lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐ yǒu le tuì yì tā zhī suǒ yǐ mào xiǎn qián rù dì dǐ ， jiù shì xiǎng yào kàn yī xià yǒu méi yǒu shén me hǎo chù 。 suí ┆ mèng ┆ xiǎo ┆ shuō ,.com
林轩心中已有了退意他之所以冒险潜入地底，就是想要看一下有没有什么好处。随┆夢┆小┆說,.com
Lin Xuan had already decided to retreat. He had冒险潜入地底 just to see if there was any benefit.
wàn wàn méi xiǎng dào cǐ dì fēng yìn de jū rán shì yī wèi gǔ mó shèng zǔ 。
万万没想到此地封印的居然是一位古魔圣祖。
To his great surprise, the sealed area turned out to be a primordial demon ancestor.
suī rán duì fāng ròu mǎo shēn zǎo yǐ huǐ qù ， rú jīn zhǐ shèng xià yī lǚ cán pò ér yǐ 。
虽然对方肉冇身早已毁去，如今只剩下一缕残魄而已。
Although the opponent's physical body was long gone, leaving only a fragment of its soul, this hasty possession still allowed him to recover his cultivation to late Profound Void stage. However, for Lin Xuan, it was still an unimaginable great enemy.
zhè cāng cù duó shě lái de qū tǐ xiàn yú gēn jī ， zàn shí yě zhǐ néng jiāng xiū wèi huī fù dào dòng xuán hòu qī ， dàn duì lín xuān lái shuō ， yī jiù shì nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de dà dí 。
这仓促夺舍来的躯体限于根基，暂时也只能将修为恢复到洞玄后期，但对林轩来说，依旧是难以想象的大敌。
He had no confidence in facing him.
duì shàng tā méi yǒu fēn háo bǎ wò 。
对上他没有分毫把握。
The most crucial point was that even if he won, Lin Xuan didn't know what the benefit would be.
dāng rán ， zuì guān jiàn de yì diǎn ， hái shì jí shǐ dǎ yíng le ， lín xuān yě bù xiǎo de hǎo chù shì shén me 。
当然，最关键的一点，还是即使打赢了，林轩也不晓得好处是什么。
After weighing the pros and cons, leaving immediately was the wisest choice.
quán héng lì bì ， jiù cǐ lí qù shì zuì wèi zhèng què de xuǎn zé 。
权衡利弊，就此离去是最为正确的选择。
With a flash of strange light in his eyes, Lin Xuan made up his mind.
yǎn zhōng yì máng shǎn dòng ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐ dìng jì hǎo le 。
眼中异芒闪动，林轩心中已定计好了。
However, at this moment, a rumbling sound entered his ears. The demon fog before him surged violently, all being swallowed by the guy who called himself the ancestor.
rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， hōng lōng lóng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǎn qián de mó wù yī zhèn fān yǒng ， quán bù bèi nà zì chēng shèng zǔ de jiā huo xī rù dào shēn tǐ zhī zhōng .
然而就在此刻，轰隆隆的声音传入耳朵，眼前的魔雾一阵翻涌，全部被那自称圣祖的家伙吸入到身体之中.
Then he revealed his true form.
suí hòu tā lù chū le lú shān zhēn miàn mù 。
随后他露出了庐山真面目。
No longer was he the twin-headed four-armed ancient demon; his originally robust figure had shrunk significantly, becoming indistinguishable from an ordinary person.
nǎ lǐ hái shì shuāng tóu sì bì de gǔ mó ， yuán běn kuí wú de shēn cái zhòu rán suō xiǎo le xǔ duō ， yǔ pǔ tōng rén bié wú èr zhì 。
哪里还是双头四臂的古魔，原本魁梧的身材骤然缩小了许多，与普通人别无二致。
He now only had one head, and it was handsome. What used to be a ugly monster had transformed into a handsome young man.
nǎo dài yě jǐn shèng xià yí gè ， ér qiě xīng měi lǎng mù ， jū rán yóu yī chǒu lòu de guài wù ， biàn chéng yīng jùn shào nián le 。
脑袋也仅剩下一个，而且星美朗目，居然由一丑陋的怪物，变成英俊少年了。
The only difference between him and a normal person was a crack on his forehead. It wasn't a scar; Lin Xuan could see clearly that it was the third eye, though it hadn't opened yet.
ruò shuō yǔ cháng rén wéi yī de bù tóng zhī chù ， jiù shì zài é tóu zhèng zhōng ， yǒu yī dào liè fèng ， nà jué bú shì shāng bā shén me ， lín xuān kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， shì dì sān zhǐ yǎn jīng ， zhǐ bù guò méi yǒu zhēng kāi ér yǐ 。
若说与常人唯一的不同之处，就是在额头正中，有一道裂缝，那绝不是伤疤什么，林轩看得清清楚楚，是第三只眼睛，只不过没有睁开而已。
In just a few seconds, this twin-headed ancient demon completely turned into another person. He stretched his body and smiled slightly: "Not bad, not bad. Although this physical body's foundation is somewhat lacking, its other conditions are quite good. Looks like I'm not destined to die so easily; it was easy for me to find a body that can withstand my demonic power."
jiù zhè me duǎn duǎn de jǐ xī ， nà shuāng tóu gǔ mó ， jiù wán quán biàn chéng lìng wài yí gè rén le tā zuò le yí gè shēn lǎn yāo de dòng zuò ， shū zhǎn zhī mǎo tǐ ， liǎn shàng yě lù chū jǐ fēn xiào yì ：“ bù cuò ， bù cuò ， cǐ ròu qū gēn jī suī rán chà le yī xiē ， dàn qí tā tiáo jiàn ， zé hái bú cuò ， kàn lái běn shèng zǔ yě shì mìng bù gāi jué ， zhè me róng yì ， jiù zhǎo dào yī jù néng gòu chéng shòu wǒ mó gōng de rǎn qū 。”
就这么短短的几息，那双头古魔，就完全变成另外一个人了他做了一个伸懒腰的动作，舒展肢冇体，脸上也露出几分笑意：“不错，不错，此肉躯根基虽然差了一些，但其他条件，则还不错，看来本圣祖也是命不该绝，这么容易，就找到一具能够承受我魔功的冉躯。”
Lin Xuan couldn't help showing a bitter smile.
lín xuān liǎn shàng zé lù chū yī sī kǔ xiào zhī sè 。
林轩脸上则露出一丝苦笑之色。
The opponent seemed to regard him as nothing. But he indeed had the qualifications.
duì fāng jiǎn zhí shì zì jǐ wèi wú wù ， dàn bù dé bù shuō ， tā què rán yǒu zhè yàng de zī gé 。
对方简直视自己为无物，但不得不说，他确然有这样的资格。
Knowing that his opponent was an ancient demon ancestor, Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't act rashly.
jì rán zhī dào zì jǐ miàn duì de shì gǔ mó shèng zǔ ， lín xuān dāng rán bú huì qīng jǔ wàng dòng 。
既然知道自己面对的是古魔圣祖，林轩当然不会轻举妄动。
Provoking him would be of no benefit to himself. He just hoped to find an opportunity to leave quickly.
jiāng duì fāng jī nù ， duì zì jǐ méi yǒu hǎo chù ， lín xuān zhǐ xī wàng zhǎo dào kòng xì ， néng gòu jǐn kuài lí kāi zhè lǐ 。
将对方激怒，对自己没有好处，林轩只希望找到空隙，能够尽快离开这里。
However, his plan didn't go according to his wishes.
rán ér tā de dǎ suàn gù rán bù cuò ， tiān què bù cóng rén yuàn de 。
然而他的打算固然不错，天却不从人愿的。
The mysterious young man turned his head: "Little guy, you, a human cultivator, sneaked into our sacred realm with what intentions?"
nà shén mì de shào nián zhuǎn guò tóu lú ：“ xiǎo jiā huo ， nǐ yī rén lèi xiū xiān zhě ， qián rù wǒ men shèng jiè ， yì yù rú hé ？”
那神秘的少年转过头颅：“小家伙，你一人类修仙者，潜入我们圣界，意欲如何？”
Lin Xuan's lips twitched involuntarily; indeed, he had been seen through. His disguise might fool ordinary ancient demons, but in the eyes of an ancestor-level old monster like this one, it was just a joke.
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo bù yóu de yī zhèn chōu chù ， guǒ rán bèi kàn chuān le 。
林轩的嘴角不由得一阵抽搐，果然被看穿了。
Even though his cultivation had greatly diminished, he could still see right through Lin Xuan's disguise.
zì jǐ de zhè diǎn wěi zhuāng huò xǔ néng gòu mán guò pǔ tōng gǔ mó ， rán ér zài shèng zǔ zhè zhǒng jí bié de lǎo guài wù yǎn lǐ ， bù guò shì yí gè xiào huà 。
自己的这点伪装或许能够瞒过普通古魔，然而在圣祖这种级别的老怪物眼里，不过是一个笑话。
"Never mind, no matter what your purpose is for coming to our sacred realm, since you've met me, it's your destiny to perish. I'll send you to the underworld."
jí shǐ shì yǎn qián zhè ge ， xiū wèi yǐ jīng dà sǔn de ， yě néng gòu yī yǎn jiāng zì jǐ de wěi zhuāng kàn pò 。
即使是眼前这个，修为已经大损的，也能够一眼将自己的伪装看破。
The young man's calm voice entered his ears, and his tone was even more arrogant and domineering, as if Lin Xuan was just an ant in his eyes.
“ suàn le ， bù guǎn nǐ lái shèng jiè de mù dì shì shén me ， jì rán yǔ lǎo fū xiāng yù ， yě jiù mìng gāi yǔn luò ， lǎo fū zhè jiù sòng nǐ qù yīn cáo dì fǔ 。”
“算了，不管你来圣界的目的是什么，既然与老夫相遇，也就命该陨落，老夫这就送你去阴曹地府。”
Before he could finish speaking, his right hand raised, fingers suddenly becoming sharp, and with a flick of his finger, a small egg-sized flame shot out from between his palms.
nà shào nián píng jìng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǔ qì gèng shì xiāo zhāng bá hù ， fǎng fú lín xuān zài tā de yǎn lǐ ， zhǐ bù guò shì yí gè lóu yǐ 。
那少年平静的声音传入耳朵，语气更是嚣张跋扈，仿佛林轩在他的眼里，只不过是一个蝼蚁。
The flame was deep purple, exuding a destructive aura.
huà yīn gāng luò ， tā yǐ yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， shí zhǐ sà rán biàn dé jiān lì ， qū zhǐ wēi dàn ， cóng tā de zhǐ zhǎng zhī jiān ， fēi chū yī jī dàn dà xiǎo de huǒ yàn 。
话音刚落，他已右手抬起，十指飒然变得尖利，屈指微弹，从他的指掌之间，飞出一鸡蛋大小的火焰。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted slightly, but he didn't show much fear on his face.
nà huǒ yàn zuò shēn zǐ sè ， yī gǔ huǐ miè de qì xī pèi rán ér chū 。
那火焰做深紫色，一股毁灭的气息沛然而出。
Fire?
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， bù guò liǎn shàng bìng méi yǒu lù chū duō shǎo wèi jù zhī sè 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，不过脸上并没有露出多少畏惧之色。
He might not have confidence in other techniques, but controlling flames was his forte.
yòng huǒ ？
用火？
Lin Xuan waved his sleeve, and another small egg-sized flame shot out.
bié de shén tōng tā huò xǔ méi yǒu bǎ wò ， rán ér qū shǐ huǒ yàn zhèng shì tā de cháng xiàng lái zhe 。
别的神通他或许没有把握，然而驱使火焰正是他的长项来着。
Four colors of琉璃 flowed across the surface of this flame, constantly changing.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yě shì yī jī dàn dà xiǎo de huǒ yàn fēi lüè ér chū 。
林轩袖袍一拂，也是一鸡蛋大小的火焰飞掠而出。
Boom!
sì sè liú lí ， bù tóng de shǔ xìng zài cǐ huǒ yàn de biǎo miàn liú zhuǎn bù yǐ 。
四色琉璃，不同的属性在此火焰的表面流转不已。
The next moment, the two flames clashed fiercely.
hōng ！
轰！
Only a dazzling light illuminated the area for several miles. The two flames fought in mid-air, devouring each other, but neither could gain an upper hand; they were evenly matched.
xià yī kè ， liǎng huǒ yàn hěn hěn de jī zhuàng zài yì qǐ 。
下一刻，两火焰狠狠的激撞在一起。
Lin Xuan's face was filled with seriousness. He knew his own techniques well; Illusory Heavenly Flame was his top secret technique, and it was currently fighting a flame from the opponent who was only at late Profound Void stage. Lin Xuan was amazed but also more cautious.
zhǐ jiàn líng guāng yào mù ， jiāng fāng yuán shù lǐ ， dōu yìng dé guī lì yǐ jí ， liǎng zhǒng huǒ yàn zài bàn kōng zhōng hù xiāng chán dòu tūn shì ， rán ér yī shí piàn kè ， què nán yǐ fēn chū shèng fù ， shì jūn lì dí 。
只见灵光耀目，将方圆数里，都映得瑰丽以极，两种火焰在半空中互相缠斗吞噬，然而一时片刻，却难以分出胜负，势均力敌。
However, on the surface, he didn't show any weakness, maintaining a blank expression.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng mǎn shì níng zhòng zhī sè ， zì jǐ de shén tōng zì jǐ qīng chǔ ， huàn líng tiān huǒ kě shì zì jǐ de ná shǒu jué jì ， kān chēng yā xiāng dǐ de mì shù zhī yī ， duì fāng rú jīn yě bù guò dòng xuán qī ， suí shǒu fú chū de yī dào huǒ yàn ， jiù néng yǔ huàn líng tiān huǒ dòu gè píng fēn qiū sè ， lín xuān jīng chà zhī yú ， xīn zhōng yuè fā de gǎn tàn jǐng tì 。
林轩的脸上满是凝重之色，自己的神通自己清楚，幻灵天火可是自己的拿手绝技，堪称压箱底的秘术之一，对方如今也不过洞玄期，随手拂出的一道火焰，就能与幻灵天火斗个平分秋色，林轩惊诧之余，心中越发的感叹警惕。
He waved his sleeve again, and the玄青 Mother-Son Shield appeared. Facing such an old monster, it was better to not seek success but avoid failure; he would first set up his defense.
bù guò biǎo miàn shàng ， lín xuān zì rán bú huì shì ruò ， yī jiù shì yī liǎn de mù rán zhī sè 。
不过表面上，林轩自然不会示弱，依旧是一脸的木然之色。
Following this, a loud clucking sound echoed as ninety-nine Nine Palace Momentary Swords emerged from his sleeves, swirling around him.
xiù páo yī fú ， xuán qīng zi mǔ dùn fú xiàn ér chū ， miàn duì zhè zhǒng děng jí de lǎo guài wù ， dāng rán yào bù qiú yǒu gōng dàn qiú wú guò ， xiān jiāng zì jǐ de fáng yù bù xià zài shuō 。
袖袍一拂，玄青子母盾浮现而出，面对这种等级的老怪物，当然要不求有功但求无过，先将自己的防御布下再说。
The momentum of these swords was formidable.
jǐn jiē zhe ， qīng jī shēng dà zuò ， què shì jiǔ jiǔ bā shí yī bǐng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn cóng yī xiù zhōng yú yóu ér chū ， zài tā shēn tǐ zhōu wéi pán xuán fēi wǔ 。
紧接着，清鸡声大做，却是九九八十一柄九宫须臾剑从衣袖中鱼游而出，在他身体周围盘旋飞舞。
The mysterious young man's face changed dramatically. After careful observation, he revealed an odd expression: "Huh? These are the Nine Palace Momentary Swords; do you come from the Moon Ink Clan and have a Five Elemental Root constitution, practicing the Moon Ink Heaven Witch Art?"
cóng shēng shì lái shuō ， nà jiào yí gè fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
从声势来说，那叫一个非同小可。
Even with his composure, Lin Xuan couldn't help flinching. The opponent had guessed so much about him based on just one of his treasures.
nà shén mì shào nián guǒ rán yě liǎn sè dà biàn le ， suí hòu zǐ xì yī qiáo ， gèng lù chū gǔ guài shén sè ：“ yí ， zhè shì jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ， nán dào nǐ jū rán lái zì mò yuè zú ， ér qiě shì wǔ líng gēn tǐ zhì ， xiū liàn de shì mò yuè tiān wū jué bù chéng me ？”
那神秘少年果然也脸色大变了，随后仔细一瞧，更露出古怪神色：“咦，这是九宫须臾剑，难道你居然来自墨月族，而且是五灵根体质，修炼的是墨月天巫诀不成么？”
Could this ancient demon ancestor be related to the Moon Ink Clan from long ago?
jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yě bù yóu de huò rán biàn sè ， duì fāng jū rán yóu zì jǐ jì chū qù de yī jiàn bǎo wù ， jiù jiāng zì jǐ nà me duō qíng kuàng gěi cāi zhōng le 。
即便以林轩的城府，也不由得豁然变色，对方居然由自己祭出去的一件宝物，就将自己那么多情况给猜中了。
Thoughts raced through his mind as he heard the other's laughter: "Hehe, it really is heaven not abandoning me; with a Five Elemental Root constitution, if I can get it, restoring my power will just be a matter of time. Unfortunately, you're a human cultivator, but that doesn't matter. After obtaining your body, I'll just make it demonic."
nán dào zhè wèi gǔ mó shèng zǔ ， yě yǔ xī rì de mò yuè zú ， yǒu shén me guān xì bù chéng me ？
难道这位古魔圣祖，也与昔日的墨月族，有什么关系不成么？
"Is that so?"
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， duì fāng kuáng xiào de shēng yīn què chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ hēi hēi ， zhēn shì tiān bù wáng wǒ ， wǔ líng gēn zhī tǐ ， ruò lǎo fū néng gòu dé dào ， huī fù fǎ lì ， jiù jiāng shì zhǐ rì kě dài le ， kě xī nǐ shì rén lèi xiū xiān zhě ， bù guò méi yǒu guān xì ， dé dào nǐ zhè jù qū tǐ zhī hòu ， zhǐ xiāo jiāng tā mó huà jiù xíng le 。”
脑海中念头转过，对方狂笑的声音却传入耳朵：“嘿嘿，真是天不亡我，五灵根之体，若老夫能够得到，恢复法力，就将是指日可待了，可惜你是人类修仙者，不过没有关系，得到你这具躯体之后，只消将它魔化就行了。”
Seeing the greedy expression on the mysterious young man's face, Lin Xuan laughed in anger: "Wanting to possess me, Master, what big talk! Be careful not to burst yourself."
“ shì me ？”
“是么？”
Before his words were finished, Lin Xuan waved his sleeve. A破空 sound echoed as the Nine Palace Momentary Swords flashed, splitting into three, over two hundred sword lights like a storm of arrows rushing towards the enemy.
jiàn nà shén mì shào nián ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì tān lán zhī sè ， lín xuān nù jí fǎn xiào le ：“ xiǎng yào duó shě lín mǒu ， gé xià hǎo dà de kǒu qì ， xiǎo xīn bú yào chēng bào le zì jǐ 。”
见那神秘少年，脸上满是贪婪之色，林轩怒极反笑了：“想要夺舍林某，阁下好大的口气，小心不要撑爆了自己。”
Strike first!
huà yīn wèi luò ， lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， zhǐ wén pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn líng guāng yī shǎn ， yī huà wèi sān ， liǎng bǎi yú dào jiàn guāng rú jí fēng zhòu yǔ ， xiàng zhe dí rén zǎn cì ér qù 。
话音未落，林轩袖袍一拂，只闻破空声大做，九宫须臾剑灵光一闪，一化为三，两百余道剑光如疾风骤雨，向着敌人攒刺而去。
The young man who called himself the ancestor didn't dodge or retreat; he merely extended his right hand. His fingernails had grown to half a foot long and were glowing faintly. With a slight wave, countless purple claws appeared in mid-air.
xiān xià shǒu wéi qiáng ！
先下手为强！
As their attacks seemed about to collide, Lin Xuan made an unexpected move. He formed hand seals with both hands and shook his shoulders; spatial fluctuations surged, and Lin Xuan vanished from the spot.
nà zì chēng shèng zǔ de shào nián què bù duǒ bù shǎn ， jǐn jǐn shì jiāng yòu shǒu shēn chū ， zhǐ jiǎ yǐ bào zhǎng dào bàn chǐ lái zhǎng ， biǎo miàn shǎn shuò zhe yōu guāng ， qīng qīng yī wǔ ， dùn shí lì máng dà zuò ， wú shù zǐ sè de zhǎo máng zài bàn kōng zhōng fú xiàn le 。
那自称圣祖的少年却不躲不闪，仅仅是将右手伸出，指甲已暴涨到半尺来长，表面闪烁着幽光，轻轻一舞，顿时厉芒大做，无数紫色的爪芒在半空中浮现了。
At the same time, those fierce swords flashed again, retreating as they were pulled back by Lin Xuan.
yǎn kàn liǎng rén de gōng jī jiù yào zhuàng zài yì qǐ ， lín xuān què zuò le yí gè chū rén yì liào de jǔ dòng ， zhǐ jiàn tā shuāng shǒu qiā jué ， tóng shí jiān tóu yī huǎng ， kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ ， lín xuān yǐ cóng yuán dì xiāo shī le zōng jì 。
眼看两人的攻击就要撞在一起，林轩却做了一个出人意料的举动，只见他双手掐诀，同时肩头一晃，空间波动骤起，林轩已从原地消失了踪迹。
Piercing sounds echoed as the purple claws all missed their targets.
tóng shí ， nà xiē qì shì xiōng xiōng de fēi jiàn tóng yàng yī shǎn ， bù jìn fǎn tuì de bèi lín xuān gěi shōu le huí lái 。
同时，那些气势汹汹的飞剑同样一闪，不进反退的被林轩给收了回来。
"Hey?"
chī chī de pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， nà xiē zǐ sè de zhǎo yǐng quán bù luò kōng le 。
嗤嗤的破空声大做，那些紫色的爪影全部落空了。
The mysterious young man was taken aback, feeling surprised.
“ yí ？”
“咦？”
Lin Xuan's lips curled in mockery. He wasn't stupid; why would he fight an ancient demon ancestor here?
nà shén mì shào nián yī dāi ， dà gǎn yì wài 。
那神秘少年一呆，大感意外。
Even if his opponent was also at late Profound Void stage, it was hard to say who would win.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān zé lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè ， zì jǐ yòu bù shǎ ， gàn má zài zhè lǐ yǔ gǔ mó shèng zǔ huǒ bìng a ！
林轩嘴角边则露出一丝讥嘲之色，自己又不傻，干嘛在这里与古魔圣祖火并啊！
In any case, Lin Xuan wouldn't do anything without benefit. Running away like a thief was the wisest choice.
jiù suàn duì fāng yě shì dòng xuán qī ， néng fǒu qǔ shèng yě shì hěn nán shuō dì 。
就算对方也是洞玄期，能否取胜也是很难说地。
With his current strength, Nine Heaven Microsteps became even more mysterious. A flash of light, and Lin Xuan was several thousand feet away. His essence weapon returned to him. Then, Lin Xuan's body was enveloped in green light as he flew back along the same path.
Lin Xuan had already decided to retreat. He had冒险潜入地底 just to see if there was any benefit.
To his great surprise, the sealed area turned out to be a primordial demon ancestor.
Although the opponent's physical body was long gone, leaving only a fragment of its soul, this hasty possession still allowed him to recover his cultivation to late Profound Void stage. However, for Lin Xuan, it was still an unimaginable great enemy.
He had no confidence in facing him.
The most crucial point was that even if he won, Lin Xuan didn't know what the benefit would be.

"Is that so?"
Seeing the greedy expression on the mysterious young man's face, Lin Xuan laughed in anger: "Wanting to possess me, Master, what big talk! Be careful not to burst yourself."
Before his words were finished, Lin Xuan waved his sleeve. A破空 sound echoed as the Nine Palace Momentary Swords flashed, splitting into three, over two hundred sword lights like a storm of arrows rushing towards the enemy.
Strike first!
The young man who called himself the ancestor didn't dodge or retreat; he merely extended his right hand. His fingernails had grown to half a foot long and were glowing faintly. With a slight wave, countless purple claws appeared in mid-air.
As their attacks seemed about to collide, Lin Xuan made an unexpected move. He formed hand seals with both hands and shook his shoulders; spatial fluctuations surged, and Lin Xuan vanished from the spot.
At the same time, those fierce swords flashed again, retreating as they were pulled back by Lin Xuan.
Piercing sounds echoed as the purple claws all missed their targets.
"Hey?"
The mysterious young man was taken aback, feeling surprised.
Lin Xuan's lips curled in mockery. He wasn't stupid; why would he fight an ancient demon ancestor here?
Even if his opponent was also at late Profound Void stage, it was hard to say who would win.
In any case, Lin Xuan wouldn't do anything without benefit. Running away like a thief was the wisest choice.
With his current strength, Nine Heaven Microsteps became even more mysterious. A flash of light, and Lin Xuan was several thousand feet away. His essence weapon returned to him. Then, Lin Xuan's body was enveloped in green light as he flew back along the same path.
