The numerous cultivators from the Qingyun Sword Pavilion and Carefree Valley immediately halted, then watched as Shen Qiang calmly got out of the car, standing quietly by the lakeside, gazing towards the direction of the people from Carefree Valley and the Qingyun Sword Pavilion.

This situation caused Sha Jianming, sitting in the back of the luxurious business car, to have an increasingly cold gaze.

"Shen Qiang has discovered us. Let's move. Although this isn't the ambush point we initially planned, this desolate wilderness is also a good place to make our move."

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder of Qingyun Sword Pavilion looked at Shen Qiang with a cold gaze and sneered, "It seems he has guessed something, so he deliberately stayed here, trying to turn the situation from passive to active, but probably what he's relying on is his poison skill."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Sha Jianming said impatiently, "Let's act quickly. Each of us has an anti-poison mask, he can't outplay us."

Hearing this, the Great Elder of Qingyun Sword Pavilion nodded and said over the radio, "All personnel, put on your anti-poison masks, get out, and prepare for battle."

Just as he finished speaking.

Sha Jianming, with his anti-poison mask on, directly opened the door and got out of the car.

Subsequently, a massive crowd of nearly a hundred cultivators, wearing exquisite anti-poison masks, got out of their cars and grandly approached Shen Qiang, who stood calmly at the frozen lakeside.

"Shen Qiang, your time has come. Hand over the Evil Spirit Armor!"

Sha Jianming's voice transmitted from within the anti-poison mask, inexplicably muffled.

Standing by the lakeside, Shen Qiang burst into laughter.

"Oh? I was still curious earlier on when Master Sha became so courageous. It turns out you came up with the idea of wearing anti-poison masks. Impressive, impressive indeed."

Upon hearing this, Sha Jianming proudly said, "Your poison skills are completely ineffective against our anti-poison masks."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "It sounds reasonable, except, don't forget, not all poisons and germs in the world are transmitted through the respiratory system, and don't you think fighting outdoors in winter with such anti-poison masks on is rather foolish?"

The heat from their breaths caused the glass lenses of the anti-poison masks to fog up heavily, and they couldn't be wiped from outside, making it very uncomfortable to see anything.

Yet even so, there wasn't a single person from Carefree Valley and Qingyun Sword Pavilion who dared to take their masks off, because they understood that without anti-poison masks in front of Shen Qiang, it would mean death.

"Shen Qiang, you needn't brag about your poison skill, without it, you're nothing. Now, don't say I didn't give you a chance, as long as you hand over the Black Blade and the Evil Spirit Armor obediently, maybe we can still negotiate our matters, otherwise, you're surely doomed today."

Shen Qiang smiled faintly, "I didn't plan on using poison today. Because it's been some time since I got Youying, and I haven't let it see blood, so since you want to kill me, using you as a sacrifice for the blade seems quite appropriate."

Hearing this, Sha Jianming was stunned for a moment, then laughed wildly, mocking, "Shen Qiang, have you lost your mind? Don't forget your cultivation is merely at the Yang God Realm, which may make you a master in your little area, but before us, you're nothing. You dare to play with a blade, do you believe I couldn't just send any disciple from Carefree Valley to take you out in a flash?"

Looking at the frost-covered glass lenses of Sha Jianming's anti-poison mask, Shen Qiang smiled, "I don't believe."

After hearing this.

A cultivator of the Mixed Element Realm from Carefree Valley stepped forward abruptly and said, "Young Master, please allow me to fight on your behalf, I will surely slay this Shen Qiang with my blade."

"Granted!" Sha Jianming said arrogantly.

Upon hearing this, Kang Luoying stepped forward with her cold, beautiful eyes, and the Qingyun Sword appeared in her hand.

"Want to harm Shen Qiang? Then first challenge the sword in my hand!"

Hearing Kang Luoying's voice as cold as frost.

Shen Qiang, lightly patting her on the shoulder, said, "Luoying, I know you're worried about me, but you just stay on the side and support, I just want to see if this blade is fast enough."

Kang Luoying was shocked.

Meanwhile, fearing Shen Qiang might change his mind, Sha Jianming sneered, "Shen Qiang, since you're seeking death, then we'll oblige." Saying this, he pushed the Mixed Element Realm cultivator beside him and said sternly, "Go ahead, fight him one-on-one, and bring me his head."

"Understood!"

The Mixed Element Realm cultivator walked arrogantly onto the frozen lake.

The formidable cultivation of the Mixed Element Realm erupted violently.

The terrifying aura startled the wild chickens in the yellowed grass by the lakeside, making them take flight in panic.

Seeing such a powerful aura.

The beautiful heroic thief Jiang Hanyang said worriedly, "Shen Qiang, this is too dangerous."

Shen Qiang smiled, saying calmly, "Don't worry."

Then, Shen Qiang stepped forward.

The beautiful heroic thief Jiang Hanyang looked surprised and anxious, turning to the calm-faced Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu and Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, asking urgently, "Aren't you going to try persuading him? This is too dangerous."

The two women smiled and said, "A Mixed Element Realm cultivator can't harm Shen Qiang in a one-on-one scenario."

The beautiful heroic thief Jiang Hanyang was astonished.

Meanwhile, the Mixed Element Realm cultivator from Carefree Valley had already solemnly summoned his flying sword.

That flying sword was about three fingers wide and roughly 1.3 meters long.

As he formed a sword technique with his hand, the flying sword in his hand started to glow faintly with a greenish light.

Furthermore, the scattered aura generated by his power exploded into solidification, instantly killing the wild chickens that sensed danger and tried to fly away.

Seeing this, the people from Carefree Valley and the Qingyun Sword Pavilion immediately became excited.

"A high-quality magic artifact flying sword! This is an existence second only to an Immortal Artifact! Moreover, he possesses the strongest resilience as a wood-attribute cultivator, perfectly balanced in both defense and offense, combined with the terrifying strength of a Mixed Element Realm cultivator. I'd bet Shen Qiang won't last over three moves before him!"

"That's indeed a Mixed Element Realm cultivator. Combined with a high-quality flying sword, even against a super strong Dao Fruit Stage cultivator, it's not an unwinnable battle, so Shen Qiang is certainly doomed."

"Despite having the Divine Artifact Black Blade Youying, Shen Qiang's cultivation remains a serious flaw, so in a one-on-one, he has no chance of winning."

Amidst the excited discussions of disciples from Qingyun Sword Pavilion and Carefree Valley.

The Mixed Element Realm cultivator from Carefree Valley coldly looked at Shen Qiang and said, "I am Zhuo Shao, a disciple of Carefree Valley, remember my name..."

"No need." Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow calmly and said, "Humans usually remember only about one hundred and fifty other people around them. There are too many people around me, and since you're unknown, there's no need to say your name because I've already forgotten it in the blink of an eye."

That Mixed Element Realm cultivator from Carefree Valley, upon hearing this, became furious and shouted, "I'm an unknown individual?"

Seeing Shen Qiang nodding earnestly.

He raged, "Come, come, come, you ignorant ant in the Yang God Realm, I'll let you make three moves, then cut you down with one sword, so you'll die knowing the vast difference between us!"
