第三千七百八十二章 连施妙计

But his expression and actions were a picture of distress, with a look of lingering fear on his face!

While saying that he had survived the ordeal was an exaggeration, the danger they faced earlier was indeed non-trivial.

The entire process, though complicated to recount, took only an instant.

When the emperor was enraged, blood flowed like rivers. The precious snake, being a true demon progenitor, unleashed its fury so intensely that it even caused the heavens and earth to tremble.

Despite Lin Xuan's hard-earned opportunity, he could not deal a fatal blow to his opponent. In an instant, the precious snake broke free from their threefold attack.

Instead of retreating, they turned the tables and severely injured two formidable opponents!

The situation reversed, and the precious snake's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as it viciously stared at Lin Xuan.

This time, it was your turn.

Facing the precious snake's venomous gaze, a smile appeared on Lin Xuan's lips.

Did she think that she had already passed through this crisis?

Wrong!

She did injure two formidable opponents. But the more so, the more vulnerable she became.

The precious snake might not have noticed, but at this moment, her old strength was fading while new energy had yet to be generated.

This opportunity was precisely what Lin Xuan had been waiting for.

From the beginning, he never intended to rely on his two companions. Not only did their power levels make him distrustful, but they had also made a reluctant choice to team up out of necessity. They were each harboring ulterior motives.

Under such circumstances, Lin Xuan's choice was clear: he would depend solely on himself.

Forcing the two into submission earlier was merely to draw the precious snake's attention.

This was already more than enough for him.

Seeing the precious snake looking at him, Lin Xuan turned his head and gave her a smile.

Though this smile was humble and peaceful, it felt somewhat inappropriate to the precious snake. An alarm bell suddenly rang in her mind.

"Something’s not right!"

Even if she didn't know where the danger would come from, staying in place clearly wasn’t wise.

The precious snake, having seen many battles, shook its shoulders. A finger drew a line forward, and though it seemed gentle, a white hole appeared before them.

The precious snake's entire body was bathed in green light as it tried to step into the space rift.

"Trying to run? Not so easily!"

Lin Xuan raised his right hand, fingers loosely clasped, and an ancient-looking spear materialized in his palm.

Wu…

Without hesitation, he injected mana into the spear. The surface of the weapon was marred with intricate patterns that seemed to have been activated. Ancient runes appeared, vastly different from ordinary ones—this wasn’t unusual since they were from a妖族's script.

More and more runes emerged, then flashed to form a circular array before them. A mysterious and ingenious magical阵圈 appeared.

Vaguely, several spirit beast silhouettes seemed to emerge.

Though the exact species was unclear due to their blurry appearance, the aura they emitted was no less imposing than that of true spirits.

The Spear of the Sea!

This treasure from the human world had finally reached a level where Lin Xuan's mana could fully unleash its power after years of refinement. The entire process was swift; the precious snake didn’t even have time to step into the space rift, showing signs of surprise in her eyes.

But Lin Xuan paid no heed. He raised his right hand and swung the spear down with force.

Sizzle…

A fierce light flashed out, forming a crescent-shaped blade. Within this blade were several intricate mini-magic阵 circles.

Though Lin Xuan’s actions weren’t perfect, the precious snake had already prepared for it. She moved swiftly into the white space rift.

If any other cultivator were in her place, they would have been greatly disappointed. But a glint of sharpness flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.

"Break!"

With his shout, the blade’s speed increased dramatically, piercing through the hole just as it vanished.

The next moment, a loud crack echoed, and from several dozen feet away, a shrill cry and angry斥责 sounded. A terrifying波动 burst forth.

The crescent-shaped blade appeared before Lin Xuan's eyes, revealing the precious snake's expression of utter shock and rage.

True demon energy surged as a shield materialized with countless snakes carved on its surface.

The blade collided with it…

Boom!

The scene was indescribable; the entire sky turned red.

Though the Spear of the Sea had formidable power, here it seemed to be at a loss. The precious snake wasn’t faring well either. Her fierce gaze and desire to devour someone were evident: "Spear of the Sea!"

Her deliberate voice revealed its origin.

"Accursed little brat! You only know how to use tricks, thinking that you can injure this saint?"

She had every right to say so because Lin Xuan seemed to have exhausted his strategies. The ambush was well-planned but ineffective against sheer power, which the opponent used to nullify it.

So far, the precious snake hadn’t even used her domain or summoned any treasures, showing how vast the gap in their strength truly was.

In the face of overwhelming force, even the most cunning plans were futile. She began pondering how to use demonic techniques to make Lin Xuan suffer.

But just then, something unexpected happened.

A crystalline light emerged from behind her.

Nine Palaces Instantly!

Lin Xuan’s life-bound treasure had already freed itself from the filthy demon energy but was kept idle by him, as if forgotten.

Was that possible?

Of course not. Lin Xuan merely set a trap.

Use the blade wisely; since he ambushed them, it should be unexpected. The power of the Nine Palaces Instantly was beyond doubt— even a true demon progenitor would suffer severe injuries from one strike.

This time, everything happened in a flash. In such a short period, Lin Xuan launched several powerful attacks.

The precious snake couldn’t dodge in time and could only watch as that crystalline light sliced across her neck.

Sizzle…

A fresh red mark appeared on the precious snake's neck, followed by gushing blood that splattered several dozen feet away. The precious snake’s head fell from its body, leaving two women and a green immortal staring in shock.

Was this really happening? A true demon progenitor was just killed?

Despite Lin Xuan’s well-planned ambush and sharp attacks, it still seemed unbelievable.

The precious snake was the supreme figure of the demon world.

In disbelief, the two watched as Lin Xuan moved swiftly away from where the precious snake's head had fallen.

Boom!

A massive venomous snake appeared behind him, opening its blood-stained mouth to bite at nothing.
