Looking at Flander making a choice, Cheng Xiao grinned, and coldness surged suddenly in his dark pupils.
"If you cripple the Master, then you can leave."
"Impossible!" Flander's face changed drastically at these words. He gritted his teeth and said, "Cheng Xiao, you know… the Master and I…"
"If you don't cripple him, then prepare to be crippled yourself." Cheng Xiao waved his hand, and in an instant, dozens of shadows emerged from the darkness beneath his feet. Immediately, dozens of shadow soldiers surrounded Flander and the other two.
"Almost forgot. The Three-Eyed Demon Ape is very interested in female Soul Masters. If you don't want your beloved Er Long sister to be hurt, do as I say."
Having said that, Cheng Xiao no longer wasted words. With a thought, the Three-Eyed Demon Ape emerged from behind him and, in front of Flander, grabbed Liu Erlong's hands, lifting the defenseless girl into the air.
"Er Long sister!" Flander's face turned pale as he watched Liu Erlong being taken by the Three-Eyed Demon Ape. He did not want to harm his brother, but he was even more unwilling to see the woman he loved violated by a Soul Beast.
"Boss Flander, don't hurt Xiao Gang! He's already no longer a man… what will happen to him in the future?" Liu Erlong cried.
*"Er Long sister…" At this moment, the pressure of whether the Golden Iron Triangle could survive rested entirely on Flander. If he did not follow Cheng Xiao's instructions, none of them would survive. But following Cheng Xiao's instructions would leave the Master permanently crippled.
Better to die than to watch Liu Erlong be violated!
"Xiao Gang, don't blame me. This is all out of necessity. To protect Er Long sister, I have no choice but to ruthlessly sacrifice you."
After this mental preparation, Flander walked out of the shadow soldiers' encirclement without looking back. To avoid Liu Erlong being hurt, he even increased his speed.
When he reached the unconscious Master, he hesitated not at all and picked up a large stone beside him, then smashed it violently onto the Master's thigh.
"No!" Liu Erlong cried miserably as she watched the stone hit the Master's leg.
Bang!The stone struck the Master's knee, and a crisp sound rang out. The unconscious Master screamed in pain.
"Ah!" Another scream followed.
"Xiao Gang, don't blame me. I cannot watch Er Long sister be violated. Forgive me!" Flander said, yet his hands did not relent.
The stone in his hands smashed downward with force. Everyone's eyes followed it. When they saw the Master's arms also shattered, Dugu Bo, watching with Cheng Xiao, gasped.
"Kid, your ruthlessness is no less than mine." Dugu Bo clicked his tongue and said.
"Being merciful to the enemy is cruelty to yourself. Old Poison, you understand this better than I do, right?" Cheng Xiao turned to Dugu Bo and smiled.
"Hahaha, no wonder we get along. Seems we are of the same kind!" Dugu Bo stroked his chin and laughed.
"Same stench, huh." Cheng Xiao smiled, then waved at the Three-Eyed Demon Ape.
The Three-Eyed Demon Ape, seeing Cheng Xiao's gesture, understood the king's intent. Its grip on Liu Erlong's hands relaxed, and it vanished in a puff of black smoke.
The remaining shadow soldiers also dissipated into black smoke upon seeing this.
In fact, the Three-Eyed Demon Ape had no interest in human female Soul Masters. Cheng Xiao had only said that to force Flander into a choice. After all, what could be more entertaining than witnessing friends fighting among themselves?
After a short while, with the Master's screams ceasing, Flander thoroughly broke the Master's hands and feet. To avoid Cheng Xiao finding fault, he even acted more ruthlessly than he had imagined, nearly killing the Master by accident.
"Cheng… Cheng Xiao, I did as you said. Can we… leave now?" Flander's body trembled as he approached Cheng Xiao. Seeing Liu Erlong sprawled on the ground, dusty and beaten, he did not even dare to look at her.
"Mm… well done. You performed your duty well, Dean Flander." Cheng Xiao turned his gaze to the half-dead Master nearby, then cupped his hands toward Dugu Bo.
"Senior Dugu, as you see, they have received the punishment they deserve. Please spare their lives."
In Cheng Xiao's mind, killing them would have satisfied him. But sometimes, living was more painful than death. Moreover, if they were truly killed, Cheng Xiao himself might not mind, but Dugu Bo would surely have to go into hiding. As a friend, Cheng Xiao did not wish to see Dugu Bo face that.
Letting them go might prevent some future troubles—it was not entirely useless.
Dugu Bo's eye twitched. Looking at the dazed Golden Iron Triangle trio, he sneered:
"For Cheng Xiao's sake, I'll give you one chance. Remember, if you see me again, leave quietly."
Dugu Bo understood. Killing the Golden Iron Triangle and Tang San would not matter much to him, but he had a granddaughter. He could not hide with Dugu Yan forever. And how long could he live anyway? Once he died, what would happen to his granddaughter?
For the sake of his granddaughter and himself, Dugu Bo decided to let these four leave. He was not afraid of revenge. Before becoming a titled Douluo, he had often been sought after for revenge. But those people were mostly dead anyway.
Hearing Dugu Bo really let them go, Flander and Liu Erlong looked at each other in disbelief. But seeing Dugu Bo's impatient expression, they quickly carried Tang San and the Master and left, fearing Dugu Bo might change his mind and not let them go.
"Thank you, Senior Dugu, for sparing us today. The Golden Iron Triangle takes leave."
Watching the four leave, Dugu Bo did not stop them. Once out of sight, he glanced at Cheng Xiao with a meaningful look.
"If not for Nash's dragon roar today, I would have tortured these four to death with poison."
"Old Poison, actually… that dragon roar wasn't Nash's. It was mine." Cheng Xiao scratched his head awkwardly.
"What? You did it?" Dugu Bo was stunned, then slapped Cheng Xiao's head, laughing and scolding:
"You little rascal, really full of tricks! I, a titled Douluo, felt my aura disturbed hearing your roar. If it were someone of equal level, they might have been killed outright!"
"But you, kid… your ruthlessness is not inferior to mine. It's a pity you let these three go so cheaply. If not for Yan Yan, I wouldn't have cared about the trivial matters."
"Hahaha, Old Poison, if you had killed them, even the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus, Tang Hao, might have come after you. Then you'd truly lose out." Cheng Xiao smiled.
"I'm just preventing you from losing too much, alright?"
"Tsk, don't act all smug just because you got lucky." Dugu Bo shook his head, scanning the surrounding immortal-grade herbs and murmuring:
"If I really had to hide here, I'd still be a bit reluctant to leave these plants."
"Then you haven't hidden yet. If it really doesn't work, ask my teacher for help."
"I won't bother with that damn chrysanthemum. A grown man, spending all day dealing with that scent… really infuriates me. I don't even know how that ghost endures it."
