第一千五百八十一章 祸水东引之万兽岛

If this continued, it wouldn't end well.

Could it be that after all the effort to escape, he would have to fight these silver fish birds to the death?

Lin Xuan was unwilling to give up!

He took a deep breath and increased his speed slightly. The whistling sound of breaking the air grew louder in his ears as the streak of light sped up, turning into a faint green dot that vanished from sight within mere moments.

Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Xuan didn't want to engage directly. His mind raced as he pondered how to escape.

In just a few hours, he had flown over a million miles while chasing and being chased by this demonic bird. With no map of the East Sea, he was unsure where he was or how to resolve his current predicament.

Lin Xuan's intelligence was obvious, but it wasn't enough to come up with an effective escape plan in such a short time.

Just as he was feeling depressed, Lin Xuan suddenly noticed something and changed direction slightly. He shot off towards that spot at incredible speed.

With his astonishing speed, he flew several dozen miles within moments. The sound of explosions reached his ears.

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes to see three figures—two men and a woman—engaged in fierce combat, each using their spiritual artifacts. They stopped abruptly when they noticed him, retreating as the artifacts floated back towards them.

Three pairs of eyes turned toward Lin Xuan.

Recognizing his human face, the two men were overjoyed. One of them, Lu He from the Ten Thousand Beast Island, called out: "Senior, if you can capture this demon woman, our island will be grateful and reward you handsomely."

"Ten Thousand Beast Island?"

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he wore a strange expression.

The woman, upon hearing their words, paled momentarily but quickly recovered. She recognized Lin Xuan's face with surprise and joy: "Senior, is it you?"

The two men were taken aback. The three tribes of the East Sea maintained peace, but conflicts still occurred. Initially relieved to see a fellow human, they grew uneasy when they realized this stranger knew the demon woman.

They exchanged nervous glances as their minds raced. They released their divine senses and scanned Lin Xuan's aura, which was deep like an ocean, hard to fathom.

Could he be at the late condensation stage or even an ancient婴? The two men exchanged a look of shock. If not for Lin Xuan conserving his power by suppressing his spiritual pressure, it would have been worse.

"Senior, don't get angry. We were ordered to capture this woman and had no intention of fighting you. Since we know each other, I'll give you face and let her go," said the tall man with a round face, who was smooth-talking. He spoke humbly as if he were begging.

It would be unwise to fight a stranger at his level. "Give me face? Originally, as fellow humans, it wouldn't have been impossible to spare you. But since you're under that old monster's command, blame your bad luck. I'll take both of your lives," Lin Xuan said with sarcasm.

Before he could finish, their faces turned pale. Without waiting for his words, the tall man pulled out a golden yellow talisman from his waist and stuck it to his chest.

"Earth遁符? You little brat, have you gone mad? Using earth magic in this vast sea is absurd. It's no wonder you managed to enter the condensation stage."

Lin Xuan's sarcasm made the tall man's face even whiter as he realized his mistake. But it was too late to change tactics. He slapped the talisman and transformed into a golden streak, flying towards the horizon.

The shorter man had a similar reaction, using dark magic to dive into the deep sea.

Their quick response was commendable, but their gap with Lin Xuan was too large. If two condensation stage cultivators could escape under his nose, he would rather cut off his own head and apologize to the world than continue living.

Without any extra movements, a palm appeared in front of him as he pointed at it. A burst of light revealed an enormous hand that swiftly knocked both small cultivators away like flies.

One died instantly while the other fainted.

Even though they hadn't died, their situation was far from good. They were still useful to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan extended his hand and gently probed in front of him. The smooth-talking tall man was sucked into his palm.

"Could the Ten Thousand Beast Island be near? That old monster's den?"

As he spoke, Lin Xuan used his five fingers to press on the man's head, performing a soul-searching technique...

In just a few moments, Lin Xuan's hand burst into flames, reducing him to ashes.

The entire process was swift. The demon woman witnessed it all and her face turned pale.

She had never seen such cruelty in the cultivation world before. Lin Xuan's ruthless actions made her feel like she was dreaming.

Life is so fragile.

"Senior!"

Seeing Lin Xuan turn around, the demon woman stammered. Although he had killed her enemies, she was still nervous.

Before she could finish, a noise interrupted them.

Silver light appeared on the horizon as more silver fish birds approached.

"These damned spirits won't give up. I wasted some time and they caught up," Lin Xuan's face darkened slightly but remained calm.

To escape these monsters, he had to lure them elsewhere by chance. He ended up near the Ten Thousand Beast Island while lost at sea. There was no need for courtesy.

"Silver fish birds!"

In a blink, the leading bird was only a thousand feet away. Even condensation stage cultivators could see their terrifying faces clearly.

The girl screamed in horror, her fair face pale as she realized they might be eaten by these demonic birds.

As an original cultivator from the cultivation world, she understood better than Lin Xuan how dangerous these creatures were.

Was she going to die?

Even if it was an ancient婴, it would be impossible to escape such a horde.

She should have stayed in the underwater fairy city instead of leaving alone.

But there was no regret pill in this world. Even true immortals couldn't change what had happened.

Her mind blanked as she was terrified.

Suddenly, her waist tightened as someone grabbed her and she disappeared from sight.

Reappearing several thousand feet away, she reappeared again, only to vanish once more.

This was teleportation, but even more advanced.

Although the girl's condensation stage cultivation level made it hard for her to see through Lin Xuan's true power, her keen eyesight far surpassed that of other cultivators at the same level.

The girl opened her lips, but she couldn't speak due to her low cultivation. Fortunately, Lin Xuan wasn't using Nine Heavens Microstep and increased his speed slightly, turning into normal light as he flew towards them.

His speed was astonishing, almost matching a legendary meteor.

"Senior, are you at the separation stage?" The demon woman's voice sounded weak but calm now that she had escaped. She didn't need to fear Lin Xuan harming her since he saved her earlier.

"Your eyesight is quite good," Lin Xuan wore a surprised expression. It was impossible for condensation stage cultivators to discern his true power, but this girl was different.

"You overestimate me. But where do you want to go? The silver fish birds have special abilities; even if you're an ancient婴, it won't be easy to escape," the girl cautiously spoke, showing no anger but subtly reminding him of her situation.

Lin Xuan's face showed some surprise. It was true that condensation stage cultivators couldn't easily discern his power. This girl had a unique perspective.
