Outside Lu Cheng.
Yun Lang, on his journey, was resting in a pavilion.
However, at this moment, two figures suddenly appeared before him.
"Friend, you look unfamiliar."
"Indeed. The world is vast, how can anyone know everyone?" Yun Lang replied, shaking his head.
It was clear to all that they had come looking for trouble.
"Hmph! Well said."
"However, I wonder if you know a young man named Yun Lang." the newcomer inquired.
Their eyes, flashing with sharpness, were fixed on Yun Lang.
"Haha, are you from the Gao family?" Yun Lang asked, puzzled.
He hadn't expected them to be so quick, as he had already moved from his previous location after teaching the Gao family guards a lesson.
"No! We are not from the Gao family, but we have taken their benefits and are here to deal with you."
"Do you think you can defeat me?"
Yun Lang shook his head with a wry smile.
If the Gao family hadn't been afraid of him, they wouldn't have sent assassins to deal with him.
This was something he understood very clearly.
"We'll know once we try," the man said coldly.
He suddenly attacked Yun Lang.
However, his move was hesitant, as he had only heard of Yun Lang's strength and had never witnessed it himself.
His current intention was to test Yun Lang.
To see if he was truly as formidable as rumored.
"Alright!" Yun Lang nodded.
Since the other party was interested, he certainly wouldn't back down.
If trouble were to arise, they would have even less of a guarantee.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind swept past.
Just as they were all stunned, someone suddenly stepped forward from the side.
Boom!
Two gusts of fist wind collided.
Both sides intended to test each other, so neither held back.
Even so, the attacker was repelled several steps by Yun Lang.
"As expected of such cultivation," the newcomer exclaimed in surprise.
Through the brief exchange, Yun Lang had gauged his opponent's strength.
"Strength of Foundation Establishment Realm Eighth Stage," Yun Lang sneered.
Back in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, he had faced beasts of similar strength, yet they had all perished at his hands.
"Kid, your strength is only at the second stage of Foundation Establishment Realm," the man retorted with disdain.
He had thought that the person who struck fear into the heart of the Gao family head would be far more powerful.
To his surprise, he was so utterly incapable.
"Yes, but killing you would be as easy as a clap of my hand," Yun Lang stated coldly.
He instantly released the suppressed aura within him.
Ding! .org
[System detected: Host is threatened, heart strengthening...]
At this critical moment, the system's voice suddenly chimed in.
"Ah!"
The two men's faces turned ashen.
Feeling Yun Lang's continuously surging aura, they were beyond astonished.
"How... how can this be?"
"Haha, so you finally realize who you're dealing with," Yun Lang sneered.
He hadn't expected the system to help strengthen his heart even during a battle.
It was clear to him that his strength would inevitably surpass everyone else's.
"Attack."
The two men, feeling the pressure Yun Lang exuded, were filled with a sense of urgency.
However, even in this situation, they would still face an embarrassing outcome.
"Bring it on," Yun Lang declared defiantly.
With his heart strengthened by the system, he now felt no fear even when facing cultivators at the Golden Core Realm.
Let alone these two assassins, whose cultivation was merely at the Eighth Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm.
Boom!
The Taichu Fist Technique was unleashed to its fullest by Yun Lang.
Explosive sounds reverberated around them as countless fist shadows enveloped the opponents.
"Ah!"
The assassins had never encountered such a formidable expert and hastily began to evade, fearing they would be struck.
Yet, even so, the fist shadows did not spare them.
An assassin was hit, sent flying backward.
"How are you?"
His companion exclaimed in shock.
Seeing the assassin sent flying, he displayed a look of utter disbelief.
"I... I think my meridians have been ruptured."
The assassin said, his face contorted in pain.
The Taichu Fist Technique had struck him squarely.
Even if his meridians weren't ruptured, his bones had suffered severe injuries.
"Ah!"
The companion was completely panicked.
In just one brief encounter, Yun Lang had already defeated him so severely.
What was even more alarming was that Yun Lang was only at the second stage of Foundation Establishment Realm.
"You... you are definitely not at the Foundation Establishment Realm."
Easily defeating an assassin at the Eighth Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm meant his strength was at least at the Golden Core Realm.
"Haha, I already warned you that you are no match for me,"
Yun Lang laughed, tilting his head back.
He paid them no mind, knowing this was precisely what he needed to do.
"What!"
The assassins were dumbfounded.
Yun Lang's strength was indeed unfathomable.
However, what was strange was why he appeared to be only at the second stage of Foundation Establishment Realm.
Could he be hiding his true strength?
If he hadn't reached a certain realm, he wouldn't be able to suppress his cultivation even if he wanted to.
"Damn it! We've run into a formidable opponent today."
The assassins admitted defeat with resignation.
They had always dealt with minor figures, and even if they encountered masters, they would eliminate them with their combined efforts.
However, this situation seemed far more complicated. The opponent's strength was too overwhelming, and they were afraid they wouldn't be able to act.
"You took benefits from the Gao family, and now you're no match for me. How will you report back?"
"You..." the assassin frowned.
There was no mission they couldn't complete, but this time, they were truly unlucky.
"Do you really think it's that easy to deal with me?" Yun Lang stated fiercely.
Yun Lang had long wanted to teach these people from assassin organizations a lesson.
Boom!
A gust of fist wind struck towards the opponent.
"Ah!"
The assassin didn't even have time to react before his ribs were snapped.
"I'm leaving you alive because I want you to return and tell your organization that I will deal with you first."
"You... you..." The injured assassin stammered, unable to utter a coherent word, and could only watch as Yun Lang left.
When his companions arrived to meet him, Yun Lang was nowhere to be found.
After their inquiries, the severely injured assassin finally informed them that Yun Lang intended to attack their organization.
"What!"
"He actually..."
His companions were stunned.
They hadn't expected to provoke such trouble, which was quite troublesome.
"Damn it! Even if he didn't come, we wouldn't have let him go."
The organization had already received the Gao family's benefits, and their comrade had sacrificed his life.
