Everyone was stunned.

Even Shen Qiang felt the same.

Because Shen Qiang had seen Xiu Ju's doll before—it was an ugly doll with a missing leg, which sat next to her computer when Xiu Ju, pretending to be a doll clothing expert, made clothes for Golden Cicada.

After that, Shen Qiang occasionally saw Xiu Ju conversing with the doll missing a leg.

But Shen Qiang never thought that the doll was alive.

He just felt that Xiu Ju was talking to herself.

However, what Shen Qiang had not expected at all was not only that the doll was Xiu Ju's weapon but now it was even speaking on its own—this was simply... too outrageous!

"A mere blinding technique trying to fool us?" the sword-bearing powerhouse, seeing everyone's astonishment, said sternly, "You don't need to be afraid, she's trying to scare you."

The many Nascent Soul Stage cultivators of the Zhang Family shuddered violently, then regained their senses.

In fact, just as the sword-bearing powerhouse had said.

In the Cultivation World where flying swords were common, cultivators using silk threads as weapons were extremely rare.

Because silk threads, in themselves, do not possess the properties of swords and blades, to kill someone with it, the user must be an absolute powerhouse.

Xiu Ju was.

The flexible silk threads, in her hands, were sharper than any sword or blade.

The instantly woven net, once tightened, would chop a cultivator into fragments—a scene not only bloody but extraordinarily terrifying.

Therefore, those Zhang Family cultivators who were above the Nascent Soul Stage but below the Mixed Element Realm were very afraid of Xiu Ju, reacting instinctively with fear when they heard that she was not alone.

After hearing the words of the sword-bearing powerhouse, they visibly gained more courage.

"Right, it's just a blinding technique!"

"This woman wants to deceive us!"

"Let's take action, leave the weakling Shen Qiang to us."

Hearing these words, Shen Qiang said solemnly, "The physical strength of a Mixed Element Realm powerhouse exceeds my imagination, you'll need to hold on for at least two minutes and forty seconds. After that, even if it's just you, you can beat both of them."

Xiu Ju replied, "I understand."

"Leave the other cultivators to me, be extra careful," Shen Qiang said solemnly.

Xiu Ju laughed, "Are you worried about me?"

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, "Yes, tonight I plan to seriously force you to do many things you don't like, so, survive."

Xiu Ju blushed and laughed, "You scoundrel, you finally admit it, I'm just a victim." Watching the two approaching powerhouses, Xiu Ju said, "Don't worry, I will take them down."

"2 minutes and 35 seconds."

Having said that, Shen Qiang, who instantly released the burden of the Heavenly Palace Jade Lock, dashed with a flash towards a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator who was coughing to one side.

"Such speed!"

Thud!

As the head of the incredulous Nascent Soul Stage cultivator flew off.

Hidden in the darkness, Bianyi coughed violently.

"Damn, a bunch of idiots, giving Shen Qiang the chance to poison them. Even if they win, they won't escape the torment of sickness," Bianyi said, looking around nervously, so anxious he felt like peeing. "Where's Xiong Zhenghui? Where's the octopus demon? If they make a move, the Zhang Family's wastes are done for."

"Failure, I indeed overestimated that idiot from the Zhang family. If he had just a bit of brains to stand up and call for 'eliminating demons and defending the righteous,' countless cultivators with a strong sense of justice would stand up and join him against this fox spirit. Damn, but this fool wants to hog it all."

Almost simultaneously with Bianyi's anxiety,

on a small boat in the bay, completely still,

Fu Bo, with a deep frown, said, "The woman with Shen Qiang is indeed powerful. That puppet looks definitely like a demon, but in reality, she is bluffing. That puppet is a magical treasure, and the woman with Shen Qiang is condensing True Yuan into threads to control that puppet."

"Did you see? The woman by Shen Qiang's side has some connection with that puppet. Is it the array on the puppet's body? They just completed a swap of the puppet and her position, which happened instantaneously, helping her dodge a deadly move," Xiong Zhenghui said.

"She will lose," Fu Bo said earnestly. "She is strong, but she cannot win against two cultivators from the Mixed Element Realm if it's one-on-one, and definitely not in a two-on-one scenario."

Xiong Zhenghui nodded, "That's true."

Fu Bo frowned and said, "Why doesn't Chu Qing make a move? At this moment, if she intervenes, those mere mobs on the other side can't possibly win."

Xiong Zhenghui smiled, "Boss, I've said it before. Chu Qing is no longer a child. She is excellent and knows how to handle various situations. Right now, that woman with Shen Qiang still has combat power and hasn't lost all hope."

"And those cultivators from the Zhang Family, strangely underperforming so much so that this young fellow Shen Qiang, relying solely on his outstanding body technique and those peculiar golden lights, is engaging in a clumsy skirmish. At this time, if Chu Qing intervenes, do you think Shen Qiang and that woman would be grateful?"

Fu Bo was stunned, "Are you saying, Chu Qing is waiting until Shen Qiang is desperate to come out and save the day?"

Xiong Zhenghui smiled proudly, "Of course, Miss is very clever; how can she show her importance if not at a critical moment?"

Fu Bo sighed, "You taught her that?"

Xiong Zhenghui raised an eyebrow, "Not me; she has been doing this since the third grade."

Fu Bo frowned.

Just then, the always silent Sect Leader of the Gate of Happiness suddenly interrupted, "Don't you guys find it strange? Shen Qiang's cultivation is only at the Golden Core Stage, and he doesn't even have Divine Sense, yet look, those cultivators from the Zhang Family at the Nascent Soul Stage and above are all underperforming."

"They are coughing, some have stomach pain," Xiong Zhenghui, sniffing hard, frowned and said, "Some amongst them even soiled themselves during the fight—absolutely disgusting, battling while running loose. It's no wonder they're getting killed by Shen Qiang."

Just then, the always silent Abalone Third suddenly spoke up, "Not everyone is like that. Look at these last four guys, two of them have the strength of the Yin God Realm, and two are in the late stage of the Nascent Soul. They seem a bit off as well, but it's not affecting them much."

"Earlier, with others getting in the way, they couldn't act. Now that Shen Qiang is about to die, with his Golden Core stage cultivation, he can't dodge attacks from these four, so I guess, Miss must be about to make her move. This must be the moment she's been waiting for."

"Right, it must be so," Xiong Zhenghui's eyes glinted crisply.

At that moment inside the villa, Miss Chu Qing, sitting in a chair, saw the Flying Swords in the hands of the opposite four leaving Shen Qiang nowhere to hide, and her eyes already revealed a trace of a smile, her feet pressing down slightly, ready to make her move.

But just then, as Shen Qiang, who seemingly had nowhere to dodge, suddenly had a cold look in his eyes and instantly triggered Fury.

Boom!

An overwhelming aura descended instantly.

The cultivators fighting him unexpectedly felt their hearts palpitate.

And Miss Chu Qing, originally smiling and about to intervene, was instantly stunned.

Because the moment Shen Qiang triggered Fury,

she clearly felt that all the insects around the villa complex stopped chirping. Not only did the birds and animals hibernate, even the fish and shrimp in the river stopped moving.

And all this was because, at this moment, Shen Qiang was emitting an aura that terrified her.

It inexplicably made her think of…

Dragons!
