第三卷 幽州乱 第五百三十三章 聪明反被聪明误

Suddenly, Elder Hu's expression froze. Although he had realized that Fire Twin Rings were extraordinary, he never expected their power to be so extreme.

The yellow cloth did not look impressive at first glance, but it was actually a top-grade ancient treasure. In the past, it often achieved remarkable feats in battles with others. Unexpectedly, it was destroyed by the opponent just after one exchange of blows.

His gaze met Lin Xuan's, and Elder Hu felt a chill run down his spine as he raised his hand, sending out several dozen talismans that transformed into various colored light orbs, rushing towards Lin Xuan.

Ordinary condensation core cultivators rarely carried talismans. However, this Elder Hu was cunning; while lower-grade spirit talismans might not match the power of a treasure artifact, they were extremely useful, especially for escape, where they could create unexpected advantages.

Though these talismans couldn't harm Lin Xuan, at least they would slightly impede him.

The transformation of the forbidden grand array was complete. No matter how powerful this young master was, he could only watch helplessly as Spirit Medicine Mountain was destroyed.

Elder Hu's eyes gleamed with a cruel satisfaction as he heard the explosive sounds behind him. Despite his urgency to escape, he couldn't resist turning around for a glance. This look changed his expression dramatically.

Behind him, light flashed wildly and an overwhelming wave of energy erupted. Lin Xuan didn’t deploy any defensive measures but pursued him boldly.

It was because both the ancient shield and the protective barrier would slow down his flight. Lin Xuan wanted to kill this enemy without using such means.

The eight talismans he had released were all fire and lightning attributes, with four transforming into over a hundred fist-sized red fire ants, while the rest turned into golden lightning bolts, viciously rushing towards him. Their combined power was comparable to a condensation core cultivator at the peak of their cultivation using a refined treasure artifact for a full attack.

However, Lin Xuan paid no heed. The Ice Fire Twin Rings whirled around him ceaselessly, and he flicked two hand seals. With a sharp command: "Quickly!"

Silver light flashed, one of the rings abruptly stopped. Spirit energy flowed, instantly turning it a vivid red.

Spinning rapidly, this ring grew several times larger, spewing out fiery flames that met the aggressive fire ants. The ants quickly showed signs of fear and were soon assimilated by the true fire from the ring.

Five elements magic; if the attributes matched, the stronger one would prevail. Lin Xuan had crafted this treasure using Southward Bright Departure Fire, a miraculous substance.

Though his spirit energy was insufficient, in terms of quality, this fire did not fall short of the old monsters' infant fires. Tiny fire ant talismans were no match for it.

On the other side, golden lightning also appeared.

Lin Xuan ignored them, but in front of him, a fiery sea suddenly transformed into several grotesque creatures resembling giant toads from the mortal world. Opening their mouths, they spat out thick flames as wide as an arm. Lightning and fire clashed briefly; the red quickly gained the upper hand.

The entire process was lightning-fast, yet Lin Xuan's flight did not pause. Silver light flashed before Elder Hu’s eyes, and Lin Xuan appeared right in front of him.

This time, even with his vast cunning, he felt panic rising within him.

His various techniques were clearly no match for Lin Xuan. He hadn’t expected this young man to be so formidable.

Fight? Not a match. Run? It seemed there was no way out.

Elder Hu opened his mouth, trying to use smooth talk, but his only hope now lay in his eloquent tongue. Unfortunately, Lin Xuan wasn't easily fooled.

He had already seen through Elder Hu’s true nature and had no patience for his words.

Clenching his fist, he channeled all his spirit energy into the dancing treasure rings, which began to emit a silver glow. However, this was followed by an avalanche of ice and snow.

"No… impossible, a bi-elemental treasure artifact, how can you have…"

If it had been panic before, now Elder Hu’s eyes revealed a madness as he approached collapse. He was not only highly skilled but also well-traveled.

Bi-elemental treasure artifacts?

These were not the domain of ordinary cultivators; could this young master be…

As the saying goes, fear can drive one to self-deception. If it had been an ignorant brute, despite his fear, he might have mustered enough courage to fight back. However, Elder Hu's downfall lay in his extensive knowledge.

Could the Ice Fire Twin Rings belong to a senior at the separation stage who was playing the role of a simpleton?

According to common sense, late-stage infant immortals should be the pinnacle of this world. But it was said that reaching the separation stage required enduring three minor heavenly tribulations.

If these seniors couldn't make it, they would choose to remain in this world, often keeping a low profile and going unnoticed.

Thinking about how Lin Xuan had only been at the foundation establishment stage for such a short time, yet he had condensed his golden core and possessed unparalleled techniques. With mid-stage cultivation, he easily outmatched Elder Hu, who was at the peak of his abilities.

This defied common sense.

But if he were indeed a senior at the separation stage, all this would make perfect sense…

With this thought, Elder Hu's heart turned cold, losing any will to fight. Kneeling down, he began to bang his head on the ground: "Senior, spare my life! Senior, spare my life! This is all a misunderstanding; I dare not offend your majesty…"

Lin Xuan was stunned. Though shrewd, he couldn’t immediately understand what Elder Hu was up to. If this performance was meant to make him underestimate his opponent, it seemed excessive. Moreover, Lin Xuan noticed fear in his eyes.

This man had been biding his time and潜伏在灵药山数百年,还混到了执法长老这样的高位。说他是枭雄也不为过,难道他这么胆小?

看着他的表情,除了恐惧,还有讨好的意味,让林轩更加摸不着头脑了。不过他也无心深究,当作这家伙神经失常好了。

右手一掐,指尖飞出一片光霞,没入身前的银环后,附近的雪花变得越来越密集。

“去!”

林 Xuan 一点指,这些雪花旋转聚在一起,一头威武的冰雪恶蛟出现了,张开大口狠狠地咬向对方。
