This was the first time Li Yang had truly witnessed a portion of the Jade Prince's strength. Clearly, at least three of the people behind him were experts, their Ming Jin (vital energy) skills quite impressive. They were only slightly inferior to Simba, and any such person could easily dominate any region.
"Yu'er, Yu'er, are you alright?" When Prince Yu saw Yu Tihu from afar, his expression immediately changed, and his originally imposing and dignified steps became hurried.
His male and female bodyguards, or staff members, all rushed to run.
"Daddy... I'm fine!" Yu Tihu rushed forward like a swallow returning to its nest, threw herself into the arms of Prince Yu, and whispered as she hugged his waist.
Li Yang was secretly annoyed. Damn it, that old man dared to molest my wife!
A sexy and glamorous woman rushed out of the crowd and headed straight for Li Yang. Who else could it be but the beautiful and charming Song Tian'er?
"Li Yang! Are you alright?" The former underworld princess looked worried, her expression somewhat haggard, with dark circles and prominent eye bags.
Clearly, she hadn't slept well during the days Li Yang was away, constantly worrying about him.
Touched, Li Yang hugged her tightly, took a deep breath, and, intoxicated by her captivating fragrance, said emotionally, "I'm fine. Thank you for your hard work!"
"Hmph! You know how hard it is for him!" As expected of the fiery beauty she once was, after the initial worry and arousal, she reverted to her brash nature. She bit Li Yang hard.
"Damn it! Are you a dog?!" Li Yang exclaimed, grabbing her shapely buttocks.
"There are so many people. You pervert!" Song Tian'er exclaimed, pushing Li Yang away and cursing him with a flushed face.
"Hehe, I've missed you so much, I wish I could do you right now!" Li Yang said lewdly.
Song Tian'er's cheeks flushed even more, but her heart fluttered. She had just become a new wife and tasted the joys of being a woman, but she was immediately separated from Li Yang. She was also sleepless and missed him terribly.
"You're such a pain! It'll take you a long time to get back!" Song Tian'er scolded, though her eyes were already glistening with tears.
Li Yang knew she was already aroused, and chuckled lewdly a few times.
"Cough cough..." Prince Yu suddenly coughed.
"Oh? Your Highness, is your throat sore? Does anyone have any throat lozenges or throat soothing tablets?" Li Yang called out insincerely.
No one paid him any attention. The Jade Prince's face flushed with anger; didn't this guy know what his cough meant?
Flirting and bantering in public, how shameless!
"My voice is fine, no need for you to worry! How did the competition go?" Prince Yu hadn't seen the raw material in Simba's arms yet, and Yu Tihu hadn't mentioned the result, so he still didn't know what had happened.
Li Yang glanced at Simba and scolded, "Simba, do you even know how to be a servant? Why don't you show the prince the treasure in your arms?"
Simba was frustrated but couldn't argue back, so he stepped forward dejectedly and said, "Your Highness, look!"
"Phew—raw material? The outer skin is so thin?" Prince Yu gasped in surprise.
"Yes, it's so rare! So unusual!" Jade Bracelet exclaimed as he came up.
Chapter 420: Killing Li Yang
"Yes, it's so rare! So extraordinary!" Jade Bracelet exclaimed as he came up. "You've found a vein?" Jade King's incredulous gaze swept over Li Yang and Jade Tihu, hoping to find some clue.
The others were also shocked. After all, jade mines are being mined very aggressively these days, and the discovery of new mines is extremely difficult. Their discovery of a new mine means they have enormous wealth.
"Dad, you're so smart! Yes, we've discovered a new vein!" Yu Tihu smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescents, her teeth gleaming.
Prince Yu gasped. "You? What do you mean? When did you become so close? What happened between you two in the day or so that Simba and the others have been here?"
The Jade Prince's eyes were incredibly sharp; he noticed Yu Tihu's unusual behavior in the blink of an eye.
A jolt went through him, his eyes fixed intently on Li Yang, and an uncontrollable surge of anger welled up within him.
"You all, grab him!" Prince Yu suddenly shouted at Li Yang.
Everyone was stunned, but the subordinates were used to obeying orders. They paused for a moment, then rushed out and pounced on Li Yang with bared teeth and claws.
Simba was closest to Li Yang, so he was the first to pounce on him, his attack fierce and ruthless!
Everyone was stunned. Before they could react, three or four men and women had already surrounded Li Yang and were entangled in a fight, throwing punches and kicks at him.
Gusts of wind rose up, and Li Yang used all his strength to use the Bagua Step to deal with these guys, but he still felt very tired. If it weren't for the fact that his Bagua Step was really amazing, that he had experienced a lot of actual combat, and that his martial arts level had improved by leaps and bounds, with his internal energy flowing through his body, he would have been knocked down in almost a single move if he were surrounded by three or four such experts.
The fact that Li Yang could hold out for so long was enough to shock the bodyguards who were besieging him. Damn, this guy is too amazing. He's so young, it's unbelievable.
"Stop!" Yu Tihu and Song Tian'er shouted almost simultaneously and rushed forward. Ignoring the attack from the others, they went straight for Li Yang.
Prince Yu was shocked and shouted, "Stop!" He thought to himself, "This damned girl has really been taken advantage of by that brat." He was furious. How could he not be angry that his daughter, Prince Yu's daughter, had been taken by this brat?
Several young bodyguards stepped back, but still surrounded Li Yang, looking ready to strike at any moment.
Song Tian'er and Yu Tihu exchanged a glance. Song Tian'er's eyes were full of surprise, while Yu Tihu was a little shy, but then she became calm and resolute.
"Father, what are you doing?" Yu Tihu questioned Prince Yu.
"What are you doing? What are you saying I'm doing? Do I need to tell you what good things you've done?" The Jade Prince was no longer the dignified Jade Prince that Li Yang had first met. His exasperated appearance was just like any protective father.
Yu Tihu blushed and looked around. Everyone was staring at her in shock.
"Huff... My father-in-law doesn't feel bad at all when he hits his son-in-law!" Li Yang breathed heavily as he escaped his predicament. Damn, although it only lasted a few seconds, it was the most dangerous time he had ever been since his debut.
Martial arts competitions are just fights. Whether you're a master or a novice, it's not like the fights described by Jin Yong that last for hundreds or thousands of rounds!
The higher the martial arts skill, the faster and simpler the outcome of a battle; often, a few ruthless moves are enough to decide the winner.
That's why there's the saying "the first to strike wins, the last to strike suffers." Only those who don't know martial arts, especially shrewish women, who push, shove, scratch, grab, or even engage in hand-to-hand combat or sumo wrestling, waste a lot of time and could probably go through thousands of moves.
So, although it was only a few breaths, those four bastards simultaneously unleashed a barrage of vicious attacks on Li Yang. Li Yang couldn't unleash his hidden power, otherwise he would have been either dead or seriously injured.
