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

The black iron warrior who led the way was named Li Jia.

Zhao Yao followed behind him, relying on his powerful sense of smell to pinpoint the route of the other four Black Iron Warriors, heading straight for the mass grave.

How did I end up in this dead end? I was so panicked and lost. Did I follow the scent I left behind here before and find my way here?

Sniff sniff~

Zhao Yao followed behind Li Jia, trying to discern the scents in the air, and couldn't help but frown.

He stared in the direction of the mass grave, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

Beside him, Li Jia said nonchalantly:

"They must have escaped far away."

At this speed, you can't catch up with them.

As Li Jia spoke, he felt a sense of unease.

They were very close brothers, and when they realized they had fallen behind, they knew their brothers would come back to find them. But after walking for so long, they hadn't encountered a single brother who had turned back, which was quite strange.

"Young brother, when we meet, don't rush to attack. I'll have my brothers apologize to you, and you can have all the money and medicine they have. How about that?"

The smell that Li Jia caught suddenly became stronger, and he quickly told Zhao Yao to beg for mercy for his brothers.

He was walking backwards with a forced smile on his face when he turned around and saw the current state of his brothers.

Not far away, in front of the mass grave, three of the four Black Iron Warriors were trapped in an illusion.

"Hmm~"

The last strongman's jade pendant around his neck shone brightly, helping him stay conscious.

He used his clothes to encircle his four brothers, and with all his might, his flesh bulging, he desperately pulled them back to prevent them from entering that eerie pit of corpses.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

"Don't come any closer!"

Seeing this, Li Jia, limping, anxiously tried to step forward, but was stopped by the strongman who was still conscious.

"There's a demon in this pit! Don't go near it unless you have the Tranquility Jade Pendant!"

Stand back, think of a way to save us! My clothes are about to burst!

The older, black-clad warrior finished speaking quickly, sweat pouring down his forehead.

Sizzle~

Indeed, as he said, his clothes were about to burst under the force of the three Black Iron Warriors moving forward unconsciously, and they were already tearing.

He struggled to control his strength, trying his best to maintain both "holding onto his brother" and "keeping his clothes intact," two things that were indispensable.

Li Jia heard the sound of clothes tearing and became extremely anxious, pacing back and forth, not knowing what to do.

There are no vines or anything around here, how can we possibly save our brothers...?

Sizzle~

"Damn it!"

Hearing the sound of clothes tearing again, Li Jia's heart tightened, and he became extremely anxious. He desperately grabbed a thin tree nearby, trying to uproot it.

"ah--"

The veins on his face bulged as he exerted all his strength, but it was simply not enough.

He changed his approach, trying to break it, but his footing was unsteady, and he fell down, landing right in front of Zhao Yao.

He looked up and saw Zhao Yao's height of 5.5 meters. His eyes lit up, and he immediately knelt down and begged for help:

"Young brother, you are a strongman at the peak of the Black Iron Realm, you can definitely save my brother!"

I beg you, I beg you to save my brothers!

"If you save my brother, I'll be your slave from now on... Please, please..."

Li Jia knelt before Zhao Yao and kowtowed desperately.

Zhao Yao stood there, silent for a long while, before finally speaking:

"I can put aside past grievances and take immediate action. I don't need you to be my slave; just give me the compensation and apology I deserve."

"Thank you, young man! Thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jia was overjoyed and kowtowed twice more before looking expectantly at Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao originally planned to wait until these strongmen were half-dead from the corpse pit before making his move, but he changed his mind, and the result wasn't too bad.

bang~

With a single kick, he severed the sapling that Li Jia couldn't pull out or break no matter how hard he tried. He then held it in his hand as if it were a thick spear and slowly walked towards the mass grave.

Call ~

He stood some distance from the pit of corpses, swung the small tree horizontally, and precisely positioned it across the abdomens of the three delirious Black Iron Warriors.

"Get out here!"

Zhao Yao effortlessly used the small tree to lift the four Black Iron Warriors out of the area affected by the corpse pit.

"When did these powerful medicines arrive...? Who dares to ruin my plans!"

In the pit of corpses, beneath the piles of dried bodies, a man with disheveled hair seemed to have just woken up. Upon discovering the scene, he shouted loudly and jumped out, chasing after the four Black Iron Warriors.

"Heave-ho!"

The figure, while chasing, twitched its nostrils and took a deep breath.

As the man inhaled, countless colorful particles instantly floated out from the four Black Iron Warriors and headed straight for him.

This person is actually a demon!

He was absorbing the life force of the four Black Iron Warriors.

Seeing that the four Black Iron Warriors were about to wither away, Zhao Yao could not let them do as they pleased.

"Get back inside!"

He shouted, grabbed the tree trunk, and strode forward, crashing straight into the newly appeared demon.

Bang!

It was a clean and decisive blow; the attack sent the demon flying, crashing back into the pit of corpses.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the older Black Iron Warrior quickly grabbed his three unconscious brothers and dragged them backward with all his might, desperately trying to escape.

"ah--"

The demon was enjoying his sucking when he was suddenly sent flying. He was instantly enraged and roared wildly in the pit of corpses.

"Run! Don't waste his life force here!"

Zhao Yao's expression was solemn. He said something to the few strongmen who had gathered around him, then gripped the long tree trunk tightly, ready for battle.

"Our benefactor, we are deeply grateful and cannot express our thanks. We will surely survive and repay you."

After the older strongman solemnly finished speaking, he and the lame Li Jia carried the other brothers on their backs and quickly fled far away from the place.

"The food on my plate, how dare you stop me!"

The demon howled in the pit of corpses for a long time, finally venting his emotions, and then remembered the feast in front of him.

He suddenly leaped out of the pit of corpses and strode towards Zhao Yao, using his hands and feet to push against the tree trunks as he swiftly moved forward.

In just a few breaths, the demon arrived in front of Zhao Yao, and the illusion surrounding him also enveloped Zhao Yao.

"My lord~ come here."

"My lord, I want more."

"Die!"

As the demonic human approached, Zhao Yao smelled a strange fragrance. First, a group of naked women appeared in his field of vision. Then, all the women condensed into a naked Yan Rouyun. In the blink of an eye, the demonic human with disheveled hair appeared before him.

The demon had already arrived in front of Zhao Yao and punched him in the jade armor on his chest.

惊~

The cracks on the black jade armor, which had already begun to heal, burst open again, covering the entire upper body of the armor.

"A miraculous technique, divine sense!"

"uh-huh"

Zhao Yao had no time to dodge. He forced himself to stand up and withstand the blow, while also instantly using a special technique.

The demon was instantly gripped firmly in the giant hand formed from his divine sense.

"Is it you?"

The demon was frozen in the giant hand of divine sense, his disheveled hair falling loose, revealing Song Angran's utterly astonished expression upon seeing the familiar face on his more than five-meter-tall body.
