zhè jiù shì shēn jiā fēng hòu de hǎo chù ， lín xuān kě yǐ suí biàn hē tí chún hòu de wàn nián líng rǔ， fǒu zé ， jiù suàn tā fǎ lì bǐ tóng jiē xiū shì shēn hòu dé duō ， yě bù zú yǐ zhī chēng rú cǐ jī liè de dòu fǎ 。
这就是身家丰厚的好处，林轩可以随便喝提纯后的万年灵rǔ，否则，就算他法力比同阶修士深厚得多，也不足以支撑如此激烈的斗法。
This was the benefit of having ample resources. Lin Xuan could casually consume purified ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs, otherwise, even if his magical power far exceeded that of his peers, it would not be enough to sustain such intense combat.
lín xuān kě yǐ suí shí bǔ chōng fǎ lì ， ér qiān huàn zhēn rén jiù zhǐ néng kàn zhuó yǎn chán ér yǐ 。
林轩可以随时补充法力，而千幻真人就只能看着眼馋而已。
Lin Xuan could replenish his magical power at any time, while Qianhuan True Immortal could only envy from afar.
tā suǒ miàn lín de wēi jī hái yuǎn bù zhǐ yú cǐ 。
他所面临的危机还远不止于此。
The dangers he faced were far more than just this.
suí zhe lín xuān yī jiàn huī chū ， zhēn líng kuǐ lěi yě yǒu le dòng zuò ， tóu dǐng de yún céng shàng ， tàn chū yī shān yuè dà xiǎo de tóu lú 。
随着林轩一剑挥出，真灵傀儡也有了动作，头顶的云层上，探出一山岳大小的头颅。
As Lin Xuan slashed with a sword, the true spirit puppet also moved. A head as large as a mountain poked out from the clouds above its head. Its appearance was extremely similar to that of a true dragon according to legends.
xíng mào yǔ chuán shuō zhōng de zhēn lóng xiāng sì dào jí chù 。
形貌与传说中的真龙相似到极处。
This puppet was originally made based on the prototype of a true dragon; however, the strongest true spirits were not easily mimicked. The final product's strength was vastly different from the original.
cǐ kuǐ lěi yuán běn jiù shì yǐ zhēn lóng wèi yuán xíng zhì zuò ， zhǐ bù guò zuì qiáng de zhēn líng yòu qǐ shì nà me róng yì mó fǎng de ， zuì hòu zhì zuò chū lái ， shí lì què xiāng qù shèn yuǎn 。
此傀儡原本就是以真龙为原型制作，只不过最强的真灵又岂是那么容易模仿的，最后制作出来，实力却相去甚远。
But in terms of appearance, it was indeed incredibly lifelike.
bù guò jiù xíng mào lái shuō ， dào zhēn shì wéi miào wéi xiào dào jí chù 。
不过就形貌来说，倒真是惟妙惟肖到极处。
Roar!
hǒu ！
吼！
The deafening roar entered Lin Xuan’s ears as the giant dragon head opened its blood-filled maw. Following that, a series of light beams shot out from its mouth.
zhèn tiān de páo xiāo chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà jù dà de lóng shǒu zhāng kāi le xuè pén dà kǒu ， suí hòu zhǐ jiàn líng guāng yī shǎn ， yī dào dào guāng zhù yóu tā de zuǐ bā zhōng sàn shè chū lái 。
震天的咆哮传入耳朵，那巨大的龙首张开了血盆大口，随后只见灵光一闪，一道道光柱由牠的嘴巴中散shè出来。
Each beam was no thicker than an arm but there were so many of them that they seemed endless. Describing it with raindrops falling would be accurate; and this dense rain was akin to the fierce wind and heavy rain in legends.
nà xiē guāng zhù měi yī dào bù guò ér bì cū ， rán ér shù liàng què duō dào lìng rén fà zhǐ de dì bù 。
那些光柱每一道不过儿臂粗，然而数量却多到令人发指的地步。
Puff puff puff…
yòng mì rú yǔ diǎn lái xíng róng háo wú kuā zhāng zhī chù ， ér qiě yì bān de xiǎo yǔ bú huì yǒu nà me mì jí ， jiù fǎng fú shì chuán shuō zhōng de jí fēng zhòu yǔ 。
用密如雨点来形容毫无夸张之处，而且一般的小雨不会有那么密集，就仿佛是传说中的疾风骤雨。
The light beams continuously struck the blood mist, causing the red light curtain to shake violently. It could almost be said to be about to fall apart.
pū pū pū ……
噗噗噗……
The true spirit puppet’s strength was comparable to cultivators who had passed through tribulation. With spiritual stones as power sources, its combat effectiveness in a short period of time might even surpass that of an early-stage existence by one level.
guāng zhù bù tíng de jī dǎ shàng nà xuè wù 。
光柱不停的击打上那血雾。
Qianhuan Old Demon now found it hard to express his distress.
hóng sè de guāng mù jí sù yáo huàng qǐ lái le ， shuō yáo yáo yù zhuì yì diǎn yě bù wèi guò 。
红sè的光幕急速摇晃起来了，说摇摇yù坠一点也不为过。
Facing such attacks, enduring them was incredibly foolish, but escaping would be no easy feat either. For the moment, he had no good ideas and could only grit his teeth and endure.
zhēn líng kuǐ lěi de shí lì kān bǐ dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， yǐ xiān shí zuò wéi dòng lì ， zài duǎn shí jiān nèi bào fā chū lái de zhàn dòu lì shèn zhì hái yǒu kě néng shèng shàng chū qī cún zài yī chóu 。
真灵傀儡的实力堪比渡劫级别的修仙者，以仙石作为动力，在短时间内爆发出来的战斗力甚至还有可能胜上初期存在一筹。
Just dealing with the true spirit puppet’s attacks alone made him extremely exhausted. On the other side, the light balls formed by the Four Elemental Illusions also rushed over.
qiān huàn lǎo mó cǐ kè jiù yǒu kǔ shuō bù chū 。
千幻老魔此刻就有苦说不出。
The power of this attack was already formidable, but now it seemed to be the final straw for the old demon.
miàn duì zhè yàng de gōng jī ， yìng káng shì hěn yú chǔn dì ， dàn xiǎng yào tuō shēn ， yòu nǎ shì nà me róng yì 。
面对这样的攻击，硬扛是很愚蠢地，但想要脱身，又哪是那么容易。
Boom!
yī shí jiān ， tā yě xiǎng bù chū shén me hǎo zhǔ yì ， wéi yǒu yǎo yá kǔ chēng ér yǐ 。
一时间，他也想不出什么好主意，唯有咬牙苦撑而已。
The dark red light curtain finally shattered, and Lin Xuan was elated. He not only injected more magical power into the Devouring Spirit Sword but also activated the Illusory Heavenly Fire and Ten Thousand Souls Banner together.
guāng shì zhēn líng kuǐ lěi de gōng jī 。 yǐ ràng tā fèn wài chī lì 。 lìng yī biān ， sì líng xū yǐng suǒ huà de guāng qiú ， yě hōng rán shā zhì 。
光是真灵傀儡的攻击。已让他分外吃力。另一边，四灵虚影所化的光球，也轰然杀至。
This was a good opportunity to eliminate his opponent in one fell swoop. Lin Xuan wanted to accomplish everything at once.
zhè yī jī de wēi lì 。 yuán běn jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， gèng fǎng fú yā kuǎ luò tuó de zuì hòu yī gēn dào cǎo le 。
这一击的威力。原本就非同小可，此时此刻，更仿佛压垮骆驼的最后一根稻草了。
Whether he could or not, Lin Xuan didn’t know, but trying always couldn’t be wrong. Even if the worst outcome was that he failed, it wouldn’t be for nothing. If he couldn’t completely destroy the old demon, he would still inflict some injuries on him.
hōng ！
轰！
With this thought in mind, Lin Xuan employed all his techniques. Considering his situation, he didn’t need to worry about magical power shortages.
nà àn hóng sè de guāng mù 。 zhōng yú bīng xiāo wǎ jiě diào le ， lín xuān xīn zhōng dà xǐ ， bù zhǐ wǎng shì líng jiàn zhōng zhù rù gèng duō de fǎ lì ， huàn líng tiān huǒ ， wàn hún fān yě yì qǐ fā lì 。
那暗红sè的光幕。终于冰消瓦解掉了，林轩心中大喜，不止往噬灵剑中注入更多的法力，幻灵天火，万魂幡也一起发力。
Lightning spread everywhere as the space seemed to shatter. Lin Xuan used his full strength, transforming into his true form and using different moves. Combined with the true spirit puppet, the power was beyond boundless. The space here couldn’t bear it.
zhè shí hòu ， zhèng shì miè shā duì fāng de hǎo shí jī ， lín xuān xiǎng yào bì qí gōng yú yī yì 。
这时候，正是灭杀对方的好时机，林轩想要毕其功于一役。
Rumble…
jiū jìng néng bù néng zuò dào ， lín xuān yě bù xiǎo de ， dàn nǔ lì yī xià 。 zǒng bú huì yǒu cuò ， nǎ pà zuì huài de jié guǒ ， yě bù zhì yú shì bái máng huó 。 jiù suàn bù néng jiāng duì fāng gěi miè le 。 duō duō shǎo shǎo ， zǒng néng ràng tā shòu yī xiē shāng de 。
究竟能不能做到，林轩也不晓得，但努力一下。总不会有错，哪怕最坏的结果，也不至于是白忙活。就算不能将对方给灭了。多多少少，总能让他受一些伤的。
The continuous explosions lasted for a long time; exactly how long was hard to say, but at least a tea cup’s worth of time had passed.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe 。 lín xuān shǒu duàn qí chū ， fǎn zhèng yǐ tā de qíng kuàng ， yě bù yòng kǎo lǜ fǎ lì bù zú 。
心中如此想着。林轩手段齐出，反正以他的情况，也不用考虑法力不足。
Lin Xuan showed no disregard for the tribulation period cultivators. He didn’t think about conserving magical power at all.
yī shí jiān ， líng guāng sì shè， fāng yuán bǎi lǐ ， zhěng gè kōng jiān ， fǎng fú dōu yào suì liè diào le ， lín xuān quán lì chū shǒu ， huà shēn běn tǐ ， jiē shǐ yòng bù tóng de zhāo shù ， zài jiā shàng zhēn líng kuǐ lěi ， nà wēi lì ， hé zhǐ yí gè páng bó ， cǐ chù de kōng jiān ， què shí chéng shòu bú zhù 。
一时间，灵光四shè，方圆百里，整个空间，仿佛都要碎裂掉了，林轩全力出手，化身本体，皆使用不同的招数，再加上真灵傀儡，那威力，何止一个磅礴，此处的空间，确实承受不住。
His attack was unrestrained and wild.
hōng lōng lóng ……
轰隆隆……
"Huff huff."
lián mián bù duàn de bào liè shēng chí xù le hǎo jiǔ ， jù tǐ duō zhǎng bù hǎo shuō ， dàn yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu kěn dìng shì yǒu 。
连绵不断的爆裂声持续了好久，具体多长不好说，但一盏茶的功夫肯定是有。
After the attack ended, Lin Xuan himself panted heavily. Although his magical power hadn’t run out, it had significantly depleted.
duì dù jié qī ， lín xuān shì sī háo bù gǎn dà yì ， jié yuē fǎ lì zhè zhǒng shì ， nà shì xiǎng dōu méi xiǎng guò dì 。
对渡劫期，林轩是丝毫不敢大意，节约法力这种事，那是想都没想过地。
He quickly drank some purified spirit herbs; under these circumstances, he couldn’t afford to be careless. Then, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked ahead.
tā zhè yī lún gōng jī ， dǎ dé shì bēn fàng wú bǐ 。
他这一轮攻击，打得是奔放无比。
The smoke hadn’t cleared yet, but for Lin Xuan, there was no hindrance at all. Everything in front of him was revealed by the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye.
“ hū hū 。”
“呼呼。”
What met his eyes made Lin Xuan’s heart leap with joy. Although he couldn’t completely destroy the old demon, his injuries were far more severe than expected. One hand and one leg had vanished, leaving only half a body. He could say that it was pitiful beyond words.
dài gōng jī jié shù ， lín xuān zì jǐ dōu lèi dé hū hū zhí chuǎn ， fǎ lì suī rán méi yǒu jiàn dǐ ， dàn shèng yú yě shì zhe shí bù duō dì 。
待攻击结束，林轩自己都累得呼呼直喘，法力虽然没有见底，但剩余也是着实不多地。
Lin Xuan stopped attacking. However, the jade net bee, which had just temporarily avoided the attack, now fiercely attacked with great momentum.
tā máng yòu hē le jǐ kǒu tí chún hòu de líng rǔ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， kě shì sī háo dà yì bù dé ， suí hòu lín xuān cái yǎn jīng wēi mī ， xiàng zhe qián fāng wàng le guò qù 。
他忙又喝了几口提纯后的灵rǔ，这种情况下，可是丝毫大意不得，随后林轩才眼睛微眯，向着前方望了过去。
The old demon had already tasted the bitterness of time poison once. Even at his peak, he wouldn’t dare to be careless about this divine technique. Let alone in such a severely injured state.
yān chén shàng wèi sàn qù ， dàn duì lín xuān lái shuō ， què sī háo zǔ dǎng zuò yòng yě wú ， suǒ yǒu de dōng xī ， zài tiān fèng shén mù xià ， jiē yī lǎn wú yú 。
烟尘尚未散去，但对林轩来说，却丝毫阻挡作用也无，所有的东西，在天凤神目下，皆一览无余。
His situation was dire, but as a tribulation period cultivator, he naturally wouldn’t sit and wait for death. He still struggled with his treasures to resist the jade net bee’s attacks.
rù mù suǒ jiàn de qíng jǐng ， què shì ràng lín xuān xīn zhōng dà xǐ ， suī rán méi néng miè shā lǎo mó ， dàn duì fāng shāng shì zhī zhòng ， hái yào chāo hū yuán xiān de yù jì ， yī shǒu yī tuǐ bù yì ér fēi ， zhǐ shèng xià le bàn piàn shēn tǐ ， kě yǐ shuō ， qī cǎn dào wú yǐ fù jiā de jìng dì 。
入目所见的情景，却是让林轩心中大喜，虽然没能灭杀老魔，但对方伤势之重，还要超乎原先的预计，一手一腿不翼而飞，只剩下了半片身体，可以说，凄惨到无以复加的境地。
The shape of the treasure was peculiar; it looked like an alchemy furnace from which black threads continuously shot out, like fine rain, targeting the jade net bees.
lín xuān shì tíng xià le gōng jī ， rán ér gāng gāng zàn bì fēng máng de yù luó fēng cǐ kè què shì qì shì xiōng xiōng de pū le shàng qù 。
林轩是停下了攻击，然而刚刚暂避锋芒的玉罗蜂此刻却是气势汹汹的扑了上去。
Although they couldn’t truly block them, these threads somewhat obstructed their path. His face was full of resentment and hatred—stealing chickens hadn’t gone well, and he never dreamed that fighting Lin Xuan would end up in such a humiliating situation.
shí jiān zhī dú ， lǎo mó yǐ jīng chī guò yī cì kǔ ， cǐ shén tōng biàn shì tā quán shèng zhī shí ， yě bù gǎn yǒu bàn diǎn qīng hū ， gèng bú yào shuō ， rú jīn shāng zhòng dào zhè bān dì bù 。
时间之毒，老魔已经吃过一次苦，此神通便是他全盛之时，也不敢有半点轻忽，更不要说，如今伤重到这般地步。
The hope of victory had become faint now. He had already shown signs of retreat in his eyes.
tā de qíng kuàng yǐ bù miào dào jí chù ， dàn shēn wèi dù jié qī ， zì rán bú huì shù shǒu dài bì ， yī jiù pīn mìng qū shǐ zhe bǎo wù ， dǐ dǎng zhe yù luó fēng de gōng jī 。
他的情况已不妙到极处，但身为渡劫期，自然不会束手待毙，依旧拼命驱使着宝物，抵挡着玉罗蜂的攻击。
However, it wasn’t as simple to leave.
nà bǎo wù xíng zhuàng qí tè ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， jū rán xiàng shì liàn dān de dǐng lú ， lǐ miàn bù tíng yǒu hēi sè de xì sī jī shè ér chū ， rú niú máo xì yǔ ， xiàng yù luó fēng fēi shè ér qù 。
那宝物形状奇特，一眼望去，居然像是炼丹的鼎炉，里面不停有黑sè的细丝激shè而出，如牛毛细雨，像玉罗蜂飞shè而去。
Lin Xuan’s combat experience was rich; letting the old demon go free would be foolishness he wouldn’t commit.
suī rán bù néng zhēn de dǎng zhù ， dàn duō shǎo yǒu yī xiē zǔ dǎng de yòng tú ， ér tā de liǎn shàng ， zé mǎn shì yuàn dú ， tōu jī bù chéng shí bǎ mǐ ， zuò mèng yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào yǔ lín xuān yī zhàn ， zuì hòu què shì zì jǐ láng bèi dào zhè bān jìng dì 。
虽然不能真的挡住，但多少有一些阻挡的用途，而他的脸上，则满是怨毒，偷鸡不成蚀把米，做梦也没有想到与林轩一战，最后却是自己狼狈到这般境地。
With a wave of his sleeve, an ancient-looking spear flew out. Lin Xuan grabbed it and fiercely slashed forward.
xiàn zài qǔ shèng de xī wàng yǐ miǎo máng dé jǐn ， tā de yǎn zhōng ， yǐ yǒu le tuì yì 。
现在取胜的希望已渺茫得紧，他的眼中，已有了退意。
Sizzle…
rán ér bìng bú shì xiǎng zǒu jiù néng zǒu diào dì 。
然而并不是想走就能走掉地。
As he moved, a crescent-shaped light blade appeared and shot towards the old demon. At the same time, his transformed hands danced like butterflies, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner underwent new changes and actions.
lín xuān dòu fǎ de jīng yàn hé děng fēng fù ， fàng hǔ guī shān zhè yàng de chǔn shì ， tā shì wú lùn rú hé ， yě bú huì qù zuò 。
林轩斗法的经验何等丰富，放虎归山这样的蠢事，他是无论如何，也不会去做。
The one hundred and eight skull heads closed in on each other, exuding corpse energy until they vanished without a trace. In their place, three tall and imposing mummified corpses appeared.
xiù páo yī fú ， yī shì yàng gǔ piáo de zhǎng gē fēi lüè ér chū ， lín xuān shēn shǒu wò zhù ， hěn hěn cháo zhe qián fāng pī chū 。
袖袍一拂，一式样古朴的长戈飞掠而出，林轩伸手握住，狠狠朝着前方劈出。
One of them had a hunched back, holding a spear with gray-white pupils, radiating a robust aura.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
The other used heavy weaponry; both hands tightly gripping an enormous axe. Unlike ordinary zombies, his body was covered in tightly coiled muscles, clearly indicating immense strength.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， yuè yá xíng de guāng rèn fú xiàn ér qǐ ， xiàng zhe lǎo mó jī shè ér qù ， yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， huà shēn shuāng shǒu yě shì rú chuān huā hú dié yì bān de fēi wǔ ， wàn hún fān yòu yǒu le xīn de biàn huà yǔ dòng zuò 。
随着他的动作，月牙形的光刃浮现而起，向着老魔激shè而去，与此同时，化身双手也是如穿花蝴蝶一般的飞舞，万魂幡又有了新的变化与动作。
However, the most terrifying were still these three mummified corpses. Their skin had turned slightly silver, with some runes-like patterns visible. They didn’t hold any weapons but each wrist was bound by thick chains, producing a tugging sound that echoed from them.
nà yì bǎi líng bā kē kū lóu tóu wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé ， shī qì dà zuò ， kū lóu xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng ， qǔ ér dài zhī shì sān jù gāo dà liàn shī fú xiàn ér chū 。
那一百零八颗骷髅头往中间一合，尸气大做，骷髅消失得无影无踪，取而代之是三具高大炼尸浮现而出。
They were the ones exuding the heaviest corpse energy.
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。
The three mummified corpses revealed their fangs and let out piercing roars, forming a "品" shape to surround Qianhuan True Immortal.
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 ， 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 。
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，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。
This wasn’t over yet. The phoenix-like form of the Nine Palaces Musty Sword also arrived here with the sound of phoenix calls. The power of the True Spirit Sword Technique was formidable; several of the old demon’s treasures were finally destroyed, including one that was his own life-bound treasure. A mouthful of blood gushed out as he was emotionally affected.
rán ér zhè liǎng gè hái bú shì zuì kě pà de 。
然而这两个还不是最可怕的。
As they say, misfortunes never come singly. Despair appeared in Qianhuan Old Demon's eyes.
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。
"Little Lin, leave a line for everything so we can meet again later. If you stop now, I’ll owe you one."
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 ， yǐn yǐn yǒu zhuāi dì de shēng yīn ， yóu cǐ liàn tiào shàng fā chū 。
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，隐隐有拽地的声音，由此链跳上发出。
PS: Sweat. I have to go out for the New Year dinner soon and will write the next chapter after coming back. Please vote for recommendation tickets; it’s been busy during the holiday.
This was the benefit of having ample resources. Lin Xuan could casually consume purified ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs, otherwise, even if his magical power far exceeded that of his peers, it would not be enough to sustain such intense combat.
Lin Xuan could replenish his magical power at any time, while Qianhuan True Immortal could only envy from afar.
The dangers he faced were far more than just this.
As Lin Xuan slashed with a sword, the true spirit puppet also moved. A head as large as a mountain poked out from the clouds above its head. Its appearance was extremely similar to that of a true dragon according to legends.
