"Certainly!"
"But I need to warn you, that assassin might be very formidable. You might not be its match. So, it's best to be moderate and act within your capabilities. If you can't win, just run. Don't die by that assassin's hand. Otherwise, if a beautiful police flower like you sacrifices herself, I'll be heartbroken!" Lu Yang said with a smile.
"You..." Hearing Lu Yang's words, a cold glint flashed in Cheng Wanyun's eyes. Since she received the Spiritual Sparrow inheritance, she hadn't showcased it. It was a good opportunity to test her skills against Lu Yang.
With this thought, Cheng Wanyun directly attacked Lu Yang with her slender hands. Her attacks focused on agility, as graceful as a spiritual bird. Her hands shifted in myriad ways, like those of a Thousand-Armed Guanyin, making it seem as if Cheng Wanyun's hands were everywhere at once.
"This little lass has indeed received the inheritance. She's this powerful!" Lu Yang saw Cheng Wanyun's moves and smiled slightly, engaging her in a spar. However, Lu Yang held back his killing blows, merely exchanging ordinary moves with Cheng Wanyun. Within twenty exchanges, neither gained an advantage.
"You... you're actually this strong, able to block my twenty moves!" Seeing Lu Yang fend off all her techniques, Cheng Wanyun's expression changed slightly, and she spoke in surprise. She knew Lu Yang was powerful, and she hadn't been his match before. But now, having received the Spiritual Sparrow inheritance, she should have been able to defeat Lu Yang easily. Yet, it seemed she still lacked the strength to overcome him.
"Could it be because I've only just begun cultivating and my strength hasn't improved yet?" Cheng Wanyun mused inwardly. But the thought of her grandmother, a grandmaster of martial arts and a top figure in China, strengthened her resolve. She was determined to cultivate even harder and achieve the same level of strength as her grandmother as soon as possible.
"Truly worthy of being a descendant of the Spiritual Sparrow leader. After just a few days, your martial arts have become so formidable!" Lu Yang stated directly.
"What? You actually know my identity?" Hearing Lu Yang's words, Cheng Wanyun's gaze instantly turned icy. She was ready to attack Lu Yang at any moment, as her identity was generally a secret. The fact that Lu Yang, standing before her, had revealed it made Cheng Wanyun feel a sense of crisis.
"What's there to be surprised about? I presume you know my identity too!" Lu Yang said frankly.
"I do!"
"However, you can forget about the engagement arranged by our ancestors! Lu Yang, your current achievements are commendable, but your Lu family has declined and cannot be compared to our Cheng family. And you, in any case, are not worthy of me!"
"This is the annulment document I've written. Sign it, and we'll have no further ties!" Cheng Wanyun had originally intended to deal with matters in Jiangbei City before discussing this with Lu Yang. Since they had met and their relationship had been revealed, Cheng Wanyun no longer hid anything. She directly produced the annulment document she had prepared long ago and asked Lu Yang to sign it.
"Annulment?"
"What do you mean? You're saying there's an engagement between us?" Hearing Cheng Wanyun's words, Lu Yang was utterly bewildered.
"It was arranged by our ancestors. In modern society, arranged marriages are long outdated. However, since it was agreed upon by the Lu and Cheng families back then, it would look bad if I broke it off unilaterally. As compensation, I will agree to help you twice. If you are in danger, call me, and I will assist you!" Cheng Wanyun said, looking down at Lu Yang.
"What did you say? Help me? You can't even defeat me, and you want to help me escape danger? Are you kidding me?" Lu Yang shook his head helplessly and continued, "Regarding the annulment you mentioned, I have never acknowledged any engagement between us!"
After speaking, Lu Yang directly took the paper from Cheng Wanyun's hand and wrote his name.
"Are you satisfied now?" Lu Yang asked Cheng Wanyun with a smile.
"Rest assured, the strength of our Cheng family is beyond your imagination. If you need it, you can always call upon my promise. Even if you want money, I can give you ten million, allowing you to live the rest of your life without worries!" Cheng Wanyun continued to look at Lu Yang, completely disregarding his identity as the Black Dragon King. She believed that despite Lu Yang's current capabilities and formidable methods, they were of little use. After all, a former Black Dragon King was not just one person; he had the Black Dragon Guards behind him. The Black Dragon Guards' influence was so immense that it made the entire world tremble. Wherever the Black Dragon Guards went, they were invincible and unconquerable. The enemies who had invaded China in the past were all crushed under the Black Dragon Guards' iron hooves, becoming history. Now, Lu Yang was alone and could not possibly assemble the Black Dragon Guards, as they were the culmination of generations of effort, not something achieved overnight.
"Whatever you say!"
"You should take good care of yourself and make sure you don't get killed by an assassin!" Lu Yang waved his hand indifferently.
"You..." Cheng Wanyun almost made a move but restrained herself, giving Lu Yang a cold glare before driving away.
Several subordinates of the Abyss Organization, who were listening inside, were terrified. They only knew Lu Yang was powerful but were unaware of his true identity. They never imagined Lu Yang was China's Black Dragon King, a truly invincible existence in China.
"Boss, you're too awesome! You're the Black Dragon King! I knew you had to be this formidable. It seems we've struck gold this time. Following the Black Dragon King, we can definitely achieve great things!" As soon as Lu Yang entered, Dark Night Pluto said excitedly.
"Unbelievable, unbelievable! Boss, I never imagined you had such a powerful identity! The former Black Dragon King shook the world and made the entire underground realm tremble. After a silent half-century, he has reappeared! Most fortunately, we are following you!"
"Boss, please accept my kowtow!" Little Arnor also looked at Lu Yang excitedly.
"Boss, I will follow you bravely and conquer the underground world!" Big Arnor clenched his fists, his heart overflowing with excitement.
"Don't get too worked up, everyone. My identity cannot be exposed yet, because I am still very weak. We'll talk about it when I've grown stronger!" Lu Yang said awkwardly, having a very clear understanding of his current standing. With his present strength, if he encountered truly powerful experts, he would likely only be able to flee for his life. The Black Dragon King was forged through countless battles, both large and small, to reach the pinnacle of the world and make the underground realm tremble. The current Lu Yang, if he met the top figures in the underground realm, would probably only have the option to run.
"Mhm, mhm, we will definitely help boss grow quickly. How about we let boss practice with the Diamond Killer, Great Demon King, from the Death God Assassin Organization?" Little Arnor said with a sly smile.
"I really want to give you a like!" Lu Yang glanced at Little Arnor and said.
"Boss, if Great Demon King is really there, shall we all attack him together this time?" Dark Night Pluto asked Lu Yang.
