Rumbling!
The seven people lay on their sides, each clutching their chests, feeling as if their internal organs had been shaken by Li Yang's move.
Li Yang slowly retracted his true qi. Just as he opened his eyes, the five hidden masters around him instantly leaped up. They had found their opportune moment and immediately swung their sabers, a synchronized flash of silver aimed at Li Yang.
Li Yang's brows furrowed coldly. Only then did he notice they had ambushes!
These five people were incredibly fast. By the time Li Yang regained his senses, their blades were less than ten centimeters from him.
They attacked from five different directions. Logically, Li Yang should have had no chance to dodge.
No matter which direction he dodged, he would feel the threat of a sharp blade qi.
However!
They were full of confidence, believing they could lop off Li Yang's head to report back to their boss. But at the moment their blades were about to pierce Li Yang, they suddenly found that Li Yang had vanished from his original spot.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The blades of the five men collided violently, sending sparks flying.
After a long while, they collected themselves and turned to search for Li Yang's trace.
Just then, Li Yang's figure moved like lightning, flashing and weaving behind the five men, making it impossible for them to track him.
As Li Yang's figure appeared before them, they inexplicably found themselves entangled by a strange energy. Li Yang snapped his fingers lightly, and the sabers in their hands simultaneously broke into two pieces. A wound also appeared on their chests, and blood gushed out incessantly.
This scene instantly struck the others with terror, making them feel that Li Yang was a monster.
Li Yang slowly walked up to the leading expert, placing a foot on his chest, and asked coldly, "I ask you, where do you all come from? What is your purpose in coming to Huaxia this time?"
"If you have the ability, kill us. We have even more powerful organizations above us. You kid shouldn't think of threatening us," the leading expert said resolutely, looking at Li Yang.
"You are already on the brink of death, and you still expect someone to save you? If you don't speak, you will immediately become the first sacrifice today."
Li Yang gathered his true qi in his foot, pressing down on the expert, causing blood to seep from his lips. His expression was extremely ferocious.
Yet, he still refused to beg for mercy, staring intently at Li Yang and saying, "You can never know. We will not betray the organization even if we die."
"Then you can die for them first."
A fierce glint flashed in Li Yang's eyes. He unleashed a palm strike, a hand blade, which instantly split his throat open. Blood sprayed from his throat, and he died on the spot.
The others trembled again in fear, not expecting Li Yang to be serious.
Li Yang then stepped on the chest of the second person, asking coldly, "I ask you, what is your purpose in coming to Huaxia? If you don't say, you will suffer the same fate as him."
"I..."
The subordinate looked back at his deceased leader and trembled uncontrollably. However, after a moment of hesitation, he still dared not speak the truth.
Li Yang's expression was grim. "You only have one chance. As long as you tell me the truth, I will let you go. I will not spare anyone else present, so they won't report you. No one will know that you betrayed the organization."
"Is that true?"
Hearing this, the subordinate immediately let go of his worries.
But at the same time, his companions showed expressions of terror. Before he could reveal the truth, one of the subordinates suddenly had a thought and spoke up to Li Yang, "I am willing to tell you the truth, please spare my life!"
"No, no, please spare my life, Mr. Li. I am also willing to tell the truth. In fact, besides helping Mr. Ku Teng win the Huaxia antique appraisal, we also came to steal a batch of treasures. Those treasures are in the provincial museum."
Another subordinate rushed to reveal the truth first.
Li Yang's gaze fell directly on this person, whom he considered the smartest among them.
Since this person had such a strong will to survive, it was better to give him the chance!
Regaining his composure, Li Yang looked back at the subordinate under his foot and sneered, "I gave you a chance earlier, but you didn't cherish it, so you are useless now."
"No, don't kill me, don't kill me, ah!"
The subordinate's face turned ashen with fear. Before he could finish speaking, his neck was slit open, and blood gushed out!
Immediately after, Li Yang turned to the other few people, walking towards them with a cold expression, and killed them one by one. Each person only needed one move, their throats were instantly cut, and they died on the spot!
The person who had just revealed the truth kept swallowing, looking very dazed, as if greatly shocked.
However, he felt very fortunate that out of so many people, he was the only one alive.
Following that, Li Yang came beside him and asked with a faint smile, "I ask you, what is your organization called? And who is this Mr. Ku Teng you mentioned?"
"We are all assassins from the Longtian Society. Mr. Ku Teng is our senior disciple. He is not only proficient in antiques but also in illusionary arts, and has never met an opponent in your Huaxia antique appraisal circle."
The subordinate knew that even if he confessed everything, no one would know he was the informant, so he had no scruples in his desire to survive.
Li Yang's brows furrowed. He was quite surprised by such an unknown assassin organization!
A moment later, Li Yang looked at him again and asked, "In that case, the upcoming appraisal and gambling match between Huaxia and Sakura Country is also presided over by Ku Teng, who intends to win the antiques? Is this a conspiracy from beginning to end?"
"That's right. Mr. Ku Teng and the Song family in the provincial city are old friends, and they have a very good relationship. This gambling match will take place at the Song family's residence. Mr. Ku Teng has already planned everything, and your Huaxia appraisers will have no chance to win." The subordinate continued.
"Heh, well done, Song family. I didn't expect them to be so despicable. I really underestimated them."
Li Yang chuckled. This explained why Song Wenxuan and his grandfather had obtained the evil arts through their connections with Sakura Country.
And it was highly likely that these two were also pawns of Ku Teng. For now, they were still useful, so they were kept alive to continuously cause trouble in Huaxia.
When they were no longer useful, they would naturally become victims of the Sakura Country's Longtian Society.
These two fools actually couldn't see through this, not only harming themselves but also harming the Huaxia antique appraisal world!
Thinking of this, Li Yang sighed deeply, released the Sakura Country subordinate, and said directly, "Finally, tell me how Ku Teng plans to steal the treasures. As long as you tell me his plan truthfully, you can leave."
"This... alright, Mr. Li, lean closer, and I'll tell you."
After a moment of hesitation, the subordinate finally decided to tell Li Yang.
Li Yang leaned closer, and the subordinate whispered some words. Upon hearing them, Li Yang's lips curved into a cold smile, and he said confidently, "So that's how it is. You people from Sakura Country are truly insidious and cunning."
