Hearing Ali's words, Qian Shanxue was stunned.

After her shock, Ye Xiaolei said anxiously, "Disaster Level? Then isn't he even more formidable than the Colonel!"

Hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed through Qian Shanxue's beautiful eyes, "I really want to have a sparring match with a guy who possesses such strange abilities! It seems we did underestimate him before, this is truly something to look forward to."

Ye Xiaolei's eyes lit up, "Has the Colonel already recognized Shen Qiang's abilities? But he is only at the Qi Condensation stage."

"I will wait very patiently," Qian Shanxue said with bright eyes, "because I really want to challenge the power of a Disaster Level threat!"

"If you wait for him to grow, the Colonel won't be his match," said Ali, her complexion pale, "Those at the Nascent Soul Stage of Cultivation, although far weaker than you, are still Cultivators. Unless you become an Immortal, immune to disease, no one could win against him in a duel."

"Oh?" Qian Shanxue's eyes shone brightly, "Maybe not necessarily!"

...

While Qian Shanxue and others were reviewing the situation at the scene,

Shen Qiang, who had been driving, had already returned to his place.

Su Xiaonuan on the bed was already sound asleep.

Standing in the shower,

letting the cold water pour down.

Shen Qiang's gaze was more determined than ever.

Because the thing he was most worried about had still happened!

Ever since Shen Qiang started engaging in Cultivation and Alchemy, his biggest fear wasn't that the elixirs weren't good enough, nor that they couldn't sell for a good price, and even less about slow progress in his cultivation.

It was the fear that one day, his loved ones would be used as chips for threats.

His parents were fine.

Lv Shuyao was fine, Su Xiaonuan was fine, and Xin Xiaoting was fine.

But the one in trouble turned out to be Gao Hui.

It was the result of many coincidences coming together.

If the person under threat had been Shen Qiang's parents, or the woman Shen Qiang dearly loved, what would he do?

What if he couldn't save her?

Would he live with regrets for the rest of his life?

In such a situation, the only solution was to deter anyone thinking of targeting them by ending their hopes completely.

Kill one to warn a hundred, kill a pair if two come.

Beyond that, the other solution was to plant powerful bodyguards around them.

And to achieve either option, Shen Qiang not only needed to become stronger, he also needed to become very rich!

"High bounties can tempt bounty hunters on the platform to take risks, so surely high salaries can also make cultivators willing to be bodyguards. If money is not enough, add more. If that's still not enough, offer elixir pills. If money and pills still don't satisfy, then add a magical treasure!"

"No one is without desires, even immortals are no exception!"

With a clear goal in mind,

Shen Qiang returned to his bedroom and held the drowsy Su Xiaonuan in his arms.

"No one can take my family away from me, I promise!"

...

At one-thirty in the morning,

Qian Shanxue, who had brought Ali and Ye Xiaolei back to Shen Qiang's residence, appeared in a morgue that looked very advanced.

A middle-aged man in a white lab coat and bald head came out with a stack of reports, glanced at Qian Shanxue, and handed her the reports, saying, "Ali's report is accurate. We detected the same bacteria in the bodies of the deceased."

"H7N9, pneumococcus. According to the test results, the deceased's bodies didn't even have time to produce antibodies, so I can assure you that from infection to the onset of the disease, they only went through a very short process."

"Does this mean he really has control over diseases?" Qian Shanxue's eyes shone.

The bald man was silent for about a second or two before saying, "Whether he has control over diseases, I cannot confirm right now. But one thing is for sure, up to this point, we can confirm that he possesses both avian flu and pneumococcus."

"Based on the test results, these victims had imbalanced intestinal flora, but it is still uncertain whether that is a complication following the onset of pneumonia and avian flu."

Qian Shanxue asked seriously, "Are you suggesting that his power is limited?"

The bald man paused for a moment before responding, "From the current situation, if it is only avian flu and pneumococcus, he is nearly invincible below the Nascent Soul Stage. But for those above the Nascent Soul Stage, with a stable Primordial Spirit during combat, they are unlikely to be affected by symptoms like cough and common cold."

"So unless he can lead the infected to the end of the infection in an extremely short time, these two bacteria wouldn't be much use against cultivators above the Yin God Stage. For instance, you could catch a cold and contract pneumonia, yet fighting for several hours would not be a problem."

Qian Shanxue frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, then said, "What if he controls other diseases as well? Could he possibly defeat me then?"

The bald man raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "That's indeed an interesting hypothesis. Then I can tell you clearly, based on the test results, I believe that the approximate time from infection to onset of the disease would be about one to three minutes."

"Even with the onset of avian flu, it won't lead to instant death, and the same goes for pneumonia. Unless he can truly control the bacteria, letting it infect silently, and when the infection spreads to a certain extent, explode like a bomb, relying on these two types of bacteria alone to kill cultivators above the Yin God Stage would be a fantasy."

"Therefore, when it comes to pulmonary diseases, if he wants to use the same method to challenge the strong, to significantly affect cultivators at the Yin God and Yang God Stages, he would need diseases like tuberculosis or bronchitis at the very least."

Qian Shanxue's eyebrows knit together slightly, "I'm at the Mixed Element Realm."

The bald man laughed, "In fact, bronchitis and tuberculosis can affect your combat power, just not so severely. If there is an acute onset and his cultivation is nearly as high as yours, trust me, you would be the one to die."

Qian Shanxue frowned slightly, "His cultivation is not high now, and though his talent is decent, by the time he cultivates to the Mixed Element Realm, I will have already broken through to a higher realm. This means his bacteria would be ineffective against me."

Hearing this, the bald man laughed, "Colonel, I would advise you not to think like that! Speaking of pulmonary diseases, even if his cultivation doesn't grow any further, once he masters asthma, believe me, even you won't be able to survive in his presence."

Qian Shanxue was astonished, "Really?"

The bald man smiled somewhat helplessly and said, "Please trust my judgment, it's definitely not wrong. So this is a very dangerous guy, even if he is a member of the Dragon Group. My personal advice is that he should be kept under stringent control."

"But obviously, the big shots up top don't seem to think so, even feeling somewhat pleased with his emergence. They are completely unaware that if this guy goes berserk, he will bring about a catastrophic disaster!"
