zhàn zài yī páng de lín xuān ， sī háo méi yǒu yóu yù de dā yìng xià lái 。
站在一旁的林轩，丝毫没有犹豫的答应下来。
Lin Xuan stood by, showing no hesitation in agreeing.
suí hòu yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， hěn hěn de xiàng xià huī là xià qù ， yī dào cuǐ càn de yín sè jiàn qì ， cháng zú yǒu shí zhàng yú ， shēng shì jīng rén yǐ jí ， hěn hěn de xiàng zhe lǎo mó pī le guò qù 。
随后右手抬起，狠狠的向下挥落下去，一道璀璨的银色剑气，长足有十丈余，声势惊人以极，狠狠的向着老魔劈了过去。
He then raised his right hand and swung it forcefully downward, releasing a dazzling silver sword energy that stretched over ten zhang (about 33 feet). The momentum was astonishing as the sword energy slashed at the old demon.
wàn shòu zūn kàn jiàn le ， xīn zhōng yī xǐ ， shāo hòu què yòu liú lù chū yī sī yí huò zhī yì ， zhè tōng tiān líng bǎo de wēi lì ， yǔ zì jǐ yuán xiān yù jì de xiāng bǐ ， zěn me le zhè me duō ？
万兽尊看见了，心中一喜，稍后却又流露出一丝疑惑之意，这通天灵宝的威力，与自己原先预计的相比，怎么了这么多？
Seeing this, the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts felt a surge of joy, but soon showed a hint of doubt. Why did the divine treasure's power differ so much from his initial expectations?
zhè kě yuǎn yuǎn bù zú yǐ miè shā lǎo mó ， tā bù yóu de yǒu xiē jīng yí de zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， què xiàn lín xuān hún shēn qīng máng yī shǎn ， yǐ cóng yuán dì xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
这可远远不足以灭杀老魔，他不由得有些惊疑的转过头颅，却现林轩浑身青芒一闪，已从原地消失不见。
This wasn't enough to kill the old demon; Lin Xuan turned his head and noticed that he had vanished in a flash of green light.
suí hòu wàn shòu shēn cè ” kōng jiān bō dòng yì qǐ ， lín xuān zhòu rán xiǎn xiàn 。
随后万兽身侧”空间波动一起，林轩骤然显现。
Then, a spatial fluctuation appeared beside Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts as Lin Xuan suddenly reappeared.
“ wàn xiōng ， líng bǎo de wēi lì ， bù zú yǐ miè shā lǎo mó ， wǒ men zài lián shǒu jìn gōng 。”
“万兄，灵宝的威力，不足以灭杀老魔，我们在联手进攻。”
"Brother Wan, the divine treasure's power isn't sufficient to kill the old demon. Let's attack together."
lín xuān liǎn shàng dài zhe yī sī ào nǎo zhī sè ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī duì cuǐ càn de yín huán fēi lüè ér chū ， shuāng shǒu wò zhù ， jiāng páng bó de fǎ lì zhù rù 。
林轩脸上带着一丝懊恼之色，袖袍一拂，一对璀璨的银环飞掠而出，双手握住，将磅礴的法力注入。
Lin Xuan's face showed signs of frustration as he flicked his sleeves and two radiant silver rings flew out. He gripped them and injected a torrent of magical energy.
wàn shòu zūn kàn jiàn le ， yě yí xīn jǐn qù ， àn xiào zì jǐ tài guò jǐn shèn le xiē ， rú jīn dà dí dāng qián ， duì fāng zhǐ yào bù xiǎng yǔn luò ， yòu zěn me kě néng qǐ èr xīn ne ？
万兽尊看见了，也疑心尽去，暗笑自己太过谨慎了些，如今大敌当前，对方只要不想陨落，又怎么可能起二心呢？
The Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts saw this, dispelling any doubts. He chuckled at his own overcaution; with such an enemy present, how could the other party have any second thoughts about not wanting to die?
tā yě bù zài duō shuō ， zhāng kāi dà kǒu ， pēn chū yī kǒu bīng lán sè de fēi dāo ， dān shǒu fǎ jué biàn huàn ， bù tíng de jiāng líng lì zhù rù qí jiān 。
他也不再多说，张开大口，喷出一口冰蓝色的飞刀，单手法诀变幻，不停的将灵力注入其间。
He didn't say more, opened his mouth, and spat out a blue flying knife. His single-handed technique changed rapidly as he continuously injected spiritual energy.
jīng tiān dòng dì de dà jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yuǎn chù dú lóng lǎo zǔ suǒ zài zhī chù ， hēi yā yā de wù qì jiāng zhěng jīn tiān kōng dōu zhē bì zhù le ， shēng shì jīng rén yǐ jí ， suí hòu xuè máng zhà xiàn shòu zūn zhě liǎn sè yī bái ， tā nà yāo shòu huà shēn yǐ bèi duì fāng sī liè chéng le liǎng bàn 。
惊天动地的大叫声传入耳朵，远处毒龙老祖所在之处，黑压压的雾气将整今天空都遮蔽住了，声势惊人以极，随后血芒乍现兽尊者脸色一白，他那妖兽化身已被对方撕裂成了两半。
A deafening roar echoed through the air. The dense fog from the old demon's lair obscured the sky, its momentum shocking. Then, silver sword energy suddenly appeared. The Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts' face turned pale; his demonic avatar had been torn in half by the other party.
dàn yín sè jiàn qì jǐn suí ér zhì ， dú lóng lǎo zǔ yě qióng yú yìng fù ， xiàn zài què shí shì lián shǒu gōng jī de hǎo shí kè ， zhǐ bù guò néng chú diào lǎo mó de jī huì shí zài shì bù dà de 。
但银色剑气紧随而至，毒龙老祖也穷于应付，现在确实是联手攻击的好时刻，只不过能除掉老魔的机会实在是不大的。
But the silver sword energy followed closely behind, leaving the old demon struggling to defend. This was indeed a good time for joint attack, but the chance of eliminating the old demon was slim.
bù guò ， yǐ bié wú xuǎn zé 。
不过，已别无选择。
However, there was no choice.
wàn shòu zūn zhě bù dé bù yào jǐn yá guān ， zhǔn bèi suí hòu de zhāo shù 。
万兽尊者不得不要紧牙关，准备随后的招数。
The Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts gritted his teeth and prepared for the next move.
lín xuān de biǎo qíng yě chà bu duō ， zhǐ bù guò tā móu dǐ shēn chù ， què yǒu yī sī yīn sēn de guāng máng shǎn guò 。
林轩的表情也差不多，只不过他眸底深处，却有一丝阴森的光芒闪过。
Lin Xuan's expression mirrored this, though a sinister light flashed in his eyes.
yǎn kàn yín sè jiàn qì yǐ lái dào lǎo mó shēn qián sān chǐ zhī chù ， yǐ dú lóng mó zǔ de xiāo zhāng yě bù dé bù tíng xià shǒu lái yìng fù 。
眼看银色剑气已来到老魔身前三尺之处，以毒龙魔祖的嚣张也不得不停下手来应付。
As the silver sword energy approached within three feet of the old demon, even the arrogant old demon had to pause its attack.
lín xuān de bèi hòu ， tū rán jīn máng dà qǐ ， luó tiān fǎ xiàng bèi gǎn qīng xī ， nà shí bā tiáo shǒu bì yì qǐ lì ， ná zhù le wàn shòu de sì zhī tóu lú ， yǐ jí shēn tǐ qí tā yī xiē yào hài zhī chù 。
林轩的背后，突然金芒大起，罗天法相倍感清晰，那十八条手臂一起力，拿住了万兽的四肢头颅，以及身体其他一些要害之处。
Suddenly, golden light surged behind Lin Xuan. The Heavenly Law Form became clearer as the eighteen arms grabbed Ten Thousand Beasts' limbs and head, along with other vital points.
fǎ lì zhù rù ， jiāng duì fāng de shén tōng zàn qiě jìn gù 。
法力注入，将对方的神通暂且禁锢。
He injected magical energy, temporarily restraining his opponent's abilities.
“ lín lǎo mó ， nǐ ……”
“林老魔，你……”
"Old Demon Lin, you..."
wàn shòu zūn zhě yòu jīng yòu nù ， mǎn liǎn de hài rán zhī sè wàn xiǎng bú dào ， zài zhè guān jiàn shí kè ” lín xuān jū rán fǎn shuǐ le ， nán dào tā yǔ nà dú lóng lǎo zǔ ， jū rán shì yī huǒ ？
万兽尊者又惊又怒，满脸的骇然之色万想不到，在这关键时刻”林轩居然反水了，难道他与那毒龙老祖，居然是一伙？
The Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts was both shocked and angry. He couldn't believe that at this critical moment, Lin Xuan had betrayed them. Could he be working with the old demon?
miàn duì duì fāng de chì guì ， lín xuān què fǎng fú méi yǒu tīng jiàn shì de ， fǎ xiàng yī lì ， jiāng wàn shòu gāo gāo jǔ qǐ ， rán hòu hěn hěn de xiàng zhe duì miàn pāo le guò qù 。
面对对方的斥贵，林轩却仿佛没有听见似的，法相一力，将万兽高高举起，然后狠狠的向着对面抛了过去。
Ignoring the other party's rebuke, Lin Xuan used his Law Form to lift Ten Thousand Beasts high before hurling him towards the old demon.
jìng yǐ wàn shòu zuò wéi wǔ qì ， zá xiàng lǎo mó 。
竟以万兽作为武器，砸像老魔。
He used Ten Thousand Beasts as a weapon, smashing it against the old demon.
zhè yì wài biàn gù ， suǒ yǒu de xiū xiān zhě dōu jīng dāi le ， lián dú lóng lǎo zǔ dǐ dǎng jiàn qì zhī yú ， liǎn shàng yě mǎn shì è rán zhī yì 。
这意外变故，所有的修仙者都惊呆了，连毒龙老祖抵挡剑气之余，脸上也满是愕然之意。
This unexpected turn left all cultivators stunned. Even the old dragon demon was taken aback by this sudden development.
tā xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， zì jǐ yǔ lín xuān kě shì sī háo guān xì yě wú 。
他心中有数，自己与林轩可是丝毫关系也无。
He knew he had no connection with Lin Xuan.
zhè zi huàn shī xīn fēng le ？
这子患失心疯了？
Had this person gone mad?
ér lín xuān què bù guǎn zhè me duō ， zài jiāng wàn shòu tóu chū de yī kè ， tā jiù shēn xíng yī shǎn ， jiāng jiǔ tiān wēi bù shī zhǎn chū lái ， chū xiàn zài le qiān zhàng yǐ wài 。
而林轩却不管这么多，在将万兽投出的一刻，他就身形一闪，将九天微步施展出来，出现在了千丈以外。
But Lin Xuan didn't care; at the moment of throwing Ten Thousand Beasts, he flashed away and used Nine Heaven Microsteps to appear a thousand feet away.
jù lí hóng yè xiān zi yǐ jīng bù yuǎn 。
距离红叶仙子已经不远。
Approaching Red Leaf Fairy wasn't far now.
yī míng mǎn liǎn hēi qì de yuán yīng xiū shì chū xiàn zài le miàn qián 。
一名满脸黑气的元婴修士出现在了面前。
A dark-faced婴灵 cultivator appeared before him.
“ gǔn qì ！”
“滚弃！”
"Get lost!"
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， shù shí dào jiàn qì yú yóu ér chū ， yī fēn wèi sān ” suí hòu fēng kuáng bào zhǎng de xiàng zhe duì fāng zǎn cì guò lái 。
林轩袖袍一拂，数十道剑气鱼游而出，一分为三”随后疯狂暴涨的向着对方攒刺过来。
Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves, releasing dozens of sword energies that split into three and rushed towards the opponent with frenzied speed.
lín xuān de shí lì bú yòng shuō ， yī míng yuán yīng xiū shì rú hé dǐ dǎng dé zhù ， qǐng kè zhī jiān ， jiù bèi dǎ dé qiān chuāng bǎi kǒng ” jī hū méi yǒu dān wù shén me gōng fu ， lín xuān jiù lái dào le hóng yè xiān zi de shēn cè 。
林轩的实力不用说，一名元婴修士如何抵挡得住，顷刻之间，就被打得千疮百孔”几乎没有耽误什么功夫，林轩就来到了红叶仙子的身侧。
Without saying anything, Lin Xuan used his power to lift Ten Thousand Beasts high before throwing him at the old demon.
“ dà gē ！”
“大哥！”
Red Leaf Fairy's face brightened. She was the only one who didn't find this strange. She raised her jade hand, revealing a blood-red talisman in her palm.
hóng yè liǎn sè yī xǐ ， duì yú lín xuān de dào xíng nì shī tā shì wéi yī méi yǒu gǎn dào qí guài dì ， yù ” shǒu tái qǐ ， jiāo nèn de zhǎng xīn zhōng chū xiàn le yī zhāng xuè hóng sè de fú zhuàn 。
红叶脸色一喜，对于林轩的倒行逆施她是唯一没有感到奇怪地，玉”手抬起，娇嫩的掌心中出现了一张血红色的符篆。
The center of the talisman depicted a large skull with many symbols around it, and those runes looked eerily similar to white bones.
fú zhuàn zhōng xīn ， huì zhì zhe yī zhāng dà dà de kū lóu tóu zhōu hái yǒu xǔ duō fú zhòu ， ér nà xiē fú wén yě gǔ guài yǐ jí ， kàn shàng qù jìng yǔ bái sēn sēn de hái gǔ xiāng sì 。
符篆中心，绘制着一张大大的骷髅头周还有许多符咒，而那些符文也古怪以极，看上去竟与白森森的骸骨相似。
Red Leaf Fairy took a deep breath and moved her fingers rapidly in the air, forming several hand seals. Then she opened her lips slightly and spat out a drop of blood.
hóng yè xiān zi xī le kǒu qì ， liǎng shǒu shí zhǐ huàng dòng bù yǐ ， zài xū kōng zhōng jié chū yī dào yī dào de fǎ yìn ， suí hòu tán kǒu wēi qǐ ， yī dào jīng xuè pēn le chū qù 。
红叶仙子吸了口气，两手十指晃动不已，在虚空中结出一道一道的法印，随后檀口微启，一道精血喷了出去。
Her face turned pale; she had lost much of her true essence energy.
cǐ nǚ liǎn sè yī bái ， kàn lái shì sǔn shī le bù shǎo běn mìng zhēn yuán 。
此女脸色一白，看来是损失了不少本命真元。
The strange talisman ignited on its own, transforming into a crimson flame.
ér nà guǐ yì de fú zhuàn zhōng yú wú fēng zì rán ， huà wèi yī dào xuè sè de huǒ yàn 。
而那诡异的符篆终于无风自燃，化为一道血色的火焰。
Meanwhile, the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts was filled with sorrow and anger, wishing to tear Lin Xuan apart. His magical energy was restrained, and he could only watch helplessly as he approached the old demon. But just then, he felt that the restrictions placed by Lin Xuan had been lifted.
ér lìng yī biān shòu zūn zhě bēi fèn jiāo jí ， hèn bù dé jiāng lín xuān chōu jīn bá gǔ ， hún shēn de fǎ lì bèi jìn gù ， yǎn kàn jù lí lǎo mó zhǐ shèng xià shù zhàng yuǎn le ， suī bù gān yǐ jí ， yě bù dé bù bì mù dài sǐ 。 ér jiù zài zhè shí ， tā tū rán gǎn jué lín xuān zhòng xià de jìn zhì jiě chú shòu suī yǒu xiē chà yì ， dàn zì rán bù kěn fàng guò zhè yī xiàn shēng jī 。
而另一边兽尊者悲愤交集，恨不得将林轩抽筋拔骨，浑身的法力被禁锢，眼看距离老魔只剩下数丈远了，虽不甘以极，也不得不闭目待死。而就在这时，他突然感觉林轩种下的禁制解除兽虽有些诧异，但自然不肯放过这一线生机。
Though surprised, he refused to let this chance slip away.
hún shēn hēi máng dà qǐ ， xiǎng yào xiàng páng biān duǒ qù ， kě yǐ jīng lái bù jí ， dú lóng mó zǔ nà kě pà de jiāo zhuā hěn hěn de cháo tā dāng tóu ná xià 。
浑身黑芒大起，想要向旁边躲去，可已经来不及，毒龙魔祖那可怕的蛟抓狠狠的朝他当头拿下。
His body glowed with black light as he tried to dodge, but it was too late. The old dragon demon's terrifying tentacle descended upon him.
cǐ shí tā yǐ xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， zì jǐ wán quán shì bèi lín xuān dāng qiāng shǐ le ， duì fāng cóng tí chū lián shǒu kāi shǐ ， jiù bù huài hǎo yì ， tā jìn gù zì jǐ de fǎ lì ， shí jī ná niē dé yě shì jí hǎo dì ， mù dì shì bù ràng zì jǐ táo zǒu ， dàn zài jiē jìn lǎo mó de shí hòu yòu néng huī fù shén tōng 。
此时他已心中有数，自己完全是被林轩当枪使了，对方从提出联手开始，就不坏好意，他禁锢自己的法力，时机拿捏得也是极好地，目的是不让自己逃走，但在接近老魔的时候又能恢复神通。
He knew now that he was being used like a spear. From the start of their alliance, Lin Xuan had no good intentions. He perfectly timed his restriction on his magical energy, ensuring he couldn't escape, yet could regain his abilities when close to the old demon.
zhè yàng jí shǐ kàn pò de tā de yīn móu ， zì jǐ wèi le zì bǎo yě bù dé bù xiàng lǎo mó jìn gōng 。
这样即使看破的他的阴谋，自己为了自保也不得不像老魔进攻。
Even if he saw through this plot, for self-preservation's sake, he would have to attack the old demon.
rú cǐ yī lái ， jiù chéng le tā de dùn pái ， wèi tā táo zǒu zhēng qǔ shí jiān 。
如此一来，就成了他的盾牌，为他逃走争取时间。
Thus, he became a shield for Lin Xuan, buying him time to flee.
jū rán yīn gōu lǐ fān chuán ， bèi nà lín lǎo mó gěi shuǎ le 。
居然阴沟里翻船，被那林老魔给耍了。
He had been outsmarted by Old Demon Lin.
ér qiě duì fāng yī lián chuàn jì cè ， huán huán xiāng kòu ， xiān shì yīn móu ， hòu shì yáng móu ， suǒ wèi yáng móu zhě ， jiù shì nǐ jí shǐ kàn pò ， yě bù dé bù zhào zhe qù zuò ， yīn wèi nà shì wéi yī de xuǎn zé 。
而且对方一连串计策，环环相扣，先是阴谋，后是阳谋，所谓阳谋者，就是你即使看破，也不得不照着去做，因为那是唯一的选择。
Moreover, his series of plans were tightly interconnected—first a hidden scheme, then an open one. A so-called "open" plan meant that even if you saw through it, you had no choice but to follow it because it was the only option.
“ xìng lín de ， nǐ bù dé hǎo sǐ ！”
“姓林的，你不得好死！”
"You Lin, you won't live long!"
wàn shòu zūn zhě de shēng yīn ， chōng mǎn le yuàn dú ， suí hòu pī lǐ pā lā de gǔ gé bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tā zhěng gè shēn tǐ ， yě yāo huà le 。
万兽尊者的声音，充满了怨毒，随后噼里啪啦的骨骼爆裂声传入耳朵，他整个身体，也妖化了。
The Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts' voice was filled with venom as his bones cracked loudly.
zhè jiā huo ， běn lái jiù shì xiū yāo zhě ， kě xī zài dú lóng lǎo zǔ zhè yāo zú jù xiāo miàn qián shǐ yòng cǐ lèi fǎ shù ， gēn běn jiù shì bān mén nòng fǔ 。
这家伙，本来就是修妖者，可惜在毒龙老祖这妖族巨枭面前使用此类法术，根本就是班门弄斧。
This guy was originally a cultivator, but using such spells in front of the old dragon demon was like showing off in front of an expert.
dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， méi yǒu xuǎn zé ， míng zhī dào shì ná jī dàn pèng shí tou yě bù dé bù bó yī bó 。
但此时此刻，没有选择，明知道是拿鸡蛋碰石头也不得不搏一搏。
But there was no choice; he had to take this risk even though it was foolish.
lóu yǐ shàng qiě tōu shēng shòu zūn zhě yòu zěn me néng miǎn sú 。
蝼蚁尚且偷生兽尊者又怎么能免俗。
Even ants try to survive. The Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts couldn't avoid it either.
tā yāo huà yǐ hòu ， zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， jǐ dào jīng yíng de xuè sè sī xiàn pēn chū 。
他妖化以后，张开血盆大口，几道晶莹的血色丝线喷出。
After transforming into a beast, he opened his blood-filled mouth and spat out several clear strands of blood.
lüè yī zhuǎn zhé ， xiàng zhe nà jiāo lóng zhī zhǎo chán shàng qù le 。
略一转折，向着那蛟龙之爪缠上去了。
He used these strands to wrap around the dragon's tentacle.
bù zhī dào shì shén me mì shù ， dú lóng lǎo zǔ lěng xiào yī shēng ， jiāo zhǎo yī dǒu ， yī tuán mó huǒ xiàng xià jī è shè ér chū ， jiāng nà jǐ dào xuè sè sī xiàn dǐ zhù ， rán hòu měng rán xiàng xià yī luò ， yǎn kàn zhe jiù yào jiāng wàn shòu zhuā zhù 。
不知道是什么秘术，毒龙老祖冷笑一声，蛟爪一抖，一团魔火向下激垩射而出，将那几道血色丝线抵住，然后猛然向下一落，眼看着就要将万兽抓住。
Not knowing what secret technique this was, the old dragon demon sneered as its tentacle shook. A ball of demonic fire shot down, blocking those blood threads before plummeting downward, almost capturing Ten Thousand Beasts.
rán ér zhè yī cì ， duì fāng méi yǒu duǒ ， fǎn ér zhuàng shàng lái le 。
然而这一次，对方没有躲，反而撞上来了。
But instead of dodging, he charged forward.
bù guò zài qí tóu dǐng zhī chù ， guāng huá yī shǎn ， yí gè cùn xǔ gāo de yuán yīng xiǎn xiàn ， shǒu zhōng hái bào zhe yí miàn sān jiǎo xíng de dùn pái 。
不过在其头顶之处，光华一闪，一个寸许高的元婴显现，手中还抱着一面三角形的盾牌。
Above his head, a faint light appeared, revealing an inch-high婴灵 holding a triangular shield in its hands.
yǎn kàn shì bù kě wèi shòu dào yě shì hěn lì guǒ jué de rén wù ， jū rán jiāng ròu shēn fàng qì diào le 。
眼看事不可为兽倒也是狠厉果决的人物，居然将肉身放弃掉了。
Seeing the situation was hopeless, the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts was ruthless and decisive. He abandoned his body to take over the infant's spirit.
zhǐ yào yuán yīng huó zhe ， zì jǐ jiù kě yǐ duó shě 。
只要元婴活着，自己就可以夺舍。
As long as the infant survived, he could possess it.
biàn qǐ cāng chǔ ， dú lóng lǎo zǔ dào yě shì méi yǒu yù liào dào de ， yǎn kàn duì fāng de qū tǐ zhuàng le shàng lái ， tā yǐn yǐn jué de bù tuǒ ， nà yuán yīng shuāng shǒu yī wò 。
变起仓储，毒龙老祖倒也是没有预料到的，眼看对方的躯体撞了上来，他隐隐觉得不妥，那元婴双手一握。
Unexpectedly, the old dragon demon didn't anticipate this turn of events. Seeing the body collide with him, he felt something was wrong. The infant clutched its hands together.
ròu shēn zì bào diào le 。
肉身自爆掉了。
The body exploded in a massive burst of spiritual light and energy, hoping to buy himself some time.
jù dà de líng guāng yǔ qì làng ， jiāng lǎo mó tūn mò ， tā xī wàng zhè néng gòu wèi zì jǐ zhēng qǔ dào yī xiàn shēng jī jiù hǎo le 。
巨大的灵光与气浪，将老魔吞没，他希望这能够为自己争取到一线生机就好了。

"Alright."
Lin Xuan stood by, showing no hesitation in agreeing.
He then raised his right hand and swung it forcefully downward, releasing a dazzling silver sword energy that stretched over ten zhang (about 33 feet). The momentum was astonishing as the sword energy slashed at the old demon.
Seeing this, the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts felt a surge of joy, but soon showed a hint of doubt. Why did the divine treasure's power differ so much from his initial expectations?
This wasn't enough to kill the old demon; Lin Xuan turned his head and noticed that he had vanished in a flash of green light.
Then, a spatial fluctuation appeared beside Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts as Lin Xuan suddenly reappeared.
"Brother Wan, the divine treasure's power isn't sufficient to kill the old demon. Let's attack together."
Lin Xuan's face showed signs of frustration as he flicked his sleeves and two radiant silver rings flew out. He gripped them and injected a torrent of magical energy.
The Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts saw this, dispelling any doubts. He chuckled at his own overcaution; with such an enemy present, how could the other party have any second thoughts about not wanting to die?
He didn't say more, opened his mouth, and spat out a blue flying knife. His single-handed technique changed rapidly as he continuously injected spiritual energy.
Roar!
A deafening roar echoed through the air. The dense fog from the old demon's lair obscured the sky, its momentum shocking. Then, silver sword energy suddenly appeared. The Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts' face turned pale; his demonic avatar had been torn in half by the other party.
But the silver sword energy followed closely behind, leaving the old demon struggling to defend. This was indeed a good time for joint attack, but the chance of eliminating the old demon was slim.
However, there was no choice.

As the silver sword energy approached within three feet of the old demon, even the arrogant old demon had to pause its attack.
Suddenly, golden light surged behind Lin Xuan. The Heavenly Law Form became clearer as the eighteen arms grabbed Ten Thousand Beasts' limbs and head, along with other vital points.
He injected magical energy, temporarily restraining his opponent's abilities.
"Old Demon Lin, you..."
The Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts was both shocked and angry. He couldn't believe that at this critical moment, Lin Xuan had betrayed them. Could he be working with the old demon?
Ignoring the other party's rebuke, Lin Xuan used his Law Form to lift Ten Thousand Beasts high before hurling him towards the old demon.
He used Ten Thousand Beasts as a weapon, smashing it against the old demon.
This unexpected turn left all cultivators stunned. Even the old dragon demon was taken aback by this sudden development.
He knew he had no connection with Lin Xuan.
Had this person gone mad?
But Lin Xuan didn't care; at the moment of throwing Ten Thousand Beasts, he flashed away and used Nine Heaven Microsteps to appear a thousand feet away.
Approaching Red Leaf Fairy wasn't far now.
A dark-faced婴灵 cultivator appeared before him.
"Get lost!"
Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves, releasing dozens of sword energies that split into three and rushed towards the opponent with frenzied speed.
Without saying anything, Lin Xuan used his power to lift Ten Thousand Beasts high before throwing him at the old demon.
Red Leaf Fairy's face brightened. She was the only one who didn't find this strange. She raised her jade hand, revealing a blood-red talisman in her palm.

He knew now that he was being used like a spear. From the start of their alliance, Lin Xuan had no good intentions. He perfectly timed his restriction on his magical energy, ensuring he couldn't escape, yet could regain his abilities when close to the old demon.
Even if he saw through this plot, for self-preservation's sake, he would have to attack the old demon.
Thus, he became a shield for Lin Xuan, buying him time to flee.
Damn it!
He had been outsmarted by Old Demon Lin.
Moreover, his series of plans were tightly interconnected—first a hidden scheme, then an open one. A so-called "open" plan meant that even if you saw through it, you had no choice but to follow it because it was the only option.
"You Lin, you won't live long!"
The Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts' voice was filled with venom as his bones cracked loudly.
This guy was originally a cultivator, but using such spells in front of the old dragon demon was like showing off in front of an expert.
But there was no choice; he had to take this risk even though it was foolish.
Even ants try to survive. The Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts couldn't avoid it either.
After transforming into a beast, he opened his blood-filled mouth and spat out several clear strands of blood.
He used these strands to wrap around the dragon's tentacle.
Not knowing what secret technique this was, the old dragon demon sneered as its tentacle shook. A ball of demonic fire shot down, blocking those blood threads before plummeting downward, almost capturing Ten Thousand Beasts.
But instead of dodging, he charged forward.
Above his head, a faint light appeared, revealing an inch-high婴灵 holding a triangular shield in its hands.
Seeing the situation was hopeless, the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts was ruthless and decisive. He abandoned his body to take over the infant's spirit.
As long as the infant survived, he could possess it.
Unexpectedly, the old dragon demon didn't anticipate this turn of events. Seeing the body collide with him, he felt something was wrong. The infant clutched its hands together.
Boom!
The body exploded in a massive burst of spiritual light and energy, hoping to buy himself some time.
