The night in Jiangnan City was ablaze with neon lights.
When Zhang Yang arrived at the Shanhe Club, it was the peak of its lively nightlife.
On the first floor, hostesses in high-slit qipaos swayed provocatively in the lobby.
The doormen greeted the ceaseless stream of guests with enthusiasm.
However, the vibrant and passionate scene came to an abrupt halt with Zhang Yang's arrival.
*Boom!*
Zhang Yang kicked the club's main door down and strode in.
The sudden turn of events startled the club's patrons.
Zhang Yang, a harbinger of destruction, sent the hostesses and doormen scattering.
Only five or six security guards, trembling, rushed out to block Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang frowned slightly.
The security guards before him all had youthful faces, completely different from the thugs he had encountered during his previous visit to the Shanhe Club.
"Get lost if you don't want trouble. I'm looking for Chen Xiong," Zhang Yang said sternly.
The security guards looked nervous. They had been involved when Zhang Yang caused a scene at the Shanhe Club last time, and their injuries hadn't fully healed yet.
"Boss Chen... Boss Chen isn't here. He's gone out..." one of the security guards stammered.
Gone out again?
Zhang Yang's brow furrowed.
Last time, he had been caught by the patrol division because he had believed these people.
"A repeat of the same trick. Do you think I'll fall for it again?" Zhang Yang's tone was unfriendly, his gaze fierce.
"Since Chen Xiong isn't here, then make him come back. Otherwise, this club won't be operating anymore."
As he spoke, Zhang Yang grabbed a nearby stool and smashed the club's front desk.
Then, he picked up suitable tools and destroyed the entire newly renovated reception hall.
Moments later, the reception hall of the Shanhe Club was in ruins, worse than before.
The club's lobby manager, hearing the commotion, approached hesitantly.
"Big... Big brother, please stop smashing things. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to Boss Chen when he returns."
"Then call him back," Zhang Yang ordered coldly.
The lobby manager looked anxious. "I've already tried calling, but the phone isn't connecting."
"The phone isn't connecting? Where did Chen Xiong go tonight?" Zhang Yang asked.
"We don't know. He didn't tell us this time."
"..."
This...
Zhang Yang frowned slightly, wondering if they were lying to him.
Just then, Mangzi called.
"Doctor Zhang, do you have time? I need your help here."
Mangzi's voice on the phone was weak but urgent.
The observant Zhang Yang also heard the sounds of smashing and fighting in the background.
"Mangzi, what happened?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Doctor Zhang, Chen Xiong suddenly brought a bunch of people to the Fengyun Bar to cause trouble."
"He also brought five experts in the Body Refining realm. We're barely holding on, and Third Master has also been injured by them."
Mid-sentence, Mangzi glanced at the unconscious Third Master beside him.
Gritting his teeth, he made a decision.
"Doctor Zhang, consider this Mangzi's plea. If you are willing to help, the Fengyun Society will follow your lead from now on."
"Chen Xiong went to your place?" Zhang Yang's eyes flashed with insight.
"Hold on, I'm on my way!"
With that, Zhang Yang took the lobby manager's car keys and sped towards the Fengyun Bar.
At this moment, the Fengyun Bar was filled with the sounds of battle.
The Fengyun Society's members were fighting against the Shanhe Gang.
Normally, the Fengyun Bar, being the Fengyun Society's territory, should not have been at a disadvantage.
However, Chen Xiong had brought too many people this time, and furthermore, he had brought five experts in the Body Refining realm to assist.
In such a situation, taking down the Fengyun Society was only a matter of time.
Chen Xiong hadn't even made a move, casually picking up a bottle of red wine from the bar and drinking it with gusto.
"Ma San, Mangzi, I know you're hiding like scared turtles."
"Are people like you worthy of being leaders? Hiding and letting your subordinates take the blows, I truly feel it's not worth it for them."
Chen Xiong's taunts and attempts to sow discord enraged Mangzi, who was hiding in the shadows.
Not only was he already heavily injured, but he also couldn't leave the unconscious Third Master.
Therefore, at this moment, he could only endure the humiliation.
At this point, a minor leader of the Fengyun Society, annoyed, shouted.
"Nonsense! My Fengyun Society has no cowards. Third Master and Brother Mangzi would never flee from battle."
"Brothers, charge!"
Clearly, Chen Xiong's divisive tactic had failed. Instead, it had ignited the fighting spirit of the Fengyun Society's members.
Chen Xiong narrowed his eyes, displeased, and decided to personally teach the leader who had spoken out a lesson.
He grabbed the half-empty wine bottle and swung it at the Fengyun Society leader.
Chen Xiong was fast and his attack was vicious.
Before the Fengyun Society leader could even react, he saw a wine bottle appear before his eyes.
If he were hit, it wouldn't just be a bloody head; he might lose his life.
However, the tragedy did not occur.
The Fengyun Society leader felt no pain.
Instead, he heard Chen Xiong cry out in pain as he was kicked away, rolling into the bar counter.
With a loud crash, Chen Xiong hit the liquor cabinet, causing all the bottles to fall, and the cabinet itself to topple over, pinning him underneath.
"Doctor Zhang! It's Doctor Zhang!"
The Fengyun Society leader, recognizing Zhang Yang, shouted excitedly.
The other Fengyun Society members, who were fighting desperately, also looked over.
Seeing that Zhang Yang had already charged into the Shanhe Gang's ranks, kicking down one Shanhe Gang member after another, their morale soared.
"Brothers, Doctor Zhang is here to help us! Quickly, let's go!"
"Charge! Kill these Shanhe Gang scoundrels!"
"..."
Zhang Yang's arrival signaled the Fengyun Society's counterattack.
The scales of victory quickly tipped.
About five minutes later, the fight in the bar was completely over.
In the entire bar, only five men stood back-to-back.
And Chen Xiong, who had crawled out from under the liquor cabinet.
"Zhang Yang! It's you again!"
Chen Xiong rubbed his chest where Zhang Yang had kicked him, his face filled with anger.
"Chen Xiong, you really made me search for you. You dare to deceive me again and again. What do you think I should do with you?" Zhang Yang's expression was grim.
This...
The pressure Zhang Yang exerted was too great.
Chen Xiong instinctively took two steps back.
But after two steps, he suddenly remembered the five experts in the Body Refining realm beside him, and his confidence returned.
These five people...
They were all sent by his boss.
Their strength was at the peak of the Outer Body Refining realm. With the five of them working together against Zhang Yang, it would be a piece of cake.
"You want to settle the score with me? You're not qualified enough," Chen Xiong sneered.
"Zhang Yang, I know you're also a master of the Body Refining realm, but these five beside me are all at the peak of the Body Refining realm!"
"If you don't want to die, then get over here and apologize!"
Chen Xiong, seemingly full of confidence, still wisely hid behind the five men and shouted.
"Heh, peak Body Refining realm? That is indeed impressive," Zhang Yang smiled, unfazed.
His attitude made Chen Xiong unsure.
However, considering Zhang Yang's age, he was at most at the peak of the Body Refining realm.
In a five-on-one situation, he was sure to win!
"All five of you, go and teach him a good lesson!" Chen Xiong commanded.
The five men standing in front of Chen Xiong frowned.
They knew better than Chen Xiong that Zhang Yang was not simple.
Although the strength Zhang Yang had displayed so far was also around the Body Refining realm, they felt immense pressure from him.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go, or the boss will blame you, and you won't be able to bear it!" Chen Xiong urged, seeing the five men standing still.
Chen Xiong invoked their boss, and the five Body Refining realm experts had no choice but to comply.
However, they did not attack rashly, cautiously approaching Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Could the boss Chen Xiong mentioned be the person targeting him?
Thinking this, Zhang Yang immediately stepped forward, launching a thunderous attack.
*Boom!*
In an instant, the true qi within Zhang Yang erupted.
His body became a blur as he charged at the five men.
He threw five consecutive punches, directly disabling the five Body Refining realm experts that Chen Xiong relied on.
Chen Xiong blinked, feeling only a gust of wind.
Before he could think further, Zhang Yang was already in front of him.
This...
How is this possible?
Chen Xiong stared at Zhang Yang, who was within arm's reach, completely stunned.
"What... what do you want to do?" Chen Xiong stammered, asking.
Clearly, Chen Xiong was too scared to think straight. A normal person wouldn't ask such a question.
*Slap.*
Zhang Yang slapped him to the ground and stepped on Chen Xiong's chest.
"Tell me, who is your boss?"
"Last time you lied to me that Han Wenkang wanted to harm me, and you also had the club staff tell me you were going to Han Wenkang's house. Was that also your boss's idea?" Zhang Yang asked sternly.
