"Ye Xiao—" Ling Shuya, Shen Qiuyu, and Qin Yulu had thought they had the win secured, but unexpectedly, after Ye Xiao and Xiong Daoliang had fought for over ten minutes, Ye Xiao began to show signs of defeat—more than that, he was sent flying twice in a row.

Last time, even while being sent flying, Ye Xiao could still manage to twist his body to balance himself in midair.

But this time, there was no chance given as Ye Xiao slammed directly onto the ground, even smashing a huge pit into the cement!

This time, Xiong Daoliang didn't immediately go over to follow up on Ye Xiao, he just looked at Ye Xiao and coldly smiled, boasting arrogantly, "I don't know what tricks you've used, but sadly, your death is already destined!"

Xiong Daoliang's steps finally began to slowly approach Ye Xiao.

At this moment, Ye Xiao lay on the ground, eyes closed, his hair blood-red, and his face pale, as if he was already done for.

But at this very moment, countless images flashed through Ye Xiao's mind, including Li Dachong's deceit when he impersonated Li Dachui, Xiong Daoliang's first appearance which seemed to help Ye Xiao but actually saved Li Dachong, and the recent events where Xie Zheng had paid with his life to save his own, as well as his beloved friends, women, and his deeply missed parents.

I can't die!

Ye Xiao's heart screamed desperately, as if trying to awaken himself.

But I can't beat him!

Ye Xiao really felt tired now, fight after fight against someone he simply couldn't defeat; Ye Xiao was getting more exhausted, and the more tired he got, the less he wanted to fight.

Xiong Daoliang's voice also echoed in Ye Xiao's ears.

Especially when Xiong Daoliang said Ye Xiao's death was destined, a sudden inspiration struck Ye Xiao's mind, and a phrase widely quoted online flashed through his mind.

"If you die, the bad guys will kill your parents, seize your property, sleep with your wife, and beat your children. Even if it's your fate, you'd just be a pile of bones."

I must not die, but what do I have left to fight with? How can I possibly defeat him? Xiong Daoliang's triple extremes techniques are simply too formidable, they're practically divine.

Triple extremes, triple extremes, ah? Breaking Three Extremes!

Right, only Breaking Three Extremes is the ultimate technique to counter the triple extremes. The only way to kill Xiong Daoliang is by using Breaking Three Extremes!

Xiong Daoliang, watching Ye Xiao lying motionless on the ground, smiled even more broadly, believing that Ye Xiao was close to death, that he could crush him with just his pinky finger.

"Ye Xiao!"

"Ye Xiao, wake up!"

"Ye Xiao!"

One after another, heart-wrenching cries shouted by Ling Shuya, Shen Qiuyu, Qin Yulu, and others as they tried to wake Ye Xiao, who shouldn't be "sleeping" at such a critical moment.

But their voices did not wake Ye Xiao; he continued to lie motionless on the ground!

Originally, Ye Xiao's appearance had given them hope, but now, Ye Xiao seemed truly defeated, plunging them again into helpless despair, this time even worse than before. Last time, they could still hope for Ye Xiao's appearance, but this time? Ye Xiao had fallen, and it seemed very difficult for him to get back up.

Meanwhile, Xiong Daoliang stood half a meter from Ye Xiao's body, his face showing heavy killing intent; he was truly ready to kill.

"Die!" Xiong Daoliang bellowed, his fist coming down on Ye Xiao's body like a hammer.

Boom!

An earth-shaking loud noise.

At that sound, everyone was stunned, especially Ling Shuya, Shen Qiuyu, and Qin Yulu who thought Ye Xiao was finished.

However, while everyone was shocked, given Ye Xiao's astonishing previous appearance, there was one person whose face showed not shock, but disbelief.

"This…" Xiong Daoliang looked at the large pit his True Qi fist had created on the ground.

But there was no body of Ye Xiao in the pit, not even blood, just an empty hole.

"Still looking? Look again and I won't be there!" A voice that invigorated everyone rang out.

"It's Ye Xiao!" Qin Yulu exclaimed in surprise, looking at Ye Xiao now standing on the rooftop, still his enigmatic self, embodying both righteousness and evil.

Xiong Daoliang slowly raised his head to look at the speaker.

"You still have the strength to stand, I truly admire that!" Xiong Daoliang looked at Ye Xiao, although somewhat surprised internally, his expression remained very calm.

"Haha, I think so too," Ye Xiao said with a slight smile, continuing, "Since I'm not dead, then you must die!"

No sooner had Ye Xiao spoken than his figure flickered and vanished from the spot.

At that moment, apart from Xiong Daoliang, no one could see clearly where Ye Xiao's body was located, and only saw a blurred figure disappearing from the rooftop. Subsequently, Ye Xiao was gone.

Where did Ye Xiao go? Had he truly disappeared?

While others could not see him, Xiong Daoliang could see very clearly. At that moment, Ye Xiao moved toward him with the speed of lightning, appearing suddenly in front of him.

Xiong Daoliang was not scared at all, his emotions didn't even fluctuate slightly!

Ye Xiao and Xiong Daoliang fought once again.

Xiong Daoliang was surprised to find that this time, Ye Xiao was indeed different from before; this difference lay in a faint halo surrounding Ye Xiao's body, which Xiong Daoliang thought must be the True Qi Gauze.

As for the True Qi Gauze, Xiong Daoliang harbored great disdain. True Qi Gauze was merely an ability of Xuan Rank martial artists, while for Earth Rank martial artists, True Qi Gauze was akin to nothing more than a layer of gauze, providing no defensive power whatsoever.

The premium defense for Earth Rank martial artists wasn't gauze, but armor—an actual Earth Rank master could possess the exclusive ability of Earth Rank, True Qi Armor.

Xiong Daoliang himself had only recently advanced to Earth Rank and, although he sometimes could manifest the True Qi Armor, the chances were small and he couldn't do it at will.

Seeing Ye Xiao approaching, Xiong Daoliang quickly executed his favorite and most commonly used technique, Breaking Three Extremes Punch!

The punch, like advancing steel, flew swiftly toward Ye Xiao.

Previously when facing the Breaking Three Extremes Punch, what Ye Xiao would normally do was to dodge and defend, but this time, Ye Xiao neither dodged nor defended; instead, he faced it head-on!

"Hmm?" Seeing Ye Xiao charging at him like a madman, Xiong Daoliang subconsciously thought of the time Xie Zheng used True Qi to self-destruct and cause damage.

Could this guy be planning to kill me using Xie Zheng's method? Xiong Daoliang mused, chuckling to himself at the thought. It seemed highly unlikely—hadn't Xie Zheng's inner strength also been robust, and yet he hadn't managed to kill him? Could Ye Xiao do it? Or did Ye Xiao think he could now?

Even though Xiong Daoliang thought this, at this moment his fist was already about to make contact with Ye Xiao. He wouldn't withdraw his fist, meaning that he would be hit by Ye Xiao, something Xiong Daoliang definitely wouldn't do. Thus, Xiong Daoliang's fist brutally struck forth.

However, just as their fists were about to collide, Ye Xiao's hand movement changed.

Xiong Daoliang was truly startled into a cold sweat by Ye Xiao's gesture because Ye Xiao had caught his fist, and with the force exerted by Xiong Daoliang, Ye Xiao paradoxically didn't advance but retreated.

At that moment, Xiong Daoliang saw Ye Xiao's eyes!

A pair of blood-red eyes, yet with a mocking smile on them.

It wasn't a self-explosion!

That, Xiong Daoliang knew at that time.

Boom!

The collision of True Qi caused another deafening blast of air explosion.

But this time, though Ye Xiao was pushed back, so was Xiong Daoliang, and the damage from the air explosion was not light for Xiong Daoliang.

At that moment, Xiong Daoliang's fist drooped slightly.

His eyes, in disbelief, looked at Ye Xiao, who was supporting himself on the ground with one hand.

"How is this possible?" Xiong Daoliang muttered as he stared at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "What's impossible about it? Don't forget, whose disciple created Breaking Three Extremes?"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Xiong Daoliang gasped in great surprise, and then disbelief filled his heart—could there really be a flaw in Breaking Three Extremes?

"Senior Xie endured you for over a decade just to devise Breaking Three Extremes' secret technique, and now, the technique has emerged," Ye Xiao said coldly as he watched Xiong Daoliang.

Xiong Daoliang was even more incredulous.

"It's impossible, there's no flaw in Breaking Three Extremes." Xiong Daoliang was a perfectionist; Breaking Three Extremes was, in his mind, the most perfect martial art. Over the years, he had never found any flaws in it.

But now, his own Breaking Three Extremes Punch had been countered by Ye Xiao. The formidable power of the punch had not been unleashed; most of it had backfired into Xiong Daoliang's own body.

Xiong Daoliang raised his head to look at Ye Xiao, his eyes filled with rage. At that moment, his sole thought was to kill Ye Xiao—he couldn't allow anyone to master the flaw of Breaking Three Extremes. Absolutely not!

"Die!" Xiong Daoliang 'swooshed' directly toward Ye Xiao, the speed so fast that even Ye Xiao was somewhat surprised. At this moment, Xiong Daoliang truly exerted all his strength.

However, Ye Xiao remembered clearly, when Xie Zheng taught him Breaking Three Extremes, the only instruction was 'calm'!

Because only in a calm state could one find the opponent's flaw, and only by finding the flaw could Breaking Three Extremes truly break.

Xiong Daoliang moved, and Ye Xiao too moved.

The two, one in red and one in black, battled from the air to the ground and from the ground back into the air, with explosions sounding like firecrackers during new year festivities, crackling incessantly!
