The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 239: Showdown, Zhang Xiu vs. Taishi Ci

"President, why are we wasting time talking to him? If he wants to fight, then we'll fight. The worst that can happen is death. We Jiangdong heroes are not afraid!"

Lu Meng on the side was the first to lose his temper and spoke to Zhou Yu in front of him.

"Anyway, there's only Zhang Xiu on the opposite side. I don't believe that the four of us combined can't kill him!"

"Yes, President, the other side has bullied us. This is intolerable!"

Lu Meng kept winking at Gan Ning, and Gan Ning became impatient with Lu Meng and had no choice but to continue speaking along with what Lu Meng said.

"President, this won't work. Zhang Xiu's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is stronger than our Jiangdong Army. If a fight really breaks out, our soldiers will suffer!"

Taishi Ci on the side tried to dissuade him, but was stopped by Zhou Yu.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

Zhou Yu stepped forward and spoke to Zhang Xiu in front of him.

"General Zhang, Gongjin respects you as a hero and a good general who cares about his soldiers. Now the conflict between us is irreconcilable, but Gongjin really doesn't want our brothers to suffer irreparable casualties, so..."

Zhou Yu paused and continued.

"How about we use this as a bet? Each side will send out their own generals to fight, and it's a best-of-three game. If you, the Xiliang Army, win, we'll open the gates of Jiangdong and let you in. Even if you turn our Jiangdong High School upside down, we won't complain!"

"President, no!"

Gan Ning on the side quickly spoke out to stop him. What Zhou Yu did was absolutely not allowed without the consent of the general manager and the principal. Moreover, if they really lost, then Jiangdong University would lose face in front of the whole world.

"Don't worry, I'll go to the director and the principal to accept my punishment after the duel. The most urgent thing is to resolve this dilemma!"

The three people behind him were silenced by Zhou Yu's words and could only express their obedience to Zhou Yu's arrangements.

"But if we Jiangdong win, you Xiliang University must publicly apologize to our Jiangdong University throughout the Han Dynasty, and leave one hundred-man unit from each of your branches to our Jiangdong Army!"

After hearing what Zhou Yu said, Zhang Xiu's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. Zhou Yu had a good plan. Every branch of the Western Liang Army was personally selected and trained by the lord and Master Zuo Ci. The training methods of each branch were the first of their kind in the Han Dynasty.

Leaving 100 men from each branch of the army would form a medium-sized combat unit. Such a combat unit would be enough to allow an ambitious person to cross the class barrier! From what Zhou Yu said, it seemed that he not only wanted such a well-trained unit, but also wanted to use it to obtain the training methods of each branch of the Xiliang Army, thereby enhancing the strength of his Jiangdong Army.

"Okay, I agree!"

Zhang Xiu pondered for a moment and agreed readily.

"Since General Zhang is unwilling... then we..."

Zhou Yu thought Zhang Xiu would not agree, and had prepared his farewell words for Zhang Xiu, but he heard Zhang Xiu say that he agreed.

"Since General Zhang is willing to fight our Jiangdong Army, that's fantastic! Amon, quickly send someone to set up the arena and prepare the venue so that our Jiangdong Army can experience General Zhang's style!"

Zhou Yu was worthy of being the wise general of Jiangdong. Realizing that the plan had changed, he immediately made adjustments. After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Lu Meng immediately ran to the troops behind him and notified each captain to lead his troops to retreat a hundred meters, and each team sent out 10 people to arrange the venue.

"All troops, follow my command. Retreat a hundred meters and clear the space!"

Zhang Xiu also raised the tiger-head spear in his hand and ordered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to retreat.

……

About an incense stick of time later, both sides retreated a hundred meters to make room for the fight between the generals of both sides. The Jiangdong army was fully staffed and even brought up the war drums.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As the war drums continued to beat, the soldiers on both sides could not help but cheer for their generals. Zhou Yu gave Taishi Ci a look, and reached out to grab Lu Meng who wanted to jump into the arena.

Taishi Ci bowed to Zhou Yu, then jumped into the open space in front of him and looked straight at Zhang Xiu who was sitting on the horse.

"Hey, President, why don't you let me go up!"

Lu Meng said very discouragedly that he was obviously the strongest in the debate group and he was not afraid even if he faced Zhang Xiu. Why did Zhou Yu rather let Taishi Ci be on the scene than let him fight Zhang Xiu.

"Amon, be patient!"

Zhou Yu looked at Zhang Xiu who flew into the arena, his eyes full of confidence.

"The duel will last three rounds. The difference in martial arts between Taishi Ci and Zhang Xiu is not too great. Although Taishi Ci is no match for Zhang Xiu, he's more than enough to wear down most of his strength. You'll play in the second round. Even if he manages to draw with you, he definitely won't be able to defeat us in the third round!"

A gleam of light flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes, but he didn't say the rest. Because even if both sides had 1 win and 1 draw, there would always be one person on his side who maintained full combat power. Even if Zhang Xiu wanted to attack at that time, he would have to consider the difference in the number of high-level generals. Zhou Yu believed that Zhang Xiu was not a reckless person and would definitely retreat and look for another opportunity later.

"Okay, then we have a deal. Let me play in the second game. You can't lie to me!"

Lu Meng said happily that as long as there was a fight and he could win, it didn't matter when he went on the field.

……

"General Zhang, please!"

Taishi Ci rolled up his sleeves, pressed the siman on his wrist, and unloaded his weapon - Taishi Ci's weapon was a pair of hand halberds (somewhat similar to a pistol, but with a handle for throwing on the handle).

"It's been a long time since I saw Taishi Ci take action!"

Gan Ning spoke with great interest, not caring at all about Lu Meng's teasing on him.

"Don't worry, even if Taishi Ci can't defeat Zhang Xiu, he will definitely not let him have an easy time!"

Zhou Yu said confidently that he and Taishi Ci had been classmates since elementary school. Apart from Taishi Ci himself, Zhou Yu was the second person who knew him best.

"please!"

Zhang Xiu held the tiger-head spear, his eyes full of coldness, and his martial arts index burst out in an instant.

Zhang Xiu, military strength index points.

"boom!"

Taishi Ci also burst out with his own aura, and the azure internal force continued to be stimulated from his body.

Taishi Ci’s martial arts index points!

"Keng!"

Unexpectedly, Taishi Ci did not start close combat directly, but instead put the two halberds in his hands together to form a peculiarly shaped bow.

"This is…"

Zhang Xiu looked at Taishi Ci's move in confusion, but the next second, as Taishi Ci made a bowstring pulling motion, an arrow actually appeared from the strange bow in Taishi Ci's hand.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow flew past Zhang Xiu's armor at such a speed that even Zhang Xiu was a little surprised.
