637. Successful stalemate
A fully-fledged semi-saint expert like Qing Lin might not be a match for him, but a semi-saint at the peak of Dou Zun with 70% of his strength would definitely be a match for him.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Lei Jingxiao is really that important, or that his reckless attacks could actually affect a half-saint level expert.
What Tianming Old Demon truly feared was Qinglin himself!
The moment they exchanged blows, the Heavenly Demon Lord noticed Qing Lin's unusual nature: this person was incredibly energetic, seemingly never tiring. Despite having just exhausted all her strength to break through the Spirit Clan's great formation, in that short time, after using a Heaven-Rank battle technique, her battle energy seemed completely undiminished, showing no signs of exhaustion in their fight. At first, the Heavenly Demon Lord even thought Qing Lin was constantly squeezing out her own battle energy to hold her own, but after so long, Qing Lin showed no signs of fatigue. Even if she was faking it, Qing Lin's act was too convincing!
Moreover, Tianming Laoyao's eyesight was still sharp; he could truly see that Qinglin indeed possessed boundless vitality. Given his combat experience, Tianming Laoyao still held the upper hand, but he himself couldn't match Qinglin's inexhaustible and tireless energy.
This is also Qinglin's greatest strength. Since meeting Mingmei in the Myriad Beasts Space, she has embarked on the most correct path. She has never taken a detour. Mingmei's confidence in stating that Qinglin cannot learn anything outside of her planned curriculum before reaching the Five-Star Dou Sheng realm demonstrates that she is confident and has already arranged everything for Qinglin before she reaches the Five-Star Dou Sheng realm.
The cultivation technique is of the highest Heaven Rank, and it is even the most suitable technique for the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, which Mingmei summarized based on her life experience in her attempt to become a Dou Di.
In terms of combat techniques, Mingmei divided all the combat techniques she had collected throughout her life into batches, ranked by strength, and sealed them within Qinglin's Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil. These techniques could be unsealed once Qinglin's strength reached a certain level. In fact, the techniques Qinglin used to kill Ling Zhuo and break the Spirit Clan's grand formation were the two Heavenly Rank combat techniques she had already mastered.
Regarding Qinglin's physical condition, Mingmei had already arranged the most suitable medicinal solution for her, ensuring its long-term use. Some time ago, she also exchanged the blood essence of the King Blood Nine Netherworld Python, which Qinglin had specially raised.
It can be said that Qing Lin's current strength on paper is flawless; she can only win against any Dou Zun powerhouse. Facing Tianming Laoyao, a half-saint powerhouse, although she was temporarily at a disadvantage due to the difference in strength, she is still very young and not afraid of a prolonged battle.
When Xiao Yan and Wei Jiangyuan stood together, it seemed almost pointless to try and find an opportunity to help each other out!
The reason is simple: Qing Lin used Lei Jingxiao's body as a shield to hold off the semi-saint powerhouse Tianming Laoyao!
Judging from the current momentum, Qing Lin can definitely hold out if he just wants to keep them occupied. It wouldn't make much sense for Xiao Yan and the others to rush in and help despite their own exhaustion, because it would be difficult for Qing Lin to kill Tianming Lao Yao on the spot. On the contrary, the two of them would be in danger if they were to run into him.
Both Xiao Yan and Wei Jiangyuan were somewhat surprised at this moment. Putting aside their opponents, even Xiao Yan, who had spent a lot of time with Qing Lin, was completely unaware that Qing Lin's strength was not only formidable but also incredibly powerful.
"Qinglin is truly powerful," Wei Jiangyuan said with some admiration.
"Old Xiao, we're free now. Should we break the formation or kill the Half-Saint first?" Wei Jiangyuan asked Xiao Yan.
The grand formation was definitely damaged by Qing Lin's attack just now; anyone with eyes could see that. Wei Jiangyuan had clearly come up with the best way to break the deadlock, and there were two of them! However, his and Xiao Yan's strength was still insufficient in the current battle, so they had to act together to add more variables to this chaotic situation.
When this question was posed to Xiao Yan, he didn't hesitate for long before finally answering, "Break the formation!"
After all, he wasn't absent from the battle with the Heavenly Demon King; the pressure from a half-saint level was simply too terrifying for them! Even the slightest contact could result in serious injury. He and Wei Jiangyuan were both very strong, but all they could do was interfere.
Four people can kill a half-saint? Xiao Yan did not underestimate a half-saint powerhouse.
Although he had previously dealt with a half-saint, Xuan Leizi, the Spirit Clan's energy was now nearly depleted, and without the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, he could only fuse a four-colored fire lotus at most. Xiao Yan was unsure whether the four colors could harm a half-saint, especially since the half-saint before him was clearly stronger than Xuan Leizi.
"Then hurry! I sense someone is repairing this great formation!"
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and the two of them moved their power and headed towards the gap that Qing Lin had cut open earlier.
The two had barely arrived when they saw a Spirit Clan member wearing a ghost mask wielding a massive array plate, continuously releasing power identical to that of the Spirit Clan's grand array. Clearly, the person repairing the breach was him!
Ling Fengzhui was also somewhat surprised to see the two people in front of him. He obviously did not expect that Xiao Yan and Wei Jiangyuan could break through the blockade of Tianming Laoyao so quickly and come here.
However, his hands didn't stop moving at all; he continued to pour battle energy into the array plate. His array plate was already one level higher than those of ordinary spirit race members, and with the addition of his spirit guards, the gap in the great array was about to be completely filled. He wouldn't stop halfway.
"Looks like we've arrived just in time." Wei Jiangyuan chuckled maliciously at Ling Fengzhui. "Let's join forces, kill and destroy formations together!"
Then, emerald green flames suddenly burst forth from Wei Jiangyuan's body, gradually coalescing in front of him. Wei Jiangyuan's hands also continuously formed strange hand seals, and the emerald green flames constantly condensed and combined in mid-air, finally forming a faint palm print shape.
Xiao Yan didn't hesitate either. Now that there were no Spirit Clan members guarding this place, regardless of the Spirit Clan's intentions, this was absolutely the best opportunity to break the formation! With such an opportunity right in front of them, anyone would definitely seize it.
The fiery ruler formed from the Crimson Lotus Heart Flame pointed towards the gap in the great formation, and illusory light and shadow gradually took shape behind Xiao Yan, causing the clamor of the battlefield where thousands of troops had gathered to reverberate.
Two extremely powerful attacks continued to coalesce, but Ling Fengzhui seemed oblivious, barely even glancing at Xiao Yan and Wei Jiangyuan's movements. He simply continued to pour his battle qi into the array plate.
The three of them maintained a brief moment of silence, but the time it took for Xiao Yan and the other to gather their attack power was only a short while, as their attack took shape first.
