zhǐ jiàn fù jìn bō dòng yì qǐ ， kōng huì yòu jiān de shāng kǒu zhī chù ， jìng rán chū xiàn le yī tuán guǐ yì de hēi wù ， jiāng tā bàn biān shēn zi bāo guǒ ， ér kōng huì de liǎn shàng ， zé mǎn shì tòng chǔ zhī sè ，．
只见附近波动一起，空晦右肩的伤口之处，竟然出现了一团诡异的黑雾，将他半边身子包裹，而空晦的脸上，则满是痛楚之色，．
只见 nearby ripples appeared, and a strange black fog enveloped the right shoulder wound of Kong Hui. His face was contorted with pain.
lín xuān méi tóu wēi zhòu ， suī rán bù zhī dào duì fāng dǎ suàn rú hé ， dàn zì rán bú huì gěi shí jiān ràng dí rén cóng róng shī fǎ de 。
林轩眉头微皱，虽然不知道对方打算如何，但自然不会给时间让敌人从容施法的。
Lin Xuan frowned slightly. Although he didn't know what his opponent intended to do, he wouldn't give him time to cast his spells calmly.
rán ér fǎng fú liào dào le duì shǒu de dòng zuò ， kōng huì jū rán qiǎng xiān chū shǒu 。
然而仿佛料到了对手的动作，空晦居然抢先出手。
However, it seemed like Kong Hui anticipated his move and struck first.
shén niàn wēi dòng ， nà bèi shēng shuāng chì bǎng de guài hǔ fā chū yī shēng sī hǒu ， rú xùn léi shǎn diàn ， cháo zhe lín xuān fēi pū shàng qián 。
神念微动，那背生双翅膀的怪虎发出一声嘶吼，如迅雷闪电，朝着林轩飞扑上前。
With a flick of his divine consciousness, the strange tiger with wings on its back let out a snarl, leaping at Lin Xuan like a bolt of lightning.
jiē zhe yòu shì yī dào fǎ jué dǎ zài chán zhàng shàng miàn ， zhàng yǐng rú shān ， rú yī piàn níng hòu de guāng mù ， cháo zhe lín xuān yā xià lái le 。
接着又是一道法诀打在禅杖上面，杖影如山，如一片凝厚的光幕，朝着林轩压下来了。
Then another spell hit the staff, creating a mountain-like shadow that pressed down towards Lin Xuan.
zhè yī huí lín xuān méi zài shī zhǎn jiǔ tiān wēi bù ， jiù suàn duì fāng zhēn shì shuāng yuán yīng xiū shì yòu rú hé ， yǐ wéi biàn dǎ dé guò zì jǐ me ？
这一回林轩没再施展九天微步，就算对方真是双元婴修士又如何，以为便打得过自己么？
Lin Xuan's face remained calm. Although he had won this round, his opponent had achieved his goal.
xiù páo yī fú ， yī gēn sān chǐ lái zhǎng de biān zi fēi lüè ér chū 。
袖袍一拂，一根三尺来长的鞭子飞掠而出。
Looking ahead, Lin Xuan saw Kong Hui. He had grown an arm on his right side, but it was grotesque and unlike a human's.
tōng tǐ zǐ sè ， yǐn yǐn yǒu fú wén zài biǎo miàn liú zhuǎn zhe ， rú guǒ méi yǒu jì cuò ， zhè wù dé zì jiǔ tóu lǎo zǔ ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān zhī jiàn shí guǎng bó ， yě wán quán kàn bù chū xī shì yòng shén me cái liào liàn zhì ér chéng de 。
通体紫色，隐隐有符文在表面流转着，如果没有记错，这物得自九头老祖，即便以林轩之见识广博，也完全看不出牺是用什么材料炼制而成的。
"Host of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, I didn't expect you to have any connection with ancient demons," Lin Xuan said coldly.
“ jí 。”
“疾。”
"What demon? I merely practice both Buddhism and Taoism. Why do you blame me when you are also a cultivator?" Kong Hui retorted.
lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù ， cǐ bǎo fú wén shǎn shuò ， huà wèi le yī gè zǐ sè jiāo lóng ， yī gǔ lì qì pèi rán ér chū ， yáo tóu bǎi wěi de biàn zhā rù le zhàng yǐng suǒ xíng chéng de guāng mù 。
林轩一指向前点去，此宝符文闪烁，化为了一各紫色蛟龙，一股戾气沛然而出，摇头摆尾的便扎入了杖影所形成的光幕。
Lin Xuan paid no heed and flashed into the Nine Heavens Microstep, then pulled out two dazzling rings from his waist pouch.
dùn shí ， pēng pēng pēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jiāo lóng bèi shù yǐ bǎi jì de zhàng yǐng zá zhōng ， rú guǒ shì pǔ tōng bǎo wù ， kǒng pà yǐ líng xìng dà shī le 。
顿时，砰砰砰的声音传入耳朵，蛟龙被数以百计的杖影砸中，如果是普通宝物，恐怕已灵性大失了。
The old monk didn't hesitate, pointing with his left hand and shooting out a black thread of energy.
rán ér lín xuān de yǎn guāng fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， bèi tā kàn zhòng de dōng xī zì rán bù kě néng shì fán wù 。
然而林轩的眼光非同小可，被他看中的东西自然不可能是凡物。
"Senior Fellow Lin, be careful of your opponent's treasure."
cǐ jiāo lóng hún ruò wú shì ， fǎn ér zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo de pū xiàng le chán zhàng de běn tǐ 。
此蛟龙浑若无事，反而张牙舞爪的扑向了禅杖的本体。
At this moment, Ji Yueyu was engaged in battle with two cultivators from Loyal Soul Valley. Despite being outnumbered, she handled the situation easily, occasionally glancing at their fight.
hěn kuài ， liǎng bǎo dòu zài le yì qǐ 。
很快，两宝斗在了一起。
The戒刀 seemed to be an impenetrable treasure, as it had caused her quite a bit of trouble during their earlier exchange.
měi yī xià zhuàng jī ， shēng yīn dōu jīng tiān dòng dì 。
每一下撞击，声音都惊天动地。
However, Lin Xuan was different. With his extensive experience in combat, he had already noticed the uniqueness of the戒刀 without Ji Yueyu's help.
zhè ge guò chéng shuō qǐ lái fán fù ， qí shí bù guò shì yī shùn jiān de gōng fu 。
这个过程说起来繁复，其实不过是一瞬间的功夫。
"Go!"
suí hòu nà bèi shēng shuāng chì de guài hǔ yǐ pū dào le shēn qián sān chǐ zhī chù 。
随后那背生双翅的怪虎已扑到了身前三尺之处。
Lin Xuan raised his left hand and shot out a green light from his sleeve.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， liǎn shàng què méi yǒu fēn háo jù sè ， zuǒ shǒu tái qǐ ， xiàng nà lǎo hǔ de é tóu pāi le xià qù 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，脸上却没有分毫惧色，左手抬起，像那老虎的额头拍了下去。
The light flickered, transforming into a dazzling streak that rushed forward.
zhǎng xīn zhōng lǜ máng shǎn shuò ， bì huàn yōu huǒ yǐ fú xiàn ér chū 。
掌心中绿芒闪烁，碧幻幽火已浮现而出。
A clang echoed as the two treasures collided mid-air. Green and black lights intertwined like two snakes devouring each other, making it hard to determine who would win.
cǐ nǎi mò yuè zú de mì shù ， lín xuān zài níng dān qī jiù huì le ， jīng guò bǎi nián de chuí liàn dǎ mó ， wēi lì yǐ yuǎn shèng yì bān de bǎo wù 。
此乃墨月族的秘术，林轩在凝丹期就会了，经过百年的锤炼打磨，威力已远胜一般的宝物。
The monk's face darkened. He knew well the power of this treasure—it was forged from meteoric iron and contained舍利es from several high-ranking monks within, making it an extremely sharp weapon in the mortal world.
jí biàn shì duì shàng lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， duì fāng yě jué bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo qīng shì de ， bì jìng róng hé le jié huǒ jīng huá hòu ， cǐ mó yán shèn zhì yǐn yǐn yǒu tōng líng de zhēng zhào le 。
即便是对上离合期修仙者，对方也绝不敢有分毫轻视的，毕竟融合了劫火精华后，此魔炎甚至隐隐有通灵的征兆了。
Even if it couldn't match a genuine灵宝, it was still formidable. No one except his senior fellow could withstand its strike.
yī shēng qīng cuì de míng jiào chuán rù ěr duǒ ， rú yòu niǎo pò ké ， cóng nà bì huàn yōu huǒ zhī zhōng ． yī yá jiān zuǐ lì de xiǎo niǎo chōng tiān ér chū ， yíng xiàng le guài wù 。
一声清脆的鸣叫传入耳朵，如幼鸟破壳，从那碧幻幽火之中．一牙尖嘴利的小鸟冲天而出，迎像了怪物。
With a flash of rage, Kong Hui cast another spell, causing the black thread to ripple and emit bloody rays that struck Lin Xuan's green fire.
cóng tǐ jī lái shuō ， liǎng zhě wán quán bú shì yí gè céng cì ， xiǎo niǎo shēn cháng bù guò chǐ xǔ ， nà è hǔ cóng tóu zhì wěi ， zé shù zhàng yǒu yú 。
从体积来说，两者完全不是一个层次，小鸟身长不过尺许，那恶虎从头至尾，则数丈有余。
Clashes resounded as the green fire was quickly overwhelmed. However, Lin Xuan's expression remained calm.
rán ér xiū xiān zhě fǎ shù wēi lì rú hé ， kě bú shì yòng dà xiǎo lái héng liáng de 。
然而修仙者法术威力如何，可不是用大小来衡量的。
Green fire wasn't an ordinary treasure; his opponent’s attempt to cut it down was mere delusion.
cǐ è hǔ céng jiāng huà xíng qī de jiāo lóng qīng yì sī wèi fěn mò ， kě miàn duì bì huǒ yōu huǒ ， què zài yě méi yǒu fā wēi zhī chù 。
此恶虎曾将化形期的蛟龙轻易撕为粉末，可面对碧火幽火，却再也没有发威之处。
"Go! Witness the power of a hundred dragons' fangs."
xī zhāng zuǐ fā chū yī dào guāng bō ， xiǎo niǎo què duǒ dōu bù duǒ ， suí hòu yī tóu biàn zhuàng rù xī zuǐ bā lǐ miàn qù le 。
牺张嘴发出一道光波，小鸟却躲都不躲，随后一头便撞入牺嘴巴里面去了。
Lin Xuan clapped his hands, and hundreds of ice serpents and fire dragons roared, lunging towards Kong Hui.
guài wù de zhěng gè shēn tǐ ， rán qǐ le xióng xióng de liè jiá 。
怪物的整个身体，燃起了熊熊的烈荚。
The old monk's face turned pale. The five-colored Buddha light was formidable, but he had no confidence at this moment. He quickly unfurled his robe to defend himself.
bù guò shùn xī de gōng fu ， jiù bèi fén shāo yī kōng 。
不过瞬息的功夫，就被焚烧一空。
Buddhist chants filled the air as the treasure transformed into a protective barrier. In the center of the barrier were numerous small and large "Buddhas."
lìng wài yī biān ， zǐ bèng biān zài yǔ chán zhàng de zhēng dòu zhōng ， yě tóng yàng zhàn jù shàng fēng 。
另外一边，紫蹦鞭在与禅杖的争斗中，也同样占据上风。
Each character was imbued with immense spiritual energy, making the barrier incredibly strong.
rán ér lín xuān liǎn shàng què méi yǒu xǐ sè ， tā suī rán xiǎo shèng le yī jú ， dàn duì fāng yě dá dào le mù dì 。
然而林轩脸上却没有喜色，他虽然小胜了一局，但对方也达到了目的。
However, Lin Xuan had full confidence in the Hundred Dragon Fangs.
lín xuān tái tóu xiàng qián fāng wàng qù ， kōng huì yìng rù le yǎn lián lǐ ， tā jū rán zhǎng chū le yòu bì 。
林轩抬头向前方望去，空晦映入了眼帘里，他居然长出了右臂。
The Nine Heavens Moon Ring was his primary treasure, but it seemed to be unnecessary during battles. Even though he usually used other treasures more often, they didn't seem as effective as the Nine Heavens Moon Ring.
rán ér nà shǒu què zhēng níng kě bù ， yǔ rén lèi dà bù xiāng tóng 。
然而那手却狰狞可怖，与人类大不相同。
Was this treasure really so useless?
rú guǒ yí dìng yào shuō ， dào yǔ yāo mó de lì zhuǎ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù ， biǎo miàn bèi zǐ hóng sè de lín piàn měi guǒ ， wǔ zhǐ jiān lì ， shǒu zhǒu chù hái yǒu gǔ dāo bān de lì rèn shēn chū 。
如果一定要说，倒与妖魔的利爪有几分相似之处，表面被紫红色的鳞片每裹，五指尖利，手肘处还有骨刀般的利刃伸出。
In reality, there were two reasons that limited its power: first, the owner's cultivation had to reach late-stage元婴; Lin Xuan was now satisfied with his current level.
“ gé xià nǎi wàn fú zōng zhǔ chí ， méi xiǎng dào què yǔ shàng gǔ yāo mó yǒu bù qīng bù chǔ de guān xì 。” lín xuān liǎn sè yīn mái xià qù ， lěng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
“阁下乃万佛宗主持，没想到却与上古妖魔有不清不楚的关系。”林轩脸色阴霾下去，冷冷的声音传入耳朵里。
Secondly, the Nine Heavens Moon Ring had a flaw—it only contained Southward Brightness Fire and needed an extremely cold attribute material for balance.
“ shén me yāo mó ， lǎo nà bù guò fú mó jiān xiū bà le ， shī zhǔ yòu hé bì zhǐ zé ， nǐ zì jǐ bù yě tóng yàng shì xiū yāo zhě 。” kōng huì bù yǐ wéi rán de shuō 。
“什么妖魔，老衲不过佛魔兼修罢了，施主又何必指责，你自己不也同样是修妖者。”空晦不以为然的说。
Back then, as a condensation period cultivator, he had obtained Southward Brightness Fire by sheer luck and couldn't afford to seek out a cold attribute item.
lín xuān lǎn de yǔ tā duō fèi chún shé ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， zài cì jiāng jiǔ tiān wēi bù shī zhǎn chū lái ， tóng shí zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， cóng chǔ wù dài zhōng fēi shè chū yī duì cuǐ càn de shuāng huán 。
林轩懒得与他多费唇舌，身形一闪，再次将九天微步施展出来，同时在腰间一拍，从储物袋中飞射出一对璀璨的双环。
Now, however, he finally found the balancing element. The enmity with the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect stemmed from this cold attribute material—the top-grade Heavenly Moon Crystal could even communicate.
lǎo hé shàng bù gǎn dài màn ， zuǒ shǒu xiàng qián yì diǎn ， dùn shí fēi shè chū yī dào hēi sè de pǐ liàn 。
老和尚不敢怠慢，左手向前一点，顿时飞射出一道黑色的匹练。
Although Lin Xuan possessed this treasure, he had been too busy to re-cast his primary magical artifact.
“ lín shī shū ， xiǎo xīn duì fāng shǒu zhōng de bǎo wù 。”
“林师叔，小心对方手中的宝物。”
But he didn't have time; Yue'er did.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， jī yuè rú yǐ duì shàng le liǎng míng lì hún gǔ de xiū xiān zhě ， suī shì yǐ èr dǎ yī ， yī jiù xiǎn de yóu rèn yǒu yú ， bù shí chōu kòng guān zhù zhè biān de zhàn jú 。
此时此刻，姬月如已对上了两名厉魂谷的修仙者，虽是以二打一，依旧显得游刃有余，不时抽空关注这边的战局。
They were not only master and servant but also husband and wife. It wouldn't be a problem for her to assist in the casting process.
nà jiè dāo yě bù zhī shì shén me bǎo wù ， jiǎn zhí kě yòng wú wù bù duàn lái xíng róng 。
那戒刀也不知是什么宝物，简直可用无物不断来形容。
With Yue'er residing at the Heavenly Mechanism Mansion, both cultivation and treasure refinement would be convenient.
zài gāng gāng de jiāo shǒu zhōng ， jī yuè rú jiù chī le bù shǎo kǔ tóu 。
在刚刚的交手中，姬月如就吃了不少苦头。
Now that the Nine Heavens Moon Ring truly unleashed its full power.
rán ér lín xuān què shì bù yí yàng de ， yǐ tā dòu fǎ jīng yàn zhī fēng fù ， bù yòng jī yuè rú cóng páng tí diǎn ， yě zǎo jiù kàn chū nà jiè dāo de bù fán 。
然而林轩却是不一样的，以他斗法经验之丰富，不用姬月如从旁提点，也早就看出那戒刀的不凡。
Hundred Dragon Fangs!
“ qù ！”
“去！”
Lin Xuan believed even a Separation Period cultivator would retreat from this technique. Even if Kong Hui was as he suspected—a dual-stage元婴 cultivator—he wouldn't withstand it.
lín xuān zuǒ shǒu tái qǐ ， yī dào qīng máng cóng yī xiù zhōng fēi shè chū qù 。
林轩左手抬起，一道青芒从衣袖中飞射出去。
After a series of probing attacks, Lin Xuan didn't want to prolong the battle; he wanted a quick resolution. Not only was the situation at the Heavenly Sea Pavilion pressing, but he also didn't wish to expend too much energy.
líng guāng shǎn shuò ， huà wèi yī dào yào mù de jīng hóng ， xiàng qián yíng shàng qù le 。
灵光闪烁，化为一道耀目的惊虹，向前迎上去了。
In an instant, the ice serpents and fire dragons collided with the Buddha characters' barrier.
“ zhēng ” de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， liǎng bǎo zài bàn kōng zhōng xiāng chù ， qīng guāng hēi máng jiāo zhī zài yì qǐ ， jiù fǎng fú liǎng tiáo mó shé hù xiāng tūn shì ， yī shí zhī jiān ， jìng nán yǐ fēn chū shèng fù 。
“铮”的一声传入耳朵，两宝在半空中相触，青光黑芒交织在一起，就仿佛两条魔蛇互相吞噬，一时之间，竟难以分出胜负。
A puff of blood mist filled the air as the barrier's defense crumbled before the Hundred Dragon Fangs.
hé shàng de liǎn sè yǒu xiē nán kàn le 。
和尚的脸色有些难看了。
Kong Hui was shocked.
bié rén huò xǔ bù qīng chǔ ， cǐ bǎo de wēi néng tā què xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， nǎi shì yòng tiān wài yǔn tiě duàn liàn ér chéng de ， lǐ miàn hái róng hé le běn mén shù wèi gāo sēng de shě lì ， qí fēng lì chéng dù ， jiù rén jiè lái shuō ， jué duì shì dǐng ér jiān ér zhī wù 。
别人或许不清楚，此宝的威能他却心中有数，乃是用天外陨铁锻炼而成的，里面还融合了本门数位高僧的舍利，其锋利程度，就人界来说，绝对是顶儿尖儿之物。
Although he had sensed the power of this technique, he never imagined it would be so formidable.
jiù suàn bù jí fǎng zhì líng bǎo ， yě lìng rén dèng mù ， chú le shī shū ， hái méi yǒu rén néng jiē xià cǐ bǎo yī jī de 。
就算不及仿制灵宝，也令人瞪目，除了师叔，还没有人能接下此宝一击的。
Damn it!
liǎn shàng lì qì shǎn guò ， kōng huì yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， nà hēi sè de pǐ liàn yī dǒu zhī xià ， xuè xīng zhī qì dà zuò ， jū rán huà sū shí jǐ dào zǐ hóng sè de xuè máng xiàng zhe qīng huǒ zhǎn guò qù le 。
脸上戾气闪过，空晦一道法诀打出，那黑色的匹练一抖之下，血腥之气大做，居然化苏十几道紫红色的血芒向着青火斩过去了。
It was too late to dodge. Even his robe couldn't withstand such a strike; ordinary five-colored light was even less effective.
zhuàng jī shēng jiē lián ér qǐ ， qīng huǒ xùn sù bèi yān mò le jìn qù ， rán ér lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yī jiù zhèn dìng yǐ jí 。
撞击声接连而起，青火迅速被淹没了进去，然而林轩脸上的表情依旧镇定以极。
In high-level combat, every detail counted. Before Kong Hui could react, he was swallowed by the Hundred Dragons.
qīng huǒ kě bú shì yì bān de bǎo wù ， duì fāng xiǎng jiāng qí zhǎn sī bù guò shì chī rén shuō mèng bà le 。
青火可不是一般的宝物，对方想将其斩斯不过是痴人说梦罢了。
Lin Xuan exhaled in relief. The enemy was indeed formidable.
lín xuān yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán líng guāng shǎn shuò ， shù shí tóu bīng jiāo yǔ huǒ lóng chū xiàn zài le bàn kōng ， zài lín xuān shēn cè pán xuán fēi wǔ 。
林轩一道法诀打出，九天明月环灵光闪烁，数十头冰蛟与火龙出现在了半空，在林轩身侧盘旋飞舞。
Before he could fully process this, a deafening sound echoed.
rán ér zhè hái méi yǒu jié shù ， suí zhe lín xuān shuāng shǒu biàn huàn bù yǐ ， nà xiē jiāo lóng jū rán yī huà wèi qī ， ér qiě měi yī tóu suǒ sàn fà chū lái de wēi yā ， dōu méi yǒu fēn háo jiǎn ruò ， dùn shí ， zhē bì zhù le bàn biān tiān kōng 。
然而这还没有结束，随着林轩双手变幻不已，那些蛟龙居然一化为七，而且每一头所散发出来的威压，都没有分毫减弱，顿时，遮蔽住了半边天空。
Looking up, Lin Xuan saw a sea of blood as Kong Hui, the head of his sect, had resorted to self-destructing his body to escape.
qiě bù lùn zhè xiē jiāo lóng wēi lì rú hé ， guāng shì shēng shì jiù lìng rén cè mù 。
且不论这些蛟龙威力如何，光是声势就令人侧目。
A vortex of spiritual energy appeared in the sky, and the Hundred Dragons were sucked in. It didn't matter; it was just an illusion created by the Nine Heavens Moon Ring. The real artifact remained with Lin Xuan, at most losing some energy.
kōng huì zuì kuài liǎn sè yě kuáng biàn le 。
空晦最快脸色也狂变了。
Nevertheless, Lin Xuan's face darkened as he took a deep breath, a faint blue light appearing in his eyes.
“ qù ， kàn wǒ bǎi lóng zhī yá de wēi lì 。”
“去，看我百龙之牙的威力。”
Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye!
lín xuān shuāng shǒu yī qiā ， shù yǐ bǎi jì de bīng jiāo yǔ huǒ lóng qí shēng páo xiāo ， zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo ， xiàng zhe kōng huì fēi pū ér qù 。
林轩双手一掐，数以百计的冰蛟与火龙齐声咆哮，张牙舞爪，向着空晦飞扑而去。
One of the secret techniques from the Dance of the Heavenly Phoenix, it greatly enhanced the user’s vision. It was said that with enough practice, one could see through all illusions.
lǎo hé shàng dà jīng shī sè ， wǔ cǎi fó guāng de fáng yù lì suī fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā què bàn diǎn xìn xīn yě wú ， máng yáng shǒu jiāng bān zài shēn shàng de jiā shā jì chū 。
老和尚大惊失色，五彩佛光的防御力虽非同小可，但此时此刻，他却半点信心也无，忙扬手将扳在身上的袈裟祭出。
Although Lin Xuan was far from mastering this technique, he still caught a faint golden light in his eyes.
只见 nearby ripples appeared, and a strange black fog enveloped the right shoulder wound of Kong Hui. His face was contorted with pain.
Lin Xuan frowned slightly. Although he didn't know what his opponent intended to do, he wouldn't give him time to cast his spells calmly.
However, it seemed like Kong Hui anticipated his move and struck first.
With a flick of his divine consciousness, the strange tiger with wings on its back let out a snarl, leaping at Lin Xuan like a bolt of lightning.
Then another spell hit the staff, creating a mountain-like shadow that pressed down towards Lin Xuan.
Damn it!
Lin Xuan's face remained calm. Although he had won this round, his opponent had achieved his goal.
Looking ahead, Lin Xuan saw Kong Hui. He had grown an arm on his right side, but it was grotesque and unlike a human's.
"Host of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, I didn't expect you to have any connection with ancient demons," Lin Xuan said coldly.
"What demon? I merely practice both Buddhism and Taoism. Why do you blame me when you are also a cultivator?" Kong Hui retorted.
Lin Xuan paid no heed and flashed into the Nine Heavens Microstep, then pulled out two dazzling rings from his waist pouch.
The old monk didn't hesitate, pointing with his left hand and shooting out a black thread of energy.
"Senior Fellow Lin, be careful of your opponent's treasure."
At this moment, Ji Yueyu was engaged in battle with two cultivators from Loyal Soul Valley. Despite being outnumbered, she handled the situation easily, occasionally glancing at their fight.

However, Lin Xuan was different. With his extensive experience in combat, he had already noticed the uniqueness of the戒刀 without Ji Yueyu's help.

Lin Xuan raised his left hand and shot out a green light from his sleeve.
The light flickered, transforming into a dazzling streak that rushed forward.

With a flash of rage, Kong Hui cast another spell, causing the black thread to ripple and emit bloody rays that struck Lin Xuan's green fire.
Clashes resounded as the green fire was quickly overwhelmed. However, Lin Xuan's expression remained calm.

After a series of probing attacks, Lin Xuan didn't want to prolong the battle; he wanted a quick resolution. Not only was the situation at the Heavenly Sea Pavilion pressing, but he also didn't wish to expend too much energy.
In an instant, the ice serpents and fire dragons collided with the Buddha characters' barrier.
A puff of blood mist filled the air as the barrier's defense crumbled before the Hundred Dragon Fangs.
Kong Hui was shocked.
Although he had sensed the power of this technique, he never imagined it would be so formidable.
Damn it!
It was too late to dodge. Even his robe couldn't withstand such a strike; ordinary five-colored light was even less effective.
In high-level combat, every detail counted. Before Kong Hui could react, he was swallowed by the Hundred Dragons.
Lin Xuan exhaled in relief. The enemy was indeed formidable.
Boom!
Before he could fully process this, a deafening sound echoed.
Looking up, Lin Xuan saw a sea of blood as Kong Hui, the head of his sect, had resorted to self-destructing his body to escape.
A vortex of spiritual energy appeared in the sky, and the Hundred Dragons were sucked in. It didn't matter; it was just an illusion created by the Nine Heavens Moon Ring. The real artifact remained with Lin Xuan, at most losing some energy.
Nevertheless, Lin Xuan's face darkened as he took a deep breath, a faint blue light appearing in his eyes.
Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye!
One of the secret techniques from the Dance of the Heavenly Phoenix, it greatly enhanced the user’s vision. It was said that with enough practice, one could see through all illusions.
Although Lin Xuan was far from mastering this technique, he still caught a faint golden light in his eyes.
