第三卷 幽州乱 第四百二十八章 波澜迭起

Survive by the middle.

Perhaps this was his only chance.

Although Lin Xuan wasn't very confident, he still had to take a gamble.

The opponent had clearly noticed him and stopped moving. Lin Xuan bit his lip and flew at full speed towards them.

Covering twenty or thirty miles in an instant, he was less than ten miles away from the opponent. Lin Xuan focused his spiritual energy on his eyes, seeing everything about the opponent clearly.

It was a beautiful female cultivator with a youthful appearance, no more than twenty years old. Her long, black hair reached her waist, and she wore a green palace robe.

Her expression showed a hint of surprise as she looked at Lin Xuan.

No wonder, given that last time they parted ways, Fairy Peacock nearly killed him. She must be wondering why he would directly head for the Fallen Webworld!

In the distance, Heavenly Brightness Ghost Emperor frowned. The powerful divine consciousness appearing from afar could it be another old monster of the Roundinfant period stage interfering?

No, there was a pure and unadulteratedevil aura in the spiritual energy.

Could it be a transformed period beast?

This unexpected change left Heavenly Brightness caught off guard. No matter which one, they were both troublesome.

But he only hesitated for an instant before snorting coldly, his sleeves fluttering as he continued to chase after Lin Xuan.

While fighting against peers was dangerous, he couldn't let the boy slip away.

The material that could generate a spirit manifestation was invaluable. Even in this world or the higher spiritual realm above, it would greatly boost his strength.

Those three foolish ghost kings had missed such an opportunity.

Now with the situation changing, Heavenly Brightness Ghost Emperor wasn't as relaxed. His body emitted dark energy, and he used some secret technique, doubling his speed to catch Lin Xuan before the unknown expert could.

However, things didn't go as planned. The distance between Lin Xuan and Fairy Peacock was clearly smaller.

The two could see each other's expressions clearly.

Mosses grew everywhere, but without hesitation, she waved her hand, a colorful cloud appearing to cover Lin Xuan.

She showed no killing intent this time; she just wanted to capture him alive.

What exactly did she have in mind?

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and wasn't about to surrender. He had prepared for the dangers he might face. His sleeves fluttered as several talismans shot out, transforming into countless red fireballs that clashed with the colorful cloud.

"Trivial tricks!"

Fairy Peacock paid no attention, extending a slender finger and lightly tapping it.

A small piece of the colorful cloud split off, turning into a green light barrier which flew out to envelop the fireballs.

There was a loud rumbling sound but nothing more.

Dozens of earth-grade spirit talismans could deter even peak condensation core cultivators. But in front of transformed period beasts, they were as weak as paper.

Lin Xuan's expression darkened as he opened his mouth and spat out the crimson divine fire gem.

"Hmph, still not giving up," Fairy Peacock's pretty face showed contempt. Lin Xuan ignored her, channeling spiritual energy to activate the divine fire gem.

The surface of the gem cracked with a sizzling sound, revealing faint black-red flames inside.

"Go!"

Lin Xuan pointed his finger, and the divine fire gem transformed into a red streak that clashed head-on with the colorful cloud.

A terrifying spiritual energy burst forth. The black-red flames instantly enveloped the colorful cloud.

Clearly anticipating this, Lin Xuan opened his mouth and spat out some of his essence blood. After being absorbed by the Flying Cloud Fallen Snow Sword, it whistled as its speed surged, though not reaching the level of conjuring flight, it was still much faster.

Under Lin Xuan's control, the sword turned slightly, dodging around Fairy Peacock.

"You..."

Fairy Peacock's face alternated between pale and red with extreme anger. She was a celestial bird, having gained godly powers after transforming into a beast form. When had anyone played such tricks on her?

Originally, she just wanted to capture this boy, but now, the killing intent around her made one shudder.

However, there was also some surprise. This boy acted decisively and with great resolve. His previous attack must have caused the ancient treasure to self-destruct, allowing him to block her colorful cloud.

After all, in the eyes of most condensation core cultivators, ancient treasures were as precious as life itself.

But this thought flashed through his mind only briefly. Playing tricks on her would come at a price. Fairy Peacock folded her hands and formed a hand seal before lightly tapping her fingers, several multicolored rays of light appearing.

"Combine!"

The lights merged together, twisting and fusing into a colorful sword that streaked towards Lin Xuan from several feet behind him.

This power left Lin Xuan's face pale. Although it was composed of spiritual energy andevil aura, its strength far exceeded that of condensation core cultivators' treasures. He had no confidence in blocking it.

But there was no retreat now; he could only grit his teeth and summon more treasures from his storage bag.

Just as he prepared to do so, Heavenly Brightness Ghost Emperor arrived just in time.

Seeing this scene, the old ghost spirit's expression changed dramatically.

"Stop!"

With a roar of anger, large ghost hands shot out from his sleeves, grabbing at the colorful sword.

Of course, his actions weren't about stopping bullies; he had another purpose.

From the chase over those few hours, he knew that this condensation core cultivator couldn't be taken lightly. His mind and tactics were top-notch.

Against such an enemy, one must be cautious.

He suspected that the boy might fear losing the treasure and hide it somewhere. If he simply threw it into a river or buried it in a mountain, as a ghost emperor, finding it wouldn't be easy.

So his plan was to capture Lin Xuan alive. If he could find the treasure, all the better; if not, he would let him experience the wonders of soul probing.

Heavenly Brightness Ghost Emperor wanted that spirit manifestation at any cost and couldn't afford for Lin Xuan to die easily.

Seeing the ghost emperor's urgency, how could he remain calm? Reluctantly, he had no choice but to intervene and save Lin Xuan.
