chà yì zhī yú ， cǐ nǚ bù yóu de zhuǎn tóu xiàng shēn hòu wàng qù 。
诧异之余，此女不由得转头像身后望去。
Surprised, the woman turned her head to look behind.
àn lǐ ， miàn duì qiáng dí ， hái fēn xīn páng wù ， zhè yàng de xíng wéi shì fēi cháng yú chǔn de 。
按理，面对强敌，还分心旁骛，这样的行为是非常愚蠢的。
It was generally foolish for someone to be distracted by a powerful enemy. This woman knew this simple truth, but she was too amazed at the moment. Her action of turning around was purely instinctive.
zhè yàng jiǎn dān de dào lǐ ， cǐ nǚ hé cháng bù xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， rán ér cǐ kè ， tā shí zài shì tài jīng qí le ， zhuǎn tóu wán quán shì xià yì shí de dòng zuò 。
这样简单的道理，此女何尝不心中有数，然而此刻，她实在是太惊奇了，转头完全是下意识的动作。
Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, such an action naturally exposed her vulnerability.
dàn bù guǎn shì yǒu xīn yě hǎo ， wú yì yě bà ， cǐ nǚ rú cǐ zuò ， zì rán yě jiù lù chū pò zhàn lái le 。
但不管是有心也好，无意也罢，此女如此做，自然也就露出破绽来了。
Seizing this good opportunity, Lin Xuan wouldn't let it slip away. He reached into his waistband and a loud crackling sound echoed as he pulled out a fiery red treasure that emitted blue electric arcs, with tiny符文 flickering on its surface.
zhè yàng hǎo de jī huì ， lín xuān qǐ huì fàng guò 。
这样好的机会，林轩岂会放过。
It was the Lightning Fire Spear he had obtained before.
shēn shǒu zài yāo jiān yī mǒ ， dùn shí pī lǐ pā lā de bào xiǎng shēng dà zuò ， zhǐ jiàn yī huǒ hóng sè de bǎo wù jí fēi ér chū ， biǎo miàn hái chán rào zhe wèi lán sè de diàn hú ， yǐn yǐn yǒu mǐ lì dà xiǎo de fú wén tūn tǔ 。
伸手在腰间一抹，顿时噼里啪啦的爆响声大做，只见一火红色的宝物疾飞而出，表面还缠绕着蔚蓝色的电弧，隐隐有米粒大小的符文吞吐。
Although the power of this treasure wasn’t mentioned, its dual属性 of lightning and fire made it effective against阴魂鬼物. With how quickly he could summon it, it was perfect for a sneak attack.
zhèng shì tā yǐ qián suǒ de dào de léi huǒ zhuī bǎo wù 。
正是他以前所得到的雷火锥宝物。
"Ah!"
cǐ bǎo de wēi lì ， zàn qiě bù tí ， léi huǒ shuāng shǔ xìng ， què zhèng hǎo duì yīn hún guǐ wù ， yǒu yí dìng kè zhì de xiào guǒ ， jiā shàng jì qǐ de sù dù jí wéi xùn sù ， yòng yú tōu xí ， nà shì zài hǎo bù guò 。
此宝的威力，暂且不提，雷火双属性，却正好对阴魂鬼物，有一定克制的效果，加上祭起的速度极为迅速，用于偷袭，那是再好不过。
A painful scream entered his ears as Lin Xuan's timing was impeccable. The woman’s eyes widened in disbelief as the Lightning Fire Spear struck her back from an extremely awkward angle, creating a hole about the size of a bowl.
“ a ！”
“啊！”
This wasn’t over yet. Lin Xuan clutched his hands together and a loud explosion filled the air. The electric arcs and flames on the Lightning Fire Spear enveloped the woman entirely.
cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān zhè yī xià duì shí jī de bǎ wò ， shí zài shì ná niē dé tài hǎo le 。
惨叫声传入耳朵，林轩这一下对时机的把握，实在是拿捏得太好了。
The last阴魂鬼物 was finally sent to hell.
zhǐ jiàn cǐ nǚ yuán zhēng shuāng mù ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì bù kě sī yì de tòng kǔ ， nà léi huǒ zhuī cóng jí qí diāo zuān de jiǎo dù ， jī zhòng le tā de bèi bù 。
只见此女圆睁双目，脸上满是不可思议的痛苦，那雷火锥从极其刁钻的角度，击中了她的背部。
However, she died with lingering doubts and regret. Her sudden turn had cost her dearly, but it also allowed him to see that the terrifying old monster was still over a thousand feet away from behind.
bìng kāi le yī wǎn kǒu dà xiǎo de dòng 。
并开了一碗口大小的洞。
So where did this enemy come from?
ér zhè hái méi yǒu jié shù ， zhǐ jiàn lín xuān shuāng shǒu yī wò 。
而这还没有结束，只见林轩双手一握。
She didn’t know. Could Lin Xuan have two forms?
hōng ！
轰！
With deep disappointment and confusion, she returned to the underworld with her soul.
bào xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， léi huǒ zhuī biǎo miàn diàn hú yǔ huǒ yàn yì qǐ dà zuò ， shùn jiān jiāng cǐ nǚ zhěng gè bāo guǒ 。
爆响声传入耳朵，雷火锥表面电弧与火焰一起大做，瞬间将此女整个包裹。
To her death, she never resolved these doubts due to the time pressure. Her subconscious turn only allowed a fleeting glimpse, not enough to notice any difference in his appearance or physique.
sī háo xuán niàn yě wú ， zuì hòu yī míng yīn hún guǐ wù ， yě hún fēi pò sàn diào le 。
丝毫悬念也无，最后一名阴魂鬼物，也魂飞魄散掉了。
An eagle hunting for rabbits still uses its full strength. When an extraordinary treasure appears, timing is crucial. Lin Xuan didn’t hesitate and even summoned his avatar to quickly dispatch the remaining four阴魂鬼物.
zhǐ shì tā zài bù gān zhī yú ， hái dài zhe shēn shēn de yí huò 。
只是她在不甘之余，还带着深深的疑惑。
Although using a bull to kill a chicken was slightly exaggerated, it worked well. With all the ghosts sent to hell, and no other strong enemies nearby, he wouldn’t waste any more time.
nà yī xià zhuǎn tóu ， ràng tā fàn xià le zhì mìng de cuò 。
那一下转头，让她犯下了致命的错。
His figure flashed as he retracted the avatar, then his entire body emitted green light, revealing himself at maximum speed towards Mount Scorpion.
dàn yě qià qià shì yīn wèi zhè xià zhuǎn tóu ， ràng tā kàn de qīng chǔ ， nà kě pà de lǎo guài wù ， míng míng hái zài shēn hòu qiān yú zhàng yuǎn chù 。
但也恰恰是因为这下转头，让他看得清楚，那可怕的老怪物，明明还在身后千余丈远处。
---
nà me ， miàn qián zhè ge dí rén ， yòu shì cóng hé ér lái ne ？
那么，面前这个敌人，又是从何而来呢？
Meanwhile, on Mount Scorpion, the last cluster of阴气 was restless. The rogue revealed his true form—a man in his thirties with a stern face and elegant demeanor, dressed in fine silk robes, resembling a scholar.
tā bù qīng chǔ 。
她不清楚。
His eyes were filled with anxiety as he saw the increasingly bright sign that the treasure was about to appear. It seemed the master had chosen well; the仙环 would be successfully crafted.
nán dào lín xuān jìng yǒu liǎng gè ？
难道林轩竟有两个？
If everything went smoothly, they should receive substantial rewards from their lord’s generous hand. But now, the situation was dire!
dài zhe shēn shēn de bù gān yǔ yí huò ， cǐ nǚ hún guī dì fǔ ！
带着深深的不甘与疑惑，此女魂归地府！
The treasure was indeed going to appear, but a powerful enemy had suddenly appeared.
zhì sǐ ， cǐ nǚ yě méi néng jiāng xīn zhōng de yí huò nòng qīng chǔ 。
至死，此女也没能将心中的疑惑弄清楚。
With the adult already dead and his younger sister leading the charge, they were forced to face this threat head-on. Although his younger sister's guess seemed reasonable, it was still just speculation.
yuán yīn zài yú shí jiān tài cāng cù ， tā nà xià yì shí de huí tóu ， bù guò shì jīng hóng yī piē ， bìng méi yǒu fā xiàn liǎng gè lín xuān róng mào shēn cái ， suī rán bié wú èr zhì ， dàn fū sè què yǒu xiē xǔ chā yì 。
原因在于时间太仓促，她那下意识的回头，不过是惊鸿一瞥，并没有发现两个林轩容貌身材，虽然别无二致，但肤色却有些许差异。
This journey could be extremely dangerous. If she and her companions perished, would the other party come here?
cāng yīng bó tù ， shàng yòng quán lì 。
苍鹰博兔，尚用全力。
The scholar in silk robes was uncertain, which explained his restlessness.
yì bǎo chū shì ， shí jī shāo zòng jí shì ， lín xuān wèi le kuài diǎn jiàng cǐ nǚ miè chú ， shèn zhì bù xī jiāng huà shēn dōu jì chū lái le 。
异宝出世，时机稍纵即逝，林轩为了快点将此女灭除，甚至不惜将化身都祭出来了。
Despite his unease, the appearance of the仙环’s sign became even more prominent. They had anticipated this and set up some hidden arrays to mask it, but they underestimated how noticeable it would be.
shā jī yòng niú dāo suī rán shāo wēi kuā zhāng le nà me yī xiē ， dàn xiào guǒ què hěn xiǎn zhù ， cǐ kè sì míng guǐ wù dōu yǐ hún guī dì fǔ ， fù jìn sì hū yě méi yǒu qiáng dí yǐn cáng zài cè ， lín xuān zì rán bú huì dān gē shí jiān shén me 。
杀鸡用牛刀虽然稍微夸张了那么一些，但效果却很显著，此刻四名鬼物都已魂归地府，附近似乎也没有强敌隐藏在侧，林轩自然不会耽搁时间什么。
The master’s choice of treasure was indeed significant; its pre-appearance signs broke through the protective barriers.
shēn xíng yī shǎn ， huà shēn yǐ bèi tā shōu le huí lái ， suí hòu hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， bù zài yǐn cáng xíng jì ， yǐ zuì kuài de dùn sù ， xiàng tiān xiē shān fēi qù 。
身形一闪，化身已被他收了回来，随后浑身青芒一起，不再隐藏行迹，以最快的遁速，像天蝎山飞去。
What level of treasure was this 仙环?
……
……
The scholar admired while feeling a headache. Regardless, he no longer had to worry about his initial target. The overwhelming sign would draw attention from afar.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， tiān xiē shān shàng ， nà zuì hòu yī tuán yīn qì zhōng de guǐ wù ， yě zuò lì bù ān 。
与此同时，天蝎山上，那最后一团阴气中的鬼物，也坐立不安。
What should they do now?
zhè jiā huo yě bù zài cáng zhuō ， lù chū le tā de zhēn miàn mù ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， dà yuē sān shí suì zuǒ yòu nián jì ， miàn róng yīn lì ， shēn chuān jǐn yī ， què yòu yǒu jǐ fēn rú yǎ zhī qì ， sì hū shì yī shū shēng de yàng zi 。
这家伙也不再藏拙，露出了他的真面目，一眼望去，大约三十岁左右年纪，面容阴厉，身穿锦衣，却又有几分儒雅之气，似乎是一书生的样子。
---
cǐ kè ， tā de yǎn zhōng mǎn shì jiāo jí zhī sè 。
此刻，他的眼中满是焦急之色。
The scholar in silk robes was at a loss. Before he could decide, a prominent streak of green light appeared on the horizon.
qián fāng ， nà bǎo wù jí jiāng chū shì de yì zhào yuè fā de yào yǎn duó mù ， kàn lái ， zhè cì zhǔ rén diǎn míng yào yào de kùn xiān huán fǎ bǎo ， yīng gāi shì bú huì chū shén me chā cuò ， liàn zhì chéng gōng le 。
前方，那宝物即将出世的异兆越发的耀眼夺目，看来，这次主人点名要要的困仙环法宝，应该是不会出什么差错，炼制成功了。
For mere mortals, this distance seemed like an impenetrable barrier, but for Lin Xuan’s level, it was nothing to worry about. With his full speed, crossing this distance would take only an instant.
yuán běn ， zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， tā yīng gāi shì mǎn xīn huān xǐ ， yīn wèi shùn lì liàn chéng le bǎo wù ， tā men jǐ gè ， lùn gōng xíng shǎng ， yě huì yǒu bù xiǎo de gōng láo ， ér zhǔ shàng chū shǒu yí xiàng háo kuò ， zhè tàng jiǎng lì ， bì jìng néng ràng tā men zhuàn gè pén mǎn tǐ mǎn de 。
原本，这样的结果，他应该是满心欢喜，因为顺利炼成了宝物，他们几个，论功行赏，也会有不小的功劳，而主上出手一向豪阔，这趟奖励，毕竟能让他们赚个盆满体满的。
The green light wasn’t from his companions.
cóng zhè ge jiǎo dù ， tā yīng gāi gāo xìng huān xǐ 。
从这个角度，他应该高兴欢喜。
The scholar in silk robes was alarmed. Could his older brother and younger sister have all perished?
rán ér xiàn zài què qián qíng shì wēi jí ！
然而现在却前情势危急！
His worst fears were realized.
bǎo wù shì yào chū shì méi cuò ， kě què mò míng qí miào de lái le yí gè qiáng dí 。
宝物是要出世没错，可却莫名其妙的来了一个强敌。
Misfortune often finds the unwary. Although he had some foreboding about such a scenario, seeing it unfold made him look pale. The worst-case scenario was exactly this!
dà rén yǐ jīng yǔn luò ， wǔ mèi tā men zhǐ hǎo yìng zhe tóu pí qián qù yíng dí 。
大人已经陨落，五妹他们只好硬着头皮前去迎敌。
What should he do now? He faced a choice.
suī rán wǔ mèi de tuī cè shì yǒu yí dìng dào lǐ 。
虽然五妹的推测是有一定道理。
After a brief moment of thought, the scholar in silk robes no longer hesitated. With his superior dead and his younger sister leading the charge, their fate was sealed.
dàn tuī cè bì jìng zhǐ shì tuī cè ！
但推测毕竟只是推测！
The newcomer was clearly not on their level. Staying here would only lead to certain death.
píng xīn lái shuō ， jǐn yī shū shēng shì bìng bù zěn me kàn hǎo de 。
平心来说，锦衣书生是并不怎么看好的。
Escaping had a chance. Although their lord wouldn’t spare him, he couldn’t afford to think too much in this situation. Even ants try to survive; every moment counts.
cǐ xíng shuō jiǔ sǐ yì shēng yě bù wèi guò 。
此行说九死一生也不为过。
With his mind made up, he emitted black light and transformed into a dark wind, fleeing at top speed in the opposite direction.
rú guǒ wǔ mèi tā men yǔn luò ， duì fāng huì bú huì lái zhè lǐ ne ？
如果五妹他们陨落，对方会不会来这里呢？
His reaction was swift. Just a few moments later, the green streak of light arrived on the mountain.
jǐn yī shū shēng bù xiǎo de ， xīn zhōng tǎn tè ， yě jiù nán guài tā zuò lì bù ān le 。
锦衣书生不晓得，心中忐忑，也就难怪他坐立不安了。
Closer inspection revealed the sign’s grandeur. However, Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he gazed ahead.
yuán běn xīn zhōng yǐ shì bù ān yǐ jí ， nǎ xiǎo de ， wū lòu piān féng lián yè yǔ ， nà kùn xiān huán jí jiāng chū shì de yì zhào yuè fā de xǐng mù wú bǐ 。
原本心中已是不安以极，哪晓得，屋漏偏逢连夜雨，那困仙环即将出世的异兆越发的醒目无比。
"Still one escaped!"
dāng rán ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng tā men yuán xiān jiù yǒu yù jì ， zài zhè fù jìn yě bù xià le yī xiē yǐn nì qián cáng de zhèn fǎ ， mù dì jiù shì jiāng yì zhào zhē yǎn zhù 。
当然，这种情况他们原先就有预计，在这附近也布下了一些隐匿潜藏的阵法，目的就是将异兆遮掩住。
Lin Xuan smirked and several pale silver灵光 shot out from his sleeves.
Surprised, the woman turned her head to look behind.
It was generally foolish for someone to be distracted by a powerful enemy. This woman knew this simple truth, but she was too amazed at the moment. Her action of turning around was purely instinctive.
Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, such an action naturally exposed her vulnerability.
