My husband Can Cultivate

"You're quite disobedient, kid! But it doesn't matter. I'll take you to Thunder City for a proper questioning, and then you'll learn to behave!"

At that moment, Kong Renjian had closed the distance to Yang Qi, his right leg lashing out toward Yang Qi's own. The Powerful Energy he unleashed made the air howl. It was immensely powerful and utterly domineering. This single kick was guaranteed to break Yang Qi's leg. For a Seventh Rank Great Grandmaster, even an ordinary kick was more terrifying than the charge of an elephant. He didn't use his sword. Although his fame was built on his sword techniques, it seemed unnecessary against an ordinary person. Besides, he didn't want a dead body on his hands.

THUD!

Finally, Kong Renjian's kick landed on the back of Yang Qi's knee. A smile touched his lips as he anticipated the sound of a bone snapping, after which the kid would drop to his knees and beg for mercy.

In the next moment, however, his expression changed completely. He felt an unprecedented wave of agony. It didn't feel like he had kicked a person; it felt like he had kicked a pillar forged from solid steel. His opponent's leg didn't break. Instead, his own leg bone cracked, the pain causing him to grimace.

"Impossible!"

Kong Renjian was stunned. At the same time, a realization dawned on him. I underestimated him. The young man before me is no ordinary person. He's definitely an expert! Could he be the one who killed Mitsuhide Takeshi and Mitsuhide Qiang?

He instinctively recoiled, scrambling backward in a panic.

Yang Qi, however, just chewed his gum lazily. "What's the rush? That attack doesn't count. Since you underestimated me, I won't make a move. I'll let that one slide. You must be Kong Renjian from the Kong Family, right? Tell me who sent you, and I might just spare your life."

Fear flashed in Kong Renjian's eyes, but it was quickly overshadowed by rage. He realized he had been looked down upon. He, one of the three great masters of the Kong Family, an existence comparable to the Demon General and the Fire General, was being humiliated like this by a young man barely in his twenties.

"You're seeking death!"

Kong Renjian's sharp sword flew from its scabbard on his back, exuding a chilling light. He lunged forward, his body moving like a phantom as the edge of his sword swept toward Yang Qi's neck. He was satisfied with his attack. Logically, it should have been more than enough to cleanly slice open Yang Qi's throat.

But once again, he was disappointed.

Yang Qi simply extended two fingers. Like the legendary fingers of Lu Xiaofeng, they firmly clamped down on the blade, rendering it completely immobile.

"What a pity. Even after I gave you a free move, you're still so pathetic. I suppose this battle is over, then," Yang Qi said, looking at Kong Renjian with indifference.

Kong Renjian's heart sank into an abyss of despair and fear, his anger completely extinguished. The person before him was far more terrifying than he had ever imagined. This was not someone he could afford to provoke. Absolutely not.

Escape!

Kong Renjian's mind flashed with the images of Mitsuhide Takeshi and Mitsuhide Qiang before their deaths. But I don't want to die!

He retreated rapidly, desperately trying to get out of Yang Qi's attack range. Unfortunately, it was too late. Yang Qi flicked his wrist, sending the abandoned sword flying like a hidden weapon.

SLICE!

With a single strike, Kong Renjian screamed as his entire arm was severed from his body, the cut unbelievably clean.

"Kneel!"

The next moment, Yang Qi was upon him, his palm slapping down on Kong Renjian's shoulder. Kong Renjian fought the urge, but the immense force crushed him down, forcing him to his knees.

THUD!

With both knees on the ground, his face was a mask of terror. Only at this moment did Kong Renjian truly understand what it meant to be a master. In his opponent's eyes, a Martial Artist like him was utterly insignificant. He also realized something else. The boss of the Qifei Group… there is no boss. It's Yang Qi. He's the one who annihilated the Thunder Sect! He defeated Yagyu Kenkage! He killed Mitsuhide Takeshi and Mitsuhide Qiang! From the very beginning, there has only ever been this one expert.

Yet, he still found it unbelievable. This was just a twenty-five-year-old youth. How could he suddenly possess such unfathomable power? As he knelt there, he was overwhelmed by pain, humiliation, and terror.

"Alright, now talk. Who sent you? Tell me, and I'll let you live," Yang Qi said calmly. "Remember, you only get one chance."

"Ptui!" Kong Renjian spat defiantly.

"Forget it, then. Don't speak. I don't necessarily need to hear it from you," Yang Qi said with a slight smile, tapping a finger between Kong Renjian's eyebrows. A terrifying poison instantly spread throughout Kong Renjian's body, plunging him into unbearable agony.

"Save me! Save me! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!" Kong Renjian finally understood that this young man wasn't joking. His methods were simply divine.

"No need. I said you only had one chance. If you don't want to talk, so be it. I can guess it has something to do with the Hanfang Association anyway. Besides, they'll just send more people, won't they? I'll be waiting."

"You're insane! But you'll die! You'll follow me to the grave!" Knowing all hope was lost, Kong Renjian let out a savage roar. "They won't let you get away with this! They won't!"

"Do you really think dying is the end of it?" Yang Qi chuckled. "Have you ever heard of Cultivators?"

With that, Yang Qi bit his finger and drew a strange talisman on Kong Renjian's forehead. "Soul Searching Technique!"

Segment after segment of Kong Renjian's memories were stripped away.

So, all three brothers came. Yang Qi mused.

"No! No! NO—!" Kong Renjian screamed as he died, his eyes wide open in unending horror.

The Heavenly Dog Society, huh? From Kong Renjian's memories, Yang Qi learned not only that three people had come to Kang City, but also that the Kong Family took orders from the Heavenly Dog Society. And behind the Heavenly Dog Society was Kappa Country. A bunch of traitors. They deserve to be annihilated!

Yang Qi flicked a finger, and a small fireball shot out, reducing Kong Renjian's body to ashes.

However, the Heavenly Dog Society is more formidable than I anticipated. This will require careful planning. The society's president, Mitsuhide Kamishiro, is a being who has surpassed the Great Grandmaster realm. My current cultivation definitely isn't enough. I'll need to, at the very least, reach the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Layers one through three are the early phase of the Foundation Establishment Stage, layers four through six are the middle phase, and layers seven through nine are the late phase. Above them all is the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Time is tight! I have to hold these guys off first. I also need to raise my cultivation level as quickly as possible. The treasures left by the Thunder Sect are still missing. I wonder who took them.

Yang Qi felt a sense of urgency. After all, he was just one person. To face an entire organization, he had no choice but to get stronger.
