第三千一百二十一章 将计就计

The yuanxian was about an inch tall, with features that closely resembled those of the palace-dressed woman. Her eyes were filled with a mix of malice and something else beyond comprehension.

How could this be the result?

After all her efforts to set up this fatal trap, she had become the prey instead of the hunter. There was only one enemy, but who had secretly attacked her from behind?

Time was precious now. According to reason, the yuanxian should leave this dangerous place as quickly as possible. However, the doubts in her heart were like a venomous snake, and if they couldn't be resolved, even if she managed to escape with her life this time, having this mental demon would make it impossible for her cultivation to advance further.

The pros and cons of the situation were clear to the yuanxian, so she turned her head quickly to try to understand what had happened.

However, the scene before her was shocking.

Two Lin Xuan figures appeared. Their features and height were identical, but their skin tones differed; the one standing behind was clearly darker.

"Transformation technique!"

The yuanxian's teeth gritted as she spoke.

At this point, how could she not know that she had been ambushed? She had been too careless.

Originally, her trap had been well hidden. But the opponent was incredibly cunning, turning her own trap against her.

She was both shocked and angry, filled with malice, but understood that now was not the time for rash actions.

Her physical body was gone, so a mere yuanxian could never defeat this small figure. As they say, there's always a way to survive if you have something left. Once she regained her strength, she would find a way to avenge today’s humiliation.

After weighing the pros and cons, the yuanxian made up her mind in an instant. Her form flashed like points of light, vanishing from sight.

This was her life-saving secret technique, its complexity far beyond mere teleportation.

As a渡劫期 cultivator, she had reached a very solid state, unlike ordinary cultivators.

However, even if her plan seemed good, how could Lin Xuan let it succeed?

Releasing a tiger back into the wild would leave behind endless troubles. This was something Lin Xuan understood well. It wasn't out of fear; for a cultivator, having one more enemy was never beneficial.

Since they had already broken their facade, there was no need to spare her life.

A murderous intent flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes as he prepared thoroughly. He didn’t even need to make any moves; just a mental command sufficed.

Suddenly, a clear sound echoed, and the phoenix under his feet spread its wings, releasing an overwhelming force of法则之力.

Space Law!

It swept across the area within a hundred miles, causing ripples in the void.

Lin Xuan did not know what secret technique the yuanxian was using to save herself. But since she wanted to escape quickly, it must be tied to Space Law.

This was beyond doubt; after all, both were渡劫期 cultivators!

Though ordinary cultivators of this early stage couldn't comprehend the laws of space, they could still cast some basic spatial techniques with their powerful cultivation.

If another opponent had faced her, perhaps the yuanxian would have escaped. But the phoenix excelled in Space Law; even though the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword hadn’t produced a true bird king, its space law was far superior to what this woman had managed to grasp.

In other words, breaking through her secret technique wasn't difficult at all.

Sure enough, as the rule of law spread, the yuanxian appeared, looking terrified. She wouldn’t sit and wait for death; she tried to dodge with both hands.

But in the next moment, her expression changed dramatically.

The air around her became solid, like a copper wall or iron barrier—clearly another effect of Space Law.

Such a technique was insufficient to trap a cultivator at the early渡劫 stage. But she didn’t have time to waste here.

In高手对决, every millisecond counted. This instant restraint was enough for Lin Xuan to kill her countless times over.

The phoenix spread its wings, and flames engulfed the sky, swallowing her in an instant.

"Senior Brother, save me!"

The yuanxian’s face turned pale as she screamed loudly. Although it might be embarrassing in front of junior disciples, with her life at stake, such embarrassment was irrelevant.

This woman had reached a state of extreme panic but failed to realize that calling for help was pointless.

Lin Xuan's plan worked well, turning the situation around, but the response of a渡劫期 cultivator couldn’t be slow.

They lost in both strategy and strength, but seeing his beloved wife fall, how could he remain unmoved?

He was practically blinded with rage.

So her call for help was unnecessary. The green-robed man lunged forward with a fierce expression.

How could he let his beloved wife die here!

His reaction was swift.

But Lin Xuan’s move was even faster.

He blocked the attack, outpacing him slightly.

This was because Lin Xuan had used teleportation; the space law driven by the phoenix from the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword wouldn’t affect its master.

He arrived first and stood in front of his opponent. The yuanxian was nearly consumed by the flames behind him.

"Move aside!"

The green-robed man couldn't stand idly by, shouting loudly as he slashed with a divine sword, releasing an immensely powerful attack.

This sword’s power was shocking, filled with formidable spiritual energy. Clearly, seeing his partner in danger, this man had resolved to fight to the death.

His attack was indeed formidable, but Lin Xuan showed no sign of retreating.

Now was the perfect time to defeat him; a rare opportunity. There was no reason to hesitate or retreat.

Even if he were angry, he was still an early渡劫 cultivator. With his profound spiritual energy, could he really be afraid?

Seeing that sword fly towards him, Lin Xuan didn’t retreat. He also wouldn't face it with bare hands; instead, he summoned a treasure.

A fiery ring flew out.

In an instant, it transformed into the size of a pavilion. Although not a先天宝物, this Vermilion Bird Ring was no less powerful than Ten Thousand Swords Diagram for dealing with an early渡劫 cultivator.

Lin Xuan’s hands moved like butterflies as he channeled spells. A divine bird appeared, its long feathers glowing.

Vermilion Bird!

With one flap of its wings, flames spread across the sky. The bird closed its wings, and a giant flaming sword emerged, slicing down from above!
