The burly man hesitated for a moment, and Huang Ye lifted his foot as if to kick.
"I'll talk, I'll talk, I'm from the Qu family, the family head sent me."
The burly man was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He dared not let Huang Ye kick him, knowing that a single kick would cripple him.
It seems he was sent by the Second Madam's uncle.
"What is the highest level of strength in the Qu family?"
"I'm not sure about that. They claim to be at the peak of Martial King, but the four major families have deep foundations, so there might be a Martial Emperor."
"Have you heard of 'a hero cutting off his own arm'?"
"Spare me, Master Huang, spare me."
"Hehe, I've already spared your life, just asking you to cut off your arm. If you don't want to do it yourself, I can help you."
"Ah! No need, I'll do it myself."
With that, he mustered all his strength and swung a punch. With a "crack," his left forearm was broken.
"Ow!" he screamed, nearly fainting from the pain.
The sound was so much like a pig being slaughtered that even Huang Ye felt a twinge of sympathy.
"Buddy, you seem to have misunderstood. I said 'a hero cutting off his own arm,' why did you break your forearm?"
"Master Huang, I was wrong, I'll cut off my arm now!"
The sound of a pig being slaughtered rang out again.
"Alright, you can go now. You're just a weakling, exhausted after only two hundred punches. With skills like yours, why even bother learning martial arts?"
Huang Ye threw this remark back at the burly man.
"Thank you, thank you, Master Huang, for sparing my life." The burly man, clutching his broken arm, disappeared in a flash.
Huang Ye stretched his limbs. This guy was somewhat useful; today's practice was quite satisfying.
Letting this kid go, he thought, might make him stronger next time.
"Alright, you've seen enough. Come out now."
The surroundings were silent, and Huang Ye looked at a large tree not far away.
Huh! That's odd, where did the person go?
This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Earlier, while his back was turned, someone had moved to that large tree.
He thought the person was going to launch a sneak attack, so he had been on guard, ready to counterattack.
But the person never made a move, just watched from there.
Leaping onto the tree, he looked around and found no one.
Damn, this person has some skills, disappearing right under my nose without a sound.
Who could have such abilities? If they were to assassinate me, it would indeed be a threat.
I've really underestimated the martial artists here; it's better to be cautious and not get too arrogant.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to abandon the search. The opponent's strength and methods were unknown, and searching recklessly could lead to an ambush.
He decided to wait for a chance. If the person appeared again, he would be ready to act.
No, I need to quickly master the fourth level of my techniques. The fourth level has a divine sense detection function, which can better detect danger.
Currently, I rely on my five senses to judge, with my eyesight being the only sense stronger than ordinary people.
Divine sense is like a sixth sense, capable of detecting invisible enemies and preventing danger.
He dressed himself, sat down on the ground, and began to purify the wood elements in his body, gradually entering a state of selflessness.
Half an hour later, behind a tree dozens of meters away from the battlefield, a head slowly peeked out, watching the distant, blurry figure.
After watching silently for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the figure slowly retreated, not daring to make a sound.
Only after retreating about two hundred meters did the figure turn and slip over the wall.
Outside the wall, seeing that Huang Ye hadn't followed, the figure finally relaxed.
Still shaken, he wondered, what is this kid's real strength? How did he even notice me?
Damn it, if it weren't for that Immortal Concealment Talisman, I would have been caught by him.
This kid's strength should be in the mid to late Martial King stage. If we really fought, it's hard to say who would win.
It's a pity that I had to use the Immortal Talisman again, such a waste.
That useless guy couldn't even test this kid's strength, why did the Qu family send such trash?
This kid was a fool for seven years, how did he become so powerful in just three months?
Did something miraculous happen during the month he disappeared?
It's unbelievable, but at least this trip wasn't in vain. I gathered such important information; I must report this quickly.
The shadow melted into the darkness.
Meanwhile, chaos reigned in an old mansion in Silver Moon City.
Five members of the He family were kneeling on the ground, surrounded by a circle of He family elders.
"Family head, what should we do? Please give us a decision!"
"Second Brother, I'm thinking too. Who knew things would get so complicated?"
"I told you to keep an eye on Xiaobin, but you always thought he was doing the right thing, that he could calculate everything."
"Does he think he's a god? Look at the people he's dealt with before, just a bunch of nobodies."
"Even letting those people cause trouble wouldn't stir up much, but he still pursued them relentlessly. This time, he finally met a tough opponent."
"No matter how the family handles this, I must avenge Bin'er."
"Second Brother, if you want revenge, leave the He family now. Do whatever you want, but it has nothing to do with the He family."
"Second Brother, calm down. Your son learned from you, always scheming and hiding things."
"Why didn't Father pass the family head position to you? Don't you understand?"
"Big Brother, no matter what, Bin'er was the prodigy of this generation in the family, and now he's ruined. I can't accept it."
"What can you do if you can't accept it? If you can unite the four major families, I'll agree to your revenge."
The He family head said discontentedly.
"This...!"
"Your son is crippled, and the other three families would celebrate with a feast if they heard."
"Dear, something terrible has happened." A middle-aged woman ran in crying from the back.
"What is it?" Second Brother He asked anxiously.
"Bin'er woke up, but he doesn't even recognize me, and drool keeps flowing from his mouth. The doctor said he's become an idiot."
"What! He was only injured in the arm and there, how could he become an idiot?" Second Brother He asked in disbelief.
"Second Brother, calm down. There must be a reason why Xiaobin became an idiot."
"You five, did you miss anything about how Huang Ye attacked?"
The five kneeling were also puzzled. How did Big Brother He suddenly become an idiot?
Especially the main attacker and the four attackers, they were also crippled by Huang Ye. They felt Huang Ye's True Qi only shattered their shoulder blades.
The other three looked at the two.
"Family head, we suffered the same injuries, but our brains are fine."
"Ah! I remember now, Huang Ye lightly tapped Big Brother's head after speaking." Jiang Yun slapped his forehead and said.
"Was that when he made his move, hiding some needle-like hidden weapon?"
Upon hearing this, Second Brother He's eyes immediately went blank, and he slumped into a chair.
The middle-aged woman fainted and was supported by a maid.
"Huang Ye, you're ruthless. Bin'er, it's your father's fault!" Second Brother He said, tears streaming down his face.
"Family head, Huang Ye really went too far."
"Big Brother, what did he do wrong? What can we do? Attack the academy or rally the four major families?"
"With our strength, how can we oppose the City Lord? The City Lord isn't an ordinary Martial Emperor. If we challenge him, the He family will be removed from the four major families."
"Can't we at least demand an explanation, to ease Second Brother's heart?"
"An explanation? Big Brother, if someone tried to assassinate you this way, would you let them live?"
"Whoever dared to sneak attack me, I'd skin them alive. Xiaobin's move was truly hateful."
"Honestly, if I had a son like that, I'd have crippled him long ago."
"Rotten to the core, despicable to the extreme!" The He family head said angrily.
