Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 1004 - 513: A Hero’s Trials (Part 3)

Ah Gou also knew this fat man was unfathomable. Now that he was seen through, escape was impossible, he roared hysterically,

"If I don’t sell him out, how will I have my day? He still has a master! What do I have!

What’s the use of being good to me! He can only give me two pieces of bread! Can two pieces of bread fill me up!

I also want to succeed! I don’t want to be a beggar for life! I don’t want to only eat other people’s leftovers for life!"

Chen Xuantian shook his head and sighed,

"Knowing how to advance isn’t necessarily a bad thing; fame and fortune, who doesn’t want them.

But have you thought about it, your boss doesn’t owe you anything, he’s actually helped over a hundred people.

Why do others not climb over friends to rise? Why are you the only one who can betray your benefactor?

Is it possible you’ve already gone astray? Don’t you know how to reflect?"

"Because they’re stupid!!"

Ah Gou roared, snatching up a tile from the ground, gripping it like a dagger in his hand,

"He doesn’t owe me! I don’t owe him! I didn’t ask him for bread! I didn’t ask him to save me! He came on his own!

The Nangong Family has recruited him long ago, he refused to go! He didn’t want, I wanted!

Not because of what he gave me! This position I earned for myself! I owe him nothing! I owe him nothing!"

Chen Xuantian curled his lips,

"Forget it, you seem to be possessed, even if I give you a chance for survival, you would still go to the Nangong Family to inform?

But I’ve said it many times, this Taotie Bone is the Divinity Transformation Treasure, too crucial. It will really harm all your brothers, harm your boss, do you understand?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Ah Gou laughed out loud,

"Pah! Stop pretending to be a good person! Boss, boss, boss! You never thought of letting me off! You never even looked me in the eye!

Because you were after the boss! You were after that bone! You were also using us!

Once you’ve taken everything and left, what about us! What about us! Won’t we still have to serve the Nangong Family as cattle and horses!

So what’s wrong with seizing an opportunity to climb early! Self-interest is paramount, otherwise heavenly punishment! Such a simple truth, who doesn’t know! Stop pretending!"

Chen Xuantian made a face at him, pointing to the side,

"I know, for a petty person like you who forsakes loyalty for profit, a whip works best.

The principles of being a man, no matter how much I say, you won’t understand. I was speaking for him."

Ah Gou was stunned, turned his head to see Chan Zi standing dumbly on the boat, stupidly watching him.

"Boss..."

Chen Xuantian laughed beside him,

"Seems you’re not too stupid, realizing you can’t entrust brothers and great treasures to strangers you’ve just met, knowing to hurry back and check; this kid can still be taught. But I said, you handle your own calamity, I won’t interfere."

But no one paid attention to him at that moment.

Chan Zi carried a knife, jumped ashore, staring blankly at his friend.

While Ah Gou nervously watched the boss’s face, and the knife in his hand,

"Boss, Boss, I, I... we brothers together will serve the Young General!

Don’t listen to this fat man’s nonsense! The Young General is magnanimous! We’ll offer this Taotie Bone to him! He’ll definitely give us a chance to stand out!

By then, glory, wealth! Gold and silver jewelry! Mountain and sea delicacies! What wouldn’t we have! Never again will we starve or be bullied!"

Chan Zi said nothing, just stared at him, walking step by step, as if he didn’t recognize his own brother.

"This, this damned fat man is just a petty person! He’s sowing discord! He’s speaking nonsense!"

Ah Gou nervously retreated, pointing at Chen Xuantian who was watching the show and cursed,

"He’s trying to stir internal conflict between us to seize the treasure for himself! Don’t believe him!

We brothers united! Acting together! Kill this fat man! Present the Taotie Bone to the Nangong Family!

Now is the time they need people! I’ll plead for you! The Nangong Family will surely forgive your crimes! We brothers together will conquer the world!"

Chen Xuantian shrugged, remained silent.

Chan Zi suddenly stopped, staring at Ah Gou, unable to believe,

"Forgive? Crime? What did I do wrong? They are the ones giving us no way to live!"

"You, you... not submitting is wrong!!!"

Ah Gou suddenly kicked, breaking the branch supporting the lean-to, using the collapsing roof to bury Chan Zi, pounced on him, stepping on Chan Zi’s knife-wielding right wrist, kneeling on his chest, the tile in his hand aiming straight for Chan Zi’s neck!

And Chan Zi grabbed the tile with his left hand, not caring about the mixed blood of the two, just stared at Ah Gou,

"Where did I go wrong?"

Ah Gou screamed angrily, like a deranged jackal,

"What do you have to fight them with! What do you have to fight them with!

Just because you want to fight them, how much suffering have we endured! How many whips have we suffered!

Why can’t you just submit! Why!!"

"The officials are all a bunch of cursed dogs!!!"

Chan Zi shouted furiously, roaring like a lion,

"They’ve killed so many people! Starved so many people! Slaughtered so many but still oppress people! I absolutely will not spare them! Not even in death!"

But Ah Gou had the advantage in posture, pressing both hands holding the tile, the weight of his entire body pressing down,

"So I ask you, what do you have to fight them with! What skill do you have to fight them with! You have no skill and want to fight, sooner or later you’ll get us all killed!

Brother, brother! If you truly consider Ah Gou a friend, if you really are willing to risk your life for me! Then help me to the end!

Just give me your life! Count it as a debt I owe you!! You might as well die!! You die now!!"

"I won’t——!!!"

Chan Zi suddenly shot up, headbutting Ah Gou’s face, causing him to spray blood from his mouth and nose, flipped him over, swung his right arm, using the fist holding the wood knife, hammered punch after punch onto Ah Gou’s face!

"They’re the ones bullying people! Why should I admit fault!

They snatch money! Snatch food! Snatch land! Robbed my home of everything! Why should I admit fault!

They killed my father! Killed my mother! Killed my grandfather! Why should I admit fault!

They clearly have everything! Yet want to snatch everything away! Why should I admit fault!

I just want to take back what’s mine! Where exactly did I go wrong?!"

Ah Gou, beaten nearly to death, could only moan, spitting out blood foam,

"Brother... don’t... don’t kill me..."

Chan Zi, tears mixing with snot and blood, raised the knife but couldn’t bring it down, just sobbing to his friend,

"Ah Gou... I beg you... come back... don’t let them snatch you away too..."

Hence Ah Gou smiled at him, suddenly raising a hand, stabbing the tile in his hand towards Chan Zi’s chest.

Thus, Chen Xuantian flicked his finger, slicing off Ah Gou’s head.

Oh, my hand slipped...
