Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yuan Bubai's face first turned grim, then he chuckled and said, "Young man, I admit you are not simple, but you can't kill me, nor dare you."
"Dare not?"
Shen Lang sneered at his words, "Do you really think the boss of Heaven and Earth is an invulnerable identity?"
Shen Lang dropped a bombshell, "Yuan Bubai, do you think you are better than Lin Nianfo?"
"What do you mean?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Bubai's face darkened again, his expression extremely displeased.
Everyone said Yang Ce was the King of Nanling, but everyone in Nanling knew that the most terrifying person was actually Lin Nianfo.
Lin Nianfo started his business in the underworld, was ruthless, and wouldn't bat an eye when killing someone.
Furthermore, Lin Nianfo had hundreds of former Lin family subordinates.
When Lin Nianfo was alive, whether it was Yang Ce, Yuan Bubai, or others, they all held a seventy percent fear towards him.
Even now, hearing Lin Nianfo's name, Yuan Bubai still felt uneasy.
However, Yuan Bubai couldn't understand why Shen Lang suddenly brought up Lin Nianfo.
After all, Lin Nianfo had long been beheaded by an unknown youth at his birthday banquet, and the Lin family had long since been annihilated due to the Nanling Golden Boy and Jade Girl case.
"Lin Nianfo's head, I cut it off."
While Yuan Bubai was still confused, Shen Lang raised the Tang dao in his hand and said calmly.
"What?"
As soon as he said this, Yuan Bubai was greatly alarmed, and everyone else attending the Feast of Ultimate Bliss had the same shocked expression.
The attendees of the Feast of Ultimate Bliss were all prominent figures, but compared to Lin Nianfo, they were several grades below. They had not been invited by Lin Nianfo that night.
Yuan Bubai had been invited, but he had gone to Longdu to see the young master that night, making him the only one who did not attend the birthday banquet.
Therefore, none of the people present had ever seen Shen Lang before.
They only knew that at Lin Nianfo's birthday banquet, an unknown youth had presented a coffin, which not only led to Lin Nianfo's demise but also the annihilation of the Lin family.
As for Lin Nianfo, the patriarch of the Lin family, being beheaded with a single saber at the banquet, the story was spread like wildfire.
Some said that the youth, with his saber, descended like a god, wielding a ten-meter-long broadsword and single-handedly defeating hundreds of Lin family remnants, creating a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with bones piled high like mountains, and finally chopping off Lin Nianfo's head.
Others said that the youth, with his iron fists, fought his way through seven times, and when he finally reached Lin Nianfo, he pulled out a dagger and severed Lin Nianfo's head with one stroke.
However, regardless of how it happened, the result of Lin Nianfo being beheaded by an unknown youth with a single saber remained unchanged.
But neither Yuan Bubai nor the attendees of the Feast of Ultimate Bliss at the scene had ever expected that the person who beheaded Lin Nianfo would be this young man, Shen Lang.
"Kid, you say you killed Lin Nianfo, was it really you?"
After his expression shifted slightly, Yuan Bubai snorted coldly, "One witness is not enough. Why should I believe you?"
"Uh, actually, I can testify."
Just then, Yang Ce, who had been knocked to the ground, suddenly spoke, weakly uttering a sentence.
"My god, Brother Ce, you're still alive?"
Hearing Yang Ce's words, Shen Lang exclaimed in shock, "Seeing you lying on the ground, bleeding profusely, and not moving for half a day, I thought you were dead and had already prepared for your funeral."
"You son of a—"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yang Ce cursed, "Brother Shen, that's not fair. I got cut up like this for you. If you weren't going to save me, why are you already preparing a grand memorial service for me while I'm still alive?"
"Uh, Brother Ce, you can't blame me. I didn't expect you to be so lucky."
Shen Lang scratched his head and said, "Look at you, your calf was pierced, you took several stabs in the back, and you're bleeding like a fountain. It's a miracle you're not dead."
"However, to be honest, your performance tonight, especially just now, I am very satisfied."
"Now, you are half of my friend. I'll cover you if you need anything in the future."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yang Ce was overjoyed. Being friends with someone like Shen Lang, even if only half, was a cause for happiness.
However, Yang Ce looked puzzled and asked, "Brother Shen, why can I only be half of your friend?"
"Uh, that's simple. Because you only have half a life left now, so you can only be half of my friend."
Shen Lang looked at Yang Ce and smiled.
"You..."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yang Ce's mouth opened wide as he shouted.
But before he could finish shouting, Shen Lang took out a medicine bottle and poured out a white pill.
Shen Lang pinched the white pill between his thumb and index finger, flicked it lightly, and the white pill flew directly into Yang Ce's mouth.
As the pill entered his mouth, within ten seconds, Yang Ce felt most of the pain from his wounds disappear, and the bleeding also stopped.
"Thank you—"
Seeing this, Yang Ce thanked Shen Lang.
Without Shen Lang's pill to stop the bleeding and pain, Yang Ce would have either bled to death or died from excruciating pain.
"Brother Ce, you're welcome. After all, we've known each other for over ten years."
Shen Lang said with a smile.
"What?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yang Ce was startled and said, "You said we've known each other for over ten years?"
"Never mind, let's not talk about it. It's fine if you don't remember."
Shen Lang seemed unwilling to discuss the topic and said, "Find a place to recover from your injuries. Leave this place to me."
"Yang Ce, you're not leaving. Explain things first."
Seeing Yang Ce trying to move and crawl back to his seat, Yuan Bubai shouted, "You just said you could testify, what did you mean by that?"
"What else could it mean? My meaning is very simple. Brother Shen is that unknown youth who killed Lin Nianfo and annihilated the Lin family that night."
Yang Ce said with dissatisfaction to Yuan Bubai, "Do you understand now?"
"Yang Ce, are you and this kid trying to scare me?"
Hearing Yang Ce's words, Yuan Bubai said coldly, "Let's not even talk about whether this kid killed Lin Nianfo or annihilated the Lin family. Even if it's true, would I, Yuan Bubai, be afraid?"
"I am not the declining Lin Nianfo, I am the flourishing Yuan Bubai. Heaven and Earth still has experts who haven't appeared, and I have the support of the Longdu noble families behind me. Who in Nanling do I fear now?"
"Yang Ce, originally I didn't intend to deal with you for now. But since you've sided with this kid and chosen to oppose me, then fine. Today, whether it's you or this kid, you will all die here."
With that, Yuan Bubai strode towards the wall of the hall and punched it.
To everyone's surprise, there was a hidden compartment in the wall, and inside it was an alarm.
As Yuan Bubai pressed the alarm, thirty silver-clad men wielding long sabers charged in with fierce killing intent.
