Chapter 122: Intense Unease (2nd Update)

"You're courting death!"

Seeing how insidious Fire Scorpion was, actually attacking him while he was in the middle of a move, Zhou Lang roared in anger. His True Qi surged throughout his body, and with a wave of his bare hand, the three throwing darts Fire Scorpion had shot at him flew back in reverse.

"You… you are actually a Cultivator!"

Zhou Lang had broken her hidden weapons purely by projecting his True Qi externally. Fire Scorpion could hardly believe her eyes. Only now did she realize that Zhou Lang's cultivation was unfathomable, far above theirs.

Just as Fire Scorpion finished speaking, the three darts were already in front of her. She wanted to catch them with her hands, but at that exact moment, the darts changed direction, sinking downwards and shooting towards her thighs. Unable to dodge in time, she was struck by the darts consecutively!

"Ah!"

Fire Scorpion let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground.

"Brothers, retreat! This intel is total crap. If we don't leave now, we're all going to be finished here!" Seeing this scene, Javelin roared and prepared to run down the mountain. At this moment, he already knew that Zhou Lang's strength was simply too terrifying.

"Want to escape? Do you still have that chance?"

Zhou Lang cold-snorted, swept his foot across the ground, and stones flew out, striking the Acupoints of Golden Blade Wang, Javelin, and Black Bear respectively.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

These three guys fell to the ground almost at the same time.

Seeing that Zhou Lang had subdued the four masked men, Ivanova finally felt relieved. During the battle between Zhou Lang and the four masked men just now, her heart had been pounding, fearing that something might go wrong.

"Miss, who are you?"

It was only then that Ivanova noticed and began to size up Xiao Xi.

Although Xiao Xi was wearing sportswear, her figure and temperament were fully revealed. She even felt that she was slightly inferior to Xiao Xi. Since Xiao Xi had appeared here with Zhou Lang to save her, she became a bit vigilant, thinking, "Could this be one of Brother Lang's women? Why are they all getting prettier and prettier? Won't the harem be fighting every day in the future?"

"Big sister, my name is Zhou Xi. I'm Brother Lang's cousin. It's all my fault. I didn't call Brother Lang in time before coming to Feiyun City, only calling when I reached the train station. That's why Brother Lang went to pick me up. I didn't expect these four masked men to sneak into Brother Lang's house and kidnap you."

Xiao Xi said. Before coming, Zhou Lang had already briefed her on these details.

"So that's how it is. Zhou Xi, your martial arts are truly impressive. When I was thrown out by Brother Lang just now, I was scared to death, but I didn't expect you to catch me so effortlessly."

Hearing Xiao Xi say this, the doubts in Ivanova's heart vanished instantly. She had heard Zhou Lang mention before that Zhou Xi would be coming to Feiyun City in a while, so she didn't suspect anything at all. Besides, cousins couldn't have a romantic relationship, so it had no impact on her; she didn't need to worry about anything.

"Just some minor skills, not worth mentioning," Xiao Xi said with a smile.

"Then let's go over and see. I haven't offended anyone, so why would such powerful people kidnap me?" Ivanova said immediately. Her family ran a Judo gym, and she herself was a black belt, so her courage was ultimately much greater than the average girl.

Immediately, Ivanova and Xiao Xi walked to Zhou Lang's side together. At this moment, Zhou Lang was interrogating these four guys and had already torn the masks off their faces.

Golden Blade Wang was an old man over sixty. Javelin and Black Bear were both men in their early thirties. As for Fire Scorpion, she was only in her twenties and exceptionally beautiful. If not for the scorpion tattoo on her neck, it was likely that no one would ever think she was an assassin proficient in hidden weapons.

"Who sent you here?"

Zhou Lang released his powerful Aura and looked at the four assassins lying on the ground. In his view, if he had offended someone, they should target him. Kidnapping his woman was truly going too far. Even with his good self-restraint, he wanted to kill.

"Zhou Lang, even if we tell you who we are, we won't survive today anyway. This old man isn't that stupid." Golden Blade Wang said. It looked like he didn't intend to talk.

"You don't intend to talk either? If you confess voluntarily, you might still be able to save your lives. If I need to use my methods, I can't guarantee you'll see the sun tomorrow."

Zhou Lang said, his body radiating Killing Intent.

"How can we believe what you say?"

Javelin said. This guy was a little tempted, and Black Bear also lowered his head, seemingly very conflicted about whether to submit to Zhou Lang.

At this point, they knew Zhou Lang's strength and understood that if they didn't reveal the person who ordered them, they would likely be killed directly by Zhou Lang.

Zhou Lang was a Cultivator; destroying bodies and erasing traces was simply too easy for him. Even if he dumped their bodies on Leigong Mountain, they probably wouldn't be discovered for a year or more. And after a long time, their bodies would be exposed to the sun and rain on this mountain, and it was feared that even their faces would be unrecognizable.

"You have no right to negotiate with me." Zhou Lang cold-snorted and said: "You four are basically at the Master level of cultivation and can be considered experts, but in front of me, you are worthless. I want you to speak, and you must speak."

"Zhou Lang, you are a Cultivator and can indeed insta-kill the four of us, but if we four don't talk, there's nothing you can do. Stop bullshitting in front of this old man."

Golden Blade Wang snorted. This old guy obviously didn't believe Zhou Lang's words; he thought Zhou Lang was just trying to scare them to get information out of them.

Zhou Lang stopped talking, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he looked indifferently at the four people: Golden Blade Wang, Fire Scorpion, Javelin, and Black Bear.

Golden Blade Wang, Fire Scorpion, and Javelin were already looking at Zhou Lang, so their gazes were immediately drawn in by Zhou Lang's eyes. Black Bear, who had his head lowered, didn't know why everyone had suddenly stopped talking, so he raised his head to look at Zhou Lang. His gaze was immediately locked, becoming vacant and dazed, as if he had fallen into some kind of trance.

In less than a minute, the faces of Golden Blade Wang and the other three turned pale, just like walking corpses. Needless to say, their brains had been temporarily controlled by Zhou Lang using a mental control technique. Because their cultivation was far inferior to Zhou Lang's and their Divine Thought was not as powerful as his, controlling them was simply an easy task for Zhou Lang.

"Zhou Xi, what's wrong with them?" Ivanova saw this strange scene and asked Xiao Xi in a low voice.

"Big sister, just wait and watch the show," Xiao Xi said with a slight smile.

"Now, can you tell me the person behind the scenes?" Zhou Lang asked indifferently.

"We were sent by Young Master Shangguan Yu. The Young Master only said that you had previously defeated several of his Advanced Martial Artist subordinates, so the four of us didn't take you seriously. We wanted to break directly into your house and kill you inside, but we didn't expect you to be out. So we kidnapped this mixed-race beauty to lure you into the trap and kill you here on Leigong Mountain."

Golden Blade Wang said without any hesitation, but at this moment, there was no expression on his face, just like a robot.

"Shangguan Yu, he has some nerve. It seems the lesson I gave him last time wasn't enough." After feeling a moment of surprise, Zhou Lang cold-snorted.

The Shangguan Family was being monitored by Yamamoto Yuki and Haneda Michiko. If the Shangguan Family had any movements, he should have known in advance. Could it be that something happened to Yamamoto Yuki and Haneda Michiko?

A strong sense of unease welled up in Zhou Lang's heart.
