High Martial: I Can Copy All Root Bones!

Wang Long’s headless body convulsed on the ground for a moment.

Then, Yui Ya swallowed his entire body.

To Yui Ya in her current state, his armor was as fragile as paper.

She chewed a few times, spitting out some pieces of armor she had accidentally swallowed.

After swallowing a Rebirth Realm expert whole, Yui Ya activated her Gluttony Demon Fiend Skill. All of her injuries recovered instantly, except for the one on her arm.

The wound on her arm had also visibly healed by a significant degree.

The surrounding Black Dragon Army lived up to its reputation as the Imperial Court’s pillar. Even after seeing their Black Dragon War General swallowed alive, they hesitated for only a moment before resuming their assault on Yui Ya.

At this point, after activating Taotie’s Fury, Yui Ya’s Spiritual Power was nearly depleted.

If she stayed, she risked being worn down and killed by the Black Dragon Army.

So, while the effects of Taotie’s Fury still lingered,

Yui Ya swiftly swept aside the Black Dragon Army soldiers in her path and dashed off into the distance.

In a few leaps, she vanished from the Black Dragon Army’s sight.

...

The Saint Demon Sect operated in the open.

The Imperial Court, having remained hidden for many years, operated from the shadows.

Thus, each Black Dragon War General had their own reasons for choosing their opponents.

The one who chose to face the Bone-Eroding Demon Sect was Huaa Lin, a scion of the Huaa Family from the Capital Region.

The Huaa Family was not only a first-rate Martial Arts Family in the Capital Region, but they also held another title: the foremost medical family in the Song Country!

After a millennium of refinement, the Huaa Family’s knowledge of medicine had reached the pinnacle of mastery.

As the saying goes, the paths of medicine and poison are intertwined. Huaa Lin had sought out Fang Yuan of the Bone-Eroding Demon Sect to prove his superiority in both fields—to show he could best the Bone-Eroding Demon Sect, a branch of the Saint Demon Sect.

"I hear the Bone-Eroding Demon Sect calls itself the foremost poison master of the Demon Dao, and that its most famous toxin is called ’Bone-Eroding.’ I wonder if I might be allowed to witness it for myself today," Huaa Lin said slowly, his entire body encased in armor.

Aware of the dangers of poison, Huaa Lin did not engage Fang Yuan in close combat.

Instead, he maintained a distance of ten meters.

For an expert in the Rebirth Realm, such a distance could be crossed in an instant.

But for a master of poisons, it was a perfect distance for testing the waters.

"This old man is getting on in years. I wouldn’t dare presume to call myself the foremost poison master of the Demon Dao."

As he spoke,

the Black Dragon Army soldiers who had gathered to support Huaa Lin began to fall, one after another. THUD. THUD. Most of them collapsed.

Once on the ground, their bodies rapidly dissolved into pools of pus, and soon, not even bones remained.

Only their armor and longspears were left behind.

Huaa Lin’s expression changed. "Fall back! Get out of a one-thousand-meter radius!"

The surrounding Black Dragon Army soldiers retreated in haste.

Still, the slower ones dropped like stones, collapsing to the ground with a series of heavy thuds.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Yuan of the Bone-Eroding Demon Sect had killed over a hundred men!

*COUGH COUGH.*

Fang Yuan of the Bone-Eroding Demon Sect looked at the opposing Black Dragon War General with curiosity.

"You showed no reaction at all. What is your lineage?"

Huaa Lin’s expression was grim. "The Huaa Family, from the Capital Region."

"Oh, the Huaa Family. Then you must have perfected the Medical Saint’s Medicine Body, which can neutralize all manner of poisons." Fang Yuan’s expression was one of dawning comprehension.

The scions of the Capital Huaa Family ate all sorts of medicinal herbs as if they were regular food, starting from a young age.

Once they were a little older, they would consume Pills mixed with various poisons.

As their Martial Arts Realm advanced, the poisons they ingested became increasingly potent.

By the time a Huaa Family scion reached the Bone Refining Realm, they would have naturally developed the Medical Saint’s Medicine Body. At that point, virtually no poison could affect them.

"I didn’t see you make a move. How did you release the poison?" Huaa Lin asked, his face a mask of confusion.

’His duel with Fang Yuan felt less like a fight to the death and more like a mutual exploration of their respective arts.’

"Oh, that is my Demon Fiend Bloodline Power. It allows my toxins to turn into a mist."

As he spoke,

Fang Yuan slowly undid his top.

His figure was revealed to be truly emaciated. Unlike the baby-smooth skin of a typical Rebirth Realm expert, his was like the gnarled bark of an old tree, a twisted mass of knots and roots.

Dark, vein-like things writhed beneath his skin, as if parasites were living inside him.

"You... You’re constantly in a state of active Demonization...?" Huaa Lin stammered in shock.

Fang Yuan didn’t answer.

However, because Fang Yuan’s unique Martial Arts Talent, Poison King, and his Bloodline Talent, Ancient Poison Dragon, were exceptionally compatible, he was indeed able to constantly maintain his Demonization.

Relying on his Bloodline Power, Fang Yuan had managed to completely fuse the poison with his own body.

His body was the Bone-Eroding Poison. The Bone-Eroding Poison was him.

Wherever Fang Yuan went, he could release the poison simply by opening his pores, leaving no survivors for miles around.

As he unbuttoned his top, the poison spread faster and farther.

Demon Fiend Skill: Poisonous Venom Mist. It allowed the deadly toxin to vaporize, merging colorlessly and odorlessly into the air to spread with the currents.

A few more Black Dragon Army soldiers, even a thousand meters away, collapsed. The army was forced to retreat even farther before they were out of its range.

Fang Yuan had single-handedly cleared the battlefield.

Only he and Huaa Lin remained within sight.

"Are you waiting for me to make the first move?" Fang Yuan asked, looking at Huaa Lin.

Huaa Lin nodded. "I’m conserving my Spiritual Power. Once I’ve killed you, I can go assist the other War Generals."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan gave a slight nod. "Then, face my attack."

WHOOSH!

Fang Yuan’s skin suddenly split open, and the black specks writhing within shot out violently!

They shot toward Huaa Lin, ten meters away, at incredible speed!
