Ling Pengxing's Obsessive Strike

The Lingxiao Mountain.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ling Pengxing's sharp, blood-red eyes flashed with countless memories.

"My Lineage has provided me with countless forms of assistance during my more than seventy years of Daoist practice."

"In today's battle... I must protect my Lineage."

The next moment, Ling Pengxing waved his hand and patted the Storage Bag at his waist, taking out the only Second Rank High Grade "Spirit Burst Pill" in the clan and swallowing it.

At the same time, he was constantly reciting Method Formula.

Then, his aura surged.

Surprisingly, his once full head of black hair turned snow-white at a visible speed.

The Spirit Burst Pill has no such side effects, so it's clear that Ling Pengxing used other methods to enhance his cultivation, namely the powerful, desperate method that consumes his lifespan.

"You scoundrels of the Poison Blood Demon Sect, today I will make you pay with your lives."

Ling Pengxing roared, and his cultivation level surged to the Consummation Realm Foundation Establishment in just a few breaths.

He made a hand Hand Seals, and the twenty-zhang Sword-Ray light carried by the Geng Metal Purple Star Flying Sword flashed brightly, growing again to a full twenty-five zhang in length.

The sword slammed into the Magic Treasure Cone Shape "Poison Blood Skull Flying Sword" that was entangled with it, sending it flying several meters away with a single blow.

Then, the Geng Metal Purple Star Flying Sword, carrying a twenty-five-zhang Sword-Ray, transformed into a stream of purple star light and directly struck the dark green shield erected by the Magic Treasure Cone Shape "Poison Blood Skull Cover".

In a mere instant, the sword struck three times in succession, directly creating a huge gap in the Poison Blood Skull Cover.

The Geng Metal Purple Star Flying Sword also rushed in, transforming into a stream of light and directly killing a Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator.

Then, the sword struck a Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator.

Although the Devil Cultivator used various methods to erect defensive light barriers, it was impossible for him to withstand the "Geng Metal Purple Star Flying Sword," which had an attack power far exceeding that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Completion cultivator.

In less than half a breath, the second Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator was killed.

At this moment, the cone-shaped "Poison Blood Skull Flying Sword," the Magic Treasure Cone Shape that had been knocked away by the Geng Metal Purple Star Flying Sword, arrived to provide support and blocked the Geng Metal Purple Star Flying Sword.

Even so, the aftershocks of the fierce battle between the Geng Metal Purple Star Flying Sword and the Poison Blood Skull Flying Sword still made the Qi Refining Devil Cultivator inside the Poison Blood Skull Cover feel extremely uncomfortable.

Furthermore, the Geng Metal Purple Star Flying Sword would even unleash Sword-Ray to slay those Qi Training Stage Devil Cultivator.

In an instant, the area within the poison shield conjured by the extremely safe Poison Blood Skull Cover resembled a sword domain.

One after another, Devil Cultivator in the Qi Training Stage died under the Sword-Ray of the Geng Metal Purple Star Flying Sword.

The Devil Cultivator Qi Refining survived inside the shield witnessed the power of the Geng Metal Purple Star Flying Sword and dared not linger, quickly running out of the protection of the Poison Blood Skull Cover.

However, this move played right into Ling Pengxing's calculations.

With a flick of his Daoist robe, he summoned a Second Rank High Grade Purple Star Miasma Piercing Awl.

This broken miasma cone transformed into a purple starlight, continuously reaping the lives of those Qi Training Stage Devil Cultivator who were no longer protected by the Poison Blood Skull Cover.

In just five breaths, dozens of Qi Training Stage Devil Cultivator died at Ling Pengxing's hands.

The Ling Clan Qi Refining in the mountains also took the opportunity to kill a hundred Qi Training Stage Devil Cultivator.

As a result, the number of Qi Training Stage Devil Cultivator has been halved. Originally there were seven hundred Qi Training Stage Devil Cultivator, but now there are only three hundred left.

This situation also enraged the leader of the demonic sect.

He quickly rearranged the defensive Magic Treasure Cone Shape "Poison Blood Skull Cover," to construct a defense that enveloped the remaining three hundred-odd Qi Training Stage Devil Cultivator.

Then, without holding back, he unleashed his full power, activating the "Poison Blood Skull Flying Sword" to engage in a fierce battle with the Geng Metal Purple Star Flying Sword.

With such importance attached to it, the leader of the Demonic Sect finally managed to block the Geng Metal Purple Star Flying Sword.

Meanwhile, at the Lingxiao Mountain.

Ling Pengxing, surrounded by Sword Qi and resembling a contemporary Sword Saint, now had half of his once black hair turned white.

Seeing that his methods were still blocked, the fierce light in his eyes intensified.

"Is that still not enough?"

"Then let's unleash another Blood Burst Technique!"

Ling Pengxing roared.

A crimson glow erupted from his body, and his Blood Qi burned like magma, causing his aura to surge.

The Liquid Spiritual Power within his Dantian was compressed even more rapidly, gradually turning into a solid state.

When the surge of energy stopped, nearly half of the Liquid Spiritual Power in his Dantian had solidified.

His aura far surpassed that of a typical Foundation Establishment Consummation Realm, and could barely be described as a "Pseudo-Core Realm" cultivator.

The side effects of this enhancement were also severe. Ling Pengxing's Blood Qi was rapidly burned at a visible speed, and his face turned deathly pale in an instant.

The rate at which his black hair turned white also accelerated.

Wrinkles began to appear rapidly on her face.

However... Ling Pengxing didn't care about any of that.

He now has only one thought: to protect the Ling Clan at all costs.

Perhaps it was this willingness to die that allowed him to reach a higher level in Sword Dao.

His body was surrounded by Sword Qi, which, like a swimming dragon, stirred up countless gusts of wind.

Even his eyes emitted streaks of Geng Metal Sword Qi.

A flash of inspiration crossed his eyes, and a smile he had never shown before appeared on his pale face.

"So... this is the Sword Dao."

As soon as he finished speaking, his Sword Qi aura soared into the sky, and the surrounding forces made his Sword Qi even more fierce.

Even the Bright Moon in the darkness was drawn by the overwhelming Sword Qi.

The Moonlight Power merged into the endless Sword Qi, elevating it to Sword Qi.

Subsequently, Ling Pengxing unleashed his core Sword Dao technique, the "Geng Metal Sword Seed".

This Geng Metal Sword Seed transformed into a foot-long sword, flew into the highest sky, and the endless Moonlight Power merged into its body.

After absorbing enough of the endless Moonlight Power, the pure golden Geng Jin sword turned into White Gold.

Immediately afterwards, the White Gold sword flew into the "Geng Metal Purple Star Flying Sword" outside, which carried Sword-Ray of twenty-five feet.

"Star Metal Style"

"Bright Moon!"

The Geng Metal Purple Star Flying Sword trembled slightly, gleaming with dazzling White Gold light.

The entire flying sword also turned White Gold.

However, the Sword-Ray that this sword supported did not increase but instead decreased.

However, after a short while, the Sword-Ray that was twenty-five feet long returned to the sword's original form.

As if it could not withstand the immense power within it, cracks began to appear on the surface of the sword.

"Destroy!"

This White Gold sword, carrying a desperate strike, shattered countless demonic energies around it, like a Bright Moon gliding across the night, and struck the twenty-five-zhang Sword-Ray that had surged from the "Poison Blood Skull Flying Sword" that was entangled with it.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound echoed through the air.

The twenty-five-zhang Sword-Ray supported by the Poison Blood Skull Flying Sword was directly crushed, and even the tip of the sword was directly blasted off by the "White Gold Sword".

It should be noted that this Poison Blood Skull Flying Sword is a precious magic weapon in the Magic Treasure Cone Shape. It was created by successive leaders of the Poison Blood Demon Sect using the blood of hundreds of thousands of mortals.

Now, although the flying sword is not destroyed, the tip of the sword is broken, and the sword's power is less than 50%.

The White Gold sword that had struck successfully still had power left, sending the tipless Poison Blood Skull Flying Sword flying several feet away, heading straight for the Demonic Foundation Establishment Completion.

Upon seeing the situation before him, the cult leader showed a hint of fear on his face.

He quickly activated another Magic Treasure Cone Shape "Poison Blood Skull Cover," which erected a shield to protect him.

However, this shield was just broken by Ling Pengxing, and now its power is less than 70%.

The shield shattered before it could hold for even half a breath, and the White Gold sword plunged straight in, cleaving the demonic sect leader's body in two.

The White Gold sword also exhausted its remaining power, turning into fragments that fell to the ground, devoid of any luster.

The Geng Metal Sword Seed, the Geng Metal Cloud-Piercing Sword, and the eighteen Purple Star Flying Sword that were previously integrated into this sword are all gone.

Surprisingly, despite the immense effort, the demonic sect leader's corpse, cut in two, did not show any blood. Instead, it dissipated naturally into countless streams of demonic energy.

Meanwhile, the true form of the Demonic Cult Leader had already appeared several feet away.

Even the cult leader who escaped was not in a good state. His demonic energy was extremely low, and his face, hidden beneath the black veil, was deathly pale.

This was all because of the "Substitute Technique" he had just used.

Although this technique is powerful and can avoid death, the price is equally high. It requires consuming 70% of a cultivator's Qi and Blood to condense a substitute with the exact same aura as the cultivator.

"Damn it, how did this swordsman unleash such a powerful attack?"

The leader of the demonic sect cursed under his breath.

In Lingxiao Mountain.

Ling Pengxing, who was just moments ago like Sword Saint, has now become a hunched old man with wrinkles all over his face, and his once sharp eyes have become cloudy.

His Sword Qi had long since dissipated, and his life force was also fading away at an extremely rapid pace.

"If I were stronger, if I had cultivated more diligently in my younger years, if my Law Artifact were better... this man would surely die today!"

"Unfortunately, now... it's all just empty talk."

"Third Grandfather, Eighth Brother... please don't blame me... for failing to protect... the Lineage."

Ling Pengxing's eyes darkened, and two hot tears fell to the ground.

He collapsed to the ground, barely clinging to life; perhaps the next moment would be...

"Third Brother."

Seeing Ling Pengxing's appearance, Ling Penglin was shocked and quickly stepped forward to investigate.

When they realized that Ling Pengxing's aura was almost gone, his Dantian and meridians had been shattered by the burst of solid spiritual power, his foundation was broken, and his life force was almost gone.

She was immediately saddened.

"Third Brother..."

Fortunately, there was an item in the Lineage Clan Repository that could enhance lifespan. She quickly retrieved it and stuffed it into the mouth of Ling Pengxing, who had fallen into a coma.

With the help of the longevity-enhancing substance, Ling Pengxing managed to hold on to his last breath.

Ling Penglin, who is usually gentle, now has a resolute expression.

"Fellow mountain clansmen, the Devil Cultivator outside are powerful. Third Brother has fallen, and there is no one to stop that powerful demonic sect leader. Our clan 'Mountain Protection Formation will surely be breached soon."

"It will be difficult for other Lineage to provide support in a short time."

"Follow me and use our desperate measures. Once our Clan Mountain is breached, we will all face certain death."

"Rather than that... it would be much better to take a few Devil Cultivator with me."

Upon hearing this, Ling Penglin swallowed a Spirit Burst Pill and immediately unleashed two desperate techniques: Blood Burning Technique and Spirit Burst Technique.

In an instant, her cultivation level broke through from the Foundation Establishment Third Layer to the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer level.

With her formidable cultivation, the Clan Protection Array she controlled became several times more powerful.

The temperature within a ten-mile radius of Lingxiao Mountain dropped rapidly, and countless snowflakes inexplicably fell in the vast darkness, merging into the Ling Clan's protective formation.

The protective formation flashed with cold light, unleashing countless icy arrows that caused the Devil Cultivator outside the mountain to scream in agony.

Even the Demonic Sect Leader, who Foundation Establishment Completion, had his strength greatly reduced due to the excessive consumption of his vital Qi and Blood from using the "Substitute Technique." He had no choice but to avoid the attack and do his best to support the "Poison Blood Skull Cover," whose power had been halved, to block the incoming ice arrows.

At the same time, the other two Foundation Establishment in Lingxiao Mountain, Ling Pengqiu and Ling Pengshan, were filled with righteous indignation upon seeing Ling Pengxing's miserable state and Ling Penglin's desperate act.

They were also aware of the current crisis; once their offensive faltered, the Devil Cultivator outside would attack the clan's protective formation.

Once the formation is broken, they will all die.

Immediately, the two hardened their hearts and used desperate measures.

The other Qi Refining cultivators of the Ling Clan were in the same boat. None of those who could become cultivators were fools. Everyone understood that in this battle, either the Devil Cultivator outside the mountain would die, or they themselves would die.

But if they die, Clan Mountain is destroyed, the Ling Clan will suffer more than just the deaths of these few people.

The entire Ling Clan Territory will inevitably become a dead zone because of that group of Devil Cultivator.

And they will become the sinners of the Ling Clan.

It was precisely because the Ling Clan cultivators guarding the mountain fought so desperately that they managed to inflict heavy casualties on the Devil Cultivator outside the mountain.

Of the Devil Cultivator who had reached the Qi Training Stage, only a hundred remained.

Of the five Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator elders who remained, two were killed, leaving only three.

The Foundation Establishment Completion Sect leader, whose strength had been greatly reduced due to the depletion of his Qi and Blood, was targeted by the Ling Clan. His Poison Blood Skull Cover was shattered once again, leaving the sect leader in a sorry state.

However, this advantage did not last long.

In just a hundred breaths, the dozens of the Ling Clan cultivators, Ling Penglin, Ling Pengshan, and Ling Pengqiu who had used various desperate methods all fell into the side effects of these methods, such as exhaustion of lifespan and pain in their meridians.

Even more tragically, a dozen or so older Yun Generation cultivators, already quite old, exhausted their last bit of life force and passed away while sitting in meditation due to this desperate method.

The remaining Ling Clan cultivators were not dead, but they were all barely alive and had aged considerably.

They were also out of the strength to fight again.

Only the group of Demon Beast raised by the Ling Clan family in the mountains, and the Immortal Spirit Crane King, were still desperately casting Law Technique to bombard the Devil Cultivator outside the mountains.

However, among this group of Demon Beast, only the Immortal Spirit Crane King had reached the Foundation Establishment, while most of the other Demon Beast only had the early or mid-stage Qi Refining Qi Refining.

With the power of these Demon Beast alone, it would be difficult to contend with the Devil Cultivator outside the mountain.

In an instant, the more than two hundred Qi Refining Devil Cultivator cultivators, three Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator elders, and the leader of the demonic sect outside the mountain also launched attacks to bombard the Ling Clan's protective formation, causing the formation to shake continuously, and some were even blown away.

Meanwhile, the Ling Clan family members, still in the mountains, could only helplessly watch everything outside.
