第两千二百四十四章 乐极生悲

Knowing one's enemy and oneself ensures victory in a hundred battles. Lin Xuan was confident about his own strength but never arrogant.

He believed that caution was always better, so he retreated to the shadows, watching the two sides use their powers. This would help him assess his next move.

Lin Xuan quietly moved away from the scene. Such high-level beings could cause a wide-ranging impact when they clashed. He did not want to accidentally get caught up in it. The Earth Rhinoceros Dragon had noticed these unexpected guests but was currently undergoing a heavenly tribulation, at a critical stage of advancement. Unable to chase them off, it could only tolerate the situation.

"Filthy wench! This is your own death sentence; I'll send you to hell!" A cold voice echoed as the black-faced man crossed his arms and cast several incantations. His shirt was torn apart by the magic fog that enveloped him, turning his skin pitch-black. Fingertip-sized scales also emerged, covering his body.

A loud crack sounded, a tail appearing behind him, measuring over ten feet long with sharp spines along its length.

Despite his harsh words, the black-faced man's heart was not entirely at ease, so he did not hesitate to transform into a demon. However, he did not summon any treasures; it seemed this fellow was confident in his physical cultivation.

"Die!"

With a fierce cry, the female demons attacked first.

Flashes of light and dark energy surged out, dozens of demonic artifacts hurtling towards the black-faced man.

"You dare die!"

The black-faced man did not sit idly by. He moved swiftly, hands swinging wildly as he unleashed forceful energy spirals. Bang!

Continuous explosions echoed in the sky as the black-faced man fought fifteen female demons alone. However, what followed left Lin Xuan speechless.

These female demons were overconfident; Lin Xuan had thought they might be formidable, but they were merely a bunch of paper tigers.

The roar of thunder filled the air as the female demons turned pale and spat blood.

Lin Xuan was speechless, while the black-faced man stared in shock. These females were boasting despite their incompetence. They dared challenge an existence at the Profound Void level? It was suicide!

Had these guys lost their minds?

Indeed, seeing that he could not hold his own, the female demons' arrogance vanished as they fled like frightened birds.

From afar, a mysterious woman observed this scene.

"Useless things!"

A hint of anger flashed across her face. "Two worthless trash, you dare me to intervene; what use are these useless servants."

"Miss forgive us, Miss forgive us."

Servants bowed in fear.

The black-faced man, usually timid, now charged forward with confidence.

"Aaah!" A scream echoed as he punched a female demon who could not dodge. The woman flew several miles before crashing into the mountain wall, spitting blood and losing her luster. If his guess was correct, she might have shattered her inner core.

The gap between Profound Void and Separation Realm was vast.

"Little sister!" A nearby female demon showed grief as she thrust a black sword at the enemy.

"A mere grain of sand dares to show itself?"

With disdain on his face, the black-faced man had already figured out their weakness. They were just ordinary Separation Realm beings daring to fight him? Had they lost their minds?

This fellow was also relentless. His left hand glowed as he transformed into a large pincer, grabbing the sword.

A crack sounded as the sword broke in two.

The female demon's life force was shattered; she coughed up blood.

The black-faced man sneered and opened his mouth, emitting dark energy.

Blood splattered as the woman could not dodge and was impaled by the dark energy.

The entire exchange took only a dozen breaths, leaving half of the fifteen female demons dead or severely injured.

"Hahaha…"

The black-faced man grinned as he turned to chase another demon.

Suddenly, space rumbled, and the mysterious woman appeared without warning, standing just a few feet away from him.

"Late-stage Profound Void!"

His expression changed dramatically upon seeing her. Any arrogance vanished as if doused with cold water.

Turning to flee was no longer an option; he would become their target.

"Brother Lou come help me!"

The black-faced man roared, then gritted his teeth and launched a powerful attack towards the enemy.

This strike used all his strength, creating a force spiral over ten feet in diameter.

"Die!"

Facing such a fierce assault, the mysterious woman did not flinch as she raised her hand to push forward gently.

Her movement was light, but Lin Xuan's pupils constricted, sensing something amiss.

A milky white glow emanated from her hand and clashed with the force spiral.

The glow was thin, seemingly fragile. However, appearances can be deceiving.

Upon contact, the force spiral dissolved like paper, while the white glow continued forward unimpeded.

The black-faced man's face turned pale as he could not evade. A scream echoed as his body was enveloped by the light. When it dissipated, no trace of him remained, seemingly reduced to ashes.
