Bang! Bang! Bang!

As soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, four or five large stones immediately followed, continuously smashing into the bottom of the water.

One almost hit him on the head.

The sudden attack almost made the usually unflappable Ye Qiu want to curse.

If this were an ordinary time and someone attacked him like this, he might not have cared, but right now, at this crucial time?

He had just taken a potion not long ago, in a critical moment of training!

If Ye Qiu hadn't just withdrawn from his focused state, he would surely have been hit by those stones.

By then, it wouldn't just be a matter of injury!

It would be a loss of control, which could potentially ruin Ye Qiu's life!

How could he not be angry in such a situation?

Disturbed in this manner, Ye Qiu no longer felt like continuing his training. He swiftly swam to the river's surface, then leapt to the shore.

He wanted to see who was disrupting him during such an important time.

Ye Qiu scanned his surroundings but saw no one.

The next instant, a chill ran down his spine. He had a bad premonition!

The attacker wasn't gone; they were hiding in the dark, ready for a second assault!

"Damn it!"

Thinking this, Ye Qiu didn't hesitate and immediately dodged to the side.

However, he was still a bit late.

Whoosh!

Just as Ye Qiu dodged, a dagger suddenly flew out from the small forest on the other side, shimmering with a cold light, heading straight for Ye Qiu!

Ye Qiu's eyes narrowed. His right arm swung out, and his right hand pinched the dagger with two fingers!

However, it wasn't over yet!

Though the dagger was for sneak attacks and was launched from a long distance away, it possessed tremendous force!

Even after Ye Qiu caught the dagger, his strength couldn't make the dagger stop!

The dagger, like a catfish, struggled desperately to escape from Ye Qiu's hand, growing closer and closer to Ye Qiu's throat, until finally, just as it barely brushed his neck, it halted.

The sharp tip still lightly pierced the skin, causing a thin trickle of blood.

"Careless!" Controlling the dagger, Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

Earlier, when almost being hit by stones under the water, he was furious, not thinking much, wanting to come ashore to see who was watching.

He hadn't considered how strong his enemy could be because, in his world lately, the only formidable enemy was Blood Cross's Heaven!

The remaining enemies were easily defeated, weren't they?

Even being seriously injured by Fell before was because Fell had control over Bai Lan.

This made Ye Qiu not realize the attacker could still be a threat to him.

But it's this momentary negligence that caught Ye Qiu off guard!

If not for his extensive battle experience and rapid reflexes, that sneaky dagger attack would have already taken his life!

Simultaneously, Ye Qiu's fury burned even hotter!

He really wanted to know who dared first disturb his training and then nearly end his life!

Such an enemy, he absolutely couldn't let go easily!

As Ye Qiu seethed with anger, a faint yet arrogant voice drifted over from the edge of the nearby small forest, "Heh, didn't expect you to have some skill, actually blocking one of my moves!"

Ouyang Xuan strode towards Ye Qiu, his eyes full of contempt, clearly not taking Ye Qiu seriously.

After a few steps, he suddenly leapt onto a rock, standing there with his hands behind his back, overlooking Ye Qiu like a lofty emperor.

Ye Qiu didn't recognize this young man, but that didn't mean he would restrain his anger.

After all, this person before him had twice nearly taken his life!

"Who are you?" Ye Qiu asked in a stern voice.

Ouyang Xuan slightly lifted his head, not even glancing at Ye Qiu, replying in a deep voice, "I am the most outstanding genius of the young generation of the Ouyang Family. My name is Ouyang Xuan, a man you'll never surpass."

"Quite the boast!" Ye Qiu's face grew even darker.

"Isn't the one boasting you?" Ouyang Xuan sneered disdainfully, mocking, "Have you forgotten what just happened? If I hadn't held back just now, you'd already be dead.

A mere defeated subordinate still dares to act wildly before me. Do you really not know what the meaning of death is?"

"What do you want?"

Ye Qiu coldly barked, having no more tolerance for Ouyang Xuan, though he felt it necessary to understand the other's motives. Otherwise, why would a stranger attack him for no reason?

"Nothing much, just retaliating because you provoked me and disrespected me," Ouyang Xuan said indifferently.

"Provoked you, disrespected you?"

Ye Qiu was speechless. He had been training underwater the whole time; how could he have provoked or disrespected him?

Ouyang Xuan continued, speaking lightly, "Perhaps you don't understand what's going on, but today I have time, and I'm in a good mood, so I can explain a bit.

In our Ouyang Family, whenever I train, there's a dedicated training arena. Within its range, no one other than the family elders can step in at will, or they'll face punishment by family law.

I also dislike being disturbed when training, so you understand, right? I was training hundreds of meters away, yet you were practicing underwater, which disturbed me.

Your disregard for my rules was naturally a provocation to me, a disrespect, and it's only right that I teach you a lesson."

"Is this Ouyang family's territory?" Ye Qiu asked, thinking this person was interesting. This area was supposedly a nature reserve, so how could it be Ouyang family's territory?

Since it's not Ouyang family's land, what did his training in the river have anything to do with him?

This person clearly was spoiled, thinking the whole world was his!

"Why not?" Ouyang Xuan sneered, unconcerned, "In this world, strength is everything. Our Ouyang Family has enough strength to own everything.

I am the most outstanding genius of the Ouyang Family, even the future successor, so naturally, wherever I am is my territory. Do you have anything else to say?"

Ouyang Xuan was getting impatient. Given his strength and status in his family, aside from a few esteemed elders, who dared to speak this way to him?

To him, Ye Qiu was simply courting death!

"Alright, I understand." Ye Qiu lightly nodded, sneering, "You're quite unreasonable. In that case, let me see if your strength matches your lack of reason!"

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, in the next instant, Ye Qiu moved, swift as the wind, his massive fist roaring towards Ouyang Xuan!
