Just as the strong practitioners of Long Yan Sword Sect were convulsing and toppling to the ground,

the many powerful observers hidden in the far distance, utterly unconcerned with the condition of Long Yan's people, were simply staring agape at Shen Qiang, whose body was wrapped in an electric light aura.

"My heavens! Such heavy demon energy! Shen Qiang is actually a Great Demon! Revealing his true body, he has brought down so many of Long Yan's strong practitioners!"

"To reveal his true body and kill nearly a hundred cultivators in an instant? What a terrifying Shen Qiang, he must truly be the King of Demons!"

"It's too horrific, this Shen family, even if they are a cultivation sect, is clearly a league of demons! And this Shen Qiang himself is a terrifying Great Demon!"

But as they were filled with shock, the Great Elder of Long Yan Sword Sect, standing proudly in the middle of the field, furrowed his brows and said in a stern voice, "You insignificant trickster, you're just scum who has used the Essence of Demon Beasts to establish your foundation. Do you think your sorcery and illusions can deceive me?"

Shen Qiang laughed.

And almost at the same time,

The Great Elder of the Long Yan Sword Sect, forming a magic technique with his hands, shouted loudly, "Break for me!"

Boom!

His True Yuan, brimming with Divine Sense, burst forth like a tempest, radiating violently from him in all directions.

The fierce Gang Wind blew so hard that Shen Qiang's clothes rustled loudly in the wind.

But once the impact passed, the Great Elder of Long Yan Sword Sect was stunned.

"It's not an illusion!"

Realizing this instantly, his eyes wide with fury, he looked around. With a single sweep of his Divine Sense, he was sharply aware that all the people from Long Yan Sword Sect who had come here were already...

Dead!

"How is this possible?" The Great Elder of the Long Yan Sword Sect stared dumbfounded at Shen Qiang and then, in a rage, exclaimed, "You little scoundrel, where did you learn such Demon Art! If you don't resurrect them immediately, I swear I will grind your bones to dust and scatter them to the winds!"

At that moment, Shen Qiang's lips revealed a chilly, cruel smile as he simply raised an eyebrow coolly.

Because Shen Qiang was very clear that after infection with Botulinum Toxin, the released botulinum toxin contains high molecular weight protein neurotoxins.

This toxin is currently known to be the most potent biological toxin among natural toxins and synthetic poisons. It mainly inhibits the release of acetylcholine at nerve endings, causing muscle relaxation and paralysis, with the actual cause of death being respiratory muscle paralysis leading to asphyxiation.

Cultivators are people too; they have not evolved to be able to survive for extended periods without breathing.

Especially now, during intense combat, without the ability to breathe, yet rapidly depleting oxygen, once the breathing muscles are paralyzed and oxygen can't be obtained, it would take no more than three seconds for these cultivators to die.

"How terrifying! Brother Qiang is truly so strong!" Wu Zhaoyang, standing at a distance, holding his huge hammer, watched with eyes full of shock as the bodies of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators and higher lay before him, breathless and dead.

"He must be the strongest man in this world!" Jing Xiangwei's eyes were full of horror as she watched the lifeless body of a Mixed Element Realm expert before her—a person she and the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, working together, had not been able to kill in three moves!

The beautiful heroic thief, Jiang Hanyang, gazed at Shen Qiang with stars in her eyes. "He's so powerful, smart, and so handsome! So handsome..."

Meanwhile, the many strong observers hidden in the distance were also staring in horror at Shen Qiang and the corpses sprawled on the ground.

"He's not a demon, but a cultivator who has used the Essence of Demons to establish his foundation! And he succeeded! Heavens, using the essence of demons for foundation establishment always entails a high risk of death, but he succeeded. Truly deserving of being a peerless genius of all ages!"

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable! What Sorcery has Shen Qiang cultivated to treat strong practitioners like mere weeds, to kill with just a word?"

"Damn, this Shen Qiang isn't so great, what genius, it's just good luck that his Essence Foundation Establishment was successful. I, on the other hand, have cultivated my own true power!"

These were the thoughts of the crowd, in a mere flash of the moment.

At this moment, facing the Long Yan Sword Sect's Great Elder, Shen Qiang raised his brows with unusual calm and said, "I can indeed bring them back to life, but I won't do that, because I only like my enemies dead!"

"Then you'll pay with your life for them!"

With a fierce cry, the Long Yan Sword Sect's Great Elder vanished on the spot.

Having activated Fury, Shen Qiang instantly released the weight of the Heavenly Palace Jade Lock.

At the same time, he examined the Long Yan Sword Sect's Great Elder, who had disappeared from his Divine Sense, with an even more exceptionally calm mind.

"Divine Sense is like a sensitive miniature radar; no moving object can escape the monitoring range of the radar. Based on the combat principle of stealth aircraft, he could only have used a change in form to reduce the surface area that my Divine Sense might detect."

"Or he's using some kind of Array or Magical Treasure that can temporarily shield against Divine Sense. But as long as he's moving quickly, the shielded area of Divine Sense will form a blind spot that can't be observed, almost as if it were an enlarged object."

"So fundamentally, the only way to hide one's figure using Magical Treasures or Formations and avoid Divine Sense is to remain completely still."

Shen Qiang's eyes instantly lit up as his thoughts raced.

"Speed, angle, with his arrogance, he's bound to confront me head-on!"

Boom!

Almost simultaneously as Shen Qiang activated the Barrier from his Mixed Arts.

A furiously powerful kick, as if tearing through space itself, had already smashed onto Shen Qiang's arms he used for defense.

Not only was Shen Qiang sent flying, but he also crashed into a tree by the roadside with a thunderous sound.

But at this moment, Shen Qiang's heart was filled with wild joy.

Because almost in the instant he was hit, Shen Qiang's Divine Sense had successfully captured the movement trajectory of the Long Yan Sword Sect's Great Elder.

His secret was indeed just as Shen Qiang had analyzed.

The fundamental reason he disappeared from the Divine Sense was his speed.

To detect him and provide the corresponding feedback would indeed take time.

It's like how ordinary people require 0.1 to 0.4 seconds to process the sight of an object, resulting in a brief visual persistence, which is one of the reasons why sometimes people, despite seeing something flying towards their face, can't dodge in time.

Another reason is that the brain, upon seeing the object, must make a judgment and issue commands to the body, which also requires reaction time.

Now that Shen Qiang had clearly captured the figure of the Long Yan Sword Sect's Great Elder and unraveled the workings of Divine Sense and the principle behind his disappearance, the elder, although of a much higher realm than Shen Qiang and intending to kill him, was merely dreaming!

Because Shen Qiang had now entered the Nascent Soul Stage.

Not only did he possess Divine Sense, but he also had a robust physique that far surpassed ordinary cultivators of the same level by several times, as well as the explosive power of Fury and the focused defense of the Barrier.

Boom!

Shen Qiang, who was sent flying, burst forth with wild lightning, and instead of trying to stop his flight, he used the momentum to lunge like a streak of light towards Xiu Ju's flame puppet that was hurrying over.

Whoosh!

In the instant the lightning passed through the flame of the puppet, the Long Yan Sword Sect's Great Elder was stunned.

Because to his shock, the once weak Shen Qiang had disappeared from his Divine Sense range.
