The assassin was so shaken by the powerful backlash that they spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, their body swaying as they fell.
In contrast, Wang Xiaoqiang remained completely unimpeded.
It was evident that the assassin's Sun-Shooting Bow was still slightly inferior compared to Wang Xiaoqiang's Visualization-Type Techniques.
The assassin crashed heavily to the ground.
They struggled for a few monts but failed to stand up.
Wang Xiaoqiang swiftly moved over, first picking up the Sun-Shooting Bow. He scrutinized it closely. Engraved on it was a depiction of a figure drawing a bow and loosing an arrow, and three ancient characters—Sun-Shooting Bow.
With a thought, he stored the Sun-Shooting Bow into the Suru Ring and then stepped on the assassin. Lifting the veil of the woman, he saw a delicate and pretty face that would have been bewitching if not for the traces of blood.
Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand and a stream of Water Elent Spiritual Qi washed away the blood, revealing a beautiful face. Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang thought of Xia Dieyu. This face bore a striking resemblance to hers and was likely also one of the Xia Family won.
"You're a woman of the Xia Family, aren't you?"
"That's right. I am the eldest daughter of the Xia Family and an elite disciple of the Chiba Sect," the woman said weakly. "Just kill ."
"Heh, you're too beautiful, I couldn't bear to kill you!" Wang Xiaoqiang said.
"If you don't kill , one day I will surely kill you!" the woman said through gritted teeth.
"Haha, it seems you are a feisty one; I like won with your fire," smiled Wang Xiaoqiang.
The woman exclaid in anger and embarrassnt, "You, what are you doing?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm a man who cherishes beauty. You've been so badly injured, the least I could do is heal you," Wang Xiaoqiang said, leading the woman to the Sacrificial Altar.
"You, let go of , if you dare dishonor , the Chiba Sect will not let you off..." the woman said hatefully.
"The Chiba Sect, pah, I don't care if it's the Chiba Sect or the 'Myriad Flowers Gate'. Right now, I just want to heal you and let you experience the consequences of disrespecting ..." As he said this, Wang Xiaoqiang placed the woman on the high platform.
The crowd below was dumbfounded.
They had seen the arrogant, but they had never seen such brazen arrogance before—City Lord Wang actually, right in front of tens of thousands of people, did that to an assassin...
After the deed, Wang Xiaoqiang ordered her to be taken away and dismissed the crowd, concluding the grand ceremony in such a peculiar manner.
The lavishly built annex that Xia Hou had just completed beca Wang Xiaoqiang's sleeping quarters, and that very night, he took up residence there.
As the Heavenly Demoness would be leaving the next day, Wang Xiaoqiang hosted a grand banquet in her honor.
The hospitality of the White Cloud Lord was indeed remarkable, matching that of an Emperor of Ancient Huaxia, with the cuisine supplied by top chefs, maids in attendance for dining and drinking, and the place alive with songs and dances.
After eating and drinking their fill, Wang Xiaoqiang sent everyone away and captured the Heavenly Demoness in his grasp. Tonight, he intended to conquer this woman...
In the end, the Heavenly Demoness was thoroughly conquered by Wang Xiaoqiang, succumbing as a true woman to him, becoming a little woman...
The next day.
Before Wang Xiaoqiang woke up, the Heavenly Demoness had already left.
When Wang Xiaoqiang woke and saw that the Heavenly Demoness had left, his heart inevitably felt a sense of loss.
That day, Wang Xiaoqiang released Yang Ling to oversee the sleeping quarters and all the servants.
The following days were sowhat peaceful, with Wang Xiaoqiang enjoying an emperor-like life in the annex,
Apart from indulging in pleasures, Wang Xiaoqiang did not forget about cultivation. He ordered people to hunt Barbaric Demons in the deep mountains for his Body Cultivation. A month later, his Flesh Body Stage had reached the Late Stage of Organ Refining. Just one more step, and he would reach the Blood Condensation Realm.
With a powerful physical body, Wang Xiaoqiang began to absorb demonic power from Demon Crystals to enhance his realm that day.
He ordered Yang Ling to protect outside while he sat in the enclosed room, alone and cross-legged on the floor. He first took out all the Demon Crystals from the Suru Ring, then released all 72,400 Spirit Springs in his body to absorb the demonic power.
As 72,400 Spirit Springs were fully saturated with demonic power, they began to split... pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft... pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft...
The 72,400 Spirit Springs split in two, becoming 144,800 Spirit Springs. Wang Xiaoqiang absorbed the 144,800 Spirit Springs back into his body, and they vibrated in unison. The Spiritual Power dispersed, roaring and surging through all the apertures in his body like a tsunami...
Wang Xiaoqiang closed his eyes, feeling the ridians throughout his body swell with pain, as if they were on the verge of bursting from the surging Spiritual Power. He steadied his mind, inhale... exhale... inhale... exhale... With each breath, he eventually managed to restrain the wild Spiritual Power.
The 144,800 Spirit Springs in his body, like countless stars, arranged themselves in the formation of the starry sky and started to rotate along a mysterious trajectory.
Round and round they went, making eight full turns before coming to a stop.
Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes burst open, filled with joy and surprise. This ti, during his breakthrough, he advanced through three stages and ascended to the Eighth Transformation of the Immortal. Just two more levels, and he would reach the True Immortal Realm.
Once a cultivator enters the True Immortal Realm, they beco a true immortal, capable of living for ten thousand years.
Just as Wang Xiaoqiang had made his breakthrough, the door to his room was suddenly pushed open, and Yang Ling burst in, her face filled with panic as she exclaid, "Little Qiang, sothing terrible has happened - there are assassins!"
"It must be people from the Chiba Sect. How many have co?"
Wang Xiaoqiang's eyebrows rose as he asked.
"Six. They are all won. Right now, they are being held back and fighting with the Imperial Guards," Yang Ling replied.
"Why are they all won?"
"From what I've heard, the Chiba Sect is a sect made up of female cultivators; naturally, all their disciples are won!" said Yang Ling.
"Ah, then it couldn't be better. Subdue them all and let them join my harem..." As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, he stood up. With a thought, he collected the remaining Demon Crystals off the ground into his Suru Ring and also brought Yang Ling into the ring.
At that mont, two graceful figures burst in, holding Immortal Swords, and lunged toward Wang Xiaoqiang to attack him.
"Hmm, they got past the Imperial Guards so quickly, it seems their cultivation is not weak," Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes flickered. His Divine Sense swept over them and saw that both attackers were veiled in white and at the Sixth Transformation of the Immortal, judging by their slender waists, they were undoubtedly won.
As the two won charged at him, Wang Xiaoqiang's will moved, and a Patterned Beast flew out to shield him.
Blocking the two assassins for a mont.
The assassins thrust their swords at the Patterned Beast, which opened its mouth and roared, blowing the two attackers back so they flew into the air.
As Wang Xiaoqiang's strength had increased, so had that of the Patterned Beast. Its roar was now far more powerful than before.
"Hmph, daring to assassinate at the Sixth Transformation of the Immortal, they really don't take seriously!" Wang Xiaoqiang snorted coldly, leaped onto the head of the Patterned Beast, drew the Sun-Shooting Bow, and shot two Spiritual Energy Arrowheads towards the falling assassins.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two Spiritual Energy Arrowheads struck the bodies of the assassins, causing them to shudder violently and spit out mouthfuls of blood. Their bodies fell outside the palace.
At that mont, four more figures appeared.
Wang Xiaoqiang glanced at them and saw that the four assassins were slim, undoubtedly won.
This only further convinced him that they were disciples of the Chiba Sect, and most likely, they were here to avenge Xia Yuhan, the eldest daughter of the Xia Family.
Instead of helping their fallen comrades, or rushing to attack, these four won ford a formation.
They tore off the veils covering their faces, revealing four delicate and beautiful visages. They unraveled the ribbons binding their hair, letting their long hair cascade down like quicksilver. Their Spiritual Power erupted, tearing open their black tight-fitting clothes, revealing the thin, alluring and semi-transparent garnts underneath,
Then, the figures of the four won swayed, as if they began to dance. With their graceful movents, they imdiately exuded beauty, resembling fairy-like Immortal Maidens of the Nine Heavens descending to earth. As they danced, the four won appeared even more enchanting.
Wang Xiaoqiang watched the four increasingly beautiful won, completely bewitched by their stunning appearance.
In a daze, he completely let down his guard.
The four won's figures transford into the shape of four leaves, then those leaf-shaped figures began to spin. As they whirled, they dazzled Wang Xiaoqiang, and while he was still dazed, they charged at him.
This was the Chiba Sect's Four-Leaf Formation.
The Chiba Sect was indeed a sect of female cultivators. When recruiting disciples, they not only exclusively accepted won but also only chose girls with Spirit Roots, specifically those who were beautiful, for the purpose of facilitating the use of the many formations of the sect.
The Chiba Sect had many formations, including the Four-Leaf Formation, Six-Leaf Formation, Ten-Leaf Formation, Hundred Leaf Formation, and the Thousand Leaf Formation.
The Four-Leaf Formation required four won to form the formation, the Six-Leaf Formation six won, the Ten-Leaf Formation ten won, the Hundred Leaf Formation a hundred won, and the Thousand Leaf Formation a thousand won.
From the Four-Leaf Formation to the Thousand Leaf Formation, as the number of people in the formation increased, so did its power. It was said that once the Thousand Leaf Formation was complete, even soone at the Immortal Venerable Stage could not break through.
Whether it was the Four-Leaf Formation or the Thousand Leaf Formation, the essence of the formations was to apply Bewitching Techniques. Then, as the enemy was chard, the formations would unleash a deadly attack.
Wang Xiaoqiang, now enchanted by the Chiba Formation, found himself in a perilous situation, on the brink between life and death.
Suddenly...
"Roar!"
A mighty roar thundered. It was the Patterned Beast, sensing the danger Wang Xiaoqiang was in. With a loud roar like a clap of thunder, it startled Wang Xiaoqiang out of his trance. (To be continued.
