Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 1299 - 675 Planning_2

Fortunately, the distance between both sides in this fight was relatively far, coupled with Lin Tianming’s more thorough preparation, so he wasn’t affected by this wave of shock.

On the other hand, Song Xin’s strength was naturally formidable; he handled the situation earlier effortlessly, and now countering another move was even easier for him.

When the commotion subsided, the sky that had been illuminated by firelight returned to its original state.

At that moment, Song Xin immediately began searching for Lin Tianming’s figure.

In his line of sight, the first place he looked was toward the direction where Lin Tianming had just been.

After carefully surveying, Lin Tianming’s figure was completely absent, as though he had disappeared into thin air.

However, Song Xin’s divine sense was equally strong, and he quickly discovered Lin Tianming’s presence in a certain direction.

At this moment, Lin Tianming’s position had shifted several dozen zhang away compared to earlier.

The previous strike came swiftly and ended just as quickly.

Seeing Lin Tianming’s elusive movements, Song Xin couldn’t help but feel somewhat surprised and astonished.

Yet, with his vast experience, Song Xin knew that cultivators like Lin Tianming, gifted and powerful, often possessed unique traits—it was nothing extraordinary.

Perhaps understanding this, Song Xin soon returned to his composed demeanor.

But in the next instant, Song Xin’s expression changed slightly.

It turned out that Lin Tianming had already moved to his new position much earlier.

At the very least, before Song Xin managed to locate him, Lin Tianming had already arrived at his current position and prepared for the next wave of attack in advance.

Now, with the sky restored, Song Xin noticed an unusual golden sword qi hovering above Lin Tianming’s head.

This sword qi was massive, its surface gleaming with golden light, its aura incredibly imposing—it was undoubtedly a spirit technique.

Realizing this, Song Xin’s face immediately darkened.

In truth, he hadn’t expected Lin Tianming to act so decisively, attacking without holding back.

After all, the two had only exchanged a few rounds so far.

Strictly speaking, their battle was still in the testing stage, far from the point of employing spirit techniques.

Yet despite this, Lin Tianming didn’t play by the conventional rules.

Such actions caught Song Xin somewhat off guard.

At this moment, Lin Tianming steadied himself and immediately condensed the sword qi.

This sword qi was precisely the ’Golden Dragon Sword Strike,’ a Yellow Grade spirit technique the Lin Family had obtained from the Golden Sword Sect years ago.

Over the years, Lin Tianming rarely deployed this technique.

The reason for this was simple—the attack power of this technique was relatively mediocre, especially compared to Lin Tianming’s other trump cards, making it one of the weaker options.

Though the power of this technique left something to be desired, its consumption of True Essence Mana was minimal.

And no matter what, this was still a spirit technique; even with its limited potency, it was far more robust than ordinary attacks.

At this moment, facing a formidable enemy he had never encountered before, Lin Tianming’s True Essence Mana was already down to a mere fraction, and he carried some injuries as well.

Under such circumstances, continuing to expend energy against Song Xin was clearly unwise.

After all, Song Xin was in excellent condition upon arrival, and his strength was undeniably overwhelming.

On the other hand, Lin Tianming, after the prior battle’s exhaustion, was in a state far inferior to Song Xin’s peak form.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming carefully analyzed the battlefield and prepared to resolve the fight quickly.

In his view, prolonged consumption would only give him the disadvantage.

If that were the case, he had to end Song Xin as fast as possible—or at the very least, injure him enough to force back the offensive stance of the four factions.

If he could repel the four factions’ attack this time, it would essentially fulfill Lin Tianming’s expectations.

If he could severely injure or even kill Song Xin here, that would undoubtedly be the best outcome.

However, achieving the latter would be extraordinarily difficult.

But regardless, the battle had already begun, and whatever the outcome might be, Lin Tianming had to give it his all.

This principle wasn’t limited to this fight; Lin Tianming adhered to it at all times. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Given the circumstances, Lin Tianming acted with remarkable decisiveness.

Under his control, the golden sword qi above him suddenly launched, pouring down fiercely toward Song Xin’s vital points.

The scene unfolded quickly and with relentless force.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

The golden sword qi cut through the skies, its overwhelming presence stirring up a vortex of Gang Wind, rushing straight toward Song Xin.

At this moment, Song Xin sensed the surge of this energy and spotted the incoming golden sword qi.

In that instant, Song Xin shifted his footwork at top speed, swiftly maneuvering to the side.

Simultaneously, with a swing of his sleeve, a turtle shell shield appeared in his hand at some unknown point.

After he had shifted several dozen zhang away, leveraging extraordinary speed, he successfully avoided the sharpest and most concentrated impact zone of the sword qi.

Now, the golden sword qi formally descended.

Faced with this strike, Song Xin hastily swung his sword, clashing directly with the golden sword qi above him.

Immediately following, he activated the turtle shell shield, which firmly enveloped his body.

The next moment, he felt a tremendous force transmitted through the turtle shell shield, shaking every part of his body.

His internal organs quaked briefly, and his Qi-Blood surged straight to his head.

At this juncture, Song Xin composed his mind and pushed his cultivation technique to its limits.

Through his forced suppression, his body gradually stabilized, though his complexion looked far paler than before. Overall, however, he remained intact.

Under this strike, Song Xin only expended some effort and still effortlessly handled the assault.

When he turned to look at Lin Tianming again, fury ignited within him.

Meanwhile, Lin Tianming saw that Song Xin seemed to withstand his attack effortlessly, and he wasn’t overly surprised.

Because he was well aware of Song Xin’s strength, he knew that relying solely on a moderately powerful Yellow Grade spirit technique would never yield instant results.

This applied not just to Song Xin—even Lin Tianming himself wouldn’t struggle too much against such an attack.

What he aimed for was merely to put pressure on Song Xin.

Beyond that, Lin Tianming also harbored his own plans.

According to his strategy, ordinary attacks were unlikely to be effective.

Rather than wasting his limited True Essence Mana, he might as well gamble everything in an all-out effort.

As for the ’Golden Dragon Sword Strike,’ its primary goal was to apply pressure to Song Xin, while the secondary purpose was to divert his attention, allowing Lin Tianming to successfully set up the Earth Fiend Sword Formation.

With the formation’s aid, his attacks would immediately rise to a whole new level.

Moreover, the Earth Fiend Sword Formation had the ability to trap and suppress enemies, greatly diminishing Song Xin’s attack power and drastically reducing his evasion capability.

Achieving this would make his subsequent attacks highly effective.

With this goal in mind, Lin Tianming had begun laying his plans early.

At the moment the ’Golden Dragon Sword Strike’ was activated, Lin Tianming had already summoned seventy-two Earth Evil Swords.

At the same time, Song Xin was completely preoccupied with the ’Golden Dragon Sword Strike,’ focusing most of his attention on countering this spirit technique.

Though Song Xin quickly realized Lin Tianming’s intentions, by then, he was dealing with the attack while maintaining basic defenses, leaving him insufficient energy and opportunity to stop Lin Tianming’s actions.

By the time the ’Golden Dragon Sword Strike’ concluded and the skies returned to normal, the seventy-two Earth Evil Swords had already fully emerged and began revolving around Song Xin as the center.

Next, seeing his goal on the verge of realization, Lin Tianming wasted no time and made a decisive gesture.

Simultaneously, Lin Tianming’s lips moved slightly as he chanted the incantation to activate the Earth Fiend Sword Formation.

In the next moment, a powerful aura materialized in the sky, ultimately forming an invisible and colorless barrier.

All of this happened swiftly, and by the time Song Xin fully reacted, everything was already complete.
