Chapter 408: Chapter 241: Weakening_2
Apart from Lin Shilu and two other Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivators, the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators all achieved certain results, almost reaching their pre-battle goals.
At this point, the Human Cultivators successfully weakened the Demon Beast Tribe, killing two Second Order Initial Stage Cedar Beasts and severely injuring four Initial Stage Demon Beasts. If the battle continued, the situation could likely turn around, with losses only increasing.
Thinking of this, Lin Shilu already had plans for a temporary retreat.
Making up his mind, he bellowed, “All Qi Refining Stage Cultivators prepare to retreat back into the Formation, I will temporarily hold off the Demon Beasts with Su Daoyou and Luo Daoyou. Seize the time to retreat!”
As soon as his words fell, the market’s Defensive Array once again opened a gap, temporarily maintaining the pathway for the cultivators’ retreat.
Lin Shilu repelled the two Cedar Beast leaders with one strike, then leapt forth, converging with Su He and Luo Chenggu.
The Qi Refining Cultivators below, upon hearing the news of the retreat, were all excited.
Although they currently had some advantages, when it came to the endurance of a large-scale battle, the Human Race couldn’t compare to the Demon Beast Race; the longer the fight was dragged out, the more unfavorable it would be for them.
The Qi Refining Cultivators, keenly aware of this, involuntarily converged together, forming a long dragon, retreating while fighting, slowly entering the Formation.
Seeing the Human Cultivators wanting to retreat, the Second Order Cedar Beasts seemed a bit annoyed. Their tribe had suffered more losses than the Human Race, and with the upper hand in high-order combat power, how could they possibly let the Human Cultivators retreat so easily?
At this time, a few Second Order Demonic Beasts bared their teeth and converged, charging toward Lin Shilu and the others as if they intended to retain them and salvage some face.
Facing the surging Cedar Beast Tribe, Lin Shilu and his companions had extremely grave expressions.
They were already at a disadvantage prior to this and now had to face even more desperate attacks from the Demon Beasts, all to buy time for the Qi Refining Stage Cultivators to retreat, which only increased the pressure.
Lin Shilu gave a bitter smile, then spoke up, “Fellow Daoists, don’t hold back anymore. As long as we retreat unscathed, our mission will be fully accomplished, and the remaining Demon Beasts are nothing to fear!”
Hearing this, Su He and Luo Chenggu nodded, fully agreeing with his words.
Now that their goal had been reached and Lin Shilu had issued the retreat order, it allowed the two of them to breathe a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, if they continued to fight, they would be severely injured, likely having to reveal some of their trump cards, and even use some of their life-saving measures.
The two agreed to advance and retreat together with the market, and were willing to wade through this muddy water, but if this were the result, it was not what either of them desired.
Regaining their focus in the face of the oncoming Demon Beast Tribe, Su He and Luo Chenggu had no time to think further or dare to hold back, suddenly unleashing even more formidable power.
Together, the three mustered a powerful attack, forming a protective wall to block the vast Demon Beast Tribe, fighting to buy time for the Qi Refining Cultivators.
Accompanied by a series of earth-shattering sounds, their attacks collided with the Demon Beast Tribe.
“Boom…”
Explosions echoed throughout the heavens and earth, the powerful clash kicking up a mass of dust and obscuring everyone’s vision.
Seizing this opportunity, the Lin Family members rushed into the Formation first, followed by a large number of Qi Refining Cultivators entering the Formation.
At this moment, Lin Shilu and the others launched their fierce attacks in succession, frequently bombarding the Demon Beast Tribe with Sword Qi and the Overturning Mountain Seal.
Amidst the wails of agony, aside from the Second Order Demonic Beasts that could withstand an attack, the First Order Demon Beasts met certain death upon contact.
Witnessing their offspring and progeny being slaughtered, the two Second Order Demonic Beasts’ eyes turned blood red as they bared their teeth at Lin Shilu and the others, appearing extremely angry.
The two Cedar Beast leaders roared to the sky, spitting out a large quantity of ice balls, far more than any previous time.
It was evident they were enraged; facing the grim massacre, they completely released any reserve, expelling nearly all their limited ice balls, vowing to take the three with them.
Facing this even more terrifying attack, Lin Shilu and his companions’ expressions turned solemn, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
“Fellow Daoists, don’t hold back. If we join forces to block this strike, we should be able to retreat unscathed!”
Lin Shilu shouted loudly, his Spirit Sword unleashed a massive amount of Sword Qi, and the Overturning Mountain Seal above his head also pressed down on the Cedar Beasts.
His goal was simple: to make the Demonic Beasts hesitate in their attacks for fear of damaging their own, to halt their assault on them; otherwise, under the combined force of so many desperate Demonic Beasts, the pressure on them was enormous. A moment’s carelessness could lead to severe injury or even death.
Hearing these words, Su He and Luo Chenggu, who stood beside him, dared not take any chances. They each brought out their trump cards, evidently fighting for their lives.
Su He waved his sleeve, and a pale golden Token flew from his hand, transforming into a wall that stood in front of the three men.
This Magic Artifact was one of his trump cards, containing a wealth of earth-property spiritual objects. It had been refined over a long time and at great expense. It consumed significant energy with each use and was extremely troublesome to replenish. He was reluctant to use it unless absolutely necessary.
Facing such a terrifying attack, in the current situation, he had no choice but to use it.
Luo Chenggu was not to be outdone, as a gourd-type Magic Artifact appeared in his hand. Following a Law Decree, a large amount of blood-red smoke erupted and poured towards the oncoming Demon Beast horde.
As the smoke and Lin Shilu’s attacks arrived as expected, all the Demonic Beasts dared not take them lightly.
Some First Order Demon Beasts couldn’t avoid in time, falling directly to the ground dazed by the smoke and soon died silently.
Seeing the smoke so eerie, some Second Order Demonic Beasts also started to panic. Two injured Second Order Demonic Beasts tried to dodge but were pierced through the head by the Sword Qi blasted by Lin Shilu.
With their dying cries, they fell unwillingly, provoking the two Cedar Beast leaders once again.
The two Demon Beast leaders roared angrily, intending to continue their assault on Lin Shilu and the others, but a golden Seal descended from above, pressing down like a massive mountain.
Despite their rage, they had to halt their attack, as this was an assault from a Foundation Establishment Late-Stage Cultivator, one they couldn’t simply ignore.
Both Demon Beast leaders twisted their bodies, moving at extreme speed, and narrowly avoided the Overturning Mountain Seal’s strike.
At that moment, the ice balls they had spat out also descended in front of Lin Shilu and the others.
Confronted with ice ball attacks far superior to the earlier ones, Lin Shilu’s Green Scale Shield shone with Spiritual Light, transforming into a huge shield that protected the three men behind it.
In an instant, the ice balls bombarded the shield and the wall barrier.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
The explosion was deafening, incessant to the ear.
The Green Scale Shield blocked a majority of the ice ball attacks. However, the sheer number of ice balls, most of them aimed in his direction, was overwhelming.
Fortunately, the Green Scale Shield’s defensive power was exceptionally outstanding. After being carefully refined by Lin Shilu, containing a large number of spiritual objects, and having withstood many great battles, it had repeatedly blocked powerful attacks.
This time, it did not disappoint, blocking all of the incoming ice balls.
The remaining ice balls hit the wall barrier.
The Defense Artifact that Luo Chenggu had summoned had some tricks, blocking all of the ice ball attacks with practically no damage, only dimming the light on the Token slightly.
As the last ice ball exploded, this round of terrifying ice ball attacks temporarily ceased.
When the dust cleared, Lin Shilu withdrew the Green Scale Shield and, seeing the several cracks on it, had no time to feel distressed.
Although the Defense Artifact was damaged, as a Second Order Refiner, with the right Artifact Refining Materials, it wouldn’t take him long to repair it.
Lin Shilu turned around to see that nearly a thousand people had almost all successfully entered the Formation. It was time for the three of them to start their retreat.
“Fellow Daoists, it’s about time. Let’s retreat!”
Lin Shilu called out loudly, and then he hurriedly retreated, moving with extreme speed.
Su He and Luo Chenggu were not slow either. The two of them followed Lin Shilu’s lead, one in front, one behind, and turned into blurs as they rushed straight into the Formation.
