第三千一百一十三章 蛟龙

Zhuruo indeed proved formidable!

Moreover, the one before them was merely Zhuruo's soul.

One could imagine how powerful it would be if the true spirit were to appear in person! Lin Xuan felt a shock of surprise. The elders from Sword Lake Palace at a distance had their eyes wide with astonishment.

Even that old man with an air of immortality and asceticism no longer wore a calm expression on his face.

He must have underestimated this fellow.

A Transcendence Period cultivator was not to be trifled with; he actually brought out such treasures.

Could theremnants of a primordial treasure (Inherently Imperfect Treasure) combined with the sect's protective array truly eliminate this young man?

The old man's mind first harbored doubts, but quickly, a look of ruthless determination flashed across his eyes as he forcefully suppressed these uneasy thoughts.

Although he was only at the Spirit Cultivation Stage, since he had accepted the position of Sect Leader, he was now the backbone for everyone present. If he showed signs of panic, Sword Lake Palace might truly face total defeat this time.

If he knew Cloud Concealment Sect possessed such terrifying monsters, he would never have schemed to plot that Spirit Eye Lake.

Surely, greed had brought trouble!

However, with things as they were, what use was regret?

Once an arrow is shot, there's no turning back. What he could do now was try his best to eliminate Lin Xuan.

Fortunately, his two senior cousins seemed close to mastering their secret techniques and might arrive sooner rather than later.

Otherwise, fortune or misfortune, the sect might indeed face a difficult predicament this time.

The old man sighed inwardly.

On another side, the battle had reached its critical juncture.

Nine Palaces Sword Technique moved about freely, but could only block the incoming sword lights from all sides. As for the terrifying Five Elements Sword Qi, Zhuruo's Ring alone could handle it.

Would it truly be able to withstand them?

Though the Ten Thousand Swords Diagram was a flawedprimordial object (Primordial Treasure), with the aid of array power, its original strength had been fully unleashed.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan simultaneously controlled two treasures, dividing his attention between both.

The balance between their strengths and weaknesses was hard to determine.

Lin Xuan wasn't particularly concerned about it now. Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, countless storms and trials had tested him. What was this small difficulty compared to those?

Besides, he might not lose.

No trace of fear showed on Lin Xuan's face as spell after spell flowed from his fingertips.

A clear ringing sound echoed; Zhuruo flapped its wings, and countless feathers appeared in mid-air, igniting the entire sky. Accompanying this was a dense release ofpower of the law (Lawful Power) centered around it.

Indeed, the power of the heavens and earth, the force of flames had been driven to their limit.

Phoenixes belong to fire, as do Zhuruos. If the king of all birds were here, Zhuruo would have no choice but to submit. Since there was no phoenix present, Zhuruo could command the flame's laws.

Compared to the five elements' powerful forces, it seemed somewhat thin.

But what did that matter? The laws of heaven and earth weren't about quantity; even a single law, if wielded with mastery, could still outwit brute force.

The sky twisted. Terrifying Lawful Power permeated everywhere as sword qi clashed with flames.

Vortexes emerged, powerful gales shattering the light. Flames and sword lights devoured each other, obscuring Zhuruo's form.

But this was only the beginning. The stalemate soon broke when a clear ringing sound shattered the balance. A bright, long-feathered Zhuruo appeared amidst the flashing light.

Its sharp claws clamped down, tearing apart the fierce sword qi as it moved.

The advantage shifted to flames, which now dominated the entire sky, turning it red. The flame's laws clearly gained an upper hand over the five elements' forces, devouring and merging in the void.

Lin Xuan exhaled with relief.

Though this strike was perilous, he had won.

Next, Lin Xuan had no hesitation; he continued to break the current array.

As his thoughts raced, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

A fierce wind swept over, and the scattered sword qi suddenly sharpened again.

The five elements' light converged in the center, emitting a dazzling aura that transformed into a fearsome hundred-foot-long dragon.

Boom!

The dragon's terrifying presence pushed Zhuruo to the back foot. The dragon opened its blood-stained maw, spewing out a massive beam of light over ten feet wide.

The dazzling light turned into chains weaving through mid-air, quickly forming a colorful net.

The situation reversed dramatically; what had seemed won now appeared on the verge of defeat.

Lin Xuan's eyebrows knitted. How could he bear to lose? Without any extra movements, a divine thought was sent out.

Zhuruo flapped its wings, and fiery light surged as it converged in the center, producing crescent-shaped wind blades of varying sizes.

The smallest had a diameter of over ten feet, while the largest stretched over twenty feet, radiating an unsettling Lawful Power.

"Go!"

Lin Xuan lightly commanded, and Zhuruo flapped its wings again. A sea of fiery light surged forward, colliding with the net. The blades emitted their own Lawful Power.

However, they merely slowed down before continuing to descend.

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he hurriedly cast another spell.

As his hand moved, Nine Palaces Sword Technique converged in the center, and a dazzling light revealed not sword qi but nine huge lotus flowers floating into view.

"Break!"

Lin Xuan roared, and the lotus flowers spun wildly, releasing countless blade-like energies.

Though lacking in grandeur, each was incredibly sharp.

In the air, countless white streaks appeared as Zhuruo couldn't break this strange spell. How would Nine Palaces Sword Technique fare?

Moreover, the sword qi's shape changed mid-flight, becoming finer and turning into threads. Though unremarkable on the surface, compared to when it emerged from the lotus flowers, they were at least ten times larger.

Soon, countless threads sliced through.

Silent but powerful ripples spread out.

Crack!

Finally, a crack appeared in the net transformed from chains. Once a breach was made, Zhuruo's Ring and Nine Palaces Sword Technique could no longer be stopped together.

The sound of shattering echoed as the formidable net disintegrated.

A look of fear appeared on the dragon's face; it swished its tail to flee.

However, that wasn't easy. Lin Xuan pointed his right hand, and the sword threads converged in the center, forming another chain. Moving incredibly fast, they ensnared the dragon.
