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

"Who are you?" Xu Yao asked warily.

"I'm the owner of this shop," the young man said casually, glancing at Xu Yao with a mocking look in his eyes.

"Oh, really?" Xu Yao said provocatively, knowing from the young man's expression that he was definitely up to no good.

A strange smile appeared on the young man's lips as he took out a green pill from his spatial ring and put it in his mouth.

This was a poison he had prepared long ago; once ingested, even a Saint-level expert would die instantly.

"Hehehe, guess what kind of pill this is?" the young man laughed.

Seeing the smile on the young man's face, Xu Yao's heart skipped a beat.

However, Xu Yao still pretended to be completely unconcerned and said, "I'm not going to tell you."

"Hehe, then try it. This is poison," the young man laughed.

"I advise you to give me the antidote; I don't want to waste my energy," Xu Yao said, shrugging.

"Hmph, you should save your energy and go to hell to repent," the young man said viciously, throwing a punch at Xu Yao at the same time.

Xu Yao dodged the young man's attack by turning to the side, and then suddenly leaped up and pounced on the young man.

"Bang!" Xu Yao crashed heavily into the young man, then kicked him away.

Xu Yao was stunned when he saw the young man spit out a mouthful of blood.

He hadn't expected his strength to be so great that he could kick such a tall and strong person away with a single kick.

The young man clutched his chest and stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth before staring coldly at Xu Yao.

"It seems I misjudged you; I never expected you to possess such formidable strength."

Xu Yao frowned. This young man was quite strong. If they really fought, he would definitely not be a match for him.

Moreover, he has concealed his true strength, so it seems that this young man is not only a thief but also a martial artist.

His strength is quite good; even an ordinary martial artist might not be a match for this young man.

Xu Yao felt somewhat helpless at this moment, never expecting to encounter such an enemy so soon after his transmigration.

Although Xu Yao is a magician, his magical strength is not great; he can only barely cast some low-level fireball spells.

Even so, it was still possible to burn a young person.

"I didn't expect you to be so strong, but that's about it. You'll never know what a genius is in this world," Xu Yao said coldly.

"So what? Now that you're all alone, you think you can fight me with just a piece of trash like you?" the young man said disdainfully.

After hearing the young man's words, Xu Yao did not speak, but quietly looked at the young man.

The young man felt a chill run down his spine from Xu Yao's gaze, but he quickly recovered.

He was actually scared by Xu Yao!

"Looks like my strength is nothing special after all!" the young man mocked.

But the young man's smile didn't last long; Xu Yao's eyes turned into golden vertical pupils.

"The Phantom God has descended!" Xu Yao exclaimed softly, and the young man immediately lost consciousness.

Xu Yao walked over to the young man and took the token hanging around his neck.

The token looked like it was made of some kind of animal hide, and a hint of doubt flashed through Xu Yao's mind as he looked at the patterns and designs on it.

He didn't know which noble or royal family it belonged to, but Xu Yao didn't want to cause trouble.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Xu Yao's eyes widened.

He discovered a dense layer of soul power fluctuations on the jade pendant, and this soul power gave Xu Yao a familiar feeling.

Xu Yao hurriedly poured his soul power into the jade pendant, and a roar echoed throughout the entire restaurant.

Feeling the immense power within the jade pendant, Xu Yao was shocked; the power within the pendant had exceeded his expectations.

The owner of this jade pendant was definitely a Saint-level being in his lifetime!

Moreover, judging from the aura emanating from the jade pendant, its owner is at least a fourth-order Saint Realm cultivator.

The fourth-tier Saint Realm was too far away for Xu Yao at the moment; he couldn't even imagine it.

However, Xu Yao did not forget his goal in coming to this world, so he did not need too many of these things.

Moreover, this jade pendant is enough for Xu Yao to use for a lifetime.

"This jade pendant is mine, you can't take it from me, otherwise..." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xu Yao's eyes.

The murderous intent caused the young man's expression to change drastically, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Hmph, a mere second-tier swordsman dares to fight me!" The young man sneered and charged towards Xu Yao.

The young man swung his fist at Xu Yao, this time without holding back.

Because he sensed that Xu Yao's strength was indeed no weaker than his own.

Xu Yao twisted his body, then raised his right leg and swept it sharply towards the young man.

The young man's expression changed. At this point, there was no way to avoid it, so he had no choice but to fight head-on.

"Crack!" The young man's arm was broken by Xu Yao's kick.

"Damn bastard!" the young man cried out in anguish.

Xu Yao grabbed the young man by the neck and lifted him up.

Then, with his other hand, he grabbed the young man by the neck and slammed him onto the table.

"What do you want to do? Do you want to murder me?" the young man struggled with difficulty.

"Murder you?" Xu Yao was slightly taken aback, then revealed a playful smile.

Xu Yao waved his hands, and the door was smashed open as a group of men in black rushed in.

These men in black were all at the peak of the Saint Realm.

"Young Master, are you alright?" The men in black rushed over to help the young man as soon as they entered.

"Quickly, kill him and leave no survivors," the young man said through gritted teeth.

"Yes, young master!" The men in black nodded and then surrounded Xu Yao.

Xu Yao was not afraid; instead, he stood calmly in place.

These men in black were all around the early stage of the third tier.

It wasn't even worth Xu Yao using his most powerful magic to deal with these people.

After all, Xu Yao believed that these spells could only be used at crucial moments, otherwise they would consume a large amount of magical elements.

Therefore, these men in black are not worthy of Xu Yao using magic.

Since these men in black were all at the early stage of the third tier, Xu Yao saw no need to be polite.

Xu Yao drew his long sword from his waist and charged towards the men in black.

Screams erupted as Xu Yao slaughtered all the men in black.

After searching the bodies of the men in black, Xu Yao found more than a dozen money pouches.

They then found some crystals in their storage rings, with a total value of several thousand gold coins.

In addition to the gold coins, there was also a parchment containing some secrets.

These secrets are about the Oran Empire, and they also involve a treasure.
