Two Ancestors, Please Stand Up for Me!
"I'm pushing you too far?"
Qi Tianji threw Su Fengxuan's severed arm to the ground and stomped it to a pulp. "Before I passed away, I warned you to treat the people of Pingyang District better. Did you do it?"
"How didn't I? Aren't they alive and well?" Su Fengxuan hesitated, then pointed at the poor.
"Ridiculous!"
Qi Tianji looked coldly at Su Fengxuan.
"Green Jade Hall squeezed the people dry with fake medicine. You didn't stand up for them, and you even split the proceeds with the Ye Family. You call that doing it?"
"You sold the whole of Pingyang District to the Xiao Clan in exchange for a place in the Divine Strategy Manor for your daughter. You call that doing it?"
"Now that Xiao Tianyang is dead, you've sealed tens of thousands of people in here to give the Xiao Clan a chance to vent their anger. You call that doing it?"
Qi Tianji's three questions in succession stirred up a storm.
"A place in the Divine Strategy Manor?"
Even Qi Lin had not known that the reason tens of thousands of poor people's homes had been demolished was a single place!
"The city lord wants us all dead? No wonder he wouldn't let Xiao Tao'er leave..."
The people all looked at Su Fengxuan in disbelief, then thought of Su Lianxi, whom they had respectfully called Fairy Su!
The truth was out!
"Your Su Family is even more hateful than the Xiao Clan!"
The eyes of the tens of thousands of poor people turned red.
They had trusted the city lord's manor so much!
And what had they gotten in return?
The city lord's manor had treated them like pigs and dogs!
Faced with those disappointed gazes, Su Fengxuan fell silent.
"Beast!"
"Hypocrite! Putting on a sanctimonious face!"
Listening to their curses, Su Fengxuan's expression grew colder and more severe. This was his true face.
"Su Fengxuan!" Qi Tianji fixed him with an icy gaze. "I told you, if you dared lay a hand on Pingyang District, I would break all four of your limbs. Have you anything to say now?"
"I do!"
Su Fengxuan looked up coldly and pointed at Qi Lin. "He has his grandfather backing him, but my Su Family has ancestors too. How could we let you run wild any longer?"
The moment his words fell, two shadows landed with a crash, appearing before him.
The two men's true essence was as powerful as the scorching sun. As it spilled outward, it took the form of a divine Golden Crow, spreading its wings to take flight!
Wherever their true essence surged, the surrounding temperature rose sharply.
They were Earth Yang Realm Fifth Level experts—the Earth Yang Golden Crow stage!
And two of them had come!
"Qi Tianji! You took advantage of the two of us being in seclusion to bully our clansman. If you hadn't 'died' early, how could you have lived to this day?"
The Su Family ancestor on the left had white hair and a youthful face, and was full of vigor.
To his right was an old woman whose true essence was likewise as powerful as the scorching sun.
"Two ancestors, please stand up for me!"
Su Fengxuan hid behind them, looking every bit like a dog relying on its master's power.
"The Su Family's two ancestors have been the pillars of Mystic City for a hundred years!"
Many of Mystic City's experts and the city guards, who had been stifled for so long, finally showed their delight at the sight.
One after another, they looked coldly at Qi Tianji and his grandson, taking pleasure in their misfortune.
"True essence like a Golden Crow. Given time, you could soar through the heavens?"
Qi Tianji looked at the two Su Family ancestors and asked the question mildly.
"Too late to be afraid now!"
The two Su Family ancestors' faces were venomous. Both Earth Yang Golden Crow experts spread the wings of their true essence and charged at Qi Tianji from opposite sides!
"Ancestors, break his limbs first." Su Fengxuan clutched the wound where his arm had been severed, his face growing even more ferocious.
"Heh."
At the center of the battlefield, Qi Tianji suddenly chuckled and shook his head helplessly.
"It does feel good to use your power to bully others. But everyone runs into an iron wall sooner or later."
In the end, it came down to whose iron wall was harder.
He looked at the two Su Family ancestors with a half-smile, the smile gradually disappearing from his lips.
The next instant, he clenched his hand into a fist!
Around him, streams of black and white Qi gathered like two divine dragons, one black and one white, coiling around his fist!
Boom!
Qi Tianji unleashed a punch. Heaven and earth thundered in an instant, and countless explosions of Qi within a three-li radius were deafening!
As the punch struck, two dragons of swirling black and white Qi burst forth. His fist was like a blue dragon emerging from its cave, striking the two charging Su Family ancestors with overwhelming might.
"Heavenly Dominion!!"
The two Su Family ancestors' expressions abruptly contorted, and they let out shrill, agonized screams.
Hum!
The single punch reduced both of them to dust!
Whoosh!
The divine might of the punch rippled outward, and a great cloud of powdered remains blasted into Su Fengxuan's face, filling his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose with the remains of his ancestors.
"Hah, hah-"
Su Fengxuan gulped for breath, and uncontrollable sobs of terror poured from his mouth!
"A Heavenly Dominion Realm expert! He's at the Heavenly Dominion Realm!"
Fresh tears of terror filled the creases of Su Fengxuan's contorted face.
He could never have dreamed that a dilapidated ancestral hall would hide a Heavenly Dominion expert powerful enough to safeguard a clan in the Great Cang Kingdom!
"Two ancestors..."
When the two ancestors who had held the fort for the Su Family and kept the whole city in awe were reduced to dust, Su Fengxuan finally understood: his Su Family was finished.
His pledge of allegiance had landed him in the crematorium!
He had spent his whole life walking on thin ice, only to make one wrong move at this moment. However unwilling he was to accept it, Su Fengxuan could only curse at the heavens: "Qi Tianji, neither you nor your grandson will die a good death!"
"Don't make your curses so nasty. I haven't planned to kill you yet."
Qi Tianji abruptly appeared beside him.
His hand was a blade as sharp as any real one. Like a sharp blade cutting through tangled hemp, it severed all three of Su Fengxuan's remaining limbs!
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Su Fengxuan's arms and legs flew through the air!
Reduced to a human swine, he crashed to the ground at Qi Tianji's feet with a thud, blood flowing in rivers.
"Old Yang's hands and feet have been reattached, while you, the one who started it all, have lost every limb. That's what you call karmic retribution."
Qi Tianji held the Heavenly Secrets Divine Calculation Flag as he spoke down to him. At this moment, he truly had the bearing of someone who had seen through the secrets of heaven!
"You might as well kill me outright!" Su Fengxuan cried with a snarl.
"Didn't you want to see the Universal Salvation Chamber of Commerce and the Divine Capital Xiao Clan come and wipe out my grandson and me?" Qi Tianji looked toward the Divine Capital and smiled faintly. "Uncle Qi is a generous man. I've reserved you a seat in the audience! Remember to sweep the entrance to your city lord's manor clean. There'll be quite a few heads from the Divine Capital on display there later."
"Arrogant! Ignorant!" Su Fengxuan laughed.
Qi Tianji ignored him and turned to face the massed ranks of city guards, as well as the many people lurking in the shadows.
His face turned cold, and his voice rang out like a great bell!
"Tell the Xiao Clan! Xiao Tianyang—I killed him! The old man is right here in my Qi Clan's ancestral hall, and I'm not going anywhere! Tell them to come if they dare. If one comes, I'll kill one; if two come, I'll kill the pair!"
His words were deafening, making the eardrums of the people in the night feel ready to burst. They were deeply awed by his domineering presence.
"One more thing! Mark my words: Pingyang District is the blood and sweat of generations of its people. With me, Qi Tianji, standing guard, the Xiao Clan can forget about taking even a pebble!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
His words swept over them like a torrent, leaving the night utterly silent.
"Haha..." Su Fengxuan kept laughing.
"What the hell are you laughing at?!" Qi Tianji spat on him and kicked him, then chuckled. "The children you sired are rotten to the core too. You can do without that fifth limb as well. Might as well make you a nice round body."
Su Fengxuan convulsed in pain, unable even to pass out.
"Grandpa..."
Qi Lin was shocked today too.
He had guessed that his grandfather had some ability, but he had not expected him to be a Heavenly Dominion expert!
In the Great Cang Kingdom, that definitely put him among the grandmasters!
"Spicy balls! I finally have someone backing me!"
Qi Lin was so excited that he had even picked up the little black beast's catchphrase.
He was just about to head over to Qi Tianji.
But then-
"I'm talking to you. Su Lianxi, right? Come here!"
Qi Tianji called out toward someone not far away. "Your father's twitching like a spinning top in front of me. Hurry up and carry him home."
