"Who is it?"
Seeing the short-haired man gravely injure Ah San with one move, Qi Tuojiang and Kong Wudao's faces changed drastically as they shouted in unison.
However, when the two saw the face of the attacker clearly, their expressions became even more shocked.
"Shen Lang, how could it be you?"
With a height of 1.8 meters, a body as robust as a small mountain, and that handsome and delicate face, no one else in this world could it be but Shen Lang.
Yet, Qi Tuojiang and Kong Wudao never expected Shen Lang to return, and to attack Ah San in such a simple and brutal manner.
"What? Shocked it's me?"
Shen Lang looked at Qi Tuojiang and Kong Wudao, smiling, "I was in a hurry earlier and suddenly forgot one thing. Our attention was all on Zhao Shengtian, and we forgot that there was a murderer present at the scene."
"That's right, Brother, he's the murderer, we can't let him go," Rong Haodong said angrily, looking at Ah San after hearing Shen Lang's words.
"Yes, please, Young Master Shen, mete out severe punishment to the murderer," Rong Haodong's entourage reacted, shouting righteously.
"Don't worry, we will not stand by and let a murderer escape in broad daylight. We will take the murderer back to the Martial Guard Bureau now."
Shen Lang waved his hand at Rong Haodong and the others. Soon, everyone quieted down. Then, Shen Lang patted his chest and said.
"Thank you, Young Master Shen, for upholding justice."
Hearing this, Rong Haodong and his followers became as if injected with chicken blood, extremely excited.
"Everyone, you are all witnesses. Come back to the Martial Guard Bureau with me to cooperate with the investigation. Is that okay?"
After Shen Lang finished speaking, Rong Haodong said.
"Of course, no problem. We are willing to obey all your commands, Young Master Shen."
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, Rong Haodong and his followers answered in unison.
"Young Master Qi, Young Master Kong, you are also witnesses. Come back with me, is that okay?"
Seeing Rong Haodong and his group's response, Shen Lang looked at Qi Tuojiang and Kong Wudao and said with a smile.
"You want us to go back with you? On what grounds?"
Kong Wudao glared at Shen Lang and said.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look, this is the difference in breeding," Shen Lang said with a smile. "The same witnesses, Young Master Rong and the others cooperate without a second word, but when it comes to you, Young Master Kong, the first thing out of your mouth is 'on what grounds?' It seems that the young masters of Longdu are not as well-mannered as the young masters of the Northwest."
"You..."
Seeing Shen Lang making such a big deal out of it, Kong Wudao's face turned very ugly. He said to Shen Lang, "You are deliberately targeting us, right?"
"The small-mindedness of a petty person judging a noble one. Kong Wudao, this is all you're capable of."
Shen Lang squinted at Kong Wudao and said, "I am acting on official duty, yet you say I am targeting you. There is something wrong with you."
"Yes, Young Master Kong, we can all cooperate with the investigation, can't you?"
After Shen Lang finished speaking, Rong Haodong walked over with his men, a forced smile on his face, and said, "Are you more noble than us?"
"Young Master Rong, this is a misunderstanding. Young Master Kong didn't mean anything by it."
Seeing that a conflict was about to erupt, Qi Tuojiang quickly stepped forward to mediate, saying to Rong Haodong and the others, "Young Master Rong's brother was killed, and we will naturally cooperate with the testimony and the investigation."
"That's more like a friend," Rong Haodong said with satisfaction, glancing at Qi Tuojiang, while also giving Kong Wudao a displeased look.
However, just as Rong Haodong finished speaking, Ah San, who had been attacked and injured by Shen Lang, had stood up at some point. He stared fiercely at Shen Lang and said, "Sneaking is not a skill. If you want to take me back for investigation, show me some ability."
After speaking, a cold and venomous look flashed in Ah San's eyes. He quickly closed in on Shen Lang and directly poked at Shen Lang's eyes with two fingers.
"Brother, be careful."
Rong Haodong's face changed as he shouted.
But before Rong Haodong could finish, Ah San's two fingers had already poked at Shen Lang's eyes.
Rong Haodong and the others had just witnessed how Ah San killed with his two fingers, so their faces changed drastically.
"Master..."
Seeing this, Zhou Jian and Yang Junlin also had grim expressions and called out.
As for Qi Tuojiang and Kong Wudao, they couldn't help but reveal a smile at the corner of their mouths.
People in this world may not be overly happy when their friends get rich and promoted, but they are always delighted to see their enemies suffer misfortune.
If Ah San could really eliminate Shen Lang, it would be enough for Qi Tuojiang and Kong Wudao to throw a three-day banquet to celebrate.
However, Qi Tuojiang and Kong Wudao rejoiced too soon.
Ah San's attack was fast, but Shen Lang's was even faster. As soon as Ah San's fingers touched Shen Lang's eyelids, they were grabbed by Shen Lang's right hand.
"Crack—"
Shen Lang forcefully broke Ah San's two fingers.
Pain in the fingers is connected to the heart.
No matter how resilient someone was, they couldn't endure having their fingers broken like this. Ah San's pig-like screams immediately echoed throughout the hall.
"Bang—"
While Ah San was screaming, Shen Lang quickly kicked him in the lower abdomen, instantly shattering Ah San's dantian.
With the dantian shattered, the inner energy within Ah San flowed away like water from a punctured balloon, leaving not a single drop behind.
"You... you are a mid-stage Earth realm expert?"
Ah San was a peak Profound realm master, and he was quite confident in his strength. To be able to cripple him so easily, Shen Lang must be a mid-stage Earth realm expert.
"Mid-stage Earth realm?"
Hearing Ah San's words, Qi Tuojiang and Kong Wudao's faces changed. They secretly pondered, "Has Shen Lang reached such a realm? This kid is a monster. How has he grown so terrifying in such a short time? If he continues to grow, he will seriously threaten them."
"He must die, Shen Lang must die, no matter the means."
"That's right, you have some insight. I am indeed a mid-stage Earth realm expert."
Hearing Ah San's words, Shen Lang smiled playfully and said.
"Impossible, this is completely impossible. How can there be a mid-stage Earth realm expert in their twenties? How did you do it?"
Ah San, enduring the severe pain, said, "Tell me the answer, and let me lose convincingly."
"It's very simple, I just practiced casually every day. What, is reaching the mid-stage Earth realm difficult?"
Shen Lang said with a sly grin, "If you find it difficult, it's probably because you're not good enough, right?"
"You..."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Ah San was enraged. Coupled with his severe injuries, he spat out a mouthful of blood and then fainted.
Seeing this, Shen Lang looked at the two Martial Guards who had followed him and smiled, "He's fine. Take him away."
"Yes—"
The two Martial Guards smiled slightly upon hearing this and then took Ah San away.
And Zhao Shengtian's engagement ceremony, with his arrest and Ah San being taken away, had come to a complete end.
