第一千八百三十章冰雪牢笼
Chapter 1830 - Ice and Snow Cage
nà xiē yuán yīng qī xiū shì ， suī rán jiè zhù zhèn fǎ zhī lì ， yòu shàn cháng pèi hé ， dàn lín xuān hái zhēn méi yǒu jiāng tā men fàng zài yǎn zhōng 。
那些元婴期修士，虽然借助阵法之利，又擅长配合，但林轩还真没有将他们放在眼中。
Lin Xuan truly did not place these Core Formation cultivators in his sight, even with their array techniques and coordinated attacks. As for the three Separation Realm cultivators, they were merely mid-stage cultivators.
zhì yú sān míng lí hé ， yě bù guò jiē shì zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
至于三名离合，也不过皆是中期的修仙者。
With Lin Xuan's strength, challenging someone from a lower realm was like a daily routine. With so many of them, what could it matter? It was nothing more than a fleeting illusion.
lín xuān shí lì zhī qiáng ， jiù suàn yuè jí tiǎo zhàn ， duì tā dōu xiàng jiā cháng biàn fàn ， duì fāng de jìng jiè bǐ tā hái dī ， rén duō yòu yǒu shén me yòng tú ， bù guò shì fú yún bà le 。
林轩实力之强，就算越级挑战，对他都像家常便饭，对方的境界比他还低，人多又有什么用途，不过是浮云罢了。
His figure flashed, and Lin Xuan vanished without a trace.
shēn xíng yī shǎn ， lín xuān yǐ cóng yuán dì xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
身形一闪，林轩已从原地消失得无影无踪。
The attacks that rained down on him were merely hitting air for the time being.
guǎn tā pū tiān gài dì de gōng jī ， yī shí jiān dōu zhǐ néng dǎ xiàng kōng qì 。
管他铺天盖地的攻击，一时间都只能打像空气。
"Wha—"
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
The three cultivators were shocked to no end. They did not expect their opponent's evasive techniques to be so miraculous, truly breathtaking. However, this was nothing but a nightmare for them.
sān rén dà jīng shī sè ， méi xiǎng dào duì fāng de dùn shù ， jū rán shén miào dào rú cǐ chéng dù ， jiǎn zhí lìng rén tàn wéi guān zhǐ ， rán ér duì tā men lái shuō ， què shì è mèng 。
三人大惊失色，没想到对方的遁术，居然神妙到如此程度，简直令人叹为观止，然而对他们来说，却是噩梦。
Their hearts screamed in alarm as they each released their defensive treasures.
xīn zhōng àn jiào bù hǎo ， sān rén gè zì fàng chū fáng yù de fǎ bǎo 。
心中暗叫不好，三人各自放出防御的法宝。
A dark-robed cultivator extended his hand, and a jade bowl appeared before him. It spun rapidly, its size increasing dramatically, and a layer of light shielded the owner from harm. Combined with the jade bowl itself, it created two layers of protection within an instant.
zhǐ jiàn nà wū yī xiū shì shēn shǒu yī pāi ， yī qīng cuì bì lǜ de yù wǎn jiù chū xiàn zài miàn qián ， dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， tǐ xíng xùn biàn dà qǐ lái ， bìng qiě cóng biǎo miàn fēn lí chū yī céng guāng mù ， jiāng zhǔ rén hù zhù ， zài jiā shàng yù wǎn běn tǐ ， kě yǐ shuō shì zài zhuǎn shùn zhī jiān ， jiē lián bù xià le liǎng céng fáng hù 。
只见那乌衣修士伸手一拍，一青翠碧绿的yù碗就出现在面前，滴溜溜一转，体型迅变大起来，并且从表面分离出一层光幕，将主人护住，再加上yù碗本体，可以说是在转瞬之间，接连布下了两层防护。
His reaction was swift, but Lin Xuan also emerged almost simultaneously, just over ten feet apart. A sneer appeared on Lin Xuan's lips as he exuded a demonic aura.
tā de fǎn yìng ， bù kě wèi bù xùn ， rán ér lín xuān yě jī hū zài tóng yī shí jiān fú xiàn ér chū ， liǎng rén xiāng jù ， bù guò zhàng xǔ ， suí hòu biàn jiàn lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān ，1ù chū yī sī jī cháo de xiào yì 。
他的反应，不可为不迅，然而林轩也几乎在同一时间浮现而出，两人相距，不过丈许，随后便见林轩嘴角边，1ù出一丝讥嘲的笑意。
A phoenix shadow materialized behind him and plunged into his head. The more formidable his presence became, the louder the cracking sounds in his ears grew. His right hand transformed into a sharp, jagged claw.
hún shēn guāng yùn yì qǐ ， cóng tā de shēn shàng ， pēn bó chū chōng tiān de yāo qì 。
浑身光晕一起，从他的身上，喷薄出冲天的妖气。
The nails alone were several feet long, and the frosty glow on their surface was blinding. The dark-robed cultivator was terrified; it was too late to retreat now that Lin Xuan had closed the distance.
yī fèng huáng de xū yǐng ， zài lín xuān bèi hòu fú xiàn ér chū ， suí hòu cóng tā de tóu dǐng mò rù ， lín xuān de qì shì yuè kě bù ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de ， hái yǒu gē bēng gē bēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yòu shǒu yāo huà ， biàn chéng le jiān ruì fēng lì de yāo zhǎo 。
一凤凰的虚影，在林轩背后浮现而出，随后从他的头顶没入，林轩的气势越可怖，与之伴随的，还有咯嘣咯嘣的声音传入耳朵，右手妖化，变成了尖锐锋利的妖爪。
With a sudden burst of strength, his claws grew larger and lashed out at the head of the dark-robed cultivator.
guāng shì zhǐ jiǎ ， jiù yǒu chǐ xǔ ， biǎo miàn de hán máng ， gèng shì yào yǎn yǐ jí ， wū yī xiū shì dà jīng shī sè ， zhè shí hòu xiǎng tuì dōu lái bù jí le 。
光是指甲，就有尺许，表面的寒芒，更是耀眼以极，乌衣修士大惊失色，这时候想退都来不及了。
The aura surrounding him could not be described in words. What seemed solid moments ago turned into paper-thin defenses.
lín xuān yǐ jīng qī dào jìn chù ， yāo huà hòu de lì zhuǎ měng rán bào zhǎng ， cháo zhe tā de tóu lú ， hěn hěn zhuā luò 。
林轩已经欺到近处，妖化后的利爪猛然暴涨，朝着他的头颅，狠狠抓落。
A tearing sound filled the air as the light shield was torn apart. The jade bowl itself met a similar fate, pierced by Lin Xuan's nails and shattered.
nà qì shì ， wú fǎ yòng yán yǔ xíng róng ， yuán běn kàn qǐ lái hěn níng hòu de guāng mù ， cǐ shí què rú tóng zhǐ hú 。
那气势，无法用言语形容，原本看起来很凝厚的光幕，此时却如同纸糊。
The brilliance of his treasure dimmed rapidly.
cī lā shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǐ bèi sī chě dé qī líng bā luò ，yù wǎn běn tǐ tóng yàng méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， zhí jiē bèi lín xuān de zhǐ jiǎ cì chuān diào le 。
刺啦声传入耳朵，已被撕扯得七零八落，yù碗本体同样没有效果，直接被林轩的指甲刺穿掉了。
Without protection, the cultivator's fate was clear; though he managed to dodge the head, his shoulder was struck by Lin Xuan's claw.
bǎo wù de guāng máng ， xùn àn dàn xià qù 。
宝物的光芒，迅黯淡下去。
Blood splattered!
shī qù le fáng hù ， nà xiū shì de xià chǎng ， kě xiǎng ér zhī ， suī rán miǎn qiǎng piān guò tóu lú ， dàn jiān bǎng què bèi lín xuān de lì zhuǎ cì zhōng 。
失去了防护，那修士的下场，可想而知，虽然勉强偏过头颅，但肩膀却被林轩的利爪刺中。
Although he did not fall, severe injuries were inevitable. However, the attack continued as Lin Xuan opened his mouth and expelled a sword of light that pierced through with pinpoint accuracy, ensuring both his physical body and his Core dropped dead instantly.
xuè bèng jiàn ！
血迸溅！
"Senior Brother!"
suī rán méi yǒu yǔn luò ， dàn zhòng shāng què shì miǎn bù liǎo de 。
虽然没有陨落，但重伤却是免不了的。
The other two Separation Realm cultivators were equally shocked, their cries filled with sorrow. This was not because they had deep bonds with the dark-robed cultivator; in fact, they often competed for favor from their master, harboring many grudges and secrets.
rán ér gōng jī bìng wèi jié shù ， lín xuān zhāng kāi kǒu ， yī dào jiàn guāng pēn tǔ ér chū ， zhí jiē chuān ér guò ， zhè yī jī ， fēn cùn ná niē dé liáng hǎo yǐ jí ， bù jǐn ràng tā de rou shēn yǔn luò ， lián yuán yīng yě méi yǒu táo tuō ， zhí jiē bèi cì le gè tòu xīn liáng le 。
然而攻击并未结束，林轩张开口，一道剑光喷吐而出，直接穿而过，这一击，分寸拿捏得良好以极，不仅让他的rou身陨落，连元婴也没有逃脱，直接被刺了个透心凉了。
Seeing him fall, they marveled at Lin Xuan's strength, feeling a sense of vicarious grief.
“ shī xiōng ！”
“师兄！”
Now, who could remember the strict orders from their master? This was probably the most important thing.
lìng liǎng míng lí hé qī xiū shì dà jīng shī sè ， tóng shí jīng hū ， shēng yīn chōng mǎn le bēi qiè zhī sè ， zhè dào bú shì tā men yǔ wū yī xiū shì j qíng yǒu duō me shēn hòu ， qià qià xiāng fǎn ， píng rì lǐ yīn wèi zài shī zūn miàn qián zhēng chǒng ， qí shí hái yǒu bù shǎo ēn yuàn yǔ wò chuò 。
另两名离合期修士大惊失色，同时惊呼，声音充满了悲切之色，这倒不是他们与乌衣修士j情有多么深厚，恰恰相反，平日里因为在师尊面前争宠，其实还有不少恩怨与龌龊。
The two cultivators fled in opposite directions. The Core Formation cultivators were equally alarmed; without any prompting, they scattered in all directions.
rán ér cǐ shí jiàn tā yǔn luò ， jīng tàn yú lín xuān shí lì zhī qiáng ， yě bù yóu de cóng xīn dǐ ， shēng qǐ yī sī tù sǐ hú bēi de qī liáng 。
然而此时见他陨落，惊叹于林轩实力之强，也不由得从心底，升起一丝兔死狐悲的凄凉。
"Move! Do you think there's still an opportunity now?"
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， nà hái jì de shī zūn de yán lìng shì shén me ， huò zhě cái shì zuì zhòng yào de 。
此时此刻，那还记得师尊的严令是什么，或者才是最重要的。
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed as he anticipated this scenario. With a wave of his sleeves, the surrounding primordial energy began to tremble and surge wildly. An unbelievable scene unfolded.
liǎng rén bù yuē ér tóng de táo zǒu ， fāng xiàng dǎo shì nán yuán běi zhé 。
两人不约而同的逃走，方向倒是南辕北辙。
Being deep in the sea, water primordial energy was abundant. The water merged with it, creating towering waves on the surface.
nà xiē yuán yīng xiū shì tóng yàng dà jīng shī sè ， bù yòng zhāo hū ， jiù yī hòng ér sàn le 。
那些元婴修士同样大惊失色，不用招呼，就一哄而散了。
The sky turned dark, and these waves towered over a thousand feet high. They appeared from all directions simultaneously.
“ zǒu ， nǐ men yǐ wéi zhè shí hòu hái yǒu jī huì ？”
“走，你们以为这时候还有机会？”
"Combine!"
lín xuān mù guāng shǎn shuò ， zhè zhǒng qíng xíng tā zǎo jiù liào dào jǐ fēn le ， xiù páo yī fú ， sì zhōu de tiān dì yuán qì kāi shǐ jì dòng ， fēng kuáng de fān yǒng ， suí hòu bù kě sī yì de yí mù chū xiàn le 。
林轩目光闪烁，这种情形他早就料到几分了，袖袍一拂，四周的天地元气开始悸动，疯狂的翻涌，随后不可思议的一幕出现了。
Lin Xuan cast a spell, and the waves fused into one giant sphere that encompassed a thousand-mile radius. Simultaneously, he summoned the Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire, its colors shifting before settling on a deep blue. The chilling aura spread throughout the area.
yīn wèi zhè lǐ shì dà hǎi shēn chù ， bú yòng shuō ， shuǐ yuán qì zuì wèi fēng fù ， yǔ hǎi shuǐ xiāng hún hé ， hǎi miàn shàng xiān qǐ le tāo tiān de jù 1。
因为这里是大海深处，不用说，水元气最为丰富，与海水相hún合，海面上掀起了滔天的巨1。
This was far from over as the strange flames transformed into a sapphire phoenix, teleporting to the water sphere with incredible speed.
tiān sè yīn chén wú bǐ ， nà jù 1 gāo ， jū rán guò le qiān zhàng 。
天色阴沉无比，那巨1高，居然过了千丈。
Pfft!
ér qiě shì cóng sì miàn bā fāng ， yì qǐ chū xiàn zhè yàng de jù 1。
而且是从四面八方，一起出现这样的巨1。
The deep blue ice armor rapidly spread. In an instant, the water sphere froze solid, forming a massive icy cage.
“ hé ！”
“合！”
The two Separation Realm cultivators' escape lights stopped abruptly. They sensed that this was extremely dangerous and decided to let others test it first.
lín xuān yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， nà xiē jù 1 jū rán lián wèi yī tǐ ， xíng chéng le yī jù dà wú bǐ de shuǐ qiú ， jiāng fāng yuán qiān lǐ de fàn wéi ， quán dōu náng kuò 。
林轩一道法诀打出，那些巨1居然连为一体，形成了一巨大无比的水球，将方圆千里的范围，全都囊括。
It is true that old age makes one wise; the longer a cultivator lives, the more cunning they become.
ér lín xuān shì shí ， jì chū le huàn líng tiān huǒ ， sì sè liú zhuǎn ， zuì hòu quán bù biàn chéng le wèi lán ， lìng rén xīn jì de hán qì ， xiàng zhe sì zhōu mí màn 。
而林轩适时，祭出了幻灵天火，四色流转，最后全部变成了蔚蓝，令人心悸的寒气，向着四周弥漫。
Several Core Formation cultivators noticed something amiss and halted their escape lights with suspicion.
zhè hái yǒu wán ， guǐ yì de huǒ yàn ， huà wèi yī zhàn lán de fèng huáng ， yòng lèi sì yú shùn yí de dù ， pū dào le shuǐ qiú shàng miàn 。
这还有完，诡异的火焰，化为一湛蓝的凤凰，用类似于瞬移的度，扑到了水球上面。
However, not all were as cunning or meticulous. Most Core Formation cultivators continued their escape without pause, despite seeing the water sphere freezing over. A few inches of ice could easily be shattered!
pū chī ……
噗嗤……
Many cultivators merged their bodies with swords or had their treasures orbiting them, rushing towards the ice ball.
zhàn lán sè de bīng jiǎ ， xùn màn yán ， bù guò zhǎ yǎn de gōng fu ， shuǐ qiú jiù bèi dòng zhù ， huà wèi le yí gè jù dà de hán bīng láo lóng 。
湛蓝色的冰甲，迅蔓延，不过眨眼的功夫，水球就被冻住，化为了一个巨大的寒冰牢笼。
They wanted to break through the ice but found their enemy too formidable. Staying here meant certain death; only by fleeing might they have a chance.
liǎng míng lí hé qī xiū shì de dùn guāng gā rán ér zhǐ ， tā men yǐn yǐn kàn chū zhè dōng xī ， sì hū wēi xiǎn dào jí chù ， xiān huǎn yī huǎn ， ràng bié rén qù tóu shí wèn lù 。
两名离合期修士的遁光嘎然而止，他们隐隐看出这东西，似乎危险到极处，先缓一缓，让别人去投石问路。
Prosperity comes from danger; in such perilous conditions, seeking survival required extraordinary courage.
bù dé bù shuō ， rén lǎo chéng jīng ， zhè jù huà shì yǒu dào lǐ de ， xiū xiān zhě huó dé yuè jiǔ ， jiù yuè jiǎo huá 。
不得不说，人老成精，这句话是有道理的，修仙者活得越久，就越狡猾。
Their choice was not wrong, yet what followed left everyone shivering with cold.
nà xiē yuán yīng xiū shì zhōng ， yě yǒu jǐ gè ， kàn chū le bù tuǒ ， fēn fēn mǎn mù jīng yí de jiāng dùn guāng tíng xià le 。
那些元婴修士中，也有几个，看出了不妥，纷纷满目惊疑的将遁光停下了。
Seventeen Core Formation cultivators simultaneously collided with the ice ball. Upon contact, their protective light or core treasures seemed to unleash demons.
rán ér bú shì suǒ yǒu rén dōu rú cǐ jiǎo huá ， huò zhě shuō xīn xì rú ， dà bù fèn yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， dùn guāng sī háo méi yǒu tíng xiē de yì tú ， suī rán tā men kàn chū shuǐ qiú zài jié bīng le ， dàn nà yòu rú hé ， jǐ chǐ hòu de bīng céng qīng qīng sōng sōng jiù néng jiāng qí dǎ pò ！
然而不是所有人都如此狡猾，或者说心细如，大部分元婴期修仙者，遁光丝毫没有停歇的意图，虽然他们看出水球在结冰了，但那又如何，几尺厚的冰层轻轻松松就能将其打破！
Boom!
bù shǎo xiū shì rén jiàn hé yī ， huò zhě ràng bǎo wù zài shēn tǐ zhōu wéi pán xuán fēi wǔ ， xiàng zhe nà bīng qiú chōng guò qù le 。
不少修士人剑合一，或者让宝物在身体周围盘旋飞舞，向着那冰球冲过去了。
The ice wall ignited, and the four colors of flames continuously shifted—coldness, toxicity, corrosion, and devouring.
tā men xiǎng yào pò bīng ér chū ， dí rén tài kě pà le 。
他们想要破冰而出，敌人太可怕了。
These four-colored flames enveloped their bodies, causing horrific screams. The Core Formation cultivators, engulfed in flames, crashed about like headless flies, acting madly but to no avail. No matter what secret techniques they employed, the flames could not be extinguished. They rolled on the ground, wailing until their souls returned to the underworld.
liú zài cǐ chù ， yǔn luò shì wéi yī de jié jú ， wéi yǒu táo zǒu ， cái yǒu yī xiàn shēng jī kě néng chū xiàn de 。
留在此处，陨落是唯一的结局，唯有逃走，才有一线生机可能出现的。
Interestingly, their storage bags remained intact. Lin Xuan's control over the Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire was precise and meticulous.
fù guì xiǎn zhōng qiú ， tóng yàng de dào lǐ ， zài zhè yàng xiǎn è de huán jìng zhōng ， xiǎng yào qiú dé yī tiáo huó lù ， tóng yàng xū yào fēi fán dǎn shí zài lǐ tou 。
富贵险中求，同样的道理，在这样险恶的环境中，想要求得一条活路，同样需要非凡胆识在里头。
Seven or eight cultivators were still alive; at this moment, they looked pale. As魔宗cultivators, they naturally spared no one, but now it felt like they were fish for someone else to cut up on a chopping board. The feeling was indescribable.
tā men de xuǎn zé bù néng shuō yǒu cuò ， rán ér xià lái shēng de yí mù ， què ràng suǒ yǒu rén gǎn jué hán lěng chè gǔ 。
他们的选择不能说有错，然而下来生的一幕，却让所有人感觉寒冷彻骨。
Fighting was impossible, and fleeing was futile as they were trapped in the giant ice ball with no hope of escape.
gòng yǒu shí qī míng yuán yīng xiū shì zài tóng yī shí jiān ， zhuàng shàng le bīng qiú ， jié guǒ bù lùn shì hù tǐ líng máng hái shì běn mìng bǎo wù ， yī yǔ bīng bì xiāng chù ， què fǎng fú fàng chū le è mó 。
共有十七名元婴修士在同一时间，撞上了冰球，结果不论是护体灵芒还是本命宝物，一与冰壁相触，却仿佛放出了恶魔。
"Senior, spare my life! If you forgive me, I will serve you faithfully until the end of my days."
hōng ！
轰！
In desperation, one Core Formation cultivator finally broke down, kneeling before Lin Xuan and showing submission.
bīng bì yī xià xióng xióng rán shāo qǐ lái le ， ér qiě sì zhǒng yán sè ， bù tíng de liú zhuǎn ， hán lěng 、 jù dú 、 fǔ shí 、 tūn shì ……
冰壁一下熊熊燃烧起来了，而且四种颜色，不停的流转，寒冷、剧毒、腐蚀、吞噬……
Postscript: The following words are important; please read them carefully.

四色火焰，一下子将他们的身体包裹，惨叫声此起彼伏，声音凄惨到极处，那些元婴修士带着火焰，如没头苍蝇一般的1撞了起来，状如疯魔，然而没有用处，不管他们施展出怎样的秘术，都无法将火焰扑灭掉的，打滚哀嚎，最后的结局依旧是魂归地府。

Chapter 1830 - Ice and Snow Cage
Lin Xuan truly did not place these Core Formation cultivators in his sight, even with their array techniques and coordinated attacks. As for the three Separation Realm cultivators, they were merely mid-stage cultivators.
