At that moment, Xiong Daoliang had already lost his reason; his only thought was to kill Ye Xiao with absolute advantage. However, the more anxious he became, the harder it was to achieve his goal, while Ye Xiao primarily dodged and, at the same time, his keen eyes searched for a way to break Xiong Daoliang's weakness.
"Hmm? It's time!" Ye Xiao narrowly dodged Xiong Daoliang's attack and simultaneously caught a fatal flaw in Xiong Daoliang's technique!
Hit!
Ye Xiao's dragon claws moved with lightning speed, targeting Xiong Daoliang's almost undefended pulse.
"Ah—" Xiong Daoliang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and his body flew away.
Taking advantage of his opponent's weakness was what Ye Xiao did best, so the instant Xiong Daoliang was blasted away, Ye Xiao flew towards him.
"Flying Kick!"
Ye Xiao's Flying Kick reached Xiong Daoliang in an instant, kicking directly at his body.
However—
Everyone thought that this time Xiong Daoliang was surely finished, but when Ye Xiao's Flying Kick made contact, with a 'swoosh,' Xiong Daoliang's body, which seemed to have lost consciousness, performed a beautiful twist mid-air. Then, from below, he fiercely kicked the leg that performed Ye Xiao's Flying Kick, causing Ye Xiao to lose his balance!
And just at that moment, Xiong Daoliang kicked again.
Ye Xiao was sent flying once more.
Bang!
A muffled sound rang out as Ye Xiao once again heavily fell to the ground.
Xiong Daoliang wasn't faring well either. After landing, the hand that Ye Xiao had broken hung limply, seemingly powerless.
Rage filled Xiong Daoliang's eyes!
Although Ye Xiao was kicked again, he managed to stand up with difficulty.
Ye Xiao wiped the blood off his mouth with his hand!
"Now your hand should basically be useless, haha, not just that, the True Qi in your body must also be somewhat chaotic," Ye Xiao looked at Xiong Daoliang with a devilish smile, despite also being severely injured.
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, a flicker of surprise crossed Xiong Daoliang's face; he never expected Ye Xiao to repeatedly break his techniques. Now one of his hands was basically useless, completely powerless, and his Inner Power True Qi wasn't circulating in that hand at all. If he forced the circulation of Inner Power True Qi, it would likely backfire.
"You're too arrogant!" Xiong Daoliang still glared stubbornly at Ye Xiao and continued, "Your death is already decreed!"
"Haha, yes, I might die, but does that mean you won't die?" A faint smile appeared on Ye Xiao's face, and he took the initiative to move first.
Moreover, he moved very quickly!
When Ye Xiao moved, Xiong Daoliang naturally wouldn't hesitate, thus he also sprang into action with extreme speed.
'Swoosh'!
The two men touched each other almost instantly.
Still a clash of red and black, they fought spectacularly before the eyes of the crowd.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
A series of explosive noises, a series of roars!
At this moment, the Inner Power True Qi within Xiong Daoliang's body was just as Ye Xiao had said— in a chaotic state. Now, if he wanted to recover, he could only stop fighting and properly regulate his Inner Power True Qi. However, in reality, Ye Xiao's attacks were becoming faster and sharper.
"Xiong Daoliang, your time of death is approaching." Although the condition inside Ye Xiao's body was also very bad, compared to Xiong Daoliang, he still had control over his body. Hence, at this moment, the power they could exert was almost the same, so neither had a decisive advantage in the fight.
However, because of this prolonged combat, Ye Xiao began to reveal a latent advantage.
Ye Xiao's advantage still lay in the miraculous Nine Yang Divine Skill. Originally, the Nine Yang Divine Skill was the most superior in defense and healing among all Inner Strength techniques. When it came to combat effectiveness, the Nine Yang Divine Skill might not be considered the sharpest, but in terms of resilience, if the Nine Yang Divine Skill claimed to be second, no other Cultivation Technique would dare to claim to be first.
Thus, when the fight between the two became deadlocked, Ye Xiao's Nine Yang Divine Skill gradually took effect. Although in the combat between experts, the outcome tended to depend on skill proficiency, sharpness, and the superiority of Martial Arts, a slightly faster recovery speed of Inner Strength wasn't usually the key to victory. However, at this moment in Ye Xiao's battle against Xiong Daoliang, this rapid recovery and healing of Inner Strength became the most crucial factor for victory.
Xiong Daoliang was finding it increasingly difficult as they fought. However, the more he struggled, the more ferocious Ye Xiao's offensive became. Initially, Xiong Daoliang used his unique Triple Excellence Hand, intending to defeat Ye Xiao with his unparalleled Divine Skill. Yet, every time he used the Triple Excellence Hand, Xiong Daoliang would eventually fail, as Ye Xiao broke through his ultimate moves every time.
This caused Xiong Daoliang's situation to worsen progressively.
Having lost the reliance on his Triple Excellence Hand and with the True Qi of his Inner Strength in disarray within his body, Xiong Daoliang's disadvantages were gradually coming to the fore. For instance, after a half-hour of fighting, his speed could no longer keep up with Ye Xiao's pace!
"Fire Demolishing Palm!" Ye Xiao bellowed. Just as Xiong Daoliang had some defensive flaws at his chest, the Fire Demolishing Palm struck with lightning speed, bolstered by Dragon Claw, harshly smashing into Xiong Daoliang's chest!
The power of the Fire Demolishing Palm reached its pinnacle in that instant. Although it was only a Yellow Rank Martial Art, this very Yellow Rank Martial Art nearly cost Xiong Daoliang his life!
Xiong Daoliang felt a stuffiness in his chest, and in an instant, it was as if he could no longer control his True Qi. Then, his body uncontrollably flew out and harshly crashed into the ground, creating a huge crater with his body!
Ye Xiao stood firm on the ground, suppressing the discomfort in his body, and coldly chuckled at Xiong Daoliang, "See how it feels to smash the ground into a crater with your body."
Before this, Ye Xiao had already smashed several pits into the ground, truly feeling as though his whole skeleton was about to scatter.
"Ha-ha, Ye Xiao, I will not die by your hand. How could I possibly die at the hands of a milk-scented boy like you!" Xiong Daoliang said, his hands trembling as he pushed himself up!
At this moment, Xiong Daoliang was more disheveled than ever before. The once mysterious black robe was now tattered, and there were traces of blood around his mouth, clearly suffering unparalleled wounds!
Seeing the state Xiong Daoliang was in, Ye Xiao knew that killing him now would be as easy as reaching into a bag. Thus, Ye Xiao made his decision happily!
"Xiong Daoliang, I hope in your next life you can peacefully become a good citizen of some country, but now, you must die!" Ye Xiao's eyes locked onto Xiong Daoliang, like a hunter staring at prey about to be killed.
Xiong Daoliang saw Ye Xiao approaching him. Although the words he had just uttered were very assertive, only he himself knew clearly that he probably couldn't defeat Ye Xiao now. It wasn't that he didn't want to fight, but that he truly couldn't release any more Inner Strength True Qi. Thus, Xiong Daoliang could only watch as Ye Xiao approached him.
"Ye Xiao!" a sharp cry made almost everyone turn towards Ye Xiao.
Of course, this included Xiong Daoliang!
"Tao'er?" Xiong Daoliang saw that the speaker was his son, Xiong Tao!
Xiong Tao didn't look at his father but stared at Ye Xiao, holding a silver pistol in his hand.
"Ye Xiao, die!" Xiong Tao roared, quickly pulling the trigger of his handgun.
'Bang' a sharp gunshot sounded.
The bullet rapidly flew towards Ye Xiao.
Xiong Tao's marksmanship was indeed commendable, both the shooting and the accuracy, but that was all it was, just commendable.
Ye Xiao, now barely an Earth Rank Martial Artist, had a speed that already surpassed the bullet's velocity. So naturally, Ye Xiao dodged the bullet fired by Xiong Tao.
"Everyone, now is the chance to kill Ye Xiao, quick!" Xiong Tao bellowed, and Xiong Daoliang's subordinates finally snapped out of their shock, having been stunned by the previous battle between Ye Xiao and Xiong Daoliang. Now Xiong Tao's shout awakened them once again!
But just then, Xiong Daoliang roared at those who wanted to step forward, "Everyone, I, Xiong Daoliang, have fallen here today, but you must ensure Xiong Tao's safety, get moving!"
Although Xiong Daoliang couldn't defeat Ye Xiao now, he knew clearly that he could still fight to the death against a late-stage Xuan Rank expert. Ye Xiao was currently in even better form. How could he not kill those men? Not to mention a few dozen Xuan Rank Martial Artists; even more wouldn't breach an Earth Rank expert's defense, so how could they possibly think of killing him?
At this moment, Ye Xiao also set his sights on Xiong Tao. Xiong Daoliang's death was already certain, and his words had confirmed it. Therefore, Ye Xiao couldn't allow Xiong Daoliang's son to escape. He understood well the principle of 'If the roots are not removed, the spring breeze will regenerate them,' so he absolutely couldn't let this happen.
Ye Xiao's body swayed, and he walked directly towards Xiong Tao. However, just then, Xiong Daoliang roared furiously, quickly intercepting Ye Xiao, his complexion pale like a dead man's, his eyes glaring at Ye Xiao, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"Spare my son!" Xiong Daoliang looked at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao looked at Xiong Daoliang and coldly said, "What if he were my son? Would you still say the same? Kill you, spare him, what if he seeks revenge in the future?"
