Team Up to Slay the Qi Refining Demon Ape

While the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment demon ape was entangled by hundreds of vines, Ling Yunhong seized the opportunity.

To prevent the eighteen giant Sword-Ray formed by the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation from accidentally severing the hundreds of vines binding the demonic ape's limbs while attacking it, Ling Yunhong used hand Hand Seals to quickly retract the several-zhang-long giant Sword-Ray from the tips of the eighteen flying swords that formed the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation back into the flying sword's body.

The giant Sword-Ray previously on each flying sword was amplified onto the blade of the flying sword, and instantly, the blade of the flying sword emitted a cold light.

"Go."

Ling Yunhong waved his hand and simultaneously launched the eighteen flying swords, striking the only parts of the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment demon ape that were not bound by the hundred vines: its abdomen and head.

Although only three of these eighteen flying swords were Second Rank Low Grade flying swords, the remaining fifteen were all Higher Vehicle -First-Tier Superior-Grade flying swords. With the enhancement of the Sword-Ray, these flying swords were incredibly powerful. Under the continuous bombardment of the eighteen flying swords, the solid stone armor on the abdomen and head of the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment demon ape was gradually cracked until it shattered.

The shattering of the stone armor at these two locations caused the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment demon ape's angry expression to reveal fear, as its flesh and blood could hardly withstand the bombardment of those eighteen flying swords.

Just as the eighteen flying swords were about to pierce into the flesh of the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment demon ape, it finally made up its mind to activate the Protective Yuan Qi that only Foundation Establishment Demon Beast could use.

A yellowish-brown light barrier was immediately erected by the demonic ape, blocking the eighteen flying swords.

This earthen-yellow light barrier, activated by the inner core, was extremely sturdy. Even if eighteen flying swords simultaneously struck the barrier, they could only shake it, not shatter it in a short time.

Seeing this, Ling Yunhong, who was controlling the flying sword, was also very helpless. He could only secretly pray that Ling Yunqian and the others would have enough spiritual power to activate the Azure Wood Binding Demon Array and drag the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment demon ape until its Protective Yuan Qi was shattered and killed.

Protective Yuan Qi is the best way for Demon Beast above the Foundation Establishment Realm to save their lives, with defensive power comparable to a magic shield of the same level.

Of course, while the Protective Yuan Qi is strong, it also has its dangers. If the Protective Yuan Qi is broken, it will also damage the inner core of the Demon Beast.

Subsequently, this battle became a life-or-death struggle involving spiritual power.

While the Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the five families of Huai River County were engaged in a fierce battle with the Foundation Establishment demonic ape, the Qi Refining cultivators from the five families were not idle either.

After the hundreds of demonic apes rushed into the area within one mile of the five Qi Refining cultivators' Divine Sense, the five Qi Refining cultivators immediately used their respective methods to attack the hundreds of demonic apes that had attacked.

Within the formation of the Ling Clan clan.

Apart from Ling Yunqian Ling Yunqian six others who, together with Ling Yunhong, used the Azure Wood Binding Demon Array to attack the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment demon ape, the remaining twenty-four members of the Ling Clan clan quickly gathered together in small groups.

Following the pre-battle drill, Ling Pengyun's team took the lead in unleashing six Binding Demon Array flags. These flags surrounded two Qi Training Late Stage demon apes, eight Qi Training Middle Stage Refining demon apes, and thirty-five Early-Stage Qi Training- stage Qi Refining demon apes from the small group of over a hundred demon apes charging towards their Lineage. In an instant, the six array flags formed an array, conjuring dozens of water ropes that bound the forty-five demon apes.

Subsequently, the six Earthen Soil Transformation Curtain Formation raised by Ling Penglin's team transformed into a yellow light screen, protecting more than thirty members of the Ling Clan clan.

Finally, it was Ling Xiaohua and Ling Pengxing, who controlled the Blazing Fire Array and the Golden Needle Array, who led their team to make their move.

As soon as the banners of the Blazing Fire Array and the Golden Needle Array were displayed, they flew to the vicinity of the demonic apes trapped by the Binding Demon Array, surrounding the forty-five Demon Beast and forming an array. They then conjured up streaks of Fiery Array and Golden Needles, which swept over the bodies of the forty-five demonic apes within the array.

The Blazing Fire Array and the Golden Needle Array are both First Rank Middle Grade formations. Although they are not placed on Spirit Vein and do not have any formation artifacts, their power is at most only 70% of that of a fully-fledged formation.

Even so, the power of these two formations is still considerable.

The rock armor conjured by the Innate Spell "Rock Armor Technique" activated by the demonic apes within the formation was simply no match for the simultaneous attack of the two killing formations.

In addition, Ling Pengyun organized people to set up Binding Demon Array to restrain the Demon Beast within the array, making it impossible for them to break free and escape the killing array in a short time.

This resulted in the immediate annihilation of over twenty Early-Stage Qi Training Refining demonic apes by the two killing formations within a few breaths.

Only those demonic apes in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining can resist the formation.

Inside the Qi Refining, the surviving mid-to-late stage Qi Refining demon apes were not stupid. They knew that if they stayed any longer, they would surely die from exhaustion. The only way to survive was to kill the person controlling the formation.

Led by two Qi Training Late Stage Refining demon apes within the formation, the remaining Qi Training Middle Stage Refining demon apes within the formation began to desperately unleash their Innate Spell, conjuring stone cones, stone arrows, and boulders to strike at Ling Pengyun and the others.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

These twenty-odd earth-based Law Technique bombarded the Earthen Soil Curtain Formation set up by Ling Penglin's team, creating Ripples Marketplace on the illusory light screen.

Although all twenty-odd Law Technique attacks were blocked, the light shimmering from the light screen created by the Earthen Soil Curtain Formation dimmed slightly.

Just as these Law Technique attacks landed, more than fifty Qi Training Demon Ape rushed out from the horde and charged towards the Ling Clan family's group.

With no one left to defend against the second wave of Qi Training Demon Ape, the Ling Clan could only watch as these fifty-odd demonic apes charged towards them.

Those fifty Qi Training Demon Ape were all clad in stone armor, their bodies stretched to an enormous size. Because they had mastered the Rock Armor Technique, these Rock Armor Demon Ape preferred close combat.

Therefore, these fifty-odd Qi Training Demon Ape directly used their bodies to forcefully confront the light barrier created by the Earthen Soil Curtain Formation.

These demonic apes were incredibly strong. Fifty demonic apes simultaneously crashed into the light barrier, causing the entire barrier to shake violently.

It was as if the light curtain would be shattered at any moment.

At this moment, Ling Penglin, inside the light screen, also frowned.

She formed hand Hand Seals and used a Secret Method to condense a magic Law Seals covered with array patterns, which she then sent into the Earthen Soil Curtain Formation Array floating in front of her.

As soon as the Law Seals merged into the array plate, the array plate flashed with spiritual light. The light screen activated by this array stopped shaking and stabilized in an instant. Moreover, the flashing spiritual light was three times brighter than before, and the thickness of the light screen also increased.

"Sixth Uncle, Third Brother, Eighth Brother, I can't hold out much longer. Quickly kill the remaining demonic apes in the Binding Demon Array and return in time to annihilate the second wave of over fifty demonic apes that are charging in." Seeing that the defensive light barrier was stable, Ling Penglin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly called out to Ling Xiaohua, Ling Pengxing, and Ling Pengyun, who were also inside the defensive light barrier and controlling the Blazing Fire Array, Golden Needle Array, and Binding Demon Array Formation.
