The most intelligent general in the world

Chapter 204 The only way out - surrender or die!

In the bustling city, Yan Lingji and other gang leaders stopped their attacks after hearing Zhang Liang's words, but their eyes were still fixed on the three people opposite them, and their murderous intent had not subsided at all.

The three were all covered in wounds at this moment. Under the burning gazes of the crowd, they understood the only way out - either surrender or die!

"I am willing to serve Mr. Zhang!" One of them made a quick decision. After all, not everyone can face death with indifference.

"Eat this!" Zhang Liang said calmly as he threw a pill.

Everyone knows the purpose of this pill, including the master-level expert.

The man picked up the pill, his expression changing instantly. He knew that taking the pill would mean that Zhang Liang would decide his life and death from now on; but if he didn't take it, he would surely die. However, since he had chosen to surrender, he was mentally prepared to be controlled.

After a brief hesitation, he swallowed the pill resolutely.

"Stand aside!" Zhang Liang ordered indifferently.

"Yes!" The man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, and immediately stood aside, lowered his head, and dared not say much.

Zhang Liang turned to the other two masters, without further ado, and threw out two pills, his intentions obvious.

"Mr. Zhang, if we take this medicine, will there be a chance of relief in the future?" A master pinched the pill with a very struggling expression.

Grandmasters are like dragons. Each grandmaster has a lofty status in the world, either being powerful, holding great authority, or being the only one in the world. They are the pillars of various schools of thought and even countries, and are respected wherever they are.

"You have no right to ask more questions. If you eat it, you will be under my control and live; otherwise, you will die!" Zhang Liang responded coldly.

A cold gaze swept across the two of them, making them feel the chill in their souls.

The silence only lasted for a moment, and finally, unable to face death, the two swallowed the pill.

"Very good. From now on, the three of you will be my personal bodyguards and will obey the orders of Ji Yan Ling!" Zhang Liang said calmly.

The three of them seemed to have not yet recovered from their shock and did not know how to respond. They did not even have time to ask about the effect of the pill.

But soon, they understood.

A strange and sharp pain rose from every bone of theirs, as if they were being gnawing at by thousands of ants, making them feel like they were dying.

The three masters had extraordinary willpower, but after just three breaths, they could not bear it anymore and fell to the ground one after another, screaming and struggling in pain, wishing they could die immediately.

"This is a bone-eroding pill. It won't be fatal, nor will it damage your roots, but it will make you indulge in this pain forever, unable to live, and unable to die!" Zhang Liang glanced at the three people on the ground, without a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

After saying that, Zhang Liang turned to Yan Lingji and said, "This is the antidote. Each pill can suppress the pain for a month. Since it is allocated to you, you can control it!"

Zhang Liang casually threw a jade bottle to Yan Lingji, which contained three antidotes. But he did not say when he could give the antidotes to the three people, leaving it to Yan Lingji to decide.

Yan Lingji was not a soft-hearted person. How could she easily let go of the enemy who dared to invade her? From the beginning, she had no intention of giving them the antidote. She just looked at the three people struggling on the ground with mockery.

"Girl... please, please, please... give me the antidote..." A man lay on the ground, pleading with Yan Lingji with difficulty.

"Hehe..." Yan Lingji sneered and ignored him completely.

It is not so easy to tame a master-level expert. Even if he surrenders on the surface, he will not easily pledge allegiance. Moreover, in a hostile state, how could Yan Lingji miss this opportunity to truly suppress the three people.

Some people use both kindness and force to win over their subordinates, while others use ruthless means to make them afraid and dare not resist. Obviously, Yan Lingji adopted the latter method, and her method was quite skillful.

Ignoring all this, she glanced at everyone one by one and asked calmly, "Are there any injuries?"

"More than a dozen servants were killed in the chaos, but there were no losses among the others!" Zhang Li answered directly.

"Very good, clean up!" Zhang Liang said calmly.

"Yes!"

Zhang Liang returned to his residence alone. This battle was not easy for him. Presiding over the formation was extremely mentally exhausting, especially controlling such a huge formation, which made him exhausted.

After returning to his residence, Zhang Liang began to think deeply while recovering his mental strength.

Today's battle made him realize that strength is never enough. Just relying on the power of Tianzong is still not enough to shock the world. In the end, he can only rely on himself.

"If I had the strength of a land immortal, how dare Xun Kuang invade my dojo today?"

"If I had the power to sweep across the world, who would dare to be my enemy today?"

"I will not be in power, but I will be a sword hanging over the ruler's head. Anyone who dares to offend me will be killed!"

"Kings, princes, generals, and ministers? The various schools of thought? If you have angered me today, it will be the thing you regret the most. One day, I will stand above all of you!"

What kings, princes, generals, and various schools of thought? You so-called dignitaries and wise men, you dare to anger me today. This will be the most regretful thing in your life! There will always be a day when I will stand at the top of everyone and let you all look up to me! By then, no matter whether it is the powerful kings or the famous schools of thought, they will all be trampled under my feet! I want you to know that real power does not come from status or fame, but from inner tenacity and wisdom. And these two are exactly what I have! So, wait and watch how I climb to the top step by step and become the unrivaled existence!
