第五卷 天云十二州 第一千二百九十九章 诡异的符宝

That fierce lion looked terrifying, but compared to the dragon before him, it was like a small witch seeing a great witch. After all, they were deep in the sea.

But Master Tian Shi's face showed no fear as he bellowed: "Go!" Instantly, a red light flashed, and the lion lunged towards Meng Ruyan.

His figure spun around, transforming into a streak of red light that headed to his left.

Clothes torn apart, his body suddenly swelled. Originally, this lion was about two meters tall, but now it had grown by more than half its original size. His head turned golden yellow, and both hands transformed into clawed shapes.

Jianghua! Cultivators would have similar secret techniques, especially for a pure beast like this old lion.

After his transformation, his aura changed significantly.

Opening his mouth, he spat out a red light wave.

Upon closer inspection, the light contained a square-shaped treasure that collided with Bixingluo's sword.

The two magical treasures chased each other in mid-air. Explosive sounds echoed into their ears as waves of water surged for miles around, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth was shaken apart.

This round seemed evenly matched, but Meng Ruyan had achieved her goal. Master Shi Zeng was in peril, and the old lion at the Condensation Core stage couldn't rescue him in time.

On the other side, as his treasures fell one by one under the green flames, Master Shi Zeng's face showed a look of shock. However, those destroyed magical treasures had given him some breathing room. Otherwise, he would have already lost his head to the green flames.

Shocked and frightened, Master Shi Zeng flipped his left hand over, revealing a talisman the size of a palm.

This talisman was enveloped in a layer of silver light; it wasn't something one could buy at a market stall.

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted slightly as he felt some familiarity. Master Shi Zeng spat out blood, aiming to activate the talisman as quickly as possible.

The blood contained abundant beast power and essence energy. The talisman absorbed this and instantly burst into flames without wind.

A terrifying煞气 spread around.

Spiritual light condensed, revealing a fiery divine sword before his eyes.

"Treasure talisman?" Lin Xuan's knowledge was vast; he had even used similar treasures in the past, so he immediately recognized the item.

A treasure talisman essentially sealed part of a magical treasure's power into a special talisman, but such conditions were extremely strict and could only be created by cultivators above the Condensation Core stage.

Its power didn't need much explanation; just imagining it would make one understand its potency.

After recognizing this treasure, Lin Xuan remained calm. Even if it was an old monster's innate magical treasure controlled by a Condensation Core cultivator, he had full confidence in defending against it. The power of the talisman was only a third that of the original treasure; what was there to be surprised about?

Lin Xuan's thoughts raced as the fiery divine sword transformed from the talisman flew towards him.

Pang... It met the green flames mid-air, and a somewhat muffled sound echoed in their ears. The two swords clashed for one round before flying back separately.

On the surface, it seemed evenly matched, but the light of the green flames dimmed significantly as if something had tainted them.

Ghostly煞气! As the two magical treasures collided mid-air, black lightning flickered on the surface of the fiery divine sword. Could that be ghostly煞气manifested? Lin Xuan's expression grew serious.

Clearly, this treasure talisman wasn't crafted by Master Tian Shi; he had obtained it elsewhere, and its grade was higher than what a Condensation Core cultivator could create.

Ghostly煞气should belong to the Netherworld Realm. Could there be any connection between this talisman and the Luo Family of Yanzhou?

Lin Xuan's thoughts raced, but he didn't have time for deep contemplation. The simplest method was to capture the opponent alive and then use soul-searching techniques... "Young Master, do you want me to help?" Mo'er's voice entered his ears. In recent days, the little girl had been meditating in Tianji Manor, but this fight woke her up.

"No need," Lin Xuan said coolly. With his deep-seated wisdom, he didn't want Mo'er exposed here. Tianji Manor could conceal cultivators' auras completely. After fusing with the Deva Blood, Mo'er had advanced to late-stage Spirit婴and was no less powerful than him in terms of divine techniques and spiritual energy. Lin Xuan intended to use her as a surprise attack on Master Tian Shi.

Otherwise, even if he teamed up with his sister, defeating that old lion would be easy, but killing the opponent would be problematic. After all, those who advanced to Condensation Core were top-tier figures in this world; how could they lack any life-saving skills? Therefore, Mo'er's surprise attack was particularly important, and Lin Xuan wouldn't let her expose herself.

Although he didn't know why the treasure talisman carried ghostly煞气and its power far exceeded his expectations, trying to escape from him would be a dream come true for a fool.

An odd light flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes as an egg-sized flame appeared in his palm.

Green Illusory Fire! This divine technique could suppress ghostly煞气.

Lin Xuan had tested this with Mo'er before; the ghostly煞气this young man possessed was far less than Mo'er's.

Lin Xuan raised his hand, and the flame flew towards the distance, enveloping the green flames. Soon, a faint greenish-blue flame appeared on the surface of the sword.

"Quick!" Lin Xuan pointed with his finger, and the enhanced green flames shot again at the enemy. At the same time, he vanished from his spot in a flash.

His Nine Heaven Microsteps were far more mysterious than instantaneous teleportation; Master Shi Zeng's Shrink Ground technique seemed clumsy and childish by comparison.

While using the treasure talisman to block the green flames, he fully released his divine sense. He didn't want this terrifying enemy to sneak an attack on him.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone. Although all three-stage beast creatures were dead, seven of his transformed cultivator subordinates were still alive and now protected their young master.
