"We both belong to the Flame Dragon Team. If what you're doing gets found out by the higher-ups, you might get in serious trouble." Ye Xiao said, "Moreover, the Flame Dragon Team's duty is to protect the country and its people, and you have two innocent people in your hands."

"You're really naive, but that's not surprising. You haven't been in the Flame Dragon Team for long, and you've always been outside, so naturally, your thinking is still quite simple," Liuyue said with a smile. "I originally wanted to have a talk with you, but after thinking it over, I feel that killing you would be the simplest solution."

"You want Bird City?" Ye Xiao immediately asked, "If you can remove those criminal forces, I'm willing to let you have it."

"Saying your thinking is simple, it's really simple," Liuyue chuckled and said, "If all the mice are killed, what would the cat eat?"

"What you just said is quite irresponsible." Ye Xiao said.

"Cut the nonsense. You've already gotten quite a bit of money in Minghai City. Unfortunately, you won't live to spend it. However, if you're willing to give up these two girls, I wouldn't mind letting you live," Liuyue said with a wicked smile. "To be honest, these two girls of yours are truly something. As you know, people from the Flame Dragon Team are all quite masculine, and my self-control isn't great."

"I advise you not to do anything that would cost you your life. If any harm comes to my people, I will break your bones." Ye Xiao said angrily.

"Hehe, still as arrogant as ever. Indeed, just like someone from the Flame Dragon Team. Alright, I'll give you a chance. I'll be waiting for you at Tiande Warehouse. You better hurry, or we might end up in a bridal chamber." Liuyue's words were filled with a sinister tone; he wasn't joking with Ye Xiao.

The call ended.

Ye Xiao's face became even darker as he hailed a taxi.

"To Tiande Warehouse!" Ye Xiao said to the driver after getting in the car.

"Tiande Warehouse?" the driver said upon hearing it, "That's been abandoned for years, sir, you are…"

Ye Xiao said nothing and pulled out ten red banknotes from his pocket, throwing them into the car.

The driver's eyes widened in surprise, and he dared not ask further questions. He then quickly drove off, ignoring every red light on the way.

Tiande Warehouse was located on the outskirts of Jinling District. A few years ago, it was doing well, but then bigger warehouses opened in Jinling District, and Tiande Warehouse gradually declined. After a few theft incidents, it went bankrupt.

Tiande Warehouse has been abandoned for years now.

Standing at the entrance of Tiande Warehouse, Ye Xiao looked at the overgrown weeds inside. Not far away, he saw the white BMW with bullet holes all over, and he headed inside the warehouse.

As soon as he entered, three or four people appeared from the side.

Ye Xiao stopped and looked at them.

"You are Ye Xiao, right?" a medium-built young man looked at Ye Xiao and asked.

"Yes!" Ye Xiao replied simply.

"Then come with us," the young man looked at Ye Xiao and said.

Ye Xiao followed the three or four people inside.

Tiande Warehouse covered a large area, and because it had been abandoned for years, the ground was covered with weeds and pebbles. About halfway through, the young man pointed to a ware-room, saying, "In there, go in yourself."

Ye Xiao glanced at the young man and then at the ware-room, and coldly said, "Since you've come all this way, you might as well go in with me."

"No need, we'll stay and watch from here." The young man said, his voice just as cold.

Ye Xiao looked at the ware-room, approximately at the center of Tiande Warehouse. After thinking for a moment, he walked in directly.

The ware-room was quite large, but it was empty except for a few dozen people, among them was the one called Liuyue.

"You came pretty fast," Liuyue said with a smile, looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "Where are they?"

Liuyue smiled slightly, then snapped his fingers. Instantly, Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing were brought out at gunpoint by a few people.

"Ye Xiao!" Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing were startled upon seeing Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao's previously grim face softened considerably upon seeing them.

"Are you two alright?" Ye Xiao asked them gently.

"Ye Xiao, you shouldn't have come," Fang Jing shouted at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao chuckled softly and said, "How could I not come?"

"Well said, Ye Xiao. I suppose you've always considered yourself an expert. If you want these two girls, it's simple—kill me. If you can kill me, haha, these two girls are yours," Liuyue sneered at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Fine."

"Haha, it seems you've compared me to opponents you've faced before. But it doesn't matter. Today, I'll show you what kind of person qualifies to become a Flame Dragon!" Liuyue smiled faintly, his body swayed, and he approached Ye Xiao by seven or eight meters.

Surprisingly, within that seven or eight-meter distance, Liuyue seemed to teleport.

Ye Xiao considered himself quite wild, but the present Liuyue appeared even wilder, with an arrogance that disregarded everything.

However, Ye Xiao dared not be presumptuous. The Flame Dragon Team housed hidden talents; all sorts of prodigies might emerge. At just nineteen years old, Ye Xiao had reached his current level due to the Nine Yang Divine Skill. But the opponent was at least twenty-five, and even without the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he cultivated other mental methods—if of extraordinary talent, might even be comparable or superior.

While Ye Xiao was observing Liuyue, Liuyue's figure flickered again, and he moved.

Ye Xiao was clearly waiting for Liuyue, and when Liuyue moved, Ye Xiao also sprang into motion. Instantly, two shadows converged.

The others present couldn't distinguish who was who among the shadows, only hearing bursts of explosive sounds.

"Watch my fist!" A mocking laugh echoed beside Ye Xiao's ear; a fist rushed towards Ye Xiao's head like a meteor.

The speed was exceptionally fast; even Ye Xiao was taken aback, retreating swiftly, yet he could feel a powerful force grazing his hair.

Just a little more, and Ye Xiao might have been doomed.

The two separated by a distance of more than ten meters!

"Haha, not bad, huh? Too bad your speed is still lacking," Liuyue laughed proudly, his arrogance even greater.

From their initial exchange, Ye Xiao realized the strength of Liuyue was extraordinary and comparable to his, yet slightly superior before entering the Mad God State.

Therefore, this time Ye Xiao was the first to attack.

Ye Xiao's body swayed, zipping like lightning before Liuyue. A hand shaped like a claw abruptly transformed into a fist.

Nine Yang Heavenly Thunder Fist!

Ye Xiao shouted angrily, a fist imbued with crackling lightning elements struck fiercely towards Liuyue.

Liuyue's face still relaxed and mocking, showed a slight shock; evidently, he hadn't expected Ye Xiao's profound martial technique.

Yet, what surprised Liuyue most was not the power of the fist itself but the fact that he had never seen this fist technique before.

Among the Flame Dragon Team, diverse rare martial techniques were abundant, giving talented martial artists ample opportunity for growth. Yet, Liuyue had seen many techniques—perhaps not hundreds, but dozens—and encountered even more during combats. However, he had never seen Ye Xiao's fist technique.

Because it was unseen before, and the momentum was mighty, Liuyue didn't confront it head-on; instead, he quickly maneuvered, narrowly evading Ye Xiao's Nine Yang Heavenly Thunder Fist.

Boom!

A loud bang resonated inside the warehouse; Ye Xiao's fist didn't hit Liuyue, but the violent Nine Yang True Qi struck the ground, creating a bowl-sized pit.

Seeing the pit, not only was Liuyue surprised, but Ye Xiao was also startled; he hadn't anticipated the modified Heavenly Gang Thunder Fist, based on the Nine Yang Divine Skill, could wield such immense power. No, it could no longer be called Heavenly Gang Thunder Fist but should be Nine Yang Heavenly Thunder Fist.

Ye Xiao looked towards Liuyue, who dodged aside, his smile richer; Liuyue was smilingly watching Ye Xiao.

"Impressive, impressive, this fist technique seems rare as well, and your Inner Strength is formidable. Haha, looks like today I've met a tough nut," Liuyue didn't appear displeased but laughed heartily, as if encountering something delightful.

"Liuyue, we both belong to the Flame Dragon. If we fight until we're both severely injured, others will mock us," Ye Xiao said seriously to Liuyue. "So..."

"Haha, you mean let's not fight?" Liuyue laughed again, then immediately said, "Too bad, you're foolish, but I'm not. Since things have reached this point, today one should walk out while the other falls eternally."

Ye Xiao looked at Liuyue again and said, "We are born of the same root; why torment each other so intensely? Liuyue, we shouldn't be enemies."

Ye Xiao truly didn't want to fight Liuyue. Liuyue's strength was slightly greater, but possessing the Nine Yang Divine Skill and Mad God Skill, Ye Xiao felt he could undoubtedly prevail, at the very least, wouldn't be defeated easily.
