nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou shǎn guò ， lín xuān de gōng jī yuè fā xiōng měng ， rú jiāng hé jué dī ， lián mián bù jué 。
脑海中念头闪过，林轩的攻击越发凶猛，如江河决堤，连绵不绝。
Thoughts raced through Lin Xuan's mind as his attacks grew more ferocious, like a dam breaking and flowing unceasingly.
gēn běn bù gěi duì fāng kě chèn zhī jī ， néng gòu cóng róng de chōu shēn lí qù 。
根本不给对方可趁之机，能够从容的抽身离去。
He gave the opponent no chance to recover or retreat.
liè kōng zhēn rén jīng nù jiāo jí ， nèi xīn shēn chù gèng shì jiào kǔ bù yǐ 。
裂空真人惊怒交集，内心深处更是叫苦不已。
Liankong Zhenren was both shocked and furious, his heart filled with despair. He never expected a human cultivator to be so formidable in close combat; if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it even if someone told him.
méi xiǎng dào yī rén lèi xiū xiān zhě ， jìn zhàn jū rán biāo hàn dào rú cǐ chéng dù ， rú guǒ bú shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， shuí shuō yǔ zì jǐ tīng dōu bú huì xiāng xìn de 。
没想到一人类修仙者，近战居然彪悍到如此程度，如果不是亲眼目睹，谁说与自己听都不会相信的。
But this was only the beginning. The nightmare was about to follow.
rán ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì kāi shǐ ， è mèng jiē xià lái huì jǐn suí ér zhì 。
然而这仅仅是开始，噩梦接下来会紧随而至。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and the essence energy around him suddenly transformed. A demonic wind appeared out of nowhere.
lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī ， hún shēn de líng lì zhòu rán fā shēng le biàn yì 。
林轩深深呼吸，浑身的灵力骤然发生了变异。
"You… still call yourself a cultivator."
yī gǔ yāo fēng píng kōng ér qǐ 。
一股妖风凭空而起。
Liankong Zhenren was terrified, his face showing clear panic. Even with his golden body form, he could barely withstand the attack; as a cultivator, this opponent was even more formidable, turning the situation into an even worse predicament.
“ chēng ………… nǐ hái shì xiū yāo zhě 。”
“称…………你还是修妖者。”
"Damnit! How did I get involved with such an overpowered individual?"
liè kōng zhēn rén dà jīng shī sè ， liǎn shàng lù chū hěn míng xiǎn de huáng kǒng ， jǐn jǐn shì jīn shēn fǎ xiàng 。 zì jǐ yǐ wán quán dǐ dí bú zhù ， duì fāng hái shì xiū yāo zhě ， nà bù chéng le xuě shàng jiā shuāng le me ？
裂空真人大惊失色，脸上露出很明显的惶恐，仅仅是金身法相。自己已完全抵敌不住，对方还是修妖者，那不成了雪上加霜了么？
But there were no regrets in either the secular world or the realm of cultivation. Lin Xuan roared loudly, his body radiating essence energy as multicolored light flowed around him. His hands also turned into sharp claws.
gāi sǐ ！
该死！
A loud tearing sound echoed. With a single strike, he tore through the opponent's defenses. Liankong Zhenren's pupils constricted slightly as he barely managed to dodge the critical areas, escaping the fatal blow but sustaining severe injuries.
zì jǐ zěn yǒu huì zhāo rě shàng zhè me nì tiān de jiā huo ？
自己怎友会招惹上这么逆天的家伙？
"You brat, don't push me too far," Liankong Zhenren shouted furiously.
kě bù guǎn shì sú ， hái shì xiū xiān jiè 。 dōu méi yǒu hòu huǐ yào mài de 。
可不管世俗，还是修仙界。都没有后悔药卖的。
"Push you? What do you think can still be done at this moment?" Lin Xuan said coldly.
lín xuān yī shēng dà hē ， hún shēn shàng xià líng guāng pēn bó ， wǔ sè guāng yùn liú zhuǎn ér guò ， shuāng shǒu yě tóng yàng biàn chéng lì zhuǎ le 。
林轩一声大喝，浑身上下灵光喷薄，五色光韵流转而过，双手也同样变成利爪了。
I'm not one who was frightened into submission. In terms of experience with the brutal world, even this Core Profound old monster is no match for me.
cī lā zhī shēng dà zuò 。 jǐn jǐn yī jī ， jiù sī pò le duì fāng de fáng yù ， liè kōng zhēn rén tóng kǒng wēi suō 。 miǎn qiǎng jiāng yào hài duǒ guò ， suī rán miǎn chú le kāi táng pò dù zhī huò ， dàn suǒ shòu de shāng yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
刺啦之声大做。仅仅一击，就撕破了对方的防御，裂空真人瞳孔微缩。勉强将要害躲过，虽然免除了开膛破肚之祸，但所受的伤也非同小可。
"Fine, brat, you forced my hand. I didn't want to use that secret technique," Liankong Zhenren said angrily. "Now, let's see who ends up worse off."
“ xiǎo bèi ， nǐ bú yào qī rén tài shèn le 。” liè kōng zhēn rén qì jí bài huài de dà jiào chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“小辈，你不要欺人太甚了。”裂空真人气急败坏的大叫传入耳朵。
With a roar, he flapped his wings and unleashed a fierce wind. A stream of essence blood shot from his mouth, temporarily blocking Lin Xuan's attacks. His entire body was enveloped in black light, with electric arcs swirling around it and mysterious runes spinning.
“ wǒ qī nǐ yòu rú hé ， nǐ yǐ wéi cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zì jǐ hái néng gòu fān chū shén me tiān lái me ？” lín xuān lěng lěng de shuō 。
“我欺你又如何，你以为此时此刻，自己还能够翻出什么天来么？”林轩冷冷的说。
The sky darkened significantly as thick clouds gathered overhead, and the waves on the sea churned violently.
běn shào yé yòu bú shì bèi xià dà de ， ruò lùn jīng lì de xīng fēng xuè yǔ zhī duō ， biàn shì yǎn qián de dòng xuán qī lǎo guài wù ， yě yuǎn yuǎn bù jí tā de 。
本少爷又不是被吓大的，若论经历的腥风血雨之多，便是眼前的洞玄期老怪物，也远远不及他的。
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed, and silver light suddenly shone from his pupils—Celestial Phoenix Divine Eyes. This divine technique had many uses, rendering any illusions ineffective.
“ hǎo ， xiǎo bèi ， zhè shì nǐ bī wǒ 。 běn zhēn rén yuán běn bù xiǎng yòng nà mì shù ” nà xiàn zài ， nǐ wǒ jiù liǎng bài jù shāng hǎo le 。”
“好，小辈，这是你逼我。本真人原本不想用那秘术”那现在，你我就两败俱伤好了。”
A large ball of black and blue energy formed, with a proud iron-feather eagle standing inside it. The wingspan exceeded ten zhang (about 30 feet), the feathers sharp as spears. His claws were razor-sharp, not inferior to those of any sword or blade.
liè kōng zhēn rén dà nù ” shēng yīn zhōng chōng mǎn le yuàn dú ， suí hòu bèi hòu chì bǎng yī wǔ ， è fēng dà zuò ， tā kǒu zhōng yī dào jīng xuè pēn tǔ ， zàn shí jiāng lín xuān de gōng jī dǐ zhù ” suí hòu zhěng gè shēn tǐ ， hēi máng dà zuò 。 bèi yāo fēng hēi qì bāo guǒ ， biǎo miàn bù jǐn chán rào zhe yī quān quān de diàn hú ， hái yǒu shén mì de fú wén xuán zhuǎn tūn tǔ 。
裂空真人大怒”声音中充满了怨毒，随后背后翅膀一舞，恶风大做，他口中一道精血喷吐，暂时将林轩的攻击抵住”随后整个身体，黑芒大做。被妖风黑气包裹，表面不仅缠绕着一圈圈的电弧，还有神秘的符文旋转吞吐。
More terrifyingly, his entire body was wrapped in electric arcs.
lián tiān kōng ， yě zhòu rán yīn chén le xǔ duō ， wū yún yā dǐng 。 hǎi miàn shàng de bō làng yě cǐ qǐ bǐ fú 。
连天空，也骤然阴沉了许多，乌云压顶。海面上的波浪也此起彼伏。
This creature had revealed its true form—Thunder Eagle.
lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi mī ” tóng kǒng zhōng yǒu yín máng zhòu rán liàng qǐ ， tiān fèng shén mù ， cǐ shén tōng yǒu zhū duō yòng tú 。 zài cǐ shén tōng xià ， shén me huàn shù zǔ gé ， dōu xíng tóng xū shè 。
林轩眼睛微眯”瞳孔中有银芒骤然亮起，天凤神目，此神通有诸多用途。在此神通下，什么幻术阻隔，都形同虚设。
Lin Xuan smirked; this guy really misjudged himself. He made another mistake.
zhǐ jiàn yāo fēng hēi qì ， xíng chéng le yī jù dà de qiú tǐ ， ér zài qí zhōng ” yī tiě yǔ xióng yīng ào rán ér lì 。
只见妖风黑气，形成了一巨大的球体，而在其中”一铁羽雄鹰傲然而立。
He didn't know what the beast intended by showing its true form but it mattered little now. In front of him, such a move was akin to an old man hanging from a noose, seeking death.
guāng shì yì zhǎn ， jiù chāo guò le shí zhàng yǒu yú ， bèi shàng de tiě yǔ ， hěn hěn rú jǐ ， lì zhuǎ tàn chū ， shàng miàn de zhǐ jiǎ gèng shì jiān ruì dào jí chù ， jí shǐ yǔ dāo jiàn lèi de fǎ bǎo xiāng bǐ ” yě méi yǒu fēn háo xùn sè 。
光是翼展，就超过了十丈有余，背上的铁羽，狠狠如戟，利爪探出，上面的指甲更是尖锐到极处，即使与刀剑类的法宝相比”也没有分毫逊色。
Inane.
gèng jiā kě pà de shì ， xī de zhěng gè shēn tǐ ， dōu chán rào zhe wèi lán sè de diàn hú 。
更加可怕的是，牺的整个身体，都缠绕着蔚蓝色的电弧。
Lin Xuan's face was full of amusement. To Liankong Zhenren, this expression seemed incredibly arrogant.
zhè jiā huo ， xiàn chū léi yīng de yuán xíng lái le 。
这家伙，现出雷鹰的原型来了。
"You brat, you won't shed tears until you see your coffin. I'll make you regret it now," the demon bird roared. It opened its mouth and spat out a round pearl.
lín xuān jiàn le ， zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè 。 zhè jiā huo ， hái zhēn shì cōng míng fǎn bèi cōng míng wù 。 yī cuò zài cuò le 。
林轩见了，嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲之色。这家伙，还真是聪明反被聪明误。一错再错了。
It was light blue in color, roughly the size of a human's fist—clearly an ancient demon core that had taken him thousands of years to cultivate.
lín xuān bù xiǎo de ” tā xiǎn chū yāo shòu yuán xíng 。 shì xiǎng yào shǐ yòng shén me lì hài de zhāo shù 。 bù guò nà yòu yǒu shén me guān xì ne ， zài zì jǐ miàn qián zhè me zuò ” jiǎn zhí shì lǎo shòu xīng shàng diào ， huó nì wāi le 。
林轩不晓得”他显出妖兽原型。是想要使用什么厉害的招数。不过那又有什么关系呢，在自己面前这么做”简直是老寿星上吊，活腻歪了。
For demons, the demon core was the most precious item. However, it differed from human essence cores; losing one wouldn't result in death but would drastically reduce his cultivation level, possibly dropping several ranks.
yú bù kě jí 。
愚不可及。
Thus, demons guarded their demon cores meticulously, usually storing them within their bodily qi seas. Some secret techniques required the use of a demon core to be activated.
lín xuān liǎn shàng mǎn shì xiào yì 。
林轩脸上满是笑意。
Such secret techniques were invariably powerful. At this moment, Liankong Zhenren had spat out his demon core, clearly intending to fight to the death with Lin Xuan.
ér tā zhè fù biǎo qíng ， luò zài liè kōng zhēn rén de yǎn lǐ ， jiǎn zhí shì xiāo zhāng wú bǐ 。
而他这副表情，落在裂空真人的眼里，简直是嚣张无比。
Unfortunately for him, he hadn't checked the almanac today; his luck was terrible.
“ xiǎo zi ， nǐ shì bù jiàn guān cái bù luò lèi ， běn zhēn rén xiàn zài jiù ràng nǐ hòu huǐ 。” yāo qín de nù hǒu shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu tā zhāng kāi zuǐ 。 tǔ chū le yī kē yuán zhū 。
“小子，你是不见棺材不落泪，本真人现在就让你后悔。”妖禽的怒吼声传入耳朵，随后他张开嘴。吐出了一颗圆珠。
Even if he were a mere early-stage Core Profound demon, such an action would be suicide.
chéng dàn lán sè ， yǔ pǔ tōng rén de quán tou dà xiǎo chà bu duō 。 xiǎn rán shì cǐ lǎo guài wù kǔ xiū shàng wàn nián de yāo dān le 。
呈淡蓝色，与普通人的拳头大小差不多。显然是此老怪物苦修上万年的妖丹了。
With a wave of his sleeves, light flickered as a tattered tower flew out. Lin Xuan had mastered the Treasure Transfer Art thoroughly and used it with ease.
duì yú yāo zú lái shuō ， yāo dān nǎi shì zuì wèi zhēn guì zhī wù 。 bù guò yǔ rén lèi yuán yīng ， yòu shì yǒu qū bié de 。 yí shī yǐ hòu ， bìng bú huì yǔn luò ， dàn xiū wèi què huì bào jiàng xǔ duō ， jiù shì diē luò liǎng sān gè céng cì yě bù zú láo qí 。
对于妖族来说，妖丹乃是最为珍贵之物。不过与人类元婴，又是有区别的。遗失以后，并不会陨落，但修为却会暴降许多，就是跌落两三个层次也不足劳奇。
Several spells cast, white light burst forth, coalescing into a vortex in his vision.
gù ér yāo zú duì cǐ wù de bǎo hù ” shì jí wéi yán mì ， yì bān dōu cáng yú 〖 tǐ 〗 nèi de qì hǎi zhī zhōng ， bù guò yǒu yī xiē mì shù ， què shì bì xū jiè zhù yāo dān cái néng shī zhǎn chū lái 。
故而妖族对此物的保护”是极为严密，一般都藏于〖体〗内的气海之中，不过有一些秘术，却是必须借助妖丹才能施展出来。
"What is this treasure?"
tōng cháng zhè yàng de mì shù ， wēi lì wú yī bú shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， cǐ shí cǐ kè duì fāng jiāng yāo dān tǔ chū ， xiǎn rán shì xiǎng yào gēn lín xuān pīn mìng le 。
通常这样的秘术，威力无一不是非同小可，此时此刻对方将妖丹吐出，显然是想要跟林轩拼命了。
Liankong Zhenren instinctively sensed something amiss but was too focused to care. He opened his mouth and released more essence energy from his core.
kě xī zhè lǎo guài wù jīn rì wài chū ， bìng wèi kàn huáng lì ， zhè yùn qì yě tài chà le xiē 。
可惜这老怪物今日外出，并未看黄历，这运气也太差了些。
Inside the vortex, strange light shone as a small ball of fur emerged groggily. It stretched its tiny claws, still half-asleep.
bié shuō tā yī qū qū dòng xuán chū qī de yāo zú ， jiù suàn shì hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， zhè yàng zuò 。 yě shì zì jǐ zhǎo sǐ 。
别说他一区区洞玄初期的妖族，就算是后期的老怪物，这样做。也是自己找死。
Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh; this little guy ate and slept all day, making him wonder if he was reincarnated as a piglet.
xiù páo yī fú 。 guāng yùn shǎn shuò ， yī pò pò làn làn de bǎo tǎ yǐ fēi lüè ér chū ， lín xuān yǐ jiāng tōng bǎo jué yán xí chún shú ， shǐ yòng qǐ cǐ wù ， zì rán shì shōu fàng zì rú 。
袖袍一拂。光晕闪烁，一破破烂烂的宝塔已飞掠而出，林轩已将通宝诀研习纯熟，使用起此物，自然是收放自如。
There wasn’t time to waste now; the enemy was right in front of them.
jǐ dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， bái guāng dà zuò ， suí hòu nà guāng máng wǎng zhōng jiān yī jù ， yí gè xuán wō chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
几道法诀打出，白光大做，随后那光芒往中间一聚，一个漩涡出现在了视线里。
Lin Xuan threw a pineapple bomb. It exploded with a loud sound, instantly waking up the small creature. It covered its head with a paw and tears welled up in its eyes—his master was too cruel, always bullying this poor little pet. Wuhu…
“ zhè shì shén me bǎo wù ？”
“这是什么宝物？”
"Don't cry. Look, what is that?"
liè kōng zhēn rén běn néng gǎn jué dào yì diǎn bù tuǒ ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yǐ gù bù liǎo xǔ duō 。 zhāng kāi zuǐ ， yòu shì jǐ dào běn mìng líng qì pēn bó 。
裂空真人本能感觉到一点不妥，然而此时此刻，已顾不了许多。张开嘴，又是几道本命灵气喷薄。
Lin Xuan couldn’t help but laugh; the little guy always seemed harmless but was actually better at feigning innocence.
ér xuán wō zhī zhōng què shì yì máng dà zuò 。 xiǎo máo qiú shuì yǎn xīng sōng de chū lái le 。
而漩涡之中却是异芒大做。小毛球睡眼惺忪的出来了。
Indeed, there's a reason why you get such pets when you have such a master. But Lin Xuan wasn’t fooled by this trick. Following his words, the small ball of fur turned its head and the pineapple bomb didn't hurt much.
shēn chū xiǎo zhuǎ zi róu le róu yǎn jīng ， xiǎn rán hái méi yǒu shuì xǐng 。
伸出小爪子揉了揉眼睛，显然还没有睡醒。
The transformed Liankong Zhenren appeared before him. The small creature’s expression changed from one of disappointment to joy.
lín xuān yī zhèn wú yǔ ， zhè xiǎo jiā huo chī le jiù shuì ， shuì le yòu chī ， rú guǒ bù zhī dào de 。 hái yǐ wéi tā shì zhū ér zhuǎn shì 。
林轩一阵无语，这小家伙吃了就睡，睡了又吃，如果不知道的。还以为他是猪儿转世。
It was understandable; just waking up with a feast in front of it would make anyone happy.
bì guò xiàn zài kě méi yǒu shí jiān gěi tā dān gē ， xiàn zài dà dí jiù zài yǎn qián de 。
避过现在可没有时间给他耽搁，现在大敌就在眼前的。
Liankong Zhenren's pupils constricted as he trembled inexplicably. Despite the cute appearance, his instincts made him feel extreme fear—like facing a natural enemy?
lín xuān yí gè bō luó dàn le chū qù ， pēng de yī shēng ， xiǎo jiā huo lì kè qīng xǐng ， yòng zhuǎ zi wǔ zhù é tóu 。 yǎn jīng zhōng mǎn shì shuǐ wù ， zhǔ rén shí zài shì tài huài le 。 lǎo shì qī fù zì jǐ zhè kě lián de xiǎo chǒng wù ， wū wū ……
林轩一个菠萝弹了出去，嘭的一声，小家伙立刻清醒，用爪子捂住额头。眼睛中满是水雾，主人实在是太坏了。老是欺负自己这可怜的小宠物，呜呜……
Why?
“ bù xǔ kū ， nǐ kàn ， nà shì shén me ？”
“不许哭，你看，那是什么？”
He appeared so weak and insignificant, but Liankong Zhenren was stunned. He had no time to ponder; the small creature had already acted.
lín xuān kū xiào bù dé ， xiǎo jiā huo zǒng shì biǎo xiàn dé yī fù rén chù wú hài de yàng zi ， qí shí bǐ zì jǐ hái huì bàn zhū chī hǔ 。
林轩哭笑不得，小家伙总是表现得一副人畜无害的样子，其实比自己还会扮猪吃虎。
Mew mew, it emitted sounds of great joy as its paws flicked, sending out a milky white light that enveloped him.
zhēn shì yǒu qí zhǔ bì yǒu qí chǒng wù ， bù guò lín xuān dāng rán bú huì bèi xiǎo jiā huo gěi mí huò ， tīng lín xuān zhè me shuō ， xiǎo jiā huo yě zhuǎn guò tóu lú 。 gāng gāng bèi dàn de bō luó yě bìng bú shì hěn tòng 。
真是有其主必有其宠物，不过林轩当然不会被小家伙给迷惑，听林轩这么说，小家伙也转过头颅。刚刚被弹的菠萝也并不是很痛。
Initially, it only wrapped around itself but soon spread outward. In an instant, a milky white light shrouded several miles in all directions.
nà liè kōng zhēn rén suǒ huà de yāo qín yìng rù le yǎn lián zhōng ” xiǎo máo qiú liǎn shàng de wěi qū ， dùn shí xiāo nì dé wú yǐng wú zōng ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì huān xǐ zhī sè 。
那裂空真人所化的妖禽映入了眼帘中”小毛球脸上的委屈，顿时消匿得无影无踪，取而代之的是欢喜之色。
Liankong Zhenren was now trapped; once inside the small creature's domain, he became a fish on a chopping block, unable to escape or revert back to his human form!
Thoughts raced through Lin Xuan's mind as his attacks grew more ferocious, like a dam breaking and flowing unceasingly.
He gave the opponent no chance to recover or retreat.
Liankong Zhenren was both shocked and furious, his heart filled with despair. He never expected a human cultivator to be so formidable in close combat; if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it even if someone told him.
But this was only the beginning. The nightmare was about to follow.

"You brat, don't push me too far," Liankong Zhenren shouted furiously.
"Push you? What do you think can still be done at this moment?" Lin Xuan said coldly.
I'm not one who was frightened into submission. In terms of experience with the brutal world, even this Core Profound old monster is no match for me.
"Fine, brat, you forced my hand. I didn't want to use that secret technique," Liankong Zhenren said angrily. "Now, let's see who ends up worse off."
