Hearing Shen Qiang's words, Mr. Zhang, with his overwhelming number of supporters, burst into laughter and said, "Shen Qiang, I didn't expect that you, at death's door, would dare to be so arrogant."

Facing the scornful gazes of the Zhang family members, the corners of Shen Qiang's mouth revealed a faint smile as he said, "This is not arrogance; it's confidence."

"Very well, you're confident, you're awesome, but don't rush. You first refused my twenty-five million for half of Datong River, and then you publicly mocked me as an idiot. These two accounts, I will settle with you slowly. Even if you wish to die, I won't let you breathe your last breath so easily."

Mr. Zhang, eyes gleaming with pride, then shifted his gaze toward the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing behind Shen Qiang and exclaimed with amazement, "Wow, this is truly incredible. It turns out that our gourmet world's number one beauty, Miss Chu Qing, is actually a Fox Demon."

"Beautiful." Mr. Zhang flicked his wrist and pulled out an exquisitely packaged box from his storage ring, then opened it.

Shen Qiang glanced at it. Inside the box was a very delicate collar, next to which lay a stainless steel chain.

"Be my little bitch," Mr. Zhang excitedly declared with a gleaming look in his eyes. "Kneel before me to please me, satisfy me, and I guarantee that no one in this world can hurt you. If you refuse, I will force you by violence, and if you dare to run, I will expose your identity, and then many would come to exterminate the demon."

With an arrogant expression, he tossed the box with the collar toward Miss Chu Qing and smugly said, "Put it on yourself, then crawl over to me."

Smack!

Xiu Ju, standing beside Shen Qiang, caught the box thrown by Mr. Zhang. With a squeeze of her jade hand—bang—the collar and chain turned into a pile of junk.

"Did Bianyi tell you that?" Shen Qiang asked with a raised eyebrow.

Mr. Zhang laughed, "Smart."

Shen Qiang also smiled and said, "You really are a fool."

Taking a deep breath, Mr. Zhang said, "It seems that you two are indeed a nuisance; I'll deal with you first."

"You're preparing to make a move before the conversation is even over?" Shen Qiang laughed and said, "Don't you want to be an informed ghost before you die?"

Mr. Zhang sneered, "Tsk, at death's door and still so chatty. Speak then, I'll give you thirty seconds."

Shen Qiang laughed, "It won't take that long. Under the stimulation of True Yuan, let me think, I only need about five seconds."

Mr. Zhang was startled.

Almost at the same time, Bianyi, who had already arrived and was hidden in the shadows, anxiously shouted, "You idiot, act now, he's poisoning you!"

At the moment he heard these words, Mr. Zhang was still in shock.

Meanwhile, one of the cultivators beside him happened to sneeze.

Achoo!

At the same time, the corners of Shen Qiang's mouth revealed a sinister smile.

"Take action."

With Shen Qiang's voice,

the air heavily condensed.

Thud, thud, thud, thud!

The explosion of silk threads.

Instantly weaved into a net in just a moment, five cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage were sliced into pieces by the extremely sharp silk threads.

"Kill him!" Mr. Zhang, picked up by the collar of one cultivator and thrown across the river, suddenly finding himself a hundred meters away, roared, "Get his storage ring for me!"

"Heaven and Earth Escape..."

"Blood Drinking Long..."

"Qiankun Borrow..."

Thud, thud, thud!~

The three cultivators who rushed forward intending to use their Techniques, barely started before being sliced into pieces by the silk threads.

Watching Xiu Ju like a tiger entering a flock of sheep,

Shen Qiang, with his back to the Beautiful Demon Fox, said, "Sorry to have troubled you."

The Beautiful Demon Fox smiled, "Are you sure that if you hadn't come today, they wouldn't have troubled me?"

Shen Qiang fell silent for a moment and then said, "Not sure."

Buzz!

A Zhang Family powerhouse of the Mixed Element Realm, wielding a longsword, blocked Xiu Ju and the sound of slaughter paused.

The Beautiful Demon Fox chuckled, "Do you want to harm me?"

"No."

Hearing Shen Qiang's words, Miss Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing laughed, sitting daintily on a chair not far from the door, smiling, "Then don't apologize."

Shen Qiang laughed.

"Slash!"

The Zhang Family powerhouse of the Mixed Element Realm, with a terrifying True Yuan wrapped around his sword, shone like a streak of light.

Xiu Ju pressed her jade hand on his blade and leaped back.

"What an eerie Daoist Skill, weaving a net in the palm to protect it and leverage an escape. Very unusual indeed," the sword-wielding Zhang Family powerhouse scoffed. "But if this is all you've got, you have no chance of beating me."

Standing lithely on the riverbank railing, Xiu Ju laughed, "Is that so?"

Almost as soon as the words dropped.

Xiu Ju darted out.

"Courting death!" The powerhouse's eyes lit up, waved his hand, and the longsword soared, vanishing in a swoosh. The next second, it appeared right in front of Xiu Ju. Xiu Ju caught the longsword with both hands, but the immense impact was like being pushed back by a train.

"Foolish!"

Fellowing Xiu Ju's roar.

Boom!

A gigantic puppet fell from the sky, its only leg like a colossal mallet, fiercely smashed at the Zhang Family powerhouse, arrogantly controlling the sword.

Bang!

The Zhang Family powerhouse, supporting with a single arm, sank down.

Seeing things turning sour, Mr. Zhang roared, "Go, go, go, everyone help!"

The powerhouse standing behind Mr. Zhang, with lightning-like speed, instantly appeared next to Xiu Ju and thud!

His foot, wrapped in furious True Yuan, kicked squarely onto Xiu Ju's shoulder, sending her flying.

This made it impossible for Xiu Ju to control the longsword any longer.

The longsword, instantly released, immediately returned to the hands of the powerhouse.

Almost simultaneously.

In a tremendous roar, the giant puppet punched, sending flying the powerhouse who had ambushed Xiu Ju.

"My heavens, what is this?"

The Zhang Family cultivators watched in astonishment as, in front of Xiu Ju, a gigantic and terrifyingly legged puppet appeared.

Taking steps towards her, Shen Qiang couldn't help but exclaim,

"Wow, so this is the 'Little Fool' that's always been with you?"

Sitting on the puppet's shoulders, Xiu Ju giggled, "Yes, see how well-behaved she is."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Two powerhouses, I need you to hold on for at least three minutes."

"No problem." Xiu Ju answered seriously.

Almost simultaneously, Mr. Zhang roared, "Dream on! You're in the Mixed Element Realm; they are too. In a two-on-one situation, you'll never survive three moves, so I advise you to give up resisting now, hand over Shen Qiang to me, and, out of recognition for your considerable cultivation, as long as you submit to me, I may spare you from death."

Hearing this, Xiu Ju laughed, her clear laughter ringing distinctly through the dark night. After laughing, she said very seriously, "You're mistaken."

As everyone watched in astonishment.

They were horrified to see both Xiu Ju and the puppet beneath her open their mouths and say in unison, "We're not alone!"

And the voices were Xiu Ju's and another eerie female voice.
