The red-robed Daoist and blue-robed Daoist nun were greatly startled, but they quickly reacted and attacked Lin Xuan.
The red-robed Daoist formed a hand seal. A crimson banner lit up with dazzling red light, and with a gentle wave, billowing flames swept forth and transformed into a Crimson Fire Crow over a hundred zhang in size, pouncing at Lin Xuan amid astonishing heat.
Lin Xuan snorted coldly and gave a light puff. A streak of black light shot out and struck the Crimson Fire Crow.
After a thunderous boom, the Crimson Fire Crow's body exploded into a sea of crimson flames that engulfed Lin Xuan. Yet when the crimson sea of fire came within a hundred zhang of him, a gust of sinister wind swept through and extinguished it.
Three small swords gleaming with red light shot over, reaching Lin Xuan in an instant. Lin Xuan snorted, dazzling black light surging from his right fist as he met them head-on.
A series of muffled impacts rang out. The three Red Flying Swords struck Lin Xuan's hand in succession, producing the clang of metal against metal before they were sent flying back.
In a flash of white light, an enormous white ice brick abruptly appeared above his head. It spewed a beam of white radiance that enveloped Lin Xuan, and his body began freezing at a visible rate.
The three Red Flying Swords shot toward him as the white ice brick came crashing down.
Countless black threads shot forth, shattering the ice layer into pieces. The black threads wrapped around the three Red Flying Swords, causing their spiritual light to dim.
The white ice brick was ensnared by dense black threads. Its spiritual light flickered several times before rapidly fading, as though it had lost most of its spirituality.
