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

After that, things returned to normal.

Outside the gate of the wooden village, after a fierce battle, corpses littered the ground.

On the watchtower, Black Light spoke deceitfully, and Zhao Yi retaliated with a scathing rebuke, jumping into the village and smashing the watchtower until it collapsed.

The spectators rushed into the wooden fortress to continue watching the battle.

Zhao Yao appeared briefly at the entrance of the wooden stockade, bypassed the stockade, and headed towards Wangzhou City.

Zhou Pengju sensed that Zhao Yi was not Zhao Yao and followed Zhao Yao's trail.

Inside the wooden stockade, amidst the ruins of the watchtower, Zhao Yi slowly stood up, facing Hei Guang, whose face was covered in scars and whose height was a full six meters.

All around, a group of Black Iron Warriors under Black Light stepped forward, surrounded the watchtower ruins, and stared at Zhao Yi in the center.

They would swarm forward and launch an attack as soon as Blacklight gave the order!

But not everyone is like that.

Outside the Black Iron Warriors, several warriors who had rushed back from the village gate had shifty eyes, as if they were about to retreat to save their lives if things went wrong.

Hei Guang confronted Zhao Yi, glancing at his subordinates out of the corner of his eye, clearly understanding their true colors.

The little brats hadn't seen the miserable scene in front of the village, so they weren't afraid at all now.

But once the fighting starts, they will inevitably feel the crushing force, and will eventually collapse.

In other words, we can't delay. We need to gather our strength in the first round, when the little brats are at their most energetic, and strive for a 'one-hit kill'!

As Hei Guang pondered, he glanced at Zhao Yi's jade armor and the sword in his hand, a sense of dread creeping into his heart.

"Great Strength," "Sharpness," "Seeking Master," "Defense," and "Fusion"—this set of wondrous artifacts, according to his observation, has already demonstrated five powerful magical abilities; who knows if there are any more?

We must not be careless!

"Thumbs, youmu!" 』

The black light suddenly initiated the battle, pointing at the ground in front of Zhao Yi. A bright red carnivorous flower burst from the ground, opening its mouth full of sharp teeth and swallowing Zhao Yi without hesitation.

He then loudly commanded:

"You little brats, while I've subdued him with my special technique, attack together!"

"yes!"

As usual during training, the warriors responded in unison, swallowed the Locking Yuan Pills, and pounced on Zhao Yi in the middle like a human pyramid.

They clearly hadn't seen what was happening in front of the wooden fortress, and were unaware that the Lock Yuan Pill was no longer effective.

They were relying on the Black Iron Warrior's thick skin, great strength, and large numbers to forcefully overwhelm him!

The Black Iron Warriors pressed in from all directions. Zhao Yi stood in the middle, his thoughts racing, his vision slowing down, and the movements of the Black Iron Warriors also slowed down.

At the critical moment.

With a swift, arrow-like motion, he thrust out, striking the man-eating flower's gaping maw. Utilizing his own "invulnerability" property, he channeled a surge of vital energy, granting the flower its freedom.

His eyes flickered slightly as he swept over the group of Black Iron Warriors. He judged that these people were being manipulated and were unaware of his methods, which was why they were acting like "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers." Therefore, he did not draw his sword.

He gripped the hilt of the sword and took a quick step forward.

Sigh~

With his free hand, he swiftly reached out and grabbed the arm of the Black Iron Warrior who was leaping into the air in front of him, using it as a whip to strike the Black Iron Warriors in all directions.

Thump thump thump thump~

In an instant, the flow of time accelerated. The surrounding air was cleared by the whip of the Black Iron Warrior, and all the Black Iron Warriors who rushed forward were knocked away.

"ah--"

The black iron warrior in Zhao Yi's hand was flung into the air, screaming in terror and pain.

The next instant, he suddenly released his grip, and the body of the Black Iron Warrior flew towards the gate of the wooden fortress.

Since you don't know my methods, then go and see for yourself!

Then, seizing the opportunity, he ran quickly like an eagle catching a chick. Every time he reached Hei Tieli, he would reach out and grab his arm precisely, throwing it like a sandbag, either tossing or flipping it, and throwing them all toward the entrance of the wooden village.

"ah--"

"Holy crap—"

Zhao Yi kept repeating this set of movements.

One by one, the Black Iron Warriors were overwhelmed in both speed and strength, and had no chance to fight back. In a short while, they were all sent flying into the sky, tearing through the air and heading towards the gate of the wooden village.

At this moment, Hei Guang stood aside and did not stop Zhao Yi's actions.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he made a hand seal and chanted an incantation:

"Quickly summon the Western Fire God, who carries a golden hammer and golden staff."

His eyes blazed like thunder, and his body moved with the sound of lightning.

Today I shall patrol the world, capturing demons, evil spirits, and gods. So be it!

After the incantation was finished, a strange change occurred to him. His black hair broke free from the hair bun and floated upwards, suddenly turning red. His eyes became double pupils and shone with a fiery red light, with golden lightning flashing and gathering around them.

With those eyes, he glared fiercely at Zhao Yi's face and unleashed an incredibly powerful technique.

"A miraculous technique, a sighting of lightning and fire!"

Thunderbolt~

In an instant, the black light revealed the appearance of the God of Fire, using the power of the God of Fire, and golden and red lightning shot out from its eyes, piercing straight through Zhao Yi's face.

Boom~

This blow burned a huge hole through Zhao Yi's face from front to back!

Seeing this, Hei Guang breathed a slight sigh of relief. Even with the Locking Yuan Pill, he wouldn't survive such injuries.

—That's how it should be under normal circumstances.

However, Zhao Yi is not a normal person. Although his body is a human body that has been molded, it is essentially a fusion of a ten-flame layer primordial qi miniature, and does not have any fatal flaws in a strict sense.

"Um?"

Amidst the black light's horrified expression, Zhao Yi, sporting that terrifying ring-shaped head, rushed towards him!

"You're still alive? What the hell are you?"

thump~

thump~

thump~

Zhao Yi moved with incredible speed. Just before he reached out his hands and was about to approach the black light, the black light bent its legs, the ground exploded, and the black light leaped away with great force.

Boom~

The black light fell from behind the wooden stockade, landing on the ground and creating a large crater.

He straightened up from the pit, looked in the direction of Zhao Yi, then in the direction of the wooden village gate, feeling helpless.

Sure enough, none of the brats returned after seeing the miserable scene at the entrance of the wooden stockade.

Fine, even without you, I can still dominate with the masses!

As the black light's mind raced, its resolve hardened, and a strange change occurred in its pupils. First, it appeared as if it had double pupils, and then tears began to roll down its cheeks.

"A wondrous technique, the man within the eye!"

Each teardrop fell to the ground, grew in the wind, and in the blink of an eye transformed into a humanoid creature with a bald face, only one large eye, and the same size as the Black Iron Warrior!

The black light wept incessantly, its eyeballs falling out continuously, and the number of faceless, one-eyed humanoid creatures that kept appearing also increased, quickly becoming densely packed together.

"Hmm, this strange technique is interesting. It seems to have been passed down. Zhao Yi, bring him back."

Zhao Yao's voice suddenly rang out in Zhao Yi's mind, and he gave him an order.

"Yes."

Zhao nodded and immediately started running towards the densely packed 'people in the pupil'.
