When Li Yun's group started their fight with the Golden Giant Ape, Ye Xiao already condensed enough spirit energy on the tip of his right hand's index finger and then he jumped at the head of the Golden Giant Ape that was running toward him. The tip of his index finger that was filled with destructive energy, slowly pierced down in the head of the Golden Giant Ape as if it was not a second rank monster's head but some tofu.

The Golden Giant Ape never expected such a attack coming from the the human in front him. When it realized the coming danger, it tried to dodge Ye Xiao's Sacred Finger Art but it was already very late. When Ye Xiao's finger directly pierced into the head of the Golden Giant Ape, it did not even get the chance to let out its last roar and it stopped breathing.

After killing this giant ape, Ye Xiao saw that Li Yun and his group was still fighting with the other Golden Giant Ape. He didn't plan to assist Li Yun in dealing with other Golden Giant Ape until the very last moment when Li Yun and his group fail to kill the ape.

Fortunately, nothing like this happened and Li Yun's group of five managed to kill the ape.

When everything was done, they harvested the beast core from the corpse of these two Golden Giant Ape. Ye Xiao kept one of the beast core while Li Yun kept the other beast core.

They once again looked at the corpse of these two magical beasts for the last time after all here, a fight between human and the magical beast took place. The battle between them was too intense and it would definitely attract other participants and maybe other magical beasts. And if this were to happen, it will become very dangerous for them after all they were too tired after fighting two rounds with pair of the Golden Giant Ape.

Just as they were about to leave, Ye Xiao felt something. He stopped and said in serious voice, "We have company."

Li Yun and his companions also stopped after hearing Ye Xiao. They silently looked here and there but found nothing.

But suddenly, there were noises started coming from the bushes, as a bunch of muscular young men came out from there. The leader looked very ugly with a deep scar on his face which started from his chin and ends near his eyes, resulting in an extremely horrifying sight.

Ye Xiao and Li Yun's group, all knew that this bunch of people didn't come in peace.

Li Yun took a step forward and asked, "How could we help You?"

The young man with scar looked him and laughed, "Haha, we are a bit tight lately. It would be nice if you guys would show us some respect, if you know what I mean."

Li Yun frowned and said, "We don't have much money with us. Here is 1000 gold coins. Now, can you please step aside and give us a path to leave."

He could see that this group of people, all had high cultivations. Weakest of them were at the Third Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm while the strong one goes up to the Sixth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. If they were to fight now, they will definitely suffer great losses. Maybe, none of them can get alive from here after all, all of them were tired after fighting with two magical beast for a very long time. They didn't have much energy left to start another fight.

That young man with scar become furious when he heard Li Yun. He said in rage, "Are you deaf or blind? Do we look like we are here for some gold coins? We are also participants here. Just leave the two magical beast core that you harvested here and yes, including what you previously had as well and get out of here before I change my mind."

Li Yun and his companions turned pale. They suddenly understood that this group of bad peoples were here for a very long time and they have already seen everything that happen here. They knew that Li Yun and his group didn't have much strength left. As for Ye Xiao, even though they saw him killing a rank two magical beast with their own eyes, they definitely didn't thought much of him after seeing his cultivation which was at the Third Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.

Li Yun tried to retrain his anger and said, "Good sir, you must be joking, right."

"Joking? Do I look like I am joking? I don't have much patience. If you don't what I ask, then don't blame me for happens next." The scared young man grabbed his sword and said.

He looked at the group of injured men in front of him and said, "It is not like I hate you guys, but if I decide to fight, none of you will be able to leave with your lives. Of course I will give you time to change your mind. Hurry up and decide."

Ye Xiao couldn't tolerate this any more. He had now enough of these nonsense. He became very annoyed after hearing the conversation between Li Yun and the young man with scar.

He sneered at the scared face young man, "Cut the bullshit out. If you want to fight, then let's fight."

"Brother Ye!"

"Brother Ye!"

Li Yun and his companions froze as they heard what Ye Xiao said. They didn't thought that Ye Xiao will say something like this at this moment. Although they knew that Ye Xiao was stronger as he killed a Golden Giant Ape on his own, but they didn't thought Ye Xiao was strong enough to deal with this bunch of people.

"Good good. If what you all want is a fight then let it be your way" That young man with scar on his face become very furious.

"Guys, let's show them what happens when a bunch of beggars dares to raise head against kings" He roared and with all of his companions, he dashed toward Ye Xiao and his group.

They all began to fight again.

Ye Xiao waved his hand in air and a sword appeared in his hand.

"High Rank Spirit Sword"

The scared face young man become astounded and suddenly laughed out loud. He thought that after dealing with them, all of their treasures will become his possessions.

Accumulating all of his spirit energy to maximum, Ye Xiao tilted his body, holding his sword in both of his hands, as he began to supply his accumulated spirit to the spirit sword in his hand.

That sword lit up little because of the spirit energy it suddenly gained. Ye Xiao also dashed forward and slashed at the scar faced young man.

That scar faced young man was surprised and a little bit unprepared but he didn't chose to dodge Ye Xiao's attack. He definitely did not expect that this group of tired and injured youngsters would be able to resist him at all. He also slashed with his sword and collided with Ye Xiao's sword.

"Clang"

Suddenly, sparks lit up as bright as fire from the collision of Ye Xiao's sword and the young man with the scar face's sword. Ye Xiao's spirit sword slightly shifted and slid pass the scar faced young man's sword.

"Didang!"

"Ting!"

With a burst of sparks, the young man with scar on his face's waist was scratched with a sword cut, a little bit of blood slowly leaked out from the shallow cut.

Everyone who witnessed this just could not believe their own eyes. A Third Stage of Qi Condensation Realm martial artist had wounded a martial artist at the Sixth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm with a single sword slash without being injured himself at all. It was just impossible in their eyes.

Even the scar faced young man himself did not believe this but the blood that was flowing out from his waste was real. After a moment, he suddenly felt pain from his waist.

"Ah!"

No one knew, Ye Xiao himself was actually a bit disappointed.

If this scar faced did not react as fast as he did, I definitely would have injured him badly, or if his cultivation was not as high as it was, his sword could not have been able to resist my sword attack and the sword mark would have been at least one inch deep according to its effect. His sword is also weaker then my sword.

"Looks like I can not underestimate the participants of this competition and I definitely could not underestimate a martial artist stronger than myself." Ye Xiao whispered to himself. Seeing his first attack fail to create a huge impact, Ye Xiao slashed again and delivered his second strike toward the scar face.

"I'll kill you." Seeing Ye Xiao was attacking him again, the young man with scar on his face roared at him and dashed toward him while slashing with his sword with his full strength.
