第四卷 七星岛 第六百七十章 灭杀苦大师

They say that even clay figures have three parts of fiery nature. And Master Pain, being an old monster at the Essence Core stage who had turned from a Buddha to a demon, was naturally prone to outbursts.

Due to his severe injuries, he had no choice but to repeatedly endure the situation. However, this guy before him was clearly overstepping boundaries.

A tiger that doesn't show its strength is truly treated like a sick cat!

A look of disdain flashed across Pain's face as he stretched out his hand and forcefully struck his chest. A stream of essence blood shot out from his mouth.

Once the essence blood separated from his body, it rapidly expanded into a sharp bone spear. The surface was adorned with countless black talisman inscriptions, making it appear extremely mysterious.

"Go!"

A bloody aura surged as this bone spear pierced through the sky like lightning and stabbed towards the opponent.

Lin Xuan's遁光 slightly slowed down; he couldn't underestimate this resentful strike. He stretched out his hand and tapped on a storage bag, instantly producing a shield the size of a palm in his palm.

This shield was made from white bones with an eerie aura. In the center of it, there was a grotesque ghost face.

Three Yin White Bone Shield!

In the battle at the Soggy Ghost Swamp, Lin Xuan had gained quite a bit, such as this shield and the阴阳扇.

A spell hit it, causing the shield to suddenly expand. The ghost face opened its mouth and released a yin wind that enveloped Lin Xuan.

"Hmm!"

Pain's face was filled with surprise. This Three Yin White Bone Shield should belong to some old monster from the Soggy Ghost Swamp. Why had it ended up in this kid's hands? But he didn't have time to ponder these matters; his figure turned, and he tried to escape again.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The demon snake transformed from碧幻幽火 had been lurking nearby and immediately leaped out at the old monster.

Its momentum was like lightning, swiftly arriving in front of the old monster. Pain couldn't avoid it, but he didn't take this insignificant demon fire seriously either.

With a snort, he raised his left hand, which was enveloped by surging demonic energy, and grabbed at the fiery snake.

Lin Xuan's lips curled with mockery. This old monster deserved such misfortune. With severe injuries, his divine sense had also been greatly affected; otherwise, he wouldn't have failed to see the power of this碧幻幽火...

"Ahh!"

Contact between them not only failed to stop the demonic energy but instead intensified it, igniting instantly.

Without any obstruction, the fire snake quickly entered Pain's body.

A piercing scream filled the air as Pain, if at his peak, might have managed to withstand a bit with his own cultivation, but now he turned into a burning figure.

The sudden incident left several Core Formation stage cultivators staring in shock. Lin Xuan didn't pay attention to them; instead, his gaze was fixed on the burning figure.

With a thud, flames burst forth as Pain's body shattered into pieces. However, a black light quickly emerged from the flames.

Despite its speed, Lin Xuan could still see it clearly—it was a tiny figure about two inches in size.

An Essence Core!

Unlike other cultivators, an old monster at the Essence Core stage wasn't considered fallen even if they lost their physical body; they could reincarnate with their Essence Core.

But now, Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't let him escape.

From his sleeve, a talisman fell into his palm—the Nine Heaven Moon Ring.

The Essence Core's face was filled with malice as it tightly held the storage bag in its hands. With a flash of spiritual light, it strangely teleported several dozen feet away.

Teleportation!

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes; this was one of the most troublesome skills for an Essence Core. He immediately summoned his法宝 and threw it out.

This talisman vanished from its original place as well. Soon after, a terrifying and fearful voice rang out. The Essence Core fell from mid-air, with a small ring around its waist.

"Impossible... What kind of treasure is this that can break my teleportation technique!" the Essence Core's face was filled with malice, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Hmph." Lin Xuan had no interest in explaining anything to him. He flicked his wrist; the Nine Heaven Moon Ring emitted a cold light and instantly froze the Essence Core.

He then waved his hand again, bringing it back into his palm.

Dual-attribute talismans were indeed useful. After forming his魔婴, Lin Xuan was gradually beginning to unleash their formidable powers.

With a forceful grip, several sword qi shots emerged, freezing the Essence Core and leaving only the storage bag behind. Without hesitation, Lin Xuan took it in hand.

The entire process happened so quickly that from Pain's Essence Core emerging to being frozen by Lin Xuan, it was just a blink of an eye.

When those cultivators finally reacted, everything had already ended.

Lin Xuan looked at his storage bag with joy on his face. This was an unexpected victory against a powerful enemy, and the storage bag of an Essence Core cultivator would surely bring him great wealth.

Of course, he couldn't take the time to clean up now because those cultivators had stealthily approached and were all eyeing his storage bag greedily.

Lin Xuan frowned; these people relentlessly pursued Pain not just out of orders but also wanted to reclaim some treasure from the old monster's hands.

Now that the storage bag was in his possession, it was no wonder they wouldn't let him go easily.

Unlike Pain, Lin Xuan was fully rested and thus had nothing to fear from those Core Formation stage cultivators.

He floated mid-air with a neutral expression.

Seeing Lin Xuan's fearless attitude, those cultivators were somewhat uncertain. Although the cultivation level he displayed was only late-stage Core Formation, his methods for killing Pain left them feeling uneasy.

Although they outnumbered him, it wasn't wise to rashly engage this strange enemy.

Despite their low cultivation levels, these opponents gave them a sense of profound mystery.

"May I ask your name, friend? I am Lei Bao from the Outer Hall of the Soggy Ghost Lake. Thank you for your assistance," said the ring-eyed cultivator, his voice hoarse as he bowed.

Lin Xuan frowned; this person appeared rough but was actually cunning. By introducing himself, he had clearly revealed his identity.

The Soggy Ghost Lake was one of the Nine Great Forces in the Cloud Sea region. Their actions carried a threatening tone.

Unfortunately for Lin Xuan, it held no use to him.

"I am Li Yaotian, just an ordinary cultivator. I have a grudge with that old Pain, so there's nothing heroic about my actions; it was simply taking advantage of his misfortune," said Lin Xuan with a neutral expression.

"Friend, you jest," Lei Bao's expression froze as he seemed slightly uncomfortable when Lin Xuan spoke so openly.

"Regardless, we are grateful to our fellow cultivators for your assistance."
