Master Qi and Gao Mingliang stood in front of the crowd.
One of them was solemn and solemn, exuding a fierce aura, and the other was smiling, but a heart-stopping light flashed from time to time in his eyes. These two people alone suppressed the momentum of everyone in the guild. Many guild members looked at the two.
The person couldn't hide the nervous look on his face.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Pan Zongchang took a step forward and said loudly: "Yes, Ding Jin is dead!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent, followed by bursts of uproar.
As one of the six giants of the Autonomous Committee, Ding Jin was a ninth-level swordsmith and very powerful. Why did he die suddenly?
Especially the senior officials of the Autonomous Committee and the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce looked at each other in confusion for a while.
The failure of the seduction operation was enough to surprise them, but they didn't expect that even Ding Jin would die.
"Dead? Who killed him?"
Master Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and an awe-inspiring aura suddenly appeared on his body.
Pan Zongchang was unafraid and met his gaze without flinching.
However, other guild members did not have such a good psychological quality. Some guild members who knew about Ding Jin's death couldn't help but look at Lin Ze after hearing this.
Seeing this scene in his eyes, Master Qi suddenly understood. He moved his gaze to Lin Ze. After staring for a few seconds, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He naturally recognized Lin Ze. Ding Jin sent wanderers to assassinate members of the Swordsmith Guild and used the Swordsmith Guild to obtain new superior formulas. He had seen Lin Ze's photos and was quite impressed.
But precisely because of this, he knew that Lin Ze had only started to forge swords for less than a year, and logically speaking, his strength should not be enough to compete with Ding Jin, so he tried to kill the latter.
Gao Mingliang on the side also showed an interesting look.
Peng Xianxi asked Pan Zongchang in a low voice, and soon understood the whole story. He couldn't help but cast his eyes on Lin Ze, and the look of surprise on his face flashed away.
For a moment, the three 'Human Pillar' swordsmiths all looked at Lin Ze. The others did not dare to disturb him, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
As the person involved, Lin Ze was calm and composed, looking directly at Master Qi, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally passing by the soul knife on his waist, and an inexplicable color flashed in his eyes.
Master Qi's brows suddenly wrinkled, and something strange suddenly surged in his heart. The way Lin Ze looked at him always gave him the feeling that he was staring at prey.
prey?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Master Qi felt extremely absurd deep in his heart. He was a majestic 'human pillar' swordsmith, who had the right to treat him as prey?
After a moment of silence, Master Qi finally broke the silence. He glanced at Lin Ze coldly before looking at Peng Xianxi.
"According to the information we received, you were indeed injured while hunting the Emperor-level insect beast. This is unmistakable. However, who cured your injury?"
Peng Xianxi shook his head and said, "Does it make sense to say this now?"
"Indeed, it makes no sense to say this now." Gao Mingliang took the words and looked at everyone in the guild with a smile, but his tone was full of coldness, "In any case, the fate of the Swordsmiths Guild has been determined! Peng Xianxi, how about you surrender?
Or do you think you can defeat Master Qi and me together?"
"Whether I can beat you or not, you have to fight to know." Peng Xianxi shook his head.
"Why bother? The outcome of a one-on-one battle may be unknown, but with the Autonomous Committee and the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce joining forces, the Swordsmiths Guild is absolutely no match, so why bother struggling?" Gao Mingliang shrugged, "It is not easy to train swordsmiths. If there are too many casualties,
If you do, the strength of the settlement will inevitably drop significantly. It is for this reason that I kindly advise you."
Pan Zongchang couldn't help but shouted: "In this case, you should not provoke a war!"
Gao Mingliang spread his hands and did not respond to Pan Zongchang's question.
In fact, if Peng Xianxi had not been seriously injured and fell into coma, he and Master Qi would not have thought of annexing the Swordsmiths Guild. However, when they came to the end, they found that Peng Xianxi had been cured. Unfortunately, by this time, he and Master Qi were in a difficult position.
Teacher, I am not willing to give up at this time.
Peng Xianxi waved his hand, signaling Pan Zongchang to step back, then looked at Gao Mingliang and Master Qi, and said in deep thought: "You are right about one thing. If there are too many casualties among the swordsmiths, it is indeed not a good thing for the settlement. How about this?
The outcome of the Swordsmiths Guild, the Autonomous Committee, and the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce will be decided between us. No matter what the outcome is, all members of the other side must accept it unconditionally."
Hearing this, Gao Mingliang couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.
"You mean, you plan to deal with me and Master Qi alone?"
Master Qi was also a little surprised.
Among the three 'human pillar' swordsmiths in the Blackstone settlement, Peng Xianxi is the strongest and ranks first. The two of them have to admit this no matter how unwilling they are. However, even so, it does not mean that Peng Xianxi can defeat him alone.
The two of them join forces.
Otherwise, the Swordsmiths Guild would have annexed the Autonomous Committee and the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce long ago, and it would never have developed to the extent it is today.
Unexpectedly, Peng Xianxi shook his head and said: "Of course not, one-two is too unfair to me, I need to find a helper."
Hearing this, Master Qi and Gao Mingliang looked at each other, and a tacit understanding was instantly reached in their eye contact.
"Okay, as you said, you can find a helper. We will fight two against two. The losing side will disband the organization on the spot and merge with the other side. No more wars will be started!" Master Qi said coldly.
There are only three "human pillar" swordsmiths in the entire settlement. No matter who Peng Xianxi finds as a helper, they can't change his fate of defeat. What do they have to be afraid of?
Rather, this kind of development is the best, so that they can annex the Swordsmith Guild without breaking the bank.
Unless they have to, they don't want to cause too many casualties. Otherwise, even if they annex the Swordsmith Guild, the power of the Blackstone settlement will be greatly affected, and they will have to rest for ten to twenty years before they can recover.
"Okay!" Peng Xianxi nodded.
Seeing this, Pan Zongchang and several guild elders became anxious and couldn't help but step forward to persuade, but Peng Xianxi waved his hand to stop them.
After signaling everyone to calm down, he suddenly turned to look at Lin Ze and said with a smile: "Brother Lin Ze, how about you do me a favor?"
Lin Ze was startled: "What are you busy with?"
"I, an old man, can't beat the two of them. How about you join me later?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present could not help but be stunned. Even Lin Ze had a look of surprise on his face: "Do you think I can defeat the 'Human Pillar' swordsmith?"
"No need to defeat, as long as you can hold Master Qi for ten minutes." Peng Xianxi walked to Lin Ze's side, smiled and patted his shoulder, lowering his voice and said, "Ding Jin is a ninth-level swordsmith after all.
Master, you forged the superior soul sword 'Blood Emperor', but you easily killed it. Whether it's your true strength or your ability to restrain the 'Blood Emperor', it means that you are at least as good as Master Qi.
With Zhan’s strength, as long as you can hold him off for ten minutes, I will come to help you immediately after I finish off Gao Mingliang!"
Lin Ze was really surprised now. He didn't expect that Peng Xianxi was so sharp and guessed that he had a way to restrain the 'Blood Emperor'. However, what surprised him even more was that from what Peng Xianxi said, he seemed to have
Be sure to defeat Gao Mingliang within ten minutes.
Seemingly seeing his doubts, Peng Xianxi said solemnly: "You should also know that my soul sword is 'Tianji'. Strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a 'god man' who can restrain Gao Mingliang. Plus my strength.
Even better than him, if we want to defeat him within ten minutes, not to mention absolutely sure, we still have a 90% chance!"
"As long as Gao Mingliang is defeated, Master Qi will definitely not fight us desperately due to his cautious temperament. He will most likely seek reconciliation, and the crisis will naturally be resolved by then!"
"I know that this matter is extremely dangerous for you, but for the survival of the Swordsmiths Guild, I can only leave it to you!" Peng Xianxi said in a sincere tone.
Lin Ze glanced at him, pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily and said: "I promise you, but afterwards I want all the spiritual stones from the Autonomous Committee and the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce!"
"make a deal!"
Peng Xianxi agreed without hesitation.
Although the Spiritual Solution Stone is precious, it is insignificant compared to the survival of the Swordsmith Guild.
What's more, if it can survive today's crisis, not only can the Swordsmith Guild survive, but it can also annex the enemy's power and further strengthen it, which is far more important than a few spiritual solution stones.
The two chatted in low voices for a long time. Master Qi gradually lost his patience and said coldly: "Have you discussed it yet?"
Gao Mingliang smiled slightly, with a hint of joking in his smile.
It seemed that Peng Xianxi was really at his wits' end and actually lowered his profile to persuade a young boy to join forces. Could it be that he thought he could defeat two 'human pillar' swordsmiths in this way?
How ridiculous!
After the words fell, Peng Xianxi raised his head and said calmly to Master Qi and Gao Mingliang: "The fighting in the settlement area will cause too much damage, how about going to the wilderness?"
"good!"
"I'm fine!"
Master Qi and Gao Mingliang nodded at the same time, and immediately there was no movement, looking directly at Peng Xianxi.
Just when Lin Ze was secretly wondering, Peng Xianxi's deep words came from beside him:
"Across vast distances, the horizon!"
But he directly released the soul knife on the spot.
He was slightly startled, turned around and met Peng Xianxi's gaze. The latter smiled slightly and said, "Lin Ze, relax, we are moving the venue."
Lin Ze was still thinking about what this sentence meant, but the next second his vision blurred. When he came back to his senses, he was shocked to find that he was no longer in front of the guild's headquarters, but in the vast wilderness.
"So it turns out that it's Skyrim's ability to control distance."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Ze suddenly realized.
"Then, Master Qi, I'll leave it to you, please!"
Beside him, Peng Xianxi said solemnly, and then his figure suddenly disappeared, including Gao Mingliang not far away.
"I see, Peng Xianxi had this idea, to let you hold me back, while he was free to deal with Gao Mingliang first!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, the sarcasm and sneer on Master Qi's face flashed away, and he narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Ze, his eyes full of cold murderous intent.
"But where does he have the confidence to think that you can support me until that time?"
