第四卷 七星岛 第八百一十七章 鬼脸与银龙

"Unladylike!"

Lin Xuan's expression changed dramatically. He hadn't expected to be observed by the other party in such a manner. Without hesitation, he flashed away and retreated to the side.

Yuhua, as the Snow Fox Princess, was also an astute individual. She took a few light steps and similarly moved quickly to retreat to one side.

Boom!

Almost simultaneously with their retreat, a strange object about the thickness of an arm emerged from beneath Lin Xuan's feet, resembling a whip.

How close we came!

Lin Xuan sucked in a cold breath as he focused his gaze. The object extended from behind the black-robed monk and appeared like his tail.

This guy is also a demon or monster, Lin Xuan instantly judged. His entire body was enveloped in a faint green glow as he opened Nine Heaven Spirit Shield.

Yuhua didn't dally either. With a flick of her jade hand, six crescent-shaped light blades emerged from her body and slowly rotated around. This was also an offensive-defensive artifact.

"Oh, an early-stage Immortal Cultivator and a mid-stage transformed beast. Excellent! It seems that the high-ranking existence that intruded this space is more than I imagined. After consuming you both, I should be able to break through the Heaven's Sealed Demonic Array and leave this sealed area," Grolu Ancient Demon licked his lips with a cold smile on his face.

"Consuming our Immortal Nuclei?"

Lin Xuan frowned as suspicion arose in his heart.

"My friend, be cautious. This demon not only devours souls but also fuses the bodies of cultivators. My body was eaten by him, and this demon's escape technique is unique. You two shouldn't even think about escaping. Let's join forces and fight this guy," the Immortal Nucleus's eyes flickered as he slowly spoke. The venom in his voice made Lin Xuan turn his head.

"Who are you?"

"I am Elder Master Yue Xianfeng of the Azure Phoenix Sect."

Could this be the great cultivator I met by the Cold Pond?

Lin Xuan remained calm on the surface but was secretly pondering. Fighting demons together? What a joke! Although he didn't know how the body of the leader of the Azure Phoenix Sect was destroyed, he could see from this demon's abilities that it wasn't an easy task.

Lin Xuan was not weak, nor would he take unnecessary risks. Fighting such a demon wouldn't bring any benefits; are you stupid?

Of course, Lin Xuan didn't say these things out loud. Instead, his face showed righteous indignation: "Eradicating demons and upholding the Dao is our duty. I naturally cannot shirk this responsibility."

Yuhua's expression changed as she listened. Having spent so much time with Lin Xuan, she knew that this young man was far more cunning than she had imagined.

The other party must have some ulterior motive.

She didn't want to fight the demon either but found it difficult to escape alone.

Taking a few light steps, she stood beside Lin Xuan.

The Immortal Nucleus's heart leaped with joy. If it were him, he might struggle to escape from the demon's hands. But now, there were two "fools" here to help.

Unfortunately, this great cultivator underestimated things too much. Although his abilities fell far short of Lin Xuan's, in terms of cunning... well, human calculations against mine, who knows which side would win. Besides, the other party was merely an early-stage Immortal Nucleus.

Lin Xuan turned around and focused on the black-robed monk.

The other party had a kind face but was surrounded by demon energy. The feeling it gave him was vastly different from previous demons, especially mysterious because he couldn't determine its cultivation stage... Could this guy be at the Separation Stage?

Lin Xuan shivered with cold thoughts. However, quickly shaking his head, he dismissed such an idea. No, although he had never seen a Separation Stage monster before, it was likely much stronger than this one.

If that were true, the Azure Phoenix Sect's Immortal Nucleus wouldn't be able to escape either.

Relieved, Lin Xuan didn't slacken his vigilance. With a wave of his sleeve, the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring flew out and spun around him, enveloped in a layer of silver light.

"Hmm, this is a dual-attribute treasure?"

Grolu Ancient Demon's face showed surprise as he looked at Lin Xuan with a serious gaze mixed with some astonishment: "Such a magical artifact can only be found in the Upper Heavens. Where did you get it from?"

Yue Xianfeng and Yuhua, both experienced, were equally surprised by Grolu's words!

Dual-attribute treasure?

Did this guy really think he was just an early-stage Immortal Cultivator? Regardless, they had no time to delve into such details. The battle was about to begin, and the most dangerous enemy now was the ancient demon.

The Immortal Nucleus rolled his eyes and opened his mouth, spitting out a stream of green light that grew as it spread, transforming into a three-foot-long sword of light. Later-stage cultivators were different; even without their bodies, they still possessed awe-inspiring magical power.

Grolu Ancient Demon didn't care. The other party was merely food to him. A sneer appeared on his lips, and he made no move but began to release intense demon energy around him, lunging towards Lin Xuan with fangs bared.

What kind of ability is this?

Lin Xuan frowned as he extended a finger without hesitation. The Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring trembled, emitting a ringing sound as bright light burst forth, revealing several fire dragons and ice serpents.

Satisfied, Lin Xuan's mind moved, and the fire dragons and ice serpents lunged forward. Soon, they clashed, with dense explosions echoing in his ears. Although the demon fog was fierce, the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring's power could not be underestimated; the fire dragons and ice serpents gained the upper hand.

However, Grolu Ancient Demon didn't show any surprise on his face. A spell was cast, and the demon fog quickly coalesced in the center, becoming denser until a ghostly face materialized, covering half an acre, looking terrifying.

The ghostly face opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth as grayish-white demonic wind spewed out. Rolling and retracting, it enveloped one of the fire dragons and pulled it back into its mouth.

But with a series of chomps, the demon swallowed the dragon whole.

Lin Xuan was no stranger to such things but had never encountered this brutal technique before. Before he could react, another ice serpent was devoured by the demon.

Frowning, Lin Xuan waved his hands urgently and recited obscure incantations:

"Combine!"

As he moved, the remaining fire dragons and ice serpents gathered together, starting to merge. The dazzling light made everyone turn their heads.

Grolu Ancient Demon's expression finally changed. This was merely an early-stage Immortal Cultivator with a dual-attribute treasure. Not only could he overcome water and fire incompatibility but also perform such feats... this was troublesome!

He didn't wait for Lin Xuan to cast his secret technique. He pointed his finger, and the ghostly face opened its mouth, spewing out a large stream of grayish-white demonic wind, much thicker than before, rushing forward.

But a loud boom echoed in his ears as bright light burst forth. A silver dragon emerged from the light ball, stretching nearly twenty feet long with two heads and four legs. Just a low growl sent the demonic wind scattering.
