Chapter 697 Do You Remember the Night Seven Years Ago?

"Have you had enough?"

As everyone watched in shock, a voice laced with a hint of languor echoed. Though not harsh, it carried an icy intent to kill.

Upon hearing the voice, Wo Long's face lit up with joy. "Senior Brother, you're back?"

Indeed, that voice belonged to no one else but his senior brother, Shen Lang.

Hearing this voice, Can Dao was equally astonished.

"Shen Lang, you've finally returned?"

As Tian Yang Sheng looked up, he saw Shen Lang standing five meters behind Can Dao. Shen Lang was tall, with a refined appearance and fair skin. Beside him stood a white-robed young woman whom Tian Yang Sheng did not recognize.

"As you wished, I have returned. Are you happy?"

Shen Lang's eyes were bloodshot as he spoke to Tian Yang Sheng, "Not bad. You've reached the Heavenly Realm peak. It seems you've accumulated enough capital for revenge over the years, or you wouldn't dare to come to Nan Ling and attempt to slaughter my villa."

"Shen Lang, you're right. We've come to kill you this time."

After Shen Lang finished speaking, Tian Yang Sheng said coldly, "The lives of the 1,300 men of the remnant army from seven years ago must be repaid. Wo Long must die, and you must die. None of you will escape."

"Escape? You're mistaken. Today, I will not escape, nor will Wo Long. Only you will die here."

Shen Lang looked at Tian Yang Sheng and said, "Do you know? My entire body is in turmoil, my internal organs churning. These are symptoms of qi deviation. This is all thanks to you."

Shen Lang was cultivating his third flying knife in the primeval forest. At a critical moment, Qing Cheng Yue suddenly intruded into the forest and informed Shen Lang that Tian Yang Sheng and the others were attacking the villa that night, intending to kill Wo Long and all of Shen Lang's women.

Upon hearing this news, Shen Lang's mind was thrown into chaos, causing his meridians to reverse and his qi to deviate. He was in unprecedented pain.

"What?"

Hearing Shen Lang's words, Wo Long's expression changed. "Senior Brother, how did you suffer qi deviation? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. At least I won't fall before I kill them."

Shen Lang looked at Wo Long, intending to comfort him. But at that moment, he saw Wo Long's eyes bleeding uncontrollably. Although his eyes were open, they showed no vitality. Only then did Shen Lang realize that Wo Long had gone blind.

"Die, all of you will die."

Wo Long was Shen Lang's junior brother, but their relationship was more like that of brothers. Seeing Wo Long's eyes blinded now, Shen Lang's rage burned to its peak, and he let out a pained roar.

"Shen Lang, you've come at the right time. Let's settle our grievances here."

Tian Yang Sheng looked at Shen Lang, whose eyes were bloodshot and who appeared half-mad, half-demonic. He was startled, but he did not retreat. Even with Shen Lang's return, he was fully confident in his revenge that night.

"Settle the score? On what basis?"

As soon as Tian Yang Sheng finished speaking, Shen Lang, who was five meters away, instantly teleported in front of Tian Yang Sheng. With his right hand, he effortlessly grabbed Tian Yang Sheng's throat and said coldly, "Do you think this young master is still the unknown brat who had just broken through the Profound Realm seven years ago, and that you, at the Heavenly Realm peak, can kill me as you please?"

"How... is this possible?"

Tian Yang Sheng had prepared himself for a battle of three hundred rounds with Shen Lang, ultimately killing him with all his might. He never expected Shen Lang to grab his neck with one hand and instantly hold the power of his life and death.

"Shen Lang, you... how do you possess such terrifying strength?"

Even if Shen Lang was at the Heavenly Realm peak, Tian Yang Sheng was confident that he would not lose to Shen Lang. Now, being so easily subdued by the opponent, Tian Yang Sheng's mentality completely shattered.

"Bang—"

Shen Lang did not reply to Tian Yang Sheng. After releasing his right hand from Tian Yang Sheng's neck, he swiftly struck Tian Yang Sheng's chest with his palm, sending him flying seven to eight meters. It was only when Tian Yang Yi rushed behind Tian Yang Sheng that he caught him.

"Big Brother, I think this kid is not right. His strength is even more terrifying than yours. Should we retreat first?"

Tian Yang Yi was an archer. Those who used bows and arrows were usually the calmest. He had already observed Shen Lang's terrifying power and wished to avoid his sharp edge and seek revenge later.

"Retreat? I'm sorry, none of you will be able to retreat."

As Tian Yang Yi finished speaking, Shen Lang raised his right hand. Five balls of lightning emerged from between his fingers.

The crackling lightning balls shattered and transformed into dozens of bolts of lightning, which wove into a net, instantly blocking the escape route for Tian Yang Sheng and Tian Yang Yi.

"This is... the Song family's ancestral Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Art?"

Seeing Shen Lang controlling lightning with his bare hands, Can Dao was greatly astonished. He said to Shen Lang, "You've even mastered the Song family's ancestral Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Art?"

"Of course, I don't have that ability. However, I have a good uncle. He spent decades cultivating the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Art, and then I infused the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Art into my dan tian, allowing me to master this exquisite skill."

Shen Lang looked at Can Dao and asked, "How is this exquisite skill?"

"Four words to describe it: divine beyond imagination."

Can Dao looked at Shen Lang and said, "I always thought the existence of the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Art was just a legend. After all, to simultaneously master the powers of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and to master the Heavenly Master's Mansion's Five Thunder True Law, this is an impossible feat for anyone."

"Yes, the first time I heard of it, I also found it unbelievable, but someone truly achieved it."

Shen Lang waved his hand casually, and lightning surrounded his entire body. At this moment, anyone who approached Shen Lang within half a meter would undoubtedly be annihilated by terrifying lightning.

"Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Art? It's simply unbelievable that such a thing actually exists in this world."

Tian Yang Sheng also knew the legend of the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Art, but like others, he had only considered it a legend. Now that he had seen it, he truly believed it.

Shen Lang, this scoundrel, what incredible luck did he have to even master such a legendary exquisite skill? This made Tian Yang Sheng even more determined that he had to eliminate Shen Lang and Wo Long at this place today, otherwise, they would never have their revenge.

After all, the growth of these two young men was too terrifying. They had grown to such a level in just seven years. Give them another three to five years, and they would probably be invincible in the world.

"Shen Lang, do you remember the night seven years ago?"

Tian Yang Sheng looked on, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips, and said.

"What?"

Hearing Tian Yang Sheng's words, Shen Lang's expression changed slightly, as if he remembered something.

At this moment, Shen Lang saw that on the rooftop of a villa opposite, a man in black had already mounted a sniper rifle and his finger was moving towards the trigger.

At this moment, Shen Lang knew who had fired at him and Chu Ge before.
