NOVEL WEB Chapter 1240: The Wager
Previously, she thought Cui Ye Zheng was crazy when he said he would commit seppuku if he lost. But now, Wang Dadong also said he would commit seppuku if he lost...
She didn't care whether Cui Ye Zheng would commit seppuku, but what if Wang Dadong lost? Would he really have to commit seppuku?
Hearing Long Qiuyu's voice, Wang Dadong turned around and smiled at her, "Long'er, don't you need a sword? I'll win his sword for you later."
Long Qiuyu was almost exploding with anger upon hearing this. Wang Dadong was betting his life just to win her a sword.
"Mr. Cui Ye Zheng, this matter has exceeded my control. I must seek approval from our leader to decide whether to continue the duel," Long Qiuyu took a deep breath, hoping Hao Wentao could stop this farce.
If the peace between the two countries was truly harmed, she would be the sinner.
Just then, Hao Wentao walked over.
"I agree to let the duel continue," Hao Wentao said indifferently.
Even though he didn't know if Wang Dadong had the confidence to win, if he could retain this Mikazuki Munechika in the Huaxia Country, it would be a huge boost to the nation's pride.
After all, this was the national sword of Dongyin Country.
Moreover, Wang Dadong dared to place such a high bet, he likely had some confidence.
"Squad leader, you..." Long Qiuyu's eyes widened, not expecting Hao Wentao to agree to continue the duel.
"Longer, have faith in him," Demon Princess gently squeezed Long Qiuyu's hand.
Wang Dadong's reckless behavior made Long Qiuyu angry, and Cui Ye Zheng was even angrier.
It seemed like he wasn't taken seriously at all.
"Good, good, good, it's been years since I've met a wild kid like you. Today, let me, Cui Ye Zheng, teach you what humility means!" With three 'goods' in a row, it showed he was on the brink of rage.
"Wait!" As Cui Ye Zheng was about to make his move, Wang Dadong waved to interrupt him.
"What's the matter? Afraid now? It's too late!" Cui Ye Zheng sneered.
Even if the rule was to stop at hits, accidents could happen.
Wang Dadong smiled, "The word 'fear' isn't in my dictionary. I want you to write a letter of transfer first, so you don't cheat when you lose!"
Wang Dadong's words made Cui Ye Zheng incredibly angry. Who did he think he was? Would Cui Ye Zheng ever cheat?
Long Qiuyu was extremely worried. Wang Dadong kept provoking Cui Ye Zheng, and if Cui Ye Zheng really went for the kill, no one here could stop him.
"Fine, I'll write you a transfer letter. Bring me paper and pen!" Murderous intent filled Cui Ye Zheng's eyes. Wang Dadong had completely triggered his murderous intent.
Scribble, scribble!
Cui Ye Zheng quickly wrote a transfer letter. If he lost, the Mikazuki Munechika would belong to Wang Dadong.
He didn't make Wang Dadong write a guarantee of committing seppuku if he lost, because... he intended to personally disembowel Wang Dadong!
"Can we start now?" Cui Ye Zheng was on the verge of losing control of his anger.
"We can start now. You're older, so I'll let you make the first three moves." Wang Dadong said with a smile.
"Seeking death!"
Cui Ye Zheng went berserk.
Clang!
The Mikazuki Munechika was unsheathed, its cold glint flashing.
True to his reputation as an expert swordsman, Cui Ye Zheng's blade moved extremely fast and treacherously. His first strike went straight for Wang Dadong's neck.
Since it was an ancient weapon, Wang Dadong naturally didn't dare block it with his body, immediately retreating rapidly.
The first strike missed, but the second strike came, its speed akin to a bolt of lightning, even faster than the first.
Before the blade reached him, Wang Dadong already felt a fierce aura coming at him, making his skin prickle.
Swish!
The blade light flashed, and a sleeve slowly drifted down from the air.
A cold sweat appeared on Wang Dadong's forehead. Luckily, he was fast enough. Had he been hit by that strike, his arm might've been severed.
The sharpness of the Mikazuki Munechika far exceeded his expectations.
Slicing into Sacred Body, it was surely like cutting through tofu. No wonder Cui Ye Zheng looked down upon his Red Bane Sword.
With such a treasured blade in hand, he had every right to be arrogant.
This only heightened Wang Dadong's desire to obtain the Mikazuki Munechika.
"Martial God, victory!"
"Martial God, invincible!"
Seeing Cui Ye Zheng suppress Wang Dadong, the Dongyin people cheered loud.
"Dodge, can you keep dodging?" Cui Ye Zheng sneered, tracing a semicircle counterclockwise from above.
Swish!
An invisible Sword Qi emanated from the Mikazuki Munechika, slashing towards Wang Dadong along the ground.
The sharp Sword Qi plowed a shallow furrow in the cement ground.
Most of the audience present were ordinary people, and they were in awe of Cui Ye Zheng, having never seen such a scene.
Wang Dadong, however, furrowed his brow. Hao Wentao had repeatedly warned him not to use overly powerful forces in this match, nor destructive moves.
Yet Cui Ye Zheng had clearly violated this, as Dongyin people are indeed fond of breaking rules.
No time to think more, the Red Bane Sword was raised horizontally before him, blocking the invisible Sword Qi.
However, although the Red Bane Sword blocked the Sword Qi, the formidable impact remained, pushing Wang Dadong back.
Wang Dadong retreated to the edge of the ring before stopping. According to the rules, falling out of the ring meant losing.
At this moment, Wang Dadong already had half of his foot outside the ring, making it extremely perilous.
Seeing this, everyone felt anxious for Wang Dadong.
After all, there was a bet between them, and if Wang Dadong lost, he would have to commit seppuku.
Long Qiuyu was especially nervous; after all, it was her lover on the ring.
This bastard, being so reckless, just wait and see how I deal with him later!
Long Qiuyu thought angrily.
After taking Cui Ye Zheng's move, Wang Dadong gained some understanding of his strength. If Cui Ye Zheng hadn't hidden his strength, he was at least at the Half-Step Hidden Realm Level.
Defeating a Half-Step Hidden Realm Level without using ultimate moves, not even a Hermit-level could necessarily do it.
Moreover, Cui Ye Zheng wielded a complete ancient weapon, whereas his Red Bane was a Broken Sword. Without using the Character-Arming Secret, he was sure to be at a disadvantage.
Although Cui Ye Zheng violated the rules, his Sword Qi was invisible and the impact wasn't substantial. If Wang Dadong used the Character-Arming Secret, it would definitely frighten these ordinary people.
Damn, I can't be timid now. Get up and fight!
Wang Dadong's body rapidly dashed towards Cui Ye Zheng. Though Cui Ye Zheng's Sword Qi was formidable, if he could get close, Cui Ye Zheng wouldn't have a chance to release his Sword Qi.
"Little brat, you're clever, knowing that to defeat me, you must engage in close combat. But don't forget, I'm a samurai!" Seeing Wang Dadong intending to fight in close quarters, Cui Ye Zheng's lips curled with disdain.
