第一千四百六十七章 巧计诱敌

The crackling sound of Huang Chi's Sky-Breaking Palm entered Lin Xuan’s ears, followed by countless claw rays that appeared densely and innumerable.

Intersecting each other, they formed a sharp net, bravely confronting the Green Flame and sword rays.

As for the nine-headed snake, Zao Hang didn’t even pay it any attention.

It was just a pillow stuffed with grass.

After all, whatever was formed from mere Primordial Earth Qi, no matter how powerful, could not amount to much in terms of real strength. Aaah! With a loud roar, it opened its blood-filled maw; the rest of its body remained unchanged, but its head had grown three times larger than before.

This looked extremely unbalanced, yet it appeared more ferocious. A light wave shot out from its mouth and swept forward.

The diameter was over ten feet, filled with boundless viciousness.

There was no suspense left.

The nine-headed snake was shattered into pieces.

Zao Hang’s face showed a smug expression; such flashy techniques were fine for dealing with an Essence Body, but in front of him, they could only be called foolish.

However, before Zao Hang could finish his thought, his expression froze. In the distance ahead, ripples appeared in the air.

A plain-looking young man suddenly appeared before him.

He was no more than a few dozen feet away.

Lin Xuan!

Whether it was the Green Flame just now or the monster formed from Primordial Earth Qi, they were all merely to lure the enemy.

Taking advantage of the opponent’s defense against his attacks, Lin Xuan had already rushed forward.

Nine Heaven Microsteps were still quite wondrous; after advancing to the Separation stage, they weren’t inferior to Instant Teleportation and even seemed slightly better.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, and the cracking sound of bones filled his ears as multicolored light flickered. His right hand vanished, replaced by a sharp claw.

Jade Transformation!

After advancing to the Separation stage, Lin Xuan’s Phoenix Dance Nine Heavensdecision-making formula or诀窍 (trick/trade secret) had reached its fifth level, allowing him to transform part of his body into a demon. At this moment, his right hand turned into a phoenix's fierce talon.

The blade was glaringly sharp and fiercely grabbed at the opponent’s head. Zao Hang’s face showed a look of surprise.

A cultivator?

When Lin Xuan was in the Yin Mountains, they had once fought each other; clearly, he was practicing orthodox Daoist techniques. How could his main cultivation method suddenly change after just over a hundred years?

Knowing that such cases were rare in the cultivation world but not unheard of, Zao Hang didn’t think too much about it. A sneer appeared on his ugly face.

What’s so special about demon powers? Trying to engage him in close combat—this kid must have hit his head.

However, Zao Hang wasn’t thinking too much. A mocking expression appeared on his ugly face.

Demon powers, how impressive! But he actually wanted to engage in close combat with me. This kid is clearly out of his mind.

But Zao Hang didn't think too much about it. A mocking expression appeared on his ugly face.

One beautiful flame suddenly appeared in Lin Xuan’s palm.

Three colors kept swirling, enveloping the demonized claw. Zao Hang’s pupils constricted; he had never seen Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire before.

But inexplicably, a sense of danger arose from within him.

The fire was strange and beautiful, but Zao Hang could smell danger.

However, it was too late to change his tactics now.

Damn!

Just moments ago, he laughed at the kid’s recklessness. He never expected that he himself had been careless and fell for his trap.

This damn kid is clever in a foolish way; on the surface, he seems to be making a stupid move, but in reality, he is leading me into a trap step by step. Zao Hang was both shocked and angry as he saw no way to avoid it.

With a deafening roar, Zao Hang also extended one of his claws. The nail alone was several feet long, emitting deep black light.

Its sharpness didn’t fall short of the Green Flame.

Their sizes were incomparable; Lin Xuan looked like an incredibly clumsy cicada trying to shake off a towering tree.

The result would be no different from a rock hitting a stone.

However, all this was just an illusion.

Lin Xuan wasn’t Princess Xin Yue; his path in cultivation had been fraught with countless trials and tribulations, only to reach this point after much effort.

He had experienced bloodshed and gore countless times.

Knowing that the opponent was one of the Four Evils of Spirit Realm, Lin Xuan still engaged him head-on with demon powers—was he foolish?

Of course not; he did it for a reason.

Silent and unseen!

A beautiful flame suddenly appeared in Lin Xuan’s palm.

Three colors kept swirling, enveloping the demonized claw. Zao Hang’s pupils constricted; of course, he had never seen Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire before.

But inexplicably, a sense of danger arose from within him.

The fire was strange and beautiful, but Zao Hang could smell danger.

However, it was too late to change his tactics now.

Damn!

Just moments ago, he laughed at the kid’s recklessness. He never expected that he himself had been careless and fell for his trap.

This damn kid is clever in a foolish way; on the surface, he seems to be making a stupid move, but in reality, he is leading me into a trap step by step. Zao Hang was both shocked and angry as he saw no way to avoid it.

With a deafening roar, Zao Hang’s claws also emitted a black ray.

It wasn’t fire; it was some other secret technique. Since Zao Hang used this at such a critical moment, its power must be formidable.

Then, one person and one beast collided like two charging bulls.

Boom!

A loud explosion sounded as the space around their claw contact point twisted slightly. Gale-force winds swept past, far more powerful than when they clashed with Princess Xin Yue.

Over several miles, the ground was already scarred by blood and gore; now, it was further ravaged by the aftereffects of the blast. The entire area began to sink, revealing a bottomless pit.

But what Lin Xuan cared about wasn’t this. His confrontation with Zao Hang finally had its outcome.

Lin Xuan relied on Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire.

In the ancient ruins of Gansu Province, it had even withstood Thunderbolts before; its power was beyond doubt.

Facing Zao Hang’s true form, it might not be much, but for a Separation Stage fragment soul, Lin Xuan felt confident.

His estimation was correct.

Sizzle!

Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire immediately gained the upper hand when it touched Zao Hang’s black light. After flickering briefly, it transformed into dozens of thick snakes that fiercely attacked and tore apart the black light, swallowing it whole.

"What kind of demonic flames are these? They’re so powerful," Zao Hang was stunned. According to logic, in a high-ranking existence like his from Spirit Realm, human realm techniques should be insignificant. But what he saw now completely overturned this notion.

The black light didn’t last even an instant before being completely devoured by Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire. The fire wasn’t satisfied and moved onto Zao Hang’s claws.

Blue light flashed; a layer of fine ice crystals appeared on the surface of his claws, with chilling cold spreading up his meridians.

Accompanying this was intense poison.

The ice sculpture turned black instantly.

This is the ultimate poison in the world!

Aaah! Zao Hang howled in pain as fear filled his eyes.

But he didn’t have time to think anymore.

Ice freezing and absolute toxicity weren’t Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire’s most terrifying aspects.

At the core, that unremarkable, grayish dead silence was a killer of the three attributes.

It contained the extreme coldness and corrosiveness of Yin energy.

Anything touched by it would slowly lose vitality.

Visibly, the ice layer began to crumble, while Zao Hang’s claws seemed to be eroded like stone turning into sand, breaking down into fragments...
