Chapter 314: All Extinguished
When Guang HuiDaoist released that Third Rank talisman, he felt a bit uneasy, thinking that Aunt Jin would bring out some hidden card like last time to offset the advantage brought by the Third Rank talisman.
As it turned out, Aunt Jin was clearly running out of tricks and couldn't produce any new hidden cards. Items that could withstand the power of a Third Rank talisman were extremely rare for Foundation Building stage cultivators. Just having one such item already showed the profound heritage of the Qiaoshou Sect. They couldn't bring out such items continuously.
If it weren't for Deep EarthSpirit General and Shocking ThunderSpirit General taking the initiative to defend against the humanoid shadow formed by the Third Rank talisman, it's likely that both sides' Foundation Building stage cultivators would have suffered casualties.
The current situation looked very favorable. However, that darned Azure Bamboo guy actually escaped at this critical moment, which annoyed Guang HuiDaoist greatly. If Azure Bamboo had stayed to fight, the odds of Forest Spring Watch winning would undoubtedly be higher. But in this world, there were no shortage of "ifs," and with Azure Bamboo fleeing, Forest Spring Watch lost one of its important commanders, tipping the balance of victory and defeat.
After a bitter battle, Meng Zhang was the first to determine the outcome of his battle. He endured Guang HuiDaoist's attack and used the small Divine Ability Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword to behead Lin Bailin. Although Lin Bailin's head was separated from his body, his face still showed extreme shock and disbelief, which made Meng Zhang feel a bit gloomy.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
Now was not the time for sentimentality. Meng Zhang continued to muster his remaining strength, using a self-damaging secret technique to unleash his full potential and wield the Golden Crow Lantern to refine Guang HuiDaoist alive. Killing two Foundation Building stage opponents in succession took a toll on Meng Zhang as well. He couldn't sustain flight and had to land temporarily to recover.
Meng Zhang knew that even if he won this battle, his injuries were severe, and without three to five years of recuperation, it would be difficult to fully recover. The fight was not over, and it was not the time to rest. Meng Zhang swallowed two supplementing pills to forcibly restore some of his energy before flying back into the sky to continue the battle.
Meng Zhang flew towards the battle group of Yang Xueyi and Guang YuanDaoist. Guang YuanDaoist, being the alchemist of Forest Spring Watch, usually stayed in the sect and managed alchemy-related affairs. He had little experience fighting outsiders, and after reaching the Foundation Building stage, his only combat experience came from sparring with fellow sect members.
Yang Xueyi was even younger than Guang YuanDaoist and had only been at the Foundation Building stage for a few years. However, she firmly suppressed Guang YuanDaoist with her formidable combat strength. Her ever-changing and endless Five Elements spells relentlessly bombarded Guang YuanDaoist, leaving him no room to counterattack.
Guang YuanDaoist was already at a disadvantage, and with the mid-Foundation Building stage cultivator, Meng Zhang, joining the fight, he became visibly panicky. Once panic sets in during battle, mistakes are bound to happen. Before Meng Zhang even made a move, Guang YuanDaoist made a crucial error, which Yang Xueyi promptly seized upon. She released two Second Rank talismans she had personally refined—one fiery dragon spun around Guang YuanDaoist's body, while a wooden spear thrust at him from behind. As Guang YuanDaoist's attention was divided between the two talismans, the soundless Biyun Lanyard flew up from under his feet, entwining around his body and strangling him.
Foundation Building stage cultivators flew through the sky, continuously unleashing various spells upon the ground.
Meanwhile, the Refining Qi stage disciples below struggled to find effective ways to harm the flying opponents.
After several attacks and defenses, the morale of Forest Spring Watch's disciples began to crumble. The Foundation Building stage elders in the sect must have been severely outnumbered and couldn't withstand the enemy's versatile tactics.
As the morale collapsed, the formation of Forest Spring Watch's disciples couldn't be maintained any longer. Many of them left the formation and scattered in all directions to escape.
With the formation broken, the Refining Qi stage cultivators had no effective means to fight against the Foundation Building stage cultivators in the sky. They became lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Seizing the opportunity, the joint forces of the two sects, under the command of Wen Qiansun, counterattacked and charged at the enemy's forces.
By nightfall, Forest Spring Watch's forces were completely defeated. Countless bodies littered the ground, and more Refining Qi stage disciples were desperately fleeing.
As they say, if you don't eliminate the roots, new shoots will grow in the spring. Everyone understood this principle. Not only did the Refining Qi stage disciples of both sects pursue relentlessly, even the Foundation Building stage cultivators set aside their pride and joined the pursuit.
After a night of chasing and killing, the disciples of the Forest Spring Watch were almost wiped out. The disciples of the Forest Mountain School and a few disciples of the Green Bamboo Mountain also suffered the same fate.
