zhè lǎo guài wù ， dǎo shì yī hěn lì guǒ jué de rén wù ， yī jiàn xíng jì bào lù， lì kè sī háo yóu yù méi yǒu de dòng shǒu ， bàn diǎn fèi huà dōu méi yǒu 。
这老怪物，倒是一狠厉果决的人物，一见行迹暴lù，立刻丝毫犹豫没有的动手，半点废话都没有。
This old monster was a ruthless and decisive character. Upon spotting the telltale signs of his approach, he immediately acted without hesitation or idle chatter.
nà bái gǔ jiàn jiā zá zhe wú jìn de yīn qì ， qǐng kè zhī jiān ， jiù yǐ pī dào le miàn qián 。
那白骨剑夹杂着无尽的yīn气，顷刻之间，就已劈到了面前。
The white bone sword, filled with endless阴气, sliced through the air in an instant, already approaching Lin Xuan's position.
lín xuān xiàn rù wēi jī ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng què píng jìng yǐ jí ， bìng méi yǒu jiāng rèn hé bǎo wù jì qǐ ， ér shì jiān tóu wēi wēi yī dǒu 。
林轩陷入危机，脸上的表情却平静以极，并没有将任何宝物祭起，而是肩头微微一抖。
Lin Xuan found himself in peril, but his expression remained calm as he did not summon any treasures. Instead, his shoulders twitched slightly.
dùn shí ， tā yuán běn zhàn lì zhī chù ， kōng jiān bō wén dàng yàng ér chū ， jiù rú tóng jiāng yī méi shí zǐ tóu xiàng píng jìng de xiǎo hú ， lín xuān de cán yǐng hái zài yuǎn chù ， dàn rén yǐ xiāo shī dé zōng jì quán wú 。
顿时，他原本站立之处，空间bō纹dàng漾而出，就如同将一枚石子投向平静的小湖，林轩的残影还在远处，但人已消失得踪迹全无。
Instantly, ripples of space spread out from where he had been standing, like a stone being thrown into a tranquil lake. Lin Xuan’s shadow was still far away, yet the man vanished without a trace.
fǎng fú kuáng fēng cóng xiá gǔ zhōng guā guò ， lìng rén yá suān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà bái gǔ jiàn yǐ cóng lín xuān zhōu cái zhàn lì zhī dì zhǎn guò ， rán ér bèi pāo yì dāo liǎng duàn de bù guò shì cán yǐng bà le ， ér qí zhēn shēn ， zǎo yǐ bù zhī dào dùn wǎng le hé chù 。
仿佛狂风从峡谷中刮过，令人牙酸的声音传入耳朵，那白骨剑已从林轩州才站立之地斩过，然而被抛一刀两断的不过是残影罢了，而其真身，早已不知道遁往了何处。
A sound akin to howling winds swept through the valley, piercing his ears. The white bone sword had already sliced through where Lin Xuan had just stood, but it only severed his shadow. His true form had long since disappeared into thin air.
shùn yí ！
瞬移！
Teleportation!
nà rú shēng dǎ bàn de xiū shì yǎn jīng wēi mī ， rán ér xià yī kè ， kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ ， lín xuān yǐ chū xiàn zài le tā de shēn cè 。
那儒生打扮的修士眼睛微眯，然而下一刻，空间bō动骤起，林轩已出现在了他的身侧。
The scholar-like cultivator’s eyes narrowed slightly. However, in the next moment, ripples of space surged, and Lin Xuan appeared beside him.
bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān hún shēn shàng xià yāo qì dà zuò ， zhǐ jiàn líng guāng yī shǎn ， tā de zuǒ shǒu de xíng zhuàng yǐ jīng fā shēng le gǎi biàn ， yī yāo qín lì zhuǎ bān de dōng xī chū xiàn zài miàn qián 。
爆裂声传入耳朵，林轩浑身上下妖气大做，只见灵光一闪，他的左手的形状已经发生了改变，一妖禽利爪般的东西出现在面前。
A爆裂 sound echoed as Lin Xuan emitted a demonic aura. A flash of light revealed that his left hand had transformed into something akin to a bird's talon. He swung it, sending a piercing sound through the air. Green claw-like projections emerged, shooting towards the opponent.
suí hòu lüè yī huī wǔ ， pò kōng shēng yuè fā de cì ěr le ， wú shù lǜ sè de zhǎo máng fú xiàn ér chū ， xiàng zhe duì fāng jī è shè 。
随后略一挥舞，破空声越发的刺耳了，无数绿sè的爪芒浮现而出，向着对方jī垩射。
At such close range, the scholar could not dodge; he was hit by the dazzling claws and turned into a honeycomb of wounds.
zhè me jìn de jù lí ， nà rú shēng gēn běn jiù duǒ wú kě duǒ ， zhí jiē bèi yào mù de zhǎo máng dǎ chéng le fēng wō 。
这么近的距离，那儒生根本就躲无可躲，直接被耀目的爪芒打成了蜂窝。
Lin Xuan’s attack did not end there. His right hand rose, swiftly descending downwards. A green sword light, several feet long, appeared as it slashed at the opponent's head.
lín xuān de gōng jī hái méi yǒu jié shù ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， suí hòu xùn sù cháo zhe xià fāng huī là xià qù ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， yī dào zhǎng zhàng xǔ de qīng sè jiàn guāng fú xiàn ér chū ， hěn hěn pī cì xiàng duì fāng de tóu lú 。
林轩的攻击还没有结束，右手抬起，随后迅速朝着下方挥落下去，随着他的动作，一道长丈许的青sè剑光浮现而出，狠狠劈刺像对方的头颅。
The opponent was still an Inner Profound cultivator; he had been severely injured by Lin Xuan’s previous strike but was far from on the brink of death.
duì fāng bì jìng shì dòng xuán jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， gāng cái nà lì jī ， ràng tā zhòng shāng bù nán ， dàn lí yǔn luò ， hái shì yǒu nà me yī duàn jù lí de 。
对方毕竟是洞玄级别的修仙者，刚才那力击，让他重伤不难，但离陨落，还是有那么一段距离的。
"Rascal!"
“ ěr gǎn ”
“尔敢”
A sharp cry came from beside them. The other two were not alone; the阴厉 cultivator and the woman in艳妆 would not watch their companion perish. With a roar, they both launched attacks.
páng biān què chuán lái yī shēng lì hē ， duì fāng bìng fēi gū jiā guǎ rén yí gè ，yīn lì xiū shì yǔ yàn zhuāng nǚ zǐ zì rán bú huì kàn zhe tóng bàn yǔn luò ， zài yī shēng dà hǒu zhī hòu ， dōu jiē lián chū shǒu 。
旁边却传来一声厉喝，对方并非孤家寡人一个，yīn厉修士与艳妆女子自然不会看着同伴陨落，在一声大吼之后，都接连出手。
The green sword light had barely left his hand when several gray-green sword lights and black beams intercepted it, creating bursts of explosions mid-air.
nà qīng sè jiàn qì cái gāng gāng tuō shǒu ， jiù yíng miàn fēi lái de jǐ dào qīng huī sè jiàn guāng yǐ jí hēi máng lán jié le xià lái ， bìng fā chū zhèn zhèn bào liè shēng zài bàn kōng zhōng jiū chán 。
那青sè剑气才刚刚脱手，就迎面飞来的几道青灰sè剑光以及黑芒拦截了下来，并发出阵阵爆裂声在半空中纠缠。
Taking advantage of this momentary distraction, Lin Xuan vanished again.
rán ér chèn zhe zhè kòng xì ， lín xuān shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yǐ zài cì xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
然而趁着这空隙，林轩身形一闪，已再次消失不见。
From past experience to present caution, the scholar-like cultivator’s companions were alarmed. They quickly summoned their defensive treasures as they raised their heads.
qián shì bù wàng hòu shì zhī shī ， gāng gāng nà rú shēng cái bèi tōu xí ， cǐ kè jiàn lín xuān gù jì zhòng shī ， sān rén dà jīng zhī xià ， bù qiú yǒu gōng ， dàn qiú wú guò ， lián máng jiāng shǒu zhōng de fáng yù fǎ bǎo jì chū ， suí hòu cái shén sè yī huǎn de tái qǐ tóu lú 。
前事不忘后事之师，刚刚那儒生才被偷袭，此刻见林轩故技重施，三人大惊之下，不求有功，但求无过，连忙将手中的防御法宝祭出，随后才神sè一缓的抬起头颅。
"Bad luck, his target is..."
“ bù hǎo ， tā de mù biāo rú ……”
“不好，他的目标如……”
Upon seeing where Lin Xuan was, the woman in艳妆's expression changed dramatically. However, it was too late to stop him; a brilliant light shot out from his sleeve and transformed into a grayish-misty hurricane that enveloped the teleportation array they had just used.
dāng kàn qīng chǔ lín xuān shēn chù hé dì ， nà yàn zhuāng nǚ zǐ bó rán biàn sè， rán ér zǔ zhǐ yǐ jīng lái bù jí ， yī dào yào mù de guāng xiá cóng lín xuān de yī xiù zhōng fēi lüè ér chū ， yí gè zhuǎn zhé ， yǐ huà wèi yī dào huī méngméng de jù fēng ， jiāng gāng gāng sān rén shǐ yòng guò de chuán sòng zhèn bāo guǒ 。
当看清楚林轩身处何地，那艳妆女子勃然变sè，然而阻止已经来不及，一道耀目的光霞从林轩的衣袖中飞掠而出，一个转折，已化为一道灰méngméng的飓风，将刚刚三人使用过的传送阵包裹。
A sound of shattering filled their ears. When the hurricane dissipated, the teleportation array was completely destroyed.
xī lǐ huā lā de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dāng jù fēng sàn kāi ， chuán sòng zhèn yǐ huà wèi le fěn mò ， wán quán bèi cuī huǐ diào le 。
稀里哗啦的声音传入耳朵，当飓风散开，传送阵已化为了粉末，完全被摧毁掉了。
With Lin Xuan’s strength, he would not be intimidated even by three Inner Profound cultivators. However, if reinforcements arrived, it could become troublesome.
yǐ lín xuān de shí lì lái shuō ， jí shǐ duì shàng sān míng dòng xuán qī lǎo guài wù ， yě bú huì dǎ chù ， rán ér duì fāng ruò zài yǒu yuán bīng lái dào cǐ chù ， kě jiù má fán le 。
以林轩的实力来说，即使对上三名洞玄期老怪物，也不会打怵，然而对方若再有援兵来到此处，可就麻烦了。
Thus, Lin Xuan feigned an attack on one side while destroying this heart of the matter first.
yú shì ， lín xuān shēng dōng jī xī ， xiān jiāng zhè xīn fù zhī huàn huǐ qù 。
于是，林轩声东击西，先将这心腹之患毁去。
The faces of the three members of the Heavenly Corpse Sect were extremely displeased, especially the scholar-like old monster who had been severely injured by Lin Xuan’s earlier ambush. His face now showed signs of extreme frustration and anger.
tiān shī mén sān rén de liǎn sè nán kàn yǐ jí ， yóu qí shì nà rú páo lǎo guài wù ， yī zhe bù shèn ， jiù bèi lín xuān zhòng chuāng diào le ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， liǎn shàng gèng shì lù chū qì jí bài huài zhī sè。
天尸门三人的脸sè难看以极，尤其是那儒袍老怪物，一着不慎，就被林轩重创掉了，此时此刻，脸上更是lù出气急败坏之sè。
He slapped his waist, affixing a gray-white talisman to his body, then swallowed several pills. The bleeding slowed down significantly.
tā zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， qǔ chū yī zhāng huī bái sè de fú zhuàn tiē zài shēn tǐ shàng miàn ， suí hòu yòu tūn le jǐ lì yào wán ， dùn shí ， xuè liú jiǎn huǎn 。
他在腰间一拍，取出一张灰白sè的符篆贴在身体上面，随后又吞了几粒药丸，顿时，血流减缓。
His injuries were temporarily under control, but his strength would be somewhat affected in this state.
shāng shì zàn shí bèi kòng zhì ， dāng rán ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， shí lì duō shǎo huì shòu yī xiē yǐng xiǎng 。
伤势暂时被控制，当然，这种情况下，实力多少会受一些影响。
However, that was fine; they had three people. It was just because of their carelessness. Once they took it seriously, the opponent, with only one person, could not match them, three Inner Profound cultivators.
bù guò méi yǒu guān xì ， tā men yǒu sān rén zhī duō ， zhōu cái shì yīn wèi tài dà yì le ， yí dàn rèn zhēn qǐ lái ， duì fāng yǐ yī rén zhī lì ， jué bù kě néng yǔ tā men sān míng dòng xuán qī gāo shǒu xiàng kàng héng dì 。
不过没有关系，他们有三人之多，州才是因为太大意了，一旦认真起来，对方以一人之力，绝不可能与他们三名洞玄期高手相抗衡地。
"Boy, I will extract your soul and essence to make you regret coming into this world."
“ xiǎo zi ， lǎo fū yào jiāng nǐ chōu hún liàn pò ， ràng nǐ hòu huǐ lái dào zhè ge shì jiè shàng de 。”
“小子，老夫要将你抽hún炼魄，让你后悔来到这个世界上的。”
A sinister look flashed across the scholar-like cultivator’s face; he hated Lin Xuan deeply.
nà rú shēng liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī zhēng níng zhī sè， tā yǐ jīng hèn lín xuān rù gǔ 。
那儒生脸上闪过一丝狰狞之sè，他已经恨林轩入骨。
"Is that so? But I doubt you have such power. Why don’t you hand over your life to me, friend? I can ensure a painless death for you. Do you want to consider this deal?" Lin Xuan's smiling voice echoed in their ears.
“ shì me ， bù guò gé xià kǒng pà méi yǒu zhè yàng de shí lì ， bù rú dào yǒu jiāng diāo zhǔ mìng jiāo dào lín mǒu de shǒu lǐ ， wǒ bǎo zhèng ràng nǐ háo wú tòng kǔ de sǐ qù ， zhè ge jiāo yì ， dào yǒu yào bù yào hǎo hǎo kǎo lǜ kǎo lǜ 。” lín xuān wēi xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
“是么，不过阁下恐怕没有这样的实力，不如道友将刁丶命交到林某的手里，我保证让你毫无痛苦的死去，这个交易，道友要不要好好考虑考虑。”林轩微笑的声音传入耳朵里。
"You talk too much. Do you think you can win just by words?"
“ yóu zuǐ huá shé ， nǐ yǐ wéi píng zuǐ pí zi jiù kě yǐ huò shèng me ？”
“油嘴滑舌，你以为凭嘴皮子就可以获胜么？”
The scholar-like cultivator became even more furious. He pointed his finger forward, and crackling sounds filled the air. The white bone sword’s surface flickered with light, transforming into a pen shape.
nà rú páo xiū shì yuè fā fèn nù ， yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū ， pī lǐ pā lā de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà gǔ jiàn biǎo miàn líng guāng shǎn shuò ， jū rán biàn chéng yī gān máo bǐ de xíng zhuàng le 。
那儒袍修士越发愤怒，一指向前点出，噼里啪啦的声音传入耳朵，那骨剑表面灵光闪烁，居然变成一杆毛笔的形状了。
"Hmm?"
“ yí ？”
“咦？”
Lin Xuan was taken aback; he had never encountered such a situation where his innate treasure could change its form during combat.
lín xuān yī è ， běn mìng fǎ bǎo zài dòu fǎ de shí hòu hái kě yǐ gǎi biàn xíng zhuàng me ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng tā yǐ qián hái cóng méi yǒu yù dào 。
林轩一愕，本命法宝在斗法的时候还可以改变形状么，这种情况他以前还从没有遇到。
But that mattered little; he would deal with it as it came. He waved his sleeve and also summoned his treasures. The Heavenly Moon Ring flew out, circling him.
bù guò nà yòu rú hé ， bīng lái jiāng dǎng ， shuǐ lái tǔ yǎn bà le ， xiù páo yī fú ， lín xuān yě jì chū le bǎo wù ， wú tiān míng yuè huán yǐ fēi lüè ér chū ， zài tā shēn cè pán xuán fēi wǔ 。
不过那又如何，兵来将挡，水来土掩罢了，袖袍一拂，林轩也祭出了宝物，无天明月环已飞掠而出，在他身侧盘旋飞舞。
"Quickly"
“ jí ”
“疾”
Lin Xuan’s ten fingers flicked rapidly, sending several magical formulas from his fingertips.
lín xuān shí zhǐ fēn dàn ， jǐ dào fǎ jué jī è shè chū zhǐ jiān 。
林轩十指纷弹，几道法诀jī垩射出指尖。
As he moved, the light around the Heavenly Moon Ring grew even more dazzling. Nearby primordial energy converged towards it, rushing into the treasure.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， wú tiān míng yuè huán biǎo miàn de guāng yùn yuè fā de duó mù le ， suí hòu fù jìn de tiān dì yuán qì ， cháo zhe zhè biān jù jí ， fēng yōng jìn le bǎo wù lǐ 。
随着他的动作，无天明月环表面的光晕越发的夺目了，随后附近的天地元气，朝着这边聚集，蜂拥进了宝物里。
A grayish-misty hurricane emerged, sweeping across the sky and ground, charging at the opponent with ferocity.
yī dào bái méngméng de jù fēng fú xiàn ér chū ， lián tiān jiē dì ， xiàng zhe duì fāng kuáng sǎo ér qù 。
一道白méngméng的飓风浮现而出，连天接地，向着对方狂扫而去。
"Trivial tricks; you dare to show off here."
“ diāo chóng xiǎo jì ， yě gǎn zài zhè lǐ mài nòng 。”
“雕虫小技，也敢在这里卖弄。”
The scholar-like cultivator roared. His hands moved rapidly as well. The white bone sword’s transformed treasures began to write in flowing strokes, producing one after another of the characters.
rú shēng yī shēng dà hē ， liǎng shǒu yě shì huàng dòng bù yǐ ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， nà bái gǔ jiàn biàn huà chū lái de bǎo wù kāi shǐ bǐ zǒu lóng shé ， yí gè yí gè de fú wén fú xiàn ér chū 。
儒生一声大喝，两手也是晃动不已，随着他的动作，那白骨剑变化出来的宝物开始笔走龙蛇，一个一个的符文浮现而出。
"What...?"
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
Lin Xuan recognized those characters from a book he had seen before but could not recall which one it was.
lín xuān kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， nà xiē fú wén sì hū zài nǎ běn diǎn jí shàng jiàn guò ， bù guò yī shí piàn kè ， yòu xiǎng bù qǐ lái le 。
林轩看得清清楚楚，那些符文似乎在哪本典籍上见过，不过一时片刻，又想不起来了。
Before his thoughts fully formed, a deep voice echoed in his ears.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， jiù yǒu hún hòu de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
脑海中念头尚未转过，就有浑厚的声音传入耳朵。
"Moo-ma-nei-ba Mi-hum."
“ mōu zhǔ ma zhǔ ne zhǔ bā zhǔ mí 、 hēng 。”
“哞丶嘛丶呢丶叭丶弥、哼。”
"..."
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
Lin Xuan’s expression changed wildly. He remembered; this was the Six-Word Evil Ghost Spell.
lín xuān de liǎn sè， yī xià zi kuáng biàn qǐ lái ， tā xiǎng qǐ lái le ， zhè shì liù yán è guǐ zhòu 。
林轩的脸sè，一下子狂变起来，他想起来了，这是六言恶鬼咒。
The Six-Word Evil Ghost Spell was created by an ancient ghost dao cultivator who had suffered at the hands of a high-ranking monk from the Buddhist sect, losing to the Six-Word Demonic Suppression Spell. However, he only retreated and was not completely eradicated.
liù yán è guǐ zhòu ， nǎi shì shàng gǔ zhī shí ， yī wèi guǐ dào de dà néng cún zài suǒ chuàng lì chū lái de shén tōng 。
六言恶鬼咒，乃是上古之时，一位鬼道的大能存在所创立出来的神通。
Painstakingly, this ghost dao cultivator created a spell that could counteract the demonic suppression spell—this was the Six-Word Evil Ghost Spell.
cǐ rén zài zǎo nián zhī shí ， céng zài fú zōng gāo sēng de shǒu dǐ xià chī guò kǔ tóu ， xī bài yú liù yán jiàng mó zhòu ， rán ér tā zhǐ shì bài zǒu ， bìng méi yǒu bèi miè chú 。
此人在早年之时，曾在佛宗高僧的手底下吃过苦头，惜败于六言降魔咒，然而他只是败走，并没有被灭除。
Though the Six-Word Demonic Suppression Spell had only six words, it was said to have seventy-two transformations when fully mastered. The same applied to the evil ghost spell.
zhè wèi guǐ dào dà néng cún zài tòng dìng sī tòng ， chuàng lì chū néng yǔ jiàng mó zhòu duì kàng de shén tōng ， nà jiù shì liù yán è guǐ zhòu 。
这位鬼道大能存在痛定思痛，创立出能与降魔咒对抗的神通，那就是六言恶鬼咒。
He wondered how many transformations this Heavenly Corpse Sect old monster had achieved.
liù yán jiàng mó zhòu suī rán zhǐ yǒu duǎn duǎn de liù yán ， dàn jù shuō xiū liàn dào zuì hòu ， néng yǒu qī shí èr bān biàn huà ， è guǐ zhòu yě shì yī yàng de 。
六言降魔咒虽然只有短短的六言，但据说修炼到最后，能有七十二般变化，恶鬼咒也是一样的。
As "Hmph" sounded, space itself seemed to be torn apart. A gap in space appeared before their eyes.
jiù bù xiǎo de yǎn qián zhè wèi tiān shī mén de lǎo guài wù ， jiū jìng xiū liàn dào dì jǐ biàn le 。
就不晓得眼前这位天尸门的老怪物，究竟修炼到第几变了。
From within, endless阴气 emerged, followed by an arm, then a body. An ugly-faced demon appeared in his sight.
suí zhe ，“ hēng , zì shēng luò ， zhōu wéi de kōng jiān jū rán bèi sī liè diào le ， méi cuò ， yī tiáo kōng jiān fèng xì ， suí zhī yìng rù dào yǎn lián lǐ 。
随着，“哼,字声落，周围的空间居然被撕裂掉了，没错，一条空间缝隙，随之映入到眼帘里。
In the human world, daoist cultivators who reached great depths of their cultivation could summon the essence of famous demons from above to inhabit them. This Inner Profound old monster was even more powerful, using the Six-Word Evil Ghost Spell to create a gap in space.
cóng lǐ miàn mào chū wú jìn de yīn qì ， rán hòu ， yī tiáo shǒu bì tàn le chū lái ， suí hòu shì shēn tǐ ， yī qīng miàn liáo yá de è guǐ chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
从里面冒出无尽的yīn气，然后，一条手臂探了出来，随后是身体，一青面獠牙的恶鬼出现在了视线里。
Previously, he had too many things on his mind and couldn't update regularly; I apologize. From today onwards, updates will resume as usual. It's the end of the month, so please vote for monthly tickets. Thank you, everyone!
This old monster was a ruthless and decisive character. Upon spotting the telltale signs of his approach, he immediately acted without hesitation or idle chatter.
The white bone sword, filled with endless阴气, sliced through the air in an instant, already approaching Lin Xuan's position.
Lin Xuan found himself in peril, but his expression remained calm as he did not summon any treasures. Instead, his shoulders twitched slightly.
Instantly, ripples of space spread out from where he had been standing, like a stone being thrown into a tranquil lake. Lin Xuan’s shadow was still far away, yet the man vanished without a trace.
Wooosh…
A sound akin to howling winds swept through the valley, piercing his ears. The white bone sword had already sliced through where Lin Xuan had just stood, but it only severed his shadow. His true form had long since disappeared into thin air.
Teleportation!
The scholar-like cultivator’s eyes narrowed slightly. However, in the next moment, ripples of space surged, and Lin Xuan appeared beside him.
Boom!
A爆裂 sound echoed as Lin Xuan emitted a demonic aura. A flash of light revealed that his left hand had transformed into something akin to a bird's talon. He swung it, sending a piercing sound through the air. Green claw-like projections emerged, shooting towards the opponent.
At such close range, the scholar could not dodge; he was hit by the dazzling claws and turned into a honeycomb of wounds.
Lin Xuan’s attack did not end there. His right hand rose, swiftly descending downwards. A green sword light, several feet long, appeared as it slashed at the opponent's head.

From past experience to present caution, the scholar-like cultivator’s companions were alarmed. They quickly summoned their defensive treasures as they raised their heads.
"Bad luck, his target is..."
Upon seeing where Lin Xuan was, the woman in艳妆's expression changed dramatically. However, it was too late to stop him; a brilliant light shot out from his sleeve and transformed into a grayish-misty hurricane that enveloped the teleportation array they had just used.
A sound of shattering filled their ears. When the hurricane dissipated, the teleportation array was completely destroyed.
With Lin Xuan’s strength, he would not be intimidated even by three Inner Profound cultivators. However, if reinforcements arrived, it could become troublesome.

Painstakingly, this ghost dao cultivator created a spell that could counteract the demonic suppression spell—this was the Six-Word Evil Ghost Spell.
Though the Six-Word Demonic Suppression Spell had only six words, it was said to have seventy-two transformations when fully mastered. The same applied to the evil ghost spell.
He wondered how many transformations this Heavenly Corpse Sect old monster had achieved.
As "Hmph" sounded, space itself seemed to be torn apart. A gap in space appeared before their eyes.
From within, endless阴气 emerged, followed by an arm, then a body. An ugly-faced demon appeared in his sight.
In the human world, daoist cultivators who reached great depths of their cultivation could summon the essence of famous demons from above to inhabit them. This Inner Profound old monster was even more powerful, using the Six-Word Evil Ghost Spell to create a gap in space.
Previously, he had too many things on his mind and couldn't update regularly; I apologize. From today onwards, updates will resume as usual. It's the end of the month, so please vote for monthly tickets. Thank you, everyone!
