第一千六百章 一线胜算

"Careless! " the old demon's face showed intense rage. Without any additional movements, the surrounding primordial energy gathered wildly around him, enveloping his entire figure in a yellow light ball.

Then, this indomitable Demon King of Poison Dragons was submerged by the treasure item Lightning Fire, but apart from dense rain-like sounds entering his ears, the old monster remained unharmed.

Next, he flicked his sleeve, and large patches of black lightsunset glowflashed out. These split into hundreds of streams, as if alive, rushing towards the cultivators.

The other cultivators were greatly alarmed, but these lightsunset glow moved too fast for them to avoid. They vanished into their heads from the top of their skulls.

Soon, a layer of black mist appeared on their faces, and their eyes turned wooden in an instant.

"What is this?"

Other unhit cultivators, surprised by this, also felt astonished. However, those with black mists on their faces suddenly attacked them desperately.

The situation became chaotic as many cultivators were decapitated or dismembered by their companions' attacks due to the sudden change.

Others who were more perceptive gathered together, defending against these black mist cultivators.

"Could it be possession?"

Red Leaf Fairy flicked her finger, deflecting a flying sword aimed at her, but her jade-like face turned icy cold.

The other cultivators had similar thoughts, but soon shook their heads in disagreement.

This theory was too absurd; possession, as its name suggests, is one-on-one. Even an old demon of the Profound Void stage would not be able to possess hundreds of cultivators simultaneously.

What the opponent used should be some puppetry secret technique that could temporarily control low-grade cultivators' spirit consciousness, but it wasn't worth thinking about now.

Various dazzling lights clashed in the sky as the Demon King of Poison Dragons merely raised his hand and had thousands of cultivators turn on each other.

On the other side, Lin Xuan and Ten Thousand Beasts were not faring well either. The opponent's strength was far beyond their expectations.

Originally thinking that the demon's possession technique had flaws, but with every move the old monster made, he displayed various great divine techniques and secret arts without any hesitation.

Could it be that his initial guess was wrong?

But Lin Xuan felt something wasn't right. If the old monster truly showed such strength now, there would have been no need to play mind games at the beginning.

He must have a weakness, but Lin Xuan couldn’t find it.

With thoughts racing in his mind, Lin Xuan sought an opportunity to escape.

He had no intention of directly confronting a great cultivator. His chances were slim.

"Brother Wan, if we continue like this, sooner or later, both of us will be defeated one by one. Instead of waiting for death, let's fight together." Lin Xuan whispered silently.

"Hmph, do you have any plan?" The cold voice of Ten Thousand Beasts entered his ears. Although they were on the same side now, Ten Thousand Beasts naturally had no good feelings towards Lin Xuan.

His tone was extremely cold, but Lin Xuan didn't care about such trivial matters. A clear voice entered his ears: "Brother Wan, you distract the old monster with the two-headed creature, and try to hold him back for a few breaths. Then I'll rush forward and hit him with a divine treasure. Even though he's a demon of the Profound Void stage, he is just an incarnate body, so he can't ignore divine treasures. We can then attack together; this is our only chance."

"By holding back the old monster, wouldn't his avatar be in grave danger?" Ten Thousand Beasts' cold voice entered Lin Xuan's ears, clearly unwilling.

"What do you mean by that? What I need to do has no risk at all. If one doesn't enter a tiger's den, how can one get a tiger's cub? You won't even sacrifice this avatar, and if the old monster defeats us one by one, your soul might be refined away."

"Alright!"

Although Ten Thousand Beasts was reluctant, he understood that what Lin Xuan said was right. If not for him, who would dare to risk their own avatar?

Finally, he reluctantly agreed.

Lin Xuan was delighted: "Then let's follow the plan."

With a loud roar, Ten Thousand Beasts cast his hand seals. The two-headed creature grew another head and its cultivation level skyrocketed from Separation stage Initial to Intermediate in an instant.

However, it looked in pain, with black blood seeping out of its body surface, clearly using some demon technique to boost its cultivation level drastically but at the cost of its physical body. Without the old monster's intervention, this demon avatar would self-destruct soon.

"Bang!"

Ten Thousand Beasts pointed his finger, and the creature curled up, rushing towards the Poison Dragon with a bloodthirsty roar. It opened its mouth wide, spewing white frosty mist from one mouth and black-red demonic flames from another.

The sound was deafening as it charged at the old monster.

"Die!"

The Demon King of Poison Dragons showed surprise on his face as he stretched out a dry hand. An unbelievable scene followed: cracking sounds filled Lin Xuan's ears, and his thick, rod-like right hand glowed yellow, transforming into a dragon's sharp claws.

Ten feet long, covered in black scales, with razor-sharp nails, it looked like an unstoppable force.

Demonification!

More accurately, this old monster revealed its true form. Despite appearing weak now, his original body was a venomous water dragon over a hundred feet long.

The old monster grinned, revealing yellow teeth that smelled of rot. The transformed dragon's claws suddenly stretched out and fiercely grabbed the two-headed creature.

Neither the white frosty mist nor the black-red demonic flames had any effect. Even though it was just an incarnate body, his demonification greatly enhanced its defense.

Moreover, its speed was unbelievable. The creature felt the air tighten as a mysterious invisible force immobilized him.

The creature struggled desperately but too late. The dragon's claws arrived before his face, and three thick dragon toes clamped down on his neck, pinning it tightly.

Three-clawed golden dragon, this was merely a Profound Void stage venomous water dragon in front of them, but those three toes were incredibly powerful. Sharp nails pierced the creature’s neck, causing black blood to gush out in large quantities.

Ten Thousand Beasts' face showed a touch of pity, but then his expression turned fierce. The snake-like body of the two-headed creature no longer struggled; instead, it curled up and surrounded the old Demon King of Poison Dragons.

The obvious goal was to buy time.

"Now, Lin Daoist, attack!" Seeing that he finally temporarily held off the old monster, Ten Thousand Beasts shouted loudly. This was a chance won by sacrificing his avatar, and it couldn't be missed.
