"Go for it!"
Zhao Baogang shouted, and together with Hu Xingkai, they attacked Lu Yang again. Their coordination was seamless, and this time they brought their teamwork to the extreme. The tip of the Overlord Spear spun, aiming for Lu Yang's head, while Zhao Baogang's fists moved, targeting Lu Yang's legs. One high, one low, they intended to defeat Lu Yang with their combined force. Regardless of which hand was injured, Lu Yang would be crippled, leaving him at their mercy.
However, they still underestimated Lu Yang. At his level of cultivation, he paid no mind to their petty tricks. Lu Yang's eyes were filled with indifference. He lowered his body, adopted a horse stance, and executed the movements of Baguazhang. His hands transformed into palms, striking towards the Overlord Spear, while his legs remained rooted like ancient trees, unmoving. Zhao Baogang's Tongbei Quan landed on Lu Yang's legs, but he remained as steady as ever, as if cotton had hit his legs, causing no damage whatsoever.
Meanwhile, Lu Yang's palm had sent Hu Xingkai's Overlord Spear flying, embedding itself in the wall with only the tip exposed, impossible to pull out.
Under Hu Xingkai's shocked gaze, Lu Yang's second palm followed, striking directly towards Hu Xingkai's forehead.
"Old Hu, run!"
Zhao Baogang shouted immediately upon seeing this.
But it was too late for Hu Xingkai to escape. Lu Yang's palm struck his forehead, instantly shattering his entire head. Blood streamed from his seven orifices, and he fell to the ground, undeniably dead.
"Old Hu!"
Seeing Hu Xingkai killed by a single palm, Zhao Baogang was filled with extreme fear. He quickly tried to retreat, but Lu Yang wouldn't let him go. He extended both hands, grabbed Zhao Baogang's arm, which was like steel, and with a forceful tug, tore it from his body.
"Ah..."
Zhao Baogang screamed loudly. Lu Yang kicked him away, sending him crashing heavily to the ground, his fate unknown.
In less than ten minutes, Lu Yang had broken the combined assault of Hu Xingkai and Zhao Baogang, leaving one dead and the other injured, crushing the conspiracy against him.
"Now, what other tricks do you have? Bring them out!"
Lu Yang sneered, looking at Xiao Wuji and Bai Jingying.
"Lu Yang, you... you..."
Xiao Wuji stared at Lu Yang, unable to utter a single word.
Bai Jingying's face turned deathly pale. She had intended to avenge all their past grievances, only to have all their meticulous plans shattered by Lu Yang. Now, they were utterly helpless.
"If not, then I will say this: from now on, all of you will each pay ten billion yuan and get out of Jiangbei City. Otherwise, no one leaves this place today!"
Lu Yang said coldly to everyone.
"Lu Yang, what do you mean by that? You injured our people, and even killed the head of the Hongmen's Yanjing branch, and now you want us to each pay ten billion? Are you trying to finish us all off here!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Jingying immediately roared.
"Then let me finish you off. Since I'm killing people today, adding you won't make much difference!"
Lu Yang sneered.
Hearing this, Bai Jingying's face instantly changed, and she quickly took two steps back.
"Lu Yang, you want to take my money too?"
At this moment, Ling Que Wang stood up and asked Lu Yang coldly.
"Ling Que Wang!"
"Since you are here, it means you are here to back them up. If you are backing them up, then you are the same as them. Not a penny less!"
Lu Yang replied directly.
"Lu Yang, since you know my identity, are you not afraid I will annihilate your entire family by speaking to me like this?"
Ling Que Wang's expression turned cold, and she asked Lu Yang.
"If you have the ability, then come at me!"
Lu Yang sneered.
"You court death!"
Ling Que Wang shouted, clenched her fist, and threw a punch at Lu Yang. The punch was as powerful as a collapsing mountain, and its force was both hard and soft. Although Ling Que Wang was a woman, her punch was invincible, carrying an aura of sweeping across all directions.
"The Shen family's punch, truly formidable!"
Lu Yang smiled slightly and also threw a punch, colliding with Ling Que Wang's force. The two forces met, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze before erupting with a sudden explosive sound, making everyone's eardrums feel like they would burst.
A single punch, an even match.
"Impressive, Ling Que Wang. In just half a month, you've reached such heights in your cultivation. Truly remarkable!"
Lu Yang exclaimed. If he hadn't absorbed Watanabe Ichiro's spiritual energy, he wouldn't have been able to block this punch. It was evident that the four leaders of China's special departments each had their own inheritance and were all incredibly powerful. Even with the Black Dragon Token, Lu Yang couldn't unleash its true power without anyone's help, thus his growth was relatively slow. This entire cultivation was achieved through his own arduous training.
"Your growth rate is truly astonishing, but it is fitting for your status!"
Ling Que Wang sneered and threw another punch at Lu Yang.
Lu Yang was naturally not one to be easily subdued. He directly unleashed the Black Dragon Eighteen Forms, believing that only the Black Dragon Eighteen Forms could defeat Ling Que Wang. After all, Ling Que Wang's techniques were family secrets, and ordinary moves couldn't defeat them.
As Lu Yang performed the Black Dragon Eighteen Forms, although they appeared very ordinary, like practicing Tai Chi, each punch was slow, and the movements were simple, they exuded an aura of grandeur. Even Ling Que Wang frowned slightly.
"The Lu family's ancestral method?"
"You actually obtained this. Could it be that you can easily defeat so many experts!"
Seeing Lu Yang's techniques, Ling Que Wang's expression instantly changed, and she said coldly. However, she did not take the Black Dragon Eighteen Forms Lu Yang was performing lightly and immediately engaged him in a close fight.
Ling Que Wang had been in seclusion for half a month, and her cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. Furthermore, she was from the Cheng family, and had been groomed as a candidate for Ling Que Wang since childhood, nourished by various spiritual medicines, making her body incredibly strong. After the spiritual infusion from the previous Ling Que Wang, Ling Que Wang's power awakened instantly, allowing her to raise her cultivation to the peak Grandmaster level in just half a month, only a hair's breadth away from Lu Yang.
But it was this hair's breadth that sealed Ling Que Wang's fate as Lu Yang's opponent. Even though Lu Yang was no longer suppressing his cultivation against Ling Que Wang, the sheer display of the Black Dragon Eighteen Forms was enough for Ling Que Wang to be unable to withstand it.
