Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 642 Chen Jiu Si, you are our strongest mouth double!
Mr. Beijiang and Old Man Nanyu are the most typical cannon fodder candidates. These two are the kind of people who are rather pretentious. They joined the Tang Clan and the Whale Shark Gang, but they always wanted to maintain their own personalities. However, they did not have the courage to directly confront Tang Bao and Tong Wei like the troublemakers.

Therefore, he was the kind of person who wanted to get close to Tang Bao and Tong Wei, but also had a bit of pride in being a master. So when he was spotted out, his expression was quite bad.

It's like being a scapegoat by your boss, your face is priceless. You look at the lords you've all pledged allegiance to, your expression changes, you really don't want to go forward, but they're already staring at you nakedly, so even if you don't want to, there's nothing you can do.

If they were to offend these two big shots at this point, even a fool would know they would be in deep trouble.

Having figured this out, the two looked at each other, their faces full of bitterness.

Tang Bao and Tong Wei weren't fools either; they knew exactly what the two were thinking. They exchanged a glance, and then Tang Bao spoke up: "Gentlemen, we're entrusting this matter to you. You must find out the true strength of this Chen Jiu Si. With so many of us working for so long, whether we can defeat him in one battle depends on you two."

"I thank you both in advance!"

Tang Bao bowed slightly to the two men. Seeing Tang Bao's expression, Mr. Beijiang and Old Man Nanyu looked even more distressed.

At this moment, Tong Wei spoke up: "As the saying goes, 'It takes a thousand days to raise an army for one day to use it.' Normally, the fewer people who enter this dragon vein, the greater the probability of obtaining an opportunity. However, I disregard everything else and still discussed with Sect Master Tang to give all the martial artists who have been cultivating diligently a chance, allowing you to have a chance to try your luck."

"But there's no such thing as a free lunch. Some things you have to give something in return for. It's against the natural order to get something without giving anything in return. So, this task is entrusted to you two. You must do a good job for us. Remember, we won't treat you unfairly."

After saying this, Tong Wei's expression turned serious. "But if you don't perform well for me and cause any trouble, don't blame me and Sect Leader Tang for being ruthless!"

"Is it Sect Leader Tang?"

Tong Wei looked at Tang Bao, his meaning clear: although we're playing good cop and bad cop, you can't let me be the only bad guy. You have to give me a statement, or who will you take the fall for?

Tang Bao looked at Tong Wei after hearing this, and then said, "Of course, Chief Tong's idea is my idea."

Tong Wei was satisfied with Tang Bao's answer, and then looked at the two of them and said, "Alright, don't hesitate, go."

Mr. Beijiang looked at Elder Nanyu and then spoke up, saying, "You two patriarchs, we can be the pioneers, but I have some things I want to say beforehand, and I hope you two patriarchs can give them a good consideration."

Tang Bao and Tong Wei narrowed their eyes slightly, and then said, "Tell me what you have to say."

Mr. Beijiang said, “My two ancestors, this Chen Jiusi has a fearsome reputation. He has the record of killing Bolot Timur, a fourth-level Molten God. Brother Nanyu and I are only second-level Molten Gods. Even if we risk our lives, we may not be able to find out the depth of Chen Jiusi’s strength.”

"Therefore, esteemed ancestors, we can only guarantee that we will do our best, but we cannot guarantee that we will definitely achieve any goal. If you are not satisfied with this and insist that we risk our lives, we are too weak to disobey you."

"However, I think this will also discourage the other fellow practitioners present. If the hearts of the people are lost, it will be difficult to lead the two patriarchs' teams!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Bao and Tong Wei's expressions immediately turned grim. However, before they could process their thoughts, Mr. Beijiang continued, "I know that what I'm saying may seem like absurd to you two, but it's the truth. I hope you two elders can consider it. We're willing to risk our lives, but I don't think you two elders want to use our lives to test the depths of Chen Jiu Si's abilities."

Mr. Beijiang was clearly not a kind person. He directly exposed the two elders' thoughts, saying, "You want me to be cannon fodder, right? I'll be frank. You don't really want me to be cannon fodder, do you?" He used this as a way of advancing while retreating, thus putting the other party in a passive position.

His effect was obvious and remarkable, catching Tang Bao and Tong Wei completely off guard. They frowned slightly. As leaders, there were some things they couldn't do too openly, just like today's incident. Although everyone knew that these two unlucky guys were chosen to die, no one would think about it too much unless it was pointed out.

However, if this matter is brought to the forefront as Mr. Kitagawa has done, it will be difficult to handle, because making it too obvious will indeed be hard for people to accept.

Having figured this out, Tang Bao and Tong Wei exchanged a glance, surprised that Mr. Beijiang possessed such eloquence.

Thinking this to himself, he then said, "Yes, what Mr. Beijiang said is quite reasonable. It was our oversight that we didn't consider things thoroughly enough."

Tang Bao stepped in to smooth things over, while Tong Wei frowned. Tang Bao said, "In that case, you two are only going to test the waters. If things become unbearable, Chief Tong and I will take action ourselves and will never let your lives be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Beijiang and Old Man Nanyu were both delighted. What they wanted was this promise. At least, Tang Bao and Tong Wei couldn't break their promise in front of everyone. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a direct slap in the face?
Therefore, the two of them were quite satisfied at this point.

At this moment, Tang Bao looked at the two of them and said, "Do you two have anything else to say? If not, let's go forward."

Mr. Beijiang and the old man from Nanyu exchanged a glance, and then walked forward side by side.

Seeing the two of them like this, Tong Wei whispered to Tang Bao, "They're such ungrateful bastards. Why did you agree to help them in case of crisis? If that's the case, we might as well have just taken action ourselves."

Tang Bao said, "They've put us in this predicament. If we don't give them a satisfactory answer, this team will probably be hard to manage. As for why we don't just take action, it's simple. Let the two of them try out Chen Jiu Si's methods first. It will definitely help us."

Tong Wei said, "Hmph, that's only because it's you. If it were me, I would never agree to their conditions. Bei Jiang would have had a way to die."

Tang Bao said, "That's all for later. As for how to settle things, we'll talk about that after we leave the dragon vein. Don't reveal anything now, or it will definitely cause another big problem."

Tong Wei said, "Fine, I know. For that opportunity, I'd swallow even a pile of shit in front of me."

Tang Bao said, "Hehe, with Brother Tong's enlightenment, why worry about not becoming a master!"

Tong Wei said, "Don't flatter me. To be honest, haven't you been wanting to strangle them for a long time?"

Tang Bao chuckled and said, "How could I be like that? Hehehe... You've misunderstood, you've definitely misunderstood."

Tong Wei glanced at Tang Bao and thought to himself that this old schemer was actually even more ruthless than him, but he was just acting harmless. Was his title of "Living Yama" just a joke?

Thinking this, Tong Wei said, "Fine, you're not a living devil, you're a great philanthropist, okay?"

Tang Bao chuckled but didn't reply, his eyes fixed on the old man from Beijiang and Nanyu with obvious hostility.

At this moment, Beijiang and the old man from Nanyu walked side by side. The old man from Nanyu then spoke up, "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would have lost my life." "You're too kind. We're in the same boat. I was just trying to save myself. But Brother Nan, we've really angered Tang Bao and Tong Wei this time. Things might get complicated in the future."

Upon hearing this, the old man from Nanyu said, "Given Tang Bao and Tong Wei's temperament, they may have to be careful not to act out while inside the dragon vein. But once we're outside the dragon vein, these two guys will probably want to kill us right away. So if we get a chance to leave the dragon vein, we should each run for our lives."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Beijiang sighed and said, "I thought that the impending calamity meant an opportunity had arrived, but who would have thought that this opportunity would be so elusive? I have become the first one to be sacrificed to the heavens. How tragic, how tragic, how tragic!"

The old man from Nanyu said, "If this matter is over, I will go back to the mountains and forests, cultivate my two acres of meager land, and live out my days in solitude. That would be fine. I will never again try to do something that is too good for me, trying to become one of the few among millions."

Mr. Beijiang looked at the old man from Nanyu and said, "Hehe, Brother Nan, you have a good temperament. It's just a pity that I still have things I can't let go of. Otherwise, I would also go back with Brother Nan. Wouldn't that be wonderful!"

The old man from Nanyu said, "Hehe, returning is so difficult. I don't know if we can get through this today."

Mr. Beijiang said, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say."

Thinking this, he followed Elder Nanyu and Mr. Beijiang and leaped into the central area.

Li Siqi, who was watching the commotion from a distance, said, "Hehe, Tang Bao and Tong Wei really found a jinx."

Damopa said, "These two are truly pitiful!"

Thinking this, the two exchanged a glance, and then Li Siqi said, "But it's fine, two suicide ghosts, testing Chen Jiu Si's bottom line, this is more in line with my wishes."

As he said this, Damoba said, "Yes, this Chen Jiu Si is really hard to fathom. We still don't know what his trump card is."

After saying this, the two stopped talking and looked at Mr. Beijiang and Old Man Nanyu in the distance.

Tread!

The two leaped into the arena. Chen Jie, who had his arms crossed, sensed their entry, opened his eyes, glanced at them, and then said, "Hmm, are you two cannon fodder pushed out to die?"

Upon hearing this, the two were stunned for a moment, and then their faces turned very ugly. Although they didn't quite understand the meaning of the word "cannon fodder," when combined with the word "sending to one's death," they instantly understood a lot.

At this moment, the two looked at Chen Jie with bitter faces and said, "Chen Jiu Si, we originally had no enmity or grudge against each other, but now this situation is out of necessity, so please forgive us."

Chen Jie looked at the two and said, "You two are too kind, but with so many eyes watching you, how can I possibly let you off the hook?"

"And Tang Bao and Tong Wei, those two so-called fourth-level Fusion Gods, are so cowardly to use you as cannon fodder. It's utterly laughable."

At this point, Chen Jie continued, "Why don't you go back first and let Tang Bao and Tong Wei, those two cowards, fight me? Don't risk your lives to test me, it's pointless."

When Chen explained this, his voice was not hushed at all, and it was clearly heard by Tang Bao and Tong Wei who were watching from the side.

The phrase "coward" in particular caused the two of them to lose face completely.

At this moment, their underlings behind them were all looking at the two of them, pointing and whispering, which made Tong Wei frown and about to explode. Tang Bao's face was also ashen, but he still tried to put on a smile, as if he wanted to swallow all his anger.

Tong Wei then whispered, "I have never suffered such humiliation in my life. You coward! When I faced Master Zhang, I dared to come out and greet him before running away. When have I ever been a coward?"

Tang Bao looked at him and shook his head, saying, "Let's not talk about meeting Master Zhang."

Tong Wei said, "What's there to hide? Who wouldn't run away if they encountered Master Zhang? Wouldn't you run away?"

Tang Bao's face darkened even more. Back then, he not only ran away, but he even knelt down.

Tang Bao, however, was thick-skinned and couldn't see through it. He simply said, "Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird, let's see what Chen Jiu Si is capable of."

Tong Wei gritted his teeth and said, "I hope this Chen Jiu Si has some skill, otherwise if I find out he's just bluffing, I'll crush his head!"

As he spoke, Tong Wei's face was full of murderous intent, and it seemed that he was really angered by Chen Jie.

At this moment, Tang Bao said sinisterly from the side, "No need for Brother Tong to take action. My Tang Clan has thirty-six ways to torture people, thirty-six ways, a full thirty-six ways."

Tong Wei looked at Tang Bao, who was exuding a cold aura, and said, "Brother Tang seems even angrier than I am."

Tang Bao remained silent, merely observing the scene with a cold gaze.

Seeing this scene before him, Tong Wei didn't say much, but just looked at the scene.

Meanwhile, Mr. Beijiang and Elder Nanyu were also very happy. After all, Chen Jiusi was practically their mouthpiece, saying everything they wanted to say. At this moment, they felt very pleased.

Tang Bao and Tong Wei, the two who benefited the most, hid behind and acted like cowards, leaving the risks to themselves. These scoundrels deserve to be cursed, but unfortunately they didn't dare to. However, they were still very happy to have Chen Jie help them curse.

However, since they had already entered the arena, they couldn't leave safely. At this moment, the two looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiu Si, we had no choice but to do this. Please go easy on us."

Chen Jie looked at the two men after hearing this and said, "Gentlemen, although it is pitiful that you have been pushed to the front to be cannon fodder, I will not hold back when it comes to fighting. If you get bumped or injured, don't blame me."

As he spoke, Chen Jie raised his hand and struck a pose!
