第两千一百五十二章 紫罗纹尸虫

The residual force of the fist wind was still formidable, sweeping a dozen feet around with its power. The whistling sounds of the iron feather flying locust knife pierced his ears as it effortlessly turned the two brothers into a honeycomb.

However, Lin Xuan's face showed no joy; instead, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing something strange. The two demons that should have been destroyed vanished after a flash of spiritual light.

Only a torn talisman remained in mid-air, riddled with holes and completely useless.

A substitute talisman!

Lin Xuan recognized this treasure at once. He sighed. These twin fat and thin demons were indeed significant figures from the Heavenly Corpse Sect; ordinary Core Formation stage cultivators wouldn't have such treasures on them.

The substitute talisman wasn't invincible, but it could save a life in most cases. It was a pity to waste it on these two.

If he had known they possessed such a treasure, he should have used more drastic means to eliminate them. Then, they would not have had time to use the substitute talisman, and it would belong to him.

Lin Xuan sighed inwardly but his eyes gleamed with silver light. The two fellows hadn't appeared after using the substitute talisman; were they planning a sneak attack?

They must be out of their minds trying to hide from him.

Unless they were Spirit Transformation stage cultivators, nothing could evade his Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye.

It was just suicide.

Soon, Lin Xuan raised his right hand, and a sharp beam shot out from his index finger with incredible speed and force.

"Ah!"

A shrill sound echoed as the beam, only as thick as a thumb, tore through space with such power that it distorted reality.

"No!"

A bloodbath erupted ten feet away from Lin Xuan, and two figures gradually took shape—those twin fat and thin demons.

The fat demon's face was filled with disbelief; his head had been pierced by Lin Xuan's Black Spirit Drill.

"Big Brother!"

The thin demon was overcome with grief, tears welling up in his eyes. At that critical moment, if not for the push from his big brother, he would have died instead.

Despite their many crimes and ruthless nature, these brothers shared a deep bond. They had lived together for fifty thousand years, taking care of each other, but now, Big Brother was gone.

"Accursed!"

Evil cultivators also had emotions. The thin demon turned back with venom in his eyes: "You… you killed my big brother."

"How does that matter?" Lin Xuan's face remained calm. "I'm merely upholding justice. Those innocent souls who died at your hands deserve retribution, and I am avenging them."

"Rubbish!" The thin demon spat. "Stop pretending to be righteous. You killed my big brother; I don't want to live alone either. Let's die together."

Before he could finish speaking, he waved his sleeves, releasing several talismans and lightning orbs into the air.

Suddenly, a shocking amount of yin energy burst from his body.

Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted with curiosity but no foolishness. "Go!"

With a sharp command, the iron feather flying locust knife emitted a fierce beam, aiming at him.

But the thin demon was prepared for this too.

He flicked his sleeves, and several bags were thrown out. Their mouths opened wide, revealing countless lightning orbs and talismans.

Lin Xuan's expression froze. He knew the power of these talismans well; he often used them himself.

However, as one-time-use items, most high-ranking cultivators considered them a waste and didn't pay much attention to them. In previous battles, Lin Xuan had taken advantage of this, but now it was his turn to experience their might.

The power of just a few talismans wasn’t significant for Lin Xuan, but too many could be alarming. He would surely suffer if he faced them head-on.

Lin Xuan sighed and his body was enveloped in green light as he chose to dodge the attack temporarily. This allowed him to nullify the opponent's talismans and lightning orbs, but it also gave the thin demon time to prepare.

His body began spinning like a top in mid-air before rapidly inflating, resembling a balloon.

The thin demon, who was originally very skinny, now looked much fatter. It seemed he had bloated; his head and body were round, and his limbs were covered with fat, making him look even larger than the fat demon.

Lin Xuan's eyes widened in shock, but there was an ominous sign. The power of this technique must be formidable.

He couldn't delay any longer. Lin Xuan raised his right hand again.

Black light burst from his fingertips once more. Although the Black Spirit Drill required recharging after each use, he didn’t hesitate; he needed to eliminate this troublesome opponent first.

But it was too late!

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed as the thin demon exploded like a balloon.

Squealing sounds filled the air as a demonic insect emerged from his body.

Though called an insect, it was over ten feet long and resembled a tiger in size. Its appearance was grotesque with purple flowers covering its body, and it had two pairs of wings.

"This… is the Purple Carnation Corpse Insect?"

Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted; he had some knowledge ofworm expulsion technique (demon repelling techniques). It was said that corpse insects were just a general term for various types. Most spirit insects relied on sheer numbers, but only a few, even as single entities, could be incredibly powerful. The Purple Carnation Corpse Insect ranked among the top five in numerous corpse insects.

It could match a Spirit Transformation stage cultivator when mature.

However, few cultivators would keep such a corpse insect because it required using their own body as a nest and feeding it with essence blood; any carelessness could result in fatal consequences. The danger was too great.

While Daoist and evil techniques often had flaws, this level of danger was rare. @.
