Chapter 318: Chapter 205 Sword Venom Scorpion_1
The next morning,
in the misty canyon, Lin Tianming and his clanspeople gathered together.
After scouring the dens of the Demonic Beasts the previous day, they had acquired some Spiritual Medicine Materials. These were all rather common varieties, and the quantities were not significant; the harvest was quite average.
The night passed peacefully, with no unexpected incidents.
The clanspeople convened, and among them, Lin Tianming’s seniority was not the highest, but his cultivation was. Everyone eagerly awaited his instructions.
As the leader of this expedition, Lin Tianming scanned the crowd and quickly made a decision—to continue deeper into the Luoyun Mountain Range.
After briefing the clanspeople, the group set off, swiftly making their way into the dense forests deep within the mountain range.
The clanspeople moved swiftly—every one of them was at least at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining. With Lin Tianming, who was at the Third Level of Foundation Establishment, leading them, they felt much more assured and ventured on with few concerns.
While the clanspeople were at ease, Lin Tianming dared not be careless; the Tiangang Sword was always in his hand, and his Divine Sense enveloped their surroundings, alert to any potential dangers.
The group proceeded without incident, pushing deeper into the mountain ridges.
Three days flew by in a flash.
Over these few days, Lin Tianming and the others had traveled over a hundred miles, encountering only a lone Demonic Beast at the First Order Late Stage, which was swiftly slain by the group.
Now, they arrived at a hill, where Lin Tianming stood on the summit, gazing thoughtfully at the dense mounds in the distance.
“Tianming, is there something moving?” Lin Xingzhi asked.
After a moment, Lin Tianming’s gaze shifted back, his expression somewhat solemn.
“Everyone, prepare for battle!”
With that command, Lin Tianming immediately took out fifty-six Earth Evil Swords and tossed them into the air. The swords quickly scattered, then disappeared underground.
Seeing Lin Tianming’s reaction and his verbal warning, Lin Xingzhi and others promptly got ready for combat.
Just then, the ground began to tremble. Their expressions changed as they focused on the noise coming from ahead.
Lin Tianming, who had been through numerous life-and-death battles, stayed calm. He pivoted, shielding his fellow clanspeople behind him, ready for the appearance of the Demonic Beasts.
In no time, dust kicked up into the air.
Once the dust settled, the silhouettes of dozens of Demonic Beasts became visible as they converged, fixing their gaze on Lin Tianming and his companions, poised to attack at any moment.
“Scorpion Clan beasts!” Lin Tianfeng shouted.
Surveying the scene, it was indeed a Scorpion Clan group, numbering over fifty, among which were two Second Order Initial Stage beasts, evidently a male and a female pair.
Beyond them were more than ten First Order Late Stage beasts, and the rest were at the Initial Phase and Medium Stage—hardly a threat.
“Leave those two Second Order beasts to me; eliminate the rest as quickly as you can!”
After shouting his orders, Lin Tianming, gripping the Tiangang Sword, charged forth with the speed of an arrow.
At the same time, Lin Xingzhi and Lin Tianfeng were the first to engage, unleashing a flurry of attacks and charging towards two First Order Late Stage Sword Venom Scorpions.
Upon witnessing Lin Tianming and his kinsmen take action, the two Second Order Scorpions let out a shrill cry, wielding their giant pincers, and leaped a hundred yards towards Lin Tianming.
Lin Tianming snorted coldly. His Tiangang Sword radiated a brilliant Spiritual Light, sending out streaks of Sword Qi at extreme speed, slashing towards the Scorpions.
“Boom!”
The Scorpions hastily dodged the attack and then swiped their massive pincers towards Lin Tianming.
Seeing the incoming giant pincers, Lin Tianming knew a direct hit could cause serious damage, even with his Dual Cultivation of Body and Law.
Fortunately, the Scorpions weren’t very fast, and their Second Order Initial Stage wasn’t very high, making them not too difficult to dodge.
Lin Tianming, unruffled, dodged and released multiple bursts of Sword Qi from his Tiangang Sword.
This time, one Scorpion wasn’t so lucky. Under the barrage of Qi, it failed to evade in time and was struck by a burst of Sword Qi on its tail.
“Crackle and pop…” A series of metallic clangs rang out as cracks formed on the Scorpion’s black shell-tail.
“Hiss…” The Scorpion writhed in pain, wildly swinging its venomous tail spike like an invisible sword, stabbing towards Lin Tianming.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming’s expression turned grave. His attack failed to sever the Scorpion’s not-so-large tail, which was somewhat unexpected.
This was his first encounter with such a beast. Although he had heard of them and seen descriptions in books,
after one exchange, it was clear their attack and defensive power were extremely strong, but their speed was a significant weakness.
Now, as the Scorpion’s venomous tail spike drew near, Lin Tianming opened his Eye of Five Colors, slowing the seemingly lightning-fast attack.
Elated, Lin Tianming moved like the wind, effortlessly dodging the furious blow.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the other Scorpion’s attack promptly followed.
Facing the fierce onslaught of the two Scorpions, with the help of the Eye of Five Colors, Lin Tianming became a blur, weaving between them.
Meanwhile, he seized every opportunity to counterattack.
At this time, the entire mound was under siege. Lin Tianming fought fiercely with the two Second Order Scorpions at the edge, with constant, thunderous blasts echoing as countless mounds were battered into a mess by their respective attacks.
Not far from them, Lin Xingzhi and his fellow clansmen battled with the First Order Scorpions.
Although the Scorpions had a numerical advantage, Lin Xingzhi and the others were not outmatched in cultivation. With experience in battle and strength nearly at the limit of the Qi Refinement Realm, they held their own.
