Chapter 289: Bloodthirsty Jiao_1
A small area in the southern part of the battlefield, this is where the Foundation Establishment Cultivators primarily engage in combat.
Just like the previous battle, Golden Core Cultivators and Third Order Demon Beasts were fighting fiercely above.
With each move they made, powerful shockwaves spread out, and whether it was the thick-skinned monsters or the relatively agile Human Cultivators, none could dodge in time, let alone rush towards the fray.
Otherwise, how would that be any different from seeking death?
In the vast area to the south, that was the main battleground for Foundation Establishment Cultivators, while Qi Refining Cultivators occupied a large portion of the north.
At this moment, the team Lin Tianming was part of was fiercely battling over sixty Bloodthirsty Jiaos.
This round of battle was different from their previous opponents, composed of a dozen different monster races.
This time, however, they were facing beasts from the same species, and even though their overall number was smaller, their cooperation with each other was incredibly tacit.
It was this powerful Bloodthirsty Jiao Tribe, whose collective strength was by no means weaker than the monster group they had faced before, piling on more pressure on his team.
At this time, Lin Tianming pinched his Law Decree, and the Tiangang Sword in his hand immediately burst forth with radiant light.
Shortly after, a powerful burst of Sword Qi shot out, its pale white light particularly noticeable in the slightly gloomy sky.
In the blink of an eye, the silver-white Sword Qi slashed towards two opposing Bloodthirsty Jiaos with incredible speed.
On the opposite side, the two Bloodthirsty Jiaos twisted their bodies, their barrel-thick forms surprisingly agile, moving with astonishing quickness.
The levels of these two Bloodthirsty Jiaos were not low; both were powerful beings in the Second Order Late Phase, with extremely ferocious and irritable temperaments and formidable strength.
As the attack closed in, the Bloodthirsty Jiaos, sensing the presence of the Sword Qi, didn't dare to take it lightly despite their notable strength.
At the same time, the two Bloodthirsty Jiaos quietly dodged the assault, lingering on the side, staring menacingly at Lin Tianming, as if searching for an opportunity.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming's brow furrowed, but he wasn't too surprised.
After all, this was merely a probe, and given the strength of those two Bloodthirsty Jiaos, it was expected they would dodge it.
Regaining his focus, he looked at the two Bloodthirsty Jiaos with a wary expression.
The pressure on him during this round of battle was not insignificant; the grade and strength of these two monsters were formidable, their attacks were incredibly powerful, and compared to the Second Order Middle Stage beasts they faced earlier, it was a world of difference.
However, even so, Lin Tianming was unafraid. As long as he didn't encounter a Third Order Demon Beast, with his own strength, he should not fear for his life.
"Roar Roar..."
Two roaring growls arose, and the Bloodthirsty Jiaos, after sizing things up for a moment, began to launch their attack proactively.
At that time, the Bloodthirsty Jiaos opened their massive maws, spewing out a cluster of blood-red liquid.
"Sizzling..."
Looking on, the blood-red liquid seemed to possess intense corrosiveness, dissolving the air itself, spreading a foul stench that quickly encompassed the area.
Simultaneously, the blood-red liquid shot out at an incredibly fast pace, rushing towards Lin Tianming.
Seeing this, it was clearly the Bloodthirsty Jiaos' Innate Divine Ability, with tremendous killing power.
If one were to get even slightly touched, it's likely that even a Second Order Magical Artifact would suffer a great loss of spirituality. If one were unlucky enough to have their body come into contact, they might very well lose their life.
Deeply aware of this, Lin Tianming's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
"These two beasts really don't hold back, launching their killing moves without even the patience for probing!"
Mentally cursing, Lin Tianming dared not delay, quickly twisting his body to dodge the attack of the blood-red liquid.
At this time, facing the terrifying blood-red liquid, a gust of wind was born under his feet, and his speed also reached the limit.
"Whoosh..."
The blood-red liquid he dodged then struck an empty spot on the ground, corroding into a deep, bottomless pit in an instant.
Seeing the frightening corrosiveness and such destructive power, Lin Tianming's face darkened.
Fortunately, he was fast enough. If he had been touched even slightly, even with his strong physical body from Dual Cultivation of Body and Law, and even with Blue Star Armor, he likely would have been severely injured.
Coming back to his senses and noting the Bloodthirsty Jiaos' missed strike, they gave him no opportunity to catch his breath.
The two Bloodthirsty Jiaos glanced at each other, then swung their whip-like tails toward him in a sweeping motion.
Though their bodies were only as thick as a bucket, they were very long, longer than those of other Monster Serpent races, and possessed both fearsome defensive power and formidable attack power.
Watching as the tail of the Bloodthirsty Jiao got increasingly close, compressing the air and making sharp, cracking sounds, there was an obvious, terrifying force behind it.
Lin Tianming looked serious, and as his figure retreated explosively, he wildly swung the Tiangang Sword in his hand, releasing a barrage of Sword Qi to clash with the iron-hard tail of the monster snake.
"Clang clang clang..." a series of metallic clashing sounds echoed.
The Sword Qi struck the tail of the Bloodthirsty Jiao, only to be repelled by the great force, ultimately dissipating into the ether.
And yet the Bloodthirsty Jiao's tail appeared entirely unscathed, its speed only slightly slowed, but still swept towards Lin Tianming.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming acted without panic, moving quickly to evade.
As the tails of the two Bloodthirsty Jiaos were momentarily hampered by the Sword Qi, even though no actual damage was inflicted, evading became considerably less difficult.
The strike missed, Lin Tianming, relying on his own methods, perfectly dodged, surprising the two Bloodthirsty Jiaos.
