My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 705: Chapter 705: From Despair to Hope!

"You scoundrels!"

Yang Qi exploded with anger. Even though Wu Rouyun has Martial Arts, the Twenty Blood Whips... how could these people actually do it? Have they gone mad? Are they even human? They’re worse than pigs and dogs! Even a vicious tiger won’t eat its own cubs, yet that old bastard Wu is worse than a wild beast.

A terrifying Killing Aura suddenly filled the air. In the next moment, Wolf King and the others around him felt as if their blood was about to freeze. The aura was dreadful. Realizing what was happening, Yang Qi quickly restrained his towering Killing Aura and said coldly, "Since I’ve acknowledged Aunt Yun, I will not allow anyone to harm her."

「Thunder City, Wu Family Private Estate.」

The Blood Whip had already been brought over from Sea City. Wu Rouyun was forcibly pushed to the ground, forced to her knees. All around her were numb, indifferent faces. There were those who felt pity and compassion, but they could only close their eyes and sigh. In the Wu Family, the faction led by Wu Heng and Wu Xing held absolute power under the old master’s support. They acted without fear, and everyone was terrified of them. Even though some people felt Wu Rouyun was in the right, they didn’t dare to agree with her, as the result could be suffering the same torture. It was a helpless situation. This was their reality. Wu Rouyun was just unlucky.

Members of Wu Heng and Wu Xing’s faction gathered around to watch, some even cracking melon seeds and eating candy as if it were a celebration.

Wu Heng stood there coldly, holding the Blood Whip. The whip was three meters long and entirely crimson—a color that came not from dye, but from bloodstains. A dreadful, murderous aura lingered on the Blood Whip, a testament to how many people had died miserably under its lashes.

"Brother, let me carry out the sentence," Wu Xing offered. Having been beaten by Yang Qi, Wu Xing now directed his hatred toward Wu Rouyun. He didn’t care that she was his own sister; he was going to lash her regardless.

"Very well." Wu Heng handed the Blood Whip to Wu Xing. It doesn’t matter who does it. The stronger the Combat Power, the greater the whip’s power. With Wu Xing’s Overlord Level Combat Power, twenty lashes will probably kill Wu Rouyun. In truth, Wu Heng didn’t care at all. Regarding the marriage with the Zheng Family, we can just send another woman from the Wu Family. So what if Wu Rouyun dies?

"How pitiful!" someone whispered, covering their eyes, unable to watch.

"Pitiful? What’s pitiful about this? All of you, keep your eyes wide open and watch!" Old Master Wu roared. "This is the consequence of betraying the family! It would have been a great honor for Yang Qi to sacrifice himself for the Wu Family, but this unfilial girl incited him to escape. Her crime is unforgivable! Wu Xing, begin!"

BOOM!

Just at that moment, the doors to the estate were blown open, slamming heavily onto the ground. A figure appeared in the doorway, his Killing Aura immense.

Wu Rouyun had already lost all hope. Today, even if I don’t die, I’ll be crippled. But I can’t accept this! I’m only thirty-two years old. I still have so many years to live. Why should I die like this? Killed by my own family... It’s so unfair!

However, as the doors were blasted open, Wu Xing froze, his movements halting for a moment. Everyone turned to look toward the entrance.

"Yang Qi!" Wu Xing cried out upon seeing him.

Wu Chuan trembled all over at the sight of Yang Qi.

Yang Qi strode forward and said coldly, "Wu Xing, it seems you chose to ignore my warning. I told you I would kill anyone who dared to lay a hand on my Aunt Yun. Are you looking to die?" He was utterly disappointed with this family, more so than he had ever been before. Is every major family this depraved? If so, he was truly lucky not to have been born into one.

"He’s Yang Qi?" the crowd murmured, stunned. It was only after hearing Wu Xing and Wu Chuan’s cries that they realized this young man who had suddenly appeared was, in fact, Yang Qi. Old Master Wu was also taken aback. He looked at Yang Qi and couldn’t help but frown. Good, kid. You’ve got some skill. No wonder you could injure Wu Xing. He was an expert himself, a top Fourth Rank Overlord. He could naturally tell that Yang Qi was no ordinary person. At the very least, he was a Third Rank Overlord. Although he wasn’t afraid, for a young man in his twenties to reach this Realm was terrifying. Such talent was simply horrifying.

"Little Qi, are you crazy? What are you doing here? You’re walking right into a trap!" Wu Rouyun exclaimed, her initial thrill quickly turning to panic. She was resigned to her own death, but she didn’t want Yang Qi to be sacrificed as well. She had risked her life to warn him precisely so he could escape.

"Aunt Yun, I told you, from this day on, you are my family. I won’t let you suffer any more injustice. Whoever dares to bully you, I will take their life!" Yang Qi said, looking at Wu Rouyun. His smile was as warm as a spring breeze, but his words were firm with rage.

"You two," Yang Qi continued, walking forward, "let go of my Aunt Yun. Are you looking to die?"

"Stop him!" Wu Xing shouted.

The two experts restraining Wu Rouyun stood up and rushed to confront Yang Qi, only to be suddenly grabbed by the throat by Wu Rouyun herself. Wu Rouyun was very strong. In the entire Wu Family, she was likely second only to Old Master Wu. Even Family Head Wu Heng might not be her match. She had always held back, not wanting to make enemies of her own family, but her submissiveness had only led to this tragic outcome. Today, for Yang Qi, she would fight. Even if it meant offending everyone in the Wu Family, she had to protect him.

"Nobody move!" Wu Rouyun shouted. "Let Yang Qi leave, and I’ll release these two. Otherwise, they won’t live to see another day."

"Did you see that? That Wu Rouyun, attacking her own family for some outsider! That bitch is disgusting!" a voice shouted from the crowd.

However, the moment the words left his mouth, his mouth filled with blood, his tongue seemingly severed. He screamed in horror, as if he were suffering some horrific torture.

Few people noticed the thin metal wire that Yang Qi had casually flicked. If you love gossiping so much, then you don’t need a tongue.

Seeing the man’s pitiful state, everyone gasped. They stared dumbfounded at Yang Qi, instinctively taking several steps back to put distance between themselves and this terrifying man. Is this Yang Qi a madman? Although most didn’t see how he did it, they knew he was responsible. Only he would stand up for Wu Rouyun. Only he would dare to make a move in front of so many people from the Wu Family. He’s insane!

"Yang Qi, you are far too arrogant!" Old Master Wu said venomously. "This is the Wu Family’s private estate! You’re seeking death by daring to injure my Wu family members here!"

"Heh, old thing, not killing him was already an act of mercy. A tongue is for speaking human words, not for spewing filth!" Yang Qi said, looking coolly at Old Master Wu. "Besides, I did injure him. What are you going to do about it, you old dog?"
