A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

Zhao Jingang completely lost his composure...

He was peacefully cultivating in his cave when someone came to challenge him. He endured the beating, since he was simply outmatched.

As a result, the other party surrendered after the fight...

Is this some kind of joke?

So all it was for was to beat him up?

Zhao Jingang was so angry that his teeth itched. This was too much of a bullying!

Ye Chen frowned slightly, looked at Zhao Jingang in front of him, and immediately became displeased, rolling up his sleeves and saying.

"Who says you can't admit defeat once you've won?"

"You won't allow it? Then...shall we continue our sparring?"

As he spoke, he clenched his fist, as if about to strike...

Zhao Jingang: ? ? ?

Upon seeing this, Zhao Jingang's expression froze. When he saw Ye Chen's clenched fist, his heart trembled, and his face changed drastically...

He quickly waved his hand, saying that if he made another move, he might be beaten into mincemeat.

"Don't..."

"Senior Brother Xu, I was speaking too loudly just now, please don't take it to heart..."

"If you say I won, then I won!"

Zhao Jingang forced a smile, but he could only suppress his resentment, since he couldn't beat him.

Seeing this, Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction, looking at the "honest and simple" Zhao Jingang in front of him, "That's more like it. Wouldn't it have been fine if you had said so earlier?"

"Yes, yes, yes... Senior Brother Xu is right." Zhao Jingang didn't dare to refute and quickly echoed.

Wu Liang, who was standing to the side, had been itching to get started and was getting impatient. Seeing Ye Chen "concede" and end the match, he immediately stepped forward, stared intently at Zhao Jingang, and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Senior Brother Zhao, I want to...challenge you!"

Wu Liang said with a serious expression.

He had been trembling with fear at Zhao Jingang's hands, and now he was determined to get his revenge...

"you?"

Zhao Jingang was taken aback, and looked at Wu Liang in front of him with surprise, feeling puzzled.

Wasn't this kid terrified before? How come he dares to challenge me now?

Could it be that they saw he was injured and wanted to take advantage of the situation?

Or perhaps... these two are going to use a tag-team strategy?

Thinking of this, Zhao Jingang's gaze towards Wu Liang changed, becoming even more ferocious than before...

Are you sure?

"Don't beg for mercy later..."

Zhao Jingang said with a gloomy expression.

"Gurgle!"

Meeting Zhao Jingang's gaze, Wu Liang shuddered in fright, a flicker of fear crossing his mind. Sensing the oppressive aura emanating from the other man, he couldn't help but feel tense...

He quickly looked to Ye Chen for help.

"Senior Brother Xu... he seems pretty good at fighting. What if I can't beat him?"

Although Ye Chen has already made his move, he might not be able to defeat the injured Zhao Jingang. He might not only fail to seize the cave dwelling, but also waste all the pills he'd spent, and might even end up getting beaten up...

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen immediately saw the worry in Wu Liang's heart and pondered for two seconds before speaking.

"Don't worry, now that I've accepted your pills, I'll definitely take care of things for you..."

"If you really can't beat him in a bit, just admit defeat, and I'll challenge him one more time, beat him to a pulp, and then you can deal with him..."

He made a promise: he would do the job if he received money.

That's what reputation is all about. Once you've built a name for yourself, people won't have to worry about failing when they hire you to treat them with expensive medicine...

Hearing Ye Chen's assurance, Wu Liang was overjoyed and immediately felt much more at ease.

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Xu..."

He turned to look at Zhao Jingang in front of him, and all his worries vanished...

If things really don't work out, just admit defeat. Anyway, Ye Chen is there to back you up, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

As Zhao Jingang listened to their conversation, his expression turned strange...

Is this done without any regard for his feelings?

Zhao Jingang originally wanted to teach Wu Liang a lesson and vent his anger on him, but who would have thought that Ye Chen was really an accomplice that Wu Liang had invited...

How do we fight this?

He stole a glance at Ye Chen, still feeling lingering fear of his strength...

"Senior Brother Xu, may I ask... how many pills did this kid give you?"

"If I could afford double the amount of pills, could you please help me teach him a lesson, senior brother?"

Zhao Jingang looked at Ye Chen and asked.

If revenge could be achieved simply by spending pills, why would he bother fighting for a cave dwelling?

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang, who was standing nearby, immediately became agitated...

"Senior Brother Xu..."

If Ye Chen were bribed by the other party, and the two of them joined forces against him, his frail body wouldn't be able to withstand it, and he might very well be beaten to death here today...

Meeting Zhao Jingang's curious gaze, Ye said with a serious expression.

"Fifty Grade Two Spirit-Replenishing Pills..."

"However... I, Xu, believe in honor among thieves. Now that I've accepted Junior Brother Wu's pills, no matter how much you offer, I won't lay a hand on him..."

If he were to turn against Wu Liang, his reputation would be ruined, and who would dare to hire him again? Everyone would worry about being betrayed, and his business dealings would be over...

He was still hoping to grow stronger and, during the inner sect selection a month later, amass a harvest of elixirs for his cultivation...

Hearing Ye Chen say this, Wu Liang, who had been holding his breath, immediately relaxed and let out a long sigh of relief...

He was genuinely scared just now. If Ye Chen had been bribed, he would have been forced to leave today.

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Xu..."

Wu Liang glanced at Ye Chen gratefully.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jingang's expression changed slightly, and he looked somewhat disappointed.

He had indeed considered using pills to bribe Ye Chen and vent his anger, but seeing that Ye Chen remained unmoved, he had no choice but to abandon the idea...

"Senior Brother Zhao, let's begin..."

Wu Liang urged Zhao Jingang in front of him, feeling confident and not flustered at all thanks to Ye Chen's backup plan...

If you can't beat them, just admit defeat. Senior Brother Xu will stand up for you!

"you..."

Zhao Jingang clenched his fists in resentment, gritted his teeth, and glared at Wu Liang in front of him. Seeing through his thoughts, he could only relent.

"I... admit defeat!"

He was confident he could defeat Wu Liang, but the thought of getting beaten up by Ye Chen made him lose all interest in fighting.

"real?"

Wu Liang's expression brightened; seeing Zhao Jingang voluntarily admit defeat, he immediately relaxed...

After all, if they really fought, he would inevitably suffer some injuries. Seizing the other party's cave without a fight would naturally be the best outcome...

"Then... I'll concede!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Wu Liang laughed heartily, turned around, and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting to Ye Chen.

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Xu..."

"I will forever remember Senior Brother Xu's kindness. I will be at your service in the future, even at your risk of life and death..."

Although he had paid Ye Chen with elixirs, he still remembered this favor, since not every senior brother was willing to help someone in a match...

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen gave Wu Liang an appreciative look, then prepared to turn and leave...

Zhao Jingang, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up.

"Senior Brother Xu, please wait..."
