lín xuān fǎn yìng bǐ tā xiǎng xiàng de hái yào xùn .qpz
林轩反应比他想象的还要迅.qpz
Lin Xuan's reaction was even quicker than expected. This Water Cloud Needle was a precious treasure he had obtained through much effort, and it could be quite formidable against peers of his level. Although his current state wasn't optimal, he should have been able to defeat a Core Formation Period cultivator in one fell swoop. However, the old demon managed to block his attack with ease.
zhè shuǐ yún zhuī nǎi shì tā fèi jǐn bō zhé cái dé dào de yī jiàn bǎo wù ， biàn shì duì shàng tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， nà yě shì fēi cháng xī lì de ， suī rán cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zì jǐ zhuàng tài bù jiā ， dàn àn lǐ shuō ， miǎo shā yī dòng xuán qī xiū shì yě bù gāi yǒu wèn tí ， nǎ xiǎo de ， què bèi duì fāng rú cǐ qīng yì de dǎng xià le 。
这水云锥乃是他费尽波折才得到的一件宝物，便是对上同阶修仙者，那也是非常犀利的，虽然此时此刻，自己状态不佳，但按理说，秒杀一洞玄期修士也不该有问题，哪晓得，却被对方如此轻易的挡下了。
The old demon was somewhat stunned, but Lin Xuan was not someone who would just take hits without retaliating. He flicked his sleeves, and several sword lights emerged, expanding rapidly upon contact with the wind until each was over a meter long. Then, he closed his hands together, and a massive sword appeared, about ten meters in diameter. Although this weapon was formed from gathered spiritual energy, it seemed almost tangible.
lǎo mó yǒu diǎn měng ， ér lín xuān zì rán bú huì shì guāng ái dǎ bù huán shǒu de rén wù 。
老魔有点懵，而林轩自然不会是光挨打不还手的人物。
The surface of the giant sword even emitted faint runes.
zhǐ jiàn tā xiù páo yī fú ， qīng guāng yào mù ， shù shí dào jiàn guāng yú yóu ér chū ， yíng fēng yī huǎng ， xùn bào zhǎng ， hěn kuài měi yī dào dōu yǒu zhàng xǔ zhǎng 。
只见他袖袍一拂，青光耀目，数十道剑光鱼游而出，迎风一晃，迅暴涨，很快每一道都有丈许长。
"Drop!" Lin Xuan roared.
suí hòu wǎng jiān yī hé ， yī dào zhí jìng shí yú zhàng zhǎng de jù jiàn fú xiàn ér chū ， cǐ bǎo suī shì fǎ lì yǔ tiān dì yuán qì jù hé ， dàn kàn shàng qù què fàn hòu fú rú yǒu shí zhì shì de 。
随后往间一合，一道直径十余丈长的巨剑浮现而出，此宝虽是法力与天地元气聚合，但看上去却饭后服如有实质似的。
A loud tearing sound echoed as the sword pierced through the air, heading straight for the old demon's head. The ancient demon was taken aback but quickly regained his composure.
jù jiàn de biǎo miàn shèn zhì yǐn yǐn hái yǒu fú pēn bó 。
巨剑的表面甚至隐隐还有符喷薄。
Lin Xuan’s strength was indeed stronger than expected, but that didn’t matter. Could this brat really challenge a Core Formation Period cultivator? He feared Lin Xuan would try to take advantage of his weakened state, so he wouldn't be easily defeated.
lín xuān yī shēng bào hē ：“ luò ”
林轩一声暴喝：“落”
With a sigh, Lin Xuan flipped his wrist and summoned a small array flag. The blue flag swelled as it danced in the air, growing several times its original size. It emitted a faint hum, and various runes carved into its surface shimmered, creating an aura of mystery and power.
dùn shí ， cī lā shēng dà zuò ， cǐ jiàn hěn hěn de yíng tóu pī cì guò qù le 。
顿时，刺啦声大做，此剑狠狠的迎头劈刺过去了。
While he couldn’t control spiritual energy with just his hands, this Five Elements Enriching Spirit Array Flag could change that. With the flag’s assistance, the outcome was uncertain.
gǔ lǎo mó yī dāi ， suí hòu què bù nù fǎn xǐ qǐ lái 。
古老魔一呆，随后却不怒反喜起来。
As the flag moved, water attributes from the surrounding environment converged here.
suī rán lín xuān de shí lì ， bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái qiáng ， bù guò nà yòu rú hé ， nán dào shuō ， tā hái zhēn néng tiǎo zhàn zì jǐ zhè wèi fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ？
虽然林轩的实力，比自己想象的还强，不过那又如何，难道说，他还真能挑战自己这位分神期修仙者？
Countless ice crystals, each about the size of a palm, suddenly appeared in the air, covering several miles with their frosty presence.
tā pà de shì lín xuān zhuǎn shēn jiù táo ， zhǐ yào bù pǎo ， dà bù liǎo duō fèi yì diǎn lì qì yǔ gōng fu ， zuì zhōng yě néng jiāng qí xiáng fú 。
他怕的是林轩转身就逃，只要不跑，大不了多费一点力气与功夫，最终也能将其降伏。
"..."
“ xiǎo jiā huo ， nǐ tài kuáng wàng le 。”
“小家伙，你太狂妄了。”
The old demon's expression changed as he realized what Lin Xuan had done.
gǔ lǎo mó lěng hēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu zhǐ jiàn tā yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， wǔ zhǐ wēi qū ， xiàng zhe qián fāng xū zhuā ér qù 。
古老魔冷哼的声音传入耳朵，随后只见他右手抬起，五指微曲，向着前方虚抓而去。
"You managed to block my Iron Feather Flea Saber. Now try this," Lin Xuan said before waving his array flag again. The ice crystals shot forward like arrows from a powerful bow, heading straight for the old demon.
guǐ kū zhī shēng dà zuò ， màn tiān de yīn qì ， dōu bèi tā cǎi xié dào le shǒu lǐ ， suí hòu wǎng jiān yī jù ， yī bái gǔ cháng máo chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
鬼哭之声大做，漫天的阴气，都被他采撷到了手里，随后往间一聚，一白骨长矛出现在了视线里。
"Trivial tricks. Your flying knives were useless earlier. Do you think this move can harm me?"
xiàng zhe tóu dǐng de jù jiàn yíng qù 。
向着头顶的巨剑迎去。
The old demon's face showed disdain as he spread his hands widely. More corpse energy emerged and condensed into thick tentacles, covering him completely.
pēng ！
嘭！
With a roar, countless ice crystals rushed towards the old demon.
liǎng bǎo zhuàng jī ， jù dà de hōng míng shēng chuán rù le ěr lǐ ， shēng bō xiàng zhe sì zhōu kuò sàn le kāi qù ， xìng hǎo fù jìn méi yǒu fán rén yǔ yāo huà zhě ， fǒu zé guāng shì zhè shēng bō jiù zú gòu ràng tā men bào tǐ 。
两宝撞击，巨大的轰鸣声传入了耳里，声波向着四周扩散了开去，幸好附近没有凡人与妖化者，否则光是这声波就足够让他们爆体。
Just like with the Iron Feather Flea Saber, the ice crystals were numerous but the tentacles were formidable, moving swiftly to block them all. The ice crystals melted upon contact without causing much damage.
gōng jī bèi dǎng zhù ， lín xuān de shí lì ， suī rán yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， dàn yǔ fēn shén qī lǎo guài wù xiāng bǐ ， bì jìng hái shì yǒu zhe hěn dà de chā jù 。
攻击被挡住，林轩的实力，虽然远远胜过同阶修仙者，但与分神期老怪物相比，毕竟还是有着很大的差距。
"You brat, you might be strong at Core Formation Period, but facing me, you’re overestimating yourself."
lián nà jù jiàn ， dōu cùn cùn suì liè kāi 。
连那巨剑，都寸寸碎裂开。
The old demon's sinister laughter echoed as he prepared his next move. However, an unexpected event occurred.
lín xuān liǎn sè yī biàn ， bù guò gāng cái de gōng jī ， běn lái jiù shì shì tàn xìng zhì ， lín xuān gēn běn jiù méi yǒu xiǎng guò kào tā kè dí ， yǎn jiàn méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， yě bù qì něi shén me ， zuǒ shǒu shēn chū ， zài yāo jiān yī mǒ ， dùn shí ， wú shù liǔ yè xíng zhuàng de fēi dāo fú xiàn ér chū ， pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， zhè xiē bàn tòu míng de bǎo wù ， hěn hěn de cháo zhe qián fāng jī è shè guò qù le 。
林轩脸色一变，不过刚才的攻击，本来就是试探性质，林轩根本就没有想过靠他克敌，眼见没有用处，也不气馁什么，左手伸出，在腰间一抹，顿时，无数柳叶形状的飞刀浮现而出，破空声大做，这些半透明的宝物，狠狠的朝着前方激垩射过去了。
Suddenly, a warning signal flashed in the old demon’s mind. He looked up and noticed that one of the ice crystals seemed... bluer than the others.
“ bān mén nòng fǔ ！”
“班门弄斧！”
"Bad luck"
gǔ lǎo mó zuǐ jiǎo biān fú xiàn chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè ， zhè lǎo jiā huǒ ， jū rán rèn hé fáng yù de fǎ bǎo dōu méi yǒu jì chū ， zhí jiē zhè me liǎng shǒu yī hé ， hún shēn shàng xià shī qì dà zuò ， yǐ tā wèi xīn ， shī wù fān yǒng 。
古老魔嘴角边浮现出一丝讥嘲之色，这老家伙，居然任何防御的法宝都没有祭出，直接这么两手一合，浑身上下尸气大做，以他为心，尸雾翻涌。
Even though he didn’t know what this crystal was, it wasn't from the array flag. The old demon was alarmed but it was too late to change his strategy.
yī tiáo tiáo rú tóng yāo mó bān de chù shǒu fú xiàn ér chū ， huò chán huò dǎ ， tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo jū rán wèi néng jiàn gōng ， měi yī bǐng dōu bèi duì fāng qīng ér yì jǔ de gěi dǎng zhù 。
一条条如同妖魔般的触手浮现而出，或缠或打，铁羽飞蝗刀居然未能建功，每一柄都被对方轻而易举的给挡住。
A strange sound filled the air as the ice crystal melted and a small flame about the size of an egg appeared, emitting a piercing blue light. The four attributes of Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire could be adjusted according to need, and Lin Xuan had converted all its effects into extreme cold.
lín xuān de liǎn sè yǒu xiē nán kàn le 。
林轩的脸色有些难看了。
The flame swelled to several feet in diameter, forming a freezing fireball that crashed down on the old demon.
bù kuì shì fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， qí tā de běn lǐng zàn qiě bù tí ， jǐn jiù tiān dì yuán qì de cāo kòng ， zì jǐ pāi mǎ yě wú fǎ yǔ duì fāng xiāng bǐ 。
不愧是分神期修仙者，其他的本领暂且不提，仅就天地元气的操控，自己拍马也无法与对方相比。
Deception is a weapon!
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， shǒu wàn fān zhuǎn ， yí miàn bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de zhèn qí fú xiàn chū lái ， cǐ zhèn qí zuò lán sè ， qīng qīng yī wǔ ， dùn shí yíng fēng bào zhǎng ， yǒu yuán xiān de shù bèi lái zhǎng 。
林轩叹了口气，手腕翻转，一面巴掌大小的阵旗浮现出来，此阵旗做蓝色，轻轻一舞，顿时迎风暴涨，有原先的数倍来长。
After their initial skirmish, Lin Xuan had already gauged some of his opponent’s strength. Although the old demon was weaker than usual, he wasn’t easily dealt with. Core Formation Period cultivators were far from Core Formation, and even if it was an opportunity to strike, he still couldn't be certain of success.
biǎo miàn guāng yùn tūn tǔ ， bìng qiě yǒu yī zhèn zhèn wēng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shàng miàn suǒ lòu kè de gè zhǒng fú shén mì yǐ jí ， céng céng dié dié ， lán guāng shǎn dòng jiān ， xiǎn chū yī zhǒng nán yǐ yán yù de shén mì zhī qì 。
表面光晕吞吐，并且有一阵阵嗡鸣声传入耳朵，上面所镂刻的各种符神秘以极，层层叠叠，蓝光闪动间，显出一种难以言喻的神秘之气。
Thus, Lin Xuan decided to use strategy instead of brute force. He didn't intend to defeat the old demon with the Five Elements Enriching Spirit Array Flag; that was just a decoy. The real killer weapon was Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire.
kōng shǒu kòng zhì tiān dì yuán qì ， zì jǐ shì méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ duì fāng xiāng bǐ ， bù guò ruò yǒu zhè wǔ xíng yùn líng zhèn de zhèn qí xiāng zhù ， shèng fù rú hé ， kě jiù shì liǎng shuō 。
空手控制天地元气，自己是没有办法与对方相比，不过若有这五行蕴灵阵的阵旗相助，胜负如何，可就是两说。
Though this fire had proven formidable in the past, he estimated it might be harder for the old demon to resist if used openly. So, Lin Xuan concealed the fire within many ice crystals, creating a deceptive illusion to catch his opponent off guard.
suí zhe cǐ bǎo qīng qīng yī wǔ ， sì zhōu de shuǐ shǔ xìng tiān dì yuán qì ， jìng rán fēng yōng lái dào le cǐ chù 。
随着此宝轻轻一舞，四周的水属性天地元气，竟然蜂拥来到了此处。
Sure enough, the old demon was alarmed but didn’t give up without trying something else.
wú shù bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de xì cháng bīng jīng ， suí hòu píng kōng fú xiàn ér chū ， mì mì má má ， fāng yuán shù lǐ ， quán dōu bèi hán qì zhē bì 。
无数巴掌大小的细长冰晶，随后凭空浮现而出，密密麻麻，方圆数里，全都被寒气遮蔽。
"Rumble!"
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
The ancient demon roared as he spread his hands widely. His tentacles converged and formed a massive tentacle about a meter in diameter, like a terrifying whip that struck at the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire.
lǎo guài wù zhōng yú yǒu xiē sè biàn le 。
老怪物终于有些色变了。
Their powers clashed with a loud crackle.
“ nǐ néng gòu jiāng tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo dǎng zhù ， zài shì shì lín mǒu cǐ bǎo de wēi lì rú hé 。”
“你能够将铁羽飞蝗刀挡住，再试试林某此宝的威力如何。”
Despite expecting an explosive sound, it was silent. However, what followed shocked the old demon as he realized his defenses were useless.
huà yīn wèi luò ， lín xuān shǒu de zhèn qí qīng qīng yī wǔ ， dùn shí pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， nà màn tiān de bīng jīng ， rú tóng bèi qiáng gōng yìng nǔ shè ， dùn shí xiàng zhe qián fāng bào shè guò qù le 。
话音未落，林轩手的阵旗轻轻一舞，顿时破空声大做，那漫天的冰晶，如同被强弓硬弩射，顿时向着前方爆射过去了。
A tearing sound echoed as the tentacle froze, and nearby corpse energy began to solidify into ice.
“ diāo chóng xiǎo jì ， nǐ gāng gāng de fēi dāo méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， yǐ wéi zhè zhāo jiù néng nài hé lǎo dà ？”
“雕虫小技，你刚刚的飞刀没有用处，以为这招就能奈何老大？”
Lin Xuan's heart filled with joy. With his calculated strategy, the old demon’s sudden attack couldn’t withstand the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire.
gǔ lǎo mó de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī bù xiè zhī sè ， shuāng shǒu dà kāi dà hé ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， gèng duō de shī qì fēng yōng ér chū ， níng jié chéng yī tiáo tiáo ér bì cū de chù shǒu ， shàng xià bǎi dòng ， rú kuáng mó luàn wǔ ， jiāng zì jǐ zhěng gè shēn tǐ ， zhē bì dé fēng yǔ bù tòu 。
古老魔的脸上闪过一丝不屑之色，双手大开大阖，随着他的动作，更多的尸气蜂拥而出，凝结成一条条儿臂粗的触手，上下摆动，如狂魔乱舞，将自己整个身体，遮蔽得风雨不透。
Soon, not only did the old demon’s corpse energy freeze over, but he was encased in a blue ice armor, turning him into an ice sculpture frozen in mid-air.
xià yī kè ， màn tiān de bīng jīng yǐ jīng fēng yōng guò lái le 。
下一刻，漫天的冰晶已经蜂拥过来了。
"Core Formation Period old monster? You’re still caught in my trap."
jié guǒ yǔ gāng gāng tiě yǔ fēi fù dāo de qíng shì xiāng tóng ， bīng jīng suī duō ， dàn nà chù shǒu gèng shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， ér qiě wǔ dòng dé shí fēn xùn jié ， lián shuǐ dōu pō bù jìn qù ， jié guǒ suǒ yǒu de bīng jīng dōu shì yī chù jí miè ， lùn wēi lì ， sì hū hái wú fǎ yǔ tiě yǔ fēi fù dāo xiāng bǐ 。
结果与刚刚铁羽飞蝮刀的情势相同，冰晶虽多，但那触手更是非同小可，而且舞动得十分迅捷，连水都泼不进去，结果所有的冰晶都是一触即灭，论威力，似乎还无法与铁羽飞蝮刀相比。
Lin Xuan's cold laughter echoed with a hint of satisfaction. However, his work wasn't done yet. He extended his right hand and flicked it, releasing a short sword about a foot long.
“ xiǎo jiā huo ， zài dòng xuán qī xiū shì ， huò xǔ nǐ kě yǐ suàn yī míng qiáng zhě ， rán ér yǔ lǎo fū xiāng bǐ ， què yǒu xiē tài zì bù liàng lì le 。”
“小家伙，在洞玄期修士，或许你可以算一名强者，然而与老夫相比，却有些太自不量力了。”
The sword was simple but elegant, exuding an aura of power.
gǔ lǎo mó níng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā zhōng yú yáng méi tǔ qì le ， nà xiǎo jiā huo ， yǐ wéi zì jǐ zhuàng tài bù jiā jiù kě yǐ lái chèn huǒ dǎ jié me ， tài tiān zhēn le 。
古老魔狞笑的声音传入耳朵，此时此刻，他终于扬眉吐气了，那小家伙，以为自己状态不佳就可以来趁火打劫么，太天真了。
Lin Xuan grasped the sword, took a deep breath, and infused all his spiritual energy into it.
tā yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， zhèng xiǎng yào jiāng lìng wài yī jiàn bǎo wù jì chū qù ， rú jīn gāi lún dào zì jǐ gōng jī 。
他右手抬起，正想要将另外一件宝物祭出去，如今该轮到自己攻击。
Instantly, a fierce light erupted as磅礴的灵气以林轩手中的仙剑为中心，向四周轰然爆发。林轩右手狠狠向下挥落。
rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， yì biàn tū qǐ le 。
然而就在此刻，异变突起了。
灵气汇聚，一道银色的剑芒凭空而起，长达七八丈，耀眼夺目，表面符文若隐若现地喷吐旋转，狠狠斩向被封印在玄冰中的老怪物。
sī háo zhēng zhào yě wú ， lǎo mó xīn tū rán chǎn shēng le yī sī jǐng zhào ， tā yǒu diǎn jīng chà de tái qǐ tóu lú ， xiàn yǒu yī kuài bīng jīng de yán sè sì hū …… zěn me shuō ne ， yǔ páng biān de bīng jīng xiāng bǐ ， xiǎn de tài lán le yī xiē 。
丝毫征兆也无，老魔心突然产生了一丝警兆，他有点惊诧的抬起头颅，现有一块冰晶的颜色似乎……怎么说呢，与旁边的冰晶相比，显得太蓝了一些。
趁你病要你命！对敌人当然不必手下留情。噬灵剑此时虽然没有四灵浮现，但仅从威力来说，银色剑气有所削弱，但这只是相对而言，这种形态的攻击最为合适。
xíng zhuàng yě …………
形状也…………
而老怪物动弹不得，可以说是最好的靶子了。
“ bù hǎo ”
“不好”
“哼哼，Core Formation Period又如何？在这种情况下能抵挡住我的攻击吗？”林轩心中得意地想着。然而，冰封的老怪物瞪大了眼睛，一着不慎满盘皆输，但他不甘心就这样陨落。
suī rán bù xiǎo de cǐ bīng jīng shì hé wù ， dàn jué bú shì gāng gāng nà miàn zhèn qí níng jù chū lái de 。
虽然不晓得此冰晶是何物，但绝不是刚刚那面阵旗凝聚出来的。
可是眼前的玄冰真的难以破除，如果时间够长也许他还能够想出办法，但现在根本不可能。
lǎo mó dà jīng shī sè ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， biàn zhāo yǐ jīng lái bù jí le 。
老魔大惊失色，然而此时此刻，变招已经来不及了。
该怎么办呢？
qí guài de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà bīng jīng róng huà diào le ， suí hòu yī tuán jī dàn dà xiǎo de huǒ yàn téng shēng ér qǐ ， lán máng cì mù ， huàn líng tiān huǒ de sì zhǒng shǔ xìng shì kě yǐ gēn jù xū yào zì è yóu zhuǎn huàn de ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān ràng jù dú yòu fǔ shí 、 hái yǒu tūn shì quán bù zhuǎn huà wèi jí hán zhī lì le 。
奇怪的声音传入耳朵，那冰晶融化掉了，随后一团鸡蛋大小的火焰腾升而起，蓝芒刺目，幻灵天火的四种属性是可以根据需要自垩由转换的，此时此刻，林轩让剧毒又腐蚀、还有吞噬全部转化为极寒之力了。
“未必”
nà huǒ yàn lüè yī fān gǔn ， suí hòu jiù bào zhǎng dào zhí jìng chǐ xǔ fāng yuán ， huà wèi yī kè jí hán de huǒ qiú ， hěn hěn de cháo zhe lǎo mó zá luò 。
那火焰略一翻滚，随后就暴涨到直径尺许方圆，化为一刻极寒的火球，狠狠的朝着老魔砸落。
眼看剑芒已接近自己身周三尺之处，尽管老恶魔依旧动弹不得，但他的眸底突然闪烁起厉芒。
bīng bù yàn zhà ！
兵不厌诈！
这么近的距离难道他还有别的花样？林轩心中念头一转，只见剑芒狠狠撞击上去。
Lin Xuan's reaction was even quicker than expected. This Water Cloud Needle was a precious treasure he had obtained through much effort, and it could be quite formidable against peers of his level. Although his current state wasn't optimal, he should have been able to defeat a Core Formation Period cultivator in one fell swoop. However, the old demon managed to block his attack with ease.
The old demon was somewhat stunned, but Lin Xuan was not someone who would just take hits without retaliating.

Then, he closed his hands together, and a massive sword appeared, about ten meters in diameter. Although this weapon was formed from gathered spiritual energy, it seemed almost tangible.
The surface of the giant sword even emitted faint runes.

While he couldn’t control spiritual energy with just his hands, this Five Elements Enriching Spirit Array Flag could change that. With the flag’s assistance, the outcome was uncertain.
As the flag moved, water attributes from the surrounding environment converged here.
Countless ice crystals, each about the size of a palm, suddenly appeared in the air, covering several miles with their frosty presence.

“哼哼，Core Formation Period又如何？在这种情况下能抵挡住我的攻击吗？”林轩心中得意地想着。然而，冰封的老怪物瞪大了眼睛，一着不慎满盘皆输，但他不甘心就这样陨落。
可是眼前的玄冰真的难以破除，如果时间够长也许他还能够想出办法，但现在根本不可能。
该怎么办呢？
