In the valley earlier, Shen Qiang broke through Zuo Lianghao's sword array.
Although he conceded and some disciples of Hidden Sword Villa died, in reality, Shen Qiang did not cause any substantive harm to Zuo Lianghao in the valley, as Zuo Lianghao always maintained his distance, never entering the range covered by the Plague Source.
After all, the coverage of the Plague Source is only 130 meters. Within this range, Shen Qiang wouldn't dare guarantee he could kill cultivators above the Dao Fruit Stage, but those below, whether they are cultivators or demons, Shen Qiang could easily kill them.
But Zuo Lianghao was very calm and clear-headed. He had a very arrogant and conceited appearance but was not the type to charge forward recklessly after a few taunts, thinking he could win.
Beneath the arrogant and conceited exterior, he was exceptionally cautious.
As soon as the situation seemed unfavorable, he would immediately retreat.
