Chapter 1341: Chapter 696: Prelude to Slaughter_2
âSuch a despicable act, truly disgraceful!â
âLi Yongan, you have shamed your ancestors⊠may you meet a terrible end!â
ââŠâ
Amidst the cursing, the white-haired elder appeared dazed, utterly devoid of spirit.
Not just him, the other informed Li Family cultivators were similarly despairing, stunned into silence on the spot.
Then, as the Li Family members continued their cursing, some began to leave the plaza early.
Soon, the originally orderly group dissolved into chaos as some departed first.
However, the few informed elders, like the white-haired elder, remained in place, seemingly prepared to face death heroically.
At the same time, following Liang Qinghongâs strike from the outside, he retreated over ten meters.
Then, Liang Qinghong pointed to a specific spot, his sonorous voice carrying an excited undertone, spreading all around.
âItâs right there at the convergence of the light beams in the upper left corner, the weak spot of Li Familyâs formation!â
As Liang Qinghong finished speaking, Liang Shaorongâs face lit up with joy, and he suddenly sprang into action.
At that moment, the treasure sword in Liang Shaorongâs hand flashed, followed by a melodious sword hum.
âBoomâŠâ
With that sword hum, an enormous sword qi transformed into a golden dragon, charging straight towards the spot Liang Qinghong indicated.
âBangâŠâ
A loud explosion resounded, accompanied by dazzling firelight illuminating the sky.
Within that light, the sword qi dragon crashed directly onto the light barrier of Li Familyâs formation.
Instantly, the formation barrier shook violently, more so than ever before.
Furthermore, large areas inside and outside the formation trembled, and at the Sect Entrance Plaza within the Li Family, cracks appeared in the ground.
At the same time, those infusing their Spiritual Power into the control token all turned pale, many spewing large amounts of blood, their auras rapidly waning.
Even the white-haired elder looked ghastly pale, blood seeping uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth.
Once slightly recovered, the white-haired elder looked extremely haggard, his heart feeling ominous.
However, before they could catch their breath, the situation worsened.
Because, although Liang Shaorongâs strike didnât break the formation, it was clearly less stable than before.
Now, the Li Familyâs relied-upon defense array teetered on the brink of collapse.
Moreover, in this critical moment, Liang Shaorong and other Liang Family cultivators launched numerous attacks at the previously assaulted spot.
âWhoosh whoosh whooshâŠâ
With a series of whooshing sounds, a dozen rounds of attacks descended, precisely striking the same position.
âBang bang bangâŠâ
In an instant, a cascade of explosive sounds filled the air, with multicolored lights tearing through the void, lighting up the sky brightly.
At the same time, powerful shockwaves swept through, shaking the ground.
In the dazzling light, the formation barrier shuddered violently, then burst and disintegrated like a popped bubble.
Simultaneously, the airwave created earlier became more violent with the arrival of a secondary shockwave.
Amidst the impact, Liang Shaoguang and others were pushed back, eventually stabilizing themselves with effort.
When they managed to refocus, they saw the light barrier disintegrating, revealing the entire Li Family clan grounds.
Seeing this, Liang Shaorongâs face lit up with joy, all traces of fatigue vanished.
Not just him, but all the Liang Family members present felt the same.
After all, the breach of Li Familyâs defensive formation meant that this enemy would be annihilated, if not severely damaged, making them fall from the ranks of top Golden Elixir forces.
At the same time, the resources of the Li Family would fall into the hands of the Liang Family camp cultivators, marking the end of their deep-seated grudges.
In these circumstances, Liang Shaorong laughed heartily, his expression somewhat deranged.
âFellow clansmen, fellow Daoists, let us join together to wipe out the Li Family cultivators.â
With that, Liang Shaorong leaped forward, charging into the Li Family clan grounds.
Others, unwilling to lag behind, vanished like wolves pouncing on prey.
Apart from the Golden Core Stage cultivators, the Foundation Establishment cultivators placed around the Li Family clan grounds were also ready.
In an instant, these Foundation Establishment cultivators formed teams at intervals, sealing all escape routes for Li Family members.
At this moment, Lin Tianming and Qin Xi witnessed all this firsthand.
Regarding the actions of the Liang Family members and the hired auxiliary forces, Lin Tianming and Qin Xi did not join in.
Because when the formation was breached, Lin Tianming, relying on his powerful divine sense, enveloped most of the Li Family clan grounds.
Through his detection, except for areas protected by strong restrictions, he couldnât miss a thing in the accessible areas.
Precisely because of this, he noticed that no traces or presence of Golden Core Stage cultivators existed within the Li Family, only two Third Order Early Stage demonic beasts rushing over.
Moreover, those remaining in the Li Family were mostly of advanced age with low cultivation.
In other words, these people were of mediocre talent and potential.
Based on this, he understood the Li Familyâs general situation.
He speculated that the Li Family top members likely left the clan grounds.
As for their final destination, it was probably one of the other two major Golden Elixir forces.
If not, the Li Family top members wouldnât have allowed attacks on their defensive formation without any reaction.
Furthermore, with the formation breached, no matter how fearful of Liang Familyâs strength, they wouldnât have remained unexposed.
Besides, only the old, weak, women, and children, and two average-strength spirit beasts remained in the Li Family, fully implying the top members were not there.
Regarding the two remaining Third Order spirit beasts, it was the Li Family top membersâ unwillingness to abandon them, leaving them to create an escape opportunity for their clan members.
Moreover, the ground beneath was a strategically abandoned area by the Li Family.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming felt some disappointment, and his murderous intent subsided.
Given his current cultivation strength, exterminating Foundation Establishment cultivators would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Such a one-sided slaughter held no interest or meaning for him.
Additionally, a crucial reason was that the departure of the Li Family top members indicated their true treasures had likely been taken with them.
If thatâs the case, then the current Li Family Treasure Vault would hold nothing valuable.
Thus, according to his agreement with Liang Shaorong, the Lin Familyâs thirty percent share of the vaultâs benefits would be significantly diminished.
Even if the Lin Family could choose treasures first, it would gain nothing worthwhile, only slightly better than other forcesâ treasures.
Realizing this, Lin Tianmingâs interest in killing Foundation Establishment cultivators plummeted.
Therefore, Lin Tianming and Qin Xi stayed put, refraining from attacking the defenseless Li Family cultivators.
