Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 349 A powerful body

Liang Jin was stared at closely by these huge eyes, and his heart trembled suddenly in an instant.

A terrible thought flashed through his mind: This giant snake ate his shed skin, could it be that it was coveting his flesh and blood and wanted to swallow him into its stomach as well?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly explained, his voice spreading in a unique way in the water:
"One of our own!"

"Remember that day? We just met!"

If it were an ordinary person, he would naturally be unable to speak in the water.

But Liang Jin is proficient in sound skills. He can skillfully generate sound waves through internal vibrations and make them propagate smoothly in the water.

He had no grudge against the giant snake in the past or recently, and he really didn't want to fight with it for no reason.

Perhaps the giant snake really understood what he said and did not show any aggressiveness.

After looking at Liang Jin carefully, it swam over slowly, circled Liang Jin's body twice, and then stretched out its forked tongue and gently touched Liang Jin's body several times.

Although its attitude towards Liang Jin was not as intimate as that towards Yu Linglong, at least it did not seem to show any hostility.

Liang Jin thought to himself:

"Could it be that it saw me shed my skin and thought I was one of its kind?"

"This is outrageous. We look worlds apart. This giant snake seems quite human-like. It shouldn't make such a mistake."

Although full of doubts, Liang Jin did not dare to let his guard down in the face of this silent but powerful being.

Although he had never seen this giant snake attack, the aura and pressure it exuded was too powerful. Liang Jin was well aware of its danger and did not dare to slack off.

After circling Liang Jin several times, the giant snake seemed to have satisfied its curiosity.

Then, it twisted its huge body, turned its head slowly and swam away.

The huge figure quickly sank into the dark sea and disappeared.

"Leaving now?"

Liang Jin was surprised. He didn't expect that the giant snake came so suddenly and left so quickly.

However, these powerful mythical beasts have always had their own unique personalities and pride, and it is difficult to understand their thoughts unless one spends a long time with them.

Moreover, judging from the direction it was swimming, it seemed to be heading towards the shore, and it seemed that it was preparing to return to Hualong Island.

Only when the giant snake completely disappeared and could no longer be seen did Liang Jin breathe a sigh of relief, secretly thanking his lucky stars that the giant snake did not attack.

Especially when he saw it obediently come ashore and return to the island, Liang Jin felt that his prediction made during the day had come true. Even if he couldn't get any credit in return, at least he wouldn't be harassed by Li Xueqing and others again.

As the giant snake left, the powerful pressure also dissipated.

It was only then that Liang Jin noticed new changes in his body.

The new skin on his body was becoming tough at an astonishing speed.

In just less than a quarter of an hour, the discomfort Liang Jin had previously felt due to shedding had completely disappeared.

At this time, the touch of his new skin has returned to the same as before.

Not only that, along with the changes in his skin, Liang Jin clearly felt that his whole body was undergoing earth-shaking changes.

Whether it is bones, muscles, or internal organs, they are all rapidly improving to a stronger level.

Just like animals often become stronger after shedding their skin, Liang Jin now had this experience firsthand.

At this moment, he felt as if he had undergone a complete transformation.

Not long after, he noticed that his five senses became more acute and his body became lighter and more flexible.

He knew that this was due to a significant improvement in his physical strength.

Not only that, Liang Jin's cultivation level also quietly improved.

Before, he was still a little short of the late fourth level, but now he has successfully entered this realm.

However, compared with the huge changes in the physical body, the improvement in cultivation seems less obvious.

Obviously, the efficacy of this Red Blood Body Refining Pill is mainly focused on strengthening the body.

"The effect of the Scarlet Blood Body Refining Pill is so immediate!"

"I just don't know what level of strength I have reached now."

Liang Jin was full of curiosity and decided to try it himself.

Since we are going to test it, we naturally have to test the strongest force.

At that moment, Liang Jin's internal energy surged chaotically throughout his body, filled with a violent aura.

"The King's Armor-Removing Skill", full on!

"The Great Method of Hundred Evils", fully open!

In an instant, Liang Jin's body continued to expand and grow, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a violent giant with bulging muscles.

His eyes turned into vertical pupils, and his body was covered with a layer of shiny black scales.

"what?"

"I've actually undergone a new transformation."

Liang Jin looked at his body in surprise.

In the past, when Liang Jin's clone entered the Hundred Evils Body state, its height could reach more than three meters.

But at this moment, his height exceeded four meters, which was much taller than before.

Not only that, his muscles swelled even more terrifyingly, and his entire body was a full circle larger horizontally than before.

Although this made him look a little bloated, this bloat contained a terrifying explosive power that was chilling to the bone.

At this moment, he was like a human tank, as if he could easily crush any obstacle in his way.

Liang Jin stood firmly on the seabed and threw a punch.

The Dawn Fist spirit was instantly integrated into it!

Punching in water is completely different from punching on land.

When Liang Jin threw this punch, an extremely powerful shock wave was instantly generated.

Although the propagation speed of shock waves in water is slower than in air, the energy carried by this shock wave is extremely huge because the density of water is much greater than that of air.

The energy spread rapidly in a spherical shape with Liang Jin's fist as the center.

The surrounding sea water was instantly pushed away by this powerful force, forming a huge and rapidly expanding water ball.

The water pressure inside the water ball drops sharply, causing bubbles to form rapidly in the water, resulting in a phenomenon similar to "cavitation".

At the edge of the water ball, the sea water is squeezed strongly, forming a high-speed water flow.

The speed of the water flow suddenly soared to an extremely high level, causing a huge impact on the surrounding area.

The surrounding reefs were easily shattered by the impact of this current, as if they were hit by a cannonball.

The nearby fish schools suffered a devastating disaster at this moment. Countless fish were smashed to pieces and died on the spot.

"boom!!!"

The force of Liang Jin's fist was transmitted to the seabed through the sea water, creating a huge dent on the seabed.

This is just the impact on the seabed.

In the water, Liang Jin's huge fist force will be transmitted upward and eventually reach the sea surface.

"Wow!!!"

On the sea, a huge column of water suddenly shot up into the sky, like a huge fountain.

When this column of water, over ten meters high, fell, it made the sea surface seem like a torrential downpour. With one punch, the mud and plankton on the seabed were stirred up, causing the water to become extremely turbid.

Liang Jin felt the power of this punch with satisfaction, and secretly marveled in his heart:
"My physical strength has increased by 80%!"

"It's worthy of being the divine elixir Elder Qing Nang mentioned. The effect is simply amazing!"

The effect of the Red Blood Body Refining Pill far exceeded Liang Jin's expectations, which made him feel deeply moved.

If he had taken this Red Blood Body Refining Pill earlier, he would not have been so seriously injured by King Tuxie when Ximo's clone and King Tuxie exchanged punches.

"Test my defense."

Liang Jin thought in his heart, and with a flip of his hand, a long sword was taken out from the [Props Bar] and appeared in his palm.

This is just an ordinary fine steel sword. Although it is of good quality, it is not a magic weapon.

Liang Jin raised his sword and slashed at his arm.

In an instant, the huge impact force caused waves in the water.

What was shocking was that the long sword shattered into pieces in an instant, while Liang Jin's arm was intact, without even a scratch on the skin.

This was the result of Liang Jin relying entirely on his physical body to block the long sword without using any internal force at all.

"It seems that I am now invulnerable."

"I'm afraid that only those magical weapons can hurt me."

Liang Jin thought about it and immediately took out the Youlong Sword.

This time, he was not as reckless as before, but tried to cut gently with the sword first.

The Youlong Sword was extremely sharp, but even so, Liang Jin had to struggle to cut off the scales on his arm.

Finally, he slashed his hand with the sword hard, finally cutting off the scales and injuring the skin.

A streak of crimson blood slowly spread in the sea water, but soon disappeared.

"Ok?"

"My self-healing ability has improved so ridiculously!"

Liang Jin was surprised to find that the skin that had been cut by the Youlong Sword had stopped bleeding and healed quickly.

Although it was just a minor flesh wound, the healing speed was truly amazing.

"Am I still considered a human being now?"

Liang Jin looked at his huge four-meter-tall body, his heart full of doubts.

However, Liang Jin has never been too lazy to think deeply about such philosophical questions.

Anyway, as long as he feels that he is a human being, no matter what he becomes, he is still a human being in his heart.

"It seems that the magic weapon can indeed hurt me, but it will take some effort."

"Coupled with my powerful self-healing ability, if I activate defensive techniques like the 'Iron Cauldron Golden Body Technique', my defensive capabilities will probably reach an exaggerated level."

"Unless the opponent's realm is much higher than mine, at least like Tu Xie Wang and his group of second-grade masters."

"Otherwise, within the third rank, I would have been hard to find an opponent."

Liang Jin was originally only invincible in the same realm.

But now, he has enough confidence to roam freely at a level higher than his own.

He once defeated Wang Zhi, who was a third-grade cultivator. However, Wang Zhi had just broken through to the early third-grade stage at that time, and his realm was not stable enough, so he could only be considered a pseudo-third-grade cultivator.

A true third-grade master must be someone like Wuliang Dharma King, Bai Qiuying, and Ming Cangwu.

It was really difficult for Liang Jin to win against these real third-grade masters at that time, and he was completely unsure of himself.

But now, Liang Jin has enough confidence to defeat them.

However, there are only a few situations that may cause him trouble.

Or the enemy's lightness skills are far superior to his, and he keeps moving around, trying to engage in a war of attrition with his internal strength.

But this situation is unlikely to happen. After all, Liang Jin's "Stepping Wind and Shadow" has been practiced to the maximum level. It is almost impossible for a mere third-grade cultivator to surpass Liang Jin in lightness skills.

Or the enemy would directly compete with him in internal strength, relying on the deeper internal strength of the third rank to suppress him.

But as long as Liang Jin does not compete with the other party in internal strength, he does not need to worry about this situation.

The most likely scenario is that the enemy will outnumber us.

Liang Jin would be in trouble only when multiple third-grade warriors surrounded him.

However, Liang Jin still believed that as long as he was determined to escape, he would have a chance to get away.

"If I were to face a second-grade enemy, I might not be able to defeat him, but I shouldn't have a problem protecting myself and escaping."

"The gap between the second and third rank is ridiculously huge."

"It even feels like the gap is more than just a huge one."

Liang Jin still felt a lingering fear when he thought of King Tuxie's profound and terrifying skills.

But he quickly laughed at himself.

As a fourth-grade warrior, he is invincible in the same realm, and can even dominate a realm beyond it, not taking the third-grade warriors seriously. This is already very remarkable.

And he actually wanted to challenge the second level which was two levels higher?
This is a bit too unrealistic and too much to hope for.

Even a third-grade warrior as strong as Bai Qiuying couldn't withstand a single blow from King Tuxie.

It was an extremely exaggerated thing that Liang Jin, a mere fourth-rank official, could protect himself and escape from King Tuxie.

"If I had known that the Scarlet Blood Body Refining Pill was so effective, shouldn't I have agreed to Li Xueqing's bet on the duel?"

A master of Li Xueqing's level is definitely the top among the third rank.

Liang Jin believed that neither Wuliang Dharma King nor Bai Qiuyun was a match for Li Xueqing.

But Liang Jin felt that he was now capable enough to challenge Li Xueqing.

Although Li Xueqing is a martial arts expert with strong internal strength, and knows a lot of martial arts.

However, her most proficient poison skills had no effect on Liang Jin, who possessed the characteristic of [Immune to All Poisons], which gave Liang Jin a great advantage.

Especially since her natal weapon, the Thousand Dragon Whip, is now in Liang Jin's hands, this will also reduce Li Xueqing's attack power.

But Liang Jin was just thinking about it.

He is now protected by the sect leader, and he can suppress Li Xueqing in a verbal fight, so there is no need for a physical fight, and there is no need to kill this woman for the time being.

"Oh right, I almost forgot to check today's updated intelligence."

Liang Jin was so busy refining the Red Blood Body Refining Pill that he ignored the characteristics of this body [Daily Intelligence].

He immediately opened the intelligence panel, and sure enough, new information had been refreshed on the panel.

[Complete sect missions today: 3]
