寒光耀目，冰冷的杀气更是奇寒彻骨，黑风尊者脑袋虽然依旧混混僵僵的”但毕竟是离合期顶峰的人物，在这关键时刻，还是清醒过来了。
The cold light flashed, and the icy killing aura was even more bone-chilling. Although Black Wind Venerable's head remained somewhat muddled, as a peak Separation Period cultivator, he had woken up in time at this critical moment.
yòu shǒu yī fú ， yī dào qī hēi de dāo qì cóng yī xiù zhōng 〖 jī 〗 shè chū qù 。
右手一拂，一道漆黑的刀气从衣袖中〖激〗射出去。
With a flick of his right hand, a black blade energy shot out from his sleeve.
yǔ lín xuān de jiàn máng zhuàng zài yì qǐ 。
与林轩的剑芒撞在一起。
It collided with Lin Xuan’s sword light.
liǎng dào gōng jī ” tóng shí huà wèi le xū wú 。
两道攻击”同时化为了虚无。
Both attacks turned into nothingness simultaneously.
lín xuān liǎn shàng bìng méi yǒu lù chū shī wàng zhī sè ， suī rán zhōng le jù dú ， dàn rú guǒ zhè me yī zhāo jiù néng shā le hēi fēng zūn zhě ， duì fāng wèi miǎn yě xiǎn de tài guò shuǐ huǒ ” ér zhè ， xiǎn rán shì bù kě néng de 。
林轩脸上并没有露出失望之色，虽然中了剧毒，但如果这么一招就能杀了黑风尊者，对方未免也显得太过水火”而这，显然是不可能的。
Lin Xuan did not show any signs of disappointment on his face. Although he had been poisoned, if one move could have killed Black Wind Venerable, the other party would be too weak to handle this situation. This was clearly impossible.
“ nǐ jiū jìng shì shuí ？”
“你究竟是谁？”
"Who are you?"
hēi fēng zūn zhě yī zì yī dùn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lǐ miàn dài zhe yuàn dú ， tā zhè shí hòu jiǔ méi yǒu wán quán qīng xǐng ， dàn yǎn jīng yǐ jīng huī fù le qīng míng 。
黑风尊者一字一顿的声音传入耳朵，里面带着怨毒，他这时候酒没有完全清醒，但眼睛已经恢复了清明。
Black Wind Venerable’s voice, dripping with venom, sounded in Lin Xuan's ears. He was still not fully sober but his eyes had regained clarity.
hēi fēng dào de shǒu lǐng ， zì rán yě shì yí dài xiāo xióng ， lǐng zhuó shǒu xià zòng héng hùn luàn hǎi yù ， gè zhǒng dà chǎng miàn zì rán shì jiàn guò hěn duō dì 。
黑风盗的首领，自然也是一代枭雄，领着手下纵横混乱海域，各种大场面自然是见过很多地。
As the leader of Black Wind Bandits, he was naturally a formidable figure who had seen many grand scenes while leading his subordinates through the chaotic seas.
suǒ yǐ tā dì yī shí jiān ， jiù fā xiàn le lín xuān shì wò dǐ 。
所以他第一时间，就发现了林轩是卧底。
He immediately realized that Lin Xuan was an undercover agent.
“ gé xià guān chá lì hái bú cuò ， kě xiàn zài cái fā xiàn lín mǒu de shēn fèn ， bù xián yǐ jīng wǎn le ？”
“阁下观察力还不错，可现在才发现林某的身份，不嫌已经晚了？”
"Your observational skills are quite impressive, but you're too late to realize my identity," came a smile in response. Lin Xuan’s body emitted a faint green glow, and his figure blurred as he revealed his true form.
wēi xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu lín xuān shēn shàng qīng máng shǎn shuò ， zhěng gè shēn yǐng yī piàn mó hú ， yǐ jīng huī fù le běn lái miàn mù 。
微笑的声音传入耳朵，随后林轩身上青芒闪烁，整个身影一片模糊，已经恢复了本来面目。
Black Wind Venerable's eyes showed a hint of confusion, then he turned his gaze towards the Second-in-Command with a cruel look.
bìng bù rèn shí ， hēi fēng zūn zhě móu dǐ shēn chù ， yǐn yǐn shǎn guò jǐ fēn máng rán zhī sè ， suí hòu zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， hěn dú de mù guāng luò zài èr dāng jiā shēn shàng le 。
并不认识，黑风尊者眸底深处，隐隐闪过几分茫然之色，随后转过头颅，狠毒的目光落在二当家身上了。
"Second, you actually conspired with outsiders to plot against me?"
“ lǎo èr ， nǐ jū rán huǒ tóng wài rén yì qǐ suàn jì wǒ ？”
“老二，你居然伙同外人一起算计我？”
It was like being targeted by a venomous snake; the Second-in-Command’s heart pounded. However, at this point, there was no turning back as his fate and future were still in Lin Xuan's hands.
fǎng fú bèi dú shé dīng zhù ， èr dāng jiā de xīn yǒu rú dǎ gǔ ” bù guò shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù ” zì rán shì méi yǒu zhuǎn huán de yú dì le ， zì jǐ de mìng yùn yǔ qián tú ” hái niē zài lín xuān shǒu zhōng 。
仿佛被毒蛇盯住，二当家的心有如打鼓”不过事情到了这一步”自然是没有转圜的余地了，自己的命运与前途”还捏在林轩手中。
Realizing this, he smirked: "Even if I betray my allies for personal gain, what of it? Black Wind, do you think that a mere Separation Period cultivator can handle me today? Are you so desperate to die?"
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， èr dāng jiā yǐ xīn lǐ qīng chǔ ， zhè shí hòu zì jǐ gāi zěn me zuò ， tā yě lěng xiào qǐ lái le ：“ wǒ jiù shì chī lǐ pá wài ， nà yòu rú hé ” hēi fēng ， nǐ yǐ wéi zì jǐ ” jīn tiān hái yǒu huó lù ， zěn me ， dāng zhe lín qián bèi de miàn ， nǐ hái xiǎng yǎo wǒ ？”
想到这里，二当家已心里清楚，这时候自己该怎么做，他也冷笑起来了：“我就是吃里爬外，那又如何”黑风，你以为自己”今天还有活路，怎么，当着林前辈的面，你还想咬我？”
Before the words left his mouth, he roared and summoned an unusual treasure. It looked like a pair of scissors but was more menacing in appearance, resembling the sharp jaws of a crocodile.
zhè jiā huo ，ΝniеpοΜ
这家伙，ΝniеpοΜ
Crocus Scissors!
lín xuān biǎo miàn bù dòng shēng sè ” xīn xià lǐ ， yě bù yóu de àn zì dí gū ， dào zéi ， guǒ rán dōu shì xiē wú qíng wú yì de jiā huo 。
林轩表面不动声色”心下里，也不由得暗自嘀咕，盗贼，果然都是些无情无义的家伙。
The Second-in-Command was shocked. He knew this was his master’s life essence weapon, forged from Black Yang Cold Iron with over ten rare materials added, all sharpened by thousands of years of cultivation. It was incredibly sharp.
dāng rán ， tā liǎ fǎn mù chéng chóu ， duì zì jǐ shì yǒu jué dà de hǎo chù 。
当然，他俩反目成仇，对自己是有绝大的好处。
This item could be considered a unique treasure. Facing such a formidable opponent, the ordinary treasures of other cultivators would not be used to directly engage; even less so with his inferior strength and weaker weapon. Seeing the enemy’s resentful attack, he fled towards Lin Xuan: "Senior, save me."
“ hǎo ， hǎo 。”
“好，好。”
"Pathetic."
dé dào de huí dá ， dà chū yù liào ， hēi fēng zūn zhě qì dé yuán dèng shuāng mù ， yǎn jīng lǐ fǎng fú zài mào huǒ ：“ lǎo èr ， nǐ shì zhǎng běn shì le ， bù guò nǐ yě tài zūn zhě ， yǐ wéi lián hé qū qū yī lí hé zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， jiù kě yǐ duì fù wǒ ， wǒ kàn nǐ shì bù zhī sǐ huó 。”
得到的回答，大出预料，黑风尊者气得圆瞪双目，眼睛里仿佛在冒火：“老二，你是长本事了，不过你也太尊者，以为联合区区一离合中期的修仙者，就可以对付我，我看你是不知死活。”
Black Wind Venerable's face was filled with disdain. He called a Separation Period cultivator ‘senior’ while seeking help from an opponent; this Second-in-Command had lost all dignity.
huà yīn wèi luò ” tā jiù yī shēng dà hē ， jiāng yī shì yàng qí tè de fǎ bǎo jì chū ， kàn shàng qù xiàng shì yī bǐng jiǎn dāo ， bù guò mài xiàng yào gèng jiā xiōng è ， jiù fǎng fú zhǎn yú de zuǐ bā shì de 。
话音未落”他就一声大喝，将一式样奇特的法宝祭出，看上去像是一柄剪刀，不过卖相要更加凶恶，就仿佛崭鱼的嘴巴似的。
Despite his thoughts, his actions did not slow down as he cast the spell and sent the Crocus Scissors flying towards Lin Xuan.
chán yú jiǎn ！
蟾鱼剪！
Lin Xuan had heard about Black Wind Venerable’s weapon before. His face showed no surprise when he raised his right hand with fingers slightly curled, seemingly trying to grab it.
èr dāng jiā dà jīng shī sè ， zuò le qiān yú nián de xiōng dì ， lǎo dà de běn mìng fǎ bǎo tā qǐ huì bù shí dé ， nǎi shì yòng wū yáng hán tiě suǒ zhù ” lǐ miàn tiān jiā de zhēn xī cái liào yǒu shí yú zhǒng zhī duō ， wú yī bú shì shǎo jiàn zhī wù ， zài jīng guò lǎo dà shù qiān nián yòng yīng huǒ mó lì ” duān de shì fēng ruì wú bǐ 。
二当家大惊失色，做了千余年的兄弟，老大的本命法宝他岂会不识得，乃是用乌阳寒铁所铸”里面添加的珍稀材料有十余种之多，无一不是少见之物，再经过老大数千年用婴火磨砺”端的是锋锐无比。
"What...?"
zhè dōng xī ， yě suàn shì qí mén bǎo wù ， yì bān de fǎ bǎo yǔ qí dòu fǎ ， kā chā yī shēng jiù néng jiǎn shuāi èr dāng jiā shí lì běn jiù bù jí ， bǎo wù gèng bù rú duì fāng xī lì ” yǎn jiàn duì fāng hán hèn dǎ lái ， tā jū rán bào tóu shǔ cuàn ” táo xiàng le lín xuān zhè biān ：“ qián bèi jiù wǒ 。”
这东西，也算是奇门宝物，一般的法宝与其斗法，咔嚓一声就能剪摔二当家实力本就不及，宝物更不如对方犀利”眼见对方含恨打来，他居然抱头鼠窜”逃像了林轩这边：“前辈救我。”
Both Black Wind Venerable and the Second-in-Command were dumbfounded. As experienced cultivators, they had never encountered such a formidable opponent; even less so a common cultivator’s treasure that would be used for direct engagement?
“ méi chū xī 。”
“没出息。”
Unless it was somedemon race with extraordinary talent.
hēi fēng zūn zhě de liǎn shàng mǎn shì bù xiè zhī yì ， jū rán chēng hū yī zhōng qī xiū shì wèi qián bèi ， hái xiàng duì shǒu qiú yuán ， zhè lǎo èr ， shén me shí hòu biàn dé rú cǐ bú yào liǎn 。
黑风尊者的脸上满是不屑之意，居然称呼一中期修士为前辈，还像对手求援，这老二，什么时候变得如此不要脸。
Before this thought could fully form in Lin Xuan's mind, a strong demonic aura emanated from him.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， tā shǒu xià de dòng zuò què yì diǎn bù màn ， fǎ jué yī zhuǎn ， nà kuò yú jiǎn jiù hěn hěn de fēi dào le lín xuān de miàn qián 。
心中如此想着，他手下的动作却一点不慢，法诀一转，那蛞鱼剪就狠狠的飞到了林轩的面前。
Of course, unlike true demons, he was using the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens technique. His right hand transformed into sharp claws, and three-colored flames appeared.
lái de shí hòu ， lín xuān yě céng tīng èr dāng jiā tí guò hēi fēng zūn zhě zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， liǎn shàng zì rán méi yǒu shén me chà yì lù chū ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， wǔ zhǐ wēi qū ， jū rán xiàng nà bǎo wù zhuā le guò qù 。
来的时候，林轩也曾听二当家提过黑风尊者这件宝物，脸上自然没有什么诧异露出，右手抬起，五指微屈，居然像那宝物抓了过去。
While transforming into a demon was a secret art, Lin Xuan was still wary of facing a Separation Period cultivator’s treasure. However, with the added effect of Illusory Heavenly Fire, his chances were high.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
Lin Xuan's actions seemed arrogant and reckless, as if not thinking through them, but that could never be true for someone as cautious as him. He had carefully considered this move.
bù lùn hēi fēng zūn zhě hái shì èr dāng jiā dōu chēng mù jié shé ， tā men hǎo dǎi yě suàn pǒ yǒu jiàn shí de rén wù ， kě zhè me biāo hàn de duì shǒu hái cóng wèi jiàn guò ， bié shuō è yú jiǎn le ， jiù suàn shì pǔ tōng xiū shì de bǎo wù ” yǒu rén huì yòng shēn tǐ qù yìng jiē me ？
不论黑风尊者还是二当家都瞠目结舌，他们好歹也算颇有见识的人物，可这么彪悍的对手还从未见过，别说鳄鱼剪了，就算是普通修士的宝物”有人会用身体去硬接么？
"Demonic Cultivator!"
chú fēi shì nà zhǒng tiān fù yì bǐng de yāo zú 。
除非是那种天赋异禀的妖族。
Black Wind Venerable’s pupils constricted but he did not pay too much attention. Even a mere demonic transformation technique was nothing to worry about; even the true demons of Separation Period would make a fool of themselves by directly engaging his Crocus Scissors.
zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān shēn shàng jiù yǒu nóng liè de yāo qì zǎo chū 。
这个念头尚未转过，林轩身上就有浓烈的妖气早出。
Overconfidence always comes with a price.
dāng rán ， yǔ zhēn zhèng de yāo zú dà bù xiāng tóng ， cǐ shí tā suǒ shǐ yòng de ， yīng gāi shì fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué shén tōng 。
当然，与真正的妖族大不相同，此时他所使用的，应该是凤舞九天诀神通。
Now, Black Wind Venerable waited for Lin Xuan's humiliation.
yòu shǒu biàn wèi le lì zhuǎ ， tóng shí hái yǒu sān sè huǒ yàn fú xiàn ér chū 。
右手变为了利爪，同时还有三色火焰浮现而出。
However, in the next moment, it was Black Wind Venerable who was stunned. An unbelievable scene unfolded before him.
jǐn jǐn shì yāo huà yī zhǒng mì shù ， yìng káng lí hòu xiū shì de fǎ bǎo lín xuān xīn zhōng hái shì yǒu diǎn dǎ gǔ ， rán ér zài jiā shàng huàn líng tiān huǒ ， zhè bǎ wò jiù shì shí zú 。
仅仅是妖化一种秘术，硬扛离后修士的法宝林轩心中还是有点打鼓，然而再加上幻灵天火，这把握就是十足。
The Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens technique could not be measured by ordinary demonic cultivators; it mimicked the secrets of the phoenix, a bird among the true spirits ranked among the top five for its immense power.
lín xuān de dòng zuò ， kàn qǐ lái xiāo zhāng bá hù ， fǎng fú bù jīng dà nǎo sī suǒ ， rán ér nà zěn me kě néng ne ” yǐ tā xiǎo xīn jǐn shèn de xìng gé ， gǎn zhè me zuò ， kěn dìng shì jīng guò yī fān zhōu mì kǎo lǜ de 。
林轩的动作，看起来嚣张跋扈，仿佛不经大脑思索，然而那怎么可能呢”以他小心谨慎的性格，敢这么做，肯定是经过一番周密考虑的。
Moreover, the version Lin Xuan had obtained from Hundred Grass Sect was improved after Xuanfeng Fairy’s ascension. After re-merging and comprehending this technique, his strength had naturally increased.
“ xiū yāo zhě ！”
“修妖者！”
Apart from that, his body's resilience post-demon transformation was on par with other demons of the same rank. He had been persistently consuming refined Nekrasia fruits for days without interruption, significantly enhancing his physical condition.
hēi fēng zūn zhě yě shì tóng kǒng wēi suō ， rán ér bìng méi yǒu tài zài yì ， bié shuō qū qū de yāo huà shén tōng ， jiù suàn shì zhēn zhèng de lí hé qī yāo zú lái dào cǐ chù ， gǎn yìng jiē zì jǐ de kuò yú jiǎn ， nà tóng yàng shì hěn yú chǔn de 。
黑风尊者也是瞳孔微缩，然而并没有太在意，别说区区的妖化神通，就算是真正的离合期妖族来到此处，敢硬接自己的蛞鱼剪，那同样是很愚蠢的。
Adding Illusory Heavenly Fire, the divine nature of this demonic flame could mitigate half or more of the Crocus Scissors’ power.
tài guò tuō dà ， zǒng huì fù chū dài jià 。
太过托大，总会付出代价。
The result was obvious; the weapon barely scratched Lin Xuan’s skin.
rú jīn tā yǐ jīng děng zhe kàn lín xuān de xiào huà 。
如今他已经等着看林轩的笑话。
Black Wind Venerable was speechless, almost thinking he had seen a mirage. However...
rán ér xià yī kè ， què shì hēi fēng zūn zhě zì jǐ jīng dāi le ” yīn wèi yǎn qián ， fā shēng le bù kě sī yì de yí mù 。
然而下一刻，却是黑风尊者自己惊呆了”因为眼前，发生了不可思议的一幕。
This was not the worst outcome.
fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué ， zěn me néng yòng pǔ tōng xiū yāo zhě de shuǐ zhǔn ， qù héng liáng ne ， nà shì mó fǎng bǎi niǎo zhī wáng fèng huáng de mì shù 。
凤舞九天诀，怎么能用普通修妖者的水准，去衡量呢，那是模仿百鸟之王凤凰的秘术。
Subsequently, Illusory Heavenly Fire enveloped his treasure. The inevitable result was that the coldness, poison, and corrosion effects combined to destroy it. Apart from supreme divine treasures, ordinary treasures could not withstand such an attack.
jí shǐ zài suǒ yǒu de zhēn líng zhī zhōng ， fèng huáng yě pái míng qián wǔ ， shí lì jué duì bù róng fēn háo xiǎo qiǎo qīng rǔ 。
即使在所有的真灵之中，凤凰也排名前五，实力绝对不容分毫小巧轻辱。
The result was catastrophic; the Crocus Scissors were completely destroyed by Illusory Heavenly Fire right before Black Wind Venerable's eyes.
ér qiě lín xuān zài bǎi cǎo mén ， dé dào de fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué hái yǔ tā yǐ qián xiū xí de bù tóng ” nǎi shì xuán fèng xiān zi fēi shēng yǐ hòu ， gǎi liáng bǎn de 。
而且林轩在百草门，得到的凤舞九天诀还与他以前修习的不同”乃是玄凤仙子飞升以后，改良版的。
"This is impossible; it must be a illusion."!!
The cold light flashed, and the icy killing aura was even more bone-chilling. Although Black Wind Venerable's head remained somewhat muddled, as a peak Separation Period cultivator, he had woken up in time at this critical moment.
With a flick of his right hand, a black blade energy shot out from his sleeve.
Boom!
It collided with Lin Xuan’s sword light.
Both attacks turned into nothingness simultaneously.
Lin Xuan did not show any signs of disappointment on his face. Although he had been poisoned, if one move could have killed Black Wind Venerable, the other party would be too weak to handle this situation. This was clearly impossible.
"Who are you?"
Black Wind Venerable’s voice, dripping with venom, sounded in Lin Xuan's ears. He was still not fully sober but his eyes had regained clarity.
As the leader of Black Wind Bandits, he was naturally a formidable figure who had seen many grand scenes while leading his subordinates through the chaotic seas.
