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

"If you can't beat Xu Yao today, then you'll be in for a laugh. Good luck, I'm sincerely looking forward to your performance."

Blinded by greed, the middle-aged man had no idea why Zhao Long would say such a thing. In his eyes, he only thought that Zhao Long was angry because he had attacked first.

He was afraid that he would lose the longsword and the Foundation Establishment Pill, so he didn't think much about it and just answered Zhao Long.

"Just you wait and see, kid. Xu Yao is going to die today. His sword and Foundation Establishment Pill will be mine. And when that happens, you'll be my little brother. I'll take good care of you from now on, hahahahaha!"

Amidst the arrogant laughter, the middle-aged man impatiently swung his fist at Xu Yao.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man's actions, Xu Yao took a step back, dodging the man's attack, and then spoke to the middle-aged man.

"You're really in a hurry. Are you so sure you're my match?"

"Otherwise what? My strength speaks for itself, and I've already made myself clear enough, haven't I? Your current condition is simply not good."

I'm not afraid of what trouble you might cause. In short, you're going to die today, and you've willingly handed over your longsword and Foundation Establishment Pill to me.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao smiled and shook his head, having already grasped the situation himself.

If this middle-aged man and the man named Zhao Long are of one mind, then he might become quite troublesome, since he, a mere Qi Refining Stage 1 cultivator, has very little chance of winning against two Qi Refining Stage 4 cultivators.

Moreover, he had indeed expended a considerable amount of spiritual and physical energy dealing with those magical beasts, and now, the two men were clearly engaged in a silent battle.

They each had their own agenda. The middle-aged man recklessly wanted to kill Xu Yao first and seize the longsword and Foundation Establishment Pill.

Then, he would use the power of this low-grade Xuan-level longsword to deal with the man named Zhao Long.

Zhao Long wanted to use himself to wear down the middle-aged man's stamina, thereby weakening him.

After that, we'll teach this middle-aged man a lesson, and show him what it means to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

However, Xu Yao has been busy training himself during this time in order to enter the Qingyun Sect.

He wanted to become stronger, and with his current strength, he was quite confident that he could deal with this unknown middle-aged man.

After all, this middle-aged man had some similarities with those magical beasts. Although he could think, he was just as reckless as those giant bears.

Moreover, it's not fast; it relies solely on the violence of its own fists.

However, it was clearly impossible to defeat Xu Yao with violence alone. It was simply not feasible. Xu Yao swiftly dodged the middle-aged man's attacks.

Seeing that he repeatedly failed to register, the middle-aged man became impatient and said fiercely to Xu Yao.

"You brat, I never expected you to be able to maintain such excellent movements after such a battle. Don't you want to die? If you don't want to die, then obediently hand over your longsword and Foundation Establishment Pill!"

"Why should I give it to you? If you're so capable, then use the world to take it yourself."

"Good lad, I'm not going to believe you today. Do you think I'll just let you keep messing with me?"

You'll get hit by my punch sooner or later, and that will be your death day. I'll shatter every bone in your body!

After saying this, the middle-aged man used his spiritual power even more exaggeratedly, making his punches even more powerful and faster.

Even at that speed, he couldn't keep up with Xu Yao's reaction speed, and after a while, he still couldn't land a punch on Xu Yao.

This situation made the middle-aged man even angrier. Unable to break through Xu Yao's defenses, he stomped his foot in anger and pointed at Xu Yao's nose, cursing loudly.

"You good-for-nothing brat, you're just like a rat in a ditch, all you do is jump around. What good are you anyway?"

"If you're so capable, then face my attack head-on! Let's see what you're really made of. Come on!"

Xu Yao didn't take the middle-aged man's provocation to heart at all; instead, he smiled knowingly at it.

Since this guy is already blinded by anger, I might as well add fuel to the fire. This way, he will inevitably expose his weakness more quickly, and that will be the best opportunity for Xu Yao to attack.

Thinking this, Xu Yao immediately spoke up.

"If you're so capable, can you even hit me? If you can't hit me, aren't you just a useless piece of trash?"

"You piece of trash, you actually dared to try and steal my longsword and Foundation Establishment Pill? What right do you have? Go home and eat!"

"What did you say? How dare you talk to me like that? You're asking for it! I'll smash your head in today!"

With a frantic shout and curse, the middle-aged man suddenly exerted his strength again, launching a fierce attack on Xu Yao. The surrounding spiritual energy trembled, and the ground became shattered.

At that moment, Xu Yao narrowly missed the middle-aged man's fist, while a hint of resentment appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes.

He was so close to hitting Xu Yao, but the shot missed. He was furious. Just as he was thinking this, Xu Yao landed behind him.

Before the middle-aged man could react, Xu Yao punched him hard in the back of the knee, and a cracking sound of bones breaking rang out.

The man's leg was broken on the spot, and losing his balance, he screamed and staggered to the ground. Xu Yao was not about to let go of this perfect opportunity to attack, and he punched the man's other leg in the same way.

With another crack, the man let out an even more pitiful scream.

"My legs, my legs!"

Amid the man's painful screams, Xu Yao delivered another series of punches to the man's shoulders, and the sound of his head shattering rang out once more.

The man's screams became like those of a pig being slaughtered, and tears were streaming down his face.

"You beast!"

At that moment, a fist from the dormitory suddenly slammed down on the man's cheek.

In that instant, the middle-aged man's face turned deathly pale, his eyes became vacant, and his expression was filled with despair. He simply couldn't believe what he was seeing.

He was a dignified fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator, yet he was beaten like this by Xu Yao, a mere first-level Qi Refining cultivator.

Not only did I fail to obtain the longsword and the Foundation Establishment Pill, but was I also going to lose my life here? If that happened, wouldn't I become a laughingstock?
