Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 1278 - 665: Yang Yinghai’s Helplessness

At that moment, as Lin Tianming looked toward Yang Yinghai, his expression carried a trace of apprehension.

On the other hand, Yang Yinghai’s steadfast demeanor revealed a hint of fear, and his inner trepidation exceeded that of Lin Tianming.

After several rounds of attack and defense, both men had gained a better understanding of each other’s strength.

Especially Yang Yinghai, who had finally come to realize Lin Tianming’s tenacity.

Standing in his shoes, Yang Yinghai had to admit that Lin Tianming’s power was exceptionally formidable—unquestionably strong.

This kind of opponent was one he had never encountered before.

Before now, apart from Song Xin of the Yuanchen Sect and Liang Shaoping of the Liang Family, this level of pressure was entirely foreign to him.

In fact, the pressure Lin Tianming exerted on him surpassed even that of Song Xin and Liang Shaoping.

Such an appraisal was genuinely from the depths of his heart.

Yet at this moment, despite his wariness toward Lin Tianming, Yang Yinghai had no choice but to brace himself and face the challenge head on given the current situation.

After all, he was ensnared within Lin Tianming’s sword array, constantly under Lin Tianming’s watchful gaze, which left him no room to breathe nor any chance to escape smoothly.

Under such circumstances, even if Yang Yinghai preferred not to confront Lin Tianming, he was forced to go all out to seize some opportunities.

Otherwise, if he disregarded his sectmates and the other factions here to flee on his own, not to mention whether he could escape successfully, the reputation of the Tianqing Sect’s strongest fighter would not allow such disgrace. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Furthermore, after years of cultivation, his strength had now reached the peak of the Golden Core level.

Facing a powerhouse like Lin Tianming, he wasn’t left entirely without options.

If he risked his life to engage Lin Tianming in a full-blown fight, the outcome would still be uncertain.

Understanding this, Yang Yinghai pushed aside his inner fear and began an active assault, seeking a chance to break through the sword array.

In that instant, Yang Yinghai suddenly turned sideways and burst into action, immediately summoning a torrent of Sword Qi that coalesced into an Ice Spear, hurtling toward the sword array barricade on his left.

By now, Yang Yinghai was acutely aware of the threats posed by the sword array and understood that time could not be wasted.

However, Lin Tianming stood firmly in his path, giving him no chance to attack the barricade directly ahead.

If Yang Yinghai attempted to strike the sword array barricade behind him, he would expose his back to Lin Tianming.

Such a move was highly perilous for a Golden Core cultivator.

Especially when faced with Lin Tianming—a battle-hardened opponent with overwhelming strength.

Thus, Yang Yinghai chose to launch a side-strike attack, avoiding easy openings and ensuring he could target the barricade immediately.

At the very moment Yang Yinghai initiated his attack, Lin Tianming caught onto his intentions.

As Yang Yinghai’s move unfolded, Lin Tianming swiftly tossed his Tiangang Sword forward, forming a hand seal that sent bursts of Spiritual Light pulsing through the Tiangang Sword body.

In the blink of an eye, the Tiangang Sword gleamed and erupted with Sword Qi, which transformed into a massive dragon, shooting toward Yang Yinghai with lightning speed.

The dragon surged so quickly that in less than a fleeting moment, it traversed a hundred feet and closed in on Yang Yinghai.

Yang Yinghai now faced a dire predicament: if he continued attacking the sword array barricade, he would have to confront Lin Tianming’s Tiangang Sword.

Yet abandoning his assault on the sword array would leave him stuck, effectively ensuring Lin Tianming would restrain him, making it nearly impossible to break free of the array’s confinement.

Adding to his woes, the sword array’s enclosure had been steadily contracting since its activation—never ceasing to tighten its grip.

If left unchecked, the shrinking array would intensify the pressure on Yang Yinghai, eventually suppressing him fully and leaving him to be gradually eroded to death.

In essence, Yang Yinghai found himself utterly trapped in a dilemma.

Even fully aware of the situation, Yang Yinghai had no viable strategy to overcome it.

After hesitating for just a brief instant, Yang Yinghai ultimately decided to shift his stance and focus first on defending against Lin Tianming’s attack.

After all, recklessly attacking the sword array barricade would mean clashing head-on with Lin Tianming’s Tiangang Sword.

Yang Yinghai was well aware of the potency of Lin Tianming’s ability.

To make matters worse, these events were unfolding within the sword array, where its constant oppressive influence significantly slowed his movements.

In such conditions, Yang Yinghai found countering Lin Tianming’s assaults markedly harder than he would outside the array.

With this in mind, Yang Yinghai became decisively resolute and maneuvered swiftly as Lin Tianming’s Tiangang Sword bore down on him.

At the same time, Yang Yinghai began wildly swinging his Treasure Sword, instantly unleashing torrents of Sword Qi to meet Lin Tianming’s charging Tiangang Sword head-on.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The two attacks violently collided, triggering a series of deafening explosions.

Immediately, dazzling streaks of light flashed within the Earth Fiend Sword Formation.

In that split second, a scene of raging wind, flying sand, and gravel enveloped the air, accompanied by wave after wave of energy crashing outward in all directions.

During this tumultuous moment, Lin Tianming also bore the brunt of the impact.

Despite his robustness, even Lin Tianming’s formidable body struggled to endure such a force.

The blast hurled Lin Tianming backward in midair.

Still airborne, his Qi-Blood churned wildly within, causing his complexion to visibly pale.
