第三千七百九十五章 濒临绝境

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Lin Xuan's mouth continued to spew out blood. Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, he had faced countless battles, but such severe injuries were not common.

The wound was as large as a bowl, and the blood gushed out continuously.

If it were any other cultivator, they would likely have perished long ago, or at least needed to retreat their元婴 (soul leaving body) since such a severe injury meant that his condition could hardly be fully restored.

Lin Xuan certainly wouldn't make such a choice. He had spent countless efforts refining his physical body to this extent; how could he give up because of a minor injury?

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan felt a crystalline light surge from the wound. The bleeding slowed down, and numerous flesh buds emerged, wriggling as they repaired the wound.

"..."

The precious snake was speechless, almost thinking she had misjudged what she saw. Her murmured words reached his ears: "Invincible body... how is this possible?"

It wasn't surprising that she was shocked. An invincible body, by its very name, referred to a creature with a savage bloodline, and such beings were extremely rare.

This Lin family youth's origins had been thoroughly investigated. He was undoubtedly an ascended human cultivator; how could he possibly have an invincible body?

It was too absurd!

Such things hadn't even been heard of before, let alone witnessed. However, the scene in front of him was undeniably real.

The precious snake's expression turned grim as she didn't dawdled. She was a seasoned warrior after all.

Despite her shock, her actions remained swift and precise. A slight tremor on her shoulder sent out a flicker of light, and suddenly, she vanished from the spot.

In the next moment, she was once again within arm's reach of Lin Xuan.

Her face was filled with murderous intent as she pointed at Lin Xuan's neck. This time, she stabbed towards his throat.

If this hit, it would sever Lin Xuan's head. With an invincible body, such a move would render the entire concept meaningless.

How vicious!

But Lin Xuan showed no fear on his face. Even though he was struggling to move, some of his abilities were prepared in advance.

Despite being severely injured, his mental state remained stable.

He took a deep breath and focused his spirit force between his brows.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the sound of insects filled the air. From all directions, from the depths of the dense fog, countless purple-red lights appeared, each about the size of an infant's fist. Amidst the vibrant colors was a savage, primitive aura.

The Jade Net Bee!

And it had nearly reached maturity.

The precious snake's expression turned extremely ugly. As the true demon progenitor, she knew too well the terrifying nature of this insect.

Time poison.

While her domain could reverse other natural laws, facing the most enigmatic time law, there was only a sigh of helplessness.

In other words, time poison was one of the few things that posed a threat to her. It couldn't be taken lightly.

Given Lin Xuan's perilous situation, the Jade Net Bees naturally didn't hide their strength either. Over ten thousand bees swarmed out, converging into a cloud several acres wide and plummeting down on the precious snake.

Her pupils constricted as she moved her hands like butterflies, shooting out spells from behind. A flash of demonic light revealed the shadow of her ancestral spirit snake.

Eight heads glared, casting an icy chill around them. She opened her mouth and spat out beams of light as thick as a child's arm.

These beams soon blurred into countless gray rays, which in turn transformed into tiny snakes with wings, each about an inch long. The number was staggering—more than ten times the number of Jade Net Bees.

The two insect clouds collided mid-air. The outcome was clear; the winged snakes couldn't withstand the impact of the Jade Net Bees but managed to hold back by sheer numbers.

In高手 battles, every millimeter counted.

For now, the Jade Net Bees were held back, leaving no obstacles in front of the precious snake. With a stomp of her jade foot, several flickers of light shot out and approached Lin Xuan once again.

Frustrating!

She hadn't expected the Jade Net Bees to be so quickly dispatched by the other party. Lin Xuan was still recovering from his injuries.

Indeed, his physical body was incredibly resilient, having absorbed nearly a hundred true spirit essences, making his recovery capabilities almost unimaginable.

But what use is that when the injury was too severe? No matter how strong his recovery abilities were, there was always a limit.

In such a short time, it would be miraculous if he could prevent further deterioration. There was no hope for improvement.

"I'm done for!"

Lin Xuan's face truly showed despair. He wasn't unwilling to try; the problem was... there was nothing that could resolve this crisis.

While calling him黔驴技穷 (a donkey exhausting its tricks) might be an exaggeration, Lin Xuan was indeed trapped in a desperate situation at this moment.

Of course, he didn't intend to sit and wait for death. Even if his physical body was destined to perish here, he would still try to escape with his元婴 (soul). A gentleman seeks revenge; ten years is not too long.

However, the plan sounded good, but when it came down to it, Yue'er had run out on her own.

With lightning speed, she pushed Lin Xuan aside. But in doing so, she herself fell into the precious snake's clutches.

The situation changed suddenly, and the precious snake couldn't stop Lin Xuan in time. However, she reacted quickly, grabbing Yue'er with one hand and striking her chest with a palm.

"Master, dodge."

A familiar voice echoed in his ears as a powerful force surged towards him, pushing him to the side.

"Yue'er!"

Lin Xuan immediately realized what was happening. He felt both anger and anxiety. Why had she run out on her own?

Originally, he had sent Yue'er and Xiao Die into the Momentary Heavenly Realm Scroll to act as backup in critical moments. However, the battle had exceeded his expectations; the precious snake was far too powerful. Summoning two more girls wouldn't help.

He didn't want them to die needlessly.

The plan sounded good, but at this crucial moment, Yue'er still ran out on her own and pushed him aside with lightning speed. But in doing so, she herself fell into the precious snake's grasp.
