Chapter 2385 - 2388: Offending the Dragon Emperor Means Death Without Mercy! (Fifth Update)

Upon hearing the words of the Great Sea Demon in a white robe, Jinli Qianning beside Shen Qiang inexplicably grew tense. Not only did her beautiful eyes anxiously fixate on Shen Qiang, but her snow-white jade hand, gripping Shen Qiang's shoulder, revealed that her palm was already drenched in sweat.

Not only was she like this, but Yu Wenzi on the side was also full of tension, her beautiful eyes unwaveringly fixed on those appraisers, while a peculiar-looking flute appeared in her snow-white jade hand.

"Shen Qiang is doomed!"

A light smile appeared on the corners of the numerous Great Sea Demons dressed in magnificent attire.

"This Shen Qiang may appear calm, but those around him have already deeply betrayed him. If that spear is truly from the Dragon Emperor's treasury, the bald head of the Sea Demon King Yu Jiang would certainly not be sweating."

"Self-righteous fool! Humans always think that having an exceptional brain means invincibility, but actually, we're no less capable. The flute in that woman's hand is clearly her weapon, and Princess Qianning is already frantic. If it's genuine, why would they be so anxious?"

"The weapon identification can now be revealed, and Shen Qiang, this ill-fated Dragon Emperor, is at his end."

They wore smiles at the corners of their mouths.

Meanwhile, the Great Sea Demon in a white robe already mocked Shen Qiang with visible delight. Until, after the five appraisers discussed and one was selected to approach him, seemingly ready to announce a result, he sneered at Shen Qiang and said: "Shen Qiang, you're finished; this is the consequence of provoking me! Your spear is fake, you're doomed."

Shen Qiang chuckled lightly, crossed his legs, and swirled his wine glass, saying: "Announce it."

This statement startled everyone present.

At this moment, the elder chosen among them looked solemnly at Shen Qiang, and as Shen Qiang noticed the elder's lips curl into a smile, every Great Sea Demon present heard the elder speak in a deep voice.

"This spear is known as the Emperor's Flag, wielded by the legendary Unrivaled Spear Emperor, never defeated and always triumphant; however, this spear disappeared four thousand three hundred years ago, and hasn't been seen for thousands of years. Later, in homage to the Spear Emperor, our Long Chang's twenty-seventh generation ancestor crafted twelve replica Emperor's Flag Triangular Eagles based on this spear."

As soon as the elder finished speaking, the lavishly dressed Great Sea Demons were instantly dumbfounded, their mouths agape.

The white-robed Great Sea Demon suddenly leapt up as if pricked by a needle.

"Impossible!" The white-robed Great Sea Demon roared: "This is the Emperor's Flag, the Triangular Eagle! I've seen it; it bears the mark of Long Chang!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was instantly flabbergasted.

Yet Shen Qiang chuckled.

He took a sip of wine, then smiled as he watched the spectacle.

"Then you must be mistaken." The elder glanced coldly at him, then took the spear and gave it a shake.

Boom!

Accompanied by rampant True Yuan, the spear emanated a flag-like True Essence scene as if an eagle soared, turning the spear into a flagpole-like entity that exuded a terrifying pressure causing one's hair to stand on end.

"This is not possible!" The white-robed Great Sea Demon was beyond shocked, staring wide-eyed at everything before them.

The other Great Sea Demons were equally shocked; not only that, they exchanged glances and immediately retreated discreetly.

The ordinary Great Sea Demons were instantly thrown into chaos.

"Long live the Dragon Emperor! This is actually the supreme treasure that belonged to the Unrivaled Spear Emperor back then!"

"Ugh, the Long Chang's Emperor's Flag, the Triangular Eagle, was modeled after it!"

"Oh my, what a disgrace. The Dragon Emperor bestowed such a supreme treasure, yet we doubted it. No wonder the Dragon Emperor said he had no need to explain his actions!"

Amidst the chaotic discussions of many sea demons, Shen Qiang's lips curled into a mocking smile.

Because Shen Qiang knew better than anyone else.

This spear was not the Emperor's Flag spear wielded by the Unrivaled Spear Emperor but was, in fact, the true Emperor's Flag Triangular Eagle.

But it's unfortunate.

The master blacksmith of the Long Chang, the Forging Master, declared it genuine and not a replica, so it was accepted as such here—no one could dispute it.

"Impossible, you're deceiving me!" The white-robed Great Demon fumed, then pointed at the black market appraiser, saying: "Tell me, is this spear genuine!"

The black market appraiser spoke calmly: "Yes, it's a weapon with a lengthy history; without a timeframe of four to five thousand years, it wouldn't have such distinctive oxidation marks, so it's definitely not a Triangular Eagle."

"Impossible!" The white-robed Great Demon was furious, yanking over Cheng Xinyi's appraiser, defiantly saying: "You don't have the Bai surname, you've worked for the Bai Family a lifetime without advancement, so you definitely wouldn't aid Shen Qiang. Now tell me—is this spear the Emperor's Flag, the Triangular Eagle?"

The appraiser responded with exceptional calmness: "This spear can be affirmed to have at least four thousand years of history, while the Emperor's Flag, the Triangular Eagle, emerged a thousand years ago, so the conclusion is unquestionable."

Upon hearing this, the white-robed man was dumbstruck.

The surrounding sea demons exploded into uproar.

"Madness, this is excessive. If the spear is genuine, then the Dragon Emperor treated us generously, yet we doubted him!"

Amidst the sea demons' chatter, Shen Qiang sat in the chair, swirling the wine glass, laughing calmly: "Now that the verdict is clear, it's time for reckoning. As the Dragon Emperor, my actions are not for you to speculate or doubt. Therefore, anyone who affronts the Dragon Emperor must die!"

As soon as Shen Qiang uttered these words, the white-robed Great Sea Demon turned to flee.

Shen Qiang laughed, casually snapping his fingers.

In an instant, aided by Anthrax Bacteria, the Fibrous Adhesive Bacteria immediately took effect, causing smoke to rise from the cheeks of the white-robed Great Demon, and amidst the shock of numerous sea demons, his face began to rot visibly.

"I was wrong, Dragon Emperor, spare me!" Seeing his inability to escape, he immediately knelt and begged for mercy.

Yet Shen Qiang laughed, gazing calmly at the blood-like wine swirling in the glass, coldly and indifferently saying: "The Dragon Emperor's majesty cannot be defied. I can promise you that after your death, your family will not suffer, but now, you may die!"

Upon hearing these words, there was dead silence among the many Great Sea Demons present.

Soon they clearly saw the white-robed Great Sea Demon rolling on the ground, howling in pain, a scene that left all sea demons pale.

Poom!

Blood spewed as the head flew.

Following this, Shen Qiang frowned, instantly spotting Tianzhao.

She sighed as she looked at the white-robed Great Sea Demon she had killed with a True Essence Blade Wind, taking a deep breath before turning her gaze to Shen Qiang, saying: "Such cruel punishment and bizarre killing certainly shock, but even if that spear truly is the Emperor's Flag, I can now confidently assert that you are not the true Dragon Emperor!"
