下一刻，爆裂声传入耳朵，罡风四射，整个大地……不，是整个空间都在摇晃了，气浪与肉眼可见的冲击波，向着四周激射，所过之处，神挡杀神，佛挡杀佛，凡是挡在前面的一切，尽皆化为齑粉了。随
In the next moment, a burst of sound entered his ears as gale-force winds shot out in all directions. The entire earth... no, the whole space began to shake. Air currents and visible shockwaves radiated outward, obliterating anything that stood in their path.
rán ér lín xuān què yì diǎn yě bù guān xīn jié guǒ ， yī zhāo fā chū yǐ hòu ， jiù sà rán zhuǎn guò tóu lú 。
然而林轩却一点也不关心结果，一招发出以后，就飒然转过头颅。
However, Lin Xuan was not concerned with the outcome. After launching a single move, he turned his head gracefully.
zhěng gè ’ guò chéng miǎn qǐ gǔ luò ， nà nǚ mó shèn zhì lái bù jí fǎn yìng shén me ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā zhèng máng zhe cāo zòng nà xiū luó mó rèn ， xiǎng yào jiāng chán zhe de jiàn sī zhǎn chú ， bì jìng zhè shì tā zuì lì hài de bǎo wù ， dāng rán bù néng qì zhī bù gù 。
整个’过程免起鹘落，那女魔甚至来不及反应什么，此时此刻，她正忙着操纵那修罗魔刃，想要将缠着的剑丝斩除，毕竟这是她最厉害的宝物，当然不能弃之不顾。
The process was swift and decisive. The female demon had no time to react as she focused on controlling the Deva Blade to sever the sword threads缠绕着她的剑丝。After all, this was her most powerful treasure, one she couldn’t afford to abandon.
cǐ shí jiàn lín xuān zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， cǐ nǚ mó de liǎn sè nà jiào yí gè yán sù ， wàng zhe yuǎn chù bào liè de yú bō ， tā jì dān xīn wén dà ， tóng shí ， duì lín xuān de shén tōng ， yě shì jiè jù dào jí chù 。
此时见林轩转过头颅，此女魔的脸色那叫一个严肃，望着远处爆裂的余波，她既担心文大，同时，对林轩的神通，也是戒惧到极处。
Seeing Lin Xuan turn his head, the female demon’s expression turned serious. She watched the distant explosion with concern for Wen Da while also feeling extreme caution towards Lin Xuan's abilities.
zhè yī cì hái zhēn shì xiā yǎn le ， yuán běn yǐ wéi yī gāng gāng jìn jí de xiǎo jiā huo ， lián jìng jiè yě wèi wěn gù ， jiù suàn yǒu xiē shǒu duàn ， yòu néng lì hài dào shén me chéng dù ， zì jǐ fū qī èr rén chū shǒu ， nà hái bú shì shǒu dào qín lái me ……， nǎ xiǎo de ， duì fāng què gēn běn bù néng yòng cháng lǐ chuǎi mó ， zì jǐ fū qī zhè yī huí shì zhēn tī dào tiě bǎn le 。
这一次还真是瞎眼了，原本以为一刚刚晋级的小家伙，连境界也未稳固，就算有些手段，又能厉害到什么程度，自己夫妻二人出手，那还不是手到擒来么……，哪晓得，对方却根本不能用常理揣摩，自己夫妻这一回是真踢到铁板了。
This really was a blind eye. Initially, he seemed like an insignificant newcomer who had just ascended and hadn't yet stabilized in his cultivation realm. Even if he did have some tricks up his sleeve, how formidable could he be? His couple would easily capture him... but now, it turned out that he couldn’t be reasoned with.
rán ér hòu huǐ yě méi yǒu yòng chǔ 。
然而后悔也没有用处。
There was no use regretting it now. With both parties having broken their truce and fighting to the brink of life or death, there was no possibility of stopping.
shuāng fāng yǐ jīng sī pò liǎn pí ， dǎ dào le zhè bān dì bù ， bù fēn chū jīn shēng sǐ qiáng ruò ， nǎ yǒu kě néng bà shǒu 。
双方已经撕破脸皮，打到了这般地步，不分出今生死强弱，哪有可能罢手。
Even if a ceasefire were possible, she wouldn't dare do so. She had come to Spirit Source Valley on orders from the Holy Ancestor to find Dragon Flame Grass. Knowing the treasure was here, but retreating out of fear... the walls have ears. If this matter reached the Holy Ancestor’s ears, what would happen?
hé kuàng ， jiù suàn zhēn néng yán hé ， tā yě bù gǎn zhè me zuò ， zhè yī cì lái líng yuán gǔ ， shì fèng shèng zǔ dà rén de mìng lìng lái zhǎo lóng yán cǎo de 。
何况，就算真能言和，她也不敢这么做，这一次来灵源谷，是奉圣祖大人的命令来找龙炎草的。
While this young man was troublesome, compared to the Holy Ancestor's wrath, he was insignificant.
míng zhī dào bǎo wù jiù zài cǐ chù ， què dǎn qiè tuì bì ， shì shàng méi yǒu bù tòu fēng de qiáng ， wàn yī zhè jiàn shì qíng bèi tiān yuán shèng zǔ xiǎo de ， nà hòu guǒ ……
明知道宝物就在此处，却胆怯退避，世上没有不透风的墙，万一这件事情被天元圣祖晓得，那后果……
With these thoughts in mind, the female demon prepared to summon another treasure. However, it was Lin Xuan who acted first.
yǎn qián xiǎo zi suī rán nán chán ， dàn yǔ shèng zǔ dà rén de nù huǒ xiāng bǐ ， zé yòu gēn běn bù suàn shén me 。
眼前小子虽然难缠，但与圣祖大人的怒火相比，则又根本不算什么。
He raised his left hand, fingers curling into claws and gripping with immense force.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， cǐ nǚ zhèng yù jì chū bié de bǎo wù ， rán ér zhè yī cì ， què shì lín xuān qiǎng xiān dòng shǒu le 。
脑海中念头转过，此女正欲祭出别的宝物，然而这一次，却是林轩抢先动手了。
Sizzle...
zhǐ jiàn tā zuǒ shǒu tái qǐ ， wǔ zhǐ chéng zhǎo 。 níng zhòng yì cháng de cháo qián miàn yī zhuā 。
只见他左手抬起，五指成爪。凝重异常的朝前面一抓。
A spatial fluctuation occurred as the earth’s qi gathered together. A green giant hand appeared before their eyes, covered in faded runes, with mysterious ancient text faintly visible on its surface.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
This hand was over ten feet long. As soon as it appeared, it curled into claws and lunged downward.
kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ ， tiān dì jiān de líng qì wǎng zhōng jiān yī jù ， yī zhī qīng sè de jù shǒu chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ ， biǎo miàn fú wén bān bó ， yǐn yǐn yǒu quán tou dà xiǎo de shén mì gǔ wén ruò yǐn ruò xiàn zhe 。
空间波动骤起，天地间的灵气往中间一聚，一只青色的巨手出现在了视线里，表面符文斑驳，隐隐有拳头大小的神秘古文若隐若现着。
The female demon’s face showed a hint of surprise but quickly turned to a sneer.
cǐ shǒu zhǎng dá shí zhàng yú ， gāng yī chū xiàn ， lì kè wǔ zhǐ chéng zhǎo ， xiàng zhe xià miàn yī zhuā 。
此手长达十丈余，刚一出现，立刻五指成爪，向着下面一抓。
It's like trying to play the lute in front of a master. No wonder this move seemed familiar; he had used it on his husband just now, and she saw it clearly from afar.
nà nǚ mó jiàn le ， liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī chà yì zhī sè ， dàn hěn kuài ， jiù bèi lěng xiào gěi tì dài le 。
那女魔见了，脸上闪过一丝诧异之色，但很快，就被冷笑给替代了。
Almost instantly, her husband dispelled it. This move was merely showy and impractical for dealing with a Divination Realm existence.
zhēn shì bān mén nòng fǔ ， nán guài zì jǐ qiáo zhe zhè zhāo shù yǒu xiē yǎn shú ， jiù zài qián yī kè 。 tā hái duì zhàng fū shī zhǎn guò ， ér cǐ nǚ zhàn zài yuǎn chù ， nà yě shì kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
真是班门弄斧，难怪自己瞧着这招数有些眼熟，就在前一刻。他还对丈夫施展过，而此女站在远处，那也是看得清清楚楚。
"Ah, I see the purpose is to buy time. He must have something more powerful up his sleeve," the female demon thought. She paid no mind to this green giant hand, flicking her wrist and sending out a black light that transformed into a thick yellow serpent-like demon snake, which lunged forward with its blood-red mouth.
jī hū shì yī zhǎ yǎn ， jiù bèi fū jūn pò chú ， cǐ zhāo shù shuō tú yǒu qí biǎo xiǎn rán shì yǒu xiē tài guò ， dàn xiǎng yào duì fù fēn shén qī cún zài zé yǒu xiē chī xīn wàng xiǎng le 。
几乎是一眨眼，就被夫君破除，此招数说徒有其表显然是有些太过，但想要对付分神期存在则有些痴心妄想了。
This move was just an arbitrary attempt, so its power wasn’t particularly impressive. But given her husband’s example, she believed it would be sufficient to handle the giant hand.
“ ń ， xiǎng bì zhè yī zhāo de mù dì ， bù guò shì tuō yán ér yǐ ， tā yí dìng lìng yǒu lì hài shā zhe ， nǎo hǎi zhōng zhè yàng xiǎng zhe 。 nà nǚ mó duì cǐ qīng sè jù shǒu ， yě jiù méi yǒu zěn me fàng zài xīn shàng ， jǐn jǐn shì yù shǒu yī fú ， yī dào hēi guāng cóng zhǐ zhǎng jiān fēi lüè ér chū ， lüè yī pán xuán fēi wǔ ， lì kè huà wèi le yī tiáo huáng tǒng cū xì de mó mǎng ， zhāng kāi xuè pén dà 。” xiàng zhe jù shǒu pū jī qù le 。
“嗯，想必这一招的目的，不过是拖延而已，他一定另有厉害杀着，脑海中这样想着。那女魔对此青色巨手，也就没有怎么放在心上，仅仅是玉手一拂，一道黑光从指掌间飞掠而出，略一盘旋飞舞，立刻化为了一条黄桶粗细的魔蟒，张开血盆大。”像着巨手扑击去了。
She only used one-tenth of her strength for defense while reserving nine-tenths to watch Lin Xuan and see what other tricks he had up his sleeve.
zhè zhāo shù bù guò shì rèn yì shī wéi ， wēi lì zì rán tán bù shàng duō me guǎng bó 。 dàn gāng gāng yǒu fū jūn de lì zi zài xiān ， xiǎng lái yìng fù nà jù shǒu ， hái shì chuò chuò yǒu yú de 。
这招数不过是任意施为，威力自然谈不上多么广博。但刚刚有夫君的例子在先，想来应付那巨手，还是绰绰有余的。
Lin Xuan did indeed act.
cǐ nǚ jǐn jǐn shì fēn chū yī fēn lì qì fáng yù ， shèng xià de jiǔ fēn jīng lì ， què shì luò zài lín xuān shēn shàng ， kàn tā hái yǒu shén me lì hài shā zhe 。
此女仅仅是分出一分力气防御，剩下的九分精力，却是落在林轩身上，看他还有什么厉害杀着。
He flicked his sleeves, and countless leaf-shaped法宝 flew out, thin as cicada wings and in the thousands.
lín xuān guǒ rán chū shǒu le 。
林轩果然出手了。
The woman’s expression changed dramatically. While his Nine Palaces Quick Sword only numbered eighty-one, it was already overwhelming; now, she faced ten times more treasures...
zhǐ jiàn tā xiù páo yī wǒ ， líng guāng shǎn shuò ， wú shù liǔ yè xíng zhuàng de fǎ bǎo fēi lüè ér chū ， báo rú chán yì ， shù liàng gèng shì jīng rén yǐ jí ， zú yǒu shù qiān zhī duō 。
只见他袖袍一我，灵光闪烁，无数柳叶形状的法宝飞掠而出，薄如蝉翼，数量更是惊人以极，足有数千之多。
She was somewhat alarmed.
nà nǚ zǐ bó rán biàn sè 。
那女子勃然变色。
However, Twin Storm Demons were no ordinary foes. As a Divination Realm ancient monster, after her initial shock, she quickly discerned the situation.
lín xuān de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn bù guò bā shí yī bǐng ， yǐ ràng tā gǎn dào nán yǐ yìng fù ， yǎn qián duì fāng jì chū de bǎo wù shù liàng gèng shì tiān le shí bèi hái duō “……
林轩的九宫须臾剑不过八十一柄，已让他感到难以应付，眼前对方祭出的宝物数量更是添了十倍还多“……
While these leaf-shaped flying knives were numerous and seemed powerful, compared to his Nine Palaces Quick Sword, they fell short in every way.
cǐ nǚ xīn zhōng yǒu xiē hài rán le 。
此女心中有些骇然了。
In essence, they were just showy distractions.
rán ér tiān lán shuāng mó ， fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， tā bì jìng shì fēn shén qī lǎo guài wù ， zuì chū de jīng yà guò hòu 。 hěn kuài yě kàn chū duān ní 。
然而天岚双魔，非同小可，她毕竟是分神期老怪物，最初的惊讶过后。很快也看出端倪。
Tiny brat, you nearly scared me.
nà xiē báo rú chán yì de fēi dāo suī rán shù liàng hài rén ， ér qiě líng guāng shǎn dòng jiān 。 yě shì yī jiàn yì bǎo ， dàn yǔ jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn xiāng bǐ 。 bì jìng shì yuǎn yuǎn bù jí 。
那些薄如蝉翼的飞刀虽然数量骇人，而且灵光闪动间。也是一件异宝，但与九宫须臾剑相比。毕竟是远远不及。
The female demon’s anger turned to joy as she laughed. She reached out her hand and patted her waist, intending to take out another treasure. But at that moment, a "puff" sound entered her ears from above.
jiǎn dān de shuō ， duì zì jǐ ér yán ， bù guò yī hǔ rén de dōng xī 。
简单的说，对自己而言，不过一唬人的东西。
She didn’t pay attention, assuming the giant hand had been broken by her demon snake. However, in the next instant, she felt something was amiss.
liù xiǎo jiā huo ， chà diǎn bèi nǐ xià zhù 。”
六小家伙，差点被你吓住。”
The actual situation was completely different from what she expected.
nà nǚ mó zhuǎn nù wèi xǐ ， xiào mà le yī jù ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， zhèng yào qǔ chū bié de bǎo wù ， rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ，“ pū ， de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà shēng yīn lái zì tóu dǐng zhī chù 。
那女魔转怒为喜，笑骂了一句，伸出手来，在腰间一拍，正要取出别的宝物，然而就在此刻，“噗，的一声传入耳朵，那声音来自头顶之处。
A strange flame appeared between the fingers of the giant hand, colorful and eerie.
nǚ zǐ bìng méi yǒu zài yì ， tā de dì yī fǎn yìng shì nà yòng líng qì biàn huà ér chū de jù shǒu ， bèi zì jǐ de mó mǎng jī pò ， rán ér xià yī kè ， què sà rán gǎn jué dào bú duì le 。
女子并没有在意，她的第一反应是那用灵气变化而出的巨手，被自己的魔蟒击破，然而下一刻，却飒然感觉到不对了。
Phantom Spirit Heaven Fire!
zhēn zhèng de qíng kuàng yǔ tā yuán xiān de yù liào wán quán bù tóng 。
真正的情况与她原先的预料完全不同。
The demon snake, merely a casual throw, couldn’t withstand this Phantom Spirit Heaven Fire. It instantly evaporated into nothingness.
zhǐ jiàn yī tuán guǐ yì de huǒ yàn zài nà jù shǒu de zhǐ zhǎng zhī jiān fú xiàn ér chū ， wǔ sè liú lí ， xiǎn de měi lì ér guǐ yì 。
只见一团诡异的火焰在那巨手的指掌之间浮现而出，五色琉璃，显得美丽而诡异。
The female demon’s expression turned pale as she realized she had been duped. But it was too late to change her tactics. A "whoosh" sound filled the air as the Phantom Spirit Heaven Fire approached within a dozen feet of her, enveloping her from head to toe.
huàn líng tiān huǒ ！
幻灵天火！
After continuous cultivation and fusion, the Phantom Spirit Heaven Fire now possessed four attributes: coldness, toxicity, corrosion, and devourment. After absorbing a hundred demon flames, it gained an additional "piercing" effect...
nà mó mǎng yě bù guò shì cǐ nǚ xìn shǒu huī chū ， wēi lì néng qiáng dào shén me dì bù ， yī yǔ huàn líng tiān huǒ xiāng yù ， lì kè jiù huà wèi le xū wú 。
那魔蟒也不过是此女信手挥出，威力能强到什么地步，一与幻灵天火相遇，立刻就化为了虚无。
Its power was formidable; even Divination Realm ancient demons would be severely injured if trapped.
cǐ nǚ dà jīng shī sè ， zhè cái zhī dào zì jǐ shàng dàng shòu piàn le ， rán ér biàn zhāo yǐ jīng lái bù jí ，“ hū ， de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， huàn líng tiān huǒ yǐ jīng pū dào shēn qián zhàng xǔ zhī chù ， suí hòu jiāng tā cóng tóu dào jiǎo bāo guǒ 。
此女大惊失色，这才知道自己上当受骗了，然而变招已经来不及，“呼，的一声传入耳朵，幻灵天火已经扑到身前丈许之处，随后将她从头到脚包裹。
However, no matter how wondrous the Phantom Spirit Heaven Fire was, its effects were only effective when it hit the target. Otherwise, all her efforts would be in vain.
rú jīn de huàn líng tiān huǒ ， jīng guò bù duàn de xiū liàn yǔ róng hé ， yǐ jīng yǒu sì zhǒng shǔ xìng lái zhe ， fēn bié shì hán lěng 、 jù dú 、 fǔ shí 、 hái yǒu tūn shì 。
如今的幻灵天火，经过不断的修炼与融合，已经有四种属性来着，分别是寒冷、剧毒、腐蚀、还有吞噬。
The female demon’s wisdom and alertness allowed her to quickly devise a plan to capture Lin Xuan with the Phantom Spirit Heaven Fire. But for anyone else, this would have been impossible.
qián yī zhèn tūn shì le bǎi líng mó huǒ ， tā de shǔ xìng yòu zēng jiā le ， huò dé le “ chuān cì ， de xiào guǒ ……
前一阵吞噬了百灵魔火，它的属性又增加了，获得了“穿刺，的效果……
But Lin Xuan was no ordinary cultivator; his quick thinking and rich combat experience enabled him to find a solution where others would fail.
wēi lì nà bú yòng shuō ， jí biàn shì fēn shén qī gǔ mó ， yí dàn bèi kùn zhù ， bù sǐ yě yào tuō céng pí 。
威力那不用说，即便是分神期古魔，一旦被困住，不死也要脱层皮。
Wisdom over brute force!
bù guò huàn líng tiān huǒ zài shén miào ， yě yāo jī zhōng duì fāng cái yǒu xiào guǒ ， fǒu zé yī qiè dōu chéng le bái máng huó 。
不过幻灵天火再神妙，也要击中对方才有效果，否则一切都成了白忙活。
While easy to say, implementing it required countless clever maneuvers.
ér yǎn qián cǐ nǚ shén tōng zàn qiě bù tí ， xīn xìng què shì jī jǐng wú bǐ ， jí qiè zhī jiān ， xiǎng yào yòng huàn líng tiān huǒ jiāng tā zhuō zhù ， shí zài shì nán rú dēng tiān 。
而眼前此女神通暂且不提，心性却是机警无比，急切之间，想要用幻灵天火将她捉住，实在是难如登天。
Lin Xuan’s plan targeted the female demon. When he faced the Green Armored Ancient Demon, he used cunning tactics. Before unleashing his devouring sword for its devastating strike, he formed a giant hand with qi and grabbed at her. However, this move was not particularly impressive; the Green Armored Ancient Demon easily dispelled it by releasing an electric dragon.
huàn yí gè rén ， kěn dìng shì kǔ wú liáng cè ， rán ér lín xuān qǐ shì pǔ tōng xiū shì kě yǐ bǐ nǐ de ， tā rén jì jī jǐng ， dòu fǎ jīng yàn yòu hěn fēng fù ， bié rén zuò bú dào de shì ， què yìng shì gěi tā xiǎng dào bàn fǎ le 。
换一个人，肯定是苦无良策，然而林轩岂是普通修士可以比拟的，他人既机警，斗法经验又很丰富，别人做不到的事，却硬是给他想到办法了。
The female demon watched the entire process clearly but didn’t realize she had already fallen into Lin Xuan’s trap.
dòu zhì bù dòu lì ！
斗智不斗力！
First impression is everything!
cǐ huà shuō qǐ lái qīng sōng ， rán ér zhēn yào zhào zuò ， xū yào de cōng míng jī biàn zhī duō ， què shì nán yǐ yán shù 。
此话说起来轻松，然而真要照做，需要的聪明机变之多，却是难以言述。
Indeed, what Lin Xuan wanted was simply that first impression. After the female demon fell for his trick, he used a similar tactic when facing her.
lín xuān suàn jì de nǎi shì cǐ nǚ ， rán ér què zài duì shàng qīng jiǎ gǔ mó de shí hòu jiù yòng shàng le xīn jī ， zài shǐ yòng shì líng jiàn fā chū jīng tiān yī jiàn zhī qián ， xiān yòng líng qì jù chéng jù shǒu zhuā qù ， rán ér zhè yī zhāo què bìng méi yǒu shén me liǎo de ， qīng jiǎ gǔ mó suí shǒu fàng chū diàn jiāo jiù jiāng tā pò qù 。
林轩算计的乃是此女，然而却在对上青甲古魔的时候就用上了心机，在使用噬灵剑发出惊天一剑之前，先用灵气聚成巨手抓去，然而这一招却并没有什么了得，青甲古魔随手放出电蛟就将它破去。
She dismissed it as a mere decoy to lure her in...
Boom!
In the next moment, a burst of sound entered his ears as gale-force winds shot out in all directions. The entire earth... no, the whole space began to shake. Air currents and visible shockwaves radiated outward, obliterating anything that stood in their path.
However, Lin Xuan was not concerned with the outcome. After launching a single move, he turned his head gracefully.
The process was swift and decisive. The female demon had no time to react as she focused on controlling the Deva Blade to sever the sword threads缠绕着她的剑丝。After all, this was her most powerful treasure, one she couldn’t afford to abandon.
