"Hmm?"
Fang Ao and Fang Qingzhu were both startled.
Fang Ao turned around to look, only to see Xiao Yi already walking down from the bed, looking at him with an indifferent face. Vaguely, Fang Ao felt as if he was facing a bloodthirsty tiger, the sharpness in his eyes causing him a pain as if being pricked by needles and sliced by knives.
"You trash actually woke up?"
Fang Ao was stunned, then immediately grabbed Fang Qingzhu's hair, his face bearing a brilliant smile, "A piece of trash dares defy me, you've woken up just in time. Open your eyes wide and see how I take pleasure with your woman right before your eyes!"
Xiao Yi patted the wrinkles on his clothes, his gaze calm as he looked at Fang Ao, "Make another move, and I'll kill you!"
Even though he had not a single shred of affection for Fang Qingzhu, the mere fact that she had taken care of him day and night for the past three days, not to mention her commitment to 'follow the man she married,' had made it absolutely forbidden for Xiao Yi to allow anyone to harm her!
Fang Ao was taken aback, sizing up Xiao Yi with a strange laugh, "You think you are Xiao Tianjiao? If it were Xiao Tianjiao saying this, I would immediately kneel down and crawl out of here. What are you worth? Be smart and just stand there and watch how I play with her. If you dare to spoil my fun again, I'll make you regret ever being born!"
Fang Qingzhu's eyes carried a sense of despair. If her cultivation was still intact, a mere Fang Ao wouldn't even be worthy of consideration.
But now...
Her cultivation had been wasted, and she was no match for Fang Ao.
As for Xiao Yi?
He was nothing more than an outcast of the Xiao Family, so what prowess could he have to protect her?
Fang Qingzhu's gaze toward Xiao Yi was filled with despairing indifference, "Don't worry about me, you're no match for him..."
"You cheap woman, you are still defending him until now? I'll do you right in front of him..."
Fury burned in Fang Ao, his eyes filled with greed and fervor as he reached for Fang Qingzhu's chest.
Xiao Yi shook his head lightly, his face turning cold, "Clueless about death!"
By the time he lifted his head again,
his calm face showed a hint of indifference, and with a sudden stomp of his feet, there was a muffled bang.
Xiao Yi, like an arrow released from its bow, shot out like a burst, carrying a violent gale of wind around him, with the sound of a sonic boom, he threw a punch at Fang Ao—it was the Mountain Thrust from "Eight Extremes Fist."
Powerful and forceful, with tremendous might and heavy force.
"You trash, get out of my way!"
Fang Ao didn't take Xiao Yi seriously at all and turned around to throw a punch.
His cultivation was also at the Fifth Layer of the Physical Body Realm, and a casual punch carried the impact of thousands of pounds, enough to shatter a tiger's skull with a single blow.
In Fang Ao's view, he was at the Fifth Layer of the Physical Body Realm, while Xiao Yi was just a piece of trash discarded by the Xiao Family.
There was no way he could block this punch.
Even Fang Qingzhu closed her eyes in despair.
Bang!
The fists of the two collided mid-air like close combat, creating two gusts of wind in opposite directions that filled the simple bedroom.
Rumble!
The old table splintered into pieces, broken wood chips flying everywhere.
Xiao Yi did not move an inch.
As for Fang Ao, his face turned shades of pale and green, retreating seven steps and stopping only when his back hit the wall.
Crack crack crack!
Fang Ao discharged the remaining force of the impact onto the wall behind him, and cracks spread across the wall like a spider's web.
Wow!
Fang Ao spat out a mouthful of blood, his legs went weak as he knelt on the ground, struggling to raise his head and look at Xiao Yi with disbelief, "How do you have such strong strength?"
Xiao Yi rubbed his fist lightly, glancing down and said indifferently, "Trash."
"You mongrel dare to call me trash, go to hell!" Fang Ao let out an enraged roar, his voice also turning cold,
"Mountain Splitting Fist!"
Fang Ao didn't wait for Xiao Yi to speak and snorted coldly, his feet thudding on the ground.
The punch came down like an axe splitting a mountain, heavy and powerful.
In the Heavenly Yuan Realm, martial techniques are divided into ten grades, each with three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The "Mountain Splitting Fist" was a first-grade beginner-level martial technique.
Fang Ao had been practicing this boxing technique since he was young, reaching the pinnacle of mastery with his fists blazing with powerful intent.
The terrifying fist wind howled towards him, with a force that could split mountains and shatter rocks effortlessly.
"Be careful!"
Fang Qingzhu's eyes split with anger as she cried out a warning, "The Mountain Splitting Fist has great momentum and heavy force, don't meet it head-on, quick, dodge!"
Fang Ao sneered, "It's already too late!"
Indeed, it was too late!
His punch came like a sudden storm, leaving no room to avoid it.
Facing such a fierce assault from Fang Ao, Xiao Yi remained expressionless, instead taking a deep breath that chilled his body.
His eyes sharpened like never before, and all of a sudden, Xiao Yi took a step forward.
"Seeking death!"
Seeing Xiao Yi rushing towards him, Fang Ao's face grew even more ferocious, his eyes blood-red, exuding a biting chill that seemed eager to devour.
However...
The Xiao Yi in front of him suddenly ducked, allowing Fang Ao's punch to whiz past his shoulder. Following closely, Xiao Yi spun around, his back facing Fang Ao, and with bent legs, he thrust himself forward powerfully, like a bowstring snapping back, and his back collided with a boom against Fang Ao's chest.
In an instant, Fang Ao's complexion turned deathly pale, feeling a sharp pain in his chest as if several ribs were broken.
Aow!
Immediately afterwards, a terrible scream rang out from Fang Ao's mouth.
Shot out like an arrow, he flew more than ten meters before sliding another seven or eight meters across the courtyard and hitting the wall, only coming to a stop then. Cracks spread all around the wall, as if a breeze might topple it.
Boom!
The whole courtyard shook violently.
Fang Ao leaned against the wall, his face ashen, blood spurting from his seven orifices, looking at Xiao Yi with horror, "You, you..."
He was too shocked to finish his sentence.
Fang Qingzhu's pretty face was filled with astonishment. Everything had happened in the blink of an eye, leaving her momentarily disoriented.
Xiao Yi walked up to Fang Ao, looking down at him from above, "The title of 'good-for-nothing' suits you perfectly!"
"Xiao, Xiao... wah..."
Hatred filled Fang Ao's eyes as he ground his teeth. Just as he started to speak, he spat out another mouthful of blood and gasped for breath before slowly regaining some composure. "You're done for..." he hissed through his teeth. "Just wait, when my brother comes back, he will take your life... and when that time comes, both you and that bitch Fang Qingzhu will die..."
"By then, you won't be able to see it!" Xiao Yi's pupils suddenly narrowed, a cold gleam flitted across his eyes as he raised his foot to stomp toward Fang Ao's head.
"Stop..."
Fang Qingzhu's voice suddenly came from inside the house.
Xiao Yi paused, frowning as he looked towards her.
Fang Qingzhu's face was unable to hide the shock in her heart as she panted heavily and said, "Fang Ao's younger brother Fang Jin is a master of the Tenth Layer of the Gather Qi Realm, and he is at the Royal Martial Arts Academy for assessment. Once he returns, it's very likely he will be a Shentong Realm expert. If you kill Fang Ao, Fang Jin will definitely not let you go..."
Xiao Yi's brow furrowed slightly.
Tenth Layer of the Gather Qi Realm?
He, the Divine General of Zhentian, who commanded the Eternal Mausoleum of the Ages, how could he fear anything?
Seeing Xiao Yi hesitate, Fang Ao mistook it for fear of Fang Jin and showed a triumphant look. Proudly he said, "So now you're afraid? Kek, it's too late... But, if you kneel in front of me now, beg for mercy, and personally bring Fang Qingzhu cleaned and delivered to my bed, I might consider asking my brother to spare you a dog's life!"
"I intended to kill you right now, but since you are so confident in Fang Jin, I shall spare your dog life and let you witness how he dies by my hand!"
Xiao Yi shook his head gently, and under Fang Ao's horrified gaze, he forcefully stomped down.
Puh!
The stomp landed squarely on Fang Ao's groin, a yellow fluid mixing with the blood flowing from beneath him.
Fang Ao's body stiffened utterly, his face turning a ghastly shade of green, veins on his forehead popping like angry dragons.
Aowu...
With a miserable howl, Fang Ao completely lost consciousness.
Xiao Yi, with an expressionless face, grabbed the collar of the unconscious man and threw him out of the courtyard...
