第五卷 天云十二州 第九百七十一章 火焰之精

Eryi'er掩住嘴,俏脸上满是惊讶!煮,武云儿的身影在那古怪云雾中闪动,已经退后了一百余丈远。

This kind of battle, once involved, would definitely result in his body being shattered. Unlike the previous encounter with Xi Xian, facing this terrifying human-faced centipede, even Master Lin might not be able to come to her aid in time if something went wrong.

Lin Xuan did not turn back, but there was no strange fog here. With his powerful divine consciousness, he could clearly sense every move that Wu Yuer made.

Nodding slightly, this girl was indeed impressive. He intended to use the Five Dragon Talisman to block the human-faced centipede’s spells because of its incredible hardness, surpassing even the Black Iron Dragon Armor Shield.

To his surprise, the monster from the劫cloud seemed to be greatly afraid of it. Although he did not know why, such a good opportunity was not one to miss. He flicked his sleeve and the Nine Heaven Moon Ring flew out.

Extending a finger, Lin Xuan lightly pointed forward.

The two rings flashed with silver light, forming ring shadows in mid-air… "Quickly!"

With a light command from Lin Xuan, those illusions rushed like a storm towards the human-faced centipede.

In normal circumstances, such an attack would be sharp and hard to dodge for a creature of the human-faced centipede’s power. However, now that it was trapped by the Five Color Clouds, its movements were significantly slower.

Struggling, it could not keep up, and several ring shadows landed on it, temporarily restraining it.

Lin Xuan reached out his hand and took out the Spirit Ghost Bag from his waist. A large amount of black fog poured out, revealing a tall, thin monster.

Initially, Lin Xuan did not summon the Corpse Demon because the human-faced centipede was too powerful. He didn’t want to risk destroying his newly made Incorporeal Stage puppet so easily.

However, now that the situation had changed and the opponent was restrained, calling out the Corpse Demon would be like beating a drowning man.

The Corpse Demon appeared with its two magical arms extending, producing cracking sounds as it wrapped itself into a large bone knife.

With a flash of movement, the Corpse Demon transformed into a black cloud and flew swiftly towards the human-faced centipede. The monster showed fear but did not want to give up. It opened its mouth and spat out a ball of fire, but it was too weak. The Corpse Demon easily dodged.

Then, with a swing of the bone knife, it slashed at the head of the centipede.

Splat,

The head of the giant centipede shot up into the air, spraying blood that stank and turned red upon contact with the ground, melting the hard rock.

Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief as he prepared to fly over. Suddenly, from the monster’s body, a fist-sized ball of fire flew out.

It was a bright red color, though small, it contained fire spirit power that made Lin Xuan frown and take notice. The feeling was beyond anything in the mortal world.

This was the essence of heavenly tribulation flames.

And it had already reached a sentient state, comparable to an immortal’s infant stage.

That flame flashed and tried to flee towards the horizon.

Lin Xuan would not let this go. However, he was too far away. He roared!

The Corpse Demon’s arms returned to their original form as they pounded his chest, causing black fog to burst out from its body, covering a dozen feet around it, including that sentient heavenly tribulation flame.

Although the fire did not break free, the corners of the Corpse Demon’s mouth bled. Lin Xuan was pleased and used Nine Heaven Microsteps to move closer.

Flicking his sleeve, he released a large amount of green light, forming a green protective barrier around the flame essence.

That flame flashed again, trying to collide with it once more.

Lin Xuan’s face turned pale as he felt a powerful force approaching.

He coldly snorted and raised his left hand, releasing more cloud fog from the Five Dragon Talisman that enveloped the monster.

The heavenly tribulation flames, now sentient, were in great distress. They tried to escape but were trapped by Lin Xuan and the Corpse Demon.

Finally, the Five Color Clouds wrapped around the centipede, slowing its movements significantly.

Lin Xuan’s lips curled into a smile as he grabbed his hands together, releasing more cloud fog from the Five Dragon Talisman that enveloped it layer by layer. It formed a ball about a foot in diameter.

Lin Xuan reached out and caught the ball with his palm.

Seeing this Five Color Cloud Ball, even Lin Xuan’s composure could not hide his excitement. This was a heavenly tribulation flame capable of killing an Incorporeal Stage cultivator. If he could refine it into his demonic flames…

That would greatly increase their power. With such a technique, he might be able to stand up against a Great Cultivator without falling behind.

Not only did this mean he had found valuable treasure here, but the sentient heavenly tribulation flame alone was worth the trip.

Lin Xuan licked his lips and took out a large jade box from his storage bag. He opened it and placed the cloud ball inside.

He then took several Restriction Talismans, affixed them, and happily stored everything in his storage bag.

This was indeed a great harvest. However, refining this heavenly tribulation flame would require much effort and time. But that could wait until he returned home to research further.

"Congratulations, Master!"

A sweet voice entered his ears as Wu Yuer flew over after the battle ended.

The girl’s eyes were filled with admiration, though she did not know what Lin Xuan had taken away, it was clearly no ordinary treasure. Her expression was also extremely respectful; this Master Lin’s power was almost on par with a late-stage Incorporeal Stage cultivator.

Wu Yuer’s confidence in this mission greatly increased.

Lin Xuan turned and saw the girl standing respectfully. A smile appeared on his lips: "That monster, though it is from a tribulation cloud, has absorbed years of solar and lunar essence, already having a physical body. Although its appearance is ugly, as material, it surpasses ordinary Incorporeal Stage monsters. These things are not very useful to me, so I can pick some up."

"Thank you, Master!"

Wu Yuer’s face showed great joy as she bowed gracefully and flew towards the centipede’s remains.

Lin Xuan smiled. Actually, that statement was half true. The body of the human-faced centipede could be sold for many crystals in the market, but he had to share some with others.

After all, this girl was also Qinxin’s disciple, not an outsider. He couldn’t let her think that he was too stingy as a senior.

That would make it awkward when meeting Qinxin again.

Moreover, killing the human-faced centipede meant obtaining the most precious heavenly tribulation flames. The remaining monster bodies were far less valuable.

With Lin Xuan’s vast wealth, this wasn’t something to worry about.

Wu Yuer was also a clever and talented girl who understood that Lin Xuan was giving her a favor, greatly appreciating him.

While Lin Xuan had just killed his opponent, on another mountain peak many miles away, Tian Xiaojian was still fighting fiercely with his senior.

However, the red-robed woman’s face no longer showed arrogance; instead, it was filled with anger and fear.

The hurricane clashed with countless ghostly shadows, but clearly, the hurricane was already struggling. Then a flash of light appeared as her banner had been cut in half by the Soul Shattering Sword of Netherworld. Tian Xiaojian appeared before her.

"Impossible! You are only at the early-stage Incorporeal Stage, how can you have such power?" The woman raised her head, her face showing signs of madness.

The hunter became prey; she never expected Tian Xiaojian to be so formidable.

PS: Sorry for today's delay. I really had something important to deal with, and this is the only chapter for today. I will make up for it tomorrow. Sorry! (To be continued)
