第两千五百零八章 斗智又斗力

Almost simultaneously, the space around Lin Xuan's side began to ripple.

"Bad luck."

The old monster was greatly alarmed. His reaction was swift, but still too late; he could no longer dodge it. A black, sharp light pierced his head as blood gushed out instantly.

This light was only about the size of a thumb, yet its speed and power were astonishing—far beyond ordinary five-element spells.

Such suddenness, such speed, with such formidable power—it had to be Lin Xuan's Secret Technique of Black Spirit Drilling.

Next came the crackling sound as the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire and Thunderfire Spear broke free from their restraints. Though the strange coldness was powerful, it could only temporarily trap them in an ambush.

By this time, the ice block had completely melted. The Thunderfire Spear's surface was enveloped by flames and electric arcs, crashing down fiercely toward its target.

The sharp cry echoed loudly, its power truly formidable. Describing it as a meteorite falling to earth would not be far off.

Bang!

The old ice monster didn't dodge; he was hit head-on, dropping instantly.

A large hole appeared in his chest. The attack continued, and the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire turned slightly before a small phoenix emerged, spreading its wings and emitting a nine-heaven call as it swooped down on him.

Five-colored demonic flames.

Legend had it that Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire could kill immortals. Although Lin Xuan's current mastery was far from sufficient to match it, compared to ordinary fire spells, the five-attribute Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire was no less powerful than top-grade magical treasures.

Even a true Golden Stage powerhouse would find themselves in grave danger under such flames; let alone an injured avatar?

Lin Xuan's expression was grim. There was no joy or satisfaction after defeating a formidable enemy.

Too easy.

This was too easy.

If it were a妖族 at the One-Pointed Spirit stage, Lin Xuan wouldn't be surprised by its fall. However, this old ice monster was an avatar of a Golden Stage powerhouse. Its strength was comparable to late-stage妖族, and falling so quickly after such a brief encounter seemed suspicious.

Indeed, Lin Xuan had great confidence in his abilities but not enough to believe he could kill such beings with just a gesture.

His self-awareness was still there.

From this perspective, the scene of killing the old ice monster was too suspicious. Despite the apparent defeat of the enemy, Lin Xuan remained vigilant.

He had turned the tables, but he didn't want that old monster to use cunning tricks against him.

The old ice monster hadn't truly fallen, yet the scene just now seemed all too real. Where could this old fellow be?

Lin Xuan released his spirit sense, but found nothing.

Frowning deeply, he took a deep breath and injected all his spiritual energy into his eyes. Silver light flared in his pupils. Since the spirit sense failed, he hoped that the Spirit Eye Technique would work, hoping that the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes wouldn't disappoint him again.

He then turned his head slowly to look around.

This time, there was a result. A faint shadow appeared on his left side, moving slowly toward him.

The speed was extremely slow, not even leaking any spiritual energy, making it impossible for Lin Xuan's spirit sense to detect anything.

This old fellow was indeed bold and daring. Was he really trying to ambush me?

Lin Xuan was surprised but showed no signs of alarm on his face, instead appearing confused as if nothing was amiss.

"Perhaps... the old ice monster has truly fallen."

Lin Xuan muttered these words into the air. Then, a few sword qi streaked out from his sleeves, slicing through the air without any effect.

This time, Lin Xuan seemed to have given up completely, showing signs of joy at defeating a formidable enemy as he turned and prepared to fly toward the Snow Fox Clan in a flash.

Lin Xuan's acting skills were top-notch. At this moment, the faint white mist had arrived behind him, just over a dozen feet away. Space suddenly twisted, and a惨white claw silently shot out, catching Lin Xuan by surprise. Its target was his heart, and if it hit, he would surely be crippled.

A ruthless old monster.

But there was no blame; they were both in mortal combat and had to go all-out.

As Lin Xuan seemed about to fall, an unexpected scene unfolded.

Lin Xuan's shoulder twitched, and with barely visible speed, he slid forward a few steps.

Even at such a short distance, it was enough for him to evade the ambush. He had already turned his body around.

"Bad luck."

The old ice monster was greatly alarmed. He never expected his movements to have been detected. This boy had deep cunning and powerful magic. He had lured me into this trap.

Furious.

But by now, it was too late to dodge.

Since Lin Xuan had meticulously planned this, he couldn't allow him to escape at such close range. With a wave of his sleeve, a shower of silver light descended. No... wrong. The dazzling silver light didn't fill the sky but seemed to do so from the old monster's perspective due to their proximity. In an instant, the brilliant swordlight engulfed him.

Like a storm, when the swordlight faded, the old ice monster was riddled with wounds.

His face showed intense pain as he couldn't have expected this outcome. Soon, his expression turned to malice: "Little guy, I underestimated you. One wrong move and everything is lost. I never thought my body would fall in your hands. But don't be too happy yet; victory still belongs to me. The true form will extract your soul and refine it."
