　　Xiao Jiu shook his head： “Master has misunderstood.”
　　“The kindness of my master’s cultivation and education to me, I will never forget. Even if I am disrespectful again, I don’t dare to kill my master.”
　　“It’s just that I don’t want to be your chess piece anymore.”
　　“You cultivated me just to control the one million troops in the Northland through my hands. When you need it, with a single order, I will lead the army to swear allegiance to you.”
　　“But you forgot that the Northland army belongs to the country, and all my honors were bestowed by Elder Tang. If I were to be loyal to you, it would be a betrayal of the emperor’s grace and would also bring the one million soldiers in the Northland into an endless abyss.”
　　Hearing this, Elder Tang took a deep look at Xiao Jiu.
　　Feeling a little relieved in his heart.
　　Although Xiao Jiu was Long Yi’s disciple, he did not violate his duties and mission.
　　Long Er snorted coldly： “Xiao Jiu, listening to your words, are you going to betray Big Brother？”
　　Don’t forget, if it weren’t for Big Brother, could you become the God of War in the North？”
　　Could you become the number one on the Dragon Ranking？”
　　You don’t want to betray the kindness of the monarch, so what kind of behavior is it for you to betray Big Brother？”
　　Let me tell you, Xiao Jiu, you are a typical ungrateful person！”
　　Long Er was furious.
　　That year, Long Yi secretly accepted Xiao Jiu as his apprentice because he took a fancy to Xiao Jiu’s martial arts talent and wanted to use Xiao Jiu as a chess piece to control the million-strong army in the North.
　　As long as he has the million-strong army in hand, plus the strength of the Forbidden City, he can completely control the overall situation of the world and make Elder Tang a decoration.
　　But he never expected that Xiao Jiu would betray them today.
　　This chess piece was cultivated in vain.
　　Long Er wished he could kill Xiao Jiu.
　　Xiao Jiu said： “I neither want to betray the kindness of the monarch nor be an ungrateful person.”
　　Long Er was stunned： “What do you mean？”
　　Do you want to be loyal and filial at the same time？”
　　Ridiculous！”
　　Since ancient times, there has been no such thing as being loyal and filial at the same time.”
　　Long Yi looked at Xiao Jiu and remained silent.
　　His face was ugly.
　　Master, I, Xiao Jiu, am not an ungrateful person. In order to repay your kindness, today, your disciple will risk his life to help you kill your great enemy.”
　　After Xiao Jiu finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Ye Qiu.
　　Long Er Angrily said ： “Killing a few ants doesn’t require your help. Xiao Jiu, get back to the Northern Border——”
　　Before the words were finished.
　　Long Yi raised his hand, gesturing for Long Er to shut up.
　　Long Er couldn’t help but say： “Big brother, we have been planning for many years. It’s not for him to help us kill the enemy. What we want is the million troops in the Northern Border.”
　　Long Yi said： “Xiao Jiu has made his choice. Even if he returns to the Northern Border, those million troops won’t be under our control.”
　　Long Er anxiously said： “But this will disrupt our plan.”
　　Don’t worry, it won’t affect the overall situation.” Long Yi stared at Xiao Jiu’s back and said coldly： “Some people, once they have a bit of status and strength, think they can change the overall situation.”
　　Little do they know that the overall situation of the world can’t be changed by just one person.”
　　Stupid！”
　　Long Er’s eyes showed a cold light. He had already decided that after tonight, he would get rid of Xiao Jiu.
　　A disobedient chess piece will only become a disaster if left.
　　Xiao Jiu stopped when he was still ten meters away from Ye Qiu.
　　And said with a smile：
　　Ye Qiu, when we were in Yangcheng before, you said that given you ten years, you could beat me until I’m looking for my teeth all over the ground.
　　I said that I could only give you three years.
　　It’s a pity that I’m going to break my promise. I can’t give you three years.
　　This battle, let’s start now！
　　Ordinarily, Ye Qiu would have agreed without hesitation, but tonight, he didn’t want to fight Xiao Jiu.
　　“Xiao Jiu, my enemy is not you.” Ye Qiu said.
　　Xiao Jiu said： “Your enemy is the Forbidden City, and I am from the Forbidden City.”
　　Ye Qiu shook his head： “No, in my heart, you are a person worthy of respect.”
　　A person worthy of respect？
　　Xiao　Jiu　laughed.
　　Laughed　very　happily.
　　“Ye Qiu, with your words, I am very happy.”
　　“But the battle between you and me cannot be avoided tonight.”
　　“I represent the Forbidden City to fight, and I will go all out. Ye Qiu, I hope you can also go all out.”
　　Boom！
　　When Xiao Jiu’s voice fell, a terrifying momentum burst out from his body.
　　Suddenly, those rich and powerful bosses on the scene stepped back dozens of meters one after another.
　　In the blink of an eye, only Xiao Jiu and Ye Qiu were left in the center of the square.
　　The two looked at each other from a distance.
　　“Xiao Jiu, why bother？” Ye Qiu sighed.
　　Xiao Jiu was a little impatient, “Cut the crap and make a move！”
　　Ye Qiu stood still in place.
　　“Since you don’t make a move, then I won’t be polite.”
　　Roar！
　　Xiao Jiu let out a loud roar, and his handsome face was full of fighting spirit. He didn’t draw his knife, but clenched his right fist and rushed towards Ye Qiu like lightning.
　　This punch went straight.
　　There were no fancy movements.
　　Ye Qiu suddenly remembered what True Man Changmei had said. If Xiao Jiu entered the capital within a year, he would surely die, and he would die at his hands.
　　Sou！
　　Ye Qiu moved his steps and quickly dodged to the side.
　　He didn’t want to fight with Xiao Jiu.
　　Xiao Jiu chased after him, and his fist continued to smash towards Ye Qiu.
　　Ye Qiu dodged and asked, “Must we fight？”
　　”We must fight.” Xiao Jiu said, “I said, I will go all out, and I also hope you will go all out.”
　　Hong！
　　Xiao Jiu punched again.
　　Ye Qiu had already understood Xiao Jiu’s thoughts. This time, he didn’t dodge. He quickly mobilized his internal energy and punched back.
　　Facing the number one master on the Dragon Ranking, Ye Qiu didn’t dare to be careless.
　　This punch contained the power of true qi.
　　Peng！
　　The two fists collided, and there was a loud noise.
　　Ye Qiu and Xiao Jiu both stepped back three or four meters at the same time. Immediately afterwards, the two of them rushed towards each other again at a rapid speed.
　　In an instant, the two of them attacked each other more than thirty times.
　　Cengcengceng！
　　The two of them stepped back at the same time.
　　Equally matched！
　　Everyone present widened their eyes. This kind of fast fighting, the fury of every punch hitting the flesh, made their blood boil. It was far more intense and exciting than the scenes of the masters’ duels in the movies.
　　Ye Qiu rubbed his fist. He could clearly feel that Xiao Jiu had cultivated true qi.
　　“You hid your cultivation level last time in the North？” Ye Qiu asked.
　　“No, I just broke through recently.” After saying that, a strand of true qi emerged behind Xiao Jiu.
　　Immediately afterwards, a second strand of true qi appeared.
　　The　third　strand.
　　The　fourth　strand.
　　The　fifth　strand.
　　A full five strands of true qi！
　　“At the age of thirty-odd, having cultivated five strands of true qi, truly a martial arts prodigy.”
　　Ye Qiu sighed in his heart and said, “Xiao Jiu, actually, we can fight this battle at another time.”
　　Ye Qiu still didn’t want to fight against Xiao Jiu.
　　Or rather, he didn’t want to kill Xiao Jiu.
　　“You should understand my situation. I neither want to disappoint Old Tang and the million soldiers, nor do I want to be an ungrateful disciple. At present, there is only one choice.”
　　Xiao Jiu smiled and said, “Ye Qiu, don’t disappoint me in this battle.”
　　“Of course, if you show mercy, then the one who will die will be you.”
　　Ye Qiu was silent for a moment and made a decision in his heart.
　　“The greatest respect a person can give to an opponent is to go all out.”
　　“Marquis Champion, I won’t show mercy.”
　　“Make your move. A life-and-death battle！”
