Mu Yang stood atop the lifeless, striped tiger demon, withdrew his hand, casually wiped the tiger blood splattered on his face, and turned to look at Huo Xing.

It was just a simple action, but when paired with his blood-stained black clothes and his burning gaze, Huo Xing's heart skipped a beat.

In an instant, he felt like prey being targeted by a ferocious beast, and his hands and feet trembled slightly.

"Am I scared?"

The thought crossed Huo Xing's mind, but he shook his head repeatedly.

He is a sixth-level martial artist with half-demon blood, an amazing physique, and extraordinary talent. Even when facing a top-tier demon with a dragon bloodline, he has no fear.

How could a mere human being, a human being with some strength, possibly frighten him!

"roar!!!"

Huo Xing suddenly shouted, and his true energy surged wildly around him.

Under his full power, tiger-skin-like stripes appeared on the skin of his arms and face.

"What is this!?"

Apart from Liang Qing, Lei Xing, Lu Chengxian, and Mu Yang, almost everyone else showed surprise.

"It's a half-demon!"

Only Xu Hong of the Canglan Sect exclaimed in surprise.

He had seen records about half-demons in the sect's ancient books.

These creatures, neither human nor demon, appear no different from ordinary people in normal times, but reveal their true, strange appearance when excited or injured.

Moreover, most of them are stronger than martial artists of the same level.

Whether it's incredible strength, exceptional agility, or many other things, the list goes on.

"No wonder he had no psychological burden at all in cooperating with the demons; he really is a beast!" Hao Ben exclaimed.

Normally, upon hearing the word "beast," Huo Xing would have given Hao Ben an unforgettable experience.

But now, he only has eyes for Muyang.

He even subconsciously ignored Liang Qing and Lei Xing, two genuine sixth-level martial artists.

The dread that emanated from the depths of his blood left him no time to think about anything else.

What puzzled him was that after killing the spotted tiger demon, Mu Yang stood on the tiger demon's corpse without making any other moves, just watching him.

Could it be...?

Is this a side effect of an abnormal outbreak?

Huo Xing's eyes lit up.

Yes, that must be it!

How could a fifth-tier human martial artist possibly kill a sixth-tier demon unscathed!

It must have been that the opponent used a secret technique with unimaginable side effects, which allowed them to take advantage of the tiger demon's unpreparedness and kill it.

Now that time has passed, it may seem harmless, but in reality, it is already at its last gasp.

Thinking of this, Huo Xing's trembling limbs miraculously returned to normal, and a cruel smile even appeared on his lips.

"not good!"

Even Huo Xing, who was terrified, realized the problem, and Liang Qing, who was not far away, naturally guessed it as well.

Without hesitation, he drew his knife and charged at Huo Xing, shouting to Lei Xing, "Elder Lei, leave Huo Xing to me. As for Lu Chengxian, I'll leave him to you..."

"Bang!!!"

Before Liang Qing could finish speaking, a deafening stomping sound suddenly rang out.

To Liang Qing's astonishment, Mu Yang, who had just been standing on the corpse of the striped tiger demon, actually moved!

The chosen target is still Huo Xing!

"You think you can fool me?"

Seeing Liang Qing and Mu Yang attacking together, Huo Xing shouted.

Having already concluded that Mu Yang was at his limit, he merely raised one hand to try and block Mu Yang's fist, focusing all his attention on Liang Qing, who was rapidly approaching.

Are you planning to use a feint attack to deal with him?

Did you really think he hadn't studied military service...?

"Bang--!!!"

Just as his mind was racing, an overwhelming force, impossible to resist, came from his right palm.

What kind of feeling is that?

It's somewhat like a spear, but with the familiar stinging sensation of claws.

With a short, sharp crack, his wrist was bent into a strange arc, and even the white bones were shattered and cracked, splattering everywhere.

Before Huo Xing could think any further, a blood-stained fist rapidly magnified in his eyes.

The next second...

Seven Injury Techniques!

"Bang--!!!"

The sound of skull shattering rang out, and Huo Xing's large body collapsed to the ground.

Liang Qing was stunned.

Lei Xing, who was about to make a move against Lu Chengxian, was also stunned.

Lu Chengxian stood there stunned, forgetting even to run away.

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

"Thank goodness, I almost missed it..."

Looking at the six pills that had just solidified, Mu Yang withdrew his fist with satisfaction.

The reason he didn't move was because he was distracted by equipping items.

Because of the extremely short time available, he couldn't install martial arts techniques like the Meridian Opening Technique; he could only choose things like pills, sleeve pouches, or Qi Storage Crystals, which didn't take up much time.

Just as he was pondering which equipment to equip first, Liang Qing suddenly tried to steal the monster.

How could he possibly agree to that!

Killing Lu Chengxian would be one thing, since he's just a human and can't be fixed into equipment.

But Huo Xing is not an option.

He's a half-demon!

Even a human-demon hybrid who has been cultivated later in life can trigger equipment solidification, so naturally a half-demon born innately can as well.

So he immediately put the highest-grade fifth-tier pills into his equipment slot and took the initiative.

Fortunately, the result was as he expected.

The equipment has been successfully solidified!

Liang Qing: Huh?

"Whoosh—!!"

Just as Liang Qing and Lei Xing were in shock, Lu Chengxian, having regained his senses, immediately tried to use a movement technique to escape.

She was very fast, and the Wind and Cloud True Qi of the Wind and Cloud Sect was known for its speed. In the blink of an eye, she had covered a considerable distance.

Even judging from the explosive power Mu Yang just displayed, it would probably take him quite a bit of effort to catch up with Lu Chengxian, who was running at full speed.

"Still trying to run?"

After glancing at the distance between them, Mu Yang raised his hand and unleashed a Soul Howl to hard-control the opponent.

Taking advantage of Lu Chengxian's momentary stiffness, Mu Yang leaped to her side, clenched his fist, and smashed her skull in one swift motion.

Even the spotted tiger demon and the half-demon Huo Xing, who were both monsters, couldn't withstand Mu Yang's punches, let alone Lu Chengxian, who was a human.

Mu Yang felt that even without the Seven Injury Force and other enhancements, his sheer strength of 1700 million jin would be enough to smash her head.
