Chapter 406: Chapter 240 Intense Battle_2
Unexpectedly, the demonic beasts only ceased their assault for a moment before they began to attack the formation again, relying on their innate divine abilities, seemingly in an attempt to break through the grand formation in one fell swoop.
As everyone watched, a barrage of ice spheres bombarded the formation’s light screen.
“Boom…”
The numerous ice spheres exploded upon impact with the formation, creating waves that spread outwards.
A thunderous noise echoed, the invisible light screen flickered with light, and the ground shook.
Everyone’s eyes were wide open, watching to see if the formation could continue to operate under such an attack and the extent of the damage it would cause.
After a few moments, the majority of the ice spheres had exploded and dissipated, the formation was still in operation, but a faint color appeared on the invisible light screen.
It seemed the formation’s energy was greatly depleted. Although it wasn’t immediately breached, if it were to endure many more such relentless bombardments, it likely wouldn’t last long.
Having withstood a volley of the Cedar Beasts’ ice spheres, the formation held up against this round of bombardment, and the anxiety of Lin Shilu and the others was somewhat eased.
Lin Shilu chuckled wryly before speaking:
“Luo Daoyou, Su Daoyou, it seems that these demon beasts possess great offensive power. If we allow them to keep bombarding the formation, I’m afraid it won’t last half a month, and our situation will become even more difficult!”
Su He and Luo Chenggu both nodded. After a round of probing, the strength of the Cedar Beasts was indeed terrifying, and hiding within the formation without going out was just delaying the inevitable.
Sooner or later, they would still have to meet in battle and experience a fierce slaughter.
Otherwise, there was no possibility of driving the enemy back.
Thinking of this, Luo Chenggu nodded and said, “Lin Daoyou is correct; awaiting reinforcements while holding our ground may bring temporary safety, but it’s just living on borrowed time. We must find a way to weaken them, or we won’t last long.”
Following his words, Su He also said, “Lin Daoyou, just give your orders. Since I have promised to advance and retreat together with the market town, I will not go back on my word.”
“Whether we launch a proactive attack or hold our ground awaiting reinforcements, you have but to command it, Daoyou Lin, and I will not hesitate.”
At this time, Su He’s words significantly improved the spirits of the worried group. The two Loose Cultivators, who had been lacking in fighting spirit, remembered Lin Shilu’s promise and quickly regained their composure.
Hearing these words, and as several cultivators stood taller, their morale surged. Lin Shilu let out a hearty laugh and then began to give orders.
“Since everyone is so generous, let’s take the initiative to strike and see if we can weaken the strength of the demon beast tribe. If we manage to kill some Second Order demonic beasts, I believe the market town will be temporarily safe.”
“Once we break out of the formation, those two Second Order Late Phase Cedar Beasts will be left to me to hold off.”
“Su Daoyou and Luo Daoyou will each face one of the Second Order Middle Stage Cedar Beasts. We only need to hold them off, and the rest of us will do our best to eradicate the Second Order Initial Stage demonic beasts.”
“If we’re losing or suffer too many casualties, we’ll immediately retreat back inside the formation, and we can then plan our next move.”
Following Lin Shilu’s orders, the cultivators nodded in agreement, and Lin Xingcheng promptly relayed the commands, with all the Qi Refining Stage Cultivators responding.
Seeing the high spirits of the crowd, Lin Shilu took out his attack talisman, and then he stepped forward, the formation’s light screen briefly opening a gap through which he stepped outside.
The rest of the cultivators followed behind, with Su He and Luo Chenggu also crossing through the light screen. Lin Xingcheng, along with the Qi Refining Cultivators, emerged from the formation one after another, like locusts.
In an extremely short amount of time, thousands of cultivators reached outside the formation, and upon seeing the cultivators from inside the formation appear before them, the Cedar Beast Tribe also halted their attack.
The two sides faced each other directly, creating a tense atmosphere.
Lin Shilu stood at the forefront, eyeing the demon beast tribe, his gaze filled with a thick fighting spirit.
With the beast tide underway, he had no idea how the situation was at Green Bamboo Mountain and Golden Horn Mountain. He must break the stalemate to free up his forces to aid the other territories.
In such a situation, he had no room for other thoughts; he merely wanted to achieve victory as quickly as possible.
Gathering his focus, he spoke a few words to give the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators a bit of comfort.
Soon, after a brief restraint from both sides, as the leader of the Cedar Beasts made the first move, the immense Monster Beast Legion behind it also began to move.
Their snarling and ferocious charge came forth, and the two sides immediately engaged in an intense slaughter.
Lin Shilu, as the person with the highest level of cultivation on the field and a member of the Lin Family, took the lead and charged towards the two Cedar Beast leaders approaching him.
Following suit, Su He and Luo Chenggu each found their targets and tasks, intercepting two Medium Stage Second Order Cedar Beasts.
Lin Xingyuan and Lin Xingcheng exchanged a glance, immediately invoking their Attack Talismans, charging toward the Initial Stage Second Order Cedar Beasts like tigers descending the mountain.
The Qi Refining Clanspeople behind them sprang into action, with the Lin Family Cultivator setting an example, the other family members and Loose Cultivators didn’t hesitate, launching into fierce attacks.
In the high skies, Lin Shilu waved the Magic Artifact in his hand frequently, clashing the astounding Sword Qi with the Ice balls spat by the Cedar Beasts.
With his Seventh Level Foundation Establishment cultivation, along with a formidable Attack Talisman and a variety of strange treasures, he initially held some advantage.
Below him, the situation for Su He and Luo Chenggu was somewhat more difficult; as a Loose Cultivator, Su He’s Attack Talisman was too simplistic, relying on two Initial Stage Second Order Talismans to barely block the two Medium Stage Cedar Beasts.
Though Luo Chenggu was a cultivator from a family, having a wider array of offensive methods, his cultivation was only at the Fifth Level of Foundation Establishment. The two Medium Stage Cedar Beasts were very quick and coordinated exceptionally well, soon putting him at a disadvantage.
However, fortunately, the members of the Lin Family were relatively strong, relying on a myriad of Magic Artifacts and talisman paper, they suppressed their opponents.
At this moment, the sky above was filled with battles between Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Second Order Demonic Beasts, each occupying a spot, unleashing earth-shattering attacks, clashing directly with the demonic beasts.
“Boom-boom-boom…”
The sky outside the Formation flashed with dazzling, multicolored lights as various talisman paper spells and Divine Skills from the demonic beasts collided.
For a time, screams were heard, belonging both to the demonic beasts and the Human Cultivators.
The battle continued, both sides plunging into a fierce phase.
After nearly half a quarter-hour of fighting, the ground was riddled with holes, and everywhere were the bodies of demonic beasts and Human Cultivators, with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses, a sight too horrendous to endure.
In the high sky, Lin Shilu’s expression was grave. Faced with a mass of oncoming Ice balls, he called forth the Green Scale Shield, transforming into a massive shield barrier, blocking all attacks.
Using the rebound force, he managed to pull away somewhat, and both sides briefly came to a halt.
After a dozen rounds of fighting, both Cedar Beast leaders had sustained some minor injuries.
He himself had not come out unscathed, with over half of his Spiritual Power depleted and some injuries on his body, but they did not affect his combat power.
Seizing this opportunity, he began to pay attention to the state of the surrounding cultivators.
Glancing around, there were skirmishes everywhere, with the ground beneath littered with countless corpses.
Both Su He and Luo Chenggu were struggling to hold on; while it seemed they were not gaining any advantage, they wouldn’t be in mortal danger for the time being.
As for the key Lin Family members, Lin Xingshun, relying on his Third Level Foundation Establishment cultivation, had already killed an Initial Stage Cedar Beast and severely injured another, having the absolute upper hand.
Lin Xingcheng had also achieved victories, severely wounding an Initial Stage demonic beast, while the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators hadn’t severely injured any beasts, they were not at a disadvantage either.
Surprisingly, on the side of the Qi Refining Cultivators, the Human Cultivators had gained the upper hand.
The lower-order Monster Beasts had limited Spirit Wisdom, and in such a crowded battlefield, their speed couldn’t be fully utilized. Facing overwhelming attacks, they could only rely on their defensive power to clash head-on.
The Human Cultivators were comparatively more agile and could cooperate with nearby cultivators, cross-attacking, yielding doubly effective results.
At this moment, the entire Qi Refining side was roaring with momentum, pressing down on the Demon Beast Tribe with frenzied attacks.
