“ zhè shì ……” zhāng yì dào xī le yī kǒu liáng qì ， guò le jǐ miǎo ， cái yǒu xiē chí yí de dào ：“ zhèn fǎ ？”
“这是……”张翼倒吸了一口凉气，过了几秒，才有些迟疑的道：“阵法？”
"Is this...?" Zhang Yi sucked in a cold breath. After several seconds, he hesitantly said, "An array formation?"
rú guǒ zài bié de dì fāng chū xiàn zhèn fǎ dào yě bù suàn shén me ， dàn zài zhè jiāng shī dòng xué zhī zhōng ……
如果在别的地方出现阵法倒也不算什么，但在这僵尸洞穴之中……
If an array formation appeared elsewhere, it wouldn't be much of a surprise, but here in the zombie cave...
yào zhī dào ， jiāng shī nǎi shì shī tǐ xī shōu dì dǐ yīn qì hòu tōng líng fù huó ， dàn běn shēn bìng méi yǒu hún pò ， huàn jù huà shuō ， bù guò shì yī jù méi yǒu líng zhì ， píng zhuó lì qì chī rén de guài wù bà le 。
要知道，僵尸乃是尸体吸收地底阴气后通灵复活，但本身并没有魂魄，换句话说，不过是一具没有灵智，凭着力气吃人的怪物罢了。
One had to know that zombies were corpses that absorbed underground阴气and revived through spiritual awakening, but they lacked souls or spirits. In other words, they were nothing more than mindless monsters relying on strength to devour others.
bǐ yāo shòu shàng qiě bù rú ， zhè yàng de jiā huo zěn me kě néng bù xià zhèn fǎ ne ？
比妖兽尚且不如，这样的家伙怎么可能布下阵法呢？
They weren’t even as formidable as beasts. How could such creatures set up an array formation?
chú fēi shì xiū xíng le qiān nián de lǎo guài wù ！
除非是修行了千年的老怪物！
Unless it was a thousand-year-old monster!
zhāng yì yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yīn mái ， tái shǒu yī zhǐ ， yǐ jì qǐ le hán lín jiàn ， pǔ tōng de jiāng shī què shí zhǐ yǒu běn néng ， dàn rú guǒ shì zài yīn qì zhōng xiū liàn qiān nián zé huì líng zhì dà kāi 。
张翼眼中闪过一丝阴霾，抬手一指，已祭起了寒鳞剑，普通的僵尸确实只有本能，但如果是在阴气中修炼千年则会灵智大开。
A gloomy expression flashed across Zhang Yi's eyes as he pointed his hand and raised the Cold Scale Sword. Ordinary zombies indeed only had instincts, but if they had undergone thousands of years of cultivation in阴气, their intelligence would greatly increase.
zhè yàng de guài wù bù jǐn shén tōng jīng rén ， ér qiě zhì huì yě néng yǔ rén lèi xiāng pì měi 。
这样的怪物不仅神通惊人，而且智慧也能与人类相媲美。
Such monsters not only possessed astonishing abilities but also displayed wisdom comparable to humans.
nán dào yǐn cáng zài lǐ miàn de jū rán shì yī tóu shī wáng ma ？
难道隐藏在里面的居然是一头尸王吗？
Could it be that a King Zombie was hidden inside?
suī rán chuán shuō ， jiāng shī yí dàn jìn jiē chéng wéi shī wáng ， qí shén tōng néng gòu yǔ níng dān qī xiū shì xiāng bǐ ， qiě sī háo bù là xià fēng ， dàn zhāng yì què bìng méi yǒu duō shǎo wèi jù 。
虽然传说，僵尸一旦进阶成为尸王，其神通能够与凝丹期修士相比，且丝毫不落下风，但张翼却并没有多少畏惧。
Although legends said that once a zombie advanced to the status of a King Zombie, its power could rival that of a Condensation Core cultivator and wouldn't fall short in any way, Zhang Yi wasn’t particularly afraid.
zì jǐ kě bú shì pǔ tōng de níng dān xiū shì ， hé kuàng hái yǒu shī mèi zài yī páng ， liǎng rén lián shǒu ， shǐ chū hé bì zhī shù ， chú diào zhè ge guài wù yīng gāi shì qīng ér yì jǔ de 。
自己可不是普通的凝丹修士，何况还有师妹在一旁，两人联手，使出合璧之术，除掉这个怪物应该是轻而易举的。
He wasn’t an ordinary Condensation Core cultivator, and he had his junior sister beside him. With their combined efforts, eliminating this monster should be easy.
zhǐ shì méi xiǎng dào zhè xiǎo xiǎo de xiá gǔ ， jū rán yǐn cáng yǒu rú cǐ guài wù ， bié shuō liǎng wèi shī zhí ， kǒng pà biàn shì lǚ shī dì ， yě xiōng duō jí shǎo le 。
只是没想到这小小的峡谷，居然隐藏有如此怪物，别说两位师侄，恐怕便是吕师弟，也凶多吉少了。
However, he hadn’t expected such a small valley to hide such a formidable creature. Even if the two junior disciples were involved, even Master Lu would likely fare poorly.
tā dì yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ lì sè ：“ shī mèi zhàn kāi ！”
他地眼中闪过一缕厉色：“师妹站开！”
He flashed a look of severity: "Junior Sister, step back!"
nǚ xiū tīng huà dì tuì hòu liǎng bù 。 yù shǒu huī chū 。 yě jiāng nà hóng líng fǎ bǎo jì le qǐ lái 。
女修听话地退后两步。玉手挥出。也将那红绫法宝祭了起来。
The female cultivator obediently stepped back two steps and waved her jade hand, raising a red silk treasure.
suí zhe zhāng yì dì hū hè 。 xuán fú zài bàn kōng dì hán lín jiàn hán guāng dà zuò 。 hū xiào zhe xiàng shān bì fēi qù le 。
随着张翼地呼喝。悬浮在半空地寒鳞剑寒光大作。呼啸着像山壁飞去了。
With Zhang Yi's command, the Cold Scale Sword in mid-air emitted a chilling light as it whizzed towards the mountain wall.
níng dān qī gāo shǒu dì yī jī fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 àn lǐ shuō 。 jiù suàn shì jīng tiě 。 yě huì bèi qīng yì dòng chuān 。 kě cóng nà shān bì shàng dì zhuā hén zhī zhōng 。 què tū rán mào chū wú shù hēi qì 。 huà wèi le yī tiáo jù dà dì hēi sè guài mǎng 。 xiàng zhe fēi jiàn chán qù 。
凝丹期高手地一击非同小可。按理说。就算是精铁。也会被轻易洞穿。可从那山壁上地抓痕之中。却突然冒出无数黑气。化为了一条巨大地黑色怪蟒。向着飞剑缠去。
A Condensation Core expert’s strike was no trivial matter. Normally, even fine iron would be easily pierced by such an attack. However, from the mountain wall's scratch marks, countless black qi suddenly emerged and transformed into a massive black monster snake, wrapping around the flying sword.
zhāng yì yī shēng lěng hē ， shuāng shǒu xùn jí rú fēng ， rú tóng chuān huā hú dié bān de biàn huàn le shù gè fǎ yìn ， rán hòu yī dào lán guāng jī dǎ zài fǎ bǎo zhī shàng 。
张翼一声冷喝，双手迅疾如风，如同穿花蝴蝶般的变幻了数个法印，然后一道蓝光击打在法宝之上。
Zhang Yi coldly shouted as his hands moved swiftly like butterflies, forming several hand seals before striking the treasure with a blue light.
hán lín jiàn xī shōu le lán guāng ， yíng fēng jiù zhǎng 。 qǐng kè jiān jìng rán huà wèi le shù zhàng zhī zhǎng ， dài zhe kāi shān zhī shì hěn hěn de zhǎn xià 。
寒鳞剑吸收了蓝光，迎风就涨。顷刻间竟然化为了数丈之长，带着开山之势狠狠的斩下。
The Cold Scale Sword absorbed the blue light and grew in size. In an instant, it became several dozen feet long, slicing down with the force of a mountain.
cī lā yī shēng ， nà guài mǎng duàn wèi le liǎng jié ， rán hòu chóng xīn huà wèi hēi qì xiāo sàn zài kōng qì lǐ 。
刺啦一声，那怪蟒断为了两截，然后重新化为黑气消散在空气里。
Sizzle!
shī qù jìn zhì bǎo hù de shān bì zì rán dǎng bú zhù níng dān gāo shǒu de yī jī 。 suì shí màn tiān fēi wǔ ， lù chū le hòu miàn de shì wù 。
失去禁制保护的山壁自然挡不住凝丹高手的一击。碎石漫天飞舞，露出了后面的事物。
That monster snake was cut into two halves, then reformed into black qi dissipating into the air.
nà shì yí gè yuán xíng de bàn fēng bì de dòng xué ， miàn jī yuē yǒu jìn bǎi píng fāng mǐ ， lǐ miàn bìng méi yǒu duō yú zhī wù 。 kě yǐ qīng sōng de jiāng suǒ yǒu de jǐng xiàng yì lǎn wú yí 。
那是一个圆形的半封闭的洞穴，面积约有近百平方米，里面并没有多余之物。可以轻松的将所有的景象一览无遗。
Without the array formation's protection, the mountain wall naturally couldn't withstand a Condensation Core expert’s attack. Fragments of stone flew everywhere, revealing what lay behind.
yī nán yī nǚ liǎng wèi xiū shì tóng shí dào xī le yī kǒu liáng qì 。
一男一女两位修士同时倒吸了一口凉气。
It was a circular, partially enclosed cave with an area of nearly one hundred square meters. There were no extra items inside; everything could be clearly seen from any angle.
bèi shàng yǒu má sōu sōu dì gǎn jué ！
背上有麻嗖嗖地感觉！
Both male and female cultivators simultaneously sucked in their breaths.
zhǐ jiàn zài shí dòng de zhōng yāng yǒu yí gè zhǎng kuān gè yī zhàng de chí zi ， jǐn yǒu bàn mǐ shēn ， chí zi de dǐ bù yòng jiān ruì zhī wù kè zhe xǔ duō gǔ guài dì fú wén 。
只见在石洞的中央有一个长宽各一丈的池子，仅有半米深，池子的底部用尖锐之物刻着许多古怪地符文。
A prickly sensation ran down their spines!
nà jiāng shī jiù zuò zài chí zi zhōng jiān 。
那僵尸就坐在池子中间。
In the center of the stone cave was a pool measuring ten feet by ten feet, only half a meter deep. The bottom of the pool had many strange symbols carved into it with sharp objects.
tā de xíng mào yǔ wài miàn de guài wù yě dà bù yí yàng 。
它的形貌与外面的怪物也大不一样。
The zombie sat in the middle of this pool.
suī rán shēn tǐ biǎo miàn tóng yàng zhǎng zhe cùn xǔ zhǎng de guài máo ， bù guò què bú shì lǜ sè ， ér shì hóng sè ， qiě měi yī gēn dōu jiān yìng rú tiě 。
虽然身体表面同样长着寸许长的怪毛，不过却不是绿色，而是红色，且每一根都坚硬如铁。
Its appearance differed significantly from that outside.
liǎn shàng dì jī fū yě méi yǒu nà me kū jiāo ， fǎn ér yǒu yī sī guāng jié de wèi dào 。
脸上地肌肤也没有那么枯焦，反而有一丝光洁的味道。
Although its body surface grew inch-long monster hair, it wasn’t green but red, and each strand was as hard as iron.
zuì xiǎn zhù de qū bié shì é tóu shàng yǒu yī kē mǐ lì dà xiǎo de zhū zi ， shǎn dòng zhe yāo yì de guāng máng 。
最显著的区别是额头上有一颗米粒大小的珠子，闪动着妖异的光芒。
Its facial skin wasn't so dry; instead, there was a hint of luster.
guǒ rán shì shī wáng ！
果然是尸王！
The most obvious difference was a small bead the size of a grain of rice on its forehead, emitting an eerie glow.
ér tā zuò zhe de chí zi lǐ miàn ， héng qī shù bā de tǎng mǎn le xiū zhēn zhě 。 yǒu lǎo yǒu shǎo ， kàn fú shì ， gèng shì zhèng mó gè dà mén pài jī hū dōu bù quē shǎo 。
而它坐着的池子里面，横七竖八的躺满了修真者。有老有少，看服饰，更是正魔各大门派几乎都不缺少。
Sure enough, this was a King Zombie!
rán ér gèng jiā guǐ yì de shì zhè xiē xiū zhēn zhě suī rán hūn mí bù xǐng ， dàn què yǒu wēi ruò de shēng mìng fǎn yìng ， yǔ shī wáng dài zài yì qǐ ， jū rán méi yǒu bèi chī ？
然而更加诡异的是这些修真者虽然昏迷不醒，但却有微弱的生命反应，与尸王待在一起，居然没有被吃？
And inside that pool lay numerous cultivators in various states. Some were old and some young, with attire indicating almost all major sects were represented.
zhāng yì hé chén yǔ dì liǎn shàng bù yóu shǎn guò yī sī chà yì 。
张翼和陈雨地脸上不由闪过一丝诧异。
However, what was even more bizarre was that these cultivators, though unconscious, still had faint signs of life. They hadn't been eaten by the King Zombie?
cǐ jiāng shī yě bù zhī dào shì fǒu zhèng xiū liàn dào le jǐn yào guān tóu 。 zhèn fǎ bèi pò ， dòng fǔ jìn lái liǎng gè chuǎng rù zhě ， tā jū rán jǐn jǐn shì tái tóu kàn le liǎng rén yī yǎn ， jiù páng ruò wú rén de shōu huí le shì xiàn 。
此僵尸也不知道是否正修炼到了紧要关头。阵法被破，洞府进来两个闯入者，它居然仅仅是抬头看了两人一眼，就旁若无人的收回了视线。
Zhang Yi and Chen Yu exchanged surprised glances.
“ kě wù ！”
“可恶！”
The zombie didn’t know if it was in a critical phase of cultivation. The array formation was broken, and two intruders entered its lair. It merely looked at them with its eyes before turning away as if they were invisible.
chén yǔ zhèng yù shàng qián ， què bèi zhāng yì dǎng xià ：“ shī mèi ， bù máng ， xiān kàn yī kàn qíng kuàng 。”
陈雨正欲上前，却被张翼挡下：“师妹，不忙，先看一看情况。”
"Damn!"
liǎng rén jiù zhè me zhàn zài dòng kǒu ， lín xuān zé cāo zòng yīn hún yǐn nì zài yī páng 。
两人就这么站在洞口，林轩则操纵阴魂隐匿在一旁。
Chen Yu was about to step forward when Zhang Yi stopped her: "Junior Sister, hold your ground. Let’s first see the situation."
zhǐ jiàn nà shī wáng tái qǐ lì zhuǎ ， měi yī gēn zhǐ jiǎ dōu yǒu bàn chǐ lái zhǎng 。 jiù xiàng dāo piàn yī yàng 。
只见那尸王抬起利爪，每一根指甲都有半尺来长。就像刀片一样。
They stood by the entrance of the cave while Lin Xuan controlled his yin spirit and hid nearby.
rán ér tā què yòng zhè kě pà de zhuǎ zi 。 jié le jǐ gè qí tè de fǎ yìn ， kǒu zhōng yī shēng dī hǒu 。 lìng rén bù jiě de shì qíng fā shēng le 。
然而它却用这可怕的爪子。结了几个奇特的法印，口中一声低吼。令人不解的事情发生了。
The King Zombie raised its sharp claws, each nail half a foot long, like blades. However, it used these terrifying claws to form several strange hand seals. With a low growl, something unexpected happened.
zhǐ jiàn cóng nà xiē hūn mí xiū zhēn zhě de bí zhōng ， mào chū yī lǚ lǚ dì bái qì ， rán hòu quán bù bèi jiāng shī xī le jìn qù 。
只见从那些昏迷修真者的鼻中，冒出一缕缕地白气，然后全部被僵尸吸了进去。
From the noses of the unconscious cultivators, wisps of white vapor emerged, all of which were sucked into the zombie’s mouth.
“ wǔ shī zhí ！”
“武师侄！”
"Junior Disciple Wu!"
zhè shí hòu ， chén yǔ kàn jiàn yī chuān zhe bào lù de nǚ zǐ ， rěn bú zhù jīng hū le chū lái ， ér zhāng yì de biǎo qíng ， gèng shì lěng ruò hán bīng ， zhè guài wù jū rán shì zài xī shí huó rén de shēng qì 。
这时候，陈雨看见一穿着暴露的女子，忍不住惊呼了出来，而张翼的表情，更是冷若寒冰，这怪物居然是在吸食活人的生气。
At this moment, Chen Yu saw an exposed woman and couldn’t help exclaiming in surprise. Zhang Yi's expression turned as cold as ice; the monster was actually siphoning life force from living beings.
suī rán xiū zhēn zhě dà duō zì sī zì lì ， chú mó wèi dào jǐn shì piàn xiǎo hái zi de dōng xī ， dàn zhè guài wù shāng hài le zhǎng mén shī xiōng de qiān jīn ， zì rán bù néng fàng rèn bù lǐ 。
虽然修真者大多自私自利，除魔卫道仅是骗小孩子的东西，但这怪物伤害了掌门师兄的千金，自然不能放任不理。
Although most cultivators were selfish, fighting evil for righteousness was merely a lie to children. This monster had harmed their master’s daughter, so it couldn't be ignored.
dàn zài zhè lǐ dòng shǒu ， què yǒu pǒ duō gù jì 。
但在这里动手，却有颇多顾忌。
However, acting here would have many drawbacks.
“ shī mèi dòng shǒu ， jiāng zhè guài wù yǐn chū qù 。”
“师妹动手，将这怪物引出去。”
"Junior Sister, act and draw this monster out."
zhāng yì yī biān chuán yīn ， yī biān yòu zhǎng tuī chū ， hún shēn lán guāng yī shǎn ， lí tǐ hòu huà wèi le yī tóu tōng tǐ jīng yíng ， shǎn shuò zhe lán guāng de mí nǐ lǎo hǔ ， xiàng zhe jiāng shī pū le guò qù 。
张翼一边传音，一边右掌推出，浑身蓝光一闪，离体后化为了一头通体晶莹，闪烁着蓝光的迷你老虎，向着僵尸扑了过去。
Zhang Yi transmitted his voice while pushing his right palm forward. A blue light flashed around him as he transformed into a miniature tiger, crystal clear and shimmering with blue light, rushing towards the zombie.
chén yǔ bù gǎn dài màn ， yě shì xiāng tóng de dòng zuò ， zhǐ bù guò tā shēn shàng què shì hóng sè de líng lì ， huà wèi yī zhī rán shāo zhe dì huǒ niǎo 。
陈雨不敢怠慢，也是相同的动作，只不过她身上却是红色的灵力，化为一只燃烧着地火鸟。
Chen Yu didn’t hesitate, performing the same action but her body was enveloped in red essence qi, transforming into a flaming bird.
liǎng rén dì mù biāo ， shì nà jiāng shī shēn tǐ zhōu wéi de hù zhào 。
两人地目标，是那僵尸身体周围的护罩。
Their target was the protective shield surrounding the zombie’s body.
rán ér chū hū lín xuān dì yù liào ， líng lì suǒ huà de lǎo hǔ ， huǒ niǎo pū dào hù zhào shàng yǐ hòu ， què bìng méi yǒu bào zhà ， ér shì yòu zhuā yòu yǎo ， bù jǐn líng lì yǐ jí ， hái fēn bié fù dài yǒu huǒ shǔ xìng yǔ shuǐ shǔ xìng de gōng jī 。
然而出乎林轩地预料，灵力所化的老虎，火鸟扑到护罩上以后，却并没有爆炸，而是又抓又咬，不仅凌厉以极，还分别附带有火属性与水属性的攻击。
However, to Lin Xuan's surprise, the essence qi transformed into a tiger and a flaming bird didn't explode upon hitting the shield. Instead, they clawed and bit with incredible precision, each attack carrying fire and water attributes.
kàn kàn shì jiān gù de xuè sè hù zhào ， jǐn jǐn zhī chí le jǐ miǎo ， jiù shǎn shuò gè bù tíng ， yáo yáo yù zhuì qǐ lái 。
看看似坚固的血色护罩，仅仅支持了几秒，就闪烁个不停，摇摇欲坠起来。
The blood-colored shield seemed sturdy but only held for a few seconds before flickering and wobbling precariously.
jiāng shī zhōng yú chóng xīn zhēng kāi le shuāng yǎn 。
僵尸终于重新睁开了双眼。
Finally, the zombie opened its eyes.
lì zhuǎ yī yáng ， jū rán píng kōng bào zhǎng ， huà wèi le wǔ liù zhàng zhǎng ， jiù zhè me xiàng zhāng yì de miàn kǒng zhuā qù 。
利爪一扬，居然凭空暴涨，化为了五六丈长，就这么像张翼的面孔抓去。
It raised its claws, which suddenly grew to several dozen feet long, lunging towards Zhang Yi's face.
“ tuì ！” zhāng yì què bìng méi yǒu zhǐ huī fǎ bǎo yíng jī ， fǎn ér chōu shēn xiàng hòu tuì qù ， kàn qǐ lái ， sì hū shì xiǎng jiāng duì fāng yǐn kāi 。
“退！”张翼却并没有指挥法宝迎击，反而抽身向后退去，看起来，似乎是想将对方引开。
"Retreat!" However, instead of commanding his treasure to counterattack, Zhang Yi withdrew backward. It seemed he was trying to lure the creature away.
"Is this...?" Zhang Yi sucked in a cold breath. After several seconds, he hesitantly said, "An array formation?"
If an array formation appeared elsewhere, it wouldn't be much of a surprise, but here in the zombie cave...
One had to know that zombies were corpses that absorbed underground阴气and revived through spiritual awakening, but they lacked souls or spirits. In other words, they were nothing more than mindless monsters relying on strength to devour others.
They weren’t even as formidable as beasts. How could such creatures set up an array formation?
Unless it was a thousand-year-old monster!
A gloomy expression flashed across Zhang Yi's eyes as he pointed his hand and raised the Cold Scale Sword. Ordinary zombies indeed only had instincts, but if they had undergone thousands of years of cultivation in阴气, their intelligence would greatly increase.
Such monsters not only possessed astonishing abilities but also displayed wisdom comparable to humans.

He flashed a look of severity: "Junior Sister, step back!"
The female cultivator obediently stepped back two steps and waved her jade hand, raising a red silk treasure.
"Break!"
With Zhang Yi's command, the Cold Scale Sword in mid-air emitted a chilling light as it whizzed towards the mountain wall.
A Condensation Core expert’s strike was no trivial matter. Normally, even fine iron would be easily pierced by such an attack. However, from the mountain wall's scratch marks, countless black qi suddenly emerged and transformed into a massive black monster snake, wrapping around the flying sword.
"Die!"
Zhang Yi coldly shouted as his hands moved swiftly like butterflies, forming several hand seals before striking the treasure with a blue light.
The Cold Scale Sword absorbed the blue light and grew in size. In an instant, it became several dozen feet long, slicing down with the force of a mountain.
