"Child's play!"
A crimson red light shield condensed in front of Zhao Lie's right arm and fiercely clashed with the electric bullets. Dozens of powerful shockwaves exploded one after another, causing Zhao Lie to let out a muffled groan and his body to shake violently.
The renowned 'Blood Eagle' did not expect that Han Te would make such rapid progress. Even with the enhancement of the Crystal Suit, he almost failed to resist the young man's bombardment. He could not help but be slightly dazed.
However, he did not give Han Te a second chance. Before Han Te condensed a second wave of electric bullets, the crimson claw appeared again and smashed Han Te to the ground, suppressing him so hard that he could not move anymore.
"Shua!"
Zhao Chong, who was back to himself, burst into fury. He drew his chainsword and raised it high, grinning hideously. "Go to hell, Han Te!"
Before the chainsword slashed down, he had already been kicked away by 'Ma Ku', a brutal man of the Red Fire Gang, from behind.
"This pig is not bad."
Every hole on Ma Ku's face was glittering like an eye. He licked Han Te's body greedily and said casually, "He should be able to be sold at a good price in 'A Boxing Champion'. Don't waste it."
"Hey, Gu Zhengyang."
'Fei Zhong', the translucent meatball, stepped forward and suppressed Gu Zhengyang with his intimidating aura. Then, he stepped on Han Te's back with one of his iron feet and squeezed his spine slowly. Opening a gap in the middle of the fat balls on his face, he grimaced. "Is this your disciple? You've taught him well! "
"Hiss —"
Cracking noises were echoing from Han Te's spine. He was in so much pain that his every finger was cramping beyond his control. But he gritted his teeth and did not let himself scream.
"Senior Brother!"
The Coloured Glaze was almost in tears. She glared at Ma Ku and Fei Zhong with her eyes that were spurting fire.
"And this little girl, is she your daughter?"
Sensing the intense gaze of the Coloured Glaze, Fei Zhong's smile grew even wider. A tongue full of spikes stuck out from the crack and licked the crevices between the fat on his face. "She's very pretty and has a very nice voice. What's her name? Coloured Glaze, right? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, she really lives up to her name …"
"Killing is an art, but it's also a form of enjoyment. I'm not like Ma Ku, who doesn't care about meat and vegetables. I like to kill those who are beautiful and have beautiful voices. When I meet such people, I will only feel satisfied after killing them for seven days and seven nights."
"Fei Zhong, how dare you!"
Gu Zhengyang's eyeballs were like burning crystal bombs that could explode at any moment.
Fei Zhong and Ma Ku looked at each other and grinned.
"As a matter of fact, neither Ma Ku nor I are bloodthirsty people. Otherwise, our leader wouldn't have sent us to talk to you."
The fat on Fei Zhong's face shivered, as if he were winking. He said unhurriedly, "Right now, you have only two choices. The first is to cooperate with us voluntarily and give the position of the village leader to Zhao Lie. Then, you will maintain the order of the village together with Zhao Lie. You will summon a thousand strong men and make them work with us willingly and happily. It will be good for everybody. It will save us a lot of trouble, and it will mean that a catastrophe will be avoided for you. You will be able to reap tremendous trophies, too!
"Otherwise, we'll have to start a massacre and kill all the uncles and elders in your village, including you, the village head. Then, I'll have to suffer a little and kill your daughter and disciple for five to seven days. I believe that before the last day, they'll definitely think of a way to persuade the rest of the villagers.
"Gu Zhengyang, you have always been a smart man. You did not keep the Village of Peace safe for twenty years next to Double Dragons Valley only because of your half-baked 'Sky Breaking Hammers'. So, what are you going to choose right now?"
All the bandits of the Red Fire Gang grinned hideously as if nobody were around, as if the villagers on their opposite side, who were armed to the teeth, were all turtles in a jar.
"Leader?"
"Leader!"
Sensing the killing intent that was almost tangible from the tough bandits and realizing the gap between them and them, all the villagers shuddered beyond their control.
"Master, don't — don't bother about me. I will be killed at best!" Han Te screamed under Fei Zhong's feet.
"Dad, we — we are not scared of anything!" Coloured Glaze gritted her teeth and said while Ma Ku and Fei Zhong were smiling.
"You two little fools."
Fei Zhong continued smiling. "There are a million things that are even more dreadful than death in the Land of Sins. When you see them for yourself, you will know what 'fear' is."
"Enough, Fei Zhong!"
Struggle, hesitation, and hesitation beamed out of Gu Zhengyang's face. Several colors were colliding on his face, as if several messy armies were fighting. In the end, his face became gray and haggard. He said helplessly, "Do whatever you want!"
"That's right."
Fei Zhong had foreseen that Gu Zhengyang would yield. After all, he was just an insignificant leader in a Desolate World after all. He made a gesture lazily, hinting for Zhao Lie to take over the command of the Village of Peace.
But out of his expectation, Gu Zhengyang took another step forward and stood before Zhao Lie.
"Huh?"
Fei Zhong raised his eyebrow in dissatisfaction. It was perhaps the only distinguishable organ on his face.
"I'm not done yet."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Zhengyang stared at Zhao Lie, Fei Zhong, and Ma Ku and said, one word after another, "Step over my dead body, and then you can do whatever you want!"
"Master!"
"Dad!"
"Leader!"
Han Te, the Coloured Glaze, and the other villagers all jumped to their feet. They all sensed that Gu Zhengyang's fire of life was burning furiously like a candle that was burning without caring about anything.
Surprise and confusion beamed out of Fei Zhong's eyes. He scratched his ears with his fat, short fingers and asked, "What did you say?"
Ma Ku swallowed hard, with dim brilliance beaming out of his eyes. "Good. You have guts. As it happens, I haven't killed anyone today. You are worth killing!"
Staring at Gu Zhengyang for a while, the confusion in Zhao Lie's eyes gradually turned into shame. He did not even have the courage to look at Gu Zhengyang in the eyes. He sighed and said, "Leader, why are you asking to be killed? You can't change anything or save anyone by pretending to be a hero!"
"Yes. It was not until today that I realized how hilarious I was in the past."
Gu Zhengyang smiled bitterly. "You are the one who was right, Zhao Lie. I should've listened to you instead of struggling for decades and persisting in the meaningless things that could not change anything or save anyone!"
Zhao Lie narrowed his eyes. "In that case, why are you standing in front of me? You — you don't have to die. Why? "
"Perhaps …"
Gu Zhengyang smiled miserably and slowly opened his arms, protecting everyone behind him. But his eyes drifted to the most distant place and the most beautiful future. "I am also a hopeless idiot who stupidly expects that the Gold Barley can be paved all over the Land of Sins!"
"I don't know what kind of nonsense you are talking about."
Ma Ku pushed Zhao Lie away and grinned hideously at Gu Zhengyang with his mouth full of sharp teeth. "Mountain Breaking Hammer, is it? Die! "
Right when six flames of light surged out of Ma Ku's arms and formed three unstoppable blades of light on his left and right fists respectively, he raised them high and locked onto Gu Zhengyang's carotid artery. Deafening explosions echoed outside.
The crystal bombs buried deep at the bottom of the lake raised surging undercurrents that crashed into the bottom of the iron-shelled warship, making it shake uncontrollably. Everybody was swaying left and right.
Then, a series of explosions that were even more intense echoed further away.
The aftermath of the explosion caused the lights in the command cabin to flicker and flicker.
Before Gu Zhengyang and the villagers realized what was going on, Ma Ku and Fei Zhong, the two bandits, sensed danger from the subtle changes in the air at the same time.
Looking at each other, Ma Ku hinted at Fei Zhong. The latter left the command cabin in a hurry with a couple of bandits and went to the deck to investigate.
Then, they never returned.
Not only did they not return, even the communication channel had been cut off. They felt that they had fallen into a black hole, and they could not sense anything at all.
The few sentries deployed on the deck had vanished into thin air, too. There were only scratching sounds echoing in the communication channel. There was no sign of them at all.
Ma Ku, the unparalleled bandit who made everybody sweat a moment ago, was finally soaked in cold sweat himself.
"Old fart!"
Ma Ku raised his voice, and his face turned even more hideous. But the more hideous he was, the more he could not hide the fear deep inside his eyes. "What tricks are you playing outside?"
Gu Zhengyang and the villagers were dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on at all.
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze, however, secretly looked at each other and vaguely realized that the anomaly outside might have something to do with 'Grandpa Yao'.
Observing their faces, Ma Ku realized that the villagers did not know anything. Also, under the suppression of the Red Fire Gang, they did not have the slightest intention to resist. He sniffed and asked Zhao Lie to disarm them. Then, he said, "Stay here and watch. If anyone dares to act recklessly, kill everybody in the command cabin immediately!"
Then, he returned to the deck with a few trusted subordinates.
Then, just like Fei Zhong, he never came back.
Zhao Lie and the rest of the bandits were caught in the most awkward situation.
The bandits and the villagers stared at each other. As time went by, all the explosions outside were almost gone. The weird silence gradually reversed their aura.
"Dad …"
Zhao Chong was swallowing hard.
Zhao Lie rolled his eyes again and again. Suddenly, he said, "Leader, tie everybody else up. You will take Han Te and the Coloured Glaze with me and check the outside!"
"Huh?"
