但不管如何，这么好的机会“此女绝不会放过，修仙，又怎么可能不冒一点点风险。
But regardless, such a good opportunity would not be missed by this woman. Cultivation was risky after all.
bù guò kàn lái ， lǎo tiān yé dài zì jǐ bù báo ， lín xuān yǐ jīng bù zài zhè ge dǎo shàng le ， yǒu dǎ dòu de hén jì ， nà lǎo mó de huà shēn yě kěn dìng huàn xǐng ， jiù bù zhī dào bǎo wù shì bú shì hái liú zài cǐ chù 。
不过看来，老天爷待自己不薄，林轩已经不在这个岛上了，有打斗的痕迹，那老魔的化身也肯定唤醒，就不知道宝物是不是还留在此处。
However, it seemed that the heavens were kind to him; Lin Xuan was no longer on the island. There were signs of combat, so the demon's avatar had definitely been awakened. He wondered if the treasure was still here.
dàn xiǎng lái ， shuāng fāng yī jiàn miàn jiù dǎ gè xī lǐ hú tú ， yīng gāi gù bù shàng qǔ bǎo wù ， hēi hēi ， dōu pián yi zì jǐ le 。
但想来，双方一见面就打个稀里糊涂，应该顾不上取宝物，嘿嘿，都便宜自己了。
He reasoned that both parties would likely start fighting without much thought for taking the treasure. Hm, it would be a benefit to him.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， cǐ nǚ de liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de fú xiàn chū kuáng xǐ zhī sè 。
心中如此想着，此女的脸上也不由得浮现出狂喜之色。
With this in mind, a look of wild joy appeared on her face as she entered the fissure.
tā yě míng bái yè cháng mèng duō ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， jiù jìn rù dào le nà dì fèng lǐ miàn 。
她也明白夜长梦多，身形一闪，就进入到了那地缝里面。
The scene before her was dark and gloomy. Unbeknownst to her, a figure like a ghost followed closely behind.
yǎn qián hēi hū hū de ， cǐ nǚ bìng bù xiǎo de ， yī dào rén yǐng ， rú tóng yōu hún yì bān ， piāo piāo dàng dàng ， gēn zài le tā de hòu miàn 。
眼前黑乎乎的，此女并不晓得，一道人影，如同幽魂一般，飘飘荡荡，跟在了她的后面。
The fissure wasn't long; soon, light appeared ahead. However, it was greenish in color, like ghostly flames that made one's scalp tingle with fear.
dì fèng bìng bù zhǎng ， hěn kuài ， qián fāng jiù chū xiàn le guāng liàng 。
地缝并不长，很快，前方就出现了光亮。
Upon reaching the exit, she entered a large hall. It was more fitting to call it a tomb than a hall, given its oppressive atmosphere and vast space of over a hundred feet in diameter.
rán ér nà guāng ， què shì lǜ yóu yóu de ， fǎng fú guǐ huǒ ， ràng rén yī kàn zhī xià ， jiù tóu pí fā má 。
然而那光，却是绿油油的，仿佛鬼火，让人一看之下，就头皮发麻。
The tomb was empty except for a high platform where a huge copper coffin stood. Surrounding this were several bronze cauldrons filled with green flames.
suí hòu dào le chū kǒu ， yī dà tīng yìng rù le yǎn lián zhōng 。
随后到了出口，一大厅映入了眼帘中。
A chilling sensation washed over her as she scanned the stone chamber. Her expression changed dramatically.
shuō shì dà tīng ， què yīn qì pēn bó ， jiǎng chéng mù shì huò zhě huì gèng jiā de shì hé ， miàn jī dǎo shì pǒ wèi guǎng kuò ， zú yǒu bǎi zhàng fāng yuán de 。
说是大厅，却阴气喷薄，讲成墓室或者会更加的适合，面积倒是颇为广阔，足有百丈方圆的。
This place hadn't been visited by anyone, and the coffin lid remained intact.
zhěng gè mù shì kōng kōng bí dàng ， wéi yǒu zhōng jiān ， yǒu yí gè gāo tái ， shàng miàn fàng zhe yī jù dà de tóng guān 。
整个墓室空空鼻荡，唯有中间，有一个高台，上面放着一巨大的铜棺。
"Is...this..."
ér zài sì zhōu ， hái sàn bù zhe yī xiē qīng tóng jù dǐng zhuàng de shì wù ， lǐ miàn yǒu lǜ sè de huǒ yàn xióng xióng rán shāo zhe 。
而在四周，还散布着一些青铜巨鼎状的事物，里面有绿色的火焰熊熊燃烧着。
She immediately realized something was wrong; perhaps she had fallen into someone else's trap. A chill ran down her spine.
yī gǔ yīn sēn sēn de gǎn jué 。
一股阴森森的感觉。
Her face turned pale under the green flames, resembling a zombie. She tried to leave but a cold voice echoed from behind: "Friend, returning after leaving, what important matter do you have? Can you give me a reasonable explanation?"
cǐ nǚ mù guāng zài shí shì zhōng sǎo guò ， biǎo qíng sà rán dà biàn le 。
此女目光在石室中扫过，表情飒然大变了。
She was shocked and frantically looked around; her worst fears had come true—the young Lin followed her.
zhěng jiān mù shì wán quán bù xiàng yǒu rén lái guò ， lián nà guān gài ， yě tóng yàng shì wán hǎo wú sǔn de 。
整间墓室完全不像有人来过，连那棺盖，也同样是完好无损的。
"Ha!"
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
At this point, she knew that no matter what, the other party wouldn't let her go. Since the young Lin had seen through her plan, he must be someone with meticulous thoughts. She would only humiliate herself by fabricating a flawless lie.
tā lì kè zhī dào le bù tuǒ ， nán dào zì jǐ xiǎng yào qū hǔ tūn láng fǎn dào bèi bié rén lì yòng le 。
她立刻知道了不妥，难道自己想要驱虎吞狼反倒被别人利用了。
As an adept who had advanced to the Separation Stage later period, she was naturally decisive and ruthless. In an instant, she assessed the situation and decided not to hesitate. She raised a flying sword and slashed at Lin Xuan.
yī gǔ hán yì cóng jiǎo dǐ mào qǐ ， zhí chuán rù xīn lǐ 。
一股寒意从脚底冒起，直传入心里。
Knowing it was hopeless, but unwilling to surrender, she fought back with all her might, hoping to carve out a path through bloodshed.
cǐ nǚ de liǎn sè cāng bái rú zhǐ ， zài lǜ huǒ de yìng chèn xià yǒu rú jiāng shī 。
此女的脸色苍白如纸，在绿火的映衬下有如僵尸。
Unfortunately, such thoughts were too naive.
shēn xíng yī shǎn ， xiǎng yào lí kāi ， yī lěng lěng de shēng yīn què cóng hòu miàn chuán le guò lái ：“ dào yǒu qù ér fù fǎn ， bù zhī dào yǒu hé yào shì ” néng fǒu gěi lín mǒu yí gè hé lǐ de jiě shì 。”
身形一闪，想要离开，一冷冷的声音却从后面传了过来：“道友去而复返，不知道有何要事”能否给林某一个合理的解释。”
Since Lin Xuan appeared, he wouldn't be careless. Seeing the sword aimed at his head, Lin Xuan didn’t dodge; instead, he roared in anger. A burst of colorful spiritual light emerged, and the Green Flame Phoenix Armor materialized. He extended his right hand, and the aura turned five colors as a massive claw appeared.
cǐ nǚ dà hài ， yǎn zhū jí zhuǎn ” zuì hài pà de shì qíng yìng yàn ， nà lín xiǎo zi jū rán gēn zài zì jǐ de hòu miàn 。
此女大骇，眼珠急转”最害怕的事情应验，那林小子居然跟在自己的后面。
It was his transformed right hand.
“ hē ！”
“喝！”
Heavenly Phoenix Divine Claw!
shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù ， tā xīn lǐ qīng chǔ ， wú lùn rú hé ， duì fāng bù kě néng jiāng zì jǐ fàng guò 。
事情到了这一步，她心里清楚，无论如何，对方不可能将自己放过。
"Secret Technique of Transformation."
nà lín xiǎo zi jì rán kàn pò le zì jǐ de jì cè ” bú yòng shuō ， yě shì xīn sī zhěn mì de jiā huo ， zì jǐ jiù suàn biān shén me tiān yī wú fèng de huǎng huà ， yě bù guò shì zì qǔ qí rǔ 。
那林小子既然看破了自己的计策”不用说，也是心思缜密的家伙，自己就算编什么天衣无缝的谎话，也不过是自取其辱。
The woman was shocked but secretly relieved that he had lost his head and dared to use his hands to catch her treasure, thinking she was from the妖族. Cultivators and those with extraordinary talents were different; such actions were akin to suicide.
cǐ nǚ néng gòu jìn jí dào lí hé hòu qī ， zì rán yě shì shā fá jué duàn de rén wù ， qǐng kè jiān jiù lǐ qīng le lì bì ， tā bù zài yóu yù ， huí shēn jiāng yī bǐng fēi jiàn jì qǐ ” hěn hěn de xiàng zhe lín xuān zhǎn qù 。
此女能够晋级到离合后期，自然也是杀伐决断的人物，顷刻间就理清了利弊，她不再犹豫，回身将一柄飞剑祭起”狠狠的向着林轩斩去。
Her eyes flashed with cruelty as she swung both hands like wheels, casting spells rapidly. The sword's light became increasingly dazzling. But Lin Xuan ignored it, and his transformed claw met hers.
míng zhī dào dǎ bù guò ， dàn yòu zěn me gān xīn shù shǒu jiù fù ， kùn shòu yóu dòu yě yào bó yī bó ， wàn yī tiān kě lián jiàn néng gòu shā chū yī tiáo xuè lù 。
明知道打不过，但又怎么甘心束手就缚，困兽犹斗也要搏一搏，万一天可怜见能够杀出一条血路。
Crack...
kě xī zhè yàng de xiǎng fǎ shí zài shì tài tiān zhēn le 。
可惜这样的想法实在是太天真了。
The sound of teeth grinding echoed in her ears. Spiritual light exploded, and the woman’s expression changed dramatically. Her earlier excitement turned to shock as she almost thought she was hallucinating.
lín xuān jì rán xiàn shēn ， yòu qǐ huì sī háo fáng bèi yě wú ， jiàn duì fāng yī jiàn kàn xiàng zì jǐ de tóu lú ， lín xuān jū rán bù shǎn bù duǒ ， yī shēn bào hē ” wǔ cǎi líng guāng pēn bó ， bì yàn qí lín jiǎ fú xiàn ér chū ， suí hòu tā shēn chū yòu shǒu ， yāo qì jū rán yě zuò wǔ cǎi zhī sè ， yī jù dà de lì zhuǎ chū xiàn le 。
林轩既然现身，又岂会丝毫防备也无，见对方一剑看向自己的头颅，林轩居然不闪不躲，一身暴喝”五彩灵光喷薄，碧焰麒麟甲浮现而出，随后他伸出右手，妖气居然也做五彩之色，一巨大的利爪出现了。
The divine sword had been caught by Lin Xuan, like a venomous snake. No matter how fierce it had been before, now that its vulnerable spot was seized, it couldn’t struggle free.
shì tā yòu shǒu suǒ huà 。
是他右手所化。
How could this be?
tiān fèng shén zhǎo ！
天凤神爪！
Even for后期妖族, only those with thick skin or special techniques would dare to catch her divine sword bare-handed.
“ yāo huà mì shù 。”
“妖化秘术。”
But the fact remained. The woman looked at Lin Xuan in awe and fear but didn't plan on giving up. She reached into her waistband as if she wanted to retrieve another treasure.
cǐ nǚ dà jīng shī sè ， dàn yòu yǒu xiē qìng xìng lái zhe ， duì fāng yūn le tóu le ” jū rán gǎn yòng shǒu ， yìng jiē zì jǐ de bǎo wù ， tā yǐ wéi zì jǐ zhēn shì yāo zú 。
此女大惊失色，但又有些庆幸来着，对方晕了头了”居然敢用手，硬接自己的宝物，他以为自己真是妖族。
However, a ball of three-colored flames appeared in Lin Xuan's hand, engulfing the divine sword.
xiū yāo zhě yǔ tiān fù yì bǐng de yāo zú bì jìng shì bù tóng de ， zhè yàng zuò ， yǔ zhǎo sǐ yǒu shén me qū bié ne ？
修妖者与天赋异禀的妖族毕竟是不同的，这样做，与找死有什么区别呢？
Blue light flickered, first freezing it, then releasing toxins and corrosion that caused countless cracks to appear on its surface, gradually breaking it apart.
yǎn zhōng shǎn guò bào nüè zhī sè ” cǐ nǚ shuāng shǒu rú zhuàn lún bān huī wǔ ， fǎ jué lián lián diǎn chū ， nà jiàn guāng biàn dé yuè fā de yào yǎn cì mù ” rán ér lín xuān shì ruò wú dǔ ， yòu shǒu suǒ biàn huà de lì zhuǎ hěn hěn yíng shàng qù le 。
眼中闪过暴虐之色”此女双手如转轮般挥舞，法诀连连点出，那剑光变得越发的耀眼刺目”然而林轩视若无睹，右手所变化的利爪狠狠迎上去了。
Puff...
cì āi ……，…
刺唉……，…
The woman spat out blood as her life force-bound treasure was destroyed. Lin Xuan smiled; he had been waiting for this moment. He moved his feet, a flash of light, and vanished from the spot.
liǎng zhě xiāng chù ” lìng rén yá suān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， líng máng bào shè ， gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ de biǎo qíng sà rán biàn le ， qián yī kè míng míng shì kuáng xǐ ， cǐ kè què mǎn shì mù dèng kǒu dāi de zhèn hàn zhī yì 。
两者相触”令人牙酸的声音传入耳朵，灵芒爆射，宫装女子的表情飒然变了，前一刻明明是狂喜，此刻却满是目瞪口呆的震撼之意。
He reappeared before the woman, fingers like hooks gripping her neck.
jī hū yǐ wéi zì jǐ yǎn jīng chū le wèn tí 。
几乎以为自己眼睛出了问题。
"Senior, spare my life. I will never do it again."
nà xiān jiàn jū rán bèi lín xuān zhuō zài le shǒu lǐ ， fǎng fú yī tiáo dú shé ， bù guǎn yǐ qián rú hé de xiōng è ， kě rú jīn qī cùn bèi ná zhù ， gēn běn jiù zhēng zhá bù tuō 。
那仙剑居然被林轩捉在了手里，仿佛一条毒蛇，不管以前如何的凶恶，可如今七寸被拿住，根本就挣扎不脱。
"Hmph, do you think you still have a chance?"
zhè zěn me kě néng ne ？
这怎么可能呢？
Lin Xuan said coldly. Whether she was a woman or not, he had already given her an opportunity; it was her own fault for persisting in her greed.
jiù suàn shì lí hé hòu qī de yāo zú ， chú le shǎo shù pí cū ròu hòu de nà zhǒng ， huò zhě xiū liàn yǒu shén me tè bié de mì shù ， yě jué bù gǎn chì shǒu kōng quán ， jiù lái jiē zì jǐ de xiān jiàn 。
就算是离合后期的妖族，除了少数皮粗肉厚的那种，或者修炼有什么特别的秘术，也绝不敢赤手空拳，就来接自己的仙剑。
One must pay the price for their actions. There were no怜香惜玉in the cultivation world. With a snap, Lin Xuan broke her neck.
rán ér shì shí jiù shì shì shí ， cǐ nǚ wàng xiàng lín xuān de yǎn shén ， chōng mǎn le jìng wèi hài pà zhī sè ， kě tā bìng bù dǎ suàn jiāng zì jǐ de xiǎo mìng fàng qì le ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， sì hū hái xiǎng yào qǔ chū shén me bié de bǎo wù lái 。
然而事实就是事实，此女望向林轩的眼神，充满了敬畏害怕之色，可她并不打算将自己的小命放弃了，伸出手来，在腰间一拍，似乎还想要取出什么别的宝物来。
White light flashed, revealing a tiny元婴期 soul before her, with a painted face of panic as she tried to escape by casting spells. But it was too late; Lin Xuan acted faster, turning into a green light that trapped her in a ball of light.
lín xuān shǒu shàng què fú xiàn chū yī tuán sān sè de huǒ yàn ， xióng xióng bào rán ， jiāng xiān jiàn bāo guǒ 。
林轩手上却浮现出一团三色的火焰，熊熊爆燃，将仙剑包裹。
The woman was both shocked and angry but more fearful as she frantically searched for a way out. However, Lin Xuan wouldn't allow any further excuses. He immediately performed soul-recovery techniques.
lán máng shǎn shuò ， xiān shì jiāng qí bīng fēng ， suí hòu jù dú yǔ fǔ shí tóng shí fā huī xiào guǒ ， nà xiān jiàn de biǎo miàn ， wú shù liè wén chū xiàn ， suí hòu yī cùn yī cùn de duàn liè diào le 。
蓝芒闪烁，先是将其冰封，随后剧毒与腐蚀同时发挥效果，那仙剑的表面，无数裂纹出现，随后一寸一寸的断裂掉了。
After about a cup of tea's time, Lin Xuan raised his head. With a burst of firelight, he annihilated the creature.
“ pū ………
“噗………
"Ah, so this cave still has an outer manifestation of a venomous dragon guarding it." Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead with a thoughtful expression.
cǐ nǚ yáng qǐ tóu ， yī kǒu xiān xuè pēn chū ， běn mìng fǎ bǎo bèi huǐ ， xīn shén xiāng lián xià tā zì rán shì shòu shāng fēi xiǎo ， lín xuān de liǎn shàng lù chū wēi xiào ， děng de jiù shì zhè shí jī ， jiǎo bù nuó yí ， guāng máng yī shǎn ， yǐ cóng yuán dì xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
此女扬起头，一口鲜血喷出，本命法宝被毁，心神相连下她自然是受伤非小，林轩的脸上露出微笑，等的就是这时机，脚步挪移，光芒一闪，已从原地消失不见。
This was troublesome.
suí hòu lái dào le gōng zhuāng shào nǚ de miàn qián ， wǔ zhǐ rú gōu ， yǐ jiāng tā de bó zi wò zhù 。
随后来到了宫装少女的面前，五指如勾，已将她的脖子握住。
He had two choices: either abandon the treasure and leave, which would ensure no trouble; or engage in combat with the demon's avatar.
“ qián bèi ráo mìng ， wǎn bèi “… wǎn bèi zài yě bù gǎn le 。”
“前辈饶命，晚辈“…晚辈再也不敢了。”
The outcome remained uncertain. Although he wasn't as formidable as four hundred years ago, having advanced to the Separation Stage mid-period, the avatar’s strength far exceeded that of the possessed body. The result was still unpredictable.
“ hēng ， nǐ yǐ wéi ， zì jǐ hái yǒu jī huì ？”
“哼，你以为，自己还有机会？”
Lin Xuan considered using his divine treasures while the avatar was unconscious but decided against it. While effective, such an action would destroy both the treasure and the divine artifact.
But regardless, such a good opportunity would not be missed by this woman. Cultivation was risky after all.
However, it seemed that the heavens were kind to him; Lin Xuan was no longer on the island. There were signs of combat, so the demon's avatar had definitely been awakened. He wondered if the treasure was still here.
