第两千四百八十四章五毒碧蚕蛊
Chapter 2484: Five Poison Green Silkworm Pests
chú le è huǒ tóu tuó fǎn yìng jiào màn , qí tā jǐ rén wú bù fā xiàn le bù tuǒ 。
除了恶火头陀反应较慢,其他几人无不发现了不妥。
The large man in brocade robes let out a sudden roar, and his body was enveloped by protective spiritual light. However, it was too late; the next moment, green light flashed beside him, and his protective spirit shield seemed to be torn like fabric. A terrifying ghostly claw shot out without warning. The claw had sharp fingertips and moved incredibly fast.
“ bù hǎo !”
“不好!”
It pierced through his back, causing blood to gush out in torrents. Even a Core Profound cultivator would surely die from such severe injuries; unless he had a Reviving Talisman, which was impossible here.
jǐn páo dà hàn yī shēng bào hē , hún shēn de hù tǐ líng guāng hōng rán bó fā ér chū , rán ér yǐ jīng wǎn le , xià yī kè , shēn cè lǜ máng yī shǎn , suí hòu tā de hù tǐ líng dùn , jiù fǎng fú bù jǐn yì bān bèi sī kāi , yī zhī kě bù de guǐ zhǎo háo wú zhēng zhào de cuān chū , cǐ zhǎo shí zhǐ jiān lì , sù dù gèng shì kuài jí 。
锦袍大汉一声暴喝,浑身的护体灵光轰然勃发而出,然而已经晚了,下一刻,身侧绿芒一闪,随后他的护体灵盾,就仿佛布锦一般被撕开,一只可怖的鬼爪毫无征兆的蹿出,此爪十指尖利,速度更是快极。
The respected elder in brocade robes widened his eyes with venomous expression. Although he anticipated something amiss, he did not expect the other party to be so ruthless. Why did they want to kill him?
yī xià cóng tā de hòu bèi chā rù , xiān xuè kuáng yǒng ér chū , jiù suàn shì dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě , shòu zhè yàng de zhòng shāng ,ròu shēn yě tiě dìng yǔn luò , chú fēi tā yǒu qǐ sǐ huí shēng fú , rán ér nà shì bù kě néng de 。
一下从他的后背chā入,鲜血狂涌而出,就算是洞玄期修仙者,受这样的重伤,ròu身也铁定陨落,除非他有起死回生符,然而那是不可能的。
But this no longer mattered.
jǐn páo zūn zhě dèng dà le yǎn zhū , biǎo qíng mǎn shì yuàn dú , tā suī rán liào dào le bù tuǒ , yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào duì fāng xīn hěn shǒu là dào le rú cǐ dì bù , tā jiū jìng wèi shén me xià shā shǒu ne ?
锦袍尊者瞪大了眼珠,表情满是怨毒,他虽然料到了不妥,也没有想到对方心狠手辣到了如此地步,他究竟为什么下杀手呢?
A flash of spiritual light revealed an inch-high元婴 floating above his head, clutching a round bead as big as a dragon's eye. He frantically tried to find a way out.
bù guò zhè yǐ jīng bú zhòng yào le 。
不过这已经不重要了。
Unfortunately, it was in vain.
líng máng yī shǎn , yī cùn xǔ gāo de yuán yīng fú xiàn zài le qí tóu dǐng shàng miàn , shǒu zhōng bào zhe yī lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de yuán zhū , huāng huāng zhāng zhāng de xiǎng yào xún zhǎo tuō shēn zhī chù 。
灵芒一闪,一寸许高的元婴浮现在了其头顶上面,手中抱着一龙眼大小的圆珠,慌慌张张的想要寻找脱身之处。
If the other party had set up such a trap, how could he possibly escape?
kě xī zhù dìng shì tú láo de 。
可惜注定是徒劳的。
A large net appeared before their eyes.
duì fāng jì rán fèi jìn xīn jī bù xià le zhè ge jú , zěn me kě néng fàng tā lí qù ?
对方既然费尽心机布下了这个局,怎么可能放他离去?
Despite using instantaneous teleportation, the元婴 was still helpless against this heavenly web and crashed into it. The禁制 of that treasure then immobilized him.
yī zhāng dà wǎng chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
一张大网出现在了视线里。
"Why?"
yuán yīng jǐn guǎn shī shùn yí zhī shù , rán ér miàn duì zhè tiān luó dì wǎng yě shì tú láo de , yī tóu zhuàng le jìn qù , suí hòu nà bǎo wù de jìn zhì fā dòng , ràng tā dòng tán bù dòng 。
元婴尽管施瞬移之术,然而面对这天罗地网也是徒劳的,一头撞了进去,随后那宝物的禁制发动,让他动弹不动。
The respected elder in brocade robes roared with fury, exuding malevolence. He had no grudge or recent enmity; in fact, he could say their relationship was quite good. Why would he deliberately frame him?
“ wèi shén me ?”
“为什么?”
The elderly man with white hair smiled without speaking.
jǐn páo zūn zhě chēng mù dà hē , hún shēn shàng xià lì qì pēn bó , tā zì wèn yǔ duì fāng wǎng rì wú yuàn , jìn rì wú chóu , shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō , jiāo qíng hái bú cuò , tā wèi shén me yào chǔ xīn jī lǜ de xiàn hài zì jǐ ?
锦袍尊者瞠目大喝,浑身上下戾气喷薄,他自问与对方往日无怨,近日无仇,甚至可以说,交情还不错,他为什么要处心积虑的陷害自己?
On the other side, similar cries of agony and shouts echoed as the fate of the evil fire monk was almost the same. The old woman with white hair acted almost simultaneously.
fàn xìng lǎo zhě xiào ér bù yǔ 。
范姓老者笑而不语。
They had agreed from the start.
lìng yī biān , tóng yàng chuán lái cǎn jiào yǔ bào hē , è huǒ tóu tuó de xià chǎng yě chà bu duō , bái fà lǎo yù jī hū shì zài tóng yī shí jiān chū shǒu de 。
另一边,同样传来惨叫与暴喝,恶火头陀的下场也差不多,白发老妪几乎是在同一时间出手的。
Alas, the evil fire monk's strength might be the strongest among these five Core Profound cultivators, but he still couldn't defend against a sneak attack. They both perished in their flesh, while his元婴 was bound by the other party.
tā men liǎ cóng yī kāi shǐ jiù yuē hǎo le 。
他们俩从一开始就约好了。
"You... You two, what are you doing?"
kě lián è huǒ tóu tuó de shí lì huò xǔ shì zhè wǔ míng dòng xuán qī xiū shì zhōng zuì qiáng de yí gè , rán ér miàn duì tōu xí , yě méi yǒu duō shǎo huán shǒu zhī lì 。
可怜恶火头陀的实力或许是这五名洞玄期修士中最强的一个,然而面对偷袭,也没有多少还手之力。
The woman dressed in court attire was shocked and stepped back several feet. She didn't dare to retreat towards the passage; such an action would reveal too many flaws and make her vulnerable to another ambush. Her strength was already weaker compared to others, so she dared not risk it.
tóng yàng shì ròu shēn yǔn luò , yuán yīng bèi duì fāng shù fù 。
同样是ròu身陨落,元婴被对方束缚。
"Mrs. Yi, if you surrender peacefully, we can spare you much suffering."
“ nǐ …… nǐ men liǎng gè yào zuò shén me ?”
“你……你们两个要做什么?”
The elderly man with white hair still wore a pleasant expression but now looked sinister.
gōng zhuāng měi fù dà jīng shī sè, sōu de yī xià tuì kāi , jù lí liǎng rén yǒu shù zhàng zhī yuǎn , rán ér què bù gǎn fǎn shēn táo wǎng tōng dào wài miàn , nà yàng , huì lù chū jué dà de pò zhàn , fēi bèi duì fāng gěi tōu xí bù kě , yǔ qí tā jǐ rén xiāng bǐ , tā de shí lì yuán běn jiù piān ruò , cǐ shí cǐ kè , gèng shì bù gǎn mào xiǎn le 。
宫装美fù大惊失sè,嗖的一下退开,距离两人有数丈之远,然而却不敢返身逃往通道外面,那样,会lù出绝大的破绽,非被对方给偷袭不可,与其他几人相比,她的实力原本就偏弱,此时此刻,更是不敢冒险了。
"Brother, at this point, why bother talking? Whether or not she surrenders, she's already in our grasp."
“ yì fū rén , nǐ rú guǒ guāi guāi de shù shǒu jiù fù , hái kě yǐ shǎo shòu xǔ duō kǔ chǔ 。”
“易夫人,你如果乖乖的束手就缚,还可以少受许多苦楚。”
The old woman straightened and her face was extremely cold.
fàn xìng lǎo zhě yī jiù shì hé yán yuè sè, rán ér rú jīn zài kàn tā zhè fù miàn róng , què ràng rén jué de zhēng níng yì cháng le 。
范姓老者依旧是和颜悦sè,然而如今再看他这副面容,却让人觉得狰狞异常了。
"What? You are fellow cultivators?"
“ shī xiōng , dōu dào le zhè yī bù , hái hé bì yǔ tā luó suo , bù guǎn tā shù bù shù shǒu jiù fù , dōu yǐ jīng shì wǒ men de náng zhōng wù 。”
“师兄,都到了这一步,还何必与她罗嗦,不管她束不束手就缚,都已经是我们的囊中物。”
The woman dressed in court attire was shocked. She turned to Lin Xuan: "Friend Lin, we can only hope to carve a bloody path together now. Ah..."
nà bái fà lǎo yù zhàn zhí le shēn tǐ , liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng gèng shì lěng mò yǐ jí 。
那白发老妪站直了身体,脸上的表情更是冷漠以极。
Before she could finish, she suddenly cried out in pain, clutching her head as if suffering immensely. A layer of green light enveloped her forearm and face, as if magical insects were crawling beneath her skin.
“ shén me , nǐ men shì tóng mén ?”
“什么,你们是同门?”
The old woman with white hair cast a spell, emitting strange incantations from her mouth.
gōng zhuāng měi fù dà jīng shī sè, suí hòu chōng lín xuān zhuǎn guò tóu lú :“ lín dào yǒu , shì dào rú jīn , wǒ men zhǐ yǒu lián shǒu , cái yǒu wàng shā chū yī tiáo xuè lù , a ……”
宫装美fù大惊失sè,随后冲林轩转过头颅:“林道友,事到如今,我们只有联手,才有望杀出一条血路,啊……”
"What have you done to me?"
huà yīn wèi luò , tā tū rán yī shēng tòng hū , yǐ shǒu bào zhe tóu , mǎn liǎn de tòng kǔ , tóng shí , cǐ nǚ de xiǎo bì , liǎn kǒng dōu bèi yī céng yíng yíng de lǜ guāng bāo guǒ , jī fū xià miàn , gèng fǎng fú yǒu mó chóng pá dòng shì de 。
话音未落,她突然一声痛呼,以手抱着头,满脸的痛苦,同时,此女的小臂,脸孔都被一层莹莹的绿光包裹,肌肤下面,更仿佛有魔虫爬动似的。
"Haha, nothing much. Do you remember the Green Heart Pill you asked for several months ago?"
ér nà bái fà lǎo yù , zé dān shǒu qiā jué , yǐn yǐn yǒu gǔ guài de zhòu yǔ shēng , cóng tā de zuǐ bā lǐ fā chū 。
而那白发老妪,则单手掐诀,隐隐有古怪的咒语声,从她的嘴巴里发出。
"What? You tampered with the pills."
“ nǐ …… nǐ duì wǒ zuò le shén me ?”
“妳……妳对我做了什么?”
"It's not really tampering; I just added some Five Poison Green Silkworm Pests to this pill," she said coldly.
“ hē hē , yě méi yǒu shén me , zhǐ shì yì dào yǒu kě hái jì de , shù yuè qián zhǎo wǒ tǎo yào de nà kē bì xīn dān me ?”
“呵呵,也没有什么,只是易道友可还记得,数月前找我讨要的那颗碧心丹么?”
"What?"
“ shén me , nǐ zài dān yào shàng zuò le shǒu jiǎo 。”
“什么,妳在丹药上做了手脚。”
The woman dressed in court attire was terrified. She knew well the power of the Five Poison Green Silkworm Pests, but she had been too careless. Who would have thought that a friend they trusted so much would suddenly betray them?
“ yě tán bù shàng shén me shǒu jiǎo , wǒ zhǐ shì zài cǐ dān yào de jī chǔ shàng , jiā shàng le yì diǎn wǔ dú bì cán gǔ bà le 。” bái fà lǎo yù yīn lěng de shuō 。
“也谈不上什么手脚,我只是在此丹药的基础上,加上了一点五毒碧蚕蛊罢了。”白发老妪yīn冷的说。
"Enough. Out of past favors, I don't want to see you suffer too much. Surrender your元婴!"
“ shén me ?”
“什么?”
Before her words were finished, a dragon-headed cane shot forward from her hand.
gōng zhuāng měi fù jīng hài yù jué , wǔ dú bì cán gǔ de lì hài , tā dāng rán xīn zhōng yǒu shù , tài dà yì le , bù guò yě bù néng guài tā cū xīn , shuí néng xiǎng dào , yí xiàng jiāo hǎo de péng yǒu , huì tū rán suàn jì zì jǐ ne ?
宫装美fù惊骇yù绝,五毒碧蚕蛊的厉害,她当然心中有数,太大意了,不过也不能怪她粗心,谁能想到,一向交好的朋友,会突然算计自己呢?
"Ahh!"
“ hǎo le , kàn zài yǐ wǎng de jiāo qíng shàng , lǎo shēn yě bù xiǎng kàn zhe nǐ tài tòng kǔ , guāi guāi de jiāng yuán yīng jiāo chū lái ba !”
“好了,看在以往的交情上,老身也不想看着妳太痛苦,乖乖的将元婴交出来吧!”
A cry of agony echoed as the woman in court attire fell down, unconscious.
bái fà lǎo yù huà yīn wèi luò , shǒu zhōng lóng tóu guǎi zhàng xiàng qián diǎn chū 。
白发老妪话音未落,手中龙头拐杖向前点出。
Spiritual light flashed, and an identical-looking元婴 appeared but was also dazed.
“ a !”
“啊!”
The old woman with white hair's face showed a sinister expression. She waved her sleeves, sending out a grayish light that enveloped the元婴 before pulling it back.
yī shēng cǎn hū , suí hòu nà gōng zhuāng měi fù shēn bù yóu jǐ de wǎng xià luò , pēng de yī shēn shuāi zài dì shàng , yùn guò qù le 。
一声惨呼,随后那宫装美fù身不由己的往下落,嘭的一身摔在地上,晕过去了。
The entire process seemed complicated but was completed in a very short time. Then she turned to the elderly man with white hair and surrounded Lin Xuan from both sides.
líng guāng yī shǎn , yí miàn róng kù sì tā de yuán yīng chū xiàn , bù guò yě shì hūn mí de 。
灵光一闪,一面容酷似她的元婴出现,不过也是昏mí的。
"You..."
bái fà lǎo yù de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī yīn sēn zhī sè, xiù páo yī fú , yī dào huī sè de guāng xiá fēi lüè ér chū , jiāng nà yuán yīng guǒ zhù , rán hòu gěi lā huí lái le 。
白发老妪的脸上闪过一丝yīn森之sè,袖袍一拂,一道灰sè的光霞飞掠而出,将那元婴裹住,然后给拉回来了。
Lin Xuan's face showed extreme panic, though this expression was entirely feigned. At this critical moment, why did he still pretend? He had his own reasons for doing so.
zhěng gè guò chéng shuō qǐ lái fán fù , qí shí shì zài hěn duǎn de shí jiān nèi jiù wán chéng le , suí hòu tā yǔ fàn xìng lǎo zhě huí guò tóu , chéng zuǒ yòu jiā jī zhī shì jiāng lín xuān gěi bāo wéi le 。
整个过程说起来繁复,其实是在很短的时间内就完成了,随后她与范姓老者回过头,呈左右夹击之势将林轩给包围了。
In any case, it wasn't time to reveal his strength yet.
“ nǐ men ……”
“你们……”
"Friend, will you surrender your元婴 or prepare to endure some pain?"
lín xuān de liǎn shàng yě mǎn shì jīng huāng zhī sè, dāng rán , zhè biǎo qíng wán quán shì zhuāng chū lái de , zhì yú , rú jīn yǐ dào le tú qióng bǐ xiàn de yī kè , tā wèi shén me hái yào yǎn xì , nà dāng rán , yě shì yǒu lín xuān zì jǐ yī fān kǎo liáng de 。
林轩的脸上也满是惊慌之sè,当然,这表情完全是装出来的,至于,如今已到了图穷匕见的一刻,他为什么还要演戏,那当然,也是有林轩自己一番考量的。
The elderly man with white hair smiled. His fake expression now seemed even more repulsive.
zǒng zhī , xiàn zài hái bú dào xiǎn lù shí lì de shí kè 。
总之,现在还不到显lù实力的时刻。
Lin Xuan's face showed extreme panic as if he was carefully controlling his emotions. He took a deep breath: "From the beginning, you planned this; I admit defeat. But do you want my元婴..."
“ dào yǒu shì guāi guāi de jiāng yuán yīng jiāo chū , hái shì zhǔn bèi chī yī fān kǔ ?”
“道友是乖乖的将元婴交出,还是准备吃一番苦?”
Lin Xuan said with a tragic smile: "Don't dream."
fàn xìng lǎo zhě xiào mī mī de shuō , shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù , tā nà xū wěi de biǎo qíng kàn shàng qù yuè fā de lìng rén zēng wù 。
范姓老者笑眯眯的说,事情到了这一步,他那虚伪的表情看上去越发的令人憎恶。
"Bad luck, he wants to self-destruct!"
lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng , zé jīng huāng yǐ jí , kàn shàng qù , tā sì hū zài xiǎo xīn kòng zhì zhe zì jǐ de qíng xù , shēn shēn de xī le kǒu qì :“ dào yǒu cóng yī kāi shǐ jiù suàn jì wǒ men , lín mǒu rèn zāi le , bù guò nǐ xiǎng yào wǒ de yuán yīng me ……”
林轩脸上的表情,则惊慌以极,看上去,他似乎在小心控制着自己的情绪,深深的吸了口气:“道友从一开始就算计我们,林某认栽了,不过你想要我的元婴么……”
The elderly man with white hair reacted quickly and retreated. Stopping was too late now; they had to protect themselves. After all, the self-destruction of an equal-level cultivator wasn't something to joke about.
lín xuān shuō dào zhè lǐ , liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn bēi zhuàng de xiào yì :“ bié zuò mèng le ……”
林轩说到这里,脸上lù出几分悲壮的笑意:“别做梦了……”
"F*ck it, even a wise person can make one mistake. I didn't expect this kid to have the courage for self-destruction."
“ bù hǎo , tā yào zì bào !”
“不好,他要自爆!”
The elderly man with white hair was extremely frustrated but couldn't do anything at that moment. He flashed and stood beside the old woman with white hair, then waved his sleeves to summon several defensive treasures.
fàn xìng lǎo zhě de fǎn yìng yě jí wéi xùn sù , sōu de yī xià xiàng hòu tuì chū , zhè shí hòu zǔ zhǐ yǐ jīng lái bù jí le , wéi yǒu xiǎng bàn fǎ fáng hù , bì jìng tóng jiē xiū shì de zì bào kě bú shì shuō xiào de , yí bù xiǎo xīn bèi juǎn jìn qù , jiù shì yǔn luò de jié jú
范姓老者的反应也极为迅速,嗖的一下向后退出,这时候阻止已经来不及了,唯有想办法防护,毕竟同阶修士的自爆可不是说笑的,一不小心被卷进去,就是陨落的结局
The old woman with white hair did the same. Only by working together could they possibly survive this crisis. Various colored lights shone brightly around them, creating multiple protective barriers.
“ gāi sǐ , zhì zhě qiān lǜ bì yǒu yī shī , méi xiǎng dào zhè xiǎo zi , jū rán yǒu zì bào de yǒng qì 。”
“该死,智者千虑必有一失,没想到这小子,居然有自爆的勇气。”
However, even with these measures, they still didn't have full confidence; it was merely hoping for the best and leaving the rest to fate.
fàn xìng lǎo zhě ào nǎo bù yǐ , dàn zhè shí hòu , yù mèn shì méi yǒu yòng chǔ dì , tā shēn xíng yī shǎn , yǐ tuì dào le bái fà lǎo yù de páng biān , suí hòu xiù páo yī fú , jì chū le shù jiàn fáng yù de bǎo wù 。
范姓老者懊恼不已,但这时候,郁闷是没有用处地,他身形一闪,已退到了白发老妪的旁边,随后袖袍一拂,祭出了数件防御的宝物。
In the next moment, a deafening roar filled their ears as fierce gales spread...
bái fà lǎo yù yě shì tóng yàng de dòng zuò , cǐ shí zhǐ yǒu liǎng rén lián shǒu , cái yǒu kě néng chēng guò zhè wēi jī de , yī shí , gè sè guāng máng yào yǎn cì mù , zài liǎng rén shēn biān , chū xiàn le bù xià shí gè gè zhǒng yán sè de bǎo hù mó 。
白发老妪也是同样的动作,此时只有两人联手,才有可能撑过这危机的,一时,各sè光芒耀眼刺目,在两人身边,出现了不下十个各种颜sè的保护膜。
Lin Xuan really self-destructed. The self-destruction of a Core Profound cultivator was truly formidable. The outermost protective barrier was torn like paper.
rán ér jiù suàn zhè yàng , liǎng rén yī jiù méi yǒu shí zú de bǎ wò , bù guò shì jìn rén shì , ér tīng tiān mìng le 。
然而就算这样,两人依旧没有十足的把握,不过是尽人事,而听天命了。
The large shield that followed turned into scrap under such power.
xià yī kè , hōng de yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ , gāng fēng sì shè……
下一刻,轰的一声巨响传入耳朵,罡风四shè……
Layer by layer, the defenses were broken down, but fortunately, the terrifying force gradually weakened.
Chapter 2484: Five Poison Green Silkworm Pests
"Bad luck!"
The large man in brocade robes let out a sudden roar, and his body was enveloped by protective spiritual light. However, it was too late; the next moment, green light flashed beside him, and his protective spirit shield seemed to be torn like fabric. A terrifying ghostly claw shot out without warning. The claw had sharp fingertips and moved incredibly fast.

A large net appeared before their eyes.

The old woman straightened and her face was extremely cold.
"What? You are fellow cultivators?"
The woman dressed in court attire was shocked. She turned to Lin Xuan: "Friend Lin, we can only hope to carve a bloody path together now. Ah..."
Before she could finish, she suddenly cried out in pain, clutching her head as if suffering immensely. A layer of green light enveloped her forearm and face, as if magical insects were crawling beneath her skin.
The old woman with white hair cast a spell, emitting strange incantations from her mouth.
