The Ao Cheng Family.
Liu Qing and Ao Cheng Nan were still unable to calm down after the scene just now.
In Dongli City, for a junior like Xiao Huohuo, reaching the peak of Second-rate was already considered an astonishing existence.
It could be said that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to treat him like a treasure, nurturing him with the entire clan's strength.
Yet, the young man before them had directly leaped over the hurdle of a young genius.
He had actually defeated Ao Cheng Qi, who was in the early Houtian stage.
The difference between them was unimaginably vast.
After defeating Ao Cheng Qi, Xiao Huohuo still looked relaxed. He surveyed the crowd and said flippantly:
"I didn't even use any strength, and this guy flew out."
"Your Ao Cheng Family, as the second-largest family in Dongli City, actually likes to play these scamming tactics."
"Let me make it clear, I don't have money to compensate you."
The two great elders of the Ao Cheng Family who had just been sent flying happened to wake up at this moment. Hearing Xiao Huohuo's words, they were enraged, their faces turning red. In their anger, they spat blood and fainted once more.
As they sprayed blood and fainted again, their miserable state was witnessed by everyone.
The Ao Cheng Family's high-level members who were present at the gathering, those who had previously viewed Xiao Huohuo as an ant, now looked as if they had seen ghosts.
Just Xiao Huohuo's gaze sweeping over them made their scalps tingle.
Unable to bear the shock, fearing that they would be Xiao Huohuo's next target, the high-level members all retreated into the main hall.
Most of them were only Second-rate martial artists. Staying on the field would only add to Ao Cheng Nan and the others' troubles.
At this moment, besides Xiao Huohuo, only three other people were still standing on the field.
Liu Cheng, known as the Swordsman, had been observing from the side with his arms crossed since Xiao Huohuo entered.
Watching Xiao Huohuo's actions, a look of disdain appeared on his face.
His expression seemed to be watching a child perform some shoddy tricks, and he frowned, saying:
"These people from the Ao Cheng Family are too much of a waste."
"They can't even subdue this reckless brat."
A smile appeared on his lips:
"This is good too. I can ask the Ao Cheng Family for some benefits afterward."
Ahead, Ao Cheng Nan seemed unable to take it anymore. He pointed at Xiao Huohuo and roared sternly:
"Brat, you're arrogant!"
"Your talent is strong, but it's still just talent."
"The strength you've honed with your talent is not enough for you to be presumptuous in my Ao Cheng Family!"
He glanced around at those beside and behind him, saying:
"Brother Liu, Patriarch Liu, let's attack together!"
"Let's capture this kid together!"
The two agreed simultaneously.
Without any hesitation, Ao Cheng Nan and Liu Qing simultaneously charged towards Xiao Huohuo.
The ferocity of their auras was astonishing.
Ao Cheng Nan stepped with peculiar footwork, his fist techniques carrying the force of the wind, sinister and vicious.
This was Ao Cheng Nan's signature skill.
A Profound Tier low-grade martial skill, Tiger Subduing Fist!
This fist technique was known for its ferocity. Ao Cheng Nan had always followed a path of powerful martial arts. With this fist technique, he became even more formidable, soaring to become the strongest in Dongli City besides Xiao Zhan.
As he attacked, it seemed as if a fierce tiger accompanied him, roaring in the night sky, striking fear into people's hearts.
On the other side, a sound of wind breaking echoed simultaneously.
Liu Qing's hands formed eagle claws, slashing towards Xiao Huohuo.
His technique was the renowned Yellow Tier high-grade claw technique in Dongli City, Eagle Claw!
As he executed it, he was as swift as an eagle, his speed making him impossible to defend against.
Under Liu Qing's claws, many First-rate martial artists had met their demise over the years!
The two attacked Xiao Huohuo in a coordinated pincer movement.
Xiao Huohuo immediately circulated the spiritual energy within his body, a rosy red hue appearing on his skin.
His speed instantly became more ferocious than that of tigers and leopards.
He dodged the punch with a sidestep and countered the claw strike with a palm strike.
Pa pa pa!
In a short time, his fists and palms were knocked down several times.
The eagle claw that was knocked down actually missed, and the middle claw wind landed on the ground.
Three scratches, each a foot deep, were immediately left on the ground.
Xiao Huohuo dealt with the two of them at the same time and was still at ease.
Liu Cheng, watching this scene from behind, lifted the black robe covering his body and muttered to himself:
"All of you are useless."
Beneath the black robe was extremely well-built muscle, not a single excess ounce of fat on his body.
He drew the long sword from behind him, swung it in a wide arc, and leaped forward, thrusting directly at Xiao Huohuo.
His movements and figure were far more agile than Ao Cheng Nan and Liu Qing.
His aura was also incredibly sharp.
The sword wind came from an extremely tricky angle, aiming for Xiao Huohuo's eyes.
The latter dodged in surprise, but Liu Cheng's assault did not stop.
Poke, stab, lift, chop, slice, each move fell, the swordplay was airtight, and every strike aimed at Xiao Huohuo's vital points.
Fist, sword, claw!
Three attacks came at him simultaneously. Xiao Huohuo was a little flustered at first, but he always managed to dodge them with his extremely agile movements.
He weaved through the pincer attack of the three like a loach.
Wind, wind, wind!
Several sounds of wind breaking through the air.
Xiao Huohuo fought with the three of them, and while dodging left and right, he slowly stabilized his figure.
His arms seemed to have swung countless times simultaneously, creating several afterimages in an instant.
Seeing that he couldn't break through their defenses, Liu Cheng circulated his internal energy.
The tip of his sword cut through the air, carrying a trace of striking sword energy.
After repelling the other two, Xiao Huohuo raised his hand, infused it with spiritual energy, and slapped directly at the sharp sword body.
A cold smile curled up on Liu Cheng's lips.
His Moon Tribulation Sword Technique was a beginner-level profound-tier martial skill.
When he unleashed it with all his might, the sword edge, carrying internal energy, was incredibly sharp.
Let alone slapping it, even a slight graze from the long sword would result in torn skin and bleeding.
If Xiao Huohuo slapped it directly like this, his entire palm would be gone!
Slap!
Liu Cheng suddenly felt a terrifying tremor coming from the sword body, which hurt his tiger's mouth and almost made him drop the sword!
Xiao Huohuo then swung an iron fist with his backhand, landing in front of Ao Cheng Nan and Liu Qing.
The force of the punch vibrated, causing the two to retreat.
They stopped and looked, and the places on Ao Cheng Nan and Liu Qing's arms that Xiao Huohuo had hit were already bruised purple-black.
All three of them simultaneously felt a hint of wanting to retreat.
Ao Cheng Nan said with some panic:
"This damned kid, how can he be so strong?"
"It's like his hands are bound with something like iron blocks. Every time we exchange blows, I feel uncomfortable."
The three looked grimly at Xiao Huohuo, who had no weapon in his hands.
It seemed he had practiced some kind of cultivation method.
Moreover, although Xiao Huohuo's movements didn't seem to involve any martial skill techniques, his reactions were more exaggerated than those of tigers and leopards, and his strength was terrifyingly immense.
He was like a fierce beast born for slaughter, with its combat instincts fully engaged.
Even the three of them working together couldn't take him down. Instead, as the fight progressed, they felt suppressed by him.
To be able to simultaneously deal with two early-stage Houtian realm martial artists and one middle-stage Houtian realm expert, and still remain undefeated...
Just how exaggerated was Xiao Huohuo's strength!
