第四卷 七星岛 第七百一十五章 李代桃僵之术

Unfortunately, it was too late. The melodious laughter carried on the wind. Before their eyes, the three beautiful faces of the women vanished.

Red Ribbon extended her delicate fingers and pointed at the only remaining beautiful face in front of her. The fingers lengthened like a snake, reaching out from dozens of feet away within an instant.

"Go!" White Deer Immortal Boy shouted. The green mist surged forward, revealing hundreds of tentacles that looked like emerald jade, each about as thick as a bowl and covered with sharp thorns.

The light screen trembled but quickly returned to its original shape, just like ripples on the surface of a lake after a stone was thrown in.

White Deer Immortal Boy's expression turned pale. How formidable this woman was! The defense of that silk hand talisman was even stronger than he had imagined. But he did not retreat; his determination only grew fiercer as he flicked his fingers, extending more green magical whips from the mist to attack fiercely.

Meanwhile, Black Python Lady's spell was even more bizarre. Her arm stretched out dozens of feet and seemed like a ghostly snake without bones. She twisted mid-air, dodging the light screen and attacking through an opening on the side.

This woman's heart was as venomous as a snake. Her five fingers formed claws and plunged viciously towards Red Ribbon Immortal's abdomen.

The situation was dangerous! The two worked in perfect harmony to block all of Red Ribbon Immortal's escape routes.

Three元婴期 cultivators, acting together, the scene was naturally impressive. Moreover, Red Ribbon had just expended a lot of energy fighting Yellow Pillar Immortal earlier!

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes. This proud woman was at her most perilous moment!

However, despite her changed expression, Lin Xuan could sense no fear in her eyes. Could she still have some backup?

He found the situation intriguing. Such battles between元婴 cultivators were rare to see; it would be beneficial to observe.

But then, Lin Xuan's jaw dropped in shock.

Red Ribbon Immortal did not move. Two dull thuds echoed as Black Python Lady's sharp claws pierced her abdomen and the yellow light beam went right through her chest.

"Is this... too easy?"

Lin Xuan was not alone in his surprise; even those who had succeeded looked puzzled. Was it really that simple to defeat an元婴中期 cultivator?

Their thoughts were interrupted by another crack as Red Ribbon Immortal's light screen was breached. Dozens of green magical whips wrapped tightly around the "seriously injured" Red Ribbon Immortal.

White Deer Immortal Boy's face lit up with joy, but he quickly turned alarmed and even fearful: "No good! Quickly dodge; this is a substitution technique!"

"What?" Black Python Lady and the one-eyed old man also froze. They hurriedly retreated.

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed as Red Ribbon Immortal's body self-destructed, releasing terrifying energy like a tidal wave towards all directions...

Many low-ranking cultivators were incinerated instantly.

The survivors fell silent in realization that they had been fighting元婴期 monsters; the spectacle was not so entertaining after all.

"Master, did Red Ribbon escape?" Moon's voice entered his ears.

"Yes." Lin Xuan nodded. Substitution technique was a secret art similar to puppetry. It involved sacrificing a talisman connected to one's mind and spirit as a substitute for oneself in dangerous situations.

Although the creation of such puppets was complex and rare, substitution techniques were simpler but still risky; when destroyed, they would harm the caster to some extent.

Lin Xuan silently extended his divine sense northward. Red Ribbon Immortal had taken advantage of the chaos and withdrawn.

But White Deer Immortal Boy would not let her escape so easily. How could he allow this woman to flee?

With a fierce shout, bat-like wings sprouted from his back.

Jade transformation!

In an instant, his figure vanished, transforming into a streak of brown light that pursued at astonishing speed.

Lin Xuan was dumbfounded. His speed was impressive; though not as fast as instantaneous teleportation, it far exceeded ordinary元婴 cultivators. Even advanced cultivators might not match him.
