I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

"But the guy who defeated Gard seems to have black hair. Could it be that there is more than one ridiculously strong newcomer here in Wuming?"

The intruders were discussing in low voices, and there was no hostility in their eyes. After Cheng Rang realized this, he took the initiative to stand up, "The person you are talking about should be me."

Izayoi glanced at Cheng Rang who was walking up, then looked at the people in front of him again, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Oh, could it be that they are

Came here to ask for an explanation from the leader?It looks very different from that tiger. "

The intruders in front of them all had characteristics that were not human, but generally they were not very good-looking, and it was unclear whether they were disabled or not, so they were no match for passers-by in HL.

"We are people with the gift of the beast race, but because the level of the gift is low, we can only make such half-hearted changes." I could hear the mocking tone in Izayoi's mouth, but these people did not show any anger, but He bowed his head and said: "We came here this time not to offend you, but to implore you to completely destroy me... no, completely destroy the guild 'Fres Gallo' under the Demon King! "

"It's so boring."

Shiliuye took a step back, pushed Cheng Rang to the front, and said, "Hey, you are tomorrow's contestant. Facing these people, what do you think?"

Chapter 37 I really have you

"idea?"

Izayoi first clearly expressed his disdain for their actions, and then threw the question to himself. The intention was obvious, to test whether he had a clear mind besides his strength.

Two days ago in the tavern, many people witnessed Gard Gaspar's own confession of his heinous actions. Presumably, after the incident fermented, most of the controlled members in the entire Fres Gallo began to fall apart. .

However, such a group of people came to ask him to completely destroy Garde's guild when the gift game was about to take place tomorrow, which was obviously unnecessary.

unless....

Cheng Rang crossed his arms and said in a deep voice, "It's too embarrassing to come here to make amends with a hypocritical face now."

"Varied..."

"After knowing that the children who were captured by you from other guilds were killed by Gard immediately, you can naturally guess that the chips he used to threaten your actions no longer exist." Cheng Rang interrupted The other party wanted to justify something, and then said, "Do you feel remorse for your stupid behavior? Do you feel unfair about your own weakness? You don't have the courage to find out the truth, you can only be led by the nose and even have no resistance resentment at the cowardice of intention?"

Cheng Rang's questioning in front of him was deafening. The intruders all clenched their teeth and were speechless. Their fists under the cloak were clenched tightly, and veins even popped out of their arms.

Cheng Rang then waved his hand vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Of course! You can use that you are too weak to resist Gard and the others as an excuse, and run over with peace of mind to grab our life-saving straw. After we defeated Gal De later used the same reason to comfort himself that the matter is over, someone avenged the death of his companion, if we fail, you can also use other excuses to say that Gard is too strong to resist and can only continue to live like this. ...Under the watchful eyes of the ghosts of the dead companions, under the murderer's majesty, continue to be a lost dog crawling in the rotten mud."

"Enough!" One of them seemed to no longer want to listen to Cheng Rang's humiliating speech, and lifted his hood and said, "How can you, who has such a powerful gift, understand our pain? No matter what Gard said He is also a subordinate of the Demon King, and his gifts and abilities are far superior to ours, even if we challenge him to fight, it is impossible to win! Even if we can win, we will be targeted by the Demon King!"

"Heh... a powerful gift? Does this mean that if you have a powerful gift, will you resist it?"

"...Damn, of course!" The man retorted without confidence.

Cheng Rang turned his head to the side and looked at Shizaiye who was staring at him with interest, then took off the long knife at his waist and threw it in front of the man who answered.

"Then prove it to me." Under the amazed gaze of everyone, Cheng Rang said slowly: "Beat me, the powerful gift you speak of is yours... If you have the ability to bear this If you have the air."

The smooth white scabbard seems to contain a suffocating sense of sharpness. It looks like an ordinary long knife, but it seems to have the power to turn decay into magic, lying quietly on the ground in front of you .

Rodney, the man standing in front of Cheng Rang, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, bent down and grabbed the knife that Cheng Rang threw on the ground.

Holding the handle of the knife and lifting it slightly, the mirror-smooth blade broke through the barrier of the scabbard, presenting the curved blade exuding the ultimate aesthetics of cold weapons.

Rodney, who was holding the long knife, turned ruthless, and yelled at Cheng Rang, who was standing calmly in front of him, and slashed down hard.

"Don't underestimate me, you bastard!"

As the tip of the knife drew a semicircle in mid-air, the sharp blade quickly approached Cheng Rang, who had no intention of dodging in front of him, and Rodney could even feel the fine sweat oozing from his hands being caressed by the air displaced by the blade. Come cool.

But in the next second, just when Rodney felt that the man in front of him would be split in half by this swing of a knife, a clearer picture and premonition came like a tide.

Both arms were chopped off by the roots, the heart was pierced by countless sharp blades, the throat was cut, and the blood sprayed out magnificently like fireworks, staining the soil around him with a dazzling scarlet.

will die!

Before the blade in his hand takes the life of the man in front of him, he will die!

Such a clear sense of fear and images flashed in his mind in an instant, Rhodes

The falling blade in Ni's hand suddenly stopped a few centimeters above Cheng Rang's forehead amidst the exclamations of Black Rabbit and others.

His whole body stiffened uncontrollably, and Rodney, who felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, could not move the blade forward even one millimeter even with all his strength.

Cut.....can't cut down...how is it possible? !

Rodney stopped still like a statue, holding the long knife that was about to fall on Cheng Rang's head, motionless.

"What are you shaking? I even threw the weapon at you."

Such words came from Cheng Rang's mouth, causing Rodney's heart to tremble violently. The hands holding the handle of the knife unconsciously lost strength, and the white long knife that was released from his hand flickered, and the scabbard on the ground returned. Cheng Rang's waist.

Rodney stared blankly at his uncontrollably trembling hands and asked, "Just now... what was that?"

The sense of reality, as if he had personally experienced multiple ways of death, was so strong that he wanted to turn around and run away immediately.

"That's your fear of your own weakness." Cheng Rang said.

"Admit it, what you are afraid of is not the strength of the enemy, but your own weakness. You can't even swing a knife at me, an unarmed guy, so even if you are given a powerful gift that can rival the devil king, you will have to face it. Does the Demon King raise the courage to rebel against the flag?"

Following the long silence of the men, Cheng Rang changed his posture and pulled Ren who was beside him over: "So you are not even as good as a child!"

"Eh? What's wrong with me?" Ren, who suddenly became the center of the topic, was full of puzzlement.

Cheng Rang grinned, patted Ren's shoulder hard, and introduced to the men in front of him: "Look at it, this young man's name is Ren Russell. He is the leader of our NoName. The reason why we become Noname is Because we are being targeted by the demon king that you call a 'natural disaster'."

"But! Even though everything was taken away and destroyed by the devil, they didn't back down, even though most of the members couldn't even use their gifts, even though there was only despair in the long road ahead, and they didn't even have a name or a banner, they still didn't give up ! Instead, they set the goal of defeating the 'devil king' and taking back the glory and companions that once belonged to them from the hands of the devil king!"

"what?!"

The men in front of him were all shocked by the news, Cheng Rang pressed Ren's movements to break free from his control, and continued: "As an 'unnamed' person, raise the horn of resistance to the devil, and protect all guilds from the devil, As well as the threat of its guild, although this seems to you to be a whimsical and overreaching behavior, at least he has the courage that none of you present have ever had!"

"Ooooooh—!"

This incomparably passionate speech caused all the invaders to admire as if they saw hope, and there was a lot of applause.

"Alright, it's getting late. When we go back, we will pass this news to the other guilds and tell them that we, Ren Russell, will defeat the 'Devil King'!"

"We understand... Please do your best, Master Ren!"

"Huh? Wait, wait a minute...!"

Before Jin could call out the exit, the intruders disappeared in an instant.At this moment, Ren, who was finally free, his legs went limp, and he sat on the ground slumped. Hei Tu, whose eyes were wide open and speechless, was equally surprised.

And Shiliuye smiled heartily, and said, "As expected of the guy I agree with, Cheng Rang, you really belong to me!"

Chapter 38 Plan to Fame

After that, Ren brought Cheng Rang and Shiliuye to the lobby on the highest floor of the headquarters, and asked with a puzzled look: "What are you thinking?!"

"Down with all the demon kings and related personnel, and find Ren Russell if you have any trouble... how about using this slogan?" Izayoi said looking out the window at the fiery red sunset that was about to set on the horizon.

Cheng Rang nodded: "Well, yes, the gimmicks and effects can attract attention, and there will be quite a stir here."

"Please don't be joking!" Ren seemed angry at the two ignoring him, "If this kind of declaration spreads and is targeted by the devil, everyone in the guild will be in crisis. You have seen the entrance You should already understand the cruel scene, right?!"

"Of course, wouldn't it be super refreshing to fight against someone with such an interesting power?" Izayoi was not afraid at all.

Ren clenched his fists and turned his gaze to Cheng Rang on the other side: "Shiliuye intends to drive the guild to a dead end for his own interest, but I didn't expect Cheng Rang to plan to do something like this."

"This is not random behavior." Cheng Rang said, "Have you forgotten? At the beginning, you said you needed capable partners like us to join NoName, and I also said it in advance. The only thing I can't accept is being the leader. , there is no awareness of trusting partners, relying on partners and never giving up.”

"But even if I trust you as partners, it doesn't mean that you can unscrupulously use my name to provoke all the devil kings."

"Ah~~" Cheng Rang exaggeratedly supported his forehead and sighed, as if he was a little speechless about Ren's little head.

Sixteen nights at the side said: "I said, what did you and the black rabbit call us here for? Are you going to play house with you?"

"Of course not. The original intention was to steadily win the gift competition, slowly become stronger, and summon more people.

Many companions will grow stronger, and then..."

"And then be destroyed by the Demon King?"

"This...."

"It's really useless. Are you trying to rebuild the guild based on such empty talk? Not to mention whether you still remember to take back the glory from the Demon King. I'm really disappointed, kid."

The ruthless words of Shiliuye seemed to have dealt a big blow to Ren. Seeing him bow his head and fell silent, Cheng Rang chose to be a peacemaker to ease the tense atmosphere. After all, Ren, a young leader, has not yet Just understand the operation of myself and Izayoi.

Cheng Rang said: "Ren, you'd better think about what is indispensable to make the guild stronger. Is it illusory fame? Or countless money? Or a handsome banner or a spacious territory?"

"No, neither..."

Cheng Rang shook his head and vetoed, and then said: "It's a human being, a person with powerful gifts."

"And those gifters who make a living on their own talents naturally hope to join a well-known guild. Do you think that if we want to be strong enough to raise the banner against the devil, we need to develop for a few days, months, or years according to your method. ?”

"..." Ren suddenly opened his eyes wide, "You mean..."

"Yes, we don't have a name, we don't have a flag, and we don't even have a symbol of the existence of a guild community. Since this is the case, we can only rely on word of mouth to develop. You know that provocations like that may arouse the demon king's anger." Be careful, but on the other hand, it will also attract people who have the same ambition of "defeating the devil"."

"My intention of provoking the largest guild in the Eastern District is also the same, but that alone is not enough, and it lacks the impact of inciting rumors to spread. Therefore, Ren Russell, a boy holding high the banner of defeating the devil, stepped forward— —As long as there is even one glorious victory, the storm will surely surge!"

When the people in the East District were mourning for the tyrannical rule of Fres Gallo, a little-known guild suddenly stood up and defeated it, and it will surely gain the support and love of everyone—as the saying goes What the people want, what everyone expects.

A concrete plan that Ren had never imagined is now being slowly unfolded by Cheng Rang holding a scroll in his hand.

"Use my name to promote the existence of the guild..."

"That's right. This incident is an opportunity. The opponent is the guild under the Demon King, and it will definitely win the game. And the victims are many weak and small guilds. As long as we take this opportunity to promote our name, then [-] In the guild near the outer gate of [-], there will be the first waves."

And after that, as long as you help the guilds tortured by the guild under the Demon King, this wave will gradually expand in the dark, until it grows into a monstrous wave, shaking the entire Little Garden.

At this time, Izayoi Jianren finally opened his eyes, and the corner of his mouth put on his unruly smile again: "Of course, the possibility of attracting other demon kings that your Excellency is worried about is indeed very high, but there should be someone who can defeat the demon king." The precedent is correct, right?"

Black Rabbit also said that as long as you defeat the devil, you may establish a subordinate relationship with him. This is the proof of defeating the devil, and it is also an opportunity to pull powerful chess pieces into the organization.

"What the guild lacks most now is talent. I don't expect them to be as strong as Cheng Rang or me, but at least I hope they can find someone who can keep up with us. However, whether to accept or disagree is up to you, my lord. It’s a good plan, and I don’t hesitate to help.”

Cheng Rang smiled and said: "After all, you are the leader of NoName on the surface..."

Ren re-acquainted with the smiling two people in front of him, and the confusion and anger in his heart just now have long since disappeared.

The plan is very reasonable, but it is easy to agree, but we must not forget the huge risks that are equivalent to it.In order to allow himself to firmly embark on this path and keep up with the pace of the two, Ren set out conditions.

"I have a condition, can you participate in the gift competition hosted by Thousand Eyes?"

Cheng Rang and Shiliuye looked at each other, and said in unison: "What's the reason?"

"In this game, there will be another important existence that we must regain."

For a guild, a treasure comparable to a name and a banner——

"Could it be a partner from the past?"

"Yes, and no ordinary partner."

Ren's gaze was firm, he took a deep breath, looked at the two of them, and said slowly, "It's the original Demon King."

The original devil? !

Hearing these three words, brilliance appeared in Izayoi's eyes, and the unruly smile on his mouth also took on a somewhat terrifying meaning, and his whole body exuded a dangerous aura.

"Oh? Your Excellency the former Demon King turned out to be a partner from the past, so there are a lot of things that this person represents?"

Ren nodded: "Yes, as you have noticed, the previous guild had experience in defeating the devil."

"So, there was even a being in NoName who could destroy the devil?" Cheng Rang narrowed his eyes.

Izayo excitedly said: "Ha, are they guys who can be called 'ultra' demon kings? This Hakoniwa is full of wonders!"

"There is no such title... Demon kings also have power relations, and they are different. Shiroyasha-sama also has the authority of the sponsor, but he has not been called the demon king for many years. After all, the demon king refers to the person who abuses the authority of the host." Ren replied.

"Organizer Permissions" itself

, is just one of the devices that makes the small garden more lively.And what Ren said is that only those who misuse it will be called "Demon Lords".

"The one who hosted the competition was one of the Thousand Eyes cadres. He must have made some kind of deal with the demon king we defeated and obtained the ownership of our partners. Because the other party is a business guild, all it takes is money..."

Cheng Rang scratched his head: "It's really hard to move an inch without money. In short, as long as you take back the original Demon King, right?"

"Yes, as long as we can do this, we can prepare to deal with the devil king, and I will support your plan, but this must be kept secret from the black rabbit..."

"That's why you only brought the two of us here, okay." Sixteen nights nodded in agreement.

After the discussion, when everyone was about to return to their room, Cheng Rang, who stood up from the sofa, suddenly remembered that he wanted to solve the problem of heating hot water in the bathroom at first, so he slapped his head and asked Izayo beside him:

"By the way, Izayoi."

"what happened?"
