"Mr. Qi, I am but a junior, and if you and I were to engage, it might draw criticism from others, so..." Ye Xiao smiled at Qi Xianglin, leaving his words unfinished but his meaning clear.
At this moment, Qi Xianglin had no intention of listening to Ye Xiao. With anger on his face, he glared at Ye Xiao and said, "A man of smooth words and deceit, I actually want to see how much skill you have since you could drive him to death."
"Him?" Ye Xiao listened to Qi Xianglin, smiled slightly, and said, "I suppose the 'him' Mr. Qi is referring to must be Liu Shixun. I never forced anyone to death, but Liu Shixun teamed up with the Zhao family's Zhao Guangyi, taking a friend of this junior as a hostage, intending to kill me, Ye Xiao. I've already said in the main hall, if people do not offend me, I will not offend them. Moreover, Liu Shixun indeed took his own life."
"Zhao Guangyi?" Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Qi Xianglin burst into laughter and said, "Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao, you indeed regard yourself too highly. Are you trying to tell me that you alone could make these two people commit suicide together?"
"No, no, no, Liu Shixun indeed committed suicide, Zhao Guangyi did not; he was killed," Ye Xiao earnestly said.
"Killed?" Qi Xianglin inquired, "Killed by whom?"
"Killed by me!" Ye Xiao replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Qi Xianglin couldn't help but look Ye Xiao up and down, chuckling as he said, "What did you say? You killed Zhao Guangyi? You, killed Zhao Guangyi?"
Ye Xiao did not show any displeasure at Qi Xianglin's disdain; on the contrary, he said, "Mr. Qi's understanding is not incorrect, that is exactly what I meant."
"Nonsense!" Qi Xianglin immediately shouted, "Who do you think you are? You think you have the ability to kill Zhao Guangyi? To drive Liu Shixun to suicide? I see you are just an arrogant brat."
"Senior, do you think we are very familiar with each other?" Ye Xiao looked at Qi Xianglin.
"Not familiar!"
"So, why would I joke with you?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Xianglin's face, originally mocking, became angry once more.
"Today, I really want to see, just based on you, how you managed to kill them." Initially, Qi Xianglin thought Jiang Wuqi took Ye Xiao, this little kid, too seriously. However, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words after he arrived, he grew even more displeased. After all, although he was not in frequent contact with Liu Shixun, he had previously received kindness from him, so Qi Xianglin felt he needed to demand an explanation for Liu Shixun. Yet, in the end, Ye Xiao claimed he killed Zhao Guangyi.
Liu Shixun and Zhao Guangyi, what kind of people are they? In Bird City, they can definitely be counted among the top martial artists. But these two top martial artists were killed by Ye Xiao, this young brat? How is that possible, and moreover, Ye Xiao said these two conspired against him.
This made Qi Xianglin feel even more incredulous.
Did Liu Shixun and Zhao Guangyi need to team up to deal with Ye Xiao?
Coupling it with Jiang Wuqi's prior praise of Ye Xiao, Qi Xianglin couldn't help but want to test this young boy in front of him.
Just as Qi Xianglin finished speaking, his entire being transformed into a green afterimage, disappearing from the spot. Some of the Jiang family members present were dumbfounded; usually, it's not that they haven't seen battles between Xuan Rank martial artists, but Earth Rank martial artists' duels are rare, and with the level of cultivation the Jiang family martial artists possessed, it was absolutely impossible to keep up with these Earth Rank martial artists' speed.
At this moment, the only ones who could clearly see Qi Xianglin's movements were likely just two people, Jiang Wuqi and Ye Xiao.
Jiang Wuqi knew Ye Xiao's strength was not lacking, but he still felt skeptical about Ye Xiao's claim that he killed Zhao Guangyi. After all, the last time Zhao Guangyi tried to kill Ye Xiao, it was Jiang Wuqi who intervened to save Ye Xiao from a disaster. Later, even though he knew Zhao Guangyi was constantly preparing to deal with Ye Xiao, he felt a bit helpless, as Ye Xiao was not a member of the Jiang family.
However, Jiang Wuqi found it hard to believe that Ye Xiao killed Zhao Guangyi. Even though Ye Xiao was exceptional, he was still young. The last time Zhao Guangyi faced off against Ye Xiao one-on-one, it was Jiang Wuqi who intervened, saving him. If Ye Xiao could kill Zhao Guangyi, he would likely have taken action then.
So, at this moment, Jiang Wuqi was also somewhat displeased with Ye Xiao's words. One can be a bit arrogant, a bit proud, but must not be blindly conceited.
Originally, Jiang Wuqi had the intention to stop Qi Xianglin, but now he didn't move because, in his view, letting Ye Xiao suffer a setback might not be a bad thing.
However, not even half a second after Qi Xianglin charged at Ye Xiao, Jiang Wuqi's face revealed astonishment.
Because he saw very clearly, when Qi Xianglin punched, Ye Xiao unexpectedly slid his foot, dodging to the side, successfully evading Qi Xianglin's strike.
Wind Shadow Steps?
Being well-informed, Jiang Wuqi immediately recognized that Ye Xiao's footwork was peculiar, quite similar to Wind Shadow Steps.
At this time, Qi Xianglin, having missed his strike, couldn't help but frown and, looking at Ye Xiao, asked, "Wind Shadow Steps?"
"Mr. Qi is indeed knowledgeable. This junior is indeed using the Fu family's Wind Shadow Steps," Ye Xiao replied with a smile, remaining polite to Qi Xianglin.
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Qi Xianglin immediately said disdainfully, "Fu family's Wind Shadow Steps? Humph, did Fu Tianjue tell you this, that impudent disciple of the Chengfeng Sect?"
Chengfeng Sect?
Ye Xiao knew that Yan Country had ten major martial arts sects, each extremely powerful, and within each sect, there were martial artists deemed monstrous. Although the Chengfeng Sect did not rank in the top five among these ten, compared to the martial artist families in Bird City, even the Jiang family is quite low-level.
Ye Xiao was somewhat knowledgeable about these ten major martial arts sects of Yan Country, but the specifics were not very familiar to him.
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Mr. Qi, we really shouldn't fight. After all, you are a senior, and for a junior like me to engage with you would be disrespectful. Moreover, if it gets out that I, Ye Xiao, have fought an elder, it would surely seem like bullying the old and young."
Ye Xiao's words had no sooner left his mouth when Qi Xianglin's face, already full of anger, became even more distorted.
"An arrogant youngster dares to look down on me? Today, I shall show you the consequences of having no regard for your elders!" Qi Xianglin angrily roared, rushing swiftly towards Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao was at a loss, smiling wryly. To be honest, he really did not intend to look down on Qi Xianglin, nor did he have no regard for his seniors. Although he was not seriously injured at the Liu family earlier, he was injured nonetheless. Therefore, he truly didn't want to make a move now, but he seemed to have no choice since Qi Xianglin was already upon him.
