大统领的分魂有点诧异了，不过千余年的接触，他也知道自己这名义子，胸中有丘壑，论城府，不输于那些活了上百万年的老怪物，于是也就不再争辩什么，静静的等他说。随┆夢┆小┆說,.com
The deputy leader's spirit fragment was slightly surprised. However, after over a thousand years of interaction, he knew that his nominal son had a vast mind and depth of strategy, not inferior to those ancient monsters who lived for millions of years. Thus, he no longer argued but waited quietly for him to speak.
“ yì fù ， suī rán lín xuān de shì qíng wǒ yǔ nǐ shuō guò ， dàn nǐ bù céng yǔ tā zhēn zhèng jiē chù ， suǒ yǐ bìng bù liǎo jiě tā de 。”
“义父，虽然林轩的事情我与你说过，但你不曾与他真正接触，所以并不了解他的。”
"Father, although I have told you about Lin Xuan's situation, you haven't truly interacted with him, so you don't fully understand him."
“ nǐ shì shuō …”
“你是说…”
"You're saying..."
“ zì cóng wǒ tà rù xiū xiān jiè yǐ lái ， jīng lì fēng yǔ wú shù ， pèi fú de rén qū zhǐ kě shǔ ， zhè wèi ‘ lín dà gē ” què jué duì néng gòu pái zài dì yī wèi de ， wǒ bù zhī dào tā jīng lì guò shén me ， dàn wǒ xiāng xìn ， tā jué bú huì qīng yì yǔn luò ， nà hēi páo gǔ mó ， què rán qiáng dé lí pǔ ， dàn shuí yòu zhī dào ， lín xuān cáng yǒu shén me bǎo mìng de dǐ pái wèi chū ， suǒ yǐ liǎng rén duì shàng le ， shèng fù rú hé ， hái bù néng qīng yì xià jué duàn shén me 。
“自从我踏入修仙界以来，经历风雨无数，佩服的人屈指可数，这位‘林大哥”却绝对能够排在第一位的，我不知道他经历过什么，但我相信，他绝不会轻易陨落，那黑袍古魔，确然强得离谱，但谁又知道，林轩藏有什么保命的底牌未出，所以两人对上了，胜负如何，还不能轻易下决断什么。
"Since I entered the cultivation world, I've encountered countless storms and trials. The few people I admired were few and far between. This 'Old Brother Lin' definitely ranks among them. I don't know what he's experienced, but I believe he won't easily fall. That ancient black-robed demon is indeed incredibly powerful, but who knows if Lin Xuan has any hidden cards to play. Therefore, the outcome of their confrontation can't be determined lightly."
” tián xiǎo jiàn yǎn zhōng yì sè shǎn guò ， yǔ qì zhōng duì lín xuān xìn xīn shí zú ， zuì liǎo jiě nǐ de rén ， yǒng yuǎn shì duì shǒu ， suī rán yán gé lái shuō ， lín xuān yǔ tián xiǎo jiàn bìng méi yǒu shén me chóu ， rán ér liǎng rén àn dì lǐ de jiào jìn ， què yě cóng lái méi yǒu tíng zhǐ guò 。
”田小剑眼中异色闪过，语气中对林轩信心十足，最了解你的人，永远是对手，虽然严格来说，林轩与田小剑并没有什么仇，然而两人暗地里的较劲，却也从来没有停止过。
Tian Xiaojian's eyes flashed with a strange light as his tone was full of confidence in Lin Xuan. The best person to understand you is always your opponent. Although strictly speaking, there wasn't much enmity between Tian Xiaojian and Lin Xuan, they had been secretly competing without stopping.
jī běn shàng shì bù xiāng bó zhòng ， lín xuān néng gòu lüè zhàn shàng fēng ， tián xiǎo jiàn shū dé bù gān xīn zhī yú ， duì lín xuān nà yě shì pèi fú wú bǐ 。
基本上是不相伯仲，林轩能够略占上风，田小剑输得不甘心之余，对林轩那也是佩服无比。
Basically, it was neck and neck. With Lin Xuan slightly on top, Tian Xiaojian didn't dare relax as he knew the enemy was formidable. Finally, his speed slowed down, and seven small mountains came into view.
bù cuò ， nà hēi páo gǔ mó hěn qiáng ， dàn xiǎng yào miè shā lín xuān jué bú shì nà me qīng sōng 。
不错，那黑袍古魔很强，但想要灭杀林轩绝不是那么轻松。
These mountains weren’t particularly impressive from a distance—each no more than a hundred meters high—but they were arranged in the pattern of the Big Dipper.
dāng zhè yī zhàn fēn chū shèng fù ， shí yǒu ** shì liǎng bài jù shāng de kě néng xìng jū duō ， nà yàng de huà ， zì jǐ jiù kě yǐ shōu shí cán jú 。
当这一战分出胜负，十有**是两败俱伤的可能性居多，那样的话，自己就可以收拾残局。
Lin Xuan's heart leaped with joy.
tián xiǎo jiàn dǎ dī shì hún shuǐ mō yú de zhǔ yì ， hé bàng xiāng zhēng ， yú rén dé lì 。
田小剑打的是浑水摸鱼的主意，河蚌相争，渔人得利。
The records in the典籍were detailed. These seven small mountains hadn't naturally appeared here; instead, they had been created by some ancient cultivator using their divine powers to move mountains and fill seas during ancient times. The mountains were cleverly arranged to form an array that could safely lead one out of this place.
dāng rán ， lín xuān yě shì hěn jiǎo huá de ， zì jǐ wèi bì néng gòu rú yuàn dàn bù guǎn rú hé rú jīn zàn shí duǒ zài hòu miàn zǒng shì méi cuò ， děng kàn qīng chǔ qíng shì de fā zhǎn ， zì jǐ zài jué dìng gāi rú hé dìng duó 。
当然，林轩也是很狡猾的，自己未必能够如愿但不管如何如今暂时躲在后面总是没错，等看清楚情势的发展，自己再决定该如何定夺。
This was the only exit in the inner valley of Ice Flame Valley.
tián xiǎo jiàn jiāng zì jǐ de dǎ suàn jiǎng chū ， nà dà tǒng lǐng de fēn hún yě lián lián diǎn tóu móu dìng ér hòu dòng ， děng jú miàn míng lǎng le zài chū shǒu zì jǐ zhè yì zi zuò shì qíng ， hái zhēn shì chén wěn dào jí chù ， tā zhè yàng dǎ suàn yě què rán shì yǒu dào lǐ de 。
田小剑将自己的打算讲出，那大统领的分魂也连连点头谋定而后动，等局面明朗了再出手自己这义子做事情，还真是沉稳到极处，他这样打算也确然是有道理的。
Since it matched the description in the典籍, Lin Xuan didn't waste any time. He immediately unfurled his sleeves and flicked them, sending forty-nine top-grade demon stones flying.
yú shì ， tián xiǎo jiàn bù shēng bù xiǎng de fēi xiàng le bīng yán gǔ shēn chù 。
于是，田小剑不声不响的飞向了冰炎谷深处。
"Quickly!"
zhè jiā huo kě shì xiǎng jiāng lín xuān dāng pào huī lái zhe ， rán ér lín xuān huì shòu tā lì yòng me ？
这家伙可是想将林轩当炮灰来着，然而林轩会受他利用么？
Lin Xuan pointed a finger forward, enveloping those demon stones with black light before they landed on the peaks of the mountains. Then, he waved his hands like butterflies, continuously casting spells.
shuí yě bù xiǎo de sú huà shuō ， suàn rén zhě rén yì suàn zhī ， xiào dào zuì hòu cái shì shèng lì zhě 。
谁也不晓得俗话说，算人者人亦算之，笑到最后才是胜利者。
Rumbles echoed as the ground shook. Soon, beams of light shot out from the tops of the seven mountains and quickly connected to form a pattern that spread outward.
rú jīn wēi jī shàng wèi jié jiǎn zhè hòu miàn de fā zhǎn ， shuí yòu shuō dé qīng chǔ 。
如今危机尚未结柬这后面的发展，谁又说得清楚。
A mysterious and eerie design appeared. Ancient and mysterious, it was filled with a primitive aura, but Lin Xuan had no time to study its meaning.
zài shuō lìng yī biān ， lín xuān miè shā le nà qīng páo shào nián ， zì rán zhī dào duì fāng de lìng wài liǎng dà huà shēn bú huì jiāng zì jǐ fàng guò ， nà lán páo de jiā huo dào yě bà le ， shēn chuān hēi páo de gǔ mó zhe shí bù hǎo duì fù 。
再说另一边，林轩灭杀了那青袍少年，自然知道对方的另外两大化身不会将自己放过，那蓝袍的家伙倒也罢了，身穿黑袍的古魔着实不好对付。
Following the instructions in the典籍, he pointed his finger again with great solemnity.
duì fāng tǐ nèi jìn zhì jiě chú ， shí lì zēng jiā bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de yào duō dé duō 。
对方体内禁制解除，实力增加比自己想象的要多得多。
"Snap!"
bù ， xiàn zài hái méi yǒu wán quán jiě chú ， zhǐ shì liàn huà le yī xiǎo bàn ， rú guǒ lìng wài yí bàn yě bèi jiě chú ， nà ……”
不，现在还没有完全解除，只是炼化了一小半，如果另外一半也被解除，那……”
The design began to fragment, breaking into countless pieces that merged into the void. At this moment, the ground trembled even more violently, and a narrow path appeared before him.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān liǎn sè jí wéi yīn yù ， què yě jiù bù zài sī suǒ ， yīn wèi jì xù xiǎng xià qù ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu yì yì ， guǎn duì fāng yǒu duō qiáng ， zhǐ yào táo chū bīng yán gǔ ， zì jǐ jiù kě yǐ shǐ yòng suí jī chuán sòng fú ， bù … huò xǔ huàn yǐng dùn jiù kě yǐ ràng zì jǐ táo tuō 。
想到这里，林轩脸色极为阴郁，却也就不再思索，因为继续想下去，根本就没有意义，管对方有多强，只要逃出冰炎谷，自己就可以使用随机传送符，不…或许幻影遁就可以让自己逃脱。
This path had never existed but now mysteriously emerged, stretching no more than several hundred meters. Its end was blurry, unclear where it led, but Lin Xuan knew clearly: following this path to its end would lead out of Ice Flame Valley.
nà shí hòu tiān gāo yóu niǎo fēi ， hǎi kuò rèn yú yóu 。
那时候天高由鸟飞，海阔任鱼游。
"Phew."
guǎn duì fāng yǒu duō qiáng ， yǔ zì jǐ yòu yǒu shén me guān xì ne ？
管对方有多强，与自己又有什么关系呢？
Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief as his expression turned extremely excited. After enduring countless hardships, he could finally escape.
lín xuān yǐ jīng bù zài shǐ yòng jiǔ tiān wēi bù ， bì jìng yǐ jīng táo chū le yí dìng jù lí ， rú jīn ān quán ， cái shì dì yī wèi de 。
林轩已经不再使用九天微步，毕竟已经逃出了一定距离，如今安全，才是第一位的。
Without hesitation, Lin Xuan's body was enveloped in green light as he flew along the path.
tā gǎi yòng dùn guāng ， bù guò quán lì shī zhǎn xià ， nà sù dù yī jiù shì rú tóng shǎn diàn jīng léi ， qián yī kè hái zài tiān biān ， xià yī kè jiù fēi chū le yǎn lián 。
他改用遁光，不过全力施展下，那速度依旧是如同闪电惊雷，前一刻还在天边，下一刻就飞出了眼帘。
With his speed, it took only an instant to reach the exit.
kuài diǎn ， zài kuài yì diǎn ！
快点，再快一点！
Just as he was about to emerge, something unexpected happened.
míng zhī dào yǒu qiáng dí huán shì zài cè ， lín xuān zì rán sī háo yě bù gǎn xiè dài shén me 。
明知道有强敌环视在侧，林轩自然丝毫也不敢懈怠什么。
"Bad!"
zhōng yú ， tā dùn guāng yī huǎn ， qī zuò xiǎo shān yìng rù le yǎn lián 。
终于，他遁光一缓，七座小山映入了眼帘。
Lin Xuan's expression changed dramatically. However, even if he wanted to stop it now, it would be too late.
nà xiē shān cóng biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， dōu bú shì tài qǐ yǎn ， gāo bù guò bǎi zhàng yú ， rán ér què shì chéng běi dǒu qī xīng de fāng wèi pái liè dì 。
那些山从表面上看，都不是太起眼，高不过百丈余，然而却是呈北斗七星的方位排列地。
Although this array had some defensive capabilities, that beam of black light was incredibly powerful. The area shook violently for several miles around, and the path, including its exit, disintegrated before his eyes.
lín xuān xīn zhōng dà xǐ 。
林轩心中大喜。
Damn!
diǎn jí shàng de jì zǎi hěn xiáng xì 。
典籍上的记载很详细。
In that instant, Lin Xuan's face turned ashen with anger. He could escape to a new world, but at the last moment, his hope was cut off. The disappointment and frustration filled him to the brim; if he couldn't vent, he felt like he would explode.
zhè qī zuò xiǎo shān ， qí shí bìng bú shì tiān rán jiù chù lì zài zhè lǐ ， ér shì zài shàng gǔ shí qī ， bù zhī dào nǎ wèi dà néng yòng yí shān tián hǎi de dà shén tōng kāi pì 。
这七座小山，其实并不是天然就矗立在这里，而是在上古时期，不知道哪位大能用移山填海的大神通开辟。
"Whoever dares to tolerate this, no one can!"
shān fēng jiā shàng zhōu wéi de dì shì ， bèi nà mó zú shèng zǔ qiǎo miào bù zhì ， jiù chéng le yī zhèn fǎ ， tōng guò tā ， kě yǐ píng ān de lí kāi cǐ chù 。
山峰加上周围的地势，被那魔族圣祖巧妙布置，就成了一阵法，通过它，可以平安的离开此处。
The black-robed youth's actions were too much of an affront! This young master wasn’t afraid of you!
zhè yě shì bīng yán gǔ nèi gǔ wéi yī de chū lù 。
这也是冰炎谷内谷唯一的出路。
Lin Xuan raised his head with a fierce expression. A surge of fighting spirit spread throughout his body.
jì rán yǔ céng jīng kàn guò de diǎn jí shàng de miáo shù xiāng tóng ， lín xuān dāng rán bú huì dān gē 。
既然与曾经看过的典籍上的描述相同，林轩当然不会耽搁。
Sure enough, the space above him began to distort, and the sky grew darker.
dāng jí xiù páo ！ fú ， qī qī sì shí jiǔ kē jí pǐn mó shí fēi lüè ér chū 。
当即袖袍！拂，七七四十九颗极品魔石飞掠而出。
However, this time, Lin Xuan didn't panic; there was no fear on his face.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
Damn ancient demon! This young master has faced countless storms and trials. If you want a fight, come on!
lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù ， nà xiē mó shí lì kè bèi hēi máng bāo guǒ ， luò xiàng le shān fēng de dǐng bù 。
林轩一指向前点去，那些魔石立刻被黑芒包裹，落像了山峰的顶部。
"Snap!"
suí hòu lín xuān shuāng shǒu rú chuān huā hú dié yì bān de huī wǔ ， yī dào yī dào de fǎ jué bèi tā jiē lián dǎ chū 。
随后林轩双手如穿花蝴蝶一般的挥舞，一道一道的法诀被他接连打出。
The distortion in the space intensified until a long crack appeared as if pulled by some immense force.
hōng lōng lóng ！
轰隆隆！
From within this crack, black runes of various sizes spewed out. Most were unfamiliar to Lin Xuan; he had dabbled in demon affairs but didn't understand them deeply enough.
dì biǎo zhèn dòng ， suí hòu cóng nà qī zuò shān fēng de fēng dǐng zhī chù ， gè zì pēn shè chū yī dào guāng zhù ， hěn kuài nà xiē guāng zhù lián chéng yī xiàn ， suí hòu què yòu cháo zhe sì zhōu màn yán 。
地表震动，随后从那七座山峰的峰顶之处，各自喷射出一道光柱，很快那些光柱连成一线，随后却又朝着四周蔓延。
As time passed, more and more runes emerged, and the black-robed youth stepped out. His face was equally ashen, surrounded by black lightning. Between the gaps of the lightning, other runes danced around him.
yī fù xuán miào ér guǐ yì de tú àn chū xiàn 。
一副玄妙而诡异的图案出现。
They hadn’t even started fighting yet, but their presence alone made anyone with a weaker cultivation level tremble in fear. However, Lin Xuan showed no fear.
gǔ piáo shén mì ， chōng mǎn le mán huāng de qì xī ， bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān cái méi yǒu xīn qíng qù yán jiū zhè fú tú huà yǐn cáng le shén me 。
古朴神秘，充满了蛮荒的气息，不过此时此刻，林轩才没有心情去研究这幅图画隐藏了什么。
He was furious; this demon had gone too far! If he wanted to stop him, Lin Xuan would gladly accept the challenge.
lì kè àn zhào diǎn jí suǒ shù ， yòu shì yī zhǐ níng zhòng yì cháng de xiàng qián diǎn chū 。
立刻按照典籍所述，又是一指凝重异常的向前点出。
"Roar!"
cī lā ”…
刺啦”…
Lin Xuan crossed his hands and then clenched them tightly. As he did so, a small Luo Tian figure appeared—nine heads and eighteen arms, dazzlingly beautiful. Then, the figure vanished as a phoenix, golden-winged great鹏bird, and qilin's shadows emerged, enveloping Lin Xuan.
nà tú àn kāi shǐ xuǎn zé ， suí hòu jū rán bù kě sī yì de suì liè chéng liǎo wú shù piàn ， róng rù dào xū kōng zhī zhōng ， ér zhè shí ， dì biǎo chuán lái le gèng jiā qiáng liè de zhèn dòng ， yī tiáo xiǎo lù jū rán chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn zhōng 。
那图案开始选择，随后居然不可思议的碎裂成了无数片，融入到虚空之中，而这时，地表传来了更加强烈的震动，一条小路居然出现在了视线中。
After a moment, the light faded, revealing a magnificent suit of armor that fused the strengths of three true spirits.
zhè tiáo yáng cháng xiǎo dào yuán běn shì bù cún zài le ， rán ér cǐ kè ， què zhè me guǐ yì de fú xiàn ér chū ， zhǎng bù guò shù bǎi zhàng ， tā de jìn tóu ， què shì yī piàn mó hú ， kàn bù chū tōng wǎng hé chù ， rán ér lín xuān què shì qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， zhǐ yào shùn zhe cǐ lù ， zǒu dào jìn tóu ， jiù kě yǐ chū bīng yán gǔ 。
这条羊肠小道原本是不存在了，然而此刻，却这么诡异的浮现而出，长不过数百丈，它的尽头，却是一片模糊，看不出通往何处，然而林轩却是清清楚楚，只要顺着此路，走到尽头，就可以出冰炎谷。
Nine Heaven Divine Luo Figure!
“ hū 。 ”
“呼。 ”
Lin Xuan was also furious. Knowing his opponent was formidable, he had revealed his ultimate technique.
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yě jī dòng yǐ jí ， zhè yī cì lì jīng jiān nán xiǎn zǔ ， bù guò zǒng suàn shì mǎ shàng jiù kě yǐ táo chū shēng tiān le 。
林轩松了口气，脸上的表情也激动以极，这一次历经艰难险阻，不过总算是马上就可以逃出生天了。
The black-robed youth’s pupils constricted in surprise. He wasn’t surprised by Lin Xuan's secret technique; it was too amazing to be ignored, but the change in Lin Xuan's fighting spirit was astonishing.
lín xuān zì rán bú huì dān gē ， dāng jí hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， jiù yán zhe nà xiǎo lù fēi le guò qù 。
林轩自然不会耽搁，当即浑身青芒一起，就沿着那小路飞了过去。
"Haha!"
yǐ tā de dùn sù ， qū qū shù bǎi zhàng zhuǎn shùn jiù dào le 。
以他的遁速，区区数百丈转瞬就到了。
The black-robed youth smiled without fear. Only someone like him would make a worthy opponent, and slaying such a cultivator would bring immense satisfaction when recalling this battle.
yǎn kàn jiù yào lái dào chū kǒu ， rán ér piān piān jiù zài cǐ kè ， yì biàn tū qǐ le 。
眼看就要来到出口，然而偏偏就在此刻，异变突起了。
He didn’t need his prepared speech; since this young man had killed one of his incarnations, he wouldn’t let him live either. The main body would personally send him to the underworld.
yī dào hēi sè de mó guāng ， shì xiān méi yǒu bàn diǎn zhēng zhào ， hěn hěn de jī dǎ zài xiǎo lù jìn tóu nà piàn hùn dùn de xū kōng zhī shàng 。
一道黑色的魔光，事先没有半点征兆，狠狠的击打在小路尽头那片混沌的虚空之上。
The black-robed youth raised his head and let out a war cry filled with determination before vanishing from sight in an instant.
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
His movements were so fast that they couldn't be seen clearly. However, Lin Xuan had Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes and reacted swiftly. He moved like a whirlwind, disappearing without a trace.
lín xuān bó rán biàn sè ， rán ér cǐ kè ， jí biàn xiǎng yào zǔ zhǐ yě gēn běn lái bù jí le 。
林轩勃然变色，然而此刻，即便想要阻止也根本来不及了。
Boom!
cǐ zhèn fǎ suī rán bù néng shuō sī háo fáng yù lì yě wú ， rán ér nà shù mó guāng de wēi néng shí zài shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， fāng yuán shù lǐ ， zhěng gè kōng jiān fǎng fú dōu hěn hěn de dǒu le yī xià ， suí hòu ， zhěng tiáo xiǎo lù ， bāo kuò jìn tóu de chū kǒu ， yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de sù dù ， bēng kuì huà wèi le xū wú 。
此阵法虽然不能说丝毫防御力也无，然而那束魔光的威能实在是非同小可，方圆数里，整个空间仿佛都狠狠的抖了一下，随后，整条小路，包括尽头的出口，以肉眼可见的速度，崩溃化为了虚无。
The next moment, the earth shook as if heaven and earth were collapsing. Both of them were several hundred meters away from their original positions. As they reappeared, one was like a tiger released from its cage, while the other was like an eagle pouncing on its prey. Their movements were incredibly powerful; each threw a punch that collided with the air.
kě wù ！
可恶！
PS: The update is late, but it's not short. Please give me some recommendation votes! (To be continued)
"Ah?"
The deputy leader's spirit fragment was slightly surprised. However, after over a thousand years of interaction, he knew that his nominal son had a vast mind and depth of strategy, not inferior to those ancient monsters who lived for millions of years. Thus, he no longer argued but waited quietly for him to speak.
"Father, although I have told you about Lin Xuan's situation, you haven't truly interacted with him, so you don't fully understand him."
"You're saying..."

However, this time, Lin Xuan didn't panic; there was no fear on his face.

After a moment, the light faded, revealing a magnificent suit of armor that fused the strengths of three true spirits.
Nine Heaven Divine Luo Figure!
Lin Xuan was also furious. Knowing his opponent was formidable, he had revealed his ultimate technique.
The black-robed youth’s pupils constricted in surprise. He wasn’t surprised by Lin Xuan's secret technique; it was too amazing to be ignored, but the change in Lin Xuan's fighting spirit was astonishing.
"Haha!"
The black-robed youth smiled without fear. Only someone like him would make a worthy opponent, and slaying such a cultivator would bring immense satisfaction when recalling this battle.
He didn’t need his prepared speech; since this young man had killed one of his incarnations, he wouldn’t let him live either. The main body would personally send him to the underworld.
Roar!
The black-robed youth raised his head and let out a war cry filled with determination before vanishing from sight in an instant.
His movements were so fast that they couldn't be seen clearly. However, Lin Xuan had Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes and reacted swiftly. He moved like a whirlwind, disappearing without a trace.
Boom!
The next moment, the earth shook as if heaven and earth were collapsing. Both of them were several hundred meters away from their original positions. As they reappeared, one was like a tiger released from its cage, while the other was like an eagle pouncing on its prey. Their movements were incredibly powerful; each threw a punch that collided with the air.
