The one who cast the jade-green magical power spiritual shield, timely blocking in front of Lin Zhiyin to protect her, was naturally Lu Yuanshan.
Previously, seeing the Spirit Sword Sect disciples deploying the Fine Water Flowing Cloud Formation, Lu Yuanshan was not in a hurry to act, wanting instead to see the prowess of this formation.
After secretly observing from a distance for a while and witnessing the Fine Water Flowing Cloud Array being broken by the Golden Rhino, Lu Yuanshan realized the power of such an array.
Dealing with opponents of the same realm, like some powerful Tier Two Demon Beasts, this Fine Water Flowing Cloud Array indeed has remarkable power, capable of slaying all foes.
But in the face of opponents a realm higher, such as Tier Three Demon Beasts, it is sorely lacking.
Just like the Golden Rhino before him, a slight use of its Lifebound Divine Techniques could break the Fine Water Flowing Cloud Array.
If action wasnât taken now, this Elder of the Spirit Sword Sect would likely perish here.
Thus, Lu Yuanshan summoned the Jade Water Spiritual Shield, casting a Magical Artifact Spiritual Shield in front of Lin Zhiyin to fend off the Golden Rhinoâs attack.
With a clang.
Faced with the suddenly appearing jade-green spiritual shield, the Golden Rhino did not cease its attack; its golden divine radiance shot violently onto the jade-green spiritual shield.
This strike of the Golden Rhino was immediately blocked by the Jade Water Spiritual Shield.
"This..."
Seeing the jade-green spiritual shield appear in front of her at a critical moment to block the beastâs attack, Lin Zhiyin was delighted.
"May I ask which elder is assisting me?"
Reacting, Lin Zhiyin quickly looked around, searching for Lu Yuanshanâs figure.
If she couldnât guess now that someone was assisting her, heroically intervening, she would truly be too frightened to think straight.
"I am Lu Yuanshan, Sect Leader of the Cyan Mountain Sect."
A voice came over, followed by a young man descending from the eastern sky, wearing black-purple wings, appearing in the eyes of Lin Zhiyin and the Spirit Sword Sect disciples.
"Cyan Mountain Sect..."
Hearing the name Cyan Mountain Sect, Lin Zhiyin recalled the origins of this sect.
Moreover, she had heard of Lu Yuanshanâs name, knowing who he was.
The Sect Leaders and strong individuals of the Eight Great Sects and various forces would pay attention, so it was not surprising for Lin Zhiyin to recognize Lu Yuanshan.
However, after showing joy, Lin Zhiyin soon showed a puzzled expression.
According to her understanding, wasnât Lu Yuanshan, the Cyan Mountain Sect Leader, still a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?
How could he now dare to act against a Tier Three Demon Beast?
Furthermore, he even managed to fend off the attack of the Golden Rhino.
Before Lin Zhiyin could ponder the reason, she saw Lu Yuanshan taking the initiative to launch an offensive.
A blue radiance cut through the air, unleashing powerful Ancient Sword Qi, sweeping in all directions.
Although Lu Yuanshanâs attack was several meters from Lin Zhiyin, the powerful Sword Qi from the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword was still clearly sensed by her.
"This is..."
Feeling the swordâs power far surpassing the Foundation Establishment Stage, Lin Zhiyin was shocked, unable to keep from opening her mouth.
"Crystallization Stage power!?"
A strong feeling of astonishment arose in her heart; when did the Cyan Mountain Sect Leader advance to the Crystallization Stage? The next moment, she saw that the blue light was a Flying Sword.
The Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword charged forward inexorably, under Lu Yuanshanâs attack of the Sword Technique Chasing Wind and Moon, slashing towards the Golden Rhino.
The power of this sword far exceeded the First-Layer Crystallization Stage, to the extent that after the slash, its formidable power made the Golden Rhino feel grave dread.
It dared not have any negligence, utilizing all its Crystallized Demon Power, frantically wielding another Lifebound Divine Technique.
In a very short time, the golden Beast Armor on the Golden Rhinoâs body doubled in strength, becoming even more resilient.
But to think of using this to block the attack of the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword would be underestimating Lu Yuanshan too much.
With a shuffling sound.
The Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword cleaved the Golden Rhinoâs defense; half the remaining Sword Power continued to strike the Golden Rhinoâs body.
Roar!
With a painful howl, the Golden Rhino was cleaved in two, perishing under Lu Yuanshanâs sword.
This scene of the sword slaying the Golden Rhino stunned the surrounding Spirit Sword Sect disciples, leaving them incredulous.
The Golden Rhino, which had earlier been so powerful that even the Fine Water Flowing Cloud Array couldnât restrain it, capable of breaking it in one move, now fell instantly under the Cyan Mountain Sect Leaderâs sword.
This Cyan Mountain Sect Leader is truly formidable!
Swish!
At this time, after glancing at the expressions of Lin Zhiyin and others, Lu Yuanshan merely gave a faint smile, with no intention of conversing, once again activating the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword.
The time to use the Crystal Power is limited, and wasting even a second is regrettable for Lu Yuanshan.
With a purring sound.
Under Lu Yuanshanâs direction, the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword launched an offensive at the remaining Tier Two Demon Beasts, swiftly slaying three Tier Two Demon Beasts.
Lu Yuanshan had no intention of sparing the remaining Tier Two Demon Beasts, continuing to wield the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, slashing with a single stroke.
At this time, Lin Zhiyin and others of the Spirit Sword Sect watched Lu Yuanshan wielding the Flying Sword and executing a mighty kill, momentarily stunned.
He truly seems intent on clearing out all these beasts single-handedly.
Lu Yuanshanâs subsequent actions confirmed the crowdâs suspicions.
In the face of overwhelming power, how could the remaining Tier Two Demon Beasts be Lu Yuanshanâs match?
One person, one sword, one slash, and a Tier Two Demon Beast would fall.
Roar!
The last few Tier Two Demon Beasts, terrified, roared in fright, fleeing in all directions.
Lu Yuanshanâs eyes gleamed like lightning, directing the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword to attack and kill effortlessly clearing the fleeing Tier Two Demon Beasts.
Including the previously slain Golden Rhino, this time, Lu Yuanshan had slain a total of fifteen Demon Beasts.
Fourteen of those were Tier Two Demon Beasts.
The battle merit points gained here in Cold Water Town suddenly reached 2,500 points.
"Thank you, Elder Lu, for your assistance!"
After Lu Yuanshan finished clearing out the group of beasts, while other Spirit Sword Sect disciples were still marveling at his strength, standing agape in shock, Lin Zhiyin was the first to react, respectfully cupping her hands toward Lu Yuanshan.
This time, if not for Lu Yuanshanâs timely intervention, she and her group would likely have perished in the mouths of these beasts.
The bodies on the ground would not have been the beastsâ.
