Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 1276 - 664: The Powerful Lin Tianming

After all, the offensive and defensive abilities of the Earth Fiend Sword Formation, along with its enemy-trapping effects, need no further elaboration.

Before this, Lin Tianming had never encountered an opponent worthy of his full attention. Even when he consecutively faced Xie Changyang and Li Wenhai, he had refrained from using the Earth Fiend Sword Formation as a divine skill.

In his view, conventional methods were enough to deal with his opponents, leaving no need to expose such a trump card like the Earth Fiend Sword Formation.

More importantly, setting up the Earth Fiend Sword Formation, which focuses primarily on trapping the enemy, requires a certain amount of time.

When deploying the Earth Fiend Sword Formation, he needed to wait for the perfect moment.

Under normal circumstances, he would use other tactics to distract his opponent’s attention, creating the opportunity to set up the sword formation.

Otherwise, even just one or two breaths of time to establish the Earth Fiend Sword Formation would be enough for a cultivator of the same rank to evade it.

Moreover, the Earth Fiend Sword Formation, being an area-wide enemy-trapping technique, is something any enemy would naturally fear.

Therefore, this method is not easily revealed, lest it exposes a technique capable of altering the course of battle.

For this reason, Lin Tianming had rarely used it before.

Now, for him to once again deploy the Earth Fiend Sword Formation, it was because he was wary of Yang Yinghai’s strength.

Beyond that, he was also acting out of a killing intent, hoping to seize this opportunity to eliminate Yang Yinghai, this formidable adversary, in one decisive blow.

If he succeeded in his goal, the losses to the four major forces, including the Yuanchen Sect, would be significant.

It should be noted that a seasoned Golden Core expert like Yang Yinghai could single-handedly raise the overall strength of the four factions considerably.

But losing even one such expert would undoubtedly come at an immense cost to these factions.

In this light, Lin Tianming acted with great decisiveness at this moment.

With a barrage of spell incantations cast, streams of spiritual light struck the Earth Evil Sword.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

Amid a peculiar sound, the seventy-two Earth Evil Swords began spinning madly, ultimately forming cascading sword shadows that swiftly vanished into the sky.

This all happened extremely quickly, completed in the blink of an eye.

Just breaths prior, as Yang Yinghai was preoccupied with countering the devastating waves of Sword Qi unleashed by Lin Tianming, he had already noticed Lin Tianming’s subsequent movements.

When he saw seventy-two treasure-grade longswords materialize, his heart sank with a sense of foreboding.

After all, the appearance of so many treasure swords clearly indicated they were part of a set, typically accompanied by corresponding secret techniques or divine skills.

Having cultivated for centuries and being a member of the Tianqing Sect—a sect with a legacy spanning tens of thousands of years—his insight and experience were beyond doubt.

At this moment, he realized that Lin Tianming was about to unleash a powerful divine skill or an integrated secret technique.

Should Lin Tianming succeed, his own position would become perilous.

Fully aware of this, Yang Yinghai chose to hastily retreat the moment Lin Tianming’s actions became apparent, aiming to seek a safer position and widen the distance between them.

However, despite his rapid retreat, Lin Tianming moved even faster.

Furthermore, the Earth Evil Swords scattered at shocking speed, covering a vast area, and just as Yang Yinghai was on the verge of escaping the boundary of the formation, he was ensnared.

In that instant, as Lin Tianming sent forth a series of spell incantations, beams of light illuminated the heavens.

Soon after, a barrier appeared out of thin air in midair, densely filled with wandering Sword Qi, moving aimlessly within.

At this very moment, Yang Yinghai sensed the shift in the battlefield, coupled with an intangible pressure descending from above, causing his expression to change dramatically.

Nevertheless, despite the initial astonishment, Yang Yinghai quickly regained composure.

He understood that Lin Tianming’s divine skill was primarily a method of entrapment.

Confronted with such a predicament, his priority was to break free from the restraints and escape the range of the sword formation.

Moreover, for such a technique to become maximally effective, it would need to reduce its range, increasing the binding force and oppressive power.

In its current form, while Lin Tianming’s skill posed some trouble, it was not yet enough to threaten his life.

With this understanding, Yang Yinghai remained calm and responded immediately by unleashing a torrent of attacks at one section of the sword array barricade.

At the same time, Lin Tianming observed Yang Yinghai’s counteractions and immediately discerned his strategy.

With his wealth of experience, Lin Tianming naturally wouldn’t let Yang Yinghai succeed so easily.

After all, the Earth Fiend Sword Formation was his crucial means of binding Yang Yinghai, painstakingly executed.

If he intended to kill Yang Yinghai, he absolutely needed the Earth Fiend Sword Formation’s power.

Otherwise, considering Yang Yinghai’s prowess and experience, achieving this goal would be exceedingly difficult.

Although Lin Tianming had always been confident in his strength, Yang Yinghai, known for his years of dominance in the Jinfeng Nation, undoubtedly possessed unique traits and commanding power that inspired fear.

For this reason, as Yang Yinghai launched his attack, Lin Tianming immediately sprang into action.

In that moment, Lin Tianming unleashed the Tiangang Ninth Sword divine skill once again, attacking from an incredibly tricky angle to block Yang Yinghai’s path of assault.

His execution was lightning-fast, accomplished in an instant.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

As the resonant clanging of swords echoed, the Tiangang Sword and Yang Yinghai’s unleashed attacks clashed head-on.

In the blink of an eye, deafening explosions rang out, followed by beams of light shooting into the sky, filling the entire interior of the sword formation almost instantly.
