With the samurai sword held in both hands, his body twisted abruptly, sweeping horizontally towards Yang Fei's waist.
His movements were fluid and seamless, catching everyone off guard.
Yang Fei had long noticed the glint of cold light flashing on the blade, his internal energy almost manifesting into substance.
If this strike had hit his waist, it would have surely cut him in half.
Yang Fei executed a pigeon roll, dodging the sword energy.
Simultaneously, the opponent delivered another kick, sending him flying several meters away.
"Bang!"
Yang Fei was knocked to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, looking utterly disheveled.
"Yang Fei! Be careful!"
Tang Zhao cried out instinctively.
Everyone around was even more panicked. Yang Fei, who they had considered a formidable fighter, second only to Ling Feng, had just been forced to spit blood by the opponent in a single move.
Everything had happened too quickly for them to react, but by the time they came to their senses, Yang Fei was on the verge of defeat!
The price of defeat was, inevitably, death!
Yang Fei glanced at Tang Zhao and the others, knowing it was about time and that there was no point in wasting more time here. He immediately retreated frantically, feigning defeat.
But Gaoqiao Qingshan let out a wild laugh, "Haha, trying to escape? Die, Soul Annihilation Slash!"
Whoosh!
Sword energy erupted from the blade once more, instantly reaching Yang Fei.
"Ah! Puff!"
After a scream from Yang Fei, his body was swept to the ground.
In an instant, blood gushed from his waist.
Although he wasn't cut in half, the wound was clearly large and deep, even reaching his internal organs!
However, Yang Fei scrambled to his feet and leaped out through the window.
"Hmm? Trying to escape?"
Gaoqiao Qingshan roared in anger, pursuing him like lightning.
By the time he reached outside, Yang Fei was nowhere to be seen.
Gaoqiao Qingshan's expression immediately turned cold. Yang Fei escaping was an outcome he could not accept.
But as he looked back at the large pool of blood on the ground, a disdainful sneer curved his lips.
"Run? Heh, after being hit by my Soul Annihilation Slash, how long can you possibly live?"
Gaoqiao Qingshan was certain Yang Fei wouldn't survive, so he didn't continue the pursuit. Although his mission wasn't completed perfectly, it was completed nonetheless!
"Yang Fei!"
"Mr. Yang!"
Seeing this, Tang Zhao and the others rushed forward in panic, but Yang Fei was nowhere to be found.
Yang Fei had run?
Tang Zhao and the others' faces instantly turned ashen.
"It's over, everything's over... Run!"
Lu Youhai shrieked like a lost soul, turning to flee.
But at that moment, a cold voice rang out.
"Run? Not a single one of you will escape!"
As the words fell, the sound of breaking air echoed from all around.
Over a dozen martial arts experts entered the reception hall like lightning.
Almost instantly, they subdued Tang Zhao and the others.
Gurgle...
Tang Zhao's head was pinned to the ground, his face contorted with pain, yet he could still see a wheelchair slowly approaching.
His gaze shifted upwards, and in the wheelchair sat Lei Zhengtang!
"Lei Zhengtang!"
Tang Zhao roared through gritted teeth.
Lei Zhengtang said with a sinister grin, "Mr. Tang, long time no see! Last time, Yang Fei failed to kill me, and this time, your Lingtian Group is completely finished!"
"Colluding with people from the Four Island Nation, you deserve to die!" Tang Zhao struggled, but it was futile.
Lei Zhengtang chuckled, "It's probably you who will die a terrible death."
"I'll be going now!"
Gaoqiao Qingshan passed by Lei Zhengtang with an indifferent expression.
Lei Zhengtang quickly bowed respectfully, "Farewell, Mr. Gaoqiao. My second uncle has prepared a victory banquet for you!"
Gaoqiao Qingshan nodded faintly, his figure vanishing in the blink of an eye as if he had teleported.
Lei Zhengtang, however, controlled his wheelchair, circling the five CEOs of Lingtian Group and Li Shan and the others.
His gaze was mocking, like a triumphant general admiring his captured spoils!
At this moment, the people from Lingtian Group dared not look directly at Lei Zhengtang.
Some were so terrified that tears streamed down their faces, crying unashamedly.
Lei Zhengtang stared at them with utter disdain. After circling them, his gaze suddenly fell on Li Shan.
Li Shan, with his shoulders held by a martial arts master, was forced to kneel on the ground. He had been bowing his head, but now he lifted it, staring intently at Lei Zhengtang.
In his bloodshot, crimson eyes, there was only rage and killing intent!
Ling Feng had given Li Shan a chance at rebirth, completely altering his life's trajectory, but Wuhu Group had brutally destroyed it all.
He now wished he could tear Lei Zhengtang apart alive!
Facing Li Shan's gaze, Lei Zhengtang snorted, his smile becoming even more cruel as he spoke mockingly, "Heh, I remember you. I asked you to tamper with things on Baiyan Mountain, but you were bribed by Ling Feng and the others. Heh, but you're lucky, because you're still alive!"
Li Shan's pupils contracted sharply, and he gritted out, "Wuhu Group is full of evil deeds, and you will surely die a terrible death!"
"Is that so? You'll soon find out who dies a terrible death! My second uncle wants to talk to you personally. This is your last chance to live, cherish it!"
Lei Zhengtang sneered, also suppressing his killing intent.
If it weren't for Lei Qianjun's orders, Lei Zhengtang would have killed everyone present right now!
"Take them away!"
With Lei Zhengtang's command, the high-ranking officials of Lingtian Group were all taken away by Wuhu Group.
Meanwhile, upon receiving the news, Lei Haoxuan immediately initiated the acquisition of Lingtian Group.
Having lost their five CEOs and a host of senior executives, Lingtian Group was leaderless, like a scattered pile of sand, and was quickly absorbed by Wuhu Group for the most part.
Lingtian Group was merely a name.
Panic spread through the company.
Two hours later, Tang Zhao and the others were brought to a hall in Wuhu Group.
A line of people were forced to kneel on the ground. Only Li Shan struggled forcefully, emitting grunting sounds from his mouth and nose!
"Behave!"
A martial arts expert pressed Li Shan's head down and slammed it forcefully onto the ground.
The impact was not light; blood immediately burst from his forehead.
Li Shan had been cursing non-stop all the way, and Lei Zhengtang, unable to stand it any longer, had ordered his mouth to be gagged.
Yet, even when facing death, Li Shan remained so unyielding.
Lei Zhengtang maneuvered his wheelchair behind Lei Qianjun and reported with a nod, "Second Uncle, they have all been brought here!"
