Chapter 2543: Ingenious Plan to Eliminate Demons
ér nà jǐ tóu è hǔ bìng méi yǒu bà shǒu de yì tú , zhuǎn guò tóu lú , zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu , jiān lì de liáo yá shǎn shuò zhe yào mù de guāng zé , yī dào dào zhí jìng chǐ xǔ de zhì bái guāng zhù cóng tā men de dà kǒu zhōng pēn bó ér chū 。
而那几头恶虎并没有罢手的意图,转过头颅,张开血盆大口,尖利的獠牙闪烁着耀目的光泽,一道道直径尺许的炙白光柱从牠们的大口中喷薄而出。
The several fierce tigers showed no intention of stopping. They turned their heads, opened their bloody mouths, and revealed sharp fangs that glinted with a dazzling light. A dozen or so white-hot beams of light, each about a foot in diameter, shot out from their mouths.
mó yún zhōng de shēng yīn dài zhe jǐ fēn chà yì , sì hū bù xiāng xìn zì jǐ huàn huà chū de fēng lóng zhè me kuài jiù bèi jī pò , yī zhèn huì sè nán míng de zhòu yǔ shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ , mó guāng dà zuò , cóng nà xuán wō zhōng fēi chū shàng bǎi gè qī hēi rú mò de gǔ wén lái le 。
魔云中的声音带着几分诧异,似乎不相信自己幻化出的风龙这么快就被击破,一阵晦涩难明的咒语声传入耳朵,魔光大做,从那漩涡中飞出上百个漆黑如墨的古文来了。
A voice from the demon cloud sounded surprised, seemingly unable to believe that its wind dragon had been broken so quickly. An obscure incantation echoed through his ears as hundreds of ancient black characters flew out from the vortex.
zhè xiē gǔ wén yī fú xiàn ér chū , lì kè yíng fēng kuáng zhǎng , rán hòu huà wèi wú shù mó guāng yíng xiàng le qián fāng 。
这些古文一浮现而出,立刻迎风狂长,然后化为无数魔光迎向了前方。
These characters immediately grew with the wind and rushed towards the front.
hōng lōng lóng !
轰隆隆!
Boom!
shà shí jiān , bào liè shēng mì rú yǔ diǎn , wǔ yán liù sè de líng máng jiāo zhī bù duàn , hěn kuài , nà xiē guāng zhù jiù cùn cùn suì liè le kāi lái , suí hòu , gǔ wén suǒ huà de guāng tuán xiàng è hǔ de běn tǐ fēi le guò lái 。
霎时间,爆裂声密如雨点,五颜六色的灵芒交织不断,很快,那些光柱就寸寸碎裂了开来,随后,古文所化的光团像恶虎的本体飞了过来。
The sound of explosions filled the air like raindrops. The colorful spiritual light interwove continuously, and soon, those beams shattered into pieces. Then, the light balls transformed from the ancient characters flew back toward the tigers.
lái shì měng è , dàn nà xiē lǎo hǔ yě méi yǒu fēn háo wèi jù shén me , zhèn ěr yù lóng de páo xiāo shēng bù jué yú ěr duǒ , tā men yě yáo tóu bǎi wěi de yī pū , yī tóu jiù zhā rù le nà xiē gǔ wén de lǐ miàn 。
来势猛恶,但那些老虎也没有分毫畏惧什么,震耳欲聋的咆哮声不绝于耳朵,牠们也摇头摆尾的一扑,一头就扎入了那些古文的里面。
Despite their ferocity, the tigers showed no fear. Roaring loudly, they pounced into the ancient characters.
dà kǒu tūn shì , yī dào dào xuán fēng cóng nà jǐ tóu měng hǔ de shēn shàng píng kōng ér qǐ , dàn nà xiē mó jiè de gǔ wén yě bú shì chī sù dì , shuāng fāng huǒ bìng de jié guǒ , què shì tóng guī yú jìn le 。
大口吞噬,一道道旋风从那几头猛虎的身上凭空而起,但那些魔界的古文也不是吃素地,双方火并的结果,却是同归于尽了。
The tigers devoured with ease as whirlwinds emerged from their bodies. However, these ancient characters were not to be underestimated; in the end, both sides perished together.
líng xū zhēn rén què shì bù yǐ wéi yì , gāng cái bù guò shì tā xiǎo shì niú dāo ér yǐ , yǎn zhōng yì máng yī shǎn , tā shǒu zhōng de fú chén yòu rú tóng gǎn wén zi bān shuǎi xiàng le yī biān 。
灵虚真人却是不以为意,刚才不过是他小试牛刀而已,眼中异芒一闪,他手中的拂尘又如同赶蚊子般甩像了一边。
Reclusive Spirit True Man was indifferent. He had only tested his skills lightly earlier. A glint of strange light flashed in his eyes as his whisk broom waved like a fly swatter at the side.
jiù zhè me yí gè jiǎn dān de dòng zuò , fù jìn de tiān dì yuán qì jū rán rú tóng bèi shén me xī yǐn yì bān , yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de sù dù fēng yōng le guò lái , suí hòu lì máng yī shǎn , shàng bǎi kǒu jīng yíng yì cháng de jiàn guāng fú xiàn zài le yǎn qián 。
就这么一个简单的动作,附近的天地元气居然如同被什么吸引一般,以肉眼可见的速度蜂拥了过来,随后厉芒一闪,上百口晶莹异常的剑光浮现在了眼前。
With such a simple action, nearby primordial qi rushed towards him at an incredible speed. Then, a flash of sharp swordlight appeared before them.
líng xū zhēn rén shǒu zhōng fú chén xiàng qián miàn zhè me yī zhǐ , dùn shí , nà xiē jīng yíng jiàn guāng qīng qīng yī chàn , zhěng gè tiān kōng sì hū dōu biàn dé sēn hán , sōu sōu shēng dà zuò , xiàng zhe qián fāng de mó yún zǎn cì guò qù le 。 quán wén zì wú guǎng gào
灵虚真人手中拂尘像前面这么一指,顿时,那些晶莹剑光轻轻一颤,整个天空似乎都变得森寒,嗖嗖声大做,向着前方的魔云攒刺过去了。 全文字无广告
Reclusive Spirit True Man pointed his whisk broom, and the shimmering swordlights trembled slightly. The entire sky seemed to grow cold as they shot forward toward the demon cloud.
nà shēng shì dàng zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě , sì hū zhěng gè tiān kōng dōu bèi zhè xiē jīng yíng de jiàn guāng bù mǎn le 。
那声势当真是非同小可,似乎整个天空都被这些晶莹的剑光布满了。
The scene was truly formidable; it seemed that the entire sky was filled with these shimmering swordlights.
nà mó yún jí sù fān yǒng , sì hū yě tòu chū nà me yī sī zào dòng , suí hòu fù jìn de mó qì jù jí zài yì qǐ , yī jù dà de dùn pái fú xiàn zài bàn kōng lǐ 。
那魔云急速翻涌,似乎也透出那么一丝躁动,随后附近的魔气聚集在一起,一巨大的盾牌浮现在半空里。
The demon cloud surged violently, showing signs of agitation. Nearby demonic qi gathered together, forming a large shield in mid-air.
cǐ dùn pái dūn shí hòu zhòng , yī kàn fáng yù lì jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě , rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè , què méi yǒu bàn fēn yòng tú , zài nà jīng yíng de jiàn guāng xià yǒu rú zhǐ hú , bèi qīng yì sī chě chéng suì piàn le 。
此盾牌敦实厚重,一看防御力就非同小可,然而此时此刻,却没有半分用途,在那晶莹的剑光下有如纸糊,被轻易撕扯成碎片了。
This shield was solid and heavy, clearly indicating its formidable defensive capabilities. However, under the shimmering swordlights, it seemed as fragile as paper, easily torn apart into pieces.
“ yú chǔn de jiā huo , yǐ wéi qū qū mó qì , jiù kě yǐ dǐ dǎng lǎo fū de huà yǐng yù jiàn zhī shù , hé !”
“愚蠢的家伙,以为区区魔气,就可以抵挡老夫的化影御剑之术,合!”
"Foolish creature! Thinking that mere demonic qi can withstand my Illusory Shadow Sword Technique? Combine!"
zhēn rén shǒu zhōng de fú chén zài cì xiàng qián miàn diǎn chū , nà xiē xī lì yì cháng de jiàn guāng guǒ rán wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé , shù yǐ bǎi jì de jiàn guāng xiāo shī le , qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī bǐng qíng tiān jù jiàn yìng rù yǎn lián 。
真人手中的拂尘再次像前面点出,那些犀利异常的剑光果然往中间一合,数以百计的剑光消失了,取而代之的是一柄擎天巨剑映入眼帘。
Reclusive Spirit True Man waved his whisk broom again, and the sharp swordlights indeed converged in the middle. Countless swordlights disappeared, replaced by a towering giant sword.
cǐ jiàn jù dà wú bǐ , zhǎng èr shí zhàng yǒu yú , sàn fà zhe jīng yíng de hán qì , suí hòu níng zhòng yì cháng de cháo zhe qián fāng zhǎn qù 。
此剑巨大无比,长二十丈有余,散发着晶莹的寒气,随后凝重异常的朝着前方斩去。
This sword was enormous, over twenty feet long, emitting a shimmering coldness as it sliced forward with great weight.
“ bù hǎo !”
“不好!”
"Bad news!"
nà mó yún zhōng chuán lái jīng nù de dà jiào , suí hòu yī gǔ mó fēng píng kōng ér qǐ , mó yún zì jǐ xiàng zhe liǎng biān sàn qù , suí hòu yī xiàng mào zhēng níng de gǔ mó chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
那魔云中传来惊怒的大叫,随后一股魔风凭空而起,魔云自己像着两边散去,随后一相貌狰狞的古魔出现在了视线里。
A roar of anger came from the demon cloud. A demonic wind surged up, and the demon cloud dispersed to both sides. Then, an ugly ancient demon appeared in their sight.
cǐ mó shēn cái gāo tiǎo , shuō bù shàng qīng miàn liáo yá , dàn xiàng mào yě shì chǒu lòu wú bǐ , hún shēn shàng xià , dōu fù gài zhe xì mì de lín jiǎ 。
此魔身材高挑,说不上青面獠牙,但相貌也是丑陋无比,浑身上下,都覆盖着细密的鳞甲。
The demon was tall but not ghastly; its body was covered in fine scales. Its hands were particularly striking—extremely long and with a large blade emerging from the elbow area. It had no forearms or palms, replaced by two massive blades.
shèn zhì lián liǎn kǒng yě shì rú cǐ , wéi yǒu yǎn jīng wài lù , lù chū yī duì rú tóng sǐ rén bān de huī bái sè yǎn zhū , jǐn jǐn yǔ tā mù guāng xiāng chù , jiù ràng rén cóng xīn lǐ , mò míng qí miào de mào chū yī gǔ hán yì 。
甚至连脸孔也是如此,唯有眼睛外露,露出一对如同死人般的灰白色眼珠,仅仅与他目光相触,就让人从心里,莫名其妙的冒出一股寒意。
The cold light was glaring, resembling an insect like a mantis.
rán ér zhè hái bú shì zuì yǐn rén zhù yì 。
然而这还不是最引人注意。
Though Lin Xuan could not release his spiritual sense, he still saw clearly due to his keen eyesight. He couldn't help but show some surprise. Lin Xuan had spent over a century in the demon realm and knew ancient demons well, yet this type of ancient demon was unknown to him.
cǐ mó hún shēn shàng xià , zuì xī yǐn yǎn qiú de shì tā de shuāng shǒu , bù jǐn qí zhǎng wú bǐ , ér qiě cóng shǒu zhǒu bù fèn , jiù mò míng qí miào de biàn huà chū yī dà dāo lái le 。
此魔浑身上下,最吸引眼球的是他的双手,不仅奇长无比,而且从手肘部分,就莫名其妙的变化出一大刀来了。
However, that wasn't unusual; there were countless types of ancient demons. Even an ancient demon might not fully understand its own kind.
méi cuò , cǐ mó méi yǒu xiǎo bì yǔ shǒu zhǎng , qǔ ér dài zhī de shì liǎng bǐng dà dāo 。
没错,此魔没有小臂与手掌,取而代之的是两柄大刀。
The giant sword sliced down with a humming sound, distorting space as it passed. Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. Though he had expended all his magical power, his keen eyesight was still formidable. This strike could not be underestimated even at the peak of his strength.
hán guāng yào mù , ér zhè zào xíng kàn shàng qù , yǔ kūn chóng zhōng de táng láng pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù 。
寒光耀目,而这造型看上去,与昆虫中的螳螂颇有几分相似之处。
Roar!
cǐ shí liǎng rén dòu fǎ zhī dì , jù lí xiǎo dǎo bù guò qiān yú zhàng ér yǐ , lín xuān suī rán bù néng jiāng shén shí fàng chū , dàn yǐ tā guò rén de yǎn lì , yī jiù néng gòu kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
此时两人斗法之地,距离小岛不过千余丈而已,林轩虽然不能将神识放出,但以他过人的眼力,依旧能够看得清清楚楚。
The revealed ancient demon raised its head and let out a thunderous roar from its throat. As it did so, cracking sounds filled the air as its arms rapidly grew larger.
yǎn zhōng yě bù yóu de lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì zhī sè , lín xuān céng zài mó jiè dài guò shàng bǎi nián de shí jiān , duì yú gǔ mó , zì wèn yě hěn liǎo jiě , rán ér yǎn qián zhè zhǒng lèi xíng de gǔ mó , què shì wén suǒ wèi wén de 。
眼中也不由得露出几分诧异之色,林轩曾在魔界待过上百年的时间,对于古魔,自问也很了解,然而眼前这种类型的古魔,却是闻所未闻的。
The blade-like appendages crossed over to prepare for the giant sword's strike. However, Reclusive Spirit True Man's lips curled into a sinister smile.
bù guò zhè yě bù suàn xī qí , gǔ mó de zhǒng lèi běn jiù fán fù wú bǐ , gǔ mó zì jǐ , néng fǒu nòng dé qīng chǔ , yě hái shì yí gè wèn tí 。
不过这也不算稀奇,古魔的种类本就繁复无比,古魔自己,能否弄得清楚,也还是一个问题。
As the two were about to collide, his whisk broom pointed forward again, timing perfectly. A light 'pop' echoed in their ears as the giant sword disintegrated, transforming back into hundreds of shimmering swordlights. They scattered like startled birds in all directions.
què shuō nà jù jiàn zhǎn luò , wēng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ , suǒ guò zhī chù , lián kōng jiān dōu sà rán niǔ qū qǐ lái le , lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō , tā suī rán sàn jǐn le fǎ lì , dàn yǎn guāng de lǎo dào hái zài dì , zhè yī jī , biàn shì zì jǐ quán shèng zhī shí , yě bù gǎn tài guò xiǎo shì 。
却说那巨剑斩落,嗡鸣声传入耳朵,所过之处,连空间都飒然扭曲起来了,林轩瞳孔微缩,他虽然散尽了法力,但眼光的老到还在地,这一击,便是自己全盛之时,也不敢太过小视。
Sizzle...
hǒu !
吼!
Two intense beams shot from the demon's arms. Even without releasing his spiritual sense, Lin Xuan felt that these beams contained immense magical power. This ancient demon was undoubtedly a late-stage spirit fragment powerhouse and had likely not spared any effort.
nà xiǎn xíng hòu de gǔ mó yáng qǐ tóu , cóng hóu lóng lǐ fā chū jīng tiān nù hǒu , suí hòu liǎng zhǐ shǒu bì wǎng shàng yī jǔ , suí zhe tā de dòng zuò , pī lǐ pā lā de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ , cǐ mó de shǒu bì , jū rán yǐ bù kě sī yì de sù dù , xùn sù bào zhǎng qǐ lái le 。
那显形后的古魔扬起头,从喉咙里发出惊天怒吼,随后两只手臂往上一举,随着他的动作,噼里啪啦的爆裂声传入耳朵,此魔的手臂,居然以不可思议的速度,迅速暴涨起来了。
However, no matter how powerful it was, its attacks fell on empty space. The scattered swordlights already converged from all sides toward him.
nà dà dāo xíng zhuàng de lì rèn jiāo chā jǔ qǐ , sì hū zhǔn bèi yìng jiē nà qíng tiān jù jiàn de yī jī , rán ér líng xū zhēn rén de zuǐ jiǎo biān , què lù chū yī sī guǐ mì xiào yì 。
那大刀形状的利刃交叉举起,似乎准备硬接那擎天巨剑的一击,然而灵虚真人的嘴角边,却露出一丝诡秘笑意。
"Evil... detestable!"
yǎn kàn liǎng zhě yào hěn hěn zhuàng jī zài yì qǐ , tā shǒu zhōng de fú chén yòu shì xiàng qián diǎn qù , shí jī ná niē dé qià dào hǎo chù , “ bō ” de yī shēng qīng xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ , nà qíng tiān jù jiàn jū rán fēn jiě le , chóng xīn huà wéi shù yǐ bǎi jì de jīng yíng jiàn máng , rán hòu rú tóng shòu jīng de niǎo qún yī yàng , sàn luò xiàng sì miàn bā fāng 。
眼看两者要狠狠撞击在一起,他手中的拂尘又是向前点去,时机拿捏得恰到好处, “啵”的一声轻响传入耳朵,那擎天巨剑居然分解了,重新化为数以百计的晶莹剑芒,然后如同受惊的鸟群一样,散落像四面八方。
The ancient demon was both shocked and angry. He had been tricked by the opponent's feint. This despicable human was too cunning! He roared with rage.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
But what use was being upset? It was too late to change tactics now, let alone summon protective magical artifacts. The only thing he could do was release his body's demonic qi as a shield. However, that shimmering swordlight was formidable; the demonic qi was instantly swept away.
cóng nà gǔ mó de shǒu bì shàng , bèng shè chū liǎng dào lì máng , lín xuān jí biàn bù néng fàng chū shén shí , dōu gǎn jué dào zhè liǎng dào lì máng yùn hán de fǎ lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě , bù kuì shì fēn shén hòu qī de dà néng gǔ mó , ér qiě zhè yī jī , tā kǒng pà méi yǒu liú shén me yú dì 。
从那古魔的手臂上,迸射出两道厉芒,林轩即便不能放出神识,都感觉到这两道厉芒蕴含的法力非同小可,不愧是分神后期的大能古魔,而且这一击,他恐怕没有留什么余地。
Sizzle...
rán ér wēi lì zài dà yòu rú hé , quán bù luò zài le kōng chù , ér sàn luò de jīng yíng jiàn guāng , yǐ cóng sì miàn bā fāng xiàng tā zǎn cì guò lái le 。
然而威力再大又如何,全部落在了空处,而散落的晶莹剑光,已从四面八方像他攒刺过来了。
Then, the demon light surged as the swordlights clashed with its scales.
“ kě …… kě wù !”
“可……可恶!”
These scales were well-protected but still couldn't block all the swordlights. A painful scream echoed as this seemingly powerful late-stage spirit fragment demon was dismembered by a barrage of swords.
cǐ mó yòu jīng yòu nù , zì jǐ jìng rán bèi duì fāng de xū zhāo gěi piàn le , zhè kě wù de rén zú , shí zài tài jiǎo huá , tā qì dé bào tiào rú léi a !
此魔又惊又怒,自己竟然被对方的虚招给骗了,这可恶的人族,实在太狡猾,他气得暴跳如雷啊!
The entire process was swift and complex, taking only half a cup of tea's time.
rán ér yù mèn yǒu shén me yòng chǔ , cǐ shí cǐ kè , xiǎng biàn zhāo yǐ lái bù jí le 。
然而郁闷有什么用处,此时此刻,想变招已来不及了。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted, his eyes showing some gravity. It was undeniable that Reclusive Spirit True Man had won with some trickery, but he still possessed formidable strength.
shèn zhì lián fáng yù fǎ bǎo dōu lái bù jí jì chū , wéi yī néng zuò de jiù shì fàng chū hù tǐ mó qì , kě xī nà jīng yíng jiàn guāng shí zài shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě , mó qì qǐng kè jiān jiù bèi héng sǎo yī kōng 。
甚至连防御法宝都来不及祭出,唯一能做的就是放出护体魔气,可惜那晶莹剑光实在是非同小可,魔气顷刻间就被横扫一空。
Moreover, the use of tricks proved his rich experience in combat, his flexible mind, and his adaptability—qualities that made him terrifying.
“ cī lā ……”
“刺啦……”
After all, it's better to outsmart than to overpower an opponent who is both powerful and intelligent.
Chapter 2543: Ingenious Plan to Eliminate Demons
The several fierce tigers showed no intention of stopping. They turned their heads, opened their bloody mouths, and revealed sharp fangs that glinted with a dazzling light. A dozen or so white-hot beams of light, each about a foot in diameter, shot out from their mouths.
"Eh?"
A voice from the demon cloud sounded surprised, seemingly unable to believe that its wind dragon had been broken so quickly. An obscure incantation echoed through his ears as hundreds of ancient black characters flew out from the vortex.

The sound of explosions filled the air like raindrops. The colorful spiritual light interwove continuously, and soon, those beams shattered into pieces. Then, the light balls transformed from the ancient characters flew back toward the tigers.

The scene was truly formidable; it seemed that the entire sky was filled with these shimmering swordlights.

The demon cloud surged violently, showing signs of agitation. Nearby demonic qi gathered together, forming a large shield in mid-air.
This shield was solid and heavy, clearly indicating its formidable defensive capabilities. However, under the shimmering swordlights, it seemed as fragile as paper, easily torn apart into pieces.
