那攻击来得突兀，事先半点征兆也无，若换一名修仙者，十有**就被击了，然而林轩斗法的经验何等丰富，其感官敏锐也远非一般的修士可以比拟的，尽管变起仓储，但他还是在千钧一发之极将身体侧开了。本书实时更新ＤＵ⑤⒏сΟm卐:新世纪卐淼卐说卐网卐
The attack came suddenly, without any prior warning. If another cultivator had faced it, they would likely have been struck down. However, Lin Xuan's experience in magical battles was incredibly rich, and his senses were far more acute than those of an ordinary cultivator. Despite the sudden change, he managed to sidestep at the last moment.
huī bái sè de guāng zhù luò kōng ， jiāng yī páng de dì biǎo jī ， kě pà de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǎn qián dùn shí fú xiàn chū le yí gè dà dòng， zhí jìng zú yǒu zhàng xǔ ， shēn bú jiàn dǐ 。
灰白sè的光柱落空，将一旁的地表击，可怕的爆裂声传入耳朵，眼前顿时浮现出了一个大dòng，直径足有丈许，深不见底。
The gray-white light column missed its target, striking the ground nearby with a terrifying explosion. A large crater appeared before his eyes, measuring several feet in diameter and seemingly bottomless.
lín xuān de liǎn sè， biàn dé cāng bái wú bǐ 。
林轩的脸sè，变得苍白无比。
Lin Xuan's face turned pale.
bù jiā sī suǒ de shēn xíng yī huǎng ， rén jiù lí kāi le yuán lái de dì fāng ， chū xiàn zài le shí yú zhàng kāi wài ， suí hòu lín xuān cái tái qǐ tóu lú ， yī liǎn de jīng nù zhī sè。
不加思索的身形一晃，人就离开了原来的地方，出现在了十余丈开外，随后林轩才抬起头颅，一脸的惊怒之sè。
Without hesitation, he moved away from his original position, appearing more than ten feet away. Only then did he raise his head, looking furious and alarmed.
chā zhī háo lí ， miù yǐ qiān lǐ ， gāng gāng wēi xiǎn dào hé děng dì bù ， zhǐ yǒu tā zhè ge dāng shì rén cái zuì qīng chǔ 。
差之毫厘，谬以千里，刚刚危险到何等地步，只有他这个当事人才最清楚。
A hair's breadth difference could make all the difference. How close that danger had been, only he knew best.
hǎo xiǎn ！
好险！
How dangerous!
nà guāng zhù yùn hán de shī qì lìng rén cè mù ， jí shǐ zì jǐ bèi jī ， yě jué bú huì hǎo guò 。
那光柱蕴含的尸气令人侧目，即使自己被击，也绝不会好过。
The corpse gas contained in the light column was enough to make anyone wary. Even if he were hit, it wouldn't be a pleasant experience.
gǔ lǎo mó … jū rán hái huó zhe ？
古老魔…居然还活着？
An ancient demon… still alive?
nǎo hǎi niàn tou shǎn guò ， lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi mī ， jiāng shén shí fàng le chū qù 。
脑海念头闪过，林轩眼睛微眯，将神识放了出去。
His mind raced as Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and released his divine sense.
kuáng fēng chuī fú de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tóu dǐng de wū yún jiàn jiàn de sàn kāi le 。
狂风吹拂的声音传入耳朵，头顶的乌云渐渐的散开了。
A strong wind blew, dispersing the dark clouds above. Two figures came into view.
liǎng gè rén yǐng yìng rù le yǎn lián 。
两个人影映入了眼帘。
Sure enough, standing in front was the Ancient Demon. However, this cultivator of the Spirit Refinement Stage no longer had any arrogance on his face; instead, he looked utterly miserable, almost like a beggar at first glance.
guǒ rán méi cuò ， zhàn zài qián fāng de shì gǔ lǎo mó 。??⑤???? yuè dú běn shū zuì xīn zhāng jié
果然没错，站在前方的是古老魔。??⑤????阅读本书最新章节
This wasn't surprising given the intense magical battle, especially the explosion just now. His clothes were torn and tattered, with holes everywhere, looking like rags hanging from his body. His face was also darkened by soot, making him look as if he had been covered in ashes. He had numerous wounds all over his body, though the bleeding had stopped thanks to secret techniques, but it would take some time for them to heal.
zhǐ bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zhè míng fèn shén qī xiū xiān zhě liǎn shàng zài yě méi yǒu le xiāo zhāng zhī sè， ér shì láng bèi dào wú fǎ yán yù de dì bù ， zǎ yī kàn yǔ qǐ gài chà bu duō 。
只不过此时此刻，这名分神期修仙者脸上再也没有了嚣张之sè，而是狼狈到无法言喻的地步，咋一看与乞丐差不多。
These were just surface issues. The crucial point was that the ancient demon's aura had weakened significantly. Lin Xuan witnessed firsthand how powerful the explosion was; he estimated that even he might have perished from such an attack. As a Spirit Refinement cultivator, the ancient demon surviving wasn't unusual, but it certainly consumed a lot of his essence energy. Whether or not he suffered internal injuries remained uncertain.
zhè yě shì nán guài de ， jīng guò jī liè de dòu fǎ ， chí bié shì gāng gāng de bào zhà ， tā hún shēn de yī fú ， dōu yǐ jīng pò pò làn làn le ， zuǒ kāi yí gè dòng， yòu liè yī tiáo kǒu ， rú mā bù yì bān ， guà zài shēn tǐ shàng miàn 。
这也是难怪的，经过jī烈的斗法，持别是刚刚的爆炸，他浑身的衣服，都已经破破烂烂了，左开一个dòng，右裂一条口，如抹布一般，挂在身体上面。
Regardless, at this moment, the ancient demon's powers were significantly diminished, which was certain.
ér qiě liǎn yě wū qī má hēi de ， kàn shàng qù jiù fǎng fú tú mǒ mǎn le zào huī ， hún shēn shàng xià de shāng kǒu yě bù shǎo ， suī rán xuè yǐ jīng bèi tā yòng mì shù zhǐ zhù ， dàn yī shí piàn kè xiǎng yào fù yuán nà yě shì jué bù kě néng de 。
而且脸也乌漆麻黑的，看上去就仿佛涂抹满了灶灰，浑身上下的伤口也不少，虽然血已经被他用秘术止住，但一时片刻想要复原那也是绝不可能的。
Lin Xuan's thoughts raced, and his expression relaxed as well. Everything was unfolding according to his expectations. The only downside was that the ancient demon wasn't alone.
zhè xiē dōu hái jǐn jǐn shì biǎo xiàng ， guān jiàn shì cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lǎo mó hún shēn shàng xià de qì xī ， què shì shuāi ruò le hěn duō ， gāng gāng bào zhà de wēi lì lín xuān qīn yǎn mù dǔ gū jì zì jǐ āi yī xià yě dé yǔn luò ， gǔ lǎo mó shēn wèi fēn shén jí bié de xiū xiān zhě néng huó xià lái bù xī qí ， dàn yě jué duì xiāo hào le jí duō de líng lì ， zhì yú shòu méi yǒu shòu nèi shāng nà jiù bù hǎo shuō 。
这些都还仅仅是表象，关键是此时此刻，老魔浑身上下的气息，却是衰弱了很多，刚刚爆炸的威力林轩亲眼目睹估计自己挨一下也得陨落，古老魔身为分神级别的修仙者能活下来不稀奇，但也绝对消耗了极多的灵力，至于受没有受内伤那就不好说。
His gaze shifted towards the terrifying Corpse Refiner nearby.
dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， gǔ lǎo mó de shén tōng yào dà dǎ zhé kòu ， zhè yì diǎn ， nà shì què dìng wú yí de 。
但不管如何，此时此刻，古老魔的神通要大打折扣，这一点，那是确定无疑的。
Silver-winged Corpse King!
lín xuān nǎo hǎi niàn tou shǎn guò ， biǎo qíng yě bù yóu de qīng sōng xià lái le ， yī qiè dōu cháo zhe zì jǐ yù liào de fā zhǎn ， wéi yī bù miào de shì lǎo mó jū rán bìng fēi gū jiā guǎ rén yí gè 。
林轩脑海念头闪过，表情也不由得轻松下来了，一切都朝着自己预料的发展，唯一不妙的是老魔居然并非孤家寡人一个。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. His strength equaled a cultivator just entering the Spirit Refinement Stage, but at this moment, the Silver-winged Corpse King seemed to have lost its ferocity due to injuries worse than those of its master. Lin Xuan's expression turned strange as he began to speculate. Perhaps the explosion earlier was meant to eliminate the ancient demon, and it was the Silver-winged Corpse King that bore most of the brunt, allowing the ancient demon to survive by chance.
lín xuān mù guāng zhuǎn guò luò xiàng páng biān nà kě pà de liàn shī shàng le 。
林轩目光转过落像旁边那可怕的炼尸上了。
While the corpse king had saved his master, it was now nearly immobilized and posed no threat.
yín chì shī wáng ！
银翅尸王！
The ancient demon clearly noticed this. With a wave of his sleeve, a black light shot out, wrapping around the Silver-winged Corpse King before returning him to its spirit ghost bag.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， qí shí lì xiāng dāng yú gāng gāng mài rù fēn shén qī de xiū xiān zhě ， hǎo zài cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yín chì shī wáng què shì xiōng máng bù zài le xī suǒ shòu de shāng ， bǐ zhǔ rén hái yào zhòng dé duō ， lín xuān liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī yì sè， bù yóu de kāi shǐ le tuī yuān ， yě xǔ gāng gāng de bào zhà ， běn lái shì néng miè diào gǔ lǎo mó ， kě xī yín chì shī wáng fēn dān le dà bù fèn de wēi lì ， zhè cái ràng lǎo mó jiǎo xìng cún huó 。??⑤???? yuè dú běn shū zuì xīn zhāng jié
林轩瞳孔微缩，其实力相当于刚刚迈入分神期的修仙者，好在此时此刻，银翅尸王却是凶芒不在了牺所受的伤，比主人还要重得多，林轩脸上闪过一丝异sè，不由得开始了推渊，也许刚刚的爆炸，本来是能灭掉古老魔，可惜银翅尸王分担了大部分的威力，这才让老魔侥幸存活。??⑤????阅读本书最新章节
Turning back towards Lin Xuan, the ancient demon's eyes were filled with intense hatred. He hadn't suffered such humiliation in decades.
ér shī wáng tì zhǔ rén dǎng zāi suī rán méi yǒu yǔn luò dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， chà bu duō yǐ jīng dòng tán bù dé ， bù zú wèi jù le 。
而尸王替主人挡灾虽然没有陨落但此时此刻，差不多已经动弹不得，不足为惧了。
Lin Xuan was right on target. If not for the Silver-winged Corpse King's desperate defense, he would have perished.
gǔ lǎo mó xiǎn rán yě fā xiàn le zhè yì diǎn ， xiù páo yī fú yī dào hēi guāng fēi chū ， jiāng yín chì shī wáng yī guǒ bǎ tā chóng xīn shōu huí dào líng guǐ dài lǐ miàn le 。
古老魔显然也发现了这一点，袖袍一拂一道黑光飞出，将银翅尸王一裹把他重新收回到灵鬼袋里面了。
How despicable!
suí hòu lǎo mó huí guò tóu lú ， wàng xiàng lín xuān de yǎn shén nà shì yuàn dú dào jí chù ， tā de shuāng yǎn zài mào huǒ ， duō shǎo nián le ， zì jǐ méi yǒu zhè yàng chī kuī guò 。
随后老魔回过头颅，望向林轩的眼神那是怨毒到极处，他的双眼在冒火，多少年了，自己没有这样吃亏过。
It was all this damned youth's doing.
lín xuān de cāi kè méi cuò ， gāng gāng ruò bú shì yín chì shī wáng pīn sǐ xiāng hù ， tā yǐ jīng yǔn luò diào le 。
林轩的猜刻没错，刚刚若不是银翅尸王拼死相护，他已经陨落掉了。
The opponent had used a diversion tactic, forcing him and the demonized beings to fight while he searched for treasures.
kě wù ！
可恶！
This was intolerable. The ancient demon's face was full of fury as he was on the verge of losing his mind.
yī qiè dōu shì zhè gāi sǐ de xiǎo zi zào chéng de 。
一切都是这该死的小子造成的。
"You will pay for this."
duì fāng shī zhǎn huò shuǐ dōng yǐn zhī cè ， ràng zì jǐ yǔ nà xiē yāo huà zhě zài zhè lǐ pīn sǐ pīn huó ， tā què chèn jī liū qù xún zhǎo bǎo wù 。
对方施展祸水东引之策，让自己与那些妖化者在这里拼死拼活，他却趁机溜去寻找宝物。
He snarled, looking around at the copper-skinned corpses that had been completely destroyed in the battle. The ancient demon's heart seemed to be bleeding. He knew how much effort it took to gather thousands of these copper-skinned corpses; they might not match the Silver-winged Corpse King's power, but their strength was considerable.
shì kě rěn ， shú bù kě rěn ， lǎo mó liǎn shàng mǎn shì fèn fèn zhī sè， tā kuài yào bèi qì fēng diào le 。
是可忍，孰不可忍，老魔脸上满是忿忿之sè，他快要被气疯掉了。
He had invested countless efforts and resources into this, only for everything to be lost in one battle.
“ nǐ huì fù chū dài jià de 。”
“你会付出代价的。”
The ancient demon was both regretful and aggrieved. He wished he could tear Lin Xuan limb from limb.
tā è hěn hěn de shuō ， fàng yǎn wàng qù ， zì jǐ xīn xīn kǔ kǔ liàn zhì de shù wàn tóng jiǎ shī yě zài gāng gāng nà yī zhàn sǔn hào dài jìn le ， lǎo mó de xīn ， jiǎn zhí gēn zài dī xuè chà bu duō ， yào zhī dào ， zhè xiē tóng jiǎ shī suī rán yuǎn yuǎn méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ yín chì shī wáng xiàng bǐ ， dàn shí lì yě bù ruò ， ér qiě xiǎng yào shōu jí shù wàn zhī duō ， tā róng yì me ？
他恶狠狠的说，放眼望去，自己辛辛苦苦炼制的数万铜甲尸也在刚刚那一战损耗殆尽了，老魔的心，简直跟在滴血差不多，要知道，这些铜甲尸虽然远远没有办法与银翅尸王相比，但实力也不弱，而且想要收集数万之多，他容易么？
Despite his rage, Lin Xuan's calm voice echoed: "Punishment, what do you want? Do you wish to reduce me to ashes? You've wanted this for the past three months, but did you succeed?"
qián qián hòu hòu ， yě bù zhī dào huā le duō shǎo xīn xuè ， cái zhōng yú yǒu le rú jīn de wǔ mó 。
前前后后，也不知道huā了多少心血，才终于有了如今的妩模。
Lin Xuan's tone carried a hint of mockery. With both parties already at each other's throats, it was an all-out war.
lìng dí rén wén fēng sàng dǎn ， lǎo mó xiàng lái shì yǐn yǐ wéi ào de ， méi xiǎng dào jīn tiān zhè yī zhàn ， mò míng qí miào de jiù quán jūn fù mò zài zhè lǐ 。
令敌人闻风丧胆，老魔向来是引以为傲的，没想到今天这一战，莫名其妙的就全军覆没在这里。
The ancient demon's rage only benefited Lin Xuan. The more he raged, the more likely he would make mistakes in battle.
lǎo mó yòu huǐ yòu tòng ， hèn bù dé jiāng lín xuān shēng tūn huó bō ， jí biàn shì zhè yàng ， yī jiù nán xiāo tā xīn tóu zhī hèn de 。
老魔又悔又痛，恨不得将林轩生吞活剥，即便是这样，依旧难消他心头之恨的。
Although his strength had been weakened significantly, a Spirit Refinement cultivator still couldn't be underestimated.
tā shuāng yǎn zài mào huǒ ， rán ér lín xuān qīng miáo dàn xiě de shēng yīn què chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ dài jià ， nǐ xiǎng yào rú hé ， bǎ lín mǒu cuò gǔ yáng huī diào me ， zhè sān gè yuè ， nǐ bú shì yì zhí xiǎng yào zhè me zuò ， wèn tí rú … nǐ chéng gōng le me ？”
他双眼在冒火，然而林轩轻描淡写的声音却传入耳朵：“代价，你想要如何，把林某挫骨扬灰掉么，这三个月，你不是一直想要这么做，问题如…你成功了么？”
Thus, before making his move, Lin Xuan employed a strategy.
lín xuān de shēng yīn shèn zhì dài zhe jǐ fēn diào guī zhī yì ， fǎn zhèng yǔ duì fāng zǎo jiù sī pò le liǎn pí ， shuāng fāng yǐ shì bù sǐ bù xiū de jié jú 。
林轩的声音甚至带着几分调傀之意，反正与对方早就撕破了脸皮，双方已是不死不休的结局。
"Such an evil fellow, I… must make you regret it. To live or die is beyond my control."
qì qì tā yòu rú hé ， lǎo mó yuè shì bào tiào rú léi ， duì zì jǐ yuè yǒu hǎo chù 。
气气他又如何，老魔越是暴跳如雷，对自己越有好处。
The ancient demon's angry roar echoed in the air. Lin Xuan deliberately provoked him, knowing that he might not fully understand. However, after enduring so much hardship, his anger was too intense to suppress. Even if he knew it was a trap, he would still jump into it.
zhè yàng zhàn dòu de shí hòu ， tā jiù yǒu kě néng duō chū xiàn shī wù 。
这样战斗的时候，他就有可能多出现失误。
Before his words were finished, the ancient demon waved his sleeve again, and a black light shot out with a loud crackling sound, rushing towards him with ferocity.
suī rán duì fāng de shí lì yǐ jīng xuē ruò le hěn duō ， dàn fēn shén qī yī jiù bù róng qīng rǔ 。
虽然对方的实力已经削弱了很多，但分神期依旧不容轻辱。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted; he couldn't see what the treasure was. However, his reaction was swift. He had anticipated such an attack.
gù ér lín xuān zài dòng shǒu yǐ qián ， xiān yòng shàng jì móu le 。
故而林轩在动手以前，先用上计谋了。
Seeing the bright light approaching, Lin Xuan calmly waved his hand, and the Xuan Qing Zimo Shield flew out. The seven shields formed a semi-circle, emitting divine light that merged into a green barrier. A Tai Chi symbol flowed on the surface, making it appear mysterious.
“ nǐ zhè kě wù de jiā huo ， wǒ …… wǒ yí dìng yào ràng nǐ hòu huǐ de ， qiú shēng bù néng ， qiú sǐ bù dé 。”
“你这可恶的家伙，我……我一定要让你后悔的，求生不能，求死不得。”
Plop!
lǎo mó nù xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān gù yì jī nù zì jǐ de zuò fǎ ， lǎo mó wèi bì bù qīng chǔ ， wèn tí shì ， tā chī le nà me duō kǔ ， xīn de nù qì shí zài shì rěn bú zhù ， jiù suàn míng xiǎo de duì fāng shì zài gù bù xiàn jǐng ， yě zhǐ yǒu shǎ hū hū de wǎng xià miàn tiào le 。
老魔怒啸的声音传入耳朵，林轩故意jī怒自己的做法，老魔未必不清楚，问题是，他吃了那么多苦，心的怒气实在是忍不住，就算明晓得对方是在故布陷阱，也只有傻乎乎的往下面跳了。
The black light struck the green barrier. With the two magical treasures colliding, Lin Xuan's expression changed as he was hit and sent flying several dozen feet away.
ér duì fāng huà yīn wèi luò ， zhǐ jiàn lǎo mó xiù páo yī fú ， dùn shí ， yī dào hēi sè de líng máng fēi lüè ér chū ， pī lǐ pā lā de bào xiǎng shēng dà zuò ， è hěn hěn de cháo zhe qián fāng zhā guò lái le 。
而对方话音未落，只见老魔袖袍一拂，顿时，一道黑sè的灵芒飞掠而出，噼里啪啦的爆响声大做，恶狠狠的朝着前方扎过来了。
How terrifying an attack! How powerful!
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， tā jìng rán méi yǒu kàn qīng chǔ shì shén me bǎo wù 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，他竟然没有看清楚是什么宝物。
Lin Xuan shuddered with fear, but a surprised exclamation came from afar. The ancient demon's face showed astonishment. Though he had acted suddenly, it was almost like a sneak attack. He didn't expect the other party to have summoned their defensive magical treasure.
The attack came suddenly, without any prior warning. If another cultivator had faced it, they would likely have been struck down. However, Lin Xuan's experience in magical battles was incredibly rich, and his senses were far more acute than those of an ordinary cultivator.
