第三千六百六十八章 仙剑神威

Lin Xuan's palm was abnormally large, almost like a small mountain. The surface of his arm was covered in layer upon layer of scales, resembling snake scales.

"Hahaha…"

A strange laugh echoed as his right hand suddenly descended with great force and precision.

The five-colored peacock had nowhere to run; it seemed to have fallen into a trap, being forcefully grabbed and crushed with a loud 'bang'.

"Eh!"

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. Such strength was beyond the capabilities of even late-stage Golden Pillar cultivators.

However, this individual clearly wasn't practicing physical cultivation techniques. Could he be something other than an ordinary human cultivator, perhaps carrying on some bloodline from the妖族 (Yao Clan)?

This seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.

"Hahaha."

Seeing his hand, Venerable Master Thunder Snake's face showed arrogance and joy.

But it was too early for such celebration. Lin Xuan's expression remained unchanged as he swiftly extended a finger forward.

A burst of five-colored spiritual light erupted, and a thin crystal filament emerged from within, transforming into an ethereal sword thinner than a cicada's wing under the wind.

Spatial ripples surged, and this sword vanished from its original position before reappearing at Venerable Master Thunder Snake's heart.

Boom!

The five-colored spiritual light was blinding as it pierced through the old monster’s chest.

Even late-stage cultivators couldn't survive if their hearts were torn to pieces; at least their physical bodies would be completely destroyed, and even if their元婴 (yuan xing) managed to escape, a mere yuan xing body could still be easily dealt with.

Lin Xuan was confident.

Moreover, the Venerable Master Thunder Snake before him was only mid-stage Golden Pillar.

However, his thoughts were interrupted as Lin Xuan suddenly widened his eyes.

The five-colored peacock, whose heart had been pierced, did not succumb to death as expected; its yuan xing also didn't emerge from its crown.

Instead, it became hazy and enveloped in thick妖气 (ya qi).

Thud, thud…

The sound of the heart beating echoed loudly, like a drum.

And this heartbeat was coming from his right chest cavity.

How could that be? Could this guy actually have two hearts?

Lin Xuan confirmed that his previous strike had indeed pierced one of the old monster's hearts. However, it hadn't achieved its intended effect; cultivators in the cultivation world were indeed unpredictable.

With a sigh, Lin Xuan continued his actions without pause, fingers dancing rapidly as spell after spell was cast like butterflies through the air.

Zzzz…

A loud piercing sound echoed, akin to a venomous snake's tongue flick. Soon, sharp red rays shot out from the front.

Clang, clang, clang…

The sounds of collisions were like raindrops hitting banana leaves, dense and numerous as if countless hooves trampled over a plain.

Those silver sword threads had been intercepted mid-air by someone.

Lin Xuan was taken aback, his eyes narrowing. Silver light suddenly flashed at the bottom of his pupils before he could see that these red rays were actually inch-long purple-red snake scales with extremely sharp edges—no less formidable than swords or spears. Wrapped in thick妖气 (ya qi), they could rival his ability to transform swords into threads.

A true master lives up to their reputation; this Venerable Master Thunder Snake was indeed beyond normal reasoning.

But Lin Xuan didn't have time for such a prolonged battle.

Before he could think further, an extremely eerie howl echoed. Turning his head, Lin Xuan saw the Venerable Master Thunder Snake reveal its true form, having transformed into a妖 (ya) creature.

Its eyes turned emerald green, and countless fine red scales grew all over its body. Its mouth expanded to twice its size, enveloping most of its face.

As it opened its mouth, a thin tongue flicked in and out.

The entire body was covered in a faint layer of妖气 (ya qi).

It looked like a transformed snake demon. This guy indeed carried some bloodline from the妖族 (Yao Clan).

Lin Xuan sighed, his expression darkening. Delaying any longer would only be to his detriment; he had to swiftly deal with this monster.

With thoughts racing, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated.

Flinging his sleeves, Nine Palaces Musty Sword appeared.

Although Lin Xuan had used the Nine Palaces Musty Sword earlier, he hadn't truly employed its full power. He wasn't hiding but found that a mere mid-stage Golden Pillar cultivator was more challenging than anticipated.

Time was of the essence; there was no time to hold back. Finally, he unleashed his killing move.

Rain of sword light fell, each blade as thin as a cicada's wing and emitting an intimidating aura. Like celestial flowers scattering, they enveloped the enemy from all sides. Venerable Master Thunder Snake's face showed signs of fear for the first time.

A true expert can tell at a glance; he felt immense danger.

The Nine Palaces Musty Sword brought him unimaginable pressure, as if he could fall here at any moment.

Venerable Master Thunder Snake's expression was grim. However, he couldn't sit idly by.

His fiery hair turned into colorful snakes that flailed wildly, emitting light beams in his cries of defiance.

No, these weren't light beams; the snakes were actually spitting out their fangs as weapons.

Clang, clang, clang…

The sounds of collisions had no effect this time.

Lin Xuan had already advanced to late-stage Golden Pillar, and the power of Nine Palaces Musty Sword far surpassed ordinary treasures.

Those fangs seemed formidable but instantly melted away upon contact with the仙剑 (xian jian). The process was so smooth it could be called unstoppable.

The fangs failed to provide any resistance. Thousands of swords now surrounded Venerable Master Thunder Snake, trapping him and sealing his fate.
