第一千六百七十章 瞬息千里

A strange light shimmered brilliantly before it seemed to be a piece of brocade with a hole being torn apart by someone's hands.

The sky darkened within several miles around. Yet, in the gaps where the darkness was torn, an incredible brightness shone through, distorting space as if under the torment of some terrifying force.

Sizzle...

An ear-piercing sound reached his ears as that one-foot-long gap finally widened forcefully.

A colorful glassy rift, a dozen feet long and several feet wide, appeared in his vision.

Lin Xuan was elated. He enveloped himself with a layer of green light, then withdrew his magic flames and treasures with his mental force before shifting to another spot. Ripples flashed around him as he vanished without a trace.

Several dozen feet away, theinfant spirit's expression changed drastically. As an expert from the Profound Void stage, he had lost the initiative due to carelessness, having his physical body destroyed by the opponent.

This grudge must be avenged; how could he bear such humiliation?

After all, if it was because of inferior strength, there would be no excuse. But losing the initiative and thus being under control, failing to unleash even a third of his true divine techniques—such a situation was simply unacceptable!

A look of bitter resentment flashed in theinfant spirit's eyes as he held up an jadeRuyi. He raised it high above his head, and instantly, half-a-foot-long gaseous force surrounded him, making his protective spirit shield appear incredibly dense.

Without hesitation, he flew through the gap.

However, Lin Xuan was already several miles away by then.

But that didn't matter; such a distance would be mere folly for the opponent to escape from.

Theinfant spirit's lips curled in a mocking smile as he blurred and shot towards Lin Xuan like lightning.

Yet, contrary to expectations, Lin Xuan did not dodge. Two hundred years ago, he had already been pursued by the Toxic Dragon Ancestor; if it weren't for the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk and Nine Heaven Micro Steps, he would have perished long ago.

With circumstances changed, Lin Xuan wouldn't let this happen again.

By chance, he had learned the secret technique of Illusory Dashing. Since escaping from the momentary space, the fleeing technique described in the Black Moon Sky Witch Art was not just a mere decoration but now had its practical use.

Once could dash for a thousand miles.

Though still unable to escape the old monster's mental probe, it provided him with some maneuvering room. The opponent would find it difficult to catch up.

With thoughts racing through his mind, Lin Xuan began moving. He raised both hands and drew mysterious and ancient incantations from his lips.

The sounds were incomprehensible, different from any current language, as if coming from an ancient era.

Lin Xuan's body was enveloped in green light that then turned red.

A kaleidoscope of five colors rotated the glassy rift, appearing both ancient and mystical.

Suddenly, the spiritual lights surged dramatically. They seemed to have a life of their own, expanding outward until they covered several square feet, concealing Lin Xuan's figure.

"This trivial trick; you think confusing my ears with such means is too naive," theinfant spirit muttered as he raised his jadeRuyi. But then something unexpected happened.

"Bang!"

A dull explosion sounded in his ears. Before his eyes, a miraculous scene unfolded: several dozen Lin Xuan appeared, each moving differently but eerily similar in appearance and physique, almost indistinguishable from one another.

Theinfant spirit was shocked to the core. He had seen many things, but this secret technique was too incredible; he had never even heard of it before.

This delay caused nearby space to distort and collapse. The dozens of Lin Xuan scattered, disappearing without a trace.

"Hey?"

Theinfant spirit was alarmed. But he wouldn't let his opponent escape so easily. He closed his eyes and released his mental force. As an early-stage Profound Void cultivator, his mental force could cover every blade of grass within five thousand miles with clarity.

Beyond that range, he could still sense things up to ten thousand miles away, but it would not be precise enough for pinpointing the target if the opponent used concealment techniques and could easily escape.

Though Lin Xuan was only at the Separation stage, he knew these common knowledge. From the beginning, he had planned to move continuously.

Illusory Dashing was incredibly ingenious, yet it consumed a tremendous amount of magical energy that was almost unbearable. For an ordinary cultivator, using it once would leave them with minimal spirit energy left. But Lin Xuan wasn't just any cultivator; after two uses, he still had some spirit energy remaining.

This was the benefit of having twininfant spirit and a pill.

A flash of light appeared several thousand miles away as Lin Xuan materialized in mid-air. His face was slightly pale.

But without hesitation, he used Illusory Dashing again.

Amidst strange incantations, Lin Xuan vanished once more.

With a casual wave, a small jade bottle appeared. He uncorked it and swallowed a drop of Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk, replenishing his magical energy before casting the technique again.

In total, he used Illusory Dashing six times. While not completely escaping the opponent's mental probe, with careful movement, the opponent would never find him.

Lin Xuan's face was as pale as paper, but it wasn't due to losing too much spirit energy. The speed of Illusory Dashing allowed him to dash a thousand miles in an instant, putting immense strain on his physical body.

Even for human cultivators, let alone same-stage monsters, performing this technique six times would result in their bodies exploding. Fortunately, Lin Xuan was far from ordinary.

He had practiced the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Art and continuously ingested refined Qilin Fruits over these two hundred years, making his physical body incredibly sturdy. Still, any limit existed, and if he used it again, he couldn't imagine the consequences...

Fortunately, he managed to escape.

Six thousand miles away, still within the opponent's mental probe range, but with careful movement, he wouldn't be detected. Despite feeling extremely uncomfortable, Lin Xuan didn't dare let his guard down. He suppressed his aura and slowly flew forward.

He wasn't slow because of a lack of urgency; this speed prevented him from dissipating too much spirit energy.

Theinfant spirit was completely stunned. He tightly closed his eyes, trying to release his mental force but with no effect—Lin Xuan had vanished without a trace.

"How is it possible? What secret technique could escape five thousand miles in an instant? Even among Profound Void cultivators, there has never been any report of a fleeing technique that can cover such distances," theinfant spirit muttered, his face filled with disbelief.
