第九十四章 灭火灵掌门

The flames leaped and danced, as white as snow, initially no larger than a fist. However, after the Clear Spirit True Man Zhang opened his mouth to emit a stream of essence qi, they suddenly shot up.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan sneered, reciting a true word and pointing at the Hundred Souls Flag. Immediately, the green demonic flames gathered around the skull's head, while the skeleton kept blowing in阴气.

Green-flamed demonic flames!

The sky was instantly divided into two colors: green and white. Under the illumination of the demonic flames, the skeleton, already blood-red, gained an extra layer of green, making it even more eerie as it rushed forward.

The Fire Spirit Sect Master's face showed a look of anger. He spread his hands apart, then thrust them forward with great force. A beam of white light and a streak of green clashed together.

Thunderous sounds echoed incessantly. Green and white flames continuously surged and blossomed from the sky, while on the other side, Fairy Cloudy Face's face was covered in frost as her sword techniques rapidly changed. The Sword of Autumn Water grew to be seven or eight zhang long, its blade flashing with a chilling light that pressed down relentlessly.

The golden shield before the Fire Spirit Sect Master creaked under the attack from the Sword of Autumn Water and seemed about to give way. Lin Xuan remained calm on the surface but was secretly overjoyed. The high-ranking Foundation Establishment expert must have injuries, unable to fully unleash his power. Seizing this opportunity, Lin Xuan began pumping more essence qi into the Hundred Souls Flag.

He then flipped his hand out, taking a talisman that was slightly larger than usual and depicted a lifelike bird.

"Beast Talisman!"

The Clear Spirit True Man felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He had already grown fearful of Lin Xuan's endless array of magical artifacts.

This wasn't just any ordinary beast talisman; it sealed a first-grade top-grade spirit beast, one that failed to advance. Its strength was now comparable to Foundation Establishment初期 cultivators.

Watching the Fire Spirit Sect Master's shocked and angry expression, Lin Xuan smirked as he patted his chest, revealing a black bead like ink. He flicked his left hand, sending out the zombie pearl formed from a hundred-year-old ghoul. It exploded into a cloud of black mist that gathered but did not disperse, covering several meters around.

An extremely angry roar echoed in the black mist as a yellow light burst forth, dispelling the fog and revealing the Clear Spirit True Man.

However, at this moment, the Fire Spirit Sect Master appeared very disheveled. His entire face had turned a sickly green-gray; he was poisoned by the zombie toxin.

Seeing that his shield could no longer hold, he used an extraordinary teleportation technique to escape. Teleportation involved moving a distance almost instantaneously, consuming negligible time and serving as a life-saving skill for dodging powerful attacks.

Despite its power, this technique had significant drawbacks: it consumed immense amounts of essence qi and lowered the user's cultivation level each time it was used. Few cultivators would use it unless absolutely necessary.

Forced to such a desperate situation by two灵动期 disciples, the Fire Spirit Sect Master was both shocked and angry. Although he didn't want to admit it, Lin Xuan's numerous magical artifacts truly intimidated him. The Clear Spirit True Man decided to lower his pride and use an ambush tactic.

As a sect leader resorting to such lowly tactics, it clearly showed that he had been pushed to the brink of despair due to his injuries, which only allowed him to use partial strength.

However, this time, things went wrong again. The Clear Spirit True Man used concealment techniques, though not particularly powerful, could be detected by a Foundation Establishment cultivator's spiritual sense. He aimed to approach the two without being noticed and launch an assassination.

But human plans often fail against divine arrangements. Although Lin Xuan was a Grand Perfection of Agility, his spiritual sense surpassed that of even a Foundation Establishment初期 cultivator.

To avoid detection, concealment techniques typically didn't reveal the protective shield. However, if attacked by a magical artifact or other spells, the opponent would instantly set up defenses. Thus, Lin Xuan chose the zombie pearl.

The black bead was unremarkable and failed to draw attention. It contained concentrated zombie toxins, which had already seeped into his organs when he realized it was too late.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this wasn't fatal, but the Fire Spirit Sect Master took in a deep breath, circulating essence qi to temporarily suppress the spread of the poison. The situation had reversed; he became the hunted instead of the hunter.

With a look of不甘, he tried to escape via his light. Lin Xuan would not let him go. If he escaped and called for reinforcements, it would be impossible to survive.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan continued to command the Beast Talisman of Flying Heaven Bird and summoned his spirit artifact. Cloudy Face had similar thoughts; her Sword of Autumn Water transformed into a blue blade, flanking Lin Xuan's magical artifacts from both sides in a pincer movement towards the Clear Spirit True Man.

Although the light-speed escape was fast, it couldn't match the power of the spirit artifact. Soon, the Azure Snow Ring and Sword of Autumn Water caught up. The Azure Snow Ring split into two, then four, becoming sixteen identical small rings, while the Sword of Autumn Water grew to be a massive blue sword. With the Flying Heaven Bird arriving, they attacked from three sides.

Light flashed wildly as thunderous roars echoed. The Clear Spirit True Man's hair was disheveled, his face twisted in agony. His sect leader composure vanished as he held up blazing primordial fire, while another hand shot out white beams of light, struggling to hold on despite the dire situation.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan hesitated before taking a talisman from his pocket. The Clear Spirit True Man's face turned pale; as the Fire Spirit Sect Master, he was undoubtedly wealthy, but few Foundation Establishment后期 cultivators carried many talismans outside of Daoist Mountain.

Lin Xuan sneered and unleashed all the middle-rank spells in his hands. A rainbow glow emitted terrifying essence qi fluctuations as various middle-rank magical arts flew towards their opponent.

This action reminded Cloudy Face; she had several treasures on her, including some high-rank talismans. The girl's eyes flashed with pain but quickly hardened as she released the talismans too. "No----"

The Clear Spirit True Man was enveloped by countless spells, emitting a despairing and reluctant cry. The Sword of Autumn Water and Azure Snow Ring had already made his task difficult; now these spells were the final straw.

His protective shield shattered under the attack, and the extraordinary teleportation technique could only be used once in a day. The spirit artifact, beast talisman, and spells mercilessly hit him...

After a moment, all the smoke cleared to reveal the terrified Clear Spirit True Man.

A breeze blew, turning his body into sand that drifted away with the wind until he vanished completely.

Plop! An object fell from the sky.

Lin Xuan's expression changed as he waved his hand and summoned a beam of green light to retrieve it—the storage bag of the Fire Spirit Sect Master.

Without looking at it or sharing with his companions, Lin Xuan put it in his pocket. He then looked at the girl on his left.

They were from the same sect; they had fought together earlier, but now she had discovered a secret—just an ordinary person without a spirit root, yet possessing such astonishing cultivation and spirit artifacts that belonged to Zhang Yu and Zhou Yan. If these secrets leaked...

Lin Xuan's face grew cold as Cloudy Face looked up too. Their eyes met, and the Cloudy Face's expression was complex. She opened her lips but hesitated.

Boom!

Suddenly, the ground shook violently. Both of them turned their heads towards a distant mountain peak where a golden beam rose to the clouds.

Rainbow: Regarding Fairy Cloudy Face, many readers are curious about her. I've arranged some good plot points that should satisfy everyone; there's no need to guess, right? Haha.
