Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

The light on the Tiangang Sword surged brilliantly, and a terrifying Sword Qi shot out from the tip of the blade, piercing straight through the gaping maw.

At the same time, Lin Tianming immediately halted his movement, so as not to charge into the gaping maw of the Gale Rat.

Stabilizing his stance, he heard a scream followed by a crisp sound—the noise of the Gale Rat's body falling to the ground.

Looking over, the body of the Gale Rat laid on the ground, stirring up clouds of dust. It struggled in agony for a moment before breathing its last.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming's expression was filled with joy.

With this Gale Rat dead and another critically injured, the remaining rat was hardly worth mentioning.

Just then, as the last Gale Rat was trying to flee, it heard its companion's scream.

It involuntarily turned its head to look and, seeing the plight of its companion, knew that it was no match for Lin Tianming. Staying here would surely result in death at his hands.

Thus, the surviving Gale Rat lost all fighting spirit and immediately spun around to flee for its life without looking back.

Seeing the Gale Rat flee, Lin Tianming smiled indifferently and immediately began to pursue it.

The Gale Rat was fast, but Lin Tianming, when chasing with all his might, was a bit faster.

As the distance between them closed, and with the obstruction of Lin Tianming's Sword Qi, the Gale Rat was utterly overwhelmed.

Lin Tianming firmly locked onto the remaining rat, giving it no chance whatsoever.

By now, the last Gale Rat was at a dead end with no chance of escape.

In an instant, Lin Tianming closed to within less than fifty yards of the Gale Rat—a distance he could cover in a blink of an eye.

With a leap, he increased his speed by a notch, and the Tiangang Sword in his hand was already flying out.

"Tiangang Sword Qi Fifth Sword, Annihilate!"

The Tiangang Sword shot forward, its terrifying Sword Qi swirling around it, moving several times faster than any flying speed.

In the blink of an eye, the Sword Qi appeared directly above the head of the Gale Rat, ready to strike down at any moment.

Sensing the threat of the Sword Qi, the Gale Rat panicked, attempting to flee.

Lin Tianming gave it no opportunity.

In desperation, the Gale Rat spat out another earth ball, trying to shatter the oncoming Tiangang Sword—it had no other choice but to wait for death otherwise.

In this do-or-die moment, the earth ball was much larger than any before, clearly showing that the Gale Rat was making its last stand.

If it could break the Tiangang Sword, it might survive a little longer; otherwise, it would perish under the sword.

However, how could it possibly match Lin Tianming.

Even three Gale Rats together couldn't gain the upper hand, much less a solitary one making a desperate final gamble—it was nothing but a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

At this moment, time seemed to stretch out, yet also pass in an instant.

In no time, the Tiangang Sword descended vertically, colliding with the earth ball spat out by the Gale Rat.

A loud explosion sounded, and the Tiangang Sword paused for only an instant, consuming a fraction of its power before piercing straight through the earth ball and continuing its descent toward the Gale Rat.

Seeing this, the Gale Rat was utterly stunned, as if it had even forgotten to flee.

In reality, it wasn't that it didn't want to escape; rather, there was simply no time.

Although the Tiangang Sword's power and speed were somewhat reduced due to being momentarily obstructed, the two were far too close to each other; even with its speed, the Gale Rat couldn't dodge at such a short distance.

In this dire moment, with no escape to heaven or earth, the Gale Rat could only twist its agile body, try to dodge its vital points, and delay the inevitable as much as possible.

"Pfff..."

The Tiangang Sword struck the back of the Gale Rat, its formidable Sword Qi instantly slicing off a large chunk of flesh from its hindquarters.

The Gale Rat screamed in pain as its three-yard-long body heavily crashed into the ground, leaving a deep pit in the hard earth.

After several agonized howls and struggles, it managed to climb up with great effort.

The Gale Rat that had struggled to stand, with its breath utterly chaotic and its body trembling, showed it was grievously wounded, completely incapable of mounting any further attacks.

Despite its grave injuries, the Gale Rat still fixated on Lin Tianming, growling lowly as if venting its emotions.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming let out a cold laugh and then stepped forward, intent on putting an end to the Gale Rat's life.

Watching Lin Tianming move slowly, like the Grim Reaper, each step he took struck at the heart of the Gale Rat, pressing on its nerves.

Even though it was unwilling and filled with despair, the Gale Rat was powerless to change the outcome.

Under its desperate gaze, Lin Tianming's Tiangang Sword pierced directly through the Gale Rat's head.

As the body of the Gale Rat fell, blood spilled onto the ground, quickly pooling into a puddle, signaling the end of the battle.

Seeing that this Gale Rat no longer struggled, Lin Tianming then turned around, focusing his attention on the first severely wounded Gale Rat.

At this time, that Gale Rat was still struggling, trying hard to stand up.

However, its injuries were too severe, half of its body had been cleanly severed by the Tiangang Sword, and blood kept gushing from the wound, thoroughly drenching its surroundings in red.

Seeing Lin Tianming approach, it struggled violently, its eyes full of terror.

Lin Tianming remained unmoved, taking steps forward, then swinging the Tiangang Sword in his hand, chopping down at the now defenseless Gale Rat.

Mercy towards enemies is irresponsibility towards oneself.

Having experienced many life-and-death situations, how could Lin Tianming not understand this principle.

His actions were incredibly decisive; his strokes were quick, accurate, and ruthless, the sword light from his Tiangang Sword flashing.

The Gale Rat felt no pain as its massive head fell clean off, thumping to the ground with a muffled sound, presenting a shocking image in death.

With the three Gale Rats dead, Lin Tianming finally diverted his attention to observe the battle status of his teammates.

Looking around, aside from himself, who had finished the battle first, the others were still engaged in fierce combat.

However, some Cultivators in the initial-middle stage of Foundation Establishment had gained a definite advantage, victory being just a matter of time.

Yet, the outcome for their team hinged on the battle involving Li Xiuyuan and a few other Foundation Establishment Late-Stage Cultivators.

As long as the Demonic Beasts they were fighting hadn't lost their fighting ability, the combat wouldn't cease.

At this time, the three Second Order Demonic Beasts battling Li Xiuyuan were at a disadvantage, with one seriously injured and at less than half strength.

The other two also bore many wounds, remaining on the defensive under Li Xiuyuan's relentless attacks, constantly in a passive situation.

Hu Yuan was likewise gaining the upper hand; the three Demonic Beasts he was fighting were all injured. Without any accidents, he should be able to win.

As for Tang Liusheng and He Qiancheng, their situations were similar. Facing uneven numbers of Demonic Beast assaults, their chances of victory were slim, but their lives were not at risk.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming did not interfere, nor did he have any intention of stepping in to help.

He turned and headed towards Qin Xi not far away, not even taking the time to deal with the corpses of the three Gale Rats.

At this moment, there was no time to clean up the battlefield; after all, the Demonic Beasts were dead, the corpses couldn't run away, and no one would dare humiliate his achievements or do something as despicable as to steal them.

In such circumstances, he had nothing else to consider and planned to first help Qin Xi finish her battle, then assist some of the other Cultivators who were at a disadvantage.

As he arrived, Qin Xi was in the midst of an intense battle with three Second Order Initial Stage Demonic Beasts.

Expecting Qin Xi to be struggling, he was surprised to find that she, too, was not to be underestimated, gaining the absolute upper hand amidst the encirclement of three Second Order Initial Stage Demonic Beasts.

The three beasts attacking her were formidable, with two at their peak and not far from mid-Second Order.

Such strength, among the beasts of the Second Order Initial Stage, was considered exceptional.

Even so, Qin Xi still maintained the advantage, which made Lin Tianming take another look at her prowess.

With Lin Tianming joining the fray, Qin Xi did not reject his assistance.

With the two working together, backed by Lin Tianming's terrifying power, the three Second Order Initial Stage Demonic Beasts had no chance of escape and couldn't inflict any real damage on them.

At this moment, Lin Tianming weaved through the three Demonic Beasts, frequently swinging the Tiangang Sword in his hand. Under the dreadful Sword Qi, none could withstand a single exchange.
