Encirclement: Gale Bi Wanted to Die Together with Xiao Yuan

Upon hearing this, Gale Bi suddenly turned around, only to see the steel blade in Xiao Yan's hand plunged straight into Liu Xi's chest. With his other hand, Xiao Yan directly removed Liu Xi's Storage Ring from his finger.

Then, Xiao Yan stood up, holding Liu Xi's Storage Ring and Gale Ao's Storage Ring, which he had somehow gotten his hands on, and smiled as he waved at Gale Bi in greeting.

"You're courting death!"

At the sight of this, a savage grin appeared on Gale Bi's face. He refused to believe that this little bastard would be just as hard to kill!

The next moment, his figure shot forward toward Xiao Yan. At the same time, he clenched his fist, and the surging Azure Douqi around it rapidly condensed into a massive azure vortex.

Seeing this, golden flames suddenly appeared in Xun Er's eyes in the distance.

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes as well, tightening his right fist. A faint glimmer flickered across the ancient black Storage Ring.

Sizzle! At that moment, the air before Xiao Yan suddenly turned cold.

At the same time, Xiao Yuan rapidly formed a series of hand seals with both hands and roared inwardly, Ice Mirror! As Xiao Yuan completed the final seal, a great deal of black mist suddenly appeared before Xiao Yan. The mist then churned violently, and a translucent blackish-gray ice mirror, roughly half a meter in length and width, abruptly condensed before him.

"Bang!"

Gale Bi's fist crashed down, smashing heavily into the ice mirror! The next instant, Gale Bi's expression changed sharply. He discovered that at the very moment his fist struck the mirror, a fierce force no weaker than his own rebounded from it. Caught off guard, Gale Bi was blasted backward.

Yet at the same time, the Ice Mirror was shattered by the wind vortex around Gale Bi's fist. However, when that vortex shot out, Xiao Yan had already seized the chance to use the Fire Blowing Palm to force his body sideways.

After giving the still-flying Gale Ao the middle finger, Xiao Yan hurried toward Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Zhan was also momentarily stunned by his two sons' performance, but he quickly came to his senses. He closed in, condensed Douqi Armor, and charged straight at Gale Bi.

"Cough, cough. Well done!"

Xiao Yuan's face was somewhat pale as he coughed, then forced a smile and high-fived Xiao Yan in praise.

"Hehe!"

Xiao Yan wore the same smile before asking with concern, "Brother, are you all right?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head. "I'm fine. Just a little drained."

"That's good!"

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yuan's signal earlier had been for him to hide in the shadows. If Gale Bi had acted in time and saved Gale Ao, then Xiao Yan would probably have had to kill one more person just now. But if he had not, then with Gale Bi's speed, there was no way he would have let Xiao Yuan get another chance to deal with Liu Xi, much less take their Storage Rings.

But Xiao Yan could! And this would be the final straw to crush the last shred of Gale Bi's reason.

Sure enough, just as Xiao Yuan had expected, Gale Bi attacked Xiao Yan.

The Ice Mirror did not merely possess formidable defensive power. More importantly, it could return the full force of an attacker's strike.

If Gale Bi had been a peak Dou Grandmaster, Xiao Yuan's Ice Mirror would not have been able to hinder him at all. But he was only a Five-Star Dou Grandmaster. Moreover, Xiao Yuan had deliberately drawn all the Douqi from both the Black Water Qi Gathering Palaces and the Azure Wood Qi Gathering Palaces to cast the Ice Mirror, so its effect was naturally quite good.

However, only Xiao Yuan, with his five Qi Gathering Palaces and astonishing reserves of Douqi, could act so recklessly. If it had been another Dou Zhe, there would probably have been only death waiting for them.

After all, when facing a powerful enemy, gathering all one's Douqi merely to block a single attack would only delay one's death for a moment.

But in this situation, that old dog Gale was dead for sure today!

Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes as he watched Gale Bi being held back by Xiao Zhan.

By now, the three elders should have arrived, right? The thought had barely surfaced in Xiao Yuan's mind when three familiar figures sped across the rooftops of the market.

"No more trouble now. Let's have this old dog die here today!"

Seeing that the three elders had finally arrived, Xiao Yuan curled his lips into a smile and spoke.

Xiao Yan beside him also understood what was happening. He was already tired of praising Third Brother. In any case, he could never match such swift adaptability and calculating ability.

All he could say was, Third Brother was far too damn—strategic!

A trace of surprise also flashed through Xun Er's eyes in the distance. She had not expected Xiao Yuan's reaction speed to be so fast. But that was good too. With an elder brother like this to look after Brother Xiao Yan in the future, she could be much more at ease.

Xiao Ning still had not figured out what was going on, but joy appeared on his face nonetheless. What he did understand was that the three elders had arrived, so Gale Bi was definitely finished!

After thinking it over, Xiao Yu had also roughly understood what had happened. As she gazed at Xiao Yuan's handsome profile, smiling from the side, the affection in her eyes had grown so intense it nearly overflowed.

Among the mercenaries still watching the spectacle, some had also seen through the Xiao Clan's intentions. Looking at Xiao Yuan smiling in the distance, how could they not understand? Although the incident had erupted suddenly, the plot against Gale Bi had most likely been premeditated.

And judging by the situation, it had most likely been the handiwork of this Third Young Master.

Damn it, this kid looked prettier than a woman and usually acted like a refined young gentleman, so why was he so full of dirty tricks? Realizing this, their scalps tingled. They immediately began wondering whether they had ever offended Xiao Yuan, lest they die one day without even knowing why.

Meanwhile, Gale Bi, who had been completely pushed into a disadvantage while being besieged by four Dou Grandmasters, finally regained his clarity.

Damn it, I fell into their trap.

Although he had switched the cultivation method he practiced to the Wind Scroll Skill over the past year, he still could not withstand the coordinated assault of four Dou Grandmasters from the Xiao Clan!

What was more, this was Xiao Clan territory. Those two little bastards only needed to hold out for a while before the clan's experts arrived, but he likely would not last until the two elders of his own clan came! Glancing at Gale Ao, who lay on the ground split in two by his Wind Blade, Gale Bi's face twitched. This was fucking disastrous!

I'll stake it all!

There was no need to say more about the current situation. His only choice was to break through! "Azure Wind Whirlwind Fist!"

Gale Bi roared, and Douqi surged around both fists, once again forming two enormous wind vortices.

"Lion Mountain Split!"

Xiao Zhan also shouted furiously and thrust both fists forward. The vague image of lion heads emerged over his iron fists.

Then, both men were sent flying backward.

Xiao Zhan's feet slammed heavily against the ground. He retreated several steps and steadied himself.

But Gale Bi was not so fortunate.

The three Xiao Clan elders seized the opportunity and rushed forward together. As Douqi surged wildly from their hands, each condensed a killing blow and struck at Gale Bi!

"Pfft!"

Although Gale Bi was stronger than each of the three elders, the earlier encirclement and his clash with Xiao Zhan had consumed more than half the Douqi in his body. Naturally, he could no longer resist the combined assault of three Dou Grandmasters and was blasted into coughing blood.

Feeling the injuries within his body and his chaotic Douqi, Gale Bi's expression darkened further.

He could not escape!

In his current state, even if he faced a Dou Master, he had little chance of winning.

In the corner of his eye, Xiao Yuan's cold sneer came into view.

Madness surfaced on Gale Bi's face.

Xiao Yuan's aura was weak at the moment, clearly because that earlier use of a Dou Skill had exhausted his Douqi.

Let's see how you block this now! Forcibly gathering his Douqi and unleashing the Azure Wind Whirlwind Fist once more, Gale Bi charged at Xiao Yuan with a vicious expression and snarled, "Go down and accompany my son in death, you little beast!"
