160: Counterattack

The entire Cloud Mirror Mountain completely transformed into a Hell, with many Devil Cultivator methods involving blood and Evil Qi, resulting in a pervasive black mist.

In particular, the Ten Sons Heavenly Demon Formation also condensed ten Devil Heads, which charged towards Lin Gang, Ye Mingqiu, and others.

At this moment, Old Devil Chen truly lived up to his reputation as a True Disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, single-handedly battling Ye Mingqiu and Lu Changming. It should be noted that Lu Changming had ten Third-tier Yao Beasts; in addition to the two previously mentioned Red Luan Eagles, two more Third-tier Late Stage Azure-eyed Tigers appeared.

Two people and four beasts fought Old Devil Chen alone. The large black grinding disc was truly invincible; no matter what attack, whether it was an invincible Sword Qi or an Intermediate-tier Spell, everything was crushed by the grinding disc.

Then, he let out a loud laugh and charged in, surprisingly engaging in close combat with the two Azure-eyed Tigers.

Clearly, his Body Refining technique was also extremely powerful.

Lin Gang, on the other hand, faced two other Late Foundation Establishment Stage Devil Cultivators, while the remaining Devil Cultivator was faced by Lin Xianzhi.

Apparently, in the eyes of the Devil Cultivators, Lin Xianzhi's treasures were clearly not as numerous as those of the others. Although Lin Xianzhi's sword art was formidable, there were also three Heavenly Demons condensed from Formations beside him.

For a time, the Spirit Beast Sect's side was at a disadvantage everywhere, and no one could break out, it was even difficult to reach the boundary of the Ten Sons Heavenly Demon Formation.

The battle was precarious, and Lin Shiming, along with the other Foundation Establishment Early Stage and Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivators, faced no less pressure. He even sensed with his Divine Sense that just now, three more Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivators had fallen. It should be known that Cloud Mirror Mountain only had a total of nineteen Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and now four had died in a short period. Furthermore, the most crucial Xu Daolai and another Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator were trapped inside the mine cave.

Lin Shiming increasingly felt the tension of the situation. Especially at this moment, his father, Lin Houyuan, was also confronted by a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Devil Cultivator. If not for relying on several defensive Magical Artifacts to desperately defend, he would have been in great danger. In contrast, the Qi Refining Cultivators at this moment scattered like birds and beasts, having arrived at the edge of the Ten Sons Heavenly Demon Formation early on.

Those Devil Cultivators paid no mind, for Qi Refining Cultivators, even after ten days and ten nights, would be unable to break through the Formation.

“No, we need to break this deadlock!”

Lin Shiming made up his mind. He was facing a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Devil Cultivator.

The Devil Cultivator extended his large hand, and a blood-colored claw condensed out of thin air, grabbing towards Lin Shiming.

Seeing that this Devil Cultivator was so arrogant, Lin Shiming immediately pinched his fingers, and nine Formation swords flew out, instantly forming a massive Purple Wood Mysterious Sky Sword Formation.

However, before Lin Shiming's attack could land, the Devil Cultivator suddenly laughed, then likewise pulled out a black gourd. A large amount of the same black water that had previously corroded Spiritual Artifacts surged out, rushing towards Lin Shiming's sword Formation.

“Youngster!” The Devil Cultivator sneered repeatedly, utterly despising Lin Shiming and the other Righteous Path Cultivators.

Without Magical Artifacts, what would he use to fight him?

However, in the next moment, before the black water could cover the magical swords, dozens of dense golden spear tips suddenly emerged from underground.

The Devil Cultivator's face instantly changed drastically. He took out a large number of Spirit Talismans and fiercely blasted them down, but after seeing so many Purple Gold Vine roots, he immediately took out a blood-colored straw doll.

It was a Third-tier Substitute Straw Doll, capable of taking the place of a person in critical moments. Lin Shiming had also seen a Second-tier Substitute Treasure at the Auction.

However, before he could pinch the straw doll, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his mind.

In the next moment, his body was pierced through by a golden Spiritual Root.

He never imagined, even in death, that he would be killed by a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator using a Divine Sense attack method.

And almost as soon as Lin Shiming killed this Foundation Establishment Cultivator, many Devil Cultivators looked towards Lin Shiming. This was the second Devil Cultivator to die; the first died under Ye Mingqiu's sword. But it should be known that Lin Shiming was only a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator.

At this moment, Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators like Ye Mingqiu and Lin Gang all cast their gazes aside.

And with that, three Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Devil Cultivators abandoned their opponents and charged towards Lin Shiming.

In the next moment, three blood blades slashed towards Lin Shiming. Lin Shiming had no choice but to once again activate hundreds of Purple Gold Vine Spiritual Roots, transforming them into golden spears that shot towards the three Devil Cultivators. At this moment, the three Devil Cultivators were extremely cunning, floating very high. Even if Lin Shiming used a Divine Sense attack, he couldn't make them lose focus for three breaths of time.

And three breaths of time would be enough for them to react to the golden spiritual spears.

As expected, Lin Shiming's face turned pale when facing the three Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Devil Cultivators. While his spiritual power was greatly depleted, he was filled with worry.

However, Lin Shiming's attack also clearly changed some of the situation.

In the next moment, Lin Gang was the first to fight desperately.

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which landed on the Bagua Magical Artifact in his hand. Immediately, an extremely dense five-colored light appeared, illuminating and immobilizing the two Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

The two Late Foundation Establishment Stage Devil Cultivators also looked extremely panicked, fearing a sneak attack from the Golden Horned Ox. Almost simultaneously, they transformed into a bloody mist and instantly retreated over a hundred meters.

It was the Blood Escape technique.

Lin Gang, seeing this, was not angry but delighted. He wasn't trying to kill anyone at all; at this moment, only a fool would waste true essence to kill someone.

He suddenly turned around, holding three Bloodfiend Thunders in his hand, and fiercely threw them towards the black curtain of the Ten Sons Heavenly Demon Formation.

Instantly, lightning flashed and thundered, engulfing the black spiritual curtain like an ocean. The ten Heavenly Demons immediately let out extremely mournful screams.

The Golden Horned Ox also transformed into a massive golden horn and charged towards the black curtain Formation.

“There's a chance!” Lin Gang was overjoyed.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Mingqiu and Lu Changming also displayed their respective techniques, erupting in a desperate manner, charging towards the outside of the black spiritual curtain.

Both of them also held several Bloodfiend Thunders.

Lu Changming's Yao Beasts, meanwhile, charged madly towards Old Devil Chen and immediately began to self-destruct. First the Third-tier Early Stage Yao Beasts, then the Third-tier Middle Stage Yao Beasts, with continuous roars.

The eruption of the scene almost happened in an instant, and Lin Shiming also began to frantically make hand seals at this time.

His true essence was already dry, and the spirit platform built by the Heavenly Wood Heart began to glow, with a large amount of true essence surging out.

It was at this moment that hundreds of dense, continuous golden spiritual spears emerged from underground. The three Foundation Establishment Middle Stage old devils instantly floated up again, this time directly floating three hundred meters high.

However, Lin Shiming took out a spiritual drum and suddenly began to beat it.

The booming drum sounds immediately transformed into layers of ripples, heading towards the three Devil Cultivators. Accompanied by another Soul Splitting Blade, the three Devil Cultivators screamed almost simultaneously.

All their prepared defensive measures vanished, and the hundred-plus golden spiritual spears also suddenly accelerated by nearly twofold again.

“You are not a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator!” The three Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Devil Cultivators all died in disbelief, falling as corpses.

Lin Shiming waved his hand, picking up the four Storage Pouches one by one, then rushed towards Lin Houyuan. The latter's opponent, the Devil Cultivator, fled in the blink of an eye.

He knew that whether it was the Corpse cultivators in the mine or the Devil Cultivators outside, they all had the advantage, so why would they fight to the death?
