69: Cousins vs.

The blood-red Flying Sword, under Lin Yongrong's control, darted through the mist.

It had already destroyed several spiritual plants, but fortunately, some rare ones were not hit.

Although Lin Yongmao had resolved not to go out, he would not sit idly by and wait for death.

The Grass and Trees are All Soldiers Formation, under the control of his Formation Plate, began to defend with full force, forming thick tree walls, with several large trees creating a solid barrier.

The Flying Sword was just an ordinary Low Grade Magical Artifact Flying Sword, but it was under the manipulation of Lin Yongrong, who had a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation.

Moreover, Lin Yongrong had also used the secret technique, Blood Soul Guide.

Blood Soul Guide could unleash stronger power in a short period, making it very effective in actual combat.

The blood-red Flying Sword struck the wall formed by the large trees, leaving deep marks.

Although the large trees could not completely block the Flying Sword's attack, they effectively slowed down its offensive.

Lin Yongmao thought to himself, 'It seems I need to plant more spiritual plants known for their defense.'

He currently lacked seeds for various functional spiritual plants, so the full power of the Grass and Trees are All Soldiers Formation could not yet be fully displayed.

For example, regarding the Formation's defensive capabilities, if iron trees with strong defensive power were planted within Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff, then the defensive performance could be elevated to another level.

Although Lin Yongrong could not see through the mist, he sensed an unusual obstruction.

"It's definitely in there!"

The Soul-Seizing Ash Python watched Lin Yongrong's actions and had no intention of helping.

It also sensed the unusual nature of this place.

As for Lin Yongmao, whom Lin Yongrong had repeatedly mentioned, the Soul-Seizing Ash Python had also seen him and even detected the aura of the Ironclad Thunder Ape on his body.

It guessed that the three young Ironclad Thunder Apes had likely died at his hands.

Last time, when it attacked, it used a Mental Energy attack, and a Cultivator in the Qi Refinement Stage was able to resist it without dying.

This cliff was also very strange; it clearly had a specialized Formation protecting it.

Although it was a third-tier Yao Beast, it had currently lost its Physical Body and resided within Lin Yongrong's body, so it could not fully unleash the combat power of a third-tier Yao Beast.

It could only wait and see.

Now that the target had been found, Lin Yongrong's offensive became even more fierce; he intended to end the battle quickly.

This was because although Blood Soul Guide could temporarily boost combat power, it consumed a significant amount of energy and would be followed by a period of weakness.

The solid walls formed by the trees grew thinner and harder to maintain.

The towering trees within Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff had all been broken by the Flying Sword.

It is worth mentioning that although these were ordinary trees, under the control of the Grass and Trees are All Soldiers Formation, they could display impressive abilities.

Lin Yongmao, within the Formation, thought, 'This is not good.' He could no longer sit idly by.

Once the Formation's defensive capabilities were dispelled, Lin Yongrong could indeed break through the mist (breaking the first-tier Hidden Trace Formation) and enter Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff.

Hallucination Heart Flower pollen.

The pollen was colorless and odorless, subtle and undetectable, and in many situations, it was even more effective than Sword Soul Grass.

The Hallucination Heart Flower pollen spread with the wind, targeting Lin Yongrong, who was attacking from outside.

The Hallucination Heart Flower seeds were obtained by Lin Yongmao through a sign-in, belonging to a special offensive spiritual plant that could directly affect the Mental Energy of Cultivators and Yao Beasts.

The Hallucination Heart Flower had been planted for a long time; although it wouldn't grow into a century-old spiritual plant within a few months, its effects were tangible.

As its age increased, the pollen's effects would also improve.

When the Hallucination Heart Flower pollen came into contact with Lin Yongrong, the red in his eyes gradually faded, and Blood Soul Guide was automatically dispelled.

The blood-red in his eyes turned light blue, which was the color of the Hallucination Heart Flower.

The Soul-Seizing Ash Python's Mental Energy body, located in the Sea of Consciousness, was also affected, and its consciousness, like Lin Yongrong's, became chaotic.

"Damn it, this thing is..."

The Soul-Seizing Ash Python's consciousness began to lose control, and its inner desires were constantly amplified.

This kind of Mental Energy attack was the most lethal; once controlled, it was very difficult to break free.

At least now, Lin Yongrong was unable to break free; even though he was a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, his consciousness had long been blinded by desire.

Power, fame, wealth, strength...

All the things he had previously sought but could not obtain, he now possessed completely in his conscious world; it was difficult for anyone not to sink into such a world.

And once you sink, in the real world, you become fish on the chopping block.

Lin Yongmao seized this good opportunity, intending to kill with one blow and completely end this feud.

As long as Lin Yongrong was killed, his guardianship of this Family would be unblemished.

The sword soul grass's leaves, like sharp swords, unleashed sword light and flew towards Lin Yongrong's neck.

Lin Yongrong was not like Lin Yongmao, who cultivated Body Refining Cultivation Techniques; his Physical Body strength was only that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.

Just as Lin Yongmao thought he was about to succeed, Lin Yongrong suddenly moved, and his eyes surprisingly regained clarity.

What was going on?

It turned out that it was not Lin Yongrong who recovered from the illusion first, but the Soul-Seizing Ash Python.

The Soul-Seizing Ash Python belonged to a third-tier Early Stage Yao Beast, and it was a Mental Energy type Yao Beast, especially skilled in Mental Energy attacks.

After all, Hallucination Heart Flower had not yet grown to a hundred years, and its hallucinatory effect was not yet significant enough.

Coupled with the Soul-Seizing Ash Python's extremely strong Mental Energy, it quickly broke free from the illusion.

Immediately, it woke up Lin Yongrong, who was still in the illusion.

Lin Yongrong regained his ability to move, and seeing the leaf Flying Sword approaching, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat and quickly retreated.

As he retreated, he slapped his Storage Pouch, and a half-human-tall shield appeared in his right hand.

The shield was made of fine iron and was also a High Grade Magical Artifact.

This was a self-defense Magical Artifact given to him by his mother, Han Yuxiu, and it was extremely valuable.

The leaf Flying Sword struck the fine iron shield, leaving only a shallow white mark.

It was still because the Sword Soul Grass was not old enough; if the Sword Soul Grass grew to a hundred years, it would easily break through the High Grade Magical Artifact fine iron shield.

According to a time ratio of one hundred to one, it would only take one year for the sword soul grass to grow to a hundred years.

However, Lin Yongmao had not been transmigrated to the Immortal Realm for even a year yet.

Alternatively, if the 'Thousand-Year spiritual plant Cultivation Agent' obtained from the hundred-day sign-in was used on the sword soul grass, then the leaf Flying Sword would certainly be able to kill Lin Yongrong.

The leaf Flying Sword failed in one strike and launched continuous attacks; Lin Yongrong was constantly forced back, but most of the attacks were blocked by the fine iron shield.

Although Lin Yongmao had already killed three second-tier Yao Beasts by relying on the Formation, the current Lin Yongrong was clearly more terrifying.

However, he still held the initiative; as long as Lin Yongrong could not enter the Grass and Trees are All Soldiers Formation, he would remain invincible.

Inside Lin Yongrong's Sea of Consciousness: "Senior, Senior, requesting assistance!"

A hazy gray gas slowly took shape, and a grayish-brown python appeared in the very center of Lin Yongrong's Sea of Consciousness.
