Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 398 - 236 Facing the Battle_2

Chapter 398 -236 Facing the Battle_2

Fortunately, all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators were alive, but Lin Tianyue and Lin Tianqin were gravely injured and had almost lost their combat ability.

Besides that, other Foundation Establishment Cultivators were all wounded, with their strength reduced to less than half; over sixty Qi Refining Clanspersons, all above the Fifth Level of Qi Refinement, had perished.

In the more than twenty years since the battle at Green Bamboo Mountain, the Lin Family had never suffered such heavy losses. To see such a large number of clanspeople fall, all of them being their main force, truly was a first.

Lin Shikang stood on the mountaintop, his Qingfeng Sword in hand with Sword Qi swirling around it. His eyes bloodshot with anger, he glared at the Biyun Beast Clan ahead.

Behind him, each clansperson gritted their teeth, putting aside their sorrow, already engulfed in hatred.

In the ranks of the Biyun Beast Clan, there was no longer the unstoppable momentum they had had initially. In their eyes seemed to be a mixture of fear and reluctance.

...

On the eerily silent battlefield, neither side dared to initiate hostilities.

Lin Shikang turned to look at Lin Shihua and others, silently pondering the next move.

In the current situation, if the battle continued, the Lin Family might be able to achieve victory, but the loss of clanspeople would only increase further.

If they gave up on annihilating the struggling Biyun Beast Clan, the clanspeople could retreat to the Protective Clan Formation.

With the protection of the Protective Clan Formation, this severely damaged Demon Beast Tribe had no chance of breaking through the formation.

However, even so, the demonic beast attacks would not cease. If they were unlucky enough to encounter an even larger Demon Beast Tribe joining in, it was very possible.

If the next wave of demonic beast attacks came quickly and the two large tribes joined forces, the clan territory would once again be plunged into crisis.

Considering these factors, Lin Shikang hesitated slightly, uncertain of what to do.

Among the Biyun Beast Clan, two Second Order Late-Stage Demon Beasts growled at each other, seemingly communicating.

After a few breaths, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two Second Order Late-Stage Biyun Beasts took the lead, shooting towards the depths of the Luoyun Mountain Range.

Following them, the rest of the Biyun Beast Clan kept pace, and in the blink of an eye, they vanished from sight.

Seeing this, the clanspeople were dumbfounded, not expecting the Biyun Beast Clan to retreat on their own, which took them by surprise.

At this moment, Lin Shikang breathed a sigh of relief. The voluntary retreat of the Biyun Beast Clan avoided an even more brutal battle.

This couldn’t have been better, otherwise, he would have had a hard time making a decision.

As for pursuing these Biyun Beast Clan members, he had no interest whatsoever.

Currently, all the clanspeople were exhausted, and with the injured injured and the dead dead, the strength they could muster was very limited.

Even if they managed to kill those First Order Demon Beasts, the two Second Order Late-Stage Biyun Beasts remained powerful. His own condition was greatly diminished, and even with the combined efforts of the Soul-eating Spider and the clanspeople, they still couldn’t ensure the beasts were left behind.

Further, it’s unwise to chase a desperate enemy, as it might provoke the Biyun Beast Clan into a deadly counterattack in their desperation, which would only lead to even greater losses for the family.

Therefore, pursuing them was extremely unwise.

Gathering his thoughts, he turned and instructed Lin Shihua, “Immediately collect the remains of the clanspeople and bury them in the family cemetery; make sure the compensations are delivered promptly.”

“And these Demon Beast corpses, we must also deal with them quickly. Everyone should recover from their injuries as soon as possible to be prepared for the next crisis!”

Hearing the orders, Lin Shihua nodded and immediately turned to direct some clanspeople to clean the battlefield.

The clanspeople behind him busied themselves, with some collecting the bones of the fallen clanspeople, others gathering all the useful Demonic Beast Materials, and finally burning the useless parts of the demon beast corpses.

After looking over the busy crowd, Lin Shikang stepped into the Protective Clan Formation and disappeared from the sight of the clanspeople.

…

Golden Horn Mountain.

A river valley, located over a hundred miles away from the Golden Horn Mountain Clan Territory, formed by the confluence of three rivers.

Due to the abundance of water resources, after the water vapor evaporated, it condensed into a thick fog that enveloped an area spanning dozens of miles.

In the midst of the dense fog, a Purple Gold Eagle was circling, with Lin Tianming standing on its back, using his Eye of Five Colors to size up what lay beneath the fog.

Directly below, a group from the Golden Fang Beast Clan was gathering together.

The Golden Fang Beasts were Metal Attribute social demonic beasts that enjoyed consuming minerals rich in Metal Attribute and would store the ingested minerals. When engaged in combat, they could spit them out with formidable power.

Their bodies were not large, adult Golden Fang Beasts were only about a zhang in size, but they had sharp teeth and beaks capable of crushing even Second Order magical artifacts without much effort, making their offensive power extremely strong.

Adult demon beasts could reach the Second Order Late Phase, and the size of the tribe varied, usually numbering around 300. Slightly larger groups could reach over 500.

This cluster of Golden Fang Beasts was a particularly vast group, nearly 500 in scale, which was extremely rare in the Cultivation World.

This demon beast tribe was the one he had previously discovered.

After leaving the Golden Horn Mountain Clan Territory, Tian Ming took advantage of the Purple Gold Eagle’s flying capability and followed behind this group of Golden Fang Beasts.

He was very aware of his own strength; handling a tribe led by a Second Order Medium Stage demon beast would not pose much danger.

However, this group of Golden Fang Beasts included a Second Order Late-Stage Demon Beast along with other Second Order demonic beasts. If he wasn’t careful and got surrounded, he might end up dying here.

Thus, he was not in a hurry to act but instead followed behind, waiting for the opportunity.

Thanks to the Purple Gold Eagle’s flying speed, along with the thick fog, the demonic beasts had yet to discover him.

After tracking the Golden Fang Beast Clan for a long time, he arrived at the core area of this river valley.

Under the influence of this thick fog, the perception of the Golden Fang Beasts was weakened.

Although his Divine Sense was also reduced, with the help of the Eye of Five Colors, the fog did not greatly affect his strength.

If it came to a fight, his strength would not diminish, and with the Golden Fang Beasts’ reduced perception, their strength would certainly not be as formidable as in other areas.

Consequently, this river valley became an opportunity. If used correctly, he might be able to complete his plan ahead of schedule.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianming’s expression became excited. He silently took out the Tiangang Sword and several Second Order talisman papers, readying himself to attack at any moment.

As time slowly passed, the Purple Gold Eagle stealthily descended further, bringing them closer to the beasts.

With the Purple Gold Eagle having descended to less than a thousand zhang, the Second Order Late-Stage Golden Fang Beast seemed to notice something and looked up at the dense fog with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that the Golden Fang Beast might have noticed him, Lin Tianming frowned and immediately decided to attack first.

He made up his mind, pinched a Law Decree, and the Second Order talisman papers in his hand flashed brightly, followed by a downpour of sword qi from the sky.

At the same time, he patted his storage bag, and fifty-six Earth Evil Artifacts shot out, swiftly disappearing into the surroundings under the cover of the fog, quickly concealing themselves.

After completing these preparations, he recited an arcane incantation without holding anything back, and the Tiangang Sword flew from his hand. It immediately unleashed the Tiangang Sword Qi Fifth Sword, slicing towards the Second Order Late-Stage Golden Fang Beast.

Lin Tianming didn’t hold back at all when he made his move.

He was so resolute in his attack to see if he could try to kill the Second Order Late-Stage Golden Fang Beast, or at the very least, severely injure it.

If he succeeded, without a Second Order Late-Stage demon beast to lead them, dealing with the remaining First and Second Order Initial and Medium Stage Golden Fang Beasts would be much easier with his strength.

As the Tiangang Sword created intense fluctuations, the ambushed Golden Fang Beast reacted.

It let out a sky-piercing roar, alerting the nearby demon beast tribe to quickly disperse to avoid being affected by the attacks coming from above.

Hearing the roar from the Golden Fang Beast leader, the nearby beasts turned and scrambled in different directions to escape.

The Second Order Late-Stage Golden Fang Beast then leaped forward and spat out a golden stone, seemingly a Second Order Superior Metal Attribute Spirit Ore.

The stone moved swiftly, colliding with Lin Tianming’s sword qi in a brief instant.
