“是么，那我们可不能大意，二哥修炼的乃是悬瞑魔功，对这种说不明白的预感一般**不离十，既有这种感触，那这附近搞不好还真有危险潜伏。随?夢?小?說?,.com”
"Is that so? Then we can't be careless. My second brother is practicing the Shadow Concealment Demon Skill, and such vague premonitions are usually not far off. Given this feeling, there might indeed be some danger lurking nearby."
nà hēi yī nǚ zǐ liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī níng zhòng zhī sè ， cǐ nǚ zhǎng dé suī bù rú hé ， dàn shēng yīn què shì pǒ wèi dòng tīng de 。
那黑衣女子脸上露出一丝凝重之色，此女长得虽不如何，但声音却是颇为动听的。
The black-robed woman's face showed a trace of seriousness. Though her appearance wasn’t remarkable, her voice was quite pleasant to listen to.
lǎo zhě tóng yàng méi yǒu yì yì ， kāi shǐ yóu mù sì gù ， rán ér fēn háo fā xiàn yě wú 。
老者同样没有异议，开始游目四顾，然而分毫发现也无。
The elder did not object either. He began to look around, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
sān mó bù yóu de yǒu xiē jīng yí bù dìng le 。
三魔不由得有些惊疑不定了。
This left the three demons somewhat puzzled and uncertain.
“ èr dì ， nǐ què dìng gǎn jué zhè lǐ yǒu wēi xiǎn me ， huì bú huì shì tài guò jǐn zhāng de yuán gù ？” lǎo zhě rěn bú zhù kāi kǒu le 。
“二弟，你确定感觉这里有危险么，会不会是太过紧张的缘故？”老者忍不住开口了。
"Second Brother, are you sure there’s danger here? Could it be due to too much tension?" The elder couldn't help speaking up.
“ wǒ què rán gǎn dào yǒu xiē bù tuǒ ， rán ér zhè zhǒng gǎn yìng ， yě bú shì bǎi fēn zhī bǎi zhèng què de ， yě xǔ shì wǒ qǐ rén yōu rén …… suàn le ， dà jiā xiān qù cǎi zhāi nà xiē líng wù ， zhǐ shì cǎi de shí hòu xiǎo xīn yì diǎn jiù xíng le 。”
“我确然感到有些不妥，然而这种感应，也不是百分之百正确的，也许是我杞人忧人……算了，大家先去采摘那些灵物，只是采的时候小心一点就行了。”
"I do feel something amiss, but this sense isn’t always correct. Perhaps I’m just overthinking... Let's just go gather those spirit objects first; we can take extra care when picking them."
“ děng děng ！” lǎo zhě què zǔ zhǐ le tā men liǎng gè ， wàng zhe èr mó mí huò bù jiě zhī sè ， tā kāi kǒu le ：“ fǎn zhèng duō yú de shí jiān dōu yǐ jīng dān gē ， jiù bù zài hū duō dān gē shàng nà me yì diǎn le ， xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò ， wǒ men lái dào líng yuán gǔ ， suī shì wèi le xún qiú bǎo wù ， dàn yě bù yuàn yì jiāng zì jǐ de xiǎo mìng zàng sòng zài zhè lǐ le 。”
“等等！”老者却阻止了他们两个，望着二魔迷惑不解之色，他开口了：“反正多余的时间都已经耽搁，就不在乎多耽搁上那么一点了，小心无大错，我们来到灵源谷，虽是为了寻求宝物，但也不愿意将自己的小命葬送在这里了。”
"Wait!" The elder stopped the two of them and looked at the second demon who seemed confused. "Since we've already wasted some time, it won't hurt to be more cautious. Better safe than sorry. We came here for treasures, but we don’t want to lose our lives over this."
“ zěn me ， dà gē hái yǒu shén me bàn fǎ bù chéng me ？”
“怎么，大哥还有什么办法不成么？”
"How about you? Do you have any other methods?"
“ bù cuò ， lǎo fū xīn jìn dé dào yī jiàn bǎo wù ， yú zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， dào hái zhēn kě yǐ shì shàng yī shì de 。”
“不错，老夫新近得到一件宝物，于这种情况，倒还真可以试上一试的。”
"Yes, I recently obtained a treasure that might help in such situations."
lǎo zhě yī biān shuō ， yī biān xiù páo yī fú ， cóng tā de yī xiù zhōng ， què shì fēi yī qī hēi de hú lú ， suí hòu hú lú kǒu bá kāi ， yī gǔ jiǔ xiāng piāo sàn chū lái 。
老者一边说，一边袖袍一拂，从他的衣袖中，却是飞一漆黑的葫芦，随后葫芦口拔开，一股酒香飘散出来。
The elder waved his sleeve and a black gourd appeared from within it. As he pulled the lid off, a whiff of alcohol wafted out.
yú xià de liǎng mó miàn miàn xiāng qù ， bù zhī dào lǎo zhě zhè me zuò ， yǒu shén me yòng yì ， bù guò dōu méi yǒu chū shēng dǎ rǎo shén me ， kàn dé chū ， dì zhè lǎo zhě ， hái shì pǒ wèi xìn fú 。
余下的两魔面面相觑，不知道老者这么做，有什么用意，不过都没有出声打扰什么，看得出，第这老者，还是颇为信服。
The remaining two demons exchanged glances, unsure what the elder intended with this, but they didn't say anything to disturb him; it was clear that they trusted him.
“ cǐ líng jiǔ nǎi shì ǒu rán suǒ de ， fú yòng le néng gòu zàn shí jiāng shén shí kuò dà xǔ duō 。”
“此灵酒乃是偶然所得，服用了能够暂时将神识扩大许多。”
"This spirit wine is something I stumbled upon by chance. Consuming it can temporarily expand your divine consciousness."
lǎo zhě yī biān shuō ， yī biān jiù yào yáng qǐ tóu hē ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， qīng guāng yì qǐ ， rào zhe tā de yòu shǒu yī juàn ， jū rán qiáng xíng jiāng nà líng jiǔ gěi duó le guò lái 。
老者一边说，一边就要扬起头喝，然而就在这时，青光一起，绕着他的右手一卷，居然强行将那灵酒给夺了过来。
As he spoke, he was about to take a drink when a flash of green light surrounded his right hand and forcibly took the spirit wine away.
“ ó ， méi xiǎng dào hái yǒu zhè yàng bǎo wù ， bù guò gěi dào yǒu zhè yàng de jiāng sǐ zhī rén hē ， wèi miǎn tài làng fèi le ， liáng qín zé mù ér qī ， bǎo wù yě shì yī yàng de dào lǐ ， zhè líng jiǔ jiù jiāo yóu lín mǒu tì nǐ dài guǎn rú hé ？”
“哦，没想到还有这样宝物，不过给道友这样的将死之人喝，未免太浪费了，良禽择木而栖，宝物也是一样的道理，这灵酒就交由林某替你代管如何？”
"Oh, I didn’t expect such a treasure. But giving this almost dying person such a precious item seems wasteful. A wise bird chooses its tree, and so does a treasure. How about I manage it for you?"
huà yīn wèi luò ， shí yú zhàng wài qīng guāng yī shǎn ， yī chuān zhe pǔ tōng de shào nián chū xiàn 。
话音未落，十余丈外青光一闪，一穿着普通的少年出现。
Before he finished speaking, a figure appeared from beyond ten feet away, a common-looking young man.
róng mào méi yǒu fēn háo chū qí ， rán ér sān mó shén shí sǎo guò ， què yì qǐ tóng kǒng wēi suō ：“ nǐ shì dòng xuán hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě 。”
容貌没有分毫出奇，然而三魔神识扫过，却一起瞳孔微缩：“你是洞玄后期的修仙者。”
His appearance was unremarkable, but the three demons’ divine senses detected something: "You are an advanced-stage cultivator."
“ bù cuò 。”
“不错。”
"Indeed."
lín xuān zhè shí hòu ， lián rén zú de shēn fèn dōu lǎn de yǎn shì le ， wèi le què bǎo cǐ chù líng mài de yǐn mì ， fán shì fā xiàn tā de gǔ mó ， quán dōu dé sǐ 。
林轩这时候，连人族的身份都懒得掩饰了，为了确保此处灵脉的隐秘，凡是发现它的古魔，全都得死。
Lin Xuan no longer bothered to hide his human identity. To ensure the secrecy of this spirit vein, any ancient demon who discovered it would have to die.
“ gé xià lái dào wǒ men shèng jiè ， xiǎng yào tú móu shén me ？” nà wéi shǒu de gǔ mó shén sè níng zhòng de kāi kǒu 。
“阁下来到我们圣界，想要图谋什么？”那为首的古魔神色凝重的开口。
"Why did you come to our Holy Realm? What do you intend?" The leading ancient demon's expression was serious.
“ dào yǒu hé bì wèn zhè me duō ， ruò xiǎng yào xiǎo de ， dào yīn cáo dì fǔ zài dǎ tīng hǎo le 。”
“道友何必问这么多，若想要晓得，到阴曹地府再打听好了。”
"Why should a friend ask so many questions? If you want to know, go inquire in the netherworld."
lín xuān lěng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， gēn běn wú yì duō fèi chún shé ， xiù páo yī fú ， shù shí dào jiàn guāng yú yóu ér chū ， yíng fēng jiù zhǎng ， zhuǎn shùn jiān yǐ yǒu shù chǐ lái zhǎng ， rú jí fēng zhòu yǔ ， xiàng zhe duì fāng kuáng xiè ér qù ……
林轩冷笑的声音传入耳朵，根本无意多费唇舌，袖袍一拂，数十道剑光鱼游而出，迎风就涨，转瞬间已有数尺来长，如疾风骤雨，像着对方狂泻而去……
Lin Xuan’s cold laughter echoed. He had no intention of wasting words. With a wave of his sleeve, dozens of sword lights emerged like fish swimming through water, rapidly growing to several feet long and raining down on them like a storm.
sān mó dà jīng shī sè ， xiǎng bú dào lín xuān shuō dòng shǒu jiù dòng shǒu ， jìng shì fēn háo méi yǒu jiāng tā men fàng zài yǎn zhōng 。
三魔大惊失色，想不到林轩说动手就动手，竟似分毫没有将他们放在眼中。
The three demons were shocked. They hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to attack so quickly, as if he didn't care about them at all.
hǎo zài tā men yì zhí zài níng shén jiè bèi ， suǒ yǐ dào yě bú huì yīn wèi biàn qǐ cāng chǔ ， ér yìng biàn bù jí 。
好在他们一直在凝神戒备，所以倒也不会因为变起仓储，而应变不及。
Fortunately, they had been on high alert, so they weren’t caught off guard by the sudden change in circumstances.
zhǐ jiàn nà mó nǚ yòu shǒu yī wǔ ， yī fāng cǎi pà jiù cóng zhǐ zhǎng jiān fēi lüè ér chū 。
只见那魔女右手一舞，一方彩帕就从指掌间飞掠而出。
The female demon waved her right hand, and a colorful silk scarf flew out from between her fingers. The surface of this scarf was adorned with some demonic symbols, though their details were unclear due to haste. As the treasure was revealed, faint sounds of wind and thunder could be heard, indicating its extraordinary nature. It transformed into a black sphere that enveloped the woman, with flames and lightning arcs on its surface, creating quite a dazzling spectacle.
cǐ pà biǎo miàn ， hái xiù zhe yī xiē mó wén ， zhǐ bù guò shì jí qiè jiān shì shén me ， yě kàn bù qīng chǔ ， bù guò suí zhe cǐ bǎo de jì chū ， jū rán yǐn yǐn yǒu fēng léi shēng xiǎng guò ， dào yě kě yǐ kàn chū tā de bù fán zhī chù ， huà wèi yī hēi sè de guāng qiú ， jiāng cǐ nǚ hún shēn bāo guǒ ， guāng qiú biǎo miàn ， hái yǒu huǒ yàn yǔ diàn hú ， shēng shì nà jiào yí gè duó mù 。
此帕表面，还绣着一些魔纹，只不过是急切间是什么，也看不清楚，不过随着此宝的祭出，居然隐隐有风雷声响过，倒也可以看出它的不凡之处，化为一黑色的光球，将此女浑身包裹，光球表面，还有火焰与电弧，声势那叫一个夺目。
The other two demons also unleashed their full power.
lìng liǎng mó yě shì shǒu duàn qí chū 。
另两魔也是手段齐出。
A one-eyed giant had several shields flying around him, seemingly part of a set of treasures. The elder, meanwhile, produced a string of dark beads, which transformed into eighteen large skulls that emitted eerie cackles and shot out demonic flames to meet the sword lights head-on.
nà dú yǎn dà hàn shēn qián yǒu shù gè dùn pái shàng xià fēi wǔ ， sì hū shì shén me chéng tào de bǎo wù ， zhì yú nà lǎo zhě ， zé jì chū yī chuàn qī hēi de niàn zhū ， suí hòu huà wèi shí bā gè jù dà de kū lóu tóu ， gā gā de guài xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， kǒu pēn mó huǒ ， xiàng zhe jiàn guāng yíng shàng qù le 。
那独眼大汉身前有数个盾牌上下飞舞，似乎是什么成套的宝物，至于那老者，则祭出一串漆黑的念珠，随后化为十八个巨大的骷髅头，嘎嘎的怪笑声传入耳朵，口喷魔火，向着剑光迎上去了。
Attack instead of defense!
yǐ gōng dài shǒu ！
以攻代守！
It was no wonder this ancient demon from the Profound Stage refused to be outmatched.
bù kuì shì dòng xuán qī lǎo mó ， miàn duì zì jǐ jū rán bù kěn luò yú xià fēng 。
不愧是洞玄期老魔，面对自己居然不肯落于下风。
Lin Xuan muttered to himself but wore a sneer. The three demons’ plan wasn’t wrong; though their cultivation levels were insufficient, together they could match an advanced-stage cultivator.
lín xuān xīn zhōng dí gū ， rán ér zuǐ jiǎo què qín zhe yī sī lěng xiào zhī sè ， sān mó de dǎ suàn běn méi yǒu cuò ， jìng jiè suī rán bù zú ， dàn sān rén lián shǒu ， zú yǐ yǔ dòng xuán hòu qī de xiū shì xiāng kàng héng le 。
林轩心中嘀咕，然而嘴角却噙着一丝冷笑之色，三魔的打算本没有错，境界虽然不足，但三人连手，足以与洞玄后期的修士相抗衡了。
Unfortunately, despite all their calculations, they hadn't anticipated Lin Xuan's true strength. How ordinary an advanced-stage cultivator could hope to match his abilities.
kě xī ， tā men qiān suàn wàn suàn ， què yě liào bù zhōng lín xuān zhēn zhèng de shí lì ， jiū jìng rú hé ， nǎ shì pǔ tōng dòng xuán hòu qī xiū shì néng gòu qǐ jí de 。
可惜，他们千算万算，却也料不中林轩真正的实力，究竟如何，哪是普通洞玄后期修士能够企及的。
Piercing sounds of air slicing through the void echoed as the female demon’s cries of pain filled the air, and she was dismembered by chaotic sword strikes. Though her silk scarf was a rare treasure, it couldn’t withstand Lin Xuan's attack.
chī chī de pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， nà nǚ mó de cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shuài xiān bèi luàn jiàn fēn shī diào le ， cǐ nǚ jì chū de jǐn pà suī rán shì yī jiàn yì bǎo ， dàn hái jiē bú zhù lín xuān yī zhāo 。
嗤嗤的破空声大做，那女魔的惨叫声传入耳朵，率先被乱剑分尸掉了，此女祭出的锦帕虽然是一件异宝，但还接不住林轩一招。
The other two demons were terrified but too late to change their tactics. Red light blazed, and the one-eyed man’s shields shattered under the sword lights like cave walls. With his defenses broken, he had no chance of escape, being enveloped by a dozen sword lights that cut through him before his essence could even flee.
lìng liǎng mó dà jù ， dàn biàn zhāo yǐ shì lái bù jí ， hóng máng yào mù ， dú yǎn nán zi de jǐ miàn dùn pái zài jiàn guāng xià yě yǒu rú dòng fǔ ， fáng yù bèi pò ， tā nǎ lǐ hái yǒu jī huì táo tuō ， tóng yàng bèi shí yú dào jiàn guāng bāo guǒ ， lián yuán yīng dōu méi yǒu lái de jí táo chū 。
另两魔大惧，但变招已是来不及，红芒耀目，独眼男子的几面盾牌在剑光下也有如洞府，防御被破，他哪里还有机会逃脱，同样被十余道剑光包裹，连元婴都没有来得及逃出。
Lin Xuan turned his head to the left; only the old demon with the fierce appearance remained alive.
lín xuān yòu xiàng zuǒ zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， nà xiàng mào xiōng è de lǎo zhě shì wéi yī de xìng cún zhě 。
林轩又像左转过头颅，那相貌凶恶的老者是唯一的幸存者。
After all, he was the most advanced among the three demons. However, this mid-stage ancient demon’s face showed signs of panic as eighteen skulls scattered around him. Nevertheless, he managed to withstand this wave of attacks.
bì jìng tā shì sān mó zhōng xiū wèi zuì gāo de yí gè ， rán ér zhè wèi dòng xuán zhōng qī de gǔ mó cǐ kè liǎn shàng yě mǎn shì láng bèi zhī sè ， shēn qián de shí bā kē kū lóu yǐ shì qī líng bā luò ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， zǒng suàn shì jiāng zhè yī bō gōng jī chēng guò 。
毕竟他是三魔中修为最高的一个，然而这位洞玄中期的古魔此刻脸上也满是狼狈之色，身前的十八颗骷髅已是七零八落，但不管如何，总算是将这一波攻击撑过。
The elder's eyes were filled with fear.
lǎo zhě de yǎn zhōng chōng mǎn le kǒng jù zhī sè 。
老者的眼中充满了恐惧之色。
He had encountered a late-stage existence before, but never one so formidable that it could decapitate his second brother and sister in just one strike without even using any treasures.
dòng xuán hòu qī de cún zài tā yǐ qián yě huì guò ， nǎ yǒu zhè me kuā zhāng de ， lián bǎo wù yě bù jì chū ， jǐn jǐn píng jiè jiàn máng ， zhǐ yī zhāo ， jiù jiāng èr dì sān mèi gěi zhǎn le 。
洞玄后期的存在他以前也会过，哪有这么夸张的，连宝物也不祭出，仅仅凭借剑芒，只一招，就将二弟三妹给斩了。
Anger welled up in the elder’s heart, but fear was greater. He lacked the courage to continue fighting Lin Xuan. Black light enveloped him as he tried to escape, but Lin Xuan wouldn’t let him go.
lǎo zhě xīn zhōng fèn nù ， rán ér wèi jù gèng duō ， lián yǔ lín xuān jì xù dòu fǎ de yǒng qì dōu méi yǒu ， hún shēn hēi máng yì qǐ ， xiǎng yào táo tuō ， kě xī wán le ， lín xuān zěn me huì fàng tā zǒu ne 。
老者心中愤怒，然而畏惧更多，连与林轩继续斗法的勇气都没有，浑身黑芒一起，想要逃脱，可惜完了，林轩怎么会放他走呢。
Raising his right hand, he delivered a punch forward.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī quán xiàng qián dǎ le guò qù 。
右手抬起，一拳向前打了过去。
A force vortex appeared, dazzlingly golden and over ten feet in diameter, exerting a powerful suction towards the elder.
lì zhī qì xuán fú xiàn ér chū ， ér qiě shì yào mù de jīn sè ， zhí jìng dá shí yú zhàng yǒu yú ， cóng lǐ miàn sàn fà chū jù dà de xī lì ， xiàng zhe lǎo zhě yā le guò qù 。
力之气旋浮现而出，而且是耀目的金色，直径达十余丈有余，从里面散发出巨大的吸力，向着老者压了过去。
"Impossible!"
“ bù kě néng ！”
“不可能！”
The elder waved his hands repeatedly, causing several skulls to grow larger, but they still couldn't resist. They were sucked into the force vortex.
lǎo zhě shuāng shǒu lián lián huī wǔ ， shèng xià de qī bā kē kū lóu fēn fēn biàn dà ， rán ér hái shì dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， bèi lì zhī qì xuán gěi xī jìn qù le 。
老者双手连连挥舞，剩下的七八颗骷髅纷纷变大，然而还是抵挡不住，被力之气旋给吸进去了。
Panic-stricken, he reached into his robes, trying to retrieve some treasure to counter Lin Xuan's attack. Unfortunately for him, Lin Xuan wouldn’t give them that chance. More sword lights appeared out of nowhere and converged into a massive sword that fell from above, splitting the elder in two.
lǎo zhě dà jí ， shēn shǒu wǎng huái lǐ tāo qù ， hái xiǎng yào qù chú shén me bǎo wù lái yìng dí ， kě xī ， lín xuān shì bú huì gěi tā men zhè yàng jī huì dì ， jǐ dào jiàn guāng píng kōng fú xiàn ér chū ， wàng zhōng jiān yī hé ， yī bǐng jù jiàn chū xiàn zài shì xiàn zhōng ， dāng tóu zhǎn luò ， lǎo zhě yě bèi pī wèi liǎng bàn le 。
老者大急，伸手往怀里掏去，还想要去除什么宝物来应敌，可惜，林轩是不会给他们这样机会地，几道剑光凭空浮现而出，望中间一合，一柄巨剑出现在视线中，当头斩落，老者也被劈为两半了。
The entire process seemed complicated when described but took only a few breaths. Lin Xuan had killed three ancient demons of the Profound Stage with incredible power, making his abilities almost unimaginable. He could be considered on par with a Formation Realm existence, and it wasn’t an exaggeration.
zhěng gè guò chéng shuō qǐ lái fán fù ， dàn qián hòu bù guò shí jǐ xī de gōng fu ， rú tù qǐ hú luò ， lín xuān jiù miè shā le sān míng dòng xuán qī gǔ mó ， shén tōng zhī qiáng ， què shí dào le bù kě sī yì de dì bù ， shuō kān bǐ fēn shén qī cún zài ， sì hū yě méi yǒu rú hé kuā zhāng de 。
整个过程说起来繁复，但前后不过十几息的功夫，如兔起鹘落，林轩就灭杀了三名洞玄期古魔，神通之强，确实到了不可思议的地步，说堪比分神期存在，似乎也没有如何夸张的。
Lin Xuan accepted the storage bags of the three demons without hesitation. He then launched several fireballs to reduce their remains to ashes.
sān mó de chǔ wù dài ， lín xuān zì rán xiào nà le ， suí hòu dàn chū jǐ lì huǒ qiú ， jiāng tā men de cán shī yě huà wèi le huī yān 。
三魔的储物袋，林轩自然笑纳了，随后弹出几粒火球，将他们的残尸也化为了灰烟。
After completing these tasks, Lin Xuan didn't stop but extended his divine sense again, quickly finding something. Transformed into a streak of light, he flew towards the left horizon at incredible speed.
"Is that so? Then we can't be careless. My second brother is practicing the Shadow Concealment Demon Skill, and such vague premonitions are usually not far off. Given this feeling, there might indeed be some danger lurking nearby."
The black-robed woman's face showed a trace of seriousness. Though her appearance wasn’t remarkable, her voice was quite pleasant to listen to.
The elder did not object either. He began to look around, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
This left the three demons somewhat puzzled and uncertain.
"Second Brother, are you sure there’s danger here? Could it be due to too much tension?" The elder couldn't help speaking up.
"I do feel something amiss, but this sense isn’t always correct. Perhaps I’m just overthinking... Let's just go gather those spirit objects first; we can take extra care when picking them."
"Wait!" The elder stopped the two of them and looked at the second demon who seemed confused. "Since we've already wasted some time, it won't hurt to be more cautious. Better safe than sorry. We came here for treasures, but we don’t want to lose our lives over this."
"How about you? Do you have any other methods?"
"Yes, I recently obtained a treasure that might help in such situations."
The elder waved his sleeve and a black gourd appeared from within it. As he pulled the lid off, a whiff of alcohol wafted out.
The remaining two demons exchanged glances, unsure what the elder intended with this, but they didn't say anything to disturb him; it was clear that they trusted him.
"This spirit wine is something I stumbled upon by chance. Consuming it can temporarily expand your divine consciousness."
As he spoke, he was about to take a drink when a flash of green light surrounded his right hand and forcibly took the spirit wine away.
"Oh, I didn’t expect such a treasure. But giving this almost dying person such a precious item seems wasteful. A wise bird chooses its tree, and so does a treasure. How about I manage it for you?"

The elder waved his hands repeatedly, causing several skulls to grow larger, but they still couldn't resist. They were sucked into the force vortex.
Panic-stricken, he reached into his robes, trying to retrieve some treasure to counter Lin Xuan's attack. Unfortunately for him, Lin Xuan wouldn’t give them that chance. More sword lights appeared out of nowhere and converged into a massive sword that fell from above, splitting the elder in two.
The entire process seemed complicated when described but took only a few breaths. Lin Xuan had killed three ancient demons of the Profound Stage with incredible power, making his abilities almost unimaginable. He could be considered on par with a Formation Realm existence, and it wasn’t an exaggeration.
Lin Xuan accepted the storage bags of the three demons without hesitation. He then launched several fireballs to reduce their remains to ashes.
After completing these tasks, Lin Xuan didn't stop but extended his divine sense again, quickly finding something. Transformed into a streak of light, he flew towards the left horizon at incredible speed.
