Chapter 482: 482
As a collateral mber of the Tang Family, Tang Fei wasn’t as prestigious as a direct descendant, but he was still very wealthy. He could easily afford to hire so desperados.
Even as Yang Qi pondered the matter, he never stopped his attack. He burst through the window, instantly slaying four n.
This was a hotel, after all, not a suitable place for a fight. He planned to move the battle outdoors, where he could unleash his full power.
"Chase him!"
Despite their losses, the assailants had no intention of giving up. When they saw Yang Qi flee, they imdiately gave chase.
A cold smile curled on Yang Qi’s lips. What a bunch of suicidal fools. They think they can assassinate
with just over a dozen n?
He ruled out the people from Kappa Country. Nor could it be Jin Zizhen. The strongest among these assassins was rely an Innate Martial Artist. They weren’t even Martial Arts Masters.
Jin Zizhen and the people from Kappa Country knew how powerful he was. If they sent assassins, they would at least hire a Great Grandmaster. But these n were neither Great Grandmasters nor Grandmasters, not even Masters.
There was no doubt they were hired by Tang Fei. That idiot probably resorted to such a despicable strategy because he couldn’t outdrink .
Outside the hotel, in a nearby park, the rain continued to fall.
Yang Qi stopped and stood watching the dozen or so people chasing him from a distance. The lights were dim, and the night was shrouded in a drizzling rain. A normal person’s vision would be severely impaired, but this was trivial for a Cultivator like Yang Qi. He presud these Martial Artists also had ways to enhance their sight. They didn’t seem afraid either.
"Tell
who sent you, and I’ll spare your lives," Yang Qi said with a smile. "It’s obvious you’re no match for , so why sacrifice yourselves for nothing?"
In response, more than a dozen hand crossbows fired their arrows at him.
Yang Qi’s expression turned cold. In an instant, the space around him seed to freeze.
The raindrops stopped mid-air.
The crossbow arrows halted.
VWOOM!
With a great roar, everything—raindrops and arrows alike—shot back toward their source. All of them hit their targets. The dozen or so assassins fell to the ground. It was an effortless display of Yang Qi’s terrifying power.
"Yagyu Youya!"
Yang Qi walked over and lifted the mask from one man’s face. From the very beginning, he had felt this person’s aura was familiar. He hadn’t been mistaken.
"Did Tang Fei send you?"
"Yes!" Yagyu Youya nodded. "Tang Fei sent . You humiliated him so badly. How could he possibly let you off the hook? You should have thought of that."
"Is that so? Tang Fei wants to kill
just because he lost face? Heh... a true mber of the Tang Family—so ruthless. But you know, I can be quite ruthless too. Weren’t you aware? Since you ca to kill , you should have been prepared to risk your life."
Yang Qi looked at Yagyu Youya coldly. A fla ignited in his hand, and in a flash, all the corpses on the ground were burned to ash. Even on a rainy night, the fla could not be extinguished.
This was Spiritual Fire. It was no ordinary fire.
"You can’t kill !" Yagyu Youya panicked.
"And why is that?"
"I am a mber of the Yagyu family! If you kill , the Yagyu family will not let you go!" Yagyu Youya said coldly. "You’re a gifted young man with a bright future ahead of you, so you shouldn’t make an enemy of the Yagyu family."
"That’s not a reason," Yang Qi said, shaking his head.
"Huh?"
Yagyu Youya didn’t understand. Usually, just ntioning the Yagyu family na was enough to earn him imnse respect. Why did this young man seem completely unafraid? Why?
"What if I told you that Tang Fei has already gone to Chen Baixiang’s room?" Yagyu Youya shouted in desperation.
PFFT!
A burst of fire landed on Yagyu Youya. Before he could even scream, he was dead. Yang Qi imdiately dashed toward the hotel. At his speed, it wouldn’t take more than a minute to get there. He would definitely make it in ti.
However, the mont he arrived at the hotel, Yang Qi was stunned.
He found Tang Fei, Jiang Shan, and two others kneeling on the floor, trembling. Chen Baixiang stood with her arms folded. A few other people were standing nearby, dressed in the official garnts of the City Lord Mansion.
"Baixiang, what happened?" Yang Qi asked.
"This Tang Fei must have eaten a bear’s heart and a leopard’s gall! He tried to sneak into my room tonight to take advantage of , but I caught him red-handed!" Chen Baixiang said with a smile when she saw Yang Qi.
"You! How are you—"
Tang Fei was startled to see Yang Qi. He had seen Yang Qi’s room get riddled with arrows. How could he be unscathed? It was unbelievable.
"? I just went out to buy a few things and got back. What’s going on?" Yang Qi feigned ignorance.
Damn it, this guy is so lucky! It just so happens that he went out shopping? But what about Yagyu Youya and the others? Those were assassins I spent a fortune to hire! Tang Fei was incredibly frustrated.
However, he couldn’t worry about that now. He had a more pressing problem. They had picked a fight with the wrong person. He had thought Chen Baixiang would be an easy target, but she actually knew Jin Zizhen. This was a huge problem.
Standing next to Chen Baixiang was one of Jin Zizhen’s adopted sons, Jin Nan.
Jin Nan said, "Miss Chen, your grandfather saved my adoptive father’s life. This little matter is nothing to fuss over. How do you plan to deal with these scoundrels?"
Hearing this, Tang Fei and his three companions were completely dumbfounded.
A life-saving favor? Who exactly was Chen Baixiang? Her grandfather had saved Jin Zizhen’s life? This was too bizarre.
Yang Qi was also a little surprised. He had been worried about Chen Baixiang, but it turned out she had anticipated Tang Fei’s move and had already arranged for help. And that help ca in the form of Jin Zizhen’s adopted son, Jin Nan.
Jin Zizhen had four adopted sons but no biological sons, only one daughter. Therefore, his adopted sons held an exceptionally high status. The fact that Jin Nan was being so courteous to Chen Baixiang suggested that Elder Chen Guo had indeed done Jin Zizhen a great favor.
"Yes, how should I deal with them? Let
think," Chen Baixiang said with a smile that sent a shiver down the spines of Tang Fei and his companions.
"Take your ti," Jin Nan said. "But you shouldn’t stay at this hotel any longer. Ruoyun heard you were coming to Three Prefectures Town and is dying to see you. You should stay with her. She is my adoptive father’s only daughter, and you’re probably the only close friend she has in this world."
"No, I can’t. I didn’t co alone; Mr. Yang is with . I can’t just abandon him," Chen Baixiang said, shaking her head.
"It’s fine by !" Yang Qi smiled.
"It may be fine with you, but it’s not with ! My grandfather asked
to be your guide, and I can’t just abandon you halfway through!" Chen Baixiang declared righteously.
