第一千八百零八章 各出法宝

...

The corpse demon exhaled, visibly relieved. However, his expression was still extremely unpleasant. To block Lin Xuan's attack had cost him dearly. The previous move had required the sacrifice of an arm.

Lin Xuan’s expression mirrored his opponent’s. After meticulously planning and nearly guaranteeing success, he had been foiled by the other party. The frustration in his heart was equally evident.

Both raised their heads, their gazes meeting, with a hint of sparks flying between them.

"You brat, did you steal my treasure?" the corpse demon spoke slowly, his resentment clear even to those who weren’t blind.

"Indeed, it was me who stole it. What do you want? Do you plan on biting me?" Lin Xuan's cold laughter echoed in their ears. At this point, denying it held no meaning. A Corporeal Stage corpse demon or not, he wasn't a mere puppet. If they really fought, the outcome remained uncertain.

Perhaps testing his newfound strength would be worthwhile?

This advancement to the后期 stage had been quite difficult, but the benefits of having both infants and pills advance simultaneously were beyond imagination for outsiders. Moreover, Lin Xuan dared do this with full confidence. Even if he couldn't win, he was certain he could escape, so what did he fear?

"You..."

Lin Xuan's arrogance nearly burst the corpse demon’s lungs. He had stolen his treasure yet still acted as if it was justified. There was no sign of remorse.

"Very well, very well. It seems you are quite confident. I know you're not an ordinary Separation Stage cultivator, but what does that matter? You think a bit of power gives you the right to challenge me. Pathetic!"

The corpse demon's cold laughter filled their ears, turning into a roar at the end.

"How can one know without trying?" Lin Xuan said with a calm demeanor, clearly not taking his opponent’s threats seriously.

Upon hearing this, the corpse demon’s expression was indescribable, but he didn't speak. This guy seemed to be of the type who wouldn’t shed tears until seeing a coffin. Words were useless; direct action would soon have him suffering the consequences.

His body exuded an overwhelming aura of corpse energy. A fresh arm grew from his left shoulder, and in an instant, it withered again, transforming into a new corpse demon limb identical to his right hand.

This wasn’t over yet. A pale white light appeared, and the broken armor on his left hand reformed.

With a glance, the corpse demon had no visible wounds except for a slightly discolored face. However, reality was different. Indeed, with secret techniques, limbs could regenerate, but the lost essence couldn't be replenished instantly. In other words, the corpse demon’s current strength was significantly diminished compared to his full power.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan wasn’t idle. He held a large jar of spirit wine in his right hand and was gulping it down like there was no tomorrow.

Lin Xuan wasn’t a heavy drinker, but he was replenishing his spent mana. Even if the immortal milk from ten thousand years ago was rare here, saving what he could was wise. The effects of spirit wine were inferior to those of immortal milk, but they were still quite good. His dantian and qi sea were continuously producing robust mana...

For now, both parties were content with their respective tasks, but as the saying went, before a storm comes, the wind fills the room. This was merely a calm before the storm.

Roar!

The corpse demon let out a loud roar, then cast a spell towards his ghostly face.

Dark clouds of阴风 swirled around the ghostly face, which opened its bloodstained mouth to spew foul black mist. Low-grade reanimated corpses numbered in the thousands, armored and armed. Crucially, these copper-armored reanimated corpses were formed by secret techniques; as long as their creator didn’t fall and they had mana, they could be considered immortal, making them extremely troublesome.

These low-grade beasts were literally worn out to death by them.

Now, hundreds of reanimated corpses roared and charged at Lin Xuan. The sheer force of the attack was formidable, though the corpse demon didn’t expect to defeat him with these creatures but hoped to cause significant trouble.

Next, the old monster opened his mouth, spewing a gray light that transformed into a long ribbon flying towards Lin Xuan’s neck.

This wasn't over yet. The old monster reached up and struck his crown, causing his body to spin rapidly in place. Gray-white corpse energy surged out, with an odd-looking treasure nestled within. It resembled a small mountain made entirely of white bones, with a waterfall cascading down its peak, the stench of blood permeating the air. A sea of corpses, rapidly growing in size.

Lin Xuan’s expression turned slightly grim but showed no fear.

With a wave of his sleeves, the Ten Thousand Souls Tower emerged from within. It looked unremarkable on the surface and even somewhat dilapidated, but the corpse demon's pupils constricted. As an old monster at the Corporeal Stage, he had keen eyesight and could sense the extraordinary nature of this treasure.

Lin Xuan cast a spell.

A buzzing sound filled their ears as the Ten Thousand Souls Tower emitted a bright light, opening its first layer. A blinding white light appeared inside.

This light formed a vortex, revealing a blood-red insect cloud.

The insects swarmed towards the copper-armored reanimated corpses, enveloping them in one strike with no悬念. The sheer number of blood ants was overwhelming.

At this moment, half the sky was filled by these insects. Although Lin Xuan hadn’t released all of them, over a million magical insects were dancing in the air.

As they say, like water to tofu, each has its match. These copper-armored reanimated corpses weren't originally meant for sacrifice; they were formed using secret techniques and nearly invincible. However, the blood ants ignored this and greedily devoured their corpse energy. Some even flew towards the ghostly faces in the sky.

The corpse demon’s powerful secret technique was immediately suppressed.

Regarding that ribbon-like treasure, Lin Xuan clearly saw it and pointed at it with a finger. The Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring emitted a bright light, and both rings clashed against the magical artifact, effectively blocking its formidable power.

Although Lin Xuan wasn’t entirely satisfied with his own life-bound treasure, considering it more of a chicken’s rib, he was right about its effectiveness. That ribbon-like magic artifact struggled to break free but was ultimately held back by the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring. Despite the advantage, escaping seemed impossible!~!
