第四卷 七星岛 第六百九十二章 似曾相识的秘术

Several dozen ghostly bone forks flashed with cold light.

"Go!"

Lin Xuan pointed at the array disk, and the ghostly bone forks instantly shot out like arrows from a powerful bow, lashing towards the yellow cloud cluster with a fierce wind and thunder.

The ghosts didn't hold back either, opening their blood-stained mouths to reveal sharp fangs as they bit down on another end of the cloud cluster.

A double attack!

If this strange spell couldn't be broken, it would be hard to believe. But at that moment, a deafening roar echoed, and the yellow mist began to churn violently. A strong wind blew through, revealing the true form of the monsters inside.

The creature was enormous, with legs like pillars supporting the sky. The most striking feature was its black, transparent shell in the north, adorned with intricate ancient patterns that seemed like primordial relics from an age long past.

Lin Xuan's expression changed as he stared at the monster in disbelief.

Xuanwu!

A legendary spirit beast of legend...

So these must be the others...

Lin Xuan looked around, and what he saw matched his suspicions perfectly. But he wished he hadn't guessed correctly.

To the left was a majestic green dragon over ten meters long. To the right stood a mighty white tiger with piercing eyes that locked onto Lin Xuan's form.

The last one was a flaming phoenix.

Four holy beasts!

Even in the spirit realm, these creatures were dominant monsters. The ones before him weren't their true forms, and Lin Xuan couldn't help grinning as he thought of the trouble this would cause.

This scene was too familiar; he had encountered it once before, during his confrontation with the Sword Immortal Tai Bai in the occupied zone. When the opponent ran out of tricks, they used this spell, which, though incomplete, still caused him significant trouble.

What a coincidence! According to Lin Xuan's knowledge, this divine technique was a closely guarded secret from Bichun Mountain and had nothing to do with the Red Silk Fairy who hailed from Cloud Sea. It was just that their secret techniques were similar in nature.

Unlucky, why did I have to encounter it twice!

Lin Xuan inwardly cursed. As an advanced-stage元婴 cultivator, this divine technique performed by the Red Silk Fairy had no comparison to the Sword Immortal Tai Bai's power.

The opponent didn't hesitate; they clearly wanted his life.

Lin Xuan's expression was grim, but a cold smile played on his lips as he reached into his waistband and brought out a pouch.

Dark winds howled, and a tall figure appeared before the Red Silk Fairy. Standing nearly two meters tall, his appearance was grotesque with a mouth full of sharp fangs, exuding an aura that rivaled even an advanced-stage元婴 cultivator.

"What is this...a spirit demon? Impossible, your cultivation level shouldn't be able to control such terrifying creatures," the Red Silk Fairy exclaimed in shock, her face showing no trace of her previous arrogance.

If it had just been Lin Xuan, she might have still had confidence. But with an early-stage元婴 spirit demon added, things were looking grim!

But now that this was settled, there was no room for negotiation. The Red Silk Fairy's expression quickly turned calm and composed as she extended her hand to her chest and began chanting.

Roar!

The Xuanwu raised its head and let out a deafening roar. From its mouth, a milky white light column shot forth, not too thick, about the width of a meter.

But wherever it passed, all the evil mists were swept away as if encountering an enemy. The ghosts tried to stop them but were easily pierced through their chests.

This light column had a dispelling effect on evil spirits.

Lin Xuan frowned; seeing that the light column was only a few meters from him, he surprisingly retracted his Three Yin White Bone Shield.

The Red Silk Fairy's eyes widened in confusion as she didn't understand what Lin Xuan was doing.

A flash of green light, and all traces of demonic energy vanished. In its place, a solemn figure appeared, with a golden talisman falling onto his palm.

Exhaling a bit of spirit energy, the talisman ignited on its own, and in Lin Xuan's hand, a golden flame materialized.

The flames swayed into a thin golden light curtain that was dazzlingly bright.

Next moment, the milky white light column swept across. Two different colors of spirit energies collided...

Silently, the milky white light dispersed without touching a single hair on Lin Xuan.

"You..."

The Red Silk Fairy's expression showed both anger and disbelief as she couldn't understand how someone from the demonic path could suddenly use Taoist techniques.

How did he manage to reconcile these opposites?

Lin Xuan didn't give her time to think. He sent his divine consciousness to the spirit demon, which opened its mouth, spewing out a torrent of foul gas containing deadly toxins that surged towards the four holy beasts.

Advanced-stage元婴 necromancy was no small feat, and since they weren't true spirit realm holy beasts, Lin Xuan didn't dare be complacent. The flaming phoenix took the brunt of it; its form flickered as if vanishing into thin air. This creature had mastered a concealment technique.

"Mei'er, that monster is yours."

A slender figure appeared before him, and Lin Xuan handed her the array disk. With the禁制 and Beast Soul Flag, Mei'er should be able to hold her own even if she lost.

"Yes!"

She smiled slightly as she waved the magic flag in her hand, quickly vanishing into thin air.

Like the phoenix, she was playing hide-and-seek, but this game was extremely dangerous at present.

On the other side, the spirit demon used its strength alone to engage the remaining three holy beasts in combat.

The white tiger's front paw struck out, creating several strange shadows in mid-air. The spirit demon's expression remained unchanged as it fearlessly lunged forward.

Black energy flashed, dispelling most of the shadow claws. Even those that managed to slip through, the body of an advanced-stage元婴 necromancer was incredibly hard, causing only minor injuries at worst.

But within a blink, the spirit demon had moved close enough, less than a few feet from the white tiger. With a snarl, it raised its arms and stretched out two withered claws, each as sharp as iron hooks.

The white tiger was taken aback; though the secret technique used by the Red Silk Fairy far surpassed that of the Sword Immortal Tai Bai, even without being true spirit realm holy beasts, the white tiger's original form was a transformed beast with some level of intelligence. The heavy presence of foul gas also made it feel somewhat fearful. It couldn't dodge in time.

The white tiger turned its body and extended its front paw forward.

Despite their size difference, it felt like trying to shake a tree with an ant. But the result was completely different; the spirit demon showed no intention of clashing directly with the white tiger. With a flash, it vanished from sight.

Puff!

Blood splattered as one of its claws plunged into the white tiger's forehead.
