Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

Chapter 144: The Cruel Cheng Xiao

Looking at Flanders who had made his choice, Cheng Xiao grinned, and a chill suddenly rose in his dark eyes. "Beat the master to a cripple, and you can leave."

"This is impossible!" Hearing this, Flanders' face suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Cheng Xiao, you know, the master and I..."

"If you don't let him cripple you, then you'll be crippled." Cheng Xiao waved his hand, and in an instant, dozens of black shadows emerged from the shadows under his feet. Then, dozens of shadow soldiers surrounded Flanders and the other two.

"I almost forgot that the Three-Eyed Demon Ape is very interested in female soul masters. If you don't want your beloved Erlongmei to get hurt, do as I say."

After saying that, Cheng Xiao stopped talking nonsense. With a thought, the three-eyed demon ape walked out from behind him. Then, in front of Flanders, it grabbed Liu Erlong's hands and lifted her up without any ability to resist.

"Sister Erlong!" Looking at Liu Erlong who was captured by the three-eyed demon ape, Flanders' face turned pale as paper. He didn't want to hurt his brother, but he didn't want to see his beloved woman being ruined by a soul beast!
"Boss Fu, please don't hurt Xiaogang. He can no longer be a man. What will he do in the future?" Liu Erlong said crying.

"Second sister Long..." At this moment, the pressure of whether the Golden Iron Triangle can survive is all on Flanders alone. If they don't do as Cheng Xiao says, then none of them will survive. But if they do as Cheng Xiao says, the master will definitely become a cripple in the future.

But it would be better for him to die than to see Liu Erlong being abused by the soul beast with his own eyes!
"Xiao Gang, don't blame me. I had no choice but to sacrifice you to protect Erlongmei."

After preparing himself mentally, Flanders walked out of the encirclement of the shadow soldiers without looking back. As if to prevent Liu Erlong from getting hurt, he increased his speed a lot.

When he came to the unconscious master, he picked up a huge rock beside him without hesitation and smashed it hard on the master's thigh.

"No!" Liu Erlong cried out miserably as she watched Flanders smash the stone at the master's thigh.

Bang!
The stone hit the master's knee. Suddenly, a crisp sound was heard, and the unconscious master screamed in pain.

"Ah!" Another scream was heard.

"Xiaogang, don't blame me. I can't just watch Erlongmei get ruined. I'm sorry!" Flanders said this, but he didn't dare to relax his hands at all.

He smashed the stone in his hand down with force, and everyone's eyes followed the movement of the stone in Flanders' hand. When he saw that the master's arm was also broken, Dugu Bo, who was watching with Cheng Xiao, couldn't help but gasp.

“Boy, you are just as ruthless as I am.” Dugu Bo said, smacking his lips.

"Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself. I think you, old poisonous creature, understand this better than I do, right?" Cheng Xiao turned his head and smiled at Dugu Bo.

“Hahaha, no wonder I can get along so well with you, it seems we are the same kind of people!” Dugu Bo smiled, stroking his chin.

"Same smell, right?" Cheng Xiao smiled and waved at the three-eyed demon ape.

When the three-eyed demon ape saw Cheng Xiao waving his hand, it understood what the king meant. The palms that were grabbing Liu Erlong's hands loosened, and then turned into black smoke and dissipated.

When the other shadow soldiers saw this scene, they also turned into black smoke and disappeared.

In fact, the three-eyed demon ape was not interested in the human female soul master, but another ape soul beast. The reason why Cheng Xiao said this was just to let Flanders make a choice. What could be more interesting than a scene of brothers killing each other between good friends? After a while, as the master's screams stopped, Flanders completely broke the master's hands and feet. In order to prevent Cheng Xiao from finding fault, he even did it more ruthlessly than he imagined, and almost killed the master with a mistake.

"Cheng... Cheng Xiao, I did as you said. Can we... leave now?" Flanders walked to Cheng Xiao with a trembling body. When he walked over, he saw Liu Erlong lying on the ground covered in dust. Facing Liu Erlong's gaze, he didn't even dare to look at her.

"Well... well done, you fulfilled your duties very well, Dean Flanders." Cheng Xiao cast his eyes towards the half-dead master not far away, and then bowed to Dugu Bo, "Senior Dugu, you see, they have received the punishment they deserve, please spare their lives."

In Cheng Xiao's heart, killing them would indeed relieve his hatred, but sometimes, living is far more painful than death. Moreover, if he really killed them, he might be fine, but Dugu Bo would definitely have to hide from place to place. As a friend, he didn't want to see Dugu Bo facing this situation.

If we let them go, we can avoid some troubles, so it is not useless.

The corner of his eye twitched. Dugu Bo looked at the three members of the golden triangle who were in a trance. He sneered and said, "For Cheng Xiao's sake, I will give you one chance. Remember to hide when you see me again."

Dugu Bo knew that if he really killed the three members of the Golden Triangle and Tang San, he would not care, but he still had a granddaughter. He could not hide with Dugu Yan all his life. Besides, how long could he live? When he died, what would happen to his granddaughter?
For the sake of his granddaughter and himself, Dugu Bo decided to let the four people go. He was not afraid of being hunted for revenge. Before becoming a Titled Douluo, he had been hunted for revenge many times, but those people were basically all dead.

Hearing that Dugu Bo really let them go, Flanders and Liu Erlong looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe their ears. But seeing Dugu Bo's impatient expression, they quickly carried Tang San and Master on their backs.

"Thank you, Senior Dugu, for not killing me today. The Golden Iron Trio will now take their leave."

After saying that, Flanders and Liu Erlong carried the unconscious master and disciple and left quickly, fearing that Dugu Bo would suddenly change his mind and not let them go. If that happened, they would have no place to cry.

…………

Watching the four people leaving, Dugu Bo really didn't stop them. After he could no longer see the four people, he looked at Cheng Xiao meaningfully and said, "If it weren't for Nash's dragon roar today, I would have tortured them to death with poison."

"Old Poisonous Man, actually... that dragon roar was not made by Nash, but by me." Scratching his head, Cheng Xiao said somewhat embarrassedly.

"What the hell? Did you make that?" Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, then he slapped Cheng Xiao on the head, scolding him with a smile: "You are really a trickster. I, a Titled Douluo, have my aura disordered when I heard your dragon roar. If it were a spirit master of the same level, wouldn't he be killed by you?"

"But you are really a ruthless guy, just as ruthless as me. It's a pity that you let these three guys off so easily. If it weren't for Yanyan, I wouldn't care about so many trivial matters."

“Hahaha, old poison, if you really kill them, maybe the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and Tang Hao will come looking for you. By then, you will lose more than you gain.” Cheng Xiao smiled slightly and said, “I’m just stopping the loss for you, okay.”

“Tsk, don’t be so ungrateful, kid.” Dugu Bo shook his head, looking at the immortal herbs around him, and muttered, “If you really want me to hide, I’d be reluctant to leave the flowers and plants here.”

"Then you haven't hidden yourself yet. If it doesn't work, go find my teacher and ask him to help you."

"I don't need that damn chrysanthemum's help. Why does a grown man have to smell so good all day? It really piss me off. I don't know how that ghost can stand it."
