Chapter 501: Chapter 38 Bow Your Head Under My Blade (7K+ for Monthly Ticket)_4

His strike hadn’t originally been directed at Li Fei’s vital points, but now that Li Fei was rushing forward headfirst, there was a real possibility he could be killed by it!

This Martial Arts Master, even with ten thousand guts, wouldn’t dare to kill an Envoy personally appointed by Your Majesty right on the street.

Moreover, Li Fei had taken over the ‘Lifespan Extension Pill’ case, which Zhi Ge Pavilion considered a hot potato; the entire Zhi Ge Pavilion might even be celebrating now.

If Li Fei suddenly died at this moment, with no one to take over the case, this Martial Arts Master would absolutely be detested to the bone by Zhi Ge Pavilion!

So, he hurriedly redirected his Fist Gang, which just grazed past Li Fei’s forehead as it flew away.

Li Fei was not at all surprised. He turned to look at the Eldest Prince, who was still somewhat in shock, his eyes revealing an extremely fierce expression!

The anger that had been building in his heart since the court session this morning completely erupted at this moment:

He suddenly lifted a leg and viciously kicked the Eldest Prince in the chest!

Bang—

The Eldest Prince was kicked away like a cannonball, completely flying out of the Dueling Platform and landing on the ground.

“Your Highness!”

The Martial Arts Master, who had just retracted an attack, paled with fright and immediately rushed to check on the Eldest Prince.

The Eldest Prince was not injured, there was just an obvious footprint on his chest.

Compared to the physical damage, it was the humiliation that came with this kick and what Li Fei had just said that truly wounded him!

His eyes instantly turned blood-red, and with a ferocious face, he pointed at Li Fei:

“Kill him for me!!!!”

Inside the ‘Golden Dragon’ armored vehicle nearby, the Third Prince also changed his expression dramatically and quickly said to Little Hua in the front seats,

“Quick, stop them!”

As his words fell, Little Hua instantly disappeared within the vehicle.

The next second, when the Martial Arts Master was still hesitating about whether to persuade the Eldest Prince or not, a figure suddenly stepped in front of him.

It was Little Hua!

“Big Brother—”

The Third Prince’s voice was heard, he came out of the vehicle, shouting while running towards them,

“Big Brother, it’s me!”

The Martial Arts Master beside the Eldest Prince secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

With the Third Prince intervening, and with the Martial Arts Master by his side to act as a blockade, he wouldn’t need to take action, and the Eldest Prince could also descend the stage with dignity.

“Big Brother, are you alright?”

The Third Prince ran all the way to the Eldest Prince, asking with concern, while gently patting away the footprint on his chest.

The Eldest Prince’s face was still somber as he pushed the Third Prince away:

“Qin Ziyuan, what do you mean by this?”

The Third Prince’s smile remained on his face, “I heard Big Brother was here sparring with someone, and I was curious, so I came to have a look. Does Big Brother not welcome me?”

The Eldest Prince pointed at Little Hua standing in front, and said sharply, “Get your person out of the way!”

The Third Prince grabbed the Eldest Prince’s arm, stepped forward, and whispered,

“Big Brother, I’m doing this for your own good; you can’t kill him today.”

After speaking, he gave a glance toward another direction.

Following his gaze, the Eldest Prince saw a middle-aged man dressed in dark blue official robes embroidered with stars, who had appeared at the street corner at some unknown time.

The man gave a respectful salutation when the Eldest Prince looked over,

“This official pays respects to Your Highness, Third Prince.”

The Eldest Prince gritted his teeth, “Luo Shi! What are you doing here?”

The man named Luo Shi, a Zhi Ge Pavilion cabinet minister at level 16, was also a Martial Arts Master!

“Loyally reporting to Your Highness, this official has been ordered to take someone away.”

Luo Shi spoke neither servilely nor overbearingly, then turned his head to give Li Fei, who was still standing on the Dueling Platform, a somewhat complicated glance.

Clearly, he was here for Li Fei!

Li Fei was not at all taken aback by this.

Today, even if the Third Prince hadn’t come, or if the Third Prince hadn’t ordered someone to take action, he wouldn’t have been worried about his own safety.

At this time of day, Zhi Ge Pavilion had a thousand reasons not to let anything happen to him!

“Seeing as Your Highness did not concede just now and in my eagerness to claim victory, I unintentionally kicked Your Highness off the platform. I hope Your Highness will not take offense.”

Li Fei stood on the platform, giving a bow to the Eldest Prince.

Now, he had returned to being dignified and polite, completely devoid of the exceedingly fierce demeanor he had moments before.

If not for the extremely presumptuous words he had spoken earlier, seeing him now, looking so sincere, one might actually believe that he was just too eager to win and couldn’t help kicking the Eldest Prince off the platform.

The Eldest Prince’s complexion turned from green to red, and after staring intently at Li Fei for a long time, he ground out through clenched teeth,

“Li Fei, you did well!”

With that, he turned and left.

Not far away, the group of journalists that the Eldest Prince had summoned stood frozen for a while before suddenly coming to their senses and hastily retreating.

After the Eldest Prince got into his car and left, the Third Prince turned his head to look at Li Fei, sizing him up and down as if he were seeing him for the first time.

With a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, he began, “This doesn’t seem like the demeanor of someone who wishes to stay out of the fray.”

If one didn’t want to get involved in the princes’ struggle, why go out of one’s way to deeply offend a prince?

Li Fei calmly responded, “Your Highness once said something to me, and the more I think about it, the more sense it makes.”

“Oh? Which words?” the Third Prince asked curiously.

“Your Highness said, ‘Princes are also humans.'”

Li Fei locked eyes with the Third Prince and said word by word, “I am human too.”

“…”

The Third Prince was stunned by Li Fei’s words for quite some time before he suddenly burst into laughter, “Haha, hahaha—”

He raised his hand, pointing at Li Fei, leaving behind a sentence that was exactly like what the Eldest Prince had said, “Li Fei, you’re good!”

Then he turned around, still laughing, and left.

Little Hua followed him, and the two got back into the ‘Golden Dragon’ car.

The Third Prince, still sitting in the back seat, couldn’t stop laughing, “It’s been a long time since I’ve met someone so interesting.”

Little Hua’s face was expressionless, she didn’t respond, just focused on driving.

“Little Hua, do you know why he was so brazen today?” the Third Prince asked.

Little Hua thought for a moment and said uncertainly, “Because he is also a human?”

The Third Prince paused and then laughed heartily again, “Hahahaha—”

He laughed until tears came to his eyes.

Little Hua waited expressionless for him to finish laughing.

The Third Prince wiped the corners of his eyes, “That might be one reason, but it’s not the main one. Today, I told him that this investigation was actually a great opportunity. He doesn’t trust me, so he didn’t take my word for it.

Exactly at that moment, my elder brother challenged him to a fight, so he used the opportunity to test the reactions from above, wanting to see whose words were true—mine or the Crown Prince’s? That’s the main reason for his boldness.”

“I don’t understand,” Little Hua shook her head decisively.

The Third Prince didn’t mind, “It’s alright, all you need to know is that this person who ranks first in history is not only skilled in martial arts, but he is also sharp-witted. It’s hard to believe he is only 18 years old!”

“Oh,” Little Hua nodded her head.

The Third Prince laughed again, “Little Hua, do you think you’ll still be able to kill him in five years?”

Little Hua considered this seriously and then said, “Probably not.”

Then she added, “But that’s assuming he lives that long.”

The Third Prince was taken aback, then nodded, “Hmm, you’ve rarely said something I cannot refute.”

A brilliant smile suddenly bloomed across Little Hua’s face.

…

Inside another ‘Golden Dragon’ car, the Eldest Prince, Qin Zihong, felt a humiliation like never before in his life!

His face darkened as he sat in the back seat, repeatedly recalling the scene when he had exchanged blows with Li Fei.

All the images finally froze on the kick that Li Fei had delivered.

For some reason, the Eldest Prince suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

All the onlookers at the scene only heard what Li Fei had said, “If it weren’t for that surname, you’d spend your life bowing before my blade!”

But actually, that wasn’t what angered the Eldest Prince the most.

No one knew that, as Li Fei delivered that kick, he also transmitted his words with a surge of force directly to the Eldest Prince’s ear.

Li Fei’s voice thundered in the Eldest Prince’s ear alone, “What does it matter if you bear the surname Qin?!”

This chapter combines two in one, seeking a monthly ticket.

Note 1: I’ve found that sometimes when writing about ‘strength’ and ‘force,’ readers can get confused, so I’ll clarify here: A martial artist’s strength mainly divides into two parts, physical strength and force. The majority of martial artists rely on force during combat. Previously, because the protagonist had ‘Blood Rage’ enhancing his physical strength, he could stand toe-to-toe against opponents with superior force and even gain the upper hand.
