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

Xu Yao suddenly pulled out a dagger and threw it at an extremely fast speed, leaving the masked man in black with no chance to dodge.

The masked man in black blocked Xu Yao's dagger with his sword, and at the same time the dagger was knocked away.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Yao threw out the last silver needle in his hand. The masked man in black tried to dodge but found that he was in severe pain in his leg.

The masked man in black knelt on the ground.

"Haha, what do you think of my silver needle? Not bad, right?" Xu Yao said with a smile as he walked up to the masked man in black.

Just then, the masked man in black suddenly covered his face and roared in pain.

"What's going on?" Xu Yao looked at the masked man in black with a puzzled expression.

Then Xu Yao saw the masked man in black slowly move his right hand away from his face, revealing half of his face covered in blood.

Xu Yao's pupils contracted sharply. He could clearly see that the masked man in black had a face covered with dense red dots.

Moreover, as time went on, the number of red dots increased, making them look particularly terrifying.

"What have you done to me?!" the masked man in black roared in anguish.

Xu Yao shook his head: "I don't know anything about medicine, how would I know what's wrong with your face?"

"No..." the masked man in black pleaded.

Xu Yao shrugged: "You think you can just say no and that's it? Wouldn't I lose face?"

The masked man in black's gaze turned fierce. He clenched his fists, stood up, and glared at Xu Yao through gritted teeth.

"Since that's the case, then I'll kill you first to avenge my brother!" the masked man in black said viciously.

"Kill me? Do you deserve it?" Xu Yao sneered.

"I admit you're very powerful, but can you defeat my hundreds of brothers?" the masked man in black said menacingly.

"So what? Do you think I'm afraid of you just because you brought so many people?" Xu Yao said indifferently.

"Hmph, then I'll kill you!" the masked man in black sneered.

After speaking, the masked man in black rushed in front of Xu Yao, brandishing his longsword and preparing to pierce Xu Yao's heart.

"You think I'm really afraid of you?" Xu Yao said with a contemptuous laugh.

After saying that, Xu Yao's figure disappeared instantly.

"Huh? Where is he?" The masked man in black looked around in a daze, but did not find any trace of Xu Yao.

Just as the masked man in black was stunned, a long knife suddenly appeared at his neck.

"You lost!" Xu Yao said with a smile to the masked man in black.

"You actually launched a sneak attack! Despicable!" The masked man in black said angrily to Xu Yao.

"All's fair in war," Xu Yao said with a slight smile.

After saying that, Xu Yao turned around and walked towards the door.

The masked man in black lay on the ground, his mind filled with images of his brother and his dying will.

"Second brother, I promise you, I will definitely avenge you!" A tear slid down the cheek of the masked man in black.

Xu Yao arrived in the courtyard, his heart filled with deep remorse for killing so many innocent people.

"Sigh! Oh well, this has nothing to do with me anyway. I just hope these people won't hold a grudge against me!" Xu Yao sighed.

As night fell and the stars dotted the sky, screams echoed throughout the Xu residence.

All the guards in the Xu residence were lying on the ground, their fates unknown, and the Xu residence was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"I advise you to surrender obediently; you can't escape!" the masked man in black said coldly.

"You think you can catch me with your meager strength? That's wishful thinking!" Xu Yao said nonchalantly.

"Then let's give it a try!" the masked man in black sneered.

"I advise you not to mess with me, I have a bad temper!" Xu Yao said coldly.

"No matter what you say, you won't escape this fate today!" the masked man in black said with a sneer.

After speaking, the masked man in black leaped onto the roof and pounced on Xu Yao.

"Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire!" Xu Yao shouted coldly, directly unleashing his trump card.

The masked man in black paused his attack briefly, then resumed his assault on Xu Yao.

The fight between the two attracted the attention of other martial arts practitioners in the surrounding houses.

In an instant, dozens of martial arts practitioners gathered around Xu Yao, completely surrounding him.

"What are you doing? Get out of here right now!" Xu Yao coldly looked at the martial arts practitioners around him.

Many martial arts practitioners shivered when they saw Xu Yao's sharp gaze.

At this moment, Xu Yao's imposing presence deeply impressed everyone, even though many of these martial artists were third-tier or even fourth-tier warriors.

However, under Xu Yao's oppressive aura, they dared not move at all.

"Hmph, you guys are no match for me." The masked man in black looked at the group with disdain and sneered.

"Arrogant! Let's attack together!" a man next to the masked man in black said in a deep voice.

“Alright!” said another martial artist.

"Freeze!" Xu Yao murmured.

In an instant, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and the masked man in black froze in place.

"Explosive Slash!" The martial artist raised his longsword high and slashed down fiercely.

The masked man in black exploded, turning into pieces of flesh scattered all over the ground.

"It was resolved so quickly!" the martial artist exclaimed in shock.

Xu Yao withdrew his attack and said calmly, "You should all leave. It's not safe here."

"Thank you so much for saving us!" the men said, bowing respectfully to Xu Yao.

Xu Yao waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave, and then slowly returned to his room.

Back in his room, Xu Yao sat cross-legged on the bed, quietly adjusting his breathing to calm himself down.

He was already quite tired after such a fierce battle.

Moreover, Xu Yao's injuries are very serious, and he definitely won't recover in a short time.

Therefore, Xu Yao chose to temporarily go into seclusion to heal his injuries and strive to recover as soon as possible.

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

After three days of recuperation, his injuries had healed considerably, and Xu Yao walked out of the house.

"Young Master Xu, you've finally emerged from seclusion." Uncle Li greeted Xu Yao with a broad smile.

"Well, what's up?" Xu Yao asked.

"I just sent someone to buy all the medicinal herbs you sent. Would you like to take a look?" Uncle Li said with a smile.

"Let's take a look then," Xu Yao said.

"Young Master Xu, please follow me," Uncle Li said with a smile.

Xu Yao nodded and followed Uncle Li to the warehouse, where a large quantity of medicinal herbs were piled up.

"These are all the medicinal herbs you asked me to purchase," Uncle Li said to Xu Yao.

Xu Yao picked up a medicinal herb, examined it carefully, and then handed it to Uncle Li.

"This medicinal herb is called wisteria grass. It has hemostatic effects and can be used to make wound medicine. This kind of thing is very common."
