Chapter 353: Recruit Ying Bu for your own use and prepare for war!

"Haha, do you think I have to lie to you? If I really wanted to kill you, why would I go through so much trouble?" Gao Yao raised his lips slightly, teasing with a smile. His nonchalant tone seemed to show that he didn't care about the upcoming duel.

Hearing Gao Yao's words, Ying Bu, who was originally half-believing and half-doubting, couldn't help but feel moved. Indeed, with Gao Yao's strength and status, if he really wanted to get rid of him, there would probably be no need for such twists and turns. Thinking of this, Ying Bu finally began to believe that Gao Yao's words were true.

"Okay! In that case, let's do as you say and compete with each other using only fists and feet. If we use weapons, I'm afraid your life will be taken away easily by me!" Ying Bu stared at Gao Yao with a sharp gaze, revealing a hint of provocation and confidence in his eyes.

"Go ahead!" Facing Ying Bu's somewhat arrogant words, Gao Yao remained calm and composed, as if he didn't take the other party's words to heart. He stood there calmly, like a sculpture as stable as Mount Tai.

Seeing Gao Yao so arrogant, Ying Bu could no longer suppress his anger, and immediately rushed towards Gao Yao like an arrow. His speed was as fast as a storm, and his power was as strong as a tidal wave. In the blink of an eye, Ying Bu's powerful punch had already whistled and hit Gao Yao's chest directly.

Something unexpected happened. Just when the fist was about to touch Gao Yao's body, Gao Yao waved his arm lightly, and quickly attacked like a ghost, firmly grasping Ying Bu's fist. Not only that, Gao Yao's feet did not move at all, and he did not even take a step back.

This sudden change made Ying Bu stunned. He opened his eyes wide with an expression of disbelief. He never thought that Gao Yao would take his full-strength punch so easily, and that he could remain so calm. Ying Bu was secretly surprised. He never thought that Gao Yao, who looked like a scholar before, was so strong.

"Is that all?" At this moment, Gao Yao's face revealed undisguised contempt. His cold words were like a sharp sword, piercing Ying Bu's heart.

Facing Gao Yao's impolite and sarcastic words, Ying Bu's anger was instantly ignited. His eyes were wide open, his hair was standing on end, and he roared like a mad tiger, rushing towards Gao Yao regardless of everything.

No matter how frantically Ying Bu attacked, every move he made was like hitting cotton, soft and ineffective, because Gao Yao could always catch his moves easily and seemed to be at ease.

For a moment, only two figures were seen crossing each other like lightning. Ying Bu was the attacker, and his offensive was like a torrential rain, continuous and uninterrupted; while Gao Yao was the defender, and his defense was impenetrable and solid. Although Ying Bu tried his best, he was unable to break through Gao Yao's defense.

As time went by, Ying Bu gradually realized the huge gap between himself and Gao Yao. This gap made him feel extremely frustrated and angry, but even so, he still refused to give up and continued to grit his teeth and persevere.

At this moment, Gao Yao, who had been on the defensive, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes. He saw the right moment, exerted his strength, turned his body, and the originally tight defense instantly turned into a fierce attack. This sudden change caught Ying Bu off guard and he had no time to react.

Gao Yao's fist, as hard as steel, was wrapped in a thunderous and overwhelming momentum, and he smashed towards Ying Bu fiercely with lightning speed! This punch was like a mountain crushing an egg, with amazing power.

Facing this fierce attack, Ying Bu gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist Gao Yao's attack. However, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Although Ying Bu tried his best to hold on, he could only barely hold off two or three moves.

Just as Ying Bu was trying his best to deal with it, Gao Yao suddenly kicked Ying Bu in the chest accurately. Ying Bu felt a huge impact spread throughout his body in an instant, and he flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and then fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Puff--" With a muffled sound, Ying Bu spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and the scarlet blood drew a shocking arc in the air. So far, this fierce battle has finally come to an end, and the winner has been decided.

Gao Yao stood there quietly. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Ying Bu who was lying on the ground in a mess, and said calmly: "How about it? If you are not convinced, we can continue to compete in weapons or horse fighting."

Hearing Gao Yao's words, Ying Bu struggled to support himself with his hands on the ground, trying to stand up. His face, which was originally full of arrogance, had now become much more restrained, replaced by a look of frustration and helplessness that was difficult to conceal.

After a long while, Ying Bu slowly raised his head, looked directly into Gao Yao's eyes, and said through gritted teeth: "No need for that. If I lose, I lose. I, Ying Bu, am not the kind of person who can't afford to lose." After that, he took a deep breath, as if trying to calm the waves in his heart.

After the thrilling contest just now, Ying Bu knew very well that the gap between him and Gao Yao in boxing and kicking was as big as heaven and earth. Since even the most basic boxing and kicking skills were so far apart, then competing in other events such as weapons and horse fighting would probably only bring trouble and humiliation to himself.

"Someone come!" Gao Yao shouted loudly without hesitation. As soon as he finished speaking, a servant rushed to Li Yi's side as fast as the wind.

Li Yi nodded slightly and whispered a few words to the servant. The servant was startled at first, then quickly agreed and turned around and left in a hurry. The whole process was as fast as lightning, leaving people almost no time to react.

At this time, Gao Yao was already sitting upright, his face as gloomy as water, like a towering mountain, making people dare not offend him easily. Ying Bu opened his mouth several times, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back because he really didn't know how to break this dead silence.

As time went by, the silence was like a heavy yoke, pressing Ying Bu to the point of being unable to breathe. Finally, after a long wait, Ying Bu could no longer suppress his inner anxiety and uneasiness, and suddenly shouted: "You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!"

But even so, Gao Yao remained unmoved, not even raising his eyelids. He leisurely picked up the teacup, gently blew away the foam on the surface, then took a sip, savoring the taste of the tea.

Another difficult time passed quietly. Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of Ying Bu's forehead. His heartbeat became more and more rapid, as if he could hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

"Don't worry..." Just when Ying Bu felt that he was about to be swallowed by fear, Gao Yao's deep and attractive voice slowly sounded. Then, Gao Yao said: "Show it..."

"Here!" As Gao Yao spoke, two strong servants came out. They carried two huge trays steadily and walked quickly in front of Ying Bu.

Everyone looked closely and saw a set of radiant and majestic armor on one of the trays. The whole set of armor was shining with cold light, and the armor pieces were closely connected. There were exquisite patterns carved on them, which were obviously made by skilled craftsmen. On the other tray, there was an extremely sharp sword lying quietly. The sword had a narrow blade, which shone brightly under the sunlight, emitting a chilling chill.

"Well, now it depends on what choice you make. The road before you is clear: first, to willingly join my army and become a mighty general under my command; second, to welcome the coming of death. The road has been paved, waiting for you to make your own choice." At this moment, Gao Yao said to Ying Bu without hesitation and directly, without even uttering a word of extra nonsense.

Gao Yao knew very well that if he wanted to subdue a person like Ying Bu who was very likely to rebel, there were only two ways: either to use his powerful strength and majesty to make him fear him to the core; or to rely on his own outstanding personality charm and leadership to win his sincere respect. However, no matter which way he chose, the most urgent task was to completely wipe out the inherent arrogance in Ying Bu's heart.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was a dead silence all around, as if even the air had frozen. Finally, after a long and unbearable silence, Ying Bu slowly raised his head and looked directly at Gao Yao with a firm gaze.

Ying Bu took a deep breath, then knelt on one knee, clenched his right fist and placed it on his left chest. He bowed respectfully to Gao Yao and shouted, "Ying Bu is willing to follow the general until death and serve you at all costs!"

After listening to Ying Bu's words, Gao Yao slowly stood up and came to Ying Bu's side, and helped Ying Bu up.

"Ying Bu, I have gone through so much trouble to find you because I am impressed by your extraordinary talent and potential. Let alone a mere title of king, as long as you can give full play to your own powerful strength, I will definitely give you enough space to display your ambitions and aspirations. For now, you will condescend to serve as my vanguard officer for the time being. What do you think?"

Hearing that Gao Yao was so willing to let him take on this extremely critical and important vanguard position, Ying Bu was instantly so excited that he could hardly contain himself, and his heart was like a storm. He had never expected that Gao Yao could be so generous and generous, and would not hesitate to give him such a rare opportunity.
