Lin Bingxin''s face was full of self-reproach, "Xiao Yi, it''s all my fault..."


    Xiao Yi smiled and consoled, "It''s just a trivial matter. By the way, how did you end up here?"


    Lin Bingxin''s pretty face blushed, and she whispered, "I, I saw that the clothes here were pretty, and wanted to secretly buy one for you. Little did I know that before I even touched the dress, she used me of damaging it and demanded apensation of a hundred thousand taels of silver..."


    "Buying clothes for me?"


    Xiao Yi was startled and had not expected Lin Bingxin toe to the clothing store to buy clothes for him.


    Looking at the fresh red palm print on her face, Xiao Yi let out a light sigh, "Silly girl, does it hurt?"


    Lin Bingxin shook her head like a rattle-drum.


    Just then...


    The middle-aged woman sneered, "Hahaha, you dog couple, now there''s no chance for you to run away!"


    Whoosh!


    A gang of fierce and evil-looking men swarmed in from outside the door.@@novelbin@@


    There were at least twenty of them.


    Each one was holding a longsword or a dagger, their ferocious gaze fixated on Xiao Yi and Lin Bingxin: "Daring to stir up trouble in the territory of the ck Hawk Gang, are you tired of living, kid?"


    Among the twenty-odd ck Hawk Gang members...


    There was that man with the cocked head, his face red from the scald of a hot pot, maliciously pointing at Xiao Yi and shouting to the man with one eye beside him, "One-Eyed Brother, it''s this brat that beat us!"


    The cultivation of One-eyed Dragon was at the Seventh Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm.


    He was a steward of the ck Dragon Gang.


    Tasked with collecting protection money on Food Street, he had a fierce reputation, and people on Food Street would normally stay far away from him. His one eye nced over Xiao Yi, thennded on Lin Bingxin, as he gulped down saliva, his one eye zing with desire, "What a beautiful girl... Brothers, beat that brat to death for me, and bring that little beauty back for my enjoyment!"


    "Yes!"


    "Big Brother, after you''re tired of her, let your brothers have a taste too!"


    The One-eyed Dragonughed heartily, "No problem, when the timees, I will let you taste the vor of this beauty!"


    As the twenty or so ck Hawk Gang members crowded around, Xiao Yi sighed, "Isn''t it good to live peacefully? Why look for death!"


    His figure flickered suddenly.


    He left a trail of afterimages in ce as he weaved through the crowd of twenty people.


    When Xiao Yi returned to Lin Bingxin''s side...


    Only then did the twenty men let out a synchronized scream, clutching their bellies as they fell to the ground, curled up and shivering.


    Their dantians had all been destroyed by Xiao Yi, with no possibility of repair.


    Gurgle!


    The One-eyed Dragon, scared witless, dropped his longsword to the ground, his face filled with terror: "You, you''ve got trouble now, kid. The ck Hawk Gang is not something you can mess with..."


    "Still nning to call for backup?"


    Xiao Yi''s face turned cold as he said indifferently, "Go ahead, call them. Today, I shall act as an agent of heaven and exterminate your damned ck Hawk Gang."


    "Goodd, you''ve got guts. You just wait..." the One-eyed Dragon was about to leave.


    Xiao Yi flicked his fingers.


    Puff!


    A burst of vital energy pierced through his abdomen,pletely shattering his dantian as he said coldly, "Crawl out of here!"


    The One-eyed Dragon, a formidable practitioner at the Seventh Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm, had his cultivation ruined in the blink of an eye.


    He was so terrified that he fled, tumbling and scrambling.


    The middle-aged woman was even more frightened, kneeling on the ground and sobbing: "Please spare my life, young hero, please..."


    "You should be grateful I don''t like hitting women!" Xiao Yi said coldly.


    "Phew..."


    The middle-aged woman had just breathed a sigh of relief, only to be smacked away with a crisp p, crashing into the wall with a thud. Lin Bingxin''s angry voice followed, "Xiao Yi does not hit women, but that doesn''t mean I don''t! How dare you try to extort me? And you even thought about selling me to a brothel? I''ll p you to death..."


    p! p! p!


    Lin Bingxin''s palm, like a shadow, struck the middle-aged woman''s face over and over, eventually knocking her unconscious.


    Her face was swollen like a pig''s head.


    Looking at the unresponsive middle-aged woman, Lin Bingxin then shook off her hand, "This woman''s face is so thick, it made my hand hurt from pping..."


    Xiao Yi nced at the middle-aged woman who was nearly unrecognizable and then at Lin Bingxin''s slightly reddened palm, the corner of his eyes twitching, "A woman in rage is indeed terrifying..."


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!


    Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside, and the onlookers at the door had already dispersed on their own.


    A crowd of more than a hundred people surged into the Clean Clothes Tower.


    Looking at the twenty or so people lying on the ground wailing, their Dantians destroyed, three powerful individuals walked out from the crowd.


    From left to right, a trio of varying heights and builds.


    These three were the leaders of the ck Hawk Gang—ck Falcon, ck Dog, and ck Tiger. Both ck Dog and ck Tiger were at the Golden Elixir Peak, while ck Falcon was at the First Layer of the Tao Tribtion Realm. Having the capability to establish the ck Hawk Gang in the imperial capital and collect protection money, they did indeed have some strength.


    Cyclops, following at ck Shadow''s side with a pale face, pointed at Xiao Yi, "Boss, it''s this little bastard who injured me and the brothers..."


    "Kid, give me your name!"

    ck Tiger, with a machete slung over his shoulder, sneered, "I, ck Tiger, don''t kill the nameless!"


    ck Dog licked his lips, "Kill the men, chop them up to feed the dogs. Take the women back for the brothers to enjoy!"


    No sooner had he finished speaking.


    Both men made their move.


    Cries of shock came from the crowd, "All three leaders of the ck Hawk Gang are here? That man and woman are definitely dead!"


    "How pitiful, they offended the ck Hawk Gang and didn''t even run!"


    "That man probably wanted to show off, not expecting to hit rock bottom..."


    Just when everyone was waiting to see Xiao Yi chopped to death by the chaotic des, ck Dog and ck Tiger suddenly halted in their tracks, as Xiao Yi stepped on their heads, one foot each, smashing them brutally into the ground. Their heads burst open, brains sttering, as Xiao Yi spun with a kick, hitting the arms ck Falcon used to block in front of his chest.


    Crack!


    Bones shattered, and ck Falcon screamed as he fell to the ground.


    Hiss!


    The onlookers, who had just been posturing and making bold derations, fell silent.


    The crowd watched in disbelief at the scene before them.


    Two at the Golden Elixir Peak and one at the First Layer of the Cmity Realm, all brought down to two dead and one injured in just an instant?


    The members of the ck Hawk Gang looked at each other, at a loss.


    St!


    ck Falcon spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Xiao Yi with horror.


    "What''s going on?"


    "How dare you cause trouble in the imperial capital, do you not want to live?"


    A voice of authority sounded from the outside.


    A squad of city guards in battle armor walked in, looking at the wailing members of the ck Hawk Gang on the floor, and the corpses of ck Dog and ck Tiger. The city guards raised their weapons in unison, eyeing Xiao Yi fiercely.


    "Hahaha, you little bastard, you''re done for!"


    Upon seeing the city guards, ck Falcon appeared as though he had found a life-saving straw, limping over, he shouted, "General, I am ck Falcon of the ck Hawk Gang. I''ve met you before, brought by Li. General, this little bastard killed my two brothers and hurt so many people, you must bring him to justice!"


    Having established the ck Hawk Gang in the imperial capital to collect protection money, ck Falcon naturally had powerful backing.


    The general of the city guard before him was good friends with his backer.


    ck Falcon looked smugly at Xiao Yi, "You little bastard, you''re done for!"


    The city guard general said coldly, "Take him down!"


    ck Falconughed heartily, "Kid, you think you''re strong? Go ahead and resist, attacking city guards is a capital offense... hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Not me, him, get him..."


    ck Falcon looked dumbfounded as he was bound by the city guards, and he shouted hysterically, "General Ye, you got the wrong one... I''m with Li, you''re supposed to get him..."


    "I''m seizing your ass, you''re trying to get me killed too?"


    This General Ye was none other than Ye Chao.


    Upon entering, he recognized Xiao Yi at once; Yang Ling had said that Xiao Yi was a guest of Emperor Qian. He looked coldly at ck Falcon, "I had long heard that your ck Hawk Gang was acting atrociously,wlessly. Seeing it today, it is indeed true. To dare to strike against His Majesty''s guest is simply courting death. Guards, seize everyone from the ck Hawk Gang!"


    ck Falcon stood dumbfounded.


    A guest of Emperor Qian?


    Ye Chao approached Xiao Yi, and with a cupped fist salutation, said, "My sincerest apologies for startling you, sir!"


    "It''s alright," Xiao Yi waved his hand, saying, "But it would be best to purge such a malignant tumor."


    Ye Chao replied earnestly, "Rest assured, I will immediately eradicate this tumor..."


    Hearing this, ck Falcon''s face was the picture of despair as he slumped down like mud, "It''s over, it''spletely over for me..."
