Everyone following behind Yang Wenbin saw this old man and immediately bowed respectfully, shouting, "Elder Gu!"
This man was Gu Yuetian, the public outrage of the Jinling Yang family. His cultivation had already reached the Grandmaster level in martial arts, making him a formidable opponent in Jinling.
The Yang family paid him ten billion annually to enlist this martial arts Grandmaster.
"Elder Gu, it was this brat who killed my son. I implore you to kill this brat, avenge my son, and let our Yang family vent their anger!"
Yang Wenbin said to Gu Yuetian again.
"Hmm?"
"So young, yet you could kill my beloved disciple?"
"Could it be that your cultivation is higher than my beloved disciple's?"
Gu Yuetian stared intently at Lu Yang, unable to discern Lu Yang's cultivation level, which momentarily confused him.
"You old fool, I acknowledge that reaching your cultivation level was not easy. Leave now, and I will not pursue this matter. After all, this is a grudge between me and the Yang family, and it has nothing to do with you!"
Lu Yang sneered as he looked at Gu Yuetian.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuetian's expression changed instantly. He hadn't expected an inconspicuous young kid to speak so presumptuously in front of him. He was seventy-nine years old, and in the entire Jinling City, everyone addressed him with respect as Elder Gu. Even the Mayor of Jinling City would be deferential in his presence. He hadn't expected this kid in front of him to dare speak like this, which instantly ignited Gu Yuetian's fury.
"Brat, you are indeed courting death!"
"Since that's the case, then die!"
Gu Yuetian laughed in extreme anger and then attacked swiftly, reaching out to grab Lu Yang's neck.
However, Lu Yang stood still, merely tilting his head slightly to evade Gu Yuetian's fierce grasp.
"Your speed is quite fast, but I wonder how many blows you can withstand!"
Gu Yuetian continued to sneer and once again lunged at Lu Yang's vital points.
Lu Yang maintained his standing posture, effortlessly dodging Gu Yuetian's successive attacks by simply twisting his body. Gu Yuetian launched ten moves, but not a single one managed to touch Lu Yang, which was beginning to irk him.
"Brat, did you kill my disciple relying solely on such an agile movement technique?"
With this thought, Gu Yuetian coldly asked Lu Yang.
"If you say so, then so be it. I told you to leave, but you didn't. In my eyes, you are already a dead man!"
Lu Yang stated directly.
"Damn it, you scoundrel! With just a few tricks up your sleeve, you dare to be so arrogant. Today, I must kill you!"
Gu Yuetian's eyes narrowed tightly, and a whisk appeared in his hand. The strands of the whisk were made of steel wire, each one terrifyingly sharp.
The moment Gu Yuetian produced the whisk, he swung it directly towards Lu Yang's head.
Countless steel needles, densely packed, flew towards Lu Yang's head as if they were about to blow his head apart in the next second.
However, before these steel needles could touch Lu Yang's head, they were deflected by a bone sword.
"I didn't expect you to possess a magical artifact as well?"
"Which martial arts family trained you? If you're from an old acquaintance's lineage, there's no need for further conflict. It's not good to harm our relationship!"
Seeing Lu Yang's artifact, which was also immensely powerful and could easily deflect his whisk, Gu Yuetian immediately shouted at Lu Yang. He was starting to feel wary, not of Lu Yang himself, but of the family behind him. If Lu Yang was indeed a prodigy trained by a powerful martial arts family in China, and Gu Yuetian killed him, that martial arts family would certainly not let him off, leaving him with no path but death.
"Haha, what? Scared?"
"To tell you the truth, I am me, and I do not belong to any martial arts family. You can rest assured in attacking me!"
Lu Yang smiled slightly and said calmly.
"Hmph, since you say that, then it's as if I killed you without any repercussions!"
Hearing this, Gu Yuetian coldly declared and once again attacked Lu Yang. With a wave of his hand, the whisk extended by ten centimeters and continued to stretch forward, transforming into something as soft as a sword. At the entrance of the Hongmen China Headquarters, it aimed to envelop Lu Yang and then crush him.
Witnessing such a technique, everyone following Yang Wenbin could not help but exclaim in admiration.
"Elder Gu is truly amazing! Such techniques are like those of an immortal. This brat is surely dead!"
"Exactly! Elder Gu is our foremost expert in Jinling City. No matter how extraordinary this brat's skills are, he cannot escape death today!"
"To oppose our Yang family is his fate. This time, our Yang family will awe everyone in the Spirit Stone City. Those who oppose the Yang family will only have one outcome: death!"
"..."
Yang Wenbin also showed a look of disdain on his face.
He was well aware of Gu Yuetian's abilities. This whisk was made of special materials. Although Lu Yang had a magical artifact, it was likely inferior to Gu Yuetian's artifact. Moreover, Gu Yuetian's artifact could extend indefinitely. Yang Wenbin had personally witnessed Gu Yuetian trap an expert with his whisk and tear them into shreds, a scene that was extremely gruesome.
However, Lu Yang's eyes remained calm, showing no concern for Gu Yuetian's techniques. He gently swung his bone sword, drawing a Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram in the air. Countless golden runes instantly rose, enveloping the Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram, and then it powerfully smashed towards Gu Yuetian's whisk.
At this moment, the steel wires on the whisk had multiplied into tens of millions, completely enveloping Lu Yang's body and continuously squeezing, intending to crush Lu Yang into shreds.
But the Yin-Yang diagram exploded with an invincible momentum, shattering Gu Yuetian's whisk into pieces.
With a deafening "boom," the entire space vibrated. Countless people instinctively retreated. After all, the sound of the explosion was thunderous, and getting too close could result in injury. Even so, some were hit by the shattered steel wires, their flesh and blood mangled.
"My whisk!"
Gu Yuetian's heart ached. This whisk was a magical artifact that Gu Yuetian had painstakingly refined over countless days and nights, consuming countless rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures. He never expected it to be so easily destroyed by Lu Yang today.
"What other tricks do you have now?"
Lu Yang held the bone sword, looking calmly at Gu Yuetian and asking.
"Brat, you dare to destroy my whisk! I will carve you into a thousand pieces and torture you to death!"
Gu Yuetian's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he roared at Lu Yang again.
