Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Crazy Drinking
At the outskirts of the Qingyun Mountain range, a Golden Luan Eagle slowly descended from the sky, landing on Lin Shiming's shoulder.
The attention of all the Lin Family members instantly focused on Lin Shiming.
Lin Shiming took out the Spirit Water and placed it next to the Golden Luan Eagle's hooked beak.
After a fluctuation of divine sense, Lin Shiming shook his head at the Great Elder and the others.
Although the Lin Family members had braced themselves, they were still somewhat disappointed.
Suddenly, Lin Houshou's brows furrowed tightly.
He stared ahead, then quickly turned to check behind them!
Then he looked left and right!
"All the early warning formations around us have been triggered, activate the formation immediately, form up!" Lin Houshou's hands displayed several array flags, and he started to rapidly form hand seals.
The others reacted in an instant, grabbing their magic artifacts, watching their surroundings with vigilance.
All of them expanded their divine sense.
The first to detect the Huang Family's cultivators was the Great Elder; as an experienced Qi Cultivation Ninth Level cultivator, his range of divine sense was the broadest.
"There are Huang Family cultivators to the north!"
"They are in the east, and west as well!"
...
A bad feeling surged in the hearts of all the Lin Family cultivators.
"Six Qi Cultivation Ninth Levels!" Under the solemn gaze of the Great Elder Lin Yuqing, a trace of helplessness emerged.
As the head of the Great Elder and the Demon Hunting Team, he knew they had been careless and too eager for success.
"Uncle, we can't give up. Relying on the formation, we still have a chance. This set of Five Directions Profound Earth Array plates can block three Qi Cultivation Ninth Levels without a problem!" Lin Houshou shouted loudly, his spiritual energy bursting forth.
In an instant, he displayed a level of cultivation that far surpassed the Eighth Level of Qi Cultivation.
"Hou Shou, you've reached Qi Cultivation Ninth Level, good!" Lin Yuqing roared with approval, his spirit sweeping away the gloom!
If the younger generation could do this, how could he, a senior, show any cowardice?
Lin Houshou did not reply. With a cold shout, the earth and rocks around him tumbled, and beams of immense spirit light rose around them. A golden yellow barrier enveloped everyone.
The Five Directions Profound Earth Formation was complete!
Outside the formation, a burly man with a dark complexion arrived first on a Flying Sword.
"Do you Lin family only know how to hide like turtles?"
As he flew in, a giant hammer appeared in his hands. With the infusion of spiritual energy, it instantly transformed into a mountainous black hammer that he smashed fiercely toward the Lin Family members.
Clang!
A loud noise echoed as the earthen barrier of the Five Directions Profound Earth Formation violently shook.
Huang Lishan and Huang Ligong quickly surrounded them as well.
A grand force of over thirty people, among which six were Qi Cultivation Ninth Level, twenty were late-stage Qi Cultivators, and the remaining dozen were at the Sixth Level.
A cloud of darkness filled the hearts of the Lin Family members. The latter stage of Qi Cultivation was still manageable, but the gulf with the Ninth Level cultivators was too wide.
Even though Lin Houshou had broken through to Qi Cultivation Ninth Level and was a second-rank superior grade array master, he could at most hold off three who were just entering the Ninth Level. The Great Elder, being a body cultivator, was more easily countered and would do well to stall two at the Ninth Level.
"Shiming, if we can't resist later, I will cover your retreat!" Lin Shiming had already been continuously throwing seeds and drinking Monkey Wine.
Lin Yuqing's voice transmission entered Lin Shiming's mind, and he understood that he had once again become the person his family needed to protect.
Of course, Lin Shijie, the eldest of the Lin Family's generation with the character "Shi" in their names, had also received [the summons].
"Great-grandfather, Second Uncle, I can hold off a Qi Cultivation Ninth Level!" And just at this moment, Lin Shijie suddenly shook his head and spoke, as a second-rank supreme grade sword radiated a resplendent glow of spiritual energy from his hand.
Beside him, the always silent Lin Shiming also unexpectedly spoke out:
"My Blood Corpse can also help!" He said as he took out a blood-red coffin from his storage bag, solemnly biting his finger and letting essence blood drip onto it.
He formed hand seals and pressed down!
Ghostly, eerie winds started to blow as the red coffin was violently blasted away!
A blood-red, ghastly corpse suddenly stood up, its long and sharp claws gleaming coldly, complemented by its fearsome fangs and turbid blood-red eyes, causing the Lin Family members to involuntarily retreat.
It was at this time that people realized Lin Shiming had already reached the seventh level of Qi Cultivation.
"Good! Shijie, Shiming, with you two, the Lin Family is truly fortunate!" The Great Elder laughed heartily, and in an instant, his spiritual power surged, his body seemingly expanding in size.
"Lishan, you old fatty, Ligong, you old slickster, today this old man will let you see who truly is the number one in Body Cultivation amongst Qi Cultivators!" The Great Elder charged out fiercely, heading straight towards Huang Lishan and Huang Ligong.
In that instant, Lin Houshou also activated his Five Elements Profound Earth, the light shield disappeared, and it transformed directly into a massive Five Elements Profound Mountain, crushing down hard on the three Qi Cultivation Ninth Level members of the Huang Family.
Although the Five Elements Profound Earth was capable of defense, its forte was still offense!
With the light shield gone, Lin Shijie and the Blood Corpse charged towards the last Qi Cultivation Ninth Level cultivator of the Huang Family.
"Hmph, Lin Family brat, not even fully fledged, and yet you dare to insult me!" The remaining Ninth Level cultivator of the Huang Family was also furious, waving his hand a Five Elements Flag appeared.
With a wave of the flag, various Five Elements Spells continuously flew out, bombarding both Lin Shijie and the Blood Corpse.
Unending flames endlessly roasted the Blood Corpse!
The Blood Corpse was clearly being suppressed by the flames, cackling and roaring in rage.
Lin Shiming hurriedly took out several ordinary corpse cultivators and reached towards the Ninth Level cultivator of the Huang Family.
"Damn it, if only I had more resources, my Blood Corpse could reach the peak of the second rank, impervious to fire and water, invulnerable to swords and spears! How would a Qi Cultivation Ninth Level be of any concern?"
Lin Shiming felt somewhat unwilling.
This feeling of unwillingness, when heard by the Lin Family members, made many cultivators instantly consider how Lin Shiming had become the supported member of the family due to his opportunities and merits.
No one responded to Lin Shiming, but the increasingly ferocious fist techniques of the Great Elder, with his pair of supreme grade boxing gloves, sent countless spiritual artifacts flying.
A set of the Thick Earth Fist Manual resulted in the slight suppression of both Huang Lishan and Huang Ligong.
The scene turned chaotic for a moment as the Huang Family members faced off against the Lin Family members.
Generally speaking, the cultivation level of the Huang Family members was higher, but the Lin Family also had an advantage, being inheritors of the Purple Mansion's cultivation techniques, which were slightly stronger.
But they could only barely hold back, and it seemed like defeat was already decided.
Especially a few cultivators at the fifth and sixth levels of Qi Cultivation, who were already decapitated.
Lin Shiming was still there drinking Monkey Wine, and everyone felt that Lin Shiming had gone mad. With a great battle approaching, continuing to guzzle down wine, was this self-abandonment?
But the Huang Family had an inkling that something was not right—after all, this was a descendant of Lin Houyuan.
A Qi Cultivation Eighth Level cultivator suddenly unleashed a huge Fireball Technique, blasting away a Seventh Level cultivator from the Lin Family, and a giant magic sword slashed towards Lin Shiming.
But just then, a red-haired figure unexpectedly appeared in front of everyone, holding up a Profound Water Heavy Mountain and violently throwing it at the magic sword.
With a loud boom, the magic sword was smashed apart, and the Profound Water Heavy Mountain rumbled as it flew back.
The red-haired figure was familiar to the crowd, but why would this red-haired figure be holding Lin Shiming's Profound Water Heavy Mountain, and why would they block this strike for Lin Shiming?
At this moment, Lin Shiming finally stopped.
He suddenly lifted his head, his face flushing extremely red, like an inflated balloon, his eyes filled with madness.
