rán ér lín xuān huà yīn wèi luò ， tū rán fā xiàn gù fēng wàng xiàng zì jǐ de mù guāng ， biàn dé gǔ guài yǐ jí 。
然而林轩话音未落，突然发现顾风望向自己的目光，变得古怪以极。
However, before Lin Xuan could finish his sentence, he suddenly noticed that Gu Feng's gaze had become extremely strange.
“ nán dào ……” lín xuān xīn zhōng yī lǐn ， bù jí xì xiǎng de zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， lán guāng yào yǎn ， yǐ jīng jiāng shuǐ yún zi mǔ jiàn jì le qǐ lái 。
“难道……”林轩心中一凛，不及细想的在储物袋上一拍，蓝光耀眼，已经将水云子母剑祭了起来。
"Could it be..." Lin Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. Without further thought, he tapped his storage bag, and a blinding blue light appeared as he summoned the Water Cloud Mother Sword.
“ nǐ guǒ rán shì jiān xì 。” gù fēng de shēng yīn yīn hán wú bǐ ， yī zì yī dùn de dào ， lín xuān xīn zhōng zé kǔ xiào bù yǐ ， suī rán cǐ rén xīn sī jī mǐn ， dàn ruò fēi tiān mó nǐ róng shù qià hǎo zài cǐ kè dào le shí xiào de huà ， zì jǐ yě yǒu bǎ wò jiāng tā táng sè guò qù ， cóng ér qīng sōng lí qù ， kě xiàn zài ……
“你果然是奸细。”顾风的声音阴寒无比，一字一顿的道，林轩心中则苦笑不已，虽然此人心思机敏，但若非天魔拟容术恰好在此刻到了时效的话，自己也有把握将他搪塞过去，从而轻松离去，可现在……
"You are indeed an infiltrator," Gu Feng's voice was icy cold, each word pronounced with deliberate slowness. Lin Xuan couldn't help but chuckle bitterly in his heart. Although this person was sharp-minded, if not for the Timing of the Heaven Demon Illusion Technique expiring at this moment, he might have managed to deceive him and left easily. Now...
chú le dòng shǒu ， yǐ jīng méi yǒu bié de xuǎn zé 。
除了动手，已经没有别的选择。
He had no choice but to fight.
jiàn lín xuān shǒu zhōng wò zhe sān chǐ qīng fēng ， liù bǐng zi jiàn zài tā shēn zhōu pán xuán bù zhǐ ， gù fēng liǎn shàng yě lù chū le yī sī níng zhòng zhī sè ， méi xiǎng dào duì fāng nián jì qīng qīng ， xiū wèi jiù dào le zhù jī hòu qī de jìng dì ， ér qiě yōng yǒu hǎn jiàn de chéng tào líng qì 。
见林轩手中握着三尺青锋，六柄子剑在他身周盘旋不止，顾风脸上也露出了一丝凝重之色，没想到对方年纪轻轻，修为就到了筑基后期的境地，而且拥有罕见的成套灵器。
Seeing Lin Xuan holding a three-foot-long sword with six smaller swords swirling around his body, Gu Feng's expression turned serious. He hadn't expected such a young man to reach the late Foundation Establishment stage and possess rare complete sets of spiritual artifacts.
yǒu xiē jí shǒu a ！
有些棘手啊！
This was going to be tricky!
tā zài yāo jiān de chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， yī bǐng duǎn jǐ mú yàng de bǎo wù jiù bèi jì le chū lái ， dīng zhe lín xuān ：“ nǐ jiū jìng shì shuí ， wèi hé mào chōng běn mén dì zǐ ？”
他在腰间的储物袋上一拍，一柄短戟模样的宝物就被祭了出来，盯着林轩：“你究竟是谁，为何冒充本门弟子？”
He tapped his waist pouch and summoned a short halberd-like treasure. "Who are you? Why did you impersonate one of our disciples?"
lín xuān liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī lì sè ， zhè shí hòu kě méi yǒu xīn qíng yǔ tā zài fèi huà le ， rú guǒ zhè qī jiān lái le qí tā de tiān mù pài xiū shì ， zì jǐ qǐ bù shì zhuī huǐ mò jí ， zhī suǒ yǐ bù yòng wú gōu dǎ tóu zhèn ， zhuǎn ér jì chū zhè wēi lì gèng dà de shuǐ yún zi mǔ jiàn lái ， lín xuān jiù shì cún le sù zhàn sù jué de xīn sī 。
林轩脸上闪过一丝厉色，这时候可没有心情与他再废话了，如果这期间来了其他的天目派修士，自己岂不是追悔莫及，之所以不用吴钩打头阵，转而祭出这威力更大的水云子母剑来，林轩就是存了速战速决的心思。
Lin Xuan's face showed a hint of ferocity. There wasn't time for idle chatter now. If other Immortal Eye Sect cultivators arrived during this exchange, he would regret it. He had switched to the more powerful Water Cloud Mother Sword because he wanted to end things quickly.
chōng zhe shēn qián dì zi jiàn yì diǎn zhǐ 。 liǎng bǐng qīng fēng jiù fēi le chū qù 。 yǐ xùn léi bù jí yǎn ěr zhī shì 。 yī qǔ xiōng kǒu 。 yī qǔ yān hóu 。 hěn hěn dì cì xiàng duì shǒu 。
冲着身前地子剑一点指。两柄青锋就飞了出去。以迅雷不及掩耳之势。一取胸口。一取咽喉。狠狠地刺向对手。
He pointed at one of the smaller swords in front of him. Two green blades shot out with lightning speed, aiming for his opponent's chest and throat before plunging fiercely.
gù fēng jiàn le 。 liǎn shàng méi yǒu sī háo dì jù sè 。 yòu shǒu qiā le yī dào fǎ jué 。 xiàng xià huī luò 。 nà duǎn jǐ tóng yàng huà wèi yī lǚ lì máng 。 xiàng zhe lín xuān shā guò lái le 。
顾风见了。脸上没有丝毫地惧色。右手掐了一道法诀。向下挥落。那短戟同样化为一缕厉芒。向着林轩杀过来了。
Gu Feng showed no fear on his face. He cast a spell and swung downward. The short halberd transformed into a sharp beam, charging towards Lin Xuan.
lín xuān biǎo qíng bù biàn 。 xīn zhōng què pǒ wèi yà rán 。 tā dì nián líng suī rán bù dà 。 rán ér yǔ rén zhēng dòu dì jīng yàn què yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò le tóng jiē xiū shì 。 rán ér zhè yàng dì dòu fǎ hái shì dì yī cì 。 duì fāng fēng le 。 xiǎng yào tóng guī yú jìn bù chéng ？
林轩表情不变。心中却颇为讶然。他地年龄虽然不大。然而与人争斗地经验却远远胜过了同阶修士。然而这样地斗法还是第一次。对方疯了。想要同归于尽不成？
Lin Xuan remained calm but felt rather surprised. Despite his young age, he had far more combat experience than his peers. This was the first time he faced such a fight. Was this person trying to commit suicide by mutual destruction?
lín xuān lěng xiào yī shēng 。 zuǒ shǒu yī fān 。 yǐ jiāng bǎi hún fān qǔ le chū lái 。 qīng qīng huī dòng 。 wú shù dì guǐ wù dùn shí sāi mǎn le shù zhàng fāng yuán 。 jiāng tā dì shēn xíng bāo guǒ le qǐ lái 。
林轩冷笑一声。左手一翻。已将百魂幡取了出来。轻轻挥动。无数地鬼雾顿时塞满了数丈方圆。将他地身形包裹了起来。
Lin Xuan sneered and flipped his left hand, taking out the Hundred Soul Flag. He waved it lightly, enveloping him in countless ghostly mists that filled several feet around.
“ yí ？” gù fēng dì liǎn shàng 。 zài cì lù chū jīng yà bù yǐ dì biǎo qíng 。 rán ér shǒu shàng què sī háo bù tíng 。 lián xù biàn huàn le jǐ gè fǎ yìn zhī hòu 。 kǒu zhōng yě niàn qǐ le huì sè nán dǒng dì zhòu yǔ 。
“咦？”顾风地脸上。再次露出惊讶不已地表情。然而手上却丝毫不停。连续变幻了几个法印之后。口中也念起了晦涩难懂地咒语。
"Eh?" Gu Feng's expression turned astonished again. However, he didn't pause. After forming a few complex seals, he recited an incomprehensible incantation.
tā dì zuǒ yòu liǎng shǒu shàng 。 gè zì chū xiàn le yí gè jī dàn dà xiǎo dì bái sè guāng qiú 。
他地左右两手上。各自出现了一个鸡蛋大小地白色光球。
Two white light balls the size of eggs appeared on both his hands.
yǎn jiàn liǎng bǐng fēi jiàn shā dào miàn qián ， tā bù huāng bù máng de jiāng guāng qiú tuī le chū qù 。
眼见两柄飞剑杀到面前，他不慌不忙的将光球推了出去。
As the two flying swords approached him, he pushed them out calmly.
nà guāng qiú de sù dù ， shì huǎn shí jí 。 zhuǎn shùn jiān jiù yǔ liǎng bǐng zi jiàn zhuàng zài le yì qǐ 。
那光球的速度，似缓实急。转瞬间就与两柄子剑撞在了一起。
The light balls moved slowly but in reality, they sped up instantly and collided with the smaller swords.
pēng ， yī tuán bái wù bào chū ， zhōu wéi de wēn dù xùn sù jiàng dī ， wú shù bīng jīng dì kē lì ， jìng rán chū xiàn zài le fēi jiàn de biǎo miàn ， bìng qiě xùn jié yǐ jí de xiàng shàng màn yán ， kàn zhè ge shēng shì ， yòng bù duō zhǎng de shí jiān ， liǎng bǐng zi jiàn jiù huì bèi wán quán de bīng fēng qǐ lái 。
嘭，一团白雾爆出，周围的温度迅速降低，无数冰晶地颗粒，竟然出现在了飞剑的表面，并且迅捷以极的向上蔓延，看这个声势，用不多长的时间，两柄子剑就会被完全的冰封起来。
Bang! A cloud of white mist erupted as the temperature dropped sharply. Ice crystals formed on the surface of the flying swords and rapidly spread upwards. At this rate, both swords would soon be completely frozen over within a short time.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yà rán 。
林轩眼中闪过一丝讶然。
Lin Xuan's eyes widened in surprise.
suī rán wǔ xíng fǎ shù wēi lì wú qióng 。 dàn yǔ líng qì děng bǎo wù xiāng bǐ ， bì jìng yào lüè xùn yī chóu ， duì fāng jū rán kě yǐ yòng bīng shǔ xìng de fǎ jué ， jiāng zì jǐ de liǎng bǐng zi jiàn dòng jié qǐ lái ， bú shì liàn yǒu tè shū shén tōng ， jiù shì fǎ lì shēn hòu ， yuǎn yuǎn chāo chū le zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng zhī wài 。
虽然五行法术威力无穷。但与灵器等宝物相比，毕竟要略逊一筹，对方居然可以用冰属性的法诀，将自己的两柄子剑冻结起来，不是练有特殊神通，就是法力深厚，远远超出了自己想象之外。
While Five Elements magic was powerful, it still fell slightly behind spiritual artifacts. The fact that Gu Feng could freeze his two smaller swords with ice attributes meant he either had special abilities or possessed formidable magical power far beyond Lin Xuan's expectations.
bù kuì shì tiān mù shān èr dài dì zǐ zhōng de dì yī rén a ！
不愧是天目山二代弟子中的第一人啊！
No wonder he is the top disciple of Immortal Eye Mountain!
lín xuān zì rán bú huì yǎn zhēng zhēng de kàn zhe tā jìn gù zì jǐ dì bǎo jiàn 。
林轩自然不会眼睁睁的看着他禁锢自己地宝剑。
Lin Xuan wouldn't let him imprison his treasure sword so easily.
tǐ nèi fǎ lì liú zhuǎn ， yòu shǒu bāo guǒ zhe yī céng qīng sè de guāng tuán ， shǒu tí mǔ jiàn 。 wēi yī yòng lì ， wēng míng shēng zhōng ， nà guāng tuán yǐ bèi shǒu zhōng de líng qì xī le jìn qù 。
体内法力流转，右手包裹着一层青色的光团，手提母剑。微一用力，嗡鸣声中，那光团已被手中的灵器吸了进去。
Magic power surged within, and a green light enveloped his right hand. He held the mother sword and exerted force. A buzzing sound filled the air as the light ball was absorbed by the spiritual artifact in his hand.
shà shí jiān ， mǔ jiàn guāng máng dà fàng ， ér yuǎn chù dì liǎng bǐng zi jiàn ， yě lì kè yǒu suǒ gǎn yìng bān de gòng zhèn le qǐ lái ……
霎时间，母剑光芒大放，而远处地两柄子剑，也立刻有所感应般的共振了起来……
Instantly, the mother sword glowed brightly, while the two smaller swords far away resonated...
yī céng méng méng de qīng guāng chū xiàn zài le jiàn rèn zhī shàng 。
一层蒙蒙的青光出现在了剑刃之上。
A faint green glow appeared on the blade.
bīng fēng zhī shì bèi zǔ zhǐ ， bìng qiě kāi shǐ xiàng xià cán shí ， hěn kuài ， jiàn rèn shàng de bīng jīng jiù rú tóng yù dào liè huǒ yī yàng de xùn sù xiāo róng qǐ lái 。
冰封之势被阻止，并且开始向下蚕食，很快，剑刃上的冰晶就如同遇到烈火一样的迅速消融起来。
The freezing effect was halted and began to retreat downwards. Soon, the ice crystals on the blade melted rapidly like they were exposed to intense heat.
zhěng gè guò chéng rú diàn guāng huǒ shí 。 liǎng rén de dòu fǎ jī hū zài qǐng kè jiān jiù wán chéng le 。 ér zhè shí ， nà duǎn jǐ cái shā dào lín xuān de miàn qián 。
整个过程如电光火石。两人的斗法几乎在顷刻间就完成了。而这时，那短戟才杀到林轩的面前。
The entire process was lightning-fast, and their combat almost concluded in an instant. At this moment, the short halberd reached Lin Xuan's face.
kě xī 。 tā xiàn zài de shēn xíng wán quán lǒng zhào zài guǐ wù lǐ miàn 。
可惜。他现在的身形完全笼罩在鬼雾里面。
Unfortunately, his body was completely hidden by ghostly mists.
gù fēng hēng le yī shēng ， nà duǎn jǐ de sù dù zhòu rán jiā kuài ， huà wèi yī lǚ lì máng hěn hěn dì xiàng zhe guǐ wù de zhōng xīn cì le jìn lái 。
顾风哼了一声，那短戟的速度骤然加快，化为一缕厉芒狠狠地向着鬼雾的中心刺了进来。
Gu Feng snorted as the short halberd sped up, transforming into a sharp beam that pierced towards the center of the ghostly cloud.
lín xuān qǐ huì ràng tā rú yuàn ， yáo le yáo shǒu zhōng de bǎi hún fān ， dùn shí ， shēn tǐ zhōu wéi yóu guǐ wù níng chéng de hēi yún jí sù xuán zhuǎn qǐ lái ， bìng cóng zhōng fēn lí chū le yī xiǎo kuài ， huà wèi yī zhī hēi sè de jù shǒu ， xiàng shàng yī zhuā yī lāo ， jiù jiāng nà duǎn jǐ láo láo de kòng zhì zài le shǒu zhǎng lǐ miàn 。
林轩岂会让他如愿，摇了摇手中的百魂幡，顿时，身体周围由鬼雾凝成的黑云急速旋转起来，并从中分离出了一小块，化为一只黑色的巨手，向上一抓一捞，就将那短戟牢牢的控制在了手掌里面。
Lin Xuan wouldn't let him succeed. He waved the Hundred Soul Flag, and the black clouds condensed around him rapidly separated to form a massive black hand. It grabbed the short halberd tightly with its palm.
jiàn cǐ qíng xíng ， gù fēng de biǎo qíng yuè fā yīn lì ， suī rán duì fāng jǐn jǐn shì zhù jī hòu qī ， dàn què yuǎn bǐ xiǎng xiàng de nán chán 。
见此情形，顾风的表情越发阴厉，虽然对方仅仅是筑基后期，但却远比想象的难缠。
Gu Feng's expression turned even more sinister. Despite being only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, this person was far more troublesome than expected.
zhè ràng tā xīn zhōng yuè fā de huái yí ， suī rán bìng méi yǒu jiù cǐ kěn dìng lín xuān jiù shì nà pò huài quán yǎn zhī rén ， dàn yě yǐn yǐn jué de cǐ shì duō bàn yǔ tā tuō bù liǎo guān xì ， hěn yǒu kě néng shì qí tóng huǒ suǒ wèi ，
这让他心中越发的怀疑，虽然并没有就此肯定林轩就是那破坏泉眼之人，但也隐隐觉得此事多半与他脱不了关系，很有可能是其同伙所为，
This made him suspect that Lin Xuan might be the one who destroyed the spring source. Although he didn't confirm it yet, he felt strongly that this matter was likely related to him and possibly committed by his accomplices.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， gēng dòng le miè shā lín xuān dì xīn sī ， dāng rán ， rú guǒ néng gòu jiāng tā huó zhuō ， nà gèng shì zài hǎo bù guò de jié jú 。
念及至此，更动了灭杀林轩地心思，当然，如果能够将他活捉，那更是再好不过的结局。
With this thought, he resolved to kill Lin Xuan. However, if he could capture him alive, that would be even better.
gù fēng shuāng shǒu píng jǔ ， rán hòu zài hé yú xiōng qián ， kǒu zhōng tǔ chū yí gè zì ：“ jí ！”
顾风双手平举，然后再合于胸前，口中吐出一个字：“疾！”
Gu Feng held both hands outstretched in front of him, then clasped them together as he uttered a single word: "Quick!"
chì hóng sè huǒ yàn de chū xiàn zài le nà duǎn jǐ de shàng miàn ， kàn dé lín xuān biǎo qíng yī hán ， zhè jiā huo ， bù jǐn shàn cháng bīng shǔ xìng de fǎ jué ， lián huǒ shǔ xìng de shén tōng yě rú cǐ xī lì 。
赤红色火焰的出现在了那短戟的上面，看得林轩表情一寒，这家伙，不仅擅长冰属性的法诀，连火属性的神通也如此犀利。
A crimson flame enveloped the short halberd, causing Lin Xuan's expression to turn cold. This guy not only excelled at ice attributes but also had formidable fire magic.
yào zhī dào ， pǔ tōng de xiū shì suī rán néng gòu tóng shí jiān xiū wǔ xíng shén tōng ， dàn yě bì yǒu cè zhòng 。
要知道，普通的修士虽然能够同时兼修五行神通，但也必有侧重。
Ordinary cultivators could indeed practice all Five Elements techniques, but they often focused on one or two elements more than others.
bǐ rú shuō tiān shēng ruò shì shuǐ líng gēn ， nà me zuì shàn cháng de bì shì shuǐ shǔ xìng fǎ jué ， xiū liàn huǒ shǔ xìng de gōng fǎ shì bàn ér gōng bèi 。
比如说天生若是水灵根，那么最擅长的必是水属性法诀，修炼火属性的功法事半而功倍。
This person, however, defied common sense. The flames he summoned were just as powerful as the previous freezing effect.
kě cǐ rén ， míng xiǎn bù néng yòng cháng lǐ chuǎi duó ， cǐ shí shī zhǎn chū lái dì huǒ yàn jū rán yǔ gāng cái nà bīng fēng tóng yàng dì wēi lì wú bǐ 。
可此人，明显不能用常理揣度，此时施展出来地火焰居然与刚才那冰封同样地威力无比。
The black hand transformed into a ghostly cloud was gradually being refined by the crimson flame. After struggling, the short halberd broke free but hesitated to attack, flying back to Gu Feng's hand with a whoosh.
bèi chì hóng sè de huǒ yàn bāo guǒ ， guǐ wù suǒ huà dì hēi shǒu jìng rán bèi zhú jiàn liàn huà le ， nà duǎn jǐ yī zhèn zhēng zhá ， zhōng yú tuō lí le shù fù ， dàn yě bù gǎn jì xù jìn gōng ， sōu de yī shēng fēi huí dào le gù fēng de shǒu zhōng 。
被赤红色的火焰包裹，鬼雾所化地黑手竟然被逐渐炼化了，那短戟一阵挣扎，终于脱离了束缚，但也不敢继续进攻，嗖的一声飞回到了顾风的手中。
Lin Xuan's expression turned cold again. Just as he was about to use another technique, Gu Feng raised his hand and said, "Hold!"
lín xuān biǎo qíng yī hán ， zhèng xiǎng shī zhǎn bié de shén tōng ， nà gù fēng què tái qǐ le shǒu ， dào ：“ qiě zhù ！”
林轩表情一寒，正想施展别的神通，那顾风却抬起了手，道：“且住！”
"Why?" Lin Xuan held a light ball of gathered magical energy in his right hand, ready but not yet releasing it.
“ zěn me ？” lín xuān yòu shǒu tuō zhe yí gè líng lì suǒ jù de guāng tuán ， yǐn ér bù fā 。
“怎么？”林轩右手托着一个灵力所聚的光团，隐而不发。
"Are you a demon cultivator?" Gu Feng's voice contained an underlying fear, unsure if he heard correctly.
“ gé xià shì xiū mó zhě ？” bù zhī dào shì fǒu tīng cuò ， gù fēng de shēng yīn zhōng ， yǐn yǐn de hán yǒu yī sī wèi jù zhī sè 。
“阁下是修魔者？”不知道是否听错，顾风的声音中，隐隐的含有一丝畏惧之色。
"So what?"
“ nà yòu rú hé ？”
“那又如何？”
Lin Xuan's answer was ambiguous. If Gu Feng recognized him as such, that would be perfect. Since leaving Immortal Eye Mountain, he wasn't afraid of trouble, but fewer potential threats were better.
lín xuān de huí dá mó léng liǎng kě ， duì fāng rèn cuò zì jǐ de shēn fèn zì rán zài hǎo bù guò ， suī rán lí kāi tiān mù shān ， zì rán jiù bù pà duì fāng zhǎo má fán ， kě shǎo yī xiē hòu huàn zǒng shì hǎo de 。
林轩的回答模棱两可，对方认错自己的身份自然再好不过，虽然离开天目山，自然就不怕对方找麻烦，可少一些后患总是好的。
"May I ask about your relationship with the Supreme Extreme Demon?"
“ bù zhī dào gé xià hé jí è mó zūn yǒu hé guān xì ？”
“不知道阁下和极恶魔尊有何关系？”
Gu Feng's next question surprised Lin Xuan unexpectedly. However, his composure remained unchanged. He quickly deduced that Gu Feng was suspicious due to the spells he had just cast.
gù fēng de xià yī jù huà què dà chū lín xuān de yì liào zhī wài ， bù guò yǐ tā de chéng fǔ ， zì rán bú huì jiāng jīng yà de qíng xù biǎo xiàn chū lái ， fǎn ér xīn niàn diàn zhuǎn ， kàn lái duì fāng cóng yóu yú zì jǐ gāng cái shī zhǎn de shén tōng ér xīn cún yí lǜ 。
顾风的下一句话却大出林轩的意料之外，不过以他的城府，自然不会将惊讶的情绪表现出来，反而心念电转，看来对方从由于自己刚才施展的神通而心存疑虑。
After all, the True Scripture of Dark Magic contained one of the top-tier techniques in Juyi Province, and the Supreme Extreme Demon was well-known. With few ghost cultivators, it was likely a case of mistaken identity.
However, before Lin Xuan could finish his sentence, he suddenly noticed that Gu Feng's gaze had become extremely strange.
"Could it be..." Lin Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. Without further thought, he tapped his storage bag, and a blinding blue light appeared as he summoned the Water Cloud Mother Sword.
"You are indeed an infiltrator," Gu Feng's voice was icy cold, each word pronounced with deliberate slowness. Lin Xuan couldn't help but chuckle bitterly in his heart. Although this person was sharp-minded, if not for the Timing of the Heaven Demon Illusion Technique expiring at this moment, he might have managed to deceive him and left easily. Now...
He had no choice but to fight.
"Eh!"
Seeing Lin Xuan holding a three-foot-long sword with six smaller swords swirling around his body, Gu Feng's expression turned serious. He hadn't expected such a young man to reach the late Foundation Establishment stage and possess rare complete sets of spiritual artifacts.
This was going to be tricky!
He tapped his waist pouch and summoned a short halberd-like treasure. "Who are you? Why did you impersonate one of our disciples?"
"Hmph?"
Lin Xuan's face showed a hint of ferocity. There wasn't time for idle chatter now. If other Immortal Eye Sect cultivators arrived during this exchange, he would regret it. He had switched to the more powerful Water Cloud Mother Sword because he wanted to end things quickly.
"Go!"
He pointed at one of the smaller swords in front of him. Two green blades shot out with lightning speed, aiming for his opponent's chest and throat before plunging fiercely.
Gu Feng showed no fear on his face. He cast a spell and swung downward. The short halberd transformed into a sharp beam, charging towards Lin Xuan.

Two white light balls the size of eggs appeared on both his hands.
As the two flying swords approached him, he pushed them out calmly.
The light balls moved slowly but in reality, they sped up instantly and collided with the smaller swords.
Bang! A cloud of white mist erupted as the temperature dropped sharply. Ice crystals formed on the surface of the flying swords and rapidly spread upwards. At this rate, both swords would soon be completely frozen over within a short time.
