At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

The surface of the Sancha River.

Mu Yang made a grasping motion with one hand, and the enormous water dragon, under his control, tightly entangled the smaller dragon.

"Since both involve controlling water, does the difference in the strength of one's spiritual power determine who can control the flow...?"

Just now, when the little dragon manipulated the water flow to create huge waves, he subconsciously used water control as well.

He suddenly discovered that he could also control the water flow that the little dragon had controlled, and even take away its ability to control it.

The cost is that it will consume more spiritual power than usual.

Fortunately, after being strengthened by the "strengthening the divine soul" technique multiple times, his divine soul power far surpassed that of his peers, and even the little dragon could not outdo him.

only......

"Relying solely on the water dragon is a bit too slow..."

Mu Yang sighed as he watched the little dragon locked in a fierce battle with the water dragon.

The little dragon is indeed a real dragon, with an incredibly powerful defensive scale. While it's not a problem to injure it with the bites of a water dragon, it would probably take a long time to defeat it.

Unless his spiritual power is stronger, he can condense an even more powerful water dragon.

With this in mind, Mu Yang conjured another mini water dragon beneath his feet, which carried him rapidly toward the little dragon.

Seeing Mu Yang approaching, the little dragon's eyes blazed with hatred. It tried to unleash its Water Dragon Tail again, but was forcefully interrupted by the Water Dragon.

Taking advantage of this moment, Mu Yang took a step forward and leaped from the top of the mini water dragon's head to in front of the little dragon.

The Seven Injury Force: A Combination of Strength and Softness!

"Bang!!!"

The Seven Wounds Force's hard force, which pierces armor, and its soft force, which penetrates the body, act simultaneously on the little dragon's forehead.

In an instant, the scales shattered.

The little dragon's resentful eyes suddenly cleared.

Even the torrential rain that covered the sky seemed to fall silent.

The dark clouds dispersed, and sunlight shone down on Mu Yang, gleaming golden in the reflection of the river.

On the shore, Huang Can and the others looked at Mu Yang with admiration.

Especially the people of Sancha County who witnessed the whole thing were filled with fervor as they looked at Muyang, who was radiating golden light.

Some even knelt on the ground, shouting "River God above!" as if they wished they could immediately erect a statue of a god for Muyang on the spot.

In the past, Fu Rui would have simply thought the people were ignorant and foolish, but now, he began to doubt whether the so-called gods, if they really existed, were really nothing more than that...

............

On the other side, in the center of the Sancha River.

Mu Yang lightly touched the ground with his feet and landed back on the water.

"The Seven Injury Technique is really useful..."

Looking at the dead little dragon, Mu Yang sighed once again.

Previously, even with his combination of Spider Spear, Sharp Gold Tiger Claw, and Blue Crab Claw, he could only barely shatter the little dragon's scales.

To seriously injure it, it would probably take dozens of blows.

But when the Seven Injury Force was used instead, it shattered his brain in a single blow.

Sure enough, no matter how powerful a demon's physical body is, its brain can't be hard.

Unfortunately, time was limited, and he could only equip a few fifth-tier pills. Otherwise, if he had more time, he could have equipped a few meridian-opening techniques.

After a silent sigh of regret, Mu Yang waved his hand, preparing to put the little dragon's corpse into his sleeve pocket.

"Hmm? Can't put it away?"

Looking at the lifeless corpse of the little dragon still floating on the river, Mu Yang frowned.

That shouldn't be the case. The little dragon is completely dead, so why can't it be stored in the sleeve pocket space?

Just as Mu Yang was puzzled, he suddenly sensed a faint life force in the little dragon's abdomen.

Mu Yang went to the belly of the little dragon and placed his hand on it. Sure enough, he felt a slight vibration from inside.

It's just like the fetal movements of a pregnant woman.

"This dragon is male, isn't it...?"

The green-shelled female crab, known as the River Goddess, is definitely female, so the little dragon that she's with must be male.

Why is there movement in my abdomen?

Did they eat some kind of monster before they came?

Mu Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.

Oh right, there's still one fourth-tier demon that we haven't found yet. It might be inside the little dragon's belly!

What a pleasant surprise!

Thinking this, Mu Yang brought his five fingers together, and with the Spider Spear and Sharp Golden Tiger Claw working together, he began to cut open the little dragon's abdomen.

As the scales shattered and the flesh tore apart, a putrid stench, a mixture of gastric juices and undigested matter, assaulted the senses.

A moment later...

"This is...a person?"

Looking at the two disheveled figures he had "delivered" through a cesarean section, Mu Yang was filled with questions.

Two figures, enveloped in protective shields of true energy, fell through the smooth cut and plunged into the river with a splash.

The two were of different heights, one tall and one short.

The taller one floated face up on the water, his chest heaving rapidly, his face filled with the excitement of surviving a disaster.

The shorter one frantically flipped over in the water, spitting out mouthfuls of river water mixed with stomach acid.

"Waaaaah, senior brother, we're alive!!"

The short Hao Ben wiped the water off his face and sobbed hoarsely.

After being swallowed by the dragon, he truly believed his life was over. He never imagined he would see the light of day again!

The tall Di Ren first took a deep breath of the outside air, then looked at Mu Yang and thanked him gratefully.

"Many thanks to this senior from the Demon Slayer Division for saving my life!"

"Yes, yes, thank you so much for saving my life, senior!" Hao Ben immediately expressed his gratitude after realizing what had happened.

In his excitement, he wanted to give Mu Yang a big hug, but Di Ren grabbed him by the back of the neck and scolded him in a low voice, "Look at yourself now, don't get your senior's clothes dirty!"

After saying that, he looked at Mu Yang, bowed, and continued, "I am Di Ren, an inner disciple of the Fen Shui Sect, and this is my junior brother Hao Ben."

"We were originally following our senior uncle to Qinghe County to participate in the blessed land selection. When we passed through this place, my junior brother sneaked out alone to test his sword. He accidentally entered the cave at the bottom of the river and encountered that dragon and the green-shelled crab demon."

"I wanted to save him, but I didn't expect that both my fellow disciples and I would be swallowed by that dragon. Fortunately, our sect's martial arts are special and have a protective effect. We managed to save our lives by using the Water-Dividing True Qi to create a protective shield."

"If it weren't for the timely dissection of the dragon's belly by our senior, we probably wouldn't have survived tonight."

As he spoke, he bowed to Mu Yang.

Encountering a dragon in a small town is already quite absurd, but being swallowed by a dragon and then successfully rescued is even more outrageous.

"Yes, yes, thanks to your divine power, senior! Otherwise, my senior brother and I would probably have become this dragon's dung!"

Hao Ben felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of turning into a lump.

"Oh, right!"

Hao Ben seemed to have thought of something, and casually opened the sleeve pocket at his waist.

A demonic corpse covered in sword wounds appeared on the surface of the water.
