165: narrow victory

When Lin Shiming saw this, his pupils couldn't help but contract.

He had simulated it countless times in his mind, but he never expected Lu Changming to possess such a terrifying Magical Artifact.

In the nick of time, Lin Shiming suddenly pulled out a Bloodfiend Thunder.

He threw it towards Lu Changming.

The Bloodfiend Thunder he possessed was given by his Seventh Grand Uncle, and all of them had been thrown onto the Ten Sons Heavenly Screen.

However, when the Bloodfiend Thunder exploded, it was completely covered by the Wind Fire Star Sand, and a muffled thunderous sound arose, but it eventually subsided into silence, and the bloody baleful light also vanished without a trace.

The terrifying star sand and Lu Changming still shot fiercely towards him.

They were unstoppable and unavoidable!

The Red-haired Demon Monkey threw out the Profound Spirit Mountain, and Lin Shiming threw out countless Magical Swords, controlling them to self-destruct.

But he still couldn't blast open the Wind Fire Star Sand, and at this moment, the gourd suddenly spewed out several fire Spells.

The Profound Spirit Mountain was also blasted away, and the Red-haired Demon Monkey flicked its tail, and in an instant, flames engulfed its entire body, transforming it into a giant fiery monkey.

However, it was surrounded by Lu Changming's High Grade Magical Swords.

The High Grade Magical Swords did not kill the Red-haired Demon Monkey; in Lu Changming's eyes, the Demon Monkey was also his possession.

And at this moment, Lin Shiming, at such a close distance, simply couldn't block it.

In his desperation, Lin Shiming could only release all of his Spirit Devouring Ants, a total of eight hundred Spirit Devouring Ants.

Although these Spirit Devouring Ants were young, each of them possessed the strength of a second-stage Late Stage Yao Beast, and when they matured, absorbing enough spiritual patterns and Spiritual Qi, breaking through to the third stage would not be difficult.

As soon as the Spirit Devouring Ants appeared, they indeed headed towards the Wind Fire Star Sand; when these Spirit Devouring Ants saw the star sand, not only did they not show fear, but they became even more excited, and actually began to devour the Spirit Light covering the surface of the star sand.

Although the sand was powerful and seemed to stretch endlessly, there were only about a thousand star sands, and with eight hundred Spirit Devouring Ants biting at them, the starlight immediately dimmed, and the power of wind and fire greatly decreased.

Lu Changming instantly became furious, and his High Grade gourd spewed out a large amount of flames to incinerate the Spirit Devouring Ants.

The second-stage Spirit Ants were still too fragile and were instantly burned to death in large numbers.

Lin Shiming then took out the remaining Tiangang Sword Formation and the Purple Wood Mysterious Sky Sword Formation, releasing them fiercely towards the High Grade gourd, and the next moment, they all self-destructed.

The Tiangang Sword Formation was fine, but with the self-destruction of the sword array of the Purple Wood Mysterious Sky Sword Formation, Lin Shiming was the first to spit out a mouthful of blood.

And at this moment, the Wind Fire Star Sand was scattered, no longer able to form a combat force.

Lu Changming's face was also extremely grim at this moment; he had never expected that killing a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator would involve so many variables, but fortunately, he still had the High Grade gourd itself, which was also a High Grade Magical Artifact, from which countless flames surged out.

And Lin Shiming also fiercely released countless Spiritual Roots; these were the Spirit-infused Purple Gold Vines that Lin Shiming had planted during the battle.

All the golden spear Spiritual Roots were completely incinerated by the flames, and the final flames fiercely rushed towards Lin Shiming, shattering countless defensive Spirit Talismans and Spirit Shields.

At the critical moment, the Golden Luan Eagle suddenly blocked in front of Lin Shiming, shielding him from most of the flames.

It was burned clean, but the aftershocks still struck Lin Shiming.

Lu Changming finally let out a long sigh of relief at this moment.

But before he could recover, the sound of a Spirit drum rang out.

It fiercely stimulated his mind.

It was the Spirit Shocking Drum.

"It's useless!" Lu Changming said with disdain, and at his neck, a Spirit Talisman that defended against Divine Sense attacks also turned into a talisman paper and dissipated.

However, at this very moment, a dazzling golden light shone.

Sometime, a huge golden scythe-like leg suddenly landed on Lu Changming's forehead.

Lu Changming's face changed drastically, wanting to control the gourd Magical Artifact, but his true essence was insufficient, so he could only throw out several Spirit Talismans, but how could Spirit Talismans block the Jin Chi (Golden Wings) Mantis?

Instantly, he was split in half, and the gourd fell.

Lin Shiming crawled out of the earthen hole, his entire body scorched black, enduring the intense pain, he first used the Demon Binding Pouch to collect the two Spirit Zombies, then collected Lu Changming's Storage Pouch and the discarded Magical Artifacts, then looked at the remaining eighty or so Spirit Devouring Ants, his face filled with heartache.

The Spirit Devouring Ants he had painstakingly obtained were now only eighty or so left; this type of Spirit Ant relied on quantity, and at this moment, he could only wait for the Spirit Ants to mature and then use Demon Enticement Pills to promote their reproduction again.

Then he took out a handful of Azure Lotus seeds, threw them into his mouth, summoned the Jin Chi (Golden Wings) Mantis, and Lin Shiming suddenly lay on its back.

Immediately, the Red-haired Demon Monkey also released flames, burning the entire ground into scorched earth, leaving no other traces of battle.

After doing all this, one monkey and one mantis suddenly ran in the opposite direction.

After running tens of thousands of miles, almost beyond the range of a Purple Mansion Cultivator's Divine Sense, Lin Shiming controlled the Jin Chi (Golden Wings) Mantis to burrow into the ground, and the Red-haired Demon Monkey was put into his spirit beast pouch.

He continued to dive several thousand miles deep before stopping, beginning to consume the Azure Lotus seeds, barely stabilizing his injuries, but the terrifying internal injuries were still erupting; if he hadn't cultivated the Mountain Ape Body Refining Art this time, he would have almost been unable to survive those flames.

But even so, he was now not only depleted of true essence but also suffered countless internal injuries; let alone a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, at this moment, he wouldn't even be a match for a Qi Refining Cultivator.

Lin Shiming didn't think too much, directly holding a High-Grade Spirit Stone and began to recover and heal.

Finally, he retrieved the Azure Lotus Daoist Robe from the Jin Chi (Golden Wings) Mantis, covered his entire body, and began to seclude himself for healing.

What he didn't know was that where he had killed Lu Changming, a Purple Mansion Cultivator stood on the burned scorched earth, his face filled with anger and surprise.

"Damn Demonic Cultivator, to even possess a Heaven and Earth Strange Fire!"

"Lu Changming must have been killed!" The Purple Mansion Cultivator sighed, no longer searching, but looked behind him; Ye Mingqiu and Lin Xianzhi were both there, and besides them, there was also Lin Gang.

Xu Daolai, however, was not there.

At this moment, Lin Gang trembled continuously, then suddenly knelt down, weeping, begging the Purple Mansion Cultivator for mercy.

"Junior Martial Uncle Chen, everything was forced upon me by Senior Brother Xu, I am completely unaware of this matter!" Lin Gang kept saying.

But the so-called Junior Martial Uncle Chen, Daoist Tianling, turned his back with his hands clasped behind him.

Then, he reached out into the Void Realm, and Lin Gang was in Junior Martial Uncle Chen's hand, like grabbing a chick.

"Whether you know or not, I will know once I investigate. Do you think that with the Sect's Jade Slip, I cannot probe your Divine Sense?" Daoist Tianling finished speaking, then took out a purple Spirit Talisman and pressed it to Lin Gang's forehead.

Subsequently, all the scenes were condensed into a Jade Slip.

The next moment, as his hand pressed down fiercely, Lin Gang exploded directly in the Void Realm, turning into minced meat, with blood splattering everywhere.

"We were negligent in guarding the mountain, please forgive us, Junior Martial Uncle Chen!" Almost at the moment of the explosion, Lin Xianzhi and Ye Mingqiu, as well as the few remaining Cultivators, all knelt on the ground, their faces filled with panic.

"This incident is primarily due to Xu Daolai and Lin Gang's deliberate concealment; to secretly possess a High-Grade Spirit Stone Mine is a heinous crime!"

"Although you were unaware, losing the Spirit Stone Mine is also a serious crime. Everyone return to Tianhe Province and fight on the front lines until you kill ten Cultivators of the same stage!"

"Yes, thank you for your forgiveness, Junior Martial Uncle!" Lin Xianzhi and the others all kowtowed again.

"Junior Martial Uncle Chen, I have a request. I also have a Junior, who was the first to discover the Heavenly Demon Sect's Demonic Cultivator attack. I hope Junior Martial Uncle can, for this reason, help investigate his whereabouts!"

"He's probably dead, don't hold out hope. There are no traces of Cultivators for ten thousand miles around. Return to Tianhe Province; I still need to return to Cloud Spirit Mountain to mine the remaining High-Grade Spirit Stones!" Daoist Tianling showed no concern for Lin Shiming, a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator.

Instead, he looked at the High-Grade Spirit Stones with a pained expression; a small High-Grade Spirit Stone Mine would have at least a thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, but within the Spirit Stone Mine, there were now only over two hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones left, and they had been largely destroyed by Golden Corpse and Old Devil Chen and other Foundation Establishment Juniors. If not for him arriving even then, perhaps even the remaining two hundred would be gone.

"Additionally, notify the Tianhe Province front line to fully apprehend Chen Yun and Golden Corpse, these two Demonic Cultivators!"
