第三千八百九十八章 黑熊王

He was not only imposing in stature but also exuded a formidable aura ofevil spirit气息, which made the air around him crackle with tension. His face showed intense anger as cracks began to appear in the void before him.

"Huff, huff!"

After several deep breaths, the black bear-like creature finally calmed down and let out a few heavy breaths. With a flick of its massive paw, something resembling a beast skin flew out, exploding with a loud "bang" in front of it. A dark shadow coalesced from the smoke.

With a longer head and shorter limbs, small ears perched on top, and an extremely muscular build, this creature had prominent fangs that gave it a wild appearance akin to a common boar in the mortal world. However, appearances were deceiving; this was an unknown beast.

"Since my beloved grandson has fallen, go and find out who killed him and bring me back word of the culprit. I will make sure his soul is torn apart," the black bear-like creature's deep voice resounded, as it threw a treasure-sized gem at the beast.

"Ahhh!"

The beast was overjoyed, swallowing the gem whole before transforming into a wisp of dark wind and escaping from the palace.

...

"What? The monster we just encountered was the grandson of the Black Bear King of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect?"

A streak of lightning flashed across the sky as a young man with the surname Long's face was filled with anxiety. "This... How can this be resolved?"

"Senior Brother, don't panic. The powers of that beast were not impressive, and what about the identity of this Black Bear King? He is no ordinary figure," Lin Xuan remained calm on his face.

The black bear had already fallen to his hands; a nameless bear monster was nothing special.

"Young brother, you mustn't underestimate any hero. The head elder of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect has incomparable body cultivation techniques. In terms of physical strength alone, he ranks among the top five in the Spirit Realm, and none can match him within our Naelong Region," the young man with the surname Long said anxiously.

"Incomparable? Is that an exaggeration?" Lin Xuan was not arrogant but also did not undervalue himself. A black bear monster—what could it do?

"Young brother, you mustn't underestimate any hero. The head elder of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect has incomparable body cultivation techniques. In terms of physical strength alone, he ranks among the top five in the Spirit Realm and none can match him within our Naelong Region," the young man with the surname Long said anxiously.

"Sorry Brother Lin, it's my fault. If not for me, you wouldn't have encountered the Black Bear King."

Cloud Ruo Yan bowed gracefully, full of regret. "This is not your fault, Young Lady. Regardless, we share a bond as old friends. Can I just stand by and watch if I know you're in danger? As for the Black Bear King, I don't wish to offend him but since we've already offended each other, there's no need to fear. His fame is widespread, but I am not easily intimidated," Lin Xuan said calmly.

He knew his own abilities well; body cultivation techniques—so was he. At this stage of cultivation, progress was difficult. If the Black Bear King came looking for trouble, it would be a good opportunity to test himself.

Just as they were talking, Lin Xuan suddenly became alert. "Who dares listen in on my conversation? What audacity."

Before his words had finished, Lin Xuan's sleeve flew out, sending a sharp light that transformed into a sword slicing at an empty space.

The young man with the surname Long and Cloud Ruo Yan were taken aback as they turned their heads. A boar-like howl echoed in their ears. Hundreds of feet away to the left, dark energy appeared, revealing a monstrous figure resembling a wild boar. It was filled with fear but quickly split into seven parts, fleeing in different directions.

"Trivial tricks."

Lin Xuan's expression remained unchanged. "Think you can fool me by using mere illusions and escape unscathed? Too naive."

Before his words had finished, Lin Xuan raised his right hand and pointed forward.

As he moved, a gale of energy sliced through the void, creating numerous gaps in space that resembled traps for hunting beasts, blocking all possible escape routes.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft."

His several virtual shadows vanished with a pop.

Then, a flash of light appeared, revealing the boar-like beast once more.

Red eyes stared at Lin Xuan but could not hide their fear. It was cornered and unwilling to surrender.

Opening its mouth, fangs blurred as electric sparks spread across its surface, forming an electric snake that lunged towards Lin Xuan.

"Achilles' heel!"

Lin Xuan ignored it, raising his right hand and pointing forward with a casual flick of his finger.

As he moved, the void became hazy, revealing multicolored spiritual light that gathered into a giant hand, rushing toward the beast.

The beast was alarmed but found itself unable to move as the air around it solidified.

It was trapped.

The boar demon panicked and tried to use other secret techniques, but it was too late. Its innate abilities were impressive, but how could it escape Lin Xuan's hands?

Caught by that giant hand.

As for the electric snake it released—it had no effect on Lin Xuan. With a casual wave of his hand, it dissipated in the air.

"Hmm, this creature has some bloodline connection to thejudge."

Lin Xuan looked at the boar demon with surprise. Thejudge was one of the nine sons of the dragon, ranked seventh, resembling a tiger but possessing immense power and being among the strongest true spirits.

This boar demon did not resemble thejudge in appearance, yet it had some of its bloodline. Lin Xuan was intrigued but not intimidated. Given the creature's intelligence, he decided to probe its mind to see who sent it.

With that thought, Lin Xuan closed his eyes and pointed at its forehead with a finger.
