"Brothers?"

Hearing this shout from Gao Xuan, Yun Xiao was initially stunned, but soon he reacted instantly to the relationship between the two. At that moment, his expression couldn't help but become even gloomier.

Originally, Yun Xiao only thought this pair were companions putting on a two-man act for him, but he hadn't expected them to actually be brothers. It seemed this was long premeditated, and who knows how many people they had tricked before.

"Kid, I'll give you three seconds to let go of my brother, or don't blame me, Gao Xuan, for being ruthless!"

At this moment, Gao Xuan had no idea what kind of existence he was facing. He prided himself on his cultivation at the Late Stage of the Earth Bending Realm, believing that there was no opponent in this area. He immediately uttered his arrogant words again.

Yun Xiao's appearance was undeniably too young. Even the most exceptional geniuses of the younger generation would only have cultivation at the Middle Stage of the Earth Bending Realm, so Gao Xuan was utterly unconcerned.

Moreover, this boy before him looked unfamiliar and was certainly not one of the seasoned geniuses from the major top forces. Now infuriated, Gao Xuan did not even consider the possibility of an unusual existence.

"I'll also give you three seconds to kneel and beg for mercy; perhaps I'll spare your worthless life!"

Previously in good spirits, Yun Xiao now felt a pent-up frustration he couldn't express. He spoke in a somber tone, but upon this statement, both Gao Xuan and the onlookers wore strange expressions.

The move Yun Xiao used to capture Gao Xiang earlier was indeed stunning, but several strong individuals at the mid-late stages of the Earth Bending Realm believed they could do the same, given that the chubby boss Gao Xiang was merely at the Middle Stage of the Seeking Origin Realm.

And yet, here was such a young boy, brazenly demanding the late-stage Earth Bending Realm expert Gao Xuan to kneel and beg for mercy. Where did he get such inexplicable confidence?

Already irritated to the core, Gao Xuan no longer cared whether they were on Lianyun Mountain or not. Since the brothers' identities had been exposed, he knew this place of the Meridian Refining Master Association was not somewhere they could stay any longer.

If that was the case, he might as well kill this boy who exposed their identities, and after killing, flee to another place to continue deceiving. Who would recognize them again?

At this moment, Gao Xuan was filled with extreme murderous intent. He believed with his Late Stage Earth Bending Realm cultivation, it might take only a few moves to kill this arrogant and reckless boy.

As the saying goes, when anger rises from the heart, evil grows alongside courage. Without realizing Yun Xiao's identity, Gao Xuan had already dismissed the three seconds he had mentioned earlier, lunging forward in the next moment, his claw aimed directly at Yun Xiao's throat.

"This is too vicious, he's clearly going for the kill!"

Seeing this, many people shook their heads slightly, sympathizing with the boy in plain clothes, as they believed that in the next moment, the boy who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth would meet an untimely death.

"You brought this on yourself!"

Seeing this, a cold light flashed in Yun Xiao's eyes. He originally only wanted to teach the brothers a lesson, letting them understand that there is always someone stronger, yet he hadn't expected the other party to suddenly turn murderous.

Yun Xiao was by no means benevolent. Since others bullied him, he would not show the slightest mercy. At this moment, an intense killing intent also surged in his heart.

Whoosh...

The next moment, the onlookers witnessed an extremely bizarre scene. The slender boy unexpectedly lifted and swung the two to three hundred-pound fat Gao Xiang around as if wielding an extremely heavy and special weapon.

With low cultivation and having his vital point restrained, Gao Xiang was powerless in Yun Xiao's grasp. Now being swung and smashed toward his own brother, he could only suffer in silence.

As the leader of the Gao brothers, when Gao Xuan noticed a massive shadow hurling toward him, he was startled to see that it was his brother.

Eager to take Yun Xiao's life, Gao Xuan couldn't ignore his brother's life or death. His attack was filled with anger, and if the mid-stage Seeking Origin Realm Gao Xiang took it, even with all his fat, he would likely end up dead with broken bones.

"Damn brat!"

So Gao Xuan decisively retracted his attack immediately, cursing in anger as he tried to avoid his brother's massive body. However, at that moment, an unexpected change occurred.

The current Yun Xiao was a genuine Floating Life Realm middle-stage cultivator. Not to mention Gao Xiang, even Gao Xuan, with his late-stage Earth Bending Realm prowess, was like an ant before him.

The majesty of a strong person is not to be defied. If a low-level cultivator dares to challenge a high-level expert, being beaten to death is what they deserve, just like Gao Xuan at this moment.

Due to a moment of carelessness, the Gao brothers failed to recognize Yun Xiao's identity. Not only did they set Yun Xiao up, but after being exposed, they became enraged and sought to kill him to silence him. Their fate was thus sealed.

So at this moment, even though Gao Xuan withdrew his hand in time, Yun Xiao had no intention of stopping. As soon as Gao Xuan retracted his force, Yun Xiao gently released his grip, directly throwing Gao Xiang's two to three hundred jin body outward.

This throw by Yun Xiao was not a simple one. It contained some special technique, and his aura had long been locked onto Gao Xuan, leaving this late-stage Earth Bending Realm cultivator with no avenue for escape.

"Huh? Why can't I move?"

Gao Xuan, who had just retracted his hand, saw his brother's large body rushing toward him and wanted to dodge. However, just when he tried to move, he found his body was bound by some mysterious force.

One must know that Gao Xuan was already a strong practitioner at the Earth Bending Realm. At least, within the Earth Rank Third Realm, no one could bind him with just an aura, not even someone at the Peak of Earth Bending Realm or a half-step Heavenly Rank expert.

Given this, there was only one possibility. The force that could restrain a late-stage Earth Bending Realm must be stronger than Earth Power. The answer was already appearing.

"You... you... are Heaven...?"

In the instant his body was bound, clarity struck Gao Xuan as a look of extreme horror spread across his face. Staring at the slightly blurred, roughly dressed figure, he exclaimed in a drastically changed voice. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Unfortunately, the two were originally very close. When Yun Xiao hurled Gao Xiang, he used a special force, so just as Gao Xuan's voice came out, the huge body had already collided with him fiercely.

Bam!

A loud crash resounded, and immediately everyone saw Gao Xuan, a very tall and thin figure, being directly hit by the hefty Gao Xiang, both instantly turning into rolling gourds.

Of course, Yun Xiao's means this time were far from letting the two brothers turn into rolling gourds. Besides their audacity to challenge him, as a disciple of Lianyun Mountain, he also had the duty to maintain the integrity of this marketplace.

After all, this place belonged to the realm of Lianyun Mountain. Selling counterfeit goods was one thing, and the buyers could only blame themselves for poor judgment, managing to retrieve their losses if they could, or accepting bad luck if they couldn't.

However, like the Gao brothers, who premeditatedly trapped others in pits, and after others spent large sums to obtain genuine goods, forcibly swapped them with fakes, was simply unreasonable.

It was unfortunate for the Gao brothers to encounter Yun Xiao. If it weren't for this, others less powerful might have had no choice but to swallow their grievances and protect their lives.

With everything going wrong and the Gao brothers experiencing a streak of bad luck, not only did they fail to trap anyone this time, but they also lost their own lives, tragically ironic.

Given Gao Xiang's late-stage Earth Bending Realm strength, even a two to three hundred jin boulder couldn't take his life. But seeing the situation of the Gao brothers over there, everyone drew a sharp breath.

Primarily affected was Gao Xuan, the late-stage Earth Bending Realm cultivator, now spewing blood from his mouth, with crimson blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, clearly indicating his innards were shattered beyond recovery.

And Gao Xiang, who was wielded as a weapon, was now completely silent. Perhaps even at the moment before his death, Gao Xiang never understood just what kind of being he had provoked.

It must be acknowledged that Gao Xuan's late-stage Earth Bending Realm cultivation was truly remarkable. Even with his innards shattered, he could still hold on for a moment, his gaze sweeping past his brother's mountainous corpse, fixating unblinkingly on the roughly dressed youth.

"So young... cough cough... such strength... cough... in Lianyun Mountain, you must be Yun Xiao, right?"

In this life-and-death moment, Gao Xuan's mind suddenly became incredibly clear. His words sounded calm but carried a deep resentment and a tinge of deep-seated remorse.

It is said that only oneself knows the reality of one's affairs. Gao Xuan's cultivation had reached the late-stage Earth Bending Realm. He believed that even a peak Earth Bending Realm expert or a half-step Heavenly Rank expert couldn't simply kill him in one blow.

Thus, the person could only be a Heavenly Rank expert, and throughout the entire Tenglong Continent, the only young genius possibly reaching the Heavenly Rank at such an age could only be that one.

The one who shone brightly in the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield, even stormed the headquarters of the Strange Spirit on Impermanence Island, dismantling the shocking plot of the Holy Spirit experts, and ultimately even Douling Commerce Vice President Lu Tianrun died at his hands.

If the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit still seemed distant to these inland cultivators, then Douling Commerce's Vice President Lu Tianrun was a renowned figure throughout the Tenglong Continent.

Even such a strong figure was killed by Yun Xiao, let alone someone like Gao Xuan, a late-stage Earth Bending Realm practitioner. After contemplating these revelations, although Gao Xuan's heart was filled with resentment, there was also a strange sense of honor.
