Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

The sky gradually darkened, and a bright moon hung in the sky.

It was just the start of the night, not yet the time when demonic beasts roamed, and all around was silent.

Rustle, rustle, rustle...

The gentle breeze stirred the leaves, creating bursts of sound.

Lin Tianming sat to one side, closely observing the movements around him, and although it was not yet deep into the night, he had to be vigilant.

An hour and a half passed, and in this time, nothing untoward happened. Lin Tianming was relieved from his duty, replaced by two other clan uncles to continue the night watch.

After focusing intently for most of the day, he was now extremely tired.

Lin Tianming and his clansmen sat together, circulating their cultivation techniques and began meditating. Despite the dangers in the area, the spiritual energy was quite dense, slowly restoring the spent spiritual power!

In the deep of the night, Lin Xingzhi and Lin Xingcheng took over the responsibility of the night watch, sitting to one side, concentrating fully on monitoring the activities around them.

Rustle, rustle, rustle...

Rustle, rustle, rustle...

Several such noises caught the attention of Lin Xingzhi.

"Xingcheng, have you noticed anything?"

Lin Xingcheng explored their surroundings carefully but found nothing unusual.

"No, just some sounds of leaves rustling. Are you making too much out of it?"

After hearing Lin Xingcheng's words, Lin Xingzhi did not relax his caution, but became even more careful.

"Could it be that I'm overthinking it!"

"No, those few sounds just now, although nearly identical to the sound of wind blowing through leaves, were different. The sounds were noticeably sharper, with a faint clashing noise!"

Rustle, rustle, rustle...

Again came several noises, getting louder and closer!

"Everyone be alert, something's happening!"

Lin Xingzhi suddenly shouted loudly, alarming those who were meditating; everyone got to their feet.

At the same moment Lin Xingzhi raised the alarm, a piercing noise was heard.

A huge scorpion, a full zhang in size, burst forth from the earth, rapidly speeding toward them.

The entire scorpion was silvery-white with a golden tail stinger, and its two large claws were even bigger than a water bucket, looking fierce and malevolent.

"It's a Silver Earth Scorpion!"

In the moment Lin Xingzhi warned of danger, the Silver Earth Scorpion was already less than ten zhang from him, close enough to attack instantly.

The Silver Earth Scorpion already opened its gaping maw, extending its two large claws toward Lin Xingzhi in an attack.

Fortunately, Lin Xingzhi had been alert, gripping a Superior Grade First Order defense talisman in his hand to prepare for emergencies.

The instant he came under attack, Lin Xingzhi didn't hesitate to activate the defense talisman in his hand.

The talisman transformed into an earthen wall, blocking the deadly strike from the Silver Earth Scorpion. Taking advantage of the beast being obstructed, Lin Xingzhi swiftly retreated to his people's side, watching the front warily.

Its failed strike allowing the target to escape enraged the Silver Earth Scorpion, which emitted a sharp, angry shriek.

Rustle, rustle, rustle...

After more than ten breaths, over thirty Silver Earth Scorpions emerged from the ground, thoroughly surrounding Lin Tianming and his companions.

The awakened members of the party each drew their Spiritual Artifacts, ready to battle at any moment.

Lin Shiji's expression was serious as his mind raced.

The number of Silver Earth Scorpions attacking them was not few; there were over thirty, with three Late Stage First Order Demonic Beasts among them, and the rest were mostly Mid Stage First Order with a small number of Early Stage.

And the Silver Earth Scorpion that ambushed Lin Xingzhi was almost at the point of breaking through to the Second Order, posing the greatest threat. It seemed this was a clan, or there wouldn't be such numbers.

Although there were not many at the First Order Late Stage, the quantity at the Medium Stage was overwhelming, with each person having to deal with several at once, creating significant pressure.

"Xingzhi, Xingcheng, you two are responsible for holding off the two Late Stage First Order Silver Earth Scorpions, Tianming, you and the others move quickly to eliminate the rest of the Silver Earth Scorpions. Be swift, lest other Demonic Beasts are attracted, which would complicate matters!"

"Understood."

After tasks were allocated, Lin Shiji summoned a Spirit Sword and took the initiative to attack the leading Silver Earth Scorpion.

Seeing Lin Shiji's offensive, the leading Silver Earth Scorpion swiftly crawled forward to meet him, its speed astonishing.

Within half a breath's time, Lin Shiji and the Silver Earth Scorpion were locked in combat.

Lin Xingzhi and Lin Xingcheng each picked out a Silver Earth Scorpion and attacked.

The rest of the people hurriedly followed suit, each summoning their Spiritual Artifacts to join the battle against the Silver Earth Scorpions.

Instantly, a brilliant display of fire and various colors of sword light mixed with magical hues slashed through the night sky.

"Bang bang bang..."

The entire valley was in turmoil, a constant clashing sound akin to metal striking metal, exceptionally grating on the ears.

Lin Tianming wielded an Earth Evil Sword, swinging it several times in rapid succession, sending several Sword Qi strikes towards the Silver Earth Scorpions.

"Bang bang!"

Two Silver Earth Scorpions, unable to avoid, were struck by Lin Tianming's Sword Qi and sent flying backward.

The two struck Silver Earth Scorpions revealed several palm-sized cracks on their bodies, wailing in pain, they stood up again and lunged at Lin Tianming with their bites.

"They scarcely got hurt. The shell of these Silver Earth Scorpions is too formidable!"

It should be known that although Lin Tianming was only at the Seventh Level of Qi Refinement, he could easily match the attack of an ordinary Qi Refining Eighth Level cultivator with the usage of a Heavenly Grade Technique and Dual Cultivation of Body and Law!

In the midst of his surprise, five Silver Earth Scorpions attacked again, assaulting Lin Tianming from different angles simultaneously.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lin Tianming leaped dozens of yards into the air and quietly stirred fifteen Earth Evil Swords into forming a Sword Array, enveloping a hundred yards radius below.

Luckily, the Silver Earth Scorpions had extremely low Spirit Wisdom and were completely unprepared, getting trapped within the Sword Array without any defenses; among them, four of the Medium Stage and one of the Initial Stage.

The five Silver Earth Scorpions seemed oblivious to the imminent danger until Sword Qi began to fill the area covered by the Sword Array. Only then did they sense the scent of death and scram to escape in all directions.

The five Silver Earth Scorpions desperately rammed against the Sword Qi-created Sword Array, attempting to flee from this perilous place.

Unfortunately, the Silver Earth Scorpions' impact force and defensive power were far from adequate. They were repeatedly repelled by the Sword Qi, covered in wounds.

"Hmph"

"Today is a good day to test the might of this Sword Array on you!"

"Annihilate!"

As the space within the Sword Array shrank and the Sword Qi intensified, an Initial Stage Silver Earth Scorpion was directly beheaded by the Sword Qi, dying on the spot. The remaining four Silver Earth Scorpions struggled desperately to break free from the Sword Array's confinement.

After more than a dozen breaths' time, the remaining four Silver Earth Scorpions were thoroughly exterminated. Lin Tianming heaved a sigh of relief and observed the situation of his clansmen, preparing to lend his aid.

Not far from Lin Tianming, Lin Tianhong was being besieged by three Silver Earth Scorpions, two of Medium Stage and one of Initial Stage.

At that moment, Lin Tianhong was in an exceptionally difficult situation, with several injuries on his body, more than half of his Spiritual Power depleted, and he was steadily being forced back.

Lin Tianhong threw a First Order Medium Grade Defense Talisman, blocking the attack of the Silver Earth Scorpions and quickly retreating.

Lin Tianming charged forward with a burst of speed, fully urging several Earth Evil Swords together into one Sword Qi strike. Launching a surprise attack, he directly slew one Medium Stage Silver Earth Scorpion.

With Lin Tianming's intervention, the most significant threat was eliminated, allowing Lin Tianhong to regain his footing. With the pressure suddenly reduced, he began counterattacking, moving to kill the remaining two Silver Earth Scorpions.

Elsewhere, Lin Tianfeng was also battling three Medium Stage Silver Earth Scorpions and not falling behind at all. Relying on his rich combat experience, he should manage to achieve victory.

The other clansmen, not novices in fighting Demonic Beasts, were also holding their own against several Silver Earth Scorpions without faltering.
