Chapter 36: The Peng Clan's Conspiracy!
Ruins Battlefield, inside a desolate withered forest.
Zhao Ling'er, having been heavily struck by a giant hammer, fell to the ground below like a kite with a broken string. Accompanied by a heavy muffled sound, she kicked up a cloud of black mist and dust.
Sizzle!
Within the black mist, there were streaks of blinding electric arcs and thunder light. Even separated by a hundred steps, one could still sense a violent aura emanating from the azure electric light.
"Cough, cough!"
Located inside a giant pit, Zhao Ling'er directly spat out a mouthful of thick fresh blood. A faint bloody smell permeated the surroundings.
Zhao Ling'er clearly felt that several bones in her back were completely broken. A slight movement brought waves of intense pain.
Immediately after, the Primordial Chaos One Qi Art within her body circulated automatically. The power contained within her meridians and bones began to surge out and gather at the broken bones. In just two breaths of time, the fractures were mended.
Swish, swish, swish!
At the same time. Above Zhao Ling'er's head, iron feathers fell down again like a rainstorm with a loud crash.
"Lightning Shield!"
Zhao Ling'er bit her silver teeth, and an azure lightning protective shield appeared again, protecting her whole body. The lightning attribute spiritual power that had just recovered slightly continued to weaken, causing her consciousness to become somewhat blurred, and dizziness appeared before her eyes.
Above.
Xuanyuan Changqing, standing in the air, looked at the wretched Zhao Ling'er on the ground, killing intent emerging in his eyes.
He clearly knew that Zhao Ling'er possessed magic treasures like teleportation talismans. If he let her escape again, some unexpected changes might occur, so he had to end the battle quickly.
Xuanyuan Changqing had a thought, and his whole body's spiritual energy began to frantically inject into the giant hammer at his side.
The many magical patterns on the giant hammer began to light up one by one. With every magic treasure pattern that lit up, the momentum of this giant hammer increased by a fraction.
"Die for me!"
Xuanyuan Changqing gave a low roar, and the giant hammer crashed down.
Suddenly.
In the direction where the giant hammer was falling, a man with wings on his back walked out of the void out of thin air. This man exuded a fatal aura from his whole body.
"Creation Divine Dragon Palace circulated to the limit!"
"Asura First Body!"
"Great Wind Blade Technique!"
"Great Void Technique!"
"Python Dragon Cell Demonization!"
The moment Lin Xuan appeared, several cultivation techniques were blessed upon his body. Five hundred python dragon cells roared in unison, and centering on him, a layer of visible whitish air waves rippled out, which was shocking.
Lin Xuan, whose whole body was entangled by demon energy, had his entire aura become somewhat gloomy and cold.
"Demon Race person!"
Xuanyuan Changqing above shrank his pupils after sensing that gloomy and cold aura.
Although their Monster Race and the Demon Race both had the goal of swallowing the Human Race, the two races had never cooperated until now.
If he were to accidentally kill this Demon Race person and it was known by the leader behind him, matters would become difficult to handle.
At this time.
Lin Xuan looked at the giant hammer close at hand and blasted out his right fist, which contained several kinds of heaven-defying divine abilities.
One fist punched out, like a flood dragon emerging from the sea. The fist wind let out a roar like a dragon's chant.
Boom!
The black fist smashed hard against the giant hammer. This scene seemed as if time and space had frozen.
Crack, crack, crack, crack!
Centered on the point of impact of Lin Xuan's right fist, sounds of crisp and melodious cracking suddenly rang out from the giant hammer that was like a small mountain.
Bang, bang, bang...
Immediately afterwards, the entire giant hammer began to fall apart and finally exploded into a ball of iron slag. It was shaken a hundred meters away by the aftershock of Lin Xuan's fist wind, falling into the withered forest on the side and disappearing without a trace.
Above.
When Xuanyuan Changqing saw Lin Xuan using his physical body to resist the magic treasure head-on, a contemptuous smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth.
"Ridiculous! Even if your Demon Race bodies are tyrannical, this is a Fifth Grade Magic Treasure. How can a little Foundation Establishment cultivator like you shake it!"
Although Xuanyuan Changqing intended to stop the giant hammer magic treasure, he could barely activate it, so this was the only way. If anyone found out, he would just say this Demon Race member died protecting a disciple of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, a death that would be well-deserved.
However, after his Natal Magic Treasure, the Meteor Hammer, exploded, he suffered a backlash. His internal organs all received trauma.
While Xuanyuan Changqing was filled with shock, Lin Xuan, shrouded in demonic flames, instantly arrived half a meter in front of him. Those cold eyes were filled with killing intent.
"You..."
Xuanyuan Changqing's eyes showed alarm. At the same time, the pair of broad Peng Clan wings behind him attempted to shield him like two barriers.
However, they were completely severed by Lin Xuan's dragon wings, which were like refined iron tempered a thousand times.
Rip!
The pair of Peng Clan wings was instantly severed, and fresh blood rained down from the sky.
Subsequently, before Xuanyuan Changqing could react, Lin Xuan's massive fist smashed his head apart like a fired cannonball.
"Great Devouring Technique!"
At the same time, the spiritual energy and essence blood within Xuanyuan Changqing surged out wildly, gathering like a stream that surrounded Lin Xuan. They were completely divided up by the cell particles within his body.
Furthermore, it caused nearly sixty cell particles within his body to undergo transformation.
By the time Xuanyuan Changqing's physical body fell, it had turned into a dried corpse.
Immediately after, Lin Xuan teleported to Zhao Ling'er's side below.
"Brother Lin Xuan, I knew you would come," Zhao Ling'er said in a weak tone.
"Don't push yourself. Just rest well for now. I have a few pills here; take them quickly!"
Next, Lin Xuan took out several Top Grade Spirit Returning Pills obtained from Murong Qianqian's storage bag out of his storage ring and had Zhao Ling'er swallow them.
After a moment, Zhao Ling'er's complexion finally regained a trace of rosiness.
"This place has demonic energy interference, which is unfavorable for your recovery. I will place you in a space that can store living things. When your injuries have recovered, notify me with your divine sense, and I will let you out!"
Lin Xuan looked at Zhao Ling'er's slightly furrowed brows and spoke to her.
"Okay!"
After obtaining Zhao Ling'er's consent, Lin Xuan waved his hand and moved her into the storage ring.
This Ninth Grade Magic Treasure storage ring did not only have the function of storing living things. If Lin Xuan could reach the Tribulation Crossing Realm, he could refine a small world several realms earlier than others.
After settling Zhao Ling'er, Lin Xuan finally cast his gaze upon Xuanyuan Changqing's corpse a dozen steps away.
After enveloping it with his divine sense, he waved his hand casually and retrieved the storage bag from the body.
When Lin Xuan's divine sense probed into the storage bag, he perceived all the items within. One item, in particular, caused alarm in Lin Xuan's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.
In Xuanyuan Changqing's entire storage bag, aside from some low-level magic treasures and a few bottles of decent pills, there was only an already activated Two-Way Transmission Talisman.
This was a Two-Way Transmission Talisman that activated upon the owner's death. Unlike ordinary disposable transmission talismans, it could cross space-time distances. As long as it was within a hundred thousand li, once this talisman was activated, it would send the coordinate position to the other Two-Way Transmission Talisman.
"It seems this Peng demon planned this trial battle long ago. A Peng Clan Great Demon has definitely descended upon this Ruins Battlefield!"
Lin Xuan speculated in his heart.
Suddenly.
Lin Xuan sensed something amiss within the range of his divine sense. He abruptly raised his head to look towards the west, and his pupils constricted sharply...
