第三千九百七十七章 重伤的真仙

The terrifying power was beyond words to describe. Not only did it reduce the entire space into dust, but even the surroundingpower of the law were consumed by this devastating explosion.

Lin Xuan had faced countless hardships since he embarked on his cultivation path, yet a look of shock still appeared on his face at this moment.

Though he had experienced much, such an ultimate trap was something he had never witnessed firsthand. If he were in that situation, he would likely not have survived the sudden attack.

Now, he probably lay in pieces!

Just thinking about it made him shudder. What blue Star Sea? It was nothing but a huge bait set out for him.

Fortunately, at the last moment, he realized his mistake and did not rush forward to contest with the opponent. Otherwise...

Lin Xuan closed his eyes, revealing a look of relief on his face. Since the opponent had laid this ultimate trap here, there would be no treasures hidden in this place.

Wasted effort!

But saying so was an overstatement.

Regardless, he could use this trap to eliminate this strange and powerful enemy, making this trip worthwhile.

With that thought, Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile. As the saying goes, good things come after much trouble. He would just have to start from scratch if necessary; he knew where Moon's whereabouts were.

Before this thought fully formed in his mind, a piercing roar suddenly entered his ears. Lin Xuan turned around sharply, ready to leave.

Had that terrifying power not killed the opponent?

In front of him was an empty field. To enhance the explosion’s destructive force, whoever had set up this trap spared no effort. The light points exploded within a half-acre radius, ensuring the building was reduced to rubble without harming Lin Xuan.

No shattered stones or debris remained.

The structure seemed to have vanished entirely, leaving nothing but a deep pit in sight.

But what caught his attention wasn't that.

What worried him was the enemy's condition. Had it perished?

If the opponent were still alive, Lin Xuan wouldn’t mind finishing the job with another strike.

Roar!

A roar filled with endless resentment echoed. Then Lin Xuan saw a shocking scene.

In the pit, everything lay in ruins. The mysterious and powerful foe hadn't vanished into thin air; it was merely half its body left, one arm and leg missing.

The wound was horrifying, yet no blood flowed from it. In the ancient demon's eyes, there was boundless hatred.

He had thought he would finally get his desired treasure, but now, this was the result. That old monster truly had a heart of stone.

If not for his timely sacrifice of hislife treasure, relying on the divine treasures in hisimmortal dwelling to withstand most of the blast’s power, he would have suffered far worse than just severe injuries.

Thinking about that moment made the ancient demon shudder with fear.

But misfortune never comes alone. Before he could recover from this shock, a warning sign flashed behind him. The ancient demon swiftly moved out of harm's way.

Simultaneously, a sharp sword light sliced through where he had been standing moments ago.

Close and deadly.

He was lucky to have avoided decapitation.

"Is it you!"

Recognizing Lin Xuan’s face, the ancient demon’s eyes flashed with intense hatred. He had never liked Lin Xuan, and now seeing his current state made him even angrier, transferring that resentment onto Lin Xuan.

"You little brat, are you pleased? I will tear your soul and refine it!"

With a snarl, he unleashed a torrent of vicious energy towards Lin Xuan.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan was not alarmed but delighted. He flicked his sleeve, releasing a thin, ethereal sword that glowed brightly as he pointed at the enemy with a finger, igniting flames of five colors.

These flames carried an overwhelming destructive force and slashed toward the opponent.

Puff...

Almost instantaneously, a muffled sound echoed.

Whether the ancient demon was blinded by rage or simply too overconfident to dodge, it had been hit. More accurately, it narrowly avoided being sliced in half.

At the last second, he managed to sidestep.

But even so, his condition was dire. The combined power of the Nine Palaces Sword Technique and Illusory Heavenly Fire was no joke. With his injuries already severe, this situation could only worsen.

Half his body burned, but this foe proved resilient, not succumbing to death as he turned and fled in a desperate bid for survival.

With the enemy’s life hanging by a thread, Lin Xuan had no intention of letting him escape. He swung his arm, creating a flurry of fist shadows that rained down like a storm on the opponent.

This time, he couldn’t use his treasures, but his punches were still formidable. With only three-tenths of his full strength and now with his treasures destroyed, injuries worsening, it was reasonable to assume he would be caught in Lin Xuan’s grasp.

Lin Xuan thought so, but this time, he miscalculated.

Despite the dire straits, as a true cultivator, the ancient demon had some means of self-preservation. Despite being surrounded by fist shadows, he spat out a cloud of blood.

This mist coalesced into a bloody longsword.

Sizzle...

The void was torn open, revealing a shimmering hole.

Then, his figure blurred and disappeared into it.

Crashing through the void!

A common technique, but in the Small Immortal Realm, such an action carried significant risks. A misstep could trigger terrifying restrictions.

And who knew where this would lead? If it were a dead end, that would be disastrous.

The ancient demon didn’t want to do this, but he had no choice now.

It mattered not how dangerous; resolving the immediate crisis was paramount.

Lin Xuan watched in shock and frustration. While he couldn’t help his situation, he understood why.

Then, from nearby, a light suddenly flared, and Lin Xuan sensed spatial energy.

This sudden change left him bewildered. Was there another formidable foe here besides that hateful creature? Or perhaps Moon had arrived, though the chances were slim. In the realm of cultivation, anything was possible. So, Lin Xuan widened his eyes in anticipation. (To be continued...)
