第一千七百七十九章 奇门宝物

The cold light flashed, and the icy killing aura was even more bone-chilling. Although Black Wind Venerable's head remained somewhat muddled, as a peak Separation Period cultivator, he had woken up in time at this critical moment.

With a flick of his right hand, a black blade energy shot out from his sleeve.

Boom!

It collided with Lin Xuan’s sword light.

Both attacks turned into nothingness simultaneously.

Lin Xuan did not show any signs of disappointment on his face. Although he had been poisoned, if one move could have killed Black Wind Venerable, the other party would be too weak to handle this situation. This was clearly impossible.

"Who are you?"

Black Wind Venerable’s voice, dripping with venom, sounded in Lin Xuan's ears. He was still not fully sober but his eyes had regained clarity.

As the leader of Black Wind Bandits, he was naturally a formidable figure who had seen many grand scenes while leading his subordinates through the chaotic seas.

He immediately realized that Lin Xuan was an undercover agent.

"Your observational skills are quite impressive, but you're too late to realize my identity," came a smile in response. Lin Xuan’s body emitted a faint green glow, and his figure blurred as he revealed his true form.

Black Wind Venerable's eyes showed a hint of confusion, then he turned his gaze towards the Second-in-Command with a cruel look.

"Second, you actually conspired with outsiders to plot against me?"

It was like being targeted by a venomous snake; the Second-in-Command’s heart pounded. However, at this point, there was no turning back as his fate and future were still in Lin Xuan's hands.

Realizing this, he smirked: "Even if I betray my allies for personal gain, what of it? Black Wind, do you think that a mere Separation Period cultivator can handle me today? Are you so desperate to die?"

Before the words left his mouth, he roared and summoned an unusual treasure. It looked like a pair of scissors but was more menacing in appearance, resembling the sharp jaws of a crocodile.

Crocus Scissors!

The Second-in-Command was shocked. He knew this was his master’s life essence weapon, forged from Black Yang Cold Iron with over ten rare materials added, all sharpened by thousands of years of cultivation. It was incredibly sharp.

This item could be considered a unique treasure. Facing such a formidable opponent, the ordinary treasures of other cultivators would not be used to directly engage; even less so with his inferior strength and weaker weapon. Seeing the enemy’s resentful attack, he fled towards Lin Xuan: "Senior, save me."

"Pathetic."

Black Wind Venerable's face was filled with disdain. He called a Separation Period cultivator ‘senior’ while seeking help from an opponent; this Second-in-Command had lost all dignity.

Despite his thoughts, his actions did not slow down as he cast the spell and sent the Crocus Scissors flying towards Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan had heard about Black Wind Venerable’s weapon before. His face showed no surprise when he raised his right hand with fingers slightly curled, seemingly trying to grab it.

"What...?"

Both Black Wind Venerable and the Second-in-Command were dumbfounded. As experienced cultivators, they had never encountered such a formidable opponent; even less so a common cultivator’s treasure that would be used for direct engagement?

Unless it was somedemon race with extraordinary talent.

Before this thought could fully form in Lin Xuan's mind, a strong demonic aura emanated from him.

Of course, unlike true demons, he was using the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens technique. His right hand transformed into sharp claws, and three-colored flames appeared.

While transforming into a demon was a secret art, Lin Xuan was still wary of facing a Separation Period cultivator’s treasure. However, with the added effect of Illusory Heavenly Fire, his chances were high.

Lin Xuan's actions seemed arrogant and reckless, as if not thinking through them, but that could never be true for someone as cautious as him. He had carefully considered this move.

"Demonic Cultivator!"

Black Wind Venerable’s pupils constricted but he did not pay too much attention. Even a mere demonic transformation technique was nothing to worry about; even the true demons of Separation Period would make a fool of themselves by directly engaging his Crocus Scissors.

Overconfidence always comes with a price.

Now, Black Wind Venerable waited for Lin Xuan's humiliation.

However, in the next moment, it was Black Wind Venerable who was stunned. An unbelievable scene unfolded before him.

The Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens technique could not be measured by ordinary demonic cultivators; it mimicked the secrets of the phoenix, a bird among the true spirits ranked among the top five for its immense power.

Moreover, the version Lin Xuan had obtained from Hundred Grass Sect was improved after Xuanfeng Fairy’s ascension. After re-merging and comprehending this technique, his strength had naturally increased.

Apart from that, his body's resilience post-demon transformation was on par with other demons of the same rank. He had been persistently consuming refined Nekrasia fruits for days without interruption, significantly enhancing his physical condition.

Adding Illusory Heavenly Fire, the divine nature of this demonic flame could mitigate half or more of the Crocus Scissors’ power.

The result was obvious; the weapon barely scratched Lin Xuan’s skin.

Black Wind Venerable was speechless, almost thinking he had seen a mirage. However...

This was not the worst outcome.

Subsequently, Illusory Heavenly Fire enveloped his treasure. The inevitable result was that the coldness, poison, and corrosion effects combined to destroy it. Apart from supreme divine treasures, ordinary treasures could not withstand such an attack.

The result was catastrophic; the Crocus Scissors were completely destroyed by Illusory Heavenly Fire right before Black Wind Venerable's eyes.

"This is impossible; it must be a illusion."!!
