Chapter 143: The Robbery of Yu Xiaogang
"A disciple of the Upper Three Clans?" Mo Ya said. "The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the Clear Sky Hammer, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. I've never heard of an Upper Three Clan disciple whose Martial Soul is a pig."
"This is my identity token," Yu Xiaogang said, feigning reaching into his sleeve to pull a token from his spirit tool. On its front was a thunder dragon. He secretly prayed the news of his expulsion hadn't spread yet. At the same time, he memorized their figures, thinking, Mo Ya, Bai Feng, just you wait. One day, I will reclaim the humiliation of today.
Mo Ya took the token and casually tossed it to Bai Feng. "Check its authenticity."
Bai Feng looked at it and feigned an extremely shocked expression, dropping his knife. "Mo Ya, he really is a disciple of the Upper Three Clans!"
"How is this possible?" Mo Ya snatched the token, looked at it, and exclaimed, "It really is!" He then pointed to the three large characters on the back of the token. "And he's even a direct disciple! I wondered why his Martial Soul would be a pig; it turns out he's Yu Xiaogang, who published the 'Ten Core Competitiveness of Martial Souls' and was finally expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
"You, Yu Xiaogang, how dare you deceive me!" Bai Feng feigned righteous indignation. "I hate nothing more than charlatans like you!" He kicked Yu Xiaogang a dozen meters away, then picked up his knife and chopped directly towards his forehead.
"No, don't!" Yu Xiaogang was scared out of his wits.
Clang— At the critical moment, Mo Ya blocked the strike. "It's not that I want to save him," he shook his head, "but he is, after all, the biological son of Thunder Douluo; we cannot kill him. But that doesn't mean we can't rob him. Anyway, he has already been expelled, so even if we rob him clean, the clan won't avenge him."
He pressed his own knife against Yu Xiaogang's neck. "If you know what's good for you, hand over all your valuables."
His heart sinking, Yu Xiaogang remembered the Immortal Herb. He would rather be killed than give that up. He pulled out a small money pouch. "Gentlemen... this is my entire fortune."
Mo Ya took it, weighed it lightly, then slapped him hard across the face. "Bastard, are you trying to give a beggar alms? Children of big families like you must carry spirit tools. Hand it over, or I'll kill you."
"You... you're going too far!" Yu Xiaogang stood firm for once. It concerned his lifeblood.
But what greeted him was a severe beating from Bai Feng. His technique was superb; he always avoided vital points, causing immense pain while keeping him conscious. Soon, Yu Xiaogang was beaten beyond recognition, howling like a ghost.
"Alright, Bai Feng, if you keep hitting him, you'll kill him," Mo Ya said, pulling him away. "Yu Xiaogang, for your father's sake, I think you should hand it over."
"I... I'll hand it over... cough..." he struggled to get up, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He took off his spirit tool bracelet and took out the jade box, pleading bitterly. "Two brave men, I'll give you both the spirit tool and this jade box. Can you leave this plant for me? It was my mother's favorite... It's not worth much, but it means a lot to me." He slowly opened the box, revealing the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma.
He could only pray they wouldn't recognize its value.
Unfortunately for him, the two exchanged a smile. One snatched the jade box and the other the spirit tool, then they simultaneously kicked him in the chest.
"Yu Xiaogang, do you take us for fools?" Mo Ya smiled. "This is no ordinary plant; it's clearly a Spirit Ganoderma worth ten thousand gold. Since you're so dishonest, don't blame us for being ruthless."
