Upon hearing the man's arrogant words, Ye Xunhuan's expression turned serious: "Then today I'll see who you really are!"
With that, Ye Xunhuan kicked off the ground, his entire being like a beast that had been lurking for a long time, and immediately rushed toward the man.
The terrifying speed kicked up a wind, and Ye Xunhuan turned into a shadow as he rapidly approached the man.
The man claimed to be an old acquaintance of Qin Fenghuang, but Ye Xunhuan had never seen or heard of such a formidable acquaintance of his mother!
This made Ye Xunhuan highly suspicious of the man's motive for being here, prompting him to want to see who this person really was and what his purpose for coming was.
The man seemed to have eyes in the back of his head; just as Ye Xunhuan moved, the man snorted coldly, showing little respect as he slowly lifted his right foot before stomping it hard onto the ground!
The stomp was akin to the thundering advance of thousands of troops and horses. The entire ground shook, while Qiu Ruoxi on the side couldn't help swaying, and Ye Xunhuan momentarily paused.
At that moment, the man leapt up as if he could walk on air, landing directly on the roof nearby!
This simple move shook Ye Xunhuan's heart violently. Who on earth was this person?
How could he be so terrifying?
"Ye Xunhuan, don't think that just because you've made a name for yourself in the Western underworld that you're invincible." The man still had his back to Ye Xunhuan while standing on the roof: "That's just an illusion. There are plenty more powerful than you, though they choose not to reveal themselves!"
"Who exactly are you?" Ye Xunhuan asked again.
"You don't deserve to know." The man repeated the phrase he'd said before.
"Then it's not going to be so easy for you to leave today!"
With that, Ye Xunhuan bounced up again like an ape in the forest, grabbing a wall and flipping himself onto the roof.
Qiu Ruoxi stood quietly on the ground watching the scene unfold, her expression remaining relatively calm.
Ever since marrying Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi had realized that many unexplainable things about him gradually became clear. Accompanying Ye Xunhuan, she also witnessed some people who defied ordinary comprehension.
"It seems you won't relent without a fight." The man sighed softly: "Very well, Ye Xunhuan, if you can make me turn around, then you win, and I'll tell you who I am!"
With those words, Ye Xunhuan quickly lunged at the man, transforming his hand into a claw, making a fierce grab for the man's shoulder.
Facing Ye Xunhuan's fierce attack, the man showed no intention of turning around, still facing away from him, like water in a pond without the slightest ripple.
In an instant, Ye Xunhuan's right claw reached behind the man, looking as if it would land on his shoulder, when the man's left hand suddenly reached forward from his neckline, gripping Ye Xunhuan's wrist. Not giving Ye Xunhuan any chance to react, he pressed down suddenly, before transforming his left hand into a palm, and heavily struck the back of Ye Xunhuan's hand!
A dull sound echoed, and Ye Xunhuan uncontrollably staggered back, more accurately falling from the roof to the ground!
Upon seeing this, Qiu Ruoxi's heart leaped into her throat, her delicate face filled with a thick worry.
At that moment, Ye Xunhuan flipped in mid-air and landed on the ground unscathed.
After landing, Ye Xunhuan didn't attack again, but rather looked at the man on the rooftop with a heavy expression, his inner being filled with an unprecedented shock.
Who exactly was this person, who could be so terrifying.
How could he force him back with just one move?
Ye Xunhuan had encountered countless masters and fought countless people, yet never had anyone managed to force him back with a single move!
Not even the Blood Phoenix, Olivia, could do it, could they force Ye Xunhuan back with one move.
Let alone, making Ye Xunhuan feel a strong sense of impending death.
Could he be the so-called protector of the state?
But if he were a protector, how could his mother have known him?
"Ye Xunhuan, you are not my match." The man said slowly: "Even if you attacked a hundred, a thousand times, you still wouldn't be my opponent!"
"Stop engaging in futile struggles, when it's time for you to know, you will naturally know."
Ye Xunhuan said nothing, but continued to stare intently at the man.
"By the way, let me tell you, the White Head Tai Xuan Ching and Tai Chi Seal are not as simple as you think." The man kindly advised: "Reflect on it well!"
Upon hearing the man's words, the shock within Ye Xunhuan's heart grew even more intense.
If the man knew Ye Xunhuan held the Tai Chi Seal, that wouldn't be surprising, but he actually knew about the White Head Tai Xuan Ching!
"Who, exactly, are you?" Ye Xunhuan asked again: "How do you know about the White Head Tai Xuan Ching?"
"I know far more than you imagine." The man said softly: "You need not be so tense; I hold no ill intent towards you. If I had other intentions, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me now!"
"Well, it's getting late, and I should go. I hope the next time we meet, you can surprise me."
With those words, the man kicked off the ground, and like a galloping steed, quickly leaped away, in the blink of an eye, turning into a black dot, disappearing from Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi's sight.
Ye Xunhuan did not pursue, not because he didn't want to, but because the man was simply too terrifying, chasing him would be pointless.
Moreover, the man truly bore him no ill will.
Otherwise, with his strength, subduing or killing Ye Xunhuan wouldn't be a difficult task.
Though the extremely mysterious man had left, Ye Xunhuan's heart was filled with an unprecedented heaviness.
Who was he, what was his relationship to his mother, and why did he appear here?
A series of questions filled Ye Xunhuan's mind.
Suddenly, Qiu Ruoxi looked at Ye Xunhuan and softly asked: "Xunhuan, are you okay?"
Qiu Ruoxi had just seen Ye Xunhuan fall from the rooftop.
Hearing Qiu Ruoxi's words, Ye Xunhuan came to his senses and gently shook his head: "I'm fine!"
The man had no intention of harming Ye Xunhuan, merely forcing him down from the roof, otherwise, he would definitely be in trouble.
