第一千八百六十七章蓝色水晶

Chapter 1867: Blue Crystal

shà shí jiān ， rú wàn mǎ bēn téng ， yòu yǒu rú chǎo dòu zi yì bān de mì jí bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shù bǎi gè quán tou cǐ qǐ bǐ fú ， xiāng hù zhī jiān què méi yǒu rèn hé chè zhǒu ， xiǎn de jǐng rán yǒu xù ， cóng sì miàn bā fāng cháo zhe nà jù shí guài kuáng yǒng ér qù 。

霎时间，如万马奔腾，又有如炒豆子一般的密集爆裂声传入耳朵，数百个拳头此起彼伏，相互之间却没有任何掣肘，显得井然有序，从四面八方朝着那巨石怪狂涌而去。

In an instant, the scene resembled a stampede of thousands of horses, with dense explosions sounding like popping beans. Hundreds of fists rose and fell in unison, each striking the giant stone monster without hindering one another, showing remarkable coordination as they surged towards it from all directions.

sú huà shuō ， hǎo hàn jià bú zhù rén duō ， měng hǔ miàn duì xiōng měng de láng qún yě zhǐ yǒu tuì bì sān shè 。

俗话说，好汉架不住人多，猛虎面对凶猛的狼群也只有退避三舍。

As the saying goes, even a hero can't withstand too many people; a fierce tiger would retreat when faced with a pack of hungry wolves. Although Lin Xuan had not entered the Yin Stage, his control over dual infant souls still helped him greatly. The earth essence energy forming these fists was exceptionally adept at cooperating, rendering the giant stone monster powerless to retaliate.

lín xuān suī rán méi yǒu jìn rù d xuán qī ， dàn shuāng yīng yī dān duì tiān dì yuán qì de kòng tóng yàng yě shì yǒu bāng zhù dì ， zhè xiē tǔ yuán qì níng chéng de quán tou ， shí fēn shàn cháng pèi hé ， jiāng nà jù shí guài dǎ dé yì diǎn huán shǒu zhī lì dōu méi yǒu le 。

林轩虽然没有进入d玄期，但双婴一丹对天地元气的控同样也是有帮助地，这些土元气凝成的拳头，十分擅长配合，将那巨石怪打得一点还手之力都没有了。

Lin Xuan's eyes were sharp; despite this being his first encounter with such a creature, he could clearly see its strengths and weaknesses. The opponent had immense strength and robust defenses but lacked proficiency in other elemental techniques. Although it matched the power of an advanced Separation Stage cultivator, its inherent limitations made it vulnerable. Lin Xuan's strategy was both time- and energy-efficient due to his superior strength.

lín xuān de yǎn guāng hěn dú ， suī rán shì dì yī cì yǔ zhè zhǒng guài wù j shǒu ， dàn jiāng tā de yōu shì yǔ ruò diǎn dōu kàn dé hěn qīng chǔ 。

林轩的眼光很毒，虽然是第一次与这种怪物j手，但将牠的优势与弱点都看得很清楚。

After a short while, hundreds of fists descended upon the giant stone monster. Despite its efforts to escape, all were in vain. Finally, a mournful sound reached his ears as something seemed to shatter.

duì fāng lì dà wú qióng ， fáng yù jiān gù ， dàn bìng bù shàn cháng qí tā de wǔ xíng fǎ shù ， shí lì suī rán xiāng dāng yú lí hé qī dà chéng de xiū xiān zhě ， dàn yóu yú běn shēn de yuán gù ， shì wú fǎ bsp; biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， zhè yě méi shén me ， yào zhī dào yīn sī jiè guǐ wù shù liàng zhòng duō ， lèi xíng yě shì jí wéi fán fù ， zhè zhàn dòu de fāng shì ， zì rán dà bù xiāng tóng ， qí tā xiū xiān zhě yǔ zhī duì dí ， huò xǔ bú huì zhù yì ， rán ér lín xuān dòu fǎ jīng yàn jí wéi fēng fù ， què kàn chū tā de ruò diǎn lái le ， zhè yǔ dǎ shé dǎ qī cùn de dào lǐ shì yī yàng de 。

对方力大无穷，防御坚固，但并不擅长其他的五行法术，实力虽然相当于离合期大成的修仙者，但由于本身的缘故，是无法bsp;表面上看，这也没什么，要知道阴司界鬼物数量众多，类型也是极为繁复，这战斗的方式，自然大不相同，其他修仙者与之对敌，或许不会注意，然而林轩斗法经验极为丰富，却看出他的弱点来了，这与打蛇打七寸的道理是一样的。

Silver light flashed across Lin Xuan's eyes; he could see that the monster’s body was now covered by countless spider-web-like cracks that continued to spread outward.

fáng yù zài jiān gù ， dàn zǒng yǒu yí gè jí xiàn ， ér zòng tiān dì yuán qì gōng jī ， duì fǎ lì de sǔn hào ， què kě yǐ hū lüè bù jì 。

防御再坚固，但总有一个极限，而纵天地元气攻击，对法力的损耗，却可以忽略不计。

Satisfied, Lin Xuan clenched his hands and cast another spell.

lín xuān xuǎn zé de fāng fǎ ， bù jǐn shěng shí ， ér qiě shěng lì ， dāng rán ， zhè yě shì yīn wèi tā de shí lì ， yuǎn fēi duì fāng kě bǐ 。

林轩选择的方法，不仅省时，而且省力，当然，这也是因为他的实力，远非对方可比。

Pfft...

suí hòu yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， zhǐ jiàn nà shù bǎi gè quán tou zhí shàng zhí xià de cháo jù shí guài hōng luò ， duì fāng shī zhǎn hún shēn xiè shù ， xiǎng yào cóng kùn jìng zhōng bǎi tuō ， rán ér tā suǒ yǒu de nǔ lì ， quán dōu shì tú láo de 。

随后一盏茶的功夫，只见那数百个拳头直上直下的朝巨石怪轰落，对方施展浑身解数，想要从困境中摆脱，然而他所有的努力，全都是徒劳的。

The sound of a bursting bubble filled his ears as those hundreds of fists dissolved into nothingness, reverting back to earth essence energy.

zuì hòu ， āi míng shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ ， shén me dōng xī fǎng fú suì liè diào le 。

最后，哀鸣声传入耳里，什么东西仿佛碎裂掉了。

The giant stone monster's head bore the face of a ghost with green skin and sharp teeth, vividly lifelike. But now, any arrogance was gone, replaced by fear.

lín xuān yǎn zhōng yín máng shǎn guò ， kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， nà jù shí guài de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn ， yǐ bèi wú shù zhī zhū wǎng yī yàng de liè wén bāo guǒ 。

林轩眼中银芒闪过，看得清清楚楚，那巨石怪的身体表面，已被无数蜘蛛网一样的裂纹包裹。

Clearly, staying here meant certain death. Even though he didn't know why the attack had stopped, in such circumstances, not fleeing would be sheer madness.

ér qiě nà liè wén hái bù duàn xiàng zhe sì zhōu kuò sàn zhe 。

而且那裂纹还不断向着四周扩散着。

Amidst black light, it tried to escape on a gust of dark wind. However, Lin Xuan, prepared for this moment, raised his right hand and pointed forward with one finger.

lín xuān liǎn shàng 1ù chū mǎn yì de xiào róng ， liǎng shǒu yī wò ， yòu shì yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū 。

林轩脸上1ù出满意的笑容，两手一握，又是一道法诀打出。

Woo...

pū ……

噗……

The mountain breeze blew past, but there seemed to be an undercurrent of melancholy.

rú tóng qì pào pò miè de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà shù bǎi gè quán tou huà wèi xū wú ， chóng xīn huán yuán chéng tǔ yuán qì le 。

如同气泡破灭的声音传入耳朵，那数百个拳头化为虚无，重新还原成土元气了。

Next, the air seemed to solidify into a barrier that slowed its movements.

jù shí guài de tóu lú shàng ， yìn yǒu yī qīng miàn liáo yá de guǐ liǎn ， huó líng huó xiàn ， bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yǐ shì fēn háo xiāo zhāng yě wú ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì jù pà zhī sè 。

巨石怪的头颅上，印有一青面獠牙的鬼脸，活灵活现，不过此时此刻，已是分毫嚣张也无，取而代之的是惧怕之色。

It was clear that Lin Xuan's control over wood essence energy wasn't ideal. In the next moment, he broke free from this constraint, though it had bought him some time.

liú zài zhè lǐ míng xiǎn shì zì xún sǐ lù ， suī rán tā bù xiǎo de ， duì fāng wèi hé huì jiāng gōng jī tíng zhù ， dàn zhè zhǒng shí hòu ， bù táo ， nà jiǎn zhí shì méi yǒu tiān lǐ le 。

留在这里明显是自寻死路，虽然他不晓得，对方为何会将攻击停住，但这种时候，不逃，那简直是没有天理了。

A small margin could make all the difference in high-level combat; every second counted.

hún shēn hēi máng dà qǐ ， tā xiǎng yào jià zhe yī zhèn yīn fēng lí qù ， rán ér nǎ yǒu nà me róng yì ， zǎo yǒu zhǔn bèi de lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù 。

浑身黑芒大起，牠想要驾着一阵阴风离去，然而哪有那么容易，早有准备的林轩右手抬起，一指向前点去。

Earth essence energy reformed, and a hundred-foot-long arm appeared again in his vision, fists clenched tightly as they delivered a powerful punch to the monster's head.

wū ……

呜……

Due to the previous delay, the giant stone creature had no place to hide. With a fierce expression on its ghostly face, it retaliated with another punch.

shān fēng chuī guò ， rán ér bù zhī wèi hé ， lǐ miàn sì hū què dài le yī sī cāng liáng zhī sè 。

山风吹过，然而不知为何，里面似乎却带了一丝苍凉之色。

Bang!

jǐn jiē zhe ， nà kōng qì fǎng fú níng gù ， biàn chéng le chí zhì tā xíng dòng de jiā suǒ 。

紧接着，那空气仿佛凝固，变成了迟滞他行动的枷锁。

The scene was reminiscent of the earlier one, but this time, the outcome was entirely different. After being beaten by hundreds of fists, the monster was already severely injured; in other words, it was at the end of its strength. This time, instead of being knocked underground, it was shattered into pieces.

bú yòng shuō ， zhè shì lín xuān duì mù yuán qì de bsp; xiào guǒ bìng bú shì hěn lǐ xiǎng ， xià yī kè ， tā jiù jiāng nà jiā suǒ zhèng tuō ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， zǒng zhī shì qǐ dào le tuō yán shí jiān de xiào guǒ 。

不用说，这是林轩对木元气的bsp;效果并不是很理想，下一刻，他就将那枷锁挣脱，但不管如何，总之是起到了拖延时间的效果。

A pile of scattered stones remained on the spot, with nothing else visible except for no apparent infant soul escaping.

chā zhī háo lí ， miù yǐ qiān lǐ ， gāo shǒu guò zhāo ， zhǐ zhēng zhāo xī ， zhè jù xíng róng bù jǐn méi yǒu cuò ， ér qiě shì qià dàng de 。

差之毫厘，谬以千里，高手过招，只争朝夕，这句形容不仅没有错，而且是恰当的。

No, there was still something.

tǔ yuán qì yǐ chóng xīn níng jù ， nà zhǎng dá bǎi zhàng de shǒu bì zài cì chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ ， wǔ zhǐ jǐn wò ， yī quán hěn hěn de xiàng zhe duì fāng de tóu dǐng dǎ xià lái le 。

土元气已重新凝聚，那长达百丈的手臂再次出现在视线里，五指紧握，一拳狠狠的向着对方的头顶打下来了。

Lin Xuan's gaze swept over the black rocks, his brows rising as if he had noticed something. Without hesitation, his right hand flicked out, and a beam of light shot from his sleeve into view.

yīn wèi gāng gāng nà chí zhì de xiào guǒ ， jù shí guài wù wú chǔ kě duǒ ， guǐ liǎn shàng lì sè yī xiǎn zhī hòu ， tóng yàng shì yī quán hěn hěn de dǎ shàng qù le 。

因为刚刚那迟滞的效果，巨石怪物无处可躲，鬼脸上厉色一显之后，同样是一拳狠狠的打上去了。

A blue crystal-like object appeared in his sight—about the size of a palm, it looked mysterious. This was undoubtedly the most important item within the giant stone monster's body.

pēng ！

嘭！

After carefully examining it for a moment, Lin Xuan found no clear use for it and casually stowed it away in his waist pouch.

yǔ gāng gāng de qíng jǐng pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù ， rán ér zhè yī huí de jié guǒ ， què shì wán quán bù tóng de 。

与刚刚的情景颇有几分相似之处，然而这一回的结果，却是完全不同的。

This outcome differed slightly from his initial expectations; he hadn't anticipated that there would be no infant soul or spirit after the monster's death. Therefore, he couldn't perform a soul-searching technique.

gāng gāng bèi shù bǎi gè quán tou bào dǎ yī dùn zhī hòu ， jù shí guài yǐ shì biàn tǐ lín shāng ， jiǎn dān de shuō ， jiù shì qiáng nǔ zhī mò ， zhè yī cì ， tā méi yǒu bèi hōng rù dì xià ， ér shì zhí jiē zá le gè xī bā làn le 。

刚刚被数百个拳头暴打一顿之后，巨石怪已是遍体鳞伤，简单的说，就是强弩之末，这一次，牠没有被轰入地下，而是直接砸了个稀巴烂了。

But that was fine; Lin Xuan wasn't in a hurry. If something unexpected occurred here, he believed it wouldn't take long to find other clues.

yuán dì sàn luò zhe yī dì de suì shí ， chú cǐ yǐ wài bié wú tā wù ， yě méi yǒu shén me yuán yīng dùn chū 。

原地散落着一地的碎石，除此以外别无他物，也没有什么元婴遁出。

Years of experience had taught him patience and calmness.

bú duì ， hái shì yǒu qí tā dōng xī de 。

不对，还是有其他东西的。

After killing the giant stone creature, Lin Xuan's powerful aura weakened visibly. Soon, it returned to an intermediate-stage infant soul level. Whether this was considered playing a fool for a tiger or not, Lin Xuan knew it would be advantageous in his current situation. He always liked to keep some backup plans.

lín xuān mù guāng zài nà duī hēi sè de shí tou shàng sǎo guò ， méi tóu yī tiāo ， xiàng shì xiàn le shén me ， suí hòu háo bù yóu yù de yòu shǒu yī fú ， yī dào guāng xiá jiù cóng yī xiù zhōng fēi lüè ér chū 。

林轩目光在那堆黑色的石头上扫过，眉头一挑，像是现了什么，随后毫不犹豫的右手一拂，一道光霞就从衣袖中飞掠而出。

After calming down, Lin Xuan transformed into an inconspicuous streak of light and flew away towards the distance. Honestly speaking, he had no specific goal but was looking for opportunities through this method.

yī kuài lán sè de shuǐ jīng yī yàng de dōng xī ， chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。

一块蓝色的水晶一样的东西，出现在了视线里。

The truth will eventually come to light; Lin Xuan believed that he would slowly uncover the mystery.

bā zhǎng dà ， kàn shàng qù pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn shén mì ， bú yòng shuō ， zhè shì jù shí guài tǐ nèi zuì zhòng yào de yī jiàn dōng xī 。

巴掌大，看上去颇有几分神秘，不用说，这是巨石怪体内最重要的一件东西。

Meanwhile, atop a nameless mountain, two infant soul cultivators stood side by side. The male, around thirty-five or so years old, was strikingly handsome, while the female wore a white imperial robe, her figure curvaceous but with an unremarkable face. Despite their intimate expressions, worry etched their brows.

lín xuān zǐ xì duān xiáng piàn kè ， zàn shí què kàn bù chū tā yǒu shén me yòng tú ， yú shì suí shǒu shōu luó dào yāo jiān de xū yú dài lǐ qù le 。

林轩仔细端详片刻，暂时却看不出牠有什么用途，于是随手收罗到腰间的须臾袋里去了。

After about a short tea break, silver light flashed in the distance as several streaks of light appeared in their vision. Although not particularly fast, they weren't far apart to begin with.

zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， yǔ yuán xiān de yù jì ， lüè yǒu jǐ fēn bù tóng ， méi xiǎng dào jù shí guài sǐ hòu ， jū rán bú jiàn yuán yīng hún pò ， nà zì rán méi yǒu bàn fǎ shī zhǎn sōu hún zhī shù 。

这样的结果，与原先的预计，略有几分不同，没想到巨石怪死后，居然不见元婴魂魄，那自然没有办法施展搜魂之术。

Soon, these lights descended onto the mountain peak and slowed down.

bù guò méi yǒu guān xì ， lín xuān bù jí ， rú guǒ cǐ chù ， zhēn shēng le shén me bù wéi rén zhī de biàn gù ， lín xuān xiāng xìn ， hái huì yù jiàn qí tā duān ní de 。

不过没有关系，林轩不急，如果此处，真生了什么不为人知的变故，林轩相信，还会遇见其他端倪的。

The cultivators' powers varied, but even the weakest was at the condensation stage, just barely entering it, still somewhat unstable.

xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ ， zhè me duō nián suì yuè de mó lì ， zǎo yǐ ràng tā de xīn xìng shí fēn chén wěn le 。

心急吃不了热豆腐，这么多年岁月的磨砺，早已让他的心xìng十分沉稳了。

"Disciples bow before Master," the cultivators bowed together.

miè shā jù shí guài yǐ hòu ， lín xuān shēn shàng suǒ sàn chū lái de qiáng dà qì xī ， yǐ rou yǎn kě jiàn de dù ， xùn jiǎn ruò ， hěn kuài ， yòu huī fù dào yuán yīng zhōng qī de chéng dù ， bù zhī dào zhè suàn bù suàn bàn zhū chī hǔ ， bù guò lín xuān xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， zhè kěn dìng duì yú mù qián de chǔ jìng ， dà yǒu hǎo chù 。

灭杀巨石怪以后，林轩身上所散出来的强大气息，以rou眼可见的度，迅减弱，很快，又恢复到元婴中期的程度，不知道这算不算扮猪吃虎，不过林轩心里有数，这肯定对于目前的处境，大有好处。

"Enough, it's late; no need for formalities." The male waved his hand impatiently. "How are things progressing with what I asked you to do?"

tā zuò shì qíng ， dōu shì xǐ huān liú yī xiē hòu shǒu de 。

他做事情，都是喜欢留一些后手的。

P.S.: Second update of the day, more recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
