Whoosh!
Lin Zixiao's figure flickered, turning into an afterimage as he dodged Devouring Sky Rat's fatal strike.
"Eh?!"
"What movement technique was that?"
"It actually dodged This Lord's attack."
Devouring Sky Rat's figure appeared in midair. Staring in the direction Lin Zixiao had fled, it cried out in surprise.
A flash of pain crossed Lin Zixiao's stern face. Devouring Sky Rat's sneak attack had evidently come within a hair's breadth of taking his life.
But then he realized something.
Something was wrong!
How could this Spirit Pet speak human speech?
"A Tier 3 Demon King?"
At that thought, Lin Zixiao looked at Qin Ming with deep wariness.
Yet as a Demonic Path Overlord,
even after falling into a disadvantageous position, Lin Zixiao showed neither fear nor panic.
He swiftly took out a medicinal pill and swallowed it, then formed hand seals and cast a spell to stop the wound in his abdomen.
A surge of demonic qi emerged. The place where Devouring Sky Rat's black earth spike had pierced him began healing at a visible rate.
Then Lin Zixiao produced an array flag and waved his hand. The black light screen around them shifted, closing in to trap Fellow Daoist Qin and Devouring Sky Rat.
"Hmph! A trifling trick!"
Devouring Sky Rat opened its mouth and spat out a streak of pitch-black radiance that landed on the array's light screen.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
The trapping array Lin Zixiao had cast was little more than an empty shell before Devouring Sky Rat's innate bloodline divine ability. Within moments, it melted away like ice and snow.
"Cough! Fellow Daoist Qin truly has some impressive methods."
Looking disheveled, Lin Zixiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
This was one of the few times since embarking on the path of cultivation
