Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily-Chapter 111 - 109: Foreigner

Liu Dingsheng saw the sudden change and also wore a grim expression. Clearly, the development of the situation had exceeded his expectations as well.

Some bugs quickly spread along the walls, reaching the location of the main hall.

Song Changming found it disgusting and drew the long saber from his waist, stabbing at a crawling emerald-green centipede.

When the blade touched the green shell of the insect, it produced a harsh, grating sound.

Although Song Changming still managed to cut the centipede into two segments with one stroke, the resistance he encountered was evident. The shell of the centipede was unusually hard, not as fragile as ordinary bugs.

"Could this Gu insect also carry strange blood?" Song Changming muttered, looking at the split insect on the ground, still thrashing about with green juice splattering everywhere.

After fluttering for a moment, the bug finally lost its life force and stopped moving.

Meanwhile, those martial artists with high skills were becoming somewhat frantic under the threat of these bugs.

They were all very experienced in fighting other martial artists.

But dealing with these bugs was a mismatch for their expertise, and it didn’t take long before they were covered in sweat.

"Everyone, Gu insects fear fire! Use fire against them!" Zhuang Ren loudly reminded.

Soon, someone took out a fire striker and lit wood and cloth, creating items that could burn.

As the flame licked the ground, many of these bugs, highly flammable, were soon turned to crisp amid a crackling sound.

The Gu insects indeed feared fire. When burning cloth strips were thrown into the courtyard, the remaining bugs rapidly retreated, not daring to approach further.

At this moment, Song Changming noticed on one side of the courtyard wall, three figures in red robes, their red hoods covering most of their faces, making it hard to discern their features.

One of them blew a whistle from their lips.

The bugs immediately crawled into the bamboo baskets placed beside them.

"You promised me! Today you will avenge for me!" The young man in the courtyard said harshly.

"Of course." The red-robed figure replied, their voice muffled and strange.

"Hmph, pretending to be mysterious!" A martial artist guest in the courtyard coldly snorted, flicking several flying sabers that turned into glimmers of cold light, targeting the three red-robed figures.

This person’s flying saber skills were quite remarkable and were what made them famous.

However, one of the red-robed figures lightly shook their sleeve, casually catching the several flying sabers.

This made the expressions of the many martial artists present become even more serious.

Though they considered themselves experts, they wouldn’t dare claim to be able to catch such a flying saber technique with their bare hands!

At the same time, another red-robed figure suddenly took out a delicate jade flute, brought it to their mouth, and began to blow.

The sound of the jade flute was deep and rich, and the invisible sound waves spread wide.

The next moment, within a few kilometers, cats and dogs seemed to be summoned, racing over and pouring into the courtyard.

"These must be members of the Outer Realm Evil Cult." Song Changming murmured.

This skill of summoning beasts from afar was truly uncanny.

Meanwhile, the third red-robed figure took out something, thin and shimmering like a piece of gold.

It was entwined with mysterious strands of white mist, floating around it.

"Hmm?!" Seeing this item, Song Changming found it familiar.

Beside him, Zhuang Ren blurted out.

"Mist gold!"

Yes, the object that person held was indeed mist gold.

At once, Song Changming’s mind flashed back to the scene from years ago when he first encountered the mutated fog beast.

The impression was so profound that it lingered to this day.

"Go!"

Somehow, the red-robed figure activated the mist gold in their hand, causing a mass of red mist to split into strands and merge into the cats and dogs below.

The next moment, these otherwise harmless-looking cats and dogs began to mutate.

Their bodies swelled as if inflated, growing larger incessantly.

Their fur grew wildly, and under the thick skin, it seemed to be packed with solid muscle blocks, full of explosive power.

At first glance, these cats and dogs seemed to have transformed into fierce lions and tigers, their eyes glowing with a white halo, exhaling scorching breaths.

"Things are looking bad..."

The appearance of numerous fog beasts made the situation rapidly deteriorate, causing anxiety to rise in many hearts.

Many among them knew of the existence of fog beasts and understood these were not ordinary wild beasts.

In most cases, fog beasts were even more dangerous than engaging martial artists in battle.

Let alone, before them, there were not one or two fog beasts, but a vast legion of them emerging at once.

A rough count showed twenty to thirty of them!

The opponents were not only well-prepared, but the backup they revealed was something none of them had anticipated.

Bang!

Sizable fog beasts landed their claws, directly cracking the flooring in the courtyard.

"Go, kill everyone!"

The red-robed person holding mist gold issued a command to all the fog beasts under their control.

The next moment, the fog beast group charged forward, a scene much more astonishing than when Song Changming first encountered a fog beast.

Among them, the number of early-stage fog beasts was minimal; most were mutations of middle-level strength, their combat power comparable to human martial artists of the Fourth to Sixth Realm!

Among them, some even resemble high-level Fog Beasts if judged by size alone!

These Fog Beasts only need to swing their tails, accompanied by the sounds of wind and thunder, capable of easily smashing through entire courtyard walls, let alone the power of their claws and fangs.

Thankfully, many high-level martial artists have gathered here, most of whom are able to battle these Fog Beasts, ensuring it’s not a one-sided fight.

This is what prevents the County City from falling into chaos due to these Fog Beasts.

"Changming, we mustn’t let these Fog Beasts rampage elsewhere in the city, or the consequences will be unimaginable!" Zhuang Ren unsheathed his sword and instructed Song Changming.

Song Changming acknowledged, sheathing the longsword in his hand and drawing the Dragon Pattern Saber from his back.

The hefty blade is more capable of unleashing the brute strength of Song Changming’s Sixth Realm Cultivation!

Afterward, he followed Zhuang Ren into the courtyard.

"Kill them all!" the vengeful youth shouted hoarsely, raising his longsword high.

The group of henchmen he brought charged along with the Fog Beasts toward where Liu Dingsheng was in the main hall.

The tumult grew larger, and the situation exploded into a fierce and harrowing chaos in the courtyard.

Zhuang Ren quickly took on a gigantic Fog Beast, engaging it fiercely.

Meanwhile, another enemy arrived in an instant, leaping high and slashing directly at Song Changming.

"Die!"

The powerful slash was supposed to be a sure hit against a young martial artist.

But unfortunately, today he encountered this particular young martial artist, Song Changming.

Bending slightly, with both hands wielding, the Dragon Pattern Saber swung out at an angle.

A strong gust blew forth, and without suspense, in the next moment, this opponent was knocked to the ground, sword and all, by Song Changming.

A huge wound opened in his chest and abdomen, his internal organs exposed through the gash to the air.

Such wounds... it’s clear he won’t survive.

He couldn’t believe it. He was a Sixth Realm Martial Artist!

Moreover, he followed the muscle training route in body refinement, yet competing in strength, he was slashed down by this young martial artist before him!

No chance to retaliate at all!

Was this reasonable?!

As his vision began to blur, he vaguely noticed the hefty longsword in the young martial artist’s hand.

The silver blade was etched with lifelike dragon bodies and heads.

He seemed to recall something, but it was too late.

Song Changming looked at the Sixth Realm Martial Artist he had instantaneously killed, his heart feeling a faint sense of emotion.

Not long ago, this Sixth Realm Martial Artist was an unattainable powerhouse in front of him.

Now, when this Sixth Realm Martial Artist sees the blade in his hand, he can only meekly become a ghost under it!

Back when he witnessed the battle of masters at the Xiao Family’s gathering, he did not have the capital to intervene and could only watch from afar.

Now, in such a grand-scale chaos again, he’s qualified to step into the arena!

This transformation has all been thanks to the fruits of his silent growth in the County City over the years!

His gaze landed not far away, thinking that with Zhuang Ren’s muscles level, slaying that Fog Beast shouldn’t be difficult.

But he underestimated the strength of that Fog Beast.

As powerful as Zhuang Ren, with Seventh Realm Body Refining Cultivation, his longsword struggled to pierce through the massive Fog Beast’s body.

The difficulty in penetrating the defense indicated that this Fog Beast had likely reached high-level!

Zhuang Ren performed sword skills, continuously hitting the massive Fog Beast in front.

He barely managed to pierce a shallow layer of skin, only to be swatted away by the Fog Beast’s claws.

A resounding bang, and fortunately, he retracted his sword in time to block the sharp claws, preventing injury.

"Truly a vexing foe!" Zhuang Ren glanced at the longsword in his hand, seeing faint notches and cracks.

The Fog Beast’s body was incredibly strong, its skin and claws harder than refined steel.

Possessing both strength and speed with quick reflexes, finding a weakness was nearly impossible.

This high-level Fog Beast rampaging unchecked anywhere would spell a massive disaster.

The Fog Beast bared its teeth, saliva dripping and sizzling with a faint red gas on the ground, its visage terrifyingly fierce.

It was firmly locked on Zhuang Ren, growling as it lunged forward once more.

Its leap spanned over ten meters, reaching Zhuang Ren in an instant with jaws open.

If Zhuang Ren were bitten, even the strongest body refinement might only escape half intact.

Immediately implementing the Light Body Skill, he dodged and maneuvered with sword form, reengaging the beast.

Apart from Zhuang Ren’s fierce struggle, other martial masters were embroiled in a life-and-death battle with the remaining Fog Beasts.

A weaker martial artist was torn apart by a Fog Beast on the spot, the scene horrifyingly bloody.

The blood mist from that martial artist eerily drifted into the nearby Fog Beasts, merging with their exuded mists.

Subsequently, it’s as if they were nourished by the martial artist’s essence blood, their forms faintly swelling, becoming even more menacing.

These Fog Beasts could further enhance themselves by absorbing human blood, a trait not seen in the Fog Beasts encountered previously by Song Changming.

Without a doubt, this batch of Fog Beasts will be even more troublesome.
