Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1409 - 681
Previously on Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups...
Looking at the stranger emerging from the well, Xu Hao took a half-step back, eyes full of caution as he stared at the other:
"Damn! What the hell are you? Are you incubating chicks at the bottom of the well in the middle of the night?"
"Alright, stop yelling."
Fang Cheng interrupted Xu Hao’s loud shouting and introduced:
"He’s a friend of mine, here to deal with Jiang Chen tonight."
Upon hearing Fang Cheng speak, Xu Hao finally released his tightly clenched fist and let out a long breath.
He craned his neck, curiously sizing up this unexpected guest.
The guy pulled out two broken glow sticks from his pants pocket and casually tossed them on the ground.
It turns out that the ghostly green light from the well earlier, aside from his unusually bright eyes in the dark, mainly came from the fluorescence of this thing.
Then, the man took out a neatly folded cotton handkerchief from his chest and leisurely wiped the dirt off his face.
Xu Hao pouted, muttering internally:
"The boss is such a tough guy, how did he make friends with such a sissy? Bringing a handkerchief for a fight, even more particular than a lady."
Cheng Jiashu naturally didn’t know Xu Hao’s inner complaints.
He folded the dirty handkerchief back and stuffed it into his pocket, patting the dust off his clothes.
Then he looked up, meeting the gaze of Fang Cheng, who was just a few steps away.
Seeing Fang Cheng now in nothing but a pair of red underpants, with a wild muscular build, his eye twitched twice.
"Is your fighting style always this hard on your clothes?"
Cheng Jiashu’s lips curled slightly, his tone carrying a hint of teasing and admiration:
"In the middle of the night, anyone who didn’t know better would think Ancient Locust Village just hosted a bodybuilding contest."
Fang Cheng ignored his jokes, nodding towards the well with his chin:
"Weren’t you outside setting up the array to block the earth veins? What were you doing in the well?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Jiashu immediately retracted his smile, his expression turning serious.
He turned back to glance at the deep well, explaining:
"The array hub of the Inner World was locked down by me long ago, otherwise Jiang Chen’s territory wouldn’t have collapsed so easily just now."
"However, after I severed the earth veins, I found the path of the underground Yin Qi returning was very strange, so I jumped to the bottom of the well, followed the path, and discovered a great secret below..."
At this point, Cheng Jiashu suddenly halted.
He shifted his gaze, glancing at Xu Hao, who stood beside them like a stick, with a hint of vigilance flickering in his eyes.
Fang Cheng understood his concern and spoke openly:
"He’s my subordinate, always loyally, all family. You can say whatever you want."
Upon hearing Fang Cheng’s evaluation, Xu Hao instantly looked energized, like he’d been injected with adrenaline.
He immediately straightened up, tugging at the tattered collar of his coat, puffing out his chest and holding his chin high.
Showing off as the most loyal lackey in the world.
Cheng Jiashu glanced at Xu Hao, slightly nodding in acceptance.
Then he cast his gaze towards the not far damaged side hall of the shrine.
"Since we’re all insiders, there’s no need to hide anything."
Cheng Jiashu paused, his tone turning cold:
"However, before that, we have two loose ends here that haven’t been dealt with."
His gaze seemed to penetrate the decaying wooden door, straight into the room.
Hiding under the altar of the side hall, Supervisor Wu and Qian Dongming both shivered.
They desperately shrank into the shadows, holding their breath for fear of making even the slightest sound.
"Are we doing a clean-up job?"
Xu Hao perked up immediately upon hearing this.
He clenched his fists, cracking his knuckles, and jumped out enthusiastically:
"Boss, I’m best at this kind of thing, leave it to me!"
Then he strode forward, stepping on the wild grass towards the side hall steps, deliberately letting out a few villainous laughs:
"Heh, heh, heh... Yo! Still hiding inside like turtles with their heads stuck? Do you think we’re blind?"
"If you don’t come out immediately, my big brother will smash this broken house with one punch, burying you alive inside!"
This intimidation tactic proved extremely effective.
"No, don’t! We’ll come out right now!"
From under the altar came the sound of rustling movement.
Next, Supervisor Wu, covered in mud, crawled out first.
Then he turned to grab Qian Dongming’s arm, dragging the paralyzed old man through the threshold together.
At this moment, the arrogance they once held was long gone, trembling as they knelt at the steps.
Supervisor Wu’s rigid face now showed complete awe towards Strength, appearing extraordinarily obedient and honest.
While Qian Dongming shook like he was electrified, not daring to lift his head.
"Bah! So it’s you two old bastards!"
Xu Hao walked up, kicked Supervisor Wu’s shoulder, and spat:
"Weren’t you pretty cocky when you tied me up earlier? Treating people like pigs or sheep to be slaughtered, calling them offerings, calling them blood food, and now you look so pathetic?"
"Do you even know how many innocent people were deceived by you, dying in this wretched village, becoming the monster’s food? Damned beasts!"
Xu Hao cursed, rolling up his sleeves, ready to exact revenge for being tied to a pole earlier.
Cheng Jiashu coldly watched the two kneeling on the ground, his tone without a hint of warmth:
"You aided the tyrant, deserving to die. Since you’re of no use in the living world, then continue pursuing your king in Hell."
