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

Chapter 235 I am the Shadow Blade

The two men were arrogant and strode with their heads held high since they set foot on this land, as if they were the masters of this place.

They ignored Cao Geng's presence and went up to the second floor surrounded by the crowd.

Cao Geng continued to eat slowly, paying no attention to them, but he had already thought of a strategy to deal with the two of them in his mind.

Finally, Cao Geng had enough to eat and drink, and his plan was ready.

He beckoned over a beautiful foreign woman, handed her two bills, and said with a smile, "This is a tip for you."

The woman was immediately delighted and was pleasantly surprised by the major's generosity.

Cao Geng asked: "Can you tell me which secret realm Major General Tian and Colonel Ishiguro have entered? I want to pay them a visit."

The exotic elf woman chuckled when she heard this, it turned out to be another adventurer looking to make friends.

Since it was no secret, she whispered, "In the Fuji Secret Realm on the second floor. They enter there every time they come here."

Cao Geng smiled and nodded in thanks: "Thank you for letting me know!"

After saying this, Cao Geng stood up and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

Arriving at the second floor, a wide corridor stretches out, with hidden private rooms on both sides.

Outside a private room, three demon guards stood on each side.

There is no doubt that it must be the so-called secret place of Fuji.

Cao Geng went straight ahead according to the plan.

Walking up to the six demons, Cao Geng said, "My brave guards, I am Lieutenant Yamamoto. Please inform me that I have an urgent matter to discuss with Major General Tian."

As the saying goes, there are seven levels of officials in front of the powerful minister.

The major general's guards would naturally not be polite to the lieutenant, especially at this moment.

A guard whispered, "Asshole, what time is it? If you want to see General Tian, ​​you have to wait a while before coming back."

Cao Geng was silent. He understood why the guard said that. It was not to give him face.

In fact, Cao Geng had heard unspeakable sounds coming from the secret realm.

If this secret place had not been specially designed with excellent sound insulation, the sound would have already reached the street.

Cao Geng had no choice but to wait.

The guard saw this and became furious: "Asshole, what are you still doing there?"

Cao Geng responded: “Waiting!”

How could this person be so unreasonable? How could he listen here at this moment? The guard was immediately furious.

"Asshole, why don't you wait somewhere else?"

Cao Geng was also furious: "You can listen, why can't I?"

Click...

The guards looked Cao Geng up and down, really puzzled as to how he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant.

"Get out of here right now, you bastard!"

Cao Geng was indignant: "Who do you think you are? I am a lieutenant, and you are the one who should leave!"

"Asshole..."

Several guards immediately reached for the weapon holsters on their waists, and the leading guard angrily drew out his sword and pointed it directly at Cao Geng's forehead.

However, in a flash, the sword fell into Cao Geng's hand. He quickly released the safety device and put the tip of the sword against the opponent's forehead.

"Asshole, you are so brave that you dare to draw your sword in front of me? Who are you? Ah..."

After Cao Geng finished speaking, he slapped him twice without hesitation.

The commotion caused by Cao Geng was quite big and the guards were terrified.

Logically, they shouldn't have acted this way. If the general hadn't been involved, they would have been bullying others by taking advantage of their power.

When they were outside, even if Cao Geng started to teach them a lesson, they would not dare to utter a word of resistance.

Most importantly, who is this lieutenant? How dare he be so presumptuous knowing that the general is inside...

At this time, a dissatisfied whisper came from inside the house: "Evil demons retreat, what is happening outside?"

Cao Geng responded, "General Tanaka, I am Lieutenant Colonel Miyamoto, and I am here on the orders of General Shinozuka Yoshio. The situation is urgent. Your guards do not know the etiquette, so I have to give them a brief lecture."

Ok?

As soon as Cao Geng finished speaking, the six guards outside the door were all stunned.

"Wouldn't it have saved us a lot of trouble if we had told you earlier that you were under Lord Miyamoto's command? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

Upon hearing this, General Tanaka in the room hurriedly ordered the four women in gorgeous clothes: "Get out, all of you get out..."

The four women hurriedly gathered their clothes and left the room.

General Tanaka and Colonel Ishikawa beside him also finished getting ready, and then they spoke: "Ono, let him in!"

Cao Geng returned the magic wand in his hand to the man named Daye and patted him gently on the cheek.

"Be more alert next time! Don't be like a stupid bear. How can you be a good guard?"

The guards were immediately intimidated by Cao Geng's majesty and dared not utter a word.

Cao Geng then walked into the room and closed the door gently.

At this moment, Major General Tanaka and Colonel Ishikawa were already dressed neatly and kneeling on the ground respectfully.

Cao Geng pretended to be serious, came to the table and sat down next to the two of them.

General Tanaka looked at Cao Geng and asked in confusion, "Were you sent by General Shinozuka?"

Cao Geng nodded naturally and replied: "Our General Miyamoto asked me to ask General Tanaka whether you secretly arrested an assassin the day before yesterday but did not report it."

General Tanaka became nervous upon hearing this and quickly retorted: "No, where did this come from? Who is spreading rumors?"

This matter is of great importance. If he, as a major general, privately detains the assassin without reporting it, he might be in trouble.

Cao Geng sneered, "Denial? My general expected you to do so. He asked me to ask you, who captured the assassin yesterday?"

General Tanaka looked confused upon hearing this.

"Did someone catch the assassin yesterday? I really had no idea about this!"

After hearing this, Cao Geng finally felt relieved.

He said, "Well, since you all don't admit it, I will go back and report to my general."

Cao Geng stood up and prepared to leave.

However, just as he was about to turn around, the colonel next to him spoke.

"Lieutenant Colonel, please stay. Who are you? Why have we never seen you before?"

Indeed, how could they tolerate Cao Geng questioning them so arrogantly?

In the past, perhaps they would have swallowed their anger, but now Yoshio Shinozuka is about to step down. In other words, he has lost power.

However, Cao Geng still showed off his power under his name and picked trouble with them, but they would not sit idly by.

Cao Geng stopped, squatted down slowly, and said: "Want to know my identity? Easy! I am the assassin you are looking for."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Geng had already attacked them both, hitting their acupuncture points...

The two creatures instantly collapsed, leaning against the magic slab. They wanted to say something but stopped, and could only squeeze out a weak breath.

In an instant, their faces were filled with fear.

"It's over. I actually met a mysterious strong man today."

Cao Geng smiled and whispered into the colonel's ear: "Colonel Ishiguro, I originally planned to leave quietly and not get involved with you, but you insisted on stirring up trouble and wanted to know who I am. Now, I confess that I am the rumored shadow assassin. However, the price of knowing this secret is death."

The colonel's face showed even more fear. He tried his best to break free, but couldn't move at all.

Cao Geng was satisfied when he saw his frightened look, so he did not kill him.

He enjoyed seeing these visitors from other worlds with such expressions, just to scare them and make them tremble.

Cao Geng turned to look at Major General Xiaotian and whispered, "General Xiaotian, please tell me the truth now, did you really catch the assassin yesterday?"

"You have admitted that you are the assassin, yet you are still standing here, asking us if we have caught him. Aren't you deliberately teasing us, you damned fellow?"

General Oda struggled hard and really wanted to spit at Cao Geng, but he was unable to complete even this tiny action.

He kept his lips tightly shut and refused to respond to any of Cao Geng's questions.

"Heh, you really are a general, you have a tough mouth."

As Cao Geng spoke, he grabbed the colonel's throat and lifted him up like a baby bird, slowly increasing the strength of his fingers and gradually building up the pressure.

An expression of pain immediately appeared on Colonel Ishiguro's face, but he was still powerless to resist.

General Oda's face became more and more panicked. He was so frightened that he never spoke a word.

Finally, only a crisp sound was heard.

Colonel Ishiguro's head instantly tilted to one side and fell silent.

Cao Geng carefully adjusted his posture so that he could sit there comfortably.

Then, Cao Geng walked up to General Xiaotian and warned him softly: "General Xiaotian, if you don't tell the truth, you will be the next one."

Cao Geng's fingers gently wrapped around his neck.

General Oda was so frightened that he begged for mercy: "We didn't catch the assassin yesterday, really. Don't kill me, spare me!"

Cao Geng chuckled: "I'm sorry, if Colonel Ishiguro hadn't stopped me, nothing would have happened. But since he stopped me and knew my identity, I must get rid of you regardless of whether you tell me or not. If you feel resentful, go blame Colonel Ishiguro, he's waiting for you down there."

As soon as Cao Geng finished speaking, his fingers tightened, and there was another click, and the major general from another world also passed away sadly.

Cao Geng straightened him up again and let him sit down against the table.

Well, I didn’t eat enough just now, have some more.

Cao Geng ate a few more bites and saw that the two men were still sitting still.

Finally, Cao Geng stood up, pushed open the magic door, and stepped into the world outside.

The guard even looked inside the room...

Cao Geng closed the magic barrier and said in a deep voice: "General Tyne has instructed that he and Archmage Graphite are having a crucial secret meeting and no one is allowed to disturb them. Did you hear that clearly? You are an incompetent guard who cannot even perform the most basic duties. If it were not for General Tyne's kindness, I would let you know what true punishment is today, you fool."

The guard stood there with his head lowered, saying nothing.

There was nothing he could do. Even in the kingdom of Azeria, which values ​​hierarchy, the hierarchy was extremely strict. The master behind him could not protect him. Facing this lieutenant, he, the guard, was like invisible air.

After Cao Geng finished cursing, he turned and left.

After walking just a dozen steps, the guard turned around and tried to knock on the door to report. Cao Geng noticed and turned back to give him a cold look, causing the guard to freeze in his place.

Cao Geng approached and slapped the guard hard on the face. "Stupid guy, didn't I tell you? How dare you ignore my warning? It's really... stupid..."

Cao Geng slapped the guard several times in a row, and the guard felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand. The guards around were all indignant when they saw this scene.

At this moment, the foreman of the sushi restaurant and two elf women happened to come over and witnessed this scene, which made them feel deeply ashamed. They were the general's guards!

A guard asked Cao Geng: "Sir, what do you want to do?"

Cao Geng glanced at them and replied, "Humph, it seems that you are dissatisfied with my use of military rank to suppress you. Well, I will give you a chance. Six of you will fight together. If you can defeat me, I will apologize to you today. If you lose to me, then you will have bad luck. Come on!"

This was simply too much. As warriors, they were good at fighting, but Cao Geng used this to provoke them. How could they tolerate it?

"Well, if we hurt you, you can't complain to the general."

"Okay, come on!"

After Cao Geng finished speaking, he moved as fast as the wind, clenched his fist, and pointed at the acupuncture points of the guard he slapped. The guard immediately collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, the other Japanese guards immediately swarmed towards Cao Geng, and one of them punched Cao Geng in the face. Cao Geng turned his head lightly to avoid the attack, and flicked his finger to hit the guard's acupuncture point, and he fell down.

The other four guards were horrified.

Cao Geng quickly explained: "Don't worry, they are just temporarily unable to move, I didn't hurt them."

The guards were relieved and rushed towards Cao Geng. Cao Geng's body shape changed, and his moves were as fast as lightning. After four consecutive strikes, the four Japanese guards instantly lost their ability to fight and fell to the ground one after another.

"Unbelievable..."

Cao Geng clapped his hands, walked past the manager of the sushi restaurant called "Rhythm of the Tide", and whispered: "The elves are fine, don't worry, they will regain their senses in a moment."

The administrator nodded hastily, awe gleaming in his eyes.

Cao Geng's smile was like a spring breeze blowing through the flowers. He gently embraced the two elf girls and said softly, "Come on, let's continue to enjoy the feast in the basement..."

"Ok!"

The administrator responded and hurriedly followed Cao Geng to the underground floor.

When they arrived at the underground level, Cao Geng took out a stack of gold coins sparkling with magical light and handed three to each person.

"Keep it, enjoy your meal today, this is your reward, I look forward to seeing you next time... Goodbye, may the light of magic illuminate your path..."

After saying that, Cao Geng quietly left. The administrator held the gold coin, feeling happy but vaguely uneasy, and immediately ran to the stairs.
