Chapter 28: Two Families Clash

"Such incredible speed."

Seeing Yang Qi disappear in a flash, followed by the sharp sound of air bursting in the distance, even the old butler was taken away. Yan Feixia's heart twitched. She was also a Qigong Seventh Stage expert, with a profound understanding of qi. More importantly, as a disciple of the True Dragon Academy, her understanding of qi was far deeper than anyone in Yan Capital.

Yang Qi's sudden burst of speed had already surpassed her understanding of qi. In her knowledge, no one could instantly release such intense qi at this level, not even some of the world-class geniuses in the True Dragon Academy.

"Father clearly has strong hostility towards Yang Qi today, but it's not surprising. The emergence of such a genius from the Yang family poses a significant threat to our Yan family. However, since Yang Qi saved me, I have a sense of gratitude. If I have a conflict with Father, I will be in a difficult position."

Sighing, she continued to host the banquet. Unfortunately, all the young talents at the banquet saw Yang Qi leave and also bid farewell one after another. They saw that the Yang family and the Chen family were about to have a large-scale conflict, and they felt that the power dynamics in Yan Capital were about to change. How could they sit still? They all wanted to go and watch the spectacle.

In no time, the entire banquet was empty.

Yan Feixia had no heart for hosting and directly returned to the inner city to report to her father, Yan Gufeng.

At this moment, Yang Qi, holding the old butler, had already left the City Lord's residence and crossed dozens of streets, arriving at the street where the Yang family residence was located.

From a distance, he saw a group of people gathered on the square in front of the Yang family residence, their aura fierce and intimidating.

The square in front of the Yang family residence could accommodate thousands of people.

Now, at the end of the square, a group of soldiers appeared, all wearing armor, uniformly at Qigong Fourth Stage, with strong bodies. Some of the captains were even Qigong Fifth Stage experts.

There were over a thousand of them.

These people, armed with strong bows, crossbows, long spears, and long pikes, aimed at the Yang family residence, ready to charge and destroy the family at any moment.

Undoubtedly, these were the private troops of the Chen family, a formidable fighting force.

On the Fertile Continent, every major noble family maintained private troops. The Chen family, with over a thousand private troops, was considered relatively small. Some huge noble families had hundreds of thousands of troops, which was not uncommon.

These private troops were the force that protected the family and, in times of chaos, the capital for competing for dominance.

Now, the Chen family had brought out their private troops and gathered in front of the Yang family residence, clearly intending to have a real fight. If things went badly, the Yang family would be overwhelmed and destroyed.

Of course, the Yang family was not to be trifled with. A long horn sounded from within the residence, and the gates opened wide. A group of Yang family private troops also poured out, armed with strong bows, crossbows, and large iron shields, their momentum like a rainbow.

The Yang family's private troops were also formidable, numbering over a thousand, each with a strong and robust physique, full of vigor.

This made some of the Chen family's people frown.

Not long ago, Yang Qi had produced the "Dragon Subduing Pill," and everyone knew about it. Some even saw the Yang family start to buy large amounts of rice, meat, and other coarse foods.

On the Fertile Continent, rice and meat were consumed by the lower class, while the nobility and wealthy families took Qi Gathering Pills.

If the Yang family's private troops consumed rice and meat for a long time, their combat power would not only decline, but they might also become disheartened and leave the family.

The Chen family had targeted this point, which was why they had brought their troops to the brink.

However, it now seemed that the Yang family's private troops had not only not declined in combat power but were even more fierce than before, not at all like those who had consumed coarse foods.

In fact, this was due to the large amount of wealth Yang Qi had brought, allowing the family to temporarily overcome the crisis.

Many Qigong experts from the Chen family stood in front of the private troops, with the Chen family head, Chen Dalai, personally leading them. His qi circled around his body, and his anger was evident.

At this moment, the two Yang brothers, Yang Yunchong and Yang Hualong, stood in front of the private troops, facing off against the Chen family's experts. Their faces were somewhat pale.

Yang Zhan was still in seclusion, and the two brothers found it difficult to handle such a large-scale situation.

"Yang Yunchong, Yang Hualong, why are you two here? Quickly call out Yang Zhan. I want to ask him why his son has destroyed the qi seas of many of our Chen family's disciples," Chen Dalai's voice was like thunder, shaking the tiles on the roof of the Yang family residence.

"Chen family head, please don't be angry. We have always valued peace..."

Yang Yunchong immediately said, "We haven't even figured out the cause and effect of this matter. Why do you need to bring such a large force and cause chaos in Yan Capital?"

"Ridiculous! Do you have the right to speak to our head like this? Little brat, head, don't wait any longer. I have already found out that Yang Zhan is in seclusion, trying to break through to the Qi Master stage. If he succeeds, it will be very difficult for us to destroy the Yang family. We should act now."

A tall elder of the Chen family stepped forward, speaking sternly.

"That's right, Chen Dalai. Our Shadow Poison Sect supports you from behind. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that the Yang family's forces in other places will counterattack?" Among the many Qigong experts of the Chen family, several unnoticeable black-clothed figures stood. One of them, with eyes like a wolf, spoke to Chen Dalai in a devilish, seductive voice.

"Once we destroy the main line of the Yang family, some of the Yang family's branches will be overjoyed. Besides, our Shadow Poison Sect has already set up a web of control. We plan to establish an agent in Yan Capital, destroy the Yan family, and then change Yan Capital to Chen State, your Chen family's state."

"Very well, let's kill these two little brats first. We have no room for negotiation with the Yang family. Everyone, follow my command! Attack!"

Chen Dalai's face changed dramatically. He was initially hesitant, but the words of the black-clothed man made him finally make up his mind.

With a roar, Chen Dalai's command was issued, and immediately, the thousand-strong Chen family army drew their bows and crossbows, and arrows flew through the air.

The sky was filled with a dense swarm of arrows, all aimed at the Yang family's troops.

"Form the shield wall! Quickly, quickly!"

Yang Yunchong and Yang Hualong's eyes turned red. They activated their qi, and a strong wind blew as they each grabbed a shield to block the rain of arrows.

The steel shields were hit with a loud clanging sound, and dents appeared on their surfaces.

"Two little brats!"

Swoosh, swoosh!

Chen Dalai's large hand grabbed two long spears, which immediately floated in front of him. They suddenly spun at high speed and shot out in a spiral, aiming directly at the two large iron shields.

Bang, bang!

The large iron shields were pierced through, and the intense qi caused the shields to explode. Yang Yunchong and Yang Hualong roared and retreated quickly.

Some of the Yang family's experts rushed out to help their young masters, striking several times to block the exploding spears.

Among the Yang family's private troops were several Qigong Sixth Stage experts.

"You can avoid the first, but not the fifteenth!"

Chen Dalai's side, an elder named Chen Dalong, his body trembling, a blade of qi appeared in his hand, extending to three zhang in length, spinning rapidly, forming a wheel. "Fires of War Wheel!"

In an instant!

The Fires of War Wheel's qi slashed through the air, aiming at Yang Yunchong and Yang Hualong, completely enveloping them in intense qi.

"Looking for death!"

At that moment, a long cry echoed from the street entrance, and a figure rushed forward at incredible speed, scattering the arrows with his protective qi.

Even the steel arrows shot at his body were shattered into pieces by his spinning qi, unable to harm him.

It was Yang Qi.

As he rushed forward, his qi preceded him. A large hand of true qi, like a meteor, struck the Fires of War Wheel.

The formidable Fires of War Wheel shattered like an egg under the true qi hand.

"Who dares to cause trouble at my Yang family's gate?"

Yang Qi rushed to the front, his cry stopping, but the echoes continued, and the ground was littered with broken arrows.

"Little brat! You finally came out. This time, I will destroy your Yang family," Chen Dalai said, grinding his teeth.

"Hmph! Your Chen family colludes with the Shadow Poison Sect, poisoning my brothers. I merely retaliated in kind, it's fair and just!" Yang Qi observed the many elders and experts of the Chen family, noticing some at Qigong Seventh Stage and even a few at Eighth Stage. Clearly, they had come with all their strength, determined to destroy the Yang family.

Such a force would be difficult for the Yang family to resist even at its peak.

"You, and you... these black-clothed men, I doubt they are your Chen family's experts, but rather the strong ones from the Shadow Poison Sect?" Yang Qi pointed at the black-clothed men.

"You're right, boy. Kneel and beg, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, I will turn all the experts of your Yang family into poison zombies, poison puppets, and living dead. Your father Yang Zhan's body has already been targeted by us. This time, you cannot escape, hahaha..."

The black-clothed men of the Shadow Poison Sect laughed, their voices sharp and piercing.

"From now on, the Yang family will be erased from Yan Capital."

"What does the Yang family have that dares to oppose us, the Shadow Poison Sect? What we want, you must hand over, even your heads and lives. If you resist, we will make you suffer worse than death."

One of the black-clothed men laughed especially arrogantly.

"Very well, the Chen family and the Shadow Poison Sect have no reason to exist in this world."

Yang Qi listened quietly, then suddenly, true qi shot out from every pore of his body, like swords piercing the sky, cutting through metal and stone.

All the broken arrows on the square floated in the air, each spinning intensely, creating a cacophony of screams. Some iron arrows, spinning at high speed, produced sparks from friction with the air, and a pungent smell of burning metal spread across the square.

"Hell's Vortex!"

With a roar, all the arrows shot towards the Chen family's army.

At the same time, Yang Qi's figure rushed forward. He was launching a solo attack against a thousand-strong army and a family's elite.
