zhì yú zì jǐ ，．
至于自己，．
As for Lin Xuan himself,
yǔ shé xiē xiān zi xiāng bǐ ， qīng yuán shī wáng hái yào gèng qiáng yī xiē 。
与蛇蝎仙子相比，清源尸王还要更强一些。
compared to the Scorpion Fairy, the Corpse King of Clear Origin was even stronger.
lín xuān huà yīn wèi luò ， bái guāng shǎn shuò ， yī wèi měi mào de shào nǚ yǐ chū xiàn zài yǎn qián 。
林轩话音未落，白光闪烁，一位美貌的少女已出现在眼前。
Before Lin Xuan's words had fully faded away, a flash of white light appeared before him. A beautiful young girl materialized in front of him.
zhū yù wèi chún ， shuǐ zuò fū ， yuè ér shí yǒu qīng guó qīng chéng zhī sè 。
珠玉为唇，水做肤，月儿实有倾国倾城之色。
Her lips were like pearls, her skin as smooth as water, and she had the beauty to captivate an entire nation.
sū bàng chún yī dāi ， suī rán xīn zhōng yǒu xiē yí huò ， bù guò lín xuān jì rán zhè yàng ān pái ， tā zì rán bú huì kāi kǒu duō yán 。
苏棒唇一呆，虽然心中有些疑惑，不过林轩既然这样安排，她自然不会开口多言。
Su Bang's eyes widened in surprise, though he was somewhat puzzled by this arrangement. Since Lin Xuan had made these plans, he naturally did not speak out.
lín xuān hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， xiàng zhe zuǒ cè fēi zi guò qù 。
林轩浑身青芒一起，向着左侧飞子过去。
Lin Xuan's body was enveloped in a green glow as he flew towards his left side.
shé xiē xiān zi yòu jīng yòu nù ， zhè jiā huo shí zài tài xiāo zhāng le ， jū rán shì zì jǐ wèi wú wù 。
蛇蝎仙子又惊又怒，这家伙实在太嚣张了，居然视自己为无物。
The Scorpion Fairy was both shocked and angry. This guy was too arrogant; he treated her like nothing.
“ xiǎng zǒu ， xiān jiāng mìng liú xià zài shuō 。”
“想走，先将命留下再说。”
"Want to leave? First, you must leave your life behind."
huà yīn wèi luò ， cǐ nǚ yù shǒu yī shì ， péng bó de fǎ lì xiōng yǒng ér chū ， yǔ zhōu wéi de tiān dì yuán qì hùn hé ， bàn suí zhe qī lì de sī hǒu ， tā de shēn qián chū xiàn le yí gè jiē yí gè de guǐ tóu 。
话音未落，此女玉手一柿，蓬勃的法力汹涌而出，与周围的天地元气混合，伴随着凄厉的嘶吼，她的身前出现了一个接一个的鬼头。
Before she could finish speaking, her jade hand snapped out, releasing surging magical power that mixed with the surrounding primordial energy. Accompanied by a piercing howl, ghost heads began appearing before her.
měi yí gè shuāng yǎn jiē zuò xuè hóng zhī sè ， bèi qī hēi de yīn wù bāo guǒ ， kě pà de xiōng lì zhī qì pèi rán ér chū 。
每一个双眼皆做血红之色，被漆黑的阴雾包裹，可怕的凶厉之气沛然而出。
Each had blood-red eyes and were shrouded in dark, sinister mist, exuding terrifying ferocity.
shé xiē xiān zi jiāo měi de róng yán shàng shǎn guò shā qì ， chōng zhe lín xuān fēi dùn de fāng xiàng yì diǎn zhǐ 。
蛇蝎仙子娇美的容颜上闪过杀气，冲着林轩飞遁的方向一点指。
A murderous aura flashed across the Scorpion Fairy's beautiful face as she pointed at Lin Xuan's direction of flight.
suǒ yǒu xíng mào zhēng níng de guǐ tóu ， dùn shí fā chū qī lì de sī hǒu ， kǒu lǐ luàn jué ， è hěn hěn de pū xiàng lín xuān de dùn guāng 。
所有形貌狰狞的鬼头，顿时发出凄厉的嘶吼，口里乱嚼，恶狠狠的扑向林轩的遁光。
All the ghastly heads let out piercing howls, their mouths chomping viciously as they lunged towards Lin Xuan’s flying light.
lí hé qī lǎo guài wù de gōng jī ， zì rán yōng yǒu fēi fán wēi lì ， rán ér lín xuān shì ruò wú dǔ ， yīn wèi tā zhī dào yuè ér huì bāng zì jǐ jiāng dí rén dǎng zhù 。
离合期老怪物的攻击，自然拥有非凡威力，然而林轩视若无睹，因为他知道月儿会帮自己将敌人挡住。
The attack from a veteran of the Separation and Union stage was naturally formidable. However, Lin Xuan paid no heed to it, knowing that Yue'er would protect him.
guǒ rán ， xiǎo yā tou yī shēng jiāo chì ， yù shǒu tái qǐ ， cóng zhǎng xīn zhōng yuè shēng qǐ yī bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de fān qí 。
果然，小丫头一声娇叱，玉手抬起，从掌心中跃升起一巴掌大小的幡旗。
Sure enough, the young girl cried out in a delicate voice, raising her jade hand. A banner the size of a palm leaped from her palm.
qīng qīng yī huǎng ， cǐ bǎo yíng fēng jiù zhǎng ， yīn fēng guǐ qì ， bāo guǒ zhù yuè ér de jiāo qū ， qí guǐ yì zhī chù ， yì diǎn yě bù bǐ shé xiē xiān zi xùn sè 。
轻轻一晃，此宝迎风就涨，阴风鬼气，包裹住月儿的娇躯，其诡异之处，一点也不比蛇蝎仙子逊色。
With a gentle shake, this treasure expanded as if caught by the wind, enveloping Yue'er's slender figure with dark winds and ghostly energy. Its eerie nature was no less impressive than that of the Scorpion Fairy.
xiǎo yā tou yì diǎn zhǐ ， chī chī de pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ ， cóng shòu hún fān suǒ huà de wū yún zhōng ， jī shè chū shù shí dào fēng rèn ， měi yī dào zhǎng jiē yǒu zhàng xǔ ， hēi máng yào mù ， yī kàn jiù jiǒng yì yú pǔ tōng de fēng rèn zhī shù 。
小丫头一点指，嗤嗤的破空声传入耳里，从兽魂幡所化的乌云中，激射出数十道风刃，每一道长皆有丈许，黑芒耀目，一看就迥异于普通的风刃之术。
The young girl pointed at Lin Xuan’s direction, and a series of whistling sounds filled the air. From the clouds formed by the Beast Soul Banner, dozens of wind blades shot out, each over ten feet long, with glaring black light—far from ordinary wind blade techniques.
pū pū pū ……
噗噗噗……
Puff puff puff...
yǒu xiē chén mèn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì zhè xiē fēng rèn sù dù jí kuài ， zài bàn tú jiāng guǐ tóu lán le xià lái 。
有些沉闷的声音传入耳朵，却是这些风刃速度极快，在半途将鬼头拦了下来。
Some muffled sounds entered his ears as these wind blades, moving at incredible speed, intercepted the ghost heads in mid-air.
ér lín xuān shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yǐ jiāng jiǔ tiān wēi bù shī zhǎn kāi ， lái dào qīng yuán shī wáng miàn qián 。
而林轩身形一闪，已将九天微步施展开，来到清源尸王面前。
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan’s figure flashed, and he unfolded Nine Heaven Microstep to stand before the Corpse King of Clear Origin.
zuò wèi shé xiē xiān zi de zhàng fū ， zhè lǎo jiā huǒ tóng yàng cán rěn dǎi dú ， yuán běn yǔ liú yíng duì zhàn de shí hòu ， qīng yuán shī wáng bìng wèi shén tōng jǐn chū ， ér shì xiǎng yào māo xì lǎo shǔ 。
做为蛇蝎仙子的丈夫，这老家伙同样残忍歹毒，原本与刘莹对战的时候，清源尸王并未神通尽出，而是想要猫戏老鼠。
As her husband, this old man was just as cruel and vicious. During his battle with Liu Ying, the Corpse King had not fully unleashed his power but instead toyed with her like a cat playing with a mouse.
bù guò lín xuān zhòu rán jiā rù ， què ràng tā gǎi biàn zhǔ yì le 。
不过林轩骤然加入，却让他改变主意了。
However, Lin Xuan’s sudden appearance changed his mind.
yè cháng mèng duō ， qīng yuán shī wáng kě bù xiǎng zhōng tú chū shén me chā cuò 。
夜长梦多，清源尸王可不想中途出什么差错。
With much at stake, the Corpse King did not want any mishaps during this fight.
yī shēng nù hǒu ， zhè lǎo guài wù shēn xíng dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， yī gǔ gǔ zhōng rén yù ǒu de shī qì cóng xī shēn shàng shì fàng chū lái ， huàn huà wéi shù shí tiáo shuǐ tǒng cū xì de jù mǎng ， è hěn hěn de pū xiàng le liú yíng suǒ zài de fāng xiàng 。
一声怒吼，这老怪物身形滴溜溜一转，一股股中人欲呕的尸气从牺身上释放出来，幻化为数十条水桶粗细的巨蟒，恶狠狠的扑像了刘莹所在的方向。
A fierce roar escaped him as he released waves of nauseating corpse energy from his body. This transformed into dozens of giant snakes, each about the size of a water barrel, lunging towards Liu Ying's direction.
rú mù shì pǔ tōng de yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě ， liú yíng shí yǒu ** dǎng bú zhù zhè yàng de zhāo shù ， bì jìng lí hé qī cún zài jǔ shǒu tóu zú ， dōu jù yǒu yí shān tián hǎi de dà shén tōng 。
如慕是普通的元婴后期的大修仙者，刘莹十有**挡不住这样的招数，毕竟离合期存在举手投足，都具有移山填海的大神通。
If Liu Ying were just an ordinary late-stage元婴 cultivator, she would likely be unable to withstand such attacks, given that Separation and Union stage existents could perform feats as powerful as moving mountains with a mere flick of their fingers.
rán ér liú yíng bù tóng ， fàng yǎn tiān yá hǎi gé ， chú le rú yān shī shū ， tā kě chēng dì yī gāo shǒu ， fǎ lì shén tōng ， shèn zhì bǐ sū shì chún hái yào shèng shàng yī chóu 。
然而刘莹不同，放眼天涯海阁，除了如嫣师叔，她可称第一高手，法力神通，甚至比苏释唇还要胜上一筹。
However, Liu Ying was different. Among the vast expanse of Tianya Hage, she could claim to be the top expert, her magical power even surpassing Su Shilin's by a notch.
miàn duì shī qì suǒ huà de mó mǎng ， cǐ nǚ liǎn shàng suī liú lù chū níng zhòng zhī sè ， dàn què yì diǎn yě bù huāng luàn shén me 。
面对尸气所化的魔蟒，此女脸上虽流露出凝重之色，但却一点也不慌乱什么。
Facing the corpse energy transformed into demonic serpents, this woman’s face showed a serious expression but remained calm.
yòu páo yī fú ， yī bǐng yǔ sǎn xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù fēi lüè ér chū ， dī liū liū xuán zhuǎn zhe ， yī lián fàng chū le hóng huáng lán sān dào bù tóng yán sè de guāng mù 。
柚袍一拂，一柄雨伞形状的宝物飞掠而出，滴溜溜旋转着，一连放出了红黄蓝三道不同颜色的光幕。
She waved her yew robe and a rain umbrella-shaped treasure flew out. It spun around, releasing three differently colored light curtains—red, yellow, and blue.
mó mǎng hěn kuài pū dào le ， zài shàng miàn sī chě pū yǎo 。
魔蟒很快扑到了，在上面撕扯扑咬。
The demonic serpents quickly lunged at these light curtains, tearing and biting them.
guāng mù xùn sù àn dàn xià qù ， dàn xiǎng yào zài jí duǎn de shí jiān nèi jiāng qí gōng pò yě shì bù kě néng dì 。
光幕迅速黯淡下去，但想要在极短的时间内将其攻破也是不可能地。
The light curtains rapidly dimmed, but it was impossible to break through them in such a short time.
ér zhè shāo yī dān gē ， lín xuān yǐ lái dào liǎng rén de zhōng jiān le 。
而这稍一耽搁，林轩已来到两人的中间了。
This slight delay allowed Lin Xuan to arrive between the two of them.
shī wáng liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī lì qì ， dàn lüè yī chí yí ， hái shì tíng zhǐ le gōng jī 。
尸王脸上闪过一丝戾气，但略一迟疑，还是停止了攻击。
A hint of viciousness flashed across the Corpse King's face, but after a moment’s hesitation, he stopped his attack.
liú yíng sōng le kǒu qì ， yě jiāng shēn cè de guāng mù chú qù 。
刘莹松了口气，也将身侧的光幕除去。
Liu Ying exhaled with relief and removed her light curtain as well.
“ dì zǐ cān jiàn shī shū ， duō xiè nín chū shǒu xiàng zhù 。” cǐ nǚ liǎn rèn yī lǐ ， rán ér wàng xiàng lín xuān de mù guāng què yǒu xiē hào qí 。
“弟子参见师叔，多谢您出手相助。”此女敛衽一礼，然而望向林轩的目光却有些好奇。
"Disciple pays respects to Senior Auntie. Thank you for your assistance," she said, bowing, though her gaze was curious.
liú yíng zì fù shén tōng fǎ lì ， tóng yàng yuǎn shèng pǔ tōng de yáo yīng hòu qī ， nán dào zhè bù qǐ yǎn de shào nián ， zhēn de hái yào qiáng guò zì jǐ 。
刘莹自负神通法力，同样远胜普通的尧婴后期，难道这不起眼的少年，真的还要强过自己。
Liu Ying, confident in her magical power, was also far superior to ordinary late-stage元婴 cultivators. Could this unremarkable young man truly be stronger than herself?
bàn xìn bàn yí ， bù guò biǎo miàn shàng de lǐ shù hái shì yào zuò dào dì 。
半信半疑，不过表面上的礼数还是要做到地。
Half-believing and half-doubting, but still showing the proper courtesies,
“ bù yòng duō lǐ ， zhè lǎo guài wù jiāo gěi wǒ ， mí qù yī páng wéi gōng nà shé xiē xiān zi jiù xíng le 。” lín xuān mù guāng zài liú yíng shēn shàng sǎo guò ， bù dòng shēng sè de kāi kǒu le 。
“不用多礼，这老怪物交给我，弥去一旁围攻那蛇蝎仙子就行了。”林轩目光在刘莹身上扫过，不动声色的开口了。
"Never mind the formalities. This old monster is left to me; you can focus on attacking that Scorpion Fairy," Lin Xuan said, his gaze sweeping over Liu Ying.
suī shuō yuè ér rú jīn de shén tōng jīn fēi xī bǐ ， dàn dòu fǎ jīng yàn bì jìng qiǎn le xiē ， ruò yǒu liǎng míng yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū shì cóng páng xiāng zhù ， lín xuān yě kě yǐ ān xīn yī xiē 。
虽说月儿如今的神通今非昔比，但斗法经验毕竟浅了些，若有两名元婴后期的大修士从旁相助，林轩也可以安心一些。
Although Yue'er's current powers had greatly improved, her combat experience was shallow. With two late-stage元婴 cultivators assisting from the side, Lin Xuan could feel more at ease.
“ shì ， nà jiù qǐng shī shū duō duō bǎo zhòng 。”
“是，那就请师叔多多保重。”
"Yes, then please take care."
liú yíng diǎn le diǎn tóu ， cǐ nǚ dǎo shì xìng gé shuǎng lǎng de rén wù ， yě bù duō shuō ， jiù zhuǎn shēn fēi xiàng le lìng yī cè 。
刘莹点了点头，此女倒是性格爽朗的人物，也不多说，就转身飞向了另一侧。
Liu Ying nodded and turned to fly towards the other side.
qīng yuán shī wáng lüè yī chí yí ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò bù gān zhī yì ， dàn què méi yǒu chū shǒu zǔ lán shén me ， yīn wèi yǒu qiáng dí hǔ shì zài cè 。
清源尸王略一迟疑，眼中闪过不甘之意，但却没有出手阻拦什么，因为有强敌虎视在侧。
The Corpse King hesitated for a moment, his eyes flashing with不甘 (reluctance), but he did not intervene. With a powerful enemy watching him from the side, he focused on Lin Xuan.
tā de mù guāng zài lín xuān shēn shàng sǎo guò ， biǎo qíng biàn dé yīn mái yǐ jí le 。
他的目光在林轩身上扫过，表情变得阴霾以极了。
His gaze swept over Lin Xuan, his expression turning extremely gloomy.
lín xuān zì rán bù jīn wèi jù ， tóng shǒu guò zhāo ， qì shì tóng yàng zhòng yào ， lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī ， pū tiān gài dì de líng yā xiàng zhe duì fāng lǒng zhào guò qù ， suī rán yǔ lí hé qī de shī wáng xiàng bǐ ， yī jiù shāo xùn yī chóu ， dàn liǎng zhě zhī jiān de chā jù ， yǐ dào le wēi hū qí wēi de jìng dì 。
林轩自然不金畏惧，童手过招，气势同样重要，林轩深深呼吸，铺天盖地的灵压向着对方笼罩过去，虽然与离合期的尸王相比，依旧稍逊一筹，但两者之间的差距，已到了微乎其微的境地。
Lin Xuan was naturally not afraid; in hand-to-hand combat,气势 (presence) was equally important. He took a deep breath and exuded overwhelming spiritual pressure towards the opponent. Although it was still slightly inferior to that of the Corpse King at Separation and Union stage, the gap between them had narrowed to an almost negligible degree.
suī rán zǎo zhī dào duì fāng bú shì pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， dàn zhēn jiàn shí lín xuān de líng yā hòu qīng yuán shī wáng de yǎn pí hái shì rěn bú zhù jí tiào jǐ xià 。
虽然早知道对方不是普通的修仙者，但真见识林轩的灵压后清源尸王的眼皮还是忍不住急跳几下。
Although he knew early on that his opponent was no ordinary cultivator, the Corpse King's eyelids twitched involuntarily upon experiencing Lin Xuan’s spiritual pressure.
“ bù cuò ， bù cuò ， guài bù dé wàn fú zōng de zhuī shā lìng duì nǐ méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， yuán lái nǐ xiǎo zi de fǎ lì jū rán dào le rú cǐ dì bù ， dàn nà yòu rú hé ， gé xià bì jìng hái zhǐ shì yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， yǐ wéi néng gòu yǔ běn wáng fàng duì me ？”
“不错，不错，怪不得万佛宗的追杀令对你没有效果，原来你小子的法力居然到了如此地步，但那又如何，阁下毕竟还只是元婴期修仙者，以为能够与本王放对么？”
"Not bad, not bad. No wonder the pursuit order from the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect didn't work on you; your magical power has truly reached this level. But what of it? You are still just an元婴 cultivator. Do you think you can match me?"
“ bù shì shì zěn me qīng chǔ ？” lín xuān lěng lěng de shuō 。
“不试试怎么清楚？”林轩冷冷的说。
"Only by trying will I know," Lin Xuan said coldly.
“ bù zhī sǐ huó 。” qīng yuán shī wáng dà nù ：“ jì rán nǐ xiǎng dào yīn cáo dì fǔ ， nà běn wáng jiù sòng nǐ yī chéng hǎo le 。”
“不知死活。”清源尸王大怒：“既然你想到阴曹地府，那本王就送你一程好了。”
"You're courting death." The Corpse King roared in anger: "Since you want to go to the underworld, this old king will see you off."
huà yīn wèi luò ， biàn yǒu gē bēng gē bēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， qīng yuán shī wáng zuǐ shàng suī rán shuō dé qīng sōng ， dàn yě zhī dào yǎn qián shào nián bù tóng yú yì bān de yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， bì xū quán lì yǐ fù 。
话音未落，便有咯嘣咯嘣的声音传入耳朵，清源尸王嘴上虽然说得轻松，但也知道眼前少年不同于一般的元婴期修仙者，必须全力以赴。
Before he could finish speaking, a series of cracking sounds filled the air. Although the Corpse King spoke lightly, he knew that the young man before him was unlike any ordinary late-stage元婴 cultivator; he had to give it his all.
yú shì tā xiǎn chū wàn nián shī wáng de yuán xíng lái le 。
于是他显出万年尸王的原形来了。
He revealed his true form as an ancient corpse king.
shēn xíng zhòu rán bá gāo le shù chǐ ， pí fū gān kū ， shuāng yǎn biàn chéng le xuè hóng zhī sè ， liáo yá wài tū ， shī qì gèng shì biàn dé yǒu ruò shí zhì bān de nóng chóu ， zhōng rén yù ǒu 。
身形骤然拔高了数尺，皮肤干枯，双眼变成了血红之色，獠牙外凸，尸气更是变得有若实质般的浓稠，中人欲呕。
His figure suddenly grew several feet taller, his skin withered, and his eyes turned blood-red. His fangs protruded, and the corpse energy became thick and tangible, nauseating to behold.
lín xuān méi tóu jǐn zhòu ， sú huà shuō ， xiān xià shǒu wéi qiáng ， hòu xià shǒu zāo yāng ， jì rán zhàn dòu bù kě bì miǎn ， tā zì rán bú huì shǎ shǎ de děng shī wáng biàn shēn wán 。
林轩眉头紧皱，俗话说，先下手为强，后下手遭殃，既然战斗不可避免，他自然不会傻傻的等尸王变身完。
Lin Xuan's brows furrowed; the saying went that "the early bird catches the worm." Since combat was inevitable, he would not wait for the Corpse King to complete his transformation.
xiù páo yī fú ， jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán yǐ fēi lüè ér chū ， zài shēn qián pán xuán fēi wǔ ， lín xuān èr huà bù shuō de yī dào fǎ jué dǎ shàng qù le 。
袖袍一拂，九天明月环已飞掠而出，在身前盘旋飞舞，林轩二话不说的一道法诀打上去了。
He waved his sleeve, and the Nine Heaven Moon Ring flew out, swirling before him. Without hesitation, Lin Xuan cast a spell.
wēng míng shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ ， yī dào bái méng méng de jù fēng píng kōng ér qǐ ， lián tiān jiē dì ， shì huǎn shí jí de xiàng zhe duì fāng yā le guò qù 。
嗡鸣声传入耳里，一道白蒙蒙的飓风凭空而起，连天接地，似缓实急的向着对方压了过去。
A whistling sound filled the air as a white maelstrom of wind appeared, pressing down from heaven to earth.
“ diāo chóng xiǎo jì ！”
“雕虫小技！”
"Trivial tricks!"
qīng yuán shī wáng què bù shǎn bù bì ， jiāng shī de ròu shēn běn jiù qiáng hèng yǐ jí ， jí biàn shì tóng jiē yāo zú yě yuǎn yuǎn méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ zhī xiāng bǐ 。
清源尸王却不闪不避，僵尸的肉身本就强横以极，即便是同阶妖族也远远没有办法与之相比。
The Corpse King did not dodge or avoid; even the zombie's body was incredibly robust, far surpassing that of any same-stage monster.
tā yī shēng dà hē ， liǎng zhǐ gān kū de shuāng shǒu zài shēn qián yī wǔ ， dùn shí wú shù mò lǜ sè de zhǎo máng fēi lüè ér chū 。
他一声大喝，两只干枯的双手在身前一舞，顿时无数墨绿色的爪芒飞掠而出。
With a loud roar, he waved his withered hands in front of him, releasing countless greenish-black claws.
pū pū pū de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tā yìng dǐng zhe jù fēng fēi guò lái le 。
噗噗噗的声音传入耳朵，他硬顶着飓风飞过来了。
Puff puff puff...
hǎo biāo hàn de jiā huo ！
好彪悍的家伙！
He pushed through the wind blades and approached Lin Xuan.
lín xuān biǎo miàn bù dòng shēng sè ， dàn xīn zhōng yě shì dà wèi jiè jù ， shēn shǒu zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yí miàn bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de dùn pái dùn shí fēi lüè chū lái 。
林轩表面不动声色，但心中也是大为戒惧，伸手在腰间一拍，一面巴掌大小的盾牌顿时飞掠出来。
What a formidable fellow!
Lin Xuan remained calm on the surface but was deeply wary. He reached into his waistband and a shield the size of a palm flew out.
As for Lin Xuan himself,
compared to the Scorpion Fairy, the Corpse King of Clear Origin was even stronger.
Before Lin Xuan's words had fully faded away, a flash of white light appeared before him. A beautiful young girl materialized in front of him.
Her lips were like pearls, her skin as smooth as water, and she had the beauty to captivate an entire nation.
Su Bang's eyes widened in surprise, though he was somewhat puzzled by this arrangement. Since Lin Xuan had made these plans, he naturally did not speak out.
Lin Xuan's body was enveloped in a green glow as he flew towards his left side.
The Scorpion Fairy was both shocked and angry. This guy was too arrogant; he treated her like nothing.
"Want to leave? First, you must leave your life behind."
Before she could finish speaking, her jade hand snapped out, releasing surging magical power that mixed with the surrounding primordial energy. Accompanied by a piercing howl, ghost heads began appearing before her.
Each had blood-red eyes and were shrouded in dark, sinister mist, exuding terrifying ferocity.
"Go!"
A murderous aura flashed across the Scorpion Fairy's beautiful face as she pointed at Lin Xuan's direction of flight.
All the ghastly heads let out piercing howls, their mouths chomping viciously as they lunged towards Lin Xuan’s flying light.
The attack from a veteran of the Separation and Union stage was naturally formidable. However, Lin Xuan paid no heed to it, knowing that Yue'er would protect him.
Sure enough, the young girl cried out in a delicate voice, raising her jade hand. A banner the size of a palm leaped from her palm.
With a gentle shake, this treasure expanded as if caught by the wind, enveloping Yue'er's slender figure with dark winds and ghostly energy. Its eerie nature was no less impressive than that of the Scorpion Fairy.
"Quickly."
The young girl pointed at Lin Xuan’s direction, and a series of whistling sounds filled the air. From the clouds formed by the Beast Soul Banner, dozens of wind blades shot out, each over ten feet long, with glaring black light—far from ordinary wind blade techniques.
Puff puff puff...
Some muffled sounds entered his ears as these wind blades, moving at incredible speed, intercepted the ghost heads in mid-air.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan’s figure flashed, and he unfolded Nine Heaven Microstep to stand before the Corpse King of Clear Origin.
As her husband, this old man was just as cruel and vicious. During his battle with Liu Ying, the Corpse King had not fully unleashed his power but instead toyed with her like a cat playing with a mouse.

The light curtains rapidly dimmed, but it was impossible to break through them in such a short time.
This slight delay allowed Lin Xuan to arrive between the two of them.
A hint of viciousness flashed across the Corpse King's face, but after a moment’s hesitation, he stopped his attack.
Liu Ying exhaled with relief and removed her light curtain as well.
"Disciple pays respects to Senior Auntie. Thank you for your assistance," she said, bowing, though her gaze was curious.
Liu Ying, confident in her magical power, was also far superior to ordinary late-stage元婴 cultivators. Could this unremarkable young man truly be stronger than herself?
Half-believing and half-doubting, but still showing the proper courtesies,
"Never mind the formalities. This old monster is left to me; you can focus on attacking that Scorpion Fairy," Lin Xuan said, his gaze sweeping over Liu Ying.
Although Yue'er's current powers had greatly improved, her combat experience was shallow. With two late-stage元婴 cultivators assisting from the side, Lin Xuan could feel more at ease.
"Yes, then please take care."
Liu Ying nodded and turned to fly towards the other side.
The Corpse King hesitated for a moment, his eyes flashing with不甘 (reluctance), but he did not intervene. With a powerful enemy watching him from the side, he focused on Lin Xuan.
His gaze swept over Lin Xuan, his expression turning extremely gloomy.
Lin Xuan was naturally not afraid; in hand-to-hand combat,气势 (presence) was equally important. He took a deep breath and exuded overwhelming spiritual pressure towards the opponent. Although it was still slightly inferior to that of the Corpse King at Separation and Union stage, the gap between them had narrowed to an almost negligible degree.
"Indeed."
Although he knew early on that his opponent was no ordinary cultivator, the Corpse King's eyelids twitched involuntarily upon experiencing Lin Xuan’s spiritual pressure.
"Not bad, not bad. No wonder the pursuit order from the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect didn't work on you; your magical power has truly reached this level. But what of it? You are still just an元婴 cultivator. Do you think you can match me?"
"Only by trying will I know," Lin Xuan said coldly.
"You're courting death." The Corpse King roared in anger: "Since you want to go to the underworld, this old king will see you off."
Before he could finish speaking, a series of cracking sounds filled the air. Although the Corpse King spoke lightly, he knew that the young man before him was unlike any ordinary late-stage元婴 cultivator; he had to give it his all.
He revealed his true form as an ancient corpse king.
His figure suddenly grew several feet taller, his skin withered, and his eyes turned blood-red. His fangs protruded, and the corpse energy became thick and tangible, nauseating to behold.
Lin Xuan's brows furrowed; the saying went that "the early bird catches the worm." Since combat was inevitable, he would not wait for the Corpse King to complete his transformation.
He waved his sleeve, and the Nine Heaven Moon Ring flew out, swirling before him. Without hesitation, Lin Xuan cast a spell.
Woo...
A whistling sound filled the air as a white maelstrom of wind appeared, pressing down from heaven to earth.
"Trivial tricks!"
The Corpse King did not dodge or avoid; even the zombie's body was incredibly robust, far surpassing that of any same-stage monster.
With a loud roar, he waved his withered hands in front of him, releasing countless greenish-black claws.
Puff puff puff...
He pushed through the wind blades and approached Lin Xuan.
What a formidable fellow!
Lin Xuan remained calm on the surface but was deeply wary. He reached into his waistband and a shield the size of a palm flew out.
