"Die." Wang Xiaoqiang coldly shouted, with a thought, the Rain of Sorrowful Swords rushed out from within him, whizzing... piercing toward the six people lunging at him.

The six were already close, and after lunging at Wang Xiaoqiang, it was too late to dodge,

Suddenly a series of thudding sounds rang out, their bodies punctured by the Swords of Sorrowful Death, each of them was filled with those swords, looking like six porcupines.

The six screamed in agony, panic-stricken as they fled toward the cave entrance.

Wang Xiaoqiang released the Patterned Beast, the Demon Droplet, and the Yin Blade; the Patterned Beast pounced on one person, the Wind-Thunder Wings unfolded, and in a single shake, four bolts of lightning shot out, each targeting one of the four,

Boom boom boom boom, four bolts of lightning hit the four accurately, knocking them to the ground,

The Demon Droplet bypassed a person, drilling straight into their back, while the Yin Blade slashed at another's neck.

In the end, the six fleeing fell to the ground, some dead, others severely injured, none able to get up.

Wang Xiaoqiang released Ge Laoda and Little Yin, who moved with his will, surrounding and holding those not dead, preventing their escape.

Wang Xiaoqiang strode to the front of the Freak and Niulan Mountain, who were seriously injured but not dead. Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang approach, they lifted their heads to glare at him, faces showing venom.

"Those who oppose me never meet a good end, hmph." Wang Xiaoqiang snorted, shaking his head, "Niulan Mountain, Freak, I truly pity you. Doing well, yet seeking death? Wouldn't it be better to be my lackeys? Although your cultivation is suppressed by the Yin Fiend, if you follow me, serve me, I can keep you alive, even thriving. Yet you chose to oppose me..."

"Brother Qiang, he, he incited me," Niulan Mountain suddenly changed his expression, showing grievance and innocence, pointing at the Freak.

"Bullshit, you willingly did it. You said Brother Qiang was unreliable, and convinced me to join in assassinating him..." the Freak argued, retorting sharply.

"Brother Qiang, I'm loyal to you, my only mistake was trusting this traitor," Niulan Mountain showed regret.

"Brother Qiang, don't listen to his nonsense, he's no good," the Freak also showed remorse, heavily accusing Niulan Mountain.

The two began accusing each other.

Wang Xiaoqiang folded his arms, leisurely and playfully watching them, patiently listening, then said, "Done talking?"

"Brother Qiang, you..." Now seeing Wang Xiaoqiang seemed uninterested in sparing them, fear and despair appeared on the Freak and Niulan Mountain's faces.

"I've given you a chance, but you didn't cherish it, so you can't blame me for being ruthless. Besides, your cultivation is not weak, such a death is wasteful, might as well nourish my Sword Spirit..." Without further hesitation, Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand, the Penglai Immortal Sword flew out, piercing from top to bottom into Niulan Mountain's body, then the Sword Body glowed, the Sword Spirit screamed with joy, absorbing Niulan Mountain's Essence Blood visibly, absorbed into the Sword Body, the Sword Spirit gradually solidified...

Niulan Mountain let out a painful, despairing wail, hearing that scream, the Freak turned pale with fear, trembling all over, wishing Wang Xiaoqiang had taken him first, sparing him this dying fear and agony.

Anticipating Wang Xiaoqiang would not spare him, he would endure Niulan Mountain's pain, he decisively bit his tongue and ended his life.

Seeing the Freak take his life, Wang Xiaoqiang, to prevent his Essence Blood from coagulating, waved his hand, and the Penglai Immortal Sword lifted Niulan Mountain's body, landing on the Freak's, then descended, piercing them completely through, their bodies strung together like grasshoppers, pitiful yet absurd.

Then...

Their Essence Blood was absorbed together by the Sword Spirit, solidifying as it absorbed, now in Transformation Form, but still ethereal, only with further Essence Blood absorption and solidification could it manifest into a True Body, then separate from the Sword Body, existing like a human.

The Freak couldn't escape his final moments of pain either, wailing in despair with Niulan Mountain.

Under the Sword Spirit's absorption, their bodies became two dried corpses, no more screams, no more life, thus perished.

Having absorbed their Essence Blood, the Sword Spirit shrieked excitedly, its voice turning real and powerful, solidifying more, stepping closer to the Solidification Realm.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze turned to the others still alive, but saw they had bitten their tongues in fear to end their lives.

With their death, their cold blood was no use to the Sword Spirit, Wang Xiaoqiang had no choice but to give up,

With a gesture, the Penglai Immortal Sword flew back to him, Wang Xiaoqiang grabbed it, his fingers caressing the Sword Body, like stroking a lover, then stored it in the Sumeru Ring.

Then, he retrieved the Yin Blade and Demon Droplet, the Demon Droplet after absorbing that person's Essence Blood was now blood-red and translucent, its demonic power surging.

Wang Xiaoqiang then thought, and the Patterned Beast, Ge Laoda, and Little Yin excitedly pounced on the eight corpses, devouring them like a storm.

Then Wang Xiaoqiang collected the Patterned Beast, Ge Laoda, and Little Yin, returning to Biluo Heaven Restaurant nonchalantly.

No one knew, in his Storage Ring, he held two significant women captive, Fang Yuyan and Aunt Mei.

In the following three days, Wang Xiaoqiang, to prepare for the next competition, began strengthening his various spell techniques,

Due to a Heavenly Tribulation, his Flash Lightning, Holy Path of Courage, and Thunderclap Annihilation Palm grew more powerful than before, likewise, the Patterned Beast's Wind-Thunder Wings strengthened, evident from slaying four of the Seven Freaks of Jianghu.

The Sword Spirit also solidified after absorbing Niulan Mountain and the Freak's Essence Blood, growing stronger. As for the Demon Droplet, each strike returned glazed with blood, converting Essence Blood to demonic power, strengthening itself.

Wang Xiaoqiang then focused on enhancing the five realms within the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique, which required understanding. Given his current state, naturally, first bolstering the "Light of Joy,"

Enduring a Heavenly Tribulation, benefiting from misfortune, strengthened his spell techniques, abducted Fang Yuyan and Aunt Mei, shaming the Fang and Chu families, avenging his enemies, killed Niulan Mountain and Jianghu's Seven Freaks, erasing all evidence, also enhancing his Sword Spirit with their Essence Blood.

With all this, recent events were joyful, how could Wang Xiaoqiang not be pleased? Furthermore, having Fang Yuyan and Aunt Mei as playthings when the desire arose, how joyous,

In cultivation breaks, he would also play around Biluo City with the Yuu Family Sisters, truly having his cake and eating it too, deepening his understanding of the "Joy" realm over these days.

As his comprehension deepened, the Light of Joy grew, from basin-sized to tire-sized, its radiance brighter, its power greater.
