Chapter 1547 - 1550: Desperate Bounty Hunters
The moment they heard the elder's words, the eyes of many bounty hunters present lit up. After all, one of the five tigers in the cultivation world, Zuo Lianghao, came from Hidden Sword Villa. Although it was rumored that he lost to Shen Qiang during the sword array duel, and hence gave up his status as the young master of Hidden Sword Villa and joined Heshenghe.However, almost all cultivators know that when talking about sword arrays in the cultivation world, the strongest is undoubtedly Hidden Sword Villa, and the user of the Infinite Sword Formation is unquestionably Zuo Lianghao. So at this moment, even though they had already seen the unfolding of the personal space.
In the sky, densely packed surgical knives had already filled the air, but compared to Zuo Lianghao's iron swords, the visibly smaller surgical knives seemed significantly weaker in terms of perceived power.
Upon hearing the elder's words, many bounty hunters couldn't help but shout to bolster their courage.
"Ha, I, as a Mixed Element Realm expert, even if Zuo Lianghao were here, he dream of killing me, let alone this inferior imitation of the Infinite Sword Formation, which surely couldn't kill me.
"Exactly, no matter what, Shen Qiang's cultivation is no higher than the Yang God Realm. If he is truly as formidable as Zuo Lianghao, why use small surgical knives instead of a large sword?"
"Hehe, Shen Qiang is bluffing with the Empty Fortress Strategy to scare us. Come on, let's make our move, finish him off!"
Many bounty hunters shouted provocatively.
Meanwhile, Wenren Meiqiao, beside Shen Qiang, looked at the countless surgical knives, each no bigger than a ladle, feeling somewhat worried. She then said, "Shen Qiang, your knives are too small, I'm afraid they won't suffice. Why not leave it today and wait until you can control those real swords and blades to fight them?"
Hearing this, Shen Qiang chuckled, "A brick is big, a bullet is small, who dares to say bricks are more powerful than bullets?"
Wenren Meiqiao was taken aback.
Meanwhile, under Ji Wei and Ke Bizhu's protection, the beautiful campus belle Qin Yurou safely returned to the resting area of the ranch, frowning as she looked at the many flying knives in the sky, and said with faint worry, "Even though I've heard Shen Qiang's achievements in sword arrays seem higher than Zuo Lianghao's, the operation of a sword array is far more complex than alchemy. Can Shen Qiang really take on hundreds alone?"
Hearing her worries about Shen Qiang, Zong Zijin, envious and resentful, snorted coldly, "Shen Qiang knows zero about sword arrays. Don't forget, the Saint once said, no one is omnipotent, knowing too much means lacking focus, and naturally, one cannot truly master anything. So don't be deceived by Shen Qiang's arrogant demeanor now, it's just a facade. If it truly comes to a fight, his lame sword array probably isn't even as powerful as fireworks."
Qin Yurou gave him a cold glare.
And at this moment, stirred up by the leader, dozens of met cultivators charged at Shen Qiang, controlling their swords.
In the distance, in the forest,.
A woman with a graceful figure and a purple mask, stood poised on a branch protruding from a large tree, spoke coldly, "Leader, are you really not going to help Shen Qiang? Among those bounty hunters, aside from one who has revealed himself at the Dao Fruit Stage, there's another lurking in chaos. If we don't help and let that person get close, Shen Qiang will be in danger."
"No help!" The leader of the Illusion Demolition Group, wearing a blue mask, leaned sideways against another tree, spoke unusually calmly, "Also, I'm reminding you, I am the group leader, Shen Qiang only self-titled as the deputy, so you better not be foolish enough to defy my orders for him."
The woman with a graceful figure and purple mask fell silent at his words.
And meanwhile, the leader with a blue totem mask said, "If Shen Qiang dies in battle, or is severely injured, it'll be a prime opportunity for us to reclaim the mask. Since he doesn't listen, this is the simplest way to kick him out of the group, take back the Fury Mask, and find other members. So be prepared, once Shen Qiang gets injured or falls in battle, we must reclaim the mask immediately, then seize Heshenghe."
"Understood." The other two members of the Illusion Demolition Group responded respectfully.
Only the woman with the purple totem mask remained silent and did not respond.
Meanwhile, the many bounty hunters' flying sword magical treasures furiously attacked Shen Qiang and Wenren Meiqiao on Ye Guyun's back, but their attacks left Shen Qiang overwhelmingly disappointed.
Because compared to Ye Guyun, the leader of the ancient four great beasts, Qiongqi, they were indeed too weak.
Not even in the same rank.
There was no need for Shen Qiang to make a move, as their flying sword magical treasures couldn't even touch either of them.
The only thing that posed any threat was perhaps the elder. His sword never left his hand, nor did he use the sword control technique, but the occasional sword qi he emitted always managed to predict Ye Guyun's trajectory, causing a bit of trouble.
But ultimately, it was just sword qi, and with Wenren Meiqiao holding double blades in front, it was impossible to harm Shen Qiang.
This caused Shen Qiang's initially high battle intent to gradually diminish.
Three Talents, Four Symbols, Seven Stars, Eight Trigrams, Five Elements, Six Paths, growing more bored, Shen Qiang, with each sword array move, at least caused one bounty hunter's death. For a while, calmly conducting slaughter, Shen Qiang even found himself getting drowsy.
Because for Shen Qiang, it was truly so boring.
It felt as if he had already trapped the enemy in a well and was throwing stones down from above, each throw killing one, another throw, and another one dead, throw again, three died...
"Is that really how Zuo Lianghao kills? Does he find it exciting? What is this? It's so uninteresting, not even close to the thrill of smashing them with a fist."
Thinking helplessly in his heart, but Shen Qiang's sword array kept releasing relentlessly.
After all, to be honest, this sword array is like acupuncture, Shen Qiang knows too much. Previously at a lower cultivation level, without Ye Guyun by his side, Shen Qiang had vaguely thought relying on this thing for a fight might not work well.
This time though, using it in a real battle.
Only then did Shen Qiang clearly realize, it seemed he might have overestimated these bounty hunters.
With the various germs from the Plague Source, combined with Ye Guyun and his surgical knife version of the Infinite Sword Formation, these bounty hunters, in a head-on battle, whether flying swords or magical treasures, couldn't match Ye Guyun's speed, and thus couldn't even touch Shen Qiang.
On the contrary, Shen Qiang's Infinite Sword Formation, imbued with the power of heaven and earth stars, coupled with Ye Guyun's speed, led to the vast majority of Mixed Element Realm bounty hunters being unable to dodge and becoming corpses amidst the chaos.
This one-sided situation made Shen Qiang feel a bit bored, but the previously fierce bounty hunters who declared they wouldn't let Shen Qiang off, were already in despair.
"Old rascal, give your life! If it weren't for you saying this imitation wouldn't hurt us, we would've fled long ago!"
Following a bounty hunter's angry shout, Shen Qiang on Ye Guyun's back saw in shock that the desperate bounty hunters had started to turn on each other.
