Chapter 812: Chapter 437 Spirit Art Achieves Success_2 Chapter 812: Chapter 437 Spirit Art Achieves Success_2 Seeing that he had already made a move, Lin Shikang was not willing to fall behind.
His Golden Star Ruler in hand flashed with spiritual light, and streaks of golden-yellow brilliance flickered before rapidly converging into a giant golden ruler.
Lin Shikang launched an attack, sending the gigantic ruler that had formed above his head smashing down towards Xu Zhi with fury.
By now, Lin Shikang no longer held anything back, pouring all of the remaining mana in his body into the Golden Star Ruler.
In doing so, even though he was injured, the power he unleashed was nearly as strong as it had been at his peak.
Furthermore, with Lin Tianming on his side, the two of them were able to exert unprecedented pressure on Xu Zhi.
As expected, Xu Zhi, faced with their attacks, was forced to fight while retreating, even needing to rely on the aid of numerous disciples.
...
His method of coping clearly showed signs of weariness.
To this, Lin Tianming and his colleague paid no heed, having resolved to ensure that Xu Zhi would not leave this place alive.
Under such circumstances, Lin Tianming and his associate unleashed their attacks with insane intensity, not diminishing in the slightest, and if anything, surpassing their previous efforts.
Beneath such overwhelming pressure, Xu Zhi gradually started to lose ground.
“Boom…”
As Lin Tianming struck a blow that sent Xu Zhi reeling back, Lin Shikang spotted an opportunity and released a heaven-shaking strike, working in tandem with Lin Tianming to fiercely suppress Xu Zhi.
At that moment, Lin Shikang’s use of the Golden Star Ruler reached its peak in power, showcasing outstanding strength that was clearly even stronger than before.
At this critical juncture, Lin Tianming seized this once-in-a-lifetime chance, hurriedly activating the Great Sun Sword Qi Art.
Instantly, a silver-white sword qi appeared above his head.
As soon as the sword qi emerged, the powerful sword qi devoured the spiritual energy in the air, causing sand and stones to fly and fierce winds to rise.
Xu Zhi, on the other side, was hurriedly dealing with Lin Shikang, but all his attention was focused on Lin Tianming.
He was well aware that besides self-detonating his Golden Core, Lin Shikang’s threat was nearly negligible.
Lin Tianming, however, was different.
In the battle thus far, Lin Tianming had demonstrated such strength that even at Xu Zhi’s prime, he would have had to deal with him cautiously.
Moreover, Xu Zhi was now injured and his strength significantly reduced.
Witnessing the sword qi, which was almost identical to the one Lin Shikang had previously used that had nearly destroyed his defense treasure,
In his eyes, the fluctuations and momentum produced by the sword qi Lin Tianming activated were even greater than Lin Shikang’s.
This was because Lin Tianming had nurtured the sword qi for several years longer than Lin Shikang.
After all, Lin Shikang had used the Great Sun Sword Qi Art during a beast tide assault, and the newly nurtured sword qi had not even been for a decade.
Whilst the sword qi Lin Tianming had nurtured spanned many more years than Lin Shikang’s, its unleashed power was bound to be even more formidable.
At that moment, although Xu Zhi was unaware of these reasons, feeling the formidable silver-white sword qi made him immediately tense up.
However, there was no time to worry about that now; he had to consider how to survive the onslaught of this sword qi attack.
If he could withstand this strike, then even if Lin Tianming and his associate joined forces, it was unlikely they could keep him there.
With this realization, Xu Zhi retreated recklessly.
At the same time, he activated several Third Order Defense Talismans, forming a few barriers in front of himself.
It was only after his defensive measures were gradually put in place that Xu Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, his complexion had barely shifted when it swiftly turned to one of horror.
At this moment, his eyes widened as he watched Lin Tianming propel the silver-white sword qi with an incredible speed.
“Bang…”
In an instant, one explosive sound after another rang out.
Following the source of these explosive noises, one could see the powerful silver-white sword qi easily piercing through the first barrier.
Immediately following, several more barriers were effortlessly shattered, dissipating completely between heaven and earth.
And after breaking through these barriers, the silver-white sword qi maintained its speed and continued to hurtle toward Xu Zhi.
At that moment, Xu Zhi’s face was a picture of horror, as if he had seen something inconceivable.
In fact, the sight of the silver-white sword qi breaking through the barriers was far beyond his expectations.
He had thought that a few Third Order talismans would surely hold for a moment, allowing him to use his defense treasure to survive this crisis.
However, the terrifying might of the silver-white sword qi far exceeded his imagination.
Now, the silver-white sword qi had already descended upon his head, and dodging had become unrealistic.
Nevertheless, he had preemptively activated his defense treasure, which firmly protected him within.
Still, whether it could withstand the silver-white sword qi, he had no confidence whatsoever, and everything depended on his luck.
Deeply aware of this, Xu Zhi’s complexion turned deathly pale, his aura plummeting to a low, no longer bearing the spirited appearance he had at the start.
“Boom…”
The silver-white sword qi tore through the void, striking Xu Zhi’s defense treasure with unerring accuracy.
“Bang…” A violent collision echoed.
At that moment, a mushroom cloud rose again in the heavens and earth, a blinding brilliance dominating the entire sky, even obscuring the sunlight.
In this moment, Lin Tianming opened his Eye of Five Colors and dared not even breathe, scrutinizing every detail within the sea of fire.
This attack was immensely crucial, and it could be said to be related to the life and death of the Lin Family and himself.
From his line of sight, one could see that the silver-white sword qi was halted only for an instant before it thoroughly penetrated Xu Zhi’s defense treasure.
Immediately after that, there came a scene of bloodshed; the silver-white sword qi had directly pierced through Xu Zhi’s chest, utterly shattering most of his body, organs, and blood exploded all around.
At the same time, the mutilated remains of Xu Zhi fell from the sky, finally scattering across the ground.
Seeing such a scene, Lin Tianming felt an unexpected joy, and he sighed in relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
He had truly been worried that this strike would not kill Xu Zhi, for if that were the case, he would have been in for a tough battle.
Even if Xu Zhi were gravely wounded, as long as he was still alive, he would have the capability to fight to the death.
After all, in a desperate situation, Xu Zhi would undoubtedly self-detonate his Golden Core, aiming to take them down with him.
The might of a seasoned Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator self-detonating his core was imaginable.
And they were merely at the Early Stage Golden Core cultivation level, with injuries upon injuries; even if he survived, Lin Shikang and Ye Pinghai would certainly not live through the explosion.
If it came to that, even if the Lin Family emerged victorious in the end, it would still be a Pyrrhic victory.
Such an outcome was not what he desired. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
In his heart, even the life of a Nascent Soul Cultivator was far less important than that of Lin Shikang and the others.
Fortunately, it was all over now; Xu Zhi had been completely slain, without even a chance to self-detonate his Golden Core.
Otherwise, the outcome would still be hard to predict.
However, as Xu Zhi’s broken body fell, the flames in the sky subsided, and peace was restored to the world.
At this time, all the cultivators who had witnessed this great battle, whether they were disciples of the Qingyun Sect or members of the Lin Family Clan Grounds, were struck dumb!
After a long while, from not far away, there came stirring noises as the Qingyun Sect disciples calmed down from their shock, and a large number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators began to flee in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, over a dozen keen-eyed cultivators had vanished without a trace.
However, aside from those slain by them, there were still nearly two hundred others still alive, many of whom carried varying degrees of injury.
Seeing their fellow disciples flee, this large group was scared witless, each beginning to scatter and run, not daring to stay even for a breath longer.
At this time, Lin Tianming also leaped forward, his Tiangang Sword frantically slaughtering these Qingyun Sect disciples.
Simultaneously, the Purple Gold Eagle, Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox, and the Bloodthirsty Jiao were set loose by him, chasing down those escaping cultivators from different angles.
