ALL NOVEL Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Breakthrough?
About a dozen Spirit Flags flew into the ground, and instantly streams of Spiritual Energy formed a specific Spirit Prison, locking the earth within a radius of a hundred meters.
Especially since the Spiritual Energy here was rich, it further enhanced the power of the Lock Earth Formation.
"Let's go!" With the Lock Earth Formation ready, the group prepared to easily capture their prey.
Though at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level, having sustained such severe injuries and with most of their Spiritual Energy consumed, the three were not overly fearful.
Lin Shimo led the way at the front, with three Iron Corpses before him.
The Iron Corpses were glowing with a cold light and were still covered in corpse hair, which gave Lin Shiming the chills.
In particular, seeing Lin Shimo caress the three Iron Corpses seemed rather affectionate.
Of course, Lin Shiming didn't dawdle either. He brought out both the Red-haired Demon Monkey and the Golden Winged Mantis, being very cautious at this critical moment.
Most of his strength was associated with the Snake Vine Flower, which he couldn't use now.
When the Red-haired Demon Monkey came out, it held the Profound Water Heavy Mountain and looked curiously into the cave. The Golden Winged Mantis quietly followed behind Lin Shiming.
"Seventh Brother, is this mantis the one you bought at the market last time?" Lin Shijie was curious.
This mantis was entirely golden and, without saying, looked way more formidable than the common green-winged mantis!
Its Spirit Might overwhelmingly crushed the latter by an unknown margin.
"Yes!" Lin Shiming didn't elaborate, and though Lin Shijie was curious, now wasn't the time for questions.
With all their defenses set, the three began to walk into the cave!
Just then, a figure inside suddenly charged out, wielding a Second Rank Supreme Grade Magic Sword, slashing fiercely.
"Damn Lin Family brats, to actually trap me with a Spirit Beast's Lock Earth Formation!" The yellow-robed cultivator, after obtaining the treasure, naturally thought of using the Earth Escape Technique to flee.
But he didn't expect that he would be trapped by the specifically countering Lock Earth Formation, unable to use the Earth Escape Talisman without destroying the formation's foundation!
"I'll have you cut into a thousand pieces!"
This sword carried an endless roar and fury.
Lin Shimo's Iron Corpses charged forward first, only to be split apart by the Spirit Sword.
The remaining two didn't even get a chance to advance before being bypassed, and the attack continued charging toward Lin Shimo.
Lin Shijie let out a mighty shout, his whole body surging with Spiritual Power as a Superior Grade Fire-returning Fire Sword slashed towards the Earthy Yellow Spirit Sword.
Clang!
With a crisp ringing sound, the yellow-robed cultivator's Earthy Yellow Spirit Sword, true to its Supreme Grade status, still held the advantage, continuing with its relentless force.
The yellow-robed cultivator sneered as he urged his sword, increasing its might even further!
Boom!
The next moment, to his shock, he heard two cries, and a mini mountain suddenly smashed over.
His sword, as if struck by a massive mountain, changed direction instantly and drastically.
Heavy, incomparably heavy.
With the sword's direction altered, the attack was naturally rendered ineffective.
But one must know that at this moment, there were still two Iron Corpses, each equally furious, reaching out to grab the yellow-robed cultivator.
These Iron Corpses, each equivalent to a mid-level Qi Cultivation cultivator, but more formidable in that they did not fear death and their bodies were as tough as iron!
The cave was already narrow, leaving no room for the yellow-robed cultivator to escape!
He could only take out another Shield Magical Instrument and fiercely slap the two Iron Corpses away.
A sword light shot out, and this time, Lin Shijie's sword was still engulfed in rolling flames.
The frenzy was unparalleled as he slashed at the yellow-robed cultivator.
The yellow-robed cultivator once again maneuvered the Spirit Sword to save himself.
"Damn it, if it weren't for the lack of Spiritual Energy?" the yellow-robed cultivator raged helplessly as his Storage Bag still contained several powerful Magic Artifacts, but his Spiritual Energy had long since been mostly depleted, and he had narrowly escaped death under Lin Xianzhi's sword.
Using Spirit Stones to recover Spiritual Energy was simply a drop in the bucket!
Nonetheless, his Supreme Grade magical sword was still far superior to Lin Shijie's Fire-returning Sword.
However, with a loud boom, the Red-haired Demon Monkey in the distance, had somehow retrieved the Profound Water Heavy Mountain.
And smashed down again, forcibly knocking aside his Supreme Grade magical sword.
This made the yellow-robed cultivator so angry he almost vomited blood!
This method of throwing stones was simply too insulting!
"I'll kill you, this demonic creature, first!" the yellow-robed cultivator struggled to wield another sword, slashing at the Red-haired Demon Monkey!
The Red-haired Demon Monkey swiftly dodged to the side, while Lin Shiming, at this moment, was maneuvering the Ink Lotus Sword, slashing towards the Spirit Sword.
The Spiritual Power of Lin Shiming was already scarce, so naturally, the power of the Spirit Sword wasn't great!
Eh!
The yellow-robed cultivator suddenly seemed to have discovered a new world, his gaze sharpening like an eagle's, focusing on Lin Shiming.
This was a huge breakthrough!
The yellow-robed cultivator, disregarding everything else, rushed towards Lin Shiming at once. His Supreme Grade Spirit Sword clashed with Lin Shijie, while a Shield Magical Instrument defended against the attacks from the two Iron Corpses and Lin Shiming.
The man maneuvered a Superior Grade sword, charging at Lin Shiming to kill.
Lin Shiming was also greatly shocked and quickly slapped down three or four Spirit Talismans, including one Superior Grade Water Shield Talisman.
Numerous Spirit Shields rose, but they barely managed to block the yellow-robed cultivator's attack, and the Superior Grade Ink Lotus Sword was even slashed away.
Just then, the Red-haired Demon Monkey picked up the Profound Water Heavy Mountain again.
Lin Shiming, meanwhile, suddenly chanted an ordinary Wood Vine Technique, and numerous vines in the cave almost instantly trapped him before the yellow-robed cultivator could struggle free. A huge small mountain smashed over, it was the Profound Water Heavy Mountain!
The yellow-robed cultivator had seen the might of the Profound Water Heavy Mountain and quickly maneuvered the Flying Sword to slash the Profound Water Heavy Mountain away!
And at that moment, a golden light shot out.
"Just a Second Rank Intermediate Grade Golden Winged Mantis!" the yellow-robed cultivator slapped down a body-protecting Spirit Talisman, scornfully sneering before he could finish, but he found that the golden-colored mantis was terrifyingly fast, not even worse than a late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator.
And with two golden-hued scythe-like limbs raised, the yellow-robed cultivator saw the body-protecting Spirit Talisman on his surface was slashed open in an instant.
What was also slashed was his neck!
The Qi Cultivation Ninth Level cultivator from the Huang Family, dead!
The yellow-robed cultivator never would have thought, to his dying breath, that he would be killed by a Second Rank Demonic Beast mantis.
Lin Shiming went down with a thud, the Spiritually exhausted man once again fell to the ground, breathing heavily.
In the distance, Lin Shijie and Lin Shiming hurried over to help Lin Shiming.
The Golden Winged Mantis flew back, nestled behind Lin Shiming, nudging him constantly with its golden triangular head, as if seeking praise.
The Red-haired Demon Monkey also retrieved the Profound Water Heavy Mountain, going over to Lin Shiming's side, patting Lin Shiming's Storage Bag with one hand while still fiddling with the Profound Water Heavy Mountain with the other.
After howling twice, the Golden Winged Mantis behind it also seemed to sense it was feeding time and began chirping.
"Old Seven, these two Spirit Beasts of yours are quite impressive. Is the second one a descendant of those two Demon Monkeys from Peach Blossom Valley?" Lin Shijie, seeing that Lin Shiming was simply exhausted, immediately turned his attention to the Red-haired Demon Monkey and the Golden Winged Mantis, his eyes full of admiration.
"Hmm, let's first see what treasures we can find!" Lin Shiming then changed the subject, starting to look forward to the treasures they might get.
