第两千五百四十三章 巧计灭魔

Chapter 2543: Ingenious Plan to Eliminate Demons

The several fierce tigers showed no intention of stopping. They turned their heads, opened their bloody mouths, and revealed sharp fangs that glinted with a dazzling light. A dozen or so white-hot beams of light, each about a foot in diameter, shot out from their mouths.

"Eh?"

A voice from the demon cloud sounded surprised, seemingly unable to believe that its wind dragon had been broken so quickly. An obscure incantation echoed through his ears as hundreds of ancient black characters flew out from the vortex.

These characters immediately grew with the wind and rushed towards the front.

Boom!

The sound of explosions filled the air like raindrops. The colorful spiritual light interwove continuously, and soon, those beams shattered into pieces. Then, the light balls transformed from the ancient characters flew back toward the tigers.

Despite their ferocity, the tigers showed no fear. Roaring loudly, they pounced into the ancient characters.

The tigers devoured with ease as whirlwinds emerged from their bodies. However, these ancient characters were not to be underestimated; in the end, both sides perished together.

"Hmph!"

Reclusive Spirit True Man was indifferent. He had only tested his skills lightly earlier. A glint of strange light flashed in his eyes as his whisk broom waved like a fly swatter at the side.

With such a simple action, nearby primordial qi rushed towards him at an incredible speed. Then, a flash of sharp swordlight appeared before them.

"Go!"

Reclusive Spirit True Man pointed his whisk broom, and the shimmering swordlights trembled slightly. The entire sky seemed to grow cold as they shot forward toward the demon cloud.

The scene was truly formidable; it seemed that the entire sky was filled with these shimmering swordlights.

Boom!

The demon cloud surged violently, showing signs of agitation. Nearby demonic qi gathered together, forming a large shield in mid-air.

This shield was solid and heavy, clearly indicating its formidable defensive capabilities. However, under the shimmering swordlights, it seemed as fragile as paper, easily torn apart into pieces.

"Foolish creature! Thinking that mere demonic qi can withstand my Illusory Shadow Sword Technique? Combine!"

Reclusive Spirit True Man waved his whisk broom again, and the sharp swordlights indeed converged in the middle. Countless swordlights disappeared, replaced by a towering giant sword.

This sword was enormous, over twenty feet long, emitting a shimmering coldness as it sliced forward with great weight.

"Bad news!"

A roar of anger came from the demon cloud. A demonic wind surged up, and the demon cloud dispersed to both sides. Then, an ugly ancient demon appeared in their sight.

The demon was tall but not ghastly; its body was covered in fine scales. Its hands were particularly striking—extremely long and with a large blade emerging from the elbow area. It had no forearms or palms, replaced by two massive blades.

The cold light was glaring, resembling an insect like a mantis.

Though Lin Xuan could not release his spiritual sense, he still saw clearly due to his keen eyesight. He couldn't help but show some surprise. Lin Xuan had spent over a century in the demon realm and knew ancient demons well, yet this type of ancient demon was unknown to him.

However, that wasn't unusual; there were countless types of ancient demons. Even an ancient demon might not fully understand its own kind.

The giant sword sliced down with a humming sound, distorting space as it passed. Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. Though he had expended all his magical power, his keen eyesight was still formidable. This strike could not be underestimated even at the peak of his strength.

Roar!

The revealed ancient demon raised its head and let out a thunderous roar from its throat. As it did so, cracking sounds filled the air as its arms rapidly grew larger.

The blade-like appendages crossed over to prepare for the giant sword's strike. However, Reclusive Spirit True Man's lips curled into a sinister smile.

As the two were about to collide, his whisk broom pointed forward again, timing perfectly. A light 'pop' echoed in their ears as the giant sword disintegrated, transforming back into hundreds of shimmering swordlights. They scattered like startled birds in all directions.

Sizzle...

Two intense beams shot from the demon's arms. Even without releasing his spiritual sense, Lin Xuan felt that these beams contained immense magical power. This ancient demon was undoubtedly a late-stage spirit fragment powerhouse and had likely not spared any effort.

However, no matter how powerful it was, its attacks fell on empty space. The scattered swordlights already converged from all sides toward him.

"Evil... detestable!"

The ancient demon was both shocked and angry. He had been tricked by the opponent's feint. This despicable human was too cunning! He roared with rage.

But what use was being upset? It was too late to change tactics now, let alone summon protective magical artifacts. The only thing he could do was release his body's demonic qi as a shield. However, that shimmering swordlight was formidable; the demonic qi was instantly swept away.

Sizzle...

Then, the demon light surged as the swordlights clashed with its scales.

These scales were well-protected but still couldn't block all the swordlights. A painful scream echoed as this seemingly powerful late-stage spirit fragment demon was dismembered by a barrage of swords.

The entire process was swift and complex, taking only half a cup of tea's time.

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted, his eyes showing some gravity. It was undeniable that Reclusive Spirit True Man had won with some trickery, but he still possessed formidable strength.

Moreover, the use of tricks proved his rich experience in combat, his flexible mind, and his adaptability—qualities that made him terrifying.

After all, it's better to outsmart than to overpower an opponent who is both powerful and intelligent.
