Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

Uh……

Xiwu Dalang was stunned. Should he admit that Cao Geng was involved or deny it?

He quickly apologized with a smile, "Mr. Commander, what do you want to see Cao Geng about?"

"asshole……"

Inoue Sadae slapped him mercilessly.

"What does my search for Cao Geng have to do with you? You just need to answer whether he is here or not."

Seibu Tairo was helpless. The power gap made him unable to resist. He could only whisper, "Indeed, he is inside, but the commander-in-chief has instructed that no one should be disrespectful to him."

"asshole……"

Inoue Sadae slapped him again.

"You idiot, now that you've been promoted to colonel, you dare to disobey me? Let me tell you, even if you become a major, you are still my subordinate."

After saying this, Inoue Sadae kicked the door open and rushed in.

However, Seibu Dalang did not dare to bring anyone to follow him. This was a battle between gods, so how could he dare to interfere?

Uh……

Cao Geng was stunned inside the room. Who was this person? Why was he so angry?

The two Japanese Shadow Clan women who were drinking with him were also frightened like quails, huddling beside Cao Geng.

When Inoue Sadae saw Cao Geng, his eyes were like burning flames...

"Evil spirits, please retreat. You must be Cao Geng."

Cao Geng responded: "Who are you? I don't think I have ever met you before."

"Ha ha……"

Inoue Sadae laughed coldly and said, "You naturally don't know me. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Inoue Sadae, and I am the commander of the 69th Legion. Now, you should understand why I came to find you, right?"

Cao Geng shook his head, looking confused: "I don't understand! Is there any grudge between us?"

Inoue Sadae was furious when he heard this: "My 59th Brigade was destroyed by you. Do you think we have a grudge against each other?"

"Oh……"

Cao Geng suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. But matters on the battlefield should be decided on the battlefield. Why do you come to me now? Do you want to reap what you sow?"

Reap the consequences?

When Inoue Sadae heard this, he was furious and quickly drew his magic sword and pointed it at Cao Geng.

"Evil spirit, retreat! Do you believe that I will kill you right here and now?"

Cao Geng pushed the two ghostly women away, leaned back in his chair leisurely, and said confidently, "I don't believe it."

Click...

Inoue Sadae was stunned for a moment.

I’ve seen bold people before, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone so audacious!

Not to mention now, he really didn't dare to attack Cao Geng easily.

Cao Geng was discussing surrender with the commander of the demon world. How could he have the courage to do that?

In the original story, Li Yunlong killed Shan Mao because he was bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. If the rebels were looking for the brigade commander to negotiate surrender, Li Yunlong would not dare to act rashly.

Cao Geng was well aware of these things, and since he did not feel any fatal threat, he was not afraid.

Courage is honed in situations like this.

"Evil demons retreat..."

Inoue Sadae was furious and stepped forward to slap Cao Geng in the face.

"Snapped……"

However, Cao Geng grabbed his hand firmly and pulled him, causing him to slam his head against the table, with blood gushing out of his nose.

The magic sword also fell into Cao Geng's hands and pressed against his forehead.

The guards brought by Inoue Sadae immediately became nervous and drew their weapons at Cao Geng.

"Evil spirits, retreat! Let go of our legion commander..."

Cao Geng understood that at this moment, these guards had the courage to open fire.

But he sensed no danger and ignored it, instead pointing his sword at Inoue Sadae's head.

He said, "Evil demons, retreat! Do you believe that I will take your life right now?"

Click...

Inoue Sadae was stunned and speechless.

It’s a slap in the face. It’s so slap in the face.

Cao Geng repeated his words. This time, the choice fell into the hands of Inoue Sadae.

Inoue Sadae gnashed his teeth and said, "Evil demons, retreat, I don't believe it."

Cao Geng was furious. He grabbed his throat and lifted him up to stand in front of him.

"boom……"

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Then, the magic sword was unsheathed.

However, the tip of the sword did not pierce Inoue Sadae's head, Cao Geng swung the sword upwards.

Inoue Sadae was instantly terrified and almost lost control. With his throat strangled, he could only scream.

Inoue Sadae's guards exchanged confused looks with each other, their noses crooked with anger, but they could do nothing about Cao Geng, after all, the division commander was still under his control. How dare this guy touch magic in a fantasy world!

Outside the door, many demon soldiers rushed in and were all shocked when they saw this scene.

Iwamatsu Yoshio was in the command center, frightened by the sudden explosion of magic, and hurried over with his men. The demon soldiers quickly cleared a path for him.

When Yoshio Iwamatsu stepped into the room, he was immediately shocked by the scene before him.

He roared angrily: "Damn it, Cao Geng, what are you doing?"

All this was the reason why Cao Geng cast a spell to lure him here.

When Cao Geng saw him appear, he immediately shouted angrily: "Yoshio Iwamatsu, what do you want to ask me? I should ask you. We have already reached an agreement. Why did you send Sadae Inoue to assassinate me? Do you think it's easy to deal with me alone?"

Ok?

Iwamatsu Yoshio was stunned for a moment, then he saw the crux of the matter.

Now it seems obvious that it was Inoue Sadae who led his men to provoke and cast a spell, so Cao Geng was forced to defend himself.

Iwamatsu Yoshio was furious and roared, "Inoue Sadae, what are you doing?"

Inoue Sadae felt very aggrieved! It would not be a big deal if he was insulted by humans in his own territory, but now he had to take responsibility for it.

He firmly retorted: "General, I refuse to allow this demon to join our ranks. He destroyed my 59th Legion, and I have an irreconcilable hatred for him."

Iwamatsu Yoshio was furious! His hope of being promoted to general depended on this operation, and this guy jumped out to mess things up, isn't this courting death?

Yansong Yixiong said sternly: "Cao Geng, let him go."

Cao Geng obediently let go of his hand and dropped the staff on the table.

Yoshio Iwamatsu stepped forward and slapped Inoue Sadae hard.

"Asshole, you dare to interfere in this matter? Who do you think you are?"

Inoue Sadae was slapped so hard that he was dizzy, but he still responded firmly: "This guy has killed so many of our warriors. How can he be qualified to be a mage in our great empire?"

See, it's a matter of perspective.

In fact, the more demons Cao Geng killed, the more weight he would have at the negotiating table.

Yansong Yixiong slapped him hard again and cursed: "Asshole, this matter has been reported to the royal court. This is the royal court's decision. How can a small legion commander like you obstruct it?"

"You bastard, let me tell you, originally your legion had a chance to bring Cao Geng back, and your promotion would not have been a problem. But because of what you did, you have no chance now."

what……

Inoue Sadae was stunned.

My rank of lieutenant general is gone just like that?

He just wanted to intimidate Cao Geng and vent his anger, but he didn't expect things to become so serious!

Inoue Sadae became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and declared angrily: "General, I will prove to you that he is not qualified to join our great Imperial Mage Corps."

This aroused Iwamatsu Yoshio's interest...

As long as Inoue Sadae can prove that Cao Geng is worthless, Cao Geng's fate can be easily manipulated by him.

Indeed, this Cao Geng was too arrogant. He actually dared to come here to negotiate with him, and put on a condescending attitude.

If we can teach him a profound lesson, subsequent negotiations will surely go much more smoothly.

Iwamatsu Yoshio asked, "Tell me, how are you going to prove it?"

Inoue Sadae replied: "I will arrange for a brave man to compete with him. I want to let the commander know that there are many characters like him in my team."

Cao Geng shrugged his shoulders, remained silent, and sat leisurely in his seat, sipping tea and watching the performance of the two.

Yansong Yixiong's eyes lit up. This idea was actually quite good. As long as someone could defeat Cao Geng, his status would plummet.

When the time comes, let’s see how you can still be so arrogant in front of me, Cao Geng?

Yansong Yixiong pondered for a moment and suggested: "Mr. Cao Geng, it seems that he will not give up easily unless you fight him. Do you have the courage to accept his challenge?"

Cao Geng smiled calmly: "It's fine to accept the challenge, but what if someone in the audience shoots a cold arrow at me during the competition? What should I do?"

Inoue Sadae hastened to assure him: "No way, I swear on my honor that this will never happen."

Cao Geng retorted: "I don't believe your oath. If I knock down your brother on stage, can you bear not to shoot me off stage?"

Inoue Sadae was speechless for a moment.

After thinking about it, he said, "I promise that except for the security personnel, no one else is allowed to bring weapons into the venue. Is that okay?"

Cao Geng responded: "General Yansong, I don't trust him, I only trust you. What I have learned are all deadly skills. Once I use them, life and death will be decided immediately. When the time comes, don't blame me for not warning you."

Cao Geng was eager for this duel. In front of so many enemies, it was exciting to destroy the strong ones openly, especially those with great skills.

Well, if you lose your life because of your inferior skills, there is nothing you can do about it. Who is to blame for your lack of skills?

Iwamatsu Yoshio assured: "Okay, I will ensure your safety and agree to your request."

Cao Geng said, "Then I have no objection."

Inoue Sadae said happily, "Very good, then our contest will be scheduled for 10 o'clock tomorrow, how about that?"

Cao Geng smiled and replied, "Time is no problem, but let me make it clear first. It is impossible to defeat me with just one or two people. You'd better prepare more people! I have no problem here. I can handle up to a hundred people. But let's make it clear in advance that we can't attack in groups!"

The plan in Cao Geng’s mind was simple. Since there was a chance, he would eliminate a few more arrogant enemies in a fair and square manner.

However, to the ears of these enemies, these words sounded extremely arrogant.

As soon as Cao Geng said this, all the enemies in the room were so angry that their noses were almost crooked.

This idiot actually dared to claim that he could defeat a hundred people alone. What does he think of us?

Inoue Sadae was furious, his eyes reddened: "The venue for the contest is set in the central square of Taiyuan City, open to the world, do you dare?"

That’s right, this guy is too arrogant…

He wants to reveal the truth to the world, and by then, messengers and reporters from all over the world will come in droves. He wants to kill this strange beast in front of all the messengers.

Iwamatsu Yoshio was slightly stunned, and also thought that this suggestion was extremely wise.

If Cao Geng is defeated, then it would be fine to kill him right there. This would cause heavy damage to the Eighth Route Army and even the entire Chinese land.

After all, Cao Geng rescued many captives, and now he has become famous in China.

Executing Cao Geng in public would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to China. If Cao Geng really wins, that's fine, then he can be publicly accepted into the empire.

The more heroic Cao Geng is, the more favorable it will be for the headquarters. No matter how you look at it, this deal is a great victory.

But the security issue was a bit tricky, as he was worried that Cao Geng would take the opportunity to escape.

However, there is no need to worry. As long as we surround the entire square with three layers inside and three layers outside, are we still afraid that he will escape?

Cao Geng was not as complicated as they imagined. He thought for a moment and said, "Isn't this bad? If I win, won't you lose face?"

"It's okay." Yoshio Iwamatsu finally spoke.

"Cao Geng, we have agreed to meet at 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow. After the competition, we will announce to the messengers around the world that you have joined our Great Empire Royal Army. How do you think?"

Cao Geng shrugged and said indifferently: "I have no objection, as long as you are not afraid of losing face. However, I have to make sure my brothers return home safely."

"very good……"

Iwamatsu Yoshio was overjoyed! Regardless of winning or losing, he was the winner!

Yoshio Iwamatsu's idea is wonderful.

A strong man like Cao Geng can fight against a hundred people alone. How will China react if he openly joins the Imperial Army of the Great Empire in front of messengers from various countries?

"Okay, it's settled. I'll send someone to deliver your communicator, and you can try to contact them. If you trust me, just tell them to come to our base and ask for a car, and go home directly! So as not to interfere with our affairs."

Cao Geng was stunned. How could this guy be so magnanimous?

But he felt relieved after thinking about it. Even he was captured here, so Iwamatsu Yoshio really wouldn't take those remaining insignificant people seriously.

At this moment, Yoshio Iwamatsu only wanted the dust to settle as soon as possible.

The sky was gradually swallowed by darkness.

Tang Long led his men to hide everywhere, exhausted, but Zheng Xiao kept provoking them.

"Haha, you don't have to run away. It's just a waste of energy. You can't escape. Our people are everywhere here. Where can you escape to? Haha..."

"I think! You should learn from your battalion commander and surrender to our Great Empire Royal Army! Hahahaha..."

Tang Long was furious.

He stopped suddenly and said, "Fatty, put him down. I'm going to bury him together with Tang Liu today and let him be buried with Tang Liu."
