Lei Bao's speed was extremely fast, and his martial arts were cultivated to a very high level. For many years, Lei Bao had followed Mo Qingyun everywhere, committing all sorts of crimes, from murder to theft, and there was no villainy he wouldn't dare to commit. Among the martial artists who fell by Lei Bao's hands, there were easily eight to nine thousand.
Therefore, Lei Bao had long ago honed a set of martial skills, all of which were killing techniques.
Lei Bao threw a punch towards Hua Zixuan. Hua Zixuan had not anticipated Lei Bao's skill to be so sharp and quickly drew out his bone sword to defend himself. However, Lei Bao easily dodged it and then aimed his fist at Hua Zixuan's abdomen.
Hua Zixuan suddenly retreated, dodging Lei Bao's punch. He then swung his bone sword again, attacking Lei Bao.
It was a pity that Hua Zixuan could only unleash thirty percent of the bone sword's combat power, which was far from Lei Bao's level. Even though Lei Bao had no weapon, Hua Zixuan was still at a disadvantage, being pressured and beaten by Lei Bao.
Finally, Hua Zixuan exposed a weakness and was kicked in the chest by Lei Bao. With a "bang," he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Lei Bao did not give Hua Zixuan any chance to react and directly threw a rapid punch towards Hua Zixuan's head, intending to kill him with a single blow.
"From now on, there will be no more Hua family in Zhonghai!"
Lei Bao's lips curled into a cruel smile, and his heavy fist, like a sledgehammer, swung down towards Hua Zixuan's head.
"Mr. Lu, please save my elder brother, Hua Zixuan. My uncle only has this one son!"
"Mr. Lu, please make a move!"
"Mr. Lu, the Sifang Tower is too arrogant. The Hua family can only rely on Mr. Lu to take action!"
"..."
Seeing this, all members of the Hua family immediately pleaded with Lu Yang.
"Fine, since I have protected the Hua family, I will save this Hua Zixuan!"
Lu Yang took a deep breath and said calmly, then the true qi throughout his body instantly erupted, terrifying to the extreme.
Just as the fist was about to land on Hua Zixuan, a terrifying surge of true qi emanated from Lu Yang, sending Lei Bao flying backward.
"Half-step Divine Realm?"
Lei Bao, thrown back by a breath of force, instantly felt the terror.
He had only felt this aura from his master. He immediately looked around, finally fixing his gaze on Lu Yang.
"Such a young half-step Divine Realm expert?"
Lei Bao looked at Lu Yang in disbelief. He had not expected the Hua family to find such a young half-step Divine Realm expert. It was simply astonishing to Lei Bao.
Lei Bao's master, Mo Qingyun, had cultivated diligently for sixty years before breaking through to Grandmaster level in martial arts and entering the half-step Divine Realm. In the entire Huaguo, besides Mo Qingyun, Lei Bao had never seen any other half-step Divine Realm expert. It could be said that his master was among the strongest individuals of the current generation. But now, seeing Lu Yang, a half-step Divine Realm expert in his early twenties, made it impossible for Lei Bao to remain calm.
This meant that there were definitely more than just Lu Yang as a half-step Divine Realm expert in Huaguo, and perhaps many more great masters. Some masters might have even reached the Divine Realm or higher cultivation levels, considering how young Lu Yang was, it forced Lei Bao to think more deeply.
"Who are you? Are you trying to obstruct the grievances between our Sifang Tower and the Hua family?"
Although Lei Bao was inwardly fearful, his aura did not falter. He looked at Lu Yang and asked coldly.
"I have protected the Hua family. Go back and tell your Sifang Tower Master not to set foot in Zhonghai again, otherwise, I don't mind killing him personally!"
Lu Yang looked at Lei Bao and said coldly.
"What?"
"What big talk! Do you really think your cultivation is so great that no one can match you?"
"Our Sifang Tower Master is also a half-step Divine Realm cultivator, and he has been cultivating at that level for many years. A young person like you, even if your cultivation was boosted by spiritual medicine, would not be a match for my master. I advise you not to meddle in other people's affairs, lest you bring trouble upon yourself!"
Lei Bao was naturally not afraid of Lu Yang's threat and roared back coldly.
"Since that's the case, it seems I need to show some skill for you to yield!"
Lu Yang sneered and casually sent a wind blade flying, cutting towards Lei Bao.
Seeing the wind blade, Lei Bao's face instantly changed, and he quickly dodged to the side.
However, the speed of the wind blade was too fast. Even though Lei Bao forcefully dodged it, he was still grazed on the arm by the wind blade. His wrist instantly snapped, and the wind blade severed it from his body.
"Ah..."
Lei Bao cried out in agony.
"Can you leave now?"
Lu Yang said coldly.
"Kid, you wait! The Sifang Tower will not let you off!"
Lei Bao uttered a harsh threat and, holding his severed hand, left the Hua family villa.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for saving my life!"
"Here is your bone sword, returned to you in its entirety!"
Hua Zixuan was deeply shocked by Lu Yang's abilities. With a casual wave, he had crippled the once arrogant Lei Bao. Such power was truly formidable. Even his father might not last ten moves against Lu Yang.
"Mr. Lu is omnipotent, truly a half-step Divine Realm master. There is no one in the entire Huaguo who can surpass him!"
"Indeed, Mr. Lu's methods are truly awe-inspiring. I have cultivated martial arts for over forty years and never imagined there was such a powerful figure in the world. It has truly opened my eyes!"
"With Mr. Lu guarding the Hua family, even if the Sifang Tower Master himself were to come, he would be suppressed and killed by Mr. Lu!"
"..."
The Hua family members were all excited, showering Lu Yang with flattery.
However, Lu Yang remained unfazed and walked in with Hua Zixuan.
"Lu Yang, are you alright?"
Shen Yiman asked with concern as she saw Lu Yang return.
"It's nothing, just a mere clown!"
Lu Yang smiled faintly.
"That's good!"
Shen Yiman nodded, then followed Lu Yang to the dining room. It was time for lunch, and the Hua family had prepared a sumptuous meal. Both of them ate very well. Zhonghai's cuisine was truly a top culinary capital in Huaguo, with countless varieties of delicious food and snacks. To show their hospitality, the Hua family had prepared a table full of dishes, a total of eighty-nine dishes, along with various snacks and fruits, making it extremely abundant.
Both of them ate very comfortably and satisfied their appetites.
"Mr. Lu, the suites have been prepared. You and Miss Shen can rest now!"
After the meal, Hua Zixuan said to Lu Yang.
"En!"
Lu Yang nodded and was soon led into a presidential suite. Inside the suite, there was only one large bedroom, making it clear that Hua Zixuan had prepared one bed for Lu Yang and Shen Yiman.
"This..."
Lu Yang touched the back of his head, feeling a bit awkward and unsure of what to do.
