"Can we start now?" Brother Tong glared at Ye Xiao, thinking Ye Xiao was really dragging his feet.
It was clearly something that would take just a few seconds, yet it had been dragged out until now.
Ye Xiao looked at Brother Tong and said with a smile, "Haha, I'm ready."
Perhaps it was because the passersby around them sensed something was off between Ye Xiao and Brother Tong and his group, so many people stopped, seeming to want to see some excitement here.
Ye Xiao and Brother Tong stood opposite each other, about a meter apart, clearly ready to strike any moment.
"Kid, stop looking around and take action. Brother Tong is standing here letting you punch three times. Let's see if those three punches can make me move even a bit." Brother Tong was incredibly arrogant at this moment. To him, blocking one punch from Ye Xiao was as easy as pie.
Moreover, in Brother Tong's eyes, Ye Xiao was just someone who couldn't even truss a chicken, so Brother Tong really didn't care about Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao glanced at Brother Tong, chuckled lightly, and said, "Brother Tong, you're being a bit too arrogant. Even your favorite beauty just said, 'there's always a chance for the unexpected.'"
Brother Tong immediately burst into laughter, walked up to Ye Xiao, patted him on the shoulder, chuckled, and said, "It's not that I look down on you, but I only need to use half my strength to make you cry like a baby, so there's no unexpected chance here. Haha, if you admit defeat now, maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll let you go this time."
Brother Tong was clearly trying to provoke Ye Xiao, but Ye Xiao just chuckled lightly and wasn't angry at all; instead, he found it very amusing looking at Brother Tong.
At this moment, Ye Xiao truly found it funny because, in his eyes, Brother Tong was just a tiny ant, nothing more.
"What are you laughing at?" Brother Tong was suddenly confused when he saw Ye Xiao laughing.
Ye Xiao then said, "Brother Tong, since you're older than me, I should learn a bit from Kong Rong who let others have the pears. Go ahead, you punch me first, and I'll give you three punches too!"
When Brother Tong heard Ye Xiao's words, he immediately turned red with anger, clearly realizing that Ye Xiao was deliberately mocking him too.
While Brother Tong felt so pleased when he was mocking Ye Xiao, when it was Ye Xiao mocking him instead, he couldn't stand it. Obviously, he thought it was only his place to mock Ye Xiao, not the other way around.
"How dare you mock me? I guess you have a death wish," Brother Tong shouted loudly at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao laughed and said, "Three punches, I've already given you the chance."
Ye Xiao no longer had the previous fear; instead, he was challenging him again and again. He didn't want to just punch Brother Tong down with one blow—that would be no fun at all.
Brother Tong, hearing the mocking in Ye Xiao's words, was instantly enraged and shouted loudly at Ye Xiao, "Alright, since you're courting death, here comes my punch!"
Brother Tong shouted and suddenly rushed forward, swinging a punch directly at Ye Xiao's chest.
Brother Tong moved so suddenly that everyone present was shocked. Those who were watching the excitement didn't understand what was happening, they only heard Ye Xiao and Brother Tong talking sharply, hence they wanted to see what was going on, but they didn't expect Brother Tong to suddenly throw a punch.
"Ah?" At this moment, everyone almost expected Ye Xiao to come out badly.
After all, Brother Tong's punch was both sharp and fast. More importantly, Ye Xiao really looked frail, which made the onlookers squeeze a handful of sweat for him.
Boom!
A muffled sound, barely audible to others, Brother Tong's fist landed on Ye Xiao's chest.
Brother Tong originally thought Ye Xiao would have to stagger backwards and fall heavily to the ground in total embarrassment.
However, contrary to his wishes, Ye Xiao didn't fall. Instead, he looked at Brother Tong and smiled amiably.
Brother Tong was completely baffled.
Brother Tong knew exactly how much force he used in that punch, yet after it landed, Ye Xiao was unharmed, which was clearly illogical.
"Brother Tong, is this your fist? Why does it feel like a cotton hammer to me?" Ye Xiao chuckled and said as he looked at the still-dazed Brother Tong.
Brother Tong's face turned red upon hearing Ye Xiao, glaring at him, "You..."
"Brother Tong, you still have three chances to punch. If within these three punches you can knock me down, it will count as your victory as well," Ye Xiao said to Brother Tong.
Brother Tong's face turned extremely ugly looking at Ye Xiao, as it was clearly a blatant insult.
"You're courting death!" Brother Tong's voice turned chilling, clearly realizing something, but he didn't believe he couldn't defeat Ye Xiao. In his mind, Ye Xiao was definitely not an expert, maybe his chest had some protective padding?
However, no matter how much padding, Brother Tong didn't think it was possible for him not to knock Ye Xiao down.
Even though people thought Brother Tong had used a lot of strength, Brother Tong knew he hadn't used much; only about sixty percent of his peak power. So, if he were to go all out, he believed Ye Xiao would definitely end up in a miserable state.
And at this moment, when Ye Xiao heard Brother Tong say 'You're courting death!' he burst into laughter and said to Brother Tong, "Brother Tong, why do you always repeat the same thing? Didn't you already say earlier that I was courting death? Yet here I am, still alive and well. If you have the ability, continue; of course, if you want to admit defeat, haha, I'd be happy to accept. But if you decide to admit defeat after three punches, it won't be so easy!"
If Brother Tong was just now overwhelmed by joy, then he must be currently consumed by anger.
"Go to hell!" It was the same repetitive phrase, but this time Brother Tong's fist was indeed faster and more powerful than before.
It's not just about being hit by Brother Tong's punch; seeing the full force of his punch already turned the people around pale with fear.
'Crunch!'
A small, crisp sound!
Ye Xiao remained standing tall, and even wore a smile on his face.
However, Brother Tong's expression twisted immediately.
Brother Tong took a few steps back, grabbed his punching right hand with his left, his face showing nothing but surprise.
Everyone was looking at Brother Tong at this moment, because Brother Tong looked very uncomfortable, and most importantly, his wrist seemed a bit deformed.
Brother Tong stared wide-eyed at Ye Xiao, utterly in disbelief. Clearly, he couldn't fathom how this could happen. It made no sense at all.
"Brother Tong, what's wrong?" A few of his followers quickly ran over, having noticed something was off with Brother Tong's expression earlier.
At this moment, one of the followers looked at Brother Tong's wrist and exclaimed, "Brother Tong, your wrist is fractured."
After this follower's words spread, everyone was shocked.
To know, Brother Tong had just attacked someone, and Ye Xiao, who was hit, was still standing there smiling, yet Brother Tong, the one who struck, had a fractured wrist—truly a ridiculous scenario.
Originally, everyone's attention was on Brother Tong, but as soon as that follower's words came out, immediately, all eyes shifted to Ye Xiao.
Regarding Ye Xiao, there wasn't a single person who wasn't astonished. Brother Tong's punch landed on Ye Xiao, yet Ye Xiao was unharmed, while the puncher's wrist was fractured.
What does that imply? How resilient is Ye Xiao's body, anyway? That's the inconceivable part for everyone.
Though Brother Tong was previously confused, after experiencing the bone-deep pain in his wrist, he finally understood that he had been tricked.
"You... you're not an ordinary person!" Brother Tong felt a piercing pain from his wrist and said coldly to Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao chuckled softly, walked right up to Brother Tong, and extended his hand.
Brother Tong and his followers were startled by Ye Xiao's action and quickly stepped back, clearly thinking Ye Xiao might do something to them.
Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "If you don't want a crippled hand, then reach your hand here, I can help set your bone back."
Brother Tong was taken aback by Ye Xiao's words.
In this line of work, if his hand were crippled, surviving would be impossible since being able to fight and jump is essential in this world.
Brother Tong hesitated for a moment, but eventually extended his hand.
Ye Xiao maintained a faint smile, reached out with both hands, using one to support Brother Tong's hand while the other felt around the fracture, and then suddenly slid his hand!
All that could be heard was a few 'crunch' sounds.
Brother Tong's mouth emitted a scream like a pig being slaughtered, as if he were about to be killed.
"What are you doing?" The followers were shocked to hear Brother Tong's loud scream and quickly looked at Ye Xiao, shouting loudly.
Ye Xiao completely ignored the hostile looks from the followers, and instead smiled, saying to Brother Tong, "Support it with your hand, go to the hospital for a splint, and I believe the doctor will tell you how long to wear it."
After the loud screams, Brother Tong gradually calmed down. Although his wrist still hurt, the pain felt different because the fracture had been set.
"Thank you!" Brother Tong, being in this line of work, knew the disparity in strength between himself and Ye Xiao.
The fact that Ye Xiao helped him set his bone was already a huge favor.
Ye Xiao chuckled softly and said, "There's no need to thank me. You still owe me a punch. It seems you don't have the strength to throw it, so it's my turn. If you aren't knocked out, the beauty is yours."
How could Brother Tong still dare to compete with Ye Xiao for the beauty? He immediately sneaked a glance at Wang Luoxin.
Wang Luoxin smiled gently and said to Brother Tong, "Brother Tong, I believe in you, go for it!"
Brother Tong looked at Wang Luoxin and suddenly couldn't find the previous charm because he felt that beauty was truly a source of trouble, and for him, purchased love seemed more reliable!
