Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

Three streaks of Cyan Radiance True Qi shot forth with terrifying power. The red-faced man, a Martial Cultivator at the Early Stage of the Fourth Layer, was the first to react, decisively activating the Exorcism Equipment on his body. Simultaneously, one streak of Cyan Radiance True Qi struck his Exorcism Equipment. Blocked by the Exorcism Equipment, the Cyan Radiance True Qi immediately created a shower of sparks on the armor's surface. The violent Cyan Radiance True Qi sent the Exorcism Equipment, along with the red-faced man, flying back over ten zhang, and the streak of Cyan Radiance True Qi continued to spin, furiously depleting the Qi Blood within his body!

After three breaths, the red-faced man, a master of the Fourth Layer whose Qi Blood was now exhausted, saw his expression change drastically. The Exorcism Equipment on his body reverted to its weapon form, and the streak of Cyan Radiance True Qi pierced directly through his abdomen, ripping a huge, penetrating wound that exposed his mangled intestines!

The other two streaks of Cyan Radiance True Qi had already shot towards the Martial Cultivators who were demanding payment. In less than a breath, eighteen Martial Cultivators had their legs shattered by the Cyan Radiance True Qi! Without the protection of Exorcism Equipment and lacking the speed to evade the Cyan Radiance True Qi, the robust bodies and Qi Blood defenses these Second Layer and Third Layer Martial Cultivators prided themselves on were utterly useless. Before this Cyan Radiance True Qi, so condensed it was almost tangible and countless times more potent, they couldn't even resist for an instant!

Suddenly, the square echoed with a chorus of wretched screams. Eighteen Martial Cultivators, each missing the lower half of their bodies, rolled and struggled on the ground. Copious amounts of blood, mixed with severed limbs and mangled flesh, stained that section of the square crimson. The sight was horrifying, and the overwhelming stench of blood was nauseating, like a scene from an Asura Hell! Second Layer, Third Layer, and Early Stage Fourth Layer Martial Cultivators, in the presence of a Fifth Layer Martial Cultivator wielding Condensed True Qi attacks, were like a brood of chicks facing a hawk—utterly fragile, helpless, and unable to even flee!

At this moment, Yan Yunfei had already been forced back one hundred seventy or eighty zhang by the streaks of Cyan Radiance True Qi. He continuously swung his longsword in the main street, conjuring Sword Qi to counter the Cyan Radiance True Qi, but he was completely suppressed by it, unable to break free!

It wasn't until this moment that a Martial Cultivator clad in Emerald Exorcism Armor emerged from the gate of the Zhang Residence. It was the Feng Family's eldest son, the short, portly, narrow-eyed Feng Zhushi. He casually swung the emerald longsword that extended from his Emerald Exorcism Armor, and one streak of Cyan Radiance True Qi after another shot out from it, instantly crossing nearly two hundred zhang to spiral and slash towards Yan Yunfei!

After more than ten breaths, Yan Yunfei, who could only defend, finally made a critical error and was struck on the right shoulder by a streak of Cyan Radiance True Qi. He hastily channeled all his silver True Qi to defend, but under the relentless barrage of dozens of surrounding Cyan Radiance True Qi streaks, his protective silver True Qi rapidly dissipated. After three more breaths, Yan Yunfei screamed miserably; his arm and a leg were severed, and his entire body was riddled with dozens of penetrating wounds from the Cyan Radiance True Qi...

"The Sect Leader of a mere declining Seven Swords Sect dares to act so arrogantly at the gates of my Feng Family!" Feng Zhushi declared. Displaying his powerful True Qi attacks, though short and portly, clad in his Emerald Exorcism Armor and wielding his longsword, he exuded an unparalleled might.

The Martial Cultivators still standing in the square trembled, their faces pale, daring neither to look directly at him nor to make a reckless move in the face of Feng Zhushi's terrifying display! A Fifth Layer expert! His ferocious might was overwhelming, truly terrifying!

Feng Zhushi then cast a cold glance at Lin Xuankong and the other Martial Cultivators, turned, and walked towards the residence. He didn't even spare them a second glance, as if these numerous, fairly capable Second Layer and Third Layer Martial Cultivators were merely ants unworthy of his attention!

Then, his calm yet infinitely menacing voice drifted out, "The Feng Family never shirks its debts. After my sixth brother's funeral rites are completed, in two months, anyone can come to collect their debts. At that time, I will personally await any fellow cultivators who come to demand payment. We'll see if you dare to come then!"

Seeing him return to the residence, the surrounding Martial Cultivators finally dared to move, each one fleeing into the distance. The dozen or so Martial Cultivators with shattered legs were all using their hands to drag themselves away... Of the forty to fifty Second Layer and Third Layer Martial Cultivators present, not a single one now dared to linger at the entrance of the Feng Family Mansion!

One could only imagine that two months later, not a single person would dare to come asking for payment... Was that asking for payment? That was asking for death!

Even Lin Xuankong was forcefully dragged away by Lin Jiao towards the main street, no longer daring to utter a single word about exchanging for silver taels!

Lin Xuankong turned to look back at the Feng Family Mansion. That display from the Feng Family's eldest son, Feng Zhushi, was truly terrifying and incredible! After opening the Sunflower Water Vein, a Fifth Layer expert possessing such methods is truly worthy of being called a True Qi master, far beyond what an ordinary Fourth Layer cultivator could contend with! Even though I'm at the Late Stage of the Fourth Layer and, with my explosive techniques, can match the flight speed of that Cyan Radiance True Qi, if a Fifth Layer Martial Cultivator attacked me constantly from a distance, it would be extremely troublesome. If I were surrounded by those countless streaks of Cyan Radiance True Qi, continuously suppressed... Unless I resort to methods beyond Martial Dao, or use Treasures or the Demon Pearl, only then would I have a chance to win, a chance to kill him! The crucial point is, this Feng Zhushi is merely the Feng Family's eldest son. There are several other Fifth Layer experts within the Feng Family Mansion, and countless onlookers around! This is not the time to reveal my true strength and my many trump cards.

Lin Xuankong's brow furrowed deeply. It's just that this Feng Zhushi is so damnably shameless! He talks about never shirking debts, yet he uses brute force to seize the principal of so many Martial Cultivators, including my Exorcism Hand! One Exorcism Hand is insignificant, but that was a gift from Ma Jiang back then. If not for that Exorcism Hand, how could I have obtained the Demon People's Essence and so many other resources at that time!
