A punch was thrown, and the first stance of the Black Dragon Eighteen Forms directly sent the Spirit Sparrow King staggering back five to six meters.
"Huh? I didn't expect your boxing to be this powerful. It seems I underestimated you, and the Lu family's heritage. But what does that matter?"
The Spirit Sparrow King's expression changed, and his body instantly transformed into a nimble spirit sparrow, charging directly at Lu Yang. His impact speed was so extreme that even Lu Yang couldn't execute such a light and swift movement. He could only rely on his protective qi and fists to constantly defend against the Spirit Sparrow King's attacks.
However, although this speed was fast, the Spirit Sparrow King was still young and couldn't sustain it for long. His speed had already slowed down. Lu Yang saw an opportunity and threw a punch towards the Spirit Sparrow King's chest. At the same time, the Spirit Sparrow King kicked Lu Yang in the abdomen, and both of them were sent flying backward.
As Lu Yang's body neared the ground, he performed a rolling maneuver and sprang back up. The Spirit Sparrow King, however, suddenly soared into the air, stabilizing his body, and landed firmly on the ground.
"It's been a long time since I've encountered such a formidable opponent. Let's go again!"
Lu Yang sneered, his blood surging. His Black Dragon Eighteen Forms were meant to be refined and improved through combat, allowing his divine abilities to fuse better with his body. This was also why Lu Yang enjoyed fighting.
The Spirit Sparrow King's techniques were precisely what he needed to temper his current cultivation, solidify his power, and make his fist energy more unpretentious and magnificent.
Just as the two were locked in a fierce and inseparable battle, Lu Yang suddenly felt a threat. He quickly slammed a palm towards the Spirit Sparrow King's chest. The Spirit Sparrow King, thinking Lu Yang was trying to gain the upper hand, also threw a punch. Both were hit by their opponent and sent flying in opposite directions. When they moved away from their original positions, two bullets exploded where they had just been. Two deep marks appeared on the ground, clearly indicating the work of large-caliber sniper rifles. Ordinary sniper rifles wouldn't have achieved such an effect.
The enemy had clearly come prepared. They knew that both Lu Yang and the Spirit Sparrow King were formidable experts, and if they were too close, they would be discovered, leaving no opportunity to strike. Therefore, they chose these large-caliber sniper rifles, which could still hit the target from a distance.
However, their plan had failed when they encountered Lu Yang. Lu Yang's abilities far exceeded their imagination. Even from such a distance, the moment they pulled the trigger, Lu Yang sensed the danger and reacted quickly. Even though he took a punch from the Spirit Sparrow King, he prevented the Spirit Sparrow King from dying by the sniper's shot.
"Not good, there are assassins!"
Seeing this, the Spirit Sparrow King's expression instantly changed. He immediately leaped from his previous position to another. The sniper, clearly not intending to let them go, fired two more shots. However, for them, who had already discovered the sniper, dodging them was easy.
The sniper, seeing his plan foiled, also withdrew without further attempts to snipe.
"What's going on? Was this your doing?"
The Spirit Sparrow King looked at Xiao Wuji and Bai Jingying and asked coldly.
"This..."
"Spirit Sparrow King, let me explain. It was just for foolproof security, but I didn't expect this assassin to have received mistaken orders and actually attacked you. I'll immediately find someone to kill this assassin and avenge you!"
Xiao Wuji quickly explained to the Spirit Sparrow King.
"No need. It seems you've collaborated with Shao Shanfeng?"
"Don't you know that Shao Shanfeng is an enemy of the country?"
The Spirit Sparrow King looked at Xiao Wuji and asked coldly.
"Spirit Sparrow King, we did collaborate with Shao Shanfeng, but it was for our own interests, only to assassinate Lu Yang. We had no other intentions, so please discern the truth, Spirit Sparrow King!"
Xiao Wuji said hastily.
"Do you know who Shao Shanfeng is? He is a traitor to the country, and every citizen of China has the right to eliminate him. How dare you collaborate with such a person and treat me, the Spirit Sparrow King, as nothing?"
The Spirit Sparrow King looked at Xiao Wuji and asked coldly.
"Spirit Sparrow King, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect things to turn out like this. I will definitely give you a satisfactory account!"
Xiao Wuji trembled all over and quickly explained.
At that time, people from the Dark Night Skeleton had found him and proposed a collaboration. Xiao Wuji then revealed their entire plan. He didn't realize that he was merely a pawn, completely used by others, and ended up in such a state.
"You don't need to give me an account. This time, you have crossed my bottom line. From today onwards, I, the Spirit Sparrow King, will sever ties with your Yan Jing families!"
The Spirit Sparrow King said coldly, his gaze then shifting to Lu Yang.
"Lu Yang, thank you for this. I owe you a favor!"
After speaking, the Spirit Sparrow King directly left the Guoxing Hotel.
"This Spirit Sparrow King actually has a softer side!"
Lu Yang said with a smile.
"Each of you, ten billion. Pay up immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Lu Yang looked at Xiao Wuji and Bai Jingying coldly and said.
"Lu Yang, you're ruthless!"
"I'll give you ten billion!"
Bai Jingying shouted coldly and took out her phone to transfer the money.
"Ten billion?"
"Can't you count? I said ten billion each. You brought five people, so that's fifty billion!"
After receiving Bai Jingying's ten billion, Lu Yang immediately sneered and continued.
"Fifty billion? You're robbing me!"
Hearing this, Bai Jingying's face turned cold. Fifty billion was an enormous sum for her, not something she could easily afford.
"You can choose not to pay, or I'll tear off both your arms!"
Lu Yang said with a cold smile.
Hearing this, Bai Jingying's face turned ashen. However, in front of Lu Yang, she had no confidence in leaving here safely. She could only grit her teeth and call her family, transferring all fifty billion to Lu Yang.
"Alright, you can leave now!"
Seeing the money arrive, Lu Yang sneered and let Bai Jingying and her entourage go.
"Lu Yang, you're ruthless. I'll give you a hundred billion, and this matter will be settled!"
Xiao Wuji looked at Lu Yang coldly and said.
"One hundred billion?"
"What are you thinking?"
"Two hundred billion, not a cent less!"
Lu Yang looked directly at Xiao Wuji and said with a cold smile.
"Didn't you say ten billion each? Why are you charging me two hundred billion?"
Hearing Lu Yang's words, Xiao Wuji retorted immediately.
"For these two people, fifty billion each is not excessive, right? I almost died by their hands, so I'm just collecting some interest!"
Lu Yang looked at Hu Xingkai and Zhao Baogang, who were lying on the ground, one dead and one injured, and said.
"You..."
Hearing Lu Yang's words, Xiao Wuji's face turned green with anger. He didn't expect Lu Yang to be so despicable, demanding fifty billion for someone he had already killed.
"Pay the money, or I can't guarantee what I'll do!"
Lu Yang said coldly.
"I'll pay, I'll pay!"
Seeing Lu Yang's expression change, Xiao Wuji quickly said, transferring the entire one hundred billion to Lu Yang.
