xiǎng yào dù guò wēi jī ， guī gēn jié dǐ ， hái shì yào kào zì yǐ de nǔ lì 。
想要度过危机，归根结底，还是要靠自已的努力。
To overcome the crisis, it ultimately came down to his own efforts.
lín xuān xī le kǒu qì ， nǔ lì ràng zì jǐ jǐn zhāng de xīn qíng píng fù xià qù 。
林轩吸了口气，努力让自己紧张的心情平复下去。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and tried to calm his nervousness.
yǎn qián shì hěn wēi xiǎn méi cuò ， dàn zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， zì jǐ suǒ jīng lì guò de jiān nán xiǎn zǔ nán dào hái shǎo me ， yǐ qián kě yǐ huà xiǎn wéi yí ， zhè yī cì ， lín xuān xiāng xìn zì jǐ ， tóng yàng huì yǒu néng lì dù guò wēi jī 。
眼前是很危险没错，但自从踏上修仙之路，自己所经历过的艰难险阻难道还少么，以前可以化险为夷，这一次，林轩相信自己，同样会有能力度过危机。
The situation was indeed perilous, but since he had embarked on the path of cultivation, hadn't he faced countless hardships? He could turn danger into safety before. This time, Lin Xuan believed in himself; he would have the ability to overcome this crisis as well.
yí dìng yào jìn jiē dào dù jié qī ， yuè ér ， qín xīn ， yuàn yuàn tā men hái zài yuǎn fāng děng dài zhe zì jǐ 。
一定要进阶到渡劫期，月儿，琴心，媛媛她们还在远方等待着自己。
He must advance to the Tribulation Transcending Stage. Moon, Qinxin, and Yuanyuan were still waiting for him far away.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān de yǎn shén biàn dé jiān dìng wú bǐ ， xiù páo yī fú ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zài cì yú yóu ér chū ， suí hòu biàn jiàn tā shuāng shǒu shàng xià fēi wǔ ， yī dào dào fǎ jué yóu zhǐ jiān 〖 jī 〗shè。
想到这里，林轩的眼神变得坚定无比，袖袍一拂，九宫须臾剑再次鱼游而出，随后便见他双手上下飞舞，一道道法诀由指尖〖激〗shè。
With that thought, his eyes became resolute. He waved his sleeves, and the Nine Palace Swift Sword reappeared like a fish swimming out. Then he saw his hands moving up and down, casting spell after spell from his fingertips.
sōu sōu shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn lì máng dà zuò ， rán ér shǎn yào piàn kè ， nà líng máng què yòu biàn dé àn dàn qǐ lái le 。
嗖嗖声传入耳朵，九宫须臾剑厉芒大做，然而闪耀片刻，那灵芒却又变得暗淡起来了。
Swooshing sounds entered his ears as the Nine Palace Swift Sword emitted intense light. However, that light soon dimmed before slowly vanishing. In its place appeared countless thin and long sword threads in his vision.
suí hòu màn màn xiāo shī dì liǎng qiān jiǔ bǎi bā shí zhāng kǔ zhàn ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī tiáo tiáo yòu xì yòu cháng de jiàn sī chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
随后慢慢消失第两千九百八十章 苦战，取而代之的是一条条又细又长的剑丝出现在了视线里。
Transforming swords into threads!
huà jiàn wèi sī ！
化剑为丝！
While not a particularly remarkable secret technique, Lin Xuan had considerable experience with it. After all, he learned it from Fairy Hundred Flowers, enough to increase the power of the Nine Palace Swift Sword beyond its original capacity.
suàn bù shàng rú hé liǎo bù qǐ de mì shù ， dàn lín xuān shī zhǎn qǐ lái yě pǒ yǒu xīn dé ， bì jìng shì xué zì bǎi huā xiān zi ， zú yǐ ràng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de wēi lì ， zài yuán yǒu de jī chǔ shàng ， zài zēng jiā yī xiē 。
算不上如何了不起的秘术，但林轩施展起来也颇有心得，毕竟是学自百huā仙子，足以让九宫须臾剑的威力，在原有的基础上，再增加一些。
"Quickly!"
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
Lin Xuan muttered and raised his right hand, pointing at the front with a finger that was slow on the surface but quick in reality.
lín xuān kǒu zhōng qīng chì ， tóng shí yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī zhǐ shì huǎn shí jí ， xiàng zhe qián fāng diǎn qù 。
林轩口中轻叱，同时右手抬起，一指似缓实急，向着前方点去。
Swooshing sounds filled his ears as countless sword threads pierced through the air, interweaving and entangling. In an instant, a giant net made of sword threads appeared before his eyes.
sōu sōu de pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， wàn qiān jiàn sī chuān kōng ér guò ， hù xiāng jiāo chán jiū gé ， jǐn jǐn shùn xī de gōng fu ， yī zhāng yóu jiàn sī níng jié ér chéng de jù wǎng jiù chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
嗖嗖的破空声传入耳朵，万千剑丝穿空而过，互相交缠纠葛，仅仅瞬息的功夫，一张由剑丝凝结而成的巨网就出现在了视线里。
The number of sword threads was immense, making the area of this net enormous. It seemed to have a life of its own, covering over those nine fierce birds from above.
jiàn sī shù liàng jí duō ， zhè zhāng wǎng de miàn jī yě jiù dà dé lí pǔ 。
剑丝数量极多，这张网的面积也就大得离谱。
If there were other cultivators nearby, they would be stunned. Transforming swords into threads wasn't particularly remarkable, but who had ever seen it used like that?
qiě rú yǒu líng xìng yì bān ， xiàng zhe nà jiǔ tóu xiōng qín dāng tóu zhào guò qù le 。
且如有灵xìng一般，像着那九头凶禽当头罩过去了。
The strange bird seemed startled as well. With a flap of its wings, a whirlwind of wind swept the area. More terrifyingly, piercing sounds came from the white mist, followed by hundreds of differently sized wind blades.
ruò shì páng biān hái yǒu bié de xiū xiān zhě ， fēi chēng mù jié shé ， huà jiàn wèi sī suàn bù shàng shén me liǎo bù qǐ de mì shù ， rán ér nǎ lǐ jiàn guò yǒu rén zhè me yòng de 。
若是旁边还有别的修仙者，非瞠目结舌，化剑为丝算不上什么了不起的秘术，然而哪里见过有人这么用的。
These wind blades varied in size, with even the smallest being over ten feet long and emitting glaring white light. They were clearly different from ordinary cultivators' wind blade techniques.
nà guài niǎo sì hū yě chī le yī jīng ， chì bǎng yī shàn ， shà shí jiān kuáng fēng liú juǎn gèng wéi kě pà de shì ， yóu nà bái méng méng de jù fēng zhōng chuán chū le pò kōng zhī shēng èr suí hòu biàn jiàn shù bǎi dào zhí jìng bù yī de fēng rèn 。
那怪鸟似乎也吃了一惊，翅膀一扇，霎时间狂风流卷更为可怕的是，由那白濛濛的飓风中传出了破空之声二随后便见数百道直径不一的风刃。
Their target was naturally the giant net made of sword threads, trying to cut through it.
zhè xiē fēng rèn dà xiǎo bù yī ， dàn zuì bù qǐ yǎn de yě yǒu zhàng xǔ ， qiě biǎo miàn bái guāng yào mù yǐ jí ， yī kàn jiù yǔ pǔ tōng xiū shì shī zhǎn chū lái de fēng rèn shù jiǒng dì liǎng qiān jiǔ bǎi bā shí zhāng kǔ zhàn yì 。
这些风刃大小不一，但最不起眼的也有丈许，且表面白光耀目以极，一看就与普通修士施展出来的风刃术迥第两千九百八十章 苦战异。
Soon, clattering sounds filled his ears as all the wind blades were repelled.
tā de mù biāo zì rán shì nà jiàn sī suǒ huà de dà wǎng xiǎng yào jiāng qí qiè pò 。
它的目标自然是那剑丝所化的大网想要将其切破。
Pfft, these sword threads had transformed from the Nine Palace Swift Sword and were Lin Xuan's life-bound treasure. They wouldn't be easily destroyed despite the countless precious treasures he spent on them.
hěn kuài ” dīng ， dīng dāng dāng de zhuàng jī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suǒ yǒu de fēng rèn dōu bèi dàn kāi le 。
很快”丁，丁当当的撞击声传入耳朵，所有的风刃都被弹开了。
The opponent's idea was good, but they underestimated him too much.
kāi wán xiào ， zhè xiē jiàn sī kě shì yóu jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn biàn huà ér chéng de ， nǎi shì lín xuān de běn mìng bǎo wù ，huā fèi le qí zhēn yì bǎo wú shù ， nǎ ér shì nà me qīng yì jiù néng pò chú 。
开玩笑，这些剑丝可是由九宫须臾剑变化而成的，乃是林轩的本命宝物，huā费了奇珍异宝无数，哪儿是那么轻易就能破除。
Of course, saying it had no effect would be an exaggeration. At least, the speed at which the giant net fell was slightly impeded.
duì fāng xiǎng fǎ bù cuò ， rán ér yě wèi miǎn tài jiāng zì jǐ xiǎo kàn le 。
对方想法不错，然而也未免太将自己小看了。
But Lin Xuan wasn't concerned about that. He took a deep breath and poured all his magical power into the Nine Palace Swift Sword.
dāng rán yào shuō yì diǎn zuò yòng yě wú ， nà yě yán guò qí shí ， zhì shǎo jù wǎng là xià de sù dù ， bèi shāo wēi zǔ shàng le yī zǔ 。
当然要说一点作用也无，那也言过其实，至少巨网落下的速度，被稍微阻上了一阻。
"Quack!"
dàn zhè yì diǎn ， lín xuān bìng bù zài yì ， tā shēn shēn hū xī ， jiāng hún shēn de fǎ lì ， háo wú bǎo liú de zhù rù le jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn lǐ 。
但这一点，林轩并不在意，他深深呼吸，将浑身的法力，毫无保留的注入了九宫须臾剑里。
An annoying sound entered his ears as he raised his head to see the nine fierce birds' faces filled with coldness. Then, several of their sharp claws lightly grabbed at the void.
lìng rén guā zào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lín xuān tái qǐ tóu lú ， biàn jiàn nà jiǔ tóu xiōng qín de liǎn shàng mǎn shì yīn hán zhī sè， suí hòu zhǐ jiàn tā jǐ zhī lì zhuǎ cháo zhe xū kōng qīng qīng yī zhuā 。
令人聒噪的声音传入耳朵林轩抬起头颅，便见那九头凶禽的脸上满是yīn寒之sè，随后只见它几只利爪朝着虚空轻轻一抓。
A pair of green claws suddenly appeared in mid-air, over a hundred feet long and seemingly made of steel. They swooped down like lightning, grabbing both ends of the giant net.
cī lā …
刺啦…
The sharpness of the Nine Palace Swift Sword was well-known, but it couldn't do much against those claws for now.
bàn kōng zhōng dùn shí fú xiàn chū yī duì qīng sè de jù zhǎo 。
半空中顿时浮现出一对青sè的巨爪。
Then, a sinister expression flashed across the bird's face as a divine念 emerged. The claws tried to tear apart the sword net with force, seemingly wanting to destroy it completely.
zhǎng bǎi zhàng yǒu yú ， fǎng fú shì yòng jīng gāng zhù zào ér chéng dì ， shǎn diàn bān xiàng xià lāo qù ， yī xià jiù jiāng jù wǎng de liǎng duān zhuā zài le zhuǎ zi lǐ 。
长百丈有余，仿佛是用jīng钢铸造而成地，闪电般向下捞去，一下就将巨网的两端抓在了爪子里。
Creaking sounds filled his ears, and Lin Xuan felt more than alarmed.
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de fēng lì bù yòng tí ， rán ér yī shí piàn kè jū rán ná nà jù zhǎo wú kě nài hé 。
九宫须臾剑的锋利不用提，然而一时片刻居然拿那巨爪无可奈何。
Indeed, just as he had predicted, this strange bird wasn't merely formed by tribulation clouds mixed with primordial energy; it seemed to have a high degree of intelligence.
suí hòu biàn jiàn nà guài niǎo de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī níng sè， yī dào shén niàn fā chū ， nà jù zhǎo cháo zhe liǎng biān yòng lì ， sì hū xiǎng yào jiāng jiàn wǎng shēng shēng de huǐ qù 。
随后便见那怪鸟的脸上闪过一丝狞sè，一道神念发出，那巨爪朝着两边用力，似乎想要将剑网生生的毁去。
If the previous was speculation, at this moment, Lin Xuan could almost be certain that the fierce bird in front of him had some connection to the legendary nine-headed bird.
gē zhī gē zhī de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng gèng chōng mǎn le hài rán zhī sè。
咯吱咯吱的声音传入耳朵，林轩心中更充满了骇然之sè。
Overcoming this crisis would indeed not be easy.
guǒ rán rú zì jǐ de yù jì zhè guài niǎo jué bú shì pǔ tōng jié yún yǔ tiān dì yuán qì hùn hé xíng chéng dì ， tā jìng shì yǒu jí gāo de líng zhì 。
果然如自己的预计这怪鸟绝不是普通劫云与天地元气混合形成地，它竟似有极高的灵智。
Lin Xuan sighed but heard tearing sounds enter his ears.
rú guǒ shuō gāng gāng shì chuǎi mó ， cǐ shí cǐ kè lín xuān què jī hū kě yǐ kěn dìng ， yǎn qián de xiōng qín jué duì yǔ chuán shuō zhōng de jiǔ tóu niǎo yǒu qiān sī wàn lǚ de lián xì 。
如果说刚刚是揣摩，此时此刻林轩却几乎可以肯定，眼前的凶禽绝对与传说中的九头鸟有千丝万缕的联系。
Could it…
yǎn qián de wēi jī ， xiǎng yào dù guò ， hái zhēn bù róng yì 。
眼前的危机，想要度过，还真不容易。
He raised his head in surprise and saw the giant net transformed by the Nine Palace Swift Sword truly torn apart.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， què tīng jiàn sī liè shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ 。
林轩叹了口气，却听见撕裂声传入耳里。
Accursed, even his life-bound treasure couldn't withstand it. How powerful was this guy?
nán dào …
难道…
Lin Xuan was shocked as he saw the two greenish-gray claws move slightly. Instantly, intense light shot out from them, countless emerald-green claw rays shooting towards him.
lín xuān yǒu xiē jīng è de tái qǐ tóu lú ， què lóu xiàn jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn suǒ huàn huà de jù wǎng dàng zhēn bèi yī sī ér pò 。
林轩有些惊愕的抬起头颅，却娄现九宫须臾剑所幻化的巨网当真被一撕而破。
The speed was so fast that Lin Xuan didn't have time to dodge. However, his face showed no signs of panic. The Spirit Cauldron appeared before him, capable of instantly casting ancient powerful spells.
kě wù ， lián zì jǐ de běn mìng fǎ bǎo yě dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， zhè jiā huo yǒu zhè me lì hài me ？
可恶，连自己的本命法宝也抵挡不住，这家伙有这么厉害么？
Lin Xuan raised his right hand and pointed at the front.
lín xuān hài rán bù yǐ ， què jiàn nà liǎng zhǐ qīng huī sè de jù zhǎo wēi wēi yī dòng ， shà shí jiān ， lì máng dà zuò ， wú shù cuì lǜ zhǎo máng mì mì má má de xiàng zhe zì jǐ 〖 jī 〗shè guò lái le 。
林轩骇然不已，却见那两只青灰sè的巨爪微微一动，霎时间，厉芒大做，无数翠绿爪芒密密麻麻的向着自己〖激〗shè过来了。
A blue glow flashed as a vast aura emerged. A thick water curtain enveloped Lin Xuan's entire body in front of him.
sù dù zhī kuài ， lín xuān gēn běn jiù lái bù jí duǒ ， rán ér tā liǎn shàng bìng méi yǒu duō shǎo huāng zhāng zhī sè， líng jué dǐng zài shēn qián fú xiàn ér chū ， zhè jiàn fǎ bǎo kě shì néng gòu shùn fā shàng gǔ dà wēi lì fǎ shù 。
速度之快，林轩根本就来不及躲，然而他脸上并没有多少慌张之sè，灵诀鼎在身前浮现而出，这件法宝可是能够瞬发上古大威力法术。
In the next moment, countless claw rays fiercely struck it. In an instant, patches of green light exploded on its surface, like raindrops hitting banana leaves, making loud cracking sounds. Although the blue water curtain was formidable, it violently wavered and showed signs of strain.
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī zhǐ cháo zhe qián fāng diǎn qù 。
林轩右手抬起，一指朝着前方点去。
Lin Xuan's eyebrows furrowed as these emerald-green claw rays were far more powerful than he had anticipated. There was no time to consider now.
lán máng shǎn guò ， yī gǔ fǎng fú dà hǎi bān de qì xī fú xiàn ér chū ， lín xuān shēn qián ， yǐ chū xiàn le yī céng níng hòu yì cháng de shuǐ mù ， jiāng tā quán shēn shàng xià bāo guǒ 。
蓝芒闪过，一股仿佛大海般的气息浮现而出，林轩身前，已出现了一层凝厚异常的水幕，将他全身上下包裹。
In the next moment, the water curtain broke like a bubble.
xià yī kè ， wú shù zhǎo máng hěn hěn zhā shàng qù le 。
下一刻，无数爪芒狠狠扎上去了。
Lin Xuan sighed, no longer hesitating. He recited a spell and pressed his hand towards the treasure before him.
shùn jiān ， yī tuán tuán dà xiǎo bù yī de qīng máng zài qí biǎo miàn bào kāi ， rú yǔ dǎ jiāo hé ， pī lǐ pā lā de shēng yīn zhòu rán dà zuò ， wèi lán shuǐ mù de fáng yù lì suī rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn yě jù liè dàng yàng huàng dòng qǐ lái le 。
瞬间，一团团大小不一的青芒在其表面爆开，如雨打蕉荷，噼里啪啦的声音骤然大做，蔚蓝水幕的防御力虽然非同小可，但也剧烈荡漾晃动起来了。
Although this treasure wasn't an innate object, its defensive power among postnatal treasures should be top-notch.
bìng mǎ shàng chéng xiàn chū bù zhī de yàng zi 。
并马上呈现出不支的样子。
With all his magical power poured in, the inkstone began to spin rapidly. A scent of ink filled the air as black mist enveloped Lin Xuan.
lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， zhè xiē cuì lǜ zhǎo máng de wēi lì ， hái zhēn shì yuǎn yuǎn chāo guò le zì jǐ de yù qī ， bù guò xiàn zài yǐ méi yǒu shí jiān duō zuò kǎo lǜ 。
林轩眉头一挑，这些翠绿爪芒的威力，还真是远远超过了自己的预期，不过现在已没有时间多做考虑。
The blue water curtain was just a spell and couldn't match the durability of the treasure before him in terms of defense.
xià yī kè ， nà shuǐ mù jiù rú qì pào yì bān de pò miè diào 。
下一刻，那水幕就如气泡一般的破灭掉。
The entire process happened quickly. The blue water curtain broke like a bubble. However, many claw rays were consumed, and the remaining ones still struck the Azure Turtle True Spirit Inkstone with great force.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， zài yě gù bù shàng chí yí ， kǒu zhōng mò sòng zhòu yǔ ， yī zhī shǒu yǐ xiàng shēn qián de fǎ bǎo àn le guò qù 。
林轩叹了口气，再也顾不上迟疑，口中默诵咒语，一只手已像身前的法宝按了过去。
Black mist surged, but this time, it didn't destroy Lin Xuan's treasure. Despite the twists and turns, he finally turned danger into safety.
cǐ bǎo suī fēi xiān tiān zhī wù ， dàn zài hòu tiān líng bǎo zhōng ， fáng yù lì yīng gāi yě suàn dǐng jiān le 。
此宝虽非先天之物，但在后天灵宝中，防御力应该也算顶尖了。
Anger flashed across the nine-headed bird's face as this little guy was much more troublesome than expected. However, just when all its attention was focused on Lin Xuan, the torn net silently floated in front of it.
suí zhe lín xuān fǎ lì háo bù bǎo liú de zhù rù ， cǐ yàn tāi yǐ jí kuài de sù dù zhuǎn dòng qǐ lái ， tóng shí yī gǔ mò xiāng chōng chì kāi ， hēi sè de wù qì jiāng lín xuān bāo guǒ zài lǐ miàn 。
随着林轩法力毫不保留的注入，此砚台以极快的速度转动起来，同时一股墨香充斥开，黑sè的雾气将林轩包裹在里面。
Sss…
wèi lán shuǐ mù bì jìng zhǐ shì yī dào fǎ shù ， ruò zhēn lùn fáng yù de jiān rèn chéng dù ， kěn dìng hái shì yǎn qián de bǎo bèi gèng shèng yī chóu 。
蔚蓝水幕毕竟只是一道法术，若真论防御的坚韧程度，肯定还是眼前的宝贝更胜一筹。
The already broken net suddenly melted away, and intense light shone as countless sword threads rolled out.
zhěng gè guò chéng tù qǐ hú luò ， suí hòu biàn jiàn nà wèi lán shuǐ mù rú qì pào yì bān de pò miè diào le ， bù guò zhǎo máng yě bèi xiāo hào le xǔ duō ， cán yú de què yú shì bù xiē ， hěn hěn de jī dǎ zài nà xuán wǔ zhēn líng yàn de biǎo miàn le 。
整个过程兔起鹘落，随后便见那蔚蓝水幕如气泡一般的破灭掉了，不过爪芒也被消耗了许多，残余的却余势不歇，狠狠的击打在那玄武真灵砚的表面了。
In an instant, hundreds of sword threads appeared, vividly colorful.
hēi qì fān yǒng ， dàn zhè yī cì ， bìng méi yǒu néng cuī huǐ lín xuān de bǎo wù ， zhěng gè guò chéng suī rán qū zhé ， dàn lín xuān zǒng suàn shì huà xiǎn wéi yí diào le 。
黑气翻涌，但这一次，并没有能摧毁林轩的宝物，整个过程虽然曲折，但林轩总算是化险为夷掉了。
"Break!"
jiǔ tóu guài niǎo de liǎn shàng liú lù chū yī sī fèn nù ， zhè xiǎo jiā huo bǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào nán chán dé duō ， rán ér jiù zài tā jiāng zhù yì lì quán bù jí zhōng zài lín xuān shēn shàng de shí hòu ， nà zhāng bèi chě pò de dà wǎng què wú shēng wú xī de piāo dào tā de shēn qián le 。
九头怪鸟的脸上流露出一丝愤怒，这小家伙比想象的还要难缠得多，然而就在它将注意力全部集中在林轩身上的时候，那张被扯破的大网却无声无息的飘到它的身前了。
Lin Xuan raised his right hand and pointed at the front.
cì …
刺…
Instantly, the myriad sword threads interwove and pierced through the air, cutting towards the opponent.!!!
To overcome the crisis, it ultimately came down to his own efforts.
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and tried to calm his nervousness.
The situation was indeed perilous, but since he had embarked on the path of cultivation, hadn't he faced countless hardships? He could turn danger into safety before. This time, Lin Xuan believed in himself; he would have the ability to overcome this crisis as well.
He must advance to the Tribulation Transcending Stage. Moon, Qinxin, and Yuanyuan were still waiting for him far away.
With that thought, his eyes became resolute. He waved his sleeves, and the Nine Palace Swift Sword reappeared like a fish swimming out. Then he saw his hands moving up and down, casting spell after spell from his fingertips.
Swooshing sounds entered his ears as the Nine Palace Swift Sword emitted intense light. However, that light soon dimmed before slowly vanishing. In its place appeared countless thin and long sword threads in his vision.

Black mist surged, but this time, it didn't destroy Lin Xuan's treasure. Despite the twists and turns, he finally turned danger into safety.
Anger flashed across the nine-headed bird's face as this little guy was much more troublesome than expected. However, just when all its attention was focused on Lin Xuan, the torn net silently floated in front of it.
Sss…
The already broken net suddenly melted away, and intense light shone as countless sword threads rolled out.
In an instant, hundreds of sword threads appeared, vividly colorful.
"Break!"
Lin Xuan raised his right hand and pointed at the front.
Instantly, the myriad sword threads interwove and pierced through the air, cutting towards the opponent.!!!
