历芒闪讨，此魔毫无悬念的，被大卸八块了。对来说失去身躯的头颅，眼中满是怨毒之色，张开口，发出惊怒的厉啸。
Liang Máng flashed and the demon was effortlessly dismembered. The head, now devoid of its body, glared with venomous eyes as it opened its mouth to emit a piercing scream.
nà xiào shēng ， rú hǎi cháo nù tāo yì bān ， ròu yǎn kě jiàn de bō wén xiàng zhe sì zhōu yán shēn kuò zhǎn ， pēng pēng pēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， mó qì fān yǒng ， nà xiē cán pò de mó qū ， jìng rán bào liè diào le ， yī dào hēi sè de mó fēng píng kōng ér qǐ 。
那啸声，如海潮怒涛一般，肉眼可见的波纹向着四周延伸扩展，嘭嘭嘭的声音传入耳朵，魔气翻涌，那些残破的魔躯，竟然爆裂掉了，一道黑色的魔风凭空而起。
The sound echoed like a tidal wave, visible ripples spreading outwards. The ears picked up the 'bang bang bang' sounds; the demon energy surged, and the shattered demon bodies exploded in fragments. A black demonic wind appeared out of nowhere.
wàng tíng lóu yě bù yóu xiàng hòu tuì qù ， méi xiǎng dào dào le zhè yī bù ， cǐ mó hái néng fǎn jī ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， xī yǐ shì qiáng nǔ zhī mò ， zì rán méi yǒu bì yào ， zài yǔ qí yìng pèng yìng le 。 shī zhǎn zuì hòu de shén tōng ， miǎn qiǎng bī tuì qiáng dí ， nà bào liè de mó qū zhōng ， sà rán fēi chū yī tuán yōu shēn de hēi qì ， xiàng zhe zhōu wéi kuáng juǎn ér qù 。
望亭楼也不由向后退去，没想到到了这一步，此魔还能反击，但不管如何，牺已是强弩之末，自然没有必要，再与其硬碰硬了。施展最后的神通，勉强逼退强敌，那爆裂的魔躯中，飒然飞出一团幽深的黑气，向着周围狂卷而去。
Wangtinglou couldn't help retreating. He hadn’t expected this demon to retaliate at such a critical juncture. Regardless, Xi was already on his last legs, so there was no need for further confrontation. With his final divine power, he barely pushed back the formidable opponent. A deep black aura shot out from the shattered body and swept towards the surroundings.
lüè yī fān yǒng ， jiù xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
略一翻涌，就消失得无影无踪。
After a moment of swirling, it vanished without a trace.
xià yī kè ， chū xiàn zài èr shí yú zhàng de yuǎn chù 。 pò kōng shǎn ！
下一刻，出现在二十余丈的远处。破空闪！
In an instant, it reappeared twenty meters away. Breakthrough!
bǐ shùn yí hái yào xuán miào de kōng jiān fǎ shù 。
比瞬移还要玄妙的空间法术。
A more mysterious spatial technique than instantaneous teleportation.
duì fāng de yuán shén xiǎng yào táo tuō 。
对方的元神想要逃脱。
The demon’s soul tried to escape. However, Lin Xuan had been waiting with his eyes like tigers. He held an ancient-looking spear in his hand.
rán ér lín xuān zǎo yǐ hǔ shì zài cè ， tā de shǒu lǐ chí zhe yī zào xíng gǔ piáo de zhǎng gē 。
然而林轩早已虎视在侧，他的手里持着一造型古朴的长戈。
His magical energy poured into the weapon and struck the opponent fiercely.
hún shēn de fǎ lì rú jué dī zhī shuǐ yì bān ， yǒng rù lǐ miàn ， rán hòu cháo zhe duì fāng ， hěn hěn de huī là xià lái 。
浑身的法力如决堤之水一般，涌入里面，然后朝着对方，狠狠的挥落下来。
"Zhiliao," a faint sound echoed as space ripples appeared. The black aura reappeared before him.
“ cī lā ” yī shēng qīng xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， kōng jiān bō dòng yì qǐ ， zài cì xiāo nì de hēi qì ， chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
“刺啦”一声轻响传入耳朵，空间波动一起，再次消匿的黑气，出现在了视线里。
It coalesced, revealing a demonic head with two faces. One was the ancient demon from earlier, while the other looked exactly like the white-faced scholar on his chest.
wǎng zhōng jiān yī jù ， yī è guǐ tóu lú xiǎn xiàn ér chū ， què yǒu zhe liǎng zhāng liǎn kǒng 。
往中间一聚，一恶鬼头颅显现而出，却有着两张脸孔。
"Quick."
yī zhāng zhèng shì gāng cái de gǔ mó ， zhì yú lìng wài yī zhāng ， zé yǔ tā xiōng kǒu de bái miàn shū shēng wéi miào wéi xiào 。
一张正是刚才的古魔，至于另外一张，则与他胸口的白面书生惟妙惟肖。
Lin Xuan pointed at it; the Illusory Heavenly Flame emerged and transformed into a three-colored net that enveloped the opponent.
“ jí 。”
“疾。”
The demon’s face changed. He had already witnessed the power of these flames, fear evident in his expression.
lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù ， huàn líng tiān huǒ fú xiàn ér chū ， lüè yī shǎn shuò ， jìng huà wèi yī zhāng sān sè dà wǎng jiāng duì fāng lǒng zhào zhù 。
林轩一指向前点去，幻灵天火浮现而出，略一闪烁，竟化为一张三色大网将对方笼罩住。
"You can’t kill me! I am the Celestial Essence Demon Sovereign from the upper realm. If you kill me, my true form will not rest until it destroys you," he said with a voice like iron clashing against steel. Desperate but still defiant, there was no sign of submission.
mó hún de liǎn sè quán biàn le 。
魔魂的脸色全变了。
"Trash." You think you’re something? A cowardly dog doesn’t deserve to threaten me."
zhè sān sè huǒ yàn de shèng lì ， tā gāng gāng yǐ jīng jiàn shí guò ， liǎn kǒng shàng yě bù yóu de lù chū wèi jù zhī sè 。
这三色火焰的盛力，他刚刚已经见识过，脸孔上也不由得露出畏惧之色。
Lin Xuan’s face darkened: "What kind of demon sovereign are you? You lack the dignity of a defeated warrior."
“ nǐ bù néng shā wǒ ， wǒ nǎi shàng jiè de tiān yuán mó zǔ ， nǐ ruò shì shā le wǒ ， wǒ de běn tǐ jué bú huì yǔ nǐ gàn xiū ” nà shí hòu niē sǐ nǐ ， jiù rú tóng niē sǐ yī zhī chòu chóng 。” jīn tiě jiāo míng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， mó hún zǒu tóu wú lù ， dàn yǔ qì yī jiù shì qiáng yìng dào jí chù ， tīng shàng qù sī háo qiú ráo de chéng yì yě wú 。
“你不能杀我，我乃上界的天元魔祖，你若是杀了我，我的本体绝不会与你干休”那时候捏死你，就如同捏死一只臭虫。”金铁交鸣的声音传入耳朵，魔魂走投无路，但语气依旧是强硬到极处，听上去丝毫求饶的诚意也无。
Before he could finish, Lin Xuan flicked his hand. The three-colored flames transformed into a net that fell and tightened around the demon soul.
“ lā jī ” nǐ yǐ wéi nǐ shì shén me dōng xī ， yī sàng jiā zhī quǎn yě pèi wēi xié wǒ 。” lín xuān de liǎn shàng ， shǎn guò jǐ fēn yīn mái zhī sè ：“ shén me gǒu pì mó zǔ ， yì diǎn yě méi yǒu zhàn bài zhě de jué wù 。”
“垃圾”你以为你是什么东西，一丧家之犬也配威胁我。”林轩的脸上，闪过几分阴霾之色：“什么狗屁魔祖，一点也没有战败者的觉悟。”
Wangtinglou was dumbfounded. The demon’s face grew even more fearful.
huà yīn wèi luò ， lín xuān shǒu yī dǒu ， nà sān sè huǒ yàn suǒ huà de dà wǎng ， měng rán là le xià lái ， jiāng mó hún shōu jǐn zài lǐ miàn 。
话音未落，林轩手一抖，那三色火焰所化的大网，猛然落了下来，将魔魂收紧在里面。
The two faces simultaneously inhaled, expelling blackish-red demonic flames.
wàng tíng lóu zài yī páng kàn dé mù dèng kǒu dāi ” nà mó hún yǎn zhōng de shén sè què yuè fā de kǒng jù le qǐ lái 。
望亭楼在一旁看得目瞪口呆”那魔魂眼中的神色却越发的恐惧了起来。
Unfortunately, it was futile. The Celestial Burning Demon Fire had already been depleted; with his master nearly spent, there was no way he could resist the Illusory Heavenly Flame.
liǎng zhāng liǎn kǒng tóng shí xī le kǒu qì ， jiāng hēi hóng sè de mó yán pēn tǔ chū qù 。
两张脸孔同时吸了口气，将黑红色的魔炎喷吐出去。
Upon contact, the Illusory Heavenly Flame ignited even more intensely, like water droplets falling into boiling oil.
kě xī méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， fén tiān mó huǒ běn lái jiù suǒ shèng bù duō ， ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， xī de zhǔ rén yǐ yóu jǐn dēng kū ， rú hé hái néng yǔ huàn líng tiān huǒ xiāng kàng héng ne 。
可惜没有效果，焚天魔火本来就所剩不多，而此时此刻，牺的主人已油尽灯枯，如何还能与幻灵天火相抗衡呢。
With a whoosh, the demon soul was engulfed by the flames. His screams were agonizingly loud as his heart filled with resentment. After ten thousand years of planning, he had been defeated by this insignificant Separation Formation Initial-stage youth. The Celestial Essence Demon Sovereign’s spirit was filled with不甘 (reluctance). He roared and dashed around the hall like a madman.
liǎng zhě yī jiē chù ， huàn líng tiān huǒ fǎn ér yóu rú gǔn yóu zhī zhōng bèi dī le xiē xǔ shuǐ dī ， rán shāo dé yuè fā de jù liè yǐ jí 。
两者一接触，幻灵天火反而犹如滚油之中被滴了些许水滴，燃烧得越发的剧烈以极。
After a moment, the sound ceased; his body and soul were annihilated, leaving only an egg-sized flame hovering in mid-air before returning to Lin Xuan's robe.
hū de yī shēng shǎn guò ” mó hún yǐ bèi xióng xióng rán shāo de huǒ yàn zhěng gè bāo guǒ 。
呼的一声闪过”魔魂已被熊熊燃烧的火焰整个包裹。
Despite another upper realm entity being defeated, Lin Xuan’s expression remained calm. As they say, too many fleas don’t itch; too much debt doesn’t matter. He was already on the new moon princess and Dao Hang's radar. Compared to their threats, a demon sovereign’s curse was insignificant.
tā de kǒu zhōng ， fā chū qī lì yǐ jí de cǎn hū ， xīn zhōng gèng shì chōng mǎn le yuàn dú ， móu huà le shí yú wàn nián de jì xíng ， zuì hòu jìng huǐ yú le yī qū qū lí hé chū qī xiǎo zi de shǒu lǐ ， tiān yuán mó zǔ xīn zhōng bù gān yǐ jí ， dài zháo huǒ yàn rú fā fēng yì bān de zài dà tīng zhōng chōng lái zhuàng qù 。
他的口中，发出凄厉以极的惨呼，心中更是充满了怨毒，谋划了十余万年的计刑，最后竟毁于了一区区离合初期小子的手里，天元魔祖心中不甘以极，带着火焰如发疯一般的在大厅中冲来撞去。
He was going to the Spirit Realm anyway. Even if his opponent were incredibly powerful, could he really come across different realms to seek revenge?
piàn kè hòu shēng yīn tíng zhǐ ” què yǐ shì xíng shén jù miè ， zhǐ cì xià yī tuán jī dàn dà xiǎo de huǒ yàn xuán fú zài bàn kōng ， suí hòu rú zhǎng jīng xī shuǐ yì bān ， huí dào le lín xuān de yī yòu lǐ 。
片刻后声音停止”却已是形神俱灭，只刺下一团鸡蛋大小的火焰悬浮在半空，随后如长鲸吸水一般，回到了林轩的衣柚里。
Spirit Realm cultivators also despised ancient demons; if he dared, they would surely attack and kill him.
jǐn guǎn yòu miè shā le yī míng shàng wèi cún zài ， lín xuān de shén sè ” què tǎn rán yǐ jí ， sú huà shuō ， shī zi duō le bù yǎng ” zhài duō le bù chóu ， fǎn zhèng tā zǎo yǐ bèi xīn yuè gōng zhǔ yǔ dǎo háng suǒ diàn jì ” yǔ zhè liǎng wèi de wēi xié xiāng bǐ ， mó zǔ de zǔ zhòu bù zhǐ yī tí 。
尽管又灭杀了一名上位存在，林轩的神色”却坦然以极，俗话说，虱子多了不痒”债多了不愁，反正他早已被新月公主与祷杭所惦记”与这两位的威胁相比，魔祖的诅咒不止一提。
The formidable enemy had been eliminated. However, Lin Xuan felt he had exerted too much effort in the battle. He hesitated for a moment before reaching into his belt and pulling out a small jade bottle.
fǎn zhèng zì jǐ yào qù de shì líng jiè ， duì fāng jiù suàn zài shén tōng guǎng dà ， nán dào hái néng gè jiè lái zhǎo zì jǐ bào chóu bù chéng 。
反正自己要去的是灵界，对方就算再神通广大，难道还能各界来找自己报仇不成。
Opening it, the fragrance was refreshing. Wangtinglou sniffed, first showing confusion but quickly replaced by astonishment. As the top expert of the Heavenly Cloud Twelve States, he had seen many things, yet immortal milk had long been extinct in the human realm; how could this youth have obtained such a treasure?
líng jiè xiū shì tóng yàng yǔ gǔ mó shì bù liǎng lì ， tā rú guǒ gǎn zhè yàng zuò ， jué duì zhǐ yǒu bèi nà xiē dà néng xiū shì wéi gōng zhì sǐ 。
灵界修士同样与古魔势不两立，他如果敢这样做，绝对只有被那些大能修士围攻致死。
The battle Lin Xuan fought left Wangtinglou equally shocked.
qiáng dí yǐ jīng miè chú 。
强敌已经灭除。
This was far beyond Separation Formation Initial-stage. His treasures and techniques were all top-notch, and his tactics were endless…
bù guò gāng cái nà yī zhàn zì jǐ chū lì tài duō ， lín xuān lüè yī chóu chú ， shēn shǒu zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yī xiǎo qiǎo de yù píng fēi lüè chū lái 。
不过刚才那一战自己出力太多，林轩略一踌躇，伸手在腰间一拍，一小巧的玉瓶飞掠出来。
Although he didn’t think the opponent could surpass him, he now considered them peers.
bá kāi píng sāi ， fāng xiāng sì yì ， qìn rén xīn pí ， wàng tíng lóu xiù le xiù bí zi ， liǎn shàng xiān shì lù chū máng rán zhī sè ， dàn hěn kuài ， jiù bèi bù kě sī yì suǒ dài tì le 。
拔开瓶塞，芳香四溢，沁人心脾，望亭楼嗅了嗅鼻子，脸上先是露出茫然之色，但很快，就被不可思议所代替了。
His gaze turned to the young woman beside him. Moon’s performance wasn’t particularly impressive, but the ghostly aura was something Wangtinglou couldn’t underestimate.
zuò wèi tiān yún shí èr zhōu dì yī gāo shǒu ， tā shén me dōng xī méi yǒu jiàn guò ， dàn wàn nián líng rǔ ， nà bú shì chuán shuō zhī wù ， zǎo jiù zài rén jiè miè jué zi de ？
做为天云十二州第一高手，他什么东西没有见过，但万年灵乳，那不是传说之物，早就在人界灭绝子的？
This thing wasn’t from the human realm; even if he couldn’t recognize it, there was a soul of Senior Dǐng Long in her dantian.
yǐ zì jǐ de shēn fèn ， yě bù céng shōu luó dào de bǎo wù ， zhè xiǎo zi ， jiū jìng cóng nǎ lǐ xún lái de ？
以自己的身份，也不曾收罗到的宝物，这小子，究竟从哪里寻来的？
That fellow, despite his flirtatious nature, was indeed a powerful existence in the Spirit Realm.
tài duō de yí huò ， gāng cái nà yī zhàn lín jǐng suǒ biǎo xiàn chū lái de shí lì yě tóng yàng ràng wàng tíng lóu zhèn hàn yǐ jí 。
太多的疑惑，刚才那一战林井所表现出来的实力也同样让望亭楼震撼以极。
The ghostly aura had caused much trouble for Spirit Realm cultivators during ancient battles. Wangtinglou knew this well; how could he not recognize it?
zhè nǎ lǐ xiàng lí hé chū qī ， fǎ bǎo 、 gōng fǎ 、 zhì móu ， wú bù shì shàng shàng zhī xuǎn ， hái yǒu tā nà céng chū bù qióng de shǒu jiào ……，…
这哪里像离合初期，法宝、功法、智谋，无不是上上之选，还有他那层出不穷的手教……，…
Amazed, he put away his smug expression and gave Wangtinglou some good advice.
suī rán wàng tíng lóu bù rèn wéi duì fāng néng shèng guò zì jǐ ， dàn xīn zhōng yǐ jiāng duì fāng dàng chéng tóng jí 。
虽然望亭楼不认为对方能胜过自己，但心中已将对方当成同级。
Lin Xuan raised his head, dropped a drop of immortal milk into his mouth, feeling the warmth in his dantian as abundant magical energy spread throughout.
tā de mù guāng yòu zhuǎn xiàng yī páng de shào nǚ ， píng xīn lái shuō ， yuè ér de biǎo xiàn dào méi yǒu tài duō kě quān kě diǎn zhī chù ， dàn nà guǐ shā yīn mò ， què ràng tíng lóu bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo xiǎo shì de 。
他的目光又转向一旁的少女，平心来说，月儿的表现倒没有太多可圈可点之处，但那鬼煞阴墨，却让亭楼不敢有分毫小视的。
One must always be wary. Although they had an oral agreement, Lin Xuan wouldn’t entrust his fate to Wangtinglou’s hands.
zhè dōng xī ， bú shì rén jiè zhī wù ， tā gù rán rèn bù chū ， rán ér zài qí dān tián zhī zhōng ， hái yǒu dǐng lóng zhēn rén de hún pò 。
这东西，不是人界之物，他固然认不出，然而在其丹田之中，还有鼎龙真人的魂魄。
With ample magical energy, he could continue negotiating with him.
nà jiā huo ， suī rán huā xīn le yī xiē ， xǐ huān tiáo xì měi nǚ ， dàn lùn shí lì ， què shí shì líng jiè yī wèi dà néng cún zài 。
那家伙，虽然花心了一些，喜欢调戏美女，但论实力，确实是灵界一位大能存在。
In the Soul Realm space, Tiǎo Xiǎojǐan’s expression changed rapidly—surprise, confusion, suspicion, anger, mockery. After a long while, it finally calmed down.
dāng nián de jiè miàn zhī zhàn ， guǐ shā yīn mò ràng líng jiè xiū shì chī zú le kǔ tóu ， diǎn jí shàng duō yǒu jì zǎi ， tā qǐ huì rèn bù chū 。
当年的界面之战，鬼煞阴墨让灵界修士吃足了苦头，典籍上多有记载，他岂会认不出。
He looked up at the shadow above his head disdainfully.
jīng yà zhī yú ， zì rán shōu qǐ pí lài de biǎo qíng ， hǎo hǎo de tí diǎn le tíng lóu jǐ jù 。
惊讶之余，自然收起皮癞的表情，好好的提点了亭楼几句。
Immortality?
ér lín xuān yǐ yáng qǐ tóu ， jiāng yī dī wàn nián líng rǔ dī rù zuǐ bā lǐ ， zhí jué dān tián zhōng yī nuǎn ， chōng pèi de líng lì dùn shí zài dān tián zhōng kuò sàn chū lái 。
而林轩已扬起头，将一滴万年灵乳滴入嘴巴里，直觉丹田中一暖，充沛的灵力顿时在丹田中扩散出来。
Such an enticing offer; do you think I’m stupid?
fáng rén zhī xīn bù kě wú ， suī rán yǔ tíng lóu yǒu zhe kǒu tóu shàng de xié yì ， dàn lín xuān qǐ huì jiāng zì jǐ de mìng yùn jiāo dào duì fāng de shǒu lǐ 。
防人之心不可无，虽然与亭楼有着口头上的协议，但林轩岂会将自己的命运交到对方的手里。
At just Separation Formation Initial-stage, he hadn’t even mastered flight to the Spirit Realm, let alone immortality.
bǎo chí chōng pèi de fǎ lì ， zhè cái yǒu zī běn yǔ duì fāng jì xù tán pàn xià qù 。
保持充沛的法力，这才有资本与对方继续谈判下去。
No matter how arrogant, he couldn’t dream of such a path. The idea that it could be achieved so easily was too low an estimation of his intelligence.
lìng yī biān ， hún niàn kōng jiān 。
另一边，魂念空间。
It’s like asking a beggar who can barely feed himself if they want to become the world's richest man. It’s absurd.
tián xiǎo jiàn de biǎo qíng wǔ cǎi biàn huàn ， jīng yà 、 máng rán 、 yí huò 、 fèn nù 、 jī cháo ， bù yī ér zú …”， guò le zú zú xiǎo bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， cái zhōng yú píng jìng xià qù le 。
田小剑的表情五彩变幻，惊讶、茫然、疑惑、愤怒、讥嘲，不一而足…”，过了足足小半盏茶的功夫，才终于平静下去了。
Tiǎo Xiǎojǐan wasn’t stupid; how could heaven drop such a gift?
tái qǐ tóu lú ， mǎn shě bù xiè xiàng tóu dǐng shàng kōng de nà xū yǐng wàng qù le 。
抬起头颅，满舍不屑像头顶上空的那虚影望去了。
"Why don't you believe me? Do you know who I am?"
chéng xiān ？
成仙？
"I don’t care what you are."
zhè yàng de yòu huò ， nǐ dāng běn shào yé shì shǎ guā me ？
这样的诱惑，你当本少爷是傻瓜么？
Tiǎo Xiǎojǐan’s impertinent words made the shadow silent for a long time. After sighing, he said: "A mere human cultivator; perhaps you haven’t heard of my name. In ancient times, I was the Demon Lord's Grand Commander."
zì jǐ cái qū qū lí hé ， lián fēi shēng líng jiè dōu méi yǒu bǎ wò ， jù lí chéng xiān ， hái yǒu shí wàn bā qiān lǐ yuǎn 。
自己才区区离合，连飞升灵界都没有把握，距离成仙，还有十万八千里远。
