Clan Cultivation: Starting from Foundation Establishment on Mount Luoxia

"Hahaha... Xuanfeng, isn't your second grandpa awesome?"

Li Xuanfeng had just recovered from his shock when he saw Li Xiaoyao appear beside him. He quickly bowed respectfully, his voice still trembling with excitement:

"Second Grandpa! That's awesome!!!"

Li Xiaoyao nodded in satisfaction, but his gaze fell on a spot about 150 feet outside the defensive line.

There, a brief lull occurred because the evil beasts were cleared out later.

At this moment, there was an exceptionally majestic "Rock-Armored Boar" demonic beast, nearly ten feet tall at the shoulders, covered in thick, rock-like armor, with fangs like halberds.

It smashed through several of its kind, letting out a furious roar, its crimson eyes fixed on the defensive line.

Its body was surrounded by churning, earthy-yellow aura, clearly indicating that it was a formidable opponent at the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining, renowned for its defense and strength.

"Xuanfeng".

Li Xiaoyao spoke, his tone playful.

"Your grandson is here!"

Li Xuanfeng straightened his back.

Li Xiaoyao gestured with his chin towards the rock-armored boar that was pawing at its hooves, preparing to charge:

"Did you see that big guy? It's tough and strong; even a Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator might not be willing to fight it head-on. Just now, it seemed to have some issues with me."

Li Xuanfeng looked in that direction and felt a chill run down his spine. He could clearly feel the heavy oppressive aura emanating from the rock-armored boar.

"Go! Shoot those two arrows at that son of a bitch!!!"

Li Xiaoyao turned his head to look at his grand-nephew holding the bow, a look of expectation flashing in his eyes.

"This will bring honor to your master, your father, and the entire Li family."

"Let Second Grandfather see if the arrows taught by An Jingming can actually... penetrate this layer of rock."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuanfeng's pupils suddenly contracted, and his breathing became heavier.

Second Grandfather is testing me! After that miraculous fire display, under the watchful eyes of many cultivators!

Without the slightest hesitation, he nodded emphatically, his eyes instantly blazing with fighting spirit: "Your grandson obeys!"

He turned sharply, once again facing the rock-armored boar that was accelerating its charge, rolling towards him like a chariot.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing all distracting thoughts, his eyes fixed only on his target and the Cloud Piercing Bow that had been with him for thirteen years.

He ignored all the gazes around him, whether expectant or curious.

He slowly raised his bow, his movements as solemn as a mountain.

Within the body, the "Golden Thread Floating Cloud Technique" circulated at an unprecedented speed.

The Geng metal spiritual power, which was based on the second-grade righteous energy of "Geng Bai Fu Jin", was more active and concentrated than ever before.

The subtle threads not only flowed into the arrow, but also subtly connected with his mind, the bowstring, and the approaching aura of the ferocious beast ahead.

Not far behind him, An Jingming's cloudy old eyes flashed with an unprecedented glint. His lips moved slightly, but he didn't utter a sound. He just stared intently at his disciple's every move.

The rock-armored boar charged closer and closer, hundreds of feet, eighty feet, sixty feet... The earth trembled and roared beneath its hooves, and a ferocious aura swept over us.

Just as it rushed into the fifty-zhang range, reaching the peak of its momentum—

A golden glint flashed in Li Xuanfeng's eyes, as if tiny golden runes were flowing in his pupils for a moment. That was an extremely profound mental technique from the "Cloud Piercing Arrow Technique," which he might not succeed even once out of ten attempts.

"Go!"

The low shout did not come from the throat, but rather from the tremor of the mind and spiritual energy resonating together.

When the bowstring twanged, the sound was like tearing silk!

The arrow leaves the bow!

This time, there was no sharp whistling sound as the arrow pierced the air; the arrow itself even appeared somewhat blurry.

It seemed to blend into the light and airflow, leaving only a faint, almost invisible, distorted, pale golden trail in the air.

It shot straight at the center of the rock-armored boar's forehead—the thickest part of its armor, but also possibly the hub where its vital energy connects!

The rock-armored boar seemed to sense a deadly threat and suddenly tilted its head during the charge, trying to use its thick bone armor on the side to block.

However, the pale golden trajectory also underwent an extremely slight deflection in the air!

puff--!

A deep, penetrating sound.

The arrow did not hit the thickest part of its forehead, nor did it hit the relatively weak spot on the side of its neck exposed after it turned its head.

Instead, it slipped inside through a tiny gap above its eye socket where the bone and armor meet!

The massive body of the Rock Armored Boar, which was charging wildly, suddenly froze, as if it had been frozen in place.

Its fierce red eyes quickly dimmed.

The momentum of its forward run caused it to stagger for another dozen steps before its front legs gave way and it collapsed to its knees.

The enormous head slammed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, and then fell silent.

An arrow fletching, trembling slightly, rested in the fatal slit above its eye socket.

One arrow, piercing through the gap, kills the enemy!

"Excellent archery!!"

After a brief silence, thunderous cheers erupted from Qinggangpo!

The precision, courage, and timing of this arrow were absolutely superb!

Especially after Li Xiaoyao's stunning fire attack that shocked the entire audience, this arrow seemed to interpret the pinnacle of "skill" in another way!

Li Xuanfeng swayed, his face pale. That arrow had almost exhausted his mind and spiritual power, but his eyes burned with an unprecedented light.

He looked at Li Xiaoyao.

A clear smile of approval appeared on Li Xiaoyao's face as he nodded: "Piercing through armor and breaking through gaps, striking the vital points directly."

"Not bad, this arrow is worthy of your thirteen years of hard work and does not disgrace your master's name."

He raised his hand, and a gentle, pure spiritual energy flowed into Li Xuanfeng's body from a distance, helping him calm his turbulent blood and qi.

"Rest and recuperate; the real tough battle is probably yet to come."

After saying that, Li Xiaoyao's figure faded away, as if blending into the wind, and disappeared from Qinggangpo in the next moment.

In the blink of an eye, they appeared at the second line of defense, fifteen miles to the north—the Black Pine Forest.

His divine sense detected several powerful auras slowly approaching from the direction of the sanctuary.

The terrain here is rugged, and the defense line relies on stone passes and formations, making it more solid than that of Qinggangpo.

Li Xiangping and Wang Shouzhou, the head of the Wang family, stood side by side on a protruding rock platform, looking down at the cultivators who had just repelled the first wave of beasts and were now busy repairing their defenses.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood.

Li Xiaoyao fell silently.

"Second Uncle!"

"Fellow Daoist Xiaoyao".

The two noticed at the same time and turned around to bow.

"How is the situation?"

Li Xiaoyao's gaze swept across the battlefield, his tone calm.

Li Xiangping quickly replied, "We repelled a wave of about two hundred, and five more were killed later. Our side suffered minor injuries."

"But the malevolent energy in the forest is gathering even more intensely, and the second wave is coming soon, on a larger scale."

His eyes burned with fighting spirit, showing no fear.

Holding the array plate, Wang Shouzhou calmly added, "The earth's veins have been disturbed, limiting the array's power. The next wave may be tough."

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a master of formations, he was resolute and spoke with calm analysis.

Li Xiaoyao nodded slightly, his divine sense already penetrating the churning black mist ahead.

He saw that three auras, far more powerful than before, were taking shape and approaching.

Almost at the same moment his divine sense locked on, a deafening roar erupted from the depths of the black pine forest!

The earth roared, the black mist exploded, and three enormous black figures, carrying an even more ferocious aura, charged out first!

Following behind were hordes of ferocious beasts, their quality significantly higher than the previous wave.
