Unbeknownst to the onlookers, the white-haired old man suddenly produced a dagger and thrust it directly toward Xu Yang's heart.
If the strike had landed, Xu Yang would have had no chance of survival.
Fortunately, Xu Yang was already a master of combat, with a keen sense of danger that was unparalleled among ordinary people.
Just as the dagger was about to pierce his chest, he dodged nimbly and grabbed the old man's wrist in one swift movement.
The old man tried to break free but couldn't, so he clenched his fist and aimed a punch at Xu Yang's temple.
"Hmph!" Xu Yang snorted coldly and lashed out with a kick that reached its target before the punch, hitting the old man in the abdomen and sending him flying backwards.
The entire sequence of events might sound lengthy, but it happened in the blink of an eye.
This sudden turn of events completely dumbfounded all the onlookers.
What's going on?
