It's getting dark.

In Chen's mansion, the lights are brightly lit.

Not long after the Chinese New Year, the house is still filled with the New Year atmosphere.

Full of wine and food.

The opera troupe sang opera on the stage, and everyone in the audience listened with gusto.

Xu Qinyi and Ren Qingfeng also came, as did Xu Yuxiang, who was specially called over by Xu Qinyi.

She sat next to Lin Zheyu, looking towards the stage, but all her thoughts were on the person next to her.

"From this perspective, Mr. Lin is indeed a talented person!"

Xu Yuxiang's face turned red, and she secretly looked at Lin Zheyu from the corner of her eye.

She suddenly felt a little regretful. If she had known that she would have acted more gentle and virtuous back then, Mr. Lin would not pay attention to her now.

Lin Zheyu sniffed the fragrance of the woman beside him without any thoughts in his mind.

He sat back leisurely on the chair, listening to the opera on the stage, relaxing both physically and mentally.

After the performance, during the break, Chen Mu walked up to Lin Zheyu and said, "Brother Lin, I lost the last time we competed. I have gained something in the past few days. How about we fight again?"

"What I wish for!"

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

The main purpose of his coming here is to discuss with Chen Mu.

Although Chen Mu's momentum is not strong enough, it can still give him an analogy.

After fighting with ferocious beasts these past few days, Lin Zheyu had a new understanding and was planning to ask Chen Mu to compare and verify.

"Let's go to another courtyard. We can't let go here." Chen Mu said.

The two stood up, left the auditorium, and walked towards the Chen Mansion.

Seeing this, Xu Qinyi and others also stood up and followed. The fight between these two people was very interesting and worth watching.

"Go and see if you want. Aren't you always very direct?" Ren Qingying said to Xu Yuxiang with a smile.

"Who wants to see it? I don't want to go. What's the point of fighting?"

Xu Yuxiang withdrew her gaze, looked at the stage, and said duplicitously.

"Yes, you don't want to see it, but I want to see it. I'll go over with my sister and have a look. I don't know who will win this time between Mr. Lin and Chen Mu." Ren Qingying said with a smile.

"Lin...well, it must be my cousin who wins!" Xu Yuxiang said.

Under the moonlight, her face was a little rosy, whether it was due to the firelight or some other reason.

When he came to the other courtyard, he lit the oil lamps around him and illuminated the courtyard brightly.

"Guess who will win this time." Ren Qingfeng said with a smile.

Xu Qinyi said: "It must be Brother Lin. Is there any doubt about this?"

"That's not necessarily true. After Chen Mu came back last time, he practiced martial arts like crazy, and he has improved a lot recently. With that terrifying aura, I couldn't help but feel afraid when I stood in front of him."

Chen Xihong said.

He had seen Chen Mu sparring with others at the martial arts arena yesterday. The aura exuding from him made him unable to help but feel fear in his heart even as he watched.

"So strong?" Ren Qingfeng was surprised.

"You will know after you read it." Chen Xihong said mysteriously.

They looked towards the center of the courtyard together, and the two of them had already stood up and took a stance.

"Please enlighten me!" Chen Mu said.

As he finished speaking, an astonishing aura rose up from his body. The aura was almost twice as strong as before!

"good!"

Lin Zheyu's eyes lit up.

This is really an unexpected surprise. The stronger the other party's power, the more he can gain insights from it.

He put on the Barbarian Bull Fist stance, and the invisible fist power lingered on his body, resisting the pressure from Chen Mu's momentum.

The two started an invisible confrontation of momentum, and a look I knew appeared on Chen Mu's face.

He guessed last time that Lin Zheyu also realized the potential, but he was just not strong enough to force it out.

The two stood opposite each other, and a huge and terrifying sense of danger spread unbridled.

Ren Qingying and Xu Yuxiang had never practiced martial arts. Faced with this invisible force, they suddenly had the illusion that the two people opposite them could easily take away their lives at any time.

"Back off!"

Ren Qingfeng and Xu Qinyi took the pale two people back a step.

Several people looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Brother Lin is really a monster!"

"In the last competition, I guessed that he had realized the power, but I didn't expect that his power was not inferior to that of cousin Chen Mu!" Chen Xihong took a deep breath and said with some bitterness.

The same was true for Xu Qinyi and others, with complicated expressions on their faces.

The three of them are from direct lineage and have superior family backgrounds. In their respective families, they can be regarded as outstanding talents.

However, facing the two people in front of them, they felt ashamed.

"Brother Xu, after a while, let's join the army to train, or we can form a team and go out to hunt bandits."

"If we continue like this, we may be far behind soon." Chen Xihong suggested.

"I think so too."

Xu Qinyi nodded.

"Including me, these two are really perverts. If we don't work hard, in a few months, we won't be able to call them brothers." Ren Qingfeng muttered.

"drink!"

Chen Mu shouted loudly, and a bloody and killing force swept across.

He pounced on Lin Zheyu like the most ferocious beast staring at its prey.

Lin Zheyu's muscles bulged all over his body and he stood still. The fists on his body were swirling. Facing Chen Mu's attack, Lin Zheyu kept punching out with his fists.

Bang bang bang.

The dull sound of collision echoed in the yard, attracting many children of the Chen family to watch.

They were frightened by the powerful momentum generated when the two men fought, and they retreated to a distance, not daring to get too close.

The Mad War Technique has no specific attack method. His whole body is full of weapons, and whatever can kill the enemy is his attack method.

Chen Mu's attack was crazy and ruthless. Facing Lin Zheyu, he did not hold back at all and went all out. His momentum reached its peak and steadily improved.

However, Lin Zheyu was indifferent. He did not use the Jin Yan Kung and relied on the Barbarian Ox Fist to fight the enemy throughout the whole process.

During the collision of fists, the two men's momentum was tit for tat.

Feeling the gazes of the people around him and the fear in their eyes, Lin Zheyu had an inexplicable realization.

‘I am very strong! ’

‘I am invincible! ’

Lin Zheyu murmured, his aura solidifying a little more.

The strong wind roared, and in conjunction with the breathing method of the Barbarian Bull Fist, the breath was exhaled, faintly like the roar of a barbarian bull.

Chen Mu used fighting to build up his strength, and the more he fought, the stronger he became.

However, Lin Zheyu was also fighting, and his momentum continued to increase, and he was steadily overpowering Chen Mu.

Chen Mu's invincible aura, full of bloody killings and a hint of madness, felt like he was about to be torn apart when faced with Lin Zheyu's more domineering punches.

…

"good!"

Seeing Lin Zheyu knocking Chen Mu back with one punch, cheers suddenly came from the scene.

Xu Qinyi and others looked at Xu Yuxiang one after another, seeing her cheeks turning red, and they all couldn't help laughing.

At this time, two middle-aged men walked through the corridor.

Behind them were several men with strong auras.

Seeing the bustle in the other courtyard, the two of them took a curious look.

"Those two little guys, are they both descendants of your Chen family? That's interesting." The man on the left said with a smile.

"That's the guy on the left, and he should be Hong'er's friend on the right. Chen Cai, whose son is the young man fighting Chen Mu?"

The man called for the servant and asked curiously.

He is Chen Xihong's father and the head of the Chen family, Chen Yongnan.

"Sir, that's Young Master Lin. He was recruited into the Feihong Gang by Gang Leader Xu a few months ago. He's also a friend of Young Master Chen." Chen Cai said.

"So it turns out that Brother Jingwu's vision is still so good that he discovered a good idea again." Chen Yongnan said with a smile.

"Both of these two are good young talents. They have realized the 'potential' at such a young age. If they are well cultivated, there is no chance that they will have a chance to break through to the essence training realm."

The man said with a smile.

They stood and watched for a while and then left.

Bang bang bang.

In the yard, the two men fought fiercely, and the sound of fists and feet clashing could be heard endlessly.

Chen Mu's crazy fighting technique was born out of the army. He fought fiercely and without risking his life, and his every move would kill people.

Lin Zheyu was extremely calm in the face of Chen Mu's attack. He kept throwing wild bull fists. He pushed forward with both fists, one punch hit Chen Mu's abdomen, and the other punch made a feint and swung out diagonally from below.

Bang.

The fist hit Chen Mu's jaw hard, a slight click sounded, and Chen Mu was blown away by the huge force.

"No fight, no fight, no fight."

Chen Mu bared his teeth and felt a sharp pain in his jaw when he spoke.

The murderous aura he had just been affected gradually affected his sanity, his eyes were slightly red, and his attacks became more ruthless.

Just when he was about to fall into madness, he was punched by Lin Zheyu and woke up.

"Concession!"

Lin Zheyu smiled and cupped his hands towards him.

"How did you develop your 'shi'? It's so much stronger than mine. Do you have any skills?" Chen Mu stood up and asked curiously.

He first encountered a bottleneck in practicing the Mad War Technique, and then joined the army. After several years of fighting, he finally realized the 'potential'.

Lin Zheyu had only been practicing for a long time, but he actually realized such a powerful 'potential'.

Chen Mu was curious if there was any skill involved.

"Um……"

"Practice and practice, and you've become so strong. Does this require skills?" Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment and said.

Chen Mu: "..."

Xu Qinyi: "..."

Ren Qingfeng: "..."

Chen Xihong: "..."

When the people who had just gathered around heard this, they fell silent for a while, holding back what they wanted to say.

"Ah haha, today we only talk about romance, not martial arts. Let's go for a walk, let's listen to music and watch a show!" Chen Xihong said with a smile, inviting everyone to listen to music.

…

After the Chen Mansion's banquet, Lin Zheyu set off to Beast Roar Mountain as usual the next day to find those ferocious beasts to fight with.

It was less than three days before heading to Baishi Mountain, so there was plenty of time to rest when we got there.

When I got home, I took out the poison books and studied them when I had time.

After listing the poisons required for the first three stages of the Poison King's Body, Lin Zheyu inquired and found that most of the poisons for the second and later stages of the Poison King's Body could not be purchased in drug stores.

The black market has not yet opened, so I don’t know if Songyicheng can gather them all.

Moreover, he did some calculations and found that if he wanted to advance to the third stage of perfection at once, he would need at least tens of thousands of silver taels in medicinal materials.

"Forget it, there's no rush to deal with the Poison King Body. Let's improve our strength first. When we become stronger, it will be easier to make money. Then it won't be a problem."

Lin Zheyu had no choice but to put aside the plan to improve the Poison King's body and wait until he had enough money to consider it in the future.

This thing not only costs money to practice, but also costs lives for ordinary people to practice.

Time flies, three days have passed.

early morning.

Outside Songyi City.

Lin Zheyu set off for Baishi Mountain with the Feihong Gang's team, which consisted of more than two hundred people.

He spent all his savings to buy the medicinal materials for the blood-boosting and bone-strengthening soup, a total of thirty-one medicinal materials, which were ground into powder and taken away together.

Medicinal materials ground into powder are much smaller and easy to carry.

Baishi Mountain is not far from Lion Valley and some distance from Songyi City.

After driving for a long time, we arrived at Baishi Mountain.

Looking up, nearly half of the mountain is bare and desolate.

Due to years of mining in these places, the vegetation has been severely damaged and smoke and dust are everywhere.

The cold wind blew, raising smoke and dust all over the sky.

After entering Baishi Mountain, Lin Zheyu and Jia Yanyong separated.

His position has now been promoted, equivalent to the status of the Zang Refining Realm, and he is responsible for an area alone.

"From now on, Mr. Lin Zheyu will be in charge of the area near Baihe River in the south. You guys will follow Mr. Lin and guard that area together. Do you understand?"

Xu Chuanliang said to everyone.

He is the steward here and comes from a branch of the Xu family. He looks to be about forty-five years old and his strength has reached the peak of Zang refining.

"Yes, sir!" everyone responded.

To the south of Baishi Mountain, close to the Baihe area, the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is an easy job to defend here.

"Okay, you go on patrol."

Xu Chuanliang waved to everyone, then looked at Lin Zheyu and said, "Lin Zheyu, stay."

Lin Zheyu stopped and looked at Xu Chuanliang.

"Sir, what do you want from me?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?"

"I heard that you defeated that boy Chen Mu. You are truly a hero. Work hard. In a few years, you will be the backbone of the Feihong Gang."

Xu Chuanliang patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment of Baishi Mountain."

"Thank you, sir." Lin Zheyu said.

"Baishishan is close to the Lion Valley and is targeted by bandits in the Lion Valley. Bandits often attack and harass it."

"But you don't have to worry too much. The south side of Baishi Mountain you are responsible for is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the danger is not great."

"Your work tasks are not very heavy. If you encounter a powerful bandit attack, you can just lend a hand. There is almost nothing to do on weekdays."

Xu Chuanliang introduced as he walked.

After listening to Xu Chuanliang's introduction, Lin Zheyu knew a little more about Baishi Mountain.

For members of the Feihong Gang, except that there are no entertainment activities here and it is a bit boring, being on duty in Baishi Mountain is not a chore.

On the contrary, because the treatment on duty is better than in the city, some people even took the initiative to apply.

…

Beasts roar in the mountains.

Ferocious beasts are rampant here, and ferocious beasts are everywhere.

Roar

Woohoo.

Deep in the forest, roars of beasts could be heard.

Swish swish swish.

A dozen strong men, carrying crossbows and arrows on their backs and holding long knives, moved forward cautiously, with extremely cautious faces and a trace of fear in their eyes.

"Brother, last time it was the living corpse found in the forest ahead." A man said.

"I've told you several times, don't call me brother. Now that I'm a deacon, you have to call me deacon!" the leading man scolded.

These younger brothers had just joined the Jiuyou Sect not long ago, and they still couldn't change their words for a while.

"Yes, Lord Deacon."

"Keep going, we must find the living corpse this time!" said the man who called himself the deacon.

The group of people divided into several teams and began to search nearby.

More than half an hour later, a scream came from the distance.

"Ah, help..."

Halfway through the call, the voice fell silent.

Then there was a sound of chewing, and the bones were broken into pieces, making a cracking sound.

"Over there, quick, shoot the arrow!"

The deacon shouted loudly.

When the several strong men beside him heard the words, they shot out crossbow arrows in the direction of the sound.

"Attention people behind, prepare to release your war horses to lure away the living corpses!" the deacon continued to order.

The living corpse has copper skin and iron bones, and is invulnerable, and arrows have no effect at all.

Arrows were shot to mark the living corpses.

The arrows are specially made, hollow inside, and contain special powder.

After being shot, the arrow explodes and powder is sprinkled on the living corpse, marking it so that if it fails this time, it will be easier to find next time.

Ouch——

Ahhhh!

An inhuman roar came out.

A figure wearing tattered clothes, with bulging muscles, sunken eyes, and ferocious eyes rushed out of the forest.

He was holding a severed arm in his right hand, biting it from time to time while running, making a clicking sound.

The teeth are very good.

He is the living corpse these people are looking for.

I saw the living corpse jump suddenly, its body leaping high, and like a cannonball, it hit the people who were shooting in the distance.

Bang!

The living corpse hit hard, a dull sound sounded, and soil splashed everywhere.

He casually grabbed the strong man beside him, threw away the broken arm in his hand, inserted his left hand into the strong man's chest, and pulled out a beating heart.

This cruel and terrifying scene scared the strong men around them and fled in all directions.

"Weird, monster!"

"Ah, help..."

Screams and cries were heard.

The strong man who was the deacon suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted loudly: "Now, release the horses quickly!"

The deacon roared loudly, asking the people in the distance to release their horses to attract the attention of the living corpses.

Living corpses like to eat blood. The war horses they selected have extremely strong vitality and blood and can attract the attention of living corpses.

Hissing law——

The people in the distance reacted from the shock and released the prepared war horses. Four strong horses rushed out of the forest.

When the deacon saw that the task was completed, he turned around and ran away.

His heart was pounding, and his body couldn't help but tremble because of the fear.

But it's too late.

The deacon's cry just now attracted the attention of the living corpse.

Ouch!

The living corpse let out a roar, discarded the bloody body, and jumped towards the deacon with all his strength.

In a hurry, the deacon swung the knife in his hand and slashed at the living corpse.

However, the blade seemed to have struck steel, unable to injure it at all. Instead, his jaw was painfully shaken by the huge repulsive force.

The deacon immediately discarded his weapon and ran towards his younger brother in the distance.

The zombies are very fast, and they will definitely not be able to escape if they run away, but as long as they run faster than their little brother, they have a chance to survive.

ah!

A shrill scream sounded.

The living corpse moved its feet and came to the deacon's side in a flash. He grabbed the deacon's shoulders with both hands and violently tore them in half.

Blood and flesh spattered, internal organs flowed all over the floor, and the scene was extremely bloody.

Hissing rhythm~~

The four horses sensed the danger and ran wildly out of the mountain forest.

After killing the deacon, the viciousness of the living corpse was completely aroused, and its eyes were blood red.

He stuck out his purple tongue, licked his lips, and ran towards the four horses.

These four horses are quarter horses that have been carefully selected and are famous for their speed. When running at full strength, their speed is extremely amazing.

Whoosh!

The living corpse's figure quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests, extremely flexible.

There was almost no trace of human reason in his body, and his eyes were scarlet with no pupils. When he blinked, the scarlet color disappeared and turned directly into purple-black.

It looks extremely deep.

puff!

Suddenly, he jumped up like a flexible ape and threw himself on the horse that fell behind.

Its nails were extremely sharp, and with a sharp thrust, it penetrated into the horse's belly and pulled out a huge, beating, living heart.

Hissing rhythm.

The horse let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground.

The living corpse suddenly opened its mouth, and the lower jaw seemed to be movable. The mouth opened wider and wider until a living horse heart could be stuffed into it.

puff--

He chewed it a few times, and blood flowed from his mouth, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

After eating the heart, the living corpse grinned, stared at the horse running in the distance, pursued it again, and rushed out of the Roaring Mountain.

These four horses were trained and ran towards the mountains and forests.

After the living corpse is led outside, there are other hands outside to lead it in a specific direction.
