Chapter 1120: Impenetrable Defense
"Absolutely impossible!" At this moment, a young man around twenty-five years old looked at Ye Xiao with a serious expression and said, "I'm afraid you're deliberately saying this to shirk responsibility. Forbidden Curse Martial Skill is one of the three major taboos of the Flame Dragon Team, and Brother Liuyue would never even touch it, let alone understand Forbidden Curse Martial Skills."
"Three major taboos?" Upon hearing the young man's words, Ye Xiao immediately asked with a strange expression, "What are the three major taboos?"
At this point, the young man who led the group earlier looked at Ye Xiao and said, "You don't know the three major taboos of the Flame Dragon Team?"
Ye Xiao bursted into laughter and said, "I truly don't know what the three major taboos of the Flame Dragon Team are."
"Hmm?" Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, the six people looked at each other, clearly puzzled, because Liuyue had told them that Ye Xiao violated the three major taboos, which was why the higher-ups ordered Liuyue to kill Ye Xiao. However, for some reason, when dealing with Ye Xiao, Liuyue never involved them, and even when Liuyue was injured by Ye Xiao last time, Liuyue only mentioned Ye Xiao's formidable strength and never mentioned anything about Forbidden Curse Martial Skills.
"You don't know the three major taboos? Fine, I'll tell you. The three major taboos are things that Flame Dragon Team members must never touch. The first is hoarding forbidden curses—death! The second is betraying the organization—death! The third is colluding with enemies and betraying the country—death! Hmph, do you have anything to say now, you traitorous scum?" One of them shouted loudly while looking at the leader, saying, "Zuo Fei, what's there to talk about with him? Clearly, Liuyue found the evidence against him and died at all costs because of it."
Zuo Fei was indeed the leader of this group. They and Liuyue were members of the W group within the Flame Dragon Team. Because of Liuyue's outstanding abilities and how well he treated his brothers, particularly his unwavering patriotism, they admired him greatly, and therefore, they rarely refused any help he asked of them. This time was no different. Originally, Bird City was always under Liuyue's care. A while back, Liuyue asked them to come over, saying that the leader of the W group wanted them to eliminate Ye Xiao because he had betrayed the team. For these matters, they came directly to Bird City without confirming with the leader.
Would a person who doesn't even know the three major taboos be capable of betraying the team? Which subgroup of the Flame Dragon Team does this Ye Xiao belong to? This was the question Zuo Fei pondered at this moment.
"Tan Luo, hold on a moment, Brother Zuo Fei has something to say!" At this time, among the six, the older person addressed the one who had just spoken.
And the leader, Zuo Fei, looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Which group in the Flame Dragon Team do you belong to?"
"Don't you know which group I belong to?" Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Not knowing where I'm from, yet you plan to take me out?"
"This..."
Zuo Fei pondered for a moment, then looked at the Chen family father and son standing beside him.
"Mr. Chen, you should head back first. We have some matters within the Flame Dragon Team to resolve," Zuo Fei said to Chen Zeming and Chen Cangyu.
The Chen family father and son did not move immediately but instead looked at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "You should go back first. He's right, this is an internal matter for the Flame Dragon Team, and outsiders shouldn't be involved."
At this moment, the Chen family father and son really didn't want to get involved, after all, this was truly an internal matter of the Flame Dragon Team.
"Yes!" The Chen family father and son then directly left with their bodyguards.
As for who would live or die here today, it had nothing to do with him. If Ye Xiao and these six people destroyed each other, that might be what the Chen family father and son wished for the most.
"Zuo Fei, what more is there to discuss with him?" Tan Luo, who received much help from Liuyue during his early days in the Flame Dragon Team, naturally hated Ye Xiao the most at this moment and didn't intend to ask anything, hoping to directly strike and kill Ye Xiao immediately.
Zuo Fei ignored Tan Luo and instead looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, is it true that you collaborated with the Sang Group to poison the citizens of Yan Country?"
"What?" Upon hearing Zuo Fei's words, Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Turns out I have such a grave crime too."
Seeing Ye Xiao chuckling, Zuo Fei immediately asked, "Is there not?"
"Evidence?" Ye Xiao said, "To be honest, when you came today, I truly didn't plan to let you leave, but now I genuinely want to know when and where I committed such an offense."
Originally, Ye Xiao couldn't care less about Tan Luo and Zuo Fei's accusations of betrayal, but coincidentally, Ye Xiao was a particularly patriotic person, and at the very least, he loved this land beneath him.
The duty of the Flame Dragon Team is to protect Yan Country, and if he truly collaborated with the Sang Group to poison the people, even Ye Xiao himself would be extremely upset.
"Do you still need evidence?" Tan Luo exclaimed in anger, "Brother Liuyue's words are the evidence."
"In that case, we have no choice but to fight," Ye Xiao said casually, with arms folded.
"Then let's see how strong you really are." As Tan Luo's words fell, he kicked the ground, his whole body shooting towards Ye Xiao like a swift leopard.
Ye Xiao watched Tan Luo charge over quickly, his face full of smiles. From Tan Luo's speed, he could completely judge Tan Luo's strength.
Contained in Tan Luo's fist was a True Qi imbued with thunderous elements, which he slammed towards Ye Xiao.
Boom!
A violent explosion sounded like a gas tank had burst.
At this moment, the concrete ground behind Ye Xiao was blasted with a fierce burst of energy, leaving numerous gaps as if they were formed by bullets.
And at this moment, Zuo Fei and the others also looked over, but immediately, they were shocked, truly shocked. At this moment, Ye Xiao and Tan Luo were completely facing each other, with Tan Luo's fist suspended in mid-air and Ye Xiao's hand stretched out, grasping Tan Luo's fist.
Tan Luo was stunned.
He was truly stunned because he himself knew that he had exerted almost ten levels of inner strength, yet after colliding head-to-head with Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao remained completely unmoved, as if his true qi could not harm him at all.
Moreover, even more importantly, Tan Luo realized that he too hadn't suffered any true qi damage, as if Ye Xiao hadn't used any offensive true qi at all.
Exactly, none at all!
In that instant, Ye Xiao hadn't used any true qi, or rather, if one must say he did, it was that the Nine Yang Divine Skill inherently possesses a passive defense, which Ye Xiao could not control.
"Your strength is quite impressive." Ye Xiao looked at Tan Luo, smiling slightly.
As Tan Luo looked at Ye Xiao smiling, a sense of powerlessness suddenly rose within him, a true sense of powerlessness.
Tan Luo is a competitive person, and also a proud one. In his eyes, there are only three people worthy of his admiration: the leader of the W team, Liuyue, and Zuo Fei.
Only these three.
Yet, Tan Luo had sparred with all three of them. He didn't know how strong the leader of the W team really was, but being the leader of one of the twenty-four teams in the Flame Dragon Team, it was enough to prove his strength. In front of the leader, Tan Luo was always defeated with one move.
Both Liuyue and Zuo Fei were quite formidable, but Tan Luo could still fight a few rounds in their hands.
But Ye Xiao?
In front of Ye Xiao, Tan Luo suddenly felt as if he was a baby compared to a giant, it wasn't just a matter of being one level apart.
Tan Luo slowly retrieved his fist and stepped back two or three steps.
"Tan Luo, are you okay?" Zuo Fei and the others immediately walked over.
At this moment, Tan Luo could be described as panic-stricken, shaking his head saying, "I'm... I'm fine."
"Let me learn your skills!" At this time, a young man about the same age as Tan Luo, seeing Tan Luo seemed to be at a disadvantage, immediately wanted to attack Ye Xiao.
However, at this moment, Tan Luo suddenly shouted, "Ai Shi, you can't beat him. None of us can beat him."
Tan Luo's words immediately stunned everyone present.
If Tan Luo said that this person named Ai Shi couldn't beat him, it would be understandable, but at this moment, Tan Luo was saying that none of them could beat Ye Xiao.
This made those who don't understand the details think that Tan Luo was scared out of his wits.
And Ye Xiao continued to stand there with a cheerful smile, the sense of calm and ease definitely wasn't just for show.
"Brother Fei, I have a feeling that he doesn't seem like what we knew before." A person slightly younger than Zuo Fei said.
Zuo Fei looked at this person and said, "Chu Dai, I have the same feeling as you."
"Let's clarify before acting. His strength is comparable to our leader." Chu Dai said.
Zuo Fei nodded, then looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, you didn't harm Tan Luo, which proves you don't want the Flame Dragon Team to engage in internal conflict. Therefore, I believe you also want to clear your name, so I am now contacting our leader, you contact your leader, and clarify the matter, how about it?"
"But Liuyue is dead." Ye Xiao said with a smile.
"I promise, before the matter is clarified, Liuyue's death won't be told to anyone, including my leader." Zuo Fei looked at Ye Xiao, speaking seriously.
"Zuo Fei!" At this moment, the other people looked at Zuo Fei with shock. They completely did not expect that Zuo Fei would give Ye Xiao such a guarantee.
"Alright, I have the final say in this matter." Zuo Fei said.
Upon hearing Zuo Fei's words, suddenly none of the people present spoke anymore. Zuo Fei was both their squad leader and their big brother, naturally, Zuo Fei's words were orders that must be obeyed.
