Martial Arts Master in the City

"Do you feel that your True Qi is somewhat obstructed?" Feng Hai looked at Ye Xiao sitting there expressionless and immediately knew that Ye Xiao was trying to mobilize his Inner Power True Qi. He burst into laughter and said.

"Feng Hai, who ordered you to poison him?" It was Liuyue who spoke.

Feng Hai sneered coldly and looked at Liuyue, saying, "Mr. Liuyue, I'm actually helping you."

Liuyue snorted, saying, "You're insulting me, aren't you?"

Feng Hai looked at Liuyue, knowing well Liuyue's formidable strength. Moreover, although he had brought a group of people today, they were not comparable to Liuyue.

"Mr. Liuyue, you misunderstood. I poisoned Ye Xiao because I have a grudge against him. However, seeing as Mr. Liuyue wants to get him killed, I only added a small dose of Qi Scattering Dew into each dish. It won't render Ye Xiao's True Qi useless, just affect its flow." Feng Hai said with a smile as he glanced at Liuyue.

Liuyue became even more furious, saying, "Are you telling me that I can only defeat him when his strength is compromised?"

"Mr. Liuyue!" Chen Cangyu saw Liuyue's agitation and quickly addressed him.

Liuyue glanced at Chen Cangyu and said no more.

While Liuyue gave no face to Feng Hai, he showed some respect to Chen Cangyu.

Chen Cangyu then looked at Feng Hai, saying, "Brother Feng, today, both Mr. Liuyue and I won't interfere. To be honest, I don't wish to fight someone who's been drugged either."

Though Chen Cangyu had some disputes with Ye Xiao, he would never stoop to using underhanded means like poisoning, as his pride made him value reputation above all.

Feng Hai cast a glance at Chen Cangyu. He poisoned Ye Xiao precisely because he didn't want him to escape today. However, he didn't expect to be looked down upon by Chen Cangyu and Liuyue.

Meanwhile!

Ye Xiao sat in the chair, appearing calm, but inside, he was in turmoil.

What a blunder!

Feng Hai's prepared silver chopsticks and bowls seemed to assure Ye Xiao that there was no poison. But poison made for Martial Artists wouldn't harm ordinary people, making the silver tools useless for detection.

However, following Feng Hai's words, the dose of Qi Scattering Dew he consumed was small, thus only causing obstruction in True Qi. Yet, Ye Xiao dared not force his True Qi.

Last time, when confronting Fu Tianjue, Fu Tianjue forcefully channeled his True Qi and ended up losing his life horribly.

Now, he found himself in a similar predicament.

Could this be what's called karma?

However, Ye Xiao's prideful nature wouldn't allow him to beg for help, even in this situation, and he simply laughed at himself.

Feng Hai, having been looked down upon by Chen Cangyu and Liuyue, was stunned to hear Ye Xiao laughing. Normally, anyone realizing they had been poisoned with Qi Scattering Dew would be shocked and at a loss, but Ye Xiao showed none of this and even laughed.

"I didn't expect you could still laugh," Feng Hai said, coldly staring at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao responded, "Once it's done, it's done. Since I've eaten it, there's no sense in begging now, is there?"

"No!" Feng Hai replied earnestly.

Ye Xiao chuckled, "So that's it then, isn't it? Since there's no way out, why should I be distressed? I never expected you to value me enough to use the six-level Qi Scattering Dew, which is really expensive."

Feng Hai gazed at Ye Xiao, especially at the smile on his face, feeling even more unsettled. Ye Xiao's calm only heightened Feng Hai's anger.

"Kill him!" Feng Hai's eyes turned cold as he gritted his teeth.

With the words, the nine henchmen who had been with Feng Hai stepped forward towards Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao knew he was facing the biggest crisis of his life.

Previously, he had navigated through water and fire effortlessly using the Nine Yang Divine Skill, but this time was different. He couldn't activate the Nine Yang True Qi, knowing that if he did, he'd end worse than Fu Tianjue.

At this moment, Feng Hai, Chen Cangyu, and Liuyue all watched Ye Xiao. This once agile and extraordinary Ye Xiao sat motionless in the chair — no, he moved to yawn, patting his mouth as if sleepy.

The nine Martial Artists Feng Hai had brought encircled Ye Xiao tightly.

Boom!

A winter thunder rumbled across the sky, seemingly heralding something.

"Haha, it looks like even heaven is predicting someone's death here today," Ye Xiao said, still smiling.

"That's right, someone will die today," Feng Hai shouted at Ye Xiao upon hearing his words.

Ye Xiao smiled, "Confidence is good, but blind confidence is extremely foolish. Besides, who Heaven claims depends on Heaven's mood."

"What's the matter?" Feng Hai looked at Ye Xiao, laughed heartily, and said, "Are you begging for mercy now? If you're willing to kneel and call me grandfather, maybe I'll spare your wretched life."

Ye Xiao wasn't angered by Feng Hai's words; instead, he smiled faintly and said, "You're quite confident. I can guarantee that today you'll call me grandfather."

Feng Hai was further infuriated by Ye Xiao's provocation.

By this time, those nine people had already surrounded Ye Xiao, clearly ready to strike at any moment.

However, at that moment, suddenly, Ye Xiao's complexion changed from pale to a flushed red. Then, a heart-wrenching scream escaped from his mouth, and at the same time, his whole body soared two or three meters into the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

This sudden turn of events left everyone stunned, truly astonished. What on earth had happened to Ye Xiao?

Lying on the ground, Ye Xiao did not stop, but instead rolled on the ground in excruciating pain, his hands clawing at the ground. The ground was originally cement, yet Ye Xiao managed to claw out one small pit after another.

His fingers bled as a result.

Nobody had anticipated such a bizarre occurrence happening so suddenly.

"This..." Chen Cangyu looked at Ye Xiao writhing on the ground and couldn't help but glance at Feng Hai.

At that moment, Feng Hai was also dumbfounded. Could it be that the Qi Scattering Dew had such an effect? It seemed like Ye Xiao was suffering as if he had consumed some gut-wrenching poison.

But Feng Hai knew he hadn't done such a thing, so what on earth was happening?

The nine people who initially intended to kill Ye Xiao also looked at Feng Hai, clearly waiting for his command.

Feng Hai did not speak, but stared at Ye Xiao in amazement, seemingly wanting to know what exactly was occurring.

At this moment, Ye Xiao was truly in exceptional pain. It was not just gut-wrenching agony, but a torment akin to pulling out the tendons and removing the bones.

Ye Xiao felt as if every bone in his body was being extracted, every tendon being pulled out.

"Ah!" Bursts of extreme agony-filled sounds emanated from Ye Xiao's mouth.

The sudden reaction left everyone in the warehouse stunned, until the door was suddenly pushed open.

The door to the warehouse was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind howled in.

Feng Hai immediately turned his head towards the door, only to see a man drenched and blood-stained running in, panic on his face.

"Young Master Feng, something's happened."

Feng Hai frowned and reprimanded upon hearing the man's words, "Why the panic? What's happened?"

The man immediately said, "A suspicious group of individuals have burst in, each immensely powerful, our brothers couldn't withstand..."

Bang!

A shadow flickered past, and instantly, a dagger plunged directly into the man's back, causing him to collapse straight down.

At this moment, everyone saw clearly the identity of the shadow.

Dressed entirely in black, his face sharp and resolute, giving a sense of determination. At this time, his hand held a dagger, and his gaze fell directly on the writhing Ye Xiao on the ground.

The originally resolute face of the man in black suddenly turned panicked.

"Boss!"

Seeing Ye Xiao fallen on the ground, the man in black cried out in pain, immediately exclaimed loudly, and rushed towards Ye Xiao.

This person was none other than Zhou Hao!

Feng Hai had stationed quite a few men outside, more than twenty Yellow Rank martial artists, yet Zhou Hao had already reached Xuan Rank, making it impossible for any Yellow Rank martial artist to hinder his stride.

But what Zhou Hao hadn't expected was that upon entering, the first thing he saw was his boss, Ye Xiao, rolling and crying out in agony on the ground.

As the warehouse door opened, Ye Xiao's cries immediately echoed out, even amid the storm raging outside, incapable of drowning out Ye Xiao's heart-rending screams, while at the same time, a black business car drove into the Lotus Driving School.

"What's this?" Wang Luoxin, originally with the other members of the Seven-colored Lamp, was intent on observing Blood Blade's strength from the car, preparing to intervene if someone with real power appeared.

But now, they heard this sound.

Ye Ziyan also heard the sound, was slightly stunned, then looked at Wang Luoxin, and surprisingly said, "Big Sister, this...this seems like my brother's voice."

At this moment, Wang Luoxin did not continue to stay, but immediately instructed the driver, "Drive the car directly into that warehouse."

The black business car ignored everyone in front, directly driving forward.
