Rise of the Great Emperor Chapter 239: Against Beast Rank 5

Chapter 239: Against Beast Rank 5

While Lin Xiao felt a bit awkward of the sudden addition to his family members, both Prince Lin San and Prince Lin Xian maintained their distance. They slowly closed the gap so that they would not make Lin Xiao uncomfortable and grew closer over the past few months.
Another four months flashed by, which meant that they were already in the forest for half a year, and there was no sign of their older brother appearing. The others didn't find it strange since they knew that their brother was stronger and naturally busier.
At the same time, Lin Xiao continued to practice his skill.
"There's beast rank 5 in front of us. Do you want to fight it?" Prince Lin San asked. His current strength was more or less the same with Lin Xiao, probably even slightly lower since he was not someone who focused on combat. However, he still had good use of his eyes, which could identify his enemies' weakness easily.
Lin Xiao's eyes shone. He nodded. "I want to know how my ability compared to Golden Core State Cultivators will be. Originally, I plan to just test my power but with you guys around, it's not impossible to hunt one, right?"
Not to mention, the lucrative contribution points once they succeed…
It would definitely make them finish their mission faster.
Prince Lin San laughed as if he could read Lin Xiao's mind. "Well, sure. We have confidence in our movement skills too."
Lin Xiao nodded and looked at the others. Survival was always the priority and when they were at lower cultivation rank, the skill that they had to prioritize was their movement and escaping skill. It would prove to be very beneficial when they faced someone stronger than them.
But if the gap was too big… in front of absolute power, all tricks and scheme were useless.
Princess Lan Yi Hua nodded. "We'll be able to run away too if we can't deal with the beast. Don't worry about us."
"Alright. Let's go then."
"Wait, make sure that you have concrete plan before you go out, Brother." Lin Yun quickly stopped his brother before he made reckless decision. Knowing Lin Xiao, who would often just use his fist and think on the battle, he had to stop Lin Xiao first. That method would work on Lin Xiao but not others.
Many of them needed to prepare the plan meticulously before they set off or they might not even be able to stay alive.
"Five of us will engage in close combat. Lu Jian will help by controlling the crowd with his voice…. Make sure that you exclude us from your voice please. And then, the others tried to keep the other beasts' busy." Lin Xiao smiled.
Those in Lin Xiao group sighed and nodded to signal that they understood. On the other hand, Prince Lin San and Prince Lin Xian was speechless. It seemed that their little brother was a bit…peculiar.
The way Lin Xiao gave his command was vague, but since it was vague, it was also simple and could be done easily. The only problem was when they couldn't match each other's pace and might need to ask for help.
The other two princes quickly gave detailed instruction to their men in case they couldn't understood Lin Xiao's vague instruction. It would be better than getting themselves annihilated on the spot.
"Let's go!"
Rushing in the forest, the five of them: Prince Lin San, Prince Lin Xian, Lin Xiao, Princess Lan Yi Hua, and Fan Ling, were at the front. The others were following from behind as they erased their presence and sneaked closer to the beast.
With their current skill, erasing their presence was a piece of cake. However, the beast rank 5 immediately recognized them when they were within 100 meters' range. Clearly, they couldn't underestimate the beast at all.
"Prepare for combat!"
Swish!
Princess Lan Yi Hua always rushed first and her presence would disappear completely when she made her movement skill. It was as if the skill was not only used to move faster but also to ambush someone without them prepared. It was really amazing and even after seeing a few times, they still felt that the princess was like an assassin.
Slash!
The beast rank five was a large bear. It was over four times their size and roared angrily when Princess Lan Yi Hua scratched its' skin.
"Body's strength is around 15 or more," Princess Lan Yi Hua shouted. It also meant that her weapon couldn't' work well anymore. Her physical strength was at 13 after she had broken through to Foundation Establishment and her attack could mostly injure those at the same rank and created damage at those at 14. Since this was barely a scratch, the defense should be around 15.
Roar!
As the bear roared angrily, Fan Ling stopped in her pace as her fan fluttered and pointed to the beast. A light shot towards the bear, yet it shattered even before it could get close. Her eyes narrowed.
"Qi Shield!"
After being provoked by Princess Lan Yi Hua, the beast showed its skill, which was to create a defensive Qi. If the attack was not strong enough, they wouldn't be able to break it.
"Let me." Prince Lin San's hand took out a sword out of nowhere. He pointed at the front and then moved swiftly to one side before stabbing at the shield.
Crack!
The shield shattered.
At this time, Lin Xiao could see that Prince Lin San's eyes glowed a bit. While it was hidden within his bangs and the light was not too noticeable, he knew what it represented very well.
'To think that eyes of truth could be used like this.'
Lin Xiao was astonished, but his legs didn't stop moving as he rushed over to the bear. Without the shield, he could get close to the bear easily. A sword appeared on Lin Xiao's hand as he struck towards the bear's leg.
Mountain Sword, First Stance!
