Chapter 2016 - 2019: The Secret of the Qingyun Sword Technique (Fifth Update)

Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, and looking at the crowd behind Shen Qiang, who appeared no different from ordinary people but exuded a faint demon aura, not only did the hearts of those present tremble, but those in the online live streaming room also instantly went into chaos.

"So commanding! Shen Medicine King truly isn't an ordinary person. In such a situation, others might only think about how to resolve it or become angry out of embarrassment. But if that happens, it'll only fulfill those bastards' intentions."

"Indeed, worthy of being the King of Demons. Shen Qiang played this move beautifully. In fact, earlier the Qingyun Sword Pavilion fought a major battle with Heshenghe; although Heshenghe won, many demons died and Qingyun Sword Pavilion suffered even more losses. In this situation, if there's no explanation and they simply merge together, it would surely pose risks in the future!"

"Beautiful! As the King of Demons and the Family Head of Heshenghe, Shen Qiang took a sword to counter Qingyun Sword Pavilion's revenge, calming their anger. Then, he stood up for the demons and punched the Qingyun Sword Pavilion back. Although it appeared as child's play, it was full of ritual, because it meant past grudges were now settled."

In the streaming room, people were discussing incessantly, and many cultivators who had originally prepared to add fuel to the fire and seize the opportunity to sabotage remained silent.

After all, this situation was already a very traditional way in the cultivation world to resolve conflicts.

Take my sword, regardless of dead or alive, hatred ends.

Take my punch, whether alive or dead, the matter is settled.

This was the most common method to understand grudges in the traditional cultivation world.

"My cultivation is at the Dao Fruit Stage, you're in the Mixed Element. I, Kang Youcheng, using the Dao Fruit would be bullying you." The square-faced man coldly looked at Shen Qiang and said, "But besides the Dao Fruit, I will not hold back at all. If you die in one strike, don't blame me in front of King Yama."

Upon hearing this, everyone present became tense.

"Won't Shen Qiang really agree? A cultivator at the Dao Fruit Stage, aside from possessing the Dao Fruit, their True Essence is completely unmatched by the Mixed Element Realm. Once one enters the Dao Fruit Stage, the True Essence is at least three times that of the Mixed Element Realm. Even without using the Dao Fruit, it could easily kill a Mixed Element Realm cultivator!"

"Foolish, a dispute over face. This scene makes me feel like I've gone back a hundred years. Shen Qiang, such a major figure, thinks so highly of someone like Kang Youcheng, almost as if it's sending oneself to death."

"Haha, Shen Qiang, after becoming the Medicine King, has swelled with pride. Qingyun Sword Pavilion is famous for its furious sword cultivators. Without mentioning the sword edge, even the True Essence alone can easily kill. Haha, acting so arrogantly, no wonder he's risking lightning strikes. Compared in True Essence, the Dao Fruit Stage is way superior; what's dropped from their fingers exceeds Shen Qiang's entire True Essence, and he'll be instantly killed by a single move."

In their hearts, those intending to sabotage the alliance thought.

Meanwhile, Shen Qiang calmly took a step forward and said, "Since we have an agreement, life and death follow their own fate. Please!"

Upon hearing this, seeing Shen Qiang's calm demeanor and not using any weapon, Kang Youcheng angrily said, "Draw your sword, Shen Qiang! Don't you have the Divine Artifact Black Blade? Show it! No matter how talented you are in the Mixed Element Realm, you can't catch my sword with bare hands!"

Shen Qiang smiled and calmly said, "Stop the nonsense, there's still proper business to attend to, go ahead, I will use it if necessary."

Instantly, the streaming room erupted.

"Mighty Strong Lord! You're awesome! See, this is the King of Demons, nothing but this and that, if you've got the skills, come on, Strong Lord will take it!"

"My king is commanding!"

"This is truly incredible, not even drawing the sword, catching a Qingyun Sword Pavilion sword barehanded. Tut tut, if this sword is caught and Qingyun Sword Pavilion still has nonsense, I'll be the first to lead the charge to exterminate them!"

Outside the side door of the Heshenghe Building.

Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, Kang Youcheng's face turned cold, and following this, he said coldly, "Such grace, deserving of the title King of Demons, such courage. Even though I see you now somewhat pleasurably, the Kang Family members can't die in vain, I still won't hold back."

Boom!

The furious True Essence soared into the sky.

"With my sword, I slash through Heaven and Earth, roar Qingyun!"

As Kang Youcheng murmured softly, terrifying sword auras appeared on the broadsword.

Qingyun Sword Technique.

Shen Qiang had seen Kang Luoying and the people from Qingyun Sword Pavilion use it before, but today's sword technique was somewhat different.

"Second Master!" Upon seeing Kang Youcheng's sword technique, Kang Luoying's complexion changed. After calling out Second Master and seeing him not respond, she immediately transmitted to Shen Qiang, "Don't take his sword, quickly go back on your word, you can't handle it, that's the Qingyun Sword Technique, the one that can best utilize True Essence, you'll die!"

Upon hearing Kang Luoying's words, Shen Qiang smiled slightly.

The Qingyun Sword Pavilion's sword technique, Shen Qiang had seen it before.

At that time, Shen Qiang thought it was the Qingyun Sword Pavilion's exclusive secret technique and hadn't delved into it. But since obtaining the War God's True Essence skill manual, after understanding the War God's exclusive secret technique, Shen Qiang understood it at a glance.

The so-called Qingyun Sword Technique is actually another form of True Essence application. Different sword techniques are just using or not using True Qi, attached to the weapon, to enhance.

But, obviously, Kang Youcheng, who completely did not understand the intricately crafted usage techniques, could scare other cultivators, even Shen Qiang before obtaining the manual might have been intimidated by him.

But now it's entirely impossible.

Because Shen Qiang, with his Observation Skill activated, had clearly observed that the True Essence wrapped around Kang Youcheng's broadsword was like a mess of iron rings looking fierce, but in reality, none of them were interlinked, nor condensed. This level is entirely insufficient to contend with Shen Qiang.

Smiling, he flexed his palm.

Strands of True Essence, under Shen Qiang's control, quickly spread and wrapped around his hand.

"The War God's manual is profound and extensive. Although the advanced skills thus far are beyond my ability, just using the Coiling technique on one hand is no problem, and that's already sufficient."

Thinking it over in his mind, Shen Qiang gently smiled and calmly said, "Go ahead, don't waste everyone's time."

Upon hearing this, Kang Youcheng's eyes instantly flashed with cold light, not only did he rush towards Shen Qiang at once, but the giant sword imbued with furious True Essence seemed to instantly crush the space between them. Not only did it distort the vision of all present in an instant, but like a volcano dormant for millennia suddenly erupting, that terrifying destructive power made the hearts of many cultivators on site leap into their throats.

"Shen Qiang is finished! Such a fierce sword, it's impossible to withstand!"

"Quick, draw the Black Blade, or you're doomed!"

"Oh gosh, this guy is crazy fierce!"

Just as the thoughts spun in everyone's minds, Kang Youcheng, swinging his sword, roared, "With this sword, I cleanse the humiliation of Qingyun, avenge my family's grudge. Shen Qiang, die for me!"

Boom!

The sword light and Shen Qiang's power collided with a boom, the Gang Wind from the confrontation not only shattered the glass windows from the first to the third floor but also caused the ground to tremble fiercely.

But it was only for an instant.

Wielding the sword, Kang Youcheng suddenly froze.
