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

Zhao Yao controlled Zhao Er's body and set off from Wangzhou City, speeding all the way to Zhaoqian Village, where he merged with Zhao Yi's body.

In Zhaoqian Village, the demigod warrior Yin Bingtie and the bronze warrior Jin Feng have still not returned. It seems that both Zhou Quan and the leaders of Black Wind Stronghold are quite troublesome.

Perfect timing, Zhao Yao needed to do something while they were away.

Zhao Er's body was created by fusing eight divine thought techniques, one demonic charm technique, and the magic power of a flame layer.

He came to Zhaoqian Village under the guise of Zhao Er to resolve his worries about the future.

He manipulated Zhao Er's body, found his father Zhao Jiujiang and younger brother Zhao Liang who were sleeping at the neighbor's house, and gently patted them to wake them up.

"Hmm~ Brother, why did you wake us up at this hour? Is something wrong?"

Zhao Liang, still half asleep, yawned, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and sat up.

"Xiao Liang, hurry up and get dressed. I have something to talk to Dad about. You'll come with Dad later."

"Go? Where to?"

Zhao Liang looked completely puzzled.

Zhao Yao didn't speak to him directly, but instead called his father out of the house.

"Father, something has happened that I can't explain to you clearly, but you must believe me. This is a matter of life and death. If we don't handle it well, our whole family will die, and the Zhao family will be wiped out."

Zhao Yao looked at his father, Zhao Jiujiang, with an unusually serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiujiang was greatly alarmed and immediately asked:

"Huh? What happened?"

"I can't go into details with you, just follow my instructions."

I'll use a method to change your and Xiao Liang's appearances later. After that, change your names, go to the dock immediately, and take a boat to leave this place.

There is a large ship among the boats docked at the pier. It belongs to the Heavenly Dao Division. If you board this ship, you will be safe on the journey.

Remember to find a safe place to disembark... Anyway, if I survive, I'll come looking for you.

Zhao Yao spoke hurriedly, taking out several stacks of large sums of silver notes and a bag of loose silver that he had brought with him beforehand, and handed them to Zhao Jiujiang.

"Take this money and use it on your journey, but don't flaunt your wealth."

Also, please remember, you must never mention having a son like me again. Even your name must be completely changed. Only this way can you and Xiao Liang be absolutely safe.

"What exactly happened? Why did they suddenly do this?"

Zhao Jiujiang pressed for answers, looking bewildered and utterly puzzled.

A thought struck him, and he asked again:

"Could it be related to those two strongmen who live near our house?"

"Almost... I don't have time to explain in detail, it's better if you don't know these things."

"Take Xiao Liang and leave quickly. The farther away you are, the safer you will be. Only then can I act with peace of mind, and only then will I be truly safe."

Zhao Yao spoke in a deep voice, unwilling to explain further.

Then, he summoned Zhao Liang, who looked bewildered and confused, and made him stand with his father, Zhao Jiujiang.

Zhao Yao took one last look at their current appearance, recalling his experience of using divine power. With his obsession, he activated the demonic power within him, unleashing its incredible strength to forcibly change the appearance of his father and younger brother.

"Hiss, that's strange, I feel a tingling sensation on my face and body."

Brother, what did you do?

Zhao Liang touched his drastically changed face, looked at his equally drastically changed father, his eyes wide open, and he was speechless for a moment:

"Father, Father, your face has changed."

Zhao Jiujiang reached out and touched his face, looking at Zhao Liang, whose appearance had also changed drastically, his expression filled with shock.

"Alright, stop dawdling."

"Come quickly with this water in the basin, wash off the smell, change into some new clothes, and leave right away."

Zhao Yao urged them repeatedly and brought the basin of "flying water" from his own yard here.

They are mortals, without any power in their bodies, and are not afraid of the erosion caused by the ascending water.

They wash themselves with the water of ascension to remove the scent of magic from their bodies, so that they won't be mistaken for demons and killed.

Urged on by Zhao Yao, everything happened very quickly.

After Zhao Liang and Zhao Jiujiang finished washing up and changing into new clothes, with money in their pockets, they looked at each other's unfamiliar appearance and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Don't hesitate any longer, let's go."

Dad, I'll repeat it again, remember to take Xiaoliang to the dock to ride the biggest ship. That ship is the safest; it belongs to the Heavenly Dao Division.

Xiao Liang, don't worry, I'll remember your new look.

Zhao Yao urged him on, gave some instructions to Zhao Jiujiang, and then looked at Zhao Liang, gently comforting him.

The two were confused, but they clearly sensed a sense of urgency.

Under the cover of night, the three stood on the main road in the village, looking at each other.

"Yao'er, no matter what happens, you must survive."

Don't worry about us, I'll take good care of your brother.

Goodbye, brother.

Finally, Zhao Jiujiang made a solemn promise to Zhao Yao. Zhao Liang seemed to understand something, looked at Zhao Yao, and gave him one last look.

"Yes, don't worry, I will definitely survive."

Zhao Yao nodded slightly, trying her best to smile at the two of them.

Subsequently, under Zhao Yao's watchful eye, the father and younger brother left the village overnight and headed towards the dock.

"Sigh~~"

He looked in that direction and took a deep breath.

With those worries resolved, it's time to get down to business.

Zhao Yao controlled Zhao Er's body to turn around and face Zhao Yi's body, which had appeared beside him. The next moment, both bodies turned their heads together and looked at the original body that had appeared not far away.

Zhao Yao walked up to the two bodies, and with a thought, absorbed them into his body.

He returned to his neighbor's courtyard, put the basin of ascending water into his jade ring, and then left the village, heading straight for Yuelong City with a clear goal in mind.

……

Under the starry night, Zhao Yao kept walking and soon arrived outside Yuelong City.

He stopped, looked around, quickly determined his direction, found his target, and started running again.

Not long after, on a low hill, in front of a dilapidated temple that had collapsed into pieces and was in a mess, his figure appeared.

He looked at the collapsed, dilapidated temple and released Zhao Yi's body.

He manipulated Zhao Yi's body, walked forward to a specific location, bent down slightly, tucked his fist into his waist, and punched out, smashing through the collapsed wall with a bang.

Zhao Yao grabbed the section of wall, lifted it up, and threw it away.

bang~

He turned his head and saw Yan Rouyun's body in the same spot, dressed in a constable's uniform, but with her head gone.

Zhao Yao gazed at Yan Rouyun's corpse with sorrow in his eyes, then bent down and carried her out.

Afterwards, he spent some time finding Yan Rouyun's head, piecing her body back together, and cleaning her up.

He carried Yan Rouyun's body to a beautiful, secluded place where no one would disturb him, dug a deep pit, and gently placed her inside.

"I know you'll be fine in the underworld, but I still couldn't help coming here to see you."

You died because of me, I can't just stand by and watch you die without a complete corpse.

Zhao Yao stood at the edge of the pit, gazing at Yan Rouyun sleeping peacefully inside, and spoke softly.

He held two items he had taken from Yan Rouyun's body in his hand, gazing at Yan Rouyun's corpse, and said with a hint of indulgent smile:

You used this jade pendant to apologize to me before.

Now we're even, and I've apologized to you. You don't have to think about how to apologize to me anymore, so you should be able to live a little easier now, right?

Also, about that thing you said you wanted to share with me, I found it. God knows where you got it from.

Are you trying to make me laugh?

Also, the "Me too" you said to me before you left seemed so vague and didn't make sense for a while.

Zhao Yao spoke as if chatting with a friend, paused for a moment, and then continued:

"I have been very happy and have no regrets about spending these days with you, and I hope you feel the same way."

He repeated what he had said to Yan Rouyun when they parted at the desolate rock mountain, remained silent for a while, then tightly gripped the object in his hand, controlling Zhao Yi's body to begin sealing the earth.

The two items left behind by Yan Rouyun in Zhao Yao's possession were a jade token from the Heavenly Dao Division obtained from Song Angran and, quite unexpectedly, a condom from who-knows-where.

This is the good thing that Yan Rouyun told him to come to her and share with him.

When he saw the actual object, looking at Yan Rouyun's corpse beside him, he felt both sorrow and a desire to laugh.

Yan Rouyun was joking with him, which indicates that their relationship is gradually normalizing.

Unfortunately, everything came to an abrupt end.

pop~

pop~

pop~

It's raining.

Zhao Yao was soaked to the bone. He took one last look at Yan Rouyun's grave, put aside his grief, and turned to leave.

He still has things to do.

Not long after.

Zhao Yao appeared at the desolate rock mountain.

He ran all the way, his body radiating heat, and the rainwater that soaked him turned into steam, rising up from his body.

He glanced at the desolate rocky mountain, stepped onto the mountain path, and began his ascent.

In the village of the mountain demons, in the square beside the Ascension Pool, sat a bronze warrior with blue hair tied in a bun, his double pupils showing signs of fatigue and anxiety, and a height of over three meters and three centimeters.

Because he was stained with dragon blood, he dared not go back and was hiding here.

—This place is undisturbed for the time being, making it a good hiding spot.

At that moment, he suddenly heard footsteps. His face lit up with joy, thinking that the demigod warrior Silver Deer had brought news. He immediately stood up and looked up.

On the mountain path, Zhao Yao's figure slowly ascended, appearing in the eyes of the Bronze Warrior.

The bronze warrior Jin Xing, looking down at Zhao Yao with a furrowed brow, asked:

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Zhao Yao didn't speak, but just stared at him, recalling the information Yan Rouyun had given him.

"Grasp firmly": Manipulate the air to lock the enemy's body, making it difficult for them to move and obstructing their breathing.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait": This phrase halts the enemy's advance and brings misfortune.

Looking at Zhao Yao, Jin Xing frowned and said:

Are you mute?

Zhao Yao looked back at Jin Xing, still remaining silent.

He released Zhao Er, controlled Zhao Er, stretched out his hand, aimed it at the bronze warrior Jin Xing, and uttered his first words:

"Miraculous Technique: Divine Sense!"
