LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 79: Absolute confidence
"Absolute confidence?"
Li Wei's expression remained calm as he read the small words above the Gu family head's head. Yes, absolute confidence indeed.
The Li family is no longer the Li family that trembled in front of the Hu and Wang families!
Looking at the map, The Li family has already met with the Lantier Wu family.
Clicking on Li Dalong's avatar, Li Wei's perspective shifted.
The scene unfolds on a road winding through the heart of the Silver Iron Forest. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves, casting dancing shadows on the path.
Ahead, a group of sixteen people from the Lantier Wu family had come to a halt, their faces etched with surprise and suspicion.
In front of them...
Li Dalong, carrying a silver coffin engraved with mysterious patterns on his back, stands alone, blocking the path of the Lantier Wu family!
While an ancestral tablet floated beside him, radiating a radiant, milky glow!
"Li Dalong, instead of attacking from the southwest with the Li family, why are you blocking our path?!"
Although he didn't know why Li Dalong was acting this way, Wu Mengqiu already sensed something unusual.
The Wu family members were also on high alert.
"Bang!"
Li Dalong didn't answer, but silently untied the Heaven-Piercing Coffin bound to his body. As the heavy coffin landed on the ground, he stared at the Lantier Wu family as if they were dead.
"Whoosh!"
As soon as he moved, the sound of something piercing the air came from afar!
"Not good!"
Wu Mengqiu's expression changed drastically, and he said in a cold voice, "It's a trap! Activate the formation!"
Following his shout, the Wu family members all looked up.
They saw countless spears converging into a large net in the sky, descending upon them!
The Spear Forest Formation.
It's the formation the Li family obtained from the Hu family. Currently, there are over sixty people in Green Valley Village practicing the Spear Forest Formation.
However, the spears in the sky are not only from the Spear Forest Formation, but also include spears and arrows thrown by other cultivators from Green Valley Village!
The Wu family members are also remarkable.
A Foundation Establishment expert has already flown to the sky on his sword, using his spiritual power to resist the falling spear formation.
But spears and arrows continue to fall from the sky.
Cracks appeared in the Foundation Establishment expert's spiritual power barrier in the blink of an eye.
It's important to know that all the Li family members who can go out to fight use spiritual weapons produced by the Forging Pavilion, and their power is not to be underestimated!
"How dare you, Li Dalong!" Wu Mengqiu's voice crackled with fury. "You actually set a trap to ambush my Wu family! You're courting death!"
He waved his hand, and the Wu family's Foundation Establishment peak cultivator understood his intention. A vast and powerful True Qi surged like a spring, rushing towards Li Dalong.
But with a rumbling sound, The Violet Tempest Python burst out of the ground, carrying the power of heavenly thunder and earthly fire.
With a roar, the Violet Tempest Python blocked the attack of the peak Foundation Establishment expert but didn't linger in the fight. It charged straight towards Wu Mengqiu, the 200-year-old False Golden Core Formation expert of the Wu family!
"Hmph! I've heard that your Li family has a spirit beast and a puppet. Where is the puppet?"
Wu Mengqiu remained calm and unafraid, showing his confidence!
"As you wish."
Seeing Wu Mengqiu's arrogance, Li Wei in front of the screen had already clicked on the War Puppet!
"Boom!"
As Li Wei's eyes rolled back, His consciousness appeared in the game world. The War Puppet, which had already been lying in wait in the Silver Iron Forest, sprang to life, its weapons activated as it took to the air, and charged toward Wu Mengqiu!
Back then, during the great battle in Tailin Town, this War Puppet even lost an arm.
However, in these five years, by retrieving the War Puppet's fragments and utilizing the biotechnology within it, its injuries have long since healed. It's just that some fragments couldn't be recovered, making its exterior appear old and battered.
"Not good!"
Laser cannons roared, and the Violet Tempest Python unleashed a torrent of thunder and fire, yet Wu Mengqiu remained undeterred.
What truly scared him...
Were the demonic beasts rushing in from all directions following the appearance of the War Puppet!
These are the spirit beasts that guard the Pig Demon King in the Silver Iron Forest. The major families from other towns have already left, and now these beasts are also besieging the Wu family. This is a dead end for the Wu family!
This is the current strength of the Li family.
The Li family and the Pig Demon King have become relatives by marriage. Now, the Li family has shown kindness to the Pig Demon King, so the demonic beasts of the Silver Iron Forest are already at the Li family's disposal!
The combined might of the Silver Iron Forest – A full 50 spirit beasts, This was a force that the Li family wouldn't have dared to dream of before. 50 Foundation Establishment stage equivalents! Among them, there were even 4 spirit beasts whose strength was on par with the Violet Tempest Python!
"Run!
Seeing these spirit beasts, Wu Mengqiu was filled with terror. "No matter who it is spread the news! The Silver Iron Forest expedition is a trap set by the Li family. They colluded with the Demon King! They are traitors to the human race!"
"Hahaha, run? I'd like to see how you can escape!"
Li Dalong finally spoke.
Those spirit beasts that rushed over were already perched on the branches, blocking their escape route in the sky.
The terrified Wu family cultivators fled in all directions on the ground.
But soon, their hopes of escape were shattered!
"Crack! Crack!"
The earth trembled as Li Dalong opened the Heaven-Piercing Coffin!
After obtaining this Spirit Treasure, Li Dalong dug up all the corpses buried under the Beast Blood Fruit Tree from the great battle in Tailin Town.
These corpses were all refined into zombies by the Heaven-Piercing Coffin Corpse Control Technique by the Heaven-Piercing Coffin!
One by one, withered hands broke through the soil, revealing their dry hair and bark-like faces. They crawled out from the ground, their bodies even infested with maggots.
Thousands of zombies blocked the Wu family's escape route!
The Li family members and the spirit beasts also joined the battlefield, intercepting the Wu family experts who were trying to escape.
Xu Cuihua transformed into her Sky Moon fox form, wielding the Heavenly Seal, a top-grade spiritual weapon seized from the Wang family. She was even capable of fighting against a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"Thunder Summoning Scripture!"
This technique, learned from the Skyveil Secret Manual, summons heavenly thunder. Xu Cuihua channeled the thunder into the Heavenly Seal, forcing even peak Foundation Establishment cultivators to avoid its edge.
"Phantom Shadow Steps"
"Hundred Shadows Sword light!"
Li Yaozu fought his enemies with unpredictable movements, appearing almost illusory.
He had already mastered the Phantom Shadow Steps through continuous practice with the Heaven-Piercing Coffin. Now, he could create ten clones, each possessing one-tenth of his original power. With the Hundred Shadows Sword light, each thrust generated a hundred sword shadows. Combining these two techniques, the sky was filled with sword shadows, both real and illusory, making him capable of fighting even a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator!
"Quick, quick, quick! Entangle him, and I'll smash him to death!"
Only Li Yaotie seemed a bit out of place, wielding a massive hammer even thicker than his own body and calling upon a tree demon to help him entangle a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.
His severed left arm, once fitted with a weak prosthetic, had been reforged with alchemical fire after his breakthrough. Now, it had become a spiritual weapon, capable of effortlessly lifting a thousand pounds!
He grasped the massive hammer with both hands, seemingly without any pressure at all!
With each swing of the hammer, a burst of blood and flesh erupted.
