Chapter 2206 - Crimson Electric Fiend

Only by turning into swordbeasts could the lifebound beasts of the Lin Clan reach their full potential. And they had to do that just to overcome the pressure from the stone slabs. Their loud cries showed how distraught they were feeling.

"This divine wonders far too terrifying!"

"Looks like she's Second Patriarch Lin's other trump card!"

Even after seeing Tianming best Lin Yongning, that still didn't hold a candle to the might of the Grand Dao Thousand Words to the audience at all. It was as if they were intentionally forgetting Tianming's performance, but he wasn't in a rush, either.

The other young geniuses of Lin Bei's faction were utterly floored by the might of the Grand Dao Thousand Words.

"What kind of dogs.h.i.+t luck does Lin Feng have to get a divine wonder monster like her as his concubine?" Lin Mingzhi, an eighth-level stellaminor, said.

"Quick, save them!"

Apart from Lin Xiuzhu, the remaining four eighth-level stellaminors joined the fray. They were much more powerful than the previous five, all of them about as strong as the Blood Abyss WarG.o.d.

"Immediately use your swordbeasts! Don't think about destroying the individual stone slabs, just focus on breaking into their main base to wipe out the wondermancer!"

"That's right! She's the core of their formation. If we take care of her, the rest will fall apart!"

They knew where the weakness of Tianming's team was. a.s.similating their swordbeasts into their weapons afforded them much more agility, since the stone slabs would no longer be able to target the beasts' large forms. There would be fewer targets to hit, as well. As eighth-level stellaminors, they were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence.

As for the still-apathetic Lin Xiuzhu, people turned their attention away from him. They knew that he wouldnt gang up on the sub-thirty-year-old wondermancer, given his pride. Instead, he stood and watched with his hands behind his back. But unlike the rest, he paid attention to Tianming, having been completely taken in by the sight of a mere first-level stellaminor utterly defeating Lin Yongning.

"The clan registry's records must be wrong. He's at least a seventh-level stellaminor!" It was no big deal for someone of around a hundred years old to be a seventh-level stellaminor, but Lin Xiuzhu knew that it was no laughing matter, either. That cultivation definitely qualified Tianming to be a worthy opponent. "You guys, take care of the wondermancer. Leave Lin Feng to me."

"Understood!"

The other seven disciples that were still in the fight were older than Lin Xiuzhu, but they heeded his orders nonetheless. Together, they all converted their lifebound beasts into swordbeasts. Their swords pulsed with power, manifesting many of the traits of their beasts and allowing them to use their abilities in their sword strikes. With that, they were fully able to cut apart the black stone slabs and bisected any that came flying their way.

"Lin Guiyu, Lin Huahao, Lin Lingyao, focus on paving a path and covering Lin Hongguang and I as we charge in!" Lin Mingzhi, the most senior of them, ordered. "Lin s.h.i.+yun, take care of Lin Xiaoxiao and stop her from taking potshots at us. She isnt that strong! Lin Yahan, cut down that tree!"

The tasks were quickly delegated. "Got it!" The seven of them quickly spread out, having identified the key points of Tianming's fighting formation. Lin Mingzhi, Lin Hongguang, Lin s.h.i.+yun, and Lin Yahan were all eighth level. Lin s.h.i.+yun happened to be Lin Zhongyu's elder sister, and seeing her little brother being heavily injured by Xiaoxiao's arrow had made the red-clad girl incredibly furious. She locked on to Xiaoxiao and zeroed in on her, swordbeast-infused blade in hand.

"Taking potshots, eh? Let's see how you survive this, so-called infinitum-cla.s.s genius!" Lin s.h.i.+yun surged with power and swung her blade, sending out the abilities of her five swordbeasts to bolster her own strike.

"Hmph." Xiaoxiao drew her bow while she expressionlessly stood on the Archaionfiend in the air. "Wu You, if you show him how well you're performing, you'll definitely get your eye back."

"Got it." The Archaionfiend smirked at the sight of their foe and flapped its wings to gain more alt.i.tude as countless blood-colored bolts gathered in its scales, charging them up. It had turned into a crimson electric fiend! With a great rumble, it unleashed Archaion Blitzh.e.l.l! The brand-new ability was like an electrified formation that spread out and covered the entire battlefield in an instant. Crimson lightning bolts turned into winged electric snakes that flew all around and slammed into every foe they could see, Lin Xiuzhu included. The entire battlefield was dyed red.

"Agh!" Lin Xiuzhu included, all ten of them cried out in paineven including their swordbeasts! The ability targeted their souls, giving each and every one of them a hard time fending off the electric snakes. There were millions of them near Lin s.h.i.+yun alone, keeping her busy and causing her to take an arrow to her knee.

"Agh!" she growled. While that didn't affect her combat capabilities much, it was still incredibly embarra.s.sing. The suppression from the stone slabs and Perpetia's s.p.a.cetime control made her have an even harder time avoiding the incoming barrage. Before she had even been able to approach Xiaoxiao, she was already swooping around like a kite in a storm.

"How is it? Cool, right?" Xiaoxiao continued shooting as her beast flew her around. No matter how powerful her foes were, as long as they couldn't touch her, there wouldn't be a point. Not to mention, she had ample support. The Grand Dao Thousand Words greatly limited the moves of the enemy lifebound beasts, giving Ying Huo and the rest even more room to maneuver and help her.

Xian Xian used its most powerful ability, Ghoulface Fiendblossom, scattering cherry blossom flowers all over the place. Each of them had the face of a ghoul etched into them. The moment they touched flesh, they began parasitizing their victims and sucking away their lifeforce. Coupled with its roots, vines, and other floral abilities, the enemies had a good reason to focus on cutting it down first.

Lin s.h.i.+yun had failed to take care of Xiaoxiao, and Lin Yahan, the other female eighth-level stellaminor, didn't fare any better. Ying Huo, Meow Meow, Lan Huang, and Yin Chen had their fun with her, completely hampering her ability to approach Xian Xian. Lin Yahan didn't even bother giving them the time of day, however, convinced by the dogma of her clan that lifebound beasts that couldn't turn into swordbeasts were complete trash.
