第一千八百七十一章 血火蚁的伤害免疫

Chapter 1871 - The Bloodfire Ants' Immunity to Harm

A buzzing sound filled the air as a crimson cloud of insects completely enveloped the sky. As the evil insects fell, the bloodfire ants quickly sealed any gaps.

Initially, the ghostly figure of the demon seemed formidable, but soon its body was covered in densely packed bloodfire ants.

These demons did not bite or sting; they merely clung silently. However, Lady Bixiu's expression remained grim as a bad feeling filled her heart.

Sure enough, an overwhelming and savage aura suddenly erupted, accompanied by intense rage. A deafening roar echoed through the air.

The bloodfire ants attached to the ghostly figure simultaneously self-detonated.

These demons individually were insignificant in terms of power, but with thousands of them together, their self-detonation became a formidable force. However, this delay was enough for Lin Xuan.

He raised his hands and drew mysterious and ancient incantations from his lips, casting a spell that shimmered with five-colored light. The aura seemed to have life as it spread outwards, covering an area of about ten feet in diameter and concealing Lin Xuan's form.

"..."

Lady Bixiu was shocked. Although she did not know Lin Xuan's intentions, as a middle-stage Dongxuan cultivator, she recognized the significance of his secret technique. She tried to stop him but was met with a barrage of bloodfire ants that continued to approach despite her efforts.

Enraged, Lady Bixiu waved her hand, and a demon sword flew out, reducing the bloodfire ants to dust. Lightning fire burst from her sleeves, shattering the insect cloud into pieces.

These demons' immunity to harm was irrelevant; they were merely minor tactics. But this delay gave Lin Xuan enough time. As Lady Bixiu broke free, she witnessed an incredible scene.

A dull explosion sounded as the aura dispersed, revealing a hundred Lin Xuans. Each one moved differently but looked identical, achieving a perfect illusion that could deceive anyone.

Lady Bixiu was stunned. Even with her vast experience, this technique was too amazing to have heard of. The delay caused the space around them to distort and collapse. The hundred Lin Xuans vanished instantly.

"Such powerful concealment techniques."

Lady Bixiu's eyebrows furrowed tightly. However, she remained calm despite the shock. Closing her eyes, she released a powerful divine sense.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan was already a thousand miles away.

Instantaneous travel over long distances could not escape middle-stage Dongxuan cultivators; their divine senses could reach five thousand miles. Therefore, Lin Xuan planned to move continuously from the start.

For ordinary cultivators, he had to consider whether his body could withstand it, but for Lin Xuan, with his resilient physique, there was no issue.

After manifesting a hundred feet away, Lin Xuan immediately used the Illusory Shadow Escape technique again. He repeated this process five times.

Just a few more attempts and everything would be fine. However, at that moment, a light exclamation caught his attention.

A chill ran down Lin Xuan's spine as he turned to look. To his left, about a hundred feet away, dozens of cultivators gathered.

Two in particular stood out. Their powerful presence was concealed but recognizable to Lin Xuan—middle-stage Dongxuan monsters.

Fortunately, they were only at the beginning stage, but their strength still sent shivers down one's spine.

The one on the left was no taller than four feet, emaciated with large eyes and a flat nose, and a mouth full of yellow teeth. His hair was messy and greenish-black.

"Toxic Dragon Patriarch."

Although Lin Xuan had never met this monster in person, he recognized its avatar after two life-and-death battles. The Toxic Dragon Patriarch was not alone; beside him stood White Bone True Monarch at the middle-stage Dongxuan level. Behind them were dozens of high-level cultivators, each with formidable strength.

The Holy City spared no expense for this mission.

Now, these cultivators from Red Leaf Island stared in disbelief as Lin Xuan appeared out of thin air. Their faces showed nothing but shock.

Among them, the fastest to react was the Toxic Dragon Patriarch. Just like his familiarity with Lin Xuan, he hated him deeply and could not have missed his presence.

After a brief moment of surprise, the Toxic Dragon Patriarch's face lit up with joy.

"Lin Xuan, it's you!"

His excitement was evident from his voice.

He did not know why Lin Xuan appeared here but cared little. This guy had destroyed his lair; there was no way he would let him escape.

With a loud shout, the Toxic Dragon Patriarch raised his hand like a bird claw and curled his fingers, reaching out toward Lin Xuan...

This single strike seemed to grasp the essence of heaven and earth's primordial energy, merging with the demon's aura to form an enormous hand that descended upon Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan did not show fear. In just a few moments, he had already conjured several thoughts in his mind. He was momentarily distracted, but so was the opponent. Thus, he still had ample time to use the Illusory Shadow Escape technique.

However, Lin Xuan chose not to run.

Why escape when one could turn danger into opportunity?

Despite being in a dangerous situation now, there might be an opportunity for transformation.

The enormous hand descended upon him.

If it were just a regular Separation Period cultivator, this would have reduced them to dust. But Lin Xuan did not rely on common sense.

He did not dodge; instead, he raised his right hand and shouted as he punched toward the sky.

As he moved, primordial energy gathered around him, forming a massive fist that clashed with his punch against the sky.

Boom!

A deafening sound echoed through the air. The two enormous objects formed by the primordial energy collided violently.

The impact was beyond description; Lin Xuan staggered back a step.

This was expected. Although dual婴 and one丹 helped control the primordial energy, they were still inferior to middle-stage Dongxuan cultivators in terms of strength.

The gap between their levels made it difficult to overcome. Sometimes, the chasm became apparent without notice.

In this confrontation, Lin Xuan was slightly at a disadvantage, but he maintained his composure. Instead, the Toxic Dragon Patriarch, who seemed to have the upper hand, showed extreme shock on his face.

"Impossible!"

He even exclaimed in surprise and scanned his divine sense toward Lin Xuan.

His expression then turned puzzled. Late-stage Separation Period, correct? Just now, he almost mistook Lin Xuan for a peer-level cultivator, thinking that he had somehow advanced to middle-stage Dongxuan through good fortune.

Such occurrences were rare but not unheard of; luck could play a significant role in cultivation.
