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

Inside the restaurant.

Captain Uemoto was already drunk. He raised his glass to Cao Geng and made a sincere promise: "Brother Cao Geng, don't worry. From now on, you Cao Geng are my brother. If anyone dares to bully you, they must first get past me. If they want to harm you, they have to step over my dead body."

Before he could finish his words, the door was suddenly kicked open.

The first to enter was the division commander Inoue Sadae.

Following behind him was Jimu Zhen, the general.

gah...

Captain Uemoto was about to boast, but when he saw this scene, his words were instantly stuck in his throat and he stared in amazement at the two people who broke in.

Cao Geng whispered, "Brother Shangben, trouble has come. You have to hold on!"

gah...

Captain Uemoto's face instantly turned red as blood.

The speed of this slap in the face was like a hurricane sweeping in!

Which of these two is the one that he, the captain, can afford to offend?

At this moment, Inoue Sadae relied on his backers and looked at Cao Geng arrogantly, shouting, "Cao Geng, you wantonly killed my generals in the military camp. Now, the new commander has arrived. Today, you must give me an explanation."

Cao Geng was stunned when he heard this.

"New commander, what does that mean? Iwamatsu Yoshio has been dismissed?"

To tell the truth, Cao Geng was indeed uneasy when he heard the news.

Changing the commander means that if the other side does not want to recruit him but wants his life, then he will find it difficult to cope and the situation will be extremely critical.

Inoue Sadae had no idea what Cao Geng was thinking. He glared at Cao Geng fiercely and said, "That's not the case, but the new commander has the right to deal with you."

Upon hearing this, Cao Geng felt somewhat relieved. He thought that as long as the policy of the Japanese military leaders remained unchanged, there would still be hope for a turnaround.

Cao Geng asked, "Who is your new commander?"

Ji Muzhen walked out slowly, looked directly at Cao Geng and said, "It's me."

Jimuzhen's eyes seemed to be burning with rage.

He had already studied Cao Geng's information and hated him to the extreme. Now, Cao Geng has become an obstacle to his official career, how can he not hate him?

Well, another powerful enemy that should not be underestimated.

Cao Geng also stared at him and asked, "What's your name?"

"I'm Jimu Zhen—, you should have heard of me!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Geng immediately recognized this person with an extraordinary origin. If he, Cao Geng, had not come from another world, this person might have been in a high position by now.

Cao Geng chuckled and said, "I have heard of the legend about you, but I am wondering, do you have two commanders in the First Legion?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jimuzhen felt as if an arrow had pierced his throat, unable to fight back.

Jimuzhen gnashed his teeth and cursed in his heart: You ignorant guy, if it weren't for you, I would have been the head of the legion by now.

He retorted: "Cao Geng, you don't need to ask about this matter. You killed five of our captains. This is an ironclad fact. Now, I will punish you."

"Ha ha……"

Cao Geng was not afraid at all and responded: "If I remember correctly, you are only a division commander now, and not a general here. Why are you pretending to be the commander of the corps here?"

With just one sentence, Cao Geng instantly deprived Jimuzhen of his authority.

He implied that at this moment Jimu Zhen was not the supreme commander here. He was insignificant here and had no right to deal with himself.

"Bastard thing..."

Jimuzhen - extremely angry.

"Cao Geng, stop talking nonsense here. You obviously have no intention of joining us. I don't believe you at all."

Cao Geng immediately saw through his guilty conscience and remained as arrogant as before.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. I just need the approval of your headquarters. Even the actual ruler here, Inoue Sadae, can't do anything to me. What can you, an outsider division commander, do?"

This arrogant tone left the Japanese soldiers and Inoue Sadae in the room dumbfounded.

The person in front of them is undoubtedly their newly appointed legion commander!

And Cao Geng dared to speak to him so rudely, it was simply lawless.

"Bastard thing..."

Jimuzhen felt that his dignity was challenged, and he was furious and shouted, "Come here! Catch him for me!"

Jimuzhen's guards immediately prepared to take action.

Cao Geng waved his hand to stop him: "Wait."

Then, Cao Geng ignored Yoshiki Sadae and turned to Inoue Sadae and said, "Captain Inoue, do you really want to do this? If so, tomorrow's duel will be cancelled."

Hearing this, Inoue Sadae felt as if he had been hit hard.

In fact, he just wanted to give Cao Geng a warning today. Cao Geng's complacency and arrogance displeased him, and he just wanted to suppress him and prevent him from being too arrogant.

As for dealing with Cao Geng, all plans will have to wait until the situation becomes clear tomorrow.

Canceling tomorrow's duel was the decision of the headquarters. If they intervene, Inoue Sadae will not be able to bear the consequences.

Inoue Sadae looked stern and whispered to Yoshiki Sadae: "General, I'm afraid this is not feasible!"

Jimuzhen is not a stupid person, so he naturally understands that this approach is a dead end.

But I was so angry just now that I had already said it. If I don’t carry it out, what authority will I have when I really become the commander of the legion in the future?

However, Cao Geng had not finished speaking.

Next, Jimuzhen finally understood what true arrogance was.

"Ha ha……"

Cao Geng sneered, "Inoue Sadae, you are not afraid of the son of the real division commander, so how can you be afraid of a fake commander? Not to mention that I have already eliminated several of your captains. Even if I get rid of this impostor here today, what can you do to me?"

squeak...

Inoue Sadae looked stunned.

Is he so domineering?

Indeed, at this critical moment, no matter how extreme Cao Geng's behavior was, he really didn't dare to act rashly. In any case, he had to wait until tomorrow's events were settled before he could settle the old accounts.

Inoue Sadae suddenly felt that it was a mistake to summon Yoshiki Sadae.

Jimuzhen could no longer bear it: "Damn it, Cao Geng, you are too arrogant."

Cao Geng turned his gaze towards him and responded, "You are right, I am arrogant."

Cao Geng took two steps closer, tapped his breastplate with his index finger and said, "I have always been so arrogant, what can you do to me? Don't say I didn't warn you, never let your guards die in vain. If you dare to give an order, I will dare to execute it. These guards of yours are not worth mentioning in front of me. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Arrogance, too much arrogance.

This is our new commander, my God.

All the Japanese soldiers present were dumbfounded.

At this moment, neither Seibu Taro nor Captain Uemoto were afraid of the new commander anymore.

With such a powerful backer, what else do they have to fear?

That’s right, at this moment, they really wanted to follow Cao Geng.

Who else can you follow if not this ruthless person?

"damn it……"

Jimuzhen was so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils.

Cao Geng was slapping him hard in public, and it made a loud slapping sound.

He, Jimuzhen, as a lieutenant general, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

"Okay, Cao Geng, you're good."

Ji Muzhen - at this time, he could not care so much, he said angrily: "Takagi-kun, bring your men and teach this guy a lesson. Just don't beat him completely."

Mr. Takagi was his guard captain, and he had a total of fifty-four Japanese soldiers under his command.

In the final analysis, it was a complete Japanese army squad.

It's over, the commander is angry.

Both Seibu Taro and Captain Uemoto had the urge to step forward and stop it.

Cao Geng waved his hand and said, "Wait, Jimu Zhen, this is the cafeteria, not a place for fighting. Let's go to the training ground."

Cao Geng was secretly delighted.

The reason why he acted so arrogantly was to provoke his anger and force him to take action. He never thought that Jimuzhen really fell into the trap.

More Japanese soldiers are about to be killed!

There was no other way, Jimuzhen - he really had no choice, this fight had to happen.

He has not yet become a true commander, and if he has already assumed that position, things will not be so simple.

Ji Muzhen's eyes were blazing with anger: "Okay, let's go to the training ground."

The group arrived at the training ground noisily.

At this moment, the setting sun has fallen to the top of the mountain, releasing the last ray of brilliance.

The Japanese army's training ground was full of Japanese soldiers watching the fun...

Cao Geng stretched out his arm and announced, "Brother, please lend me your Spirit Blade for a while."

Captain Uemoto took off his knife without hesitation and handed it to Cao Geng. Gao Mu opposite him was confused.

He stared at Jimu Zhen-- and asked anxiously, "General, he is standing with a knife in his hand, how should we deal with him?"

Jimuzhen said in a deep voice: "You can also take the knife, as long as you don't take anyone's life."

On the top of a distant rock, on Yoshio Iwamatsu's tower, he witnessed this scene through a telescope, with a subtle smile on his lips.

That's right, Jimuzhen fell into a trap. Since he arrived here, he has not received the handover of the generals, and his heart has been full of resentment, with nowhere to vent. How can he tolerate Cao Geng's arrogance now?

Yansong Yixiong had expected this to happen. As long as Cao Geng humiliated this man in public, how could he still have the face to fight for the position of commander? He would probably flee in embarrassment.

This is exactly the situation that Yoshio Iwamatsu was looking forward to.

On the training ground, Cao Geng, holding a magic sword, faced fifty-one ghost warriors alone. Before the battle, the air was already filled with tension.

At this moment, Cao Geng became extremely tall in the hearts of those ghosts. Although he was a Chinese, he could not erase the ghosts' awe of him. In the army, admiring the strong is an unchanging rule, and the ghosts have brought it into full play.

Cao Geng took on the group of enemies alone, and before he even started, he had already convinced the ghosts. If it were them, who would have the courage to fight fifty-one alone?

Cao Geng held the knife to test the feel, and found it very comfortable. Suddenly he shouted and rushed towards the enemy camp.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

Oh my God! He actually dared to take the initiative to attack, a true hero, a fearless hero!

Gao Mugui was furious, his eyes full of contempt, and he rushed towards Cao Geng with a knife in hand. As the two approached each other, he slashed at Cao Geng's leg armor.

Cao Geng swung his sword to fight back, and was the first to arrive.

"Whoosh..."

The knife flashed, and Gao Mu's throat was cut. The knife that stabbed Cao Geng fell weakly, and he slowly fell to the ground sideways.

Cao Geng bypassed the tall trees, his sword flashing, and he struck one enemy after another, killing his way forward.

The ghosts' sword dance was like slow motion, always chopping down after Cao Geng passed by. In just over ten seconds, Cao Geng had already passed through the ghosts and came behind them.

The ghosts turned around and were shocked to find more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground.

"Damn it, how is this possible?"

Yoshiki Sada was dumbfounded, and Inoue Sadaie was also stunned. All the ghosts were frozen in place, and everything in front of them was so fast that it was dazzling.

Cao Geng's sword speed was not the fastest, but his body movements were so swift that they were enough to make people despair. They were watching the battle from the spot and could not see his movements clearly. It was conceivable how desperate the people who confronted him would be.

With such swift movements and such wind-slicing sword skills, breaking into the demon tribe is like a wolf entering the territory of a flock of sheep.

Cao Geng turned around and galloped towards the demon army again.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The air was filled with blood mist and wailing was heard everywhere.

It was still the same move, but this time Cao Geng took less than ten breaths to penetrate the enemy formation.

It wasn't that Cao Geng's martial arts skills had improved, but that the demons were filled with fear. Killing them naturally became easy.

Cao Geng returned to the starting point. The demons looked back and were horrified to find that there were more than a dozen dead souls on the ground.

Despair, too much despair.

This man moved as fast as lightning. Before their knives fell, the other party was no longer there.

The demons watching on the side were equally shocked.

With such a speed, let alone holding a sharp blade, even if you hold a magic bullet gun, you probably won’t be able to hit him, right?

Yes, this is the fighting power that Cao Geng put all his effort into.

Helplessly, he had to fight quickly and not get hurt in this battle, otherwise he would not be able to participate in tomorrow's showdown.

Therefore, he must give it his all.

Cao Geng looked back again, and the demons' legs suddenly went weak when he saw his suffocating gaze.

Jimu Zhen shouted loudly: "Stop, don't fight anymore, I admit defeat."

The remaining twenty or so demons retreated hurriedly, as if Cao Geng would rush up and chop them down if they hesitated for a moment.

Cao Geng put away his knife and looked at Jimu Zhen: "What's wrong? Didn't you want to teach me a lesson? Are you giving in so quickly? I've only just started to warm up!"

Jimu Zhen-Answer: "General Yansong and the headquarters are right. I give up."

After saying this, he led the remaining twenty or so demons away.

There was no other choice, staying here would only be more humiliating.

Inoue Sadae also planned to lead his men to retreat.

Cao Geng said, "Inoue Sadae, stop right there."

Inoue Sadae paused and turned back: "Cao Geng, I admit that you are very powerful, but don't get too complacent. Tomorrow is still your end. Tomorrow's opponent will definitely not be comparable to these people."
