My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 698: Chapter 698 Immortal Bone

Leng Xue was surprised. Someone actually cultivated a Divine Skill like a Clone? How is that possible! Even I can’t do that! However, it was only a minor surprise. Yang Qi’s attack was too weak, his strength far too lacking. It couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

BOOM!

As his True Qi erupted, the Cold Ice Chains instantly shattered.

"Your technique is impressive, but it’s a pity your Realm is too low. Otherwise, you might have actually gotten the better of me today!" Leng Xue revealed a sinister smile. "Now, die!"

With that, he lunged with his sword.

"Space Transfer!"

At the critical moment, Yang Qi used the power of the Space Ancestor Dragon Stone, instantly appearing behind Leng Xue.

Now is my chance!

A smile touched Yang Qi’s lips as the power of the Immortal Gourd flooded his body. In that single instant, his Combat Power soared to a level comparable to an invincible Overlord. Then, he once again unleashed the Golden Thunder Slash.

Space movement? A magical ability. You must have some Treasure on you. Today, it shall be mine! What good is this pathetic attack? Shatter!

Leng Xue casually swung his sword, attempting to smash the Golden Thunder Slash as easily as before. The next moment, however, he froze. His Sword Qi was effortlessly sliced apart by the Golden Thunder Slash. Then, the terrifying, circular saw-like Sword Qi shot toward him.

Leng Xue had no time to think and hurriedly blocked with his short sword.

BOOM!

A terrifying power slammed into him from the Golden Thunder Slash. Leng Xue felt a force no weaker than his own strike his body, sending him flying. Blood seeped from his lips.

He was injured—the first to be wounded in their battle.

Before Leng Xue could even comprehend what had just happened, Yang Qi’s next attack arrived. This time, it was Metal Storm! Terrifying golden wings fused with lightning, spinning wildly to form a fearsome tempest that blasted toward Leng Xue, who had yet to get up from the ground.

Leng Xue was shocked. What is going on? Why did his Combat Power suddenly spike so much? Why?

He wasn’t just shocked anymore; he was becoming afraid. A moment ago, he had dismissed Poison Spider’s words, refusing to believe he could die at the hands of a mere nobody like Yang Qi. Now, however, he had no choice but to believe it, as everything seemed to be pointing toward Yang Qi’s victory.

"Damn it, block this!" Leng Xue roared, using every ounce of his strength to send out over a dozen slashes.

The sword light held back the Metal Storm, but only for a moment. The terrifying storm still swept over Leng Xue. While not a fatal blow, it tore off one of his arms.

The injury was severe. For an Assassin, a Martial Artist, losing an arm meant a drastic loss of combat power.

Escape!

At this moment, Leng Xue had only one thought: to flee from here. Yang Qi’s strength was abnormal—no, it was beyond abnormal. It was outrageously, absurdly powerful.

"Cold Ice Chains!"

How could Yang Qi let him escape? The Cold Ice Chains wrapped around Leng Xue once more. Leng Xue tried to shatter them as he had before, but this time he failed. After Yang Qi harnessed the power of the Immortal Gourd, the potency and durability of the Cold Ice Chains had skyrocketed. Naturally, Leng Xue could not break free.

He could only watch in horror as a terrifying chill spread up from his legs, threatening to freeze his entire body.

"Yang Qi, are you insane? Are you really going to kill me? Do you have any idea what the consequences will be? You’re a madman, an absolute madman!"

Leng Xue was terrified. For the first time, he felt true fear. He wondered if he would have been spared this fate had he just listened to Poison Spider.

Alas, it was too late.

The moment the Cold Ice Chains completely froze Leng Xue, Yang Qi attacked again. He only had three minutes and had to end this quickly, giving his opponent no chances.

The Golden Thunder Slash descended upon Leng Xue in an instant. This time, there was no escape.

"No—!"

A piercing scream echoed through the White Mountain Manor.

Leng Xue had fallen.

The Squad Leader of the Blood Lotus Sect’s Southern Territory branch. Ranked 100th on the Martial Arts Overlord List.

If word of this got out, who would possibly believe he had died just like that?

"Devour!"

At Yang Qi’s command, the Immortal Gourd instantly swallowed all of Leng Xue’s energy essence. His body was immediately devoid of spiritual nature. Yang Qi stepped forward and searched the corpse, finding a strange metal box. After a moment’s thought, he pocketed it.

Just then, the world began to spin, and he collapsed.

Damn, the aftereffects are even worse than I imagined. This isn’t just weakness; it’s a complete blackout.

「Meanwhile.」

At the Heavenly God Sect, the most powerful of the Hidden Sects, the atmosphere was rather oppressive today. To be precise, the atmosphere inside the conference room was oppressive.

Seated around a circular conference table were the heads of the Capital City’s ten great families, the Sect Master of the Blood Lotus Sect, and a group of high-ranking members from the Heavenly God Sect. A single word from any one of them could bring about earth-shattering changes. They were arguably the most powerful figures in the entire Dragon Country.

Among them was Lin Qingxuan’s grandfather, Lin Ruhai. Although Lin Ruhai was not the Family Head of the Lin Family, he was its true controller—the old master, the family’s backbone.

"Lin Ruhai, don’t tell me the Great Elder of the Heavenly God Sect has summoned us all here just to discuss the wedding between your granddaughter, Lin Qingxuan, and the Divine Son?" an old man chuckled. It was Di Jiang, the Family Head of the Di Family. While the old masters of other families had stepped down, Di Jiang still clung to his position as Family Head. It was unclear if he simply couldn’t find a suitable successor or if he was too fond of the power.

"The Divine Son is not even at the Heavenly God Sect. What wedding is there to discuss?" Lin Ruhai said coolly. "In my opinion, this is more likely about that Wu Rouman affair. Your Di Family was made a complete fool of by that woman back in the day. You still haven’t killed her? What are you keeping her around for?"

They were now trading barbs.

The marriage between Lin Qingxuan and the Divine Son was hardly something to be proud of, as everyone knew why the Divine Son wanted her. He intended to use her Extreme Yin Body for his cultivation, not because he genuinely liked her.

As for Wu Rouman, she was the source of a great scandal for the Di Family.

Years ago, the Di Family had found a child who possessed a Yang Body and an Immortal Bone—a special constitution rumored to be perfect for Immortal Cultivation. This child was meant to be given to the Heavenly God Sect for the Divine Son, so that his Immortal Bone could be extracted for cultivation. However, the child was spirited away by a Heavenly God Sect disciple named Wu Rouman, and their whereabouts remain unknown to this day.

The only reason Wu Rouman was still alive was so they could force her to reveal the boy’s location.

Even though the Divine Son was now in his twenties, possessing the Immortal Bone could grant him a complete rebirth. Therefore, the search for that child had to continue.
