Chapter 421: Chapter 248 Victory_1
In that instant, the Tiangang Sword Qi had already descended quietly, striking directly at the tail of the Cedar Beast Leader.
“Pu…”
A grating sound, followed by the wails of the Cedar Beast Leader, carried through the air.
Upon closer inspection, the Tiangang Sword Qi had pierced right through the tail of the Cedar Beast, leaving behind a bloody hole as large as a bucket.
Simultaneously, scalding blood spurted out, its crimson color appearing exceedingly vivid and delivering a profoundly shocking visual impact.
The enormous body of the Cedar Beast Leader lay half in a deep pit, writhing in agony, struggling to stand up, and hobbling towards another comrade.
It hoped to regroup with its kind and seek help, but the other Cedar Beast Leader was also in a dire state, being forcefully driven back by Lin Shilu and incapable of attending to it.
At this moment, Lin Tianming watched the Cedar Beast Leader attempting to flee, his resolute face breaking into a gratified smile.
He was very satisfied with the power of his sword strike, as it had severely injured the beast leader. Although it did not take the Cedar Beast Leader’s life outright, it was clear that the injured beast’s strength was greatly diminished.
The struggle was merely a desperate gasp for survival, and death was simply a matter of time.
The cultivators who witnessed this strike were all stupefied, unable to believe that a Second Order Late-Stage Demonic Beast could be so easily incapacitated.
They had assumed that even if Lin Tianming emerged victorious, it would require considerable effort; however, the difference from what they expected left them reeling once more.
While the cultivators were still marvelling, Lin Tianming walked towards the stumbling Cedar Beast, intending to end its life.
Gazing at the approaching Lin Tianming, whose expression bore not a hint of vivacity, and his cold, merciless eyes, the Divine Cedar Leader felt a sense of terror and finally sensed the approach of death.
It struggled furiously, seeking to flee the dreadful human, but injured as it was, its speed was too slow. Not just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, even a Qi Refining Cultivator could catch up with it.
In its desperation, the Tiangang Sword Qi in Lin Tianming’s hand descended once more, cleaving the head of the Cedar Beast right off.
With the thud of a blood-drenched head hitting the ground, the body of the Cedar Beast Leader fell, stirring up a cloud of dust that obscured everyone’s vision.
When the dust settled slightly, they found that the demonic beast no longer moved, its scarlet blood pooling into a puddle on the ground.
This bloody scene, alongside the large eyes on the severed head still wide open, definitively declared the fact of the beast’s death.
Just then, another gruesome cry echoed from not too far away, followed by the sound of something heavy crashing to the ground.
Lin Tianming looked up to see Lin Shilu withdrawing his Overturning Mountain Seal, and the Cedar Beast he had been fighting lay motionless on the ground, evidently slain by him.
Lin Shilu, looking towards Lin Tianming with a somewhat joyous expression, said, “You lad, you were a hair faster than me!”
“It was just luck. The one that Fifteenth Grandfather fought was clearly more powerful!” Lin Tianming replied.
Lin Tianming wasn’t wrong; though both Cedar Beast Leaders were Second Order Late Phase, there were distinct differences in their strength.
Despite Lin Tianming killing his opponent first, when it came to real power, he was still no match for Lin Shilu.
However, he estimated that the gap between them was not large.
In a life-and-death struggle, victory and defeat could hinge on a single thought; often, one moment of hesitation could affect the final outcome.
Under such circumstances, who could ultimately emerge victorious among them was truly unpredictable.
Lin Tianming’s thoughts and assessments weren’t much different from Lin Shilu’s, but Lin Shilu knew well that even if his own strength had a slight edge, his chances of victory were not as good as Lin Tianming’s.
He understood Lin Tianming too well after fighting side by side with him for many years and experiencing numerous life and death crises together.
To Lin Shilu, Lin Tianming was meticulous, cunning, resolute, and audacious. Such a character could often unleash greater strength at critical moments.
Thus, Lin Tianming’s power was not inferior to his own, and with each advancement in cultivation, the gap would only widen further, eventually far surpassing all Lin Family members.
Thinking of these things, Lin Shilu couldn’t help but feel emotional.
“This kid has grown up now, surpassing the older generation in strength. He no longer needs us old folks to shield him from the wind and rain.”
Lost in his thoughts, Lin Tianming’s words brought him back to reality.
“Elder Wu, let’s quickly help the others eliminate the Demonic Beasts to avoid any mishaps and to prevent further sacrifice among our clansmen.”
Lin Shilu nodded, and then they both stepped forward, heading towards where Su He and Luo Chenggu were fighting.
At that moment, Luo Chenggu and Su He were each battling a Demonic Beast, with Lin Xingyuan and Independent Cultivator Liu Zhirong assisting nearby.
Two Foundation Establishment Fifth Level cultivators and two at the Third Level were split into two groups, each facing a Second Order Middle Stage Cedar Beast. With their paired efforts, they both gained the upper hand and tightly suppressed the Cedar Beasts.
As Lin Tianming and Lin Shilu joined the battle, the already disadvantaged Cedar Beasts were further besieged, with no chance or means to resist. They lasted only two more strikes before they were ruthlessly slain by the two men.
Following the demise of several High Order Cedar Beasts, the surviving Cedar Beast Tribe, already at a disadvantage, were killed off one after another under the ferocious assault of the cultivators.
