ér fǎ bǎo huà xíng zhī wù ， zì rán bǐ zhēn zhèng de jiāo lóng nài dǎ dé duō 。
而法宝化形之物，自然比真正的蛟龙耐打得多。
While thetreasure transformed into a creature naturally had more resilience than an actual dragon, even so, the arrogant golden dragon was not having an easy time. The momentum of its charge abruptly halted with this single chop.
dàn ráo shì rú cǐ ， qì yàn xiāo zhāng de jīn jiāo yě bù hǎo guò ， qián chōng de shēng shì ， suí zhe zhè yī fǔ ， yìng shēng shēng de gā rán ér zhǐ le 。
但饶是如此，气焰嚣张的金蛟也不好过，前冲的声势，随着这一斧，硬生生的嘎然而止了。
"Roar!"
“ áng ！”
“昂！”
The deafening roar echoed through the air as the huge golden dragon appeared extremely enraged. Its two thick front claws swung wildly, emitting intense light and force that burst out in a mighty impact. The chopping axe was repelled with a loud "clang."
zhèn tiān dòng dì de páo xiāo shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
震天动地的咆哮声传入耳朵。
Then it swiped its tail, seemingly wanting to continue charging forward.
nà jù dà de jīn jiāo xiǎn de jí wéi fèn nù ， liǎng zhǐ cū zhuàng de qián zhǎo yī wǔ ， lì máng dà zuò ， yī gǔ jù lì hōng rán bó fā ér chū ，“ zhēng ” de jù xiǎng chuán lái ， jiāng pī kǎn zài tā tóu lú shàng de fǔ tóu dàn kāi 。
那巨大的金蛟显得极为愤怒，两只粗壮的前爪一舞，厉芒大做，一股巨力轰然勃发而出，“铮”的巨响传来，将劈砍在牠头颅上的斧头弹开。
"Clang!"
suí hòu tā wěi ba yī shuǎi ， sì hū réng xiǎng yào jì xù chōng shàng qián lái 。
随后牠尾巴一甩，似乎仍想要继续冲上前来。
However, at this moment, the sound of iron chains shaking entered his ears.
“ kuāng dāng ！”
“哐当！”
The golden dragon instinctively turned its head, but its peripheral vision truly saw a black chain coming over its head like a noose.
rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， què yǒu tiě liàn dǒu dòng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
然而就在此刻，却有铁链抖动的声音传入耳朵。
It wasn't particularly fast, but the angle was extremely cunning. The timing was perfect—just as it had repelled the massive axe, when old strength was waning and new strength hadn't yet formed, there was nowhere to escape; it was caught by that iron chain precisely where it needed to be.
jīn jiāo xià yì shí de piān le piān tóu lú ， yǎn jiǎo de yú guāng què zhēn kàn jiàn yī yǒu hēi de tiě liàn dāng tóu xiàng tā tào guò lái le 。
金蛟下意识的偏了偏头颅，眼角的余光却真看见一黝黑的铁链当头像牠套过来了。
"Roar!"
yě bù néng shuō shì hěn kuài ， dàn jiǎo dù què jí wéi diāo zuān 。
也不能说是很快，但角度却极为刁钻。
The dragon's roar became even more mournful.
shí jī yě ná niē dé qià dào hǎo chù ， zhèng shì tā gāng gāng dàn kāi jù fǔ ， jiù lì gāng jǐn ， xīn lì wèi shēng de yī kè ， duǒ wú kě duǒ ， qià hǎo bèi nà tiě liàn suǒ le gè zhèng zhe 。
时机也拿捏得恰到好处，正是牠刚刚弹开巨斧，旧力刚尽，新力未生的一刻，躲无可躲，恰好被那铁链锁了个正着。
The golden dragon naturally couldn’t just sit still. It struggled violently with its head shaking from side to side.
lóng yín shēng yuè fā de qī lì le 。
龙吟声越发的凄厉了。
Just then, a strange laughter entered his ears as the black chain shook, revealing pale white spirit flames that enveloped the entire golden dragon.
jīn jiāo zì rán bù kě néng jiù zhè yàng shù shǒu jiù fù ， yáo tóu bǎi wěi de zhēng zhá bù xiū 。
金蛟自然不可能就这样束手就缚，摇头摆尾的挣扎不休。
Fortunately, this was originally a treasure item. If it were an actual dragon, it would have suffered serious injuries; even if it didn’t immediately perish, it definitely wouldn't be left unscathed.
“ gā gā ！”
“嘎嘎！”
But still, Tianyuan Hou was extremely anxious.
piān piān jiù zài zhè shí ， què yǒu guài xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà yǒu hēi de tiě liàn yī dǒu ， cǎn bái sè de shī huǒ fú xiàn ér chū ， suí zhe tiě liàn ， jiāng zhěng gè jīn sè de jiāo lóng bāo guǒ 。
偏偏就在这时，却有怪笑声传入耳朵，那黝黑的铁链一抖，惨白sè的尸火浮现而出，随着铁链，将整个金sè的蛟龙包裹。
If this continued, his treasure would lose its spirit essence and might even be destroyed.
yě xìng hǎo ， zhè yuán běn shì yī jiàn bǎo wù ， ruò huàn chéng zhēn zhèng de jiāo lóng ， fēi zhòng shāng bù kě ， jí biàn bù mǎ shàng yǔn luò ， kěn dìng yě nán miǎn tuō shàng yī céng pí de 。
也幸好，这原本是一件宝物，若换成真正的蛟龙，非重伤不可，即便不马上陨落，肯定也难免脱上一层皮的。
He swung his hands to try and retrieve the treasure.
dàn ráo shì rú cǐ ， yě kàn dé tiān yuán hóu dà jí 。
但饶是如此，也看得天元侯大急。
However, how could Lin Xuan let him have his way at this point?
zhè yàng xià qù ， cǐ bǎo fēi líng xìng dà shī ， shèn zhì bèi huǐ qù 。
这样下去，此宝非灵xìng大失，甚至被毁去。
This was a good opportunity; he had to ensure that the old monster lost both his wife and child this time.
tā shuāng shǒu huī wǔ ， xiǎng yào shōu huí bǎo wù 。
他双手挥舞，想要收回宝物。
Lin Xuan's hands moved ceaselessly. A low, obscure incantation emerged from his mouth as it spread outwards.
rán ér shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù ， lín xuān zěn me kě néng ràng tā chèn xīn rú yì ne ？
然而事情到了这一步，林轩怎么可能让他称心如意呢？
In an instant, golden light, black rays, and pale white spirit flames intertwined and changed constantly.
dà hǎo jú miàn ， xū hǎo hǎo bǎ wò ， zhè yī cì ， fēi ràng lǎo guài wù péi le fū rén yòu zhé bīng bù kě 。
大好局面，需好好把握，这一次，非让老怪物赔了夫人又折兵不可。
Tianyuan Hou’s face turned even more grim. The strange iron chain was much more troublesome than expected. No matter how the golden dragon grew or shrank, or even reverted to its golden spear form, it could always change accordingly, like a pest clinging to its bones, tightly locking it down and making any struggle futile.
lín xuān de shuāng shǒu ， tóng yàng shì wǔ dòng bù yǐ 。 kǒu zhōng yǒu dī chén huì sè de zhòu yǔ ， mí sàn chū qù 。
林轩的双手，同样是舞动不已。口中有低沉晦涩的咒语，弥散出去。
And that huge axe, which had been repelled earlier, now flew back into battle.
yī shí zhī jiān ， zhǐ jiàn jīn guāng hēi máng ， hái yǒu cǎn bái sè de shī huǒ ， jiǎo hé zài yì qǐ bù duàn biàn huà zhe 。
一时之间，只见金光黑芒，还有惨白sè的尸火，搅合在一起不断变化着。
No, there were not just two axes. Two rusted halberds also returned from who knows where, joining the attack on the golden dragon.
tiān yuán hóu de liǎn sèyīn chén dào jí chù ， nà guǐ yì de tiě liàn bǐ xiǎng xiàng de yào nán chán dé duō ， bù guǎn jīn jiāo biàn dà hái shì biàn xiǎo ， shèn zhì huán yuán chéng jīn sè de cháng qiāng 。 tā dōu néng gòu suí zhī gǎi biàn ， rú fū gǔ zhī qū yī yàng ， jiāng qí láo láo jǐn suǒ ， gēn běn zhēng zhá bù tuō 。
天元侯的脸sèyīn沉到极处，那诡异的铁链比想象的要难缠得多，不管金蛟变大还是变小，甚至还原成金sè的长枪。牠都能够随之改变，如跗骨之蛆一样，将其牢牢紧锁，根本挣扎不脱。
In an instant, the sky was filled with black rays and spirit energy, becoming more dazzling than ever before. The brilliant golden light seemed to fade into obscurity.
ér yuán běn bèi dàn kāi de jù fǔ ， cǐ shí yòu fēi le huí lái ， jiā rù zhàn tuán 。
而原本被弹开的巨斧，此时又飞了回来，加入战团。
This couldn't continue; otherwise, his own treasure would be destroyed in this man's hands.
bù ， hái bù zhǐ shì jù fǔ ， bù zhī dào cóng nǎ lǐ ， yòu fēi huí lái liǎng zhǐ xiù jì bān bān de zhǎng gē 。 yì qǐ jiā rù le duì jīn jiāo de wéi gōng 。
不，还不止是巨斧，不知道从哪里，又飞回来两只锈迹斑斑的长戈。一起加入了对金蛟的围攻。
Tianyuan Hou was both angry and anxious as he considered using another technique.
yī shí jiān ， tiān kōng zhōng ， hēi máng shī qì 。 yuè fā de liàng lì wú bǐ ， ér nà cuǐ càn de jīn sè guāng máng ， què xiǎn de àn dàn yǐ jí 。
一时间，天空中，黑芒尸气。越发的亮丽无比，而那璀璨的金sè光芒，却显得暗淡以极。
But at this moment, a loud "bang" echoed through the air, followed by a sensation of being hit on the chest with a large hammer. His blood and qi surged...
bù néng zhè yàng xià qù ， fǒu zé ， zì jǐ zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， fēi huǐ zài tā shǒu zhōng bù kě 。
不能这样下去，否则，自己这件宝物，非毁在他手中不可。
The pain was indescribable—clearly, his spirit essence-bound treasure had been destroyed.
tiān yuán hóu yòu jí yòu nù ， zhèng xiǎng yào shǐ yòng bié de zhāo shù 。
天元侯又急又怒，正想要使用别的招数。
He勉强 (qiǎng miǎn):勉强 means '勉强' which can be translated as勉强:勉强 effort or reluctantly. opened his eyes to see that the golden spear had already turned into several pieces, floating some dozen feet ahead in midair.
rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ，“ pēng ” de yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu tā gǎn jué xiōng kǒu rú bèi dà chuí zhèng miàn jī zhòng 。 yī zhèn qì xuè fān yǒng ……
然而就在此刻，“嘭”的一声巨响传入耳朵，随后他感觉胸口如被大锤正面击中。一阵气血翻涌……
Accursed!
nà tòng kǔ nàn yǐ yán yù ， míng xiǎn shì xīn shén qiān chě de bǎo wù bèi huǐ qù 。
那痛苦难以言喻，明显是心神牵扯的宝物被毁去。
This was his own life force treasure, though not used by its true form, and even so, it took a great deal of effort to craft for this incarnation. It had been destroyed so easily here. Tianyuan Hou's anger and shock were beyond measure.
tā miǎn qiǎng zhēng kāi shuāng yǎn ， wǎng qián miàn yī kàn ， zhǐ jiàn jīn sè de cháng qiāng ， yǐ huà wèi le jǐ duàn 。 jiù zhè me líng xìng dà shī de xuán fú zài shù shí zhàng zhī qián 。
他勉强睁开双眼，往前面一看，只见金sè的长枪，已化为了几段。就这么灵xìng大失的悬浮在数十丈之前。
But how could he be angry now? Lin Xuan wasn't willing to let him go.
kě wù ！
可恶！
Being pursued by that old monster was enough to make him harbor resentment deep in his heart. While he couldn’t do anything about the other’s true form, sending out an incarnation...
zhè jiàn běn mìng bǎo wù ， suī bú shì běn tǐ suǒ yòng ， dàn jí biàn shì wèi huà shēn liàn zhì ， dāng chū huā fèi de xīn xuè yě shì nán yǐ shèng shù ， jū rán zhè me qīng yì 。 jiù bèi huǐ zài le zhè lǐ ， tiān yuán hóu jīng nù zhī yú ， shuō mù chì yù liè nà shì háo bù wèi guò 。
这件本命宝物，虽不是本体所用，但即便是为化身炼制，当初花费的心血也是难以胜数，居然这么轻易。就被毁在了这里，天元侯惊怒之余，说目赤yù裂那是毫不为过。
Hehe, this was a perfect opportunity to settle this score.
rán ér nù yòu rú hé ， xiàn zài shì lín xuān bù yuàn yì jiāng tā fàng guò 。
然而怒又如何，现在是林轩不愿意将他放过。
Thus, while destroying the other's treasure, Lin Xuan didn't stop; instead, a mental projection was released.
bèi nà lǎo guài wù mò míng qí miào de zhuī suǒ ， lín xuān nèi xīn shēn chù ， yě shì biē le yī gǔ zi yuàn qì de ， duì fāng de běn tǐ ， zì jǐ ná tā shì mò nài hé ， bù guò rú jīn guāng pài chū huà shēn me ……
被那老怪物莫名其妙的追索，林轩内心深处，也是憋了一股子怨气的，对方的本体，自己拿他是没奈何，不过如今光派出化身么……
Roar!
hēi hēi ， zhèng hǎo bào zhè yī jiàn zhī chóu 。
嘿嘿，正好报这一箭之仇。
A fierce roar echoed as yin energy spread. Three unusually tall and imposing refined corpses appeared before his eyes.
gù ér jiāng duì fāng de bǎo wù huǐ qù ， lín xuān bìng méi yǒu bà shǒu ， fǎn ér yī dào shén niàn suí zhī fā chū 。
故而将对方的宝物毁去，林轩并没有罢手，反而一道神念随之发出。
One on the left had a hunched back, holding a halberd with two grayish-white pupils exuding a robust aura.
hǒu ！
吼！
The one on the right wielded heavy weaponry too; both hands tightly grasped an enormous battle axe.
bào nüè de páo xiāo shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ，yīn qì sàn kāi ， sān jù gāo dà yì cháng de liàn shī ， yìng rù yǎn lián 。
暴虐的咆哮声传入耳朵，yīn气散开，三具高大异常的炼尸，映入眼帘。
Unlike ordinary zombies, this guy's body was covered in thick muscles, giving off the impression of immense strength.
zuǒ biān yí gè bèi yǒu diǎn tuó ， shǒu chí zhǎng gē ， liǎng zhǐ tóng kǒng zuò huī bái sè， yī gǔ biāo hàn zhī qì pèi rán ér chū 。
左边一个背有点驼，手持长戈，两只瞳孔做灰白sè，一股彪悍之气沛然而出。
However, these weren't the scariest.
yòu biān yí gè ， suǒ shǐ de yě shì zhòng bīng qì ， shuāng shǒu jǐn wò zhe de ， jū rán shì yī kāi shān jù fǔ 。
右边一个，所使的也是重兵器，双手紧握着的，居然是一开山巨斧。
In the middle, the zombie’s skin had a faint silver hue and seemed to bear some symbolic patterns like talismans.
yì bān de jiāng shī ， dōu xuè ròu gān kū ， rán ér zhè jiā huo bù tóng ， hún shēn jī ròu ， qiú jié wú bǐ ， yī kàn jiù shì lì dà wú qióng de yāo mó 。
一般的僵尸，都血肉干枯，然而这家伙不同，浑身肌肉，虬结无比，一看就是力大无穷的妖魔。
He didn’t hold any weapons; instead, thick chains were tied around his wrists, producing dragging sounds as he was pulled down by them.
rán ér zhè liǎng gè hái bú shì zuì kě pà de 。
然而这两个还不是最可怕的。
This one exuded the most intense spirit energy.
zhōng jiān de jiāng shī ， yī shēn jī fū ， jū rán yǐ chéng xiàn chū dàn dàn de yín sè， sì hū hái yǒu yī xiē rú tóng fú wén bān de wén lù 。
中间的僵尸，一身肌肤，居然已呈现出淡淡的银sè，似乎还有一些如同符文般的纹路。
All three refined corpses showed their fangs.
ér tā shǒu zhōng ， méi yǒu chí zhe bīng qì ， zhǐ shì zài shuāng shǒu de shǒu wàn zhī shàng ， gè fù zhe yī gēn cū dà de liàn tiáo ， nà zhuāi dì de shēng yīn ， jiù shì yóu cǐ liàn fā chū lái de 。
而他手中，没有持着兵器，只是在双手的手腕之上，各缚着一根粗大的链条，那拽地的声音，就是由此链发出来的。
Seeing the weapons in their hands, Lin Xuan realized that these three had just destroyed his life force treasure.
qí yě shì shī qì zuì wèi nóng zhòng de yí gè 。
其也是尸气最为浓重的一个。
Enemies meeting face to face, they were even more red-eyed. Tianyuan Hou's teeth almost shattered from anger as he was now the fish and others held the knife. The tall refined corpses, each holding a weapon or treasure, fiercely attacked him.
sān jù liàn shī jiē liáo yá wài lù 。
三具炼尸皆獠牙外露。
"You dare!"
kàn tā men shǒu zhōng de bīng qì ， zì jǐ de běn mìng bǎo wù ， gāng gāng zhèng shì bèi zhè sān gè jiā huo ， gěi cuī huǐ diào de 。
看他们手中的兵器，自己的本命宝物，刚刚正是被这三个家伙，给摧毁掉的。
Tianyuan Hou erupted in rage. Judging by their demeanor, they truly thought of him as an easy target to toy with. But he wasn't so easily bullied; even though his life force treasure had been destroyed, he wouldn’t surrender. With a wave of his sleeves, several golden rays emerged like fish swimming out.
chóu rén jiàn miàn ， fèn wài yǎn hóng ， tiān yuán hóu yī kǒu gāng yá ， jī hū dōu yào yīn cǐ yǎo suì le ， rán ér rú jīn wǒ wèi yú ròu ， rén zuò dāo zǔ ， tā bú shì liè rén ， ér shì liè wù ， nà sān jù shēn cái gāo dà de liàn shī ， shǒu zhōng gè chí bīng qì bǎo wù ， yǐ è hěn hěn de xiàng tā dǎ guò lái le 。
仇人见面，分外眼红，天元侯一口钢牙，几乎都要因此咬碎了，然而如今我为鱼肉，人做刀俎，他不是猎人，而是猎物，那三具身材高大的炼尸，手中各持兵器宝物，已恶狠狠的像他打过来了。
As the light condensed, three different treasures appeared—a sword, a saber, and a drum—each taking on enormous forms as they rushed towards the refined corpses.
“ ěr gǎn ！”
“尔敢！”
The swords and sabers were not mentioned, but both had used the Great Technique to transform into massive objects, slicing down with the power of mountains.
tiān yuán hóu bó rán dà nù ， kàn zhè jià shì ， duì fāng zhēn jiāng zì jǐ dàng chéng le rèn rén róu niē de ruǎn shì zi ， rán ér tā nǎ ér yǒu nà me hǎo qī fù ， jí shǐ běn mìng bǎo wù huǐ zài le duì fāng de shǒu zhōng ， tā yě bú huì shù shǒu jiù fù ， ér shì xiù páo yī fú ， yòu shì jǐ dào jīn sè de guāng xiá ， yú yóu ér chū 。
天元侯勃然大怒，看这架势，对方真将自己当成了任人揉捏的软柿子，然而他哪儿有那么好欺负，即使本命宝物毁在了对方的手中，他也不会束手就缚，而是袖袍一拂，又是几道金sè的光霞，鱼游而出。
However, these three refined corpses, incredibly strong, managed to withstand their attacks.
dài guāng xiá yī liǎn ， què shì xiàn chū le yī dāo 、 yī jiàn ， hái yǒu yī gǔ ， sān zhǒng bù tóng xíng zhuàng ， yě bù tóng shǔ xìng de bǎo wù ， yíng fēng jiù zhǎng ， suí hòu xiàng sān jù liàn shī shā guò qù le 。
待光霞一敛，却是现出了一刀、一剑，还有一鼓，三种不同形状，也不同属xìng的宝物，迎风就涨，随后像三具炼尸杀过去了。
As for that golden drum, Tianyuan Hou flicked his finger, producing a loud "thud"...
dāo jiàn zàn qiě bù shuō ， dōu shǐ yòng le jù dà zhī shù 。
刀剑暂且不说，都使用了巨大之术。
The golden sound waves crashed against the spirit clouds, appearing formidable indeed.
huà wéi shù shí zhàng zhǎng de páng rán jù wù ， jiā zhǎn shān zhī wēi hěn hěn de pī luò 。
化为数十丈长的庞然巨物，夹斩山之威狠狠的劈落。
But all this was just a distraction.
rán ér nà sān jù liàn shī lì dà wú bǐ ， jū rán jìng néng dǐ dǎng dé zhù 。
然而那三具炼尸力大无比，居然竟能抵挡得住。
Its purpose was merely to temporarily block the refined corpses' attacks and draw Lin Xuan's attention. He had other tricks up his sleeve. Tianyuan Hou’s heart was also somewhat agitated; with his keen eyesight, he realized that he had underestimated this guy. Clearly, he wasn't an ordinary late-stage Spirit Formation cultivator.
zhì yú nà miàn jīn gǔ ， tiān yuán hóu yī zhǐ dàn chū ， yuán běn shì hěn pǔ tōng de dòng zuò ， què “ dōng ” de yī shēng léi xiǎng le ……
至于那面金鼓，天元侯一指弹出，原本是很普通的动作，却“咚”的一声擂响了……
He didn’t know what relationship existed between him and the ancient demon, but it was undoubtedly formidable to contend with. In terms of strength, he really couldn’t take him down.
jīn sè de shēng bō ， yě xiàng shī yún hōng luò ， kàn shàng qù shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
金sè的声波，也像尸云轰落，看上去是非同小可。
Fortunately, his true form was a Transcendence Period entity; this incarnation, while hasty, did bring several treasures for defense. At least one or two could turn the tide in battle.
rán ér suǒ yǒu de zhè yī qiè ， dōu bù guò shì zhàng yǎn fǎ bà le 。
然而所有的这一切，都不过是障眼法罢了。
PS: Second update for today, more to come tonight. Rolling on the ground begging for monthly votes, please give me your monthly votes!
While thetreasure transformed into a creature naturally had more resilience than an actual dragon, even so, the arrogant golden dragon was not having an easy time. The momentum of its charge abruptly halted with this single chop.

The deafening roar echoed through the air as the huge golden dragon appeared extremely enraged. Its two thick front claws swung wildly, emitting intense light and force that burst out in a mighty impact. The chopping axe was repelled with a loud "clang."
