第一千回百二十三章幻昊天火的信人威力
Chapter 1023 - The Power of the Illusory Vast Heaven Fire's Messenger
yuè ér diǎn diǎn tóu ， zhè yí jì què shí gǔ lǎo yǐ jí ， ér qiě chù chù tòu zhe guǐ yì shēn xī 。[]
月儿点点头，这遗迹确实古老以极，而且处处透着诡异砷息。[]
Moon nodded. This ancient relic indeed exuded a strange aura, filled with inexplicable anomalies.
bù guò yì gāo rén dǎn dà ， zhǔ pú èr rén ， dào yě bìng méi yǒu rèn hé wèi jù zhī yì ， zhǐ shì yī xīn xiǎng yào jiě kāi yōu zhōu zhī mì 。
不过艺高人胆大，主仆二人，倒也并没有任何畏惧之意，只是一心想要解开幽州之秘。
However, boldness comes from skill, and neither master nor servant showed any fear as they continued on their quest to uncover the secrets of Youzhou.
shén shí suī rán bèi yā zhì ， bù guò lín xuān yī jiù yōng yǒu jí wéi mǐn ruì de liù shí ， mù guāng sǎo guò ， dòng ruò míng huǒ ， fāng yuán qiān zhàng yǐ nèi ， jiù suàn shì yǒu mǎ yǐ pá dòng ， yě xiū xiǎng lìn guò tā de ěr duǒ 。
神识虽然被压制，不过林轩依旧拥有极为敏锐的六识，目光扫过，洞若明火，方圆千丈以内，就算是有蚂蚁爬动，也休想膦过他的耳朵。
Though his divine sense was suppressed, Lin Xuan still possessed an extremely keen sixth sense. His gaze swept over the area, revealing everything in clear detail. Even the tiniest movements, like ants crawling, would not escape his notice within a thousand feet.
yòu zǒu piàn kè ， què yī rán méi yǒu shén me shōu huò ， zhèng dāng lín xuān gǎn jué yǒu xiē shī wàng de shí hòu ， kōng qì zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu bào liè de shēng yīn chuán lái le sháo
又走片刻，却依然没有什么收获，正当林轩感觉有些失望的时候，空气中隐隐有爆裂的声音传来了勺
After walking for some time, they found no significant leads. Just as Lin Xuan felt disappointed, he heard a faint cracking sound from the air.
nán dào shuō ……
难道说……
Could it be...
lín xuān shén sè yī dòng ， zài chéng wài de shí hòu ， tā kě shì céng xiàn yī xiù qiǎo de jiǎo yìn lái de 。
林轩神色一动，在城外的时候，他可是曾现一秀巧的脚印来的。
Recalling the elegant footprints he had seen outside the city, Lin Xuan took a deep breath and emitted an ethereal green glow. His figure became almost invisible, like a ghost drifting forward.
lín xuān xī le kǒu qì ， hún shēn qīng guāng liú lí ， suí hòu shēn yǐng biàn dé ruò yǒu ruò wú ， rú yī lǚ yōu hún bān xiàng qián piāo qù 。
林轩吸了口气，浑身青光琉璃，随后身影变得若有若无，如一缕幽魂般向前飘去。
There were no obstacles along the way, and they quickly arrived in just ten minutes.
yī lù bìng méi yǒu guǐ jiàn zǔ gé ， duǎn duǎn shí tǔn lǐ hěn kuài jiù dào le 。
一路并没有晷见阻隔，短短十氽里很快就到了。
The remains of walls had diminished significantly, revealing a large open space. This must be the center of the ruined city.
qián miàn de cán yuán duàn bì shǎo le hěn duō ， yī dà piàn kòng dì yìng rù yǎn lián lǐ ， cǐ dì yīng gāi shì nà fèi xū zhī chéng de zhōng xīn chù 。
前面的残垣断壁少了很多，一大片空地映入眼帘里，此地应该是那废墟之城的中心处。
Boom!
hōng lōng lóng !
轰隆隆!
The cracking sound grew clearer as two figures engaged in intense combat before his eyes.
bào liè shēng biàn dé qīng xī rù ěr ， zhǐ jiàn yǎn qián líng guāng shǎn shuò ， liǎng gè shēn yǐng zhèng jī liè de dòu fǎ zhe 。
爆裂声变得清晰入耳，只见眼前灵光闪烁，两个身影正激烈的斗法着。
Lin Xuan's gaze sharpened, and his expression changed. He hadn't expected to meet this woman here again, despite having concerns about her.
lín xuān mù guāng yī níng ， suí hòu liǎn sè jiù biàn le ， jǐn guǎn xīn zhōng yǒu qiān guà dān yōu ， dàn zuò mèng yě méi xiǎng guò huì yǔ cǐ nǚ zài zhè lǐ chóng féng 。
林轩目光一凝，随后脸色就变了，尽管心中有牵挂担忧，但做梦也没想过会与此女在这里重逢。
That face was breathtakingly beautiful, beyond description with words.
nà shì zěn yàng yī zhāng qīng guó qīng chéng de miàn kǒng 。
那是怎样一张倾国倾城的面孔。
Over a hundred years had passed since their last meeting.
yòng jué měi de yán yǔ dōu wú fǎ xíng róng 。
用绝美的言语都无法形容。
She remained as lovely as ever, her youth not diminished but enhanced by time. Her eyes, eyebrows, nose, and lips were all captivating in their perfection.
yì bǎi duō nián wèi jiàn le 。
一百多年未见了。
The Fairy of the Clouds, though less stunning than Moon, was no less beautiful. They first met here in the stream, two young cultivators facing off against the Fire Spirit Sect's sect leader without fear. Now, fate had brought them together again in this ancient ruin.
jiā rén qīng lì rú xī ， fāng huá bù jǐn bìng wèi lǎo qù ， fǎn ér yuè de měi lì 。
佳人清丽如昔，芳华不仅并未老去，反而越的美丽。
Was it mere coincidence or a divine will guiding their paths?
nà yǎn 、 nà méi 、 nà bí ， hái yǒu yīng táo xiǎo zuǐ ， wǔ guān shēn cái ， wú bù lìng rén pēng rán dòng
那眼、那眉、那鼻，还有樱桃小嘴，五官身材，无不令人怦然动
Lin Xuan's gaze swept over Qin Yan's delicate figure. Her situation was perilous indeed.
&#o39;f
&#o39;f
Facing her was a bone demon.
yún zhōng xiān zi ， suī rán méi yǒu yàn jué sān jiè de měi lì ， dàn yǔ cǐ shí de yuè ér xiāng bǐ 「 què yě shì bù chěng duō ràng dì 。
云中仙子，虽然没有艳绝三界的美丽，但与此时的月儿相比「却也是不逞多让地。
Bone demons were rare compared to zombies, but each one possessed terrifying power. This one, clearly not human, stood at seven or eight zhang tall, with an ominous blue glow in its hollow eyes and sharp bone blades extending from its knees and elbows.
jì de liǎng rén dì yī cì xiāng yù ， jiù shì zài zhè xī yuè jiàn lǐ 。
记得两人第一次相遇，就是在这溪跃涧里。
Surrounded by dark winds, the bone demon's presence was formidable, comparable even to a late-stage婴灵 cultivator.
liǎng míng líng dòng qī de xiǎo xiū xiān zhě ， miàn duì huǒ líng mén zhǎng mén ， què wú suǒ wèi jù ， shí yí shì yì ， jū rán yòu zài tóng yī dì fāng de shàng gǔ yí jì xiāng yù 。
两名灵动期的小修仙者，面对火灵门掌门，却无所畏惧，时移世易，居然又在同一地方的上古遗迹相遇。
No wonder Qin Yan struggled. Though she had advanced to mid-stage婴灵, her strength still fell short of this bone demon.
shì jī yuán qiǎo hé 。
是机缘巧合。
Despite this, Qin Yan showed no signs of distress. Her movements were graceful and fluid, almost like dancing rather than fighting. The Nine Heavens Ice Fire Cloak was soft yet agile, resembling a dragon in flight as it danced around them with incredible skill.
hái shì míng míng zhōng zì yǒu tiān yì 。
还是冥冥中自有天意。
But appearances could be deceiving. This woman's situation was dire.
lín xuān de mù guāng sǎo guò qín yán de jiāo qū ， cǐ shí tā de xíng shì yǐ wēi xiǎn yǐ jí 。
林轩的目光扫过秦妍的娇躯，此时她的形势已危险以极。
The difference between mid-stage婴灵 and late-stage婴灵 was significant. Qin Yan was merely holding on by sheer willpower.
yǔ tā fàng duì de shì yī gǔ mó 。
与她放对的是一骨魔。
It was fate that brought Lin Xuan here at this moment, or else the Fairy of the Clouds might have been left to her own devices with a wandering spirit. Bone demons cared neither for beauty nor mercy.
suǒ wèi gǔ mó ， shì yǔ jiāng shī xiāng duì yīng 。
所谓骨魔，是与僵尸相对应。
"Ah!"
hòu zhě shì shī tǐ tōng líng ， gǔ mó zé shì hái gǔ xī shōu tiān dì yuán qì ， cóng ér líng zhì kāi qǐ 。
后者是尸体通灵，骨魔则是骸骨吸收天地元气，从而灵智开启。
A cry echoed as the bone demon's left arm swung down. Qin Yan, though agile, couldn't completely dodge it and was hit by the residual force.
yǔ jiāng shī xiāng bǐ ， gǔ mó de shù liàng hái yào xī shǎo yǐ jí ， dàn měi yí gè ， dōu yōng yǒu lìng rén jīng hài de dà wēi lì 。
与僵尸相比，骨魔的数量还要稀少以极，但每一个，都拥有令人惊骇的大威力。
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and activated the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield just in time.
xiàng yǎn qián zhè ge ， bìng fēi rén lèi de yí gǔ ， ér míng xiǎn shì shén me mó guài yāo wù ， zú yǒu qī bā zhàng gāo ， xíng mào fēi cháng xiōng è ， liǎng gè kōng dòng de yǎn kuàng zhōng ， shǎn dòng zhe yōu lán sè de guǐ huǒ 。
像眼前这个，并非人类的遗骨，而明显是什么魔怪妖物，足有七八丈高，形貌非常凶恶，两个空洞的眼眶中，闪动着幽蓝色的鬼火。
Though her defense wasn't broken, the impact would still cause injuries. She retreated backward.
gǔ bìng méi yǒu shǐ yòng shén me bīng qì bǎo wù ， dàn xī gài shǒu zhǒu ， dōu yǒu zhàng xǔ zhǎng de gǔ rèn shēn chū 。
牯并没有使用什么兵器宝物，但膝盖手肘，都有丈许长的骨刃伸出。
Boom!
lán yōu yōu de ， yī kàn jiù wèi yǒu jù dú 。
蓝幽幽的，一看就喂有剧毒。
Rocks fell like rain as she collided with many crumbling walls.
gǔ mó de sì zhōu ， bèi yīn fēng suǒ bāo guǒ ， wēi yā zhī qiáng ， bǐ zhī yuán yīng hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ，
骨魔的四周，被阴风所包裹，威压之强，比之元婴后期的修仙者，
The bone demon showed no intention of stopping. Despite not understanding the concept of a double-edged sword, its hatred for life made it relentless until the enemy was dead.
yě bù xùn sè ，
也不逊色，
Though this monster's size dwarfed that of humans, its movements were as nimble as those of an ape. Black light flashed across its body before it transformed into a black streak and flew forward.
yě nán guài qín yán dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， tā suī rán jìn jiē dào le yuán yīng zhōng qī ， dàn shí lì yǔ zhè gǔ mó xiāng bǐ ， hái shì yǒu zhe fēi cháng míng xiǎn de chā jù 。
也难怪秦妍抵挡不住，她虽然进阶到了元婴中期，但实力与这骨魔相比，还是有着非常明显的差距。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. As a Separation Period cultivator, he could see everything clearly.
dàn jí biàn rú cǐ ， qín yán yī jiù méi yǒu xiǎn chū rèn hé láng bèi zhī sè ， dòng zuò bù dài rèn hé yī sī rén jiān yān huǒ ， qiàn shǒu ruò lán ， biàn huà wú duān ， yǔ qí shuō shì dà zhàn ， dào bù rú jiǎng chéng xiàng shì tiào wǔ yì bān
但即便如此，秦妍依旧没有显出任何狼狈之色，动作不带任何一丝人间烟火，纤手若兰，变化无端，与其说是大战，倒不如讲成像是跳舞一般
This attack was beyond Qin Yan's ability to avoid. How cunning the bone demon! A trace of rage crossed Lin Xuan's face as he wouldn't stand by idly. His sleeve fluttered, and an egg-sized flame appeared. It pulsed with three colors, beautiful yet dangerous.
jiǔ tiān bīng huǒ líng róu ruò wú gǔ ， què yòu jiàn shì jiāo lóng ， shàng xià fēi wǔ ， xuán miào dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
九天冰火绫柔若无骨，却又健似蛟龙，上下飞舞，玄妙到无以复加的地步。
The previous碧幻幽火 had been incredibly powerful, but this Illusory Vast Heaven Fire was far beyond the abilities of ordinary human realms.
dàn chǎng miàn hǎo kàn shì méi yòng de ， cǐ nǚ qí shí yǐ jí jí kě wēi le 。
但场面好看是没用的，此女其实已岌岌可危了。
With enough quantity, Lin Xuan would dare challenge the Pavilion of the Watchful Eye.
yuán yīng zhōng qī yǔ hòu qī ， biǎo miàn suī rán zhǐ xiāng chà yí gè děng jí ， dàn qí shí què bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。
元婴中期与后期，表面虽然只相差一个等级，但其实却不可同日而语。
Though only a small egg-sized flame, it was more than sufficient to deal with an late-stage婴灵 cultivator.
qín yán bù guò shì kǔ kǔ zhī chēng ér yǐ 。
秦妍不过是苦苦支撑而已。
Silently and swiftly, the flame flew at incredible speed. The bone demon hadn't reached its target before being intercepted.
yě shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， ruò fēi lín xuān gāng hǎo lái dào cǐ chù ， yún zhōng xiān zi shuō bù dìng jiù zhēn yào yǔ gū hún yě guǐ wèi bàn le ， gǔ mó kě bù dǒng de měi chǒu ， gèng méi yǒu lián xiāng xī yù yī shuō 。
也是机缘巧合，若非林轩刚好来到此处，云中仙子说不定就真要与孤魂野鬼为伴了，骨魔可不懂得美丑，更没有怜香惜玉一说。
A sharp "sizzle" sounded as the once arrogant bone demon froze, transforming into a massive ice sculpture suspended in mid-air.
“ a !”
“啊!”
But this was far from over. Its pale white bones suddenly turned pitch black.
yī shēng jīng hū chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì gǔ mó zuǒ bì huī luò ， hǎo zài qín yán dòng zuò qīng líng piāo hū ， dàn yī zán méi néng wán quán duǒ guò ， bèi yú lì sǎo zhōng 。
一声惊呼传入耳朵，却是古魔左臂挥落，好在秦妍动作轻灵飘忽，但依咱没能完全躲过，被余力扫中。
The Illusory Vast Heaven Fire wasn't just freezing; it contained the most lethal poison in the world.
hǎo zài cǐ nǚ fǎn yìng yě shì jí kuài de ， qiān jūn yī zhī jì ， jiāng jiǔ tiān líng dùn kāi qǐ 。
好在此女反应也是极快的，千钧一之际，将九天灵盾开启。
The blue ghostly flames in its eyes flickered with fear.
fáng yù bìng wèi bèi dǎ pò ， dàn yìng káng jù lì kěn dìng shì huì shòu shāng de ， qín yán jiè shì xiàng hòu tuì qù le 。
防御并未被打破，但硬扛巨力肯定是会受伤的，秦妍借势向后退去了。
However, there was no time for contemplation.
hōng !
轰!
Freezing and poisoning weren't the most terrifying aspects of this fire. The innermost layer, a dull gray emptiness, held the ultimate destructive force—extreme cold that could corrode anything.
suì shí fēn luò rú yǔ ， què shì tā zhuàng shàng le xǔ duō cán yuán duàn bì 。
碎石纷落如雨，却是她撞上了许多残垣断壁。
Visible to the naked eye, the giant ice sculpture began to melt away.
gǔ mó bìng méi yǒu bà shǒu zhī yì ， suī rán gǔ bù dǒng de shén me jiào zuò luò jǐng xià shí ， dàn duì shēng líng de yàn wù ， què ràng gǔ bù shā sǐ dí rén shì bú huì shàn bà gān xiū de 。
骨魔并没有罢手之意，虽然牯不懂得什么叫做落井下石，但对生灵的厌恶，却让牯不杀死敌人是不会善罢甘休的。
The outer layers of ice and bones dissolved into nothingness, leaving no trace as if the monster had never existed in this world.
bié kàn zhè guài wù yǔ rén lèi xiāng bǐ ， tǐ xíng páng bó i1 dàn dòng zuò què líng huó dé yǔ yuán hóu chà bu duō ， hún shēn hēi máng shǎn guò ， huà wèi yī lǚ wū hóng xiàng qián fēi qù le 。
别看这怪物与人类相比，体型磅礴i1但动作却灵活得与猿猴差不多，浑身黑芒闪过，化为一缕乌虹向前飞去了。
With a flick of his wrist, an early-stage婴灵 cultivator was eliminated.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， tā kě shì lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， zì rán néng jiāng yǎn qián zhàn jú kàn gè qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，他可是离合期修仙者，自然能将眼前战局看个清清楚楚。
Satisfied with the power of the Illusory Vast Heaven Fire, Lin Xuan realized it was his first time using it. Its strength far exceeded his expectations.
zhè yī jī ， qín yán jué duì duǒ bù guò 。 hǎo jiǎo huá de gǔ mó ! lín xuān liǎn shàng yī sī lì qì shǎn guò ， zì rán bú huì kàn zhe bù guǎn de 。 xiù páo yī fú ， yī jī dàn dà xiǎo de huǒ yàn fú xiàn ér chū 。 sān zhǒng yán sè liú zhuǎn bù yǐ 。 kàn shàng qù guǐ yì ér měi lì ， què chōng mǎn le yī zhǒng wēi xiǎn de qì xī 。
这一击，秦妍绝对躲不过。好狡猾的骨魔!林轩脸上一丝戾气闪过，自然不会看着不管的。袖袍一拂，一鸡蛋大小的火焰浮现而出。三种颜色流转不已。看上去诡异而美丽，却充满了一种危险的气息。
The previous碧幻幽火 was already formidable, but compared to this upgraded inferno, they were in different leagues.
yǐ qián de bì huàn yōu huǒ yǐ wēi lì wú bǐ ， rú jīn de huàn líng tiān huǒ gèng bú shì pǔ tōng de rén jiè shén tōng kě yǐ qǐ jí 。
以前的碧幻幽火已威力无比，如今的幻灵天火更不是普通的人界神通可以企及。
Just as he pondered these thoughts, a cry echoed, filled with fear. Lin Xuan paused; the monster had been defeated, so Qin Yan should have escaped danger, right?
