"Nobody move, let me have some fun with him first." The burly, buzz-cut, gold-trimmed assassin with cloud patterns waved his hand to the sides.

The other assassins stepped back a few paces but still kept Xiao Tian and Zhong Ling surrounded.

Everyone wore a playful expression, watching Xiao Tian and Zhong Ling in the center as if they were about to enjoy a show.

"Your Highness, please be careful. He is likely the deputy leader of the Bloodcloud Pavilion, Skull-Crusher Huang Gang!" Zhong Ling's face turned slightly pale, a bit nervous, as she warned Xiao Tian.

"That title sounds quite intimidating." Xiao Tian crossed his arms, standing still, his gaze wandering around as he listened intently.

He was listening to the breathing sounds, confirming the distribution of personnel throughout the Bloodcloud Pavilion Headquarters.

To prevent anyone from escaping and exposing information when the fight started.

"It seems the prince of the Great Yan Dynasty is bolder than I imagined, not even putting me in his eyes." Huang Gang chuckled as he watched Xiao Tian looking around.

He turned his head and shouted towards Yun Zunlai, who stood with his hands behind his back at the entrance of the Bloodcloud Pavilion, "Master, can I play a bit rough? Deduct the healing costs from my bounty."

"Can't do anything about you. If you really want to play, be careful not to kill him." Yun Zunlai shook his head, seeing Huang Gang's old habits flaring up again.

With Yun Zunlai's approval, Huang Gang grinned with satisfaction and leisurely walked up to Xiao Tian.

"Quite a handsome face, slender arms, tender skin, fair and clean. Looks like the Great Yan Empress fancies this pretty boy type." Huang Gang looked down at Xiao Tian, teasingly stroking his chin.

"Hey, do you think if I punch him, this pretty boy will cry?"

Huang Gang's words stirred the crowd, causing them to burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, I'm more curious if he'll wet his pants than cry."

"I'm worried that Master Huang might kill him with one punch, making it hard to report back to the master."

Amidst the surrounding mockery, Xiao Tian calmly looked at Huang Gang and pointed to his forehead.

"Hit here."

Xiao Tian's words immediately silenced the surroundings, and even Huang Gang was momentarily stunned.

Did this prince of the Great Yan Dynasty not understand his situation?

Provoking on purpose?

"Afraid?" Xiao Tian's lips curled up when Huang Gang didn't move for a while, "Coward."

"Screw you!" Huang Gang's forehead veins bulged as he roared and swung a punch at Xiao Tian's forehead.

He was naturally a hot-tempered person, always ready to smash someone's head.

Otherwise, why would he have the title of Skull-Crusher?

"Bastard!" Yun Zunlai shouted angrily, feeling regretful inside.

He shouldn't have agreed to let this brute Huang Gang act recklessly. Xiao Tian might still be of great use; he wanted to interrogate him for information.

He also wanted to know if the spiritual artifact that broke their Bloodcloud Pavilion's array formation had any connection to the Great Yan Dynasty's secrets.

Now, with Huang Gang possibly killing Xiao Tian, there would be no answers.

Boom!!

A massive collision sound echoed, with the impact's force radiating from between Huang Gang and Xiao Tian, shaking the surroundings.

The commotion in the area lingered for a long time.

The assassins surrounding them had their expressions undergo a complete 180-degree change, their eyes nearly popping out.

The flirtatious female assassin leaning against the Bloodcloud Pavilion also stood up straight in disbelief.

"This..." In shock, she quickly looked towards the master beside her.

Yun Zunlai's reaction wasn't much better, equally stunned by the scene before him.

Huang Gang's punch didn't smash Xiao Tian's head, nor did it even harm him.

He still maintained his punching posture, but the punch was effortlessly blocked by a single finger.

Xiao Tian, who was merely a commoner in the intelligence reports, a prince kept by the Great Yan Empress in the palace.

A single finger blocked Huang Gang's furious strike?

"Didn't you eat?" Xiao Tian looked at Huang Gang seriously, "Can you use a bit more strength?"

Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Huang Gang snapped out of his daze, his face turning red as if he had suffered a great humiliation.

"Die!!!" Huang Gang, overwhelmed by anger, gathered spiritual qi again, his fist now glowing with a brilliant golden hue.

Bang!

The golden-glowing punch, fueled by Huang Gang's rage, struck out again, compressing the air and making a cracking sound.

Boom!!!

Like a golden meteor, the punch once again aimed at Xiao Tian's head, just inches away.

The powerful strike collided fiercely with Xiao Tian's finger again.

The dull collision sound and the collapsing golden spiritual qi's impact made the surrounding assassins' faces change dramatically, forcing them to gather spiritual qi to withstand the aftershock.

Zhong Ling, standing nearby, quickly drew her sword, stabbing it into the ground, gripping the hilt tightly to avoid being blown away.

She was immensely grateful for the Mountain Guardian Talisman, which spared her from harm.

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Xiao Tian shook his finger, disappointedly scolding Huang Gang, "What are you doing? I told you to use strength!!"

"Ahhh!" Huang Gang, provoked by Xiao Tian's disdainful gaze, flew into a rage, repeatedly pounding his fists forward.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Huang Gang, pushing himself to the limit, his fists like phantoms, precisely landed on Xiao Tian's finger.

Those in the know understood that Huang Gang was trying to smash Xiao Tian's head.

Those unaware might think the deputy leader of the Bloodcloud Pavilion was giving Xiao Tian's finger a full-body massage.

Pfft!

The violent impact rebounded on Huang Gang's arms, causing his muscles to split open, blood splattering.

Crack.

The sound of bones cracking began to echo, and with continuous punching, Huang Gang clearly couldn't endure anymore.

Bang!

The final punch's recoil sent Huang Gang flying backward, crashing hard onto the ground.

His arms were twisted, unrecognizable from their original form.

Moreover, the recoil's force traveled through his arms, affecting his entire body.

At this moment, Huang Gang resembled a bloodied figure, unable to stand up.

As for the prince of the Great Yan Dynasty, Xiao Tian?

He still stood there, holding up a single finger, coldly looking at Huang Gang on the ground.

"Your way of playing is quite novel, quite special, almost beating yourself to death." Xiao Tian retracted his finger, critiquing the blood-soaked Huang Gang.

Huang Gang trembled all over, wanting to speak but unable to utter a word.

He was a brute, just now attacking Xiao Tian with sheer brute force.

Only now did he calm down, realizing what kind of monster he was dealing with.

Huang Gang's eyes widened, feeling incredibly wronged, tears streaming down his face.

In his heart, there was only one thought: "Those idiots in the intelligence department, are they all brain-dead? What kind of crap intelligence did you gather?"

Huang Gang's actions left Xiao Tian bewildered.

How did he end up crying while fighting?
