lín xuān jiān tóu yī dǒu ， kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ ， yǐ cóng yuán dì xiāo shī le zōng jì 。
林轩肩头一抖，空间波动骤起，已从原地消失了踪迹。
Lin Xuan's shoulders twitched, and a spatial fluctuation erupted. He had vanished from sight.
jiǔ tiān wēi bù yǔ dāng chū xiāng bǐ ， zǎo yǐ shén miào dào bù kě sī yì 。
九天微步与当初相比，早已神妙到不可思议。
The Nine Heaven Microsteps were now far beyond comprehension compared to their initial form.
xià yī kè ， tā de shēn xíng fú xiàn ér chū ， yǔ hēi fū rén xiāng jù ， bù guò shù chǐ 。
下一刻，他的身形浮现而出，与黑夫人相距，不过数尺。
In the next moment, his figure appeared, just a few feet away from the Black Lady.
cǐ nǚ dà jīng shī sè ， suī rán tā yě zhī dào lín xuān de shén tōng fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rán ér sú huà shuō ， bǎi wén bù rú yī jiàn ， páng guān chuǎi mó ， nǎ jí dé shàng qīn shēn gǎn wù ， cǐ kè yǔ lín xuān jiāo shǒu ， cái shēn qiè de tǐ huì dào tā de kě pà zhī chù 。
此女大惊失色，虽然她也知道林轩的神通非同小可，然而俗话说，百闻不如一见，旁观揣摩，哪及得上亲身感悟，此刻与林轩交手，才深切的体会到他的可怕之处。
She was shocked, though she knew Lin Xuan’s abilities were formidable. As they say, seeing is believing; mere speculation could never match firsthand experience. Engaging with Lin Xuan now made her acutely aware of his terrifying prowess.
zài nà yī kè ， sǐ wáng de yīn yǐng zài xīn tóu fú xiàn ér chū ， suī rán duì lín xuān yī jiù hèn dào jí chù ， rán ér kǒng jù dào dǐ zhàn dào le shàng fēng 。
在那一刻，死亡的阴影在心头浮现而出，虽然对林轩依旧恨到极处，然而恐惧到底占到了上风。
At that moment, the shadow of death emerged in her heart. Despite still hating him to the core, fear ultimately took the upper hand.
yī shēng jīng hū ， cǐ nǚ zhuǎn shēn táo xiàng le yuǎn chù 。
一声惊呼，此女转身逃像了远处。
A startled cry escaped as she turned and fled towards a distant spot.
rán ér zhè shí hòu cái zuò chū xuǎn zé ， wèi miǎn yǒu xiē chí le 。
然而这时候才做出选择，未免有些迟了。
However, by making this choice at this time, it was too late.
shēn cè de kōng qì zhōng ， chuán lái yì yàng bō dòng 。
身侧的空气中，传来异样波动。
An unusual fluctuation rippled through the air beside her.
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
"Bad luck!"
cǐ nǚ dà jīng shī sè ， rán ér yǐ lái bù jí duǒ ， zhǐ jué méi xīn yī rè ， yī dào lì máng yǐ chuān pò le tā de tóu lú ， xiān xuè shùn jiān kuáng yǒng ér chū 。
此女大惊失色，然而已来不及躲，只觉眉心一热，一道厉芒已穿破了她的头颅，鲜血瞬间狂涌而出。
She was alarmed but could no longer dodge. A sharp pain shot to her brow, and a vicious beam pierced her skull, causing blood to gush forth instantly.
cǐ nǚ de liǎn shàng yóu zì dài zhe bù néng zhì xìn zhī sè ， suí hòu “ pēng ” de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì tā jiāng ròu shēn zì bào diào le 。
此女的脸上犹自带着不能置信之色，随后“嘭”的一声传入耳朵，却是她将肉身自爆掉了。
Her face still bore an expression of disbelief as she exploded in a loud "bang," disintegrating her physical body.
néng gòu zài rú cǐ duǎn de shí jiān ， zuò chū zhè yàng de xuǎn zé ， cǐ nǚ yě suàn hěn lì guǒ jué de rén wù 。
能够在如此短的时间，做出这样的选择，此女也算狠厉果决的人物。
Though she made such a choice within a short time, she was indeed ruthless and decisive. Unfortunately for her, facing Lin Xuan meant nothing could save her. The Black Mother Shield had already been summoned to block the explosion's remnants; how could he let her婴 soul escape?
kě xī miàn duì lín xuān ， yī jiù méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， xuán qīng zi mǔ dùn yǐ bèi jì chū ， bào zhà de yú bō bèi qīng yì dǎng zhù ， lín xuān zěn me kě néng fàng rèn qí yuán yīng táo tuō 。
可惜面对林轩，依旧没有用处，玄青子母盾已被祭出，爆炸的余波被轻易挡住，林轩怎么可能放任其元婴逃脱。
Knowing that this black spirit drill wasn't his most hidden secret technique but still threw him into chaos, it was impossible for a late-stage cultivator to handle.
yào zhī dào zhè mò líng zuān suī rán bù néng shuō shì tā yā xiāng dǐ de mì shù ， dàn zhòu rán shǐ chū ， jiù suàn shì dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， duō bàn yě huì shǒu máng jiǎo luàn yī fān de 。
要知道这墨灵钻虽然不能说是他压箱底的秘术，但骤然使出，就算是渡劫期老怪物，多半也会手忙脚乱一番的。
Her physical body was now completely destroyed, yet releasing her婴 soul would still be a lingering threat. Lin Xuan's character wouldn't allow such an outcome.
rú jīn cǐ nǚ de ròu shēn yǐ rán wán quán huǐ le dàn fàng tā de yuán yīng huí qù ， yī jiù shì hòu huàn wú qióng ， yǐ lín xuān de xìng gé ， zhè zhǒng shì qíng shì jué bù yǔn xǔ de 。
如今此女的肉身已然完全毁了但放她的元婴回去，依旧是后患无穷，以林轩的性格，这种事情是绝不允许的。
With a wave of his sleeve, a green hand appeared above the infant soul and swiftly snatched it…
xiù páo yī fú ， yī zhī qīng sè dà shǒu zài nà yuán yīng de tóu dǐng fú xiàn ér chū ， sù dù jí kuài ， suí hòu háo bù yóu yù de lāo le xià lái …
袖袍一拂，一只青色大手在那元婴的头顶浮现而出，速度极快，随后毫不犹豫的捞了下来…
The infant soul hadn’t even had time to teleport when it was caught. Lin Xuan exhaled in relief, his expression satisfied.
yuán yīng hái lái bù jí shùn yí ， jiù yǐ bèi zhuō zhù ， lín xuān jiàn le sōng le kǒu qì ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng dà wèi mǎn yì 。
元婴还来不及瞬移，就已被捉住，林轩见了松了口气，脸上的表情大为满意。
"Little Lin, don't get too cocky. Even as a ghost, I won't let you off," came a venomous voice. Before the words were fully spoken, she self-destructed.
“ lín xiǎo zi ， nǐ bú yào tài guò dé yì ， běn fū rén zuò guǐ yě bú huì fàng guò nǐ 。” yuàn dú zhī jí de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， huà yīn wèi luò ， cǐ nǚ jū rán zì jǐ zì bào diào le 。
“林小子，你不要太过得意，本夫人做鬼也不会放过你。”怨毒之极的声音传入耳朵，话音未落，此女居然自己自爆掉了。
"As a ghost, you still won't let me go?"
“ zuò guǐ yě bú huì jiāng wǒ fàng guò ？”
“做鬼也不会将我放过？”
Lin Xuan's lips curled in mockery. Did you know that my beloved woman is the reincarnation of the Asura King?
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè ， nǐ kě zhī dào běn shào yé xīn ài de nǚ rén jiù shì ā xiū luó wáng zhuǎn shì me ？
林轩嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲之色，你可知道本少爷心爱的女人就是阿修罗王转世么？
Even if you turned into the most vicious ghost, what could you do to me? You'd only have to bow and submit.
jiù suàn nǐ zhēn biàn chéng le zuì xiōng è de lì guǐ ， yòu néng ná wǒ rú hé ， hái bú shì zhǐ yǒu fǔ shǒu chēng chén lái zhe 。
就算你真变成了最凶恶的厉鬼，又能拿我如何，还不是只有俯首称臣来着。
The entire process seemed complicated but took mere moments.
zhěng gè guò chéng shuō qǐ lái fán fù ， qí shí bù guò shùn xī de gōng fu 。
整个过程说起来繁复，其实不过瞬息的功夫。
After eliminating the Black Lady, Lin Xuan closed his eyes and released his immensely powerful divine consciousness…
lín xuān jiāng hēi fū rén miè shā yǐ hòu lì kè bì shàng shuāng móu ， jiāng qiáng dà yǐ jí de shén shí fàng chū ……
林轩将黑夫人灭杀以后立刻闭上双眸，将强大以极的神识放出……
Soon, he locked onto the farthest fleeing cultivator. With a burst of green light, he flew over at incredible speed.
hěn kuài ， jiù suǒ dìng le táo dé zuì yuǎn de yī míng xiū xiān zhě ， suí hòu hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， fēng chí diàn chè de fēi le guò qù 。
很快，就锁定了逃得最远的一名修仙者，随后浑身青芒一起，风驰电掣的飞了过去。
Lin Xuan's strength far surpassed that of his peers, making his speed equally impressive. At full throttle, it was as if he had teleported; one moment he was in sight, and the next, he was on the horizon.
lín xuān de shí lì yuǎn shèng tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， zhè dùn sù yě shì yī yàng de ， quán lì shī zhǎn zhī xià ， sù dù zhī kuài ， jiù fǎng ruò shùn yí yì bān ， qián yī kè hái zài yǎn qián xià yī shùn jiān yǐ nuó yí dào le tiān biān 。
林轩的实力远胜同阶修仙者，这遁速也是一样的，全力施展之下，速度之快，就仿若瞬移一般，前一刻还在眼前下一瞬间已挪移到了天边。
He believed she couldn't escape far.
tā xiāng xìn duì fāng jué duì táo bù yuǎn 。
他相信对方绝对逃不远。
Rumbles filled the air as the old man in brown robes turned pale with fear.
hōng lōng lóng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ zào páo lǎo zhě de liǎn shàng mǎn shì tiě qīng zhī sè 。
轰隆隆的声音传入耳朵皂袍老者的脸上满是铁青之色。
He had been the fastest to run away, expecting a chance at survival.
tā shì jiàn jī pǎo dé zuì kuài de yí gè 。
他是见机跑得最快的一个。
Instead, he found himself surrounded by countless demonic insects.
yuán běn yǐ wéi zì jǐ dà yǒu jī huì táo chū shēng tiān de 。
原本以为自己大有机会逃出生天的。
"Bloodfire Ants!"
nǎ zhī dào ， cǐ kè què bèi pū tiān gài dì de mó chóng gěi tuán tuán bāo wéi le 。
哪知道，此刻却被铺天盖地的魔虫给团团包围了。
The old man's voice was laced with teeth-grinding anger, his expression twisted into an almost unrecognizable grimace. At his level, his knowledge of such creatures was vast.
“ xuè huǒ yǐ ！”
“血火蚁！”
Recognizing the Bloodfire Ants as a notorious savage insect, he had no doubt about their identity.
zào páo lǎo zhě de shēng yīn kān chēng shì yǎo yá qiè chǐ yǐ jí ， biǎo qíng gèng shì zhēng níng dào le wú yǐ fù jiā de jìng dì ， shí lì dào le tā zhè ge děng jí ， jiàn shí nà zì rán yě shì jí wéi guǎng bó dì 。
皂袍老者的声音堪称是咬牙切齿以极，表情更是狰狞到了无以复加的境地，实力到了他这个等级，见识那自然也是极为广博地。
In truth, individually these demonic insects were insignificant, but in large numbers, they could be troublesome to escape or drive away. They fought with reckless abandon, fearlessly charging forward.
xuè huǒ yǐ zuò wéi mán huāng qí chóng shēng míng yuǎn bō ， tā zì rán shì yī yǎn jiù néng gòu rèn chū lái de 。
血火蚁作为蛮荒奇虫声名远播，他自然是一眼就能够认出来的。
Now, surrounded by the swarm, he was overwhelmed; the buzzing noise drove him mad. Knowing that if he delayed, Lin Xuan would arrive and end his life, he didn't want to die. As a late-stage cultivator, he had many years left.
píng xīn lái shuō zhè zhǒng mó chóng dān gè de zhàn dòu lì ， bù zhí yī tí rán ér shù liàng ruò shì duō dào yí dìng de dì bù ， xiǎng yào bǎi tuō huò shì qū zhú ， jiù yǒu xiē lìng rén tóu téng le 。
平心来说这种魔虫单个的战斗力，不值一提然而数量若是多到一定的地步，想要摆脱或是驱逐，就有些令人头疼了。
But before this thought could fully form, a chilling sensation hit from behind.
bì jìng mó chóng yǔ xiū shì bù tóng ， tā men suǒ fā dòng de ， nǎi shì hàn bù wèi sǐ de jìn gōng 。
毕竟魔虫与修士不同，它们所发动的，乃是悍不畏死的进攻。
Could it be...
cǐ kè tā jiù bèi chóng qún tuán tuán wéi zhù ， shā bù shèng shā ， nà wēng wēng zhī shēng ， jiǎn zhí yào lìng rén fā fēng 。
此刻他就被虫群团团围住，杀不胜杀，那嗡嗡之声，简直要令人发疯。
The old man turned around to see a streak of light appear in his vision. His expression became utterly terrified as he desperately tried to flee.
yào zhī dào ， suī rán yǎn qián de mó chóng ná tā wú kě nài hé ， dàn ruò shì jì xù dān gē ， yī huì er děng nà lín xiǎo zi huǎn chū shǒu lái dào cǐ chù ， zì jǐ de xiǎo mìng kě jiù yào zàng sòng zài zhè lǐ 。
要知道，虽然眼前的魔虫拿他无可奈何，但若是继续耽搁，一会儿等那林小子缓出手来到此处，自己的小命可就要葬送在这里。
Boom!
tā bù xiǎng yǔn luò ， zuò wéi fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， zì jǐ hái yǒu dà bǎ de suì yuè hǎo huó 。
他不想陨落，作为分神期修仙者，自己还有大把的岁月好活。
The Bloodfire Ants wouldn't let him escape; they began self-destructing.
rán ér zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， bèi hòu tū rán chuán lái yī zhèn liáng sōu sōu de gǎn jué 。
然而这个念头尚未转过，背后突然传来一阵凉飕飕的感觉。
Even a late-stage existence was pushed back by the terrifying shockwave.
nán dào shuō ……
难道说……
Dizzy and disoriented, Lin Xuan's figure appeared before him.
zào páo lǎo zhě huí guò tóu ， jiù kàn jiàn yī dào jīng hóng chū xiàn zài shì xiàn zhōng 。
皂袍老者回过头，就看见一道惊虹出现在视线中。
"Bad luck!"
dùn shí ， tā de biǎo qíng biàn dé wú bǐ jīng kǒng 。
顿时，他的表情变得无比惊恐。
The old man wanted to summon his defensive treasure, hoping for the best.
pīn le mìng de wǎng qián chōng 。
拼了命的往前冲。
This choice might have been right, but it was too late now.
hōng lōng lóng ！
轰隆隆！
Lin Xuan raised his right hand and punched forward with immense force.
xuè huǒ yǐ qǐ huì ràng tā táo tuō ， jìng rán kāi shǐ zì bào qǐ lái le 。
血火蚁岂会让他逃脱，竟然开始自爆起来了。
Boom!
qiáng rú fēn shén qī cún zài ， yě bèi nà kě pà de qì làng tuī le huí lái 。
强如分神期存在，也被那可怕的气浪推了回来。
Spatial distortion occurred as he shattered the shield he had summoned.
tóu yūn mù xuàn ！
头晕目眩！
An unimaginable force struck him in the chest.
suí jí ， lín xuān de shēn yǐng yìng rù le yǎn lián 。
随即，林轩的身影映入了眼帘。
With such proximity, there was no time for other reactions.
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
His chest caved inward.
zào páo lǎo zhě xiǎng yào jì chū fáng yù de bǎo wù ， bù qiú yǒu gōng ， dàn qiú wú guò 。
皂袍老者想要祭出防御的宝物，不求有功，但求无过。
Puff...
zhè yàng de xuǎn zé yuán běn méi cuò 。
这样的选择原本没错。
Blood gushed from his mouth.
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， què yǐ jīng lái bù jí le 。
然而此时此刻，却已经来不及了。
The infant soul in his dantian was knocked unconscious by the sheer force.
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī quán měng rán xiàng qián huī le chū qù 。
林轩右手抬起，一拳猛然向前挥了出去。
Though the injury was severe, with proper care it could have healed. Unfortunately, he had no such opportunity now.
hōng ！
轰！
With a wave of his sleeve, Lin Xuan sent out a sword beam that effortlessly decapitated him.
kōng jiān yī zhèn niǔ qū 。
空间一阵扭曲。
Following this, a fireball flew from his fingertips, reducing both body and infant soul to ash.
tā suǒ jì chū de nà miàn dùn pái ， jū rán bèi hōng chéng le liǎng bàn 。
他所祭出的那面盾牌，居然被轰成了两半。
In less than a breath's time, Lin Xuan had eliminated another late-stage cultivator. With his current strength, facing peers was like dealing with chickens against dogs.
yī gǔ nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de jù lì dāng xiōng xí lái 。
一股难以想象的巨力当胸袭来。
Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction but quickly darkened as he frowned.
zhè yàng jìn de jù lí ， yǐ lái bù jí yǒu qí tā de yìng biàn 。
这样近的距离，已来不及有其他的应变。
Reasonably, his speed in eliminating enemies was fast enough. However, the number of elders from the three alliances was too many.
tā de xiōng kǒu xiàng xià āo xiàn 。
他的胸口向下凹陷。
Though the Bloodfire Ants were numerous, they could only buy limited time.
pū ……
噗……
Fortunately, this didn't pose a challenge for Lin Xuan.
yī kǒu xiān xuè pēn bó 。
一口鲜血喷薄。
His shoulders moved slightly, and his figure blurred as he transformed into two.
yuán yīng zài dān tián qì hǎi zhōng jū rán bèi huó huó de zhèn yùn guò qù le 。
元婴在丹田气海中居然被活活的震晕过去了。
Lin Xuan released his inner clone.
shāng shì zì rán shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rán ér ruò shì xì xì tiáo yǎng yuán běn yě néng huī fù 。
伤势自然是非同小可，然而若是细细调养原本也能恢复。
While the clone's strength was less than that of the main body, it was still sufficient to deal with peers.
kě xī cǐ kè tā nǎ yǒu zhè yàng de jī huì ne ？
可惜此刻他哪有这样的机会呢？
Given his urgency, having the second infant soul eliminate enemies was a tactical choice.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào jiàn guāng fēi lüè ér chū ， zhí jiē qīng sōng yì cháng de qǔ xià le tā de tóu lú 。
林轩袖袍一拂，一道剑光飞掠而出，直接轻松异常的取下了他的头颅。
Swoosh...
suí hòu qū zhǐ wēi dàn ， yī kē huǒ dàn fēi chū zhǐ jiān 。
随后屈指微弹，一颗火弹飞出指尖。
A piercing sound echoed as Lin Xuan and his clone flew in different directions at incredible speed. The clone encountered stronger opposition first.
jiāng tā lián ròu shēn dài yuán yīng huà wèi le huī yān 。
将他连肉身带元婴化为了灰烟。
It wasn't exactly a strong opponent.
qián hòu bù guò yí gè hū xī de shí jiān ， lín xuān yòu miè shā le yī míng fèn shén qī lǎo guài ， yǐ tā rú jīn de shí lì ， tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě yǔ qí duì shàng ， jìng fǎng rú tǔ jī wǎ gǒu yì bān 。
前后不过一个呼吸的时间，林轩又灭杀了一名分神期老怪，以他如今的实力，同阶修仙者与其对上，竟仿如土鸡瓦狗一般。
She was a woman of around thirty-seven or eight, still exuding charm. Though weaker among the three alliance elders, her cultivation technique allowed rapid progression but lacked powerful abilities. Facing a Profound Mysteries realm cultivator posed no issue, but against peers, she appeared somewhat inadequate.
Lin Xuan's shoulders twitched, and a spatial fluctuation erupted. He had vanished from sight.
The Nine Heaven Microsteps were now far beyond comprehension compared to their initial form.
In the next moment, his figure appeared, just a few feet away from the Black Lady.
