With half a game of chess, I vanquish all demons!

"Then, sir, what should be done if you win? I am all ears."

Wu Wei completely disregarded Zhao Yao's judgment that he was shameless, and continued to shamelessly bargain and negotiate with Zhao Yao.

"Even after all this, you still want to continue talking? I underestimated the thickness of your skin..."

At this point, Zhao Yaozhen was starting to admire this guy's ability to be flexible and shameless.

Looking at the other person's expectant expression, he chuckled and said:

"...If I win, besides the money, you will also have to do one thing for me."

"Can."

Wu Wei nodded in confirmation without hesitation.

He immediately said:

"Young master, shall we begin now?"

"Tsk, you agreed so easily... I've changed my mind. If I win, besides doing one thing for me, from now on, whenever you encounter me, you will all be at my beck and call."

With a faint smile on his face, Zhao Yao deliberately stated this rather harsh condition.

"Can."

Wu Wei immediately agreed.

In his view, nothing is more important than life.

The three brothers originally came to kill people, but now they can exchange a life for a few conditions and continue their original purpose. It seems worthwhile no matter how you look at it.

"In that case, let's get started quickly."

"Young master, please be careful."

After they finished speaking, they stood facing each other, their eyes focused, and their expressions became serious.

On the left is Wu Wei, a Black Iron Realm warrior who is over 3.33 meters tall, with eyes like burning charcoal, clearly defined muscles, and a body as black as iron, resembling an iron statue.

On the right is Zhao Yao, a student from the county school who is 2.2 meters tall.

Call ~

A breeze is blowing.

"Drink it!"

Wu Wei suddenly roared, stomped his feet heavily on the ground, and charged towards Zhao Yao like a running human elephant!

He stretched out his two large, fan-like hands, rushed forward, and pressed them directly onto Zhao Yao's head.

"Yuan Qi, join forces!" 』

Zhao Yao silently recited the words to himself, and raised both hands to catch the opponent's palm as it slammed down.

*Smack*

Their palms collided, producing a resounding boom that seemed to echo outwards!

"Phew~"

The three-meter-tall black iron giant, with its eyes wide open, ferocious face, and heavy breathing, pressed down with all its might.

The student, who is over two meters tall, grasps the sky with his palms; he is small in stature, yet his body is solid and indestructible!

The two men were locked in a stalemate, locked in a direct confrontation.

However, though the body remained still, the mind was still.

During the brief stalemate, Wu Wei felt he had figured out Zhao Yao's true strength and was secretly pleased.

Zhao Yao may have some luck and possesses superhuman strength that doesn't match his physique, but compared to me, he's still a step behind!

"Drink it!"

He roared again, his muscles bulging, wanting to finish Zhao Yao off in one fell swoop.

"Yuan Qi, unite again!" 』

As Zhao Yao silently recited the command, a second miniature figure of primordial energy appeared and jumped out from the jade chess piece, empowering his physical body and adding to his strength!

His strength increased dramatically, and the wrestling suddenly became much easier.

"Give me a refund!"

Despite the sudden increase in the opponent's strength, Zhao Yao grabbed the opponent's hand and pushed Wu Wei backward step by step with overwhelming force!

"Roar~"

Wu Wei let out a roar from deep in his throat.

He gritted his teeth, his veins bulging, and leaned forward, releasing all his strength without reservation. But his body still couldn't stop sliding backward, and his feet plowed a furrow in the ground.

At this point, the situation on the field and the outcome of the match were quite clear...

Wu Wei was unwilling to give up, feeling that Zhao Yao's attack might be a temporary burst of power, so he did not stop and continued to exert his strength.

丝~

Wisps of white steam rose from his body.

Zhao Yao pushed Wu Wei backward as if pushing a thick wall. Seeing that Wu Wei was burning up and stubbornly refusing to back down, Zhao Yao raised an eyebrow and changed his strategy.

"Get up!"

He gripped Wu Wei's hands tightly, lowered his body, and with a coordinated effort, suddenly burst forward, forcefully pushing Wu Wei off the ground.

Bang!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhao Yao turned sideways and exerted force, throwing the unbalanced Wu Wei to the ground with a loud thud.

Sizzle~~~

The Black Iron Realm Warrior's giant-like body rubbed against the ground for more than ten meters before coming to a stop, propelled by the force of the throwing and smashing.

"Big brother!"

Are you alright?

The two henchmen rushed forward in a panic.

Wu Wei lay sprawled on the ground, his pants torn, his buttocks burning from the friction, and his back feeling as if it were broken from being slammed.

Ignoring his own disheveled state, he gripped his two brothers' hands tightly and immediately shouted the order:

"...Quickly, what are you standing there for? Quickly kowtow to Young Master Zhao and thank him for sparing your life."

The two henchmen were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly turned around, knelt down before Zhao Yao with a thud, and kowtowed three times.

"Thank you, Young Master Zhao, for sparing my life."

"Thank you, Young Master Zhao..."

Behind his two underlings, Wu Wei lay weakly in the pit, his eyes pleading as he looked at Zhao Yao.

He knew in his heart that with Zhao Yao's strength, if they had really fought just now, all three of them would have been killed! Now it was even more so, their lives were now in Zhao Yao's hands.

Let's see if the excuses they made before, which they shamelessly begged for, will work now.

"Alright, I won't kill you. Just hand over the money as we agreed before..."

"Yes, yes, yes."

The two henchmen helped Wu Wei up, took off all the money they had on them, put it on the ground, and carefully asked Zhao Yao:

"As agreed, we are here to do something for you, young master. What do you want us to do?"

"Answer me one question first."

"Please speak, young master."

"Was the bounty placed by Su Shangtao?"

"This is."

really.

A glint flashed in Zhao Yao's eyes; the verification was successful.

He looked at the three of them and then said:

"Now I will tell you my requirements."

I want you to leave here, leave now...

"Ah... please speak frankly, young master, we did not understand."

The three of them were a little confused.

Zhao Yao continued:

"...You can go anywhere you like, anywhere far away from here, to spread false information about me in other places, for a period of one month."

"How about it, can you do it?"

"No problem, just leave it to us!"

The three understood Zhao Yao's idea and immediately patted their chests, guaranteeing it.

"Then let's not stand there anymore, let's go..."

Zhao Yao waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, we will take our leave now and make sure to take care of things for you, young master."

The two henchmen helped Wu Wei to a swift retreat.

"This guy's really something. He turned a potentially fatal situation into a series of de-escalating crises... That's survival wisdom, I guess."

Zhao Yao sighed, squatted down, and began to check his spoils.

He didn't really care whether Wu Wei and the other two would actually do as promised; letting them go was simply because he didn't want to cause any more bloodshed.

As for whether it will lead to trouble and endanger one's own safety, once one has clashed with the military officer in charge of receiving the messenger, everything will be fine.

However, things are impermanent.

Zhao Yao never expected that he would see Wu Wei and the other two again so soon.

He gathered his money, rummaged through his bundle and found a large flatbread, which took him a long time to force down.

Just as he was about to go get some water nearby, a chase came into his view not far away.

"……Help!"

"Where do you think you're going!"

A man who was 2.56 meters tall was desperately running down the barren mountain.

Behind him, a man about two and a half meters tall, with a broad frame, thin flesh and a stiff face, was carrying two severed heads and was in hot pursuit.

"Die!"

The man, his face stiff, suddenly pushed the severed head forward with a strange arc in his arm, and the head flew out of his hand like a hidden weapon.

swoosh~

bang~

Just as the 2.56-meter-tall man reached Zhao Yao, a dark human head crashed into his body from behind, tearing open his chest and revealing a blood-soaked face with a bitter smile and unseeing eyes.

"……save……"

The man looked at Zhao Yao, who was standing close to him, with a pained expression. He trembled and reached out his hand. Blood gushed from his chest. He managed to hold on for a few more breaths before collapsing and dying.

The man was none other than one of Wu Wei's two brothers.

The black head embedded in his chest was none other than Wu Wei's face!

Not long ago, he had just demonstrated his wisdom to Zhao Yao.

Now, he has personally demonstrated the impermanence of life and the fragility of existence with his own life.
