109: Sword Array to Kill Pests

Almost at the same moment Li Chengzhi gave a sinister smile, the black swarm of insects behind him also headed towards the Lin Family.

As soon as this black insect swarm appeared, Lin Shiming's expression became even more grim.

These black armored insects were called Black Ant Insects, ranking one hundredth on Cultivator Wu's list of Heavenly Yao Beasts.

But don't be fooled by their lower ranking compared to the Six-Winged Sky Mantis; the Black Ant Insects, due to their insurmountable numbers, instilled even greater dread in Cultivators!

Each Black Ant Insect was impervious to blades and spears, and ordinary weapons couldn't deal with them. Moreover, they could gnaw through Spirit Shields, proving especially effective against mountain-protecting Grand Formations.

"Don't let these Black Ant Insects get close!" Lin Shiming was the first to take out his Purple Wood Sword!

At this moment, there was no need to nurture the Formation Swords. Lin Shiming's true essence was fully unleashed, and instantly, purple light permeated the area, with Sword Qi crisscrossing!

One sword strike directly swept into the Black Ant Insect swarm!

Large numbers of Black Ant Insects died, but terrifyingly, both Sword Qi and true essence sword light were devoured by the Black Ant Insects.

And with their terrifying numbers, in the blink of an eye, the true essence attached to his Purple Wood Sword would be gnawed clean, and then he wouldn't even be able to control his sword.

Lin Shiming hastily recalled his sword, feeling a bit anxious at this point.

He then took out the Five Elements Pagoda and released Five Elements Spells. It did have some effect, but the Five Elements Pagoda was, after all, only a Medium Grade second-tier Magical Artifact, not even a third-tier Magical Artifact, so its effect was even poorer.

While Lin Shiming was fighting here, the battle on the other side was equally fierce.

Lin Xianzhi controlled the Nine Yuan Formation to contend with Li Xiulei and Li Chengling. The former, a lightning Cultivator, fought with grand and unrestrained moves, full of supreme yang and rigidity. Every thunderbolt caused immense damage to the Formation. The latter, Li Chengling, surprisingly had swordsmanship not much inferior to Lin Xianzhi, having also comprehended some Sword Intent, though not yet reaching the stage of Sword Light Division.

But what was terrifying was that he possessed a third-tier top-grade Magical Sword.

For a time, Qian Bosheng, who could completely suppress a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivator, was now struggling to suppress two Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

On the other side, Qian Bosheng was facing Li Chengzhi and was equally struggling, constantly calling for help from Lin Xianzhi.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, please lend some support! There will be a generous reward afterwards!"

Lin Xianzhi ultimately separated a true essence axe from the nine Magical Artifacts to assist Qian Bosheng.

The Peak Foundation Establishment battle had already begun, and among the Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivators, the Li Family had only sent three people, all Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. However, not only were their equipment excellent, but they also brought three third-tier Yao Beasts.

Qian Zichu, indeed worthy of Lin Shiming's caution, was a fierce Body Cultivator who single-handedly charged into three third-tier Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts and also confronted a Body Cultivator from the Li Family.

Fighting one against four, although his injuries continued to worsen, he fought ferociously, exchanging injuries for injuries, like a humanoid beast.

For a time, he even forced the Li Family Cultivators to retreat a bit.

As for the Lin Family, Lin Houyong was facing a Daoist Robe Cultivator from the Li Family.

The remaining one charged towards Lin Shiming.

The Black Ant Insects' target was the Spirit Shield of the Nine Yuan Xuan Tian Grand Formation, as well as breaking down the Formation's core.

As long as Lin Shiming was killed, or the Spirit Insects broke through the Formation, Li Chengling and Li Xiulei would be able to quickly kill Lin Xianzhi and seize victory.

At this moment, Lin Shiming's expression grew even darker. The domineering nature and terrifying numbers of the Black Ant Insects already made him feel extremely troublesome, and now a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator had arrived.

Seeing this, he took out seeds and scattered them. The next moment, ten Serpent Vine Flowers rose to meet the enemy, along with countless Iron Bramble Wood.

With the sound of breaking ground, the entire underground stone hall was instantly occupied by vines.

The ten Serpent Vine Flowers were, after all, only second-tier top-grade Magical Artifacts, and they were much slower in entangling the Li Family Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

The latter dodged with a swift movement.

"A Foundation Establishment Cultivator using Qi Condensation methods in battle? Don't you find it laughable?"

The latter scoffed, also taking out a set of Magical Swords. These three Magical Swords formed a set of third-tier Medium Grade Magical Swords: one mother sword and two child swords, which flew into the air.

The sword light flared, and all ten Serpent Vine Flowers were cut in half. Large areas of Iron Bramble Wood were also directly cleared by the child swords, not even having time to release their iron thorns.

Furthermore, the mother sword shot towards Lin Shiming, while the other child sword shot towards Lin Shiming's Purple Wood Sword.

The Purple Wood Sword couldn't be used, and the Black Ant Insects ignored the Purple Bramble Wood, buzzing and flying towards the Formation.

The Li Family Daoist Robe Cultivator saw that Lin Shiming didn't even have a defensive third-tier Magical Artifact, and his eyes immediately filled with mockery, as if he had already foreseen Lin Shiming's head separating from his body.

However, in the next moment, from among the swept-away Iron Bramble Wood, nine green Spirit Swords suddenly appeared!

These were precisely the Formation Swords that Lin Shiming had released along with the seeds, successfully confusing the enemy's vision, and then positioned!

The Formation Swords almost formed a nonagon, encircling the Black Ant Insects.

Sword Qi crisscrossed and intersected, instantly annihilating a large number of Black Ant Insects.

The remaining Black Ant Insects were still fiercely aggressive, devouring sword light and Sword Qi, flying forward over the corpses of their kind. However, unlike other sword techniques,

Lin Shiming's was a secret Spell sword Formation, with the wood attribute's endless vitality and continuous regeneration displayed to its fullest.

The number of Black Ant Insects visibly decreased.

And the sword Formation continued to glow brightly, with an unending supply of Sword Qi!

Moreover, the two child swords were also trapped within it, while Lin Shiming's Purple Wood Sword could instantly return to his side, continuing to face the mother sword.

The Li Family Foundation Establishment Cultivator's expression instantly became incredibly ugly.

Not only did the Black Ant Insects fail to break the Formation, but they were being annihilated at an extremely terrifying rate, making his hair stand on end. Even if they won this battle, he would still have to face Li Chengzhi's wrath!

His expression instantly turned extremely furious!

"You brat, how dare you play dirty tricks! Then you shall die!"

With an angry shout, the mother sword emitted a dazzling sword light. The next moment, terrifyingly, the two child swords vanished into thin air and reappeared on either side of the mother sword!

All three swords shot towards Lin Shiming simultaneously!

This single sword strike used up all the Foundation Establishment Cultivator's true essence, its sword light extending for tens of miles, solely for a guaranteed kill!

The powerful sword light made the Li Family Cultivator instantly brimming with confidence. However, at this moment, what made him disbelieving was that he instead saw a look of mockery at the corner of Lin Shiming's mouth!

Wasn't that the exact expression he had just worn when he was certain of victory?

But, how could he?

But the next moment, he couldn't see the answer. In the Void Realm, a transparent Spirit Light flickered, and an invisible fluctuation spread out. Almost directly in front of the Li Family Cultivator's face, a giant golden mantis blade silently descended.

The Spirit Shield was useless, the Spirit Shield shattered!

The automatically defensive Spirit Shield was useless, the Spirit Shield was sliced away!

His gaze was still fixed on the past moment, but his head had already flown high, no longer reacting!

Assassination successful!

The golden mantis blade returned to the Void Realm once more!

But Lin Shiming wasn't happy. The previous mother and child swords were still there, just uncontrolled. Fortunately, the Purple Wood Sword had already returned.

He slashed sideways, forcefully deflecting all three Spirit Swords, leaving behind a thirty-meter deep sword-path crack!

The Purple Wood Mysterious Sky Sword Formation also completely annihilated the Black Ant Insects!

The nine Formation Swords flew back one by one. Although he had lost a considerable amount of true essence, the Formation had been preserved, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he put away the Storage Pouch and the mother-child swords of the Li Family Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and continued to charge towards the Foundation Establishment Cultivator that Lin Houyong was fighting.
