My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 215: The Powerful Duan Nantian

Qian Feng was stunned. He had hoped to make an easy three billion, but in the end, not a single penny was transferred. Instead, he found himself in a world of trouble. If a lawsuit were filed, their Kang City Machinery Factory might be forced to shut down. The resulting losses would be immeasurable.

"No, I have to talk to my cousin!" he thought, and hurriedly called Qian Nanting again to relay the news.

Qian Nanting was also taken aback, finding it hard to believe. He immediately used the Kang City Business Alliance’s network to investigate. Only then did he learn that Yang Qi had commissioned an equipment company from the Lei Mansion in the Provincial City to manufacture the equipment a whole month ago.

Is this Yang Qi some kind of prophet? This is just too absurd! For the first time, Qian Nanting truly felt how terrifying Yang Qi could be.

"Vice President, we can’t just sit here and wait to die," Fan Xiuran said, gritting her teeth. "The goods coming from the Provincial City have to pass through a section of the provincial highway. There are no residential areas there. It’s the perfect opportunity to strike. Let’s make our move!"

"Yes, Vice President, we can’t wait any longer! Otherwise, those guys will get what they want!" Zou Shengrong added anxiously.

"Fine! In for a penny, in for a pound!" Qian Nanting revealed a sinister smile. "This time, even if it means offending the Lei Mansion, this equipment must be destroyed!"

He immediately made a call. "Master Duan! I’m afraid we’ll have to trouble you to make a move this time!"

"Master Duan! Could it be Duan Nantian?" Fan Xiuran was startled. "He’s a veteran of murder and plunder, known to everyone in Jingnan Prefecture. He and his band of outlaws roam the mountains and forests, so elusive that even the officials can’t track them. He and his followers are all well-trained Martial Artists. Duan Nantian himself is a top-tier Martial Arts Grandmaster. He shares the name ’Nantian’ with Wang Nantian, but where Wang is righteous, Duan is evil. Their martial prowess is comparable!"

"That’s right, it’s him," Qian Nanting said through clenched teeth. "I spent tens of millions just to hire him. There can be no mistakes this time. In fact, I hope Yang Qi is there. It would be the perfect chance to eliminate him as well."

"With Master Duan on the job, Yang Qi is as good as dead!" Zou Shengrong and the others felt certain of their success. They were tragically unaware that Yang Qi had already wiped out the five Independents. If they had known, they would not have been so composed.

Meanwhile, Yang Qi had already arrived in the Provincial City, planning to personally escort the equipment. Since he anticipated that the Kang City Business Alliance would make a move, he decided to turn their plan against them. The Seventy-Two Wolves were also hidden within the convoy.

The next day, the convoy set out from the Provincial City. It traveled without incident until it entered the territory of Kang City. On a secluded, tree-lined stretch of the provincial highway, the convoy abruptly came to a halt. The road was blocked, an excavator parked sideways across the middle of it. On both sides, no fewer than a hundred men stood waiting.

Inside one of the vehicles, Li Qingyan’s face paled. She had feared this exact scenario, and now it was happening.

"Don’t worry. With us here, there won’t be any problems," said a bodyguard from the Lei Mansion. His considerable combat power was the source of his confidence.

Li Qingyan could sense their strength as well, and she finally let out a sigh of relief. Flanked by the two bodyguards from the Lei Mansion, she stepped out of the car.

"How should I address you, friend, and why are you blocking our path?" one of the Lei Mansion bodyguards asked, looking at Duan Nantian.

"Heh, judging by your attire, you must be from the Lei Mansion," Duan Nantian declared loudly. "My name is Duan Nantian. In Kang City, there are two ’Nantians,’ and I’m one of them. Scram if you don’t want to die. I have no desire to provoke the Lei Mansion, but I don’t fear you either!"

"Hmph, Duan Nantian, Duan Beitian, whatever. We’ve only heard of Wang Nantian," the Lei Mansion bodyguard said with a dismissive air. After all, back in Thunder City, they were considered experts. Coming to this small Kang City, why shouldn’t they be able to do as they please? A mere Duan Nantian was nothing to them.

Li Qingyan hurriedly stepped forward. "Gentlemen, we have no history of grievances with you. If you need money, I can provide it. I only hope you will clear the road and let us pass. We are all people of the Jianghu. Surely there’s no need to fight and kill over material things, right?"

"Hmph! Cut the crap!" Duan Nantian said coldly. "Leave the equipment and get out of here! Oh, and by the way, is there a man named Yang Qi among you? He stays too. The rest of you can leave! If you don’t, don’t blame us for what happens next. We’ll wipe every last one of you out!"

"Manager Li spoke to you politely, yet you are so insolent," a bodyguard from the Lei Mansion sneered as he stepped forward. "It seems you won’t learn what’s good for you until we teach you a lesson! I see you’re a Martial Artist, so let’s settle this with the methods of Martial Artists. Fight me!"

"A mere entry-level Martial Arts Grandmaster dares to act so arrogantly before me, Duan Nantian? I think you must be tired of living!" Duan Nantian chuckled, paying the bodyguard no mind.

Infuriated, the bodyguard flashed forward, lunging at Duan Nantian. He was a proud member of the Lei Mansion; how could he fear some backwoods Martial Artist?

However, in a single move, the Lei Mansion bodyguard was sent flying. He crashed hard against a truck. Though not dead, he was severely injured, and the entire vehicle shuddered from the terrifying impact.

"Second Brother!" the other bodyguard roared, his eyes fixed on Duan Nantian. "You dare harm my brother? I’ll kill you!"

"Hmph, what’s all the yelling for? I already gave you a chance, but you didn’t take it. The Lei Mansion may be powerful, but they haven’t managed to eliminate us all these years. How dare a couple of their lackeys bark at me? You’re next!" Duan Nantian snorted. His subordinates erupted in excited cheers.

Seething with rage, the second bodyguard charged directly at Duan Nantian. Whether he was a match for him or not, he couldn’t back down. Besides, he was indeed much stronger than his brother, managing to withstand more than a dozen of Duan Nantian’s moves.

As the two fought fiercely, surrounding stones shattered into dust, and tree branches crackled and snapped. Li Qingyan watched in utter shock.

Is this the combat power of a top-tier Martial Arts Grandmaster? She had indeed underestimated the heroes of this world. She had thought reaching the Innate Realm in her twenties was impressive enough. Now, witnessing a duel between Masters, she was truly humbled. No wonder her grandfather always said that above money and power, there was one other thing in this world: martial might! A true expert could, with a mere wave of their hand, make a powerful family serve them without question, or even cause a city or a nation to disappear entirely.

BANG!

At that moment, a figure was sent flying. He snapped a tree in two before hitting the ground, unable to get back up.

"Manager Li, run!" the bodyguard yelled with all his remaining strength. "We can’t handle this man! We’re finished this time!"

"Run? Where do you think you can go?" Duan Nantian sneered. "Since we’ve already started, there’s no need to hold back. Today, I’m taking the equipment, and I’m taking the people. All the men will be eliminated. The women stay. This is the price for disobeying and fighting me. I must make you all understand how I, Duan Nantian, earned my reputation!"
