第两千一百五十三章 大战凶虫

cǐ chóng de zī liào zài nǎo hǎi zhōng zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān yě liǎn zhǔ dà biàn le 。

此虫的资料在脑海中转过，林轩也脸煮大变了。

The information about this insect flashed through Lin Xuan's mind, and his expression changed dramatically.

lì dí fēn shén qī ？

力敌分神期？

Power against a Spirit Dividing Realm?

chuán shuō ruò shì zhēn de ， nà zì jǐ kě jiù cǎn le 。

传说若是真的，那自己可就惨了。

If that was true, then he would be in serious trouble.

suī shuō miè shā le gǔ lǎo mó ， dàn lín xuān kě bù rèn wéi ， zì jǐ de shí lì jiù zhēn néng yǔ fēn shén qī lǎo guài wù píng fēn qiū sè ， nà shì hé zhǒng jī yuán qiǎo hé ， tóng yàng de chǎng jǐng ， shì jué bù kě néng fù zhì de 。

虽说灭杀了古老魔，但林轩可不认为，自己的实力就真能与分神期老怪物平分秋色，那是和种机缘巧合，同样的场景，是绝不可能复制的。

Although he had killed the ancient demon, Lin Xuan did not believe that his strength could truly match up to a Spirit Dividing Realm monster. It was just a matter of chance. The same scenario couldn't be replicated.

lín xuān shèn zhì xiǎng yào zhuǎn shēn ér táo 。

林轩甚至想要转身而逃。

Lin Xuan even wanted to turn and run away.

yīn wèi zhè me dà de zǐ luó wén shī chóng ， què shí hěn xiàng chéng shú tǐ ， yǔ chuán shuō xiāng chā wú jǐ 。

因为这么大的紫罗纹尸虫，确实很像成熟体，与传说相差无几。

Because this purple wove corpse insect was indeed mature, resembling the legends almost perfectly.

hǎo zài jiù zài cǐ jìng ， yī dào líng guāng zài nǎo hǎi zhōng zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān yòu chóng xīn zhèn dìng xià lái le 。

好在就在此竟，一道灵光在脑海中转过，林轩又重新镇定下来了。

Fortunately, a burst of spiritual light flashed through his mind, and Lin Xuan regained his composure.

bú duì ！

不对！

No!

huàn yǎng cǐ chóng suī rán wēi xiǎn ， dàn yě méi yǒu tīng shuō ， shǐ yòng de shí hòu xū yào zì bào 。

豢养此虫虽然危险，但也没有听说，使用的时候需要自爆。

While raising such an insect was dangerous, there were no reports that it required self-destruction when used. If that were true, nobody would raise this insect despite its immense power. What was the point of the thin demon doing all this?

ruò shì rú cǐ ， cǐ chóng jiù suàn zài wēi lì wú biān ， yě bú huì yǒu rén yǎng ， nà shòu mó zhè me zuò ， jiū jìng yǒu hé yòng yì ne ？

若是如此，此虫就算再威力无边，也不会有人养，那瘦魔这么做，究竟有何用意呢？

Could it be that this insect wasn't fully mature and the thin demon had poured all his spiritual energy and primordial essence into its body to seek revenge?

huì bú huì shì cǐ chóng qí shí yuǎn hái méi yǒu chéng shú ， ér cǐ mó wèi le bào chóu ， jiāng zì jǐ hún shēn de fǎ lì yǔ běn mìng yuán qì zhù rù cǐ chóng de shēn tǐ 。

会不会是此虫其实远还没有成熟，而此魔为了报仇，将自己浑身的法力与本命元气注入此虫的身体。

If so, it could indeed quickly mature in a short time.

ruò shì zhè yàng zuò ， què shí kě yǐ zài jí duǎn de shí jiān nèi jiāng qí cuī shú 。

若是这样做，确实可以在极短的时间内将其催熟。

Yes, that must be it.

ń ， yí dìng shì rú cǐ 。

嗯，一定是如此。

This explanation was the most reasonable. Self-destruction would allow for the maximum injection of spiritual energy and primordial essence.

yīn wèi zhè ge jiě jìng ， zuì hé lǐ ， yòng zì bào fāng shì ， cái kě yǐ jǐn kě néng duō de zhù rù fǎ lì yǔ běn mìng yuán qì 。

因为这个解径，最合理，用自爆方式，才可以尽可能多的注入法力与本命元气。

Lin Xuan had seen enough to think of this possibility instantly.

lín xuān yě shì jiàn shí guǎng bó ， yī shùn jiān jiù xiǎng dào zhè ge kě néng xìng le 。

林轩也是见识广博，一瞬间就想到这个可能性了。

If true, there was no need to fear too much.

jiǎ rú zhēn shì rú cǐ ， dào bù yòng tài guò wèi jù 。

假如真是如此，倒不用太过畏惧。

Because such a prematurely matured demon insect could only maintain its form for a short time. Once the spiritual energy and primordial essence were depleted, it would revert to its original state.

yīn wèi nà yàng cuī shú de mó chóng ， yě jǐn jǐn shì jiǎ chéng shú tǐ ， zhǐ néng chí xù yī duàn shí jiān ér yǐ ， yí dàn fǎ lì yǔ běn mìng yuán qì hào jìn ， jiù huì bèi dǎ huí yuán xíng 。

因为那样催熟的魔虫，也仅仅是假成熟体，只能持续一段时间而已，一旦法力与本命元气耗尽，就会被打回原形。

On balance, the other party's plan wasn't wrong. Generally speaking, Spirit Dividing Realm beings could easily kill Cave Profound ones in an instant.

píng xīn lái shuō ， duì fāng de dǎ suàn méi cuò ， yīn wèi yì bān qíng kuàng xià ， fēn shén jí bié de cún zài shì kě yǐ miǎo shā dòng xuán de 。

平心来说，对方的打算没错，因为一般情况下，分神级别的存在是可以秒杀洞玄的。

But what of that? Could he not outthink common sense?

bù guò nà yòu rú hé ， zì jǐ qǐ shì cháng lǐ qīng gòu chuǎi mó ？

不过那又如何，自己岂是常理轻够揣摩？

While a Spirit Dividing Realm cultivator couldn't defeat him, Lin Xuan was still confident about holding his ground for a while.

fēn shén qī xiū shì zì jǐ què shí dǎ bù guò ， dàn jǐn jǐn jiān chí yī duàn shí jiān lín xuān hái shì yǒu zì xìn de 。

分神期修士自己确实打不过，但仅仅坚持一段时间林轩还是有自信的。

You have your Zhāng Liáng's strategy; I have my ladder over the wall. The thin demon's plans were correct, but this time, he would likely waste his efforts.

nǐ yǒu nǐ de zhāng liáng jì ， wǒ yǒu wǒ de guò qiáng tī ， shòu mó de rú yì suàn pán dǎ dé méi cuò ， dàn zhè yī cì ， kǒng pà hái bái fèi lì qì de 。

你有你的张良计，我有我的过墙梯，瘦魔的如意算盘打得没错，但这一次，恐怕还白费力气的。

But regardless, Lin Xuan did not dare be careless. A mature purple wove corpse insect was truly at the level of a Spirit Dividing Realm existence.

dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， lín xuān yě bù gǎn dà yì shén me ， chéng shú tǐ de zǐ luó wén shī chóng ， nà zhēn shì fēn shén jí bié de cún zài le 。

但不管如何，林轩也不敢大意什么，成熟体的紫罗纹尸虫，那真是分神级别的存在了。

---

xiān xià shǒu wéi qiáng ， hòu xià shǒu zāo yāng 。

先下手为强，后下手遭殃。

First strike is advantageous; second strike suffers disadvantage.

nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn bàn

脑海中念头转办

Thoughts raced through Lin Xuan's mind as he inserted his sleeve and shot out a black sharpness. He once again unleashed the Secret Art of Ink Spirit Drill to test this insect's abilities.

lín xuān xiù páo yī chā ， yī dào hēi sè de lì máng jī è shè ér chū ， lín xuān zài yí cì shī zhǎn chū mò líng zuān mì shù ， qiě shì shì cǐ chóng de shén tōng jiū jìng rú hé 。

林轩袖袍一插，一道黑色的厉芒激垩射而出，林轩再一次施展出墨灵钻秘术，且试试此虫的神通究竟如何。

"Zhi...,"

“ zhī …，…,

“吱…，…,

The insect made a loud noise, opening its mouth and spraying out a gray-white light beam. Though it didn't seem extraordinary, its power was immense, actually annihilating itself with Lin Xuan's technique.

chóng míng shēng dà zuò ， cǐ chóng zhāng kāi kǒu ， yě shì háo bù shì ruò de pēn chū yī dào huī bái sè guāng zhù ， kàn shì méi yǒu shén me chū qí ， dàn wēi lì yě shì wú bǐ ， jū rán yǔ lín xuān de zhāo shù tóng guī yú jìn le bīng

虫鸣声大做，此虫张开口，也是毫不示弱的喷出一道灰白色光柱，看似没有什么出奇，但威力也是无比，居然与林轩的招数同归于尽了冫

Equal strength!

shì jūn lì dí ！

势均力敌！

Lin Xuan's eyes showed surprise. The Ink Spirit Drill was something he had only just managed to refine, while the opponent merely cast a casual attack.

lín xuān yǎn zhōng liú lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì ， mò líng zuān kě shì zì jǐ hǎo bù róng yì cái liàn chéng de mì shù ， ér duì fāng bù guò shì qīng miáo dàn xiě de yī jī 。

林轩眼中流露出几分诧异，墨灵钻可是自己好不容易才炼成的秘术，而对方不过是轻描淡写的一击。

Though seemingly evenly matched, the outcome was clear.

kàn shì píng fēn qiū sè ， qí shí yǐ gāo xià lì pàn le 。

看似平分秋色，其实已高下立判了。

The legends were right; this purple wove corpse insect truly belonged at the level of a Spirit Dividing Realm.

chuán shuō guǒ rán méi cuò ， zhè zǐ luó wén shī chóng zhēn shì fēn shén jí bié de 。

传说果然没错，这紫罗纹尸虫真是分神级别的。

Despite his prior guesses, Lin Xuan still couldn't help but take in a sharp breath.

jǐn guǎn yǐ yǒu cāi kè ， dàn lín xuān hái shì rěn bú zhù dào xī le yī kǒu liáng qì 。

尽管已有猜刻，但林轩还是忍不住倒吸了一口凉气。

Then he cast another spell and the Iron Feather Flying Locust Sword shot out to bombard the opponent. However, it was ineffective as well. With both treasures working together, they only slightly slowed down the insect's speed.

suí hòu zhǐ jiàn tā yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， tóu dǐng de tiān léi shā gǔn gǔn ér chū ， dùn shí bào liè shēng dà zuò ， kě jū rán méi yǒu yòng tú ， cǐ chóng jǐn jǐn shì lüè yī huǎng dòng ， shēn tǐ biǎo miàn jiù yǒu yī céng dàn zǐ sè de hù zhào fú xiàn ér chū 。

随后只见他一道法诀打出，头顶的天雷沙滚滚而出，顿时爆裂声大做，可居然没有用途，此虫仅仅是略一晃动，身体表面就有一层淡紫色的护罩浮现而出。

While not as powerful as the ancient demon, this purple wove corpse insect was at its full strength...

suǒ yǒu de tiān léi shā rú pí fú hàn shù ， jū rán méi yǒu bàn fēn de xiào guǒ 。

所有的天雷沙如蚍蜉撼树，居然没有半分的效果。

Under pressure, Lin Xuan was incredibly alarmed. At this moment, he could only hope to avoid any trouble and buy some time.

kě wù ！

可恶！

Thoughts raced through his mind, but Lin Xuan did not slow down in action. He flicked his shoulder and used the Heaven Defying Microstep, appearing far away on the next move.

lín xuān yòu shì yī dào shén niàn fā chū ， tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo yě jī è shè guò qù le ， wéi zhe duì fāng guàn shè ， tóng yàng méi yǒu yòng tú ， lín xuān liǎng ** bǎo hé lì ， jǐn jǐn shì jiǎn huǎn le yī xià duì fāng de fēi xíng sù dù ér yǐ 。

林轩又是一道神念发出，铁羽飞蝗刀也激垩射过去了，围着对方掼射，同样没有用途，林轩两**宝合力，仅仅是减缓了一下对方的飞行速度而已。

The purple wove corpse insect changed direction, still charging fiercely with the Iron Feather Flying Locust Sword and lightning sand trying to delay it.

duì wén wén lì ， huò xǔ bù jí gǔ lǎo mó ， bù guò zì jǐ yǔ lǎo mó fàng duì de shí hòu ， qí shí lì yǐ bèi yāo huà zhě xuē ruò le xǔ duō ， ér zhè zǐ luó wén shī chóng ， què shì quán shèng ………

对雯雯力，或许不及古老魔，不过自己与老魔放对的时候，其实力已被妖化者削弱了许多，而这紫罗纹尸虫，却是全盛………

Lin Xuan's expression was serious as he reached for a small bell from his waist. The bell was about a foot tall, made of purple with intricate patterns and faintly visible inscriptions emanating from it.

yā lì ， lín xuān yě xīn jīng wú bǐ ， cǐ shí cǐ jìng zhǔ zhǐ néng shì bù qiú yǒu gōng dàn qiú wú guò ， dàn jiāng shí jiān tuō yán yī zhèn zài shuō 。

压力，林轩也心惊无比，此时此竟丶只能是不求有功但求无过，但将时间拖延一阵再说。

He almost forgot this treasure.

nǎo hǎi zhōng zhū bān niàn tou shǎn guò ， lín xuān de dòng zuò què shì yì diǎn yě bù màn de ， zhǐ jiàn tā jiān tóu yī qiú ， zài cì shī zhǎn chū wú tiān wēi bù ， xià yī cì chū xiàn ， yǐ zài qiān wén zhī wài le 。

脑海中诸般念头闪过，林轩的动作却是一点也不慢的，只见他肩头一求，再次施展出无天微步，下一次出现，已在千文之外了。

Seeing the Hundred Birds Bell, Lin Xuan's confidence increased significantly.

zǐ luó wén shī chóng fāng xiàng yī gǎi ， yī jiù shì è hěn hěn de chōng le shàng lái ， sù dù jí kuài ， tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo yǔ tiān léi shā zé zài jǐn liàng tuō yán 。

紫罗纹尸虫方向一改，依旧是恶狠狠的冲了上来，速度极快，铁羽飞蝗刀与天雷沙则在尽量拖延。

This was a divine artifact that could suppress spirit beasts but had no effect on cultivators or demons.

lín xuān de liǎn sè yán sù wú bǐ ， shēn shǒu xiàng yāo jiān mō qù ， zhǐ jiàn líng guāng yì qǐ ， yī kǒu xiǎo zhōng chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ ， gāo bù guò chǐ xǔ ， biǎo miàn zuò zǐ sè ， gè hé huā wén shén mì gǔ piáo ， hái yǒu fú wén ruò yǐn ruò xiàn de pēn bó 。

林轩的脸色严肃无比，伸手像腰间摸去，只见灵光一起，一口小钟出现在了视线里，高不过尺许，表面做紫色，各和花纹神秘古朴，还有符文若隐若现的喷薄。

---

zì jǐ zhōu zhōu chà diǎn wàng le zhè bǎo wù 。

自己洲洲差点忘了这宝物。

Of course, water can extinguish fire, but only if the fire isn't too intense. A few buckets of water wouldn't work if the flames were too big!

kàn zhuó yǎn qián de bǎi líng zhōng lín xuān xìn xīn míng xiǎn zēng jiā le xǔ duō 。

看着眼前的百灵钟林轩信心明显增加了许多。

Similarly, while the Hundred Birds Bell could subdue strange insects, it might fail against highly advanced ones.

zhè kě shì tōng tiān líng bǎo ， duì xiū shì yāo zú méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， dàn què zhuān mén néng gòu kè zhì líng chóng bīng

这可是通天灵宝，对修士妖族没有效果，但却专门能够克制灵虫冫

At Spirit Dividing Realm, Lin Xuan wasn't sure, or rather, he had no confidence. But given that even partial suppression would be beneficial, he hoped for some effect.

dāng rán le ， shuǐ néng kè huǒ ， yě yào kàn huǒ shì jiū jìng rú hé ， rú guǒ huǒ shì tài dà ， yī liǎng pén shuǐ kěn dìng shì méi yǒu zuò yòng a ！

当然了，水能克火，也要看火势究竟如何，如果火势太大，一两盆水肯定是没有作用啊！

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan silently chanted the Treasure Art and raised his hand, curling his index finger and thumb to tap the bell lightly.

tóng yàng de dào lǐ ， bǎi líng zhōng suī rán néng gòu xiáng fú qí chóng ， dàn rú guǒ qí chóng de děng jí tài gāo ， cǐ bǎo yě yǒu kě néng shī xiào 。

同样的道理，百灵钟虽然能够降伏奇虫，但如果奇虫的等级太高，此宝也有可能失效。

"嗡."

fēn shén qī ， lín xuān yě bù xiǎo de ， huò zhě shuō méi yǒu shén me bǎ wò ， dàn xiǎng lái ， jí shǐ bù néng wán quán kè zhì ， duō shǎo ， yě hái shì huì yǒu nà me yì diǎn xiào guǒ 。

分神期，林轩也不晓得，或者说没有什么把握，但想来，即使不能完全克制，多少，也还是会有那么一点效果。

The ancient bell's sound echoed as a visible purple wave centered on the bell radiated out, targeting the insect.

xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān yī biān mò yùn tōng bǎo jué ， yī biān tái qǐ shǒu lái ， shí zhǐ yǔ mǔ zhǐ wēi qū ， chōng zhe cǐ bǎo qīng kòu le shàng qù 。

心中如此想着，林轩一边默运通宝诀，一边抬起手来，食指与拇指微曲，冲着此宝轻扣了上去。

"Zhi...,"

“ wēng 。”

“嗡。”

A loud noise filled the air as the insect suddenly stopped in mid-air.

gǔ piáo de zhōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí zhe lín xuān de dòng zuò ， ròu yǎn kě jiàn de dàn zǐ sè bō làng yǐ cǐ zhōng wèi zhōng xīn ， yī quān quān dàng yàng ér chū ， xiàng zhe qián fāng de qí chóng jī è shè guò qù le 。

古朴的钟声传入耳朵，随着林轩的动作，肉眼可见的淡紫色波浪以此钟为中心，一圈圈荡漾而出，像着前方的奇虫激垩射过去了。

Both the lightning sand and Iron Feather Flying Locust Sword were ignored by it. However, when faced with the purple sound waves, it showed clear signs of fear. The insect's wings flashed, and it vanished from its spot.

zhī ………，

吱………，

Teleportation!

chóng míng shēng dà zuò ， xī de shēn xíng zhòu rán zài bàn kōng zhōng tíng xià lái le 。

虫鸣声大做，牺的身形骤然在半空中停下来了。

Fortunately, this insect wasn't very proficient at teleportation, only moving a dozen feet away.

tiān léi shā yǔ tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo dōu bèi xī shì wèi wú wù ， rán ér duì yú nà zǐ sè de shēng bō ， què míng xiǎn hán zhe jǐ fēn wèi jù zhī sè ， zhǐ jiàn xī chì bǎng yī shǎn ， yě cóng yuán dì xiāo shī le 。

天雷沙与铁羽飞蝗刀都被牺视为无物，然而对于那紫色的声波，却明显含着几分畏惧之色，只见牺翅膀一闪，也从原地消失了。

Lin Xuan sighed in relief as he saw the purple wove corpse insect quickly fly back towards him after escaping the sound wave attack.

shùn yí ！

瞬移！

From this, one could see that it had considerable intelligence, though not on par with humans. At least it knew how to avoid harm and seek benefits.

hǎo zài cǐ chóng sì hū bìng bú shì hěn jīng tōng cǐ shù ， jǐn jǐn nuó yí le shí yú zhàng ér yǐ 。

好在此虫似乎并不是很精通此术，仅仅挪移了十余丈而已。

"Tenacious fellow."

lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， zhǐ jiàn zǐ luó wén shī chóng zài tuō lí shēng bō de gōng jī fàn wéi zhī hòu ， lì kè yòu zhèn chì cháo zhe zì jǐ jī è shè guò lái 。

林轩松了口气，只见紫罗纹尸虫在脱离声波的攻击范围之后，立刻又振翅朝着自己激垩射过来。

Lin Xuan muttered, raising his right hand again and tapping the bell once more. The insect stopped, teleported, changed direction, and flew back towards him.

cóng zhè yì diǎn ， yě kě yǐ kàn chū qí líng zhì bù dī ， suī rán hái wú fǎ yǔ rén lèi xiāng bǐ ， dàn zhì shǎo yǐ shì dǒng de qū lì bì hài dì 。

从这一点，也可以看出其灵智不低，虽然还无法与人类相比，但至少已是懂得趋利避害地。

After two attempts, Lin Xuan was overjoyed. If this continued, it would be very advantageous for him to buy time.

“ nán chán de jiā huo 。”

“难缠的家伙。”

With a flick of his nose, he used Heaven Defying Microstep, moving even farther away.

lín xuān dí jī le yī jù ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， zài cì chōng bǎi líng zhōng kòu qù ， jié guǒ chóng fù le gāng cái de dòng zuò ， zǐ luó wén shī chóng tíng xià ， shī zhǎn shùn yí ， gǎi biàn fāng xiàng hòu chóng xīn xiàng zì jǐ fēi le guò lái 。

林轩嘀咭了一句，右手抬起，再次冲百灵钟扣去，结果重复了刚才的动作，紫罗纹尸虫停下，施展瞬移，改变方向后重新像自己飞了过来。

This cycle repeated as the purple wove corpse insect noticed something amiss and its eyes turned blood red, showing signs of impatience.

shì le liǎng cì ， lín xuān yǐ shì xīn zhōng dà xǐ ， ruò shì zhè yàng de huà ， duì yú xiǎng yào tuō yán shí jiān de zì jǐ ， kě shì dà wèi yǒu lì 。

试了两次，林轩已是心中大喜，若是这样的话，对于想要拖延时间的自己，可是大为有利。

"Zhi zhi zhi,"

bí tóu yī huǎng ， wú tiān wēi bù shī chū ， lín xuān nuó yí dé gèng yuǎn le 。

鼻头一晃，无天微步施出，林轩挪移得更远了。

The insect's purple patterns lit up, forming a continuous line. The insect's cries became high and low, seemingly reciting some obscure incantation.

rú cǐ zhōu shǐ fǎn fù ， zǐ luó wén shī chóng yě kàn chū le bù tuǒ ， yǎn jīng biàn chéng le xuè hóng zhī sè ， xī yǒu xiē bù nài fán le 。

如此周始反复，紫罗纹尸虫也看出了不妥，眼睛变成了血红之色，牺有些不耐烦了。

Then a protective barrier appeared, different from the previous one, seeming to have实体包裹住它的身体。这一次，面对百灵钟的声音波浪，紫罗纹尸虫不再退避。

“ zhī zhī zhī , de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhǐ jiàn xī shēn shàng de zǐ sè huā wén yì qǐ liàng qǐ ， suí hòu lián chéng yī piàn ， chóng míng shēng hū gāo hū dī ， jìng fǎng fú zài niàn shén me huì sè de zhòu yǔ 。

“吱吱吱,的声音传入耳朵，只见牺身上的紫色花纹一起亮起，随后连成一片，虫鸣声忽高忽低，竟仿佛在念什么晦涩的咒语。

友友们还有月票吗？请支持百炼。
