"What on earth happened to Yang Qi?" Li Qingyan couldn’t help but ask.

SLAP!

Yan Duo slapped Li Qingyan across the face and roared, "You bitch, still thinking about that damn kid? Let me tell you, I’m not going to kill you. I’m going to have my fun with you first, then sell you to the kind of place women despise most."

"Yan Duo, don’t go too far! Our boss won’t let you get away with this," Li Qingyan said angrily. "You’ve come to Qifei Group to cause trouble again and again, even injuring our staff. What exactly do you want?"

"What do I want? That’s a good question. All of this is Yang Qi’s fault. If he hadn’t offended me, I wouldn’t be doing this. So, it’s just your bad luck for getting involved with someone like him," Yan Duo said with a cold laugh.

"Right, you just asked what happened to Yang Qi? I don’t mind telling you. Today, the Tang Family of Sea City has set a Heaven and Earth Net at the Zhao Family’s estate, just waiting for that kid to walk into it. With his temper, he can’t possibly stay away now that he knows the Zhao Family is in trouble. When he gets there, what do you think will happen?" Yan Duo burst into laughter, ecstatic at the thought of Yang Qi’s impending death.

"He won’t die!" Li Qingyan shook her head. "Not only will he survive, but he’ll also shatter your pathetic fantasy once again. The only one who’s going to die is you!"

"Hahahaha!" Yan Duo laughed maniacally. "Actually, I was hoping that kid would come here first. That way, I could kill him with my own hands and earn a great achievement. Maybe the Tang Family of Sea City would be so happy they’d take me in as their godson."

"You want to be a godson that badly? I’m right here. Come and kill me!" Suddenly, a voice rang out as Yang Qi walked in from the entrance, his expression as cold as ice.

Along the way, he had seen a scene of complete disarray and several employees beaten and injured. With each one he saw, his killing intent grew stronger. By the time he arrived and heard Yan Duo’s words, his killing intent had escalated to its absolute peak.

"Yang Qi!" Seeing him, Yan Duo instinctively backed away, shouting in terror, "Quick, get him! That’s Yang Qi, the man Old Master Tang wants!"

The experts from the Tang Family of Sea City were overjoyed to hear this. They had been quite unhappy about following Yan Duo here, preferring to go to the Zhao Family’s territory to hunt Yang Qi. That way, they could have earned merit—and been the first to do so. They never expected to encounter Yang Qi here. In that moment, they were ecstatic, as if they had spotted a juicy steak, and immediately pounced.

Regrettably, they failed to perceive the towering killing intent emanating from him.

"Die!"

Yang Qi merely uttered the single, icy word and threw a punch. Flames instantly engulfed the men who had charged, incinerating them to cinders. Not even a body was left behind.

Seeing this, the expert comparable to the Undying Barbarian King was completely stunned. What kind of Immortal Technique is this? I’ve never even heard of something so terrifying. Even an Overlord-Level expert couldn’t do this. Controlling flames to such an extent... it’s simply demonic!

"Demon!" a terrified scream erupted from the remaining men.

The Tang Family of Sea City is actually trying to fight a demon like this? This is sheer madness!

"Yan Duo," Yang Qi said, looking at him coldly, his patience completely exhausted. "I told you that if there was a next time, you would die. Today is that day. You have no more chances. Not even the Heavenly King himself could save you now!"

Standing there, Yang Qi truly resembled a Demon God. His terrifying killing intent made everyone tremble, including the expert comparable to the Undying Barbarian King. But that expert knew he couldn’t show fear. If he was afraid, everyone else would be too. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Don’t be afraid! Kill him!" the expert roared. "If he doesn’t die, we do!"

Forgetting their fear, the remaining men charged forward, roaring like madmen.

Yet what greeted them was another punch filled with murderous intent. The raging fire transformed into an angry god of death, enveloping them all. They watched in horror as their clothes caught fire and they rolled on the ground, but it was useless. The searing pain brought back their fear, and they began to beg for mercy. But alas, it was too late. This was the price for provoking a Cultivator.

In an instant, only two enemies remained: Yan Duo and the expert comparable to the Undying Barbarian King.

The expert could never have anticipated this outcome. He had heard that Yang Qi had defeated a Second-Rank Beginner-Level Overlord, but he himself was a Second-Rank Perfection-Level Overlord. Logically, he should have been able to defeat Yang Qi easily, or at the very least, not feel afraid. Yet here he was, terrified to his very core. The fear was simply uncontrollable. However, as a member of the Tang Family of Sea City, his only option was to fight, even if his opponent was a Demon God.

He roared and drew a dagger that had been hidden at his waist.

He slashed out!

This strike, filled with a lethal aura and do-or-die courage, far surpassed anything Tang Wu could muster. Against anyone else, he might have succeeded. He might have even defeated his enemy. But unfortunately for him, he was facing Yang Qi, and all his efforts were destined to be futile.

Yang Qi paid it no mind and simply threw another punch.

The martial artist’s face lit up with joy, believing Yang Qi was underestimating him and courting death. He saw his chance! Or so he believed. In reality, it was the end. The end of his life.

CRACK!

The dagger was obliterated by Yang Qi’s fist. The hardness of the Stone Armor Technique was beyond imagination; such a flimsy blade could never breach his defense.

BANG!

The fist unhesitatingly smashed into the martial artist’s body, igniting another burst of fire.

The Second-Rank Perfection-Level Martial Arts Overlord was indeed formidable, as the punch didn’t kill him instantly. He was still breathing, still struggling. Unfortunately, survival did not mean escape. It only prolonged his agony.

"Spare my life! Please, spare me! I was wrong, I was wrong! I’ll leave the Tang Family right now! I beg you, don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!"

As death drew near, he chose to capitulate, to beg for mercy. He was terrified, truly terrified, like a drowning man thrashing for help.

Yan Duo fell into despair. Their strongest man was on his knees, begging in terror. Who could possibly save him now? Everyone else was dead. Only now did he truly understand the consequences of crossing Yang Qi.

Yang Qi was a demon, a true demon. He finally realized why his father had feared Yang Qi. Yet, he himself had incited his father to defect and align with the Tang Family of Sea City—a decision that was proving to be a disaster for the Yan Family. He wished he could tell his father to stop.
