[Ding! The Rat Demon Corpse has been equipped!]

As the corpse of Huang Feng disappeared, a warm current of increasing power instantly flowed through Mu Yang's limbs and bones.

This is the effect of the blue tag "Strong Physique".

Under the influence of the warm current, every muscle in his body underwent subtle changes, becoming tighter and firmer.

It is also more powerful.

"Ten thousand jin! It actually increased my strength by ten thousand jin!"

Feeling the changes in his physical strength, Mu Yang was filled with joy.

Both being third-tier rat demons, the white "robust physique" attribute on Gray Two's corpse only increased Mu Yang's strength by 3000 jin.

Unexpectedly, Huang Feng's blue attribute has more than three times the effect of the white attribute, increasing strength by a factor of ten thousand jin!

This caused Mu Yang's single-arm strength to surge again, reaching 35000 jin.

After the "Strengthening Physique" effect takes effect, the "Vital Energy and Blood Boost" attribute, which is also of blue quality, quietly takes effect as well.

Qi and blood surged and roared within Mu Yang's body like a raging torrent. Drops of thick blood marrow, radiating dazzling golden light, condensed in his bones, continuously nourishing his limbs.

"Click—click—!!"

A series of subtle metallic clanging sounds emanated from Mu Yang's body.

The limbs and bones, which were originally only one-tenth of the way from being fully nourished, were visibly coated with a layer of brilliant golden light under the influence of this energy and blood.

Mid-stage Blood Marrow Realm, achieved!

With an additional 4000 jin of strength in one arm, the total strength reaches 39000 jin, just a little short of the 40,000 jin of immense strength.

This is nearly four times the power of an ordinary martial artist at the peak of the Blood Marrow Realm!

"The blue 'Health and Vitality' attribute is really useful!"

After silently praising him, Mu Yang continued to guide the torrent of qi and blood, which had been almost completely depleted, along the bones of his limbs to the bones of his torso.

sternum, ribs, vertebrae...

The bones of the body, as hard as iron, began to slowly take on a pale golden hue as they were nourished by the blood and qi.

If any martial artist at the Blood Marrow Realm were to see Mu Yang nourish half of his torso bones with such speed, they would be absolutely astonished.

"Still halfway there...?"

After a short while, as the newly replenished Qi and blood were exhausted, Mu Yang silently made a calculation.

A blue-quality "Qi and Blood Abundance" attribute has nourished nearly half of his torso and bones. In other words, he is about three high-grade martial arts manuals or a third-tier demon corpse with a blue "Qi and Blood Abundance" attribute to break through to the late stage of the Blood Marrow Realm.

The path of martial arts is temporarily blocked.

He had already packed up all the mid-to-high-grade martial arts techniques in the Qingxi County government office; he could only look forward to the effects of the stats on Gray's corpse.

"Breaking through to the late stage of the Blood Marrow Realm requires two third-tier demon corpses with blue attributes. I wonder how many resources are needed to break through to the peak of the Blood Marrow Realm. The requirements for breaking through to the gold-quality Blood Marrow Realm are really high!"

After a sigh, Mu Yang slowly stood up.

Focusing on the highest quality entries he has seen so far --

A monstrous, bloody storm!

"Let me see just how powerful this purple-quality ability really is."

Mu Yang closed his eyes slightly, recalling the memories that had suddenly appeared in his mind regarding the use of the Demonic Blood Wind.

Soon, as if breathing were an instinct, he mobilized his qi and blood to gather in his throat.

"call--!!"

A jet-black gust of wind suddenly spewed out from Mu Yang's mouth.

Wherever the black wind passed, the grass and trees withered and turned yellow instantly, the soil on the ground sizzled, and even a large blue stone in front of him was corroded away by a thick layer.

The once smooth stone surface became pitted and uneven, as if it had been gnawed by countless insects and ants.

"That's pretty powerful!"

Mu Yang looked at his masterpiece, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Huang Feng's demonic and bloody wind can only slightly corrode the surface soil, while his demonic and bloody wind can directly corrode hard bluestone!

If it were to fall on flesh and blood, the effect would be even greater.

After all, this ability is specifically designed for flesh and blood.

After testing the power of the Demonic Blood Wind, Mu Yang began to try other ways of releasing it.

That's right, the demonic stench can be expelled not only from the mouth, but from any acupoint on the body, such as the mouth, nose, and ears.

However, due to the size of the acupoints, the total amount of demonic and bloody wind that can be sprayed out at one time varies, but the power is the same; it's just a matter of the size of the coverage area.

Theoretically speaking, as long as he is skilled enough in controlling his qi and blood, he can even expel demonic and bloody winds from the pores of his body.

With this in mind, Mu Yang began to circulate his qi and blood. After some attempts, he suddenly raised his palm and aimed it at the ancient tree that Huang Feng had just been leaning against.

"laugh-!!!"

Dozens of fine, black wisps of wind, like hairs and steel needles, shot out simultaneously from the pores of the back of his hand.

Numerous tiny black holes were drilled into the tree trunk, and the edges of these holes continued to corrode and expand.

"The demonic, foul wind that spewed from the skin's pores was incredibly fast?"

Mu Yang looked in amazement at the ancient tree not far away that was beginning to show signs of withering.

At that speed, unless he was prepared beforehand, he simply couldn't dodge at close range.

If Huang Feng had used that move just now, he might have actually been injured.

After testing the Demonic Blood Wind, Mu Yang picked up Huang Feng's remaining head, casually pulled a thumb-thick green vine from a nearby tree trunk, tied Huang Feng's head tightly, and held it in his hand.

He stood still, holding the green vine, gazing into the distance.

That's the direction of Qingxi County.

Huang Feng is dead; now it's time to settle accounts with the Wang family!

Mu Yang withdrew his gaze and walked down the mountain.

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

Halfway up Huangfeng Mountain.

Two figures were hurrying uphill.

One man rode a tall horse, galloping at full speed, while another man relied entirely on his legs, moving even faster than the horse.

They were Wu Cai and Xue She, who were in a hurry to go up the mountain to find Mu Yang.

Just as the two were getting anxious, a familiar dark figure suddenly appeared on the forest path ahead.

The man had a large, broad-bladed longsword tucked into his waistband and was carrying something bound with green vines in his hand as he walked downhill at a leisurely pace.

"Muyang!!"

Wu Cai immediately recognized the person as Mu Yang, who had gone up the mountain earlier than them.

Angkor?

Mu Yang was stunned for a moment.

Why is Wu Cai here?

Then he glanced at the unfamiliar middle-aged man next to Wu Cai.

Who is this?

Although Mu Yang had been working for three months, he had never seen the elusive headman because Xue She was rarely at the yamen.

"This is Xue She, the head constable of our constables. You've really given us a hard time finding you. Luckily, you haven't gone too far into Yellow Wind Mountain yet. Let me tell you, that Yellow Wind Monster is incredibly powerful. You're still young, don't rush things..."

Wu Cai went on and on, his tone full of concern.

He didn't notice that Xue She beside him had already widened his eyes, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

"Mu Yang, this...this can't be the head of the Yellow Wind Monster, can it?" Xue She opened his mouth, and Wu Cai's words came to an abrupt halt.

Only then did he notice that Mu Yang had a head bound with green vines in his hand.

He was so excited that he didn't even notice.

only......

Yellow Wind Monster?

Wait, could it be that Yellow Wind Monster?!

Wu Cai felt somewhat incredulous.

"Yes, it took a lot of effort to find it, but luckily I found it and killed it." Mu Yang nodded.

"hiss--!!"

Both of them gasped simultaneously.

What does it mean to find it and kill it?

Wu Cai opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Xue She wasn't much better off. If the two weren't still unfamiliar with each other, he would have really wanted to ask Mu Yang how he did it.

That was the Yellow Wind Old Monster, a powerful rat demon at the third level of perfection, who also possessed demon blood magic. Back then, even when he and Wang Dianshi joined forces, they couldn't do anything to it and could only let it retreat calmly into the mountains.

How come Mu Yang, a mere recruit, was beheaded so easily?

Just moments ago, he was worried about Mu Yang's safety, but then the other party turned around and chopped off Huang Feng Laoguai's head.

Xue She felt a pang of embarrassment.

But after a brief moment of bewilderment, he couldn't help but praise Mu Yang, having been a seasoned veteran.

And so, the three of them and the horse slowly descended the mountain.
