Anyone you care to name so long as it is not Macduff. It's easier to say that nobody can kill Macbeth except Macduff or someone else born by C-section. They are the only ones who can kill Macbeth.

Macbeth says "it cannot be ill" because he believes that as long as he is carrying out the murder of Duncan with determination and commitment, there is no reason for it to be viewed as wrong or evil. He convinces himself that ambition and power are driving forces that justify his actions.
