From being plagued by all kinds of diseases to becoming a powerful martial arts demon god!

Chapter 130 Peak of Level 5

Tongshuiguan, the hall that is now half-destroyed.

Vilayuna's arm, pierced by the spear formed from the flames of the calamity, was already a bloody mess, and was now covered with countless Gu worms.

Strands of red and white viscous fluid were expelled from the Gu worm's mouth, rapidly repairing the injury on his right shoulder.

On the other side, Jiang Heng's eyes lit up slightly.

This person has so many Gu worms on their body!

The number of Gu worms covering his body alone is probably in the thousands, and the bronze gourd at his waist likely contains even more...

Vilayu's face was cold, and his eyes held a murderous intent.

In the short span of a breath, the injury on his right shoulder was completely healed by the red and white Gu worms.

He then slapped the bronze gourd, and billowing black energy flowed into the gourd's mouth.

Countless black Gu worms swarmed out of the gourd, mingling with an ink-like aura that surged and flowed through the air.

Inside the hall, it seemed to transform into a dark cloud that blotted out the sky, and the ceiling, walls, and pillars it touched were instantly corroded by the Gu worms, turning them completely black.

Large amounts of black droplets fell from the ceiling, as if turning the entire hall into a ghostly realm!

Miasma and myriad scorpions gather in the morning clouds!

This is the most powerful and core divine ability among the first-class divine abilities of Zhangyun Cave!

It is extremely powerful, and only the heirs of the Wenda family can cultivate it!

At this moment, Vilayu was severely injured by Jiang Heng and was obviously furious. He immediately launched such a killing move!

Even other peak level 5 martial artists would likely die on the spot if they were entangled by these dark clouds!

In the blink of an eye, thick black fog enveloped the entire hall, blocking all of Jiang Heng's escape routes.

Vilayuu's lips curled into a sinister smile as he raised his hand and waved it.

"die!"

Dark clouds crashed down, and in the next instant, a rich crimson light pierced through the darkness.

A ten-foot-tall phantom of a red ape suddenly tore through the darkness, reaching Verayu in a single step with a speed that Verayu could hardly react to!

Then, countless streams of energy flowed like rivers flowing into the sea, and the black incantations on the fist transformed into icy flames. Simultaneously, the thirty-six mighty Dao patterns within the body lit up with a profound yellow color.

Like a massive mountain ablaze with flames, it crashed down on Vilayu's chest with unparalleled force!

"Bang!"

Vilayu's chest caved in, his spine torn apart; the immense force had crushed his internal organs!

His pupils contracted, and he died on the spot.

……

Jiang Heng withdrew his fist.

The [Ten Thousand Pounds Heavy Armor Body] alone had already raised his physical strength to the peak of level five.

In addition, he now has a mastery level of over 70% in the martial art "Burning Heaven".

At this moment, his close combat skills were already enough to easily crush a level 5 peak martial artist.

The black flames licked the blood off the knuckles before slowly dissipating.

At this moment, small wounds appeared on his body from the bites of the Gu worms.

If it were an ordinary level 5 martial artist, they would probably already be poisoned by now.

However, Jiang Heng immediately activated his Corrosive Disease power to cleanse the Gu poison from his body.

At this moment, his physical body level was upgraded once again.

[Physical Body Level: 5.59]

He's just 0.01 levels away from breaking through to the late stage of level 5.

All around.

The dark clouds formed by the countless Gu worms lost Verayu's control and began to scatter and even tear at each other as they fell to the ground.

Jiang Heng felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this.

These Gu worms are all good for him to improve his strength, so he can't waste them.

He simply picked up the bronze gourd of Vilayu on the ground and reached out.

The surging energy transformed into countless illusory hands, which swiftly seized the black Gu worms drifting in the sky and roughly stuffed them into the bronze gourd.

He didn't expect these Gu worms to live for long; he just wanted the Gu poison inside them to remain active.

A few minutes later.

The black worms in the hall were swept away, leaving only the black, corroded ceiling and pillars, as well as the ruins on the other side.

Jiang Heng walked out of the hall and immediately looked at He Pingyu, who was standing outside looking anxious.

He Pingyu, along with several soldiers, was hiding at the base of the wall.

He was currently worried about whether Jiang Heng could kill the Thai-Burmese warrior inside.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Heng walk out of the hall.

"Team Leader Jiang...are you alright?"

At this moment, Jiang Heng's clothes were all torn by the Gu worms, and he looked seriously injured.

Jiang Heng shook his head: "I'm fine."

His gaze swept over the other soldiers in Tongshui Pass, and he asked, "How are they?"

He Pingyu shook his head and said helplessly, "He hasn't woken up yet, I don't know what's going on."

Jiang Heng said, "Contact the medical department and have them come and rescue him."

"Yes."

……

Baisha Camp.

Inside this command tent on the front lines of Tianfu, sat Battalion Commander Du Liyan of the Third Special Operations Battalion.

And Shi Jingfeng, Bai Yongliang, and Zhao De'an from the Third Battalion.

The atmosphere inside the tent was completely silent.

The reason is that the border front of Nanjiang City, which was under the responsibility of the 3rd Special Operations Battalion, suffered heavy losses in just two hours.

Zhangyun Cave, Bone Sacrifice Cave, and Mingling Cave all dispatched their elite forces to launch a surprise attack on the border of Nanjiang City at an extremely fast pace.

Even with the special operations team from the 3rd Special Operations Battalion stationed there,

However, the Tianfu Special Operations Battalion had rarely fought against the Thousand Gu Alliance before, and the intelligence they had previously obtained was already outdated, making it extremely difficult to defend against the Thousand Gu Alliance's bizarre methods.

As a result, they suffered heavy losses, with one group almost being wiped out. If it weren't for the timely arrival of Deputy Battalion Commander Shi Jingfeng, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Du Liyan turned to Zhao De'an and slowly asked, "How are the situations at the strongholds in the east?"

In addition to several core garrisons,

There are also several remote but equally important outposts along the border of Namjang City.

Zhao De'an's expression was solemn as he slowly spoke:

"Of the four outposts in the remote eastern region, three have been confirmed safe, but there is still no news about Tongshui Pass."

Du Liyan frowned slightly: "The area around Tongshui Pass must belong to the Wenda bloodline of Zhangyun Cave. This stronghold is probably already..."

Zhao De'an said, "I have already sent the sixteenth group to Tongshui Pass, but the situation is still unknown."

Du Liyan was slightly taken aback: "Group sixteen, that genius from Nanjiang City?"

Zhao De'an nodded.

Du Liyan's face darkened, and he said:

"He's only been in the special operations battalion for a short time, how dare you let him out? Isn't that sending him to his death?!"

Zhao De'an was speechless for a moment.

He opened his mouth helplessly and explained:

"Jiang Heng's strength is actually no less than that of the other team leaders in the special operations battalion."

"He had previously killed a late-stage level 5 martial artist with his own hands..."

Du Liyan's expression remained unpleasant:

"But now he faces the peak of the fifth level of the Wenda family from Zhangyundong!"

"Are you really sure he can handle this situation?"

Zhao De'an was speechless for a moment.

Shi Jingfeng and Bai Yongliang, who were standing to the side, also had serious expressions.

In that case, the 16th Special Operations Group is probably already in imminent danger...

"Buzz—"

A buzzing sound came from the communicator.

Zhao De'an immediately took out his communicator and was slightly taken aback when he saw the name displayed on it.

He immediately connected the call: "Hey, Jiang Heng, how are you doing?"

Jiang Heng's voice came through the phone: "I'm fine."

Zhao De'an immediately asked, "What about those who attacked Tongshui Pass?"

Jiang Heng replied over the phone, "They're all dead. One was at the peak of level five, and the other two were at the late stage of level five."

"However, there are still more than a hundred soldiers at Tongshui Pass who have been affected by a kind of supernatural power from Zhangyundong and have lost consciousness. They need the help of medical personnel."

Zhao De'an nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send someone over right away."

The call was disconnected.

Zhao De'an put down the communicator, a look of relief spreading across his face. He looked up at the three people in the tent and smiled.

"Battalion Commander, didn't I tell you my judgment was correct?"

"This kid's strength is extraordinary, far beyond what can be judged by common sense."

The tent was quiet. Du Liyan, Shi Jingfeng, and Bai Yongliang were silently watching him.

With their current strength, they can naturally hear the conversation in the communicator clearly.

Shi Jingfeng exclaimed in surprise, "I remember, Jiang Heng only joined the Third Special Operations Battalion not long ago, right?"

"It seems he only recently consumed the Dao Seed and broke through to the fifth level of physical body cultivation. How did he become so strong..."

Bai Yongliang's expression remained calm, but his eyes still betrayed his astonishment:

"He has only been at the fifth level of physical body for a month, yet he is already able to kill a peak fifth-level martial artist."

"I'm afraid it won't be long before I reach level six, right?"

Du Liyan's expression softened considerably. He glanced at Zhao De'an and snorted coldly:

"I was lucky this time; I didn't encounter someone with a level six physical body, otherwise I would have been in big trouble."

"Since we know this kid is a genius, why send him to risk his life?"

"Wouldn't it be better for him to reach the eighth level of physical cultivation in the future than to die here?"

Zhao De'an was speechless again.

Fine, no matter what you say, you're right and it's my fault.

Du Liyan stood up and waved his hand at him: "Alright, go do your work. Bring this kid over in a few days so I can meet him."

"Yes."

Zhao De'an nodded, then stood up and walked out of the tent.

……

In the afternoon, more than a dozen medical vehicles arrived at Tongshuiguan to treat the hundreds of soldiers stationed there.

Meanwhile, the border troops redeployed personnel to Tongshui Pass and expressed their gratitude to Jiang Heng and the 16th Group.

To prevent other Thousand Gu Alliance warriors from launching a sneak attack, the 16th Group of the 3rd Special Operations Battalion will need to remain stationed at Tongshui Pass for a period of time.

Jiang Heng also took the time to send the spoils of war from Vera and the other two—the Gu worms—to the Qinghe Research Institute in Nanjiang City.

Although Jiang Heng has now left Nanjiang City, he did a lot of things before he left.

This includes the Qinghe Hospital, which was left behind by the Jinding Group and has since been sealed off.

He has already bought it at a low price and handed it over to Pei Yu for use as a laboratory.

Now, a month later, I learned from my previous conversation with Pei Yu that the entire laboratory has begun to operate normally.

The Gu worms that Jiang Heng obtained from Verayu and the other two...

To maximize their effectiveness, we still need to use technological means to extract the poison contained in these worms.

Although the Qingming Laboratory of Tianfu Wu'an Hall could also do this, it is too far away and inconvenient to travel back and forth.

It would be better to just hand this task over to Pei Yu.

……

Time passed quickly, and the three days flew by.

In the past few days, the area around Tongshui Pass has been peaceful, and no more warriors from the Thousand Gu Alliance of the Thai-Myanmar Administrative Region have come to the vicinity of Tongshui Pass to launch sneak attacks.

Jiang Heng's contribution points for killing Vilayu, Kachin, and Sopa a few days ago have also been approved...

Inside a spacious room in Tongshui Pass.

Jiang Heng picked up his phone and checked his Wu'an account.

[Contribution Value: 182]

These three Thousand Poisons Alliance warriors brought him 180 contribution points.

That's enough for him to buy another body-refining technique from the contribution points shop.

The [Heavy Armor Body] has already brought him enough benefits.

He wondered how much the remaining two body-refining techniques in the shop, [Hundred Herbs Wither and Flourish] and [Thousand Machines Bone-Turning Technique], would help him increase his combat power...

Jiang Heng opened the shop, found the [Body Refining Divine Power] interface, and glanced at the remaining two divine powers.

With his current contribution points, he can choose to cultivate either of these two supernatural abilities.

He pondered for a moment, then chose the [Thousand Machines Bone Removal Method].

[Hundred Herbs Wither and Rejuvenate] enhances endurance and self-healing abilities.

The [Thousand Machines Bone Removal Technique] can unlock the restrictions on the joints.

Not only can it increase one's own strength, it can also help him forcibly elevate his martial arts level.

In summary, it is clear that the [Thousand Machines Bone Removal Technique] has a stronger effect on improving one's combat power.

Jiang Heng then chose to purchase and entered the address. His contribution points immediately decreased by 150 points, leaving him with just over 30.

Next, he only needs to wait about three more days, and the seed of the [Thousand Machines Bone Removal Technique] will be delivered directly to him.

He then turned off his phone and turned his gaze to a metal box next to him.

Three days later, Pei Yu had extracted all the poison from the thousands of Gu worms that had been sent over and delivered them to him.

Jiang Heng opened the bottles of high-concentration Gu poison solution in the alloy box, a hint of anticipation appearing in his eyes.

I wonder how much this poisonous solution will enhance my physical level...

Without further thought, he picked up a solution, drew it into a tungsten steel needle, and then injected it into a vein in his arm.

As bottles of highly concentrated Gu poison solution were injected into his body, various symptoms began to appear on Jiang Heng's body.

Dizziness, muscle breakdown, boiling blood and bone erosion...

The Gu worms cultivated by the fifth-level martial artists of the Thousand Gu Alliance naturally possess extremely strong lethality against martial artists of the same level.

Then, Jiang Heng silently recited in his heart: "Disease erosion, transformation."

The gentle, corrosive power quickly seeped into the body, beginning to clear away the poison and various symptoms.

Meanwhile, Jiang Heng continued to inject the Gu poison solution into the veins of his arm.

The resulting feedback power was then channeled into strengthening his internal organs and improving his mastery of the "Blazing Furnace Scripture"...

Jiang Heng could clearly feel that his internal organs, and even every inch of his flesh and blood, were rapidly becoming stronger.

The blood film on the surface of the internal organs becomes increasingly tough, the bridge of true meaning becomes increasingly stable, and the prototype of an internal organ furnace appears in the body and is rapidly improving!

Finally, when Jiang Heng finished injecting all the poison solution into the alloy box...

The internal organs and furnace within the body have been fully formed, with the Qi circulating continuously, reflecting a crimson radiance.

"call……"

With all the ailments in his body completely gone, Jiang Heng slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and looked at the panel in his line of sight.

[Physical Body Level: 5.59 → 5.95]
