liǎng míng yuán yīng chū qī de xiū shì shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yǐ zhì dùn ér lái ， jǐn jiē zhe ， zhī ya shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà kuǐ lěi de yí miàn ， jū rán dǎ kāi le ， liǎng míng xiū shì fǎng fú chéng mǎ chē yì bān de zuò le jìn qù ， zhè kuǐ lěi jū rán shì yóu xiū shì zhí jiē cāo kòng dì 。
两名元婴初期的修士身形一闪，已智遁而来，紧接着，吱呀声传入耳朵，那傀儡的一面，居然打开了，两名修士仿佛乘马车一般的坐了进去，这傀儡居然是由修士直接操控地。
Two cultivators at the early Essence Infant stage flashed past, and soon they had retreated. A creaking sound entered their ears as one of the puppets opened up, much like riding in a carriage. The two cultivators seemed to sit inside this puppet, which was directly controlled by them.
zhì yú nà zào páo lǎo zhě ， yě shì tóng yàng de dòng zuò 。
至于那皂袍老者，也是同样的动作。
The same action was performed by the old man in the black robe.
ér xuán miào de yí mù ， hái méi yǒu jié shù ， suí hòu sān jù guī ， lěi wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé ， jiù fǎng fú biàn xíng jīn gāng yì bān de zǔ hé qǐ lái le 。
而玄妙的一幕，还没有结束，随后三具傀，儡往中间一合，就仿佛变形金刚一般的组合起来了。
And then, an even more wondrous scene unfolded. Three puppets closed together and transformed into something akin to a Transformer.
sān jù kuǐ lěi hé ér wéi yī ， yī jù dà de jù yuán xíng zhuàng de kuǐ lěi chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
三具傀儡合而为一，一巨大的巨猿形状的傀儡出现在了视线里。
Three puppets combined into one giant ape-shaped puppet. The surface of this creature did not emit any spiritual pressure, but it was clearly no ordinary entity; the demon cultivator's face turned gloomy as well.
cǐ wù de biǎo miàn ， suī rán méi yǒu líng yā fā chū ， bù guò yī kàn jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， nà yāo xiū liǎn sè， yě yǒu xiē yīn mái qǐ lái le 。
此物的表面，虽然没有灵压发出，不过一看就非同小可，那妖修脸sè，也有些yīn霾起来了。
However, there was no intention to retreat. Instead, he swung his toothed club, and in an instant, several balls of light shot towards them, unknown secret techniques at work, raining down on them.
bù guò yě méi yǒu tuì què zhī yì ， ér shì yī wǔ láng yá bàng ， shà shí jiān ，jī shè chū shù tuán líng guāng ， yě bù zhī dào shì shén me mì shù ， jiù cháo zhe zhè biān hōng luò ér lái le 。
不过也没有退却之意，而是一舞狼牙棒，霎时间，jī射出数团灵光，也不知道是什么秘术，就朝着这边轰落而来了。
The combined puppet did not show weakness either. It opened its mouth wide, spewing out a grayish-white light column about ten feet thick, which was also wrapped with electric currents...
nà zǔ hé kuǐ lěi yě bù shì ruò ， dà kǒu yī zhāng ， dùn shí pēn chū yī dào zhí jìng zhàng xǔ cū de huī méngméng guāng zhù ， biǎo miàn hái chán rào ， zhe diàn de ”，…
那组合傀儡也不示弱，大口一张，顿时喷出一道直径丈许粗的灰méngméng光柱，表面还缠绕，着电的”，…
Boom!
hōng ！
轰！
In the next moment, the sound of an explosion filled their ears as they fought fiercely.
xià yī kè ， bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shuāng fāng dǎ dé shì rú huǒ rú tú 。
下一刻，爆裂声传入耳朵，双方打得是如火如荼。
Half an hour passed in a blink. The puppet and the demon cultivator still had not determined the outcome.
zhuǎn yǎn guò qù le xiǎo bàn gè shí chén de gōng fu ， kuǐ lěi yǔ nà yāo xiū ， yī jiù méi yǒu fēn chū shèng fù 。
转眼过去了小半个时辰的功夫，傀儡与那妖修，依旧没有分出胜负。
The strength of this puppet became clear: it was equivalent to an advanced Essence Infant stage cultivator.
zhè kuǐ lěi shí lì rú hé ， yě jiù yī mù liǎo rán le 。
这傀儡实力如何，也就一目了然了。
This was quite remarkable. After all, two early-stage Essence Infants plus one mid-stage Essence Infant's combined strength could not match that of a single late-stage cultivator; the gap in cultivation stages couldn't be bridged by mere numbers. However, at this moment, the combined puppet allowed them to remain evenly matched.
xiāng dāng yú yuán yīng hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
相当于元婴后期的修仙者。
Neither side had an advantage, and it was unclear how things would end.
zhè kě fēi cháng de liǎo de ， yào zhī dào ， yī míng yuán yīng zhōng qī jiā liǎng míng yuán yīng chū qī xiū shì de shí lì ， qí shí shì yuǎn dǎ bù guò yī míng hòu qī xiū shì dì ， jìng jiè de chā jù ， bú shì jiǎn dān de shù liàng jiù kě yǐ mí bǔ ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zǔ hé kuǐ lěi què ràng tā men kě yǐ bù fēn shèng fù 。
这可非常的了得，要知道，一名元婴中期加两名元婴初期修士的实力，其实是远打不过一名后期修士地，境界的差距，不是简单的数量就可以弥补，然而此时此刻，组合傀儡却让他们可以不分胜负。
Snow continued to fall from the sky as something unexpected suddenly happened without warning.
shuāng fāng shì jūn lì dí ， yě bù zhī dào zuì hòu huì shì zěn yàng yí gè liǎo jú 。
双方势均力敌，也不知道最后会是怎样一个了局。
Sssshh...
dà xuě yī jiù yóu tiān kōng zhōng piāo luò ， chū rén yì liào de yí mù tū rán háo méi zhēng zhào de fā shēng le 。
大雪依旧由天空中飘落，出人意料的一幕突然毫没征兆的发生了。
It sounded like a piece of cloth being torn apart. A low rumble of thunder filled their ears as the space around them began to tremble, not far from where they were fighting. Visible ripples spread outwards like water waves, and then lightning flashed, as if something incredible was tearing through the space.
cì a ”，…
刺啊”，…
"Space rift!"
fǎng fú bù jǐn bèi sī pò ， suí hòu ， dī chén de léi míng zhī shēng chuán rù le ěr duǒ ， jiù zài shuāng fāng zhēng dòu de bù yuǎn chù ， yuán běn píng jìng de kōng jiān tū rán huàng dòng qǐ lái le 。
仿佛布锦被撕破，随后，低沉的雷鸣之声传入了耳朵，就在双方争斗的不远处，原本平静的空间突然晃动起来了。
The demon cultivator sucked in a cold breath and hurriedly retreated. The few cultivators controlling the puppets also reacted similarly; such power wasn't something they could withstand. Although they didn't know why this space rift appeared suddenly, once they were caught inside, there would be no escape.
rú shuǐ bō yì bān ， ròu yǎn kě jiàn de bō wén ， xiàng zhe sì zhōu kuò sàn ， suí hòu diàn máng dà zuò ， kōng jiān fǎng fú bèi shén me bù kě sī yì de lì liàng gěi sī kāi le 。
如水bō一般，肉眼可见的bō纹，像着四周扩散，随后电芒大做，空间仿佛被什么不可思议的力量给撕开了。
They immediately maneuvered their puppets to retreat as well.
“ kōng jiān fèng xì ！”
“空间缝隙！”
In a moment, both sides stopped fighting and focused entirely on the space rift. The initial crack was only a few feet wide but rapidly grew several times larger with the flashing lightning. A blackish, shiny ball of lightning appeared in their sight.
nà yāo xiū dào xī le yī kǒu liáng qì ， lián máng chōu shēn xiàng hòu tuì bì ， cāo zòng kuǐ lěi de jǐ míng xiū xiān zhě ， biǎo qíng yě chà bu duō ， zhè zhǒng céng cì de lì liàng kě bú shì tā men néng gòu duì kàng de ， suī rán bù zhī dào kōng jiān fèng xì wèi hé huì tū rán chū xiàn zài zhè lǐ ， rán ér zì jǐ yí dàn bèi juǎn jìn qù ， nà shì jué wú xìng lǐ 。
那妖修倒吸了一口凉气，连忙抽身向后退避，操纵傀儡的几名修仙者，表情也差不多，这种层次的力量可不是他们能够对抗的，虽然不知道空间缝隙为何会突然出现在这里，然而自己一旦被卷进去，那是绝无幸理。
"What is this?"
yú shì yě lián máng cāo zòng kuǐ lěi tuì bì 。
于是也连忙操纵傀儡退避。
The demon cultivator swallowed hard; fear was evident on his face at that moment.
yī shí jiān ， shuāng fāng lián dòu fǎ dōu gù bù shàng le ， shí zhī ** de jīng lì ， dōu zhù yì zhe nà kōng jiān fèng xì 。
一时间，双方连斗法都顾不上了，十之**的精力，都注意着那空间缝隙。
Then, the ball of lightning condensed, revealing a young man inside.
yuán běn nà kōng jiān liè fèng bù guò chǐ xǔ ， dàn suí zhe diàn máng sì shè ， zhí jìng què zhòu rán zēng dà le shù bèi yǒu yú ， suí hòu yī wū hēi fà liàng de léi qiú chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
原本那空间裂缝不过尺许，但随着电芒四射，直径却骤然增大了数倍有余，随后一乌黑发亮的雷球出现在了视线里。
His appearance was unremarkable.
“ zhè jiū jìng shì shén me ？”
“这究竟是什么？”
At first glance, he seemed like an ordinary passerby. However, when the demon cultivator's divine sense swept over him, the expression on his face turned ashen.
nà dǎn dà bāo tiān de yāo xiū tūn le yī kǒu tuò mò ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， liǎn shàng zhǐ shèng xià le wèi jù zhī sè。
那胆大包天的妖修吞了一口唾沫，此时此刻，脸上只剩下了畏惧之sè。
The opponent's power was unfathomable; he couldn't discern the other's cultivation stage.
suí hòu nà léi qiú yī liǎn ， lǐ miàn jū rán chū xiàn le yī shào nián 。
随后那雷球一敛，里面居然出现了一少年。
Was it a senior at the Separation or even Profound Void level?
róng mào pǔ tōng yǐ jí 。
容貌普通以极。
This demon was somewhat frightened.
yī yǎn wàng guò qù ， jiù fǎng fú shì yī wú zú qīng zhòng de lù rén ér yǐ 。
一眼望过去，就仿佛是一无足轻重的路人而已。
Such an existence wasn't something they could handle. There was such a terrifying cultivator stepping into the Cold Spirit Ice Plains, and they must quickly inform Princess Xue Fox about this matter.
rán ér nà yāo xiū shén shí sǎo guò ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng què shì yǒu rú sǐ huī le 。
然而那妖修神识扫过，脸上的表情却是有如死灰了。
With thoughts racing in his mind, the demon was enveloped by icy winds and shot backward at incredible speed.
duì fāng de fǎ lì shēn bù kě cè ， tā sī háo fēn biàn bù chū duì fāng de jìng jiè rú hé 。
对方的法力深不可测，他丝毫分辨不出对方的境界如何。
Unfortunately, what seemed fast to others was slow as molasses to Lin Xuan. The gap between them was immense; after just completing the teleportation, Lin Xuan's head still felt fuzzy from the body strain of crossing realms. He hadn't fully recovered when he saw the demon fleeing and immediately reacted with a gesture.
nán dào shì lí hé ， shèn zhì shì dòng xuán jí bié de lǎo jiā huǒ ？
难道是离合，甚至是洞玄级别的老家伙？
This was undoubtedly an unconscious action. However, the unfortunate demon suffered a tragic fate. A sword energy shot out at incredible speed, far faster than the demon's escape attempt. It had no chance to dodge; it couldn't even scream before being completely reduced to dust, unaware of its own demise.
cǐ yāo yǒu xiē dǎn hán le 。
此妖有些胆寒了。
On the other side, three Essence Infant cultivators were stunned and stopped their attempts to flee. In this terrifying existence's hands, could they possibly escape?
zhè zhǒng cún zài kě bú shì zì jǐ néng gòu duì fù ， jū rán yǒu rú cǐ kě pà de xiū shì tà zú hán pò bīng yuán ， bì xū jǐn kuài jiāng zhè jiàn shì qíng gào zhī gěi xuě hú yī zú de xiāng ér gōng zhǔ 。
这种存在可不是自己能够对付，居然有如此可怕的修士踏足寒魄冰原，必须尽快将这件事情告知给雪狐一族的香儿公主。
Their hearts pounded as they waited for fate's judgment with trepidation.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， cǐ yāo lì kè bèi yī zhèn bīng fēng bāo guǒ ， yǐ jí kuài de sù dù xiàng hòu jī shè 。
脑海中念头转过，此妖立刻被一阵冰风包裹，以极快的速度向后jī射。
They regretted not coming here in the first place to catch a little snow fox; that way, they wouldn't have encountered such a formidable stranger.
kě xī ， zhè jí kuài ， yě shì xiāng duì lái shuō 。
可惜，这极快，也是相对来说。
The three cultivators were so remorseful their intestines turned green. However, it mattered not whether in the cultivation world or the secular realm, there was no such thing as a do-over. Fortunately for them, Lin Xuan had already recovered from the teleportation discomfort.
fàng zài lín xuān de yǎn zhōng ， nà jiù màn dé yī tā hú tú ， bì jìng ， shuāng fāng de chā jù ， jiǎn zhí bù kě yǐ dào lǐ ， cǐ shí ， gāng gāng wán chéng chuán sòng de lín xuān ， tóu nǎo hái yǒu xiē mí hú ， bì jìng ， shì jiè miàn jiān de chuān suō ， jiù suàn duì tā lái shuō ， yě yī jiù huì zào chéng yí dìng de shēn tǐ fù dān de 。
放在林轩的眼中，那就慢得一塌糊涂，毕竟，双方的差距，简直不可以道里，此时，刚刚完成传送的林轩，头脑还有些mí糊，毕竟，是界面间的穿梭，就算对他来说，也依旧会造成一定的身体负担的。
Rubbing his head, Lin Xuan thought, "You guys are still sitting inside that puppet; don't you want me to drag you out?"
gāng gāng chū lái ， hái méi huǎn guò jìn ， tóu nǎo mímí hū hū ， zhè yāo zú táo pǎo de dòng zuò ， jiù bèi lín xuān xià yì shí de rèn wéi shì dí yì le 。
刚刚出来，还没缓过劲，头脑mímí糊糊，这妖族逃跑的动作，就被林轩下意识的认为是敌意了。
Lin Xuan's voice lacked any worldly warmth, but the three cultivators shivered involuntarily upon hearing it.
yú shì ， tā yī huī shǒu 。
于是，他一挥手。
The back door of the puppet opened, and the three cultivators flew out.
zhè jué duì shì bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de xià yì shí dòng zuò ， rán ér ， nà dǎo méi de yāo zú ， què bēi jù le 。
这绝对是百分之百的下意识动作，然而，那倒霉的妖族，却悲剧了。
This was a helpless choice given their gap in strength; Lin Xuan could easily destroy them with just a flick of his wrist.
yī dào jiàn qì jī shè ér chū ， yǐ bǐ nà yāo xiū táo pǎo kuài bǎi bèi de sù dù zhuī le shàng lái ， tā duǒ wú kě duǒ ， lián cǎn jiào shēng dōu lái bù jí fā chū ， jiù bèi chè dǐ de jiǎo wèi le fěn mò ， shèn zhì lián zì jǐ shì zěn me yǔn luò de dōu bìng bù qīng chǔ 。
一道剑气jī射而出，以比那妖修逃跑快百倍的速度追了上来，它躲无可躲，连惨叫声都来不及发出，就被彻底的剿为了粉末，甚至连自己是怎么陨落的都并不清楚。
Although they didn't know where this old monster came from, they dared not provoke him, so they obediently followed orders.
lìng yī biān ， sān míng yuán yīng qī xiū shì yě xià dāi le ， dùn shí tíng zhǐ le zhǔn bèi táo pǎo de dòng zuò ， zài zhè kě pà cún zài de shǒu lǐ ， zì jǐ yǒu jī huì táo me ？
另一边，三名元婴期修士也吓呆了，顿时停止了准备逃跑的动作，在这可怕存在的手里，自己有机会逃么？
Unlike the others' anxiety, Lin Xuan's face showed some joy. Teleportation was random, and he hadn't expected such good luck; upon arriving, he encountered several cultivators.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā men de xīn tiào dōu zài dǎ gǔ 。
此时此刻，他们的心跳都在打鼓。
This allowed him to gather information about this realm. After all, his visit to the Ice Sea Realm had been rushed, and he barely had time to learn more about its situation. The silver-eyed girl only knew that they might find a rare plant in this realm for cultivating inner bodies but was unaware of other details!
Two cultivators at the early Essence Infant stage flashed past, and soon they had retreated. A creaking sound entered their ears as one of the puppets opened up, much like riding in a carriage. The two cultivators seemed to sit inside this puppet, which was directly controlled by them.
The same action was performed by the old man in the black robe.
