Chapter 1892: Usurpers in Another’s Nest

“Who the hell are you? Knocking like that in the dead of night, are you tired of living?” The man who answered the door glared at Chen Yang, his tone dripping with hostility, as he opened his mouth only to curse.

Chen Yang observed the man; he appeared to have consumed a significant amount of alcohol and was deeply asleep.

It was understandable that his temper would be so foul after being rudely awakened.

“Heh, my apologies. I was merely walking my dog in the vicinity and became quite thirsty, so I hoped to borrow a cup of water,” Chen Yang replied politely, refraining from showing any annoyance.

“Water? Get lost. If you dare disturb my sleep again, I swear I’ll kill you, understand?” The man cursed once more, intending to slam the door shut and return to his slumber.

Just then, a voice emanated from within the house.

“Heh, Third, why so short-tempered? He only wants a glass of water, just let him in.”

The voice belonging to the man inside was considerably colder than the one at the door, carrying a chilling quality that could intimidate an ordinary person.

However, Chen Yang, whose objective was precisely these individuals, was eager to gain entry.

The man at the door, brimming with impatience moments ago, seemed to have a sudden realization upon hearing the voice from within, and a grin spread across his face.

“Heh, Second Brother is correct. Neighbors should assist one another. You desire water, correct? Then come inside. It’s inconvenient for me to fetch it for you.” The man’s face contorted into a lecherous grin, and his gaze towards Chen Yang transformed, like a predator eyeing its prey!

Chen Yang, of course, perceived this thinly veiled malice.

He simply feigned ignorance.

After offering his thanks, he confidently stepped into the residence, Wangcai in tow.

“Hehehe.” Witnessing Chen Yang’s entry, the first man couldn't suppress a chuckle before slamming the door shut with a resounding bang.

Outside, Tan Jing, tasked with surveillance, watched Chen Yang disappear inside and the door close, a flicker of unease crossing her features.

She couldn't comprehend why Chen Yang would deliberately place himself in such peril by entering the suspects' dwelling.

Yet, with Chen Yang already inside, any impulsive action on her part would be futile. In fact, it might escalate the danger he faced.

Therefore, she remained in her position, intently monitoring the situation within the room, while simultaneously retrieving her walkie-talkie to alert her colleagues nearby…

Inside, upon entering, Chen Yang’s gaze swept casually across the room, taking in the details.

He surmised it was a standard dwelling, and the two men were likely not the actual proprietors.

They had probably ousted the legitimate owners and seized the place for themselves.

He wondered about the fate of the original inhabitants.

“Little brother, the water is in the jug over there. Help yourself,” the man behind him prompted with a smile, his sinister intentions now fully exposed!

Both men exhibited a similar shift, their expressions towards Chen Yang becoming predatory, as if he were a succulent meal, devoid of any pretense.

Perhaps it was the influence of alcohol, but they could no longer contain their menacing auras.

A palpable aura of malice permeated the room, creating an intensely uncomfortable atmosphere.

“Kid, why are you standing there? Didn’t you want water? Go ahead,” the man lounging on the bed urged impatiently, noticing Chen Yang’s stillness.

Chen Yang turned and saw a man clad only in boxer shorts, his upper body bare, seated on the bed.

Under the dim illumination, his eyes appeared distinctly bloodshot!

“Just the two of you here?” Chen Yang deflected the question about water, instead inquiring about the number of occupants.

The man on the bed paused momentarily, evading Chen Yang’s question: “How many people reside in my place is none of your concern! Are you drinking the water or not?”

Despite the man’s refusal to answer directly, Chen Yang discerned from his demeanor that they were indeed alone in the house.

Given this circumstance, Chen Yang abandoned any pretense of civility and directly asked, “The crime scene in the alley on the west side—was that the work of you two?”

Hm?!

Chen Yang’s abrupt question jolted both men, causing them to snap to attention and become instantly alert!

“Who are you?” At this moment, the man on the bed realized something was amiss. Chen Yang’s composure since his arrival indicated he was no ordinary individual.

“My identity is irrelevant. Simply answer my question,” Chen Yang stated calmly.

“Hmph? You won’t answer? Then I can take a guess! You’re with the Secret Bureau, aren’t you?” the man declared with certainty.

“Secret Bureau? Second Brother! This…” Hearing the mention of the “Secret Bureau,” the man Chen Yang referred to as “Third,” who had been behind him, visibly tensed.

He appeared to harbor a distinct apprehension regarding the Secret Bureau.

The one referred to as Second Brother displayed a momentary tightening of his expression, but he soon regained his composure. Not only did his nervousness vanish, but a wicked grin spread across his face: “Heh, so what if it’s the Secret Bureau? We brothers haven’t feasted on meat in ages. Since he practically delivered himself to us, isn’t that even better?”

The moment Second Brother uttered these words, Third Brother experienced a flash of understanding!

“Second Brother! You’re absolutely right. Sucking the life force from ordinary people is so dull! It has to be this kind of cultivator!” As his brother’s meaning became clear, Third Brother’s gaze turned similarly ravenous, his eyes fixated on Chen Yang with heightened fervor.

It was evident that they had already marked Chen Yang as their next meal.

“You wretches from Blood Bat Hall are truly depraved, actually preying on ordinary people.” By this point, Chen Yang was entirely certain that the duo before him belonged to the Blood Bat Hall, and that the grim scene encountered earlier that night was also their handiwork.

Furthermore, their words made it abundantly clear that the two victims had been ordinary individuals.

To target innocent civilians in such a manner—labeling these two as utterly deranged would scarcely be an exaggeration.

“Heh, the kid has some awareness, actually recognizing we’re from Blood Bat Hall.” Second Brother remarked with a sinister smirk.

Third Brother joined in with a grin: “And some nerve, too. To come here knowing we’re from Blood Bat Hall! But that sort of bravery is merely foolishness—no different from inviting one’s own demise!”

“Enough with the drivel, Third! Let’s get it done!” Having confirmed Chen Yang’s identity, Second Brother ceased his idle chatter. With a guttural growl, he opened his mouth, and a pair of monstrous fangs instantly protruded!

Simultaneously, his eyes flared a crimson hue.

Previously, aside from their malevolent aura, the pair had appeared relatively mundane; now, in an instant, they transformed into monstrous figures.

Like savage beasts, they charged at Chen Yang, jaws agape and claws extended. Their auras erupted, revealing both to be formidable cultivators within the Qi Cultivation Realm!

Compared to the elder he had encountered a few days prior, they were slightly less potent.

“This is genuinely bizarre.”

Witnessing their instantaneous metamorphosis, Chen Yang harbored considerable surprise internally.

What specific Cultivation Technique did the Blood Bat Hall uniformly practice to elicit such monstrous transformations? Could this be a consequence of drastically accelerated power augmentation?

Chen Yang pondered, but there was no time for contemplation.

These two, now resembling monstrous entities, were hurtling towards him. He promptly channeled his Spiritual Energy and acted!

Chen Yang, positioned within the Spirit Gathering Realm, found confronting these two Qi Cultivation Realm experts to be exceptionally effortless!

With two precise strikes and an additional application of the Gathering Spirit Seal, he subdued them instantaneously!

He delivered a more forceful blow to Second Brother, who collapsed onto the ground, spewing blood with several broken ribs. Third Brother fared slightly better; only one leg was fractured, and his abdomen had also sustained a direct impact. He lay incapacitated, unable to move for the time being.
