Xingyi Baguazhan is the strongest offensive technique in Xingyi Quan. Although Wu Xue had practiced Xingyi Quan for over ten years, he had not yet perfected this move.
In the post-apocalyptic world, Ye Tianchen, as a god-level psychic, had once fought against a grandmaster of Xingyi Quan and experienced the power of this ancient martial art. That battle almost cost him his life, which shows how dangerous it was.
Using Wu Xue's Xingyi Baguazhan, Ye Tianchen activated all the psychic energy in his body's meridians and simultaneously stimulated the psychic core in his brain. In this life-or-death crisis, he broke through his psychic level, advancing from the Duke level to the King level. This one-level increase in strength was like the difference between heaven and earth. With a loud shout, he managed to counter Wu Xue's Xingyi Baguazhan, which was not at its peak.
Ye Tianchen smiled, his hands in his pockets, and walked up to Wu Xue. To be honest, Wu Xue's strength was not weak; it was just that his Xingyi Baguazhan had not reached its peak. Plus, Ye Tianchen's sudden breakthrough and rapid increase in strength caught Wu Xue off guard, otherwise, he wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.
"I lost, kill me!" Wu Xue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Ye Tianchen.
Wu Xue never thought that he, the top assassin in Kyoto, who had never failed in his missions and always killed his targets instantly, would be defeated by Ye Tianchen. Even using the ultimate technique of Xingyi Quan, he still lost. Ye Tianchen's roar alone was enough to defeat him, which greatly hurt Wu Xue's pride and left him feeling disheartened.
Ye Tianchen didn't say anything; he leaned against a nearby tree, took out two cigarettes, lit one for himself, took a puff, and threw the other to Wu Xue, who was taken aback, unsure of Ye Tianchen's intentions.
"Winners and losers, I, Wu Xue, lost, and I accept it. Go ahead and finish me off." Wu Xue looked at Ye Tianchen and said solemnly.
"I won't kill you, you can go." Ye Tianchen smiled and said to Wu Xue.
Wu Xue was stunned; he never expected Ye Tianchen to spare his life, which was truly unexpected.
"You won't kill me? I was sent to kill you..." Wu Xue asked in surprise.
"I'm not a bloodthirsty person, and you are a man of integrity. Practice for a few more years and come challenge me again!"
After saying this, Ye Tianchen turned and left. He really didn't want to kill Wu Xue because when Wu Xue appeared, he sensed that Wu Xue was not a ruthless killer. If another killer had Wu Xue's skills, they would not be so upright. Wu Xue was a killer with a conscience and not a coward.
Watching Ye Tianchen turn and leave, Wu Xue was stunned. He suddenly realized that this man, who had become a laughingstock in Kyoto, had an indescribable aura of a king. He was not afraid of being assassinated, had his own principles, and was extremely skilled, yet he was also carefree.
"It was the Luo family who sent me. I couldn't kill you this time, but the Luo family will have other plans." Wu Xue stood up and said, looking at Ye Tianchen's back.
"With your skills, I doubt you lack money. The Luo family is despicable, yet you accepted their contract. I'm quite curious about that." Ye Tianchen turned and looked at Wu Xue.
Wu Xue looked at Ye Tianchen and sighed, "I was an orphan from a young age, raised by my adoptive father. My adoptive father was imprisoned in Kyoto. Luo Songcheng promised me that if I could kill you, he would release my adoptive father."
"What's your adoptive father's name?" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and asked.
"Yang Hai!"
"Here's a deal. Kill two people for me, and I'll find a way to get your adoptive father out of prison." Ye Tianchen smiled and said.
"Who should I kill?" Wu Xue asked, looking at Ye Tianchen.
"Luo Lei and Luo Tao." Ye Tianchen said calmly.
Hearing this, Wu Xue was stunned. He never expected Ye Tianchen to ask him to kill Luo Songcheng's two grandsons. The Luo family was a prominent family in Kyoto, and Luo Songcheng might even enter the military committee in the upcoming election. If Luo Lei and Luo Tao were killed, it would be a severe blow to the Luo family and cause a stir in Kyoto.
Actually, during the fight with Wu Xue, Ye Tianchen had already thought of this. With Wu Xue's skills, killing people in the Luo family would be easy. Luo Songcheng, being a powerful and protective old man, would not let it go. Since he dared to hire a killer to kill him, there was no need to be polite. He needed to cut off the Luo family's roots first to show that the Ye family was not to be trifled with.
"What? Afraid?" Ye Tianchen saw Wu Xue standing there and asked with a smile.
"Not afraid, but have you thought about the consequences? If I kill Luo Lei and Luo Tao, the Luo family and the Ye family will have an irreconcilable feud. You know that the Ye family is declining and not a match for the Luo family. The Ye family will face a great crisis." Wu Xue glanced at Ye Tianchen and said.
"That's my problem. Just go and kill them. Also, when you kill them, you can claim that I, Ye Tianchen, did it. It's that simple!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.
Wu Xue was shocked. He never imagined that Ye Tianchen would have such a bold and daring spirit. Not only did he want him to kill the Luo family's two grandsons, but he also wanted him to claim that he did it. This was not arrogance or pride, but a kind of extraordinary courage.
"Are you sure?" Wu Xue frowned and asked.
"Absolutely sure. Go and kill them. When I hear that Luo Lei and Luo Tao are dead, your adoptive father will be released from prison."
After saying this, Ye Tianchen didn't wait for Wu Xue to respond and turned to leave. Originally, Ye Tianchen planned to kill Luo Lei and Luo Tao himself, but since Luo Songcheng, regardless of his military status, hired a killer to kill him, he would not let the Ye family off in the future. For such a disrespectful person, Ye Tianchen would not be lenient. He would not leave any danger for his family and would definitely strike back strongly.
If it weren't for the plan to kill Li Tie tonight, Ye Tianchen would have gone to the Luo family himself. He believed in cutting off the roots to prevent future troubles, which was not his style.
Watching Ye Tianchen leave, Wu Xue clenched his fists tightly and left the small forest...
The battle with Wu Xue made Ye Tianchen realize that in this world, there were many more powerful experts. If his own strength was not strong enough, he could not protect what he had.
Kyoto was a place where many powerful forces and prominent families coexisted, a place of hidden dragons and tigers. To survive here was extremely difficult. The competition between families and the clash of power seemed calm on the surface but was actually filled with blood and violence. Even if you didn't provoke others, they would provoke you. It was that simple.
Ye Tianchen had long realized that to stand firm in Kyoto and revitalize the Ye family, he needed iron-fisted methods. In short, he needed to strike back strongly against any provocation, making it clear that the Ye family was not to be trifled with.
Leaving the small forest, Ye Tianchen didn't go home but hailed a taxi in the villa area and headed to Li Tie's residence. Tonight, he would kill this leader of Kyoto's underground forces, a lackey of the Qin family, to warn the Qin family that they couldn't act high and mighty just because they were a first-class family. He, Ye Tianchen, wouldn't stand for it.
At this moment, in Li Tie's villa, Shan Xiong's arms hung limply in front of his chest, his face pale, and he was sweating profusely as he looked at Li Tie.
Slap!
Li Tie slapped the table and said fiercely, "Did Ye Tianchen really say that?"
"Yes, Brother Li. He said to prepare your coffin!" Shan Xiong said, somewhat afraid.
Bang!
Hearing this, Li Tie threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, shattering it. He had been in Kyoto for decades, and no one had ever dared to speak to him like that. Even the powerful families in Kyoto wouldn't dare to offend him so much. In Li Tie's view, Ye Tianchen was just a descendant of a third-rate family, yet he dared to speak to him like that. How could he tolerate it?
"Hmph, hahaha..." Li Tie suddenly laughed in anger, making Shan Xiong break out in a cold sweat.
"Brother, what should we do?" Shan Xiong asked in a low voice.
"Good, very good. If that little bastard dares to come, I'll make sure he doesn't leave!" Li Tie said through gritted teeth.
"Boss, I think we should prepare. The current Ye Tianchen is not the same as the former idiot. He dared to go to the Heavenly World and beat up Luo Lei, not fearing the Luo family. He might really come to kill you!" Xiao Qing frowned and said.
"I'm not afraid of him coming; I'm afraid he won't come. Shan Xiong, call Shan Ji and the others back immediately. Tonight, I'll make sure Ye Tianchen doesn't leave!" Li Tie said with a sinister smile.
"Brother, should we really call Shan Ji and the others back? If we use guns, it might..." Shan Xiong said, somewhat worried.
Shan Ji was one of Li Tie's top lieutenants, not only skilled but also in charge of an elite gun squad. This elite gun squad was rarely used because, in Kyoto, although bloodshed was common, it was still the capital, and few dared to act recklessly.
In China, using knives and using guns were two different things. Using guns in Kyoto was even more serious.
"Fear what? I want Ye Tianchen to know that I, Li Tie, rule the underground in Kyoto!" Li Tie shouted, his eyes bloodshot.
"Understood, Brother!"
Watching Shan Xiong turn to leave, Li Tie's mistress, Xiao Qing, said with some concern, "If we really kill Ye Tianchen, what about the Ye family?"
"Hmph! The Ye family has long declined. I don't believe they will do anything to me after I kill Ye Tianchen. Besides, we have the support of the Qin family, right?" Li Tie said, a sinister smile appearing on his lips.
