yú shì lín xuān wú nài zhī yú ， zhǐ néng suí biàn pǎo ，
于是林轩无奈之余，只能随便跑，
Lin Xuan, finding himself in this predicament, could only run aimlessly. He even changed direction several times mid-way to try and shake off his pursuer, but instead found himself increasingly straying from Red Leaf Island, now unsure where he was.
zhōng tú shèn zhì hái shù cì zhuǎn zhé ， xiǎng yào jiāng duì fāng bǎi tuō ， jié guǒ mù dì méi yǒu dá dào ” fǎn ér yuè lái yuè piān lí hóng yè dǎo ， xiàn zài tiān zhī dào pǎo dào le nǎ ge diàn míng qí miào de dì fāng 。
中途甚至还数次转折，想要将对方摆脱，结果目的没有达到”反而越来越偏离红叶岛，现在天知道跑到了哪个奠名其妙的地方。
His lips twitched with a bitter smile as he ran. Yet, he couldn't afford to slacken his efforts; the old monster had been thoroughly infuriated by him, which was why it wouldn’t let him go so easily. If caught, the consequences would be dire.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān mǎn shì kǔ xiào 。
林轩嘴角边满是苦笑。
Lin Xuan had already fought this old demon before, and now, with its partial transformation into a half-turtle, it was even more formidable. Escaping from it wasn't going to be easy this time around. Thus, he could only focus on running for his life.
piān piān hái bù néng sōng xiè ， zhè lǎo guài wù bèi zì jǐ chè dǐ rě máo ， fǒu zé bú huì rú cǐ yīn hún bù sàn de yǔ zì jǐ hào shàng 。
偏偏还不能松懈，这老怪物被自己彻底惹毛，否则不会如此阴魂不散的与自己耗上。
Behind him, the venomous dragon elder's face showed signs of frustration. He had been repeatedly toyed with by Lin Xuan and was determined to draw out the young man’s soul and torment his yuan婴 with demon flames, a grudge that couldn’t be easily quelled.
rú guǒ bèi tā zhuī dào le ， yòng jiǎo zhǐ tóu yě néng cāi cè shì shén me xià chǎng 。
如果被他追到了，用脚趾头也能猜测是什么下场。
Based on his calculations, this boy, though powerful in his own right, should have been no match for him as an early-stage cultivator. He had assumed he could catch up at any time since the young man was still just a novice.
lín xuān yǐ jīng yǔ duì fāng pīn dòu guò ， rú jīn bàn jiāo huà de lǎo mó hái yào lì hài dé duō 。
林轩已经与对方拼斗过，如今半蛟化的老魔还要厉害得多。
After merging with the host body and using the "Transcendence through Void Transmission Technique," he now possessed two-fifths of his full strength. The boy's escape technique, while mysterious, would surely drain his true essence over time. He could be caught first and then chase Red Leaf Fairy later.
zhè cì bèi chán shàng xiǎng yào tuō shēn kě jiù bú shì nà me róng yì le 。
这次被缠上想要脱身可就不是那么容易了。
However, something unexpected happened this time. Lin Xuan’s resilience far exceeded what the old monster had anticipated. After an hour, he was still running as fast as before, shocking him into silence. By two hours, the old monster began to suspect that Lin Xuan might have used some technique to temporarily boost his true essence.
suǒ yǐ lín xuān bù gǎn gù zuò tā xiǎng ” zhǐ néng yì xīn yí yì de táo 。
所以林轩不敢故作他想”只能一心一意的逃。
As night fell and the sun set, the old monster’s face darkened with frustration; he had miscalculated again. This boy must possess a powerful artifact for instantaneous recovery of true essence, like a ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk.
ér zài qí shēn hòu ， nà wèi dú kuàng lóng lǎo mó yě shì yī liǎn de yù mèn zhī sè ， tā bèi lín xuān yī zài xì shuǎ ， shì tiě le xīn yào jiāng zhè xiǎo zi chōu hún liàn pò ， rán hòu jiāng tā de yuán yīng yòng mó huǒ hǎo hǎo de zhé mó ， fǒu zé shí zài nán xiāo xīn tóu zhī hèn de 。
而在其身后，那位毒卝龙老魔也是一脸的郁闷之色，他被林轩一再戏耍，是铁了心要将这小子抽魂炼魄，然后将他的元婴用魔火好好的折磨，否则实在难消心头之恨的。
How did he get such an extraordinary item? Even if Lin Xuan were caught now, chasing Red Leaf Fairy would be too late. He cursed his own plans being completely ruined and vowed to torment the young man until he was stripped bare.
yuán běn zhào tā de tuī cè ， zhè xiǎo zi suī rán shén tōng bù ruò ， suǒ huì de mì shù yǔ shēn shàng de bǎo wù yě hěn duō ， dàn bì jìng zhǐ shì lí hé chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， néng gòu táo dào nǎ lǐ qù le 。
原本照他的推测，这小子虽然神通不弱，所会的秘术与身上的宝物也很多，但毕竟只是离合初期的修仙者，能够逃到哪里去了。
With renewed determination, the old monster put aside his schemes for Red Leaf Island and focused on capturing this annoying boy first. Thus, they ran for nine days and nights without rest, flying thousands of miles apart.
bì jìng hé le zhè fù shēn zhī tǐ ， shǐ yòng “ zài kōng chuán gōng dà kuàng fǎ ” yǐ hòu ， tā yǐ jīng néng gòu fā huī chū běn tǐ ， jìn wǔ fēn zhī èr de shí lì 。
毕竟合了这附身之体，使用“再空传功大卝法”以后，他已经能够发挥出本体，近五分之二的实力。
Lin Xuan inwardly groaned; it seemed that his pursuer had truly made up his mind not to let him go. This was a serious problem—given the distance, he couldn't use any tricks or strategies effectively. He could only grit his teeth and run.
nà xiǎo zi táo pǎo de mì shù suī rán guǐ yì ， dàn zhè zhǒng dùn shù míng xiǎn shì jí hào fǎ kuàng lì dì ， duì fāng jiù suàn shì lí hé ， yě jiān chí bù liǎo duō jiǔ de gōng fu 。
那小子逃跑的秘术虽然诡异，但这种遁术明显是极耗法卝力地，对方就算是离合，也坚持不了多久的功夫。
Though he still had plenty of ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk left, running like this wouldn’t end well. Since advancing to the yuan婴 stage, Lin Xuan rarely faced such hardships; even when pursued by Huìtōng Monk in the Xuanyuan Domain, he hadn't been so desperate before.
xiān jiāng qí zhuō zhù ， zài zhuī hóng yè xiān zi yě shì lái de jí de 。
先将其捉住，再追红叶仙子也是来得及的。
He was too complacent, having forgotten that even in the spirit realm, there were still high-ranking cultivators. Tearsxuán was terrifyingly powerful, and this lesson would serve as a reminder to Lin Xuan.
kě zhè yī cì ， ràng lǎo mó jīng yà de shì qíng fā shēng le 。
可这一次，让老魔惊讶的事情发生了。
Besides the venomous dragon elder, they had to watch out for sea creatures and monsters. Just days ago, while running, he encountered about two hundred whales that inexplicably lunged at him. Though these were only third-stage sea beasts, killing them was easy enough. However, any delay nearly allowed the old monster to catch up. Lin Xuan barely managed to escape by sprinting like a man on fire.
lín xuān rèn xìng zhī qiáng ， yuǎn yuǎn chāo guò le tā de xiǎng xiàng 。
林轩韧性之强，远远超过了他的想象。
Later, due to bad luck, the old monster encountered an ancient beast that attacked, giving Lin Xuan some breathing room. But this wasn’t a sustainable solution; they couldn't keep running indefinitely.
dāng yí gè shí chén zhī hòu ， lín xuān de sù dù kuài jié rú gù ， tā jiù chū xiàn le jīng róng 。
当一个时辰之后，林轩的速度快捷如故，他就出现了惊容。
Unbeknownst to Lin Xuan, his pursuer, the venomous dragon elder, was also grappling with internal turmoil in his frustration. The situation had surpassed his expectations, causing him great distress. If he were using his true body, he wouldn’t be afraid of chasing this boy; the gap between them wasn't so easily bridged. Even if Lin Xuan had countless ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk, he would eventually exhaust it.
liǎng gè shí chén yǐ hòu ， lǎo mó yǐ jīng zài huái yí lín xuān shì bú shì shǐ yòng le mǒu zhǒng zàn shí tí shēng zhēn yuán de fǎ shù 。
两个时辰以后，老魔已经在怀疑林轩是不是使用了某种暂时提升真元的法术。
But with just a possessed body and having used the "Transcendence through Void Transmission Technique," his physical strength was already waning. If they continued this way, he might collapse at any moment.
tiān sè biàn àn ， tài yáng là xià shān bǐ ， dú kuàng lóng lǎo zǔ de liǎn sè ， yǐ jīng yīn mái dào jí chù ， zì jǐ yòu shī suàn le ， zhè xiǎo zi shēn shàng ， yí dìng shì yǒu shùn jiān huī fù fǎ kuàng lì de bǎo wù ， bǐ rú shuō ” wàn nián líng rǔ 。
天色变暗，太阳落下山彼，毒卝龙老祖的脸色，已经阴霾到极处，自己又失算了，这小子身上，一定是有瞬间恢复法卝力的宝物，比如说”万年灵乳。
Abandoning the chase wasn’t an option; he was stuck between a rock and a hard place after being repeatedly toyed with by the young man. The resentment in his heart was too great to be easily dispelled.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， zhè zhǒng nì tiān zhī wù ， tā shì zěn me dé dào de 。
有没有稿错，这种逆天之物，他是怎么得到的。
The primary reason for not giving up wasn't just this, but another: Lin Xuan, at best only an early-stage cultivator, had proven so tenacious that if he advanced to Tearsxuán, the old monster would be in grave danger. These ascended cultivators from the lower realms were exceptional in terms of temperament and talent, making their advancement to higher stages more likely.
rú jīn jiù suàn mǎ shàng zhuō zhù lín xuān ， zài zhuī hóng yè xiān zi yě wéi shí yǐ wǎn 。
如今就算马上捉住林轩，再追红叶仙子也为时已晚。
The venomous dragon elder felt a sense of impending doom; he didn’t want to let this boy grow into a threat. He must eliminate the danger before it grew too large. As they say, "Better safe than sorry." If Lin Xuan matured, his fate would be dire indeed.
kě wù ， jiāng zì jǐ de dà jì wán quán pò kuàng huài diào le 。
可恶，将自己的大计完全破卝坏掉了。
With a resolute and vicious look in his eyes, the old monster slowed down, stopping abruptly. He raised his hands to mimic flames leaping into the air, then began weaving and gesturing with various spells...
