"Good man!" The nurous cultivators present looked in shock at Cheng Hai, whose steps were faltering.
"He's right. In battles between powerful cultivators, a Nascent Soul Stage's strength doesn't guarantee victory, not even basic obstruction, but he's still fighting. This isn't because he's reckless in the face of death, but because of his inner conviction."
"People are inherently selfish. Though they may talk about virtue and benevolence all day, when it cos down to their own interests, everyone prioritizes their own gains and losses. But this guy is different. He's willing to fight to the death just for a promise."
"I truly didn't expect that Shen Qiang, the King of Demons, would have such a loyal and righteous man under his command. If my family were to encounter such a change, even though I have connections all over the world, there's probably no one willing to do this for ."
Everyone sighed.
At this mont, looking at Cheng Hai, whose True Yuan was not fierce nor did he appear intimidating, yet steadfastly standing in front of the Mixed Elent Realm expert, Sha Jianming's gaze shifted from shock and appreciation to anger.
"Why? What makes Shen Qiang so special? A self-made grassroots who doesn't even know what a prestigious family is, just happens to have a few demons by his side and gets a bit lucky. Why does he have the Black Blade and not ? Why does Wei Sheng Qian Dai keep looking at him? Why are even his subordinates better than mine?"
Growing angrier, Sha Jianming rushed to his laptop, roaring, "Kill him for , a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator daring to be a hero should be prepared to die!"
Upon hearing this, the Qingyun Sword Pavilion's Mixed Elent Realm expert coldly glanced at the live stream.
Then turned back around.
Placing the giant sword across his chest, he gazed at Cheng Hai and said,
"You're a good man, and you've done well enough. But no matter how hard you try, you can't defeat or stop , so why throw away your life? Leave, and no one will bla you."
Furious at these words, Cheng Hai shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting! I already told you, it's not about whether I can, it's because I am here!"
The crowd watched the footage from the laptop in shock.
The tall Mixed Elent Realm expert from Qingyun Sword Pavilion sighed, and a silver light burst from the giant sword.
"If there really is a next life, I hope we can be friends."
With those words,
the Qingyun Sword Pavilion's Mixed Elent Realm expert slashed at Cheng Hai.
Sha Jianming's eyes lit up in excitent, flashing with a frenzied grin, and he laughed wildly, "Die! Bla yourself for having a foolish boss whose stupidity killed you. He foolishly believed a Nascent Soul Stage like you could protect his parents. Ha! How foolish can one be?"
But before his laugh could finish,
all cultivators by the lake heard Shen Qiang's calm yet chilling voice.
"Cheng Hai ntioned, nobody expected a Nascent Soul Stage like him to stop a Mixed Elent Realm expert."
The crowd was startled.
Almost simultaneously,
Boom!
Amid a thunderous impact,
everyone, along with Cheng Hai in the video, was dumbfounded, staring in disbelief at the giant arm ford from a tree trunk, at this mont, gripping the Mixed Elent Realm cultivator's giant sword firmly.
"What is this?"
All the cultivators stared in shock at the two trees in the villa courtyard transforming into humanoid shapes.
"Tree spirits, they are tree spirits!"
Just as everyone was shocked in the mont,
Boom!
The Mixed Elent Realm cultivator, whose giant sword was caught and smashed to the ground, released his grip and retreated swiftly.
Yet almost simultaneously, everyone saw in shock.
The humanoid tree spirit instantaneously entered the ground, then reappeared before the Mixed Elent Realm cultivator.
Its thick and powerful arms not only instantly embraced him,
but the spear-like dozens of sharp wood spikes pierced through his body instantly.
The screen shook violently.
The person holding the live streaming equipnt seed to want to flee, but almost in an instant,
another tree demon, transford into a beautiful woman, appeared in front of the cara, coldly reached out,
and in a mont, an innurable number of wooden spikes surged in, and the cara turned pitch black.
The people present stared at the now black laptop in shock.
It took a long ti for them to return to their senses.
"The two tree spirits in the courtyard were the real guards! Was Cheng Hai just a distraction?"
"No one expected a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator to defeat a Mixed Elent Realm expert. Indeed, even from Cheng Hai's equally shocked expression, it was clear that, even he, who thought Shen Qiang highly trusted him, hadn't anticipated the presence of two demons hidden within the villa."
"Such powerful tree spirits, they almost instantly killed that Mixed Elent Realm expert, though the opportunity was created by the stubborn Cheng Hai."
Amid the stunned gazes of the cultivators,
Sha Jianming's expression changed dramatically as he suddenly rembered a reminder from a subordinate in Carefree Valley earlier,
"If we could think of taking Shen Qiang's parents as hostages, Shen Qiang must have anticipated it, so it was most likely just a trap..."
Realizing this, Sha Jianming raised an eyebrow.
But before he could speak, Shen Qiang, standing on the frozen surface, grinned and said, "Sha Jianming, you really like watching live streams? That's great, I have sothing for you to watch too."
With that, Shen Qiang waved his hand.
Demon Ke Bizhu, standing by the car, placed a laptop on the car as well, and as the screen flashed,
the scene displayed was a ravaged valley after a great battle.
Sha Jianming's face changed drastically at once.
"Carefree Valley! Shen Qiang! What did you do?"
Shen Qiang smiled slightly and said, "Nothing much. I originally thought if Young Master Sha left promptly, he might not catch up and bother . But unfortunately, in your eagerness to kill , you forgot that although Heshenghe is just a new force."
"You old, established powerhouses, never lack enemies around you."
Sha Jianming was startled.
anwhile, on the other side of the cara, appeared the smiling Bianyi, who glanced in surprise at the situation by the lake, where nurous cultivators wielded swords and knives intending to kill, and cheerfully said, "Oh, indeed, you're my most beloved boss. Wherever you go, you're so adored."
"So now I have good news for you: with our full support, the Netherworld Pavilion, which has always viewed Carefree Valley as a mortal enemy, brought all their experts, caught Carefree Valley off guard, and now the battle is decided, a complete victory."
On hearing this, the shocked cultivators present were left agape.
At the sa ti, Shen Qiang, who did not smile, spoke solemnly, "What are our casualties?"
"Casualties?" Bianyi laughed, "How could there be any? We rely stood by to lend support, threatening with weapons, and set up jamrs to prevent Carefree Valley from communicating with the outside world, so all we had to do was wait for dividends!"
