"Haha, if this bone sword could cleave my Thousand Mechanism Net, would I be foolish enough to use this thing against you?"
"Can you not grow a brain, you bastard?"
Upon seeing Lu Yang's actions, Guo Shouren burst into a disdainful laugh.
Lu Yang said nothing. Instead, he tossed the bone sword aside and took out the Black Dragon Token. With a gentle exertion of his will, the Black Dragon Token instantly transformed into a small sword about three feet long.
The small sword emanated a dim, dark glow. As Lu Yang held it, it felt as if it were an extension of his own body.
With the small sword in hand, Lu Yang lightly swiped at the Thousand Mechanism Net before him. The net, like a spider's web, was cleaved apart. The small sword then began to devour the net from the breach. In less than a minute, the Thousand Mechanism Net, the product of Guo Shouren's lifelong efforts and heart's blood, was completely absorbed by the small sword.
"What… what in the world is this? It can devour my Thousand Mechanism Net?"
Guo Shouren's eyes widened in disbelief as he witnessed the entire process of the Black Dragon Token consuming his net. After a long moment, he finally recovered and roared out in astonishment.
Lu Yang remained silent. He then hurled the Black Dragon Token forward. It instantly transformed into a streaking meteor, hurtling directly towards Guo Shouren.
Guo Shouren was instantly alarmed and quickly reached out, attempting to catch the Black Dragon Token. However, with his skills, how could he possibly grasp it? The Black Dragon Token severed one of Guo Shouren's arms in an instant, but it did not stop there. It continued its trajectory, aiming for Guo Shouren's neck.
Just as the Black Dragon Token was about to touch Guo Shouren's neck, a jade essence suddenly exploded, emitting a powerful surge of energy that repelled the Black Dragon Token. The jade essence, which had been hanging on Guo Shouren's chest, instantly turned to dust.
This was a jade essence bestowed upon every member of the Guo family from birth, capable of protecting a life once. Guo Shouren had kept it reserved, never expecting to use it during his confrontation with Lu Yang.
The Black Dragon Token was sent flying back by the immense energy of the jade essence. At this moment, Guo Shouren recognized the item in Lu Yang's hand. It was none other than the legendary Black Dragon Token, the personal weapon of the Black Dragon King, the foremost of the Four Great Leaders of China.
"This is the Black Dragon Token?"
"You are… the Black Dragon King?"
"Indeed, you are the Black Dragon King. Your surname is Lu, and you possess the Black Dragon Token. You are undeniably the Black Dragon King. No wonder you possess such terrifying cultivation at such a young age; you are the Black Dragon King!"
"Hahaha, so what if you are the Black Dragon King? Your Lu family has long since declined. Even if you are this powerful now, offending my Guo family will only lead to your death!"
"You wanted to see if that woman is still alive, didn't you? I shall grant your wish now!"
"Bring that woman out!"
With a furious roar from Guo Shouren, two men in black uniforms emerged, dragging a bound and gagged Lu Wushuang.
"Mr. Lu, don't mind me, you should leave quickly!"
Lu Wushuang shouted at Lu Yang as soon as she saw him.
"I came here to save you. I will not leave until I have rescued you!"
Lu Yang stated directly.
"Hahaha, what a pair of lovesick fools. I never thought the dignified Black Dragon King would fall for a woman trained by our nation's Swallow Camp. Lu Yang, I can give you an opportunity now. If you pledge allegiance to our Guo family, not only will this woman be yours, but all the women of the Swallow Camp can be yours as well!"
"However, you must obey all commands of our Guo family and never betray us!"
Guo Shouren said with a smile, looking at Lu Yang.
"Pledge allegiance to your Guo family?"
"You are thinking far too highly of yourself. In my eyes, your Guo family is the primary culprit responsible for corrupting the nation and bringing ruin to the people. My goal is to eradicate your Guo family root and branch. If you release her now, I will grant you a complete corpse. Otherwise, I will ensure you are dismembered!"
Lu Yang retorted coldly at Guo Shouren.
"Stubborn fool. Since that's the case, then prepare to collect this woman's corpse!"
"Act! Sever all ten of this woman's fingers!"
Guo Shouren directly bellowed at his subordinates.
The two men in black suits immediately drew their daggers and swiftly moved to slice at Lu Wushuang's ten fingers.
At this moment, Lu Yang had already vanished from his spot. He unleashed his Yuan Ji technique to its absolute limit. In the span of a single breath, Lu Yang appeared before the two black-suited men. With two punches, he struck their chests directly, causing their ribcages to cave in and their bodies to crumple into a bloody mess.
As for the two daggers, which were about to plunge into Lu Wushuang's fingers, the Black Dragon Token on Lu Yang's person instantly appeared, shattering both daggers.
"Mr. Lu, thank you!"
Seeing herself safe in Lu Yang's arms, Lu Wushuang exclaimed emotionally.
"We'll talk about this once we're safe!"
Lu Yang, holding Lu Wushuang, returned to his original position and then looked coldly at Guo Shouren.
"Guo Shouren, what other tricks do you have? Bring them out quickly, or you might not get the chance!"
Lu Yang said coldly.
"Hahaha, brat, do you think you can save her?"
"I planted poison on her long ago. In an hour, this woman will rot and die from her entire body. Without my antidote, even if you save her, you can only clean up after her!"
"Brat, kneel down immediately, or watch your beloved woman rot and die from her entire body!"
Guo Shouren roared with laughter at Lu Yang, his eyes filled with menace.
"You… deserve… to die!"
Upon hearing Guo Shouren's words, Lu Yang's eyes blazed with murderous intent. The Black Dragon Token instantly shot out from Lu Yang's hand, slicing across Guo Shouren's neck. Guo Shouren's eyes widened in disbelief. He had initially thought Lu Yang would not dare to attack him, especially with his woman's life in his hands. Yet, Lu Yang had acted directly.
Guo Shouren clutched his neck with both hands, unable to utter a single word. A thin red line appeared on his neck, which slowly widened, eventually becoming a bloody gash from which blood continuously poured.
Guo Shouren's head had rolled to the ground at some unknown point.
Guo Shouren, a grand master from the Guo family of Yanjing, was dead!
Watching Guo Shouren fall, Lu Yang remained silent. He took Lu Wushuang and left the Yanshan Villa.
As they reached the bottom of the mountain, a fully loaded Land Rover Range Rover was already waiting for them.
"I never thought you could still be alive. Truly remarkable!"
Sitting in the front passenger seat of the car was Spirit Sparrow King.
"Please take us back quickly. She has been poisoned, and I need to return to administer the antidote!"
Lu Yang said directly to Spirit Sparrow King, without any unnecessary words.
Although Spirit Sparrow King harbored resentment, human life was at stake. She said nothing and immediately accelerated, driving Lu Yang and Lu Wushuang back to the private clubhouse.
On the way, Lu Yang had already used silver needles to seal Lu Wushuang's vital meridians, controlling the further spread of the poison.
However, after examining Lu Wushuang's physical condition, Lu Yang's brow furrowed deeply.
