A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

"What! You want us to leave our storage bags behind?"

"Xu Xiao, don't go too far. Our cultivation levels are no lower than yours; if we join forces, we might be able to defeat you..."

"Don't push your luck..."

Upon hearing Ye Chen's conditions, Li Yi and Wang Chao's faces immediately darkened, and they glared at him and shouted loudly.

They addressed Ye Chen as "Senior Brother" out of respect, simply to avoid conflict; the outcome of a real fight would be uncertain...

They were never this submissive under normal circumstances, but seeing Ye Chen going so far, they stopped tolerating it.

"Really?"

Ye Chen was not afraid at all; instead, he sneered. So what if two Qi Refining Level 10 cultivators joined forces? His cultivation level had already far surpassed theirs, and he was confident that he could win with one hand. He immediately raised an eyebrow at the two of them.

"You're welcome to give it a try..."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi and Wang Chao's expressions turned extremely ugly.

They had assumed Ye Chen would be wary of the two of them working together and would relent to let them leave, thus ending the matter. Who knew he would be so arrogant...

Even clay figures have a temper, and besides, they're used to being arrogant, so naturally they wouldn't want to suffer this humiliation...

Besides, their entire fortune was in the storage bag; who would willingly give it up?

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the anger in each other's eyes, and immediately shouted coldly.

"Attack together!"

"Give him a lesson..."

"They don't know their own limitations!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Li Yi and Wang Chao gathered their spiritual energy and charged towards Ye Chen, who was not far ahead...

"Kun Di Fist!"

"Blazing Sun Palm..."

The two immediately unleashed their martial arts skills, intending to defeat Ye Chen in one move and teach him a lesson...

Two gusts of wind rushed towards me...

Seeing this, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, gathered his spiritual energy in his hands, and simultaneously raised his fists to meet the two's attacks...

"boom--"

"boom--"

Two booming sounds suddenly rang out!

The next second, two figures flew out like cannonballs...

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

Li Yi and Wang Chao both fell against the corner of the wall, clutching their injured arms and howling in pain...

"My hand..."

"it hurts!"

"It's...it's broken!"

The two were in so much pain that they were drenched in cold sweat and almost fainted...

"hiss!"

A collective gasp of astonishment suddenly erupted outside the courtyard gate...

The disciples who were watching the spectacle were all stunned, rubbing their eyes as if they hadn't woken up properly...

"This...how is this possible! Senior Brother Xu Xiao actually defeated Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Wang in a single move..."

"Li Yi and Wang Chao are both at the tenth level of Qi Refining. Even if they were no match for Xu Xiao, they wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat, would they?"

"Both of them used martial arts techniques just now, but Senior Brother Xu Xiao managed to defeat them using only his spiritual power and physical body..."

"Wow... such powerful strength! Senior Brother Xu Xiao is too fierce! He can easily win against two opponents."

"Am I dreaming? With Senior Brother Xu Xiao's strength, he could probably rank in the top 100 of the outer sect disciples..."

A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd...

Everyone expected a fierce three-way battle, but to everyone's surprise, it ended right at the start...

The instant kill took everyone by surprise...

In an instant, the way the disciples looked at Ye Chen changed, and they all became much more respectful...

In the cultivation world, the strong are respected; the stronger one is, the more respect one receives from everyone.

Even if Ye Chen were to snatch Li Yi and Wang Chao's storage bags right now, everyone would think he was doing the right thing...

Lu Luo, who was crafting wooden chairs nearby, was overjoyed to see this. Seeing his two arch-enemies being beaten, he couldn't stop grinning, and all his pent-up frustration vanished...

"Cool!"

"Well done, Senior Brother Xu..."

Lu Luo shouted with delight, wishing he could rush up and kick him a couple more times.

He thought to himself how lucky he was that he hadn't fought with Senior Brother Xu Xiao, otherwise he would be the one lying on the ground right now...

Amidst gasps of surprise, Ye Chen curled his lip in disdain and slowly walked towards the two groaning figures, making no attempt to hide his disdain.

"I thought you two were so great, is this all?"

"a shame..."

"you..."

Hearing Ye Chen's mockery, Li Yi and Wang Chao were furious. A surge of anger rushed to their heads, and they opened their mouths to say something, but upon meeting Ye Chen's icy gaze, they immediately cowered...

From their earlier exchange, they knew they were no match for Ye Chen; getting angry would only lead to more beatings...

Seeing the two of them in such a bad mood, Ye Chen murmured with regret.

"Why did you chicken out? Otherwise, you could have had a little more time to play with your hands..."

"What a pity..."

Li Yi: ? ? ?

Wang Chao: ? ? ?

The two men froze, and the way they looked at Ye Chen changed...

Are they using them as punching bags?

The two were seething with rage, but they remained outwardly calm, afraid of giving Ye Chen a reason to continue his attack.

"Hand over the storage bag to me, Your Majesty..."

Ye Chen looked down at the two of them and snorted coldly.

"Why should I!" Wang Chao blurted out, his face full of indignation.

"Hey, don't..."

Li Yi, standing beside him, wanted to stop it, but it was too late...

A gust of wind swept by...

"Bang!"

A fist the size of a sandbag slammed into Wang Chao's face...

His head lolled to the side, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with a few blackened teeth. Everything went black, his head was buzzing, and he was completely dazed...

"Gurgle!"

Seeing this, Li Yi's body trembled involuntarily. He hurriedly reached into his robes, took out a storage bag, and shakily handed it to Ye Chen...

"Here...for you..."

Seeing this, Ye Chen reached out and took the storage bag, looked at Li Yi on the ground, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, a promising young man..."

"You can go now!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yi felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. He hurriedly scrambled to his feet and staggered towards the courtyard gate, terrified that if he hesitated even a moment longer, Ye Chen would change his mind and he'd be finished...

Ye Chen looked at Wang Chao on the ground, twisted his wrist, and looked at him with a smile.

"Why should I, the Great King, be entitled to this?"

"Of course, it's by using your fists..."

"Not convinced? Go ahead and attack. This great king will just loosen up his muscles..."

Wang Chao: ? ? ?

Wang Chao, lying on the ground, shuddered in fright, instantly becoming much more alert. He looked up at Ye Chen's fist, which was about to swing, and nearly wet himself...

His face was swollen on one side, and he felt dizzy. If he were to get punched again, he would probably die here.

In comparison, storage bags are not that important...

"Here...here you go!"

"Please stop hitting me..."

He hurriedly reached into his robes, pulled out a storage bag, and handed it to Ye Chen, his heart pounding with fear...

Who would throw a punch at the slightest disagreement?

At least threaten him a few times and see if he gets scared...

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, reached out and snatched the storage bag, saying with a look of dissatisfaction.

"You're smart enough to know your place..."

"Get out!"

Without a second thought, Wang Chao scrambled to his feet and scrambled out of the yard...

Seeing this, the disciples standing outside the door took several steps back in fear, lest they accidentally enter the courtyard and lose everything they had...
