Lin Chen had never ceased his study of the Spiritual Formation over the past six months. The Spiritual Formation within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron was infinitely mysterious. While the current strength of Lin Chen made it impossible to break the Fire Python Tiger Demon’s Demon Formation, identifying its weaknesses and entering from the outside was quite simple.
At this moment, Lin Chen looked at the likes of Baili Chuifeng before him, filled with utter disdain in his heart.
These guys had boasted about their prowess earlier, and now they were being slapped in the face by reality. Googlᴇ search novel~fire~net
They hadn’t heeded his previous earnest persuasions, and now they were afraid.
If they hadn’t all died, Lin Chen would have to face interrogation from the Jade Cauldron Sect. He truly didn’t want to bother with the life or death of these fools.
"Heh, setting up formations to resist me? With just you trash, it’s nothing but futile effort," sneered Lin Chen.
"Before my Melding Earth Realm cultivation, even if you set up formations, I could destroy them with one strike, all of you go and die," proclaimed the Fire Python Tiger Demon with a haughty roar. It immediately moved, extending its huge paw towards Lin Chen. However, Lin Chen was quick as well, rapidly moving to retreat behind and dodging the Tiger Demon’s attack.
Seeing this, the Tiger Demon knew Lin Chen was no ordinary Martial Artist and turned to attack a female disciple from Liuguang Hall instead.
"Ah... Senior Sister Lu, save me!" The female disciple, seeing the massive body of the Tiger Demon barreling towards her, panicked, her legs trembling in terror, unable to even run, and could only sob loudly.
Lu Feishuang was struggling to save herself; how could she possibly save her?
In a flash, the Tiger Demon’s paw swept by and the female disciple’s body was cleaved in half by a single claw of the Fire Python Tiger Demon, who then indulged in a satisfying meal.
As yet another fellow sect member died tragically, the remaining four female disciples from Liuguang Hall, including Chu Yue, began crying and screaming loudly.
The male disciples from Qing Yi Hall were also terrified, their faces pale; both Baili Chuifeng and Meng Wenchang were frightened beyond belief.
If they were targeted by the Tiger Demon, they feared they would suffer the same fate as the female disciple.
The Tiger Demon’s strength was something none of them could contend with.
"A bunch of idiots, only knowing how to scream loudly, where is your cultivation skill? Can’t you use your spiritual power, can’t you form a formation, what’s the use of just shouting?" Lin Chen reprimanded the panicked crowd with a loud voice.
These idiots—where was the demeanor of a Jade Cauldron Sect disciple in them? If things went on , everyone would die here.
Lin Chen had the Space Compression Talisman, and truly, at the moment of crisis, he could escape immediately, but as people were still alive, there was still hope of resisting the Tiger Demon, and it was not yet time to flee.
"But it’s a Melding Earth Realm demon beast, and we are merely in the Spirit Gathering Realm. Forming a formation against it is impossible," Meng Wenchang said, trembling all over, nowhere resembling the demeanor of a seasoned Outer Sect Disciple.
"A bunch of fools, if you don’t resist, one by one, he will target all of you, and in the end, all of you will die here."
"Look closely at his injuries; despite his Melding Earth Realm aura and strength, he is severely injured and definitely weakened. You haven’t even tried to attempt to resist, and you’re already giving up. Is this the pride of a Jade Cauldron Sect disciple? Everyone, muster your spirits, show your true strength," Lin Chen urged.
"Do not be deceived by his apparent strength. So long as we stand united, we have a chance to defeat him."
Lin Chen looked at the crowd and loudly rebuked.
This speech jolted everyone awake; only then did they realize that they had both been so frightened by the Fire Python Tiger Demon’s formidable strength that they had lost their ability to discern. If the Fire Python Tiger Demon truly had the strength to eliminate them directly, why would it waste its breath? Wouldn’t it be simpler to just strike them all dead?
"Everyone, quickly form up!"
Baili Chuifeng had also noticed that the injuries on the Fire Python Tiger Demon were affecting its strength. Just as Lin Chen had said, the Demon’s strength didn’t seem to be that of the true Melding Earth Realm.
He hurriedly stepped forward and gave the order to everyone.
At this moment, no one cared about Baili Chuifeng’s desire to take charge. They all began to exert their Spiritual Power to start forming the Spiritual Formation.
After Lin Chen’s warning, the crowd glanced at the Fire Python Tiger Demon, whose face now revealed a clearly panicked expression, proving Lin Chen had been right.
They were all experienced disciples, with observational skills not much weaker than Lin Chen’s. It was only due to overwhelming fear that they had lost their ability to discern.
Now, observing carefully, they too noticed the weaknesses and injuries of the Fire Python Tiger Demon.
In their hearts, they couldn’t help but admire Lin Chen, who, faced with such a powerful Fire Python Tiger Demon, could still remain so attentive and calm.
After all, the Demon had just demonstrated its ability to kill in a single blow, a force capable of slaughtering them at will.
At this moment, as everyone formed up and the Spiritual Light converged, a strong Protective Barrier enveloped them all.
"Hmph, a bunch of riffraff. I am a Level 2 Demon Beast with the power of the Melding Earth Realm. Do you really think this Protective Barrier will save you? I could break it with a single strike."
Watching the Protective Barrier created by the crowd, the Fire Python Tiger Demon scoffed and then let out a howl that instinctively made everyone tremble once more.
The aura emanating from the Fire Python Tiger Demon was indeed that of the Melding Earth Realm, undoubtedly genuine, reigniting fear in their hearts.
If the Protective Barrier before them couldn’t protect them, their gathering in close quarters would mean nothing against the Demon’s massive form; a single swipe could likely wipe them out entirely.
"Idiots, don’t get distracted. He’s just trying to intimidate you with his aura, to make you feel fear,"
"As long as everyone stays calm and performs as usual, without letting up our Spiritual Power, he won’t be able to break our Protective Barrier."
"Dumb tiger, stop bluffing. If you really had such immense power, why are you still here wasting words with us? Why not just attack and break the barrier?"
Under the intimidating howl, Lin Chen stared at the Fire Python Tiger Demon, unflinching, and even stepped a few paces forward to the edge of the Protective Barrier, locking eyes with the Demon.
The crowd, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but be startled by Lin Chen’s courage.
If Lin Chen’s judgment was mistaken and the Tiger Demon truly attacked and broke the Protective Barrier, Lin Chen would be the first to die.
Lu Feishuang and Meng Wenchang, among others, felt ashamed. They had once thought Lin Chen was a coward who feared death.
Lin Chen’s actions undisputedly proved them wrong. Compared to Lin Chen’s fearless bravery, they were the ones who truly feared death.
