122: robbed

The three streaks of sword light were extremely terrifying, and the Foundation Establishment Cultivators didn't even dare to look directly at them.

The next moment, a loud bang echoed!

Two Purple Mansion Great Demon Pythons were directly cut in half at the waist, and the blood rain that erupted poured down like a waterfall.

However, the next moment, yellow light surged from the two Purple Mansion Great Pythons again, and another tail reappeared!

"An immortal Purple Mansion Great Demon?" Zi Xuan Sanren's eyes narrowed slightly, and his three swords had already flown back.

Before Zi Xuan Sanren could make another move, the two Purple Mansion Demonic Pythons soared into the sky.

Zi Xuan Sanren did not pursue them immediately, but the two Demonic Pythons, now fearless, began to cast spells. Their two snake mouths opened wide, Spirit Light recovered, and massive yellow hills began to smash down onto the Fourth-Tier Spirit Shield.

Zi Xuan Sanren had no choice but to use his Flying Sword to shatter them!

On the north city wall, the Cultivators were also shocked by Zi Xuan Sanren's strength; he truly lived up to his reputation as a Sword Cultivator Daoist from Heavenly Sword Peak.

With one sword, he cut two Purple Mansion Great Demons in half at the waist.

But at the same time, they were also shocked by the Yao Beast's intelligence; this was clearly an attempt to lure Zi Xuan Sanren out.

Lin Shiming was on the city wall, not far from Lin Xianzhi. Not far from him were the Disciples of the Qingxuan Sect, who all looked very relaxed.

On his side, however, many Qi Cultivation Disciples left behind by the Foundation Establishment Families were crestfallen. Regardless of whether the beast tide was victorious or not,

their Families had lost their Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

"Sigh!" Lin Shiming couldn't help but sigh. Clearly, those Foundation Establishment Families had become sacrificial pawns.

The beginning and end of the beast tide were obviously controlled by the Golden Core Demon Kings and the Three Sects' Golden Core Immortal Masters.

The Three Sects were in the wrong, and the Yao Beasts needed flesh and death to quell their rage!

Seeing no effect, the Purple Mansion Great Demons once again summoned Third-Tier and Second-Tier Yao Beasts to charge the Formation.

One day, two days!

Large numbers of Yao Beasts died, and the casualties among Foundation Establishment Cultivators were even greater; even the Qingxuan Sect's Foundation Establishment Disciples suffered many deaths.

During this period, Lin Shiming continued to search for Third-Tier Demonic Monkeys and collect their corpses. However, too few Third-Tier Demonic Monkeys possessed inner cores; he killed over twenty, but not a single one had an inner core!

His Storage Pouch was starting to feel empty.

On the fourth day, several war treasure ships flew in from a distance!

One war treasure ship flew a Qinglong White Moon Banner of the Spirit Beast Sect, and another flew a Golden Sun Treasure Book Banner, indicating that they were the war treasure ships of the Spirit Beast Sect and the Spirit Talisman Sect, arriving as reinforcements.

As the two war treasure ships approached, a terrifying spiritual might suppressed all the heroes!

In an instant, all the Yao Beasts retreated ten miles!

Clearly, on both war treasure ships, there were beings comparable to the Heavenly Sword Immortal Master.

With the support of the two sects, facing the beast tide on the city wall became much easier.

However, the number of Yao Beasts in the tide did not decrease at all.

At the same time, the Fourth-Tier Purple Mansion Great Demons also increased.

On the north city gate, the Purple Mansion Cultivators known to the Foundation Establishment Cultivators included four people and one Yao Beast.

Among them were two from the Qingxuan Sect, Zi Xuan Sanren and another Daoist named Golden Light Sanren; the Spirit Beast Sect also sent a Daoist and his innate Fourth-Tier Spirit Beast; and the Spirit Talisman Sect sent one Purple Mansion Daoist.

The situation seemed to be greatly improving, but Lin Shiming remained worried!

The beast tide surged again. This time, leading the charge was a gigantic Six-Winged Mantis. Aside from its color differing from his Jin Chi (Golden Wings) Mantis, it was astonishingly similar.

"This is the Six-Winged Sky Mantis, ranked eighty-ninth on the Heaven and Earth Demonic Insect List!" Lin Shiming was extremely shocked. He hadn't expected the beast tide to feature the Six-Winged Sky Mantis, ranked ninety-eighth!

He hadn't found the Demonic Monkey's inner core, but this type of Six-Winged Sky Mantis would definitely be of great help to his Jin Chi (Golden Wings) Mantis.

Especially since the latter could still consume Beast Nurturing Pills and had not yet reached its limit.

And the Demonic Mantis before him proved his intuition: it was a Third-Tier Middle Stage Yao Beast with incredibly terrifying speed and explosive power.

Its two massive green scythe-like forelegs were extremely sharp!

However, as everyone stood ready, expecting to defend themselves with the city wall and Formation as before, a terrifying swarm of flying ants appeared at some unknown point.

These flying ants flew out in a blink of an eye, and in another blink, they swarmed towards the Spirit Shield Formation.

The next moment, the Spirit Shield was bitten through, creating a large hole.

"The Spirit Devouring Ant, ranked seventy-eighth!" Lin Shiming's face changed drastically.

This type of demonic ant was famously known as the Spirit-Breaking Divine Ant, particularly fond of consuming Spirit Shields and spiritual materials. On the Heaven and Earth Demonic Insect List, it was an extremely terrifying existence, because no spiritual Formation could guard against this swarm of demonic ants.

A large number of Yao Beasts poured through the gap in the Spirit Shield.

And almost simultaneously with the appearance of the spiritual hole, ten Purple Mansion Great Demons flew in from a distance. The four Purple Mansion Daoists hadn't even had time to clear the area before they could only issue orders and resolutely engage the Fourth-Tier Purple Mansion Great Demons.

"Xie An, lead the men to eliminate that swarm of flying ants!"

The first to act were the people from the Spirit Beast Sect. They clearly recognized the name of these Spirit Devouring Ants, and they charged out frantically, throwing out many jade Magical Artifacts from their hands!

This was the only weakness of the Spirit Devouring Ant noted on the Demonic Insect List: they couldn't devour jade artifacts. Otherwise, this type of spiritual insect could very well rank among the top fifty!

And the Disciples of the Qingxuan Sect had already charged into the beast tide.

Lin Shiming was also very interested in the Spirit Devouring Ants, but competing with the Spirit Beast Sect, he decisively gave up.

Instead, he targeted the Six-Winged Devilish Mantis.

The Six-Winged Devilish Mantis's speed was too fast, so Lin Shiming decisively formed a hand seal. This time, he directly activated a full ten Purple Gold Vines.

The golden spear roots at the base of the Purple Gold Vines were not activated first; instead, the vines themselves instantly transformed into gigantic vines, sealing off the Six-Winged Sky Mantis from all angles and isolating the other Yao Beasts.

The Six-Winged Devilish Mantis was also incredibly fast and its attacks were astonishingly powerful. Not a single Purple Gold Vine could entangle it; they were all torn apart one by one.

But one must remember that Purple Gold Vines grow in bunches, not just countless individual vines, but a full ten bunches, tightly surrounding it in three inner and three outer layers!

And not only that, this time, Lin Shiming took out the Blazing Fire Banner.

The small banner, under his command, quickly transformed into a three-to-four-meter-tall fiery red giant banner, with flames flowing on it, emitting waves of intense heat.

With a wave of the fire banner, all the Purple Gold Vines were ignited, with wood fueling the fire!

In an instant, the Six-Winged Sky Mantis was scorched, crying out in pain.

And it was at this moment that countless golden Spiritual Roots shot out from underground, heading straight for the Six-Winged Sky Mantis.

Boom! Boom!

The Six-Winged Sky Mantis had already dodged, but it clearly hesitated in the flames and was pierced by many of the Purple Gold Vine's spear roots.

Lin Shiming's brow immediately relaxed.

Just then, a cloth bag suddenly flew out, emitting a brilliant light towards the sky. With a flicker of light, it directly absorbed the Six-Winged Sky Mantis.

Lin Shiming looked over and saw a Spirit Beast Sect Disciple, dressed in a brocade robe with Spirit Beast motifs, collecting the bag with extreme satisfaction.

He showed no sign of embarrassment for stealing the Yao Beast, not even glancing at Lin Shiming.

Then, this Spirit Beast Sect Disciple flew back into the swarm of Spirit Devouring Ants nearby and began to collect the Spirit Devouring Ants!

Lin Shiming's face was grim, and a strange Killing Intent filled his eyes!

This was the first time he had been robbed of a monster, robbed of his spoils of war!
