Four Seas Gang, Qingjing Sea Base.
Lang Songbai was worried and restless.
Two days had passed since the great battle in Xiaojing Alley of Guangde Square, and in those two days, Lang Songbai had been tormented.
At first, he still hoped that Jin Cunyue would return safely, as that would mean Zhao Ya had lost.
But this hope gradually faded as time passed, until the news came that Zhao Ya had returned, while Jin Cunyue was injured and fled; Lang Songbai knew.
It’s over!
His good days had come to an end.
Because if Zhao Ya could defeat a Meridian Opening master like Jin Cunyue, defeating him would naturally be even easier.
Lang Songbai could only pray silently, hoping Zhao Ya would overlook his existence, or better yet, not bother with him.
But deep down, he knew it was an unrealistic fantasy.
Zhao Ya would never let him go.
For this reason, Lang Songbai racked his brains, even planning to find an intermediary to plead on his behalf, but eventually gave up.
Because even a fool could see that Zhao Ya was destined to soar; a twenty-year-old Fifth Realm was simply a monstrous existence.
Who would offend such a promising young master for him?
So he could only cower at the Qingjing Sea base, attempting to find some peace of mind from the seemingly tight defense there.
Just as he was uneasy, someone quickly walked in.
"Report to Sea Lord, Sea Lord Xiong said he is unwell, his old injuries have relapsed, and he is bedridden, hence he cannot come to meet you."
Though he expected this, Lang Songbai was still greatly infuriated upon hearing the news.
"That bastard, so cowardly, he thinks feigning sickness will make Zhao Ya spare him? Unless his turtle shell is hard enough, he will still die."
Lang Songbai muttered curses under his breath, then clung to his last hope and asked, "What did Big Master say?"
"Big Master did not reply."
"Damn!"
Lang Songbai finally couldn’t hold back and cursed again, then started pacing back and forth in the room.
"I’ve risked my life for the Four Seas Gang, but when trouble comes, the gang just stands by, Huangfu Zhen, that old bastard, hides like a turtle, even the Profound Sun Sect bullies the weak and fears the strong, full of bravado in normal times, but cowers when facing a tough opponent, is there any justice?"
The people in the room didn’t dare make a sound, pretending not to hear Lang Songbai’s complaints.
Just as he was impotently raging, another member of the Four Seas Gang cautiously walked in and said timidly.
"Sea... Sea Lord."
"Speak up or spit it out!" Lang Songbai roared.
No sooner had he spoken than a soft laugh came from outside the door.
"Such a temper."
Hearing this voice, Lang Songbai felt like cold water was poured over him, his entire body shivering.
At the same time, Zhao Ya leisurely walked in from outside the door.
"Sea Lord Lang, I missed you since we last parted two days ago."
Lang Songbai’s face gradually turned pale, fear showing in his eyes.
"Zhao... Young Hero!"
Zhao Ya paid no heed and walked straight to a chair and sat down casually.
"Do you know why I came to you?"
Lang Songbai was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Very well, I won’t bully you, as long as you can take one of my moves without dying, this matter is over, how about it?" Zhao Ya said coldly.
Lang Songbai suddenly looked up, his face full of joy.
"Really?"
"Of course, it’s true!"
"Alright." Lang Songbai immediately agreed, fearing Zhao Ya would change his mind.
Lang Songbai knew well Zhao Ya’s prowess, but in his view, no matter how bad he was, he could withstand at least one move.
And as long as he could take one move, he would have dodged a bullet.
For that, he was naturally willing.
Zhao Ya smiled, "Very well, then I’ll make my move."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ya, who was sitting in the chair, suddenly flew up and punched forward.
Lang Songbai gathered all his Qi Blood, using all his strength, trying to withstand the punch.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the nearby tables and chairs were all shaken and flew, Lang Songbai didn’t even have time to grunt before he was sent flying, until he crashed through a wall, then landed.
Amidst the clouds of dust, Zhao Ya gracefully approached, then looked at Lang Songbai lying on the ground, coughing up blood.
"Unfortunately, you still didn’t withstand it."
Even though Lang Songbai’s body had no visible wounds, Zhao Ya knew very well that his punch had shattered Lang Songbai’s internal organs.
Not even immortals could save him now.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Lang Songbai’s eyes were full of unwillingness, but at the same time fragments of his organs began to spill from his mouth, and his eyes quickly dimmed.
In an instant, this former formidable Sea Lord of the Four Seas Gang was dead.
Zhao Ya turned his gaze to the trembling Four Seas Gang members, "Deal with the corpse!"
After saying this, Zhao Ya’s figure flickered and disappeared.
The gang members looked at each other, then scattered and fled.
Soon, the news of Zhao Ya killing Lang Songbai with one punch at the Qingjing Sea base spread throughout the Four Seas Gang.
In an instant, the entire Four Seas Gang became tense.
Many felt as if facing a great enemy.
Those who often did evil deeds were filled with fear, even planning to leave Yan Capital City to lie low for a while.
Celestial Cyan Sea Base.
When Xiong Kun heard the news, his face instantly turned grim.
At this moment, he deeply regretted his actions.
If he had known it would come to this, he would never have followed through back then.
