227: Chapter 227 Fighting the Green Ox

Looking at the beast tide that had already arrived within less than ten miles of Zhenyao Pass, Chen Lingge immediately made a Move, his Magical Artifact being a set of long halberds, numbering three in total.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He manipulated the three long halberds to slash toward the beast tide, and in an instant, dozens of Tier 1 Yao Beasts were killed.

Inside Zhenyao Pass, those Qi Refining Cultivators looked at Chen Lingge with yearning in their hearts.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, Senior Chen truly lives up to being from the Chen Family; his strength is actually this powerful," a Cultivator standing beside Chen Liyan flattered.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu flatters me. Not to mention how strong my Twelfth Uncle is in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but eliminating some Tier 1 Yao Beasts is as easy as pie for him," Chen Liyan said modestly yet proudly.

His age was not much younger than Chen Lingge's, but the gap in their talent was not small. Therefore, cultivating until now, Chen Liyan was still only at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining. If he could not achieve Foundation Establishment within a few years, his future hopes would not be great.

Do not look at how respected the Chen Family's Cultivators were throughout the entire Taihe Prefecture; in reality, internal competition was also extremely fierce. The Family's foundation establishment pills were frequently insufficient to distribute, causing some clan members who had already reached the Perfection of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining to ultimately miss out on Foundation Establishment because they lacked a foundation establishment pill.

Of course, it was not that no one tried to attempt a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment without using a foundation establishment pill, but the probability was simply too low; it would be good if one or two out of ten succeeded.

Over the years, even among the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Chen Family, there were only a few who successfully achieved a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment without relying on a foundation establishment pill.

However, either their talent was too high, or their willpower was too firm. These two points were completely beyond what ordinary Cultivators could achieve.

Among those Cultivators who successfully achieved a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment without a foundation establishment pill, Chen Lingge was prominently among them, belonging to that kind of Cultivator with firm willpower.

Furthermore, precisely because he relied on his willpower to achieve a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, it led to him being received by the Family's Old Ancestor Chen Changqing, who even specially refined that set of Black Flood Dragon Halberd Magical Artifacts for him.

Not to mention that set of Magical Artifacts, just being able to see the Old Ancestor was already the greatest honor for a Chen Family member.

Chen Liyan continued to observe Chen Lingge.

Deep within the beast tide, every Move of Chen Lingge took away the lives of quite a few Tier 1 Yao Beasts. His large-scale slaughter of these low-tier Yao Beasts ultimately provoked the hostility of the Tier 2 Monster Beasts within the beast tide.

A green bull monster galloped out from the beast tide, attacking Chen Lingge.

Seeing this, Chen Lingge thought to himself, "You've come at just the right time!"

With both hands forming incantation gestures, he manipulated the three Black Flood Dragon Halberds to attack the green bull monster.

A trace of human-like mockery flashed through the green bull monster's gaze. "A mere human, do you think you can injure this old bull's Physical Body?"

Boom!

The three Black Flood Dragon Halberds simultaneously chopped toward the green bull monster.

Clang!

When the Black Flood Dragon Halberds touched the green bull monster's Physical Body, not only did they fail to split open the green bull monster, but instead they bounced back after a wave of vibration.

The mockery in the green bull monster's eyes grew even more intense.

Seeing this, Chen Lingge was not surprised that the green bull monster could block his Black Flood Dragon Halberds.

In the rear, after those Qi Refining Cultivators saw that all of Chen Lingge's attacks were useless, fear and panic instantly arose in their hearts, fearing that Chen Lingge would not be able to block the green bull monster.

If Chen Lingge could not take down the green bull monster before him, then needless to say for these Qi Refining Cultivators, not to mention that behind this beast tide, there were still several Tier 2 Monster Beasts looking on.

Chen Lingge raised the three Black Flood Dragon Halberds. He no longer continued to frantically attack that green bull monster; just now he had only made a tentative Move, and direct chopping was not even the usage method of this set of Magical Artifacts.

He operated his Cultivation Technique with all his might, his magic power wandering everywhere within his body. The surrounding Spiritual Qi continuously converged into the Black Flood Dragon Halberds. In the blink of an eye, the three Black Flood Dragon Halberds continuously grew larger, reaching ten times their previous size in just a moment.

Chen Lingge urged the Black Flood Dragon Halberds with all his might, and the three long halberds chopped straight down at the green bull monster's head.

Boom!

Smoke and dust scattered and flew about under this strike.

After the smoke and dust completely dispersed, a large crater tens of zhang in circumference was battered out at the location where that green bull monster was.

Inside the pit, blood continuously overflowed. That green bull monster's Physical Body was almost shattered to pieces under Chen Lingge's strike. Do not look at how its Physical Body now only had three long wounds; in truth, if its defense hadn't Innately surpassed other Tier 2 Monster Beasts, it would have died under that very strike just now.

"Roar!" The roar of the green bull monster rang out, and turning its head, it retreated back.

Seeing this, those low-tier Yao Beasts also stopped one after another. However, after just a moment, several more roars of Yao Beasts sounded from the rear, and only then did these low-tier Yao Beasts launch their attacks anew.

Seeing this, Chen Lingge retreated from the front. Do not look at how formidable this strike's power was; nonetheless, the consumption of his magic power was not small either. As for why he displayed such a Move right at the start of the battle, it was mainly to boost morale.

Sure enough, after he defeated that green bull monster, the morale of Zhenyao Pass abruptly turned from declining to high-spirited.

"Brother Chen, this strike of yours is truly extraordinary," Zhou Yuanlang praised.

"Brother Zhou, this humble one will go back to rest first. I'll have to trouble you with this place for now," Chen Lingge shook his head and explained.

Zhou Yuanlang watched him leave, then began organizing personnel to resist the beast tide.

Several days later, the reinforcements from Qinghe County arrived successively.

Furthermore, three Foundation Establishment Cultivators arrived at the same time, who were respectively Chen Lingxi, Liu Waya, and Chen Xiao.

Aside from Chen Lingxi being at the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment cultivation, the other two were both at the First Layer of Foundation Establishment. However, the Qinghe Alliance was not sending just the three of them for reinforcement.

After some time, others would arrive.

After all, facing a beast tide, having a few Cultivators who had stepped into Foundation Establishment not long ago come was truly not quite enough.

"Sister Lingxi," seeing Chen Lingxi, Zhou Yuanlang immediately stepped forward to greet her.

Chen Lingxi nodded and inquired about the current situation.

Zhou Yuanlang truthfully informed her, with hidden affection lurking in his eyes. Chen Lingtong could see it, but she did not care. Within Qinghe County, regardless of talent, her temperament and appearance alone were enough to rank first; it was just that she did not care much about these matters between men and women.

And those people who admired her only dared to hide their feelings; after all, the gap between the two sides was far, far too great.

Even if Zhou Yuanlang had stepped into the Foundation Establishment Stage, he did not dare to have improper thoughts. Do not look at how both sides were Foundation Establishment Cultivators; Chen Lingxi had already stepped into the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment for many years, even though the age gap between the two sides was only three years.

Of course, the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment was news released by the Chen Family, because Chen Lingxi's advancement was too god-like and rapid, almost catching up to Chen Changqing.

"Lingxi, I will make a tentative Move first," beside them, Chen Xiao, whose temperament and appearance were both relatively ordinary, said.

"Sister Xiao, be careful," Chen Lingxi reminded.

Chen Xiao nodded.

Inside Zhenyao Pass, a woman in plain clothes lifted her sword and soared into the air, slashing down with a single sword that instantly tore apart dozens of Tier 1 Yao Beasts.

All the Qi Refining Cultivators looked at that ordinary figure, watching the other party in shock.

Outside the pass, a large number of low-tier Yao Beasts were still endlessly charging and killing over.

A Tier 2 Monster Beast also made a Move immediately, attacking Chen Xiao. Seeing this, Liu Waya left the city wall in a few steps, dealing with that Tier 2 Monster Beast together with Chen Xiao.
