第三卷 幽州乱 第四百三十一章 浑身解数

Lin Xuan and I have a blood pact, so our cooperation is seamless. I summoned the Binding Immortal Ball. Yue'er waved her sleeves and began using other divine techniques.

Opening my mouth, I expelled a wisp of yin energy. After the magic banner absorbed it, it transformed into vast clouds of dark magic that continued to churn in place. Countless green fireballs, each about the size of a basin, erupted from within these clouds.

"Combine!"

Yue'er issued a soft command, and those fireballs immediately shot towards the ghostly figure. However, they suddenly halted around ten feet away, ready to strike at any moment.

Seeing this scene, the ghostly figure's expression changed. Before it could use another technique, Lin Xuan had already summoned the ancient treasure gourd.

With his divine sense controlling it and mana injected into it, the gourd emitted a flash of light and turned a vivid red color. Its size also increased significantly.

But that was only the beginning. A glint appeared in Lin Xuan's eyes as he pointed at the object above him. Instantly, the gourd became hazy and split into two.

Next, those two gourds again became hazy and produced new splits...

In a moment, the gourds transformed into nine, doubling their size compared to when the disheveled cultivator used it. Although both of them were at the Condensation Core mid-stage, Lin Xuan's divine sense was far superior, allowing him to unleash the true power of this treasure.

Meanwhile, the silver threads from the Binding Immortal Ball had arrived within three feet of the ghostly figure.

Faced with such a tight encirclement, the ghostly figure finally showed signs of anxiety. It raised its head and let out an angry roar.

As that fierce howl echoed, a swirling vortex of yin energy formed around it. The vortex was so intense that the silver threads from the Binding Immortal Ball couldn't get close.

Lin Xuan's brows rose as he didn't show any signs of panic on his face. He flipped his right hand and revealed an ancient-looking mirror in his palm.

The mirror surface was smooth, emitting shocking amounts of qi. Lin Xuan raised it high, and with a burst of mana, over a dozen black light orbs emerged from within.

After some distortion, they fused together to form a monstrous creature that stretched about ten feet long. It resembled a tiger found in the mountains but had a pair of pitch-black wings on its back.

Lin Xuan's lips curled into a smile as he pointed at the ghostly figure: "Go!"

The monster tiger's eyes flashed red, and it vanished with incredible speed from where it was.

Seeing this, the ghostly figure showed no fear. It didn't use any other techniques; clearly, it had full confidence in its yin energy vortex.

The monstrous tiger charged into the vortex but disappeared without a sound. However, several seconds later, the vortex visibly shrank.

The ghostly figure was shocked and angry, his expression incredulous. He never imagined that this ancient mirror could cause his yin energy to dissipate so quickly.

What kind of ancient treasure is this? It has such extraordinary abilities?

Lin Xuan didn't give him time to think. With a mental command, the silver threads floating around immediately wrapped up the ghostly figure. At such close range, there was no way for it to dodge. Its form flickered and turned into a cloud of ghostly mist as it tried to break free from the encirclement.

Unfortunately, it was in vain. Lin Xuan had underestimated the Binding Immortal Ball's abilities; even without physical form, this treasure could still tightly bind its target.

The ghostly mist writhed and struggled but ultimately ended up tied into a huge bundle of rope.

Lin Xuan's face brightened as he immediately cast his spells into the gourd in front of him.

Nine beams, each about the size of an arm, emerged from within. More astonishingly, each beam was wrapped with flames and electric arcs.

Yue'er closed her hands, and those green ghostly flames followed suit, rushing towards the ghostly figure.

Even the dozen iron-armored mummified corpses didn't hesitate; they all shot their long spears at the target.

Thunderbolts flashed, lightning intersected, and a huge explosion echoed in the air. The ghostly figure couldn't dodge even with the silver threads binding it, let alone use any techniques to defend itself.

Lin Xuan wasn't done yet. As the saying goes, "when someone is down, kick them while they're down." This was after all a fragment of the Ghost Emperor, and he couldn't afford to be careless; who knew what kind of survival techniques this entity might have?

With a wave of his sleeves, Lin Xuan re-summoned the Drifting Cloud Snowfall Sword. As it caught the wind, it expanded to several feet in length and fiercely slashed at the target.

Lin Xuan believed that even if the Ghost Emperor himself were present, he would surely be severely injured by this series of attacks.

Sure enough, his expectations weren't disappointed. After a short while, the smoke cleared, leaving the ghostly figure in shambles. Although it hadn't completely disintegrated, it was close to doing so.

Lin Xuan was pleased and quickly cast spells into the gourd before him. Nine beams, each as thick as an arm, emerged from within. More astonishingly, each beam was wrapped with flames and electric arcs.

Yue'er threw out the Beast Soul Banner, and its surface generated a massive suction force that completely absorbed all the ghostly energy.

Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and waved his hands to retrieve the summoned treasures. Without hesitation, he and Yue'er re-summoned the Beast Soul Banner and used their combined escape technique, flying off into the distance.

Meanwhile, several dozen miles away...

Two old monsters at the Yuan婴 level were engaged in an intense battle. In terms of strength, Fairy Phoenix was naturally more formidable. However, the Heavenly Light Ghost Emperor was incredibly cunning; he didn't engage in a direct confrontation but merely used his techniques to keep her occupied. He believed that with such a Condensation Core cultivator, even if they had some special abilities like body duplicates from the foundation establishment stage, victory would be certain.

However, things didn't go as planned. Lin Xuan couldn't be reasoned with; although he wasn't as extraordinary as the Immortal King of Hundred Poisons back then, his strength was far above that of his peers at this level.

On one side, the Heavenly Light Ghost Emperor was slowly wearing down Fairy Phoenix. On the other side, Lin Xuan had already destroyed his fragment.

At the exact moment when the ghostly figure was chopped into pieces, the Heavenly Light Ghost Emperor sensed something. His brows furrowed, and his expression turned to its most unpleasant state.

Anger and shock mixed as he realized that his body duplicate had been destroyed. More frustratingly, this meant that the target would escape from his grasp. How could such precious material fall into the hands of a mere human cultivator?

"Get out of my way!"

The Heavenly Light Ghost Emperor's face twisted in agony as he flicked his fingers, releasing several pure streams of yin energy that transformed into various weapons—swords, spears, and more—and struck at the target with all his might.

Fairy Phoenix saw this but showed no fear. Instead, a mocking expression appeared on her lips: "What's gotten you so worked up? Did your body duplicate get destroyed by the other side? Hmph! A mere Ghost Emperor, such trivial means."

Five-colored light flashed around her as she transformed into several divine birds and bravely charged towards the treasures released by the ghost emperor.
