Staring at the Five Assistant Swords shooting up to the sky, everyone was dumbfounded, including Zuo Lianghao, who knew Shen Qiang's strength well. And not to mention the Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa, whose eyes were filled with astonishment as he gazed at the soaring Five Assistant Swords, murmuring in shock.

"Impossible! Gou Mang, Ru Shou, Hou Tu, Zhu Rong, Xuan Ming, Five Assistant Swords gathered, impossible! No one can master the Five Assistant Divine Swords; he's deceiving me. This must be a Blinding Technique; it definitely can't be real!"

The Villa Master's face turned pale.

At the same time, an elder from Hidden Sword Villa shouted out loud, "Illusion, this must be an illusion! No one can master the Five Assistant Swords simultaneously! It's absolutely impossible! Quick, someone come and break this illusion for me!"

Meanwhile.

The one truly feeling a shiver down his spine and a massive shock was Zuo Lianghao.

"This can't be true; it makes no sense. I am the genius of Hidden Sword Villa. From a young age, the Villa noticed my potential and told me to work hard, strive to become a peerless warrior capable of mastering the Five Assistant Swords!"

"But later, when my cultivation reached the Nascent Soul Stage, I realized that the Five Assistant Swords were something no one could control. Hence, I chose the Tomb of Ten Thousand Swords, leveraging the Infinite Sword Formation to gain fame, earning the title of genius among the Five Tigers of Cultivation."

"But!" Zuo Lianghao's eyes suddenly gleamed: "Compared with Shen Qiang, what kind of genius am I? Without the Tomb of Ten Thousand Swords, he can still control thousands of flying knives. As his cultivation grows, he will sooner or later surpass my limit of ten thousand swords!"

"Not only that! He can even control the Five Assistant Swords, how is this possible? How is it possible! Is his Divine Sense beyond five miles? Is he a god? The strongest Divine Sense is three miles! Only fifteen hundred meters is the maximum limit for cultivators!"

"It can't be, he cannot be so much stronger than me!"

Just as the people of Hidden Sword Villa were stupefied.

The new abbot of Doushi Temple, who initially treated everyone's presence as if invisible, suddenly revealed a bright expression from his usual sleepy gaze.

"Such a powerful aura, is this a Divine Artifact?" The abbot of Doushi Temple was shocked watching the Five Assistant Swords in the air, recklessly emitting immense pressure, flaunting its powerful presence, filled with astonishment, "Such overwhelming pressure already rivals the Vajra Maitreya of Doushi Temple!"

"Such a powerful aura!" The many martial monks of Doushi Temple were also filled with horror.

Just then.

A powerful figure from Hidden Sword Villa dashed forward to the formation.

His hands performed a magic technique.

Stomping heavily on the ground, he shouted, "Heaven and earth boundless, Heaven Earth Command Technique, illusions vanquished, break it for me! In urgent accordance with the decree!"

Bang!

With a stomp of his foot, he shattered the colored tiles on the ground.

The powerful True Yuan spread like ripples in water.

Yet, as he looked up, he was startled to see the Five Assistant Swords still there.

The Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa was furious: "Useless, couldn't even break a mere illusion, what use are you! Get out of my way!"

Then he personally grasped the magic technique, employing a method to break the illusion.

After also stomping and shattering the colored tiles on the ground.

He stood stunned, face pale.

The Hidden Sword Villa disciples who were frantically using methods to break the illusion fell silent, each with a face full of shock as they gazed at the Five Assistant Swords in the air, emitting immense pressure without reservation.

Thud!

A disciple of Hidden Sword Villa uncontrollably fell to his knees, trembling, "It's Divine Power! I feel the aura of a god!"

Upon hearing this, all the disciples of Hidden Sword Villa instantly snapped back to their senses.

"To simultaneously use the Five Assistant Swords, it can only be a god!" A disciple of Hidden Sword Villa, trembling, gazed at the Five Assistant Swords in the sky, speaking in awe.

Smack!

The Villa Master standing beside him suddenly gave him a solid whack, causing him to stagger.

Then the Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa coldly shouted in anger: "Alright, Shen Qiang, now that you're caught red-handed, what do you have to say? Return the Five Assistant Swords now!"

Instantly, the people of Hidden Sword Villa instantly became energized.

"Right, you're finished now, Shen Qiang! Daring to flaunt the Five Assistant Swords? Let's see what you have to say now. Do you have the audacity to claim theft with justification? If you refuse, we will fight until you return them!"

"Too arrogant! Too reckless! If this Shen Qiang stole the treasure and didn't display it, we wouldn't have any evidence, but now that he's flaunted the Five Assistant Swords, it's a clear case of theft, if he dares not return them, we'll flatten Heshenghe!"

"Bringing his own demise, don't blame us!"

The people of Hidden Sword Villa shouted wildly.

Shen Qiang smiled, raising his brow calmly, "I said it before, if you want these Five Assistant Swords back, let's see if you've got what it takes."

As soon as Shen Qiang finished speaking.

Shua! Shua! Shua!

Nearly a hundred Heshenghe disciples appeared instantly nearby, although demons, each with strong cultivation.

Their diverse appearances and chilling aura instantly made the Hidden Sword Villa people feel unsettled.

The elder, upon seeing the seemingly unfavorable situation, sensing as if they were surrounded, quickly turned his head and spoke to the new abbot of Doushi Temple, who had not uttered a word but was wearing a Kasaya, with bright eyes: "Honored monk, today's situation is already very clear. Shen Qiang's theft has been caught red-handed, yet he refuses to return it, so please, honored monk, ensure justice."

Upon hearing this, the new abbot of Doushi Temple, who had been feigning ignorance, could no longer hold it in, taking a deep breath and saying, "In principle, I support Heshenghe returning the Five Assistant Swords to Hidden Sword Villa."

Shen Qiang glanced at him and coldly snorted.

Perceiving Shen Qiang's displeasure, the new abbot of Doushi Temple shifted his stance, "However, this world is already predestined in its entirety; the Five Assistant Swords now shine radiantly beside Shen Benefactor, which seems to be the will of Heaven. Why insist on it? Why not look at it openly?

"Know that the Bodhi is not a tree, nor is the Spiritual Realm a platform; originally nothing exists, where does dust alight? Endure for a moment, and calm prevails; take a step back, and the sea is wide and the sky is high..."

Looking at the Kasaya-clad new abbot of Doushi Temple as he talked so seriously, the Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa was nearly boiling with rage.

"Birds of a feather! Return the swords!" The Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa roared furiously, "If you dare say no, I will immediately flatten your Heshenghe!"

Upon hearing these words, Shen Qiang's eyes gleamed brightly, True Yuan moved.

The Five Assistant Swords in the air instantly formed into a Sword Array as if directed by his arm.

Boom!

Everyone present felt the air suddenly become heavy.

Then, in horror, watched the floating Five Assistant Swords, no longer with the full attributes of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, but instead all five swords were shining with terrifying lightning, releasing a dreadful aura like the wrath of the Heavenly God.

"Hidden Sword Villa is most skilled in Sword Arrays; since the Five Assistant Swords came to me, today is the first time usage, so I choose an Emperor's Absolute Sword Array most suitable to my own attribute. If anyone from Hidden Sword Villa can survive my Sword Array, I will not only return the Five Assistant Swords but also personally bow and admit my mistake. But if you lack the skill yet persist in your obstinacy, then pardon me, I will lay you all…"

"to rest here!"
