Chapter 706: 706
"Insolence!"
"Yang Qi, you’re courting death!"
"If we let you leave here in one piece today, then the Wu Family is truly useless!"
Hearing the way Yang Qi addressed Elder Wu, all the members of the Wu Family were enraged. They roared furiously, but it was all bark and no bite; they were full of bluster, yet not a single person actually made a move.
"A bunch of useless dogs that only know how to bark! If you have the guts, then make a move instead of just yapping over there. What are you, a pack of poodles?" Yang Qi said disdainfully. As he spoke, he had already walked up to Wu Rouyun.
With one punch each, he sent the two Wu family members she was holding hostage flying.
"Aunt Yun, have you gotten a clear look at the true character of this family today? The real culprits are the ones holding the Blood Whip and enforcing family law, while you, the true benefactor of the Wu Family, are being held down to face punishment. How utterly absurd! How laughable!" Yang Qi sighed. "It’s best to leave a family like this as soon as possible. It’s nothing but a pool of stagnant water!"
"Insolence! Utter insolence! Yang Qi, I am your maternal grandfather! How can you be so rude to an elder!" Elder Wu trembled all over, roaring incessantly.
He wanted to strike, but he was afraid of provoking retaliation from the Star Shining Society. He was truly conflicted right now.
The incidents with the Tianhai Association and Sea City’s Tang Family had genuinely terrified him.
"Grandfather? You think you’re worthy of that title?" Yang Qi glanced at Elder Wu with contempt. "Just for bullying Aunt Yun and for trying to send me to my death! For these two reasons alone, you only deserve to be called Old Dog Wu!"
"You! You... If it weren’t for the Star Shining Society, I would kill you right now, you disgraceful descendant!" Elder Wu was so furious his blood pressure was about to spike.
Although Yang Qi was speaking the truth, having it said out loud was incredibly humiliating. If word of this got out, his Wu Family of Sea City wouldn’t know how to face the world. They would likely become the laughingstock of the major families.
"Heh, and here I thought the Wu Family of Sea City was so impressive. Turns out you’re afraid of the Star Shining Society too," Yang Qi said sarcastically.
"Yang Qi, shut your mouth and step aside! We’ll deal with you later. The Wu Family’s upper echelon has already passed judgment. Wu Rouyun has committed a grave crime and must be punished," Wu Heng bellowed.
"A grave crime? Graver than the crimes committed by your precious son?" Yang Qi looked at Wu Heng mockingly. "Your precious son, Wu Jun, first provoked the Qifei Group for no reason, then he foolishly provoked the Star Shining Society. Those are the true capital offenses that could bring annihilation upon the Wu Family, to say nothing of all the other filthy, illegal things he’s done. I can’t even be bothered to list them.
"And then there’s Wu Xing. Wasn’t he the one who offended the Black Evil Sect? That arrogant fool schemed against them but didn’t have the courage to take responsibility, forcing the entire family to take the risk for him.
"What a disgrace!
"If we’re talking about grave crimes, Wu Xing is the one who should be punished!"
With that, he suddenly snatched the Blood Whip from Wu Xing’s hand. He toyed with it for a moment, remarking, "This whip is well-made. It must be crafted from the bones of a ferocious beast. And they even added barbs. Quite ruthless. How about I test its power?"
Hearing this, Wu Xing’s face went pale. "You madman, what are you doing! If you dare touch me, you’re finished! Everyone around you will suffer!"
Yang Qi frowned. "You still dare to threaten me?"
WHACK!
Suddenly, Yang Qi swung the whip, striking Wu Xing hard.
"AAARGH—!"
Wu Xing let out a hysterical shriek. He felt as if his bones had been shattered, the single strike splitting his skin and flesh open.
"What are you doing? Have you gone mad? Stop it!" the members of the Wu Family roared.
WHACK!
Yang Qi ignored them, lashing Wu Xing a second time.
Wu Xing had just tried to flee when he was beaten to the ground. Deep, bloody welts were clearly visible even through his clothes. The sight was hair-raising.
"Save me! Dad, save me!"
Wu Xing felt like he was going to die. This was only the second lash, and he already couldn’t bear it.
"Stop!" Wu Heng roared, lunging at Yang Qi.
Wu Rouyun, however, was completely stunned. Watching Yang Qi beat Wu Xing, she felt a strange sense of exhilaration. Throughout the years, from childhood to the present, both Wu Heng and Wu Xing had constantly bullied and beaten her. Every single time, it had been her older sister, Wu Rouman, who had stepped forward to protect her and share the punishment.
"Get lost!" Yang Qi roared, suddenly deciding to try the Great Curse Technique.
Just as Wu Heng was charging, he stumbled and fell flat on his face, covering himself in dust.
It actually works! This feeling is incredible.
WHACK!
The third lash struck home.
Only now did Wu Xing understand how terrifying the Blood Whip was. Twenty lashes would have surely killed Wu Rouyun. He had only taken three, but he already felt like he was dying!
Pain! Unbearable pain!
At that moment, fear consumed his entire being.
WHACK!
WHACK!
By the tenth lash, Wu Xing was already half-dead.
Seeing that Wu Heng had been unable to rescue his son, Elder Wu finally grew anxious and lunged at Yang Qi himself.
"Enough!" he roared, trying to blast Yang Qi away with his palm.
Yang Qi just chuckled, deftly dodging the elder’s attack before cracking the whip once more.
A bizarre scene unfolded. Elder Wu kept attacking Yang Qi but could never land a blow. Although the elder seemed stronger, Yang Qi was as slippery as an eel, always managing to evade his attacks.
And so, it reached twenty lashes.
By now, Wu Xing could no longer even scream. His body just twitched uncontrollably, as if he were on the verge of death.
He wasn’t actually dead.
But he was ruined.
His internal organs were all injured, and his meridians were completely severed. His martial arts were gone. He himself was crippled. He would never recover in this lifetime and would be confined to a wheelchair forever.
"Heh, this Blood Whip really is powerful. To think it could cripple an Overlord Level master so easily. If it had been used on Aunt Yun, I can’t even imagine the outcome," Yang Qi sneered.
While Elder Wu was checking on Wu Xing’s condition, Yang Qi suddenly flexed his right hand.
The Blood Whip shattered into dust!
What!
At that moment, a deathly silence fell over the area.
Everyone was dumbstruck.
The Blood Whip... was broken? Was the soul of the Wu Family broken?
It was well-known that the Blood Whip was the Wu Family’s equivalent to the Beggar Gang’s Dog Beating Stick. It had been passed down for over a hundred years, ever since the first Family Head, and now it had just been destroyed by an outsider?
Every member of the Wu Family felt as if their spine had been ripped out. Their bodies went limp, and their spirits drained away.
This was even worse than someone dancing on the Wu Family’s ancestral graves.
Everyone from the Wu Family, including Elder Wu himself, fell to their knees. Their faces were deathly pale, their eyes wide with terror.
It’s over... Even in death, we’ll never be able to face our ancestors!
