Chapter 309 Seeking Death
Chen Yang stood behind Tong Xinya, a cold smile playing on his lips as he heard Luo Ba's words.
"Wait," Tong Xinya interjected, "He's not from our Tong family, and I don't know him. This matter has nothing to do with him."
"I admit our Tong family has lost this round and is no match for you, but the long-standing feud between our Tong and Qi families doesn't need to involve outsiders."
Qi Tianlai burst into laughter at her words. "Tong Xinya, do you take me for an idiot?"
"This scoundrel entered with you. Just now you said to have him deliver a message, and now you claim he's not one of your Tong family. Let me tell you, regardless of whether he's part of the Tong family or not, he's going to die."
"Lord Luo, take care of that trash."
Luo Ba nodded, chuckling at Tong Xinya. "Little girl, after I'm done with this trash, you're next. Don't worry, though I'll be rough, I'm very gentle with beauties. I guarantee you won't be able to resist."
Luo Ba roared with laughter and beckoned Chen Yang over.
Chen Yang frowned and waved his hand at Luo Ba. "I'm not here for you today. I'm looking for someone else. Since this Qi Tianlai is the master here, I'd like to ask for a person from you."
Both Luo Ba and Qi Tianlai erupted into boisterous laughter. Luo Ba sighed, "Kid, you're too afraid to die, coming up with such an absurd excuse to escape. Do you think that's possible?"
"Do you think we're three-year-olds to be tricked by you? Stop spouting nonsense and come here to die."
Chen Yang took a step forward, his brow furrowed. He glanced at Luo Ba and said, "You're really annoying. But I can't be bothered with you today, so scram."
Tong Xinya, standing beside Chen Yang, was startled by his words. She turned to look at him in disbelief, wondering why he dared to speak like that now, practically inviting death.
Luo Ba became even more enraged. He sneered, "The kid is indeed seeking death. In that case, I'll fulfill your wish now."
With that, Luo Ba leaped forward, his fist aimed directly at Chen Yang's chest.
Chen Yang raised his palm, seeing Luo Ba charge forward. He gently swiped his hand downward, like a teacher disciplining a student.
Yet, with such a light slap, such a seemingly slow movement, Luo Ba couldn't dodge it at all. To onlookers, it appeared as though Luo Ba had simply presented his face to Chen Yang's palm.
Luo Ba's expression was one of sheer terror. He struggled in mid-air, trying desperately to evade Chen Yang's hand, only to realize that his entire body seemed immobile, utterly unable to dodge.
The next moment, with a crisp "slap," Chen Yang struck Luo Ba across the face. The seemingly light blow was followed by a sickening "crack." Luo Ba's head spun a full three hundred and sixty degrees.
Then, with another "snap," his head was completely severed, dangling from his shoulder. With a thud, Luo Ba collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He, the formidable Taekwondo master who had been undefeated, had been killed with a single slap.
Chen Yang contemptuously kicked Luo Ba's corpse aside. "Is this Taekwondo? Truly trash. Does this stuff even deserve to be compared to our Huaxia martial arts? Just a waste."
After kicking Luo Ba's body away, Chen Yang walked towards Qi Tianlai.
Tong Xinya's eyes widened, her usually spirited face etched with utter astonishment. She was completely dumbfounded.
Just moments ago, this Luo Ba had dealt with over twenty of her Tong family's experts in less than half a minute. Her family members were either dead or injured, lying on the ground unable to move.
Yet, such a formidable master, such a Taekwondo powerhouse, had been killed by Chen Yang's single slap, as easily as swatting a mosquito. What in the world was going on?
Tong Xinya stared at Chen Yang's back, her breathing rapid. Simultaneously, the other Tong family disciples were a mixture of shock, excitement, and joy.
At this moment, they saw hope. They had thought they were all doomed, having no courage to even resist against a master like Luo Ba.
They had been beaten into submission, their combat capabilities utterly destroyed. But now, Chen Yang had suddenly appeared and killed Luo Ba with a single slap, meaning they still had a chance to survive.
Chen Yang paid no mind to the reactions of the others and continued towards Qi Tianlai. Seeing Chen Yang kill Luo Ba with a single slap, Qi Tianlai was terrified to the core.
He quickly retreated, fumbling at his waist and drawing a pistol. He stared at Chen Yang in panic and stammered, "You... Who the hell are you? Are you a helper hired by the Tong family? You..."
As Qi Tianlai spoke, Chen Yang flicked his finger.
The next moment, Qi Tianlai's wrist was cleanly severed with a "swish." The pistol he held clattered to the ground with a "bang."
Chen Yang rubbed his hand and said, "I hate it when people point that thing at me. From now on, anyone who dares to use such a weapon will forfeit their life!"
The surrounding individuals hastily backed away. They had no idea how Chen Yang had moved; they couldn't even see the silver threads he used for "pulse diagnosis."
At this moment, Qi Tianlai's subordinates were filled with terror, some even wanting to flee. Their minds were solely occupied with how Chen Yang had disarmed Qi Tianlai and severed his wrist so cleanly. How was that even possible?
Chen Yang walked forward and grabbed Qi Tianlai by the throat. He spoke patiently, "Qi Tianlai, I'm not a helper hired by the Tong family. I'm here only to find someone. Do you know Lu Zhi?"
"Don't tell me you don't. If you dare to give me a wrong answer, your head will be on the chopping block in the next second."
Qi Tianlai dared not conceal anything. Having witnessed Luo Ba being killed by Chen Yang's slap, he knew Chen Yang was serious. He understood that any mistake in his answer would result in his demise.
He quickly said, "Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi, I know that kid. That kid is in the second room on the left. He's in there looking for women!"
Chen Yang nodded, then delivered a swift kick that broke Qi Tianlai's ribs, sending him tumbling to Tong Xinya's feet.
Tong Xinya certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity. Clutching her dagger, she pointed it directly at Qi Tianlai. "Qi Tianlai, tell me, where have you imprisoned my grandfather?"
As she questioned him, Tong Xinya pulled out her phone and dialed the number of the person left guarding their family.
The Tong family had a large number of martial arts disciples, which was why they had always been able to suppress the Qi family.
Tong Xinya immediately spoke into the phone, "Uncle Ah, bring all the Tong family disciples. Surround Qi Family Fort immediately. Today, we will annihilate Qi Family Fort."
