Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 212 Mine Battle
"The formation is broken!"

The images on the stone wall deeply distressed Li Xiangren and the others.

In a short while, the Maojing Mine was filled with the roar of magic.

Countless mountains and buildings were destroyed, and some miners hiding inside let out terrible screams.

As for the cultivators inside, they weren't much better off.

Besides Li Qianxiao and Li Dong, who are currently dealing with the situation.

The rest of the group suffered repeated defeats, with Li Qiangui and Yu Liu, who were more skilled, being the main targets and getting injured in just a few rounds.

The Li family members watched with gritted teeth, wishing they could be there in person and fight the Mountain Moving Sect to the death.

"Has Sang-woo not arrived yet?"

Li Xiangru muttered to himself, even though he strongly opposed Li Xiangyu's support for the Maojing Mine.

But since the people have already been sent out, it's only a matter of time before they join the battle. The sooner they arrive, the less burden Li Qianxiao will have.

As he finished speaking, a fiery red figure suddenly flashed out from the stone wall.

Li Xiangyu had long since abandoned his disguise as a member of the Shengyi Sect. At this moment, he was dressed in a bright red robe, with countless flames surging behind him, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, as he swept past the Maojing Mine with a scorching aura.

"what!"

A disciple of the Moving Mountain Sect who was attacking the mine buildings in mid-air screamed in agony. His body was engulfed in flames as he soared into the sky, but after flying for less than two breaths, he crashed to the ground and turned into a charred corpse.

"who?"

The disciples of the Moving Mountain Sect were shocked and stopped their attacks, turning their gazes to the fiery red figure.

"Xiangyu?"

"Spiritual fire?"

Two exclamations rang out almost simultaneously, as Li Qianxiao and Li Dong immediately noticed Li Xiangyu's arrival.

Li Qianxiao's expression changed slightly, and unease welled up in his heart. Li Xiangyu was not on the list of personnel stationed at Maojing Mine.

Does his presence here mean that something has happened to Lee Sang-in?
Li Dong licked his lips, a greedy glint in his eyes.

The newcomer's brief attack had already allowed him to sense the extraordinary power contained within the flames.

And this power was actually possessed by a mere Qi Refining cultivator!

He immediately shouted the order: "Capture this man, and the sect will reward him handsomely!"

After saying that, he even wanted to get rid of Li Qianxiao and personally capture Li Xiangyu.

But Li Qianxiao saw through Li Dong's intentions at a glance and tried his best to stop him.

Li Xiangyu is the family's precious treasure; we absolutely cannot allow him to be harmed.

He roared and produced a seal the size of a fist.

As the magical power flowed, the seal continued to rotate and grow larger, eventually becoming like a small mountain that crashed down on Li Dong.

Li Dong laughed loudly: "Don't you know that what we are best at is moving mountains and filling seas?"

When the mountain seal attacked, Li Dong neither dodged nor evaded, but instead raised his arms and stood in front of it.

Not only was it not pulverized, but it also pushed Li Qianxiao's magical artifact back.

"What a trick!"

Behind him, Ao Sheng exclaimed in admiration, "How many people can withstand a magical artifact with their bare body?"
Although he disliked Li Dong's character intensely, he couldn't help but admire the man's cultivation and methods.

The reason why the Soul Suppressing Sect went to great lengths to win over the Mountain Moving Sect was precisely because they valued the sect's exceptional combat abilities.

When the topic of magical combat came up, Ao Sheng frowned.

As far as he knew, the Li family of Dangui Mountain was also known for their martial arts skills and had even been favored by the Hengyue Sect at one time.

However, he now has the advantage of favorable timing and popular support.

The Li family consists of only a handful of people; they cannot possibly compete with him.

Just as Ao Sheng was making plans, a scream suddenly came from the battlefield.

But this time, the scream came not from the Li family, but from a disciple of the Moving Mountain Sect.

Ao Sheng stared intently and saw that the young man in red was surrounded by raging flames with a wave of his hand, his aura was extremely astonishing.

The Mountain Moving Sect dispatched more than ten people to surround him, but they couldn't do anything to him. Instead, they made him look like a war god. "Is this the power of the innate spiritual fire?"

Ao Sheng was secretly alarmed. With his knowledge, he naturally noticed the special features of the man in red.

While ordinary magical flames should not be touched, if one is accidentally injured by them, one can extinguish them with more magic.

Spiritual fire is different. It is born of heaven and earth, often possesses its own unique attributes, and has extremely strong vitality.

Speaking of which, earth fire is also a type of innate spiritual fire.

However, earth fire is a relatively low-level spiritual fire. Although it has spirituality, it is not enough for cultivators to control.

The flames on the man in red looked somewhat like the Crimson Flame Spirit Fire.

The Crimson Flame is renowned for its extremely high temperature and its ability to incinerate everything.

It can not only burn matter, but even destroy magic.

Once tainted by the Crimson Flame Spirit Fire, it is difficult to extinguish quickly even with magical power.

More importantly, the Crimson Flame Spirit Fire and magical power complement each other. Magical power can enhance the power of the spirit fire, while the spirit fire can reduce the consumption of magical power.

In other words, the young man in red, wielding the spirit fire, could unleash tremendous power with just a fraction of his magical strength, while the disciples of the Mountain Moving Sect had to use three, five, or even more of their magical strength to deal with it.

As one side gains and the other loses, the other's ability to sustain combat will be greatly enhanced.

"This can't go on like this!"

Ao Sheng frowned and looked toward the battlefield where Li Dong was.

Although Li Dong seemed to have the upper hand, the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Li family was no simple man either, taking out several different high-grade magic artifacts in succession, showing that he was well prepared.

This person used delaying tactics to the fullest extent, and considering the sudden appearance of Li Xiangyu, Ao Sheng had a vague sense of unease.

Just then, Li Xiangyu let out a roar, his whole body burst into flames, and eleven fiery wheels shot into the sky, like shooting stars streaking across the sky, dazzling and spectacular.

These flying wheels separated and merged in the air, scattering countless sparks and illuminating the entire battlefield like a fiery cloud.

"Oh no, it's the Li family's Flying Flame Wheel!"

The disciples of the Moving Mountain Sect who were besieging Li Xiangyu changed their expressions drastically, retreated in fear.

Li Xiangyu had already locked onto his target, and eleven fiery flying wheels roared toward a disciple of the Moving Mountain Sect at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The disciple, his face filled with terror, hurriedly raised a shield in an attempt to block the fatal blow.

However, the flying wheel was unstoppable. The shield artifact made a hissing sound under the powerful impact of the flames, and then fell to the ground, its spiritual light gone, clearly destroyed.

As for the person behind the shield, they turned to ashes in an instant.

"Damn it, it's the Flying Flame Wheel unleashed by the Crimson Flame Spirit Fire!"

Ao Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes were fixed on Li Xiangyu.

Spiritual fire might be obtained through chance, but the Flying Flame Wheel is the symbol of the core disciples of the Li family.

The combination of these two points is enough to prove Li Xiangyu's identity—he is definitely the most important genius disciple of the Li family in this generation.

If they could kill him here, it would be a heavy blow to the Li family, and they would be unable to recover for at least thirty years.

Thinking of this, Ao Sheng's expression turned urgent, and he shouted, "This man is worth more than ten Maojing mines! Forget about the others, kill him first!"

The disciples of the Moving Mountain Sect who were still besieging the mine turned around, their faces showing hesitation.

Ao Sheng was not a member of the Moving Mountain Sect, so he could not directly give orders to them.

Li Dong had previously made it clear that he wanted to capture the other party alive.

While the disciples of the Moving Mountain Sect hesitated, Li Xiangyu erupted once again, like a fiery war god, chasing after more than ten people and killing four or five before stopping to recuperate.

Those disciples who had witnessed the power of the Flying Flame Wheel were already intimidated and quickly distanced themselves, fearing they would fall behind. Some even crossed the position where Ao Sheng was standing.

"Stop! What are you doing? Attack!"

Upon seeing this, Ao Sheng felt a surge of anger and began cursing at the Mountain Moving Sect disciples beside him.

Some people remembered their master's orders and stopped, but no one went back to fight desperately.

For a time, the disciples of the Moving Mountain Sect split into two groups. One group scattered and fled under Li Xiangyu's fierce pursuit, while the other group looked at each other in the depths of the mine.

But regardless of which group it was, no one dared to approach the young man in red at this time.
