Wang Xiaoqiang had now offended forces like the Chiba Sect, the North Sea Demon King, and Medicine God Valley; however, the calamity brought by the North Sea Demon King had already been transferred to the Chiba Sect,
and in fact, since the Chiba Sect had killed the Yin-Yang Demon Lord, they had received the retribution they deserved.
The North Sea Demon King had launched several attacks on the Chiba Sect, slaughtering hundreds of its members.
In order to preserve its foundation, the Chiba Sect had no choice but to relocate the entire clan.
Because of the fierce battle between the North Sea Demon King and the Chiba Sect, neither power had the time or opportunity to seek revenge on Wang Xiaoqiang.
Wang Xiaoqiang had thus evaded two disasters, leaving only Medicine God Valley as the remaining force against him.
The elite disciples of Medicine God Valley were all masters above the Third Turn of the True Immortal Realm, each with a cultivation base stronger than Wang Xiaoqiang, but because of Wang Xiaoqiang's victory over Lin Zhilun in Medicine God Valley, they were wary, fearing Wang Xiaoqiang's ability to kill beyond his realm. When these twenty elite disciples pursued Wang Xiaoqiang, they did so in groups of three or four.
Wang Xiaoqiang could deal with one person two realms higher than himself, but not three or four, that would be out of the question.
What you fear always comes to pass.
That day, just as Wang Xiaoqiang had finished eating and drinking in a city and was about to ride his Patterned Beast on his way, he saw three youths blocking his path,
These three youths, two men and one woman, were all dressed in the garb of Medicine God Valley.
Upon seeing that they were from Medicine God Valley, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart skipped a beat, knowing they had come to kill him, and seeing that all three were at the Three Layers of the True Immortal Realm, he felt even more despair.
"Wang Xiaoqiang, we are here under orders to capture you. If you know what's good for you, surrender without a fight," the female disciple spoke out.
Wang Xiaoqiang glanced at the female disciple, noting her noble cloud-like hair, her cheeks as white as snow, her picturesque features, and her graceful, wasp-waisted figure, which was strikingly beautiful. And when she yelled in anger, her fierce demeanor carried a cold beauty.
"Don't forget, I've got Huan Qingyi's avatar in my hands!" In this critical moment, Wang Xiaoqiang remembered he still had an ace up his sleeve.
"We are just taking you for questioning; we're not aiming to kill you!" The tone of the female disciple softened somewhat.
"Ha ha, it must be Huan Qingyi who sent you to capture me, right?" Wang Xiaoqiang laughed, "You'd better ask her if she still wants her avatar. If she does, then I accept defeat. If she wants it, let me go, and I will surely return the avatar within three days..."
"Don't push your luck where you could settle for less. A wise man adapts to circumstances. Do you really think we would give you three days to escape from the hands of our Valley Master?" the female disciple sneered.
"That's not for you to worry about. I'm just asking if you agree or not..." Wang Xiaoqiang responded with an uncompromising attitude.
You should know, the importance of an avatar to an Immortal Venerable is profound. The avatar is an extension of the Immortal Venerable's cultivation. For instance, Huan Qingyi is presently at the Onefold Body of the Immortal Venerable Stage and possesses an avatar. If this avatar were to be killed, leaving both body and soul destroyed, then Huan Qingyi would not only suffer backlash, but her cultivation would also fall directly back to the True Immortal Realm.
All previous efforts would be in vain.
One of the male disciples, unable to wait, urged, "Sister Xuechai, why waste words with him? Just capture him outright."
The woman known as Xuechai's expression turned serious as she said resolutely, "No!"
The male disciple pursed his lips, reluctantly closing his mouth.
"I'll report back to the Valley Master before we take any action," Xuechai stated, as she took out a Communication Jade Slip from her Storage Ring and began to converse with Huan Qingyi.
"Reporting to the Valley Master, Wang Xiaoqiang has seized your avatar as a hostage and is making demands. What should we do?"
Huan Qingyi, who had witnessed her avatar being seized by Wang Xiaoqiang, was already furious, and upon hearing that she had actually been taken hostage by Wang Xiaoqiang, she spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood in rage, "That beast, he truly deserves to die. Xuechai, at all costs, you must capture Wang Xiaoqiang alive... I want to use him as an alchemy cauldron."
Wang Xiaoqiang, hearing that the other side was even willing to ignore the life of the avatar to take his own life and wanted to use him as an alchemy cauldron, felt a sinking feeling in his heart and immediately took out the Sun-Shooting Arrow.
Once she received the order, Xuechai gestured to the two male disciples, "Go, capture him alive!"
All three charged towards Wang Xiaoqiang together.
To avoid being overwhelmed by a combined attack, Wang Xiaoqiang had to seize the initiative and take down one of them before they closed in.
Without any hesitation or mercy, Wang Xiaoqiang pulled back his Sun-Shooting Bow to its full extent, aiming at Xuechai.
Xuechai's face changed instantly, and she quickly constructed a Gang Qi Barrier in front of her for protection.
However...
Wang Xiaoqiang's aim with the Sun-Shooting Bow shifted, turning instead to the male disciple next to Xuechai, the one who had just urged her to take action.
The male disciple was impetuous and seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was only at the First Stage of the True Immortal Realm, didn't take him seriously. Seeing the bow aimed at him but with no arrow in Wang Xiaoqiang's right hand, he didn't immediately defend himself.
Even if he had tried to defend himself, it would have been too late.
Wang Xiaoqiang's tactic was a feint; although he seemed to be attacking Xuechai, his actual target was to take that man's life. So, when the Sun-Shooting Bow was trained on him, the Gang Qi Arrow was already hurled in his direction.
Whoosh!
Thump!
The male disciple didn't know that Wang Xiaoqiang held the Sun-Shooting Bow, so he also didn't anticipate the might of its arrows. Only when a Gang Qi Arrow pierced through his heart did he feel a deep sense of fear and despair,
But it was already too late. The Gang Qi Arrow tore through his heart, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his wide-open eyes reflecting his unwillingness to die.
Seeing her fellow disciple killed, Yang Xuechai's eyebrows shot up in anger as she charged straight at Wang Xiaoqiang. The other remaining male disciple, noticing the immense power of Wang Xiaoqiang's bow and arrows, also wisely chose hand-to-hand combat.
However, when both of them lunged at Wang Xiaoqiang, intent on fighting him in close quarters, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't dodge. Instead, he stowed away his bow and arrow and charged toward Yang Xuechai, while the Patterned Beast, following its master's will, let out a loud roar and also pounced on the other male disciple.
Two against two, perfectly matched in strength.
Upon seeing Wang Xiaoqiang ready to grapple with her at close range, a cold smile formed on the corners of Yang Xuechai's mouth. She concentrated Gang Qi in her hands and slapped straight at Wang Xiaoqiang,
Wang Xiaoqiang revealed a playful smile too, then brought out both hands to counter her dual palm strike.
Boom, boom.
Crack!
A thunderclap exploded, electric arcs charring Yang Xuechai's pair of jade hands to a crisp black.
Yang Xuechai hadn't expected that Wang Xiaoqiang could emit the power of thunder and lightning with his meat palms, having taken a serious hit, she was secretly shocked.
"Haha, have another palm of mine," boasted Wang Xiaoqiang. Not only was his Flesh Body Realm more robust than Yang Xuechai's, but he also possessed the divine art, "Thunderclap Annihilation Palm," so he had no issues at all with close combat.
"Ah," Yang Xuechai saw Wang Xiaoqiang attack with another palm without charging up, a palm she sardonically thought of as the 'Rogue Palm Technique' because Wang Xiaoqiang aimed it right at her chest.
A place that Yang Xuechai had never allowed to be touched by anyone now faced assault from Wang Xiaoqiang, the madman. She quickly clasped her hands together, sandwiching Wang Xiaoqiang's palm tightly between them.
"Hey, you're holding it so tight!" Wang Xiaoqiang's face flashed with a mischievous grin,
"Ah, you..." Yang Xuechai's gorgeous face reddened with embarrassment from Wang Xiaoqiang's teasing and she promptly let go of his hand.
But Wang Xiaoqiang was too scoundrelly; seeing Yang Xuechai release his hand, he didn't retreat but instead surged forward, his hand morphing from a palm to a claw and seizing one of Yang Xuechai's.
"Ah, you..." Yang Xuechai hadn't expected such shameless and despicable antics from Wang Xiaoqiang, who even in the midst of battle didn't forget to play the rogue.
Her chest having been violated, blushes spread across her face to her noble, swan-like, tender, and fair neck which also turned a pale red.
"Xuechai, be careful now, if you can't beat me at close range, then I may just do that to you... hehe!" Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled lewdly, his smile as vulgar as one could imagine.
Though she had never been involved in matters between men and women, Yang Xuechai could understand the suggestion in his words. She was teased and infuriated to the point of bursting, shouting out angrily, she summoned her Immortal Sword and slashed at Wang Xiaoqiang.
Wang Xiaoqiang also drew out the Penglai Immortal Sword to meet the attack.
Bang!
Sword light splintered in all directions as their swords clashed with a powerful strike that numbed their hands.
Yang Xuechai had the advantage with a higher Cultivation Base, while Wang Xiaoqiang had the superior Penglai Immortal Sword, which made them evenly matched in combat.
"Take this sword," Yang Xuechai's jade countenance turned cold, her eyes bulging, thrusting her sword toward Wang Xiaoqiang's abdomen.
Wang Xiaoqiang blocked her thrusting sword horizontally, chuckling, "I say, Xuechai, with this reminder, are you worried about me getting hurt? Haha, it seems you do care about me. I really like someone as tender and warm as you..."
Yang Xuechai was both embarrassed and furious from Wang Xiaoqiang's teasing, her inner qi and blood thrown into disorder, her Daoist Heart agitated.
If cultivators cannot maintain a good state of mind during battle, it greatly affects their combat power.
Yang Xuechai was now in such turmoil that all she could think about was killing Wang Xiaoqiang. If she couldn't kill him, then she would take her own life.
With this sentiment, she unleashed another sword strike,
And this time, she didn't issue a warning.
Wang Xiaoqiang blocked again, his face revealing another mischievous smile, "Xuechai, you care about my words that much, huh? I just said you reminded me, and now you stop doing so. It seems that just now you really did want to remind me! Haha, they say that even a couple of one-day shares a hundred days of kindness. We aren't even husband and wife yet, but you are already so loving towards me. Haha, if we don't become husband and wife, it would be a real travesty!"
"Pah!" Yang Xuechai spat, nearly spitting blood from anger and jabbed another sword thrust at him.
Wang Xiaoqiang held his sword vertically in defense and caught her thrust, then teasingly said, "Eh, Xuechai, your spit is fragrant, that must be the legendary Fragrant Ford, haha, wait a minute, I really have to taste it, hahaha..."
Wang Xiaoqiang laughed uproariously, reveling in his success and amusement.
"Pff!" Yang Xuechai spat out a mouthful of blood, having been infuriated by Wang Xiaoqiang to the point of blood qi rebounding and a sweet taste in her throat, she spewed out fresh blood.
Seeing that Yang Xuechai couldn't handle the provocation, Wang Xiaoqiang deliberately taunted her further, "Haha, Xuechai, why get so angry? It's normal for a couple to quarrel. Haven't you heard that a quarrel on the head of the bed leads to making up at the foot of the bed? If you're tired of arguing, let's just settle things amicably. Find a big bed, get together, and make some beautiful memories!"
Upon hearing these words, Yang Xuechai became so angry that she fainted and began to fall from the sky.
Wang Xiaoqiang seized the chance to catch her, cradling her in his arms, he flew down in search of a large bed. (To be continued.
