Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1261: Chapter 1260: Thorough Preparation

Many believed that Lü Wenbang would have chosen to assassinate Su Yang last night.

After all, last night, over a hundred Terrestrial Immortals in Capital City marked Su Yang’s location together. Moreover, most of the families in Capital City joined forces in the pursuit to kill Su Yang.

Under such circumstances, it was highly advantageous for Lü Wenbang to make a move. He was practically backed by so many powerful families of Capital City—finding Su Yang was easy; killing him, even easier.

With his strength, Su Yang was definitely no match for him. If he got involved, Su Yang would undoubtedly have no chance of escape.

Even the major families considered Lü Wenbang the twenty-first group in the pursuit. Given Lü Wenbang’s strength, he alone counted as a group.

Yet, up until the very end last night, Lü Wenbang did not show his face, as if he had disappeared without a trace. This made people start to wonder whether he had already left Capital City and thus missed such an event.

Since Lü Wenbang didn’t strike at Su Yang last night, everyone thought that Lü Wenbang probably wouldn’t attack Su Yang anymore, instead choosing to save his own life and flee. After all, last night was the golden opportunity. Once that moment passed, no other time would be suitable.

But it was under these conditions that Lü Wenbang caught everyone by surprise. He chose to attack Su Yang tonight, and what’s more, he did so while Su Yang had a dozen high-level experts by his side, which was even more unexpected.

What was going through Lü Wenbang’s mind? He missed such a good opportunity and instead chose such an inopportune one. Was he looking for a death wish?

Lü Wenbang’s face was filled with murderous intent, staring fiercely at Su Yang and gritting his teeth, ”Su Yang, you killed my son and ruined my plans. How could I spare you? Today, I must take your life!”

”Alright, stop hiding them.” Su Yang said with a smile, ”Call out your friends. It’s this time already, are you still planning to ambush me?”

Lü Wenbang’s expression changed slightly; he indeed had not come alone. However, he hadn’t expected Su Yang to guess this.

”Since you’re so eager to seek death, then I’ll fulfill your wish!” Lü Wenbang shouted coldly, ”My fellow brothers, come out!”

As soon as Lü Wenbang’s words fell, more than twenty people rushed out from a distance, immediately surrounding Su Yang and his companions.

Before, Su Yang’s side had the advantage with its dozen of people. Now, it was Lü Wenbang’s side with over twenty people that had the upper hand.

Lü Wenbang looked icily, saying in a deep voice, ”Su Yang, I know that those with you are experts released from the dungeons. But compared to my fellow brothers, your men are far from sufficient. My brothers have all broken through the Sovereign’s bottleneck; with so many of us acting together, sweeping through any major family in Capital City wouldn’t be a problem. We came here to kill you today; you should feel honored!”

”So, it seems you intend to bully the few with your numbers?” Su Yang said leisurely.

”Heh heh...” Lü Wenbang let out a cold laugh, ”There’s no need for rules against people like you!”

”Since you’ve said so, let’s not talk about rules then!” Su Yang picked up his mobile phone and smiled, ”Alright, you guys can come over now!”

Lü Wenbang frowned and said sternly, ”Who are you calling?”

”Guess?” Su Yang said with a smile.

Lü Wenbang pondered for a moment and said coldly, ”The only help you can find in Capital City comes from two sources: one is those you subjugated last night, the other is Lü Donglin’s men. Is there any need to guess?”

”So, do you think I called the group I subdued, or did I call Lü Donglin?” Su Yang asked with a smile.

”Regardless of who you called, it’s useless!” Lü Wenbang said coldly, ”Neither group can save you!”

”You’re that confident?” Su Yang countered.

”It’s not about confidence; I am fully prepared!” Lü Wenbang looked at Su Yang mockingly, ”Su Yang, the truth is, we entered Capital City three days ago. But do you know why I didn’t kill you last night?”

”Because you couldn’t kill me last night,” Su Yang said softly. ”If you had made a move, Lü Donglin would have intervened, given you’re his enemy after all. If Lü Donglin had interfered, you certainly wouldn’t have been able to kill me. On the contrary, if Lü Donglin had made a move, it would have affected the strategies of the major families in Capital City. So by choosing not to act, you also ensured Lü Donglin had no excuse to intervene, aiming to have the city’s great families take me down for you!”

Lü Wenbang’s complexion became extremely unsightly as Su Yang was spot on. Many were puzzled why he didn’t act last night, but as Su Yang said, it wasn’t that he chose wrong, but that he truly had no way to act.

Last night, Lü Donglin was actually willing to help Su Yang, but he couldn’t stand openly behind Su Yang—that would appear as if he was supporting Su Yang against the major families in Capital City.

If Lü Wenbang had made a move at that time, Lü Donglin would have surely followed suit, since Lü Wenbang was Lü Donglin’s sworn enemy to kill. In that situation, once Lü Donglin intervened, it would disrupt the proceedings of the major families in Capital City.

Therefore, Lü Wenbang eventually chose not to act, so as not to disturb the plans of the city’s major families.

What he didn’t expect was that Su Yang could see things so clearly. This forced him to look at Su Yang with new respect. This young man was not as simple as he seemed on the surface!

”Su Yang, indeed, you are not simple, no wonder you’ve survived this long amidst the pursuit of so many families in Capital City,” Lü Wenbang said coldly, ”But no matter how much you calculate, you didn’t foresee that I would make my move to kill you today! And for the sake of killing you this time, we have made ample preparations. I, Lü Wenbang, never fight a battle without assurance. Today, you are bound to die!”

”Ample preparations, you say?” Su Yang said with a light smile. ”Does that include contacting seventeen major families in Capital City, asking them to attack Shen Family Courtyard, as well as paying dozens of assassins to ambush Lü Donglin on their way?”

Lü Wenbang’s face changed again, he stared at Su Yang with a dumbfounded look, unable to recover for a while.

”How... how do you know about these things?” Lü Wenbang’s voice trembled, realizing that Su Yang must have also been prepared to counteract.

”What you’ve done isn’t particularly flawless,” Su Yang said softly. ”Did you really think I spent last night running around among the major families just to attack them and release the people from dungeons?”

”What do you mean?” Lü Wenbang said in a deep voice, unable to understand what else Su Yang could have done under those circumstances.
