Chapter 464

Otherwise, not only would the clan be implicated, but he himself would be dragged down as well...

However...

He had just sat cross-legged to circulate his energy and heal his injuries when, from afar, a series of sounds tearing through the air arrived!

A cold, eerie spiritual lock fixed onto Yang Qi.

Yang Qi's expression changed drastically!

Fast!

Too fast!

How much time had passed, yet these people had already caught up?

He was just about to leave, however...

"Heh heh, Yang Qi, where do you think you're running to? Hand over the Subduing Dragon Pill obediently, and I'll spare your life!" Just then, a voice rang out, and a soldier clad in black armor appeared before Yang Qi.

His gaze was cold, and surging from his body was the fluctuation of the fifth stage of the Violent Qi Realm.

He looked down on Yang Qi with a cold sneer.

"I..." Yang Qi opened his mouth, about to say something, however...

"Chi!"

That person stepped forward directly instead, slapping a palm onto Yang Qi's dantian.

"Pu!" Yang Qi's eyes bulged, instantly spitting a mouthful of fresh blood; he felt as though all strength in his body had been completely lost, while the Qi within him went haywire at that moment, finally vanishing entirely from inside his body!

"You... you've crippled my Qi cultivation!"

Yang Qi looked at the fellow before him, his face filled with ashen despair; he was truly hopeless.

He had cultivated for eighteen years, only to be crippled by this single palm strike.

The crucial point was...

Not only was his Qi cultivation crippled, but his dantian had also been destroyed.

From now on, he would never be able to cultivate again!

He was now a useless cripple!

"Heh heh, stealing the Subduing Dragon Pill; crippling your Qi cultivation is merely to reduce your sins!"

Speaking thus, that person immediately ordered: "Tie him up, inform the City Lord, and await the City Lord's judgment; do not disturb the scene, let the Yang family come over and have a good look!"

He looked at Yang Qi with a cold sneer.

Humiliation; this was absolutely immense humiliation!

Yang Qi wanted to resist, but with his Qi Sea broken and his dantian shattered, he was no match for these people; he could only be tied to the tree like this.

That person looked at Yang Qi, spoke no more, gathered his Qi, leaped away, and turned to head back into the city!

At the scene, only a few guards remained to keep watch.

At this moment, Yang Qi, tied to the tree with disheveled hair and a bitter smile, had a mouth full of fresh blood.

Crippled!

From now on, he was finished.

He was considered one of the geniuses; at seventeen or eighteen, he had already cultivated to the fourth stage and was on the verge of breaking through to the fifth!

In the future, there would surely be a greater stage for him!

But now, deceived by a woman, he had also had his Qi Sea and dantian crippled by someone else!

Heh heh...

His face was ashen, filled with despair!

"Rumble-rumble!"

At the same time, muffled thunder appeared in the firmament.

Dark clouds covered the sky, as if even Heaven could not bear to watch...

"Patter-patter..."

The next second, the pouring rain fell directly.

The guarding guards hurried to take shelter from the rain.

As for Yang Qi?

Who cared about Yang Qi?

So what if Yang Qi was soaked like a drowned rat?

Anyway, Yang Qi was already crippled!

At this moment, raindrops fell, soaking Yang Qi's clothes; rainwater slid down his face, making it impossible to distinguish tears from water!

"Rumble-rumble!" Countless Lei Ting erupted in the firmament, muffled thunder resounding for a thousand li, shaking people's hearts.

"This thunder is too loud!" one guard said, looking at the dark clouds and thunder with lingering fear!

"Rainy days are very normal!" another guard said.

When summer arrived, rain naturally increased.

Although today, the thunderstorm was exceptionally strange, and the thunder was especially abundant.

Arcs of electricity flashed, as if a bolt of lightning from the Suishidou Society was about to strike down at any moment!

"Crack!"

"Boom!"

However, just as they thought this, they saw a bolt of lightning from the firmament instantly strike an ancient tree!

"Crack!"

That ancient tree instantly exploded, and Xiong Xiong great fires immediately began to burn.

The two guards were startled.

"Hiding under a tree to get struck by lightning? Get out of here!" one guard said, hastily moving away from beneath the tree while casting a lingering, fearful glance at the ancient tree shattered by the lightning strike!

"What about that kid?"

At this moment, the other guard looked at Yang Qi and asked.

"Who cares? Even if he gets struck dead, it doesn't matter! He's a cripple anyway!" the other guard said with complete indifference.

However, the moment the words left his mouth...

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

From the firmament, an extremely brilliant bolt of lightning instantly crashed down, striking directly the tree to which Yang Qi was bound!

"Ugh..."

Yang Qi's eyes bulged; he felt as though his entire body was exploding, convulsing uncontrollably!

His whole body turned pitch black from burning!

The two guards exchanged bewildered glances...

Good heavens, he actually got struck by lightning?

"Go, go, go! Get farther away; don't let the blood splatter on us!" one guard said, quickly putting more distance between himself and the scene!

At this moment, Yang Qi's body continued to convulse...

Arcs of electricity swirled around him, as if tearing apart his very soul...

Am I dead?

If I am dead, so be it; at least I won't have to live half-dead, neither human nor ghost, only to be mocked!

Such were his thoughts!

But immediately afterward, he sensed something was amiss!

For although his body was charred black and ravaged by electric arcs, he was not dead...

Crucially, after the lightning entered his body, it transformed into a wild, violent force that surged through his muscles and meridians.

The lightning battered onward until, finally, it converged upon his shattered lower abdomen, at the site of his dantian!

The originally shattered dantian sea of qi underwent a strange transformation at this very moment.

Within the qi sea, spiraling currents resembled a terrifying, frenzied giant elephant, churning seas and overturning rivers!

That giant elephant trumpeted, roaring and stamping with awe-inspiring divine might, terrifying beyond measure!

Yang Qi watched helplessly as, from the depths of the lightning in the sky, a tiny golden figure seemed to fly into his brow, after which he completely lost consciousness!

The golden finger has arrived!
