第一千九百六十一章 元珠

……Pass by? | The woman was stunned for a moment before she burst into a giggle. "So it is, but no matter why you are here, it doesn't matter anymore. Even if you suffer collateral damage, that just means your luck has been bad. Since you're here now, there's no need to think about leaving. The only outcome will be the destruction of your soul."

The woman had already acted as her words fell silent.

She raised her left hand and waved a few strands of silk in it. Instantly, a pinkish-red fragrance spread out like bees rushing towards Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan frowned, his expression filled with extreme annoyance. This time he really had bad luck; not only did the Corpse Demon have its soul stolen, but he was also caught up in this conflict without reason.

He understood what the other party's purpose was. In essence, it was nothing out of the ordinary—just killing to cover their tracks.

Damn!

Although Lin Xuan didn't want to engage in pointless combat, he couldn't allow himself to be slaughtered either. At this moment, countering was his only choice.

However, compared to cultivators, ancient demons at the same level would be more difficult to deal with; he couldn't afford to be careless.

In a blink of an eye, that pinkish-red mist had rushed up to him and gathered in the middle. A pinkish-white skeleton appeared in his vision.

It looked eerie and mysterious, making a series of cracking sounds as it chewed away, then suddenly plunged down towards Lin Xuan.

"Impossible!"

Even with his composure, Lin Xuan couldn't help but change color. He had clearly seen that the woman only used one magical blade; when did it split into two? Not far from him, another identical magical blade was still clashing with the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring. Although he hadn’t activated the Divine Phoenix Eye, his divine sense was confident enough. There should be no such misjudgment.

Excluding his own factors, this magical blade indeed had its unique advantages. However, at this moment, thinking about it was meaningless. Due to how sudden that attack was, Lin Xuan couldn't avoid it and didn’t even have time to summon any treasures.

Just as he was about to lose his head, Lin Xuan suddenly raised his right hand.

Bang!

A dull collision sound echoed in his ears. Lin Xuan’s right hand bled profusely, indicating that he had suffered a significant blow, but he avoided being killed. The woman's eyes widened with shock, her face filled with disbelief.

"Come... impossible, your body is so resilient; you actually blocked my magical treasure bare-handed."

It was no wonder the woman was shocked. She knew her own powers well. Her life-bound treasure might not have been extraordinary in terms of power, but it carried a spatial ability that allowed it to split into two. This effect often left unenlightened cultivators dead for reasons unknown.

This time, she tried this trick again, and the opponent indeed failed to see through it. However, at the critical moment, it was blocked.

Wasn't there something wrong? The person's body was so hard that he could block her magical treasure with his bare hands.

On the other side, Lin Xuan was drenched in cold sweat. He almost walked into the ghost gate. If not for his arm blocking the blade, his head would have been cut off.

He couldn’t help feeling terrified and then became extremely angry. The ancient demon at the middle-stage of the Corpse Demon realm? Let’s see how much power she truly has when I take it seriously.

With a wave of his sleeve, dozens of sword qi emerged like fish swimming out of water. They surged forward like a storm, piercing towards her.

This was just the beginning.

He then raised his right hand, and an egg-sized flame appeared. It glowed in four colors before emerging as a small bird about a foot long.

A phoenix-like cry echoed as it flew toward her.

The attack wasn’t over; the Magic缘Sword appeared in his palm. This time, Lin Xuan was truly enraged, preparing to send this woman straight to hell.

If you don't show your claws when you're a tiger, people will think you’re a sick cat?

Meanwhile, that ancient demon woman knew her first attack had failed and realized she might have kicked a hornet’s nest. As Lin Xuan's attacks followed like a storm, those sword qi were merely casually cast by the opponent and not difficult to deal with. She suppressed her hand, and black magical energy surged out like tentacles, quickly engulfing the sword qi.

However, the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire was much harder to handle. The woman first summoned a shield, but it was pierced through by the small phoenix.

Her face turned ashen as she frantically reached out and slapped her chest, opening a slot from which she spat out a black yuan珠. The dense magical energy around her managed to resist the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire.

Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed, but he didn’t show much surprise. Ancient demons came in many varieties; after reaching the stage of an infant spirit, some resembled human cultivators and condensed something akin to an infant spirit within their bodies, while others were more like beasts, producing a treasure similar to a demon nucleus.

This woman was clearly the latter.

These things were called yuan珠, and she had sprayed this out, containing her years of cultivation’s true essence. It could withstand the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire, which wasn’t surprising.

However, what did it matter? For her, the crisis hadn't ended yet. A silver light suddenly appeared before her eyes, a majestic sword qi over twenty feet long. Although it didn’t reach the heavens or touch the ground, it was still astonishing as it descended upon her head.

This attack from Magic缘Sword wasn’t at full power; Lin Xuan wasn’t being chivalrous but wanted to continue attacking. Using only sword qi made the speed much faster.

Although not fully powered, with his strength having grown significantly after entering the middle-stage of the Corpse Demon realm, the power of Magic缘Sword naturally increased as well.

The demon woman was already pale and gasped in horror: "Divine Treasure of Heaven!" This is undoubtedly a genuine divine treasure; it’s not a fake.

Lin Xuan's attacks were seamless. At this moment, she had no place to hide. In shock, the woman didn’t want to wait for death either. She waved her hands repeatedly and flew out over ten magical treasures. Some were offensive, some defensive, but their goal was the same—to block or weaken that sword qi…!~!
