Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

It might not have turned out this way, but unfortunately it's all too late.

What else can he do now?

At this moment, Xu Yao had already charged towards him. Seeing Xu Yao's actions, the man was extremely anxious and hurriedly drew his sword to meet Xu Yao's attack.

The clash of the longswords produced a loud explosion, and due to Xu Yao's terrifying strength, the man was forced to retreat repeatedly.

Before he could even regain his footing, Xu Yao suddenly kicked him, sending him flying. The man crashed into the wall and, unable to control himself, spat out a mouthful of blood.

Despite the excruciating pain throughout his body, he tried to steady himself, but Xu Yao had already rushed up, grabbed his neck, and then slammed the back of his head against the wall.

With a crash, the wall collapsed, and the man was covered in blood.

Hun Sen was in excruciating pain; he had no ability to do anything more to Xu Yao.

He could only manage to speak with difficulty.

"You bastard, you're going to die today."

Xu Yao chuckled upon hearing this.

"You're doomed? Then let me ask you, how exactly am I going to die? Is there someone above you who can come to your rescue?"

"We're just employees secretly helping out in this shop. Our boss is a very powerful character. If he were to take action himself, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to escape his grasp."

The man who was speaking to Xu Yao immediately roared out.

"Boss, you'd better show yourself quickly. We are no match for him. If you don't come out and take action yourself, I'll be killed by him too. Who will help you secretly then?"

At the sound of the man's voice, an elderly man leaning on a cane slowly appeared in the corridor.

Upon seeing the thin old man, Xu Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, judging from the spiritual energy he sensed.

This old man's strength is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. With such strength, he can be considered a strongman in this man's eyes?

Xu Yao smiled at the old man.

"You're all insatiable! How many of you have died for my sword, and now you still want more to come out and die? Do you really want my sword that badly?"

Upon hearing this, the old man shook his head.

"From a purely profit-driven perspective, the sword in your hand is not worth the lives of so many of my people."

"But there's no other way. If I kill you today and you give me your sword, it will at least make up for some of my losses. But if I don't kill you, my losses will be magnified infinitely."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao chuckled and slowly uttered four words.

"Profit comes first?"

The old man didn't answer anything; he simply slammed his cane hard against the ground.

"You will die here today, and you can't blame anyone but yourself for your incompetence."

After saying this, the old man raised his cane, which was more like a long sword shaped like a cane than a cane.

The old man was quite agile, and with a few quick steps, he attacked Xu Yao, suddenly thrusting his cane at him.

Xu Yao's movements were also quite swift; he raised his sword and easily parried the old man's attack.

Upon seeing this scene, the man who was leading the fight stared intently at the two men and shouted at Xu Yao.

"You bastard, you're going to die today! The boss is at the fifth level of Qi Refining! He can handle you no matter what, you bastard. I'll see how you manage to escape our grasp today!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao chuckled in annoyance.

"If you think you're strong just because you're at the fifth level of Qi Refining, then you're really pathetic. After all, I've even killed someone at the eighth level of Qi Refining, so I'm just at the fourth level of Qi Refining."

Upon hearing this, the leader gave a cold snort in annoyance.

"Keep bragging! I'll see just how capable you really are today. Anyone can brag, right? You think you can scare me like that? You're too green. We won't fall for your tricks!"

Xu Yao shook his head helplessly at what the leader said; no matter what he said, these people wouldn't believe him anyway.

They will only have to accept the facts when they are presented with them.

In that short time, the old man had already launched a series of attacks against Xu Yao, and had also used his combat skills.

The old man's cane, like a venomous snake, transformed into streaks of sword light, hurtling towards Xu Yao.

Having witnessed the old man's moves firsthand, Xu Yao sneered and unleashed his own combat technique against him.

"Do you believe me, you old fool, that I can take you down in one move?"

"Stop bragging. My strength is above yours. It's not that you can kill me in one move, but that I will kill you in one move. You are already doomed."

"Really? Then let's give it a try."

Xu Yao, who uttered these words with a smile, immediately activated his combat skill, Wind Loss.

In that instant, five arrows formed by gusts of wind appeared in front of the old man.

Before he could even react, the old man's venomous sword lights hurtled toward Xu Yao.

The five arrows, formed from swirling winds, hurtled towards the old man.

In an instant, the old man's slash was easily destroyed, and the five whirlwind arrows pierced into the old man's body with five crisp, piercing sounds.

Instantly, five bloody holes were ripped open in the old man's body, and blood flowed continuously down to the ground from these holes. The old man was no longer able to stand up.

He let out a muffled groan and collapsed to the ground, unable to control himself.

He was barely clinging to life, and upon seeing this scene, the leader's pupils suddenly contracted; he simply couldn't believe what had happened.

He couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"What happened? How could it have turned out like this! The boss's strength is obvious, yet his combat skills are not as good as this guy's?"

The boss is clearly at the fifth level of Qi Refining, while this guy is only at the fourth level. Why did this happen?

"Could it be that what this kid just said was true?"

Xu Yao chuckled, sounding annoyed.

"Then why do you think I would have any reason to lie to you? What's the point?"

After saying that, he glanced at the old man on the ground. At this moment, the old man's eyes were filled with despair. He could not believe that he had been so easily defeated in one move. It was a great disgrace.

But what can he do now? He has no ability to resist Xu Yao at all.
