第四卷 七星岛 第八百二十章 尸魔护主

Each of them stood eight feet tall, towering and imposing. They held various weapons such as swords, spears, and daggers in their hands.

Lin Xuan's brows involuntarily arched. This was the second time he had witnessed Snow Fox Princess using a传承秘术 (Inherited Secret Technique). It was vastly different from her solo battle against the Phoenix, yet equally awe-inspiring.

He couldn't help but feel amazed at how powerful that玄清壶 (Clear and Pure Vase) must be. Even with his deep-seated composure, he couldn't hide his eagerness, a bit dazzled by its potential.

However, Lin Xuan quickly put aside such thoughts. With the enemy on high alert, it wasn't the time to indulge in greed.

After trapping Warmke, the ancient demon focused most of its attention on Lin Xuan. Now, it intended to take them down one by one. Although this young man was only at the early stage of元婴期 (Incubation Core Stage), his treasures and techniques were formidable. As long as he could eliminate this young man, the other two would be no match.

The ancient demon's plan seemed sound. Despite Warmke possessing inherited treasures, he still found the unassuming youth to be the most troublesome. As for Yue Xianfeng, a high-ranking cultivator without his physical body, what trouble could he possibly cause?

Seeing the ancient demon's fierce gaze fixed on him, Lin Xuan, with extensive experience in battling others, discerned the situation from its demeanor.

He inwardly cursed and ranted, but unwilling to wait for death, opened his mouth and spat out the碧幻幽火 (Illusory Green Flame).

However, it wasn't a simple attack against the ancient demon. Instead, it flew towards the short sword Qinghuo, which hovered in front of him. A different reading experience.

This sword's offensive power was formidable, and Lin Xuan intended to use it as a breakthrough from the front.

When he first consecrated this treasure, he had used this demonic flame, making them naturally blend seamlessly together.

The blade was wrapped in the greenish-black flames, looking ominous.

Lin Xuan gritted his teeth, a look of fierce determination crossing his face. He shouted like thunder and pointed at the sword.

At the same time, a flicker of light appeared as the Qinghuo Sword vanished from its original position.

Then it inexplicably materialized in front of the ancient demon, shining brightly before slashing down with all its might.

Though only an inch-long short sword, that strike seemed to cleave through the heavens and divide the ancient demon into two halves.

However, Lin Xuan's face did not show any joy. Instead, he quickly moved his body, performing the Nine Heavens Microstep Technique, floating several feet away.

The ancient demon was no easy target to destroy. The one Lin Xuan had just killed was merely a residual image left behind by him.

This fellow's cultivation level was truly formidable. He must have secretly employed the Golden Cicada Shell Evasion technique, and Lin Xuan's divine sense had been deceived.

Fortunately, his combat experience was rich enough for him to promptly activate the Nine Heavens Microstep Technique. A thick black shadow pierced through where he had stood, revealing that the ancient demon Galar had hidden its tail underground and snuck up from behind to attack.

How dangerous!

Lin Xuan sucked in a cold breath.

This cunning demon was indeed extremely vicious, almost falling into his trap.

"Ah?" An astonished voice entered his ears. The ancient demon rolled its eyes with an expression of surprise on its face. His attack had been dodged, and the concealment technique he just used was no less than teleportation in terms of speed. Did they have any idea what they were dealing with? A condensation core cultivator at the early stage shouldn't be so troublesome.

However, the ancient demon's initial surprise quickly turned to joy as his expression became calm.

It didn't matter how formidable the opponent was; he would never escape from his grasp. The more extraordinary his techniques, the more essence and life force were stored in his body and spirit core.

With this thought, the ancient demon extended its tongue, licking its lips with a greedy look.

Lin Xuan felt a bit uneasy. This was an unprecedented formidable enemy. He must be cautious; any mistake could result in his demise here.

Recalling this, Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve, and a shield about the size of a palm flew out before him. Made from white bones, it had a grotesque face at its center, exuding an eerie aura.

It spun around Lin Xuan's body.

However, even with this, Lin Xuan was still unsatisfied. The Qinghuo Sword flew back and was grasped in his hand. The碧幻幽火 (Illusory Green Flame) burned fiercely as he flipped his right hand and took out a stack of talismans.

This young man had many treasures indeed.

The ancient demon Galar frowned, unwilling to continue wasting energy, as it would be detrimental for the subsequent breaking of the Heavenly罡伏魔阵 (Heavenly Firmament Demonic Suppression Array).

A fight was inevitable!

With this thought, he waved his hands, and a layer of illusory images appeared. Behind him, faint light resembling Buddha's radiance flickered, but it was gray-black, obviously corrupted by demonic energy.

Then the ancient demon opened its mouth and roared loudly.

A black sound wave shot out from its mouth!

It didn't need to be said; this was the ultimate power of the Buddhist Lion Roar.

Lin Xuan felt a strange sensation. He had never faced a high-ranking practitioner of the Buddhist sect before, yet his first encounter with their divine techniques was on this demon.

However, that thought flashed through his mind briefly as he focused on the battle.

He pointed at it and cast a spell, causing the Three Yin White Bone Shield to suddenly expand. The grotesque face opened its mouth, emitting a cold wind that enveloped Lin Xuan.

The sound wave silently approached!

Lin Xuan felt a sharp pain in his head as if struck by a heavy hammer, his body feeling light-headed, and his magical energy failing to rise. He was alarmed, realizing the Buddhist Lion Roar could almost bypass the defenses of even a treasure.

This situation was dire; he lost his initial advantage with just this one strike. The ancient demon's lips curled into a sinister smile as it vanished from its original position on a black lotus platform.

Danger!

Even though his divine sense couldn't pinpoint the demon's whereabouts, Lin Xuan knew it must be closing in to launch a devastating attack.

With his body almost devoid of magical energy, he could not even consider setting up any defenses. He was trapped in a desperate situation.

For an ordinary Incubation Core cultivator, their downfall would be certain. However, Lin Xuan wasn't easily defeated.

In the next instant, Galar appeared three feet away from Lin Xuan. With a hand reaching out, it transformed into a black demonic claw with sharp nails that flashed with cold light as they aimed for his heart.

Lin Xuan's body was still numb, but he could still mobilize some divine essence to shout:

"Quickly!"

His waist pouch suddenly opened, releasing countless gray-white corpse qi. A figure emerged, revealing the Corpse Demon.

Its fangs were exposed, and its body was thin and withered—clearly a Corpse Demon.

Unfortunately, it had lost both arms after the destruction of the Qilin Ancient Cave. Lin Xuan hadn't had time to repair them, so he didn't intend to use this demon for battle. However, in times of crisis, there were no other considerations.

The Corpse Demon roared loudly and bravely stood before its master.
