“Smack!”

Xiao Qingdi’s body flew across the room and crashed onto the floor with a loud thud.

The guests were stunned.

“Could it be that even Young Master Xiao is no match for that kid?”

Xiao Qingdi sat on the floor, wiping his stinging cheek. The light reflected off the floor, revealing a clear imprint of a size 42 shoe on his face.

Rage!

Fury!

Xiao Qingdi’s hair stood on end as he roared at Ye Qiu, “You bastard! I’m going to skin you alive!”

“Compared to the renowned Champion Marquis, you’re nothing but a waste,” Ye Qiu retorted mercilessly.

“Ah—”

Xiao Qingdi let out a wild scream, charging at Ye Qiu like a runaway horse, throwing a straightforward punch.

“Good timing!” Ye Qiu kicked out with a thunderous force.

His target was still Xiao Qingdi’s face.

Xiao Qingdi was nearly driven mad with anger.

You don’t hit someone in the face.

This bastard deserves to die!

Xiao Qingdi immediately transformed his fist into a claw, sidestepping Ye Qiu’s kick, and lightning-fast, he grabbed Ye Qiu’s calf.

Ye Qiu instantly felt a sharp pain in his calf, as if his bone might break at any moment.

In this moment of danger, Ye Qiu didn’t hesitate. He swung his fist at Xiao Qingdi’s face.

Xiao Qingdi raised his hand to block.

At this moment, Ye Qiu’s other hand formed a fist and struck Xiao Qingdi’s cheek.

Bang!

A direct hit.

Xiao Qingdi forcefully flung Ye Qiu away and quickly retreated a few steps, wiping his nose to find his hand covered in blood.

Only then did he realize he had been tricked.

Ye Qiu’s initial kick was meant to make him grab Ye Qiu’s calf, followed by a punch that forced Xiao Qingdi to block with his other hand.

This way, both of Xiao Qingdi’s hands were occupied.

When Ye Qiu threw another punch, Xiao Qingdi had no hands left to block.

Despicable scoundrel!

Xiao Qingdi cursed inwardly, his eyes burning with fury.

“I called you a waste, and you didn’t believe me. Do you believe it now?”

Ye Qiu spoke with a smile, but he was also deeply shocked.

When Xiao Qingdi grabbed his calf, although he didn’t break the bone, as a doctor, Ye Qiu could clearly feel a crack in his calf bone.

If he hadn’t counterattacked in time, his leg might have been crippled.

That was close.

No wonder he’s the Champion Marquis’s brother, he’s formidable!

Xiao Qingdi had lost all his previous composure. With a large shoe print on his left cheek and blood on his nostrils, this was the first time in his life he had been so humiliated.

He had fought before and been injured, but never had he been stepped on the face and had his nose broken.

Xiao Qingdi valued his handsome face the most. He often said, “My head can be broken, blood can flow, but my face must remain unscathed.”

But now, he was nearly disfigured.

And it happened in front of so many people, making him look utterly pathetic.

It was an utter disgrace.

Rage!

Unbearable rage!

But this time, Xiao Qingdi didn’t shout or scream. Instead, he became eerily calm, like a wounded beast, his pupils glowing red, exuding a massive killing intent.

Perhaps influenced by Xiao Qingdi’s killing intent, Ye Qiu felt the warm current in his meridians flowing faster and faster, his strength gradually increasing.

He even felt an uncontrollable urge to strike.

Finally, he extended his hand and beckoned to Xiao Qingdi.

Boom!

Xiao Qingdi exploded with speed several times faster than before, like a bolt of lightning.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Qiu also moved, charging forward without hesitation.

When two warriors meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins.

At this moment, whoever hesitates will lose.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two abandoned all fighting techniques, facing each other head-on, exchanging punch after punch.

This time, Xiao Qingdi held nothing back, concentrating all his strength in his fists. He thought he would quickly defeat Ye Qiu, but after exchanging five punches, he found that Ye Qiu hadn’t taken a single step back.

He wasn’t even injured.

You have to understand, the power in his fists now could easily cripple a top-three expert on the Tiger Rankings, yet Ye Qiu was unscathed.

Is this bastard made of steel?

Xiao Qingdi felt a chill in his heart.

Similarly, Ye Qiu was filled with astonishment.

He had comprehended innate energy, opened the Ren and Du meridians, and cultivated the first stage of the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique, giving his arms the strength of thousands of pounds. He thought Xiao Qingdi wouldn’t withstand even one punch, but they had already exchanged five punches.

“If Xiao Qingdi is this strong, how terrifying must the Champion Marquis be? Can I surpass him in this lifetime?”

With this thought, Ye Qiu’s body surged with boundless fighting spirit.

He quickly retracted his fist and launched another punch.

Step, step, step!

Xiao Qingdi retreated five or six steps before stabilizing himself.

“Come again!”

Xiao Qingdi roared in anger, charging forward with clenched fists.

Bang!

Their fists collided fiercely.

They separated upon impact.

Xiao Qingdi was sent flying, crashing to the ground, quickly getting up to find his right elbow joint protruding.

A fracture!

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Qiu charged forward, not giving Xiao Qingdi a chance to catch his breath, launching a rapid barrage of punches.

Xiao Qingdi was forced into a defensive position.

The two were locked in a fierce battle.

Their movements were so fast that the onlookers could only see a blur, unable to track their actions.

Five minutes later.

The two finally separated.

Blood continuously flowed from the corner of Ye Qiu’s mouth, indicating he was seriously injured.

As for Xiao Qingdi, he was even more disheveled than before, with half of his face swollen and blood trickling from his mouth.

“The Champion Marquis’s brother, is that all?” Ye Qiu mocked.

Xiao Qingdi snorted coldly, using his left hand to twist his right elbow joint back into place with a “crack.”

Then, with eyes like sharp blades, he stared at Ye Qiu and said:

“You’re the first person to hit my face!”

“And the first to make me look so pathetic!”

“But you’re just a small doctor. What gives you the right to challenge me? What gives you the right!”

“Now, I’ll show you my true strength!”

“Kill!”

Xiao Qingdi roared and charged forward.

Ye Qiu concentrated all his strength in his right fist, activating the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique. Instantly, his fist was enveloped in a faint golden light.

He swung his fist.

Boom—

Just as Xiao Qingdi charged forward, his body was sent flying like a broken kite, crashing at the entrance of the banquet hall. He struggled several times but couldn’t get up.

Ye Qiu stood his ground, his face full of disdain. “True strength? Is that it? Trash!”
