Chapter 367: Spirit Beast Assists (Part 2)
Since escape was not an option, he decided to annihilate them with thunderous means or drive them from this place.
Having made up his mind, Hu Yuan's Magic Artifact in his hand frequently shone brightly, unleashing stronger attacks and locking onto two Second Order Late Phase Purple Gold Eagles.
Seeing Hu Yuan go all out, Lin Tianming did not delay.
With a single slap on his storage bag, seventy-two Earth Evil Swords shot out, swiftly forming a Barrier in front of him.
At the same time, the Thousand Beast Banner was also summoned by him, working in conjunction with the Earth Fiend Sword Formation to envelop a large area in front of him.
His speed was remarkably fast, and many First Order Purple Gold Eagles were covered by the Sword Array, including those at the early Second Order stage who were unable to escape.
However, the Purple Gold Eagles at the medium and later stages of the Second Order were very fast. They seemed to sense the danger at the moment the Sword Array appeared and dodged it.
Given Lin Tianming's knowledge of Purple Gold Eagles, it was not surprising that the Earth Fiend Sword Formation failed to encompass those at the medium and later stages of the Second Order.
His goal was merely to trap the First Order and early Second Order Purple Gold Eagles, so that he could attempt to tame them after the final battle had concluded.
Therefore, he simply trapped them and did not trigger too much Sword Qi to roam inside, lest he kill them.
As for the top combatants among the Purple Gold Eagles, which were those in the medium and later stages of the Second Order, they were considered to have reached adulthood and their Spirit Wisdom was not low, so the likelihood of directly taming them was not great.
At the very least, without resorting to violent methods, there was absolutely no chance of subduing them.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming focused all of his attention on those Purple Gold Eagles in the medium and later stages of the Second Order.
At that moment, Lin Tianming slapped his Spirit Beast Bag and released Xiao Diao and the Bloodthirsty Jiao.
This battle was unlike the one against the Flaming Beast Clan. The Purple Gold Eagles were stronger and faster, making them not easy to kill.
Therefore, he planned to let Xiao Diao and the Bloodthirsty Jiao, who hadn't fought in a long time, come out to help, and he even considered releasing the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox.
However, considering the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox's injuries had only barely healed and that the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox was too rare, easily arousing greed in others,
And more importantly, the Divine Skills of the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox were very strong, and he didn't want to reveal too many of his trump cards.
That's why he considered letting Xiao Diao and the Bloodthirsty Jiao come out to help.
With the Bloodthirsty Jiao being of the Second Order Late Phase, holding off a Second Order Late Phase Purple Gold Eagle should be no problem.
As for Xiao Diao, at the Second Order Middle Stage, though its Order was not very high amongst the Purple Gold Eagle Clan, over the years it had consumed countless Demon Cores and various elixirs, and even rare treasures.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Diao's overall strength was still stronger compared to other Purple Gold Eagles of the same class and Order.
Even if it couldn't match those of the same kind in the late stages of the Second Order, its fighting prowess was by no means much weaker.
Lin Tianming's plan was simple: let the Purple Gold Eagle and the Bloodthirsty Jiao each hold off a Second Order Late Phase Purple Gold Eagle, while Hu Yuan dealt with two other Second Order Late Phase Purple Gold Eagles.
With that, out of the five Second Order Late Phase Purple Gold Eagles here, four already had their opponents.
He would go all out to quickly slay or seriously injure the remaining one, as well as the six Purple Gold Eagles in the Middle Stage of the Second Order.
With his strength, taking on these Second Order Medium and Late Stage Purple Gold Eagles should not be a difficult task.
Once he had achieved his goal, he could go and help Xiao Diao and the others to kill their opponents one by one.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming wasted no time and quickly gave orders to Xiao Diao and the Bloodthirsty Jiao.
Suddenly, the Bloodthirsty Jiao twisted its huge body and was the first to charge at a Second Order Late Phase Purple Gold Eagle.
Xiao Diao, receiving the command, let out an excited screech, whether out of excitement at seeing its own kind or eagerness to fight.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming chuckled and said to the eager Xiao Diao,
"Xiao Diao, this opponent is of your own kind. If you kill them, you can obtain their Blood Essence Inner Cores, which are important for your ancestral transformation, right?"
Xiao Diao seemed to understand, as its excitement turned into a frenzied state, without a hint of fear.
This behavior seemed to show it couldn't wait any longer.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming waved his hand and unleashed a Sword Qi, slashing at a Second Order Late Phase Purple Gold Eagle.
Xiao Diao also understood and flapped its massive wings, ferociously pouncing towards the same Purple Gold Eagle.
Soon, Xiao Diao and its opponent began to fight fiercely.
Upon closer look, the entire process of their fight was incredibly ugly, consisting of close-range physical combat, tangling and grappling with each other.
Such a method completely abandoned the use of their Divine Skills, differing as much as heaven and earth from the battlefield where the Bloodthirsty Jiao was located.
It was unimaginable that two Purple Gold Eagles would not use Divine Skills and instead fought hand-to-hand like ordinary Demonic Beasts.
Witnessing such a scene, Lin Tianming truly broadened his horizons.
Perhaps it was a special way of fighting between the same species, after all, such strange phenomena were not uncommon among the Demon Beast Race.
Snapping back to reality, with the addition of two Spirit Beasts joining the scene, each finding their own opponents, Lin Tianming did not delay any further.
He leapt into the air, the Tiangang Sword in his hand swinging frequently, unleashing copious amounts of Sword Qi, and he pounced toward the remaining Purple Gold Eagles.
The moment he made his move, these Purple Gold Eagles naturally would not sit and wait for death; they spat out a large number of fireballs, colliding with the Sword Qi unleashed by Lin Tianming.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Neither of their attacks was weak. With the sheer number of fireballs, the Purple Gold Eagles easily blocked Lin Tianming's assault.
Immediately afterward, they gathered together to form a formation, pouncing towards Lin Tianming.
At the same time, the Purple Gold Eagles' sharp talons were the best weapons, not only exceedingly hard but also possessing powerful penetrating power.
They swooped down, their talons aiming for Lin Tianming's Sky Spirit Cover.
If they managed to land a hit, his head would likely shatter into pieces instantly.
However, Lin Tianming's movements were agile, and with the assistance of the Eye of Five Colors, evading was not very difficult.
At that moment, he dodged the attack of the leading Second Order Late Phase Purple Gold Eagle.
But for the attacks of the talons from the Second Order Middle Stage Purple Gold Eagles, he didn't show the slightest hint of fear.
He not only didn't dodge, but instead leaped forward to meet them, the Tiangang Sword in his hand thrusting out fiercely, clashing hard against their talons.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
A series of metallic clashes rang out, accompanied by sparks flickering about.
This Second Order Middle Stage Purple Gold Eagle clearly had not anticipated Lin Tianming to be so fierce, not evading and instead engaging in a direct confrontation.
It was only after colliding with Lin Tianming that it understood the confidence Lin Tianming had.
Lin Tianming's strike was not something an ordinary Cultivator could compare with.
He was, after all, a practitioner of Dual Cultivation of Body and Law, and not too long ago, he had obtained the Blue Heart True Flame, which elevated his physique to another level.
With his physique comparable to a Second Order Late Stage Beast, the power of this strike was naturally immense, directly chopping off the talons of this Second Order Middle Stage Purple Gold Eagle.
Not only that, but the Tiangang Sword in his hand seemed unsatisfied, almost severing the wing of the Purple Gold Eagle with a single slash.
After letting out a miserable cry, the Purple Gold Eagle fell out of formation and plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily into the ground.
A cloud of dust rose up, and when it finally settled, a deep pit appeared on the ground, with the Purple Gold Eagle half-lying in it, struggling and letting out painful screams.
It tried hard to stand up and take flight.
However, with its talons chopped off and one wing nearly broken, such severe injuries made it impossible to support flight.
After fruitless struggles, it could only let out pitiful screams, hoping to receive help from its kin.
But at this moment, the other Purple Gold Eagles were either engaged or those in the same battlefield with Lin Tianming were stunned by his fierce attacks and did not dare to approach easily.
In response, Lin Tianming smiled faintly, excitement surging within him.
This was the effect he wanted; he had to shock the Purple Gold Eagles with a thunderous approach so that it would be easier to subdue them later.
