第三千零六十二章 虚虚实实

One wrong move could cost everything. Don't underestimate the benefits of an unexpected gain; in a battle between experts, such gains can often decide the outcome.

He wasn’t unfamiliar with similar experiences before, but this little fellow was no pushover. He had easily exposed Lin Xuan’s identity.

The域外夭魔 seemed somewhat surprised as well.

However, his surprise didn't last long on his face; it quickly turned into a sneer.

Recognizing him meant nothing. A mere cultivator at the初级渡劫 stage—could he possibly be an opponent?

With a flick of his sleeves, a thick bolt of lightning emerged from his palm, black in color, transforming into a snake and lunging forward. The golden shield seemed to crumble like paper, disintegrating instantly.

Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted as the entire process was swift, but he could see every detail clearly.

The golden shield had formidable defensive capabilities; even if he were in that position, he might be able to break it, but whether he could do so effortlessly remained uncertain.

Indeed, this域外夭魔 was no ordinary foe!

This guy seemed much more powerful than the 夭魔 he encountered in the 冰海界.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan had already advanced to the初级渡劫 stage. However, his opponent was still a formidable adversary.

Lin Xuan didn’t consider retreating; if someone came looking for him here, it meant ill intent.

While he had an 80% chance of escaping, that wasn't in line with his nature. He couldn’t just give up on a prize so close to hand because of this minor setback.

Moreover, while the域外夭魔 was indeed strong, Lin Xuan was no weakling either. Whether they would win or lose if they faced each other remained uncertain at this point.

Seeing that the禁制 had been broken, Lin Xuan wasn’t idle.

With a wave of his sleeves, a fiery sword flew out.

A flash of light brought forth a shower of flames, slicing down towards the opponent’s head.

Since coming here, he clearly didn’t intend to chat. Better to strike first and gain an advantage.

Swoosh… Although not his本命宝物, this仙剑 was still of decent quality, as it had been stored in his储物袋.

In a moment, red light filled the air as flames and swordlight clashed, almost instantly engulfing the hair-covered cultivator.

“Showboating before the master!”

The opponent’s face showed a hint of mockery.

Seeing the仙剑 descending upon him, he didn’t dodge but lifted his head, spitting out a black beam from his mouth.

Lin Xuan saw that it was merely dark energy, though it seemed different from ancient demons’ energy.

Without time to distinguish, the black beam transformed into a long black saber.

A clash echoed as the black saber sliced through the red仙剑. The red sword emitted a mournful sound before breaking and turning into ordinary metal.

The flames, though impressive, were ignored by the域外夭魔.

He swallowed them whole, even burping contentedly: "Not bad."

"Really?"

Despite his technique being broken, Lin Xuan showed no surprise, even asking casually.

Then, a piercing sound filled the air. Lin Xuan was still standing in place, but the hair-covered cultivator’s side shimmered strangely. Silver light appeared as dozens of仙剑 emerged like a storm, slashing towards him.

A sword should be used where it matters. The red仙剑 had both tested and distracted him.

Lin Xuan had more tricks up his sleeve, but this域外夭魔 was much more aggressive than he expected.

Perhaps he didn’t take Lin Xuan seriously; in any case, he fell into the trap Lin Xuan had set.

No need for courtesy. Lin Xuan launched a flurry of attacks.

Nine Palaces Instantly!

Lin Xuan immediately used his ultimate technique, hoping to defeat the enemy with one strike.

Even if that failed, causing significant damage was still acceptable.

Combining strategy and strength, Lin Xuan believed his trap was well-designed.

Using an avatar to draw attention while the main body attacked from the side.

When he realized the true attack, it was only a few paces away.

At such close range, Lin Xuan didn’t believe he could avoid the仙剑’s encirclement.

Lin Xuan's trap was flawless. However, the域外夭魔’s reputation wasn’t easily dealt with.

Even if he was careless momentarily, and faced an incredibly dangerous situation now, his expression remained merely surprised.

Surprised, but not panicking. The silver light enveloped him; in a moment, this guy would be cut into pieces by the swords.

He didn’t dodge!

Lin Xuan’s face showed surprise.

According to his prediction, even if the opponent couldn’t avoid it, they should have taken some action.

After all, at their level, no one should give up without fighting back. But this guy defied expectations.

Lin Xuan was still in shock but didn’t hesitate.

If he could kill the enemy now, that would be perfect. Self-inflicted suffering meant self-inflicted death. Although he felt things wouldn’t be as easy as they seemed, there was no time to think anymore.

The entire process took just a moment. Swoosh! The Nine Palaces Instantly swords pierced through and struck him hard.

No effect!

Lin Xuan almost doubted his eyes.

He saw clearly that all the仙剑 had hit their target but caused no harm.

How could this be?

With extensive experience in magical battles, such an event was unheard of.

Reacting quickly, he emitted a green glow, flying off to the side.

He had planned for this scenario, but now it seemed like his worst fears were realized.

However, something unexpected happened. The opponent successfully deflected Lin Xuan’s attack without pursuing; instead, he hovered there, his expression bizarrely strange.
