At this moment, Shen Qiuyu was really giving it her all without holding back. Although the four people in front of her were not very cooperative with each other, their strength was undeniably substantial; each one was at the Yellow Rank Late Stage. Although she herself was at the peak of Yellow Rank, against four to one, even immense skill wouldn't suffice!

Moreover, just before she had started fighting these people, Shen Qiuyu had immediately called Ye Xiao, but infuriatingly, Ye Xiao's phone was continuously unanswered. Ye Xiao had left earlier today after picking up a call from a woman, so Shen Qiuyu guessed that at this critical moment of life and death, Ye Xiao must have gone off to flirt with women. She really wanted to ask him whether flirting with girls was more important than their safety!

Shen Qiuyu suddenly threw a punch, and one of the men at the Yellow Rank Late Stage immediately retreated sharply. However, at that moment, the other three seized the opportunity and swiftly launched their fatal moves towards Shen Qiuyu!

Shen Qiuyu also realized this, so she dared not carelessly dodge; while she barely managed to avoid one, she couldn't dodge the other three. Consequently, one of the punches hit Shen Qiuyu, pushing her back repeatedly, and this wasn't the first time she'd been struck!

By now, Shen Qiuyu had also sustained serious injuries within her body. After all, facing four opponents simultaneously, she could manage the left but not the right, handle the top but not the bottom!

"Little girl, if you would just agree to be with us brothers, today we'll give you a chance to experience spring, haha!" one of the four men burst out laughing while uttering filthy words!

Hearing this man's words, Shen Qiuyu's anger surged uncontrollably as she quickly stepped forward and slapped the man across his face. The man was smacked hard, and in anger, he shouted loudly, "Damn, you dare to hit me? Brothers, today we must beat her until she is willing to stay with us!"

With that, the man immediately attempted to advance towards Shen Qiuyu, and the other three moved in as well; but as he started to step forward, he found himself unable to move forward as if someone was pulling him from behind!

He knew it was only them in the vicinity; how could there be someone else? The man instinctively turned around and saw a pale-faced young man standing behind him; the one who had tugged at his clothes was this young man!

Enraged, having already been hit by Shen Qiuyu, and now feeling provoked by another, he swung his fist towards the young man. The young man's hands moved incredibly fast, grabbing the fist and immediately covering the man's mouth with his other hand. The young man's face carried a seemingly kind smile, but at that moment, he suddenly exerted force on his hand, breaking the bones in the man's hand. The man instinctively yelled out, but the young man's other hand covered his mouth, muffling the sounds completely, especially since it was raining heavily, making it impossible for the others to hear him!

The young man said nothing, smashing the man's hand bones, and then threw a punch right into the man's face, distorting it severely!

The young man was indeed very cruel. After that punch to the face, the man was already dazed and unable to make any sound, but at that moment, the young man kicked hard at the man's groin, and a faint sound was heard. The man's previously confused mind suddenly cleared up with a painful scream!

This time, the young man couldn't keep him quiet!

That kick from the young man was exceedingly ruthless, shattering the man's most important part in the groin!

The man's scream was so loud, it attracted the attention of those still fighting, and once they noticed the young man and their companion, writhing in agony on the ground, they immediately understood what had happened!

"Boss!"

"Ye Xiao!"

Shen Qiuyu and Zhou Hao saw the young man, and instantly felt overjoyed!

The young man was none other than Ye Xiao!

Everyone has certain lines that must not be crossed, and one of Ye Xiao's lines was that he could not tolerate hearing vulgar remarks about someone, especially when those crude remarks were targeted at Shen Qiuyu. In Ye Xiao's heart, Shen Qiuyu was as pure and sacred as a Holy Daughter, absolutely not to be insulted. However, this man had blatantly attempted to challenge Ye Xiao's bottom line, so Ye Xiao made his move!

Ye Xiao smiled faintly, and despite the rain, his smile was visible to everyone present!

"Folks, I just crippled your mate. Don't you want to avenge him? Or do you just want to stand by and watch the show?" Ye Xiao clearly was provoking these people, but his words indeed took effect, as those who were happily fighting Zhou Hao and Shen Qiuyu saw their seriously wounded companion and immediately charged at Ye Xiao!

This was precisely what Ye Xiao wanted to see; Zhou Hao and Shen Qiuyu were already tired from fighting.

"Take a break, I'll handle these guys," Ye Xiao said lightly and casually to Zhou Hao and Shen Qiuyu!

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Shen Qiuyu and Zhou Hao immediately looked at him with concern, as there were now seven people surrounding Ye Xiao!

Those people surrounded Ye Xiao and without a word, charged at him swiftly, all shouting as if they wanted to kill Ye Xiao on the spot!

However, Ye Xiao stood still, unafraid as he faced the crowd charging towards him, his face smiling brightly!

The people capable of forcing Zhou Hao and Shen Qiuyu to retreat definitely were not at the Yellow Rank Middle Stage; after all, a single person at the Yellow Rank Peak could easily handle seven or eight people at the Yellow Rank Middle Stage. These guys were definitely close to the Yellow Rank Peak late-stage Martial Artists!

Those Martial Artists were about to get close to Ye Xiao when they suddenly found something very strange—Ye Xiao had disappeared!

That's right, Ye Xiao had really vanished right before their eyes!

A person couldn't just disappear suddenly, no matter how powerful they were, because eventually, everyone is human, not a deity, and Martial Artists are no exception!

Just as they were astonished by Ye Xiao's disappearance, one of the seven men suddenly collapsed, and the remaining six immediately looked towards Ye Xiao, only to find him standing behind the fallen comrade!

Obviously, Ye Xiao hadn't vanished; he was simply too fast, and the rainfall obscured their vision so they hadn't seen Ye Xiao disappear!

After all, Ye Xiao's strength, compared to everyone present, was overwhelmingly superior!

Ye Xiao was now nearing Mid-stage Xuan Rank, stronger than an average Mid-stage Xuan Rank Martial Artist. Hence, at this stage, Ye Xiao could be considered invincible, not to mention against these Late-stage Yellow Rank Martial Artists. His speed was beyond their imagination!

Ah—

Seeing that Ye Xiao had knocked out a comrade without them noticing, they were terribly alarmed!

Had he been knocked out?

These people just saw their comrade fall rigidly, but they didn't really know why he had fallen.

Was it really a faint?

Not the case, at least Ye Xiao was entirely certain now that the man who had fallen wasn't just knocked out—he was dead!

That's right, he was dead!

Why Ye Xiao hadn't killed that particular man before was to torment him. A man deprived of what's most important to him might as well be a walking corpse. Wasn't that more satisfying than killing him? But for this man, Ye Xiao had no reason to leave him alive, so he simply twisted his head, instantly breaking his neck!

Ye Xiao was a ruthless man!

In dealing with his enemies, the cruelty that Ye Xiao displayed was maybe enough to make even a hardened assassin flinch in fear!

"The first one!" Ye Xiao muttered these three words indifferently.

What—

Hearing the three words that Ye Xiao spoke, they were all confused, clearly not understanding what Ye Xiao meant by "the first one".

But soon, they understood!

Ye Xiao wasn't counting down; he was claiming lives!

Ye Xiao's form flickered, and he appeared in front of the second man almost instantly. The man saw Ye Xiao appear before him, his eyes wide open in shock, obviously clueless about what Ye Xiao intended to do!

But in that moment, Ye Xiao's hand moved as fast as lightning to grab the man's head and twisted it effortlessly!

The only sound was a crisp 'crack', and that man's eyes bulged wide, seeming to want to say something. But he would never speak again, not because he didn't want to, but because Ye Xiao didn't care to listen!

Ye Xiao softly uttered again, "The second one!"

Ah—

By this time, the remaining five had realized what Ye Xiao's counting meant: count one, kill one, pausing after each kill rather than swiftly moving on, leaving these standers-by terrified out of their minds!

While Martial Artists may be prideful, they are also well aware of their limitations. Low-level Martial Artists, upon realizing that their opponent's strength was vastly superior—perhaps even beyond their class—might give up resisting.

It wasn't that they didn't wish to resist, but as Martial Artists, they knew that facing an opponent multiple times stronger only meant a more brutal death, a practice nearly accepted as customary!

And now, Ye Xiao's eyes were focused on his next target!
