Chapter 3: Martial arts master, I will kill you like a dog!

The sound was not loud, but exceptionally crisp. Swoosh! Swoosh! Countless people turned their heads to look at Ben Xiao. The three sturdy men who came with Douglas Ye also climbed to the third floor, angrily surrounding Ben Xiao. Douglas Ye raised his eyebrows, "Who are you?" Ben Xiao coldly uttered three words, "Ben Xiao." Douglas Ye shook his head, indicating he hadn't heard of him, and sneered, "Do you want to fight with me too?" Ben Xiao replied, "No." Douglas Ye mocked, "Then shut up. Otherwise, I don't mind slapping you to death!" Ben Xiao said, "I won't fight you because you're not qualified to be my opponent. Instead, I'm here to kill you!" Before Douglas Ye could speak, Pearl Mu immediately stood up to apologize, "Master Hu, please calm down. His mind is not quite right. Please don't bother with him." Swoosh! Pearl Mu grabbed Ben Xiao's arm, sternly rebuking, "Ben Xiao, there's no place for you to speak here. Shut up for me!" Ben Xiao remained calm, "Are you concerned about me?" Pearl Mu said, "I'm afraid you'll die, and I won't be able to explain to my dad." "Wasn't it your dad who asked me to help you?" "Ben Xiao, you've seen Douglas Ye's strength, the kick that knocked out Elliott Xiong had at least a force of a thousand kilograms. Even ten of you are not his match. Stop making trouble, okay?" "You don't understand me, on what basis do you say I'm not his opponent? Besides, last night, I promised Colin Chen to deal with Douglas Ye for him. As a person, I must keep my word." Ben Xiao broke free from Pearl Mu's grip, slowly stood up, and met Douglas Ye's gaze, "Douglas Ye, you shouldn't have come. You shouldn't have revealed that your master is Eric Ye from Jiang Bei." Douglas Ye laughed heartily, "The weirdos I met in Beining District today are one after another. I'd like to see what qualifications you, a little kid, have to brag." "Need qualifications? Fine, I'll give you some." As he spoke, Ben Xiao gently raised his right hand. As if lifting an invisible divine sword. Then, he closed his index and middle fingers and swiftly slashed forward. Boom! The void exploded! As if detonating a bomb. An invisible sword energy soared into the air, reaching three meters high, and rushing forward close to the ground. Boom! Boom! Boom! The sword's energy cut through the redwood floor, tea tables, and chairs... advancing forward, cutting everything in its path. It roared ten meters away, then burst out of the third floor and continued to sweep through the sky. It severed a century-old pine tree ten meters away from the Tower. The big tree shook, the ancient building trembled, and pine needles filled the sky! Douglas Ye's three subordinates couldn't evade in time, cut into two, and instantly died! "Do I have the qualifications now?" Silence! The entire place fell into dead silence! Colin Chen, Derek Chen, Unique Zhou, Pearl Mu... all dumbfounded. Is this still a human?! Especially Pearl Mu, the way she looked at Ben Xiao was like looking at a devil. She was also from a prestigious family, once served in the military, and after managing a security group, she had recruited all sorts of extraordinary individuals. However, she had never seen someone as formidable as Ben Xiao! This, he's almost like a deity! Internal energy was released, and fingers formed into a sword! Others may not know what this move means, but Douglas Ye is very clear. This is the legendary... Martial Arts Grandmaster!!! Plop! Douglas Ye's eyes widened, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing for mercy. "Master Xiao, I'm sorry! It was my mistake earlier!! For any offenses, please forgive me, Master!" "I don't want Colin Chen's money anymore, and I won't pursue his previous persecution of my wife. The losses I caused by smashing the Chen family's industries recently, I will return them double. How about that?" Seeing Ben Xiao not expressing his stance, Douglas Ye kowtowed again, "My master is Eric Ye, a master of internal energy with billions in assets, known as the King of Jiang Bei. Please, Master Xiao, spare my master. Let me go!" Ben Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, indifferently saying, "Originally, I could. But since your master is Eric Ye, then it's not possible." Douglas Ye panicked, "Please, Master, explain." Ben Xiao coldly said, "Five years ago, the entire Xiao family of Zhonghai was slaughtered. Eric Ye was involved. This time, I've come south to seek justice for the Xiao family." Douglas Ye seemed to realize something terrifying and stammered, "You, are you the survivor of the Dragon Mountain Xiao family?!" Swoosh! Ben Xiao appeared in front of Douglas Ye with a sliding step, "You know too much." Douglas Ye suddenly realized the killing intent emanating from Ben Xiao and nervously shouted, "No, you can't kill me. My master is the King of Jiang Bei!!!" "If you kill me, the sky in Jiang Bei will collapse! You can't bear the consequences!" Ben Xiao snorted, "Dare the King of Jiang Bei to claim the power in Jiang Bei? Ridiculous! Today, you take the first step. I'll send the King of Jiang Bei down to accompany you later!" "I want to see if, after killing you, the sky in Jiang Bei will really collapse!" With that, he raised his hand, used his hand as a knife, and swiped across Douglas Ye's neck. Crack! Head relocation! Douglas Ye, dead! Dead silence throughout the venue! Everyone was horrified, chilled to the bone! They never expected Ben Xiao to actually kill Douglas Ye! Douglas is the beloved disciple of the King of Jiang Bei! Wasn't Ben Xiao afraid of retaliation from the King of Jiang Bei?! It was over! The sky in Jiang Bei was going to collapse! Ben Xiao paid no attention to their shock but picked up a luggage bag nearby, carefully putting Douglas Ye's head into it and zipping it up. Lifting the luggage bag, Ben Xiao walked towards the stairs, saying, "Colin Chen, I helped you because Huayun Peak spoke up. It has nothing to do with anything else." "After today, between you and me, we are even." When passing by Pearl Mu, Ben Xiao paused for a moment, scrutinizing this extraordinarily beautiful woman, "You always thought that I couldn't match you. But have you ever truly understood me?" Pearl Mu hadn't recovered from the shock several times trying to speak but stopping. Ben Xiao's performance was too shocking. Seeing her anxious and reluctant to speak, Ben Xiao smiled with a playful look. "Your security group is not very interesting. How about disbanding it and joining me?" Leaving behind these words, Ben Xiao had already walked downstairs. Behind him came the unanimous voice of everyone. "Farewell, Master Xiao!" Pearl Mu stood at the stairway, watching Ben Xiao's departing figure, her beautiful eyes flickering. For a long time, she couldn't find words to say. ... The crowd dispersed, leaving only Colin Chen and his son Derek Chen upstairs at the Tower. Derek Chen slumped in the chair, trembling, "I really didn't expect this guy's strength to reach the astonishing level of a Grandmaster in martial arts. No wonder General David Hua personally recommended him. But he actually killed Douglas Ye, the beloved disciple of The King of Jiang Bei Eric Ye. Jiang Bei is about to experience a major earthquake." Colin Chen sighed, "To reach the level of a Grandmaster in martial arts at a little over twenty, looking at the entire Zhonghai, there is probably no second person. But, it's a pity... he is a remnant of the Dragon Mountain Xiao family." Derek Chen murmured, "Dragon Mountain Xiao family, the top military family dominating the eighteen provinces in the eastern part of Daxia. The founding hero of the Daxia founding war! Five years ago, it was annihilated in one night, and thousands of descendants were killed. What exactly happened?" Colin Chen shook his head, "Such a big matter, how could I know? But I do know that five years ago, the entire Xiao family in Zhonghai was exterminated by a joint force overnight, with mountains of corpses. Now, The King of Jiang Bei Eric Ye, was once a disciple of the Xiao family in Zhonghai. It seems he was also involved... Now, after returning, Ben Xiao's first action was to kill Douglas Ye, directly provoking The King of Jiang Bei! Jiang Bei is about to change!" After saying this, Colin Chen seemed to think of something, and suddenly stood up, his eyes shining, "Since our Chen family had that incident five years ago, we have been on a downhill path. In these five years, Chen family's assets have shrunk by more than ninety percent. Now, although outsiders call me the richest man with a single word, secretly they mock me. Otherwise, how could a mere Douglas Ye push our Chen family to this point." "But now, the opportunity has come. As long as our Chen family befriends Ben Xiao, we have a chance to rise." Derek Chen was also excited, "Father, do you mean, at all costs, befriend Ben Xiao?" Colin Chen said, "Although the Xiao family has many enemies, this is the only chance for our Chen family. We must take the risk this time!" ... No. 1 Wenchang Road. Today, Pearl Mu did not go to the company. After leaving Tower, she went directly home and talked to Angus Mu about Ben Xiao's matter. "Ben Xiao is a lunatic! He actually killed Douglas Ye! This is the highly respected disciple of The King of Jiang Bei. Next, the furious wrath of The King of Jiang Bei is about to erupt, and even my Rainbow Security Group will be implicated." "Ben Xiao is too impulsive! He thinks he can act recklessly just because he can fight? This society is no longer the era of brawling, it's about wealth, power, and status!" Although Pearl Mu was shocked by Ben Xiao's skill, she did not know that Ben Xiao was a Grandmaster in martial arts, let alone what being a Grandmaster meant... Angus Mu, on the other hand, was not in a hurry but smiled, "You have so little confidence in your husband?" Pearl Mu growled, "Dad, that's The King of Jiang Bei Eric Ye. He is a powerful figure in the northern six districts of Zhonghai. Who dares to oppose him?" "It's annoying that he doesn't answer my calls. Dad, call him and make him leave immediately! Leave Zhonghai and never come back." Angus Mu, instead of making a call, chuckled, "Do you have so little confidence in Ben Xiao?" "Father, I'm serious about communicating with you. Can you be serious?" Angus Mu was indifferent, "Didn't you say that Douglas Ye mentioned before he died that Ben Xiao is a survivor of the Dragon Mountain Xiao family? Do you know what Dragon Mountain Xiao family means?" Pearl Mu's eyes turned, "What does it mean?" Douglas Ye had a strange conversation with Ben Xiao before he died, but Pearl Mu was too shocked at the time and didn't pay much attention to it. Angus Mu explained, "Forty years ago, the founding of Daxia was decided in the chaos of the eighteen provinces in the east, including the three major military families. The Dragon Mountain Xiao family was one of them." Pearl Mu finally realized what was going on and took a cold breath, "Is Ben Xiao a descendant of the Dragon Mountain Xiao family?" Angus Mu nodded heavily, "Ben Xiao's grandfather, Frank Xiao, raised local armed forces to resist foreign enemies and stabilize one side. He was recognized as a founding hero and a pillar of the eastern sky. Ben Xiao also served in the military at a young age, ranking as a young marshal. But five years ago, the Xiao family's army, led by the Dragon Mountain Xiao family, had a battle outside the eastern border. The Xiao family was defeated and held accountable. Since then, the Xiao family has declined. But fortunately, after some time, the mysterious destruction of the entire Dragon Mountain Xiao family happened." "In one night, it turned into a river of blood, with mountains of corpses. Only a few people survived among the entire Xiao family. Ben Xiao is one of them." Pearl Mu listened in horror, "The mighty Dragon Mountain Xiao family, one of the top military families in the eastern part of Daxia, how could it be wiped out in one night?" Angus Mu sighed, showing deep sympathy in his eyes, "What exactly happened in this matter, I don't know. I only know that this incident seems to be closely related to the Xiao family in Zhonghai. After all, Zhonghai is the ancestral home of the Xiao family, the place of origin. Frank Xiao was born here, started his career in Zhonghai, and finally achieved extraordinary feats!" Pearl Mu's mind was greatly shaken, and the figure of Ben Xiao suddenly appeared in her mind. Suddenly, she felt that Ben Xiao was very pitiful... After a long time, Pearl Mu recovered from her thoughts and gritted her teeth, "What happened to Ben Xiao after that? How did he cultivate such martial arts?" Angus Mu sighed, his eyes showing deep sympathy, "After the destruction of the Dragon Mountain Xiao family, he stayed in Kunlun for five years. Five days ago, following the orders of his master, he came south to Zhonghai and married you." Pearl Mu sighed deeply, feeling regretful, "His birth is indeed noble, a generation's young marshal, respected by many. However, the Dragon Mountain Xiao Clan has ultimately perished. Even though he possesses extraordinary martial skills, it cannot change the overall situation." Angus Mu reached out and patted Pearl Mu's head, "Now, you finally realize that he is an exceptional person? Back then, I refused Young Master Lei and married you to Ben. Isn't that a good match for you?" Pearl Mu gritted her teeth, "Five days into marriage, he cheated on me five times. You're telling me it's not unfair?" Thinking about it, she couldn't contain her frustration. Angus Mu smiled wryly, "My silly daughter, even he is not satisfied with this arranged marriage. However, he can't refuse his master's will. By doing this, he wants to create internal conflicts in the marriage, making you take the initiative to ask for a divorce. Understand?" "I guarantee he has nothing with Lily Lu and the others." Pearl Mu still shook her head, "Alone together, sharing the same room, and she's a pop queen, the dream lover of countless men. How could nothing happen?" With all attempts to persuade her failing, Angus Mu said sternly, "Alright, don't worry about the conflict between Ben Xiao and Eric Ye. Be prepared to fulfill the bet. Remember to carry out the agreement. Go actively pursue Ben Xiao, find a way to make him fall in love with you." Pearl Mu replied, "Dad, this is our own bet. Why are you taking it so seriously?" Angus Mu handed her a delicate bouquet of blue enchanting flowers, "Go, express your love to Ben Xiao with these." Pearl Mu stared in disbelief at her father. "Are you asking me to actively give flowers and confess my love to Ben Xiao?!!" This was like an international joke. Pearl Mu was one of the three goddesses of Zhonghai, pursued by countless wealthy young men. When did she ever take the initiative to pursue someone? Angus Mu laughed, "As a person, you must be true to your word! Do you want to go back on your promise?" Angus Mu knew that his daughter was strong-willed but didn't easily yield to persuasion. Pearl Mu, feeling angry and itchy, finally took the rose bouquet, "You're ruthless! I'll give him flowers right now?! I'll actively pursue Ben Xiao now. Is that fine?" Leaving behind those words, Pearl Mu walked away indignantly, stepping in high heels and holding the rose bouquet. Her face was flushed. Giving flowers and confessing her love to Ben Xiao actively? It was embarrassing. In her entire life, Pearl Mu had never done such a thing. However, her beautiful eyes were determined, as if she had made a certain decision...
