Too fierce, too brutal.
Seeing Shen Lang decapitate the man in black with a single stroke, the other men in black turned pale and instinctively took two steps back.
Who exactly was this kid? Why was his attack so fierce and brutal?
"Yang Ce, how did you know this kid?"
Yuan Bubai was also taken aback by Shen Lang's extreme ferocity and brutality, and he spoke to Yang Ce.
"Of course, we met by chance."
Yang Ce looked at Shen Lang and smiled, "Is there a problem?"
"Yang Ce, this kid was brought by you, so in principle, I should give you face."
"But as you just saw, this kid not only killed two of my distinguished guests at the Joyful Feast, but also killed one of my subordinates. Therefore, don't blame me for not giving you face."
Yuan Bubai looked at Yang Ce and said coldly, "I am determined to kill this kid today. You won't blame me, will you?"
"Of course not."
Yang Ce picked up his wine cup, scooped up a full cup of white wine from the wine pool in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp. He said, "If you want to kill him, I won't blame you. I will only stand by his side."
"What?"
Hearing Yang Ce's words, not only Yuan Bubai was shocked, but everyone else attending the Joyful Feast was also stunned.
No one expected Yang Ce to choose to stand with this kid Shen Lang.
"Yang Ce, have you thought it through? If you stand with this kid, you will be my enemy, Yuan Bubai. I always hunt down my enemies to the last. Therefore, you won't be able to leave alive tonight."
Yuan Bubai didn't want to deal with Yang Ce for the moment, as the time wasn't right. So, he wanted Yang Ce to retreat.
"Hunt down enemies to the last?"
Yang Ce heard this, looked at Yuan Bubai, and sneered, "You hunt down your own family to the last as well, don't you? Otherwise, why would people call you a slave of the Seven Families."
"Yang Ce, I didn't want to touch you, but since you're seeking death, don't blame me."
Being called a slave of the Seven Families by Yang Ce, Yuan Bubai was furious. He said, "Since you want to stand with this kid, then die with him."
With that, Yuan Bubai shouted, "Kill them!"
"Yes—"
Hearing Yuan Bubai's words, the men in black surrounding Shen Lang and the Yu sisters immediately split in half. They formed a circle around Yang Ce, and then, without any hesitation, their swords and axes simultaneously hacked down at Yang Ce.
"It's been a while since I've fought anyone. I hope my fists and feet aren't too rusty."
Facing the siege of more than thirty people, Yang Ce actually didn't show much fear. He put down the wine cup in front of him and kicked a solid wooden table flying.
"Ah—"
The solid wooden table in front of Yang Ce weighed at least fifty pounds. When he kicked it flying, the four men in black standing too close couldn't evade it in time. They were knocked to the ground, screaming.
"Brother Shen, I'm not like you. I can't slaughter a whole army by myself, so you need to finish them quickly and then come help me!"
As the four men in black screamed, Yang Ce rolled over, grabbed an axe dropped by one of the men in black with his left hand, and a long saber from another with his right.
With a saber and an axe in hand, Yang Ce's momentum surged. He was like a bloodthirsty tiger. After a fierce roar, he moved swiftly.
"Clang—"
As the long sabers of three men in black were about to strike him, Yang Ce raised his right hand and blocked their attacks with a horizontal parry. Then, he swung an axe with his left hand.
"Ah—"
Yang Ce's axe swept across the chests of the three men, instantly breaking their sternums. They fell like kites with broken strings, spurting blood.
However, Yang Ce didn't have time to celebrate. Three men in black suddenly lunged at him.
Two wielded sabers, one an axe. The two in front swung their sabers down, which Yang Ce blocked with his saber.
But at this moment, another man from the left struck at Yang Ce's waist with an axe.
"Dirty trick—"
Yang Ce cursed upon seeing this but showed no panic.
"Die—"
Yang Ce roared like a raging beast, then forcefully pulled his saber with his right hand, quickly dodging the sabers of the two men in front, and then swung his saber, directly cutting down the two men in front.
"Ah—"
The moment the two men in black fell dead, Yang Ce quickly turned, blocking an axe from the side with his left hand while quickly slashing with his right, decapitating the attacker.
In less than two minutes, Yang Ce had disabled or killed six men in black. This scene shocked not only everyone at the Joyful Feast but also Yuan Bubai and his subordinates.
No one expected that Yang Ce, an ordinary person, could possess such combat power when facing a siege of more than thirty people.
"As expected of the renowned King of Nanling."
"Kill—"
After the shock, Yuan Bubai became enraged and shouted at his subordinates.
Hearing Yuan Bubai's words, the remaining twenty-odd men in black immediately wielded their sabers and axes and attacked Yang Ce.
Although Yang Ce was fierce, he was still one person. As the saying goes, even a fierce tiger cannot withstand a pack of wolves.
"Ah—"
After Yang Ce cut down two men in black with his saber, he was struck on the back, leaving a long, deep wound.
However, the intense pain only made Yang Ce more ferocious. He tightened his grip on the axe with his left hand, turned, and cleaved the attacker who had ambushed him to the ground with an axe.
But at this moment, two men in black, taking advantage of Yang Ce's distraction, lunged from left and right, their long sabers piercing Yang Ce's calves.
"Ah—"
Even with Yang Ce's strength, being stabbed in the calves caused him to cry out in pain and fall to his knees uncontrollably.
The moment Yang Ce knelt, three swordsmen and axemen immediately swung their weapons at him.
Seeing this, Yang Ce swung his saber with his right hand, blocking the three men's weapons.
However, at this moment, two men from behind swung their long sabers and struck Yang Ce's back.
In agony, Yang Ce grunted and fell to the ground, losing his ability to fight.
Seeing this, the others did not hold back and rained down their sabers and axes on Yang Ce.
If nothing unexpected happened, Yang Ce would have been cut to death in the next second.
But, at this very moment, the temperature around them seemed to drop below zero, a chilling cold.
Then, a cold glint appeared, and all the men in black holding sabers and axes were instantly killed, falling to the ground with their eyes wide open in disbelief.
"Who is it?"
Yuan Bubai shouted angrily upon seeing this.
Yuan Bubai was so shocked because Shen Lang was being besieged by his subordinates. Although Shen Lang was terrifyingly powerful, having killed more than a dozen people with his saber,
However, as he was fighting on one side and protecting the Yu sisters on the other, Shen Lang was hesitant to act, unable to spare any attention to save Yang Ce.
Therefore, it must have been someone else who made the move.
As Yuan Bubai finished speaking, a person suddenly appeared at the doorway.
The newcomer was dressed in black, with dark eyes and a black saber in hand, but his face was pale and lifeless.
"Can Dao?"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Shen Lang was greatly startled.
