Ling Yunhong Battles Luo Minghui

Then, he turned his gaze to the place where the Luo Clan clan members were gathered, and to Luo Minghui Luo Clan with the highest Luo Minghui level.

"Brother Luo, my Ling Clan intends to have a contest with your Luo Clan cultivators."

"Your cultivation is profound, while the other two participants from my clan are not very strong. Therefore, I will ask Brother Luo for guidance. I wonder if Brother Luo dares to accept the challenge?"

Luo Minghui didn't pay any attention to the provocative words. His gaze was fixed on Ling Pengyun, a Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, in the Ling Clan's cultivator team.

"I thought that the biggest obstacle for my Luo Clan to win the Martial Duel competition was the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan, which has two Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. I didn't expect that the Ling Clan, apart from Ling Yunhong, would produce another Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"Plus the sword cultivator Ling Pengxing possesses extraordinary combat power."

"The threat posed by the Ling Clan to my Luo Clan is probably even greater than that of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan."

The other two members of the Luo Clan who participated in this Martial Duel, his Daoist partner Li Xia and his son Luo Qiuming, had all reached the Foundation Establishment, but they were only at the Foundation Establishment Third Layer, still in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Even though he had sought out his former fellow disciples from the Hundred Spirits Sect and obtained a powerful weapon more than ten days before the start of the Martial Duel.

However, he was still not very confident that he could defeat Ling Clan three Foundation Establishment from the Ling Clan in the next battle.

Furthermore, as far as Luo Minghui knew, Ling Pengyun had only been in the Foundation Establishment Realm for two or three years. In such a short time, he had broken through to the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment. Regardless of whether Ling Pengyun used spiritual objects, it was enough to show that Ling Pengyun had some talent in cultivation.

Moreover, the Ling Clan family already had Ling Yunhong, and now there is Ling Pengyun, as well as Ling Pengxing, whose strength far surpasses that of other cultivators of the same level, and a Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Immortal Spirit Crane King with considerable talent.

All four of them are quite talented.

"If Ling Clan time, and given that the Ling Clan is backed by the Yang Clan, if they are given several Ling Clan years or even a decade to develop, they will surely join forces with the Yang Clan to recreate the scene of the Yang family of the Peace Cloud Yang Clan Cloudwater County destroying the Red Leaf Ridge Ye Family Cloudwater County."

"My wife and I don't have much time left to live; we only have a few decades left to live."

"Although Qiu Ming has good aptitude, as long as he has enough resources to help him, he should have no problem reaching the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment like me. However, the other members of my Luo Clan are not particularly talented. In a few decades, when my wife and I have exhausted our lifespans, the Lineage will probably not be able to stand firm with Qiu Ming alone."

"At that time, the Luo Clan's situation will probably be just like that of the Azure Bamboo Wang Clan and the Cloud Mist Wen Clan today, where they will have to survive in the cracks."

"We must secure the first prize in this mining operation. If the Ling Clan wins the first prize and gets 25% of the mining operation, along with the Sand Soil Ore worth 30,000 Spirit Stone, they can definitely double the profits from that batch of ore by leveraging the Ling Clan's expertise in weapon crafting."

"This move is tantamount to giving the Ling Clan a boost for nothing, accelerating Ling Clan growth, and indirectly putting the Luo Clan in a precarious situation in the future."

"We absolutely cannot let the Ling Clan get the first prize."

"The Ling Clan is short one or two qualified cultivators. It seems that the weapon originally prepared for the Flame Cloud Tiger of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan will be used on this Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Ling Clan."

Lost in thought, Luo Minghui's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Ling-xiong, I was just about to experience your Ling Clan's Earthly Fiend Sword Formation."

Those watching from the surrounding Ling Clan clan members all showed a hint of worry on their faces.

Although Ling Yunhong is powerful, relying on his Sword Formation and his Middle Vehicle Lifebound Magic Item, the Icy Cold Azure Sea Flying Sword, his strength is comparable to that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer cultivator.

Luo Minghui, however, was a veteran Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer expert and Second Rank Array Formation Master from the Hundred Spirits Sect's Spirit Array Hall. He possessed immense strength and a Lifebound Magic Item.

As for the other cultivators watching, they all showed excitement upon seeing that the two strongest cultivators in Huai River County were about to fight.

After all, Ling Yunhong's danger was none of their concern.

Ling Yunhong and Luo Minghui, who were in the center of the group, agreed to fight. Without saying anything more, they used their spiritual power to take off and ascend to the top of the mountain, which was dozens of feet high, where the Sand Soil Mine was located.

Upon landing, the two immediately unleashed their Law Artifact.

Because this Martial Duel involves the interests of the Sand Soil Mine, Ling Yunhong's first move was a killing blow.

He waved his hand and summoned eighteen Azure Spirit Sword to form Sword Formation. He then used the Melt Word Swordplay Secret to transform them into a seven-zhang-long Sword-Ray.

At the same time, he summoned his Lifebound Magic Item, the Icy Cold Azure Sea Flying Sword, and unleashed a nine-zhang-long Sword-Ray.

In addition, the Azure Sea Heavenly Sword, the natal spell attached to the Azure Sea True Scripture he cultivated, condensed into a dazzling blue sword light ten feet long.

The three Sword-Ray transformed into three Dao Sword and were swiftly unleashed.

On the other side, Luo Minghui was not to be outdone. With a wave of his hand, he summoned twelve red array flags, which formed a red light screen.

These twelve array flags are called the "Small Flame Fire Annihilation Formation". They were made by imitating the Third Rank Low Grade Flame Fire Burning Extermination Grand Array of Mo Congxin, the Spirit Array Spirit Array True Person of the Hundred Spirits Sect. They are Luo Minghui's Lifebound Array Flag.

Although its quality is not among the Higher Vehicle Lifebound Array Flag, it can still be considered a decent Middle Vehicle Lifebound Magic Item, no less than Ling Yunhong's Frost Azure Sea Sword.

Furthermore, thanks to Luo Minghui's nearly 100 years of nurturing, the grade of this set of array flags has been Luo Minghui to the Second Rank High Grade.

Although this formation is an offensive formation, due to its high grade and Luo Minghui's cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer, the red defensive light screen created by the formation is no weaker than the Transformed Defense Light Screen an ordinary Second Rank High Grade defensive magic Law Artifact.

The three powerful Sword-Ray unleashed by Ling Yunhong struck the light screen transformed by the array flags, causing the red light screen to shake continuously.

However, it ultimately did not achieve much success and was blocked by the light barrier.

Luo Minghui was slightly pleased to see that Ling Yunhong's attack could not break through his defense.

"Ling-xiong is ruthless, showing no regard for past friendship. Well then, don't blame me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Minghui made Hand Seals, and the twelve Small Flame Fire Annihilation Formation flags surrounding him flashed red light and quickly turned around, rapidly enveloping the three Dao Sword that were blocked by the light barrier.

It conjured up a vast expanse of flames, trapping it and refining it with the fire.

Then, Luo Minghui waved his hand and took out a fiery red flying sword, which he used to slash at Ling Yunhong's head.

This sword is called the Crimson Flame Sword, and its grade is Second Rank High Grade.

The Crimson Flame Sword was already powerful, and with the addition of Luo Minghui's spiritual power, its power was increased by three-tenths.

When the Crimson Flame Sword struck Ling Yunhong, there was even a sound of air being torn apart, showing its extraordinary momentum.

Ling Yunhong dared not underestimate it, and quickly took out his only Second Rank Low Grade defensive magic Law Artifact Golden Cloud Shield, and poured spiritual power into it to create a golden light screen.

As soon as the light barrier was erected, the Crimson Fire Sword struck it, creating Ripples Marketplace.

"Not good."

Seeing the situation was not good, Ling Yunhong quickly waved his hand and used his Innate Spell, Azure Sea Sky Sword, to condense a dazzling Sword-Ray ten feet long, which he then blasted at the Crimson Fire Sword, barely managing to block it.

This eliminates the risk of the defensive light barrier being shattered.

Ling Yunhong also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. He then waved his hand and patted the Storage Bag at his waist, took out nine long needles from it, and threw them out.

These nine long needles are called Nine Stars Needles, and they are of the Second Rank Low Grade. They were made by Ling Yunhong after the Demon Beast Uprising ended, using the spiritual materials from the Foundation Establishment Demon Beast given to him by Ling Pengyun, along with a piece of second-tier spiritual iron from the Ling Clan.

This Law Artifact was originally prepared for Ling Pengliang.

However, a few days ago, Ling Pengliang failed to Foundation Establishment and it will be difficult for him to Foundation Establishment again in a short period of time. Rather than letting him gather dust in the Clan Repository, Ling Yunhong refined him to increase his own strength.

Although Luo Minghui keenly sensed the nine long needles, the Small Flame Fire Annihilation Formation had already consumed more than 70% of its remaining power in order to trap the three powerful Sword-Ray that Ling Yunhong had previously unleashed.

This also resulted in a significant reduction in the defensive power of the red light barrier that the battle flags had erected to protect him.

The black light formed from the nine long needles struck the same area of the light barrier formed by the array flags one after another.

With their combined efforts, the nine long needles punched a small hole in the array flag's light barrier.

Without the protective array of flags and light barriers, the nine long needles plunged straight in, striking Luo Minghui's head.

However, Luo Minghui was also very experienced in combat. He quickly summoned a Second Rank High Grade earthen-yellow magic shield from his Storage Bag and erected an earthen-yellow light screen.

But at that moment, the nine flying needles suddenly flashed with a magical light, splitting into two, then four, then eight...

In the blink of an eye, a hundred long needles quickly formed and bombarded the earthen-yellow magic shield, stirring up countless small Ripples Marketplace and causing the magic shield to sway violently.

At that moment, Ling Yunhong also swallowed a red pill.

The aura emanating from his body intensified rapidly in the next moment.

In less than half a breath, his aura entered the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, reaching the level of the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.

Ling Yunhong followed suit, once again unleashing the Azure Sea Sky Sword Art attached to his Cultivation Method. He condensed a dazzling blue Sword-Ray, thirteen zhang long, comparable to the full-force attack of Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer cultivator, and slashed it horizontally towards Luo Minghui in the distance.

Luo Minghui was in the distance, was shocked to see the changes in Ling Yunhong in such a short time.

"Spirit Burst Pill?"

"This Ling Yunhong is actually fighting so hard."

The Spirit Burst Pill is a pill that inflicts a thousand damages on the enemy but also eight hundred on the user. After taking it, it can increase a cultivator's spiritual power by about 70% within half an incense stick's time.

However, after the effects of the Spirit Burst Pill off, cultivators will find it difficult to engage in combat for three years.

Once violence is used, it will damage the meridians.

Luo Minghui raised an eyebrow and waved his hand, channeling a stream of spiritual energy into the earthen-yellow magic shield in front of him.

With the support of abundant spiritual energy, the protective shield that had been swaying under the attack of a hundred long needles quickly stabilized.

Subsequently, Luo Minghui also Hand Seals and used the Innate Spell "Flame Fire Annihilation Phoenix" attached to his Cultivation Method, conjuring up a large area of flames and condensing them into a Fire Phoenix fourteen feet in size, carrying bursts of phoenix cries, to meet the oncoming dazzling Sword-Ray.

With their combined strength, the dazzling blue sword shadows and the endless flames of fire surged across the sky.

Its imposing presence stirred up clouds of dust in the surrounding area.

During the clash between the Fire Phoenix and the dazzling Sword-Ray, Luo Minghui, a veteran Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, still had some strength left to spare.

He waved his hand and channeled a stream of spiritual energy into the distant Crimson Fire Sword.

The Crimson Fire Sword flashed with flames, shattering the ten-zhang-long Azure Sea Sky Sword that was blocking it. It then broke through the golden light barrier supported by the golden hair in front of Ling Yunhong and slammed into the body of the Second Rank Low Grade golden magic shield.

In less than half a breath, cracks appeared on the golden magic shield.

Immediately afterwards, the magic shield shattered and came flying in all directions.

Ling Yunhong's internal Qi and Blood surged due to the destruction of his Law Artifact.

"In the end, I was still a step behind in terms of Law Artifact. If I had a Second Rank High Grade magical shield, and my Icy Cold Azure Sea Flying Sword was also of the Second Rank High Grade, with that Spirit Burst Pill, I might not have lost to Luo Minghui."

Forced by the fact that Luo Minghui's Crimson Fire Flying Sword was already at his face, and his only defensive Law Artifact had been destroyed, Ling Yunhong Hand Seals to cast a defensive Law Technique, conjuring a defensive light barrier to block the Crimson Fire Flying Sword. After that, he had no choice but to speak out.

"Luo Daoist Friend's cultivation is profound, and I am ashamed to admit my inferiority. Please accept this flying sword."

Luo Minghui, however, did not hear these words at all, and continued to control the Crimson Fire Flying Sword to attack the defensive light barrier that Ling Yunhong had erected using Law Technique.

In the distance, Ling Pengyun, one of the Ling Clan clan cultivators watching from the sidelines, noticed something was wrong. He glanced at Luo Minghui, his eyes filled with killing intent, and immediately understood Luo Minghui's intentions.

He called out loudly to Ling Pengxing, who was standing to the side.

"Third Brother, that old thief was about to kill Ancestor, but I saved Ancestor."

After saying this, Ling Pengyun immediately patted the spot at his waist, summoning the set of Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords, and quickly unleashed them.

Hearing the greeting, Ling Pengxing noticed that something was wrong with Luo Minghui. He summoned the Gilt Sword from his Storage Bag, quickly activated his Sword Intent, and channeled it into the Gilt Sword.

With the enhancement of Sword Intent, a five-zhang Sword-Ray suddenly burst forth from the tip of the Gilt Sword, and the speed of the sword also increased by three points.

But at that moment, Luo Clan Luo Minghui's Daoist partners, Li Xia and Luo Qiuming, suddenly made their move, using a colorful whip and twelve yellow array flags respectively to block the attacks launched by Ling Pengyun and Ling Pengxing.

"Fellow Ling Daoyou, my husband is currently engaged in a contest with your Ling Clan Head. I hope you will not disturb him," Li Xia, Luo Minghui's Daoist partner, coldly, looking at Ling Pengyun and Ling Pengxing.

"Ling-xiong, stop immediately." Luo Qiuming, who controlled the twelve array flags and conjured a yellow array to trap Ling Pengyun's two Mother-Child Flying Swords, also warned at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun frowned deeply.

At this moment, how could he not know that Luo Clan Luo Minghui, Li Xia, and Luo Qiuming of the Luo family had already planned to kill Ling Yunhong before this Martial Duel?

A surge of anger welled up in his mind.

Although his cultivation level far surpassed that of Luo Qiuming, who single-handedly blocked his flying sword to support Ling Yunhong, he was simply unable to kill Luo Qiuming, who possessed Lifebound Array Flag, in a short period of time.

However, Ling Yunhong, who was fighting Luo Minghui in the distance, could not delay.

In just a few breaths, Ling Yunhong, who has no defensive magic shield, will surely be killed by Luo Minghui's Crimson Fire Flying Sword.

Faced with this predicament, Ling Pengyun turned his gaze to the cultivators from the other three families around him.

"Fellow Daoists of the Wen Clan, Wang Clan, and Liu Clan families, are you really going to watch those three old thieves from the Luo Clan break the rules set for this Martial Duel competition?"

"If our clan Clan Head dies here, do you really think your three families will benefit from it?"
