The female supporting character in the cultivation world only wants to grow flowers and become stron

No sleep for one night.

The next day, as dawn broke, the urgent tolling of bells echoed through the valley, waking the monks who were meditating and resting.

Everyone knows that the beast tide is coming soon, and every time the bell rings, a new wave of beasts will arrive.

The disciples rushed around in a panic, but despite the chaos, the sect's assignments made things seem orderly.

Conventionally, daytime is the best time to fight off beast tides. At night, the demonic beasts' vision and combat power increase significantly, while human cultivators have relatively weaker eyesight in the dark. Even with divine sense, they are easily at a disadvantage when encountering demonic beasts that can conceal their presence. Moreover, many forest demonic beasts prefer to hunt at night, and their keen sense of smell and hearing are even more potent in the darkness.

Lin Yitang was lucky; this time, the beast tide was encountered in broad daylight.

Third and fourth-tier demonic beasts possess a certain level of intelligence; they understand how to assess the situation and will choose to attack the weakest point in their defenses. Therefore, the sect's higher-ups dispersed Foundation Establishment cultivators to various locations to ensure the integrity of the defensive line.

Therefore, the six people were not assigned to the same beast tide.

Lin Yitang was assigned to a weakly defended location.

When she arrived at the designated location, she was met with chaos. Foundation Establishment cultivators were locked in fierce combat with hordes of demonic beasts, the battle fierce and evenly matched.

Swords clashed, spiritual energy surged, and beast roars echoed.

A cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage saw Lin Yitang arrive and quickly waved for her to come and help.

He was panting heavily as he pointed to the battle not far away and said, "Go and help those three junior brothers over there. They're being entangled by a third-tier demonic beast, and the situation is not good."

Lin Yitang looked in the direction he was pointing and saw three early Foundation Establishment cultivators desperately attacking a massive demonic beast. It was a third-tier armored rhinoceros, its body covered in scales as hard as iron, and its single horn was incredibly sharp, like a heavy hammer.

The three cultivators' attacks landed on the armored rhinoceros, producing dull thuds, but only leaving shallow marks on its scales. The armored rhinoceros forcefully repelled the cultivators' attacks while simultaneously launching its own attack with its single horn.

It is evident that the monster's physical body is indeed extremely tough, and its attack power is difficult to withstand.

Seeing this, Lin Yitang dared not delay and quickly joined the battle.

This is a peak third-tier demon beast. Because there are not enough people at the current base, and no extra mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators are available, they can only send early-Foundation Establishment cultivators, hoping that the number of early-Foundation Establishment cultivators can make up for the difference in strength.

The three early Foundation Establishment cultivators, facing this colossal beast, used almost every trick in the book, employing swords, spells, and talismans in turn. However, no matter how they attacked, the armored rhinoceros's tough, iron-like hide remained unmoved, completely blocked by its armor, preventing them from striking its flesh.

Even more terrifying was that the rhinoceros's incredibly sharp horns could cause powerful shocks with each impact, making the cultivators' blood surge and causing them to vomit blood.

A cultivator was accidentally gored by a rhinoceros horn, and he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust. Before he could even get up, the armored rhinoceros had already turned around and charged at the fallen cultivator with its horns.

At the critical moment, Lin Yitang appeared just in time. With a shout, she threw out a golden sword burning with crimson flames, which went straight for the rhinoceros.

Wherever the golden sword passed, the air seemed to ignite, hissing and crackling. The armored rhinoceros's skin, which had remained impenetrable even under the combined attack of three early Foundation Establishment cultivators, was now as fragile as paper before the Fire-Refined Golden Sword, easily pierced with a huge hole.

The golden sword cut through the rhinoceros's flesh with unstoppable force, and blood gushed out instantly.

The armored rhinoceros let out a shrill scream, its eyes bloodshot as it stared intently at Lin Yitang.

It struggled to its feet, only to find itself engulfed in flames, writhing in excruciating pain. Especially where the golden sword had pierced it, the flames spread relentlessly along the wound, scorching the rhinoceros's armor until it glowed a blazing red.

Just when everyone thought the monster had been dealt with, they discovered that the rhinoceros had actually managed to stand up, albeit stumbling.

Lin Yitang was secretly amazed. As expected of the Ironclad Rhinoceros, which was known for its defensive capabilities, it had not suffered fatal damage after being hit by her Fire Refining Gold Sword.

The rhinoceros used its last strength to charge at Lin Yitang, its sharp horns covered with a layer of powerful demonic energy.

"careful!"

The other two cultivators were shocked and quickly spoke up to warn them.

However, Lin Yitang remained calm and continued to chant incantations, and a fire phoenix materialized out of thin air, its wingspan reaching several feet.

The fire phoenix let out a loud cry, flapped its wings and soared into the sky, swooping down on the armored rhinoceros.

In an instant, the two collided in mid-air, unleashing a massive shockwave of spiritual energy.

The fiery phoenix, like a persistent carbuncle, clung to the rhinoceros's body and burned fiercely. At the same time, it poured into the rhinoceros's body along the wound pierced by the golden sword, wantonly destroying the rhinoceros's internal organs.

The armored rhinoceros let out a series of mournful howls, its struggles growing weaker and weaker. Finally, with a desperate roar, it collapsed to the ground, never to rise again.

The three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators stared in disbelief at this scene, their shock beyond words.

They had tried countless methods but could not break through the armored rhinoceros's defenses, while Lin Yitang did it with ease, as if it hadn't taken much effort.

At this moment, they gained a profound understanding of the strength of the cultivator who had come to provide support.

Even the other cultivators who were fighting the demonic beasts were startled by the powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy here, and subconsciously turned their heads to glance at Lin Yitang.

However, Lin Yitang did not stop.

The phoenix still had energy left after burning the rhinoceros. Once the corpse was charred black, the phoenix's illusory form reformed.

This time, it did not pounce on the fallen armored rhinoceros, but instead turned around and flew towards the group of monsters not far away.

The beast tides in the central area are usually led by third or fourth-tier demonic beasts, who then attack a large group of first or second-tier demonic beasts. Therefore, behind that third-tier rhinoceros, a large group of first and second-tier demonic beasts were being annihilated wave after wave by other early Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Although first and second-tier demonic beasts can be easily killed, their sheer number puts considerable pressure on cultivators.

When Lin Yitang's Fire Phoenix descended, the battle situation changed.

In an instant, large swathes of demonic beasts were engulfed in flames, letting out mournful screams.

Wherever the fire phoenix passed, waves of heat rolled in. The first and second-tier demonic beasts were unable to resist the terrifying heat and collapsed to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, only a patch of scorched earth remained within a radius of several feet, and not a single living creature could be seen.

The cultivators stared in disbelief at the scene, their shock beyond measure. They had never seen a cultivator at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage wield such powerful magic, nor had they ever witnessed such terrifying flames.
