Ye Xiao had been keeping an eye on those two men. Now, as they leaped down from the building, Ye Xiao's spirits lifted; the real battle had begun at this moment. Ye Xiao threw the mountain-splitting knife he held in his hand towards the thugs who were still contemplating whether to attack him. The knife, with enormous force, spun through the air, and astonishingly headed straight for one man's neck. The speed of the knife was so great that it gave the man no chance to react, and in the blink of an eye, a head fell to the ground!

Blood poured out like a fountain!

The thugs, who had been hesitating, were now terrified and scattered like rats, clearly realizing that Ye Xiao's strength was far beyond their own. In their eyes, Ye Xiao had become an invincible god of killing!

At this moment, Ye Xiao was covered in blood, and it was impossible for onlookers to tell whose blood it was!

Ye Xiao stood still, his eyes fixated on the two martial artists descending from above!

The two men slowly landed. Instead of rushing towards Ye Xiao immediately, they smiled, clad in black clothes and black trousers, looking mysteriously imposing.

"Big brother, it seems this guy is still waiting to exchange moves with us!" one of the martial artists said to the other with a laugh.

"Hu Er, go kill him. I'm waiting to let Mr. Chen accept your apprenticeship," said the older martial artist, looking serious and not taking Ye Xiao seriously at all.

Indeed, martial artists, especially those who could reach the Yellow Rank Middle Stage, tended to be quite arrogant, especially when they encountered entry-level martial artists like Ye Xiao—they often looked down on them!

Of course, they had no idea what level Ye Xiao was at. If they had known, they probably wouldn't have underestimated him so much!

"Alright!" Hu Er laughed and then walked casually towards Ye Xiao. At this moment, Ye Xiao had already retracted all his Inner Power True Qi, making it impossible for outsiders to sense any Inner Power True Qi on him.

Hu Er, feeling no Inner Power True Qi from Ye Xiao, was initially slightly puzzled. However, he then thought that Ye Xiao must have overused his Inner Power True Qi while fighting those common thugs and perhaps now had exhausted his Inner Power True Qi.

Hu Er looked down upon Ye Xiao and said, "Boy, there is still a way out for you now!"

Ye Xiao didn't speak but just stared intently at Hu Er.

Seeing Ye Xiao's silent and fixed stare, Hu Er thought to himself, 'Has this guy gone dumb? Or is he too tired to talk from fighting?'

Hu Er continued, "As long as you kneel down and accept me as your master, always following my lead, I can plead for your life to be spared."

Hu Er thought he had offered Ye Xiao a great favor, but unexpectedly, Ye Xiao was unappreciative and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense. If we are going to fight, let's start now!"

"It seems you really want to die!" Hu Er was furious. He had offered to spare this youngster's life, but the youngster dared to be ungrateful!

As soon as Hu Er finished speaking, his body flickered and he charged directly at Ye Xiao. His movements were incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Ye Xiao, throwing a punch directly at Ye Xiao's heart!

Clearly, this man was used to fighting others; otherwise, he wouldn't have aimed a fierce attack at a vital spot right from the start!

Hu Er had not exerted his full strength. In his view, killing Ye Xiao did not require his full effort. However, to his great surprise, when he approached Ye Xiao and threw this ferocious punch, Ye Xiao simply moved his body, dodging smoothly and unhurriedly!

"What?" Hu Er was shocked!

Ye Xiao dodged the fierce punch and immediately stepped back, his eyes on Hu Er. At that moment, Hu Er, having missed his attack, charged at Ye Xiao again, his fists coming even faster!

When Ye Xiao had been closest to Hu Er earlier, he clearly sensed Hu Er's Inner Strength, which wasn't very deep. In Ye Xiao's estimation, Hu Er was barely at the latter end of the Yellow Rank Middle Stage!

Therefore, when Hu Er charged at Ye Xiao again, he no longer dodged.

Bang!

In an instant, Ye Xiao burst out with sixty percent of his Nine Yang True Qi. A faint flame appeared on his left hand, but in a flash, the flame became fiercely intense!

Ye Xiao's feet moved abruptly, his body shifted quickly like a sidestepping motion, rapidly closing in on Hu Er!

At that moment, the eldest brother, who had been standing nearby, saw Ye Xiao suddenly transform and shouted in shock, "Second brother, be careful!"

When the second brother, a martial artist, heard the eldest's voice, his body paused, and he too noticed that Ye Xiao's True Qi was extraordinary. However, by this time, it was already too late to retreat or dodge!

'Boom…'

Ye Xiao's Fire Demolishing Palm struck like lightning, arriving right in front of the second brother martial artist, and then forcefully slammed onto the latter's fist!

The characteristic of the Fire Demolishing Palm was that after it was executed, no matter who executed this hand skill, the one injured by the True Qi would inevitably be the one with weaker internal power!

Therefore, when Ye Xiao's Fire Demolishing Palm came into contact with the second brother martial artist's Iron Stone Fist, the martial artist immediately screamed out in agony. Right after that, his whole arm started cracking—a sound of breaking bones!

"Ah…"

Ye Xiao's peak Fire Demolishing Palm completely shattered the martial artist's arm, and the ferocious inner power flames directly devoured every meridian on his arm!

Not only that, but because of the outburst of Ye Xiao's Nine Yang True Qi inner power, it directly knocked the second brother martial artist flying. After flying more than ten meters, he heavily crashed onto the ground!

The eldest brother was immediately shocked and quickly moved to his brother's side. Seeing his brother's arm was now useless, he was greatly astonished; just moments ago in the upper floor, they had clearly seen that Ye Xiao's strength was only at the entry level of the Yellow Rank. However, why did such power suddenly burst forth?

Could it be that he was hiding his strength?

The eldest brother was immediately scared out of his wits, facing so many people yet this man dared to hide his strength!

"Big brother, avenge me!" yelled the second brother martial artist in pain.

"Brother, wait here. If I, Hu Qing, don't kill this man, I will take my own life as an apology!" Hu Qing looked at his brother's crippled arm, his rage stemming from his heart and evil rising to his gall, Hu Qing was set on flaying Ye Xiao alive!

Hu Qing gently set down his brother, Hu Er, then stood up with a chilling expression, and looked at Ye Xiao with anger in his eyes, shouting loudly, "Ye Xiao, I truly didn't expect you were still hiding your strength. My younger brother's skills are unrefined, today, I'm going to see your best moves!"

Ye Xiao gave a cold smile, looked at Hu Qing, and spoke in a not-so-loud voice, "Senior, you are being too modest. It was just a fluke for me, and I deeply apologize for injuring your younger brother!"

Although Ye Xiao's words were modest, every word was like a steel needle piercing into Hu Qing's heart—that was Ye Xiao mocking him!

Rage burned within Hu Qing, and in an instant, he revealed an intense wave of inner power True Qi. Seeing Hu Qing displaying all his Inner Power True Qi, Ye Xiao knew this was a call for a quick resolution!

Hu Qing suddenly kicked off the ground, his whole figure shooting towards Ye Xiao like an arrow released from a bowstring, his speed much greater than that of Hu Er previously!

Just after executing the Fire Demolishing Palm, although Ye Xiao had consumed quite a bit of True Qi, his vitality was not harmed. The damage from the Fire Demolishing Palm was fully inflicted on Hu Er, and Ye Xiao's Nine Yang True Qi was rushing through his meridians in an orderly fashion like high-speed traffic, continually restoring his inner strength!

As one decreased and the other increased, Ye Xiao's Inner Power True Qi had not depleted much at all—not even by one-tenth!

Seeing Hu Qing charging at him with incredible speed, and his inner power True Qi being at least at the Yellow Rank late stage, Ye Xiao dared not conceal his strength overly!

Actually, Ye Xiao was not concealing his strength just against Hu Qing and Hu Er, but because he was worried that a third martial artist might appear. If too much inner Qi was consumed, and a third martial artist did indeed appear, wouldn't it be troublesome if his inner strength couldn't recover in time? Although Ye Xiao's Nine Yang Divine Skill quickly restored inner strength, his Nine Yang Divine Skill was currently only at the second level.

Hu Qing reached Ye Xiao and his fist, like lightning, struck swiftly towards Ye Xiao, who also did not dare to be careless, repeatedly parrying the attacks brought by Hu Qing—once, twice, three times…

In the blink of an eye, Ye Xiao and Hu Qing had exchanged over a dozen rounds. However, during those rounds, Hu Qing's frown deepened possibly because of the summer heat, sweat already appearing on his forehead, while in contrast, Ye Xiao was not showing any sign of distress, seemingly not planning to use his killer moves!

Hu Qing's punches couldn't always inflict full inner power damage. Ye Xiao, being clever because the Nine Yang Divine Skill possessed a unique method of quickly restoring inner strength—by enduring light inner power hits. As long as these hits weren't very severe, a practitioner of the Nine Yang Divine Skill would recover very quickly.

Of course, if the inner power was higher than that of someone practicing the Nine Yang Divine Skill, this wouldn't have the same effect!

Having exchanged over a dozen rounds with Hu Qing, Ye Xiao had not launched a single real attack. Hu Qing's attacks varied in strength...
