第三卷 幽州乱 第四百四十一章 黔驴技穷

It couldn't be, Tai Xi came here for a reason. Reliable sources say that Zhang Yu has been up to no good."

"What? The White Crane Sword Immortal?" The burly man's face showed signs of surprise: "How could this be possible? This person holds high office in the Green Cloud Mountain and is known for hating evil..."

"Hmph, hating evil, just a hypocrite. He first flirted with the魔道, then had some shady dealings with the阴魂," the old man said disdainfully.

The burly man was stunned by this revelation. Unfortunately, the elder didn't want to go into details and it wasn't the right time for such discussions anyway.

"Since there might be an Old Monarch of Condensation Core involved, this matter is beyond our handling. We should report back to the Sect Master," the old man suggested as he stroked his beard.

The burly man had no objections. If two Old Monarchs were indeed fighting, their battle alone would likely wipe out everyone present. He didn't want a messy death.

As for the other Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, they remained silent and unobtrusive.

Thus, the Qingshang Sect members turned back and flew in the direction of their original path.

"Fucking hell!"

The White Crane Sword Immortal's eyebrows were tightly furrowed with anger. This kid's abilities far exceeded his expectations. He had managed to fend off attacks from two Holy Beasts consecutively.

This made him grimace. It seemed he would have to expend a lot of essence energy to eliminate this kid.

Opening his mouth, he spat out more fresh blood. After absorbing the blood mist, the White Tiger roared and its aura grew increasingly ferocious.

With a flick of both paws, countless claw shadows appeared, densely packed. Accompanied by "sizzling" sounds as they pierced through the air, they shot towards Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan's expression changed. Without further thought, he snapped his fingers, causing several talismans to spin and form colorful light barriers in front of him.

However, the next moment left Lin Xuan shocked. The claw shadows sliced through the barriers effortlessly, tearing them apart like paper. He had just summoned precious Earth-grade spirit talismans.

The White Tiger's casual strike had such terrifying power.

Seeing that the claw shadows were only three feet away, Lin Xuan activated a heart refinement method. His figure twisted and he vanished from his spot.

Zhang Tai Bai's expression darkened as he showed signs of regret and even some shock.

"Displacement Technique, you actually know this profound art. This technique was supposedly lost in the cultivation world long ago."

Lin Xuan's expression was cold; he wouldn't explain anything to Zhang Tai Bai. Essence energy flowed within him as he raised the Binding Spirit Ball.

Although Displacement Technique wasn't as miraculous as Instantaneous Movement, it could indeed be a life-saving high-level skill in critical moments.

The reason this technique had been lost was due to its extreme difficulty to master. Fortunately, Nine Heavens Profound Art was passed down from ancient times, and there were records of it within the text.

Seeing an opportunity, Lin Xuan spent considerable effort mastering it. However, such a skill was incredibly hard to learn. He hadn't mastered it yet; he had just acted on instinct in desperation, only to succeed mysteriously.

Lin Xuan privately felt relieved but didn't have time to savor his success now.

On the surface, he showed no sign of weakness as he pointed at the Binding Spirit Ball above him. The artifact emitted a burst of light and countless silver threads emerged from it.

"What is this treasure?"

Zhang Tai Bai was almost numb to Lin Xuan's ancient treasures and ignored them. He issued instructions through his divine sense, urging the Holy Beasts to attack quickly.

The White Tiger roared, enveloped in brilliant霞光, rushing towards Lin Xuan.

This suited Lin Xuan perfectly. With a delighted exclamation, "Quickly!" those threads seemed alive as they rushed toward the Holy Beast. The White Tiger's paws struck, and "sizzling" sounds echoed as more claw shadows appeared.

However, unlike before, these silver threads were incredibly tough despite their thin appearance. They couldn't be destroyed by the claw shadows but instead wrapped around the White Tiger's limbs.

The White Tiger roared in anger, its ferocity increasing as it struggled to break free. Lin Xuan didn't release him; he continued pouring his essence energy into the Binding Spirit Ball, summoning more silver threads.

Once again, they reached a stalemate.

Zhang Tai Bai's expression of surprise turned to venomous hatred. Reluctantly, he issued orders for the last Holy Beast to attack.

It was a giant firebird with wings spanning over ten feet. With a flap of its wings, countless fist-sized red fireballs rained down from the sky.

Lin Xuan's expression changed. Although his abilities were far superior to those of his peers, he had reached his limits now.

Controlling so many ancient treasures required immense essence energy and divine sense.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan still had a trump card.

"Mei'er!"

"Yes, Young Master."

A beautiful girl appeared in the air with a melodious cry. Facing the rain of fire, she showed no fear as she opened her mouth and shot out a black light that expanded into a small banner.

With a spell cast on it, an eerie wailing sounded as countless ghostly mists poured out, quickly forming a cloud several acres wide.

More strangely, within this cloud, beast shadows could be seen, as if there were countless beasts hiding inside.

A surge of energy, and countless black light beams shot from the cloud, colliding with the fireballs.

Explosions echoed for miles. Lin Xuan alone held off three Holy Beasts; only Zhu Que remained, but it wasn't a match for Mei'er in one-on-one combat.

Zhang Tai Bai was shocked and angry. In secret, Lin Xuan sighed. If not for an emergency, he wouldn't have wanted Mei'er to intervene.

After all, apart from the Extreme Demon Monarch, he was the second person to possess a ghost pet of Condensation Core stage. This would be too shocking if it became public knowledge; he had to ask Ouyang Qinxin to keep this secret.

However, once she acted, Lin Xuan wouldn't hold back, urging Mei'er to destroy Zhu Que. The monster was the White Crane Sword Immortal's own divine treasure. Destroying it would surely severely injure Zhang Tai Bai.

After these days of cultivation, the Beast Soul Banner had far greater power than ordinary top-grade treasures. Moreover, its transformations were unpredictable, making it hard to guard against.

"Quickly!"

Mei'er pointed at the ghost banner, and several dozen meter-wide, bright black light blades shot out from the cloud.

Elemental energy was opposite in nature; Zhu Que, being fire, faced a threat from these light blades. It tried to dodge but Mei'er had anticipated this with a spell cast.

Pfft! More green fireballs of head size flew out.

Green Bone Inferno!

Far away, Zhang Tai Bai's face showed shock. This was a technique that even a High Rank Ghost King could use, yet the young ghost girl in front clearly hadn't reached Condensation Core stage. How could she use it? Was it due to that strange magical treasure?

PS: Sorry for today's discomfort; just one chapter.
