The silver-clad men before them exuded a completely different aura from the black-clad men from before.
While everyone present could clearly sense that the previous black-clad men were thugs engaged in brute force and brawling, these silver-clad men who had just appeared displayed no trace of ferocity on their faces. Instead, there was only a savage aura, akin to that of wild beasts.
"When did Yuan Bubai get so many powerful subordinates?"
Seeing dozens of silver-clad men with such formidable presences, Yang Ce and everyone else present turned pale and exclaimed.
They knew the strength of the Heavenly Realm establishment.
Yuan Bubai's subordinates were, at most, the dozens of black-clad men from earlier. Why were there now dozens of silver-clad men?
It seemed Yuan Bubai had truly become the spokesperson for that Young Master from Longdu, receiving his complete support.
"Kill him—"
The appearance of these silver-clad men gave Yuan Bubai immense confidence, and he shouted with exhilaration.
These were the trump cards the Young Master from Longdu had given Yuan Bubai. Yuan Bubai had originally intended to use them as a surprise attack, catching his opponents off guard.
However, he never imagined that the night's turn of events would lead to all his usable men being killed.
With no other recourse, he had to deploy this trump card.
"Thirty Yellow realm martial artists. Yuan Bubai, I never expected a mere KTV owner like you to have so many martial artists as hired muscle. I underestimated you."
Shen Lang surveyed the group of silver-clad men before him and said to Yuan Bubai, "No wonder you dared to commit all sorts of evil deeds. It turns out you had such backing. But do you truly believe they can save your life?"
"Can't they?"
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, Yuan Bubai laughed heartily, "Thirty Yellow realm experts. Unless you are at the mid-stage of the Profound realm, you absolutely cannot survive their encirclement."
"Let me handle this."
As Yuan Bubai finished speaking, Can Dao, wielding his black saber, stepped forward, approaching Shen Lang.
"No need. It's a minor matter; no need to trouble you."
Shen Lang waved his hand upon hearing this and said, "I don't even consider these people a threat, so there's no need to trouble you."
"Alright—"
Can Dao knew Shen Lang's cultivation. When they fought before, Shen Lang was already at the mid-stage of the Profound realm, so he naturally wouldn't be incapable of dealing with these people.
However, Shen Lang had just saved his sister, so Can Dao, out of gratitude, always wanted to do something for Shen Lang.
"Don't worry, both of you will die. Don't rush."
Looking at Can Dao, Yuan Bubai said with immense anger, "Shen Lang is hateful, but you are also deserving of death. If it weren't for you, I would have not only killed Yang Ce but also Shen Lang."
"Today, whether it's you, Shen Lang, or Yang Ce, every single one of you will not leave here alive."
"Don't rush. After I kill Shen Lang, I will naturally kill you, and then kill Yang Ce."
With that, Yuan Bubai roared at the thirty silver-clad men, "Kill—"
"Whoosh—"
Upon hearing Yuan Bubai's command, the thirty silver-clad men's eyes simultaneously turned cold. They drew their sabers and attacked Shen Lang.
In the blink of an eye, thirty men attacked simultaneously. Truly, the blade light was like a flowing ribbon, and the momentum was overwhelming.
Everyone present, except for Shen Lang and Can Dao, was shocked by the combined aura of the thirty men's simultaneous attack. They turned pale with fear and exchanged worried glances.
"Sister, will Brother Shen be alright?"
Although Shen Lang was powerful, and Yu Fei had seen his strength more than once, seeing him surrounded by so many people still made her break out in a sweat. She asked Yu Xiao, "I... I don't know... He should be alright, right?"
Yu Xiao had never witnessed such a grand scene before and felt her confidence waver for a moment.
"Xiao Fei, Brother Shen came to save us. If he dies, I will accompany him in death."
Yu Xiao's eyes were resolute.
"Sister, I will too."
Seeing the determination in her sister's eyes, Yu Fei added, "If you and Brother Shen weren't in this world, then there would be nothing worth lingering for me."
Indeed, a world without Shen Lang and Yu Xiao would only bring pain and loneliness to Yu Fei, and she would not choose to live.
They were both people struggling in the mire of suffering. Without Shen Lang, they would have suffered forever, even to damnation.
It was Shen Lang who had rescued them from their struggles and pain. Towards Shen Lang, they felt gratitude, but more than that, they felt love—a love that came from the depths of their beings.
"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Fei, don't overthink it. I won't die."
After Shen Lang entered the Earth realm, his hearing, sense of smell, and vision were all greatly enhanced. Therefore, he clearly heard the conversation between Yu Xiao and Yu Fei.
Looking at the two sisters, Shen Lang smiled and spoke.
However, in his heart, Shen Lang was deeply moved.
"Brother Shen..."
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, Yu Xiao and Yu Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Since Shen Lang said this, he must have had confidence.
However, the fact that Shen Lang had overheard their whispered conversation made their pretty faces blush, and they lowered their heads even further.
"Kid, I truly don't know where you get your confidence from, thinking you can survive facing so many attackers. Who gave you that confidence?"
Seeing Shen Lang still fearless at this moment, Yuan Bubai became enraged and said, "Kid, are you truly unaware of death?"
"Yuan Bubai, I am very sad."
Shen Lang looked at Yuan Bubai and said, "I feel sad for you. You think the one who will die is me, unaware that the tide of death is already submerging over your head."
"Bang—"
"Bang—"
"Bang—"
As Shen Lang finished speaking, at that very moment, the thirty silver-clad men collapsed to the ground, their limbs limp and useless, lying sprawled on the ground.
"What... happened?"
Seeing the thirty bloodthirsty Yellow realm experts suddenly in such a state, Yuan Bubai's expression of triumph vanished, replaced by shock and fear.
However, when Yuan Bubai saw the small, emerald green bottle that had appeared in Shen Lang's hand at some unknown time, he immediately understood and roared, "Kid, you poisoned them?"
"You've found out, but it's too late."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Having been poisoned by me, even an elephant would become weak and listless. Therefore, your men can't kill me now."
"Is it 'All Beings Are Equal' again?"
When Can Dao saw the small, emerald green bottle in Shen Lang's hand, he immediately recalled how Shen Lang had used that small bottle of poison to incapacitate hundreds of Lin family subordinates at Lin Nianfo's birthday banquet.
Can Dao forcibly suppressed the effects of the poison, resulting in his internal wounds being torn open. The pain surged into his mind, almost compelling him to commit suicide with a single strike.
"This kid Shen Lang, as sinister as ever, and as difficult to guard against as ever."
Can Dao remarked, "If such a fellow were to become an enemy, one must seize an opportunity to strike him down with a single saber blow, otherwise, he will surely become a scourge."
"Whoosh—"
At this moment, Shen Lang brandished his Tang saber and struck at Yuan Bubai. Although Yuan Bubai tried his best to dodge, his peak Yellow realm cultivation was no match for Shen Lang. While dodging, he was struck by Shen Lang's saber across his chest, causing blood to gush out.
"No—"
Just as Shen Lang raised his saber, preparing to decapitate Yuan Bubai, Yuan Bubai looked at Shen Lang and shouted, "Kid, let me make a phone call. If you still kill me after the call is made, I will have no regrets."
"Alright—"
Upon hearing Yuan Bubai's words, Shen Lang smiled and said, "I'll give you this opportunity. Make the call."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yuan Bubai was overjoyed. He took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Young Master, someone is trying to kill me. I'm in danger. Save me."
As soon as the call was connected, Yuan Bubai cried out.
"Don't panic. Hand the phone over to the other party, I'll speak to him."
The voice on the other end of the phone was calm as it uttered a sentence.
Yuan Bubai nodded and handed the phone to Shen Lang. After Shen Lang activated the speakerphone, a man on the other end of the line spoke unhurriedly, "Hello, my name is Qi Tuojiang. Yuan Bubai is my man. Give me some face and spare his life."
"Hello, my name is Shen Lang. I don't give face."
After Shen Lang finished speaking, he swung his Tang saber. Yuan Bubai let out a scream of pain as his head flew three meters away.
