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

Chapter 133 On the Eve of Breakthrough

The deafening sound gradually faded away.

The people inside Tongshui Pass stared in awe at the mountain peak several miles away.

On the ruined mountain, Jiang Heng slowly stood up, while in a large crater in front of him, Aganda was no longer human.

"Team Leader Jiang, you killed a martial artist at level six in physical strength?"

"That's an exaggeration..."

"I've never heard of a level 5 martial artist being able to defeat a level 6 martial artist."

"I thought Team Leader Jiang was going to be beaten to death, but I never expected..."

"What nonsense! How could the team leader possibly be dead!"

"Um, that's... that's..."

"If the team leader dies, we'll be next!"

……

Jiang Heng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the black flames on his body gradually dissipated.

At this moment, his body was covered with deep bloodstains. Although most of the black pythons that the Thousand Miasma Cloud Lock had transformed into were burned by the tribulation fire covering their bodies, a small portion of them still tore at his body.

And the second-level divine power that Aganda unleashed at the end was even more powerful.

Even if Jiang Heng had hidden behind the mountain beforehand, using the entire mountain range as cover,

His body was still struck by the residual power of this supernatural ability, his back was ripped apart and his spine was damaged.

In addition, he had just been hit several times by Aganda, and several of his ribs were broken.

If it weren't for the protection of the thirty-six immense Dao patterns and forty-eight thousand-mechanism Dao patterns within his body,

Otherwise, Jiang Heng probably wouldn't have lasted this long; he would have collapsed and fainted, completely at their mercy...

"Cough cough."

Jiang Heng coughed lightly, looked around, and after confirming that there were no of Aganda's accomplices, his tense mood gradually relaxed.

He lowered his head again, looked at Aganda's corpse on the ground, and couldn't help but grin.

To fight a level 6 early-stage martial artist alone with only a level 5 physique is probably extremely rare even in the entire East Asian region...

He crouched down, supporting his badly injured body, and began to grope for Aganda's corpse on the ground.

"They didn't smash them all, did they...?"

Jiang Heng muttered to himself, looking at the mangled corpse on the ground, and felt a pang of regret.

"If I had known, I should have aimed the last few punches at his head."

If you hit him on the head, the things on Aganda's body won't be broken.

After searching for a while, Jiang Heng finally found the black jade gourd that had just been flung away in the ruins nearby.

"Yes, this is it..."

His eyes lit up slightly, and he picked up the black jade gourd.

"It's good that this thing is still here."

The containers used by disciples of the Thirteen Caves of Southern Xinjiang to hold Gu worms can, to some extent, indicate their status and the value of the Gu worms inside.

For example, ordinary disciples use leather-sewn worm bags.

The bloodline of the Golden Thirteen Family generally uses bronze gourds.

As for the higher-ups of the thirteen families who are at level six or above, they use black jade gourds as containers for cultivating Gu worms.

As a high-ranking member of the Wenda family, Aganda's Gu worms cultivated in the gourd must be extraordinary.

The extracted poison will likely be even more effective...

sieve--

A sharp whooshing sound echoed across the sky as a figure tore a white rainbow in the distance.

"besides?!"

Jiang Heng was startled and suddenly looked up at the sky. After seeing the person's face, he was relieved.

The person who arrived was not a warrior from the Thousand Poisons Alliance, but Zhao De'an, who had rushed over from Xiting Mountain.

"boom!"

Zhao De'an landed suddenly on the ruins with a muffled thud.

His gaze then swept warily around before finally settling on Jiang Heng, who was covered in blood, in front of him:

"Jiang Heng, how are you?"

Jiang Heng shook his head: "I was slightly injured, but it's nothing serious."

Even as he gazed at the somewhat shocking traces of the battle, Zhao De'an remained alert.

"Which direction did the Thousand Poison Alliance warriors go?"

"……there."

Jiang Heng pointed to the ground not far away, to the bloody mud in the collapsed pit.

Zhao De'an: "..."

He had just arrived when he saw Jiang Heng standing on a pile of rubble, covered in blood.

So he subconsciously assumed that Aganda had sensed his arrival and had already fled.

But the current situation is...

Zhao De'an asked incredulously, "This is... the corpse of that level six martial artist from the Thousand Poison Alliance?"

Before Jiang Heng could reply, he immediately went to the large pit in the ruins and looked down.

Although Aganda was now a bloody mess, it was still possible to vaguely discern what he looked like before he was born.

Moreover, the aura emanating from him is undoubtedly that of a level six martial artist.

Zhao De'an muttered to himself, "He really is at level six in physical strength..."

He turned back with a complicated expression, silently looking at Jiang Heng: "You actually killed a level six martial artist..."

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "I have two body-refining divine abilities. If this person dares to get close to me, he is doomed."

Zhao De'an exclaimed, "To kill a martial artist at the sixth level of physical strength with only a fifth-level physical strength cultivation level."

"Jiang Heng, your name is about to resound throughout East Asia."

"In East Asia, it's been many years since a level 5 warrior defeated a level 6 warrior..."

Jiang Heng smiled, about to speak, but coughed lightly, almost coughing up blood.

Zhao De'an was slightly taken aback when he saw this, and quickly stepped forward to help Jiang Heng.

"Don't speak yet, your injuries are too severe. I'll take you back to heal."

Jiang Heng nodded: "Okay."

Then.

Zhao De'an immediately instructed the people in Tongshui Pass to clean up the mess.

Furthermore, the Xuanjia tribe was instructed to closely monitor the situation outside Tongshui Pass to prevent similar incidents from recurring.

Then he helped Jiang Heng up, took off into the air, and flew towards the nearest city, Nanjiang.

Chengdu, the provincial capital, is too far away, and the nearest medical station cannot treat the injuries of high-level martial artists.

Therefore, the best option is naturally to go to Nanjiang City for treatment.

……

The news that Jiang Heng, with his level five physical body, single-handedly killed a level six Thousand Poison Alliance warrior.

It quickly spread throughout the border region and even among martial arts circles across the entire Tianfu Administrative Region.

It should be noted that in the past hundred years, the entire Tianfu Administrative Region has only produced two martial arts geniuses who were able to defeat a level six martial arts master at the level five physical strength stage.

One is Yuan Jingang, who was born in Nanjiang City, and the other is Yao Mingyi, who came from the provincial capital sixty years ago.

Both of them have now gone to Australia and become top martial arts masters.

Sixty years later, in the capital of Sichuan Province, a third genius finally emerged who was able to fight against opponents of higher levels.

This naturally drew all eyes to Jiang Heng throughout the entire Tianfu region.

……

Baisha Camp.

After listening to Zhao De'an's report, Du Liyan slowly nodded, then exclaimed, "Truly a genius..."

"As long as he doesn't die, he will definitely be able to set foot in Australia in the future."

Du Liyan thought for a moment and continued, "De'an, let him recover properly. He doesn't need to participate in the upcoming battle."

Zhao De'an was slightly taken aback, and then hesitated: "It's possible, but I'm not sure if he's willing."

"I think this kid is quite interested in going into battle and killing enemies... well, I should say in killing Thousand Gu Alliance warriors."

Zhao De'an paused for a moment, then said:

"And have you forgotten that if a martial artist wants to reach the ninth level of physical body cultivation, a fighting spirit is an essential part of it?"

"Even if he avoids the current war, he will still encounter an even more brutal war when he goes to Australia in the future."

"At that point, there will be no chance to escape the fighting..."

Du Liyan was slightly taken aback, then slowly nodded and said, "That's true..."

"Let him recover from his injuries first. Regardless of whether he participates in the future, we should wait until he is fully healed before making any decisions."

"Given his injuries, he probably won't recover for several months."

"Who knows, by then, this war might already be over..."

Zhao De'an nodded: "Yes."

……

Qinghe Medical Research Institute.

This former public welfare hospital has now become Pei Yu's private research institute.

With Jiang Heng's help, they recruited many elite talents, enabling the entire research institute to begin normal operation.

Jiang Heng has also been sent to this hospital for treatment...

now.

Inside and outside the ward, people stood everywhere, coming to visit Jiang Heng.

Wang Jinglun, Jiang Yunliang, Lü Zehai...

There were also many of Jiang Heng's former colleagues from the Nanjiang Wu'an Bureau, crowding the entire ward.

When everyone saw Jiang Heng at this moment, their feelings were more or less complicated.

They already knew the reason why Jiang Heng was injured.

Jiang Heng sustained injuries from fighting a level six martial artist, and he has already killed his opponent...

If this had been said two months ago, probably no one present would have believed it.

But now, you have no choice but to believe it...

Jiang Heng spoke with each of them one by one, and only after a long time did he see them off.

The ward gradually quieted down.

"Knock knock knock".

A crisp knock sounded outside the ward.

Jiang Heng said, "Please come in."

Pei Yu pushed open the door and entered the ward.

Two months had passed, and Pei Yu's demeanor had become much more capable. The scar on her face had also healed, and her features were clean and delicate.

"Brother Jiang."

"Hmm." Jiang Heng nodded and asked, "How were my test results?"

Pei Yu paused for a moment, then slowly began to speak:

"Your injuries are severe; you have multiple lacerations in your back, a fractured spine, and three broken ribs..."

"With such severe injuries, it will take at least two or three months to fully recover."

Jiang Heng nodded: "Okay, I understand."

He had anticipated this situation, so he wasn't bothered by it now.

He continued, "How's the research on that black jade gourd I gave you before coming along?"

When Jiang Heng arrived at Qinghe Hospital yesterday,

He then killed all the Gu worms in the black jade gourd and handed it over to Pei Yu to help him extract the Gu poison.

The Gu worms in this black jade gourd are extremely potent.

Ordinary specialized containers cannot stop their movement, posing too great a threat to ordinary researchers.

If an accident occurs, even a single Gu worm could be released and wipe out the entire Qinghe Research Institute from top to bottom.

Therefore, the only option is to kill it first and then hand it over to Pei Yu for extraction and research.

Pei Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's already being extracted, but it might take a few more days..."

Jiang Heng nodded: "Okay."

……

Time passed slowly, and Jiang Heng rested quietly in the Qinghe Research Institute every day.

By the third day, the contribution points he earned from killing the sixth-level martial artist of the Thousand Poisons Alliance had been calculated and transferred to his account.

Jiang Heng immediately opened the contribution points shop and clicked to purchase the last body-refining divine ability, [Hundred Herbs Wither and Flourish Body].

Although his external injuries are severe at the moment, they cannot be repaired in less than two months.

However, as long as he successfully cultivates the [Hundred Herbs Wither and Flourish Body], he will be able to quickly heal himself and repair his injuries.

Two days later.

The seed of the [Hundred Herbs Wither and Flourish Body] supernatural power was also transported from Tianfu Provincial Capital to Nanjiang City and came into Jiang Heng's hands.

……

Inside a bedroom at Qinghe Research Institute.

Jiang Heng had already left the ward and, under Pei Yu's arrangement, moved into this bedroom.

At this moment, his whole body was wrapped in bandages. He opened the metal box in his hand, revealing a seed of supernatural power inside.

The size of a soybean, radiating a tender green light, resembles a seed brimming with boundless vitality.

Jiang Heng swallowed it.

The moment the green Dao Seed entered his mouth, it quickly melted and dissipated, turning into wisps of smoke that merged into his body.

next moment.

Jiang Heng closed his eyes slightly, and a brand new Dao pattern quickly appeared in his mind.

Its entire body is green, swaying gently, as if radiating boundless vitality.

At the same time, this supernatural ability was also recorded on the panel.

[Supernatural Ability: ...The Body of Withering and Flourishing of Herbs (Proficiency 0.1%)]

"Next, I will inscribe the Dao patterns of the Hundred Herbs in reverse order, striving to cultivate this body-refining divine ability to perfection as soon as possible..."

With this in mind, Jiang Heng immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and began to inscribe Dao patterns in reverse on his entire body.

Subsequently, his muscles trembled violently, and the "internal injury" in his body at this moment was intertwined with the "external injury" he had previously suffered.

Jiang Heng silently observed this scene, thinking to himself:

"I wonder if the disease-causing agent can also heal other injuries while treating this rhabdomyolysis..."

An hour later.

Jiang Heng was soaked in sweat, and his muscles began to dissolve under the reverse influence of the Dao Seed.

Then, he silently recited in his mind: "Disease erosion, transformation."

The gentle and mysterious power of disease then surged into the body.

It quickly cleared away the lesions inside the body, and also repaired some of the external injuries in the process...

Jiang Heng was delighted and nodded slightly.

It really worked.

Although [erosion] cannot actively repair external injuries, it can also repair some external injuries while repairing internal lesions and cell damage...

Soon, the feedback power of the disease emerged and was used by Jiang Heng to strengthen the Hundred Herbs Dao Pattern.

A few breaths later.

[Supernatural Ability: ...The Body of Withering and Flourishing of Herbs (Proficiency 12%)]

"Can."

Jiang Heng nodded in satisfaction. In about ten more days, he would be able to perfect this supernatural power.

With a thought, the thirty-six indistinct herbal Dao patterns within his body faintly lit up.

It began to slowly nourish and repair his damaged body...

Jiang Heng closed his eyes, sensing the changes within himself, and pondered silently.

"Once this supernatural ability is perfected, the next goal is to break through to the sixth level of physical strength."

"I wonder if the poison in that jade gourd can push my physical body level to level six..."

……

Ten days later.

On the bed in the bedroom, Jiang Heng slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the panel.

[Supernatural Power: ...The Body of Withering and Flourishing of All Herbs (Perfected)]

After some time, he finally mastered this supernatural power to perfection.

Jiang Heng had a sudden thought.

Thirty-six clear and complete herbal patterns quickly appeared on the surface of the body.

Strands of emerald light rapidly repaired the last remaining injuries on Jiang Heng's body.

About fifteen minutes later, all his injuries were healed, and his body was completely refreshed!

"Finally, it's cured..."

Jiang Heng let out a long breath, then stood up, untied the bandages on his body, and moved his joints.

At this moment, the combined power of the three body-refining techniques further enhanced the strength of his physical body.

In particular, the toughness of the body has been greatly improved.

If he were to encounter Aganda again, given his current physical strength,

Even if he fought this person for another quarter of an hour and endured several of Aganda's supernatural powers, he would not suffer such severe injuries again.

"Next, I need to break through to level six of physical strength..."

Jiang Heng snapped out of his thoughts and murmured to himself.

He then looked up at the several bottles of solution on the table, which resembled thick ink.

This is the Gu poison solution that Pei Yu extracted from the Gu worms in the black jade gourd.

"I hope it won't disappoint me..."

Thinking this to himself, he picked up a bottle of poison solution, drew it into a syringe, and injected it into the vein of his left arm in one go...
