第一千九百零九章真正的交手
Chapter 1909: The True Clash
dú lóng lǎo zǔ xīn zhōng yī lǐn ， zhū bān móu huà zài nǎo hǎi zhōng yī shǎn ér guò ， hái lái bù jí zuò chū shén me jué zé ， tū rán gǎn jué méi xīn xiàn le yì diǎn wēn rè 。
毒龙老祖心中一凛，诸般谋划在脑海中一闪而过，还来不及做出什么抉择，突然感觉眉心现了一点温热。
The Old Demon Dragon's heart tightened as he flashed through all his schemes in his mind. Before he could make a decision, he suddenly felt warmth at the center of his brow.
lǎo guài wù de liǎn sè sà rán biàn le 。
老怪物的脸色飒然变了。
The old monster's face changed abruptly.
suǒ yǒu de biǎo qíng xiāo shī dé zōng jì quán wú ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì kǒng jù zhī sè 。
所有的表情消失得踪迹全无，取而代之的是恐惧之色。
All expressions vanished completely, replaced by fear.
zì jǐ de yī hún yī pò hái zhǎng wò zài lín xuān shǒu zhōng ， tā yào zì jǐ qiú shēng bù dé ， qiú sǐ bù néng bù guò shì shén niàn yī dòng 。
自己的一魂一魄还掌握在林轩手中，他要自己求生不得，求死不能不过是神念一动。
His soul and spirit were still in Lin Xuan's hands; he could neither live nor die as easily as moving a single thought.
“ zhǔ rén xī nù ， lǎo nú zhè jiù chū shǒu 。”
“主人息怒，老奴这就出手。”
"Master, please calm down. I will act now."
dú lóng lǎo zǔ jīng hài yù jué de kāi kǒu ， hǎo zài shēng yīn gāng luò ， méi xīn zhōng de nà yì diǎn wēn rè jiù xiāo shī le 。
毒龙老祖惊骇欲绝的开口，好在声音刚落，眉心中的那一点温热就消失了。
The Old Demon Dragon's voice was filled with terror as he spoke. Just as the words left his mouth, the warmth at his brow dissipated.
rán ér dú lóng xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， nà shì lín xuān zài jǐng gào zì jǐ ， zài fū yǎn xià qù ， jiù shì hún fēi pò sàn de jié jú ， lǎo guài wù nǎ lǐ hái gǎn rú cǐ bù zhì ？
然而毒龙心里有数，那是林轩在警告自己，再敷衍下去，就是魂飞魄散的结局，老怪物哪里还敢如此不智？
However, the Old Demon Dragon knew that Lin Xuan was warning him. If he continued to dawdle, it would be a fatal outcome. The old monster dared not act so foolishly anymore.
liǎn shàng lì qì yī shǎn ér guò ， zhǐ jiàn tā xiǎo shǒu tái qǐ ， cháo zhe hòu nǎo hěn mìng pāi qù ，“ bō ” de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cóng zuǐ bā lǐ fēi chū yī wù 。
脸上戾气一闪而过，只见他小手抬起，朝着后脑狠命拍去，“啵”的声音传入耳朵，从嘴巴里飞出一物。
A trace of viciousness flashed across his face as he raised his small hand and struck his head with force. A "pop" echoed in the air, and an object shot out from his mouth.
lüè yī pán xuán fēi wǔ ， què shì yī bā jiāo shàn xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù 。
略一盘旋飞舞，却是一芭蕉扇形状的宝物。
After a slight rotation, it turned out to be a fan-shaped treasure.
yíng fēng jiù zhǎng ， zhuǎn shùn jiān jiù yǒu zhàng xǔ lái zhǎng 。
迎风就涨，转瞬间就有丈许来长。
It expanded with the wind, reaching over ten feet long almost instantly.
ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， dú lóng lǎo zǔ lián shēn tǐ yě wú ， yuán yīng gāo bù guò cùn xǔ ， yǔ zhè bā jiāo shàn fǎ bǎo de tǐ jī xiāng bǐ ， xiǎn de kě xiào yǐ jí 。
而此时此刻，毒龙老祖连身体也无，元婴高不过寸许，与这芭蕉扇法宝的体积相比，显得可笑以极。
At this moment, the Old Demon Dragon had no physical body; his essence infant was only an inch high. Compared to the size of the fan, he appeared laughably small.
bù guò zài xiū xiān jiè ， shí lì yǔ shēn gāo bìng bú shì chéng zhèng bǐ ， zhǐ jiàn tā yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī zhǐ cháo zhe shēn qián de fǎ bǎo diǎn le guò qù 。
不过在修仙界，实力与身高并不是成正比，只见他右手抬起，一指朝着身前的法宝点了过去。
However, in the cultivation world, strength wasn't directly proportional to height. He raised his right hand and pointed at the treasure before him.
dùn shí ， wēng míng shēng dà zuò ， cǐ shàn bèi céng céng líng máng bāo guǒ ， suí hòu xiàng qián yī wǔ ， yī gǔ guài fēng hū xiào ér chū 。
顿时，嗡鸣声大做，此扇被层层灵芒包裹，随后向前一舞，一股怪风呼啸而出。
Immediately, a buzzing sound filled the air as layers of spiritual light enveloped the fan. It then moved forward, releasing a strange wind.
nà fēng zuò bái sè ， suǒ guò zhī chù ， fēi shā zǒu shí ， gèng qí tè de shì ， nà fēng zuì qián duān zhī chù ， yī quān quān guāng yùn tūn tǔ ， jū rán huàn huà chū le yī guài shòu de tóu lú ， zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， wǎn kǒu cū de zhì bái guāng zhù yī shǎn jí shì de pēn shè ér chū ……
那风做白色，所过之处，飞沙走石，更奇特的是，那风最前端之处，一圈圈光晕吞吐，居然幻化出了一怪兽的头颅，张开血盆大口，碗口粗的炙白光柱一闪即逝的喷射而出……
The wind was white, causing sand and stones to fly everywhere. More astonishingly, at the very front of it, rings of light pulsed, transforming into the head of a monstrous creature with an open maw, spewing out a blazing white light column...
gāng gāng yǐ chà diǎn jiāng lín xuān jī nù ， ràng zì jǐ xiàn rù jìn hún shù de wàn jié bù fù ， dú lóng lǎo zǔ xīn jīng zhī yú ， zhè yī jī ， dǎo shì sī háo yě bù gǎn cáng zhuō ， quán lì yǐ fù 。
刚刚已差点将林轩激怒，让自己陷入禁魂术的万劫不复，毒龙老祖心惊之余，这一击，倒是丝毫也不敢藏拙，全力以赴。
Just now, he had almost provoked Lin Xuan's anger, putting him in danger from the Soul Sealing Technique. The Old Demon Dragon was terrified but did not hold back this time; he put all his effort into it.
shēn wèi dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， jí biàn ròu shēn yǔn luò ， rán ér yuán yīng yǐ shì fēi cháng de wěn gù ， zú yǐ fā huī chū běn tǐ bā chéng yǐ shàng de shí lì 。
身为洞玄期修仙者，即便肉身陨落，然而元婴已是非常的稳固，足以发挥出本体八成以上的实力。
As a Cave玄期 cultivator, even if his physical body perished, his essence infant remained very stable, allowing him to unleash over eighty percent of his true power.
lǎo guài wù dòu fǎ jīng yàn yě shì fēng fù ， zhè yī jī ， gōng dí suǒ bì jiù ， yǔ lín xuān yì qǐ ， pèi hé dé pǒ wèi mò qì 。
老怪物斗法经验也是丰富，这一击，攻敌所必救，与林轩一起，配合得颇为默契。
The old monster had abundant experience in magical battles. This attack targeted the opponent's critical points, working well with Lin Xuan.
miàn duì liǎng rén de jiā jī ， jù jīng wáng de liǎn shàng háo wú jù yì ， dāng rán ， yě shì fēn háo xiǎo shì yě wú ， gāng gāng lín xuān duǒ guò tā de qián kūn yī jī ， zhe shí ràng lǎo guài wù chī jīng fēi xiǎo dì 。
面对两人的夹击，巨鲸王的脸上毫无惧意，当然，也是分毫小视也无，刚刚林轩躲过他的乾坤一击，着实让老怪物吃惊非小地。
Facing their combined assault, the King Whale showed no fear on its face. It did not underestimate them either; Lin Xuan had just dodged his Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring, greatly shocking the old monster.
tā xiàn zài dōu bù qīng chǔ ， lín xuān jiū jìng shì jiāng zì jǐ jué zhāo de ruò diǎn kàn pò ， hái shì wāi dǎ zhèng zháo 。
他现在都不清楚，林轩究竟是将自己绝招的弱点看破，还是歪打正着。
He was unsure if Lin Xuan had seen through his ultimate move's weakness or had hit upon it by chance.
dàn bù guǎn yuán yīn shì shén me ， tā dōu méi yǒu xìng qù ， yǔ duì fāng zài zhè lǐ qiān chě 。
但不管原因是什么，他都没有兴趣，与对方在这里牵扯。
Regardless of the reason, he didn't want to tangle with him here. On their way, they had also seen the corpses of ancient cultivators. His感应and Lin Xuan were in agreement; staying here was not beneficial. A quick resolution was best.
lái de lù shàng ， nà xiē gǔ xiū shì de shī tǐ ， jù jīng wáng tóng yàng jiàn zhe ， tā de gǎn yìng yǔ lín xuān bù móu ér hé ， zhè ge dì fāng dài jiǔ le méi yǒu hǎo chù ， sù zhàn sù jué shì zuì jiā xuǎn zé 。
来的路上，那些古修士的尸体，巨鲸王同样见着，他的感应与林轩不谋而合，这个地方待久了没有好处，速战速决是最佳选择。
Unfortunately, due to his shock earlier, he missed an opportunity and now found himself on the defensive.
kě xī gāng gāng yīn wèi jīng è ， ràng zì jǐ cuò guò le shí jī ， rú jīn yòu xiàn rù bèi dòng ái dǎ de jìng dì 。
可惜刚刚因为惊愕，让自己错过了时机，如今又陷入被动挨打的境地。
The King Whale roared angrily as it faced the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring coming down from above. It didn't dodge or avoid it. Instead, it opened its mouth and spat out a fist-sized pearl.
jù jīng wáng dà nù ， miàn duì nà dāng tóu zá xià lái de jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán jū rán bù shǎn bù duǒ ， yī zhāng kǒu ， yī kē quán tou dà xiǎo de zhū zi pēn chū le tǐ wài 。
巨鲸王大怒，面对那当头砸下来的九天明月环居然不闪不躲，一张口，一颗拳头大小的珠子喷出了体外。
The pearl spun around, creating a hurricane that enveloped Lin Xuan's life treasure.
cǐ zhū dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， yī dào jù fēng píng kōng ér qǐ ， jiāng lín xuān de běn mìng fǎ bǎo bāo guǒ zài le qí jiān 。
此珠滴溜溜一转，一道飓风凭空而起，将林轩的本命法宝包裹在了其间。
While the King Whale excelled in physical cultivation, he wasn't without any treasures. With his status and strength, acquiring some high-grade ancient artifacts was effortless for him.
jù jīng wáng jīng shàn de suī rán shì liàn tǐ shù ， dàn bìng bù dài biǎo hún shēn shàng xià jiù yī jiàn fǎ bǎo yě wú ， yǐ tā de shēn fèn shí lì ， xiǎng yào shōu luó yī xiē pǐn zhì bù dī de gǔ bǎo ， bù guò shì jǔ shǒu zhī láo 。
巨鲸王精擅的虽然是炼体术，但并不代表浑身上下就一件法宝也无，以他的身份实力，想要收罗一些品质不低的古宝，不过是举手之劳。
As for the majestic sword energy, it was formed by dozens of sword beams converging. The King Whale didn't dare to underestimate it. He raised his right hand, lifting it above his head. No additional movements were seen as a strange spatial fluctuation appeared three feet in front. The earth's essence gathered, forming multiple shields.
zhì yú nà dào huī hóng jiàn qì ， nǎi shì yóu shù shí dào jiàn máng jù hé ér chéng dì ， jù jīng wáng dào yě bù gǎn tài guò xiǎo shì ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， wǎng tóu dǐng zhè me yī jǔ ， yě bú jiàn duō yú de dòng zuò ， qián fāng sān chǐ zhī chù ， guǐ yì de kōng jiān bō dòng fú xiàn ér chū ， tiān dì yuán qì jù hé ， yí miàn dùn pái chéng xíng le 。
至于那道恢宏剑气，乃是由数十道剑芒聚合而成地，巨鲸王倒也不敢太过小视，右手抬起，往头顶这么一举，也不见多余的动作，前方三尺之处，诡异的空间波动浮现而出，天地元气聚合，一面盾牌成型了。
Not just one.
bù …… bìng bù zhǐ yí miàn 。
不……并不止一面。
More shields emerged, enveloping him from all sides, layer upon layer with no gaps.
jǐn jiē zhe ， yòu yǒu gèng duō de dùn pái fú xiàn chū lái ， jiāng tā shàng xià zuǒ yòu wán quán bāo guǒ ， céng céng dié dié de ， sī háo fèng xì yě wú 。
紧接着，又有更多的盾牌浮现出来，将他上下左右完全包裹，层层叠叠的，丝毫缝隙也无。
Boom!
hōng ！
轰！
The sword beam descended fiercely. Where they met, spiritual light flared up, creating dazzling multicolored lights that made it hard to see anything.
nà dào jiàn guāng hěn hěn pī luò ， zhǐ jiàn xiāng jiē zhī chù ， líng máng dà qǐ ， wǔ yán liù sè de guāng huá yào yǎn duó mù ， ràng rén kàn dōu kàn bù qīng chǔ 。
那道剑光狠狠劈落，只见相接之处，灵芒大起，五颜六色的光华耀眼夺目，让人看都看不清楚。
However, these shields were far sturdier than expected.
rán ér què méi yǒu yòng tú 。
然而却没有用途。
Lin Xuan's attack didn't end there. Soon, the dragon formed from雷沙聚合 also arrived with a myriad of vicious attacks.
nà dùn pái yuǎn bǐ xiǎng xiàng de yào jiān yìng dé duō 。
那盾牌远比想象的要坚硬得多。
Roar!
bù guò ， lín xuān de gōng jī ， bìng bù zhǐ yú cǐ ， hěn kuài ， nà yóu tiān léi shā jù hé de jiāo lóng yě lì qì wàn dào de shā lái cǐ chù 。
不过，林轩的攻击，并不止于此，很快，那由天雷沙聚合的蛟龙也戾气万道的杀来此处。
The roar was deafening as the dragon's claws moved, creating countless shadowy claw images. Seeing no use, the dragon immediately wrapped itself around the shields like a snake.
páo xiāo shēng zhèn ěr yù lóng ， nà jiāo lóng lì zhuǎ lüè yī wǔ dòng ， wú shù zhǎo yǐng fú xiàn ér chū ， kàn kàn méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， jiāo lóng lì kè xiàng shé yī yàng de jiāng nà xiē dùn pái chán qǐ lái le 。
咆哮声震耳欲聋，那蛟龙利爪略一舞动，无数爪影浮现而出，看看没有用处，蛟龙立刻像蛇一样的将那些盾牌缠起来了。
Lin Xuan roared, and numerous crackling sounds echoed, combining to create an awe-inspiring spectacle. The giant sword beam continued its relentless attack, horizontally chopping and vertically slicing while the Old Demon Dragon's attacks followed closely.
“ pò ！”
“破！”
The sand dragon exploded!
lín xuān yī shēng bào hē ， jǐn jiē zhe ， jiù tīng jiàn wú shù chǎo dòu zi yì bān de mì jí bào liè shēng xiǎng qǐ ， huì jù zài yì qǐ ， wěi shí dòng rén xīn pò ， ér nà jù dà de jiàn guāng yě méi yǒu xián zhe ， dì yī jī suī rán méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， què yī jiù zī zī bù juàn de gōng jī ， héng kǎn shù pī ， tóng shí ， dú lóng lǎo zǔ de gōng shì ， yě jǐn suí ér zhì 。
林轩一声暴喝，紧接着，就听见无数炒豆子一般的密集爆裂声响起，汇聚在一起，委实动人心魄，而那巨大的剑光也没有闲着，第一击虽然没有用处，却依旧孜孜不倦的攻击，横砍竖劈，同时，毒龙老祖的攻势，也紧随而至。
A single grain of 雷沙的威力 in the eyes of a Cave玄 cultivator might be negligible, but when combined into a tower, it became incredibly powerful.
shā jiāo bào le ！
沙蛟爆了！
Although the King Whale was an intermediate cultivator, his ability to manipulate earth's essence far exceeded Lin Xuan. However, under such intense attacks, even he couldn't withstand them, and the shields shattered one by one in terrifying assaults.
yī lì tiān léi shā de wēi lì ， zài dòng xuán jí bié de yǎn lǐ ， huò xǔ bù zhí yī tí ， dàn jù shā chéng tǎ ， chéng qiān shàng wàn de dié jiā ， wēi lì jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
一粒天雷沙的威力，在洞玄级别的眼里，或许不值一提，但聚沙成塔，成千上万的叠加，威力就非同小可。
Lin Xuan felt elated. But before this joy could fully manifest, a warning sign suddenly reappeared behind him.
jù jīng wáng suī shì zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， cāo zòng tiān dì yuán qì de néng lì ， yuǎn fēi lín xuān kě bǐ ， dàn zài zhè yàng de kuáng měng gōng jī xià ， nà dùn pái yě chéng shòu bú zhù ， fēn fēn zài kě pà de gōng jī zhòng huà wèi le xū wú 。
巨鲸王虽是中期的修仙者，操纵天地元气的能力，远非林轩可比，但在这样的狂猛攻击下，那盾牌也承受不住，纷纷在可怕的攻击中化为了虚无。
Lin Xuan was shocked. It was too late to use Nine Heavens Microstep now. He turned his body at an almost imperceptible speed and found the King Whale standing just a few feet in front of him.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yī xǐ ， rán ér zhè ge biǎo qíng cái gāng gāng fú xiàn ér chū ， bèi hòu jǐng zhào jiù zhòu rán chóng shēng le 。
林轩心中一喜，然而这个表情才刚刚浮现而出，背后警兆就骤然重生了。
His face remained calm, but a hint of murderous intent appeared on his lips.
lín xuān dà jīng shī sè ， zhè shí hòu ， shī zhǎn jiǔ tiān wēi bù dōu lái bù jí le ， lín xuān yǐ ròu yǎn nán jiàn de sù dù zhuǎn guò shēn tǐ ， jiù fā xiàn jù jīng wáng chū xiàn zài le zì jǐ shēn qián zhàng xǔ zhī chù 。
林轩大惊失色，这时候，施展九天微步都来不及了，林轩以肉眼难见的速度转过身体，就发现巨鲸王出现在了自己身前丈许之处。
He raised his right hand and punched towards his own face.
liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng píng jìng yǐ jí ， rán ér zuǐ jiǎo biān què fú xiàn chū shā qì 。
脸上的表情平静以极，然而嘴角边却浮现出杀气。
Unlike the previous light punch, this one was accompanied by a loud noise.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī quán duì zhe zì jǐ de miàn kǒng dǎ le guò qù 。
右手抬起，一拳对着自己的面孔打了过去。
Crackling sounds filled the air as fierce winds surged. A fool could see how powerful this strike was.
yǔ gāng gāng nà qīng piāo piāo de yī jī bù tóng ， zhè yī quán chū shǒu de shēng shì xuān huá duó mù 。
与刚刚那轻飘飘的一击不同，这一拳出手的声势喧哗夺目。
There was no time to dodge; he had to take the hit.
pī lǐ pā lā de bào xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， kuáng fēng dà zuò ， lì zhī qì xuán suí zhī fú xiàn ér chū ， shǎ guā yě néng kàn chū zhè yī jī de wēi lì rú hé 。
噼里啪啦的爆响声传入耳朵，与此同时，狂风大做，力之气旋随之浮现而出，傻瓜也能看出这一击的威力如何。
Lin Xuan didn't want to clash with the King Whale head-on but had no time even for that now.
lái bù jí duǒ ， nà jiù zhǐ yǒu yìng jiē le 。
来不及躲，那就只有硬接了。
A trace of viciousness flashed across his face, and Lin Xuan punched forward as well.
lín xuān yě bù xiǎng yǔ jù jīng wáng yìng pèng ， dàn zhè shí hòu ， tā lián jì chū fǎ bǎo de shí jiān dōu méi yǒu 。
林轩也不想与巨鲸王硬碰，但这时候，他连祭出法宝的时间都没有。
From their movements, it seemed they were almost identical.
liǎn shàng lì sè yī shǎn ér guò ， lín xuān yě shì yī quán hěn hěn de xiàng qián huī chū 。
脸上厉色一闪而过，林轩也是一拳狠狠的向前挥出。
Far away, the Old Demon Dragon was drenched in cold sweat. Punching against the King Whale was tantamount to suicide.
cóng dòng zuò lái kàn ， yǔ jù jīng wáng dǎo shì xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
从动作来看，与巨鲸王倒是相差仿佛。
Who didn't know how powerful and resilient the King Whale's strength and body were? Even cultivators wouldn't dare do this.
yuǎn chù ， dú lóng lǎo zǔ què jīng chū yī shēng lěng hàn lái le ， yǔ jù jīng wáng duì quán ， zhè yàng zuò ， jiǎn zhí yǔ zhǎo sǐ sī háo qū bié yě wú 。
远处，毒龙老祖却惊出一声冷汗来了，与巨鲸王对拳，这样做，简直与找死丝毫区别也无。
The Old Demon Dragon was now trembling with fear. He wasn't truly concerned for Lin Xuan but knew that if he perished, his own fate would be equally grim.
shuí bù zhī dào jù jīng wáng de lì liàng yǔ shēn tǐ jiān rèn chéng dù ， hái yào shèng guò tóng jiē yāo zú ， jiù suàn shì xiū yāo zhě ， yě jué bù gǎn zhè me zuò 。
谁不知道巨鲸王的力量与身体坚韧程度，还要胜过同阶妖族，就算是修妖者，也绝不敢这么做。
However, at this moment, he had no time to act; his face turned pale.
dú lóng lǎo zǔ ， bù yóu de xīn jīng dǎn zhàn qǐ lái le ， tā dāng rán bú shì zhēn xīn wèi lín xuān kǎo lǜ ， ér shì rú jīn jìn hún shù shàng wèi jiě chú ， rú guǒ lín xuān yǔn luò ， zì jǐ de xià chǎng ， yě jué duì bēi cǎn dào jí chù 。
毒龙老祖，不由得心惊胆战起来了，他当然不是真心为林轩考虑，而是如今禁魂术尚未解除，如果林轩陨落，自己的下场，也绝对悲惨到极处。
Bang!
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā gēn běn jiù lái bù jí zuò shén me ， liǎn sè yī xià zi shà bái dào jí chù 。
然而此时此刻，他根本就来不及做什么，脸色一下子煞白到极处。
Though their fists didn't collide, the pressure formed a whirlwind in between. The next instant, the entire space seemed to shake violently. Blood splattered as Lin Xuan was like an arrow shot backward, colliding with the icy surface of the plain.
Chapter 1909: The True Clash
The Old Demon Dragon's heart tightened as he flashed through all his schemes in his mind. Before he could make a decision, he suddenly felt warmth at the center of his brow.
The old monster's face changed abruptly.
All expressions vanished completely, replaced by fear.
禁魂术!
His soul and spirit were still in Lin Xuan's hands; he could neither live nor die as easily as moving a single thought.
"Master, please calm down. I will act now."
The Old Demon Dragon's voice was filled with terror as he spoke. Just as the words left his mouth, the warmth at his brow dissipated.
However, the Old Demon Dragon knew that Lin Xuan was warning him. If he continued to dawdle, it would be a fatal outcome. The old monster dared not act so foolishly anymore.
A trace of viciousness flashed across his face as he raised his small hand and struck his head with force. A "pop" echoed in the air, and an object shot out from his mouth.

Immediately, a buzzing sound filled the air as layers of spiritual light enveloped the fan. It then moved forward, releasing a strange wind.
The wind was white, causing sand and stones to fly everywhere. More astonishingly, at the very front of it, rings of light pulsed, transforming into the head of a monstrous creature with an open maw, spewing out a blazing white light column...

The sand dragon exploded!

Lin Xuan didn't want to clash with the King Whale head-on but had no time even for that now.
A trace of viciousness flashed across his face, and Lin Xuan punched forward as well.
From their movements, it seemed they were almost identical.
Far away, the Old Demon Dragon was drenched in cold sweat. Punching against the King Whale was tantamount to suicide.
Who didn't know how powerful and resilient the King Whale's strength and body were? Even cultivators wouldn't dare do this.
The Old Demon Dragon was now trembling with fear. He wasn't truly concerned for Lin Xuan but knew that if he perished, his own fate would be equally grim.
However, at this moment, he had no time to act; his face turned pale.
Bang!
Though their fists didn't collide, the pressure formed a whirlwind in between. The next instant, the entire space seemed to shake violently. Blood splattered as Lin Xuan was like an arrow shot backward, colliding with the icy surface of the plain.
