Chapter 1927: Chapter 990: Gravely Wounded

At this moment, a low growl echoed, the Ink Jiao within the sword array spat out light orbs, once again activating its innate divine ability.

This time, the number of light orbs available for the Ink Jiao was limited. Once the light orbs stored over many years were exhausted, it would have no choice but to rely on its physical strength for a direct confrontation with the enemy.

This situation wasn’t what the Ink Jiao wanted to see, but it was not something it could control either.

So, faced with great danger, the Ink Jiao, even against its will, could only push with all its might for a final struggle.

Moreover, by now, the Ink Jiao was well aware that relying solely on the power of its innate divine ability, it definitely couldn’t drive away the formidable foes before it.

Since that was the case, it had to try to increase its means of attack as much as possible.

In doing so, it was also taking advantage of the remaining resistance to try to put pressure on the opponent.

Simultaneously, if it could break through the sword array’s constraints, it would definitely flee this place without a second thought.

With these thoughts, at this moment, besides activating its innate divine ability, the Ink Jiao swung its massive tail again, furiously striking towards Lin Tianming’s attacking blow.

Besides that, as the Ink Jiao consecutively spat out light orbs and swung its thick tail trying to obstruct Lin Tianming’s attack, it was also rapidly twisting its body, directly charging towards a barrier of the sword formation.

It was evident that the Ink Jiao, driven to the end of its tether, had no choice but to use its physical body when faced with the fierce onslaught from Lin Tianming and Qin Xi.

And, there was no helping it.

After all, combining the innate divine ability and the tail’s attack only managed to barely hold back Lin Tianming and Qin Xi’s offensive.

Based on that, if it couldn’t break the formation barrier quickly, all that awaited it would be death.

Understanding this fact, the Ink Jiao couldn’t afford any considerations, it had to utilize every possible means.

It was a last-ditch struggle for survival.

If the goal is achieved, successfully breaking through the sword array’s constraints, Ink Jiao’s prowess at its grade level would allow it to roam freely in the vast sky.

If not, it could only perish here.

With these hopes, the Ink Jiao launched a fierce offensive in the shortest time.

And by then, Lin Tianming and Qin Xi’s attack had already arrived.

“Boom…”

As the sound of sword qi thrummed, their attacks collided head-on.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

In an instant, a series of rumbling blasts echoed continuously.

Meanwhile, bright light erupted in the sky, powerful shockwaves like waves spread out in all directions.

The Ink Jiao, with its enormous body, no matter how fast or erratically it moved, couldn’t shake off the impact of the shockwaves.

Thus at that moment, the Ink Jiao decisively used its powerful body to withstand the onslaught of the shockwaves.

By using its intelligence, the Ink Jiao cleverly leveraged the power of the shockwaves to propel its enormous body towards the sword formation barrier.

Because of the formation of the shockwaves, they became a force aiding the Ink Jiao’s body.

As for the power of the shockwaves, in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, handling it might come at a price.

But in front of the Ink Jiao’s mighty body and robust qi-blood, it was merely enduring some pain.

Also, it could use this force to further enhance its speed, and augment its impact power, thus breaking the sword formation barrier in the most primal way possible.

However, the Ink Jiao’s idea was sound, indeed facing desperation it should act so.

But in reality, the Ink Jiao underestimated the defense capabilities of the sword formation barrier.

Additionally, it underestimated Lin Tianming’s determination and courage.

On this basis, even utilizing the shockwave, it was very difficult for the Ink Jiao to achieve its goal.

Sure enough, amidst the fire’s glow, a large amount of sword qi disintegrated by the light orbs, dissipating into the world.

As for the remaining light orbs, they were blocked by Qin Xi’s attack, ultimately both sides’ means of attack disappeared, and the fire in the sky calmed down.

Next, the Ink Jiao’s thick tail was intercepted by Lin Tianming’s promptly activated attack.

On the other hand, reflecting on the Ink Jiao’s side, its strong massive body at that moment had collided head-on with a part of the sword formation barrier.

“Boom!”

A mighty roar echoed out, as the Ink Jiao’s body clashed against the sword formation barrier.

At this same time, Lin Tianming felt the sword formation barrier endure an immense impact.

Immediately afterward, the light screen of the sword formation barrier wobbled, seeming to show signs of destabilization.

Seeing this situation, feeling the feedback from the sword formation barrier, Lin Tianming’s expression grew more solemn.

Without delay, he immediately, in the first instance, controlled the Earth Fiend Sword Formation, injecting a large amount of pure true essence mana within, seeking to stabilize the entire sword formation barrier promptly and restore its normal operation.

Under his effort, the sword array’s light screen wobbled a few times before quickly returning to normal.

At this time, following Lin Tianming’s stabilization, the Ink Jiao’s impact also neared its end.

Further following, the counterforce formed by the impact came increasingly fierce, as if it was forcibly bounced away by massive elasticity.

In just a blink, the Ink Jiao’s colossal body had appeared a hundred zhang away, ultimately crashing heavily onto the ground, forming a ditch over a zhang deep.

Instantly, another great roar echoed out.
