cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tiān shī shàng rén qíng kuàng bù miào ， rú yān xiān zi qīng lì jué sú ， rán ér chū liǎo què hěn là dào jí chù ， yī lián sān dào gōng jī ，．
此时此刻，天狮上人情况不妙，如嫣仙子清丽绝俗，然而出了却狠辣到极处，一连三道攻击，．
At this moment, Elder Heavenly Lion was in a precarious situation. Lady Ruyan, with her exquisite and unique appearance, unleashed attacks that were vicious to the extreme. Three consecutive strikes were launched.
dāng rán ， shī wáng shēn wèi lí hé yāo zú ， běn shēn yě bú shì shuǐ huò ， tā de liǎn shàng mǎn shì zhēng níng zhī sè ， yě yǐ xiōng xìng dà fā le 。
当然，狮王身为离合妖族，本身也不是水货，他的脸上满是狰狞之色，也已凶性大发了。
Of course, as a member of the Separation-Union妖族, Elder Heavenly Lion wasn't just a mere placeholder. His face contorted into a grimace as he let loose his ferocious nature.
yī shēng páo xiāo ， tiān kōng zhōng de yún cǎi dōu bèi zhèn sàn diào 。
一声咆哮，天空中的云彩都被震散掉。
A roar echoed through the sky, causing the clouds to scatter. He then clapped his hands and summoned a golden wheel-shaped treasure. The surface was enveloped in red demonic flames, charging towards the Azure Shadow Falling Snow Sword.
suí hòu tā shuāng shǒu yī pāi ， yī jīn lún xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù bèi jì le qǐ lái 。
随后他双手一拍，一金轮形状的宝物被祭了起来。
The two treasures chased each other mid-air. Although the golden wheel was at a disadvantage, it managed to stall the offensive of the Azure Shadow Falling Snow Sword. Victory would not come easily.
biǎo miàn bèi hóng sè de mó yán bāo guǒ ， shì jiā wàn jūn de cháo zhe bì yǐng luò xuě jiàn yíng shàng qù le 。
表面被红色的魔炎包裹，势夹万钧的朝着碧影落雪剑迎上去了。
Lady Ruyan's delicate brows furrowed upon seeing this.
liǎng jiàn bǎo wù zài bàn kōng zhōng hù xiāng zhuī zhú ， jīn lún suī rán luò zài xià fēng ， dàn bì yǐng luò xuě jiàn de gōng shì yě bèi yán huǎn dǐ zhù ， xiǎng yào qǔ shèng bú shì yī shí piàn kè jiù néng bàn dào de 。
两件宝物在半空中互相追逐，金轮虽然落在下风，但碧影落雪剑的攻势也被延缓抵住，想要取胜不是一时片刻就能办到的。
Meanwhile, Elder Heavenly Lion's figure spun around, and an enormous shadow appeared behind him. It resembled neither a lion nor a tiger but exuded a fierce aura.
jiàn cǐ qíng xíng ， rú yān xiān zi xiù méi wēi pín 。
见此情形，如嫣仙子秀眉微颦。
It somewhat resembled the technique of a human cultivator's second soul fragment, yet it was different—likely unique to妖兽.
ér tiān shī shàng rén zé shēn xíng dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， yī jù dà de xū yǐng zài tā bèi hòu fú xiàn chū lái 。
而天狮上人则身形滴溜溜一转，一巨大的虚影在他背后浮现出来。
The monster opened its mouth, and black lightning flashed, just in time to block the silver electric arc aimed at its chest.
shì yī xíng mào qí tè de guài wù ， fēi shī fēi hǔ ， yī gǔ xiōng lì zhī qì pèi rán ér chū 。
是一形貌奇特的怪物，非狮非虎，一股凶厉之气沛然而出。
With every movement, Elder Heavenly Lion deflected Lady Ruyan’s two attacks. However, an ear-piercing sound of breaking air followed, as a terrifying ice pillar, formed from primordial energy, hurtled towards them.
yǒu diǎn xiàng rén zú xiū shì dì èr fēn hún de fǎ shù ， dàn zǐ xì kàn ， què yòu bìng bù xiāng tóng ， yīng
有点像人族修士第二分魂的法术，但仔细看，却又并不相同，应
A single ice pillar's power was not something to be underestimated by Separation-Union cultivators, and even Foundation Establishment cultivators could handle it. But when the number reached a certain level, it became astonishing. At this moment, there were millions of ice pillars flying in their direction.
gāi shì yāo shòu suǒ tè yǒu 。
该是妖兽所特有。
Elder Heavenly Lion’s pupils constricted, but despite his reputation for bravery, he showed little fear on his face. Instead, his expression grew even more grim.
zhè guài wù zhāng kāi dà kǒu ， hēi sè de léi diàn shǎn guò ， zhèng hǎo dǎng xià le pī xiàng xiōng kǒu de yín sè diàn
这怪物张开大口，黑色的雷电闪过，正好挡下了劈向胸口的银色电
With his left hand, he flipped and revealed a peculiar-looking treasure.
hú 。
弧。
It was a miniature mountain.
jǔ shǒu tóu zú ， yǐ huà jiě le rú yān xiān zi de liǎng dà gōng jī ， dàn jǐn jiē zhe ， lìng rén yá suān de pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ ， nà yóu tiān dì yuán qì suǒ níng jié chéng de kě pà bīng zhù ， yǐ hū xiào ér zhì le 。
举手投足，已化解了如嫣仙子的两大攻击，但紧接着，令人牙酸的破空声传入耳里，那由天地元气所凝结成的可怕冰柱，已呼啸而至了。
Lady Ruyan felt surprised. She had never fought with Elder Heavenly Lion before, so she didn’t know what kind of divine treasures or abilities he possessed.
dān gēn bīng zhù de wēi lì ， lí hé qī cún zài gēn běn jiù bú huì fàng fèn yǎn lǐ ， shèn zhì zhù jī qī xiū shì jiē xià yě méi yǒu wèn tí 。
单根冰柱的威力，离合期存在根本就不会放奋眼里，甚至筑基期修士接下也没有问题。
Elder Heavenly Lion did not explain anything either.
kě shù liàng dá dào yí dìng chéng dù ， jiù lìng rén chēng mù ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， nà hū xiào ér zhì de bīng zhù zú yǒu bǎi wàn zhī duō 。
可数量达到一定程度，就令人瞠目，此时此刻，那呼啸而至的冰柱足有百万之多。
He raised his left hand and threw the miniature mountain out. Then, he spat out a highly concentrated demonic aura.
tiān shī shàng rén tóng kǒng wēi suō ， dàn zhè yǐ yǒng měng zhù chēng de guài wù ， liǎn shàng jū rán méi yǒu duō shǎo wèi jù zhī sè ， zhǐ bù guò biǎo qíng yuè fā de yīn chén le 。
天狮上人瞳孔微缩，但这以勇猛著称的怪物，脸上居然没有多少畏惧之色，只不过表情越发的阴沉了。
The surface of this mountain glowed red as its volume rapidly increased. What was once merely a palm-sized object grew to be over a hundred feet tall in mere moments, rivaling true mountains.
zuǒ shǒu fān zhuǎn ， yī xíng zhuàng gǔ guài de fǎ bǎo jiù yìng bā - yǎn lián 。
左手翻转，一形状古怪的法宝就映八-眼帘。
Pummel pummel sounds echoed as millions of ice pillars flew towards them.
jìng shì yī mí nǐ bǎn de xiǎo shān 。
竟是一迷你版的小山。
However, the mountain's size was too massive; every single ice pillar was blocked, none escaping.
mèng rú yān lüè gǎn jīng è ， tā yǔ yāo shī shàng rén yí xiàng bù shú ， yǐ qián yě bù céng dòng shǒu qiē cuō ， duì fāng yǒu shén me shén tōng bǎo wù ， zì rán zuò bú dào yì qīng èr chǔ 。
梦如嫣略感惊愕，她与夭狮上人一向不熟，以前也不曾动手切磋，对方有什么神通宝物，自然做不到一清二楚。
Lady Ruyan’s expression was terrible. This old lion had formidable strength.
tiān shī shàng rén dāng rán yě bú huì qù jiě shì shén me 。
天狮上人当然也不会去解释什么。
Fortunately, she wasn’t alone. Lin Xuan wielded a divine treasure and joined the attack.
zuǒ shǒu yī yáng ， jiù jiāng nà mí nǐ bǎn de xiǎo shān pāo le chū qù ， rán hòu zhāng zuǐ pēn chū yī kǒu jīng chún yǐ jí de yāo qì 。
左手一扬，就将那迷你版的小山抛了出去，然后张嘴喷出一口精纯以极的妖气。
With one sword strike, the sword energy split the sea apart, turning the area into an impenetrable mist within moments.
cǐ shān biǎo miàn hóng guāng liú zhuǎn ， tǐ jī yǐ bù kě sī yì de sù dù bào zhǎng qǐ lái 。
此山表面红光流转，体积以不可思议的速度暴涨起来。
Elder Heavenly Lion sucked in his breath.
yuán běn jǐn jǐn bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de yì diǎn ， jǐn jǐn shùn xī de gōng fu ， jiù gāo dá bǎi zhàng ， jí shǐ yǔ zhēn zhèng de shān fēng xiāng bǐ ， yě háo wú xùn sè zhī dì 。
原本仅仅巴掌大小的一点，仅仅瞬息的功夫，就高达百丈，即使与真正的山峰相比，也毫无逊色之地。
Although he had seen Lin Xuan’s use of a divine treasure before, this sword was clearly far more powerful than just now.
pēng pēng pēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr lǐ ， rú jí fēng zhòu yǔ ， nà shù yǐ bǎi wàn jì de bīng zhù . yǐ fēi lüè ér zhì 。
嘭嘭嘭的声音传入耳里，如疾风骤雨，那数以百万计的冰柱.已飞掠而至。
What a cunning little fellow. He must have held back to confuse me.
rán ér cǐ shān de tǐ jī shí zài tài dà le ， suǒ yǒu de bīng zhù quán bù bèi dǎng xià ， méi yǒu yī gēn lòu wǎng zhī yú 。
然而此山的体积实在太大了，所有的冰柱全部被挡下，没有一根漏网之鱼。
He shifted his position and hid behind the giant mountain once again.
mèng rú mā de biǎo qíng nán kàn wú bǐ ， zhè lǎo shī zi ， hǎo qiáng de shí lì 。
梦如妈的表情难看无比，这老狮子，好强的实力。
Boom!
hǎo zài zì jǐ bìng fēi gū jiā guǎ rén yí gè 。 lín xuān shǒu chí tōng tiān líng bǎo ， yǐ jiā rù le wéi gōng 。
好在自己并非孤家寡人一个。林轩手持通天灵宝，已加入了围攻。
A loud explosion echoed as the entire space seemed to tremble. Elder Heavenly Lion’s eyes widened as silver light flashed, splitting the colossal peak into two halves despite its invincibility against millions of ice pillars.
yī jiàn pī xià ， nà jiàn qì yǒu ruò tiān wài fēi hóng ， suǒ guò zhī chù ， hǎi shuǐ dōu bèi fēn kāi le ， màn tiān de shuǐ wù ， fāng yuán mǐn lǐ ， yī xià zi biàn dé bù kě shì wù ， méng méng lóng lóng 。
一剑劈下，那剑气有若天外飞虹，所过之处，海水都被分开了，漫天的水雾，方圆敏里，一下子变得不可视物，朦朦胧胧。
The power of the Demon Bond Sword was truly formidable.
tiān shī shàng rén dào xī le yī kǒu liáng qì 。
天狮上人倒吸了一口凉气。
Elder Heavenly Lion’s eyes twitched. However, the mountain had effectively blocked some attacks, and after splitting it, the sword energy dissipated.
suī rán tā bú shì méi yǒu jiàn shí guò lín xuān shǐ yòng tōng tiān líng bǎo de wēi lì ， dàn zhè yī jiàn ， míng xiǎn yuǎn fēi gāng gāng kě bǐ 。
虽然他不是没有见识过林轩使用通天灵宝的威力，但这一剑，明显远非刚刚可比。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, his expression remaining calm. He poured all his magical energy into the broken sword without reservation.
hǎo jiǎo huá de xiǎo zi ， tā yǒu liú lì ， mù dì jiù shì wèi le mí huò zì jǐ 。
好狡猾的小子，他有留力，目的就是为了迷惑自己。
Since he was outnumbering his opponent, Lin Xuan aimed for a quick victory to eliminate this old lion.
shēn xíng yī zhuǎn ， zài cì duǒ zài le nà jù dà shān fēng de bèi miàn 。
身形一转，再次躲在了那巨大山峰的背面。
Otherwise, engaging in a prolonged battle would cost him dearly.
hōng !
轰!
A clear sound echoed as the Demon Bond Sword’s inscriptions flickered.
yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán lái ， zhěng gè kōng jiān ， fǎng fú dōu hěn hěn de chàn dǒu le yī xià ， tiān shī shàng rén dèng dà 7 yǎn ， suì shí fēi wǔ ， zhǐ jiàn yín sè de guāng huá shǎn guò ， nà bǎi wàn bīng zhù dōu bù céng hàn dòng de jù fēng ， jū rán bèi yìng shēng shēng de pī wèi liǎng bàn le 。
一声巨响传来，整个空间，仿佛都狠狠的颤抖了一下，天狮上人瞪大7眼，碎石飞舞，只见银色的光华闪过，那百万冰柱都不曾撼动的巨峰，居然被硬生生的劈为两半了。
Lin Xuan felt half of his magical energy being drained. However, he was not alarmed; instead, he raised his right hand and launched another strike towards Elder Heavenly Lion.
mó shì jiàn zhī wēi ， yī qiáng zhì cǐ 。
魔侍剑之威，一强至此。
Sizzle…
tiān shī shàng rén de yǎn jiǎo yǒu xiē chōu chù ， bù guò nà shān fēng yě bìng fēi méi yǒu qǐ dào zǔ dǎng de xiào guǒ ， jiāng cǐ bǎo pī kāi yǐ hòu ， nà yǒu ruò tiān wài fēi hóng bān de jiàn qì yě kuì sàn xiāo shī diào le 。
天狮上人的眼角有些抽搐，不过那山峰也并非没有起到阻挡的效果，将此宝劈开以后，那有若天外飞虹般的剑气也溃散消失掉了。
This time, there was no silver sword energy.
lín xuān xī le kǒu qì ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yī jiù lěng jìng wú bǐ ， zài cì jiāng hún shēn de fǎ lì wǎng shǒu zhōng de duàn jiàn kuáng zhù jìn qù 。
林轩吸了口气，脸上的表情依旧冷静无比，再次将浑身的法力往手中的断剑狂注进去。
Instead, colorless silver flames surged out from the blade, converging into a silver monster that appeared in his vision.
zhè yī cì ， tā méi yǒu sī háo bǎo liú 。
这一次，他没有丝毫保留。
The creature’s appearance was bizarre—human-faced with tiger-like legs. It had two exposed fangs. Chuchu!
jì rán shì yǐ zhòng líng guǎ ， lín - xuān dǎ dī jiù shì sù zhàn sù jué de zhǔ yì 。
既然是以众凌寡，林-轩打的就是速战速决的主意。
Even Lin Xuan, known for his composure, almost dropped the Demon Bond Sword in fear.
yǐ léi tíng zhī shì ， miè shā zhè lǎo shī zi 。
以雷霆之势，灭杀这老狮子。
Fortunately, he quickly recognized it as not a powerful妖族 but merely a demonic spirit conjured by the divine treasure.
fǒu zé zhēn yī bǎn yī yǎn de dòu fǎ ， jiù suàn zuì hòu dá chéng mù dì ， kěn dìng yě huì fù chū bù xiǎo de dài jià 。
否则真一板一眼的斗法，就算最后达成目的，肯定也会付出不小的代价。
The silver monster formed and roared, transforming into a streak of light that charged towards the enemy.
qīng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， mó yuán jiàn biǎo miàn fú wén shǎn shuò 。
清鸣声传入耳朵，魔缘剑表面符文闪烁。
Despite this unexpected turn, Lin Xuan quickly regained his composure. This was no time for dithering. He flipped his left hand and summoned an eerie flame the size of his head.
lín xuān gǎn jué tǐ nèi de fǎ lì bèi xī zǒu yī dà bàn le ， rán ér tā bù jīng fǎn xǐ ， yòu shǒu gāo gāo jǔ qǐ ， zài cì yī jiàn xiàng zhe duì fāng pī le guò qù 。
林轩感觉体内的法力被吸走一大半了，然而他不惊反喜，右手高高举起，再次一剑向着对方劈了过去。
"Quickly!"
cī lā ……
刺啦……
Lin Xuan pointed forward with his right hand.
zhè yī huí ， jū rán méi yǒu yín sè de guà qì 。
这一回，居然没有银色的卦气。
Azure Illusory Fire flashed as a small bird about a foot long materialized from it, sharp teeth and claws radiating an ominous presence.
ér shì wú sè yín sè de huǒ yàn cóng jiàn rèn shàng fēng yōng ér chū ， suí hòu wǎng zhōng jiān yī jù ， yī tóu yín sè guài wù jiù chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
而是无色银色的火焰从剑刃上蜂拥而出，随后往中间一聚，一头银色怪物就出现在了视线里。
After circling briefly, it also charged at Elder Heavenly Lion.
zhè guài wù xíng zhuàng gǔ guài yǐ jí ， rén miàn hǔ zú ， zuǐ bā shàng ， liǎng kē liáo yá wài lù 。 chóu wù !
这怪物形状古怪以极，人面虎足，嘴巴上，两颗獠牙外露。踌杌!
Lin Xuan’s face paled.
yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yě xià dé chà diǎn jiāng mó yuán jiàn gěi rēng diào le 。
以林轩的城府，也吓得差点将魔缘剑给扔掉了。
Two powerful attacks had significantly depleted his magical energy, but this was not enough to defeat the Separation-Union cultivator.
hǎo zài tā hěn kuài jiù biàn shí qīng chǔ ， zhè bìng fēi shàng jiè de dà néng yāo zú ， bù guò shì fǎ lì jīng yóu tōng tiān líng bǎo huàn huà chū lái de xiōng líng bà le 。
好在他很快就辨识清楚，这并非上界的大能妖族，不过是法力经由通天灵宝幻化出来的凶灵罢了。
Lin Xuan reached out again, patting his waist and revealing two dazzling rings on his chest.
chóu wù chéng xíng yǐ hòu ， lì kè yī shēng dà hǒu ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， xiàng dí rén kuáng pū ér qù
踌杌成型以后，立刻一声大吼，化为一道惊虹，像敌人狂扑而去
He grasped them with one hand, took a deep breath, and poured all his magical energy into it.
le 。
了。
A white hurricane appeared in his vision…
zhè guǐ yì de biàn gù ， suī rán ràng lín xuān lüè gǎn jīng è ， dàn tā hěn kuài jí fǎn yìng guò lái ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， kě bú shì fā dāi de shí jiān ， zuǒ - shǒu fān zhuǎn ， zhǎng xīn shàng yuè shēng chū yī tóu lú dà xiǎo de guǐ yì huǒ yàn 。
这诡异的变故，虽然让林轩略感惊愕，但他很快即反应过来，此时此刻，可不是发呆的时间，左-手翻转，掌心上跃升出一头颅大小的诡异火焰。
Elder Heavenly Lion’s face turned as pale as paper. As an old Separation-Union cultivator, he couldn’t fail to notice the subtlety of these three attacks. Directly facing them was foolish, but trying to dodge would leave him exposed to Lady Ruyan.
“ jí !”
“疾!”
In a high-stakes battle, every detail mattered. If he tried to dodge, he would surely expose himself.
lín xuān yáng shǒu xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
林轩扬手向前点去。
Damnit, I’m cornered.
bì huàn yōu huǒ yī shǎn ， yī chǐ xǔ zhǎng de xiǎo niǎo cóng lǐ miàn huàn huà chū lái ， jiān yá lì zhuǎ ， yī gǔ kě pà de qì shì mí sàn kāi 。
碧幻幽火一闪，一尺许长的小鸟从里面幻化出来，尖牙利爪，一股可怕的气势弥散开。
His face contorted with hatred as his pride and ruthlessness were ignited.
lüè yī pán xuán ， yě xiàng tiān shī shàng rén pū le guò lái 。
略一盘旋，也像天狮上人扑了过来。
A grim expression crossed his face as demonic energy surged from Elder Heavenly Lion. An enormous lion, over seven feet tall, appeared in his vision.
lín xuān liǎn sè yǒu xiē fā bái 。
林轩脸色有些发白。
This old monster was revealing its true form.
jiē lián liǎng gè dà zhāo ， ràng tā fǎ lì xiāo hào fēi xiǎo ， dàn duì fāng nǎi lí hé yāo zú ， zhè yàng de zhāo shù hái bù zú yǐ miè shā de 。
接连两个大招，让他法力消耗非小，但对方乃离合妖族，这样的招数还不足以灭杀的。
Rumble!
lín xuān zài cì shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， xiōng qián fú xiàn chū liǎng gè líng guāng cuǐ càn de yuán
林轩再次伸出手来，在腰间一拍，胸前浮现出两个灵光璀璨的圆
Facing the terrifying attack, the Lion King opened his blood-red maw, expelling a round pearl larger than an adult’s fist.
huán 。
环。
The surface glowed red; it was this old creature's demon heart. For妖族, this was their most important organ, akin to a human cultivator’s primordial core. Normally protected, its release indicated desperation.
dān shǒu wò zhù ， shēn shēn hū xī ， fǎ lì rú jué dī zhī shuǐ yì bān de zhù rù jìn qù 。
单手握住，深深呼吸，法力如决堤之水一般的注入进去。
PS: It's Monday, seeking recommendation votes! Everyone has raindrops, but the recommendations are so few this week! Urgently needed!
