Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 535 - 364: Outer Realm Toad God Bestows a Nightmare Pearl, Dragon Rhino Old Monster Transforms into Green Dragon_2
The arrangements, while sounding complex, were actually completed in but a few breaths.
The group of talented cultivators intended to surround and interrupt the old monster's casting, but apart from Tao Qian, the rest were more or less affected by the Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound.
Tao Qian dared not get too close, lest he be swallowed whole.
After a few breaths had passed, Tao Qian suddenly realized that he had become an isolated individual forced to confront Yang Longxi alone.
The only consolation: the old monster had self-mutilated too much, losing mana, and his realm had consequently fallen slightly, leaving him unable to recover for a while.
Without the many appendages and the dragon's tail, he was still hideous and nauseating, but there was also an added touch of hilarity.
Tao Qian was still not polite, scoffing out loud.
The next moment!
The old monster roared and charged over; Tao Qian's surroundings were instantly filled with all kinds of Divine Skills from every direction, turning the Void into a state of Chaos, murky and indistinguishable. A mountain or a city, if thrown into it, would be ground into powder in an instant.
Tao Qian was truly aggrieved but helpless.
This was his first time battling such a troublesome enemy; the gap was too great, he couldn't even dodge, relying solely on the defensive power of the "Nine Toad Bead" to preserve his life.
Being locked by its dragon eyes, Tao Qian could clearly sense the mind: the old monster wanted to toy with him until death.
Startled, Tao Qian suddenly looked down towards Shangyang City.
Were there no other Cavernous Mystery warriors in the Ancestor Dragon Society besides him and Zhong Ziyang's group?
Naturally, there were.
Yin Susu, Xu Wenkai, Zheng Zhongxiong, Xiao Ling'er, the An Nan Demon Lord, Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Corpses, Pei Hong...bluntly counting, there were at least a dozen or more Cavernous Mystery cultivators.
However, these individuals were not considered core members.
Their outward pretenses might seem righteous, but their true purpose for joining the society was dubious, aptly described by the phrase 'each harboring their own schemes.'
Expecting them to risk their lives to help and jointly defend against the old monster Yang Longxi was nothing but a fool's dream.
Tao Qian glanced over and then retracted his gaze, considering other strategies in his mind.
"Those Daoist Soldiers, Buddha Generals, they shouldn't pose much of a challenge for Zhong Ziyang and Chen Xiyi's group, managing to entangle them for 15 minutes would be decent."
"The problem is, this Toad Pearl of mine, can't withstand that long."
"If I reveal my other methods, like Buddha Bird Relics, Holy Embryo Bag, Spirit Treasure Divine Powers, etc., it would be no problem to tangle with this old monster for several hours, but I can't afford to do that, my identity must not be revealed for now..."
The Nine Toad Bead was indeed a treasure of the Toad Sect.
Ordinary Cavernous Mystery Cultivators bombarded by Yang Longxi's Divine Skills wouldn't last more than a few breaths before their bodies perished and their cultivation dissipated.
Tao Qian, though battered and swaying, as long as he had enough mana, he didn't have to worry about being killed for the time being.
The way he was pondering strategies caught Yang Longxi's attention, infuriating the old monster further, who thought to himself: "Clearly a foolish junior, yet brandishing a Magical Treasure to show off, I loathe these disciples of Great Sects the most. Once I shatter that toad shell, I must harshly deal with this wretched little toad offspring."
Yang Longxi's silent thoughts alone were not enough; he also directly threatened Tao Qian:
"Little toad from the Toad Sect, by now you must be scared out of your wits."
"The Ancestor allows you to kneel and beg for mercy right now, and perhaps I will spare your life."
"Otherwise, once I smash this toad shell, I will fish you out and not immediately kill you. I must slowly punish you for decades before that."
"You must know, in my Ten Thousand Dragon Secret Realm, there is a Ten Thousand Dragon Pond, which houses a million Dragon Beasts, and at the bottom lies their waste, heaped into muck, foul-smelling and corrupting everything. Only a type of worm called 'Feces-eating Dragon Worm' can live in it, feeding on dragon feces, each growing plump and robust..."
"Once the Ancestor captures you, you would be well suited to be transformed into a Dragon Worm, raised at the bottom of the Ten Thousand Dragon Pond, ensuring you too grow fat and strong."
"Speaking of which, you little toad possessing Toad Pearls and Wa Dangs, these two treasures, your mastery must be extraordinary, why have you not called for help yet? Is it because there are really no toads crouching behind you, or was it just your luck, to have simply stumbled upon them..."
The old monster wanted to play with the junior, using foul and abusive words to the fullest extent of mockery.
Unfortunately, these remarks not only failed to breach Tao Qian's defenses,
On the contrary, they gave Tao Qian inspiration.
After hearing his words, his eyes lit up, and holding the Toad God Tile in his hands, he appealed to a majestic figure in the dark Void, sincerely pleading in his heart:
"Toad God above!"
"Did you hear that? This dirty-hearted old monster has shown you disrespect."
"Your disciple lacks the power to cope with him for now, if you could bestow some good items, your disciple will definitely avenge you..."
Tao Qian's intention was just to try it out.
If it didn't work out, he'd consider other methods.
But to his surprise, as soon as his petition was voiced, he received an immediate response.
The Wa Dang in his hand trembled suddenly and conveyed a hint.
As soon as he received the hint, Tao Qian was stunned.
He soon had an expression of sorrow on his face and without reserve, he complained:
"Why do you old folks always have this predilection, so fixated on people's heads? Oh well, knock if you must, just don't hit too hard, and the heavier the gifts, the better. Go ahead and do it."
Master Tao, always adaptable, considered a little acting nothing compared to his own life.
As soon as his words fell, he immediately smacked his own forehead with the Wa Dang.
The Toad God Tile was usually quiet, coming alive only when smashing an enemy's skull, face, or knees.
Now, knowing it was about to hit its current master's head, it was even more thrilled.
It seemed as if Tao Qian was doing it, but in reality, the Wa Dang was falling on its own accord.
Thump!
There was a muffled sound above the sky.
As Tao Qian struck himself with the hit, sensing the falling momentum of the Wa Dang, he thought his skull would surely shatter.
