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

Master Komatsu stood there in a daze, his mind in chaos, as if shrouded in fog.

Cao Geng's anger erupted like a volcano, and he slapped him hard on the face with a mental whip: "Stupid guy, take him to the dark secret room."

At this time, the Fat Master and the Xiangzi Master were controlling the Xiaosong Master. Upon hearing Cao Geng's order, they immediately dragged him to the deep secret room.

Cao Geng walked in front and kicked open the door of Master Xiaosong’s secret stone chamber.

Then, he grabbed the collar of Master Xiaosong's robe with one hand, his eyes flashing with cold starlight: "Tell me the truth, where is the treasure hidden?"

"You fool, you are trying to spy on me. Even if my soul is torn to pieces, I will never reveal a single word."

Master Komatsu's roar echoed throughout the room, like a raging dragon.

"Boom..."

Cao Geng's magic power exploded like a storm, accurately hitting Master Xiaosong's right arm joint.

"what……"

Master Komatsu let out a shrill whine, the pain almost making him lose his mind.

These guys are too cruel. If you disobey them, their souls will be taken away or their bodies will be mutilated.

If I had known this would happen, I should have compromised with him earlier, at least to keep my body intact.

Master Xiaosong felt remorseful and shouted hastily, "Speak! I will tell you right now. There is a hidden treasure room behind that wall. Open it and you will find a mountain of gold nuggets."

Cao Geng was slightly stunned.

It was really unexpected that this cunning guy didn't bury the treasure under the bed.

He walked slowly toward the wall and tapped it gently with his cane, and sure enough, he detected an unusual echo.

Cao Geng asked: "How do we open the door to this secret room?"

Master Xiaosong did not dare to hide it any longer and quickly replied: "We just need to use a sharp knife to find the gap and pry it open to reveal the sun."

Helpless, these guys resort to violence at every turn, completely disregarding reason. It's too much.

Cao Geng nodded, pulled out a short blade from his arms, and pried the wall open in a few strokes.

Sure enough, there was an exquisite treasure chest in the hidden secret room.

Cao Geng frowned. Although the treasure chest was small, even if it was fully loaded with gold, it would probably only hold about 20 kilograms.

Cao Geng took out the treasure chest and when he opened it, what came into view was a full container of sparkling gold.

"Oh, a rare treasure..."

Cao Geng stared at Master Xiaosong and asked, "Are there any other treasures?"

Master Xiaosong shook his head quickly and replied, "No more, this is all, it all falls into your hands."

"boom……"

"Oh! What misery..."

The sound of the bowstring rang out again, and Master Komatsu groaned in pain.

This time the archer was the fat wizard, and the target was still his injured arm, in almost the same position.

The pain was unbearable.

Cao Geng asked again: "Is there really no other treasure? Confess and you will be spared the pain."

At this time, Master Komatsu fell to his knees and prostrated himself on the ground in pain.

Tears welled up in his eyes as he cried, "It's gone, it's really gone, please believe my words!"

The fat mage was about to draw his bow, but Cao Geng reached out to stop him, saying, "Push him down, cut off his injured arm, and there is no point in keeping his broken wings."

"As ordered..."

The fat wizard was overjoyed after hearing this, as this kind of thing was quite to his liking and was much better than beating and kicking.

He immediately kicked Master Komatsu to the ground, stepped on his back with one foot, and grabbed his injured arm with one hand, ready to tear it apart fiercely.

Although the bones of the injured arm were broken, the skin and flesh were still connected.

How severe the pain must be if it was pulled so hard?

Master Xiaosong cried and begged for mercy: "No, I tell you, there is a treasure chest behind the wall."

Cao Geng followed his instructions and found a secret compartment on the wall. He obtained another treasure chest, which was exactly the same as the previous one, and returned home loaded with gold.

Cao Geng smiled, at least forty kilograms of gold had fallen into his pocket.

However, this is not the secret of Captain Komatsu's wealth.

Seeing Cao Geng's eerie smile, Captain Xiaosong trembled all over, as if he was tightly entangled by the roots of an ancient tree.

"Don't look at me, I have nothing. This is all my wealth. Believe me, I have nothing left..."

"Ha ha……"

Cao Geng chuckled, and that laughter was like an ancient spell, echoing in the empty hall.

There was no need to ask any more questions this time. He went straight to the bed and tapped the bottom of the bed with his sword.

"Gah..."

Captain Komatsu was stunned, as if he heard the call from the abyss.

How do you know there is wealth here outside the vast wilderness?

"Beyond the Eight Wastelands, you are greedy beyond measure. If you dare to take this treasure, I guarantee that you will not be able to leave the camp. Can I let you go if you only take two boxes?"

Captain Komatsu shouted, his voice trembling with despair.

This is his last hidden gold, and also his bottom line. If he loses all this wealth to Cao Geng, what is the point of living?

Alas, this person values ​​money more than his life.

What’s more important is that there is a lot of gold hidden under the bed.

Not only were there 60 kilograms of gold, but there was also 50,000 US dollars.

This is all the wealth he has plundered during his years here.

If these treasures were taken away, even if he survived, he would never be able to amass such a huge fortune again.

Because he had exploited the resources that could be plundered in the territory he ruled countless times.

What's more, after such an incident and the loss of his arm, can he continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of this castle?

Therefore, this is his last line of defense.

However, Cao Geng turned a deaf ear to this and continued his exploration.

Soon, he found the secret mechanism and dragged out a huge treasure chest.

When he opened it, Cao Geng couldn't help but smile, and that smile was as if he had discovered a lost star.

With this huge treasure, it would be enough to equip the entire Duli Knights with magic-enhanced swords and armor, right?

"The devil's words..."

The commander-in-chief Xiao Song went completely crazy. He screamed, "Evil Spirit Guards, bring them to me..."

Cao Geng raised his hand and cast a magic spell, which was like lightning in the dark night.

"Boom..."

A ball of energy hit Commander Komatsu directly in the chest, like the dawn breaking through the darkness.

what……

The fat man was stunned, as if he was frozen in time by the gaze of a gargoyle.

Shoko was also stunned, as if she had been forgotten by the flow of time.

What happened to Haozi? Was he crazy? Why did he kill the commander-in-chief?

How can we leave this castle if we kill him?

Commander Xiao Song was also stunned, his eyes were like falling stars.

His eyes widened in disbelief and he stared down at the scar on his chest, as if he saw the cracks in his soul.

Then he looked up at Cao Geng and asked in disbelief: "You, how dare you kill me?"

Cao Geng picked up the treasure chest, stood up and said, "Because you are no longer useful."

After saying that, he cast magic again, and it was the whisper of death.

"Boom..."

The energy ball hit Commander Komatsu directly in the heart, like an embrace of hellfire.

what……

"You, you, you lunatic..."

After Commander Komatsu finished speaking, he fell on his back on the ground like a broken puppet.

Cao Geng said: "Take the treasure, drag his body, and leave this place."

Fatty and Shoko hurriedly carried a small box of gold each, and then pulled the body of Commander Komatsu, and slowly came to the hall outside. Their movements were like shadows in the moonlight.

In fact, Commander Komatsu was not completely dead at this time. When he was dragged out of the hall, he was still vomiting blood, like the river of life drying up.

what……

Everyone in the hall was stunned, as if shrouded in eternal silence.

The evil spirit chief of staff, two deputy commanders and a minor commander stared at the body of Commander Komatsu in amazement, as if they were witnessing the end of an era.

Tang Long and the others looked at Cao Geng in disbelief, wondering what thread of fate he was weaving.

Cao Geng said in a low voice: "Don't be surprised. We are great thieves who travel among the shadows. Our lives are humble. This boy did not obey the will of heaven, so I took his soul. I don't know what you think. Are you willing to obey?"

what?

The evil spirit chief of staff, the two deputy commanders, and the junior commander all looked as pale as paper.

He was shocked and terrified, and didn't know how to respond to Cao Geng.

This boy is simply a madman among demons!

Cao Geng said, "Don't be afraid. We are here only to find treasures, not to take your lives. Whoever among you can ensure that we leave safely will have a chance of survival. If we can't escape, you will also die. Now, who among you has the ability to lead us away?"

Cao Geng knew very well that these people from the evil spirit clan would obey the orders of the junior commander after the death of their leader.

Therefore, to him, General Komatsu was dispensable.

He just used his actions to make it clear to those who followed him that they must remember this principle in the future.

The four evil spirit generals remained silent. They were confused and didn't know what to do.

This group of bandits seem to be possessed by evil spirits. If we let them go, will they let us go?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Cao Geng asked again: "I ask again, can you ensure our safe departure? Fatty, come forward, start with this team leader. If they refuse to answer, we will defeat them one by one and fight for a glimmer of hope."

"promise……"

The fat man immediately held the magic scepter and pointed it at the captain's forehead.

The captain said hurriedly: "I would like to ensure your safe departure. I would like to ensure your safe departure, but my position is low and I may not be able to do so."

Cao Geng said, "If that's the case, there's no point in keeping you here. Fatty, get started."

"boom……"

The fat man waved the scepter without hesitation.

A crack instantly appeared on the captain's head, and he fell to the ground with a look of unwillingness on his face.

The dark creatures outside could no longer bear it, and dozens of them pushed the door open and rushed in.

Tang Long and others immediately subdued the remaining three Dark Charm generals and blocked them in front.

"Don't move, or I will kill you, the great wizard."

Tang Long and others shouted a warning.

Cao Geng was not afraid at all. He turned around and glared at the captain of the guard. He stepped forward and slapped him in the face, shouting, "You despicable fellow, what are you doing here? Who allowed you in? Get out."

Indeed, it is so ambitious.

His confidence came from the fact that he did not feel any fatal threat, which meant that the dark creatures did not dare to attack easily.

Click...

All the dark creatures were frightened.

I have never seen such a rampant person in my life.

Cao Geng pressed his staff against the captain's forehead and shouted angrily, "I'll say it again, get out."

"what……"

The dark creatures are full of resentment! However, their three key members are still under the control of others.

What should they do? They are helpless!

The most important thing is that the strongest dark creature in the outside world is only a squadron magician. Who dares to order an attack?

In this world shrouded in eternal darkness, Cao Geng and his companions are safe and sound in the hall of the ancient castle because there is no supreme king among the shadow creatures in the outside world who can issue orders. All the characters above the rank of shadow captain are trapped in this secret room full of mysterious atmosphere. Who will the squadron magicians outside obey? Who has the courage to take on this important task?

The captain of the dark guards glanced at the three powerful night wizards, but no one dared to step forward and lead the crowd. In the end, he could only say in a low voice with anger in his heart: "Let's leave here."

Cao Geng gently waved the glowing staff in his hand, and his tone revealed unquestionable power: "There is no such possibility. They can leave, but you must stay."

At this moment, Cao Geng's heart was filled with alarm. He knew that he must not let the captain of the guard escape from here. Once the squadron magician outside obeyed him, the situation would become uncontrollable.

"what?"

The captain of the guard was filled with resentment and confusion. He widened his eyes, trying to understand Cao Geng's intentions and didn't understand why he was treated like this.

Those shadow creatures were also stunned and could not understand Cao Geng's actions.

Cao Geng said in a deep voice: "Are you deaf? Or do you not understand the language of the night? Get out of here, and you are the only one who must stay. Leave quickly, or my staff will crush his head mercilessly."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the shadow creatures did not dare to hesitate at all and retreated from the hall in a hurry and chaos.

Cao Geng shouted sternly: "Close the door!"

The last two ghosts turned quickly and carefully closed the heavy stone door. Their movements were quick and obedient.

"Woooo ......"

Cao Geng held a long sword in his hand, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the captain's forehead, and his voice shook the entire space: "Tell me, three of you, can you guarantee our safety and leave this shadowy land?"

The ghost chief of staff was about to speak when the dagger in Cao Geng's hand cut through the air like lightning.

"bass……"

With a crisp sound, the captain of the guard's helmet flew off and he fell heavily on the dusty ground.

Cao Geng showed an unhappy look on his face and said coldly: "My patience has been exhausted."

Before he finished speaking, he stepped forward, pressed the tip of his sword against the chief of staff's fragile Adam's apple, and asked sternly: "I ask again, can you ensure our safe departure?"

“Yes, yes, yes…”

The ghost chief of staff shouted in response hastily, fearing that if he hesitated for a moment, Cao Geng's sword would fall mercilessly.

This person is obviously an unreasonable and fanatical wizard.

"Woooo ......"

Cao Geng nodded with satisfaction: "You saved your life."

He turned to a ghost squadron leader and put the tip of his sword to his throat: "It's your turn. Tell me, can you ensure our safe departure?"

“Yes, yes, yes…”

The ghost squadron leader also answered loudly. He was completely overwhelmed by fear and had no choice.

They no longer dared to try to reason or negotiate with Cao Geng, as this man's emotions were unpredictable and his behavior was haphazard.

"Woooo ......"

Just as Cao Geng was about to put away his sword, the remaining ghost squadron leader hurriedly shouted: "I can do it too, I can do it too..."

"Woo, you are all smart and have managed to save your lives. Although I am unreasonable, I will keep my promise. As long as we can get out of danger, I will definitely grant you freedom."

After that, Cao Geng turned his gaze to the chief of staff and ordered: "At this moment, immediately convey the order and have your people prepare a magic chariot for us. The vehicle must be equipped with three heavy crossbows, two boxes of blasting runes, and the magic energy must be sufficient. Can you do it?"

The ghost chief of staff responded eagerly: "Yes, yes, yes..."

“Hiss, take him to the gate of mana and let him issue a decree.”

"Hi……"

Tang Long and Wan Chunlang quickly escorted the Shadow Military Advisor to the magnificent magical gate, gently pushed the door open, revealing the secret behind it.

"Loud voice, promulgate the decree..."

Tang Long pressed the sharp tip of the blade against his throat. The Shadow Military Advisor did not dare to neglect it and said hurriedly: "Follow my orders, prepare a dragon-winged chariot, load it with three flame cannons, carry two bags of thunder stones, and fill them with mana."

The shadowy crowd received the order and hurriedly followed Cao Geng's wishes, driving a dragon-winged chariot into the courtyard, shining brightly.

Cao Geng took a deep breath of magic and whispered, "Take them away, take the treasure, and follow me."
