After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 239 Thousand Skull Devourer
After Zhao Zhan and Zhao Xiaoxiao introduced Lin Zhao to the Zhao family, Lin Zhao chatted with them for a few minutes before turning to Zhao Zhan with a headache and leaving the matter to him.

She barely manages the affairs of the Lin family, let alone the affairs of the Zhao family.

Zhao Zhan asked somewhat helplessly, "Aunt Ling'er, with your strength, you must be one of the strongest in our Zhao family's Fusion Stage generation. Is it really okay for you to shirk your responsibilities like this?"

Lin Zhao said very seriously, "Everyone has their own expertise. I am really not good at this. It is better to leave it to you professionals."

Then, Lin Zhao asked, "Do you know which of the first eight people Lu Xiuya is closest to? Or rather, who is he most likely to invite to deal with me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxiao said in surprise, "Lu Xiuya is, after all, the second young master of the Lu family of Xianlin. Surely he wouldn't be so petty?"

In her opinion, Lin Zhao hadn't done anything to Lu Xiuya, even though Lu Xiuya had gone far too far with the Zhao family.

Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "Tolerance is not about looking at things, but about looking at people."

Zhao Zhan knew more than his sister, saying, "Lu Xiuya has good relationships with all the top ten, but the others in the top ten are all exceptionally talented and won't be easily invited. If I had to name one who would come, it would be the third-ranked little witch, Qian..."

Before Zhao Zhan could finish speaking, a clear female voice came from the horizon: "People of the Zhao family in District 14, call out Zhao Ling'er! Your great-aunt Qian Miao challenges her."

Lin Zhao met the terrified gazes of the brother and sister opposite him and laughed: "You really think highly of me, inviting one of the top three to deal with me."

Before she could say another word, Qian Miao knocked away the two Zhao family members blocking her way and stormed over aggressively.

After Lin Zhao saw the girl who had barged in, he instantly understood why she was called a witch.

With red hair and red eyes, she wore a loose black Taoist robe, her slender waist held together only by a string of crimson beads, exuding a lazy and casual beauty. Only her crimson eyes carried a hint of wild and untamed arrogance.

Qian Miao walked up to Lin Zhao, crossed her arms, and asked with a smile, "So you're Zhao Ling'er?"

Of all the cultivators in the Fusion stage here, only the girl before him could give him this feeling of being in an abyss.

Lin Zhao performed a greeting as a peer, and to her surprise, Qian Miao returned the greeting in kind.

Seeing Lin Zhao's surprise, Qian Miao explained, "Although you took Lu Xiuya's order, it doesn't change the fact that I feel you're not such a bad person."

Changing the subject abruptly, Qian Miao reached behind her with one hand, and a blood-red curved blade appeared in her hand: "But I took the job, so Fellow Daoist Ling'er, you can't blame me. But you should be glad that Lu Xiuya hired me, because the two before me were both deadly characters."

Lin Zhao didn't waste any words, laying the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword horizontally in his hand, "Please."

Almost without anyone saying "start," the two rushed towards each other simultaneously.

The moment Qian Miao approached Lin Zhao, he laughed heartily, his body swirling with blood energy. This fierce and imposing appearance gave Lin Zhao a sense of déjà vu.

Qian Miao leaped upwards with her toes, her curved blade slashing horizontally towards Lin Zhao's waist. Lin Zhao's sword grazed the blood-red curved blade, and the clash of swords sparked bright flames.

In that instant, Lin Zhao poured Golden Crow Divine Fire into the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword, and the next moment, he used all his strength to knock the red scimitar in Qian Miao's hand away from below.

Qian Miao's hand went numb from the shock. Looking down at her aching hand, she saw several obvious cracks. She looked up at Lin Zhao again and exclaimed, "Terrifying soul strength!" Her soul strength, nurtured by the family's abundant resources, was already comparable to some high-quality immortal beasts. Yet, in this clash of swords and the struggle of soul power, Lin Zhao disarmed her and injured her hand in just one exchange. The difference in their strength was undeniable.

Clearly, Lin Zhao's spiritual strength is probably approaching that of some divine beasts with strong bloodlines.

In other words, Qianmiao found it hard to imagine that the person standing in front of her was a human being.

However, considering the Zhao family of Xianlin, it doesn't seem impossible.

Qian Miao sighed: "If you think you can beat me just by your spiritual strength, you're being too naive. I'm not a young master like Lu Xiuya who comes from a top-tier immortal sect."

Her strength was earned through countless bloody battles. The name "Little Witch" refers not only to her appearance but also to her fighting methods!
Qian Miao's eyelashes trembled, her eyes turned crimson, and the blood-red droplets around her quickly condensed into ten spiritual energy vortexes.

Upon seeing this, Lin Zhao's expression hardened.

There are ten spiritual energy vortexes, which is one more than I have.

Lin Zhao didn't have time to explore how much spiritual energy flow was in the other party's spiritual energy vortex. Qian Miao waved her hands, and the faint scarlet spiritual light on her palms gathered into palm prints. As the two palm prints detached from her palms and grew in size upon seeing the light, Qian Miao quickly formed hand seals. The other Fusion stage cultivators only had time to see the afterimages of Qian Miao's hand seals and the streams of light flying from her fingertips.

The streams of light seemed to possess their own sentience and merged into the scarlet palm print.

The scarlet palm print did not strike Lin Zhao, but changed its posture after the spiritual light merged in, with its five fingers pointing inward and turning upward.

Qian Miao parted her red lips slightly: "Thousand Skull Devouring Demon Fist".

The spiritual light flowing within the inverted crimson palm print slowly lit up. To the cultivators below, it seemed as if pairs of golden eyes had opened on the giant palm. As these eyes tried to open, they left behind dark red liquid, making the scene exceptionally eerie.

Before those golden eyes fully opened, the inverted hand made a grasping motion upwards, transforming into a giant fist.

Perhaps defeating an opponent with a palm print requires distinguishing between the palm and the back of the hand, but if it becomes a giant, blood-red fist, then that's unnecessary.

As the enormous fist approached, Lin Zhao realized that those golden eyes were not eyes at all, but mouths. In other words, before the full-scale attack, instead of eyes struggling to open, enormous mouths were dripping with drool.

Rather than saying the fist fell when the time was right, it's more accurate to say that these hungry and greedy mouths controlled its fall, wanting to devour them.

Lin Zhao was disgusted by his own thoughts, and at the same time, he was terrified by this bizarre spiritual technique.

The methods of this cultivator from the upper realm are indeed far superior to those of ordinary geniuses from other planes.

Lin Zhao neither dodged nor evaded. With a single movement, her aura changed. She was still the same person, but at this moment, she exuded a sense of calm and composure, like a mountain. Lin Zhao raised the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword, her eyes flashing with purple light. Then, she took a step forward, her phoenix wings unfurling behind her, and the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword drew ripples in the air.

However, apart from these ripples, this sword strike had no sword light or sword aura. It was as if Lin Zhao had just stood there for a long time and casually swung his sword. You couldn't even feel the sharpness and fierceness of a swordsman when he drew his sword.

Some members of the Zhao family no longer dared to watch Lin Zhao use such a sword strike to block Qian Miao's Thousand Skull Devouring Fist.
