In the blink of an eye, Zhou Botong had already attacked and reached Xiaoyao Hou.
His fists and palms, left and right, carried the force of thunder.
Without a second thought, the carefree Marquis immediately took action to defend himself.
In their panic and confusion, they were forced to retreat steadily by Zhou Botong.
"What kind of martial art is this? It can use a palm technique in one hand and a fist technique in the other?"
Marquis Xiaoyao was greatly alarmed.
"hey-hey!"
"You dare to be distracted when fighting against me, the Old Rascal?"
"Take this!"
Seeing that Xiaoyao Hou was somewhat distracted, Zhou Botong struck Xiaoyao Hou's chest with his left hand.
Upon seeing this, Xiaoyao Hou's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively used both hands to block.
Little did they know, Zhou Botong's left-hand palm strike was a feint.
The instant he made his move, his right fist slammed into Xiaoyao Hou's abdomen.
Caught off guard, Xiaoyao was sent flying by Zhou Botong's punch.
"Master!"
Upon seeing this, the young master couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his face filled with disbelief.
To everyone's surprise, before Wang Yang even made a move, his master was beaten so badly by Zhou Botong that he was completely powerless to fight back.
"Are all the people around him this capable?"
The young master sighed inwardly, feeling a pang of regret. He shouldn't have provoked Wang Yang and the others in the first place.
Meanwhile, Wang Yang's expression remained largely unchanged upon seeing this.
The Marquis of Xiaoyao's strength is only at the level of an eighth-level Grandmaster.
As for Zhou Botong, his strength surpasses that of Xiaoyao Hou, possessing the cultivation of a ninth-level Grandmaster.
In addition, Zhou Botong's ambidextrous fighting technique was incredibly strange.
His attack caught Xiaoyao Hou completely off guard.
It's perfectly normal that they were slow to react.
Meanwhile, all of Xiaoyao Hou's subordinates became uneasy upon seeing this.
If the Marquis of Xiaoyao is defeated, then it will be their turn to be purged.
After a moment's thought, many people began to consider leaving.
After all, it's not too late to leave now.
Once the Carefree Marquis is defeated, it will be too late for him to escape.
At this moment, Zhou Botong launched another attack on Xiaoyao Hou.
His movements were extremely fast, and his attacks were continuous, giving Xiaoyao Hou no chance to catch his breath.
"hateful!"
Under Zhou Botong's command, Xiaoyao Hou was exhausted from defending himself.
He had intended to create distance between himself and Zhou Botong so that he could unleash his offensive techniques and switch from defense to offense.
But Zhou Botong was too fast and didn't give him that opportunity at all.
"Whoosh..."
Under Zhou Botong's relentless pressure, Xiaoyao Hou was beaten into a sorry state.
"stop!!"
Seeing that Zhou Botong's fists and palms were about to strike again, Xiaoyao Hou quickly shouted to stop him.
"Um?"
Zhou Botong paused, looked at Xiaoyao Hou with a puzzled expression, and said:
"What's wrong?"
The Carefree Marquis smiled bitterly and waved his hand, saying:
"I'm not playing anymore, I admit defeat."
"Admit defeat?"
Zhou Botong was surprised and frowned slightly. But unexpectedly, just as he was getting into the swing of things, Xiaoyao Hou took the initiative to admit defeat.
"Lord Xiaoyao, weren't you quite arrogant before?"
"You can't even beat me, yet you want to challenge Brother Wang?"
Upon hearing Zhou Botong's words, Xiaoyao Hou looked extremely embarrassed.
After a slight pause, his gaze shifted and he looked directly at Wang Yang:
"Alliance Leader Wang, it was my fault before. Let's just let this matter drop."
After hearing what Xiaoyao Hou said, Zhou Botong was slightly taken aback, and then turned to look at Wang Yang.
"Brother Wang, keep hitting him..."
Before Zhou Botong could finish speaking, Yang Xiao suddenly shouted:
"You old rascal! Watch out!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Carefree Marquis moved swiftly, closing in behind Zhou Botong.
"boom!"
Immediately afterwards, Xiaoyao Hou suddenly slashed a palm at Zhou Botong's back.
This happened very suddenly.
Zhou Botong was completely unprepared and had no time to dodge.
"call out!"
At this critical moment, a sword aura suddenly shot out from the sky.
In no time, the sword energy struck Xiaoyao Hou directly.
"Bang!"
A deafening roar resounded.
Just as Xiaoyao Hou was about to succeed, a sudden sword aura sent him flying.
"this?"
"Brother Wang?"
Zhou Botong stood there stunned, his face full of astonishment, his gaze fixed on Wang Yang.
That sword energy was naturally unleashed by Wang Yang.
Aqing, Nangong Pushe, and Xu Weixiong, the three women, all looked on incredulously at this sight.
Indeed, Wang Yang acted very quickly.
It was so fast that no one could even see how he made his move.
If he had been even a fraction of a second slower, Zhou Botong would likely have perished under the palm strike of the Carefree Marquis.
"You old rascal, how come you never learn your lesson?"
"It was your carelessness during the battle against Shangguan Jin Hong that nearly cost you your life."
"..."
Yang Xiao and the others glanced at Zhou Botong.
I never expected that, even with a precedent to follow, Zhou Botong would still fall for it.
Hearing what everyone said, Zhou Botong felt ashamed and scratched his head, saying:
"Um... I had no idea that this Marquis of Leisure was so treacherous!"
After saying that, Zhou Botong turned his gaze and looked angrily at Xiaoyao Hou, who had fallen to the ground.
"Huff... huff!"
At this moment, Xiaoyao Hou collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
Wang Yang's sword energy just now not only sent him flying, but also crippled his martial arts cultivation.
Seeing Zhou Botong looking at him with a cold and stern expression, Xiaoyao Hou appeared terrified.
"You shameless, carefree Marquis!"
"What a sly, cunning man!"
"Now they've made me a laughingstock again."
Zhou Botong stormed toward Xiaoyao Hou in a rage.
Upon seeing this, Xiaoyao Hou was greatly shocked, his expression filled with panic.
"Old rascal, please...please don't kill me!"
"My martial arts have been crippled, and I pose no threat to you whatsoever!"
Marquis Xiaoyao hurriedly begged for mercy.
Zhou Botong was furious and completely ignored Xiaoyao Hou.
Upon approaching, without saying a word, he unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks on Xiaoyao Hou.
After a flurry of punches and kicks, Xiaoyao Hou was left with a bruised and swollen face.
Upon seeing this, the Marquis of Xiaoyao's men dared not linger any longer and scattered like birds and beasts.
The once formidable force retreated like the tide.
Before long, only the young master remained at the scene.
"Old man! Let go of my master!!"
Seeing Zhou Botong grab Xiaoyao Hou, the young master immediately shouted and lunged at Zhou Botong.
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, Zhou Botong frowned and shouted in a deep voice:
"What an ill-mannered little girl!"
Get out of my way!
Just as the young master was about to rush forward, Zhou Botong casually waved his hand.
"boom!"
In an instant, a powerful surge of energy sent the young master flying.
After falling to the ground, the young master looked unwilling, yet helpless.
At the same time, Zhou Botong had already carried Xiaoyao Hou to Wang Yang's side.
