shà shí jiān líng guāng kuáng shǎn ， bào liè shēng chōng tiān ， zhēn líng huà jiàn jué dàng zhēn bù fán ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn biàn huàn chū lái de fèng huáng yǐ yī dí sān ， jū rán fēn háo tuí shì bú jiàn 。
霎时间灵光狂闪，爆裂声冲天，真灵化剑诀当真不凡，九宫须臾剑变幻出来的凤凰以一敌三，居然分毫颓势不见。
In an instant, a burst of spiritual light flashed, and the loud explosion echoed through the sky. True Spirit refined into sword technique truly lived up to its reputation; the Phoenix transformed from the nine-palace sword managed to hold off three opponents without showing any signs of weakening.
“ bù kě néng ！”
“不可能！”
"Impossible!"
qiān huàn zhēn rén chēng mù jié shé ， zhè kě shì shí dǎ shí de yìng pèng ， fēn háo qǔ qiǎo zhī chù yě wú ， duì fāng jū rán zhēn néng yǔ zì jǐ fēn tíng kàng lǐ ？
千幻真人瞠目结舌，这可是实打实的硬碰，分毫取巧之处也无，对方居然真能与自己分庭抗礼？
Thousand Illusions True Man was dumbfounded. This was a direct confrontation, with no room for trickery. How could his opponent really stand on equal footing?
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， zhè jìng jiè de chā jù tā jiū jìng shì zěn me wú shì de ， zhè xiǎo zi jiū jìng shǐ yòng de shén me zhāo shù ， wēi lì néng gòu dà dào rú cǐ dì bù ？
有没有搞错，这境界的差距他究竟是怎么无视的，这小子究竟使用的什么招数，威力能够大到如此地步？
Did he misread the situation? What technique did this young man use that had such formidable power? The doubts in his heart couldn't be resolved.
xīn zhōng de mí tuán wú fǎ jiě huò ， lín xuān de gōng jī què sī háo méi yǒu tíng xiē de yì tú 。
心中的谜团无法解惑，林轩的攻击却丝毫没有停歇的意图。
Lin Xuan's attacks continued unabated. At this stage of their battle, the grudge between him and the old monster could no longer be settled. With a powerful enemy watching over them, Lin Xuan and Cloud Concealment Sect would never have peace. He wouldn't hide any more; he'd use all his might to eliminate this foe here.
dòu fǎ dào zhè yī bù ， yǔ zhè lǎo guài wù de chóu yuàn yǐ wú fǎ huà jiě le ， yǒu zhè me yí gè qiáng dí huán shì zài cè ， zì jǐ yǔ yún yǐn zōng shì xiū xiǎng zài yǒu ān xīn de yī kè ， jì rán rú cǐ ， lín xuān yě bù zhǔn bèi cáng zhuō ， jìn quán lì jiāng tā miè shā yú cǐ chù 。
斗法到这一步，与这老怪物的仇怨已无法化解了，有这么一个强敌环视在侧，自己与云隐宗是休想再有安心的一刻，既然如此，林轩也不准备藏拙，尽全力将他灭杀于此处。
With that thought, Lin Xuan took action. He inhaled deeply, raising his right hand upward.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān yǐ yǒu suǒ dòng zuò ， zhǐ jiàn tā shēn shēn hū xī ， yòu shǒu xiàng shàng fān qǐ 。
心中如此想着，林轩已有所动作，只见他深深呼吸，右手像上翻起。
Instantly, five-colored crystal light rose up, forming a ball of flame the size of an egg.
shà shí jiān wǔ sè liú lí ， yī tuán jī dàn dà xiǎo de huǒ yàn téng shēng ér qǐ 。
霎时间五色琉璃，一团鸡蛋大小的火焰腾升而起。
The five-colored crystal light flickered and shimmered, emitting a breath-taking aura.
wǔ sè liú lí ， guāng máng biàn huàn bù yǐ ， shàng miàn sàn fà chū lái de qì xī lìng rén xīn jì 。
五色琉璃，光芒变幻不已，上面散发出来的气息令人心悸。
Seeds of True Spirit Heavenly Fire!
zǐ líng tiān huǒ ！
籽灵天火！
Lin Xuan's hands danced as he cast a spell. The flame spun and grew to over ten feet in diameter, radiating a destructive energy before hurling itself at the opponent.
lín xuān shuāng shǒu fēi wǔ ， yī dào fǎ jué cóng qí dǎ chū ， cǐ huǒ yàn yī shǎn ， dī liū liū xuán zhuǎn ， shà shí jiān biàn dà dào zhàng xǔ fāng yuán ， dài zhe huǐ miè de qì xī ， xiàng zhe duì fāng pāo tóu ér qù 。
林轩双手飞舞，一道法诀从其打出，此火焰一闪，滴溜溜旋转，霎时间变大到丈许方圆，带着毁灭的气息，向着对方抛投而去。
His goal was to kill this old monster, so his methods wouldn't stop here.
mù dì jì shì miè shā lǎo mó ， lín xuān de shǒu duàn dāng rán bú huì jǐn zhǐ yú cǐ de 。
目的既是灭杀老魔，林轩的手段当然不会仅止于此的。
Without further ado, Lin Xuan's body split into two.
yě bú jiàn tā duō yú de dòng zuò ， zhěng gè rén jū rán guǐ yì de yī fēn wéi èr le 。
也不见他多余的动作，整个人居然诡异的一分为二了。
Was this an illusion?
zhè shì shén me ， huàn shù ？
这是什么，幻术？
No, Thousand Illusions True Man was already skilled in such techniques. He quickly realized he had been mistaken.
bú duì ， qiān de lǎo mó yuán běn jiù shì cǐ dào de dà háng jia ， lüè yī huǎng hū ， lì kè jiù què dìng zì jǐ de bàn duàn yǒu wù 。
不对，千的老魔原本就是此道的大行家，略一恍惚，立刻就确定自己的半断有误。
This wasn't a deceptive trick.
zhè jué fēi shén me zhàng yǎn fǎ 。
这绝非什么障眼法。
There were two Lin Xuans, both real. Was one of them his avatar?
liǎng gè lín xuān dōu shì zhēn de ， qí zhōng yǒu yí gè shì huà shēn me ？
两个林轩都是真的，其中有一个是化身么？
As he pondered, he noticed the differences between the two Lin Xuans. While their appearances and builds were nearly identical, the left one was noticeably darker.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， zài dìng jīng wàng qù ， guǒ rán fā xiàn le liǎng gè lín xuān de bù tóng ， chéng rán ， wǔ guān yàng mào ， nà shì wéi miào wéi xiào ， shēn cái yě jí qí xiāng sì ， dàn zuǒ biān nà ge ， míng xiǎn yào shāo wēi hēi shàng yī xiē 。
心中如此想着，再定睛望去，果然发现了两个林轩的不同，诚然，五官样貌，那是惟妙惟肖，身材也极其相似，但左边那个，明显要稍微黑上一些。
With that thought, both Lin Xuans moved simultaneously. The left one clapped his hands together, revealing a pitch-black banner in his palms.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， què jiàn liǎng gè lín xuān tóng shí yǒu le dòng zuò 。 zuǒ biān nà ge shuāng shǒu yī cuō ， zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng ， yǐ duō chū le yī gān yǒu hēi de fān qí 。
心中如此想着，却见两个林轩同时有了动作。左边那个双手一搓，掌心之中，已多出了一杆黝黑的幡旗。
Suddenly, howling winds filled the air as ghostly cries echoed. Heaven and earth seemed to change color.
shà shí jiān yīn fēng dà zuò ， guǐ kū láng háo de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tiān dì wèi zhī biàn sè 。
霎时间阴风大做，鬼哭狼嚎的声音传入耳朵，天地为之变色。
"Quick!" The left Lin Xuan pointed at the opponent with his finger.
“ jí ！” zuǒ biān de lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
“疾！”左边的林轩一指向前点去。
As he did so, a greenish-black cloud emerged from the banner's surface, rapidly expanding to envelop both Lin Xuans. The cold wind was bone-chilling, and the color of the cloud changed strangely.
suí zhe qí dòng zuò ， pū chī yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī duǒ bì lǜ sè yīn yún cóng fān qí biǎo miàn fú xiàn ér chū ， bìng jí jù bào zhǎng qǐ lái ， jiāng liǎng gè lín xuān de shēn yǐng zhào zài qí jiān ， hán fēng cì gǔ ， yīn yún de yán sè ， gèng shì guǐ yì de fān yǒng biàn huà qǐ lái le 。
随着其动作，噗嗤一声传入耳朵，一朵碧绿色阴云从幡旗表面浮现而出，并急剧暴涨起来，将两个林轩的身影罩在其间，寒风刺骨，阴云的颜色，更是诡异的翻涌变化起来了。
A moment ago, it looked like a tranquil green pond, but now it turned pitch black. Then, with terrifying screams, one after another, skeletons flew out of the cloud.
qián yī kè ， hái rú yī hóng bì lǜ de tán shuǐ ， xià yī kè ， què yǐ shì qī hēi rú mò ， suí hòu ， qī lì de hǒu jiào shēng dà zuò ， cóng nà yīn yún zhī zhōng ， fēi chū le yí gè jiē yí gè de kū lóu 。
前一刻，还如一泓碧绿的潭水，下一刻，却已是漆黑如墨，随后，凄厉的吼叫声大做，从那阴云之中，飞出了一个接一个的骷髅。
Each skull was as big as a bucket. Thousand Illusions True Man roughly counted 108. With his vast experience, he was amazed by their number and power.
tóu dà rú dòu ， qiān huàn lǎo mó cū lüè yī shù ， gòng yì bǎi líng bā kē ， yǐ lǎo mó jiàn shí guǎng bó ， yě tàn wéi guān zhǐ le 。
头大如斗，千幻老魔粗略一数，共一百零八颗，以老魔见识广博，也叹为观止了。
He himself was a ghost cultivator, deeply familiar with the mysteries of the Netherworld. He felt both wary and curious.
tā běn shēn jiù shì guǐ xiū ， zì rán shēn xī yīn sī jiè de shén tōng zuì wèi guǐ yì mò cè ， xīn zhōng dà wèi jiè jù ， tóng shí 『 bǎi dù tiē ba ★ wén zì shǒu fā 』 yòu yǒu xiē hào qí 。
他本身就是鬼修，自然深悉阴司界的神通最为诡异莫测，心中大为戒惧，同时『百度贴吧★文字首发』又有些好奇。
This young man's true form wasn't using any secret techniques from the ghost path; how could his avatar and true form have such different skills?
zhè lín xiǎo zi běn tǐ shī zhǎn de ， jué fēi guǐ dào mì shù ， zěn me huà shēn yǔ běn tǐ suǒ xué ， huì wán quán bù tóng 。
这林小子本体施展的，绝非鬼道秘术，怎么化身与本体所学，会完全不同。
Such a situation was rare in all three realms. But now wasn't the time for deep analysis.
zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， fàng yǎn sān jiè ， yě shì qū zhǐ kě shǔ ， bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zì rán bú shì shēn jiū de shí kè 。
这种情况，放眼三界，也是屈指可数，不过此时此刻，自然不是深究的时刻。
The 108 skeletons opened their mouths to gnaw, producing a loud cracking sound as they spat out demonic flames.
nà yì bǎi líng bā kē kū lóu yī chū ， lì kè èr huà bù shuō de zuǐ bā yī zhāng luàn jué ， gē bēng gē bēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， kǒu pēn mó huǒ 。
那一百零八颗骷髅一出，立刻二话不说的嘴巴一张乱嚼，咯嘣咯嘣的声音传入耳朵，口喷魔火。
These greenish-black flames, combined with the cold winds, made one shiver from the inside. However, their power was formidable, especially in such numbers. The half of the sky was filled with ghastly green flames.
nà xiē mó huǒ zuò bì lǜ zhī sè ， pèi shàng yīn fēng ， yuè fā lìng rén cóng gǔ zi lǐ jué de fā hán ， rán ér wēi lì què dàng zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yóu qí shì shù liàng nà me duō ， lián chéng yī piàn ， bàn biān tiān mù dōu bèi cǎn lǜ sè de huǒ yàn tián mǎn 。
那些魔火做碧绿之色，配上阴风，越发令人从骨子里觉得发寒，然而威力却当真是非同小可，尤其是数量那么多，连成一片，半边天幕都被惨绿色的火焰填满。
They charged at the old monster with great momentum.
qì shì xiōng xiōng de juǎn xiàng lǎo mó 。
气势汹汹的卷像老魔。
Seeing his avatar attack, Lin Xuan's true form didn't sit idle either. He flipped his left hand open, revealing an ancient mirror.
huà shēn chū shǒu le ， lín xuān běn tǐ ， zì rán gèng bú huì xián zhe 。
化身出手了，林轩本体，自然更不会闲着。
Thousand Illusions True Man could see clearly that this wasn't just any treasure.
zhǐ jiàn tā zuǒ shǒu yī fān ， yī gǔ piáo de jìng zi yìng rù le yǎn lián 。
只见他左手一翻，一古朴的镜子映入了眼帘。
Heaven-defying Treasure!
qiān huàn lǎo mó kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， nà jìng zi jué bú shì shén me pǔ tōng de bǎo wù 。
千幻老魔看得清清楚楚，那镜子绝不是什么普通的宝物。
And it was of the lightning attribute, though a postnatal creation, its quality was still commendable.
tōng tiān líng bǎo ！
通天灵宝！
Four small characters appeared in the mirror's surface.
ér qiě shì léi shǔ xìng de ， suī shì hòu tiān shēng chéng zhī wù ， dàn pǐn zhì yě shì bù sú 。
而且是雷属性的，虽是后天生成之物，但品质也是不俗。
Crushed Lightning Ancient Mirror!
yǐn yǐn yǒu sì gè xiǎo zì yìng rù yǎn lián zhōng 。
隐隐有四个小字映入眼帘中。
This was also a treasure Lin Xuan had obtained from the Ethereal Immortal Palace. Given that he valued it so much, its power must be immense.
jī léi gǔ jìng ！
齑雷古镜！
Lin Xuan drank a drop of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk and felt his abundant magical energy surge from his dantian. He immediately poured it into the mirror.
zhè yě shì lín xuān zài piāo miǎo xiān gōng bǎo kù zhōng suǒ huò dé de bǎo wù ， jì rán néng wèi tā kàn zhòng ， wēi lì zì rán shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
这也是林轩在飘渺仙宫宝库中所获得的宝物，既然能为他看中，威力自然是非同小可。
Bang!
lín xuān yǎng tóu hē xià yī dī wàn nián líng rǔ ， gǎn jué chōng pèi de fǎ lì yóu dān tián zhōng shēng chū ， lì kè èr huà bù shuō de jiāng tā zhù rù shǒu zhōng de bǎo wù 。
林轩仰头喝下一滴万年灵乳，感觉充沛的法力由丹田中生出，立刻二话不说的将它注入手中的宝物。
The mirror's light blazed brightly, like a sun hanging in the sky. Its size increased as well, producing a cacophony of noise. Hundreds of ravens-like demonic birds flew out.
pēng ！
嘭！
These were much larger than actual crows and had three magical eyes. Their bodies were wrapped in electric arcs, which weren't just part of their appearance; they themselves were composed of electrical elements.
jìng zi guāng máng dà fàng ， yào yǎn dé fǎng fú xuán guà zài tiān kōng zhōng de tài yáng 。 jìng zi de tǐ jī yě tóng yàng biàn fū le xǔ duō ， zhǐ wén guā zào shēng dà zuò ， jìng shì wú shù xíng rú wū yā de mó niǎo cóng lǐ miàn fēi chū lái le 。
镜子光芒大放，耀眼得仿佛悬挂在天空中的太阳。镜子的体积也同样变夫了许多，只闻聒噪声大作，竟是无数形如乌鸦的魔鸟从里面飞出来了。
Crackling sounds filled the air as these birds attacked the old monster with great ferocity.
rán ér tā men de tǐ jī ， què bǐ wū yā dà dé duō ， ér qiě shēng zhe sān zhǐ yāo mù ， hún shēn shàng xià ， bāo guǒ zhe wèi lán sè de diàn hú ， bú duì ， zhè mó yā běn shēn ， jiù shì yóu diàn yuán sù gòu chéng de 。
然而它们的体积，却比乌鸦大得多，而且生着三只妖目，浑身上下，包裹着蔚蓝色的电弧，不对，这魔鸦本身，就是由电元素构成的。
The old monster was shaken by so many attacks but quickly replaced his dazed expression with a fierce one. A sinister look flashed across his face.
pī lǐ pā lā shēng dà zuò ， shù liàng gèng shì yǒu shàng bǎi zhī duō ， yī wō fēng de xiàng lǎo mó shā guò qù le 。
噼里啪啦声大做，数量更是有上百之多，一窝蜂的像老魔杀过去了。
He opened his mouth and spat out a sword beam, which didn't attack; instead, it wrapped around his wrist before slicing off half of his hand.
tóng shí bèi zhè me duō gōng jī suǒ bāo guǒ ， qiān huàn lǎo mó yě yǒu diǎn dǎ chù ， dàn hěn kuài ， nà huǎng hū de biǎo qíng jiù bèi xiōng lì gěi tì dài le 。
同时被这么多攻击所包裹，千幻老魔也有点打怵，但很快，那恍惚的表情就被凶厉给替代了。
Surprisingly, no blood flowed, and he showed no signs of pain. With a loud bang, the severed hand exploded into a bloody mist, expanding to cover an area of several acres, obscuring the old monster's figure.
miàn shàng níng sè yī shǎn ér guò 。
面上狞色一闪而过。
It seemed like some kind of protective technique, but it required so much blood as an incantation that its power was undeniable.
zhǐ jiàn tā yī zhāng kǒu ， cóng zuǐ bā lǐ pēn chū yī dào jiàn máng ， rán ér nà jiàn máng méi yǒu yòng yú gōng dí ， ér shì wéi zhuó shǒu wàn yī rào ， jū rán zhǎn xià le bàn gè shǒu zhǎng 。
只见他一张口，从嘴巴里喷出一道剑芒，然而那剑芒没有用于攻敌，而是围着手腕一绕，居然斩下了半个手掌。
Lin Xuan's pupils contracted slightly. He didn't have time for more spells; he needed to see how effective this wave of attacks would be.
guǐ yì de shì méi yǒu yī dī xiān xuè liú chū ， lǎo mó de liǎn shàng ， yě bú jiàn fēn háo tòng kǔ ， pēng de yī shēng ， nà shǒu zhǎng bào chéng le yī tuán xuè wù ， yǔ sì zhōu de tiān dì yuán qì hùn zài yì qǐ ， kuò dà dào mǔ xǔ fāng yuán ， jiāng lǎo mó de shēn xíng zhē yǎn 。
诡异的是没有一滴鲜血流出，老魔的脸上，也不见分毫痛苦，嘭的一声，那手掌爆成了一团血雾，与四周的天地元气混在一起，扩大到亩许方圆，将老魔的身形遮掩。
The Seeds of True Spirit Heavenly Fire moved the fastest and soon collided with the opponent. However, the strange red cloud blocked the fiery attack, producing loud cracking sounds that did nothing to harm the old monster.
sì hū shì shén me fáng hù mì shù ， dàn jū rán yào nà me duō jīng xuè wèi yǐn ， cái néng shī zhǎn ， wēi lì zì rán shì bù fán 。
似乎是什么防护秘术，但居然要那么多精血为引，才能施展，威力自然是不凡。
Lin Xuan's expression darkened. The Seeds of True Spirit Heavenly Fire was his most powerful secret technique; he knew its power well. With the addition of a tiny amount of Chaos Yin Qi, it had become even more formidable than before. Yet, it still failed to show any effect on thistranscending-calamity period old monster, who proved far more difficult than expected.
lín xuān tóng kǒng 『 mèng yǐ qǐ háng ★ qīng yì ěr yǎ 』 wēi suō ， yě lái bù jí shī zhǎn gèng duō de fǎ shù ， xiān kàn kàn zhè yī bō gōng jī de wēi lì jiū jìng rú hé 。
林轩瞳孔『梦已启航★清逸尔雅』微缩，也来不及施展更多的法术，先看看这一波攻击的威力究竟如何。
Meanwhile, the greenish-black skeletons and electric ravens closed in.
huàn líng tiān huǒ de sù dù zuì kuài ， hěn kuài yǐ zhuàng le shàng lái ， rán ér néng fén jǐn yī qiè de xuán huǒ ， què bèi nà tuán guǐ yì de hóng yún dǎng zhù ， zhǐ wén pī lǐ pā lā de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī shí piàn kè ， què ná duì fāng shì wú kě nài hé 。
幻灵天火的速度最快，很快已撞了上来，然而能焚尽一切的玄火，却被那团诡异的红云挡住，只闻噼里啪啦的爆裂声传入耳朵，一时片刻，却拿对方是无可奈何。
The former gnawed their way through, spewing out demonic flames that reached from heaven to earth, combining with the Seeds of True Spirit Heavenly Fire. The latter expanded several times larger, enveloped in electric arcs, charging directly at the old monster.
lín xuān de liǎn sè yǒu xiē yīn mái ， huàn líng tiān huǒ zuò wéi tā yā xiāng dǐ de mì shù ， wēi lì rú hé ， lín xuān zì shì zuì qīng chǔ ， yóu qí róng rù le hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì ， suī rán zhǐ yǒu yī lǚ ， dàn wēi lì yǔ yǐ qián xiāng bǐ ， tí shēng le hé zhǐ bèi xǔ ， jū rán yī jiù méi yǒu fēn háo xiào guǒ ， dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， guǒ rán bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào nán chán dé duō 。
林轩的脸色有些阴霾，幻灵天火作为他压箱底的秘术，威力如何，林轩自是最清楚，尤其融入了混沌太阴之气，虽然只有一缕，但威力与以前相比，提升了何止倍许，居然依旧没有分毫效果，渡劫期老怪物，果然比自己想象的还要难缠得多。
In an instant, lightning, fire, and thunder filled the sky as Lin Xuan's true form and avatar attacked without reserve, aiming to kill this old monster here.
ér zhè yī dān gē ， nà xiē yīn fēng cǎn cǎn de kū lóu yǔ léi diàn zǔ chéng de mó yā yě shā le guò lái 。
而这一耽搁，那些阴风惨惨的骷髅与雷电组成的魔鸦也杀了过来。
However, his opponent's defenses were formidable. Despite his powerful attacks, Lin Xuan couldn't tear through the red cloud enveloping him. There was always a slight gap in his efforts.
In an instant, a burst of spiritual light flashed, and the loud explosion echoed through the sky. True Spirit refined into sword technique truly lived up to its reputation; the Phoenix transformed from the nine-palace sword managed to hold off three opponents without showing any signs of weakening.
"Impossible!"
Thousand Illusions True Man was dumbfounded. This was a direct confrontation, with no room for trickery. How could his opponent really stand on equal footing?
Did he misread the situation? What technique did this young man use that had such formidable power? The doubts in his heart couldn't be resolved.
Lin Xuan's attacks continued unabated. At this stage of their battle, the grudge between him and the old monster could no longer be settled. With a powerful enemy watching over them, Lin Xuan and Cloud Concealment Sect would never have peace. He wouldn't hide any more; he'd use all his might to eliminate this foe here.

The five-colored crystal light flickered and shimmered, emitting a breath-taking aura.

Lin Xuan's hands danced as he cast a spell. The flame spun and grew to over ten feet in diameter, radiating a destructive energy before hurling itself at the opponent.
His goal was to kill this old monster, so his methods wouldn't stop here.
Without further ado, Lin Xuan's body split into two.
Was this an illusion?
No, Thousand Illusions True Man was already skilled in such techniques. He quickly realized he had been mistaken.

As he pondered, he noticed the differences between the two Lin Xuans. While their appearances and builds were nearly identical, the left one was noticeably darker.
With that thought, both Lin Xuans moved simultaneously. The left one clapped his hands together, revealing a pitch-black banner in his palms.
Suddenly, howling winds filled the air as ghostly cries echoed. Heaven and earth seemed to change color.
"Quick!" The left Lin Xuan pointed at the opponent with his finger.
As he did so, a greenish-black cloud emerged from the banner's surface, rapidly expanding to envelop both Lin Xuans. The cold wind was bone-chilling, and the color of the cloud changed strangely.
A moment ago, it looked like a tranquil green pond, but now it turned pitch black. Then, with terrifying screams, one after another, skeletons flew out of the cloud.
