Ye Xiao looked towards the two long swords approaching rapidly from afar, which, in the blink of an eye, arrived at his side and stabbed swiftly towards his body!

At this moment, both Hei Laoda and Hei Laoer, including the surrounding area of their long swords, had a layer of faint True Qi glow!

When Ye Xiao saw this, he was slightly startled, followed by a wave of surprise!

If it was only some True Qi contained within the long swords, Ye Xiao wouldn't have been surprised, but now, even Hei Laoda and Hei Laoer had a layer of True Qi, which allowed Ye Xiao to accurately determine the strength level of these two!

The ranks of Martial Artists were very strict, and precisely because they were so strict, each rank had its unique effects. The effect of a Yellow Rank Martial Artist was to strengthen muscles and skin. While it's not exactly impenetrable to swords and guns, it would be immensely difficult for an average person to inflict any damage on a high-level Yellow Rank expert!

And to determine whether a person had reached the Xuan Rank, one had to see if they could meet the conditions of expelling True Qi outside their body. The so-called external expulsion of True Qi meant that the Inner Power True Qi inside one's body could be expelled under control, forming a True Qi aura that typically was invisible to ordinary people and could only be seen by someone of the same rank, or a Martial Artist of a higher rank!

Since the True Qi expelled by Xuan Rank Martial Artists wasn't abundant, only a thin layer that at first glance resembled a gauze garment, it was also known as True Qi Gauze!

A Martial Artist with True Qi Gauze was invincible below the Xuan Rank, and regardless of the attack strength of any Martial Artist below the Xuan Rank, they would not be able to break through this True Qi Gauze!

At this time, both men in black possessed True Qi Gauze, so obviously, they were both definitely Xuan Rank Martial Artists!

While there might be only one word difference between a Xuan Rank Martial Artist and a Yellow Rank, their strength levels were as different as heaven and earth!

Ye Xiao dared not be careless as his mind stirred, and a thin True Qi Gauze appeared around his body as well. However, his True Qi Gauze was not the same as those of the men in black; it was an orange-red color. It was faint, but you could still make it out!

Facing two Xuan Rank Martial Artists, after expelling his True Qi, Ye Xiao then turned his hands from palms to claws, emitting a sound like an eagle's cry, which was clearly the Eagle Claw Skill he had learned from Guan Chongshan!

The Eagle Claw Skill had similarities with the Fire Dragon Claw, once employed, one's hands could rival ordinary steel in toughness!

Clang! Clang!

Two crisp sounds rang out as Ye Xiao, using his Eagle Claw Skill, deflected the long swords of the two men!

Ye Xiao rapidly darted to one side with a sudden leap, and the two men in black, seeing Ye Xiao darting away and thinking he was running, quickly chased after him!

One against two!

Ye Xiao might not have completely figured out the strength of these two, but from their initial contact, he could sense that the strength of these two individuals was merely in the early phase of Xuan Rank. Both men clearly used cunning strength, which was very different from others who engaged in battle with brute physical force!

If Ye Xiao were to unleash his full strength, he could naturally eliminate one quickly, but in doing so, he might expose himself to danger from behind!

While a Martial Artist with True Qi Gauze was indeed invincible in front of a Yellow Rank Martial Artist, its effect was far less impressive in front of Martial Artists of the same rank!

Moreover, at this moment, facing two sword-wielding adversaries, with Ye Xiao having only his Eagle Claws to count on, clearly put him at a disadvantage!

Swoosh! Swoosh!

With a sudden glint of cold light, the two long swords, like venomous snakes, stabbed fiercely towards Ye Xiao once again. His figure was extremely agile, and moreover, possessing the Wind Shadow Steps, he was inherently faster in movement speed than these two men.

Therefore, Ye Xiao once again narrowly dodged this successive sword thrust!

After a few rounds of intense battle, Hei Laoda and Hei Laoer, seeing they could not prevail in a two-on-one fight, exchanged a look with serious expressions. The two suddenly joined forces, moving in an 'S' pattern as they zigzagged towards Ye Xiao, their voices confident as they loudly declared, "Chain Light and Shadow Sword!"

While battling these two men, Ye Xiao was also continuously searching for their weaknesses, knowing that finding one could quickly subdue the enemy!

However, at this moment, the crisscrossing Chain Light and Shadow Sword suddenly emerged, and the routine of the two swords truly took Ye Xiao by surprise. It wasn't that their Inner Power True Qi was so formidable, but the threat posed by this so-called Chain Light and Shadow Sword was immense!

With a serious expression, Ye Xiao retreated explosively, but he quickly found there was no place to retreat, as there was now a wall behind him!

Seeing this situation, Hei Laoda and Hei Laoer immediately became very pleased, and their long swords followed the routine of the Chain Light and Shadow Sword, stabbing towards Ye Xiao's heart like lightning!

The two swords were like meat grinders, moving at an incredibly fast speed. If Ye Xiao really got hit by the Chain Light and Shadow Sword, then there was only death for him, no other possibility.

However, to the disbelief of Hei Laoda and Hei Laoer, after Ye Xiao had no room left to retreat, instead of dodging, he stood still, staring intently at the approaching Chain Light and Shadow Sword!

Had this guy been scared witless?

This thought almost completely occupied the minds of Hei Laoda and Hei Laoer. But, had Ye Xiao really been scared witless? Obviously, that was not possible. At this moment, Ye Xiao's mind was racing with thoughts!

The technique deployed by the two men together was actually a very small Array, and no matter how formidable an Array was, there was always a way to break it. Once pressured, the casters of the Array would be subject to backlash from the Array's power!

And at the moment, Ye Xiao's eyes were constantly searching for that so-called weak point in the Array!

The very small Array that Hei Laoda and Hei Laoer had deployed, which was the Chain Light and Shadow Sword, appeared incredibly slow in Ye Xiao's eyes. At first glance, the Chain Light and Shadow Sword seemed flawless, but upon closer inspection, Ye Xiao suddenly discovered a huge flaw. At the moment when the two men's paths crossed each other, there was a brief instance where they had to contain their power to avoid injuring one another, making it the weakest point. What's more, at that exact moment, their bodies nearly overlapped, and the flaw was right there at the Shenque Acupoint, above the navel!

Seeing this, Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile. He pulled an Apple 5s from his pocket with one hand. If there were a slow-motion camera at this time, one would clearly see Ye Xiao fling the several-thousand-dollar Apple 5s like a dart straight at the Shenque Acupoint of the closest Hei Laoda!

Whether it was the speed of his hand or his strength, Ye Xiao was quite commendable. The speed was so fast that Hei Laoda and Hei Laoer didn't even have time to react!

'Bang!'

The Apple 5s collided with the Shenque Acupoint of Hei Laoda. Previously full of confidence, Hei Laoda instantly felt weak all over. A salty taste in his throat, he spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same moment, the domineering Nine Yang True Qi contained within the Apple 5s, upon striking Hei Laoda, passed through his body and directly hit Hei Laoer's Shenque Acupoint as well.

After Hei Laoda spat out blood, Hei Laoer quickly followed suit!

Ye Xiao reacted very quickly. The instant Hei Laoda spat out blood, he dodged to avoid the filthy blood and simultaneously snatched back the Apple 5s. That phone was a gift from Song Jiaqian to him. If it hadn't been for the sudden event, Ye Xiao would have been reluctant to use his Apple 5s as a weapon!

Of course, Ye Xiao wasn't one to miss a trick. Retrieving his own belongings was no big deal, but taking others' as well, that was the real skill. As he passed by the two men, seeing their arms go limp, he conveniently grabbed their long swords!

Carrying weapons could come with trouble after all!

Ye Xiao backed away several meters, looking at the wall and couldn't help but chuckle bitterly. Those bloodstains had dyed quite a large area of the wall red!

Hei Laoda and Hei Laoer simply couldn't believe it. Their famous Chain Light and Shadow Sword had been broken by this young man before them. Not only that, but at this moment, both of them had sustained serious injuries. Centered around the Shenque Acupoint, Hei Laoda and Hei Laoer felt as if their internal organs were being cut by knives, enduring unbearable pain.

Turning to the two men in black lying on the ground, Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "It's all over now, and I will end your pain."

The two men in black clearly understood what Ye Xiao meant. Just then, they quickly took out a sachet of something unknown from their bodies and threw it violently at the ground. Instantly, there was a muffled thud, and a dense cloud of smoke appeared before Ye Xiao's eyes!

This was no ordinary smoke; even Ye Xiao could not see clearly through it. Startled, he rapidly retreated as a precaution.

However, there was no movement within the smoke.

Ye Xiao tucked the Apple 5s back into his pocket, grasping the two swords in one hand. He immediately focused his senses to explore the surroundings meticulously and discovered that the two men had actually escaped the villa!

Internally agitated, Ye Xiao was annoyed at letting them get away.

As the frustration dissipated, Ye Xiao quickly went over to where the two men in black had been and suddenly saw three cards on the ground. He picked them up and was greatly surprised by what he found.

Because on these three cards, there was a beautifully drawn plum blossom!

Could it be the Plum Blossom Group?

Ye Xiao didn't dare to think further. As a former Assassin, he knew full well what the Plum Blossom Group represented. On the Sina Continent, who would dare to openly oppose the Plum Blossom Group? Moreover, the most astonishing thing about the Plum Blossom Group was that if someone paid them in the Southern Border to kill a person in the far north within an hour, the Plum Blossom Group could still fulfill the task, creating the impression that the Plum Blossom Group was omnipresent!

The true scale of the Plum Blossom Group was unknown even to Ye Xiao, which was why he was so surprised upon seeing the card.

The Plum Blossom card, the Yama Lock!

That definitely was not a joke!
