Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 114 - 113: Loss (Please subscribe!)

”Damn it!” Li Zhirui watched the Water Devils in the river getting closer to Spirit Lake and couldnʼt help but curse under his breath.

But now he was so low on Mana that he couldnʼt stop their attack, and it wasnʼt just his problem—the other clanspeople on the Spirit Boat were in the same situation.

Even some clanspeople with lower cultivation had restored their Mana several times with Spirit-Replenishing Pills, and even after full assimilation, their meridians were somewhat unable to bear it.

Li Zhirui could only race against time to recover some more Mana and strive to hold back the Water Devils for a moment longer.

”Why havenʼt Ren Uncle and the others come yet? Could it be that there are many Water Devils to the south as well?” Thinking of this, Li Zhiruiʼs heart couldnʼt stop sinking.

If that was the case, then what the Li family would have to face would be the most critical moment since moving to Da Rong Island ten years ago!

”Boom!”

Those Water Devils were like fearlessly ferocious puppets; despite Li Zhirui and the othersʼ attacks, they swam crazily forward. Not to mention with their Mana now exhausted, they were powerless to stop the Water Devils from swimming towards Spirit Lake.

All they could do was watch helplessly as they frenziedly attacked the Formation of Spirit Lake, causing the various Spirit Beasts in the lake to swim about in panic.

And with the frequency of the Water Devilsʼ attacks, the Formation would likely be broken in less than a quarter of an hour!

As for the Formations in Spirit Lake that separated the territories of various Spirit Beasts, they were now on the verge of collapse, teetering on the brink of shattering.

After all, they were only simple first-level Formations with not much defensive power.

”Crack!”

The internal Formation shattered, and the Green-headed Fish, White Water Shrimp, Flower-scaled Fish, and other Spirit Beasts were left with no barriers between them.

The Black Ducks even took advantage of this opportunity to capture and devour the young of these three types of Spirit Beasts, showing no signs of the fear from before, but rather excitedly roaming and preying in Spirit Lake.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhiruiʼs heart ached unbearably. In just a small moment, dozens of Spirit Beasts had been eaten by the Black Ducks, and if sold at the Cloudtop Pavilion, they could have fetched at least a thousand Spirit Stones.

But now he had no time to care about this, as the Defensive Formation of Spirit Lake was on the verge of collapse. It could possibly be broken with the next strike, allowing the Water Devils to surge into the lake and savagely prey upon the various Spirit Beasts, causing even greater losses!

”Get away from me!” Li Zhirui used the last of his Mana to conjure up a ball of pitch-black Corrosive Water and blended it into the river water, hoping to poison the Water Devils so the Defensive Formation could hold on a bit longer.

Indeed, quite a few Water Devils were poisoned, writhing painfully in the water, but compared to the entire horde, this was nothing. Countless more continued to assault the Formation.

”Itʼs over!” The same thought arose in the minds of everyone present.

The Water Devils burst into Spirit Lake, like wolves among sheep. The Green-headed Fish and the like couldnʼt stop their predation, only falling prey to them.

Li Zhirui and the others could only act quickly to save some of the younglings, ensuring that the high-quality Spirit Beasts that the family had cultivated for hundreds of years wouldnʼt be completely decimated.

”Damn beasts!” A loud roar suddenly came from afar. Li Shiren was seen standing on the back of the Jade Beak Eagle, flying at top speed towards Spirit Lake.

He was originally traveling on the Spirit Boat heading towards Li Zhiruiʼs location but sensed that the Formation inside Spirit Lake was breached on his way. Without a second thought, he abandoned the Spirit Boat, rushing over on the Jade Beak Eagle, but he was still a step too late.

Li Shiren, filled with rage, took action without bothering to calculate positions and directly set up a Frost Array.

As soon as the Great Array was activated, a cold wind blew over the vast Spirit Lake. It was the most lethal Formation he had.

”Explode!” With a flick of his fingers, the newly established Formation exploded instantly, killing a large number of Water Devils on the spot. The cold air spread from the Formation, and a thin layer of ice formed on the lakeʼs surface.

As for the Spirit Beasts in Spirit Lake, Li Zhirui and the others had already rescued many of them. Those who couldnʼt be saved in time also perished in this frost storm.

Li Zhirui and the others watched dumbfounded at the display, never imagining that an Array Master could be so ferociously powerful!

Of course, they also knew that Li Shirenʼs outburst was built upon a vast amount of Spirit Stones, and as far as Li Zhirui knew, making a single Frost Array required at least one to two thousand Spirit Stones.

But there was no denying it—the strike was effective!

The frozen Spirit Lake blocked the path for many Water Devils in the river. They tried to break the ice and continue deeper into Da Rong Island but were slaughtered by Li Shiren and the Jade Beak Eagleʼs attacks.

And when Li Zhirui and the others had restored their Mana and a dozen more clanspeople from the south arrived, since they had nothing to defend, they could attack frantically from the sky without needing defense, and the Water Devils were beaten helplessly, like lambs to the slaughter!

After the mass slaughter, the surviving Water Devils, in a hurry, turned and fled towards the ocean.

These Water Devils had low Spiritual Intelligence. Their relentless onslaught and fearlessness, refusing to retreat, were because they were compelled and controlled by higher-level Water Devils.

But now that they were free from control, they were too eager to escape to consider staying.

And the Water Devils at the other two battlefronts did the same, even though they had the upper hand. Once they regained their senses, they did not choose to stay but fled towards the sea.

”Shiren, stop chasing!” Li Shilian, seeing that he wanted to pursue and kill more Water Devils, quickly spoke up to stop him.

Li Zhirui also advised, ”Ren Uncle, can you please first help with cleaning up Spirit Lake and then set up the Formation again? Weʼve saved some Spirit Beasts; letʼs settle them down as soon as possible.”
