Chapter 369 Excited Xiao Diao_2
Speaking of which, these four Second Order Late Phase Purple Gold Eagles hadn't suffered much damage, and their strength hadn't been greatly affected.
Yet they were so decisive, and at this critical moment, they abandoned their kin trapped in the Earth Fiend Sword Formation, not to mention those injured companions struggling on the ground.
But upon closer thought, not fleeing at the beginning of the battle wasn't because they weren't intimidated by Lin Tianming's brutal tactics, nor had they reached a point of complete collapse.
As the battle continued, the First Order Purple Gold Eagles were trapped with no chance of escape, and the main force of the Second Order Middle Stage was all severely injured, unable to provide further help.
In light of this, continuing the fight was pointless, and fleeing became an act of desperation.
After all, saving even one was better than all of them perishing here.
By the time the Purple Gold Eagles thought of severing a limb to survive, it was already too late.
The moment they turned and took flight, the Bloodthirsty Jiao immediately gave chase, blocking their path ruthlessly.
Daoist Hu and Xiao Diao on the other side did the same, having anticipated the escape of the Purple Gold Eagles, and therefore were always ready.
Suddenly, with their intervention, the four Purple Gold Eagles became furiously enraged, attacking even more savagely.
They knew the longer they delayed, the lower the chances of escape, leaving them no choice but to fight desperately.
As a result, the intensity of the battle once again escalated to a new level.
With these Purple Gold Eagles back in the mire, they faced even greater trouble—Lin Tianming, who was ready to join the battle at any moment.
At that time, he surveyed the entire battlefield and ultimately chose to head in the direction of Daoist Hu.
"Daoist Hu, allow me to lend you a hand!"
From afar, Lin Tianming shouted loudly while rushing in this direction.
Hearing these words, Daoist Hu's face lit up with excitement as he saw Lin Tianming flying towards him.
"Haha... These beasts won't be able to run away!"
Daoist Hu laughed heartily, his magic artifact glowing brightly in his hand, firmly restraining the Purple Gold Eagles that were fighting back desperately.
At that moment, Lin Tianming also joined the battle.
In the blink of an eye, his Tiangang Sword radiated a flash of silver light, and several streaks of Sword Qi, like mighty dragons, slashed towards one of the Purple Gold Eagles.
Daoist Hu, equally vigorous, quickly spurred several attacks to match Lin Tianming.
"Boom boom boom..."
A series of explosions sounded off, and the sky immediately filled with dense Sword Qi, much more than at any other time.
This was just the beginning for Lin Tianming; apart from ordinary Sword Qi, he once again stimulated the Tiangang Sword Qi Seventh Sword, the cumulative attack's power earth-shattering and as fast as lightning.
Seeing this attack, the Purple Gold Eagle that he targeted became furiously enraged, having to cope with Daoist Hu's attacks while also dealing with Lin Tianming, utterly unable to withstand the barrage from both sides.
"Pu pu pu..."
It dodged many of the ordinary attacks, but there were just too many attacks from all directions to avoid.
Even at its best, the Purple Gold Eagle couldn't avoid being struck.
However, these attacks, while adding numerous wounds, were not the most lethal.
The most deadly was the Tiangang Sword Qi Seventh Sword unleashed by Lin Tianming, an attack whose power and speed were incomparable to ordinary attacks.
Such a fatal blow had the capacity to kill a Second Order Demonic Beast at any moment.
Even a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator couldn't be sure of surviving such an attack.
As the Tiangang Sword came closer and closer, it descended upon the Purple Gold Eagle's head almost instantly.
At that moment, the Purple Gold Eagle once again stimulated its Divine Skills in a desperate attempt to resist.
Unfortunately, it had already used up much of its Divine Skills, and the power of the fireballs was far from what it was at the start of the battle.
A tragic scream was expectedly heard!
The Purple Gold Eagle resisted only a moment before the Tiangang Sword directly cleaved away half of its body.
As the body of the Purple Gold Eagle fell from the sky to the ground, Lin Tianming then turned his gaze and charged towards another Purple Gold Eagle.
With the combined strength of him and Hu Yuan, this Purple Gold Eagle only lasted two rounds of ordinary attacks before being killed by one of Hu Yuan's divine skills.
Watching his attack take down the Purple Gold Eagle, Hu Yuan let out a hearty laugh in satisfaction.
"Haha... truly satisfying!"
"Daoist Hu, there are still two Second Order Late Phase Purple Gold Eagles, let's make haste and deal with them!"
After reminding him, Lin Tianming immediately headed towards Xiao Diao's location.
Hu Yuan quickly regained his composure, and seeing Lin Tianming had left the area, he did not delay and prepared to join the battle.
Having freed up their hands, the two each chose a direction, preparing to help Xiao Diao and the Bloodthirsty Jiao finish their battles.
With the two joining the fight, the remaining two Second Order Late Phase Purple Gold Eagles were put on the retreat, their injuries continuously worsening.
At this time, Xiao Diao was ferocious, paying no heed to its wounds, fighting desperately as if betting its life.
With the aid of its kin, its combat skills improved rapidly; before, it was coping alone against a Second Order Late Phase Purple Gold Eagle and had surprisingly not been at a disadvantage.
Such a performance, seen by Lin Tianming, filled his heart with satisfaction over Xiao Diao's growth.
In less than the time it took to brew a cup of tea, with the assistance of Lin Tianming and his companion, the two surviving Purple Gold Eagles were each slain by Xiao Diao and the Bloodthirsty Jiao.
The two men seemed to intentionally accommodate Xiao Diao and the Bloodthirsty Jiao, restraining their blows, not attacking with their full strength.
Otherwise, with their strength, it would probably not have come to Xiao Diao and the Bloodthirsty Jiao's killing blow.
Clearly, such actions were meant to build their confidence, which was Lin Tianming's initial intention.
Both the Bloodthirsty Jiao and Xiao Diao lived up to expectations, seizing the opportunity to perform before Lin Tianming and earning his approval.
With the five Second Order Late Phase Purple Gold Eagles successively killed, the battlefield had finally calmed down quite a bit, only the four gravely injured Second Order Medium Stage Purple Gold Eagles lay on the ground, struggling and wailing.
What remained were the First Order Purple Gold Eagles trapped in the Earth Fiend Sword Formation and the more than a dozen Early Second Order Purple Gold Eagles still trying to escape.
After trying for so long, with the great battle already over and they still hadn't escaped, it was nothing but a futile struggle with no chance of getting out.
At this moment, with the battle ended, Lin Tianming and his companion's faces were flushed, and their moods were extremely content.
And Xiao Diao was more excited than ever, after all, the essence blood and even the inner cores of these kin were of great help to it; they could not only enhance its order but also aid in its Ancestral Evolution, being one of the things it desired most.
If Lin Tianming was willing to let it consume them, even just half of the spoils, for Xiao Diao to break through the Second Order Late Phase was simply too easy.
If it were given all of them to consume, even breaking through to the Third Order was not impossible.
Xiao Diao understood this and excitedly flew around the battlefield in circles, not showing any signs of fatigue after the great battle, even forgetting about its injuries.
At that moment, Lin Tianming, looking at the chaotic battlefield, said to Hu Yuan, "Daoist Hu, would you like to tame a few of these Purple Gold Eagles?"
Hearing this, Hu Yuan nodded with a smile and responded, "Hehe... I have long admired your spiritual pet Xiao Diao, Daoist Lin, the help it provides when traveling is significant. Now that such an opportunity has arisen, I certainly won't pass it up."
"But you need not worry, Daoist Lin!"
"There are plenty of Purple Gold Eagles here, and I alone cannot compare to you in wealth and possessions, having one as a spiritual pet will satisfy me. Too many, and I simply cannot afford to keep them."
Hearing Hu Yuan's words, Lin Tianming nodded, thinking to himself that Hu Yuan was sensible, recognizing the importance of these Purple Gold Eagles to the Lin Family and Xiao Diao.
So he didn't make excessive demands but only intended to tame and cultivate one.
This approach couldn't be more appropriate; had he been greedy and asked for too much, it would have easily angered others and caused their relationship to break down.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming said with a smile, "In that case, Daoist Hu, try your best as soon as possible. Once you have tamed one, we still need to clean up the battlefield."
"And my task is heavy as well. So many Purple Gold Eagles must be domesticated before I can bring them back to my people for taming."
Hearing this, Hu Yuan nodded contentedly, thanked Lin Tianming with a bow, and then went directly to one corner of the battlefield.
