Just as Wang Xiaoqiang and his companions were slaying monsters, a group arrived in the skies above Serpent Platform Town. Judging by the numbers, there were over a hundred people.
Leading them was an elderly man.
The elder looked to be a hundred years old but had a youthful face and white hair, exuding an aura of immortality. He held a Dust Whisk in his hand.
Beside him, there were a crowd of both n and won with varying cultivation bases. The cultivation bases of these hundred individuals were all at least at the Immortal Venerable Stage.
"Immortal Elder, the demon race is too rampant. We've only been gone for three months, and they've co to slaughter the townspeople again..."
A young man with a clear and handso face spoke angrily.
"Eh? There are over a hundred Demon Generals. What on earth do these demon species want to do?" Another youthful man, scanning the town below with his Divine Sense, was shocked to find there were over a hundred Demon Generals in Serpent Platform Town.
The Immortal Elder looked down at the demon race below, angrily speaking: "More than a hundred Demon Generals crawling out of their holes, aiming for a sweeping attack on Serpent Platform, huh? The barbarity and cruelty of the demon species are unbelievable. But since they've dared to appear, today we'll ensure they never co back. Qingfeng, Mingyue, form the Seven-Seven Sword Formation and eradicate these demons below..."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The two handso young n who had just spoken nodded slightly, then led forty-seven others to the central position above Serpent Platform Town.
After stopping, these forty-nine individuals each summoned an Immortal Sword.
Forty-nine Immortal Swords were divided into seven groups, each group containing seven swords.
The seven Immortal Swords emitted light in seven colors: crimson, orange, red, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
Then these groups of swords scattered and arranged themselves in an extrely intricate pattern, perfectly enveloping Serpent Platform Town.
In the skies, incantations began to echo.
The forty-nine individuals chanted incantations while simultaneously performing sword techniques.
The colossal sword array was being activated.
From those forty-nine Immortal Swords, seven-colored Qi Swords continuously split off...
...
"Eh? That young man's bow and arrow are incredibly powerful!" A female cultivator beside the Immortal Elder comnted, observing the battle below and seeing Wang Xiaoqiang using the Sun-Shooting Bow to kill a Demon General with one shot. A peculiar expression flitted across her face.
The Immortal Elder gazed at Wang Xiaoqiang's figure, stroking his beard with a smile. "That should be Wang Xiaoqiang..."
"Wang Xiaoqiang?? The challenger for the throne in this year's Armor Snatching Tournant of the Yellow Dragon Empire?"
"That's right, it's him, and he's holding the Sun-Shooting Bow..."
"Sun-Shooting Bow? Isn't the Sun-Shooting Bow the treasured artifact of the Chiba Sect? How did it end up in his hands?" The female cultivator grew more bewildered.
"That, I do not know. However, being able to continuously shoot powerful arrows with the Sun-Shooting Bow, this Wang Xiaoqiang should be a Body Refining Master..." The Immortal Elder pondered, a look of gratification appearing on his face.
"Immortal Elder, the arrows he's shooting seem to have electric arcs..." The female cultivator noticed another anomaly.
"Yes, there are electric arcs. Those arcs have at least doubled the power." The Immortal Elder's face also showed a peculiar expression. "Just how many wondrous techniques does this Wang Xiaoqiang possess?"
...
In the skies, the Seven-Seven Sword Formation had already been activated.
As the formation was powered up, the colossal sword array trembled simultaneously, producing a rumbling sound, and then...
Swish swish swish swish...
Sounds of the sword breaking through the air filled the sky, as Qi Swords descended en masse, striking the demons below.
These Qi Swords seed unstoppable; demon soldiers were directly blasted apart, and even Demon Generals could not withstand them, getting their limbs severed.
"Ah!!"
"Ow!!!"
The agonizing cries of the demon race echoed, filled with fear.
The lucky demons that escaped attempted to flee, but no matter how fast their movent technique was, they couldn't outrun the seven-colored Qi Swords.
The swords fell like rain, bringing a sense of desolation to heaven and earth!
A group of over ten demon soldiers led by a Demon General tried to escape toward the North Sea, but barely had they lifted off when a shower of Qi Swords descended upon them.
Splatter splatter splatter splatter splatter splatter...
That Demon General was torn asunder, and the dozen or so demon soldiers were directly blasted into a series of horrific yet vibrant blood flowers that blossod in the night sky.
...
Seeing the colossal sword array ford in the sky and feeling its imnse power – so much so that even Demon Generals couldn't withstand it – Wang Xiaoqiang ceased fighting and began searching for Demon General corpses to collect Demon Hearts.
Demon Hearts and Demon Crystals within the Barbaric Demon's body were essentially the sa; both contained abundant demonic power.
However, the Demon Heart within demons' bodies contained more demonic power than Demon Crystals.
The refinent thod for Demon Hearts was the sa as for Demon Crystals. The demonic power in the Demon Heart needed to be refined into a pill before consumption, thereby enhancing one's cultivation base.
Therefore, most cultivators, upon obtaining a demon heart, can only store it in a storage ring and then sell it for pills.
Only one person is an exception.
That person is Wang Xiaoqiang. Wang Xiaoqiang's Five Elents Spirit Spring can directly convert the demonic power within the demon heart into spiritual power for absorption.
This saves him a lot of trouble.
However, in the heat of battle, Wang Xiaoqiang had no ti to absorb the demon heart.
The demonic power in a demon soldier's demon heart is too little to catch his interest.
Only after killing a demon general would he take the demon heart, put it in the Suru Ring, and save it for future absorption.
Under the relentless slaughter by Wang Xiaoqiang and his group of five, and the fierce bombardnt of the Seven-Seven Sword Formation, not a single mber of the demon clan invading Serpent Platform managed to escape alive.
The entire army was annihilated.
At this mont, the local cultivators of Serpent Platform began to clean up the demon clan's corpses, comforting and treating the injured civilians.
By the end of the battle, Wang Xiaoqiang had collected ten demon hearts from demon generals and put them all into the Suru Ring.
Wang Xiaoqiang dismissed his avatars and recalled his patterned beast.
At this ti, Guan Qingsi flew over, carefully examining Wang Xiaoqiang with her beautiful eyes. Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was unhard, she secretly let out a sigh of relief. Still, she asked, "Little Qiang, are you okay?"
Wang Xiaoqiang gave her a reassuring smile, "I'm fine, Guanguan, are you hurt?"
"No," Guan Qingsi replied with a slight smile. With a thought, eight avatars gathered from all directions to her side.
Including her true self, there were nine Guan Qingsis in total.
The nine Guan Qingsis standing together looked like nine identical twins, each with the sa height, weight, and facial features.
Seeing nine beautiful won, Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze instantly beca fixed.
He secretly swallowed and thought, if he could be intimate with all nine Guanguan, this life would be worth it!
While Wang Xiaoqiang was lost in his fantasies, Guan Qingsi dispersed her avatars and poked Wang Xiaoqiang's forehead with a white finger, glaring at him, "What are you looking at? Your eyes are glued!"
Wang Xiaoqiang quickly regained his composure and said, "Guanguan, you're so young yet have reached the Eightfold Body of the Immortal Venerable. Little Qiang is truly in awe!"
"You're flattering the wrong person," Guan Qingsi rolled her eyes at Wang Xiaoqiang and pointed at the Immortal Elder standing in the sky, "Save your flattery for him. Whether you can beco an immortal hero and participate in the Supre Ranking Tournant all depends on him..."
Guan Qingsi then told Wang Xiaoqiang about the deeds of the Immortal Elder.
After listening, Wang Xiaoqiang looked up at the Immortal Elder in the sky and praised, "This Immortal Elder is truly like a celestial being."
Just then, Zhao Changtian, Li Xingtang, and Wang Dali flew over.
Zhao Changtian glanced around, seeing that everyone was uninjured, and breathed a sigh of relief. He then summarized, "This ti, the demon clan sent a hundred demon generals to sweep Serpent Platform. With their strength, if not for the Immortal Elder leading the way, we could never have driven them out. Now it's over, the demon clan has been completely wiped out..."
"Brother Zhao, let's go together to et the Immortal Elder..." said Guan Qingsi.
Zhao Changtian was about to agree when he saw the Immortal Elder flying over with his group.
"Haha, the Immortal Elder is still as approachable as ever," Wang Dali said, looking at the approaching Immortal Elder with admiration.
"The Immortal Elder never puts on airs," Zhao Changtian agreed wholeheartedly.
"Haha, Changtian, Xingtang, Dali, Qingsi, Xiaoqiang..." Before even reaching them, the Immortal Elder laughed and said, "Thanks to all of you today."
"Oh, co on, if you hadn't brought people over, we would have been outnumbered and couldn't have done much either," Zhao Changtian said humbly, cupping his hands.
Hearing the Immortal Elder call his na directly, even without the surna, Wang Xiaoqiang was both surprised and felt a sense of intimacy.
How could he know that the Immortal Elder not only had profound cultivation but was also an astrologer who could foresee things? Besides, Wang Xiaoqiang was already a public figure, so it wasn't hard for the Immortal Elder to recognize him.
Immortal heroes are straightforward and open-hearted. Since they are not part of any organization and have no conflicting interests, there is no discord or barriers between them. They greet each other warmly, and those who know each other well will shake hands and reminisce, all with friendly smiles on their faces.
Since Wang Xiaoqiang had not yet joined the ranks of the immortal heroes, he didn't know these people and felt a bit sidelined. Fortunately, Zhao Changtian introduced him, "Immortal Elder, esteed immortal heroes, this is Wang Xiaoqiang..."
"Haha, we all know," the Immortal Elder stepped forward, shook Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, and said, "But Wang Xiaoqiang, you don't know them. Let introduce you..."
The Immortal Elder then introduced each person he brought along to Wang Xiaoqiang.
The Immortal Elder's approachability made Wang Xiaoqiang feel comfortable and deeply respectful.
As the Immortal Elder introduced each person, Wang Xiaoqiang nodded and morized their nas.
Closest to the Immortal Elder were two individuals, one nad Qingfeng and the other Mingyue. Qingfeng and Mingyue were brothers and shared a resemblance, both with handso and refined features.
The female cultivator next to the Immortal Elder was nad Liang Yanfei.
Liang Yanfei seed very familiar with Guan Qingsi, as the two won held hands and whispered, occasionally glancing at Wang Xiaoqiang, seemingly discussing him.
When introducing them, these people all nodded slightly in greeting to Wang Xiaoqiang with sincere attitudes. Only when introducing Liang Yanfei did she cup her hand and say, "Greetings, Lord Marquis."
Wang Xiaoqiang felt awkward and waved his hand, saying, "There's no Lord Marquis here, just call Little Qiang."
"Exactly, there are only immortal heroes here, no ranks, let alone any Lord Marquis," Zhao Changtian said, then asked the Immortal Elder, "Immortal Elder, can Wang Xiaoqiang join our ranks as immortal heroes?"
"Of course," the Immortal Elder replied readily, but his words left everyone stunned. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for it, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.)
