第两千三百七十一章 巧计脱身

However, the words rang true as the Saint Ancestor of Heaven's Permission did not dare to show even a hint of contempt.

With a snap of his fingers, when they separated again, a peculiarly shaped treasure lay in his palm.

It looked somewhat like a round plate but had sharp blades and knife points extending from its surface.

"Let you see my Heavenly Crystal Plate!"

The Saint Ancestor of Heaven's Origin roared. If it were the genuine Four Symbols Sword, he would struggle to handle it; however, merely a replica was not much of an issue.

A cold and fierce look flashed in his eyes as his right hand summoned the treasure.

A flash of blue light appeared, and countless talisman inscriptions floated from the surface of the Heavenly Crystal Plate.

Then they converged towards the center, revealing terrifying blades that appeared before his vision.

He slashed at the four spirit shadows.

Bang!

The thunderous explosion echoed in his ears as gale-force winds burst out everywhere. However, Lin Xuan did not care much about who won or lost. He had merely summoned the Soul Devouring Sword to cover up his tracks.

Not only was he uncertain of defeating the Saint Ancestor of Heaven's Origin, but even if he managed to do so, it would be impossible for him to escape this ancient demon.

Before he could act, nearby space inexplicably distorted.

Sudden!

Immediately after that, the hundred Lin Xuan figures scattered and vanished from sight.

"Ah?"

The Saint Ancestor of Heaven's Origin furrowed his brows slightly but did not let the other slip away. He closed his eyes and released his divine sense. Although he was only an outer manifestation, his abilities and power were far inferior to that of the main body. However, his divine sense strength was still formidable. Soon enough, he discovered Lin Xuan's whereabouts.

"Running a million miles in one go; this Dao technique truly has some mystery to it. At the standard of a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator, it is even more extraordinary. No wonder the Twin Demons of Heavenly Mist suffered at his hands."

The robed cultivator looked towards the direction Lin Xuan had disappeared and showed a look of surprise.

This kid was far more troublesome than he imagined. But precisely because of this, his desire to kill Lin Xuan grew stronger.

Danger must be eradicated in its infancy; it could not be allowed to grow any further.

The Saint Ancestor of Heaven's Origin waved his sleeves and put the Heavenly Crystal Plate back into a storage bag at his waist. Then he stepped forward lightly as if nothing was happening, but his figure suddenly vanished from sight.

Spatial secret techniques!

As an ancient demon saint, such secrets were naturally known to some extent.

More than ten thousand miles away, Lin Xuan reappeared. However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a sharp sound of breaking air reached his ears.

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted; the Saint Ancestor of Heaven's Origin was indeed a formidable ancient demon with incredible speed. Although it had not caught up to him yet, it was already very close.

Lin Xuan naturally did not dare to dally and moved like a butterfly, once again using the secret technique of Illusory Dao...

Thus, one chase and one escape, they had already traveled over ten thousand miles.

Although the Saint Ancestor of Heaven's Origin's speed was extraordinary, it still fell short compared to Lin Xuan's Illusory Dao secret technique.

However, there was no sign of relief on Lin Xuan's face. As long as he delayed even a moment, the other would catch up.

In other words, even with the Illusory Dao's subtlety, it could not escape this demon.

Unless... use a random teleportation talisman.

But Lin Xuan did not do so because at that moment, another plan was brewing in his heart.

This was a dense forest. The air was filled with floral scents as two ancient demons of varying heights sat on a stone and played chess. The one to the left held a Go piece but had yet to decide where to place it next.

However, just then, spatial fluctuations surged.

A sharp crackling sound echoed, and in front of him, ten feet away, a young man in a green robe appeared.

"Wha—"

The two ancient demons were stunned. They vaguely felt that this youth was familiar; he had used the teleportation array to arrive here the previous day.

They had heard three senior Separation Union Realm cultivators call him Uncle.

Thinking of it, the two Separation Union Realm cultivators showed a look of respect and wanted to stand up. However, they did not have time to act as Lin Xuan entered the stone house like a gust of wind before them.

The teleportation array stood alone here.

Lin Xuan's face was filled with joy.

His purpose was clear; since there was already a teleportation array nearby, why use a random teleportation talisman?

A good sword should be used on its blade.

Of course, Lin Xuan could do this because as his cultivation increased, the distance he could move using Illusory Dao had greatly expanded. Additionally, he could now control the direction of movement like ordinary light travel.

Thus, after several swift movements, Lin Xuan arrived here.

Without hesitation, he flashed and appeared on top of the teleportation array.

Then Lin Xuan clasped his hands and cast a spell, causing a buzzing sound as milky-white spiritual light enveloped his body.

Just then, breaking air sounded in his ears. Far away, silver light shone; the Saint Ancestor of Heaven's Origin's manifestation had caught up.

The two ancient demons guarding the teleportation array were dumbfounded and did not know what they had discovered.

Seeing Lin Xuan clearly, the Saint Ancestor of Heaven's Origin's face changed drastically. However, it was too late to stop him; the milky-white light blurred as Lin Xuan vanished without a trace.

The teleportation was complete.

"Damnit!"

The calm expression on the Saint Ancestor of Heaven's Origin's face disappeared as his demonic light flickered like a whirlwind towards the teleportation array.

How could he, a Saint Ancestor, let this insignificant Spirit Transformation Realm kid escape from his hands? If that were to be said out loud, it would become a laughingstock in the three realms.

That little brat must be tortured and soul-fragmented!

However, though his thoughts were correct, reality was harsh. He had arrived just too late; as he stepped onto the teleportation array, he noticed that its light suddenly dimmed.

"Damnit!" The Saint Ancestor of Heaven's Origin was furious, his eyes turning blood red. Without any further action, the stone room turned to dust.

Describing him as a raging bull would not be an exaggeration at this moment.

He turned his head and looked at the two ancient demons who were already petrified with fear; he was not venting anger; as a Saint Ancestor of the Transcending Tribulation Realm, he had no time to indulge in such trivialities.

"Senior, what instructions do you have?"

The two unfortunate fellows trembled uncontrollably and stammered. However, before they could finish speaking, the Saint Ancestor of Heaven's Origin acted.

A demonic wind swept over, enveloping the two ancient demons as he ruthlessly performed a soul probing technique.

He wanted to find out where Lin Xuan had escaped to; the Nine Heavens Immortal Female's遗宝 was still on this kid. No matter what, there was no way Heaven's Origin would give up.

On the other side, Lin Xuan reappeared in Snow Crow City.

The place set up for teleportation arrays was not as desolate as the other end; it was inside a vast and majestic hall with dozens of demonic cultivators present.

A few were city officials responsible for guarding the teleportation array, while most had come out of admiration to use the array.

Lin Xuan had been here before and knew its layout well.

When the white light dissipated, Lin Xuan did not waste any time. He waved his sleeves, and a green sword qi shot out from his palm with a crackling sound.

The teleportation array was split in half without hesitation.

The entire process was swift; nearby cultivators were all stunned.

In the next moment, curses echoed.

"Bold ruffian, daring to disrupt my Snow Crow City. Eat your heart out."

"This far-distance teleportation array is destroyed; quickly apprehend him and hand him over to the city lord for punishment." "Fool, the city lord is closing his life gate and hasn't appeared in thousands of years. Such matters should be reported to the Great Elder."

The situation changed suddenly as the few demonic cultivators guarding the teleportation array were both angry and shocked. They cursed while rushing towards Lin Xuan.

These reckless fellows did not even bother checking Lin Xuan's cultivation before charging at him.
