第四千零二十六章 以寡敌众

The Duke of Demonic Rock City's frustration was no secret, but this fellow certainly wasn't an ordinary figure; he was a cunning and experienced cultivator.

As the saying goes: "Misfortune may be an actual blessing in disguise, and good fortune may harbor hidden misfortunes." Must one necessarily suffer bad luck just because their cultivation is interrupted?

No!

His cultivation technique was extremely special, allowing him to possibly complete his final step through a process of self-destruction.

Though it was a risky move, the benefits if successful were immense.

Knowing he couldn't defeat Lin Xuan in battle, he devised this strategy: using an enemy's hand to complete his final breakthrough.

In other words, Lin Xuan was being toyed with and exploited by him.

This fellow had indeed been fortunate; completing his cultivation technique through a risky move, his strength not only returned to its original level but surpassed it. He could now be considered at the peak of his power.

With this newfound confidence, he looked at Lin Xuan with a sneer on his face.

The intricacies and twists of events were unclear to Lin Xuan. In actual combat, one didn't need to understand these complexities; absolute strength was enough to碾压them.

But now, the situation had changed. The域外天魔, originally seeking an escape route, became anxious when the Duke of Demonic Rock City revived. These creatures were not only vicious and cunning but also adept at changing their tactics based on circumstances. They looked at each other and surrounded Lin Xuan from all sides.

The First Demon Sovereign saw this clearly and smiled. As they say, one hero needs three helpers; a red flower needs green leaves to complement it.

Though his extraordinary techniques had reached the pinnacle of perfection, facing Lin Xuan and his two companions alone was still challenging. He thus acted generously, forgiving their earlier cowardice: "Work together to keep these two women busy. As for this young man named Lin, I'll handle him myself. With one swift strike, we can eliminate them all, and Lord Void will surely reward us handsomely."

"Yes!"

The域外天魔 feared Lin Xuan like a tiger but paid no mind to Little Butterfly. Relying on their numbers, they cast various shaped treasures and fiercely attacked.

This plan aligned with the strategy of Lin Xuan and his companions.

"Master, the Duke of Demonic Rock City is yours. I'll handle these fellows along with Sister Little Butterfly."

Moonlight waved her玄阴宝盒, which transformed into a divine sword, its light flickering as if thousands of ghosts howled within.

A wave of dark energy surged, forming dense ghostly fog that seemed to conceal something monstrous.

With another sharp cry from Moonlight, powerful mana poured out.

As she moved, fierce winds blew away the thick fog, revealing dozens of evil spirits. Some had green faces and sharp teeth; others held sharp claws in their hands. Their appearances were grotesque, not inferior to those域外天魔 before them.

Their strength was formidable, reaching the realm of渡劫期.

Especially at the forefront: a golden-faced Corpse King and an eight-armed Ghost Emperor. Both had reached mid-transmutation stage, which was beyond Moonlight's own level. It was hard to imagine how she could create such powerful ghostly entities.

Without hesitation, Moonlight faced this challenge with ease. The clash of divine artifacts and magical lights filled the air as they fought fiercely. In a moment, cries of pain echoed—both an evil spirit and a Demon Sovereign had fallen.

The blood rain fell heavily, but in an instant, that evil spirit reappeared.

Resurrected from death, Moonlight's face paled slightly; such miraculous techniques came with significant costs. However, their power was undeniable; nearly half the Demon Sovereigns were now occupied by her.

What about the rest?

Don't worry.

Little Butterfly wasn't one to be underestimated either. She had reached late-transmutation stage and while her cultivation technique might not match Moonlight's, her innate abilities in illusionary techniques could still overwhelm multiple opponents.

Facing dozens of charging Demon Sovereigns, Little Butterfly didn't summon any treasures; she simply stood there with her eyes closed, powerful mana surging out, creating ripples in the air that enveloped those viciously attacking Demon Sovereigns.

An unbelievable scene unfolded. Time seemed to stand still as the Demon Sovereigns stopped their actions, their faces showing a mix of confusion, fear, surprise, and joy. Some even drooled like fools.

Though it sounded incredible, Little Butterfly was no longer the same. After consuming the Jade Silk Bee and with so many years passing, she had gained much from time manipulation techniques. Combining her learned time laws with her innate illusions, she achieved a miraculous effect.

Thirty or more Demon Sovereigns, originally fierce and ruthless, were now like lifeless puppets, easily manipulated by her.

Lin Xuan didn't need to turn his gaze; his powerful mana already comprehended everything happening on the battlefield. A smile appeared on his face as he praised Moonlight and Little Butterfly's prowess. He knew it was dangerous for them to fight so many opponents but hoped they could hold out until he acted.

With this in mind, Lin Xuan prepared to strike. However, the First Demon Sovereign struck faster. With a flash of ferocity in his eyes, he swung his wolf-tooth club at Lin Xuan with deadly force.

Despite being several dozen feet apart, as he attacked, the sky suddenly grew dark.

"Bang bang bang," the sound of impacts echoed. The surface of the wolf-tooth club burst into three heads-sized flames of different colors: purple and gold, pure black, and crimson.

These flames exploded, releasing distinct rule forces that pressed toward Lin Xuan like a tidal wave.

Meanwhile, he vanished in the midst of this force.

Though he had transformed into a giant, his movements were agile. He was far more skilled than ordinary cultivators, almost impossible to track with one's divine sense.

Yet, Lin Xuan showed no surprise. With a flick of his sleeve, a streak of green light appeared, seemingly unremarkable but containing several rule forces. A thunderous explosion rocked the area as it collided with the force wave.

Simultaneously, he raised his left hand and struck his side with a powerful punch. (To be continued...)
