When Ye Xiao realized the phone line had been cut, he immediately sent a text message to Wang Luoxin, informing her of the situation.

At this moment, there were very few people who could help Ye Xiao. Although Zhou Hao and Shen Qiuyu were considered martial arts experts in normal times, the opponents they were facing now were much stronger than them. To send them into battle would undoubtedly be sending them to their deaths.

Ye Xiao would never allow his close ones to make pointless sacrifices. While Wang Luoxin's own strength wasn't very formidable, just at the Early Xuan Rank, the Seven-Colored Dragon Suppressing Formation led by the members of the Seven-colored Lamp was unimaginably powerful. Defeating stronger opponents was a mere trifle for them. The last time, Ye Xiao had almost stumbled within the Seven-Colored Dragon Suppressing Formation himself.

When Wang Luoxin and others approached the Ling family's villa, it was precisely when Xiong Tao and Chen Yunzhong gave the order for a full assault.

"Big sister, there seems to be quite a number of martial artists around here," Cheng Yun warned Wang Luoxin.

How could Wang Luoxin not know this? However, she found it strange that while the strength of the attackers was not weak, those hidden among them varied greatly, with most being Yellow Rank martial artists. This was the most surprising part for Wang Luoxin.

A Yellow Rank martial artist rushing to the battle? Was this some sort of suicide mission?

"Let's not worry about that now. The main enemy force should be over there. We'll use the Seven-Colored Dragon Suppressing Formation right now. Those Mid-stage Xuan Rank experts definitely won't be able to withstand it, and the enemy's frontline will inevitably fall into disorder," Wang Luoxin told Cheng Yun, Huang Tian, Purple Flame, and others.

Upon hearing Wang Luoxin's words, the members of Seven-colored Lamp immediately nodded in agreement and then, like seven leopards, they swiftly darted towards Xiong Tao's location.

However, Xiong Tao's guards were very alert, and they spotted Wang Luoxin and her group from ten meters away. They immediately sounded the alarm.

Chen Yunzhong turned and glanced at the seven people behind him. With just one look, he could tell that they were not high-level martial artists, so he immediately gave a cold and commanding order to the guards beside him: "Show no mercy!"

Instantly, three or four Mid-stage Xuan Rank experts who were guarding Xiong Tao rushed towards Wang Luoxin and the others.

Among the Seven-colored Lamp, aside from Wang Luoxin, the rest were merely Yellow Rank martial artists, which was why Chen Yunzhong wasn't taking them seriously.

But three seconds later, Chen Yunzhong was shocked!

He watched, eyes wide open, as the seven men and women suddenly leaped into the air, disappearing in an instant, and the three or four guards who had rushed in also vanished from Chen Yunzhong's sight in a blink.

"An array?" Chen Yunzhong, who had seen much of the world, knew at a glance that this must be some kind of array.

The seven people had clothing centered around the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple.

"Seven-colored Lamp?" After uttering this name, even Chen Yunzhong frightened himself.

He remembered that before Li Dachong died, he had mentioned finding the people from the Seven-colored Lamp to kill Ye Xiao. But now, it seemed the Seven-colored Lamp were clearly on Ye Xiao's side.

"Young Master, we must quickly fall back!" Chen Yunzhong exclaimed.

Xiong Tao found Chen Yunzhong's words very odd. Earlier Chen Yunzhong had confidently guaranteed that with Xiong Daoliang's nearly entire elite force, they could definitely kill Ye Xiao and eradicate the Ling family.

But now, Chen Yunzhong was telling him to retreat!

"Uncle Chen, you must be joking," Xiong Tao said to Chen Yunzhong. "We're at an advantage right now, why would we retreat?"

"The Seven-colored Lamp has arrived!" Chen Yunzhong said earnestly.

"I don't care if it's the Seven-colored Lamp or some other lamp, I won't leave until Ye Xiao is dead," Xiong Tao said coldly. "Uncle Chen, you know my father hates cowards the most."

Seeing that the Young Master was angry, Chen Yunzhong dared not say much more, but watching those martial artists disappearing into the aura of the array, he really started to worry.

However, Chen Yunzhong's worries were far from over because, at that very moment, he heard several screams. To his astonishment, he saw Ye Xiao charging towards him and Xiong Tao at tremendous speed.

Ye Xiao's aim was very clear—he wanted to capture Xiong Tao.

Originally, Chen Yunzhong and Xiong Tao had come here to supervise the battle and command others, but now the guards around them were gone, and Ye Xiao was darting through their own martial arts experts. Not only was he unharmed, but wherever he passed, blood splattered, and he was utterly unstoppable.

Although Xiong Tao's bluster was fierce, he was completely an ordinary person with no martial arts cultivation.

So, in such a critical moment, as Xiong Daoliang's trusted aide, Chen Yunzhong naturally stepped forward to protect him.

Chen Yunzhong took a quick step forward, shielding Xiong Tao behind him.

Xiong Tao's eyes weren't blind, and he could clearly see that Ye Xiao was approaching. So at this moment, Xiong Tao was incredibly pale with fear, and if there were any liquid in his bladder at that moment, it was very likely he would have wet himself.

"Ye Xiao, if you dare harm Young Master Xiong, you are doomed to die without a place to bury your body!" Seeing Ye Xiao approaching with an evil smirk, Chen Yunzhong hastily said in a cold voice.

"Move aside, or you will die," Ye Xiao said simply.

"Hmph, ignorant!" Chen Yunzhong, with the strength of a Mid-stage Xuan Rank, was not afraid of Ye Xiao whom he knew was strong, so he immediately took out his trump card and began to spar with Ye Xiao.

Of course, sparring with Ye Xiao was merely what Chen Yunzhong wished for, whether or not Ye Xiao wanted to spar with him was another matter.

Chen Yunzhong's fist flew straight for Ye Xiao's vital point, but at this moment, he was shocked to find Ye Xiao had vanished.

Originally, Chen Yunzhong thought that Ye Xiao's strength was at most Late-stage Xuan Rank, even though he was only at Mid-stage Xuan Rank, surely he could hold on until Xiong Daoliang arrived.

However, when Ye Xiao suddenly disappeared from in front of him, Chen Yunzhong immediately panicked, unable to believe how fast Ye Xiao was, and he hurriedly began to search for Ye Xiao's figure.

Just then, a mocking voice came from behind Chen Yunzhong, "I hate it when people treat my words like a fart."

"What?" Startled, Chen Yunzhong shuddered and hurriedly turned around, but he felt as if his back had been struck by a hammer weighing thousands of pounds. He was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, his complexion deathly pale, clearly having sustained serious injuries.

Chen Yunzhong flew out quickly, but Ye Xiao, shadowing him with even greater speed, arrived at the spot where Chen Yunzhong was about to fall.

Seeing Ye Xiao standing before him, the twisted-faced Chen Yunzhong was scared and wanted to beg for mercy, but it was too late. The moment he saw Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao pronounced his destiny with a single word.

"Die!"

"Ah?" Upon hearing Ye Xiao say this 'die,' Chen Yunzhong was stunned. But before his surprise could sink in, a dazzling flame appeared in Ye Xiao's hand, and then...

Chen Yunzhong had no 'then' anymore.

His face ashen, blood streaming from all seven orifices, Chen Yunzhong was sent straight to the Western Paradise by Ye Xiao's Fire Demolishing Palm.

Xiong Tao saw Chen Yunzhong lying motionless on the ground after being struck by Ye Xiao's palm and felt his legs go weak with fear, knowing that Chen Yunzhong was more dead than alive, and next, Ye Xiao's target would surely be himself.

"Mommy!" Standing on the spot, Xiong Tao shouted before turning to run!

But if he wanted to flee, how could Ye Xiao let him escape?

With a slight smile, Ye Xiao rapidly chased after Xiong Tao. His speed was so swift that it would have astonished any ordinary Martial Artist.

Originally, Ye Xiao thought that capturing Xiong Tao would be the end of it all. After all, with Xiong Tao in hand, Xiong Daoliang would have no choice but to surrender.

A child is the apple of a parent's eye; parents would not regret any hardship as long as their child is safe.

Although using someone's child to threaten and coerce might be despicable, Ye Xiao had no choice as the confrontation was not of his making.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Xiao came up behind Xiong Tao, reaching out to grab him.

However, at that moment, an angry shout rang out, "Retreat!"

Ye Xiao felt a powerful surge of True Qi attacking him, and not daring to take the hit, he quickly turned his body, almost completing the turn and withdrawal in mid-air.

After avoiding the nearly fatal attack, when Ye Xiao looked back towards Xiong Tao, he saw a person in a black robe standing beside him.

Ye Xiao looked at the robed figure and recognized him immediately.

If not Xiong Daoliang, then who?

"You finally show up," Ye Xiao said, looking at Xiong Daoliang!

Meanwhile, the three Martial Artists who had entered the Seven-Colored Dragon Suppressing Formation had all been killed, and Wang Luoxin and others gathered up the Array, looking towards Xiong Daoliang who was now standing beside Xiong Tao.

"It seems I underestimated you, providing even the Seven-colored Lamp to aid you," the black-robed man slowly raised his head, his face wearing a gentle smile, revealing himself as Xiong Daoliang.

Ye Xiao looked at Xiong Daoliang and laughed, saying, "You have your schemes, but can't I have a ladder to climb over the wall? There are quite a few Martial Artists around here, and if I'm not wrong, should anything go awry for me, they won't hesitate to join you in disposing of us."

"You're very clever, Ye Xiao, I really wish you could become one of my men. Together, we could definitely carve out a world for ourselves!" Xiong Daoliang's face was full of smiles, seemingly not at all sad about Chen Yunzhong's death, but rather as if engaging in a heart-to-heart talk with Ye Xiao.
