Chapter 289 A Waste of Time



Awooo! Awooo...

Mai Hai fell to the ground and screamed in agony.

His lower leg was bent at a 90-degree angle in the opposite direction, a shocking sight.

Li Huan angrily retorted: "Damn it! You couldn't even beat Yuan Heshan at buying boxed lunches, so you resorted to poisoning him!"

"Yuan Heshan is a major customer of the Ming Cult, how can I just stand by and watch him get injured by you!"

Mai Hai cried out through gritted teeth, "I'm a big customer too! I'm too..."

Li Huan angrily rebuked, "You attempted violence and violated the rules of the 'Food Competition.' Take your lunchbox and get out of here!"

Mai Hai shouted again, "I want to buy more boxed lunches! I want to surpass Yuan Heshan!"

Yuan Heshan chuckled a few times, gloating.

"You've spent all your money and can't borrow any more, so how do you think you can surpass me?"

Mai Hai said, "I'm going to rob... rob the government of its silver..."

Yuan Heshan laughed, "I'll add as much as you take. With the prestige of the Hai Sha Sect, all the other sects will lend me money, hahaha..."

Yuan Heshan smiled smugly.

Mai Hai was both angry and anxious. Suddenly, he raised his hand and shot a hidden weapon from his sleeve, which flew towards Yuan Heshan!

Li Huan was stuffing the silver notes into his pouch when he was too late to stop the hidden weapon!

*Thud!* The hidden weapon struck Yuan Heshan's left arm!

He let out a terrible scream, then cried out in alarm: "Poison!"

Mai Hai's face contorted in a ferocious grin as he let out a few wild laughs: "That's right! This is the Giant Whale Gang's unique hidden weapon, the Bone-Piercing Nail! It's extremely poisonous!"

Yuan Heshan roared, "Give me the antidote now!"

Mai Hai said, "There is no antidote for my Bone-Piercing Nails; anyone struck by one will die! Go see the King of Hell!"

Yuan Heshan roared and suddenly pulled out the bone-piercing nail from his arm, then hurled it at Mai Hai!

*Thud!* The bone-piercing nail struck Mai Hai in the eye!

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Heshan shouted, "Bring me a knife!"

The disciples of the Hai Sha Sect hurriedly drew their steel knives and handed them to Yuan Heshan.

Yuan Heshan took the steel knife, raised his hand, and chopped off his own left arm!

The crowd gasped in surprise.

Yuan Heshan was in so much pain that his eyes rolled back and he almost fainted.

The disciples of the Hai Sha Sect quickly took out the Golden Wound Medicine and applied it to Yuan Heshan's severed arm.

Mai Hai, covering his eyes, howled and rolled around in agony. After a while, his legs suddenly straightened, and he died from the poison.

Yuan Heshan's face was deathly pale, and he gasped for breath, saying, "You think you can kill me? Not so easy... So what if I lost an arm? As long as I obtain the Dragon-Slaying Saber, I can still command the world..."

Li Huan announced: "Mai Hai of the Giant Whale Gang is dead. All 10,000 boxed meals he bought will be given to the disciples of the Giant Whale Gang!"

The fat man hurriedly said, "Master Li, we don't want the boxed lunches. Could you please return the money to the Giant Whale Gang?"

Li Huan's face darkened.

"Are you fucking talking nonsense? The lunchboxes have already been bought, and there's no refund!"

The fat man raised his eyebrows and said, "Gang Leader Mai is dead. Leader Li, please have pity on my Giant Whale Gang and return half of the silver!"

Li Huan sneered: "Pity you? Who will pity those merchants and women killed by the Giant Whale Gang?"

The fat man was speechless and could only instruct his disciples to collect Mai Hai's body first.

Li Huan said, "So far, the Hai Sha faction has purchased 11,000 boxed meals, spending 1.1 million taels of silver!"

"Which faction will bid more boxed meals than the Sea Sand Faction?"

The scene was very quiet.

Li Huan said, "If no one surpasses the Hai Sha Sect, Yuan He Shan will be the victor!"

Yuan Heshan couldn't help but raise his head.

Suddenly, a robust old man stepped out from the Wushan Gang's camp.

He was about sixty years old, with a white beard and a ruddy complexion.

Yuan Heshan asked, "Chief Mei, do you want to lend me some money?"

This old man was none other than Mei Shijian, the leader of the Wushan Gang.

Li Huan knew that the Wushan Gang was a major gang in the Dongchuan area, controlling land and water trade and cargo transportation. Its financial strength was no less than that of the Haisha Gang!

The gang leader, Mei Shijian, was also quite skilled in martial arts.

Moreover, Mei Shijian's name is also bizarre and funny, as it sounds like "no time".

Mei Shijian ignored Yuan Heshan and said loudly, "Master Li, how many boxed lunches are left in the car?"

Li Huan said, "A total of 30,000 boxed meals were ordered. Hai Sha Pai bought 11,000, Ju Jing Gang bought 10,000, and there are currently 9,000 boxed meals left!"

Mei Shijian said, "With only nine thousand left, we can't possibly surpass the Hai Sha Faction!"

Li Huan spoke with a serious expression.

"Thanks to everyone's enthusiastic purchase of boxed meals, I hereby announce that an additional three thousand boxed meals will be provided!"

Mei Shijian's eyes suddenly lit up: "If we add three thousand more, then we'll have twelve thousand left?"

“That’s right!” Li Huan nodded.

Mei Shijian immediately pulled out a stack of silver notes: "I'll take care of the remaining twelve thousand boxed meals!"

After saying that, Mei Shijian quickly walked up to Li Huan and respectfully presented the silver notes with both hands.

"Wait!" Yuan Heshan, clutching his severed arm, hurriedly stopped him. "I haven't bought it yet..."

"You're too late!" Mei Shijian said. "I've already bought the remaining boxed meals, all of them for the Wushan Gang!"

Li Huan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

No wonder Mei Shijian's name sounds like "no time" in Chinese. Once he makes a move, he doesn't give his opponent a chance. Yuan Heshan simply "has no time" to compete!

Li Huan announced: "The Wushan Gang has purchased the remaining 12,000 boxed meals, becoming the winner of this 'Food Competition'!"

Mei Shijian raised his head and smiled, and the disciples of the Wushan Gang cheered in unison.

Yuan Heshan's face turned green: "Sect Leader Li, keep increasing the number of boxed meals, I'll buy another five thousand!"

Li Huan said, "We can only supply 33,000 boxed meals today. If you want to buy more, you'll have to wait until next time!"

Yuan Heshan's eyes widened.

He spent 1.1 million taels of silver, owed 600,000 taels of silver to the Kunlun Sect, and 800,000 taels of silver to the Divine Fist Sect. He was also poisoned by a hidden weapon and had to cut off his left arm. In the end, he still failed to win!

Trying to draw water with a bamboo basket is all for naught.

"Wah...wah..." Yuan Heshan was so angry that he vomited two mouthfuls of blood and fainted.

Mei Shijian clasped his hands and said, "Esteemed sect leaders and heroes! Today, I'm hosting a feast, offering ten thousand boxed meals for you all to enjoy!"

The crowd applauded and cheered.

Mei Shijian bought the boxed lunches with the intention of obtaining the Dragon-Slaying Saber. He also distributed the boxed lunches to various sects, earning praise for his generosity and thus gaining both fame and fortune.

"Master Li!" Mei Shijian clasped his hands in a salute to Li Huan again, and said with a smile, "I have no grudge against Xie Xun, the Golden-Haired Lion King. I only want to obtain the Dragon-Slaying Saber and will never make things difficult for Xie Xun! Please, Master Li, give the order for Xie Xun to hand over the Dragon-Slaying Saber!"

Before Li Huan could speak, Xie Xun said, "I've already said before, the Dragon-Slaying Saber is not in my hands!"

Mei Shijian hurriedly asked, "Where is the treasured sword?"

Xie Xun said, "That day, on an unnamed island, I was poisoned and fell into a coma. When I woke up, the Dragon-Slaying Saber was gone!"

“You’re talking nonsense!” Mei Shijian retorted.

Xie Xun said, "At the time, Wuji and Miss Zhou from the Emei Sect were also present; they can testify to this!"

Upon hearing this, a flash of lightning struck Li Huan's mind, and he felt a sense of foreboding.

"Wuji!" Li Huan exclaimed, "What exactly happened?"
