NOVPUBChapter 805: Chapter 434: Fierce Battle with Xu Zhi Chapter 805: Chapter 434: Fierce Battle with Xu Zhi Less than half an hour had passed when they seized an opportunity.
At this time, the Qingyun Sect cultivators outside the formation were in the midst of an attack hiatus, seemingly considering a retreat.
Seeing this, Lin Shikang suddenly shouted, “Shihua, now is the time!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Shihua quickly followed Lin Shikang’s instructions and opened a gap in the Protective Clan Formation.
As Lin Shihua opened the formation, a gap quietly appeared on the light screen of the Protective Clan Formation in an instant.
In a fraction of a second, Lin Shikang took the lead, rushing through the entrance to appear outside the mountain gate.
Following closely, Ye Pinghai and Hu Yuan also followed in Lin Shikang’s footsteps, appearing together outside the mountain gate. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
...
The moment they appeared, the three did not hold back at all, directly unleashing their weapons and launching an attack on the retreating Qingyun Sect cultivators.
Looking over, Lin Shikang was holding a golden yellow jade ruler.
This Spirit Ruler, named the Golden Star Ruler, was golden in color, with tiny runes swirling around it, densely covering the body of the ruler.
This ruler had once been used by the Lin Family Ancestral Patriarch during his Golden Core Stage and had been sealed in the Lin Family Ancestral Hall for hundreds of years, untouched even once.
This item was highly valuable and was one of the most important treasures of the Lin Family, existing as a top-secret item.
Within the clan, only successive Clan Leaders and the highest-level cultivators were aware of this object.
A few years ago, after Lin Shikang reached the Golden Core Stage, he was the first to refine the Golden Star Ruler and use it as his Magical Treasure.
As Lin Tianming reached the Golden Core Stage, Lin Shikang had originally planned to hand over this treasure to Lin Tianming to maximize its potential.
However, as the Wei Kingdom grew increasingly chaotic, Lin Tianming had just left seclusion and departed from the family to gather intelligence, and the handover of the item had not yet taken place.
Now, with a formidable enemy before them, and the Lin Family capable of preserving the Magical Treasure, he no longer needed to concern himself with reservations.
In this situation, Lin Shikang fully deployed the Golden Star Ruler, insanely pouring his Mana into it, and furiously attacked the Qingyun Sect disciples before him.
After Lin Shikang took action, the other two, Hu Yuan and Ye Pinghai, were not outdone, their Attack Talismans erupting in bursts of Spiritual Light.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
Their speed in launching attacks was extremely fast, and the hundred or so Foundation Establishment cultivators apparently did not expect the Lin Family to take the initiative to strike, nor did they anticipate that there would be more than two Golden Core Cultivators in the Lin Family.
At that moment, the hundred or so Foundation Establishment cultivators stood dumbfounded on the spot, overwhelmed by the might of the three Golden Core Stage cultivators and too surprised to resist.
In an instant, the trio struck down more than thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators, who didn’t even have time to scream.
Following that strike, the remaining cultivators recovered from their shock.
Among those who had fallen just now, the majority were cultivators in the initial to middle stages of Foundation Establishment, with only two from the later stages.
Clearly, these later stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, with their higher cultivation levels, had faster reaction times and more means of escape amid sudden crises, thus managing to save their lives.
Every survivor, knowing they had just made a narrow escape from death, had ghostly pale faces, even filled with lingering fear.
At this time, the surviving Qingyun Sect cultivators quickly gathered around Xu Zhi, who had furiously rushed over, hundreds of meters away.
With a Golden Core Cultivator present, they finally regained some confidence, and the fearful expressions on their faces recovered some color.
At this moment, Xu Zhi, with a ghastly pale face, looked at Lin Shikang and the others, his expression both surprised and angry.
He hadn’t anticipated that Lin Shikang would take the initiative to attack, nor did he expect the Lin Family to have hidden so deeply; the appearance of two Golden Core Cultivators had already greatly exceeded his expectations.
Now, to make matters worse, a third Golden Core Cultivator had appeared.
At this moment, even he began to doubt whether the Lin Family had even more Golden Core Cultivators.
If that were the case, his original plan to easily annihilate the Lin Family might not be so easy to achieve, and he might even suffer a setback.
However, upon further thought, if the Lin Family truly possessed such strength, they wouldn’t have holed up within their clan territory for days; they would likely have shown themselves earlier.
Moreover, the weapons used by Ye Pinghai and Hu Yuan during their recent attack were only Second Order Superior Attack Talismans, and they hadn’t even employed Magical Treasures.
Such a mode of attack clearly indicated that they had only recently broken through to the Golden Core Stage and had not yet refined their own Magical Treasures, or their Magical Treasures had been destroyed; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been like this.
Additionally, although Hu Yuan’s aura was undeniably at the Golden Core Stage, his energy was not very stable, seeming like he had suffered severe injuries that had not yet healed.
Based on these circumstances, Xu Zhi could easily conclude that the Lin Family was necessarily unsure of victory.
In such a situation, they were also intentionally delaying time, aiming to achieve their best state before launching a counterattack.
As a Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator with experience in various situations over hundreds of years, Xu Zhi quickly deduced most of the Lin Family’s intentions.
Understanding this, though Xu Zhi had originally considered retreating, he still remained confident.
He was very clear that, although the Lin Family outwardly had three Golden Core Cultivators, all three were only at the Early Stage Golden Core, and except for Lin Shikang, who possessed a Spirit Ruler Magical Treasure, the other two lacked Magical Treasures, making it difficult for them to exert their full strength.
As for himself, he was a seasoned Golden Core Cultivator, not only holding an absolute advantage in cultivation level but also possessing a handy Magical Treasure.
