123: The city is broken

The scene was still very chaotic, and few people paid attention to Lin Shiming, after all, he was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had just entered the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Instead, the Cultivators highly praised the Cultivators of the Spirit Beast Sect and the Spirit Talisman Sect, following them closely.

Although they couldn't kill the truly precious Yao Beasts, picking up the scraps and not worrying about falling was a stroke of luck.

Lin Shiming put away his Blazing Fire Banner and attacked again with his mother-child swords, as if nothing had happened.

The next moment, a Yao Monkey appeared in the distance, wounded by Lin Shiming's mother sword and the child sword that appeared out of nowhere; the Yao Monkey turned and fled.

"You beast, where do you think you're going!" Lin Shiming jumped off the city wall for the first time, and with another wave of his Blazing Fire Banner, a scorching red light erupted.

The towering flames caught up with the Yao Monkey in an instant, burning it alive.

It also burned several nearby third-order Yao Beasts.

Lin Shiming symbolically picked up a good amount of Spirit Beast Materials from the ground!

Then, without lingering in battle, he jumped back onto the city wall.

Simply descending the city gate, collecting Spirit Beast Materials – such scenes were far too common during this beast tide.

At the shattered part of the spirit platform, the situation was extremely dire; this was where the Yao Beasts attacked most fiercely, and third-order Yao Beasts were practically everywhere.

The Three Sects, plus many Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Yunzhou, fought desperately to resist.

Many Spirit Devouring Ants in the sky were also annihilated, and at the same time, many were collected by Spirit Beast Sect Cultivators using jade boxes.

This included the Cultivator in brocade robes.

The brocade-robed Cultivator smiled, a very warm and gentle smile, like a spring breeze, as he continued to move through the beast horde, occasionally snatching Yao Beasts from Foundation Establishment Cultivators of various Families, and no one dared to object.

With his Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivation and his identity as a Spirit Beast Sect Disciple, no one dared to provoke him.

The next moment, his Divine Sense swept out, and he spotted a rare leopard Yao Beast, his eyes immediately gleaming.

First, a giant red tower Magical Artifact descended to suppress it.

Then he took out a sack-like Magical Artifact, threw it into the air, and as rays of light shimmered again, the leopard Yao Beast was taken into the bag.

The brocade-robed Cultivator accepted the bag with extreme satisfaction, weighed it, and then securely hung it at his waist.

However, the next moment, the brocade-robed Cultivator's brows furrowed sharply, and he took out a jade ruyi, transforming it into a spirit platform.

Almost as soon as the spirit platform formed, a golden light shot out from the Void Realm.

Boom!

With a terrifying, ear-piercing metallic ripping sound, the spirit platform shattered instantly!

The next moment, it directly decapitated the brocade-robed Cultivator.

The brocade-robed Cultivator's flying head was filled with terror and disbelief.

At the moment of his demise, he was still searching his mind for a golden mantis that could still be invisible.

Unfortunately, he never knew what kind of Yao Beast the Golden Winged Mantis was until his death!

The golden Spirit Light came and went quickly, but it still startled everyone.

A newly appeared Yao Beast, one that was invisible and had extremely terrifying attacks, was undoubtedly the most frightening.

"Everyone be careful, there's an invisible Yao Beast!" Everyone immediately deployed their defensive measures, even launching indiscriminate attacks in all directions.

After a moment, then another, seeing that the golden Yao Beast did not reappear, everyone finally relaxed.

Half an hour later, Lin Shiming jumped down from the city wall again and killed a Yao Monkey.

The purple Purple Gold Vine blocked Lin Shiming on all sides, and after a while, Lin Shiming sighed and flew back onto the city wall.

He continued to hold a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone in one hand while manipulating his mother-child swords, his face pale, but still fighting and retreating.

From time to time, the child sword would block an attack for the Lin Family's Qi Refining Cultivators.

In contrast, Lin Xianzhi at this moment wielded a lotus sword, unleashing countless lotus Sword Qi, and many third-order Yao Beasts were slain by Lin Xianzhi.

And it was at this moment that a terrifying sound suddenly came from the west city wall; Lin Shiming's Divine Sense swept over, only to be shocked to discover that the west city wall had been breached.

Clearly, Spirit Devouring Ants were everywhere, and the Yao Beasts were determined to break the city and slaughter its inhabitants!

On the west city gate, three Purple Mansion Great Demons were directly slaughtering from the city wall.

"Slay!" A heaven-shaking Sword Intent appeared again, and Lin Shiming felt as if the entire world was a sword.

Wherever the sword light reached, the Yao Beasts melted away like spring snow, turning into nothing, and even the three Purple Mansion Great Demons died instantly.

They didn't even manage to let out a roar before their deaths.

At the same time, in the sky, a sky-shrouding Golden Wings Great Peng, a mountain-sized Arm-Reaching Ape, plus a brilliantly glowing Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Tiger, and a Three-Headed Yao Python!

A total of four Golden Core Demon Kings appeared, and at the same time, within Qingyun City, the three Golden Core True Persons also emerged, soaring straight into the nine heavens to engage in a terrifying fifth-order battle!

The magnitude of the commotion made everyone feel as if the sky was falling and the earth was rending.

The aftershocks were so severe that even Purple Mansion Cultivators dared not face their might!

The terrifying commotion caused the entire vicinity of Qingyun City to shake violently, and even some houses without Formation reinforcement collapsed and shattered.

And some Qi Refining Early Stage and Middle Stage Cultivators, as well as first and second-order Yao Beasts, were all suffocated by the Spirit Might, let alone able to fight.

The east city gate was also extremely tragic, with countless Cultivators dying, and countless third-order and fourth-order Yao Beasts being used.

At this time, on the east city gate, five or six war treasure ships appeared, with countless attack Formations, plus the Spirit Talisman Sect frantically throwing out Spirit Talismans, which kept the situation at the city gate from being so perilous.

Lin Shiming's pressure also increased dramatically at this time.

In addition to his mother-child swords, he also pulled out his Blazing Fire Banner and Kui Wood Shield, three Medium Grade third-order Magical Artifacts, plus the Purple Gold Vine that would occasionally dart out, which kept Lin Shiming from being so disheveled.

However, he had to constantly watch over the Lin Family's Qi Refining Cultivators, and his face also looked unwell.

Lin Xianzhi, as the Deputy Commander, was still fighting bravely on the front lines, and his Sword Dao Realm of Sword Light Manifestation allowed him to display great Divine Might on the east city gate.

Xie An next to him was even stronger; his cultivation was higher, and although his Sword Dao Realm was not as good as Lin Xianzhi's, his sword techniques and secret arts far surpassed Lin Xianzhi's, actually managing to single-handedly hold back a Purple Mansion Great Demon who had just entered the Purple Mansion Realm!

The crisis finally arrived; the terrified Cultivators discovered that Purple Mansion Cultivators were far too few compared to Purple Mansion Great Demons.

Yunzhou no longer had Purple Mansion Families, so naturally, there were no Purple Mansion Cultivators, and not many Purple Mansion Cultivators from the Three Sects had come, with the war treasure ships bearing the brunt of the assault.

Just then, a third-order Late Stage green ox Yao Beast suddenly charged towards Lin Shiming's side.

Lin Shiming was greatly alarmed; he was only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, and quickly took out the Tiangang Sword Formation!

One hundred and eight magical swords appeared, immediately forming a giant Tiangang Formation Sword in the Void Realm.

It frantically slashed towards the green ox, and with each strike, more than half of his true essence was depleted!

Fortunately, Lin Shiming had two spirit platforms, so his true essence wasn't too depleted.

But the green ox's two horns were terrifyingly powerful, as if they had the effect of shattering spirits, directly knocking the Tiangang Formation Sword flying, and even the Formation patterns on the sword seemed to be shattered quite a bit.

Seeing the green ox about to arrive, Lin Shiming once again sent out nine Formation swords, instantly forming a surrounding sword Formation, and bursts of purple light transformed into countless Sword Qi, cutting towards the green ox.
