At this moment, Fu Tianjue's heart was tumultuous. If it were any other matter, perhaps Fu Tianjue wouldn't have been so enraged. But upon hearing Ye Xiao say that his son, Fu Hongyi, was killed by his grandson Fu Donglai, and that Fu Donglai intended to kill him too, he should have disbelieved it.
However, Fu Tianjue recalled the day he discovered Fu Hongyi was dead, he wanted to immediately seek out Ye Xiao, planning to kill Ye Xiao. Yet, Fu Donglai knelt before him, crying and pleading for him not to go, saying that with his father and brother already dead, the Fu family couldn't endure any more misfortune, so no matter what, he mustn't go.
At that time, Fu Tianjue thought that Fu Donglai had truly grown up and matured, understanding how to consider the family's interests. But now, it seemed otherwise, because, perhaps by then, Ye Xiao already knew how Fu Hongyi died, which is why Fu Donglai stopped him from finding Ye Xiao, to prevent the evil from being exposed.
"That beast!!!" Fu Tianjue's breathing started to quicken, and his face suddenly flushed red.
Ye Xiao watched Fu Tianjue at this moment, seeing everything clearly, because the True Qi within was scattered, and the meridians were blocked. Combined with the rush of blood, Fu Tianjue had signs of becoming possessed.
Ye Xiao didn't move, nor did Zhang Quan. Their gaze was fixed on Elder Fu, who founded the Fu family single-handedly and led it to glory.
"Go to hell!" Just then, a shadow dashed past swiftly to Fu Tianjue's back. With a glint of cold light, a dagger plunged harshly into Fu Tianjue's back.
Fu Tianjue was stabbed, and immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
However, who was Fu Tianjue? His strength had long reached the Earth Rank, so how could he die so easily?
With a furious roar, a powerful wave of energy suddenly erupted with him at the center. The wave caused the assassin to be flung away directly, falling heavily to the ground, knocked unconscious.
Ye Xiao couldn't help but step back two paces, but his eyes remained fixed on Fu Tianjue.
At this moment, Fu Tianjue appeared as if countless firecrackers were suddenly exploding on him, blood blooms bursting from his body one by one. Soon, Fu Tianjue fell heavily to the ground, his eyes wide open.
Clearly, he died with open eyes, unwilling to close them.
Ye Xiao secretly smiled; dying with open eyes was only fitting. No matter who you are, having a grandson like Fu Donglai would cause you to die with open eyes.
Zhang Quan watched Fu Tianjue fall and then immediately looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "He... how is he?"
Ye Xiao replied, "You can see for yourself, can't you?"
Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhang Quan's legs dared not move. Clearly, Fu Tianjue's formidable strength was something he had witnessed firsthand. Such a super strong man falling down made him truly question whether this was real death or a feigned one.
Ye Xiao looked at Zhang Quan, chuckled, and said, "Alright, you don't need to stay here anymore. Fu Tianjue is dead, Fu Donglai is now the rightful Family Head of the Fu family. Tell Fu Donglai to properly bury the person who assassinated his grandfather today, and I hope the Fu family will take my suggestions more seriously in the future."
"Yes! Yes!" Zhang Quan looked at Ye Xiao, not daring to show any defiance.
Zhang Quan had witnessed Ye Xiao's level of strength; someone who could cripple Fu Hongyi. These people were nothing but ants in front of Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao walked to Fu Tianjue's side. By now, Fu Tianjue was dead beyond dead. Ye Xiao took up the wooden box, clearly intending to take it away.
Zhang Quan watched but dared not utter a single word.
"Also, tell Fu Donglai, with Fu Tianjue dead, the Zhou family in the capital might soon come for you. Without Fu Tianjue, I believe the Fu family is no longer the Fu family it used to be." Ye Xiao laughed and said.
Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhang Quan was taken aback with shock. He and Fu Donglai had been intent on controlling the Fu family, but they were oblivious to the fact that Fu Tianjue and Fu Hongyi were the guarantees of the Fu family's invincibility. Without these two people, the Fu family indeed was not the same as before. Although Fu Donglai was a martial arts prodigy, his reputation had already spread. Wouldn't the Fu family's old enemies seize this opportunity to seek revenge?
Zhang Quan, being clever, quickly approached Ye Xiao, saying, "Mr. Ye, henceforth, the Fu family will look towards Mr. Ye as its leader. As long as Mr. Ye gives the word, we will spare no expense or effort."
Ye Xiao chuckled softly and said, "That's too kind. If Fu Donglai considers me a friend, haha, I am quite loyal to my friends."
"Indeed, Mr. Ye looks like a person of loyalty." Zhang Quan timely flattered him.
Ye Xiao said, "Alright, you all may leave."
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Quan hastily took those confidants away, not sparing a thought for Fu Tianjue's corpse.
Ye Xiao squatted down, looking at Fu Tianjue's eyes wide open, smiled and said, "Elder Fu, have a good journey. When you see Fu Hongyi, don't tell him how he died; otherwise, as ghosts, you'd still feel sad, wouldn't that be tragic?"
Ye Xiao reached out to close Fu Tianjue's eyes, then promptly moved to An Meihui's side.
The person who had just assassinated Fu Tianjue was none other than An Meihui.
An Meihui was already injured; just now when Fu Tianjue released his True Qi while becoming possessed, it had impacted An Meihui, so she was severely hurt.
At this moment, Ye Xiao heard the sounds of fighting outside.
"Capture them for me!" Zhang Quan shouted.
Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment. At this time, who else had come to this backyard?
Feeling puzzled, Ye Xiao directly picked up An Meihui and simultaneously grabbed the wooden box before running out. After rushing out, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It turned out that the people outside weren't others but Wang Luoxin and the Seven-colored Lamp.
"Stop!" Ye Xiao shouted.
At this moment, Zhang Quan's men and Wang Luoxin's group, who were fighting fiercely, immediately stopped and looked at Ye Xiao.
Upon seeing Ye Xiao, Wang Luoxin hurried over.
"Ye Xiao, are you okay?" Wang Luoxin looked at Ye Xiao with a little anxiety.
Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Of course, I'm fine. Why are you all here?"
At this time, Cheng Yun looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Big Sister and Purple Flame said it's too dangerous for you to face Fu Tianjue alone, so we came."
"So Purple Flame is so concerned about me, huh." Ye Xiao grinned at Purple Flame, who, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, immediately lowered her head and stammered, "I... I'm just listening to Big Sister."
Wang Luoxin said, "Ye Xiao, be serious, who is this?"
At this moment, everyone looked at An Meihui, who was being held by Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao looked at Zhang Quan and the others watching him and said, "This doesn't concern you anymore, hurry and find your Mr. Fu."
Zhang Quan heard this and immediately said, "Yes, we will go right away."
Zhang Quan and his men quickly left, looking very frightened, while Wang Luoxin and the others watched Ye Xiao curiously.
Ye Xiao said, "This person is An Meihui, an enemy of the Fu family, just like me. We both want to kill Fu Tianjue. His death here today is also thanks to her. Otherwise, who knows when that old guy would die."
"Fu Tianjue is dead?" Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, everyone in the Seven-colored Lamp was shocked, clearly not expecting that Fu Tianjue, the cornerstone of the Fu family, would be dead.
This meant that the Fu family suddenly lost three key members, leaving only Fu Donglai, who was no longer a threat.
Ye Xiao said, "Yes, he's dead. By the way, there's no need for you to stay here. The most dangerous person has already been dealt with. I'm entrusting you with a task: take this woman away and do your best to save her."
"Don't worry, I know you're particularly attentive to beauties," Wang Luoxin said with a bit of acidity.
Cheng Yun immediately laughed and said, "Ye Xiao, don't get too involved with other women. Otherwise, our Big Sister won't be happy."
"What are you saying? This has nothing to do with me. Just leave. There are so many dead people here, it's too unlucky," Wang Luoxin huffed.
Most people in the Seven-colored Lamp chuckled softly.
They then took An Meihui and left the Fu Mansion, naturally by climbing over the walls.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiao's gaze fell on the wooden box. At this moment, the box had already cracked, so Ye Xiao easily opened it with no effort and immediately saw something familiar inside. There were only three pages, but these three pages contained the fifth volume of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, titled Coiling Dragon as the Moon.
Ye Xiao folded the fifth volume of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, stuffed it into his clothes, and then shifted his gaze back to the wooden box. Inside, there were three more manuals, a separate note, and a medicine bottle.
Ye Xiao picked up the three martial arts manuals and upon reading the titles, couldn't help but silently smile. One was the complete text of the Wind Shadow Steps, while the other two were the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fist and Taiyin Skill.
Ye Xiao had heard of the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fist before. Even among Earth Rank skills, it was considered a top-notch manual, belonging to a very robust martial art. Since Ye Xiao had learned the Nine Yang Divine Skill, this Heavenly Gang Thunder Fist seemed quite suitable for him to practice.
However, he had never heard of the Taiyin Skill, and what surprised Ye Xiao the most was the special material of its pages, which appeared very ancient. Yet, the three characters for Taiyin Skill seemed not too worn. As Ye Xiao touched the words Taiyin Skill, he suddenly felt that the area of these characters was slightly elevated compared to other parts, although only slightly, Ye Xiao could still feel it.
Upon closer inspection, Ye Xiao discovered that the Taiyin Skill was written on a note pasted onto the cover. Carefully removing the Taiyin Skill note, he suddenly froze.
At this point, where the words Taiyin Skill used to be, there were now four characters.
"Nine Yin Phoenix Skill!"
Ye Xiao read these four characters aloud in astonishment.
