Chapter 563: I Do Not Agree!
Chapter 563: I Do Not Agree!
The members of the Zhao Family tensed up again.
Even Jia Mengxue clenched her fists.
Three beings, each comparable to the Heavenly Slaughter Sword in power. Any one of them could easily crush Yang Qi. How could he possibly win?
Of course, they only thought this way because they did not know what had happened inside the True Martial White Tower. Had they known, they would not have been so nervous.
Tang Zhetian looked at Yang Qi and sneered with contempt. "There’s one more thing I forgot to tell you. My own cultivation Realm has long since reached the Greater Accomplishment stage of a Third Rank Overlord! You may think you’re strong, but in front of me, you’re nothing! Even my eldest son, Wenyong, is a Third Rank Beginner Level Overlord. How can you possibly compare to us?"
Hearing this, everyone gasped.
The members of the Tang Family looked at Yang Qi with coldness and mockery. This was the fate that awaited anyone who dared to offend them—death. Yang Qi never should have crossed the Tang Family.
Meanwhile, Jia Mengxue and the members of the Zhao Family were beside themselves with worry.
"Brother Qi, just go! I won’t blame you. They’re too strong; you can’t possibly be their match," Ye Qianqian cried out in terror.
"Since he came here today, he can forget about escaping," Tang Zhetian said with a cold smile. He had hoped to see fear and anxiety on Yang Qi’s face, but to his irritation, the young man showed no reaction. His expression was simply icy and murderous.
"Is this it? Are all your people here?" Yang Qi asked, giving Tang Zhetian an indifferent glance.
Tang Zhetian gritted his teeth and roared, "You obstinate mongrel! How dare you still be so arrogant! Everyone, listen up! Attack together and slaughter this boy! Let him witness the true terror of our Tang Family!"
"Wait a second!"
At that moment, Jia Mengxue suddenly stood up. Her cold, elegant temperament outshined every other woman present. Although Ye Qianqian was pretty, she was still a bit too young and lacked Jia Mengxue’s commanding presence.
Jia Mengxue looked at Tang Zhetian and said, "Elder Tang, this person and I have some history. On behalf of the Mengxue Group, I would like to ask you to spare his life. Is that possible?"
At these words, everyone from the Tang Family was stunned.
The members of the Wang Family, the Yan Family, and the Black Wolf Sect were also shocked. When had this kid, Yang Qi, gotten himself involved with Jia Mengxue of the Mengxue Group?
Wang Teng was filled with envy, jealousy, and hate. First Lin Qingxuan, then Lei Yingying, and now Jia Mengxue... How does this Yang Qi have such good luck with women?
Jia Mengxue’s Mengxue Group was one of the top three business conglomerates in Dragon Country and ranked among the top ten worldwide. The group not only possessed massive assets but was also filled with powerful experts.
If Jia Mengxue were to negotiate with the Tang Family, Tang Zhetian would genuinely have to listen. Otherwise, the Tang Family’s businesses could come to a standstill.
Tang Zhetian frowned, then smiled at Jia Mengxue. "Miss Mengxue, do you really want to protect him? That will have to come at a price, won’t it? Otherwise, my Tang Family of Sea City would become a laughingstock!"
Jia Mengxue replied, "Rest assured, Elder Tang. I am willing to trade ten percent of the Mengxue Group’s shares for his life."
"Why!"
Tang Zhetian was even more puzzled. Ten percent of the Mengxue Group’s shares... Just how much money is that? It’s probably an incalculable sum. For Jia Mengxue to actually be willing to trade that for him... To be honest, the offer tempted even Tang Zhetian.
"Because he is worth protecting."
This was an investment for her, trading ten percent of her company’s shares for a future of hegemonic rule. Jia Mengxue was an ambitious woman who needed someone like Yang Qi to guard her path as she built the world’s strongest business empire.
Tang Zhetian fell into consideration.
The onlookers were dazed. From their perspective, if the Tang Family agreed, this would be a golden opportunity for Yang Qi to escape his predicament completely.
Jia Mengxue had stepped forward because she believed Yang Qi had no other choice. By saving him like this, she would also make him owe her a great favor.
After a moment’s thought, Tang Zhetian made his decision. "Alright, I agree. It’s a deal!"
"You may have agreed, but I haven’t," Yang Qi suddenly interjected.
His words left everyone stunned.
Jia Mengxue was stunned. Tang Zhetian was stunned. Zhao Haishan was stunned.
Everyone was utterly dumbfounded. This was a perfect chance to avoid death, yet he had just thrown it away. It was simply unbelievable.
"Yang Qi, do you realize what you’re saying? Our Miss is willing to give up ten percent of the Mengxue Group’s shares for you, and you’re refusing?" the woman beside Jia Mengxue shouted angrily.
"I am aware of Miss Jia’s kind intentions, and I appreciate the gesture," Yang Qi said calmly. "However, today isn’t about the Tang Family letting me go. It’s about me not letting them go."
"Hahaha!" Tang Zhetian burst into laughter. "I was genuinely willing to spare your life for those shares, but you threw the chance away yourself. You’re the one seeking death, so be my guest! All of you, attack! Make him kneel before my grandson’s Spirit Hall and repent!"
"Yes, sir!"
At Tang Zhetian’s command, the twelve men charged at Yang Qi simultaneously.
Yang Qi’s lips curled into a cold smile. Before the twelve could even reach him, he had already unleashed nine Cold Ice Chains.
The chains entangled the nine Second Rank Perfection Overlords and then shattered them. Before him, Second Rank Perfection Overlords were as fragile as ants, unable to withstand a single blow.
CRACK!
CRACK!
The shattered ice scattered across the ground in a spray of glittering crystals.
The crowd was surprised but not overly afraid; after all, Yang Qi had already shown that he could instantly kill Second Rank Perfection Overlords.
The three Third Rank Initial Stage Overlords were the real key.
In an instant, the three were in front of Yang Qi, attacking his vital points from different directions.
Yang Qi sneered and activated the Stone Armor Technique. Instead of dodging, he focused on one of them and threw a powerful punch.
The man was taken aback by Yang Qi’s boldness. He’s completely ignoring the other two attacks just to focus on me!
He sneered. "Boy, you’re courting death! When it comes to punching power, I’ve never lost to anyone! Die!"
In his mind, Yang Qi was courting death. Their pincer attack would annihilate him instantly.
However, the moment their fists collided, his expression turned ghastly.
CRACK!
"Aaaargh!" He let out a scream like a stuck pig as he was sent flying, both of his arms not only broken but also burning with flames.
At the same time, the other two attacks landed squarely on Yang Qi’s body.
BANG!
BANG!
"Haha, what a fool! Daring to take the attacks of two Third Rank Overlords head-on. He’s really courting death!" Tang Zhetian roared with laughter.
Wang Hai, Yan Feng, and Wang Teng also began to laugh. After taking those two hits, Yang Qi will either be dead or severely injured. Either way, he’ll be easy to deal with.
