Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"Since you don't know what's good for you and insist on fighting me, then I'll beat you until you submit."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said!

The vice-captain sneered, "If you want me to submit to you, then show me your true skills. As the saying goes, the winner is king and the loser is a bandit. In our mercenary world, we have always respected the king. If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me. If you lose, then let us leave and don't make things difficult for us."

Xiao Zhan: "It's a deal!"

Vice-captain: "A promise is a promise!"

The squad leader felt this was very bad. After all, Xiao Zhan was the contact person and also Qin Laoda's son-in-law. No matter who won or lost, it would damage the relationship, and he would have a hard time explaining himself to Qin Laoda in the future.

But he knew that the vice-captain was always arrogant and haughty, and even he himself usually gave him some leeway.

Moreover, the squad leader knew that the vice-captain was actually Liu Shiyuan's man, and had been secretly monitoring Qin Hanwen from within the mercenary group...

The squad leader said, "We're all on the same side, there's no need for a competition. Xiao Zhan is just thinking about our safety. As long as our personal safety is guaranteed, we can put down our guns."

The squad leader's meaning was clear: as long as they put down their guns, everyone's lives would be guaranteed, since the control measures in the capital area were very strict.

The vice-captain rolled his eyes and shouted sternly, "Captain, what do you want to do? This is between him and me, it has nothing to do with you."

The squad leader was furious and thought to himself, "Since you don't know what's good for you, I'll let you suffer in front of Xiao Zhan and let you know that there are always people more capable than you."

Xiao Zhan threw away his cigarette butt and stomped it out, then said to the vice-captain, "How do you want to compete?"

At that moment, Shen Jun said through the earpiece, "Instructor, why don't I just snipe him? This kind of ungrateful bastard doesn't deserve to fight you."

Xiao Zhan tapped his earpiece, signaling Shen Jun to shut up.

At this moment, Xia Keke said in her earpiece, "Xiao Zhan, the drone captured footage of Liu Shiyuan and Qi Jingtian heading towards the back mountain under Master Haifeng's guidance. They are probably looking for the Butcher Squad to join them."

"Also, Staff Officer Yuan led his men over there. I suggest you finish the battle within five minutes."

Xiao Zhan said in a low voice, "Understood."

At this moment, the vice-captain said, "Xiao Zhan, you just boasted that you could wipe out our ten-man mercenary team within ten minutes. Since you're so confident, let's have a melee combat contest."

Xiao Zhan smiled calmly and said, "Swords and spears have no eyes; you are responsible for your own life and death. Are you sure you want to use cold weapons?"

Vice Captain: "I confirm that we will use melee weapons. Swords have no eyes; life and death are in the hands of fate."

"brush!"

The vice-captain pulled a gleaming dagger from his thigh, twirled it in the air, and then arrogantly pointed it at Xiao Zhan, shouting, "Stop talking nonsense, come on!"

Xiao Zhan glanced at the other mercenaries and saw that they were all looking at him, with many of them revealing a fanatical excitement and restless unease in their eyes.

Xiao Zhan knew that the only way to convince the mercenaries to put down their guns was to defeat the vice-captain.

Xiao Zhan waved to the vice-captain and then calmly said, "You go first."

Seeing Xiao Zhan's arrogant attitude and his overconfidence in not even carrying a knife, intending to fight him empty-handed, the vice-captain secretly rejoiced, thinking, "Xiao Zhan, you're just asking for trouble by overdoing it. Don't blame me. If I take this opportunity to kill you, Mr. Liu will definitely reward me handsomely."

The vice-captain's figure blurred, transforming into a blur as he lunged at Xiao Zhan, the dagger in his hand gleaming with a chilling, deathly light in the cold winter night...

Xiao Zhan had been secretly observing the vice-captain, and when the vice-captain lunged forward, he had a feeling of déjà vu.

Suddenly, a scene flashed through Xiao Zhan's mind: Shigeo Miki lunging at him during their duel in the Sutra Repository.

Xiao Zhan immediately understood and cursed inwardly, "Damn it, no wonder he wouldn't listen. So this kid is a ninja."

In the blink of an eye,

At this moment, the vice-captain had already pounced on Xiao Zhan, the dagger spinning rapidly in his hand, changing from a straight grip to a reverse grip, and with a flick of his wrist, he swept Xiao Zhan's neck from right to left.

This move is his signature technique.

If that had hit Xiao Zhan's neck, blood would have splattered on the spot.

Even a god couldn't save him.

At the critical moment,

Xiao Zhan quickly ducked to avoid it.

"Whoosh!"

The dagger swept across Xiao Zhan's head, cutting off a few strands of hair that were blown about by the wind.

The vice-captain was shocked to see that Xiao Zhan had easily dodged his signature move. He had killed no fewer than a dozen people with this move in the past.

It always works.

Xiao Zhan managed to dodge it so easily today.

It seems Xiao Zhan is indeed quite capable; no wonder he was able to kill the Miki brothers, Takeo and Shigeo.

Now,

The deputy captain immediately became extremely alert.

Suddenly, he spun around, flicked his wrist to change from a reverse grip to a normal grip, stepped forward with his left foot, and thrust his right hand forward with a fierce thrust, the dagger aimed straight at Xiao Zhan's heart. If it were to pierce Xiao Zhan's heart, he would surely die on the spot.

Xiao Zhan roared;

"You're asking for it!"

Xiao Zhan rubbed his hands together in the air, then reached forward with his right hand and swiftly grabbed the vice-captain's right hand holding the knife. At the same time, he suddenly lifted the vice-captain's hand upwards and slammed it down heavily with his left hand.

"Snap!"

Before the vice-captain could react, his right hand was smashed in two, revealing the white, broken bone, and blood gushed out…

"Aww..."

The vice-captain let out a piercing scream; the pain was so intense that his entire face was distorted and looked terrifying.

Xiao Zhan severely injured the vice-captain with one move, then seized his dagger. Without saying a word, he flicked his wrist and roared again, "An eye for an eye, I'll give you a free, heart-chilling blow."

"puff!"

The dagger plunged deep into the vice-captain's heart.

"ah…."

The vice-captain's scream abruptly stopped halfway through, because he had already died...

His heart was pierced and burst; it's no wonder he died!

"thump."

The vice-captain's body lay stiffly on the ground...

"Wow, he killed the vice-captain in one move! Amazing!"

One of the mercenaries exclaimed excitedly.

Another mercenary said, "It was the vice-captain who wanted to compete with Xiao Zhan in cold weapons. It's been said that weapons have no eyes and one is responsible for their own life and death. He's not as skilled as the other, so he has no one to blame but himself."

Xiao Zhan glanced at the mercenary who had spoken and said, "You're a sensible man; you accept your loss."

Then he looked at the squad leader and said, "I originally intended to spare his life, but he made a fatal mistake and exposed his identity as a lowly ninja."

The squad leader exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, the vice-captain is a ninja? How come I didn't know that?"

Xiao Zhan pointed at the corpse and said, "If you don't believe me, tear open his clothes. There's a golden cherry blossom tattoo on his left chest. That's the mark of a high-ranking ninja."

The squad leader was skeptical, but still stepped forward and tore open the vice-captain's shirt.

"Hiss..."

I gasped in shock.

Because, just as Xiao Zhan said, the vice-captain has a cherry blossom tattoo of a golden flower on his left chest.

But now, the cherry blossom tattoo was stained red by the flowers, shimmering with an alluring light in the night…

"Damn, so the vice-captain is really a pushover."

"Damn it, this kid's been hiding something pretty well. No wonder he never showers with us, no matter how hot it is; he's afraid of revealing his identity."

Xiao Zhan raised his head and glanced at the mercenaries' faces, saying, "Put down your guns, and I'll guarantee your safety. If you disobey, this will be your fate."
