NOVPUBChapter 807: Chapter 435: Desperate Situation Chapter 807: Chapter 435: Desperate Situation Seeing Xu Zhi’s move, the disciples of Qingyun Sect seemed to finally understand the terror of Golden Core Cultivators, daring not to stay too close to Xu Zhi anymore, lest they be affected without reason.
Lin Shikang and his two companions also dared not take it lightly and joined forces to cope with Xu Zhi’s attack.
In an instant, the four of them fought fiercely, generating powerful fluctuations that enshrouded a vast piece of land, and the sky was filled with Sword Qi and the power of flames.
At this point, the disciples of Qingyun Sect and some of the Lin Family members took on the role of spectators.
Even if they wanted to lend a hand, the attack power of Golden Core Cultivators was too terrifying; a casual strike carried immense might, and even a slight touch could result in death.
Under such circumstances, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators present could only pray silently from the bottom of their hearts.
Soon, some time passed.
...
In the high-altitude battlefield, Xu Zhi’s fierce strike caused Lin Shikang and his two companions to be shaken back hundreds of feet.
While still in mid-air, Lin Shikang and his companions had extremely pale complexions as their Qi-Blood roiled violently within.
Xu Zhi’s strike had caused all three to suffer some injuries.
Especially Hu Yuan, who had the shortest time since breaking through to the Golden Core Stage and had rushed to battle without reaching his peak state, naturally his strength was not comparable to Lin Shikang and Ye Pinghai.
After dozens of rounds of attacks, the three had originally been able to resist, at least not showing signs of retreat.
But now, as the battle reached an intense stage, they began to steadily lose ground, their Mana being rapidly depleted and also sustaining injuries.
And this brief moment, for Lin Shikang and his companions, felt as long as decades.
Their struggling appearances said it all.
Lin Shikang and his companions understood their predicament was difficult, but the fate of nearly a thousand clan members lay in their hands, right behind them on the Lin Family Clan Grounds.
If they were defeated, the Lin Family Clan Grounds would naturally cease to exist.
Acutely aware of this, Lin Shikang was very anxious, yet Xu Zhi, worthy of being an experienced Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator, possessed extremely solid cultivation strength, strong even among cultivators of the same stage.
Thus, even though they joined forces, they still did not gain the upper hand and were constantly at a disadvantage.
In the previous battles, Lin Shikang had always been the one to lead the charge, attacking with all his might and repeatedly disregarding life and death.
But even so, they still couldn’t any advantages.
He knew that their combined strength was still no match for Xu Zhi, a clear gap that left him feeling helpless.
At that moment, he glanced at Ye Pinghai and Hu Yuan next to him, their faces pale, and his expression filled with gratitude.
Throughout this great battle, both of them had also exerted their full strength, but as their time as Golden Core Cultivators was not long, and without the enhancement of Magical Treasures, their Golden Core Stage Mana couldn’t be fully utilized.
Up to this point, it was no exaggeration to say that Ye Pinghai and Hu Yuan had truly tried their best.
After all, strictly speaking, they were not members of the Lin Family, and being able to go this far in such a situation could be considered doing their utmost duty.
Knowing this, Lin Shikang felt very relieved and accepted them from the bottom of his heart when he looked at them again.
“Two esteemed brothers, please help me hold off the enemy for a moment; I need to use a powerful killing move!”
Lin Shikang secretly messaged Ye Pinghai and the other, planning to use the Great Sun Sword Qi Art, hoping to heavily injure Xu Zhi in one strike.
At worst, to injure him enough to alleviate some of their pressure.
His decision was made out of helplessness, given the current dire situation.
Although revealing the Great Sun Sword Qi Art could be risky, their lives were hanging by a thread, and if they were to die at Xu Zhi’s hands, the technique would be exposed sooner or later.
With that in mind, what was there to hesitate about?
For these reasons, Lin Shikang didn’t hesitate at all, his resolve very firm.
Upon hearing this message, Ye Pinghai and the other were somewhat puzzled—could it be that the Lin Family had some powerful secret move?
Or could it be that the Lin Family Ancestral Patriarch had left a trump card?
The two pondered for a moment, unable to think of any Divine Skills or powerful treasures known in the Cultivation World that the Lin Family might have.
But under such circumstances, since Lin Shikang said so, he must have had some assurance.
Understanding this, even if Ye Pinghai and the other were doubtful, they had no choice but to reply assuringly to Lin Shikang, allowing him to fight freely.
Quickly, after receiving their affirmative responses, Lin Shikang no longer hesitated.
“Boom…”
Xu Zhi’s attacks flowed like water toward him, with powerful cyan Sword Qi tearing through the void, heading straight for Lin Shikang’s vitals.
At this moment, Ye Pinghai and Hu Yuan exchanged a look, then leaped forward to position themselves in front of Lin Shikang.
Then, they threw their Second Order Magical Artifacts forward, continuously pounding Law Decrees onto them.
At the same time, the two incessantly infused their Mana into the artifacts, with their potent Mana being so immense that the Second Order Magical Artifacts could barely withstand it, trembling uncontrollably.
But Ye Pinghai and the other were heedless, forcibly pouring Mana into them, willing to risk even if the artifacts shattered completely.
They took this action because they had to, needing to block Xu Zhi’s strike and buy time for Lin Shikang.
With a clear goal in mind, the two had a determined look as they watched Xu Zhi’s unleashed attacks approach; at the same time, the two activated their artifacts, producing their strongest attacks.
