Chapter 178 Erming is expelled from the pilgrimage team!
Yu Xiaogang grabbed Tang San's sleeve and cried miserably.
"You little mistress, you must stand up for your master!"
"I didn't bother with that monkey before because of the Bodhisattva and you."
I never expected this beast to remain unchanged. I've only just joined the group, and he's already behaving like this.
This clearly shows they don't respect us, master and disciple!
As for why he pretended not to know Tang San, he had already made up an excuse on the way.
He lost his memory after being reincarnated, but regained it after meeting the Moonlight Bodhisattva.
"snort!"
Erming sneered and pointed at Yu Xiaogang's nose, cursing:
"Stop playing the victim! You pig demon are clearly picking a fight on purpose to get revenge for the time I hit you!"
"Does a despicable, shameless, and wicked pig demon like you even deserve to join the pilgrimage team?"
He grew angrier and angrier, and swung his golden cudgel:
"Today, Grandpa will act on behalf of Heaven and punish you, you scoundrel!"
"Help me, mistress!"
Yu Xiaogang was so frightened that he hid behind Tang San, and had just shouted out a few words when...
He was sent flying by Erming's stick.
It somersaulted twice in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
"Ouch—!"
He got up, his face covered in dirt, his pig-like face flushed red.
"You damned monkey, don't think I'm afraid of you!"
"Take this!"
Although I was very nervous.
The trauma of being brutally beaten by Erming was still lingering.
But at that moment, consumed by rage, he couldn't care less about anything else.
He gritted his teeth inwardly: The previous attack was a sneak attack, but this time I'll show you my true skills!
He swung the nine-toothed rake in a wide arc, gritting his teeth as he smashed it at Erming!
clang--!
The rake and the golden cudgel collided, sparks flying everywhere!
The two exchanged blows and got into a fierce fight.
Although Yu Xiaogang's foundation was not as solid as Erming's, Erming could not defeat him in a short time, and the two were evenly matched.
Crackle!
The shockwaves generated by the collision of magical powers rippled wildly in all directions, causing sand and stones to fly and a strong wind to blow below.
Tang San's white horse was startled, let out a neigh, raised its front hooves, and knocked Tang San to the ground.
Tang San fell flat on his face, got up, and spat out the mud from his mouth.
He looked up and glared angrily at the two people fighting in the air.
"This rebellious disciple! He has no respect for his teachers!"
He immediately made a hand seal and recited the Tightening-Headband Mantra to Erming.
Although it was obvious to everyone that Yu Xiaogang had started the trouble, Tang San had his own judgment.
Yu Xiaogang was his former teacher; their friendship remained even after meeting again in a foreign land.
As for Erming.
I already didn't get along with him, and with the previous grudges, it's natural that just looking at him makes me angry.
"ah--!"
Erming was in the middle of a fierce fight when he suddenly clutched his head and screamed in agony. The golden cudgel slipped from his grasp, and he plummeted straight down from the sky.
boom!
It crashed to the ground, creating a deep crater.
"Tang San—!"
He covered his head, his eyes bloodshot.
"You despicable and shameless scoundrel! You and that pig demon are birds of a feather!"
"Just you wait! You just wait! One day, I will avenge this!"
"snort!"
Yu Xiaogang landed, looking triumphantly at Erming, who was writhing in agony in the pit:
"You damned monkey, today I'll clean house for the mistress!"
He raised his nine-toothed rake and was about to smash it down on Erming's head!
"Teacher, wait a minute!"
Tang San was shocked.
Erming was the protector appointed by the Bodhisattva. If he were really killed, how could he explain it to the Buddhist community?
If it were the old Yu Xiaogang, he might have listened to him.
But now, Yu Xiaogang, having been reborn, is proud and arrogant, and he can't stand this insult.
That damned monkey made him lose face, his wife, and his position as local tyrant.
They were even forced to accept some kind of ridiculous pilgrimage mission—
I'm going to kill him today!
The rake whistled through the air and slammed down!
Erming's pupils contracted sharply, his mind racing—
It's over!
wrong--
Just as the rake was about to smash into his head, Erming's body flashed with golden light!
A body of crystal and gold!
clang--!
A loud bang was heard, and dust billowed up.
Yu Xiaogang's rake struck Erming squarely!
Erming's head and body were instantly smashed to pieces!
"Hahaha--!"
Yu Xiaogang laughed heartily:
"You damned monkey, trying to show off! You trying to be cool! You still ended up as a dead soul under my Nine-Toothed Rake!"
He turned his head and looked at Tang San with a smug expression:
"Oh, mistress, I'm so sorry, I couldn't stop myself just now..."
Before he could finish speaking, a golden light flashed behind him!
A tremendous sense of crisis is sweeping in!
Yu Xiaogang hurriedly turned around, only managing to hold the nine-toothed rake horizontally in front of him—
boom--!
A golden beam of light exploded!
Yu Xiaogang was blasted away, tumbling through the air more than a dozen times.
It crashed into a distant hillside, its fate unknown!
As the smoke and dust cleared,
Erming stood there, grinning.
A metal cannon as thick as a water bucket was slung over his shoulder, with wisps of smoke rising from its muzzle.
Before that rake came crashing down, he activated his Glazed Golden Body to withstand the damage.
Then he pretended to be dead.
We need to wait until this pig demon lowers its guard!
Who would dare to plot against him?
Then don't blame him for showing no mercy!
Erming picked up the golden cudgel and was about to finish off the enemy.
"Erming, stop!"
Tang San, still shaken, quickly stopped him:
"He's your junior brother! How can you let your fellow disciples kill each other?!"
"hehe."
Erming stopped and turned to look at him, his eyes full of mockery:
"Fellow disciples killing each other?"
"Tang San, are you not going to act anymore? Are you just going to take your useless teacher's side?"
Tang San's face darkened:
"What? You disagree with my decision?"
"We are all following the will of the sages, working for the great cause of obtaining Buddhist scriptures from the West, and to save all sentient beings!"
"Since you don't acknowledge me as your teacher and don't care about the great mission of obtaining the scriptures at all—"
He took a deep breath, his voice icy:
"Then you can leave."
"There is no place for someone as great as you here."
He wasn't acting on impulse.
The two were already at odds, and there were old grudges between them.
Yu Xiaogang's addition only added fuel to the fire; the team is now a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.
Rather than keeping them around to cause trouble, it's better to kick them out as soon as possible.
He and Yu Xiaogang were of one mind.
Yu Xiaogang's cultivation level is no worse than Erming's; he's more than capable of protecting him on his journey west.
Erming was stunned.
"You want to kick me out?"
He never expected that Tang San would actually try to send him away.
Although he disliked the two of them, he never thought of leaving!
He still needs to wait until the Journey to the West is over to save Xiao Wu!
"That's right."
Tang San's tone was resolute:
"You have repeatedly ignored my teachings, even causing your fellow disciples to fight each other. I am incompetent and cannot teach you."
"You can leave now."
Erming remained silent for a moment.
Then, I laughed.
"good."
"Very good."
He put away his golden cudgel, turned and left without a trace of regret:
"It was you who drove me away, not that I didn't want to go on the pilgrimage."
"Grandpa's had enough! He's done serving me!"
"Farewell!"
It was Tang San who drove him away, not that he refused to go on the journey to the West.
I suppose those people in the West have nothing to say.
Although he was somewhat curious about the so-called opportunity to travel west, there was still no sign of it.
It would be better to take this opportunity to break free from the shackles of this journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
The sky is high enough for birds to fly freely.
This mess, let whoever wants to do it do it!
