Ling Hengyu leaned against the wall, struggling to stand, and turned toward the sound only to see Ye Xiao walking slowly towards him, holding a pink umbrella that completely mismatched his masculinity. At this moment, a smile spread across Ye Xiao's face, his eyes fixed on another man with a pale face!

"Speak, who are you?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile, looking at the pale-faced man, arrogance coloring his casual demeanor as he continued, "I do not kill nameless underlings!"

Seeing Ye Xiao's arrogance, the pale-faced man couldn't help but find it laughable. This young man, not even twenty years old, dared to speak so wildly. And yet, he, a mid-stage Xuan Rank expert, how could he be insulted by this youth?

"You milk-nosed brat, dare to be so arrogant here; have you not seen how I have rendered those two unable to move? Are you here seeking death now?" he retorted.

Ye Xiao shrugged his shoulders, smiling slightly, and said, "Life is short; why savor life or fear death? Life and death are but a thought away, so there's no need to take it so lightly!"

"Second brother, go twist his head off for me!" the pale-faced man said coldly, looking at Ye Xiao.

The burly man, hearing his older brother's words, glanced at Ye Xiao, noting his skinny frame barely totalling a hundred pounds—hardly worth gripping tightly.

"Brat, stand properly and see how I make your death enjoyable today!" the burly man said as he laughed heartily and quickly approached Ye Xiao!

Seeing the burly man approaching, Ye Xiao's face remained unfazed. No, that's not quite right. To say there was no change would be incorrect, for the smile on Ye Xiao's face was indeed growing.

Seeing the ever-increasing smile on Ye Xiao's face, the burly man felt a surge of anger. Was this guy actually not afraid after hearing his words, still smiling so happily? Was he really just telling him a joke? Or did he truly appear non-threatening?

The burly man suddenly snapped, his sturdy body lunging straight at Ye Xiao!

In an instant, the burly man reached in front of Ye Xiao, punching out while roaring like a loudspeaker, which almost burst the eardrums—truly an earth-shattering momentum!

However, in reality!

As he threw his punch, it did not actually land on Ye Xiao's face. Ye Xiao subtly shifted his stance, and naturally, the burly man's punch missed!

The burly man was momentarily shocked; however, he then thought that the young man must have just been lucky.

He threw another punch, swiftly aiming directly at Ye Xiao's forehead, this time reaching alarmingly close, but just at that moment, a surprising and dumbfounding event occurred—the fist nearly hitting Ye Xiao's head when Ye Xiao lightly raised his hand and effortlessly caught the burly man's hammer-like fist!

The burly man looked at Ye Xiao in astonishment, then tried to pull back his fist, but after two attempts, he realized that his fist, though usually solid, was clamped tightly by Ye Xiao's hand like a large clamp, no longer under his control!

The burly man was terrified, now realizing that he had truly underestimated this seemingly frail young man, who was not frail at all. In fact, this young man was not only strong but also seemed very powerful—at least in terms of strength!

Ye Xiao suddenly exerted force, and the burly man felt as though his fist was clamped by machinery, sweating profusely from the pain!

The burly man, realizing he was being dominated, quickly threw his other fist towards Ye Xiao's face, condensing a portion of Inner Power True Qi in his punch, which was evidently fierce!

Seeing this, a cold smirk flashed across Ye Xiao's lips; then his other hand also transformed from fist to palm, confronting fist with palm directly against the burly man!

Unbeknownst to the burly man, a flame flickered on Ye Xiao's palm the second before their hands met, the flame as real as any fire, and it burst into the burly man's fist!

Fire Demolishing Palm!

The moment Ye Xiao's Fire Demolishing Palm collided with the burly man's fist, the burly man felt his fingers searing as if burned, but before he could even react, a bubbling sound came from inside his arm—this was the palm power of Fire Demolishing Palm pouring into the burly man's arm, where Nine Yang True Qi's assertive energy was now wreaking havoc on every meridian and blood vessel in his arm!

"Ah..." The burly man screamed miserably, his arm emitting a dull noise, evidently marking the end of Fire Demolishing Palm's destructive power.

However, that final force also ruined the burly man's stout arm!

Seeing his second brother suddenly hurt, and even unable to see how it happened, the pale-faced man went pale with shock, immediately wanting to step forward, but just at that moment, Ye Xiao's expression turned icy, and with a fierce look, the hand that executed Fire Demolishing Palm suddenly transformed from palm to claw, fiercely grasping towards the burly man's heart!

```

Ah—

Another earth-shattering scream followed, and then blood appeared on Ye Xiao's right hand. At the same time, he pushed the brawny man away. The brawny man staggered a few steps and then fell headlong!

What?

The pale-faced man saw his own brother fall down and immediately rushed to his side, trying to pick him up. However, when he lifted his brother, he was shocked because the brawny man had already stopped breathing—he was dead!

Ye Xiao glanced at the now-dead brawny man and felt very satisfied with his fierce death!

If the brawny man hadn't died, that would have been odd, given that Ye Xiao had used his special move, the Fire Dragon Claw, which had pierced directly into the brawny man's heart!

Although it was a quick in and out, remember, that was a person's heart!

The heart is the gateway of life. If the heart is destroyed, how can a person still live?

Therefore, the brawny man's death was only natural!

"You actually killed my second brother!" The pale-faced man could hardly contain his tears as he glared at Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao was indifferent. He glanced at the pink umbrella resting against the wall; he had hurriedly placed it there just before, luckily it hadn't fallen over since it was still wet from the rain, otherwise it would be all muddy now!

Though Ye Xiao was not a particularly clean person, he was not filthy either!

Ye Xiao chuckled: "You're smart to have noticed that!"

"I'm going to kill you!" The pale-faced man was furious!

Ye Xiao simply shrugged and nodded: "Of course, avenging a brother is righteous. If I were you, I wouldn't be wasting time talking, I'd have already attacked!"

Hearing these words, the pale-faced man felt a surge of rage and threw a swift punch at Ye Xiao, which was extremely fast, but Ye Xiao was well-prepared, and with a push of his feet, he darted four to five meters away!

"Ha-ha, you're much stronger than your brother, but I don't think you can avenge him. I'm afraid not only will you fail to avenge your brother, you might also lose your life in the process!" Ye Xiao laughed loudly!

Ye Xiao's laughter was piercing in the ears of the pale-faced man, like Ye Xiao was deliberately provoking him. The pale-faced man quickly charged at Ye Xiao!

The pale-faced man moved incredibly fast, which Ye Xiao could clearly see. Although he spoke lightly, when it actually came to the confrontation, Ye Xiao didn't dare to be careless. Moreover, Ye Xiao was very clever; from the pale-faced man's speed, it was clear he was definitely of Xuan Rank, and even the brawny man who had just died was probably of Early Xuan Rank, while this man might have reached Middle Stage Xuan Rank!

The man launched a series of fierce attacks, and Ye Xiao dodged left and right, choosing not to counterattack immediately!

Ye Xiao was clever; the pale-faced man was grieving deeply and filled with momentum, showing his edge, and fighting him head-on would have been masochistic.

Thus, Ye Xiao relied on his well-practiced Wind Shadow Steps, moving back and forth with a grin on his face, making it impossible for the pale-faced man to find any pattern to his movements!

"Aren't you really planning to tell me your name?" Ye Xiao said with a smile: "Honestly, I really don't want to kill someone anonymous; it would damage my reputation!"

Damn it!

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, the pale-faced man felt even more insulted, like how could there be such a narcissistic person in this world, and overly so!

"My name is Wu Xinyuan, and today I must kill you to avenge my brother, telling you my name so that even if you are a ghost, you should come looking for me, and I'll still take you down!" Wu Xinyuan, furious, began to use Inner Power True Qi for a fierce attack on Ye Xiao!

Wu Xinyuan's attack speed was indeed fast, and after dodging for dozens of rounds, Ye Xiao learned his opponent's real name, so he felt unencumbered; his hands suddenly transformed into claws and he clawed fiercely at Wu Xinyuan's throat!

Though Wu Xinyuan was also of Middle Stage Xuan Rank, and slightly above Ye Xiao in terms of realm, his reaction was not much worse than Ye Xiao's!

However, Ye Xiao's Fire Dragon Claw attacks were wicked and fierce, so in just a few rounds, Wu Xinyuan's clothes were tattered in several places, showing signs of blood!
