第五卷 天云十二州 第九百六十二章 擒魔

Boom!

A dull thunderous sound entered his ears. The purple-red light screen flickered and trembled, but Zhan Bao's demonic essence was no ordinary matter. Moreover, the old demon had expended a large amount of blood to use a very powerful secret technique.

Although it was wobbling, it managed to hold on.

The Blood Demon's heart eased slightly, but then he showed an expression of biting his teeth in anger, wishing that Lin Xuan would be torn into pieces. However, when he raised his head, he saw Lin Xuan take a step to the left and his figure became blurry before vanishing completely from sight.

What was this?

Instant teleportation technique?

The old demon's face showed an expression of absolute shock. How could it be possible? Instant teleportation belonged to spatial power techniques, even late-stage元婴 cultivators couldn't master it. Why...

But there wasn't time for him to ponder further at the moment. The old demon vaguely felt that he had done a foolish thing, stealing chickens and losing rice. Fighting this young man might end up with his own death.

Although the elixirs refined by twin元婴s were tempting, one needed to have life to enjoy them.

He already harbored thoughts of retreat.

However, he still took out a treasure first to protect himself.

The plan was good, but it was too late.

Having used previous attacks to hold back the old demon's main精力 for half his time, Lin Xuan employed Nine Heavens Micro-Step and had already arrived within three feet of him.

With a flip of his hand, another egg-sized flame leaped out.

The Azure Illusionary Mystic Flame that Lin Xuan had cultivated for so many years wouldn't just be the greenish-blue flame he used before; it enveloped his entire palm, with some mysterious talismanic inscriptions flickering into existence. This wasn't related to poison flames; instead, Lin Xuan had activated Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique. Although condensing a demon core hadn't succeeded yet, at least he was now on the second layer. Alone, it couldn't pose a threat to this old monster, but combined with Azure Illusionary Mystic Flame...

Pfft! Before the old demon could even summon his treasure, Lin Xuan's palm had already touched his protective spiritual light, producing a clear, crisp shattering sound. That blackish-black light shield didn't provide any resistance and shattered like a water bubble.

Bang!

Lin Xuan's palm firmly struck his chest, but it failed to penetrate; the fish-scale-like armor on his body blocked it.

"Eh?" Lin Xuan was slightly surprised but not panicked. A mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as the Azure Illusionary Mystic Flame detached from his hand and snaked towards the old demon, enveloping him with a howl of agony piercing his ears.

Although he had cultivated demonic techniques, this old monster's body strength rivaled that of a same-stage妖族. However, the剧毒 and corrosive nature of the Azure Illusionary Mystic Flame still made him suffer intensely, causing black light to flicker across his body as his demonic essence surged wildly. He continuously used several secret techniques but found no success; instead, the demon fire burned even more fiercely.

Lin Xuan observed coldly without intending to attack further, not out of mercy, but to capture and subdue the old monster's元婴 alive.

After all, the Blood Demon was an ancient cultivator who knew many secrets that even major sects couldn't compare to. Such a figure shouldn't be wasted.

Capturing his元婴, he would use soul searching techniques, which would surely prove beneficial. Lin Xuan still had Demon Infant Technique; while demon infants were good, they couldn't be upgraded, leading to an imbalance in his yin-yang spiritual energy. Although it hadn't exploded yet, this was a significant隐患.

His method of cultivating the demon infant came from Zhou Mian and his wife. He didn't know if the old monster had any hidden tricks up his sleeve; thus, he needed to search for his soul to verify and find a solution.

The old demon's eyes were filled with venomous looks. Unlike other元婴 cultivators, many of his techniques required this half-human, half-demon body to be used. So although he could possess another entity, he didn't want to give up the half-demon form that took so much effort to cultivate.

But human strength has its limits; the power of Azure Illusionary Mystic Flame was too strong. If it were a Separation Period existence, there might still be a chance to escape, but for him... forget about it.

In less than half an hour, despair appeared in the old demon's eyes.

Black light flashed, and a one-inch infant appeared above his head.

Unlike other元婴s, this infant was entirely black, with a colorful scorpion pattern on his chest. It looked extremely strange.

Nervously glancing at Lin Xuan, the infant's small hand cast spells and its figure split into seven parts, fleeing in different directions.

Each one was lifelike, and Lin Xuan couldn't tell if they were illusions.

And the old demon didn't use instant teleportation; he seemed to be wary of Lin Xuan's long spear treasure.

"Want to leave? Not so easy!"

Lin Xuan cast a spell towards the nine-moon ring above his head. A dazzling light appeared, and countless crescent moons, each about the size of a palm, surrounded it.

"Quickly!"

Driven by Lin Xuan's mental commands, these crescents spread outwards with astonishing speed, quickly enveloping the seven元婴s before mercilessly cutting them down.

Pfft...

Six of the元婴s were powerless and turned to nothingness. Only one in the middle showed a look of venom on its small face as it cast spells, its figure becoming blurry and vanishing from sight within the light blades' encirclement.

This effect could only be instant teleportation.

However, Lin Xuan was unperturbed; instead, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Unbeknownst to him, he held that long spear in his left hand. Without hesitation, he swung it downward.

From over ten feet away, space distorted as the元婴 stumbled into view.

Almost simultaneously, a flash of light appeared above his head, and a green monster claw emerged, snatching him and holding him tightly in its palm.

"You... what do you want?" The Blood Demon's eyes were filled with panic. He couldn't have imagined that things would end up this way.

"Friend, how about it? If I fall into your hands, what will you do to me?" Lin Xuan smiled pleasantly, but the元婴 felt a chill run down its spine.

"Please spare my life; you should forgive me..." The old demon was cunning. Seeing that he couldn't escape, he shamelessly begged for mercy.

Unfortunately, Lin Xuan wasn't moved. It would be foolish to deal with a tiger. Looking around, he saw the perilous surroundings of Yunling Mountain and decided not to perform soul searching here. With a wave of his sleeve, a green霞shot out, transforming into fine ropes that tightly bound him. Then, Lin Xuan took an jade box, placed the old demon's元婴 inside, and affixed seventeen or eighteen禁制符咒!

Such strict confinement; even if it was the Blood Demon or a Separation Period old monster's元婴, whether they could escape was still uncertain.
