Xiong Hua's heart trembled as an icy chill washed over him.
He realized he had ssed with the wrong person. The man before him was a true martial artist, one who had cultivated Inner Strength. He was no match for this person at all. The most terrifying part was that a single glance from this man had paralyzed that group of thugs. Xiong Hua couldn't even think of escaping.
"Brother! I admit defeat today, but you'd better let
go. After all, there's no bad blood between us. If you let
go now, we might even beco friends in the future!"
Yang Qi let out a cold laugh. "Friends? You think you're worthy of being my friend? What are you?"
"Sir, don't burn all your bridges. It's best to part on good terms! All you want is to save Bai Chuan, but do you have any idea what will happen if you offend
today? They'll only end up in a worse state! I don't believe you can protect those two siblings for the rest of their lives!" Xiong Hua said viciously. "I've already backed down, so don't push it. A cornered beast will lash out!"
Bai Chuan and Bai Yui's faces paled. They knew that provoking soone like Xiong Hua would bring them endless trouble.
"Originally, I had no intention of killing you," Yang Qi said with a faint smile, "but since you've put it that way, it seems I really can't spare you. If you're dead, you can't bother them anymore, can you?"
"You wouldn't dare kill ! If you do, you won't have an easy ti either. I'm telling you, I know a lot of people. If you dare kill
today, I guarantee you won't be able to survive in Kang City!" Xiong Hua threatened, still pinned to the ground.
He seed to genuinely believe Yang Qi wouldn't kill him. Admittedly, the man was tough and not easily intimidated. An ordinary young punk would have been scared stiff by his threats. But unfortunately for him, he had run into Yang Qi.
Yang Qi smiled faintly. "For that comnt alone, it seems I have no choice but to kill you. However, just killing you would be a waste. Before you die, let
give you a taste of what it ans to offend ."
He stood up, walked over to a broom, and snapped off several thin bamboo splinters. He returned to Xiong Hua and said, "You know, I'm a doctor. A practitioner of National dicine. I'm intimately familiar with the human body's acupoints. Among them are points that control pain, which I call 'Agony Points.' Once pierced, you'll be trapped in a state worse than death. Care to try?"
"Stop trying to scare ! I'm not afraid!" Xiong Hua blustered.
Yang Qi simply smiled, said no more, and plunged a bamboo splinter into him.
With just one splinter, Xiong Hua felt as if countless ants were devouring him from the inside. The pain was unimaginable.
Yang Qi paid him no mind and inserted a second splinter.
Xiong Hua let out a heart-wrenching scream, like a pig being slaughtered. "If you've got the guts, then just kill , you bastard!" He was in so much pain he could barely stand it.
"Still have the energy to curse? Hmm, that ans you can take more," Yang Qi chuckled, inserting a third splinter.
Xiong Hua completely broke down. The agony made him crave death; even dying would be a relief. But he couldn't move an inch. He could only lie there and endure the excruciating tornt. The problem was, this kind of pain wouldn't kill him. It would only make him hurt. Hurt until he wished he were dead.
He finally understood how terrifying Yang Qi was. This man was a true devil. This guy… he really would kill soone.
"Spare ! Please, spare ! I was wrong! I was wrong!" Xiong Hua finally shrieked. He couldn't take it. He couldn't endure it a second longer.
Yang Qi watched him coldly and laughed. "Weren't you the one who wasn't afraid of death? Weren't you the one talking so tough? I'll tell you what I think. Bai Chuan never should have gone to prison. Your brother brought it all on himself, just like you are today. The only difference is, you're going to suffer far more than your brother ever did.
"I heard about you from Xiong Ba. He might be vicious, but he rarely kills. You, on the other hand, are a different story. You kill people like they're nothing, and with extre cruelty. Even without what you did to Bai Chuan, you wouldn't be leaving here alive today. You don't deserve to."
"Please, I'm begging you, let
go! Please let
go! I was wrong! I'll turn over a new leaf!"
Though his words were desperate, his eyes betrayed his true thoughts. I swear, if I survive this, I will make Yang Qi pay! I'll make his entire family pay the price! Otherwise, my life as Xiong Hua will have been lived in vain!
Yang Qi saw the look in Xiong Hua's eyes and knew exactly what he was thinking. He couldn't help but sneer. "Bai Chuan, take your sister inside. I don't want her to have nightmares for the rest of her life."
"Understood!" Bai Chuan knew what Yang Qi was about to do. He had seen such things many tis over the years. It wouldn't affect him, but he couldn't let Bai Yui be traumatized. Her ntal state was already fragile from past experiences.
As soon as Bai Chuan and Bai Yui were inside, Yang Qi looked down at Xiong Hua. "Alright, I'm done tornting you. Ti for you to et your end."
With those words, he flicked his finger. A small ball of Spiritual Fire landed on Xiong Hua's body, which was instantly engulfed in flas. In a mont, he was reduced to a pile of ash. Nothing remained.
Xiong Hua's n watched in absolute horror, so frightened they nearly wet themselves.
Is this real? This is just like sothing out of an Immortal Cultivation novel!
"Get out," Yang Qi's voice bood like thunder. "You saw nothing today. And if I ever see any of you pulling this kind of stunt again, rember Xiong Hua. Now scram!"
The thugs scrambled to their feet and fled for their lives. They swore they never wanted to see Yang Qi again as long as they lived. He was a true devil, a terrifying demon of slaughter! It was too horrifying!
"You can co out now!" Yang Qi called, wiping his hands.
Bai Chuan and Bai Yui erged from the room. Seeing that Xiong Hua and his n had vanished, they were baffled.
"Where are they?" Bai Chuan asked.
"Xiong Hua won't be able to bully you ever again. He's gone to join his brother," Yang Qi said calmly. "As for the others, you don't need to worry. You'll never see them in Kang City again."
"Who… who are you, really?" Bai Chuan had already begun to see Yang Qi as so kind of god.
"I just wanted to ask your sister for a small favor," Yang Qi said, turning to Bai Yui. "The Qifei Group needs so celebrities to attend our new product launch. Contact as many as you know. Money is no object."
"Okay!" Bai Yui agreed without hesitation.
This was the second ti Yang Qi had saved her. She knew she had to repay this debt. Moreover, a man like him was incredibly powerful with a limitless future. If she could build a good relationship with him, her own future would be incredibly bright.
"By the way, Bai Chuan, if you're willing, you should co work for the Qifei Group," Yang Qi offered.
"But I don't know how to do anything," Bai Chuan said with a wry smile.
