第三千二百四十七章 尚未脱险

The situation was dire, with the possibility of a sudden collapse at any moment. The sweat on her forehead dripped like beans as she unleashed all her abilities to flee.

Yet, Miao Yin's combat experience was also rich; how could she miss such an opportunity? Her attacks became even more urgent, leaving no breathing room for the female demon.

The black phoenix demon’s situation grew increasingly unfavorable. Meanwhile, a stroke of bad luck struck—Blood Moon Demon Toad had already eliminated its opponent.

It slowly turned its head, with a fierce light in its eyes, and an alarming aura emanated from its massive body. It seemed to move its mouth, causing the space around it to blur. A long, rope-like thing sliced through the sky.

No, that wasn't a rope; it was Blood Moon Demon Toad's tongue. As it extended and retracted, it grew to over a thousand feet in length, like a sword, piercing towards her head with deadly intent.

The action of a toad extending its tongue bore some resemblance to how frogs catch insects, but the power behind it was incomparable. This attack contained法则力量 (force of law).

The timing was perfect; even at full strength, the black phoenix demon might not be able to withstand it.

With her current dire situation, what could she do?

Desperation clouded her expression as she rolled in mid-air, emitting a brilliant aura. A dozen-foot-high black flame shot up into the sky.

A black phoenix several feet long emerged from the flames, spreading its wings and letting out a nine-heavenly cry.

Suddenly, intense fluctuations appeared before her. The nearby void collapsed and twisted, revealing a white hole.

The black phoenix毫不犹豫地一头扎了进去,顿时踪迹全无。

This was spatial secret technique. The black phoenix lineage also inherited the true spirit celestial phoenix's bloodline, allowing them to naturally cast some spatial abilities.

Used here, it was perfect; she dodged Blood Moon Demon Toad’s fatal strike.

While this could be considered a rebirth from the brink of death, saying that all danger had passed would be premature. The situation hadn’t ended yet. Miao Yin’s golden musical notes transformed into swords and flew towards an empty space.

The surprise was palpable; there was nothing at the location where her attack struck. However, the mystery quickly unraveled as a burst of anger echoed, and the void where the sword pointed began to ripple like a small lake after a stone had been thrown in.

A phoenix emerged, and the sword had already reached within a dozen feet of her.

Preemptive strike!

Miao Yin had anticipated the opponent’s spatial technique and launched an attack. The timing was perfect; there was no way for the demon to dodge it.

Despair flashed across the black phoenix demon's eyes.

But just then, a piercing sound echoed as silver light flickered, several sword beams intercepting Miao Yin’s attacks.

A hair’s breadth away from disaster, she narrowly escaped danger. The entire process, though complex, took only an instant. The peril was beyond words to describe.

Black light flashed, and the phoenix vanished. Xiao Fairy's face reappeared, still showing signs of shock from nearly perishing. Her gaze towards Lin Xuan now carried more gratitude.

"Friend Daoist Lin, what should we do now?"

Though also a cultivator at the渡劫 (transcending tribulation) stage, after that scene, she clearly understood the gap between her and Lin Xuan's strength. Facing such an opponent, she decided to follow his lead.

"We'll handle it as it comes," Lin Xuan said coldly.

"Really?"

The black phoenix demon’s face showed hesitation. She had already used all her abilities; continuing this would likely result in her demise here. This was not a scenario she wished to face.

However, what Lin Xuan suggested made sense, and she had no other good ideas. Refusing him was impossible.

Caught between two difficult choices, her expression was grim.

"Rest assured, Fairy Xiao, I won't let you fight alone. I will help."

Lin Xuan's intelligence allowed him to read her expression, knowing she was considering retreating. The current enemy wasn’t something he could handle alone; thus, he needed Xiao Fairy’s assistance.

"Help me?"

The black phoenix demon’s face showed surprise. Before she could ask more, Lin Xuan’s body emitted a flash of light, and another Lin Xuan appeared beside him.

They looked identical except for the slightly darker skin tone on one.

"This is an external manifestation."

As a渡劫 (transcending tribulation) cultivator, Xiao Fairy recognized it immediately.

"Please use your power to stall Blood Moon Demon Toad. I will assist with my manifestation. As for Miao Yin, leave that to me," Lin Xuan instructed.

"Still..."

She hesitated; while Lin Xuan proposed using his manifestation, an intermediate realm entity was still far weaker than the original.

If she faced Miao Yin, it might buy some time, but Blood Moon Demon Toad was clearly more formidable...

But she understood why Lin Xuan had arranged this. Only in such a way could they hope to turn danger into safety.

After considering all possibilities, she decided: "Very well, I will do my best to stall. How long I can hold them off is unclear..."

Satisfied with her response, Lin Xuan didn’t say more and rushed towards Miao Yin.

Miao Yin’s expression was terrible; she never imagined that Old Stone would be eliminated by Lin Xuan. As a senior elder of the Celestial Sound Palace, her vision far exceeded ordinary cultivators. She now knew Lin Xuan's strength was formidable.

She should have known better than to invite him for treasure hunting.

But it was too late now. In both secular and spiritual worlds, there were no regrets in making such decisions.

Well, could a mere initial existence really defeat this intermediate one?
