第三千七百七十九章 尔虞我诈

Lin Xuan didn't know why the Treasure Snake had come alone to this place, nor did he know where Ice Spirit had gone. But for him, this was the best opportunity.

He couldn’t allow his two companions to have any second thoughts about their alliance with him.

Thus, a swift and decisive battle was the best choice at this moment.

Lin Xuan never thought of begging or compromising because the Treasure Snake wouldn't let him go easily. After all, in the cultivation world, strength reigned supreme.

With his mind made up, Lin Xuan didn’t hesitate as he flicked his sleeves. A clear ringing sound echoed, and dozens of inch-long flying swords emerged from his sleeves like fish swimming out of water.

As they caught the breeze, a series of one-foot-long flying swords appeared in front of him, swirling around.

Then, with a few incantations, Lin Xuan pointed at the Treasure Snake. A sound akin to phoenixes singing and dragons roaring filled the air as the sword lights trembled, turning into silver beams that instantly split three times, then nine, transforming into hundreds of identical sword lights.

After a slight swirl, the sword energy spread across half the sky, like snowflakes dancing in the wind, waves surging, and swirling mists. The brilliance was dazzling, exuding an overwhelming aura.

The Treasure Snake’s pupils constricted involuntarily. As one of the Nine True Demonic Ancestors, she had seen countless battles. She knew this piece of treasure wasn’t ordinary just by looking at it; it was certainly something not to be underestimated.

As for the other two cultivators, seeing Lin Xuan cleanly and decisively summon hislife-prolonging treasure (life essence treasures), they were also visibly upset.

Their emotions were a mix of joy and worry. The joy came from this unremarkable young man’s formidable strength, which gave them more chances to survive against the Treasure Snake. But their worries stemmed from the fact that despite the dire situation, they still didn’t want to be enemies with the Treasure Snake. They were still considering whether there was any room for negotiation.

But Lin Xuan wouldn't give them time to choose.

With a sharp cry, he formed hand seals, and hundreds of sword lights buzzed into a silver light cloud that surged like a tidal wave towards the Treasure Snake.

The momentum was astonishing!

It stirred the primordial energy in the heavens and earth.

At this moment, the Treasure Snake’s face showed a hint of surprise. An expert could tell at a glance, and she knew Lin Xuan wasn’t ordinary. She had already overestimated his strength as much as possible.

But this sudden attack far exceeded her expectations.

A formidable enemy!

Not like those ordinary late-stage cultivators.

In an instant, the Treasure Snake assessed the situation but showed no fear on her face. At this level, she still couldn't escape.

With a wave of her jade hand, a thunderous sound echoed in their ears as the surrounding demonic energy seemed to be captured by her action.

It danced like a spirit snake!

Then it transformed into spears.

A series of black lightning streaks sliced through the sky, resembling the Nine Palace Instant Sword heading towards them.

Each spear had currents of power surging on its surface, withpower of the law (rule of law power) faintly visible.

The Treasure Snake was indeed a True Demonic Ancestor. With just one move, she exuded an aura of dominance. For any other cultivator, even late-stage ones, catching these demonic energy spears would be challenging.

But Lin Xuan wasn’t afraid.

"Go!"

With a sharp command, the Nine Palace Instant Sword became even more forceful.

As they were about to clash, something unexpected happened.

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed. The spears self-destructed, filling half the sky with black-red lightning fire.

At the same time, an unpleasant stench spread, making one’s nose wrinkle in disgust.

"Bad move, caught in a trap!"

Lin Xuan’s face turned pale. This filthy demonic energy was unmistakably from a Filth Treasure.

The Treasure Snake was truly despicable and vicious.

He looked up to see her smirking with satisfaction on her face.

As if he were already a fish on the chopping block.

They say, one should outwit rather than fight.

It wasn’t just about using strategy when weaker; even stronger opponents could use tactics. It would be more efficient.

This filthy demonic energy was born in the darkest parts of the Ancient Demon Realm and naturally had the effects of a Filth Treasure.

Ordinary treasures would lose their essence if they came into contact with it.

Lin Xuan dared to summon hislife-prolonging treasure (life essence treasure) in one exchange. This was an excellent opportunity he couldn’t miss. Once hislife-prolonging treasure (life essence treasure) was tainted, Lin Xuan would be easily captured.

The Treasure Snake wasn’t stingy about using tactics, and the process went more smoothly than she had anticipated.

Her expression showed satisfaction as she watched Lin Xuan. But then, an unexpected turn of events appeared before her eyes.

Logically, if hislife-prolonging treasure (life essence treasure) was tainted, Lin Xuan should have suffered severe injuries.

His face did indeed pale.

But soon, he reached out and drew a slash in front of him.

As Lin Xuan moved, the air rippled like ripples on a small lake. A white trace appeared, expanding into a ten-foot-long spatial rift.

Lin Xuan’s figure flashed inside it.

Simultaneously, a loud explosion sounded as electric arcs appeared on the black mass of demonic energy. The lightning was emerald green and eye-catching, with strange rule-of-law power embedded within.

Phantom Yin Divine Lightning!

The Treasure Snake’s pupils constricted. She almost thought she had misjudged. Wasn’t this the secret technique of the former Aru King? Where did this young man learn it?

This thought flashed through her mind before she noticed Lin Xuan’s figure becoming clear in front of her.

"Treasure Snake, you can die now!"

Lin Xuan’s cold voice echoed as he opened his mouth and spat out an egg-sized flame. It swirled into a huge object the size of a pavilion, which fiercely headed towards the Treasure Snake.

But Lin Xuan’s tactics didn’t stop there. He raised his hand, and a series of cracking sounds filled their ears. His body remained unchanged, but his right hand had grown ten times larger, with muscles bulging. A faint golden glow appeared on his arm.

Lin Xuan raised his right hand and punched forward.
