jǐn guǎn yǐ yǒu chuǎi duó ， kě kàn qīng chǔ fú xiàn yú yǎn qián de yí mù ， lín xuān hái shì rěn bú zhù dào xī le yī kǒu liáng qì ， liǎn sè nán kàn wú bǐ 。い suí ┆ mèng ┆ xiǎo ┆ shuō ,.com
尽管已有揣度，可看清楚浮现于眼前的一幕，林轩还是忍不住倒吸了一口凉气，脸色难看无比。い随┆夢┆小┆說,.com
Despite his prior understanding, Lin Xuan still couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath as he saw the scene clearly before him. His expression was unusually grim.
zì jǐ shén tōng wēi lì rú hé ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， jiǔ gōng xū yú yǔ shì líng jiàn lián shǒu yī jī ， nà wēi lì kān chēng shì wú yǐ lún bǐ ， rán ér cǐ kè ， nà gǔ mó què wán hǎo wú sǔn de zài shēn qián xuán fú 。
自己神通威力如何，林轩心中有数，九宫须臾与噬灵剑联手一击，那威力堪称是无以伦比，然而此刻，那古魔却完好无损的在身前悬浮。
The power of his techniques was clear to him; the Nine Palaces Technique and the Devouring Spirit Sword working together had produced an incomparable strike. However, at this moment, that ancient demon was undamaged and hovering in front of him.
méi cuò ， jiù shì wán hǎo wú sǔn ， fǎng fú gāng gāng zì jǐ nà jīng tiān yī jī ， bù guò shì wēi fēng fú miàn ér yǐ 。
没错，就是完好无损，仿佛刚刚自己那惊天一击，不过是微风拂面而已。
Indeed, it was intact. It seemed as if his shocking blow was just a gentle breeze.
lín xuān zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， jīng lì de dòu fǎ bù jì qí shù ， zài xiōng xiǎn de qíng kuàng yě yù jiàn guò ， rán ér cǐ kè ， tā xīn zhōng què yǒu xiē fā hán le 。
林轩自从踏上修仙之路，经历的斗法不计其数，再凶险的情况也遇见过，然而此刻，他心中却有些发寒了。
Lin Xuan had faced countless battles on his path to cultivation, encountering the most perilous situations. Yet now, he felt a chill run down his spine.
duì fāng lì dí bù dé ！
对方力敌不得！
He couldn't match the opponent's strength!
yǐ jiāng 〖 tǐ 〗 nèi jìn zhì jiě chú de tā ， shí lì xiǎn rán zài gāng gāng de jī chǔ shàng ， yòu yuè shēng le yí gè děng jí ， jué fēi rú jīn de zì jǐ kě yǐ bǐ nǐ 。
已将〖体〗内禁制解除的他，实力显然在冈刚的基础上，又跃升了一个等级，绝非如今的自己可以比拟。
Having already removed the restrictions from within himself, his power had clearly risen another level beyond Gao Gang’s base foundation stage, something that was not comparable to him at present.
sān shí liù jì ， zǒu wéi shàng jì ！
三十六计，走为上计！
Fleeing was the best option.
lín xuān yǐ zài xīn zhōng zuò chū le jué zé ， jì rán dǎ bù guò ， nà gǎn kuài shǎn rén xiǎn rán shì zuì wèi zhèng què de xuǎn zé 。
林轩已在心中做出了抉择，既然打不过，那赶快闪人显然是最为正确的选择。
Lin Xuan made up his mind. Since he couldn’t defeat the enemy, quickly escaping was undoubtedly the wisest choice.
zhì yú gāi táo wǎng hé chù ， lín xuān xiàn zài yě bù xiǎo de ， dàn dà bù liǎo zǒu yī bù kàn yī bù ， tián xiǎo jiàn yīng gāi hái zài nèi gǔ ， xiǎng ràng zì jǐ yí gè rén miàn duì qiáng dí ， tā què duǒ zài hòu miàn jiǎn pián yí ， xiǎng fǎ dǎo shì bù cuò ， dàn lín xuān qǐ huì ràng tā rú yuàn ne ？
至于该逃往何处，林轩现在也不晓得，但大不了走一步看一步，田小剑应该还在内谷，想让自己一个人面对强敌，他却躲在后面捡便宜，想法倒是不错，但林轩岂会让他如愿呢？
As for where to go, Lin Xuan didn't know now but would take it one step at a time. Xiao Jian should still be in the inner valley; while he wanted him to face this formidable opponent alone, he hid behind to reap the benefits. That idea wasn’t bad, but how could Lin Xuan let that happen?
xiān táo zhe ， yī huì er bǎ nà xiǎo zi lā xià shuǐ zài shuō 。
先逃着，一会儿把那小子拉下水再说。
First, escape and drag that kid down with me later.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐ yǒu le dìng duó 。
林轩心中已有了定夺。
Lin Xuan had made his decision.
xiù páo yī fú ， líng guāng shǎn shuò ， tā de zhǎng xīn shàng kōng ， yòu chū yàn le shù yǐ bǎi jì de fú lù 。
袖袍一拂，灵光闪烁，他的掌心上空，又出砚了数以百计的符箓。
With a wave of his sleeve, spiritual light flickered, and numerous talismans appeared above his palm—hundreds in number.
dāng chū zài fù jiā ， lín xuān lì jīng xīn kǔ ， céng táo dào le shàng qiān zhāng de líng fú ， rú jīn dào hǎo ， liǎng cì jiù yòng wán le 。
当初在付家，林轩历经辛苦，曾淘到了上千张的灵符，如今倒好，两次就用完了。
Back at the Fu Family, Lin Xuan had worked hard to gather over a thousand spirit talismans. Now, he had used them up twice.
zhè zhǒng fāng shì de chū shǒu ， kān chēng shē chǐ háo kuò ， bù guò rú jīn bǎo zhù xiǎo mìng cái shì zuì zhòng yào de xiāo hào yī xiē líng fú yòu suàn dé le shén me 。
这种方式的出手，堪称奢侈豪阔，不过如今保住小命才是最重要的消耗一些灵符又算得了什么。
This kind of move was extravagant, but preserving his life was now the top priority; what did it matter if some spirit talismans were consumed?
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī zhǐ xiàng qián miàn diǎn qù ， màn tiān de yuán qì ， fēng yōng dào zhè lǐ suí hòu ,“ pū chī ” yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ nà shù yǐ bǎi jì de líng fú ， quán bù wú fēng zì rán 。
林轩右手抬起，一指像前面点去，漫天的元气，蜂拥到这里随后,“噗嗤”一声传入耳朵那数以百计的灵符，全部无风自燃。
Raising his right hand, Lin Xuan pointed forward. A myriad of primordial energy rushed to that point, and "pfft," all the hundreds of spirit talismans ignited on their own.
jǐng xiàng zhuàng guān dào jí diǎn ， suí hòu bīng shǐ léi huǒ fēng rèn dì cì ， fēn fēn fú xiàn ér chū rú léi tíng bào yǔ ， xiàng zhe duì shǒu qīng xiè guò qù 。
景象壮观到极点，随后冰矢雷火风刃地刺，纷纷浮现而出如雷霆暴雨，向着对手倾泻过去。
The scene was breathtaking as ice arrows, lightning flames, and wind blades emerged, like a storm of thunder, pouring towards the opponent.
měi yī zhāng fú lù suǒ shì fàng chū lái de wēi lì xiāng dāng yú dòng xuán qī gǔ mó de yī jī ， shù bǎi zhāng dié jiā zài yì qǐ ， lín xuān jiù bù xiāng xìn duì fāng bù shǎn bù bì yào zhī dào yǐ duō shì kě yǐ yǎo si dà xiàng dì 。
每一张符箓所释放出来的威力相当于洞玄期古魔的一击，数百张叠加在一起，林轩就不相信对方不闪不避要知道蚁多是可以咬si大象地。
Each talisman's release equaled an attack from a Cave Profound ancient demon. With several hundredsuperposition together, Lin Xuan didn't believe the opponent would dodge or avoid them—after all, many ants could still bite through an elephant.
“ hēng ， xiǎo jiā huo ， nǐ de fú lù hái zhēn duō ， bù guò tóng yàng de zhāo shù ， zài běn zūn miàn qián shǐ yòng dì èr cì ， nǐ yǐ wéi huì yǒu shén me yòng ？”
“哼，小家伙，你的符箓还真多，不过同样的招数，在本尊面前使用第二次，你以为会有什么用？”
"Hmph, little fellow, your talismans are indeed numerous. But using the same trick twice in front of this true self, do you think it will have any effect?"
nà hēi páo shào nián liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī lěng cháo zhī sè ， yě shì tái qǐ shǒu lái ， yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū 。
那黑袍少年脸上闪过一丝冷嘲之色，也是抬起手来，一指向前点出。
The black-robed youth's face flashed with a hint of mockery as he raised his hand and pointed forward.
mó qì fān yǒng ， yī zhāng jù dà de guǐ liǎn chū xiàn zài bàn kōng ， zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， pēn chū yī dào dào de yīn fēng ， nà yīn fēng nǎi shì huī méng méng de yán sè ， zhǎ yǎn jiān ， jiù yǔ bīng shǐ léi huǒ zhuàng zài yì qǐ 。
魔气翻涌，一张巨大的鬼脸出现在半空，张开血盆大口，喷出一道道的阴风，那阴风乃是灰蒙蒙的颜色，眨眼间，就与冰矢雷火撞在一起。
Demon energy surged, and a huge ghostly face appeared mid-air, opening its blood-filled mouth to release streams ofyin wind. The grayish-black wind collided with the ice arrows, lightning flames, and wind blades.
jiē xià lái fā shēng le bù kě sī yì de yí mù ， jiù rú tóng shuǐ yù jiàn le huǒ ， nà xiē bīng shǐ léi huǒ ， fēng rèn dì cì ， hái lái bù jí bào fā wēi lì ， jiù bèi jiāo miè diào le 。
接下来发生了不可思议的一幕，就如同水遇见了火，那些冰矢雷火，风刃地刺，还来不及爆发威力，就被浇灭掉了。
An unbelievable scene unfolded: like water meeting fire, those ice arrows, lightning flames, and wind blades failed to unleash their power before being extinguished.
lín xuān chēng mù jié shé ， yuán běn xiǎng yǐ zhè xiē fú lù zuò yǎn hù ， liū zhī dà jí ， xiàn zài zhè fān dǎ suàn ， xiǎn rán shì méi yǒu le yòng wǔ zhī dì 。
林轩瞠目结舌，原本想以这些符箓做掩护，溜之大吉，现在这番打算，显然是没有了用武之地。
Lin Xuan was dumbfounded. He had originally planned to use these talismans as cover to slip away, but now this plan seemed useless.
hǎo kě pà de gǔ mó ， duì fāng jiě chú jìn zhì yǐ hòu ， bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái nán duì fù 。
好可怕的古魔，对方解除禁制以后，比自己想象的还难对付。
How terrifying the ancient demon was! After removing his restrictions, it turned out to be even harder to deal with than he imagined.
lín xuān de liǎn sè nán kàn dào jí chù 。
林轩的脸色难看到极处。
Lin Xuan's expression was at its most grim.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou jí zhuǎn ， jiē xià lái gāi zěn me bàn ？
脑海中念头急转，接下来该怎么办？
Thoughts raced through his mind. What should he do next?
hái méi yǒu xiǎng chū gè jié guǒ ， duì fāng yǐ yáng shǒu yī quán xiàng zhe zhè biān dǎ le guò lái 。
还没有想出个结果，对方已扬手一拳像着这边打了过来。
Before he could decide, the opponent struck a fist towards him.
lín xuān jiān tóu yī dǒu ， xiàng zuǒ biān kuà chū yī bù ， yìng jiē bú shì zhèng què de xuǎn zé ， tā xiǎng yào shǐ yòng jiǔ tiān wēi bù ， dǎ suàn běn méi yǒu cuò ， rán ér zhōu wéi de kōng qì ， què yī xià zi níng zhì qǐ lái le 。
林轩肩头一抖，像左边跨出一步，硬接不是正确的选择，他想要使用九天微步，打算本没有错，然而周围的空气，却一下子凝滞起来了。
Lin Xuan shook his shoulder and stepped left, but dodging wasn't the right choice. He intended to use Nine Heaven Microsteps, which was not wrong, but the surrounding air suddenly became stagnant.
“ zhè shì …… kōng jiān fǎ zé ！”
“这是……空间法则！”
"This... spatial law!"
lín xuān dà jīng shī sè ， jiě chú jìn gù de tā ， yǐ jīng néng gòu shǐ yòng kōng jiān zhī lì le me ？
林轩大惊失色，解除禁锢的他，已经能够使用空间之力了么？
Lin Xuan was shocked. Had he already unlocked spatial power after removing his restrictions?
zhè ge niàn tou zài nǎo hǎi zhōng shǎn guò ， lín xuān què méi yǒu shí jiān duō zuò sī suǒ ， yīn wèi duì fāng nà yī quán rú hǎi cháo nù tāo yì bān de dǎ guò lái le 。
这个念头在脑海中闪过，林轩却没有时间多做思索，因为对方那一拳如海潮怒涛一般的打过来了。
The thought flashed through his mind, but he didn’t have time to ponder it further as that fist came crashing down like a tidal wave.
duǒ chéng le shē wàng ， nà jiù zhǐ yǒu yìng jiē yī tú 。
躲成了奢望，那就只有硬接一途。
Dodge was out of the question; only one option remained—hardly taking it.
lín xuān yī shēng dà hē ， pī lǐ pā lā de gǔ gé bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān yī shǒu zuò quán ， yī shǒu chéng zhǎo ， zhǐ jiàn quán yǐng fēn fēi ， zhǎo máng luàn wǔ 。
林轩一声大喝，噼里啪啦的骨骼爆裂声传入耳朵，林轩一手做拳，一手成爪，只见拳影纷飞，爪芒乱舞。
With a loud shout, Lin Xuan’s bones cracked. He formed a fist with one hand and a claw with the other, fists flying and claws dancing.
zhè shì yǐ gōng zuò shǒu ， zài zì jǐ shēn qián bù xià le liǎng céng fáng hù ， dàn méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， jiē xià lái ， bù lùn shì quán yǐng hái shì zhǎo máng ， dōu cuī kū lā xiǔ bān de bèi pò 。
这是以攻做守，在自己身前布下了两层防护，但没有效果，接下来，不论是拳影还是爪芒，都摧枯拉朽般的被破。
This was an offensive defense, setting up two layers of protection in front of him. However, they were ineffective; both fists and claws were swept away like straw.
duì fāng nà yī quán de wēi lì dà dé lìng rén zé shé 。
对方那一拳的威力大得令人咋舌。
The power behind that punch was astonishing.
lín xuān kǒu zhōng xiān xuè pēn bó ， rén què yī jiù bèi jìn gù zài yuán dì ， nà xiē níng zhì hòu de kōng qì ， kān bǐ tóng qiáng tiě bì ， zhè jiù shì kōng jiān fǎ zé ， yì bān lái shuō ， zhǐ yǒu dù jié qī cái néng gòu lǐng wù ， rán ér zhè wèi sān yǎn shèng zǔ wèi zì jǐ zhǔn bèi de qū qiào ， tiān fù yì bǐng ， rú jīn jiù néng gòu qū shǐ yī xiē de 。
林轩口中鲜血喷薄，人却依旧被禁锢在原地，那些凝滞后的空气，堪比铜墙铁壁，这就是空间法则，一般来说，只有渡劫期才能够领悟，然而这位三眼圣祖为自己准备的躯壳，天赋异禀，如今就能够驱使一些的。
Lin Xuan spat out blood but remained trapped where he stood. The air had become as solid as copper walls and iron barriers—this was the spatial law. Generally, only those who had passed through tribulation could comprehend it, but this three-eyed saint had endowed his body with extraordinary abilities, allowing him to manipulate some of its powers.
“ lín xiǎo zi ， rú hé ， xiàn zài tǐ huì dào jiāng yào yǔn luò de kě pà le me ， fàng xīn ， wǒ bú huì ràng nǐ hěn kuài si de ， běn zūn de huà shēn bèi nǐ miè chú ， bù hǎo hǎo zhāo dài nǐ yī fān běn zūn zěn me néng gòu xiāo jiě xīn tóu zhī qì ne ？”
“林小子，如何，现在体会到将要陨落的可怕了么，放心，我不会让你很快si的，本尊的化身被你灭除，不好好招待你一番本尊怎么能够消解心头之气呢？”
"Little Lin, how do you feel now? Are you starting to experience the fear of impending death? Relax; I won't let you die quickly. Since my avatar was destroyed by you, I must properly entertain you before I can relieve this inner anger."
nà hēi páo shào nián tái qǐ tóu lú ， jié bái de yá chǐ fǎng fú yǒu guāng máng shǎn shuò ， rán ér tā suǒ shuō de huà yǔ què ràng rén xīn zhōng fā hán le 。
那黑袍少年抬起头颅，洁白的牙齿仿佛有光芒闪烁，然而他所说的话语却让人心中发寒了。
The black-robed youth raised his head, and his white teeth seemed to glow with a faint light. However, what he said sent chills down one's spine.
zài tā de yǎn lǐ ， lín xuān rú jīn yǐ shì lóng zhōng niǎo ， wǎng zhōng yú ， niē biǎn niē yuán suí zì jǐ lè yì 。
在他的眼里，林轩如今已是笼中鸟，网中鱼，捏扁捏圆随自己乐意。
In his eyes, Lin Xuan was now like a bird in a cage or a fish in a net—under his control.
gǔ mó běn jiù shì yá zì bì bào dì 。
古魔本就是睚眦必报地。
Ancient demons were known for their vengeful nature.
bù guò lín xuān yòu zěn me kě néng shù shǒu dài bì ， jǐn guǎn rú jīn de jú miàn duì tā bù lì yǐ jí ， dàn gèng wēi xiǎn de qíng kuàng tā yě yù dào guò ， rú jīn hái bú shì huó dé hǎo hǎo de 。
不过林轩又怎么可能束手待毙，尽管如今的局面对他不利以极，但更危险的情况他也遇到过，如今还不是活得好好的。
But how could Lin Xuan just sit and wait to die? Despite the dire situation, he had faced more dangerous scenarios before. He wasn’t dead yet.
gāng gāng nà yī quán ， què shí jiāng tā dǎ dé hěn cǎn ， bù guò lín xuān hún shēn ， bì jìng chuān dài yǒu jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng suǒ huàn huà chū de zhēn líng zhī kǎi ， jiā shàng tā shēn tǐ de qiáng rèn chéng dù ， kān bǐ tóng jiē de tiān dì líng zú ， suǒ yǐ láng bèi guī láng bèi ， dàn zhè shāng ， yuǎn bú shì zhì mìng de 。
刚刚那一拳，确实将他打得很惨，不过林轩浑身，毕竟穿戴有九天神罗相所幻化出的真灵之铠，加上他身体的强韧程度，堪比同阶的天地灵族，所以狼狈归狼狈，但这伤，远不是致命的。
That punch did indeed hurt him badly, but with the True Spirit Armor manifested from Nine Heaven Divine Net protecting his body, coupled with his resilient physique akin to a peerless celestial spirit race, the injuries were far from fatal.
lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī ， jiāng xiōng kǒu fān yǒng de qì xuè yā le xià qù 。
林轩深深呼吸，将胸口翻涌的气血压了下去。
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan calmed his surging primordial energy.
suí hòu zuǒ shǒu tái qǐ ， shǒu zhǎng zhè me qīng qīng yī fān ， dùn shí ， yī shì yàng gǔ piáo de zhǎng gē zài zhǎng xīn zhōng fú xiàn 。
随后左手抬起，手掌这么轻轻一翻，顿时，一式样古朴的长戈在掌心中浮现。
Raising his left hand, he flicked it, and an ancient-looking long spear appeared in his palm.
lín xuān jiāng fǎ lì zhù rù ， suí hòu jiāng cǐ zhǎng gē xuán zhuǎn fēi wǔ ， cī lā shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yín máng dà zuò ， yī dào cuǐ càn de dàn yín sè guāng rèn chū xiàn le 。
林轩将法力注入，随后将此长戈旋转飞舞，刺啦声传入耳朵，银芒大做，一道璀璨的淡银色光刃出现了。
Infusing his mana into it, he spun and twirled the spear. "Sizzle," silver light shone as a brilliant pale silver blade appeared.
zài lín xuān sì zhōu zhè me yī wǔ ， fǎng fú yǒu shén me bèi qiè pò ， lín xuān suǒ shòu dào de jìn gù dùn shí xiāo shī le ， jiě líng hái xū xì líng rén ， tóng yàng de dào lǐ ， kōng jiān shén tōng ， jiù yào yòng kōng jiān lèi de bǎo wù cái néng gòu pò chú 。
在林轩四周这么一舞，仿佛有什么被切破，林轩所受到的禁锢顿时消失了，解铃还须系铃人，同样的道理，空间神通，就要用空间类的宝物才能够破除。
With this dance around him, something seemed to be cut through, and Lin Xuan's bindings vanished. To undo what was tied, one must tie it again; similarly, spatial techniques required spatial artifacts to break.
suí hòu lín xuān shēn xíng yī shǎn ， zhè cì shùn lì de jiāng jiǔ tiān wēi bù shī zhǎn kāi ， rén yǐ zài shù qiān zhàng yǐ wài 。
随后林轩身形一闪，这次顺利的将九天微步施展开，人已在数千丈以外。
Lin Xuan swiftly used Nine Heaven Microsteps, now several thousand feet away.
nà hēi páo gǔ mó bù yóu de yī dāi ， tā méi xiǎng dào lín xuān néng gòu zhèng tuō zì jǐ de shù fù ， zhè jiā huo ， bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de ， yào nán chán dé duō 。
那黑袍古魔不由得一呆，他没想到林轩能够挣脱自己的束缚，这家伙，比自己想象的，要难缠得多。
The black-robed ancient demon was taken aback. He didn't expect Lin Xuan to escape his restraint. This guy was much more troublesome than he had imagined.
bù guò méi guān xì ， shí lì de chā jù bǎi zài nǎ lǐ ， tā shì táo bù chū zì jǐ shǒu zhǎng xīn dì 。
不过没关系，实力的差距摆在哪里，他是逃不出自己手掌心地。
But that was fine; the gap in power was obvious—he couldn’t escape from his grasp.
lín xuān hé cháng bù xiǎo de ， zì jǐ miàn duì jí dà de wēi jī ， xiù páo yī fú ， nà wàn hún tǎ yǐ fēi lüè ér chū 。
林轩何尝不晓得，自己面对极大的危机，袖袍一拂，那万魂塔已飞掠而出。
Lin Xuan knew this too. With a wave of his sleeve, Ten Thousand Souls Tower flew out.
suí hòu zhī ya shēng dà zuò ， cǐ bǎo huǎn huǎn dǎ kāi le ， yī tuán cì mù bái guāng yìng rù yǎn lián ， suí hòu nà bái guāng huà wèi le yí gè xuán wō ， wēng míng shēng dà zuò ， yī duǒ xuè hóng sè de chóng yún cóng lǐ miàn fēi chū lái le 。
随后吱呀声大做，此宝缓缓打开了，一团刺目白光映入眼帘，随后那白光化为了一个漩涡，嗡鸣声大做，一朵血红色的虫云从里面飞出来了。
A creaking sound echoed as the treasure slowly opened, and a blinding white light entered his eyes. The light transformed into a vortex, buzzing loudly, and a blood-red insect cloud emerged.
xuè huǒ yǐ ！
血火蚁！
Bloodfire Ants!
rán ér hēi páo gǔ mó de liǎn shàng què mǎn shì bù xiè zhī yì ：“ lín xiǎo zi ， nǐ shì bú shì qián lǘ jì qióng ， yòu shǐ yòng qǐ tóng yàng de zhāo shù ， yǐ wéi zhè xiē mó chóng ， hái néng duì běn zūn yǒu yòng ？”
然而黑袍古魔的脸上却满是不屑之意：“林小子，你是不是黔驴技穷，又使用起同样的招数，以为这些魔虫，还能对本尊有用？”
But the black-robed ancient demon's face was filled with disdain: "Little Lin, are you out of tricks? Using these demonic insects again; do you think they can still be effective against me?"
Despite his prior understanding, Lin Xuan still couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath as he saw the scene clearly before him. His expression was unusually grim.
The power of his techniques was clear to him; the Nine Palaces Technique and the Devouring Spirit Sword working together had produced an incomparable strike. However, at this moment, that ancient demon was undamaged and hovering in front of him.
Indeed, it was intact. It seemed as if his shocking blow was just a gentle breeze.
Lin Xuan had faced countless battles on his path to cultivation, encountering the most perilous situations. Yet now, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He couldn't match the opponent's strength!
Having already removed the restrictions from within himself, his power had clearly risen another level beyond Gao Gang’s base foundation stage, something that was not comparable to him at present.
Fleeing was the best option.
Lin Xuan made up his mind. Since he couldn’t defeat the enemy, quickly escaping was undoubtedly the wisest choice.
As for where to go, Lin Xuan didn't know now but would take it one step at a time. Xiao Jian should still be in the inner valley; while he wanted him to face this formidable opponent alone, he hid behind to reap the benefits. That idea wasn’t bad, but how could Lin Xuan let that happen?

Lin Xuan had made his decision.
With a wave of his sleeve, spiritual light flickered, and numerous talismans appeared above his palm—hundreds in number.

Raising his right hand, Lin Xuan pointed forward. A myriad of primordial energy rushed to that point, and "pfft," all the hundreds of spirit talismans ignited on their own.

Each talisman's release equaled an attack from a Cave Profound ancient demon. With several hundredsuperposition together, Lin Xuan didn't believe the opponent would dodge or avoid them—after all, many ants could still bite through an elephant.

The black-robed youth's face flashed with a hint of mockery as he raised his hand and pointed forward.

"Little Lin, how do you feel now? Are you starting to experience the fear of impending death? Relax; I won't let you die quickly. Since my avatar was destroyed by you, I must properly entertain you before I can relieve this inner anger."
The black-robed youth raised his head, and his white teeth seemed to glow with a faint light. However, what he said sent chills down one's spine.
In his eyes, Lin Xuan was now like a bird in a cage or a fish in a net—under his control.
Ancient demons were known for their vengeful nature.
But how could Lin Xuan just sit and wait to die? Despite the dire situation, he had faced more dangerous scenarios before. He wasn’t dead yet.
That punch did indeed hurt him badly, but with the True Spirit Armor manifested from Nine Heaven Divine Net protecting his body, coupled with his resilient physique akin to a peerless celestial spirit race, the injuries were far from fatal.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan calmed his surging primordial energy.
Raising his left hand, he flicked it, and an ancient-looking long spear appeared in his palm.
Infusing his mana into it, he spun and twirled the spear. "Sizzle," silver light shone as a brilliant pale silver blade appeared.
With this dance around him, something seemed to be cut through, and Lin Xuan's bindings vanished. To undo what was tied, one must tie it again; similarly, spatial techniques required spatial artifacts to break.
Lin Xuan swiftly used Nine Heaven Microsteps, now several thousand feet away.
The black-robed ancient demon was taken aback. He didn't expect Lin Xuan to escape his restraint. This guy was much more troublesome than he had imagined.
But that was fine; the gap in power was obvious—he couldn’t escape from his grasp.
Lin Xuan knew this too. With a wave of his sleeve, Ten Thousand Souls Tower flew out.
A creaking sound echoed as the treasure slowly opened, and a blinding white light entered his eyes. The light transformed into a vortex, buzzing loudly, and a blood-red insect cloud emerged.
Bloodfire Ants!
But the black-robed ancient demon's face was filled with disdain: "Little Lin, are you out of tricks? Using these demonic insects again; do you think they can still be effective against me?"
