“Seventh sister, third fatty, fourth galoot, come on out as well.”
Whoosh~
Three more persons flew from nearby trees, all wearing the same black clothes as sixth Xin.
The crowd here was a gathering of experts, the whole hundred of them. As only geniuses could see the origin light. To the average citizen, the light was not even there to begin with.
The nation had had experts long since Starscape came into play, just that they were hidden in plain sight. The experts however kept in touch and there was even a ranking of their strength called the Heaven Board.
The first was Zhou Mengxian, second Zhu Dagang(boss Boar), third Gui Henian(Daoist Kame), followed by Xin clan’s four greats.(T/N: zhu= boar, gui= kame, turtle)
In the experts’ world, the Xin clan was a family of great renown. They had four spots in the top ten of the Heaven Board. Their strength spoke for itself, even if they weren’t in the top three.
Zhu Dagang snorted, “Is Xin clan never satisfied, sticking their nose in everything?”
The seventh sister, Xin Hongzhu, giggled, “Boss Boar, you shouldn’t say it like that. Our clan had no interest in this time-space trove, but as it happens, it opened right at our doorstep. We pay close attention to fate. So you tell me, isn’t the Xin clan fated with this time-space trove?”
Zhu Dagang snapped, “You think it’s yours just ’cause it landed in your backyard? You call that a reason? Does that make me part of you since I’m here as well?”
“If the clan wants it.”
Zhu Dagang laughed coldly, “Xin clan sure is outstanding.”
“The Xin clan may be below you in rank, but since we’re so outstanding, what does that make you, boss Zhu?”
“Goddammit!” Zhu Dagang was cut to the quick, finding no good retort and only settled on a curse.
Gui Henian laughed, “Everyone says Xin clan’s seventh sister has a sharp mouth, and now I see the truth of it.”
Xin Hongzhu pursed her lips, “Daoist Kame, you must be jesting. I am only stating facts and speaking reason.”
“Nice, very nice.”
“Damn right nice. Who among us does not know of the sharp-tongued Xin Hongzhu? He-he-he, I can’t wait to try her on for size.” Boss Boar finally found an excellent comeback as he grabbed his crotch while speaking.
Sixth Xin’s face darkened, “Zhu Dagang, clean up that filthy mouth of yours!”
Xin Hongzhu stopped him with a wave and giggled, “Boss Boar, my mouth has endless and wondrous uses. Everyone knows of how sharp it can be, but boss Zhu, you he-he.”
“What he-he?”
“Oh, nothing. I only just heard how boss Boar’s pants are holding a third pinkie.”
Zhu Dagang raved, “Why you stinkin’ damnable wench!”
The three brothers of the Xin clan shot for Zhu Dagang.
Zhu Dagang spat air bubbles while his boar did the same.
Five figures clashed and dust was lifted.
Xin Hongzhu cried, “Why would boss Boar be angry if I wasn’t right? Oh do forgive me, I wasn’t careful and let your secret slip!”
Zhu Dagang’s rave continued, “Why you stinkin’ damnable wench!”
“I will mess you up!”
“Mess your mom!”
The three Xin brothers joined in on the cursing, attacking, and flinging cusses until the whole place was topsy turvy.
So what if they were experts? You’d think being an expert came with built-in decorum? All they had over common folk was some special constitution. As for the rest, be it character, restraints, and all that, they were identical.
Zhu Dagang had no problem dealing with one, but with four working together, he was starting to lose ground. Attacking for so long, his qi started to slack in power.
Boss Boar shouted, “Old turtle, what are you standing around for? Lend a hand, will ya!”
Gui Henian said, “Brother Zhu, I would’ve long joined if not for being the Xin clan. I and the Xin clan are close so I can’t bear raise a hand against both sides.”
“Old turtle, old bastard(T/N: this world means turtle as well, but is mainly considered a curse.), you and Xin clan are good my ass. You just find their numerical advantage scary. Do you think I don’t know you by now? What were you doing following Xin Hongzhu after the last Experts Summit, hmm? Want me to spell it out in front of the whole crowd?”
Gui Henian reddened, “That never happened, so shut your yap!”
Xin Hongzhu giggled and swirled her eyes to Gui Henian, but the latter avoided her gaze.
Xin Hongzhu asked, “Senior Gui, were you following me?”
“Preposterous, h-how could I do such deplorable act?”
“That is true. An upright and honorable man like senior Gui would never stoop so low.”
Gui Henian’s face was beet red.
Xin Hongzhu said, “Senior Gui, why is it you can accept boss Boar’s slander? Are you perhaps hiding something?”
“What hide? I only… this old boar’s claptrap had gone too far smearing my good name!”
Gui Henian threw his turtle shell for Zhu Dagang.
Zhu Dagang was enraged in his cursing. He thought he nudged Gui Henian into being his ally, but Xin Hongzhu turned this bastard around with a sentence.
Xin Hongzhu cupped her hands to the others around, “Friends, the time-space trove has appeared in Xin clan’s lands, but as this is providence, we do not dare hog it for ourselves. It is up to fates who it belongs to!”
“Xin’s seventh sister is correct!”
“We thank seventh sister for clearing things!”
“Black Mountains Range and Xin clan have generations of friendship. Xin clan’s matter is our matter!”
“Kill boss Boar to earn our fate!”
“Yes, yes, kill him first!”
“Charge!”
More and more people entered the fray ending with boss Boar beaten to a pulp and even his large boar suffered injuries.
The large boar jumped out of the encirclement.
“Just you wait, wretched bastards! One day I will settle this with each and every one of you! “
Boss Boar cursed thinking he was out of the woods. He wanted to have the final word in before bolting. Little did he know, Li Mo picked that particular moment to come out and kick his large boar.
The boar and boss Boar were kicked right back in…
“F***!”
Zhu Dagang didn’t even know who to curse at this point.
A hundred attacks blew in Zhu Dagang’s face. So much dust picked up that there was no sight of him.
Awo~
With a sharp roar, a ten-meter long tusk came from the dust cloud, cutting tens of experts at their midsections.
When the dust cleared, boss Boar was gone, leaving behind a large boar on steroids. It was now ten times as large, tens of meters tall and hooves as big as hills.
Awo~
The boar went berserk, bashing and trashing everywhere there was a two-legged creature. He was like a reaper, its trampling, bitting, and stabbing got over thirty people dead.
Was boss Boar that ordinary to have become the second on the Heaven Board?
Clang!
The huge boar nocked into a turtle shell. Gui Henian had enlarged it to shield himself.
Clang!
Clang!
The boar was persistent but there was not a scratch on it.
The boar gave up in the end and trampled its way around until at some point, it fled.
The huge boar held the advantage, but not a permanent one. It fought for a while then escaped at the first chance.
