"Stop!"
A voice as solid as stone resounded.
The villagers who had been fighting fiercely gradually stopped and then separated from each other.
"He's playing you all, can't you see?"
A strong man, bare-chested with only a pair of shorts on, stepped forward.
His eyes were locked on Liu Zheng, yet he spoke to the villagers.
"Does it matter who is deceiving whom? As long as everyone's having fun, right? When falsehood becomes truth, and truth turns false, they're finally lost in this comedy. But you insist on ruining the show—do you really think you're doing them a favor?"
Liu Zheng said calmly.
"You speak very eloquently, but just talking isn't enough to pass this test. As long as I'm here, I won't let them get played like fools without even realizing it."
The strong man declared.
"Alright, then let's duel. If I beat you, you let me through. If you win, they can play however they like."
He shrugged as he spoke.
