Chapter 457: Spare your life!

Looking at Jia Pingzhen's disdainful face, Lin Yang smiled and said.

"Jia Pingzhen, right? Have you heard of formations?"

"Of course I know."

He surveyed the interior, stepped back a few paces, and saw everyone drawing their weapons, preparing to attack Lin Yang.

He said, "Are you trying to tell me there's a formation inside this house?"

Lin Yang grinned and said to Jia Pingzhen.

"Congratulations, you got it right!"

He stomped his foot, and the formation inside the house began to activate.

The spiritual energy inside the house also began to rapidly increase at that moment.

At that moment, everyone wore an expression of disbelief.

It wasn't because of the formation Lin Yang activated, but because the house was filled with abundant spiritual energy.

This spiritual energy made them feel that their cultivation realms seemed to have loosened a bit.

"What's going on with this formation? It's practically heaven!"

Even the three who had come from Yanjing and seen the world were equally excited.

Cultivating here for one month is equivalent to cultivating outside for a year!

Thinking of this, their gazes instantly turned to Lin Yang.

If they could kill Lin Yang, wouldn't this place then be theirs?

However, before killing Lin Yang, they needed him to hand over control of the formation.

Now they already had a reason to kill Lin Yang.

Thinking this, they planned to subdue Lin Yang in a single move.

Looking at the excited crowd, Lin Yang also revealed a smile.

He said to the crowd, "Everyone, don't you feel this place is heaven?"

"Then, you will soon witness what hell is."

As his words fell, lightning appeared out of nowhere inside the house.

Boom—

A tremendous roar sounded instantly.

A bolt of lightning instantly struck down the wounded Master Cheng.

Looking at Master Cheng's charred corpse lying there.

The others froze, all looking up at the ceiling.

But inside the house, there was nothing.

Just as they lowered their heads, several bolts of lightning the size of a bowl's mouth appeared again.

Boom—

A deafening noise rang out, throwing them into panic.

When this round of lightning ended, two more corpses lay on the ground.

Now nobody dared to underestimate the enemy.

They immediately scattered and spread out, warily watching Lin Yang.

Seeing this, Lin Yang gave a faint smile and said.

"Do you think standing apart will help?"

Boom—

The third thunderclap sounded, and everyone scrambled for cover.

When the thunder ceased, two more had fallen.

Now only Jia Pingzhen and the three men Peng Yang summoned remained in the house.

Lin Yang unhurriedly walked to the sofa, sat down, and looked at them.

"Gentlemen, do you have anything else to say?"

The three men stared grimly at Lin Yang.

One of them, a man with only one eyebrow, said to Lin Yang.

"It's the formation that's powerful, not you!"

"As long as we capture you, we'll be fine!"

"Capture me?"

Lin Yang chuckled, "Not a bad idea—go ahead and try."

As his words fell, the temperature inside the house suddenly rose.

Jia Pingzhen and the others simultaneously looked up at the ceiling.

Above the ceiling, a huge lotus appeared.

The flaming lotus blossomed open, and a massive dragon's head emerged.

Seeing the dragon's head, Jia Pingzhen and the others were stunned.

They never imagined they could see a legendary dragon!

Although this dragon was formed from gathered flames, as it looked down on them it was still immensely imposing.

Jia Pingzhen swallowed, his voice trembling as he spoke.

"How is this possible!"

The other three, upon seeing the fire dragon, immediately understood.

The three of us can't catch Lin Yang tonight.

The scorching heat coming from the Huǒ lóng made them think about how to escape this villa.

Lin Yang slowly took a sip of water and said to them.

"You can also try to catch me now."

"If you don't want to try, then there's only a dead end."

The three exchanged a glance and shouted loudly.

"If we split up and run, we'll surely have a chance to escape!"

"By then, we'll have Major General Peng call all the Peng family elites; let's see if he can still be so arrogant."

After saying that, the three immediately split up and ran toward the window.

They all thought of breaking through the window to make a quick escape.

At the moment they moved, the Huǒ lóng also moved.

Its body circled once in the air, then dove downward.

With such speed, wherever it passed, the Formation (Array) inside the house was set off into ripples.

Before the three could get out, the giant dragon had already swallowed them.

"Looks like you still can't get out."

Just then, a Dagger appeared beside Lin Yang.

Jia Pingzhen, with a ferocious face, coldly laughed.

"So what? You still ended up getting close to me."

"Lin Yang, go die!"

His Dagger headed straight for Lin Yang's throat.

Just as he showed a look of success on his face, the Dagger lunging at Lin Yang's throat suddenly stopped.

His Dagger was pinched between Lin Yang's two fingers.

Lin Yang looked at him and said with a smile.

"What makes you think that just getting close will let you hurt me?"

Jia Pingzhen, whose dagger was seized, abruptly retreated.

He looked at Lin Yang in disbelief and questioned.

"At such close range and with such speed, how could you block my attack?!"

"Fast?"

Looking at Jia Pingzhen's incredulous face, Lin Yang shook his head and said.

"Your speed, in my eyes, is like that of a child."

"I don't even know why you think your speed is fast."

He stood up and stepped toward Jia Pingzhen.

"The gap between us—didn't you feel it during our first fight?"

Before Jia Pingzhen could speak, Lin Yang, with an expression of sudden realization, said.

"I remember now—that was Zhang Qiling who spent 500,000 to have me let you win."

"Isn't it because I let you win, making you think the gap between us isn't big?"

He walked up to Jia Pingzhen, looked down at him, and said.

"The gap between us is like the difference between clouds and mud."

Having said that, he pierced his shoulder with a Dagger.

Before he could scream, Lin Yang severed one of his hands.

Then, he burned it with fierce fire.

"Get lost—out of respect for Zhang Qiling, I'll spare your life."

"If you're still ungrateful, I'll send you on your way."

Jia Pingzhen, who had originally wanted to utter harsh words, upon seeing Lin Yang's gaze, immediately lowered his head, covered his wound, and slunk away.

Late at night, when Peng Yang arrived at the hospital and saw Jia Pingzhen lying on the bed, he couldn't help but frown.

Meanwhile, Sun Yingyue beside him had her eyes red from crying.

Upon seeing Peng Yang arrive, she shouted loudly.

"Peng Yang, what did you make Old Jia do?!"

"Why is his arm broken? Speak!"

The awakened Jia Pingzhen, with a weak voice, said to Sun Yingyue.

"Yingyue, go out; I want to say a few words to him."

Sun Yingyue wiped her tears and left the ward.

After leaving the ward, she immediately dialed Zhang Qiling's phone.

Although Jia Pingzhen didn't tell her, she also knew that this matter involved Lin Yang.

In the ward, the two men locked eyes, and Jia Pingzhen spoke.

"I'm not his match; he's very strong!"
