第三百四十七章 神妙遁术

However, Lin Xuan's composure was such that he remained unperturbed despite the situation. With a light wave of his sleeve, a green spell flew out and recalled the Captive Immortal Ball. Then, with a slight movement of his divine sense, the Drifting Cloud Falling Snow Sword transformed into a streak of snow-white lightning, slicing towards the opponent.

The demon sneered, showing no intention to dodge. With a flip of his right hand, he met the sword head-on.

Sizzle...

A sound that made teeth ache echoed as the Drifting Cloud Falling Snow Sword was actually sliced back. Lin Xuan's expression darkened as he saw a shallow crack appear on the surface of the immortal sword.

The demon's bone knife was evidently sharp to this degree.

He had used an ancient treasure left behind by a wizened old monster at the peak stage, and if it were a regular condensation core cultivator's artifact, it would likely be rendered useless. Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel alarmed as he thought about it.

Without hesitation, he retracted the Drifting Cloud Falling Snow Sword into his storage bag. Although this ancient treasure could勉强match the demon in battle, any damage sustained afterward would certainly not be trivial. Such a clearly unprofitable transaction was something Lin Xuan wouldn't engage in. He needed to find another way to defeat the demon.

Just as he was about to take action, the demon suddenly vanished before his eyes.

Not... disappeared, but moved too fast for his eyes to follow.

Lin Xuan was alarmed and quickly dodged. A flash of white light appeared where he had been standing. Had he been a moment later, he would have been split in two by the attack.

Seeing Lin Xuan dodge his strike, the demon's eyes showed surprise before being replaced with an even colder murderous intent as it lunged at him again.

Lin Xuan wouldn't sit idly by. While dodging erratically, he injected mana into the Soul Capturing Mirror and continuously spat out fist-sized light orbs from the ancient treasure. However, the demon's speed was too fast for his eyes or divine sense to lock onto, rendering the Soul Capturing Mirror's abilities ineffective.

Lin Xuan's expression remained calm, but his heart was filled with sighs. He hadn't expected the demon to be so tenacious.

It was said that demons who used demonic transformation would see their magical power and realm skyrocket in a short time, often acquiring some special abilities.

The speed of this demon compared to before was like night and day. Although it didn't reach the level of instant teleportation, it was still causing him headaches.

Suddenly, a faint shadow appeared before him.

Lin Xuan was alarmed, realizing he had no time to dodge. A massive force struck his body as the demon's bone knife hit him.

Fortunately, the Idle Fan was sentient and flew out on its own to shield him.

The demon's attack failed, and it grew more frenzied. With a swift swing of its blade, it slashed three times, causing the Idle Fan to emit a mournful cry before splitting in two. Lin Xuan took this opportunity to retreat far away.

"Brat, you're done. Why do you persist like this?"

The demon's form flickered as it chased after him relentlessly. However, he had forgotten that he wasn't facing just Lin Xuan alone.

Seeing Young Master in danger, Yue'er wouldn't stand idly by. Opening her mouth, she sprayed a ball of qi into the small talisman in her hand.

The Beast Soul Talisman emitted black light as countless ghost mists poured out with eerie winds.

Yue'er's expression grew more serious as she extended her tiny hand and cast several spells. The demon flag slowly floated up.

"Quickly!"

With a flick of her jade finger, several colorful spells entered the demon flag, causing the ghost mists to surge and emit loud hisses. Countless venomous snakes emerged from within.

"What is this?"

The demon's bone knife swung repeatedly, chopping off many snakes with each strike. However, once they fell, they quickly reverted to ghost mists and returned to the demon flag.

As long as Yue'er didn't exhaust her mana, more venomous snakes would continuously appear.

The demon's arrogance was temporarily halted.

Lin Xuan was pleased. He hadn't expected the combination of the Profound Yin True Scripture and the Beast Soul Talisman to effectively counter the demon.

With Yue'er distracting him, he could now cast spells calmly.

After a moment's thought, Lin Xuan re-summoned the Drifting Cloud Falling Snow Sword. Although its durability was slightly inferior compared to the demon's bone knife, it was still an artifact with special abilities.

Several spells were injected as the sword emitted a clear ringing sound and began to tremble. Snowflakes appeared in the air, and temperatures plummeted sharply.

The name of this sword wasn't chosen at random; it had formidable water attribute attacks.

However, that was just the beginning.

Lin Xuan tapped his storage bag and took out a palm-sized spirit talisman but didn't summon it. Instead, he unexpectedly affixed it to his chest.

After a flash of light, the spirit vanished.

This action surprised the demon, who temporarily focused on dealing with Yue'er's venomous snakes while still keeping an eye on Lin Xuan.

After all, this young man was their main adversary. Although the ghost maiden was also at the condensation core stage, her cultivation was clearly inferior to his.

Lin Xuan's actions weren't baseless; this spirit talisman had a significant origin. He bought it from Senior Immortal Dry Wood when he went to the Heavenly Eye Sect for a high price—two thousand crystal stones.

Although it was a mid-grade spirit talisman, the price was still excessively high.

However, Lin Xuan wasn't about to be cheated. He was willing to spend heavily because this "Instant千里" spirit talisman had a remarkable origin. The Heavenly Eye Sect's other abilities aside, its speed was unparalleled, and Instant千里 was one of its most mysterious techniques.

Lin Xuan originally bought the spirit talisman as a means of self-preservation.

Now, it could still be put to use. Even if he didn't use it for escape, applying this spell would significantly increase his speed.

Even if he couldn't keep up with the demon, it would greatly alleviate the passive situation.

Several flashes of white light appeared as the demon swept away the venomous snakes before him and broke free from the ghost mists.

Lin Xuan coldly glanced at the demon. His mana circulated within, causing his figure to blur.

"Hmm?"

The demon's expression showed surprise when its attack missed. The other had such swift evasive abilities... Could it be that spirit talisman?

His thoughts were quick, but he didn't have time during combat to dwell on them. He noticed the air flow on his left was abnormal and turned back just in time to see an extremely bright sword light.

The demon was shocked and quickly raised its bone knife to block. Although surprised, it didn't take Lin Xuan's ancient treasure seriously. However, upon impact, its eyes widened in shock: "This...?"
