The sudden turn of events startled Nangong Yi, who exclaimed,
"Zhang Yang! Why are you here!"
Zhang Yang ignored him. His eyes quickly scanned the private room. Soon, he spotted Han Xiyao, who had fallen to the floor, her expression dazed, her hands constantly stroking her body!
"Nangong Yi, I'll cripple you, you bastard!"
Zhang Yang's fury erupted, and he roared. Then, the true qi within him surged to his feet. With a powerful kick, he struck Nangong Yi directly in the chest.
*Bang!*
With a single kick, Nangong Yi's chest caved in. As his body flew backward, he spewed a mouthful of blood. After kicking him away, Zhang Yang quickly approached Han Xiyao. He took her pulse and, upon discovering she had been drugged with an aphrodisiac, Zhang Yang's anger intensified. He hurriedly held Han Xiyao's hand and injected his true qi into her body.
Simultaneously, silver needles flew from Zhang Yang's hand as he swiftly began acupuncture. However, despite Zhang Yang's various methods, he could only temporarily delay the effects of the aphrodisiac on Han Xiyao. He was unable to completely neutralize its potency!
At this moment, Han Xiyao, her senses muddled, felt the strong male presence beside her. Her hands involuntarily wrapped around Zhang Yang, and her lips moved towards him. Zhang Yang tilted his head to avoid Han Xiyao's kiss. In desperation, he struck Han Xiyao's neck with a chop. He needed to make her lose consciousness for a while.
As for himself, Zhang Yang walked directly towards Nangong Yi. Nangong Yi's actions today had crossed Zhang Yang's bottom line.
"Zhang... Zhang Yang, what... what do you want to do!" Nangong Yi stammered fearfully. The kick he had just received from Zhang Yang was so painful he couldn't stand. Seeing Zhang Yang approaching him with a furious expression, he was utterly terrified. Unable to stand, Nangong Yi braced himself with his hands and shuffled backward.
"You've done wrong, and you must pay the price!" Zhang Yang said in a low, furious voice.
"No... Zhang Yang, let's talk. I know I was wrong..."
"Give me another chance, I... Ah!"
Before Nangong Yi could finish his plea, the sound of bones breaking echoed. His limbs bent at unnatural angles under Zhang Yang's brute force. The entire private room was filled with Nangong Yi's agonizing screams. However, Zhang Yang, his eyes bloodshot and his heart burning with rage, had no intention of letting Nangong Yi off the hook!
The next moment, he stomped directly on Nangong Yi's crotch.
*Crack.*
The sound of crushed testicles rang out. Nangong Yi, in unbearable pain, fainted. He lay on the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing. After finishing, Zhang Yang's furious expression finally eased slightly. He quickly turned, picked up the unconscious Han Xiyao, and prepared to leave the Sheraton Hotel.
But... the next moment, more than a dozen thugs in black attire suddenly rushed into the private room. Following them was Sun Guohao, his head crudely bandaged. He pointed at Zhang Yang and shouted fiercely!
"It's him! All of you, go! Break his limbs and then throw him out of the Sheraton Hotel..."
Before he could finish, Sun Guohao's expression suddenly turned panicked. Because he saw Nangong Yi, lying on the floor, unconscious, with a pool of blood beneath his crotch.
"This..."
"Young Master Nangong! Quick, all of you, come and help!" Sun Guohao rushed towards Nangong Yi in a frenzy. Upon discovering Nangong Yi's limbs were broken and even his reproductive organs were shattered, he turned pale and trembled all over.
"It's over, it's all over..."
"The sky is about to fall! Quick, don't let him escape, capture him!" Sun Guohao hastily ordered. He then took out his phone and shakily reported the incident.
Under Sun Guohao's command, the thugs charged at Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang, who had already exited the private room, suddenly felt danger approaching from behind. He quickly turned. Holding Han Xiyao in his arms, his legs became a blur. With a series of kicks and sweeps, *bang bang bang* – soon, all the more than ten thugs who had rushed at him were kicked to the ground.
He stared at them with a sinister gaze and said coldly,
"If you dare to come forward again, your fate will be no better than Nangong Yi's!"
With that, Zhang Yang turned and headed downstairs. This was the enemy's territory, so Zhang Yang chose not to take the elevator. Instead, he carried Han Xiyao and quickly descended the stairs from the sixth floor.
Watching Zhang Yang's retreating back, Sun Guohao shivered. Clearly, he was also intimidated by Zhang Yang's combat prowess. But at this moment, he absolutely could not back down. Otherwise, his own fate would not be much better!
"What are you all wailing about, chase him! We can't let him escape!"
After shouting, Sun Guohao also took out his phone and summoned all the hotel thugs to gather on the first floor. Furthermore, he immediately notified the security at the hotel entrance to close the main doors. Zhang Yang absolutely could not be allowed to leave!
...
Soon, Zhang Yang, descending the stairs, also noticed that something was amiss. At this moment, the corridor on the second floor was crowded with many guests. Clearly, they had heard the commotion and were coming out to watch. In the hotel lobby on the first floor, the original hotel staff had all disappeared. Only fifty to sixty thugs were waiting for Zhang Yang, fully prepared.
And in front of these thugs stood a young woman. The woman was tall and elegantly dressed. Her face bore a five-point resemblance to Nangong Yi. However, at this moment, the young woman's beautiful face was so grim it looked like it could drip water! Beside this woman stood an old man in a Tang suit.
It seemed these people were waiting for him. Zhang Yang felt no pressure and smiled dismissively. Then, he walked down the stairs to the first floor. Coincidentally, Sun Guohao, who had just come down in the elevator, was also approaching the young woman with the unconscious Nangong Yi.
"M-Miss, Young Master Nangong..." Sun Guohao, who was second only to the young woman in power at the Sheraton, couldn't even complete a sentence in front of her. This showed how noble the young woman's status was!
"You take Xiao Yi to the hospital first. I'll handle this person myself." Nangong Ting glanced at the battered Nangong Yi and instructed calmly. However, those familiar with Nangong Ting knew that she was very angry right now. This was the prelude to a storm!
In an instant, in the lobby on the first floor, everyone except Zhang Yang flinched at Nangong Ting's anger and dared not speak. Even the old man beside Nangong Ting had a serious expression.
At the same time, the guests watching from the second floor exclaimed,
"It's Nangong Ting!"
"So the Nangong family is behind the Sheraton Hotel!"
"No wonder they were able to make the Sheraton the leading hotel in Jiangnan City in such a short time!"
"It looks like this young man is in for a terrible night."
"..."
All these voices reached Zhang Yang's ears. It seemed the Nangong family's influence was quite significant, enough to make all the hotel guests regard him as a fierce tiger. However, Zhang Yang was unconcerned. How could a dignified man be intimidated by a woman! He glanced at Nangong Ting in front of him and said coldly,
"Move aside! Don't block my way!"
Nangong Ting sneered repeatedly.
"Heh, you beat up my brother and you think you can just walk away?"
"Do you really think my Nangong family is easy to bully!"
"All of you, attack him! Beat him to death! I'll take responsibility for anything that happens!" Nangong Ting waved her hand! The thugs behind her immediately clenched their fists and swarmed towards Zhang Yang.
In an instant, Zhang Yang, holding Han Xiyao, was surrounded. He was attacked from the front and back. However, there was no fear in Zhang Yang's eyes, only disdain. These so-called Nangong family members were all bad eggs. What kind of brother would have such a sister. Without even inquiring about the reason for the incident, they wanted to capture him. Since that was the case, Zhang Yang wouldn't be polite either!
He turned his passive situation into an active one and charged directly at these thugs! Even with Han Xiyao in his arms, it didn't affect his speed. In the crowd, Zhang Yang moved like a dragon. Every time he lifted his leg, someone would be kicked to the ground. Gradually, the onlookers discovered that none of the Nangong family's thugs could stand!
*Hiss~*
Immediately, gasps of cold air erupted. The guests on the second floor stared at Zhang Yang downstairs with astonishment. Some guests who had previously thought Zhang Yang was doomed now felt their faces burning.
"This young man's skills are so remarkable!"
"No wonder he dared to cause trouble at the Sheraton, he actually has some ability!"
"..."
At this moment, it wasn't just the guests on the second floor who were surprised by Zhang Yang's skills. Even Nangong Ting herself was slightly surprised. The thugs in the Sheraton Hotel were all retired special forces soldiers. Generally speaking, one of them could handle five or six hoodlums without any problem. Yet, so many of them against Zhang Yang not only failed to subdue him but were all taken down by Zhang Yang!
"Is this all the renowned Nangong family is capable of? If so, then get out of the way!" Zhang Yang said dismissively. With that, Zhang Yang, carrying Han Xiyao, continued towards the hotel entrance.
"Did I say you could leave?" Nangong Ting's voice was low. As she stopped Zhang Yang, she nodded to the old man in the Tang suit beside her.
"Elder Sun, the opponent has some skill, so I'll have to trouble you to personally handle this." The old man in the Tang suit understood immediately. With his hands behind his back, he strode towards Zhang Yang.
Seeing this, the guests on the second floor had veins bulging on their foreheads. They had all heard that the Nangong family supported a group of powerful martial artists. It was precisely because of these martial artists that the Nangong family could have a place in the provincial capital. Earlier, the guests had seen Nangong Ting's respectful attitude towards the old man and could guess that this old man in the Tang suit was undoubtedly one of the martial artists supported by the Nangong family. It seemed Zhang Yang was still destined to die this time.
At the same time, the old man in the Tang suit walked up to Zhang Yang. His gaze was exceptionally arrogant. The moment he spoke, he began to critique Zhang Yang.
"Not bad, to have such skills at such a young age, but it's a pity..."
"You've provoked someone you shouldn't have, otherwise, I would have liked to take you as my disciple."
Zhang Yang frowned. Were all members of the Nangong family so arrogant? Sun Guohao just now also thought he was superior. Now, another old man appeared, actually claiming he wanted to take him as a disciple.
"Old man, has anyone told you that you're very narcissistic?" Zhang Yang immediately raised an eyebrow.
"You? You want to take me as your disciple? Are you worthy?"
With that, Zhang Yang struck first, kicking directly at the old man in the Tang suit.
"Hmph, a presumptuous brat like this deserves to die!" The old man in the Tang suit's expression darkened. He stepped forward, using a grappling technique to try and catch Zhang Yang's flying kick. But the next moment, his outstretched hand was directly kicked and fractured by Zhang Yang.
Then, Zhang Yang's attack did not diminish. He kicked the old man in the face, sending him tumbling backward! This! With one move, Zhang Yang disabled the old man in the Tang suit. This outcome shocked everyone again. Zhang Yang seemed outrageously strong! Even the martial artist supported by the Nangong family was no match for him!
Nangong Ting also found it unacceptable! She was well aware of the old man's strength. But how could even he be so easily defeated by Zhang Yang?
"This... how is this possible!" Nangong Ting exclaimed in shock.
"What's impossible about it? It's your Nangong family that's too self-important." Zhang Yang said dismissively. After speaking, he brushed past Nangong Ting and prepared to leave the Sheraton Hotel.
"Stop! Did I say you could leave?" Nangong Ting shouted. However, Zhang Yang had no intention of looking back. He continued towards the entrance. This time, Nangong Ting was completely enraged.
"The woman in your arms, isn't she Han Xiyao of the Han family?"
"If you dare to leave today, do you believe I can make the Han family disappear from Jiangnan City!"
"And I won't let Han Xiyao go either. I, Nangong Ting, swear I will make her life worse than death!"
This! Nangong Ting's threat immediately sent chills down the spines of the guests watching from the second floor. They couldn't help but recall the fate of those who had offended the Nangong family in the past. Zhang Yang, who had reached the entrance, also stopped. He suddenly turned back and said in a low voice,
"You woman, you are so malicious! Tonight's incident was clearly Nangong Yi's fault!"
Seeing that Zhang Yang was intimidated, Nangong Ting regained her confidence. She sneered, tilting her head, and said,
"I don't care who is right or wrong, I only know that someone must take responsibility for my brother's situation."
"I must admit, you fight well, and I can't stop you today!"
"But you must understand, when dawn breaks, can the Han family withstand the wrath of the Nangong family!"
Zhang Yang's gaze turned cold, and he turned back towards Nangong Ting. Seeing this, Nangong Ting subconsciously took two steps back. However, thinking she couldn't lose face, she quickly steadied herself. She looked directly at Zhang Yang and said, "What, you still want to hit me?"
"I don't hit women, but I'll give you a warning."
"If the Nangong family dares to lay a hand on Xiyao, then your Nangong family will not have peace either!" Zhang Yang threatened. But this threat, in Nangong Ting's eyes, was like a joke. In her perception, Zhang Yang was just a reckless man with some fighting skills but no background. As for Han Xiyao in his arms and the Han family, Nangong Ting didn't take them seriously at all.
"Heh, I advise you not to think too highly of yourself!" Nangong Ting sneered.
"Before the report on my brother's injuries comes out, you'd better not go anywhere!"
Zhang Yang sneered dismissively.
"Fine, then I'll stay and see what your Nangong family can do to me!"
After agreeing, Zhang Yang turned and continued towards the hotel entrance. He kicked through the hotel's glass door and handed Han Xiyao to Shen Ling, whom he had called. Zhang Yang intended to have Shen Ling take Han Xiyao back first. As for himself, he would stay and have a good time with Nangong Ting!
But Nangong Ting was not willing. She spoke again.
"Han Xiyao is also not allowed to leave. She must stay! Otherwise, I will personally go to the Han family tomorrow to demand her!"
This time, it completely angered Zhang Yang. He immediately turned and glared at Nangong Ting, "Don't push your luck!"
"So what if I push my luck? My Nangong family has the ability to be pushy!" Nangong Ting sneered disdainfully, very arrogantly.
Zhang Yang took a deep breath. He signaled Shen Ling to ignore Nangong Ting and to take Han Xiyao away first. As for himself, he walked towards Nangong Ting with a grim expression and said coldly,
"It seems I have to retract my earlier statement about not hitting women!"
