第两千五百零五章 口出狂言

Princess Xiang'er's face was filled with a look of utter helplessness. At this point, what could she do? Even if Princess Yuankuo, the female warrior who didn't yield to men, managed to escape from her predicament, she would still be at a loss.

Old Ice Monster's expression was extremely cold, but there was a subtle hint of amusement in his eyes. The Snow Fox clan was detestable enough for him to use this as an excuse to uproot them completely. However, before he could fully form this thought, an unexpected voice sounded, accompanied by several coughs.

"Sir, what do you think you are? You say I stole the treasure of the Holy Temple, and so it is. Catching a thief involves evidence. Just based on your的one-sided word, you think you are something special?"

Lin Xuan's cold voice echoed in the grand hall, shocking all thedemon cultivator present.

As they say, "A person’s name casts a shadow," but Old Ice Monster wasn't just any spirit being at thedistract attention stage; he was an incarnation of a great power who had transcended his realm. Although his emotions and memories were vastly different from his original form, his strength remained unharmed.

Having shaken this world for tens of thousands of years, who dared to speak to Old Ice Monster with such audacity? Was it because the big guy had lost his mind or simply didn't want to live?

"Big fellow..."

Even Princess Xiang'er was speechless. She knew Lin Xuan from her childhood and understood his rebellious nature, but she never imagined him being so bold.

One needed power to make such a boastful claim. Was he challenging Old Ice Monster alone?

Impossible; the big guy was only at thedistract attention stage. Even if he was stronger than other cultivators of the same level, it wouldn't be enough to face this old monster head-on.

What was his plan?

Princess Xiang'er was both worried and curious but kept her mouth shut.

Regardless of what the big fellow had in mind, she would wait and see before making a decision. Deep down, she still trusted Lin Xuan.

Otherdemon race also showed various expressions. Multi-Arm Bear roared: "Daredevil human cultivator! How dare you treat us with such disrespect? I..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he lunged forward, only to be pulled back by Rat King: "Bear Brother, don't act rashly. Old Ice is here; let him decide anything that happens."

Rat King was much smarter than Multi-Arm Bear and was delighted at the situation. This human cultivator must have gone mad or simply didn't want to live. His actions were beneficial to his plans.

Multi-Arm Bear stopped in his tracks, surprised by such an insult. However, Old Ice Monster did not immediately react with anger; instead, he wore a smile on his face as he turned slowly towards Lin Xuan.

"Little guy, do you dare challenge me? You have the audacity to make such a boastful claim?"

"How can boasting matter?" Lin Xuan smiled, having already broken all pretenses. "Sir, why pretend to be righteous and just? The Snow Fox clan conspired with me to steal from the Holy Temple. I know what I did, and you must as well; it's nothing but a case of the thief accusing the capturer."

Lin Xuan's words caused Multi-Arm Bear's face to change. He was confused about how this young man knew so much.

Lin Xuan's reaction was sharp, immediately noticing his subtle expression changes. A hint of mockery played on his lips; he had hit the nail on the head with his guess.

"Sir and Old Ice Rat are one and the same. If you want to deal with the Snow Fox clan, do it openly. Playing these underhanded tricks behind their backs—what kind of hero or good man is that?"

Lin Xuan's expression was righteous, but Princess Xiang'er beside him found his words amusing. She knew Lin Xuan well enough; compared to Old Ice Monster, he was far from cunning.

What was Lin Xuan doing? Playing the fool?

But such an approach required strength as a guarantee. Otherwise, it would only infuriate the opponent and make one's own end even more tragic.

Confused by Lin Xuan’s strategy, this was something he should have understood clearly.

Princess Xiang'er was both worried and hopeful, remaining silent on the side.

"Such audacity!"

Old Ice Monster's scheming was deep, but Lin Xuan's repeated taunts made him lose his composure. His face became even more grim.

"You are asking for death!"

Before he could finish speaking, he flicked his sleeve, making no other movements. However, the surrounding primordial energy suddenly moved, converging to form a vortex. A terrifying force erupted from within.

This force was intangible but had substance; it was similar to Old Monster's previous attack.

However, while the difference lay in attributes, its power was incomparably greater, making it uncomparable.

Moreover, this force carried a hint of lethal intent that distorted space as it passed through.

Lin Xuan's face showed a trace of seriousness. Facing Old Monster’s attack earlier, he had used his crafted twin Yinlightning化解了危机; but using the same technique again would be foolish. If he summoned the twin Yinlightning once more, he would surely suffer greatly. Lin Xuan knew this well.

Yet, there was no fear on his face.

Lin Xuan raised his right hand and lightly shook it, sending a ball of flame about the size of an egg from his sleeve.

The spell used by the opponent was indeed strange, but Lin Xuan wasn't easily intimidated. The fully matured Illusory Heavenly Fire could slay immortals; although he had yet to master it completely, he believed he could still handle this crisis.

After the magical flame left his hand, it quickly grew larger as he cast a spell, sending countless sword qi around him. The scene was magnificent as they converged into a massive, solid sword.

"Cut!"

Repaying in kind, Lin Xuan didn't expect to injure the opponent with mere sword qi but couldn't let them feel too comfortable either.

Boom!

The strange force and Illusory Heavenly Fire collided. This time, not only did it fail to consume the magical flame; instead, a flash of blue light froze it.

"Hmm? Cold Flame?"

Old Ice Monster's face changed as the silver-colored sword rushed forward, splitting his body in two with a single slash.
