第两千三百五十九章 出手相救

The five opponents were of no significance, all at the early Core Formation stage. However, there seemed to be a deep-seated enmity between them, as they continuously cast spells and summoned magical seals, causing explosions that echoed in everyone's ears. The ancient demons watching from the side gradually retreated further away.

From the scene, one party clearly had the upper hand over the other. Although both sides were evenly matched in terms of cultivation level, the first group was outnumbered by one person. Three against two seemed like a slight advantage but enough to tip the scales.

The siblings were struggling to hold their ground.

Lin Xuan frowned. He usually didn't bother with such trivial matters involving younglings. However, the ancient cloud markings on the siblings' clothes caught his attention.

"Xianyun Sect!"

Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead and sighed softly: "It's one of that sect’s youngsters? Even though I'm now the Supreme Elder of their sect, my purpose is merely to use their spiritual veins for cultivation. As a cultivator, I have no allegiance or feelings towards any demon sect."

Yet, humans are not trees; he had spent so much time in Xianyun Sect, and its disciples showed him such respect. Seeing two youngsters being bullied by others, it would be unkind to just walk away.

Lin Xuan decided to help the siblings. The situation before his eyes became even more unfavorable for them. They were already struggling against a larger group when another demon released their pet spirit beasts.

Two large-sized steppe wolf demons, with teeth glinting in the sunlight, approached the female. Their cultivation was only at late Core Formation stage, but in a one-on-one fight, the siblings could handle such beasts easily.

However, they were already under siege and struggling to defend themselves. These two unremarkable spirit beasts became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

"Ahhh!"

The steppe wolf on the left pounced at the woman, its fangs aimed for her throat.

She was shocked and panicked, but there was no way she could just surrender. The timing of the wolf's attack was perfect; it struck when she had exhausted her old strength and hadn't yet gained new energy. Her treasure was also over ten feet away from her, tangled by a shorter ancient demon’s blade. How could she possibly retrieve it in time?

The woman's face turned pale with fear as if her heart would leap out of her chest.

"Little Sister!"

On the side, the man was equally alarmed and angry. He couldn't just watch his younger sister fall to the demons. However, he was also preoccupied and couldn’t help her.

Just when it seemed that this woman's fate was sealed by the wolf’s mouth, an unexpected turn of events occurred. A flash of green light appeared, slicing through the wolf and splitting it in two.

Everyone present had not anticipated such a change. The woman survived against all odds, visibly shaken. Her brother heaved a sigh of relief, his face filled with joy.

In contrast, the three shorter ancient demons were both shocked and angry. Someone had dared to intervene, spoiling their chances like cooked ducks slipping from their grasp.

Both sides paused in their attacks as they searched for who had ruined their plans. Soon, they found out.

This was not difficult; Lin Xuan’s move earlier was no secret. Many of the ancient demons watching nearby had noticed it.

"Why are you interfering? Why did you save this woman?"

The tall ancient demon, clearly the leader, spoke with a tone of authority. His cultivation level was near the peak of Core Formation stage.

"Fine!"

Lin Xuan didn't bother with these insignificant youngsters and simply stated his intentions.

"What?"

The three demons were both shocked and angry, thinking they had misunderstood something. They had seen arrogant people before but never someone as audacious as this. Did they think them so weak that such behavior was acceptable?

They released their spiritual senses to scan Lin Xuan; he was only just entering the Core Formation stage.

"Brat, you dare to make such a big show! You're asking for it!"

The bald shorter demon on the left was furious and flicked his sleeves. A sharp cone-shaped treasure flew out, making a loud noise as it rushed towards Lin Xuan.

"Third Brother, stop."

The tall ancient demon, more mature and cautious, was also angered by Lin Xuan's boldness but understood that he must be confident with some backing. Acting rashly without knowing his opponent’s moves would be too hasty.

Unfortunately, his warning came too late.

Lin Xuan’s expression turned grim: "If you don't want to go to heaven, come to hell instead. I’ve given you a chance; now, I'll send you on your way."

His tone became icy as he waved his sleeves, releasing a stream of green light that flashed into countless green sword qi. There were nearly a hundred of them, their sharp edges piercing the air towards the three demons.

The three opponents were shocked and almost thought they had hallucinated. The cone-shaped treasure was instantly destroyed by Lin Xuan’s sword qi.

The tall demon reacted fastest. Seeing Lin Xuan's grim expression, he knew things had changed. When he saw Lin Xuan attack, his soul nearly left his body.

This old man must be playing the fool; how could a Core Formation stage cultivator have such power?

Was it an Immortal Profound or Separation stage? He didn’t care and had no time to ponder. Despite his shock, he did not intend to give up. With a loud shout, he reached for his waist and released countless demon qi.

Amidst the demon qi, two lion-headed elephant-bodied creatures appeared, with bat-like wings extending behind them, protecting him.

They looked formidable, but in Lin Xuan’s eyes, they were nothing more than paper mache figures. The piercing sword light flew past their defenses, mercilessly piercing through them.

Cries of pain echoed as the sword qi destroyed all their defensive treasures and spirit beasts without any effect.
