tā de dòng zuò bù kě wèi bù xùn sù ， rán ér hòu miàn liǎng míng fāng yīng xiū shì de fǎn yìng ， què míng xiǎn yào màn shàng yī chóu ， suī yě chōu shēn tuì hòu ， què bèi chóng yún gěi chán shàng le 。
他的动作不可谓不迅速，然而后面两名方婴修士的反应，却明显要慢上一筹，虽也抽身退后，却被虫云给缠上了。
His movements were swift, but the reactions of the two Fáng Yīn cultivators behind him were noticeably slower. Although they managed to retreat, they were ensnared by the insect cloud.
“ a ！”， qī lì de cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhè me jìn de jù lí ， liǎng rén gēn běn jiù lái bù jí jì chū bǎo wù ， hù tǐ líng guāng yě bèi qīng ér yì jǔ de tū pò ， cóng tóu dào jiǎo ， shēn shàng de měi yī cùn jī fū ， dōu pá mǎn le mó chóng 。
“啊！”，凄厉的惨叫声传入耳朵，这么近的距离，两人根本就来不及祭出宝物，护体灵光也被轻而易举的突破，从头到脚，身上的每一寸肌肤，都爬满了魔虫。
"Ahh!" The piercing screams filled his ears. At such close range, there was no time for them to summon their treasures; their protective aura was easily broken through. Every inch of their bodies was covered in demonic insects from head to toe.
nà zhǒng gǎn shòu ， hěn nán yòng yán yǔ miáo shù ， dàn shēng bù rú sǐ shì kěn dìng de ， lùn qī cǎn chéng dù ， chōu hún liàn pò yě bù wài rú cǐ le 。
那种感受，很难用言语描述，但生不如死是肯定的，论凄惨程度，抽魂炼魄也不外如此了。
The sensation was indescribable, but it was certainly a living hell. The torment was akin to having one's soul and essence torn apart.
jǐn jǐn jǐ xī de gōng fu ， liǎng rén lián cǎn jiào dōu biàn dé ruò yǒu ruò wú ， suí hòu pēng de yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， liǎng míng yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， jū rán bù yuē ér tóng de xuǎn zé zì bào le 。
仅仅几息的功夫，两人连惨叫都变得若有若无，随后嘭的一声巨响传入耳朵，两名元婴期修仙者，居然不约而同的选择自爆了。
In just a few breaths, the screams became fainter until they were barely audible. Then, with a loud explosion, the two Core Formation cultivators chose to self-destruct simultaneously.
nà wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yòu yǒu shù yǐ wàn jì de xuè huǒ yǐ bèi zhà chéng le fěn mò ， rán ér zhè diǎn shù liàng xiāng duì yú xī men páng dà de guī mó ， gēn běn jiù bù suàn shén me ， shèng biàn de mó chóng ， gēn běn jiù bù zhī dào wèi jù yǔ sǐ wáng wèi hé wù ， qián pū hòu jì de xiàng nà qún xiū shì fēng yōng ér qù 。
那威力非同小可，又有数以万计的血火蚁被炸成了粉末，然而这点数量相对于牺们庞大的规模，根本就不算什么，剩卞的魔虫，根本就不知道畏惧与死亡为何物，前仆后继的像那群修士蜂拥而去。
The power of their self-destruction was formidable, and countless Bloodfire Ants turned into dust. However, this number was insignificant compared to the vast scale of their enemies. The remaining demonic insects showed no fear or regard for death; they continued to swarm the cultivators like a horde of bees.
zhòng rén zǎo yǐ dǎn hán ， shuí yě méi yǒu liào dào jū rán shì zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， yuán běn zhè qún xiū shì yě suàn shēn jīng bǎi zhàn de rén wù ， kě miàn duì rú cǐ kě pà de mó chóng ， tā men lián yǔ zhī yī zhàn de yǒng qì dōu méi yǒu 。
众人早已胆寒，谁也没有料到居然是这样的结果，原本这群修士也算身经百战的人物，可面对如此可怕的魔虫，他们连与之一战的勇气都没有。
Everyone had already been terrified, and none anticipated such an outcome. Originally, these cultivators were seasoned veterans, but in the face of such terrifying demonic insects, they lacked the will to fight on.
bù zhī dào shuí yī shēng jīng hū ， suí hòu bù guǎn bù gù ， zhuǎn shēn táo zǒu ， qí tā rén dī shì qì ， yuán běn jiù yǐ diē luò dào gǔ dǐ ， zhè yī jiàn yǒu rén dài tóu ， nà zì jǐ hái liú zài zhè lǐ zuò shén me ， yě fēn fēn sì sàn ér táo ， zuò niǎo shòu sàn le 。
不知道谁一声惊呼，随后不管不顾，转身逃走，其他人的士气，原本就已跌落到谷底，这一见有人带头，那自己还留在这里做什么，也纷纷四散而逃，作鸟兽散了。
A thought flashed through his mind as he sent out a mental command.
hóng fā lǎo zhě jīng nù jiāo jí ， rán ér shì qíng fā zhǎn dào zhè zhòng dì bù ， tā yòu néng rú hé ， xiǎn rán shì wú lì huí tiān le 。
红发老者惊怒交集，然而事情发展到这种地步，他又能如何，显然是无力回天了。
"Buzz."
liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī ào nǎo zhī sè ， yě chōu shēn táo zǒu ， bù guò yǎn zhōng de yuàn dú què shì xiǎn ér yì jiàn de ， wú lùn rú hé ， tā yě bú huì shàn bà gān xiū 。
脸上闪过一丝懊恼之色，也抽身逃走，不过眼中的怨毒却是显而易见的，无论如何，他也不会善罢甘休。
The Bloodfire Ants flew back like a whale sucking water, their white light flickering before retreating into the Ten Thousand Souls Tower. The Core Formation then opened its mouth and emitted a burst of light, shrinking the treasure before swallowing it whole.
“ xiǎng zǒu ？”， lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè ， fàng hǔ guī shān ， hòu huàn wú qióng ” bié de bù shuō ， bǎi cǎo mén de mì mì zǒng duò ” kě jiù chè dǐ bào lù ， lín xuān yòu zěn me huì fàng rèn zhè zhǒng shì qíng fā shēng ne ？
“想走？”，林轩嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲之色，放虎归山，后患无穷”别的不说，百草门的秘密总舵”可就彻底暴露，林轩又怎么会放任这种事情发生呢？
The red-haired old man's brows furrowed as his expression fluctuated with uncertainty. He understood his situation well; he knew that if this continued, he would eventually meet his end. Why had the other suddenly stopped?
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
Was there a trap?
zhǐ jiàn tā jiē lián jǐ dào fǎ jué xiàng xuè huǒ yǐ diǎn qù ， suí hòu ， chóng qún fā shēng le bù kě sī yì de yí mù 。
只见他接连几道法诀像血火蚁点去，随后，虫群发生了不可思议的一幕。
His thoughts raced, but he didn't dwell on it too much. The enemy was far more formidable than expected, and this insect control technique alone had him pinned down.
“ wēng ”， de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， xī men fēn kāi huà wèi wú shù gǔ ” fēn bié jù hé ， zhǐ jiàn hóng máng shǎn shuò ， yī hěn hěn xuè hóng sè de cháng máo chū xiàn le 。
“嗡”，的声音传入耳朵，牺们分开化为无数股”分别聚合，只见红芒闪烁，一狠狠血红色的长矛出现了。
With all his disciples defeated, he felt intense hatred, but he knew that staying here would only bring him harm.
zhè zhǒng jià zhù mó chóng de fāng fǎ ， lín xuān shì cóng yù líng xīn dé zhōng suǒ xué ， qū shǐ chóng qún yù dí ， yě shì yǒu hěn duō jiǎng jiū dì ， yī yōng ér shàng shì zuì yú chǔn de ， xiàng yǎn qián zhè zhǒng ” ràng chóng qún níng jié chéng bīng qì ， jiù kě yǐ dà dà zēng jiā qí wēi lì 。
这种驾驻魔虫的方法，林轩是从御灵心得中所学，驱使虫群御敌，也是有很多讲究地，一拥而上是最愚蠢的，像眼前这种”让虫群凝结成兵器，就可以大大增加其威力。
The saying went: "A gentleman seeks revenge; ten years is not too long." For now, he needed to preserve his life before seeking his revenge later.
lín xuān yòu shǒu gāo gāo jǔ qǐ ， rán hòu xiàng xià fāng huī là xià qù 。
林轩右手高高举起，然后像下方挥落下去。
With this plan in mind, he glared at Lin Xuan and then shot off to the left with a burst of energy.
sī háo xuán niàn yě wú ， zhǐ jiàn xuè máng cì mù ， nà xiē cháng máo xiàng sì zhōu sǎn shè ， biǎo miàn shàng zá luàn wú zhāng ， qí shí què shì jiāng měi yí gè táo zǒu de xiū shì quán bù náng kuò ， lín xuān bù xiǎng bǎi cǎo mén zǒng duò bào lù ， nà me zhǎn jìn shā jué shì wéi yī de xuǎn zé ， lián yí gè lòu wǎng zhī yú dōu bù néng fàng guò 。
丝毫悬念也无，只见血芒刺目，那些长矛像四周散射，表面上杂乱无章，其实却是将每一个逃走的修士全部囊括，林轩不想百草门总舵暴露，那么斩尽杀绝是唯一的选择，连一个漏网之鱼都不能放过。
Lin Xuan showed no surprise or alarm. He had anticipated such a reaction from him.
cǎn jiào shēng cǐ qǐ bǐ fú ， lí dé zuì jìn de jǐ gè xiū shì dùn shí bèi cháng máo guàn chuān le xiōng kǒu 。
惨叫声此起彼伏，离得最近的几个修士顿时被长矛贯穿了胸口。
With a flick of his hands, he vanished without a trace—no Nine Heaven Microstep, but instant teleportation. As an Core Formation cultivator, this secret technique was easy for him to use.
“ wēng ！”
“嗡！”
Several flashes later, he arrived in front of the old man and blocked his path.
suí hòu xuè huǒ yǐ sàn kāi ， jiāng qí zhěng gè bāo guǒ ， yuán yīng yě bié xiǎng táo tuō 。
随后血火蚁散开，将其整个包裹，元婴也别想逃脱。
"Suicide!"
qí yú zhī rén gèng jiā dǎn hán le ， dùn shí líng máng dà qǐ ， fēn fēn jì chū le fáng yù shǔ xìng de bǎo wù fǎ qì ， kě méi yǒu yòng tú ， qián fāng yǒu dùn pái dǎng zhù ， nà cháng máo dùn shí sàn kāi le ， jiāng dùn pái rào guò ， suí hòu chóng xīn huàn huà chū xiān jiàn huò zhě fēi dāo yàng de dōng xī ， xuè huā yàn lì ， wéi zhe duì fāng de jǐng zi yī rào ， qīng ér yì jǔ ” yǐ qǔ xià le tā men de shǒu jí 。
其余之人更加胆寒了，顿时灵芒大起，纷纷祭出了防御属性的宝物法器，可没有用途，前方有盾牌挡住，那长矛顿时散开了，将盾牌绕过，随后重新幻化出仙剑或者飞刀样的东西，血huā艳丽，围着对方的颈子一绕，轻而易举”已取下了他们的首级。
The red-haired old man roared. The other's actions seemed mocking; did they really think he was made of paper? He had never been so arrogant as a sect leader, but without the demonic insects, he should not be underestimated.
zhì yú huàn huà chéng hù zhào de ， dǎo shì yōng yǒu quán fāng wèi de fáng yù ” dàn cháng máo de gōng jī yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， hěn duō dōu bèi chuān tòu jī pò ， zhǐ yǒu jí shǎo shù ， dǎng xià le dì yī bō gōng jī ， dàn hěn kuài ， gèng duō de xuè huǒ yǐ yòu fēng yōng le shàng qù ， zuì hòu hái shì nán táo zài luò jǐng jié jú 。
至于幻化成护罩的，倒是拥有全方位的防御”但长矛的攻击也非同小可，很多都被穿透击破，只有极少数，挡下了第一波攻击，但很快，更多的血火蚁又蜂拥了上去，最后还是难逃再落井结局。
With this thought, he flicked his sleeves and hurled two golden wheel-shaped treasures at Lin Xuan with all his might.
zhěng gè guò chéng shuō qǐ lái fán fù ， qí shí bù guò zhǎ yǎn jiān zhàn dòu jiù bīn lín jié wěi le ， shù bǎi míng níng dān qī yǐ shàng de gāo jiē xiū xiān zhě ， dào mù qián wéi zhǐ de hái huó zhe ， jǐn shèng xià yí gè 。
整个过程说起来繁复，其实不过眨眼间战斗就濒临结尾了，数百名凝丹期以上的高阶修仙者，到目前为止的还活着，仅剩下一个。
A loud buzzing filled the air. The power of this treasure was undoubtedly formidable.
hóng fā lǎo zhě ！
红发老者！
A mere Core Formation cultivator—how could they possibly handle it?
zhè lǎo jiā huǒ ， bì jìng shì lí hé zhōng qī dǐng fēng de rén wù ， dāng rán bù xiǎng tú zi tú bié yī yàng de hǎo duì fù ， cǐ shí tā zhèng cāo zòng tiān dì yuán qì ， yǔ xuè huǒ yǐ zhōu xuán 。
这老家伙，毕竟是离合中期顶峰的人物，当然不想徒子徒别一样的好对付，此时他正操纵天地元气，与血火蚁周旋。
The old man's thoughts were filled with malice as he poured his energy into the treasure, ready for a decisive strike.
lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， jiù yǎn qián de xíng shì lái shuō ， xuè huǒ yǐ huò shèng shì yì diǎn xuán niàn yě wú ， kě zhè yàng yìng hào ， bì jìng suàn bù shàng wěn tuǒ ， zhì shǎo shì yǒu xiē tài guò làng fèi le 。
林轩眉头一挑，就眼前的形势来说，血火蚁获胜是一点悬念也无，可这样硬耗，毕竟算不上稳妥，至少是有些太过浪费了。
Lin Xuan smiled and ignored the terrifying attack. With a wave of his hand, a light enveloped his palm, and an egg-sized flame rose from it.
suī rán xuè huǒ yǐ zēng jiā shù liàng róng yì yǐ jí ， dàn yě méi yǒu bì yào ràng xī men bái bái xī shēng zài zhè lǐ 。
虽然血火蚁增加数量容易以极，但也没有必要让牺们白白牺牲在这里。
Though small, this volume was terrifying when compared to the size of a Core Formation cultivator.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān yī dào shén niàn fā chū 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩一道神念发出。
"Buzz..."
“ wēng 。”
“嗡。”
As if a sea breeze had blown over him, Lin Xuan leaned back and threw the flame with all his might. The Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire traced a beautiful arc and collided directly with the other's treasure.
rú zhǎng jīng xī shuǐ yì bān ， xuè huǒ yǐ quán bù dào fēi le huí lái ， bái guāng shǎn shuò ， huí dào le wàn hún tǎ zhōng ， suí hòu yuán yīng zhāng kāi xiǎo kǒu ， yī dào guāng xiá pēn bó ， jiāng cǐ bǎo biàn xiǎo yǐ hòu ， chóng xīn tūn luò rù dù 。
如长鲸吸水一般，血火蚁全部倒飞了回来，白光闪烁，回到了万魂塔中，随后元婴张开小口，一道光霞喷薄，将此宝变小以后，重新吞落入肚。
The old man's anger surged as he faced this full-force attack from the other. They didn't even bother to summon their treasures; just releasing a ball of fire? He had never seen such arrogance before.
hóng fā lǎo zhě méi tóu jǐn zhòu ， liǎn shàng shì shén sè yīn qíng bù dìng qǐ lái le ， zì jǐ de qíng kuàng zì jǐ qīng chǔ ， tā xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， xiàng gāng cái nà yàng hào xià qù zì jǐ zuì zhōng shì nán táo yī sǐ de ， duì fāng wèi shén me tū rán shōu shǒu ？
红发老者眉头紧皱，脸上是神色阴晴不定起来了，自己的情况自己清楚，他心理有数，像刚才那样耗下去自己最终是难逃一死的，对方为什么突然收手？
In his fury, he injected all his energy into the treasure, but the other's foolish behavior was suicidal.
nán dào shì yǒu yīn móu ？
难道是有阴谋？
From another angle, it was an unprecedented opportunity—how could he miss it?
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， bù guò tā yě méi yǒu xiǎng tài duō ， dí rén yuǎn bǐ yù liào de nán yǐ duì fù ， guāng shì zhè yī shǒu qū chóng zhī shù ， jiù jiāng zì jǐ yā zhì dé sǐ sǐ de 。
脑海中念头转过，不过他也没有想太多，敌人远比预料的难以对付，光是这一手驱虫之术，就将自己压制得死死的。
The golden wheel became increasingly radiant as it absorbed the old man's energy. The space seemed to distort slightly, showcasing its power.
tú zi tú bié yě quán bù mò luò ， suī xīn zhōng hèn jí ， dàn tā yě xiǎo de ， liú zài cǐ chù ， zì jǐ shì tǎo bú dào bàn diǎn hǎo de 。
徒子徒别也全部陌落，虽心中恨极，但他也晓得，留在此处，自己是讨不到半点好的。
However, in the next moment, the old man was shocked.
sú huà shuō ， jūn zǐ bào chóu ， shí nián bù wǎn ， rú jīn xiān xiǎng bàn fǎ jiāng xìng mìng bǎo zhù ， yǐ hòu zài sì jī bào fù 。
俗话说，君子报仇，十年不晚，如今先想办法将性命保住，以后再伺机报复。
A sizzling sound echoed, and a blue light burst from the flame. A layer of frost instantly formed on the treasure's surface before it was completely frozen over.
zhǔ yì dǎ dìng yǐ hòu ， tā hěn hěn dèng le lín xuān yī yǎn ， suí hòu hún shēn jīng máng yì qǐ ， xiàng zhe zuǒ cè fāng 〖 jī 〗 shè guò qù 。
主意打定以后，他狠狠瞪了林轩一眼，随后浑身惊芒一起，向着左侧方〖激〗射过去。
This wasn't the end; the flame turned gray and pounced onto the treasure. The prideful golden wheel began to visibly deteriorate.
lín xuān liǎn shàng què wú jīng wú xǐ ， duì fāng de fǎn yìng ， zǎo yǐ zài tā de yù liào lǐ 。
林轩脸上却无惊无喜，对方的反应，早已在他的预料里。
"Spit!"
shuāng shǒu yī wò ， lín xuān yǐ cóng yuán dì xiāo shī dé fēn háo zōng jì yě wú ， bìng bú shì jiǔ tiān wēi bù ， ér shì shùn yí shén tōng 。 zuò wéi yuán yīng zhī tǐ ， zhè zhǒng mì shù ， zì rán shì kě yǐ qīng ér yì jǔ de shī zhǎn chū 。
双手一握，林轩已从原地消失得分毫踪迹也无，并不是九天微步，而是瞬移神通。作为元婴之体，这种秘术，自然是可以轻而易举的施展出。
A mouthful of blood erupted as he lost his life force-bound treasure, causing him injury. However, his eyes showed disbelief—what kind of demonic fire was this? How could its power be so formidable?
jǐ gè shǎn shuò ， hòu fā xiān zhì ， yǐ jīng dǎng zài duì fāng de shēn pīn le 。
几个闪烁，后发先至，已经挡在对方的身拼了。
Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire!
“ zhǎo sǐ ！”
“找死！”
With just one move, it could sweep through the same rank. This was why Lin Xuan had no qualms about sending out a second Core Formation to face the enemy.
hóng fā lǎo zhě yī shēng dà hē ， duì fāng zhè yàng zuò ， jiǎn zhí yǒu xì xuè de chéng fèn de zài lǐ tou ， yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， zhēn jiāng zì jǐ dàng chéng zhǐ hú 。
红发老者一声大喝，对方这样做，简直有戏谑的成分的在里头，有没有搞错，真将自己当成纸糊。
Protected by such demonic flames, even a peak Core Formation cultivator would only flee in fear. A mere mid-stage cultivator held no significance for him.
ní rén shàng yǒu sān fēn huǒ xìng ， hé kuàng zuò wéi yī pài zhī zhǔ ， tā yòu zěn me kě néng bú shì xīn gāo qì ào de rén wù ， duì fāng suī rán nán yǐ duì fù ， dàn rú guǒ méi yǒu mó chóng xiāng zhù ， yīng gāi yě méi yǒu shén me liǎo bù qǐ de 。
泥人尚有三分火性，何况作为一派之主，他又怎么可能不是心高气傲的人物，对方虽然难以对付，但如果没有魔虫相助，应该也没有什么了不起的。
"Suicide!"
xīn zhōng niàn tou rú cǐ shǎn guò ， tā xiù páo yī fú ， jiāng nà liǎng gè rú tóng jīn lún bān de bǎo wù xiàng zhe lín xuān hōng rán zá luò 。
心中念头如此闪过，他袖袍一拂，将那两个如同金轮般的宝物向着林轩轰然砸落。
He pointed his finger forward as the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire changed again. It flickered and transformed into a dozen-meter-long demonic insect, its body red like sunset clouds.
dùn shí wēng míng shēng dà zuò ， cǐ bǎo de wēi néng ， xiǎn rán shì jué duì bù xiǎo de 。
顿时嗡鸣声大做，此宝的威能，显然是绝对不小的。
Its flat shape was unmistakably that of a Black Water Leech.
qū qū yī móu yuán yīng zhī tǐ ， kàn nǐ rú hé duì fù ？
区区一牟元婴之体，看你如何对付？
However, this wasn't just a simple transformation; the soul of the Black Water Leech had truly been refined within the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire.
lǎo zhě è hěn hěn de xiǎng zhe 。
老者恶狠狠的想着。
The large insect's appearance alone was terrifying. A hiss echoed as it shot out a red mist from its mouth.
lín xuān xiào le ， shì nà kě pà de gōng jī wèi wú wù yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， hū guāng yùn liú zhuǎn ， cóng zhǎng xīn zhōng shēng téng qǐ yī tuán jī dàn dà xiǎo de huǒ yàn 。
林轩笑了，视那可怕的攻击为无物右手抬起，呼光晕流转，从掌心中升腾起一团鸡蛋大小的火焰。
No, not a mist—it consisted of numerous flickering liquid-red dots that continued to shimmer.
zhè diǎn tǐ jī yuán běn bù suàn shén me ， rán ér yuán yīng shēn cái shí zài shì tài xiǎo le ， kàn shàng qù ， jiù jí wéi de kě bù 。
这点体积原本不算什么，然而元婴身材实在是太小了，看上去，就极为的可怖。
It resembled the Blood Siphoning God Mist but with greater purity. After being refined by the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire, this technique would have even stronger effects.
huá …
华…
Soon, the eerie red mist enveloped the old man. With a wave, he was completely covered.
fǎng fú yǒu hǎi fēng guā guò suí hòu lín xuān shēn tǐ hòu yǎng ， zuò le yí gè shǐ jìn tóu zhì de dòng zuò ， huàn líng tiān huǒ huá guò yī dào yōu měi de hú xiàn ， zhí jiē yǔ duì fāng de bǎo wù jī zhuàng zài yì qǐ le 。
仿佛有海风刮过随后林轩身体后仰，做了一个使劲投掷的动作，幻灵天火划过一道优美的弧线，直接与对方的宝物激撞在一起了。
The old man's expression turned pale as he flailed his hands like butterflies. A thick light barrier appeared before him.
hóng fā lǎo zhě xīn zhōng dà nù ， miàn duì zì jǐ de quán lì yī jī ， duì fāng jū rán lián bǎo wù yě bù jì qǐ ， suí biàn fàng chū yī tuán huǒ yàn suàn shén me ， jiàn guò xiāo zhāng de dàn méi yǒu jiàn guò zhè me xiāo zhāng de jiā huo 。
红发老者心中大怒，面对自己的全力一击，对方居然连宝物也不祭起，随便放出一团火焰算什么，见过嚣张的但没有见过这么嚣张的家伙。
But it was useless; the mist seemed to have permeability, easily penetrating the defensive barrier.
nù jí fǎn xiào ， tā yě bù dòng shēng sè ， zhǐ jiāng hún shēn de fǎ lì ， fēng kuáng de zhù rù jìn bǎo wù lǐ ， qì guī qì ， dàn duì fāng rú cǐ bái chī de xíng wéi ， jiǎn zhí shì zhǎo sǐ 。
怒极反笑，他也不动声色，只将浑身的法力，疯狂的注入近宝物里，气归气，但对方如此白痴的行为，简直是找死。
"What kind of spell is this?"
huàn yí gè jiǎo dù ， zhè yě shì qiān zǎi nán féng de hǎo shí jī tā zěn me kě yǐ cuò guò qù 。
换一个角度，这也是千载难逢的好时机他怎么可以错过去。
The old man was terrified as the red mist enveloped his body and skin quickly dried up.
xī shōu le zhǔ rén de fǎ lì ， nà jīn lún biàn dé yuè fā de guāng càn duó mù yǐ jí ， kōng jiān sì hū dōu yǒu diǎn wēi wēi niǔ qū ， zú kě jiàn qí wēi lì 。
吸收了主人的法力，那金轮变得越发的光灿夺目以极，空间似乎都有点微微扭曲，足可见其威力。
"Bang!"
rán ér xià yī kè ， què ràng lǎo zhě mù dèng kǒu dāi le 。
然而下一刻，却让老者目瞪口呆了。
A muffled sound echoed as he chose to self-destruct. Unfortunately, the Blood Mist absorbed not only life force but also some of his essence.
cī lā yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī tuán lán méng méng de guāng yùn cóng huǒ yàn shàng bào qǐ ， qǐng kè jiān nà shēng shì hào dà de bǎo wù biǎo miàn ， jiù chū xiàn le yī céng hán wù ， suí hòu bèi bīng fēng diào le 。
刺啦一声传入耳朵，一团蓝蒙蒙的光晕从火焰上暴起，顷刻间那声势浩大的宝物表面，就出现了一层寒雾，随后被冰封掉了。
With little essence left in his meridians, the effect was minimal. When the light dissipated, only a Core Formation cultivator remained suspended in mid-air!
His movements were swift, but the reactions of the two Fáng Yīn cultivators behind him were noticeably slower. Although they managed to retreat, they were ensnared by the insect cloud.
"Ahh!" The piercing screams filled his ears. At such close range, there was no time for them to summon their treasures; their protective aura was easily broken through. Every inch of their bodies was covered in demonic insects from head to toe.
The sensation was indescribable, but it was certainly a living hell. The torment was akin to having one's soul and essence torn apart.
In just a few breaths, the screams became fainter until they were barely audible. Then, with a loud explosion, the two Core Formation cultivators chose to self-destruct simultaneously.
The power of their self-destruction was formidable, and countless Bloodfire Ants turned into dust. However, this number was insignificant compared to the vast scale of their enemies. The remaining demonic insects showed no fear or regard for death; they continued to swarm the cultivators like a horde of bees.
Everyone had already been terrified, and none anticipated such an outcome. Originally, these cultivators were seasoned veterans, but in the face of such terrifying demonic insects, they lacked the will to fight on.
A thought flashed through his mind as he sent out a mental command.
"Buzz."
The Bloodfire Ants flew back like a whale sucking water, their white light flickering before retreating into the Ten Thousand Souls Tower. The Core Formation then opened its mouth and emitted a burst of light, shrinking the treasure before swallowing it whole.
The red-haired old man's brows furrowed as his expression fluctuated with uncertainty. He understood his situation well; he knew that if this continued, he would eventually meet his end. Why had the other suddenly stopped?
Was there a trap?
His thoughts raced, but he didn't dwell on it too much. The enemy was far more formidable than expected, and this insect control technique alone had him pinned down.
With all his disciples defeated, he felt intense hatred, but he knew that staying here would only bring him harm.
The saying went: "A gentleman seeks revenge; ten years is not too long." For now, he needed to preserve his life before seeking his revenge later.
With this plan in mind, he glared at Lin Xuan and then shot off to the left with a burst of energy.
Lin Xuan showed no surprise or alarm. He had anticipated such a reaction from him.
With a flick of his hands, he vanished without a trace—no Nine Heaven Microstep, but instant teleportation. As an Core Formation cultivator, this secret technique was easy for him to use.
Several flashes later, he arrived in front of the old man and blocked his path.
"Suicide!"
The red-haired old man roared. The other's actions seemed mocking; did they really think he was made of paper? He had never been so arrogant as a sect leader, but without the demonic insects, he should not be underestimated.
With this thought, he flicked his sleeves and hurled two golden wheel-shaped treasures at Lin Xuan with all his might.
A loud buzzing filled the air. The power of this treasure was undoubtedly formidable.
A mere Core Formation cultivator—how could they possibly handle it?
The old man's thoughts were filled with malice as he poured his energy into the treasure, ready for a decisive strike.
Lin Xuan smiled and ignored the terrifying attack. With a wave of his hand, a light enveloped his palm, and an egg-sized flame rose from it.
Though small, this volume was terrifying when compared to the size of a Core Formation cultivator.
"Buzz..."
As if a sea breeze had blown over him, Lin Xuan leaned back and threw the flame with all his might. The Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire traced a beautiful arc and collided directly with the other's treasure.
The old man's anger surged as he faced this full-force attack from the other. They didn't even bother to summon their treasures; just releasing a ball of fire? He had never seen such arrogance before.
In his fury, he injected all his energy into the treasure, but the other's foolish behavior was suicidal.
From another angle, it was an unprecedented opportunity—how could he miss it?
The golden wheel became increasingly radiant as it absorbed the old man's energy. The space seemed to distort slightly, showcasing its power.
However, in the next moment, the old man was shocked.
A sizzling sound echoed, and a blue light burst from the flame. A layer of frost instantly formed on the treasure's surface before it was completely frozen over.
This wasn't the end; the flame turned gray and pounced onto the treasure. The prideful golden wheel began to visibly deteriorate.
"Spit!"
A mouthful of blood erupted as he lost his life force-bound treasure, causing him injury. However, his eyes showed disbelief—what kind of demonic fire was this? How could its power be so formidable?
Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire!
With just one move, it could sweep through the same rank. This was why Lin Xuan had no qualms about sending out a second Core Formation to face the enemy.
Protected by such demonic flames, even a peak Core Formation cultivator would only flee in fear. A mere mid-stage cultivator held no significance for him.
"Suicide!"
He pointed his finger forward as the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire changed again. It flickered and transformed into a dozen-meter-long demonic insect, its body red like sunset clouds.
Its flat shape was unmistakably that of a Black Water Leech.
However, this wasn't just a simple transformation; the soul of the Black Water Leech had truly been refined within the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire.
The large insect's appearance alone was terrifying. A hiss echoed as it shot out a red mist from its mouth.
No, not a mist—it consisted of numerous flickering liquid-red dots that continued to shimmer.
It resembled the Blood Siphoning God Mist but with greater purity. After being refined by the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire, this technique would have even stronger effects.
Soon, the eerie red mist enveloped the old man. With a wave, he was completely covered.
The old man's expression turned pale as he flailed his hands like butterflies. A thick light barrier appeared before him.
But it was useless; the mist seemed to have permeability, easily penetrating the defensive barrier.
"What kind of spell is this?"
The old man was terrified as the red mist enveloped his body and skin quickly dried up.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound echoed as he chose to self-destruct. Unfortunately, the Blood Mist absorbed not only life force but also some of his essence.
With little essence left in his meridians, the effect was minimal. When the light dissipated, only a Core Formation cultivator remained suspended in mid-air!
