The sky above the sea ind was exceptionally azure, with not a cloud in sight.


    A flock of third-rank Sea Cloud Birds pped their huge wings ferociously. Under the cover of a blue Spirit Light, a barrage of tremendous Wind des continuously fanned out, while their ws constantly reached out, attempting to grab everything around them.


    However, the Purple Wood Profound Heavenly Sword Formation was focused on endlessly generating Sword Qi. With the Nine Swords Formation supporting each other, not to mention the early-stage third-rank Sea Cloud Birds, even the mid-stage third-rank Sea Cloud Birds couldn''t break free.


    Five third-rank Sea Cloud Birds, despite their incredible speed, could only be trapped, emitting angry and anxious shrieks.


    As Lin Shiming formed the hand signs, the sword array suddenly changed from trapping to killing. One after another, Sword Lights shed out, ying the five early-stage third-rank Sea Cloud Birds.


    Since the formation of Sword Intent, his strength in controlling sword arrays had greatly increased.


    Each Formation Sword released Sword Qi that was richer and more lethal than before.


    Each stream of Sword Qi carried the murderous force of the Grass Character Sword Technique, traversing horizontally and vertically, ying heaven and earth!


    While Lin Shiming was ying the five early-stage third-rank Sea Cloud Birds, Lin Xianzhi hacked down two mid-stage third-rank Sea Cloud Birds with two strikes.


    The Qinglian Sword transformed into a Sword Light, hanging high in the void.


    Streams of Qinglian Sword Qi, a blend of blue and gold, were both splendid and sharp.


    Below the sword, Lin Xianzhi stood in mid-air, closely watching the other Lin Family disciples surround and attack the second-rank Sea Cloud Birds.


    Should a crisis arise, Lin Xianzhi would immediately send Sword Qi to assist.


    Moreover, the Qinglian Sword hanging high formed a Sword Screen. If any second-rank Sea Cloud Birds tried to flee, they too would be in by the Sword Qi.


    There has never been a practice of releasing captured enemies back into the wild in the Lin Family tradition.


    Not even when ites to a single bird!


    Seeing Lin Xianzhi dispatch several fleeing second-rank Sea Cloud Birds, the other Lin Family cultivators immediately grew anxious.


    These second-rank Sea Cloud Birds were their prey. In an instant, Spirit Light was released, various Magic Artifacts flew out, slicing toward the Sea Cloud Birds.


    The Thunder Hook and the Sprinting Thunder Sword from Lin Shilei flew out together. Since this was a secret family operation, he no longer needed to conceal his Thunder Spirit Root. Unrestrainedly stimting it, lightning and Sword Light intertwined, quickly ying three second-rank Sea Cloud Birds.


    Lin Shilei fought more and more bravely, delighting in the battle, as these second-rank Sea Cloud Birds posed no threat to him!


    Adjacent to him, Lin Shizhong cooperated with Lin Shijin. An Artifact Refiner and a Talisman Maker, when the two worked together, their coordination was seamless.


    Streams of Spirit Talismans overwhelmed the Sea Cloud Birds, followed by wave after wave of Magic Artifacts shattering the birds'' protective blue Spirit Light, killing them on the spot.


    The other Lin Family disciples also exhibited their own methods of attack.


    Only Lin Zecheng was extremely anxious. As a fourthyer Qi Cultivation practitioner, even though he practiced the Fierce Sun True Scripture and possessed a Dual Spirit Root, he was utterly powerless against thete-stage second-rank Sea Cloud Birds that he faced.


    After all, this was not an externalparison where they could line up one by one!


    Soon, after sending a message to several others, Lin Zecheng found coborators. With so many Sea Cloud Birds, some were bound to flee.


    With the help of other cultivators, Lin Zecheng finally managed to y a Sea Cloud Bird.


    Of course, he could only im a small part of this Sea Cloud Bird, but even so, it was enough to excite him, for this was his first time ying a Demonic Beast above his level. On Fangmu Mountain, he never had the opportunity to y a beast of the same rank.


    In the high sky, Lin Xianzhi constantly nodded his head.


    The cultivators of the Shi and Ze generation had not disappointed him.


    Of course, he cast his gaze once more towards the high skies above the sea ind.


    At some point, Lin Shiming had taken out an Array te.


    The Array te was covered in flowing Spirit Patterns, clearly showing it was a third-rank Mountain-Protecting Formation.


    Lin Xianzhi nodded in satisfaction.


    Lin Shiming had never let him down. Composed in victory and stalwart in defeat, careful with every step, this was the reason Lin Xianzhi favored Lin Shiming even more.


    It was these details, this meticulousness, that could support a cultivator to go further in the Immortal Cultivation World!


    The Transmission Formation brought them here, even if there were no threats on the sea ind itself. But deep in the sea outside, everything was still unknown.


    But the Mountain Protection Array could ensure they always had a way out, taking precautions before it was toote.


    As Lin Shiming ced a set of Array tes on the ground and shimmering Spirit Light scattered, instantly, array gs like Spirit Arrows flew to the four corners of the sea ind, settling into the foundations of the formation.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Each foundation radiated strong Spirit Light, weaving together into a huge light curtain, enveloping most of the ind within.


    As the protector''s Spirit Shield formed, Lin Shiming finally sighed with relief.


    It was only then that they could truly consider themselves firmly established on the sea ind.


    Of course, they still needed to explore the sea ind and its surroundings.


    Once the Mountain Protection Array waspleted, Lin Shiming looked towards the interior of the formation.


    Just as thest streak of blue light vanished, Lin Zecheng held a Crimson Sun Sword, forged from Golden Iron Stone, and yed a Sea Cloud Bird.


    "Seventh Great-Grandfather, may I im this Sea Cloud Bird as my own kill?" Lin Zecheng asked somewhat sheepishly, bowing to Lin Xianzhi.


    Lin Zecheng, of course, could not have in the Sea Cloud Bird on his own.


    This final Sea Cloud Bird, attempting to escape, was gravely wounded by the Sword Qi from Lin Xianzhi and then dropped right in front of him.


    Lin Zekong, naturally excited, delivered the final blow to thest Sea Cloud Bird with a single sword strike.


    "It counts!" Lin Xianzhi responded with a kind smile.


    "Clean up the battlefield. Shiyun, refine the Mountain Protection Array further!" As the battle concluded, Lin Shiming descended as well.


    He was not an Array Master, so even with an Array te, he was unable to fully establish the Formation on his own.


    In the absence of Lin Houshou, the most skilled in array formations here was Lin Shiyun.
