Crossing the Sword

Chapter 157: A Helpless Battle

"It's not a misunderstanding!" Tang Yu said firmly again: "And Ye Shisan has the "Shennong Herbal Classic", so it's reasonable that he can cure the poison in Brother Wen. But I thought the poison was not difficult to cure, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But later when Sun Qing said that very few people knew about Banrixiang, I was basically sure that you are Ye Shisan!" After a pause, he smiled proudly and said: "Don't say this is a coincidence. If there are too many coincidences, it will no longer be a coincidence."

In fact, what really aroused Tang Yu's suspicion was not Sun Qing's statement about how few people knew about Banrixiang. Instead, it was Ling Fei's explanation in the end to make up for it. Although it was also reasonable, it was somewhat suspected of being an attempt to cover up the truth. However, he couldn't say that, otherwise it would be equivalent to indirectly saying that Ling Fei knew Ye Shisan's identity long ago. Although he believed that Ling Fei did know, it would be very disadvantageous to Ling Fei if he said it out loud. And Tang Yu still respected this general who had always led him.

The other three generals, hearing Tang Yu's words were reasonable and Ye Shisan no longer refuted, surrounded Ye Shisan. They each took out their weapons and waited for Ling Fei's order to capture the man immediately.

"Don't attack my brother." While speaking, Bai Yu had already summoned Tan Shang and Bai Yu Lun, standing in front of Ye Shisan, looking at the four generals with hostility.

Seeing her reaction, Ye Shisan knew that he could no longer hide his identity. Everything before was just Tang Yu's guess, and Ling Fei was the most likely person here. If he used the excuse of insufficient evidence to insist that Ye Shisan was not the person, then even if others believed Tang Yu's words, they would not dare to raise any objections.

But Bai Yu's actions were equivalent to acknowledging Ye Shisan's identity, and Ling Fei had no way to help her. However, her actions were not completely without benefits. The benefit was that her magic weapon was powerful, and in a fight, except for Ling Fei, no one else could resist her lightning. However, she had already used it once today, but her identity also made the other party dare not move. If she was really hurt, the Black Emperor would have to kill her whole family. None of them would think that in the Black Emperor's heart, they were more important than the diplomatic relations between Sanmiao and Taihao.

Seeing Bai Yu standing there and his men not daring to take action, Ling Fei immediately said: "No matter whether he is Ye Shisan or not, Princess Baiyu must not be hurt. You guys go." This was the last excuse he could find for Ye Shisan, and it was also a very useful excuse. Even if the Black Emperor asked, he would not support them hurting Bai Yu in order to capture Ye Shisan.

"Wait!" Tang Yu, the most loyal to the Black Emperor among the Five Elements, sneered at Ye Shisan, "Ye Shisan, I have always admired you as a master at solving cases, and you are also a very good person, and you also helped us to suppress bandits. But I didn't expect that your current performance is so disappointing to me. If you are still a man, don't hide behind a woman!" What he said before, some of his admiration for Ye Shisan, is indeed true. But he believes that Ye Shisan is the enemy of the Black Emperor, that is, the enemy of the entire Sanmiao Kingdom, so Ye Shisan must be taken down.

"Provocation?" Ye Shisan was also a little angry, and sneered, "Okay! Since you have the courage to provoke me, then dare to fight me one-on-one. I, Ye Shisan, promise that as long as you can withstand my ten moves and still fail to destroy me, I will let you take me back to Youdu and let Zhuanxu deal with me. How about that?"

"How dare you!" Tang Yu immediately shouted angrily upon hearing this: "Can you call the Black Emperor by his name? You should respectfully address him as His Majesty the Black Emperor!" In his opinion, no one can be disrespectful to the Black Emperor, even if he wants to kill you.

"That's your Black Emperor, I can't call him that!" Ye Shisan said as he stepped forward, forming a cross with the index finger of his left hand and the clasped autumn fan of his right hand, and said provocatively: "Stop talking nonsense, do you dare to take ten of my moves? Just ten moves. If you don't dare, shut your mouth!" As he spoke, the sword energy emanated uncontrollably, shocking some people with lower skills present, who dared not look him in the face.

Now everyone could see that Ye Shisan was really angry and murderous. No one would even doubt that if Tang Yu dared to nod, he would die miserably. Even Tang Yu himself had the same idea. He hurriedly avoided Zhang Tianya's murderous eyes and took a small step back uncontrollably. Then he immediately realized that he had lost face and took that small step back. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had lost the confidence to compete with Zhang Tianya.

Seeing that things had come to this, Ling Fei said helplessly: "So you are really Shisan? You have kept it a secret from me, but no matter what, the Black Emperor has ordered that you must go with me today. But don't worry, I will fight for justice for you in front of the Black Emperor." In fact, Ye Shisan had never hidden anything from him? But now that things had come to this, he had to say something. Although the Black Emperor would definitely know that he had known about it for a long time, this layer of window paper could not be broken.

Ye Shisan was already murderous, and continued to say aggressively: "Okay! As long as General Tang can take ten of my moves, what I said before will still count." While answering Ling Fei, he also tricked Tang Yu once again.

On one hand, there was a subordinate who had followed him for many years, and on the other hand, there was his best friend. He didn't want to see any of them get hurt. If Tang Yu lost, he would certainly be beaten by Ye Shisan and never be able to stand up again. But if Ye Shisan lost, he would have to follow them back to Youdu, and the ending would probably be even worse. It was no exaggeration to call this battle a duel of life and death.

Ling Fei took a deep breath helplessly, trying to buy some time to weigh the pros and cons. Finally, he said to Ye Shisan, "Shisan, Tang Yu is my subordinate after all, so I will take his place in this battle. As long as I can't defeat you within thirty moves, how about letting you leave?" His tone was full of helplessness. This result was what he least wanted to see. After saying that, he did not forget to wink at Bai Yu.

When Bai Yu saw Ling Fei winking at him, he was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Ye Shisan, who said, "What General Tang said just now is indeed right. As a man, you should not hide behind a woman. Brother Ling, we have known each other for so long, but I have never experienced your kung fu. How about we have a sparring match today?" He remembered Gong Gong's last words, so he felt that he should rely on himself to solve the problem now, instead of relying on Bai Yu's identity to help.

Everyone had no more objections and retreated fifty feet away, leaving enough space for the two to perform. Ling Fei sacrificed the Five Elements Armor and took out the Wuxiang Divine Spear. Ye Shisan was already standing on Sohu's head, and used the Earth Mang to create a set of rattan armor, with the Shangfang sword in his hand pointing at Ling Fei. It can be said that he had already used all his strength.

Two close friends met on the battlefield for the first time.
