CHAPTER 582: CHAPTER 269: LIN XUANKONG’S SECOND TRUMP CARD_2

"This Flaming Blade Duan River actually cultivated the Fire Spirit Divine Skill to such an extent, capable of directly summoning over one hundred thousand Flame Sparrows of Ninth-Layer Perfection! When we were just attacking the Sect Protection Array of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect together, if this Flaming Blade Duan River had used such a method, he would have likely destroyed more than half of the array hubs of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, possibly even breaching its Sect Protection Array!"

"Heh, so it’s fortunate for everyone that this Flaming Blade Duan River didn’t use this Fire Spirit Divine Skill! Otherwise, when Galin Bodhisattva arrived, if she found that we had already broken through the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s Sect Protection Array and were rampaging inside, we’d probably have no chance of survival! But it’s truly surprising that Flaming Blade Duan River could cultivate the Fire Spirit Divine Skill to this level! No wonder he, a mere Late-Stage Third-Grade Earth Immortal, could become one of the Vice Sect Leaders of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect. You must know, in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region, the Vice Sect Leaders of each of the Twelve Great Immortal Sects must be at least Fifth-Grade Earth Immortals!"

"You can’t just look at the realm; you also have to consider strength and combat power! With such a terrifyingly powerful and exquisitely refined Fire Spirit Divine Skill, Flaming Blade Duan River could probably easily suppress a Third-Grade Earth Immortal of the same tier. He might even be able to fight a Fourth-Grade Earth Immortal. Even if he couldn’t win, he could still hold his own for a while!"

"Exactly. I advanced to the Mid-Grade Four Realm over two hundred years ago, and I’ve always prided myself on being able to easily suppress any Third-Grade Earth Immortal! But today, seeing Flaming Blade Duan River’s Fire Spirit Divine Skill, I finally understand that the world is vast and full of wonders. Even a Third-Grade Earth Immortal can possess combat power comparable to a Fourth-Grade! If those more than one hundred thousand Flame Sparrows were to charge, forget about me, a Mid-Grade Four Earth Immortal; even a Late-Grade Four Earth Immortal would have to beat a hasty retreat and temporarily avoid their spearhead!"

As these hundreds of Earth Immortals murmured amongst themselves, their eyes revealed a hint of apprehension as they gazed at the more than one hundred thousand Flame Giant Sparrows. Even some Fifth-Grade Earth Immortals couldn’t help but frown slightly at the sight of the ferocious might of these densely packed, more than one hundred thousand Flame Giant Sparrows. They involuntarily circulated their Immortal Yuan and adopted defensive postures. After all, while Ninth-Layer Perfection demons couldn’t harm an Earth Immortal with a full-powered attack, their specialty was self-detonation... The power of self-detonation wasn’t merely dependent on their tier. Even a thumb-sized firecracker could injure an adult, let alone these Flame Giant Sparrows, each hundreds of zhang tall... That would be equivalent to over a hundred thousand terrifying bombs, each weighing thousands or tens of thousands of tons!

Listening to the hushed discussions of the hundreds of Earth Immortals, Flaming Blade Duan River, who was already quite pleased with himself, became even more arrogant. With a light wave of his hand, thousands of Flame Giant Sparrows immediately soared into the air, gradually forming the shape of a long saber between Lin Xuankong and himself. The tip of the saber pointed with extreme arrogance towards Lin Xuankong.

Flaming Blade Duan River sneered, "Tributor Mu, oh Tributor Mu, I, Flaming Blade Duan River, have been renowned in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region for thousands of years. I have always acted fairly and have never bullied the weak! If you hadn’t insisted on a one-on-one duel with me today, I, Flaming Blade Duan River, would never have stooped to dealing with a mere Initial Tier Tenth-Layer cultivator. Tsk, tsk, this is truly demeaning, a loss of status for me! But since I’ve already agreed, I, Flaming Blade Duan River, can only reluctantly oblige! However, I am, after all, a dignified Late-Stage Third-Grade Earth Immortal, while you are just a minor Transcendence Realm cultivator... How about this: I’ll let you attack me first for one hour, just to showcase the prowess of an Earth Immortal from our Fire Spirit Immortal Sect! HAHAHAHA!"

With that said, Flaming Blade Duan River clasped his hands behind his back and looked leisurely towards Lin Xuankong, his eyes filled with smugness and disdain, regarding Lin Xuankong as if he were the most laughable person in the world!

Flaming Blade Duan River was letting Tributor Mu attack him for several hours?

Upon hearing Flaming Blade Duan River’s words, the many Earth Immortals of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect all frowned, their eyes brimming with anger.

Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect even floated to Lin Xuankong’s side, her willow-like eyebrows knitted in anger. "Tributor Mu, why bother with a one-on-one duel against such shameless people? Wouldn’t it be better if we all attacked together and utterly crushed him?"

Flaming Blade Duan River, who had been looking proud and disdainful, tensed up the moment he saw Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er—a Third-Grade Perfection cultivator—float to Lin Xuankong’s side with an Immortal Artifact in hand. His previously composed and leisurely expression vanished instantly. He could act recklessly in front of Lin Xuankong, an Early Stage Tenth-Layer Transcendence Realm cultivator, but Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er’s cultivation realm was slightly higher than his own. Moreover, she had become famous much earlier than he, Flaming Blade, had. How could he dare to show contempt for such a figure!

When Lin Xuankong saw Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er float over, he merely shook his head with firm resolve, not even bothering to repeat his words.

Seeing this, Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er’s heart filled with anxiety. She was terrified that if Lin Xuankong fought Flaming Blade Duan River, he might be severely injured or captured. If Flaming Blade Duan River then used Lin Xuankong’s life to threaten them, they would be utterly helpless! However, seeing Lin Xuankong’s resolute attitude, Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er remained silent for a long moment before finally sighing with a touch of helplessness and retreating to the side.
