qí tā jǐ rén zì rán yě shì dà chī yī jīng ， gè sè guāng máng kuáng shǎn ， dà jiā jiāng gè zì de hù zhào dǎ kāi 。
其他几人自然也是大吃一惊，各色光芒狂闪，大家将各自的护罩打开。
The others were naturally equally startled, with various colored lights flashing as they opened their protective barriers.
lín xuān yě shì tóng yàng de dòng zuò ， shēn tǐ zhōu wéi qīng guāng liàng qǐ ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn shì líng lì hù dùn ， rán ér wēi lì què bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。
林轩也是同样的动作，身体周围青光亮起，表面上看是灵力护盾，然而威力却不可同日而语。
Lin Xuan performed the same action. A layer of green light enveloped his body. While it appeared to be a Qi Shield, its power was incomparable.
dāng rán ， chú le jiǔ tiān líng dùn yǐ wài ， lín xuān hái wèi zì jǐ shī jiā le jǐ gè tí shēng sù dù yǔ mǐn jié de fǎ jué ， suī rán duì zì jǐ de shí lì xìn xīn shí zú ， dàn yǎn qián de guài wù sì hū yě yǒu zhe lìng rén bù néng xiǎo shì de shén tōng 。
当然，除了九天灵盾以外，林轩还为自己施加了几个提升速度与敏捷的法诀，虽然对自己的实力信心十足，但眼前的怪物似乎也有着令人不能小视的神通。
Of course, in addition to the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield, Lin Xuan also cast several techniques that enhanced speed and agility on himself. Although he had full confidence in his own strength, the monster before them seemed to possess formidable abilities that could not be underestimated.
suī rán gāng cái de gōng jī yǒu diǎn qǔ qiǎo ， dàn bì jìng shì shùn shā le yī wèi níng dān qī de gāo shǒu 。
虽然刚才的攻击有点取巧，但毕竟是瞬杀了一位凝丹期的高手。
Although the previous attack had been somewhat opportunistic, it did manage to instantly kill a Core Formation cultivator.
yè qīng chéng yǔ liǔ jūn háo duì shì yī yǎn ， gè zì nuó le liǎng bù ， bìng jiān zhàn zài yì qǐ ， cǐ kè miàn duì qiáng dí ， yǒu shén me ēn yuàn dōu yào zàn shí fàng xià 。
叶青城与柳君豪对视一眼，各自挪了两步，并肩站在一起，此刻面对强敌，有什么恩怨都要暂时放下。
Ye Qingcheng and Liu Junhao exchanged glances, each taking two steps back and standing side by side. In the face of such a powerful enemy, any personal grudges were temporarily set aside.
liǔ jūn háo chū shǒu le ， xiù páo yī fú ， qī bā kē huǒ qiú tuō shǒu ér chū ， rán ér nà xiē huǒ qiú bìng méi yǒu xiàng zhe yāo xiū shā qù ， ér shì róng hé zài yì qǐ ， suí zhe huì sè nán dǒng de zhòu yǔ ， huàn huà chū le yī shēn cháng shù zhàng ， shuāng tóu sān zhǎo de gǔ guài jù niǎo 。
柳君豪出手了，袖袍一拂，七八颗火球脱手而出，然而那些火球并没有像着妖修杀去，而是融合在一起，随着晦涩难懂的咒语，幻化出了一身长数丈，双头三爪的古怪巨鸟。
Liu Junhao made his move, brushing his sleeves and sending out seven or eight fireballs. However, these fireballs did not target the demon cultivator; instead, they merged together and transformed into an enormous bird with two heads and three claws, as it was shaped by obscure incantations.
“ zhè shì shén me fǎ shù ？”
“这是什么法术？”
"What kind of spell is this?"
lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ yì sè ， bù guò kàn shēng shì ， yě pǒ wèi bù fán 。
林轩眼中闪过一缕异色，不过看声势，也颇为不凡。
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but he could tell that its power was considerable.
liǔ jūn háo yì diǎn zhǐ ， guài niǎo zhǎn chì cháng míng ， xiàng zhe yāo xiū chōng le guò qù 。
柳君豪一点指，怪鸟展翅长鸣，像着妖修冲了过去。
Liu Junhao pointed his finger. The strange bird spread its wings and let out a loud cry, charging towards the demon cultivator.
ér yè qīng chéng zé liǎn sè níng zhòng yǐ jí ， shēn shēn hū xī ， chōng zhe shēn qián de fēi chā pēn chū yī kǒu jīng qì ， nà fēi chā lì kè yíng fēng biàn dà ， kuáng zhǎng qǐ lái ， piàn kè hòu ， yǐ biàn chéng yī shí jǐ zhàng zhǎng de kǒng bù jù wù ， hū xiào zhe fēi guò qù le 。.
而叶青城则脸色凝重以极，深深呼吸，冲着身前的飞叉喷出一口精气，那飞叉立刻迎风变大，狂涨起来，片刻后，已变成一十几丈长的恐怖巨物，呼啸着飞过去了。.
Meanwhile, Ye Qingcheng's expression turned extremely serious as he took a deep breath. He exhaled a stream of essence qi in front of him, causing the flying fork to instantly grow larger and more terrifying. After a moment, it had transformed into a monstrous object over ten feet long, hurtling forward.
“ diāo chóng xiǎo jì ！”
“雕虫小技！”
"Trivial tricks!"
mò mǎng dì shuāng yǎn 。 yǐ jīng biàn chéng le yāo yì dì hóng sè 。 shuāng shǒu jiāo dié 。 yě bù zhī tā shǐ yòng le shén me fǎ shù 。 yī fú měng rán zhà kāi 。 ér tā shēn tǐ biǎo miàn 。 zé zhǎng chū liǎo wú shù qī hēi rú mò dì lín piàn 。 hún shēn hēi máng dà fàng 。 huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng 。 háo bù wèi jù dì yíng shàng fēi chā yǔ guài niǎo 。
莫莽地双眼。已经变成了妖异地红色。双手交叠。也不知他使用了什么法术。衣服猛然炸开。而他身体表面。则长出了无数漆黑如墨地鳞片。浑身黑芒大放。化为一道惊虹。毫不畏惧地迎上飞叉与怪鸟。
Mou Mang's eyes turned into an eerie red as his hands clapped together. He used some unknown technique, his clothes suddenly exploding. Numerous black scales like ink sprouted from his body, emitting a fierce glow that transformed him into a streak of light, fearlessly confronting the flying fork and strange bird.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì 。 zì rán bù hǎo yì sī bù chū shǒu 。 yě jiāng bì xuě huán jì chū 。 zài yī páng yóu dòu 。
林轩叹了口气。自然不好意思不出手。也将碧雪环祭出。在一旁游斗。
Lin Xuan sighed, naturally not wanting to stand idle. He too pulled out the Jade Snow Ring and engaged in a fight nearby.
liǔ jūn háo dì yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ shī wàng 。 yuán běn zuò wéi dí duì jiā zú 。 tā zì rán xī wàng lín xuān dì shí lì yuè ruò yuè hǎo 。 kě rú jīn miàn duì yāo xiū zhè ge dà dí 。 lín xuān bāng bù shàng máng què ràng tā xīn zhōng bù shuǎng 。
柳君豪地眼中闪过一缕失望。原本作为敌对家族。他自然希望林轩地实力越弱越好。可如今面对妖修这个大敌。林轩帮不上忙却让他心中不爽。
Liu Junhao's eyes showed a hint of disappointment. As enemies from opposing families, he naturally hoped Lin Xuan would be weaker. But now that they faced this demon cultivator as a common enemy, it was annoying to see him unable to contribute.
yè qīng chéng zé yǒu xiē yì wài 。 bié rén bù qīng chǔ 。 tā kě shì zhī dào lín xuān shēn fèn dì 。 táng táng líng yào shān shǎo zhǔ 。 nán dào zhēn dì lián yī jiàn fǎ bǎo yě méi yǒu ma ？
叶青城则有些意外。别人不清楚。他可是知道林轩身份地。堂堂灵药山少主。难道真地连一件法宝也没有吗？
Ye Qingcheng felt somewhat surprised. While others might not know, he knew Lin Xuan's identity—how could the head of Spirit Medicine Mountain have no treasures at all?
àn lǐ shuō dōu dào le zhè ge shí hòu 。 tā bù yīng gāi cáng zhuō le a ！
按理说都到了这个时候。他不应该藏拙了啊！
By this point, he shouldn't be hiding his abilities!
xīn zhōng mǎn fù yí huò ， kě què yòu bù hǎo kāi kǒu 。
心中满腹疑惑，可却又不好开口。
Despite his confusion, he did not dare to speak out loud.
tiān kōng zhōng ， gè sè guāng máng jiāo zhī ， zài sān wèi níng dān qī gāo shǒu de wéi gōng xià 。 mò mǎng háo wú wèi jù ， bù guò xiōng yàn yě bèi yā xià lái le ， xiǎng yào gù jì zhòng shī 。 yòng nà guǐ yì zhì jí dì sù dù shāng dí ， rán ér mù dǔ le liǔ yán yǔn luò de jīng guò ， lín xuān děng rén zì rán bú huì zài zhòng zhāo le ， zǒng néng jí shí jiā qiáng gōng shì ， jiāng bī le huí qù ， yī shí jiān zhàn jú xiàn rù le jiāng chí 。
天空中，各色光芒交织，在三位凝丹期高手的围攻下。莫莽毫无畏惧，不过凶焰也被压下来了，想要故技重施。用那诡异至极地速度伤敌，然而目睹了柳岩陨落的经过，林轩等人自然不会再中招了，总能及时加强攻势，将逼了回去，一时间战局陷入了僵持。
In the sky, various colored lights interwove as the three Core Formation cultivators attacked. Despite showing no fear, Mou Mang's ferocity was suppressed. He tried to use his extremely fast speed to attack again, but Lin Xuan and others had learned from Li Yan's fall and did not fall for it this time.
jī dòu zhōng ， mò mǎng guài jiào yī shēng ， zhāng kāi kǒu ， yī dào mò lǜ sè de shuǐ jiàn pēn shè ér chū 。.hu
激斗中，莫莽怪叫一声，张开口，一道墨绿色的水箭喷射而出。.hu
As they fought, Mou Mang let out a strange cry, opening his mouth to shoot a greenish-black water arrow.
“ xiǎo xīn 。 yǒu dú ！”
“小心。有毒！”
"Be careful! It's poisonous!"
liǔ jūn háo yī biān tí xǐng ， yī biān shēn xíng hòu piāo ， lín xuān tóng yàng tuì hòu bì qí fēng máng ， rán ér nà mò lǜ sè de yè tǐ què fǎng fú yǒu shēng mìng yī yàng ， zài bàn kōng zhōng zhuǎn le gè wān ， jū rán yòu xiàng lín xuān zhuī le guò lái 。
柳君豪一边提醒，一边身形后飘，林轩同样退后避其锋芒，然而那墨绿色的液体却仿佛有生命一样，在半空中转了个弯，居然又像林轩追了过来。
Liu Junhao warned as he retreated. Lin Xuan also moved back, but the green liquid seemed to have life and turned mid-air before chasing after him again.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng lì máng yī shǎn ， kàn lái zhè yāo xiū shì cún le gè gè jī pò de xīn lǐ ， yǐ wéi sān rén zhōng zì jǐ zuì ruò ， xiǎng yào xiān jiāng zì jǐ miè shā 。 yǐ biàn dǎ pò píng héng zhì zào qǔ shèng de jī yù 。
林轩眼中厉芒一闪，看来这妖修是存了各个击破的心理，以为三人中自己最弱，想要先将自己灭杀。以便打破平衡制造取胜的机遇。
A fierce look appeared in Lin Xuan's eyes. This demon cultivator was trying to break them one by one, assuming that among the three of them, he was the weakest, hoping to kill him first to disrupt their balance and create an opportunity for victory.
kě xī zhǎo cuò rén le ， lín xuān yī zhāo shǒu ， jiāng bì xuě huán shōu le huí lái ， rán hòu shuāng shǒu gè qiā jiàn jué ， zài xū kōng zhōng yì diǎn 。
可惜找错人了，林轩一招手，将碧雪环收了回来，然后双手各掐剑诀，在虚空中一点。
Unfortunately, his target was wrong. Lin Xuan waved his hand, retracting the Jade Snow Ring. Then, with both hands forming sword seals, he pointed at the air.
yī tuán líng qì cóng tā shēn shàng chōng tiān ér qǐ ， huà wèi yí miàn dùn pái ， dǎng zài le shēn qián 。
一团灵气从他身上冲天而起，化为一面盾牌，挡在了身前。
A ball of Qi shot up from his body, transforming into a shield that blocked in front of him.
“ yí ！” mò mǎng lüè lüè gǎn dào yǒu xiē yì wài ， hóu zhōng chū yī zhèn gǔ guài dì sī míng ， nà shuǐ jiàn jìng rán zài zhòng mù kuí kuí xià huà wèi le yī tiáo chǐ xǔ zhǎng 。 tóu shàng shēng jué de zhēng níng xiǎo shé 。 yī niǔ shēn zi ， rào guò dùn pái 。 jì xù xiàng lín xuān pū yǎo 。
“咦！”莫莽略略感到有些意外，喉中出一阵古怪地嘶鸣，那水箭竟然在众目睽睽下化为了一条尺许长。头上生角的狰狞小蛇。一扭身子，绕过盾牌。继续像林轩扑咬。
"Hmm!" Mou Mang seemed slightly surprised as he let out an odd growl. The water arrow transformed into a one-foot-long snake with horns, twisting around and continuing to attack Lin Xuan.
suí zhe lín xuān de zhòu yǔ ， nà dùn pái yī shǎn zhī xià huà wèi le huáng sè de jù shǒu ， xiàng zhe xiǎo shé zhuā luò 。
随着林轩的咒语，那盾牌一闪之下化为了黄色的巨手，向着小蛇抓落。
With Lin Xuan's incantation, the shield turned into a yellow giant hand that grabbed at the small snake.
liǔ jūn háo kàn dé yǎn dōu zhí le ， méi xiǎng dào lín xuān méi yǒu fǎ bǎo ， dào shù què rú cǐ jīng miào 。
柳君豪看得眼都直了，没想到林轩没有法宝，道术却如此精妙。
Liu Junhao was amazed, not expecting such refined Daoist techniques from someone without a treasure.
xiǎo shé bèi guài shǒu yī bǎ wò jǐn ， rán ér què bù gān xīn de zhāng kāi kǒu ， yī dào guāng zhù pēn shè ér chū 。
小蛇被怪手一把握紧，然而却不甘心的张开口，一道光柱喷射而出。
The snake was tightly grasped by the strange hand, but it opened its mouth and shot out a beam of light.
pēng de yī xià jī dǎ zài le lín xuān shēn qián de hù zhào shàng miàn ， mò mǎng dà xǐ ， yì bān de fáng hù jìn zhì zài zì jǐ de mì shù miàn qián yǒu rú zhǐ hú ， kě ràng tā jīng yà dì shì qíng shēng le ， qīng sè guāng zhào wēi wēi yī chàn ， jiù jiāng guāng zhù dàn kāi 。
嘭的一下击打在了林轩身前的护罩上面，莫莽大喜，一般的防护禁制在自己的秘术面前有如纸糊，可让他惊讶地事情生了，青色光罩微微一颤，就将光柱弹开。
It struck Lin Xuan's protective barrier with a loud bang. Mou Mang was delighted, as ordinary barriers would be easily broken by his secret technique. However, to his surprise, the greenish-blue shield slightly trembled before repelling the beam.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo lù chū yī sī jī cháo ， jìn rù níng dān qī yǐ hòu ， jiǔ tiān xuán gōng jiàn jiàn xiǎn chū le de shén qí xiào yòng ， jiù suàn shì fǎ bǎo de yī jī ， zhè jiǔ tiān líng dùn yě néng dǎng xià ， gèng bié shuō qū qū dì guāng zhù 。
林轩嘴角露出一丝讥嘲，进入凝丹期以后，九天玄功渐渐显出了的神奇效用，就算是法宝的一击，这九天灵盾也能挡下，更别说区区地光柱。
Lin Xuan sneered. Since entering the Core Formation stage, the Nine Heavens Profound Technique had shown its miraculous effects. Even a treasure's strike could be blocked by this Nine Heavens Qi Shield, let alone such a mere beam of light.
nà guāng zhù bèi dàn kāi yǐ hòu ， jī dǎ zài le páng biān de shí bì zhī shàng ， suī rán suǒ shèng de wēi néng yǐ jīng bù duō ， dàn suì shí yī rán hōng lōng lóng de wǎng xià luò 。
那光柱被弹开以后，击打在了旁边的石壁之上，虽然所剩的威能已经不多，但碎石依然轰隆隆的往下落。
After the beam was deflected, it struck the nearby stone wall with reduced power, causing rocks to fall in a rumbling sound.
rán ér zhòng rén què méi yǒu guān zhù zhè lǐ ， fǎn ér chóng xīn xiàn rù le duì zhì 。
然而众人却没有关注这里，反而重新陷入了对峙。
However, everyone ignored this and returned to their standoff.
lín xuān zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， zhèng yù chóng xīn jiāng bì xuě huán jì qǐ lái ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yī zhèn léi míng bān de jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
林轩在储物袋上一拍，正欲重新将碧雪环祭起来，然而就在这时，一阵雷鸣般的巨响传入耳朵。
Lin Xuan tapped his storage bag, intending to retrieve the Jade Snow Ring again. But just then, a thunderous noise filled the air.
jiē zhe zhěng gè dà dì yě jù liè de huàng dòng le qǐ lái 。
接着整个大地也剧烈的晃动了起来。
The ground began to shake violently.
zěn me huí shì ， dì zhèn le ？
怎么回事，地震了？
"What's happening? An earthquake?"
bāo kuò nà yāo xiū zài nèi ， suǒ yǒu rén de liǎn shàng ， jiē mǎn shì jīng yí ， lín xuān de méi tóu zé wēi wēi zhòu qǐ ， nà bù hǎo de yù gǎn ， yuè lái yuè qiáng liè 。
包括那妖修在内，所有人的脸上，皆满是惊疑，林轩的眉头则微微皱起，那不好的预感，越来越强烈。
Everyone, including the demon cultivator, looked puzzled as Lin Xuan frowned, sensing an ominous premonition growing stronger.
wú shù zǐ sè dì wù qì cóng fù jìn de qiáng bì zhōng fēi shè chū lái ， yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， fù jìn yī xiē shān shí yě kāi shǐ guāng yùn liú zhuǎn 。
无数紫色地雾气从附近的墙壁中飞射出来，与此同时，附近一些山石也开始光晕流转。
Purple fog shot out from nearby walls while some rocks around them started glowing.
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
"Bad news!"
liǔ jūn háo nà lǎo hú lí fǎn yìng zuì kuài ， liǎn sè yī biàn ， háo bù chí yí de huà wèi yī dào dùn guāng ， xiǎng yào cóng zhè lǐ fēi shè chū qù ， rán ér jǐn jǐn fēi le shù shí zhàng gāo ， tóu dǐng shàng jiù chū xiàn le yī jù dà wú bǐ de hù zhào ， jìng rán jiāng chū kǒu dǔ sǐ le 。
柳君豪那老狐狸反应最快，脸色一变，毫不迟疑的化为一道遁光，想要从这里飞射出去，然而仅仅飞了数十丈高，头顶上就出现了一巨大无比的护罩，竟然将出口堵死了。
Liu Junhao reacted quickly, changing into a streak of light to escape. But after flying several dozen feet high, he found himself blocked by a massive protective barrier that sealed off the exit.
liǔ jūn háo yī huī shǒu ， chū jǐ dào wǎn kǒu cū de guāng zhù ， què yǒu rú pí fú hàn dà shù ， lüè gǎn jiāo cāo de tā zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， jiāng fǎ bǎo jì le chū lái 。
柳君豪一挥手，出几道碗口粗的光柱，却有如蚍蜉撼大树，略感焦操的他在储物袋上一拍，将法宝祭了出来。
Liu Junhao waved his hand, sending out several thick beams of light, but they were like ants trying to shake a tree. He sighed and tapped his storage bag, summoning his treasures.
guǐ tóu dāo huà wèi liú xīng ， hěn hěn de jī zhuàng ér shàng ， yě jǐn jǐn shì ràng hù zhào huǎng le jǐ huǎng 。
鬼头刀化为流星，狠狠的激撞而上，也仅仅是让护罩晃了几晃。
The ghost head saber turned into a meteor and struck the barrier, causing it to tremble slightly.
“ liǔ dào yǒu bié bù yòng shì le ， zhè hù zhào jiān gù wú bǐ ， jiù suàn shì wǒ men jǐ rén hé lì ， yī shí bàn huì er yě hěn nán jiāng qí pò qù ， hái shì liú diǎn fǎ lì ， yìng fù xià miàn de wēi jī 。” lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， dàn dàn de kāi kǒu le ， rán hòu yòu zhuǎn guò tóu ， kàn zhe nà yāo xiū ：“ wǒ men zàn shí xiū zhàn rú hé ？”
“柳道友别不用试了，这护罩坚固无比，就算是我们几人合力，一时半会儿也很难将其破去，还是留点法力，应付下面的危机。”林轩叹了口气，淡淡的开口了，然后又转过头，看着那妖修：“我们暂时休战如何？”
"Friend Liu, there's no need for you to test this. The barrier is incredibly sturdy; even if we work together, it will take some time to break through. Save your power for the impending danger," Lin Xuan sighed and said calmly before turning to the demon cultivator: "How about a temporary truce?"
“ hǎo dì 。” mò mǎng kàn le yī yǎn shēn zhōu de guǐ yì wù qì ， diǎn le diǎn tóu 。
“好地。”莫莽看了一眼身周的诡异雾气，点了点头。
"Fine." Mou Mang glanced at the strange fog around him and nodded.
“ biǎo dì ， jiū jìng shì zěn me huí shì ？” yè qīng chéng fēi le guò lái ， liǎn shàng dài zhe yī sī yōu sè 。
“表弟，究竟是怎么回事？”叶青城飞了过来，脸上带着一丝忧色。
"Cousin, what's going on?" Ye Qingcheng flew over with a worried expression.
“ méi shén me ， kě néng shì wǒ men bù xiǎo xīn chù dòng shàng gǔ de jìn zhì le 。” lín xuān yī biān shuō ， yī biān fàng chū shén shí ， guān chá zhōu wéi de wù qì 。
“没什么，可能是我们不小心触动上古的禁制了。”林轩一边说，一边放出神识，观察周围的雾气。
"There's nothing much. We might have accidentally triggered an ancient prohibition," Lin Xuan said as he released his divine sense to observe the surrounding fog.
rán ér shén shí yī rán shì bù néng jí yuǎn ， pèng jiàn wù qì jiù bèi fǎn tán huí lái ， lín xuān liǎn shàng dào méi yǒu shén me yì wài zhī sè ， duì yú cǐ xíng de jiān nán tā zǎo jiù yǒu xīn lǐ zhǔn bèi le ， bì jìng yōu míng hán tiě zhè zhǒng dōng xī ， jī hū yǐ shì nì tiān de dōng xī ， nǎ yǒu kě néng qīng yì jiù néng dé dào le 。
然而神识依然是不能及远，碰见雾气就被反弹回来，林轩脸上倒没有什么意外之色，对于此行的艰难他早就有心理准备了，毕竟幽冥寒铁这种东西，几乎已是逆天的东西，哪有可能轻易就能得到了。
However, his divine sense could not penetrate far, being reflected back by the fog. Lin Xuan did not look surprised; he had expected such difficulties from the start of their journey. After all, something like Yumen Cold Iron was almost a heavenly contrivance and would not be easily obtained.
xiān shì yāo xiū ， rú jīn yòu bèi shàng gǔ jìn zhì kùn zhù ， kàn lái zhēn shì chuán shuō zhōng de hǎo shì duō mó ， lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān ， lù chū yī sī zì cháo zhī sè 。
先是妖修，如今又被上古禁制困住，看来真是传说中的好事多磨，林轩的嘴角边，露出一丝自嘲之色。
First, there were demon cultivators, now an ancient prohibition trapped them. It seemed that the saying "good things come with many trials" truly applied. Lin Xuan's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile.
PS： yūn ， gāng jiē diàn huà ， yǒu diǎn jí shì ， bào qiàn ， jīn tiān jiù zhè me duō le ， míng tiān nǔ lì 。
PS：晕，刚接电话，有点急事，抱歉，今天就这么多了，明天努力。
PS: Dazed, just got a call about something urgent. Sorry for today's delay; I'll try harder tomorrow.
The others were naturally equally startled, with various colored lights flashing as they opened their protective barriers.
Lin Xuan performed the same action. A layer of green light enveloped his body. While it appeared to be a Qi Shield, its power was incomparable.
Of course, in addition to the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield, Lin Xuan also cast several techniques that enhanced speed and agility on himself. Although he had full confidence in his own strength, the monster before them seemed to possess formidable abilities that could not be underestimated.
Although the previous attack had been somewhat opportunistic, it did manage to instantly kill a Core Formation cultivator.
Ye Qingcheng and Liu Junhao exchanged glances, each taking two steps back and standing side by side. In the face of such a powerful enemy, any personal grudges were temporarily set aside.
Liu Junhao made his move, brushing his sleeves and sending out seven or eight fireballs. However, these fireballs did not target the demon cultivator; instead, they merged together and transformed into an enormous bird with two heads and three claws, as it was shaped by obscure incantations.
"What kind of spell is this?"
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but he could tell that its power was considerable.
"Go!"
Liu Junhao pointed his finger. The strange bird spread its wings and let out a loud cry, charging towards the demon cultivator.
Meanwhile, Ye Qingcheng's expression turned extremely serious as he took a deep breath. He exhaled a stream of essence qi in front of him, causing the flying fork to instantly grow larger and more terrifying. After a moment, it had transformed into a monstrous object over ten feet long, hurtling forward.

"Quickly!"
With Lin Xuan's incantation, the shield turned into a yellow giant hand that grabbed at the small snake.
Liu Junhao was amazed, not expecting such refined Daoist techniques from someone without a treasure.
The snake was tightly grasped by the strange hand, but it opened its mouth and shot out a beam of light.
It struck Lin Xuan's protective barrier with a loud bang. Mou Mang was delighted, as ordinary barriers would be easily broken by his secret technique. However, to his surprise, the greenish-blue shield slightly trembled before repelling the beam.
Lin Xuan sneered. Since entering the Core Formation stage, the Nine Heavens Profound Technique had shown its miraculous effects. Even a treasure's strike could be blocked by this Nine Heavens Qi Shield, let alone such a mere beam of light.
After the beam was deflected, it struck the nearby stone wall with reduced power, causing rocks to fall in a rumbling sound.
However, everyone ignored this and returned to their standoff.
Lin Xuan tapped his storage bag, intending to retrieve the Jade Snow Ring again. But just then, a thunderous noise filled the air.
The ground began to shake violently.
"What's happening? An earthquake?"
Everyone, including the demon cultivator, looked puzzled as Lin Xuan frowned, sensing an ominous premonition growing stronger.
Purple fog shot out from nearby walls while some rocks around them started glowing.
"Bad news!"
Liu Junhao reacted quickly, changing into a streak of light to escape. But after flying several dozen feet high, he found himself blocked by a massive protective barrier that sealed off the exit.
Liu Junhao waved his hand, sending out several thick beams of light, but they were like ants trying to shake a tree. He sighed and tapped his storage bag, summoning his treasures.
The ghost head saber turned into a meteor and struck the barrier, causing it to tremble slightly.
"Friend Liu, there's no need for you to test this. The barrier is incredibly sturdy; even if we work together, it will take some time to break through. Save your power for the impending danger," Lin Xuan sighed and said calmly before turning to the demon cultivator: "How about a temporary truce?"
"Fine." Mou Mang glanced at the strange fog around him and nodded.
"Cousin, what's going on?" Ye Qingcheng flew over with a worried expression.
"There's nothing much. We might have accidentally triggered an ancient prohibition," Lin Xuan said as he released his divine sense to observe the surrounding fog.
However, his divine sense could not penetrate far, being reflected back by the fog. Lin Xuan did not look surprised; he had expected such difficulties from the start of their journey. After all, something like Yumen Cold Iron was almost a heavenly contrivance and would not be easily obtained.
First, there were demon cultivators, now an ancient prohibition trapped them. It seemed that the saying "good things come with many trials" truly applied. Lin Xuan's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile.
PS: Dazed, just got a call about something urgent. Sorry for today's delay; I'll try harder tomorrow.
