第一千八百七十一章血火蚁的伤害免疫
Chapter 1871 - The Bloodfire Ants' Immunity to Harm
shà shí jiān , wēng míng shēng dà zuò , zhěng gè tiān kōng , dōu bèi xuè hóng sè de chóng yún gěi tián mǎn le , qián miàn de mó chóng yǔn luò , hòu miàn de xuè huǒ yǐ jǐn gēn zhe jiāng fèng xì dǔ zhù 。
霎时间,嗡鸣声大做,整个天空,都被血红sè的虫云给填满了,前面的魔虫陨落,后面的血火蚁紧跟着将缝隙堵住。
A buzzing sound filled the air as a crimson cloud of insects completely enveloped the sky. As the evil insects fell, the bloodfire ants quickly sealed any gaps.
zuì chū jǐ xī , nà è guǐ de xū yǐng hái xiǎn de wēi fēng shí zú , dàn hěn kuài , tā de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn , jiù bèi mì mì má má de xuè huǒ yǐ pá mǎn 。
最初几息,那恶鬼的虚影还显得威风十足,但很快,牠的身体表面,就被密密麻麻的血火蚁爬满。
Initially, the ghostly figure of the demon seemed formidable, but soon its body was covered in densely packed bloodfire ants.
nà xiē mó chóng yě bù yǎo shì , jiù jìng jìng de fù zhuó , rán ér bì yōu xiān zi què bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ sōng qì , xiāng fǎn , tā de biǎo qíng níng zhòng wú bǐ , yī bù hǎo de yù gǎn , mí màn zài xīn jiān 。
那些魔虫也不咬噬,就静静的附着,然而碧幽仙子却并没有因此松气,相反,她的表情凝重无比,一不好的预感,弥漫在心间。
These demons did not bite or sting; they merely clung silently. However, Lady Bixiu's expression remained grim as a bad feeling filled her heart.
guǒ rán , xià yī kè , yī gǔ mán huāng de qì xī pèi rán ér chū , yǔ zhī bàn suí de hái yǒu lì qì , fēng kuáng wú bǐ , hōng , yī zhèn tiān dòng dì de jù xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
果然,下一刻,一股蛮荒的气息沛然而出,与之伴随的还有戾气,疯狂无比,轰,一震天动地的巨响声传入耳朵。
Sure enough, an overwhelming and savage aura suddenly erupted, accompanied by intense rage. A deafening roar echoed through the air.
nà xiē fù zhuó zài è guǐ xū yǐng shàng de xuè huǒ yǐ jū rán yì qǐ zì bào diào le 。
那些附着在恶鬼虚影上的血火蚁居然一起自爆掉了。
The bloodfire ants attached to the ghostly figure simultaneously self-detonated.
zhè zhǒng mó chóng , dān gè de wēi lì bù zhí yī tí , zì bào yě shì yī yàng dì , dàn shǔ yǐ wàn jì de hé zài yì qǐ , nà zì bào de wēi lì jiù bù róng hū shì , yǐ duō yǎo sǐ xiàng jué duì shì xiū xiān jiè de zhì lǐ , è guǐ xū yǐng sī háo fǎn kàng zhī lì yě wú , rú qì pào yì bān de pò miè diào le 。
这种魔虫,单个的威力不值一提,自爆也是一样地,但数以万计的合在一起,那自爆的威力就不容忽视,蚁多咬死象绝对是修仙界的至理,恶鬼虚影丝毫反抗之力也无,如气泡一般的破灭掉了。
These demons individually were insignificant in terms of power, but with thousands of them together, their self-detonation became a formidable force. However, this delay was enough for Lin Xuan.
rán ér lìng rén xīn jīng de hái bù jǐn yú cǐ , yǒu yì diǎn shí fēn de ràng rén jīng qí , nà bào zhà de wēi lì , suī méi yǒu bō jí fāng yuán shù lǐ , dàn fù jìn bǎi yú zhàng jué duì bèi juǎn le jìn qù 。
然而令人心惊的还不仅于此,有一点十分的让人惊奇,那爆炸的威力,虽没有bō及方圆数里,但附近百余丈绝对被卷了进去。
He raised his hands and drew mysterious and ancient incantations from his lips, casting a spell that shimmered with five-colored light. The aura seemed to have life as it spread outwards, covering an area of about ten feet in diameter and concealing Lin Xuan's form.
huàn jù huà shuō , chóng yún xiāng dāng yī bù fèn dōu bèi juǎn rù , kě nà xiē xuè huǒ yǐ què bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ huà wèi xū wú 。
换句话说,虫云相当一部分都被卷入,可那些血火蚁却并没有因此化为虚无。
"..."
shāng hài miǎn yì !
伤害免疫!
Lady Bixiu was shocked. Although she did not know Lin Xuan's intentions, as a middle-stage Dongxuan cultivator, she recognized the significance of his secret technique. She tried to stop him but was met with a barrage of bloodfire ants that continued to approach despite her efforts.
bì yōu xiān zi de liǎn sè nán kàn wú bǐ 。
碧幽仙子的脸sè难看无比。
Enraged, Lady Bixiu waved her hand, and a demon sword flew out, reducing the bloodfire ants to dust. Lightning fire burst from her sleeves, shattering the insect cloud into pieces.
cǐ nv yě suàn jiàn wén guǎng bó , méi xiǎng dào duì fāng qū shǐ de mó chóng jū rán huì yǒu zhè yàng nán chán de tiān fù 。
此nv也算见闻广博,没想到对方驱使的魔虫居然会有这样难缠的天赋。
These demons' immunity to harm was irrelevant; they were merely minor tactics. But this delay gave Lin Xuan enough time. As Lady Bixiu broke free, she witnessed an incredible scene.
suǒ wèi shāng hài miǎn yì , zhèng què de shuō , shì zhǐ tóng lèi jiān de shāng hài miǎn yì 。
所谓伤害免疫,正确的说,是指同类间的伤害免疫。
A dull explosion sounded as the aura dispersed, revealing a hundred Lin Xuans. Each one moved differently but looked identical, achieving a perfect illusion that could deceive anyone.
bǐ rú shuō xuè huǒ yǐ gāng gāng , yǒu yī xiǎo bù fèn shī zhǎn le zì bào de zhāo shù , wēi néng kě yǐ shāng dí , dàn duì tóng yī zú qún de xuè huǒ yǐ , què méi yǒu fēn háo shā shāng lì 。
比如说血火蚁刚刚,有一xiǎo部分施展了自爆的招数,威能可以伤敌,但对同一族群的血火蚁,却没有分毫杀伤力。
Lady Bixiu was stunned. Even with her vast experience, this technique was too amazing to have heard of. The delay caused the space around them to distort and collapse. The hundred Lin Xuans vanished instantly.
yī jù huà jiě shì , yǒu le shāng hài miǎn yì , jiù bú huì zào chéng wù shāng zhè zhǒng shì 。
一句话解释,有了伤害免疫,就不会造成误伤这种事。
"Such powerful concealment techniques."
tīng qǐ lái hěn lí pǔ , bù guò xiū xiān jiè běn jiù shén qí , yǒu hěn duō wèn tí , què shí shì wú fǎ ná cháng lǐ qù chuǎi mó dì 。
听起来很离谱,不过修仙界本就神奇,有很多问题,确实是无法拿常理去揣摩地。
Lady Bixiu's eyebrows furrowed tightly. However, she remained calm despite the shock. Closing her eyes, she released a powerful divine sense.
cǐ nv yǐ qián yě jǐn jǐn shì tīng shuō , méi xiǎng dào rú jīn què qīn yǎn mù dǔ 。
此nv以前也仅仅是听说,没想到如今却亲眼目睹。
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan was already a thousand miles away.
hái bù zhǐ yú cǐ , bào zhà zhī hòu , yú bō xiàng zhe sì zhōu héng sǎo , xuè huǒ yǐ mù yù zài qí zhōng , bù jǐn fēn háo shāng hài méi yǒu , fǎn ér zài xī shōu 。
还不止于此,爆炸之后,余bō向着四周横扫,血火蚁沐浴在其中,不仅分毫伤害没有,反而在吸收。
Instantaneous travel over long distances could not escape middle-stage Dongxuan cultivators; their divine senses could reach five thousand miles. Therefore, Lin Xuan planned to move continuously from the start.
méi cuò , shì xī shōu , fǎng fú nà xiē zì bào hòu xuè huǒ yǐ cán liú de líng lì , bèi huó zhe de tóng lèi xī shōu le jìn qù 。
没错,是吸收,仿佛那些自爆后血火蚁残留的灵力,被活着的同类吸收了进去。
For ordinary cultivators, he had to consider whether his body could withstand it, but for Lin Xuan, with his resilient physique, there was no issue.
tā men de tǐ xíng dà le yī xiē , xiāng duì lái shuō , yōng yǒu le gèng qiáng de shí lì 。
牠们的体型大了一些,相对来说,拥有了更强的实力。
After manifesting a hundred feet away, Lin Xuan immediately used the Illusory Shadow Escape technique again. He repeated this process five times.
zhè yàng de jié guǒ , lián lín xuān liǎn shàng dōu lù chū yì wài zhī sè, shì tā yǐ qián , suǒ bù céng xiǎng guò dào de 。
这样的结果,连林轩脸上都lù出意外之sè,是他以前,所不曾想过到的。
Just a few more attempts and everything would be fine. However, at that moment, a light exclamation caught his attention.
bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè , lín xuān yǐ méi yǒu xīn qíng shēn jiū shén me , tā xiān yòng fú lù , zài jiāng yī bù fèn xuè huǒ yǐ fàng chū , mù dì dōu bú shì wèi le kè dí , ér shì wèi zì jǐ táo pǎo zhēng qǔ shí jī , bù guò rú jīn kàn lái , zhè mó chóng fàng duō le yī xiē 。
不过此时此刻,林轩已没有心情深究什么,他先用符箓,再将一部分血火蚁放出,目的都不是为了克敌,而是为自己逃跑争取时机,不过如今看来,这魔虫放多了一些。
A chill ran down Lin Xuan's spine as he turned to look. To his left, about a hundred feet away, dozens of cultivators gathered.
bù guò méi yǒu guān xì ,xiǎo xīn yī xiē gèng wéi wěn tuǒ , fǎn zhèng xuè huǒ yǐ de fán zhí lì shì shí fēn qiáng dà de , sǔn shī de zhè xiē mó chóng , hěn róng yì jiù néng dé dào bǔ chōng 。
不过没有关系,xiǎo心一些更为稳妥,反正血火蚁的繁殖力是十分强大的,损失的这些魔虫,很容易就能得到补充。
Two in particular stood out. Their powerful presence was concealed but recognizable to Lin Xuan—middle-stage Dongxuan monsters.
jiàn duì fāng guǒ rán bèi chán zhù , lín xuān nǎ lǐ hái huì dān gē , rú jīn shí jiān jǐn pò , dōu shì hǎo bù róng yì cái zhēng qǔ lái de 。
见对方果然被缠住,林轩哪里还会耽搁,如今时间紧迫,都是好不容易才争取来的。
Fortunately, they were only at the beginning stage, but their strength still sent shivers down one's spine.
tā jiāng shuāng shǒu tái qǐ , zài xū kōng zhōng huá guò yī dào yòu yī dào de guǐ jì , zuǐ chún lǐ , yě chuán lái shén mì ér gǔ piáo de zhòu yǔ 。
他将双手抬起,在虚空中划过一道又一道的轨迹,嘴chún里,也传来神秘而古朴的咒语。
The one on the left was no taller than four feet, emaciated with large eyes and a flat nose, and a mouth full of yellow teeth. His hair was messy and greenish-black.
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。
"Toxic Dragon Patriarch."
lín xuān shēn shàng qīng máng shǎn dòng bù yǐ , suí hòu yòu biàn chéng le hóng sè, wǔ sè guāng yùn bù tíng de xuán zhuǎn liú lí , kàn shàng qù gǔ piáo ér shén mì 。
林轩身上青芒闪动不已,随后又变成了红sè,五sè光晕不停的旋转琉璃,看上去古朴而神秘。
Although Lin Xuan had never met this monster in person, he recognized its avatar after two life-and-death battles. The Toxic Dragon Patriarch was not alone; beside him stood White Bone True Monarch at the middle-stage Dongxuan level. Behind them were dozens of high-level cultivators, each with formidable strength.
suí hòu nà xiē líng guāng měng rán bào zhǎng qǐ lái , rú yǒu shēng mìng yì bān , xiàng zhe sì zhōu kuò zhǎn , hěn kuài , jiù mí màn náng kuò le mǔ xǔ fāng yuán , jiāng lín xuān de shēn xíng yǎn gài 。
随后那些灵光猛然暴涨起来,如有生命一般,像着四周扩展,很快,就弥漫囊括了亩许方圆,将林轩的身形掩盖。
The Holy City spared no expense for this mission.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
Now, these cultivators from Red Leaf Island stared in disbelief as Lin Xuan appeared out of thin air. Their faces showed nothing but shock.
bì yōu xiān zi dà jīng shī sè, tā suī rán bù zhī dào lín xuān de mù dì shì shén me , dàn cǐ nv zuò wéi dòng xuán zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě , jiàn shí guǎng bó , yǐ rán kàn chū lín xuān shī zhǎn de mì shù fēi tóng xiǎo kě , dāng rán bù xiǎng ràng tā chéng gōng , yì tú zǔ zhǐ , rán ér nà xiē shèng yú de xuè huǒ yǐ qián pū hòu jì , gēn běn jiù bù zhī dào wēi xiǎn wèi hé wù , fēng kuáng de xiàng tā lǒng zhào guò lái le 。
碧幽仙子大惊失sè,她虽然不知道林轩的目的是什么,但此nv作为dòng玄中期的修仙者,见识广博,已然看出林轩施展的秘术非同xiǎo可,当然不想让他成功,意图阻止,然而那些剩余的血火蚁前仆后继,根本就不知道危险为何物,疯狂的像她笼罩过来了。
Among them, the fastest to react was the Toxic Dragon Patriarch. Just like his familiarity with Lin Xuan, he hated him deeply and could not have missed his presence.
cǐ nv dà nù ,yù shǒu yī fú , yī bǐng mó jiàn fēi lüè ér chū , suǒ guò zhī chù , xuè huǒ yǐ rú ní niē zhǐ hú , quán bù bèi jiǎo wèi fěn mò , tóng shí cóng tā de yī xiù zhōng fēi chū wú shù léi huǒ , jiāng shuò dà de chóng yún zhà le gè qī líng bā luò 。
此nv大怒,yù手一拂,一柄魔剑飞掠而出,所过之处,血火蚁如泥捏纸糊,全部被剿为粉末,同时从她的衣袖中飞出无数雷火,将硕大的虫云炸了个七零八落。
After a brief moment of surprise, the Toxic Dragon Patriarch's face lit up with joy.
zhè mó chóng huì shāng hài miǎn yì yòu rú hé , qū qū diāo chóng xiǎo jì , jiù xiǎng dǎng zhù zì jǐ ?
这魔虫会伤害免疫又如何,区区雕虫xiǎo技,就想挡住自己?
"Lin Xuan, it's you!"
xuè huǒ yǐ què rán dǎng bú zhù , rán ér tuō yán de zhè yì diǎn shí jiān , duì lín xuān lái shuō , yǐ jīng zú gòu le , dāng bì yōu xiān zi chōng chū chóng wéi , què zhèng hǎo kàn jiàn le bù kě sī yì de yí mù 。
血火蚁确然挡不住,然而拖延的这一点时间,对林轩来说,已经足够了,当碧幽仙子冲出重围,却正好看见了不可思议的一幕。
His excitement was evident from his voice.
suí zhe yī yǒu xiē chén mèn de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ , nà xiē líng guāng sàn kāi , kě jìn bǎi gè lín xuān què yìng rù yǎn lián , měi gè de dòng zuò dōu gè bù xiāng tóng , kě piān piān zhǎng xiàng yǔ shēn cái què wéi miào wéi xiào dào jí chù , dá dào le yǐ jiǎ luàn zhēn de dì bù 。
随着一有些沉闷的爆裂声传入耳朵,那些灵光散开,可近百个林轩却映入眼帘,每个的动作都各不相同,可偏偏长相与身材却惟妙惟肖到极处,达到了以假luàn真的地步。
He did not know why Lin Xuan appeared here but cared little. This guy had destroyed his lair; there was no way he would let him escape.
bì yōu xiān zi dà jīng shī sè, tā yě suàn jiàn shí guǎng bó , kě zhè shì shén me mì shù , yě tài shén qí le , bié shuō jiàn , lián dōu tīng dōu méi yǒu tīng shuō 。
碧幽仙子大惊失sè,她也算见识广博,可这是什么秘术,也太神奇了,别说见,连都听都没有听说。
With a loud shout, the Toxic Dragon Patriarch raised his hand like a bird claw and curled his fingers, reaching out toward Lin Xuan...
ér zhè shāo yī dān gē , fù jìn de kōng jiān jiù niǔ qū tā xiàn , nà jìn bǎi gè lín xuān yī hòng ér sàn , quán dōu cóng yuán dì xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
而这稍一耽搁,附近的空间就扭曲塌陷,那近百个林轩一哄而散,全都从原地消失不见。
This single strike seemed to grasp the essence of heaven and earth's primordial energy, merging with the demon's aura to form an enormous hand that descended upon Lin Xuan.
“ hǎo lì hài de dùn shù 。”
“好厉害的遁术。”
Lin Xuan did not show fear. In just a few moments, he had already conjured several thoughts in his mind. He was momentarily distracted, but so was the opponent. Thus, he still had ample time to use the Illusory Shadow Escape technique.
bì yōu xiān zi de xiù méi , dùn shí jǐn jǐn zhòu zài yì qǐ le , bù guò cǐ nv biǎo xiàn dé hěn chén zhuó , suī jīng bù luàn, bì shàng shuāng móu , jiāng qiáng dà yǐ jí de shén shí fàng chū 。
碧幽仙子的秀眉,顿时紧紧皱在一起了,不过此nv表现得很沉着,虽惊不luàn,闭上双眸,将强大以极的神识放出。
However, Lin Xuan chose not to run.
ér cǐ shí cǐ kè , lín xuān zǎo yǐ zài qiān lǐ zhī yuǎn le 。
而此时此刻,林轩早已在千里之远了。
Why escape when one could turn danger into opportunity?
shùn xī qiān lǐ , què bìng bù zú yǐ bǎi tuō dòng xuán zhōng qī de lǎo guài wù , yǐ duì fāng de jìng jiè lái shuō , shén shí yīng gāi shì kě yǐ dá dào wǔ qiān lǐ zhī yuǎn de 。
瞬息千里,却并不足以摆脱dòng玄中期的老怪物,以对方的境界来说,神识应该是可以达到五千里之远的。
Despite being in a dangerous situation now, there might be an opportunity for transformation.
gù ér lín xuān cóng yī kāi shǐ jiù xiǎng hǎo le , lián xù yí dòng 。
故而林轩从一开始就想好了,连续移动。
The enormous hand descended upon him.
duì yú pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě , yào kǎo lǜ ròu shēn néng fǒu chéng shòu dé zhù , rán ér lín xuān bù tóng , yǐ tā qū tǐ de jiān rèn chéng dù , jué duì shì fēn háo wèn tí méi yǒu 。
对于普通的修仙者,要考虑ròu身能否承受得住,然而林轩不同,以他躯体的坚韧程度,绝对是分毫问题没有。
If it were just a regular Separation Period cultivator, this would have reduced them to dust. But Lin Xuan did not rely on common sense.
qiān lǐ zhī wài , lín xuān xiàn xíng zhī hòu , háo bù dān gē , chóng xīn shī zhǎn huàn yǐng dùn mì shù 。
千里之外,林轩现形之后,毫不耽搁,重新施展幻影遁秘术。
He did not dodge; instead, he raised his right hand and shouted as he punched toward the sky.
jiù zhè yàng zhōu ér fù shǐ , lián xù shī zhǎn le wǔ cì 。
就这样周而复始,连续施展了五次。
As he moved, primordial energy gathered around him, forming a massive fist that clashed with his punch against the sky.
zhǐ yào zài yòng jǐ cì , méi yǒu shén me chā cuò , yīng gāi jiù néng gòu bǎi tuō , rán ér piān piān jiù zài cǐ kè , yī qīng yí de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
只要再用几次,没有什么差错,应该就能够摆脱,然而偏偏就在此刻,一轻咦的声音传入耳朵。
Boom!
yī gǔ hán yì cóng lín xuān de bèi hòu sà rán shēng qǐ , tā dà jīng zhī xià lián máng huí guò tóu qù 。
一股寒意从林轩的背后飒然升起,他大惊之下连忙回过头去。
A deafening sound echoed through the air. The two enormous objects formed by the primordial energy collided violently.
tā de mù guāng luò zài le zuǒ cè bǎi yú zhàng yuǎn chù , nà lǐ jū rán jù jí zhāo shù shí míng xiū xiān zhě 。
他的目光落在了左侧百余丈远处,那里居然聚集着数十名修仙者。
The impact was beyond description; Lin Xuan staggered back a step.
yǐn rén zhǔ mù de shì qí zhōng liǎng gè , nà qiáng dà de qì xī suī rán hán ér bù lù, dàn lín xuān yī jiù shì yī yǎn jiù rèn chū ,dòng xuán qī lǎo guài wù 。
引人瞩目的是其中两个,那强大的气息虽然含而不lù,但林轩依旧是一眼就认出,dòng玄期老怪物。
This was expected. Although dual婴 and one丹 helped control the primordial energy, they were still inferior to middle-stage Dongxuan cultivators in terms of strength.
hǎo zài jǐn jǐn shì chū qī , dàn nà shí lì yī jiù lìng rén xīn jì 。
好在仅仅是初期,但那实力依旧令人心悸。
The gap between their levels made it difficult to overcome. Sometimes, the chasm became apparent without notice.
yóu qí shì zuǒ biān yí gè , gāo bù guò sì chǐ , hún shēn shàng xià shòu gǔ lín xún , yǎn dà bí tā , yī kǒu huáng yá , tóu shàng yī péng luàn zāo zāo de tóu fà , què shì zuò mò lǜ zhī sè, cǐ shí zhèng yòng yī zhǒng chī jīng yì cháng de mù guāng , jiāng zì jǐ wàng zhe 。
尤其是左边一个,高不过四尺,浑身上下瘦骨嶙峋,眼大鼻塌,一口黄牙,头上一蓬luàn糟糟的头发,却是做墨绿之sè,此时正用一种吃惊异常的目光,将自己望着。
In this confrontation, Lin Xuan was slightly at a disadvantage, but he maintained his composure. Instead, the Toxic Dragon Patriarch, who seemed to have the upper hand, showed extreme shock on his face.
“ dú lóng lǎo zǔ 。”
“毒龙老祖。”
"Impossible!"
jǐn guǎn lín xuān méi yǒu hé zhè lǎo guài wù de zhēn shēn cháo xiāng guò , dàn yǔ tā de huà shēn què shì liǎng dù shēng sǐ xiāng bó , liǎng rén ēn yuàn jiū gé , lín xuān yī yǎn jiù rèn chū lái le 。
尽管林轩没有和这老怪物的真身朝相过,但与牠的化身却是两度生死相搏,两人恩怨纠葛,林轩一眼就认出来了。
He even exclaimed in surprise and scanned his divine sense toward Lin Xuan.
cǐ shí lǎo guài wù bìng fēi gū jiā guǎ rén yí gè 。
此时老怪物并非孤家寡人一个。
His expression then turned puzzled. Late-stage Separation Period, correct? Just now, he almost mistook Lin Xuan for a peer-level cultivator, thinking that he had somehow advanced to middle-stage Dongxuan through good fortune.
tā de shēn páng hái yǒu yī rén de xiū wèi yě shì dòng xuán qī lái zhe , bú yòng shuō , shì nà bái gǔ zhēn jūn lái zhe , chú cǐ yǐ wài , liǎng rén shēn hòu , hái yǒu shù shí míng gāo jiē xiū xiān zhě , yí gè gè jiē shí lì bù ruò , zuì chà de yě shì yuán yīng chū qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
他的身旁还有一人的修为也是dòng玄期来着,不用说,是那白骨真君来着,除此以外,两人身后,还有数十名高阶修仙者,一个个皆实力不弱,最差的也是元婴初期的修仙者。
Such occurrences were rare but not unheard of; luck could play a significant role in cultivation.
wèi le zhè cǐ de rèn wù , shèng chéng yě suàn shì bù xī xuè běn le 。
为了这此的任务,圣城也算是不惜血本了。
PS: Fellow daoists, please give me some recommendation votes. The recent votes have been weak, and I'm about to be pushed off the top of the仙侠 category recommendations list. Your help is greatly appreciated!
Chapter 1871 - The Bloodfire Ants' Immunity to Harm
A buzzing sound filled the air as a crimson cloud of insects completely enveloped the sky. As the evil insects fell, the bloodfire ants quickly sealed any gaps.
Initially, the ghostly figure of the demon seemed formidable, but soon its body was covered in densely packed bloodfire ants.
These demons did not bite or sting; they merely clung silently. However, Lady Bixiu's expression remained grim as a bad feeling filled her heart.
Sure enough, an overwhelming and savage aura suddenly erupted, accompanied by intense rage. A deafening roar echoed through the air.
The bloodfire ants attached to the ghostly figure simultaneously self-detonated.
These demons individually were insignificant in terms of power, but with thousands of them together, their self-detonation became a formidable force. However, this delay was enough for Lin Xuan.
He raised his hands and drew mysterious and ancient incantations from his lips, casting a spell that shimmered with five-colored light. The aura seemed to have life as it spread outwards, covering an area of about ten feet in diameter and concealing Lin Xuan's form.
"..."
Lady Bixiu was shocked. Although she did not know Lin Xuan's intentions, as a middle-stage Dongxuan cultivator, she recognized the significance of his secret technique. She tried to stop him but was met with a barrage of bloodfire ants that continued to approach despite her efforts.
Enraged, Lady Bixiu waved her hand, and a demon sword flew out, reducing the bloodfire ants to dust. Lightning fire burst from her sleeves, shattering the insect cloud into pieces.
These demons' immunity to harm was irrelevant; they were merely minor tactics. But this delay gave Lin Xuan enough time. As Lady Bixiu broke free, she witnessed an incredible scene.
A dull explosion sounded as the aura dispersed, revealing a hundred Lin Xuans. Each one moved differently but looked identical, achieving a perfect illusion that could deceive anyone.
Lady Bixiu was stunned. Even with her vast experience, this technique was too amazing to have heard of. The delay caused the space around them to distort and collapse. The hundred Lin Xuans vanished instantly.
"Such powerful concealment techniques."
Lady Bixiu's eyebrows furrowed tightly. However, she remained calm despite the shock. Closing her eyes, she released a powerful divine sense.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan was already a thousand miles away.
Instantaneous travel over long distances could not escape middle-stage Dongxuan cultivators; their divine senses could reach five thousand miles. Therefore, Lin Xuan planned to move continuously from the start.
For ordinary cultivators, he had to consider whether his body could withstand it, but for Lin Xuan, with his resilient physique, there was no issue.
After manifesting a hundred feet away, Lin Xuan immediately used the Illusory Shadow Escape technique again. He repeated this process five times.
Just a few more attempts and everything would be fine. However, at that moment, a light exclamation caught his attention.
A chill ran down Lin Xuan's spine as he turned to look. To his left, about a hundred feet away, dozens of cultivators gathered.
Two in particular stood out. Their powerful presence was concealed but recognizable to Lin Xuan—middle-stage Dongxuan monsters.
Fortunately, they were only at the beginning stage, but their strength still sent shivers down one's spine.
The one on the left was no taller than four feet, emaciated with large eyes and a flat nose, and a mouth full of yellow teeth. His hair was messy and greenish-black.
"Toxic Dragon Patriarch."
Although Lin Xuan had never met this monster in person, he recognized its avatar after two life-and-death battles. The Toxic Dragon Patriarch was not alone; beside him stood White Bone True Monarch at the middle-stage Dongxuan level. Behind them were dozens of high-level cultivators, each with formidable strength.
The Holy City spared no expense for this mission.
Now, these cultivators from Red Leaf Island stared in disbelief as Lin Xuan appeared out of thin air. Their faces showed nothing but shock.
Among them, the fastest to react was the Toxic Dragon Patriarch. Just like his familiarity with Lin Xuan, he hated him deeply and could not have missed his presence.
After a brief moment of surprise, the Toxic Dragon Patriarch's face lit up with joy.
"Lin Xuan, it's you!"
His excitement was evident from his voice.
He did not know why Lin Xuan appeared here but cared little. This guy had destroyed his lair; there was no way he would let him escape.
With a loud shout, the Toxic Dragon Patriarch raised his hand like a bird claw and curled his fingers, reaching out toward Lin Xuan...
This single strike seemed to grasp the essence of heaven and earth's primordial energy, merging with the demon's aura to form an enormous hand that descended upon Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan did not show fear. In just a few moments, he had already conjured several thoughts in his mind. He was momentarily distracted, but so was the opponent. Thus, he still had ample time to use the Illusory Shadow Escape technique.
However, Lin Xuan chose not to run.
Why escape when one could turn danger into opportunity?
Despite being in a dangerous situation now, there might be an opportunity for transformation.
The enormous hand descended upon him.
If it were just a regular Separation Period cultivator, this would have reduced them to dust. But Lin Xuan did not rely on common sense.
He did not dodge; instead, he raised his right hand and shouted as he punched toward the sky.
As he moved, primordial energy gathered around him, forming a massive fist that clashed with his punch against the sky.
Boom!
A deafening sound echoed through the air. The two enormous objects formed by the primordial energy collided violently.
The impact was beyond description; Lin Xuan staggered back a step.
This was expected. Although dual婴 and one丹 helped control the primordial energy, they were still inferior to middle-stage Dongxuan cultivators in terms of strength.
The gap between their levels made it difficult to overcome. Sometimes, the chasm became apparent without notice.
In this confrontation, Lin Xuan was slightly at a disadvantage, but he maintained his composure. Instead, the Toxic Dragon Patriarch, who seemed to have the upper hand, showed extreme shock on his face.
"Impossible!"
He even exclaimed in surprise and scanned his divine sense toward Lin Xuan.
His expression then turned puzzled. Late-stage Separation Period, correct? Just now, he almost mistook Lin Xuan for a peer-level cultivator, thinking that he had somehow advanced to middle-stage Dongxuan through good fortune.
Such occurrences were rare but not unheard of; luck could play a significant role in cultivation.
