The two narrowed their eyes slightly, sizing each other up without end.
Though neither had made a move, the atmosphere had already tightened to the point where a single touch would set it off.
And Tian Xiang quickly noticed the clue as well. After all, the wild plunge in Asura and the others' cultivation could not fool anyone.
"I don't know what happened to you, but thinking you can defeat me by borrowing external power is simply foolish beyond measure." Tian Xiang's voice was incomparably cold, faintly revealing a biting killing intent.
The moment the words left his mouth, the fellow made his move.
With a sweep of his sleeve, the Ten Thousand Scroll Heavenly Book emerged above his head. Its pages opened, and countless fist-sized runes surfaced from within.
Then light flashed. Those runes gathered toward the center, a rumbling sound entered the ears, and a colossal creature appeared before their eyes.
It was vaster than a mountain. Saying one could not see its edges at a glance was a little much, but its size was truly somewhat outrageous.
At first glance, it looked somewhat like a Black Tortoise.
But it had heads like a Flood Dragon's.
And there were as many as nine of them.
The aura it gave off was powerful to the extreme. Things like True Dragons and Heavenly Phoenixes were utterly weak before it.
What kind of monster was this?
For a moment, even Lin Xuan was somewhat tongue-tied.
But there was no time to think further. The other party had already pounced over with ferocious momentum.
This time, there was no probing. The instant Tian Xiang attacked, it was a killing move.
After all, Lin Xuan had changed far too much over these three years. Tian Xiang did not dare hold anything back either.
