Xu Taiping called Liu Ming and Lin Qiuyi over to his side and said something in a low voice.

Liu Ming nodded and turned around to leave.

Lin Qiuyi followed beside Xu Taiping, walking forward.

Downstairs, the clubhouse staff all left after receiving the boss's message.

Upstairs, Xu Taiping walked to the door of his room and knocked. The door quickly opened.

Behind the door stood a person Xu Taiping could not be considered familiar with, but he was not a stranger to either, Xiang Lianhu.

"Mr Xu!" When Xiang Liehu saw Xu Taiping, he revealed an excited expression. This expression was so innocent that it was comparable to a normal old drama.

"En!" Xu Taiping nodded his head, greeting Xiang Liehu.

"Mr Xu, please come in." Xiang Lie said as he stepped aside.

Xu Taiping walked forward and entered the room.

The room was very large, over a hundred square meters. There was a sofa, a family cinema, and a billiard table.

This was a good place for friends to gather. It could normally accommodate a dozen or so people, and at this moment, there were roughly a dozen people in this room.

Xu Taiping gave them a quick glance and realized that all of them were men with yellow skin and black hair. They were probably from the Xiang Family.

These Xiang Family members' acting skills were not as good as Xiang Lianghu's. They all looked rather nervous as their eyes drifted about, as if they did not dare to look directly at Xu Taiping. Some of them even intentionally turned their heads away.

Even if Xu Taiping didn't know that the Xiang Family had already teamed up with those people with the highest lives, just their performance alone was enough to make Xu Taiping wary.

Too unprofessional!

Xu Taiping sighed, walked over to the sofa and sat down.

Lin Qiuyi stood behind Xu Taiping, sword in hand, his eyes staring coldly in front of him.

Xiang Liehu sat down across from Xu Taiping.

"Mr Xu, thank you for taking the time to see us despite being so busy!" Xiang Lie said with a sincere smile on his face.

"My time is limited. If you have anything to say, just say it." Xu Taiping looked at his watch and said lightly.

"I've come this time mainly to apologize to you in front of you. I've done all those wrong things for Xiang Chunqiu!" As Xiang Lie spoke, he stood up and walked over to a spot about a meter in front of Xu Taiping. He cupped his fists together before kneeling down on the ground.

According to Xiang Liehu's plan, he would kneel down in front of Xu Taiping. No matter what, Xu Taiping would have to pretend to give him a hand. That way, he could seize the opportunity to launch an attack.

A sneak attack and a frontal assault were two completely different matters. Without any preparation, the sneak attack of a low combat strength person was enough to severely injure someone whose battle prowess was higher than his. Once Xu Taiping was severely injured, the highest life form, which was already hidden in a few rooms in the house, would appear and join the Xiang Family members in killing Xu Taiping with a powerful force before he could recover!

In order to be able to kill Xu Taiping, the Xiang Family had to inflict irreparable damage on him within a very short period of time, amplifying the damage infinitely, until it was sufficient enough to kill Xu Taiping.

Xiang Lianghu's knees got increasingly bent, getting closer to the ground.

According to Xiang Liehu's calculations, Xu Taiping would have had to come and help him out no matter what. In the end, Xu Taiping just sat there, looking at him without moving, with no intention of helping him.

Bang!

In the end, Xiang Lie's knees fell to the ground.

He, the master of the Xiang Family, was kneeling in front of Xu Taiping just like that.

Although he was kneeling on one knee, it was almost the same as kneeling on both knees.

Xiang Lie slightly lowered his head, his expression extremely unsightly. He had not expected that Xu Taiping would actually make him kneel.

In front of Xiang Liehu, the corners of Xu Taiping's lips curled up slightly as he said, "Patriarch Xiang, I can't accept the way you've bowed to me!"

"You can't take it, so come and help me!" However, his mouth was very calm as he said, "You can bear it. Mr Xu, you are the president of the Hua Xia Martial Arts Association, and the strongest person in China today. My Xiang Family has offended you many times. As the head of the Xiang Family, I, Xiang Lianghu, kneel down and kowtow to you."

"Bye then." Xu Taiping said.

"Huh?" Xiang Lie was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't you say to kneel and bow? You can only kneel now, and not bow, right?" Xu Taiping asked.

"This …" Xiang Lie instantly felt awkward. He had only said this in passing, how could he have expected Xu Taiping to take it so seriously?

Now that Xu Taiping wanted him to bow, should he or should he not?

With so many family members watching him, he would no longer have any face to bow to.

Not kowtowing? If he allowed Xu Taiping to fly into a rage and cause a battle to break out, he would have lost the will to make a surprise attack. If he wanted to face off against an expert with a hundred thousand battle prowess head-on, Xiang Liehu was not without confidence, but the Xiang Family would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and he might even die as a result. After all, he was the person closest to Xu Taiping.

The reason why Xu Taiping was like this, Xiang Liehu guessed, was definitely to get revenge for his past actions. Xiang Lianhu believed that as long as Xu Taiping was humble enough, then perhaps … Xu Taiping would lower his body and relax his guard.

After pondering for a few seconds, Xiang Lianhu bowed towards Xu Taiping.

"Think of it as worshipping someone to death." Xiang Lie thought.

"Dad …" Xiang Ba, who was at the side, found it a little hard to look straight, and called out in a low voice.

Xiang Lie glared at Xiang Ba, thinking, "Son, those who become great are not to be trifled with. In order to allow the Xiang Family to ascend to the top, it's nothing to pay respects to anyone. You'd better take good care of your father. When the clan writes down the family tree in the future, you'd better write down this story of your father!"

As he thought this, Xiang Liehu kowtowed towards Xu Taiping twice.

There were a total of three rounds. According to Xiang Lie, this was called sending you on your way.

"Patriarch Xiang, you're really being too courteous!" At this moment, Xu Taiping finally revealed a smile. He stood up and walked over to Xiang Lianhu, stretching out a hand as if to help him up.

Xiang Liehu was overjoyed.

This Xu Taiping was finally here to help him! He had to seize this chance!

Xiang Lie thought as he extended a hand to help support Xu Taiping's hand.

Xu Taiping grabbed Xiang Lianhu's hand and lifted him up.

As Xiang Lie stood up, all the strength in his body began to gather. He was going to wait until he was almost up before launching a fatal strike at Xu Taiping!

Just then, Xu Taiping's hands suddenly loosened.

Xiang Lie was stunned for a moment.

Was there anyone who could only support him by half?

"Xiang Lie, I heard that the strongest member of your Xiang Family is the tyrant, isn't that so?" Xu Taiping asked.

"It's like this." Xiang Lie nodded.

"Have you heard of Tyrant Fist?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Tyrant Fist?" Xiang Lie was stunned. He had never heard of any Tyrant Fist.

At that moment … Accompanied by a powerful force, a sonic boom resounded through the air as it shot towards Xiang Lie.

At this moment, Xiang Liehu was still standing up from the ground. This posture was extremely awkward and awkward, not suitable for him to exert his strength, and it was also not suitable for him to do anything. Adding this to the fact that Xiang Lianhu had not been on guard at all previously, when Xiang Lianhu heard the sound of breaking through the air and saw the fist flying towards him, he was simply unable to react in time.

Bang!

A loud sound echoed out.

Xiang Lie's body shot out like a cannonball, slamming heavily into a nearby wall and creating a huge hole in the wall. At the same time, Xiang Lie's body flew through the wall and into the room next door.

Xu Taiping maintained his stance and smiled, "This is the Tyrant Fist."

"Xu Taiping, what are you doing!?" Xiang Ba shouted excitedly.

Just as Xiang Ba finished his sentence, a sword light pierced through the air, heading straight for Xiang Ba.

This sword light was extremely strange, swift to the extreme, making it almost impossible for Xiang Ba to dodge.

Xiang Ba's body stiffened!

Tyrant body!

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out!

This ray of sword light smashed heavily onto Xiang Ba's chest, before coming to a stop.

Xiang Ba's terrifying body had completely blocked this sword attack!

At this moment, the owner of the sword flicked his wrist.

The sword had become a blade!

"A single strike!"

A cold voice suddenly rang out, and at the same time, this blade abruptly slashed downwards from Xiang Ba's chest!

A sizzling sound was heard.

A streak of blood appeared on Xiang Ba's body, extending from his chest all the way to his navel.

Xiang Ba's tough body had actually been sliced open by a huge blade.

Fresh blood gushed out from the blade.

Xiang Ba retreated a few steps, lowering his head to look at his wounds in shock.

Ordinary blades could not cut through his body. That blade was actually able to cut through his body, and it was even so deep. The power that was contained on that blade could simply be described as terrifying.

This was a picture of Xiang Lie being sent flying. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive. A knife wound that was about a centimeter deep had been carved out from Xiang Ba's body.

Both of them were heavily injured at almost the same time.

"What are you still standing there for?" "Attack! Kill them all!" Xiang Ba called out excitedly.

The Xiang Family members looked at each other.

"I will kill whoever works with Supreme Being!" Xu Taiping said coldly.

Previously, when Xiang Ba had not been injured and neither Xiang Lie nor Xiang Lie had been injured, their deterrence had been clearly displayed, as well as their combat abilities. Under Xiang Ba's and Xiang Lie's deterrence, it had not been a problem for the Xiang Family members to fight against Xu Taiping for a dozen rounds. But now, Xiang Lie and Xiang Ba had been injured.

At this moment, in the room where Xiang Lie had made a hole, a ferocious beast brought along its six subordinates as well as Xiang Lie, whose face was twisted strangely, out of the room.
