第五卷 天云十二州 第一千二百六十章 林轩也很厉害

"Quickly!" Lin Xuan pointed his finger forward. A faint sound entered his ears, like a chick hatching from an egg. From the greenish-blue flame that was about the size of an egg, a sharp-beaked bird emerged.

Subsequently, Lin Xuan held his hands in the air and cast another trick technique. The little bird circled and danced before transforming into a streak of startling light that shot towards the elderly man with white hair.

The opponent was both shocked and angry. His face lost all color as he did not say a word. He clapped his hands, and an odd-looking treasure flew out from his sleeve. It resembled a sickle used for digging herbs but emitted a silver glow, indicating it had been crafted from extraordinary materials.

Facing a late-stage Great Cultivator, the old man dared not hold back any of his abilities. His hands moved like butterflies as he spat blood from his mouth. The dark red blood turned into a fist-sized cloud of blood mist that quickly engulfed the sickle.

A low rumbling sound entered Lin Xuan's ears. After absorbing the essence of its master, the treasure's power naturally increased significantly. It clashed with the Green Illusory Profound Flame in mid-air.

Although he had guessed that late-stage Great Cultivators were formidable, what followed left the old man speechless. The little bird transformed back into a green flame and burned fiercely, completely enveloping the three-foot-long sickle. In an instant, it turned to ashes.

Impossible! The old man's face was filled with shock; he almost seemed dazed. What kind of inferno is this? Its power was so overwhelming that it was unbelievable.

There was no time for him to ponder further as the flames reformed into a bird and flew towards him. The old man was terrified, his soul nearly leaving his body.

Although his abilities were insignificant compared to Lin Xuan's, he was still an intermediate-stage Great Cultivator—essentially a centuries-old monster—and had some sense of duty when faced with life-and-death choices. Rather than perish, he decided to sacrifice his physical form. He did not expect revenge but only wished to survive.

A green light flashed as a baby about an inch high appeared above the old man's head. His body was then consumed by the blazing flames. The baby's face showed fear; it held a small sword in its arms and instantly teleported several dozen feet away using hand seals. Unfortunately, this effort was futile.

This time, Lin Xuan did not even use Snow Fox King's long spear. Moon had captured the Heavenly Demon Emperor alive, so he could not fall short of her performance. Otherwise, where would his face be? With a flick of his fingers, Lin Xuan displayed Nine Heavens Feather Step. As he practiced the Phoenix Dance Nine Skies technique, this ability became even more mysterious.

The old man saw a figure flash before him as Lin Xuan appeared in front of him. Impossible! Even缩地术 (shrinking earth technique) was not that complex. A sneer formed on Lin Xuan's lips: "Still want to run?"

He then flicked his fingers, and green霞lightning shot out from between them. After circling slightly, it transformed into a strange green hand, which grabbed the old man's essence body.

The opponent naturally did not wish to be captured so easily but had no choice at this moment. Lin Xuan cast a spell, instantly binding the essence body. "You... What do you want to do?"

"Hmph, I gave my friend an opportunity for self-destruction. Since you've missed it, there's no use in regretting now; just wait obediently to be devoured by the Corpse Devouring Demon," Lin Xuan said indifferently.

The old man's face turned ashen as he tried to say something, but Lin Xuan's sharp voice interrupted him: "Still want to run without a word?"

Seeing his two companions subdued, the woman in emerald robes was already terrified. Although she knew her chances of escape were slim, she took out a talisman from her chest and slapped it there. Her entire body was soon enveloped by green light as if using a Wood Diving Talisman.

Lin Xuan's face showed mockery; although this was an upper-grade earth-talism, the idea that anyone could escape his sight was laughable.

He did not even summon any treasures or use Green Illusory Profound Flame. Instead, he waved his sleeves and released dozens of colorful sword qi that grew as they moved through the air. They formed a colorful stream and caught up to the woman in emerald robes before she could react. She was shocked and saw no way to escape, so she reluctantly summoned her treasure sword for resistance, which proved futile.

The sword qi Lin Xuan casually released had power comparable to an early-stage Great Cultivator's strike. After barely resisting for half a cup of tea, the woman was sliced into pieces by chaotic sword attacks. The late-stage Great Cultivator Lin Xuan did not destroy; such remains were a great nourishment for Corpse Devouring Demons.

Three late-stage Great Cultivators faced Lin Xuan and Moon, leaving them with no chance to fight back. They were either killed or captured in this manner.

The entire process was observed by the members of Liexuan Pavilion, who showed nothing but admiration and respect. However, they also wondered why there would be another late-stage Great Cultivator besides the Grand Elder Lin. Although they did not dare to ask casually, the outcome did not require Lin Xuan's attention; others would handle it.

Half an hour later, "Young Master, how do you find this place? Are you satisfied?" Lu Ying'er respectfully asked.

They were still in Juelingshan but about a hundred miles away from Liexuan Pavilion. The anomaly caused by Moon's cultivation had been too grand, turning the valley where their cave was located into ruins. Thus, Lin Xuan needed to find another source of spiritual energy and establish his new residence.

Lin Xuan did not like interruptions, so he chose a location far from the main pavilion but within reach given his strong divine sense. "Not bad."

Lin Xuan scanned the area with satisfaction on his face.

A tall and graceful mountain peak was about six or seven hundred feet high, though very steep. In front of this mountain lay a small lake that covered about seventeen to eighteen acres. The scenery was pleasant, giving one a feeling of peace and serenity.

The quality of the spiritual energy vein was merely average, but it did not matter as Lin Xuan mainly practiced Phoenix Dance Nine Skies and carried a妖眼舍利 (jade eye relic). He also had plenty of medicinal pills to consume; thus, the quality of the vein mattered little.

"This place is good. I will establish my cave here, Ying'er,"

"Yes, but I still have something to return to you," Lu Ying'er respectfully said.

"Return it?" Lin Xuan's face showed confusion.

"Yes." The woman extended her hand and took out two pouches from her waist: "These are the pangolin and Corpse Devouring Demon. Now that they belong back to their rightful owners, it is time to return them."

Ps: Thank you for all your support, especially those who have given so many 60 diamonds for催更 (urgent updates). Huan Yu really wants to do this. First, I want to thank everyone's support; secondly, dual cultivation did indeed cost a lot of crystals, but not today. Yes, tomorrow! I will definitely try my best to reach 10,000. Again, thank you all.
