Inverse Sword Mad God
Chapter 385 - 385 384 Five-Colored Peacock

385: Chapter 384: Five-Colored Peacock 385: Chapter 384: Five-Colored Peacock He had almost been slain just a moment ago; how could he be willing to let it go?

Yet he had no confidence in his ability to defeat Lin Xuan at this point.

Rashly approaching him would likely result in an even worse outcome.

Thus, he could only watch helplessly as Lin Xuan left.

…

Lin Xuan had left the Jiang Clan, slowly walking down the streets of Black Feather City.

He was contemplating his next moves; he had fallen out with the Jiang Clan and it was impossible for him to return in the short term.

Unless a special situation occurred.

But he had no regrets.

Those people had attacked viciously, clearly intent on killing him.

Had he not resisted, he would undoubtedly have been killed.

“I can’t investigate openly, I can only make covert inquiries,” Lin Xuan decided to look for an opportunity to get close to the Jiang Clan.

However, it would likely have to wait until after the Jiang Family Clan conference.

“Forget it, I’ll find a place to settle down first,” Lin Xuan headed towards an inn.

Chirp chirp

The Snow White Monkey suddenly made a sound, its large eyes blinking brightly.

Its furry little paws scratched at Lin Xuan’s hair, as the Snow White Monkey pointed in a certain direction, shrieking incessantly.

“Are you saying there’s something good over there?” asked Lin Xuan.

The Snow White Monkey nodded vehemently, then pointed at itself with its little paw.

“Something to do with you?”

The little monkey nodded excitedly, seeming very eager.

“Alright, alright.

I got it.

Let’s go have a look.”

Since he had nothing else to do, Lin Xuan ran towards the direction indicated by the Snow White Monkey.

He ran all the way, with fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, until he reached a desolate area.

There were hardly any people on the streets, and the surrounding houses were very dilapidated, covered in dust—it seemed they had not been visited in a long time.

Lin Xuan looked around and saw a mountain villa ahead, so he walked over.

The originally vermilion gate had become very dull, covered in cobwebs.

Pushing the door open, the air inside was somewhat oppressive, filled with the scent of dust.

Lin Xuan was on alert, his Soul Power slowly spreading out to probe the surroundings.

There was nothing dangerous in the courtyard, and he looked toward the house in front of him, about to move.

Suddenly, he sensed two auras approaching rapidly.

Frowning slightly, Lin Xuan’s body shimmered as he hid with the Snow White Monkey.

Just after he concealed himself, two figures landed quickly in the courtyard.

Making use of the Concealment feature of his black cloak, Lin Xuan reigned in his aura and stealthily looked out using his Pupil Skill.

He saw two figures standing in the yard, one a beautiful silhouette in a white dress with a light veil over her face, her features unclear.

But Lin Xuan could sense this woman was definitely beautiful.

Beside her stood a Five-Colored Peacock.

Its feathers, as bright as a rainbow, were strikingly colorful.

However, the peacock seemed agitated as if it was drawn by something.

What could possibly be here that attracted two Exotic Beasts?

Lin Xuan was greatly surprised.

Both the Five-Colored Peacock and the Snow White Monkey were not ordinary Demon Beasts—it must be something extraordinary to excite them so.

The Snow White Monkey blinked its gem-like large eyes, looking pitifully up at Lin Xuan.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely get it for you,” Lin Xuan gently patted its head to comfort it.

The beautiful white silhouette and the Five-Colored Peacock were also cautiously observing their surroundings, ensuring no one was around, before they headed into the house.

Lin Xuan did not act recklessly: he planned to change his position to continue the investigation.

At that moment, a cry of surprise came from inside the house.

Lin Xuan was startled and swiftly sensed his surroundings.

Soon, the white figure and the Five-Colored Peacock retreated back into the yard.

The two watched the interior of the house tensely, as if they were extremely wary of the person inside.

“Cackle!”

A strange cry rang out, followed by the appearance of a fiery red figure in the courtyard.

The man was clad in a red robe, adorned with the image of a three-headed strange bird, quite eerie.

“Since you’ve come, why bother leaving,” the voice was ethereal.

“Hmph, playing the ghost!” The woman in white snorted coldly.

“This peacock is not bad, it can stay here,” his robe radiated light, and a red head appeared in front of him.

Boom!

The head of the monstrous bird, as large as a house, opened its mouth wide and spewed out a massive fireball.

Like a falling meteor, it burned continuously and rushed rapidly toward the five-colored peacock.

“Hmph!”

The woman in white snorted coldly, drew out a hexagonal ancient mirror, and activated her spiritual power, aiming it forward.

Instantly, a white beam of light blasted out, hurtling towards the giant fireball.

The air vibrated, and the white light, like a sharp divine spear, shattered the red fireball in an instant.

However, the shattered flames quickly changed in the air, raining down like fire, all heading toward the five-colored peacock.

The five-colored peacock raised its proud head, its feathers in the back fluttering to create a green light screen.

Sizzle!

Like ice and snow melting, the flames quickly extinguished.

Seeing this, the five-colored peacock uttered two disdainful cries.

“Not bad, indeed it’s an exotic peacock, perhaps it will like this,” the red-robed man sneered, waving his sleeve robe, sweeping downwards.

The surrounding spiritual energy vibrated, and a bird with a completely red body appeared on the ground.

This bird had three heads, but the two on the sides had their eyes narrowed as if slumbering.

Only the central head was wide awake, those eyes like red jewels.

“What kind of strange bird is this?” Lin Xuan was greatly surprised.

“A three-headed Zhu Xue Bird, unexpected to see such a thing here,” Lord of Wine was also astonished.

“Is it very powerful?” asked Lin Xuan.

“Powerful?

It’s terrifying!

If it’s an adult three-headed Zhu Xue Bird, it could devour a Spirit Communication Realm martial artist in one bite.”

“And a fully-grown three-headed Zhu Xue Bird has the ability to destroy heaven and earth.”

“Swallow a Spirit Communication Realm martial artist in one bite!” Lin Xuan was shocked, as the most powerful martial artist he had seen so far was a Spirit Communication Realm warrior.

A person who could subjugate a nation, their strength undoubtedly terrifying.

Yet, such a warrior was merely the food for a three-headed Zhu Xue Bird,

One could imagine the terror of the three-headed Zhu Xue Bird.

“What of it,” Lord of Wine snorted coldly, “this bird is said to be related to the Hell Netherworld.”

“Its three heads represent three attributes: fire, wind, and thunder.

An adult three-headed Zhu Xue Bird can reach the strength of a Venerable Level without any cultivation.”

“That’s insane,” Lin Xuan gasped in amazement.

“However, although the three-headed Zhu Xue Bird is powerful, it’s extremely difficult for it to grow.”

“It not only requires a large amount of wind, fire, and thunder attribute resources, but it also needs the blood of other demon beasts for tempering, and after a century, it can reach adulthood.”

“As it should,” Lin Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing these stringent conditions.

“Does this person possess a three-headed Zhu Xue Bird, could it be he deliberately lured people here to then devour their demon beast essence blood?” Lin Xuan became vigilant.

In the courtyard, when the three-headed Zhu Xue Bird appeared, the five-colored peacock showed extreme unease.

It shone with a green brilliance over its body, forming a solid defense.

“Cackle, obediently become its food!” exclaimed the red-robed man.

Just as he was about to act, another potent presence approached the courtyard rapidly.

The woman in white turned her head, her face showing caution, while the red-robed man was ecstatic.

A man clad in bronze armor descended in the middle of the courtyard.
