Chapter 16: Great Victory

Though not as large as the one before, it too emitted the formidable aura of a late-stage Second Rank.

For the cultivators at the sixth and seventh stages of Qi Cultivation to be approached so closely by such a formidable Demonic Beast was a catastrophic disaster.

The only thing they could manage was to release Defense Talismans of the superior grade of the Second Rank to save their lives.

However, the nearby strike of an iron rod, compared to a distant throw, was at least several times more powerful. With a booming crash, the Spirit Shield shattered.

The iron rod, carrying its terrifying momentum, continued to slash down. Several cultivators from the Lin Family at the sixth and seventh levels were smashed into a pulp, their paths ended and their bodies perished.

"Quick, into my Formation!" Without time to mourn, Lin Houshou shouted loudly and with a sweep of his hand, he released a dreadful superior-grade ice-based Spell Talisman.

Countless ice cones viciously struck at the Red-haired Demon Monkey.

Yet, the Red-haired Demon Monkey's skin, covered with red fur that shimmered with a red glow, seemed to imitate red Spirit Armor. Even the superior-grade ice cones of the Spirit Talisman could not penetrate the body of the Demonic Beast; they could only rely on the freezing effect to slow down the pursuit of the Red-haired Demon Monkey.

The remaining people, no longer hesitating, crazily bolstered their light body techniques or flew directly on their swords, darting into the Spirit Formation.

The Spirit Formation created a massive shield of Spiritual Power. Unlike the minor Five Elements Formation, this Formation was known as the Profound Turtle Formation, which only had defensive properties and no offensive capabilities.

The Red-haired Demon Monkey roared angrily and charged towards the minor Five Elements Vajra Cover.

Behind it, those Demonic Monkeys that had just tried to flee, now crazily shouted and also attacked the minor Five Elements Formation.

"No, we absolutely cannot let this beast outside break the minor Five Elements Spirit Formation!" Lin Houwei understood that being besieged within the Five Elements Formation was certainly a critical moment for the Red-haired Demon Monkey. They absolutely couldn't afford to be disturbed and have the Formation broken. If that happened, with two frenziedly fast and powerfully violent Red-haired Demon Monkeys, no one would be able to withstand them!

Inside was a Demonic Beast approaching the Third Rank!

"A few 'Shi' generation youngsters, stay here well!" Lin Houshou shouted loudly, unexpectedly being the first to take the initiative and rush out of the Formation towards the Red-haired Demon Monkey.

The other three cultivators in the eighth level of Qi Cultivation of the 'Hou' generation also followed without the slightest hesitation. With the ninth level elders of the Lin Family not present, it was their inescapable duty!

No family doesn't practice Immortal Cultivation, an everlasting legacy left through the ancient times!

"I'll go as well, you guys stay behind!" Lin Shijie holding the Fire-returning Fire Sword, in an instant his fire-based magical power surged.

The Fire Sword flew out, slashing madly at the Red-haired Demon Monkey.

In this battle, he, Lin Shijie, would fight for his family; he wanted to let everyone know.

That he, Lin Shijie, wasn't just someone who grew up under the shelter of his family. At this moment, he was fully capable of protecting his family!

As for Lin Houshou's words, they had already been ignored by him.

And almost at the same time, Lin Shiyi with his large black face and Lin Shimo, stepping on a black coffin, also charged out.

"Shiming, you're only at the fifth level of Qi Cultivation, you stay behind!"

Leaving this message behind, they had already rushed towards those Yellow-haired Demon Monkeys.

If they couldn't stop the Red-haired Demon Monkey, at least they were determined to tear apart a few Yellow-haired Demon Monkeys with their own hands.

And the rest of the 'Hou' generation also did not continue to stay within the Formation. If the minor Five Elements Formation collapsed, with two Red-haired Demon Monkeys present, none could escape.

Lin Shiming naturally also understood this principle. He took out a wine jug and took a sip of Monkey Wine to replenish his Spiritual Power.

"Shiming, give me a sip too, I've exhausted a lot just now!" Lin Houwei also came over to ask for a sip of Monkey Wine, then once again bravely charged back out.

Inside the minor Five Elements Formation, the Great Elder was bathed in blood, his hands holding a pair of Supreme Grade Magic Artifact gauntlets, not knowing how many punches he had landed on the Red-haired Demon Monkey.

The Red-haired Demon Monkey was beaten to constant wails, while the other Yellow-haired Demon Monkeys were effectively restrained by the Spirit Blades of the five Great Elders' Formation.

Now all they wanted was to kill this Red-haired Demon Monkey and then go out to tear the Red-haired Demon Monkey outside to thousands of pieces!

Every second of delay could mean the death of another clan member.

Seeing the plight of the Red-haired Demon Monkey inside, the Red-haired Demon Monkey outside roared to the sky once more, its gigantic iron rod raised high.

It aimed to smash the Vajra Cover with a single blow, and the spot where it struck was precisely where Lin Houyuan, the father of Lin Shiming, was located.

Lin Houshou and five other Qi Cultivation eighth level cultivators released several Magic Artifacts together, killing towards the Red-haired Demon Monkey.

Lin Shijie's fiery red Spirit Sword transformed into a ten-meter giant fiery sword and slashed down fiercely.

However, although there were many attacks, none had a Supreme Grade Magic Artifact.

The Red-haired Demon Monkey swept its arm, sending most of the magic artifacts flying, and withstood the rest with brute force.

"Not good!" Everyone's complexion changed dramatically as they saw the blow about to hit Family Head Lin Houyuan.

But at that moment, Lin Shiming suddenly leaped in from the side, took a fierce swig of his drink, and then pinched a spell seal and shouted angrily.

"Vicious Snake Vine Flower, arise!"

A massive vine uncoiled from the ground and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a three to four-meter thick giant black thorn snake vine.

It directly ensnared the Red-haired Demon Monkey in mid-air.

The Red-haired Demon Monkey struggled frantically, but to no avail and could only throw its iron rod in a fit of rage.

Goodbye, the golden light dissipated, and the small Five Elements Vajra Cover Formation had already been lifted; the Great Elder stepped on the body of the Red-haired Demon Monkey, and the other Elders also immediately deployed their tactics.

First came several Defense Talismans shaped like light shields, followed by a bombardment of Superior Grade Magic Artifacts.

The iron rod was blasted away.

While the Demonic Beast struggled frantically in the sky, the massive Snake Vine's thorns pierced fiercely into its body, only to be blocked by a red light.

The Snake Vine seemed unable to withstand the immense force, numerous cracks appeared in it, seemingly on the verge of breaking at any moment.

A gigantic black thorn flower had already landed on the Demonic Beast's head.

Pressing against its head, it spewed poison venomously!

The black venom, possessed with the determination to corrode everything, poured down.

"Roar!"

The Red-haired Demon Monkey howled in agony as the red light on its body faded.

After spewing a mouthful of poison, the spiritual power of the Snake Vine was depleted, and it vanished.

Before the Red-haired Demon Monkey could revel in its crazed joy, the Great Elder's Iron Fist, with a towering blood light, smashed down again.

Together with the assistance of the other Elders, the Demon Monkey, now without the protection of its red hair, soon perished, its head directly severed.

With the death of the Red-haired Demon Monkey, the situation suddenly cleared up, and the remaining yellow-haired demon monkeys were no longer a concern.

All Lin Family members transformed into demonic monkey executioners.

One after another, the yellow-haired demon monkeys were slain, none escaping with Ninth Layer Elders on hand.

Lin Houyuan glanced at Lin Shiming and, seeing the latter's pale face, gave an approving smile.

Just a while ago, he had been telling this child that his father could still hold on!

Yet now, Lin Shiming had proven to him that he too was capable!

Feelings of relief and pride surged in Lin Houyuan's heart.

The rest of the Lin Family Clan looked at Lin Shiming in a new light; his strength was so formidable that even Lin Shijie had to treat him seriously.

And to think, Lin Shiming was only at the Fifth Rank of Qi Cultivation!

After the battle, everyone was exhausted and there was no joy in their victory, especially among the younger generations, as several of their closest companions from the past had fallen.

"This time, it's my fault," the Great Elder also stood there somewhat desolate, as the tactics he issued had failed to trap so many yellow-haired demon monkeys and not quickly killed the Red-haired Demon Monkey.

"Eldest uncle, you're not wrong; this time, we've won a great victory!" Lin Houyuan suddenly spoke out loud.

"Now this Spirit Peach Valley belongs to us, and later I will give all of you the opportunity to search for Spiritual Objects in Peach Blossom Valley, except for the Spirit Peaches and Spiritual Wine, you may keep whatever else you find!"

"Furthermore, Third Aunt, please go to the trouble of setting up a large Formation in Peach Blossom Valley to conceal the fluctuations of spiritual energy in this place!"
