"Dad, enough talking. I want to watch him die! Make him kneel, cripple him, then torture him before finally killing him!" Sun Bie said viciously.

The wedding to ward off ill-fortune had been on the verge of success, only to be interrupted. To make matters worse, this man was brazenly declaring he would annihilate their Sun Family of Longjiang Prefecture. How could they tolerate this?

Sun Wanguan nodded. "Do it. Make this brat kneel and cripple his Martial Arts first. I want to see just how capable he is, to dare to cause trouble in Longjiang Prefecture!"

Today, nearly all of the Sun Family’s experts had gathered here, so they were brimming with confidence.

"Don’t hurt him!" Yao Qing suddenly stepped in front of Yang Qi. "I’ll do whatever you want! Just let Yang Qi and my parents go. If you let them leave, I’ll agree to anything."

She was terrified, yet she had still done something she never would have expected of herself—she had actually stepped forward to protect Yang Qi.

Yang Qi smiled. His old class monitor was truly kind-hearted. But he was no longer the honest man from college who only knew how to bury his head in his studies.

He was a Cultivator! With him here, no one could harm this kind girl. A person like her doesn’t deserve a tragic fate. She deserves to be happy, forever happy!

"Keep that woman! Kill all the rest!" At that moment, Sun Yu’s voice rang out again. He was thoroughly enraged. Normally, he would never let anyone off for even the slightest offense against the Sun Family. Today, these people had repeatedly offended their family and humiliated them publicly. If they didn’t kill them, what face would they have left to call themselves one of the Ten Great Families of Longjiang Prefecture?

"Don’t kill them! Please, don’t! I already agreed to all your terms!" Yao Qing was desperate. She never imagined the consequences would be this severe. She had not only implicated her parents but also her benefactor, Yang Qi.

"Kill!" Sun Yu roared.

"Yes!"

Dozens of Sun Family experts lunged at Yang Qi.

"Go! Yang Qi, you have to run!" Yao Qing cried out in a panic.

Yang Qi just smiled. "Yiyang, protect Yao Qing and her parents."

Then, with a cold sneer, he condensed a golden longsword in his hand and faced the charging Martial Artists.

"Stubborn fools. The Sun Family must be destroyed!"

At that moment, Yang Qi’s murderous aura surged to the heavens. His presence was incredibly terrifying as his golden longsword swept out, unleashing a horrifying Sword Qi toward the Sun Family’s Martial Artists.

"Kill him!" Sun Wanguan shouted as he pulled his wife and son back.

Facing the dozens of men, Yang Qi let out a savage grin. With a single slash of his sword, over a dozen people were instantly slain, collapsing to the ground like heaps of mud, their life extinguished.

"Get lost or die! My feud is with the Sun Family. You have no reason to be involved," Yang Qi said coldly.

But they seemed unwilling to listen. A cold glint flashed in Yang Qi’s eyes as his left hand suddenly shot forward.

Fire Fist! Fireworks!

The exploding Fire Fist slammed into the crowd. Another dozen men died horribly on the spot, their bodies pierced through by the terrifying attack. These people were merely ordinary Innate Martial Artists. The gap between them and Yang Qi was simply too vast. It was a mystery what gave them the courage to come here seeking their own deaths. Of course, after a few dozen of their comrades had fallen, they finally began to feel fear and started to retreat, their faces masks of terror.

"Damn it! Grandmasters, attack!"

The Sun Family was, after all, one of Longjiang Prefecture’s Ten Great Families; they had plenty of experts. If Innate Martial Artists weren’t enough, then it was the Grandmasters’ turn!

Unfortunately, even the Grandmasters couldn’t withstand a single blow from him. Without needing any special techniques or Spells, a casual swing of his sword brought them down continuously. The sword strike was like a force of nature, unstoppably powerful. The Grandmasters couldn’t endure it, dying instantly just like the others. They were already breathless before their bodies hit the ground.

Powerful! Incredibly powerful!

Yao Qing was dumbstruck. Even the members of the Sun Family looked on with ashen faces.

"Where are the Great Grandmasters?! Kill him!" Sun Yu bellowed.

Great Grandmasters represented the pinnacle of Combat Power among the Ten Great Families.

The overall martial strength of Longjiang Prefecture is roughly on par with Jingnan Prefecture’s. Therefore, I judge that the strongest expert in the Sun Family is likely just a First Rank Overlord. Great Grandmasters are the most powerful subordinates they have. I have absolutely nothing to fear. Among the Ten Great Families of Longjiang Prefecture, the Sun Family only ranks in the middle tier; they aren’t particularly outstanding.

"Heh, Great Grandmasters? They’re just coming here to die. I can see your Cultivation wasn’t easy. You shouldn’t waste your lives," Yang Qi said nonchalantly.

"You arrogant whelp! We’ll show you what we’re made of!"

A dozen Great Grandmasters attacked simultaneously, lunging at Yang Qi.

"You don’t know life from death and can’t tell what’s good for you! You deserve to die!" All sympathy vanished from Yang Qi’s eyes. When people actively court death, there’s truly nothing you can do to stop them.

He swung his golden sword, and the golden Sword Qi exploded outward. In an instant, seven or eight of the dozen Great Grandmasters were dead. The survivors stared, their faces twisted in terror.

At this moment, Yang Qi was like an invincible god of war. He would slay gods and buddhas alike who stood in his way, completely unstoppable.

The Sun Family members were horrified. Sun Bie and Sun Wanguan, in particular, were scared to death by the sight. They had thought Yang Qi was just an ignorant brat who didn’t know his place, but he was unexpectedly this powerful.

Sun Yu’s brow furrowed deeply. This kid cannot be allowed to live. We must kill him. Otherwise, our Sun Family will never know a day of peace. Yang Qi is too strong, and more importantly, he’s so young. If he’s given more time to grow, the Sun Family will never be able to suppress him in the future.

"Everyone, stand back! Leave this brat to me!"

The speaker was Lin Xiong, the Sun Family’s Guard Captain. He was a Tenth Rank Great Grandmaster! Even within the whole of Longjiang Prefecture, he was considered a top-tier expert. He simply couldn’t stand by and watch any longer.

"The Sun Family is doomed. Do you intend to be buried with them?" Yang Qi asked, looking at Lin Xiong indifferently. "You are no match for me!"

"Brat, you’re too arrogant! Die!" Lin Xiong roared, then shot forward like a hawk swooping down on a rabbit. In mid-air, he had already drawn the war blade from his waist.

Void Slash!

The strike was breathtaking, sending the nearby guests scattering in terror. This was a strike from a Tenth Rank Great Grandmaster, after all. Anyone who got too close would surely lose their life. The air erupted with a violent, explosive crack. The terrifying, sharp edge of the blade pressed down on Yang Qi.

Yao Qing couldn’t help but shout, "Be careful!"

"Don’t worry," Yang Qi said with a light smile, casually swinging his sword to meet the attack.

CLANG!

The terrifying blade was blocked by the golden longsword. Powerful Energy radiated outward, shattering the surrounding chairs into splinters.

"What? He actually blocked it?!"

The Sun Family members were so terrified their hearts nearly jumped out of their chests. This was unbelievable! Lin Xiong hadn’t managed to kill Yang Qi in one strike. How was this possible?

That was a Tenth Rank Great Grandmaster! How could such a terrifying attack be blocked so casually? This was ridiculous!

Lin Xiong, who bore the brunt of the impact, was even more shocked. Although he hadn’t used his full strength, he was absolutely certain that blow could kill a Ninth Rank Great Grandmaster.

But Yang Qi, a young man in his twenties... could he possess the Realm of a Ninth Rank Great Grandmaster? I simply can’t believe it. This is far too absurd! How could something like this be happening?
