Chapter 164: The Entire Snake Swarm is Wiped Out_1
With the addition of new Earth Evil Swords, their number significantly increased, causing the Sword Array's power to grow exponentially.
In his first real battle, Lin Tianming was quite satisfied with such results.
At this moment, more than thirty Qingxu Snakes within the Sword Array frantically tried to escape, but the space they could live in was steadily shrinking. Their massive bodies had become a burden, resulting in the Monster Serpents biting and attacking each other.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming showed no mercy. He had to end the battle quickly to prevent any unexpected changes from arising.
Making up his mind, he tossed the Tiangang Sword into the sky and then swiftly formed hand seals, chanting the Law Decree.
"Tiangang Nine Swords First Sword... go!"
In an instant, the Tiangang Sword glowed with a brilliant golden light, surrounded by numerous streams of Sword Qi.
As the Law Decree was fully chanted, the Tiangang Sword disappeared from above his head and in the blink of an eye, it went through the Sword Array Barricade and attacked a Second Order Qingxu Snake.
"Hiss hiss!"
The Qingxu Snake that was targeted by the Tiangang Sword was in utter terror. As it struggled furiously, it spat out a fireball from its gaping maw, aiming at the Sword Array Barricade that bound it.
"That Qingxu Snake is fighting desperately!" Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire
Lin Tianming's expression turned solemn; he knew that was the Qingxu Snake's Innate Divine Ability, which was tremendously powerful. However, he had no choice but to endure the damage, as he couldn't cancel the Sword Array to dodge the attack. Otherwise, if the Qingxu Snake broke free from the Sword Array's confines, he would be in danger.
In a split second, Lin Tianming made his decision; even if it meant getting hurt, he had to keep the group of Qingxu Snakes trapped and even aim to kill them.
When he refocused his mind, the Tiangang Sword struck the Second Order Qingxu Snake at its vital seven-inch area, followed by a thunderous explosion.
"Pfft..."
The Qingxu Snake couldn't dodge in time and the Tiangang Sword decapitated it. The bucket-thick snake head fell to the ground, and simultaneously, a large amount of snake blood sprayed out, quickly pooling into a blood lake. Meanwhile, the Qingxu Snake's desperate attack, the fireball, collided with the Earth Fiend Sword Array's Barricade at the same time.
Another explosion echoed, and under the Qingxu Snake's Innate Divine Ability attack, the Earth Fiend Sword Array's Barricade shook violently.
Lin Tianming's face turned pale; he strenuously steadied the sword bodies, with his entire True Yuan running at its limit.
After three breaths of time, the Sword Array Barricade's shaking stopped, and it remained stable.
Simultaneously, as the Sword Array continued to shrink, all the Qingxu Snakes inside were injured, and their numbers were greatly diminished once more.
Lin Tianming was elated, then sighed with relief; he was truly worried the Sword Array would be breached, allowing the Demonic Beasts to escape, which would have caused even more trouble.
Within the Sword Array, seeing their fellow decapitated, the remaining Demonic Beasts became even more violent. The remaining four Second Order Initial Stage Qingxu Snakes frenziedly rammed into the Sword Array Barricade.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Under the furious assaults of the desperate Qingxu Snakes, the sound of collisions echoed through the valley, causing the Sword Array to shake wildly.
Lin Tianming firmly maintained the Sword Array's operation, gradually reducing its scope and depleting the snakes' vitality. As long as he could hold on until Lin Shilu was free to assist, they could annihilate all the Qingxu Snakes.
Time slowly passed...
At a mound a thousand zhang away, Lin Shilu was engaged in a fierce battle with two Qingxu Snakes.
He had been fighting the two Second Order Qingxu Snakes for dozens of rounds. Initially overbearing against the Medium Stage Qingxu Snake, the situation changed when another Second Order Initial Stage Monster Serpent joined the fray compelling him to fight two against one, significantly increasing the pressure, leaving the outcome of the battle hanging in the balance for the time being.
Even though he was fully engaged in battling the two Demonic Beasts, he was also constantly aware of Lin Tianming's situation.
Knowing that Lin Tianming alone was holding off several Second Order Demonic Beasts, along with dozens of First Order Demon Beasts, although a single First Order Demon Beast wouldn't pose much of a threat, the collective numbers were not to be underestimated.
Seeing Lin Tianming's precarious situation, and with his Spiritual Power depleting rapidly, prolonged conflict would be disadvantageous to them, so he had to resolve the battle quickly to assist Lin Tianming.
With that thought, Lin Shilu's expression turned serious, and he rallied his peak momentum.
As he swung his Spirit Sword, the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth around him became utterly chaotic.
"Die, beasts!"
In a flash, several streaks of Golden Sword Qi shot out from his Magic Artifact, each with extreme speed, targeting the Second Order Initial Stage Qingxu Snake.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."
Across from Lin Shilu, the two Second Order Qingxu Snakes opened their moon-sized jaws. As the attack drew nearer, the Medium Stage Qingxu Snake swayed its body, shifting more than ten zhang away.
But the Second Order Initial Stage Monster Serpent, trying to dodge the Sword Qi, found it moving too fast.
Unable to avoid in time, three streams of Sword Qi struck its vital parts, causing flesh to tear and blood staining its body.
"Hiss hiss..."
The Initial Stage Monster Serpent screamed and writhed wildly.
Lin Shilu's forceful strike had critically wounded the Initial Stage Monster Serpent, rendering it incapable of fighting and effectively achieving his objective.
Lin Shilu's expression remained intense; he felt it was a bit regrettable, but with the Initial Stage Monster Serpent nearly out of combat, his goal was reached.
He turned to face the remaining Monster Serpent, his gaze filled with a fighting spirit.
Without any hesitation, he once again wielded his Magic Artifact, charging towards the Monster Serpent.
The Monster Serpent was both frightened and infuriated, its companions dead and its body riddled with bloody holes, it was overtaken by an overwhelming rage, determined to devour that human in revenge.
The Monster Serpent swung its tail, sweeping directly toward Lin Shilu.
