第两千三百八十八章 虚影魔像

yī lián chuàn de biàn gù ， ràng mù guān lǎo zhě de liǎn shàng mǎn shì nù róng ， shuāng shǒu yī wò ， yī gǔ jīng rén zhī jí de shā qì cóng tā bèi hòu mí sàn ér chū 。? suí mèng xiǎo shuō ?,.com

一连串的变故，让木冠老者的脸上满是怒容，双手一握，一股惊人之极的煞气从他背后弥散而出。?随夢小說?,.com

A series of unexpected events left Elder Wood Crown's face contorted with anger. He clenched his hands, and a shocking煞气 (evil aura) spread from behind him.

suí hòu nà xiē shā qì wǎng zhōng jiān yī jù ， qī lì de guài hǒu chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ ， yī dào wǔ liù zhàng gāo de jù dà huàn yǐng píng kōng ér qǐ 。

随后那些煞气往中间一聚，凄厉的怪吼传入耳朵里，一道五六丈高的巨大幻影凭空而起。

The evil aura gathered in the center, and an eerie howl echoed as a massive illusory figure rose up.

cǐ huàn yǐng tōng tǐ hēi guāng méng méng ， miàn mù zhēng níng xiōng è ， kuò kǒu liáo yá ， liǎng zhǐ yǎn jīng rú tóng tóng líng bān nà me dà ， gāng yī xiǎn xiàn ér chū ， lì kè yòu shǒu wēi tái ， tí qǐ cù tán dà de quán tou ， jìng duì zhǔn shēn qián ， yáo yáo liǎng quán dǎ le guò lái 。

此幻影通体黑光蒙蒙，面目狰狞凶恶，阔口獠牙，两只眼睛如同铜铃般那么大，刚一显现而出，立刻右手微抬，提起醋坛大的拳头，竟对准身前，遥遥两拳打了过来。

This figure was shrouded in black light, its face twisted into a grotesque expression of ferocity. It had wide, fanged jaws and eyes like copper bells. As soon as it appeared, it raised its right hand to strike with a fist the size of a vinegar jar, aiming at the front.

hōng lōng lóng de jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， quán fēng suǒ guò zhī chù ， kōng jiān yǒu yī quān quān de bō wén dàng yàng ér guò ， fēn shén jí bié de cún zài yī jī ， nà dàng zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， gèng hé kuàng duì fāng cǐ kè ， shǐ yòng de shì fǎ xiàng mì shù 。

轰隆隆的巨响传入耳朵，拳风所过之处，空间有一圈圈的波纹荡漾而过，分神级别的存在一击，那当真是非同小可，更何况对方此刻，使用的是法相秘术。

The rumbling sound filled his ears as the space around was disturbed by ripples from the punches. A Presence at the Diversion stage could not be underestimated, especially when using secret techniques.

lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， zhè liǎng quán zhèng shì duì zhe qí dǎ guò lái de 。

林轩瞳孔微缩，这两拳正是对着其打过来的。

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted; these were the exact punches aimed at him. If he had wanted to show off his strength, such an attack would have been nothing to him. But Lin Xuan was not genuinely helping Elder Scorpion Tail; while they were allies, no fool would give their all.

ruò shì zì jǐ yuàn yì xiǎn lù shí lì ， zhè yàng de gōng jī ， lín xuān zì rán shì bù fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， rán ér cǐ kè ， lín xuān bìng bú shì zhēn xīn bāng zhù xiē wěi shàng rén lái zhe 。

若是自己愿意显露实力，这样的攻击，林轩自然是不放在眼里，然而此刻，林轩并不是真心帮助蝎尾上人来着。

Seeing the other's fierce approach, Lin Xuan made no attempt to block it but darted away to one side.

yǔ tā lián shǒu bù jiǎ ， dàn shǎ guā cái huì quán lì yǐ fù a ！

与他联手不假，但傻瓜才会全力以赴啊！

Two ancient demons standing in front of him crumbled as he dodged, their bones breaking and joints dislocating. They were in for a miserable fate as substitutes.

jiàn duì fāng lái shì měng è ， lín xuān háo wú yìng jiē de yì tú ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yǐ cháo zhe xié cì lǐ tuì xiàng yī biān 。

见对方来势猛恶，林轩毫无硬接的意图，身形一闪，已朝着斜刺里退像一边。

Meanwhile, Elder Scorpion Tail had already taken action. Alone, he couldn't defeat Old Demon Jia, but now with someone willing to help, this was an excellent opportunity. He wouldn't let it slip away; today's conflict would not be resolved anyway.

pēng pēng liǎng shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， kě lián yòng gāng zhàn zài lín xuān shēn qián de liǎng míng gǔ mó bèi dǎ le gè jīn duàn gǔ zhé ， zhè tì sǐ guǐ dāng dé shì zài biē qū bù guò 。

砰砰两声音传入耳朵，可怜用刚站在林轩身前的两名古魔被打了个筋断骨折，这替死鬼当得是再憋屈不过。

With a loud roar, his newly worn wedding attire split apart, replaced by a layer of grayish-brown demon light enveloping him.

ér lìng yī biān ， xiē wěi shàng rén yǐ dòng shǒu le ， tā yí gè rén ， zì rán dǎ jiǎ lǎo mó bù guò ， dàn rú jīn ， què yǒu zhè me yí gè shǎ mào yuàn yì chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， rú cǐ hǎo de jī huì ， tā qǐ huì fàng guò ， fǎn zhèng jīn tiān yě wú fǎ liǎo jú ， bù rú chèn zhe yǒu rén xiāng zhù ， yǔ zhè bù bù jǐn bī de jiǎ lǎo mó pīn le 。

而另一边，蝎尾上人已动手了，他一个人，自然打贾老魔不过，但如今，却有这么一个傻帽愿意出手相助，如此好的机会，他岂会放过，反正今天也无法了局，不如趁着有人相助，与这步步紧逼的贾老魔拼了。

Crackling sounds filled the air as his body transformed dramatically. Below his waist, his legs vanished, and in their place appeared the body of a scorpion. Its appearance was ghastly, especially its tail, which shimmered with an eerie glow. A sweet scent wafted from it—sure enough, it contained剧毒 (poison).

zhǐ wén tā yī shēng dà hē ， shēn shàng suǒ chuān de xīn láng páo fú zhòu rán sì fēn wǔ liè diào le ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī céng huī hè sè de mó guāng mí sàn ér chū ， jiāng tā hún shēn shàng xià bāo guǒ 。

只闻他一声大喝，身上所穿的新郎袍服骤然四分五裂掉了，取而代之的是一层灰褐色的魔光弥散而出，将他浑身上下包裹。

Elder Scorpion Tail's title wasn't just a whimsical name; his current form was perfect for the occasion. Not only had he transformed his legs into scorpion tails, but his upper body also showed grayish-brown scales.

suí hòu ， pī lǐ pā lā zhī shēng dà zuò ， cǐ lǎo mó de shēn tǐ ， zhòu rán fā shēng le biàn huà ， yāo bù yǐ xià ， shuāng tuǐ zhòu rán xiāo shī ， suí jí yī xiē zi de shēn qū ， fú xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。

随后，噼里啪啦之声大做，此老魔的身体，骤然发生了变化，腰部以下，双腿骤然消失，随即一蝎子的身躯，浮现在视线里。

Though not fully covering him, these scales protected vital areas, while strange demonic patterns appeared elsewhere.

zhēng níng xié è ， yóu qí shì nà xiē zi de wěi ba ， shǎn shuò zhe lìng rén xīn jì de guāng zé ， yī gǔ xiāng tián de qì xī mí sàn ér chū ， bú yòng shuō ， nà wěi zhēn shàng yùn hán yǒu jù dú 。

狰狞邪恶，尤其是那蝎子的尾巴，闪烁着令人心悸的光泽，一股香甜的气息弥散而出，不用说，那尾针上蕴含有剧毒。

In an instant, Elder Scorpion Tail's presence seemed to have doubled in power.

xiē wěi shàng rén de chēng hào ， kě bú shì gǔ mó men hú luàn chēng hū ， yǎn qián de xíng xiàng ， nà shì zài yìng jǐng bù guò ， ér qiě tā bù jǐn jǐn shì shuāng tuǐ biàn chéng le xiē zi de wěi ba ， shàng bàn shēn ， yě fú xiàn chū nà zhǒng huī hè sè de lín jiǎ 。

蝎尾上人的称号，可不是古魔们胡乱称呼，眼前的形象，那是再应景不过，而且他不仅仅是双腿变成了蝎子的尾巴，上半身，也浮现出那种灰褐色的鳞甲。

Soon, the two ancient demons were locked in combat, with thunderous explosions and residual force spreading outward. Any demon hit by this would suffer broken bones or worse, even if they didn't die outright.

suī rán bú shì bāo guǒ zhù quán shēn de nà zhǒng ， dàn xiōng kǒu ， jǐng bù děng yào hài wèi zhì ， dōu yǒu fáng hù ， qí tā dì fāng ， zé yǒu guǐ yì de mó wén fú xiàn ér chū ”，“。

虽然不是包裹住全身的那种，但胸口，颈部等要害位置，都有防护，其他地方，则有诡异的魔纹浮现而出”，“。

But for the lesser demons, this was a gift from heaven. Most seized the opportunity to escape the deadly wedding feast.

yī shí jiān ， xiē wěi shàng rén de qì shì ， jìng rán bǐ gāng gāng bào zēng le bèi xǔ 。

一时间，蝎尾上人的气势，竟然比刚冈暴增了倍许。

Lin Xuan's gaze swept over the scene. While the two ancient demons fought fiercely, Elder Scorpion Tail was clearly on the defensive. Meanwhile, that massive illusory figure blocked his path. Elder Wood Crown had indeed planned well, aiming to defeat them one by one.

hěn kuài ， liǎng gè lǎo mó zhàn zài le yì qǐ ， hōng lōng lóng bào liè shēng dà zuò ， gè zhǒng gāng fēng ， yú bō xiàng zhe sì zhōu mí sàn ér chū ， fán shì bèi sǎo dào de gǔ mó ， wú bù jīn duàn gǔ zhé ， jí shǐ méi yǒu yǔn luò ， zhòng shāng yě shì nán miǎn de 。

很快，两个老魔战在了一起，轰隆隆爆裂声大做，各种罡风，余波向着四周弥散而出，凡是被扫到的古魔，无不筋断骨折，即使没有陨落，重伤也是难免的。

But how could Lin Xuan let him succeed?

chéng mén shī huǒ yāng jí chí yú ， fēn shén qī de dòu fǎ ， kě bú shì tā men néng gòu chā shǒu cān yù 。

城门失火殃及池鱼，分神期的斗法，可不是他们能够插手参与。

Everything should follow his carefully crafted script.

bù guò ， fán shì yǒu lì jiù yǒu bì ， rú jīn dà zhàn jì qǐ ， zì rán méi yǒu rén hái gù dé shàng tā men zhè xiē xiǎo xiā mǐ ， cǐ shí bù zǒu ， gèng dài hé shí 。

不过，凡事有利就有弊，如今大战既起，自然没有人还顾得上他们这些小虾米，此时不走，更待何时。

A smile played on Lin Xuan's face as he flicked a glance of strange light into the air. He summoned the Celestial Demon Foe from his palm.

chú le shǎo shù bèi juǎn jìn qù de gǔ mó ， dà bù fèn dǎo shì zhuā zhù zhè tiān cì liáng jī ， cóng zhè yào mìng de hūn yàn shàng liū zhī dà jí 。

除了少数被卷进去的古魔，大部分倒是抓住这天赐良机，从这要命的婚宴上溜之大吉。

It wasn't yet time for full exposure, so he continued to hide his true strength. But even without his treasures, the Celestial Demon Foe was formidable.

lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò ， biǎo miàn shàng ， liǎng míng lǎo mó dǎ dé shì rú huǒ rú tú ， qí shí xiē wěi shàng rén wán quán chǔ yú xià fēng ， bù guò shì kǔ kǔ zhī chēng bà le 。

林轩目光扫过，表面上，两名老魔打得是如火如荼，其实蝎尾上人完全处于下风，不过是苦苦支撑罢了。

A black flash revealed a streak of darkness slicing toward the illusory figure with overwhelming force.

ér zì jǐ de miàn qián ， zé bèi nà jù dà de fǎ xiàng lán zhù ， kàn lái mù guān lǎo zhě ， rú yì suàn pán dǎ dé yě shì bù cuò ， xiǎng yào gè gè jī pò 。

而自己的面前，则被那巨大的法相拦住，看来木冠老者，如意算盘打得也是不错，想要各个击破。

The illusory figure didn't flinch; it clapped its hands and struck out with two punches.

rán ér lín xuān zěn me kě néng ràng tā rú yuàn ne ？

然而林轩怎么可能让他如愿呢？

But Lin Xuan's strike was merely to lure. He vanished from his spot, appearing just over two meters away from the illusory figure.

yī qiè dōu yīng gāi àn zhào zì jǐ shè jì de jù běn lái zǒu 。

一切都应该按照自己设计的剧本来走。

Nine Heaven Microsteps!

lín xuān liǎn shàng liú lù chū yī sī xiào róng ， yǎn zhōng yì máng shǎn guò ， shēn xíng yī dòng ， tiān guǐ fǔ yǐ chū xiàn zài tā de zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。

林轩脸上流露出一丝笑容，眼中异芒闪过，身形一动，天鬼斧已出现在他的掌心之中。

He raised his right hand, summoning the Celestial Demon Foe, and cast a spell toward it.

rú jīn hái bú dào tú qióng bǐ xiàn de yī kè ， gù ér lín xuān yī jiù shì zài cáng zhuō ， bìng méi yǒu jì chū zì jǐ de bǎo wù ， bù guò tiān guǐ fǔ de wēi lì ， yī jiù shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。

如今还不到图穷匕见的一刻，故而林轩依旧是在藏拙，并没有祭出自己的宝物，不过天鬼斧的威力，依旧是非同小可。

A crackling sound echoed as demon light surged, enlarging the Celestial Demon Foe tenfold. It became a massive axe with black lightning swirling around its surface, slicing at the illusory figure's head.

zhǐ jiàn hēi máng yī shǎn ， yìng rù yǎn lián de shì yī dào hēi sè de pǐ liàn ， yǐ léi tíng wàn jūn zhī shì ， xiàng zhe qián fāng de xū yǐng zhǎn guò qù le 。

只见黑芒一闪，映入眼帘的是一道黑色的匹练，以雷霆万钧之势，向着前方的虚影斩过去了。

The illusory figure was shocked, but it couldn't retreat now. Instead of surrendering, it raised both hands to form a shield from the chaotic energy.

nà fǎ xiàng bìng bù wèi jù ， shuāng shǒu yī hé ， pēng pēng liǎng quán cháo zhe qián miàn jī chū 。

那法相并不畏惧，双手一合，嘭嘭两拳朝着前面击出。

Though this shield appeared spontaneously, its surface was marked by demonic patterns, making it heavy and solid with formidable defensive capabilities.

rán ér lín xuān zhè yī jī ， zhǐ shì yòu dí 。

然而林轩这一击，只是诱敌。

Bam!

shēn xíng yī shǎn ， jiù cóng yuán dì xiāo shī le zōng jì 。

身形一闪，就从原地消失了踪迹。

The enlarged Celestial Demon Foe struck hard. The shield showed cracks but held firm. The illusory figure seemed relieved, only to be disappointed as Lin Xuan took advantage of his opponent's full defense to close in.

jiǔ tiān wēi bù ！

九天微步！

He raised his right hand, creating a vortex that attracted all the demon energy around him before striking at the illusory figure’s abdomen with a punch.

zài cì chū xiàn shí ， jù lí nà xū yǐng ， yǐ bù guò liǎng zhàng yǒu yú ， suí hòu lín xuān yòu shǒu yī yáng ， jiāng tiān guǐ fǔ pāo qǐ ， yī dào fǎ jué cháo zhe qián miàn dǎ le guò qù 。

再次出现时，距离那虚影，已不过两丈有余，随后林轩右手一扬，将天鬼斧抛起，一道法诀朝着前面打了过去。

This punch looked ordinary but was powerful. The illusory figure's abdomen was instantly pierced. Lin Xuan, relentless, swung his hands like butterflies, casting multiple spells.

cī lā zhī shēng dà zuò ， zhǐ jiàn mó guāng zhòu qǐ ， tiān guǐ fǔ zhòu rán zēng dà le shí bèi yǒu yú ， huà wèi yī shù zhàng zhǎng de jù fǔ ， biǎo miàn bèi hēi sè de diàn hú chán rào zhe ， zhǎn xiàng duì fāng de tóu lú 。

刺啦之声大做，只见魔光骤起，天鬼斧骤然增大了十倍有余，化为一数丈长的巨斧，表面被黑色的电弧缠绕着，斩像对方的头颅。

The Celestial Demon Foe flew and slashed, dealing heavy damage to the already weakened illusory figure. It couldn't withstand such attacks and disintegrated in three swift blows.

nà xū yǐng dà jīng shī sè ， zhè shí hòu xiǎng tuì yǐ jīng lái bù jí ， dàn tā yě bú huì shù shǒu dài bì ， liǎng shǒu wǎng tóu shàng yī jǔ ， hēi qì yī zhèn mó hú ， jū rán biàn huà chū yí miàn dùn pái lái le 。

那虚影大惊失色，这时候想退已经来不及，但它也不会束手待毙，两手往头上一举，黑气一阵模糊，居然变化出一面盾牌来了。

With the obstacle cleared, Lin Xuan darted to join the battle.

nà dùn pái suī shì cāng chǔ biàn huà ér chū ， dàn biǎo miàn què yě mó wén bān bó ，hòu zhòng jiān shí ， fáng yù lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。

那盾牌虽是仓储变化而出，但表面却也魔纹斑驳，hòu重坚实，防御力非同小可。

Two ancient demons were shocked but reacted differently. Elder Scorpion Tail was both surprised and pleased, while Elder Wood Crown's expression was grim. They never imagined that this seemingly foolish man would be so formidable.

pēng ！

嘭！

"Friend Lin truly possesses great power. Together, we can defeat Old Demon Jia, a despicable villain. I will certainly reward you handsomely after the battle," said Elder Scorpion Tail.

jù dà huà de tiān guǐ fǔ hěn hěn zhǎn luò ， nà dùn pái biǎo miàn yǒu liè wén xiǎn xiàn ér chū ， dàn dào dǐ shì jiāng zhè yī jī dǎng zhù ， nà xū yǐng sì hū sōng le kǒu qì ， kě xià yī kè ， tā jiù xiào bù chū lái le 。

巨大化的天鬼斧狠狠斩落，那盾牌表面有裂纹显现而出，但到底是将这一击挡住，那虚影似乎松了口气，可下一刻，他就笑不出来了。

"Fellow Scorpion Tail need not worry; it was just an act of righteousness for me. My actions were to uphold justice..."

tiān guǐ fǔ de zhè yī jī ， yī jiù bù guò shì xī yǐn zhù yì 。

天鬼斧的这一击，依旧不过是吸引注意。

Elder Wood Crown sneered but couldn't discern his true intentions. He too was unsure if he should retreat or fight.

lín xuān chèn tā quán lì dǎng jià de yī kè ， jǐ pū dào jìn qián le ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， dùn shí xiàng yí gè xuán wō bān de xī yǐn le màn tiān de mó qì ， rán hòu huī quán zì jī ， xiàng zhe nà mó xiàng de xiǎo fù dǎ qù 。

林轩趁他全力挡架的一刻，己扑到近前了，右手抬起，顿时像一个漩涡般的吸引了漫天的魔气，然后挥拳自击，向着那魔像的小腹打去。

Just as he hesitated, Elder Scorpion Tail took the initiative and attacked with the Celestial Demon Foe...

zhè yī quán kàn shàng qù píng píng wú qí 。

这一拳看上去平平无奇。
