My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 223: I’m Different from You

"You’re strong," Yang Qi said, looking at Iron Heart. "I have to admit it."

Qian Nanting sneered. "It’s too late to realize that now. You’re not leaving here alive today! You will pay the price for your arrogance!"

Yang Qi chuckled. "I give him one compliment and you get all excited. A little praise really goes to your head. He is strong, but he picked the wrong opponent! And you, Qian Nanting, provoked the wrong person!"

"Yang Qi, stop flattering yourself!" Qian Nanting mocked. "Deep down, you’re scared to death, aren’t you? Let me tell you, putting on a brave face is useless."

In the distance, Zhu Yihang touched his face and snarled, "You dare hit me? When you’re a corpse, I’ll make sure to give your body a few good kicks!"

Yang Qi merely sneered in contempt. He leaped into the air, charging toward Iron Heart once more.

Iron Heart’s steel body gleamed with a metallic luster. With a roar, he threw both fists forward.

BOOM!

They clashed again, creating a violent gust of wind that blasted outward, even sending Qian Nanting flying.

"Hard enough. A body of steel indeed," Yang Qi remarked with a faint smile. This Iron Heart was definitely the strongest opponent he had faced to date, even more formidable than Ning Que.

"It’s too late to realize that now!" Iron Heart roared, lunging at Yang Qi. With his body of steel, he believed himself invincible. There was no need for defense; offense was all that mattered.

He stomped hard on the ground, causing it to instantly collapse. Iron Heart shot into the air, bringing his foot down on Yang Qi from above. Despite his large and sturdy frame, his speed was not the least bit slow, a testament to his explosive power.

"Heh, nicely done! Let’s see if my pure physical strength can stop you!"

Yang Qi’s body had been refined by the Body Tempering Pill. Moreover, a Cultivator’s physical strength increased with each layer of advancement. After all, the body was like a ferry and the soul its passenger. If the ferry was destroyed, the passenger would naturally sink. The physical form’s role was therefore immense.

BANG!

Yang Qi crossed his arms, blocking Iron Heart’s formidable strike.

CRACK!

The ground beneath him split open, and his body sank at least half a meter into the earth.

"Hahaha! Excellent! Grandmaster Iron Heart is truly terrifying! Do it again!" Qian Nanting shouted with excitement.

The members of the Qian Family were also thrilled. If Iron Heart were to lose today, their family’s prospects would be grim.

Iron Heart, however, frowned slightly. He could feel that even though his power was immense, it was like striking a solid iron pillar. Yang Qi had transferred the entire force into the ground, leaving him completely unharmed.

"Hahahaha! Truly impressive!" Though he was being suppressed, Yang Qi did not retreat. Instead, he burst out laughing. "Iron Heart, you cultivate both Inner Strength and Outer Skills, truly forging a path different from others. Admirable! Truly admirable! I’m actually reluctant to kill you!"

This Iron Heart was an absolute martial arts prodigy. He had managed to cultivate both his Inner Strength and Outer Skills to the Second Rank Great Grandmaster Realm. At this level, he was likely invincible among his peers. Even a Martial Artist one rank higher might not be his match.

"What are you laughing at?! Grandmaster Iron Heart, kill him for me!" Qian Nanting yelled, ecstatic. Yang Qi was clearly being overpowered, yet he was still acting so arrogant.

Iron Heart ignored Qian Nanting and looked at Yang Qi. "Speaking of talent, you are the terrifying one. You’re no older than twenty-five or twenty-six, yet you possess such fearsome combat power. From what I can tell, you’ve only just entered the Great Grandmaster Realm; you can’t even be considered a First Rank Great Grandmaster. And yet you’re this strong. You may leave. I will not kill you today."

"Grandmaster Iron Heart, you can’t let him go! If you do, he’ll kill me!" Qian Nanting shrieked.

"Enough nonsense. I took your money to protect you, not to be your personal assassin!" Iron Heart said coldly.

Qian Nanting fell silent, his face a mask of extreme displeasure.

Yang Qi slowly climbed out of the deep pit. He glanced at Iron Heart and said, "Thank you for the kind offer, but I must kill Qian Nanting today. You can either leave, or we can continue. But don’t worry, I will spare your life. After all, you seem like a decent person."

Iron Heart shook his head. "Kid, you don’t know what’s good for you. I don’t want to kill you, but you refuse my kindness. Since I took his money, I must see his protection through to the end. I won’t be holding back anymore!"

A terrifying aura erupted from him. The metallic sheen on Iron Heart’s body gleamed even brighter. Not only that, but two barbs, like short daggers, condensed over his hands. He was going for the kill.

"Die!"

With a roar, Iron Heart charged at Yang Qi like a mad bull. A sharp, cold light flashed from the blades on his arms, which could undoubtedly slice through stone with ease.

"Yes!" Qian Nanting screamed. In his eyes, there was no way Yang Qi could survive this attack.

Facing Iron Heart’s full-force attack, Yang Qi did not dare to be careless. He took a deep breath as a Golden Light flashed in his hand, manifesting a longsword that shimmered with a black luster.

Alchemy Blade!

"Time to end this," Yang Qi said with a smile, rushing forward to meet the charge.

CRACK! CRACK!

The blades on Iron Heart’s arms were sliced clean off. Yang Qi then spun and threw a punch.

Fire Fist Skill!

An explosion of flames filled the sky, and the terrifying heat sent everyone nearby flying. Iron Heart swung his fists, trying to block with all his might.

BOOM!

In an instant, the flames completely enveloped him.

Then, as dust and smoke billowed, a figure was sent flying backward. The body smashed through the courtyard wall before finally coming to a stop, crashing into the rubble.

Is Yang Qi dead? This was the fervent hope of Qian Nanting, Zhu Yihang, and the entire Qian Family.

However, when the dust settled, Yang Qi was revealed standing there, hands clasped behind his back. Across from him, Iron Heart lay in the ruins, spitting up a large mouthful of blood. Large parts of his body were severely burned, a truly tragic sight.

Impossible! This was the thought that ran through everyone’s mind. Just moments ago, Iron Heart had been overpowering Yang Qi. How had he been sent flying in the blink of an eye? And his injuries looked severe.

"You... you weren’t using your full strength!" Iron Heart stammered, unable to believe he had been defeated by a man in his mid-twenties.

"Not exactly," Yang Qi said, shaking his head. "I basically had to use my full strength to fight you. The thing is, you cultivate Martial Arts. I’m different—I walk another path. When our Realms are at a similar level, it’s impossible for you to be my opponent."

"Is that so...?" Iron Heart’s head slumped to the side as he lost consciousness.

"Grandmaster Iron Heart! Grandmaster Iron Heart, stop messing with me! Get up!" Qian Nanting rushed over, screaming in terror.

Suddenly, his expression twisted into a hideous grimace. He kicked Iron Heart’s body and cursed, "Useless! Absolutely useless! Some Great Grandmaster you are! You’re not worthy of the title! You useless, useless piece of trash!"
