Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate Chapter 2188: 1119: War of Attrition

With a resolute choice made, Song Chufeng cast a cold gaze back at the Blood Red Alliance disciples before speaking in a frigid tone.

“Everyone, prepare to strike.”

As the command left his lips, Song Chufeng turned his attention forward, a flash of brilliance erupting from his hand as a profound spiritual treasure materialized. Without further delay, he launched the opening volley.

“Boom…”

Thunderous vibrations echoed as resplendent beams of light tore through the firmament. Instantly, a barrage of attacks descended toward the heart of the Lin Family Clan Grounds.

The mountainous terrain, previously steady, suddenly underwent a drastic transformation as the projectiles drew near. An ethereal veil of light shimmered into existence, shielding Song Chufeng and his companions from view. Broadly observed, the barrier appeared deceptively fragile; a casual glance might even lead one to overlook its presence entirely.

However, the gathering comprised the elite force of the Blood Red Alliance, led by the formidable Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse, Song Chufeng. Furthermore, Xiao Chen and Xie Feng—both seasoned Third Order Array Masters—possessed the expertise to perceive what the untrained eye might miss. Such a barrier was never destined to escape their scrutiny.

Under their concentrated gaze, the multiple strikes collided with the Five Elements Light Screen. Ripples cascaded across the previously mirror-like surface. As the vibrations settled, the attacks vanished entirely, seemingly devoured by the intangible screen.

Song Chufeng’s expression darkened instantly. His companions, Xiao Chen and Xie Feng, mirrored his grim countenance as they processed the sight. As Third Order Array Masters, they were capable of gauging the true magnitude of the Lin Family’s Mountain Protection Array based on that brief exchange.

In their estimation, the defensive formation was remarkably potent, effortlessly absorbing strikes from Nascent Soul Stage experts without a hint of instability. An effect that could neutralize such power so cleanly was an extreme rarity even among Fourth Order formations. This revelation did not escape the attention of Xiao Chen and Xie Feng. Even without further probing, they understood that shattering this defense through mere brute force would be a gargantuan undertaking—one that even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator would struggle to accomplish in a short span.

While Song Chufeng lacked the technical expertise of an Array Master, his millennium of life provided him with vast experience against various defensive fortifications. Yet, it had been an age since he had encountered a marvel like the Lin Family’s defense. He privately acknowledged that the combination of the legacy left by the Yuanchen Sect and the Lin Family’s relentless refinements had birthed an formidable shield.

What eluded him was the extent of the Lin Family’s commitment. Over the years, they had invested countless resources and invited various masters to fortify the array. Since the Ancient Demon Secret Realm expedition, the clan had remained in a state of high-alert. Recently, to safeguard Lin Tianming’s seclusion as he sought to reach the Nascent Soul Stage, the family had pushed the Mountain Protection Array to its absolute limit. Upon learning of the Blood Red Alliance’s mobilization, the entire clan moved with the urgency of someone facing certain death, ensuring every member remained at their post.

This deep, multilayered foundation allowed the Mountain Protection Array to display such terrifying defensive resilience. For Song Chufeng, this was a major obstacle. The two array specialists, Xiao Chen and Xie Feng, shared his rising dread.

Despite the immense difficulty, retreat was not an option for Song Chufeng. The threat of Lin Tianming’s successful breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage loomed over them like a death sentence. Song Chufeng knew Lin Tianming’s potential and combat prowess all too well; should the breakthrough conclude successfully, the annihilation of the Lin Family would become a mathematical impossibility.

Every passing moment elevated the risk for the Blood Red Alliance. Song Chufeng had to press the offensive and dismantle the Mountain Protection Array before Lin Tianming could cement his arrival at the Nascent Soul Stage, thereby forcing a catastrophic interruption of his cultivation. Ideally, he wished to strike while Lin Tianming was still navigating the perils of the Sixfold Thunder Tribulation or recovering from the shock. In that weakened state, extinguishing the genius would be trivial. However, should Lin Tianming finish his breakthrough and stabilize his new Cultivation Realm, Song Chufeng feared he would not only fail to kill his opponent but might find his own escape impossible.
