不过话虽如此，林轩依旧不敢有分毫的大意，毕竟对方实力摆在那里，袖袍一拂，又是一道法诀从指掌间激乜射而出，铁羽飞蝗刀厉芒大做，狠狠的劈刺像对方的头颅。夢
However, despite this, Lin Xuan still couldn't afford to be careless. After all, the other party's strength was there for everyone to see. With a wave of his sleeves, another spell shot out from his fingers, and the Iron Feather Flying Locust Blade emitted a fierce light as it slashed at the ancient green-armored demon's head.
suī rán lín xuān xīn zhōng yě qīng chǔ ， cǐ bǎo wù duì qīng jiǎ gǔ mó gēn běn méi yǒu tài dà de yòng tú ， bù guò jǐn jǐn shì tuō yán yī xià hái shì méi yǒu yā lì de 。
虽然林轩心中也清楚，此宝物对青甲古魔根本没有太大的用途，不过仅仅是拖延一下还是没有压力的。
Although Lin Xuan knew in his heart that this treasure would be of little use against the ancient green-armored demon, he could still stall for some time without much pressure.
zhǐ wén “ sōu sōu ” shēng dà zuò ， tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo zhè yī cì méi yǒu màn tiān fēi wǔ ， ér shì zhěng zhěng qí qí de pái liè chéng le yī piàn guāng mù 。
只闻“嗖嗖”声大做，铁羽飞蝗刀这一次没有漫天飞舞，而是整整齐齐的排列成了一片光幕。
"Whizz whizz," the sound echoed. This time, instead of flying around like before, the Iron Feather Flying Locust Blade formed a neat light screen.
sēn hán de shā qì cóng qí biǎo miàn pèi rán ér chū ， qì xiàng wàn qiān de yā xiàng le qīng jiǎ gǔ mó 。
森寒的杀气从其表面沛然而出，气象万千的压向了青甲古魔。
A chilling killing aura poured out from its surface and pressed down on the ancient green-armored demon.
ér lín xuān zài qū dòng cǐ bǎo hòu yě méi yǒu xián zhe 。
而林轩在驱动此宝后也没有闲着。
After driving this treasure into action, Lin Xuan wasn't idle either. He raised his right hand and did a phoenix nod gesture.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， zuò le yí gè fèng diǎn tóu de dòng zuò 。
右手抬起，做了一个凤点头的动作。
The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword instantly appeared in front of him as he retreated several thousand feet away.
yuán běn pán xuán zài tóu dǐng de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn dùn shí rú zhǎng jīng xī shuǐ yì bān ， dào fēi huí le shēn qián ， suí hòu wǎng zhōng jiān yī jù ， jiǔ duǒ lián huā”… bù ， zhè cì shì yī duǒ lián huā chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
原本盘旋在头顶的九宫须臾剑顿时如长鲸吸水一般，倒飞回了身前，随后往中间一聚，九朵莲huā”…不，这次是一朵莲huā出现在了视线里。
Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was no ordinary weapon; the fine threads were exceptionally tough. However, they still seemed like paper-thin, barely slowing down the demon's momentum. Fortunately, Lin Xuan had moved quickly enough to avoid being scratched.
fāng xiāng sì yì ， nà huā bàn màn màn zhàn fàng kāi 。
芳香四溢，那huā瓣慢慢绽放开。
The ancient green-armored demon didn't give up after missing his first attack and flashed over again toward Lin Xuan.
qīng jiǎ gǔ mó dāng rán bú huì ràng lín xuān cóng róng shī zhǎn 。
青甲古魔当然不会让林轩从容施展。
Lin Xuan sneered at this, knowing that he couldn't defeat him in a fight but also realizing that the other party's chances of hitting him were as good as dreaming. He was confident in Nine Palaces Micro-step.
yǎn zhōng lì sè yī xiǎn ， kǒu zhōng fā chū rú jīn shǔ mó cā bān de cì ěr jiān míng ， hún shēn shàng xià mó qì fān yǒng ， suí hòu nà xiē mó qì què xùn sù jù hé ， yí gè gè quán tou dà xiǎo de mó wén chū xiàn zài shì xiàn zhōng ， suí hòu nà xiē fú wén rú yǒu shēng mìng yì bān ， dào fēi huí le qīng jiǎ gǔ mó de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn 。
眼中厉色一显，口中发出如金属摩擦般的刺耳尖鸣，浑身上下魔气翻涌，随后那些魔气却迅速聚合，一个个拳头大小的魔文出现在视线中，随后那些符文如有生命一般，倒飞回了青甲古魔的身体表面。
However, to his surprise, the air around them suddenly became stagnant, and Nine Palaces Micro-step didn't work. "Damn it, this old guy can even break away from instantaneous teleportation."
pī lǐ pā lā ， bào liè shēng bù duàn ， suí hòu cǐ mó hún shēn shàng xià ， jìng rán zhǎng chū le cháng duǎn bù yī de jiān cì ， cóng tóu dào jiǎo ， jiē bèi fù gài ， kàn shàng qù jiù rú tóng chuán shuō zhōng de xiū luó zhàn jiǎ yì bān 。
噼里啪啦，爆裂声不断，随后此魔浑身上下，竟然长出了长短不一的尖刺，从头到脚，皆被覆盖，看上去就如同传说中的修罗战甲一般。
Lin Xuan was both shocked and angry but didn't think much of it as he enveloped himself in a dazzling green light and dodged the attack.
suí hòu cǐ mó tái qǐ tóu lú ， yǎn jīng zhōng de xiōng máng yuè fā hài rén le 。
随后此魔抬起头颅，眼睛中的凶芒越发骇人了。
"Wham!"
lín xuān mù dèng kǒu dāi ， ér cǐ miào gēn běn bù děng tā fǎn yìng guò lái ， jiù yī shēng kuáng xiào ， shēn tǐ yī juàn ， jiāng zì jǐ biàn de rú tóng pí qiú yì bān ， suí hòu hěn hěn de cháo zhe lín xuān zhuàng le guò lái 。
林轩目瞪口呆，而此庙根本不等他反应过来，就一声狂笑，身体一卷，将自己变的如同皮球一般，随后狠狠的朝着林轩撞了过来。
The ball of energy transformed into an ancient green-armored demon passed by Lin Xuan, crashing into the ground, creating a large crater. "Little guy, your luck won’t be so good next time."
jǐn guǎn liǎng rén zhī jiān ， hái liè zhe tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo suǒ bù chéng le guāng mù ， rán ér cǐ mó gēn běn jiù shì ruò wú dǔ 。
尽管两人之间，还列着铁羽飞蝗刀所布成了光幕，然而此魔根本就视若无睹。
The ancient green-armored demon's voice echoed in his ears as he emerged from the crater.
hōng ！
轰！
Lin Xuan was furious. This old guy really thought he was an advanced spirit realm cultivator?
yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà dāo mù jìng rán cuī kū lā xiǔ bān de suì liè diào le 。
一声巨响传入耳朵，那刀幕竟然摧枯拉朽般的碎裂掉了。
What arrogance!
bù cuò ， shì suì liè ， tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo yǒu shù qiān zhī duō ， rán ér cǐ kè ， tā zhè yī zhuàng zhī wēi ， què ràng qī chéng yǐ shàng de fēi dāo dōu huà wèi le xū wú 。
不错，是碎裂，铁羽飞蝗刀有数千之多，然而此刻，他这一撞之威，却让七成以上的飞刀都化为了虚无。
Lin Xuan had originally thought that entering the spirit realm would allow him to finally stand tall, but reality was far different.
tā shēn shàng de jiān cì yǐ jí kuài de sù dù zhèn dòng ， zhè kě pà de gǔ mó ， jìng rán jiāng zì jǐ huà wèi le yī wú jiān bù cuī de bǎo wù 。
他身上的尖刺以极快的速度震动，这可怕的古魔，竟然将自己化为了一无坚不摧的宝物。
The repeated dangers made Lin Xuan extremely angry. He decided to take a risk and began swinging his hands like a butterfly, emitting whistling sounds as he summoned Nine Palaces Momentary Sword in front of him. Each sword emitted a dazzling light, and the sword screen became even more brilliant.
qí lái shì měng è ， lín xuān yě bù gǎn zhí yīng qí fēng 。
其来势猛恶，林轩也不敢直缨其锋。
Lin Xuan opened his mouth and spat out a fireball. The five-colored glass ball sped towards the sword screen with great speed.
xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， zhǐ wén sōu sōu shēng dà zuò ， wú shù huǒ hóng sè de wǎng sī cóng nà duǒ jù dà de lián huā zhōng jī miē shè ér chū 。
袖袍一拂，一道法诀打出，只闻嗖嗖声大做，无数火红色的往丝从那朵巨大的莲huā中激乜射而出。
The flames roared as they transformed from multiple colors into deep blue. Just as this action ended, an earth-shattering explosion echoed in their ears. The ancient green-armored demon fiercely collided with the sword screen. Despite the familiar scene, Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was a treasure Lin Xuan had spent countless efforts to create, and its power far surpassed that of Iron Feather Flying Locust Blade.
hù xiāng jiāo zhī ， xiàng zhe qīng jiǎ gǔ mó chán rào ér qù 。
互相交织，向着青甲古魔缠绕而去。
The ancient green-armored demon was blocked, but the Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire began to take effect. Lin Xuan purposefully converted all its attributes into extreme coldness. "Whizz," a layer of ice armor appeared on the demon's surface.
tóng shí lín xuān shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yǐ jiāng jiǔ tiān wēi bù shī zhǎn kāi ， tuì bì dào shù qiān zhàng zhī wài 。
同时林轩身形一闪，已将九天微步施展开，退避到数千丈之外。
The ancient green-armored demon's face showed shock before it was replaced by a sneer: "Hmph, mere trickery, you think you can freeze this demon? You're too delusional."
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， nà xiē xì sī yě shì jiān rèn yì cháng de ， rán ér cǐ kè ， yī jiù shì yǒu rú zhǐ hú ， zhǐ shì shāo wēi ràng duì fāng de lái shì zǔ le yī zǔ ， hái hǎo lín xuān duǒ dé xùn sù ， fǒu zé bù sǐ yě huì bèi tuō céng pí de 。
九宫须臾剑非同小可，那些细丝也是坚韧异常的，然而此刻，依旧是有如纸糊，只是稍微让对方的来势阻了一阻，还好林轩躲得迅速，否则不死也会被脱层皮的。
With a loud roar, the sound of buzzing filled their ears as the bone spines on its body trembled rapidly. The ice armor that had formed began to shatter.
duì fāng yī jī bù zhōng 。
对方一击不中。
Seeing the old demon about to break free, Lin Xuan didn't waste any time and quickly pointed his right hand forward, pouring all his mana into Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire.
zì rán bú huì yǒu fàng qì yī shuō ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， zài cì xiàng lín xuān fēi le guò lái 。
自然不会有放弃一说，身形一闪，再次像林轩飞了过来。
With the support of his master's mana, the demonic flames reached their peak power. The coldness rushed towards the ancient green-armored demon, repairing the shattered ice armor once more.
lín xuān jiàn le ， zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī lěng xiào zhī sè ， dǎ zì jǐ què shí dǎ bù guò ， bù guò duì fāng xiǎng yào jī zhòng zì jǐ yě yǔ bái rì zuò mèng chà bu duō 。
林轩见了，嘴角边露出一丝冷笑之色，打自己确实打不过，不过对方想要击中自己也与白日做梦差不多。
"Hmph, trying to die, little spirit realm中期 guy, do you really want to compete with this Demon Lord in mana?"
duì jiǔ tiān wēi bù de xuán miào tā xìn xīn shí zú 。
对九天微步的玄妙他信心十足。
The ancient green-armored demon snarled as its bone spines trembled rapidly again. Lin Xuan ignored it and continued pouring his mana into Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire.
zhēn xiǎng yào gù jì zhòng shī ， rán ér zhè yī cì ， lín xuān fā xiàn zhōu wéi de kōng qì què sà rán biàn dé níng zhì ， jiǔ tiān wēi bù jū rán méi yǒu xiào guǒ 。
真想要故技重施，然而这一次，林轩发现周围的空气却飒然变得凝滞，九天微步居然没有效果。
At this point, the battle seemed to reach a delicate balance. The ice armor kept forming but was quickly broken by the demon. With each cycle, both sides depleted their mana significantly.
“ kě wù ， zhè lǎo jiā huǒ hái néng jiāng shùn yí de shén tōng pò chú 。”
“可恶，这老家伙还能将瞬移的神通破除。”
In just an instant, Lin Xuan's face turned pale as his internal mana reserves were nearly exhausted.
lín xuān shì yòu jīng yòu nù ， yě bù duō xiǎng ， hún shēn bāo guǒ zhe yào yǎn de qīng máng ， cháo zhe xié cì lǐ jī miē shè ， xiǎn zhī yòu xiǎn de jiāng zhè yī jī duǒ guò qù le 。
林轩是又惊又怒，也不多想，浑身包裹着耀眼的青芒，朝着斜刺里激乜射，险之又险的将这一击躲过去了。
The ancient green-armored demon sneered, "This kid is asking for it. Once his mana runs out, he'll be a fish on a chopping board."
hōng ！
轰！
While this was correct in theory, Lin Xuan wasn't a novice cultivator; he wouldn't make such a mistake. He waved his sleeves and revealed a small glass bottle that glowed like jade. After uncorking it, the fragrance filled the air.
qīng jiǎ gǔ mó suǒ huà de yuán qiú cóng tā shēn biān cā guò ， zhí jiē zhuàng rù dà dì zhī zhōng ， chén tǔ fēi yáng ， yí gè dà kēng xiǎn xiàn ér chū 。
青甲古魔所化的圆球从他身边擦过，直接撞入大地之中，尘土飞扬，一个大坑显现而出。
Lin Xuan raised his head and dripped some ten-thousand-year-old divine milk into his mouth.
“ xiǎo jiā huo ， xià yī cì yùn qì jiù bú huì zhè me hǎo le 。”
“小家伙，下一次运气就不会这么好了。”
Instantly, his dantian felt warm as his nearly depleted mana was replenished in an instant.
qīng jiǎ gǔ mó de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， huà yīn wèi luò ， tā yǐ jīng cóng dà kēng zhōng fēi chū lái le 。
青甲古魔的声音传入耳朵，话音未落，他已经从大坑中飞出来了。
"No, impossible..."
lín xuān yě bèi dǎ chū le zhēn huǒ 。
林轩也被打出了真火。
The ancient green-armored demon was both shocked and angry. He couldn't believe that the other party's mana had been completely restored so quickly. Was it ten-thousand-year-old divine milk?
zhè lǎo jiā huǒ ， hái zhēn dāng zì jǐ shì fēn shén hòu qī de dà xiū shì le ？
这老家伙，还真当自己是分神后期的大修士了？
No... It wasn’t possible. Even if it were ten-thousand-year-old divine milk, it would only be effective for cultivators below the Profound Realm. For their high-level existence, a single drop wouldn't make much difference.
yǒu shén me hǎo xiāo zhāng de ！
有什么好嚣张的！
Unless... Unless it was the legendary琼浆玉露.
yuán běn lín xuān yǐ wéi zì jǐ jìn jiē fēn shén qī ， cóng cǐ kě yǐ yáng méi tǔ qì ， zuò mèng yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào ， huì shì xiàn zài zhè zhǒng jié guǒ 。
原本林轩以为自己进阶分神期，从此可以扬眉吐气，做梦也没有想到，会是现在这种结果。
Even for spirit realm cultivators, a single drop of琼浆玉露could restore depleted mana. However, this was a legendary divine substance that only occasionally appeared and fell into the hands of great cultivators at the Tribulation Transcendence stage. A spirit realm cultivator trying to consume it would be as delusional as dreaming.
yī cì cì de xiǎn jìng ， ràng lín xuān nù jí 。
一次次的险境，让林轩怒极。
But despite his disbelief, Lin Xuan's mana had indeed been restored. Denying it wouldn't help. The ancient green-armored demon's face turned pale with realization that he was trapped in the young man’s trap.
tóu nǎo yī rè ， pīn le 。
头脑一热，拼了。
However, knowing this didn’t matter now; it was too late to regret. He refused to give up, believing that even if Lin Xuan had somehow obtained some琼浆玉露, there wouldn't be much of it, and he still had a chance to win.
zhǐ jiàn tā shuāng shǒu rú chuān huā hú dié yì bān de huī wǔ ， chī chī de pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yī shǎn ， yǐ lái dào le shēn qián ， měi yī bǐng jiàn ， jiē shì líng guāng yào yǎn ， suǒ bù chéng de jiàn mù ， nà gèng jiào cuǐ càn 。
只见他双手如穿huā蝴蝶一般的挥舞，嗤嗤的破空声传入耳朵，九宫须臾剑一闪，已来到了身前，每一柄剑，皆是灵光耀眼，所布成的剑幕，那更叫璀璨。
But time proved his analysis wrong. From the start, he had underestimated Lin Xuan.
However, despite this, Lin Xuan still couldn't afford to be careless. After all, the other party's strength was there for everyone to see. With a wave of his sleeves, another spell shot out from his fingers, and the Iron Feather Flying Locust Blade emitted a fierce light as it slashed at the ancient green-armored demon's head.
Although Lin Xuan knew in his heart that this treasure would be of little use against the ancient green-armored demon, he could still stall for some time without much pressure.
"Whizz whizz," the sound echoed. This time, instead of flying around like before, the Iron Feather Flying Locust Blade formed a neat light screen.
A chilling killing aura poured out from its surface and pressed down on the ancient green-armored demon.
After driving this treasure into action, Lin Xuan wasn't idle either. He raised his right hand and did a phoenix nod gesture.
The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword instantly appeared in front of him as he retreated several thousand feet away.
Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was no ordinary weapon; the fine threads were exceptionally tough. However, they still seemed like paper-thin, barely slowing down the demon's momentum. Fortunately, Lin Xuan had moved quickly enough to avoid being scratched.
The ancient green-armored demon didn't give up after missing his first attack and flashed over again toward Lin Xuan.
