My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 72: This Guy is Bluffing!

All of their reinforcements had arrived. Together with the members of the Zhang Family, they numbered well over a thousand—a truly significant force. To be on the safe side, Zhang Peng had even spent a fortune to hire the Seventy-Two Wolves. They were a terrifying presence, perhaps even more effective than a thousand men.

Xiong Ba’s heart pounded in his chest, and he was beside himself with fear. Ye Fei was completely petrified. So many people. On their side, they had just over a hundred, and most of them were ordinary people. How could they possibly fight this?

Seeing the disparity in numbers and strength, Bai Xingjian laughed. "To deal with a single ant, you’ve mobilized such a large force. Zhang Junwang, you’re far too cautious!"

Zhang Junwang chuckled. "Mr. Bai, I’m just ensuring our safety. What if this kid has other backers?"

"No backer will do him any good!" Bai Xingjian said coldly. "He dared to cripple my son. Today, I’ll make him unable to live, yet unable to die!"

He waved his hand, and the thousand-strong crowd quickly formed a tight perimeter, sealing off the area so completely that not even an ant could escape. All of them glared at Yang Qi and his group with murderous intent. With a single command from Bai Xingjian, they would chop Yang Qi into meat paste. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Yang Qi, I bet you never expected this day would come!" Bai Mu stepped forward. "That day, you crippled me, but you never considered who was standing behind me. You’re an Innate Martial Artist, and that’s impressive, but you’re still going to die when facing these men. Now, kneel and accept your death!"

"Xiong Ba, kneel and accept your death! How dare you betray our Zhang Family to follow this kid? Have you lost your mind?" Zhang Peng roared at Xiong Ba.

Xiong Ba almost buckled. He was truly terrified because he had no clear understanding of Yang Qi’s true strength, nor did he know what being a Grandmaster really meant. But seeing the utter calm on Yang Qi’s face, he gritted his teeth and retorted, "Zhang Peng, you little runt! I’ve never been afraid of anyone. So what if he’s Bai Xingjian? After today, he won’t be the top dog in Kang City anymore!"

Bai Xingjian and the others were stunned for a moment. They never expected Xiong Ba to be so fiercely protective of Yang Qi.

"Xiong Ba, have you lost your mind?" Bai Xingjian asked. "What did he give you to make you willing to lay down your life for him?"

Xiong Ba sneered. "You wouldn’t understand. By the time you do, it will be too late!"

"HAHAHAHA!"

Everyone burst into raucous laughter, barely able to contain themselves.

They wouldn’t understand? They had thoroughly investigated Yang Qi’s background. The only person he could possibly rely on was Lin Qingxuan, but she had long been sidelined by the Lin Family in Jingzhou. Yang Qi was, at most, an Innate Martial Artist. Bai Xingjian, on the other hand, was a Martial Arts Master. Among the Seventy-Two Wolves, there were three other Martial Arts Masters. What could Yang Qi possibly use to fight them?

"Bai Xingjian, I advise you not to be rash. You can’t afford to provoke him, given who he is!"

Suddenly, another man climbed up the hill, pushing his way through the crowd. No one dared to stop him.

"Huang Borren!" Bai Xingjian was taken aback. "Weren’t you too sick to come? Why are you here?"

"Of course I had to come," Huang Borren said, leading a hundred of his elite men to Yang Qi’s side. "Mr. Yang’s business is my business!"

Bai Xingjian frowned. What is wrong with Huang Borren? Why is he also protecting Yang Qi? Could this kid really have some incredible identity?

"Huang Borren, you must be worried because of his backer, Lin Qingxuan," Bai Xingjian said. "There’s no need. She no longer holds any real status in the Jingzhou Lin Family."

"You don’t understand," Huang Borren shook his head. Of course I won’t tell you the whole story. If Bai Xingjian falls, my life in Kang City will become much easier. I’m practically hoping for his downfall.

"Mr. Yang, just give the word, and I swear I’ll protect you, even if it costs me my life!" Huang Borren declared, kneeling on the ground.

"Just stand aside," Yang Qi said with a dismissive wave.

Huang Borren hurriedly stood up and moved to the side. The scene left Bai Xingjian and his followers even more bewildered.

We thought Xiong Ba was Yang Qi’s backer. But that can’t be right. Even Huang Borren is treating Yang Qi with such reverence. Xiong Ba doesn’t even compare.

"Bai Xingjian, I spared your son’s life and merely crippled his Martial Arts. You should be thanking me," Yang Qi said coolly.

"Insolent fool! You are not qualified to speak Mr. Bai’s name!" Zhang Junwang roared.

"That’s right! A piece of trash like you should be on your knees when speaking to Mr. Bai!" Zhang Peng sneered. "A lowlife should know his place. All I did was play with your woman, bankrupt you, and nearly kill you. You should have just meekly accepted your fate instead of fighting back!"

Yang Qi looked at Zhang Peng, a cold glint in his eyes. "Zhang Peng, I must admit, I’m impressed. Your Zhang Family is quite capable to have gathered so many people."

"Scared now?" Zhang Peng sneered. "You probably don’t know this, but we were the ones who asked the Wang Family from the Provincial City to get the Jingzhou Lin Family to terminate their contract with you. The Wang Family and the Jingzhou Lin Family are close. As for Lin Qingxuan, she’s nothing more than a pawn for a marriage alliance in her family. Did you really think latching on to her would be enough to destroy my Zhang Family? You’re too naive."

"Exactly. Kneel and beg for mercy now, and we might give you a quick death so you don’t suffer too much," Zhang Junwang added with a smirk.

Yang Qi laughed. These pathetic fools still had no idea what situation they were in. He sighed and said, "I gave you a month to prepare. Did none of you imbeciles ever stop to wonder why I was so confident?"

His words gave everyone pause. That was indeed a good question. They had assumed his confidence came from Lin Qingxuan and Xiong Ba, but that was clearly not the case now that Huang Borren was also on his side. None of this felt right; it didn’t make sense.

Unfortunately, they were only realizing it now. They had no idea Huang Borren would side with Yang Qi. And Yang Qi wasn’t stupid; surely he wasn’t relying on just Xiong Ba.

Moreover, faced with such an overwhelming force, Yang Qi showed no fear at all. He acted as if he had more than enough power to face them, as if he possessed absolute certainty that he could handle them all. Yet, besides Huang Borren and Xiong Ba, the only other person with him was Ye Fei, who was just the CEO of Qifei Group. What could he possibly do?

Why was this happening? They wracked their brains but couldn’t find an answer.

"Dad, don’t overthink it," Zhang Peng sneered. "He’s just bluffing. If we get scared, he wins." Since I can’t figure it out, this must be the only explanation.

"Right," Zhang Junwang nodded in agreement. "His trump card must be Huang Borren. He thinks that with Huang Borren’s help, he can stand against our Zhang Family. Indeed, if we hadn’t asked Mr. Bai for help, we would have been in trouble. But now, even with Huang Borren, we have nothing to fear."
