Turn the page, and you'll find yourself in another world.

Jin Lao Er stopped, his face flushed red, and he gripped the pickaxe handle so tightly it made a cracking sound.

Although they also have foreign cannons and more men, the third brother is now in their hands, and if they make a move, their own brothers will die first.

He glanced at Jin Laosan, who was pinned to the ground, then at Lu Yao, his teeth grinding together.

"Let him go, you fucking idiot!"

Lu Yao sneered and pressed the knife down further.

Blood seeped from Jin Laosan's neck and flowed down the cut.

His face turned pale, and he dared not move or speak.

Just then, a voice came from behind:

"Stop it, all of you."

The crowd parted, and Boss Jin walked up.

He was in his early teens, wearing a faded military overcoat, his face expressionless, his eyes fixed on Lu Yao.

"Let go of my third brother."

"That's what Boss Jin said."

Lu Yao looked at him: "I can let this piece of trash go, but do I even have the right to talk to you?"

Boss Jin nodded: "If you're qualified, I'll talk to you."

Lu Yao released his grip and stood up.

Jin Laosan got up, clutching his neck and backing away until he was behind Jin Laoda. His face was deathly pale and his hands were covered in blood.

Boss Jin looked at Lu Yao, then at the dagger in his hand:

"Where are you from?"

"From Jiangzhou, surnamed Lu."

Boss Jin nodded:

"How do you want to talk?"

Lu Yao put away his dagger: "Let's talk according to your tribe's rules. One-on-one, a duel. The loser gets that mountain. The winner, the people of Liudaogou are not allowed to cause trouble for Qidaogou again."

Boss Jin stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed:

Do you know what our tribe's rules are?

"I know," Lu Yao said. "We'll tie our left hands together, each holding a knife in our right, and fight. Whoever falls down first loses."

Kim the eldest was stunned for a moment, and Kim the second and third were also stunned.

Jin, the eldest brother, glanced back at his two brothers, then turned back to look at Lu Yao.

"You understand this?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me if you dare or not."

Lu Yao knew that he wouldn't be able to intimidate the other party without demonstrating some skill.

Because the opponent's strength far surpasses ours.

Tigers can only negotiate with lions, but they won't negotiate with goats.

Now, to Liudaogou, Qidaogou is like a goat; even if it were a wolf, they wouldn't negotiate peacefully.

They must be made aware that they have the power to harm them.

Lu Yao heard this rule from Xiao Shuanzi.

Later, I also witnessed a duel between members of their own tribe.

Lu Yao learned a lot of skills from it.

He even tried it himself once and killed his opponent.

This is a rule that most people wouldn't follow.

Because it will mostly result in both sides suffering losses.

Xiao Shuanzi lost an eye and a hand in this duel, but luckily he managed to cut off his opponent's head.

At this moment, Lu Yao made such an extreme provocation, leaving the Jin brothers somewhat bewildered.

However, the second son of the Jin family is a desperate criminal.

They completely looked down on the people Qidaogou brought in.

He took a step forward: "I'll fight you!"

Lu Yao shook his head: "I only fight those who have the final say. I'll fight him!"

As he spoke, he pointed at Boss Jin.

Boss Jin was silent for a moment.

The dozen or so people behind him were watching. He knew that if he didn't dare to accept the challenge, he would be a coward and his position would be in jeopardy.

Even now, many people say that the second child is more assertive than themselves!

At that moment, he gritted his teeth and reached his hand behind him.

Two knives were handed to them from behind. They were identical, each a foot long, with a slightly curved blade and a gleaming edge.

He then had someone untie a hemp rope belt from his waistband.

"Since you're looking for death, then I'll fight you."

With a fierce determination, Boss Jin tied one end of the rope to his wrist:

"If you win, from now on, the people of Liudaogou will never touch that mountain again, nor will we touch the people of Qidaogou. If you lose..."

He paused:

"I'll take your life."

Lu Yao nodded, said nothing more, and only uttered one word:

"OK."

Er Mangzi panicked and grabbed Lu Yao:

"Don't fight him! The rule is that the two of you are tied together; there's no way to dodge. A few stabs and you're dead!"

Lu Yao ignored him and took a step forward.

Boss Jin also came up.

The two stood facing each other, with Boss Jin extending his left hand, which was attached to a rope.

Lu Yao also extended his left hand.

People from Liudaogou came over and tied their wrists together tightly with hemp rope, wrapping it several times until it was completely bound.

Two knives were handed over.

Lu Yao caught it and weighed it in his hand.

Boss Jin also gripped the knife tightly in his hand.

The two separated a little, but with their left hands tied and only a foot-long rope in the middle, they couldn't pull themselves too far apart.

The hillside fell silent.

The wind howled, and no one spoke, not even daring to blink.

They were afraid that in the blink of an eye, one of them would have already fallen ill.

Both sides stepped back a few steps, leaving an open space.

Jin Laoda stared at Lu Yao, slowly bent down, and lowered his center of gravity.

He was a soldier; you can tell from his movements that he's steady and has a solid foundation.

Lu Yao didn't move; he just stood there.

Boss Jin suddenly moved.

He stabbed at me with a knife, fast and ruthless.

Lu Yao turned to the side, and at the same time swung his left wrist, pulling Jin Laoda's body to the side, the knife grazing past his cotton-padded coat.

Jin Laoda sheathed his knife and then swept it horizontally across Lu Yao's belly.

Lu Yao hunched his shoulders and pulled in his stomach as the knife tip slashed past his eyes.

Jin Laoda swung his knife straight at Lu Yao's left arm.

It's like grabbing the other person's arm, leaving them nowhere to hide.

But Lu Yao lunged forward, blocking his wood-chopping knife with his own, and at the same time, pushed him away.

His eyesight is incredibly fast.

The two men had their left hands tied, and their bodies had to turn in one direction.

Taking advantage of this, Boss Jin stabbed Lu Yao several times, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

The people in the back of Qidaogou were on tenterhooks.

At the foot of the hill, a small figure emerged from among the rocks.

It turned out that Zuo Xiaoying was worried at home and had secretly followed them.

Seeing Lu Yao fighting desperately with the others, he could no longer hold back. He rushed up the hillside, mingled with the crowd, his hands clenched tightly, his palms sweaty.

She dared not make a sound, for fear of disturbing Lu Yao.

She had already made up her mind: if Lu Yao was stabbed by the other party, she would risk her life to kill that guy!

Even if you can't beat him, bite him until he's covered in wounds.

She quietly pulled the dagger from Er Mangzi's waist, who was stunned by what she saw.

Boss Jin swung his knife down again.

The machete has no point, so it can't be used to stab or stab; it can only be used to chop, gather, and wipe.

This time, Lu Yao didn't dodge; instead, he took a step forward to meet her.

He hoisted Boss Jin's arm onto his shoulder.

His knife became useless in an instant.

But Lu Yao's knife arrived too, slicing past his neck.

Jin felt a chill on his neck.

Then, hot blood started flowing.

Although it was just a scratch, it still gave me quite a fright.

Going any deeper, it might sever the blood vessel.

Jin Laoda was panting heavily.

"You're fucking fast..."

Lu Yao had already increased the distance again.

He only held the rope in his left hand, a sinister grin on his face:

"Dude, don't be afraid, let's try again."

Jin Laoda gritted his teeth and pounced again.

This time he went all out, aiming for vital points with every strike.

Lu Yao dodged left and right, and got a cut on his body, but it wasn't deep.

Suddenly, Lu Yao found an opportunity and kicked Boss Jin in the knee.

As Jin Laoda swayed, Lu Yao seized the opportunity to move behind him. With his left hand bound, Lu Yao turned around and slashed down with his right hand.

The knife struck Boss Jin's right hand, severing the tendons and causing him to drop the knife.
