Chapter 1954 - 1946: Crack Earth Gang, How Dare You!
Guo Xiaofan was about to speak again when Guo Tai tugged on his robe and shook his head. He knew it was futile for his son to argue further; any more argument would likely lead to another whipping.The whip marks on Huang Peng and Guo Xiaofan from a few days ago had not yet healed.
Seeing his father signaling him to stop, Guo Xiaofan grudgingly held back.
"Why aren’t you digging yet!" The Heavenly God disciple of the Crack Earth Gang saw Guo Xiaofan fall silent, and shouted coldly, waving an iron whip in his hand. It cracked the air and landed with a boom just a centimeter away from Guo Xiaofan, only a centimeter away!
Guo Xiaofan, Guo Tai, Huang Peng, and others broke into a cold sweat.
Guo Xiaofan’s eyes flamed with anger.
The Crack Earth Gang’s Heavenly God disciple looked down with disdain and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you that, for everyone else, the mining quota for next month will double, but for you guys, it’s triple!"
"What?!" Guo Xiaofan, Guo Tai, Huang Peng, Su Yan, Huang Min, and the Heavenly Buddha Emperor’s people were all outraged.
Doubling it was already pushing them to death; tripling it was a certain death sentence!
Even though Huang Peng, Su Yan, and the others were at the Divine-level Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak, they would never be able to complete it, and failing to do so would result in being whipped to death by these Heavenly God disciples from the Crack Earth Gang!
Clearly, these Heavenly God disciples wanted Huang Peng and Guo Xiaofan to die in a month.
"Why?!" Guo Xiaofan asked angrily.
"Why?" The Heavenly God disciple of the Crack Earth Gang grinned, his teeth very white: "Because I don’t like you."
"You!" Guo Xiaofan’s eyes were bloodshot.
The Heavenly God disciple laughed and said, "Kid, do you really want to kill me? Unfortunately, you don’t have the power to do so. Do you know why I haven’t killed you all immediately? Because I want you to feel the threat of death day by day, the fear of death day by day over the next month, making you fully aware of your inevitable death in a month, yet being powerless to do anything about it, unable to escape the agony of death!"
Although these Crack Earth Gang disciples couldn’t kill these mining slaves indiscriminately, killing a few to set an example was no problem.
Guo Xiaofan yelled angrily and was about to charge forward, but Guo Tai and the Heavenly Buddha Emperor held him back with all their might.
"That’s enough, Xiao Fan!" Huang Peng suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Let’s all start digging!"
The other mining slaves had already been digging desperately.
Hearing Huang Peng’s voice, Guo Xiaofan calmed down.
The Huang Family began to dig silently.
The Heavenly God disciple of the Crack Earth Gang sneered, "A bunch of scum."
Days passed.
Due to the whip marks from a few days ago on Huang Peng and Guo Xiaofan, and their full exertion using divine power to mine, their injuries worsened, and their wounds never healed, bleeding continuously.
"Brother Peng, Xiao Fan, stop digging!" Su Yan pleaded sorrowfully upon seeing this.
With their injuries, if Huang Peng and Guo Xiaofan continued like this, they wouldn’t last a month before collapsing.
Huang Peng shook his head, "We’ll dig as much as we can. Next month, Xiao Fan and I won’t complete the task, but we’ll give the ore we dig to you all, so you can finish." His voice was filled with bleakness.
He knew he was doomed, so he wanted to dig as much as possible to supplement Su Yan, Huang Min, and the others, ensuring they wouldn’t be whipped for not completing the task next month.
"Brother Peng!"
"Father!"
Su Yan, Huang Min, and others choked with emotion.
"Xiao Fan and I will go first. You must hold on. If you manage to see Xiao Long, have him kill those Crack Earth Gang bastards for us!"
"Alright, everyone, keep digging!"
Huang Peng composed himself with resolve and continued to dig unrelentingly.
Su Yan, Huang Min, and others mourned silently.
Another ten days passed.
In the main hall of the Crack Earth Gang, Cheng Guotao, the head of the gang, was obsequiously accompanying a tall, middle-aged man. This man was Hu Qingzhong, the Gu’an Sect Master, who had asked the Crack Earth Gang for an increased monthly quota of red gold ore twenty days ago.
Gu’an Sect was a first-class power in the Divine World and one of the major families on the Firestone Divine Plane, a power the Crack Earth Gang sought to curry favor with.
The Crack Earth Gang mainly sold their mined iron to Gu’an Sect.
"Cheng Guotao, ten days until the ore delivery for next month. There won’t be any issues with the red gold ore quota, right?" Gu’an Sect Master Hu Qingzhong casually asked.
The Crack Earth Gang master, Cheng Guotao, laughed heartily, "No issues, absolutely no issues. Rest assured, Master Hu. We’ve captured another batch of Divine-level slaves recently. No problem at all! If you’re not assured, we can go check the mining area?"
Hu Qingzhong nodded, "Alright, since there’s nothing else to do."
Immediately, Cheng Guotao accompanied by top Crack Earth Gang experts escorted Hu Qingzhong towards the mining area.
As the mining area was not far, they soon arrived.
The Crack Earth Gang disciples guarding the mining area were so frightened upon seeing Cheng Guotao and Hu Qingzhong arrive that they hurriedly bowed down to greet them.
Introduced by Cheng Guotao, Hu Qingzhong strolled through the mining area. But as Hu Qingzhong, Cheng Guotao, and others passed by Huang Peng, Su Yan, and Guo Xiaofan, Huang Peng and Guo Xiaofan, struggling due to their injuries, could no longer hold on and collapsed.
Hu Qingzhong frowned, "Disgusting!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Guotao’s face changed, and he quickly shouted at the Crack Earth Gang disciples, "Hurry up and drag them away for burial!"
The Crack Earth Gang disciples immediately swarmed to drag Huang Peng and Guo Xiaofan away.
"No, please, don’t!" Su Yan and Huang Min’s faces were filled with terror as they rushed up, desperately protecting Huang Peng and Guo Xiaofan, crying out.
Although Huang Peng and Guo Xiaofan had fainted, they weren’t dead yet.
Guo Tai, the Heavenly Buddha Emperor, and others also rushed forward to block them desperately.
However, how could Su Yan, Huang Min, Guo Tai, and the Heavenly Buddha Emperor, mere Divine-level individuals, stop these Crack Earth Gang Heavenly God disciples? Soon, Su Yan and Huang Min were kicked away.
Huang Peng and Guo Xiaofan were dragged away like trash by the Crack Earth Gang disciples.
At this moment, the Netherworld King Ship was speeding through the void towards the Firestone Divine Plane. From the control room, Huang Xiaolong could already see the Firestone Divine Plane ahead.
Just then, a signal token vibrated. Huang Xiaolong took it out and, upon seeing it, his face changed, giving way to overwhelming killing intent, "Crack Earth Gang, how dare you!"
Fang Xuanxuan and Peng Xiao saw the signal token, and their faces also changed drastically.
Huang Xiaolong accelerated the Netherworld King Ship.
Mere breaths later, the Netherworld King Ship descended onto the Firestone Divine Plane. As Huang Xiaolong, the Four Unlikes, the Light Angel, the Undying Netherworld Guards, and the Ice Chi Dragon didn’t conceal their auras, the moment the Netherworld King Ship descended, the entire Firestone Divine Plane resounded with a tremendous roar.
At that instant, every corner of the Firestone Divine Plane, every family, every disciple, every demon beast, and every living being felt the terrifying aura emanating from Huang Xiaolong, the Four Unlikes, the Light Angel, the Undying Netherworld Guards, and the Ice Chi Dragon! Felt that terrifying killing intent!
