If you continue to move forward, you will encounter Zhang Ling's strong obstruction and may pay a greater price. The opponent's first attack did not cause fatal damage to the Black Iron Knight, but it does not mean that he will be so merciful next time. The situation of a dog jumping over the wall can happen at any time. If they retreat, what awaits them will definitely be severe punishment according to the family law. These black iron knights not only assist them in carrying out their missions, but are they not there to monitor them in carrying out their missions? Qiu Lianfeng spent such a high price, and Qiu Fengqi couldn¡¯t even care about his own reputation. Why? Isn't it just for the vote in Qiu Jingxiang's hand? If they can't get Qiu Jingxiang's vote, they won't even have to go back to Red Maple City and just find a place to hide. Fortunately, the lives of those black iron knights were not in danger, and their strength was not greatly affected. They still have a chance to continue to entangle with Qiu Jingxiang. They still have a chance to complete their mission. The only thing that needs to be noted is that no harsh measures can be taken anymore. The other party did not kill all the black iron knights, nor did they drive them all away, which shows that the other party is also wary. This fear is the Qiu family. After all, the Qiu family is one of the four major families in the Yan Teng Empire. They are powerful and prestigious. Neither Qiu Jingxiang and Zhang Ling, nor Gu Ruohua and Yan Zhihao are strong enough to completely fall out with the Qiu family. ¡°If the Qiu family really gets angry and wants to kill them completely, they will definitely not be able to escape. At this point, Song Andong and Du Hainian can no longer be tough. The two looked at each other and decided to use other methods to snatch the fatal vote from Qiu Jingxiang's hands. The first thing they thought of was naturally their respective alchemy skills. Song Andong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Gu Ruohua, Yan Zhihao, the bet we agreed on twenty years ago is here! Today, since we have met, we have to decide the winner. I don't know, you two What do you think?" Master Gu and Master Yan looked at each other and nodded in unison. The other party seems to be changing their strategy. They tried to be too hard, so they tried to be soft. They tried to suppress Qiu Ri¡¯s words in alchemy and save some face for themselves, thus forcing Qiu Shizuka to give in. The struggle between the alchemist and the alchemist is still quite fierce. If there is a winner in the alchemy battle between the two sides. The winning side will definitely have more say. The losing party can only admit defeat and withdraw sadly. If it were before, Master Gu and Master Yan would have to think carefully about it. After all, the opponent came prepared and was an alchemist with a slightly higher level than them. If they rush into the challenge, their chances of winning are indeed slim. But now, haha. With Zhang Ling, a perverted alchemy novice, by their side, what else do they have to worry about? Master Gu said loudly: "Okay, let's bet!" Master Yan also smiled and said: "Thank you for remembering that agreement, haha!" The implication is that twenty years have passed, and you are just raising the question now Is it too immoral to come out? It turns out that the four of them had a bet twenty years ago. Whoever was good at alchemy had to promise the other person something. At that time, Master Gu and Master Yan were both better at alchemy than Song Andong and Du Hainian. The two of them did not dare to take the initiative to come to Master Gu and Master Yan. Now, Song Andong is preparing to use this matter to suppress Master Gu and Master Yan. Du Hainian was thick-skinned and said nonchalantly, "Yes! It's been twenty years in the blink of an eye!" Master Gu smiled and said nothing. Master Yan also smiled and said nothing. They openly despise each other's character. Zhang Ling, who was standing next to him, stepped forward and said seriously: "If you two want to compete with my master in alchemy, you must first let me weigh their abilities. After you beat me, it's not too late to challenge my master." Song Andong immediately became angry and said gloomily: "So you still know how to make alchemy?" Zhang Ling said with a smile: "Master Gu and Master Yan are my masters. As their disciple, why don't I know how to make alchemy?" He Deliberately casting his gaze on Xu Zhiying, he said meaningfully: "From the tone of the two of you, it seems that your disciples don't know how to make alchemy. I wonder if that's the case? Then what do you want these disciples to do?" Serving tea and water, making beds and doing laundry and sweeping the floor all day?" Xu Zhiying suddenly blushed and said angrily: "Hey, what are you talking about?" Song Andong didn't expect that he would be beaten by the other party with just a few words. The irony came back, and I was immediately so angry that I couldn't speak. The corners of Du Hainian's mouth twitched and he said calmly: "Xu Zhiying, others have called your name, so you have to prove it to them, do you know how to make alchemy?" Xu Zhiying immediately stood up Come ahead. He is quite confident in his alchemy skills. He might not be able to beat Zhang Ling with his hands and feet, but in the alchemy competition, he would definitely win. Among the many disciples present, no one¡¯s alchemy skills are more powerful than his, and even Liang Wei Bisheng can¡¯t compare to him. He even had the idea of ??challenging Master Gu and Master Yan. A rookie like Zhang Ling was worthless in front of him. Alchemy is not a skill of fists and kicks, and it is impossible to jump forward. Every alchemist's skills are formed through long-term accumulation of experience. He, Xu Zhiying, is definitely the best among them, no one can surpass him. Song Andong said maliciously: "Zhang Ling, you have to be careful. Xu Zhiying is a master-level alchemist. What level are you at?" Zhang Ling smiled and said: "I don't have a level. I can't deal with a master-level alchemist. Alchemist, do you need a level?" With these words, Song Andong's tongue was forced back. Du Hainian said: "Boy, don't use your words. I suggest that it is best to let your masters go to hell!" Zhang Ling said with a smile: "When the master has something to do, the disciple will do his duty, I will take over!" "Xu Zhiying felt that he had been greatly insulted and said angrily: "You are not afraid of Feng Da's tongue flashing. Don't think that your alchemy skills are very powerful just because you have the skills of a three-legged cat. It¡¯s another field that you can¡¯t achieve quickly!¡± Zhang Ling said in a nonchalant manner: ¡°Since you don¡¯t believe me, let¡¯s compete.¡± Xu Zhiying said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s compete!¡± He and Du Hainian naturally wanted it. They are naturally quite confident in Xu Zhiying's alchemy skills. As long as Xu Zhiying defeats Zhang Ling, their face can be saved more or less. Song Andong also deliberately used words to pressure Master Gu, trying to push forward, and said gloomily: "Old Gutou, this disciple of yours is not a defaulter after losing, right? As masters, you two have to come forward to guarantee it." Master Gu and Master Yan murmured in low voices, as if they were discussing something important. After a while, Qiu Jingxiang also came over and joined the discussion. The three people whispered quietly. Song Andong became even more proud, thinking that it was Master Gu and Master Yan who did not have enough confidence in Zhang Ling and did not dare to vouch for his apprentice, so he deliberately said as if nothing had happened: "Old Gutou, Old Yantou, let's do it How about a lottery to make the game more interesting?" Master Gu and Master Yan suddenly became excited and said in unison: "What lottery?" Song Andong said: "How about we bet 10,000 gold coins?" He actually wanted to say, Let¡¯s bet on Qiu Jingxiang¡¯s votes! Unfortunately, I dare not speak. If Qiu Jingxiang was more vigilant, his plan would not succeed. It must be forced slowly step by step. ¡°Only through continuous competition and alchemy, Qiu Jingxiang is forced to a dead end, and she can no longer make other bets, will she take the initiative to increase her vote. By then, he will be able to successfully complete the task. Master Gu and Master Yan looked at each other and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "So many? Don't want it?" Du Hainian felt that the other party also had a serious lack of self-confidence, so he immediately helped and said: "Gu Ruohua, Yan Zhihao, aren't you two very good? Are you poor? You can't even get 10,000 gold coins? I'll add 50,000 gold coins!" Master Gu said with a grimace: "We two old men are really poor" Qiu Jingxiang said with a smile: "Two masters, please be patient. Let¡¯s pay one hundred thousand gold coins and put them all into my account.¡± Song Andong¡¯s eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: ¡°Okay, one hundred thousand is one hundred thousand! Let¡¯s each pay one hundred thousand gold coins. Whoever wins is the winner. No one can cheat. Ah! Whoever cheats is a puppy." Master Gu and Master Yan looked bitter again. Song Andong and Du Hainian both looked at each other, smiling proudly. They all felt that they had seen heavy gold coins falling into their bags, and Qiu Jingxiang¡¯s votes were getting closer and closer to them. Xu Zhiying¡¯s level of alchemy is truly that of a master alchemist. Such achievements are already very rare among alchemists of his age, and almost no one can surpass them.?He got it. How could a young rookie like Zhang Ling, probably only around 20 years old, be Xu Zhiying's opponent? They will definitely make a profit from these 100,000 gold coins. Making a little money is a trivial matter, but humiliating Master Gu, Master Yan and others is a big deal. The two of them had deep conflicts with Master Gu and Master Yan twenty years ago, and now their great revenge has finally been avenged. And as long as the start goes well, they will naturally be able to push Qiu Jingxiang into a desperate situation step by step, forcing her to take the initiative to hand over her votes. With Qiu Jingxiang's strong character and the reputation of Master Gu and Master Yan, even if they knew they were defeated, they would not be able to retreat and withdraw from the competition halfway. If that were the case, their reputation would plummet. "It is indeed a perfect plan!" Song Andong was deeply proud of his cleverness. If they had known this earlier, they should have used alchemy to force the opponent to surrender. " If that were the case, the Qiu family's black iron knights would not have suffered an unexpected blow from the men in gray, and they would not have lost face. Fortunately, they still have a chance to redeem themselves. As long as they defeat each other in the alchemy competition, it is still possible to get everything they want smoothly. ¡¡
