bīng céng duàn liè , suì xiè mǎn tiān fēi wǔ , rǔ bái wēi de wù qì suí zhī mí màn ér chū 。
冰层断裂,碎屑满天飞舞,乳白危的雾气随之弥漫而出。
The ice layer cracked, sending shards flying everywhere. A thick white mist emerged from the fissure.
yí gè shēn bú jiàn dǐ de dà dòng , chū xiàn zài shì xiàn zhōng 。
一个深不见底的大洞,出现在视线中。
A deep, bottomless hole appeared in Lin Xuan's line of sight.
jù dà de hǒu shēng suí zhī chuán chū , zhèn ěr yù lóng , dòng rén xīn pò 。
巨大的吼声随之传出,震耳欲聋,动人心魄。
A deafening roar echoed, shaking the very soul. Then a massive black shadow emerged from the underground cave.
suí hòu yī jù dà de hēi yǐng cóng nà dì dǐ dòng xué zhōng fú xiàn ér chū 。
随后一巨大的黑影从那地底洞穴中浮现而出。
Along with it came an intense spiritual pressure that made Lin Xuan feel slightly shaken. He wanted to flee but felt as if he was trapped.
yǔ zhī bàn suí de shì líng yā , fēng kuáng yǐ jí , lín xuān dōu gǎn jué dào yǒu xiē zhàn lì 。
与之伴随的是灵压,疯狂以极,林轩都感觉到有些战栗。
The Giant Whale King reacted similarly, staring intently at the creature in the mist. It was a toad-like creature, over thirty zhang long, almost completely transparent with faintly swirling light around it.
xiǎng táo , rán ér què fǎng fú bèi shén me gěi suǒ dìng le 。
想逃,然而却仿佛被什么给锁定了。
"This..."
jù jīng wáng de fǎn yìng yě chà bu duō , sǐ sǐ de dīng zhe nà mí wù zhōng de shēng wù 。 shì yī tóu chán chú , huò zhě shuō zhǎng dé xiàng chán chú yī yàng de shēng wù , shēn tǐ de cháng dù , zú zú chāo guò le sān shí zhàng yǒu yú , hún shēn shàng xià jī hū shì tòu míng dì , yǐn yǐn hái yǒu qí guāng niǔ zhuǎn bù yǐ 。
巨鲸王的反应也差不多,死死的盯着那迷雾中的生物。是一头蟾蜍,或者说长得像蟾蜍一样的生物,身体的长度,足足超过了三十丈有余,浑身上下几乎是透明地,隐隐还有奇光扭转不已。
Lin Xuan remained calm, but the Giant Whale King's face turned pale: "Ice Demon Heart Toad? Impossible! How could such a creature be trapped here?"
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
The voice of the Sea Tribe’s first hero trembled as he revealed his fear.
lín xuān hái méi yǒu shén me , jù jīng wáng de liǎn sè , yǐ yīn mái dé nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ xíng róng le :“ bīng mó xīn chán , bù kě néng , cǐ chù , zěn me huì 〖 zhèn 〗 yā dé yǒu zhè yàng de shēng wù 。
林轩还没有什么,巨鲸王的脸色,已阴霾得难以用言语形容了:“冰魔心蟾,不可能,此处,怎么会〖镇〗压得有这样的生物。
"Friend, do you recognize this beast?" Lin Xuan's cold voice echoed.
hǎi zú dì yī yǒng shì hǎo shēng yīn yǒu xiē chàn dǒu , háo wú yǎn shì de lù chū le wèi jù zhī sè 。
海族第一勇士好声音有些颤抖,毫无掩饰的露出了畏惧之色。
There are no eternal enemies; only interests to consider. Whether they would clash depended on the situation. As the giant toad appeared, both Lin Xuan and the Giant Whale King shifted their attention.
“ zěn me , dào yǒu rèn shí zhè yāo shòu me ?”
“怎么,道友认识这妖兽么?”
Their previous encounter seemed like a mere cloud.
lín xuān lěng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。 méi yǒu yǒng héng de dí rén , zhǐ kàn shuāng fāng de lì yì 。 huì bú huì fā shēng jiū gé chōng tū , suí zhe zhè dà chán chú fú xiàn ér chū , lín xuān yǔ jù jīng wáng de zhù yì lì , bù yóu de dōu suí zhī zhuǎn yí 。
林轩冷冷的声音传入耳朵。没有永恒的敌人,只看双方的利益。会不会发生纠葛冲突,随着这大蟾蜍浮现而出,林轩与巨鲸王的注意力,不由得都随之转移。
Lin Xuan believed that the Giant Whale King would make the right choice as he was undoubtedly not a short-sighted ruler.
gāng gāng de jiāo shǒu , fǎng fú zhǐ bù guò shì fú yún ér yǐ 。
刚刚的交手,仿佛只不过是浮云而已。
And indeed, the Giant Whale King did not disappoint.
lín xuān xiāng xìn , jù jīng wáng huì zuò chū zhèng què de xuǎn zé , bì jìng zuò wéi yī zú zhī wáng , kěn dìng bú huì shì mù guāng duǎn qiǎn de rén wù 。
林轩相信,巨鲸王会做出正确的选择,毕竟作为一族之王,肯定不会是目光短浅的人物。
"Beast, hmpf. You underestimate it too much," the Giant Whale King's cold voice entered Lin Xuan’s ears. "What? Not a beast?"
ér jù jīng wáng , yě guǒ rán méi yǒu ràng lín xuān shī wàng 。
而巨鲸王,也果然没有让林轩失望。
Could it be a true spirit at the first level? Lin Xuan was genuinely shocked.
“ yāo shòu , hēng , dào yǒu yě tài xiǎo kàn tā le , zhè bīng mó xīn chán , kě yǐ jīng bù zài wèi yú yāo shòu de fàn chóu 。” jù jīng wáng lěng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“妖兽,哼,道友也太小看他了,这冰魔心蟾,可已经不再位于妖兽的范畴。”巨鲸王冷笑的声音传入耳朵。
True spirits were beyond his current capabilities and even more so in combat. A simple wave of its claws or breath could annihilate him instantly.
“ shén me , bú shì yāo shòu ” nán bù chéng pāo hái shì zhēn líng yī jí de jiā huo ?” lín xuān shì zhēn de zhèn jīng le 。
“什么,不是妖兽”难不成抛还是真灵一级的家伙?”林轩是真的震惊了。
"Of course, not a true spirit," the Giant Whale King sighed. "But it’s no better. It is an offspring of a true spirit with a trace of Golden Jade True Toad blood."
zhēn líng , kě bú shì xiàn zài shuǐ zhǔn de zì jǐ néng gòu jiē chù 。 gèng bú yào shuō duì kàng shén me 。 duì fāng suí biàn huī huī zhuǎ zi , huò zhě chuī kǒu qì jiù néng gòu ràng zì jǐ huī fēi yān miè diào le 。
真灵,可不是现在水准的自己能够接触。更不要说对抗什么。对方随便挥挥爪子,或者吹口气就能够让自己灰飞烟灭掉了。
"Golden Jade True Toad?"
“ zì rán bú shì zhēn líng 。” jù jīng wáng tàn le kǒu qì :“ bù guò yě hǎo bú dào nǎ lǐ ” xī suàn shì zhēn líng de hòu yì , shēn shàng shì yǒu nà me yī sī jīn yuè zhēn chán xuè mài dì 。”
“自然不是真灵。”巨鲸王叹了口气:“不过也好不到哪里”牺算是真灵的后裔,身上是有那么一丝金玥真蟾血脉地。”
Lin Xuan was taken aback. He knew this existence; as a cultivator, he had imitated the power of the Golden Ming True Toad. In terms of true spirits, the Golden Jade True Toad ranked among the bottom, but as they say, a skinny donkey is still bigger than a horse. Even at the bottom, it was considered a true spirit.
“ jīn yuè zhēn chán ?”
“金玥真蟾?”
Fortunately, what faced them was merely an offspring and not the actual Golden Jade True Toad.
lín xuān yī è ” zhè ge cún zài tā hái zhēn xiǎo de , jīn yì zuò wéi xiū yāo zhě , mó fǎng de jiù shì jīn míng zhēn chán de shén tōng , píng xīn lái shuō 。 zài zhēn líng lǐ , jīn yuè zhēn chán yǐ shì pái míng dào shǔ , bù guò sú huà shuō 。 shòu sǐ de cān zhù bǐ mǎ dà 。 zài dào shǔ , yě shǔ yú zhēn líng de fàn chóu 。
林轩一愕”这个存在他还真晓得,金义作为修妖者,模仿的就是金明真蟾的神通,平心来说。在真灵里,金玥真蟾已是排名倒数,不过俗话说。瘦死的骖驻比马大。再倒数,也属于真灵的范畴。
True spirit descendants were far beyond ordinary beasts; even the Heavenly Spirit Tribes would be inferior to them.
hǎo zài yǎn qián de , jǐn jǐn shì xī hòu yì , bìng fēi jīn yuè zhēn chán běn tǐ 。
好在眼前的,仅仅是牺后裔,并非金玥真蟾本体。
However, this wasn’t entirely accurate as true spirit descendants varied in strength. Their abilities differed based on how much of their true spirit bloodline they inherited.
ér zhēn líng hòu yì zhè yàng de cún zài , lín xuān zì rán xiǎo de 。 yě duō kuī tā xǐ huān bó lǎn qún shū , cóng diǎn jí shàng kàn dào guò jì zǎi de 。
而真灵后裔这样的存在,林轩自然晓得。也多亏他喜欢博览群书,从典籍上看到过记载的。
Those who inherited more were naturally stronger, while those with less were generally weaker, though there were exceptions where some offspring underwent mutations due to certain reasons, similar to cultivators with abnormal spiritual roots.
zuò wéi zhēn líng hòu yì , dāng rán yuǎn fēi yì bān de yāo zú kě bǐ ” shèn zhì shì tiān dì líng zú zài tā men miàn qián , dōu míng xiǎn shì yuǎn yuǎn bù jí 。
作为真灵后裔,当然远非一般的妖族可比”甚至是天地灵族在他们面前,都明显是远远不及。
Such true spirit descendants, despite inheriting little, could still possess astonishing abilities. In any case, one had to analyze each situation individually as it was hard to predict without seeing it firsthand.
bù guò zhè yàng shuō , yě bú shì fēi cháng de zhǔn què , jǐn jǐn shì yí gè gài kuàng ér yǐ , zhēn líng hòu yì qí shí yě shì yǒu qiáng yǒu ruò , néng lì dà xiǎo bìng bù xiāng tóng de 。
不过这样说,也不是非常的准确,仅仅是一个概况而已,真灵后裔其实也是有强有弱,能力大小并不相同的。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan spoke: "Do you know the strength of this Ice Demon Heart Toad?"
zhè yào kàn , xī men jì chéng zhēn líng xuè mài de qíng kuàng rú hé 。
这要看,牺们继承真灵血脉的情况如何。
Before his words were finished, he suddenly sensed something and stepped to the left, vanishing from sight with a flash of spiritual light.
jì chéng dé duō 。 zì rán yě jiù yuè qiáng , jì chéng dé shǎo 。 yì bān lái shuō , xiāng duì jiù huì jiào ruò , dàn yě yǒu lì wài qíng kuàng 。 yǒu de hòu yì , suī rán méi yǒu jì chéng tài duō de zhēn líng xuè tǒng , dàn què yīn wèi mǒu xiē yuán gù ” fā shēng le biàn yì , dǎ yí gè lèi bǐ ” yǔ xiū xiān zhě yì líng gēn de qíng kuàng pǒ wèi xiāng sì 。
继承得多。自然也就越强,继承得少。一般来说,相对就会较弱,但也有例外情况。有的后裔,虽然没有继承太多的真灵血统,但却因为某些缘故”发生了变异,打一个类比”与修仙者异灵根的情况颇为相似。
It had to be Nine Heaven Micro Step.
zhè yàng de zhēn líng hòu yì , suī rán jì chéng de xuè mài bù duō 。 dàn shén tōng yě yǒu kě néng lìng rén chēng mù jié shé , zǒng zhī jù tǐ qíng kuàng jù tǐ fēn xī 。 yǒu shí hòu bù qīn yǎn mù dǔ , zhēn de hěn nán shuō 。
这样的真灵后裔,虽然继承的血脉不多。但神通也有可能令人瞠目结舌,总之具体情况具体分析。有时候不亲眼目睹,真的很难说。
As a spatial technique, it was incredibly useful for evading enemy attacks.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò , lín xuān kāi kǒu le :“ nà dào yǒu kě zhī dào , zhè bīng mó xīn chán de shí lì jiū jìng rú hé ?”
脑海中念头转过,林轩开口了:“那道友可知道,这冰魔心蟾的实力究竟如何?”
---
lín xuān huà yīn wèi luò , tū rán xiàng shì chá jué dào shén me , xiàng zuǒ kuà chū yī bù , dùn shí , líng máng shǎn dòng , tā yǐ cóng yuán dì xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
林轩话音未落,突然像是察觉到什么,像左跨出一步,顿时,灵芒闪动,他已从原地消失得无影无踪。
The Ice Demon Heart Toad extended its tongue, easily passing through the lingering shadow on the ground. Its movements were fluid and graceful like a toad hunting prey.
bú yòng shuō , jiǔ tiān wēi bù 。
不用说,九天微步。
On another side, the Giant Whale King grunted, mixed with explosions and roars. The old middle-stage Profound Knowledge expert seemed to have suffered some harm. Lin Xuan was alarmed; had he misunderstood? Did the Ice Demon Heart Toad attack both him and the Giant Whale King at the same time?
zuò wéi kōng jiān shén tōng , zài duǒ bì dí rén gōng jī de shí hòu 。 kě yǐ shuō , nà shì fēi cháng de yǒu yòng 。
作为空间神通,在躲避敌人攻击的时候。可以说,那是非常的有用。
He waved his sleeve, summoning the Mother-Child Shield. He didn’t seek glory but merely wanted to avoid trouble.
—…
—…
The seven shields arranged themselves like a fan, emitting spiritual light that formed a green curtain with a swirling Tai Chi symbol, exuding an aura of mystery.
bīng mó xīn chán tǔ chū le shé tou , jiāng tā liú zài yuán dì de cán yǐng , qīng yì de yī chuān ér guò 。 jiù rú tóng chán chú bǔ shí 。 dòng zuò xíng yún liú shuǐ dào jí chù 。 hǒu !
冰魔心蟾吐出了舌头,将他留在原地的残影,轻易的一穿而过。就如同蟾蜍捕食。动作行云流水到极处。吼!
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief as he turned his head to see the Giant Whale King entangled in the creature’s tongue.
lìng yī cè , què yǒu jù jīng wáng de mèn hēng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。 hái jiā zá zhe bào zhà yǔ dà hǒu 。 nà dòng xuán zhōng qī de lǎo jiā huǒ , sì hū jìng chī le shén me kǔ tóu , lín xuān dà jīng shī sè , yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò , zhè bīng mó xīn chán gōng jī zì jǐ de shí hòu , tóng shí yě xiàng jù jīng wáng chū shǒu ?
另一侧,却有巨鲸王的闷哼声传入耳朵。还夹杂着爆炸与大吼。那洞玄中期的老家伙,似乎竟吃了什么苦头,林轩大惊失色,有没有搞错,这冰魔心蟾攻击自己的时候,同时也像巨鲸王出手?
One of the Ice Demon Heart Toad's tongues had dodged Lin Xuan, but the other forced the Giant Whale King to roar with rage.
xiù páo yī fú , xuán qīng zi mǔ dùn ér chū , bù qiú yǒu gōng , dàn qiú wú guò 。
袖袍一拂,玄青子母盾而出,不求有功,但求无过。
The creature actually had two tongues that could operate independently, allowing it to fight against two enemies simultaneously.
nà qī miàn dùn pái cái rú tōng líng yì bān 。 chéng shàn xíng pái liè qǐ lái 。
那七面盾牌才如通灵一般。呈扇形排列起来。
Lin Xuan observed as the creature's tongues were incredibly agile, resembling venomous snakes. They were powerful enough to clash with the Giant Whale King without being at a disadvantage. In fact, he was clearly winning and even outperforming the Giant Whale King.
shàng miàn gè zì yǒu líng guāng 〖 bó 〗 fā ér chū 。 lián chéng yī piàn qīng sè de guāng mù , yí gè tài jí tú àn zài shàng miàn liú zhuǎn , xiǎn de shén mì yǐ jí 。
上面各自有灵光〖勃〗发而出。连成一片青色的光幕,一个太极图案在上面流转,显得神秘以极。
"Ku!"
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì , zhè cái zhuǎn guò tóu lú , fā xiàn jù jīng wáng zhèng yǔ duì fāng de shé tou jiū chán zhe 。
林轩松了口气,这才转过头颅,发现巨鲸王正与对方的舌头纠缠着。
The Giant Whale King dodged left and right, punching through an opening. The Ice Demon Heart Toad’s tongue rose like a venomous snake before launching itself like an arrow.
bīng mó xīn chán yī tiáo shé tou de gōng jī , bèi zì jǐ duǒ le guò qù , kě lìng wài yī tiáo shé tou , què jiāng jù jīng wáng bī dé nù hǒu bù xiū 。
冰魔心蟾一条舌头的攻击,被自己躲了过去,可另外一条舌头,却将巨鲸王逼得怒吼不休。
There was no trickery; this attack was a direct clash.
duì fāng yuán lái zhǎng le liǎng gēn shé tou , kě yǐ fēn bié cāo zòng 。 tóng shí gēn liǎng míng dí rén zuò zhàn de 。
对方原来长了两根舌头,可以分别操纵。同时跟两名敌人作战的。
Boom!
lín xuān fàng yǎn wàng qù , cǐ shòu de shé tou , líng huó yǐ jí 。 kàn shàng qù , yǔ dú shé bié wú èr zhì , ér qiě lì dà wú bǐ , jū rán yǔ jù jīng wáng duì hōng yě méi yǒu wèn tí 。
林轩放眼望去,此兽的舌头,灵活以极。看上去,与毒蛇别无二致,而且力大无比,居然与巨鲸王对轰也没有问题。
The two tongues collided, creating spiraling force waves that generated gusts of wind. The Giant Whale King's face turned red as if he had drunk alcohol. Lin Xuan knew it was due to the surge of qi in his chest.
bù , zhèng què de shuō , shì tā gēn běn shì zhàn shàng fēng 。 bǐ jù jīng wáng hái yào shèng shàng yī chóu 。
不,正确的说,是他根本是占上风。比巨鲸王还要胜上一筹。
The Giant Whale King stepped back, having lost the strength contest.
hǒu !
吼!
The Ice Demon Heart Toad wouldn’t stop; its tongue rose again and viciously stabbed downward.
jù jīng wáng zuǒ duǒ yòu shǎn , chǒu zhǔn kòng xì yī quán dǎ chū , nà bīng mó xīn chán de shé tou yě bù shì ruò , rú dú shé yì bān de gāo gāo yáng qǐ , rán hòu zài rú tóng jiàn yì bān de fā shè le chū qù 。
巨鲸王左躲右闪,瞅准空隙一拳打出,那冰魔心蟾的舌头也不示弱,如毒蛇一般的高高扬起,然后再如同箭一般的发射了出去。
There was no way for the Giant Whale King to dodge as he let out a roar, punching with both fists.
sī háo qǔ qiǎo yě wú , zhè yī jī , xiǎn rán shì yìng pèng yìng le 。
丝毫取巧也无,这一击,显然是硬碰硬了。
Lin Xuan raised his staff, infused it with mana, and swung it hard at the demonic toad.
hōng !
轰!
Though they were still enemies just moments ago, their fate was now intertwined; if one fell, the other would suffer too.
liǎng zhě duì zhuàng 。 lì zhī qì xuán suí zhī ér chū , jī qǐ yī dào dào gāng fēng , jù jīng wáng de liǎn sè zhòu rán tōng hóng 。 jiù fǎng fú fán rén hē le jiǔ yì bān , rán ér lín xuān xiǎo de , zhè shì tā xiōng zhōng qì xuè fān yǒng de yuán gù 。
两者对撞。力之气旋随之而出,激起一道道罡风,巨鲸王的脸色骤然通红。就仿佛凡人喝了酒一般,然而林轩晓得,这是他胸中气血翻涌的缘故。
Therefore, Lin Xuan intervened.
jù jīng wáng tuì hòu liǎng bù , bǐ lì liàng , tā jū rán shū le 。
巨鲸王退后两步,比力量,他居然输了。
Zing...
bīng mó xīn chán zì rán bú huì jiù cǐ shàn bà gān xiū , nà shé tou gāo gāo yáng qǐ , zài cì è hěn hěn chuō le xià qù 。
冰魔心蟾自然不会就此善罢甘休,那舌头高高扬起,再次恶狠狠戳了下去。
Countless staff shadows emerged, converging in the middle and smashing down on the Ice Demon Heart Toad. The impact was formidable, but the creature remained unafraid. Blue light flashed in its eyes as it gathered cold energy to form a transparent ice shield above its head.
jù jīng wáng duǒ wú kě duǒ , yī shēng bào hē , shuāng quán qí chū 。
巨鲸王躲无可躲,一声暴喝,双拳齐出。
A dozen feet thick, it appeared incredibly solid.
lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo , shǒu chí chán zhàng 。 fǎ lì zhù rù ” hěn hěn cháo zhe yāo chán huī là xià qù le 。
林轩眉头一挑,手持禅杖。法力注入”狠狠朝着妖蟾挥落下去了。
Bang!
tā yǔ jù jīng wáng gāng gāng suī rán hái shì sǐ dí , dàn xiàn zài què chéng le yī tiáo shéng shàng de mà zhà 。 duì fāng ruò shì yǔn luò , zì jǐ yě jué duì tǎo bú dào hǎo shén me 。
他与巨鲸王刚刚虽然还是死敌,但现在却成了一条绳上的蚂蚱。对方若是陨落,自己也绝对讨不到好什么。
The staff shadows crashed down, breaking the ice shield as expected. However, Lin Xuan’s attack also lost momentum. The Ice Demon Heart Toad didn’t even try to dodge; the remaining shockwave hit its head but caused no harm!~!
The ice layer cracked, sending shards flying everywhere. A thick white mist emerged from the fissure.
A deep, bottomless hole appeared in Lin Xuan's line of sight.
"Ku!"
A deafening roar echoed, shaking the very soul. Then a massive black shadow emerged from the underground cave.
Along with it came an intense spiritual pressure that made Lin Xuan feel slightly shaken. He wanted to flee but felt as if he was trapped.
