第五卷 天云十二州 第一千零五十七章 魔火与石傀儡

"Lin brother, come back quickly."

Zhū Wúyún's expression turned grim. After their recent exchange of blows, he knew the giant monster was terrifying. Even if this person’s secret technique could match an advanced-stage cultivator with a yuanqi body, such reckless advancement was too dangerous.

Of course, his urgency wasn't due to any deep bond with Lin Xuan; it was simply that they were now fighting together and didn’t want anyone to go in unprepared and die needlessly.

The Qīng family's two top experts also sighed. This Lin friend had formidable abilities, but his combat experience was too shallow. The wisest approach against such a massive creature should be to hide from afar and engage in distant attacks; getting too close would increase the pressure significantly.

Among everyone present, only Qín Yán held an unusual view. She knew Lin Xuan much better than anyone else. Her younger brother was cunning and shrewd, always seeking advantage without taking risks. If he had no confidence, how could he charge forward so recklessly?

Watching that streak of lightning, Qín Yán hardly hesitated. Her body glowed with a flash of spirit light as she used the Nine Heavens Microstep to catch up from behind.

Although Lin Xuan was in danger, his powerful spiritual awareness allowed him to sense every movement around him. Seeing Qín Yán follow, Lin Xuan felt a warmth in his heart.

However, there wasn't time for such emotions at this moment. With a loud shout, he activated the spell within his body, and his speed suddenly increased.

In an instant, he arrived before the giant monster's tongue.

The black stone was vastly different from the rest of its body. Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted, while the monster’s face showed extreme joy.

The Qīng family loathed Lin Xuan to the core; a mere mid-stage yuanqi cultivator had destroyed his hand. They wouldn’t be satisfied until he was ground into powder.

"Keh keh, boy, no need for futile resistance. Do you think my tongue can be harmed by just another mid-stage yuanqi cultivator?"

The giant monster attacked while laughing wildly, something that impressed Lin Xuan. However, it boasted about the hardness of its tongue…

Indeed, even the green fire couldn’t penetrate it. Among his treasures, only the broken sword might cut through.

No matter how fierce this creature was, it wouldn’t dare to directly confront a divine treasure.

Unfortunately, such grade treasures weren’t easily usable; they required special ritual techniques and the Grand Treasure Art to activate.

Lin Xuan’s seclusion period had been too short for him to learn these. However, his knowledge was extensive beyond just magical artifacts. He also possessed hidden secret techniques.

This fire technique was formidable, but its cultivation was perilous, with few practitioners. Facing seven or eight tentacles, Lin Xuan remained unperturbed as he spun in place. Several green flames shot out from his sleeves and hit the tentacles accurately.

Puff

A soft sound echoed as the tentacles, unharmed by even magical artifacts, were enveloped in a layer of green fire. Although they didn’t turn to ashes, numerous cracks appeared on their surface.

Lin Xuan raised his hand, several sword qi flickering. In an instant, those tentacles turned into fragments and fell like shattered stones.

Without delay, Lin Xuan’s body flashed with blue light as he used the Nine Heavens Microstep to instantly arrive at the giant tongue.

His hands moved nonstop, completing countless gestures in a moment. With a puff of his cheeks, a thick green flame shot out, turning into a firebird a foot long mid-air.

Though this technique’s power was admirable, its cultivation was arduous, with few practitioners. Facing these creatures now,

"Go!"

Lin Xuan pointed at the green firebird, which spread its wings and turned into a green streak, diving towards the monster's tongue.

The terrifying demonic flames spread outward. Just as before, creaking sounds filled the air as the green fire sword cut through the cracked rocks.

Successfully escaping, the giant monster retreated a step, his face full of pain. Unlike his hand, which could be restored with magic, this mysterious black stone was his core and couldn’t regenerate once damaged.

Initially, it had been the hardest material; even ordinary magical artifacts couldn’t harm it. But he hadn’t expected the flames to be so domineering.

Fortunately, he had retracted early enough, but a third of his tongue was now gone. The giant monster trembled in pain and hated the young man who had injured him to such an extent.

Roar!

With a loud shout, countless massive stones split from the monster’s body, each weighing tens or even hundreds of thousands of catties. A white mist emerged from its mouth, enveloping these stones.

Crackles filled the air as those stones transformed into various rock beasts, some large and others small, all emitting intense ferocity and rushing towards Lin Xuan.

What are these? Lin Xuan’s brows rose. Although he didn’t recognize them, they resembled mechanical puppets. He wondered about their power before Qín Yán acted faster. Seeing the young woman form hand gestures, Nine Heavens Ice Fire Silk appeared in a myriad of forms and rushed to the front.

Red light flashed as two strange beasts were split into halves. The silk unfolded like a sharp blade, not inferior to flying knives or swords.

Qín Yán’s slender fingers pointed at another stone creature, which the treasure coiled around, breaking it into fragments with its strength.

Balancing attack and defense, Qín Yán’s techniques were already formidable; paired with the Nine Heavens Ice Fire Silk, a top-grade magical artifact, most stone creatures couldn’t withstand her three strikes.

However, more stone creatures emerged from the white mist.

Lin Xuan’s brows rose as he reached out to encircle the young woman's waist. Qín Yán stiffened slightly but soon relaxed again; they had already teleported away from their original spot.

This situation clearly wasn't favorable for prolonged engagement. Lin Xuan moved several times and arrived at the mountain’s midsection.

"Junior brother, what are you doing?" Qín Yán’s eyes showed surprise.
