Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 996: Tiger-Slaying Hero


The white tiger, perhaps understanding Ye Xiao's words, suddenly charged at him, fiercely rushing straight at Ye Xiao.

"Damn, it's for real!" Ye Xiao exclaimed as he saw the white tiger charging at him. However, he wasn't afraid at all. With a chuckle in his heart, he thought, "You beast, do you really think I'm scared of you?"

Ye Xiao immediately sprinted towards the white tiger. In the blink of an eye, the man and the tiger collided.

Ye Xiao was no stranger to wolves, tigers, and leopards. During a mission in Lijiazhou, he unexpectedly encountered a Lijiazhou lion. Back then, relying on his Yellow Rank Peak strength, he fought the Lijiazhou lion and skinned it for roast meat.

Boom!

The white tiger and Ye Xiao hit the ground almost simultaneously.

Then, with a thud, the white tiger collapsed.

Ye Xiao turned his head and smiled slightly. Now, as a master at the Peak of Xuan Rank, if he needed a lot of effort to deal with a white tiger, how would he survive in the future?

Then, Ye Xiao walked over to the white tiger's corpse, looked at it, and smiled, "This Fire Demolishing Palm is still so useful."

Having said this, Ye Xiao continued to climb Cold Moon Mountain.

If someone were there, they'd be astonished. The massive white tiger's forehead, now devoid of fur in a fist-sized area, looked scorched. The skin and flesh appeared as if they had been cooked.

After playing the role of a tiger-slaying hero, Ye Xiao didn't consider it a big deal and continued onward.

Initially, Ye Xiao thought that fighting with the white tiger would cost him some energy. However, he forgot that his current strength at the Peak of Xuan Rank required only one or two tenths of his power to flip the white tiger over.

Killing the white tiger didn't elicit any feelings in Ye Xiao, and two hours or so passed in the blink of an eye.

Finally, as he grew tired of climbing, Ye Xiao noticed a change beneath his feet.

The previously arduous mountain path had widened considerably, with proper steps. After walking for a few more minutes, Ye Xiao saw a tall stone tablet beside the steps, inscribed with 'Cold Star Green Moon.'

Cold Star Green Moon!

Ye Xiao smiled slightly, knowing he had reached the Cold Moon Sect.

He had heard the old men of Qiu Mountain mention that the full name of Cold Moon Sect was actually Cold Star Green Moon Sect but it was shortened to Cold Moon Sect for convenience.

"Who stands at the gate of the sect?"

As Ye Xiao observed the inscription written in regular script, he suddenly noticed three individuals standing above the steps. All were women, dressed in plain blue clothing with a crescent moon emblem in the center.

In Cold Moon Sect, the majority of disciples were women, with exceptions made for a few male disciples.

If it had been a few men questioning him, Ye Xiao might have thought he was in the wrong place.

Ye Xiao looked at the three women with a smile and said, "Greetings, my name is Ye Xiao, and I'm here looking for someone."

"Ye Xiao?" One of the three girls instantly turned icy and said, "Are you Ye Xiao from Minghai City?"

Ye Xiao from Minghai City?

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao smiled slightly, realizing his reputation was indeed significant within the Cold Moon Sect.

Ye Xiao hastily said, "I didn't expect even you to know my name."

"Who wants to know your name? You killed my senior brother Zhi Han!" The woman shouted, charging at Ye Xiao. Somehow, she had already drawn a long sword, aiming straight for Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao and the woman stood twenty or thirty meters apart. Yet, she descended swiftly, her high cultivation allowing her to reach Ye Xiao in an instant, her sword almost piercing his heart.

Ye Xiao moved his feet, demonstrating the excellence of Wind Shadow Steps, and with just a small shift, he evaded her deadly blow.

As Ye Xiao dodged the woman's strike, the other Cold Moon disciples who had been with her also rushed at Ye Xiao, wielding swords in a similarly lethal manner.

Ye Xiao didn't counterattack but continuously dodged left and right.

"Hey, ladies, let's talk this over. Why the need to risk lives?" Ye Xiao didn't dare to truly fight back. After all, he was here to find someone, and he didn't know the specifics of why Qin Yulu had been taken by Cold Moon Sect. His greatest fear was that if he acted rashly, Qin Yulu might be harmed, which would be a huge problem.

Ye Xiao leaped quickly, agilely dodging attacks, reaching the top of a tree in just a few steps. He casually snapped off a branch, looked down at the three women below, and smiled, "Ladies, can't we just talk this out instead of getting rough?"

As Ye Xiao spoke, the three women once again leaped towards him.

"You bastard, how dare you kill Senior Brother Zhi Han? Today, I'll seek revenge for him." The Cold Moon Sect woman who first attacked Ye Xiao said angrily.

Ye Xiao heard the woman's words again and immediately laughed, thinking to himself, could they be Hu Zhihan's junior sisters? This is too coincidental, just arrived at Cold Moon Sect and already met a nemesis?

Originally, Ye Xiao did not intend to be rough with these women, but now it seems that if he keeps evading, apart from wasting time, there doesn't seem to be any other benefit. Thus, Ye Xiao decided to strike.

Ye Xiao's posture was agile; the branch in his hand was like a sword, deftly avoiding the long swords of the women and strikingly hitting the back of one's hand. Suddenly, with an 'ah', the woman's sword fell to the ground. Ye Xiao reached out, grabbed the long sword, and flicked his wrist. The long sword shot into an ancient tree like a sharp arrow, with the entire sword body embedded in it, leaving only the hilt outside.

The remaining two women, feeling their comrade was humiliated, attacked Ye Xiao again.

The same method, the same trick, the same sword embedded into the tree.

The three women showed a look of surprise.

Hu Zhihan once said that in Minghai City, he encountered someone with equivalent strength.

But now it seems, this is not mere equivalence, he's an exceptional martial arts master.

"Ladies, Ye Xiao means no offense, but I am here today not to provoke, but to find someone," Ye Xiao politely smiled at the three women.

"I don't know who you are, but despite your strength, you dared to stir trouble at Cold Moon Sect today, you will surely pay a heavy price," one of the women said to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said, "No matter what happens, I am determined to take away the person I came for today."

"You won't take them away, because you can't leave either!" At this moment, a voice came from above.

Ye Xiao looked up and saw a man, dressed in white, with a somewhat scholarly appearance.

Ye Xiao looked at the man and asked with a smile, "I heard Cold Moon Sect only accepts women, not men. How come? Are you with Cold Moon Sect too?"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, the man wasn't displeased at all. Instead, he chuckled softly and said, "I don't waste words on those about to die."

Ye Xiao, hearing this, couldn't help but smile more broadly. This guy is even more arrogant than Hu Zhihan.

"Alright, before I die, at least tell me who's supposed to kill me," Ye Xiao said.

"Ye Xiao, listen carefully, this is Wangg Chongming. Surely you wouldn't say you haven't heard of him, right?" At this moment, one of the previous three women spoke.

Wangg Chongming?

Ye Xiao thought for a moment; he had heard of him. Every sect has one or two notable people, and because of Cold Moon Sect's uniqueness, the fact about an exceptionally talented male disciple was widely spread, so Ye Xiao had some knowledge of this name.

At this moment, the three women looked at Wangg Chongming with infatuation.

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said, "So this is Wangg Chongming, nice to meet you, but I really haven't heard of you. Moreover, I'm genuinely puzzled; Cold Moon Sect adheres to generation ranks, but I've never heard of a Chong generation at Cold Moon Sect, or am I just ignorant?"

Cold Moon Sect is a unique sect because it exclusively accepts women; although it occasionally accepts men, men have no rank. That is to say, the female disciples of this generation all have rank names, but Wangg Chongming, despite being a prodigious talent, does not.

This has been Wangg Chongming's sole torment to date.

"Kid, you're causing trouble at Cold Moon Sect without reason, today I'll escort you down the mountain." The moment Wangg Chongming finished speaking, he moved to charge at Ye Xiao.

At this moment, the three women present looked at Wangg Chongming in his white attire with excitement.

"Senior Brother Chongming is so handsome; he has exceptional skills, Ye Xiao is no match at all!"

"That's right, Senior Brother Chongming is the most powerful among our Cold Moon Sect's younger generation."

Their words painted Wangg Chongming like a Heavenly God descending.

However, after two or three rounds of combat with Ye Xiao, no expected superiority was evident.

"Seems you have a few tricks," Wangg Chongming said coldly, looking at Ye Xiao in battle.

Ye Xiao humbly smiled and said, "I'm originally very weak; it's just that the existence of someone weaker highlights my strength a bit, but it's all an illusion."

Damn!

When Wangg Chongming heard Ye Xiao's words, he suddenly had the urge to instantly eliminate him. If you're impressive, be it, but why must you boast so feignedly?
