My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 75: This is My Trump Card!
"Thank you, Miss Lingyue, but could you please let go of my hand first?" When Yang Qi fell for someone, he was incredibly devoted. Seeing Lin Qingxuan was unhappy, he spoke up. Ye Lingyue tactfully released Yang Qi’s arm, a flash of envy in her eyes.
"Miss Ye, does the Ye Family need to intervene in this? Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?" Zhang Junwang asked with a frown.
"I’m only representing myself today. What, is that not allowed?" Ye Lingyue replied with a faint smile.
Zhang Junwang and the others were growing frustrated. Now that things had reached this point, dealing with Yang Qi was out of the question.
"Yang Qi, consider yourself lucky. We’re leaving!" Zhang Junwang declared.
"Bai Mu, it seems your revenge will have to wait," Bai Xingjian added, equally helpless.
"Leave? Did I say you could leave?" Yang Qi suddenly interjected.
"Don’t push it!" Zhang Junwang’s face darkened.
"Push it? Today, I intend to do just that," Yang Qi said with a smile.
Suddenly, a terrifying sound rose from the foot of the mountain, followed by the coordinated roar of thousands. The noise was deafening.
Everyone was stunned, including Ye Lingyue and Lin Qingxuan. Why are there garrison troops here? They looked down the mountain, and in that moment, everyone’s heart seized.
On the mountain path below, at least ten thousand fully armed garrison troops were jogging in formation toward the summit. The sight of their uniform ranks struck fear into every heart.
Ninth Master, Sister Liu, and the other thugs dropped to their knees, utterly terrified. They were no match for the official garrison and were instantly filled with regret. Why did we agree to Bai Xingjian’s request? Why did we come here? This is madness! Couldn’t we have just stayed back, drinking and singing? Why come here to die? Many of them were shaking uncontrollably, and the most cowardly among them fainted on the spot. They had only come to teach Yang Qi a lesson. How had they managed to provoke the garrison? An army of ten thousand men! If a real fight broke out, they would be ground to dust.
The members of the Zhang Family were just as stunned. What’s even here? Isn’t this just Zhang Xiaoduo’s grave? What are these soldiers doing? A training exercise? A chill ran down everyone’s spine, their hearts caught in their throats.
"Don’t be afraid! Everyone, don’t be afraid," Bai Xingjian said, though his own expression was grim as he struggled to keep his composure. "Just move aside. They’re probably on a mountain training exercise. There’s a training camp nearby."
"Right, Old Master Bai is correct," Zhang Junwang said, forcing a smile. "We haven’t done anything yet, so even if they see us, it’s no big deal. Heh, clear a path! Everyone, clear a path!" he hurriedly ordered.
But the Wolf King of the 72 Wolves didn’t think so. He had clearly heard Yang Qi say "begin the operation" on his phone just a moment ago. This couldn’t be a coincidence. Moreover, the man leading them was none other than Lei Tingjun, who had just been here. He was the Battle Zone Commander of Jingnan Prefecture!
"Surround them all!" Lei Tingjun commanded upon arriving with his ten thousand troops. With a wave of his hand, the members of the Zhang Family and Bai Xingjian’s group were completely encircled.
Bai Xingjian trembled so violently he couldn’t even speak. "I... I... How can this be? What in the world is going on?"
Their worst fears had been realized. Escape was now impossible. The 72 Wolves and Bai Xingjian’s subordinates all dropped their weapons, fell to their knees, and raised their hands high in the air. "It’s not our fault! We didn’t do anything!" they began to cry, already begging for mercy and shifting the blame.
Bai Xingjian could barely remain standing, his legs shaking violently. No matter how skilled he was in martial arts, he was no match for firearms. If they opened fire, he’d be shot to pieces in an instant.
Ninth Master and his men were already on their knees, so scared they nearly wet themselves. Being targeted by a group like this meant they were doomed. Anyone who dared make a wrong move would die.
"Sirs! We were tricked by the Zhang Family! We haven’t even done anything yet!" The Wolf King’s usual menacing aura had vanished completely. Prostrate on the ground, he looked as pathetic as a stray dog.
"Yes, it was the Zhang Family! It was all them!" Bai Xingjian also began shouting frantically. "They promised me an antique to come here and help them intimidate someone. I haven’t done a thing! I was wrong, I was truly wrong. I’ll never do it again!" He could no longer hold himself up and collapsed to the ground, thrusting his hands in the air as if to prove his innocence.
The others quickly followed suit, pointing fingers at the Zhang Family to clear their own names. In the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand men were kneeling, leaving only the members of the Zhang Family standing.
Zhang Junwang, Zhang Peng, and the other family members were completely dumbfounded. They raised their hands, wanting to kneel, but what good would it do? Everyone was right; they were the ones who had orchestrated this whole affair.
Suddenly, Yang Qi’s voice cut through the silence, a cold smile on his lips. This bunch was utterly spineless. He had thought he would have to deal with them himself, but the moment Lei Tingjun appeared, they had all surrendered. "Zhang Junwang!"
"Here!" Zhang Junwang replied, trembling as he looked at Yang Qi in horror. It was now almost certain these troops were here because of him, but he still couldn’t understand how Yang Qi could summon such a terrifying force.
"Didn’t you want to kill me?" Yang Qi asked with a smile.
"I wouldn’t dare! I wouldn’t dare! That was just nonsense!" Zhang Junwang cried, shaking his head.
Yang Qi’s gaze shifted. "Zhang Peng!"
Zhang Peng immediately dropped to his knees. "Don’t kill me! Please, don’t kill me, Yang Qi! I was manipulated by that bitch Li Qiutong! It was all her fault!"
Yang Qi ignored him and turned to Wu Chong. "Wu Chong!"
"Ah?!" Wu Chong yelped in terror.
"You said Zhang Xiaoduo deserved to die, didn’t you?"
"No, I was wrong! I’m the one who deserves to die! I deserve to die!" Wu Chong babbled, kowtowing repeatedly. "Zhang Xiaoduo was so good to me, and I betrayed her! It’s me who should die!" He slammed his head against the ground as if the act alone could save his life.
Everyone was both terrified and utterly shocked. They couldn’t understand how Yang Qi possessed such power. Wasn’t he just some bankrupt failure?
Yang Qi smiled. "You all kept asking what my trump card was. Now do you see? Of course, my trump cards don’t end here. It’s just that none of you are worthy of knowing the rest!" His true trump card was the Dragon God Technique. Without it, he would have none of this.
Yang Qi’s words extinguished the last sliver of hope in their hearts. These soldiers really had been summoned by Yang Qi, just as they had feared.
A savage expression crossed Yang Qi’s face. "Zhang Family! Zhang Junwang! Zhang Peng! You plotted against me, ruined my company, and murdered Zhang Xiaoduo! You even tried to kill me! Luckily, I’m hard to kill. I survived. And now, I’ve come for my revenge!"
