Rural Romantic Life

Chapter 296 Dragon's Den and Tiger's Lair

Although Lu Yang spoke with such disdain, he knew in his heart that the people he had easily dismissed were just some small fry at the bottom of the Wang family, and were not worth mentioning at all.

The true masters of the Wang family have yet to make their move.

He believed that his trip to the Wang family to annul the engagement with Wang Haotian would definitely lead to encounters with powerful ancient martial arts practitioners from the Wang family. He just didn't know how powerful they were.

Lu Yang composed himself and, with Chu Yuyao and Xin Yi, headed directly to the center of the Wang family manor, seemingly as if they were sightseeing.

During this process, although he noticed that there were many guards from the Wang family around, these guards did not attack them again, nor did they show any intention of stopping them.

Before long, Lu Yang and his two companions walked into a huge and incredibly luxurious hall in the Wang family manor. The moment they entered, his gaze was drawn to a group of people gathered not far away.

Among them, one person sat in the highest seat of the Wang family. He was a middle-aged man over fifty years old, with a stout build and a chiseled face with very distinct features.

Lu Yang noticed a resemblance between this man's appearance and Wang Haotian's, and he could easily guess that this man was Wang Haotian's father, Wang Junheng, who was also the current head of the Wang family.

Lu Yang's gaze shifted slightly, and he noticed an old man standing to the side, looking like a withered tree. He appeared to be in his sixties, with a wrinkled face that resembled a walnut.

At this moment, the other party's cold eyes were staring straight at him, like a real king cobra.

Lu Yang guessed that this person was probably Wu Chen's junior brother, whom he had killed, who was also Wang Haotian's master.

Indeed, the other party was Wu Chen's junior brother, Wang Haotian's master, named Wu Mu.

Lu Yang's gaze quickly fell on Wang Haotian, who was glaring at him with gritted teeth. If looks could kill, Lu Yang would have been devoured alive by those eyes long ago.

He had recently crippled the other party's hands, cutting off their path to martial arts and rendering them useless. The other party truly hated him to the core.

However, Lu Yang ignored the other party's venomous and hateful gaze, and instead had the leisure to glance at the other members of the Wang family.

During this process, he also discovered several ancient martial arts practitioners in the Wang family who had achieved a fairly high level of martial arts skill.

As Lu Yang's gaze swept across the entire room, all the eyes of the Wang family present also focused on him.

They had recently learned from Wang Haotian that Lu Yang had not only crippled Wang Haotian's hand, but had also killed Wu Chen, a sorcerer who had mastered the art of Gu poison. They were all extremely shocked.

They all knew that Wang Haotian was the most outstanding martial arts prodigy among the direct descendants of their Wang family. His martial arts strength had reached the ninth level of the Acquired Realm. Among the younger generation in the entire ancient city, only three martial arts prodigies were slightly better than him.

They couldn't fathom how Lu Yang, the kid Wang Haotian mentioned, could be so monstrous, a mere lad in his early twenties, that he could so easily cripple Wang Haotian's hand.

This shocked them immensely. What shocked them even more was that Lu Yang, this young upstart, actually killed Wu Chen, who possessed the martial arts strength of the Innate Realm. Even though Wu Chen used the most terrifying witchcraft, he was ultimately devoured by his own witchcraft, leaving only a pool of blood.

suddenly!

Wang Haotian sneered at Lu Yang as he walked in, his voice filled with venomous resentment: "You little bastard, you're really something else. I never thought you'd actually dare to come to our Wang family to annul the engagement?"

At first, Wang Haotian thought that Lu Yang was just venting his anger in front of him, and that Lu Yang would definitely not have the guts to actually bring Chu Yuyao to their Wang family to annul the engagement.

After all, the Wang family is no ordinary family, but a real century-old family with a profound foundation. Not only are there many martial arts practitioners in the family, but there are also many ancient martial arts masters.

If the other party actually comes to break off the engagement, it's like trespassing into a dragon's den or a tiger's lair; they'll die without a burial place.

Little did he know that not long after he told his father and some other high-ranking members of the Wang family about what he had experienced in the Wang family, someone immediately ran in to report that Lu Yang was bringing Chu Yuyao and Xin Yi to their Wang family to break off the engagement.

This is why Wang Junheng gave the order to have some people at the gate slightly hinder Lu Yang and his companions, giving him more time to gather all the high-ranking members of the Wang family and martial arts prodigies into the Wang family's main hall.

Then they waited for Lu Yang and the other two to arrive.

Lu Yang scoffed, "You little bastard, your Wang family isn't some real den of dragons and tigers in my eyes, why would I dare to come!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Haotian was incredulous. Lu Yang remained calm and composed in the face of such a large gathering from the Wang family, and even dared to speak rudely, which truly infuriated him.

Not only Wang Haotian, but the other members of the Wang family were also extremely angry.

This was especially true of some of the Wang family's martial arts prodigies who considered themselves no less capable than Lu Yang. When they first saw Lu Yang, they had great doubts about Wang Haotian's words.

They believed that Lu Yang was only in his early twenties, and even if he was a true martial arts prodigy, he couldn't possibly be much stronger than the martial arts geniuses of their aristocratic families.

In this era of declining martial arts, one cannot truly grow into a martial arts master simply by having martial arts talent. Rather, one needs the most important martial arts training resources to grow rapidly.

Many members of the Wang family believed that their martial arts talent was in no way inferior to Lu Yang's, and that their martial arts cultivation resources were no less than his. In addition, given that they were older than him, their overall martial arts cultivation was probably no less than his.

It may even be stronger, not weaker.

Driven by this powerful belief, a martial arts prodigy from the Wang family suddenly stepped forward from the crowd and said mockingly to Lu Yang, "Boy, I've heard you're a true martial arts prodigy. Now let me personally test you and see if you really are!"

I hope you won't disappoint me!

Swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared from his spot. When he reappeared, his body was less than a meter away from Lu Yang.

Clang!

The sword was drawn, and a flash of light, like a deadly serpent, struck directly at Lu Yang's face.

At the same time, the other party said with a playful tone, "Kid, you better catch this, or your head will be shredded into watermelon pulp by my magical sword..."
