Chapter 671: Chapter 671: You Don’t Deserve to Know My Name!
"Quick! Help me!" Sun Yu shrieked, on the verge of madness. He was no match for Yang Qi and couldn’t parry a single move. If he hadn’t used others as shields earlier, he would already be dead.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Eight Overlord-Level powerhouses from the Eight Great Families attacked simultaneously, launching eight terrifying assaults toward Yang Qi. Seizing the opportunity, Sun Yu also charged forward, bringing the total number of assailants to nine Overlord-Level experts.
In the eyes of the Ten Great Families of Longjiang Prefecture, such combat power was considered top-tier, surely enough to easily take down this brazen young man. Unfortunately for them, they had no idea that a First Rank Overlord was utterly insignificant before the current Yang Qi and couldn’t withstand a single blow.
Yang Qi sneered, his golden sword swirling in his hand. He didn’t use his full power, instead continuing to fight the nine Overlords with the combat power of a Tenth Rank Great Grandmaster. I’m only doing this to hone my fighting skills. Besides, the strength of a Tenth Rank Great Grandmaster is more than enough. There’s no need to reveal too much.
With this sword in hand, the world is mine! He single-handedly suppressed all nine Overlords. Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to believe what they were seeing.
The fact that nine Overlords from nine different families couldn’t defeat a man in his twenties seemed like something out of a dream. Not only were they failing to defeat him, but they also seemed to be at a disadvantage.
More and more spectators gathered, staring agape at the unfolding scene.
At that moment, Grandmaster One Yang also arrived, blending into the crowd without a sound. As long as Yang Qi wasn’t in danger, there was no need for him to reveal himself. He was, after all, Yang Qi’s secret weapon.
"The strongest of the Ten Great Families are nothing special after all!" Yang Qi sneered, growing impatient. He had tried reasoning with these people, asking them not to interfere, but they had banded together against him instead. In that case, I’ll stop being polite.
SLASH!
In that instant, a golden sword light flashed. An Overlord screamed as his arm was chopped off, blood gushing from the wound as he wailed in agony.
"I already told you this doesn’t concern you," Yang Qi said. "But since you all insist on fighting me, don’t blame me for what happens next!"
Golden Thunder Slash!
The terrifying golden sword light whirled like a deadly fan as it flew toward the men. Three Overlord-Level experts raised their defenses with all their might but were still sent flying, vomiting blood. The rest were petrified, no longer daring to approach Yang Qi for fear of being slain by his Golden Sword.
"Sun Yu, not only did you refuse to apologize, but you also dared to gather so many people to attack me. If that’s your choice, then die!" Yang Qi took a step forward, charging toward Sun Yu.
Terrified, Sun Yu turned and fled. If nine men couldn’t overcome Yang Qi, how could he possibly stand a chance alone?
"Block him! Quick, block him!" Sun Bie shouted at the top of his lungs. "That’s my grandfather! If he dies, the Ten Great Families will lose all face!"
Hearing this, the remaining Martial Artists clenched their teeth and rushed toward Yang Qi. The four Overlord-Level experts who had retreated now threw themselves back into the fray, and many Great Grandmasters also swarmed to surround him. They seemed to believe in strength in numbers, certain that their collective might could kill Yang Qi.
Yang Qi frowned. "You’re all a bunch of obstinate fools. I spared your lives, yet you don’t know what’s good for you. If that’s the case, then die!"
He abruptly halted his pursuit of Sun Yu, spun around, and slashed out with his sword. At the same time, over a dozen Cold Ice Chains erupted from the ground at his feet.
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
The Cold Ice Chains restrained the pursuing Martial Artists. Yang Qi’s sword followed an instant later, and with a single strike, he slew four First Rank Overlords.
The sight terrified everyone. The Great Grandmasters who had intended to swarm Yang Qi froze in their tracks, their bodies trembling with fear.
Yang Qi snorted coldly. Without even a glance at the corpses, he executed Wind Step and appeared before Sun Yu in an instant, plunging his sword into the man’s heart.
Even though his heart had been pierced, Sun Yu was an Overlord-Level expert and didn’t die right away.
"Don’t... don’t kill me! Help me, save me! If I die, you won’t live either!" Sun Yu screamed in terror, his words becoming incoherent.
"Your heart has been run through. Do you really think you can survive?" Yang Qi shook his head. "How ridiculous. When I offered to let you live, you were the one who didn’t cherish the chance. Now you fear death."
"I apologize! I’ll apologize!" Sun Yu’s face was ashen. "I swear to Heaven, I won’t lay a hand on Yao Qing!"
Yang Qi shook his head and pulled out his golden sword.
Sun Yu slowly knelt, blood dripping to the ground. The light of life had already faded from him. Even as a Martial Artist, an Overlord-Level expert, he couldn’t last long with his heart destroyed. What good was regret at the very end? Yang Qi had given him several chances, but he had seized none of them. Each time, he had rejected Yang Qi’s offer and even recruited others to kill him. He was truly courting death.
"Grandfather—!" Sun Bie was dumbstruck. That was his own grandfather, the old master of the Sun Family, killed just like that. Could it be that our Sun Family has truly offended a terrifying existence?
"Wretched creature! How dare you kill wantonly on the Zhou Family’s territory? You’re courting death!"
Suddenly, an angry roar echoed from the distance. A figure soared through the air, covering over ten meters in a single leap. This was clearly a master of incredible power, radiating an extremely strong killing intent.
"Uncle!" Seeing the newcomer, Sun Bie finally breathed a sigh of relief. The man who had arrived was his uncle, the Family Head of the Zhou Family. He was also an Overlord-Level powerhouse, but far stronger than the First Rank Overlords; he was a Second Rank Overlord who had reached the Perfection realm.
"Hahahaha! Kid, you were so arrogant, weren’t you? Now that my uncle is here, let’s see how long your arrogance lasts!" Sun Bie taunted. "You’re not leaving here alive today! Go and join my grandfather in death! How dare you strike my grandfather! Death is too good for you."
The Zhou Family Head landed softly. Looking at Sun Yu’s body on the ground, his killing intent grew even fiercer. Sun Yu was, after all, family by marriage, and he had been killed on Zhou Family territory. This was an infuriating outrage.
"Boy, what’s your name?" the Zhou Family Head asked coldly. "This Family Head does not kill the nameless!"
"Heh. You aren’t qualified to know who I am," Yang Qi replied. "Now that Sun Yu is dead, I have no desire to slaughter everyone. However, Sun Bie, if you ever dare to set foot in Jingnan Prefecture again, or harm Yao Qing in any way, I guarantee you won’t even have a whole corpse left."
Having killed Sun Yu and Sun Wanguan, Yang Qi knew the Sun Family was now powerless to seek revenge. Therefore, he had no intention of continuing the massacre and prepared to leave.
"Stop right there!"
The Zhou Family Head suddenly launched a palm strike from a distance, sending a terrifying gust of energy straight at Yang Qi. "You killed someone on Zhou Family grounds and think you can just leave? You hold my Zhou Family in far too little regard! And what’s this about me not being qualified to know your name? Who in the hell do you think you are to speak to me like that? Die!"
