第两千六百六十一章 身内化身显神通

The saying "the first bird shot from a gun is the one to be killed" was well understood by all the old monsters. With Lin Xuan currently at his peak, who would dare to provoke him?

Having more people meant having more strength, but in this moment, their disadvantage was clearly evident. The elders of the three sects were scheming against each other and couldn't coordinate effectively.

Lin Xuan saw this very clearly. He wouldn’t let this good opportunity slip through his fingers.

Taking advantage of the shock from his powerful techniques, he decided to deal with these enemies first before making any further decisions.

With a swift command, Lin Xuan moved his right hand forward.

A silver flash appeared as the Nine Palaces Needle Sword vanished from its original position. Moments later, spatial fluctuations erupted as it materialized in front of the cultivator wielding the short rod and long spear.

The two old monsters were greatly alarmed.

They had seen clearly how powerful this treasure was. Their companion had fallen after just a brief encounter; they would meet the same fate if they faced it directly.

Although they had been engaging Lin Xuan fiercely, effectively restraining his divine consciousness and mana, on the surface, they had completed their task. In reality, what they were facing was merely a mere flicker of his sword energy.

The disparity in power was evident enough, wasn't it?

If they foolishly faced his true essence treasure head-on, their demise would be inevitable.

Not wanting to die, they retreated as the only option.

Fortunately, the sword light was still over a hundred feet away. This should give them enough time to retreat into the array.

The two old monsters exchanged glances and moved almost in unison.

With a loud shout, they forced back the sword light with their treasures before retreating diagonally.

Their plan seemed good, but Lin Xuan had anticipated this move.

Raising his right hand, he delivered a light punch forward.

The action was devoid of any fiery display. Not all powerful techniques needed to be flashy; at his level, both the aura and the execution of movements had reached a state of simplicity.

As the punch struck, spatial fluctuations surged, but the force was dispersed rather than focused on them. Instead, it encompassed an area of dozens of feet around their bodies.

"What is this?" they were astonished.

Wasn't this young Lin boy mad? Otherwise, why would his fist's trajectory be so off?

Despite their shock, they continued to flee. This young Lin fellow was clearly beyond their ability to contend with.

For now, escape was the only option.

Just as the two old monsters were about to vanish into the black fog, something unexpected happened. The space around them distorted slightly, enough to prevent them from using the array's protection.

Boom!

The black fog dispersed, and they bounced back like hitting a wall.

Their faces showed extreme shock.

Lin Xuan exhaled in relief; his guess was indeed correct.

Although he didn't know what this Spirit Ghost Five Elements Great Array was, it clearly contained somelaw enforcement power (law of space).

Space Law!

This allowed the user to freely move within the array.

Just with this ability alone, they could stand invincible.

But for other cultivators, that was all. For Lin Xuan, a mere thread of spatial law meant nothing. He had faced themarionettes (in a metaphorical sense, often used to refer to cruel or brutal officials)'s avatar during his tribulation and understood the power of laws far beyond what peers at his level could comprehend.

To break it would be difficult, but to merely disrupt it was much simpler.

Just let the space slightly collapse or distort; their dream of escaping into the array would become a mirage.

Practice makes perfect.

Lin Xuan didn't give them time to think as the Nine Palaces Needle Sword fell like rain.

Cries filled the air as both old monsters, along with their essence bodies, were reduced to powder by the immortal sword.

Their fall!

Rumble…

The giant iron fire ants, several dozen feet long, were also frightened. Seeing Lin Xuan's gaze, they turned into a black streak and fled far away.

But from all directions, the sounds of insects echoed.

This creature only sought its own escape, ignoring its mindless peers. It controlled them to surround Lin Xuan tightly.

Even if it meant dying, it would do so to buy time for itself to escape.

No matter how powerful this young Lin was, he couldn't possibly destroy tens of thousands of iron fire ants in an instant. This way, he had a chance to escape.

To be honest, his plan seemed sound. But Lin Xuan wasn’t easily fathomable by ordinary means.

Seeing the iron fire ants surrounding him, Lin Xuan understood their strategy—abandoning pawns to protect the king. He didn't rush to act.

The iron fire ant, in its desperate retreat, occasionally turned around and saw this scene; it felt a sense of relief.

But before that thought could fully form, an instinctive feeling of immense danger struck.

Without time to think, it quickly dodged to one side. A thick black beam pierced through its chest.

Fortunately, as a demon insect, it didn't have a heart. But such an attack had surely left it critically injured.

The insect was both angry and terrified. In that moment, it felt like being in a dream. Why? The enemy wasn’t just Lin Xuan; he had been surrounded by the insects moments ago. How…

With this thought, the insect turned back to see Lin Xuan standing there, using the Hundred Birds Bell to fend off the iron fire ants' relentless attacks.

"Lin Xuan is here, so who attacked me?"

Unfortunately, that idea was just a fleeting one. In a battle between experts, it was foolish to be distracted. Turning around meant inviting death?

The last thing it saw was a face identical to Lin Xuan's, with only a slightly darker complexion. What was this?

This insect could never understand; Lin Xuan’s avatar had extended its hand, and the Illusory Heavenly Fire appeared in his palm.

This time, the Illusory Heavenly Fire was gray and lifeless, completely swallowing the insect.

It vanished into nothingness, with even its three souls and seven spirits thoroughly refined by the demon fire's power.
