Chapter 564 Useless, Even for an Overlord!
Chapter 564 Useless, Even for an Overlord!
Tang Zhetian and the others watched Yang Qi get hit, satisfied smiles spreading across their faces. They thought he was finished.
The next moment, however, they were left speechless.
The attack should have struck a vital spot, but it hadn’t caused any damage. Instead, the recoil sent excruciating pain shooting up their arms, leaving their fists bloody.
Yang Qi ignored them. He lunged toward the injured martial artist, taking advantage of the man’s broken arms to slam his palm into his chest.
BOOM! CRACK!
The martial artist’s chest caved in on impact, shattering an unknown number of ribs. He collapsed, struggled for a moment, and then breathed his last.
A mighty Third-Rank Accomplished Overlord had been killed by Yang Qi’s fists, unable to even withstand two attacks.
This man was too weak. Even though he’s in the same Realm as Heavenly Slaughter Sword, all three of these men together would be no match for him.
Heavenly Slaughter Sword had honed his astonishing combat skills through countless battles on the verge of life and death. This rabble could not possibly compare.
Witnessing a Third-Rank Martial Arts Overlord fall in battle left everyone dumbfounded.
Almost everyone present had believed it was an inescapable death trap for Yang Qi. They never imagined he would survive, let alone kill one of his attackers. Yet now, the truth was laid bare: a Third-Rank Overlord had been slain by Yang Qi’s hand.
Jia Mengxue trembled from head to toe—with agitation, surprise, and above all, exhilaration! I backed the right horse! Even though he refused my offer, I still helped him. That means he’ll surely help me in the future. That’s enough for me.
Yang Qi turned to face the two remaining men, who were frozen in shock. A ferocious smile twisted his lips. "Third-Rank Overlords? In my presence, you’re a joke!"
With that, he attacked again. Nine Cold Ice Chains shot toward the two men. They dodged desperately, but the chains still managed to ensnare them. At that moment, a golden longsword materialized in Yang Qi’s hand and struck out like a venomous snake.
As the two men struggled frantically to break free from the Cold Ice Chains, one of them met his end. A sword pierced his heart.
The second Third-Rank Overlord froze, his body slowly slumping to the ground. He had fallen. Another instant kill. A Third-Rank Accomplished Overlord, killed in a single blow.
Just how terrifying is this Yang Qi?! Even Tang Zhetian gasped, his earlier composure shattering, replaced by a fear that made his entire body tremble.
The others were in an even worse state. Wang Hai, Yan Feng, and Wang Teng seemed to have forgotten how to breathe, watching the gruesome scene unfold as if they were suffocating. Is he even stronger than when he defeated Heavenly Slaughter Sword at the True Martial White Tower? No! That’s not it! He was holding back then! This is his true power!
The members of the Zhao Family, on the other hand, were ecstatic. They were thrilled beyond words!
Zhao Haishan in particular was stunned. He had guessed that Yang Qi was strong, but he never imagined he would be this powerful. Those three men were certainly on par with the top-tier martial artists of Jingnan Prefecture, yet they were no match for Yang Qi. Two were already dead, and the third was pale with fright.
It was simply too shocking, too unbelievable!
A Demon God! The term flashed through Zhao Haishan’s mind.
Yang Qi paid no mind to the onlookers, his gaze settling on the last Third-Rank Overlord. His goal this time was to destroy the Tang Family of Sea City and make an example of them, deterring anyone else from harboring malicious intentions toward Jingnan Prefecture. He certainly wouldn’t spare anyone who dared to help the Sea City Tang Family try to kill him.
"Spare... spare me!" The last Third-Rank Overlord was so intimidated by Yang Qi’s aura that he dropped to his knees and begged for his life. "I was just hired by Tang Zhetian! I don’t want the money! Just please, spare my life!"
Yang Qi gave him an indifferent glance and turned away. "Get lost."
He then started walking toward Tang Zhetian. With the hired thugs dealt with, it was time to eliminate the man himself and bring the day’s events to a close.
However, the moment Yang Qi turned his back, a sinister smile crept across the kneeling Overlord’s face. He produced a Poison Dart and flicked it at Yang Qi. The Poison Dart was incredibly fast and potent. Not even the Stone Armor Technique could likely block it completely. A mere scratch would be enough to poison Yang Qi to death. The man was truly insidious.
"Go to hell, you idiot! As if I’d really surrender!" the man cackled, convinced of his own success and Yang Qi’s stupidity.
"Well done!" Tang Zhetian laughed, shocked that Yang Qi could be so naive.
However, the Poison Dart passed straight through Yang Qi’s body and continued flying toward Tang Zhetian.
Tang Zhetian’s expression grew stern. He quickly grabbed someone to use as a shield to block the projectile. Poison darts were among the hardest attacks to defend against, and he knew how terrifying that man’s darts were. He would never try to catch one with his bare hands.
"I gave you a chance. You were the one who didn’t cherish it." It was only a Clone of Yang Qi. The real Yang Qi had already appeared behind the martial artist, his cold, golden blade piercing the man’s throat before he could utter a final word.
He didn’t actually enjoy killing. If the man had truly intended to leave, he would have let him go. Unfortunately, the man had dug his own grave, so he had no one to blame but himself.
"All Tang Family martial artists, attack! Hack this man to pieces!" Tang Zhetian was afraid. He was truly afraid. The ease with which Yang Qi had killed nine Second-Rank Overlords and three Third-Rank Overlords was more than enough to terrify him.
"Yes!" Every member of the Tang Family understood one simple truth: if Yang Qi didn’t die today, they would. They had to attack together.
Yang Qi smiled. "Tang Zhetian, where’s that arrogance of yours now? What’s this, you’re only just now thinking to swarm me? Too bad, it’s too late. But don’t you worry. I’ll let you watch every last member of your Tang Family die before your very eyes. Then, finally, I’ll send you on your way."
He took a step forward, and an icy aura instantly flooded the area. It was as if a ferocious beast of the glaciers had been unleashed. The cold imprisoned countless martial artists, leaving them to die in a frozen slumber. In a single sweep, an untold number of them were turned into ice sculptures.
Only Tang Wen Yong, Tang Wenqiang, Tang Zhetian, Wang Hai, Yan Feng, and Wang Teng remained standing.
Wang Hai shielded Wang Teng, but even so, they were both covered in a thick layer of white frost. They wouldn’t be able to endure the bitter cold for much longer. As Yang Qi’s Realm increased, the power of his Ice Condensing Technique grew ever stronger.
"Now, who should I send off first?" Yang Qi mused, walking toward Tang Wenqiang and Tang Wen Yong now that the ants were gone. "Hmm, let’s start with Tang Wenqiang. I spared his life twice, yet he showed no gratitude. He can be the first to go."
"No! Stay away from me! Father, save me!" Tang Wenqiang cried out. He was already injured; just resisting the bone-chilling cold was an agonizing effort. Facing an attack from Yang Qi now was an impossible feat.
