Chapter 1997 - 2000: If You Want to Kill My Boss, Go Ahead and Try!
"What a powerful aura!" Just as the Abyss Prince's eyes lit up, his expression immediately turned excited: "Shen Qiang, do you really not want to flee right away?"Upon hearing this, the beautiful eyes of the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, Ye Guyun, and the petite, exquisite Gu Hunter with snow-white ankles adorned with a delicate anklet fixed firmly upon Shen Qiang.
"The difference between a man and a boy lies in the fact that a man is accustomed to not causing trouble for others. If you want to seek me out, then I'll accompany you in battle. Letting those around me suffer on my behalf—such tasteless behavior, I, Shen Qiang, will not resort to. So, if you want to fight, then let's fight!"
Gazing into Shen Qiang's golden eyes, which held a faint arrogance, and listening to his resolute reply.
The graceful Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu not only felt comforted to look upon but also had her charming face slightly blushing.
"This naughty fellow, usually clever like a sprite, now being so stubborn. He's refusing to leave because he's worried about us, isn't he?"
The delightful and charming Ye Guyun also revealed a smile: "Hmph, my king is not one to be scared off!"
While beside them, the petite and delicate girl with snow-white ankles adorned with a delicate anklet also showed joyous surprise in her beautiful eyes.
"Is this the man my master said was destined for me? What a masculine aura! In such a predicament, seizing the chance to escape and seeking revenge later would be the best choice. Knowing he is unmatched, yet absolutely unwilling to back down, such a man is like a long spear, sharp and dangerous, yet inexplicably attracting attention."
Meanwhile, on a ridge a kilometer away, the Medicine King Valley Master's uncle-master, the breathtaking school beauty Qin Yurou's master, was watching Shen Qiang with admiration while accompanied by two from the Medicine King Valley.
"People always find all kinds of excuses for themselves, 'A gentleman's revenge is never too late' and 'As long as the green hills remain, there's never a worry about firewood.' After saying such phrases too often, what actually waits for them is merely endurance. Shen Qiang is impressive, someone who can refine Immortal Pills is unparalleled across generations."
"After hearing his words, I understand that he's not only astoundingly talented but also a man of responsibility. Qin Yurou with him can rest easy."
The others couldn't help but nod.
"That's right, Yurou, this child, is extraordinarily gifted and beautiful as a flower. Previously, there was some concern that Shen Qiang only knew Alchemy and might be lacking in other areas. Now, seeing his conduct, it is fairly prudent, and he indeed has a sense of responsibility, making him the indisputable choice."
"Let's go help him!",
Upon hearing the words of the two, Qin Yurou's master shook his head, saying: "The greatest pillar of support in the world is yourself. If you're not strong enough, then find a way to become stronger. Relying on others for assistance, one can never become a true powerhouse."
"Moreover, with the cycle of Heavenly Dao, a drink and a peck are predetermined. If he dies in battle here, it merely means he and Yurou are deeply in love but shallow in destiny."
"Do you mean to leave things be?" one person hesitated.
Qin Yurou's master raised an eyebrow: "We are nearing our life's end, can help him once but can't do it a second time. Those unable to survive independently in the Cultivation World have no right to be with Yurou."
The other two sighed and subsequently fell silent.
Boom!
A wave of the left hand.
The terrifyingly powerful Evil Spirit Yuwen Hu manifested.
A flick of the right hand, and the Black Blade Youying, shining with moonlight silver gleam, was in hand.
At this moment, not only was the aura emanating from Shen Qiang shockingly powerful, completely not inferior to those at the Dao Fruit Stage cultivation level, but the morale of those around him was also instantly uplifted.
"Ah hahahaha! This is how it should be! Come, battle! It proves I picked the right person!" The burly swordsman looked excitedly grim,.
Simultaneously, the Abyss Prince's eyes also gleamed with excitement while looking at the battle-ready Shen Qiang, feeling not only thrilled but also laughing wildly: "Good, good, I've been lonely for too long, Shen Qiang, you make my blood boil! Come, I'll show you my artistry!"
"Netherworld Sword, Illusion Feather Thousand Kills!"
As soon as the Abyss Prince finished speaking.
One of the Dao Fruit Stage cultivators beside him had already made their move,
In an instant, innumerable flying swords swooped down like locusts. Not only were they astonishingly dense, but the terrifying True Yuan above the Dao Fruit Stage seemed to merge with nature's spiritual energy, giving everyone the feeling that it was utterly unavoidable. At that moment, the overwhelming swarm of flying swords crushed the space between the two sides, so much that even the view seemed to distort suddenly.
"Be careful!"
The graceful Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu firmly positioned herself in front of Shen Qiang.
Which stunned Shen Qiang with amazement, but soon he felt somewhat moved.
Smelling the faint incense of Sleeping Fire Lotus from her and sensing the strands of heat emanating from her pronounced posture while blocking in front, Shen Qiang realized her tension was largely due to worrying about him.
A myriad of flying swords like locusts were already closing in.
Everyone present had clearly felt the terrifying killing intent wrapped around those sword beams.
At this moment, while having his back towards those flying swords, the burly swordsman, bowed low towards Shen Qiang, saying: "The gratitude for the boss's kindness is beyond repayment, so, please, survive!"
Shen Qiang smiled and nodded.
And almost at the same time,
The Cultivator on the prince's side sneered: "Useless! There's no need for my prince to act; Illusion Feather Thousand Kills is enough to take your dog lives!"
Just as his voice faded.
The burly swordsman bent in salute to Shen Qiang's eyes suddenly flared with cold light!
Boom!
Not only did terrifying True Yuan soar skyward instantly, but with the crisp sound of a long sword being unsheathed, a gigantic wind wall composed of terrifying True Yuan and Spiritual Energy suddenly emerged beside Shen Qiang and the others.
Though with countless sword beams, yet none could shaken it!
"Want to kill my boss, you can try!"
The burly swordsman's figure glinted menacingly, instantly charging towards the opponent's formation!
Not only was his movement swift as the wind, but the graceful agility of his form was also strikingly incongruous with his tall and sturdy stature.
"What a formidable fellow! Is this his Dao Fruit?" The Abyss Prince joyfully exclaimed.
Boom!
At this moment, behind the prince, a sword holder instantly appeared blocking the advancing burly swordsman; one wielded a blade, the other a sword. Their movements were both incredibly ghostly and swift as the wind.
In just moments, the sound of clashing blades filled the air.
Swish swish swish swish...
Beside the petite and exquisite Gu Hunter, those sounds of countless insects crawling chilled one to the bone.
"Facing me head-on isn't very effective, you know."
And almost at the same time, with an opponent wielding a long spear closing in.
Boom!
Blue flames burned from Ji Wei's body, several entwined iron chains encircling him, whispering in chilling friction: "I light the path toward darkness—
Thus, I became the darkness!"
Not only that, seeing everyone already engaged, the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu's delicate jade hands flew swiftly to perform a sealing.
Subsequently, amid the earth's vibrations,
The three-headed six-armed giant Immovable Netherworld King slowly emerged from the ground nearby.
The instant it opened its eyes, even the moonlight seemed to dim.
