xīn zhōng yǒu tài duō de yí huò ， bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān yǐ méi yǒu shí jiān duō zuò sī suǒ 。， lì qì chōng tiān ， rú jīn tā xiàn rù le qián suǒ wèi yǒu de wēi xiǎn 。
心中有太多的疑惑，不过此时此刻，林轩已没有时间多做思索。，戾气冲天，如今他陷入了前所未有的危险。
With too many doubts in his heart, Lin Xuan had no time to ponder. The aura of malevolence was surging skyward, and he found himself trapped in an unprecedentedly dangerous situation.
zì tà rù xiū xiān jiè yǐ lái ， lín xuān céng duō cì zài shēng sǐ zhī jiān pái huái ， dàn cóng lái méi yǒu nǎ yī cì ， xiàng xiàn zài zhè yàng xiōng xiǎn 。
自踏入修仙界以来，林轩曾多次在生死之间徘徊，但从来没有哪一次，像现在这样凶险。
Since entering the cultivation world, Lin Xuan had faced life-and-death situations multiple times, but never before had it been as perilous as now.
xiōng kǒu de fèi yè bèi guàn chuān ， dí rén shì bǐ zì jǐ gāo shàng yī jiē de dòng xuán ， shǒu zhōng de bǎo wù gèng shì lìng rén jīng mù ， nà fú bǎo shì shuí liàn zhì de zàn qiě bù tí ， qí kě pà guǐ yì xiǎn rán lián mó yuán jiàn yě méi yǒu bàn fǎ xiàng bǐ 。
胸口的肺叶被贯穿，敌人是比自己高上一阶的洞玄，手中的宝物更是令人惊慕，那符宝是谁炼制的暂且不提，其可怕诡异显然连魔缘剑也没有办法相比。
The lung leaf in his chest was pierced by a higher-stage Daoist Void enemy. The treasure item in his hand was also awe-inspiring; although he didn't know who had forged the talisman artifact, its terrifying and bizarre nature far surpassed even the Demon缘 Sword.
bǎo wù gù rán lìng rén xīn dòng ， dàn zhè shí hòu ， lín xuān yǐ jīng bù xiǎng yào le ， jiè yòng fán jiān de yī jù sú yǔ ， qián cái nǎi shēn wài wù ， bǎo zhù xiǎo mìng cái shì zuì zhòng yào de 。
宝物固然令人心动，但这时候，林轩已经不想要了，借用凡间的一句俗语，钱财乃身外物，保住小命才是最重要的。
While the treasure items were tempting, Lin Xuan no longer wanted them at this moment. Borrowing a phrase from the mortal world: money is but an external thing; preserving one's life was most important.
méi yǒu shén me hǎo chí yí ， lín xuān hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， shuāng shǒu zài xū kōng zhōng huá guò qí yì de guǐ jì ， gǔ piáo de zhòu yǔ chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
没有什么好迟疑，林轩浑身青芒大起，双手在虚空中划过奇异的轨迹，古朴的咒语传入耳朵里。
Without hesitation, Lin Xuan emitted a bluish-green glow all over his body. His hands traced strange trajectories in mid-air as ancient incantations entered his ears.
nà yīn jié qí guài yǐ jí ， yǔ xiàn zài gè zú yǔ yán de fā yīn dōu shì wán quán bù tóng dì ， fǎng fú lái zì shàng gǔ shí qī 。
那音节奇怪以极，与现在各族语言的发音都是完全不同地，仿佛来自上古时期。
The intonation was extremely peculiar and different from any current language, seemingly coming from the ancient era.
huàn yǐng dùn xuán miào wú bǐ ， zhè yě shì lín xuān yǔ dú lóng lǎo zǔ fàng duì de dǐ qì 。
幻影遁玄妙无比，这也是林轩与毒龙老祖放对的底气。
Phantom Illusion was incredibly subtle—this was also why Lin Xuan had confidence to face the Toxic Dragon Ancestor.
shùn xī qiān lǐ ！
瞬息千里！
Instantly a thousand miles!
dǎ bù guò ， táo zǒng méi yǒu wèn tí 。
打不过，逃总没有问题。
If he couldn't fight back, running away would always be an option.
shàng cì miàn duì shèng chéng lǎo zhě ， lín xuān yě shì zhè me zuò ， kě zhè yī huí què shī líng le 。
上次面对圣城老者，林轩也是这么做，可这一回却失灵了。
Facing the Elder of the Holy City last time, Lin Xuan did exactly that. But this time, it failed.
zhǐ jiàn mó jiàn yī shǎn ， yī gǔ jīng chún mó qì hùn zhe xuè xīng de lì qì kuò zhǎn kāi lái ， zhěng jīn tiān kōng yuán běn shì yǒu hēi sè ， kě hěn kuài xuè hóng de guāng máng què jiāng qí tián mǎn 。
只见魔剑一闪，一股精纯魔气混着血腥的戾气扩展开来，整今天空原本是黝黑色，可很快血红的光芒却将其填满。
A flash of the demon sword revealed a pure and bloody aura expanding outward. The originally dark sky quickly filled with blood-red light, as if it had life, spreading wildly in all directions. Even the reflection on the sea was dyed an eerie color.
rú yǒu shēng mìng yì bān ， xiàng zhe sì zhōu fēng kuáng kuò sàn shēn zhǎn ， lián hǎi shuǐ tòu guò fǎn guāng de xiào guǒ ， dōu bèi rǎn shàng le yī céng yāo yì de yán sè 。
如有生命一般，向着四周疯狂扩散伸展，连海水透过反光的效果，都被染上了一层妖异的颜色。
The area within several dozen miles was completely engulfed by this scene, suffocating to behold.
fāng yuán shù shí lǐ ， quán bù bèi náng kuò jìn qù ， nà gǎn jué ràng rén zhì xī 。
方圆数十里，全部被囊括进去，那感觉让人窒息。
Lin Xuan's bluish-green glow turned red, then five-colored lights spun around him, looking ancient and mysterious.
lín xuān shēn shàng de qīng máng yǐ biàn chéng le hóng sè ， suí hòu wǔ sè guāng yùn bù tíng de xuán zhuǎn liú lí ， kàn shàng qù gǔ piáo ér shén mì 。
林轩身上的青芒已变成了红色，随后五色光晕不停的旋转琉璃，看上去古朴而神秘。
These spiritual lights grew rapidly, concealing his figure. Soon after, a dull explosion echoed in his ears as he saw an unbelievable sight: numerous Lin Xuan images appeared before vanishing one by one.
suí hòu nà xiē líng guāng bào zhǎng qǐ lái ， jiāng tā de shēn xíng yǎn gài ， jǐn jiē zhe ， yī yǒu xiē chén mèn de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ suí hòu yǎn qián fā xiàn le bù kě sī yì de yí mù ， nà xiē líng guāng sàn kāi kě jìn bǎi gè lín xuān què yìng rù yǎn lián 。
随后那些灵光暴涨起来，将他的身形掩盖，紧接着，一有些沉闷的爆裂声传入耳朵随后眼前发现了不可思议的一幕，那些灵光散开可近百个林轩却映入眼帘。
"Dead!"
suǒ yǒu de huàn yǐng yǔ zhēn shēn bié wú èr zhì ， suí hòu yī hòng ér sàn de xiāo shī 。
所有的幻影与真身别无二致，随后一哄而散的消失。
The Toxic Dragon Ancestor's face showed a hint of amusement. His complexion turned even paler, as if his mana and essence were being sucked away.
“ jǐng sǐ ！”
“井死！”
A dozen feet away, the demon sword became increasingly bizarre, emitting boundless malevolence, then vanished from sight.
dú lóng lǎo zǔ de liǎn shàng què liú lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， tā de liǎn sè biàn dé yuè fā de cāng bái rú zhǐ ， fǎng fú fǎ lì yǔ jīng xuè yī tóng bèi shén me dōng xī gěi xī le qù 。
毒龙老祖的脸上却流露出一丝笑意，他的脸色变得越发的苍白如纸，仿佛法力与精血一同被什么东西给吸了去。
Sizzle…
ér shù shí zhàng yuǎn chù ， nà mó jiàn què biàn dé yuè fā de yāo yì yǐ jí sàn fà zhe wú biān de lì qì ， yī shǎn ， yě cóng shì xiàn lǐ xiāo shī le zōng jì 。
而数十丈远处，那魔剑却变得越发的妖异以极散发着无边的戾气，一闪，也从视线里消失了踪迹。
Space was torn apart, and a scream filled Lin Xuan's ears. He stumbled out of it with his hand covering his abdomen, crimson blood seeping through.
cī lā …
刺啦…
What kind of treasure item could actually shatter reality and easily break through Phantom Illusion?
kōng jiān bèi sī pò ， cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lǐ miàn bàn suí zhe jīng yà zhī sè ， lín xuān diē diē zhuàng zhuàng de chū xiàn le 。
空间被撕破，惨叫声传入耳朵，里面伴随着惊讶之色，林轩跌跌撞撞的出现了。
At this point, Lin Xuan felt truly hopeless.
tā yòng shǒu wǔ zhe xiǎo fù ， yān hóng de xiān xuè bù tíng cóng lǐ miàn shèn chū 。
他用手捂着小腹，殷红的鲜血不停从里面渗出。
Would he really die in the middle of all these calculations, falling into a trap here?
zhè jiū jìng shì shén me bǎo wù ， jū rán néng pò suì xū kōng lián huàn yǐng dùn yě qīng yì jī pò 。
这究竟是什么宝物，居然能破碎虚空连幻影遁也轻易击破。
He had already exhausted all his abilities—whether it was a Heavenly Dao Treasure or a secret technique hidden away. None worked. Even escape opportunities were now gone. What should he do?
shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù ， lín xuān zhēn de yǒu diǎn jué wàng le 。
事情到了这一步，林轩真的有点绝望了。
The Toxic Dragon Ancestor wasn't having an easy time either. Using this magic item came with great costs, and the young man managed to dodge its critical points twice in a row. Damn it! He couldn't let him survive another time.
nán dào qiān suàn wàn suàn ， zì jǐ huì yīn gōu lǐ fān chuán ， sǐ zài zhè ge dì fāng me ？
难道千算万算，自己会阴沟里翻船，死在这个地方么？
He must strike to kill!
tā yǐ shén tōng jǐn chū ， bù guǎn shì tōng tiān líng bǎo ， hái shì yā xiāng dǐ de mì shù ， dōu méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， zuì hòu lián táo pǎo de jī huì yě bèi pò chú gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
他已神通尽出，不管是通天灵宝，还是压箱底的秘术，都没有效果，最后连逃跑的机会也被破除该怎么办呢？
"You won't struggle anymore. Just clean your neck and wait to be slaughtered!"
dú lóng lǎo zǔ yě bù hǎo guò ， shǐ yòng zhè jiàn mó qì shì yào fù chū jù dà dài jià de ， yī lián liǎng cì ， zhè xiǎo zi jū rán dōu néng jiāng yào hài duǒ guò ， kě wù ， xià yī huí ， bù néng zài ràng tā yǒu shēng hái de jī huì le 。
毒龙老祖也不好过，使用这件魔器是要付出巨大代价的，一连两次，这小子居然都能将要害躲过，可恶，下一回，不能再让他有生还的机会了。
With the old monster's venomous voice echoing in his ears, the demon sword activated again, but this time without breaking reality, moving at an extremely high speed instead.
bì xū yī jī bì shā ！
必须一击必杀！
This was less costly, but for Lin Xuan, the threat remained terrifying. His abdomen and right chest were pierced through, leaving him with a severe injury that wasn't life-threatening but certainly critical.
“ nǐ bù yòng zhēng zhá guāi guāi de xǐ gān jìng bó zi děng zǎi ba ！”
“你不用挣扎乖乖的洗干净脖子等宰吧！”
Biting his teeth, Lin Xuan injected all his mana into his eyes. He no longer cared about his injuries; he would first push the spirit eye technique to its limit.
suí zhe lǎo guài wù yuàn dú de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， mó jiàn yòu zài cì qǐ dòng ， bù guò zhè yī huí ， méi yǒu pò kāi xū kōng ， ér shì yǐ jí gāo de sù dù yí dòng 。
随着老怪物怨毒的声音传入耳朵，魔剑又再次启动，不过这一回，没有破开虚空，而是以极高的速度移动。
His entire eye was enveloped in silver light as an unusually blurry shadow finally appeared. Even with this, his situation remained extremely dire. Without injury, he couldn't dodge it either.
zhè yàng zuò sǔn hào yào xiǎo yì diǎn ， bù guò duì lín xuān lái shuō ， wēi xié yī jiù lìng rén chēng mù rú jīn tā xiǎo fù yòu xiōng jiē bèi dòng chuān ér guò ， zhì mìng shāng shuō bù shàng dàn yě jué bú huì qīng le 。
这样做损耗要小一点，不过对林轩来说，威胁依旧令人瞠目如今他小腹右胸皆被洞穿而过，致命伤说不上但也绝不会轻了。
"Use a treasure item for defense?"
yǎo le yǎo yá ， lín xuān jiāng hún shēn de fǎ lì ， zhù rù shuāng mù ， zhè shí hòu ， tā yǐ gù bù shàng shāng shì rú hé ， xiān jiāng líng yǎn lèi mì shù shī zhǎn dào jí zhì zài shuō 。
咬了咬牙，林轩将浑身的法力，注入双目，这时候，他已顾不上伤势如何，先将灵眼类秘术施展到极致再说。
This seemed feasible, but the demon sword's sharpness far surpassed even Heavenly Dao Treasures; the Green Flame Qilin Armor was like paper and easily pierced; the Black Gold Dragon Shield had already been destroyed…
zhěng gè yǎn jīng dōu bèi yín máng bāo guǒ ， yī mó hú yì cháng de yǐng zi zhōng yú chū xiàn le ， bù guò jí biàn bǔ zhuō dào xíng jì ， lín xuān de chǔ jìng ， yī jiù jiān nán wú bǐ ， jí biàn shì méi yǒu shāng ， tā yě duǒ bù guò ， gèng bú yào shuō xiàn zài zhěng gè yàng zi 。
整个眼睛都被银芒包裹，一模糊异常的影子终于出现了，不过即便捕捉到行迹，林轩的处境，依旧艰难无比，即便是没有伤，他也躲不过，更不要说现在整个样子。
In truth, Lin Xuan knew that even if this treasure were intact, it would be useless.
nà ”“ yòng bǎo wù fáng yù ？
那”“用宝物防御？
Perhaps the Thousand Illusion Jiaotou Shield in Mo'er's hands could block it, but on his body… Desperate!
zhè zhǐ shì kàn shì kě xíng ér jǐ nà mó jiàn zhī fēng lì ， lián tōng tiān líng bǎo yě pāi mǎ bù jí ， bì yàn qí lín jiǎ yǒu rú zhǐ hú ， bèi qīng yì dòng chuān ér guò ， wū jīn lóng jiǎ dùn yòu zǎo yǐ huǐ le ”“”
这只是看似可行而己那魔剑之锋利，连通天灵宝也拍马不及，碧焰麒麟甲有如纸糊，被轻易洞穿而过，乌金龙甲盾又早已毁了”“”
Just as he was facing life and death, a glimmer of light flashed through Lin Xuan's mind. He flicked his sleeves, and a square treasure item flew out, golden yellow with five coiling dragons at the corners and center.
qí shí lín xuān xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， jiù suàn cǐ bǎo wán hǎo wú sǔn ， yě sī háo zuò yòng yě wú 。
其实林轩心里有数，就算此宝完好无损，也丝毫作用也无。
It looked like an imperial seal from the mortal world but more magnificent.
yuè ér shǒu zhōng de qiān huàn jiāo wén dùn yě xǔ kě yǐ dǎng zhù ， bù guò zì jǐ shēn shàng me jué wàng ！
月儿手中的千幻蛟纹盾也许可以挡住，不过自己身上么绝望！
He didn't fully understand its true purpose, but it was incredibly sturdy. Desperate times called for desperate measures; Lin Xuan had no choice but to use this.
jiù zài zhè shēng sǐ cún wáng zhī jì ， lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng què shǎn guò yī sī líng guāng ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī sì sì fāng fāng de bǎo wù fēi lüè ér chū ， tōng tǐ zuò jīn huáng zhī sè ， zài biān jiǎo yǔ 〖 zhōng 〗 yāng hái yǒu wǔ tiáo jīn lóng chán rào 。
就在这生死存亡之际，林轩脑海中却闪过一丝灵光，袖袍一拂，一四四方方的宝物飞掠而出，通体做金黄之色，在边角与〖中〗央还有五条金龙缠绕。
Even if it could only slightly stall him, that would be good enough.
kàn shàng qù ， yǒu jǐ fēn xiàng shì sú huáng dì suǒ yòng de yù xǐ ， bù guò gèng jiā de huá měi guī lì 。
看上去，有几分像世俗皇帝所用的玉玺，不过更加的华美瑰丽。
The Toxic Dragon Ancestor naturally noticed this, showing disdain. What kind of trash treasure item did he think could block his magic weapon's attack? Suicide!
zhè dōng xī ， zhēn zhèng de yòng tú lín xuān méi yǒu nòng qīng chǔ ， bù guò qí jiān yìng chéng dù ， dǎo shì yī děng yī ， suǒ wèi bìng jí luàn tóu yī ， lín xuān jiāng xī jì chū ， yě shí shǔ wú nài zhī jǔ 。
这东西，真正的用途林轩没有弄清楚，不过其坚硬程度，倒是一等一，所谓病急乱投医，林轩将牺祭出，也实属无奈之举。
This time, he wouldn't give Lin Xuan any chance. The treasure aimed for his heart.
jiù suàn néng gòu shāo wēi zǔ shàng yī xià yě shì hǎo dì 。
就算能够稍微阻上一下也是好地。
The Five-Dragon Seal also stood there.
lín xuān cǐ jǔ ， dú lóng lǎo zǔ zì rán kàn zài yǎn lǐ ， què mǎn shì bù xiè zhī yì ， shén me lā jī bǎo wù ， yě xiǎng yào zǔ dǎng zì jǐ mó qì de gōng jī ， zhǎo sǐ ！
林轩此举，毒龙老祖自然看在眼里，却满是不屑之意，什么垃圾宝物，也想要阻挡自己魔器的攻击，找死！
Soon, the attack arrived and collided with it fiercely.
zhè yī cì ， tā bú huì zài gěi lín xuān shēng jī ， bǎo wù miáo zhǔn de ， zhèng shì lín xuān de xīn zàng wèi zhì 。
这一次，他不会再给林轩生机，宝物瞄准的，正是林轩的心脏位置。
What followed was a strange scene.
wǔ lóng xǐ yě dǎng zài nà lǐ 。
五龙玺也挡在那里。
Silent and invisible, the sword seemed to be sucked in.
hěn kuài ， gōng jī rú qī ér zhì ， yǔ cǐ bǎo hěn hěn de zhuàng zài yì qǐ 。
很快，攻击如期而至，与此宝狠狠的撞在一起。
Not pierced but integrated; the process felt like mana being injected into the treasure item.
jiē xià lái de yí mù ， què shí fēn guǐ yì 。
接下来的一幕，却十分诡异。
Though the entire process was swift, for some reason, it appeared as if a mysterious force had slowed everything down. Lin Xuan and the Toxic Dragon Ancestor could see every detail clearly.
wú shēng wú xī ， nà jiàn jū rán bèi xī le jìn qù 。
无声无息，那剑居然被吸了进去。
When the tip of the sword touched the surface of the Five-Dragon Seal, the seal seemed to become like water, allowing the sword to pierce through and swallow it completely.
zhù yì ， bú shì cì chuān ， ér shì róng rù ， nà guò chéng ， jiù fǎng fú shì jiāng líng lì ， zhù rù dào fǎ bǎo lǐ 。
注意，不是刺穿，而是融入，那过程，就仿佛是将灵力，注入到法宝里。
The magic weapon vanished!
zhěng gè guò chéng shuō qǐ lái xùn sù ， dàn bù zhī wèi hé ， què fǎng fú bèi yī gǔ guǐ yì lì liàng nòng dé xiàng shì fàng màn liǎo wú shù bèi shì de ， lín xuān yǔ dú lóng lǎo zǔ dōu kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
整个过程说起来迅速，但不知为何，却仿佛被一股诡异力量弄得像是放慢了无数倍似的，林轩与毒龙老祖都看得清清楚楚。
As if it never existed.
zhǐ jiàn dāng jiàn jiān jiē chù dào wǔ lóng xǐ de biǎo miàn ， wǔ lóng xǐ jìng fǎng fú biàn dé rú tóng shuǐ zuò de yì bān ， zhí jiē ràng jiàn cì le jìn qù ， suí hòu jiāng xī tūn shì 。
只见当剑尖接触到五龙玺的表面，五龙玺竟仿佛变得如同水做的一般，直接让剑刺了进去，随后将牺吞噬。
Not… not only that. The strange red aura in the sky also converged toward the Five-Dragon Seal, being sucked inside.
mó qì xiāo shī ！
魔器消失！
"This…"
fǎng fú cóng lái yě bù céng chū xiàn guò 。
仿佛从来也不曾出现过。
The Toxic Dragon Ancestor was nearly speechless. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it. He muttered to himself like a madman: "Impossible… This treasure item is from when we fought the Demon Realm back then; its power even surpasses Heavenly Dao Treasures. How could it be absorbed?"
bù ”…… bù jǐn rú cǐ ， lián tiān kōng zhōng nà céng yāo yì de hóng sè yě fǎng fú wàn liú guī zōng yī yàng ， xiàng wǔ lóng xǐ kuáng yǒng ér qù ， bèi xī rù jìn qù 。
不”……不仅如此，连天空中那层妖异的红色也仿佛万流归宗一样，像五龙玺狂涌而去，被吸入进去。
Lin Xuan's expression was similar. His greatest hope was that the Five-Dragon Seal would block, but he never expected such an outcome.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
What kind of treasure item was this? It seemed to have secrets beyond comprehension.
dú lóng lǎo zǔ jī hū shǎ le ， ruò bú shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， dǎ sǐ tā yě bú huì xiāng xìn de ，。 zhōng nán nán zì yǔ ， jiù xiàng yí gè fēng zi ：“ bù bù kě néng ， zhè bǎo wù ， kě shì dāng nián yǔ mó jiè dà zhàn de shí hòu ， yī wèi mó zǔ liú xià lái de ， qí wēi lì ， shèn zhì hái yào shèng Ｏ guò tōng tiān líng bǎo ， zěn me kě néng ”““ zěn me kě néng bèi xī shōu diào 。”
毒龙老祖几乎傻了，若不是亲眼目睹，打死他也不会相信的，。中喃喃自语，就像一个疯子：“不不可能，这宝物，可是当年与魔界大战的时候，一位魔祖留下来的，其威力，甚至还要胜Ｏ过通天灵宝，怎么可能”““怎么可能被吸收掉。”
Before his thoughts fully formed, the Five-Dragon Seal in front of him began to change. A black dot appeared on its surface and quickly spread until it turned pitch-black like ink. Then, a pure malevolent aura emanated from within.
With too many doubts in his heart, Lin Xuan had no time to ponder. The aura of malevolence was surging skyward, and he found himself trapped in an unprecedentedly dangerous situation.
Since entering the cultivation world, Lin Xuan had faced life-and-death situations multiple times, but never before had it been as perilous as now.
The lung leaf in his chest was pierced by a higher-stage Daoist Void enemy. The treasure item in his hand was also awe-inspiring; although he didn't know who had forged the talisman artifact, its terrifying and bizarre nature far surpassed even the Demon缘 Sword.
While the treasure items were tempting, Lin Xuan no longer wanted them at this moment. Borrowing a phrase from the mortal world: money is but an external thing; preserving one's life was most important.
Without hesitation, Lin Xuan emitted a bluish-green glow all over his body. His hands traced strange trajectories in mid-air as ancient incantations entered his ears.
