Level 2 is when you make your move. Dash at them with
Audacious Charge and hit your
Three Talon Strike.
Ignite if they are low enough.
This will cause the enemy to either
A) Die
B) Use summoner spells to escape.
C) Get away with little health.
In all three scenarios, you win. Do this as many times as you can until they learn you shouldn't be messed with and get zoned, while you free farm.

Farming can be difficult for Xin Zhao if you are against a enemy with good poke. In most cases, if you can kill them or get them low enough, they will be scared to even remotely disturb your farming. If you don't pose as a threat and they continually poke you, buy some sustain, whether that be more health potions or life steal. Try to catch them out trying to poke you. They can't trade with Xin's amazing early damage.
In teamfights, Xin Zhao is exceptionally great at taking out squishy champions, such as the ADC or APC. Because of his high damage and a disengaging ultimate, you can take the enemy out without the rest of the enemy team attacking you as well.
If your team is losing/bad at teamfighting, split pushing is a viable option with Xin. Ravenous Hydra provides great AoE to clear minion waves, while attack speed provides great turret taking ability.
