suí hòu wēng míng shēng dà zuò ， nà bái guāng huà wèi le yí gè xuán wō ， yī duǒ xuè hóng sè de chóng yún cóng lǐ miàn fēi chū lái le ， biàn bù lín xuān tóu dǐng zhī shàng ， zú yǒu shù mǔ zhī guǎng ， kàn shàng qù ， shēng shì hài rén yǐ jí 。
随后嗡鸣声大做，那白光化为了一个漩涡，一朵血红色的虫云从里面飞出来了，遍布林轩头顶之上，足有数亩之广，看上去，声势骇人以极。
The buzzing grew louder, and the white light transformed into a vortex. A crimson insect cloud emerged from within, spreading over Lin Xuan's head, covering several acres of space. The sight was terrifying.
jù jīng wáng de méi tóu ， bù yóu de wēi wēi zhòu qǐ ， mù guāng sǎo guò ， xiàn nà chóng yún suī pū tiān gài dì ， shí zé shì yóu yī zhī zhǐ zhǐ jiǎ gài dà xiǎo de fēi chóng zǔ chéng dì 。
巨鲸王的眉头，不由得微微皱起，目光扫过，现那虫云虽铺天盖地，实则是由一只只指甲盖大小的飞虫组成地。
The Great Whale King's brow furrowed slightly as he scanned the scene. The insect cloud seemed to cover everything, but it was actually composed of tiny insects no bigger than fingernails.
“ zhè shì …“”， duì yú qū chóng shù tā bìng bù shú ， bù guò rú cǐ shù liàng de fēi chóng ， zhe shí yǒu xiē hài rén le 。
“这是…“”，对于驱虫术他并不熟，不过如此数量的飞虫，着实有些骇人了。
"This is...," Lin Xuan wasn't familiar with theworm expulsion technique (Drive Insect Technique), but such a large number of insects was indeed daunting.
hòu zhì rén sì hū bìng bú shì yí gè míng zhì xuǎn zé ， jù sū wáng zhèng yù yǒu suǒ dòng zuò ， rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， lín xuān de biǎo qíng ， què mò míng qí miào de biàn dé gǔ guài qǐ lái le 。
后制人似乎并不是一个明智选择，巨稣王正yù有所动作，然而就在此刻，林轩的表情，却莫名其妙的变得古怪起来了。
The post-processor seemed like an unwise choice. The Great Whale King was about to make a move, but at this moment, Lin Xuan's expression became strangely odd.
jù jīng wáng yī è ， nán dào zhè xiǎo jiā huo ， yòu yù shuǎ shén me zhāo me ， tā lüè yī chí yí ， yòu tíng xià le zhǔn bèi zuò chū de gōng jī 。
巨鲸王一愕，难道这小家伙，又yù耍什么招么，他略一迟疑，又停下了准备做出的攻击。
The Great Whale King was taken aback; could the little guy be planning another trick? He hesitated for a moment and stopped his intended attack.
ér lìng yī cè ， lín xuān de biǎo qíng què gǔ guài wú bǐ ， tōng guò shén shí de lián xì ， tā xiàn yù、 luó fēng bào zào yǐ jí ， sì hū zhèng shí fēn jí qiè de xiàng zì jǐ chuán dá zhe mǒu gè xiāo xī 。
而另一侧，林轩的表情却古怪无比，通过神识的联系，他现yù、罗蜂暴躁以极，似乎正十分急切的像自己传达着某个消息。
On the other side, Lin Xuan's face was unusually strange. Through their mental connection, he sensed that Yu Ro-Feng was extremely agitated, desperately trying to convey some message.
rán ér lín xuān sì yǎng de líng chóng ， suī rán yǐ jīng rèn zhǔ ， kě néng gòu zuò de ， yě jǐn jǐn shì zhǐ huī xī men yù dí ， xiǎng yào gōu tōng bìng bù róng yì 。
然而林轩饲养的灵虫，虽然已经认主，可能够做的，也仅仅是指挥牺们御敌，想要沟通并不容易。
However, while Lin Xuan's spirit insects had already recognized him, they could only command them to defend; communicating was not easy.
bù guò lín xuān kě shì hěn cōng míng de ， nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， yǐ yǐn yuē xiǎng dào yī zhǒng kě néng xìng le 。
不过林轩可是很聪明的，脑海中念头转过，已隐约想到一种可能xìng了。
But Lin Xuan was very smart. His mind raced as he vaguely thought of a possible solution: the insects were showing interest in the crystal vein before them.
dào xī men shì duì yǎn qián de jīng shí kuàng mài chǎn shēng le kě wàng yǔ xìng qù 。
道牺们是对眼前的晶石矿脉产生了渴望与兴趣。
He wasn't sure if this was true, but such speculation was worth trying.
shì bú shì lín xuān bù xiǎo de ， bù guò zhè zhǒng tuī cè jué duì zhí de yī shì de 。
是不是林轩不晓得，不过这种推测绝对值得一试的。
The saying "one leaf knows autumn" applied to everyone. After the series of events, Lin Xuan had a clear understanding of the Great Whale King's strength. Despite not being at a significant disadvantage, he used both wisdom and power in battle.
yī yè zhī qiū de dào lǐ dà jiā dōu xiǎo de ， jīng guò gāng gāng de yī xì liè j shǒu ， duì yú jù jīng wáng de shí lì ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， bié kàn zì jǐ sì hū méi yǒu chǔ yú duō dà de xià fēng ， nà shì yīn wèi zhàn dòu de shí hòu zhì huì yǔ lì liàng bìng yòng 。
一叶知秋的道理大家都晓得，经过刚刚的一系列j手，对于巨鲸王的实力，林轩心中有数，别看自己似乎没有处于多大的下风，那是因为战斗的时候智慧与力量并用。
In truth, his chances of winning were virtually nil, but that was something Lin Xuan knew better than anyone else. He was just stubbornly holding on to what he had.
píng xīn lái shuō ， qǔ shèng de jī huì zhe shí miǎo máng dào jí chù ， zhè yì diǎn ， lín xuān bǐ shéi dōu qīng chǔ ” zhǐ bù guò zhòng bǎo dāng qián ， tā shí zài bù shě ” shuō jù bù hǎo tīng de ， jiǎng tā xiàn zài shì zài sǐ chēng yě bù wèi guò 。
平心来说，取胜的机会着实渺茫到极处，这一点，林轩比谁都清楚”只不过重宝当前，他实在不舍”说句不好听的，讲他现在是在死撑也不为过。
Eventually, defeat might still be inevitable, and if he lost, the treasures would belong entirely to the Great Whale King.
dǎ dào hòu miàn ， yě xǔ hái shì miǎn bù liǎo luò bài yī tú ， ér yí dàn shū le ， bǎo wù yǔ zì jǐ dāng rán sī háo guān xì yě wú ” suǒ yǒu de jí pǐn jīng shí ， quán dōu yào luò rù jù jīng wáng de kǒu dài zhī zhōng 。
打到后面，也许还是免不了落败一途，而一旦输了，宝物与自己当然丝毫关系也无”所有的极品晶石，全都要落入巨鲸王的口袋之中。
This outcome was something Lin Xuan could never accept. But with enough strength, perhaps things could change.
zhè zhǒng jié guǒ ， dāng rán shì lín xuān wàn wàn yě bù yuàn yì kàn dào de ， rán ér xiǎng yào niǔ zhuǎn qián kūn ， shí lì wèi shǐ bù zú 。
这种结果，当然是林轩万万也不愿意看到的，然而想要扭转乾坤，实力未始不足。
What should he do?
gāi jí me bàn ne ？
该集么办呢？
Lin Xuan pondered deeply until a solution seemed to present itself before him.
lín xuān yì zhí fán nǎo dào jí chù ， ér yǎn qián ， sì hū wèi zì jǐ tí gōng le yí gè jiě jué de tú jìng le 。
林轩一直烦恼到极处，而眼前，似乎为自己提供了一个解决的途径了。
Indeed, there was always a way out of any situation!
zhēn shì tiān wú jué rén zhī lù ！
真是天无绝人之路！
With various thoughts racing through his mind, Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves and shot several more spells at the Ten Thousand Souls Pagoda.
nǎo hǎi zhōng zhū bān niàn tou shǎn guò ， lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yòu shì jǐ dào fǎ jué 〖 jī 〗 shè ér chū 。
脑海中诸般念头闪过，林轩袖袍一拂，又是几道法诀〖激〗射而出。
The sounds were clear as they struck the pagoda's surface almost simultaneously.
jī hū bù fēn xiān hòu zhì xù ， tóng shí dǎ zài wàn hún tǎ biǎo miàn le 。
几乎不分先后秩序，同时打在万魂塔表面了。
The white light became even brighter. Another insect cloud emerged from within, this one purplish-red in color and much smaller than before. The Great Whale King could see that these insects, aside from their spots, resembled bees.
pū pū pū ……
噗噗噗……
Of course, their size was incomparable; each was about the size of an infant's fist.
nà shēng yīn qīng xī dào jí chù 。
那声音清晰到极处。
The Great Whale King's face darkened further. This kid’s tricks were endless. The spirit insects he had raised weren't just one type.
suí hòu bái guāng biàn dé gèng jiā de yào yǎn cì mù ， yòu yī duǒ chóng yún cóng lǐ miàn fēi lüè ér chū 。
随后白光变得更加的耀眼刺目，又一朵虫云从里面飞掠而出。
He couldn’t hesitate any longer and must act quickly. With a punch forward, he unleashed his power.
zhè yī cì ， chóng yún chéng xiàn zǐ hóng sè ， guī mó míng xiǎn yě yào xiǎo dé duō ， jù jīng wáng kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， cǐ chóng chú le biǎo miàn wén bān bó ， yǔ mì fēng jī hū shì yī yàng de 。
这一次，虫云呈现紫红色，规模明显也要小得多，巨鲸王看得清清楚楚，此虫除了表面玟斑驳，与蜜蜂几乎是一样的。
Spirit energy surged, creating a vortex in his vision. Surrounding elemental qi rushed into the vortex as it merged with the fist, heading towards Lin Xuan.
dāng rán ” tǐ xíng bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ ， yǎn qián de měi yī zhī ， dōu yǔ yīng ér quán tou dà xiǎo xiāng sì 。
当然”体型不可同日而语，眼前的每一只，都与婴儿拳头大小相似。
Before reaching him, the air around them suddenly became thick and stagnant.
jù jīng wáng de liǎn sè ， yuè de nán kàn le ， zhè xiǎo zi de shǒu duàn ， zěn me céng chū bù qióng ， sì yǎng de mó chóng ” jū rán hái bù jǐn jǐn shì yī zhǒng 。
巨鲸王的脸色，越的难看了，这小子的手段，怎么层出不穷，饲养的魔虫”居然还不仅仅是一种。
Lin Xuan's face turned grim, but he didn’t show any signs of panic. He pointed at the blood fire ants above his head.
bù néng yóu yù ， bì xū jǐn kuài chū shǒu ， xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， tā yī quán xiàng qián dǎ le guò qù 。
不能犹豫，必须尽快出手，想到这里，他一拳向前打了过去。
The buzzing grew louder as the insects circled before transforming into a massive crimson cloud, rushing towards the fist and vortex.
líng lì fān yǒng ， yí gè xuán wō chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn zhōng 。
灵力翻涌，一个漩涡出现在了视线中。
Soon, they collided. A small group of blood fire ants was reduced to dust.
zhōu wéi de tiān dì yuán qì ” rú tóng zhǎo dào le yí gè xuān xiè kǒu ， fēng yōng ér rù ， suí hòu quán fēng yǔ nà xuán wō hùn wèi yī gǔ ” cháo zhe qián miàn dǎ guò qù le 。
周围的天地元气”如同找到了一个宣泄口，蜂拥而入，随后拳风与那漩涡混为一股”朝着前面打过去了。
A look of surprise appeared on the Great Whale King's face.
shàng wèi zhì ， zhōu wéi de kōng qì ” jiù zhòu rán biàn dé níng zhì qǐ lái le 。
尚未至，周围的空气”就骤然变得凝滞起来了。
These spirit insects were so fragile; what use could he have for them?
lín xuān de liǎn sè ， dùn shí biàn dé nán kàn yǐ jí ， dàn bìng méi yǒu chū xiàn huāng 1 zhī sè ， ér shì yī zhǐ xiàng zhe tóu dǐng de xuè huǒ yǐ diǎn qù le 。
林轩的脸色，顿时变得难看以极，但并没有出现慌1之色，而是一指向着头顶的血火蚁点去了。
For ordinary Separation Stage cultivators, such a situation would not be surprising, but Lin Xuan had already demonstrated his strength and abilities, making him seem like an equal. The spirit insects this kid released couldn't be useless.
dùn shí ， wēng míng shēng dà zuò ， lüè yī pán xuán fēi wǔ ， jiù huà wèi jù dà de xuè sè 1， xiàng zhe quán fēng yǔ xuán wō yíng guò qù le 。
顿时，嗡鸣声大做，略一盘旋飞舞，就化为巨大的血色1，向着拳风与漩涡迎过去了。
Was there some hidden plot?
hěn kuài ， liǎng zhě zhuàng jī zài yì qǐ ， zuì qián miàn de yī xiǎo cuō xuè huǒ yǐ bèi jiǎo wèi le fěn mò 。
很快，两者撞击在一起，最前面的一小撮血火蚁被剿为了粉末。
Before the thought fully formed, a loud explosion echoed in his ears, accompanied by intense rage. The sound was deafening.
jù jīng wáng liǎn shàng liú lù chū yī sī yà sè 。
巨鲸王脸上流露出一丝讶色。
The blood fire ants, though individually weak, were fearless and had a unique self-destruct ability. As they said, one must risk everything to bring down an emperor. The explosion from their self-destruction was formidable, especially with hundreds or even thousands of them detonating simultaneously. Even a Golden Core veteran would have to temporarily avoid the attack.
zhè xiē mó chóng jū rán rú cǐ de ruò bù jīn fēng ， ná lái yǒu shén me yòng ？
这些魔虫居然如此的弱不禁风，拿来有什么用？
Sure enough, despite his powerful punch, the Great Whale King's fist was dispersed by the explosions of thousands of blood fire ants.
rú guǒ shì pǔ tōng de lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， zhè yàng qíng kuàng dào yě méi yǒu shén me lìng rén chà yì zhī chù ， rán ér tā yǐ lǐng jiào guò lín xuān de shí lì yǔ shén tōng ， wán quán jiāng tā dàng chéng le tóng yī jí bié de xiū xiān zhě 。
如果是普通的离合期修仙者，这样情况倒也没有什么令人诧异之处，然而他已领教过林轩的实力与神通，完全将他当成了同一级别的修仙者。
Seizing this opportunity, Lin Xuan didn't waste any time. He raised his hand and summoned the Magic Bond Sword. Facing an old monster at Golden Core middle stage, he couldn’t afford to hold back; he had to use his divine treasure.
zhè xiǎo zi de jì chū de mó chóng ， bù kě néng nà me méi yòng 。
这小子的祭出的魔虫，不可能那么没用。
On the other side, Yu Ro-Feng didn't need to be driven; it buzzed away and flew towards a distant mountain range, burrowing into the ice layer as if it were nothing.
nán dào shì yǒu shén me yīn móu ？
难道是有什么阴谋？
The Great Whale King was stunned. What did the opponent want?
zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， bào liè shēng jiù yǐ jīng zhuàn rù le ěr duǒ ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de hái yǒu lì qì ， fēng kuáng wú bǐ ， nà jù xiǎng shēng chēng dé shàng shì zhèn tiān dòng dì 。
这个念头尚未转过，爆裂声就已经传入了耳朵，与之伴随的还有戾气，疯狂无比，那巨响声称得上是震天动地。
But regardless of the truth, he wouldn’t let him succeed. He raised his right hand and prepared to punch forward when a majestic sword aura appeared in his vision. Though not reaching heaven or earth, it was over ten dozen feet long and descended upon him.
xuè huǒ yǐ dān tǐ shí lì bìng bù rú hé ， dàn què hàn bù wèi sǐ ， yóu qí hái yǒu zì bào zhè yī dú mén mì jì ， sú huà shuō ， shě de yī shēn guǎ ， gǎn bǎ huáng dì lā xià mǎ ， xuè huǒ yǐ zì bào ， nà wēi lì kě jiù fēi xiǎo ， hé kuàng hái bú shì yī zhī liǎng zhǐ ， ér shì chéng bǎi shàng qiān ， shèn zhì shàng wàn de bào ， jiù suàn shì d xuán qī lǎo guài wù ， yě yào zàn bì fēng máng 。
血火蚁单体实力并不如何，但却悍不畏死，尤其还有自爆这一独门秘技，俗话说，舍得一身剐，敢把皇帝拉下马，血火蚁自爆，那威力可就非小，何况还不是一只两只，而是成百上千，甚至上万的爆，就算是d玄期老怪物，也要暂避锋芒。
This sword aura was not only imposing but also had countless light halos pulsating on its surface, with runes flickering. It was incredibly mysterious.
guǒ rán ， jù jīng wáng nà yī quán ， suī rán yùn wèi ér shí zú ， wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， què yě bèi shù qiān xuè huǒ yǐ de zì bào gěi zhèn sàn diào le 。
果然，巨鲸王那一拳，虽然韵味儿十足，威力非同小可，却也被数千血火蚁的自爆给震散掉了。
"This... is a divine treasure!"
ér dé dào zhè ge kòng xì ， lín xuān bìng méi yǒu xián zhe ， tái shǒu yǐ jiāng mó yuán jiàn jì chū ， miàn duì d xuán zhōng qī de lǎo guài wù ， tā kě bù gǎn cáng zhuō ， tōng tiān líng bǎo ， nà shì kěn dìng yào yòng de 。
而得到这个空隙，林轩并没有闲着，抬手已将魔缘剑祭出，面对d玄中期的老怪物，他可不敢藏拙，通天灵宝，那是肯定要用的。
The Great Whale King's experience was vast; in his shock, he immediately recognized the item Lin Xuan held. With such a sword aura driven by a divine treasure, it far surpassed what he had seen earlier.
ér lìng yī cè ，yù luó fēng zé gēn běn bù yòng qū shǐ ， yǐ wēng de yī shēng shǎn kāi ， pū xiàng le bù yuǎn zhī chù ， mián yán qǐ fú de qún shān ， yí gè gè shì biǎo miàn de bīng céng wèi wú wù ， jìng xiāng zuān jìn qù le 。
而另一侧，yù罗蜂则根本不用驱使，已嗡的一声闪开，扑向了不远之处，绵延起伏的群山，一个个视表面的冰层为无物，竞相钻进去了。
It would be foolish to directly confront it. He moved swiftly and vanished from sight. This old man wasn't just brave but also very agile. He was skilled in water escape techniques, capable of both offense and retreat. His movement covered over a hundred feet, but Lin Xuan had already spotted him.
jù jīng wáng kàn dé chēng mù jié shé ， duì fāng jiū jìng xiǎng yào zuò shén me ？
巨鲸王看得瞠目结舌，对方究竟想要做什么？
The reason? The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye!
dàn bù guǎn zhēn xiàng shì shén me ， tā dōu jué bú huì ràng duì fāng rú yì ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， zhèng yù yī quán dǎ guò qù ， yǎn lián zhōng què chū xiàn le yī dào huī hóng de jiàn qì ， suī tán bù shàng lián tiān jiē dì ， dàn zhǎng yě shù shí zhàng yǒu yú ， xiàng zhe tā dāng tóu pī le guò qù 。
但不管真相是什么，他都绝不会让对方如意，右手抬起，正yù一拳打过去，眼帘中却出现了一道恢宏的剑气，虽谈不上连天接地，但长也数十丈有余，向着他当头劈了过去。
Lin Xuan's various secret arts were formidable, vast, and complex. No matter what happened, he could handle it effectively.
cǐ jiàn qì bù jǐn shēng shì hào dà ， biǎo miàn hái yǒu wú shù quán tou dà xiǎo de guāng yùn tūn tǔ ， fú wén shǎn shuò ， yī kàn jiù shén miào dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
此剑气不仅声势浩大，表面还有无数拳头大小的光晕吞吐，符文闪烁，一看就神妙到无以复加的地步。
A spell was cast, and the divine treasure’s staff transformed into a dragon, roaring as it rushed towards the Great Whale King with lightning speed.
“ zhè ……“…… tōng tiān líng bǎo ！”
“这……“……通天灵宝！”
The timing was perfect; there was no way to dodge. The Great Whale King's face turned pale as primitive energy burst from his body.
jù jīng wáng jiàn shí hé děng fēng fù ， dà jīng zhī xià ， yī yǎn jiù kàn chū le lín xuān shǒu zhōng de bǎo wù shì shén me ， tóng shì jiàn qì ， yóu tōng tiān líng bǎo qū shǐ ， zì rán yuǎn fēi lín xuān gāng cái suí shǒu huī chū de kě bǐ 。
巨鲸王见识何等丰富，大惊之下，一眼就看出了林轩手中的宝物是什么，同是剑气，由通天灵宝驱使，自然远非林轩刚才随手挥出的可比。
Boom!
yìng jiē shì hěn bù míng zhì dì ， tā shēn xíng shǎn dòng ， yǐ cóng yuán dì xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng ， zhè lǎo jiā huǒ ， bù jǐn yǒng měng ， ér qiě fēi cháng de líng huó ， běn shēn yě shàn cháng shuǐ dùn shù ， jìn kě gōng ， tuì kě ěr zhè yī nuó yí ， jiù shì bǎi yú zhàng de jù lí ， rán ér xíng zōng yǐ bèi lín xuān kàn pò 。
硬接是很不明智地，他身形闪动，已从原地消失得无影无踪，这老家伙，不仅勇猛，而且非常的灵活，本身也擅长水遁术，进可攻，退可尔这一挪移，就是百余丈的距离，然而行踪已被林轩看破。
A terrifying aura surged out from him, centered on him.
The buzzing grew louder, and the white light transformed into a vortex. A crimson insect cloud emerged from within, spreading over Lin Xuan's head, covering several acres of space. The sight was terrifying.
The Great Whale King's brow furrowed slightly as he scanned the scene. The insect cloud seemed to cover everything, but it was actually composed of tiny insects no bigger than fingernails.
