第四卷 七星岛 第五百九十六章 光幕

Moon儿 still stood in front of the young master, her expression grim. Master Ku's eyes were filled with cruelty; soon this girl would learn how foolish it was to oppose an Immortal Core cultivator.

"Quickly!"

He extended his hand and pointed at the ghostly staff above him. The artifact immediately swelled as a terrifying spiritual pressure emanated from it.

This, however, was only the beginning. Several techniques were cast by the old monster, causing the ghostly staff to spin and form a hurricane centered around it, growing in size and strength.

Inside the hurricane, one could faintly see piles of white bones and the continuous wails of ghosts. In truth, this was similar to Moon儿's Beast Soul Flag, but its power far surpassed that of hers due to the vast difference in their cultivation stages.

The young girl's face showed a hint of fear, but quickly turned into determination. No matter what, she couldn't allow anyone to harm the young master.

With a wave of her hand, the black cloud transformed back into a demon flag and returned to her hands.

Examining the hurricane before her, Moon儿's eyes flashed with resolve as she opened her mouth and expelled a pink gas.

That was her long-practiced innate essence.

After absorbing it, the Beast Soul Flag turned darkly lustrous.

"Quickly!"

Moon儿 pointed at it, and the demon flag flew to her. It then transformed into a large tiger with wings, fiercely charging towards the hurricane.

"You're asking for death!"

Master Ku's voice was icy as he raised his hand and lightly pressed down. Countless wind blades shot out from his palm.

The tiger didn't back down either, opening its mouth and spraying a black light wave.

But this time, there was a significant difference; Moon儿 faced an old monster at the Immortal Core stage. Once serious, she wasn't a match for him.

The light wave was cut to pieces, and even the tiger's body was swept into the hurricane. Moon儿's face turned pale.

"Stinking girl, now you'll know my might," Master Ku sneered.

Just as it seemed all hope was lost, his eyes suddenly opened wide, his lips curling in a mocking smile. With a flick of his left hand, he activated the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring.

Spiritual light flashed, and several fire dragons and ice serpents flew out.

Boom!

Colliding with the hurricane, Lin Xuan felt a massive force but gritted his teeth and held on, simultaneously sending a mental message: "Moon儿, bring back the demon flag."

"Ah?"

The young girl was taken aback but nodded obediently. With her hands, she conjured, and the tiger's black light split into several strands of dark energy, separating from the hurricane before reassembling.

Without Moon儿's assistance, Lin Xuan alone faced the old monster; the pressure was unimaginable. However, his spiritual energy far surpassed that of the young girl, and with the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring, a dual-attribute artifact, he managed to hold on for now.

Master Ku's expression turned fierce, and the tortoise demon's face became ashen. They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with fear.

These two old monsters had seen too much; what did the fire dragons and ice serpents signify?

Only spirit realm cultivators possessed multi-attribute artifacts, right?

Could it be...

Neither dared to think further, for this boy couldn't possibly have such a background!

The cultivation level of Xingzhao Island was far beyond that of Youzhou. Once, geniuses had broken through the Immortal Core stage, but those few who reached the Separation realm didn't ascend to the spirit realm due to fear of failing the Three Nines Minor Heaven Tribulation and choosing to remain in the mortal world.

However, these old monsters were now focused solely on their cultivation and rarely concerned themselves with external matters.

This boy actually possessed a dual-attribute artifact. Could he have any connection with an old Separation realm cultivator?

Master Ku and the tortoise demon felt some fear.

Of course, they also considered another possibility: this strange double ring was something Lin Xuan had just obtained from the treasure vault on Spirit Herb Mountain.

But after a moment's thought, they dismissed it. Such high-grade artifacts required arduous ritualistic binding to master; he couldn't possibly have acquired one so easily.

This boy must not live!

Otherwise, his behind-the-scenes old monsters would leave them with no place to die.

Master Ku's eyes flashed with ferocity as he pointed forward. The hurricane suddenly roared, and the wails became even more desolate.

The tortoise demon wasn't idle either; seeing this, he couldn't stand by any longer. He slapped his head, and a small black light orb flew out of his mouth, rapidly growing and spinning towards Lin Xuan. The surface of the orb burned with eerie demonic flames.

"Young Master!"

Moon儿's face turned pale as she realized how shameless these two old monsters were—two Immortal Core cultivators bullying a junior.

In contrast, Lin Xuan remained calm, lifting his other hand and murmuring short, ancient-sounding words. The leader's command talisman was activated.

A layer of green light enveloped the jade pendant, spreading out like ripples on water.

Initially, the two old monsters paid no attention; even if this boy had a powerful background, he was merely a Condensation Core cultivator. They believed their combined attack would be enough to kill him.

However, as the green light spread, something strange happened—a layer of light shield appeared between them.

"What is this?"

Master Ku's eyebrows raised as his keen eyesight revealed that the light shield wasn't from the pendant but seemed to have been activated by touching a certain spot.

At the same time, the hurricane tore apart the ice serpents and fire dragons, colliding with the light shield alongside the tortoise demon's attack.

Spiritual light flickered, and the ground began to tremble as dust rose like a fog. Despite the creaking sound, the light shield held firm.

The two old monsters' expressions turned pale, but Lin Xuan relaxed his face. He stowed the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring in his sleeve and called out: "Let's go."

Moon儿 was speechless; her young master truly had good strategies. The situation back then was indeed perilous.

She didn't know that Lin Xuan himself was sweating coldly inside, feeling lucky to have encountered a light shield here. It was purely coincidental; if not for this hidden barrier, the consequences would be hard to predict.

Watching the two figures transform into streaks of light and fly towards the passage ahead, Master Ku and the tortoise demon were fuming with anger. They couldn't let this slippery boy escape; it would mean all their efforts had been in vain, and the results could be unimaginable.

However, they couldn't understand why this young man was connected to the vanished Jade玄宗. There was too much to think about, but now wasn't the time for thorough investigation. The urgent task was to destroy this light shield; both old monsters began their desperate attacks.
