第两千三百五十四章 拔苗助长

cǐ shí yān chén yǐ rán sàn kāi ， nà qīng jiǎ gǔ mó de róng mào qīng xī de yìng rù yǎn lián ， é tóu chù yǒu yī hóng diǎn ， yī lǚ xiān xuè cóng shàng miàn liú tǎng xià lái 。～ suí mèng xiǎo shuō ，.com

此时烟尘已然散开，那青甲古魔的容貌清晰的映入眼帘，额头处有一红点，一缕鲜血从上面流淌下来。～随夢小說，.com

The smoke had already dissipated, revealing the ancient demon’s green armored face clearly. A red dot was on his forehead, and a thin stream of blood trickled down from it.

rán ér ， yě jǐn zhǐ yú cǐ ， cǐ mó yě bìng méi yǒu shòu gèng zhòng de shāng shì 。

然而，也仅止于此，此魔也并没有受更重的伤势。

However, that was all. The demon did not suffer any more severe injuries.

huàn jù huà shuō ， lín xuān kǔ xiū de mó líng zuān mì shù ， bù guò cā pò tā yì diǎn pí ， jǐn cǐ ér yǐ 。

换句话说，林轩苦修的魔灵钻秘术，不过擦破他一点皮，仅此而已。

In other words, Lin Xuan's painstakingly cultivated Secret Technique, Spirit钻秘术, only managed to scratch the surface; nothing more.

kàn qīng chǔ zhè yí mù ， lín xuān de liǎn sè ， dùn shí yīn yù dào jí chù ， zì jǐ de shén tōng ， zì jǐ xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， duì fāng gāng cái shén me fáng yù de fǎ bǎo dōu méi yǒu jì chū ， jū rán kě yǐ ……

看清楚这一幕，林轩的脸色，顿时阴郁到极处，自己的神通，自己心中有数，对方刚才什么防御的法宝都没有祭出，居然可以……

Upon seeing this scene clearly, Lin Xuan’s expression turned gloomy to an extreme. His own divine techniques were well-known to him, and his opponent had not even used any defensive treasures just now… yet he could still…

suī rán zhè qīng jiǎ gǔ mó suǒ xiū liàn de shén tōng ， běn lái jiù shì jiāng shēn tǐ qiáng huà de nà zhǒng ， rán hòu jiù zài qián yī kè ， tā míng míng hái méi yǒu zhè me kě pà de 。

虽然这青甲古魔所修炼的神通，本来就是将身体强化的那种，然后就在前一刻，他明明还没有这么可怕的。

Although the ancient demon's technique was originally designed to strengthen one’s body, it seemed that he had become much more formidable in this moment.

nán dào tā zhēn jiāng zì jǐ tí shēng dào dà xiū shì de jìng jiè le ？

难道他真将自己提升到大修士的境界了？

Could it be that he truly raised himself to the realm of Great Immortals?

lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， rán ér yī yǔ duì fāng shēn tǐ biǎo miàn jiē chù ， jiù bèi fǎn tán le huí lái ， gēn běn dé bù dé shén me jù tǐ de xiàn suǒ 。

林轩将神识放出，然而一与对方身体表面接触，就被反弹了回来，根本得不得什么具体的线索。

Lin Xuan released his divine sense. However, upon touching the demon’s surface, it rebounded back at him, yielding no specific clues.

kě wù ！

可恶！

Damn!

zhǐ jiàn qīng jiǎ gǔ mó huǎn huǎn tái qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì zhēng níng zhī sè 。

只见青甲古魔缓缓抬起头颅，脸上满是狰狞之色。

The ancient green-armored demon slowly lifted its head, a vicious expression on its face.

cǐ mì shù shì tā zài wú yì jiān suǒ de ， míng zì hěn shì qí tè ， jiào zuò “ bá miáo zhù zhǎng 。” gù míng sī yì ， néng zài hěn duǎn de shí jiān nèi dà fú dù tí shēng zì jǐ de shí lì 。

此秘术是他在无意间所得，名字很是奇特，叫做“拔苗助长。”顾名思义，能在很短的时间内大幅度提升自己的实力。

This Secret Technique was something he had stumbled upon unintentionally, with an unusual name: "Pulling Up Seedlings." As the name suggested, it could greatly enhance his strength in a short time.

tí shēng fú dù zhī dà ， yuǎn fēi yì bān jī fā 〖 tǐ 〗 nèi qián lì de mì shù huò shì dān yào kě bǐ 。

提升幅度之大，远非一般激发〖体〗内潜力的秘术或是丹药可比。

The enhancement was far beyond what ordinary techniques or pills to activate one's potential could achieve. However, despite this, Lin Xuan’s speed did not waver at all.

rán ér fù chū de dài jià yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， gēn běn bú shì yì bān xiū shì suǒ néng chéng shòu ， cǐ shù bù jǐn yào fēn shén qī yǐ shàng de cún zài cái néng shī zhǎn ， ér qiě yīn wèi cǐ fǎ shù tài guò nì tiān ， shī zhǎn guò hòu ， shī shù zhě xiū wèi huì kuī sǔn dào nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de dì bù ， rú wú yì wài ， huì diē luò liǎng gè jìng jiè zhī duō 。

然而付出的代价也非同小可，根本不是一般修士所能承受，此术不仅要分神期以上的存在才能施展，而且因为此法术太过逆天，施展过后，施术者修为会亏损到难以想象的地步，如无意外，会跌落两个境界之多。

Iron Feather Flying Scorpion Blade wasn’t an extraordinary treasure, but with thousands of blades flying towards the demon, any cultivator would be wary. Yet, before these blades reached their target, they seemed to pass right through it as if nothing had happened.

zhù yì ， zhè lǐ suǒ shuō de jìng jiè ， shì dà jìng jiè ， huàn jù huà shuō ， fēn shén qī de shī shù zhě ， shǐ yòng bá miáo zhù zhǎng yǐ hòu ， huì wēi fēng bā miàn ， kě děng xiào lì guò qù ， què huì diē luò dào lí hé qī 。

注意，这里所说的境界，是大境界，换句话说，分神期的施术者，使用拔苗助长以后，会威风八面，可等效力过去，却会跌落到离合期。

The sound of metal clashing filled Lin Xuan’s ears, but even so, his blade failed to scratch the demon’s surface.

xiàng xiū shì yīn wèi shòu shāng ， huò zhě zhǒng zhǒng qí tā de yuán gù ， jìng jiè dào tuì diē luò de qíng kuàng ， zài xiū xiān jiè bù zú wéi qí ， rán ér diē luò rú cǐ zhī duō ， kě jiù lìng rén chēng mù ， xiǎng yào chóng xīn huī fù ， nà gèng shì kùn nán chóng chóng 。

像修士因为受伤，或者种种其他的缘故，境界倒退跌落的情况，在修仙界不足为奇，然而跌落如此之多，可就令人瞠目，想要重新恢复，那更是困难重重。

In an instant, the ancient green-armored demon was already close enough.

jī běn shàng xī wàng shì bù dà de 。

基本上希望是不大的。

Lin Xuan was alarmed, but by now, he could not change tactics. A terrifying aura emanated from the demon as it raised its right hand and punched Lin Xuan.

yǐ qián tiān lán shuāng mó bú shì méi yǒu yù jiàn qiáng dí ， rán ér bù lùn chǔ jìng rú hé de jiān nán kùn kǔ ， zhè “ bá miáo zhù zhǎng ” de shén tōng ， tā què cóng lái yě bù céng yòng guò 。

以前天岚双魔不是没有遇见强敌，然而不论处境如何的艰难困苦，这“拔苗助长”的神通，他却从来也不曾用过。

Pain…

duì xiū xiān zhě ， jìng jiè yī cì diē luò liǎng gè zhī duō ， nà jiǎn zhí shì shēng bù rú sǐ le 。

对修仙者，境界一次跌落两个之多，那简直是生不如死了。

Before the fist reached him, a strange wave of energy spread out, tearing through space. Lin Xuan’s face turned pale.

kě xiàn zài ， tā gù bù dé ， ài qī zài zì jǐ qián miàn yǔn luò ， qīng jiǎ gǔ mó gēn suí ér qù de xīn dōu yǒu le ， jì méng sǐ zhì ， diē luò jìng jiè yòu suàn dé le shén me 。

可现在，他顾不得，爱妻在自己前面陨落，青甲古魔跟随而去的心都有了，既萌死志，跌落境界又算得了什么。

He had guessed that his opponent would be formidable after unleashing their power, but he did not expect it to be so extreme. Was this really a late-stage Divinity Realm cultivator?

fù chū rèn hé dài jià tā dōu bù zài hū 。

付出任何代价他都不在乎。

Was something wrong with the world!

zhǐ yào néng sòng yǎn qián de dí rén qù yīn cáo dì fǔ 。

只要能送眼前的敌人去阴曹地府。

But now was not the time for contemplation or analysis; Lin Xuan took a deep breath and countered with a punch.

hōng ！

轰！

Despite the suddenness of the attack, his strike was powerful. Thunderous sounds echoed in his ears as space distorted around him where his fist struck.

gǔn gǔn de mó qì fēng yōng ér chū ， qīng jiǎ gǔ mó de yǎn zhōng jīng guāng sì shè ， shā yǎ wú bǐ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ xiǎo jiā huo ， nǐ shā wǒ ài qī ， wǒ yào jiāng nǐ chōu hún liàn pò ， ràng nǐ hòu huǐ lái dào zhè ge shì jiè shàng de 。”

滚滚的魔气蜂拥而出，青甲古魔的眼中精光四射，沙哑无比的声音传入耳朵：“小家伙，你杀我爱妻，我要将你抽魂炼魄，让你后悔来到这个世界上的。”

Before long, two forces collided with lightning speed.

“ shì me ？”

“是么？”

Boom!

lín xuān lěng lěng de kāi kǒu le ， shuō shí huà ， tā xīn zhōng yǒu diǎn dǎ gǔ ， rán ér zhì shǎo qì shì shàng bù néng rèn shū ， fǒu zé ， hòu miàn de chǔ jìng huì yuè fā de jí nán kùn kǔ 。

林轩冷冷的开口了，说实话，他心中有点打鼓，然而至少气势上不能认输，否则，后面的处境会越发的极难困苦。

A loud explosion filled the air. This scene bore some resemblance to their first encounter, but the outcome was entirely different.

yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián miàn diǎn qù 。

右手抬起，林轩一指像前面点去。

Back then, they were evenly matched; now, Lin Xuan seemed like a kite without its string, being thrown away.

chī chī de pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， xuán fú zài shēn cè de tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo lì máng dà zuò ， xiàng zhe qián fāng 〖 jī 〗 shè 。

嗤嗤的破空声传入耳朵，悬浮在身侧的铁羽飞蝗刀厉芒大做，向着前方〖激〗射。

Pang… pang… pang…

xiān xià shǒu wéi qiáng ， hòu xià shǒu zāo yāng 。

先下手为强，后下手遭殃。

Lin Xuan flew for several miles, crashing through mountains and sending rocks falling down. Finally, he landed in a large pit on the ground.

lín xuān dòu fǎ jīng yàn jí wéi fēng fù ， zhè zhōng jiān de dào lǐ zì rán shì yì qīng èr chǔ 。

林轩斗法经验极为丰富，这中间的道理自然是一清二楚。

He was buried under countless stones and dirt.

suī rán duì fāng xiū wèi tí shēng de fú dù yǒu diǎn kě bù ， dàn lín xuān chū shǒu de sù dù ， nà shì yì diǎn yě bù hán hù 。

虽然对方修为提升的幅度有点可怖，但林轩出手的速度，那是一点也不含糊。

Zing!

tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo ， píng xīn lái shuō ， bìng bù suàn shén me liǎo bù qǐ de bǎo wù ， rán ér shù yǐ qiān jì de guī mó ， àn lǐ shuō ， què shì rèn hé xiū shì dōu bù gǎn wú shì de 。

铁羽飞蝗刀，平心来说，并不算什么了不起的宝物，然而数以千计的规模，按理说，却是任何修士都不敢无视的。

The ancient green-armored demon suddenly appeared around the edge of the pit, moving with incredible speed that defied description—neither teleportation nor instant movement, but it was still incredibly fast.

kě yǎn qián ， zhè guī zé bèi dǎ pò ， nà qīng jiǎ gǔ mó jiù shì shú shì wú dǔ 。

可眼前，这规则被打破，那青甲古魔就是熟视无睹。

It was formidable indeed. Lin Xuan probed his divine sense downward.

nà màn tiān fēi wǔ de lì rèn tā fǎng fú méi yǒu kàn jiàn shì de ， yìng dǐng zhe jiù fēi guò lái le 。

那漫天飞舞的利刃他仿佛没有看见似的，硬顶着就飞过来了。

But at this moment, something unexpected happened. A beam of light, a dozen feet wide, suddenly shot up into the air, accompanied by flames and sparks that spread outwards.

dīng dīng dāng dāng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo zhǎn luò ， rán ér què fǎng fú gé xuē náo yǎng shì de ， lián tā de yì diǎn yóu pí dōu méi yǒu cā pò 。

叮叮当当的声音传入耳朵，铁羽飞蝗刀斩落，然而却仿佛隔靴挠痒似的，连他的一点油皮都没有擦破。

The beam grew thicker as it filled the entire pit. Soon after, an aura of malevolence surged forth, and the images of the Four Symbols—Qing Long (Green Dragon), Bai Hu (White Tiger), Zhu Que (Red Phoenix), and Xuan Wu (Black Tortoise)—appeared from within…

zhuǎn shùn jiān ， nà qīng jiǎ gǔ mó yǐ pū dào le jìn chù 。

转瞬间，那青甲古魔已扑到了近处。

Seeing this, the ancient green-armored demon’s expression turned even more furious. This attack was familiar to him; in fact, he had a very vivid memory of it. If not for being caught by this technique, his wife would still be alive.

lín xuān dà jīng shī sè ， rán ér zhè shí hòu ， biàn zhāo yǐ jīng lái bù jí le ， nà gǔ mó de shēn shàng ， jīng rén de shā qì chōng tiān ér qǐ ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī quán jiù xiàng lín xuān dǎ le guò qù 。

林轩大惊失色，然而这时候，变招已经来不及了，那古魔的身上，惊人的杀气冲天而起，右手抬起，一拳就像林轩打了过去。

Now, "enemies meeting," his anger flared as he roared and lunged forward without waiting for the Four Symbols to approach.

cì āi ……，…

刺唉……，…

Roar!

quán wèi zhì ， yī gǔ yì yàng de bō dòng yǐ jīng zhuàn kāi ， kōng jiān zhòu rán bèi sī liè le kāi lái ， lín xuān de liǎn sè yǒu xiē fā bái 。

拳未至，一股异样的波动已经传开，空间骤然被撕裂了开来，林轩的脸色有些发白。

The White Tiger at the forefront opened its blood-red maw, but the ancient green-armored demon punched it directly in the mouth.

jǐn guǎn tā yǐ cāi dào duì fāng fā biāo hòu huì hěn qiáng ， dàn méi yǒu xiǎng dào ， huì qiáng dào rú cǐ lí pǔ ， nán dào zhēn shì fēn shén hòu qī de dà xiū shì me ？

尽管他已猜到对方发飙后会很强，但没有想到，会强到如此离谱，难道真是分神后期的大修士么？

The tiger’s eyes widened. But then, black demonic energy flashed past, and its entire body exploded.

yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ！

有没有搞错！

Despite its ferocity, this was not over. The Black Tortoise, already close, swung its tail like a snake to ensnare it. Then, turning around, its mouth glowed with green light, and the virtual image of the Black Tortoise solidified into reality.

rán ér lín xuān cǐ kè ， yǐ méi yǒu shí jiān qù sī kǎo yǔ fēn biàn le 。

然而林轩此刻，已没有时间去思考与分辨了。

Of course, they were not true divine beasts, but their power seemed superior to before. However, before the Black Tortoise could unleash its might, the ancient demon roared and stretched out both arms, causing the Black Tortoise’s body to shatter.

wéi yǒu shēn shēn hū xī ， yě shì fān shǒu yī quán yíng le shàng qù 。

唯有深深呼吸，也是翻手一拳迎了上去。

The Green Dragon, already close, showed signs of fear in its eyes. But like the Black Tortoise, it solidified from a virtual image into reality.

suī rán biàn qǐ cāng cù ， rán miàn lín xuān zhè yī jī ， yě shì yòng shàng le quán lì ， fēng léi zhī shēng zài ěr biān xiǎng guò ， quán jìn yán shēn zhī chù ， kōng jiān tóng yàng niǔ qū tā xiàn le 。

虽然变起仓促，然面林轩这一击，也是用上了全力，风雷之声在耳边响过，拳劲延伸之处，空间同样扭曲塌陷了。

However, this was useless; the ancient green-armored demon punched a large hole through its body.

shuō yě chí ， nà yě kuài ， liǎng gǔ jìn lì ， yǐ xùn léi bù jí yǎn ěr zhī shì ， hěn hěn zhuàng zài le yì qǐ 。

说也迟，那也快，两股劲力，以迅雷不及掩耳之势，狠狠撞在了一起。

Its armor provided no defense as the defenses of the Four Symbols were unparalleled among them. Lin Xuan’s face turned extremely grim. He had just escaped from the bottom of the pit and found his right arm strangely bent. The punch he received had broken it.

hōng ！

轰！

This was unprecedented for him. His physical strength far surpassed that of ordinary beasts, even able to withstand attacks from peers with magical treasures. But this punch… it could not bear such force.

jù xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhè yí mù ， yǔ liǎng rén dì yī cì jiāo shǒu de qíng jǐng pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù ， rán ér jié guǒ què shì wán quán bù tóng 。

巨响声传入耳朵，这一幕，与两人第一次交手的情景颇有几分相似之处，然而结果却是完全不同。

Lin Xuan’s expression turned even more horrified. If he were still at the Profound Dao Realm, fleeing would be understandable, but having already advanced and being chased like a cornered dog was absurd.

nà yī cì ， liǎng rén shì jūn lì dí ， zhè yī cì ， lín xuān què fǎng fú duàn xiàn de fēng zhēng yì bān ， bèi hěn hěn de pāo fēi le chū qù 。

那一次，两人势均力敌，这一次，林轩却仿佛断线的风筝一般，被狠狠的抛飞了出去。

Firstly, his opponent was indeed formidable, but just now, they had not been so powerful; in other words, he used some unknown Secret Technique to greatly enhance his strength for a short time. This was not the right path, with a limited duration. As long as he persisted…

pēng pēng pēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān zhè yī fēi ， zú zú yǒu shù shí lǐ ， yán tú zhuàng chuān le shù zuò shān fēng ， zhǐ tīng wú suì shí bù tíng de wǎng xià luò 。

嘭嘭嘭的声音传入耳朵，林轩这一飞，足足有数十里，沿途撞穿了数座山峰，只听毋碎石不停的往下落。

When that period ended, the side effects would manifest. The stronger the demon became now, the greater those side effects would be. At that point, the balance of power would surely reverse.

zuì hòu ， dì biǎo bèi zá chū le yí gè dà kēng 。

最后，地表被砸出了一个大坑。

With this thought, Lin Xuan regained his composure. In such a situation, as long as he delayed and persisted, he would certainly regain an opportunity to turn the tide.
