Chapter 470: Savior!
Chapter 470: Savior!
Yang Qi smiled faintly. "Kong Renyi, you’re quite impressive, even stronger than Old Master Kong! But why feign weakness? Be careful. When you pretend to be a pig to hunt a tiger, you might just end up becoming a pig for real.
"As for my business with the Black Wolf Sect, the Kong Family needn’t worry. I will handle it myself. You can all just continue playing the pig over there!"
"How arrogant!"
This was the universal sentiment of everyone in the Kong Family.
To call the Family Head by his name! To declare he would make an enemy of the Black Wolf Sect! Did this man not know that among the four sects and six families, the Black Wolf Sect possessed the most terrifying Combat Power?
Old Master Kong sneered, "Brat, defeating me proves you’re skilled, but you truly don’t understand the terror of the Black Wolf Sect. They are far more formidable than you can imagine. For you to oppose them is like an egg smashing against a rock. You are utterly ignorant of your own limits! Do you think saying it’s none of our business makes it so? If you die, won’t the Black Wolf Sect still come to our Kong Family for revenge?"
Kong Renyi also spoke faintly, "When people don’t see eye to eye, even half a sentence is too much. I restrain myself because I know my limits; I am not the strongest in Jingnan Prefecture. You are formidable! Your father is even more so! However, there are always higher mountains and stronger people. Mitsuhide Kamishiro is only the strongest on the surface. Jingnan Prefecture, while being the region where Martial Arts is in the greatest decline, still hides many masters. As far as I know, the Black Wolf Sect has such experts. They could kill you with a single slap.
"Originally, our family intended to protect you, provided you obediently followed our orders. We would have guaranteed not only that the Qifei Group could enter Thunder City, but also that you would survive. But since you are so stubbornly foolish, we have no choice but to abandon you."
"Hahaha! You, protect me?" Yang Qi burst into laughter. "The insignificant Kong Family? If I wanted to destroy you, it would be as easy as flipping my hand. But rest assured, I won’t. I will let Kong Tianjian take charge of the Kong Family in the future because I think that would be more amusing. Kong Tianjian, are you willing to leave the Kong Family?"
"I am!" Kong Tianjian declared loudly.
The Kong Family members didn’t stop him. Their plan all along was to expel him today and let the Black Wolf Sect kill him, settling the matter for good. Since Kong Tianjian was proposing it himself, all the better.
"You can leave the family, but today, your Martial Arts must be crippled! Everything you have was given to you by the Kong Family. You must leave it all behind!" Kong Renyi said coldly. This seemingly gentle man was, in fact, so insidiously cruel.
"Kong Renyi, don’t you go too far!" Kong Tianjian had never imagined his own younger brother would make such an outrageous demand. Cripple his Martial Arts!
"If you want to be Yang Qi’s dog, then let him teach you Martial Arts. As for what belongs to the Kong Family, shouldn’t you return it?" Kong Renyi said coldly.
"Do it," Yang Qi said calmly. "Cripple your Martial Arts, but remember the hatred you feel today. You will take your revenge later!"
"Yes!"
Kong Tianjian gritted his teeth and slammed a palm into his Dantian Qi Sea, crippling the Martial Arts he had cultivated for over forty years and turning him into an ordinary man. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his cold gaze sweeping over the room full of his kin. "Old Master, Kong Renyi, and all the rest of you!" he snarled. "Remember what happened here today! Forcing me to cripple my own Martial Arts is tantamount to sending me to my death!
"But I will not die. I will be back! When that time comes, I’ll make every last one of you kneel before me and cripple your own Martial Arts! I’ll make you all my dogs!"
"Hahahaha!"
The members of the Kong Family burst into wild laughter. They thought Kong Tianjian was truly stupid and ignorant. A cripple, and he still dreamed of revenge? Even if he started his cultivation over, how far could he get? He was over forty, long past the prime age for cultivation. He was destined to fall into decline for the rest of his life.
"Kong Tianjian, considering you’re my brother, I’ll give you a piece of advice," Kong Renyi said sarcastically. "Stay away from this Yang Qi. Don’t be fooled by his father’s prowess. He has also offended the Kamishiro family! He’s a bona fide walking disaster. Following him will only lead to your death! Get lost, you piece of trash!"
Kong Yu also cackled. "You really are a pathetic dog! You cripple your own Martial Arts just because someone tells you to. Your brain must have been kicked by a donkey."
"Let’s go," Yang Qi said, glancing at Kong Tianjian. "I guarantee you will be back for revenge soon. You will reclaim what is rightfully yours and make this group of snobs, who look down on others, kneel and beg you!"
He was actually quite speechless. He had come to the Kong Family today to help them, since he had both Kong Tianjian and Kong Dijian under his control. Unfortunately, he detested their attitude. Now, not only did he not want to help them, he wanted to make them suffer.
Just as Yang Qi was about to leave, he saw a man being led upstairs by a group of people. Yang Qi glanced over but didn’t recognize him, so he paid him no mind.
"President Ye!" Kong Renyi, however, saw the man and immediately stood up. His face beamed with a fawning smile as he hurried to greet him.
Today, they had invited another guest. Unlike the ignorant junior Yang Qi, this was a distinguished guest, a truly important figure in Jingnan Prefecture: the President of the Jingnan Martial Arts Association, Ye Feng.
Their reason for inviting Ye Feng was simple. Now that they had expelled Kong Tianjian and crippled his Martial Arts, it wasn’t enough. They needed someone with weight to mediate on their behalf and persuade the Black Wolf Sect to leave the Kong Family alone. Even the Black Wolf Sect had to give face to the Martial Arts Association.
"President Ye, your presence truly brings glory to our humble Kong Family!" Kong Renyi had now reverted to a cunning businessman, all of his previous domineering and cold aura gone. He clasped his hands as a sign of respect.
But to Kong Renyi’s utter shock, Ye Feng completely ignored him, not even sparing him a glance. Instead, his gaze was fixed on Yang Qi.
"You must be Master Yang?" Ye Feng asked.
"I am not worthy of being called Master. My name is Yang Qi," Yang Qi replied.
"So it is you! My name is Ye Feng, President of the Jingnan Martial Arts Association. I’m a big fan of yours!" Ye Feng said excitedly.
The Kong Family members were mortified. The person they had just kicked out was Ye Feng’s idol? What was going on?
Kong Yu was stunned.
Old Master Kong was stunned.
Kong Renyi was also stunned.
They looked as if they had swallowed poison, pained and speechless.
Forget them, even Kong Tianjian was bewildered. He had no idea Yang Qi knew Ye Feng. This was the President of the Jingnan Martial Arts Association, an existence whose Combat Power was on par with Mitsuhide Kamishiro’s.
In truth, Yang Qi was just as confused. He absolutely did not recognize this person; he was a complete stranger.
"Master Yang, you may not know me, but I must thank you! That Life-saving Pill of yours saved my life!" Ye Feng exclaimed emotionally. "I was once severely injured and couldn’t recover for a long time. During that period, the Martial Arts Association was in chaos. Some people, like that idiot Jiang Tianfu, ran wild and damaged the association’s reputation. It was the Life-saving Pill you refined at the Elixir Medicine Conference that rescued me from my severe injuries. I owe my life to you!"
