Chapter 311 The Helpless Lin Shikang_2
With this in mind, trying to buy as much time as possible was the priority right now, the longer they could hold out, the safer the Lin Family Clan Grounds would be.
Having thought this through, Lin Shikang looked toward the direction of the valley and immediately said, "Shihua, activate all the power of the Protective Clan Formation, hold out for as long as possible."
"As long as Brother Ye comes out of seclusion successfully, all our problems will be easily solved!"
Hearing these words, the Lin Family wasn't completely without the means to resist, and Lin Shihua's face finally looked a little better.
Right after that, he fully activated the Protective Clan Formation, and then he turned his attention to the battle outside.
"Bang bang bang..."
The Wind Dusk Beast and the Tyrant Spirit Ape clashed fiercely, and the force of their impact swept through the entire battlefield.
At that moment, the impact created a massive wave that surged violently toward them, only to be blocked by the Protective Clan Formation.
After one round of attacks, the colors on the formation's light screen faded slightly once again, and the formation's defensive power was clearly further weakened.
Faced with this outcome, all three members of the Lin Family were helpless.
The Wind Dusk Beast and the Tyrant Spirit Ape, however, didn't care about these issues. They fought recklessly without any regard for the Lin Family's losses or life and death.
"Bang bang..."
While they were reduced to mere spectators, earth-shattering noises continued to come from outside the formation as two Third Order Demon Beasts fought each other.
The Tyrant Spirit Ape let out a roar and its gigantic fist, like a huge rock, violently smashed down toward the Wind Dusk Beast.
The Wind Dusk Beast didn't dare delay, and while dodging, it didn't forget to counterattack.
At that time, with its back toward the Lin Family Clan Grounds, the Wind Dusk Beast was less than a few hundred yards away.
As the fist drew closer and closer, it suddenly dodged, once again activating its Innate Divine Ability.
In an instant, the Wind Dusk Beast's speed surged dramatically.
As the Wind Dusk Beast evaded the attack, the Tyrant Spirit Ape missed its strike.
Before it could retract its strength, its steel-like fist directly hammered onto the formation's light screen.
A loud boom echoed, and the Protective Clan Formation violently shook.
A few breaths later, the formation's light screen returned to normal, and the ground stopped shaking.
Seeing this, the usually calm and experienced Lin Shikang couldn't help but curse, his face looking extremely grim.
Just that one strike had reduced the Protective Clan Formation's defensive power. A few more like that, and it definitely wouldn't hold.
Having calmed down a bit, Lin Shikang said to the Lin Shihua next to him, "Immediately organize the clan members to gather and prepare to leave through the secret passage."
"Once the formation can't hold any longer, directly take the clan members and leave."
Hearing this, Lin Shihua and the other person knew the situation was not optimistic. Although they were reluctant to leave their well-built clan grounds and were worried about Lin Shikang staying alone, they didn't hesitate at his command.
After all, their own strength was extremely limited; staying here would only be a burden.
Understanding this, the two nodded toward Lin Shikang and flew directly toward the back mountain, soon disappearing from sight.
Watching them leave, Lin Shikang waved his sleeve robe, and the Qingfeng Sword appeared in his hand.
Then, he held a large amount of Second Order Talisman paper in his hand, clearly ready to act.
"Roar rumble..." The fierce battle outside continued.
Soon, half an hour passed.
At that moment, the battle between the two demon beasts had reached a feverish stage.
In the meantime, the Protective Clan Formation had withstood several more rounds of attacks from the beasts, with both the Wind Dusk Beast and the Tyrant Spirit Ape contributing.
By now, the formation's energy had been greatly depleted, teetering on the brink of collapse.
Under his watchful eye, the Tyrant Spirit Ape struck again, and after the Wind Dusk Beast dodged it, the force directly hit the formation's light screen.
"Boom!"
After a loud explosion, the formation's light screen shattered into countless points of light, which then dissipated between heaven and earth.
Simultaneously, the entire scene of the Lin Family Clan Grounds was exposed to the sight of the two Third Order Demon Beasts.
At that moment, Lin Shikang's face darkened, his heart filled with immense rage.
Lin Shikang had initially fantasized that after a few rounds of the demonic beasts' battle, they would leave the Lin Family Clan Grounds and, by then, the Lin Family would have been spared from calamity.
In the end, they still couldn't avoid this unnecessary involvement.
At this moment, the two demonic beasts continued their relentless battle, utterly disregarding whether Lin Shikang was present.
It seemed as though they didn't even consider him worthy of their attention, utterly disdainful.
Lin Shikang didn't dare to delay either; the moment the formation broke, he immediately retreated explosively and flew towards the valley behind the main peak.
Facing the battle of two Third Order demon beasts, he dared not stay in the area.
Once entangled in their skirmish, even with his Foundation Establishment Great Completion cultivation, he could still lose his life.
His plan was to first create a safe distance, as long as their fight didn't disturb Ye Pinghai's secluded cultivation.
As for the clan's houses, cave mansion courtyards, and even those valuable Spiritual Medicine Gardens, if they had to suffer losses, so be it.
If one were to die, all the treasures in the world would be meaningless.
Conversely, as long as one lived, with some time, effort, and financial resources, one could always restore things to their former state.
Knowing this, his speed was swift, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared atop a mountain outside the valley.
He looked from afar at the family's mountain gate, where occasional massive fluctuations and sparks of light were erupting, his expression filled with worry.
Before he could even catch his breath, his face turned pale again, and he couldn't help but curse loudly.
"These two damn beasts, it was bad enough they broke through our Protective Clan Formation, but they're relentlessly pursuing this and have even started fighting inside the clan grounds!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he stared angrily ahead.
In front of him, just over a thousand zhang away, the Wind Dusk Beast was fleeing, with the Tyrant Spirit Ape hot on its tail.
Beneath them, more than a dozen clan members' dwellings and Cave Mansion Courtyards collapsed, with a large amount of trees and stones scattered around.
Fortunately, he had timely instructed Lin Shihua to relocate the clan members.
Otherwise, under such an onslaught, even Foundation Establishment Stage members would have been injured, if not lost their lives senselessly.
But even so, the current situation was still dire.
Because the two Third Order demon beasts were fast approaching the valley where Ye Pinghai was in secluded cultivation.
If left unchecked, they would certainly disrupt his consolidation of cultivation.
Should he be disturbed at a critical moment, leading to an unstable consolidation, there was a risk of falling back in cultivation levels.
At this very moment, Lin Shikang found himself once again faced with a dilemma.
If he chose to fight, with his level of cultivation, intervening might mean a near-certain death.
If he chose to retreat, he himself would be unharmed, but it would inevitably force Ye Pinghai to emerge and interrupt his cultivation.
In that case, at best Ye would face a fall in his cultivation realm, and at worst, he could be at risk of perishing.
Understanding this, Lin Shikang's complexion turned extremely unsightly, his heart filled with complexity.
However, the Wind Dusk Beast and Tyrant Spirit Ape didn't give him time to react; in just a few breaths, they came to a place not far in front of him.
At that moment, Lin Shikang stood in the way of the Wind Dusk Beast's path of escape, finding himself in an embarrassing situation where he could neither advance nor retreat.
As the Wind Dusk Beast was about to break into the valley entrance, Lin Shikang, after pondering repeatedly, decided to take the risk and intercept them.
In his eyes, killing the Wind Dusk Beast was the Tyrant Spirit Ape's objective in this pursuit.
As long as the Wind Dusk Beast died, the Tyrant Spirit Ape's goal would be achieved, and likely it would avoid mindless killing, sparing the Lin Family unnecessary losses.
After all, the Tyrant Spirit Ape was a Sect Guardian Spiritual Beast of the Zhenyang Sect, fundamentally different from those ferocious Third Order demon beasts.
Furthermore, from the standpoint of the greater good of the Human Race, it was only proper to intervene against these demonic beasts if it was within his power to do so.
More importantly, by taking this risk to buy time for Ye Pinghai, though extremely dangerous, it would leave Ye indebted to him, thus binding him more firmly to the Lin Family's ship.
Having made up his mind, he immediately activated the Law Decree, unleashing all the Second Order talisman papers he had prepared.
Beyond that, he channeled spiritual power to its limit and stimulated the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, which erupted with numerous sword qi.
"Boom..."
Part of the sky at the entrance of the valley was completely engulfed by the various Second Order Talisman attacks.
Instantly, multicolored rays scattered, and countless Sword Qi and fireballs streaked across the sky, completely sealing off the Wind Dusk Beast's escape route.
