The red light emitted from the Blood-Eyed Crystal Frog's blood eyes, although it did not penetrate Wang Xiaoqiang's Five-Color Spirit Spring Shield, tightly trapped Wang Xiaoqiang in place without a moment's relaxation.

Seeing an opportunity, the Celestial Silkworm Frog lunged forward, its mouth gaping open like a winnowing basket, and with a whoosh, its long tongue, covered in backward-facing barbs, shot out like a frenzied python, coiling towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang could not simply wait for death. With a surge of spiritual power in his hand, the Penglai Immortal Sword burst forth with blinding brilliance, slashing at the approaching poisonous tongue.

Whoosh!

The Penglai Immortal Sword severed the poisonous tongue in one stroke. Blood sprayed everywhere.

In pain, the Celestial Silkworm Frog let out a strange cry, and its tongue, like a snake that had been hit in its vital spot, retracted back into its gaping maw.

Though the First Level Demon Barbarian Celestial Toad was formidable, it had no power to resist when facing the Penglai Immortal Sword.

"Roar..." Wang Xiaoqiang let out a long howl, rising up to counterattack. His body's Metal Element Spiritual Power exploded, shaking the red light from the Blood-Eyed Crystal Frog that bound the spiritual shield into fragments, reducing it to nothingness.

Before the two monsters could react, Wang Xiaoqiang leaped up and charged towards them. Raising the Penglai Immortal Sword above his head, he pushed the sword light to the extreme. The massive sword light, tens of meters high, crashed down upon the two monsters as Wang Xiaoqiang brought the Penglai Immortal Sword slashing down.

The two monsters saw Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly strike and immediately unleashed their demonic power to defend themselves, but what they hadn't anticipated was that the sword in Wang Xiaoqiang's hand was the uncanny Divine Weapon—the Penglai Immortal Sword. Coupled with Wang Xiaoqiang's Solidification Realm cultivation base, slaying the two monsters was without a doubt.

Whoosh!

The Penglai Immortal Sword struck down from above, first breaking through the demon Qi on the monsters' bodies, then slicing from the back of the Celestial Silkworm Frog all the way down to the abdomen of the Blood Crystal.

It cleaved the bodies of the two monsters in two, with blood spurting wildly, flooding out to form a river of blood a hundred meters long.

The two monsters let out pitiful whines, their limbs twitched twice, and then they lay motionless.

Seeing that he had killed the two First Level Demon Barbarians, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately released 200 Spiritual Springs to absorb the demon crystals of the Blood-Eyed Crystal Frog below, and then, he let True Person of Taiyi and the others out of the Sumeru Ring.

Once True Person of Taiyi and his group emerged from the Sumeru Ring, they found that two powerful First Level Demon Barbarians had been slain by Wang Xiaoqiang in just a short period, their bodies severed in half. They were petrified, and a sense of admiration for Wang Xiaoqiang rose in their hearts, while they also regretted not witnessing his slaying of the monsters.

"True Person, the demon crystal of that monster below has been absorbed by me. For the demon crystal of the other monster, have someone fetch it, and then you all can divide it amongst yourselves..." Wang Xiaoqiang spoke slowly.

"Yes!" Finally snapping out of their shock, True Person of Taiyi, like a servant to Wang Xiaoqiang, humbly acknowledged and then instructed his Nascent Soul Stage disciples to go and retrieve the demon crystal.

Since Wang Xiaoqiang had slain the two monsters, both demon crystals rightfully belonged to him. Now that he was sharing one, everyone looked at him with gratitude.

Especially Zhao Wushuang, her impression of Wang Xiaoqiang inevitably improved a few notches at this time.

As it was a First Level Demon Barbarian, the essence of demonic power in the Blood-Eyed Crystal Frog was naturally richer than that of ordinary demons. Therefore, Wang Xiaoqiang released 200 Spiritual Springs which, as he had expected, continued to expand and contract like a person who had overeaten after absorbing the demon crystal, the five colors rapidly circulating, swiftly converting the demonic power into spiritual power, which then returned to Wang Xiaoqiang's body, resulting in a faint cracking sound...

Pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop...

The 200 Spiritual Springs split into two, becoming 400 Spiritual Springs. These 400 spiritual springs, along with the original 2800, trembled together. Then, the 3200 Spiritual Springs became even more nimble, and simultaneously, the spiritual power within Wang Xiaoqiang's body escalated, making him feel much lighter, as if about to ascend to the heavens, a feeling that once again surged within him.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's strength climbing once again, Tang Mengqi, standing beside him, brought her reddened lips close to his ear and asked, "Little Qiang, how do you absorb the demon crystals so quickly?"

"That question, well, is a secret!" Wang Xiaoqiang did not wish to reveal the existence of the Five Elements Spirit Spring within him, so he brushed off the question.

"I suspect you're a demon yourself, giggle..." Tang Mengqi pinched Wang Xiaoqiang's waist and laughed until she shook.

This laughter drew the gaze of Zhao Wushuang, and on seeing Tang Mengqi's smile, she couldn't help but frown and muttered softly, "Fox Demon!"

Unfortunately for her, Tang Mengqi heard the insult. Already holding a grudge against Zhao Wushuang, she immediately flared up upon being called a Fox Demon, then pointed at Zhao Wushuang and retorted angrily, "Ms. Zhao, who are you calling a Fox Demon?"

"Whoever admits it is who I'm calling!" Zhao Wushuang was no longer polite to Tang Mengqi, her pretty eyebrows set in a firm line as they faced off with cold stares.

"Looking for death, is that it?" Tang Mengqi swiftly drew her Immortal Sword, bristling with murderous intent, its radiant light reflecting off her pretty, yet fierce face.

"Relying on higher cultivation to attack me, are you? If you're not convinced, come and try…" Zhao Wushuang's face turned cold, her delicate jade hand made a gesture, and with a rapt sound, the Ink Snow Sword was summoned before her, equally brimming with murderous intent,

All eyes were on the two women.

Clearly, Zhao Wushuang was a whole level below Tang Mengqi, but everyone knew that the Ink Snow Immortal Sword in Zhao Wushuang's hands was a Divine Weapon. Moreover, Zhao Wushuang could combine spell techniques with the Immortal Sword, unleashing unpredictable and boundlessly powerful attacks that were hard to defend against.

Therefore, this duel was full of suspense and worth looking forward to.

Wang Xiaoqiang saw the two women about to clash, yet he didn't stop them. Watching the two women fight over him filled him with a sense of accomplishment.

Tang Mengqi, seeing that Zhao Wushuang, who was a whole level below her, was not only unafraid but actually challenging her, immediately resolved to teach the woman a lesson. She spurred her spiritual power, and the Sword Light of the Immortal Sword in her hand surged, before she slashed decisively at Zhao Wushuang without hesitation.

Zhao Wushuang harrumphed coldly, gripping her Sword technique and drawing it forward. Instantly, the Ink Snow Sword emitted a ghostly light, confronting the incoming Immortal Sword.

The two Sword Lights collided in the night sky with a boom, scattering lights chaotically. The Ink Snow Sword was struck and flew back, eventually falling powerlessly and implanting itself into Zhao Wushuang's body, while Tang Mengqi also stepped back three paces.

Tang Mengqi hadn't expected that a mere Nascent Soul Stage would have the strength to fight her. In surprise and anger, with a flush of rage on her pretty face, she spurred on her Immortal Sword once again, slashing towards Zhao Wushuang.

Zhao Wushuang knew she was inferior in spiritual power cultivation compared to Tang Mengqi and understood that she couldn't win by directly competing in strength, so she had to resort to trickery to have a chance.

As Tang Mengqi's sword slashed down, Zhao Wushuang flicked her wide sleeves, and with a swoosh, she disappeared on the spot. Then came her delicate shout, "Immortal Sword of Illusionary Snow!"

Following the delicate shout, the Ink Snow Sword, poised before her, vibrated with a hum and then suddenly transformed into a flurry of snowflakes. The snowflakes, real and surreal, dream-like and illusory, enveloped Tang Mengqi.

Tang Mengqi slashed at nothing again and again, getting caught in the snowflakes transformed from the Ink Snow Sword. She felt like she was in a world of snowflakes, where everything around her was indistinct, to say nothing of catching sight of Zhao Wushuang's figure.

Humph! Petty tricks!

Inwardly scorning the display, Tang Mengqi raised her Spiritual Energy Shield. At the same time, she released her Divine Sense to search for Zhao Wushuang. Fortunately, Tang Mengqi was patient and detailed in her search, refraining from consuming her spiritual power in blind, enraged attacks before locating Zhao Wushuang.

Had it been a male cultivator, deceived like a blind man by someone a whole realm lower using such a technique, rage would certainly have flared, followed by a loss of rationale and blind slashing, leading to a major drain of spiritual power.

Zhao Wushuang's Immortal Sword of Illusionary Snow aimed precisely to deplete the opponent's spiritual power before finishing them off. Seeing Tang Mengqi not falling for it, Zhao Wushuang grew anxious. Hidden in the shadows, she changed her sword technique and silently sent a flurry of Snow Flower Sword Glow toward Tang Mengqi.

However, the Sword Glow could not penetrate Tang Mengqi's Spiritual Energy Shield; instead, it gave away her location. Tang Mengqi's gaze flashed as she slashed her sword toward Zhao Wushuang.

Ah!

The Sword Light cut into Zhao Wushuang's right arm, and blood gushed forth.

Zhao Wushuang clutched her right arm with her left, her complexion turning pale, her expression somber.

Having broken through Zhao Wushuang's "Immortal Sword of Illusionary Snow" and wounded Zhao Wushuang, Tang Mengqi wore a smug smile on her face as she struck with another sword blow.

Just as the sword aimed for Zhao Wushuang's head, a fatal strike, Wang Xiaoqiang's eyebrows twitched, and with a flick of his sleeve, the Immortal Sword in Tang Mengqi's hand was knocked away, sparing Zhao Wushuang from the crisis.

"Are you crazy?" Wang Xiaoqiang glared at Tang Mengqi, then approached Zhao Wushuang, pressing his hand on the jade arm where she was wounded, infusing her with the Wood Element Spiritual Qi to heal her wounds.

As the Wood Element Spiritual Qi flowed in, the wound on Zhao Wushuang's shoulder stopped bleeding and quickly healed.

When Wang Xiaoqiang pressed his large hand on her, Zhao Wushuang's heart fluttered. She turned her face and affectionately gazed at Wang Xiaoqiang, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wang."

"You can actually call me Little Qiang," Wang Xiaoqiang said softly.

Hearing this, Zhao Wushuang's heart warmed even more, and her eyes softened as she looked at Wang Xiaoqiang.

In contrast, even though Tang Mengqi had won, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang healing Zhao Wushuang, with their bodies in such close contact, jealousy surged within her. She almost wished that it was she who had been injured.

As for the fight between the two women, everyone saw it but said nothing. After all, they fought over feelings and over the man Wang Xiaoqiang, so it wasn't their place to intervene. However, they all breathed a sigh of relief that it hadn't resulted in serious harm.

The moon had climbed high, and it was the middle of the night when suddenly...

Boom! Boom!

Two more massive dull thuds came from the ocean depths, similar to the sound of the Heavenly Silkworm Frog and the Blood-Eyed Crystal Frog breaking their seals, but even more powerful. So, at this moment, there was no doubt that the last two demon barbarians had broken through their seals. (To be continued.
