yú chǔn de jiā huo ， jì rán jiàn dào běn zūn zhě ， yǐ wéi hái huì róng nǐ men táo mìng me 。
愚蠢的家伙，既然见到本尊者，以为还会容你们逃命么。
Stupid fellow, since you've met the true form of this Sovereign, do you think I'll let you escape?
nà yán láng zūn zhě de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī cán rěn zhī sè， yě bú jiàn tā yǒu shén me dòng zuò ， bèi hòu de huǒ làng jū rán níng jù chéng yī kě pà de láng shǒu 。
那炎狼尊者的脸上闪过一丝残忍之sè，也不见他有什么动作，背后的火浪居然凝聚成一可怕的狼首。
The cruel expression flashed across Flame Wolf Sovereign's face. Without any action, a terrifying wolf head凝聚 from the fiery waves behind him.
nà láng shǒu bǐ gāng cái bèi lín xuān jī suì le de hái yào dà dé duō ， zú zú zhàn jù le bàn biān tiān mù ， suí hòu zhāng kāi xuè pén dà 。” pēn chū jǐ gè zhí jìng qī bā zhàng dà de chì hóng guāng qiú 。
那狼首比刚才被林轩击碎了的还要大得多，足足占据了半边天幕，随后张开血盆大。”喷出几个直径七八丈大的赤红光球。
This wolf head was much larger than the one Lin Xuan had shattered earlier, occupying half of the sky. It then opened its blood-red maw and spat out several crimson light balls with diameters of seven to eight zhang.
luò rù xīng fēng chéng zhōng ， liè yàn sàn kāi ” bèi jī zhòng de dì fāng jiù huà wèi le yī piàn huǒ hǎi 。
落入星峰城中，烈焰散开”被击中的地方就化为了一片火海。
The light balls fell into Star Peak City, spreading flames that turned the hit areas into a sea of fire.
lín xuān jiàn le ， yě bù yóu de tóng kǒng wēi suō ， tā yě shì cóng xīng fēng xuè yǔ zhōng chuǎng guò lái de ” zì rán bú huì yǒu xīn cí shǒu ruǎn yī shuō 。
林轩见了，也不由得瞳孔微缩，他也是从腥风血雨中闯过来的”自然不会有心慈手软一说。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he saw this. He had also endured the harsh trials of the world, so he wouldn't show any mercy.
dàn lín xuān zūn cóng de shì rén bù fàn wǒ ， wǒ bù fàn rén de yuán zé ， cóng bù huì yǐ zhàng shí lì ” qù làn shā wú gū ， sǐ zài tā shǒu zhōng de xiū xiān zhě ， dà duì zuì yǒu yīng dé ， ér zhè yán láng zūn zhě ， jū rán duì pǔ tōng de fán rén yě chū shǒu le 。
但林轩遵从的是人不犯我，我不犯人的原则，从不会倚仗实力”去滥杀无辜，死在他手中的修仙者，大对罪有应得，而这炎狼尊者，居然对普通的凡人也出手了。
But Lin Xuan followed the principle of not striking first unless struck. He never relied on his strength to indiscriminately kill innocents. Those who deserved death in his hands were few and far between, but this Flame Wolf Sovereign actually attacked ordinary humans as well.
ér nà jǐ míng táo pǎo de xiū shì jiù gèng bù yòng tí ， jǐ dào huǒ hóng sè de lì zhuǎ chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ ， qīng yì jiù qǔ xià le tā men de shǒu jí 。
而那几名逃跑的修士就更不用提，几道火红sè的利爪出现在视线里，轻易就取下了他们的首级。
The fleeing cultivators fared even worse. Several red claws appeared in Lin Xuan's line of sight, easily taking their heads off.
yuán běn xiǎng yào jiǎn kòng xì táo pǎo ， nà xiǎo de xuǎn zé de què shì huáng quán zhī lù ， sǐ dé bǐ yuán xiān gèng kuài le 。
原本想要捡空隙逃跑，那晓得选择的却是黄泉之路，死得比原先更快了。
Those who had chosen to run for a gap found themselves on the path to hell, dying faster than before.
“ fēng zi ， zhè jiā huo gēn běn jiù shì yí gè fēng zi 。”
“疯子，这家伙根本就是一个疯子。”
"Madman, this guy is nothing but a madman."
nán nán zì yǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zuò wéi yī fāng lǐng zhǔ ， tā zài xiū xiān jiè mó lì de suì yuè bǐ lín jǐng hái zhǎng ， zì rán yě jiàn guò xǔ duō dà fēng dà làng ， rán ér zhè yàng de jiā huo ， hái zhēn méi yǒu jiàn guò ， yǐ gāo jiē xiū shì de shí lì （ zhù yì ， bú shì gāo jiē xiū shì ， ér shì zhǐ yǒu nà yàng de shí lì ）” lái qī fù fán rén ， suàn shén me yīng xióng hǎo hàn le 。
喃喃自语的声音传入耳朵，作为一方领主，她在修仙界磨砺的岁月比林井还长，自然也见过许多大风大浪，然而这样的家伙，还真没有见过，以高阶修士的实力（注意，不是高阶修士，而是指有那样的实力）”来欺负凡人，算什么英雄好汉了。
A murmured voice entered his ears. As a regional lord, she had spent more years in the cultivation world than Lin Xuan, and had seen many tumultuous events. Such a person was unprecedented—using high-stage cultivators' strength to bully ordinary people; what kind of hero or righteous man could that be?
rén shuō xiū shì wú lì bù zǎo qǐ ， kě tā zhè me zuò ， yě méi yǒu fēn háo de hǎo chù ， nà bú shì fēng zi shì shén me ？
人说修士无利不早起，可他这么做，也没有分毫的好处，那不是疯子是什么？
They say cultivators rise early for profit, but doing this brought him no benefits at all. Wasn't he just throwing媚eyes at the blind? Not only useless, but laughable.
lín xuān què méi yǒu guǎn nà me duō ， duì fāng fēng zi yě hǎo ， shén jīng bìng yě bà ， yǔ zì jǐ yì diǎn guān xì yě wú ， tā kàn zhòng de zhǐ yǒu yí gè ， jiù shì duì fāng shí lì jiū jìng rú hé ？
林轩却没有管那么多，对方疯子也好，神经病也罢，与自己一点关系也无，他看重的只有一个，就是对方实力究竟如何？
Moreover, even if Lin Xuan had heard of his "reputation," what difference did it make? He wasn't a meek person; in fact, he had already destroyed Ice Spirit Demon Sovereign's soul fragment. Knowing that Ice Spirit was one of the nine true demons, with power comparable to an Immortal, Lin Xuan dared to offend her. A mere Flame Wolf Sovereign was nothing more than a fart.
zhè yì diǎn ” lín xuān pò qiè xū yào nòng qīng chǔ ” zhī jǐ zhī bǐ ， suí hòu cái cóng róng yìng fù 。
这一点”林轩迫切需要弄清楚”知己知彼，随后才从容应付。
Lin Xuan had endured countless trials and tribulations; his achievements today were not achieved by being scared easily.
xiǎng dào cǐ chù ， tā jiāng shén shí fàng chū ” zài duì fāng shēn shàng sǎo guò ” yāo huà zhě yīn wèi lì liàng shì lái zì yú róng hé mó jīng de yuán gù ， zài dòng shǒu qián ， shì kàn bù chū shēn qiǎn de 。
想到此处，他将神识放出”在对方身上扫过”妖化者因为力量是来自于融合魔晶的缘故，在动手前，是看不出深浅的。
Of course, he wasn't afraid, but he wouldn't underestimate this old fellow either. He was stronger than expected.
bìng bù xū yào shī zhǎn shén me liǎn qì shù ， jiù kě yǐ jiāng zì jǐ de xiū wèi ， cóng róng yǐn cáng diào le 。
并不需要施展什么敛气术，就可以将自己的修为，从容隐藏掉了。
Cave Profound后期!
rán ér ruò shì tā zì jǐ yuàn yì bào lù， jiāng qì shì wán quán shì fàng chū ， nà zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， zì rán yòu lìng zuò tā jiǎng 。
然而若是他自己愿意暴lù，将气势完全释放出，那这种情况，自然又另做他讲。
In the East Sea, three demon kings and six sea emperors were only at Cave Profound中期. The Holy City's ruler and Nine Immortal Palace's master had reached later stages, but due to various reasons, they had been assassinated. Even after escaping, their true late-stage power could not be fully unleashed.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ” yán láng zūn zhě jiù sī háo yě méi yǒu yǐn cáng shén me ” zhè lǎo jiā huǒ ， shuō fēng zi guò le ” dàn què rán xìng gé guāi lì ， bú shì yòng cháng lǐ kě yǐ chuǎi mó dì 。
此时此刻”炎狼尊者就丝毫也没有隐藏什么”这老家伙，说疯子过了”但确然xìng格乖戾，不是用常理可以揣摩地。
But this guy before him faced no such hindrances; he was the strongest enemy Lin Xuan had ever encountered since entering the Spirit Realm. That said, it was based on his cultivation realm. The soul fragment of Ice Spirit Demon Sovereign might have a lower realm but knew various mystical techniques—still formidable opponents.
tā xiōng míng yuǎn bō ， yóu qí shì xǐ huān shèng zhī bù wǔ ， bù guǎn nǐ shì dī jiē xiū xiān zhě ， hái shì fán rén ” tā dōu bú huì fàng guò ， wán quán bù jué dé qī fù ruò xiǎo ” běn shēn jiù shì hěn diū liǎn de 。
他凶名远播，尤其是喜欢胜之不武，不管你是低阶修仙者，还是凡人”他都不会放过，完全不觉得欺负弱小”本身就是很丢脸的。
Moreover, Lin Xuan felt that this Flame Wolf Sovereign was much stronger than ordinary late-stage cultivators. With the added factor of being a demonized entity, he had never faced such an opponent before. The experience in fighting against cultivators gave him significant advantages, making his position somewhat disadvantageous.
tā xǐ huān qī líng ruò xiǎo ， xǐ huān kàn bié rén tīng jiàn zì jǐ xiōng míng ， ér hún shēn fā dǒu de mú yàng ， zài pèi yǐ qiáng dà de qì shì ， nà zhèn hàn lì gèng shì wú yǔ lún bǐ 。
他喜欢欺凌弱小，喜欢看别人听见自己凶名，而浑身发抖的模样，在配以强大的气势，那震撼力更是无与伦比。
He must be cautious; otherwise, he might fall into the trap.
kě xī zhè yī cì ” yán láng zūn zhě shī wàng le 。
可惜这一次”炎狼尊者失望了。
Lin Xuan thought thus and would not make the same mistake again. He also felt some unease.
zài kào lóng jiè ， huò xǔ tā hái zhēn suàn dé shàng wēi míng yuǎn bō ” rán ér nà yòu rú hé ， lín xuān kě bú shì rèn rén qī fù de fán rén huò zhě xiǎo xiū xiān zhě ， hé kuàng tā shì chū dào guì dì ” yán láng zūn zhě de wēi míng zài rú hé liǎo bù qǐ ， tóu zěn yǒu yàng ne ？
在靠龙界，或许他还真算得上威名远播”然而那又如何，林轩可不是任人欺负的凡人或者小修仙者，何况他是初到贵地”炎狼尊者的威名再如何了不起，头怎友样呢？
Cultivator strength was greatly influenced by the realm they were in.
tā tīng dōu méi yǒu tīng guò ， jiù xiāng dāng yú pāo mèi yǎn gěi xiā zi kàn ” bù jǐn méi yǒu fēn háo yòng chǔ ， ér qiě shì huá jī kě xiào de 。
他听都没有听过，就相当于抛媚眼给瞎子看”不仅没有分毫用处，而且是滑稽可笑的。
This wasn't about high-stage cultivators' power but… let's use a metaphor!
zài shuō ” jiù suàn lín xuān tīng guò tā de “ wēi míng ”， yòu rú hé ， lín xuān yě bú shì shén me shěng yóu de zhǔ ér ” qián yī zhèn lián bīng pò mó zǔ de fēn hún dōu gěi miè le 。
再说”就算林轩听过他的“威名”，又如何，林轩也不是什么省油的主儿”前一阵连冰魄魔祖的分hún都给灭了。
If an Immortal Core初期 cultivator met one from the Human Realm, ten out of ten would lose to the Human Realm cultivator. The reason? Their cultivation methods and treasures were inferior.
yào zhī dào ， bīng pò ， kě shì chuán shuō zhōng de jiǔ wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ zhī yī ， shí lì kān yǔ sàn xiān xiāng bǐ ， lín xuān lián tā dōu gǎn dé zuì sǐ ， qū qū yán láng zūn zhě ， nà bù jiù shì gè pì 。
要知道，冰魄，可是传说中的九位真魔始祖之一，实力堪与散仙相比，林轩连她都敢得罪死，区区炎狼尊者，那不就是个屁。
The two key points put them at a disadvantage; who would win was clear.
lín xuān chuǎng guò duō shǎo xīng fēng xuè yǔ ， yǒu jīn tiān de chéng jiù dāng rán bú shì xià dà dì 。
林轩闯过多少腥风血雨，有今天的成就当然不是吓大地。
This applied to other same-stage cultivators as well.
dāng rán ， bù pà guī bù pà ” lín xuān duì zhè lǎo jiā huǒ ， yě bú huì yǒu sī háo de qīng shì zhī yì ， tā bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de ， hái yào qiáng dà yī xiē 。
当然，不怕归不怕”林轩对这老家伙，也不会有丝毫的轻视之意，他比自己想象的，还要强大一些。
The gap between the Human Realm and the East Sea was significant. Even if Lin Xuan hadn't seen late-stage cultivators in the East Sea weakened, he believed they wouldn’t stand a chance against their peers even if placed in the Dragon's Lair Realm due to those two key points.
dòng xuán hòu qī ！
洞玄后期！
So, the strength of late-stage cultivators from the East Sea wasn't worth considering for his current situation.
yào zhī dào zài dōng hǎi ， sān yāo wáng ” liù hǎi huáng yě bù guò shì dòng xuán zhōng qī de cún zài ， ér shèng chéng zhī zhǔ ， jiǔ xiān gōng zhǔ ， suī rán dá dào le hòu qī ， dàn què yīn wèi zhǒng zhǒng yuán gù ， bèi àn suàn diào le ， jí shǐ hòu lái tuō kùn ér chū ， yě gēn běn fā huī bù chū zhēn zhèng dòng xuán hòu qī shí lì lái de 。
要知道在东海，三妖王”六海皇也不过是洞玄中期的存在，而圣城之主，九仙宫主，虽然达到了后期，但却因为种种缘故，被暗算掉了，即使后来脱困而出，也根本发挥不出真正洞玄后期实力来的。
Lin Xuan was not an arrogant person. He had already thought through everything before acting. Knowing oneself and one’s enemy was necessary but required accurate self-assessment.
ér yǎn qián zhè jiā huo ， què méi yǒu rèn hé chè zhǒu ， shì zì jǐ tà rù líng jiè yǐ lái ， suǒ miàn duì de zuì qiáng dí rén le ， dāng rán ， nà shì jiù jìng jiè lái shuō ， xiàng bīng pò mó zǔ fēn hún， jìng jiè suī rán bú shì hěn gāo ” dàn huì gè zhǒng shén miào mì shù ” nà tóng yàng shì nán chán dé jǐn de 。
而眼前这家伙，却没有任何掣肘，是自己踏入灵界以来，所面对的最强敌人了，当然，那是就境界来说，像冰魄魔祖分hún，境界虽然不是很高”但会各种神妙秘术”那同样是难缠得紧的。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan's expression remained calm and steady as he looked into Flame Wolf Sovereign's eyes. His voice was clear and deliberate: "Are you a late-stage demonized entity?"
ér qiě lín xuān yǒu yī zhǒng gǎn jué ， zhè wèi yán láng zūn zhě ， bǐ yì bān de hòu qī xiū shì ， yào qiáng dà dé duō ， jiā shàng yāo huà zhě ， zì jǐ cóng lái bù céng miàn duì guò ， ér duì fāng yǔ xiū xiān zhě dòu fǎ de jīng yàn ， què míng xiǎn fěi qiǎn ， zhè yì diǎn shàng ， zì jǐ yě chī kuī bù shǎo de 。
而且林轩有一种感觉，这位炎狼尊者，比一般的后期修士，要强大得多，加上妖化者，自己从来不曾面对过，而对方与修仙者斗法的经验，却明显匪浅，这一点上，自己也吃亏不少的。
His tone conveyed no emotion; it seemed like he was merely stating a fact.
bì xū xiǎo xīn yìng fù ” fǒu zé shuō bù dìng hái zhēn huì yīn gōu lǐ fān chuán 。
必须小心应付”否则说不定还真会yīn沟里翻船。
In reality, the cultivation晋级 of demonized entities differed entirely from that of cultivators. They were only classified together for convenience.
lín xuān rú cǐ zhè bān de xiǎng zhe ， tā yǐ jīng xiǎo kàn guò duì fāng yī cì ， jué bú huì zài fàn dì èr cì cuò wù 。
林轩如此这般的想着，他已经小看过对方一次，绝不会再犯第二次错误。
There were no hidden secrets; they simply divided them based on simplicity.
ér qiě lín xuān de xīn lǐ ， hái yǒu yì diǎn bù ān 。
而且林轩的心里，还有一点不安。
Flame Wolf Sovereign's displeasure was evident in Lin Xuan’s expression. He had hoped to see fear and trembling but found himself disappointed. Lin Xuan's calm demeanor made him even more agitated.
xiū shì de shí lì ， yǔ jiè miàn qí shí yǒu hěn dà de guān xì 。
修士的实力，与界面其实有很大的关系。
"Is it because you're not afraid, or are you so terrified that you’re trying to maintain your composure?"
zhè lǐ bú shì zhǐ gāo jiē xiū shì de shí lì ， ér shì ……， dǎ yí gè bǐ fāng ba ！
这里不是指高阶修士的实力，而是……，打一个比方吧！
"Do I seem like someone who would be scared?"
rén jiè yǔ dōng hǎi ， rú guǒ yuán yīng chū qī de xiū shì zhuàng zài yì qǐ ， chū shǒu bǐ dòu yī fān ， shí zhī **” dōu shì rén jiè xiū shì dà bài kuī shū 。
人界与东海，如果元婴初期的修士撞在一起，出手比斗一番，十之**”都是人界修士大败亏输。
Lin Xuan smiled. He had already read the enemy’s character—a highly arrogant individual.
wú tā ， gōng fǎ méi yǒu duì fāng xuán ào ” fǎ bǎo yě bù jí duì fāng hǎo 。
无他，功法没有对方玄奥”法宝也不及对方好。
To deal with such a person, one must first undermine their confidence before they could falter.
zuì zhòng yào de liǎng diǎn jiē chǔ yú liè shì ” shuí shèng shuí fù kě xiǎng ér zhī 。
最重要的两点皆处于劣势”谁胜谁负可想而知。
Sure enough, Lin Xuan's casual response made Flame Wolf Sovereign extremely displeased. This wasn't about his composure; it was sheer anger: "You're not afraid of me? Why aren't you afraid? I've already killed countless early-stage Cave Profound cultivators like you. Although the true form can’t extract your soul, there are many ways to make your life a living hell."
qí tā děng jí de tóng jiē xiū shì yù zài yì qǐ ， nà jié guǒ yě shì yī yàng dì 。
其他等级的同阶修士遇在一起，那结果也是一样地。
"Is that so?" Lin Xuan said calmly, though he was internally exasperated. Indeed, as YuanYuan had said, this guy was truly mad and incomprehensible. Cultivators rise early for profit, but this guy's enemies were inexplicably numerous.
rén jiè yǔ dōng hǎi de chā jù shì rú cǐ ， nà líng jiè gè jiè miàn zhī jiān de chā jù ， nà hé cháng yòu bú shì yī yàng dì 。
人界与东海的差距是如此，那灵界各界面之间的差距，那何尝又不是一样地。
Flame Wolf Sovereign posed no real threat to Lin Xuan; it was like punching a cotton ball—ineffective and only causing him unease.
dōng hǎi yǔ hàn lóng jiè ， gēn běn jiù bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。
东海与翰龙界，根本就不可同日而语。
Lin Xuan hadn't encountered such an enemy before. After looking at Flame Wolf Sovereign twice, his confidence wavered.
bú yào shuō ， zì jǐ zài dōng hǎi jiàn dào de dòng xuán hòu qī xiū shì ， shí lì shì shòu dào le xuē ruò ” jiù suàn méi yǒu ” lín xuān xiāng xìn ， jiāng tā men fàng dào hàn lóng jiè ， hái shì dǎ bù guò tóng jiē xiū shì 。
不要说，自己在东海见到的洞玄后期修士，实力是受到了削弱”就算没有”林轩相信，将他们放到翰龙界，还是打不过同阶修士。
And Lin Xuan clearly saw the subtle changes in his expression. This guy really did have some issues. He was unlucky to meet this problem just as he entered a new realm.
yuán yīn yī jiù shì shàng miàn liǎng diǎn ， gōng fǎ bù jí ， fǎ bǎo yě ruò 。
原因依旧是上面两点，功法不及，法宝也弱。
"Comrade, we've had no grudges or grievances; fighting won't benefit either of us. How about we call it quits?" Lin Xuan said slowly.
suǒ yǐ dōng hǎi dòng xuán qī xiū shì de shí lì ， qí shí gēn běn jiù bù zú yǐ ná gěi zì jǐ xiàn zài zuò kǎo liáng dì 。
所以东海洞玄期修士的实力，其实根本就不足以拿给自己现在做考量地。
"Call it quits?" Flame Wolf Sovereign laughed arrogantly: "Fine, but unless you agree to leave the woman beside you behind, otherwise…"
lín xuān bú shì shén me jiāo ào zì dà de rén wù ， fǎn ér zài dòng shǒu yǐ qián ， jiù yǐ jīng jiāng yī qiè xiǎng qīng chǔ ， jǐn jǐn shì zhī jǐ zhī bǐ shì bù gòu dì ， hái xū yào zhǔn què de dìng wèi zì jǐ 。
林轩不是什么骄傲自大的人物，反而在动手以前，就已经将一切想清楚，仅仅是知己知彼是不够地，还需要准确的定位自己。
There was no 'otherwise.' At this point, there was nothing left to discuss. Lin Xuan couldn't tolerate such an insult in front of his face; he wasn’t afraid, just didn't want to fight for no reason.
zhū bān niàn tou shǎn guò ， lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng shì zhèn dìng ér chén wěn de ， kàn zhe duì fāng de shuāng mù ， yī zì yī dùn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ nǐ shì dòng xuán hòu qī de yāo huà zhě ？”
诸般念头闪过，林轩脸上的表情是镇定而沉稳的，看着对方的双目，一字一顿的声音传入耳朵：“你是洞玄后期的妖化者？”
Damn it!
shēng yīn tīng bù chū xǐ nù ， sì hū zhǐ shì zài xù shù yī píng cháng de shì shí bà le 。
声音听不出喜怒，似乎只是在叙述一平常的事实罢了。
Regardless if this guy was mad or not, Lin Xuan wouldn't tolerate it. Talking nonsense would have consequences.
qí shí yāo huà zhě de xiū liàn jìn jí ， yǔ xiū xiān zhě shì wán quán bù tóng dì ， zhǐ bù guò wèi le hǎo qū fēn ” jiāng tā men huà guī dào yí gè xiū liàn tǐ xì 。
其实妖化者的修炼晋级，与修仙者是完全不同地，只不过为了好区分”将他们划归到一个修炼体系。
Since deciding to act, Lin Xuan had no hesitation. The first strike was the best choice.
zhè zhōng jiān méi yǒu bié de yǐn mì ， zhǐ bù guò shì bào zhe zěn yàng jiǎn dān zěn yàng huà fēn ér yǐ 。
这中间没有别的隐秘，只不过是抱着怎样简单怎样划分而已。
With a wave of his sleeves, countless leaf-shaped treasures flew out, and Iron Feather Flying Locust Blades shot towards him with intense light.
ér lín xuān de biǎo qíng ， què ràng yán láng zūn zhě bù shuǎng yǐ jí ” tā yuán běn xiǎng yào kàn dào duì fāng wèi jù ， sè sè fā dǒu shì zuì hǎo dì ， nǎ zhī dào zhè chéng le shē wàng ” duì fāng de yìng duì ， nà shì zhèn dìng cóng róng yǐ jí ， lín xuān de zhè fú biǎo qíng ， fǎn ér ràng tā yǒu xiē chén bú zhù qì 。
而林轩的表情，却让炎狼尊者不爽以极”他原本想要看到对方畏惧，瑟瑟发抖是最好地，哪知道这成了奢望”对方的应对，那是镇定从容以极，林轩的这幅表情，反而让他有些沉不住气。
The piercing sound echoed as if to startle anyone who heard it.
“ zěn me ， nǐ bù pà wǒ ， hái shì xīn zhōng yǐ wèi jù dào jí chù ， zhǐ bù guò zài qiáng zì zhèn dìng bà le ？”
“怎么，你不怕我，还是心中已畏惧到极处，只不过在强自镇定罢了？”
This appeared to be a fatal situation for Lin Xuan but was merely a test. He had never fought demonized entities before; he didn't know their combat methods differed from cultivators, so he needed to probe further.
“ nǐ jué de xiàng me ？”
“你觉得像么？”
Lin Xuan didn’t expect the Iron Feather Flying Locust Blades to defeat him; he only hoped to gauge his strength.
lín xuān xiào le ， tā yǐ jīng bǎ wò dào dí rén de xìng gé ， zhè shì yí gè jí duān zì dà de jiā huo 。
林轩笑了，他已经把握到敌人的xìng格，这是一个极端自大的家伙。
Facing the barrage of treasures, Flame Wolf Sovereign's expression darkened. This wasn't what he wanted. He had aimed for a non-combat victory but now couldn't.
duì fù zhè zhǒng rén ， jiù yào xiān jiāng tā de xìn xīn dǎ diào ” rán hòu cái néng ràng qí zì luàn zhèn jiǎo 。
对付这种人，就要先将他的信心打掉”然后才能让其自乱阵脚。
Anger flashed in his eyes as he waved his sleeves, sending out waves of heat that enveloped him in a fiery cloud. His aura vanished, and even Lin Xuan’s divine sense could not detect anything.
Stupid fellow, since you've met the true form of this Sovereign, do you think I'll let you escape?
The cruel expression flashed across Flame Wolf Sovereign's face. Without any action, a terrifying wolf head凝聚 from the fiery waves behind him.
This wolf head was much larger than the one Lin Xuan had shattered earlier, occupying half of the sky. It then opened its blood-red maw and spat out several crimson light balls with diameters of seven to eight zhang.
Boom!
The light balls fell into Star Peak City, spreading flames that turned the hit areas into a sea of fire.
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he saw this. He had also endured the harsh trials of the world, so he wouldn't show any mercy.
But Lin Xuan followed the principle of not striking first unless struck. He never relied on his strength to indiscriminately kill innocents. Those who deserved death in his hands were few and far between, but this Flame Wolf Sovereign actually attacked ordinary humans as well.
The fleeing cultivators fared even worse. Several red claws appeared in Lin Xuan's line of sight, easily taking their heads off.
Those who had chosen to run for a gap found themselves on the path to hell, dying faster than before.
"Madman, this guy is nothing but a madman."
A murmured voice entered his ears. As a regional lord, she had spent more years in the cultivation world than Lin Xuan, and had seen many tumultuous events. Such a person was unprecedented—using high-stage cultivators' strength to bully ordinary people; what kind of hero or righteous man could that be?
They say cultivators rise early for profit, but doing this brought him no benefits at all. Wasn't he just throwing媚eyes at the blind? Not only useless, but laughable.
Moreover, even if Lin Xuan had heard of his "reputation," what difference did it make? He wasn't a meek person; in fact, he had already destroyed Ice Spirit Demon Sovereign's soul fragment. Knowing that Ice Spirit was one of the nine true demons, with power comparable to an Immortal, Lin Xuan dared to offend her. A mere Flame Wolf Sovereign was nothing more than a fart.
Lin Xuan had endured countless trials and tribulations; his achievements today were not achieved by being scared easily.
Of course, he wasn't afraid, but he wouldn't underestimate this old fellow either. He was stronger than expected.
Cave Profound后期!
In the East Sea, three demon kings and six sea emperors were only at Cave Profound中期. The Holy City's ruler and Nine Immortal Palace's master had reached later stages, but due to various reasons, they had been assassinated. Even after escaping, their true late-stage power could not be fully unleashed.
But this guy before him faced no such hindrances; he was the strongest enemy Lin Xuan had ever encountered since entering the Spirit Realm. That said, it was based on his cultivation realm. The soul fragment of Ice Spirit Demon Sovereign might have a lower realm but knew various mystical techniques—still formidable opponents.
Moreover, Lin Xuan felt that this Flame Wolf Sovereign was much stronger than ordinary late-stage cultivators. With the added factor of being a demonized entity, he had never faced such an opponent before. The experience in fighting against cultivators gave him significant advantages, making his position somewhat disadvantageous.
He must be cautious; otherwise, he might fall into the trap.
Lin Xuan thought thus and would not make the same mistake again. He also felt some unease.
Cultivator strength was greatly influenced by the realm they were in.
This wasn't about high-stage cultivators' power but… let's use a metaphor!
If an Immortal Core初期 cultivator met one from the Human Realm, ten out of ten would lose to the Human Realm cultivator. The reason? Their cultivation methods and treasures were inferior.
The two key points put them at a disadvantage; who would win was clear.
This applied to other same-stage cultivators as well.
The gap between the Human Realm and the East Sea was significant. Even if Lin Xuan hadn't seen late-stage cultivators in the East Sea weakened, he believed they wouldn’t stand a chance against their peers even if placed in the Dragon's Lair Realm due to those two key points.
So, the strength of late-stage cultivators from the East Sea wasn't worth considering for his current situation.
Lin Xuan was not an arrogant person. He had already thought through everything before acting. Knowing oneself and one’s enemy was necessary but required accurate self-assessment.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan's expression remained calm and steady as he looked into Flame Wolf Sovereign's eyes. His voice was clear and deliberate: "Are you a late-stage demonized entity?"
His tone conveyed no emotion; it seemed like he was merely stating a fact.
In reality, the cultivation晋级 of demonized entities differed entirely from that of cultivators. They were only classified together for convenience.
There were no hidden secrets; they simply divided them based on simplicity.
Flame Wolf Sovereign's displeasure was evident in Lin Xuan’s expression. He had hoped to see fear and trembling but found himself disappointed. Lin Xuan's calm demeanor made him even more agitated.
"Is it because you're not afraid, or are you so terrified that you’re trying to maintain your composure?"
"Do I seem like someone who would be scared?"
Lin Xuan smiled. He had already read the enemy’s character—a highly arrogant individual.
To deal with such a person, one must first undermine their confidence before they could falter.
Sure enough, Lin Xuan's casual response made Flame Wolf Sovereign extremely displeased. This wasn't about his composure; it was sheer anger: "You're not afraid of me? Why aren't you afraid? I've already killed countless early-stage Cave Profound cultivators like you. Although the true form can’t extract your soul, there are many ways to make your life a living hell."
"Is that so?" Lin Xuan said calmly, though he was internally exasperated. Indeed, as YuanYuan had said, this guy was truly mad and incomprehensible. Cultivators rise early for profit, but this guy's enemies were inexplicably numerous.
Flame Wolf Sovereign posed no real threat to Lin Xuan; it was like punching a cotton ball—ineffective and only causing him unease.
Lin Xuan hadn't encountered such an enemy before. After looking at Flame Wolf Sovereign twice, his confidence wavered.
And Lin Xuan clearly saw the subtle changes in his expression. This guy really did have some issues. He was unlucky to meet this problem just as he entered a new realm.
"Comrade, we've had no grudges or grievances; fighting won't benefit either of us. How about we call it quits?" Lin Xuan said slowly.
"Call it quits?" Flame Wolf Sovereign laughed arrogantly: "Fine, but unless you agree to leave the woman beside you behind, otherwise…"
There was no 'otherwise.' At this point, there was nothing left to discuss. Lin Xuan couldn't tolerate such an insult in front of his face; he wasn’t afraid, just didn't want to fight for no reason.
Damn it!
Regardless if this guy was mad or not, Lin Xuan wouldn't tolerate it. Talking nonsense would have consequences.
Since deciding to act, Lin Xuan had no hesitation. The first strike was the best choice.
With a wave of his sleeves, countless leaf-shaped treasures flew out, and Iron Feather Flying Locust Blades shot towards him with intense light.
The piercing sound echoed as if to startle anyone who heard it.
This appeared to be a fatal situation for Lin Xuan but was merely a test. He had never fought demonized entities before; he didn't know their combat methods differed from cultivators, so he needed to probe further.
Lin Xuan didn’t expect the Iron Feather Flying Locust Blades to defeat him; he only hoped to gauge his strength.
Facing the barrage of treasures, Flame Wolf Sovereign's expression darkened. This wasn't what he wanted. He had aimed for a non-combat victory but now couldn't.
Anger flashed in his eyes as he waved his sleeves, sending out waves of heat that enveloped him in a fiery cloud. His aura vanished, and even Lin Xuan’s divine sense could not detect anything.
