Damn it! So arrogant!
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, everyone's expressions immediately changed.
No matter what, they had some reputation in Xiyin City and were all figures with a certain level of strength.
Now, to be treated like mere grunts, it truly infuriated them.
"Everyone, since Po Xiao has said this, it wouldn't be right if you didn't show some of your strength!"
"Why don't we join forces and take down Po Xiao together!"
Seeing the crowd's indignation, Chu Yuanji inwardly smiled and quickly spoke.
As his words fell, the surrounding crowd nodded. They wanted to teach Po Xiao a harsh lesson, so they drew their weapons and charged forward.
"Leave these grunts to you."
Ye Cangtian's voice came, and then he walked towards Chu Yuanji and Kong Yi with his hands behind his back.
Lan Yue, standing beside him, immediately understood and guarded Ye Cangtian, blocking the crowd's attacks.
For Lan Yue, these matters were not difficult. After all, these people were only at the Profound level, and their strength was vastly different from her Quasi-Heavenly level.
Therefore, even facing a siege, Lan Yue dealt with them easily, without even disrupting Ye Cangtian's forward momentum.
"This..."
Seeing that Lan Yue alone prevented them from advancing, and with some people constantly being sent flying, Chu Yuanji and Kong Yi finally noticed Lan Yue, and at the same time, their hearts were no longer calm.
Just one Lan Yue, her strength was already so terrifying, how powerful must Po Xiao be?
Thinking of this, the two exchanged a glance, and simultaneously uttered a word of killing. Then, they both drew their weapons and charged.
They knew they had no other choice. After all, their families were still in Xiyin City. You can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple!
Therefore, even though their opponent was beyond imagination, they could only brace themselves and resist.
"Heh heh, your opponent is me, don't get the wrong target!"
Just as Chu Yuanji and Kong Yi were about to make a move against Lan Yue, a playful voice was heard. Immediately after, Po Xiao, like a ghost, appeared in front of the two.
Seeing this, the expressions of the two changed. They had intended to join forces with the crowd to first take down Lan Yue, thereby using her to threaten Po Xiao.
But Po Xiao had already killed his way over, clearly not giving them a chance. In this case, the two could only redirect their attacks towards Po Xiao.
*Crack! Crack!*
Just as their attacks were about to land on Po Xiao, Po Xiao moved. He dodged the attacks with a flash, and then his large hands grabbed both of their wrists.
With a slight squeeze, both of their wrists instantly felt intense pain, and the weapons in their hands dropped.
At this moment, Po Xiao's voice rang out, "If you don't want your arms crippled, then kneel!"
"Who the hell are you telling to kneel!"
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Being grabbed by the wrists by Ye Cangtian, no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free. This had already made Kong Yi extremely frustrated.
But now, the opponent actually wanted him to kneel and beg for mercy, which had exceeded his limit of tolerance.
He was the head of the Kong family, and his status was even higher than Chu Yuanji beside him, enough to be on par with Chu Changying.
If he were to kneel and beg for mercy here, where would he put his face in the future?
For this reason, Kong Yi's other hand quickly drew a dagger and stabbed directly at Ye Cangtian's chest.
*Hmph!*
Sensing Kong Yi's actions, Ye Cangtian let out a cold snort.
He easily dodged the opponent's attack, and then the strength in his hands suddenly increased, almost instantly hearing the crisp sound of bones shattering.
*Ah!*
Kong Yi also let out a scream of agony due to the intense pain, but he immediately shut his mouth, choosing to endure.
What ruthless means!
On the other side, Chu Yuanji, whose wrist was also grabbed by Ye Cangtian, saw Kong Yi's miserable state and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, muttering to himself.
He had originally been observing the situation. If there was an opportunity, he planned to cooperate with Kong Yi to attack Po Xiao.
But before he could make a move, Kong Yi had already suffered.
This instantly made him abandon his thoughts. Facing such a terrifying Po Xiao, it was better to be obedient.
Most importantly, he was still young and had a bright future ahead. He couldn't afford to be crippled by Po Xiao's hands.
"You still refuse to kneel?"
Ye Cangtian ignored Chu Yuanji's change and looked at Kong Yi. Since the opponent had made the first move, he would naturally deal with him first.
"I..."
Kong Yi gritted his teeth as he looked at Po Xiao, but no sound came from his mouth.
He naturally didn't want to kneel, but Po Xiao's methods were extremely ruthless. He was genuinely worried that he couldn't withstand it.
Seeing Kong Yi remain silent, Ye Cangtian let out a cold snort and said, "Very good, I hope you continue to maintain this tough attitude."
With that, Ye Cangtian directly used soul piercing. In an instant, Kong Yi was writhing and screaming in pain on the ground.
"I, I was wrong, spare me, I'll do whatever you say..."
In just one or two minutes, Kong Yi, having endured the torment, could no longer hold back and begged for mercy with screams.
"Hmph! Why suffer if you had done this earlier?"
"Scram to the side and kneel!"
Ye Cangtian withdrew his spiritual power. Kong Yi finally returned to normal. He glanced at Po Xiao with fear, and finally obediently walked to the side and knelt down.
"..."
Seeing this scene, Chu Yuanji's eyes widened.
Kong Yi was considered a tough guy, but why did he suddenly start screaming?
Chu Yuanji didn't know about spiritual attacks, so seeing such a scene, he felt a bit more apprehension and fear towards Po Xiao.
"It's your turn now, respected Fourth Young Master!"
Just then, Po Xiao's playful voice was heard.
Chu Yuanji turned his head and saw that Po Xiao's eyes carried a hint of an evil smile. His heart immediately turned cold.
The lesson learned from the previous incident was right in front of him. If he didn't comply, Kong Yi would definitely be his example.
Thinking this, Chu Yuanji finally gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground, saying in a deep voice, "Po Xiao, you win. This young master admits defeat!"
"Very good!"
Seeing Chu Yuanji kneel, Ye Cangtian's face showed a satisfied smile. Then, he took out two Spirit Sealing Pills from his Qiankun bag and threw them to Chu Yuanji and Kong Yi.
The two hesitated for a moment, but in the end, they could only swallow the Spirit Sealing Pills.
They could only hope now that their families would send people to rescue them.
On the other side, after seeing Chu Yuanji and Kong Yi kneel to the side within a few minutes, everyone present lost any thought of resistance.
They immediately dropped their weapons and gave up resisting.
After all, even Chu Yuanji and Kong Yi were no match for Po Xiao, and if they continued to fight, they would not be able to change the outcome.
Secondly, after subduing Chu Yuanji and Kong Yi, Po Xiao did not kill them, which gave them a glimmer of hope.
It seemed that what Po Xiao said earlier might have been true. The opponent was indeed willing to give them a chance.
"Very good, you have made a wise choice."
"Now please hand over your Qiankun bags and take the Spirit Sealing Pills. Anyone who does not cooperate will bear the consequences."
Seeing that everyone had put down their weapons, Ye Cangtian's smile became even more satisfied.
As he spoke, he winked at Lan Yue.
Lan Yue understood and walked forward.
After collecting everyone's Qiankun bags, she gave them a Spirit Sealing Pill and watched them swallow it before moving on to the next person.
For a time, in everyone's eyes, besides pain, there was only helplessness.
