My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 304 Barbaric Beast

At this moment, Yang Qi was as mighty as a dragon and fierce as a tiger, even more so than before. Although his Immortal Cultivation Realm was only at the Third Layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage, his Vajra Body Refining Technique had already reached the Sixth Level. In other words, his Martial Arts Realm had now reached the level of a Sixth Rank Great Grandmaster, which was more than just a notch above his Immortal Cultivation Realm. Furthermore, the Vajra Body Refining Technique had vastly improved his durability. Combined with the Stone Armor Technique, his defense was practically invincible among his peers.

Just as he was feeling pleased, an aura of danger suddenly assailed him.

Yang Qi glanced over indifferently. Someone had appeared outside the door—a person with a very ordinary appearance, the kind of man who would be indistinguishable in a crowd.

He was not Iron Heart.

He was not Iron Bone.

He was neither the Wolf King nor any of the Wolf Guards.

This was an Assassin!

A sharp dagger was already stabbing toward Yang Qi's chest. He thought about defending himself but then decided against it. A smirk curled at the corners of his mouth. I want to test just how tough my body has become. He didn't use the Stone Armor Technique because the assassin was merely a First Rank Great Grandmaster.

DING!

With a crisp ring like metal striking iron, the dagger seemed to have hit an iron plate.

The assassin was shocked and immediately turned to flee. His realm was inferior to Yang Qi's. Now that the assassination had failed, not escaping meant certain death. However, he couldn't escape.

Yang Qi clamped a hand over the assassin's mouth and forcefully removed the poison sac hidden between his teeth—a tool for suicide to prevent secrets from being divulged. Now, the assassin could no longer kill himself.

"Speak. Who sent you?" Yang Qi said coldly. "Tell me, and I'll give you a quick death. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"

"Heh, what does it matter if I tell you? You're about to die anyway. I was sent by the Cao Family of Jingnan Prefecture. You turned Cao Xingjian into a vegetable, and even Cao Xingyun has gone missing because of you. Family Head Cao Kun will be heading to Kang City soon. They're coming for your life!"

Instead of refusing, the assassin answered Yang Qi's question.

"Get lost. Go back and tell Cao Kun that I didn't kill Cao Xingjian! That strike couldn't possibly have turned him into a vegetable! As for Cao Xingyun, I've never seen him! If he dares to cause trouble in Kang City, I'll wipe him out!"

Yang Qi threw the assassin out. By then, the commotion had drawn Iron Heart and the others over. They had gone to the front yard of the enormous Kang River Mansion to avoid disturbing Yang Qi's cultivation, never expecting an assassin to show up.

"Damn it, I'll kill you!" Iron Heart roared, charging at the assassin.

"Let him go!" Yang Qi waved his hand. "He's just a hired tool; killing him is pointless. Besides, I need him to deliver a message."

The assassin left, and Yang Qi furrowed his brow. Cao Xingjian was alive when he'd let him go. How could he be as good as dead now?

"Wolf King, call Huang Borren. Have him investigate what happened with Cao Xingjian and find out who was with him last!" Yang Qi ordered. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Yes, sir!" The Wolf King turned and left.

Yang Qi tossed a piece of chewing gum into his mouth, contemplating what was to come. Cao Kun was coming. He was an unknown expert Yang Qi would soon have to face. Though not as terrifying as Thunder Lord, he was definitely not someone to be trifled with. Although his combat power had soared thanks to the Vajra Body Refining Technique, it was still better to keep a low profile. Still, he wasn't afraid of their arrival. If they come to Kang City, they'll be staying for good!

「At that time.」

Thunder City was already in an uproar. Of the two Cao Family sons who had gone to Kang City, one was now dead and the other had vanished without a trace. This was huge news. Cao Xingjian, in particular, was a Fourth Rank Great Grandmaster and the closed-door disciple of Thunder Lord. This had greatly enraged both the Thunder Sect and the Cao Family.

Unfortunately, Thunder Lord was currently out of town and couldn't return in time, so he had Cao Kun return to Thunder City first. Upon his return, Cao Kun immediately prepared to head to Kang City to seek justice for his two sons.

「Thunder City. Cao Family Courtyard.」

Cao Kun, dressed in plain clothes, sat on a sandalwood chair, sipping tea. A cold, murderous intent emanated from his face. He was the Family Head of the Cao Family and one of Thunder Lord's six top lieutenants. It was precisely because of Thunder Lord's patronage that the Cao Family had grown increasingly prosperous over the years, to the point where they were nearly on par with the Four Sects and Six Families.

Cao Kun was an incredibly powerful Sixth Rank Great Grandmaster. A Sixth Rank Great Grandmaster was already at the peak of the mid-stage of the Great Grandmaster realm, possessing formidable combat power. In Thunder City, there was a saying: when you encounter one of the six lieutenants, you either run or you die. This meant that one must never fight them head-on, or death was certain.

Cao Kun was the most cruel and bloodthirsty of the six lieutenants. Over the years, he had eliminated countless enemies for the Thunder Sect, his hands stained with blood. As Thunder Lord had grown older, he rarely took action himself. Essentially, the affairs of the Thunder Sect were all handled by his six lieutenants.

This time, both of his sons had met with tragedy. His second son, Cao Xingjian, was confirmed to be in a vegetative state and was currently in a hospital in Kang City. His third son, Cao Xingyun, was missing—no one knew if he was dead or alive, or who was responsible. This enraged Cao Kun. He was desperate to rush to Kang City at once and slaughter the culprit who had brought this calamity upon his sons.

"Family Head, everything is ready. We can head to Kang City immediately!" Cao Kun's assistant, Cao Kan, reported with a bow.

Cao Kan was not only an assistant but also an expert—a Fifth Rank Great Grandmaster, second only to Cao Kun.

CRACK!

Cao Kun suddenly crushed his teacup. "There's no rush," he said coldly. "Cao Kan, go to the Thunder Sect and bring me Barbaric Beast!"

Hearing this, Cao Kan's expression changed instantly. "Family Head, are you serious? Barbaric Beast is a madman!" Fear surfaced on his face.

"A madman is exactly what I want!" Cao Kun said coldly. "Go. I can control him."

"As you command!" Cao Kan turned and left.

Once an order was confirmed, it had to be carried out. However, the thought of Barbaric Beast's terrifying nature made Cao Kan tremble.

Barbaric Beast was a savage who had been raised on raw meat and blood since childhood. He had been taken in by Cao Kun, who taught him martial arts. Later, he was imprisoned by the Thunder Sect for killing one of its experts. One could say that more than half of Cao Kun's family enterprise had been built by this Barbaric Beast.

Barbaric Beast was not only a Fifth Rank Great Grandmaster but was also born with innate divine power. He could even take down a Sixth Rank Great Grandmaster. The key was his ferocity. He was fearless in the face of death, with incredibly tough skin and flesh. Even the other top lieutenants gave him a wide berth. In Thunder City, even a three-year-old child would stop crying at the mere mention of Barbaric Beast's name—out of pure fear.

This time, Cao Kun was going to Kang City for revenge and had chosen to bring Barbaric Beast with him. Clearly, he was planning to make a huge scene, which showed just how furious he truly was.

The Thunder Sect had to confirm the request repeatedly before they finally released Barbaric Beast. The moment he was free, Barbaric Beast killed his guard, leaving everyone speechless.

When the news got out, the entire Thunder City was filled with anxiety. With such a monster unleashed, everyone aside from the Four Sects and Six Families was likely on tenterhooks. It was only when they confirmed that Cao Kun was taking Barbaric Beast to Kang City that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They all knew this meant he was heading out for revenge.
