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

What do you think?

Dai Wang looked at Mu Yang.

From the morning onwards, Xue She had been boasting about Mu Yang's achievements in Qingxi County.

What? He single-handedly took down Huang Fengshan, wiped out the Wang family overnight, and then exterminated the entire Hu family...

He was almost hailed as a once-in-a-century practical genius.

It's really piqued his curiosity!

Previously, Mu Yang was only at the third level, so he naturally couldn't challenge him. Now that Mu Yang has broken through, he can finally see for himself.

"Then please give me some pointers, Brother Dai," Mu Yang said.

"No problem!"

Dai Wang strode to the center of the courtyard, turned to look at Mu Yang, and said, "I am at the late stage of Qi Condensation Realm, and I am skilled in swordsmanship and leg techniques."

"However, since you've only just broken through, I won't take advantage of you. I won't use any weapons; you can do as you please."

"OK."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yang glanced at the black gold four-sided mace hanging at his waist, thought for a moment, and did not draw it.

"Be careful, I'm coming!"

Before he could finish speaking, Dai Wang had already sprung into action.

He was incredibly fast; with just a light tap of his foot, he became a blur, instantly closing the distance.

At the same time, his right leg suddenly rose, whistling through the air, and swept fiercely towards Mu Yang's waist.

He didn't use his internal energy for this kick; it was purely physical strength.

Although he only broke through to the Qi Condensation Realm through a single baptism of bone and tendon training, after becoming a leader and having more money in his hands, he spent a lot of money to buy precious medicines and also studied a martial art of external martial arts as a supplement.

In addition, he is skilled in leg techniques, and the force of this kick is at least 20,000 jin.

If it were an ordinary martial artist who had just broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm, they would probably suffer a minor loss if they had to deal with it hastily.

However, faced with this fierce kick, Mu Yang only slightly raised his hand.

"Bang!"

The palm collided with the ankle, producing a dull thud.

Mu Yang's expression remained calm.

Dai Wang's expression suddenly changed.

He felt as if he had kicked an iron mountain, the impact making his calves go numb.

「!?」

Xue She, who was standing nearby, was also startled when he saw this scene.

If it were him who had caught Dai Wang's kick just now, he would have been sent flying ninety-nine times over.

In contrast, Mu Yang remained completely still.

Dai Wang was equally alarmed.

Not only was he surprised that Mu Yang could withstand his kick, but he was also surprised that Mu Yang's palm strike had no fluctuation of true energy at all.

In other words, Mu Yang caught that kick purely with his physical strength.

That takes a lot of strength!

"Brother Dai, watch out."

Just as Dai Wang was in a daze, Mu Yang's voice suddenly entered his ears.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Yang turned his other hand into a fist and swung it fiercely towards his chest.

The speed was not fast, and there wasn't even a trace of true energy attached to it, but he was inexplicably startled, and his spine felt a little cold.

He dared not be careless in the slightest and subconsciously channeled his inner energy into his chest.

"Bang!!"

"puff--!!"

To Xue She's astonishment, Dai Wang was sent flying backward like a tattered sack.

"Cough cough—"

After landing, Dai Wang coughed a few times before catching his breath.

"Good lad, you're surprisingly strong!" Dai Wang rubbed his chest, which was aching and numb, and looked at Mu Yang with a more serious expression.

That punch just now must have had at least 30,000 jin of force, which is greater than the strength of an ordinary martial artist who has undergone a second breakthrough in bone and tendon training.

No wonder he killed so many third-tier demons when he was still in the Blood Marrow Realm.

They really have the skills!

"I have to take back what I just said..."

"Without weapons, I really am no match for you."

Dai Wang reached his right hand to his waist and gripped the hilt of his knife with his five fingers.

"Clang—!!"

The long sword was drawn, its cold light flashing.

It was a four-foot-long sword, its blade gleaming with a chilling light, and its surface covered with fine, water-like patterns.

"This is my old companion of more than ten years, the Water Cold Blade, a fourth-tier weapon."

"My martial arts talent is average. Apart from leg techniques and a later-developed external martial arts style, the only thing I can be good at is swordsmanship."

Dai Wang held the knife in one hand, looking at Mu Yang with eager eyes: "How about we test our weapon skills?"

"it is good."

Mu Yang responded and drew his weapon as well, holding the black gold four-sided mace in his hand.

The matte black mace gleamed with a cold, eerie luster in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"bring it on!"

Dai Wang took a deep breath, his internal energy surging, and with each breath, it spread to the blade.

The Water-Cold Blade rippled like pebbles thrown into water.

Water Cold Strike!

Dai Wang moved swiftly, like a dragonfly skimming the water, and once again appeared before Mu Yang.

His swordsmanship was like a violent storm, fast and ruthless, one strike after another, without end.

Xue She, who was watching from the sidelines, immediately felt his heart jump into his throat.

The speed of that swordsmanship was beyond his ability to keep up with.

However, facing the impenetrable blade light, Mu Yang remained calm and wielded his long mace.

"Clang clang clang clang—!!"

The sound of metal clashing echoed in the courtyard.

Sparks flew everywhere, and shockwaves surged.

This surprised Xue She even more.

He knew Dai Wang's strength all too well; he was among the top constables in the entire Qinghe County.

In terms of realm, experience, and combat experience, he far surpasses Mu Yang.

But the result?

Mu Yang actually withstood all of Dai Wang's attacks, and even seemed to have energy left over.

It should be noted that Dai Wang was serious. With the support of his internal energy and martial arts, each strike had a force of at least 50,000 to 60,000 jin.

But when it struck Mu Yang's mace, it was like striking a mountain; it couldn't budge it an inch.

Just as Xue She was shocked, Dai Wang, who was wielding his sword, suddenly withdrew it and retreated.

Something's not right!

Dai Wang murmured softly, looking at Mu Yang.

Mu Yang not only had no sweat on his forehead, but his hand holding the mace remained steady.

The brief, intense collision had left even him feeling a bit numb in his hand and his forearm muscles trembling slightly. How come Mu Yang was completely unharmed?

Could it be that he's letting me win?

The moment this thought crossed Dai Wang's mind, he was startled.

A young man who had just broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm was giving way to someone who had already broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm for many years.

Although he didn't quite believe it, the facts left him no choice but to believe it.

then......

"Brother Mu, you didn't use your full strength?"

Dai Wang was straightforward and immediately asked the question that had been bothering him.

Mu Yang paused for a moment.

Oh no, we've been discovered.

That's right, Mu Yang didn't use his full strength.

As early as after Dai Wang's first kick, Mu Yang had a general idea of ​​Dai Wang's strength.

He's a little weaker than Fan Duan.

With this assessment in mind, Mu Yang naturally had to hold back a bit.

After all, the other party treated him warmly upon meeting him, and he was even staying at their home, so how could he possibly really hurt him?

"really......"

Seeing Mu Yang's reaction, Dai Wang was both shocked and somewhat resentful.

He wasn't someone who couldn't accept defeat, but being let off by a junior who was more than twenty years younger than him was really hard to accept.

You'd think he was seventy or eighty years old and couldn't even withstand a single move!

Dai Wang took a deep breath, looked at Mu Yang, and said earnestly, "Brother Mu, don't worry, just go all out, I can handle it!"

"Brother, I'm not one to suffer a loss!"
