It’s not that Lin Xuan never thought of slipping away quietly. Although he and Ouyang Qin had a little friendship, after all, they hadn’t talked much. In front of a Core Formation Late-stage Demonic Cultivator, it would be useless to stay here. Naturally, he had the opportunity.

But Lin Xuan still didn’t do it in the end.

Although the Red-eyed Ghost was fighting against Ouyang Qin, there was always a lingering Spiritual Sense here. Lin Xuan had no doubt that if he made a move, the other party would attack without hesitation.

Before at least finding a gap, Lin Xuan decided to settle down a bit.

But the present situation was really not so good!

Lin Xuan quietly held the Profound Fire God Bread in his hand. He must have a cultivation base of the Foundation Establishment Late-stage in order to barely be able to move it. However, there are several Secret Arts in “Nine Heavens Profound Art”. Which quickly improves your skills, although for only a short period of time.

Of course, such a Spirit spell has its consequences, and one would badly lose their vitality afterward. But if the situation really reaches that point, it would be a life-saving hidden card. Although it couldn’t be used to fight the Red-eyed Ghost, he would still have a certain degree of chance to escape.

Lin Xuan had a calm expression, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. The Path of Cultivation is too dangerous.

As he continued to watch the battle ahead, he carefully released his Spiritual Sense. Suddenly, Lin Xuan raised his brow slightly as if he had sensed something.

At a distance of about tens of meters away, there was a figure quietly lurking in the dense forest, and the guy’s Energy Concealing Technique was quite magical. If Lin Xuan didn’t happen to release his Spiritual Sense, it would’ve been easy to ignore.

There were actually other people here. Is it a demonic or immortal cultivator?

Lin Xuan was surprised at first, and then there was a playful smile at the corner of his mouth. Not only was he not in a hurry, but he was quite happy. It seemed that there were still people who wanted to fish in troubled waters. Well, It didn’t matter, the current situation was not so good, and if the waters were muddy, then he had a chance at escaping.

The man was paying full attention to the battle, so he didn’t find Lin Xuan’s Spiritual Sense snooping around.

“Eh?

A strange color flashed across Lin Xuan’s eyes. There was nothing on his face, but his heart rolled like a stormy wave.

That guy gave himself a familiar feeling.

His cultivation doesn’t seem to be too high. But he felt very dangerous, and there was even a breath of inhumanity. Where had he seen him before?

Lin Xuan was frowning, then a sudden loud bang came into his ears.

He quickly looked up and saw a stunning scene.

The battle situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, he did know what tricks the Red-eyed Ghost used, but the Spiritual Qi in a few miles radius was in shock.

Ouyang Qin was beaten and flung into the air, she opened her mouth, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Beating them while they’re down, Demonic Cultivators would naturally not be merciful, and it’s even less likely for the Red Eyed Old Ghost to have any pity for a beautiful woman.

This Ouyang Qin had a well-deserved reputation, and even if she was in a tight situation. If she had any breathing space, it would be really difficult to control this woman.

The Red-eyed Ghost’s body flashed with a bright glow, and a large black mist appeared around his body, and by looking at his expression. He was putting in quite some effort.

As if it had a life of its own, the mist madly poured into his two giant eyes.

After absorbing the black mist, the two strange eyes were even more red and bright, but in the middle of both eyes, a black spot like ink appeared, and it slowly rotated.

“Red Eye Divine Thunder!” Ouyang Qin’s expression turned miserable.

“Haha, it seems that you’ve also heard of this Old Ancestor’s Demonic Thunder. You can die peacefully!”

The Red-eyed Ghost laughed wildly, and then took a deep breath, he held his palms together, and his eyes flashed sharply. After re-separating, a light ball appeared on his palm. The light ball was red, but there was another one inside. It was an egg-sized pure black ball.

The expression on Ouyang Qin’s face became extremely solemn. The Red Eye Divine Thunder was the master skill of this old demon. Although she had not seen it, she had repeatedly heard her seniors talk about it. Its power was incomparable, the old demon once used this to kill many cultivators of the same rank, his demonic name became far-reaching.

Of course, this trick was also not flawless, mainly because every time one used it his/her grievances would be greatly increased. You couldn’t recover without meditating for a few years, so if it was not a last resort, the old demon would not use it easily but has no grievances with her. Is this old demon crazy?

If it were just to kill a Core Formation Stage woman, the Red-eyed Ghost would definitely not work hard to such a degree, but this Ouyang Qin is different, he inadvertently heard a secret, this woman is most likely the only descendant from the Ouyang Family thousands of years ago.

If this was the case, then the Celestial Map will be on her in all likelihood. Although, Ouyang Qin herself may not necessarily be aware of this matter. But for the Celestial Map, the Red-eyed Ghost was determined to win.

Even if it hurt his vitality, it was worth it.

The Red-eyed Ghost also muttered a few Secret Art incantations and seals, the light ball in his hand became more and more bright, and the faint thunderous sound came from it. The Divine Thunder was about to be complete, but at this moment, an abnormal change emerged.

A black shadow leaped out from the dense forest at an astonishing speed and rushed toward the Red-eyed Ghost.

Lin Xuan was also taken aback. At this time, he had already seen it clearly. This shadow was the monster that merged a Demon Moon Spider with the cultivator’s corpse.

However, did he come here to die? Lin Xuan judged from his Spiritual Sense, that although this monster is extremely weird, its cultivation base was only at the Foundation Establishment Middle-Stage, at most Late-stage, but his Spiritual Qi fluctuations are erratic, so Lin Xuan was not sure, but it should be in this range.

At this level, he dares to provoke a Core Formation Late-stage Demonic Cultivator?

Although the timing was good, such a big move was easy to notice. At this moment, all of the Red-eyed Ghost’s Spiritual Sense was focused on the Divine Thunder, but Lin Xuan did not believe that this weird and cunning old demon would actually not leave a backhand.

Sure enough, when the monster threw itself seven or eight meters away from him as if it had touched some restriction, the air suddenly became stagnant, and his speed was forced to slow down.

Wind Binding Technique!

Lin Xuan’s expression changed, although this was not a very sophisticated spell, it is quite practical, especially when displayed by the old monsters of the Core Formation Stage, it becomes even more powerful!

The Red-eyed Ghost turned his head and glanced at the fierce light, his eyes flashed with a bit of disdain: “Only the Foundation Establishment Stage, and you want to stalk the cicada.”

He then waved his hand and gave birth to a few long wind blades, which flew toward the attacker.

Hahaha!

Its bones were shredded, and the monster was split into two halves, and Red-eyed Ghost was very proud. However, Lin Xuan found that before dying, the monster had shown no expression of fear, but only a sneer at the corner of its mouth.

Sure enough, when his body fell down, a beige ball of light flew out of it, accompanied by a burst of frantic laughter: “Haha, Red-eyed Ghost, you’re also one of the people who besieged this Demon Lord, and so, your body, this lord will graciously accept.”

“Sky…..Sky Fiend Demon Lord.”

Hearing this voice, the smugness on the face of the Red-eyed Ghost turned into astonishment, and his expression was even more complicated, there was some surprise, confusion, and then even more surprise. However, afterward, it turned into extreme fear.

He wanted to use his hand to draw seals and use some spells, but in hand, he still held the Divine Thunder. Although this spell was extremely unstable, if it was not well controlled, it may explode. The original trick of defeating the enemy had now turned into a rock that smashed his own feet.

In desperation, he had to use a few less powerful spells that did not consume much focus. However, the light beams emitted by his strange eyes were easily dodged by the Soul of the Sky Fiend Demon Lord. In the blink of an eye, the ball of light appeared in front of him. Between him and the Soul was only one layer of barrier.

The defensive spell of a Core Formation Stage cultivator was not a trivial matter, but in front of the Sky Fiend Demon Lord, it was as if there was nothing, and he easily passed through.

“You…”

The Red-eyed Ghost was already terrified to the extreme. He gritted his teeth, then suddenly pushed out the Divine Thunder in his hand.

The ball of light suddenly deformed and morphed into a small baby-like figure.

“Nes…Nascent Soul? “

Not only the Red-eyed Ghost , but Lin Xuan and Ouyang Qin in the distance also stared wide-eyed. Rumor has it that the Sky Fiend Demon Lord was definitely a Demonic Cultivator of the Core Formation Stage, although he was in the Great Perfection, which was the legendary False Nascent Soul.

But the False Nascent Soulis just a complimentary name. After all, it was not really a Nascent Soul, but now…

This is really subverting the cognition of the three people. How can Cultivation World have such a thing?

Did the other party have another fortuitous encounter?

However, as soon as this idea came to his mind, Lin Xuan dismissed it, and for a very clear reason. If the Sky Fiend Demon Lord is really in the Nascent Soul Stage, then he would not have ended up in such an awkward situation, with even his body destroyed…

There must be some mystery that I don’t know.

Lin Xuan stood by and watched, and the Red-eyed Ghost couldn’t turn his head at the moment. He only hoped that the Divine Thunder could destroy that wicked villain.

Otherwise, if the Cultivation Method practiced by the Sky Fiend Demon Lord really made him immortal, then he would be in a very desperate situation!
