167: Chapter 167 Allocation

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Lingtong and Liu Qi saw Xu Shi and Cao Hong.

They hurriedly made their Move. Chen Lingtong conjured a white Flying Sword and slashed out with a single strike. The might of the Qi Condensation 7th Layer erupted, forcing the foremost Flame Lizard back.

On the other side, Liu Qi merely formed hand seals with both hands, and several wind blades appeared out of thin air, all attacking the other Flame Lizard.

Seizing the opportunity, Xu Shi and Cao Hong fled from afar, retreating together with Chen Lingtong and Liu Qi into a nearby Formation.

Reacting, the two Flame Lizards rushed toward them together.

Before long, both Flame Lizards entered the Formation.

"We can activate the Formation now," Xu Shi hurriedly reminded, looking rather disheveled.

Hearing this, the four of Chen Lingyi immediately activated the Water Curtain Formation.

All around, four sides of water curtains rose from the ground, surrounding the two Flame Lizards.

Seeing this situation for the first time, the two Flame Lizards couldn't help but grow somewhat irritable, flames continually welling up at the corners of their mouths.

Hiss! Hiss!

One of the Flame Lizards spat out a massive fireball, striking heavily against one of the water curtains.

Boom!

The power of the fireball was immense, directly evaporating a large area of the water curtain. Fortunately, the water curtain still managed to block this blow.

Outside the Formation, Xu Shi and the others immediately drove their Magical Artifacts to attack the two Flame Lizards.

Clang!

Chen Lingtong slashed down with her sword, the blade striking the body of the Flame Lizard like chopping into a hard block of iron, at most leaving a shallow scratch.

She furrowed her brow slightly. Although that blow had only displayed the might of a normal Qi Condensation 7th Layer, it was still a bit too weak.

On the other side, Xu Shi's circular flying blade rotated more than half a circle. He brought his two fingers together, driving the circular flying blade to slash toward the rear Flame Lizard.

The circular flying blade bit into the Flame Lizard's body like a saw blade, frantically cutting into the Flame Lizard's body through its rotation.

Feeling the pain, that Flame Lizard shot a fireball at the circular flying blade that was cutting into its waist and abdomen.

Xu Shi immediately maneuvered the circular flying blade to dodge, preventing it from being destroyed.

Although it was only a brief one or two breaths of time, it still left a wound about a finger deep on the Flame Lizard's body.

For a Tier 2 Monster Beast about four feet tall and a zhang long like the Flame Lizard, such a wound was practically just a superficial injury.

After all, Xu Shi was only at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, and the circular flying blade he used was only First Grade High Grade. The Cultivation Technique he practiced was also quite ordinary, incomparable to the Cultivators of the Chen Family.

If it were changed to a Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Cultivator from the Chen Family, any one of them could fight two Xu Shis.

This was also the gap between the Cultivators of a Foundation Establishment Family and Loose Cultivators.

As for Cao Hong and Liu Qi, the strength of these two was not weak either. The Magical Artifact Cao Hong conjured was a long spear, and his cultivation was at the 8th Layer of Qi Refining, providing even greater destructive power than the might caused by Chen Lingtong.

As for that Liu Qi, his Magical Artifact was very special—it was a Magical Artifact resembling a Storage Pouch.

Who knew what he had packed inside it?

It seemed that as long as he opened it and chanted incantations, some extremely incredible Spells could appear.

However, most of them were still common Spell-type attacks.

His cultivation was the highest, and the damage he caused was also the most.

Tossed about like this, the Flame Lizards inside the Formation were obviously even more irritated. But discovering that a single fireball could not easily tear apart the water curtain, they continuously attacked the exact same spot.

As the attacks became more frequent, gaps were gradually beaten into the water curtain. Chen Lingyi and the other three hurriedly increased the operation of their spiritual power to repair the water curtain anew.

As for Chen Lingtong and the others, they avoided the fireballs on one hand while fiercely driving their Magical Artifacts to attack on the other.

The spiritual power of the four was gradually depleted, and some began to show signs of spiritual power exhaustion.

Suddenly, Cao Hong let out a miserable scream. Failing to dodge in time just now, he was grazed by a fireball, and his entire left arm was incinerated. Stricken with both pain and terror, he hurriedly took out a Medicinal Pill, swallowed it, and immediately fled several zhang away to sit cross-legged and recover.

A trace of anxiety and lingering fear arose in the hearts of Chen Lingtong and the others.

Cao Hong's arm was directly incinerated just from being touched by the fireball. The crucial point was that this fireball also contained fire poison; if he didn't treat it in time, he might die before long.

Indeed, relying on eight Qi Refining Cultivators was still very difficult to deal with two Flame Lizards, but fortunately, paths of wounds had also been beaten onto their bodies.

Chen Lingtong had already displayed quite a bit of strength, outputting the destructive power of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining with the cultivation of the Qi Condensation 7th Layer. For her, this could be considered going all out.

Of course, this full out referred to her keeping her cultivation only at the Qi Condensation 7th Layer, rather than the power unleashed at the Perfection of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining.

Within the Chen Family, speaking solely of the same Realm, whose combat strength was the strongest? Without a doubt, it was Ninth Uncle Chen Changqing, followed closely by Ninth Aunt Li Qingling.

As for her, she might rank third, because she wasn't entirely certain either. Ninth Uncle had also once said that Lingxi's talent was extremely high. She had previously been to Wuyue Mountain a few times to bring some resources from Ninth Uncle to Lingxi.

At that time, when she first saw Chen Lingxi, her heart was extremely shocked. Clearly the other party was more than ten years younger than her, yet her cultivation was about to catch up to hers. She even vaguely felt that if the two of them fought in the same Realm, she truly couldn't say she would steadily win.

As for the other seven people, apart from Chen Lingyi, the rest were somewhat shocked by Chen Lingtong's strength.

Standing aside, Zhong Yuan had a gleaming gaze. The woman he wanted to find had to be like this; he was completely dissatisfied with the ones his Family chose for him—either their talent was too low, or they were mere vases. Anyway, they were utterly useless.

Holding the white jade sword in her hand, Chen Lingtong slashed horizontally with a single sword, directly tearing open the flesh and blood of the Flame Lizard, causing more damage than anyone else.

Not far away, Liu Qi marveled inwardly, "The younger generation is truly formidable!"

Although his cultivation had already reached the Perfection of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, he might not necessarily be able to unleash a Move of such power.

The three continued their fierce attacks, while Cao Hong healed his injuries in the back.

Even though the two Flame Lizards were Tier 2 Monster Beasts, under such consumption by the Qi Refining Cultivators, they more or less began to show signs of physical exhaustion.

Occasionally, one or two fireballs broke through the water curtain, but they were also evaded.

Coupled with the four people who set up the Formation, they were also able to free up their hands to drive the Formation to launch attacks.

The two Flame Lizards thus fell one after another. With Chen Lingtong's final sword descending to slay the last Flame Lizard, this battle was finally completely over.

Having experienced attacks lasting as long as half an hour, the spiritual power within the eight people's bodies had long since been completely depleted. Each occupying a side, they hurriedly took out Medicinal Pills and sat cross-legged to recover.

At times like this, one worried most about someone suddenly launching a sneak attack. This was also one of the reasons why the Immortal Realm was dangerous.

After all, wealth Moves people's hearts, not to mention that Xu Shi's Monster Hunting Team had a full four people.

Of course, vigilance was vigilance, but that didn't mean they would definitely make a Move. Being able to live for so many years, none of them were fools.

After a quarter of an hour passed, everyone seized the time to collect the corpses of the two Flame Lizards, then left and returned to the cave they had previously found to properly distribute the two Flame Lizards.

Aside from the monster cores and poison sacs, the remaining Materials were distributed according to what was previously agreed upon.

Chen Lingtong and Chen Lingyi obtained one of them, while the other two carved up the other.
