"Hey, you talk too much. If you want to fight, hurry up and do it. Stop spewing this irrelevant nonsense!"
Lu Yang said impatiently to Gu Yuetian, then swung his bone sword, slashing directly at Gu Yuetian.
This ancient sword was made from the bones of a great powerful being and possessed earth-shattering might. Gu Yuetian could feel the power of the bone sword and hurriedly dodged, not daring to confront it directly.
However, Lu Yang's speed was too fast. After dodging a few times, Gu Yuetian found himself with no escape and was instantly struck on the arm by the bone sword. Gu Yuetian's arm was severed from his body.
"Ah..."
Gu Yuetian roared and knelt on the ground. His severed arm lay on the ground, still twitching.
"Elder Gu actually lost? How is this possible?"
Everyone watched as Lu Yang severed Gu Yuetian's arm with a single sword strike, their eyes wide with disbelief.
"Elder Gu's cultivation is at the Grandmaster realm. He has no equal in Jinling. How could he lose to this young man in his twenties?"
"That's right. Elder Gu is the god in our hearts, with endless skills. How could he be defeated?"
"..."
Instantly, countless admirers of Gu Yuetian looked at him in disbelief. They couldn't understand why Gu Yuetian had lost, and to a young man in his twenties like Lu Yang.
Yang Wenbin's mouth hung open. Gu Yuetian was the Yang family's Grand Protector. Besides him, there was no one more powerful. To think that their Grand Protector would be defeated by Lu Yang. At this moment, Yang Wenbin understood why Lu Yang had spoken so casually earlier – he didn't take Yang Wenbin seriously at all. Moreover, judging by Lu Yang's methods, it seemed he hadn't even used his full strength to defeat Gu Yuetian.
"I have lost!"
Gu Yuetian sighed, as if he had aged a dozen years in an instant. His black hair had turned white, and his back had become even more stooped.
"Then are you ready to welcome death?"
Lu Yang looked at Gu Yuetian and continued to ask.
"What do you mean? I have already lost and become a cripple. Are you still going to kill me?"
Hearing Lu Yang's words, Gu Yuetian immediately raised his head and looked at Lu Yang coldly. He hadn't expected that even after admitting defeat, this young man intended to take his life.
"If I had lost, would you have let me go?"
"Therefore, killing you is the simplest and most brutal method!"
Lu Yang smiled indifferently and swung his bone sword towards Gu Yuetian's head. In Gu Yuetian's disbelieving gaze, the bone sword pierced his forehead, shredding his entire vital energy. He was dead beyond any doubt.
Seeing this, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. The esteemed Elder Gu Yuetian, who had been influential for decades, had just died in the hands of a youth.
"Patriarch Yang, it is your turn now!"
"I told you earlier to take your people and leave, and I would let bygones be bygones. But you didn't listen and insisted on confronting me head-on. Now that your Grand Protector has been killed by me, it's time to send you on your way!"
Lu Yang looked at Yang Wenbin and sneered.
"You... you can't kill me? I am the patriarch of the Yang family in Jinling City. I am protected by the state. If you kill me, you will pay with your life!"
Hearing Lu Yang's words, Yang Wenbin was so frightened that he took several steps back and said coldly.
"Pay with my life? Hasn't your Yang family done enough wrong over the years? Let alone killing you once, even killing you ten times would be justified!"
Lu Yang raised his bone sword and pointed it directly at Yang Wenbin.
"You... you dare to touch me?"
"I'm calling the director of the Jinling City Police Department right now. I'm going to have you, this murderer, arrested!"
Yang Wenbin, in a state of panic, quickly took out his phone and made a call.
Lu Yang didn't rush to act. He let Yang Wenbin finish his performance. Killing the heart was the effect Lu Yang sought.
"Director Liu, something has happened!"
"I encountered a villain at the entrance of the Chinese branch of the Hongmen. He has already killed our Yang family's Grand Protector and is now trying to kill me. Hurry up and bring your people! I will be at the mercy of this villain soon!"
Yang Wenbin yelled into the phone.
"What? This kind of thing has happened? You wait, I'll bring my men over immediately!"
Hearing this, Liu Heping, the director of the Jinling City Police Department, immediately gathered his men and rushed towards the Chinese branch of the Hongmen.
Upon hearing Yang Wenbin's words, many people cast disdainful glances at him.
After all, the matter between Yang Wenbin and the Chinese branch of the Hongmen was a matter of the martial world, and it should be resolved within the martial world, without involving the relevant authorities. It was truly despicable that Yang Wenbin had involved the police department.
"Alas, the patriarch of the Yang family is actually like this. I always thought he was a tough guy, but now it seems he's just a coward!"
"Exactly. The Yang family is nothing special. They claim to be one of the four great families of Jinling City, but it's all just empty fame!"
"In the face of life and death, those who cling to survival should learn to keep their tails between their legs from now on!"
"..."
Many people from the martial world, disgusted by Yang Wenbin's actions, began to whisper their disapproval.
However, Yang Wenbin remained oblivious to their words. His only thought now was to survive. As long as the police department arrived, they would immediately arrest Lu Yang. Even if Lu Yang had three heads and six arms, he would still die, especially since everyone had witnessed Lu Yang killing Gu Yuetian in broad daylight.
"Kid, you just wait for death. When the director of the police department arrives, you and everyone behind you will die!"
"You are far from my match. This is Jinling City, not a place where you can just kill people at will!"
After finishing the call, Yang Wenbin looked at Lu Yang with disdain and shouted.
"Oh? Is that so? Then I won't kill you for now. When your reinforcements arrive, I'll let them witness your death right before my eyes!"
Lu Yang said calmly, then put away his bone sword, waiting for the arrival of the Jinling City Police Department.
"Boss, perhaps you should leave first. This Yang Wenbin is not playing by the rules, involving the police department in a martial world dispute!"
"If the police department comes, this matter will become quite troublesome. You should leave here first, and I will handle the rest!"
Hearing the conversation between Yang Wenbin and Lu Yang, Su Wenlong immediately stepped forward and said to Lu Yang.
"It's fine."
Lu Yang said lightly. His status was now extraordinary. Even if the mayor of Jinling City came, he was determined to kill Yang Wenbin today.
"But..."
Su Wenlong wanted to say more, but seeing Lu Yang's calm expression, he swallowed his words.
Ten minutes later, four police cars had stopped at the entrance of the Chinese Hongmen headquarters. More than a dozen police officers in uniform alighted from the cars, each carrying firearms and ready to shoot.
