líng qì bèi duó ， liǎng xiōng dì de liǎn shàng mǎn shì hài rán zhī sè ， luó tǒng shēn xíng yī huǎng ， lái dào dì di de shēn páng ， luó shì shuāng shā bìng jiān ér lì ， liǎng rén de shǒu kòu zài le yì qǐ 。
灵器被夺，两兄弟的脸上满是骇然之色，罗桶身形一晃，来到弟弟的身旁，罗氏双煞并肩而立，两人的手扣在了一起。
The stolen spirit artifact left the two brothers' faces filled with shock. Luo Tun's figure flickered, and he arrived beside his younger brother. The Luo siblings stood side by side, their hands clasped together.
suí jí ， tā liǎ gè zì cóng shēn shàng qǔ chū le yí gè chǔ wù dài ， wǎng tiān kōng zhōng yī pāo 。
随即，他俩各自从身上取出了一个储物袋，往天空中一抛。
Then, each of them took out a storage bag from their bodies and threw it into the sky.
wēng míng zhī shēng dà qǐ ， cóng chǔ wù dài zhōng yǒng chū liǎo wú shù mǔ zhǐ dà xiǎo de lǜ sè qí chóng ， xíng chéng yī shù zhàng fāng yuán de lǜ sè chóng yún ， pán xuán yú liǎng rén de tóu dǐng zhī shàng 。
嗡鸣之声大起，从储物袋中涌出了无数拇指大小的绿色奇虫，形成一数丈方圆的绿色虫云，盘旋于两人的头顶之上。
A buzzing sound echoed as countless green insects, about the size of thumbs, emerged from the storage bags, forming a green insect cloud that hovered above their heads.
“ qū chóng shù ？”
“驱虫术？”
"Drive Insect Technique?"
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi wēi shōu suō ， zài xiū zhēn bǎi yì zhī zhōng ， zhè suàn shì jí nán liàn zhì de yī zhǒng ， shǒu xiān ， líng chóng nán dé ， sì yǎng fán zhí dōu xū yào jí zhǎng de shí jiān ， qí cì ， qū shǐ líng chóng xū yào jí qiáng de shén niàn ， xiū liàn de shí hòu tòng kǔ yǐ jí ， yí bù xiǎo xīn jiù yǒu zǒu huǒ rù mó de wēi xiǎn 。
林轩瞳孔微微收缩，在修真百艺之中，这算是极难炼制的一种，首先，灵虫难得，饲养繁殖都需要极长的时间，其次，驱使灵虫需要极强的神念，修炼的时候痛苦以极，一不小心就有走火入魔的危险。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. Among the hundred arts of cultivation, this was considered extremely difficult to refine. Firstly, spirit insects were rare, and breeding them required an incredibly long time. Secondly, controlling these spirit insects demanded a strong mental focus, making the process painful and fraught with the risk of going mad.
bù guò yǎn qián ， luó shì xiōng dì xiǎn rán shì néng jiāng liǎng rén de shén shí hé èr wéi yī ， gù ér cái néng qū shǐ zhè shù qiān zhǐ líng chóng shā dí 。=
不过眼前，罗氏兄弟显然是能将两人的神识合二为一，故而才能驱使这数千只灵虫杀敌。=
However, before their eyes, the Luo siblings clearly had managed to merge their minds, allowing them to command thousands of these spirit insects in battle.
suī rán zài tóng jiē xiū shì zhōng ， lín xuān nián líng bù dà ， dàn xǐ huān bó lǎn qún shū de tā ， jiàn shí què shì yī děng yī 。
虽然在同阶修士中，林轩年龄不大，但喜欢博览群书的他，见识却是一等一。
Although Lin Xuan was not old for his cultivation stage, he had extensive knowledge from reading many books. If he did not mistake, this was a type of toxic insect called "Green Glow Worms."
rú guǒ méi yǒu kàn cuò de huà ， zhè shì yī zhǒng jiào zuò “ lǜ máng qū ” de dú chóng 。
如果没有看错的话，这是一种叫做“绿芒蛆”的毒虫。
These insects originated from the southern borderlands and were said to be created by the miasma, possessing unparalleled toxicity. Ordinary people would die upon contact, and even cultivators could fall victim if they were surrounded by many of these toxic insects.
cǐ chóng chǎn yú nán jiāng ， chuán shuō shì yóu zhàng qì huàn huà ér chéng de ， jù dú wú bǐ ， fán rén zhān zhī jí wáng ， jí shǐ shì xiū zhēn zhě ， rú guǒ bèi dà liàng dú chóng wéi gōng ， yī yàng nán táo yǔn luò 。
此虫产于南疆，传说是由瘴气幻化而成的，剧毒无比，凡人沾之即亡，即使是修真者，如果被大量毒虫围攻，一样难逃陨落。
However, this was not their most formidable aspect. Their strength lay in corrupting spirit artifacts and being almost immune to the Five Elements Dao Techniques. There were few secret techniques that could counteract them. A greenish hue covered both Luo brothers' faces as the younger brother, Luo Biao, raised his hand. His arm swelled dramatically before exploding, sending a blood arrow flying into the insect cloud.
dāng rán ， zhè hái bú shì cǐ chóng lì hài de dì fāng ， de biāo hàn zhī chù zài yú ， kě yǐ wū zhuó líng qì ， ér qiě duì wǔ xíng dào shù ， jī hū miǎn yì ， jiù suàn shì guǐ yì de mó dào shén tōng ， néng gòu kè zhì cǐ chóng de mì shù yě liáo liáo wú jǐ 。 luó shì xiōng dì de liǎn shàng ， tóng shí zhào shàng le yī céng qīng qì ， rán hòu dì di luó biāo ， shén sè níng zhòng de tái qǐ shǒu lái ， shǒu bì sà rán zhàng dà ， rán hòu bào kāi ， yī mǒ xuè jiàn cóng lǐ miàn fēi shè chū lái 。***** mò rù dào le chóng yún lǐ miàn 。
当然，这还不是此虫厉害的地方，的彪悍之处在于，可以污浊灵器，而且对五行道术，几乎免疫，就算是诡异的魔道神通，能够克制此虫的秘术也寥寥无几。罗氏兄弟的脸上，同时罩上了一层青气，然后弟弟罗彪，神色凝重的抬起手来，手臂飒然胀大，然后爆开，一抹血箭从里面飞射出来。*****没入到了虫云里面。
"Go!"
wēng ！
嗡！
In contrast, Luo Biao's face turned pale, appearing to have lost much of his vital energy. He pointed at Lin Xuan and emitted a strange gurgling sound from his throat.
tūn shí le zhǔ rén de jīng xuè yǐ hòu 。 lǜ máng qū de biǎo miàn ， dōu fú xiàn chū le yī céng àn hóng de yán sè ， xiǎn de gèng jiā de guǐ yì wú bǐ 。
吞食了主人的精血以后。绿芒蛆的表面，都浮现出了一层暗红的颜色，显得更加的诡异无比。
The green insect cloud immediately turned towards Lin Xuan in a furious rush.
“ qù ！”
“去！”
This was the first time Lin Xuan had faced a cultivator using the Drive Insect Technique. His expression was extremely serious, but he showed no fear.
yǔ zhī xiāng fǎn ， luó biāo dì liǎn sè ， zé xiǎn de cāng bái yǐ jí ， yī fù yuán qì dà sǔn dì yàng zi ， rán hòu chōng zhe lín xuān yī zhǐ 。
与之相反，罗彪地脸色，则显得苍白以极，一副元气大损地样子，然后冲着林轩一指。
In his hand, the Hundred Souls Banner fluttered lightly, releasing countless ghostly mists that formed a cloud enveloping him.
hóu zhōng fā chū “ gū gū ” de gǔ guài zhī shēng 。
喉中发出“咕咕”的古怪之声。
Then, a harsh incantation sounded from within.
nà shù zhàng fāng yuán de chóng yún lì kè diào tóu xiàng zhe lín xuān kuáng juǎn ér qù 。
那数丈方圆的虫云立刻掉头向着林轩狂卷而去。
The cloud violently churned as black light flashed, revealing several monsters.
zhè yě shì lín xuān chū dào yǐ lái ， dì yī cì miàn duì shǐ yòng qū chóng shù de xiū shì 。** tā de biǎo qíng zhèng zhòng yǐ jí ， bù guò dào yě bìng méi yǒu shén me wèi jù 。
这也是林轩出道以来，第一次面对使用驱虫术的修士。**他的表情郑重以极，不过倒也并没有什么畏惧。
At first glance, they resembled humans, but their bodies were withered and shriveled, with sharp nails like razor blades.
shǒu zhōng de bǎi hún fān qīng qīng fēi wǔ ， wú shù de guǐ wù cóng lǐ miàn kuáng yǒng ér chū 。 bìng xíng chéng le yí gè yún tuán ， jiāng lín xuān bāo guǒ zài lǐ miàn 。
手中的百魂幡轻轻飞舞，无数的鬼雾从里面狂涌而出。并形成了一个云团，将林轩包裹在里面。
"Zombies?"
rán hòu ， jiān sè de zhòu yǔ zhī shēng cóng lǐ miàn chuán chū 。
然后，艰涩的咒语之声从里面传出。
A look of concern flashed across the Luo siblings' eyes. Lin Xuan immediately pointed his finger without hesitation, issuing a command through his mental focus. Dozens of zombies, mixed with black mist, roared as they charged towards the insect cloud.
yún tuán jù liè de fān yǒng qǐ lái 。 hēi máng yī shǎn ， shù shí gè guài wù chū xiàn 。
云团剧烈的翻涌起来。黑芒一闪，数十个怪物出现。
Green and black clashed!
cū yī kàn ， men pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiàng rén lèi ， rán ér què xíng mào kū jiāo ， shí zhǐ jiān jiān ， zhǐ jiǎ yǒu rú fēng lì dāo piàn 。
粗一看，们颇有几分像人类，然而却形貌枯焦，十指尖尖，指甲有如锋利刀片。
Almost in an instant, the green insects covered the bodies of the zombies. This was the Green Glow Worms' most effective attack method—corrupting spirit artifacts or carrying their toxins into cultivators. Even protective barriers were useless.
“ jiāng shī ？”
“僵尸？”
It was said that the miasma contained within these insects could easily penetrate a cultivator's protective aura.
luó shì shuāng shā de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yōu lǜ 。
罗氏双煞的眼中闪过一丝忧虑。
However, facing zombies, Lin Xuan wore a mocking expression on his face.
lín xuān zé háo bù yóu yù dì yì diǎn zhǐ ， mìng lìng suí zhe shén niàn fā chū ， shí jǐ jù jiāng shī jiā zá zhe hēi qì páo xiāo zhe xiàng chóng yún yíng shàng qù le 。\\\\\
林轩则毫不犹豫地一点指，命令随着神念发出，十几具僵尸夹杂着黑气咆哮着像虫云迎上去了。\\\\\
No matter how toxic they might be, they would only affect living beings. Zombies were ghostly entities from the underworld; they wouldn't fear such toxins.
lǜ sè yǔ hēi sè zhuàng zài le yì qǐ ！
绿色与黑色撞在了一起！
If these insects had sharp claws and fangs, perhaps their small,灵动期(zhūn dòng qī) zombies would have been afraid. But with toxicity?
jī hū yī zhǎ yǎn ， jiāng shī de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn jiù pá mǎn le zhè zhǒng lǜ sè de dú chóng 。 zhè yě shì lǜ máng qū zuì wèi shàn cháng dì gōng jī fāng shì ， rú guǒ shì líng qì ， zé huì bèi wū zhuó ， rú guǒ shì xiū shì ， zé huì shēn zhōng xié dài de dú sù 。
几乎一眨眼，僵尸的身体表面就爬满了这种绿色的毒虫。这也是绿芒蛆最为擅长地攻击方式，如果是灵器，则会被污浊，如果是修士，则会身中携带的毒素。
It was just a waste of effort!
jiù suàn shì hù zhào yě méi yǒu yòng 。
就算是护罩也没有用。
With a sharp cry, the zombies immediately began to attack. Their claws stretched out, doubling in size, and grabbed nearly a hundred Green Glow Worms before crushing them.
jù shuō zhè zhǒng qí chóng suǒ hán de zhàng dú ， shèn zhì néng gòu qīng yì chuān tòu xiū xiān zhě de hù tǐ líng guāng 。
据说这种奇虫所含的瘴毒，甚至能够轻易穿透修仙者的护体灵光。
The released miasma was ignored by the zombies as Luo Biao's face turned even paler.
rán ér cǐ kè ， men miàn duì de què shì jiāng shī ， lín xuān de liǎn shàng ， liú lù chū yī sī jī cháo de biǎo qíng 。
然而此刻，们面对的却是僵尸，林轩的脸上，流露出一丝讥嘲的表情。
Luo Biao, enraged and fearful, cast a spell. The Green Glow Worms detached from the zombies and reformed into an insect cloud, but its size had significantly reduced.
dú xìng zài měng 。 dàn yě yào duì yǒu shēng mìng de dōng xī cái yǒu yòng ， ér jiāng shī ， kě shì yōu míng guǐ wù ， qǐ huì hài pà jù dú 。*****
毒性再猛。但也要对有生命的东西才有用，而僵尸，可是幽冥鬼物，岂会害怕剧毒。*****
Then, it buzzed back into the spirit beast bag.
rú guǒ cǐ chóng yōng yǒu de shì jiān yá lì zhuǎ ， zì jǐ zhè xiē jǐn yǒu líng dòng qī xiū wèi dì xiǎo jiāng shī kǒng pà hái yào wèi jù yī èr ， bù guò jù dú ？
如果此虫拥有的是尖牙利爪，自己这些仅有灵动期修为地小僵尸恐怕还要畏惧一二，不过剧毒？
The brothers' eyes flashed with malice as they transformed into streaks of light and fled rapidly.
bù guò shì bái a fèi lì qì ér yǐ ！
不过是白啊费力气而已！
There was no hope of victory; staying here would only lead to their deaths.
kǒu zhōng fā chū yī shēng jiān xiào ， jiē dào mìng lìng de jiāng shī lì kè kāi shǐ le gōng jī ， lì zhuǎ yī shēn ， lì kè kuáng zhǎng biàn dà le shù bèi 。 yī bǎ jiù jiāng jìn bǎi zhǐ lǜ máng qū wò zài shǒu lǐ 。 rán hòu niē bào 。
口中发出一声尖啸，接到命令的僵尸立刻开始了攻击，利爪一伸，立刻狂涨变大了数倍。一把就将近百只绿芒蛆握在手里。然后捏爆。
"Trying to escape? Too late!"
bào kāi de zhàng qì jiāng shī men shì ruò wú dǔ ， luó shì xiōng dì yǐ shì liǎn wú rén sè 。
爆开的瘴气僵尸们视若无睹，罗氏兄弟已是脸无人色。
Lin Xuan's face revealed a sneer. He wasn't a killer, but he understood the principle that one should not pursue an enemy cornered by desperation. These two had seen him use both Yin and Yang spirit powers, so they must die.
luó biāo jīng nù jiāo jí de dǎ chū yī dào fǎ jué 。 lǜ máng qū cóng jiāng shī shēn shàng tuō luò ， chóng xīn huà wèi le yī piàn chóng yún ， bù guò miàn jī yǐ bǐ gāng cái xiǎo le xǔ duō 。
罗彪惊怒交集的打出一道法诀。绿芒蛆从僵尸身上脱落，重新化为了一片虫云，不过面积已比刚才小了许多。
The reason was simple; someone who could simultaneously wield spirit energies of both Yin and Yang was too bizarre. This violated common sense in cultivation, and if the secret behind The Yin-Yang Decree were to be exposed, it would bring untold trouble.
rán hòu wēng míng fēi huí dào le líng shòu dài zhōng 。
然后嗡鸣飞回到了灵兽袋中。
How could he let them live?
liǎng xiōng dì de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yuàn dú ， lián mèi huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， jí sù táo zǒu 。
两兄弟的眼中闪过一丝怨毒，联袂化为一道惊虹，急速逃走。
Wrapped in a black cloud, Lin Xuan's speed was as swift as lightning as he chased after them.
qǔ shèng yǐ jīng méi yǒu xī wàng ， liú zài zhè lǐ zhǐ huì jiāng xiǎo mìng yě zàng sòng ér yǐ 。
取胜已经没有希望，留在这里只会将小命也葬送而已。
Although Luo Biao had fled first by a moment, within just a short while, the distance between Lin Xuan and his brothers shrank to a hundred paces. This made their faces look particularly ugly. The reason was that they practiced the same cultivation technique; working together, they could drive a spirit artifact at speeds far beyond those of ordinary cultivators, nearly a third faster. But...
“ xiǎng táo ， wǎn le ！”
“想逃，晚了！”
Lin Xuan's face remained cold as he raised his hand and shot out a silver beam.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī lěng xiào zhī sè ， tā bìng bú shì shì shā zhī rén ， yě míng bái qióng kòu mò zhuī de dào lǐ ， kě zhè liǎng gè jiā huo jiàn guò zì jǐ shǐ yòng xuán mén dào fǎ yǔ guǐ dào shén tōng nà jiù bì xū yào sǐ 。
林轩脸上露出一丝冷笑之色，他并不是嗜杀之人，也明白穷寇莫追的道理，可这两个家伙见过自己使用玄门道法与鬼道神通那就必须要死。
Seeing this, Luo Biao swallowed hard and reached into his waist pouch, summoning a talisman that ignited and transformed into a golden wall several dozen feet wide and long in front of him.
yuán yīn wú tā ， yí gè rén tóng shí zhǎng wò yīn yáng liǎng zhǒng líng lì shí zài shì tài guò guǐ yì ， zhè wéi fǎn le xiū zhēn cháng shí ， rú guǒ 《 yīn yáng jué 》 de mì mì yí dàn bào guāng ， wèi zì jǐ dài lái de má fán wú fǎ kě xiǎng 。
原因无他，一个人同时掌握阴阳两种灵力实在是太过诡异，这违反了修真常识，如果《阴阳诀》的秘密一旦曝光，为自己带来的麻烦无法可想。
This was the Earth element technique known as the Golden Wall Spell.
qǐ néng ràng liǎng rén huó zhe chū qù ？
岂能让两人活着出去？
It was a high-level human-grade defensive spell; even if it couldn't withstand an attack from a top-grade spirit artifact, it could buy some time for Luo Biao to escape.
The stolen spirit artifact left the two brothers' faces filled with shock. Luo Tun's figure flickered, and he arrived beside his younger brother. The Luo siblings stood side by side, their hands clasped together.
Then, each of them took out a storage bag from their bodies and threw it into the sky.
A buzzing sound echoed as countless green insects, about the size of thumbs, emerged from the storage bags, forming a green insect cloud that hovered above their heads.

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. Among the hundred arts of cultivation, this was considered extremely difficult to refine.
