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

The damage to the bright red wedding dress seemed to have thoroughly enraged the bride.

Her head, which had been hanging low, suddenly lifted up.

The large red veil covering her face moved automatically without any wind, suddenly rising to the back of her head.

A young girl's face, with delicate and three-dimensional features and a touch of exoticism, was revealed to the three of them.

However, apart from her facial features, there was nothing normal about her face.

It had grayish-white eyes, bluish-black skin, and a deep black indentation on its neck, with fine scales along the edges of the indentation.

It looked exactly like the scales on Liu Zhuang's body when he turned into a drowned corpse that afternoon.

Although they looked alike, their aura was completely different from Liu Zhuang's.

Liu Zhuang exuded a decaying aura, a mixture of death and demonic energy.

The woman in the wedding dress before me exuded a chilling, icy aura, pure and intense.

It's like a bottomless, dry well.

As the bright red veil was lifted, the bride's small, purplish-black lips suddenly parted, her chin almost touching the indentation on her neck.

At the same time, a blood-red light suddenly shone from her gray eyes.

"Eeya—!!"

A hysterical wail echoed through the alleyway in the night.

Invisible ripples spread from her body, attacking every corner indiscriminately.

The first to be affected was Yuan Yuan, who was standing at the very front.

However, she was born with a strong soul and had cultivated the "Purifying Heart Dantian Construction Method," which protected her body with the Pure Heart True Qi. Although she still felt a slight stinging pain in her temples, it was not a serious problem.

Lei Jiaojiao, who was standing behind her, changed her expression, held her slightly protruding temple with one hand, and subconsciously took two steps back.

Yuan Yuan frowned, took a step to the side to block Lei Jiaojiao, and placed one hand on Lei Jiaojiao's shoulder to stabilize her mind with her Pure Heart True Qi.

With the protection of the Pure Heart True Qi, Lei Jiaojiao's brain pain was greatly relieved, but this also prevented Yuan Yuan from focusing on attacking.

The woman in the wedding dress seemed to be trying to delay Yuan Yuan. When she realized that Yuan Yuan was unable to make a move, she clearly showed signs of retreating.

"Sister Yuanyuan, don't worry about me, go and deal with the wedding dress first..."

Before she could utter the word "woman," Lei Jiaojiao suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark figure flashing past her side out of the corner of her eye.

It's Muyang!

He endured the ear-piercing attacks from the woman in the wedding dress, yet he showed no sign of pain, much like an ordinary person facing the autumn breeze.

Even Yuan Yuan looked surprised.

Even though she was born with a soul strength twice that of an ordinary person, she might not have been unharmed if she hadn't been protected by the Pure Heart True Qi and had directly faced the attack from the woman in the wedding dress.

And what about Mu Yang?

There was no fluctuation of true energy on his body, clearly indicating that he was simply enduring it head-on.

That must be an astonishing level of soul strength!

Before the two could even exclaim in surprise, Mu Yang had already arrived in front of the woman in the wedding dress.

The soul impact that even Lei Jiaojiao needed Yuan Yuan's help to resist was like wind blowing through rocks when it hit him, only causing the hem of his clothes to flutter.

The superior-grade internal energy is poured into the fist.

Two hundred strands of true energy, carrying a force exceeding two hundred thousand jin, slammed into the face of the woman in the wedding dress without reservation.

If it were an ordinary fourth-tier demon, this punch would have been enough to shatter it to pieces.

But the moment his fist landed, Mu Yang felt as if he had crashed into a pool of sticky swamp.

The power was stripped away layer by layer by something unknown.

Only a small portion of the true energy that can actually be transmitted to the woman in the wedding dress is directly in contact with her skin.

The effect is very limited.

It only slightly shrunk the three-dimensional features of the woman in the wedding dress, making her look like a pressed steamed bun.

The chilling aura emanating from him diminished almost imperceptibly.

But as the yin energy stirred, her facial features quickly swelled up again.

Seemingly to mock Mu Yang's powerlessness, the woman in the wedding dress floated backward, not forgetting to look at him with her gray eyes, her lips slightly upturned.

Mu Yang's lips twitched.

This was the first time he had been mocked after killing so many monsters.

Since two hundred strands of true energy are not enough, let's try more!

"weep--!!"

Before the bride's incredulous eyes, a solid divine soul attack erupted from Mu Yang's body, striking directly at her.

Caught off guard, the woman in the wedding dress seemed to have been struck on the head with a hammer; her gray eyes instantly went blank, and even her wailing stopped abruptly.

The figure that had been drifting backward came to a stop in place.

"You laugh a lot, don't you!"

Mu Yang gave her no time to react, took a step forward, and flashed in front of her again.

He poured the remaining 2,300 strands of true energy in his dantian into his right arm, while the permanently solidified blue inscription, Spider Spear, was also secretly activated.

A punch with a force exceeding one million pounds, accompanied by a whistling sound, compresses the air into a solid mass.

The fist struck the woman in the wedding dress hard in the mouth, like a meteor falling to the ground.

"Bang--!"

A loud noise echoed through the alley.

To the astonishment of Yuan Yuan and Lei Jiaojiao, the head of the woman in the wedding dress exploded like the head of an ordinary demon, shattering into pieces all over the ground.

Dark gray yin energy gushed out from her shattered head.

However, under the relentless piercing and erosion of Mu Yang's superior true energy, which possessed the effect of spider spears, the yin energy gradually dimmed and dissipated.

In the end, not a single drop remained.

As the last wisp of yin energy dissipated, the bride's body stiffened for a moment, like a bamboo pole snapped in half, before falling straight to the ground.

"I thought I couldn't kill you just by using my inner energy."

Mu Yang glanced at the bride in her wedding dress lying on the ground and withdrew his fist.

"Sister Yuanyuan, what's going on? Isn't it said that ordinary true energy can't kill ghosts?" Lei Jiaojiao felt as if she was possessed by Lei Sai, and her brain was a bit malfunctioning.

"It's top-grade true qi!"

Yuan Yuan stared intently at Mu Yang, her voice filled with undisguised shock.

Seeing the superior-grade true qi made her even more shaken than when she saw Mu Yang withstand the soul attack of the woman in the wedding dress.

That's top-grade true qi!

Not only must one complete three rounds of tendon and bone tempering during the tendon and bone stage, but one must also possess a physique far superior to those of others of the same level, as well as a powerful soul.

Even if these conditions are met, one still needs to painstakingly hone their skills at the Qi Condensation Realm Perfection stage for an unknown period of time before finding an opportunity to improve the quality of their True Qi.

She dragged it out for half a year, until she reached the Qi Condensation Realm and could not make any further progress, and she still could not raise the true qi in her body to the superior grade. In the end, she had no choice but to break through.

She had always believed that without the aid of special elixirs, no one could achieve the transformation of superior true qi through talent alone.

I never expected to see it today.

Mu Yang: It's not that we didn't use any precious medicine.

"High-grade True Qi?"

Lei Jiaojiao, ignoring her still throbbing head, gasped for breath.

She clearly remembered that when she first met Mu Yang, he seemed to be only at the Blood Marrow Realm. Now, he had only broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm a few days ago, and he had directly condensed high-grade true qi.

For a moment, she didn't even know whether she should be shocked by the high quality of Mu Yang's true energy or by the speed at which his cultivation had improved...

Is this what a true genius is like...?

A bitter smile appeared on Lei Jiaojiao's lips.

Sometimes she really wanted to dissect the bodies of geniuses to see exactly how they differed from her.
