My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 19: There’s a First Time for Everything

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: There’s a First Time for Everything

"Piss off, and mind your own business!" the assassin said, looking at Yang Qi coldly as he slowly approached.

"Yang Qi, thank you, but I can’t let you die for me!" Lin Qingxuan was moved that Yang Qi would stand in front of her.

But this time was different from facing Xiong Ba. Xiong Ba was just an ordinary thug, albeit a bit stronger than average. The assassin before them, however, radiated a dangerous aura.

She would rather die herself than let Yang Qi die. In the past, she would never have felt this way. But now, she found herself hopelessly in love with this man!

"You fool, I’m not going to die!" Yang Qi’s powerful hand shielded Lin Qingxuan behind him. He smiled and said, "He’s not stronger than me. Trust me, I’m not the same man I was yesterday!"

"You brat, I wasn’t going to kill you," the assassin growled, "but you’re really starting to piss me off!"

The assassin had intended to simply bypass Yang Qi and eliminate Lin Qingxuan directly, but now he was thoroughly annoyed.

Yang Qi actually said he was stronger than me? What a joke!

Lin Qingxuan was also surprised. Yang Qi was never the type to boast; he was always very humble. Why was he being so high-profile today?

"I can’t help it if you’re annoyed," Yang Qi said with a sigh. "I am indeed stronger than you. If you don’t believe me, you can try for yourself!"

To the assassin, this casual statement was incredibly grating.

So arrogant! So outrageous! Even Lin Qingxuan’s bodyguards were no match for me. How dare this nobody disregard me so openly?

"Yang Qi, don’t provoke him!" Lin Qingxuan clearly still didn’t believe Yang Qi possessed such strength. He was a medical genius, not a Martial Arts prodigy.

"It’s alright. I’m much stronger than him. There’s no way he can hurt me," Yang Qi said to Lin Qingxuan with a smile. "In fact, I’d rather he attack with his full power. Otherwise, I might not get a chance to properly test my own strength."

"AAAAARGH!" The assassin felt like he was about to explode with rage. He was unbelievably furious, absolutely seething, and utterly annoyed.

Lin Qingxuan’s cherry-red lips parted in disbelief.

Is Yang Qi naturally this aggravating? Why is he deliberately provoking the assassin? Oh, I see. He’s trying to draw the assassin’s attention so he won’t attack anyone else.

In truth, she was overthinking it. Yang Qi simply wanted to test his skills against this expert.

"Kid, since you’re so eager to die, I’ll oblige you," the assassin sneered. "It’s not too late to kill her after I’m done with you!"

He was absolutely certain of his victory. There was no one else around, and the location was remote. No help would be coming. He had already destroyed all their phones, cutting them off from the outside world.

"Hey, you’d better use your full strength," Yang Qi added. "I don’t want you to be defeated in a single blow. That would be no fun!"

Disgrace! An utter disgrace! The assassin felt completely humiliated by Yang Qi.

Defeat me in a single blow? Is that even possible? I’m no ordinary person. I’m a trained martial artist!

"DIE!"

The assassin erupted with a terrifying killing intent. He rarely unleashed such an aura on ordinary people because, in his eyes, they were no different from cats and dogs, easily slain. But this guy today had truly infuriated him. He was so angry he had completely lost his composure.

The next moment, he moved.

His speed was incredible. Like a cheetah, he was instantly in front of Yang Qi, his sharp dagger slicing directly toward Yang Qi’s neck. This was his signature move: a simple, effective neck slash. He had never once failed.

At that moment, Yang Qi stood there, stunned. He had just noticed a strange phenomenon: the assassin’s movements were incredibly slow, just like a slow-motion scene from a movie.

Hmph, all talk and no substance. Turns out he’s just worthless trash! Seeing Yang Qi frozen in place, the assassin sneered, confident of his success. The dagger drew closer and closer to Yang Qi’s neck.

"Be careful!" Lin Qingxuan cried out in panic. But she was helpless; she was just an ordinary person and couldn’t do anything to help. She had assumed their trip to Kang City would be safe, so she hadn’t brought anyone skilled in Martial Arts, only ordinary bodyguards. She was filled with regret.

However, the next moment, she was left speechless, utterly dumbfounded by what she saw. She even wondered if she was dreaming.

Just as the dagger was about to pierce Yang Qi’s skin, he finally moved.

One hand shot out and grabbed the assassin’s wrist, while his other leg kicked forward, striking the assassin squarely in the abdomen.

The assassin’s eyes went wide with shock as he was sent flying backward.

BANG! With a loud crash, the assassin smashed into the wall. To make matters worse, the dagger in his hand, driven by inertia, plunged directly into his own heart.

Yang Qi was startled. He had always been an ordinary person and had never killed anyone before. He never imagined his power would be so terrifying. He had only used fifty percent of his strength, yet it had been enough to severely injure the fearsome assassin. The force of the blow was so great that the man couldn’t even avoid his own weapon.

What if I had used my full strength? Would I have killed him instantly?

It’s over... it’s over! I didn’t want to kill him!

Although Yang Qi didn’t feel nauseous, he was terrified. It wasn’t easy for a normal person to suddenly come to terms with something like this.

Lin Qingxuan gasped, covering her mouth in shock. She was astonished. This Yang Qi was too incredible. Not only were his Medical Skills superb, but his fighting ability was also this exceptional. It was truly mind-boggling.

Assistant Qin and the others were also stunned. They had been certain Yang Qi was going to die. No one could have predicted this outcome.

"Miss, he’s stopped breathing!" a bodyguard reported after checking the man’s breath, shaking his head grimly.

"You all handle it," Lin Qingxuan said, appearing very calm, as if such incidents were a common occurrence for her. This world was far more complicated than most ordinary people imagined.

"Don’t worry, don’t worry," Lin Qingxuan said as she walked over, taking Yang Qi’s hand and letting him lean on her.

This intimate gesture stunned Assistant Qin and the bodyguards. This time, however, Assistant Qin said nothing. Yang Qi had just saved his life. What could he possibly say?

"I... I think I killed someone!" Yang Qi stammered, his voice filled with fear and horror.

"Don’t be afraid. I’m here. Nothing will happen," Lin Qingxuan said, stroking his hair comfortingly. "It was his fault. He deserved to die. You did nothing wrong!"

Despite being afraid of killing and filled with such terror, he still dared to stand up and protect her. This was the kind of man she could truly love.

Lin Qingxuan stayed with Yang Qi for a long time. Gradually, he recovered from the fear of his first kill, and his gaze grew firm and resolute.

He finally understood. He was no longer an ordinary person. He was now a Cultivator. In the future, he would inevitably encounter similar situations. This was a hurdle he had to overcome.

"Are you alright now?" Lin Qingxuan asked, sighing in relief as she felt Yang Qi’s emotions gradually stabilize.

Many people couldn’t recover for days after their first time doing something like this. Yang Qi’s mental fortitude was truly impressive.
