43: Specialized in locking and escaping earth beasts

On the nameless mountain, the roars of the Earth Tyrant Bear grew increasingly weak, far from its previous ferocity. Instead, they conveyed a tragic helplessness, as if it were hoarse from exertion.

Its injuries multiplied, and the attacks from Huang Kaili, Huang Kaiyu, and the others became even more vicious!

Every strike was aimed directly at the Earth Tyrant Bear’s wounds.

“Everyone, be careful! This Earth Tyrant Bear is definitely going to launch a desperate counterattack!”

Huang Kaiyu was not impatient; he cautiously reminded the several Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivators.

All Spells and even Magical Artifacts began to focus on encirclement, slowly boiling the frog.

From a distance, after Lin Shiming observed this scene, he turned to signal Lin Shiming and the others to hide, then led Lin Houyong to continue forward.

The opponents were equivalent to at least three Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators. He needed to kill at least one, or even two, to gain control of the situation!

This time, there was no High Grade monkey wine to squander.

He would also not allow the tiger to return to its mountain again.

Lin Shiming, Lin Shijie, and the others did not move again. Instead, they watched the Foundation Establishment Stage battle ahead with some astonishment. The destructive power unleashed with a wave of a hand—this was the strength of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, truly terrifying.

Lin Shiming was still relatively restrained regarding Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators. The battle of a cornered beast wasn't as shocking. Instead, he began to focus on why the Earth Tyrant Bear wasn't retreating.

Where was the Third-Grade Spiritual Vein?

A Second-Grade High Grade Spiritual Vein had an entire Spirit Pool of spirit water, so how could a Third-Grade Spiritual Vein not have spiritual treasures?

This might be the key to his Breakthrough!

“Big Brother, look over there behind us!” Lin Shiming tugged on Lin Shijie’s shoulder, pulling his gaze back from his intense longing.

“Is that the Earth Tyrant Bear’s Immortal Cave?” Lin Shijie was also overjoyed.

About a thousand meters behind the Earth Tyrant Bear, there was a five-meter-high Immortal Cave. Outside the Immortal Cave, a large number of Yao Beast bones were piled up, along with several freshly killed, still bloody Yao Beast provisions.

The inside of the Immortal Cave was pitch black and incredibly deep and long.

Lin Shiming and the others dared not use their Divine Sense to probe, only feeling anxious.

Meanwhile, the battle nearby entered its final, white-hot stage.

Knowing that survival was hopeless, the Earth Tyrant Bear became even more ferocious. Its massive bear body suddenly leaped up, then crashed down like Mount Tai.

Earth-attribute Spiritual Qi furiously condensed in its two bear paws. The foul wind it exhaled and the Spiritual Pressure it emitted caused the Huang Family members to frown tightly and retreat several steps!

“Quick, use every method! This wicked bear is about to die!” Huang Kaili pushed his true essence to its limit. His Third-Grade Magical Artifact, the Golden Shield, instantly grew to over six meters tall and five meters thick, firmly blocking the front.

Huang Kaili then successively unleashed a Third-Grade Medium Grade Flying Sword, a Third-Grade Medium Grade Spirit Ring, and a Third-Grade High Grade Pagoda!

The three great Foundation Establishment Magical Artifacts, gleaming with brilliant Spirit Light, transformed into supreme killing weapons, striking towards the Earth Tyrant Bear.

The remaining Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivators also had veins bulging, fully operating the Formation. It was as if the entire world had turned into a world of Five Elements, with various Spells raging.

Boom!

The earth-shattering sound made Lin Shiming and the others in the distance feel as if their ears would burst.

The entire ground was violently blasted down by several meters.

“Finally, we killed this beast!” Huang Kaiyu breathed a huge sigh of relief. Seeing the Earth Tyrant Bear dead, he felt completely relaxed.

“Careful!” Suddenly, Huang Kaiyu’s brows furrowed tightly again, and he turned to shout a warning.

He clearly sensed something.

But it was already too late!

A massive Azure Lotus Sword, carrying unparalleled sword light and Spiritual Qi...

Puff!

A Third-Grade Low Grade defensive inner armor on Huang Kaili’s body directly shattered and exploded. His entire body was instantly cut in half at the waist.

Huang Kaili didn’t even have time to be alert, nor did any expression appear on his face before Lin Xianzhi instantly killed him with a single sword strike!

The scene was deadly silent!

“Lin Xianzhi, how are you here?!” Huang Kaiyu was utterly shocked to see Huang Kaili’s death, then his anger flared.

He frantically performed hand seals, suspending his three Third-Grade Magical Artifacts around him, preparing to unleash them all at Lin Xianzhi!

The imagined pleasantries did not occur; Lin Xianzhi’s time was clearly very precious!

Another Azure Lotus Sword flew out!

It fiercely slashed towards several Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivators.

“Lin Xianzhi, aren’t you afraid of our Fifth Uncle? Aren’t you afraid of the Li Family?” Huang Kaiyu roared, hoping to make Lin Xianzhi stop.

But the Azure Lotus Sword flew out, with the Azure Lotus Sword Light following.

Wherever it passed, blood bloomed!

Those several Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivators, having almost exhausted all their Spiritual Qi in their final attack and unable to replenish it in time, four of them died instantly!

The remaining two suddenly pressed a spirit talisman and actually escaped by burrowing into the ground!

They barely dodged the attack!

Two streaks of escape light, one left and one right, fled by burrowing into the ground in different directions. Lin Houyong, who was behind them, immediately rushed out, chasing after one of the Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivators.

Lin Xianzhi wanted to kill the remaining one, but unexpectedly, Huang Kaiyu’s three great Magical Artifacts also slammed towards him at this moment.

Forcing him to stop and block with his sword.

After three sword strikes, the old strength was gone, and new strength had not yet emerged.

Lin Xianzhi finally spoke:

“Noisy!”

“You!!!”

Huang Kaiyu was so angry he almost spat blood. They were both Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivators, so why could Lin Xianzhi disregard him?

And why did Lin Xianzhi not dare to act last time, but dared to this time?

The two resumed their battle. Unlike before, although Lin Xianzhi had recovered his cultivation, without High Grade monkey wine for replenishment, facing Huang Kaiyu, who possessed three Third-Grade Medium Grade or higher Magical Artifacts, he no longer had the absolute crushing advantage he had before.

But he still suppressed Lin Xianzhi with every sword strike.

Lin Shijie and Lin Shimo watched in fascination; Foundation Establishment Cultivators were truly terrifying!

Lin Shiming, beside them, looked with some worry at the remaining Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivator who had escaped.

“No, he’s going to play a trick under the lamp!” The battle had already begun, and Lin Shiming no longer needed to hide his identity or restrain his Divine Sense.

Once he unleashed it, good heavens, the remaining Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivator was actually rushing towards the Earth Tyrant Bear’s Immortal Cave!

Lin Shiming was shocked by the boldness of this Cultivator!

The Huang Family’s Foundation Establishment was already dangerous, yet he was still playing with fire, attempting to steal treasures under the nose of danger!

“Big Brother, go to the bear’s den, someone is stealing treasures!” Lin Shiming naturally dared not go alone. He knew his current strength could at most exert five layers, and releasing Serpent Vine Flower was even more impossible.

“What?!” Lin Shijie exclaimed in surprise, and at the same time, instantly became furious!

At a time like this, someone was actually trying to snatch the fruits of their labor!

After calling out to Lin Shimo, the three of them simultaneously flew on their Flying Swords towards the Immortal Cave.

Because the distance was relatively short, the few quickly rushed to the side of the bear’s den!

Upon reaching the Immortal Cave, the three immediately felt a thick smell of blood, followed by extremely rich Spiritual Qi, causing them to instantly take a deep breath.

A Third-Grade Low Grade Spiritual Vein was undoubtedly here, and only a Third-Grade Medium Grade Earth Tyrant Bear like this could occupy a Third-Grade Low Grade Spiritual Vein.

The treasures of that Third-Grade Spiritual Vein were naturally also extremely precious!

“Big Brother, we need to find a way to restrict his burrowing!” Lin Shiming said with a frown.

“Don’t worry, earlier it was because Seventh Grand Uncle wasn’t prepared!” Lin Shijie said confidently, then took out several Formation Flags from his Storage Pouch.

“These are?”

“Earth Locking Formation, specifically to prevent some relatively rare burrowing Spirit Beasts from escaping!”
