"How could this be? Such a long distance... Don't panic! Don't panic! Keep an eye on Zhou Shiying! We'll fight Zhou Cheng to the death!"
"Is that so?" Zhou Cheng slightly curled his lips and raised an eyebrow as he swept his gaze across the room.
at the same time.
Zhou Cheng made a gesture towards the shadows.
Swish swish——
A figure appeared on the rooftop not far away, on the eaves hundreds of meters away, on the high ridges, and on all the high points—a human head and a deadly weapon that made their pupils dizzy with rage.
The eyes that looked down at the soldiers held a slight smile, devoid of emotion or anger, yet that single glance intimidated everyone.
"I'll give you a choice too."
"Ten seconds, drop your weapons, kneel down and submit."
"Otherwise, let's comprehend the weapon that even 20,000 troops on the border couldn't stop me from taking a single step."
"ten."
"Nine."
So panicked.
All the guards present panicked.
The team leader is dead, and so many unknown dangers are emerging from the shadows.
They thought they could use Zhou Shiying as a threat to force Zhou Cheng to hand over the weapons, but they never expected that Zhou Cheng would have his men hiding in the shadows, killing the team leader in the blink of an eye.
"Young Master Zhou, we can surrender, but you can't kill us. You must promise to spare our lives..."
"seven."
"It was Marquis Pingyang who did all of this; it has nothing to do with us!"
"six."
“Using the lady as leverage was not our idea; it was Marquis Pingyang who ordered us to do so. Young Master Zhou, please spare our lives!”
"five."
"Young Master Zhou, we were forced into this situation. You can't kill us..."
"Four."
Zhou Cheng didn't even blink.
He made no promises whatsoever.
Hearing the oppressive countdown, the opposing forces' defenses completely crumbled. How could they possibly fight this? How could they possibly win?! Twenty thousand troops at the border hadn't even managed to scratch a hair on Zhou Cheng's head!
And using Zhou Shiying as a threat?
It's completely useless!
That weapon kills people with incredible speed, killing instantly with a single blow!
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"........"
"We are willing to surrender, Young Master Zhou, please spare our lives..."
Under Zhou Cheng's imposing presence, all the soldiers fearfully dropped their weapons and prostrated themselves on the ground.
The fleeing Marquis of Pingyang probably never imagined that his two or three thousand soldiers would be wiped out in less than a quarter of an hour, all because of Zhou Cheng's few words and the first shot fired!
Zhou Cheng gestured to his subordinates to surrender the weapons of the guards and crawl to the left and right sides.
This war ended with a single shot.
Under the fearful and uneasy gazes of the soldiers, Zhou Cheng finally dismounted and strode into the courtyard with an air of nobility. He looked at Zhou Shiying, whose face bore a red handprint.
The face before him was haggard and pale, with disheveled hair, bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, and tears welling in his eyes as he looked at Zhou Cheng.
She seemed very guilty and remorseful.
She had so much to say to him, but after two years apart, she didn't know where to begin. Her disheveled and wretched appearance was a stark contrast to the bright and generous older sister she remembered.
Zhou Cheng was deeply moved: "Big sister, I've come to pick you up."
