An immense oppressive force descended from the sky.
The moment before, the Life-Buying Ghost that was rampant with yin energy suddenly felt so suppressed that it was hard to breathe.
A fear from deep within its soul made it involuntarily tremble.
"My god, what is this?"
The Life-Buying Ghost looked up, trembling as it gazed at the black clouds overhead.
At that moment, inside it, lightning flashed and thunder roared, exuding a terrifying might of the heavens!
All demons and spirits are terrified of celestial thunder.
The Five Thunders Righteous Method, moreover, is the highest thunder skill of the Daoist Holy Land Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and its destructive power against evil entities is more than tenfold!
It can be said.
Earlier, Du Chong facing this thunder skill, felt only psychological fear.
But the Life-Buying Ghost, just feeling the oppressive force of the celestial thunder, made its soul tremble, nearly to the point of shattering!
"Who are you?"
The Life-Buying Ghost shouted angrily at Chao Lin Heng, filled with surprise and anger.
"I'm your father!"
Lin Heng didn't hold back at all.
Enemies meeting face to face, and glaring with hatred, this betrayer killed Master Qingxu and won't let him go!
Lin Heng didn't even want to waste words with it.
"Five Thunders Righteous Method, strike for me!"
Lin Heng waved his hand down.
The Five Viscera Innate True Qi surged, and within the black clouds, lightning raged, hundreds of bolts as thick as barrels roared like dragon mingles, rushing towards the Life-Buying Ghost.
"No! No!!"
The Life-Buying Ghost screamed in terror.
The earlier teasing playfulness vanished, replaced by extreme fear.
The celestial thunder approached.
The Life-Buying Ghost wanted to escape but found itself immobilized under the oppressive force of the celestial thunder.
Its pupils shrank dramatically, filled with despair and regret.
"Ah!!!"
Accompanied by a shrill scream.
The Life-Buying Ghost didn't even have room to struggle, being directly blasted to ashes.
Hmm?
Hundreds of miles away.
In an abandoned City God Temple located in the wilderness, a huge evil spirit resembling a City God suddenly opened its eyes.
"The Short-lived Ghost was killed?"
"What happened?"
The Evil Spirit City God was puzzled and uncertain.
The Short-lived Ghost was a capable subordinate, responsible for devouring others' life spans.
Tonight, it was supposed to take the life of a worthless Daoist.
Yet, just now, in the City God Temple, the Yin Lamp related to the Short-lived Ghost went out!
"Could it be that the Spirit Suppression Bureau took action?"
The Evil Spirit City God's eyes flickered, filled with doubt.
In this world, as demons reawaken, the Daoist Holy Land is already overwhelmed.
In various Daoist Temples, there's simply no elite master stationed.
Qingfeng Daoist Temple only has an incompetent young Daoist, logically posing no threat to the Short-lived Ghost.
As for people from Buddhism, competing for incense offerings, they would never intervene to save a Daoist!
As for the Spirit Suppression Bureau?
Their role is mainly to maintain urban stability, no reason to specifically dispatch experts to Qingfeng Daoist Temple on White Cliff Mountain!
"Could it be that there's a special magical artifact in that temple?"
The Evil Spirit City God squinted slightly.
Although Qingfeng Daoist Temple has declined, decades ago, it produced many Daoists.
The idea of having treasures for protection isn't impossible!
With this thought, the Evil Spirit City God was contemplative.
"Tomorrow night, let the Shadow Soldiers cross the border to see what's going on!"
...
Qingfeng Daoist Temple.
As the thunder gradually subsided, the Life-Buying Ghost had vanished without a trace.
In front of Lin Heng, captions floated by as promised.
[You have slain a Postnatal Ghost, Cultivation +300]
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to Qi Refining Ninth Layer!]
As the system notification just passed, Lin Heng immediately felt a surge of immense Spiritual Qi rushing into his entire being.
The sound of creaking was unending.
In that instant.
Lin Heng's entire body was filled with power, the exhaustion from using the Five Thunders Righteous Method twice was swept away.
Lin Heng felt as if he could punch and kill a fierce tiger now!
"Is this what cultivation feels like?"
"Fantastic!"
Lin Heng was delighted.
When Master Qingxu was alive, he mentioned that the cultivation of the current world is divided into Qi Refining, Postnatal, Innate, Profound Communication, Divine Enlightenment, and so on.
Although the Qi Refining Realm is the lowest level.
In today's world, those who can truly enter cultivation are one in a hundred thousand.
Even Master Qingxu, called a master by the locals, in reality, never crossed the threshold of cultivation in his life.
But Lin Heng instantly leaped from an ordinary person to the peak of Qi Refining.
This speed, even within the Daoist Holy Land, could be considered astonishing!
This shows how domineering the system's function of slaying demons to increase cultivation is!
No training needed, just eliminate evil spirits, and your cultivation skyrockets!
Truly impressive!
Apart from that, there's something even more delightful for Lin Heng.
His aged body had returned to its original state.
His hunchback straightened up, his graying hair turned black again, and his wrinkled face returned to handsomeness.
Lin Heng took out a copper mirror.
The reflection showed him with a tall, graceful figure, extraordinarily handsome features.
With cultivation, he even gained a transcendent aura of ethereal grace beyond the past!
It's no exaggeration to say, with his current self, he could overshadow many male idols even in the entertainment industry!
Simply stunning!
"It's great to be young."
Lin Heng sighed sincerely, then remembered there was still a body outside to deal with.
As for that streamed broadcast, it probably gained quite a bit of popularity.
During the time he dealt with the Life-Buying Ghost, the subtitles in his mind kept flashing, with Reputation Value +1+1+1+1, now reaching eight or nine hundred reputation points.
I must say, this reward is quite satisfying!
Dialing the emergency number, Lin Heng calmly explained the situation.
"Yes, this humble Daoist isn't sure what happened either."
"I just heard a thunderclap, then a scream outside the temple."
"When I came out, the person was beyond saving."
"You better come and handle it."
"All scorched, alas!"
...
Du Chong's incident had already spread across the Douya Platform.
Sparking much curiosity.
And as some viewers of the livestream uploaded the recorded video online, it instantly caused a heated discussion.
Several hot search terms quickly made it to major media homepages.
#Explosive, prank streamer pretends to be a zombie to debunk a fake Daoist, but runs into a real pro?#
#Aged Daoist couldn't bear the humiliation, summoned roaring thunder in anger!#

Countless night owls participated in this lively debate.

Combined into a news headline, it stirred the curiosity of countless night owls.
Initially, everyone checked it out driven by curiosity.
Although the title indicated the event, netizens didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just media hype by deceitful outlets!
But after watching the full event and the clear stream recording, everyone was dumbfounded!
Nobody expected, this time the media was actually telling the truth?!
