shé xiē xiān zi yì wài yǔn luò ． qīng yuán shī wáng jīng nù jiāo jí ． rán ér zài nán yǐ zhì jí de shén qíng lǐ ． què yòu yǐn yǐn liú lù chū yī sī jù yì 。
蛇蝎仙子意外陨落．清源尸王惊怒交集．然而在难以置集的神情里．却又隐隐流露出一丝惧意。
The Fairy of Serpents and Scorpions fell unexpectedly. Qingyuan Corpse King was shocked and angry, but in his expression of shock and anger, there was also a hint of fear.
nà yù rú yì wēi lì rú xiū shī wáng tóng yàng xīn lǐ yǒu shù ． jiù suàn shì duì shàng lí hé hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， yě néng dǐ dǎng piàn kè ． zěn me què mò míng de sǐ zài le yī yuán yīng hòu bèi de shǒu zhōng zhè qí zhōng ． jiū jìng yǐn cáng zhe shén me bù wéi rén zhī de mì mì ． nà guǐ shā yīn mò shì shén me dōng xī ？
那玉如意威力如休尸王同样心里有数．就算是对上离合后期的修仙者，也能抵挡片刻．怎么却莫名的死在了一元婴后辈的手中这其中．究竞隐藏着什么不为人知的秘密．那鬼煞阴墨是什么东西？
That Jade如意's power was as formidable as the Corpse King’s. Even against an advanced-stage cultivator, it could withstand for a moment. How did it end up dying at the hands of a mere one-elementary infant? What secrets lay hidden that were unknown to others? What was that ghostly煞 ink?
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ． nǎ yǒu shí jiān zhuī gēn jiū dǐ ， tā suī rán xiǎng wèi ài qī fù chóu ， dàn sú huà shuō ． shuāng quán nán dí sì shǒu 。
然而此时此刻．哪有时间追根究底，他虽然想为爱妻复仇，但俗话说．双拳难敌四手。
But there wasn't time now to delve into these matters. Although he wanted to avenge his beloved wife, as the saying goes, two fists can’t beat four.
lín xuān jiā shàng zhèn fǎ zhī lì ． tā yìng fù qǐ lái yǐ jiān sè wú bǐ ． hé kuàng páng biān yòu lái le yí gè néng gòu miè shā lí hé xiū shì de shào nǚ 。
林轩加上阵法之力．他应付起来已艰涩无比．何况旁边又来了一个能够灭杀离合修士的少女。
With the array’s power added to Lin Xuan's efforts, it was already extremely difficult for him to handle. Moreover, another young woman capable of annihilating an advanced-stage cultivator had just joined the fray.
quán héng lì bì ， shī wáng xīn zhōng yǐ méng shēng tuì yì 。
权衡利弊，尸王心中已萌生退意。
After weighing the pros and cons, the Corpse King had a hint of retreating in his mind.
rán ér lín xuān dòu fǎ jīng yàn hé děng fēng fù 、 zhè sān bǎi nián lái lì jīng xuè yǔ xīng fēng ． yǔ rén zhēng dòu wú shù ， jiàn duì shǒu yǎn guāng shǎn shuò ． yǐ cāi dào tā xīn zhōng de dǎ suàn le xiǎng zǒu ， nǎ yǒu nà me qīng sōng 。
然而林轩斗法经验何等丰富、这三百年来历经血雨腥风．与人争斗无数，见对手眼光闪烁．已猜到他心中的打算了想走，哪有那么轻松。
However, how much experience did Lin Xuan have in combat? Over three hundred years of bloodshed and strife, facing countless opponents. He could guess what was on the Corpse King's mind as he saw his gaze flicker. It wouldn’t be easy to escape now.
zhàn jú biàn huàn mò cè ， zì jǐ hǎo bù róng yì zhàn dào shàng fēng 、 dāng rán bù néng rèn yóu duì fāng táo tuō tòng dǎ luò shuǐ gǒu shì zuì jiā xuǎn zé 。
战局变幻莫测，自己好不容易占到上风、当然不能任由对方逃脱痛打落水狗是最佳选择。
The battle situation was unpredictable; he had just managed to gain an upper hand. The best choice would be to deal a final blow.
“ hē ，， lín xuān yī shēng nù hǒu ． hún shēn de fǎ lì rú jué dī zhī shuǐ yì bān ． fēng yōng xiàng shǒu zhōng de duǎn jiàn 。
“喝，，林轩一声怒吼．浑身的法力如决堤之水一般．蜂拥像手中的短剑。
"Ha!" Lin Xuan roared, and his mana surged like a flood into the short sword in his hand.
dùn shí xiān qì yīn yūn ． fú wén shǎn shuò ， tōng tiān líng bǎo kě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ． yǒu rú wú dǐ dòng yì bān ， zhuǎn yǎn jiù jiāng lín xuān de fǎ lì tūn shì le dà bàn 。
顿时仙气氤氲．符文闪烁，通天灵宝可是非同小可．有如无底洞一般，转眼就将林轩的法力吞噬了大半。
Instantly, the air was suffused with divine energy, and runes flashed. This was no ordinary divine treasure; it devoured half of Lin Xuan's mana as if it were an endless abyss.
yī gǔ páng bó de wēi yā cháo zhe sì zhōu kuò sàn kāi lái ……
一股磅礴的威压朝着四周扩散开来……
A powerful aura spread outwards...
bǎi yú zhàng yuǎn chù ． qīng yuán shī wáng jiàn le cǐ mù ， liǎn sè biàn dé yuè fā de yīn chén le cǐ shí bù zǒu shuō bù dìng zì jǐ yě huì yǔn luò ， yuè ér yǐ jīng gǎn guò lái liǎo dàng duàn bù duàn fǎn shòu qí luàn ． bì xū zǎo zuò jué duàn 。
百余丈远处．清源尸王见了此幕，脸色变得越发的阴沉了此时不走说不定自己也会陨落，月儿已经赶过来了当断不断反受其乱．必须早做决断。
Over a hundred feet away, Qingyuan Corpse King saw this scene and his face turned even more grim. If he didn't leave now, he might fall here too. Mo'er was already catching up; indecision could lead to disaster. He had to make a decision quickly.
liǎn shàng lì qì shǎn guò ． zhè wàn nián shī wáng yǒu xiē hún zhuó de shuāng yǎn zhōng yú biàn dé qīng míng qǐ lái le 。
脸上戾气闪过．这万年尸王有些浑浊的双眼终于变得清明起来了。
A sinister aura flashed across his face as the foggy eyes of this ten-thousand-year-old Corpse King finally cleared.
shēn chū shǒu lái ， hěn hěn zài zì jǐ xiōng kǒu yī pāi ． tā shēn tǐ zhōu wéi de shī qì dùn shí fān yǒng qǐ lái 。
伸出手来，狠狠在自己胸口一拍．他身体周围的尸气顿时翻涌起来。
He reached out and slapped his chest hard. The corpse energy around him surged.
yuán běn shì cāng bái zhī sè ． jiàn jiàn de ． yán sè què yuè lái yuè shēn suì le ． zuì hòu qī hēi rú mò 。 shǎn shuò zhe guǐ yì de guāng zé 。
原本是苍白之色．渐渐的．颜色却越来越深邃了．最后漆黑如墨。闪烁着诡异的光泽。
Initially pale, it gradually darkened until it was pitch black, with an eerie glow.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō 、 suī rán bù zhī dào zhè lǎo guài wù xiǎng yào zuò shén me ． dàn zì rán bú huì ràng tā qīng sōng shī fǎ de 。
林轩瞳孔微缩、虽然不知道这老怪物想要做什么．但自然不会让他轻松施法的。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted; though he didn't know what the old monster intended, he wouldn’t let him easily cast spells.
pò dí jiù zài cǐ kè ！
破敌就在此刻！
Defeat was now!
lín xuān yòu shǒu hěn hěn xiàng xià huī luò 。
林轩右手狠狠向下挥落。
Lin Xuan’s right hand swung down fiercely.
wú shēng wú xī ， yī dào shí yú zhàng zhǎng de jiàn máng chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ cóng guī mó lái shuō ， bǐ mó yuán jiàn lì cì gōng jī dōu yào xùn sè ． dàn zhè yī jiàn wēi lì rú hé ．
无声无息，一道十余丈长的剑芒出现在了视线里从规模来说，比魔缘剑历次攻击都要逊色．但这一剑威力如何．
Silently, a sword beam over ten feet long appeared in his vision. Although its scale wasn't as impressive as the previous attacks of Magic缘 Sword, how powerful was this strike?
míng yǎn rén dōu néng kàn qīng chǔ 。
明眼人都能看清楚。
The keen eyes could see clearly.
nà jiàn máng yín liàng cì mù ． bèi dòu dà de fú wén suǒ bāo guǒ ． xuán zhuǎn shǎn shuò ， jiàn wèi zhì ． nà xiōng lì zhī qì jiù yǐ pū tiān gài dì ， yǒu ruò cháo xī ， lìng rén xīn jīng dǎn zhàn wú bǐ 。
那剑芒银亮刺目．被斗大的符文所包裹．旋转闪烁，剑未至．那凶戾之气就已铺天盖地，有若潮汐，令人心惊胆战无比。
That silver sword beam, encased by large runes, spun and flickered. Even before it reached, the ferocious aura spread like a tidal wave, terrifying to behold.
shī wáng xīn zhōng hài rán yǐ jí ， tā suī rán yě shǐ yòng le dú chuán mì shù ． dàn néng fǒu dǐ dǎng zhù zhè yàng de gōng jī yě shì bàn diǎn bǎ wò yě wú 。
尸王心中骇然以极，他虽然也使用了独传秘术．但能否抵挡住这样的攻击也是半点把握也无。
The Corpse King was shocked. Although he used his secret technique, he had no certainty that he could withstand such an attack.
rán ér shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù ， zhǐ yǒu yìng zhe tóu pí shàng le 。
然而事情到了这一步，只有硬着头皮上了。
But now, there was only one option: to face it head-on.
zhǐ jiàn tā liǎng zhǐ lì zhuǎ shēn chū ． zài bàn kōng zhōng luàn wǔ 。
只见他两只利爪伸出．在半空中乱舞。
He extended his claws and waved them wildly in mid-air. On the surface, they looked chaotic, but they followed some mysterious pattern, accompanied by ancient incantations.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn zá luàn yǐ jí ， rán ér què àn hé mǒu zhǒng xuán mì ． tóng shí yǒu gǔ piáo de zhòu yǔ chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
表面上看杂乱以极，然而却暗合某种玄秘．同时有古朴的咒语传入耳朵里。
"Quickly."
“ jí 。”
“疾。”
Then, this old monster pointed forward with a finger.
suí hòu zhè lǎo guài wù xiàng qián yì diǎn zhǐ 。
随后这老怪物向前一点指。
The pitch-black corpse fog surged, the dark mist forming a vortex like a shield in front of the Corpse King.
nà qī hēi de shī wù dùn shí fān yǒng qǐ lái ， yīn qì rú mò ． xíng chéng le yí gè xuán wō ． xiàng dùn pái yī yàng de dàng zài shī wáng de shēn qián le 。
那漆黑的尸雾顿时翻涌起来，阴气如墨．形成了一个旋涡．像盾牌一样的档在尸王的身前了。
The sword beam accelerated and collided with the vortex. The deafening impact echoed through the air. Compared to clear skies and thunder, sea waves crashing against mountains, this was beyond mere comparison.
jiàn máng shì huǎn shí jí ， bǎi zhàng de jù lí bù guò zhuǎn shùn ér yǐ ． hěn kuài jiù yǔ shī qì xíng chéng de xuán wō zhuàng zài le yì qǐ 。
剑芒似缓实急，百丈的距离不过转瞬而已．很快就与尸气形成的漩涡撞在了一起。
Sword beam and corpse energy intertwined, causing gusts of wind to arise as if they were in a stalemate.
jīng tiān dòng dì de zhuàng jī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shén me jīng tiān pī léi ， hǎi xiào shān bēng de shēng shì yǔ qí xiāng bǐ ． dōu bù guò shì fú yún ér yǐ 。
惊天动地的撞击声传入耳朵，什么睛天霹雷，海啸山崩的声势与其相比．都不过是浮云而已。
But Qingyuan Corpse King had no time to match Lin Xuan in mana expenditure.
jiàn máng shī qì ， hù xiāng jiāo zhī ， yī gǔ gǔ lǐ fēng píng kōng ér qǐ ． sì hū chéng xiàn chū le xiāng chí 。
剑芒尸气，互相交织，一股股里风凭空而起．似乎呈现出了相持。
Not only did he find the young man hard to deal with but his chances of victory were slim. Moreover, their assessment of the Nine Palaces Needle Array was incorrect; they thought it would just be troublesome. Even if they succeeded, it wouldn’t threaten them at this stage. However, things turned out differently from what they had anticipated. Just thinking about those countless red sword beams made him shudder. If they lasted longer… Fortunately, attacks required buildup, and the sword beams came in waves, not continuously.
rán ér qīng yuán shī wáng kě méi yǒu shí jiān yǔ lín xuān zài zhè lǐ pīn fǎ lì 。
然而清源尸王可没有时间与林轩在这里拼法力。
But a new wave of sword beams appeared on the horizon, still numbering in the tens of thousands.
qiě bù shuō zhè xiǎo zi nán yǐ duì fù 、 tā méi yǒu duō shǎo bì shèng bǎ wò ． guān jiàn zhè cì jìn gōng tiān yá hǎi gé ， tā men duì jiǔ gōng xū jiān jiàn zhèn gū jì bù zú ． yǐ wéi zhǐ shì nán chán bà le jiù suàn kāi qǐ chéng gōng ， yě wēi xié bù liǎo tā men zhè ge děng jiē de xiū xiān zhě ． rán ér qíng kuàng què yǔ yù xiǎng de wán quán bù tóng ， xiǎng xiǎng gāng cái nà shǔ yǐ wàn jì de hóng sè jiàn qì ． shī wáng jiù gǎn jué hún shēn wú guó 。 jiǎ rú chí xù de shí jiān zài zhǎng yī xiē …“ hǎo zài gōng jī xū yào xù shì ． zhè jiàn qì shì yī bō yī bō dì ， bìng bù néng yì zhí jiāng dú gōng jī 。
且不说这小子难以对付、他没有多少必胜把握．关键这次进攻天涯海阁，他们对九宫须尖剑阵估计不足．以为只是难缠罢了就算开启成功，也威胁不了他们这个等阶的修仙者．然而情况却与预想的完全不同，想想刚才那数以万计的红色剑气．尸王就感觉浑身无国。假如持续的时间再长一些…“好在攻击需要蓄势．这剑气是一拨一拨地，并不能一直将读攻击。
Qingyuan Corpse King narrowed his eyes as he suddenly slapped his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood that entered the fog before him.
dàn xiàn zài 、 xīn de yī bō jiàn qì yòu chū xiàn zài le yuǎn fāng tiān jì ． yī jiù shì yǐ shí wàn jì 。
但现在、新的一拨剑气又出现在了远方天际．依旧是以十万计。
A whistling sound filled the air; the corpse fog turned crimson. The ferocious light grew intense, and it managed to block Magic缘 Sword’s attacks. Joy flashed in the old monster's eyes as he withdrew without delay, his body emitting dark energy.
qīng yuán shī wáng mī le mī yǎn ． tū rán shēn chū shǒu lái ， hěn mìng zài xiōng kǒu yī pāi ， yī kǒu jīng xuè cóng tā zuǐ bā lǐ pēn tǔ chū lái 。
清源尸王眯了眯眼．突然伸出手来，狠命在胸口一拍，一口精血从他嘴巴里喷吐出来。
The process seemed simple, but he had used all his strength and several techniques that severely damaged his essence. After all, he knew he couldn’t escape unscathed. As long as he could save his life, this cost was worth it.
jìn rù shēn qián de shī wù lǐ miàn 。
进入身前的尸雾里面。
Given the restrictions of the forbidden zone, facing Lin Xuan already felt like a struggle. With that mysterious young woman, he would have no place to die.
wū wū de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà shī wù dùn shí biàn chéng le xuè hóng zhī sè ． xiōng guāng dà zuò ， yī shí piàn kè ， jìng rán zhǐ zhù mó yuán jiàn de gōng jī le lǎo guài wù yǎn zhōng liú lù chū dà xǐ guò wàng zhī sè ． èr huà bù shuō ． hún shēn yīn qì yī shǎn ． jiù chōu shēn xiàng hòu tuì qù le 。
呜呜的声音传入耳朵，那尸雾顿时变成了血红之色．凶光大做，一时片刻，竟然指住魔缘剑的攻击了老怪物眼中流露出大喜过望之色．二话不说．浑身阴气一闪．就抽身向后退去了。
He had to leave before Mo'er acted.
cǐ guò chéng kàn shì bìng bù fán fù ， qí shí tā yǐ shǐ jǐn hún shēn xiè shù ． bìng dòng yòng le shù zhǒng dà shāng yuán qì de mì shù ， bì jìng cǐ shí cǐ kè ． lǎo guài wù yě míng bái bù kě néng háo fā wú shāng de táo tuō ． zhǐ yào néng jiāng xiǎo mìng bǎo zhù ， zhè diǎn dài jià jué duì zhí de 。
此过程看似并不繁复，其实他已使尽浑身解数．并动用了数种大伤元气的秘术，毕竞此时此刻．老怪物也明白不可能毫发无伤的逃脱．只要能将小命保住，这点代价绝对值得。
His plan seemed good, but Lin Xuan wouldn’t let him succeed.
bì jìng shēn chù jìn zhì zhī zhōng ， duì shàng lín xuān tā yǐ pǒ gǎn chī lì ． zài jiā shàng nà shén mì shào nǚ 。 zì jǐ qǐ bù shì sǐ wú zàng shēn zhī dì 。
毕竟身处禁制之中，对上林轩他已颇感吃力．再加上那神秘少女。自己岂不是死无葬身之地。
Although Magic缘 Sword’s attack was blocked, Lin Xuan had other tricks up his sleeve. Seeing the Corpse King retreat, Lin Xuan raised his head and emitted a clear sound: "Weng."
yào gǎn zài yuè ér chū shǒu yǐ qián ． lí kāi zhè shì fēi zhī dì 。
要赶在月儿出手以前．离开这是非之地。
An odd noise echoed in the air as countless demonic insects appeared on Qingyuan Corpse King's path—these were the hidden Yu Luo bees.
rán ér dǎ suàn bù cuò ． lín xuān kě bù huì ràng qí chèn xīn rú yì de 。
然而打算不错．林轩可不会让其称心如意的。
The old monster was taken aback but quickly regained composure after recognizing the spirit insects before him.
jǐn guǎn mó yuán jiàn bèi dǎng zhù ， dàn lín xuān zǎo jiù liú xià le qí yú de hòu shǒu jiàn shī wáng chōu shēn tuì hòu ， lín xuān yáng qǐ tóu ． kǒu zhōng yī shēng qīng míng fā chū “ wēng 。”
尽管魔缘剑被挡住，但林轩早就留下了其余的后手见尸王抽身退后，林轩扬起头．口中一声清鸣发出“嗡。”
Recognizing the Yu Luo bees, he knew they were fierce in life and death. However, these were immature forms.
gǔ guài de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， qīng yuán shī wáng de tuì lù shàng ， jìng rán fú xiàn chū shǔ yǐ wàn jì de mó chóng 、 shì shì xiān qián fú zài yī páng de yù luó fēng 。
古怪的声音传入耳朵，清源尸王的退路上，竞然浮现出数以万计的魔虫、是事先潜伏在一旁的玉罗蜂。
With a wave of his sleeve, vast clouds of corpse fog emerged, flickering into countless needle-shaped talismans.
lǎo guài wù xiān shì yī jú ， bù guò kàn qīng chǔ kào miàn qián lù de líng chóng yǐ hòu ． liǎn shàng de jīng jù sè què xùn sù tuì qù le 。
老怪物先是一局，不过看清楚靠面前路的灵虫以后．脸上的惊惧色却迅速退去了。
In the natural world, everything had its counterpart; with so many spirit insects, flying needles posed a significant threat. Although Qingyuan Corpse King hadn’t refined them, his divine power allowed him to transform and create some flying needle talismans.
yǐ tā jiàn shí guǎng bó ， yù luó fēng zì rán néng gòu rèn chū ． bù guò zhè zhǒng dōng xī suī shì mán huāng qí chóng ． dàn yǎn qián de jǐn jǐn shì yī xiē wèi chéng shú tǐ bà le 。
以他见识广博，玉罗蜂自然能够认出．不过这种东西虽是蛮荒奇虫．但眼前的仅仅是一些未成熟体罢了。
With a roar, the old monster's voice echoed as whistling sounds filled the air. The flying needles clashed with the spirit insects.
xiù páo yī fú 、 dà piàn de shī wù fēng yōng ér chū ， lüè yī shǎn shuò ． jiù biàn huà chū wú shù fēi zhēn xíng zhuàng de fǎ bǎo lái le 。
袖袍一拂、大片的尸雾蜂拥而出，略一闪烁．就变化出无数飞针形状的法宝来了。
Seeing this, Lin Xuan remained unperturbed, uttering a single word: "Break!"
tiān dì wàn wù ． xiāng shēng xiāng kè líng chóng shù liàng zhòng duō ． zuì pà de jiù shì fēi zhēn xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù ． qīng yuán shī wáng suī méi yǒu liàn guò dàn yǐ tā de shén tōng ． yòng huà xíng zhī shù ． biàn huàn chū yī xiē fēi zhēn fǎ bǎo bìng bù suàn nán de 。 cái shì yìng dào lǐ 。
天地万物．相生相克灵虫数量众多．最怕的就是飞针形状的宝物．清源尸王虽没有炼过但以他的神通．用化形之术．变幻出一些飞针法宝并不算难的。才是硬道理。
As his divine consciousness moved, something unexpected happened. Bangs echoed incessantly, like beans being fried. Before the flying needles could reach their targets, the Yu Luo bees began to explode on their own.
qù lǎo guài wù yī shēng nù hè ． suí hòu biàn yǒu chī chī de pò kōng zhī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ． nà xiē fēi zhēn xiàng zhe qián fāng de líng chóng yíng shàng qù le 。
去老怪物一声怒喝．随后便有嗤嗤的破空之声传入耳朵．那些飞针向着前方的灵虫迎上去了。
A strange and eerie stench filled the area as the blood of thousands of Yu Luo bees covered several miles. Despite each bee only being the size of a baby’s fist, together they still obscured the sky.
lín xuān jiàn le ， liǎn shàng què yī jiù shì yī fù bù huāng bù máng zhī sè ． qīng tǔ yī shēng “ pò ！、
林轩见了，脸上却依旧是一副不慌不忙之色．轻吐一声“破！、
These spirit insects were not only fierce in life but also had strong corrosive effects after death. The Corpse King was caught off guard and drenched by the liquid from above.
The Fairy of Serpents and Scorpions fell unexpectedly. Qingyuan Corpse King was shocked and angry, but in his expression of shock and anger, there was also a hint of fear.
That Jade如意's power was as formidable as the Corpse King’s. Even against an advanced-stage cultivator, it could withstand for a moment. How did it end up dying at the hands of a mere one-elementary infant? What secrets lay hidden that were unknown to others? What was that ghostly煞 ink?
But there wasn't time now to delve into these matters. Although he wanted to avenge his beloved wife, as the saying goes, two fists can’t beat four.

The battle situation was unpredictable; he had just managed to gain an upper hand. The best choice would be to deal a final blow.
"Ha!" Lin Xuan roared, and his mana surged like a flood into the short sword in his hand.
Instantly, the air was suffused with divine energy, and runes flashed. This was no ordinary divine treasure; it devoured half of Lin Xuan's mana as if it were an endless abyss.
A powerful aura spread outwards...
Over a hundred feet away, Qingyuan Corpse King saw this scene and his face turned even more grim. If he didn't leave now, he might fall here too. Mo'er was already catching up; indecision could lead to disaster. He had to make a decision quickly.
A sinister aura flashed across his face as the foggy eyes of this ten-thousand-year-old Corpse King finally cleared.

Initially pale, it gradually darkened until it was pitch black, with an eerie glow.
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted; though he didn't know what the old monster intended, he wouldn’t let him easily cast spells.
Defeat was now!
Lin Xuan’s right hand swung down fiercely.
Silently, a sword beam over ten feet long appeared in his vision. Although its scale wasn't as impressive as the previous attacks of Magic缘 Sword, how powerful was this strike?

As his divine consciousness moved, something unexpected happened. Bangs echoed incessantly, like beans being fried. Before the flying needles could reach their targets, the Yu Luo bees began to explode on their own.
A strange and eerie stench filled the area as the blood of thousands of Yu Luo bees covered several miles. Despite each bee only being the size of a baby’s fist, together they still obscured the sky.
These spirit insects were not only fierce in life but also had strong corrosive effects after death. The Corpse King was caught off guard and drenched by the liquid from above.
