My husband Can Cultivate

A mocking smile touched Yang Qi’s lips. In the next instant, he abruptly switched techniques.

Then, a tiger’s roar echoed.

"Five Elements Sword Art—White Tiger Thunder!"

A phantom of a White Tiger took form, wreathed in crackling lightning. The piercing sound tore across the battlefield. Terror emerged in Elder Wei’s eyes; he was starting to lose his composure. He, too, could feel the terrifying power of Yang Qi’s attack. This was the Five Elements Sword Art amplified by the Green Emperor Body. Its power was so immense that it could severely injure even Jiang Ran, let alone the current Elder Wei, who had not yet reached Jiang Ran’s level of strength.

"This is bad!"

Wei Lan, Zheng Yihang, and the others wore expressions of fear. The power of this strike far exceeded their imagination; it was simply too tyrannical. The roar of the White Tiger alone was enough to make their hearts tremble.

The sword’s radiance had yet to reach Elder Wei, but the air around it, compressed to its limit and transformed into Sword Qi, had already slammed into the terrifying black scales.

BOOM!

A scale instantly shattered, exposing a weak point. But only for a moment, as new scales quickly grew back to cover the weakness. However, that was merely the effect of the compressed air; the true radiance of the sword had yet to arrive.

Elder Wei tried to evade, only to find his feet had been bound by Cold Ice Chains without him noticing, making it impossible to dodge. Even if he shattered the Cold Ice Chains, it would be too late.

So, at this moment, all he could do was watch helplessly as Yang Qi’s sword thrust toward him, unable to do a thing.

SCHLICK!

Under the gazes of everyone present, the sword, carrying terrifying lightning and the sharpness of the Gold Element, pierced into the scales and then straight through Elder Wei’s body. Wild Sword Qi rampaged through his body, ravaging his internal organs.

Elder Wei was sent flying, blown away by the terrifying force. A deep sword wound was carved into his body, gushing blood.

Yet, he managed to stay on his feet.

He suddenly burst out laughing. "Hahaha! HAHAHAHA! You can’t kill me! You still can’t kill me! I now possess an Undying Body!"

Yang Qi had pierced his scales and penetrated his body, yet he could feel that he would live on, even if all his internal organs were destroyed. It was an utterly bizarre phenomenon, but it was real. Just a moment ago, Elder Wei had thought he was going to die. Now, he was more confident than ever that he wouldn’t. He possessed an Undying Body; not even Yang Qi could kill him.

"You really are resilient," Yang Qi said, frowning at Elder Wei.

Now that he’s become like this, are his vital points still the same? he pondered. Suddenly, he had a realization. Wait, the Gu Insect! At this point, his body has been almost entirely assimilated by the Gu Insect. Only his brain is still his own, and even that is gradually losing its sanity. Does that mean if I just get rid of that Gu Insect, he’ll fall apart instantly?

Thinking this, Yang Qi looked at Elder Wei and activated his Heavenly Eye without hesitation.

In that instant, the Heavenly Eye saw through Elder Wei’s body. And there it was. Yang Qi spotted the Gu Insect.

Next time, I’ll end this!

Yang Qi took a deep breath and shot forward like a fierce wind, attacking Elder Wei once again.

"It’s useless! You can’t kill me!" Elder Wei was brimming with confidence. He felt invincible, certain that no one could defeat him. He believed that as time went on, his body would approach perfection, allowing him to overpower Yang Qi.

"Is it really useless?"

Yang Qi smiled, having already closed the distance to Elder Wei. He thrust his sword forward.

"Five Elements Sword Technique·Xuanwu Ice Formation!"

The golden longsword in his hand transformed into crystal-clear ice. Instantly, a terrifying cold penetrated Elder Wei’s wound, delving ever deeper.

"Five Elements Sword Technique·Xuanwu Covering Water!"

The next moment, the ice transformed into flowing water. Yet, each stream was a lethally sharp water needle, like a sliver of Sword Qi, darting about inside Elder Wei’s body.

PFFT!

One of the water needles pierced the Gu Insect.

At that moment, the scales on Elder Wei’s body began to recede rapidly.

"You! You!"

Elder Wei trembled all over, becoming extremely weak in a flash. He pointed a trembling finger at Yang Qi, trying to speak, but the words wouldn’t come out.

With the death of the Gu Insect, Elder Wei’s life reached its end. The very moment he chose to use the Gu Insect, his fate had become irrevocably bound to it. With the Gu Insect dead, his own death was not far behind.

"Thank you... for freeing me."

Everyone expected Elder Wei to roar in fury or curse him, but no one could have predicted his words of gratitude.

"Father!" Wei Lan rushed over, only to find Elder Wei’s life force rapidly fading.

"Don’t... don’t seek revenge! The... the Gu King... the Gu King has a scheme!" Clutching Wei Lan’s collar, Elder Wei uttered his final words.

A moment ago, he had been fighting to avenge his grandson. Now, he wanted to protect the Wei Family.

As they looked at the deceased Elder Wei, the entire scene fell into a dead silence.

It took a long time for the Martial Artists from Sea City to process what had just happened. Elder Wei, one of the Three Kings of Sea City, had actually died at the hands of a twenty-five-year-old? Before this, they had never considered such a possibility, never imagined this outcome.

"Haha, we won!"

"We won!"

"Yang Qi, you’re incredible!"

The people from White Mountain Manor shouted in excitement. Today’s battle had been full of twists and turns. Elder Wei had nearly turned the tables at the very end. Fortunately, their boss was even more formidable.

"Boss, are you all right?" Ye Feng asked in a lowered voice.

Yang Qi shook his head. Aside from being exhausted, he was uninjured. But looking at Elder Wei, he felt something was strange.

The Gu King Elder Wei mentioned... who could that be? Is he talking about the Southern Wilderness Gu King, one of the Eight Kings of the World?

「Meanwhile, in a dim underground chamber somewhere in the Dragon Country...」

A shadowy figure suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face twisted into an ugly grimace.

"Damn it! Who?! Who ruined my plan?! My Gu cultivation plan was on the verge of success! My most reliable pawn, Elder Wei, was actually killed? Even the Gu Insect was destroyed? DAMN IT! Once I find out who did this, I’ll have them flayed and dismembered!"

The figure seethed with rage. All the painstaking effort poured into cultivating that Gu Insect had been for nothing. How could he not be furious?

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, the figure took a deep breath. "Fortunately, I have a backup plan, or everything would have been for naught. Southern Wilderness Gu King, just you wait. I am the true Gu King, and I will take back everything that belongs to me!"
