Twilight Boundary
Chapter 951 - 848: One Coin Crushes a Hundred Acts
"What?"
Looking at the eldest daughter of the Yangming Zhou Family, Fourth Miss Zhou of the Zhou Family, she just casually went to the other camp because of someone calling her "sister-in-law," even with a serious expression, starting to help with the challenge.
It wasn't just the people on Long Hero King's side who were stunned, even on this side, Dazed Donkey, Five Skin, Old Master Sun, and all the Iron Threshold Army and No-Eating beef Disciples were all dumbfounded.
Is this something you can do at the front of two opposing armies?
Zhou Datong himself was a bit stunned, sneaking a look at Fourth Miss Zhou, thinking to himself, is being called sister-in-law that effective?
Originally, I was thinking that at the critical moment, she would save my life...
"If that's the case..."
After everyone reacted for a while, on Iron Threshold King's side, a voice laughed softly, and when everyone looked over, they saw a woman with a red headscarf.
This person's identity was extremely mysterious, with not many in the entire army knowing her, but the No-Eating beef Disciples and the jianghu strange people all highly respected her.
She glanced at Fourth Miss Zhou who had switched camps, then looked towards Long Hero King's side with a smile. When she spoke, she didn't seem to exert much effort, yet her voice naturally carried clearly: "Among the ten formations, we win one without a fight."
"In theory, doesn't that mean you've directly lost?"
"..."
The people on Long Hero King's side immediately looked displeased. They had just boasted about winning ten formations in a row, but now someone came over, was called sister-in-law, and they had a defector.
In theory, this formation wasn't just lost.
"Is there something so childish in front of two opposing armies?"
Before anyone else could speak, over there, Long Hero King, already red-faced with anger, shouted sternly, "Reckless and insulting military prestige, who will come with me to capture this woman and execute her in front of the formation to boost morale!"
"If anyone dares to disrespect Miss again, I will cut you down first!"
Upon hearing his words, everyone in the army was in a flurry, their spirits in disarray, but before his words were finished, someone suddenly shouted.
It was the Grand sword catching sect Iron Steed Old Master from the Shousui Sect, his gaze cold as he looked at Long Hero King: "Don't overestimate yourself, little Grasshead King, you're just here waving flags and shouting slogans.
"If the young lady of the Yangming Zhou Family wants to help you, she will help you. If she wants to go to the other side, she will, so when is it your turn to bark here?"
The dignified Long Hero King, now a Grasshead King renowned across the land, was scolded by Mr. Tie and dared not refute, feeling both ashamed and angry, lowering his head.
He tried to hide his dissatisfaction, but amidst such shock and anger, he couldn't hide it at all.
And Iron Steed Old Master did not look at him, slowly spurring his horse and riding out. He was still on a strange horse with over a dozen legs.
Though his body was not tall, especially covered in iron armor, he appeared with a big head directly sunk into his armor, looking somewhat comical. Yet, as he came forward with imposing might, he instantly silenced everyone in both armies, causing them to be cautious.
"The girl has grown up and must marry eventually. We in the Shousui Sect also acknowledge this rule."
He looked towards the Iron Threshold Army side, shouting: "But as long as the girl is with us, there is a way for her to be with us. If she goes to your camp, there's a way for her to be with you."
"The girl has a prior engagement with Mr. Hu, so as long as she's in our camp, we will uphold the sentiment, and you need only win one of ten formations for us to consider it your victory."
"Now that the girl has gone to your camp, if you want to block our path, you need to win the remaining nine battles."
"..." ππ«πππ¨ππ―ππ πππ.ππΌπ
"Huh?"
No one expected this, immediately looking towards Fourth Miss Zhou.
How did pulling someone from the other side into our camp make things so dangerous even more so? Wouldn't it be better to let her go back to her original side...
Fourth Miss Zhou was even more confused: "Engagement? Has the Hu Family already sent over the betrothal? "
"How come I didn't know?"
"..."
But Fourth Miss Zhou was not clueless. This is no time to discuss the small matter of engagement, just upon hearing what Iron Steed Grand Hall Officer said, she was furious, saying: "How can it be all nine wins?"
"That's not fair, win five rounds and we'll have won."
"..."
Iron Steed Grand Hall Officer, now not continuing her point, only let his gaze, heavy and solemn, land on Miss Red Wine's face, saying in a low voice: "My master said, the Zhou Family can lose, but the Zhou family must have a reason to lose."
"Three thousand Shousui, sweeping the world, apart from the already doomed Meng family, no one can stop us."
"If you win these nine battles, then our nine people, together with these three thousand Shousui, will be yours to command."
"..."
Miss Red Wine concentrated slightly, turned her head to look in one direction, only to see a sandstorm sweeping the wild grass, with mist covering the mountains, as if a solitary figure stood silently in the wilderness, blending with the world, quietly watching this battlefield.
Miss Red Wine slowly withdrew her gaze, looked at Iron Steed Grand Hall Officer, smiling: "Alright!"
"Only since it's you Zhou Family who proposed the battle and stipulated the winning definition, then I have a requirement to add..."
"..."
The Iron Steed Grand Hall Officer watched her intently, hearing Miss Red Wine smile slightly, her voice falling: "Life-and-death decided by the win, whoever enters the Ghost Gate first concedes."
The Iron Steed Grand Hall Officer's pupils shook violently, and after a long while, he voiced lowly: "Where are your people?"
At this time, besides the already advancing Miss Red Wine, on the Iron Threshold Army side, there was also Fourth Miss Zhou and two people to the left.
