Chapter 1998 - 2001: Black Blade's Nighttime Edge

"So strong! So strong! Such powerful Heshenghe!" Amidst the fierce Gang Wind produced by the collision of True Yuan, the Abyss Prince looked at the many powerful figures around Shen Qiang with eyes full of shock, not only his expression becoming more and more awe-struck but also trembling slightly with excitement.

Meanwhile, because Shen Qiang's side had few people, Ye Guyun, Ke Bizhu, and the petite and graceful girl with a delicate anklet on her snow-white ankle, had all joined the fray.

"It's not just outnumbered but a tremendously disparate in power!" On the mountain ridge afar, the old Immortal Master Ancestor of Medicine King Valley frowned at the groups already meditating, secretly sighed somewhat worriedly:

"Mixed Element is the third stage of Divine Refining and Returning Void, emphasizing Yin and Yang harmony, returning to Chaos, Chaos is one, the beginning of Primordial Energy! From Taixu arises the cave, from cave arises void, from void arises being, from being arises emptiness; observing the transformation of emptiness and void, one can naturally give birth to nature. From this, mastering rules, Primordial Energy naturally generates, endlessly."

"At this stage, Shen Qiang is enough to be regarded as a strong figure in front of ordinary cultivators."

But watching the numerous cultivators who were already fighting in the battle arrays, although he gave Shen Qiang a strong evaluation, the Immortal Master Ancestor of Medicine King Valley still had furrowed brows.

"However, Dao Fruit is the first stage of Harmonization. Its power lies in that cultivators at Dao Fruit Stage have already refined the rules into Dao Fruit, meaning, within the range of their techniques, the rules are set by the cultivator themselves, usually differing according to personal traits and preferences."

"For example, the big swordsman blocking thousands of Illusion Swords, one can clearly see that the rule of that technique is to block all flying Magical Treasures, if the opponent is engaged in close combat with a sword, it's completely useless."

The person beside him nodded, saying solemnly: "The quantity of Shen Qiang's True Yuan gives me the feeling it's even stronger than that of ordinary Dao Fruit Stage cultivators, but the key issue is, he hasn't entered Dao Fruit, hasn't mastered rule-based techniques yet, so even him, unless particularly lucky to encounter a cultivator of Dao Fruit who cannot restrain him, otherwise, he simply has no chance of winning against a Dao Fruit Stage cultivator."

The Immortal Master Ancestor of Medicine King Valley nodded upon hearing.

"The people around Shen Qiang are well cultivated, all very powerful, especially the three Great Demons, the Buddhist-like Immovable Ming King in the hands of the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon, Ji Wei the True Body Corpse King, and Ye Guyun, the head of the Ancient Four Great Beasts, all have explosive combat power."

"However, even stronger are still those cultivators from the Abyss. Among them, there are two Harmonization Stage cultivators, what is Harmonization?"

"Harmonization is the second stage of Divine Refining and Returning Void. The rules combine Primordial Spirit, Dao Fruit, and body into one, achieving an Unleakable Golden Body! In the cultivation world, there are probably only one or two hundred cultivators with such cultivation, each one has undergone numerous battle arrays, experienced countless killings, and ultimately surviving as the sharp edge of cultivation, can be called the top experts of the cultivation world!"

"If Shen Qiang's unfathomable old steward were here, the outcome between them would be about fifty-fifty, but the old steward is gone, Lord Chi Yan is not here either, and the opposing side has two Harmonization Stage, their combat experience, and rule application, are absolutely not comparable to those of Dao Fruit Stage cultivators, so Shen Qiang and the others are merely fighting a losing battle, with absolutely no chance of winning."

Hearing this, another person hesitated for a moment and said: "Shen Qiang as Medicine King is also excellent at poisoning, if..."

"No ifs!" The Immortal Master Ancestor of Medicine King Valley interrupted sternly: "They used Defensive Dew, at least within the next two hours, there won't be any issues, and between strong figures, combat often decides the outcome in an instant, it's impossible to last that long."

"Then we just watch like this?" The other hesitated.

The Immortal Master Ancestor of Medicine King Valley hesitated for a long time before sighing: "We are not saviors, in this world, the one who can save oneself is always oneself."

Three people watched the battle, their expressions grim.

And at this moment, already in fury, Shen Qiang, felt calm waves within his heart.

Amidst flickering lightning, it merged with nature's spiritual energy.

Amidst spiritual energy fluctuations.

True Yuan self-generates.

Within this endless feeling only grasped above the Mixed Element Realm, there's also a surprise in Shen Qiang's heart.

"Although recently I've been busy with the affairs of Heshenghe, the growth rate of True Yuan is even faster than before, this undoubtedly is the benefit brought by the Fetal Dragon Essence, and the Divine Sense has enhanced a lot as well.

At this moment, the two top Harmonization Stage experts who had not joined the battle beside him, looked at Shen Qiang with fervent eyes, their figure becoming aggressive.

"Shen Qiang, come on, let me see your skills! Dare to approach my Song Weiyin, you should die!"

Speaking, the fat man's figure rushed towards Shen Qiang like lightning.

Not only that.

At this moment, Shen Qiang subconsciously opened the Observation Skill, and in a split second, he saw the weapon in the fat man's hand.

Top grade Immortal Artifact, Heavenly Gang Seven Stars Spear!

Existence time, three thousand years.

Moreover, according to the evaluation given by the Medical Saint Inheritance, the comment on this weapon is: Indestructible!

"Oh, indeed different from ordinary cultivators, those who dare come looking for trouble after I have become famous indeed have some genuine skills, merely this rare top grade Immortal Artifact, isn't something ordinary people can obtain."

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, flashed, dodging the fat man's attack.

"Oh, trash, all you can do is run? The actress Song Weiyin is the angel heaven bestowed upon this world, only the one who loves her the most is qualified to be with her, you shameless guy, dare let her endorse your lousy restaurant? Dare film with her? Really deserve to die!"

In the midst of his continuous mockery, Shen Qiang, holding a knife single-handedly, avoided the fat man's attacks with an exceptionally calm mind.

The logic is simple, from a mechanical standpoint, unless the power far exceeds the opponent, using a single-handed knife to confront the opponent's heavy halberd is self-inflicted suffering.

As for the fat man's trash talk, Shen Qiang knew that it was the fat man trying to infuriate him, hoping he'd expose a flaw, or engage with him head-on, in which case, the advantage of the heavy halberd could be fully utilized.

Shen Qiang would eventually fall behind.

"The real trash is you." Shen Qiang while dodging the attacks of the heavy halberd, seeking opportunities, retorted: "Song Weiyin is indeed an angel, beautiful to the point of happiness, you may have known her for more than a decade, but she doesn't like you, I've known her for only over ten days, she absolutely wants to be with me for a lifetime, such an obvious contrast, don't you feel ashamed?"

Hearing this, for a moment, the fat man was enraged.

"Bastard, you go die! No one can take her from my side, not even god!"

His power fierce and unrivaled.

But looking at his earth-shaking, as if tearing through the dark night like a furious strike, Shen Qiang laughed.

"Flaw! Now's the moment!"

Boom!

The sole instantly shattered the ground, and Shen Qiang, transforming into lightning, instantly disappeared, the Black Blade Youying, under the cold moonlight, exploded with cruel splendor!
