"Okay, investigate further and report back. Also, seal off the exits from the scene to prevent them from escaping."
Bai Jingchang was determined to capture those Sakura Country warriors today and hand them over to the authorities for processing.
His subordinates received the orders and quickly went to carry them out.
At this moment, Xue Xigui and the others looked on with astonishment. The leader asked with confusion, "Elder Bai, what's the situation with those Sakura Country warriors? Are they here for the antiques at today's exhibition?"
"Then won't our exhibited antiques be in danger?"
"Elder Bai, these are the lifelong collections of our hard work. If there's any danger, you must inform us in advance."
The other collectors also showed signs of panic.
Bai Jingchang didn't have a hundred percent certainty that the antiques would be safe. He was very hesitant now because the day's incident had come too suddenly.
If it weren't for Li Yang's reminder, the antiques would likely have already been snatched by those Sakura Country appraisers.
Before he could respond, Li Yang suddenly spoke, "Everyone, please rest assured, I will not let any harm come to your antiques."
"Mr. Li, is that true?" a white-haired collector asked solemnly.
Li Yang's expression was calm as he replied, "I, Li Yang, keep my word. I came for these Sakura Country traitors today. If they dare to make a move, I will apprehend them all."
"The treasures are in the exhibition area ahead. Everyone listen to me, act immediately!"
As soon as Li Yang finished speaking, the exhibition area suddenly descended into chaos.
A plainclothes Sakura Country warrior shouted an order, and all his subordinates revealed their true appearances, rushing out from the crowd and heading straight for the antique exhibition area.
Li Yang's expression turned grim. His gaze followed the commotion, and he saw four or five people wielding katanas charging onto the display stage.
One of them, holding a katana high, swung it directly at the display cabinet. The cabinet was made of ten-centimeter-thick bulletproof glass, which ordinary people could not damage.
However, the warriors before him were exceptionally skilled. A red light emanated from their blades. With a flash of light, the ten-centimeter-thick glass was cleaved in half.
The warrior was ecstatic, seeing the antique right before him. He bent down to reach for it.
Unexpectedly, before he could touch the antique, he felt an extremely swift force approaching. Before he could look up, Li Yang had already kicked him flying.
*Poof!*
As the warrior fell to the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood!
At this moment, the other warriors, who were busy dealing with the surrounding bodyguards, all turned their attention to Li Yang upon witnessing this scene!
Li Yang had undoubtedly become their greatest obstacle. They instantly raised their blades, a cold glint flashing in their eyes. Abandoning the bodyguards, they simultaneously charged towards Li Yang!
"Kill!"
The five warriors moved like the wind. They converged on Li Yang, attacking from all angles with swift swordplay and fierce techniques!
All the collectors present recoiled in terror!
The surrounding audience scattered in all directions, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.
"Quick, quick, go support them and apprehend these Sakura Country warriors on the spot!"
Bai Jingchang was the first to react. He immediately ordered the surrounding bodyguards to move. The bodyguards snapped back to attention, drawing their weapons and rushing to help.
*Crack crack crack!*
Unexpectedly, just as they reached the vicinity of the warriors, Li Yang suddenly unleashed a move, "Flying Dragon in the Sky." He swept his leg in mid-air, and all five warriors were struck by the powerful leg wind, falling in disarray to the side.
This scene stunned everyone present!
"Such powerful skill! I never imagined Mr. Li not only had exceptional appraisal skills but also astonishing martial arts. Truly a prodigy!"
"With Mr. Li's strength, I think he's comparable to a martial arts grandmaster. The gust of air he unleashed just now, I've seen martial arts grandmasters display it, it's exactly the same."
"What? Martial arts grandmaster? Mr. Li is truly terrifying!"
The collectors gave Li Yang thumbs-ups, praising him profusely from the side.
After landing steadily, Li Yang looked disdainfully at the Sakura Country warriors on the ground and snorted, "You scoundrels, after rescuing Ku Teng, you're still not satisfied and dare to come here to rob openly. Your crimes are unforgivable."
"I ask you, where have you hidden Ku Teng? Whoever tells me, I will spare their life."
"Kid, we will not betray Mr. Ku Teng. You'll never know his whereabouts, not even in your dreams."
The leading warrior glared at Li Yang sinisterly and said.
Li Yang's gaze was like a piercing arrow. He instantly appeared before the warrior and stomped on his neck. With a slight exertion of force, a bone-cracking sound was heard, and the warrior died on the spot.
Immediately after, Li Yang looked at the other warriors and asked, "Does any of you have something to confess? Otherwise, you'll share the same fate."
"Even if you kill us, we won't say anything," another warrior stated coldly.
*Swish!*
Li Yang's icy gaze swept over them. As soon as the words left the warrior's mouth, Li Yang unleashed a palm strike that hit him squarely in the head.
His head instantly exploded, even splattering brain matter!
In an instant, everyone's faces turned pale with fear. The force of the attack was truly terrifying!
"Brothers, a scholar can be killed but not insulted. Since we are all going to die anyway, let's fight him."
At this moment, one warrior struggled to his feet with all his might, gripped his sword again, and led the other warriors in a charge.
The other warriors did not back down either, their eyes glinting coldly. Holding their swords, they swiftly charged towards Li Yang.
*Whoosh whoosh whoosh!*
Several gusts of wind flashed through the air. The sword energy they unleashed was returned by Li Yang in its entirety, striking their necks respectively.
They instantly sprayed blood and fell to the ground, none surviving!
Witnessing this outcome, Bai Jingchang walked over in shock. He cautiously checked their breathing and confirmed they had all ceased to live. He couldn't help but praise Li Yang, "Mr. Li, your skills are truly unparalleled. You killed them all so easily."
"A bunch of ants, not worth mentioning. Have the authorities come to deal with their bodies," Li Yang replied profoundly.
Although he had protected the antiques, he had not managed to learn Ku Teng's whereabouts from them.
Ku Teng was their leader. As long as Ku Teng was alive, the antiques remained a potential danger.
"Mr. Li, our antiques were all protected by you just now. We are immensely grateful. Please accept our bow."
The white-haired collector, along with the other collectors, approached Li Yang and bowed sincerely.
Li Yang came back to his senses and smiled faintly, "You elders need not be so polite. This is my duty. Moreover, those Sakura Country warriors deserved to die. How dare they covet our Hua Xia antiques, they are utterly audacious!"
"Everyone, I, Li Yang, have other matters to attend to today, so I will not be staying any longer. I bid you farewell."
"Mr. Li, wait a moment!"
As Li Yang was bidding farewell and preparing to leave, Xue Xigui walked over from a distance.
