My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 188 Forbidden Technique

The one on the final floor of the Five Elements Tower was the Earth Independent. He was also the strongest of the five Independents, renowned as invincible! This was precisely why Liang Changshan had said Yang Qi could not possibly win.

At this moment, Yang Qi had reached the last floor. Looking at the Earth Independent before him, he smiled and said, "Surrender, and I can spare your life."

The Earth Independent, however, revealed a ferocious expression and said viciously, "You killed my four brothers. Even if you wanted to surrender, I wouldn’t give you the chance. Absolutely not!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of earthy yellow hard armor suddenly encased the Earth Independent’s entire body. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Look, that’s the Earth Independent’s most famous Stone Skin! He’s using his Inner Strength to channel the Power of Earth to form an invincible defense. It’s incredibly formidable."

"That’s right, I’ve heard of it too. The Earth Independent has never been defeated, at least not in a fight against someone of the same level. Once Stone Skin is activated, he becomes completely invincible."

"Yang Qi is going to lose after all!" Liang Changshan’s followers were still hoping for Yang Qi’s failure.

The battle had already begun. Yang Qi launched an attack as soon as he entered the fray, striking with his Alchemy Blade. The sharp attack attempted to pierce the Stone Skin, but all it left was a faint scratch.

He followed up with his Fire Fist Skill, but despite the rolling flames, the Earth Independent remained completely unharmed. The Ice Condensing Technique was also useless. Lacking sufficient ambient water vapor, the Earth Independent could simply shatter the layer of ice. Even the potent poison of the Green Emperor Body had no effect, as Stone Skin could withstand that as well.

Though Yang Qi attacked continuously and landed every hit, it was all meaningless. The Earth Independent remained completely unharmed.

At this moment, Ye Fei and the others grew tense again, while Liang Changshan became excited once more.

"Hahaha, do you see that? Do you see?! That’s the Earth Independent for you! The previous four combined are no match for him. That brat Yang Qi doesn’t stand a chance!" Liang Changshan roared with laughter, absolutely ecstatic. He thought the match was a definite loss, but he never expected the Earth Independent to turn the tide.

With a defense like that, he was simply invincible.

Yang Qi suddenly stopped his assault.

"Hahaha, have you given up, boy? You should. With your strength, it’s impossible to break my defense. Now, it’s my turn," the Earth Independent crowed, launching his own attack.

The Earth Independent wasn’t just strong defensively; every one of his attacks was tremendously powerful, causing the entire Five Elements Tower to shake continuously. Yang Qi could only keep retreating.

So that’s Stone Skin, huh? This Martial Arts technique isn’t bad. It can be transformed into an Immortal Cultivation spell.

Yang Qi smiled and suddenly released his Spiritual Power. It formed a layer of earthy yellow hard armor on his body, stylishly resembling a suit of armor. But more importantly, its defense was even more terrifying than Stone Skin.

I’ll call it the Stone Armor Technique.

The other four spells came from the Dragon God Technique, but this one was something Yang Qi comprehended from Stone Skin—his own way of stealing an enemy’s technique. Using the Stone Armor Technique slowed his speed, but it greatly increased his defense and strength.

He stopped retreating and suddenly threw a punch at the Earth Independent.

BOOM!

With a loud crack, the Earth Independent’s fist struck Yang Qi’s face. Ye Fei and Ye Qianqian both gasped. In the next moment, however, they realized that the Earth Independent had fared worse.

Yang Qi seemed completely unharmed. In contrast, his own fist had also struck the Earth Independent’s face. The man let out a miserable scream—his nose was bleeding.

For other Martial Artists, a bloody nose might not be a big deal, but for the Earth Independent, it was a different matter entirely. None of Yang Qi’s previous attacks had caused any damage, yet this single punch had drawn blood. It was clear to everyone that his defense had been broken—the first time he had taken any damage at all.

What followed was simple.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Yang Qi’s fists thundered out one after another. He completely ignored the Earth Independent’s own blows. The two traded punches, each blow landing squarely on the other’s body.

After a dozen rounds, the Earth Independent was already starting to stagger. Yang Qi, however, still wore a smile. "Liang Changshan, your Five Independents aren’t so great after all. It’s about time this one was defeated too."

Liang Changshan’s expression was horrendous. He had only been happy for a moment before the situation completely reversed. The supposedly unbeatable Earth Independent had lost to Yang Qi in both defense and strength. It was simply impossible. But the impossible had happened right before his eyes, and he had to believe it, whether he wanted to or not. This was too absurd.

Everyone stared in disbelief. The strongest of the Five Independents was being beaten helplessly. All five of them, completely defeated! It was outrageous.

"Liang Changshan, it’s all over. It’s time for you to fulfill your promise," Yang Qi said with a faint smile, looking toward the camera.

"Shut up! I haven’t lost yet!" the Earth Independent roared, getting to his feet once again.

His body began to undergo a bizarre transformation. His bones seemed to shatter, his hair stood on end, and most terrifyingly, his physique swelled, growing a size larger as his eyes turned blood-red.

"This is the forbidden secret technique—Berserk!"

"Berserk?"

"What is Berserk? I’ve only heard of going mad."

Many people didn’t understand Martial Arts, so they had no idea what was happening. They only saw the Earth Independent’s transformation and felt a sense of dread. However, those in the Martial Arts community were shocked.

Berserk was a lost forbidden technique of Martial Arts. Although it could temporarily enhance combat power, the damage it inflicted on the body was enormous. After using it, one might be left immobile, potentially bedridden for a month or two. If used for too long, it could even result in death. Moreover, it was rumored to be extremely difficult to learn; only a Martial Arts genius could master it.

Not only had the Earth Independent learned it, but he had also mastered it.

"The Earth Independent’s body is exceptionally tough. Only he could use a technique like the Frenzy Technique," people remarked.

"Still, Yang Qi is truly formidable for forcing the Earth Independent to this extent." The Martial Arts practitioners were starting to admire Yang Qi. It was a rare feat for a young man to push a supreme expert like the Earth Independent to such a degree.

This guy! Wolf King clenched his fists, feeling nervous for the first time. The Frenzy Technique was too terrifying.

Liang Changshan, however, started shouting frantically, "Earth Independent, just kill him! No matter what happens to you, the Liang Family will take care of you for life!"

The Earth Independent exhaled a ragged breath. He looked at Yang Qi and said, "You are very strong. Forcing me to use Berserk means that even if you die today, you can be proud. But now, you have no chance left."

"A very interesting forbidden technique," Yang Qi said with a smile.

For a Martial Artist, it’s forbidden, but what about for a Cultivator? Once the thought took root, he couldn’t suppress it. Martial Arts seems to be nothing more than a castrated version of Immortal Cultivation. Perhaps the Frenzy Technique could have some unexpected, miraculous effects for it.
