第四千一百六十五章 将计就计

Lin Xuan shook his head, quickly pushing aside any discomfort. He was in a position of favorable timing and circumstances; there was no way an unexpected mistake could occur.

The spiritual signs in his heart were not to be ignored, but given his strength, he didn't need to be overly cautious. Being too clever might backfire and earn him ridicule.

With that thought, his mind shifted.

Tian Xiang waved his sleeves, causing a spatial fluctuation. The void shattered as an opening several feet wide appeared in his vision.

"Let's go!"

Tian Xiang called out, emitting a bright green light before flying into the opening.

The other True Immortals could see clearly and didn't dare be careless. They followed one after another.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lin Xuan's expression was grim.

The power displayed by the great experts of the spiritual realm left people speechless. Just as the six-armed beast seemed to be about to fall, a momentary lapse led it into an elaborate trap set by the bold whale king.

Possession?

Despite some differences from usual situations, the outcome was clear—disastrous.

This magic art is truly bizarre!

Lin Xuan, Yu Tong, and Daoist Nai Long all had grim expressions. The Queen of Qing Qiu looked no better.

What should they do now? Should they attack like the whale king?

But apart from Lin Xuan, the others were close friends with him; they couldn't bear to see an old friend perish.

Yet doing nothing would only make matters worse.

It was a tough choice.

Lin Xuan felt somewhat at a loss. The decision shouldn't be his in this situation.

A soft sigh entered his ears. Yu Tong's expression turned resolute. As the strongest of the spiritual realm, she wasn’t weak.

Though momentarily confused, she quickly decided what to do.

The fall of the whale king was indeed tragic, but letting him suffer would only lead them down a similar path.

"Old friend, I'm sorry!"

Yu Tong sighed as two sword beams shot out like dragons from the sky.

No flashy moves, yet the power was astonishing. The whale king had been possessed, but it was just an opportune moment. As one of the top experts in the spiritual realm, his soul wasn’t easily consumed.

He must still be struggling with the possession; this was his weakest point. They couldn't miss this chance to eliminate him.

Yu Tong’s reasoning was clear to everyone present. Lin Xuan and others understood as well.

Each had decades of battle experience. The hesitation earlier was just a lack of face, but now that someone else was handling it, they wouldn’t hesitate.

Lin Xuan's hand moved, emitting a burst of green light. Nine Palace Swift Sword transformed into a web of green sword threads, shooting forward.

His skill in transforming swords to threads had reached an unparalleled level.

Though each thread seemed insignificant, the power was enough to make even True Immortals tremble.

Daoist Nai Long's expression mirrored Lin Xuan’s. The usually carefree Daoist now wore a somber look; his old friend's fall was hard to bear.

They could add "Bailianchengxian Huanyu" or "hchy1982" on WeChat for direct contact with Huan Yu.

A hand waved, and the jadeas desired transformed into a short sword-like treasure. It quickly grew to resemble a longsword.

Swinging it fiercely, a hurricane of winds emerged, howling like ghosts and wolves. The winds contained various shapes of beast claws, each harboring unknown powers.

Another sharp cry echoed. This time, Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox was the farthest away but acted swiftly. A glass-like vessel appeared in her hand.

Radiant light flickered as numerous blade-shaped lights leaped out and converged into flower-like treasures.

The five-colored glass emitted a shocking aura, rushing towards their target.

They must eliminate this threat at its source. With the whale king possessed, it was his weakest moment. If they could cleanly dispatch him, that would be ideal.

A wave of attacks engulfed the void, as if swallowing it whole.

However, a low growl reached their ears. The whale king, previously in pain, suddenly raised his head, eyes glowing with fierce light!

No, his pupils had turned grayish-white.

The hatred on his face was indescribable.

A loud roar echoed as he swung both fists repeatedly. With each movement, countless black fist shadows emerged and transformed into monstrous creatures.

Evil dragons, venomous snakes, and ferocious birds—some Lin Xuan hadn't even seen before—pierced through the attacks, carving out a bloody path.

His strength surpassed his previous state by far; there was no weakness.

Lin Xuan's face showed shock but he didn’t freeze. A spell was cast, and Nine Palace Swift Sword emitted fierce light, transforming into the images of true dragons and phoenixes.

Now wasn't the time to hide. Lin Xuan flawlessly performed True Spirit Transformed Sword Technique.

But the whale king took a step forward, arriving just three feet from Lin Xuan.

His strength had indeed surpassed before. He aimed a punch at Lin Xuan's head.

Seeing his eyes flash with mockery, Lin Xuan understood—he wanted to break them one by one. Hmph, was he treating him as a soft target?

Lin Xuan couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. However, compared to the other great experts of the spiritual realm, he appeared weaker on the surface.

But if they thought he could be easily bullied, they were gravely mistaken.

Seeing the whale king closing in, Lin Xuan didn't dodge; instead, he advanced with a mocking smile.

"Whale King," he was delighted. Relying on his resilient body to clash head-on was foolish. He had confidence in killing Lin Xuan instantly.

As the two approached each other, Lin Xuan's figure suddenly blurred and vanished. In its place, an illusory golden body appeared.

Nine heads, eighteen arms!

"What is this?"

The whale king’s expression turned alarmed upon seeing the illusory form.

A hundred feet away, a spatial fluctuation revealed Lin Xuan’s presence.

Using a decoy strategy, Lin Xuan smirked. With both hands gripping, the illusory form began to attack.

Eighteen arms opened wide, tightly embracing the opponent like crabs. This wasn’t over; each of the nine heads opened its mouth, spraying countless lightning bolts and flames.

White demon eyes appeared on his forehead, emitting dazzling beams that instantly engulfed the whale king. (To be continued...)
