第三千零一十三章 一气呵成

Lin Xuan was not satisfied with this outcome. He raised his hand and a few air blades appeared in his vision.

In an instant, they vanished into the colorful light halo.

"Bad luck!"

The Green Beauty Venerable, who happened to be at the center of the light halo, was drenched in cold sweat. Naturally, he did not want to sit idly by waiting for death. However, with the situation so perilous, he had no time to summon his defensive treasures.

In a desperate move, his figure spun rapidly, and countless green mists suddenly rose up, enveloping him. In an instant, the size of several acres, large talisman characters emerged from within, then shifted into shields as big as fish scales, layer upon layer, surrounding him.

The old monster's reaction was swift, but Lin Xuan's punch was far stronger than he anticipated. His protective light almost vanished instantly upon contact. The light halo did not stop there; it expanded and contracted, twisting and squeezing towards him like a vortex.

Sizzle... the sound of breaking continued in his ears as the translucent fish-scale shields shattered.

Clearly, they could not withstand this!

However, even if they couldn't completely block the attack, they at least bought some breathing room.

In the world of cultivation, every millimeter counted. These few seconds might seem insignificant, but they could decide the outcome of a battle in critical moments.

But that was just under normal circumstances.

Could the Green Beauty Venerable still have such an opportunity now?

The answer was clear.

Not only did he not dare to think about winning, he was simply grateful for his life. One misstep and it would be a thousand years of regret. The Green Beauty Venerable's remorse could not be described in words; if he had known this, he wouldn't have provoked Lin Xuan even with the courage of a lion.

This little fellow had just advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage, how could he be so troublesome? He was no less formidable than the incarnation of Ice Spirit Saint Ancestor.

With bitter regret in his mouth, what use did it serve now that he recognized this?

There was no saying "regret" in the cultivation world. All he could do now was try to preserve his life.

A sleeve wave sent a green light flying out from his sleeves, transforming into an ancient green shield, which blocked him.

Puff... In that moment, the air blades had already rushed towards him.

The seemingly thick green ancient shield was sliced in two.

"Bad luck!"

The Green Beauty Venerable's face turned pale as he dodged to one side.

Puff...

A mouthful of blood spewed out. Although he dodged quickly, under Lin Xuan's relentless attacks, even a minor injury could not be avoided.

His original injuries were still unhealed; this was like adding insult to injury.

Lin Xuan saw clearly and did not miss such an opportunity.

Another sleeve wave sent a silver light out of his sleeves as if it had been swimming in the wind. It transformed into a three-foot-long sword, which flashed past Lin Xuan's eyes.

The silver light sliced through the air, appearing beside the Green Beauty Venerable.

This cross over hundreds of feet was far more impressive than teleportation. To achieve this required mastery over spatial laws.

The Green Beauty Venerable was alarmed but could not break free in time.

Silver light fell, and his head was taken by Lin Xuan.

Although Lin Xuan was not a cruel killer, he had never spared his enemies.

Puff!

A dull thud echoed as the Green Beauty Venerable's body exploded into a blood mist. However, Lin Xuan did not look relieved.

The success of this strike was due to the profundity of his divine techniques, but another reason could not be ignored: at the critical moment, the opponent chose to sacrifice his physical form for survival.

Such decisiveness was unexpected by Lin Xuan himself.

A tiny inch-high元婴 appeared in his vision. Its face was full of hatred, but it did not linger; green light enveloped its body as it tried to leave.

Unlike lower-stage cultivators, at the Tribulation Transcending stage, an元婴 could traverse thousands of miles without a physical form. The powers they could wield were formidable.

Against low-grade cultivators, they were incredibly powerful.

But against peers, these advantages were insufficient.

He wasn't Lin Xuan's match just now; fleeing was his best option.

Unfortunately for the Green Beauty Venerable, that was not an option for Lin Xuan.

"Still wanting to run at this time? Fellow Daoist, you are too naive."

Lin Xuan sneered.

The元婴 ignored him and tore its hands apart. A spatial rift appeared before it. Without hesitation, it rolled into the rift like a streak of lightning.

"Such a fellow never cries until he sees his coffin!"

Lin Xuan observed this with his eyes. His sleeves flapped, releasing silver light. The Nine Palaces Must-Use Sword fell like a shower of meteors into his vision.

Raising his right hand, Lin Xuan formed a fist and brought the Nine Palaces Must-Use Sword together. A radiant silver sword appeared in his grasp.

He casually swung it forward.

Sizzle... A silver light resembling a crescent moon emerged from the blade.

In an instant, it followed the元婴 into the spatial rift.

"Ouch!"

A cry of pain echoed as space ripples appeared a thousand feet ahead. The元婴 tumbled out of the rift.

Now, his face showed only panic instead of hatred. He never dreamed that Lin Xuan could break through his escape technique so easily and effortlessly.

This little fellow was too terrifying.

He didn't resemble a new Tribulation Transcending cultivator; even at his peak, he would have no chance against him.

The Green Beauty Venerable was in turmoil, but Lin Xuan did not intend to let him go.

Raising his right hand again, the Nine Palaces Must-Use Sword transformed into streaks of light.

These streaks flashed and vanished. Soon, they appeared above the元婴's head, replaced by threads.

Transforming swords into threads, Lin Xuan was at the peak of his skill. The threads flickered a few times, forming a silver fishing net that fell downward.
