“ bù zhī sǐ huó !“ lǎo mó de liǎn shàng lù chū bào nù zhī sè , yě bú jiàn tā yǒu shén me duō yú de dòng zuò , sì zhōu de tiān dì yuán qì , jiù fēng kuáng jù jí , yí gè huáng sè de guāng qiú , jiāng tā zhěng gè shēn xíng yǎn zhù 。
“不知死活!“老魔的脸上露出暴怒之色,也不见他有什么多余的动作,四周的天地元气,就疯狂聚集,一个黄色的光球,将他整个身形掩住。
"Careless! " the old demon's face showed intense rage. Without any additional movements, the surrounding primordial energy gathered wildly around him, enveloping his entire figure in a yellow light ball.
suí hòu , zhè wèi bù kě yī shì de dú lóng mó zǔ , jiù bèi bǎo wù léi huǒ jiāng qí yān mò , dàn chú le yǒu yǔ dǎ bā jiāo yì bān de mì jí shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , lǎo guài wù gēn běn jiù háo fā wú shāng de 。
随后,这位不可一世的毒龙魔祖,就被宝物雷火将其淹没,但除了有雨打芭蕉一般的密集声音传入耳朵,老怪物根本就毫发无伤的。
Then, this indomitable Demon King of Poison Dragons was submerged by the treasure item Lightning Fire, but apart from dense rain-like sounds entering his ears, the old monster remained unharmed.
suí hòu tā xiù páo yī fú , dà piàn hēi sè de guāng xiá fēi lüè ér chū , fēi dào zhōng tú , fēn chéng le shù bǎi gǔ , rú yǒu shēng mìng yì bān , xiàng zhe nà xiē xiū shì fēi le guò lái 。
随后他袖袍一拂,大片黑色的光霞飞掠而出,飞到中途,分成了数百股,如有生命一般,向着那些修士飞了过来。
Next, he flicked his sleeve, and large patches of black lightsunset glowflashed out. These split into hundreds of streams, as if alive, rushing towards the cultivators.
zhòng xiū dà hài , kě nà xiē guāng xiá sù dù tài kuài , tā men gēn běn duǒ bì bù jí , jiù bèi cóng tiān líng gài méi le jìn qù 。
众修大骇,可那些光霞速度太快,他们根本躲避不及,就被从天灵盖没了进去。
The other cultivators were greatly alarmed, but these lightsunset glow moved too fast for them to avoid. They vanished into their heads from the top of their skulls.
suí hòu tā men de liǎn shàng fú xiàn chū yī céng hēi qì , yǎn shén yě zài yī shùn jiān biàn dé mù rán qǐ lái 。
随后他们的脸上浮现出一层黑气,眼神也在一瞬间变得木然起来。
Soon, a layer of black mist appeared on their faces, and their eyes turned wooden in an instant.
“ zhè shì shén me ?”
“这是什么?”
"What is this?"
qí tā wèi bèi jī zhòng de xiū shì zài jīng yà zhī yú , yě dōu dà gǎn chà yì , kě jiē xià lái , nà xiē liǎn xiàn hēi qì de xiū shì , jū rán pīn mìng de xiàng tā men gōng jī 。
其他未被击中的修士在惊讶之余,也都大感诧异,可接下来,那些脸现黑气的修士,居然拼命的像他们攻击。
Other unhit cultivators, surprised by this, also felt astonished. However, those with black mists on their faces suddenly attacked them desperately.
yī shí zhī jiān , xíng shì dà luàn , yīn wèi biàn qǐ cāng chǔ , bù shǎo méi yǒu fǎn yìng guò lái de xiū xiān zhě dōu shēn shǒu yì chù , sǐ zài tóng bàn de tú dāo zhī xià le 。
一时之间,形势大乱,因为变起仓储,不少没有反应过来的修仙者都身首异处,死在同伴的屠刀之下了。
The situation became chaotic as many cultivators were decapitated or dismembered by their companions' attacks due to the sudden change.
ér lìng wài jī líng yī xiē de , zé jù zài yì qǐ , dǐ dǎng nà xiē hēi qì xiū shì de gōng jī 。
而另外机灵一些的,则聚在一起,抵挡那些黑气修士的攻击。
Others who were more perceptive gathered together, defending against these black mist cultivators.
“ nán dào shì duó shě ?”
“难道是夺舍?”
"Could it be possession?"
hóng yè xiān zi yī zhǐ diǎn qù , jiāng gōng jī zì jǐ de fēi jiàn dǎng kāi , dàn yù róng yǐ shì bīng hán dào le jí diǎn 。
红叶仙子一指点去,将攻击自己的飞剑挡开,但玉容已是冰寒到了极点。
Red Leaf Fairy flicked her finger, deflecting a flying sword aimed at her, but her jade-like face turned icy cold.
qí tā xiū shì de xiǎng fǎ yě chà bu duō , dàn hěn kuài dōu yáo yáo tóu fǒu le 。
其他修士的想法也差不多,但很快都摇摇头否了。
The other cultivators had similar thoughts, but soon shook their heads in disagreement.
zhè ge tuī cè tài huāng miù le , duó shě gù míng sī tóu , nǎi shì yī duì yī , jiù suàn shì dòng xuán qī de lǎo mó , yě méi yǒu kě néng tóng shí duó shě jǐ bǎi xiū xiān zhě 。
这个推测太荒谬了,夺舍顾名思头,乃是一对一,就算是洞玄期的老魔,也没有可能同时夺舍几百修仙者。
This theory was too absurd; possession, as its name suggests, is one-on-one. Even an old demon of the Profound Void stage would not be able to possess hundreds of cultivators simultaneously.
duì fāng shī zhǎn de , yīng gāi shì mǒu zhǒng kě yǐ zàn shí kòng zhì dī jiē xiū shì shén shí de kuǐ lěi mì shù , bù guò xiàn zài xiǎng zhè xiē shì méi yǒu yì yì de 。
对方施展的,应该是某种可以暂时控制低阶修士神识的傀儡秘术,不过现在想这些是没有意义的。
What the opponent used should be some puppetry secret technique that could temporarily control low-grade cultivators' spirit consciousness, but it wasn't worth thinking about now.
líng guāng cì mù , gè zhǒng jīng hóng zài tiān kōng zhōng hù xiāng jiāo zhī de duì hōng , dú lóng mó zǔ bù guò jǔ shǒu tóu zú , jiù ràng nà shù qiān xiū shì bù dé bù zì xiāng cán shā le 。
灵光刺目,各种惊虹在天空中互相交织的对轰,毒龙魔祖不过举手投足,就让那数千修士不得不自相残杀了。
Various dazzling lights clashed in the sky as the Demon King of Poison Dragons merely raised his hand and had thousands of cultivators turn on each other.
ér lìng yī biān ” lín xuān yǔ wàn shòu yě bù hǎo guò , duì fāng shí lì zhī lóu ” yuǎn yuǎn zài xiǎng xiàng zhī shàng 。
而另一边”林轩与万兽也不好过,对方实力之髅”远远在想象之上。
On the other side, Lin Xuan and Ten Thousand Beasts were not faring well either. The opponent's strength was far beyond their expectations.
yuán běn yǐ wéi duì fāng de fù shēn ** yǒu quē xiàn , kě lǎo mó jǔ shǒu tóu zú , què shī zhǎn chū gè zhǒng dà shén tōng yǔ mì shù , gēn běn jiù sī háo gù jì yě wú 。
原本以为对方的附身**有缺陷,可老魔举手投足,却施展出各种大神通与秘术,根本就丝毫顾忌也无。
Originally thinking that the demon's possession technique had flaws, but with every move the old monster made, he displayed various great divine techniques and secret arts without any hesitation.
nán dào shì zì jǐ cāi cè chū cuò ?
难道是自己猜测出错?
Could it be that his initial guess was wrong?
kě lín xuān zǒng jué de yǒu yí diǎn , lǎo mó rú guǒ zhēn yǒu xiàn zài biǎo xiàn de nà me qiáng ” kāi shǐ de shí hòu , gēn běn jiù bù yòng wán xīn jì shén me 。
可林轩总觉得有疑点,老魔如果真有现在表现的那么强”开始的时候,根本就不用玩心计什么。
But Lin Xuan felt something wasn't right. If the old monster truly showed such strength now, there would have been no need to play mind games at the beginning.
tā yí dìng yǒu ruò diǎn , kě xī zì jǐ zhǎo bù chū lái 。
他一定有弱点,可惜自己找不出来。
He must have a weakness, but Lin Xuan couldn’t find it.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò , lín xuān yǐ jīng zài xún jī tuō shēn le 。
脑海中念头转过,林轩已经在寻机脱身了。
With thoughts racing in his mind, Lin Xuan sought an opportunity to escape.
tā kě méi yǒu xīn qíng yǔ yī wèi dà néng xiū shì yìng pèng , dǎ xià qù , zì jǐ de shèng suàn zhe shí bù duō 。
他可没有心情与一位大能修士硬碰,打下去,自己的胜算着实不多。
He had no intention of directly confronting a great cultivator. His chances were slim.
“ wàn xiōng , zhè yàng xià qù nǐ wǒ chí zǎo huì bèi gè gè jī pò , yǔ qí shù shǒu dài bì ” bù rú pīn mìng bó yī bó 。” lín xuān zuǐ chún wēi dòng de qiǎo rán chuán yīn le 。
“万兄,这样下去你我迟早会被各个击破,与其束手待毙”不如拼命搏一搏。”林轩嘴唇微动的悄然传音了。
"Brother Wan, if we continue like this, sooner or later, both of us will be defeated one by one. Instead of waiting for death, let's fight together." Lin Xuan whispered silently.
“ hēng , nǐ mò fēi yǒu shén me zhǔ yì me ?” wàn shòu lěng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , suī rán cǐ shí cǐ kè , liǎng rén shì tóng yī zhèn xiàn de , dàn duì yú lín xuān , wàn shòu zì rán méi yǒu shén me hǎo liǎn sè 。
“哼,你莫非有什么主意么?”万兽冷冷的声音传入耳朵,虽然此时此刻,两人是同一阵线的,但对于林轩,万兽自然没有什么好脸色。
"Hmph, do you have any plan?" The cold voice of Ten Thousand Beasts entered his ears. Although they were on the same side now, Ten Thousand Beasts naturally had no good feelings towards Lin Xuan.
kǒu qì lěng dàn yǐ jí , bù guò zhè diǎn xiǎo jié lín xuān dāng rán bú huì zài yì , qīng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ :“ wàn xiōng ” yī huì er nǐ yòng niú shǒu shé shēn de guài wù xī yǐn lǎo mó de zhù yì , zuì hǎo néng gòu qiān zhì zhù tā jǐ xī , rán hòu lín mǒu chōng shàng qián qù , gěi tā yī jì tōng tiān líng bǎo , zhè lǎo mó jiù suàn shì dòng xuán qī de yāo zú jù xiāo , dàn bì jìng zhǐ shì qū qū yí gè fù shēn zhī tǐ , bù kě néng shì líng bǎo wèi wú wù , nà shí hòu wǒ men zài yì qǐ gōng jī , zhè shì rú jīn wéi yī de qǔ shèng zhī jī 。”
口气冷淡以极,不过这点小节林轩当然不会在意,清冷的声音传入耳朵里:“万兄”一会儿你用牛首蛇身的怪物吸引老魔的注意,最好能够牵制住他几息,然后林某冲上前去,给他一记通天灵宝,这老魔就算是洞玄期的妖族巨枭,但毕竟只是区区一个附身之体,不可能视灵宝为无物,那时候我们再一起攻击,这是如今唯一的取胜之机。”
His tone was extremely cold, but Lin Xuan didn't care about such trivial matters. A clear voice entered his ears: "Brother Wan, you distract the old monster with the two-headed creature, and try to hold him back for a few breaths. Then I'll rush forward and hit him with a divine treasure. Even though he's a demon of the Profound Void stage, he is just an incarnate body, so he can't ignore divine treasures. We can then attack together; this is our only chance."
“ qiān zhì zhù lǎo mó , nà běn zūn zhè huà shēn qǐ bù shì xiōng duō jí shǎo le ?” wàn shòu zūn zhě lěng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù yǒu ěr duǒ , míng xiǎn yǒu jǐ fēn bù yuàn yì de 。
“牵制住老魔,那本尊这化身岂不是凶多吉少了?”万兽尊者冷冷的声音传入有耳朵,明显有几分不愿意的。
"By holding back the old monster, wouldn't his avatar be in grave danger?" Ten Thousand Beasts' cold voice entered Lin Xuan's ears, clearly unwilling.
“ dào yǒu zhè huà hé yì , lín mǒu yào zuò de shì qíng ” nán dào jiù yì diǎn fēng xiǎn yě wú , bù rù hǔ xué , yān dé hǔ zi ” nǐ lián qū qū yī jù huà shēn dōu bù shě dé , dào shí hòu bèi lǎo mó gè gè jī pò ” zhǐ pà lián hún pò dū huì bèi tā gěi liàn huà diào le 。”
“道友这话何意,林某要做的事情”难道就一点风险也无,不入虎穴,焉得虎子”你连区区一具化身都不舍得,到时候被老魔各个击破”只怕连魂魄都会被他给炼化掉了。”
"What do you mean by that? What I need to do has no risk at all. If one doesn't enter a tiger's den, how can one get a tiger's cub? You won't even sacrifice this avatar, and if the old monster defeats us one by one, your soul might be refined away."
“ hǎo ba !”
“好吧!”
"Alright!"
wàn shòu zūn zhě suī rán bù shě , dàn yě míng bái , lín xuān suǒ shuō , nǎi shì zhèng lǐ , rú guǒ lián zì jǐ dōu mò luò , huà shēn hái yǒu zài me ?
万兽尊者虽然不舍,但也明白,林轩所说,乃是正理,如果连自己都陌落,化身还有再么?
Although Ten Thousand Beasts was reluctant, he understood that what Lin Xuan said was right. If not for him, who would dare to risk their own avatar?
zhōng yú tù qiáng dā yìng le 。
终于兔强答应了。
Finally, he reluctantly agreed.
lín xuān dà xǐ :“ nà jiù yī jì xíng shì 。”
林轩大喜:“那就依计行事。”
Lin Xuan was delighted: "Then let's follow the plan."
wàn shòu zūn zhě yī shēng bào hē , shuāng shǒu fǎ jué dǎ chū , nà niú shǒu shé shēn de guài wù , jū rán yòu zhǎng chū le yí gè tóu lú , xiū wèi yě zài chà nà jiān kuáng shēng , yóu lí hé chū qī , bào shēng dào le zhōng qī de jìng dì 。
万兽尊者一声暴喝,双手法诀打出,那牛首蛇身的怪物,居然又长出了一个头颅,修为也在刹那间狂升,由离合初期,爆升到了中期的境地。
With a loud roar, Ten Thousand Beasts cast his hand seals. The two-headed creature grew another head and its cultivation level skyrocketed from Separation stage Initial to Intermediate in an instant.
rán ér miàn róng shàng mǎn shì tòng kǔ , shēn tǐ biǎo miàn , yě yǒu sī sī hēi xuè shèn chū , xiǎn rán shì shǐ yòng le mǒu zhǒng mó dào mì shù , xiū wèi duǎn shí jiān nèi bào zhǎng , dàn shēn tǐ yǐ chéng shòu bú zhù , jí biàn lǎo mó bù chū shǒu , yòng bù liǎo duō jiǔ , zhè yāo shòu huà shēn , yě huì zì jǐ bào tǐ ér wáng de 。
然而面容上满是痛苦,身体表面,也有丝丝黑血渗出,显然是使用了某种魔道秘术,修为短时间内暴涨,但身体已承受不住,即便老魔不出手,用不了多久,这妖兽化身,也会自己爆体而亡的。
However, it looked in pain, with black blood seeping out of its body surface, clearly using some demon technique to boost its cultivation level drastically but at the cost of its physical body. Without the old monster's intervention, this demon avatar would self-destruct soon.
wàn shòu zūn zhě yī zhǐ diǎn chū , nà yāo shòu jiāng shēn zi yī pán , xiàng zhe dú lóng jī shè guò qù , tóng shí zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu , yí gè zuǐ bā lǐ pēn chū bái méng méng de hán wù , lìng wài yí gè zuǐ bā zhōng pēn chū lái de , què shì hēi hóng sè de mó huǒ 。
万兽尊者一指点出,那妖兽将身子一盘,向着毒龙激射过去,同时张开血盆大口,一个嘴巴里喷出白蒙蒙的寒雾,另外一个嘴巴中喷出来的,却是黑红色的魔火。
Ten Thousand Beasts pointed his finger, and the creature curled up, rushing towards the Poison Dragon with a bloodthirsty roar. It opened its mouth wide, spewing white frosty mist from one mouth and black-red demonic flames from another.
lián tiān jiē dì , shēng shì jīng rén yǐ jí , xiàng zhe lǎo mó chōng le guò qù 。
连天接地,声势惊人以极,向着老魔冲了过去。
The sound was deafening as it charged at the old monster.
dú lóng mó zǔ liǎn shàng lù chū yì wài zhī sè , jiāng yī zhī gān kū de yòu shǒu shēn chū , suí hòu bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le , pī lǐ pā lā de gǔ gé bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ , tā nà chái bàng bān cū xì de yòu shǒu , huáng máng dà fàng , jū rán biàn chéng le jiāo lóng de lì zhuǎ 。
毒龙魔祖脸上露出意外之色,将一只干枯的右手伸出,随后不可思议的一幕发生了,噼里啪啦的骨骼爆裂声传入耳朵,他那柴棒般粗细的右手,黄芒大放,居然变成了蛟龙的利爪。
The Demon King of Poison Dragons showed surprise on his face as he stretched out a dry hand. An unbelievable scene followed: cracking sounds filled Lin Xuan's ears, and his thick, rod-like right hand glowed yellow, transforming into a dragon's sharp claws.
cháng zú yǒu shí zhàng yú , biǎo miàn bèi hēi sè de lín piàn bāo guǒ , zhuǎ zi jiān ruì dào jí chù , jī ròu qiú jié , kàn shàng qù , chōng mǎn le yī wǎng wú qián de bào fā lì 。
长足有十丈余,表面被黑色的鳞片包裹,爪子尖锐到极处,肌肉虬结,看上去,充满了一往无前的爆发力。
Ten feet long, covered in black scales, with razor-sharp nails, it looked like an unstoppable force.
yāo huà !
妖化!
Demonification!
zhèng què de shuō , shì zhè lǎo guài wù xiǎn chū yuán xíng lái le , bié kàn tā xiàn zài yī fù “ ruò bù jīn fēng ” de yàng zi , tā de běn tǐ , què shì yī tóu shēn cháng chāo guò le bǎi zhàng de dú jiāo 。
正确的说,是这老怪物显出原型来了,别看他现在一副“弱不禁风”的样子,他的本体,却是一头身长超过了百丈的毒蛟。
More accurately, this old monster revealed its true form. Despite appearing weak now, his original body was a venomous water dragon over a hundred feet long.
lǎo mó liě zuǐ yī xiào , lù chū yī kǒu sàn fà zhe è chòu de huáng yá , nà biàn huà hòu de jiāo lóng lì zhuǎ bào rán shēn cháng , hěn hěn de duì zhe nà shuāng tóu yāo shòu zhuā xià 。
老魔咧嘴一笑,露出一口散发着恶臭的黄牙,那变化后的蛟龙利爪暴然伸长,狠狠的对着那双头妖兽抓下。
The old monster grinned, revealing yellow teeth that smelled of rot. The transformed dragon's claws suddenly stretched out and fiercely grabbed the two-headed creature.
bù guǎn shì bái sè de hán wù , hái shì hēi hóng sè de mó huǒ , dōu méi yǒu rèn hé xiào guǒ , jǐn guǎn jǐn jǐn shì fù shēn zhī tǐ , dàn bèi tā yāo huà hòu fáng yù yī jiù fēi cháng kě pà 。
不管是白色的寒雾,还是黑红色的魔火,都没有任何效果,尽管仅仅是附身之体,但被他妖化后防御依旧非常可怕。
Neither the white frosty mist nor the black-red demonic flames had any effect. Even though it was just an incarnate body, his demonification greatly enhanced its defense.
qiě sù dù yě kuài dào bù kě sī yì , nà yāo shòu zhǐ jué sì zhōu kōng qì yī jǐn , yī gǔ wú xíng jù lì mò míng de chū xiàn , jiāng xī de xíng dòng jìn gù 。
且速度也快到不可思议,那妖兽只觉四周空气一紧,一股无形巨力莫名的出现,将牺的行动禁锢。
Moreover, its speed was unbelievable. The creature felt the air tighten as a mysterious invisible force immobilized him.
yāo shòu pīn mìng zhēng zhá , dàn wéi shí yǐ wǎn , nà jiāo lóng zhī zhǎo lái dào le tā de miàn qián , sān gēn cū zhuàng de jiāo zhǐ yī hé , yǐ jiāng xī de qī cùn láo láo zhì zhù 。
妖兽拼命挣扎,但为时已晚,那蛟龙之爪来到了他的面前,三根粗壮的蛟趾一合,已将牺的七寸牢牢制住。
The creature struggled desperately but too late. The dragon's claws arrived before his face, and three thick dragon toes clamped down on his neck, pinning it tightly.
wǔ zhǎo jīn lóng , bù guò yǎn qián jǐn jǐn shì yī dòng xuán qī de dú jiāo ér yǐ , dàn nà sān gè jiāo zhǐ , lì liàng yě dà dé bù kě sī yì , fēng ruì de zhǐ jiǎ , cì rù yāo shòu de qī cùn zhī chù , dà gǔ dà gǔ de hēi sè xuè yè pēn yǒng ér chū 。
五爪金龙,不过眼前仅仅是一洞玄期的毒蛟而已,但那三个蛟趾,力量也大得不可思议,锋锐的指甲,刺入妖兽的七寸之处,大股大股的黑色血液喷涌而出。
Three-clawed golden dragon, this was merely a Profound Void stage venomous water dragon in front of them, but those three toes were incredibly powerful. Sharp nails pierced the creature’s neck, causing black blood to gush out in large quantities.
wàn shòu zūn zhě de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī tòng xī zhī sè , dàn suí hòu , lì sè yī xiǎn , nà shé xíng kàn shū jiù shǒu }} dǎ dī shuāng tóu guài wù bù zài zhēng zhá , fǎn ér jiāng shēn zi yī pán , jiāng dú lóng lǎo zǔ wéi zài qí jiān 。
万兽尊者的脸上露出一丝痛惜之色,但随后,厉色一显,那蛇形看书就手}}打的双头怪物不再挣扎,反而将身子一盘,将毒龙老祖围在其间。
Ten Thousand Beasts' face showed a touch of pity, but then his expression turned fierce. The snake-like body of the two-headed creature no longer struggled; instead, it curled up and surrounded the old Demon King of Poison Dragons.
mù dì hěn xiǎn rán , zhēng qǔ shí jiān 。
目的很显然,争取时间。
The obvious goal was to buy time.
“ jiù shì cǐ kè , lín dào yǒu , tài dòng shǒu !” yǎn jiàn zhōng yú zàn shí tuō zhù le lǎo mó , wàn shòu zūn zhě lián máng chēng mù dà hē , zhè kě shì pīn le yí gè huà shēn bú yào , hǎo bù róng yì cái zhēng qǔ lái de shí jī , jué bù róng cuò guò dì 。
“就是此刻,林道友,太动手!”眼见终于暂时拖住了老魔,万兽尊者连忙瞠目大喝,这可是拼了一个化身不要,好不容易才争取来的时机,绝不容错过地。
"Now, Lin Daoist, attack!" Seeing that he finally temporarily held off the old monster, Ten Thousand Beasts shouted loudly. This was a chance won by sacrificing his avatar, and it couldn't be missed.
"Careless! " the old demon's face showed intense rage. Without any additional movements, the surrounding primordial energy gathered wildly around him, enveloping his entire figure in a yellow light ball.
Then, this indomitable Demon King of Poison Dragons was submerged by the treasure item Lightning Fire, but apart from dense rain-like sounds entering his ears, the old monster remained unharmed.
Next, he flicked his sleeve, and large patches of black lightsunset glowflashed out. These split into hundreds of streams, as if alive, rushing towards the cultivators.
The other cultivators were greatly alarmed, but these lightsunset glow moved too fast for them to avoid. They vanished into their heads from the top of their skulls.
Soon, a layer of black mist appeared on their faces, and their eyes turned wooden in an instant.
"What is this?"
Other unhit cultivators, surprised by this, also felt astonished. However, those with black mists on their faces suddenly attacked them desperately.
The situation became chaotic as many cultivators were decapitated or dismembered by their companions' attacks due to the sudden change.
Others who were more perceptive gathered together, defending against these black mist cultivators.
"Could it be possession?"
Red Leaf Fairy flicked her finger, deflecting a flying sword aimed at her, but her jade-like face turned icy cold.

Could it be that his initial guess was wrong?
But Lin Xuan felt something wasn't right. If the old monster truly showed such strength now, there would have been no need to play mind games at the beginning.
He must have a weakness, but Lin Xuan couldn’t find it.
With thoughts racing in his mind, Lin Xuan sought an opportunity to escape.
He had no intention of directly confronting a great cultivator. His chances were slim.
"Brother Wan, if we continue like this, sooner or later, both of us will be defeated one by one. Instead of waiting for death, let's fight together." Lin Xuan whispered silently.
"Hmph, do you have any plan?" The cold voice of Ten Thousand Beasts entered his ears. Although they were on the same side now, Ten Thousand Beasts naturally had no good feelings towards Lin Xuan.

Ten Thousand Beasts pointed his finger, and the creature curled up, rushing towards the Poison Dragon with a bloodthirsty roar. It opened its mouth wide, spewing white frosty mist from one mouth and black-red demonic flames from another.
The sound was deafening as it charged at the old monster.
"Die!"
The Demon King of Poison Dragons showed surprise on his face as he stretched out a dry hand. An unbelievable scene followed: cracking sounds filled Lin Xuan's ears, and his thick, rod-like right hand glowed yellow, transforming into a dragon's sharp claws.
Ten feet long, covered in black scales, with razor-sharp nails, it looked like an unstoppable force.
Demonification!
More accurately, this old monster revealed its true form. Despite appearing weak now, his original body was a venomous water dragon over a hundred feet long.
The old monster grinned, revealing yellow teeth that smelled of rot. The transformed dragon's claws suddenly stretched out and fiercely grabbed the two-headed creature.
Neither the white frosty mist nor the black-red demonic flames had any effect. Even though it was just an incarnate body, his demonification greatly enhanced its defense.
Moreover, its speed was unbelievable. The creature felt the air tighten as a mysterious invisible force immobilized him.
The creature struggled desperately but too late. The dragon's claws arrived before his face, and three thick dragon toes clamped down on his neck, pinning it tightly.
Three-clawed golden dragon, this was merely a Profound Void stage venomous water dragon in front of them, but those three toes were incredibly powerful. Sharp nails pierced the creature’s neck, causing black blood to gush out in large quantities.
Ten Thousand Beasts' face showed a touch of pity, but then his expression turned fierce. The snake-like body of the two-headed creature no longer struggled; instead, it curled up and surrounded the old Demon King of Poison Dragons.
The obvious goal was to buy time.
"Now, Lin Daoist, attack!" Seeing that he finally temporarily held off the old monster, Ten Thousand Beasts shouted loudly. This was a chance won by sacrificing his avatar, and it couldn't be missed.
