Chapter 280: One Move Defeats the Enemy

Everyone present also looked utterly shocked.

Is Lin Yang trying to learn, warming wine and beheading Hua Xiong?

Hearing this, Cao Yuanwei let out an unhappy snort.

In front of so many people, that guy Lin Yang actually started showing off!

He couldn't help but admire, that guy's courage is truly huge!

However, no one would believe that Lin Yang could defeat Shi Chengchun in such a short time.

After all, Shi Chengchun is an elder from the Heavenly Martial Hall's Yanjing headquarters.

Such a big shot is not commonly seen.

Cao Yuanwei said discontentedly.

"Showing off in front of so many people, I think you'll end up acting like an idiot!"

Zhang Wei beside him sneered.

"Lin Yang says that because he doesn't have a clear understanding of his own strength."

"What kind of person is Elder Shi? He's a core elder member!"

"Soon he'll know what 'there's always a higher heaven' means!"

Upon hearing that, Cao Yuanwei's face broke into a smile.

What he most wants to see is Lin Yang's horrified expression later!

"It really makes one anticipate, that guy being stepped on!"

"In front of so many people in the Southwest, he'll lose all face; I wonder if he'll ever be able to hold his head up here again."

Just as Cao Yuanwei was proudly speaking, Lin Yang had already grasped his longsword and stepped outside.

Outside, the snow was pure white, and the wind filled the sky with snow.

Shi Chengchun pointed his sword at Lin Yang, his face full of arrogance.

"You're a junior; I'll let you have three moves."

Lin Yang shook his head, looking at Shi Chengchun.

"Defeating you takes only one move."

Hearing this, Shi Chengchun laughed angrily.

"Fine, then let's see how you can defeat me in one move!"

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Yang raised his longsword, the tip pointing straight at Shi Chengchun.

Suddenly, Lin Yang moved.

At the instant of his movement, the wind and snow seemed to freeze in that moment.

In the air, a sword flash streaked past, splitting the falling snow.

Before anyone knew it, Lin Yang was already standing behind Shi Chengchun.

Shi Chengchun stood there dazed, silent.

Lin Yang sheathed his sword and then walked back inside.

Everyone looked puzzled, their eyes full of confusion.

Cao Yuanwei shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Lin Yang, what are you playing at? You weren't supposed to be sparring with Elder Shi, so why did you go inside?"

"Are you scared? If you are, just obediently beg for mercy."

As Cao Yuanwei shouted triumphantly, blood appeared on Shi Chengchun's chest.

Slowly, the blood soaked through his front clothing, like a plum blossom blooming in the wind and snow.

Zhang Wei and the others, seeing this, jumped to their feet.

They immediately rushed out, shouting.

"Elder Shi, are you alright?"

Shi Chengchun coughed heavily twice, his gaze toward Lin Yang inside the house, his eyes full of shock.

"I am not his match!"

"His strength is probably above our Ten Great Elders!"

Upon hearing that, both Cao Yuanwei and Zhang Wei were stunned.

At the moment they were stunned, Shi Chengchun gritted his teeth and said.

"We, let's go quickly!"

Now, Cao Yuanwei didn't dare to show off.

Taking Shi Chengchun with them, they left in a dejected manner.

Only after they had gone far away did everyone come to their senses.

Everyone's gaze toward Lin Yang was filled with reverence.

You know, that was an elder from the Heavenly Martial Hall headquarters.

Now Lin Yang not only possesses formidable strength himself, but also has various big shots surrounding him.

This, the Dragon of the Southwest!

Thinking of this, everyone returned to their seats, raising their cups to toast Lin Yang.

Some people also inquired whether Lin Yang was married.

All these inquiries were shut down by Lu Linglong.

He directly told those people that someone had come to Lin Yang's side, so they should give up.

Everyone saw Lu Linglong's excited look and suddenly understood.

While some people were still crowding to toast Lin Yang, the clever ones had already gone to toast Lu Yong'an and them.

After all, they will eventually be family.

Seeing this, An Ni Shang gritted her teeth.

What was I being reserved about just now? What was I being shy about?

If I had known earlier, I would have just stepped forward and told everyone that Lin Yang is mine—wouldn't that have sufficed?

That would also count as the rice being cooked.

After the year-end party dispersed, Lu Linglong stayed behind to clean the house.

Seeing this, An Ni Shang also stayed behind.

Zhao Feiyan and Lin Ying'er saw this scene, exchanged a glance, and smiled.

"This year's New Year, we're not alone anymore."

On the third day of the New Year, the festive atmosphere was still strong.

Then someone came looking for Lin Yang.

The visitor had white-streaked temples but was full of vigor.

Behind the middle-aged person followed Zhang Wei and Hou Yaoguo.

Looking at them, Lin Yang said calmly.

"The New Year hasn't even passed, and you three are already so eager to come seek revenge?"

Hearing Lin Yang's words, the middle-aged man with white-streaked temples burst out laughing.

"Master Lin, how dare we come to seek revenge?"

"I merely came to have a chat with you."

"I don't know, may I come inside to talk?"

Lin Yang made way and said.

"Please."

Inside, An Ni Shang and the others, seeing it was Zhang Wei and them, were all on guard.

"Linglong, take Ni Shang and Ying'er out to play; I need to discuss something with the three of you."

Without An Ni Shang and the others present, Lin Yang felt confident.

Even if ten more came, inside this house he would be invincible.

Lu Linglong nodded and didn't say anything more.

She took them and left.

After An Ni Shang and the others left, the middle-aged man laughed loudly and said.

"Mr. Lin, you really have many lovely confidantes."

Lin Yang looked at him, frowned, and said.

"So, what exactly do you want to do?"

The middle-aged man looked at Lin Yang and said.

"Let me introduce myself: I'm Gu Cheng, Grand Elder of the Heavenly Martial Hall in Yanjing."

"In the Heavenly Martial Hall, my authority is second only to the Hall Master."

Lin Yang showed no panic, he calmly inquired.

"You came here to vent anger for your subordinates, right?"

Gu Cheng shook his head and said to Lin Yang.

"They were inferior in skill, defeated by your hands; I have nothing to say."

Lin Yang raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Gu Cheng chuckled and said to Lin Yang.

"I want you to join our Heavenly Martial Hall."

"With your strength, after I step down, the Grand Elder position will surely be yours!"

"Moreover, being so young, you might be able to contend for the position of Head Hall Master."

Lin Yang also didn't expect that Gu Cheng had come to invite him to join the Heavenly Martial Hall.

He chuckled and said.

"What realm is your Hall Master in?"

When mentioning their Hall Master, Gu Cheng and the others all wore proud expressions.

"Our Hall Master has already entered the Divine Realm!"

"In the mundane world, he has no equal!"

The mundane world?

Lin Yang looked at Gu Cheng; it seems this guy has had contact with Xuánmén persons.

He chuckled and looked at Gu Cheng.

"A mere Divine Realm, and he sits in the Hall Master's position."

"Then if I join the Heavenly Martial Hall, what gives him the right to stand above me?"

"Bold!"

Zhang Wei let out a fierce shout.

His gaze was extremely fierce!

"You dare to be so disrespectful to our Hall Master; you deserve to die!"

Hou Yaoguo shouted loudly!
