Wu Dong: I, Lin Langtian, will not play a supporting role

The moment the dark arrow on the bowstring of the demonic bow in Lin Langtian's hand materialized, an indescribable and terrifying aura suddenly spread out.

That was not a simple spiritual pressure, but a terrifying power that had condensed eight demonic runes!
The eight demonic runes, created by replicating the eight ancestral runes with the help of the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror, have gradually lost their luster after arriving in the Great Thousand World.

However, as Lin Langtian's strength gradually increases, the power displayed by the eight demonic runes should not be underestimated!

Centered on Lin Langtian, the space within a radius of a thousand feet was like a lake surface tossed with a giant rock, rippling with layers of strange, visible waves.

The light around him was distorted and dimmed, sound was swallowed up, and even the falling snowflakes were silently annihilated into snow dust ten feet away from him, merging into the pitch-black arrow.

Above the sky, Huo Xuan, standing on the back of the Nine Netherworld Frost Sparrow, suddenly contracted his pupils.

The tips of the five icy arrows he was about to shoot, with their chilling blue light capable of freezing spiritual energy, began to flicker uncontrollably and erratically.

The Nine Nether Frost Sparrow beneath it, formed from pure icy spiritual energy, let out a clear cry tinged with unease and anger.

With each flap of its wings, it whipped up an even more violent blizzard in an attempt to stabilize itself.

"What...what kind of power is this?!" Huo Xuan's heart was filled with shock and disbelief.

He had never felt such a strange and vast aura from his peers.

Before the black arrow had even left the bowstring, the aura of annihilation it emitted already caused a stinging pain between his brows, and his spiritual senses began to warn him frantically.

"We can't wait any longer!" A ruthless glint flashed in Huo Xuan's eyes as he forcefully suppressed the trembling in his heart and poured all his icy spiritual power into the ice bow in his hand.

The five icy arrows suddenly expanded, their dark blue light intensified, and even the phantom patterns of the Nine Netherworld Frost Sparrow appeared on their shafts, radiating an extreme chill that could freeze the soul.

"Nine Netherworld Frost Sparrow, Five Arrows Seal the Soul!"

Huo Xuan roared and loosened his grip.

Five streaks of dark blue light, arranged in a triangular pattern, tore through the sky. They did not shoot straight ahead, but rather traced mysterious trajectories, subtly blocking all escape routes for Lin Langtian in all directions, including above, below, left, right, and directly in front of him.

Where the arrow passed, five long, white streaks filled with ice crystals were drawn in the space, lingering for a long time.

A chilling aura permeated the heavens and earth, causing even the many Nine Nether Sparrow Clan members watching the battle at the edge of the square to feel their blood flow sluggish.

Faced with these five deadly arrows that sealed off all escape routes, Lin Langtian's eyes remained as calm as a deep, still well.

His arm, fully drawn back on the demonic bow, was as steady as a rock. On the bowstring, the dark arrow, imbued with the power of the four ancestral symbols of devouring, fire, darkness, and life and death, trembled slightly, emitting a low hum that seemed to come from the ancient abyss.

He didn't look at the five Soul-Sealing Frost Arrows; his icy gaze pierced through space, locking onto Huo Xuan's true form and the enormous Nine Nether Frost Sparrow beneath him.

Just as the five icy arrows were about to strike him, the closest one less than three feet from his brow, the biting cold almost freezing the golden light on his body!

Lin Langtian loosened his fingers from the strings.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling light.

There was only a very faint 'pop' sound, like a snapping string.

The dark arrow disappeared.

No, it didn't disappear, but rather shot forward in a way that surpassed the limits of visual perception, almost like a 'spatial leap'.

The moment the arrow leaves the bowstring, the space in front of it collapses and folds on its own to make way for it, and then quickly closes up behind the arrow's tail.

It wasn't flying; it was more like flashing along a makeshift, empty passage connecting the beginning and the end.

The first to be hit were the five dark blue arrows containing the power to seal souls.

They didn't even have time to have a real collision with the Black Arrow.

The moment the tip of the first cold arrow made contact with the tiny black hole-like arrowhead of the black arrow, the eerie blue light suddenly dimmed and distorted, as if being devoured by an invisible giant mouth.

Immediately, the entire ice arrow, starting from its tip, silently decomposed and melted, transforming into the most primordial flow of ice-attribute energy, which was then greedily swallowed by the black hole arrowhead.

Then came the second one, the third one...

The five Nine Nether Frost Sparrow Arrows, powerful enough to severely injure or even freeze a seventh-rank supreme being of the same level, were as fragile as ice and snow under the sunlight in front of that dark long arrow. They couldn't even slow down its speed for a moment before collapsing and being swallowed up one after another.

It all happened so fast.

To most spectators, all they saw was Huo Xuan shooting out five astonishing blue beams.

Then the blue light flew to Lin Langtian's side and suddenly and strangely disappeared, while on Lin Langtian's side, something extremely dark seemed to flash by.

But Huo Xuan saw it clearly!
His mind was connected to the five arrows. The moment the arrows were swallowed up and annihilated, the backlash made him groan and his face turn slightly pale.

What terrified him even more was that the dark arrow that had devoured the power of his five arrows seemed to have become even more sinister and terrifying after absorbing the icy energy, and it had already... locked onto him!

"Frosty Sparrow Armor! Nine Netherworld Protection!"

Huo Xuan roared angrily, and his reaction was extremely fast.

The Nine Netherworld Frost Sparrow beneath it let out a long, mournful cry, and its massive body instantly erupted with an extremely dazzling, deep blue light.

Countless mysterious ice runes emerged from its body, intertwining and coalescing to form a giant ice shield several meters thick in front of Huo Xuan, carved with lifelike ice sparrow totems.

At the same time, the Frost Sparrow closed its wings, completely enveloping Huo Xuan. Layers of ice piled up and crystallized on its wings, transforming into the most solid armor.

This was his trump card defensive technique, fused with the power of the Nine Nether Frost Sparrow's origin, which he was confident was enough to withstand a full-force attack from a peak seventh-grade supreme expert.

At the very moment the ice shield took shape and the cold sparrow closed its wings, that dark arrow pierced through space and arrived!

It gently touched the center of the enormous Frost Sparrow Ice Shield.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The anticipated violent explosion did not occur.

The point where the arrow tip touched the ice shield silently dented, and a tiny, rotating black dot appeared.

Immediately afterwards, centered on the black dot, the intricate and ornate sparrow totem patterns on the ice shield, like snow splashed with thick ink, were rapidly eroded into a pitch-black color.

Where the darkness spread, the seemingly indestructible millennia-old ice, as if decayed over millions of years, turned into falling black ice powder.

The ice shield, several meters thick, lasted less than a breath before being eroded by the demonic arrow, leaving a smooth, mirror-like hole.

Without pausing, the demonic arrow pierced through the hole and shot towards the Nine Netherworld Frost Sparrow, which was guarded by the folded wings.

"Wow!"

The Nine Nether Frost Sparrow let out an extremely mournful cry. The moment its folded wings came into contact with the black arrow, its icy feathers, which were strong enough to withstand the slashes of divine weapons, quickly lost their luster and became gray and fragile, as if they had met their nemesis.

The demonic arrow, like a red-hot iron rod, pierced through the ice and snow, easily penetrating the first layer of wings, and then the second...

The dark demonic flames wrapped around the arrow silently seeped into the body of the Cold Sparrow.

The next moment, countless twisted black fire lines suddenly lit up inside the massive body of the Nine Nether Frost Sparrow!

The devouring and erosion from the outside in, coupled with the burning of demonic flames from the inside out, caused the illusory image of the Nine Nether Frost Sparrow, formed from Huo Xuan's entire spiritual power, to be unable to maintain itself any longer.

It struggled and twisted violently in the air, letting out a final, unwilling cry, before exploding with a deafening roar! The sparrow vanished, completely exposing Huo Xuan, who was hiding within it.

His face was ashen, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his aura was extremely weak. The ruthless destruction of his summoned creature had caused him severe backlash.

And that dark arrow, which seemed to come from the underworld, devoured five arrows, pierced the ice shield, and incinerated the cold sparrow, also slowly dissipated.

Huo Xuan's eyes also filled with horror and shock.

He tried his best to set up layers of ice walls in front of him and summoned protective magical artifacts, but all of this seemed futile in the face of that demonic arrow containing the power of eight runes.

The ice wall evaporated instantly, and the magical artifact, wailing, lost all its spiritual light and was repelled.

Thinking of this, Huo Xuan finally couldn't help but shout angrily, "Lin Xi, how long are you going to keep watching this show?!"

Outside the battle circle, Lin Xi watched the sudden change in the situation, and his expression couldn't help but turn somewhat grim.

The sudden burst of fighting power from Lin Langtian startled him.

This guy is a complete charlatan!

His combat strength is far more than that of an ordinary sixth-grade supreme being!
Lin Xi's eyes shifted.

He had already adopted a high-handed stance, saying that Huo Xuan would deal with Lin Langtian.

If they were to suddenly intervene and enter the battle now, it would inevitably attract some criticism.

But Lin Langtian was already making him feel very dangerous. If Huo Xuan was allowed to lose to him, would he really be able to deal with Lin Langtian after Lin Langtian's spiritual power recovered?
If it were before, he might have nodded without hesitation, but now... he no longer has that confidence.

Lin Xi's changing gaze finally settled.

Without hesitation, he clenched his fist, and a crimson spear appeared in the air.

At the same time, a surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted from his body, like a volcano.

call out!
Lin Xi's figure transformed into a streak of light and shot out, the tip of his spear pointing directly at Lin Langtian.

Clearly, he was planning to play the role of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Although Lin Langtian defeated Huo Xuan, shooting that arrow almost exhausted the spiritual power in his body.

Next, Lin Xi only needs to defeat Lin Langtian as well.

In that case, he will be the ultimate winner.

Lin Xi's move immediately caused a stir in the area.

Some members of the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan secretly curled their lip in disapproval.

Lin Xi, who was so arrogant before, is now forced to take advantage of Lin Langtian's depletion of spiritual power to seize the opportunity.

Regardless of whether Lin Langtian wins or loses this battle, it's likely that no one in the entire Nine Nether Sparrow Clan will dare to underestimate him anymore.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Lin Xi charged into the battle almost instantly.

At this moment, his spiritual power erupted without reservation, and the pressure of his spiritual power spread out, rushing towards Lin Langtian.

His actions clearly forced Lin Langtian, who had just turned the tide, back into a predicament.

A sixth-grade supreme being facing two half-step seventh-grade supreme beings at the same time—even if Lin Langtian is incredibly talented, his chances of winning are probably less than 30%.

Many eyes were fixed on Lin Langtian, even the elders of the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan were staring intently at him, wanting to know how he, whose spiritual power was already somewhat depleted, would break out of his current predicament.

Under those gazes, Lin Xi's figure drew ever closer to Lin Langtian.

Lin Langtian looked at the aggressive Lin Xi, a cold smile curving his lips.

Although shooting the eight-talisman arrow consumed most of his spiritual power, he was not without trump cards!
Upon realizing this, an ancient stone disc suddenly appeared in Lin Langtian's palm.

This stone disc was none other than the Battle Intent Divine Disc bestowed upon him by the senior Wan Zhenhuang in those destroyed ruins.

Within this divine plate lies a thousand stones of soldiers, possessing extremely powerful strength.

However, this item is a one-time use item; once used, these stone soldiers will vanish into thin air, so Lin Langtian has never used it lightly.

But with the rapid improvement of my strength, if I don't use it now, I'm afraid I won't need it in the future.

Lin Xi stared at the stone plate in Lin Langtian's hand, her expression momentarily stunned, before turning serious.

He was on high alert when it came to Lin Langtian!

The next moment, he clenched his fist, and a raging sea of ​​spiritual power surged out. In just a few breaths, the spear in his hand seemed to be burning with raging flames.

The temperature of this place instantly became scorching hot.

"Flaming Sparrow Divine Art, Fire Spear Burns the Sky!"

Having witnessed Lin Langtian's methods, Lin Xi did not hold back at all when making his move, despite Lin Langtian's depletion of spiritual energy.

This divine technique, once unleashed, would severely injure even a seventh-rank supreme being.

"Lin Xi is truly cautious. To deal with a sixth-grade supreme being who has exhausted most of his spiritual energy, he actually used such a divine technique..."

Outside this area, the powerful members of the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan were also taken aback by this scene.

Lin Xi stood facing Lin Langtian, his eyes flashing with a sinister light as he swung his crimson spear.

hum!
In an instant, the spear shot out violently, and towering crimson flames swept out in an instant, as if they were about to devour the heavens and the earth, with the raging crimson flames roaring.

In the shadows, it seemed to transform into a fiery sparrow with outstretched wings, carrying world-destroying flames, and directly enveloped Lin Langtian.

Faced with Lin Xi's terrifying offensive, Lin Langtian remained expressionless and immediately poured all the remaining spiritual power in his body into the Battle Intent Divine Disc through his palm.

hum!
As spiritual energy surged in, a burst of light suddenly shot out from the ancient stone slab.

Then, beams of light shot out in a devastating burst.

In an instant, a terrifying fighting spirit suddenly erupted, transforming into a battle intent seal that roared out and directly collided with the whistling musket.

boom!
A terrifying shockwave of spiritual energy erupted, causing ripples to spread throughout the space within a thousand feet. Those powerful individuals who were relatively close to the area were also shaken, causing their blood and qi to surge, and they immediately retreated.

puff!

The shockwave raged, and Lin Xi's body was sent flying backward in a disheveled state.

All the defenses collapsed at this moment, and the projectiles shot out of the plaza area, tearing a deep trench in the ground in the distance.

Lin Xi lay in the ravine, covered in blood, her breath faint, clearly having been severely injured.

And so, under the countless almost stunned gazes of the world, Lin Xi, who had just entered the arena with such fierce momentum, ready to be the one to stalk the cicada and whet its prey, was... defeated and forced to retreat! (End of Chapter)
