the mouth of the man with the pig bone mask.
Teeth and blade collided, emitting a crisp metallic clash.
Though the pig bone mask wearer seemed somewhat deranged, there was no delay in his combat.
As he bit towards Jiang Wang, his arms were also coming together for an embrace.
With his massive strength, a single embrace could instantly crush his opponentâs flesh body.
But Jiang Wang blocked the teeth of the pig bone mask wearer with his sword blade, then, seemingly oblivious to the hug coming from the man, he pressed both hands onto the hilt of the sword, the nine Star River Dao Spirals fully activated, Path Origin raging fiercely, pressing the sword forward!
At the point of fierce contact, the sword blade actually sparked against the pig bone mask wearerâs teeth.
He had absolute confidence in Longing.
Although the sword hadnât been nurtured for long and still lacked additional power, it was already extremely sharp by itself.
He wanted to see whether his sword would cleave through the pig bone mask wearerâs head or whether the pig bone mask wearer would crush his body first.
Even though the opponent was one of the infamous twelve Bone Faces of Bone Tao, a powerhouse at the Peak of Ascending Dragon Realm.
Jiang Wang remained entirely unafraid.
In that single embrace, life and death would be decided.
Boom!
An explosive sound came from the belly of the pig bone mask wearer, who then retreated at a speed even faster than his arrival, back to a distance.
As Jiang Wang forced the pig bone mask wearer back with a single sword thrust, he immediately shouted loudly, âZhang Hai, Xiang Qian, you have the duty to guard the mine site!
If you do not take action now, I will surely send you to the officials of Daqi!â
âSu Xiuhang, Zhu Bijing, help me kill this fatso, and Iâll owe you one!â
He hadnât called for a group attack earlier because he didnât share a bond with these people that could withstand life and death situations.
If he couldnât display the power to confront the pig bone mask wearer head-on, these people would probably scatter at once.
Therefore, he had forcefully met attack with attack to establish momentum, and only then did he coordinate with these few helpers to create a snowballing advantage.
With Jiang Wangâs words reaching this point, regardless of how reluctant Zhang Hai and Xiang Qian were, they had to move closer.
It was Su Xiuhang whose eyes lit up, âCan you detoxify me?â
âDefinitely!â
No sooner had Jiang Wang spoken than Su Xiuhang had already swept in like the wind: âYou fatso, your laugh is really ugly!â
The pig bone mask wearer swung his vast hand, which quickly swelled, clumps of blood vessels and flesh twisting together, and smacked Su Xiuhangâs dagger.
He sent him hurtling backward.
Su Xiuhang rolled several times before offloading the force, finally kneeling on the ground.
This scene immediately frightened Zhang Hai and Xiang Qian, who had been eager to try their hand.
âHehehehe.â
The pig bone mask wearer had attacked Jiang Wang, to no avail, his lips wounded by the sharpness of Longing, bleeding forth.
He had been attacked by Su Xiuhang as well.
But not only was he not angry, he seemed somewhat pleased.
Completely ignoring everyone else, he just stared blankly at Jiang Wang, his mouth uttering sickly nonsense, âIâve always been wondering who you are.
Will you surprise me?â
âWe ought to be old friends by now.â
âIn Fenglin City, could I have eaten your family, your friends?â
âHow angry you must be, how much you must hate me.â
âHehehehe, such hatred, itâs such a delicious nourishment!â
âI feel as though, as though I can already smell its sweetness.â
âEvery piece of your flesh must be soaked with hatred for me, right?â
âCome on!
Come on!
I simply canât wait any longerâŚâ
