Just as the fourth brother was about to reply, his throat moved slightly and he coughed up another mouthful of blood. He hurriedly took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket with trembling hands and drank it. Only then did his pale and ashen face finally ease somewhat.
Although the strange potions concocted by these Western alchemists tasted terrible, they were still quite effective.
After catching his breath, he was finally able to speak again, "I'm fine...you guys, be careful...this guy is acting strange..."
Seeing that the fourth brother could still move, the eldest brother, dressed in a long robe and mandarin jacket, finally felt relieved and turned his attention back to Ye Xiao.
After seeing Lao Si being kicked away, Xiao Wu immediately calmed down, her face turning ashen. She stopped insisting on going up alone to take revenge, after all, she still had some self-awareness.
Only the fourth and fifth sons are masters, while those of higher generations are all grandmasters.
Even so, as those people looked at Ye Xiao, an indescribable sense of danger rose in their hearts.
"Have you seen enough?"
Ye Xiao shrugged, "If you've seen enough, let's all come at once. Everyone's in a hurry."
"This guy is too arrogant!"
Xiao Wu gritted her teeth. Although she had a knife wound on her waist, she could still assist and support Lao Si.
Even for a powerful grandmaster, it would be far too arrogant to take on all four of them at once!
The eldest brother's face was ashen. He glanced at the third brother and exchanged a look. The two of them tacitly took their positions, and their auras began to rise slowly.
Ye Xiao glanced at the eldest and third brothers standing side by side at the front, then looked at the fourth and fifth brothers who were slowly surrounding him from the sides. He casually moved his wrists and then gripped the hilt of the sword behind him.
"on!"
At the same time, the leader let out an angry roar, his sleeves bulging from his bulging muscles, and with a leap, his fist, as big as a casserole dish, suddenly tore through the air and smashed towards Ye Xiao from the left.
The third brother gripped the stick with both hands, and the nimble tip of the stick transformed into a long snake, hidden in the powerful force of the punches, and then thrust out from the right in a tricky manner.
Ye Xiao dodged to the side, his left cheek barely missing the massive fist, while his right hand drew his sword and slashed fiercely at the thrusting staff.
The stick veered downwards, brushing against Ye Xiao's waist and poking into his coat, but missed.
The third brother immediately stomped his front foot on the ground, and with his waist and stance in unison, he turned a thrust into a sweep;
The punch that the leader dodged was just a test. Taking advantage of Ye Xiao being surrounded, the leader unleashed a powerful punch from his waist, aiming at Ye Xiao's lower body, who had no way to avoid it.
But then, a look of surprise flashed in the leader's eyes, because Ye Xiao actually used the force of the sword against the long staff to do a backflip, so that his heavy punch, which he thought would hit, only struck the air under Ye Xiao's tricorn hat.
Leaping into the air, Ye Xiao performed a sword flourish, wielding the sword in reverse with her left hand and slashing it at the eldest brother's arm. Her right leg, which had been turned around, spun around with her waist and struck the third brother's cheek.
Like a whirlwind rising from flat ground, it instantly sent the eldest and third brothers flying to opposite sides.
The eldest brother was strong and robust, and followed the path of physical cultivation. Even after being struck in the arm by a sword, he only managed to slide a few steps to the side with difficulty, leaving a deep bloodstain on his solid muscles.
The third brother was in a much worse state. A spinning kick hit him on the head, sending him rolling twice like a wheel before he managed to steady himself by sticking his stick into the ground.
However, when they both regained their composure and looked at Ye Xiao, who had landed lightly and caught his hat brim, their eyes revealed deep apprehension.
"call out"
Two throwing knives flashed out from the side in an instant, their cold light gleaming. It was the fourth brother who seized the opportunity when Ye Xiao landed and had not yet regained his strength to strike.
Xiao Wu, who was already prepared, summoned a whirlwind and thrust out his sword.
Before Ye Xiao could even stand firmly, he seemed to be hit on the head by a sudden flying knife, and his whole body leaned backward uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu was overjoyed. He wrapped the longsword in his hand with the Flowing Edge technique, making it even more fierce.
After being hit in the head by Fourth Brother's throwing knife, he would be crippled even if he didn't die. She would finish him off with a sword strike, and he would be done for today!
This was the tacit understanding they had developed over many years of cooperation. A mere grandmaster daring to provoke them was simply courting death.
However, the next second, in her field of vision, Ye Xiao's body, which had been leaning back, suddenly straightened up again, with two thin, flat throwing knives in his mouth.
He actually caught it with his mouth?! Is that even a human being capable of?!
In her shock, Xiao Wu rushed forward but it was too late to retreat. Seeing the intense killing intent suddenly surging from Ye Xiao's lazy eyes, she began to tremble even before she drew her sword.
"Xiao Wu!!!"
The third brother's scream came from beside her ear. Xiao Wu caught a glimpse of her third brother's figure, which darted out from behind her like lightning in an instant, and even rushed towards Ye Xiao before she did.
But this is not for the purpose of attacking, but for the purpose of obstruction at the cost of oneself.
Xiao Wu's mind was shaken by Ye Xiao's killing intent, but she didn't notice at all that the sword in his hand had already drawn a cold glint aimed at her neck.
Suddenly, a flash of cold light appeared, and an invisible sword aura slashed diagonally through Xiao Wu's vision, cutting through a tall building on the street behind her and splitting it in two.
Xiao Wu's eyes widened in shock, and she barely managed to stop her sword strike, but half of her face was already covered in splattered blood.
The long staff crashed down, and an arm flew out in a spiral. The third brother, clutching the severed wound on his right shoulder, rolled on the ground, letting out a heart-wrenching scream of pain.
"Damn!!"
The eldest brother, whose speed was slightly slower than the third brother's, was furious. His fist, brimming with rage, charged at Ye Xiao like a roaring bull.
But the fierce wind from that punch only plowed a deep trench in the floor, as if a giant beast had crushed it, and failed to even graz the ghostly figure of Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao, who had dodged aside, flicked his left hand, sending two jet-black throwing knives flying in an arc toward his boss's face.
The leader's muscles were solid after being infused with strength, but that didn't mean his face was tough. So he immediately crossed his fists to protect his cheeks and knocked away the flying knife.
Unexpectedly, the flying knife that bounced off the ground suddenly transformed into Ye Xiao, who was dressed in black. With a backhand slash, Ye Xiao thrust his sword upwards, piercing the cheek through the gap where the leader's fists were protecting his chest.
The eldest brother quickly tilted his head back, but the force of the sword still grazed his jaw and struck his left eye, easily drawing out the spurting blood and shattered eyeball.
Chapter 89 Utter Defeat
"Ughhhhhh!!!"
The leader covered his eyes with his left hand and roared in pain, but his mind, which had been through life-and-death battles for many years, was clear that he must not lose his composure because of the pain.
Therefore, he immediately gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain of losing his left eye, twisted his waist and punched Ye Xiao's body with his right hand.
But he didn't expect that this might be the punch he would regret the most in his life. Ye Xiao's figure suddenly disappeared, and when he was seen again, he had instantly moved to a meter away behind Xiao Wu.
Ye Xiao casually raised his leg and kicked the unsuspecting Xiao Wu in the back. The latter staggered and uncontrollably lunged at the boss's fist that was swinging with a whooshing sound.
"Do not!!!"
The eldest brother's expression changed drastically as he used all his strength to stop his powerful punch.
But some of it still couldn't be stopped and slammed hard into Xiao Wu's chest, whose face was filled with astonishment. The force of the punch penetrated through his back, and a piece of his sternum was crushed.
Showing no mercy, Ye Xiao simply sidestepped the girl who was blasted away, then spat out the throwing knife he was holding in his mouth.
The thin Xiao Wu left a trail of blood on the ground like a kite with a broken string, a sight that shocked even Mingya and Jinli, who were watching from the sidelines.
Looking back at the boss, he stood frozen in a pool of blood, clutching his bleeding left eye. His mouth was slightly open, and his right fist was still trembling slightly, as if he couldn't believe what had just happened.
Four against one, two rounds, three down, one blind.
Ye Xiao remained standing calmly in place, sheathing his sword, dusting off his coat, and looking expressionlessly at his boss's other intact eye, as if asking—"Want to fight again?"
Ye Xiao was met with a hysterical roar. The leader raised his fist and charged at Ye Xiao with a heart full of rage.
His power reached its peak at this moment, but he had lost his mind.
Reality is not a comic book; anger will not make you instantly powerful, but it often blinds you.
Therefore, when Ye Xiao saw this scene, he knew that the battle was over.
He clenched his left hand, adorned with a spell ring, towards the charging leader, and a yellowish-brown magic circle quietly appeared on the ground in front of him.
A sharp spike suddenly pierced out and landed squarely on the leader's outstretched thigh.
Although boxers can harden their bodies by channeling energy and use their limbs as weapons, much like shield warriors strengthen their bodies with energy, the parts they don't focus on channeling energy to remain as flexible as ordinary people.
The experienced Ye Xiao immediately noticed that his boss's strength was concentrated in his upper body, especially his fists, leaving his lower body completely undefended and vulnerable.
Ye Xiao didn't even need to prepare any powerful skills; a casually cast ground spike pierced through the opponent's legs.
The eldest brother crawled forward, and the powerful fist, thanks to Ye Xiao's precise distance calculation, only grazed the tip of his nose.
Even the aftershocks released from a distance only erupted diagonally upwards, shattering the upper floors of the residential buildings behind and incidentally blowing off Ye Xiao's hat.
Even this was within Ye Xiao's expectations. He had already pressed down on the top of his hat with his right hand, so only the front half of the brim was slightly lifted by the wind.
The eldest brother knelt down in front of Ye Xiao, his hands no longer able to muster any strength, supporting himself on the ground where sand and gravel were flying everywhere.
Finally, the last one in the group of four collapsed.
Ye Xiao always adheres to the principle of keeping a low profile when not making a move, but once he does, he will not hold back.
"Who sent you?"
Ye Xiao crossed his arms and looked down.
Even though he was lying face down, the eldest brother's physique was so strong that his bulging back reached Ye Xiao's waist.
In terms of injuries alone, the eldest brother should have the least serious ones; at least his speech shouldn't be affected.
However, the latter gripped the ground tightly with both hands, seemingly unwilling, and did not respond to Ye Xiao's question.
They were still on the street, so Ye Xiao naturally wasn't in the mood to wait for this guy to speak on his own. With a flick of his right hand, a small throwing knife appeared in his palm.
"Friend, be forgiving when you can."
Just then, a voice came from mid-air.
Ye Xiao looked up at the sound and saw a tall, thin man walking from the empty street.
The man's eyes were slightly narrowed, and his lips were curled up. His handsome face, with a hint of cunning, reminded people of those shrewd and calculating foxes.
The familiar face quickly reminded Ye Xiao that it was the man they had met on the boat earlier, the one who was looking for koi.
"What, do you want to dance too?"
Ye Xiao smiled. He had already taken down all five of them, so he wouldn't mind taking down one more.
"Oh, oh, if possible, I hope we can avoid using violence to solve problems."
The fox-man raised his hands.
"Is it possible that you've realized violence isn't working?"
"We hope you can understand that this was not our intention."
The man spoke softly, and without anyone knowing what kind of magic he used, he moved his feet and instantly appeared in front of Ye Xiao from more than ten meters away.
However, the other party did not attack when he suddenly approached. Instead, he put his hands together and said in a low voice with a sincere expression, "Friend, the matter here is actually very complicated. Right now, your people are injured and need treatment. My partners have also paid a price and asked me to take them back. Let's just treat this as a misunderstanding."
As soon as these words were spoken, groups of green-skinned guards clad in steel armor gradually emerged from the previously empty streets where the unrelated orcish crowd had been dispersed.
Trolls carrying spears and goblins wielding muskets also gathered around, as if the orc troops responsible for maintaining order had only just arrived.
But Mingya, who was standing to the side, knew that these orcs and the people who attacked them were actually in cahoots. Now that they saw that the people were in trouble, they were probably going to surround them to deal with them.
So he hurriedly took the koi fish and rushed to Ye Xiao's location.
When the man saw the koi, he gave a rather helpless look. He was indeed looking for this girl, but he knew that Ye Xiao would never let him take her away.
The koi carp, however, seemed not to recognize the man and merely eyed him warily.
Ye Xiao noticed these subtle expressions but didn't react. Instead, he continued to ask, "Are these orc armies also with you?"
"Not entirely. Don't worry, they brought this on themselves. You should leave before the army surrounds them."
The fox-like man handed Ye Xiao a small bamboo slip. "Friend, trust me, let me take these guys away first so you can escape this encirclement. As a token of my sincerity, I will contact you again later. You can tell me anything you want to know then."
Ye Xiao glanced at the increasing number of orc soldiers appearing at the street entrance, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.
The situation is getting out of hand. Since we've already beaten up everyone who deserved it, it might be best to leave now.
Chapter Ninety: Shen San's Considerations
nightfall.
Thunder City, City Lord's Mansion, in a lounge.
Shen San, who is also the fox-faced man I met, was looking at his eldest brother, the third brother, and the others lying silently on their beds. He sighed helplessly and shook his fan.
"Sigh, the damage is heavy, but I hope you understand that you shouldn't go looking for trouble. At full strength, none of you are a match for that person. If you still refuse to give up now, I won't be able to save you a second time."
After a moment of silence, the fourth brother, who was the least injured, finally couldn't help but speak.
"Shen San, why did you just stand there? The person we're looking for was there too, you could have..."
Shen San chuckled dismissively, interrupting the other person.
