zhōng lǎo guài de liǎn shàng shā jī bì lù ， jīng guò zhè jǐ gè huí hé ， lín xuān de shí lì suī rán méi néng wán quán kǎo xiào chū ， dàn zhè xiǎo zi xiǎn rán bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào nán yìng fù 。
钟老怪的脸上杀机毕露，经过这几个回合，林轩的实力虽然没能完全考校出，但这小子显然比自己想象的还要难应付。
Old Monster Zhong's face was filled with murderous intent. Although Lin Xuan’s strength had not been fully tested after these few rounds, this boy clearly proved to be more difficult to deal with than he initially imagined.
jué fēi pǔ tōng fēn shén qī cún zài néng gòu bǐ nǐ de 。
绝非普通分神期存在能够比拟的。
This wasn't something that could be compared to an ordinary Spirit Dividing Realm existence.
suī rán zuǐ bā shàng bù yuàn shuō ， rán ér dòu fǎ dào zhè yī bù ， tā nèi xīn shēn chù ， duì yú lín xuān ， zì rán hái shì yǒu jǐ fēn gù jì 。
虽然嘴巴上不愿说，然而斗法到这一步，他内心深处，对于林轩，自然还是有几分顾忌。
Although he didn’t want to admit it verbally, at this stage of the battle, his inner self naturally harbored some reservations about Lin Xuan. If he could eliminate him, he wouldn’t dare hide any weaknesses.
ruò néng jiāng qí miè shā ， yě bù gǎn zài cáng zhuō 。
若能将其灭杀，也不敢再藏拙。
After all, while it might feel satisfying to catch a mouse with a cat, if things went wrong, it could cost his life.
yào xiǎo de ， māo zhuō lǎo shǔ suī rán jiě qì ， dàn yí gè bù hǎo ， què yǒu kě néng jiāng zì jǐ xiǎo mìng dā jìn qù 。
要晓得，猫捉老鼠虽然解气，但一个不好，却有可能将自己小命搭进去。
As an old fellow who had lived for over ten thousand years, the principle of not sitting under a hanging sword was well understood. At such a time, he wouldn’t risk acting on impulse just for temporary satisfaction.
zuò wèi huó le shí yú wàn nián de lǎo jiā huǒ ， zhè qiān jīn zhī zi bù zuò chuí táng de dào lǐ tā yòu qǐ huì bù xiǎo de ， zài zhè zhǒng shí hòu ， zì rán bú huì wèi tú yī shí chàng kuài ， ér qù yì qì yòng shì de mào xiǎn 。
做为活了十余万年的老家伙，这千金之子不坐垂堂的道理他又岂会不晓得，在这种时候，自然不会为图一时畅快，而去意气用事的冒险。
Therefore, seeing the ghostly flames rip through like bamboo being split, he didn't hold back at all. Instead, his hands shot out, sending wave after wave of spells from his fingertips. His intent was clear: take advantage of his condition to end him here and now. The best outcome would be for Lin Xuan to turn into ashes.
xiǎo xīn shǐ dé wàn nián chuán 。
小心驶得万年船。
But it wasn’t that easy. While the flames were indeed formidable, even repelling the Soul Devouring Sword, Lin Xuan still had full confidence in the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire. Using fire to counteract fire, this divine technique never let him down before and he believed it would be no different this time.
suǒ yǐ yǎn jiàn wàn hún guǐ huǒ shì rú pò zhú ， tā yì diǎn liú lì de yì si yě wú ， fǎn ér shuāng shǒu lián dàn ， yī dào dào fǎ jué jī shè chū zhǐ jiān ， yòng yì hěn míng xiǎn 。
所以眼见万魂鬼火势如破竹，他一点留力的意思也无，反而双手连弹，一道道法诀激射出指尖，用意很明显。
However, despite his words, Lin Xuan didn’t dare become careless. He took a deep breath and poured all his magical power into the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire.
chèn qí bìng ， yào qí mìng ， zhǔn bèi bì qí gōng yú yī yì ， jiāng lín xuān liú zài zhè lǐ 。
趁其病，要其命，准备毕其功于一役，将林轩留在这里。
The protective barrier became even more dense, with five-colored glass-like layers shimmering faintly, revealing its mysterious and extraordinary nature.
huà wéi huī jìn shì zuì hǎo dì 。
化为灰烬是最好地。
Sss…
rán ér nǎ yǒu nà me róng yì 。
然而哪有那么容易。
A sound like a snake’s tongue flickering entered his ears. In the next moment, Lin Xuan and his protective barrier were engulfed by the dark green ghost flames.
duì fāng de huǒ yàn gù rán nán chán ， lián shì líng jiàn dōu dǐ káng bú zhù ， rán ér lín xuān duì yú huàn líng tiān huǒ yī jiù shì xìn xīn shí zú 。
对方的火焰固然难缠，连噬灵剑都抵扛不住，然而林轩对于幻灵天火依旧是信心十足。
Compared to the surrounding ghost flames, Lin Xuan seemed too weak. The protection created by the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire was like a small boat in turbulent waves, always at risk of capsizing…
yǐ huǒ kè huǒ ， cǐ shén tōng cóng lái méi yǒu ràng zì jǐ shī wàng guò ， xiāng xìn zhè huí yě shì yī yàng de 。
以火克火，此神通从来没有让自己失望过，相信这回也是一样的。
"Little fellow, why struggle? Struggling is futile. Surrendering and being refined into ashes will be much less painful."
bù guò huà shì rú cǐ ， lín xuān yě bù gǎn dà yì shū hū ， shēn shēn hū xī ， jiāng hún shēn de fǎ lì wǎng huàn líng tiān huǒ zhù rù jìn qù 。
不过话是如此，林轩也不敢大意疏忽，深深呼吸，将浑身的法力往幻灵天火注入进去。
The laughter echoed as Old Monster Zhong’s face showed his satisfaction. Lin Xuan was already enveloped by his ghost flames; there was no escape in any direction. Although the outcome wasn’t yet decided, the situation had become clear to him. He spoke with the tone of a victor.
nà hù zhào yuè fā de níng hòu yǐ jí ， qiě wǔ sè liú lí ， yǐn yǐn hái yǒu fú wén tūn tǔ ， xiǎn chū shén mì yǔ bù fán zhī chù 。
那护罩越发的凝厚以极，且五色琉璃，隐隐还有符文吞吐，显出神秘与不凡之处。
"Is that so? You know resistance is useless. Why not surrender? Heaven has mercy on living things. If I’m in a good mood, maybe I’ll spare your life."
sī ……，
嘶……，
Despite being surrounded by intense flames, Lin Xuan showed no signs of fear. His words were like a skilled orator, as if he held the upper hand.
fǎng fú mǎng shé tǔ xìn ér de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， xià yī kè ， nà lín xuān lián rén dài hù zhào ， yǐ bèi mò lǜ sè de guǐ huǒ tūn mò 。
仿佛蟒蛇吐信儿的声音传入耳朵，下一刻，那林轩连人带护罩，已被墨绿色的鬼火吞没。
"You…!"
yǔ nà màn tiān de guǐ huǒ xiāng bǐ ， lín xuān xiǎn de tài ruò xiǎo le yī xiē ， huàn líng tiān huǒ suǒ huàn huà chū lái de fáng hù ， jiù fǎng fú shì yí yè piān zhōu ， zài jīng tāo hài làng zhōng yáo bǎi qǐ fú ， suí shí jiē yǒu kě néng qīng fù ……，
与那漫天的鬼火相比，林轩显得太弱小了一些，幻灵天火所幻化出来的防护，就仿佛是一叶扁舟，在惊涛骇浪中摇摆起伏，随时皆有可能倾覆……，
Old Monster Zhong was speechless and his face grew angrier with each passing moment. After several breaths, he finally managed to spit out some blood, which exploded into a bloody mist. The skeletons’ eyes glowed red, their faces showing joy as they greedily devoured the blood mist.
“ xiǎo jiā huo ， hé bì fù yú wán kàng ne ， zhēng zhá shì tú láo de ， guāi guāi bèi liàn huà chéng huī jìn hái kě yǐ shǎo shòu xǔ duō kǔ chǔ 。”
“小家伙，何必负隅顽抗呢，挣扎是徒劳的，乖乖被炼化成灰烬还可以少受许多苦楚。”
The ghost flames they emitted became even more striking, but what followed shocked Old Monster Zhong. Although the ghostly flames had increased in power and failed to break through the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire’s protection, something incredible happened: his ghost flames were absorbed into that multicolored light screen.
yǎng tiān dà xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà zhōng lǎo guài de liǎn shàng mǎn shì dé sè ， lín xuān yǐ bèi zì jǐ de guǐ huǒ bāo guǒ ， qián hòu zuǒ yòu ， wú chǔ kě táo ， shèng fù suī rán hái méi yǒu wán quán jué chū ， dàn xíng shì xiǎn rán yǐ míng liǎo dào jí chù ， rú jīn tā shuō huà de yǔ qì ， dōu shì yǐ shèng lì zhě zì fēng 。
仰天大笑的声音传入耳朵，那钟老怪的脸上满是得色，林轩已被自己的鬼火包裹，前后左右，无处可逃，胜负虽然还没有完全决出，但形势显然已明了到极处，如今他说话的语气，都是以胜利者自封。
"How… How is this possible?"
“ shì me ， gé xià yě zhī dào wán kàng méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， hé bù shù shǒu jiù fù ， shàng tiān yǒu hào shēng zhī dé ， lín mǒu ruò shì xīn qíng bù cuò ， yě xǔ huì ráo gé xià yī tiáo xiǎo mìng ér de 。”
“是么，阁下也知道顽抗没有用处，何不束手就缚，上天有好生之德，林某若是心情不错，也许会饶阁下一条小命儿的。”
Old Monster Zhong was both astonished and angry. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, no one would have believed him. This ghostly flame was one of his trump cards, yet it had been so easily broken by the other party. It was nothing but incredible.
lín xuān suī shēn chù liè huǒ ， liǎn shàng què méi yǒu yī sī yī háo de wèi jù zhī sè ， shèn zhì lián kǒu tóu shàng yě bù yuàn yì fú shū ， qiǎo shé rú huáng xià ， fǎng fú tā cái shì zhàn jù shàng fēng de yí gè 。
林轩虽身处烈火，脸上却没有一丝一毫的畏惧之色，甚至连口头上也不愿意服输，巧舌如簧下，仿佛他才是占据上风的一个。
But Old Monster Zhong’s reaction was swift. A spell was cast, and the skeletons withdrew their ghost flames before rushing towards Lin Xuan. At the same time, he raised a hand, sending out a demon sword from his magic pouch toward Lin Xuan.
“ nǐ ……。”
“你……。”
Both attacks were overwhelming, but Lin Xuan wasn’t easily defeated. The Nine Palaces Instant Sword had been tainted, but it was no ordinary treasure. A divine thought was sent forth, and electric sparks shot from the blade while flames erupted as well.
zhōng lǎo guài bèi yē dé yī jù huà dōu shuō bù chū ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yuè jiā fèn nù ， guò le jǐ xī de gōng fu ， cái miǎn qiǎng tǔ chū yī kǒu xiōng zhōng de yuàn qì ， nà shēng yīn hán lěng dé fǎng fú lái zì jiǔ yōu dì fǔ ：“ hǎo nǐ gè bù shí hǎo dǎi de xiǎo jiā huo ， bù guò yá jiān zuǐ lì yòu yǒu shén me yòng chǔ ， yī huì er nǐ huì hòu huǐ de 。
钟老怪被噎得一句话都说不出，脸上的表情越加愤怒，过了几息的功夫，才勉强吐出一口胸中的怨气，那声音寒冷得仿佛来自九幽地府：“好你个不识好歹的小家伙，不过牙尖嘴利又有什么用处，一会儿你会后悔的。
This was a trinity of ice, fire, and lightning attributes. Under its full power, the illusory Yin Spirit Lightning附着 on it was completely nullified, leaving the Nine Palaces Instant Sword intact.
huà yīn lái luò ， zhǐ jiàn tā yī zhāng kǒu ， yī tuán jīng xuè pēn tǔ ér chū ， suí hòu pēng de yī shēng bào chéng xuè wù ， nà xiē kū lóu jiàn le ， yǎn zhōng hóng máng kuáng shǎn ， yí gè gè ， lù chū xǐ yuè bù jīn zhī sè ， dà kǒu zhāng kāi ， jiāng nà xuè wù dà kǒu tūn shí le qǐ lái 。
话音来落，只见他一张口，一团精血喷吐而出，随后嘭的一声爆成血雾，那些骷髅见了，眼中红芒狂闪，一个个，露出喜悦不禁之色，大口张开，将那血雾大口吞食了起来。
Then he closed his hand.
suí hòu ， tā men tǔ chū de guǐ huǒ yuè fā duó mù ， kě jiē xià lǐ fā shēng de yí mù ， què ràng zhōng lǎo guài dèng dà le yǎn zhū 。
随后，它们吐出的鬼火越发夺目，可接下里发生的一幕，却让钟老怪瞪大了眼珠。
Nine silver-luminous lotuses appeared.
wàn hún guǐ huǒ de wēi néng zēng jiā le xǔ duō ， rán ér yī jiù méi néng sī pò huàn líng tiān huǒ suǒ huàn huà chū de fáng hù ， rú guǒ jǐn jǐn shì zhè yàng yě jiù bà le 。
万魂鬼火的威能增加了许多，然而依旧没能撕破幻灵天火所幻化出的防护，如果仅仅是这样也就罢了。
Originally buds, they blossomed rapidly as they spun faster and faster, emitting dazzling sword energy that clashed with the demon sword from the magic pouch.
rán ér bù kě sī yì de shì ， zì jǐ de guǐ huǒ ， jū rán bèi xī shōu diào le ， méi cuò ， jiù shì xī shōu ， rú tóng wàn liú guī zōng yì bān ， róng rù jìn le nà wǔ sè guāng mù 。
然而不可思议的是，自己的鬼火，居然被吸收掉了，没错，就是吸收，如同万流归宗一般，融入进了那五色光幕。
Old Monster Zhong was shocked. The illusory Yin Spirit Lightning had always been effective against tainted treasures, but even though his tainted treasure wasn’t completely useless, it would require re-cultivation in the丹田 to regain its full power. That the opponent’s immortal sword could ignore this was a mystery.
“ zhè ， zhè zěn me kě néng ne ？”
“这，这怎么可能呢？”
The sword energy emitted by the nine lotuses wasn’t实体, so they weren’t afraid of the illusory Yin Spirit Lightning's taint and fought fiercely without clear advantage.
zhōng lǎo guài yòu jīng yòu nù ， yǎn qián de yí mù ， ruò bú shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， bù lùn shuí shuō yǔ tā tīng ， dōu bú huì xiāng xìn 。
钟老怪又惊又怒，眼前的一幕，若不是亲眼目睹，不论谁说与他听，都不会相信。
Facing the hundred and eight skeletons, Lin Xuan flicked his hand, emitting light. A very ancient scroll appeared.
cǐ guǐ huǒ ， kě shì zì jǐ de shā shǒu jiǎn zhī yī ， jū rán zhè yàng qīng sōng ， jiù bèi duì fāng pò qù 。
此鬼火，可是自己的杀手锏之一，居然这样轻松，就被对方破去。
This scroll was over three meters long and slowly unfolded to reveal twelve peaks of varying sizes.
chú le bù kě sī yì hái shì bù kě sī yì 。
除了不可思议还是不可思议。
Unlike ordinary landscape paintings, these small mountains were not green and lush; instead, they stood tall and proud, with rugged rocks piercing the clouds. There wasn’t a single flower or tree on their surfaces, but flames could be seen burning there.
dàn zhè ge lǎo guài wù fǎn yìng yě shì hěn kuài ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， nà xiē kū lóu jiù shōu le guǐ huǒ ， suí hòu lì xiào zhe xiàng lín xuān pū guò qù le 。
但这个老怪物反应也是很快，一道法诀打出，那些骷髅就收了鬼火，随后厉啸着像林轩扑过去了。
Volcanoes!
tóng shí ， tā shǒu yī tái ， jiàn hú zhōng de mó jiàn ， zài cì xiàng lín xuān jī shè guò lái 。
同时，他手一抬，剑葫中的魔剑，再次像林轩激射过来。
But they were different from typical volcanoes.
liǎng zhǒng gōng jī ， dōu kān chēng shì pū tiān gài dì ， bù guò lín xuān yě bú shì nà me hǎo duì fù dì 。
两种攻击，都堪称是铺天盖地，不过林轩也不是那么好对付地。
The most noticeable feature was some strange birds circling in the middle of these mountains. Their feathers were golden, and they had three legs, resembling the legendary Golden Birds to an extreme degree.
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn suī bèi wū zhuó ， dàn zhè dào dǐ bú shì pǔ tōng de bǎo wù ， yī dào shén niàn fā chū ， jiàn shēn shàng diàn máng sì shè ， tóng shí hái yǒu yī dào dào huǒ yàn pēn yǒng ér chū 。
九宫须臾剑虽被污浊，但这到底不是普通的宝物，一道神念发出，剑身上电芒四射，同时还有一道道火焰喷涌而出。
"What kind of treasure is this?"
zhè běn lái jiù shì bīng huǒ léi sān shǔ xìng de bǎo wù ， fā wēi zhī xià ， huàn yīn shén léi fù zhuó zài shàng miàn de xiào guǒ yě bèi héng sǎo yī kōng ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn wán hǎo rú chū 。
这本来就是冰火雷三属性的宝物，发威之下，幻阴神雷附着在上面的效果也被横扫一空，九宫须臾剑完好如初。
Old Monster Zhong, with extensive knowledge, was still somewhat startled at that moment.
suí hòu wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé 。
随后往中间一合。
Before he could fully process his thoughts, Lin Xuan pointed a finger at the scroll. Instantly, red light flared up, and in the next flash, the twelve peaks were clearly visible.
jiǔ duǒ yín guāng shǎn shǎn de lián huā fú xiàn ér chū 。
九朵银光闪闪的莲花浮现而出。
They varied in height, with even the smallest reaching over a hundred meters. Each peak had its unique shape, exuding an imposing aura that spread around them.
yuán běn shì huā gū duǒ ， kě dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， què zhàn fàng le kāi lái ， suí hòu xuán zhuǎn yuè fā de xùn sù ， yī dào dào yào mù de jiàn qì yóu lǐ miàn jī shè ér chū ， yǔ duì fāng de jiàn hú dòu zài le yì qǐ 。
原本是花骨朵，可滴溜溜一转，却绽放了开来，随后旋转越发的迅速，一道道耀目的剑气由里面激射而出，与对方的剑葫斗在了一起。
But this wasn’t finished yet. The sound of countless firebirds the size of fists flew down from nine of these peaks.
zhōng lǎo guài dà jīng shī sè ， huàn yīn shén léi wū zhù duì fāng bǎo wù xiàng lái shì wú wǎng ér bù lì de ， bèi wū huì de bǎo wù suī rán yě bú shì fèi le ， dàn bù chóng xīn zài dān tián zhōng jì liàn yī fān ， yě shì hěn nán chóng xīn fā huī xiào guǒ ， ér duì fāng de xiān jiàn jū rán néng shì zhī wèi wú wù ， zhè jiū jìng shì shén me bǎo wù 。
钟老怪大惊失色，幻阴神雷污注对方宝物向来是无往而不利的，被污秽的宝物虽然也不是废了，但不重新在丹田中祭炼一番，也是很难重新发挥效果，而对方的仙剑居然能视之为无物，这究竟是什么宝物。
Looking out, they didn’t completely block the sky, but there were still hundreds of them. Soon, they clashed with the skeletons.
Old Monster Zhong's face was filled with murderous intent. Although Lin Xuan’s strength had not been fully tested after these few rounds, this boy clearly proved to be more difficult to deal with than he initially imagined.
This wasn't something that could be compared to an ordinary Spirit Dividing Realm existence.
