"Who are you and what do you want?"

The eighth elder was in a hurry, arranging a very important matter to avoid being beaten to it by others, but he was blocked by a man in black who appeared in front of him.

"What do you want to do? You'll know in a moment!"

The opponent didn't say anything, but just came up and attacked, flashing forward and launching an attack.

"It's not that easy to defeat me?"

He immediately used his superb body skills to dodge and avoid the opponent's attack, which also surprised the opponent.

"Interesting. The Ye family is indeed the leader in swordsmanship in Zhongzhou, and they have many experts. I am glad to see your teachings."

The man in black was surprised to see his attack miss. He also looked up at the other party and said, "Not bad, but it's not good enough."

He switched from the claw attack just now to a clenched fist before it missed and smashed towards the Eighth Elder head-on.

The palm wind arrived before the person, mixed with the sound of wind and thunder, the air made a tearing sound, and pressed all the way over.

"You are so brave. You really live up to your reputation."

After the previous test, the two of them really took it seriously and started fighting each other seriously.

"No matter who you are, I will find out your true identity. If you want to defeat me, let's see if you have the ability to do so."

The Eighth Elder was extremely anxious at the moment. He had more important things to do, but he encountered such a terrible thing. You can imagine how he felt.

When he raised his hand, he couldn't help but be a little impetuous, and the other party seized the opportunity, and his life was threatened several times?

"Damn, why is this guy so skilled?"

In a blink of an eye, the two had already fought for several rounds, but there was no clear winner.

"It's now, don't miss this opportunity, it will never come back again?"

The eighth elder seized a flaw in the opponent and rushed forward, ready to finish him off with one palm strike. Unfortunately, this was a flaw deliberately created by the opponent.

"You think I will just wait for your attack like this? I am just putting myself in danger. Just stay here obediently!"

The man in black dodged quickly and pressed several important acupuncture points on the Eighth Elder's body in an instant. The elder was completely unable to move, except for his mouth, which he could still speak.

"Let me go. You dare to do this in our Ye family's important place. Don't you want to live?"

Time is extremely precious to him, and he was racing against time. However, he was unable to move and almost burst into tears, and started swearing.

"Don't be impatient, be quiet, the acupuncture points will be untied in an hour."

After the man in black said this, he left him where he was, waiting for others to come, find him and rescue him.

"How can such a small matter stump me? I just gave you a push secretly, just wait and see!"

The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord turned around and left without taking it seriously. After a while he changed into the appearance of the Eighth Elder and walked towards the direction of Ye Xuan's residence.

"What happened? Did someone get there first?"

The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord transformed himself into the appearance of the Eighth Elder in order to put the blame on the other party and force them to board his pirate ship.

"Boy, stop struggling and surrender. We won't make things difficult for you."

As a result, when he was still some distance away from Ye Xuan's room, he heard the sound of fighting inside the room. He decided to hide in a dense bamboo grove and wait and see what would happen next.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I am the oriole. I will make both of you lose first, and then I will reap the benefits."

The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord seemed to have seen that scene happening at this time. He laughed secretly in his heart and used his superb body skills to hide himself.

"Who are you, what do you want to do?"

Someone entered the room where Ye Xuan was and was just about to go to sleep when he heard a noise and was awakened immediately.

With a whoosh, he flicked on the light and saw several men in black coming to his room, holding weapons and looking at him unfriendlyly, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.

"Who it is is not the point. The point is that you have offended someone you shouldn't have offended. If you come with us obediently, we can spare your life. Otherwise, your head will fall off, which is your fate?"

The few of them didn't waste any words and directly stated their purpose, leaving it to see how the man in front of them would respond.

Ye Xuan: "Interesting, I'm just a nobody, how could I offend a big shot? Could it be? Are you referring to him?"

Thinking back to everything that happened during the day, Ye Xuan had already guessed a general idea, but he did not expect the other party to act so quickly. It can be said that hatred cannot be maintained overnight.

The other party: "Boy, I won't waste my time talking to you. You only have two choices. Make a choice quickly? Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and the hidden master of the Demon Sect heard everything clearly.

"Beat me, beat me hard, the harder the better!"

The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord wanted to step forward and push the situation at this moment, but he had more important things to do, so he had to endure it for now.

Ten seconds later, Ye Xuan finally spoke and answered the other party directly, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"If you talk nicely, I will treat you as my guests and even sit down to have a cup of tea. But since you want to take my life and threaten me here, I won't send you off. Please go back!"

Ye Xuan simply ignored the other party, as if what happened just now had never happened.

"Can I say it again? This is the second time. There are only three times of everything?"

He opened the door and ignored them, letting them go out. Several people were directly shocked by his actions.

"What's going on? Is this kid crazy? Are we holding toys or did he not understand what we said?"

Several people were confused by him and looked at each other with bewildered expressions.

"Brother, don't look at me like that, and don't say anything more. I think this is just a delaying tactic. He might call for reinforcements. When they come, we can kill him and claim the reward."

"That's right. We have more people and he is just watching alone. How can he rebel? Let's just capture him first."

There was still a trace of hesitation, but after hearing what his men said, the leading man in black immediately took out his large golden ring knife and chopped at the opponent.

"I'm sorry, kid. I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Now give me your life!"

Ye Xuan was not panicked at all. He was skilled and brave. When the opponent used his ultimate move, the wind from the ground was created, messing up his hair. At the same time, two fingers gently pinched his hair when it was only a few tenths of centimeters above his head, and it stopped, making it difficult to move forward at all.

Then he spoke slowly, "The one who wants to take my life hasn't even been born yet. You are not good enough. Have you not eaten yet? Even if I stand there and let you chop me, it won't work."

Ye Xuan, with a nonchalant look on his face, said something that, in the eyes of the other party, was undoubtedly an insult to him, especially in front of his own men, so every word he said was meant to be taken seriously.

"Damn it, I really saw a ghost today, and it was a living ghost? Boy, killing is not enough, a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. I don't believe you are born with the power of Hercules."

The man wielding the broadsword felt embarrassed as he was being watched by his men, and his face turned red.

"Come again, I won't believe it's so weird?"

He changed from one-handed chopping to holding his sword with both hands, and tried to pull it out, but it was still pinched by the opponent's two fingers. His weapon remained motionless, as if it had taken root in the opponent's hand.

"I'll say it again, get out right now. I won't say something important three times!"

Each of them had a knife and two fingers, and the two sides were in a stalemate. When they heard Ye Xuan's words, they looked as if they had seen a ghost on their faces. As a result, they had no room for rebuttal as the facts were before them.

"Why, you broke into my room in the middle of the night and threatened me with a knife, do you still want me to treat you?"

Seeing that they had no reaction, Ye Xuan's face gradually turned cold, and the air became a little colder at this time.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

After a fierce fighting, it immediately became quiet.

"It's over so soon?"

Amidst the confusion, several dark shadows were thrown out like sandbags, and lay unable to move near the bamboo forest where the Thousand Faced Demon Lord was hiding, their lives or deaths unknown.

"Could this kid just die? I haven't started the show yet. No, I have to go and take a look."

The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord was not panicked at all in the face of the unexpected situation. Wouldn't it be better to use the opponent's force to counter the opponent's force? Unfortunately, he hit the wrong person.

"Come out, I've been observing you for a long time. Are you the mastermind behind all this?"

"Oh no, he's been discovered. How is that possible? If he hadn't shown up on his own initiative, even if someone was around him, they wouldn't have been able to detect his presence. How could the other person have done that?"

The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord is ranked among the four great demon envoys of the Heavenly Demon Sect. In addition to his extraordinary skills and the ability to change his appearance in a thousand ways, he is also an expert at hiding and escaping. There are few rivals for him in the world. He didn't expect to meet a master today.

"Hahaha, it's true that heroes emerge young. You were able to defeat my second brother's son today. Your reputation is well-deserved. I admire you!"

At this moment, he had already transformed into the appearance of the Eighth Elder. As long as he appeared in front of the other party, his goal would have been half achieved. What he had to do now was to solve the problem himself.

As long as the man in front of him turned into a corpse, it would be impossible for the Ye family's eldest elder to not cooperate with him, and his goal would finally be achieved.

"What's going on? Did I smell the scent of the demons? The other party looks like the Eighth Elder, what's going on? Are they trying to frame me?"

Ye Xuan remained calm at this time because he remembered what his cheap master had once said to him.

"Food, language, movements, etc. can all be imitated, but a person's smell and habits cannot be easily imitated. The other person must be someone else pretending to be him."

After making up his mind, he stopped talking and just stared at the other person to see what his next move would be.

"Oh no, have we really been discovered?"

The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast when facing the opponent. Even though he was a veteran of many battles, he felt a chill on his back and cold sweat broke out. He had only one thought in his mind: to run away quickly, the farther the better.

"Boy, don't think you can do whatever you want in the Ye family just because Third Brother is there to protect you. You should know that you are just a guest, staying here temporarily. You have to leave here at dawn tomorrow, so don't make it difficult for me."

Assuming the identity of the Eighth Elder, he directly threatened Ye Xuan. As a result, the other party took action directly without wasting time talking to him.

"The sword technique of Zhan Tian and Zhui, Jing Hong."

Ye Xuan quietly grasped the sword that appeared out of thin air with one hand and stood there, as if he had never made a move. A sword awareness had already enveloped the opponent.

"Oh no, this kid is not playing by the rules. Run away!"

The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord felt that he was being targeted by a prehistoric beast. If he escaped any later, he would fall into the abyss.

"I want to escape, but it's too late."

Ye Xuan didn't care how far the opponent ran. As long as he drew his sword, blood would be drawn, no matter where the opponent ran to.

"ah."

A sword flashed, and the sky of longing locked onto the opponent thousands of miles away. A man in black let out a tragic scream, and one of his arms was directly cut off.

"Boy, I will definitely avenge the broken arm today, just wait and see!"

The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord originally wanted to be the secret pusher, but he almost lost his life in the end. However, when he thought of the gift he left behind, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Hmph, wait and see..."

He quickly picked up his broken arm and ran for his life, disappearing into the darkness in an instant. His sword energy continued unabated as he chopped directly at a mountain in the distance.

“With a loud bang.”

In the dark night, thunder roared, huge rocks fell, and a section of the mountain was cut off.

"Boy, are you okay?"

The Third Elder led the Seventh Elder and a few others who rushed over upon hearing the news. The Third Elder had a look of concern on his face.

Ye Xuan said: "My fellow elders, there was a thief who came to steal something, and I have already sent him away."

"That's good. We can rest assured now. Go to bed quickly. We have important things to do tomorrow."

The Seventh Elder led the others to leave the scene, leaving only the Third Elder and him in his room.

"Tell me, there's no one else here, just you and me. What's going on?"

The third elder deliberately sent the others away, leaving only the two of them at the scene.

"Uncle San, since you've come straight to the point, I won't hide anything anymore."

Ye Xuan took out something right in front of him.

"What? Could it be them?"

When he saw what Ye Xuan was holding, his expression immediately changed and he signaled him to hide the thing quickly.
