Slaying His Enemy with His Own Hands①
After consuming the miraculous Immortal Herb, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Lu Yang's physical condition improved significantly. Coupled with his growth over the past few years, Lu Yang's appearance has completely shed his childish look, now resembling that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.
Nuoding Dean suddenly met Lu Yang's gaze, and he didn't recognize him at first. But the way Lu Yang looked at him gave him a chilling feeling, as if the other man was looking at him like he was a dead man.
Fortunately, Qian Renxue struck up a conversation with Lu Yang Lu Yang, which made him look away. Otherwise, Nuoding Dean might have already embarrassed himself in front of everyone.
On the other side, Qian Renxue couldn't find anyone who had a grudge against Lu Yang, so she simply asked directly, "Since you have a grudge, what do you plan to do?"
"I'll handle it myself after the celebration. Revenge is most satisfying when done personally," Lu Yang replied.
Upon hearing this answer, Qian Renxue silently looked at Lu Yang for a while before nodding gently and turning back to talk to the nobles of the Balak Kingdom.
Their conversation wasn't kept secret from those present. At this moment, some astute individuals had already begun to pay close attention to the young man beside Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, because they sensed that Xue Qinghe's attitude towards Lu Yang was quite unusual.
At this moment, Qian Renxue's feelings were somewhat complicated.
She knew very well that Lu Yang's decision was right. It was best for him to avenge himself. But for some reason, she really hoped that Lu Yang would rely on her a little. It was as if that was what she most wanted to see.
Qian Renxue didn't know why she felt this way. As a girl, sharing her feelings with her family and seeking answers would probably be the best thing to do in such a situation. However, Qian Renxue's family had long been broken up, and her mother was unlikely to give her much care.
The celebration was tedious and boring, consisting of nothing more than recounting the awakening of ancient Soul Master, how they reclaimed human dignity from the mouths of Soul Beast, and how they overcame a dark period before achieving their current life.
Similar celebrations exist in various countries across the Douluo Continent. Among them, the one who is praised for leading humanity through the dark ages is the Angel God worshipped by the Spirit Hall.
However, in order to weaken the influence of the Spirit Hall, these countries in the Douluo Continent have long since concealed this truth. Now, apart from some high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall, perhaps only the members of the Angel Legion truly know about and still believe in the Angel God.
Perhaps because of her connection to the Angel God, Qian Renxue remained focused throughout the entire celebration. However, as the celebration drew to a close, her emotions noticeably shifted.
Lu Yang was completely unaware of all this. Midway through the celebration, he had already made an excuse to slip away and found a seat in a teahouse along the only way out of the celebration venue.
In the past, Lu Yang had no cultivation or background, so he could only endure being humiliated. But now he is no longer the six-year-old child who didn't even have his First Soul Ring. It's time to settle some scores.
About an hour later, people began to emerge from the celebration area. Lu Yang spread his Mental Power, searching for Nuoding Dean's figure in the crowd.
He acted cautiously, without alerting anyone else. Only when he found Nuoding Dean did he immediately lock his Mental Power onto him.
Nuoding Dean, who had been chatting and laughing with his colleagues, suddenly felt a tightness all over his body, and that ominous feeling returned. But this time, he looked around and still couldn't find the source of the feeling.
The others, seeing this, inquired with concern, but Nuoding Dean only said that he was a little tired from the long journey and that he would be fine after going back to rest.
After turning a few corners, Nuoding Dean parted ways with the others. But his inner unease kept him walking on the main road, as if trying to find some sense of security in it.
Unfortunately, although his idea was good, Lu Yang had no intention of backing down.
Just as Nuoding Dean walked through a crowded section of road and felt safe, Lu Yang quickened his pace to catch up.
When Lu Yang placed his hand on Nuoding Dean's shoulder, Nuoding Dean was so provoked that he wanted to jump up. However, Lu Yang's grip was quite firm, and he couldn't actually jump.
Nuoding Dean turned his head in alarm, only to be met with a rapidly approaching fist.
Lu Yang's fist slammed into Nuoding Dean's face, knocking the middle-aged man to the ground.
"Nuoding Dean, it's time to pay back the debt you owed three years ago." Lu Yang's voice reached Nuoding Dean's ears, causing the Nuoding Dean, who was getting up, to freeze in place and almost fall back to the ground.
He looked up at Lu Yang in horror, and a face from the depths of his memory suddenly surfaced, gradually merging with the Lu Yang before him.
"You... you are that... that child with Innate Full Soul Power!" Nuoding Dean exclaimed in horror.
Upon hearing his words, the startled people around him all turned their gazes to Lu Yang. Their conversation also quieted them down.
These people initially mistook Lu Yang for a thug, but after overhearing the conversation, others realized that the two must have had a grudge against each other.
"Back then, you Yu Xiaogang to force me to become your disciple. You deliberately ordered the teachers in the academy not to take me to obtain Soul Ring and to stall me as much as possible. You have to give me an explanation for this today." Lu Yang stepped forward, and with each step, part of his body was covered by Soul Power armor, and a Soul Ring would rise from beneath his feet.
When he arrived in front of Nuoding Dean, he had already put on his Soul Power armor, and his four Soul Ring— purple, purple, purple, and black—were also revealed to Nuoding Dean.
Nuoding Dean had initially intended to resist, was terrified and hurriedly explained, "I... I was bewitched by the Grandmaster! It was all the Grandmaster's idea, it had nothing to do with me!"
However, Lu Yang was very dissatisfied with his answer. If Nuoding Dean had dared to admit his mistake, Lu Yang might have only punished him. But shifting blame is the most despicable behavior, no matter where it is.
Therefore, Lu Yang acted immediately. His first and Second Soul Ring flashed in succession. He activated the two amplifying Soul Skill, Sunflame Dawn and Wings of the Sun, and then raised his hand, slowly speaking to Nuoding Dean, "Blazing Sun Shakes the Earth!"
The moment he finished speaking, a blazing fireball materialized out of thin air and slammed directly down on Nuoding Dean below.
When the fireball of Ultimate Fire struck Nuoding Dean, he didn't even have time to beg for mercy before he was reduced to ashes in the Lie Yan.
Having killed Nuoding Dean, Lu Yang turned his gaze towards Nuoding City. Now that he was already in the Balak Kingdom, should he take the opportunity to return to Nuoding City and deal with Yu Xiaogang as well?
Just as Lu Yang was thinking this, She Long suddenly appeared beside him. She Long placed his hand on Lu Yang's shoulder, and then the two of them disappeared from the crowd's sight in a flash.
