The Mightiest Little Peasant c1-799

by Watermelonian, 西瓜星人

  He thought that the gods must be helping him. He did not have a penny to his name when he was first released from jail, but someone found him and gave him a second chance at life.

  That person in a suit whose face was as cold as ice gave him everything, and in return, all he had to do was steal some blood. That was too easy.

  Furthermore, that person knew some supernatural tricks, which made Hu Dahai fear him even more.

  He was even thinking of asking the strange person to help him take revenge on Tang Hao in the future.

  Hu Dahai had never hated someone so much in his life before. That filthy kid was the bane of him.

  He was reduced to nothing twice, and it was all because of that filthy kid.

  He had dreamed of killing that kid many times!

  His face grimaced with hatred when the kid’s face appeared in his mind. It took him a while before he calmed his emotions again.

  “I should think positively at this time! Why am I thinking of the kid?” He mumbled and sucked viciously on the cigar.

  Then, he took the glass of liquor on his table and drained it.

  He spoke to the two women while wearing a perverted smile on his face, “Come to me, my pretties.”

  The two nurses walked over while wiggling their butts and leaned on each side of him.

  He kissed their faces while his hands went to work. He was so happy that he almost lost his mind.

  ‘This is heaven!’ He thought as he narrowed his eyes.

  Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. A few grunts could be heard, then the door was kicked open with a bang.

  Chapter 386 - Hu Dahai Cries

  “What’s going on? Who just kicked my door? Do they have a death wish?”

  Hu Dahai was unhappy that his enjoyment was interrupted.

  He continued cursing while he turned to look at the door.

  He wished that he had not looked. He immediately trembled with fear and his corpulent body nearly slid off the chair. His face went pale as a sheet.

  “You… You… Why is it you…” He stammered, as though he had seen a ghost.

  After being beaten up by the kid twice, the kid had scarred him psychologically.

  He nearly wailed in agony.

  He was only thinking about taking revenge but was not going to do it. He thought that merely thinking about the kid had sent him here, which was quite uncanny.

  However, he straightened his back and regained his courage.

  He nearly forgot that he had powerful allies, so what should he be afraid about?

  He coughed lightly and sat up straight. “What are you doing here, Tang kid? Don’t think that just because you have someone powerful backing you that you can be so arrogant!

  “Let me tell you, I have a legitimate job now. I’m the manager of this blood bank. How dare you barge into my office and kick open my door? I’ll call the police on you!”

  Tang Hao stepped into the room. He glared at Hu Dahai and chuckled.

  ‘This guy is still as pretentious as ever.’

  Hu Dahai was instantly furious. “What are you chuckling about? Get lost at this instant! You’re in my turf!”

  “Your turf?” Tang Hao said mockingly.

  “Of course! Are you blind? Didn’t you see the sign outside my room? I’m the manager here, don’t you know that? I’m the one in charge here!” Hu Dahai yelled arrogantly.

  “As far as I know, you were only released from jail not too long ago. How did you become the manager of this place so fast? Did you pull off an inside job?” Tang Hao said.

  Hu Dahai’s expression changed. “What inside job? I earned this post because I’m capable. Why, are you envious?

  “I know that there’s a grudge between us, but that is already the past. I’m warning you, you can’t afford to cross me now. I’m not like before.”

  “Is that so?” Tang Hao smirked.

  Hu Dahai became angrier than ever. He shoved the two nurses away and stood up.

  “You don’t believe me, you filthy kid? Do your worst. I’ll get someone to kill you!”

  Tang Hao narrowed his eyes.

  He took a big step forward and landed a big slap on Hu Dahai’s face.

  Slap!

  Hu Dahai’s face contorted and his eyes bulged. His body flew diagonally backward and slammed on the wall.

  “Aaaah!” The two nurses shrieked in fear.

  Tang Hao glanced at them and said, “Get lost!”

  The two nurses immediately rushed out of the office.

  At the same time, Taoist Master Chang Qing stepped into the office and closed the door.

  He smirked coldly. As he walked toward Hu Dahai, he clenched his fists tightly. “Damn fatty, you had a lot of fun beating me up, right?” He said.

  Hu Dahai’s mind was still in a muddle. He immediately came to his senses when he saw the Taoist master. “You… Aren’t you that stubborn old man?”

  Then, he was stunned.

  ‘Oh, f*ck!

  ‘So this is what it’s all about? Dammit, how do I know that you’re related to the filthy kid, you stubborn old man? You can’t blame me for beating you up! You were sneaking around suspiciously. Anyone would have thought that you’re a thief!’

  “Wait, my friends, you are mistaken!” He shrieked with a shrill voice.

  “Mistaken? My *ss is mistaken!”

  Taoist Master Chang Qing went and kicked Hu Dahai in the face.

  “Ow!”

  The fat man covered his face and squealed like a pig sent to the slaughter.

  “Serves you right for being arrogant! Serves you right for beating me up! I’ll beat you to death today!” Taoist Master Chang Qing did not show any mercy.

  The fat man wailed pitifully as Taoist Master Chang Qing sought his revenge. His voice shook the heavens and the earth.

  His face was swollen from the punches. His stomach was kicked countless times. He was even kicked between his legs.

  The Taoist Master stopped after about five minutes and sighed in satisfaction.

  “Phew! That felt good!”

  The fat man was curled up on the floor, wailing softly. He was almost in tears.

  Earlier, he thought that he was in paradise, but he soon found himself in hell.

  ‘It’s all because of that filthy kid!

  ‘If not for that filthy kid, I wouldn’t have to suffer like this!’

  He gritted his teeth, and resentment brimmed in his eyes. Grudges old and new gushed forth at that instant. The fires of anger burned in his chest.

  “Just you wait, you filthy kid, I’ll kill you!” He roared with a contorted face.

  Tang Hao sat on the office table and rolled his eyes at Hu Dahai. “You think you can do that?” He said nonchalantly.

  The condescending tone of voice made Hu Dahai even angrier than ever.

  “If you have the balls, let me make a phone call now. I’ll get someone over to kill you! You don’t know what kind of big trouble you’ve gotten yourself in. Hahaha! You’re dead meat!” Hu Dahai laughed maniacally.

  “What are you laughing about?” Taoist Master Chang Qing kicked him.

  “Make your phone call. I’ll wait here!” Tang Hao pointed at the landline phone next to him.

  “You’ll wait alright!” The fat man got on his feet, grabbed the receiver, and dialed a number.

  The call was soon answered.

  “Hey! Brother Cong? Someone’s here looking for trouble. He wants to wreck my blood bank. Come here quick… there’s two of them. They’re old enemies.”

  After ending the call, Hu Dahai laughed brazenly again. “You’re dead now, Tang kid!”

  “Is that so?” Tang Hao said coldly and slapped him again.

  Hu Dahai spun around like a top and fell on the floor.

  He had learned his lesson. He curled up at a corner and did not make a sound. His beady eyes glared at the two people.

  A little more than ten minutes later, footsteps were heard from outside the office. The door op
ened and a figure in a black suit and shades walked in.

  Hu Dahai reacted as though he had just seen a long-lost relative. He stood up, ran toward that person, and fell at his feet.

  He hugged the person’s leg and started wailing. “You’ll have to avenge me, Brother Cong! The kid and that filthy old man beat me up. You have to kill them both!”

  The man in the black suit furrowed his brows disdainfully.

  He was not very fond of the fat man. The only reason why he selected Hu Dahai for his dirty deed was that the fat man had a thick skin.

  He was not quite happy about being ordered around.

  As much as he did not like Hu Dahai, the fat man was nonetheless his minion, and he had to protect his minions.

  He lifted his head and looked in front of him.

  When he saw clearly who the kid was, he froze as though he had turned into stone. A shiver coursed down his spine as he turned around and prepared to run away.

  Right at that moment, an old man in his fifties or sixties closed the door. The old man looked at him with a sinister gleam in his eye and flourished several jade talismans.

  ‘I’m finished!’

  He trembled, and his face turned ashen.

  Chapter 387 - Into the Enemy’s Nest

  Slap! Bam! Pow! What a one-sided fight!

  Xu Cong, or rather, Wang Cong, suffered the same fate as Hu Dahai.

  He was curled up on the floor with a miserable expression, though there were no tears left to cry.

  He was unlucky enough to encounter Tang Hao. Even his ancestor could not defeat that young kid with freakish powers, so what chance did he have?

  Hu Dahai was shocked when he saw that.

  Brother Cong, with his mysterious supernatural powers, was beaten up by that old man and did not even dare to retaliate.

  ‘What… Just what the hell is going on?’

  He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

  When he opened his eyes again, the scene was just like before.

  “Wh… What happened, Brother Cong? I thought you’re very powerful!” Hu Dahai said, utterly confused.

  Wang Cong blew his top when he heard that.

  “F*ck your mother, you idiot! You dragged me into this mess. I’ll kill you!” Wang Cong pounced on Hu Dahai in a fit of rage and wra[[ed his hands around the fat man’s neck.

  Hu Dahai was utterly confused. A short while later, his eyes glazed over.

  “What are you doing? Don’t turn on yourselves!”

  The Taoist master stepped up and kicked Wang Cong away.

  “Tell me honestly. Where is the base of operations of the Wang family?”

  Wang Cong’s mouth was shut tight and did not say a word.

  “Oh, you’re a tough one!” The Taoist master smirked.

  “Let me!” Tang Hao flicked his wrist and a small bottle appeared in his hand. He walked over to Wang Cong and forced the contents of the bottle down his throat.

  “Cough cough!”

  Wang Cong choked on the potion and started coughing violently. He curled on the floor while trying to claw at his throat so that he would vomit the potion.

  Soon, his eyes glazed over. The truth potion was taking effect.

  “It’s my turn to ask you. Where is your base of operations, and where is that ancestor of yours?” Tang Hao crouched down and asked.

  Wang Cong was in a daze. A while later, he opened his mouth and spoke. “It is in a small village called Horsebridge Village in Province F. The ancestor is there too.”

  “Province F?” The Taoist master furrowed his brows. “Looks like they’ve hidden themselves very well. The senior brothers from Mao Mountain have combed the place several times and found nothing.”

  Tang hao smirked. Province F was to the south of Province Z, a little too close for comfort. It was not far away from Mao Mountain either. The old villain was quite brazen to hide somewhere so near to his enemies.

  He had expected him to hide in the barren wasteland in the west of the country.

  Tang Hao asked a few more questions about the details of their base of operations.

  After that, he knocked out Wang Cong with a karate chop and tied him up. Taoist Master Chang Qing brought him away.

  Tang Hao glanced at the fat man who was curled up dejectedly at one corner. He called Captain Zhou, told him about the incident at the blood bank so that he could come and make his arrest.

  Back in the car, he asked Taoist Master Chang Qing to update Mao Mountain on their findings.

  Mao Mountain immediately boiled over with activity.

  They mobilized almost everyone. With several elderly Taoist masters taking the lead, they rushed to Westridge District as fast as they could.

  It was night time when they arrived.

  The cars arrived one after another, forming a long line like a dragon. They stopped in front of Tang Hao.

  Then, the car doors opened, and the Taoist masters in neat black suits stepped out.

  “Oh, sorry for the trouble, Fellow Cultivator Tang! And you too, Chang Qing! You did a good job. We can reconsider admitting you again into our ranks.”

  The elderly Taoist masters came to greet Tang Hao, then turned to look at Taoist Master Chang Qing with admiration.

  Taoist Master Chang Qing looked very grateful.

  The other Taoist masters came up to them and exchanged greetings.

  They were deep in the mountains, and would not attract unwanted attention.

  “Qian Ji has something else to attend to and cannot come. There’s so many of us though, there shouldn’t be a problem.”

  “We’ll have to capture the old villain and seal him up again. Otherwise, it’ll be a great shame for Mao Mountain!”

  The elderly Taoist masters spoke.

  “Looks here, Taoist masters, this is the base of operations of the Wang family.”

  Tang Hao retrieved a map and drew a circle on it. “Over here is a small mountain village called Horsebridge Village. It looks just like any other rural settlement, but actually, the mountain range next to it has been hollowed out. The Wang family’s base of operations is inside.”

  Tang Hao pointed at the mountain range next to the village on the map.

  “It’s that big?” The elderly Taoist masters furrowed their brows.

  The bigger their base, the more complex the layout would be, and there would be more hidden paths for the enemy to escape. It would be hard to capture all the Wang family people at once.

  They discussed thoroughly their plan of action before deciding on it.

  They rented several tour buses and drove toward Horsebridge Village through the night.

  Tang Hao followed them. He informed Sis Xiangyi about it before he left.

  It was about three o’clock in the morning when they arrived at Horsebridge Village.

  They dared not go too near. Instead, they split their forces at the entrance to the mountain. Half of the people would travel around the mountain and attack Horsebridge Village from behind.

  The other half would launch a frontal attack at the village. Tang Hao was in that half.

  He had only returned from Dongying about ten days earlier. He did not craft many jade talismans after he got back, and he did not have that many talismans left on him. However, with many Taoist masters coming along, he was not the primary attack force. That would save him a lot of energy.

  The two tour buses stopped in the valley. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was tense.

  The Taoist masters were silent preparing for the battle ahead.

  Their opponents this time were not Nanyang shamans but Wang family descendants. Furthermore, they were attacking their home base.

  The Wang family had been a menace for almost a thousand years. Even though Mao Mountain had defeated them once a few hundred years ago, they were unable to eradicate them. A few hundred years after that, the Wang family must have regained their full force.

  Defeating the Wang family in their home base would be momentously difficult.

  The atmosphere became tenser as time passed.

  The Taoist masters’ morale was high. Some of them considered the mission to be a one-way trip.

  The Wang family were mortal enemies of Mao Mountain. They would eventually have a decisive battle anyway. Sacrifices were unavoidable.

  “Distribute the weapons.”

  A few Taoist masters opened the crates that were placed along the walkway. All of them carried firearms.

  The Wang family fought with firearms, which meant that the Taoist masters needed to use firearms to fight back. Their first encounter would most likely be an exchange of gunfire.

  Every Taoist master received a set of guns. Some of them took a few more machine guns and slung ammunition and grenades across their body.

  Tang Hao was silent when he observed the mood in the bus.

  His mood was affected by the Taoist masters.

  He retrieved his remaining stock of jade talismans. He took apart the defensive jade talisman formations and distributed the individual talismans to the Taoist masters, giving special attention to the ones with weaker cultivation bases.

  Those talisman formations were prepared for his Dongying trip. Together, the formation’s defensive power was very high, and the individual talismans were a lot weaker.

  Even so, at least that would prevent some unnecessary injuries or deaths.

  Chapter 388 - Mao Mountain VS Wang Family

  The darkness of the night stretched on without end.

  The mood on the tour bus was getting tenser by the moment.

  The red numbers on the digital clock continued to tick forward. Finally, it was exactly half-past four.

  Everyone sat up in alert. Their gaze was spirited and their bodies bristled with a battle-ready aura.

  The two teams had agreed to meet at half-past four. The other team of Taoist masters had already arrived at the predetermined location. They were waiting for Tang Hao’s group to launch their frontal assault so that they could attack from the back.

  An elderly Taoist master with silvery-white hair stood at the front of the bus.
