第一回合交手，两人势均力敌，林轩借通天灵宝之力，还略微占一点优势，然而他丝毫不敢大意，对方可是离合期。更糟糕的是，自己的敌人并非仅有罗家老祖一人而已。
The first round of combat was evenly matched. Lin Xuan, relying on the power of the Heavenly Through Treasure, had a slight edge. However, he did not dare to be careless; his opponent was at the Separation Stage. What made matters worse was that his enemy wasn't just Old Patriarch Luo alone.
yě bù zhī yuè ér shì fǒu qǔ bǎo chéng gōng ， huò zhě xiàn zài zhèng yǔ shén xuè róng hé ， jù tǐ de qíng kuàng lín xuān bìng bù qīng chǔ ， dàn yǒu yì diǎn shì kěn dìng de ， zài xiǎo yā tou chū lái yǐ qián ， zì jǐ bì xū dǐng zhù ， jīng lì le nà me duō jiān nán xiǎn zǔ ， lín xuān kě bù xī wàng zuì hòu yí kè què gōng kuī yī kuì le 。
也不知月儿是否取宝成功，或者现在正与神血融合，具体的情况林轩并不清楚，但有一点是肯定的，在小丫头出来以前，自己必须顶住，经历了那么多艰难险阻，林轩可不希望最后一刻却功亏一篑了。
He didn’t know if Moer had succeeded in retrieving the treasure or whether she was currently fusing with Divine Blood. Lin Xuan wasn’t sure of the specifics, but one thing was certain: before Little Miss came out, he must hold his ground. After enduring so many trials and tribulations, Lin Xuan did not want to see all his efforts come to naught at the last moment.
yín máng jiāng luó jiā lǎo zǔ yān mò ， rán ér qí yú xiū shì què bú huì zài yī páng xián zhe ， jiǔ tiān xuán zūn chī le lín xuān bù shǎo kǔ tóu ， yǎn zhōng jīng máng sì shè ， hèn bù dé jiāng zhè kě wù de xiǎo zi shēng tūn huó bō 。 shēn xíng yī shǎn ， tā yǐ shī zhǎn jiǔ tiān wēi bù chōng le guò lái 。
银芒将罗家老祖湮没，然而其余修士却不会在一旁闲着，九天玄尊吃了林轩不少苦头，眼中精芒四射，恨不得将这可恶的小子生吞活剥。身形一闪，他已施展九天微步冲了过来。
The silver light engulfed Old Patriarch Luo, but the other cultivators were not idle. Nine Heaven Profound Sovereign had suffered greatly from Lin Xuan’s attacks; his eyes glinted with a fierce light as he yearned to devour this annoying young man alive and raw. With a flash of movement, he launched himself at Lin Xuan using the Nine Heavens Microstep.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng mǎn shì yīn mái ， kě hòu miàn jiù shì ā xiū luó wáng qǐn diàn ， huàn jù huà shuō 「 zì jǐ méi yǒu tuì lù ， zhǐ yǒu yìng zhe tóu pí káng xià yī tú 。
林轩的脸上满是阴霾，可后面就是阿修罗王寝殿，换句话说「自己没有退路，只有硬着头皮扛下一途。
Lin Xuan's face was clouded with worry, but behind him lay the Asura King’s Bedchamber—meaning there was no retreat; only a path of hard confrontation remained.
xī le kǒu qì ， lín xuān zài cì jiāng fǎ lì zhù rù tōng tiān líng bǎo lǐ ， rán hòu háo bù yóu yù de yàng là xià qù 。
吸了口气，林轩再次将法力注入通天灵宝里，然后毫不犹豫的样落下去。
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan injected more power into the Heavenly Through Treasure and leaped down without hesitation.
yòu shì yī dào cuǐ càn de jiàn qì ……
又是一道璀璨的剑气……
Another dazzling sword energy…
zhǎng shí zhàng yú ， biǎo miàn fú wén shǎn shuò bù yǐ 。
长十丈余，表面符文闪烁不已。
Ten feet long, the surface shimmered with runes.
yǔ luó jiā lǎo zǔ de fǎn yìng bù tóng ， jiǔ tiān xuán zūn bìng méi yǒu xuǎn zé yìng jiē ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， tā de shēn yǐng dùn shí biàn dé mó hú qǐ lái 。
与罗家老祖的反应不同，九天玄尊并没有选择硬接，身形一闪，他的身影顿时变得模糊起来。
Unlike Old Patriarch Luo's reaction, Nine Heaven Profound Sovereign did not choose to meet it head-on. With a flash of movement, his figure became hazy.
bú yòng shuō ， zhè jiā huo xiǎng duǒ 。
不用说，这家伙想躲。
Clearly, he was trying to dodge.
rán ér nǎ yǒu nà me qīng sōng ， lín xuān tóng yàng xiū liàn yǒu jiǔ tiān xuán gōng ， dà tǐ yě néng cāi dào duì fāng de jǔ dòng 。
然而哪有那么轻松，林轩同样修炼有九天玄功，大体也能猜到对方的举动。
But that wasn’t so easy; Lin Xuan had also cultivated the Nine Heavens Profound Art and could roughly guess what the other would do.
měi shǐ yòng yī cì tōng tiān líng bǎo ， zì jǐ de fǎ lì dū huì xiāo hào bù shǎo ， shuō shén me yě bù néng yùn yàng bái bái làng fèi diào 。
每使用一次通天灵宝，自己的法力都会消耗不少，说什么也不能运样白白浪费掉。
Every time he used the Heavenly Through Treasure, his power consumption was significant. There was no way he could afford to waste it.
zuǒ shǒu fān zhuǎn ， yī bǐng shì yàng gǔ piáo de zhǎng gē fú xiàn chū lái ， duì fāng jiǔ tiān wēi bù de shén tōng bèi dǎ duàn 。
左手翻转，一柄式样古朴的长戈浮现出来，对方九天微步的神通被打断。
With a flick of his left hand, an ancient-looking long spear appeared, interrupting Nine Heaven Profound Sovereign’s Microstep.
jiǔ tiān xuán zūn yòu jīng yòu nù ， xiān shì zhǎn xū guāng zhù ， suí hòu yòu shì zhè qí guài de bǎo wù ， yǒu méi yǒu qiā cuò ， kōng jiān shén tōng zuì shì jiān nán fán fù ， zì jǐ què yǐ jīng jiē lián liǎng cì bèi pò chú 。
九天玄尊又惊又怒，先是斩虚光柱，随后又是这奇怪的宝物，有没有掐错，空间神通最是艰难繁复，自己却已经接连两次被破除。
Nine Heaven Profound Sovereign was both surprised and angry. First, he had sliced through the illusory light column, then this strange treasure item. Wasn’t there a mix-up? Spatial techniques were the most complex and difficult to use; yet, he had been broken twice in succession.
yǎn kàn nà yín sè de jiàn qì kuài yào jiāng zì jǐ yān mò ， zhè lǎo bù sǐ de jiā huo yǎn zhōng yě lù chū le jǐ fēn wèi jù zhī sè 。
眼看那银色的剑气快要将自己湮没，这老不死的家伙眼中也露出了几分畏惧之色。
As that silver sword energy approached, Old Patriarch Nine Heaven’s eyes showed signs of fear.
qí shí zài sān míng lí hé qī xiū shì zhōng tā shì xiū wèi zuì gāo de yí gè ， rán ér chī kuī jiù chī kuī zài gāng gāng duó shě ， méi yǒu shén me chèn shǒu de bǎo wù 。
其实在三名离合期修士中他是修为最高的一个，然而吃亏就吃亏在刚刚夺舍，没有什么趁手的宝物。
In fact, among the three Separation Stage cultivators, he was the one with the highest cultivation. However, his disadvantage lay in having just taken over a body and lacking any suitable treasures.
rán ér yù mèn shì jiě jué bù liǎo yǎn qián nán tí de ， jiǔ tiān xuán zūn yī shēng dà hē ， shuāng shǒu dà kāi dà lǘ ， zī shì gǔ piáo ， suí zhe gē bēng gē bēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tā de yòu shǒu jìng měng rán péng zhàng qǐ lái le 。 lín xuān yě bù yóu dà jīng shī sè …… yāo xiū shén tōng ？ bú duì ， lín xuān hěn kuài yáo le yáo tóu 。
然而郁闷是解决不了眼前难题的，九天玄尊一声大喝，双手大开大闾，姿势古朴，随着咯嘣咯嘣的声音传入耳朵，他的右手竟猛然膨胀起来了。林轩也不由大惊失色……妖修神通？不对，林轩很快摇了摇头。
But worry couldn’t solve the current problem. With a loud roar, Nine Heaven Profound Sovereign spread his arms wide, adopting an ancient posture. As creaking sounds reached Lin Xuan’s ears, his right hand suddenly swelled up. Lin Xuan was equally alarmed…Sorcery? No, he quickly shook his head.
yǔ fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān zhè yàng de xiū yāo gōng fǎ bìng bù xiāng tóng ， kàn shàng qù dào yǒu diǎn xiàng gāng cái huǒ jiāo wáng shī zhǎn de jù dà shù ， bù guò yào jīng shēn xuán ào dé duō 。
与凤舞九天这样的修妖功法并不相同，看上去倒有点像刚才火蛟王施展的巨大术，不过要精深玄奥得多。
Unlike the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens cultivation technique, it seemed more like a giant spell cast by Fire Dragon King, but much deeper and more profound.
ér qiě duì fāng jǐn jǐn shì jiāng shēn tǐ de jú bù biàn dà ， tōng guò xī shí tiān dì yuán qì ， tā de yòu bì zhǎng yǐ yǒu shí zhàng yú ， kàn shàng qù xiàng jù rén de shǒu bì 。 pí fū yě huà zuò le hēi sè ， biǎo miàn hái shǎn shuò zhe guāng zé ， jiù fǎng fú yóu jīng gāng zhù zào ér chéng de 。“ gē ！”
而且对方仅仅是将身体的局部变大，通过吸食天地元气，他的右臂长已有十丈余，看上去像巨人的手臂。皮肤也化作了黑色，表面还闪烁着光泽，就仿佛由精钢铸造而成的。“咯！”
Moreover, the opponent only enlarged part of his body; through devouring primordial energy from the heavens and earth, his right arm had grown to ten feet long, resembling a giant’s limb. His skin turned black, with a lustrous sheen as if forged from steel.
suí hòu jiǔ tiān xuán zūn yī shēng dà hǒu ， jǔ qǐ tiě tǎ bān de quán tou ， hěn hěn de xiàng zhe cuǐ càn de yín máng hōng luò ， zhè lǎo jiā huǒ ， yǐ xuè ròu zhī qū ， yǔ tōng tiān líng bǎo yìng pèng ， qí biāo hàn chéng dù ， jiǎn zhí wú fǎ yòng yán yǔ xíng róng 。 lín xuān de liǎn sè ， yě yǒu xiē bái le 。
随后九天玄尊一声大吼，举起铁塔般的拳头，狠狠的向着璀璨的银芒轰落，这老家伙，以血肉之躯，与通天灵宝硬碰，其彪悍程度，简直无法用言语形容。林轩的脸色，也有些白了。
"Klak!"
duì yú yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， tōng tiān líng bǎo kě yòng dà shā qì lái xíng róng ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu rén gǎn zhí lǚ qí fēng ， rán ér lí hé qī lǎo guài bì jìng yòu bù xiāng tóng ， tā men suī rán jué de nán yǐ yìng fù ， dàn quán lì shī wéi xià hái shì dǐ dǎng dé zhù 。 zhǐ shì zhè me xiāo hào fǎ lì de bǎo wù ， zì jǐ néng gòu qū shǐ duō jiǔ ne ？ lín xuān xīn zhōng yě méi yǒu dǐ ， tā bù - guò shì zài yǎo yá yìng chēng ér yǐ 。
对于元婴期修仙者，通天灵宝可用大杀器来形容，根本就没有人敢直缕其锋，然而离合期老怪毕竟又不相同，他们虽然觉得难以应付，但全力施为下还是抵挡得住。只是这么消耗法力的宝物，自己能够驱使多久呢？林轩心中也没有底，他不-过是在咬牙硬撑而已。
Nine Heaven Profound Sovereign roared loudly, raising his fist like an iron tower and smashing it down on the dazzling silver light. This old fellow was using his flesh-and-blood body to clash with the Heavenly Through Treasure; his ferocity was beyond description. Lin Xuan’s face turned pale.
zài guò qù de liǎng bǎi nián lǐ ， lín xuān lì jīng liǎo wú shù de xīng fēng xuè yǔ ， rán ér cóng méi yǒu rú jīn zhè me xiǎn è ， yīn wèi dǎ bù guò hái kě yǐ pǎo de ， rán ér zhè huí bù tóng ， méi yǒu tuì lù ， zhǐ néng qí dǎo yuè ér néng gòu kuài diǎn chū lái le 。
在过去的两百年里，林轩历经了无数的腥风血雨，然而从没有如今这么险恶，因为打不过还可以跑的，然而这回不同，没有退路，只能祈祷月儿能够快点出来了。
For an Incarnation Stage cultivator, the Heavenly Through Treasure could be considered a powerful weapon—nobody dared to directly confront it. However, Separation Stage monsters were different; though they found it hard to handle, they could still withstand full force attacks. The question was how long he could sustain such power-draining treasures.
lín xuān xīn zhōng àn àn jiào kǔ ， rán ér yǎn jiǎo jīn guāng sǎo guò ， què fǎng fú kàn jiàn zuǒ cè shén me dōng xī yī shǎn ， kōng qì zhōng yī dào dàn dàn de bō wén chū xiàn 。
林轩心中暗暗叫苦，然而眼角金光扫过，却仿佛看见左侧什么东西一闪，空气中一道淡淡的波纹出现。
Lin Xuan had no confidence in this either, only gritting his teeth and enduring the strain. Over the past two centuries, Lin Xuan had faced countless trials, but never before had things been so perilous. He could run away if he couldn’t fight back, but now there was no retreat; all he could do was pray that Moer would come out soon.
rú guǒ bú shì lín xuān shén shí zhī qiáng ， yuǎn zài tóng jiē xiū shì zhī shàng ， gēn běn jiù bù kě néng xiàn fēn háo ， cǐ shí cǐ s1， tā yǎn jiǎo bù yóu de jiǎo tiāo 。 dùn shù ！ ér qiě shì jí wéi gāo míng de nà zhǒng 。
如果不是林轩神识之强，远在同阶修士之上，根本就不可能现分毫，此时此s1，他眼角不由得徼挑。遁术！而且是极为高明的那种。
Lin Xuan inwardly groaned as his vision blurred and a faint trickle of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth. His dantian felt like it was being torn apart, but he gritted his teeth to endure. Raising his hand again, another sword emerged.
bú yòng shuō ， shì jiǔ tóu lǎo zǔ ， zhè míng kě pà de wǔ jiē yāo zú ， yǎn jiàn lín xuān yǔ liǎng míng lǎo guài wù dǎ dé rú huǒ rú tú ， biàn xiǎng yào guò lái hún shuǐ mō yú le 。
不用说，是九头老祖，这名可怕的五阶妖族，眼见林轩与两名老怪物打得如火如荼，便想要过来浑水摸鱼了。
"Damn!"
rú guǒ néng shén bù zhī guǐ bù jué de qián rù gōng diàn lǐ ， duì fù yī níng dān qī de xiǎo yā tou bù guò shì shǒu dào qín lái zhī shì ， nà xiū luó shén xuè zuì zhōng hái shì huì luò zài zì jǐ shǒu lǐ 。 kě xī lín xuān shí pò le zhè jiā fú de guǐ jì ， qǐ huì qīng qīng sōng sōng de fàng tā jìn qù 。
如果能神不知鬼不觉的潜入宫殿里，对付一凝丹期的小丫头不过是手到擒来之事，那修罗神血最终还是会落在自己手里。可惜林轩识破了这家伏的诡计，岂会轻轻松松的放他进去。
Old Patriarch Nine Heads was furious; this boy seemed fearless. He didn’t believe that a late-stage Incarnation could block three Separation Stage cultivators with the Heavenly Through Treasure. Opening his mouth, a square-shaped treasure flew out and grew as it met the wind, quickly expanding to the size of a small mountain—a type ofHeaven-Flipping Seal-class artifact—smashing down on the silver light.
xī le kǒu qì ， lín xuān gǎn jué tǐ nèi yī zhèn kōng xū ， jiē èr lián sān de shǐ yòng tōng tiān líng bǎo ， jí biàn duì tā lái shuō ， fù dān yě yǒu xiē tài dà le 。
吸了口气，林轩感觉体内一阵空虚，接二连三的使用通天灵宝，即便对他来说，负担也有些太大了。
Runes flickered, and terrifying explosions echoed in Lin Xuan’s ears. Alone against three Separation Stage cultivators, he looked formidable from the outside, but the hidden struggles were only known to him. In an instant, his power had already been halved.
yǎn qián jīn xīng luàn mào ， zuǐ jiǎo biān yǐn yǐn yǒu xuè sī shèn chū ， dān tián qì hǎi gǎn jué rú sī liè yì bān téng ， rán ér zhè suǒ yǒu de nán shòu ， lín xuān quán dōu yǎo yá rěn zhù ， tái qǐ shǒu lái ， yòu shì yī jiàn yàng chū 。“ kě wù ！”
眼前金星乱冒，嘴角边隐隐有血丝渗出，丹田气海感觉如撕裂一般疼，然而这所有的难受，林轩全都咬牙忍住，抬起手来，又是一剑样出。“可恶！”
He had many medicinal treasures and magical items on his person, but only the Storage Belt could quickly recover his energy. However, it had already been used in his fight with Nine Heads, so its effects would be negligible for now.
jiǔ tóu lǎo zǔ dà nù ， zhè xiǎo zi jiǎn zhí bù zhī sǐ huó ， tā hái bù xiāng xìn le ， qū qū yī míng wú yīng hòu qī xiū xiān zhě ， jiù suàn yǒu tōng tiān líng bǎo ， jiù néng dǎng zhù sān míng lí hé qī de cún zài me ？ zhāng f\} kǒu ， shí sì sì fāng fāng de bǎo wù pēn chū 。 yíng fēng jiù zhǎng ， zhuǎn shùn jiān jiù yǔ yī zuò xiǎo shān yī yàng 。 shì yī fān tiān yìn lèi de fǎ bǎo ， hōng lōng lóng xiàng zhe yín máng yā xià lái le 。
九头老祖大怒，这小子简直不知死活，他还不相信了，区区一名无婴后期修仙者，就算有通天灵宝，就能挡住三名离合期的存在么？张f\}口，十四四方方的宝物喷出。迎风就涨，转瞬间就与一座小山一样。是一翻天印类的法宝，轰隆隆向着银芒压下来了。
In short, Lin Xuan was drinking poison to quench thirst; realistically, he stood little chance against any Separation Stage cultivator. His current display of prowess relied entirely on the Heavenly Through Treasure and his disregard for power consumption.
fú wén shǎn shuò ， kě pà de bào liè shēng bù tíng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān yǐ yī rén zhī lì ， dú dòu sān míng lí hé qī xiū xiān biǎo ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， zì rán wēi fēng yǐ jí ， rán ér àn dì lǐ de kǔ tóu ， què zhǐ yǒu tā zì jǐ zhī 。 bù guò shùn xī de gōng fu ， lín xuān de fǎ lì ， jiù xiāo hào le yí bàn hái duō 。
符文闪烁，可怕的爆裂声不停传入耳朵，林轩以一人之力，独斗三名离合期修仙表，表面上看，自然威风以极，然而暗地里的苦头，却只有他自己知。不过瞬息的功夫，林轩的法力，就消耗了一半还多。
Lin Xuan’s expression remained resolute, but deep down, he was as anxious as a trapped ant. If this continued, when his power dwindled to nothing, he would be like a fish on a chopping block, with no control over his fate. Where was Moer? Why wasn’t she coming out?
tā shēn shàng de líng dān miào yào yǔ bǎo wù ！\} yǒu hěn duō ， dàn néng gòu kuài huī fù fǎ lì de jǐn yǒu chǔ líng dài yī zhǒng ， kě gāng gāng zài yǔ jiǔ yīng de zhàn dòu zhōng ， cǐ bǎo yǐ jīng shǐ yòng guò ， duǎn shí jiān nèi ， bù kě néng zài huī xiào guǒ 。
他身上的灵丹妙药与宝物！\}有很多，但能够快恢复法力的仅有储灵带一种，可刚刚在与九婴的战斗中，此宝已经使用过，短时间内，不可能再挥效果。
Lin Xuan was both angry and anxious, but before the thought could fully form, a figure appeared in his line of sight—Old Patriarch Luo. With two other formidable opponents sharing the burden, he finally broke through the dazzling sword light.
jiǎn dān de shuō ， lín xuān xiàn zài gēn běn jiù shì zài yǐn zhèn zhǐ kě ， bì jìng yǐ zhēn shí shí lì lái shuō ， tā duì shàng rèn hé yī míng lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， dōu shì shū duō yíng shǎo ， cǐ kè zhī suǒ yǐ néng gòu dà zhǎn xióng fēng ， wán quán shì jiè zhù tōng tiān líng bǎo ， bìng qiě sī háo bù zài yì fǎ lì xiāo hào 。
简单的说，林轩现在根本就是在饮鸩止渴，毕竟以真实实力来说，他对上任何一名离合期修仙者，都是输多赢少，此刻之所以能够大展雄风，完全是借助通天灵宝，并且丝毫不在意法力消耗。
"Brat, die!"
lín xuān de biǎo qíng yī jiù kuì dìng ， rán ér nèi xīn shēn chù ， què jí dé rú rè guō shàng de mǎ yǐ ， zài zhè yàng xià qù ， děng zì jǐ de fǎ lì suǒ shèng wú jǐ ， qǐ bù jiù chéng le zhēn bǎn shàng de yú ， héng qiè shù qiè quán dōu yóu bù dé zì jǐ 。 yuè ér nà yā tou jiū jìng zài mó cèng shén me ， gàn má hái bù chū lái ne ？
林轩的表情依旧馈定，然而内心深处，却急得如热锅上的蚂蚁，再这样下去，等自己的法力所剩无几，岂不就成了砧板上的鱼，横切竖切全都由不得自己。月儿那丫头究竟在磨蹭什么，干嘛还不出来呢？
He bared his teeth at Lin Xuan, waving his sleeve to send out a crystal dagger that slashed towards the young man’s throat. To be continued... For more chapters and support the author, please log in!「「Corpse Keeper
