My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 59: When It Matters, You Still Rely On Me!
I’m done for!
Xiong Ba’s face was a mask of pure terror. Even Master Chen had been defeated. Who else could possibly save him?
"Bai Mu! Let’s talk about this! We can talk this out! I’ll give you all my assets, just spare my miserable life!"
Xiong Ba immediately dropped to his knees, scared out of his wits.
"Heh, if I kill you, all your assets will be mine anyway," Bai Mu sneered. "I heard you even dared to cause trouble for my apprentice. Old grudges and new, we’ll settle them all today!"
"Bai Mu, you should always leave some leeway. Don’t push things to the absolute limit. I admit that what happened back then was my fault, but it was just an accident. I understand your need for revenge, so I’ll give you all my assets. Isn’t that enough? What good will killing me do you?" Xiong Ba bellowed.
He was a mighty figure in Kang City, a man all the local thugs had to address as Brother Ba, with assets worth billions. Yet now, he was reduced to begging and kowtowing. It was a true loss of face.
"It’s useless!" Bai Mu sneered. "No matter what you say today, you are going to die!"
"That’s not necessarily true!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
Xiong Ba turned his head to look. It was Yang Qi. Yang Qi had been sitting there the whole time, but everyone had overlooked him.
"Xiong Ba, my previous offer still stands," Yang Qi said calmly. "I only want half of your assets and profits. Agree to my terms, and I’ll kill him for you."
"You little brat, stop trying to be a hero. Even I am no match for Bai Mu, what makes you think you’re anything special?" Master Chen snapped angrily.
"That’s right, Mr. Yang. It would be futile for you to intervene!" Xiong Ba said with a wry smile.
"Just tell me if you agree or not," Yang Qi asked with a smile as he stood up.
"Alright, I agree."
Although Xiong Ba felt hopeless, he figured that at this point, Yang Qi was likely the only one who could save him. He looked at Bai Mu and said, "Bai Mu, you should know that this Mr. Yang is a friend of the young lady of the Lin Family from Jingzhou. If you dare to kill him, you’re finished!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Mu’s expression did indeed change.
"Kid, get out of here. I won’t kill you," Bai Mu said coldly. He didn’t want to offend the Lin Family of Jingzhou; it wasn’t because he was reluctant to kill Yang Qi.
"You won’t kill me, and I won’t kill you. Crippling you will be enough," Yang Qi stated lightly.
"Arrogant!" Bai Mu’s eyes turned icy. "I originally didn’t want to touch you because I didn’t want to offend the Lin Family of Jingzhou. But since you’re seeking death, don’t blame me. At worst, I’ll just kill you and flee! Even the Lin Family of Jingzhou probably wouldn’t hunt me down just for you."
"Kill me? You’ll have to have the skill for that," Yang Qi laughed with contempt.
"Hahaha! I’m a mighty Innate Martial Artist. Killing an ordinary person like you is as easy as slaughtering a dog!" Bai Mu laughed aloud.
That reckless brat is courting death. He’ll deserve it if he gets killed!
Xiong Ba also gave a bitter smile. He had thought he could use the Lin Family of Jingzhou’s name to control Bai Mu, but it had been useless. It seemed Bai Mu was determined to kill him today.
"Stop wasting time with words and make your move," Yang Qi said with a light chuckle.
"Fine, I’ll grant you your wish!"
Bai Mu took a step forward, lunging like a ferocious tiger descending a mountain. His fists erupted with the terrifying force of hundreds of pounds, enough to kill not just a man like Yang Qi, but even a ferocious tiger.
However, just as Bai Mu got close to Yang Qi, he suddenly found himself unable to move. His entire body felt as if it had been struck by lightning. He trembled uncontrollably, unable to move a muscle.
"Kill!"
At that moment, Yang Qi made his move. A single punch struck Bai Mu’s Dantian.
"ARGH—!"
Bai Mu screamed in agony as he was sent flying, vomiting blood. He collapsed to the ground, nearly unconscious.
His Dantian was destroyed. His foundation in the Martial Arts was obliterated. He was well and truly crippled.
"Get lost. I said I wouldn’t kill you, and I won’t. But don’t let me see you again, or I swear I will take your life!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Yang Qi bore no grudge against Bai Mu; he was merely acting on Xiong Ba’s behalf, so there was no need to kill him.
"Who in the world are you?" Bai Mu asked.
"Yang Qi," he replied calmly.
"You! You’re that Yang Qi!"
Bai Mu’s face changed dramatically. He scrambled to his feet and hurried away. His disciple, Zhang Peng, had called to tell him that someone named Yang Qi had vowed to destroy the Zhang Family. He had rushed to Kang City specifically to deal with this person. He never expected Yang Qi to be so terrifying. I have to warn the Zhang Family.
So terrifying!
Master Chen was stunned. Yang Qi’s methods were truly astonishing. He hadn’t seen what happened at all. How was Bai Mu defeated just like that? The punch had been powerful, but whatever he had used before it was even more terrifying.
Actually, it wasn’t anything remarkable. It was just a Hand Palm Thunder. It was the most basic Spell, one that could only be controlled with Spiritual Energy. Its power wasn’t very great, but it could make an opponent’s body feel as if it were electrocuted, providing me with the perfect opportunity to attack. Otherwise, I might not have been able to defeat Bai Mu. I really need to practice this Hand Palm Thunder. It has a total of nine levels. Cultivated to its peak, its power is terrifying. In this respect, Cultivators have a definite advantage over Martial Artists, and it’s not a small one.
"Master Yang, we were blind not to recognize your greatness. We were wrong!" Master Chen knelt on the ground, trembling with fear that Yang Qi would be angered.
"Get lost!" Yang Qi waved his hand, too lazy to deal with such people.
"Thank you, Master Yang, for sparing our lives!"
Master Chen left with his disciple.
In the private room, only Xiong Ba, Yang Qi, and the unconscious bodyguard remained.
"Mr. Yang, no, Master Yang! I promise to do as you said. From now on, half of my income is yours!" Xiong Ba said hastily. He now realized that he had underestimated Yang Qi. Yang Qi was continuously growing stronger, far more terrifyingly so than he had imagined. Even Bai Mu was no match for him. I have to seize this opportunity!
"Remember your words, or else—!"
He suddenly struck the table with his palm, shattering it into dust.
"—you’ll end up just like this table!"
"I would never dare to betray you, Master Yang!"
"Just call me Mr. Yang. ’Master’ sounds awkward. I’m leaving."
Yang Qi left the private room. Xiong Ba hurriedly followed him, escorting him all the way outside.
"By the way, help me find out about any antique auctions. Notify me the moment you have any news."
Before he left, Yang Qi gave Xiong Ba a command.
"Yes!" Xiong Ba nodded urgently.
Yang Qi got into a taxi and departed.
Xiong Ba let out a long sigh of relief. Though I’ve lost half of my assets and income, I’ve gained a truly significant backer. In fact, it wasn’t a loss at all; it might have even been a gain.
「The next day.」
Xiong Ba sent someone to find Yang Qi. The messenger said they had found Zhang Xiaoduo’s grave. He personally drove Yang Qi into Kangshan.
"Zhang Xiaoduo’s body was thrown into Kangshan, but some kind-hearted person found it, dug a grave, and buried her," Xiong Ba explained on the way.
Yang Qi felt a little better. At least there’s a grave. Although it’s crude, she won’t have to be a wandering spirit.
