巨响声传入耳朵,银芒刺目,将方圆数里,全都笼罩了进去,只见半边天幕”被那璀璨的银光包裹,表面还有一个个拳头大小的玄妙符文浮现而出,旋转吞吐,与之伴随的是磅礴的灵压从天而落。
The deafening sound and blinding silver light enveloped a several-mile radius, with half the sky seemingly wrapped in dazzling silver radiance. Numerous mystic runes of about fist size appeared, rotating and swallowing each other, accompanied by磅礴的精神压力 descending from above.
ràng rén hū xī dōu yǒu xiē jí cù , zhè fù jìn fǎng fú bèi nà páng bó de néng liàng kǎo chéng le yī piàn jiāo tǔ , dà dì bēng tā , fán shì bèi yín máng lǒng zhào zhī wù ” jiē cùn cùn suì liè diào le 。
让人呼吸都有些急促,这附近仿佛被那磅礴的能量烤成了一片焦土,大地崩塌,凡是被银芒笼罩之物”皆寸寸碎裂掉了。
It made breathing difficult; this vicinity seemed to have been scorched into a desolate wasteland, with the earth collapsing as everything within the silver light shattered into fragments.
yuǎn chù , nà xiē cán cún xià lái de fán rén yī zhèn jīng hū , liǎn shàng mǎn shì kǒng jù zhī sè, yǎn qián de jǐng xiàng , fǎng fú yǔ shì jiè mò rì chà bu duō 。
远处,那些残存下来的凡人一阵惊呼,脸上满是恐惧之sè,眼前的景象,仿佛与世界末日差不多。
Far away, the remaining commoners gasped in fear, their faces filled with terror. The scene before them resembled an apocalyptic end of the world.
zài zhè zhǒng dà shén tōng de hōng jī xià ” méi yǒu dōng xī néng gòu cún huó 。
在这种大神通的轰击下”没有东西能够存活。
Under such a powerful divine technique, nothing could survive.
rán ér lín xuān què bìng bú shì nà me lè guān de 。
然而林轩却并不是那么乐观的。
However, Lin Xuan was not so optimistic.
zài jiàn máng jī zhòng xuán bīng de qián yī kè , lǎo guài wù de biǎo qíng hái lì lì zài mù 。
在剑芒击中玄冰的前一刻,老怪物的表情还历历在目。
Just before the sword beam struck the Mystic Ice, he could still clearly see the old monster's expression. Although angry, that look was far from one of despair.
suī rán fèn nù ” dàn nà shén qíng jué bú shì jué wàng de rén yīng gāi yōng yǒu 。
虽然愤怒”但那神情绝不是绝望的人应该拥有。
Despite his confidence in his own techniques, this was his first encounter with a spirit-splitting level elder monster. How would the opponent respond?
jǐn guǎn lín xuān yě duì zì jǐ de zhāo shù xìn xīn shí zú , dàn zhè bì jìng shì tā dì yī cì miàn duì fēn shén jí bié de lǎo guài wù 。
尽管林轩也对自己的招数信心十足,但这毕竟是他第一次面对分神级别的老怪物。
Lin Xuan's mind raced as he stared intently at the center of the explosion. Suddenly, his pupils constricted.
duì fāng huì rú hé yìng fù ?
对方会如何应付?
An incredible scene unfolded before him. Space distorted, and a milky white light flashed. The old monster in the midst of the explosion disappeared entirely.
xuán niàn zài lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng zhuǎn guò , yǎn jīng yī zhǎ bù zhǎ de dīng xiàng bào zhà de zhōng xīn zhī chù 。
悬念在林轩脑海中转过,眼睛一眨不眨的盯像爆炸的中心之处。
"Impossible!"
tū rán , tā tóng kǒng wēi suō 。
突然,他瞳孔微缩。
Lin Xuan saw it clearly; that was not teleportation, for the opponent did not move to another location but truly vanished.
yǎn qián chū xiàn le bù kě sī yì de yí mù 。
眼前出现了不可思议的一幕。
"What...?"
kōng jiān niǔ qū ,rǔ bái sè de guāng máng shǎn guò , shēn chù bào zhà zhōng xīn de lǎo guài wù jū rán xiāo shī le 。
空间扭曲,rǔ白sè的光芒闪过,身处爆炸中心的老怪物居然消失了。
With his extensive experience in magical combat, Lin Xuan had never encountered such a situation before. Shocked, he emitted silver light, driving his Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye to its limit.
“ bù kě néng !”
“不可能!”
Even as the explosion's remnants dissipated, everything was clear under the secret technique of the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye. Yet, the opponent remained completely untraceable.
lín xuān kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ” nà jué bú shì shùn yí shù , duì fāng bìng méi yǒu yí dòng dào bié chù , ér shì zhēn zhèng de xiāo shī bú jiàn le 。
林轩看得清清楚楚”那绝不是瞬移术,对方并没有移动到别处,而是真正的消失不见了。
Lin Xuan was taken aback.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
As he hesitated and wondered how to respond, a spatial disturbance suddenly arose. The void before him distorted, and the opponent reappeared in his original spot.
lín xuān dòu fǎ de jīng yàn hé děng fēng fù , rán ér zhè yàng de shì qíng zhēn méi yǒu yù dào guò , jīng yà zhī yú , tā yǎn zhōng yín máng dà qǐ ” tiān fèng shén mù qū shǐ dào jí zhì 。
林轩斗法的经验何等丰富,然而这样的事情真没有遇到过,惊讶之余,他眼中银芒大起”天凤神目驱使到极致。
He was still trapped by the Mystic Ice, but showed no signs of injury. That strike had been completely dodged.
bào zhà de yú bō shàng wèi xiāo chú , rán ér zài tiān fèng shén mù dì mì shù xià suǒ yǒu de yī qiè dōu kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ , kě duì fāng yī jiù shì zōng jì quán wú 。
爆炸的余bō尚未消除,然而在天凤神目的秘术下所有的一切都看得清清楚楚,可对方依旧是踪迹全无。
How could this be possible?
lín xuān yǒu xiē hài rán le 。
林轩有些骇然了。
Not teleportation... Could it be some other spatial secret technique? Although Lin Xuan did not understand the principle behind this divine technique, it clearly involved distorting space at the moment of attack to hide in thegap between planes. Once the opponent's attack passed, he would reappear from within.
zhèng páng huáng shī cuò ” bù xiǎo de yīng gāi rú hé yìng fù ” kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ ” yǎn qián de xū kōng yī zhèn niǔ qū , duì fāng yòu chū xiàn zài yuán dì 。
正彷徨失措”不晓得应该如何应付”空间bō动骤起”眼前的虚空一阵扭曲,对方又出现在原地。
Thus, no matter how fierce the attack, it could be immune.
cǐ shí cǐ kè , tā yī jiù bèi xuán bīng fēng zhù , rán ér hún shēn shàng xià sī háo shāng hén yě wú , gāng gāng nà yī jī ” tā wán quán duǒ guò 。
此时此刻,他依旧被玄冰封住,然而浑身上下丝毫伤痕也无,刚刚那一击”他完全躲过。
Lin Xuan's face darkened. This secret technique used for defense was truly invincible?
zhè zěn me kě néng ne ?
这怎么可能呢?
However, this thought flashed through his mind only briefly as Lin Xuan noticed that although the old monster had dodged his attack and showed no visible injuries, his complexion was much worse, pale like a corpse, and his aura significantly weakened. If his assumptions were correct, this secret technique could not be easily used; it was likely an ancient monster's hidden skill, closely tied to its primordial essence.
bú shì shùn yí ” nán dào shuō ” shì bié de kōng jiān mì shù ?
不是瞬移”难道说”是别的空间秘术?
With this conclusion, Lin Xuan regained composure.
jǐn guǎn zhè shén tōng de yuán lǐ lín xuān bù qīng chǔ , dàn xiǎn rán shì zài gōng jī lái lín de yī kè jiāng kōng jiān niǔ qū , duǒ rù wèi miàn zhī jiān de fèng xì lǐ , děng duì fāng de gōng jī guò qù , zài cóng lǐ miàn chū qù 。
尽管这神通的原理林轩不清楚,但显然是在攻击来临的一刻将空间扭曲,躲入位面之间的缝隙里,等对方的攻击过去,再从里面出去。
One cannot escape forever. Since the old monster’s attack had failed, he would try again.
rú cǐ yī lái , bù guǎn zài xiōng měng de gōng jī ” yě néng gòu miǎn yì 。
如此一来,不管再凶猛的攻击”也能够免疫。
Lin Xuan took several sips of spirit wine and then recharged his magical power into his treasure.
lín xuān de liǎn sè yǒu xiē nán kàn le , cǐ mì shù yòng yú fáng yù , qǐ bù shì wú dí ?
林轩的脸sè有些难看了,此秘术用于防御,岂不是无敌?
A buzzing sound echoed as the Soul-Sucking Sword resonated with a life-like vibration.
bù guò zhè ge niàn tou jǐn jǐn shì yī shǎn ér guò , xīn xì de lín xuān yě zhù yì dào le , duì fāng suī shuō jiāng zì jǐ de gōng jī duǒ guò ” hún shēn shàng xià sī háo shāng hén yě wú , rán ér liǎn sè” què nán kàn le xǔ duō ” cāng bái dé yǔ sǐ rén chà bu duō , qì xī yě dà fú dù de shuāi ruò , rú guǒ suǒ liào méi cuò , cǐ mì shù bú shì qīng yì kě yǐ shǐ yòng de , duō bàn shì lǎo mó yā xiāng dǐ de gōng fu , ér qiě yǔ běn mìng yuán qì , duō yǒu qiān chě 。
不过这个念头仅仅是一闪而过,心细的林轩也注意到了,对方虽说将自己的攻击躲过”浑身上下丝毫伤痕也无,然而脸sè”却难看了许多”苍白得与死人差不多,气息也大幅度的衰弱,如果所料没错,此秘术不是轻易可以使用的,多半是老魔压箱底的功夫,而且与本命元气,多有牵扯。
But suddenly, an anomaly arose. A crack appeared on the Mystic Ice, initially shallow but rapidly spreading like spider webs in all directions.
dé chū zhè ge jié lùn yǐ hòu ” lín xuān de biǎo qíng chóng xīn zhèn dìng xià lái le 。
得出这个结论以后”林轩的表情重新镇定下来了。
Soon, it covered the entire surface of the ice block.
duǒ dé le chū yī , duǒ bù guò shí wǔ , shì líng jiàn zhè yī cì de gōng jī méi yǒu xiào guǒ , nà jiù zài lái yī huí rú hé 。
躲得了初一,躲不过十五,噬灵剑这一次的攻击没有效果,那就再来一回如何。
With a loud crash, the ice block shattered into pieces, falling from mid-air like broken porcelain.
lín xuān yǎng tóu hē le jǐ kǒu líng jiǔ ” suí hòu jiāng fǎ lì chóng xīn zhù rù shǒu zhōng de bǎo wù 。
林轩仰头喝了几口灵酒”随后将法力重新注入手中的宝物。
Lin Xuan was shocked. Even if it were the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire, he knew it might not have contained this old monster. He never expected such an easy escape.
wēng míng shēng dà zuò ” shì líng jiàn rú yǒu líng xìng yì bān de gòng zhèn qǐ lái le 。
嗡鸣声大做”噬灵剑如有灵xìng一般的共振起来了。
After so much effort, he had only created one attack opportunity for himself.
rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ” yì biàn tū qǐ , yī sī liè hén zài nà xuán bīng shàng fú xiàn ér chū ” kāi shǐ jǐn yǒu qiǎn qiǎn de yī dào hén jì , suí hòu què rú zhī zhū wǎng yì bān , xùn sù cháo zhe sì zhōu kuò sàn 。
然而就在此刻”异变突起,一丝裂痕在那玄冰上浮现而出”开始仅有浅浅的一道痕迹,随后却如蜘蛛网一般,迅速朝着四周扩散。
Damn! Was a spirit-splitting level elder really that powerful?
mì mì má má , hěn kuài jiù bù mǎn le zhěng gè bīng kuài de biǎo miàn 。
密密麻麻,很快就布满了整个冰块的表面。
What should he do—continue fighting or retreat?
suí hòu huā lā yī shēng chuán rù ěr biān , zhěng gè bīng kuài rú qīng huā cí cóng bàn kōng zhōng shuāi luò , cùn cùn suì liè diào le 。
随后哗啦一声传入耳边,整个冰块如青huā瓷从半空中摔落,寸寸碎裂掉了。
Various thoughts raced through his mind as Lin Xuan's gaze became resolute.
lín xuān dà jīng shī sè” suī rán tā yě xiǎo de , jí biàn shì huàn líng tiān huǒ , yě bù yí dìng néng gòu kùn zhù zhè lǎo guài wù , dàn yě wàn wàn bù céng xiǎng dào , duì fāng rú cǐ qīng yì jiù cóng lǐ miàn zhèng tuō 。
林轩大惊失sè”虽然他也晓得,即便是幻灵天火,也不一定能够困住这老怪物,但也万万不曾想到,对方如此轻易就从里面挣脱。
Opportunity knocks but once. Although the old monster appeared overwhelmingly strong now, this was merely an illusion. His strength had significantly weakened compared to its peak. If he could not take this chance to eliminate the old monster, he would be dead without a place to rest in peace.
zì jǐ fèi jìn xīn jī , yě jǐn jǐn chuàng zào le yī cì gōng jī de jī huì miàn jǐ 。
自己费尽心机,也仅仅创造了一次攻击的机会面己。
In other words, he had no choice.
kě wù , fēn shén qī lǎo guài wù , zhēn de yǒu zhè me qiáng me ?
可恶,分神期老怪物,真的有这么强么?
There was no time for contemplation. Lin Xuan felt anger, but the ancient demon was equally infuriated.
zì jǐ gāi rú hé zuò , jì xù dǎ xià qù hái shì zhuǎn shēn táo pǎo ne ?
自己该如何做,继续打下去还是转身逃跑呢?
For so many millennia in the cultivation world, he had never desired to extract and torment someone's soul as much as he did with Lin Xuan. His hatred towards him reached its peak.
gè zhǒng fēn fán de niàn tou zài nǎo hǎi zhōng zhuǎn guò , lín xuān de yǎn shén hěn kuài biàn dé jiān dìng qǐ lái le 。
各种纷繁的念头在脑海中转过,林轩的眼神很快变得坚定起来了。
Their enmity would not end until one of them died.
jī bù kě shī , shī bù zài lái , suī rán cǐ shí cǐ kè , lǎo mó yī jiù xiǎn de shì qiáng dà wú bǐ , dàn zhè jǐn jǐn shì biǎo xiàng ér yǐ 。
机不可失,失不再来,虽然此时此刻,老魔依旧显得是强大无比,但这仅仅是表象而已。
"Kill!"
qí shí tā de shí lì yǔ quán shèng shí qī xiāng bǐ , yǐ jīng xuē ruò le hěn duō , rú guǒ zhè shí hòu bù néng chèn jī miè shā lǎo mó , děng tā huī fù guò lái zì jǐ jiù sǐ wú zàng shēn zhī dì le 。
其实他的实力与全盛时期相比,已经削弱了很多,如果这时候不能趁机灭杀老魔,等他恢复过来自己就死无葬身之地了。
The ancient demon roared. He flicked his left hand, sending a gray-white light streaking toward Lin Xuan.
huàn jù huà shuō , zì jǐ gēn běn méi yǒu duō yú de xuǎn zé 。
换句话说,自己根本没有多余的选择。
Moving too slowly to dodge the Nine Heaven Micro Steps, Lin Xuan was alarmed and quickly raised both hands, pouring all his magical power into it.
rú jīn yě méi yǒu shí jiān màn màn sī suǒ , lín xuān gù rán gǎn jué fèn nù , gǔ lǎo mó hé cháng bú shì yào qì fēng le 。
如今也没有时间慢慢思索,林轩固然感觉愤怒,古老魔何尝不是要气疯了。
Instantly, a clear ringing sound filled the air as the Mystic Ice Mother Shield's light curtain grew denser. The Taiji pattern on its surface rotated ceaselessly, emitting an aura of mystery.
tà rù xiū xiān jiè zhè me duō wàn nián ” tā hái zhòng lái méi yǒu rú cǐ qiáng liè de yuàn wàng yào jiāng yí gè rén chōu hún liàn pò , duì yú lín xuān de yuàn hèn , yǐ jīng dào le wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
踏入修仙界这么多万年”他还重来没有如此强烈的愿望要将一个人抽hún炼魄,对于林轩的怨恨,已经到了无以复加的地步。
The power of this treasure had been fully unleashed by Lin Xuan.
liǎng rén de chóu , bù sǐ bù xiū 。
两人的仇,不死不休。
Boom!
“ shā !”
“杀!”
In the next moment, the gray-white light streaked before Lin Xuan and clashed with the Mystic Ice Mother Shield's light curtain.
gǔ lǎo mó yī shēng dà hē , zhǐ jiàn tā zuǒ shǒu yī dǒu , yī dào huī bái sè de guāng yùn fēi lüè ér chū 。
古老魔一声大喝,只见他左手一抖,一道灰白sè的光晕飞掠而出。
A silent explosion echoed in his ears. Soon, it became sharp.
sù dù jí kuài , rú liú xīng xù yǔ , shè xiàng le lín xuān zhè biān 。
速度极快,如流星絮羽,射像了林轩这边。
The Mystic Ice Mother Shield could not withstand it, being pierced through.
jiǔ tiān wēi bù dōu lái bù jí duǒ , hǎo zài xuán qīng zi mǔ dùn zì jǐ yì zhí jiù méi yǒu chè chú , lín xuān dà jīng shī sè” máng shuāng shǒu píng jǔ ” jiāng hún shēn de fǎ lì , háo bù bǎo liú de zhù rù jìn qù 。
九天微步都来不及躲,好在玄青子母盾自己一直就没有撤除,林轩大惊失sè”忙双手平举”将浑身的法力,毫不保留的注入进去。
A long spear of white bones appeared, its appearance grotesque. Not only did faint runes emerge from its surface, but a ghostly face was vividly carved at the handle, or rather, imprinted there as if alive.
shà shí jiān , qīng míng shēng dà zuò , xuán qīng zi mǔ dùn suǒ huà guāng mù , dùn shí yuè fā de níng hòu le , qí biǎo miàn de tài jí tú àn , gèng shì bù tíng xuán zhuǎn , yī gǔ shén mì de qì xī , suí zhī mí sàn chū qù 。
霎时间,清鸣声大做,玄青子母盾所化光幕,顿时越发的凝厚了,其表面的太极图案,更是不停旋转,一股神秘的气息,随之弥散出去。
The old monster's primordial treasure naturally had extraordinary power.
cǐ bǎo de wēi néng , yǐ bèi lín xuān cuī fā dào jí zhì le 。
此宝的威能,已被林轩催发到极致了。
Even though the Mystic Ice Mother Shield was a copy of a divine artifact, it could not withstand this attack. However, although the light curtain was breached, it still bought him some time.
hōng !
轰!
Lin Xuan moved swiftly with the Nine Heaven Micro Steps to another location. When he reappeared over a hundred feet away, he touched his right shoulder with his left hand.
xià yī kè , huī bái sè de jīng hóng mò rán chū xiàn zài lín xuān shēn qián , yǔ xuán qīng zi mǔ dùn suǒ huà guāng mù , hěn hěn de jī zhuàng zài yì qǐ le 。
下一刻,灰白sè的惊虹蓦然出现在林轩身前,与玄青子母盾所化光幕,狠狠的jī撞在一起了。
Blood flowed from that spot.
chén mò de bào xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ , hěn kuài , nà shēng yīn què biàn dé jiān ruì qǐ lái le 。
沉默的爆响声传入耳朵,很快,那声音却变得尖锐起来了。
With the Mystic Ice Mother Shield blocking the front and using the Nine Heaven Micro Steps, even these measures could not completely nullify the opponent's attack; Lin Xuan was still injured.
xuán qīng zi mǔ dùn jū rán dǐ dǎng bú zhù , bèi hěn hěn de guàn chuān diào le 。
玄青子母盾居然抵挡不住,被狠狠的贯穿掉了。
Damn!
yī bái gǔ cháng máo chū xiàn zài shì xiàn zhōng , zào xíng zhēng níng dào jí chù , bù jǐn biǎo miàn yǒu fú wén ruò yǐn ruò xiàn de pēn bó , zài cháng máo de shǒu bǐng chù , hái yǒu yī guǐ liǎn xǔ xǔ rú shēng de diāo kè ” bù , zhèng què de shuō , gèng xiàng shì lào yìn zài shàng miàn de , fǎng fú huó wù 。
一白骨长矛出现在视线中,造型狰狞到极处,不仅表面有符文若隐若现的喷薄,在长矛的手柄处,还有一鬼脸栩栩如生的雕刻”不,正确的说,更像是烙印在上面的,仿佛活物。
That old fellow was incredibly difficult to deal with. This magical confrontation truly had no guarantees of success. The perilousness compared to his encounter with Ice Soul Demon Ancestor hundreds of years ago was almost on par.
Boom!
The deafening sound and blinding silver light enveloped a several-mile radius, with half the sky seemingly wrapped in dazzling silver radiance. Numerous mystic runes of about fist size appeared, rotating and swallowing each other, accompanied by磅礴的精神压力 descending from above.
It made breathing difficult; this vicinity seemed to have been scorched into a desolate wasteland, with the earth collapsing as everything within the silver light shattered into fragments.
Far away, the remaining commoners gasped in fear, their faces filled with terror. The scene before them resembled an apocalyptic end of the world.
Under such a powerful divine technique, nothing could survive.
However, Lin Xuan was not so optimistic.
Just before the sword beam struck the Mystic Ice, he could still clearly see the old monster's expression. Although angry, that look was far from one of despair.
