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

"...My oldest ancestor was a fire god...One of his descendants accidentally captured a person with pupils in their eyes, and found it very interesting. So he combined his own bloodline supernatural powers to raise a large number of people with pupils in their eyes and devised the two techniques of 'Thunder and Fire Witness' and 'Pupil People'."

As Hei Guang spoke, he took out a stack of handkerchiefs and a piece of paper from his pocket and handed them to Zhao Yao.

"The front of this handkerchief contains the method to control the wood spirit."

The key to the Wood Demon Technique lies in capturing a Wood Demon and then controlling it; the rest is not particularly difficult.

This method of control is also the essential foundation for learning the techniques of "Thunder and Fire Witness" and "Pupil Man".

The reverse side of the handkerchief contains the learning methods for the two techniques, "Thunder and Fire Witness" and "Pupil Man".

As for this piece of paper, it contains a short story about a person with pupils, passed down from my ancestors. I don't know its purpose, but I'm offering it to my ancestors as well.

Hei Guang bowed and offered a handkerchief and a piece of paper with both hands.

Zhao Yao naturally took it, glanced through it casually, looked at the black light, and asked:

"So, by following the methods described in the book, one can learn these three extraordinary arts?"

"I truly do not know this."

The extraordinary techniques recorded here have never been taught to those who are not of our bloodline, so... it should be possible, right?

Blacklight blinked, his tone uncertain.

In reality, he knew perfectly well that both the techniques "Thunder and Fire Witness" and "Pupil Man" were related to his own bloodline of the Fire God, which had been fused with the pure Pupil Man.

When our ancestors devised these extraordinary techniques, they used this bloodline as the foundation. Without the same bloodline, it would be tantamount for outsiders to build castles in the air if they tried to imitate them.

If you learn it this way, it's no different from reconstructing two magical arts.

Based on what Black Light said about "combining one's own bloodline supernatural powers," Zhao Yao roughly guessed the inside story. Unless he asked for Black Light's bloodline and fused with it afterward, he would most likely not be able to learn that bloodline-binding technique.

He thought about it and realized that he already had enough demon blood in his body.

Moreover, as far as he knew, there were other ways to bypass this, so he did not ask for the demon blood in the black light's body.

The fewer people who know that I can go to the lower realm to use divine power to fuse with foreign demon blood, the better! I can't easily reveal any clues.

Zhao Yao put away the handkerchief and the book, her eyes crinkling as she looked at the black light, and said with a slight smile:

"Very good, you are very sensible, I am very satisfied."

"Hand over all your medicines and money, and you can go back."

"Your magnanimity is truly appreciated..."

Black Light spoke excitedly, quickly taking out all his money and pills and holding them eagerly in his hands.

Zhao Yi stepped out from behind Zhao Yao and took the spoils from Hei Guang's hands.

After handing over the money and pills, Hei Guang looked at Zhao Yao, pointed into the distance, and cautiously probed:

"I am..."

"Okay, let's go."

Zhao Yao nodded.

"Alright! Blacklight's gone!"

If we meet again in the future, Blacklight will be at your command.

With a solemn and impeccable expression, Hei Guang bowed to Zhao Yao before calmly turning around and striding away.

Only after walking a distance did he break out in a cold sweat, suddenly increase his pace, and run quickly. After running a couple more times, he mustered all his strength, and with a loud thud, he bent his knees and jumped back, hastily fleeing the place.

All those kind words before were just a tactic to lull the enemy into a false sense of security before fleeing for their lives.

As Zhao Yao watched the retreating figure of the black light, observing how his demeanor shifted from composure to panicked flight as he moved away from the area, he felt a deep sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).

What a flexible and adaptable Iron Warrior!

Zhao Yao shook his head and turned to look at Zhao Yi.

In the apocalypse, before he could bring the primordial energy in the Jade Chess set to life, the Earth exploded.

This is the first time that soldiers have been molded from molds.

The living jade soldier, created by fusing and molding ten primordial energy figures, did not disappoint him; he was very satisfied with Zhao Yi's previous performance.

Zhao Yi was formed by the fusion of ten small figures of primordial energy.

A tiny primordial spirit is a person's entire strength.

Ten small figures of primordial energy constitute the power of ten bodies.

Each jade chess piece contains ten layers of flames, and each layer can depict a miniature primordial energy figure, with each miniature primordial energy figure possessing the same power as the body itself.

In other words, if he continues to practice the Warrior Breathing Technique, as his Warrior realm improves, the upper limit of the Yuan Qi storage in each Flame Layer will also increase, and each Yuan Qi miniature will become correspondingly stronger.

Unfortunately, his current height of 2.5 meters is almost reaching the "taboo of martial arts practice". In order to be able to practice martial arts normally in the future, he will not continue to practice the Warrior Breathing Technique for a while.

The maximum combat power of activated soldiers has remained at this level for a long time.

Zhao Yi's abilities are actually quite simple, consisting of three in total:

The power of ten bodies brought by ten primordial energy figures.

After the primordial energy filled the jade figure chess set, the two formed an intrinsic connection, which enabled it to be activated and control the armor sword remotely.

Jade Soldier Skill: Locks onto the enemy with one step, guaranteed to hit.

These three abilities, perhaps combined with Zhao Yi's lack of fatal weaknesses and his invulnerability to all magic, allowed him to break through the wooden fortress.

"Who are these two...?"

Zhou Pengju stood aside, clearly able to identify Zhao Yao as the one wearing the black jade armor, but his expression showed extreme curiosity towards Zhao Yi, who stood behind Zhao Yao and had the exact same face as "Zhao Yao".

"Zhao Yi, Zhao Er..."

Zhao Yao introduced the two jade soldiers, paused for a moment, and then simply told the truth.

He went on to say:

"Brother Zhou has helped me several times, so I won't hide it from him."

"These two are manifestations of my extraordinary magic."

As he spoke, he reached out and beckoned, and two men clad in jade armor suddenly transformed into a stream of jade light, flowing into his body and being collected back onto the shattered jade chessboard.

"This, this..."

When Zhou Pengju saw Zhao Yi, who was wreaking havoc in the wooden stockade, transform into a beam of light and enter Zhao Yao's body, he was speechless with astonishment.

Such a powerful figure, and all he had was a strange technique?

What kind of extraordinary technique is this, that it could be so powerful?!

After a long while, Zhou Pengju finally calmed down, shook his head with a wry smile:

"There are all kinds of amazing skills in the world; I am simply ignorant."

Don't bring up the times I helped you; it makes me feel embarrassed... I almost got you into trouble because I was too talkative before.

As he spoke, without allowing Zhao Yao to offer any comfort, he immediately untied his bundle, took out the scroll that Magistrate Zhou Yan had entrusted to Zhao Yao, unfolded it before Zhao Yao's eyes, and said with emotion:

"I don't know why you insist on returning to Wangzhou City, but from what I've seen, you've been fighting non-stop along the way."

Being hunted down must be a terrible experience; nobody likes being constantly chased.

You can go back to Wangzhou City if you want.

However, you'd better take a look at the painting that the magistrate asked me to bring you; that would mean I've completed my task.

Zhao Yao turned his gaze to the scroll, saw the poem on it, raised an eyebrow, and read it aloud:

"In the face of turmoil, lower your gaze and wait for the tide to recede, so that your boat may find its proper place..."
