"Xiao Yao, you're too naive, that's why you fell for their tricks. But thankfully, Li Yang is here. He'll definitely help you deal with those two shameless people today," Tang Xin Yu comforted her.
"Xin Yu jie, who exactly is brother-in-law? How can he be so powerful? Not only does he understand medicine and antiques, but he can even deal with people who practice such evil arts. I've never seen him do things like this before," Tang Xiao Yao said in shock.
"This is nothing. Before I met him, I was just like you, I didn't believe in anything. But after witnessing many things, I slowly started to believe," Tang Xin Yu said with a smile.
"I misunderstood brother-in-law before. I thought he was lying to me, but I never expected everything he said to be true!"
Tang Xiao Yao now felt guilty towards Li Yang and prayed silently that nothing would happen to him.
Inside the villa, after Li Yang defeated Song Wen Xuan with one move, the old man in the Tang suit was stunned.
As the old man turned around, he saw Song Wen Xuan lying on the ground spitting blood. He rushed over to help him up and asked, "Wen Xuan, how are you?"
"Uncle, this kid is too powerful. Our plan is going to fail. Hurry up and kill him!" Song Wen Xuan clutched his chest, enduring the pain.
"I truly underestimated him. How dare he touch you? Today, I'll make him taste my power."
As the old man finished speaking, he immediately stood up and lightly waved his sleeve. A ball of black Gu energy flew over from a distance.
This was a centipede Gu he had formed by gathering Gu energy. The Gu looked like a mass of energy, but it was actually a venomous Gu worm that attacked like a ferocious beast!
Li Yang saw it and calmly picked his ear. The moment the black Gu approached, he suddenly sneezed, and a powerful gust of air was expelled, instantly shattering the old man's black Gu.
At this moment, the old man's eyes were vacant!
He looked at Li Yang incredulously and asked, "You're this strong? I really underestimated you."
"Old man, you're already so old, yet you're helping your nephew commit such despicable and vile acts. You think you're very powerful, but in my eyes, you're just an old geezer."
"Since I've stumbled upon this today, I'll send you to the underworld!"
As Li Yang spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. His body moved like a sharp sword, and with a whoosh, he surged towards the old man.
The old man gathered all the strength from his dantian and unleashed his fists to meet Li Yang. To his surprise, his fate was the same as Song Wen Xuan's. Before he could even touch Li Yang, he was sent flying by a tremendous force!
The moment he fell to the ground, spitting blood, all the Gu energy in the villa instantly dissipated!
The formation was also shattered by Li Yang at the same time!
Li Yang turned back and sneered, "You indeed fell for my trap. You wanted to use the Gu formation's power to deal with me, but you never expected my strength to be a hundred times yours. Even with a hundred Gu formations empowering you, you're no match for me."
"Impossible! You're so young, you can't possibly have the strength of a Grandmaster. Who exactly are you, and who is your master?" the old man asked, deeply shocked, his perception of Li Yang completely rewritten.
With his strength, even a Grandmaster would not be his opponent if he had the Gu formation's support.
That's why he had faced Li Yang with absolute confidence just now. But unexpectedly, Li Yang destroyed his Gu formation effortlessly, and his Gu heart, which he had cultivated for many years through antiques, was also shattered at this moment.
He was already on his last breath.
Seeing him trembling weakly, Li Yang calmly walked up to him and smiled, "You want to know my identity? Go ask the King of Hell in the underworld. Perhaps he can tell you the answer."
"You..."
The old man trembled and pointed his finger at Li Yang, seemingly wanting to say something more, but he suddenly slumped down powerlessly and died on the spot!
Li Yang slowly stood up and looked back at Song Wen Xuan, saying with disdain, "Your uncle is dead, killed by me. What are your thoughts now?"
"Don't, don't kill me, Big Brother. I was wrong. I shouldn't have targeted you, nor should I have doubted your strength. Please spare me!"
Song Wen Xuan trembled with fear and quickly begged Li Yang for mercy.
"You want me to spare you? That requires some sincerity. Do you think it's possible with just words?" Li Yang walked up to him, placed a hand on his shoulder, and asked with a cold smile.
"I, I promise I won't bother Xiao Yao again. I'm willing to give her to Big Brother," Song Wen Xuan said, his eyes darting around.
"You never had a chance with her in the first place, and not bothering her is what you should be doing anyway. So, this doesn't count as a condition."
Li Yang shook his head and said, "How about I give you a reminder? Although your Gu arts haven't reached perfection, you've practiced them with precious antiques quite a lot over the years, haven't you? Do you have many rare treasures at home?"
"This..."
Song Wen Xuan suddenly understood. This guy had his sights set on his family's treasures.
Those treasures were all incredibly valuable, and he had spent a lot of money to acquire them. Giving them away for free would be a huge loss.
"Big Brother, I don't have many rare treasures. Those were all given to me by my uncle. Unfortunately, he's dead now. If he were still alive, perhaps you could get many from him," Song Wen Xuan said cleverly after regaining his composure.
"Is that so? Since you don't have what I want, then keeping them is useless. I'll deal with you now and send you to accompany your uncle."
Li Yang shook his head in dissatisfaction and prepared to make a move to finish off Song Wen Xuan.
Song Wen Xuan shivered with fear and quickly begged, "Big Brother, no, don't kill me. I'll give them to you. I do have some treasures at home. Give me some time, and I'll send them all to you."
"How many are there in total?" Li Yang continued to ask.
"Ten pieces?" Song Wen Xuan asked tentatively.
"Only that many? Then I'm more interested in your life," Li Yang shook his head again.
"A hundred pieces, Big Brother. I have a hundred pieces at home. Can you let me go now?" Song Wen Xuan quickly changed his tune.
One hundred treasures, worth at least fifty to sixty million, was indeed not a small sum.
However, Li Yang was not impressed and shook his head, "Still too few. At least a thousand pieces. If you can provide them to me, I'll let you go. If you can't, your life ends today."
"A thousand pieces?"
Hearing that number, Song Wen Xuan's eyes widened in surprise. He quickly said, "Big Brother, I really don't have that many. Even if you kill me, I can't produce them."
"If you don't have them, why don't you go look in your uncle's house? Your two families combined should have enough for a thousand pieces, right? I'll give you three days to gather a thousand pieces and deliver them to the Tang family. If I don't see the antiques by then, I'll take your life."
After speaking, Li Yang gave him no other choice and waved his hand, "You can leave now. Your life is temporarily owed to me. As for how you choose, it's up to you."
