Chapter 868: Chapter 465 Continuous Demise_2 Chapter 868: Chapter 465 Continuous Demise_2 Clearly, in that recent head-on confrontation, Lin Tianming had exerted all his strength to help fend off the attack, but he still could not prevent the powerful shockwave from spreading.
Zhu Yun, already severely injured and unable to move, was also incapable of organizing an effective defense, and as a result, was swept away by that strong shockwave, simply unable to resist.
One could even say that the fact he still retained so vitality was already quite miraculous.
Yet, despite Zhu Yun not yet having completely lost his life force, with such severe injuries, unless it was a Fifth Order miracle Holy dicine, nothing else could save his life.
Otherwise, Zhu Yun could only wait for his vitality to fully dissipate, but there was nothing he could do.
And a Fifth Order life-saving treasure, those were phenonally rare even within the Cultivation World, to the extent that even the mysterious Nascent Soul Stage Powerhouses might not possess such a thing.
Even if one step back, if there were such treasures available, keeping them for oneself would barely be enough, let alone using them to save a Golden Core Stage Cultivator?
...
In such circumstance, Zhu Yun was essentially waiting for death at this point.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming also had an expression of regret on his face, feeling pity for Zhu Yun in his heart.
They could be considered old acquaintances; during the battle against the Demonic Beasts at Yuyao City, it was under his leadership that the nurous Cultivators from around Qianchuan Market were conscripted for the battle.
At that ti, Lin Tianming had also been dispatched by him multiple tis. Although he had not provided him with much help, Zhu Yun was quite upright as a person and was respected by many Cultivators.
Furthermore, during their expedition into the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm, Zhu Yun and Luo Anzhong were both besieged by mbers of the Blood Red Alliance.
In an absolute disadvantage, Zhu Yun also fought for ti for the many Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, including Lin Tianming, who thus owed him a favor.
Moreover, just a while ago, despite Zhu Yun being in a desperate situation, he still did not give up hope, and with his grievously injured body, he bought so ti for Lin Tianming.
It could be said that without Zhu Yun’s resolute counterattack, Lin Tianming’s successful killing of Gu Changqing would not have been so easy.
It was precisely because of Zhu Yun’s decisiveness that Lin Tianming was able to kill the fleeing Gu Changqing without much effort.
Therefore, for him and the others, Zhu Yun had indeed fulfilled his duty.
However, now Zhu Yun had been gravely wounded and was technically on the verge of death.
The imminent demise of such a gallant Golden Core Cultivator was unavoidably a cause for sighs and lantations.
Coming back to his senses, Lin Tianming also looked ahead, paying attention to Cao Jinping’s current condition.
Just monts ago, Cao Jinping, who had been opposite to him, had been flung out like a kite with its string cut, flying out in a parabola.
While still in mid-air, he spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood, his breath growing even more feeble.
By the ti his body hit the ground, Cao Jinping staggered to his feet, and when he looked toward Lin Tianming, his eyes beca bloodshot, his rage reaching its peak.
The strike was almost evenly matched, both parties sustaining grievous injuries, causing both of their strengths to greatly diminish.
As the fighting fell briefly into a lull, when they looked at each other, their expressions were filled with murderous intent.
Especially Lin Tianming, who was extrely angry at this mont.
This rage was not only because Zhu Yun was nearly lost, but also because he had failed to protect him, leading to the loss of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator who deserved respect within their ranks.
With such anger, Lin Tianming swiftly turned his body and, in his haste, shot towards Cao Jinping.
Seeing this, Cao Jinping was both shocked and enraged, imdiately retreating backward.
At this mont, Cao Jinping was truly frightened, only thinking of escaping the battle.
The reason for this was also because he had suffered heavy blows one after another, with extrely severe injuries.
Besides that, he had also witnessed Lin Tianming’s formidable strength.
Looking at Lin Tianming again, although he too had considerable injuries, he was evidently faring much better than himself.
With only a bit more than ten percent of his Mana remaining, his strength had decreased considerably, and he absolutely could not sustain a protracted fight.
Under these circumstances, he had to break away from the battle to avoid being bogged down by Lin Tianming once again and falling into a quagmire.
If it really ca to that, given the current state of the two of them, he feared that he too might follow in the footsteps of Gu Changqing and Zhu Yun.
Knowing this, Cao Jinping was terrified at this mont and had no more courage to continue the fight.
Looking back at Lin Tianming, at this ti, his montum was overwhelming, with a fierce and nacing appearance that seed as if he was about to tear Cao Jinping apart.
In fact, it was indeed so; Lin Tianming was also aware of their differing states, and he clearly had the absolute advantage.
Given such conditions, whether standing from an individual’s perspective or the perspective of the entire Myriad dicine Valley camp,
with his character, he would naturally not give up such a rare opportunity.
Moreover, Cao Jinping was also a Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator, his strength ranked among the top powerhouses within the Blood Red Alliance camp.
If Cao Jinping were also to be slain, this battle would have seen the fall of several Golden Core Stage Cultivators, inflicting heavy losses on the Blood Red Alliance camp.
By the ti the great battle ended, he would also receive ample rewards, bringing them closer to victory.
It could be said that killing Cao Jinping was imperative for himself and for the final victory.
With such belief, Lin Tianming greatly increased his speed of escape.
Reliant on his speed advantage, he rapidly closed the distance between himself and Cao Jinping.
At this mont, when Cao Jinping saw Lin Tianming’s speed, he felt a great sense of foreboding.
At that ti, the entire battlefield was in utter chaos, everyone fiercely fighting.
Following Cao Jinping’s fall, except for Zhao Hongsheng, who occupied so advantage at the highest point, almost everyone else was at a disadvantage on the Blood Red Alliance’s side.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, including Gu Changqing, their side had already suffered the successive losses of three cultivators.
Among these fallen, from the Blood Red Alliance’s side were Gu Changqing, Dong Wenchang of the Golden Sword Sect, and Zhang Qifeng of the Qingmu Sect.
And from the Myriad dicine Valley side, including Zhu Yun, two with Golden Core Stage combat power had fallen, with another being Li Wenhe from the West River Li Family.
As several people fell in succession, their overall strength ebbed and flowed, and the gap slowly widened.
In this manner, the gap would only increase further, ultimately leading to even greater losses of power for them.
Now, he found himself in an absolute disadvantage; in such a chaotic and complex situation, no one could take care of him.
Thus, his hopes of seeking help had beco extravagant.
As Cao Jinping surveyed the situation, he also understood the difficulty of his circumstance.
But even with this understanding, he was powerless to change the situation, as Lin Tianming had already caught up with him, only dozens of feet away.
Such a distance was already within the best attack range for a Golden Core Cultivator, perfectly able to be instantly fatal.
At that ti, Lin Tianming, seeing the opportune mont had arrived, decisively made his move.
“The Tiangang Ninth Sword… Kill!”
In an instant, his hands ford the Law Decree, unleashing the Tiangang Ninth Sword Divine Skill.
In a flash, nine sword shadows overlapped, and the Qinghong Sword shot out, heading straight for the back of Cao Jinping’s head.
Now, the Qinghong Sword appeared above Cao Jinping’s head, ready to descend at any mont.
At this mont, Cao Jinping could also seem to sense the terrifying aura from the Qinghong Sword.
That special piercing power made even his body shudder.
In his desperation, Cao Jinping knew he could not escape and could only turn around to launch a desperate counterattack.
If he could withstand this deadly strike, he still held hope of saving his life.
Otherwise, perhaps just a few breaths later, would be the ti of his demise.
The embattled Cao Jinping was also decisive, imdiately activating his Black Longsword, pouring almost all of his remaining mana into the Longsword Treasure.
“Humming…”
A buzzing of the sword rang out, as the Black Longsword shot out, clashing head-on with the incoming Qinghong Sword.
“Bang!”
A loud noise erupted, as the sky once again burst forth with dazzling light, and the ground trembled slightly.
Under this earth-shattering montum, the Qinghong Sword repelled the Black Longsword and with a thunderous montum, thrust towards Cao Jinping.
