Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

Upon hearing the shouts, Lin Xuankong looked outside the stone house. Dark clouds pressed down from the sky, and the air was heavy. Heeding the call, numerous Martial Cultivators from the nearby stone houses rushed out, crossing the chaotic piles of bones on the platform. Their faces were tense as they gazed towards the Profound Iron Chain Bridge.

Lin Xuankong frowned as he walked out of the stone house. From the adjacent stone house, a disheveled Lin Jiao and Nalan Yunzhu ran out. Nalan Yunzhu's face still bore a rosy flush.

Lin Xuankong looked speechless. Such good spirits, no wonder I heard strange sounds for about ten breaths' time just now!

Lin Jiao, Hu Shuo, Xu Bei, and Zhao Yufei stood together near the chaotic bone piles. In the faint morning light, they looked into the distance, their expressions instantly changing.

Near the guard stone house, dozens of Martial Cultivators had already drawn their weapons, each on high alert, their expressions tense.

In the forest on the opposite peak, numerous black, white, blue, and red giant serpents, each over a zhang in length, were slowly writhing. The patterns on these giant serpents were extremely peculiar, resembling various wild beasts and even humanoid forms.

The number of giant serpents was immense. A single glance revealed over a thousand of them, making the entire opposite peak look like a mountain of flesh, as if the whole mountain were slowly writhing...

The Tier Three Martial Cultivators could somewhat stomach this sight, but the Tier Two Martial Cultivators felt their hair stand on end.

Among them, a giant serpent three to four zhang long, its body covered in strange patterns, led over a hundred other giant serpents as it crawled towards them along the Profound Iron Chain Bridge.

As it wriggled, the countless patterns on its body seemed to twist and deform like the souls of innumerable wild beasts, appearing both eerie and imposing.

"How can over a thousand Demons be here so quickly? I heard that in previous Demon Slaying Associations, it took three days for a large number of Demons to be drawn to the gathering place!" a Martial Cultivator exclaimed, his eyes filled with fear, barely able to hold his weapon.

Someone frowned. "Is this nearly half of all the Marsh Python Demons from the vicinity?"

The other Martial Cultivators also looked extremely grim.

"We must block that Tier Three Marsh Python!"

From the crowd, Lii Fenghan, who was tall with long arms, swept his gaze over everyone.

Hearing him, the expressions of the many Martial Cultivators around him changed slightly, and they avoided his gaze.

In battles between Tier Three Demons and Martial Cultivators of the Same Tier, the Martial Cultivator was usually the one who got brutally beaten. Especially when facing the virtually unkillable Tier Three Marsh Python, almost no one was willing to take the lead.

Near the stone house, a hint of determination appeared on Zhao Yufei's cold, beautiful face.

She handed the fierce hound beside her to Xu Bei and stepped forward. "I will fight it!"

Just yesterday, Lii Fenghan had humiliated Zhao Yufei and the Yin Talisman Sect before countless people. As the treasured daughter of the Zhao Family, how could she swallow this insult? Naturally, she intended to use this battle to show everyone her true strength!

Hearing this, Lii Fenghan turned his head. Seeing it was Zhao Yufei, his brows furrowed.

The six-eyed, six-armed San Gu said coldly, "Zhao Yufei? Although you possess the Silver Hook Armor, you are merely at the Late Stage of Tier Three. You're no match for a Tier Three Marsh Python, which can regenerate endlessly!"

Zhao Yufei's pretty face stiffened, and her hands gripping the Silver Hook paled slightly. "I..."

Her heart filled with shame and indignation. Before entering the valley, she, ranked eighteenth on the Hero List, had been so full of valor! Who would have thought that after gathering with the prodigies of the Great Marsh Hundred Cities, she would be so utterly disregarded!

Seeing her at a loss for words, the six-eyed, six-armed San Gu sneered and looked at Lii Fenghan. "Brother Lii, why don't you go kill this Tier Three Marsh Python and show Zhao Yufei of the Yin Talisman Sect what true strength looks like!"

At San Gu's words, Lii Fenghan's expression shifted. He picked up the giant hammer at his feet, glanced at the Martial Cultivators avoiding his gaze, and declared, "Fine! Then I shall show these Demons what it means for one man to hold a pass against ten thousand!"

San Gu's six eyes moved in unison as he smiled and nodded.

Lii Fenghan then leaped lightly, clearing over thirty zhang to land on the Chain Bridge.

Then, his Qi Blood surged throughout his body as he let out a mighty roar. Numerous Forehead Scales materialized and swirled around the Profound Iron Hammer in his hands, encasing his entire body in protection. He transformed into a black shadow, smashing down towards the giant serpent's head!

Watching this, Lin Xuankong thought to himself, I've carefully studied information about the five kinds of Demons in the Demon-Suppressing Valley. However, this is my first time facing them, so it's better to observe the Marsh Python's abilities first before making a move. Besides, the arrogant Lii Fenghan and San Gu have repeatedly humiliated the Yin Talisman Sect; it's fitting to let them take the lead.

As these thoughts crossed his mind, the Profound Iron Chain Bridge connecting the two mountains began to shake violently. The man and the python had already clashed.

Lii Fenghan, ranked fourteenth on the Hero List, naturally possessed a fierce Hammer Technique and was highly skilled in Body Technique. He moved with terrifying speed across the dozen or so Profound Iron Chains, almost like a phantom.

Each time he swung the Profound Iron Hammer, it fiercely struck the Tier Three giant python's head or chest, sending out vast ripples through the air with every impact, a display of unparalleled might!

Yet, the Tier Three giant python, despite its enormous size, was exceedingly agile. It twisted its body and head rapidly, continuously spewing inky-black Demon Qi from its massive maw. This Demon Qi swirled around them, relentlessly trying to corrode Lii Fenghan.

Between its attacks, it would occasionally take a sudden, deep breath, sucking in a large amount of Demon Qi that was almost tangible. This created a powerful vortex, attempting to draw Lii Fenghan into its mouth.

Whenever this happened, Lii Fenghan would let out an explosive shout. His figure would flash, retreating several zhang in an instant to evade the terrifying suction force!
