lín xuān bù yóu de dà xǐ 。
林轩不由得大喜。
Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
zhè shì shàng tiān cì xià lái de liáng jī 。
这是上天赐下来的良机。
This was a divine opportunity bestowed by heaven. If he missed it, he would surely be struck by lightning and cursed to death.
rú guǒ cuò guò ， kě shì yào tiān dǎ léi pī 。
如果错过，可是要天打雷劈。
Thoughts raced through his mind as an aura of terrifying killing intent surged from him.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou shǎn guò ， lín xuān hún shēn shàng xià ， yě yǒu lìng rén wèi jù de shā qì pēn bó 。
脑海中念头闪过，林轩浑身上下，也有令人畏惧的杀气喷薄。
Seize the moment when he's weak; take his life now! At this moment, there was no time for mercy. A dazzling light burst forth from the celestial phoenix divine claw.
chèn tā bìng ， yào tā mìng ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， nǎ hái gù dé shàng shǒu xià liú qíng ， yī tuán yào yǎn de guāng huá ， zài tiān fèng shén zhǎo shàng bào shè ér chū 。
趁他病，要他命，此时此刻，哪还顾得上手下留情，一团耀眼的光华，在天凤神爪上爆射而出。
With his strength greatly diminished, the opponent could no longer withstand the erosion of the illusory spirit heavenly fire.
duì fāng shí lì dà jiǎn hòu ， zài yě dǎng bú zhù huàn líng tiān huǒ de qīn shí 。
对方实力大减后，再也挡不住幻灵天火的侵蚀。
A sizzling sound reached his ears as the ancient demon's right hand began to be enveloped by black energy. His aura was gradually strengthening.
cī lā de qīng xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， gǔ mó de yòu shǒu ， kāi shǐ bèi xuán bīng fēng zhù ， kāi shǐ ， jǐn shì quán tou ， rán ér nà hán qì jí wéi kě bù ， shùn zhe jīng mài ， bù tíng de xiàng shàng màn yán zhe 。
刺啦的轻响声传入耳朵，古魔的右手，开始被玄冰封住，开始，仅是拳头，然而那寒气极为可怖，顺着经脉，不停的向上蔓延着。
Unlike cultivators, ancient demons were naturally bold and combative creatures. Despite this severe injury, he did not retreat but became even more frenzied.
yǔ zhī bàn suí de ， hái yǒu jù dú 。
与之伴随的，还有剧毒。
His bone blades detached from his elbow and knee, transforming into deep black light that surged towards Lin Xuan.
gǔ mó de jī fū ， yuán běn jiù shì hēi sè ， bù guò lín jiǎ què shì míng liàng de ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， suí zhe jù dú de xiào guǒ ， lín jiǎ kāi shǐ shī qù guāng zé 。
古魔的肌肤，原本就是黑色，不过鳞甲却是明亮的，此时此刻，随着剧毒的效果，鳞甲开始失去光泽。
"Little fellow, you've pushed me to such an extent; even if I'm severely injured, I must take your life first."
dàn zhè hái bú shì zuì kě pà zhī chù ， huàn líng tiān jiān gòng fēn sān zhǒng yán sè ， lǐ céng nà huī méng méng de sǐ jì yùn hán de nǎi shì zhì yīn zhì hán de fǔ shí zhī lì 。
但这还不是最可怕之处，幻灵天尖共分三种颜色，里层那灰蒙蒙的死寂蕴含的乃是至阴至寒的腐蚀之力。
The jade hand of the celestial phoenix behind him swung down again. The ancient demon disregarded everything, vowing to kill Lin Xuan before anything else.
néng gòu tūn shì shēng mìng de qì xī 。
能够吞噬生命的气息。
Clearly, he hated him deeply.
yí dàn bèi xī zhān shàng ， wàn wù dū huì màn màn de shī qù huó lì 。
一旦被牺沾上，万物都会慢慢的失去活力。
However, fear did not show on Lin Xuan's face.
guǎn nǐ shén me mó zǔ ， zhǐ yào méi yǒu shén tōng dǐ yù ， zuì hòu dū huì fēng huà biàn chéng bù qǐ yǎn de shā lì 。
管你什么魔祖，只要没有神通抵御，最后都会风化变成不起眼的沙粒。
If it were at full strength, an ancient demon might force him to temporarily retreat. But now...
gǔ mó de yǎn zhōng mǎn shì jīng kǒng zhī sè ， tā zuò mèng yě xiǎng bú dào zuì hòu jū rán biàn chéng zhè zhǒng jié guǒ ， yuán běn zì jǐ xiǎng yào gè gè jī pò ， nǎ zhī dào zuì hòu ， liè shǒu què biàn chéng le liè wù ， tà rù le zhè jī hū shì bì sǐ zhī jú de xiàn jǐng zhōng 。
古魔的眼中满是惊恐之色，他做梦也想不到最后居然变成这种结果，原本自己想要各个击破，哪知道最后，猎手却变成了猎物，踏入了这几乎是必死之局的陷阱中。
Based on his experience, how could he fail to discern the true state of such a creature?
qíng kuàng duì tā lái shuō ， yǐ shì wēi xiǎn yǐ jí ， dàn gǔ mó zì rán bù kě néng zuò yǐ dài bì 。
情况对他来说，已是危险以极，但古魔自然不可能坐以待毙。
A hollow shell, what was there to be afraid of? Besides, his own powers had yet to be fully unleashed.
hǒu ， bàn suí zhe jīng tiān dòng dì de dà jiào ， tā hún shēn de mó lì ， xiàng zhe bèi yuè ér suǒ kǎn chū lái de nà dào shāng kǒu kuáng yǒng ér qù 。
吼，伴随着惊天动地的大叫，他浑身的魔力，向着被月儿所砍出来的那道伤口狂涌而去。
A golden light burst from Lin Xuan's back.
yǒu le mó qì de tián chōng ， kě yǐ kàn jiàn shǔ yǐ wàn jì de ròu yá zài bù tíng rú dòng 。
有了魔气的填充，可以看见数以万计的肉芽在不停蠕动。
Blinding and majestic!
nà tiáo kě bù de shāng kǒu ， jìng yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de sù dù kāi shǐ huī fù 。
那条可怖的伤口，竟以肉眼可见的速度开始恢复。
But this was just the beginning. The dazzling golden light grew even brighter, transforming into a figure.
lín xuān mù dèng kǒu dāi ， bù guò suí hòu yòu lěng jìng xià lái ， néng huī fù yòu rú hé ， shī zhǎn zhè zhǒng nì tiān shén tōng bù kě néng bù fù chū yì diǎn dài jià de 。
林轩目瞪口呆，不过随后又冷静下来，能恢复又如何，施展这种逆天神通不可能不付出一点代价的。
"What...?"
guǒ rán ， gǔ mó de qì shì zài xùn sù jiǎn ruò 。
果然，古魔的气势在迅速减弱。
The ancient demon's expression froze as he felt something amiss but more absurd. A mere small cultivator who had just entered the Separation Realm could have so many divine techniques?
qiě kàn sān sè xuán bīng huǒ tā yòu zěn me dǐ dǎng ne ？
且看三色玄冰火他又怎么抵挡呢？
Figure?
lěng 、 dú 、 fǔ shí ， sān zhǒng bù tóng de néng liàng hái zài jì xù duì xī shēn tǐ fēng kuáng de qīn shí 。
冷、毒、腐蚀，三种不同的能量还在继续对牺身体疯狂的侵蚀。
Wasn't he mistaken? Even among those famous powerful existences in the Spirit World, few had practiced the figure technique.
gǔ mó de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī lì qì ， rú guǒ méi yǒu bèi shàng de shāng kǒu tā huò xǔ hái kě yǐ miǎn qiǎng dǎng zhù ， rú jīn xiǎng yào bǎo zhù yòu bì jiù chéng chī rén shuō mèng le 。
古魔的脸上闪过一丝戾气，如果没有背上的伤口他或许还可以勉强挡住，如今想要保住右臂就成痴人说梦了。
Lin Xuan's lips curled with mockery as a golden light erupted from his back, growing brighter than the sun.
yǎn zhōng mǎn shì yuàn dú ， zhè jiā huo ， dào yě shì hěn lì guǒ jué de rén wù ， tā měng rán zhāng kǒu ， yī dào lì máng pēn tǔ ér chū ， wéi zhe zì jǐ de jiān zhǒng yī rào ， jū rán jiāng zhěng gè yòu bì gěi fàng qì diào 。
眼中满是怨毒，这家伙，倒也是狠厉果决的人物，他猛然张口，一道厉芒喷吐而出，围着自己的肩肿一绕，居然将整个右臂给放弃掉。
"Divine Figure..."
zhuàng shì duàn wàn ！
壮士断腕！
The golden light condensed, revealing its original form. The appearance was identical to Lin Xuan, like his shadow, but now there were nine heads and eighteen arms!
rú cǐ yī lái ， huàn líng tiān huǒ de wēi jī zì rán jiě chú 。
如此一来，幻灵天火的危机自然解除。
The Small Heavenly Palace technique had been pushed to its limits by Lin Xuan.
suī rán lì chǎng shì dí duì de ， dàn lín xuān yǎn zhōng yě bù yóu de shǎn guò jǐ fēn pèi fú 。
虽然立场是敌对的，但林轩眼中也不由得闪过几分佩服。
His strength surged close to mid-stage.
hǒu ！
吼！
Each arm held a weapon: swords, spears, halberds, and more. Although not necessarily what he commonly used, the items were undoubtedly of great value given his status.
yī tuán yào yǎn de hēi máng měng rán zài cǐ mó de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn bào kāi le 。
一团耀眼的黑芒猛然在此魔的身体表面爆开了。
The ancient demon's expression changed wildly.
hēi sè de guāng yùn zhōng ， tā de shēn xíng xùn sù suō xiǎo ， rán ér zhěng gè shēn tǐ biǎo miàn ， què bèi hēi sè de mó qì chán rào ， qì shì jū rán zài zhú jiàn jiā qiáng 。
黑色的光晕中，他的身形迅速缩小，然而整个身体表面，却被黑色的魔气缠绕，气势居然在逐渐加强。
"Want to fight me? Wait until next life! Now, die!"
yǔ xiū xiān zhě bù tóng ， gǔ mó tiān shēng jiù shì xǐ huān hǎo yǒng dòu hěn de shēng wù ， shòu cǐ zhòng chuāng ， tā bù jǐn méi yǒu tuì suō ， fǎn ér yuè fā de fēng kuáng 。
与修仙者不同，古魔天生就是喜欢好勇斗狠的生物，受此重创，他不仅没有退缩，反而越发的疯狂。
Before he could finish speaking, the weapons in the figure's hands struck down on him.
shǒu zhǒu yǔ xī gài de gǔ rèn ， měng rán tuō là le xià lái 。
手肘与膝盖的骨刃，猛然脱落了下来。
The ancient demon had no choice but to dodge. A look of fear flashed across his eyes.
huà zuò shēn suì de hēi guāng ， jī she xiàng lín xuān de fāng xiàng 。
化作深邃的黑光，激she像林轩的方向。
A piercing sound entered Lin Xuan's ears as the thick armor covering his body couldn't withstand such a powerful attack.
cì ń ……”
刺嗯……”
Armor shattered, eighteen treasures pierced into his body.
tā tóu dǐng nà chǐ xǔ zhǎng de jiān jiǎo ， biǎo miàn shàng yě diàn hú chán rào ， zhǐ bù guò nà diàn hú tóng yàng shì hēi sè ， què yòu yǐn yǐn fàn zhe xuè hóng de guāng zé 。
他头顶那尺许长的尖角，表面上也电弧缠绕，只不过那电弧同样是黑色，却又隐隐泛着血红的光泽。
Lin Xuan's face lit up with joy, but soon, his eyes narrowed as he saw five-colored light emanating from behind him. A piercing sound echoed in his ears as the ancient demon's body exploded.
“ xiǎo jiā huo ， nǐ jū rán jiāng běn huī zūn bī dào rú cǐ dì bù ， jiù suàn pīn zhe bèi zhòng chuāng ， wǒ yě yào xiān jiāng nǐ de xìng mìng shōu gē 。”
“小家伙，你居然将本麾尊逼到如此地步，就算拼着被重创，我也要先将你的性命收割。”
No, it wasn't the ancient demon; just a clone of his right foot.
bèi hòu 1 yuè ér de yù shǒu zài cì huī luò ， cǐ mó jū rán bù guǎn bù gù ， shì yào xiān jiāng lín xuān zhǎn shā le zài shuō 。
背后1月儿的玉手再次挥落，此魔居然不管不顾，誓要先将林轩斩杀了再说。
Substitute cultivation!
xiǎn rán ， duì tā shì hèn zhī rù gǔ 。
显然，对他是恨之入骨。
This old monster was truly ruthless. He had already sacrificed his right hand and now even his right foot.
rán ér lín xuān liǎn shàng yī jiù méi yǒu wèi jù zhī sè 。
然而林轩脸上依旧没有畏惧之色。
Lin Xuan's thoughts raced as five-colored light shone even brighter.
rú guǒ shì quán shèng shí qī de gǔ mó ， zì jǐ huò xǔ hái bù dé bù zàn bì yī èr de ， bù guò xiàn zài me ……”
如果是全盛时期的古魔，自己或许还不得不暂避一二的，不过现在么……”
The celestial phoenix divine claw's effects were formidable. Several black energies entered his vision, gathering about twenty feet away from him, the ancient demon reappeared, missing a hand and an arm, looking somewhat comical.
duì fāng kàn shì xiōng měng ， dàn yǐ lín xuān dòu jīng yàn zhī fēng fù ， qí zhēn shí zhuàng tài rú hé ， qǐ huì fēn bàn bù chū 。
对方看似凶猛，但以林轩斗经验之丰富，其真实状态如何，岂会分瓣不出。
His gaze turned to Lin Xuan with no words needed—desire to tear him limb from limb. His remaining left hand suddenly extended, black light flashing as a long spear appeared in his palm.
wài qiáng zhōng gān de jiā huo ， yǒu shén me hǎo pà de 。
外强中干的家伙，有什么好怕的。
He threw it at Lin Xuan.
hé kuàng rú jīn de zì jǐ ， shén tōng hái wèi jǐn chū 。
何况如今的自己，神通还未尽出。
Whizz!
sī háo zhēng zhào yě wú ， yī tuán jīn máng cóng lín xuān de bèi hòu bào shè ér chū 。
丝毫征兆也无，一团金芒从林轩的背后爆射而出。
A piercing sound echoed as the strange scene unfolded. The spear vanished instantly, reappearing less than three feet away from Lin Xuan's chest.
yào yǎn cì mù ， kàn shàng qù zūn guì huá měi dào le jí chù ！
耀眼刺目，看上去尊贵华美到了极处！
Spatial techniques!
rán ér zhè bù guò shì kāi shǐ bà le 。
然而这不过是开始罢了。
Among these were some peculiar rules.
nà yào yǎn de jīn máng yuè lái yuè liàng ， suí hòu jìng biàn huà chū le yī zūn xiāng 。
那耀眼的金芒越来越亮，随后竟变化出了一尊相。
At Lin Xuan's current stage, he couldn't comprehend them. This attack was unavoidable.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
Nine Heaven Microsteps wouldn't help either; at most, he could activate his spirit shield, but such defense would be insufficient against the ancient demon's wrathful strike.
gǔ mó de biǎo qíng ， dùn shí níng gù le ， yǐn yǐn gǎn dào bù tuǒ ， dàn huāng miù de chéng fèn gèng duō ， qū qū yī míng gāng mài rù lí hé de xiǎo jiā huo ， shén tōng zěn me rú cǐ zhī duō 。
古魔的表情，顿时凝固了，隐隐感到不妥，但荒谬的成分更多，区区一名刚迈入离合的小家伙，神通怎么如此之多。
But there was no choice. He poured all his strength into it.
xiāng ？
相？
He didn't know how effective the Azure Flame Qilin Armor would be, and his heart was filled with uncertainty.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， bié shuō tā zhè yàng bù qǐ yǎn de ， rú lóu yǐ yì bān de xiū xiān zhě ， jiù suàn shì nà xiē líng jiè chū míng de dà néng cún zài zhōng ， xiū liàn guò xiāng shén tōng de yě bù duō 。
有没有搞错，别说他这样不起眼的，如蝼蚁一般的修仙者，就算是那些灵界出名的大能存在中，修炼过相神通的也不多。
However, a gentle breeze entered his nostrils as the celestial phoenix threw herself in front of him to block the attack.
gǔ mó gǎn jué zì jǐ de nǎo dài yǒu xiē bù hǎo yòng le 。
古魔感觉自己的脑袋有些不好用了。
Lin Xuan's face changed drastically.
rú guǒ bú shì hěn míng xiǎn de gǎn jué dào lín xuān tǐ nèi de shén hún néng liàng ， tā shèn zhì dōu yào yǐ wéi zhè jiā huo yě shì líng jiè de lǎo guài wù ， yě shì fēn hún jiàng lín dào zhè rén jiè bà le 。
如果不是很明显的感觉到林轩体内的神魂能量，他甚至都要以为这家伙也是灵界的老怪物，也是分魂降临到这人界罢了。
How could he hide behind a woman? But there was no time to pull her back now.
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo ， lù chū yī sī jī cháo ， bèi hòu de jīn guāng ， què suí zhī fēng kuáng de bào zhǎng 。
林轩的嘴角，露出一丝讥嘲，背后的金光，却随之疯狂的暴涨。
The Thousand Illusion Jiao Pattern Shield would definitely block this strike. However, activating the supreme treasure required time, and the celestial phoenix didn't have that luxury.
biàn dé bǐ tài yáng hái yào míng liàng ！
变得比太阳还要明亮！
Overwhelmed with concern, Lin Xuan's heart raced as another ancient artifact floated in front of the young girl.
zūn qiè ér jīn sè de guāng lái ……”
尊妾而金色的光来……”
Only a palm-sized square inkstone, yet its simple design suggested it was no ordinary item.
suí hòu jīn máng yī liǎn ， xiǎn chū le xiāng de yuán xíng lái 。
随后金芒一敛，显出了相的原形来。
Facing the ancient demon's resentful strike, the girl showed no fear. She exhaled a burst of energy towards the treasure before her.
róng mào yǔ lín xuān bié wú èr zhì ， jiù fǎng fú zì jǐ de yǐng zi ， jiā shàng běn tǐ ， yī gòng yǒu jiǔ tóu shí bā bì ！
容貌与林轩别无二致，就仿佛自己的影子，加上本体，一共有九头十八臂！
A light 'pop' echoed as thick fog erupted from the inkstone.
tǐ nèi jué liú zhuǎn ， xiǎo luó tiān xiāng ， yǐ jīng bèi lín xuān cuī shǐ dào le jí zhì lái 。
体内诀流转，小罗天相，已经被林轩催使到了极致来。
Mysterious ink fragrance!
lín xuān de lì ， yě yī xià zi bào zhǎng dào jiē jìn zhōng qī 。
林轩的力，也一下子暴涨到接近中期。
The ancient demon's eyes flashed with surprise, but there was no time to change tactics. The black spear plunged in.
ér xiāng de měi yī tiáo shǒu bì ， dōu ná zhe yī yàng wǔ qì 。
而相的每一条手臂，都拿着一样武器。
Logically, it should have been an extremely terrifying attack, yet it was silent and invisible.
dāo qiāng jiàn jǐ ， suī rán bù yí dìng shì lín xuān cháng yòng de dōng xī ， dàn yǐ tā shēn jià zhī fēng hòu ， kěn ná chū lái yù dí de kěn dìng yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě zhī wù 。
刀枪剑戟，虽然不一定是林轩常用的东西，但以他身价之丰厚，肯拿出来御敌的肯定也是非同小可之物。
The ancient demon was stunned, first showing signs of surprise before realizing something: "Ghostly煞 Yin Ink... impossible! How could you command Ghostly煞 Yin Ink?"
gǔ mó de biǎo qíng ， yī xià zi kuáng biàn le 。” xiǎng yǔ wǒ pīn mìng ， qiě děng xià bèi zi ， xiàn zài nǐ gěi wǒ qù sǐ ！”
古魔的表情，一下子狂变了。”想与我拼命，且等下辈子，现在你给我去死！”
He seemed to be greatly shocked, more so than when he lost a hand and foot.
huà yīn wèi luò ， nà xiāng shǒu zhōng de shí bā bān bīng qì ， yì qǐ cháo zhe duì fāng dǎ xià qù le 。
话音未落，那相手中的十八般兵器，一起朝着对方打下去了。
In高手 battles, every detail counts. He couldn't afford such distractions.
gǔ mó duǒ wú kě duǒ ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī wèi jù zhī sè 。
古魔躲无可躲，眼中闪过一丝畏惧之色。
As the ancient demon was dazed, an unexpected change occurred.
pū chī yī shēng chuán rù ěr zá ， gǔ mó shēn tǐ biǎo miàn de lín jiǎ ， suī rán hòu shí yǐ jí ， dàn yě dǎng bú zhù zhè yàng pī tóu gài liǎn de gōng jī 。
噗嗤一声传入耳杂，古魔身体表面的鳞甲，虽然厚实以极，但也挡不住这样劈头盖脸的攻击。
A thin blade like a cicada's wing appeared, floating near his neck.
kǎi jiǎ suì liè le qù ， shí bā jiàn bǎo ， quán bù dǎ rù tā de shēn tǐ 。
铠甲碎裂了去，十八件宝，全部打入他的身体。
Only a few inches away.
lín xuān liǎn sè yī xǐ ， dàn hěn kuài ， yǎn jīng jiù wēi mī le xià qù móu dǐ shēn chù ， zài cì fú xiàn chū wǔ cǎi liú lí ， pū chī yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， gǔ mó de shēn tǐ jìng rán bào liè kāi lái 。
林轩脸色一喜，但很快，眼睛就微眯了下去眸底深处，再次浮现出五彩琉璃，噗嗤一声传入耳朵，古魔的身体竟然爆裂开来。
But he truly excelled; another pair of long, narrow eyes shot out a crystal-clear beam, attempting to use spatial techniques. However, it was too late. It only gave him a brief moment to avoid decapitation but left half his body severed from shoulder to abdomen.
bú duì ， zhè gēn běn bú shì gǔ mó zhǐ bù guò shì tā yòng yòu jiǎo ， biàn huàn chū lái de yí gè huà shēn bà le 。
不对，这根本不是古魔只不过是他用右脚，变幻出来的一个化身罢了。
With one hand and foot remaining, now only half his body remained, limbs gone.
tì shēn dù jié ！
替身渡劫！
"Hmph, you treat me like air," a mocking voice entered his ears. The Pavilion of Expectation's brush moved like dragons and snakes; the ambush was his work. As the golden pen moved, several swords and spears appeared in mid-air, thrusting towards the ancient demon.
zhè lǎo guài wù ， dào zhēn shì hěn là yǐ jí de rén wù ， xiān jiāng yòu shǒu shě qù ， xiàn zài lián yòu jiǎo ， yě tóng yàng bú yào le 。
这老怪物，倒真是狠辣以极的人物，先将右手舍去，现在连右脚，也同样不要了。
The old monster, despite his resilience, couldn't dodge after such severe injuries.
mò xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou jí zhuǎn ， tóng shí yǎn dǐ nà wǔ sè de guāng máng zài cì dà shèng le qǐ lái le 。
秣轩脑海中念头急转，同时眼底那五色的光芒再次大盛了起来了。
His remaining demonic energy faced the righteous energy crumbling apart. Nine thousand words of a burst, phew, I'm exhausted. But as promised, this burst has been completed. However, the recommendation votes are still so few. Fellow daoists, if you have any, please vote! I'll keep updating without seeking monthly tickets; just don't ask for free recommendation votes, or it will break my heart. We're about to enter the Spirit World, and such words lack motivation!
tiān fēng shén mù dì xiào guǒ ， fēi tóng xiǎo kě shù dào hēi qì jìn rù le yǎn lián zhōng ， zài zì jǐ shēn cè dà yuē èr shí yú zhàng de dì fāng yī jù ， gǔ mó de shēn yǐng zài cì xiǎn xiàn ér chū ， zhǐ bù guò zhè yī huí shǎo le yī shǒu yī zú ， kàn shàng qù yǒu jǐ fēn kě xiào bà le 。
天风神目的效果，非同小可数道黑气进入了眼帘中，在自己身侧大约二十余丈的地方一聚，古魔的身影再次显现而出，只不过这一回少了一手一足，看上去有几分可笑罢了。
One more plea for recommendation votes. Today's nine thousand-word burst is complete. My people skills are still good, right? Hehe.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
This was a divine opportunity bestowed by heaven. If he missed it, he would surely be struck by lightning and cursed to death.
Thoughts raced through his mind as an aura of terrifying killing intent surged from him.
Seize the moment when he's weak; take his life now! At this moment, there was no time for mercy. A dazzling light burst forth from the celestial phoenix divine claw.
With his strength greatly diminished, the opponent could no longer withstand the erosion of the illusory spirit heavenly fire.
A sizzling sound reached his ears as the ancient demon's right hand began to be enveloped by black energy. His aura was gradually strengthening.
Unlike cultivators, ancient demons were naturally bold and combative creatures. Despite this severe injury, he did not retreat but became even more frenzied.
His bone blades detached from his elbow and knee, transforming into deep black light that surged towards Lin Xuan.
"Little fellow, you've pushed me to such an extent; even if I'm severely injured, I must take your life first."
The jade hand of the celestial phoenix behind him swung down again. The ancient demon disregarded everything, vowing to kill Lin Xuan before anything else.
Clearly, he hated him deeply.
However, fear did not show on Lin Xuan's face.
If it were at full strength, an ancient demon might force him to temporarily retreat. But now...
Based on his experience, how could he fail to discern the true state of such a creature?
A hollow shell, what was there to be afraid of? Besides, his own powers had yet to be fully unleashed.
A golden light burst from Lin Xuan's back.
Blinding and majestic!
But this was just the beginning. The dazzling golden light grew even brighter, transforming into a figure.
"What...?"
The ancient demon's expression froze as he felt something amiss but more absurd. A mere small cultivator who had just entered the Separation Realm could have so many divine techniques?
Figure?
Wasn't he mistaken? Even among those famous powerful existences in the Spirit World, few had practiced the figure technique.
Lin Xuan's lips curled with mockery as a golden light erupted from his back, growing brighter than the sun.
"Divine Figure..."
The golden light condensed, revealing its original form. The appearance was identical to Lin Xuan, like his shadow, but now there were nine heads and eighteen arms!
The Small Heavenly Palace technique had been pushed to its limits by Lin Xuan.
His strength surged close to mid-stage.
Each arm held a weapon: swords, spears, halberds, and more. Although not necessarily what he commonly used, the items were undoubtedly of great value given his status.
The ancient demon's expression changed wildly.
"Want to fight me? Wait until next life! Now, die!"
Before he could finish speaking, the weapons in the figure's hands struck down on him.
The ancient demon had no choice but to dodge. A look of fear flashed across his eyes.
A piercing sound entered Lin Xuan's ears as the thick armor covering his body couldn't withstand such a powerful attack.
Armor shattered, eighteen treasures pierced into his body.
Lin Xuan's face lit up with joy, but soon, his eyes narrowed as he saw five-colored light emanating from behind him. A piercing sound echoed in his ears as the ancient demon's body exploded.
No, it wasn't the ancient demon; just a clone of his right foot.

Among these were some peculiar rules.
At Lin Xuan's current stage, he couldn't comprehend them. This attack was unavoidable.
Nine Heaven Microsteps wouldn't help either; at most, he could activate his spirit shield, but such defense would be insufficient against the ancient demon's wrathful strike.
But there was no choice. He poured all his strength into it.
He didn't know how effective the Azure Flame Qilin Armor would be, and his heart was filled with uncertainty.
However, a gentle breeze entered his nostrils as the celestial phoenix threw herself in front of him to block the attack.
Lin Xuan's face changed drastically.
How could he hide behind a woman? But there was no time to pull her back now.
The Thousand Illusion Jiao Pattern Shield would definitely block this strike. However, activating the supreme treasure required time, and the celestial phoenix didn't have that luxury.
Overwhelmed with concern, Lin Xuan's heart raced as another ancient artifact floated in front of the young girl.
Only a palm-sized square inkstone, yet its simple design suggested it was no ordinary item.
Facing the ancient demon's resentful strike, the girl showed no fear. She exhaled a burst of energy towards the treasure before her.
A light 'pop' echoed as thick fog erupted from the inkstone.
Mysterious ink fragrance!
The ancient demon's eyes flashed with surprise, but there was no time to change tactics. The black spear plunged in.
Logically, it should have been an extremely terrifying attack, yet it was silent and invisible.
The ancient demon was stunned, first showing signs of surprise before realizing something: "Ghostly煞 Yin Ink... impossible! How could you command Ghostly煞 Yin Ink?"
He seemed to be greatly shocked, more so than when he lost a hand and foot.
In高手 battles, every detail counts. He couldn't afford such distractions.
As the ancient demon was dazed, an unexpected change occurred.
A thin blade like a cicada's wing appeared, floating near his neck.
Only a few inches away.
But he truly excelled; another pair of long, narrow eyes shot out a crystal-clear beam, attempting to use spatial techniques. However, it was too late. It only gave him a brief moment to avoid decapitation but left half his body severed from shoulder to abdomen.
With one hand and foot remaining, now only half his body remained, limbs gone.
"Hmph, you treat me like air," a mocking voice entered his ears. The Pavilion of Expectation's brush moved like dragons and snakes; the ambush was his work. As the golden pen moved, several swords and spears appeared in mid-air, thrusting towards the ancient demon.
The old monster, despite his resilience, couldn't dodge after such severe injuries.
His remaining demonic energy faced the righteous energy crumbling apart. Nine thousand words of a burst, phew, I'm exhausted. But as promised, this burst has been completed. However, the recommendation votes are still so few. Fellow daoists, if you have any, please vote! I'll keep updating without seeking monthly tickets; just don't ask for free recommendation votes, or it will break my heart. We're about to enter the Spirit World, and such words lack motivation!
One more plea for recommendation votes. Today's nine thousand-word burst is complete. My people skills are still good, right? Hehe.
