255: Chapter 255 The Battle Begins

The living beings in the entire district became restless; not only those human Cultivators, but the Yao Beasts were also restless.

In the Central Continent, human Cultivators generally would not attack others for no reason, but it was different among the Yao Beasts in the Southern Domain. Here, the jungle Law of the weak preying on the strong was practiced, and slaughter among Yao Beasts was the most normal thing.

Thus, the Yao Beasts in the outside world began to flee one after another, and a beast tide affecting more than half of the Southern Domain was forming.

"What is going on?!!"

Some Cultivators whose Divine Thought range was not that far had not yet realized what had happened, while some people had already started running away, complaining as they ran.

"I knew that sinkhole was not simple!"

"Are these Yao Beasts heading for that Lin Qing?"

The sinkhole with a diameter of five hundred miles lay on the ground, and naturally many people had noticed it, but Divine Thought was blocked inside the sinkhole, so they did not dare to rashly go in to investigate.

Of course, perhaps someone had gone in, and even entered the Secret Realm, but there was a high probability they could not come back, so the information inside the sinkhole was not known to the world.

"Lin Qing! What trouble have you caused again?"

Luo Xues Mother questioned angrily; she was only at Level 11 Late Stage, and among that group of Yao Beasts, there were four of Level 11 Peak, not to mention other Middle Stages and Late Stages. If this group of Yao Beasts also targeted her, she would definitely not survive today.

Lin Qing couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her. In the current situation, even he had to show a little bit of real substance.

The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth began to frantically converge towards Lin Qing; wild winds howled, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and a ten-thousand-zhang dharma image rose from the ground, with the dharma image also exuding a faint black mist.

Grand Aunt-Master Qing Yao and the other four were protected by Lin Qing within his own dharma image's body, and at this moment they were standing together with him at the chest of the dharma image. Then Lin Qing sent a voice transmission to Zhang Wang and Hua You in the distance:

"You guys come over too."

Zhang Wang and the other person had naturally been within Lin Qing's Divine Thought range all along. Their previous attempt to come and help had already been seen by Lin Qing, and after learning of Lin Qing's identity, they only slightly showed some surprise at it, but their intention to come and help had not changed.

As for how Lin Qing knew, of course it was because he had Words Become Law, and one of the moves was called Telepathy.

His Telepathy was just a Spell, not that famous Divine Ability. It could not read others' specific thoughts, for example Lin Qing could not read how Luo Xues Mother confirmed his identity.

It could only read others' emotions, such as whether the other party harbored killing intent, whether they were lying, and so on. It was enough to judge whether Zhang Wang and the other person were sincere.

"How is it possible for your dharma image to be this big?!!"

Lu Xue's suitor was still making a noise, and as usual he failed to recognize the situation. Didn't he see that Luo Xues Mother had already stopped speaking the moment Lin Qing summoned his dharma image?

Lin Qing could not be bothered to deal with these two people anymore. The huge dharma image turned its head to look down at them, then extended its right hand, pressing down toward the two of them.

The two hurriedly summoned their own dharma images. The man's dharma image was only two thousand zhang tall, while Luo Xues Mother's dharma image, like the previous City Master of Qingai City, was as tall as seven thousand zhang.

Unfortunately, seven thousand zhang was still a shorty in front of Lin Qing. With a single palm strike from Lin Qing, the two could not resist at all. Their dharma images began to shatter inch by inch, and Luo Xues Mother was still roaring angrily before her death.

"Lin Qing, Qianbao Mysterious Palace will not let you go!"

"Hmph, as if it would have let me go before."

Lin Qing let out a cold hum, put away the Storage Ring of the two, and then turned around, taking the initiative to meet those Level 11 Yao Beasts. On the way, he also conveniently brought Zhang Wang and the other person into his dharma image.

There were a total of twelve Level 11 Yao Beasts attacking, among which four were at Peak, but what Lin Qing cared about the most was not them, but a Level 11 Late Stage Yao Beast—that was precisely the other kind of Yao Beast Lin Qing lacked, the Mist-Ridge Fang.

Although he had now obtained the Qingyan Beast horn, the Lanwen Tapir molt belonging to the same set of Formation was not found. If he could hunt this Mist-Ridge Fang, he could also successfully set up a Level 12 Formation.

Rushing at the very front were naturally four Level 11 Peak Yao Beasts, leaving those with slightly lower Realms behind by a huge margin. However, even among Yao Beasts of the same Realm, there would be some subtle speed differences due to different types.

The first to arrive was an eagle-type flying Yao Beast, its entire body covered in crimson flames. If looking only at weight, it might be the lightest, but its wingspan reached a full eighty thousand zhang.

After approaching Lin Qing, its wings danced wildly in the air, and clusters of fireballs over a thousand zhang in size smashed toward Lin Qing's direction. At the same time, its claws extended forward, grabbing at Lin Qing in a hunting posture.

Under Lin Qing's control, a stream of blue water rotated around the dharma image, forming a layer of water curtain. The fireballs smashed onto the water curtain and instantly extinguished, and then a large amount of water mist was stirred up at the place where the water curtain was attacked. In just a short moment, the battlefield was covered by dense fog.

Fortunately, this layer of water mist did not have the effect of blocking Divine Thought. Everyone inside the dharma image, as well as those Cultivators outside who gave up escaping, could still clearly observe the battlefield.

When the eagle-type Yao Beast's claws were about to reach him, Lin Qing's dharma image laterally shifted one step to the side at a speed exceeding the sensing of Cultivators below Level 11. Then he extended his right hand, grabbing one of the eagle-type Yao Beast's wings, his five fingers suddenly tightened, and purple thunder instantly filled the entire body of the eagle-type Yao Beast.

"Screech——!"

The eagle-type Yao Beast let out a painful screech, and the dharma image took another step forward, its left hand reaching out to grab the wing on the other side of the Yao Beast. Lin Qing intended to tear this Yao Beast apart directly.

Just as the eagle-type Yao Beast was in imminent danger, a figure pierced through the water mist and entered the battlefield. Lin Qing furrowed his brows slightly. Naturally, he had been paying attention to the other three Yao Beasts all along. Logically speaking, he had time to tear this eagle-type Yao Beast apart, but he didn't expect that the opponent had actually concealed its real speed just now, wanting to catch him off guard.

That was an emerald-green deer-type Yao Beast, which now proved to be equally adept at speed. After piercing through the fog, the spiral-shaped long horn on its head stabbed toward Lin Qing's right hand.

Lin Qing also noticed that thick vines were rising from the ground, crawling onto the feet of Lin Qing's dharma image, trying to bind the dharma image in place.

Lin Qing abandoned the idea of tearing the eagle-type Yao Beast apart with his bare hands. Although Lin Qing's current base stats were just at the level of Level 11 Peak, even fighting four against one, he had absolute confidence in winning, so there was no need to adopt that kind of trading injury for life playstyle.

The dharma image grabbed the eagle-type Yao Beast in its hand and smashed it toward the head of the deer-type Yao Beast. At the same time, its feet stepped back a few steps, avoiding the vines on the ground, and the two opposing Yao Beasts rolled into a ball together for a moment.

The two opposing sides separated, and the other two Yao Beasts were also almost about to arrive. Lin Qing and them formed a brief confrontation stance once again.

Just at this moment, a voice sounded from afar.

"So your name is Lin Qing, I have come to help you!"

It was that White Giant Wolf.
