第两千九百六十七章 决胜负

And with a glance, he could see the difference.

"Originally, you are not an immortal cultivator."

"Haha, your eyesight is indeed impressive. However, it's too late to realize this now, don't you think?"

The mocking voice of the Tower Sovereign entered his ears as a faint layer of demonic aura began to permeate his body, though not very thick. His identity was already clear.

A primordial demon!

Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed with scrutiny: "From your words, it seems you knew that this先天灵宝originated from the Moon Illusion Poison beforehand. Could you have come here before?"

"Your questions are endless. A dying person like me has no need for such intense curiosity. If you're wise, submit and suffer less. Otherwise..."

The threat in his voice made Lin Xuan laugh instead of getting angry: "You, a primordial demon at the One-Pointed Mind realm, dare to make such bold claims. Strength determines victory or defeat; we must fight to know. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine. I'll capture and torture you later to find out on my own."

Lin Xuan wasn't just spouting nonsense. With his current strength, he could easily subdue anyone of the same realm—whether human, primordial demon, yin spirit, or ghostly creature; none posed any real threat.

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xuan acted.

He flicked his sleeves and emitted silver light, not a powerful technique but several sword qi that darted forward towards the front.

Though it seemed casual, its power was formidable. The Nine Palaces Musty Sword was no joke; the sword qi Lin Xuan released was as effective as those from other cultivators of the same realm.

This move served both an attacking and probing purpose. He intended to capture this opponent alive.

"You..."

Lin Xuan attacked without any warning, provoking the Tower Sovereign's ire. Red light flashed in his eyes, hinting at madness.

He raised his fists and lightly tapped them together before his chest.

Boom!

As he moved, black light surged, enveloping his fists in a dark flame.

With a swift movement, he clashed with the brilliant sword qi, delivering several punches.

His movements were simple yet effective; no flashy techniques. Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as if he had seen something remarkable about these two punches.

Indeed, when the punch wind and sword qi collided, they dissipated.

Lin Xuan's expression turned genuinely surprised. His move was a probe, but it still held considerable power. The opponent managed to block it effortlessly with just his bare fists, without relying on any treasures.

This guy proved even more troublesome than expected.

The thought flashed through his mind, but Lin Xuan didn't take it seriously.

How troublesome? He had already killed several old monsters at the Tribulation realm, and this one was merely a One-Pointed Mind existence. What could he do?

In essence, he considered them mere ants in comparison!

To be honest, Lin Xuan's self-assurance was somewhat arrogant. But he indeed possessed the strength of an old monster at the Tribulation realm. Facing a One-Pointed Mind primordial demon here wasn't about being cautious; it was sheer foolishness.

Lin Xuan certainly didn't act like that fool. He had no intention of wasting time with this opponent, capturing him alive and extracting his soul to reveal all doubts.

Action followed thought as Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves, producing a clear ringing sound. Dozens of bright silver swords emerged from his sleeves, forming a swirling sword light in front of him.

This time, he wasn't using sword qi but the essence of the Nine Palaces Musty Sword itself.

Its sharpness was unmatched; even old monsters at the Tribulation realm wouldn't take it lightly. Lin Xuan wondered what this One-Pointed Mind primordial demon could do to block such a formidable treasure.

The appearance of the divine sword changed everything.

A look of shock appeared on the Tower Sovereign's face. Primordial demons were naturally combative, and he had experienced countless trials to reach his current realm. His gaze swept over the sword lights, causing his expression to change dramatically.

However, this was far from the end; in fact, it was just beginning.

Lin Xuan muttered a difficult incantation, raising his right hand and pointing at the front.

"Quickly!"

A spell shot out from his fingertips, shaking all the sword lights. The silver light became even more dazzling as it instantly multiplied into hundreds of identical sword lights swirling before him. The spectacle was not just eye-catching but truly terrifying.

"You... you..."

The Tower Sovereign's mouth tasted bitter; he could feel the power of those sword lights. Even a few might overwhelm him, and with so many, no fancy techniques were needed—just overwhelming attacks to be cut into pieces.

How is that possible?

He was only a One-Pointed Mind cultivator. How could his meager spiritual energy drive such terrifying treasures?

But reality stood before him; questioning it now held no meaning.

With the situation at this point, he had no interest in seeking more treasures; survival was first.

He wouldn't die easily. Dropping his body, countless black auras emerged to protect him. He then reached into his waist and struck several times, revealing multiple treasures with magical light.

These treasures emitted demonic light, transforming into ugly, vicious monsters that blocked the sword lights.

"A螳臂挡车!"

Lin Xuan's lips curled in mockery as the brilliant sword lights cut through these creatures like a storm, reducing them to pieces. The dense black aura had no effect; it shattered and dimmed like ordinary iron.

The sword lights continued unimpeded, entering the black aura.

The thick demonic aura was like paper; it failed to stop anything at this moment.

Cries of pain filled his ears as the primordial demon was cut into pieces by the sword lights. A tiny demonic embryo appeared, frantically trying to escape.

But that wasn't easy. Lin Xuan wouldn't let him go. Today's Lin Xuan was far from his former self; he didn't need the Inverted Sea Spear. With a finger forming a sword in mid-air, he contained a hint of spatial法则, enough to disrupt any teleportation attempts by the opponent.
