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

The golden pupils of the Flowing Wind Golden Eagle suddenly contracted.

It didn't even have time to think about why it, with its "illusion-seeing" golden eye, had fallen for the trap.

A sense of crisis from the depths of its heart made it want to frantically flap its golden wings.

However, it found itself unable to move.

It wasn't the stiffness of being controlled, but rather a feeling similar to being bound by ropes.

The Golden Eagle subconsciously looked at itself and realized that, without its knowledge, a thick, jet-black chain, like a black venomous snake, had bound it tightly.

Under the pressure of the two low-grade forging inscriptions of sealing and suppression, its body was no longer light, and its demonic energy was somewhat sluggish.

At this moment, it was no longer the little demon king soaring in the sky, but rather a duck or goose waiting to be slaughtered, utterly powerless to fight back.

"It seems your eyesight isn't very strong!"

Mu Yang looked into the Golden Eagle's dazzling golden eyes, which were filled with terror, and slowly grinned as he watched the other's trembling pupils.

The Golden Eyes are indeed not omnipotent. If the spiritual power of the two is vastly different, the Golden Eyes will naturally be useless.

However, just like demons, martial artists rely primarily on their physical strength. Even if they have opened the five spiritual apertures and the life aperture, and possess the spiritual power of ten cups of wine, they cannot render its golden eyes ineffective.

unless......

Mu Yang's soul aperture has been opened!

Grass! !

Didn't Dad say that there are almost no human martial artists in Liangzhou who have opened their soul apertures?!

My dad has ruined me!

"Spare me...spare my life! My father is the Demon King of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. If you kill me, Ten Thousand Demon Mountain will not let you off, and you will suffer the same fate..."

The golden eagle threatened, its words a fierce but inwardly cowardly display.

However, before it could finish speaking, Mu Yang stepped on its body, clenched his right fist, and burst forth with golden light.

Indestructible Vajra-like body, rise!

"Bang--!!!"

A flash of golden light, followed by a deep, resounding sound.

The golden head of the Flowing Wind Golden Eagle dented in a large area, its pleas for mercy abruptly stopped, and curses gradually emerged.

"Bang--!!!"

With another punch, its head completely collapsed, its eyes began to glaze over, and its cursing stopped abruptly.

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

Inside and outside Medicine King Valley, all was deathly silent.

Only torrential rain of blood fell from the sky to the earth.

No, to be precise, it only sprinkled, it didn't water the earth.

With a wave of his hand, Mu Yang caused the thick blood plasma that had spilled from the Golden Eagle to gather in his palm as if attracted by a magnet, forming a blood sphere.

Purple entry: Water Control!

These are all feeds to help Xiao Hei advance, so we can't waste them.

Mu Yang casually put the corpse and blood sphere of the Flowing Wind Golden Eagle into his sleeve pocket.

Then, he glanced at Lu Zongsong, who was "dumbfounded," and said, "Stop looking, continue."

As he spoke, Mu Yang once again raised his black gold four-sided mace and charged towards the completely bewildered disciples of Medicine King Valley.

Lu Zongsong:.........

Even Lu Zongsong, who is usually expressionless, looked like this, so you can imagine how the people around him looked.

Zhao Xian had already regarded Mu Yang as a 'god', his eyes burning with a fervor as if he were on a pilgrimage.

I personally witnessed the journey of a garrison commander!

At this moment, Gu Lingyun's gaze towards Mu Yang was as bright and sparkling as the stars in the night sky.

Even Xiao Cui, who had always been at odds with Mu Yang, had a flushed face, slightly unfocused eyes, and her hands on her chest, seemingly lost in thought.

However, the one who was most surprised was Gu Tingquan.

The others, limited by their cultivation and experience, could only see that Mu Yang was strong, but had no idea just how strong he was.

But Gu Tingquan was different; he...

Well, actually he didn't realize just how strong Mu Yang really was either.

But one thing he was certain of was that this person was an unparalleled genius!

Looking across Liangzhou, and even the Great Jing Dynasty, probably no one can compare!

Even if they exist, they'd probably only be those resource-rich monsters in the Central Plains Imperial City.

But even those monsters probably couldn't have a body as hard as a dragon while also possessing a soul strength so much greater than that of the Flowing Wind Golden Eagle...

Physical prowess, terrifying strength, soul-searching attacks...

Could such inhuman martial artists really have been born in their remote Liangzhou?

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

Time flies, and the sun soon moves from its midday zenith to its afternoon descent.

During this period, Mu Yang successfully harvested a batch of wild pouches from "Medicine King Valley".

To be honest, this place is truly a treasure trove; even small sleeve pouches can be 'produced' here.

Unfortunately, this stuff is a one-time thing; once it's harvested, it's gone.

After Zhao Xian and the others arrived, Mu Yang stopped the killing spree. It wasn't that he was tired of it; he had simply killed all those with cultivation levels of four or higher.

He didn't even bother killing the other lower-ranking disciples, who didn't even have a small pouch.

He simply took some time to collect the ten mountain-crushing crossbows from the mountain.

To be fair, the quality of these Mountain-Crushing Crossbow entries is quite good.

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

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

After glancing at the entry for the Mountain-Crushing Crossbow, Mu Yang carried Xiao Tusi, who was still breathing but not far from death, to a secret room.

"Is the treasure the Golden Eagle was talking about right here?"

Mu Yang looked at the small secret room in front of him.

Without waiting for Xiao Tusi to speak, he slammed his fist into the stone door of the secret chamber.

The stone gate, which was strong enough to withstand the impact of a sixth-order demon, cracked open so easily.

Inside, the treasures of Medicine King Valley are displayed in a dazzling array.

However, what interests Mu Yang the most is the treasure that the little demon king, the Golden Eagle of the Flowing Wind, has his eye on.

Half-dead, Xiao Tusi looked at Mu Yang and spoke in a barely audible voice, "The Blood Jade Lotus is inside, but you'll never get it in this lifetime, hahahaha!!"

As he was speaking, the sound of a bowstring snapping suddenly rang out from his body.

As the sound rang out, true energy immediately emanated from Xiao Tusi's body.

"Discarding one's own internal energy?"

Mu Yang glanced at her and immediately realized what Xiao Tusi was doing.

It simply means abolishing the remaining major meridians and acupoints, and dissipating all the true energy in the body.

He became a complete and utterly useless person.

Even though he didn't destroy his own inner energy, he was already a cripple.

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Xiao Tusi coughed up a mouthful of blood.

But the thought of what he was about to see flushed his pale face, and his voice became much louder.

"That Blood Jade Lotus is a rare treasure. It's inside that mechanism box, but to open it, you need the exclusive Qingnang True Qi of my Medicine King Valley, and it must be top-grade Qingnang True Qi!"

"Without superior-grade Qingnang True Qi, forcibly opening it will only trigger the mechanism, causing the Blood Jade Lotus inside to burn!"

"Hahahaha! Do you know why I agreed to bring you here? I wanted to see the anger and regret on your face as you held the treasure so close yet couldn't have it..."

"Pat~"

A sudden sound rang out in the empty, secret room, interrupting Xiao Tusi's monologue.

The intricately crafted box in Mu Yang's hand slowly opened, revealing a pure white lotus flower inside.

Xiao Tusi: ? ? ?

Mu Yang casually took the Blood Jade Lotus out of the mechanism box and examined it carefully.

Finally, he looked at Xiao Tusi, a smile playing on his lips, and kindly offered a reminder.

"Don't worry about me, you continue."

"No, you... how could you open it?" Xiao Tusi was dumbfounded.

This magic box was passed down from their ancestors, specifically for storing rare and precious medicines.

The only way to open it is to input superior Qingnang True Qi, but why is Mu Yang able to open it?

"Maybe it's because I'm handsome."

Mu Yang put the Blood Jade Lotus and the mechanism box into his sleeve pocket and casually said something.

"You...you...you..."

Xiao Tusi's face turned from red to white instantly. He raised his hand tremblingly, pointed at Mu Yang, and stammered for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence.

In the end, before Mu Yang could even make a move, he was overcome with anger and coughed up a mouthful of blood, dying instantly.

"Is he faking his death?"

Mu Yang walked forward uncertainly and punched him on the head.

*Smack!*

If Xiao Tusi, who lost her head, could be resurrected, Mu Yang thought it would be good to let her live again.
