"Boy, don't get smug. Even if I can't do anything to you, the Ryugen family will take your life."
He Yaodong said in anger, "Do you know who the red-clothed man you just killed was? I'm not afraid to tell you, he was none other than the young master of the Ryugen family, Ryugen Tengu, and his father is the patriarch of the Ryugen family, Ryugen Juubei, the strongest man in the Yang Nation today."
"Princess Miyamoto Yukiko might fear you, but Ryugen Juubei won't. In the Yang Nation, he doesn't even fear the royal family. You're dead."
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Lang smiled and said, "I was just thinking this trip to the Yang Nation was too uneventful. Judging by what you say, I suddenly find it a bit interesting."
"Group Leader Shen, what are you planning to do?"
Seeing Shen Lang's eyes suddenly light up with fervor, Qin Long sighed internally and asked.
"Brother Qin, is the martial arts of the Yang Nation very strong?"
Shen Lang looked at Qin Long and smiled, "I want to challenge the entire Yang Nation's martial arts single-handedly."
As soon as he said this, Qin Long and Xiong Zi, and all the others, their eyes widened, and they said, "Group Leader Shen, isn't that too crazy?"
"Heh... I live for the thrill of it."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Different lands, we share the same sky. Though those scums who harmed us back then are mostly dead, their descendants are still alive. I want to suppress the entire Yang Nation's martial arts single-handedly, break their spines, and seek justice for our innocent ancestors who died."
"Group Leader Shen, since you've decided, we'll stay and accompany you. But what about He Yaodong? How should we handle him?"
Shen Lang's decision shocked Qin Long and the others, but they didn't object, even willing to face the danger with Shen Lang. However, He Yaodong in their hands was indeed a problem, especially since they were in the Yang Nation and still within He Yaodong's sphere of influence.
"He Yaodong cannot be kept here. He must be escorted back to Nanling immediately. Group Leader Qin, you will lead the brothers to escort him back."
Shen Lang said, "Since Miyamoto Yukiko said she wouldn't interfere, you won't encounter too much trouble. Just be careful of He Yaodong's subordinates jumping out of desperation."
"Group Leader Shen, rest assured, with the methods you taught us, we're not afraid of their counterattack. It's just that we're worried about you being alone in the Yang Nation."
Qin Long thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I take a few other brothers to escort He Yaodong back, and Xiong Zi and Long Zi stay. Their martial arts cultivation may not be as good as yours, but they are sharp and capable, and you might need them in other aspects."
"That works too, then let them stay."
Shen Lang looked at Qin Long and said, "You should leave now and escort He Yaodong back. If my uncle asks, tell him we'll be back after we finish our business."
"Alright, Group Leader Shen, we'll await your return in Nanling."
Qin Long and the other team members saluted Shen Lang with a fist-and-palm gesture, then quickly left Baimasi Temple with He Yaodong.
Half an hour later, the news that Qin Long and the others had boarded a plane with He Yaodong reached Shen Lang's phone, while Shen Lang himself appeared at the Kyoto Television Station in the Yang Nation.
Kyoto Television Station was the largest television station in the nation. Thus, the station building, over a hundred floors high, soared into the clouds, magnificent and grand.
When Shen Lang, Xiong Zi, and Long Zi appeared in front of the television station building, two security guards immediately approached, looking suspiciously at the three foreigners and asking, "Who are you?"
"Swish—"
As soon as the two security guards finished speaking, a black broadsword was swiftly drawn and placed at their throats, making them turn ashen with fear.
"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Shen Lang. I'm here to ask you to deliver a challenge letter for me."
Shen Lang took out a challenge letter he had written at Baimasi Temple from his pocket and slapped it directly onto one of the security guards' faces, saying, "I hear the martial arts of the Yang Nation are long-standing, with countless powerful figures. For the next three days, I will challenge the entire Yang Nation's martial arts single-handedly. The location will be the Sakura Plaza in front of your television station, where we will fight to victory or to the death."
"What?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, the two security guards' eyes widened, and they exclaimed, "You, a Dragon Nation person, want to challenge the Yang Nation's martial arts single-handedly? Arrogant! You're looking for death."
"Enough with the nonsense. The challenge letter has been given to you. Now you have two choices: either immediately deliver the challenge letter to your director and have him send it out as quickly as possible, or you tear up the challenge letter and I'll leave now."
Shen Lang smiled and added, "If you choose the latter, I'll have the Dragon Nation Television broadcast this matter to the entire world, announcing that the Yang Nation's martial artists don't even dare to accept a challenge."
"You..."
The two security guards were enraged. "The Yang Nation's martial artists dare not accept your challenge? Hah, a huge joke! I hope you don't regret this choice."
With that, the two security guards took Shen Lang's challenge letter and rushed into the building, heading straight for the director's office.
The director of the television station was a thin Yang Nation man in his fifties named Matsumoto Ichi. When he learned that an unknown young man dared to challenge the entire Yang Nation's martial arts, Matsumoto Ichi was furious.
"Fine, since this brat is seeking death, send out this challenge letter and let the Yang Nation's martial artists teach this brat a lesson."
As Matsumoto Ichi issued the order, five minutes later, Shen Lang's challenge letter was broadcast by the Yang Nation's Kyoto Television Station. Within ten-odd minutes, it had spread throughout the Yang Nation.
Upon learning that an unknown young man intended to challenge all the Yang Nation's martial artists, the martial artists and people of the Yang Nation were enraged.
Half an hour later, tens of thousands of people gathered at the Sakura Plaza in the Yang Nation, surrounding Shen Lang, Xiong Zi, and Long Zi, all eager to catch a glimpse of this young man.
Seeing how many people were concerned about this challenge, the television station immediately arranged a live broadcast of the scene. Other countries' television stations and online media, smelling opportunity, immediately followed suit with real-time broadcasts.
In less than half an hour, the scene from the plaza had spread worldwide. Everyone knew that a young man in his twenties was going to challenge all the Yang Nation's martial artists, and thus, all were curious about this confrontation.
"Husband..."
Wang Yuyan, who was watering flowers at the Song family manor in Nanling, took out her phone and saw the pushed live stream. Upon clicking it, she was shocked.
"This boy... he truly is Shen Tianjun's son."
Song Shadao also saw the live broadcast. Upon learning that his nephew was going to challenge the Yang Nation's martial artists alone, after his initial surprise, he smiled and uttered this remark.
"Shen Lang, that bastard! How dare he challenge a nation's martial artists alone?"
In Longdu, Qi Tuojiang and Kong Wudao were equally shocked upon seeing the live broadcast. They knew Shen Lang was a crazy lunatic, but they never expected him to be this insane, confronting an entire nation's martial arts single-handedly. Wasn't he just looking for death?
