Ye Xiao's speed was extremely fast, bursting forth in that instant.

Although Ye Xiao, when in Mad God State, could almost reach the strength of the early Earth Rank, in fact, his actual strength was just at the late-stage Xuan Rank, barely considered the peak of Xuan Rank.

If it were unarmed combat, the four opponents before him would likely be quickly eliminated. However, they held Witch Blades in their hands, and their blade techniques were exceptionally skilled. Although each of their strengths was only in the mid to late Xuan Rank, with these superb blade skills, their strength had increased by at least a small level, while Ye Xiao? Unarmed, he was inherently at a disadvantage in terms of weapons.

Due to the difference in levels, it was impossible for these people to kill Ye Xiao. Moreover, Ye Xiao practiced the somewhat shameless Nine Yang Divine Skill, the longer the fight went on, the more the strength of the Nine Yang Divine Skill's Inner Power True Qi would manifest.

However, Ye Xiao had no intention of engaging in a drawn-out battle with these people, not that he didn't want to fight, but simply because he couldn't. The reason was simple, Li Siqi couldn't possibly defeat a mid to late-stage Xuan Rank Martial Artist. Although she possessed some strength and agility, what's more, her marksmanship was excellent, she might be able to suppress the enemy for a short time, but what about as time passed? In other words, the bullets from her gun would eventually run out, and what then?

Though Li Siqi didn't think highly of Ye Xiao and he merely found her beautiful, she was a friend of Jiang Miaoke and Han Ruoxi after all. Just because of this, Ye Xiao had reasons he simply had to rescue her!

Thus, when he swiftly charged towards the knife-wielding man in black, his hand's eagle claw also transformed in an instant. The original eagle claw instantly returned to normal, and what was even more surprising was that tiny flames appeared on his recovered hands, startling the men in black who noticed this scene.

Although they had noticed, ultimately, Ye Xiao's speed was too fast, truly too fast, instantly appearing in front of the man in black. The Fire Demolishing Palm struck without warning directly towards the target's abdomen.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the man in black hit by Ye Xiao's Fire Demolishing Palm flew out quickly. Although Fire Demolishing Palm was not a high-level Martial Art, due to its unique characteristics, to some extent, it was even more useful than some general high-level cultivation techniques.

The moment the man in black was touched by Ye Xiao's Fire Demolishing Palm, he felt a surging, scorching, and fierce True Qi rapidly entering his body. The high heat of this destructive Inner Strength True Qi almost burnt his intestines in an instant.

"Ah..." The man in black screamed miserably as he was sent flying, and at that moment, Ye Xiao reached out and snatched the man's Witch Blade. With the blade in hand, Ye Xiao didn't even spare a glance at the man in black. Relying purely on instinct, he "slashed" the blade across the man's neck, and blood spurted out immediately; clearly, the man was not going to survive.

"Ah?" Surprise spread through the hearts of the enemies, they never expected that Ye Xiao could unleash such tremendous power in an instant, and moreover, the most surprising thing was that this tremendous force had killed one of their comrades, and Ye Xiao, with his agile skills, didn't get a single drop of blood on his body. After all, he was wearing the cashmere coat he had bought with a month's salary; if it got stained with blood, how could he wear it anymore? It was very expensive indeed!

Although Ye Xiao was reluctant to hold the Witch Blade, at this time, it was a critical period, and whether he liked it or not was irrelevant.

At this moment, the three witches who were at a standoff with Ye Xiao saw their companion get killed and were immediately filled with rage, rushing towards Ye Xiao at high speed with their Witch Blades flashing coldly, fiercely lunging at him, their speed astonishing.

However, now that Ye Xiao had a blade in his hand, the only disadvantage he had also vanished. Seeing the three sharp blades rushing towards him, Ye Xiao stretched out his hand very agilely, and the blade in his hand seemed to come alive. Although Ye Xiao was not very skilled in blade techniques, he had been exposed to some sword techniques at Qiu Mountain. Qiu Mountain, as the first Sect renowned throughout Yan Country, had high-level disciples practicing sword techniques that were also exceptionally brilliant. So, at this moment, the Witch Blade in Ye Xiao's hands had become like a sword.

The Witch Blade, similar to the Huang Sword, had a straight blade, and if it hadn't been for the single edged side, it would have been completely a sword. Thus, at this moment, Ye Xiao was using this blade as if it were a sword.

"Clang, clang, clang."

A series of sharp metallic clashes rang out, and Ye Xiao successfully blocked the attack of the three knife-wielding men in black. Moreover, the blade in Ye Xiao's hands was wielded exquisitely, leaving the three men in black somewhat at a loss on how to proceed.

"What... what kind of blade technique is this?" The leader of the men in black, seeing the agility of the blade in Ye Xiao's hands and the tricky angles of its attacks, couldn't help but ask in stiff Yan Country Language, astonished as he looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao chuckled, "Can't you show a bit of intelligence? This is clearly about swordsmanship, isn't it? Forget it, you're too stupid to understand anyway. Alright, now you can call your companion over as well. Just now, one of your people died, and fighting three against one, I'm really losing enthusiasm."

As Ye Xiao spoke, his face was full of pride and disdain, like a self-important, arrogant man. But why did Ye Xiao deliberately provoke hatred? Ye Xiao was not actually an arrogant person.

In fact, Ye Xiao was confronting three black-clad men with a sword. Although it was not particularly difficult, it certainly wasn't easy to this extent. However, he had heard seven gunshots, and Li Siqi's gun was fairly small and exquisite, which looked like it could at most hold 9 bullets, or maybe seven or eight. If that was the case, it was clear that Li Siqi's danger was imminent.

Thus, Ye Xiao's act was entirely to save Li Siqi.

Yet, things did not go as expected.

Although Ye Xiao had already taunted them, and the witches were extremely angry, they did not summon their companions. Instead, their faces turned cold, and they once again simultaneously struck at Ye Xiao with their witch blades, their momentum even more ferocious than before. It seemed that they wouldn't stop until Ye Xiao was killed.

However, Ye Xiao, with a sword in hand, was fearless and even appeared eager to try. His sword was as agile as a cunning snake, seemingly endowed with life in Ye Xiao's hands. Wherever the sword tip, like the snake's head, reached, it was extremely tricky, forcing the enemies to focus solely on defense.

At that moment, one of the black-clad men attacked Ye Xiao's defenseless ribs from the side. To make matters worse, Ye Xiao was busy engaging their leader, so the attacker was naturally delighted. He thought that even if Ye Xiao managed to react and counterattack him, their leader would surely use the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Ye Xiao. Thus, the attacker believed that Ye Xiao would not be able to avoid this deadly attack.

Therefore, the man's witch blade thrust directly forward.

Yet, reality was far from ideal.

Ye Xiao never used his sword to defend himself; instead, his right hand intensified his attacks on the black-clad leader, forcing the leader into a disadvantage. Originally fierce attacks from the leader had now turned into defenses.

Everything, to the ambusher, seemed advantageous.

However, just when he thought he was about to succeed, suddenly, Ye Xiao's left hand moved—specifically, just the index and middle finger of his almost always still left hand moved.

And that was all it took.

The next second, everyone was startled because Ye Xiao's two fingers had accurately and efficiently clamped the ambusher's witch blade.

The ambusher stalled, utterly unprepared for Ye Xiao to be able to so precisely and appropriately clamp onto the spine of the witch blade while fully engaging the leader in combat.

"Why resort to such underhanded tactics? Seems like you're in a rush to die," Ye Xiao said as his fingers moved suddenly, sending a surge of immensely powerful Inner Power True Qi from the witch blade that the ambusher could not withstand. Consequently, his hand lost control and detached from the handle.

In the moment their hands and the blade handle separated, the witch blade held by Ye Xiao's fingers shot towards the ambusher's chest like a bullet. Shockingly, it wasn't the blade tip that penetrated but the handle. The speed and force were so formidable that everyone was profoundly shocked.

The ambusher fell down, his body still twitching. Ironically, the handle had pierced straight through his heart with tremendous force. He was exhaling more than inhaling, clearly about to die.
