CHAPTER 958: CHAPTER 958: A VISITOR FROM THE PEI FAMILY

"Come on, Ye Xuan! Come on! Beat that lousy old man to death!"

Standing on the second-floor balcony of the villa, Murong Wanwan shouted loudly to cheer for Ye Xuan as he fought against the scruffy old man.

Although she didn’t know who this scruffy old man was or what he came here for, he was certainly not a good person. Otherwise, why would he be fighting with Brother Ye Xuan?

In little Wanwan’s mind, anyone who opposed Brother Ye Xuan was a bad person, and it was best for Brother Ye Xuan to beat them either to death or until they’re crippled! Teenage girls in their rebellious phase indeed have a penchant for violence...

Standing beside her, Lin Tong looked at the intense battle below and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. This man, no matter where he goes, always attracts formidable enemies!

Wherever he goes, there is bound to be danger! Ever since staying with him, she’s experienced more danger than ever before in her life, and she wonders if it’s fortunate or unfortunate.

However, it’s truly difficult to imagine how he managed to endure such a dangerous environment every day in the past. How did this strong man pull through?

Meanwhile, outside the villa estate,

a man with piercing eyes like an eagle watched the battle between Ye Xuan and the scruffy old man with intense interest, his heart surging like a tidal wave, unable to calm down!

He knew all too well the identity of the scruffy old man! He was a high-level martial artist who cultivated Ancient Martial Drunken Fist, known in the Yan Country martial arts world as the ’Alcohol Demon,’ with formidable strength, and few could be his match.

Back then, if it weren’t for his father’s strategy to lure the scruffy old man into an ambush with a dozen martial arts masters attacking, it wouldn’t have been easy to capture him alive.

But now, Ye Xuan, who appeared to be just over twenty, not only fought head-to-head with the scruffy old man but also seemed to suppress him in martial arts strength. It was simply unbelievable! Could it be that he started training in martial arts while still in the womb?

So powerful at such a young age, in ten or so years, who could possibly be his opponent?

"No, I must find a way to recruit him into the Pei Family. A prodigy like this, he’s either a friend or an enemy!"

The eagle-eyed man stared intently at Ye Xuan, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, muttering to himself.

At this moment, the battle in the arena had reached a fever pitch!

On the surface, the two seemed evenly matched, each using their signature moves viciously, as if no one could prevail over the other.

But upon closer observation, one would find that the scruffy old man was like a slippery eel, disengaging and retreating every time he clashed with Ye Xuan, giving no chance for prolonged combat! This hit-and-run tactic allowed him to dodge Ye Xuan’s fierce attacks each time, leaving Ye Xuan quite helpless.

"Old man, didn’t you say you wanted to taste the power of my moves? Why do you keep dodging and running? Are you just a turtle in hiding? No, a cowardly old fool!"

Seeing the opponent dodge his attack again, Ye Xuan chased after the scruffy old man while mocking him with his words.

This old man was too sly, refusing to confront him head-on, leaving him unable to fully use his strength!

Of course, Ye Xuan’s urgency to defeat the opponent was also because he couldn’t gauge the old man’s depth of strength, always feeling like the old man was holding back and not going all out.

A strong SS-level fighter isn’t easily defeated, even for Ye Xuan. He would have to exert one hundred percent of his effort to have a chance to win! But as the opponent continued to evade direct confrontation, Ye Xuan had no opportunity to secure a victory.

He’s draining my stamina! Ye Xuan’s eyes glinted as he guessed the opponent’s intention, realizing it was the only explanation for the scruffy old man’s behavior.

"Hmph! Why should I stand still and let a kid like you beat me to death?"

The scruffy old man huffed and puffed, dodging a punch from Ye Xuan with an odd footstep. "Kid, I find you quite a freak, being so skilled at such a young age? Young people these days have no respect for the elderly!"

Ye Xuan didn’t respond, silently delivering another powerful kick aimed at the opponent’s chest.

Bam!

The scruffy old man blocked with his arms in front of his chest, but was sent flying backward, rolling midair.

Near a large tree, the scruffy old man did a flip, planting his feet twice against the thick trunk, neutralizing the force and landing on the ground.

Catching his breath slightly, the scruffy old man appeared a bit grave. He hadn’t anticipated this kid’s strength to be so formidable! Even with his personal intervention in peak condition against Ye Xuan, he had gained no advantage.

Fear the young ones!

This saying is indeed true.

He realized that no matter how powerful he was, he could not compare with a young master like Ye Xuan, especially given his disadvantage in stamina due to his age! If it weren’t for Drunken Fist’s natural defense, he might have been defeated by now!

Thus, the only strategy now was to rely on Drunken Fist’s defensive edge to exhaust Ye Xuan’s stamina!

Only then could he unleash a decisive blow to defeat Ye Xuan.

"Old man, why do you act like you’ve seen a cat when you see me?"

"Come and fight me head-on, just running away doesn’t prove anything!"

"Perhaps you should rename your Drunken Fist to Running Fist, since all you do is run! Hahaha..."

Ye Xuan continued to mock and even laughed aloud, trying to provoke his opponent.

Faced with Ye Xuan’s verbal assault, the scruffy old man’s face remained calm, though he sighed inwardly!

It seems he indeed had grown old; when he was locked in the dungeon, he hadn’t felt it, but now, fighting against Ye Xuan, he felt somewhat overwhelmed.

He realized he was no longer the flamboyant Alcohol Demon of the past, but just a doddering old fool! Otherwise, how could he endure the opponent’s taunts without daring to confront him directly, forced instead to wear him out with his stamina?

If it were twenty years ago, he would likely have lost his patience and rushed up to pummel this brat! Would it be his turn to act so arrogantly!?

But even if he couldn’t win, he had to fight!

This was his pride as the Alcohol Demon, and he had to prove that Ancient Martial Drunken Fist should not be desecrated! More importantly, he must fulfill that unfinished wish!

Thus, regardless of the outcome, he had to give it everything, as the result was far from decided until the very last moment.

Clap, clap, clap, clap...

However, just as the scruffy old man gritted his teeth, preparing to fight Ye Xuan once more, a series of loud claps suddenly sounded.

Ye Xuan had long noticed someone watching nearby and turned to look upon hearing the noise.

He saw a middle-aged man with eagle-like eyes and a high nose, walking steadily with a warm smile on his face, approaching from the direction of the estate’s gate.

"Haha! Both of you truly have incredible skills, which sincerely impresses me! Especially this young fellow, possessing such remarkable abilities at such a young age—truly a hero among youth! I, Pei, commend you."

As he approached, his gaze remained fixed on Ye Xuan as he spoke loudly.
