bù tíng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zài yù luó fēng de dú zhēn xià yǔn luò 。
不停传入耳朵，在玉罗蜂的毒针下陨落。
Continuous sounds of screams reached his ears, falling to their deaths under the venomous stings of the Jade Lotus Bee.
dāng rán ， zhè bù fèn xiū xiān zhě ， bìng fēi rén rén dōu méi yǒu huán shǒu zhī lì ， xiāng dāng yī bù fèn yǐ yōng yǒu gāo jiē líng qì 。
当然，这部分修仙者，并非人人都没有还手之力，相当一部分已拥有高阶灵器。
Of course, not all these cultivators were utterly helpless. Quite a number already possessed high-grade spiritual artifacts.
fǎ wú shì wàn fú zōng pú tí yuàn de yī míng wài shì dì zǐ ， suī rán jǐn jǐn zhù jī zhōng qī ， dàn zuò wèi qī dà shì lì de xiū shì ， shén tōng yě zì bù sú ， shǒu zhōng de yuán bō ， gèng shì yī pǐn zhì bù dī de líng qì 。
法无是万佛宗菩提院的一名外事弟子，虽然仅仅筑基中期，但做为七大势力的修士，神通也自不俗，手中的圆钵，更是一品质不低的灵器。
Fa Wen was an external affairs disciple at the Bodhi Hall of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect. Although he was only at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, as a cultivator from one of the Seven Great Forces, his abilities were not to be underestimated. The round bowl in his hand was also a low-grade spiritual artifact.
yǎn jiàn yī xíng mào zhēng níng de yù luó fēng fēi xiàng zì jǐ ， fǎ yuán liǎn shàng lù chū níng zhòng zhī sè ， bì jìng cǎn jiào shēng hái zài bù tíng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tā qǐ gǎn yǒu sī háo qīng xīn dài màn de 。
眼见一形貌狰狞的玉罗蜂飞向自己，法元脸上露出凝重之色，毕竟惨叫声还在不停传入耳朵，他岂敢有丝毫轻心怠慢的。
Seeing a grotesque-looking Jade Lotus Bee flying towards him, Fa Yuan's face turned grave. After all, the screams still echoed in his ears; he couldn't afford any carelessness.
shuāng shǒu yī hé ， yī dào fú zhōng ÷ tōng dǎ chū ， nà yuán bō yíng fēng jiù zhǎng ， fàng chū yī piàn jīn sè de xiá guāng ， jiāng tā shēn tǐ bào guǒ ， zhè jiàn líng qì suī méi yǒu sī háo qǐ yǎn zhī chù ， dàn què yǒu zhe gōng shǒu jiān bèi de xiào guǒ 。
双手一合，一道佛舯÷通打出，那圆钵迎风就涨，放出一片金色的霞光，将他身体抱裹，这件灵器虽没有丝毫起眼之处，但却有着攻守兼备的效果。
He clapped his hands together and shot out a Buddhist light. The round bowl expanded as if it were being inflated by the wind, emitting a golden glow that enveloped his body. Although this spiritual artifact was unremarkable, it had both offensive and defensive capabilities.
bù qiú yǒu gōng dàn qiú wú guò ， xiān jiāng zì shēn de ān quán wèn tí jiě jué le 。
不求有功但求无过，先将自身的安全问题解决了。
Without seeking glory but avoiding blame, he first secured his own safety.
suí hòu fǎ wú shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài tóu dǐng měng rán yī pāi ， dà kǒu zhāng kāi ， yī dào ròu yǎn kě jiàn de yīn bō pēn shè chū lái 。
随后法无伸出手来，在头顶猛然一拍，大口张开，一道肉眼可见的音波喷射出来。
Next, Fa Wen stretched out his hand and struck his head with a loud snap. A visible sound wave shot out from his mouth.
shī zi hǒu ！ qí shí zài fó mén de zhū duō shén tōng zhī zhōng ， zhè bìng bù suàn rú hé liǎo bù qǐ de mì shù ， zhù jī chéng gōng jí kě xiū xí ， zhǐ bù guò yóu bù tóng děng jí de hé shàng zú ， zhǎn ， xiào guǒ zì rán yǒu rú yún ní yì bān 。
狮子吼！其实在佛门的诸多神通之中，这并不算如何了不起的秘术，筑基成功即可修习，只不过由不同等级的和尚族，展，效果自然有如云泥一般。
Lion's Roar! This wasn't an extraordinary secret technique in the Buddhist sect; anyone could learn it after successfully establishing their foundation. However, the effectiveness varied greatly depending on the cultivator's level of mastery. Many low-rank cultivators had been killed by these bees, and this one was indeed terrifying with its agility and seemingly endless life force.
zhè tū lǘ dào yě cōng míng ， àn zhào cuàn lǐ lái shuō ， duì fù mó chóng yòng yīn bō zuì yǒu xiào guǒ 「 kě xī zhè yī huí tā shī suàn le 。
这秃驴倒也聪明，按照窜理来说，对付魔虫用音波最有效果「可惜这一回他失算了。
Even if cut into two halves or even decapitated, a severely injured bee could still survive for half an hour before dying. Moreover, in such a state, it became more frenzied, fighting to the death.
rú guǒ shì yuán yīng qī lǎo guài wù shī zhǎn shī zi hǒu ， bǐng wèi chéng shú de yù luó fēng zì rán dé tuì bì sān shè ， rán ér jiù tā zhè diǎn shén tōng ， shēn wèi mán huāng qí chóng ， mó fēng hái bù fàng zài yǎn zhōng ， shì ruò wú dǔ ， yē chì fēi guò qù le 。
如果是元婴期老怪物施展狮子吼，丙未成熟的玉罗蜂自然得退避三舍，然而就他这点神通，身为蛮荒奇虫，魔蜂还不放在眼中，视若无睹，掖翅飞过去了。
With fear and不甘, the "talented" young man from the Wei family felt his body go numb as if his mana had been stripped away.
wēng ！ nà shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， fǎ wú liǎn sè kuáng biàn ， fǎng fú tīng jiàn le gōu hún mó yīn yì bān ， kě duǒ yǐ jīng lái bù jí ， mó fēng zhuàng shàng guāng mù ， shì tou bèi zǔ ， fǎ wú sōng le kǒu qì ， hái hǎo zì jǐ xiān bù xià shǒu fáng yù ， tā zhèng xiǎng shī zhǎn bié de fǎ shù miè dí ， tū rán jīng è de dèng dà le yǎn zhū 。
嗡！那声音传入耳朵，法无脸色狂变，仿佛听见了勾魂魔音一般，可躲已经来不及，魔蜂撞上光幕，势头被阻，法无松了口气，还好自己先布下手防御，他正想施展别的法术灭敌，突然惊愕的瞪大了眼珠。
On another side, a one-eyed monk spat flames, enveloping the bees that attacked him. He was already at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and his innate true fire was quite mysterious, having killed many peers before. These magical insects were indeed terrifying with their agility and life force, but being burned to ashes meant they couldn't attack him. A smirk appeared on his face.
yù luó fēng chōng pò le yǎn qián de guāng mù ， zhù yǎn qián de fáng yù wèi wú wù ， nán dào zhè zhǒng mó chóng ， jìng dài yǒu pò fáng de tiān fù ？
玉罗蜂冲破了眼前的光幕，祝眼前的防御为无物，难道这种魔虫，竟带有破防的天赋？
Pang! A light sound echoed as the Jade Lotus Bee chose to self-destruct within the monk's flames. Its body turned into a small pool of purple liquid that shot out and hit the monk’s head.
zhè kě shì dǐng jiē mì shù ！ fǎ wú liǎn shàng mǎn shì jīng kǒng ， zhāng dà le dí sì hū xiǎng shuō shén me ， kě xī què bù chū shēng yīn lái le ， tā bèi yù luó fēng dīng zhōng ， dú sù yǐ màn yán dào le quán shēn de jīng mài zhī zhōng 。
这可是顶阶秘术！法无脸上满是惊恐，张大了嘀似乎想说什么，可惜却不出声音来了，他被玉罗蜂叮中，毒素已蔓延到了全身的经脉之中。
"Ahh!"
shù zhàng yuǎn chù ， yī míng wèi jiā de xiū shì yòu shǒu diǎn chū ， jiàn guāng shǎn guò ， nà zhǐ zhēng níng de yù luó fēng jiù bèi lán yāo pī wèi liǎng bàn le 。
数丈远处，一名魏家的修士右手点出，剑光闪过，那只狰狞的玉罗蜂就被拦腰劈为两半了。
The one-eyed monk let out a loud cry before falling from the sky, and similar scenes continued. Both Wei family members and monks from the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect were dying in large numbers.
“ hēng ， qū qū xiǎo chóng ， hái bù fàng zài běn gōng zi yǎn zhōng 。”
“哼，区区小虫，还不放在本公子眼中。”
Looking at this chaotic sky, only about several hundred condensation period cultivators could protect themselves. Their abilities varied greatly, but their numbers were too few to change the outcome of the battle.
cǐ rén kàn shàng qù èr shí qī bā suì nián jì ， nǎi shì wèi jiā nián qīng yí dài ， shēng míng zuì wèi xiǎn hè de tiān cái ， xiū wèi yǐ dào zhù jī hòu qī ， xiàng lái yǎn gāo yú dǐng 。
此人看上去二十七八岁年纪，乃是魏家年轻一代，声名最为显赫的天才，修为已到筑基后期，向来眼高于顶。
Each faced a swarm of bees rather than just one, so they couldn't afford any carelessness.
yī jiàn zhǎn le mó fēng ， liǎn shàng liú lù chū jǐ fēn zì dé ， kě hěn kuài tā de biǎo qíng jiù kuáng biàn le ， míng míng zhǐ shèng xià bàn jiǎn shēn tǐ ， kě nà mó fēng jū rán méi yǒu sǐ qù ， fǎn ér sàn chū yī zhǒng lìng rén xīn jīng de lì qì ， sōu de yī xià jiāng dú zhēn cì rù tā de shēn tǐ 。
一剑斩了魔蜂，脸上流露出几分自得，可很快他的表情就狂变了，明明只剩下半戬身体，可那魔蜂居然没有死去，反而散出一种令人心惊的戾气，嗖的一下将毒针刺入他的身体。
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a faint smile. Although it had been less than half an hour since the fight began, there was no longer any suspense about who would win. It was time to collect souls; once they were his enemies, Lin Xuan wouldn’t give them another chance at reincarnation.
yù luó fēng bìng bú shì nà zhǒng yōng yǒu jiǎ zhòu ， tè bié jiān yìng de mó chóng ， dàn shēng mìng lì zhī qiáng ， yě lìng rén zé shé ， bié shuō bèi qiè wèi liǎng bàn le ， jiù suàn shì zhǎn xià tou lú ， yě néng huó shàng bàn gè shí chén zhī jiǔ 。
玉罗蜂并不是那种拥有甲胄，特别坚硬的魔虫，但生命力之强，也令人咋舌，别说被切为两半了，就算是斩下头颅，也能活上半个时辰之久。
"Mei'er."
ér qiě shēn shòu zhòng shāng yǐ hòu ， kǔn ； huì biàn dé yuè de fēng kuáng ， pīn le lǎo mìng gōng jī duì fāng 。
而且身受重伤以后，悃；会变得越的疯狂，拼了老命攻击对方。
"Mm, Young Master, I understand."
bàn suí zhe kǒng jù yǔ bù gān ， zhè wèi wèi jiā de “ tiān cái ” hún shēn má mù ， gǎn jué fǎ lì sì hū bèi bō lí chū qù le 。
伴随着恐惧与不甘，这位魏家的“天才”浑身麻木，感觉法力似乎被剥离出去了。
A beam of white light shot out from Lin Xuan's sleeve, followed by a beautiful girl appearing in the air with a fragrant breeze.
lìng yī cè ， yī míng dú mù sēng rén kǒu pēn huǒ yàn ， jiāng pū shàng lái de yù luó fēng bāo guǒ ， tā yǐ shì zhù jī hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， xiū liàn de xiān tiān zhēn huǒ gèng pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xuán miào zhī chù ， céng miè shā guò bù shǎo tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， zhè zhǒng mó chóng què shí kě bù ， dòng zuò líng huó ， shēng mìng lì gèng shì fěi yí suǒ sī ， bù guò bèi shāo chéng huī jìn zì rán bù kě néng lái gōng jī zì jǐ ， tā de zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū jǐ fēn dé yì 。
另一侧，一名独目僧人口喷火焰，将扑上来的玉罗蜂包裹，他已是筑基后期的修仙者，修炼的先天真火更颇有几分玄妙之处，曾灭杀过不少同阶修仙者，这种魔虫确实可怖，动作灵活，生命力更是匪夷所思，不过被烧成灰烬自然不可能来攻击自己，他的嘴角边露出几分得意。
Ouyang and her apprentice didn't find this strange. Both knew that Lin Xuan had a ghost pet, but their reactions were different. Qinxin nodded at Mei'er; they hadn’t seen each other for two hundred years. Wu Yun'er’s face showed both respect and fear.
pēng ！ yī shēng qīng xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yù luó fēng bèi tā de huǒ yàn jìn gù ， jìng xuǎn zé le zì bào yī tú ， mó fēng de shēn tǐ ， huà wèi le yī xiǎo tuán zǐ sè de yè tǐ ， liàn shè ér chū ， zhèng zhōng nà hé shàng de tóu lú 。
嘭！一声轻响传入耳朵，玉罗蜂被他的火焰禁锢，竟选择了自爆一途，魔蜂的身体，化为了一小团紫色的液体，潋射而出，正中那和尚的头颅。
This girl's sixth sense was much stronger than most people's. During the last independent space encounter, she had sensed Mei'er's extraordinary nature. Now her sensitivity was even more pronounced.
“ a ！”
“啊！”
Although she couldn't explain why, Lin Senior Master also gave her this feeling. Wu Yun'er quietly hid behind her master.
dú mù sēng rén dà shēng cǎn hū ， suí hòu yě pēng de yī shēng cóng tiān kōng zhōng diào luò ， ér xiāng sì de qíng xíng hái bù tíng shàng yǎn ， bù guǎn shì wèi jiā zǐ dì hái shì wàn fú zōng de tū lǘ ， zhù jī qī xiū shì yě zài dà liàng yǔn luò 。
独目僧人大声惨呼，随后也嘭的一声从天空中掉落，而相似的情形还不停上演，不管是魏家子弟还是万佛宗的秃驴，筑基期修士也在大量陨落。
"Yun'er, what’s wrong?" Ouyang Qinxin frowned, puzzled by her apprentice's reaction.
fàng yǎn zhè hùn luàn de tiān kōng ， néng gòu zì bǎo de zhǐ yǒu shù bǎi wèi níng dān qī xiū xiān zhě ， tā men jìng jiè bù tóng ， fǎ bǎo de wēi lì yǔ líng qì gèng bù zài yí gè dàng cì ， kě xī rén shù tài shǎo ， gǎi biàn bù liǎo zhàn jú 。
放眼这混乱的天空，能够自保的只有数百位凝丹期修仙者，他们境界不同，法宝的威力与灵器更不再一个档次，可惜人数太少，改变不了战局。
"It’s... nothing."
měi gè rén miàn duì de dōu bú shì dān zhǐ yù luó fēng ， ér shì yī xiǎo piàn chóng yún de wéi gōng ， tóng yàng bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo qīng xīn dà yì de 。
每个人面对的都不是单只玉罗蜂，而是一小片虫云的围攻，同样不敢有分毫轻心大意的。
Wu Yun'er wasn’t trying to hide anything; she just didn't know how to start. Her intelligence told her that Lin Senior Master was very fond of Miss Mei'er, so she dared not invent any lies.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū dàn dàn de xiào róng ， suī rán jiāo zhàn hái bú dào bàn zhǎn chá de shí jiān ， dàn shèng fù yǐ méi yǒu fēn háo xuán niàn ， shì kě yǐ dòng shǒu sōu jí hún pò ， jì rán zuò le zì jǐ de dí rén ， lín xuān jiù bú huì gěi tā men lún huí jī huì de 。
林轩嘴角边露出淡淡的笑容，虽然交战还不到半盏茶的时间，但胜负已没有分毫悬念，是可以动手搜集魂魄，既然做了自己的敌人，林轩就不会给他们轮回机会的。
"Nothing?" These words didn't match her expression, and Ouyang knew she was lying but had no time to press further at the moment.
“ yuè ér 。”
“月儿。”
After Mei'er appeared, she looked at the chaotic sky, then stretched out a slender hand. A black banner materialized in her palm.
“ ń ， shào yé ， wǒ zhī dào le 。”
“嗯，少爷，我知道了。”
It was the Beast Soul Banner, this treasure.
yī dào bái guāng fēi chū lín xuān de yī xiù ， bàn suí zhe xiāng fēng ， yī wèi měi mào rú huā de shào nǚ chū xiàn zài bàn kōng 。
一道白光飞出林轩的衣袖，伴随着香风，一位美貌如花的少女出现在半空。
At the sight of so many cultivators' souls, Mei'er licked her lips. With a flick of her hand, a spell flew from her fingers.
ōu yáng shī tú bìng wèi gǎn dào qí guài ， èr nǚ dōu zhī dào lín xuān yǒu yī wèi guǐ chǒng ， zhǐ shì fǎn yìng bìng bù xiāng tóng ， qín xīn chōng yuè ér diǎn le diǎn tóu ， shuō qǐ lái ， tā men yě shì liǎng bǎi nián wèi jiàn le ， ér wǔ yún ér de liǎn shàng ， zé lù chū yòu jìng yòu pà zhī sè 。
欧阳师徒并未感到奇怪，二女都知道林轩有一位鬼宠，只是反应并不相同，琴心冲月儿点了点头，说起来，她们也是两百年未见了，而武云儿的脸上，则露出又敬又怕之色。
Boom! The sound of thunder echoed as the Beast Soul Banner, which had been only the size of a palm, rapidly expanded.
cǐ nǚ de dì liù gǎn tiān shēng bǐ cháng rén qiáng dé duō ， shàng cì zài dú lì kōng jiān de shí hòu jiù yǐn yǐn gǎn dào yuè ér de bù fán ， zhè yī cì ， nà yǐng gǎn yuè de qiáng liè le qǐ lái 。
此女的第六感天生比常人强得多，上次在独立空间的时候就隐隐感到月儿的不凡，这一次，那颖感越的强烈了起来。
Soon, the sky darkened as if the banner was floating above him, blocking out sunlight. The banner unfurled like a black cloud, covering an area of several dozen acres.
jǐn guǎn tā yě shuō bù chū wèi shén me ， dàn jiù suàn shì lín shī bó ， yě gěi zì jǐ zhè zhǒng gǎn jué de 。「 wǔ yún ér xīn zhōng pà pà ， qiāo qiāo de duǒ dào shī zūn de bèi hòu qù le a 。
尽管她也说不出为什么，但就算是林师伯，也给自己这种感觉的。「武云儿心中怕怕，悄悄的躲到师尊的背后去了啊。
Mei'er's face turned pale; performing such a large-scale spell wasn't entirely familiar to her, but collecting so many souls required it.
“ yún ér ，$$； zěn me le ？” ōu yáng qín xīn zhòu le zhòu méi ， ài tú de fǎn yìng ràng tā mǎn tóu wù shuǐ 。
“云儿，$$；怎么了？”欧阳琴心皱了皱眉，爱徒的反应让她满头雾水。
Her expression turned serious as she slowly floated, wearing white robes and bare feet, looking like the most beautiful flower. However, a chilling aura surrounded her, even emitting eerie howls from within.
“ nà ge …… méi yǒu 。”
“那个……没有。”
Despite this, her beauty remained unmarred; instead, there was an alluring allure that could captivate anyone. Who said only celestial maidens in the heavenly realms were the most beautiful? Ghost girls in the netherworld had irresistible power.
wǔ yún ér dào bú shì xiǎng tuǒ cún xīn yǐn mán shén me ， ér shì bù zhī dào gāi cóng hé kāi kǒu ， yǐ tā de cōng míng ， zì rán kàn chū lín shī bó shì hěn chǒng nà wèi yuè ér xiǎo jiě de ， suǒ yǐ gèng bù gǎn qù hú luàn biān pái shén me 。
武云儿倒不是想妥存心隐瞒什么，而是不知道该从何开口，以她的聪明，自然看出林师伯是很宠那位月儿小姐的，所以更不敢去胡乱编排什么。
"Quick!"
“ méi shén me ？” zhè huà kǒu bù yìng xīn ， ōu yáng zì shì bìng bù xiāng xìn ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ s，1， tā zì rán yě méi yǒu xīn qíng jì xù zhuī wèn xià qù le 。
“没什么？”这话口不应心，欧阳自是并不相信，但此时此s，1，她自然也没有心情继续追问下去了。
Mei'er extended a slender finger and pointed it forward. As she whispered, ghostly mists on the banner began to churn.
zài shuō yuè ér chū lái yǐ hòu ， kàn le yī yǎn yuǎn chù hùn luàn de tiān kōng ， shēn chū qiàn shǒu ， yī gān hēi sè de fān qí fú xiàn zài le zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。
再说月儿出来以后，看了一眼远处混乱的天空，伸出纤手，一杆黑色的幡旗浮现在了掌心之中。
A massive vortex appeared before their eyes, right on the surface of the banner.
bú yòng shuō ， zhèng shì shòu hún fān cǐ bǎo le 。
不用说，正是兽魂幡此宝了。
It was about seven or eight zhang (about 20 feet) in diameter. Although not shocking, this scene was certainly significant. However, the cultivators below were too busy fighting off the countless Jade Lotus Bees that attacked them; they couldn’t care less about anything else.
rú cǐ duō xiū shì de hún pò ， yuè ér bù yóu de tiǎn le tiǎn shé tou ， qiàn shǒu yī fú ， gēn zhe yī dào fǎ jué cóng zhǐ jiān fēi lüè ér chū 。
如此多修士的魂魄，月儿不由得舔了舔舌头，纤手一拂，跟着一道法诀从指间飞掠而出。
With a heavy reward came brave warriors, but even with more rewards, one needed to survive to enjoy them. Poor low-rank cultivators who had been tricked into becoming cannon fodder were on the brink of collapse.
hōng wō ！ fǎng fú jīng léi huà pò cāng qióng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà shòu hún fān yuán běn jǐn yǒu bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de yì diǎn ， cǐ kè què xùn bào zhǎng qǐ lái 。
轰倭！仿佛惊雷划破苍穹的声音传入耳朵，那兽魂幡原本仅有巴掌大小的一点，此刻却迅暴涨起来。
However, Lin Xuan showed no pity. It wasn't because he was heartless; these fellows deserved it. They had killed ordinary people from the Wu family and even spared neither the elderly nor women and children. When they raised their knives, they should have expected such a retribution.
hěn kuài ， tiān kōng àn dàn ， jìng rán shì cǐ bǎo xuán fú zài tóu dǐng zhī shàng ， jiāng yáng guāng zhē dǎng ， nà fān qí yíng fēng zhǎn kāi ， jiù yǒu rú yī piàn hēi yā yā de yún cǎi ， miàn jī zú yǒu shù shí mǔ fāng yuán 。
很快，天空暗淡，竟然是此宝悬浮在头顶之上，将阳光遮挡，那幡旗迎风展开，就有如一片黑压压的云彩，面积足有数十亩方圆。
Thinking that just being part of one of the Seven Great Forces meant they could do as they pleased, Lin Xuan wasn’t buying into it. Killers would be killed too; there was no room for leniency towards these bad guys.
yuè ér de liǎn sè yǒu xiē bái ， zhè jù dà shù shī zhǎn qǐ lái bìng bù chún shú ， bù guò xiǎng yào shōu jí rú cǐ zhī duō de hún pò ， jiù bì xū zhè yàng zuò 。
月儿的脸色有些白，这巨大术施展起来并不纯熟，不过想要收集如此之多的魂魄，就必须这样做。
A piercing cry echoed from the massive vortex, and a ghost head emerged—green-faced with sharp teeth, a ghastly creature from the netherworld.
tā de liǎn shàng lù chū níng zhòng zhī sè ， huǎn huǎn piāo fú ， bái yī chì zú ， jiāo yàn dé biàn xiàng zuì měi lì de huā duǒ ， rán ér què yǒu sēn rán de guǐ qì fú xiàn zài sì zhōu ；， shèn zhì cóng nà guǐ qì zhī zhōng ， yǐn yǐn hái chuán chū qī lì de sī hǒu 。
她的脸上露出凝重之色，缓缓漂浮，白衣赤足，娇艳得便像最美丽的花朵，然而却有森然的鬼气浮现在四周；，甚至从那鬼气之中，隐隐还传出凄厉的嘶吼。
Apart from its head, two ghost hands covered in green scales protruded. A terrifying aura rose into the air.
rán ér zhè yī qiè dōu wú sǔn tā de měi lì ， fǎn ér gèng duō le yī zhǒng gōu hún dàng pò de yāo yì ， shuí shuō zhǐ yǒu xiān jiè de jiǔ tiān xuán nǚ cái zuì měi lì ， yīn sī zhōng de guǐ nǚ gèng yǒu zhe ràng rén wú kě dǐ dǎng de bá lì 。
然而这一切都无损她的美丽，反而更多了一种勾魂荡魄的妖异，谁说只有仙界的九天玄女才最美丽，阴司中的鬼女更有着让人无可抵挡的魃力。
"Is this a Great Spirit Ghost?" Lin Xuan was taken aback, his expression showing surprise.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
"Yes," Mei'er's sweet voice replied: "This ghost is formed by condensing souls within the Beast Soul Banner; its cultivation level is extraordinary, but unfortunately, there are not enough souls to form a full body."
yuè ér shēn chū yī gēn yù zhǐ ， shì huǐ shí jí de xiàng qián diǎn qù ， suí zhe tā kǒu zhōng qīng chì ， nà fān qí biǎo miàn de guǐ wù kāi shǐ fān yǒng bù yǐ 。
月儿伸出一根玉指，似毁实急的向前点去，随着她口中轻叱，那幡旗表面的鬼雾开始翻涌不已。
As Mei'er spoke, the Great Spirit Ghost fully emerged from the vortex. Indeed, as she said, it only had half of its body, with the lower abdomen still incomplete due to insufficient soul energy.
yí gè jù dà de xuán wō yìng rù yǎn lián ， nà xuán wō jiù zài fān qí de biǎo miàn 。
一个巨大的漩涡映入眼帘，那漩涡就在幡旗的表面。
Despite this, the ghost was about seven or eight zhang tall. After emerging from the vortex, its grotesque face showed excitement before opening its mouth and spitting out streams of dark wind.
zhí jìng zú yǒu qī bā zhàng de yàng zi ， zhè jǐng xiàng suī shuō bù shàng jīng xīn xiè mù ， dàn yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， bù guò xià miàn de xiū xiān zhě què bù gù shàng le ， nà shǔ yǐ wàn jì de yù luó fēng ， zhèng duì tā men jìn xíng tú chuō ， lián táo dōu méi yǒu bàn fǎ táo zǒu ， nǎ hái guǎn dé le bié de shén me 。
直径足有七八丈的样子，这景象虽说不上惊心绁目，但也非同小可，不过下面的修仙者却不顾上了，那数以万计的玉罗蜂，正对他们进行屠戳，连逃都没有办法逃走，哪还管得了别的什么。
The faces of the Wei family disciples and Ten Thousand Buddha Sect cultivators turned pale with fear, but these winds didn't attack them; instead, they were drawn towards the corpses on the ground, pulling out various-sized light balls. These were undoubtedly human souls.
zhòng shǎng zhī xià bì yǒu yǒng fū ， dàn zài duō de jiǎng lì ， yě yào yǒu xiǎo mìng cái néng xiǎng yòng ， kě lián zhè xiē bèi piàn lái dàng zuò pào huī de dī jiē xiū xiān zhě ， jīng shén yǐ chù zài bēng kuì de biān yuán le 。
重赏之下必有勇夫，但再多的奖励，也要有小命才能享用，可怜这些被骗来当作炮灰的低阶修仙者，精神已处在崩溃的边缘了。
The Great Spirit Ghost opened its mouth and swallowed all of them into its belly.
bù guò lín xuān liǎn shàng háo wú lián mǐn zhī sè ， dào bìng fēi tā xīn hěn ， ér shì zhè xiē jiā huo zuì yǒu yīng dé ， lián wǔ jiā de fán rén dōu tú chuō ， shèn zhì bù fàng guò lǎo ruò fù kào ， dāng tā men jǔ qǐ tú dāo de yī s1， jiù gāi xiǎng dào yǒu cǐ bào yìng le 。
不过林轩脸上毫无怜悯之色，倒并非他心狠，而是这些家伙罪有应得，连武家的凡人都屠戳，甚至不放过老弱妇犒，当他们举起屠刀的一s1，就该想到有此报应了。
At this moment, about two thousand cultivators remained. Watching this scene, their faces were as pale as death. The enemy was too ruthless; they didn’t even spare the souls.
yǐ wéi shì qī dà shì lì jiù kě yǐ wéi suǒ yù wéi ， lín xuān piān bù mǎi zhàng ， shā rén zhě rén yì shā zhī ， duì yú zhè xiē huài jiā huo ， gēn běn bù gāi yǒu gū xī yī shuō 。
以为是七大势力就可以为所欲为，林轩偏不买账，杀人者人亦杀之，对于这些坏家伙，根本不该有姑息一说。
Many trembled with fear, desperately trying to escape.
zhào bǐ ！ qī lì de jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì cóng nà jù dà de yīn qì xuán wō lǐ miàn ， zuān chū le yí gè guǐ tóu ， qīng miàn liáo yá ， yīn sī jiè de guǐ wù ， zhǎng dé zì rán shì nán kàn dào le jí chù 。
召匕！凄厉的叫声传入耳朵，却是从那巨大的阴气漩涡里面，钻出了一个鬼头，青面獠牙，阴司界的鬼物，长得自然是难看到了极处。
Meanwhile, the two women behind Lin Xuan finally acted. They weren't just here for a show; they wanted revenge.
chú le nǎo dài ， hái yǒu liǎng zhǐ guǐ shǒu ， biǎo miàn bù mǎn le qīng sè de lín piàn ， yī gǔ jīng rén de lì qì chōng tiān ér chū 。
除了脑袋，还有两只鬼手，表面布满了青色的鳞片，一股惊人的戾气冲天而出。
If they didn’t personally kill some beasts, how could they honor their deceased fellow daoists?
“ zhè shì jù líng guǐ ？” lín xuān yī dāi ， biǎo qíng yǒu xiē yì wài 。
“这是巨灵鬼？”林轩一呆，表情有些意外。
Ouyang Qinxin extended her hand, and golden light revealed an ancient artifact in her palm.
“ bù cuò 。” yuè ér jiāo xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ cǐ guǐ nǎi shì yòng shòu hún fān zhōng de hún pò níng jù ér chéng de ， xiū wèi fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zhǐ kě xī hún pò bù gòu zhǐ yǒu bàn jiǎn shēn tǐ 。”
“不错。”月儿娇笑的声音传入耳朵：“此鬼乃是用兽魂幡中的魂魄凝聚而成的，修为非同小可，只可惜魂魄不够只有半戬身体。”
Seven-stringed zither! Now she would let them see the power of her sound technique.
Continuous sounds of screams reached his ears, falling to their deaths under the venomous stings of the Jade Lotus Bee.
Of course, not all these cultivators were utterly helpless. Quite a number already possessed high-grade spiritual artifacts.
Fa Wen was an external affairs disciple at the Bodhi Hall of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect. Although he was only at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, as a cultivator from one of the Seven Great Forces, his abilities were not to be underestimated. The round bowl in his hand was also a low-grade spiritual artifact.
Seeing a grotesque-looking Jade Lotus Bee flying towards him, Fa Yuan's face turned grave. After all, the screams still echoed in his ears; he couldn't afford any carelessness.
He clapped his hands together and shot out a Buddhist light. The round bowl expanded as if it were being inflated by the wind, emitting a golden glow that enveloped his body. Although this spiritual artifact was unremarkable, it had both offensive and defensive capabilities.
Without seeking glory but avoiding blame, he first secured his own safety.
Next, Fa Wen stretched out his hand and struck his head with a loud snap. A visible sound wave shot out from his mouth.
Lion's Roar! This wasn't an extraordinary secret technique in the Buddhist sect; anyone could learn it after successfully establishing their foundation. However, the effectiveness varied greatly depending on the cultivator's level of mastery. Many low-rank cultivators had been killed by these bees, and this one was indeed terrifying with its agility and seemingly endless life force.
Even if cut into two halves or even decapitated, a severely injured bee could still survive for half an hour before dying. Moreover, in such a state, it became more frenzied, fighting to the death.
With fear and不甘, the "talented" young man from the Wei family felt his body go numb as if his mana had been stripped away.
On another side, a one-eyed monk spat flames, enveloping the bees that attacked him. He was already at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and his innate true fire was quite mysterious, having killed many peers before. These magical insects were indeed terrifying with their agility and life force, but being burned to ashes meant they couldn't attack him. A smirk appeared on his face.
Pang! A light sound echoed as the Jade Lotus Bee chose to self-destruct within the monk's flames. Its body turned into a small pool of purple liquid that shot out and hit the monk’s head.
"Ahh!"
The one-eyed monk let out a loud cry before falling from the sky, and similar scenes continued. Both Wei family members and monks from the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect were dying in large numbers.
Looking at this chaotic sky, only about several hundred condensation period cultivators could protect themselves. Their abilities varied greatly, but their numbers were too few to change the outcome of the battle.
Each faced a swarm of bees rather than just one, so they couldn't afford any carelessness.
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a faint smile. Although it had been less than half an hour since the fight began, there was no longer any suspense about who would win. It was time to collect souls; once they were his enemies, Lin Xuan wouldn’t give them another chance at reincarnation.
"Mei'er."
"Mm, Young Master, I understand."
A beam of white light shot out from Lin Xuan's sleeve, followed by a beautiful girl appearing in the air with a fragrant breeze.
Ouyang and her apprentice didn't find this strange. Both knew that Lin Xuan had a ghost pet, but their reactions were different. Qinxin nodded at Mei'er; they hadn’t seen each other for two hundred years. Wu Yun'er’s face showed both respect and fear.
This girl's sixth sense was much stronger than most people's. During the last independent space encounter, she had sensed Mei'er's extraordinary nature. Now her sensitivity was even more pronounced.
Although she couldn't explain why, Lin Senior Master also gave her this feeling. Wu Yun'er quietly hid behind her master.
"Yun'er, what’s wrong?" Ouyang Qinxin frowned, puzzled by her apprentice's reaction.
"It’s... nothing."
Wu Yun'er wasn’t trying to hide anything; she just didn't know how to start. Her intelligence told her that Lin Senior Master was very fond of Miss Mei'er, so she dared not invent any lies.
"Nothing?" These words didn't match her expression, and Ouyang knew she was lying but had no time to press further at the moment.
After Mei'er appeared, she looked at the chaotic sky, then stretched out a slender hand. A black banner materialized in her palm.
It was the Beast Soul Banner, this treasure.
At the sight of so many cultivators' souls, Mei'er licked her lips. With a flick of her hand, a spell flew from her fingers.
Boom! The sound of thunder echoed as the Beast Soul Banner, which had been only the size of a palm, rapidly expanded.
Soon, the sky darkened as if the banner was floating above him, blocking out sunlight. The banner unfurled like a black cloud, covering an area of several dozen acres.
Mei'er's face turned pale; performing such a large-scale spell wasn't entirely familiar to her, but collecting so many souls required it.
Her expression turned serious as she slowly floated, wearing white robes and bare feet, looking like the most beautiful flower. However, a chilling aura surrounded her, even emitting eerie howls from within.
Despite this, her beauty remained unmarred; instead, there was an alluring allure that could captivate anyone. Who said only celestial maidens in the heavenly realms were the most beautiful? Ghost girls in the netherworld had irresistible power.
"Quick!"
Mei'er extended a slender finger and pointed it forward. As she whispered, ghostly mists on the banner began to churn.
A massive vortex appeared before their eyes, right on the surface of the banner.
It was about seven or eight zhang (about 20 feet) in diameter. Although not shocking, this scene was certainly significant. However, the cultivators below were too busy fighting off the countless Jade Lotus Bees that attacked them; they couldn’t care less about anything else.
With a heavy reward came brave warriors, but even with more rewards, one needed to survive to enjoy them. Poor low-rank cultivators who had been tricked into becoming cannon fodder were on the brink of collapse.
However, Lin Xuan showed no pity. It wasn't because he was heartless; these fellows deserved it. They had killed ordinary people from the Wu family and even spared neither the elderly nor women and children. When they raised their knives, they should have expected such a retribution.
Thinking that just being part of one of the Seven Great Forces meant they could do as they pleased, Lin Xuan wasn’t buying into it. Killers would be killed too; there was no room for leniency towards these bad guys.
A piercing cry echoed from the massive vortex, and a ghost head emerged—green-faced with sharp teeth, a ghastly creature from the netherworld.
Apart from its head, two ghost hands covered in green scales protruded. A terrifying aura rose into the air.
"Is this a Great Spirit Ghost?" Lin Xuan was taken aback, his expression showing surprise.
"Yes," Mei'er's sweet voice replied: "This ghost is formed by condensing souls within the Beast Soul Banner; its cultivation level is extraordinary, but unfortunately, there are not enough souls to form a full body."
As Mei'er spoke, the Great Spirit Ghost fully emerged from the vortex. Indeed, as she said, it only had half of its body, with the lower abdomen still incomplete due to insufficient soul energy.
Despite this, the ghost was about seven or eight zhang tall. After emerging from the vortex, its grotesque face showed excitement before opening its mouth and spitting out streams of dark wind.
The faces of the Wei family disciples and Ten Thousand Buddha Sect cultivators turned pale with fear, but these winds didn't attack them; instead, they were drawn towards the corpses on the ground, pulling out various-sized light balls. These were undoubtedly human souls.
The Great Spirit Ghost opened its mouth and swallowed all of them into its belly.
