第三千七百六十七章 猪妖

Now, Master Nai Long faced a predicament. His life and death were uncertain. If he continued traveling with the two women, they would also be dragged into danger.

This situation was something Lin Xuan was unwilling to see happen.

A man of valor should take responsibility for his actions. Back then when he purchased those two final-grade treasures, Lin Xuan had already anticipated such a scenario.

Indeed, as expected, the path ahead would be perilous and treacherous.

Lin Xuan did not want Dream Like Saffron or Fairy Hundred Flowers to get involved in trouble. After all, back then, the benefits were his, so now he should have the courage to face any danger that came their way. It was both reasonable and emotional; he shouldn't drag his sisters into this mess.

After much contemplation, Lin Xuan made a decision. While it would increase the risk of encountering danger alone, these challenges were what he had to face.

Lin Xuan was a man of responsibility, never lacking in courage, always taking care of his friends and family.

His遁光 (transcendent light) sped up quickly, covering tens of thousands of miles within just a short time. During this process, he kept changing directions, feeling slightly regretful. A hundred precautions could be taken for one oversight; if he had known this would happen, he should have found a way to purchase some random teleportation talismans. This would easily allow him to turn danger into safety.

Of course, it was too late to regret now. Lin Xuan could only fully accelerate his speed, hoping to escape those scheming old fellows.

In no time, another short while passed. When the遁光 (transcendent light) swept over an unremarkable mountain peak, Lin Xuan suddenly narrowed his eyes and stopped the light without any warning.

He then turned around and looked towards a certain direction where there was nothing: "If you've come here, why hide? If you want to covet my treasures, just come out and fight."

"Friend, you are quite straightforward. I am hiding for no reason," came a deep voice.

A figure of a pig-faced demon appeared in front with a large mace in one hand.

He was over ten feet tall, robustly built, with a pig's head and human body.

Late-stage Transcendation!

Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed. The thick aura around the demon indicated that he wasn't just an ordinary late-stage demon.

But he didn’t seem to be a domain powerhouse either.

Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief but also felt curious. He had never seen this pig-faced demon at the Peach Blossom Banquet, otherwise, he would have remembered him.

Why would such a creature come here to intercept him?

For now, Lin Xuan couldn’t figure it out and didn't want to overthink it. Instead, he spoke up: "I have no grudge with you; I advise you not to risk your life for trivial gains. Let’s shake on it and pretend we’ve never met. What do you think?"

"Shake hands? Sure," the pig-faced demon smiled.

He revealed his sharp fangs as he said, "As long as you hand over the two treasures you obtained at the Peach Blossom Banquet, there will be no problem."

"Oh! Well, if you insist on being stubborn..."

Lin Xuan’s face showed signs of impatience. He didn’t have time to dawdle here; otherwise, more powerful enemies would continue chasing him.

The immediate priority was to quickly resolve this matter and eliminate the threat.

A look of ferocity flashed in his eyes as he charged forward with incredible speed. The distance between them was over a hundred feet, but Lin Xuan crossed it in a single step.

Spatial Law!

Lin Xuan didn’t claim deep understanding, but such a short distance posed no difficulty or hindrance to him.

"You..."

Lin Xuan attacked without hesitation and with such an outrageous move that the pig-faced demon was shocked. Without thinking further, he swung his mace at Lin Xuan.

Screams echoed as the void was torn apart, countless shadowy images of the mace appeared, carrying a forceful impact, like a whirlwind sweeping away clouds, covering this land.

Despite the suddenness, his move still carried immense power. He was indeed a late-stage demon. This wasn’t over yet; with a single mouthful, he spat out a purple-red flame.

Burning fiercely, it turned into a wall of fire, shielding Lin Xuan from the attack.

The entire process was swift and fluid. The demon seemed clumsy but moved with incredible agility, combining offense and defense. Lin Xuan suddenly found himself in danger.

First came the countless mace shadows, covering this land, leaving no room for Lin Xuan to dodge.

However, he showed no fear; his figure flickered, vanishing from sight.

"How is that possible?"

The pig-faced demon was shocked as his attack missed its target. Without hesitation, he swept his sleeve and a dagger-like short sword flew out of it.

A burst of demonic wind appeared, transforming into two monstrous snakes.

He coiled his body to protect himself with the snakes around him.

This creature reacted swiftly; Lin Xuan’s figure appeared behind him.

With a slight shake of his shoulder, golden light flashed.

Nine Palace Swift Sword appeared in his vision.

Like a sudden storm, it charged forward.

Clang! Clang!

Sounds echoed as scales appeared on the surface of the giant snake. These scales were thin but adorned with intricate patterns, indicating their non-trivial nature.

As the sword approached, an unbelievable scene unfolded; the scales actually detached from the giant snake’s body.

Each scale transformed into a shield, densely covering the front, creating layers upon layers, like performing magic tricks.

Lin Xuan saw it clearly, showing no surprise. A green aura shot out of his mouth and was quickly absorbed by the immortal sword.

"Quickly!"

Lin Xuan pointed forward with one finger.

As he moved, a layer of light flames appeared on the surface of Nine Palace Swift Sword, colorful like rainbow glass—of course, they were Illusory Spirit Heaven Flames.

He combined them with Nine Palace Swift Sword.

Sss...

The sound of breaking air was loud. Although the shields were sturdy, how could they withstand Lin Xuan’s own life-imbued treasure combined with Illusory Spirit Heaven Flames? They shattered one by one.

"How is that possible?" The pig-faced demon was shocked. Before he could recover, the snake without scales was cut into pieces by Nine Palace Swift Sword.

The purple-red flames were useless; they couldn’t stop Lin Xuan. Nine Palace Swift Sword passed through them as if nothing happened.

This wasn’t over yet. Lin Xuan took a deep breath and shouted, delivering a punch forward.

Law of Force!

Lin Xuan was not the kind to hesitate or hold back. Once he acted, there would be no holding back.
