My husband Can Cultivate

"A Magic Artifact!"

The crowd was astonished upon seeing the Demon Sword in Gu Baiyun’s hand. It radiated a unique aura—this was clearly no ordinary weapon. It was definitely a Magic Artifact! Gripping the Demon Sword, Gu Baiyun was suddenly enveloped in a shroud of black qi, and his entire demeanor shifted. A cruel, cold smirk crept onto his lips as he thrust the sword forward. "Yang Qi, you deserve to die!"

The thrust unleashed a bizarre power, causing everyone around to back away in fear. Only Yang Qi stood his ground, seemingly unconcerned, a scornful smirk on his face.

"Gu Baiyun, I didn’t want to kill you," Yang Qi said coldly, "but you’ve made things difficult for me at every turn and even tried to kill me with this demonic thing. In that case, I can’t let you live!"

With that, he suddenly threw a punch. The explosive Fire Fist, burning with five different kinds of flames, shot forward and struck the Demon Sword.

"You brat! You dare meet my Demon Sword with your bare fist? You’re seeking death!" Gu Baiyun sneered, but in the next instant, his expression changed drastically.

The Demon Sword collided with Yang Qi’s fist. Searing flames instantly engulfed the entire blade and then surged toward Gu Baiyun along the sword’s length. Terrified, Gu Baiyun hastily threw the weapon away, but it was too late. The horrifying flames reached his arm, incinerating it to ash in an instant.

"AHHH—!"

A heart-wrenching scream tore from Gu Baiyun’s throat. He couldn’t believe that even while wielding the Demon Sword, he had been so easily wounded. He wasn’t the only one in disbelief; even True Master Wang was stunned. That Demon Sword was a Magic Artifact that even he struggled to control. Wielding it granted terrifying power, but it felt like your body was no longer your own, as if your very soul was being devoured. Yet, Yang Qi had so easily defeated such a horrifying weapon.

In the next moment, Yang Qi appeared before Gu Baiyun, grabbed him by the throat, and lifted him into the air. Gu Baiyun offered no resistance. Everyone around was utterly dumbfounded. Yang Qi’s strength was far beyond anyone’s expectations. They had all assumed the boss of the Star Shining Society would be the main event, but it was Yang Qi who had stolen the show. Gu Baiyun had been strong—a Third-Rank Overlord, made even stronger by an Elixir and the Demon Sword—yet he was easily defeated by Yang Qi. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it was true.

All eyes turned to True Master Wang. With Gu Baiyun defeated, True Master Wang was the one being publicly humiliated. If he didn’t intervene, his disciple would surely die.

True Master Wang moved. He vanished from his spot in an instant as a terrifying killing intent billowed out, flooding the area.

"Release my disciple, or I’ll leave you without an intact corpse!"

The horrifying roar was like that of a giant beast. Those with weaker Realms felt their blood churn uncomfortably. Some of those who knew no Martial Arts even vomited blood on the spot or fainted. He was simply too powerful, too terrifying!

A figure shot toward Yang Qi, moving so fast it looked like a mere afterimage. His opponent was incredibly fast, but Yang Qi wasn’t flustered. He had killed even Leng Xue, and this True Master Wang was clearly not on that level. Leng Xue was a true Overlord Peak. True Master Wang was not. However, he was likely stronger than True Master Yi Yang—a Seventh-Rank Perfection Overlord.

And Yang Qi was merely at the Third Layer of the Body Tempering Stage. At most, he could fight a Fifth-Rank Perfection Overlord. If he used the Green Emperor Body, he might be able to contend with a Sixth-Rank Perfection Overlord. But to deal with a Seventh-Rank Perfection Overlord without using the Immortal Gourd, his only option was the Bursting Qi Pill.

What a hassle! My Realm is still too low, after all.

Yang Qi had no time for further thought. His opponent had arrived, and the only thing he could do was shove Gu Baiyun in front of him as a shield while simultaneously conjuring the Cold Ice Chains to protect his body.

BANG!

Gu Baiyun’s body took the blow. Then, True Master Wang’s fearsome attack slammed into the Cold Ice Chains. The chains shattered on impact, but Yang Qi seized the opportunity to retreat, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. A Seventh-Rank Perfection Overlord was simply too strong. Facing such an opponent was a truly difficult position to be in.

"You dare kill my disciple? I’ll have your life!" True Master Wang was furious. His disciple, who possessed excellent talent not only in Medical Skills but also for immortal cultivation, was now dead. It was a reality he could not accept. With a sweep of his hands, he sent a massive fire serpent hurtling toward Yang Qi, leaving him with no choice but to retreat.

"Is that a Taoist Skill?"

"Yes, it’s a Taoist Skill from Penglai! True Master Wang really is an immortal."

"He’s too powerful. No matter how capable Yang Qi is, he can’t possibly be a match. I wonder if the boss of the Star Shining Society will step in."

"He has to, right? He can’t just watch his own man get killed."

"But what if even he is no match for True Master Wang?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, finding True Master Wang’s fighting style to be unique. It was vastly different from that of a typical Martial Artist. While he used his fists and feet, that was not his primary method; for the most part, he used Spells.

Yang Qi hadn’t let the poisonous spider intervene because he wanted to use True Master Wang’s pressure to achieve a breakthrough. True Master Wang was stronger than him, but not outrageously so like Leng Xue. Although Yang Qi was at a disadvantage, he wouldn’t be killed quickly. There was still a chance. Cultivators often achieved breakthroughs in adverse situations, especially when facing life-threatening danger. For that reason, Yang Qi wanted to give it a try.

While retreating, Yang Qi condensed two golden longswords in his hands and unleashed his Golden Thunder Slash. But that wasn’t the end of it. He was well aware that even this dual slash couldn’t stop the terrifying fire serpent. So, as he fell back, a series of earth spikes erupted from the ground along his path.

BOOM!

A terrifying roar sounded as the fire serpent engulfed the Golden Thunder Slash. The serpent continued onward, crashing through more than a dozen earth spikes before it was finally frozen solid by an icy aura and shattered.

Yang Qi took a deep breath. True Master Wang, while no Leng Xue, was certainly strong enough. His mastery of Spells made his fighting style strange, unpredictable, and genuinely difficult to counter. A single fire serpent had forced him into a desperate defense.

The guests frowned as they watched. If the formidable True Master Wang couldn’t even defeat Yang Qi after all this time, then wouldn’t he be even more outmatched by the boss of the Star Shining Society? Had they truly chosen the right side today? They feared they had made the wrong choice.

"True Master Wang, that young man is just a core member of the Star Shining Society," someone couldn’t help but call out. "If you can’t even kill him, how will you possibly stand against the society’s boss when he decides to act?"

Having watched Gu Baiyun be killed before their very eyes, they were worried. They had no desire to become the next sacrifice. What were they supposed to do?
