Fearsome Qin Shi
Four days later.
Led by Qin Shi and others, Ling Pengyun ventured deep into Serpent Dragon Lake, covering more than 15,000 li, and finally stopped outside a dense forest.
"Ling-xiong, that group of Black Rock Bear is located in the deepest part of this forest."
After giving Ling Pengyun a brief introduction, Qin Shi led the group away from the area and into a desolate valley several miles away to rest and recover the spiritual energy consumed by their continuous journey over the past four days.
The next day, early morning.
Led by Qin Shi, the group left the desolate valley and stealthily entered the forest.
After going deep into the forest for about five miles, the ordinary trees in front of them turned into a large grove of orange trees, enough to fill a dozen or so.
It is autumn now, and the orange tree is full of bright yellow oranges.
A scent of oranges wafted through the air.
Within a mile or two of the orange grove, there are dozens of robust black bears, each over ten feet tall and covered in black fur, scattered under dozens of orange trees, picking oranges to eat.
"They wiped out those dozens of Black Rock Bear that were only at the Qi Training Stage."
Qin Shi gave the order.
No sooner had he said this than Qin Shi shouted in a low voice.
Immediately afterwards, his body swelled up, he patted the Storage Bag at his waist, took out a Yellow Iron Rod, and with a leap from both feet, he sprang up and charged towards the group of Black Rock Bear.
Just as Qin Shi's aura was leaking out, the dozens of Qi Training Stage Black Rock Bear in the orange grove also noticed the arrival of Qin Shi and his group.
Although these Qi Training Stage Black Rock Bear Black Rock Bear were not highly cultivated or intelligent, they were not stupid and sensed the powerful Foundation Establishment pressure emanating from Qin Shi and the others.
When faced with an opponent they cannot defeat, they instinctively roar for help.
Instantly, the roars of bears echoed across the sky.
But the next moment, Qin Shi was already in front of them, and he swung his yellow long stick, which contained tens of thousands of pounds of force, and swept it fiercely.
Instantly, the heads of three Qi Training Stage Black Rock Bear were smashed by the long staff.
Then, Qin Shi, like a humanoid beast, rampaged through the Black Rock Bear pack. No Black Rock Bear could withstand his charge and was smashed to pieces.
The attacks launched by Ling Pengyun and others followed.
In just ten breaths, the dozens of Qi Training Stage Black Rock Bear were all killed by the group.
However, the crowd did not lower their guard because of this.
From deep within the orange grove came the sound of heavy footsteps.
About ten breaths later, four enormous black bears, each five zhang tall and exuding the aura of Foundation Establishment, led three or four hundred Qi Training Stage Black Rock Bear out from the depths of the orange grove.
"Gentlemen, although those three or four hundred Qi Training Stage Black Rock Bear are not highly cultivated, their numbers are considerable. If left unchecked, they will pose a threat to us."
"Ling-xiong and Junior Brother Xue, you two both possess the ability to launch attacks over a wide area. Those three or four hundred Qi Training Stage Black Rock Bear are yours to handle. Junior Sister Yan, Zhang Shidi, Junior Sister Ye, and I will form an array first to deal with those four Foundation Establishment Realm Black Rock Bear."
After Qin Shi finished speaking, he took out a yellow array plate and three yellow array flags.
Yan Siyi, Zhang Chuan, Ye Yu, who were standing beside him, each took out three array flags.
A total of twelve earthen-yellow array flags flew out swiftly, surrounding the four Foundation Establishment Realm Black Rock Bear Black Rock Bear herd that had rushed in from two or three miles away.
"Form ranks."
Qin Shi used his fingers to Hand Seals, condensing a Law Seals and sending it into the yellow array plate.
The yellow array plate trembled, and the twelve array flags flashed with yellow light, transforming into a yellow light curtain that enveloped the four Foundation Establishment Realm Black Rock Bear.
At the same time, the ground beneath the four Black Rock Bear turned into a mud pit, trapping Black Rock Bear and dragging Black Rock Bear downwards.
Even though these four Black Rock Bear possessed immense strength, only the Black Rock Bear King, who was at the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, could barely break free from the mud pit's grip.
However, although the bear king escaped its predicament, it was difficult to shatter the yellow light barrier created by the array in a short time.
With this dragging, the countless Black Mud in the mud pit beneath its feet spread over its feet again, trapping them.
Upon seeing this scene, Ling Pengyun's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
"It's actually a Second Rank High Grade Trapping Array."
This level of formation is something that even the Ling Clan doesn't possess, and even the Luo Clan, which was recently destroyed by the Ling Clan and relies on formations for its survival, doesn't have it.
It is extremely rare to see one on the market.
Even if a formation of this caliber were to appear, its price would be at least between six and eight thousand Spirit Stone Spirit Stone, making it quite valuable.
"I didn't expect that Brother Qin and the others could even access formations of this caliber. Afterwards, I should ask Fellow Daoist Qin, Fairy Yan, and others if they could help me obtain a set of Second Rank High Grade killing or Trapping Array. If this can be accomplished, we can set it up on the Clan Mountain, which will make the Lineage even safer."
Ling Pengyun muttered to himself.
Coming to his senses, he waved his hand and patted the Beast Taming Pouch at his waist, summoning the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Immortal Spirit Crane King that he never left his side.
"Immortal Spirit, ascend quickly to the high ground and join me in attacking the Qi Training Stage bear demon among that group of bear demons."
"At the same time, be vigilant about the surroundings. If any other Demon Beast are attracted by the battle here, inform me immediately."
Upon hearing the order, the Immortal Spirit Crane King, who had just emerged from the Beast Taming Pouch, immediately complied. With a flap of its wings, it swiftly ascended into the air, surrounded by a constant stream of gale-force winds and feathered arrows.
Within a short time, it transformed into a Feather Arrow Gale Wind Tornado, swiftly unleashing itself.
This Feather Arrow Gale Wind Tornado was incredibly fast, quickly covering a distance of one or two miles, and engulfing many Qi Training Stage bear demons within it.
Within the tornado, two hundred arrows, each as sharp as a blade, pierced deeply into the bodies of the bear demons.
Ling Pengyun then took out the set of eighteen Azure Spirit Sword from his Storage Bag and Hand Seals the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation by making hand seals.
Two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) of Sword-Ray immediately emerged from the tips of the eighteen Azure Spirit Sword.
Around the sword, ten or twenty small Sword-Ray, each an inch long, also appeared.
"Go."
Eighteen Azure Spirit Sword, carrying one or two hundred Sword Light Torrent, transformed into a long dragon, plunging into the group of three or four hundred Qi Training Stage Black Rock Bear. They tore the Black Rock Bear along the way to pieces, and not a single Black Rock Bear could withstand a single encounter with this Sword Formation.
The Talisman Crafter Xue Chao, who was standing to the side, was not idle either.
He waved his hand and took out twelve Spirit Talisman Cave crackling with lightning, which formed a Little Great Thunder Array that directly enveloped more than two hundred Qi Training Stage Black Rock Bear.
Within the formation, bolts of lightning continuously struck down, blasting the Qi Training Stage Black Rock Bear within into ashes.
Under the powerful offensive of Ling Pengyun and Xue Chao, the three or four hundred Qi Training Stage Black Rock Bear were wiped out in less than half a cup of tea's time.
At this moment, Qin Shi and the others also removed the Second Rank High Grade Trapping Array.
This Trapping Array has no killing move and no offensive power whatsoever. Moreover, it consumes a great deal of spiritual energy. In just half a cup of tea's time, Qin Shi and the others had consumed most of the spiritual energy in their Dantian.
If this continues, their spiritual energy will likely be exhausted before Ling Pengyun and Xue Chao can kill the four Foundation Establishment Realm Black Rock Bear trapped in the formation.
"Ling-xiong, Junior Brother Xue, come quickly to help."
"As before, Ling-xiong, you first hold off the other two Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment and one Early-Stage Foundation Establishment bear demons, while we kill the bear king."
Qin Shi gave a greeting and spat out a set of Earth Yellow Full Body Armor, no bigger than a fist.
The fist-sized Full Body Armor quickly grew larger as soon as it entered the outside world, and automatically donned itself onto Qin Shi's body.
The next moment, Qin Shi gripped the yellow staff beside him tightly, and with a burst of speed, rushed towards the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Late-Stage Foundation Establishment bear king a mile or two away. He swung the Yellow Iron Rod in his hand and slammed it down on the bear king's head.
But the bear king reacted extremely quickly, raising its thick right arm to block.
However, Qin Shi's attack was not weak.
That Yellow Iron Rod was a Second Rank High Grade Law Artifact, carrying a force of 70,000 jin. With the enhancement of Qin Shi, a Body Cultivator, this strike contained at least 90,000 jin of force, comparable to a full-force strike from a Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer cultivator.
Even though the bear king, who was at the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, possessed profound cultivation and a powerful physique, his right arm was still broken by the long staff.
The bear demon felt the pain and instinctively pulled its right arm back.
The long stick swiftly struck the bear king on the head.
"Boom."
The bear king was struck hard on the head and became somewhat dazed, his body swaying constantly, clearly stunned by the blow.
However, the bear recovered quickly, after all, it was a strong bear.
The bear king roared at Qin Shi in pain, and a layer of yellow rock armor appeared on its body. Its right arm, which had been broken by the force, was also restored in an instant.
It forcefully swung its claws out, striking Qin Shi, who was standing right next to it.
Upon seeing this, Qin Shi quickly held up the yellow staff in his hand to block in front of him.
"Bang."
A loud bang was heard.
Qin Shi was sent flying dozens of feet away like a cannonball.
Pfft.
A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.
However, this was not a big problem. It was just that his Qi and Blood were churning. After Qin Shi used his spiritual power to suppress the churning Qi and Blood in his body, he charged towards the bear king again.
"This Fellow Daoist Qin is truly a formidable individual."
Ling Pengyun, watching from behind, marveled inwardly at Qin Shi's incredible resilience.
