907 Concede Defeat? No Way! (1/2)
”Brother Fourteenth… your words of wisdom today have really brought us to our senses!” Qu Wu Hui politely bowed to Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master and said with great sincerity. ”If the Holy Lands still have a future… it will all be thanks to Brother Fourteen's words today! Although we stand on opposing sides, I will forever etch this favor in my heart! Even if the day comes where we kill Brother Fourteenth with our hands, we will absolutely carve Brother Fourteenth's name in the Heaven Saint Palace's predecessor tablet!”
The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master didn't know whether to laugh or cry. ”Thinking of killing me… With the current three Holy Lands… is it possible? Qu Wu Hui, you better stop dreaming! And don't you dare tarnish this young master's great name, carving this young master's name on your predecessor tablet. Are you showing me gratitude? That is an insult to this young master!”
”Whether I'm dreaming or not, it shall be determined at a later time.” Qu Wu Hui chuckled. Then he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and declared, ”For the words Brother Fourteenth spoke today, the one thousand earthworms… this old man… will eat them!”
”Oh? Does that mean you were originally planning to go act dumb?” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master scanned him up and down and said in a meaningful tone. ”As expected from one who yields from the three Holy Lands, to even dare to play foul in a bet with this young master, I've really witnessed what it means if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked today…”
Qu Wu Hui turned red. Qiao Ying and Chen Yin Xiao also bowed to the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, thanking him for his words. The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master sighed. ”Who knew that the words I mentioned unintentionally have helped my enemy….”
Everyone chuckled, but the trio's hearts were extremely heavy. What the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master had mentioned was a fact and reality. And it was indeed at a considerably bad stage. How would they turn things around?
The three of them frowned and spent a long time trying to figure out what to do… but to no avail… they couldn't help but let out a sigh simultaneously…
Qu Wu Hui announced listlessly. ”Third Battle, Evil Monarch's victory!”
Jun Mo Xie chuckled and watched his seven subordinates return to the troops. He turned around to look at Qu Wu hui and said, ”Senior Qu, thank you for going easy on us, that Exquisite Lotus… is halfway to becoming mine!”
This sentence was clearly a reply to what Qu Wu Hui had said earlier. But right now, Qu Wu Hui had nothing to say because that was just how it was. What else was there to say?
Acting strong and holding on was even more embarrassing. Today, the three Holy Lands and Heaven Saint Palace utterly embarrassed themselves! There were only six rounds, and the opponent had already completely won three! It was already an understatement to say that he was halfway to winning his stake!
Qiao Ying pondered deeply before suddenly speaking. ”Jun Mo Xie, there is no need to continue the battle anymore. Our side gives up for the battle today! The Holy Lands concede defeat! We will not go back on the Exquisite Lotus that we had promised as bet and will definitely deliver it. Let's just stop here; how's that?”
Qiao Ying was an intelligent person, and judging from the previous three rounds, she noticed that all the signs had indicated that the circumstances were really too peculiar! When the three Holy Lands sent three people, Jun Mo Xie had a three people formation waiting; when it was five people, he had a mythical formation for five people prepared. And it was the same for seven people!
Although there were three more rounds, the three guardians had already lost all their confidence. The strength of Jun Mo Xie's team was too unusual; all the people sent onto the arena did not have the same strength as those from the Holy Lands, and were in fact inferior in terms of Xuan Qi, cultivation, and state of mind.
But with those three mysterious formations, they completely turned the tides and ultimately annihilated the enemy while returning back to the troops without sustaining any losses!
It was not hard to predict following this trend: if Jun Mo Xie had formations for three, five, or seven people, what surprise was there for him to come up with even more formations?
Even if the Holy Lands sent out ten, or even twenty people, Jun Mo Xie would probably still have a formation to counter it, and it would only get stronger. There was no chance of victory for them! Especially when the last round was He Zhi Qiu challenging Jun Mo Xie. From the looks of the battle between Hai Wu Ya and Mei Xue Yan, He Zhi Qiu had no chance of winning!
Then if they continued to fight like this, wouldn't the experts from the Holy Lands be throwing their lives away like a moth flying into flames? Even if they really went through with all six rounds of battle, there was a very likely chance that they would lose all six, and all the members in the battles would perish. At the very end, they would still have to pay up the bet of the Exquisite Lotus! There was really no practical meaning to it!
So Qiao Ying instantly suggested to put an end to the battle!
Without a doubt, her decision was right and wise. Cheng Yin Xiao and Qu Wu Hui could also see this, just that they were embarrassed to raise it up, given their status. But it was understandable for Qiao Ying to raise it… because Qiao Ying was a woman, she had a natural advantage in this area…
A man could not be trusted to keep his promise, but a woman could…
This was the natural privilege of women. Even if that woman had a high status, or was a thousand year old old demoness, she was still ultimately a woman. There was no doubt about this fact, so she was allowed to have this privilege!
Of course, the two old men's faces also secretly turned slightly red… but… their faces turning red… would still be much better than staining the ground red with the flesh and blood of lives, right?
”End this battle? Concede defeat? Give me the Exquisite Lotus and we just stop here?” Jun Mo Xie was stunned. Right now, his focus was not on this matter. His thoughts were currently wandering about, thinking about something else.
