Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Begging for mercy?
At the eastern city gate, Lin Shiming steered his Spirit Boat through the skies, and since he had one of the earlier batches of Foundation Establishment Pills, no one had caught up to him yet.
He stood at the very front of the Spirit Boat, just as his seventh great-uncle had done before.
He let the wild wind blow, letting his long hair fly behind him!
His Divine Sense stretched far and wide, at this moment, every rustle of grass and whisper of the wind over the vast land was within his sights.
But the next moment, he saw a Spirit Boat in the distance, flying towards him at an incredibly fast speed.
Lin Shiming's gaze immediately turned cold, and his body burst with Spirit Light.
He also steered the Spirit Boat with all his might.
"Elder uncle, get ready, there is danger!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuzheng and Lin Houwei, among others, were also taken aback and quickly took out their Magic Artifacts, standing on the deck of the Spirit Boat, ready to attack at any moment!
"Fellow Daoist, why the rush? We have some fortune we'd like to share with you!" Seeing Lin Shiming speeding up, the bearded cultivator couldn't help but transmit his voice to him.
His demeanor and tone were quite amiable.
To an outsider, it might even seem like old acquaintances meeting.
But Lin Shiming was not some greenhorn fresh to the world.
The Spirit Boat's speed increased even more.
However, what worried Lin Shiming was that his Spirit Boat was merely an Intermediate Grade Third Rank Spirit Boat, while the other's was a Superior Grade Third Rank Spirit Boat.
He simply couldn't match the other's speed.
What was even more troubling was that with a Superior Grade Third Rank Spirit Boat, there would definitely be Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, or even Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators on board.
This was precisely what Lin Shiming was extremely concerned about; Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators he could still fend off a little bit, but Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, those beings were old foxes of unknown ages.
They had numerous tactics, strong magic power, and were also treacherous!
Lin Shiming continuously extended his Divine Sense to probe, but the other Spirit Boats clearly had formations protecting them, and he couldn't discern the cultivation levels of the cultivators on the other boat at all!
"Prepare to pick a place for the final battle!" Lin Shiming spoke and then took out a Storage Bag, throwing it to Lin Yuzheng.
Without knowing the cultivation levels of the other party, he could only prepare for the worst.
Escape was still impossible, he could only choose to fight on the ground, with his Purple Gold Vine and the Golden Winged Mantis he still had the power to fight.
In the Storage Bag were Foundation Establishment Pills, and if they couldn't win, Lin Yuzheng would have to depend on those pills and the Earth Escape Talisman to flee.
Lin Shiming chose a small mountain and dove right into it; the man in the blue robe behind him was pleased. Though he was bound to catch up sooner or later, continuously chasing not only wasted time but also risked potential complications.
After Lin Shiming landed, he took out a set of Array Plates, exactly the Third Rank Trinary Profound Spirit Formation.
The Trinary Profound Spirit Formation was of Early Stage Third Rank, and Lin Yuzheng, Lin Houwei, and Lin Houxuan, with their Qi Cultivation Ninth Level, could barely use it.
He wasn't expecting them to control the formation and kill the enemy; as long as it could stall for a while, it might create some opportunities.
And almost as soon as the Trinary Profound Spirit Formation was set up, the four people in blue robes had already rushed over.
First, a massive Profound Spirit Mountain appeared in the sky, which then magnified and turned into a colossal mountain over a hundred zhang tall, bearing down ferociously.
The weight of this Profound Spirit Mountain was incredibly terrifying, and the effect it had on formations was surprisingly special.
As it pressed down, it was feared that the Trinary Profound Spirit Formation wouldn't even have a chance to demonstrate its power before being crushed.
"Dang dang dang!"
Yet at the next moment, Lin Shiming's nine Formation Swords suddenly flew out, forming a circular Sword Array, forcefully blocking the Profound Spirit Mountain!
Meanwhile, the other two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, one controlling a Spirit Sword following behind, and the last one in the blue robe driving a Spirit Drum, fiercely began to strike it!
As the drum sounded, a strange ripple spread through the air like ripples on a lake surface!
Lin Shiming only felt his head spinning fiercely!
His spirit power was instantly shattered!
The Purple Wood Profound Heavenly Sword Formation dispersed, and Profound Spirit Mountain smashed down upon them. Lin Houwei and the others fared even worse; the Trinary Profound Spirit Formation was directly shattered, and all three of them spat out blood simultaneously!
Fortunately, in the final moment, Lin Shiming came to his senses and released the Purple Gold Vine.
He bound all four of them, including himself, and then pulled them back hundreds of meters.
In their original spot, Profound Spirit Mountain had smashed out a pit over ten meters deep.
And it wasn't over; the three assailants coordinated and attacked once again.
It was only now that Lin Shiming realized the cultivation levels of the four; the man in blue robes and the middle-aged man with big ears were both at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, with the former even at the peak and not far from advancing to the later stage. Little Mustache was as he had perceived before, at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.
Relieved at this, he breathed a sigh of relief, for there was no one at the Foundation Establishment later stage.
But the situation remained grim, as the man in blue robes had a drum that targeted spiritual power directly.
Chapter Find:
The three obviously had a long history of collaboration. The middle-aged cultivator controlled the Profound Spirit Mountain, constantly smashing it towards them. In the process, he also unleashed three Inferior Grade Third Rank Flying Swords, while the man in blue robes, aside from the Spirit Drum, had also drawn an Intermediate Grade Third Rank Flying Sword.
Even Little Mustache had two Intermediate Grade Third Rank Flying Swords, and the three of them attacked Lin Shiming almost simultaneously.
"Rise!" Lin Shiming released the Purple Gold Vine he had prepared earlier, and instantly, the sky was filled with purple vines.
He closed in on the three assailants with the vines.
The three immediately retreated, controlling their Flying Swords to slice through the purple vines, causing countless vines to fall like rain.
As soon as the vines dispersed, Profound Spirit Mountain smashed down towards Lin Shiming again, followed by the man in blue robes beating that Spirit Drum!
"Tighten your Divine Sense, close off your hearing!" Lin Shiming quickly reminded the others.
The other three hurriedly did so, but this also caused Lin Shiming to lose control of the vines for a moment, and they had no choice but to keep retreating.
This played right into the hands of the man in blue robes and his two companions. Sooner or later, the Spirit Swords and Profound Spirit Mountain were bound to hit Lin Shiming.
Especially the Profound Spirit Mountain—if it landed, there was no chance of survival!
However, at the next moment, a dazzling golden light surged forward, blindingly bright.
The three assailants were also stunned. They had no weapons that emitted such golden light, but in the next moment, they saw a flurry of golden light descending upon them.
Then the middle-aged cultivator's head soared high into the air, and Profound Spirit Mountain lost control and fell to the ground as well.
Only then did the group see the appearance of the Golden Winged Mantis, and they were extremely horrified.
The man in blue robes even started to plead repeatedly,
"Fellow Daoist, there is a misunderstanding; this old man only wanted to explore the Secret Realm with you!"
The old man repeatedly grinned and pleaded, while Little Mustache quickly grasped the situation, knowing that without Profound Spirit Mountain, they stood no chance against Lin Shiming.
Lin Shiming himself was also in a daze; this was his first encounter with Foundation Establishment cultivators begging for mercy, but was begging really useful?
But in the next moment, to his horror, he felt an array of invisible silk threads shooting towards him.
The following instant, the Kuimu Shield directly shielded him, yet terrifyingly, it split in half, and the white strands of silk kept shooting towards his head.
The speed was extremely fast, and the terror was overwhelming.
At this time, the cultivator in blue robes started beating the drum once more!
With the sound of the drum, not only was Lin Shiming greatly affected, but the Golden Winged Mantis also emitted a piercing shriek, in extreme agony!
