Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed at the moment Ye Xiao and Qi Xianglin clashed, and everyone present widened their eyes at the two in the arena.

Ye Xiao's fist collided with Qi Xianglin's fist from above, and the strong waves of inner power true qi directly sent the cement bricks around them flying. If one didn't know better, they might have thought someone detonated a bomb here.

The Wind Blade Fist is an exceptional martial art among martial artists, yet the Nine Yang Heavenly Thunder Fist, modified by the Nine Yang Divine Skill, is surprisingly powerful.

"This..." Jiang Zhongzheng watched Ye Xiao and Qi Xianglin produce such explosive sounds, feeling greatly astonished, almost unbelievable, and immediately looked to his father beside him.

Jiang Wuqi remained silent, his eyes seriously fixed on Ye Xiao. Yes, his gaze never left Ye Xiao; he was indeed very surprised, as he had never imagined Ye Xiao would reach such a level now.

Similarly, Qi Xianglin never expected Ye Xiao to have such prowess.

At this moment, Qi Xianglin could only be described as surprised; he never thought Ye Xiao could possess a martial art comparable to the Wind Blade Fist.

After that massive explosion sound, Ye Xiao and Qi Xianglin quickly parted ways, with Qi Xianglin retreating a few steps while Ye Xiao flipped several times in the air to dissipate the impact from the Wind Blade Fist. After landing, he stumbled but managed to steady himself eventually.

After stabilizing himself, Ye Xiao felt his blood rushing rapidly. Clearly, he had already been injured during the previous fight at the Liu family and was forced to confront the situation. Now his injury was gradually worsening.

Meanwhile, Qi Xianglin, initially with a healthy complexion, was now slightly pale. He never expected the boy he deemed a child, Ye Xiao, to exhibit such formidable strength, quite frankly astounding.

Qi Xianglin subtly maneuvered his true qi and looked towards Ye Xiao, feeling hesitant about engaging in another bout.

Indeed, Qi Xianglin was quite proud, but with age comes experience. He was the one insisting on the fight today, and considering Ye Xiao's prowess wasn't much different from his, continuing might not guarantee a win for him. If he emerged victorious, it would appear as an elder disciplining the young, but what if Qi Xianglin were to lose? That would be rather disgraceful, with no place to hide his face in the future.

Qi Xianglin hesitated, and Ye Xiao felt similarly. He sensed his qi wasn't flowing smoothly, so a continued fight would certainly be detrimental. Thus, he was waiting: if Qi Xianglin insisted on fighting, Ye Xiao would oblige, but he would rather avoid combat if possible.

To outsiders, the two masters were confronting each other as part of a tactical display, making the spectators keenly interested.

Yet, Jiang Wuqi was clever, and he could easily discern the thoughts of these two, losing interest in appreciating the battle. Moreover, he felt the situation was sufficient; despite Ye Xiao and Qi Xianglin only having clashed a few times, their similar strengths were apparent. Continuing would've only led to mutual destruction.

Thus, Jiang Wuqi stepped over, smiling.

Seeing Jiang Wuqi approaching, Qi Xianglin felt embarrassed and stubbornly moved toward Ye Xiao once again. But, at this moment, Jiang Wuqi smiled and said to Qi Xianglin, "Xianglin, Ye Xiao already understands your prowess; there's no need to fight again."

Jiang Wuqi's conversational skill eclipsed the ordinary; he knew the person most concerned with saving face was Qi Xianglin, given Qi Xianglin's age. So, Jiang Wuqi generously honored Qi Xianglin.

Qi Xianglin, of course, understood Jiang Wuqi's intent. Looking at Ye Xiao again, he laughed heartily and said, "Haha, Brother Jiang, I'm just playing with this youngster. Since you're concerned about me harming him, let's call it off. But this boy's strength is commendable."

Qi Xianglin assumed the demeanor of a master, as if he hadn't been disadvantaged.

Ye Xiao subtly smiled wryly. Though Qi Xianglin was indeed proud, he was also rather thick-skinned.

Naturally, this outcome was exactly what Ye Xiao desired. If he defeated Qi Xianglin today without restraint, it would first mean dishonoring Jiang Wuqi, and second, it would reveal all his strengths to everyone. No matter how impressive you are, if everyone knows your cards, it's greatly unfavorable.

Moreover, Ye Xiao wasn't particularly keen for everyone to know his full capabilities.

Jiang Wuqi laughed at Ye Xiao, asking, "Ye Xiao, do you have any objections?"

Ye Xiao replied with a smile, "Elder Qi was gracious in holding back; this junior is immensely grateful!"

Ye Xiao indeed granted Qi Xianglin much respect with this response, and Qi Xianglin, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, looked at him. Ye Xiao's expression remained composed.

Qi Xianglin stared at Ye Xiao intently for a good three seconds before turning back to Jiang Wuqi, laughing and saying, "Brother Jiang, it's getting late; I must return to the Qi family. After all, coming back once is indeed not easy."

"I will accompany you!" Jiang Wuqi smiled.

"No need for formalities between us," Qi Xianglin chuckled, then turned to Ye Xiao, saying, "Young man, take care of yourself."

Upon finishing, Qi Xianglin walked directly outside, while Jiang Zhongzheng immediately said, "Elder Qi, let me see you off."

Jiang Zhongzheng went to accompany Qi Xianglin, and Jiang Wuqi looked at Ye Xiao, smiling, saying, "You two have damaged quite a bit of my yard."

Ye Xiao replied, "Elder, I truly had no choice."

Jiang Wuqi naturally understood Ye Xiao's predicament, saying, "Let's talk inside."

Afterward, Ye Xiao and Jiang Wuqi returned to the main hall.

Both sat down.

Jiang Wuqi looked at Ye Xiao, asking, "How's your physical condition?"

Ye Xiao replied, "Fine!"

"Don't overextend yourself; Qi Xianglin was indeed quite forceful today," Jiang Wuqi said.

Ye Xiao understood Jiang Wuqi noticed his injury and sighed, saying, "Actually, Elder Qi wasn't particularly forceful; I've just suffered a few minor injuries over the past couple of days..."

"Oh?" Jiang Wuqi, hearing this, was even more astonished.

Could it be that Ye Xiao fought Qi Xianglin while carrying an internal injury? If so, Ye Xiao's strength is even more remarkable.
