Chapter 884: Chapter 473 Variegated Crystal Beast_2 Chapter 884: Chapter 473 Variegated Crystal Beast_2 Although he hadn’t sustained many injuries previously and had recovered somewhat over this period, his strength wasn’t far from its peak.
However, facing Lu Xingfeng, whose strength and reputation were no less than Han Hu and Zhou Yunxiao, he had to be cautious.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
As the four Late Stage Golden Core Cultivators clashed fiercely high above.
At this very moment, Lin Tianming and Chen Jingtian also refused to fall behind and immediately lunged towards Song Hanchun opposite them.
While still mid-air, Chen Jingtian burst into a crazed laughter.
“Lin, leave Song Hanchun to me,” he shouted, “you and Daoist Zhao, quickly eliminate those two beasts, and then go help Daoist Zhou!”
...
Before Lin Tianming could respond, Chen Jingtian had already surpassed him, directly targeting Song Hanchun.
Upon hearing Chen Jingtian’s words, Song Hanchun was both shocked and furious, incensed beyond comparison.
Though aware of Chen Jingtian’s formidable strength, scarce rivals among cultivators of the same stage,
Chen Jingtian’s words clearly showed he didn’t consider him a threat, as if he could be disposed of easily.
As a veteran Golden Core from the Wei Kingdom, a respected man, being insulted like this was a new low.
Confronting Chen Jingtian’s attack, Song Hanchun’s rage further fueled a massive outburst, clashing fiercely with Chen Jingtian.
At this time, Lin Tianming, hearing Chen Jingtian’s declaration, saw him fight with Song Hanchun, and found it inappropriate to say anything.
Thus, he immediately shifted his focus and charged at a Third Order Spirit Beast from Golden Sword Sect.
In a flash, his Qinghong Sword shone brightly, grappling with the Third Order Variegated Crystal Beast.
It was Lin Tianming’s first encounter with the Variegated Crystal Beast, not to mention his first battle against one.
This Variegated Crystal Beast, a Third Order Early Stage creature, had a massive body with defensive power as its most outstanding feature.
But Lin Tianming’s attacks were swift and strong., almost without any weaknesses.
With his strength, facing such a Demonic Beast exerted almost no pressure on him.
As expected, under his exploratory strike, the Variegated Crystal Beast couldn’t evade his attack and had to rely solely on its defenses to withstand Lin Tianming’s blow.
Following a loud explosion, the Sword Qi from the Qinghong Sword struck the Variegated Crystal Beast’s tail.
A flash of fire appeared when the Sword Qi, repelled by the beast’s armor, eventually dissipated into the atmosphere.
The Variegated Crystal Beast then shrieked in pain and was sent flying by the tremendous force, crashing heavily into the ground, creating a large crater.
Afterward, as the Variegated Crystal Beast rose, it lifted its head and roared at Lin Tianming, its expression exceedingly fierce.
At that time, Lin Tianming, seemingly surprised, now viewed the Variegated Crystal Beast with more esteem.
The defensive power was truly formidable under that strike; it took a standard hit from him, leaving only marks on its armor without a scratch.
Such defensive prowess was indeed worthy of a beast renowned for its defenses.
However, even so, Lin Tianming was not discouraged but rather, his fighting spirit surged.
In his eyes, that strike was merely a probing attack; he hadn’t even used the innate supernatural abilities of his cultivation technique, and the lack of substantial progress was not surprising.
Moving forward, he wouldn’t hold back, planning to eliminate the Variegated Crystal Beast as swiftly as possible to assist others.
After all, Han Hu and Zhao Hongsheng, both Late Stage Golden Core Cultivators, were top-notch fighters among them, who knew if they held any trump cards or lethal weapons.
Should they escape and squander this golden opportunity to obliterate Golden Sword Sect, it would be a pity.
Moreover, if these two managed to flee, the threat to other forces would be tremendous.
Whatever the reason, Lin Tianming had to exert his utmost effort to nip this threat in the bud.
In fact, including him, Zhou Yunxiao, Lu Xingfeng, and others, also understood the importance of this matter.
Therefore, as the great battle was about to begin, the intensity of the fighting escalated immediately, and no one held back.
In just a few exchanges, the fighting intensified, and the powerful wave of attacks riddled the Golden Sword Mountain Gate with holes.
At this moment, Lin Tianming launched a series of attacks, giving the Variegated Crystal Beast no chance to catch its breath.
Nearby, Zhao Mingli and Chen Maohua also joined forces, attacking another Third Order Spiritual Beast belonging to the Golden Sword Sect.
As for Lan Yu and Lin Shikang, both were at the Early Stage Golden Core; their strength was the weakest among the cultivators present.
Seeing the powerful fluctuations around them, they couldn’t even get involved, and the others didn’t need their help.
With such a significant disparity between the two sides and the abundance of combat power, they had nothing to do but to massacre the numerous Golden Sword Sect Disciples insanely.
In an instant, the attacks from the three split the sky, raining down upon the heads of many Golden Sword Sect Disciples.
Under the attack of the three Golden Core Stage Cultivators, those Golden Sword Sect Disciples who tried to form battle formations were instantly scattered.
With the vast disparity in strength, nearly every moment, a varying number of people died under the attacks of Lan Yu and the others.
For a time, the lowest parts of the battlefield became a veritable hell on earth.
Under such one-sided circumstances, Lan Yu and the others held no thoughts of mercy.
After all, between the Golden Sword Sect and their side, it was a fight to the death; to nip any threats in the bud, they disregarded any semblance of Golden Core Cultivator demeanor, slaughtering the lower-ranked cultivators with astonishing speed.
In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, hundreds of Golden Sword Sect Cultivators fell at their hands, including not a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
At this rate, even if there were nearly ten thousand Golden Sword Sect Disciples, they could not withstand such a massacre.
At this moment, with swathes of cultivators falling, the tragic scene was heart-wrenching.
Seeing this, the lower-ranked cultivators were terrified out of their wits, disregarding the lives and safety of their Sect elders and fleeing in all directions.
Facing such a situation, Lan Yu and the others blocked from different angles, trying to kill as many cultivators as possible.
However, even though the three held an overwhelming advantage in strength, the fleeing numbers were too great, and even with all their efforts, it was difficult to capture everyone.
Thus, some lower-ranked cultivators became fish that slipped the net, finding a thread of life.
Yet, even then, the fate of these lower-ranked cultivators was not yet certain, as over three hundred Myriad Medicine Valley elite disciples awaited in the large area surrounding the Golden Sword Mountain Gate.
In addition to these Myriad Medicine Valley disciples, when Lu Xingfeng arrived, he also brought hundreds of elite Zhenyang Sect Disciples.
These individuals were at least at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, and their vast numbers, close to a thousand, were enough to encircle the area around the Golden Sword Mountain Gate.
With the Golden Sword Sect’s Defensive Great Formation broken and under Zhou Yunxiao’s command, they were there to intercept any escaping Golden Sword Sect Disciples.
Now, with a large number of cultivators fleeing in all directions, even if they escaped the Golden Core Cultivators’ blockades, facing the encirclement of these Foundation Establishment Cultivators, their chances of escaping alive were also bleak.
However, these minor matters were of no concern to Lin Tianming.
At this moment, he had been fighting the Variegated Crystal Beast for quite a long time.
With his strength nearly comparable to a Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator, augmented by the Eye of Five Colors, the Variegated Crystal Beast was taking hits continuously, hardly getting any chance to retaliate.
Even when the Variegated Crystal Beast used its Innate Divine Abilities to attack, with the assistance of the Eye of Five Colors, he always found the optimal route to dodge the attacks of the Variegated Crystal Beast.
Even after several Supernatural attacks from this demonic beast, it could hardly threaten his life.
Thus, Lin Tianming hardly needed to worry about his own safety and could focus on unleashing his full power, maintaining a constant offense to achieve his goal.
Under such circumstances, with more than a dozen rounds of intense attacks from Lin Tianming, the Variegated Crystal Beast was covered in wounds, its strength significantly diminished.
Were it not for the Variegated Crystal Beast’s formidable defensive power, it would likely have already perished at the hands of Lin Tianming.
