In the midst of painful wails, someone had already turned on their flashlight.

For a moment, the scene before them not only caused the bounty hunters to panic, but also made Ye Guyun and Xu Nan gasp in shock.

Terrifying!

The numerous cultivators present had large blisters appearing on their necks and the backs of their hands. Not only that, almost at the same time as their panic, with a thud, a bounty hunter fell to the ground. Not only did he fall into a coma, but bright blisters had already grown on the back of his neck and beneath his hairline.

Under the flashlight's beam, the bounty hunters were horrified to see that these blisters rapidly burst, and with the discharge of pale yellow liquid, more blisters were quickly forming.

"Indeed, it's the evolved anthrax bacteria; the toxin's onset speed is at least dozens of times faster than ordinary anthrax bacteria!"

Shen Qiang was astonished.

As he marveled, Ye Guyun exclaimed in shock, "What's happening to them? It looks so terrifying, are they all sick?"

Xu Nan was also full of shock, "Shen Qiang, what are you doing?"

Shen Qiang smiled lightly, "Just what needs to be done."

Hearing their conversation, the bounty hunters suddenly came to their senses, shouting in horror.

"Poison, this is poison! Shen Qiang poisoned us, we are going to die!"

"Who was it that said as long as there's a gas mask, there'd be no need to worry about poisoning!"

"It's over, all over, we've been poisoned!"

Amidst their desperate cries, they looked at each other with their flashlights and were horrified to find that without exception, they were all poisoned.

This terrifying discovery made them scream in madness.

"Shen Qiang, you despicable and shameless scoundrel, what kind of skill is poisoning? If you're brave enough, duel with me one-on-one!" a bounty hunter yelled angrily.

Shen Qiang smirked in contempt, casting a glance at him with a look that said how foolish it would be to even consider engaging in a knife fight when it'd be so easy to kill him.

"Shameless, despicable, vile! You're just a poisoner, I'll fight you with everything I have!" a bounty hunter shouted as he pounced forward.

Bang!

Nearby, Xu Nan's form was like lightning. With a furious punch, she easily knocked him away.

"We were just happily celebrating Spring Festival at home, not only did you come to steal from us, but also threatened to kill us all! And now you're shamelessly cursing my Shen Qiang, do you even have the right?"

Radiating an aura of wildness all over, Xu Nan, who already possessed the strength of the Mixed Element Realm, was now even more imposing with the magical treasure gloves Shen Qiang had given her. For a moment, she not only commanded awe, but the sight of her carried a presence of dominance, exuding the aura of a powerful woman.

This not only made the bounty hunters present feel a chill, but also filled Shen Qiang with joy.

For this was truly the real Sheng Xunan of the New Wanheyuan.

She was so dominant, so assertive, yet in front of Shen Qiang, she was charming, graceful, gentle, and never showed even a hint of being a strong woman, which meant that beside Shen Qiang, she was willing to put everything aside and be just a sweet little woman.

"Brothers, take action, kill Shen Qiang, he surely has the antidote on him!" the lead bounty hunter shouted.

Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled, calmly taking a chair out of his storage ring and sitting in the wild terrain, saying, "You are welcome to try."

In an instant, more than ten bounty hunters rose up.

The pitch-black night sky was immediately illuminated by the brilliance of various magical treasures.

But unfortunately.

Those magical treasures, which should have been magnificent like the stars, became like fireworks, fleeting and returning to nothingness.

Because they were already deeply infected with anthrax bacteria, they had no qualifications to fight with other cultivators.

Though it was just over ten seconds, by this time, they were already showing obvious symptoms of purulent toxemia, with a few falling into convulsions and unconsciousness, clearly displaying anthrax meningitis.

If they didn't run their True Qi at this moment and refrained from engaging in a fight, they might still hang on for a while.

But once they activated their True Yuan, speeding up blood circulation, none could escape the toxemia.

Due to the immense power of cultivators, especially those above the Mixed Element Realm, their True Yuan could complete a small cycle in an instant, their blood circulation speed was dozens of times faster than ordinary people, meaning that symptoms of toxemia, which might take a regular person half an hour, an hour, or even three to four hours to appear, would show on them in just a few seconds.

And septicemia followed toxemia closely.

Myocarditis, kidney failure, pneumonia, meningitis… none of these were something they could resist.

Bang bang bang!

The ten or more people who rushed up met their ends under Xu Nan's iron fist without exception.

Astonished, Xu Nan exclaimed as she looked at the ground full of corpses, "Am I really this strong?"

As the leader of the Ancient Four Great Beasts, Qiongqi, Ye Guyun pouted, "Two of them had already fainted before you even hit them, didn't you notice?"

Xu Nan was surprised.

Meanwhile, the bounty hunters were shocked to see this scene, more clearly sensing Xu Nan's Mixed Element Realm cultivation, which wasn't exceptional in their eyes, and were instantly filled with terror.

"Such a horrifying poison, such a powerful Shen Qiang. This poison is colorless and shapeless, even wearing a mask is useless!"

"If I don't die today, I will surely chop into pieces that lying bastard who claimed that wearing a gas mask would be safe!"

"I can't do it anymore, my heart is pounding, my head is burning, I'm powerless."

As the bounty hunters were filled with terror.

Thud!

A bounty hunter knelt to the ground, pleading, "Shen Qiang, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have coveted your magical treasures, nor those bounties. I truly realize my mistake now. I beg you, spare me, I'll give you all my magical treasures!"

As he spoke, he placed his storage ring before him.

Seeing this, the other dozen or so bounty hunters immediately followed suit, kneeling and handing over their magical treasures, pleading in various ways.

"Shen Qiang, I'll give you all my magical treasures in exchange for sparing my life."

Xu Nan smiled calmly, "It's too late to beg now. You'll die, and the magical treasures will still belong to Shen Qiang."

"Shen Qiang, spare me, and I'll go back and praise your kindness and strength. No one will dare to bother you in the future."

Smiling as if listening to a joke, Xu Nan smirked, "You came to kill Shen Qiang but ended up dying yourselves; this is a warning to others, they'll naturally understand Shen Qiang's strength, no need for you to say anything."

Hearing Xu Nan's words, the bounty hunters fell into despair.

"Shen Qiang, what will it take for you to spare us?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang stood up with a smile, put the chair back into his storage ring, and calmly said, "I am a very kind-hearted person, I never provoke trouble, especially since today is New Year's Eve, a day of celebration, I shouldn't kill. But since you wouldn't let even today pass peacefully, threatening to kill my parents, you can all go die now."

With a wave of his large hand, he put the revealed magical treasures into his storage ring and said calmly, "Heaven values life, and so do I. I've taken your magical treasures, and it won't be in vain; I'll have the monks at Doushi Temple perform three days of Buddhist ceremonies for your release."
