第四卷 七星岛 第八百四十二章 两败俱伤

This Yellow Eyebrow True Man was somewhat overconfident.

It wasn't surprising. Although he had suffered greatly at Lin Xuan's hands, deep down, he believed it was due to the opponent's formidable treasures and techniques rather than his own inadequacies. He didn’t place much importance on other abilities.

After all, there was only a superficial difference between middle and late-stage cultivators, but their actual strength was incomparable. He simply did not take Lin Xuan seriously.

The Golden Horned Fire Serpent was the true adversary!

Vice-Abbot Yellow Eyebrow’s thoughts were correct; however, Lin Xuan was no ordinary peer-level cultivator.

That Banana Fan was indeed a top-grade treasure! Otherwise, why would he have kept it for himself?

Two strange winds of different colors didn’t seem particularly impressive at first glance. But as they approached within several feet from the Yellow Eyebrow True Man, a burst of light suddenly appeared, transforming into one black and one white dragon.

Simultaneously, an aura of ferocity emerged. The Yellow Eyebrow True Man was shocked; it was too late to dodge now. His protective spiritual light alone couldn’t withstand the tearing of two vicious dragons.

But he was no ordinary cultivator with a reputation spanning hundreds of years. He couldn't sit idly by. Taking a deep breath, a flame as thick as his arm shot out from him.

This was the primordial fire he had cultivated for countless years.

Immediately after, it transformed into a blazing curtain in front of the two dragons.

Crackling sounds filled the air as both dragons entered the fiery curtain and were instantly reduced to nothingness. However, the Yellow Eyebrow True Man’s expression was not much better. This wasn’t ordinary primordial fire; there was still some essence blood and true energy within it, which gave it such terrifying power.

The great cultivator’s heart relaxed as he prepared to fly away. Suddenly, something unimaginable happened. The golden horned fire serpent let out a mournful cry before writhing in pain mid-air. The flames on its body turned an eerie green, and the bird-like creature burst forth from its belly.

"How is this possible? Although this beast’s rank isn’t high, it naturally possesses spells to counter various demonic flames. Even during his battle with Snow Fox King, it had significant effects. This guy..."

Just as he thought this, a spirit bird transformed from the碧幻幽火 rushed towards him. There was nowhere to hide; reluctantly, the Yellow Eyebrow True Man pushed forward with all his might. Of course, his entire palm was enveloped in thick spiritual light.

The two collided, sparks flying everywhere. The spiritual light on his hand was quickly eroded! Pain flashed across his face.

He grunted as he prepared to use another technique. But the碧幻幽火 suddenly expanded wildly and enveloped him entirely.

The Yellow Eyebrow True Man was both shocked and enraged; his body froze momentarily. This delay allowed the Golden Horned Old Monster, who didn’t miss a beat, to rush forward.

He waved his hands, changing hand seals rapidly. Then he opened his mouth and shot out a golden beam.

Lin Xuan could see that it was a sword about half a foot long. Instead of attacking, it circled around the Golden Horned Old Monster’s arm before severing part of his forearm.

Self-mutilation technique!

Such abilities were usually formidable.

Of course, cultivators wouldn’t easily use them; the cost was too high. But since the Golden Horned Old Monster didn’t hesitate to sacrifice his lifespan, this body wasn’t worth much.

After using a red powder skull talisman, he wouldn’t live long anyway.

Next, the Golden Horned Old Monster spat out a mouthful of essence blood and wrapped it around the severed arm. The two quickly fused together, releasing an overwhelming aura of ferocity.

In the bloodlight, the severed arm transformed into a strange-looking treasure. At first glance, it resembled a war club, but upon closer inspection, a bright axe blade was embedded on its surface.

The Golden Horned Old Monster held this treasure with one hand and rushed forward. With his right hand, he swung down viciously.

Still trapped by the碧幻幽火, the Yellow Eyebrow True Man couldn’t escape. Seeing this, he was utterly terrified.

There was no place to hide!

But he didn’t disappoint as a ruthless character. Under the influence of ferocity, his cheeks bulged, and his spiritual energy surged wildly.

"This is... not good!"

Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed in fear. Two old monsters wanted to fight to the death; he had no interest in being caught in the crossfire.

He immediately poured all his magical power into the Bird Golden Dragon Shield and used Nine Heavens Microstep, retreating at a breathtaking speed.

This technique was only slightly inferior to teleportation. With a flick of his mind, Lin Xuan was already over a hundred feet away.

Rumbling sounds came from behind as he saw no way to avoid it. The Yellow Eyebrow True Man self-destructed his body. A great cultivator’s spiritual energy was formidable; even the Golden Horned Old Monster's extremely defensive technique couldn’t withstand it. Countless red threads pierced through his body like arrows.

Lin Xuan sighed. Without his assistance, the Golden Horned Old Monster would never have been a match for the Yellow Eyebrow True Man. But this mutual destruction outcome was most advantageous to him.

A smile appeared on his lips.

鹬蚌相争,渔翁得利. Lin Xuan wasn’t cold-hearted; he had no grudge against these old monsters.

Then, from the bloodlight, a baby ghost emerged, about an inch in size.

The Yellow Eyebrow True Man didn’t want to die so easily. If he found a suitable body, he could still possess it.

This was truly like trying to steal chickens but losing your own hands! Was that old monster’s announcement of releasing a powerful treasure just to lure him into the trap?

Total nonsense!

He thought bitterly as he glared at Lin Xuan with venomous eyes. Then he used teleportation.

Of course, Lin Xuan wouldn’t let him escape. He took out another space technique treasure and waved it, breaking through his opponent’s spell.

The baby ghost stumbled out, finally showing fear on its face. Beside it was a desiccated monster.

Corpse Demon!

Lin Xuan had secretly released this creature to ambush the Yellow Eyebrow True Man’s baby ghost.

The demon opened its mouth, spewing out pale flames. Then it waved its hands, creating countless claw shadows in mid-air. Lin Xuan also activated his divine consciousness, transforming the碧幻幽火 into tiny threads of fire like a net, falling down from above.

The baby ghost was greatly alarmed; he couldn’t withstand these attacks. A determined look appeared on his small face as his entire body became transparent and vanished instantly.

What secret technique is this? Lin Xuan was puzzled. However, the Corpse Demon moved strangely. It wasn't controlled by him but acted instinctively. Its hands extended, and several tentacles emerged from its demon arms.
