From being plagued by all kinds of diseases to becoming a high-level martial arts demon god!

Chapter 146 Battle of Pakan

Outside the rift valley, at the Xiting Mountain campsite.

At this moment, the entire camp was filled with high-level martial artists from the entire Tianfu region.

There were also martial artists who rushed over from the Southwest Administrative Region and the Jingzhou Administrative Region upon hearing the news.

There are even top-tier experts with physical strength at level eight!
Xiao Guangyuan, the head of the Crimson Cloud Division and a top-tier expert at the peak of level eight, stood before the crowd at this moment.

He glanced around and slowly set the tone for the next move:
"Whatever lies deep within this rift, we must first wipe out the Thousand Gu Alliance."

Prior to this meeting, he had already explored the depths of this rift valley twice.

Apart from the extremely rich energy and minerals, no other discoveries were made.

As for the legendary remains of a powerful expert at the Divine Realm... they are either in the extremely deep place below the bottom of the rift valley, or they are completely fictitious.

In either case, thoroughly exploring this rift valley and excavating the energy minerals it contains will not be something that can be accomplished in a short time.

Exploring the Rift can be done anytime.

But now, the real problem lies with the Thousand Gu Alliance, which is eyeing the border between Thailand and Myanmar!
After Xiao Guangyuan finished speaking, even if others present wanted to explore the rift valley first, they could only keep quiet.

Because this is the territory of Tianfu Wuan Hall, and Xiao Guangyuan, as the head of the Chixiao Department, is the strongest martial artist in the entire Tianfu!
Seeing that no one had any objections, Xiao Guangyuan nodded slightly and then continued to move forward with the meeting...

……

Deep in the rift valley.

It's hard to imagine that at the bottom of this rift valley, where the red mist is extremely dense and even a seventh-level martial artist wouldn't dare to set foot easily, there is a place with such a high concentration of red mist.

There was actually a level six peak martial artist cultivating within it using the red mist.

Jiang Heng activated the Candlelight Breathing Technique, absorbing the surrounding red mist as if swallowing a whale.

A large amount of red mist rushed into his trachea and lungs, and quickly infected his flesh and blood while Jiang Heng was completely unprepared.

If someone could see inside Jiang Heng's body, they would immediately notice that his lungs had become covered with large patches of red crystals, almost rendering him unable to breathe.

Furthermore, those red crystals continued to spread to other parts of the body.

At this moment, the power of the disease surged into the body and began to clear the lesions in the lung area, always keeping the lesions in a position that was extremely serious, but still some distance from death.

The resulting feedback power was quickly channeled into the [Miasma Cloud - Gu King Body] supernatural ability by Jiang Heng.

This third-level divine ability, although it does not belong to the category of body-refining divine abilities.

However, since it primarily affects the physical body, it can also greatly enhance Jiang Heng's combat power.

"call……"

Jiang Heng exhaled slowly, and red mist surged in front of him.

The proficiency level of [Miasma Cloud - Gu King's Body] on the panel is steadily increasing at an extremely stable rate...

The Dao pattern of the Gu King in his mind became clearer and clearer.

Meanwhile, various experiences and memories related to this supernatural power continuously flowed into his mind.

Nearly ten hours later.

"Om-"

The Gu King's body pattern in his mind seemed to emit a buzzing sound.

Jiang Heng's mastery of this supernatural power has reached a state of perfection.

[Supernatural Power: ...Miasma Cloud - Gu King Body (Perfect)]
"call……"

Jiang Heng exhaled a breath of stale air, then crawled out of the cave on the cliff face, stood still, and a look of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

A third-level divine power at the perfected stage!
It should be noted that the supernatural abilities that an ordinary level six martial artist can cultivate to a certain extent are only at the second level.

The third-level divine ability is one that only martial artists of level seven or above can cultivate.

And most of these so-called "masteries" are only beginners or minor achievements.

Very few people can even reach the Great Completion stage, let alone the Perfection stage.

As for the core bloodline of the Thirteen Caves of Southern Xinjiang, it is only because of their natal Gu that they are able to unleash the third-level Gu King Body.

Now, Jiang Heng is only at the peak of level six, yet he has already cultivated a third-level divine ability to perfection...

With a thought, he tried to activate the Gu King Body Dao Pattern in his mind.

The Dao patterns trembled slightly, and the internal organs furnace began to surge rapidly.

These wisps of blood mist seeped out from the pores of the skin, combining with the overwhelming aura surrounding them.

It transformed into streaks of crimson veins that enveloped the body.

Jiang Heng clenched his fist slightly, and the air in his palm instantly emitted a sharp crack.

He was feeling the changes within himself at that moment.

Even though Jiang Heng is not fully activating this divine power right now, he is only making a slight attempt.

But his increase in physical strength and the intensity of his qi perception...

This is already more than half a day ago, when this supernatural ability was still at the minor completion stage...

"Very strong!"

A surge of immense power coursed through his body, and Jiang Heng's eyes flickered slightly.

With such a powerful boost, I wonder if he can stand up to a martial artist at the early stage of level seven...

He pondered for a moment, then shook his head, dispelling the blood vessels on his body.

They crawled back into the cave on the cliff face.

We are still missing the two supernatural abilities: [Miasma Cloud - Fog Realm] and [Miasma Cloud - Shadow Escape].

Once you have cultivated both of these supernatural powers to perfection.

He could then try to break through the black rock on the ground, extract the energy liquid within, and attempt to break through to the seventh level of physical cultivation...

With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Heng immediately activated the Candlelight Breathing Technique, inhaling and exhaling the surrounding red mist.

It is transformed into feedback power, which is invested in improving the proficiency of these two miasma-related divine abilities.

Compared to the third-tier Gu King Body, the proficiency of these two second-tier divine abilities can be improved much faster.

Five hours later.

A day and a night had passed, and the sky overhead was clear and bright.

The light reflected off the dark, gloomy bottom of the rift valley added a touch of brightness.

Jiang Heng opened his eyes and glanced at the data on the panel.

[Supernatural Abilities: ...Miasma Cloud - Gu King Body (Perfect); Miasma Cloud - Fog Realm (Perfect); Miasma Cloud - Shadow Escape (Perfect)]
"Finally finished!"

Jiang Heng nodded in satisfaction, stood up, and regained some of the stiffness in his body caused by prolonged immobility.

Having perfected the Miasma Cloud Shadow Escape technique, I've finally made up for my weakness in speed.

Everything is ready; now we can consider how to break through to level seven of physical strength.

Thinking this to himself, Jiang Heng then turned his gaze to the semi-transparent black rocks behind him.

Under the sunlight, beneath this translucent black rock, a fiery red energy liquid, resembling magma, was slowly flowing.

"I wonder if my current strength is enough to break through this black rock?"

Jiang Heng's heart stirred slightly, and he immediately stepped forward to the black rock, then slowly took a deep breath.

He activated the Gu King Body Dao Pattern in his mind with all his might, and the Internal Organ Furnace started running again.

The surging of vital energy caused the veins all over the body to bulge.

His body, which was originally just over two meters tall, grew to nearly three meters in the blink of an eye!

Wisps of blood mist rose from the surface of his skin, combining with the aura to form a network of blood-red veins that covered his body!
Miasma Cloud·Gu King Body!
An immense pressure descended upon the bottom of the rift valley, and even the slowly surging red mist around it seemed to freeze for a moment!
A power as strong as a mountain coursed through his body. Jiang Heng's eyes snapped open, and he reached out with both hands to grasp the long black staff he carried with him.

Then lift it high.

"drink!"

Jiang Heng let out a low shout, and an immense power poured into the black staff, which crashed down onto the black rock!
Bang!
A deafening roar echoed through the valley, lingering for a long time.

The black rock, which seemed to stand upright like a tree, finally emitted a clearly visible tremor.

"Click——"

A soft cracking sound, but one that was very clear to Jiang Heng, rang out.

Beneath the black staff, the seemingly indestructible smooth rock finally developed a visible crack!

……

Above the rift valley.

Pakhan has been lingering near this rift valley for three days.

Even though he was a martial artist at the early stage of the seventh level, he gradually began to feel the strain of staying in this red mist environment for a long time.

Gazing at the desolate, crimson valley where nothing else existed but the red mist, Pakan's eyes became bloodshot.

"It's one thing for Chayapon to disappear, but those idiots like Mengza can also disappear!"

He muttered a curse under his breath, his mind already extremely agitated.

Originally, Chayapon's disappearance could have been explained as being caused by an energy surge that scattered people.

But no matter how much he explained, he was forced to stay in the Red Mist Rift Valley and search for his whereabouts.

And now, even Chayapon's father, Mengza, and the other two direct descendants of the Wenda family,
They all disappeared together in this Red Mist Rift Valley!

Why is it that when you, Pakan, are searching for traces of Jayapong in the Red Mist Rift, you are alive and well?

But Mengzha and the others disappeared without a trace, as if a stone had sunk into the sea.

In the Zhangyun Cave, some people already suspect that he secretly murdered Chayapeng and Mengzha.

If he still can't find a way to prove his innocence...

In Pakhan's mind, a huge figure sitting on a throne, dressed in magnificent robes, immediately appeared.

Master of Zhangyun Cave, Wuyin Wenda.

Even as a martial artist from a collateral branch, even at the seventh level, I still made such a huge mistake.

If he were to return like this, Kirigakure Onda probably wouldn't let him off the hook...

The problem is, he is only a level seven martial artist at the early stage.

The Tianfu experts who came to explore the Rift Valley in the past two days were at least level seven martial artists, and some were even level eight!

If this continues, he'll be caught by the powerful figures of Tianfu sooner or later!
Yesterday, when he stopped at a cliff, he was almost discovered by an eighth-level martial artist from Tianfu.

If it weren't for his fairly proficient "Misty Clouds and Fog Realm" supernatural power, which allowed him to hide in the red mist...

Otherwise, they would probably already be caught, and their lives would be worse than death...

"Oh shit!"

Pakan gritted his teeth and looked around.

"Logically, it should be in this vicinity..."

As a martial artist from Zhangyundong, he was extremely sensitive to the aura of his fellow martial artists.

He could sense that a fierce battle had taken place nearby.

The losing side in the battle is probably Meng Zha and his group from Zhangyundong!

But apart from some signs of battle, he found no trace of the other side's warriors.

Either this person is still hiding near this rift valley, or they have already left the Red Mist Rift Valley and returned to the Tianfu Administrative Region.

The latter probability is obviously much higher.

But in doing so, he completely lost the opportunity to clear his name.

"Damn it..."

Pakan cursed under his breath, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He was about to use "Mist Realm" again to dive into the red mist and continue his search.

Sudden.

"Oh!"

A muffled sound came from the depths of the valley and echoed for a long time.

Pakan paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked down at the rift valley below.

The dense red fog obscured the view of the valley's depths, but ripples of air surged forth, carrying the red fog as they burst through the rift.

Without a doubt, the sound was clearly man-made, and it seemed to be someone smashing something!
who is it? !
Pakan murmured to himself, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

Was it a powerful expert from Tianfu, or... the martial artist who killed Meng Zha and the others?
A hint of hesitation appeared on Pakan's face, but he finally made up his mind.

"I have a fog barrier; the higher the concentration of red fog, the better my concealment will be."

"Even an eighth-level martial artist would probably have a hard time detecting me..."

With this thought in mind, Pakan immediately activated the mist realm Dao patterns in his mind, and the surroundings were once again enveloped in wisps of mist.
It blended into the surrounding red mist and sank down into the rift valley.

A moment later, he sank to the bottom of the rift and saw the source of the noise.

A tall martial artist, nearly three meters in height, with muscles as hard as refined iron.

"Level six physical body?"

Pakan was slightly taken aback. How could a level six martial artist with a physical body possibly be staying at the bottom of this rift valley?!
He was taken aback and subconsciously moved closer, then saw the fine red veins covering Jiang Heng's body.

It looks strangely familiar.

Wait, this is it!
Pakan's pupils contracted. The core divine power of Zhangyun Cave, the Gu King Body?!

How could a martial artist from the Tianfu Administrative Region be able to unleash the supernatural power of the Gu King Body?!

Various thoughts flashed through Pakan's mind as he continued to observe.

His gaze then locked onto the long black staff in Jiang Heng's hand.

This long staff was the weapon that Jayapong gave to Basong... So this is the person who killed Basong and Jayapong...

Pakan's eyes flickered slightly, and various thoughts surfaced in his mind.

Regardless of whether this person killed Chayapeng or not, capturing him and bringing him back would be a great achievement.

It's unbelievable that an outsider could successfully cultivate the core supernatural power of Zhangyun Cave!

After all, even he wasn't qualified to learn this Gu King Body technique...

Pakan's eyes flickered, and he silently moved closer to Jiang Heng's back.

Even though the opponent was only a level six martial artist, he did not let his guard down and instead adopted the safest approach.

sneak attack.

The crimson mist slowly surged, and Jiang Heng, holding a long black staff, smashed it down on the black rocks on the ground one blow after another.

On the smooth, flat surface of the black rock, cracks appeared and continued to expand.

At this moment, Pakan had quietly arrived less than a foot behind Jiang Heng.

A fierce glint flashed in Pakan's eyes, and he moved abruptly.

His right hand shot out swiftly, aiming for Jiang Heng's back!
Blade-like Dao patterns appeared on his palm, transforming his right hand into a cold, sharp claw that was about to pierce Jiang Heng's back!
Suddenly!
Jiang Heng suddenly turned around.

The long staff that should have landed on the ground in front of him suddenly slammed down towards Pakhan behind him!
