tián xiǎo jiàn xiàn rù le wēi jī ， lín lín xuǎn zì rán méi yǒu kàn zhe tā dǎo méi de dào lǐ ， liǎng rén shì dí shì yǒu zàn qiě bù tí ， yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， dāng rán bú huì ràng yāo mó gè gè jī pò 。
田小剑陷入了危机，林林选自然没有看着他倒霉的道理，两人是敌是友暂且不提，以林轩的城府，当然不会让妖魔各个击破。
Tian Xiaojian was caught in a crisis, and Lin Xuan naturally wouldn’t let him suffer alone. Whether they were allies or enemies for now didn’t matter; with Lin Xuan’s deep scheming mind, he certainly wouldn’t allow the demons to take them down one by one.
zhāng kāi kǒu ， yī tuán jīng xuè pēn chū 。
张开口，一团精血喷出。
Opening his mouth, a glob of fresh blood spewed out.
nà xuè wù xùn bèi fú bǎo xī shōu le jìn qù ， suí hòu líng guāng yī shǎn ， cǐ fú wú fēng zì rán ， yī dào lán méng méng de guāng zhù chū xiàn zài le yǎn qián 。
那血雾迅被符宝吸收了进去，随后灵光一闪，此符无风自燃，一道蓝蒙蒙的光柱出现在了眼前。
The blood mist was quickly absorbed by the talisman treasure. Following that, a flash of light appeared, and the talisman ignited on its own, producing a blue beam of light before him.
líng yā cóng tiān ér jiàng ， zhǐ jiàn guāng zhù zhī zhōng ， fú wén ruò dé ruò xiàn ， qí zhōng zuì yǐn rén zhǔ rì de shì yī gēn chǐ xǔ zhǎng de zhēn zhuàng fǎ bǎo 。
灵压从天而降，只见光柱之中，符文若德若现，其中最引人瞩日的是一根尺许长的针状法宝。
A spiritual pressure descended from the heavens. In the center of the beam, the talisman script flickered in and out, with the most eye-catching feature being an inch-long needle-shaped magical treasure.
zhōu wéi de wēn dù xùn jiàng dī ， cǐ bǎo jù yǒu hán bīng xìng zhì 。
周围的温度迅降低，此宝具有寒冰性质。
The temperature around them rapidly dropped; this treasure had a cold ice nature.
suí hòu lín xuān gǎn jué hún shēn de fǎ lì ， rú jué dī zhī shuǐ yì bān ， xiàng zhe nà dào guāng zhù kuáng yǒng ér qù 。
随后林轩感觉浑身的法力，如决堤之水一般，向着那道光柱狂涌而去。
Next, Lin Xuan felt his mana surging like a dam breaking, rushing towards that blue beam of light.
ruò huàn yí gè rén ， shí yǒu ** huì dà jīng shī sè ， dàn lín xuān yǐ qián shì yòng guò fú bǎo de ， liǎn shàng zì rán bú huì lù chū shī tài de biǎo qíng lái le 。
若换一个人，十有**会大惊失色，但林轩以前是用过符宝的，脸上自然不会露出失态的表情来了。
If it were anyone else, they would likely be shocked and alarmed. But Lin Xuan was not one to hesitate; he immediately channeled more mana into the talisman treasure, making the number of blue threads seem to increase slightly.
fǎn ér xī le kǒu qì ， zhǔ dòng ràng zhòu bǎo xī shōu zì jǐ de fǎ lì 。 hū de yī shēng ， guāng zhù bào kāi ， wàn qiān lán sè sī máng chū xiàn ， rú màn tiān de xì yǔ yì bān 。
反而吸了口气，主动让荮宝吸收自己的法力。呼的一声，光柱爆开，万千蓝色丝芒出现，如漫天的细雨一般。
In an instant, a burst of sound echoed, and the rate at which the demon’s aura disintegrated doubled, retreating further back...
shēng shì jīng rén yǐ jí ， suí hòu lín xuān yì diǎn zhǐ ， nà dào lán sè de “ yǔ mù ” jiù xiàng mó bǎo de jiàn máng yā le guò qù 。
声势惊人以极，随后林轩一点指，那道蓝色的“雨幕”就像魔宝的剑芒压了过去。
The demon's eyes bulged with fury as his aura began to crack. Not only had he failed to gain anything from this mission; he had even damaged his treasure.
tián xiǎo jiàn dà xǐ ， shēn xíng xiàng hòu jī shè ér qù ， tā kě bù yuàn yì bèi zhè kě pà de duì hōng yāng jí 。
田小剑大喜，身形向后激射而去，他可不愿意被这可怕的对轰殃及。
How could it be!
liǎng dào qiáng hèng de gōng jī zhōng yú zhuàng zài le yì qǐ 。
两道强横的攻击终于撞在了一起。
With a flick of his sleeve, the long spear shot out, and Lin Xuan grabbed it tightly before slashing down fiercely. A flash of green light—however, the old demon did not fall but instead revealed a severed arm.
zhěng gè kōng jiān fǎng fú dōu zhèn dòng le yī xià ， dì biǎo jūn liè ， hēi qì lán guāng xùn jiāo jiē zài yì qǐ ， yǐ shí lì lái shuō ， lín xuān suī rán shén tōng chū zhòng ， dàn miàn duì hòu qī yāo mó ， zhè yàng yìng zá ， míng xiǎn bú shì shén me míng zhì xuǎn zé ， děng yú yǐ jǐ zhī duǎn ， gōng dí zhī zhǎng ， bì jìng jiù fǎ lì de liàng lái shuō ， tā jué duì bù jí duì fāng 。
整个空间仿佛都震动了一下，地表龟裂，黑气蓝光迅交接在一起，以实力来说，林轩虽然神通出众，但面对后期妖魔，这样硬砸，明显不是什么明智选择，等于以己之短，攻敌之长，毕竟就法力的量来说，他绝对不及对方。
A Substitute Body for Transmigration. Even with Lin Xuan's scheming mind, he couldn’t help widening his eyes in surprise. The demon had already cut off its hand and was now willing to sacrifice the last one as well. What was it trying to do?
rán ér lín xuān cǐ kè shǒu zhōng suǒ dòng yòng de ， nǎi shì lí hé qī xiū shì de fú bǎo 。 yǒu le zhè yàng de nì tiān zhī wù ， jié guǒ zì rán yòu shì liǎng shuō ， bù néng zài yǐ cháng lǐ chuài dù 。
然而林轩此刻手中所动用的，乃是离合期修士的符宝。有了这样的逆天之物，结果自然又是两说，不能再以常理踹度。
Lin Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.
hōng lōng lóng de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， hěn kuài nà lán sè de líng guāng jiù jiàn jiàn yā zhù le hēi máng ， mó qì suī rán shàng wèi bēng kuì ， dàn yě kāi shǐ huǎn màn de bīng xiāo wǎ jiě 。
轰隆隆的爆裂声传入耳朵，很快那蓝色的灵光就渐渐压住了黑芒，魔气虽然尚未崩溃，但也开始缓慢的冰消瓦解。
"Boy, you’ve pushed me to this point. Very well, I’ll use this body..."
yāo mó liǎn sè qīng qǐ lái ， dàn tā hái lái bù jí yǒu suǒ dòng zuò ， wàn qiān guǐ míng chuán rù ěr duǒ guǎng píng xīn lái shuō ， tián xiǎo jiàn yǔ lín xuān shì yī lù huò sè ， tòng dǎ shǐ shuǐ gǒu zhè yàng de shì qíng tā liǎ dōu shì zuì xǐ huān de 。
妖魔脸色青起来，但他还来不及有所动作，万千鬼鸣传入耳朵广平心来说，田小剑与林轩是一路货色，痛打始水狗这样的事情他俩都是最喜欢的。
He wouldn’t even spare your souls.
yǎn jiàn lín xuān zhàn dào shàng fēng ， tián xiǎo jiàn shuāng shǒu xū wò ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， yōu míng suì xīn jiàn dī liū liū xuán zhuǎn ， zhōu wéi de yīn qì rú hǎi nà bǎi chuān ， quán dōu bèi gǔ xī shōu le qǐ lái 。
眼见林轩占到上风，田小剑双手虚握，一道法诀打出，幽冥碎心剑滴溜溜旋转，周围的阴气如海纳百川，全都被牯吸收了起来。
A venomous voice echoed in their ears, followed by ripples in the space as the demon’s figure appeared, only a few dozen feet away from Lin Xuan and Tian Xiaojian.
suí hòu cǐ jiàn yíng fēng kuáng zhǎng ， zú yǒu shí yú zhàng zhǎng 。 jiàn shēn biàn chéng le xuè hóng zhī sè ， qī zhāng guǐ liǎn fú xiàn chū lái 。 yī gǔ lìng rén zuò ǒu de xiōng lì zhī qì zài zhōu wéi sàn kāi 。“ zhè shì yī yī yī yī yī yī ”
随后此剑迎风狂涨，足有十余丈长。剑身变成了血红之色，七张鬼脸浮现出来。一股令人作呕的凶戾之气在周围散开。“这是一一一一一一”
Both were greatly alarmed; they couldn’t retrieve their talisman treasures in time. Lin Xuan reached into his waistband, and the Green Fire Sword reappeared, slicing towards the opposite side with the force of a thunderbolt.
yāo mó tóng kǒng jiǎo suō ， biǎo qíng yuè de nán kàn le ， yī xiē dǐng jí mó gōng zhōng de mì shù ， jù shuō kě yǐ gé jiè jiè yòng xiē xǔ mó zǔ de lì liàng 。
妖魔瞳孔徼缩，表情越的难看了，一些顶级魔功中的秘术，据说可以隔界借用些许魔祖的力量。
Tian Xiaojian’s reaction was swift as well; he opened his mouth, and a golden ray shot out, forming a brick-like shape that grew to house size before slamming forward.
dàn cǐ lèi gōng fǎ shǎo zhī yòu shǎo ， lián tā yě jǐn jǐn shì tīng shuō ， bìng wèi qīn yǎn jiàn guò 。
但此类功法少之又少，连他也仅仅是听说，并未亲眼见过。
Despite losing an arm, they couldn’t afford any complacency. The two magical treasures approaching them did not dodge but instead revealed a mocking expression on the demon's lips.
méi xiǎng dào zhè xìng tián de xiǎo jiā huo ……
没想到这姓田的小家伙……
With a whoosh, the demon’s body burst into rolling inferno... no, it was his entire body that ignited.
dāng rán ， tián xiǎo jiàn shì xiū guǐ zhě ， suī rán bèi huà wèi mó dào fēn zhī ， dàn liǎng zhě qí shí fēng mǎ niú bù xiāng jí ， tā jiè yòng de nǎi shì yīn sī jiè dà yāo guǐ zhī lì 。
当然，田小剑是修鬼者，虽然被划为魔道分支，但两者其实风马牛不相及，他借用的乃是阴司界大妖鬼之力。
In the blink of an eye, the giant demonic figure turned to ashes, black flames burning half the sky and enveloping Lin Xuan and Tian Xiaojian.
shuō qǐ yīn sī jiè ， zhè shì yí gè shí fēn tè shū de jiè miàn 。
说起阴司界，这是一个十分特殊的界面。
However, the old demon wasn’t planning on dying with them. In the flames, a red ball glowed—a remnant of its essence.
suǒ wèi yīn sī ， qí shí yě jiù shì huáng quán dì fǔ 。
所谓阴司，其实也就是黄泉地府。
"Boy, you can rest assured; my self-sacrificing inferno can even burn away your souls. So don’t expect to reincarnate," the demon laughed madly.
gēn jù zuì xīn de jiè miàn zhī shuō ， líng jiè ， gǔ mó jiè zhè yàng de shàng wèi jiè miàn shì wéi yī de 。
根据最新的界面之说，灵界，古魔界这样的上位界面是唯一的。
Lin Xuan frowned. He had never faced such an insane opponent before—someone who would destroy their own body just to kill them. While higher-stage existences could possess others, the new body wouldn’t be as good as their original one due to the constraints of cosmic laws.
xī rén jiè gòng yǒu jiǔ chù ， yīn sī jiè zé yǔ liù dào lún huí xiāng àn hé ， yǒu liù gè ， yě shì xià wèi jiè miàn 。
西人界共有九处，阴司界则与六道轮回相暗合，有六个，也是下位界面。
The flames surged fiercely, leaving no place for him to hide. Despite being enveloped in fire, Lin Xuan maintained a calm expression. Panicking was useless; he channeled another spell, and the Golden Dragon Shield reappeared as a light screen, protecting him once more.
rán ér yǔ rén jiè zuì gāo cún zài jǐn jǐn shì lí hé qī xiū shì bù tóng ， liù gè yīn sī jiè de lì liàng zhī hé ， jué bù bǐ líng jiè ， gǔ mó jiè ruò 。
然而与人界最高存在仅仅是离合期修士不同，六个阴司界的力量之和，绝不比灵界，古魔界弱。
Lin Xuan had full confidence in this shield’s defense. Although the demon’s desperate magic was formidable, it could still withstand for some time. He had plenty of time to plan his escape.
lí hé ， dòng xuán ， shèn zhì gèng lì hài de dà yāo guǐ dōu shì cún zài de 。
离合，洞玄，甚至更厉害的大妖鬼都是存在的。
However, Lin Xuan found himself overly optimistic. The self-sacrificing inferno was much stronger than he anticipated; as soon as it touched him, the light screen began flashing wildly, teetering on the brink of collapse.
dàn cǐ jiè nǎi shì huáng quán dì fǔ ， suǒ yǐ chú le sǐ hòu de hún pò ， xiū guǐ zhě zì rán bú huì fēi shēng dào nà lǐ qù de ， bǐ rú shuō yuè ér ， rú yǒu lí hé qī de yī tiān ， tóng yàng shì suí lín xuān fēi shēng dào líng jiè 。
但此界乃是黄泉地府，所以除了死后的魂魄，修鬼者自然不会飞升到那里去的，比如说月儿，如有离合期的一天，同样是随林轩飞升到灵界。
Lin Xuan was shocked and immediately channeled all his mana into the shield, stabilizing it once more.
tián xiǎo jiàn cǐ shí yě shì xià le xuè běn ， bì jìng miàn duì yuán yīng hòu qī de yāo mó ， bǎo cún shí lì ， gēn běn jiù shì jí duān yú chǔn de 。
田小剑此时也是下了血本，毕竟面对元婴后期的妖魔，保存实力，根本就是极端愚蠢的。
But Lin Xuan’s expression did not improve. At this rate, his internal mana would be exhausted in just a few minutes. Even with a Storage Bag to recover, it wouldn’t help much.
ruò shì lín xuān luò bài ， zì jǐ de xià chǎng yě jué duì hǎo bù dào nǎ ér qù 。
若是林轩落败，自己的下场也绝对好不到哪儿去。
What should he do?
liǎng shǒu yī hé ， yī dào cū yú ér bì de fǎ jué dǎ chū 。
两手一合，一道粗逾儿臂的法诀打出。
For the first time, Lin Xuan felt that his fall was imminent—even more so than when facing Kala Ancient Demon.
wēng yī yī yī yī yī
嗡一一一一一
Actually, it wasn’t surprising. Self-sacrificing inferno had been famous in ancient times; an early-stage ancient demon once used this technique to kill a late-stage cultivator.
yōu míng suì xīn jiàn zhèn hào qǐ lái ， hěn hěn de xiàng xià yī zhǎn 。
幽冥碎心剑震颢起来，狠狠的向下一斩。
Now, with a later-stage demon using it, its power could only be imagined.
méi yǒu jiàn guāng ， ér shì qī zhāng guǐ liǎn ， liàn chéng yī xiàn ， yī shǎn jí shì de jī shè xiàng le qián miàn 。
没有剑光，而是七张鬼脸，练成一线，一闪即逝的激射像了前面。
"You’ve resorted to such self-destructive secret techniques just to kill us. Even if you win, what benefit does that bring to you?" Tian Xiaojian was both shocked and angry as he spoke coldly.
lín xuān dà xǐ ， èr huà bù shuō lián cuī fǎ lì ， wǎng shēn qián de fú bǎo kuáng zhù jìn qù ， nà xiē lán sè sī máng de shù liàng ， fǎng fú yòu duō le yī fēn de yàng zi 。
林轩大喜，二话不说连催法力，往身前的符宝狂注进去，那些蓝色丝芒的数量，仿佛又多了一分的样子。
"Hmph, self-sacrifice? I wouldn’t use it regularly, but now that the demon progenitor’s essence has successfully descended into my body, I will be reborn with a much stronger form. What difference does losing this body make?" The demon’s essence sneered, exuding an arrogant demeanor.
qǐng kè zhī jiān ， bào liè shēng chuán lái ， mó qì wǎ jiě de dù zēng jiā le bèi xǔ ， jié jié bài tuì de xiàng hòu xí juǎn ér qù ……
顷刻之间，爆裂声传来，魔气瓦解的度增加了倍许，节节败退的向后席卷而去……
"Demipower of the Demon Progenitor?" Lin Xuan was stunned but didn’t take it seriously. In his current perilous situation, escaping was his top priority; overthinking would be useless.
yāo mó mù zì yù liè ， suí zháo mó qì bīng xiāo wǎ jiě ， wú shù liè wén ， jìng rán yě chū xiàn zài le mó bǎo zhī shàng 。
妖魔目眦欲裂，随着魔气冰消瓦解，无数裂纹，竟然也出现在了魔宝之上。
Tian Xiaojian was even more dangerous than Lin Xuan. Although he had reached late-stage Immortal Core after using the Soul Fusion Technique, his defensive magical treasures were clearly inferior to the Golden Dragon Shield. Thus, in the same amount of time, he consumed more mana.
cǐ xíng bù jǐn méi yǒu shōu huò ， fǎn ér jiāng bǎo wù gěi chì le 。
此行不仅没有收获，反而将宝物给翅了。
On another side,
kě bèi !
可惫!
North True Lord’s expression changed as he used a later-stage cultivator’s divine sense to cover a hundred miles easily. However, at such a distance, all he could feel was a vague presence; he couldn’t discern what exactly had happened.
tā de yī zhèn mó hú ， bàn suí zhe qī lì de háo jiào ， jìng rán cóng yuán dì xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
他的一阵模糊，伴随着凄厉的嚎叫，竟然从原地消失得无影无踪。
Observing the faint black figure in the distance, North True Lord showed a thoughtful look and decided not to linger any longer.
suō dì shù !
缩地术!
With a wave of his sleeve, a beam of light shot out from his sleeve, hovering before him. It turned out to be a book with an ancient style but only a dozen or so pages. Such treasures were rare.
lín xuān yī dāi ， lüè lüè gǎn dào yǒu xiē yì wài ， mò fēi zhè jiā huo qì fēng le ， tā yīng gāi zhī dào zhè kōng jiān shén tōng ， duì zì jǐ méi yòng 。
林轩一呆，略略感到有些意外，莫非这家伙气疯了，他应该知道这空间神通，对自己没用。
The giant anteater’s eyes flashed with caution; even though it hadn’t successfully awakened its spirit intelligence, as a late-stage transformed creature, it could sense danger instinctively.
xiù páo yī fú ， nà zhǎng gē yǐ fēi lüè ér chū ， lín xuān shēn shǒu wò zhù ， hěn hěn de xiàng xià zhǎn luò 。 qīng guāng yī shǎn yī yī yī yī yī yī rán ér lǎo mó bìng méi yǒu diē zhuàng chū lái ， fǎn ér shì yī jié duàn bì chū xiàn zài le yǎn qián 。
袖袍一拂，那长戈已飞掠而出，林轩伸手握住，狠狠的向下斩落。青光一闪一一一一一一然而老魔并没有跌撞出来，反而是一截断臂出现在了眼前。
Opening its blood-filled mouth, it shot out dozens of light beams...
Tian Xiaojian was caught in a crisis, and Lin Xuan naturally wouldn’t let him suffer alone. Whether they were allies or enemies for now didn’t matter; with Lin Xuan’s deep scheming mind, he certainly wouldn’t allow the demons to take them down one by one.
Opening his mouth, a glob of fresh blood spewed out.

The temperature around them rapidly dropped; this treasure had a cold ice nature.
Next, Lin Xuan felt his mana surging like a dam breaking, rushing towards that blue beam of light.
If it were anyone else, they would likely be shocked and alarmed. But Lin Xuan was not one to hesitate; he immediately channeled more mana into the talisman treasure, making the number of blue threads seem to increase slightly.
In an instant, a burst of sound echoed, and the rate at which the demon’s aura disintegrated doubled, retreating further back...
The demon's eyes bulged with fury as his aura began to crack. Not only had he failed to gain anything from this mission; he had even damaged his treasure.
How could it be!
With a flick of his sleeve, the long spear shot out, and Lin Xuan grabbed it tightly before slashing down fiercely. A flash of green light—however, the old demon did not fall but instead revealed a severed arm.
