System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests-Chapter 108 - 87: Night Infiltration of the Divine Blade Hall
"Show mercy?"
The older sister glanced at the Cross-sword Five Tigers: 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"Why should I? He already cut me, so why can’t I kill him?"
"Wasn’t it because you provoked us first?"
Wei Ming, the third of the Cross-sword Five Tigers, angrily spoke up.
But Lv Zhi, the leader referred to as ’Sword-bearing Tiger,’ waved his hand slightly and looked up at the sister:
"Miss, it was my brother here who acted rashly and offended you.
"Lv Zhi here apologizes to you and hopes you’ll let it go this time."
"Mm, mm, mm."
The younger sister nodded repeatedly:
"Sister, he does make a good point! Shouldn’t we be magnanimous and let it go?"
"Are you stupid?"
The older sister couldn’t help but give her younger sister a smack on the head:
"Did you forget what we just talked about?"
"Oh, oh, right, right."
The younger sister nodded rapidly:
"I almost forgot what we came for."
The Cross-sword Five Tigers exchanged glances, understanding reflected in each other’s eyes.
These two girls... seemed to have an agenda.
Lv Zhi pondered and spoke:
"Could it be that you two ladies have some use for us brothers?
"As long as you show mercy, everything is negotiable."
The older sister’s eyes lit up:
"Alright, since you put it that way, why don’t you pledge allegiance to us and make us your leaders from today?"
"Huh?"
Lv Zhi was taken aback, what did that mean?
He had been in the Martial World for years, yet his reputation wasn’t that remarkable, and now he was being recruited by two little girls?
As soon as those words were spoken, the teahouse echoed with laughter.
Chu Qing recalled the first time he met these two sisters, it was with the Seven Iron Horse Thieves.
These two girls had helped the Seven Iron Horse Thieves against Chu Fan, and during the fight, they had also said that if Chu Fan couldn’t beat them, he would have to pledge allegiance to them.
Did they have an obsession with being the leader?
"Lv Zhi, I think these two girls are quite charming, you should just agree."
"That’s right, if such pretty girls want me to call them boss, I’d definitely agree."
"Hahaha."
Those familiar with Lv Zhi started jeering.
But the next words caught the older sister’s attention. She turned her head, glanced, and shook her head:
"No, no, you can’t pledge allegiance to me.
"You’re too skinny, not impressive. If you pledge allegiance to me, it’ll be too embarrassing if word gets out."
"What did you say?"
Hearing this, the man fumed instantly.
He, like the Cross-sword Five Tigers, was a young expert in the Martial World, but unlike them, he preferred working alone and disdained their group tactics.
He had clashed with the Cross-sword Five Tigers multiple times.
Although Lv Zhi alone matched his martial arts skills, he always faced defeat.
Today, seeing the Cross-sword Five Tigers in trouble under the hands of two women, was a rare chance to mock them, yet he was the one mocked instead.
Furious, he spat:
"Do you know who I am? Don’t think that just because Sword-Biting Tiger is in your hands, I can do nothing to you.
"Lv Zhi may hold back, but I won’t be."
In a flash, he drew a short blade from his waist.
But before he could unleash its edge, it was caught effortlessly by two fingers.
Stunned, he was about to exert force when he heard a crack. His blade was snapped in half by the older sister.
Next, a palm hit him squarely in the chest.
With a swoosh, he was sent flying out of the window, crashing onto the street outside.
The older sister shook her head in disappointment:
"I told you you’re too skinny, can’t even take a hit."
"Like a reed in the wind, blown away at the slightest breeze."
The younger sister sighed repeatedly.
Though many laughed at their words, more people fell silent.
Lv Zhi frowned deeply, knowing that man’s martial skills were just slightly inferior to his, yet he couldn’t withstand just one blow from this girl.
If these sisters joined forces, the name Cross-sword Five Tigers might be erased from the Martial World today.
Lv Zhi sighed:
"Miss, your martial prowess is unmatched, today we brothers concede.
"Please, have mercy."
Hearing this, the older sister thought for a moment, released Sword-Biting Tiger’s weapon, and turned to Lv Zhi:
"So, are you agreeing or not?"
"This..."
Lv Zhi glanced at his brothers before gritting his teeth and nodding:
"From today, I, Lv Zhi, will be the vanguard for you two ladies. But please, spare my brothers."
"Big brother, how can you say that?
"We brothers won’t leave you behind!"
"Exactly, it’s either we all go, all stay, or all perish!"
"Indeed!"
The brothers were almost in tears, speaking one after another with deep emotion.
The sisters glanced at each other with innocent looks, as if it had nothing to do with them.
Finally, Lv Zhi took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"We’ve discussed it among ourselves; from today, we follow only you two.
"But we must clarify beforehand... we won’t do anything unjust or kill the innocent!
"Please grant us this."
"Oh... all right."
The sisters agreed without hesitation.
It seemed they could hardly believe it as they exchanged glances, with the younger sister saying:
"Did we really succeed?"
The older sister nodded repeatedly:
"We have subordinates now!"
"We’re one step closer to uniting the Green Forest!"
