第一千六百九十五章 林轩的危机(第二更)

"What?"

The voice of the Poison Dragon Ancestor was not loud, but each word and phrase struck like a thunderclap in Lin Xuan's ears. Even though his temperament was extremely steady, his expression could not help but change wildly at this moment.

"Are you serious?"

"Judge for yourself," the Poison Dragon Ancestor's arrogant voice echoed. "Otherwise, do you think I would choose to cultivate an external body when I refined my essence? Don't you know that fusing with a zombie is far more difficult than possessing another cultivator’s body?"

He did not need to say the rest; Lin Xuan could vaguely guess. When fusing with a zombie, there were indeed numerous dangers, but the zombie's body was much tougher compared to a peer-level cultivator, even surpassing that of a fiend. A terrifying spiritual pressure descended from above as his aura rapidly strengthened. Lin Xuan showed a look of shock on his face and did not wait for the transformation to complete.

With both hands clapping together, a thick sword beam appeared, with runes flickering, and he fiercely thrust it towards the opponent.

This was no casual strike; it contained profound magical power. Lin Xuan's methods were far from just this. After shooting out the sword beam, his left hand reached downward.

Ssssh...

The sea surface split open as a fiery red staff emerged. This time, Lin Xuan did not use the Great Sword Technique; that would have taken too much time.

He directly and decisively cast several spells, causing the staff to spin and dance in the air, creating countless shadow images that covered half of the sky like lightning, fiercely falling towards the front.

This was far from over. With his right hand, Lin Xuan waved again, revealing an ancient small bell in his sight.

"Buzz!"

The sound of the bell echoed as the size of this treasure rapidly increased.

With runes flickering throughout its body, a purple glow made it even more mysterious and ancient. Soon, a loud noise erupted as countless crow-like fiend birds flew out from inside.

However, their bodies were much larger than crows, with three demon eyes each, enveloped in grayish-white fiend fire.

A chill emanated from them, clearly not ordinary fiend flames.

Flame Zombie Crows!

"Go!"

With a light exclamation from Lin Xuan, these zombie crows flapped their wings, producing thousands of wind blades. Each blade was about a foot wide, emitting an unbearable stench of death, far more powerful than ordinary wind blades. Soon, the loud noise grew as the zombie crows spat out grayish-white zombie fire, emitting a foul stench that contained the poison of decomposing corpses.

Taking advantage of his opponent's weakened state, Lin Xuan was not foolish and did not wait for the transformation to complete. He aimed not just for killing but for injuring him at this moment.

Although what the opponent said seemed true, Lin Xuan still decided to stay. Giving up on the treasure now would mean all his efforts were in vain.

He had faced old fiends of the Profound Concealment stage before; even if he couldn't defeat them, learning Shadow Diving allowed him to escape with some certainty.

Starve a coward, fatten a brave one. Maybe there would be another opportunity!

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan's attacks poured down like a deluge.

However, the old fiend ignored all this, as he had expected Lin Xuan's reaction. With a wave of his sleeve, two storage bags appeared.

The left bag opened and emitted bright light, revealing several golden-armored soldiers.

Holding various weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds, their armor was extremely luxurious, resembling celestial guards.

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted; these were puppets, but he did not know their specific cultivation levels. Puppets did not emit spiritual pressure or any aura.

The right bag opened to reveal a burst of fiend energy as two talisman scrolls emerged, transforming into a dragon and a tiger.

Spirit Beast Talismans!

Their cultivation was at the peak of the Profound Concealment stage!

The old man's intentions were clear; even a blind person could see them.

Delaying time!

Using these two Spirit Beast Talismans and the puppets to stall until he completed his transformation, Lin Xuan would not let him succeed so easily.

More magical power poured in as he stretched out his hand. The Magic Fate Sword appeared in his palm.

At this moment, numerous attacks converged on them. The ten golden-armored puppets gathered together, using their weapons to pierce and slash ahead.

Many thunderbolts, ice arrows, and sword blades appeared, with the power of these armored warriors roughly equivalent to late-stage Profound Core cultivators. However, standing together, they formed a formation that was both offensive and defensive in layers, far more powerful than when fighting individually.

The dragon and tiger were not idle either. Their deafening roars echoed as they assisted from the sides. Lin Xuan would find it difficult to eliminate them instantly.

While their strength did not match his old fiend's four disciples, their coordination was even more troublesome.

Lin Xuan's expression was extremely grim; this way, the opponent achieved their goal, but he could only watch helplessly.

However, he naturally would not let things worsen.

With a wave of his sleeve, more sword beams appeared, attacking those golden-armored puppets. Meanwhile, Lin Xuan emitted a low growl, causing the flame zombie crows to fiercely attack the dragon and tiger. With their strength, they could not defeat them but were certainly capable of restraining them.

Lin Xuan then took out the Mountain Water Fan, revealing a river dozens of meters wide above his head as the water surged and poured towards the puppets.

Although the opponent had an array assisting them, as lifeless objects, from some perspectives, their cooperation was even more默契: understanding or harmony through unspoken agreement than that of cultivators. However, they were only equivalent to late-stage Profound Core cultivators; how could they compare to Lin Xuan now?

Crackling sounds filled his ears as he hacked through the puppets into several pieces. Then, he turned and charged at two more spirit beast souls.

Roar!

The tiger bent its body and spat out a fire bomb from its mouth.

Dangerous!

Lin Xuan felt the spiritual power within it and swiftly dodged using Nine Heaven Microstep. The fire bomb landed over a thousand feet away in the sea.

Boom!

The seawater within several acres was almost completely evaporated, with countless water vapor spreading outward, creating thick white fog so dense that one could not see five fingers.

This clearly demonstrated its power!

At this moment, Lin Xuan had already teleported next to the tiger soul.

The tiger showed no fear as it opened its blood-filled mouth and fiercely bit towards Lin Xuan.

"畜生找死: damn yourself like an animal!"

Lin Xuan laughed in anger. He was not an ordinary cultivator; he did not dodge but instead performed a miraculous act, inserting both hands into the tiger's soul’s mouth, then gripping its upper and lower jaws with a loud shout.

Ssssh...

The fierce tiger, equivalent to early-stage Profound Core cultivators, was actually torn in half by Lin Xuan from its mouth.

A purple glow flickered as its soul naturally vanished.

Brutal was the only description.

The remaining dragon did not help but show fear.

Originally, when refining talismans, one would erase the wisdom of spirit beasts. However, their instincts remained. Seeing a companion fall, it dodged and hesitated to attack. But Lin Xuan naturally would not let it go. He flashed his body and appeared above the dragon's head.

The dragon felt something was wrong and struggled desperately but could not shake off Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan held its horn with one hand while forming a fist with the other, shouting loudly as he rained blows down.

Although the soul did not have a physical form, the things refined into Spirit Beast Talismans were different. Loud thuds echoed in his ears as he moved to the dragon's tail and grabbed it. He then threw it like a javelin, spinning several times before forcefully sending it flying.

With both hands clapping together, a massive sword beam appeared.

A hundred meters wide, it was extremely dense, fiercely falling down. The dragon immediately separated into head and body.

The entire process seemed complex but took only a few breaths. Then, a cold voice echoed: "Good, good, you managed to dispose of my subordinates so easily."

Postscript: Sigh, still not working. Although the recommendation votes have increased somewhat today, they are still far from making it to the homepage. Fellow daoists, Huanyu is going to burst 15,000 words today; I don't ask for monthly passes but do request recommendation votes. Can everyone support a bit? Recommendation votes are free after all! Thank you very much. Even if we can't make it to the homepage, let's try to improve our results as much as possible!!~!
