Chapter 23: Poor Zhu Ganglie, look at how he was beaten
"A-da!"
"A-da! A-da!"
"A-da-da-da-da-da-da!"
After Tang An finished a set of cool combos, she wiped the tip of her nose with her right index finger, looking like she was impressed by her own coolness.
And Zhu Ganglie, who was under her feet, was now truly beaten into a pig head, a bruised and swollen version of a pig head.
He used all his strength to look up at Tang An, thinking that this beating was finally over, and revealed a trace of a smile of surviving a disaster.
However!!!
His eyes froze on his face when he saw Tang An pick up a larger version of a hammer-shaped magic treasure.
"Mommy~"
Beaten so badly, this "Mommy" was called out with such grievance, fear, weakness, and helplessness.
"Calling anything is useless."
"Watch me, Invincible Earth-Splitting Hammer!"
"A-da!"
Tang An raised the hammer with both hands and started the invincible explosive hammering mode.
"Bang!"
"Clang!"
"Da-da-da-da-da-da-da!!!"
This multi-speed hammering, even good pork would be hammered into dumpling filling.
Look at the ground again; the previously round and fat Zhu Ganglie was now a flattened black wild boar.
"Phew~ finished the job."
Tang An was so tired that she was sweating; she put down the hammer and wanted to turn around to show off her achievements. But, after turning around, where was anyone behind her?
"Eh? Where are the people?"
She turned around and looked for them, only to find that her three disciples didn't know when they had moved far away from her, almost hiding out of the cave entrance.
Looking at Xiaotian Quan again, it was scared into a dog, hiding behind Yang Jian and shivering.
"Am I that scary?" Tang An thought it was okay; wasn't she cool?
Sun Wukong laughed "hehe," "No, no, Master is not scary at all, not scary."
Saying Master is not scary with his mouth, but his behavior was genuinely retreating several steps.
After all, with Zhu Ganglie being beaten up first, at this moment, everyone was afraid of becoming the second Zhu Ganglie.
"Little Nezha~" Tang An looked at Nezha who was staring at her blankly.
With Nezha's personality, who had he ever been afraid of? When had he ever been cowardly?
But...
But his master, this little thing, was really scary when she exploded. Even scarier than the big demons he had seen.
It wasn't that her combat power was scary, but for some reason, he just felt it was scary.
Nezha only had one thought in his heart right now: absolutely don't provoke her now.
"Whoosh~"
Tang An heard the movement beside her and turned her head to look at Zhu Ganglie.
"Hey, special effects sound, hey."
That black pig, which had been beaten flat by Tang An, returned to the size of a normal pig after a "whoosh."
"Nezha, Wukong, carry the pig demon back, let's slaughter the pig for the New Year."
Tang An put the big hammer and meteor hammer back into the Universe Bag, and Nezha and Sun Wukong responded and came over.
The two found a thick tree trunk, carried the beaten-to-death pig demon, and left the cave.
Those girls kidnapped by Zhu Ganglie had already been sent out of the cave by Yang Jian and returned home when Tang An was beating Zhu Ganglie just now.
"Let's go, let's have a big meat meal today." Tang An clapped her hands, tired and hungry.
Yang Jian waited for Tang An to walk over before leaving with her.
In this cave, except for Zhu Ganglie, there were no other little demons, so there was no need to deal with them.
After the two left the cave, they both looked up at the sky.
The sky was flowing with light during the day, like a cover of auspicious clouds. Clearly, a god had returned to his position.
Tang An and Yang Jian looked at each other, both with knowing smiles in their eyes.
"Congratulations to the Master, successfully passed the 'Beat Gao Lao Zhuang' dungeon, obtained a reward, cultivation level promoted to Human Immortal, reward settled after the eighty-one tribulations are successful."
That is to say, she was already a Human Immortal. But, she had to pass the eighty-one tribulations to attain the Dao and ascend on the spot.
"In addition, congratulations to the Master for accumulating five hundred merit points, opening the Merit Mall."
"The Master can propose whatever she wants, and the system will provide it for the Master to exchange after evaluating the corresponding merit points."
Tang An was a bit surprised; she didn't expect that her negative two hundred and fifty merit points not only balanced the account but also earned five hundred merit points, opening the system mall.
"Then exchange a bucket of lollipops for me; I've been drawing pies for the child for so long, it's time to fulfill them."
"Okay, Master."
"By the way, I'm in a good mood today and can slaughter a pig for the New Year, exchange some firecrackers for me to play with."
"Okay, Master."
Tang An only spent ten merit points to exchange for these.
But the things she was about to do with firecrackers were absolutely immoral.
Gao Lao Zhuang, Gao Manor.
When Tang An returned, Gao Yuanwai had already organized the maids and servants in the manor to slaughter the pig.
They didn't dare to eat it, but the benefactor had spoken, and it was such a satisfying thing to do, so they didn't hold back at all when slaughtering the pig.
"Benefactor, benefactor."
Seeing Tang An and Yang Jian return, Gao Yuanwai quickly called some people to come out together and kowtow to Tang An and Yang Jian.
Tang An and Yang Jian quickly helped them up; such a big battle made Tang An feel a bit embarrassed.
"It is our duty to eliminate harm for the people, you don't have to be polite."
"In addition, your daughters were all imprisoned by the pig demon, waiting to be eaten."
"Fortunately, people have been saved, and we have also examined their bodies, and there is no harm. They only need to be well-nurtured and adjusted, and they can recover as before."
The families whose daughters were kidnapped thanked them one after another again.
Guest room, courtyard.
Nezha and Sun Wukong went to learn how to slaughter a pig, so only Yang Jian and Tang An were here.
Yang Jian looked at Tang An in confusion, "Why did you explain it like that just now?"
Tang An took a sip of tea, rarely serious for a moment.
"In this era, a woman's reputation is too important. They will have to marry in the future. If the situation in the cave is known to others, their reputation will be lost."
"Whether it is the families of those women or their future husbands, they can accept a victim who was almost eaten by a pig demon."
"But they will never accept a survivor who was kidnapped by a pig demon and did those stimulating scenes, yet survived."
"Even if Zhu Ganglie caught those girls and didn't really do anything to them."
"However, if this is said, you believe it, I believe it. But the suspicion and prejudice of the world will not believe it."
Yang Jian formally looked at Tang An; he only then discovered that the girl in front of him not only lived transparently, but the depth of her view of things was also very unexpected.
"Zhu Ganglie dies, Marshal Tianpeng returns to his position. For him, it is indeed a correct decision."
Actually, this game is not difficult to see through.
After all, Zhu Ganglie had been here for several years, and it was only when they arrived recently that he suddenly went crazy, which already showed that there was something tricky about it.
Coupled with the fact that Zhu Ganglie didn't really resist during the fight, but let Tang An beat him to death, it can be seen what his purpose was.
The Destined One beats the pig demon to death, one passes the tribulation successfully, and one passes the tribulation successfully.
This is a win-win situation.
As for whether this matter was arranged from above, or a coincidence, or Zhu Ganglie himself wanted to pass the tribulation and return to his position, waiting for the Destined One here for several years.
These are not important.
The important thing is that the matter is done.
"Having done so many satisfying things today, and being able to eat grilled wild boar, no matter what, this is a day worth celebrating."
Yang Jian saw Tang An's quirky eyes turn, and he knew someone was going to be unlucky.
"You... how do you want to celebrate?"
"Of course, celebrate with firecrackers."
"Firecrackers? What firecrackers? What do you use to set them off?"
Tang An smiled "hehe" and looked at Xiaotian Quan, who was gnawing on a plate of roasted chicken by the wall.
"Hehehehe..." ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
