“ wǒ men hái méi yǒu wèn nǐ ， nǐ fǎn dào zhì wèn qǐ wǒ men lái le ， gé xià yī rén zú ， qián rù wǒ men shèng jiè ， yì yù rú hé ？”
“我们还没有问你，你反倒质问起我们来了，阁下一人族，潜入我们圣界，意欲如何？”
"Have we not asked you any questions yet, and you dare to question us? Sir, a member of the Human race, how do you intend to proceed by sneaking into our Holy Realm?"

那头长独角的古魔开口了，语气虽然毫不示弱，然而林轩眼光何等毒，自然不难看出对方怀有几分色厉内茬之色。～随夢小說，.com
The ancient demon with the long horn spoke up. Although his tone was unyielding, Lin Xuan's sharp eyes could easily detect the underlying fear beneath his bravado.
yǒu xiào guǒ ！
有效果！
It worked!
tā men guǒ rán bù néng wán quán què ān zì jǐ de xū shí rú hé 。
他们果然不能完全确安自己的虚实如何。
They couldn't be completely sure of their situation after all.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī xǐ sè ， bù guò hěn kuài jiù suí zhī yǐn qù le ， dāng wù zhī jí ， shì yào xiǎng bàn fǎ chàng hǎo zhè chū kōng chéng jì ， fǒu zé yǐ rú jīn de zhuàng tài duì shàng zhè yǎn qián de jǐ míng gǔ mó ， zì jǐ shì bì bài wú yí de 。
林轩眼中闪过一丝喜色，不过很快就随之隐去了，当务之急，是要想办法唱好这出空城计，否则以如今的状态对上这眼前的几名古魔，自己是必败无疑的。
A hint of joy flashed across Lin Xuan's eyes but quickly faded away. The immediate priority was to stage a convincing empty city strategy. Otherwise, he would surely lose against these ancient demons in front of him.
suī rán yān shān lǎo zǔ yǔn luò ， jìn fǎ fú yǐ shī qù le xiào guǒ ， rán ér bǎo guì de suí jī chuán sòng fú ， zěn me néng gòu làng fèi zài jǐ míng dòng xuán jí bié de jiā huo shēn shàng ne ， bú dào wàn bù dé yǐ ， lín xuān jué bú huì nà me zuò ， néng yòng kōng chéng jì jiāng tā men xià pǎo shì zuì hǎo de 。
虽然燕山老祖陨落，禁法符已失去了效果，然而宝贵的随机传送符，怎么能够浪费在几名洞玄级别的家伙身上呢，不到万不得已，林轩绝不会那么做，能用空城计将他们吓跑是最好的。
Although the patriarch of Yanshan had fallen and theprohibition talismanhad lost its effect, how could he waste precious random teleportation talismans on a few Core Formation level opponents? Lin Xuan wouldn't do that unless absolutely necessary. The best outcome was to scare them away with an empty city strategy.
“ rén zú yòu rú hé ， lín mǒu lái mó jiè ， hái xū yào nǐ men jǐ gè tóng yì me ？”
“人族又如何，林某来魔界，还需要你们几个同意么？”
"Humanity be damned, does Lin need your permission to come to the Demon Realm?"
lín xuān liǎn shàng xiàn chū bù nài fán zhī sè ， yuè shì xū ruò ， yuè yào biǎo xiàn chū jǐ fēn qiáng yìng zī tài lái de ， zhǐ yǒu zhè yàng ， tā men cái bú huì jiāng zì jǐ de zhuàng tài kàn pò 。
林轩脸上现出不耐烦之色，越是虚弱，越要表现出几分强硬姿态来的，只有这样，他们才不会将自己的状态看破。
Lin Xuan's face showed signs of impatience. The weaker he became, the more he needed to appear tough. Only in this way would they not see through his condition.
lín xuān shèn zhì dǎ kāi tiān chuāng shuō liàng huà le ：“ mò fēi nǐ men yǐ wéi lín mǒu fǎ lì suǒ shèng bù duō ， jiù kě yǐ rèn píng nǐ men zǎi gē ， nà bù fáng lái shì shì hǎo le ， bù cuò ， duì shàng yān shān lǎo zǔ ， lín mǒu fǎ lì suī rán xiāo hào le xǔ duō ， dàn pīn zhe hào sǔn yī xiē yuán qì ， yī yàng néng jiāng nǐ men zhǎn luò ， zhǐ bù guò lín mǒu bù yuàn yì zhè me zuò ， bì jìng méi yǒu hǎo chù ， lín mǒu yòu hé bì yǔ nǐ men liǎng bài jù shāng ne ？”
林轩甚至打开天窗说亮话了：“莫非你们以为林某法力所剩不多，就可以任凭你们宰割，那不妨来试试好了，不错，对上燕山老祖，林某法力虽然消耗了许多，但拼着耗损一些元气，一样能将你们斩落，只不过林某不愿意这么做，毕竟没有好处，林某又何必与你们两败俱伤呢？”
Lin Xuan even went so far as to speak frankly: "Do you think I have little power left and can be easily controlled? Let’s test that theory."
lín xuān shuō huǎng hěn yǒu yì shù ， zhēn zhēn jiǎ jiǎ ràng rén nán yǐ fēn biàn qīng chǔ ， biǎo miàn shàng shì jiāng huà shuō zài míng chù ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā yòu nǎ yǒu shén me néng lì miè shā duì fāng ne ？
林轩说谎很有艺术，真真假假让人难以分辨清楚，表面上是将话说在明处，然而此时此刻，他又哪有什么能力灭杀对方呢？
Although he was lying skillfully, making it hard for them to discern the truth, Lin Xuan knew that his few remaining talismans could only buy him some time.
fǎ lì yǐ bīn lín yóu jǐn dēng kū ， shén shí yě sǔn hào le huà qī bā bā le ， jiù suàn pīn zhe hào sǔn yuán qì ， yī yàng dǎ bù yíng jǐ míng dòng xuán qī lǎo guài wù 。
法力已濒临油尽灯枯，神识也损耗了化七八八了，就算拼着耗损元气，一样打不赢几名洞玄期老怪物。
"Boom!" The air filled with black fireballs as the talismans ignited on their own. A demon wind formed into ghostly faces.
lín xuān shì hěn qiáng ， dàn yě yǒu gè xiàn dù ， xiàn zài zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng hái néng yǐ guǎ dí zhòng nà jiù tài nì tiān le 。
林轩是很强，但也有个限度，现在这种情况还能以寡敌众那就太逆天了。
A barrage of attacks poured down from all directions.
zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng lín xuān xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， suǒ yǐ cái xiǎng dào chàng yī chū kōng chéng jì lái de 。
这种情况林轩心里有数，所以才想到唱一出空城计来的。
"Uh-oh!"
jǐ míng gǔ mó guǒ rán bèi zhèn zhù ， rú guǒ tā men zhēn shì pèng qiǎo lù guò cǐ dì ， jiàn lín xuān xū ruò ， cóng ér xīn cún dǎi yì ， bú yòng shuō ， nà kěn dìng huì fàng qì chū zhōng 。
几名古魔果然被镇住，如果他们真是碰巧路过此地，见林轩虚弱，从而心存歹意，不用说，那肯定会放弃初衷。
The demons were alarmed and quickly summoned their defensive treasures. The thunderous sounds echoed in Lin Xuan's ears. The talismans he had obtained from the Fu family were no ordinary ones; they could not defeat them, but they were enough to give them a good scare.
wèn tí shì ， tā men bú shì 。
问题是，他们不是。
As the demons frantically defended themselves, Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of light and fled like an arrow towards the horizon.
tā men shì fèng mìng lái diào chá mó shé xiān zi sǐ yīn de 。
他们是奉命来调查魔蛇仙子死因的。
However, his face was as pale as paper, and his expression was hideous. His true condition had now been exposed.
cǐ shí dí rén jiù zài yǎn qián ， zěn me kě yǐ tuì suō ， jiǎ rú zhēn nà me zuò ， yí dàn bèi shèng zǔ dà rén xiǎo de ， tā men huì shēng bù rú sǐ de 。
此时敌人就在眼前，怎么可以退缩，假如真那么做，一旦被圣祖大人晓得，他们会生不如死的。
The few talismans he used could only buy him some time. What should he do next?
jǐ mó nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， nà xiē xǔ tuì yì yě yān xiāo yún sàn le ， yǎn qián de xiǎo zi zài kě pà ， yě bù guò shì yī míng tóng jiē cún zài bà le ， ér qiě fǎ lì suǒ shèng bù duō ， duì shàng tā de wēi xiǎn yào yuǎn xiǎo yú chù nù bǎo shé shèng zǔ 。
几魔脑海中念头转过，那些许退意也烟消云散了，眼前的小子再可怕，也不过是一名同阶存在罢了，而且法力所剩不多，对上他的危险要远小于触怒宝蛇圣祖。
Lin Xuan reached out and grabbed a wine jar. Although not fond of alcohol, the situation demanded that he drink it down quickly.
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
He couldn't purify the immortal milk, but these spirits would help recover his energy. Two top-grade crystal stones flew out as well, which he absorbed while flying to conserve their pure spiritual power.
lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò ， yǐ cāi dào jǐ mó shì zěn me xiǎng de 。
林轩目光扫过，已猜到几魔是怎么想的。
Even so, he was still losing ground. How long could he hold on?
zěn me huì ne ， tā men míng míng xīn cún gù jì ， wèi hé huì tū rán gǎi biàn zhǔ yì ？
怎么会呢，他们明明心存顾忌，为何会突然改变主意？
The talismans from the Fu family only bought him a few moments of respite. The ancient demons looked slightly disheveled but no one had been injured in this process.
lín xuān bù zhī dào shì nǎ yí gè huán jié chū cuò ， bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， nǎ yǒu shí jiān gěi tā xì xì sī suǒ 。
林轩不知道是哪一个环节出错，不过此时此刻，哪有时间给他细细思索。
"Brother!"
xiān xià shǒu wéi qiáng ， hòu xià shǒu zāo yāng ， jì rán kōng chéng jì yǐ jīng shī qù xiào guǒ ， nà jiù zhǐ yǒu qiáng xíng tū wéi le 。
先下手为强，后下手遭殃，既然空城计已经失去效果，那就只有强行突围了。
"We should catch that guy alive and present him to the Holy Serpent. The benefits are immense, we don't need to say more," said the lead demon viciously.
lín xuān shì shā fá guǒ jué de rén wù ， lì kè xiù páo yī fú ， jì chū jǐ zhāng fú lù ， tā fǎ lì suī rán yǐ dào bīn lín kū jié de dì bù ， dàn cāo kòng fú lù ， hái shì miǎn qiǎng kě yǐ zuò dào de 。
林轩是杀伐果决的人物，立刻袖袍一拂，祭出几张符箓，他法力虽然已到濒临枯竭的地步，但操控符箓，还是勉强可以做到的。
The other demons nodded eagerly.
rú jīn jìn fǎ fú yǐ jīng shī qù xiào guǒ ， cóng fù jiā táo dào de bǎo bèi jiù kě yǐ fā wēi le 。
如今禁法符已经失去效果，从付家淘到的宝贝就可以发威了。
The young demon sister was a favored successor of the Holy Serpent, which is why they were sent on this mission. If they could catch the murderer, the Holy Serpent might be pleased and reward them handsomely. With good fortune, they might even advance to the Spirit Formation stage.
“ hū ” de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà jǐ zhāng fú lù wú fēng zì rán ， dùn shí ， shù yǐ bǎi jì de hēi sè huǒ qiú chū xiàn ， mó fēng dà zuò ， huà wèi yī zhāng zhāng de guǐ liǎn 。
“呼”的声音传入耳躲，那几张符箓无风自燃，顿时，数以百计的黑色火球出现，魔风大做，化为一张张的鬼脸。
"Indeed, in the Holy Realm, he has nowhere to hide," said another ancient demon excitedly.
pū tiān gài dì de gōng jī ， cháo zhe jǐ mó qīng xiè xià lái 。
铺天盖地的攻击，朝着几魔倾泻下来。
They continued their pursuit with renewed vigor.
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
Lin Xuan's spirit energy was depleted, but the time gained from his talismans allowed him to escape a bit. As he ran, he kept an eye on the demons behind him and noticed them approaching.
jǐ gè jiā huo dà jīng shī sè ， máng gè zì jiāng fáng yù de fǎ bǎo jì chū ， hōng lōng lóng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān cóng fù jiā jiāo huàn dé lái de fú lù fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， xiǎng yào kè dí zhì shèng shì bù kě néng de ， dàn yě zú gòu tā men hē shàng yī hú 。
几个家伙大惊失色，忙各自将防御的法宝祭出，轰隆隆的声音传入耳朵，林轩从付家交换得来的符箓非同小可，想要克敌制胜是不可能的，但也足够他们喝上一壶。
"Brother, what should we do?" said one of the ancient demons with a grim expression, showing signs of impatience.
dāng jǐ mó shǒu máng jiǎo luàn fáng yù de yī kè ， lín xuān èr huà bù shuō ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， fēng chí diàn chè ， xiàng tiān biān fēi qù le 。
当几魔手忙脚乱防御的一刻，林轩二话不说，化为一道惊虹，风驰电掣，像天边飞去了。
This guy's power was clearly running low, yet he was still so troublesome.
rán ér tā liǎn bái rú zhǐ ， biǎo qíng gèng shì nán kàn dào jí chù ， rú cǐ yī lái ， zì jǐ zhēn shí de zhuàng tài rú hé ， kě jiù wán quán bào lù 。
然而他脸白如纸，表情更是难看到极处，如此一来，自己真实的状态如何，可就完全暴露。
"Hmph, fear not. Talismans will eventually run out. With us chasing him, he can't meditate to recover his energy in this Holy Realm," said the lead demon, who seemed the most cunning.
gāng cái nà jǐ zhāng fú lù ， zhǐ néng qǐ dào tuō yán de xiào guǒ ， zì jǐ gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
刚才那几张符箓，只能起到拖延的效果，自己该怎么办呢？
"True, in the Holy Realm, there is nowhere for him to hide. He'll be ours sooner or later," another ancient demon added with excitement.
lín xuān shēn shǒu yī pāi ， yí gè jiǔ tán fēi lüè chū lái ， lín xuān bìng bú shì hǎo jiǔ zhī rén ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， què bù dé bù pāi kāi jiǔ tán ， yǎng tóu kuáng guàn le qǐ lái 。
林轩伸手一拍，一个酒坛飞掠出来，林轩并不是好酒之人，此时此刻，却不得不拍开酒坛，仰头狂灌了起来。
They continued their relentless pursuit.
méi yǒu shí jiān tí chún wàn nián líng rǔ ， bù guò zhè xiē líng jiǔ duì yú huī fù fǎ lì ， yě yǒu yī xiē xiào guǒ ， zǒng zhī shì liáo shèng yú wú ， tóng shí liǎng kuài jí pǐn jīng shí fēi lüè ér chū ， lín xuān shuāng shǒu wò zhù ， yī biān fēi ， yī biān xī nà qǐ lǐ miàn de jīng chún líng lì lái le 。
没有时间提纯万年灵乳，不过这些灵酒对于恢复法力，也有一些效果，总之是聊胜于无，同时两块极品晶石飞掠而出，林轩双手握住，一边飞，一边吸纳起里面的精纯灵力来了。
As they approached, Lin Xuan used talismans to buy time. The demons stopped and re-summoned their defensive treasures.
jí biàn rú cǐ ， yī jiù shì rù bù fū chū ， zì jǐ néng gòu jiān chí duō jiǔ ne ？
即便如此，依旧是入不敷出，自己能够坚持多久呢？
Lin Xuan gained a few more moments before the demons resumed their chase.
jǐ zhāng cóng fù jiā táo lái de fú lù ， bù guò zhī chēng le shí jǐ xī de gōng fu ， suí hòu jiù huà wèi le xū wú ， nà jǐ míng gǔ mó shāo xiǎn láng bèi zhī sè ， dàn nà shì yóu yú tài cāng chǔ ， zhè ge guò chéng ， bìng méi yǒu yī rén shòu shāng de 。
几张从付家淘来的符箓，不过支撑了十几息的功夫，随后就化为了虚无，那几名古魔稍显狼狈之色，但那是由于太仓储，这个过程，并没有一人受伤的。
This cycle repeated itself.
“ dà gē ！”
“大哥！”
The ancient demons were furious but learned from their previous losses. If he could use his talismans, why couldn't they do the same?
“ hái děng shén me ， nà ge jiā huo bù guò shì zài xū zhāng shēng shì bà le ， jiāng tā shēng qín huó zhuō ， xiān gěi bǎo shé shèng zǔ ， hǎo chù zhī dà ， wǒ xiǎng bù xū yào lèi shù 。” nà wéi shǒu gǔ mó xiōng hěn de shuō 。
“还等什么，那个家伙不过是在虚张声势罢了，将他生擒活捉，鲜给宝蛇圣祖，好处之大，我想不需要累述。”那为首古魔凶狠的说。
This time, as soon as they approached, they each summoned their treasures without waiting for Lin Xuan to use his talismans.
qí tā jǐ mó tīng le ， liǎn shàng yě wú bù lù chū xīng fèn zhī sè 。
其他几魔听了，脸上也无不露出兴奋之色。
Lin Xuan watched carefully and remained calm.
mó shé xiǎo mǎo jiě shì pǒ dé shèng zǔ kàn zhòng de hòu rén zhī yī ， fǒu zé yě bú huì pài qiǎn tā men zhí xíng zhè yàng de rèn wù ， rú guǒ zhēn néng jiāng xiōng shǒu zhuō zhù ， shèng zǔ yī gāo xìng ， suí biàn shǎng cì diǎn shén me yě gòu tā men zhōng shēng shòu yòng bù jìn le ， ruò shì yùn qì bù cuò ， yīn cǐ jìn jiē fēn shén qī yě shì dà yǒu kě néng de 。
魔蛇小冇姐是颇得圣祖看中的后人之一，否则也不会派遣他们执行这样的任务，如果真能将凶手捉住，圣祖一高兴，随便赏赐点什么也够他们终生受用不尽了，若是运气不错，因此进阶分神期也是大有可能的。
They used defensive talismans first, forming a brilliant light barrier to block the attacks. Then Lin Xuan countered with offensive talismans, bringing them back to square one.
sú huà shuō ， rén wéi cái sǐ ， niǎo wèi shí wáng ， jǐ mó xiǎng dào cǐ chù ， yí gè gè yǎn dōu hóng le ， zǒu guò lù guò bù róng cuò guò ， dāng jí rén rén fèn yǒng ， gè zhǎn shén tōng ， yǐ zuì kuài de sù dù ， xiàng lín xuān zhuī qù le 。
俗话说，人为财死，鸟为食亡，几魔想到此处，一个个眼都红了，走过路过不容错过，当即人人奋勇，各展神通，以最快的速度，像林轩追去了。
The ancient demons cursed loudly but had no choice but to stop and defend themselves again. Lin Xuan took this opportunity to flee further.
lín xuān shén shí suī rán xiāo hào le hěn duō ， dàn fú lù zhēng qǔ dào de zhè diǎn shí jiān ， táo dé běn lái jiù bù yuǎn ， hé kuàng tā zài yī biān táo mìng de tóng shí ， yī biān yě guān zhù zhe shēn hòu de yì dòng ， zì rán dì yī shí jiān jiù fā xiàn le ， àn àn jiào kǔ ， méi xiǎng dào yǒu yī tiān ， zì jǐ huì miàn lín bèi jǐ míng tóng jiē xiū shì zhuī dé luò huāng ér táo de dì bù 。
林轩神识虽然消耗了很多，但符箓争取到的这点时间，逃得本来就不远，何况他在一边逃命的同时，一边也关注着身后的异动，自然第一时间就发现了，暗暗叫苦，没想到有一天，自己会面临被几名同阶修士追得落荒而逃的地步。
"Brother, what should we do?" said another grim-faced demon impatiently.
tàn le kǒu qì ， lín xuān zhǐ néng pīn mìng de qū shǐ cán yú de fǎ lì ， jǐn liàng fēi kuài yī xiē 。
叹了口气，林轩只能拼命的驱使残余的法力，尽量飞快一些。
This guy's power was clearly depleted yet he was still so troublesome.
rán ér yī jiù bù jí jǐ mó ， suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， jù lí yuè lā yuè jìn le 。
然而依旧不及几魔，随着时间的推移，距离越拉越近了。
"Hmph, fear not. Talismans will eventually run out. With us chasing him, he can't meditate to recover his energy in this Holy Realm," the lead demon said dismissively.
kě wù ！
可恶！
"Indeed, in the Holy Realm, there is nowhere for him to hide. He'll be ours sooner or later," another ancient demon agreed with excitement.
lín xuān zhǐ hǎo xiù páo yī fú ， zài cì jì chū jǐ zhāng cóng fù jiā dé lái de fú lù ， zhè yī cì ， shì mì mì má má de hēi sè bīng zhuī chū xiàn le ， xiàng zhe dí rén cuán shè 。
林轩只好袖袍一拂，再次祭出几张从付家得来的符箓，这一次，是密密麻麻的黑色冰锥出现了，向着敌人攒射。
They continued their relentless pursuit.
jǐ mó dà nù ， dàn cǐ fú de wēi néng fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yě zhǐ hǎo jiāng dùn guāng tíng zhù ， chóng xīn jì qǐ fáng yù de bǎo wù 。
几魔大怒，但此符的威能非同小可，也只好将遁光停住，重新祭起防御的宝物。
As they approached, Lin Xuan used talismans to gain time. On the surface, it seemed safe, but he knew that these demons would think of this too.
yú shì lín xuān yòu zhēng qǔ dào shí jǐ xī de gōng fu ， shuāng fāng de jù lí zài cì lā yuǎn le 。
于是林轩又争取到十几息的功夫，双方的距离再次拉远了。
This was merely a last-ditch effort. Talismans had limited uses, and without power recovery, he couldn't escape danger. The closer the demons got, the harder it became to meditate while his recovered energy from spirits and crystals quickly dissipated in flight.
děng fáng yù wán zhè cì gōng jī ， jǐ mó chóng xīn dòng shēn zhuī le guò qù ， bù yī huì er lā jìn jù lí ， lín xuān zài cì jì chū fú lù ……
等防御完这次攻击，几魔重新动身追了过去，不一会儿拉进距离，林轩再次祭出符箓……
In the Demon Realm, no one could help him. Encountering other ancient demons would only make things worse.
jiù zhè yàng ， zhōu ér fù shǐ 。
就这样，周而复始。
Lin Xuan knew his situation well and found no way out except for the random teleportation talisman.
jǐ mó dà nù ， bù guò chī le jǐ cì kuī yǐ hòu tā men yě zhǎo dào yìng duì zhī fǎ le ， nǐ néng gòu yòng fú lù tuō yán shí jiān ， nán dào wǒ men jiù bù kě yǐ qiǎng xiān yī bù ， xiān dòng shǒu ？
几魔大怒，不过吃了几次亏以后他们也找到应对之法了，你能够用符箓拖延时间，难道我们就不可以抢先一步，先动手？
Although he didn't want to use it, he realized it was his only chance.
gù ér zhè yī cì jiē jìn yǐ hòu ， bù děng lín xuān qù tāo fú lù ， tā men jiù gè zì jiāng fǎ bǎo jì chū ， lín xuān kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， liǎn shàng què bìng méi yǒu huāng luàn zhī sè ， zhè yī cì ， tā men qǔ chū liǎng zhǒng fú lù 。
故而这一次接近以后，不等林轩去掏符箓，他们就各自将法宝祭出，林轩看得清清楚楚，脸上却并没有慌乱之色，这一次，他们取出两种符箓。
He assessed the situation: "Frustrating, a tiger in plain sight is bullied by dogs. A dragon in shallow waters is mocked by shrimp."
xiān jiāng fáng yù gōng yòng de jì chū ， huà wèi yī piàn cuǐ càn guāng mù ， jiāng jǐ mó de gōng jī dǎng zhù ， suí hòu lín xuān zài rú fǎ páo zhì de jì chū gōng jī fú ， yú shì ， shì qíng yòu huí dào yuán diǎn le 。
先将防御功用的祭出，化为一片璀璨光幕，将几魔的攻击挡住，随后林轩再如法炮制的祭出攻击符，于是，事情又回到原点了。
Lin Xuan sighed but knew he had no choice. Since he would inevitably use the random teleportation talisman, he might as well do it now to buy more time.
jǐ mó qì dé tiào jiǎo dà mà ， què yě méi yǒu bàn fǎ ， zhǐ néng tíng xià lái ， xiān jiāng yǎn qián de gōng jī chēng guò ， lín xuān chèn jī yòu pǎo yuǎn le 。
几魔气得跳脚大骂，却也没有办法，只能停下来，先将眼前的攻击撑过，林轩趁机又跑远了。
He flicked his sleeves and summoned several offensive talismans.
“ dà gē ， zěn me bàn ？” yī liǎn sè yīn lì de gǔ mó kāi kǒu le ， shēng yīn zhōng tòu zhe bù nài fán zhī sè 。
“大哥，怎么办？”一脸色阴厉的古魔开口了，声音中透着不耐烦之色。
The random teleportation talisman was like carrying a one-time-use teleportation array. He needed some time before he could activate it, so he used these offensive talismans first to gain as much time as possible.
zhè xiǎo zi fǎ lì míng xiǎn yǐ suǒ shèng bù duō ， jū rán hái nán chán dào rú cǐ dì bù 。
这小子法力明显已所剩不多，居然还难缠到如此地步。
"Boom!"
“ hēng ， pà shén me ， fú lù zǒng yǒu hào jìn de yī kè ， yǒu wǒ men zài hòu miàn zhuī suǒ ， tā gēn běn jiù méi bàn fǎ dǎ zuò huī fù fǎ lì ， ér zhè lǐ shì shèng jiè ， tā yī rén lèi xiū xiān zhě ， néng gòu táo dào nǎ lǐ qù ne ？” nà wéi shǒu de gǔ mó xiǎn rán yě shì zuì jiǎo huá de yí gè ， bù yǐ wéi rán de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“哼，怕什么，符箓总有耗尽的一刻，有我们在后面追索，他根本就没办法打坐恢复法力，而这里是圣界，他一人类修仙者，能够逃到哪里去呢？”那为首的古魔显然也是最狡猾的一个，不以为然的声音传入耳朵。
The demons didn't know his plan but stopped their attacks and re-summoned their defenses.
“ bù cuò ， zài shèng jiè ， tā wú chǔ kě duǒ ， chí zǎo huì shì wǒ men de náng zhōng wù 。” lìng yī gǔ mó yě kāi kǒu le ， shēng yīn zhōng dài zhe jǐ fēn xīng fèn zhī sè 。
“不错，在圣界，他无处可躲，迟早会是我们的囊中物。”另一古魔也开口了，声音中带着几分兴奋之色。
It worked!
yú shì ， tā men jì xù zài hòu miàn jǐn zhuī bù shě 。
于是，他们继续在后面紧追不舍。
Lin Xuan's face showed relief as he took out the random teleportation talisman. Even if they noticed something amiss, it was too late for them to stop him now.
yí dàn jù lí jiē jìn le ， lín xuān jiù shǐ yòng fú lù ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， zàn shí hái bú huì yù jiàn wēi xiǎn shén me ， rán ér jǐ míng gǔ mó dōu néng xiǎng dào de wèn tí ， lín xuān yòu zěn me huì bù xiǎo de 。
一旦距离接近了，林轩就使用符箓，表面上看，暂时还不会遇见危险什么，然而几名古魔都能想到的问题，林轩又怎么会不晓得。
However, at this moment, a streak of light appeared in the distance. Lin Xuan's eyes widened in shock.
yǎn qián zhè me zuò ， bù guò shì xún yán cán chuǎn bà le ， fú lù zài duō ， yě yǒu yòng wán de yī kè ， zì jǐ bù néng huí fù fǎ lì ， jiù wú fǎ bǎi tuō wēi jī ， kě dí rén zhuī dé jí ， rú hé dǎ zuò ， líng jiǔ yǔ jīng shí bǔ chōng de fǎ lì ， hěn kuài yòu hào sǔn zài fēi xíng lǐ 。
眼前这么做，不过是荀延残喘罢了，符箓再多，也有用完的一刻，自己不能回复法力，就无法摆脱危机，可敌人追得急，如何打坐，灵酒与晶石补充的法力，很快又耗损在飞行里。
"Who is that person?" he exclaimed, his face frozen with astonishment.
"Have we not asked you any questions yet, and you dare to question us? Sir, a member of the Human race, how do you intend to proceed by sneaking into our Holy Realm?"
The ancient demon with the long horn spoke up. Although his tone was unyielding, Lin Xuan's sharp eyes could easily detect the underlying fear beneath his bravado.
It worked!
They couldn't be completely sure of their situation after all.
A hint of joy flashed across Lin Xuan's eyes but quickly faded away. The immediate priority was to stage a convincing empty city strategy. Otherwise, he would surely lose against these ancient demons in front of him.
Although the patriarch of Yanshan had fallen and theprohibition talismanhad lost its effect, how could he waste precious random teleportation talismans on a few Core Formation level opponents? Lin Xuan wouldn't do that unless absolutely necessary. The best outcome was to scare them away with an empty city strategy.
"Humanity be damned, does Lin need your permission to come to the Demon Realm?"
Lin Xuan's face showed signs of impatience. The weaker he became, the more he needed to appear tough. Only in this way would they not see through his condition.
Lin Xuan even went so far as to speak frankly: "Do you think I have little power left and can be easily controlled? Let’s test that theory."
Although he was lying skillfully, making it hard for them to discern the truth, Lin Xuan knew that his few remaining talismans could only buy him some time.
"Boom!" The air filled with black fireballs as the talismans ignited on their own. A demon wind formed into ghostly faces.
A barrage of attacks poured down from all directions.
"Uh-oh!"
The demons were alarmed and quickly summoned their defensive treasures. The thunderous sounds echoed in Lin Xuan's ears. The talismans he had obtained from the Fu family were no ordinary ones; they could not defeat them, but they were enough to give them a good scare.
As the demons frantically defended themselves, Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of light and fled like an arrow towards the horizon.
However, his face was as pale as paper, and his expression was hideous. His true condition had now been exposed.
The few talismans he used could only buy him some time. What should he do next?
Lin Xuan reached out and grabbed a wine jar. Although not fond of alcohol, the situation demanded that he drink it down quickly.
He couldn't purify the immortal milk, but these spirits would help recover his energy. Two top-grade crystal stones flew out as well, which he absorbed while flying to conserve their pure spiritual power.
Even so, he was still losing ground. How long could he hold on?
The talismans from the Fu family only bought him a few moments of respite. The ancient demons looked slightly disheveled but no one had been injured in this process.
"Brother!"
"We should catch that guy alive and present him to the Holy Serpent. The benefits are immense, we don't need to say more," said the lead demon viciously.
The other demons nodded eagerly.
The young demon sister was a favored successor of the Holy Serpent, which is why they were sent on this mission. If they could catch the murderer, the Holy Serpent might be pleased and reward them handsomely. With good fortune, they might even advance to the Spirit Formation stage.
"Indeed, in the Holy Realm, he has nowhere to hide," said another ancient demon excitedly.
They continued their pursuit with renewed vigor.
Lin Xuan's spirit energy was depleted, but the time gained from his talismans allowed him to escape a bit. As he ran, he kept an eye on the demons behind him and noticed them approaching.
"Brother, what should we do?" said one of the ancient demons with a grim expression, showing signs of impatience.
This guy's power was clearly running low, yet he was still so troublesome.
"Hmph, fear not. Talismans will eventually run out. With us chasing him, he can't meditate to recover his energy in this Holy Realm," said the lead demon, who seemed the most cunning.
"True, in the Holy Realm, there is nowhere for him to hide. He'll be ours sooner or later," another ancient demon added with excitement.
They continued their relentless pursuit.
As they approached, Lin Xuan used talismans to buy time. The demons stopped and re-summoned their defensive treasures.
Lin Xuan gained a few more moments before the demons resumed their chase.
This cycle repeated itself.
The ancient demons were furious but learned from their previous losses. If he could use his talismans, why couldn't they do the same?
This time, as soon as they approached, they each summoned their treasures without waiting for Lin Xuan to use his talismans.
Lin Xuan watched carefully and remained calm.
They used defensive talismans first, forming a brilliant light barrier to block the attacks. Then Lin Xuan countered with offensive talismans, bringing them back to square one.
The ancient demons cursed loudly but had no choice but to stop and defend themselves again. Lin Xuan took this opportunity to flee further.
"Brother, what should we do?" said another grim-faced demon impatiently.
This guy's power was clearly depleted yet he was still so troublesome.
"Hmph, fear not. Talismans will eventually run out. With us chasing him, he can't meditate to recover his energy in this Holy Realm," the lead demon said dismissively.
"Indeed, in the Holy Realm, there is nowhere for him to hide. He'll be ours sooner or later," another ancient demon agreed with excitement.
They continued their relentless pursuit.
As they approached, Lin Xuan used talismans to gain time. On the surface, it seemed safe, but he knew that these demons would think of this too.
This was merely a last-ditch effort. Talismans had limited uses, and without power recovery, he couldn't escape danger. The closer the demons got, the harder it became to meditate while his recovered energy from spirits and crystals quickly dissipated in flight.
In the Demon Realm, no one could help him. Encountering other ancient demons would only make things worse.
Lin Xuan knew his situation well and found no way out except for the random teleportation talisman.
Although he didn't want to use it, he realized it was his only chance.
He assessed the situation: "Frustrating, a tiger in plain sight is bullied by dogs. A dragon in shallow waters is mocked by shrimp."
Lin Xuan sighed but knew he had no choice. Since he would inevitably use the random teleportation talisman, he might as well do it now to buy more time.
He flicked his sleeves and summoned several offensive talismans.
The random teleportation talisman was like carrying a one-time-use teleportation array. He needed some time before he could activate it, so he used these offensive talismans first to gain as much time as possible.
"Boom!"
The demons didn't know his plan but stopped their attacks and re-summoned their defenses.
It worked!
Lin Xuan's face showed relief as he took out the random teleportation talisman. Even if they noticed something amiss, it was too late for them to stop him now.
However, at this moment, a streak of light appeared in the distance. Lin Xuan's eyes widened in shock.
"Who is that person?" he exclaimed, his face frozen with astonishment.
