Chapter 605 Duan Tianya's Doubts
According to the performance in the original work, the overall strength of Duan Tianya and Wuhuan should be almost the same.

The situation at this time was that Duan Tianya, as a secret agent of the Imperial Palace, had already noticed the strangeness of the envoy of Izumo Kingdom, Karasuma.

Not long after the Queen Mother disappeared in the palace, the envoy from Izumo suddenly appeared at the Hulong Villa and displayed extremely powerful strength.

It would be too far-fetched to say that there is no connection between the two and that everything is just a coincidence.

Therefore, Duan Tianya would naturally not let Wuhuan go easily, and would try his best to capture it.

But for Wu Wan, he was very clear about his true identity and the purpose of this trip, and he also knew the relationship between Duan Tianya and Zhao Wusi.

Therefore, when fighting with Duan Tianya, he couldn't help but have some concerns in his heart and was unable to exert his full strength.

"No matter who you are, trespassing into the Hulong Villa is a serious crime. As a secret agent of the Imperial Palace, I am only fulfilling my duty by arresting you. Even if His Majesty knows about this, no matter what happens, I have a clear conscience."

As Duan Tianya spoke, he chopped down with his sword without any mercy, aiming directly at Wuhuan's neck.

Wuhuan felt the power of his sword, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

At this time, the plot of "The World's Number One" is still in its initial stage, and Duan Tianya's strength has not yet reached its peak. In fact, if he really wants to fight a life-and-death battle with Wu Wan, he is still half a step short.

"Since you don't know what's good for you and insist on making things difficult for me, you can't blame me!"

Wu Wan narrowly avoided Duan Tianya's knife, knowing that if he continued like this, he would be injured soon.

After all, his strength is only slightly stronger than Duan Tianya's, and the two can basically be regarded as masters of the same level.

When masters of the same level clash, the slightest negligence may lead to a change in the entire battle situation, let alone being cautious and not daring to use all their strength?
Wu Wan was certainly afraid of Zhao Wusi, and therefore wary of Duan Tianya, but when facing a life-and-death crisis, he didn't care too much.

In a battle where one careless mistake could result in one's death, there is no room for holding back!

As he spoke, his internal energy surged throughout his body, his grey exotic robe rustled, and his entire right arm suddenly glowed with a faint red light in the night.

"kill!"

Wu Wan roared, and a bright red light appeared on his right palm, like a burning flame.

Then, a fiery red knife light flew out from his palm, like a red lightning, slashing towards Duan Tianya.

"Wow, this Fire Cloud Sword is several feet away from the body. It's a bit beyond martial arts and has a touch of fantasy."

Chai Xin was hiding in the tree canopy and observing the fight between the two men. When he saw Wu Wan's palm, he immediately recognized its origin.

He had read the original novel and knew that this was the "Fire Cloud Sword Palm Technique" that only appeared once in the entire play.

"I wonder which one is stronger, Jiumozhi's 'Flame Blade' or this 'Fire Cloud Blade'... and is there any connection between the two?"

While Chai Xin was thinking, he saw Duan Tianya was hit by Wuhuan's Fire Cloud Sword without any warning.

The powerful strength that suddenly burst out from Wuhuan at this moment made it seem as if he had been deliberately hiding his weakness before, causing Duan Tianya to be unable to react in a hurry.

"boom!"

Duan Tianya was hit by a palm between the chest and abdomen, and a palm mark was immediately burned on his black clothes. At the same time, a burnt smell began to emanate from his abdomen.

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his originally calm expression turned pale in an instant.

"Fire Cloud Sword Palm Technique? How can a person like you from Izumo know my Central Plains martial arts? Who are you?"

Duan Tianya tightly grasped the long sword in his hand. Although he was seriously injured, he did not show any fear at all, and his expression remained firm and calm.

He was carefully trained by Zhao Wusi since he was young and could be said to be truly regarded as his adopted son and successor. Later, he was sent to Japan to learn the phantom sword, and his knowledge of martial arts was extensive.

Chai Xin didn't know the true origin of the Fire Cloud Sword, but he was able to reveal it in one sentence.

This is normal. Although Chai Xin has read the original novel, the original novel is just a TV series after all, and the information it contains is very limited.

Moreover, he has only been in this world for less than half a year, and his knowledge of this world basically comes from the novels and film and television works he read in his previous life.

"Who I am is not something you should consider. Leave now. If you still insist on not changing your ways, don't blame others if you die here."

Karasuma did not pursue the victory, but stood there with his hands behind his back, speaking with a warning look on his face.

"Are you afraid of my identity as a secret agent, so you don't want to kill me? Logically, you should show mercy, and I shouldn't insist on making things difficult for you. But... why did you sneak into the Hulong Villa?"

For Duan Tianya, the significance of Hulong Villa is self-evident.

Even he himself might not realize that even the status of the palace in his heart could not be compared with that of the Huolong Villa.

A master like Wu Wan actually sneaked into Huolong Villa. What was his intention?
If Karasuma is related to the kidnapping of the Queen Mother, then what is the connection between these two events?
I have to say that Duan Tianya is indeed a smart man.

Given Karasuma's identity and the mission he was tasked with, he absolutely should not have gone to Hulong Villa.

Due to the appearance of Chai Xin, the plot has undergone a major deviation.

A whole group of subordinates were annihilated, and their cultivation was destroyed. No one knew what happened to them...

The strangeness of this matter was such that even a ruthless and determined person like Karasuma couldn't help but feel a little panic.

Therefore, he decided to secretly seek an audience with Zhao Wusi - although he was also very clear how risky it was to meet Zhao Wusi under such circumstances.

This risk comes not only from the Song Dynasty court, but also from Zhao Wusi himself.

Zhao Wusi sent them to kidnap the Queen Mother, which was something extremely secretive and he definitely didn't want anyone to find out.

If the critical moment really came when the secret might be leaked, given the character of this Iron-hearted God King, he would rather kill Wuhuan and others with his own hands than let that happen.

Therefore, Wu Wan took the risk of sneaking into the Huolong Villa to meet with Zhao Wusi, which was an extremely dangerous act.

The most terrifying thing is that his whereabouts were really exposed, and it was exposed in the Huolong Villa, and the discoverer was the number one spy, Duan Tianya!
It can be said that Karasuma’s current situation is extremely dangerous.

If Zhao Wusi's secret was leaked because of his behavior, he would definitely die, and die a very miserable death.

So, although Karasuma seems calm now, he is actually very panicked inside.

He now faces a dilemma: first, kill Duan Tianya to prevent his relationship with Zhao Wushi from being revealed. But if Zhao Wushi finds out, he will most likely be killed. The three spies are the adopted sons of the Iron-hearted God King, and this is known to everyone.

Second, let Duan Tianya go.

But if he did so, his relationship with Zhao Wushi would be exposed. At that time, Zhao Wushi would still not let him go...

"Given his personality, I'm afraid no matter what choice I make, the final outcome will not be good... Perhaps. Should I kill Duan Tianya and immediately flee the territory of the Song Dynasty?"

At this point, Karasuma was on the verge of collapse.

If the fight between him and Duan Tianya were under normal circumstances, the chances of winning or losing would probably be 60:40.

After all, although Duan Tianya's strength is slightly inferior to his, it is only slightly inferior, and overall they are still on par with each other.

If it really comes to a life-and-death fight, it is really hard to say who will win or lose in the end.

But the situation is different now. Duan Tianya has suffered serious injuries due to his previous misjudgment of Wuhuan's strength.

If Karasuma chooses to fight for his life at this time, the probability of winning is probably more than 80%.

The probability of killing Duan Tianya is over 60%.

"I didn't want to kill you, but you were so aggressive and refused to give me any leeway... Very good, now you have finally pushed both of us into a desperate situation. I have no choice but to kill you."

As he spoke, Wu Wan's eyes gradually narrowed, and his tone was so cold that it seemed to come from the depths of the underworld.

His transformation immediately made Duan Tianya feel even more strange.

He seemed unwilling to fight with me before, how come he suddenly became determined to fight to the death?
What exactly happened between these two attitudes?
Duan Tianya remained silent. While his eyes were fixed on Wu Wan, his brain was working rapidly, trying to recall what had happened in the short period of time just now.

"It seems to be because of the question I just asked? Could it be that... he really has a connection with the Hulong Villa? If so, why can't he just say it openly?"

Thinking about this, Duan Tianya's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He vaguely felt that he had grasped a key factor, and felt that the key factor was very scary to him, but he could not make it clear for the time being.

"Don't think about it anymore. In many cases, the truth will only bring danger. As a secret agent, you should know this better than most people, right?"

Wu Wan took a step forward slowly, and the murderous aura in his body was condensed to the extreme, almost turning into substance.

The Imperial Secret Agents are often ordered to investigate the truth of various matters. In this process, it is indeed as Karasuma said, full of dangers beyond imagination.

"But, pursuing the truth is my duty as a secret agent... Especially when I know that the truth will affect the safety of the court! Even if I know there is a tiger in the mountain, I will go there!"

Duan Tianya was unable to discern the truth of the matter for a moment, but his inner commitment to the truth never wavered.

Ever since he could remember, his adoptive father had taught him to be a person with a broad mind, benevolent and righteous, loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

I have to say that Zhao Wusi can be said to be an all-rounder.

Not only was he a man of great military and literary talents, he was also quite successful in raising his adopted son.

Any one of the three secret agents of the Huolong Villa can be regarded as the best among his peers in terms of martial arts, character, or bearing.

However, his ultimate failure was actually due to the fact that his education was too successful.

Duan Tianya, Gui Hai Yidao and Shangguan Haitang, these three young men were actually educated by him to become heroes who are loyal to the emperor, patriotic, benevolent and kind, and have the world in their hearts!
But the most crucial point is... he, Zhao Wusi, is not such a person!
At the very least, he is not a loyal person, nor is he a kind and benevolent person!

When he was training his adopted sons, he forgot to tell them the truth: I, your adoptive father, plan to rebel and become emperor myself!
Tricked the children into becoming your enemies!
This operation looks so sexy no matter how you look at it.

We can't blame the three adopted sons for being ungrateful. After all, the values ​​that Zhao Wushi instilled in them since childhood were to be loyal to the emperor, patriotic, benevolent and kind.

My goodness, you have taught us all our lives to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but in the end you jump out and say that you are a long-planned rebel leader!

This is like a little devil living in China, and educating his children to love China all day long, but in fact it is to hide his evil intentions towards China...

But what if he really jumps out one day and tells the children that we are all Japanese devils and we have to bully China together!
How could his children accept this?
There are only two possible outcomes for unacceptable results...either destroying themselves or destroying those who subvert their values.

With Duan Tianya's wisdom, he might have thought of the key to the matter at this moment.

But a certain voice in his heart had been quietly stopping him from uncovering the mystery.

Wu Wan kidnapped the Queen Mother and appeared in Hulong Villa soon after. When he was discovered, his first reaction was so strange...

"Duan Tianya, I will send you to hell today. You forced me to do this!"

Wu Wan suddenly roared, and his whole body was like a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

His right palm was as red as fire, as if it was burning in flames, and like a falling comet, it smashed heavily towards Duan Tianya.

"Want to kill me? I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"

Duan Tianya wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, drew out the long sword in his hand, and like a crescent moon, it splashed silver light all over the sky and pounced towards the fire.

"when!"

When the palm collided with the long sword, a sound like the collision of metals actually broke out.

Duan Tianya only felt an unstoppable internal force from the long sword crashing into his arms, and the blood in his body, which had already been unable to calm down, immediately became more agitated.

The powerful impact caused his legs to retreat rapidly and uncontrollably, and every inch of the ground he stepped on was cracked like a spider web.

"Hahaha! Duan Tianya, you asked for this!"

Wuhuan roared like a giant beast and rushed forward again, wanting to completely suppress Duan Tianya and kill him in one go.

Duan Tianya's injuries became more and more serious. For a while, he was beaten to the point where he could only defend himself, and blood spurted out like crazy.

Soon, his face was as pale as paper and he was gasping for breath.

"Duan Tianya is a gentleman worth making friends with. Most importantly, I still need him to subvert the plot... Forget it, let's save him."

Wuhuan chopped Duan Tianya's shoulder with his Fire Cloud Sword again, causing him to spit out blood again. His whole body was shaky and he could hardly stand.

Chai Xin no longer stood by and watched. He lightly stepped his right foot on the tree branch, and the whole person flew into the sky like a roc. In an instant, he flew over ten feet away and pounced on Wuhuan, who was already on the verge of victory!
