duì fāng jū rán jiāng zì jǐ de fǎ zé zhī lì pò chú , bìng fēi zhèng tuō , ér shì yòng bǎo wù , jiāng qí qiē duàn diào le 。/
对方居然将自己的法则之力破除,并非挣脱,而是用宝物,将其切断掉了。/
The opponent had actually broken his法则之力, not by escaping but by using a treasure to sever it.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò , zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng , tā xiǎng dōu méi yǒu xiǎng guò , zhè xiǎo jiā huo , jiū jìng zěn me zuò dào de ?
有没有搞错,这种情况,他想都没有想过,这小家伙,究竟怎么做到的?
Did he mishear or something? He hadn’t even considered such a scenario. How did this little brat manage to do that?
guǐ shèng yòu jīng yòu nù , nà yà rán de jīng hū , yǐ jiāng shēn xíng yǐn cáng de dì diǎn bào lù 。
鬼圣又惊又怒,那讶然的惊呼,已将身形隐藏的地点暴露。
Ghost Sage was both shocked and angry; the astonished exclamation revealed his hiding spot.
zhè shì yī bù dà bù xiǎo de shī wù , yě kě yǐ xiǎng jiàn , cǐ shí cǐ kè , tā nèi xīn shēn chù , zhèn hàn dào hé děng dì bù 。
这是一不大不小的失误,也可以想见,此时此刻,他内心深处,震撼到何等地步。
This was a significant mistake, and one could imagine how shaken he must be at this moment.
zhè yàng de hǎo jī huì , lín xuān zì rán méi yǒu fàng guò de dào lǐ , yǎn zhōng yín máng zhòu qǐ , tū rán cháo zhe zuǒ cè yī shuǎi shǒu bì 。
这样的好机会,林轩自然没有放过的道理,眼中银芒骤起,突然朝着左侧一甩手臂。
Such an excellent opportunity wasn't something Lin Xuan would pass up. Silver light flashed in his eyes as he suddenly swung his arm to the left.
lì máng fú xiàn ér chū , cóng lín xuān de shǒu bì shàng , dàn shè chū yī dào yǒu hēi sè de diàn hú , lüè yī fān yǒng , huà wèi yī qī hēi de mò jiāo , cháo zhe nà ge fāng xiàng pū qù 。
厉芒浮现而出,从林轩的手臂上,弹shè出一道黝黑sè的电弧,略一翻涌,化为一漆黑的墨蛟,朝着那个方向扑去。
Sharp rays appeared, and from Lin Xuan’s arm, a dark electric arc was shot out, swirling slightly before transforming into a pitch-black black dragon that rushed toward its target.
qí sù dù zhī kuài , ràng rén chēng mù jié shé , shuō yǎn huā liáo luàn , nà yě shì yì diǎn bù wèi guò 。
其速度之快,让人瞠目结舌,说眼花缭乱,那也是一点不为过。
Its speed was astonishing, leaving people speechless. It could be said that it was dizzying to watch.
suí hòu hōng míng bào liè shēng dà zuò , yíng fēng yī shǎn , nà guǐ shèng de shēn yǐng , zhú jiàn fú xiàn 。
随后轰鸣爆裂声大做,迎风一闪,那鬼圣的身影,逐渐浮现。
Following the loud boom, the Ghost Sage's figure gradually emerged as he blew away the surrounding dark energy. His face was covered in an embarrassed expression.
zhǐ jiàn tā shēn tǐ zhōu wéi de hēi qì , yǐ bèi dàng chú , liǎn shàng mǎn shì láng bèi zhī sè。
只见他身体周围的黑气,已被荡除,脸上满是狼狈之sè。
However, his true appearance still made Lin Xuan’s pupils constrict; indeed, it was a monster never before seen by him.
rán ér qí zhēn shí de xíng mào hái shì ràng lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō , guǒ rán shì yǐ qián cóng suǒ wèi jiàn de guài wù 。
然而其真实的形貌还是让林轩瞳孔微缩,果然是以前从所未见的怪物。
This wasn’t exaggerated at all. Humans aside, this guy’s appearance was vastly different from those of the demons and ancient fiends he had encountered before.
zhè huà méi yǒu fēn háo kuā dà zhī chù , rén lèi kěn dìng bú yòng shuō , zhè jiā huo de yàng mào yǔ yǐ qián jiàn guò de yāo zú hái yǒu gǔ mó yě shì dà bù xiāng tóng de 。
这话没有分毫夸大之处,人类肯定不用说,这家伙的样貌与以前见过的妖族还有古魔也是大不相同的。
He didn’t have any physical form, just an indistinct human-like figure.
jū rán méi yǒu shí tǐ , jiù shì yī dào huī méng méng de rén xíng guāng yǐng ér yǐ 。
居然没有实体,就是一道灰蒙蒙的人形光影而已。
His face was blurry, but his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth were clearly visible.
miàn mù yī piàn mó hú , bù guò yǎn ěr kǒu bí dǎo shì néng gòu kàn de qīng chǔ 。
面目一片模糊,不过眼耳口鼻倒是能够看得清楚。
"Yin Spirit."
“yīn líng 。”
“yīn灵。”
Lin Xuan recognized the origin of the opponent: "To be able to condense its form to such a degree, it’s no wonder this is a Ghost Sage-level powerhouse."
lín xuān yǐ jiāng duì fāng de lái lì rèn chū :“ néng gòu jiāng xíng tài níng jù dào zhè bān dì bù , bù kuì shì guǐ shèng jí bié de qiáng zhě 。”
林轩已将对方的来历认出:“能够将形态凝聚到这般地步,不愧是鬼圣级别的强者。”
In the Yin Realm of the Underworld, yin spirits and ghostly essences weren’t uncommon. However, those who could reach such a level were few and far between.
zài yīn sī dì fǔ ,yīn líng lì pò , nà shì fēn háo yě bù xī qí de , bù guò néng gòu xiū liàn dào zhè bān dì bù , nà zì rán shì fèng máo lín jiǎo le 。
在yīn司地府,yīn灵厉魄,那是分毫也不稀奇的,不过能够修炼到这般地步,那自然是凤毛麟角了。
The protective yin energy surrounding the opponent had been shattered; clearly, that blow had caused him significant pain. But how badly injured he was remained unclear. Lin Xuan’s experience with cultivation was rich, but his encounters with ghostly entities were too few.
duì fāng de hù tǐ yīn qì yǐ bèi jī pò , xiǎn rán gāng gāng nà yī jī , yǐ ràng tā chī le bù shǎo kǔ , bù guò jù tǐ shāng shì rú hé , què bù tài hǎo shuō 。 lín xuān xiū xiān de jīng yàn suī rán fēng fù , dàn yǔ yīn sī guǐ wù jiāo shǒu de cì shù , què tài shǎo le 。
对方的护体yīn气已被击破,显然刚刚那一击,已让他吃了不少苦,不过具体伤势如何,却不太好说。林轩修仙的经验虽然丰富,但与yīn司鬼物交手的次数,却太少了。
From the expression of desperation on his face, it seemed he wasn’t doing well.
dàn cóng duì fāng qì jí bài huài de biǎo qíng , xiǎn rán bù tài hǎo guò 。
但从对方气急败坏的表情,显然不太好过。
Lin Xuan had timed his move perfectly. Facing the electric dragon, he appeared to struggle as well, his face turning blurry before a vortex the size of a fist appeared. At first, Lin Xuan was surprised but quickly realized that the opponent had opened its mouth.
lín xuān de shí jī ná niē dé qià dào hǎo chù , miàn duì pū guò lái de diàn jiāo , tā sì hū yě yǒu xiē nán yú yìng fù , liǎn shàng de miàn mù yī zhèn mó hú , chū xiàn le yī quán tou dà xiǎo de xuán wō 。 lín xuān xiān shì yī è , suí jí míng bái duì fāng shì jiāng zuǐ bā zhāng kāi le 。
林轩的时机拿捏得恰到好处,面对扑过来的电蛟,他似乎也有些难于应付,脸上的面目一阵模糊,出现了一拳头大小的漩涡。林轩先是一愕,随即明白对方是将嘴巴张开了。
Sizzle…
“ cī lā ……”
“刺啦……”
A gray yin fire spewed from his mouth. Although it looked unremarkable at first glance, after the flame was released, the surrounding yin energy seemed to dim slightly.
cóng tā de zuǐ bā zhōng pēn chū yī tuán huī sè de yīn huǒ , biǎo miàn shàng kàn , bù qǐ yǎn , dàn zài pēn chū zhè kǒu huǒ yàn zhī hòu , zǔ chéng tā shēn tǐ de yīn qì , sì hū dōu àn dàn le yì diǎn 。
从他的嘴巴中喷出一团灰sè的yīn火,表面上看,不起眼,但在喷出这口火焰之后,组成他身体的yīn气,似乎都黯淡了一点。
Clearly, this secret technique wasn’t trivial; it somewhat resembled the activation of one’s own primordial essence by a cultivator.
xiǎn rán , zhè mì shù fēi tóng xiǎo kě , yǒu diǎn lèi sì yú xiū shì cuī dòng běn mìng yuán qì yī lèi de dōng dōng 。
显然,这秘术非同小可,有点类似于修士催动本命元气一类的东东。
It was hard to say exactly what it did, but it appeared to be something like that.
jù tǐ bù hǎo shuō 。 dàn dà gài yīng gāi shì zhè yàng de 。
具体不好说。但大概应该是这样的。
The yin fire and electric dragon collided, resulting in both being destroyed.
nà yīn huǒ yǔ diàn jiāo xiāng chù , jū rán tóng guī yú jìn diào le 。
那yīn火与电蛟相触,居然同归于尽掉了。
Seeing the power behind the opponent's technique, Lin Xuan didn’t show much surprise. However, the infuriated voice of the yin spirit reached his ears: "Phantom Yin Thunder; where did you learn such a secret from?"
kàn chū duì fāng qū shǐ de shén tōng fēi tóng xiǎo kě , lín xuān liǎn shàng dǎo shì méi yǒu duō shǎo yì wài zhī sè。 rán ér nà yīn líng yǎo yá qiè chǐ de shēng yīn què chuán rù ěr duǒ , lǐ miàn tòu zhe chà yì yǔ fèn nù :“ huàn yīn shén léi , nǐ yí gè rén lèi , cóng nǎ lǐ tōu xué lái de ?”
看出对方驱使的神通非同小可,林轩脸上倒是没有多少意外之sè。然而那yīn灵咬牙切齿的声音却传入耳朵,里面透着诧异与愤怒:“幻yīn神雷,你一个人类,从哪里偷学来的?”
To learn this secret technique required the Phantom Yin Flower, one of the three great treasures in the Yin Realm. How could Ghost Sage not have heard about it?
xiǎng yào xué cǐ mì shù , bì xū yào yǒu huàn yīn mó huā lái zhe , ér nà kě shì yīn sī jiè sān dà mì bǎo zhī yī , duì fāng zuò wéi guǐ shèng jí bié de qiáng zhě , yòu zěn me kě néng méi yǒu tīng shuō 。
想要学此秘术,必须要有幻yīn魔花来着,而那可是yīn司界三大秘宝之一,对方作为鬼圣级别的强者,又怎么可能没有听说。
"Fool, do you think I would tell you?" Lin Xuan’s playful voice echoed. His eyes and corners were full of mockery.
“ chǔn huò , nǐ jué de lín mǒu huì gào sù nǐ me ?”
“蠢货,你觉得林某会告诉你么?”
The enmity between them was already irreconcilable; either he or the opponent had to die. With that in mind, there was no need for him to be polite anymore.
lín xuān xī xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。 méi shāo yǎn jiǎo mǎn shì jī fěng zhī sè, shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù , shuāng fāng de chóu yuàn zǎo yǐ shì wú kě huà jiě le , bú shì nǐ sǐ jiù shì wǒ huó , jì rán rú cǐ 。 lín xuān dāng rán méi bì yào zài kè qì shén me 。
林轩嬉笑的声音传入耳朵。眉梢眼角满是讥讽之sè,事情到了这一步,双方的仇怨早已是无可化解了,不是你死就是我活,既然如此。林轩当然没必要再客气什么。
"You…"
“ nǐ ……”
“你……”
Ghost Sage was both shocked and angry: "What a sharp-tongued fellow! When I capture you alive and extract your soul, I hope you can still laugh like this."
guǐ shèng yòu jīng yòu nù :“ hǎo yí gè líng yá lì chǐ de jiā huo , dài běn zūn jiāng nǐ shēng qín huó zhuō , jí jiāng chōu hún liàn pò de shí hòu , xī wàng nǐ hái néng rú cǐ xiào dé chū lái de 。”
鬼圣又惊又怒:“好一个伶牙俐齿的家伙,待本尊将你生擒活捉,即将抽魂炼魄的时候,希望你还能如此笑得出来的。”
Before he could finish speaking, the opponent had already acted.
huà yīn wèi luò , duì fāng yǐ dòng shǒu le 。
话音未落,对方已动手了。
He flashed in place, spinning like a top.
zhǐ jiàn tā shēn xíng yī shǎn 。 ruò tuó luó yì bān de zài yuán dì xuán zhuǎn qǐ lái 。
只见他身形一闪。若陀螺一般的在原地旋转起来。
As his movements continued, grayish winds appeared out of thin air.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò , yī dào dào huī méng méng de jù fēng píng kōng ér qǐ 。
随着他的动作,一道道灰蒙蒙的飓风凭空而起。
Yin energy dispersed from these winds, resembling comets but without their brightness, trailing long tails. They were identical to those comets.
yī dào dào yīn qì , yóu nà jù fēng zhōng mí sàn le chū qù , měi yī dào yīn qì , dōu yǔ huì xīng xiàng chà fǎng fú , zhǐ bù guò bìng bù fā liàng , ér shì huī méng méng de , tuō zhe cháng cháng wěi ba de xíng tài , nà shì xiāng sì dào jí chù 。
一道道yīn气,由那飓风中弥散了出去,每一道yīn气,都与彗星相差仿佛,只不过并不发亮,而是灰蒙蒙的,拖着长长尾巴的形态,那是相似到极处。
As the yin energy spread outward, the size of the winds diminished until they vanished in an instant.
ér suí zhe yīn qì cháo zhe sì zhōu sàn shè, nà jù fēng de tǐ jī , què yuè lái yuè xiǎo le , jǐn jǐn jǐ xī , jiù huà wèi le xū wú , cóng yuán dì xiāo shī bú jiàn le 。
而随着yīn气朝着四周散shè,那飓风的体积,却越来越小了,仅仅几息,就化为了虚无,从原地消失不见了。
What a peculiar secret technique; where did Ghost Sage go?
hào qí tè de mì shù , nà guǐ shèng dào nǎ lǐ qù le ?
好奇特的秘术,那鬼圣到哪里去了?
Lin Xuan was slightly surprised, but he found that these yin energies didn’t drift far and dispersed around him.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu xiē jīng yí , què fā xiàn nà xiē yīn qì bìng méi yǒu piāo yuǎn , jiù mí sàn zài zì jǐ de zhōu cè 。
林轩心中有些惊疑,却发现那些yīn气并没有飘远,就弥散在自己的周侧。
Lin Xuan frowned. Before he could react, those yin energies turned blurry, and a dozen identical Ghost Sages appeared in an instant.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu , shàng lái bù jí yǒu suǒ dòng zuò , què jiàn nà xiē yīn qì yī zhèn mó hú , yī mú yī yàng de guǐ shèng shà shí jiān fú xiàn ér chū 。
林轩眉头一皱,尚来不及有所动作,却见那些yīn气一阵模糊,一模一样的鬼圣霎时间浮现而出。
Hundreds of them surrounded his position.
sàn luò zài zì jǐ zhōu cè , zú yǒu qiān bǎi gè zhī duō 。
散落在自己周侧,足有千百个之多。
"Little guy, let you see the power of my Ten Thousand Ghost Formation!"
“ xiǎo jiā huo , ràng nǐ jiàn shí jiàn shí wǒ wàn guǐ dà zhèn de wēi lì rú hé !”
“小家伙,让你见识见识我万鬼大阵的威力如何!”
The eerie laughter of the Ghost Sage echoed, sounding so lifelike that it was hard to distinguish which one was real.
nà xiē guǐ shèng qī lì de kuáng xiào chuán rù ěr duǒ , shēng yīn dòng zuò , dōu wéi miào wéi xiào dào jí chù , ér qiě měi yí gè jiē yīn qì pēn bó , jí biàn yòng shén shí , yě fēn biàn bù chū jiū jìng nǎ yí gè cái shì zhēn de 。
那些鬼圣凄厉的狂笑传入耳朵,声音动作,都惟妙惟肖到极处,而且每一个皆yīn气喷薄,即便用神识,也分辨不出究竟哪一个才是真的。
Did the opponent really transform into hundreds?
nán dào duì fāng zhēn huà shēn chéng le qiān bǎi gè ?
难道对方真化身成了千百个?
Lin Xuan wouldn’t make such a foolish judgment.
lín xuān dāng rán bú huì zuò chū zhè yàng yú chǔn de pàn duàn le 。
林轩当然不会做出这样愚蠢的判断了。
Transforming into countless forms required true immortals or late-stage cultivators. A mere early-stage cultivator couldn’t achieve this level of power.
huà shēn wàn qiān , zhēn xiān huò zhě dù jié hòu qī de qiáng zhě , yě xǔ néng gòu zuò dào zhè yī bù , qū qū dù jié chū qī de cún zài , shì bù kě néng yǒu zhè yàng shí lì de 。
化身万千,真仙或者渡劫后期的强者,也许能够做到这一步,区区渡劫初期的存在,是不可能有这样实力的。
In short, what the opponent used was merely an illusion.
jiǎn dān de shuō , duì fāng shī zhǎn de , bù guò shì huàn shù 。
简单的说,对方施展的,不过是幻术。
Just a simple障眼法 to confuse his vision?
qū qū zhàng yǎn fǎ jiù xiǎng yào mí huò zì jǐ de shì xiàn me ?
区区障眼法就想要迷惑自己的视线么?
Too naive!
tài tiān zhēn le !
太天真了!
Lin Xuan showed no signs of panic; instead, a sneer appeared on his face.
lín xuān liǎn shàng sī háo huāng luàn yě wú , zuǐ jiǎo biān fǎn ér shǎn guò yī mǒ lěng xiào zhī sè。
林轩脸上丝毫慌乱也无,嘴角边反而闪过一抹冷笑之sè。
He took a deep breath and infused his mana into his eyes. Silver light shone from within his pupils as he activated the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye. Illusions were nothing but pretense to him.
shēn shēn hū xī , jiāng fǎ lì wǎng yǎn móu zhōng zhù rù jìn qù , yín máng zài móu dǐ shēn chù liàng qǐ , lín xuān yǐ shī zhǎn chū tiān fèng shén mù , huàn shù shén me de , zài tā miàn qián bù guò shì bān mén nòng fǔ 。
深深呼吸,将法力往眼眸中注入进去,银芒在眸底深处亮起,林轩已施展出天凤神目,幻术什么的,在他面前不过是班门弄斧。
Then, Lin Xuan raised his head and scanned around.
suí hòu lín xuān tái qǐ tóu lú , mù guāng xiàng zhe sì zhōu sǎo guò 。
随后林轩抬起头颅,目光向着四周扫过。
Most of the Ghost Sages had only a thin layer of yin energy surrounding their bodies, clearly illusions.
jué dà bù fèn guǐ shèng , shēn tǐ suǒ yíng rào de yīn qì , dōu zhǐ yǒu biǎo miàn báo báo de yī céng ér yǐ 。
绝大部分鬼圣,身体所萦绕的yīn气,都只有表面薄薄的一层而已。
But there were over a hundred with thick yin energy, all real.
xiǎn rán zhè xiē bù guò shì huàn huà zhī wù 。
显然这些不过是幻化之物。
So many?
dàn yě yǒu bǎi yú gè ,yīn qì níng hòu wú bǐ , quán shì zhēn de 。
但也有百余个,yīn气凝厚无比,全是真的。
Lin Xuan was surprised. Hadn’t the opponent hidden its true form within these illusions?
zhè me duō ?
这么多?
This guy was much more cunning than he had imagined.
lín xuān yī è , duì fāng bú shì jiāng zhēn shēn yǐn cáng yú huàn yǐng me ?
林轩一愕,对方不是将真身隐藏于幻影么?
An early-stage cultivator couldn't transform into countless forms, but creating dozens of such forms wasn't a challenge. This was one of the yin spirit's innate abilities.
zhè jiā huo , bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de yào jiǎo huá dé duō 。
这家伙,比自己想象的要狡猾得多。
With over a hundred forms, it was enough to hide among thousands and wait for an opportunity to attack.
dù jié chū qī , méi yǒu huà shēn wàn qiān de shí lì , dàn jǐn jǐn shì biàn huàn chū bǎi yú gè huà shēn hái shì wú yā lì , zhè běn lái jiù shì yīn líng de tiān fù jì néng zhī yī 。
渡劫初期,没有化身万千的实力,但仅仅是变幻出百余个化身还是无压力,这本来就是yīn灵的天赋技能之一。
Even if his cultivation was formidable, some could still be seen through, leaving at least a few successful attacks.
bǎi yú gè huà shēn , shù liàng yě bù suàn dān bó , yǐn cáng zài chéng qiān shàng wàn gè xū yǐng zhōng sì jī duì jìn xíng zì jǐ tōu xí 。
百余个化身,数量也不算单薄,隐藏在成千上万个虚影中伺机对进行自己偷袭。
The opponent had good plans.
jiù suàn zì jǐ xiū wèi fēi tóng xiǎo kě , jiāng qí zhōng yī xiē kàn pò , zhè bǎi yú gè huà shēn yě zǒng yǒu yī xiē néng gòu tōu xí chéng gōng de 。
就算自己修为非同小可,将其中一些看破,这百余个化身也总有一些能够偷袭成功的。
Unfortunately, like tofu meeting with brine, one thing counters another. His Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye was precisely what was needed to break illusions; even the Thousand Illusion Old Demon couldn't do anything about it. What could this little Ghost Sage accomplish?
duì fāng dǎ dī hǎo zhǔ yì 。
对方打的好主意。
A smug smile appeared on Lin Xuan’s face but quickly vanished.
kě xī lǔ shuǐ diǎn dòu fǔ , yī wù xiáng yī wù , zì jǐ de tiān fèng shén mù , qià hǎo shì zhuǎn pò huàn shù , lián qiān huàn lǎo mó yě ná zì jǐ mò nài hé , yǎn qián zhè xiǎo xiǎo de yīn líng guǐ shèng yòu suàn dé le shén me ?
可惜卤水点豆腐,一物降一物,自己的天凤神目,恰好是转破幻术,连千幻老魔也拿自己没奈何,眼前这小小的yīn灵鬼圣又算得了什么?
If he wanted to play such tricks, he wouldn’t let him down after all his careful planning.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān shǎn guò yī mǒ dé yì de xiào róng , dàn hěn kuài jiù yǐn qù bú jiàn le , duì fāng jì yào wán zhè yàng de bǎ xì , bù jiāng jì jiù jì yī fān , zěn me duì de qǐ tā de yī fān kǔ xīn móu huà ne ?
林轩嘴角边闪过一抹得意的笑容,但很快就隐去不见了,对方既要玩这样的把戏,不将计就计一番,怎么对得起他的一番苦心谋划呢?
As he thought, Lin Xuan showed a look of panic on his face, as if he had been deceived by the opponent's tactics and was at a loss.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò , lín xuān liǎn shàng qià dào hǎo chù de lù chū huāng zhāng zhī sè, sì hū bèi duì fāng de zhāo shù suǒ mí huò , yǒu xiē wú suǒ shì cóng 。
脑海中念头转过,林轩脸上恰到好处的露出慌张之sè,似乎被对方的招数所迷惑,有些无所适从。
</div>
<div>
PS: Fellow Daoists, do you still have recommendation votes? Please give me some!
</div>

The opponent had actually broken his法则之力, not by escaping but by using a treasure to sever it.
Did he mishear or something? He hadn’t even considered such a scenario. How did this little brat manage to do that?
Ghost Sage was both shocked and angry; the astonished exclamation revealed his hiding spot.
This was a significant mistake, and one could imagine how shaken he must be at this moment.
Such an excellent opportunity wasn't something Lin Xuan would pass up. Silver light flashed in his eyes as he suddenly swung his arm to the left.
Sizzle…
Sharp rays appeared, and from Lin Xuan’s arm, a dark electric arc was shot out, swirling slightly before transforming into a pitch-black black dragon that rushed toward its target.
Its speed was astonishing, leaving people speechless. It could be said that it was dizzying to watch.
Following the loud boom, the Ghost Sage's figure gradually emerged as he blew away the surrounding dark energy. His face was covered in an embarrassed expression.
However, his true appearance still made Lin Xuan’s pupils constrict; indeed, it was a monster never before seen by him.
This wasn’t exaggerated at all. Humans aside, this guy’s appearance was vastly different from those of the demons and ancient fiends he had encountered before.

Did the opponent really transform into hundreds?
Lin Xuan wouldn’t make such a foolish judgment.
Transforming into countless forms required true immortals or late-stage cultivators. A mere early-stage cultivator couldn’t achieve this level of power.
In short, what the opponent used was merely an illusion.
Just a simple障眼法 to confuse his vision?
Too naive!
Lin Xuan showed no signs of panic; instead, a sneer appeared on his face.
He took a deep breath and infused his mana into his eyes. Silver light shone from within his pupils as he activated the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye. Illusions were nothing but pretense to him.
Then, Lin Xuan raised his head and scanned around.
Most of the Ghost Sages had only a thin layer of yin energy surrounding their bodies, clearly illusions.
But there were over a hundred with thick yin energy, all real.
So many?
Lin Xuan was surprised. Hadn’t the opponent hidden its true form within these illusions?
This guy was much more cunning than he had imagined.
An early-stage cultivator couldn't transform into countless forms, but creating dozens of such forms wasn't a challenge. This was one of the yin spirit's innate abilities.
With over a hundred forms, it was enough to hide among thousands and wait for an opportunity to attack.
Even if his cultivation was formidable, some could still be seen through, leaving at least a few successful attacks.
The opponent had good plans.
Unfortunately, like tofu meeting with brine, one thing counters another. His Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye was precisely what was needed to break illusions; even the Thousand Illusion Old Demon couldn't do anything about it. What could this little Ghost Sage accomplish?
A smug smile appeared on Lin Xuan’s face but quickly vanished.
If he wanted to play such tricks, he wouldn’t let him down after all his careful planning.
As he thought, Lin Xuan showed a look of panic on his face, as if he had been deceived by the opponent's tactics and was at a loss.
