Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Only One Sword to Enjoy Together
```
The verdant hillsides had now completely fallen into a hellish landscape.
Blood flowed like rivers in the trenches carved by various spells, as the blue-robed cultivators still could not overcome, and the yellow-robed cultivators relentlessly struck sword after sword with fierce grimaces.
Even at Lin Houshou's position, the Five Directions Profound Earth Formation was starting to falter, as Huang Family had a Third Rank Artifact Refiner, making the magical treasures of the three Huang Family elders exceptionally powerful.
Although Lin Houshou also had some, he had only just stepped into the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level, and if it weren't for the constant consumption of Monkey Wine to restore his Spiritual Energy, his defenses might have already been breached.
But he couldn't hold on much longer!
The only scene that seemed to fare the best was with Lin Yuqing. As a practitioner of Body Cultivation, bolstered by the Monkey Wine, he was surprisingly pressuring both Huang Lishan and another of the Huang Family with his abundant Spiritual Power.
At that moment, Lin Houshou's gaze happened to catch sight of Lin Shiming, whose face was flushed red with crazed eyes.
Of course, it wasn't just Lin Houshou who noticed; everyone's gaze couldn't help but turn towards Lin Shiming.
They saw the latter suddenly shout, and a black Lotus Sword instantly grew several meters, its blade emanating a thick light.
"You old cowards of the Huang Family! Even though I, Lin Shiming, am only at Qi Cultivation Sixth Level and no match for you,"
"I have but one sword strike, please appreciate it together!"
Lin Shiming roared as he spoke, and one could see a violent surge of Spiritual Energy pour into the Green Lotus Sword, making the sword light flare up again!
Could it be that he has comprehended Lin Xianzhi's sword technique?
Some of the Huang Family felt a cold fear, for Lin Xianzhi's swordsmanship was always so terrifying!
But most scoffed, a mere Qi Cultivation Sixth Level; who could he intimidate?
The sword light was unleashed, and Lin Shiming struck at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Level cultivator who had attacked him.
Which was easily blocked by the latter.
"All flash and no substance!"
That was the Qi Cultivation Eighth Level cultivator's assessment of Lin Shiming.
But soon, he sensed something amiss; the Spiritual Energy from Lin Shiming's recent attack was far from all he had.
Even under his watch, Lin Shiming's body slowly fell to the ground.
How could this be?
Everyone was surprised and puzzled. Was that all from his full-strength sword strike?
Was this the one the Lin Family had invested so much support in?
The few from the Huang Family who had been paying attention to Lin Shiming now thoroughly disregarded him.
They were unaware that the Spiritual Power Lin Shiming had previously unleashed had not all gone into the Spirit Sword.
However, in the next moment, everyone only heard a loud boom!
Five sounds of air being torn apart rang out, dirt and rocks flying everywhere, and massive vines appearing out of nowhere.
In the blink of an eye, they stretched up like five pillars extending to the heavens.
Among them, two Snake Vine Flowers crucially wrapped around Huang Lishan and Huang Ligong in a fierce encirclement!
Three more Snake Vine Flowers, like the scythe of death, bound the three Qi Cultivation Ninth Level cultivators within the Five Directions Profound Earth Formation!
Most critically, the Snake Vine Flowers were laced with poisonous thorns. The thorns and the huge toxicity of the Snake Vine Flower during normal times wouldn't pose an issue, but in the heat of battle at the peak of Qi Cultivation, being entangled for even a moment by the poison could be fatal!
The venom of the Snake Vine Flowers also began to pour forth, eroding the shields of Spiritual Power and the Defense Talismans in an instant.
"What an opportunity!" Lin Yuqing's eyes shone with brilliance upon seeing this; he had not expected Lin Shiming to create such a grand opportunity.
A pill entered his body from his hand, a Third Rank Elixir, the Frenzy Pill!
It would temporarily boost Spiritual Energy, speed, and strength!
```
The Supreme Grade boxing gloves emitted an earth attribute glow as grand as a mountain, and with one punch, Huang Ligong was smashed to pieces.
With a booming sound, the latter was smashed into a mush under the force of the punch, leaving behind only a Storage Bag and a Spirit Sword that had dimmed significantly...
Qi Cultivation Ninth Level, Huang Ligong, fallen!
Huang Lishan's face was filled with utter shock; he hadn't expected to be deceived by a greenhorn at this moment.
The bluff of a sword, they could only blame their excessive fear of Lin Xianzhi's swordsmanship!
Almost at the same time that Lin Yuqing crushed Huang Ligong to death, Lin Houshou suddenly and violently detonated the formation.
The Wuxiang Earth Formation was an exceptionally formidable second-rank Superior Grade formation, which erupted with a deafening boom.
The dazzling earthy yellow brilliance exploded like a volcanic eruption.
Lin Houshou, stumbling, controlled his Flying Sword to escape, while three of the Huang Family's Qi Cultivation Ninth Level cultivators were blown to bits and perished!
In just a few breaths, due to Lin Shiming's Snake Vine Flower, four Qi Cultivation Ninth Level combatants had died!
And Huang Lishan was likewise in imminent danger; consumed by the Frenzy Pill, Lin Yuqing even faintly possessed the combat strength of someone at the Foundation Establishment level.
Should this punch land, Huang Lishan would either die or sustain grave injuries.
At the critical juncture, Huang Lishan took a deep breath, drew a Supreme Grade magical sword to sever the Snake Vine Flower monstrously, and then surprisingly unfolded a Third Rank Inferior Grade Defense Talisman.
He pulled out a half-meter-long peculiar Spirit Talisman, whose surface was not inscribed with Spirit Patterns, but rather a small sword engulfed in purple qi.
His mouth moved as if whispering an incantation, and the small sword on the Spirit Talisman became steadily clearer.
The Spiritual Pressure grew more and more intense.
"Talisman Sword!" Everyone from the Lin Family was shocked.
Especially Lin Yuqing, who hastily yelled out!
"Don't let him activate it!"
The power of the Talisman Sword was equivalent to a strike from a Purple Mansion magical treasure, although it was only being activated by a Qi Cultivation Ninth Level cultivator, its power was absolutely terrifying.
The only weakness of such a Talisman Sword was the long activation time, and extended incantation period.
His Iron Fist struck the Defense Talisman numerous times, but a Third Rank talisman wasn't so easily broken.
As Lin Houshou took a big gulp of Monkey Wine to restore some Spiritual Power and alleviate some injuries, he saw this and charged at Huang Lishan once more.
Meanwhile, Lin Shijie and the Blood Corpse didn't know how many times they'd been blasted away by the Five Elements Flag.
This time, Lin Shijie was once again sent flying backward, and the Blood Corpse's arms were blown off by the flames.
"You two brats, I'll come back to kill you later!" The Huang Family's Qi Cultivation Ninth Level cultivator roared with fury. Four Qi Cultivation Ninth Level cultivators had died; even if they killed all of the Lin Family, it would be a loss for the Huang Family, not to mention that with their Qi Cultivation peak cultivators falling, the Huang Family was on the brink of being entirely annihilated.
The situation had already far exceeded the Huang Family's expectations, but to survive, to win, they had to ensure that Huang Lishan activated the Talisman Sword.
The Huang Family's remaining Ninth Level cultivators directly intercepted Lin Houshou; without the assistance of the formation and also injured, Lin Houshou simply couldn't hold off the Huang Family's cultivators.
Especially with the Five Elements Spell released by the Five Elements Flags, Lin Houshou was forced into a continuous retreat.
The Talisman Sword in Huang Lishan's hand grew brighter and brighter, while Lin Yuqing had failed to shatter the Third Rank Inferior Grade Defense Talisman from the start to the finish.
Lin Yuqing's eyes were already bloodshot, the power of the Frenzy Pill was eroding his nerves, and the fear of death loomed over his head.
No one could withstand the strike from this Talisman Sword.
At that moment, he transmitted a message to Lin Shiming and Lin Shijie once more.
"Go!" With Huang Lishan's cold shout, a golden, dazzling Purple Flying Sword had already taken shape, and the terrifying Spiritual Pressure pressed down on everyone, making it hard to breathe.
"Lin Yuqing, it's all over!" Huang Lishan snarled, swinging his hand forcefully, as the sword slashed towards Lin Yuqing.
