"Okay! One Ice Chi Bead is one Ice Chi Bead, I'll bet on it!"
When everyone thought that Yan Feifei would give up and retreat, Yan Feifei stamped his feet fiercely and said loudly: "I never believe that Qin Yun can defeat Iga Feng!"
This little aunt is crazy! Everyone is stunned.
Yan Fangfei was not surprised at all, as if all this was expected by her.
She clapped her hands and said, "What you say is not supported by words, so come in."
Immediately someone brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Yan Fangfei's personal maid handwritten a gambling contract. Yan Fangfei read and signed it and handed it to Yan Feifei.
Yan Feifei almost gritted her teeth and marked the black and white words on the white paper.
While the two princesses were completing a shocking bet, on a stone platform not far away from them, a dozen old men were pointing at Qin Yun and Iga Feng, who were familiar with the terrain and environment in the valley.
They are all the elders of the Yan royal family and the elders of local branch families. They are either in a high position or rich, so they will not be crowded with the younger generation of royal children. However, they have this regard for Qin Yun and Iga Feng.
He has a strong interest in war.
On the surface, this is a duel between the young disciples of two major sects, but looking at the people standing behind them, how could these sophisticated old foxes not be able to smell the meaning it represents?
In the final analysis, this is a battle for the crown prince and the future of the Yan Dynasty.
Both Yan Chaozong and Yan Lingyun were considered strong contenders for the reserve position, and they each had powerful forces behind them. Yan Lingyun became a disciple of the Yaocheng Sword Sect in his early years, and there is no doubt that he will receive support from the sect. Yan Chaozong will rely on
There is nothing strange about the power of the Shuiyue Sect in Xiaoyingzhou to compete and contain it.
As long as the competition between the crown princes does not lead to fratricide and does not endanger the security of the empire, according to past practices and traditions, Emperor Longwu will not directly intervene. This is why Yan Chaozong dared to use Iga Feng to repeatedly provoke and force
The fundamental reason for suppressing Yan Lingyun.
The battle between Qin Yun and Yihe Feng is undoubtedly the climax of the battle between the two sides, and the result will largely determine the status and reputation of Yan Chaozong and Yan Lingyun in Yanjing.
It is also a good opportunity for these royal family elders and local elders to place bets.
An old man in brocade robes smiled and asked the red-faced old man next to him: "Old Wu, what do you think of these two boys? Who do you think will win in this competition?"
The red-faced old man stroked his long gray beard and said with a smile: "Both boys are not ordinary, but I am more optimistic about Qin Yun of Yaocheng Sword Sect. Although he is young and his level is not as good as Iga Feng, but after passing
In the test of the Ling Yang Battle, if you really fight hard, you should be able to beat your opponent."
As soon as he finished speaking, a skinny old man on the other side sneered: "It's a little worse? It's obviously a step below the Sanyao realm, isn't it? So what if you fight hard on the battlefield? The only thing that masters compete for is their own strength. Yi
After He Feng came to Yanjing, he defeated seventeen of his opponents who died earlier, and he will definitely win this duel!"
"Yes, I think so too!"
"Iga Kaede still has a better chance of winning. I have seen two duels between him and Beiru, and they both won cleanly!"
"It is said that Iga Feng's cultivation in swordsmanship is close to that of sword master, but Qin Yun is still too young."
Many people present agreed with the skinny old man's judgment, and they were not optimistic about Qin Yun.
Although Qin Yun made great contributions in the Battle of Lingyang, fighting in a battle formation is completely different from fighting alone. The former can be supported by comrades. They also heard that Qin Yun can achieve so many gains. The most important thing is
What is more important is that the Ten Earth Divine Power Formation in Lingyang City limits the power of enemy masters.
With the support of most people, the skinny old man became more and more proud and said: "Old Wu, it's a good thing you didn't bet on Fang Yatou, otherwise I'm afraid you'll lose everything. You won't be able to explain to the old sister-in-law when you go back, but you will have to kneel on the washboard!
"
Suddenly someone snickered, the red-faced old man's husband was the famous Hedong Lion in Yanjing.
Hearing the skinny old man's ridicule, the red-faced old man's face suddenly turned purple, and he said angrily: "You said you will win, then you will win? I really don't believe it anymore. I won't place a bet with Fang Yatou, but
I can bet with you!"
The red-faced old man was born in the military and had a violent temper. He couldn't bear the stimulation of others' words. If the people present were not all important people in the royal family, he would really jump up and challenge the opponent in a duel.
"Okay!" The skinny old man seemed to be waiting for his words and said immediately: "If you lose, I don't want any money. I just want to agree to the marriage between your Xiaoqi and my eldest brother!"
"Stop dreaming!"
Although the red-faced old man was angered, he was never stupid enough to fall for such a clumsy provocation. He said disdainfully: "Is my tiger girl your dog can care about? I have given up on this idea long ago. If you want to bet, take the real deal."
Let me bet on gold and silver. I will bet Qin Yun to win three hundred thousand taels of silver. If you like gambling or don’t gamble, if you don’t gamble, I will lose!”
Now it was the skinny old man's turn to be irritated to the point of irritation. He immediately stood up and shouted: "You really think I'm afraid of you, 300,000 is 300,000. My money is really tight recently, can I give up the money delivered to my door?
"
"Then it's settled, everyone is here to bear witness!" The red-faced old man slapped the back of the chair, turning the mahogany chair into powder: "Whoever regrets it is a deadbeat, who else among you wants to
bet?"
His eyes passed over the faces of the elders, who all put on smiles and shook their heads: "No, no, let's just watch the fun, you bet!"
These old guys are all old foxes. It doesn't matter whether they win or lose hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. There is no need to offend the old marshal, so they all shrank their heads, and the skinny old man rolled his eyes in anger.
The red-faced old man chuckled and suddenly shouted loudly into the valley: "Qin Yun, boy, I think you will win!"
His roar exploded like thunder in the sky above Whistling Valley, and the roar of thunder moved in all directions, causing countless birds in the forest to fly up, just like a tiger roaring out of the mountain to show off its power.
This old man was definitely a man of temperament, and he spoke unscrupulously whenever he wanted to, which immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
Of course, it was impossible for Qin Yun and Iga Feng not to hear such a loud roar. The latter snorted coldly and suddenly accelerated his forward speed. He disappeared into the bushes in the blink of an eye, showing his extremely superb movement skills.
But Qin Yun just smiled. He didn't know who was supporting him, and he wouldn't be disturbed by it.
Tiger Roaring Valley is very small, the widest distance from east to west is only over a thousand steps. The valley is rugged with rocks and sparse vegetation. There are waterfalls and mountain streams in the deepest part of the valley. The terrain is relatively complex, which is undoubtedly the most conducive to Iga Kaede's strength.
Therefore, it is very important for Qin Yun to familiarize himself with the surrounding topography as soon as possible within a limited time.
He used Qinggong to gallop back and forth among the grass, trees and rocks at an unhurried speed. At the same time, he activated his small magical power of Wisdom and Clear Mind to carefully perceive everything around him, not even letting go of the slightest movement.
What Qin Yun was looking for was not the animals or monsters in the valley, but the traces and aura of his opponents.
Xiaoyingzhou is isolated overseas. After thousands of years of inheritance and development, it has formed a unique martial arts training system. Yingzhou practitioners represented by Shuiyue Sect can be divided into two categories: ninjas and magicians, which are equivalent to
Sword cultivators and Qi refiners.
Among them, ninjas can be divided into three categories: sword ninja, shadow ninja and secret ninja, which are equivalent to sword cultivators, assassins and multi-cultivation warriors. Different schools and branch lineages are derived from this, and strange sects and hundreds of lines emerge in endlessly.
The Iga Sword Sect to which Iga Kaede belongs is famous for its prolific sword ninjas. Of course, he is also a swordsman, but because of his talent and ability to practice ninjutsu, he is often able to win unexpectedly in battles. He is definitely an extremely difficult enemy to deal with.
In the process of getting familiar with the terrain, Qin Yun felt several strange smells appearing nearby. Although Ruoyouruowu suspected that it was an illusion, he believed in his heart that it represented the existence of Iga Kaede.
The scary thing is that he can't see the opponent at all, or even accurately capture the opponent's position.
While being extremely vigilant, Qin Yun continued to wander in the valley pretending not to know anything.
Time passed by minute by second, and the sun gradually rose into the sky.
An hour is not a long time, but it is not a short time. However, for those watching from the high stone platform, the waiting process was indeed a long one, until Yu Xuanji, who was in charge of the arbitration, stood up next to Yan Fangfei.
The master and Taoist nun stared at the valley and said slowly: "The time has come, you two can start!"
Her voice was not loud, cold and gentle, but it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
Even Qin Yun and Iga Feng, who were hundreds of steps away in the valley, were no exception.
It’s finally starting!
All the people who came to watch the battle were in high spirits, especially those who bet on Qin Yun and Iga Feng. They were all focused. They looked at the valley intently, fearing that they would miss the scene of the battle between the two sides.
In the valley, the two sides of the duel immediately entered a state of combat, although the two sides had not yet encountered each other head-on.
Clang!
Qin Yun unsheathed his sword, holding the Nu Cang sword in front of him, and moved forward step by step.
Every step he took was extremely careful, and his cloth boots fell to the ground silently, like a civet cat looking for food.
At this time, the woods in the valley were quiet, and no birds or animals could be seen. Occasionally, the wind passed over the valley, bringing up the leaves and making a rustling sound. Everything seemed so peaceful.
While moving forward, Qin Yun silently performed magical skills, and the powerful Xianyao Qi surged through his meridians. His originally dark eyes and the heavy sword in his hand were all covered with a faint red light.
Time was still passing, Qin Yun walked forward nearly a hundred steps, and when he was about to walk out of the woods, Iga Feng still did not appear, disappearing without a trace as if like a ghost.
Even if he is on the stone platform overlooking the valley, he cannot be found!
