Chapter 80

Xiao Bing struggled to get up from the ground, his strength completely drained. However, there was no trace of fear or submission in his eyes. Instead, he raised his head and looked provocatively at the牡丹仙子 (Peony Fairy) on the high platform of the VIP seats.

The Peony Fairy stood there, her eyes red with hatred, and her voice was chillingly cold: "What if you win against him? Aren't you still going to die here today? I have over two thousand subordinates in the three northern districts of Jiangcheng. They could tear you apart with their teeth or beat you into a pulp with their fists. There are over four hundred people surrounding you now. With your strength completely drained, do you have the confidence to defeat them?"

Ye Bancheng said calmly, "As an impartial witness, I must say a few words. Breaking your word is not a good thing, is it?"

Lord Hou said sternly, "Peony, let him go!"

The Peony Fairy pointed at Xiao Bing and shrieked, "He killed my people. I can give up everything in this life, but I must kill him here today, I must!"

Hundreds of thugs surrounded Xiao Bing, a dark and dense crowd, all shouting for his death, the cries shaking the heavens.

Xiao Bing burst into laughter, spinning around on the spot, his face a mix of coldness and dominance. He looked like a fierce tiger surveying its prey, a supreme king looking down on his subjects. He spread his arms wide and laughed loudly, "I have fought in battles for so many years, personally killing countless criminals. Do you think I will be killed by you punks? Come on, try to kill me!"

Ye Xinyi also stood up, her breathing almost stopping as she watched Xiao Bing standing in the center of the arena, wild and unrestrained, her eyes shimmering with a faint light.

Hualian suddenly whispered from the side, "He deserves to die!"

This voice of condemnation carried boundless hatred, making it hard to imagine when Xiao Bing had offended this man.

The thugs were momentarily stunned by Xiao Bing's ferocity and dominance, their steps frozen. The Peony Fairy raised her hand again, her voice sharp and filled with murderous intent, "Kill!"

For a moment, the cries of death shook the sky, and a dense mass of black shadows rushed towards Xiao Bing. Yezi screamed and tried to rush forward but was pulled back by Baolei. Baolei glanced at Erhuo, and the two of them charged into the crowd. Just as they took two steps, a roar erupted from Xiao Bing's throat, a sound like a wolf's howl or a tiger's roar, which then turned into a wild beast's roar.

A terrifying aura began to rage from the center, causing the dense crowd to fall into chaos. The terrifying aura spread out, and the dozen or so thugs at the forefront were thrown into the air as if caught in a tornado, flying over ten meters away, some landing in the dust, others crashing into the crowd.

Baolei stopped, his eyes wide, muttering, "What's happening?"

The people in the VIP seats and the spectators were all stunned. The terrifying aura continued to rage, and a terrifying whirlwind centered on Xiao Bing began to spread, causing the surrounding thugs to scream in panic, shouting, cursing, and crying out incoherently.

One, two, three, four... dozens... hundreds... countless people were thrown back by this terrifying force, the rest unable to stand steady, swaying and falling. Even the spectators in the stands felt this terrifying force, hastily turning their backs to the arena and lying on their seats. Despite the distance, the terrifying aura still made them feel panic.

Within ten meters of Xiao Bing, there was no one left. Xiao Bing could feel an extremely terrifying force raging within his body, even raging inside him. The seal given to him by Zhang Yizhi had not been broken, meaning this force did not belong to his original strength but was a mysterious force that had been dormant within him. This feeling made Xiao Bing feel both terrified and extremely excited, as he realized how incredibly powerful he was at this moment.

Powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth!

Xiao Bing's consciousness began to blur, his eyes turning red, his skin turning as red as if it had been charred. His body bent, indicating that his consciousness was becoming blurred. With a low roar, the raging force increased several times. Baolei pressed Yezi into the seat, using his body to shield her from the terrifying force, which made his back ache.

Dozens of meters away!

Dozens of meters away, the force was still strong enough to make Baolei, the first-rate expert of the Ye family, feel unbearable pain!

Erhuo fell to the ground, his body curling up.

Even in the VIP seats, people covered their faces with their hands, the force, though weakened by the time it reached them, still felt like a strong wind.

Lord Hou changed his expression for the first time, asking, "What kind of strength is this? Transformation Stage?"

The person standing behind Lord Hou said in disbelief, "Beyond the Transformation Stage... I... I can't understand."

"Even you can't see through it," Lord Hou took a deep breath and nodded, "Beyond the Transformation Stage... unimaginable... incredible..."

The person behind Lord Hou sighed, his voice hoarse, "Such terrifying strength, beyond human capability, he is not a human, he is a monster."

Hundreds of thugs were all thrown back, dozens severely injured, the rest lying on the ground, trembling in fear.

One person standing, ten thousand bowing!

Finally, the aura began to dissipate, and everyone regained their senses. Xiao Bing stood in the center of the arena, panting heavily, and then fell to the ground, unconscious.

Although the Peony Fairy was also shocked, the terrifying aura was beyond her imagination. Seeing Zhu Mingyu's body fly dozens of meters away, and thinking of his appearance before death, her heart was bleeding. She gritted her teeth and said, "He cannot be spared. He is already unconscious, kill him, and I will reward five million in cash!"

The thugs, who had just gotten up, were already terrified by what had just happened. In their minds, Xiao Bing was no longer a human but a devil. However, hearing the cash reward and the order from the North King, they weighed their options and still charged forward. The devil had fallen, and all that was left was to cut off his head. What was there to fear?

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, damn it!" Erhuo charged forward, Yezi followed closely behind, and Baolei hesitated for a moment before following, guarding Yezi's side.

At this point, there were still over two hundred thugs who were only lightly injured and still had fighting strength. Yezi was already standing in front of Xiao Bing, squatting down, and gently stroking his face with her smooth fingers, tears sliding down and landing on Xiao Bing's face. She said softly, "Erhuo, help me lift Brother Bing up."

Erhuo agreed and helped lift Xiao Bing. Yezi supported Xiao Bing on her shoulders and said, "Erhuo, let go."

Erhuo hesitated, and Yezi said, "I'm fine."

Erhuo had to let go, allowing Xiao Bing's heavy body to press on Yezi's delicate shoulders. Yezi's steps wobbled slightly but she still stood firm. She then looked up at the Peony Fairy standing high above, her voice still pleasant but with a strong and icy tone, "Peony Fairy, North King... whatever you want to be called, today you broke your word, and everything you have done to Brother Bing, I will return to you in full."

"You may not believe me, and in your eyes, I may just be a weak girl, but the power of hatred is strong. Xiao Bing is the man I love, and no one can harm him. Any harm to him is a harm to me, and any humiliation to him is a humiliation to me."

"Now I am taking Brother Bing away. His injuries are too severe. You have many people here, and the entire northern three districts are your territory. I am just a weak woman. If you want to kill Brother Bing now, you will have to step over my body first. The Ye family has never had a coward, and I, Ye Xiaoxi, am no exception!"

"Now I am leaving. If anyone wants to make a move, go ahead. Erhuo, follow me, don't stop them. I want to see who dares to kill me today. Uncle Lei, go take care of my father."

After saying this, Yezi carried Xiao Bing on her shoulder and walked step by step towards the entrance of the arena, countless eyes on the two of them, each person's gaze filled with complexity. If the Peony Fairy gave the order now, with just a weak Yezi, these two would likely die immediately, even with Erhuo's protection, Erhuo might not be able to handle so many people.

Lord Hou looked at Ye Bancheng and asked, "Old Ye, you..."

"I can't do anything about it," Ye Bancheng leaned back slightly, smiling faintly, "Yezi is stubborn, and she doesn't listen to me, her father. Besides, this is a matter between her and her man, and between her man and the North King. I am just a spectator today."

At this moment, Baolei had already returned to Ye Bancheng's side. Ye Bancheng stood up with his cane, and Ye Xinyi and Ye Tianming hurriedly stood up. Ye Bancheng said calmly, "Lord Hou, you don't need to see us off. Since the result has already been decided, Baolei, let's go... Lord Hou, North King, you handle the rest."

Ye Bancheng and the others walked further away through the VIP area. Ye Xinyi's eyes were filled with complexity. Her father's stance clearly showed that he was completely on Yezi and Xiao Bing's side. The father who always valued gains and losses had offended Lord Hou for his youngest daughter, making Ye Xinyi feel uneasy.

After walking far away, Ye Tianming whispered worriedly, "Father, about the little sister... if they really make a move..."

Ye Bancheng said, "Although Lord Hou can cover the sky with one hand in Jiangcheng, and although I, Ye Bancheng, am on my last legs, I am not dead yet. He wants to kill my daughter? He dares not!"

Ye Bancheng's cane hit the ground heavily, his dominance evident.
