Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 537 - 365: Tao Qian’s Divine Skills Resemble Those of an Evil Demon, Only Then Recognizing the Toad Sect as Heterodox

Yang Longxi applied Buddhist Law and established the Dazang Barrier, summoning Daoist Soldiers and Buddha Generals. His intention was to teach a hard-hitting lesson to this group of young folks with formidable backgrounds.

At first, he was quite successful.

Even Zhong Ziyang and Chen Xiyi, the prodigies from Taishang Dao's Fangcun Mountain, were suppressed by his casually unleashed Divine Skills. Within 15 minutes, they were unable to break free. All that remained was for him to devour that little Toad Sect creature, then his terrifying strength, accumulated over many years, would be witnessed by all.

Little did he expect that in his attempt to "kill the chicken to scare the monkey," he had chosen the wrong target and inadvertently kicked an iron plate.

The Heavenly Plague Toad Oil was, after all, secreted from the body of an Outer Realm Divine Spirit.

Though his infant body possessed Ultimate Happiness Realm, it would not die from the poison; however, suffering was inevitable.

Yang Longxi could no longer focus on consuming toad meat, as he wailed and curled up into a ball. On the surface of his Dharma Body, items like the Dragon Scale Meat Tumor rotted and peeled off in succession. Then, patches of various sizes appeared, indicative of various plagues, each forming pus and giving birth to palm-sized, foul-smelling, squawking Plague Toads.

In an instant, the old monster completely lost his previous majestic and domineering appearance.

What's more tragic was his howling and struggling as he twisted and writhed, trying to alleviate the pain.

Yet, misfortune always struck, like accidentally bumping into the Barrier he himself laid out, seeing stars and getting dizzy, or when he stumbled and was incidentally hit by the Divine Skills released by Zhong Ziyang and Chen Xiyi.

Clearly, this was another effect of the Toad oil: reducing his fortune and luck.

To be unlucky once divested of good fortune,

turned the old monster's infant body into such a pitiful state.

Everyone was astonished and turned their gaze towards Tao Qian, who had turned into a Toad man.

Using Heavenly Plague Toad Oil came at the cost: transforming into a Plague Toad.

This meant that he should now be a true, foul-smelling, ugly toad.

However, due to his Abnormal Soul layered with the Spirit Treasure Sublime Body, he was exempted from most of the effects and only underwent some mutations.

Now looking at him, he wasn't the least bit ugly; on the contrary, he possessed a kind of Alien Charm.

Plus, with that Golden Light enveloping his body, he looked like a Golden Toad scattering wealth.

When Tao Qian first gained the title of "Master Skull Smashing," his reputation had surged past many Ancestor Dragon Society members, chasing after the likes of Zhong Ziyang and Ying Qingdi.

Now, he could probably sit alongside these two, with an even more formidable name.

The reason was simple; his methods were quite revolting.

Yang Longxi had taken the bait!

Doesn't that mean that no one present could be exempt?

Regardless of their stance, righteous or evil, they all thought:

"What a Mr. Lin Daoist, possessing such extraordinary abilities. Although that old monster self-maimed to entangle the talented youths and his Cultivation Realm plummeted from Ultimate Happiness, the extent of the poisoning is still hard to bear."

"The Secret of the Toad Sect is terrifying indeed."

"Tsk tsk, the Toad Sect is claimed to be among the top three Side Doors; it was thought to be boasting, but now it seems they indeed possess such strength."

"This lad claims to be a disciple of the Toad Sect, his Mana and Divine Skills are in no way inferior to a Taishang True Inheritor like Zhong Ziyang. Why was he unknown before? Now in New Moon Province, it's as if he suddenly leaped out of a rock, truly bizarre, utterly bizarre."

"In the future, you may provoke anyone you wish, but best not provoke those toad Daoists of the Toad Sect, especially those holding a Wa Dang and clutching a Toad Pearl. Keep as far away as possible."

...

While the cultivators were still in shock, the scene that was somewhat "cruel" yet satisfying unfolded once more.

In the sky, Tao Qian held in one hand the mostly sucked oil bead, which now had a hole like a furry oil cloth bag, still leaking a frigid, fishy odor. With the other hand, he formed a Seal, summoning the "Round Light Illusion Mirror" to take a look at his current appearance.

Although he had anticipated it, he was still disgusted by his own ugliness.

Added to that, his mouth still bore the remnants of the oily stench. Rage surged from his heart, and viciousness filled his courage as he said to the still howling Yang Longxi:

"Old monster, now who should be begging for mercy?"

"But even if you knelt down and begged me, it would be useless. If I don't smash your skull to pieces, brains splattered everywhere, how could I release this pent-up anger in my heart?"

"Take that, and that, and that!"

Before he finished speaking,

Tao Qian summoned the Toad God Tile again, and while Yang Longxi was in a vulnerable state, he relentlessly sought revenge.

Although everyone knew that Yang Longxi's pitiable state was due to the toad poison and his actual combat strength hadn't suffered too much,

as soon as he got through it, he would soon oppress the prodigies again.

But Tao Qian didn't care; he was intent on taking revenge.

Before taking action, he wasn't just cautious but deliberately kept his distance.

He instilled Mana into the Wa Dang and flung it. The treasure became more excited, not even hiding its Divine Light. Accompanied by "thumps," without missing a single hit, it continuously struck the back of Yang Longxi's head.

Initially, the blows resulted in surges of Golden Light and sparks flying in all directions.

Eventually, they broke through his defenses, the area turned bare by brutal strikes, the skull collapsed, and a mix of yellow and white fluid poured out like tofu pudding, splattering all around as if a stream of frothy water had emerged from that spot, only with an unbearable stench that spread for miles.

The Wa Dang didn't stop; it kept on smashing.

In the air, the light from the Wa Dang was creating starry afterimages.

This brutal sight stunned both the righteous and evil sides alike.

Even Zhong Ziyang and Lin Bujue, the two who had dealt with Tao Qian the most and thought they understood "Mr. Lin Daoist's" temperament well, couldn't help but think now:

"Brother Lin is truly fierce, making me seem gentle as his younger brother."

"I didn't expect Mr. Lin Daoist, apart from his good nature, to also have such a strong vengeful side. The Dragon Rhino Old Monster is in for suffering, haha."

The cultivators were dealing with the ongoing entanglement with the Daoist Soldiers and Buddha Generals while enjoying the spectacle.

As for Yang Longxi, the victim, rage was nearly solidifying in his heart.
