“ bù hǎo ， kuài lí kāi cǐ chù ！”
“不好，快离开此处！”
"Bad, leave quickly!"

那青甲古魔扬起头颅，目光在那灵气所聚集而成的圆球上扫过，顿时勃然变色，猿臂轻舒，一把揽过旁边的女魔，随后身形一闪，已从原地消失不见。說，.Com
The ancient green-armored demon raised its head, scanning the ball of gathered qi with a look that instantly turned to alarm. With a swift motion of its ape-like arm, it grabbed the female demon beside it and vanished from sight in an instant.
shí lì dào le tā nà ge děng jí ， shùn yí kěn dìng shì máo máo yǔ ， suǒ bù tóng de shì ， duì cǐ fǎ shù zhǎng wò de shēn qiǎn ér yǐ 。
实力到了他那个等级，瞬移肯定是毛毛雨，所不同的是，对此法术掌握的深浅而已。
At his level, instantaneous teleportation was no big deal; what varied was how deeply one mastered such spells.
tā zhè yī tuì zú yǒu bǎi zhàng de jù lí ， suí hòu cǐ mó hái bù mǎn zú ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， zhǐ zhǎng jiān yǒu líng guāng shǎn dòng ， yí gè quán tou dà xiǎo de bǎo zhū fēi lüè ér chū 。
他这一退足有百丈的距离，随后此魔还不满足，右手抬起，指掌间有灵光闪动，一个拳头大小的宝珠飞掠而出。
He retreated by a hundred paces before the demon was still unsatisfied. It raised its right hand, and a flicker of light appeared between its fingers as a small ball of treasure flew out.
qīng máng zhà qǐ ， yī céng dàn qīng sè guāng mù zhòu rán fú xiàn ér chū ， suí hòu xùn sù màn yán ， jiāng tā hé nà nǚ mó bāo guǒ zài le lǐ miàn 。
青芒乍起，一层淡青色光幕骤然浮现而出，随后迅速蔓延，将他和那女魔包裹在了里面。
A layer of pale green light suddenly emerged, quickly spreading to envelop both the demon and the female demon.
zhěng gè guò chéng tù qǐ hú luò ， jī hū shì zài zhuǎn shùn jiān wán chéng de 。
整个过程兔起鹘落，几乎是在转瞬间完成的。
The entire process happened in a flash, nearly completed in an instant.
xià yī kè ， nà líng qì suǒ jù jí ér chéng de guāng qiú yǐ rú huì xīng yǔn luò ， yǔ dì miàn è hěn hěn de zhuàng jī zài yì qǐ le ……
下一刻，那灵气所聚集而成的光球已如彗星陨落，与地面恶狠狠的撞击在一起了……
In the next moment, the ball of gathered qi resembling a comet plummeted, colliding harshly with the ground...
yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de shì yī gǔ kě pà de líng yā chōng tiān ér qǐ ， jìng rán ràng fù jìn de kōng jiān kāi shǐ niǔ qū 。
一声巨响传入耳朵，与之伴随的是一股可怕的灵压冲天而起，竟然让附近的空间开始扭曲。
A loud explosion echoed through the air. Accompanying it was a terrifying surge of qi that warped nearby space.
yǎn qián de yī qiè ， shān shí 、 shù mù ， shèn zhì shì tǔ dì ， zài zhè gǔ kě pà de wēi néng xià ， quán dōu kāi shǐ xiāo róng ， yī tuán shén mì guāng yùn zhòu rán fú xiàn ， guāng máng bù suàn duō me de yào mù ， rán ér fán shì tā suǒ chù jí de shì wù ， quán dōu huà wèi jī fěn le 。
眼前的一切，山石、树木，甚至是土地，在这股可怕的威能下，全都开始消融，一团神秘光晕骤然浮现，光芒不算多么的耀目，然而凡是它所触及的事物，全都化为齑粉了。
Everything before his eyes—rocks, trees, even the earth—began to melt under this formidable power. A mysterious aura suddenly appeared, not particularly dazzling but turning everything it touched into dust.
nà guāng yùn yuán běn zhǐ jú xiàn yú shān gǔ ， dàn què yǐ lìng rén jiā xīn de sù dù xiàng zhe sì zhōu kuò sàn zhe 。
那光晕原本只局限于山谷，但却以令人家心的速度向着四周扩散着。
The aura initially confined to the valley rapidly spread at an alarming rate. In a blink of an eye, the position where the twin demons stood was also enveloped by it.
jǐn jǐn zhǎ yǎn de gōng fu ， tiān lán shuāng mó suǒ zhàn lì de wèi zhì yě bèi bāo guǒ 。
仅仅眨眼的功夫，天岚双魔所站立的位置也被包裹。
The green-armored demon's expression turned grim as he felt the force was incredibly fierce; his defensive treasure seemed unable to withstand it.
qīng jiǎ gǔ mó bó rán biàn sè ， zhǐ jué nà gǔ lì liàng kuáng bào yǐ jí ， zì jǐ suǒ jì chū de fáng yù bǎo wù jìng shì dǐ dǎng bú zhù 。
青甲古魔勃然变色，只觉那股力量狂暴以极，自己所祭出的防御宝物竟似抵挡不住。
Crack! Crack!
gē zhī gē zhī de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà kàn shì níng hou de qīng sè guāng mù yǐ shì yáo yáo yù zhuì le 。
咯吱咯吱的声音传入耳朵，那看似凝hou的青色光幕已是摇摇欲坠了。
A sharp sound entered his ears as a crack appeared on the surface of the ball. At first, just faintly visible, it quickly spread across the entire surface.
kě wù ！
可恶！
Seeing this valuable treasure about to turn into scrap metal, the pale green light, though dazzling, was merely a last flicker.
tā de liǎn sè nán kàn yǐ jí ， dāng rán méi yǒu zuò shì bù guǎn de dào lǐ 。
他的脸色难看以极，当然没有坐视不管的道理。
The twin demons were both shocked and angry but could do nothing to change things.
yī shēng bào hē ， hún shēn de fǎ lì yuán yuán ér chū ， huì chéng yī gǔ hēi sè de hóng liú ， yǒng rù nà tóu dǐng de bǎo zhū zhī zhōng 。
一声暴喝，浑身的法力源源而出，汇成一股黑色的洪流，涌入那头顶的宝珠之中。
A tearing sound filled his ears as the ball of treasure and the aura shattered into nothingness.
shà shí jiān ， líng máng dà zuò ， nà yuán běn kuài yào bēng kuì de guāng mù chóng xīn wěn dìng xià lái le 。
霎时间，灵芒大做，那原本快要崩溃的光幕重新稳定下来了。
Boom!
rán ér ， qīng jiǎ gǔ mó yě bù hǎo guò ， cóng tā de é tóu shàng ， yǒng qǐ yī lì yī lì de hàn zhū 。
然而，青甲古魔也不好过，从他的额头上，涌起一粒一粒的汗珠。
The terrifying aura rushed like a tidal wave, enveloping the twin demons...
xiǎn rán ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， jí biàn zhè fēn shén zhōng qī de jiā huo ， yě chī lì dào jí chù 。
显然，此时此刻，即便这分神中期的家伙，也吃力到极处。
In just a few breaths, it felt like an eternity.
kā jiā ……
咔家……
Finally, the aura dissipated, and the terrifying qi pressure vanished.
yī cuì xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà bǎo zhū de biǎo miàn ， jū rán yǒu yī sī liè hén chū xiàn 。
一脆响声传入耳朵，那宝珠的表面，居然有一丝裂痕出现。
But everything before his eyes was now utterly different. The mountains were gone, the valley had become nothing but empty space, and even the entire surface had been stripped away in large chunks. Where there used to be a valley, there was now a big pit. The ground had turned into molten rock, with lava surging out; no life remained... No, not quite. In the center of that pit sat a young man cross-legged, wearing a green robe and looking as ordinary as could be.
kāi shǐ ， jǐn yǒu dàn dàn de yì diǎn ， suí hòu ， què xùn sù xiàng sì zhōu màn yán ， hěn kuài ， jiù pá mǎn le zhěng gè bǎo zhū de biǎo miàn 。
开始，仅有淡淡的一点，随后，却迅速像四周蔓延，很快，就爬满了整个宝珠的表面。
His clothes were tattered, his hair loose and disheveled, giving him an air of destitution akin to a street beggar.
yǎn kàn ， zhè jià zhí bù fēi de bǎo wù ， jiù yào huà wèi yī duī pò tóng làn tiě diào le ， nà qīng sè de guāng mù suī líng guāng yào mù ， dàn yě bù guò shì huí guāng fǎn zhào bà le 。
眼看，这价值不菲的宝物，就要化为一堆破铜烂铁掉了，那青色的光幕虽灵光耀目，但也不过是回光返照罢了。
Yet this seemingly destitute youth was seated in the pit, with only a few feet around him untouched by the lava.
tiān lán liǎng mó yòu jīng yòu nù ， rán ér yě wú fǎ gǎi biàn shén me 。
天岚两魔又惊又怒，然而也无法改变什么。
Sigh...
cī lā yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， bǎo zhū yǔ guāng mù ， tóng shí suì liè huà wèi le xū wú 。
刺啦一声传入耳朵，宝珠与光幕，同时碎裂化为了虚无。
Lin Xuan exhaled a mouthful of stale air, then slowly raised his head. His eyes finally opened after being closed.
hōng ！
轰！
A dazzling light shone from them!
nà kě pà de guāng yùn ， rú hǎi cháo nù tāo yì bān de shā zhì ， jiāng tiān lán shuāng mó bāo guǒ ……
那可怕的光晕，如海潮怒涛一般的杀至，将天岚双魔包裹……
His appearance was unremarkable, but at this moment, an intimidating radiance suddenly burst forth from those eyes...
duǎn duǎn de shù xī ， què xiàng qiān nián yì bān de màn cháng 。
短短的数息，却像千年一般的漫长。
From over a hundred paces away, as the aura dissipated, two figures reappeared.
zhōng yú ， nà guāng yùn tuì qù ， kě pà de líng yā yě xiāo shī le zōng jì 。
终于，那光晕退去，可怕的灵压也消失了踪迹。
The twin demons of Tianlan!
rán ér yǎn qián de yī qiè ， què yǐ shì jié rán bù tóng ， yòng miàn mù quán fēi lái xíng róng ， yě shì háo bù wèi guò ， shān fēng bú jiàn le ， shān gǔ zì rán yě shì huà wèi le xū wú ， shèn zhì lián zhěng gè dì biǎo ， dōu bèi xuē qù le lǎo dà de céng ， yuán běn shān gǔ suǒ zài de dì fāng ， biàn chéng le yí gè dà kēng 。 dì miàn ， huà wèi le róng róng tǐ ， yán jiāng bēn téng ér chū ， zǎo yǐ méi yǒu le rèn hé shēng wù …… bù ， bú duì ， zài nà dà kēng de zhōng xīn ， yí gè shào nián pán xī ér zuò ， shēn chuān qīng yī ， miàn mù gèng shì pǔ tōng yǐ jí 。
然而眼前的一切，却已是截然不同，用面目全非来形容，也是毫不为过，山峰不见了，山谷自然也是化为了虚无，甚至连整个地表，都被削去了老大的层，原本山谷所在的地方，变成了一个大坑。地面，化为了熔融体，岩浆奔腾而出，早已没有了任何生物……不，不对，在那大坑的中心，一个少年盘膝而坐，身穿青衣，面目更是普通以极。
Although the blast of qi had been incredibly powerful, they were still late-stage spirit-seer ancient demons—legendary great beings. How could it be easy for them to perish? They just looked slightly disheveled.
tā suǒ chuān de yī fú ， yǐ jīng pò pò làn làn le ， yuán běn wǎn zhe de fà jì ， yě sàn kāi ， tóu fà pī sǎn xià lái ， kàn shàng qù ， pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn luò pò ， jiù yǔ jiē shàng de qǐ gài chà bu duō 。
他所穿的衣服，已经破破烂烂了，原本挽着的发髻，也散开，头发披散下来，看上去，颇有几分落魄，就与街上的乞丐差不多。
The couple also turned their gaze towards him.
rán ér jiù shì zhè me yí gè zhuàng shì liáo dǎo de shào nián ， què zuò zài dà kēng zhī zhōng ， yǐ tā shēn tǐ wèi zhōng xīn de zhàng xǔ yuǎn chù ， yě shì wéi yī méi yǒu shòu dào yán jiāng qīn shí de 。
然而就是这么一个状似潦倒的少年，却坐在大坑之中，以他身体为中心的丈许远处，也是唯一没有受到岩浆侵蚀的。
Their eyes met in mid-air, as if sparks flew between them.
āi ……
唉……
However, compared to Lin Xuan, the twin demons showed clear signs of surprise.
lín xuān qīng qīng hū xī ， cóng zuǐ bā lǐ tǔ chū yī kǒu zhuó qì ， suí hòu huǎn huǎn tái qǐ tóu lú ， yuán běn bì zhe de yǎn jīng ， yě zhōng yú zhēng kāi le 。
林轩轻轻呼吸，从嘴巴里吐出一口浊气，随后缓缓抬起头颅，原本闭着的眼睛，也终于睁开了。
Lin Xuan's cultivation was far lower than they had imagined.
jīng máng sì shè ！
精芒四射！
Although those three sets of array flags were easily broken by them, the last set of the Five Elements Qi Storage Array ended up in their hands. However, considering these few arrays' formidable power, it wasn't easy to kill hundreds of ancient demons with just a few breaths.
tā de róng mào pǔ tōng yǐ jí ， rán ér cǐ kè ， nà duì yǎn móu zhōng què yǒu shè rén de guāng cǎi sà rán zhàn fàng chū lái ……
他的容貌普通以极，然而此刻，那对眼眸中却有慑人的光彩飒然绽放出来……
A daoist of Profound Obscure stage might have one or two such sets, but having four at this level was more like the work of a late-stage spirit-seer cultivator.
bǎi yú zhàng yuǎn chù ， suí zhe guāng yùn sàn qù ， liǎng gè shēn yǐng yě tóng yàng chóng xīn fú xiàn le 。
百余丈远处，随着光晕散去，两个身影也同样重新浮现了。
Of course, that alone wasn't enough proof. After all, among late-stage spirit-seers, everyone's background differed.
tiān lán shuāng mó ！
天岚双魔！
It wasn't impossible for someone with deep pockets to collect these four sets simultaneously.
suī rán gāng cái ， líng qì suǒ bào fā de yī jī wēi lì wú bǐ ， rán ér fēn shén qī gǔ mó ， yǐ jīng shì chuán shuō zhōng de dà néng cún zài le ， fū qī liǎ yòu zěn me kě néng nà me róng yì yǔn luò ， zhǐ bù guò kàn shàng qù ， shāo wēi yǒu nà me yì diǎn láng bèi bà le 。
虽然刚才，灵气所爆发的一击威力无比，然而分神期古魔，已经是传说中的大能存在了，夫妻俩又怎么可能那么容易陨落，只不过看上去，稍微有那么一点狼狈罢了。
But the appearance of Silver Winged Corpse King dispelled their doubts. Although this corpse king enraged them greatly, it indirectly confirmed Lin Xuan's strength.
fū qī liǎ tóng yàng wàng guò lái 。
夫妻俩同样望过来。
A spirit king at late-stage spirit-seer could control such a grade of reanimated corpses; his master's strength couldn't be low either—certainly, he should be at least late-stage.
sān rén mù guāng zài bàn kōng zhōng xiāng chù ， sì hū yǒu huǒ huā bèng shè ér chū 。
三人目光在半空中相触，似乎有火huā迸射而出。
The couple speculated that this was likely an early-stage late-stage spirit-seer cultivator and probably a wandering daoist. Otherwise, why would he choose to break through in such a mixed place?
bù guò yǔ lín xuān xiāng bǐ ， tiān lán shuāng mó míng xiǎn lù chū jǐ fēn jīng yà zhī yì 。
不过与林轩相比，天岚双魔明显露出几分惊讶之意。
If it were another time or purpose, the couple might not have provoked them.
lín xuān de xiū wèi ， yuǎn bǐ tā men xiǎng xiàng de dī 。
林轩的修为，远比他们想象的低。
Even with their combined strength, they could certainly defeat them. However, the twin demons had one distinct trait: they bullied the weak but feared the strong.
nà sān tào zhèn qí ， suī rán bèi tā men qīng sōng pò qù ， zuì hòu yī tào wǔ xíng yùn líng zhèn gèng shì luò rù le tā men de shǒu lǐ ， rán ér píng xīn lái shuō ， zhè jǐ tào zhèn fǎ de wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， fǒu zé yě bú huì qīng qīng sōng sōng ， jiù miè shā le shù yǐ bǎi jì de gǔ mó 。
那三套阵旗，虽然被他们轻松破去，最后一套五行蕴灵阵更是落入了他们的手里，然而平心来说，这几套阵法的威力非同小可，否则也不会轻轻松松，就灭杀了数以百计的古魔。
The number of late-stage spirit-seers killed by the couple numbered in the thousands, if not tens of thousands, but those at this level were countable on one hand...
dòng xuán qī cún zài ， yōng yǒu yī liǎng tào hái hǎo shuō ， tóng shí yōng yǒu sì tào zhè zhǒng děng jiē de zhèn qí ， kě jiù bǐ jiào xiàng fēn shén qī xiū shì de shǒu bǐ 。
洞玄期存在，拥有一两套还好说，同时拥有四套这种等阶的阵旗，可就比较像分神期修士的手笔。
The couple was cautious.
dāng rán ， jǐn jǐn zhè yì diǎn ， hái bù zú wéi píng ， bì jìng ， tóng shì fēn shén qī gǔ mó ， měi gè rén de shēn jiā yě shì bù yí yàng de 。
当然，仅仅这一点，还不足为凭，毕竟，同是分神期古魔，每个人的身家也是不一样的。
Late-stage spirit-seers weren't something to fear, but provoking a peer would inevitably lead to a fierce battle!
wàn yī chū xiàn yí gè cái dà qì cū de jiā huo ， yě bú shì bù kě néng tóng shí sōu luó zhè sì tào zhèn qí de 。
万一出现一个财大气粗的家伙，也不是不可能同时搜罗这四套阵旗的。
As they say, one can't walk by water without getting wet. If luck turned bad and they provoked an exceptionally powerful individual, even the couple wouldn't dare claim absolute victory. A fall could mean losing everything.
bù guò yín chì shī wáng de chū xiàn ， què dǎ xiāo le liǎng mó de yí lǜ ， suī rán cǐ shī wáng ràng tā men fèn nù yǐ jí ， dàn què biàn xiàng zuò shí le lín xuān de shí lì 。
不过银翅尸王的出现，却打消了两魔的疑虑，虽然此尸王让他们愤怒以极，但却变相坐实了林轩的实力。
Cruel and bloodthirsty yet cautious, it seemed contradictory.
shī wáng shì fēn shén qī ， néng gòu cāo kòng zhè zhǒng děng jí de liàn shī ， zhǔ rén de shí lì ， dāng rán yě bù néng dī ， zhì shǎo yīng gāi shì fēn shén cái kě yǐ 。
尸王是分神期，能够操控这种等级的炼尸，主人的实力，当然也不能低，至少应该是分神才可以。
But the twin demons were precisely such individuals.
fū qī liǎ tuī cè ， zhè yīng gāi shì yī míng fèn shén chū qī de gǔ mó ， ér qiě duō bàn shì sàn xiū ， fǒu zé bú huì xuǎn zé zài lóng shé hùn zá zhī dì tū pò 。
夫妻俩推测，这应该是一名分神初期的古魔，而且多半是散修，否则不会选择在龙蛇混杂之地突破。
They didn't want to provoke peers but this time was different—this mission was set by Holy Ancestor. Finding the Dragon Flame Grass would bring unimaginable benefits.
ruò shì huàn yí gè shí jiān ， huàn yí gè mù dì ， fū qī liǎ bù yí dìng huì qù zhāo rě 。
若是换一个时间，换一个目的，夫妻俩不一定会去招惹。

"Bad, leave quickly!"
