Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

On the outskirts of the Luoyun Mountain Range, within a secluded dense forest, Lin Tianming and his two companions carefully navigated through it.

Five whole days had passed, and the trio's gains were meager.

They had killed only five Demonic Beasts in the Initial Phase of the First Order, and two in the Medium Stage, totaling less than two hundred points.

The three of them perched on the branches of a tree beside them, gazing into the depths of the dense forest, deep in thought.

"Tian Ming, this won't do. The number of Demonic Beasts in the outer perimeter is really limited. They're mostly in the Initial Phase, and there are hardly any in the Medium Stage, let alone the Later Stages," said Lin Xingyu, pulling the other two back to reality from their contemplation.

"Yeah, at this rate, I'm afraid we won't get much!" Lin Xingyu's words won Lin Tianfeng's agreement.

After much consideration, Lin Tianming realized that in the outer perimeter, where Monster Hunting Squads often train, the number of Demonic Beasts had drastically decreased, and those in the Medium Stage were rarely seen. If things continued like this, progress would be slow.

Although they were only a three-person team, their overall strength was not weak. In the inner area, as long as they didn't provoke the larger tribes, there shouldn't be any danger.

Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming decisively made a decision.

"Uncle, Elder Brother, I want to enter the inner area. What do you think?" Lin Tianming asked.

Hearing Lin Tianming's suggestion, Lin Xingyu and the other understood. Hunting Demonic Beasts on the periphery might be safe, but it was impossible to win first place in the great competition. If they wanted to achieve a good result, taking risks was inevitable.

"I have no objections!"

"Neither do I!"

With Lin Xingyu and the other's affirmation, Lin Tianming didn't say anything more. He led the two of them, turning direction and rushing towards the inner regions of the mountain range.

Three days later, within a quiet valley, the trio revealed their figures.

Gazing across, the valley wasn't large, only several hundred zhang in length, with a large quantity of jungles around, lush vegetation that covered it all very well.

"Tian Ming, have you discovered anything?" asked Lin Xingyu curiously as he saw Lin Tianming not moving forward, but silently staring at the valley ahead.

As the two were puzzled, the shrill cries of some creatures caught the attention of all three.

After a few moments, over forty Demon Insects attacked the trio, kicking up a great amount of dust.

Once the dust settled, the true forms of the Demon Insects were exposed.

"It's the Green-Red Mantis!"

Before the words were finished, the Green-Red Mantises quickly moved, surrounding the group tightly, yet not attacking, seemingly wary of them.

Lin Tianming's face was solemn as he scrutinized the Demon Insects that had encircled them.

There were well over forty Green-Red Mantises of varying sizes, with the largest ones nearly half a zhang in size, their legs bristling with dense, sharp spines that looked particularly threatening.

Among the Demon Insects, the largest five were in the Late Stage of the First Order, while the others were either in the Medium Stage or the Initial Phase.

As both parties were in a standoff, Lin Tianming quickly began to think.

In the past few days since entering the inner region of the Luoyun Mountain Range, they hadn't found any particularly suitable Demon Beast Tribe to hunt. Either they were too weak to yield much gain, or they were too strong to risk provoking lightly.

However, this tribe of Green-Red Mantises, while not weak and not without risks, was a rare equal match for them.

Seeing that more than half of the hunting period had passed, they had no more time to waste.

"Uncle, Elder Brother, get ready to make a move!" Lin Tianming decided and began to allocate the tactics.

"Uncle, you and elder brother each deal with a late stage Demonic Beast, while I'll hold off the others. Make it quick and decisive, finish off the two late stage Demon Insects then come help me!"

"Agreed!"

Lin Xingyu and another answered, each taking out their Spiritual Artifacts, and picked their targets, charging towards the Green-Red Mantises.

Seeing that the two had made their move, Lin Tianming didn't hesitate either.

He summoned eighteen Earth Evil Swords, waved his hands, and the swords as beams of light sank into the ground, setting up the Sword Array to prevent the Demon Insects from escaping.

He took out another Earth Evil Sword, consecutively releasing several Sword Qi straight towards the Green-Red Mantises.

Seeing Lin Tianming and his party spring into action, the Green-Red Mantises did not sit and wait for death; the two late-stage Green-Red Mantises waved their limbs crossing them, and several green Wind Blades burst forth, meeting Lin Tianming's Sword Qi.

"Boom, boom, boom…" Discover hidden tales at empire

A sound like clashing metal rang out as the Wind Blades and Sword Qi collided together, exploding violently and creating a massive wave of turbulent air.

On the fringes of the explosion, several initial stage Green-Red Mantises couldn't evade in time and were flipped by the powerful gusts, crashing into the valley's rock walls, completely incapacitated.

As Lin Tianming's cultivation had increased significantly, a casual blow from him was now comparable to a Cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage.

And the initial stage Demonic Beasts couldn't even withstand the fluctuations caused by his fighting, as they were directly stunned and knocked out.

On another side, Lin Tianfeng and another person each faced a late-stage Green-Red Mantis, as fierce battles unfolded between them.

Since the Green-Red Mantises weren't very fast, and as long as one was careful of the Wind Blades they emitted, they weren't difficult to deal with. Each facing a Demonic Beast, they were under no substantial pressure.

The two continuously summoned several Sword Qi. Sword light flashed, and the Green-Red Mantises were forced to retreat step by step, their defeat being only a matter of time.

Seeing that the two had gained the upper hand, Lin Tianming stopped dividing his attention and focused on the Demon Insects in front of him.

Before he knew it, Lin Tianming had already battled through dozens of exchanges, both sides sustaining injuries.

The majority of the initial and medium stage Demon Insects had perished, with only about ten medium stage and above remaining, many of whom were already covered in wounds.

Lin Tianming had also suffered quite a few superficial wounds, but fortunately, with his Dual Cultivation of Body and Law, relying on his strong defensive power and recovery abilities, the injuries weren't serious, needing only two days of rest to fully recover.

After a while, Lin Tianfeng and the other person had each dealt with their Demon Insects and joined Lin Tianming's battle group.

With Lin Tianfeng and the other person joining in, the pressure on Lin Tianming suddenly decreased.

The three attacked from three different directions, the remaining ten or so Demonic Beasts seeing that things looked bleak and started thinking of escape.

Lin Tianming had already set up his Sword Array and naturally wouldn't let the Green-Red Mantises succeed.

He pinched his fingers together, issuing several Law Decrees to activate the Sword Array, trapping all of the remaining Green-Red Mantises within a hundred yards.

Sensing the vast amount of violent Sword Qi within the Sword Array, the Green-Red Mantises desperately tried to escape the range of the Sword Array.

Lin Tianming didn't pause at all, fully activating the Sword Array, shrinking the space within.

As the space gradually decreased, cries of agony echoed from the Sword Array.

A short time later, when the last Green-Red Mantis was struck by the Sword Qi and fell to the ground without breath, the battle was over.

Seeing that all the Demon Insects had perished, Lin Tianming dispelled the Sword Array, collected all the Earth Evil Swords, then collapsed onto the ground, with a pale face but rapidly took out a Huiyuan Pill from his storage bag and swallowed it.

Lin Xingyu and Lin Tianfeng hadn't expended much energy, and while Lin Tianming was recovering, they quickly cleared the battlefield.

After a quarter of an hour, Lin Tianming had recovered nearly half of his Spiritual Power, and his complexion gradually grew rosier.

Lin Tianming stood up, took out a Spirit Sword provided for the competition, unleashed Sword Qi, and marked all the Demonic Beast corpses.

Lin Tianfeng and the other person swiftly dissected the Demonic Beast corpses, removing the useful parts and storing them in their storage bags.
