While out picking up trash, I was forcefully pushed around by a beautiful female CEO.

Meanwhile, on Qin Xiao's side...

"Blocking the road in the middle of the night, are you out of your mind?"

Qin Xiao angrily pushed open the car door, jumped out, and shouted at the middle-aged man in the middle of the road.

"Dad, Mom, wife, are you all alright?"

As Qin Xiao cursed, he glanced at Qin Xiangyang and his wife, as well as Zhang Qian, inside the car.

Just now, Yu Xiuqin was driving on the road when a person suddenly jumped out from the middle of the road and blocked the front of the car.

Faced with the sudden change, Yu Xiuqin instinctively stepped on the brake and swerved the steering wheel sharply to the side, resulting in the car crashing directly into the roadside trees.

This area is an old industrial zone. Because Minghai City is building a new industrial zone to the south, some of the old factories have gradually moved there. This old industrial zone is under planning, and it is difficult to see many people even during the day, let alone after 9 p.m.

"We're alright, Xiao'er, how's the car?"

Qin Xiangyang, who was in the passenger seat, was hit on the head by shards of broken glass, and his arms were cut with several bloody marks, but the wounds were just minor and nothing serious.

As for Yu Xiuqin and Zhang Qian, they were not seriously injured, but they were quite frightened.

"The hood is dented; I don't know if it can still be driven. It definitely needs to be repaired!"

Qin Xiao glanced at it. He wasn't concerned about the car itself, but rather that it was so late, and if the car was damaged, it would be difficult to get a taxi here. He would have to call his secretary to come and pick them up, and at this hour, waiting here would take a long time.

"Is that person alright?"

Qin Xiangyang asked again.

"He's perfectly fine, what a lunatic."

Qin Xiao lit a cigarette, couldn't help but curse again, and then looked back at Xu Shan standing in the middle of the road.

The moment Qin Xiao met Xu Shan's gaze, the hairs on his body suddenly stood on end, and an indescribable chill emanated from his back.

"Mom and Dad, Qianqian, stay in the car and don't get out."

Realizing something was wrong, Qin Xiao took a deep drag of his cigarette and spoke to Qin Xiangyang and the other two in the car.

"Xiao'er, what...what's wrong?"

Yu Xiuqin and Qin Xiangyang both realized that something was wrong.

Because they also saw that the middle-aged man who was stopping the car in the middle of the road was looking at them with a half-smile.

"They're coming for us!"

Qin Xiao said in a deep voice, his nerves were already taut. He sensed a killing intent from this person, and Qin Xiao was certain that the aura emanating from the other party was definitely the kind of aura possessed by a master of traditional martial arts.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiangyang and his wife's expressions changed immediately, while Zhang Qian was still in a daze.

"Mom, try starting the car. This guy is tough; I might not be a match for him. I'll hold him off for a bit. Don't worry about me, just go."

Qin Xiao spoke solemnly to Yu Xiuqin, as if giving his last words.

"son!"

Yu Xiuqin's face turned pale instantly, and her voice was filled with undisguised fear.

Qin Xiangyang's face turned extremely grim.

"Don't worry, Brother Feng will definitely avenge me."

Qin Xiao turned around, grinned, and glanced at the three people in the car before whispering, "Listen to me, let's go!"

After saying that, Qin Xiao ignored the three of them and walked up to Xu Shan: "Who are you? You dare to stop a vehicle from the Armed Police Bureau? Do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Hey, if I kill you all, who will know it was me? The Martial Arts Management Bureau won't be able to trace it back to me! I've had enough of you guys from the Martial Arts Management Bureau. If it weren't for you, people like us would be living a much more comfortable life. It's because of the Martial Arts Management Bureau that we're tied down, and all our traditional martial arts skills are stuck in the deep mountains, unable to do anything."

Xu Shan sneered, his gaze falling on Qin Xiao: "You're quite good, reaching the Inner Strength stage at such a young age. What a pity, daring to kill my senior brother, your life is destined to end! In my hands, Xu Shan, to hold the life of a martial arts bureau chief is enough!"

"Are you from the Xu family of Yaishan?"

Qin Xiao's face darkened upon hearing this, and he also guessed Xu Shan's purpose in coming, which was most likely because of Chen Zongwen's death.

"That's right, so what if you guessed it? Heh heh, I originally intended to kill only you, but since your whole family is crammed together, I have no choice but to kill them all!"

Xu Shan's face showed a mocking expression.

"Chen Zongwen took money to kill someone; he broke the rules and deserved to die!"

As Qin Xiao spoke, he glanced at the car behind him out of the corner of his eye, but Yu Xiuqin tried to start the car several times without any response, most likely because the engine had been damaged in the crash.

This made Qin Xiao anxious, and he could only try his best to delay the time.

"Stop talking nonsense, kid. You think I can't see through your stalling tactics?"

Xu Shan sneered: "Give up, none of you will escape today. Tsk tsk, your whole family is powerful and influential. I can't help but get itchy to take action."

Almost the instant Xu Shan finished speaking, a wave of energy erupted from Xu Shan's body, causing his outer robe to billow.

"Transformation into Qi?"

Seeing this, Qin Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted, and a sense of despair welled up within him. He knew that he was probably doomed today.

If the opponent is at the internal energy level, even in the later stages, I can rely on my years of life-and-death combat experience to fight them to a standstill.

However, the difference in strength between them is too great!

"Hey, scared now? Prepare to die!"

Xu Shan sneered, his body suddenly moved, his slightly lean frame instantly becoming like a tiger or leopard as he leaped towards Qin Xiao, then struck out with a palm towards Qin Xiao's face.

The air was filled with faint, crackling sounds.

Qin Xiao dared not be careless. He gathered all his inner strength in his arms, bent slightly, and crossed his arms to protect his face.

Crack!

With a loud bang, Qin Xiao felt as if his arm had been hit by a thick steel plate. A tingling and numb sensation came over him, and the huge force made Qin Xiao stagger back more than ten steps, crashing into the car door and making the car shake violently before he could barely stop himself.

"Kid, you're not bad, you managed to withstand one of my blows!"

Xu Shan glanced at Qin Xiao with some surprise.

Qin Xiao didn't speak, but gritted his teeth and stared intently at Xu Shan.

He entered the Inner Strength stage two years ago, but due to his injury, his progress became extremely slow. Even so, he was still far superior to ordinary Inner Strength stage practitioners.

Coupled with years of fighting in the military, Qin Xiao naturally possessed an indomitable will.

However, Qin Xiao did not show any joy at this.

He knew very well that he couldn't hold out for long. He tried his best to defend himself, but his opponent's palm strike, which wasn't even at full strength, had already made his arms numb and sore. If he were to receive another blow, his arms would probably break.

The disparity in strength is too great to be easily bridged by external means.
