Chapter 60: Counterattack and Humiliation

"Repay? What do you have to repay with?"

Song Haisan coldly watched as Yang Qi helped Li He to his feet, infused him with true qi, and displayed a fearless and fully in-control demeanor.

"I am an outer court disciple of the academy, and I have the authority to guide the servant students. This boy is not skilled enough, yet he expects me to give him face. Who does he think he is? And you, Yang Qi, you have offended me with your words. According to my usual nature, I would have crippled you by now. However, considering that you have also entered the Tianwei Academy, I will give you a chance to redeem yourself. Kneel down and perform the three bows and nine prostrations to me, and I will let you off. How about that?"

Song Haisan's eyes were fierce, like a cat watching a mouse.

He was toying with them.

Everyone could see that even if Yang Qi knelt and bowed, he would not let him off this time.

Yun Hailan watched quietly, with a look of interest.

Chu Tiange, the supreme expert at the Life Seizing Realm, merely stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back, the wind making his clothes flutter, and snowflakes falling from the sky.

"It's snowing."

Yang Qi reached out and caught a snowflake from the air: "Unfortunately, there's a dog barking in my ear all the time."

When these words came out, not only Li He, but even Huateng Hu, He Jili, and others nearby shivered, looking at Yang Qi with fear. They couldn't understand why Yang Qi would speak in such a manner.

Facing Song Haisan's overwhelming pressure, Yang Qi still dared to speak like this!

"What? What did you say?"

Song Haisan seemed not to hear clearly, then came to his senses, his face turning red with anger, and a powerful storm brewing behind him.

"Deaf? Song Haisan, I said you are a dog!"

Yang Qi suddenly roared, the sound shaking the heavens, like a thunderclap.

"Looking for death!"

Song Haisan could no longer hold back. With a whoosh, his large hand opened, fingers forming a dragon shape, true qi rising from his body, forming clouds, and his palm like a claw reaching down from the clouds to seize prey.

Cloud Dragon Claw!

This claw, with true qi condensed, enveloped the surroundings, the aura spreading, causing the street beneath to crack. Song Haisan's move was ruthless, with deep killing intent, aiming to end Yang Qi's life.

Yang Qi, without even looking, suddenly struck out, true qi condensing into a point, exploding from his fist, and the Unconquerable King Fist shot out. Behind him, six arms like a crab's moved aggressively.

His true qi, like a ten-thousand-ton boulder, was launched by a catapult, smashing into Song Haisan's true qi, breaking through it with ease.

Everyone saw that behind Yang Qi, six true qi arms swung, forming a massive true qi sphere. This sphere spun rapidly and struck Song Haisan's body, exploding all his protective true qi.

Song Haisan let out a惨叫, flying backward, his clothes torn, and he fell to the ground, struggling but unable to get up.

"Defeated..."

Seeing this, Yang He and others exclaimed.

Not only them, but even the outer and inner court disciples who had landed from the griffins were stunned. Song Haisan was a Qi Master, while Yang Qi was only at the Eighth Stage of Qi Gong. According to logic, the difference was vast, yet he was defeated in one move?

Yun Hailan's eyes narrowed; she seemed not to have expected this either.

"Hmm?" Even Chu Tiange's eyebrows twitched.

"You... " Song Haisan refused to believe he had failed, trying to struggle and attack Yang Qi again.

But Yang Qi's body flashed, and he appeared beside Song Haisan, squatting down and slapping his face: "Song Haisan, do you think that just because you reached the Qi Master realm, I can't do anything to you? You don't know that I have refined a Sky Absorbing Divine Grass, making my inner strength as powerful as a Qi Master..."

Yang Qi deliberately mentioned the Sky Absorbing Divine Grass to cover up his true cultivation.

When he helped Yang Zhan refine the Sky Absorbing Grass, he also absorbed a bit of its essence, understanding its characteristics well. Using the Divine Elephant Subduing Hell Power to simulate the true qi of the Sky Absorbing Grass was almost perfect, and no one could tell the difference.

Unless Chu Tiange directly infused true qi into his body, there was no way to detect the truth.

"Hailan, quickly kill this boy." Song Haisan, feeling humiliated, shouted loudly.

Slap!

Yang Qi slapped him across the face.

Song Haisan's howl was cut short, and a mouthful of blood and teeth spewed out.

"I said, whoever insults my brother, I will repay tenfold." Yang Qi said viciously, "Now, I will cripple your true qi, so you will never have that superiority again."

As he spoke, he was about to send a bolt of true qi to cripple Song Haisan.

"Enough!"

At that moment, Chu Tiange suddenly spoke, standing on the city wall, at least ten thousand steps away. With a wave of his sleeve, a surge of true qi rushed over, forming a shape of a thousand troops in the air, instantly pushing Yang Qi back.

"Powerful!"

Yang Qi felt the true qi was irresistible, surging over, and he could do nothing about it. Of course, he couldn't unleash his full strength, or he could break through the true qi, but if it provoked Chu Tiange to act against him, that would be bad.

He retreated over a hundred steps, and the true qi enveloped Song Haisan, lifting him onto the city wall.

Chu Tiange grabbed Song Haisan and infused a bolt of true qi into his body.

Immediately, Song Haisan's body trembled, the blood on his body evaporating, and intense true qi surged within him, making his body balloon-like.

"Heavenly Earth Spirit!"

Chu Tiange let out a long cry, and everyone saw a stream of clear light from the sky enter Song Haisan's body, making his teeth grow.

"Is this the power of the Life Seizing Realm?" Yang Qi licked his lips, finding it hard to believe.

Although he couldn't kill Song Haisan, he had humiliated him severely, venting his anger. However, the most critical person was still Yun Hailan!

Song Haisan was just a lackey of Yun Hailan.

"Alright, all his injuries are healed." Chu Tiange threw Song Haisan onto the griffin, then said to Yun Hailan gently: "Sister Hailan, it seems you have some grudge against this boy? This boy's true qi is extremely powerful due to the Sky Absorbing Grass. If he advances to the Qi Master realm, he will be even more formidable. If you say the word, I will help you deal with this matter. But you will owe me a favor, alright?"

Chu Tiange's words made the atmosphere suddenly tense.

He didn't take Yang Qi seriously at all, as if Yang Qi wasn't worth his effort, and he would only act if Yun Hailan owed him a favor.

"Brother Tiange, you are a supreme expert at the Life Seizing Realm, why do you make things difficult for us?" Huateng Hu shouted.

Chu Tiange ignored him, just staring at Yun Hailan.

"Forget it, his aunt is Yang Susu, and a Sky Absorbing Grass is nothing." Yun Hailan looked at Yang Qi for a long time, then exhaled: "Brother Tiange, let's go. There are many more vampire bandits to kill."

"His aunt is Yang Susu?" Chu Tiange's eyes suddenly brightened, shooting out rays of light several yards long, almost melting the space. "Good, very good. But even Yang Susu is nothing special. If you say the word, I will still help you deal with this trouble."

"Thank you, Brother. Let's go."

Yun Hailan moved and sat on the griffin's back. The griffin spread its wide wings and soared into the sky. As it flew away, she looked at Yang Qi one last time: "Yang Qi, it's best for you to be an ordinary person. Listen to me, go back. If you stay at the Tianwei Academy, you will regret it eventually."

"Thank you for your concern, but you should worry more about yourself."

Yang Qi replied.

Chu Tiange looked at Yang Qi deeply, then his body flashed, and he directly ascended into the air, transforming into a series of illusions. His skills were truly earth-shattering.

Whew...

A shocking event came to an end.

Seeing these people leave, Li He and others let out a long sigh, seemingly drained of all energy, in a state of extreme fatigue after excessive tension.

Yang Qi, however, was meditating with his eyes closed, sitting cross-legged on the ground, as if practicing something.

"Yang Qi, let's stay here for the night. There's no danger now. All the bandits are dead, and with an expert like Chu Tiange nearby, no bandits will dare to come." After a long time, Huateng Hu found some wood and a sheltered house, started a fire, and called to Yang Qi, who was meditating.

"Such a powerful Life Seizing Realm expert."

Yang Qi opened his eyes and waved his hand, "You go warm yourselves by the fire. I will practice in this heavy snow. Seeing Chu Tiange, I seem to have gained some insight, and my true qi is transforming, possibly breaking through to a new realm."

"Since that's the case, we won't disturb you."

Everyone nodded and went to the fire in the room, watching Yang Qi in the center of the street, protecting him.

The snow grew heavier, mixed with the north wind, covering the ground with a thick layer.

Around Yang Qi's body, there was always a true qi barrier, enveloping him, making the snow bounce off when it fell. Even on the ground, the true qi barrier kept him suspended.

In short, he was enveloped in a true qi sphere.

"Yun Hailan, you have Chu Tiange protecting you, but that's nothing. I will defeat him." Yang Qi's mind raced, his true qi boiling like molten lava, ready to erupt.

The thunderous giant elephant inside him started to move again.

Faintly, in the depths of his dantian, all the Divine Elephant Subduing Hell Power true qi formed a furnace model.

The "Hell Furnace" model enveloped the thunderous giant elephant, continuously refining it, releasing threads of life essence.

Buzz!

A particle in Yang Qi's body awakened again.

The power of the eleventh ancient giant elephant broke free from its cocoon.
