It sounded rather unbelievable. Having it both ways—how could anything be that easy? Besides, saving someone was like fighting a fire; there was simply no time for Lin Xuan to make more choices.
If another person were in Lin Xuan's place, one could say this was an almost impossible task.
However, ever since Lin Xuan had set foot on the path of cultivation, the hardships he had experienced were beyond counting. How could he be measured by common sense?
Though the situation was critical, he still thought of a way to have the best of both worlds.
"Swift!"
Lin Xuan pointed forward, then made a motion as if lifting something with both hands. Threads of the power of Laws surfaced between his fingers and palms.
An unbelievable scene appeared.
The two Flood Dragon-shaped Heavenly Tribulations seemed to encounter some repulsive force and were shaken back. The Silver-Eyed Maiden seized the chance to escape.
But the crisis was not yet over. That Heavenly Tribulation had merely been temporarily confined; it had not been weakened in the slightest.
This, of course, was deliberate on Lin Xuan's part.
Otherwise, with his current strength, dispersing these two Heavenly Tribulations could be said to be as easy as turning his hand, without expending the slightest effort.
But if he did that, it would be equivalent to him personally blocking the Heavenly Tribulation. On the surface, the Silver-Eyed Maiden would have been saved, but after that, an even more terrifying Heavenly Tribulation would descend.
Even Lin Xuan himself would be unable to escape.
Lin Xuan would never do such a foolish thing as drinking poison to quench thirst.
Now, however, things were different. He was merely holding up the Heavenly Tribulation, temporarily preventing it from falling. In this process, he had not weakened the Heavenly Tribulation
