Chapter 157: Chapter 154: You Are Surrounded
What does the Qian Family have the most of?
Wealth, of course!
The kind of wealth that could rival a nation!
Zhao Zijun and his two companions weren’t worried that Qian Duoduo couldn’t produce something to satisfy them. They just found the whole affair incredibly beneath them.
For scions of the great Six Great Clans of the Imperial City to stoop to such ridiculous acts just for revenge.
Then again, it was perfectly in line with Qian Duoduo’s usual style.
"Are you crazy?" Nangong Yan finally couldn’t help but ask.
Qian Duoduo nodded gravely. "That’s right. I am sick."
The three were shocked. ’Since when? We never heard about this!’
They quickly asked, "What kind of sickness?"
"One is a disease called ’I’ll-die-if-I-don’t-get-my-swagger-back,’ and the other is called ’it-pains-me-not-to-squander-my-vast-fortune.’"
The three of them were speechless.
’Fine, fine, fine. You’re rich. Whatever you say goes.’
"How embarrassing!" Nangong Yan scoffed, turning her head away in displeasure.
Just then, intense fluctuations of True Essence rippled from the distance, accompanied by the strange phenomena that occur when the Power of Heaven and Earth churns.
Someone was fighting a deadly battle!
And judging by the commotion, they were incredibly powerful.
The four of them exchanged a look, their expressions turning grim.
"Let’s go, we’ll check it out together!"
...
"Hand over the Gold-level Token, and we’ll spare your lives!"
Over a dozen youths were spread out, blocking Jin Sanpang and Liu Hui’s path and surrounding them.
"Fatty, some fat sheep have served themselves up on a platter."
"Mhm, Brother Mo said we have to perfectly implement the Three Alls Policy. Not a single one gets away."
"I counted. There are seventeen of them. Let’s have a competition to see who can strip more of them. Fatty, you dare?"
"Hmph, why wouldn’t I dare? San Pang is guaranteed to beat you, you Dazed Dragon!"
"Then let’s raise the stakes. If you lose, you wash my underwear for three months. If I lose, I’ll wash yours for one. How about it?"
"Why do I have to wash for three months while you only do one?" Jin Sanpang protested.
"Hey! Look at the size of you! One pair of your underwear is like ten of mine. You’ve got some nerve asking that," Liu Hui said, rolling his eyes.
"Well... alright then. San Pang agrees!"
Jin Sanpang and Liu Hui were communicating via voice transmission, winking and making faces at each other as they discussed their bet. To the onlookers, it looked like they were scared and trying to figure out a way to escape.
"Don’t get any funny ideas. Neither of you is getting away!"
"I told you before, you were just holding onto that Gold-level Token for us. Now, be good and hand it over, unless you want to get hurt."
"Heh heh, you fat bastard, remember what I said? Once we’re Within the Pass, I’m going to ’help’ you render all that blubber."
"Weren’t you so arrogant outside? Go on, try being arrogant now! I’d love to see it!"
Jin Sanpang and Liu Hui acted as if they hadn’t heard a thing. They split to the left and right and pointed at the crowd.
"Listen up! You are surrounded by us! Hand over all your valuables, and we’ll let you live."
The crowd was stunned. ’The two of them are surrounding the seventeen of us?’
’Is there something wrong with our hearing, or have you two been scared out of your minds?’
Everyone thought Jin Sanpang and Liu Hui had gone insane.
But they would soon find out that two people really could surround seventeen.
"Fatty, I’ll count down from three, and then we start."
"Got it."
"Three."
"Two."
"These two are nuts! Let’s get them! It’s first come, first served for the Gold-level Token! Every man for himself!"
Unwilling to wait any longer, the crowd charged, letting out a collective roar as they attacked.
"One." Liu Hui finished the countdown.
The great battle erupted. Jin Sanpang whipped out two large hammers and, swinging them like a whirlwind, charged into the crowd.
Before they entered the pass, Mo Qi had specifically warned him not to reveal his Vajra Realm Cultivation unless it was absolutely necessary.
Liu Hui didn’t bother using his Dragon Transformation. It was complete overkill for these people.
Seeing Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang charge at them, the crowd wasn’t alarmed but overjoyed. ’They’re courting death!’ they thought, as they rushed forward to meet the attack.
And then...
Instead of a great battle, what followed was more of a one-sided beatdown.
Even without resorting to his Vajra Realm abilities, no one could withstand a single blow from Jin Sanpang’s hammer.
It was a perfect case of pure force breaking all techniques. Purity Realm Domains, the Power of Heaven and Earth, True Essence Like Tide, Martial Arts Armor—all of it was like paper, shattering on contact.
With one swing of his hammer, four or five people were sent flying, some with broken arms, others vomiting blood. All of them collapsed to the ground, out of the fight.
After another swing, no one was left standing before him.
If Jin Sanpang’s mind hadn’t been so preoccupied with the Three Alls Policy—and the fact that he hadn’t started stripping them yet—he wouldn’t have held back. Those two swings would have been enough to smash these people into meat paste.
As for Liu Hui, although he didn’t transform, he was empowered by Dragon Energy, making his speed and strength far exceed his current Realm.
On top of that, his Cultivation was regularly supplemented by Mo Qi’s Medicinal Cuisine, making his foundation incredibly solid and stable.
His fighting style wasn’t as visually spectacular as Jin Sanpang’s, but it was every bit as effective.
Against those so-called geniuses, forget the ones in the Refining God Realm; even those in the Purity Realm couldn’t last a single move against him.
It was a complete and utter steamroll.
Soon, sixteen of the seventeen were down. Seeing that things were bad, the last man standing turned and fled without a moment’s hesitation.
’Gods, these two aren’t human!’
’If there was a potion for regret, he would have downed an entire bottle without a second thought.’
’He thought they were a couple of rookies, but who knew they were actually apex predators.’
Jin Sanpang and Liu Hui had each taken down eight people, making this last man the key to their bet.
"I’ll get him!"
The two shouted in unison and shot forward at the same time.
Their bodies flickered, transforming into two streaks of light that instantly caught up to the man. They seized him from both sides and dragged him back to where they started.
"I won!"
"San Pang won!"
"I grabbed him first!"
"No, San Pang grabbed him first!"
Neither Liu Hui nor Jin Sanpang would back down, and the man caught between them was in agony.
’Big brothers, if you’re going to argue, can you please put me down first? I promise I won’t run.’
’Don’t you know how strong you are? Incredibly strong!’
"How about... you call it a draw?" Although he didn’t know what Jin Sanpang and Liu Hui were betting on, he felt like his arms were about to be ripped from their sockets and couldn’t help but make the suggestion.
Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang pondered for a moment.
"Fine, we’ll call it a draw!"
The man breathed a sigh of relief. He thought his ordeal was over, but it was just beginning.
Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang, one on each side, grabbed the man’s clothes and ripped them off with a powerful tug.
RIIIP!
A naked body shivered in the wind.
He slapped his hands over his vitals, one in front and one behind, a look of horror on his face.
"You... What are you going to do to me? I... I’ll die before I submit!"
Liu Hui walked up and slapped him to the ground.
"Cut the crap. We’re only here for your valuables. Hand over your Storage Space and all your treasures!"
And so, the duo—one fat, one thin—began to carry out their "Three Alls Policy."
Storage Rings? Confiscated!
Treasure Armor? Stripped off!
Something hidden in the lining of their clothes? Rip it all to shreds!
What’s that? Can’t find anything good even after stripping them bare? Beat ’em up!
If that still doesn’t work, string ’em up naked from a tree for all to see. Let’s see if they talk then!
When Qian Duoduo arrived at the battle site with Zhao Zijun and the others in tow, this was the exact scene that greeted them.
Qian Duoduo immediately recognized Jin Sanpang and Liu Hui.
He froze for a second, then broke into a sly grin. He sauntered over and familiarly slung his arms around Jin Sanpang and Liu Hui’s necks. "Brothers, long time no see! Open for business again, are we? Looks like it’s booming!"
