Chapter 69 – 67: Counterattack_1
There was no ti for rest, and the frenzied Lin Tianming took no chances. Seizing the opportunity, he activated the already laid Sword Array, enveloping the Chen Surna Cultivator within the confines of the formation.
Feeling the oppressive power of the Sword Array, the Chen Surna Cultivator was terrified and desperately tried to escape the reach of the Sword Array.
Overwheld by the Sword Array, dodging the roaming Sword Qi within, the restrained Chen Surna Cultivator faced an unprecedented dilemma.
Under heavy pressure, the Chen Surna Cultivator dared not be careless.
Without any reservations, he threw out all the Attack Talismans he had at his disposal. Among the colorful dozen or so talismans, most were of dium Grade, with only a few of High Quality.
The combined power of the dozen talismans was exceptionally violent, like a tempest of snow and rain. Pouring down, they fiercely struck the formation’s light barrier.
A trembling that could shake the earth and mountains followed, and within a few breaths of ti, the light barrier shattered.
With the Earth Fiend Sword Formation broken, Lin Tianming once again coughed up blood, his spirit damaged and injured yet again.
Ignoring his own injuries, Lin Tianming threw out three Attack Talismans, transforming into three Golden Light Greatswords, and shot straight towards the Chen Surna Cultivator.
Behind him, Lin Xingzhi was also exerting his Technique Divine Power, condensing a golden Sword Qi that hovered above his head.
“Go…”
Under their pincer attack, they gave no quarter.
With an explosive sound, the Golden Light Greatswords pierced through the body of the Chen Surna Cultivator.
Lin Tianming and his companion collapsed to the ground, gasping for air with a look of extre exhaustion.
Seeing the Chen Surna Cultivator’s grueso death, the cultivators being attacked by Lin Xingcheng were shocked. In their mont of distraction, Lin Xingcheng seized the opportunity and killed them on the spot.
As Lin Tianming and the others’ battle concluded, the confrontation between Lin Shiji and Song Lixin was reaching its end.
Lin Shiji had been at the Great Perfection Realm for nearly thirty years, having reached its peak. He had served as the Law Enforcent Hall Master for decades, experienced in many battles, with countless cultivators and Monster Beasts falling at his hands. His combat experience was ample, and his wealth was beyond what ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators could compare to. Song Lixin, even in his pri, was no match for him.
As ti went on, and with his Spiritual Power depleted, Song Lixin’s injuries worsened under Lin Shiji’s relentless attacks—he was at the end of his rope.
The freed Lin Family mbers, working together to besiege him, were too much for Song Lixin to handle.
Facing attacks from all directions and drained of energy, Song Lixin was deeply unwilling to yield.
In despair, Song Lixin went completely mad.
“Hmph! If I must die, I’ll take two with .”
He took out a radiant red talisman from his storage bag. A strong aura spilled out, clearly a Second Order talisman, its ferocity not much less than the Golden Sword Talisman Lin Tianming had purchased.
In rage, he threw it into the sky, and instantly from the talisman, a Monster Beast Soul burst forth and fiercely lunged toward Lin Shiji.
Recognizing the aura of a Second Order talisman, Lin Shiji panicked and bellowed:
“Get out of the way!”
Everyone scattered, fleeing in all directions. Lin Tianming threw out two First Order Superior Defense Talismans, transforming them into two earthen walls in front of Lin Shiji.
No sooner had he thrown the talismans than he leaped into the air, soaring a hundred yards up.
Song Lixin had gone completely mad, directing all his resentnt towards Lin Shiji, determined to drag him down even in death.
Unbelievably, Song Lixin possessed a Second Order talisman—sothing no one had anticipated. All one could do was silently pray that Lin Shiji would survive this calamity.
Facing the astonishly fast Monster Beast Soul, Lin Shiji could no longer dodge and had to resist with all his might. If he could withstand it, he would survive; if not, he would perish alongside his attacker.
In a rush, he pulled a Blood-red Jade Pendant from his storage bag, its surface wreathed with Spiritual Energy, clearly no ordinary item.
Injecting a Law Decree, the Blood-red Jade Pendant swelled to several yards in size, sheltering Lin Shiji closely behind it.
Just as the jade pendant protected Lin Shiji, the ferocious beast soul slamd into the earthen wall with a loud impact.
The first barrier was broken!
The second barrier managed to hold for a mont before also shattering with a loud bang.
“Boom…”
The mont the demonic beast soul struck the blood-red jade pendant, it exploded, sending Lin Shiji flying with the violent shock waves. He crashed through several large trees before finally coming to a stop.
A Second Order talisman, comparable to the full-force strike of a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, was terrifying indeed.
At this mont, Lin Shiji’s body was in tatters, his breath weak and faltering, covered in wounds from head to toe. Several ribs were completely broken, and he spat out blood before falling into unconsciousness.
All the Lin Family mbers were injured. Lin Xingzhi, the closest to Lin Shiji, was ntally shaken by the re remnants of the blast, vomiting several mouthfuls of blood. Had he been the one attacked, he would likely have fallen.
The other mbers of the clan were further away and suffered only superficial injuries, which were not serious.
Steadying himself from the blast, Lin Tianming imdiately rushed over and held Lin Shiji tightly, calling out hurriedly.
“Elder Wu, please wake up!”
In his panic, Lin Tianming shouted several tis without any response, and took out two Consolidating Essence Pills, making Lin Shiji swallow them.
At this mont, all the Lin Family mbers’ eyes were filled with murderous intent. Lin Xingcheng and a few others slashed out in anger, sending ferocious sword qi at Song Lixin.
Song Lixin, drained of all spiritual power, was completely despairing, making no attempt to dodge or defend, clearly resigning himself to his fate.
With a scream, Song Lixin fell heavily to the ground.
After more than ten attacks, Song Lixin’s body was torn apart, leaving behind only two dark green storage bags.
Having killed Song Lixin, the recovered Lin Xingzhi and the others imdiately ran over to Lin Tianming’s side, looking at Lin Shiji with concern.
Lin Xingzhi checked Lin Shiji’s condition and breathed a sigh of relief, consoling everyone.
“Uncle Wu is still breathing, just severely injured and not in any imdiate danger. Tianming has already made him take two Consolidating Essence Pills. He just needs to rest quietly for a while and should be able to recover.”
Upon hearing Lin Xingzhi’s words, everyone finally relaxed.
Lin Shiji, being of a high seniority and old age, if anything happened to him, it would be difficult to explain to the clan.
With Lin Shiji unconscious and Lin Xingzhi being older in both age and cultivation, he temporarily beca the backbone of the Lin Family.
“Tianfeng, Tianhong, the two of you stay and watch over Uncle Wu. Everyone else, quickly clean up the battlefield. We must also collect the Jade Spirit Fruit. Lastly, gather all the spoils of war together. I will register them, and we’ll hand them over to the clan for processing!”
“Understood!”
Everyone nodded and set to work.
Lin Tianming looked over the small hill that was in disarray, strewn with various limbs and the bodies of dozens of Yellow Spirit Monkeys.
Picking up the storage bags of several people and handing them to Lin Xingzhi, he also processed the bodies of the Yellow Spirit Monkeys, taking the demon cores and so useful crafting materials, filling several storage bags.
After half an hour, the originally tragic site looked much better, at least not as bloody.
All the clanspeople sat together on the ground, taking Huiyuan Pills to recover their spiritual power, while Lin Tianfeng and Lin Tianhong remained to protect them.
After half an hour of cultivation, the clanspeople had recovered a fair amount of spiritual power and now had so self-defensive capability.
The injured Lin Shiji, with the help of the Consolidating Essence Pill’s dicinal strength, had his condition temporarily stabilized. With a few days of rest, he should be able to wake up.
After examining Lin Shiji’s injuries, Lin Xingzhi gathered everyone and moved deeper into the dense forest.
The formidable enemy was dead, and after all the effort they had expended, they could finally harvest the Jade Spirit Fruit!
