piāo miǎo xiān gōng de sān míng xiū xiān zhě ， jiē chū shǒu bù fán ， zhè lián shǒu chū jī ， qí shì yǒu ruò bào fēng zhòu yǔ ， lín xuān mén xīn zì wèn ， ruò shì yì dì ér chǔ ， jí biàn yǐ zì jǐ de shén tōng ， yě bù gǎn dà yì qīng hū ， rán ér tiān wài mó tóu hǎo dà de míng qì ， yòu qǐ huì shì yì yú ……
缥缈仙宫的三名修仙者，皆出手不凡，这联手出击，其势有若暴风骤雨，林轩扪心自问，若是易地而处，即便以自己的神通，也不敢大意轻忽，然而天外魔头好大的名气，又岂会是易于……
Three cultivators from the Ethereal Immortal Palace each displayed their prowess. Their combined assault was like a sudden storm, and Lin Xuan couldn't help but wonder if he were in their shoes, even with his abilities, he wouldn’t dare be careless. However, the reputation of the demon from beyond the heavens was no joke...
yǎn kàn gōng jī jù lí tā hái yǒu shù zhàng de jù lí ， dī xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， sū yún fēng ， sà rán tái qǐ le tóu lú ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā nǎ lǐ hái shì nà fán rén wǔ zhě 。
眼看攻击距离他还有数丈的距离，低笑声传入耳朵，苏云峰，飒然抬起了头颅，然而此时此刻，他哪里还是那凡人武者。
Just as the attack was mere meters away, Su Yunfeng let out a low chuckle and raised his head. But at this moment, he wasn't just an ordinary martial artist.
yī duì yǎn zhū biàn chéng le xuè hóng zhī sè， zhěng gè liǎn kǒng dōu bèi nóng nóng de hēi qì suǒ lǒng zhào zhe ， yuán běn yīng jùn de miàn róng ， zài zhè guǐ yì mó qì de yìng chèn xià xiǎn de zhēng níng wú bǐ 。
一对眼珠变成了血红之sè，整个脸孔都被浓浓的黑气所笼罩着，原本英俊的面容，在这诡异魔气的映衬下显得狰狞无比。
His eyes turned blood red, and a thick black aura enveloped his face. The originally handsome features appeared grotesque under the eerie demonic energy.
miàn duì zhè cóng sì miàn bā fāng yǒng lái de gōng jī ， tā de zuǐ jiǎo biān ， jū rán qiān chě chū yī sī jī cháo de xiào yì 。
面对这从四面八方涌来的攻击，他的嘴角边，居然牵扯出一丝讥嘲的笑意。
Facing the attacks from all sides, a mocking smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
yě bú jiàn tā duō yú de dòng zuò ， zhěng gè shēn tǐ tū rán bào zhǎng qǐ lái le ， rú tóng yí gè yuán qiú ， suí hòu dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， zhà liè le kāi lái 。
也不见他多余的动作，整个身体突然暴涨起来了，如同一个圆球，随后滴溜溜一转，炸裂了开来。
Without any additional movements, his body suddenly swelled up like a ball, then spun around before exploding into pieces.
wú shù xuè sī xiàng zhe sì zhōu táo sàn ， rú cǐ yī lái ， bù lùn mò lǜ fēi dāo ， hái shì nà yǒu ruò wàn qiān yín zhēn de fǎ bǎo ， huò zhě yóu hào rán zhèng qì suǒ níng jié ér chéng de zǐ máo ， quán dōu luò zài le kōng chù 。
无数血丝向着四周逃散，如此一来，不论墨绿飞刀，还是那有若万千银针的法宝，或者由浩然正气所凝结而成的紫矛，全都落在了空处。
Countless blood threads scattered in every direction. As a result, the emerald green flying knives and myriad silver needles of the magical artifacts, as well as the purple spear formed from the righteous energy, all landed uselessly.
zhǐ néng yǎn zhēng zhēng de kàn zhe zhè xiē xuè sī yí gè pán xuán hòu ， zài bǎi yú zhàng wài ， chóng xīn níng jù chū yí gè rén xíng lái le 。
只能眼睁睁的看着这些血丝一个盘旋后，在百余丈外，重新凝聚出一个人形来了。
They could only watch helplessly as these blood threads coiled up and reformed into a human figure over a hundred meters away.
piāo miǎo xiān gōng de sān rén ， liǎn sè nán kàn dào jí chù ， suī rán zhī dào tiān wài mó tóu bù hǎo duì fù ， dàn zuò mèng yě méi xiǎng dào ， huì nán chán zhì rú cǐ dì bù ， zhè yī chū shǒu de shén tōng ， jiù lìng rén dà wèi tóu téng le 。
缥缈仙宫的三人，脸sè难看到极处，虽然知道天外魔头不好对付，但做梦也没想到，会难缠至如此地步，这一出手的神通，就令人大为头疼了。
The three cultivators from the Ethereal Immortal Palace looked pale with fear. Although they knew dealing with the demon from beyond the heavens wouldn't be easy, they never imagined it would be this difficult. The power of their first move left them in a quandary.
rán ér zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， nà xiū wèi zuì gāo de líng xū zhēn rén měng rán jiāng yǎn jīng dèng dé dà dà de ， fǎng fú fā xiàn le shén me kě pà zhī chù ， chēng mù dà hē ：“ shī mèi ， kuài duǒ ！”
然而这个念头尚未转过，那修为最高的灵虚真人猛然将眼睛瞪得大大的，仿佛发现了什么可怕之处，瞠目大喝：“师妹，快躲！”
But before he could fully process his thoughts, the most powerful cultivator, Lingxu Zhenren, suddenly widened his eyes as if discovering something terrifying. He shouted loudly: "Sister, dodge quickly!"
gōng zhuāng nǚ xiū yī dāi ， yǎn shén yǒu diǎn máng rán ， bù guò zuò wéi fēn shén hòu qī de dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， bú yòng shuō ， yī lù zǒu lái ， yě shì jīng lì è zhàn wú shù ， suī rán bù zhī dào shī xiōng zhè jù tí xǐng shì hé yòng yì ， dàn wú lùn rú hé ， tā yě bù gǎn dà yì qīng hū 。
宫装女修一呆，眼神有点茫然，不过作为分神后期的大能修仙者，不用说，一路走来，也是经历恶战无数，虽然不知道师兄这句提醒是何用意，但无论如何，她也不敢大意轻忽。
The female cultivator dressed in palace attire was momentarily stunned, her gaze somewhat dazed. However, as a late-stage spirit projection cultivator, she knew better than to be careless. With a flick of her jade hand, a layer of light pink silk flew out.
zhǐ jiàn qí yù shǒu yī fú ， yī céng fěn hóng sè de qīng shā fēi lüè ér chū 。
只见其玉手一拂，一层粉红sè的轻纱飞掠而出。
Though the silk seemed thin, it was an ancient treasure that this woman had obtained through chance over a thousand years ago. While not effective in battle, its defensive capabilities rivaled those of top-grade postnatal spiritual artifacts.
nà qīng shā kàn shì qīng bó ， rán ér què shì cǐ nǚ qiān yú nián qián ， jī yuán qiǎo hé ， suǒ de dào de yī bàn gǔ bǎo ， zài kè dí zhì shèng fāng miàn méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， dàn ruò shì guāng lùn fáng yù lì ， shèn zhì bù xùn sè yú nà xiē dǐng jiān de hòu tiān líng bǎo 。
那轻纱看似轻薄，然而却是此女千余年前，机缘巧合，所得到的一伴古宝，在克敌制胜方面没有效果，但若是光论防御力，甚至不逊sè于那些顶尖的后天灵宝。
As soon as the treasure was released, a flash of spirit light transformed it into a layer of pink light that enveloped her.
cǐ bǎo yī bèi jì chū ， líng máng yī shǎn ， lì kè huà wèi yī céng fěn hóng sè de guāng zhào jiāng cǐ nǚ hù zài lǐ miàn 。
此宝一被祭出，灵芒一闪，立刻化为一层粉红sè的光罩将此女护在里面。
Outside the light barrier, misty vapor and faintly visible rainbow hues lingered.
guāng zhào wài miàn ， wù qì yīn yūn ， yǐn yǐn hái yǒu xiá guāng mí màn 。
光罩外面，雾气氤氲，隐隐还有霞光弥漫。
The female cultivator's actions were swift. However, before she could react, a sizzling sound filled the air. A dark ghost claw suddenly appeared in front of the light barrier.
cǐ nǚ de dòng zuò bù kě wèi bù xùn sù ， kě jǐn jiē zhe ， jiù yǒu cī lā shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà guāng zhào zhī qián ， kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ ， yī yǒu hēi guǐ zhǎo háo wú zhēng zhào de fú xiàn 。
此女的动作不可谓不迅速，可紧接着，就有刺啦声传入耳朵，那光罩之前，空间bō动骤起，一黝黑鬼爪毫无征兆的浮现。
This claw was over ten meters long, completely black with purple tinges, emitting wisps of black energy. Its nails were razor-sharp, and despite the light barrier blocking its path, it ignored it entirely. With a snap of its fingers, it transformed into a sharp beam and fiercely lunged towards the female cultivator.
cǐ guǐ zhǎo zhǎng shí zhàng yú ， tōng tǐ wū hēi fà zǐ ， mí màn zhe sī sī de hēi qì ， zhǐ jiǎ gèng shì jiān lì wú bǐ ， qián fāng míng míng yǒu guāng zhào dǎng lù ， tā què shì ruò wú dǔ ， wǔ zhǐ yī hé ， huà wèi yī dào jīng máng ， hěn hěn de xiàng zhe gōng zhuāng nǚ xiū zhuā qù le 。
此鬼爪长十丈余，通体乌黑发紫，弥漫着丝丝的黑气，指甲更是尖利无比，前方明明有光罩挡路，它却视若无睹，五指一合，化为一道精芒，狠狠的向着宫装女修抓去了。
Though confident in her artifact's defensive capabilities, the sight of this terrifying dark claw made her feel uneasy. Before she could react further, the ghostly claw arrived with incredible speed.
cǐ nǚ suī duì zì jǐ fǎ bǎo de fáng yù lì xìn xīn shí zú ， dàn jiàn nà wū hēi guǐ zhǎo rú cǐ kě bù ， xīn zhōng yě méi lái yóu de yǒu yī xiē dǎ chù ， rán ér děng bù jí tā zuò chū xià yí gè dòng zuò ， nà sù dù qí kuài de guǐ zhǎo yǐ yōu rán ér zhì le 。
此女虽对自己法宝的防御力信心十足，但见那乌黑鬼爪如此可怖，心中也没来由的有一些打怵，然而等不及她做出下一个动作，那速度奇快的鬼爪已悠然而至了。
Sizzling...
cī lā ……
刺啦……
An ear-piercing sound echoed as the light barrier shook but didn't tear apart. However, the misty vapor and rainbow hues outside vanished, replaced by a thick black demonic aura. This aura seemed different from that of ancient demon realms, though Lin Xuan couldn’t pinpoint exactly how, since he hadn’t revealed his identity yet.
lìng rén yá suān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà guāng zhào suī rán méi yǒu bèi sī pò ， dàn yě huàng dòng bù yǐ ， zhì yú guāng zhào qián yīn yūn de wù qì yǔ wǔ cǎi de xiá guāng yǐ bú jiàn le zōng jì ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī piàn yǒu hēi de mó qì 。 dàn zhè mó qì ， yǔ gǔ mó jiè de mó qì sì hū yòu lüè yǒu bù tóng ， jù tǐ chā bié shì shén me ， lín xuān yě nán yǐ shuō dé qīng chǔ ， bì jìng tā xiàn zài hái bù xiǎng jiāng shēn fèn bào lù， shén shí méi yǒu fàng chū ， nà me jiù zhǐ néng píng gǎn jué le 。
令人牙酸的声音传入耳朵，那光罩虽然没有被撕破，但也晃动不已，至于光罩前氤氲的雾气与五彩的霞光已不见了踪迹，取而代之的是一片黝黑的魔气。但这魔气，与古魔界的魔气似乎又略有不同，具体差别是什么，林轩也难以说得清楚，毕竟他现在还不想将身份暴lù，神识没有放出，那么就只能凭感觉了。
This falling cloud silk wasn’t her own life-bound artifact but had been refined for over a thousand years to the point where she could control it at will. Although she managed to block the claw, it didn't give up. The immense force continued to emanate from its fingertips.
zhè luò yún shā suī rán bú shì zì jǐ de běn mìng fǎ bǎo ， dàn jīng guò cǐ nǚ qiān yú nián de jì liàn yě zǎo dào le shōu fā yóu xīn de dì bù ， suī rán jiāng nà yī zhǎo dǎng zhù ， dàn nà guǐ zhǎo bìng méi yǒu fàng qì ， yóu tā zhǐ jiān shàng yī jiù chuán lái páng bó jù lì 。
这落云纱虽然不是自己的本命法宝，但经过此女千余年的祭炼也早到了收发由心的地步，虽然将那一爪挡住，但那鬼爪并没有放弃，由它指尖上依旧传来磅礴巨力。
Under such circumstances, the barrier was constantly under threat of breaking. The female cultivator dared not be careless and flicked her hand again, sending a spell towards the barrier while her entire body emitted a burst of spiritual light, trying to retreat. However, an inexplicable scene unfolded: the surrounding air suddenly became rigid, like chains binding her. Although she wasn’t completely immobilized, escaping was clearly impossible.
zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， hù zhào suí shí kě néng bèi pò ， cǐ nǚ qǐ gǎn dà yì qīng hū ， yī biān yù shǒu yī fú ， yī dào fǎ jué xiàng zhe hù zhào dǎ qù ， tóng shí hún shēn shàng xià líng guāng zhòu qǐ ， xiǎng yào tuì dào yuǎn chù ， rán ér bù kě sī yì de yí mù chū xiàn le ， zhōu wéi de kōng qì ， zhòu rán biàn dé níng zhì ， fǎng fú jiā suǒ ， cǐ nǚ suī rán bìng fēi dòng tán bù dé ， dàn xiǎng yào táo zǒu ， míng xiǎn shì bù kě néng de 。
这种情况下，护罩随时可能被破，此女岂敢大意轻忽，一边玉手一拂，一道法诀向着护罩打去，同时浑身上下灵光骤起，想要退到远处，然而不可思议的一幕出现了，周围的空气，骤然变得凝滞，仿佛枷锁，此女虽然并非动弹不得，但想要逃走，明显是不可能的。
The process seemed complex but took only an instant.
zhěng gè guò chéng shuō qǐ lái fán fù ， qí shí bù guò yì xī de gōng fu 。
整个过程说起来繁复，其实不过异息的功夫。
Lingxu Zhenren and the scholar-robed cultivator were both shocked. Su Yunfeng stood in front of them without moving. How did he control that ghost claw to attack his sister?
líng xū zhēn rén yǔ nà rú páo xiū shì dà jīng jiā sè， sū yún fēng jiù zhàn zài liǎng rén de shēn qián ， yī dòng wèi dòng ， tā jiū jìng shì zěn yàng cāo zòng nà guǐ zhǎo qù gōng jī shī mèi de ？
灵虚真人与那儒袍修士大惊夹sè，苏云峰就站在两人的身前，一动未动，他究竟是怎样操纵那鬼爪去攻击师妹的？
They didn't have time to ponder, suspecting they might have been deceived by the other party's illusion. Could this Su Yunfeng be a puppet left behind by the demon from beyond the heavens?
liǎng rén bù qīng chǔ ， yě méi yǒu shí jiān chuǎi mó ， yǐn yǐn jué de kǒng pà bèi duì fāng de huàn shù gěi piàn le ， nán dào yǎn qián de sū yún fēng shì jiǎ de ， zhǐ shì tiān wài mó tóu liú xià lái de yī jù kuǐ lěi me ？
两人不清楚，也没有时间揣摩，隐隐觉得恐怕被对方的幻术给骗了，难道眼前的苏云峰是假的，只是天外魔头留下来的一具傀儡么？
But before these thoughts could fully form, the supposed puppet moved.
rán ér zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， nà yí sì kuǐ lěi de jiā huo què dòng le 。
然而这个念头尚未转过，那疑似傀儡的家伙却动了。
He slightly shook his shoulders, and two ghostly shadows shot out of his body.
zhǐ jiàn tā jiān tóu wēi wēi yī dǒu ， liǎng gè xū yǐng cóng shēn tǐ lǐ tán shè ér chū 。
只见他肩头微微一抖，两个虚影从身体里弹射而出。
The shadow on the left corner turned to the scholar-robed cultivator with a slight smile. Its arms moved swiftly, creating hundreds of fist shadows that covered half the sky.
zuǒ biān de xū yǐng duì zhe nà rú páo xiū shì ， zuǐ jiǎo wēi wēi qiào qǐ ， liǎng zhǐ shǒu bì yī dòng ， shà shí jiān ， chéng bǎi shàng qiān de quán yǐng mí sàn ér chū ， zhē dǎng zhù bàn biān tiān mù 。
左边的虚影对着那儒袍修士，嘴角微微翘起，两只手臂一动，霎时间，成百上千的拳影弥散而出，遮挡住半边天幕。
The scholar-robed cultivator was shocked into silence. He had no time to care about his sister; while comrade bonds were good, his own life was more important.
rú páo xiū shì dà jīng shī sè， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， nǎ hái yǒu xīn qíng qù guǎn shī mèi shén me ， tóng mén qíng yì suī rán bù cuò ， dàn zì jǐ de xiǎo mìng cái shì zuì zhòng yào de 。
儒袍修士大惊失sè，此时此刻，哪还有心情去管师妹什么，同门情谊虽然不错，但自己的小命才是最重要的。
He hastily summoned his treasure, which turned out to be a plain ancient book.
zhǐ jiàn tā xīn jí huǒ liǎo de jì chū le zì jǐ de bǎo wù ， què shì yī běn pǔ shí wú huá de gǔ shū 。
只见他心急火燎的祭出了自己的宝物，却是一本朴实无华的古书。
As he opened it, golden text poured out and rapidly grew in size, transforming into ancient inscriptions the size of his head. These inscriptions emitted an intimidating aura as they struck the fist shadows above him.
shū yè fān kāi ， wú shù jīn sè de wén zì yóu lǐ miàn pēn bó chū lái ， qīng qīng yī zhuǎn ， jiù biàn dà le shí yú bèi fāng yuán ， rú tóng tóu lú dà xiǎo de shàng gǔ zhuàn wén ， sàn fà zhe lìng rén wèi jù de qì xī ， xiàng zhe nà tóu dǐng de quán yǐng zá qù 。
书页翻开，无数金sè的文字由里面喷薄出来，轻轻一转，就变大了十余倍方圆，如同头颅大小的上古篆文，散发着令人畏惧的气息，向着那头顶的拳影砸去。
Thunderous explosions filled the air, and dazzling golden light mixed with black energy rained down.
yī shí jiān ， hōng lōng lóng de bào xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ ， mǎn tiān dōu shì xuàn mù dì jīn guāng yǔ hēi qì 。
一时间，轰隆隆的爆响声传入耳里，满天都是炫目的金光与黑气。
On the other side, Lingxu Zhenren wasn’t faring any better. The shadow on his right cheek bulged, expanding its face to cover most of it. From within, dark red demonic flames poured out.
lìng yī biān ， líng xū zhēn rén yě bù hǎo guò ， zhǐ jiàn yòu biān de xū yǐng sāi bāng yī gǔ ， zuǐ bā yī xià zi biàn dà le xǔ duō ， jiāng zhěng gè liǎn kǒng de dà bàn dōu zhàn jù le ， cóng lǐ miàn pēn yǒng chū lái de ， shì hēi hóng sè de mó huǒ 。
另一边，灵虚真人也不好过，只见右边的虚影腮帮一鼓，嘴巴一下子变大了许多，将整个脸孔的大半都占据了，从里面喷涌出来的，是黑红sè的魔火。
Wherever these flames touched, space seemed ignited.
nà mó huǒ suǒ guò zhī chù ， kōng jiān fǎng fú dōu bèi diǎn rán le 。
那魔火所过之处，空间仿佛都被点燃了。
Lingxu Zhenren didn't dare be careless and flicked his whisker. Several dragons with blood-red mouths appeared before him, spewing fiery blasts.
líng xū zhēn rén bù gǎn dà yì ， fú chén yī dǒu ， tā de miàn qián chū xiàn le jǐ tiáo zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo de jiāo lóng ， zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， yě shì yī dào dào de liè yàn pēn chū 。
灵虚真人不敢大意，拂尘一抖，他的面前出现了几条张牙舞爪的蛟龙，张开血盆大口，也是一道道的烈焰喷出。
Regardless of the power of this round of attacks from beyond the heavens, at least it managed to hold back two cultivators. The female in palace attire, without her fellow cultivator's support, was now in a precarious situation.
qiě bù shuō tiān wài mó tóu zhè yī bō gōng jī de wēi lì jiū jìng rú hé ， zhì shǎo chéng gōng jiāng liǎng míng xiū shì tuō zhù ， dé bú dào tóng mén yuán shǒu de gōng zhuāng nǚ xiū ， xíng shì kě jiù kān yōu 。
且不说天外魔头这一bō攻击的威力究竟如何，至少成功将两名修士拖住，得不到同门援手的宫装女修，形势可就堪忧。
The air had turned into chains, making her unable to escape quickly. Meanwhile, the light barrier grew thinner and thinner. Her face showed extreme panic as she spat out some of her life essence. Unfortunately, it was useless. A sizzling sound echoed, and the light barrier shattered.
kōng qì biàn chéng le jiā suǒ ， ràng tā jí qiè zhī jiān wú fǎ táo tuō ， ér guāng zhào què yuè lái yuè báo ， cǐ nǚ de liǎn shàng mǎn shì huáng jí zhī sè， shèn zhì pēn chū le jǐ kǒu yùn shě běn mìng zhēn yuán de jīng xuè ， kě xī méi yòng ， cī lā shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， guāng zhào suì liè diào le 。
空气变成了枷锁，让她急切之间无法逃脱，而光罩却越来越薄，此女的脸上满是惶急之sè，甚至喷出了几口蕴舍本命真元的精血，可惜没用，刺啦声传入耳朵，光罩碎裂掉了。
"Ahh!"
“ a ！”
“啊！”
A cry filled the air as the female cultivator fell into the other party's grasp. The sharp claws pierced through her body like swords. Flames of dark red demonic energy ignited on the claws, reducing her to ashes before she could even escape with her spirit essence.
cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì cǐ nǚ yǐ luò rù le duì fāng de zhǎng wò ， bèi nà guǐ zhǎo zhuā zhù ， jiān ruì de zhǐ jiǎ ， rú lì jiàn yì bān ， jiāng tā shēn tǐ chuān guò ， suí hòu mó zhǎo shàng rán qǐ le hēi hóng sè de mó huǒ ， cǐ nǚ lián yuán yīng dōu méi lái de jí táo tuō ， bèi huà wéi huī jìn le 。
惨叫声传入耳朵，却是此女已落入了对方的掌握，被那鬼爪抓住，尖锐的指甲，如利剑一般，将她身体穿过，随后魔爪上燃起了黑红sè的魔火，此女连元婴都没来得及逃脱，被化为灰烬了。
The entire process was swift, and within a few breaths, one late-stage spirit projection cultivator had been killed.
Three cultivators from the Ethereal Immortal Palace each displayed their prowess. Their combined assault was like a sudden storm, and Lin Xuan couldn't help but wonder if he were in their shoes, even with his abilities, he wouldn’t dare be careless. However, the reputation of the demon from beyond the heavens was no joke...
Just as the attack was mere meters away, Su Yunfeng let out a low chuckle and raised his head. But at this moment, he wasn't just an ordinary martial artist.
His eyes turned blood red, and a thick black aura enveloped his face. The originally handsome features appeared grotesque under the eerie demonic energy.
Facing the attacks from all sides, a mocking smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
"Bang!"
Without any additional movements, his body suddenly swelled up like a ball, then spun around before exploding into pieces.
Countless blood threads scattered in every direction. As a result, the emerald green flying knives and myriad silver needles of the magical artifacts, as well as the purple spear formed from the righteous energy, all landed uselessly.
They could only watch helplessly as these blood threads coiled up and reformed into a human figure over a hundred meters away.

But before he could fully process his thoughts, the most powerful cultivator, Lingxu Zhenren, suddenly widened his eyes as if discovering something terrifying. He shouted loudly: "Sister, dodge quickly!"

As soon as the treasure was released, a flash of spirit light transformed it into a layer of pink light that enveloped her.
Outside the light barrier, misty vapor and faintly visible rainbow hues lingered.
The female cultivator's actions were swift. However, before she could react, a sizzling sound filled the air. A dark ghost claw suddenly appeared in front of the light barrier.
This claw was over ten meters long, completely black with purple tinges, emitting wisps of black energy.

The entire process was swift, and within a few breaths, one late-stage spirit projection cultivator had been killed.
