"Attack! Hu Wanshan, do it now! Use all your strength! Kill him!!"

Hu Xin screamed in terror.

His face, which had just been smug, was now filled with terror.

Hu Wanshan, who was usually emotionless, was not affected at all. However, upon hearing the order, he immediately changed.

He let out a hoarse growl that didn't sound human, and then his mountain-sized body began to glow with red light.

It glowed red, like burning charcoal.

As the red light grew brighter, the surrounding air became hot and dry.

Even more strangely, Hu Wanshan, who was as big as a mountain, began to gradually shrink.

This is the strongest move in the "Boar Elephant Skill" - Burning Elephant!

By burning the special fat accumulated throughout their lives, they can obtain a berserk blood and immense power far exceeding their own limits.

After use, there are even risks such as a decline in cultivation level and permanent damage to muscles and bones.

However, the strength he gained in return was enough to allow an ordinary Blood Marrow Realm Perfection martial artist to obtain nearly three times his own power in a short period of time.

"kill!!"

Hu Wanshan, now smaller, moved even faster. As the stone slab beneath his feet cracked, he was like a burning meteorite, rushing towards Mu Yang with a scorching gust of wind.

With a single arm weighing over 30,000 jin, Hu Wanshan's palm strike produced a deafening sonic boom.

Faced with such a terrifying attack, Mu Yang simply stood still and looked up.

As the large hand drew near, he swiftly stepped forward, raised his hand, and spread his five fingers.

"Bang!!"

Under Hu Xin's expectant gaze, the giant hand collided with the palm, producing a deafening thud.

However, the scene she had envisioned—Mu Yang being sent flying—did not actually happen.

The force, powerful enough to shatter a city wall, struck Mu Yang's hand, yet it didn't even make him retreat a single step.

On the contrary, Hu Wanshan's violent blood and qi stopped for a moment, and his outstretched hand was firmly clamped by Mu Yang.

"Is that all the strength you have?"

Mu Yang's voice was calm, as if he had stopped not the crazed Hu Wanshan, but a mischievous fat orange cat.

Hu Xin even detected a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could you possibly catch Hu Wanshan's palm strike! It's fake! It's all fake! You can't fool me!"

Hu Xin shouted sharply, "Hu Wanshan, what are you doing? Get your hands on him right now!!"

However, no matter how much Hu Xin screamed, Hu Wanshan could not break free from Mu Yang's grip.

Instead, Mu Yang raised his other hand, his long, slender fingers clenched tightly, and his well-defined knuckles slashed through the air, striking Hu Wanshan's shrunken pig skin heavily.

"Bang!!!"

The pig skin, which was strong enough to withstand the slash of the Imperial Feather Broadsword, was easily torn apart like rags under Mu Yang's fist.

Fatty meat mixed with fresh blood exploded.

Hu Wanshan's massive body jolted violently, and a strange hoarse sound came from his throat, as if he was trying to struggle.

Mu Yang did not give him the chance.

The second punch, the third punch, the fourth punch...

Punch after punch landed on Hu Wanshan's body.

Each punch tore a large hole in Hu Wanshan's body, reducing the strength of his struggle.

His once-vigorous energy, fueled by burning fat, began to decline rapidly.

His obese body shrank at a visible rate, and blood and bits of flesh rained down on the ground and tables around him.

In just a few breaths, Hu Wanshan, who had been so fierce just moments before, had scattered here and there, completely blending into the courtyard.

Only then did Mu Yang slowly exhale and shake off the bits of flesh and blood that were stuck to his hands.

He stood on the crimson stone slab, turned his head, and looked at Hu Xin, who was standing there dumbfounded.

Although his eyes were calm, Hu Xin felt a chilling aura emanating from him, making her feel as if she were at the bottom of a winter lake, and even breathing became difficult.

"thump--"

Hu Xin collapsed to the ground, her whole body trembling like a leaf.

She had no strength left to run away, and could only watch helplessly as Mu Yang, covered in blood, walked towards her step by step.

She swore she had never been so afraid of anyone, or rather, she had never seen anything so terrifying that it chilled her to the bone.

"No...don't kill me, please don't kill me..."

Hu Xin's voice trembled with a sob, and her pale, pitiful face was filled with pleading.

"I shouldn't have laid a hand on you. I'm willing to give you all of the Hu family's assets, and I can even help you gather all the Hu family's servants together!"

"Just spare me, I'll do anything! I'll be your concubine, your pet, anything you want! I'll do whatever you ask, please!"

Suddenly, Mu Yang stopped in front of Hu Xin.

He looked down at Hu Xin, a sinister smile playing on his lips: "Oh? You're really willing to do anything?"

Hearing this, Hu Xin seemed to see a glimmer of hope for survival. Overjoyed, she immediately stood up and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I'm willing to do anything!"

She even started to feel an urge to tear off her red dress, wanting to prove herself.

However, at that moment...

"Pfft!!"

A blood-stained arm pierced her chest without warning, grasping her heart in its palm.

Hu Xin stared blankly at Mu Yang, only to see him grin, revealing a set of pearly white teeth: "Since that's the case, I'll accept your body!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yang clenched his fist and crushed Hu Xin's heart as if he were popping a water balloon.

"You only have two lives? You can't do that."

Seeing the prompt on the panel, Mu Yang casually threw Hu Xin's corpse on the ground and muttered something.

She thought Hu Xin had at least seven or eight lives, if not nine, but this was only the second time, and she sent it directly.

I finally got to use my full strength, and it ended way too quickly.

"What a pity, we didn't get to eat a single bite of this delicious food and wine."

Mu Yang looked at the shattered mahogany round table and the mess on the floor, shook his head, and looked away.

He walked into the master bedroom, casually tore off a clean piece of cloth, and while wiping the bloodstains off his body, he focused his attention on Hu Xin's corpse, which had lost its human form and transformed into a fox demon.

A semi-transparent panel with an ink-wash color slowly emerged.

[Rank: Tier 3]

Equipment Effect:

①Strengthen the Divine Soul (White): The soul receives a slight boost (mental strength, resistance to mental abilities, and nerve reaction speed are all improved).

② Abundant Qi and Blood (Blue): The total amount of Qi and blood has been greatly increased.

③ Malevolent Intent (Blue): Can exert mental suggestion on those with weak minds, causing them to gradually lose their minds and become mindless puppets. It is ineffective against those with strong souls and firm wills.

(After one's martial arts cultivation level increases, it needs to be condensed again. The maximum number of Soulmate Hearts that can exist at the same time is equal to the current martial arts cultivation level. The current maximum number is 3.)

[Permanent fixation conditions: Equip this item for seventy days, or kill any monster of rank three or higher while equipping this item.]
