Seeing this, Hu Junjie's face and Elder Lin's faces were filled with extreme fear. They knew the strength of the鷹爪 old man. Even a minor master couldn't gain any advantage from the 鷹爪 old man's hands. Unexpectedly, today they were crippled by an unknown young man.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you injure someone from the Hongmen Yan Jing branch!"
Hu Junjie's face darkened as he questioned Lu Yang coldly.
Lu Yang walked to Shen Yiman's side, put his arm around her, and said with a smile, "I am her man. If you touch my girlfriend, this is the consequence!"
"What?"
"Kid, I'll make sure you die without a burial place!"
"Elder Lin, kill him for me!"
Hu Junjie said coldly.
The old man called Elder Lin's face turned cold, and he stepped forward.
"Kid, I didn't expect you to know the 貼山靠 from Baguazhang. Coincidentally, I practice Baguazhang myself. Let me see how powerful your Baguazhang is!"
Elder Lin looked at Lu Yang and shouted coldly.
"Oh? Is that so? Then come and try, but I won't go easy on you just because you're old!"
Lu Yang sneered.
"Haha, go easy? You think too little of me, Lin, to say such a thing. If that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After speaking, Elder Lin directly struck Lu Yang's face with a palm. This palm strike was fierce and domineering, as if a chopping knife was descending, capable of splitting an ordinary person in half in an instant. His technique was extremely vicious.
However, Lu Yang had already seen through this palm strike. Lu Yang had learned from various schools and had practiced Baguazhang to a masterful level. He firmly planted his feet in a horse stance, lowered his center of gravity, and then withstood Elder Lin's palm strike with his body.
Elder Lin's palm could split a small car in half, but when it hit Lu Yang, it felt like hitting a steel plate. There was no slight give. Elder Lin's hand, however, felt like it was about to crack from the pain.
"Hmm? Kid, you are indeed much more formidable than I imagined. However, Baguazhang isn't just about this one move!"
Elder Lin stepped forward, his entire body seemed to be infused with power. Then he raised a leg and kicked towards Lu Yang.
Lu Yang also raised a leg and met Elder Lin's kick. Lu Yang remained motionless, while Elder Lin was directly kicked several meters away. He crashed into a pillar before managing to steady himself.
Otherwise, Elder Lin would have surely broken the pillar of the Guoxing Hotel.
"Kid, you have completely angered me!"
That kick had caused Elder Lin to lose face. He was a prominent figure in the Hongmen Yan Jing branch, ranking second in martial strength and serving as a consultant. Yet, today, he was being taught a lesson by a young man in his early twenties and was so miserably handled. How could Elder Lin swallow this indignity?
Elder Lin roared, unleashing his full aura. His hair instantly turned white. He strode towards Lu Yang, leaving an imprint on the ground with each step, cracking the floor of the Guoxing Hotel.
"Hmm? This is burning life to enhance one's strength?"
Seeing this, Lu Yang immediately sneered. He knew many secret techniques that could burn one's life to instantly increase their strength, but the enhanced power only lasted for a few minutes. After those minutes passed, a significant portion of their life would be lost. For someone of Elder Lin's age, it meant certain death.
But Elder Lin, desperate to defeat Lu Yang, disregarded everything and threw a punch at Lu Yang.
Lu Yang also threw a punch, and their fists collided.
"Bang!"
Lu Yang put all his strength into this punch, which was also the result of his recent insights. After their fists collided, Lu Yang took two steps back, but Elder Lin was sent flying like a cannonball, hitting the ground heavily and creating a large pit in the marble floor.
Elder Lin lay on the ground, his life or death unknown. Lu Yang knew that even if Elder Lin wasn't killed by his punch, his life had been burned out and he would die soon.
"Hiss!"
Everyone couldn't help but gasp. They hadn't expected Lu Yang to be so formidable, having crippled or possibly killed a consultant of the Hongmen Yan Jing branch.
The key point was that this young man was only in his early twenties. At such a young age, possessing such immense martial power was incredibly impressive.
But the most astonished was Shen Ronghua.
He had always looked down on Lu Yang and didn't want his daughter to associate with him. Now, Lu Yang had saved his daughter and himself.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Lu Yang asked Hu Junjie, who was trembling all over.
Hu Junjie was momentarily speechless.
"If not, then kneel on the ground and apologize to my woman!"
Lu Yang continued.
"What? You want me to apologize to this bitch? Don't you know who I am..."
But before Hu Junjie could finish speaking, Lu Yang kicked his leg, forcing Hu Junjie to his knees, right in front of Shen Yiman.
"Kowtow and apologize!"
Lu Yang shouted again in a low voice. Although the voice wasn't loud, everyone in the venue heard it clearly.
"You're dead, our Hongmen Yan Jing branch will never let you go..."
Lu Yang directly pressed Hu Junjie's head down, making him kowtow to Shen Yiman.
"Bang, bang, bang," he kowtowed three times, and Lu Yang finally felt satisfied.
"Alright, this insolent fellow has been subdued by me. Are you still dissatisfied?"
Lu Yang asked Shen Yiman with a smile.
"Very satisfied!"
Shen Yiman smiled slightly.
"Daughter, why didn't you tell me your boyfriend was so capable earlier? I..."
Shen Ronghua stood aside, his face flushed, unsure of what to say. He had previously looked down on Lu Yang and constantly belittled Lu Yang to elevate Bai Wanli of the Bai family. However, Bai Wanli didn't dare to utter a sound in front of Hu Junjie, unlike Lu Yang, who struck without a word and made Hu Junjie kneel and beg for forgiveness.
Such a presence was comparable to a high-ranking official, making Shen Ronghua look at Lu Yang with newfound respect.
"You always favored Bai Wanli, so I never had a chance to tell you much!"
Shen Yiman said dismissively.
"It was Dad's mistake, Dad was wrong, Dad will never oppose you again!"
Shen Ronghua said apologetically.
"However, my good daughter, can you ask your boyfriend to help your dad with something?"
Shen Ronghua continued.
