Upon realizing that he had been nothing more than a pathetic plaything in Lu Cheng's hands from beginning to end, the urge to defend himself completely extinguished in Su Yang's mind.
At this point, what more did he have to say?
His eyes were blood-red, his last shred of reason burned away, leaving only a raging madness.
He suddenly turned his head, his gaze, filled with endless fury, despair, and hatred, fixed on the woman he had once loved to his bones, and now hated to his bones—Yun Xiyue!
"Bitch!"
He squeezed out these two words from between his teeth, his voice hoarse and twisted!
"You actually… you actually colluded with outsiders to scheme against me?"
"Good! Very good! Yun Xiyue, you are truly very good!"
His terrifying aura, at the peak of his Internal Strength, erupted at this moment without reservation!
Like the most violent storm, it swept through the entire banquet hall!
Making all the guests present feel a shiver and suffocation from the depths of their souls!
His face distorted, like a crazed beast, he lunged at Yun Xiyue, who had long since turned pale with fright and a lost her beautiful complexion!
From his mouth came a mad roar filled with destructive desire!
"Since I can't have your heart!"
"Then I will… personally destroy you!"
"No one else will get you!"
...However, just as Su Yang's hand was about to touch Yun Xiyue's fragile neck!
He suddenly!
Felt his Dantian abruptly seize up!
Immediately after, an indescribable feeling of weakness and sluggishness instantly spread through his limbs and bones!
His profound internal energy, which had originally surged like a river, now became as slow as a snail, difficult to mobilize!
He realized in horror!
"The wine! It was my mother before—no! It was that bitch Lin Meizhu, there was something in the wine she toasted me with!"
That's right!
Under Lu Cheng's arrangement, Lin Meizhu had long ago added a good amount of "sedatives" to Su Yang's wine, precisely to prevent this dangerous person from going mad at the wedding.
Yun Xiyue, seizing the moment Su Yang's cultivation was hindered, immediately ran towards the backstage, which was also part of the plan.
And just at this moment!
Those enemies who had long been lurking among the guests and harbored deep hatred for Su Yang, how could they miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Like a pack of wolves that smelled blood, they swarmed him!
Although Su Yang was powerful and battle-hardened, under the circumstances of being drugged beforehand, having his mind in chaos, and being surrounded by several equally desperate enemies!
He was instantly plunged into an extremely passive and bitter struggle!
His proud groomsmen, at this moment, all chose to stand by and watch coldly.
They were not foolish; anyone with eyes could see that Su Yang had run into an existence he absolutely could not afford to provoke.
All his illicit dealings had been thoroughly exposed and made public; he would never have a chance to recover in this life.
Su Yang was finished, but they still had their respective jobs… getting involved with someone like Su Yang again, besides sharing his misfortune, would yield no good results!
Thus, this so-called brotherhood, formed out of mutual benefit, also dispersed out of mutual benefit, choosing to watch coldly.
Even!
Even the "Dragon Soul" organization that Su Yang once belonged to had already struck a deal with Lu Cheng without his knowledge!
Lu Cheng used the "Dragon Soul's Breath" secret manual, which he had "intercepted" from Su Yang and was of extraordinary significance to the "Dragon Soul"!
In exchange for their complete abandonment and acquiescence regarding their "former God of War," Su Yang!
However, long before using it as a bargaining chip, Lu Cheng had already mastered this passive breathing technique.
This method, without needing to be deliberately operated, could enhance his self-healing power, as if it had merged with his every breath… At the very first moment the chaos at the wedding venue completely erupted.
Lu Cheng, leisurely, walked to the edge of the stage.
Very naturally, he embraced Yun Xiyue, the startled "victim" who was running towards him, into his arms.
Then, he led her away, swiftly exiting the battle zone that had already turned into a chaotic mess.
From a completely safe position in the distance, he watched Su Yang being ganged up on, like enjoying a spectacular action movie.
To personally witness an enemy's downfall without getting a speck of dirt on himself was, in itself, an unparalleled pleasure.
Even better, he could leisurely savor the fruits of this victory with her by his side.
Finally, as a series of piercing police sirens approached from afar.
This absurd, farcical "wedding of the century" finally came to its ultimate conclusion.
Su Yang, covered in injuries and in a sorry state, was arrested on the spot.
Of course, if he only faced legal repercussions, that would be too easy for him.
He had once traversed mountains of corpses and seas of blood under the name "God of War"; how could the deep-seated grudges he had formed be so easily appeased.
A greater "surprise" awaited Su Yang… Lu Cheng lowered his gaze, looking at Yun Xiyue, who was still trembling slightly in his arms from lingering fear, a smile of extreme tenderness slowly spreading across his face.
But the words he then uttered were so cold that they seemed to come from a different person than the one with the gentle face.
"You see."
"A disobedient mad dog."
"Even his master won't save him."
And below the stage, in another corner near the entrance.
Yan Che watched the dramatic scene unfold, his face, quite similar to Lu Cheng's, filled with incredulous shock!
This was the God of War!
He was just arrested like that? And for extortion?
The one billion he gave Su Yang was secondary; what truly made him wary was the meticulously planned "hero saving the beauty" incident.
Money was merely an external possession, but once the truth of that matter reached Fu Yuan's ears, unnecessary complications would arise.
Thinking of this, his eyes slowly narrowed, a cold, blade-like killing intent flashing across them.
After all, only dead men could keep secrets forever.
Turning his head, he looked at Fu Yuan, who had remained silent the entire time beside him.
His voice carried a hint of nervousness… "Uh… Yuan'er, I didn't know this guy would be such a person…"
"Had I known, I wouldn't have brought you here!"
Fu Yuan ignored his explanation.
Where Yan Che couldn't see, her eyes behind her sunglasses remained fixed on Lu Cheng.
She quietly watched the man in the distance who had embraced Yun Xiyue and was slowly leaving with her… Behind her sunglasses, her beautiful eyes gleamed with a crazy light of obsession and possessiveness!
Then, she bit her fiery red lips.
"This guy…"
