Li Dachui was obviously stronger than Wu Xinyuan, who had previously faced off against Ye Xiao.
Li Dachui missed his kick but, instead of showing his annoyance from before, he burst out laughing and said to Ye Xiao, "Indeed, you're worth thirty million Northern Federation Coins!"
Upon hearing Li Dachui's sudden remark, Ye Xiao was a bit baffled. Could it be that someone had put a price on his life? And thirty million Northern Federation Coins at that, which was equivalent to two hundred million Yan Country Coins. When had he become so valuable?
Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and responded, "I'm worth that much money? Can you tell me who it is? I'll just kill myself, and then you can buy all thirty million Northern Federation Coins' worth of gold to bury with me, how about that?"
"Who would've thought, you're actually quite the money-grubber. But, I won't be giving you the thirty million," said Li Dachui, his words laced with utter disdain. Clearly, since Ye Xiao had been dodging continuously, Li Dachui believed that Ye Xiao wasn't that strong!
Hearing Li Dachui's words, Ye Xiao inwardly snickered. Another self-important character? Why did all Martial Artists these days think they were the best in the world?
While Ye Xiao acknowledged from Li Dachui's attacks that Li Dachui had remarkable strength, nearing Late-stage Xuan Rank, he had to admit, honestly, it was indeed good. However, if someone thought they could kill him with near Late-stage Xuan Rank abilities, it was definitely impossible!
Nevertheless, Ye Xiao didn't dare to be careless. Hearing Li Dachui's words made him all the more cautious. Given his and Li Dachui's strength, if they were to use their signature abilities, the school building would probably rock back and forth three times over. If the ordinary students witnessed the existence of Martial Artists, how would they be able to continue their studies properly? Besides, Martial Artists, like the people with supernatural abilities from legends, would cause a significant impact on society once discovered by ordinary people, which would be extremely detrimental to social stability!
Ye Xiao looked at Li Dachui and said, "This place is too cramped for a fight. Do you dare to fight in a more spacious place?"
Li Dachui burst into laughter and replied, "Trying to play tricks? You're still too green!"
"Heh, so you're scared then? If you want to find Ling Shuya, you'd better follow me!" Without another word, Ye Xiao darted toward the end of the corridor, with Li Dachui hesitating briefly. They had come like bandits to abduct Ling Shuya, and they couldn't linger in that place. But now that Ling Shuya had left, Li Dachui didn't know where Ye Xiao might have taken her, so he had no choice but to quickly follow him!
Although Ye Xiao possessed the Wind Shadow Steps, Li Dachui was a notch stronger, hence Ye Xiao didn't have much of an advantage in speed.
Ye Xiao sprinted to the end of the corridor and then leaped straight into the rain. Li Dachui, bold from his high skill, didn't even think before jumping into the rain as well. After Ye Xiao jumped, he immediately ran through the rain, heading straight for the sports field. At this moment, the rain was pouring heavily. If they fought on the field, ordinary people wouldn't see them unless they came to the field. And with the rain coming down so hard, who would be foolish enough to run out to the field?
However, what Ye Xiao didn't see was that they had flashed past, and most students hadn't noticed, but one individual, unlike the other students, spotted Ye Xiao heading toward the field.
"Isn't that Ye Xiao?" Xiong Tao watched as Ye Xiao and another person following behind him disappeared quickly into the rain in the blink of an eye.
"Could it be that my eyes are deceiving me?" Xiong Tao was greatly puzzled. His father had instructed him to keep a close watch on Ye Xiao, and although Xiong Tao wasn't particularly interested, it just so happened that he stumbled upon him today.
Xiong Tao immediately called his father, Xiong Daoliang, and told him about seeing Ye Xiao. Xiong Daoliang was silent for a few seconds before responding with "I know," and then he hung up the phone.
...
Meanwhile, Ye Xiao quickly arrived at the sports field with Li Dachui following closely behind. Ye Xiao vaulted up and perched atop a basketball hoop, looking down at Li Dachui from a high vantage point.
"It looks like 'Li Dachui' is also a fake name," Ye Xiao said, looking at Li Dachui.
Li Dachui laughed and, with an agile flip, landed atop the opposite basketball hoop. The two hoops were dozens of meters apart, yet their words seemed imminent, as if speaking right next to each other's ear.
"Smart. Since you're about to die anyway, I'll tell you my name. But make sure you listen carefully, my surname is indeed Li, and my name is Li Dachong!"
Ye Xiao burst into laughter upon hearing this man reveal his real name. He sat down on the railing edge, laughing so heartily!
Seeing Ye Xiao laughing continuously like this, Li Dachong was extremely puzzled and looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "You brat, what are you laughing about? What's so funny?"
Unable to hold back, Ye Xiao laughed and said, "What a name to choose! Even if you called yourself Li Dachui, it would at least have some level of sophistication. You shouldn't be called Li Dachong, right? But I guess it makes sense, I was wondering why you looked more and more like a worm to me. Haha, you're killing me!"
Hearing this, Li Dachong was absolutely furious. At first, he was puzzled why Ye Xiao could still laugh so much before a battle, but now he realized it—he was laughing at his name. No, he was insulting his name. The more Li Dachong thought about it, the angrier he got. This Ye Xiao was really infuriating! If he didn't kill him today, he'd be a laughing stock outside!
"Damn brat, you dare to insult me. Today, I'll beat you to a pulp," Li Dachong stomped his foot, leaped into the air, and flew directly more than ten meters high, then plunged toward Ye Xiao with an overwhelming momentum!
Ye Xiao looked up at Li Dachong, his laughter quickly fading. He stood up, braced himself, and like a shooting star, he soared straight up with a 'whoosh.'
The two met in the air above the training field, and immediately, amid the rain, two glowing figures, one yellow and one black, clashed together, both punching and kicking furiously at each other.
Li Dachong's fists were like iron blocks. Clearly, his expertise was punching. His fists, like hammers, carried a ferocious might as they raced towards Ye Xiao. But Ye Xiao was no less formidable. At the moment of his leap, his hands had turned into claws. With a large amount of Nine Yang True Qi gathered in each hand, his claw strikes became unusually sharp amidst the flurry of movements.
Boom!
The moment they made contact, a muffled explosion of energy erupted. After the explosion, the two fighters immediately separated but then, while falling rapidly, they performed a graceful somersault in mid-air and leaped toward each other again.
One's fists were like iron while the other's dragon claws were sharp as swords. They fought in the air and on the ground, equally matched and indistinguishably entangled in battle.
At this point, neither Ye Xiao nor Li Dachong held anything back. Although Li Dachong was inherently stronger than Ye Xiao, with Ye Xiao's possession of the Nine Yang Divine Skill and Wind Shadow Steps as a superb supporting technique, he managed to stand on equal footing with Li Dachong!
In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged more than a hundred rounds. Both men had sustained injuries, with Li Dachong sporting multiple cuts across his body and face, each bleeding before stopping.
Ye Xiao was not looking good either, with bruises covering his face, and his body was filthy with mud, clearly having taken quite a number of kicks from Li Dachong.
Both men struck fiercely at each other, resulting in both recoiling backwards!
Ye Xiao looked at Li Dachong, who was less than ten meters away, and was secretly surprised. He really hadn't expected Li Dachong, nearly at late-stage Xuan Rank, to be so strong. Despite his longtime efforts, Li Dachong was not falling behind at all. From this, his strength could be imagined. Previously, Ye Xiao could rely on the uniqueness of the Nine Yang Divine Skill to outlast slightly stronger opponents, often winning endurance battles. Because the Nine Yang True Qi could circulate endlessly, depleting quickly but recovering just as swiftly, at the very least he could exhaust his opponent to death. However, now the situation was different. Li Dachong's inner strength was indeed profound; the sky had darkened, yet he showed no sign of disadvantage.
In less than two seconds of eye contact, Li Dachong immediately rushed towards Ye Xiao with great speed. Ye Xiao, naturally not daring to hesitate, charged just as quickly towards Li Dachong!
But just at that moment, within the rain, a black shadow flashed like black lightning, appearing in the blink of an eye in between Ye Xiao and Li Dachong!
The person was wearing a large black raincoat.
Ye Xiao immediately stopped in his tracks, but Li Dachong did not. Seeing this person emerge suddenly, without thinking he threw a punch towards the mysterious figure!
The person in black revealed a disdainful sneer at the corner of his mouth, skillfully dodged Li Dachong's fist with a swift step. But in that second, the person extended a hand holding something black that looked like both a wooden stick and an iron rod, and it struck Li Dachong's arm like lightning. With a 'crack,' Li Dachong let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.
Before Li Dachong could react, the figure in black delivered a lightning-fast kick, sending Li Dachong flying over ten meters away, blood spewing from his mouth as he collapsed on the ground!
Both Ye Xiao and Li Dachong were tremendously shocked. Who was this mysterious person in black who had appeared so suddenly? He was already an enemy to Li Dachong, so what about Ye Xiao? Friend or foe?
