Chapter 664: Chapter 664: When It Comes to Showing Off, I Bow Down to No One Except Ye Xiu

Lin Feng now understood. Whether it was Ye Xiu pretending to kill Meng Yinwan to go undercover at Kristina’s side, or hiding his true strength to let Qiao Beiming rescue Kristina, there was only one purpose: to uncover the conspiracy of the three great Judicator Families.

Previously, when Ming Yue claimed Ye Xiu was a master of strategy, Lin Feng had been deeply disdainful. Now it seems that Ye Xiu isn’t just a master of strategy, but a true schemer, a cunning manipulator.

"Wait a minute!" A spark of realization flashed through Lin Feng’s mind. "The only outsider who knew that Qiao Beiming and I were here on a mission was Ming Yue. Could it be..."

"Exactly," Ye Xiu interrupted. "I was the one who arranged for Ming Yue to be by Kristina’s side."

Just as I thought! Lin Feng’s expression changed dramatically as he realized the Princess had a ticking time bomb like Ming Yue beside her. He immediately abandoned the sword held between Ye Xiu’s two fingers and turned to flee. He had to tell the Princess and Qiao Beiming about Ye Xiu’s true strength and Ming Yue’s identity as an Undercover Agent; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Thinking of running now? It’s too late!" With a flick of his fingers, the sword held between Ye Xiu’s index and middle finger shot out. It flashed four times in quick succession, severing the tendons in Lin Feng’s hands and feet and sending him sprawling to the ground.

This scene was a great psychological shock to Tang Bo, An Dongye, the Dongfang Family, and the people from the Medicine King Valley. An Dongye and the members of the Medicine King Valley, in particular, had personally experienced how terrifying the defense of Iron-Clad Skin was. Yet in Ye Xiu’s hands, Lin Feng’s Iron-Clad Skin seemed as fragile as paper-mache.

So Ye Xiu’s strength is this terrifying... Tang Bo and the others were secretly dumbfounded.

"Lin Feng, do you see the gap between us now?" Ye Xiu casually drew Lin Feng’s sword back into his hand and walked unhurriedly toward him.

"Don’t come over! Stay back! Don’t kill me, please..." Lin Feng screamed in panic, his courage utterly shattered. Lying on the ground, he squirmed like a worm, trying to crawl away despite the severed tendons in his limbs.

I’m truly terrified by his power. At the same time, he felt ashamed for having always looked down on Ye Xiu. If only I had taken him seriously from the start, I wouldn’t have ended up in this miserable state.

"And you call yourself a Prince and a politician. To think you’re so afraid of death," Ye Xiu said with contempt as he stepped on Lin Feng’s back.

The pressure on his back sent a chill down Lin Feng’s spine. Without even looking, he could guess that Ye Xiu had already raised the Butcher’s Knife to end his life. He was about to beg for mercy, no longer caring about the insult.

"Second Prince, we’re here!" Just then, a vast number of Martial Artists from the Eternal Kingdom surged into the backyard of the Wu Family Fortress from all directions. Seeing this, Lin Feng was ecstatic and yelled, "Quick, save me!"

The arriving Martial Artists were stunned. Didn’t Qiao Beiming text us to help the Second Prince kill Ye Xiu and wash the Wu Family Fortress in blood? How did it turn into rescuing the Second Prince? If even the Second Prince is no match for him, how could we possibly defeat Ye Xiu?

However, they knew full well that if Lin Feng died, they would all be buried with him. "Kill them! Rescue the Second Prince!" Despite their hesitation, the swarm of Martial Artists charged toward Ye Xiu, Tang Bo, and the others.

"These people aren’t strong. You can handle them!" Ye Xiu told Tang Bo and the rest. With that, he led the charge.

Hearing that the enemy was weak, the fear Tang Bo and his group felt upon seeing such large numbers vanished instantly, and they all launched their attacks.

It’s just as Ye Xiu said! The strength of these two thousand or so Martial Artists really isn’t much! They were all Fourth Rank individuals from the Eternal Kingdom, meaning they possessed the talent for Cultivation but had not inherited Totems or Special Abilities. While their ranks were similar to Tang Bo’s group, their actual combat strength was lacking.

"Haha, now this is a satisfying fight! It’s not like fighting Qiao Beiming and Lin Feng, where we couldn’t even damage them," Tang Bo roared with unrestrained joy, his long spear dancing through the enemy ranks as if he were in a realm of his own.

"Too weak! They can’t take a hit!" An Dongye executed her dizzying Leg Techniques while her sniper rifle remained active, taking out one enemy with every shot. Using a sniper rifle in close-quarters combat like this, An Dongye was truly one of a kind.

However, when they saw the dashing way Ye Xiu wielded his sword, they all fell silent for a moment. Compared to him, their speed was ultimately too slow.

"In the art of showing off, I bow to no one but Ye Xiu," Dong Fangbai said with immense admiration. To him, Ye Xiu was the benchmark, the idol, and the ultimate goal on his own path of showmanship.

"Kill them! Kill them all!" Lin Feng howled, but he himself activated his Purple Pupil, controlling two swords to lift him into the air in an attempt to escape.

"Where do you think you’re going?" Ye Xiu struck from a distance with his palm. Lin Feng fell to the ground with a thud. Ye Xiu’s voice was cold as he warned, "Try to run again, and I’ll end you!"

Lin Feng: "..."

「...」

Qiao Beiming carried Kristina back to Unparalleled Mountain and then woke her.

"Elder Qiao?" Kristina was stunned to see Qiao Beiming upon waking. "Wasn’t I captured by Meng Yinwan? How did..."

"This is what happened..." Qiao Beiming explained everything.

After listening, Kristina’s delicate face twisted with rage. "That bastard Ye Xiu has been deceiving me for so long!" she spat through gritted teeth. "I’m going to the Wu Family Fortress to kill him with my own hands."

Qiao Beiming quickly stopped her. "Princess, Ye Xiu is likely already dead at Lin Feng’s hands. If you go now, you will only find his corpse. Besides, you have something far more important to do."

"What is it?" Kristina asked.

"Lin Feng and I both tried to call our country, but all the calls failed to connect," Qiao Beiming said. "I believe something major has happened back home. You must return personally."

"Is that true?" Kristina was shocked. She quickly took out her phone to call her father. The call didn’t go through. She tried a dozen more numbers, but none connected.

"Something has indeed happened!" Kristina frowned. "Alright, I’ll return immediately. On the way, I’ll personally slaughter Qin Qing and Leng Yue."

"Good. I will escort you to the airport," Qiao Beiming said.

The two started down the mountain when Kristina’s phone suddenly rang. The caller ID showed it was Ming Yue. Kristina answered at once, her voice filled with excitement. "Ming Yue, you’re alive! That’s wonderful! I thought Meng Yinwan had killed you."

"Wait, was it Meng Yinwan who knocked me out?" Ming Yue said. "Someone found me unconscious on the roadside outside the mall and took me to the hospital. Are you alright, Princess? Meng Yinwan didn’t harm you, did she?" Ming Yue’s feigned confusion and her worried tone were perfectly executed.

"I’m fine," Kristina said. "Head to the airport right away. We’ll meet there, and I’ll explain everything."

"What are we going to the airport for?" Ming Yue asked.

"I’ll tell you when we meet," Kristina said mysteriously before hanging up.

Qiao Beiming saw that Kristina intended to take Ming Yue back to the Eternal Kingdom, but he said nothing to stop her.
