第两千零五十三章 虚空遁形术

Lin Xuan's figure flashed as he instantly deployed Nine Heavens Microstep. In an instant, he moved a thousand feet away.

He did this not because he had discovered any danger or anomaly, but simply due to his experience honed in the midst of blood and gore.

In other words, such a decision was instinctive for Lin Xuan; he didn't even need to think about it. However, sometimes instinctive reactions are crucial.

Almost as soon as he moved away, the faint shadow still lingered where it had been. Then, "tsk" sounded in his ears. The sound was so light and fine that it could almost be ignored. But with it came a ripple in space, and several sword qi emerged from Lin Xuan's sleeves, each no longer than an inch but rapidly expanding as they cut through the air. They multiplied into three, then nine, and soon there were thousands of them, piercing toward the opponent.

The sight was astonishing, but this was just surface-level impression. Even a spirit Buddha Treasure would be useless against such sword qi. How could these possibly achieve their intended effect? There was no way they could even provide any hindrance.

But that didn't mean they wouldn't work at all. With his extensive experience in combat, Lin Xuan couldn't afford to use a wasted move. Even if the thousands of sword qi couldn't injure her, they might still confuse her, causing her to lose focus.

Then, Lin Xuan raised his right hand and pointed it toward the left front.

"Tsik..."

The sound of breaking air echoed as the illusory spirit heaven fire flew back like a whale sucking in water.

Lin Xuan's figure flashed again, and the space seemed to melt, like throwing a stone into water, creating ripples that spread outward slowly. The scene was so strange it was hard to tell if it was an illusion or reality.

In the midst of these ripples, Lin Xuan vanished.

Nine Heavens Microstep!

But it seemed as though he had only just begun using it because after vanishing, he never reappeared, seemingly hidden in the void.

This was a secret technique he recently mastered, essentially a variation of Nine Heavens Microstep that incorporated more advanced spatial techniques to conceal his position.

Of course, this didn't mean he could truly become invisible. But in high-level combat where every millimeter counts, even a few seconds of confusion could give him the upper hand.

Lin Xuan named this technique "Void Forming Technique." This was his first time using it today.

He hoped for unexpected results but overestimated himself. Ice Spirit Demon Sovereign was no ordinary entity; she had seen all manner of spatial techniques. Moreover, Lin Xuan hadn't even grasped the spatial laws yet, just a superficial imitation at best.

The woman's brows shot up as an eerie gap appeared on her forehead.

Her eyes!

But there were strange colors continuously changing in her pupils.

"Ahhh!"

Lin Xuan staggered and fell out of the void several dozen feet to his left. The opponent had broken through his spatial technique; that beautiful eye seemed unlookable, for once gazed upon, it would cause dizziness.

What kind of spell was this?

His mind raced as he realized there wasn't time to delve into it now. Despite only suffering a minor setback, he was at a disadvantage. This was an excellent opportunity the opponent wouldn't miss.

Lin Xuan's combat experience was rich, so his reaction was naturally swift.

A burst of green flame appeared on his body as the Green Flame Qilin Armor materialized. Then, with another wave of his sleeves, a glow enveloped him as the Mystic Azure Mother-Child Shield also covered him.

There were seven shields in total, distributed fan-wise. Lin Xuan issued a spell, and each shield emitted a burst of light, forming a green light screen. A Tai Chi pattern flowed over it, making it seem mysterious beyond words.

This was a replica of a spirit treasure, a rare complete set. Its defensive capabilities were obvious; Lin Xuan believed that even compared to the supreme spirit treasures, they wouldn't be inferior.

His only concern was what powerful treasures Ice Spirit Demon Sovereign might have brought from the lower realms. After all, with her status, it wasn't strange for her to produce a primordial spirit treasure.

Of course, this was just a joke; Ice Spirit Demon Sovereign definitely had a primordial spirit treasure but wouldn't entrust it to a mere Daoist of the Profound Knowledge realm.

If anything happened, this ancient demon sovereign would be furious.

Lin Xuan was certain about this. Otherwise, why bother fighting? He might as well quickly agree to serve her. The difference between a primordial spirit treasure and a later-formed one was not just a single character; their power was incomparable, almost on different levels.

His guess was correct. In reality, the situation was even better than he had hoped. Not only did she lack any primordial spirit treasures, but she didn't bring any法宝at all. Her mysterious spells were enough to handle any threat.

Lin Xuan's judgment was right; such a good opportunity wouldn't be missed. She raised her hand and snapped her fingers forward.

Sharp light surged as the white magical aura condensed into several gleaming black swords, forming a dazzling beam that slashed toward Lin Xuan.

"Bang!"

A loud explosion echoed.紧接着,清脆的撞击声接连传入耳中。Lin Xuan吸了口气,双手平举,浑身法力如江河决堤般灌注到身前的盾牌上。

无论如何,总要先撑过这一波。

Ice Spirit Demon Sovereign's face showed a hint of surprise. She didn't hold back, and if it were an ordinary Profound Knowledge Realm cultivator, he would have been killed long ago.

This guy, though insignificant, indeed had some skill.

But what does that matter?

How many tricks can he use to stop me?

A light laughter sounded in his ears. Then the woman raised her hand, pointing a finger as a sword toward the front. The white beam spun around and transformed into a several-meter-long giant snake, coiling its body around the Mystic Azure Mother-Child Shield's light screen, biting fiercely.

Postscript: I've fallen down another spot again. Sigh, still so far from reaching 500 monthly votes. Even though Huan Yu knows updates aren't frequent, she has been working hard for two days straight. Her baby is still small and needs to be comforted at night, changing diapers, etc., but Huan Yu really has tried her best. Seeing the number of monthly votes makes her heart ache. Fellow daoists, it's Christmas today. Please help Huan Yu by voting for Bai Lian if you have any monthly votes. It was a month-long effort that ended in failure, which is really hard to bear. Please, everyone, vote for Huan Yu!
