Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 1301 - 676: Gaining the Upper Hand_2
Chapter 1301: Chapter 676: Gaining the Upper Hand_2
At this moment, facing him, Lin Tianming had already begun a new round of action.
Just as Song Xin momentarily lost focus, Lin Tianming’s movements didn’t pause for even a second.
Because he knew very well that time was of the utmost importance to him now, and he didn’t have the stamina for a prolonged battle.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming, the instant the Earth Fiend Sword Formation had stabilized, unleashed a new round of attacks.
In that moment, Lin Tianming formed a peculiar hand gesture while muttering an incantation under his breath.
Soon, five distinct colors appeared above his head.
These five colors hung suspended in mid-air, forming a rainbow-like arc.
At the same time, the Five Elements in the heavens and earth began to stir violently, finally converging into five distinct hues that melded into the rainbow above Lin Tianming.
The process of manipulating these elements wasn’t instantaneous; the Spiritual Energy of the Five Elements across the land continuously surged into the rainbow.
In less than two breaths’ time, that five-colored rainbow grew increasingly massive.
At this very moment, Song Xin instantly sensed this shift.
In that instant, as he raised his head to stare skyward, his expression became incredibly grim.
At that moment, as the rainbow reached a pinnacle, Lin Tianming unhesitatingly activated it.
"Five Elements Spiritual Technique!"
As Lin Tianming silently chanted, the rainbow in the sky suddenly churned and transformed into a sphere of five-colored light.
The moment this sphere appeared, its multicolor radiance illuminated the void, dazzlingly bright.
This round of attack was one of the Yellow Grade Spirit Techniques Lin Tianming had acquired long ago.
Back then, he was training on the northern borderlands of Jingzhou when he encountered the powerful Golden Core Stage independent cultivator, Yang Chengfeng.
After a fierce battle, he barely managed to kill his opponent.
Over these years, Lin Tianming had long mastered this technique, though he rarely used it for fear of being discovered.
Considering Yang Chengfeng’s nefarious deeds, including countless robberies and murders in the past, it was likely he’d made many enemies.
If Lin Tianming frequently used this technique and was identified by someone with a vendetta against Yang Chengfeng, it could bring unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, Lin Tianming had refrained from using this Spirit Technique for such a long time.
However, this technique’s power was formidable. Lin Tianming had personally witnessed Yang Chengfeng deploy it before, and its might was genuinely overwhelming, causing him significant headaches at the time.
In his perception, it was undoubtedly much stronger than the ’Golden Dragon Sword Strike.’
Now, facing the extraordinarily formidable Song Xin, Lin Tianming had no reservations about holding back.
Furthermore, his current location— the Central Qingzhou Kingdom—was far from the lands of Jingzhou.
Using the technique in this place meant it was highly unlikely to stumble upon one of Yang Chengfeng’s old enemies.
Moreover, Lin Tianming’s strength had advanced significantly since then; even if Yang Chengfeng had Late Stage Golden Core enemies, as long as they weren’t Nascent Soul Stage experts, Lin Tianming felt confident in handling them by himself.
With all this in mind, Lin Tianming finally decided to fully unleash this Spirit Technique without worry.
"Boom..."
Under Lin Tianming’s control, the five-colored light sphere floating in midair erupted into motion.
In that instant, it shot forward, tearing across the sky at an inconceivable speed, quickly arriving above Song Xin.
At this moment, Song Xin’s expression turned grave as he retreated rapidly, attempting to create a safe distance.
However, the area covered by the Earth Fiend Sword Formation was limited, and drifting Sword Qi continuously obstructed his path.
Not only that, but the Sword Formation’s suppressive force constantly applied pressure on him, significantly slowing his speed.
In such circumstances, evading this round of attacks was no easy feat for him.
In reality, within moments of considering his situation, Song Xin had already made a decision.
Seeing the light sphere charge at him, Song Xin pushed his speed to the limit.
At the same time, he continuously swung his longsword treasure, releasing multiple bursts of Sword Qi that surged toward the light sphere.
Even after doing this, Song Xin still appeared uneasy and quickly activated his Defense Treasure again, enveloping himself securely in its protection.
His reaction speed was astonishing; both offensive and defensive measures were completed almost instantaneously.
As Song Xin’s Defense Treasure solidified, Lin Tianming’s five-colored light sphere roared downward.
"Bang..."
Two consecutive explosions rang out, turning the entire Sword Formation into a sea of fire.
Meanwhile, the earth trembled violently as the collision of their attacks unleashed a massive shockwave, rippling outward in all directions.
Within the sea of fire, Song Xin looked as though struck by lightning, his entire body flung dozens of meters away.
While still airborne, Song Xin’s Qi-Blood churned uncontrollably, forcing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. His face paled significantly.
His body only came to a halt after crashing hard into the ground, leaving behind a massive crater.
Struggling, Song Xin staggered out of the pit, his bloodshot eyes locking onto Lin Tianming with an expression of raw fury, as if he wanted to tear Lin Tianming to shreds.
Nevertheless, even with his face twisted in rage, he dared not act rashly.
Having suffered an injury during this exchange, his overall strength had clearly been affected.
But the main reason for his hesitation was that Lin Tianming’s power had thoroughly intimidated him. freёnovelkiss.com
Even earlier, Song Xin had been surprised and forced to reevaluate Lin Tianming’s strength.
Yet after this attack, his understanding of Lin Tianming’s abilities was shattered once again.
Not only that, but throughout this battle, Lin Tianming’s techniques had grown increasingly unpredictable.
Take his Spirit Techniques alone—it was astonishing that he had already employed two of them.
Such extravagant offensive methods were rare even among the upper echelons of the Yuanchen Sect.
In contrast, Lin Tianming’s attacks grew ever more overwhelming, forcing Song Xin to struggle under the pressure.
This recent attack had been particularly devastating.
Song Xin’s volleys of Sword Qi had been effortlessly deflected, with leftover power breaking through his Defense Treasure and transferring shockwaves directly onto his body.
In that moment, he felt a tremendous backlash, accompanied by excruciating pain flooding every nerve in his body.
It had been years since he experienced such a situation.
Moreover, this exchange had left him injured, an outcome that had become exceedingly rare for him.
He hadn’t expected that this trip to the Liang Family, which he had assumed would be an easy endeavor to disrupt Liang Shaoping’s breakthrough and devastate the Liang Family, would turn out like this.
Who would have thought the Liang Family would invite such a powerful ally as Lin Tianming, who had now become his opponent in this battle?
This unforeseen turn of events was far from what he had anticipated.
Perhaps due to the mental disparity compounded by Lin Tianming’s intimidating strength, Song Xin hesitated to act recklessly for fear of revealing a weakness for Lin Tianming to exploit.
Meanwhile, across from him, Lin Tianming, seeing that Song Xin appeared injured, couldn’t help but let out a relieved sigh.
In truth, prior to this strike, Lin Tianming hadn’t been confident about gaining the upper hand.
After all, Song Xin’s strength had already reached the Fake Infant Level, and Lin Tianming had seen the extent of his abilities.
He had to admit, Song Xin’s prowess was formidable.
Facing such an opponent, even after using two Spirit Techniques, he wasn’t sure he could achieve a decisive advantage.
Unless he employed ultimate techniques like the Heaven and Earth Sword Lotus or the Great Sun Sword Qi Art.
Otherwise, it was unlikely to seize control of the battle with just two rounds of attacks.
However, the Five Elements Spiritual Technique had exceeded expectations, proving far more powerful than Lin Tianming had imagined.
With this one strike, he had managed to injure Song Xin and impact his strength to a significant degree.
Now, having seized the initiative, Lin Tianming could further expand his advantage.
To achieve this result was, indeed, deeply satisfying to Lin Tianming.
