Chapter 30: One Man Against a Thousand

"Is the leader dead?"

"The leader's martial arts were at the peak of the eighth level, how could he die? Only a ninth-level Qi Master could kill him."

"Could this kid be a Qi Master? How is that possible? He's only eighteen years old. An eighteen-year-old Qi Master is a once-in-a-thousand-years genius in the entire continent."

"Let's go, we need to report to the elders and send experts to kill him. His body is so strong, it can definitely be refined into a Ten Thousand Poison Puppet."

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Several experts from the Shadow Poison Sect flew out, their martial arts supporting their bodies as they glided through the air.

They all froze when they saw Yang Qi crush the leader's head with one foot, then quickly came to their senses and fled. Everyone knew they were no match for this eighteen-year-old youth.

"Do you think you can run?"

Yang Qi let out a thunderous roar. Centered on him, all the soldiers within three hundred steps fell to the ground, blood streaming from their ears, unconscious.

The long spears and lances in their hands, driven by invisible qi, rose into the air, streaking through the sky like lightning, piercing the backs of all the Shadow Poison Sect experts.

The steel spears and lances spiraled and impacted in the air, almost creating sparks from friction with the air. The pungent smell of iron spread across the entire square.

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!...

Seven or eight consecutive cries of agony. All the Shadow Poison Sect experts flying through the air were pierced by the spears, nailed to the ground. Some with strong true qi were still alive, writhing on the ground, their cries of pain chilling to the bone.

At this moment, Yang Qi's foot left the shattered head of the Shadow Poison Sect leader. His true qi vibrated, shaking off the blood, leaving his clothes clean, as if he had not just been in a fierce battle.

He turned around again, staring at all the experts of the Chen family, a smile on his face: "Chen Dalai, Chen Dalong... Do you think you can destroy my Yang family by colluding with the Shadow Poison Sect? What a joke. I'll give you a chance now. Surrender to our Yang family and become our slaves, and I will spare your lives. Otherwise, the Chen family will be wiped out, every last one of you."

"Spit!"

Chen Dalong glared: "Do we, so many people, fear you alone? Youngster, our Chen family has deep roots. Today, we will fight to the death with your Yang family."

Although his tone was strong, his heart was pounding. Seeing Yang Qi destroy all the Shadow Poison Sect experts, invulnerable to blades and spears, he was unsure if the Chen family's experts could match him.

Almost all the Chen family experts were on the verge of madness, wanting to scream hysterically. Yang Qi's martial arts were truly unexpected. It was like finding an emperor in disguise among the beggars on the street.

An eighteen-year-old youth, single-handedly repelling a family and the Shadow Poison Sect, standing alone against a thousand, was a feat that, if spread, would cause a significant stir not only in the entire Yan Capital but also across the Fertile Continent.

Yang Qi's performance could be called a once-in-a-thousand-years genius.

"Boy, don't be arrogant. Let me ask you. How much true qi did you consume in this battle? You are just strong on the outside but weak on the inside. I can see that your true qi is already exhausted."

Chen Dalai's voice was sharp, as if he had revealed a great truth.

"Yes, his true qi is already exhausted. We should take advantage of his true qi not being restored and quickly kill him."

"This time, the Yang family has killed so many people from the Shadow Poison Sect, making them mortal enemies. Even if they don't destroy us now, it will be hard to escape the Shadow Poison Sect's revenge."

"Kill him, he is just an empty shell, waiting to restore his qi."

Chen Dazhen, a Chen family expert, could no longer bear it. He held a long spear and, with the speed of a bird diving into a forest, flew a hundred steps and thrust at Yang Qi.

"Blooming Hundred Flowers!"

A spear technique, true qi burst from the spear tip, forming a hundred blooming flowers. This was the Chen family's "Blooming Hundred Flowers Spear Technique," a single thrust like the arrival of spring, capable of affecting the weather in a small area, its wonders indescribable.

"Stupid, my true qi is exhausted? You, a bunch of trash, can see that?" Yang Qi saw the Blooming Hundred Flowers Spear Technique coming and let out a long roar: "Killing you a hundred times would not deplete my true qi. I gave you a chance out of mercy. Since you don't want it and seek death, I will grant your wish."

Boom!

A massive burst of qi erupted from his body. Yang Qi's single palm grabbed into the spear shadow of the "Blooming Hundred Flowers" technique, directly capturing the spear tip, and all the spear shadows disappeared.

"How is this possible?"

Chen Dazhen fell from the air, unable to pull the spear tip out of Yang Qi's grip, his face turning red.

Yang Qi shook his hand.

The entire steel spear split, like bamboo breaking, the force of the steel explosion tearing Chen Dazhen's tiger's mouth. He quickly abandoned the spear, but a shadow already collided with him.

This shadow, like a herd of elephants trampling the earth, made Chen Dazhen feel the ground shaking violently. Then a massive black shadow hit him, and he heard the sound of his bones, meridians, and flesh tearing apart. He went black and knew nothing.

He was crushed to death.

Even if he were made of iron, encountering Yang Qi's five ancient elephant-strength impact, he would have been flattened into an iron pancake.

"Run, run!"

Chen Dalai truly saw that Yang Qi was like an ancient supreme demon, impossible to resist, with seemingly endless true qi and attacks as fierce as ancient beasts awakening.

He even thought that Yang Qi was not human but the soul of an ancient beast possessing a human body.

"He is not human, he is a demon. We must unite all the major families in Yan Capital to slay the demon." The Chen family members were now thinking of retreating.

"Run!"

Chen Dalai gave the order, and all the private soldiers gathered. The Chen family experts joined together, slashing a palm at Yang Qi to stop him from advancing.

"Can you run?"

Yang Qi's body collided again, like an elephant, a tiger, a dragon, a crane... He leaped dozens of feet high and pounced down, his true qi covering hundreds of steps, unleashing a frenzy of slaughter.

A flick of his finger, a spiral qi pill shot out, piercing through armor and taking the life of a Chen family warrior.

A palm strike, the Invincible King Fist shattered the hearts of over ten warriors.

"Heavenly Net!"

Then, his fingers fluttered, and true qi shot out hundreds of steps, forming a dense web like spider silk, blocking the retreat of all the Chen family experts.

Chen Dalai tried to run, but a true qi web appeared before him. He waved his hand, a sword qi slashed at the web, trying to cut it. But the true qi from the web was endless, like water flowing from a cut.

"Monster!"

All the Chen family elders were shocked and angry.

Now, in their eyes, Yang Qi was no longer human but a monster. Otherwise, it was impossible to explain his strength. Only being possessed by a thousand-year-old demon could reasonably explain his current cultivation.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

At this moment, a long roar echoed from deep within the Yang family estate. The voice was full of energy, piercing the heavens, making the clouds tremble slightly.

Qi connecting to the clouds!

Someone had advanced to a Qi Master.

A ninth-level Qi Master, at the moment of advancement, had the phenomenon of qi connecting to the clouds, communicating with heaven and earth. Someone had just advanced to a Qi Master.

Yang Qi continued to circulate his qi, forming a web that entangled the many experts of the Chen family. He knew that this phenomenon was his father, Yang Zhan, advancing to a Qi Master, ensuring the prosperity of the Yang family.

Sure enough, in the roar, a voice came: "Qi, you truly surprise me, but don't slaughter indiscriminately. Capture the Chen family alive."

It was Yang Zhan's voice.

With this voice, a figure rose into the air and then walked down step by step, without using wing qi to fly, as if walking on flat ground.

A Qi Master has the ability to run briefly in the sky.

This is the power of a ninth-level Qi Master.

Boom!

When Yang Zhan landed, almost all the Chen family experts despaired. They could not defeat Yang Qi, and now they had to face another Qi Master, Yang Zhan. How could they be a match?

"Chen Dalai, lie down."

Taking advantage of their moment of shock, Yang Qi burst forward, reaching Chen Dalai and slashing a palm.

Chen Dalai quickly defended, the Chen family's martial arts forming a qi wall. But Yang Qi's hand slashed, and all the qi walls crumbled.

"White Tiger Devouring the Corpse!"

On Yang Qi's palm, a white tiger's head formed, opening its blood-filled mouth and biting down. Chen Dalai could not dodge in time, and after being bitten, his true qi leaked, falling under Yang Qi's control.

The White Tiger Devouring the Corpse technique contained a capture, and once captured, a person was like a corpse, unable to move, completely controlled.

This was the current state of the Chen family's patriarch.

Chen Dalai, a generation's patriarch, had led the Chen family for twenty years, but now he was captured by a young member of the Yang family, a fact that could not help but make people sigh.

The private feud between the two family patriarchs had long been seen by the major families in Yan Capital. Some powerful forces crowded onto this street, not getting close but watching to see who would be injured in the fight between the two tigers.

The result was a complete defeat for the Chen family. The Yang family, with just Yang Qi, had crushed the Chen family, leaving everyone feeling incredulous.

Previously, everyone thought Yang Qi was a spoiled disciple, a waste to the family. But now, everyone's perception had changed.

And this change was too drastic.

From a spoiled youth to a supreme strongman in less than a month. Everyone felt as if they were in a dream, unsure what had happened. Everyone looking at Yang Qi, who had captured Chen Dalai, felt a demonic aura.

"Your patriarch is captured, will you still resist?"

Holding Chen Dalai, Yang Qi let out a thunderous roar.
