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

As he finished speaking, Xu Yao flicked his knife upwards just before it touched the ground.

Then, with a flick of the wrist, a hissing sound was heard.

The elder's legs were immediately severed by Xu Yao's knife. The old man, who lost his support, staggered to the ground, his face pale and covered in cold sweat.

I can hardly believe what I'm seeing. Xu Yao has turned me into this state in the blink of an eye. It's a disgrace!

What's worse is that he really can't do anything about Xu Yao.

"Damn it, how come you're so strong?"

Xu Yao did not answer, but looked at the old man beside him.

The old man's face remained expressionless; he simply let out a sigh.

Completely clueless, the elder simply howled angrily at Xu Yao.

"I never expected that you could push me to this point. But don't think you can defeat us just like that. What are you anyway?"

After saying this, the elder took out a jade pendant from his pocket with his remaining hand and crushed it to pieces in front of Xu Yao.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yao could roughly guess what this guy wanted to do, so he asked the elder.

Are you asking for help?

"That's right. I once helped that young master of the Wang family and saved his life. The Wang family promised that they would help us if our Chen family were ever in danger."

The Wang family is no match for our Chen family. They're far stronger than us. Just you wait and see; once the Wang family arrives, you're finished!

"You can kill me right now, but when the Wang family comes, they'll probably tear you to pieces!"

Anyway, no matter what happens today, your fate is the same: death. It's just a matter of me watching you die or me going to the underworld early to wait for you.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao gave an indifferent snort.

"Do you think your life is worth anything? Let me tell you, you are nothing at all."

“I’m not in a hurry to kill you. Let’s wait for the Wang family to arrive. I’ll show you whether they can actually help you get revenge.”

At that moment, the old man also looked at Xu Yao.

He walked up to Xu Yao, and facing Xu Yao's puzzled expression, touched Xu Yao's forehead.

Instantly, a powerful stream of information entered Xu Yao's mind, containing two impressive feats: the Tiger-Taming Fist and the Wind-Walking Step.

Xu Yao looked at the two fighting techniques with great surprise, because he had already mastered them without a teacher due to the old man's influence.

The Tiger Subduing Technique relies primarily on one's own strength, enabling one to unleash more than three times the power of their own in an instant, causing immense damage.

The Windwalk technique, on the other hand, forcibly increases one's speed for a short period of time, allowing for high-speed movement for attack or escape.

"Although you have no cultivation right now, I think you should be able to use my spiritual power temporarily with these. I look forward to your performance."

Xu Yao nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with respect for Laozi. He never expected that an old man he had occasionally helped would actually be such a hidden master.

Not only did they come to my rescue in time, but they also gave me a chance to take revenge, and now they've even given me two combat skills for nothing.

Although he had no cultivation, he wouldn't have been able to use those two combat techniques if the old man left afterwards.

However, at this moment, it should be enough to deal with someone even more powerful.

Not long after, Jian arrived quickly from the other side. He seemed quite frivolous.

He was dressed in white, with a thin white sword hanging at his waist.

"Oh dear, judging from this, the Chen family has suffered a great disaster. Tsk tsk tsk, look, there are dead bodies everywhere, this is too tragic."

Upon seeing the elder who was still alive, he was deeply moved and immediately looked at the person.

"Wang Youde, you've finally arrived. Although I didn't want to ask for your help, there's no other way now. Please, you must help me kill this bastard."

"It's all because of this guy that we've become like this."

The elder who said this angrily pointed at Xu Yao.

The man who came, named Wang Youde, also stared at Xu Yao with great interest for a few moments before shaking his head at the elder.

"Elder, I don't think this will work."

"What did you say? You're no match for this guy either?"

"No, no, no, I mean you misunderstood me. What I meant was that this guy is somewhat capable, but I can still handle him."

But you know that if you want me to do something, you need to pay for it.

Upon hearing this, the elder gave Wang Youde a disgusted look, even though he had long known that Wang Youde was just that kind of person.

However, he was still quite displeased to hear him say such things, after all, he had saved the young master of Wang Youde's family back then, no matter what.

I came to help, but this guy actually had the nerve to ask for payment. Where did he get the nerve?

However, there was nothing that could be done now. As the old saying goes, "When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head." The elder took a breath and raised a finger at Wang Youde.

“Wang Youde, I’ll give you one million, one million gold coins, as long as you kill this guy!”

"If you can tear this guy to pieces right in front of me and make him suffer immense pain, I'm willing to give you another 500,000 gold coins."

Wang Youde remained unmoved upon hearing this, and simply smiled at the elder.

Upon seeing Wang Youde's appearance, the elder's heart skipped a beat.

"Wang Youde, what exactly do you mean? Why haven't you taken revenge yet? I've already told you."

"Don't be impulsive, Elder. Don't rush. I'm just thinking about how to handle this matter."

Normally, this compensation would be enough, but this is a special situation. As you can see, there isn't a single person in your Chen family who can fight.

We were on the verge of total annihilation. If I kill this man now, it will save the entire Chen family. Do you think the entire Chen family is only worth 1.5 million gold coins?

This amount of money is probably only a tenth of your family's secret stash.

Upon hearing this, the elder's heart skipped a beat again.

Good heavens, this Wang Youde is indeed trying to raise the price on the spot. He's trying to take advantage of the Chen family's current predicament and rip them off to death.

But there's nothing they can do; only Wang Youde can help them now.

There's nothing I can do but endure it.

It's much better than being killed by Xu Yao here.
