Chapter 55: No Trap Can Stop Him

Upon hearing the shout from outside, Yang Shi became instantly excited, his eyes sparkling.

"Don't move!"

Su Lang commanded his doppelganger with simple words.

"Yes, sir!"

The cold voice sent shivers down Yang Shi's spine as he recoiled in fear.

Following Su Lang's orders, the doppelganger drew his long knife and escorted Yang Shi out of the forest, with the others nervously following.

"Young Master!!"

Seeing Yang Shi, Yang Zhen's eyes lit up with joy, while Yang Tianrui, hidden in the shadows, nearly rushed out.

At the same time, Ye Lingfeng, Ye Tian, and others lurking in concealment were equally thrilled.

"It really is the killer in black robes!"

"We've finally found him. Today, he will not escape!"

"We must capture him and make him regret ever stepping foot here!"

Without speaking, the Ye family members communicated through their eyes, sharing their joy, cruelty, and satisfaction with each other.

In the scene:

"Young Master, are you alright?"

Yang Zhen took a step forward.

"Stay where you are!"

Su Lang's doppelganger shouted softly, the blade immediately drawing blood across Yang Shi's neck.

"Uncle Zhen, don't come closer—!!"

Yang Shi nearly wet himself, his voice trembling, "Where's the gold coins!? Hurry, ransom me!"

"I've brought the ransom, don't hurt him!"

Yang Zhen didn't dare to make a move, quickly taking out 20 high-grade spirit stones from his bosom and presenting them to Su Lang's doppelganger.

Through his doppelganger's eyes, Su Lang carefully observed the spirit stones. Indeed, they were purer and richer in spiritual energy than low-grade ones, prompting a faint smile from Su Lang.

"You can have these spirit stones, but only after you release Young Master!"

Yang Zhen took a deep breath. "You understand, I can't give them to you if I can't ensure Young Master's safety."

"I propose this: you let Young Master come over here. When he reaches the midpoint, I'll toss the spirit stones to you. Trust me, I won't play any tricks. You'll get your 200,000 gold coins!"

At this, Su Lang smirked.

He didn't believe there were no more traps set by the Yang family. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so prosperous!

Yet, since the real Su Lang wasn't present, any traps the Yang family set were useless!

"Good!"

Su Lang nodded through his doppelganger and pushed Yang Shi forward.

"Uncle Zhen!"

As soon as Yang Shi slipped from Su Lang's doppelganger's control, he immediately ran towards Yang Zhen, crying.

Yang Zhen glanced at the black-robed figure ready to strike and decided not to risk it.

In his view, the black-robed figure would eventually be captured, and these spirit stones would return to the Yang family.

Therefore, taking risks was entirely unwarranted!

Once Yang Shi reached the midpoint, he immediately tossed the spirit stones.

Twenty crystal-clear high-grade spirit stones danced in the air and were swiftly collected by Su Lang's doppelganger, passing them on to Su Lang himself!

Simultaneously, Yang Zhen tightly guarded Yang Shi, his face cold. "You little scum, so you've got the coins. What now? Today, united with the Ye family, we'll besiege you. Your time to die is now!"

Before he finished speaking, numerous figures burst from the surrounding jungle.

"Dad!!"

"Brother Ye! Uncle Ye!"

"You're all here! Kill that dog scum quickly!"

"Haha, take your time, torture him slowly, let him know what pain is!"

Seeing the people rushing out of the jungle, Yang Shi's eyes widened instantly, tears welling up.

Who knew how much shame, panic, and fear he had experienced in just half a day!

Although he knew this black-robed person was under Su Lang's command, seeing his enemy being tortured still filled him with ecstatic joy!

"Kill him!"

An angry roar echoed!

An elderly man with majestic aura brandished his long sword, charging madly towards Su Lang's doppelganger.

"Doppelganger Dispatch!"

Su Lang's thoughts moved swiftly, preparing to dispatch his doppelganger elsewhere to evade pursuit.

The black-robed doppelganger stood still, gradually fading away, seemingly about to disappear.

Suddenly!

"Whoosh—!"

A flying knife crackling with lightning tore through the air, piercing through the right leg of the black-robed doppelganger!

"Boom!!"

An intense explosion followed.

Amidst the splattering lightning, the black-robed doppelganger's clothes shredded, body charred, right leg completely vanished!
