第五卷 天云十二州 第一千二百九十七章 狮王一怒

With Lin Xuan and Fairy Ruyan's speed, a mere thousand miles was nothing.

Soon enough, the elegant and luxurious carriage came into view.

Apart from the Lion King and his son, there were several hundred妖族. Among them, there were as many as seven or eight at the Transformed Form stage. However, their faces now displayed a wary expression, presenting themselves as if they were facing an enemy.

Their presence had already been revealed; concealing themselves further would be superfluous. The two streaks of light condensed, and the siblings revealed their true forms.

"Ms Fairy, what is your intention?"

Tian Shi Shangren narrowed his eyes, speaking in a tone so calm that it was almost unsettling. However, his entire body was surging with powerful妖力.

"Do you really not know why I came here? Asking such a question when the answer is obvious serves no purpose," Fairy Ruyan said as she opened her lips slightly, her delicate face showing a hint of indifference.

"Oh, so you think I'm wrong. Do you want to kill me?"

"Correct!"

"A bold statement, but it's somewhat overestimating yourself, Ruyan. I advise you to consider carefully whether you truly wish to become mortal enemies with Lion Heart Valley," Tian Shi Shangren's cold voice echoed in their ears, clearly showing that this old monster was suppressing his anger.

"Do you think we can still turn enemies into allies?" A clear voice entered Lin Xuan’s ear as he crossed his arms behind his back and spoke calmly.

"Young man, don’t think that just because of a heavenly treasure, I cannot kill you. If you are wise, quickly apologize to me; otherwise, there will come a day when this old king will make your life unbearable," Tian Shi Shangren’s gaze swept over Lin Xuan, his eyes filled with deep resentment.

"Apologize? Do you think that such a retreat strategy can turn danger into safety?" With his vast experience, Lin Xuan was no less astute than the thousand-year-old Separation Realm old monster. He could see through the purpose of this move and sneered slightly.

Then he spoke telepathically to Fairy Ruyan: "Sister, you hold back that old monster while I deal with the other妖族. After we are done, we will join forces."

"Hmm."

Fairy Ruyan nodded. In terms of strength, she was on par with Tian Shi Shangren, but they were deep in the sea where water essence energy was abundant, giving her a slight advantage.

However, defeating him would not be easy even with that advantage.

Moreover, as fellow Separation Realm existences, if one could win, the other would surely try to escape. Of course, this was assuming a one-on-one situation. But she and her brother had planned from the start to take out his wings before teaming up against this old monster.

In short, they intended to first cut off his support and then deal with this Separation Realm old monster together.

Seeing Lin Xuan’s lips move, though he didn’t know what they were saying, Tian Shi Shangren knew that things would not end well. He clapped his hands, releasing a terrifying aura into the sky as he roared: "Attack!"

Before the words left his mouth, he turned and released formidable妖气 from his body, forming a golden cloud covering dozens of acres.

Roar!

The roar of a mighty beast echoed for miles, as if thousands of lions were roaring in unison.

The sound waves were visible to the naked eye, crashing towards the siblings.

Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted. He had seen the音波功 of Heart Refinement Method before, but compared to Tian Shi Shangren, it was like a mere ant seeing an elephant; they were not on the same level.

Wherever the sound waves went, the sea surface split open with explosive sounds. Fish and marine creatures within dozens of miles all exploded into bloody mist.

This was what Separation Realm cultivators could do—simply by moving their hands, they could crush countless lives to dust.

However, Lin Xuan and Fairy Ruyan were not weaklings; they were on the same level.

Despite the terrifying sound waves, Fairy Ruyan’s face showed a mocking expression. Without any additional movements, she flicked her jade hand, and the hundred-meter-high wave caused by the sound was calmed down.

Then this beautiful woman seemed to become a vortex with magnetic force, drawing all the water essence energy towards her.

A thick protective shield appeared before their eyes, enveloping Lin Xuan and Fairy Ruyan. Then the sound waves crashed into it.

Boom!

The deafening impact echoed in their ears. This was the first hard clash between two Separation Realm experts, a spectacle that left one speechless just from the lingering energy of the collision.

The sea seemed to have been shattered.

It was an odd feeling; the sea was made of water, how could it shatter? But for a moment, the sea surface within dozens of miles truly fragmented like porcelain, breaking into pieces.

After several breaths, it reformed.

Just one strike had such power that Lin Xuan couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.

His sister and this old lion’s strength clearly surpassed that of the Thousand Buddha Sect’s Hui Tong bald monk.

This battle could not be taken lightly.

Of course, Lin Xuan was not afraid either. Now that Tian Shi Shangren had handed over to his sister, he would first cut off his wings.

With that in mind, a green glow enveloped Lin Xuan as he lunged at several妖族 at the Transformed Form stage beside him. Tian Shi Shangren’s expression changed, but Fairy Ruyan stood in front of him: "Without this fairy here, you cannot cross the boundary."

"Filthy wench, you are asking for death."

Tian Shi Shangren was both shocked and angry. In the Five-colored Spiritual Mountain, he had also suffered at Lin Xuan’s hands to some extent. This boy not only far surpassed his peers in strength but also wielded a heavenly treasure that defied nature. His son, though a genius, was clearly several levels below him.

But despite his anger, as a fifth-stage妖族, Tian Shi Shangren maintained his composure. The first female cultivator of Yunzhou was no trivial matter; with her blocking the way, intercepting Lin Xuan would be nothing but a dream for him.

Fortunately, Zeng’er had some chance to survive even if he couldn’t defeat Lin Xuan. After all, he wasn’t alone; there were seven妖族 at the Transformed Form stage and hundreds of妖兽 at the Condensation Core stage beside him.

With this thought, his expression softened. Although a heavenly treasure was a powerful item, an early-stage元婴 cultivator like himself wouldn’t dare use it recklessly. Such grade treasures would consume immense amounts of mana.

First, deal with Fairy Ruyan.

Deciding on this, the golden cloud surged. Naturally, Fairy Ruyan didn’t sit idly by; she flicked her jade hand and a green shadow shot out from her sleeve.

Although Separation Realm cultivators could manipulate heavenly essence energy,法宝 were still of utmost importance to them.

This green shadow, Snowfall Sword, had been cultivated in his丹田 for over 1300 years and was already at heart-to-heart communication with Fairy Ruyan. It floated before this woman as if it had a mind of its own.

In the cloud, Tian Shi Shangren’s pupils constricted. With Fairy Ruyan’s first move being her most cherished treasure, did she really intend to fight until death?

PS: Today, I’m still sick and feeling terrible. This is just one day off for Raindrop, raindrops, please forgive me. Now that I think about it, health truly is a blessing; it makes so much sense.
