Ye Xiao slowly stepped forward, looked at Max, and said, "Make your move!"

"You're quite calm!" Max looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Unleash your Forbidden Curse Martial Skill, I wouldn't want you to die with regrets!"

Arrogant!

Supremely arrogant!

However, his arrogance starkly contrasted with Huo Wensong's.

Max's arrogance had substance, while Huo Wensong's arrogance was backed by a strong support system. If a formidable opponent suddenly appeared, then an arrogant person like Huo Wensong would be doomed.

As Ye Xiao listened to Max's words, he silently smiled wryly. Having his trump card exposed was indeed uncomfortable, but since Max was taunting him to use the Forbidden Curse Martial Skill, Ye Xiao really didn't want to use it.

Because he understood that, at this moment, whether he used the Forbidden Curse Martial Skill or not, there was essentially no difference. Even though Ye Xiao didn't know Max's strength, Ye Xiao was certain that Max was definitely stronger than him, and by a large margin.

Ye Xiao sighed, looked at Max, and said, "To force me to use a Forbidden Curse Martial Skill, at least let me see your Forbidden Curse Martial Skill first!"

Max looked at Ye Xiao and laughed heartily, saying, "It seems you really are quite a character for a young Martial Artist. How about this, if you're willing to become my subordinate and serve me for life, I wouldn't mind taking you in."

"Stop the nonsense and make your move." Ye Xiao said to Max.

Upon hearing this, Max smiled slightly and said, "Then be careful."

As soon as Max finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared from his original position. Of course, to other Martial Artists, it seemed like he vanished, but to Ye Xiao, he could clearly see Max rapidly moving toward him.

Although Ye Xiao was injured, his cultivation was still there.

BANG!

Ye Xiao dared not hold back; when Max approached, a swift palm strike came, and Ye Xiao's Nine Yang Heavenly Thunder Fist responded without hesitation.

With a loud noise, the two of them were locked in a stalemate.

Max maintained a smile on his face, looking at Ye Xiao and said, "Actually, if you just nod, I can treat you as an honored guest."

"Your Yan Language is pretty good, but you don't look that nice!" Ye Xiao looked at Max and said calmly.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Max's expression immediately turned cold.

Evidently, to him, Ye Xiao was courting death.

Therefore, Max didn't hold back at all, letting out an angry roar. A swift wave of Inner Power True Qi surged toward Ye Xiao.

BOOM!

Ye Xiao, who was originally stalemating with Max, immediately felt the surging True Qi coming at him. He dared not be careless and quickly activated Nine Yang True Qi to resist.

However, Ye Xiao was already injured. Even if Max's strength was equal to Ye Xiao's peak, Ye Xiao would be at a great disadvantage.

Yet, just as the two were deadlocked, Max suddenly formed a fist with one hand and struck Ye Xiao's chest heavily.

Ye Xiao was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.

Max, who did not intend to hold back at all, immediately moved. Like a shadow following him closely, he delivered another fierce kick mid-air, sending Ye Xiao crashing toward the ground.

CLANG!

With a loud crash, a shallow pit was formed on the ground.

Ye Xiao lay on the ground, and blood instantly trickled from the corner of his mouth!

"Ye Xiao!"

"Boss!"

"Brother Xiao!"

Wang Luoxin, Zhou Hao, and Wangg Yin were all shocked and pale at the sight.

They were completely taken aback, never expecting Max's strength to be so formidable.

Max landed slowly, a cold smile on his face, and began to walk toward Ye Xiao.

At this moment, Ye Xiao truly felt helpless. Max's strength was indeed superior, and even if he wasn't injured, Ye Xiao didn't think he could defeat Max.

Ye Xiao had contemplated how he might die one day. He imagined a hundred scenarios, yet never thought it would be like this.

Now, lying on the ground, as Max approached step by step, Ye Xiao had no ability to resist except to wait.

"Let... let them go!" Ye Xiao looked at Max and suddenly said slowly.

Ye Xiao's voice wasn't quiet, everyone present could hear it.

Upon hearing this, Wang Luoxin and the others couldn't help but well up with tears.

Even in such a dangerous moment, Ye Xiao was thinking of them, which touched them deeply.

"Hehe, don't worry. Doesn't your Yan Country have a saying 'A gentleman's word is as good as his bond'?" Max smiled at Ye Xiao and said, "I consider myself a gentleman, so rest assured, you can die peacefully."

Max understood that this Ye Xiao in front of him wouldn't be of use to him, and since he couldn't be used, naturally, he would want Ye Xiao dead immediately.

At least, with Ye Xiao dead, he would have one less potential opponent and the Soul Sect would be less threatened.

Max walked up to Ye Xiao and, with a slight smile, suddenly, his palm filled with Qi elements, and he prepared to strike Ye Xiao's head with full power. Everyone present could see Max's strength.

If this strike went through, Ye Xiao would undoubtedly die.

Wang Luoxin and the others had already started moving towards Ye Xiao. It was clear they were ready for a fight to the death.

But just at that moment, suddenly, a black shadow flew over and, coincidentally, hit Max on the back of his hand.

The Qi that Max was ready to release was disrupted by the impact.

Max looked closely and saw a small ordinary stone on the ground. A small stone had disrupted his Qi?

Max immediately looked up, but just as he looked up, a graceful silhouette quickly flew over. Max didn't see what it was and reflexively stepped back.

Once Max steadied himself and looked at the shadow again, he found it was a woman, a woman in a white down jacket.

Max looked the woman up and down, furrowing his brows, and asked, "Who are you?"

"You foreigner, spending a few days in Yan Country and you're already talking so formally?" the woman sneered and said, "Go back to your country, or it will be troublesome if you die in a foreign land."

"Such bold words. Who exactly are you?" Max wasn't naive; he sensed from the woman's appearance that she was definitely not an ordinary person.

However, when the woman heard Max's question, she turned to look at Ye Xiao on the ground, smiled sweetly, and said, "I'm this kid's savior!"
