“Take this blade!”
The razor-sharp Tang Hengdao spun deftly in Yang Ming’s hand.
Immediately afterward, like a dragonfly skimming the water, Yang Ming swept his blade across and effortlessly cut through the weapon in the Dongying Person’s hand.
“Who are you?! Where did you come from?” The Dongying Person was shocked and retreated three steps in succession.
With just one move, the two dongying people sensed how terrifying Yang Ming was.
The weapons in their hands were all fine grade and could normally cut through metal like mud, yet Yang Ming had severed them without the slightest effort.
Looking at them, intense disgust flashed in Yang Ming’s eyes. He said coldly:
“Hah, you’re not worthy of knowing my name.”
Having been looked down upon by Yang Ming, the Dongying Person was furious. He said viciously:
“I admit that you’re strong, but both of us have awakened B-grade talents. Besides, our army has already surrounded this place. Do you really think you can oppose us alone?”
“Enough nonsense. Come and fight me.” Yang Ming carried his blade and strode toward the Dongying Person.
The two dongying people exchanged a glance and spoke in unison, as if they had already reached an agreement:
“Attack together and kill him!”
With that, the auras of the two dongying people suddenly changed.
One of the dongying people’s muscles swelled dramatically, his body tripled in size, and countless hairs sprouted across his body. Two fangs protruded from his mouth, while his nails became incredibly sharp.
He transformed into a tall and vicious werewolf!
After successfully transforming, his combat power Value surged from 78 points to 129 points.
“Awooo!”
After transforming into a werewolf, he let out a furious roar and lunged madly at Yang Ming.
“That’s it? You dare challenge me?” Yang Ming looked at him contemptuously.
Yang Ming raised the Tang Hengdao. An afterimage flashed beneath his feet, and he passed the dongying lord who had transformed into a werewolf at astonishing speed.
“Swish!”
Blood sprayed in all directions, and a head with its eyes wide open was sliced clean off and sent flying.
Then, with a heavy thud, the dongying lord who had transformed into a werewolf toppled stiffly to the ground.
The sight left the other Dongying Person dumbfounded.
He had been preparing to attack, only to witness Yang Ming behead his companion with a single slash.
Every hair on his body stood on end as a terror that struck directly at his soul seized him.
“Next, it’s your turn to die.” Yang Ming turned around and looked coldly at the other Dongying Person.
Looking at Yang Ming, who seemed like the god of death descending upon him, the Dongying Person’s legs trembled violently. His face paled as he begged for mercy:
“D-don’t kill me.”
Yang Ming said nothing. Instead, he silently raised the Tang Hengdao in his hand.
At that moment, a frigid killing intent spread throughout the Dongying Person’s body.
The Dongying Person trembled all over, as if standing at the edge of an abyss. In the end, he fell to his knees and said in panic:
“No, please, don’t kill me! Yamete, yamete, iku iku yamete! I have a master-servant contract. As long as you spare me, I’m willing to sign a master-servant contract with you!”
After saying this, the Dongying Person hurriedly pulled a parchment scroll from his robes and offered it with both hands.
“Hmm? A master-servant contract?” Yang Ming instinctively glanced at the parchment scroll in the Dongying Person’s hands.
【Name】: master-servant contract.
【Quality】: fine grade.
【Description】: After both parties voluntarily sign the contract, Party A can command Party B unconditionally, while Party B must obey Party A unconditionally. Furthermore, if Party A dies, Party B will die as well.
Yang Ming had not expected this Dongying Person to possess such an item.
This made it clear that they had made thorough preparations to attack Zhang Wei’s territory.
Yang Ming bent down and reached for the parchment scroll in the Dongying Person’s hands.
But just then, a pale, cold light suddenly flashed.
“Damn Huaxia Person, I’m going to kill you! Shine!”
Beneath the parchment scroll was a sharp dagger.
At the moment Yang Ming bent down, the Dongying Person drew the dagger hidden beneath the scroll and thrust it straight toward Yang Ming’s heart.
“Look out!” Zhang Wei called out a warning from nearby.
But the timing of the Dongying Person’s ambush had been perfect. He struck precisely when Yang Ming took hold of the parchment scroll, and the two were extremely close.
“Hahahaha, die!” Before anyone could react, the Dongying Person had already brought the dagger close to Yang Ming’s skin.
“Clang!”
However, the dagger failed to pierce Yang Ming’s heart as intended and was instead blocked by the Tang Hengdao.
Yang Ming looked down at him and mocked:
“Did you really think I’d be unprepared? I saw through you people long ago—a race that knows only despicable tricks and has no bottom line.”
After saying that, Yang Ming showed no mercy and cut off his head with a single slash.
Standing to the side, Zhang Wei found it utterly unbelievable.
Who was this man? He had actually killed two dongying people without the slightest effort.
Just one minute earlier, Zhang Wei had already prepared himself for death. Who could have known that a fierce expert would suddenly appear and save him?
These two dongying people were both outstanding individuals who had awakened B-grade talents.
Zhang Wei limped over and said to Yang Ming with immense gratitude:
“Brother, thank you very much for saving my life.”
Yang Ming glanced at him and said with a faint smile:
“I saw the distress message you sent in the chat channel, so I came rushing over.”
Zhang Wei bowed slightly and said earnestly:
“You saved my life. Besides the previously agreed-upon payment—the Snakebone Fish and Red Fire Spear Forging Blueprint—I’ll repay this debt of gratitude again in the future. By the way, can you tell me your name?”
Yang Ming smiled and said:
“My name is Yang Ming. We traded once before—the Tang Hengdao Forging Blueprint.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei froze for a moment. Then excitement appeared on his face, and he said with overwhelming enthusiasm:
“Big shot, it’s you! Holy crap, what a coincidence! Selling you the Tang Hengdao Forging Blueprint was truly the most correct decision I’ve ever made in my life.”
After learning each other’s identities, the two became much more familiar with each other.
“Big shot, this is the payment I promised earlier: the Snakebone Fish and the Red Fire Spear Forging Blueprint.”
Zhang Wei opened the system interface and sent the two items to Yang Ming.
At the same time, Zhang Wei patted his chest and promised:
“Big shot, if you ever lack any resources, come to me. I’m not very good at fighting, but I’m quite skilled at finding resources.”
Yang Ming asked curiously:
“Could it be that you awakened an A-grade talent?”
Zhang Wei shook his head and told him honestly:
“I awakened two B-grade talents. One is luck amplification, which greatly increases my luck. The other is Occasional Double Drops, which gives me a certain chance of obtaining two sets of rewards.”
Yang Ming was surprised. He had not expected Zhang Wei to have awakened two talents. No wonder his luck was so good and he had more resources than he could use.
Yang Ming pondered for a moment, then tried asking:
“I see that your territory is built quite well. Do you have a Town Construction blueprint?”
Yang Ming discovered that Zhang Wei’s territory construction was far better than his own. The various buildings were arranged in perfect order, faintly resembling the beginnings of a great city.
Zhang Wei shook his head and said:
“No, I arranged everything myself. In the real world, I’m a first-year graduate student at Wudaokou University, majoring in finance, management, and psychology, while also studying civil engineering and mechanical and electrical engineering. So this kind of infrastructure isn’t difficult for me.”
Yang Ming was shocked. He looked Zhang Wei up and down before asking doubtfully:
“But you look even younger than me. You’re already a first-year graduate student?”
“Yes, I’m eighteen. My birthday is in December.” Zhang Wei nodded.
“That’s incredible!” Yang Ming gave him a thumbs-up. He was already a first-year graduate student at eighteen—an absolute genius. No wonder he had awakened two talents.
“If you need a city Construction blueprint, I can draw one for you, but it will take a little time,” Zhang Wei said.
“All right. Send it to me directly through the friend system when it’s ready.” Yang Ming nodded.
“Mm.”
Afterward, the two chatted for a while longer before Yang Ming took his leave.
Now that he had obtained the Snakebone Fish, Yang Ming could not wait to return to Jade Spirit Lake and occupy the Spirit Lake.
Jade Spirit Lake was a level-three resource field!
As long as he could occupy it, it would continuously produce large excellent grade fish in the future.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming grew extremely excited and unconsciously quickened his pace.
