Chapter 485 Peak Showdown

No one knew that Qin Tang, the best fighter in the martial arts world, was actually a killer trained by a prince in the court.

People only know that the person standing behind Ye Feizhou is the Third Prince, but there are more legends about the two of them, that kind of ambiguous relationship that is hard to explain. But the Regent King cultivated Qin Tang for only one purpose, which is to kill people for him.

But no one knew about this relationship, including Ye Feizhou and the Third Prince. It was not until this moment, when Ye Feizhou saw Qin Tang standing in front of him, that he realized that everyone in the royal family was not given for nothing, and everyone had buried their own life-saving talisman long ago without anyone knowing.

But how many desperate masters can there be in the martial arts world? There are countless first, second and third-class masters, countless Jingwei, and although there are also many desperate masters, there are only about a hundred of them at most, right? Or maybe there are dozens more with the growth of new people in recent years?

When I was learning martial arts, I heard from my master that most people who hang around in the martial arts world have names and titles, such as Sword Saint, Knife King, Scholar with Wonderful Hands, and Ghost Seer. They are proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and can kill people without being seen. Every year, they will set up a competition to elect the leader of the martial arts world, and they will be divided into gangs and factions. There will be conflicts from time to time, and serious cases will lead to the extermination of the whole family.

But these sound scary. In fact, those people in the martial arts world are just second-rate masters, at most reaching the elite level, and the leader is only in the semi-absolute level. In the entire martial arts world, there is not a single master in the absolute level.

It's not that people in desperate situations don't enter the martial arts world, but all the masters in desperate situations are not free. There has never been a martial artist in the martial arts world who has entered a desperate situation by himself. All those who have entered a desperate situation are carefully selected and sent to be trained by people with great backgrounds in the capital.

Including the Night Flying Boat, it would be impossible to achieve the current level without the help of His Majesty the Third Prince.

Because in addition to talent, desperate warriors also have to rely on the accumulation of medicinal materials. From the day they start practicing martial arts, they take medicine internally and externally to change their physical constitution. The medicinal materials needed are extremely precious. Not only are they difficult to collect and find, but they are also expensive. Even wealthy families cannot afford them.

After all, using it won't save you from a desperate situation. It still depends on luck, and the talent and hard work of the chosen person.

Only those who are powerful and wealthy can accomplish this, and these people are basically concentrated in the inner city of Lin'an. Occasionally there are a few outside, and they are also provincial governors or figures like the Fourth Prince.

Over the years, many people around the Third Prince died and were injured. He had been in desperate situations before, but after years of losses, only one was left. The current Renwang Mansion is full of elite secret guards, and the only desperate secret guard was left in Luoyun Village.

The reason why there were no more desperate situations appearing around the Third Prince was because the Third Prince had put all his energy into his Ye Feizhou.

Ye Feizhou had guessed who Qin Tang was working for, and thought it was most likely the late emperor, but he never expected it to be the regent. That's right, Ye Feizhou knew that the people who appeared in Luoyun Village were the regent Quan Ji's subordinates. This news was told to him by Ye Hongzhuang, and this was the condition he used to exchange when he passed the message to Xiao Shubai for Ye Hongzhuang.

Luoyun Village looks like a peaceful little village, but in fact, it is a group of informants that the Third Prince has secretly kept outside for many years. They live as villagers, sometimes go into the mountains, sometimes go out to do business, and travel between various cities around Lin'an, collecting and transmitting all kinds of information.

This has been going on for nearly twenty years.

No one has ever noticed when this small mountain village came into being. It started with one or two households and has grown to more than 20 households now, growing little by little, slowly and in an orderly manner.

The reason why no one noticed it was because the people here were truly living their lives, just like ordinary people. They would meet women on the way to sell mountain products, and would be introduced to men in the next village. In the past twenty years, some people were married in, and some were married out. Some children were born, and some elderly people passed away. Some people still don't know how the people in this village are different from ordinary people, and some people know this secret and quietly join in this secret.

He had known about this village for a long time, but he only learned from Ye Hongzhuang today that an important person had been hidden here by the Third Prince for many years. But today, he could no longer hide.

Ye Feizhou took a deep breath. Unfortunately, he only knew the news today. Taking advantage of the Princess' birthday banquet and the Sixth Prince's absence, he sneaked into Prince Su's Mansion and met Ye Hongzhuang.

Ye Hongzhuang knew that the Regent was going to take action today, but she refused to tell him. She only said that as a reward for passing the message for her, she would pass on to him the secrets about the Regent and the Sixth Prince's plan to deal with the Third Prince. Today, he went to ask, but heard Ye Hongzhuang retaliate and say to him: "The Regent is going to take action today. Go to a place called Luoyun Village and take back the mother of the Fourth Prince. You don't have time. Even if you rush over now, you will only see corpses everywhere and a house with no one in it." He rushed here as fast as he could. There were indeed corpses everywhere, but fortunately, people were still there.

"Qin Tang, stop it!" He looked at the man standing in front of him with a cold expression. "I'm here, you can't take me away."

Qin Tang seemed to be listening to a joke, "Ye Feizhou, the fight just now has consumed 30% of your internal strength. You only have the remaining 70%. Do you think you can beat me? Since I am here today, I must take the person away. This is my mission. You should understand."

Ye Feizhou nodded, "But it is also my duty to prevent you from taking the people away. You should understand that. So even if my internal strength is insufficient, I still have to fight this battle. Even if I die, I will not let you leave alive."

He clenched the sword in his hand again, ready for battle.

Qin Tang was angry at his stubbornness, "What kind of mission is this? Ye Feizhou, you are different from us. Even if you fail to complete the mission, your Third Prince will not do anything to you. But I am different. If I fail to complete the mission, it means that my master has cultivated me in vain. I am a waste to him. He will give up on me and kill me without hesitation. So why do you want to fight me? Our martial arts have reached this point. Isn't it better for each of us to save our lives? Ye Feizhou, leave a way out for us so that we can meet again in the future. You and I will meet again one day. Why don't you leave me a favor and wait for me to repay it next time?"

Ye Feizhou shook his head, "No, no one can take the person he wants to protect away."

"What are you trying to do?" Qin Tang simply couldn't understand. "You are not anyone's secret guard, and the Third Prince is not your master. Why do you want to die for this? Can't you just be the second young master of the Ye family? You have a family, and a Third Prince who lets you do whatever you want. Your life is already much better than ours, why do you still want to get involved in these things?"

Ye Feizhou didn't say anything, his eyes dropped downwards and his thin lips pursed. Qin Tang couldn't guess what he was thinking.

"Ye Feizhou, speak up!" Qin Tang was very angry. "I know that the Third Prince is holding that lady hostage in order to threaten and suppress the Fourth Prince in the future. We took her away for the same purpose of suppressing the Fourth Prince. Since the purpose is the same, what is the difference between the Third Prince and us? Don't you really want to do us a favor?"

Ye Feizhou finally responded again. He said, "No. It's fine if the lady is not in the hands of the Third Prince, but since she is in his hands, I can't let anyone take her away. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain this to the Fourth Prince in the future, and it may even lead to a life-and-death fight. I can neither watch the Third Prince die nor let the Fourth Prince die. I will be caught in a dilemma, and my sister will be in an awkward situation. So Qin Tang, let's fight today. Either you die, or we die together. There is no room for negotiation!"

He raised his sword and pointed it at Qin Tang. Suddenly, he disappeared from where he was and appeared in front of Qin Tang in the next moment.

The long sword was aimed at his forehead and should have hit the target with one strike, but unfortunately the opponent was Qin Tang. He caught him off guard, but he still managed to dodge.

This was the toughest battle Ye Feizhou had ever encountered in his life, even more difficult than the last time he went to steal the three letters.

The three letters were guarded by Jue Jing. His realm was above Jue. Even if there were many people, he could still kill them all by himself, and then return to Renwang Palace alive with serious injuries.

But today is different. Although there is only Qin Tang alone, it is more troublesome than if dozens of Jue Jing attacked together.

Of course, it is difficult to fly a boat at night, and it is also difficult for Qin Tang.

Everyone said that he was the best fighter in the world. With him around, Ye Feizhou could only be second.

But that was just a legend. In fact, he knew in his heart that his skills were on par with Ye Feizhou's.

Ye Feizhou was young and had not practiced martial arts for as long as he had, but he was so talented that one year of his training was equivalent to two years of his. In addition, the investment that the Third Prince had made in Ye Feizhou was far greater than that made by the Regent.

The Third Prince risked everything to cultivate Ye Feizhou, without asking for anything in return. No matter how much silver it cost, he was willing to spend it on Ye Feizhou, and only on Ye Feizhou.

But the regent king had to train many people besides him. He just stood out from those people and got his current status. So the medicine he used since childhood was not as good as Ye Feizhou. Although he looked strong, he was actually far inferior to Ye Feizhou who was as thin as a stick. He was just ten years older than Ye Feizhou and had practiced martial arts for more years, so he was slightly better than Ye Feizhou.

So Qin Tang fought with all his might in this battle, using all his skills, attacking and defending without regard for any consequences. Every move was a killing move, and every action had only one purpose, which was to kill Ye Feizhou.

The girl who had recovered sat on the ground and watched the scene. She didn't even have time to cry, her face full of surprise and fear.

At that time, in the banquet hall of the Princess's Mansion, the wooden sword dance was reaching its most exciting part.

Two dancers began to fight with swords, back and forth, following the music and drum beats, from slow to fast, until in the end it was so fast that their figures could not be seen clearly.

Ye Wushuang watched the dance with great interest, with indescribable envy in his eyes.

She was raised outside, and it was already great that she could learn the skill of tea-dividing. She really didn't have the conditions to practice such a delicate dance. Her father also hired a dance master for her, but unfortunately he could only teach her some simple and fancy dances, but it was impossible to teach her to this level.

She was staring at the dance on the field. At this moment, she heard a voice in her ear: "Is it Sister Wushuang? Do you like this kind of dance?"
