Under the naked eye, the fake hand caught by Brother Shui's grip began to deflate.

"Brother Shui, kill him!"

Seeing Brother Shui gaining the upper hand, the tall one laughed wildly.

As Brother Shui held Iron Hands' fake hand, he used his other hand to strike at Iron Hands' head, as if he were going to crush it.

Iron Hands' face had turned utterly pale.

Although the opponent's formidable martial aura was not detectable, the sheer strength was enough to make anyone tremble.

Seeing no way to dodge Brother Shui's hand, Iron Hands was about to abandon his fake hand and flee. Suddenly, Ye Guichen appeared in front of Brother Shui.

"What powerful external martial arts!" As the words fell, Ye Guichen suddenly struck, bending his finger to tap at Brother Shui's arm.

The hand originally striking at Iron Hands immediately began to spasmodically twitch.

In the next second, Ye Guichen's figure moved swiftly, transforming into an afterimage, tapping around Brother Shui continuously.

"Poof! Poof! Poof!"

After a series of sounds like deflating balloons, Brother Shui's movements slowed down, his body starting to shake violently, as though trying to resist something.

"Fall!"

However, Ye Guichen didn't give Brother Shui any chance, suddenly tapping his neck area.

Brother Shui's nearly 300-pound body fell straight down.

Bang!

As he fell, he landed right at the doorway, smashing the floor.

Iron Hands, escaping from the jaws of death, wiped off his cold sweat, staring at Ye Guichen in shock: "Ye, Mr. Ye, what's going on here?"

Su Jiu'er was also astonished.

She had seen with her own eyes that Ye Guichen didn't use much strength, only tapping Brother Shui a few times to subdue him.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would have seemed utterly ridiculous.

However, Su Tong looked completely shaken, staring at Ye Guichen, his beard slightly trembling: "This, this is Senior Brother's unique hole-breaking technique, known as the Divine Soul Breaking Hole Technique, how, how do you know it?"

Su Tong gazed at Ye Guichen, his eyes filled with hope.

Since the beginning, Su Tong had sensed that Ye Guichen's aura was somewhat reminiscent of his eccentric Senior Brother, though he couldn't articulate exactly why.

But seeing Ye Guichen's recent move, Su Tong felt as if he had seen his Senior Brother possess him.

The Divine Soul Breaking Hole Technique, while not an exceptionally advanced cultivation technique, posed deadly threats to certain individuals.

To master this technique, one needed an intimate knowledge of human organs and acupuncture points, to the point of flawless familiarity.

Additionally, a certain level of martial arts foundation was required. Otherwise, even if one could perform the Divine Soul Breaking Hole Technique, without the necessary strength, it was impossible to cause loss of control over the body.

Furthermore, without precise control, using this technique could result in instant death for the subject.

Yet Ye Guichen's mastery was evidently perfect, not only subduing Brother Shui but also sparing his life.

Su Tong knew even he couldn't achieve such precision, believing only his revered and beloved Senior Brother was capable of it.

But this Ye Guichen had accomplished it, surely bearing a significant connection to his Senior Brother.

Brother Shui's tall henchman, seeing Brother Shui fall, froze in his smile and fled in terror.

Ye Guichen clapped his hands and did not pursue him, instead, glanced at Brother Shui and said to Iron Hands: "It's not your fault you failed, his cultivation technique differs from that of ordinary martial artists. He practices external martial arts, showing considerable skill, likely surpassing even the iron-hard bodies trained at the Shaolin Temple. Given his size, it's no wonder you almost fell to him with a single mistake."

Iron Hands, enlightened, nodded quickly.

Inside, he felt a bit ashamed that Ye Guichen didn't blame him but instead explained the situation.

Upon hearing this, Su Jiu'er's eyes widened: "You mean, this Brother Shui practices external martial arts?"

"How, you also know?" Ye Guichen was somewhat surprised. Apart from the ordinary path of martial arts, there were those dedicated to physical training. This path was even more difficult, with few achieving success. But once successful, even early accomplishments would make them more formidable than martial artists of the same level.

From a purely level perspective, this Brother Shui could be considered a third-rate expert.

But his external martial arts were no small feat, coupled with his bulk and strength, beyond imagination. It's not surprising that Su Jiu'er was initially caught off guard, and even the deadly assassin Iron Hands nearly fell.

When Ye Guichen saw Brother Shui's move, he immediately recognized his external martial arts skill, his eyes lighting up.

Such practitioners were treasures. If cultivated into allies, they could become major weapons.

For this reason, Ye Guichen didn't use lethal force but employed his master's Divine Soul Breaking Hole Technique.

After all, ordinary means wouldn't suffice against such external martial artists, but the Divine Soul Breaking Hole Technique was their nemesis.

"Ye Guichen, does such an external martial artist truly exist?" Su Jiu'er was evidently skeptical, cautiously approaching Brother Shui, prying open his eyes to see his pupils were lighter than normal, and his gaze somewhat dazed.

"Heavens, it's just like the records describe. To practice external martial arts, besides a strong body, immense endurance is required." Su Jiu'er exclaimed in astonishment, as if witnessing a miracle: "But practicing external martial arts is akin to constantly tearing and healing one's flesh. Even the most resolute individuals can't endure such pain. Therefore, it naturally benefits those with numbed nerves. While successful martial artists are one in ten thousand, successful external martial artists are perhaps one in a million or even ten million."

"I thought such external martial arts didn't exist, just exaggerated claims. I never imagined I'd encounter one today. Wow, I have so much to boast about when I get back." It seemed Su Jiu'er had found her confidence in that moment: "Losing to such a person proves I'm not entirely worthless."

Ye Guichen, hearing this, was at a loss for words. He instructed Iron Hands and Su Jiu'er to carry Brother Shui inside and then turned to Su Tong: "Mr. Su, do you know the Divine Soul Breaking Hole Technique?"
