Are You Brother Lin Xiao?!

"You are absolutely right, Young Master. Scum like this, who refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, reject the path of life and insist on walking the road to death, should be killed on the spot!!" Snake Lance Douluo said with an extremely grim expression, snorting coldly.

From the moment the assassin entered the room, the two of them had been silently observing from the shadows. If he had known what was good for him, obediently agreed to their young master's request, and willingly become their young master's subordinate, they would not have revealed themselves, much less taken action!

Yet reality was disappointing. The man's actions were truly revolting. He simply did not know what was good for him and had even attempted to assassinate their young master. Such conduct was utterly vile.

Their young master was kind and righteous, compassionate at heart, and friendly and gentle toward her subordinates. Seeing that he had decent talent, she had taken a liking to him and given him a chance to live. Who would have thought he would refuse outright? What a rotten bastard!

"Elder Snake Lance, Elder Pufferfish, do it now. Do not spill blood in my room," 'Xue Qinghe' said calmly.

As Xue Qinghe's voice faded, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo, the two Title Douluo, immediately prepared to strike. Yet Lin Xiao showed no panic whatsoever and merely sneered coldly.

"Two Title Douluo are indeed exceptionally powerful existences. But if you wish to take me down, I'm afraid you are still somewhat lacking," Lin Xiao said slowly with a faint smile.

"What an arrogant brat! At most, you have merely reached the Soul Douluo realm, yet you dare look down on us Title Douluo like this? You deserve to die!!!" Snake Lance Douluo roared furiously.

In his eyes, this assassin had managed to pass through layer after layer of tight defenses, arrive here safely, defeat two Soul Saint guards, and crush over a hundred Soul Masters from the Royal Guard Knights of the Crown Prince's Mansion. The strength he had displayed could at most be at the Soul Douluo level!

As for the level of a Title Douluo, Snake Lance Douluo had never even considered it. At the man's current age, reaching the Soul Douluo realm was already an unparalleled talent!

But reaching the Title Douluo realm at his age was simply a fantasy. Perhaps it might have been possible if it were Spirit Hall's Holy Son from back then!

And yet, with death staring him in the face and no way out, this man was unexpectedly still so arrogant. Not only did he show contempt for the two Title Douluo, he even spoke such wild words!

"You outrageously arrogant bastard, prepare to pay a painful price for your arrogance!" Snake Lance Douluo said with a frosty face and a cold snort.

The moment he finished speaking, neither of them hesitated. They struck decisively in an instant, their broad and sinewy palms lunging straight toward either side of Lin Xiao's head. The attack appeared ordinary, but it contained the ultimate force of Title Douluo. If an ordinary Title Douluo were struck, he would die on the spot!

'Xue Qinghe' watched with an indifferent gaze. Yet in her eyes, Lin Xiao was actually smiling as he faced the pincer attack of two Title Douluo. That smile carried an indescribable meaning.

"Hmm?" As the closest ones, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo noticed it first and immediately increased their strength!

Just as their broad, powerful palms came within less than a centimeter of Lin Xiao's head, their bodies abruptly froze in place without warning.

Lin Xiao's own vast aura suddenly erupted, like raging waves, instantly suppressing the powerful auras emitted by Snake Lance and Porcupinefish!

"What... what is going on?" Snake Lance Douluo exerted all his strength to control his palm, but to his astonishment, no matter how hard he tried, he could not move even a fraction closer to Lin Xiao. His body seemed to have been forcibly frozen in place.

With a BOOM, the ground beneath Snake Lance and Porcupinefish Douluo's feet suddenly shattered. An immense pressure surged forth and descended upon them. Even as Title Douluo, they were utterly unable to resist such overwhelming pressure.

The pressure continued to rise. The two were now practically half-kneeling on the ground, their eyes filled with terror as they stared straight at Lin Xiao.

"Since coming out of seclusion, I have never properly tested my strength. But judging from the current situation, my strength seems to be extremely formidable. Ordinary Title Douluo probably do not even have the qualifications to stand firm before me!"

A brilliant smile hung on Lin Xiao's face as he fixed his gaze on the still-stunned 'Xue Qinghe' and spoke with a smile.

Snake Lance and Porcupinefish Douluo both fell to their knees. Terror instantly enveloped them, reaching an unimaginable level. The two had even lost the ability to speak, staring despairingly at 'Xue Qinghe' with expressions that seemed to say, Run! Quickly run!

Lin Xiao walked directly through the encirclement formed by the two men without hesitation and slowly approached to within less than half a meter of 'Xue Qinghe'. Gazing at Qian Renxue's panicked eyes, he slowly raised his arm. Then, the soul rings beneath his feet gradually appeared, radiating dazzling light.

Watching Lin Xiao's palm draw ever closer to Qian Renxue's head, the kneeling Snake Lance Douluo let out a hysterical, furious roar. "If you... if you dare harm our young master, then Spirit Hall's more than ten Title Douluo will pursue you without rest, no matter where you hide! Even if they have to dig three feet into the ground, they will hunt you down!"

Snake Lance and Porcupinefish finally realized that they had underestimated the young man before them. They had thought he was merely a Soul Douluo with peerless talent, but that was clearly not the case. The two of them had been effortlessly suppressed. He was actually a powerful Title Douluo who had never appeared on the continent before, and his strength far surpassed theirs!

They could only hope that, in consideration of Spirit Hall's extraordinary and lofty status, he would stop here. Yet Lin Xiao seemed not to hear them at all. His palm slowly approached Qian Renxue before finally landing gently atop her head and rubbing it hard.

"Xiao Xue, it's been a long time. Did you miss me?" Lin Xiao asked with utmost sincerity, a heartfelt smile blooming across his face.
