Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Almost simultaneously with Li Chengzhi's sinister smile, the black insect cloud behind him also headed toward the Lin Family.

With the emergence of this black insect cloud, Lin Shiming's expression grew even uglier.

These black insects, known as black ant bugs, are ranked one hundredth in the list of demonic insects by martial cultivators.

But don't be fooled by their ranking, being lower than the six-winged mantis—due to their inexhaustible numbers, the black ant bugs are even more terrifying to cultivators!

Every black ant bug is invulnerable to ordinary weapons, and not only are mundane armaments ineffective against them, but they can also consume spirit shields, and they are especially potent against Mountain Protection Arrays.

"Don't let these black ant bugs get close!" Lin Shiming took the initiative to draw out his Purple Wood Sword!

At this moment, without the need to nurture the formation swords, Lin Shiming's True Yuan was completely activated, instantly filling the area with purple light and crisscrossing sword Qi!

One sword strike directly swept into the black ant bug swarm! Continue reading at m|v-l'e m,p| y- r

Countless black ant bugs died, but what's terrifying is that both the sword Qi and the True Yuan sword light got devoured by the black ant bugs.

With their terrifying numbers, the True Yuan attached to his Purple Wood Sword would soon be nibbled away, and he would lose control of the sword.

Lin Shiming hastily recalled his sword, looking somewhat anxious at this point.

He then took out a Five Elements Tower and released a Five Elements Spell, which proved effective, but as the tower was only a second-rank supreme-grade magic artifact, not even a third-rank artifact, its effect was much weaker.

As Lin Shiming sprang into action, an equally fierce battle broke out on another front.

Lin Xianzhi was controlling the Nine Elements Formation against Li Xiulei and Li Chengli; the former, a thunder cultivator, striking vigorously with pure Yang and unyielding energy, every blast of thunder causing great damage to the formation.

Meanwhile, the latter, Li Chengli's swordsmanship was almost as good as Lin Xianzhi's, also having grasped some Sword Intent, though not to the extent of Sword Light Differentiation.

But what's dreadful is that he possessed a third-rank supreme-grade magic sword.

For a time, Qian Bosheng, who could completely suppress a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator, now found it strenuous to hold back two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivators.

Elsewhere, Qian Bosheng facing Li Chengzhi was similarly under great strain, continuously seeking aid from Lin Xianzhi.

"Daoist Lin, please assist me, there will be a hefty reward later!"

In the end, Lin Xianzhi drew a single True Essence Axe from the nine artifacts, using it to assist Qian Bosheng on the side.

The pinnacle battle of the Foundation Establishment stage had erupted, and within the early Foundation Establishment stage, the Li Family had sent only three individuals, all at the middle stage. Not only were these three well-equipped, but they also brought with them three third-rank Demonic Beasts.

Qian Zichu, who Lin Shiming regarded with caution, proved his mettle by single-handedly fighting against three third-rank Foundation Establishment Demonic Beasts and facing off against a Li Family body cultivator.

Despite fighting four at once and sustaining continuous injuries, his offensive was ferocious, attacking with wounds and looking like a humanoid Demonic Beast.

He even forced the Li Family cultivators to give way somewhat.

On the Lin Family side, Lin Houyong faced off against a Taoist Robe Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Li Family.

The remaining one charged at Lin Shiming.

The black ant bugs aimed for the spirit shield of the Nine Profound Heavenly Array and breaking the formation's foundation.

If they could kill Lin Shiming, or let the Spirit Insects break through the formation, they could rapidly allow Li Chengli and Li Xiulei to cut down Lin Xianzhi and seize victory.

At this time, Lin Shiming's complexion turned even more somber, as the dominance and horrifying numbers of the black ant bugs made them exceedingly troublesome to handle, and now he also faced a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator.

Seeing this, he took out seeds and scattered them fiercely, and the next moment, ten Snake Vine Flowers shot up, followed by countless Iron Thornwoods.

Accompanied by the sound of earth breaking, the next instant, the entire underground stone hall was overtaken by vines and tendrils.

The ten Snake Vine Flowers, though just second-rank supreme-grade magic artifacts, were slow in entangling the Li Family Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The latter easily dodged with a flicker, avoiding them entirely.

"Using Qi Cultivation methods in a fight between Foundation Establishment cultivators, isn't that laughable?"

The latter scoffed with disdain, also drawing a set of magic swords. These three swords formed a third-rank intermediate-grade set: a mother sword and two child swords, soaring into the sky.

The sword light shone brightly, all ten Snake Vine Flowers were cut in half at the waist, and vast expanses of Iron Thornwood were also cleared by the sword's children, not even allowing the Iron Thorns to release.

Moreover, the last mother sword shot towards Lin Shiming, while another child sword went towards Lin Shiming's Purple Wood Sword.

Unable to wield the Purple Wood Sword, the black ants ignored the Purple Thorn Wood and buzzed towards the formation.

Seeing that Lin Shiming didn't even have a defensive Third-Rank magic artifact, the cultivator in the Taoist robe from the Li Family had a mocking look in his eyes, as if he had already foreseen Lin Shiming being cut from head to body.

But in the next moment, unexpectedly, nine green Spirit Swords appeared out of the shattered Iron Thornwood!

They were the Formation Swords released by Lin Shiming together with the child swords, which after successfully confusing the line of sight, took their positions!

The Formation Swords nearly formed a nonagon, surrounding the black ants.

Sword Qi crisscrossed in every direction, instantly decimating a large number of the black ants.

The remaining black ants still had a fearsome presence, devouring the sword light and sword qi, stepping on the carcasses of their kin as they flew in, but unlike other sword techniques.

Lin Shiming's technique was a Secret Sword Formation, with the Wood Attribute's endless vitality fully showcased.

The number of black ants visibly decreased.

While the Sword Array still shone brightly, the sword qi unrelenting!

And the two child swords were also trapped within, allowing Lin Shiming's Purple Wood Sword to instantly return to his side to continue the confrontation with the mother sword.

The expression of the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Li Family changed in an instant, turning exceedingly ugly.

Not only had the black ants failed to break the formation, but they were also destroyed at a terrifying speed, causing his hair to stand on end. Even if he won the battle, he would have to face Li Chengzhi's wrath!

His expression instantly turned extremely furious!

"You brat, dare to play tricks and schemes, now you die!"

With his furious shout, the mother sword emitted an eye-catching sword light, and in the next instant, terrifyingly, the two child swords vanished into thin air, reappearing on either side of the mother sword!

All three swords shot towards Lin Shiming!

This attack exhausted the Foundation Establishment cultivator's True Yuan, with sword light stretching for tens of miles, all to ensure a kill!

The powerful sword light filled the Li Family cultivator with confidence, but at that moment, to his disbelief, he saw a mocking smile on Lin Shiming's lips!

Wasn't that the very expression he had when he was certain of his kill?

But what did he have to be confident about?

In the next moment, he saw no more. In the void, a transparent Spirit Light flickered, sending out an invisible ripple, and almost in front of the Li Family cultivator's face, a gigantic Golden Mantid Blade fell silently.

The Spirit Shield was useless, the Spirit Shield shattered!

The automatically defensive Spirit Shield proved futile, the Spirit Shield was slashed away!

His gaze still lingered on the moment just past, but his head soared high without response!

Assassination successful!

The Golden Mantid Blade once again returned to the void!

But Lin Shiming was not pleased, for the mother and child swords were still there, merely uncontrolled now that the Purple Wood Sword had returned.

By leaning to the side and delivering a slash, he managed to knock all three Spirit Swords off course, leaving a thirty-meter deep Sword Dao fissure behind!

The Purple Wood Profound Heavenly Sword Formation ground the remaining black ants into dust!

The nine Formation Swords flew back one by one. Although a significant amount of True Yuan was lost, the Formation was preserved, which allowed him to heave a sigh of relief.

He then collected the Storage Bag and the mother and child swords from the last name Li, continuing to kill towards the Foundation Establishment cultivator where Lin Houyong was.
