CHAPTER 458: CHAPTER 428: STEM THE TIDE, EARN A TON OF BATTLE MERIT POINTS

Huff, huff, huff.

After Lu Yuanshan slew a Tier Three Demon Beast, on the other side, Xuu Lingxing was desperately wielding the Endless Divine Fire Talisman, striving to intercept the black-striped carving’s onslaught.

A wide expanse of flames surrounded the Flying Ship, forming a Fire Realm that isolated many Demon Birds outside the flames, making them dare not approach the Flying Ship.

As a Tier Three Demon Beast, however, the black-striped carving was not afraid of the flames, brazenly traversing the Fire Realm and launching an attack upon the people on the Flying Ship.

Three or four cultivators fell instantly under its assault, without even a chance to resist.

Lu Zhiwei and a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Dubhe Institute were currently teaming up with Xuu Lingxing to withstand the black-striped carving’s attack.

The Cyan Cold Mirror, a Mountain Peak Spiritual Artifact, streaked rapidly through the air, occasionally clashing with the black-striped carving’s sharp talons with a bang, being blown away, yet continuing to attack.

"Monster!"

Seeing this situation, Lu Yuanshan shouted loudly, maneuvering with the Wind Thunder Wings across the sky, trailing a long black and purple light in the air, like a divine rainbow.

Rapidly closing the distance with the black-striped carving, Lu Yuanshan wielded the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, slashing fiercely at the black-striped carving.

The powerful Crystal Power controlled the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, causing the sword’s blade to surge with Sword Qi, sweeping in all directions, striking fear into the hearts of many cultivators.

Is this the power of a Crystallization Stage Great Cultivator?

Such a thought had just surfaced in their minds, and immediately, they saw the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword sever one of the black-striped carving’s wings with a single stroke.

Faced with such a rapid attack from the Lifebound Flying Sword, the black-striped carving was slower than the Sky-Shaking Red Falcon and couldn’t dodge at all.

Having one wing severed drastically reduced the black-striped carving’s mobility, its expression of anger and pain obvious as it fiercely fluttered its remaining wing towards Lu Yuanshan, barely able to once again unleash its Lifebound Divine Techniques.

Hundreds of black feathers shot out violently, being fiercely twisted by Lu Yuanshan with the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword as they neared him.

This Lifebound Flying Sword rotated, shredding all those black feathers into pieces.

Lu Yuanshan himself, led by the Wind Thunder Wings, descended in front of the black-striped carving, a black-gold Flying Sword shooting from his waist, stabbing towards the black-striped carving.

This sword, was the Golden Crow Sword!

The Golden Crow Sword was less than a zhang away from the black-striped carving. At such close range, the carving could not dodge, nor could it counter with other moves.

In the next instant, with a splattering sound, the Golden Crow Sword chopped off the black-striped carving’s head, successfully slaying this Tier Three Demon Beast as well.

"This Sect Leader of the Cyan Mountain Sect is truly fierce!"

Many cultivators who witnessed the process of Lu Yuanshan dealing with the black-striped carving couldn’t help but inhale sharply, marveling at the strength of Lu Yuanshan.

As for why Lu Yuanshan’s cultivation had surged significantly in such a short time and reached the Crystallization Stage, perhaps only by asking Lu Yuanshan would one know.

However, at this moment, no one dared to inquire about this point.

Every cultivator has their own secrets, and these secrets are usually not disclosed to outsiders.

Especially when it pertains to the enhancement of power.

"Brother, is it father assisting you?"

Witnessing Lu Yuanshan’s unmatched prowess, single-handedly slaying two Tier Three Demon Beasts and resolving the significant threat before them, Lu Zhiwei was somewhat dumbfounded and couldn’t help but communicate a question.

Lu Yuanshan’s reply quickly came through the communication.

"Indeed, it was father who acted!"

As the words fell, Lu Yuanshan’s voice carried a tone of excitement.

"Our father is truly something!"

After collecting the black-striped carving’s corpse, Lu Yuanshan simultaneously wielded the Golden Crow Sword and Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, beginning to sweep the battlefield, clearing out the remaining Demon Beasts.

There were still twenty-one Tier Two Demon Birds remaining at the scene, the strongest among these Tier Two Demon Beasts having reached the Ninth Layer Foundation Establishment.

Against Lu Yuanshan’s assault, they could do nothing to resist.

A golden and a blue Flying Sword crisscrossed the surroundings, slaughtering ruthlessly, with a continuous burst of blood and flesh sounds, intermixed with the panicked cries and roars of the Demon Birds.

Lu Yuanshan was like slaughtering chickens, swiftly slaying over a dozen Demon Birds.

The others responded at this time too, all wielding their Magical Artifacts to clear the remaining Demon Beasts.

And Xuu Lingxing, leveraging the power of the Endless Divine Fire Talisman, soon slew two more late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts.

Not long after, the swarm of Demon Birds that attacked the Flying Ship was completely cleared, leaving not a single survivor.

This crisis was turned around thanks to Lu Yuanshan’s intervention.

However, after resolving this crisis, Lu Yuanshan didn’t stop there, but rather flew down from the ship, led by the Wind Thunder Wings.

"You all return to Purple Fire Castle first, I will return later!"

"Everyone, take care!"

With that said, Lu Yuanshan transformed into a long rainbow, flying towards the direction of Bone Demon Cliff.

Many cultivators saw this and were left staring at each other, pondering what this Sect Leader Lu was up to.

Then, a glance at the direction Lu Yuanshan flew, which was where Bone Demon Cliff was located, and recalling the recent appearance of a new wave of beast tide there, they suddenly realized.

This Sect Leader Lu probably hadn’t had enough of killing and intended to clear out that batch of beasts too.

Wait... dealing with a herd of beasts alone?!!

Bone Demon Cliff, where tens of thousands of Demon Beasts were active, appeared as small as ants under Lu Yuanshan’s gaze.

He came here under Lu Ping’s command.

Earlier, Lu Ping gave Lu Yuanshan a message.

"The Crystal Power can be maintained for twelve hours; afterwards, it’s best to make full use of this power. Why not go clean out some Demon Beasts and collect a hefty amount of Battle Merit Points?"

Thus, under Lu Ping’s guidance, Lu Yuanshan flew to Bone Demon Cliff, ready to deal with the newly appeared Demon Beast group here.

While the Crystal Power remained, he planned to slay as many Demon Beasts as possible.

The more Battle Merit Points, the more Heavenly and Earthly Treasures they could exchange for at the Dubhe Institute.

Lu Yuanshan wouldn’t miss the opportunity to gather Battle Merit Points like this; his excitement was palpable, prompting him to fly over without a word, led by the Wind Thunder Wings.

Swish!

With the swords drawn, the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword and Golden Crow Sword under his command slashed towards some Tier Two Demon Beasts within the Beast Group.

Lu Yuanshan flew low above the Beast Group, closing the distance.

Seeing a Human Race Cultivator taking the initiative to approach, many Demon Beasts within the Beast Group instantly turned red-eyed, growling greedily at Lu Yuanshan, wanting to devour him whole.

However, Lu Yuanshan’s strength was not something they could contend with.

The Golden Crow Sword first showcased its divine might, slashing towards a late-stage Foundation Establishment Bear Demon.
