Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

For a moment, as the Kui Ox Drum vibrated, Lin Xuankong and the others' Qi Blood stagnated, while the strength of the numerous powerful enemies opposite them surged several times. The tide of battle turned sharply against them! This Kui Ox Divine Drum, as a treasure of legacy, truly possessed profound power!

Han Feiyan's expression changed drastically, and she shouted, "Daoist Zhao, Master Lin, retreat quickly! Under the Kui Ox Drum, our strength wanes while theirs waxes! All enemies will have their strength boosted, and they have too many experts on their side. Don't fight head-on; it's better to live to fight another day!"

Zhao Yufei's delicate face turned stern. The Silver Hook in her hand flashed with brilliance, and with a determined look, she stood beside Lin Xuankong, her gaze fixed on the rapidly approaching San Gu.

At this very moment, BOOM...

A large amount of Demon Qi billowed out. A gigantic Ghost Frog King materialized before the charging San Gu. From its enormous frog-like mouth, hundreds of tentacle-like red Long Tongues suddenly shot out, lashing towards the wide-eyed San Gu!

Although San Gu's battle intent was soaring, he still retained some rationality. He was shocked to see such a colossal demon appear before him. Seeing countless Long Tongues whipping towards him, his eyes filled with horror. He roared and swiftly dodged to the side!

Suddenly, the sky brightened!

Standing beside the enormous Ghost Frog King, Lin Xuankong's right hand blazed with an intensely brilliant light!

Aurora Shining Heaven!

"Damn!"

"AH!"

"Crap!"

The thirty-plus Martial Cultivators, whose power had surged and whose battle intent had been soaring, all cried out in alarm, clapping hands over their eyes which burned with excruciating pain. Lin Xuankong's timing was impeccable!

Just as everyone's attention was riveted on the suddenly appearing Ghost Frog King, in that critical instant, he unleashed the Aurora Heaven-Brightening Technique!

Even San Gu, who had been wary of Lin Xuankong potentially using a flash attack, was caught off guard due to the distraction, let alone those Martial Cultivators who were less vigilant!

Feng Zhulong, San Gu, Guo Chui, and the others all suffered corroded eyes and were instantly blinded. Even Zhao Yufei, Han Feiyan, and Han Xiu, who had focused their attention on the Ghost Frog Demon, were momentarily blinded!

Zhao Yufei and her group were slightly better off, as Lin Xuankong was the one who had activated this Thunder Technique. However, the Martial Cultivators on the opposing side were utterly horrified!

Now blind, the crowd was immediately terrified, their morale more than halved. The numerous Martial Cultivators retreated without hesitation, moving even faster than when they had charged forward!

Guo Chui and Feng Zhulong quickly fumbled for the Jade Bottles at their waists, intending to retrieve the Marsh Python Juice prepared by their elders and apply it to their eyes!

"AHHHH~~~~~"

San Gu's bloodcurdling scream suddenly pierced the air. Though abruptly blinded, he had managed to evade the first assault of the Ghost Frog King's hundreds of Long Tongues with his agile reflexes. However, he couldn't evade Lin Xuankong, who had used the Shadow Concealment Primordial Technique to close in. Countless Divine Thunder attacks, crackling with terrifying power, struck the six eye-slits exposed on his Battle Armor, rapidly depleting his Qi Blood!

"Ah, I am unwilling…"

San Gu's voice died abruptly. With his Qi Blood swiftly exhausted, his six eyes and six arms turned to ash on the spot, his body charred to a husk!

Even in his dying moments, this six-eyed Cultivator, who had once intimidated everyone in the Xun Branch Gathering Place and had become a disciple of the Holy Dragon Association, couldn't accept it. Why had the Great Marsh's foremost poison, White Snake Venom, failed? Why was Feng Zhulong's Soul-Devouring Spirit Cat incinerated upon a single encounter? Why was this Lin Xuankong so lucky to have obtained not only the Marsh Python Demon Pearl but also an even fiercer Ghost Frog Demon Pearl? In the instant his Divine Soul lost consciousness, he suddenly realized that perhaps the biggest mistake of his life was stealing that old man's Marsh Python Demon Pearl!

Elsewhere, Feng Zhulong, having just retrieved his Marsh Python Gallbladder Bottle, cried out in shock. He was about to open the bottle when his hand suddenly became empty; the bottle had been snatched away by the Shadow of the Black Soul opposite him. Feng Zhulong, in turn, was swallowed whole by the enormous Ghost Frog King leaping over!

Sounds of THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! emanated from the Ghost Frog King's belly. However, those fierce sounds of attack were merely Feng Zhulong's futile struggles before he was reduced to bloody water!

Immediately afterward, the Ghost Frog King bounded towards the thirty-plus fleeing Martial Cultivators. These Martial Cultivators, their strength greatly increased by the Kui Ox Drum, were running at extreme speeds. Yet, they were in the rugged mountain jungle, filled with giant trees, shrubs, small hills, and other obstacles. The blinded warriors stumbled as they ran, crashing into giant trees or tumbling over small hills, significantly hindering their escape speed.

The Ghost Frog Demon suddenly opened its huge mouth, its hundreds of Long Tongues shooting out, instantly extending for many tens of feet, aiming in all directions. These Long Tongues swiftly ensnared the Martial Cultivators, who were running around like headless chickens, and dragged them, amidst their desperate cries, into its giant maw!

The entire jungle was in absolute chaos. The frantic footsteps, screams, and impotent, furious curses of the third-layer Martial Cultivators echoed everywhere. One after another, they were caught by the Long Tongues and swiftly pulled into the giant frog's mouth. Its belly seemed like a terrifying, insatiable abyss...

「After six breaths,」

The forest finally fell silent!

The once terrifyingly fierce sixth son of the Feng Family from the Zhen Branch Gathering Place, Feng Zhulong, was dead. The once menacing San Gu from the Xun Branch Gathering Place was dead. Several four-armed Martial Cultivators were dead. All those Martial Cultivators San Gu had secretly gathered had also turned into bloody water in the Ghost Frog King's belly!

Six breaths. This was far from Lin Xuankong's true limit; he hadn't even used Treasures like the Twin Vine Demon Pearl, Manluo Demon Pearl, Soul-Extinction Celestial Thunder, or Ruyi Battle Armor. If he had used all his Treasures…

In the forest, Guo Chui, who was running fast, was the only one left alive. The next moment, as he was fleeing frantically, his steps suddenly faltered, and he stopped!

After being blinded, he had just taken out his Jade Bottle of Marsh Python Gall when a spreading shadow snatched it away. Thus, this Eldest Young Master of the Guo Family had not recovered his sight and was still blind.

At this moment, Guo Chui, his eyes festering, heard footsteps blocking his path and said hatefully, "That Thunder Technique of the Yin Talisman Sect is utterly shameless! It's truly a despicable method!"

Zhao Yufei, who had regained her sight using Marsh Python Gall, walked up to him, her eyes coldly staring at him. "Shameless? The Martial Dao and Abnormal Techniques themselves have no high or low morality; it only depends on the person using them! The most laughable thing is that you actually know the word 'shameless'! You wantonly slaughtered Martial Cultivators in Cold Fragrance Valley—wasn't that shameless? You wantonly abused those Female Martial Cultivators in Cold Fragrance Valley—wasn't that shameless? The word 'shameless' coming from your mouth is the true shamelessness! You think you're worthy of proposing to me?"

Guo Chui's face twisted, his expression growing even more sinister. "Zhao Yufei, so what if you've won? You don't dare to kill me; neither you nor Lin Xuankong dares to kill me, because you know the consequences if I die! I am the most valued descendant of the entire Guo Family. The priceless Kui Ox Valley and Soul-Stabilizing Jade are both on my person. If I die here, once the Demon Slaying Conference ends, my father will definitely use the Guo Family's most powerful Treasures to directly identify the murderer! My Guo Family has a legacy of nearly a thousand years, possessing countless Treasures and innumerable methods to find the true culprit!"

After speaking, a hint of arrogance appeared on Guo Chui's face. He spread his arms wide, adopting a stance of complete surrender. "If you don't believe me, you can try killing me now! If you truly dare to kill me, in the future, you will wish for death but find no release! The Zhao Family and the Yin Talisman Sect will be uprooted by my Guo Family's countless Martial Cultivators!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yufei's brow furrowed slightly, a trace of apprehension in her eyes. Everyone has a weakness, and the hundreds of lives in the Zhao Family, along with its future, were hers.

Just then, Lin Xuankong walked past her, his expression calm, carrying a Silver Saber as he approached Guo Chui.
