“Lu Yang, is that you again?”
“Precisely. Heaven’s gate is closed, yet you insist on barging in. I was just pondering how to eliminate you, and here you are, walking right into my territory. Hahaha, truly, providence is on my side!”
“Shen Yiman, I didn’t expect you to be here too. Last time I didn’t get you, but this time, I absolutely must. And after I possess you, you will become a service worker here, attending to guests day and night!”
Upon seeing Lu Yang and Shen Yiman, Kong Hexuan immediately burst into loud laughter, as if he had this Lu Yang completely cornered.
However, Kong Hexuan indeed had the confidence. This hotel was the primary source of income for his Kong family, and it was also their most discreet venue for currying favor with the powerful. Over the years, the Kong family had amassed considerable wealth from this establishment. Moreover, the over one hundred thugs and ruffians within the hotel were all fierce and daring fighters.
With over a hundred men against a single Lu Yang, even if Lu Yang were exceptionally skilled, Kong Hexuan believed he would perish under a hail of blades.
“Kong Hexuan, I originally thought you were merely a businessman. While your methods were somewhat unscrupulous, I didn’t imagine you’d be so audacious. It seems I misjudged you. Not only are you audacious, but you are also utterly depraved. You deserve to be cast into the eighteenth level of hell!”
Lu Yang glared at Kong Hexuan and roared coldly.
“Oh? Is that so? Haha, unfortunately, you won’t have that opportunity!”
Kong Hexuan sneered and then bellowed at all the women behind Lu Yang, “What the hell are you all running out for? Are you seeking death? Get back inside and put on your makeup. It’s almost time to attend to the guests. Whoever disrupts the rules here, I’ll be the first to kill them!”
Hearing Kong Hexuan’s words, all the women trembled.
They hadn’t expected Kong Hexuan to bring so many people. Some even regretted following Lu Yang out, realizing that Lu Yang alone facing such a large group was undoubtedly a suicidal act. This time, they would suffer alongside Lu Yang.
“Alas, if I had known this would happen, I would never have come out!”
“Indeed. This fellow can barely save himself now, how can he save us? When this kid gets killed, it will be our turn. Young Master Kong will certainly not let us off easily!”
“What’s meant to come will come, and what’s meant to be avoided cannot be. This is fate. I hope in the next life, I can be born a man!”
“…”
The women following behind Lu Yang couldn’t help but whisper amongst themselves, most of them regretting coming out.
They were well aware of the rules of the Emperor Hotel. As long as a guest or the owner was displeased, it would result in brutal beatings. Those who couldn’t withstand the beating and died were simply thrown into the sea to feed the fish, leaving no trace.
At this moment, the lecherous old man being held by Lu Yang also woke up. Upon seeing Kong Hexuan standing before him, he immediately cried out.
“Young Master Kong, save me! This bastard broke all four of my limbs. You must avenge me!”
The lecherous old man wailed and shouted.
“Useless trash, to actually let an outsider in. What use do I have for you? You will die with this loser!”
Kong Hexuan glanced at the lecherous old man and roared coldly.
“No… don’t, don’t!”
The lecherous old man shouted, but Kong Hexuan paid him no mind. Instead, he turned to Lu Yang and continued, “However, if you two are willing to hand over Black Dragon Capital to me, I wouldn’t mind letting you live today!”
“Let me go? Do you expect me to believe that?”
“Now that I’ve discovered such a vile act, you would be so kind? You merely wish to extort us before taking action. Do you think I’m as foolish as you?”
Hearing Kong Hexuan’s words, Lu Yang couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.
“Kid, since you’re being so uncooperative, then don’t blame me!”
“After you’re dead, Black Dragon Capital will still be mine!”
Kong Hexuan’s expression turned cold as he continued.
“Young Master Kong, why waste words with this loser? Just kill him directly!”
Yang Haisheng, standing beside him, couldn’t wait to shout. He was the son of the Provincial Governor, and associating with Kong Hexuan in such deeds, if this were to get out, his father would be removed from his post. After all, the nature of this matter was too serious.
“Yang Haisheng?”
“This time, you’ve brought this upon yourself. Even if I cripple you on the spot, your father won’t dare to retaliate!”
Hearing Yang Haisheng’s words, before Kong Hexuan could even speak, Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Yang Haisheng, saying.
“You mad dog, do you really think you can disregard everyone just because you have some fighting skills? I didn’t want to bother with you before because you had the Wei family backing you. Now, on Kong family territory, who would know if I even kill you?”
“You harmed me and got me locked up at the Police Department for a day, and you made my father furious. I’ll settle all these scores with you today!”
“I know you can fight, but these over a hundred thugs today are all desperate men. I don’t believe you can survive against them!”
Yang Haisheng looked at Lu Yang, his eyes flashing with icy coldness and killing intent.
“Attack!”
“This kid is skilled in combat. Charge at him directly and beat him to death. Whoever kills this kid, I’ll reward them ten million!”
After listening to Yang Haisheng, Kong Hexuan immediately roared loudly.
All the hulking men heard Kong Hexuan’s words, and their eyes immediately gleamed with greed. They were accustomed to living a life on the edge of a blade, but they had never had this much money. Now, they would receive ten million for killing the youth before them. All the hulking men seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, brandishing their short knives and charging towards Lu Yang.
Lu Yang’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Since obtaining his inheritance, he hadn’t fought like this. However, in his dreams, he had experienced many battles of fighting against a hundred, even taking the enemy general’s head from the midst of an army. This time, it was a perfect opportunity to test his skills.
Lu Yang clenched his fists tightly. This time, Lu Yang truly unleashed the Eighteen Forms of Black Dragon to deal with a group of desperate criminals.
The first person’s short knife slashed towards Lu Yang’s head. Lu Yang subtly shifted his body, dodging the strike, and then unleashed a punch, smashing into the man’s chest. The man was instantly sent flying like a cannonball, his chest completely caved in, his ribs shattered, and his heart instantly stopped beating from Lu Yang’s blow.
As the man’s body was sent flying, he knocked over more than a dozen people around him. Their bodies also sustained varying degrees of injury; some had broken arms, others broken legs, clearly demonstrating the power of Lu Yang’s punch.
However, these thugs were already red-eyed and completely disregarded the fall of their companions. The rest of the men again charged towards Lu Yang.
Lu Yang, relying on his fists and agile movements, weaved through the siege of these hundred-plus hulking men. Every punch landed with brutal force. Anyone hit by Lu Yang was essentially killed with a single blow.
A hulking man hid behind Lu Yang and, finding an opportunity, swung his short knife directly at Lu Yang’s neck.
He didn’t know that Lu Yang’s senses were incredibly sharp, and his control over the entire battlefield surpassed everyone’s expectations. Every move of these thugs was within Lu Yang’s grasp. With a sudden grab, Lu Yang caught the short knife with one hand and then forcefully bent it, snapping the blade in two. Holding half of the broken knife, Lu Yang casually swung it, slicing across the neck of the attacker. The throat split open, and the head dangled precariously. If it hadn’t been for only half the blade, this strike would have cleanly severed the man’s head.
Shen Yiman clutched the Black Dragon Token that Lu Yang had given her, her heart pounding in her chest. She was extremely worried for Lu Yang, and all the women behind her were trembling.
They were worried about Lu Yang, but even more so about themselves. If Lu Yang were defeated, their fate would be dire. However, based on the current situation, Lu Yang’s chances of survival seemed infinitesimally small.
One man against a hundred, even Iron Man would probably lose a layer of skin!
