My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 573 Kong Erlengzi

Yang Qi was about to decline—after all, a man and a woman alone together wasn’t quite proper—but then his gaze followed Guo Yuxue’s finger to the room she indicated. In the darkness, a faint, cold gleam of light flashed.

Someone’s in there!

Yang Qi furrowed his brow and said, "Alright, let’s go up together."

"My daughter is in the hospital, and her grandmother is looking after her," Guo Yuxue said. "I have to go take over for her later, so I won’t be able to entertain you properly."

"Don’t worry about it."

Without another word, they quickly arrived at the apartment door, which Guo Yuxue proceeded to unlock as usual.

The instant she opened it, Yang Qi yanked her behind him. At that exact moment, the cold glint of a blade stabbed out from within the room.

Yang Qi dodged the attack and lashed out with a kick, striking a man squarely in the abdomen. The man flew backward and crashed into someone behind him, triggering a series of startled screams.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yang Qi concentrated Spiritual Power in his eyes, allowing him to see clearly. In the darkness stood more than a dozen men, all armed with sharp blades.

"What is it? What’s happening?" Guo Yuxue cried out, panicking, not yet having grasped the situation.

"Guo Yuxue, you bitch! You actually found help!" an angry roar erupted as the lights flicked on, revealing the men in the room.

She recognized three of them instantly. She would know them even if they were turned to ash; they were the scum who had caused her husband to be imprisoned for three years.

One of them had a scar on his face from a fountain pen, so deep the bone was visible.

"It’s them! They were the ones who tried to assault me that night! Lin Tao was only fighting to protect me!" Guo Yuxue shouted.

Yang Qi nodded, a cold, murderous intent creeping into his eyes as he surveyed the men.

The scarred man smirked. "Well, well, Guo Yuxue. Your husband has only been locked up for three years and you’re already cheating. On the surface, you act all pure and virtuous, like some saint, but you’re just a slut deep down."

"I’m not!" Guo Yuxue yelled.

"You brought a man home with you, and you’re still denying it?" the man said disdainfully. "Perfect. Tonight, we’ll let your new lover get a good look at how wild you can be. Hahahaha! I’d like to see what man comes to save you this time. We’ll finish what we started three years ago."

However, his voice cut off abruptly, as if a switch had been flipped. Yang Qi had seized him by the neck and was lifting him into the air as easily as if he were plucking a radish from the ground.

The man’s feet dangled above the floor as he struggled desperately, his face flushing crimson.

"Bastard! You dare touch Ninth Bro? You’re asking to die!"

One of the men charged at Yang Qi, a sharp dagger aimed at his ribs. Guo Yuxue screamed in terror, but in the next moment, she was left completely stunned.

Without so much as a glance, Yang Qi delivered a flying kick that sent the attacker soaring into the wall, where he crumpled and lay motionless.

Seeing Yang Qi’s ferocity, the others were visibly terrified.

Yang Qi slammed Old Nine hard onto the ground. The man spat up blood, his vision swam with stars, and he felt the bile rise in his throat.

Then, Yang Qi planted his foot on Old Nine’s face, grinding it down. "What was that you said? You want to finish what you started three years ago? So one person dying back then wasn’t enough for you? Are the three of you who are left eager to die as well?"

"You bastard! Do you have any idea who I am? You dare to touch me, Old Nine? You’re courting death!" Old Nine roared. "What are you all staring at? He’s just one bastard! Look how many of you there are! Are you scared of him? Beat him to death for me!"

Hearing his words, the others snapped out of their stupor. He’s right, there are so many of us. Why should we be afraid of one man?

With that, more than a dozen men charged at Yang Qi all at once.

Unfortunately for them, they were merely a dozen ordinary thugs. Yang Qi didn’t even bother to use his Spiritual Power. With a single flying kick, he sent the man in front sailing into a wall, where he collapsed without a sound.

Then the second man fell.

Then the third.

In the blink of an eye, all of them were on the ground. The lucky ones were groaning in pain; the rest were completely silent.

"Yang Qi, stop! Don’t kill them!" Guo Yuxue shouted frantically.

She wasn’t afraid for herself, but she was terrified that Yang Qi would end up like her husband, arrested and imprisoned. If that happened, her guilt would be immense.

"Don’t be afraid. This time is different," Yang Qi said with a reassuring smile.

"But this Old Nine works for Kong Er Lengzi, and Kong Er Lengzi is from the Kong Family! He’s notorious in East City!" Guo Yuxue said, her voice filled with worry. "You can’t afford to provoke them! You’re a decent person; they’re not like you!"

Yang Qi just laughed. "Three years ago, when Brother Tao was arrested, I wasn’t here, and you didn’t tell me, so I couldn’t help. But today, I, Yang Qi, have the power to protect you. Forget some Kong Er Lengzi. Even if the Kong Family Head, Kong Tianjian, showed up himself, he’d have to kneel before me!"

Old Nine sneered from the floor. "Kid, you’re truly clueless. You dare mock Kong Bro and even say you’ll make the Kong Family Head kneel? You must really have a death wish. If you’ve got the guts, let me call Kong Bro. If he doesn’t kill you today, I, Old Nine, will kill myself."

BANG!

Yang Qi stomped fiercely on Old Nine’s face again. "Cut the crap. If you have the balls, call your piece-of-shit Kong Bro. If he dares to stand up for you today, I dare to make sure he dies."

Old Nine was dumbfounded. Is there really someone who isn’t afraid of Kong Er Lengzi or the Kong Family? Where did this madman come from? Still, what kind of big shot could Guo Yuxue possibly know? He’s probably just another idiot like Lin Tao.

Gritting his teeth, Old Nine snarled, "You just wait. I’m calling Kong Bro right now!"

He pulled out his phone and, lying on the floor, made the call. A moment later, he hung up and glared at Yang Qi with vicious hatred. "You’re finished, kid! Kong Bro is on his way! If you kneel and kowtow to Ninth Bro right now and hand that woman Guo Yuxue over to me, I might just spare your life! Otherwise, you won’t be leaving here in one piece!"

"So noisy."

Yang Qi kicked him in the jaw, making him cry out in agony. "Alright, the call’s been made. Now, just kneel on the ground and wait. I’m eager to see if that Kong Er Lengzi of yours really dares to meddle in this."

"You’re signing your own death warrant! When Kong Bro gets here, you won’t even have a chance to beg for mercy!" Old Nine managed to say through the pain.

"You talk too much." Yang Qi strode over and slapped him across the face again, finally silencing him.

Yang Qi had annihilated the entire Tang Family of Sea City. That a few worthless street thugs dared to be so arrogant in front of him was proof they were truly sick of living.

The sounds of the fight had alarmed the neighbors, and hushed whispers spread through the building.

"Is that guy a lunatic? How dare he provoke Kong Er Lengzi?"

"He’s crazy, definitely crazy!"

"He’s a dead man once Kong Er Lengzi gets here. Stay inside, don’t get involved! Lock your doors!"
