dī hǒu shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jìng rán shì yī zhī zhī shēn pī tóng jiǎ de guài wù 。
低吼声传入耳朵，竟然是一只只身披铜甲的怪物。
A low growl entered Lin Xuan's ears, and it was a creature clad in copper armor.
shuāng yǎn tū chū ， róng mào zhēng níng dào jí chù ， bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì liàn shī le 。
双眼凸出，容貌狰狞到极处，不用说，自然是炼尸了。
Its eyes bulged out, its appearance grotesque to the extreme. Without saying, these were undoubtedly refined corpses.
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， yǐng yǐng chuò chuò ， zú yǒu shù wàn zhī duō 。
放眼望去，影影绰绰，足有数万之多。
Looking around, there seemed to be tens of thousands of them.
chéng lóu shàng ， fù jìn de jiàn zhù zhōng ， yāo huà zhě yí gè gè chēng mù jié shé ， kuáng tūn tuò mò 。
城楼上，附近的建筑中，妖化者一个个瞠目结舌，狂吞唾沫。
On the city walls and nearby buildings, transformed beings stared with wide eyes, swallowing their saliva.
tóng jiǎ shī ， zěn me huì yǒu zhè me duō ？
铜甲尸，怎么会有这么多？
How could there be so many copper-armored corpses?
zhè xiē guài wù yí gè gè liáo yá wài lù ， xiū wèi zuì dī de ， yě xiāng dāng yú níng dān hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
这些怪物一个个獠牙外露，修为最低的，也相当于凝丹后期的修仙者。
Each monster had exposed fangs, and even those at the lowest level were equivalent to late-stage Condensation Core cultivators. Some had reached the stage where their essence bodies separated from their physical forms.
yuán yīng ， lí hé yě jué bù zài shǎo shù 。
元婴，离合也绝不在少数。
The strongest few corpse kings emitted an aura that was no joke; they could give a peak-stage old monster a run for its money.
zuì qiáng de jǐ zhī shī wáng ， sàn fà chū lái de qì xī gèng shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yǔ dòng xuán qī lǎo guài wù ， nà yě shì yǒu dé yī pīn de 。
最强的几只尸王，散发出来的气息更是非同小可，与洞玄期老怪物，那也是有得一拼的。
In the distance, Lin Xuan hid among the crowd, his eyes narrowing with some surprise. However, upon thinking about the other party's identity, he became at ease.
yuǎn chù ， lín xuān duǒ zài rén qún lǐ ， yǎn jīng wēi mī ， liǎn shàng yě liú lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì ， bù guò yī xiǎng duì fāng de shēn fèn ， què yòu shì rán le 。
远处，林轩躲在人群里，眼睛微眯，脸上也流露出几分诧异，不过一想对方的身份，却又释然了。
A cackling laugh sounded out. Lin Xuan saw the silver-haired elder wave his left hand slightly, and a light beam as thick as a bowl shot out.
tā kě shì tiān shī mén de tài shàng zhǎng lǎo ， zuò wèi fēn shén qī lǎo guài wù ， tiān zhī dào huó le duō shǎo wàn nián ， jiù suàn huàn yǎng dé yǒu nà me duō liàn shī ， yě bù zú wéi qí 。
他可是天尸门的太上长老，做为分神期老怪物，天知道活了多少万年，就算豢养得有那么多炼尸，也不足为奇。
The beam was pitch-black, exuding an overwhelming spiritual pressure.
zhè lǎo jiā huǒ de shí lì ， hái zhēn shì yuǎn fēi tóng jiē cún zài kě bǐ ， jiāng tiān fēng chéng yí wéi píng dì ， wèi shǐ shì tā bàn bú dào de shì qíng 。
这老家伙的实力，还真是远非同阶存在可比，将天风城夷为平地，未始是他办不到的事情。
"Bad luck, get down!"
lín xuān xīn zhōng dà gǎn jiè jù ， bù guò què méi yǒu qīng jǔ wàng dòng shén me 。
林轩心中大感戒惧，不过却没有轻举妄动什么。
The bald old man was shocked, but it was too late. Seeing that the bald giant was about to be hit, he roared, raising both hands with clenched fists and striking them against his chest.
sú huà shuō ， shèng míng zhī xià wú xū shì 。
俗话说，盛名之下无虚士。
As he moved, a yellowish light enveloped him, forming an odd shape like a turtle shell.
zuò wéi tiān shuāng jùn pái míng dì yī de fán rén chéng zhāng ， yāo huà zhě gāo shǒu yún jí ， lín xuān bù xiāng xìn xī huì sī háo méi yǒu huán shǒu zhī lì 。
作为天霜郡排名第一的凡人城章，妖化者高手云集，林轩不相信牺会丝毫没有还手之力。
Boom!
nà shì jué bù kě néng dì 。
那是绝不可能地。
A blast echoed as Lin Xuan's expected effect from the old monster's sneak attack failed. However, the bald giant wasn't doing well either; blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Nevertheless, he managed to block the opponent's attack.
suǒ yǐ zì jǐ xiàn zài shén me yě bù yòng zuò ， xiān jìng guān qí biàn zài zuò dìng duó 。
所以自己现在什么也不用做，先静观其变再做定夺。
"Hmm..."
“ nǐ men kě yǐ qù sǐ le 。”
“你们可以去死了。”
The old monster's face showed surprise. This was just a mid-stage Condensation Core transformed being, and such defense was too outrageous. Could it be that he had fused with a turtle crystal nucleus bearing the bloodline of a heavenly spirit beast?
gǔ lǎo mó xiāo zhāng de dà xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tā huà yīn gāng luò ， dī hǒu shēng dà qǐ ， yī dào dào huī guāng huá guò ， què shì nà xiē tóng jiǎ shī pū xiàng le chéng lóu 。
古老魔嚣张的大笑声传入耳朵，他话音刚落，低吼声大起，一道道灰光划过，却是那些铜甲尸扑向了城楼。
Turtles' defensive capabilities were already formidable among their kind, making this explanation plausible.
dùn shí ， jīng hū shēng cǐ qǐ bǐ fú ， jiù zhěng jīn tiān fēng chéng lái shuō ， yāo huà zhě de shù liàng ， dāng rán yuǎn bǐ zhè jí liàn shī wèi duō 。
顿时，惊呼声此起彼伏，就整今天风城来说，妖化者的数量，当然远比这集炼尸为多。
The expressions on the seven elders of the city turned grave. With things at this point, there was no turning back; they could only fight to the end.
dàn tā men fēn sàn yú gè ó
但他们分散于各哦
"Bad luck, we can't match this old monster in one-on-one combat. We mustn't let him break us down individually. Quickly set up the Seven Heroes Formation of Xuanwu! Only by relying on the power of the formation can we counter this old monster," the silver-haired elder said with a panicked expression.
jiù yǎn qián de jú bù lái shuō ， fǎn ér shì liàn shī de shù liàng ， xíng chéng yōu shì le 。
就眼前的局部来说，反而是炼尸的数量，形成优势了。
Before his words were finished, he reached into his robes and quickly produced a green array flag in his palm.
hé kuàng yòu yǒu gǔ lǎo mó zuò zhèn cǐ chù ， jìng jiè shāo wēi gāo diǎn de yāo huà zhě dōu bèi zhè lǎo guài wù qīng yì miè chú 。
何况又有古老魔坐镇此处，境界稍微高点的妖化者都被这老怪物轻易灭除。
The other elders didn't hesitate either. They took out different items: talismans, golden bowls, long swords, even a soul banner-shaped treasure.
shèng xià lái dí dàng rán dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， zhuǎn shùn jiān ， zhè duàn chéng qiáng jiù bèi liàn shī men gěi zhàn lǐng le 。
剩下来的当然抵挡不住，转瞬间，这段城墙就被炼尸们给占领了。
Though their appearances varied, they resonated with each other when taken out. The seven transformed beings then consecrated the seven treasures together.
“ fán rén jiù shì fán rén ， guī gēn jié dǐ ， jǐn yǒu zhè diǎn shí lì ， nǎ lǐ néng hé wǒ men xiū xiān zhě xiāng bǐ 。”
“凡人就是凡人，归根结底，仅有这点实力，哪里能和我们修仙者相比。”
Boom!
gǔ lǎo mó de liǎn shàng mǎn shì zhēng níng yǔ dé yì ， tā zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， mù guāng yǐ jiāng lín xuān suǒ dìng le ， nà xiǎo zi shēn shàng ， yī jiù shì sī háo lì bō dòng yě wú 。
古老魔的脸上满是狰狞与得意，他转过头颅，目光已将林轩锁定了，那小子身上，依旧是丝毫力波动也无。
The entire sky turned gloomy; though not pitch-black, the sunlight was dimmed to a great extent. Soon, dark clouds appeared in the horizon and rapidly converged, continuously surging.
nán dào shuō ， tā jiù shì kào zhè ge ， yǐn mán zì jǐ xiū shì shēn fèn de 。
难道说，他就是靠这个，隐瞒自己修士身份的。
The cloud formation grew larger, eventually covering an area of several dozen miles.
hǎo hài rén de liǎn qì zhī shù ！
好骇人的敛气之术！
This was just the beginning. The shape of the cloud began to change.
gǔ lǎo mó xīn zhōng yě yǒu xiē dí gū ， bù guò hěn kuài jiù bèi lěng xiào dài tì le 。
古老魔心中也有些嘀咕，不过很快就被冷笑代替了。
"..."
xuán miào yòu rú hé ？
玄妙又如何？
Lin Xuan's face changed from nonchalance to surprise as he observed the scene. The dark clouds had transformed into a monstrous turtle, but its tail resembled that of a fierce snake.
shí lì cái shì wáng dào ， wǒ kàn nǐ xiàn zài wǎng nǎ lǐ pǎo ？
实力才是王道，我看你现在往哪里跑？
Xuanwu!
tā de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī dào yì máng ， shēn tǐ zhōu wéi gèng yǒu shā qì yíng rào ， rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， què xiàng yǒu suǒ gǎn yìng shì de zhuǎn guò le tóu lú 。
他的眼中闪过一道异芒，身体周围更有杀气萦绕，然而就在此刻，却像有所感应似的转过了头颅。
Although Lin Xuan hadn't seen this spirit beast in person, it was well-known from ancient texts—part of the Four Symbols.
“ yī zhǔ èr zhǔ sān …… qī ， yī gòng shì qī gè ， yǒu qī míng dòng xuán qī yāo huà zhě zhèng jiē jìn zhe 。” gǔ lǎo mó de biǎo qíng ， yě yǒu xiē níng zhòng qǐ lái le 。
“一丶二丶三……七，一共是七个，有七名洞玄期妖化者正接近着。”古老魔的表情，也有些凝重起来了。
Its power was unquestionable; however, at present, it only looked like a cloud. It was unclear what connection there might be with the real Xuanwu or the secrets hidden within the Seven Heroes Formation of Xuanwu.
yuán běn ， yāo huà zhě de shí lì ， shì wú yòng shén shí kàn chū ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， qī wèi zhǎng lǎo què gù yì jiāng qì shì quán fàng 。
原本，妖化者的实力，是无用神识看出，但此时此刻，七位长老却故意将气势全放。
Lin Xuan didn't have time to ponder these matters as he watched. The old monster's face also showed surprise. A vortex suddenly appeared at the bottom of the dark clouds, several dozen feet in diameter and deep beyond sight, emitting a powerful suction force similar to that of a black hole.
chá jué dào liàn shī de sì lüè ， tā men de dùn guāng ， yuè fā de xùn sù ， hěn kuài jiù lái dào chéng mén kǒu 。
察觉到炼尸的肆掠，他们的遁光，越发的迅速，很快就来到城门口。
Its target was only the old monster.
ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì dì yī bō ， shēn hòu ， hái yǒu dà liàng de yāo huà zhě gǎn wǎng cǐ chù 。
而这仅仅是第一波，身后，还有大量的妖化者赶往此处。
The old monster naturally wouldn't surrender easily, but the suction force was too formidable. Despite his best efforts, he could only hold on for a few breaths before being sucked into the cloud formation shaped like a turtle.
fēn shén qī lǎo guài wù yòu rú hé ， nán dào hái zhēn rèn yóu tā yí gè rén ， jiù jiāng běn chéng gěi tiāo le ？
分神期老怪物又如何，难道还真任由他一个人，就将本城给挑了？
"We should leave."
lǎo guài wù de xiāo zhāng bá hù ， fǎn ér ràng yāo huà zhě men tóng chóu dí kài 。
老怪物的嚣张跋扈，反而让妖化者们同仇敌忾。
The seven elders exchanged glances and nodded. They then flicked their hands, activating the Seven Heroes Formation of Xuanwu. Light points appeared from the head, chest, limbs, and tail of the turtle-shaped cloud, revealing seven Taiji patterns. The elders' faces lit up as they flew towards them.
zhì yú pǔ tōng de fán rén ， dāng rán bù gǎn lái pǔ hún shuǐ ， shèn zhì bù gǎn zhàn dé tài jìn le 。
至于普通的凡人，当然不敢来蹼浑水，甚至不敢站得太近了。
Eight figures disappeared in a flash. However, moments later, thunderous explosions echoed, and the turtle-shaped cloud trembled continuously, with various spiritual lights swirling inside.
chéng mén shī huǒ ， nà kě shì huì yāng jí chí yú de 。
城门失火，那可是会殃及池鱼的。
Due to the formation's concealment, it was hard to gauge the battle's progress.
dàn tā men zhàn zài yuǎn chù ， yě dōu tì yāo huà zhě men jiā yóu zhe 。
但他们站在远处，也都替妖化者们加油着。
Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction. He had broad experience and could discern the formation's subtleties. Although he didn't know its exact power, seven Condensation Core transformed beings might indeed be able to counter the old monster evenly or even wear him down.
yī shí jiān ， gǔ lǎo mó chéng le guò jiē de lǎo shǔ ， rén rén hǎn dǎ le 。
一时间，古老魔成了过街的老鼠，人人喊打了。
This was beyond doubt.
rán ér lǎo guài wù miàn bù gǎi sè ， qī míng dòng xuán yòu rú hé ， zài zì jǐ miàn qián ， tóng yàng shì lā jī ， tā men gǎi biàn bù liǎo zhàn jú 。
然而老怪物面不改色，七名洞玄又如何，在自己面前，同样是垃圾，他们改变不了战局。
It truly felt like reaching a dead end only to find a new path.
guài xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， gǔ lǎo mó zuǒ shǒu lüè yī huī wǔ ， yī dào wǎn kǒu cū xì de guāng zhù diàn shè ér chū 。
怪笑声传入耳朵，古老魔左手略一挥舞，一道碗口粗细的光柱电射而出。
Lin Xuan's expression relaxed as this situation favored him. The battle inside the turtle-shaped cloud raged on, and nearby, the refined corpses and other transformed beings were also engaged in a tight fight.
cǐ guāng zhù qī hēi rú mò ， yī gǔ páng bó de líng yā suí zhī mí màn bù chū 。
此光柱漆黑如墨，一股磅礴的灵压随之弥漫不出。
The copper-armored corpses' strength was formidable, and they didn't need the old monster to control them; they could fight alone with great tenacity. Despite their smaller numbers, they held their own due to their bravery.
“ bù hǎo ， kuài duǒ ”
“不好，快躲”
Lin Xuan scanned the battlefield, his expression growing smug. Seeing no one paying attention, he silently left the scene.
nà yín fā lǎo zhě dà jīng shī sè ， kě yǐ jīng lái bù jí le ， yǎn kàn nà guāng tóu dà hàn jiù yào bèi jī zhòng ， cǐ rén yī shēng bào hē ， zuǒ shǒu yǔ yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， wǔ zhǐ jǐn wò ， quán tou zài xiōng kǒu duì pèng 。
那银发老者大惊失色，可已经来不及了，眼看那光头大汉就要被击中，此人一声暴喝，左手与右手抬起，五指紧握，拳头在胸口对碰。
Of course, it wasn't a retreat; there was no need for that. In a clamorous situation, Lin Xuan remained calm as this favored him greatly.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， tǔ huáng sè de guāng yùn cóng tā shēn tǐ biǎo miàn mí sàn ér chū ， yí gè xū yǐng fú xiàn le ， xíng zhuàng qí tè ， kàn shàng qù jìng yǒu xiē xiàng wū guī ké 。
随着他的动作，土黄色的光晕从他身体表面弥散而出，一个虚影浮现了，形状奇特，看上去竟有些像乌龟壳。
After wandering around for a while, Lin Xuan arrived at a secluded place after a cup of tea.
hōng ！
轰！
Looking around, there were neither ordinary humans nor transformed beings nearby.
bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， gǔ lǎo mó de zhè yī jì tōu xí ， bìng méi yǒu qǐ dào yù xiǎng de xiào guǒ ， bù guò nà guāng tóu dà hàn yě bù hǎo guò ， zuǐ jiǎo biān yǒu yān hóng de xiān xuè yì chū ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， zǒng zhī tā shì dǎng xià duì fāng de zhè jì gōng jī le 。
爆裂声传入耳朵，古老魔的这一记偷袭，并没有起到预想的效果，不过那光头大汉也不好过，嘴角边有殷红的鲜血溢出，但不管如何，总之他是挡下对方的这记攻击了。
Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction as he clutched his hands. A series of mysterious symbols flickered before vanishing. He then undid the Heaven Demon Incarnation Secret Technique.
“ yí ,
“咦,
Lin Xuan dared to do this because the city's restrictions had a flaw. When cultivators entered from outside, they were detected, but once inside, the restrictions wouldn't take effect.
lǎo mó de liǎn shàng liú lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì ， duì fāng bù guò yī qū qū dòng xuán zhōng qī de yāo huà zhě ， zhè fáng yù wèi miǎn yě tài lí pǔ le ， nán dào tā róng hé de ， shì mǒu zhǒng jù yǒu tiān dì líng shòu xuè tǒng de xuán guī jīng hé 。
老魔的脸上流露出几分诧异，对方不过一区区洞玄中期的妖化者，这防御未免也太离谱了，难道他融合的，是某种具有天地灵兽血统的玄龟晶核。
Thus, Lin Xuan could safely undo the secret technique without any harm.
yǔ tóng lèi yāo shòu xiāng bǐ ， guī lèi de fáng yù lì ， běn jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yě zhǐ yǒu zhè yàng ， cái néng gòu shuō dé tōng 。
与同类妖兽相比，龟类的防御力，本就非同小可，也只有这样，才能够说得通。
Of course, he still didn't want his identity exposed and immediately practiced the concealment technique as he undid the Heaven Demon Incarnation Secret Technique.
ér tiān fēng chéng qī wèi zhǎng lǎo de biǎo qíng ， zé nán kàn dào jí chù ， shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù ， zì rán méi yǒu huí xuán de yú dì ， zhǐ yǒu shǒu dǐ xià jiàn zhēn zhāng le 。
而天风城七位长老的表情，则难看到极处，事情到了这一步，自然没有回旋的余地，只有手底下见真章了。
It was late today; I wrote eight thousand words but will save three thousand for tomorrow. I need to return to my wife's family home since her father is having a birthday.
“ bù hǎo ， dān dǎ dú dòu ， wǒ men jué bú shì zhè lǎo mó de duì shǒu ， bù néng ràng tā gè gè jī pò ， kuài bù xuán wǔ qī jié zhèn ， zhǐ yǒu jiè zhù zhèn zhī lì ， cái néng yǔ zhè lǎo guài wù kàng héng 。” yín fā lǎo zhě liǎn sè dà biàn de shuō dào 。
“不好，单打独斗，我们绝不是这老魔的对手，不能让他各个击破，快布玄武七杰阵，只有借住阵之力，才能与这老怪物抗衡。”银发老者脸色大变的说道。
I'm busy, but I'll try my best. Please support me and my work with your votes!
A low growl entered Lin Xuan's ears, and it was a creature clad in copper armor.
