Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 538 - 365: Tao Qian’s Divine Skills Resemble Those of an Evil Demon, Only Then Recognizing the Toad Sect as Heterodox_2
He, the Founding Emperor of Yang Dynasty, a Cultivator among the heavenly talents, one of the Ancestors of Alchemists, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Yet here he was, capsizing unexplainably in a concealed gutter.
Yang Longxi, on the one hand, was enduring the rampant toad poison while also channeling his Daoist Transformation power to force the poison out. It was fortunate that Tao Qian was only at the Perfect Transcend Mortality stage, just one cultivation session away from reaching Cavernous Mystery. Otherwise, he would not have managed to expel the toad poison.
On the other hand, he was forcefully enduring, allowing his skull to be viciously struck by Wa Dang without rushing to seek out Tao Qian and tear him apart.
In his heart, he was fiercely thinking:
"What a nasty little toad creature, young yet ruthless and brutal."
"Keep smashing then, even if you turn this dragon's head into minced meat, so what? My infant body sits firmly within Yang Cang's belly, impervious to All Techniques, hmph, just wait until I force this toad oil out, and see how I tear apart this little toad."
"I was too greedy before, thinking about eating some toad meat and seizing that Nine Toad Bead and Wa Dang's treasures, which gave the junior a chance."
"Once I am free, with just one breath of Nine Revolutions Evil Buddha Dragon Divine Flame, I can turn this ugly junior into a charcoal-roasted toad, never again to become a Devil."
Yang Longxi was originally an old monster and a Demon who had attained Dao.
In terms of Cultivation and insight, he was even above Yuan Gong.
If he had started killing as soon as they met, even if Tao Qian didn't die, he would have lost a few layers of skin.
But he was bewitched by the Toad Pearl and Wa Dang, his heart filled with greed, and he also craved Tao Qian's toad meat body, so both times he approached him, it was with the intention of swallowing him whole.
This was how Tao Qian caught the opportunity to humiliate him.
Now he had reflected on his pain and was determined to deal a fatal blow as soon as he recovered.
It was said that in his early years of cultivation, he had used his skills to mingle in Heavenly Dragon Temple, Evil Sects, and other Daoist and Buddhist Sects. By integrating the scriptures of various sects, he created a new Great Book - "Nine Revolutions Dragon God Wonderful Scripture," which contained a variety of Divine Powers, drawing upon the strengths of both Buddha and Demon, their Power extremely terrifying.
Nine Revolutions Evil Buddha Dragon Divine Flame was one of them.
This flame, once spat out, could scorch three thousand miles of land to nothingness.
Any creature with a spirit that it touched was certain to die without hope of survival.
With that thought in mind, although the old monster had not spoken, the readiness in his posture, like a venomous snake poised to deliver a deadly strike, was instantly discerned by Tao Qian.
With a glint in his eyes, he quickly guessed the gist of it.
Not bothering to ponder any further, he directly advanced upon him and loudly revealed:
"Old monster, are you planning to recover soon and actually deal me a severe blow, directly taking my life?"
"No wonder people say you were wise in life but foolish in death, unable to conceal your murderous intentions and malice, how could you possibly plot against me in secrecy."
"There's still some toad oil left, all for you, let's see how you recover."
As he spoke, Tao Qian's face showed a slight bitterness.
But still, he brought the cloth bag to his mouth and sucked dry the remaining toad oil.
"Croak!"
Accompanying this toad cry, a brutal scene emerged once again.
No, even more brutal than before, chilling one's heart and soul, causing goosebumps to surface all over unconsciously, as if also infected, mutated.
This time, Tao Qian's spit was not a tidal cascade but more like Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers.
A total of a thousand fist-sized "Heavenly Plague Toad Oil Beads" precisely landed on Longxi's body. His body, already riddled with holes, suffered another hit, and instantly amidst the sizzling noise, at least a thousand fist-sized pustules festered and corroded, exposing, in clear detail, the flesh and inner walls inside.
This scene may not seem much, but what really caused one to gasp and feel an itchy numbness across the body,
Was following Tao Qian's snap of his fingers, the tens of thousands of Plague Toads that had previously spawned and covered Yang Longxi's body suddenly froze, then as if commanded, cried out in unison and began burrowing.
Each Plague Toad was about the size of a fist, just as large as the newly corroded sores.
A perfect fit!
Quite harmonious!
Yet everyone who watched shuddered.
Just thinking about it: countless Plague Toads crawling into one's body through the sores, what would that feel like?
"I would rather die."
Among the Cultivators, even the Evil Magicians couldn't help but think this.
Sure enough, the next moment the sky echoed with an agonizing wail unlike any before.
Yang Longxi, who had lived for a thousand years, was now rolling around in the sky like a madman.
Indeed, Tao Qian's technique still could not harm his core.
As long as he withstands it, he could still kill Tao Qian.
But the pain was truly too much to bear, the kind that sent shivers down one's spine and an itching agony straight into the three souls and seven spirits.
Yang Longxi couldn't remember the last time he had felt such pain, not even when he had been in the Evil Sect and attacked by the Evil Worms.
In just a few breaths, he couldn't withstand it anymore.
Finally, he acted as if he had gone mad, twisting his dragon's mouth, extending his limbs, and beginning to bite and scratch himself, trying to extract the tens of thousands of Plague Toads that had burrowed into his body and wreaked havoc.
But how could this be done? It was only increasing his pain.
Yang Longxi's predicament instantly boosted the deterrent power of the name "Brother Lin Ru Niu" up another level.
Zhong Ziyang, Chen Xiyi, and others were startled and thought, "No wonder the Toad Sect, with their heavenly fortune and the Golden Ingots always by their side, are still classified among the heresy and heterodoxy. That's just one aspect of the Toad Sect; their measures against enemies are too cruel."
All of them saw Brother Lin Ru Niu as a hero on the same path, and though they were shocked, they were neither afraid nor blamed him.
For dealing with Yang Longxi, an old monster who had brought calamity upon the common people, even extreme torture seemed appropriate, not to mention that the Brother Lin had only retaliated in self-defense.
Of course, there were many who were afraid.
Yin Susu, Xu Wenkai, Zheng Zhongxiong, and Xiao Ling'er, who had once battled with Tao Qian and were knocked unconscious individually, initially refused to accept it, believing that Tao Qian had taken advantage of them because they couldn't fight to the death in a sparring match.
If it had been a fight to the death, at least they could have fought back and forth.
Now, all four of them no longer thought so, their thoughts being:
"What a fierce person, he must have held back against us before. From now on, we dare not provoke him; the farther away we stay, the better."
...
After all, Yang Longxi was an infant body at the Ultimate Happiness Realm, having cast a spell to entangle a group of talents.
He had planned to quickly decide the battle, to devour Tao Qian and make an example of him to scare the monkeys.
Normally, he should have succeeded.
Unfortunately, instead of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, he was taught a lesson by the junior Tao Qian.
After howling in pain for a not-so-short period and just getting some relief, disaster struck again.
It was Ying Qingdi, Zhong Ziyang, Chen Xiyi, Qi Daozhen, Shen Ruolan, and more than a dozen other formidable talents from the Great Sects, who had broken free from the entanglement and surrounded him for another killing spree.
"Yang the Elder Monster, stop struggling. Leave this infant body as compost at the New Moon."
"Old monster, meet your end!"
"Kill!"
Yang Longxi was already in a pitiful state after being taught a lesson by Tao Qian, and was unexpectedly attacked by more than a dozen strong juniors.
The Giant Spirit Divine Fist, the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Needle, the Purple Mansion Elixir Flame, the Demon Slaying Sword Qi, and myriad spirit ghosts... all kinds of frightening techniques were unleashed mercilessly upon him.
This time, he finally became terrified.
For his descendant Yang Cang's Evil Dragon Dharma Image shell had not lasted even three breaths, instantly turning into fine powder and dispersing, revealing another delicate Nine Revolutions Evil Dragon inside, which was now being gnawed at by the tens of thousands of Plague Toads.
Even though his bond with his bloodline meant this infant could survive in the world.
But being newborn, he was slightly more fragile and if the beating continued, it was feared he might not last even tens of breaths before being killed.
He had seduced the Jade-faced Immortal Man into casting a spell that allowed his infant body to be summoned into the world, not because he was itching for a challenge or to be tortured by these talented juniors.
He had his own schemes and had already put them into motion, just waiting for the right moment to reap the rewards.
But now, with his life hanging by a thread, he could no longer wait.
Ignoring the pain, he suddenly let out a dragon's roar.
Immediately, his dragon's mouth opened, and within moments, it was about to spew forth a large amount of gold and black color, a bizarre Flame that seemed capable of burning the Void.
Ying Qingdi, who was the closest, immediately felt danger.
Not caring about anything else, he shouted first,
"No good!"
"Quick, retreat, the old monster is going for broke."
"Ziyang, retreat quickly! Divine Fire is dangerous; your Dharma Body can't withstand it."
Mid-sentence, Ying Qingdi saw the dragon's mouth aiming at Zhong Ziyang.
Instinctively, he reached out to grab Zhong Ziyang and flung him to the back while he himself transformed into the Dharma Image of the Giant Spirit Divine General, bravely stepping forward to offer himself up to block Yang Longxi's dragon's mouth.
This scene shocked all the cultivators present.
