Her cultivation technique, which harnessed the power of cold and darkness, was just the counter to this fire-type demon beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a raised hand, a silver spear emitting cold air transformed into an ice dragon, roaring as it charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon beast let out a mournful cry as its leader crashed heavily to the ground. With the loss of their leader, the beasts fell into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators began using the power of the array to slaughter these demon beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the Cyan-Horned Bull was particularly fierce; while the ones in the sky couldn't be hit, those falling down were directly struck by the bull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a tier two late-stage demon beast would be in trouble under such a hasty blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, these demon beasts did not have the tenacity to fight to the death; once their quasi-tier three leader fell into the encirclement with a mournful cry, the demon beasts scattered like birds and beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, Uncle Lin, you were hiding deep; that sword aura is really impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the battle, the somewhat disheveled Old Hu wiped the bloodstains from his body and turned to Lin Chang'an with an excited expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly did not expect Old Lin to be so fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he could rely on the softness of late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators; it turns out he has real strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Hu, don't say that. The main reason is that this quasi-tier three demon beast was already injured and had been fighting with you all for so long, consuming much energy, and I also took advantage of a sneak attack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang'an waved his hand with a smile, while the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators looked at him with different eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Yan was particularly amazed; he didn't expect his Uncle Lin not only had talent in talismans but was also so powerful in strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on the side, Ghost Three Blades was secretly astounded, recalling the blood-colored sword aura from earlier, as if thinking of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He Yan, no wonder your Uncle Lin, with a low-grade spirit root, can reach where he is today; daring to cultivate the perilous Evil Essence Sword Formulas, if he weren't strong, it would truly defy logic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghost Three Blades had been through a lot and seen a lot, and he recognized the origin of Lin Chang'an's sword formulas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Yan was taken aback when he heard this and soon felt a deep admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, for loose cultivators like them to rise to prominence, there isn't a single chance without taking risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Lin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yifan was also shocked that his uncle, known for being a talisman master, displayed such formidable strength today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, everyone quickly clear the battlefield; don't let the demon beasts have a chance to sneak attack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, Old Lin, we can catch up later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone hurried to clean up the battlefield, and as the one with the highest cultivation among them, Yun Yao, face covered with a black veil, calmly gave orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Yao naturally kept her identity hidden to the outside, and her late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation affirmed her position as their leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He Yan, quickly send a message to Celestial Profound City, informing them the outpost here was attacked by a quasi-tier three demon beast, and the array has been damaged and needs repair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrays at outposts like theirs are managed by Celestial Profound City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, ordinary cultivators would not be able to obtain arrays, let alone repair them when damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only forces like Celestial Profound City and Profound Sound Pavilion have such capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, a quasi-tier three demon beast; this is the first time Old Hu has seen a complete corpse. What a pity that it didn't have a Demon Core Transformation Pill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Hu, you're just dreaming; even within quasi-tier three demon beasts, those with a Demon Core Transformation Pill are extremely rare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then everyone gathered round, with the Foundation Establishment Cultivators together, along with nearly a hundred Qi Refining Cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Shen Lie and Wei Buyi watched their children with great excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with his father's advice, Shen Fan nodded honestly, while Wei Yingying looked at her father with a flattering smile, warmly asking after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene made quite a few people envious, as many of them had lost important people and could only remember them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come, come, Brother Lin really did significant work this time. Aside from the tier two Firebird he took down, killed by his own spirit pet as well,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>though everyone contributed, the greatest credit still goes to Old Lin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First came the spoils from several tier two demon beasts; everyone began dividing them with smiles, yet all eyes never left the corpse of the quasi-tier three demon beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the biggest haul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Zhou Bingyun stared straight at the quasi-tier three demon beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the beast tide, these Foundation Establishment Cultivators might never slay a quasi-tier three demon beast in their lifetimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such beings are not just hard to find, but too many variables are involved; unlike now, where they can ambush beasts within the array, which certainly gives them a strategic advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This quasi-tier three demon beast should be handled according to the usual rules.
