My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 222: Cultivating Both Internal and External Skills
Yang Qi said coldly, "The factory’s land and equipment sabotage... that was all your doing, wasn’t it?"
"I did it," Qian Nanting replied coldly. "What exactly do you want?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
"Kid, don’t think a little martial arts skill makes you untouchable!" Zhu Yihang interjected. "We’re the vice presidents of the Kang City Business Alliance. If anything happens to us, the entire Kang City Business Alliance will come after you! When that happens, your friend’s Qifei Group will be forced to shut down as well! You’d better think this through!"
"Get lost!" Yang Qi slapped Zhu Yihang, sending him flying. "This has nothing to do with you. If you want to die, I don’t mind sending you on your way!"
Zhu Yihang was too scared to speak and scurried to hide at the side.
Yang Qi walked up to Qian Nanting, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him off the ground. "Those who kill will be killed in turn! You want to die? I’ll grant your wish!"
An icy chill instantly enveloped Qian Nanting’s body, and he trembled in fear. He had never imagined Yang Qi could be so terrifying. The very temperature in the air seemed to plummet, creating a truly suffocating feeling.
"Get everyone from your Qian Family out here! Gather them all in the courtyard. Otherwise, I’ll wash this place in blood!" Yang Qi ordered coldly.
"Okay!" Qian Nanting’s expression was grim. He hurriedly summoned all the members of the Qian Family to assemble in the courtyard.
Yang Qi stood before the crowd, still holding Qian Nanting by the neck, and said coldly, "That’s right, I killed Qian Sou. Why? Because he tried to kill me. It’s that simple.
"I believe in taking responsibility for one’s own actions, so I only took his life and spared the rest of the Qian Family. But unfortunately, you people don’t seem to appreciate it. This man, Qian Nanting, went to great lengths to have me killed, even hiring experts from Thunder City.
"So, you tell me, what should I do? Should I eradicate the problem, root and stem? Or should I just kill him and give the rest of you one more chance?"
"If you’ve got the guts, let me call Iron Heart over!" Qian Nanting said coldly. "Otherwise, I won’t be able to rest in peace, even in death!"
"Heh, really? Trying to taunt me into it?" Yang Qi laughed. "Fine! You’ve succeeded! I’ll wait for him."
He had to make an example of someone. If he defeated Iron Heart in front of these people and demonstrated his power, then the Qian Family would learn what fear was.
「Twenty minutes later.」
Iron Heart rushed back from outside. Seeing Iron Bone lying on the ground, he gasped and rushed over to check on him.
"Don’t worry, he’s not dead," Yang Qi said indifferently. "I took into account the difficulty of his martial arts cultivation and decided to spare his miserable life."
"You’re seeking death! How dare you harm my brother! I’ll make it so you can’t live, but you can’t die either!" Iron Heart roared.
Qian Nanting sneered. "Yang Qi, oh Yang Qi, you truly are a fool. Iron Heart is far stronger than Iron Bone. You could have used me as a hostage to threaten him, or you could have used his brother. But you didn’t. In the end, the only one who will fail is you, you idiot! You’re finished!"
"Heh! Do you really think so?" Yang Qi shook his head. "Hostages? I have no need for them."
"Iron Heart, kill him!" Qian Nanting roared.
"You don’t have to tell me. I was already planning to kill him!" Iron Heart stalked toward Yang Qi.
The man was a full two meters tall, dwarfing Yang Qi, who was only about 1.85 meters tall. Standing before Iron Heart, he seemed insignificant. An ordinary person would feel immense pressure in his presence; it was a truly unnerving sensation.
But a faint smile played on Yang Qi’s lips. "I spared your brother because I have no desire to make enemies of you two. I told him the same thing I’m telling you now: leave. I have no grudge against you, and I don’t want to fight."
"Hahaha!" Iron Heart roared with laughter. "Afraid, are you? Too bad. There are no do-overs in this world. I don’t know how you managed to harm my brother, but with your pathetic strength, it’s impossible that you defeated him in a fair fight!"
Yang Qi sighed. "If that’s what you believe, then let’s begin." He beckoned with his hand, standing there casually.
"Posturing fool! I’ll kill you!" Iron Heart roared, transforming into something like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus. With each step, the very ground trembled. The members of the Qian Family watched in shock. Can a human really cause something like this? This is terrifying!
He threw a single punch! His fist, like a great sledgehammer, smashed down toward Yang Qi.
Yang Qi’s brow furrowed slightly. Exerting a bit of force, he threw a punch in return.
BANG!
Their fists collided.
Iron Heart staggered back three or four steps. Yang Qi shook his own hand, feeling a slight numbness creep through it. Damn, this Iron Heart’s strength is terrifying. We’re both Second Rank Great Grandmasters, but his Combat Power could easily crush Iron Bone. Iron Bone was never this formidable when I faced him.
However, Iron Heart was the one who was truly shocked. "You actually forced me back! Now I’m starting to believe you really did defeat my brother!" His expression turned serious. Before, he had assumed Yang Qi used some sort of dirty trick to beat Iron Bone. But after this one exchange, he understood. He was wrong. Yang Qi’s power was more than enough to defeat Iron Bone; no schemes were necessary.
"Iron Heart, can you do it?" Seeing this, Qian Nanting grew afraid. He had never anticipated that Yang Qi would be so frighteningly powerful.
"Don’t worry!" Iron Heart took a deep breath. He suddenly unfastened the heavy lead weights bound to his waist, arms, and legs.
BANG!
BANG!
The lead weights slammed into the ground, caving it in.
Yang Qi’s expression turned grave as well. My god, he was fighting with those things on? Impressive!
Qian Nanting grew excited. So, Iron Heart hadn’t even been using his full strength. Now, freed from his restraints, this was the real Iron Heart.
"Iron Body!" Iron Heart roared, and his entire body suddenly turned a metallic black. From head to toe, his skin took on the appearance of forged steel.
A martial arts technique even more formidable than Stone Skin! Yang Qi grew excited. He loved crossing blows with experts; such encounters were the best way to ignite his fighting spirit.
"You’re quite knowledgeable," Iron Heart said, his voice booming. "Martial Arts are split into two paths. One is for Inner Strength, the other for Outer Skills. The former path is for cultivating Inner Strength, while the latter is for cultivating the body.
"My Iron Body is the perfect fusion of Inner Strength and Outer Skills. It can only be achieved when one’s Inner Strength cultivation has reached the Great Grandmaster realm and one’s Outer Skills have made the body Unbreakable.
"You are lucky to battle me. To see a true powerhouse before you die is also your good fortune!"
"Iron Body, huh? Interesting!" A layer of silver, scale-like armor enveloped Yang Qi’s body as he cast his Stone Armor Technique. It sounds like my Stone Armor Technique is inferior to his Iron Body, but how will they compare in an actual fight? Which is superior, a Spell or a Martial Arts technique? Today, Yang Qi intended to find out.
"Stone Skin?" Iron Heart paused for a moment. "So, you also pursue both internal and external cultivation. A pity. You are still no match for me!"
