HCB Chapter 411 Ling Tianxin's Flame
Chapter 411 Ling Tianxin's Flame
Although the individual strength of the Golden Beetle is average, there are just too many of them.
Even if these disciples of the Greedy Wolf Hall burn them with fire, they cannot immediately eliminate them all.
Moreover, most of these disciples' fire spells are not very effective in stopping the Golden Beetles' attacks.
In less than a moment, these Golden Beetles broke through the first line of defense and rushed towards the disciples of the Greedy Wolf Hall.
Soon, the disciples of the Greedy Wolf Hall began to suffer injuries.
At the same time, Lu Yu, Ling Tianxin, and Su Jin stood in the center of the entire trial ground.
Ling Tianxin herself practices fire-based techniques, so this situation is most suitable for her to demonstrate her abilities.
She pouted her red lips and took a deep breath.
By the time she exhaled, it had turned into a blazing fire.
The fire she exhaled was noticeably hotter than the spells of the other disciples.
After being swept by the fire she exhaled, the Golden Beetles were almost instantly roasted.
"You're amazing!"
Lu Yu is the strongest among the few people, but he does not practice fire-based techniques. So if he were to deal with these Golden Beetles, the effect would definitely be less than satisfactory.
Therefore, this round, he simply watched from the side.
Ling Tianxin finally had a chance to show off and she sprayed fire with even more enthusiasm.
Dealing with the beetles was easy for them, but the other disciples of the Greedy Wolf Hall were in a sorry state.
Occasionally, screams could be heard from their surroundings, and then several disciples seemed to have figured it out and ran towards Ling Tianxin and the others, trying to seek refuge within her protective barrier.
But Su Jin had already warned them, and coupled with the fact that these disciples had always supported Cui Tianming, Lu Yu would not let them seek safety.
He quietly set up a protective wall around Ling Tianxin, isolating all these disciples from the outside.
"Senior Sister Su Jin, we are fellow disciples, please help us!"
"Sister Tianxin, we're from the same hometown. Save us..."
These disciples had just been arrogant, but now they had all changed their tune.
"Look at Cui Tianming, he's fine. Go find him, he can protect you."
Lu Yu sneered.
Although Cui Tianming had not been consumed by those bugs yet, he was already at his last breath.
He was now holding a bead in his hand and continuously infusing it with spiritual energy.
"That's the Insect Repelling Bead from the Nine Stars Bead Set, but with his strength, I'm afraid he won't last much longer."
Su Jin immediately recognized the origin of that bead.
In order to ensure Cui Tianming's victory in the Tianji Trial, the Second Elder had really spared no expense.
Just from what they had seen, two beads had been brought into the Tianji Tower.
"Alas, he brought it upon himself."
Lu Yu sighed softly and then turned his head.
Just as he turned his head, Cui Tianming finally ran out of spiritual energy.
He was already heavily injured, and forcibly activating his internal spiritual energy to suppress his injuries allowed him to catch up.
But his injuries were too severe, causing him to only be able to exert one-tenth of his Golden Core stage strength. It was completely within Lu Yu's expectations that he would be devoured by these Golden Beetles.
Originally, Lu Yu was still thinking about how to kill this guy, but now it seems that there is no need to take action.
As Cui Tianming's figure fell, the other disciples of the Greedy Wolf Hall also fell one after another.
In less than a moment, only four people were left in the entire trial ground.
Lu Yu, Ling Tianxin, Su Jin, and Ding San.
Don't underestimate Ding San just because he lost an arm. He has become a strong Gold Core cultivator through his own efforts.
Therefore, he is more skilled in the use of power than the others.
After casting a spell, he only used less than half of his spiritual power to completely eliminate the surrounding golden armored beetles.
Lu Yu also helped Ling Tianxin burn all the beetles to death.
Thus, all the monsters on the twenty-second level of the trial were eliminated.
While they were dealing with the bugs, the second elders outside the Tianji Tower were becoming anxious.
Their eyes had been on Cui Tianming the whole time.
When they saw his spirit eagle fall, all the elders were shocked.
As the recognized genius of the Greedy Wolf Hall, Cui Tianming had always been highly regarded.
But they never expected him to lose his life during the Tianji trial!
"Tianming, my grandson!"
The second elder screamed in anguish, tears streaming down his face.
The other elders hurriedly came over and held the second elder's hand.
"Second elder, please accept our condolences."
"Yes, second elder, please accept our condolences. And we can't be sure that Tianming is in trouble..."
The other elders wanted to comfort the second elder, but the second elder reached out and took out a soul jade slip, silencing all the elders.
This jade slip contained a strand of Cui Tianming's soul. Its shattered state proved that Cui Tianming had already passed away.
"I will kill Lu Yu, I will kill him!"
Within the Tianji Tower, Su Jin was under the command of the Grand Elder, while Ling Tianxin had the support of the Ling family in Chenyue City.
Only Lu Yu, who had no background, was the biggest thorn in their side.
So the second elder's first target for revenge was Lu Yu.
"Achoo..."
After helping Ling Tianxin eliminate a large number of bugs in the Tianji Tower, Lu Yu suddenly sneezed.
"What's wrong? Could it be that you caught a cold?"
Of course, cultivators wouldn't catch a cold, so he felt strange about sneezing.
But soon his attention was diverted.
This time, Ling Tianxin and several other Greedy Wolf Hall disciples burned tens of thousands of golden armored beetles to death.
These beetles were formidable opponents before being burned, but after death, they became a rare material.
Used to refine a spiritual pill that instantly enhances a cultivator's defense.
While the twenty-second round of the competition was underway, Lu Yu filled his storage bags with the corpses of the golden armored beetles.
In no time, his two storage bags were filled to the brim.
"Why do you want those bug corpses, Lu Yu? Do you want to take them back and eat them?"
Ling Tianxin asked with a smile as she saw him holding a bunch of beetle corpses.
"The taste of these things is average, but don't you think I wouldn't eat them? These are excellent materials for pill refinement. Of course, I have to bring back as much as possible. They are quite rare."
Lu Yu said as he picked up the golden armored beetles that had been burned by flames and put them into his storage bags.
Ling Tianxin looked at his determined appearance and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.
After spending so many days together, she had already understood him well.
Perhaps it was time to bring him into the Ling family?
