bsp; wēi xiǎn yào è shā zài méng yá lǐ ， bǎo shé yǐ dǎ dìng zhǔ yì ， wú lùn rú hé ， yě yào jiāng lín xuān miè shā yú zhè lǐ 。
bsp; 危险要扼杀在萌芽里，宝蛇已打定主意，无论如何，也要将林轩灭杀于这里。
The danger had to be snuffed out in its infancy. The Treasure Snake was determined; no matter what, she would eliminate Lin Xuan here.
miàn duì màn tiān de jiàn guāng fēn luò rú yǔ ， tā zì rán bú huì tuì bì 。
面对漫天的剑光纷落如雨，她自然不会退避。
Facing the falling sword lights like rain, she naturally did not retreat.
yù shǒu yī fú ， yǒu hēi de mó qì fēng yōng ér chū ， huàn huà chū yī céng níng hòu de guāng mù ， jiāng tā de jiāo qū bāo guǒ 。
玉手一拂，黝黑的魔气蜂拥而出，幻化出一层凝厚的光幕，将她的娇躯包裹。
With a flick of her jade hand, dark demonic energy surged forth and transformed into a thick layer of light curtain, enveloping her delicate figure.
wàn qiān jiàn guāng zhǎn luò 。
万千剑光斩落。
A myriad of sword lights descended.
dīng dīng dāng dāng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， měi yī dào jiàn guāng suī líng lì dào jí chù ， què wú fǎ qīng yì jiāng tā de fáng yù pò chú 。
叮叮当当的声音传入耳朵，每一道剑光虽凌厉到极处，却无法轻易将她的防御破除。
The clinking sounds entered his ears. Although each sword light was extremely sharp, they could not easily penetrate her defenses.
zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， guǒ rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， měi yí gè rén de shén tōng ， dōu yǒu qí dú dào zhī chù 。
真魔始祖，果然非同小可，每一个人的神通，都有其独到之处。
True Demon Ancestor, indeed, was no small matter; everyone's divine techniques had their unique aspects.
rán ér jǐn jǐn fáng yù shì bù gòu de ， bǎo shé de yǎn zhōng ， yǐn yǐn yǒu lì máng shǎn guò ， yù shǒu yī fú ， zài cì zuò le yí gè qiā jué de dòng zuò 。
然而仅仅防御是不够的，宝蛇的眼中，隐隐有厉芒闪过，玉手一拂，再次做了一个掐诀的动作。
However, mere defense was insufficient. A fierce glint flashed in the Treasure Snake’s eyes as she flicked her hand again and made a sealing gesture.
yí gè guāng qiú zài tā de zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng fú xiàn ér chū 。
一个光球在她的掌心之中浮现而出。
A light ball appeared in her palm.
bù guò yǔ jī dàn dà xiǎo xiāng chà fǎng fú ， rán ér què wǔ sè bān lán ， yàn lì dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù
不过与鸡蛋大小相差仿佛，然而却五sè斑斓，艳丽到无以复加的地步
Though it resembled an egg in size, its colors were vividly diverse, so dazzling that they could not be described further.
bǎo shé yī shēng qīng hē ， dān shǒu jiāng cǐ guāng qiú tuī chū qù le 。
宝蛇一声轻喝，单手将此光球推出去了。
The Treasure Snake whispered softly. With one hand, she pushed the light ball out.
“ zhè shì shén me zhāo shù ？”
“这是什么招数？”
"What technique is this?"
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， zài nà yī kè ， xīn zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu yī sī wēi xiǎn de gǎn jué shǎn guò ， dàn jù tǐ shì shén me ， què yòu shuō bù qīng chǔ ， nà guāng qiú de lái shì ， tài guò xùn sù ， jī hū yī zhǎ yǎn ， jiù lái dào jiàn guāng zuì wèi mì jí de suǒ zài le 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，在那一刻，心中隐隐有一丝危险的感觉闪过，但具体是什么，却又说不清楚，那光球的来势，太过迅速，几乎一眨眼，就来到剑光最为密集的所在了。
Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted as he felt a hint of danger flash through his mind at that moment, though he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was. The light ball moved too swiftly; before he could change his tactics, it had already reached the densest part of the sword lights.
nán dào shuō ……
难道说……
Could it be...
lín xuān jiāng zhè yī guò chéng mù dǔ ， xīn zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu le yì diǎn chuǎi mó ， dàn zhè shí hòu xiǎng yào biàn zhāo ， yǐ lái bù jí le 。
林轩将这一过程目睹，心中隐隐有了一点揣摩，但这时候想要变招，已来不及了。
Watching this process, Lin Xuan’s thoughts began to form a hypothesis, but by then, it was too late to change his strategy.
nà guāng qiú bào kāi ， rán ér què bú jiàn léi huǒ ， fǎn ér cóng qí zhōng mào chū wǔ sè bān lán de yún wù 。
那光球爆开，然而却不见雷火，反而从其中冒出五sè斑斓的云雾。
The light ball exploded. However, no lightning or fire appeared; instead, colorful mist emerged from within.
nà wù qì nián chóu yǐ jí ， yī xià zi jiù cháo zhe jiàn guāng fù zhuó le shàng qù 。
那雾气黏稠以极，一下子就朝着剑光附着了上去。
This mist was extremely sticky and instantly adhered to the sword lights.
tóng shí sàn fà chū yī gǔ lìng rén wén zhī yù ǒu de gǔ guài qì xī ， fēi cháng cì bí 。
同时散发出一股令人闻之yù呕的古怪气息，非常刺鼻。
At the same time, it emitted an odor so repulsive that it made one want to vomit, very pungent.
“ guǒ rán ……”
“果然……”
"Indeed..."
lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ ， jiàn guāng yī bèi nà gǔ guài de yún wù bāo guǒ ， yī xià zi biàn dé àn dàn le xǔ duō ， shèn zhì lián jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yǔ zì jǐ jiān de xīn shén lián xì ， yě bèi xuē ruò 。
林轩喃喃自语，剑光一被那古怪的云雾包裹，一下子变得暗淡了许多，甚至连九宫须臾剑与自己间的心神联系，也被削弱。
Lin Xuan murmured. The sword lights dimmed significantly once enveloped by this strange mist, even weakening his connection with the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword.
chuán shuō shì zhēn de ， yī xiē mó gōng néng gòu fǔ shí xiū shì de běn mìng bǎo wù ， duì fāng chū shǒu hái zhēn shì yīn dú ， zhè yàng de zhāo shù 。 huàn zuò yì bān de xiū xiān zhě 。 kǒng pà zhǐ yǒu pí yú yìng fù 。
传说是真的，一些魔功能够腐蚀修士的本命宝物，对方出手还真是yīn毒，这样的招数。换做一般的修仙者。恐怕只有疲于应付。
The legend was true; some demonic abilities could corrupt a cultivator’s essence treasures. The opponent’s move was indeed vicious. Such techniques would likely leave ordinary cultivators struggling to defend.
yí dàn běn mìng fǎ bǎo bèi huǐ ， xīn shén qiān chě xià ， lí yǔn luò yě jiù bù yuǎn le 。
一旦本命法宝被毁，心神牵扯下，离陨落也就不远了。
Once an essence treasure was destroyed, the mental strain would bring one closer to demise.
bǎo shé de rú yì suàn pán dǎ dé bù cuò ， kě xī zài zì jǐ miàn qián shì bān mén nòng fǔ 。
宝蛇的如意算盘打得不错，可惜在自己面前是班门弄斧。
The Treasure Snake had planned well, but in front of him, it was like displaying her skills before a master.
jiàn jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn bèi wū zhuó ， lín xuān liǎn shàng què bú jiàn bàn diǎn dān xīn zhī sè， shuāng shǒu yī wò ， cī lā shēng dà zuò 。 mò hēi sè de shǎn diàn yóu jiān rèn biǎo miàn fú xiàn ér chū 。
见九宫须臾剑被污浊，林轩脸上却不见半点担心之sè，双手一握，刺啦声大做。墨黑sè的闪电由坚韧表面浮现而出。
Seeing the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword tainted, Lin Xuan showed no signs of worry. He clenched his hands, and crackling sounds filled the air as black lightning emerged from the resilient surface.
huàn yīn shén léi yǒu zhe tóng yàng de xiào guǒ ， zhè kě shì ā xiū luó wáng de ná shǒu mì shù ， lín xuān lái le zhāo yǐ dú gōng dú 。
幻yīn神雷有着同样的效果，这可是阿修罗王的拿手秘术，林轩来了招以毒攻毒。
The Illusory Yin Divine Thunder had the same effect; this was A Shura King’s secret technique. Lin Xuan employed a strategy to counter poison with poison.
nà wǔ sè bān lán de dú wù ， xùn sù bèi mò hēi sè de shǎn diàn bāo guǒ ， tūn mò xiāo róng diào le 。
那五sè斑斓的毒雾，迅速被墨黑sè的闪电包裹，吞没消融掉了。
That colorful mist was swiftly enveloped by the black lightning, dissolving into nothingness.
“ huàn yīn shén léi ！”
“幻yīn神雷！”
"Illusory Yin Divine Thunder!"
bǎo shé liǎn shàng liú lù chū yī sī bù kě sī yì zhī sè。
宝蛇脸上流露出一丝不可思议之sè。
A look of disbelief appeared on the Treasure Snake's face as she struggled to lift her heavy-looking magic axe with one hand despite her slender frame. Her pure demonic energy spewed from her mouth.
liǎn sè nán kàn xià zài cì shuāng shǒu yī wǔ ， yù shǒu fān zhuǎn jiān 。 yī bǐng wū hēi mó fǔ fú xiàn ér chū 。
脸sè难看下再次双手一舞，玉手翻转间。一柄乌黑魔斧浮现而出。
Crack!
nà jù fǔ zhǎng shù zhàng yǒu yú ， kàn shàng qù chén zhòng wú bǐ ， ér bǎo shé shēn cái miáo tiáo xiān xì ， yī fù ruò bù jīn fēng de yàng zi ， kě tā dān shǒu līn zhe cǐ bǎo ， jìng shì qīng sōng qiè yì ， yì diǎn yě bú jiàn chī lì 。
那巨斧长数丈有余，看上去沉重无比，而宝蛇身材苗条纤细，一副弱不禁风的样子，可她单手拎着此宝，竟似轻松惬意，一点也不见吃力。
The giant axe absorbed the demonic energy, and intricate patterns emerged on its surface, emitting a heart-stirring法则 power. With a raised right hand, she swung the axe down forcefully.
suí hòu tán kǒu wēi qǐ ，jīng chún yì cháng de mó qì yóu zuǐ zhōng pēn tǔ chū qù 。
随后檀口微启，jīng纯异常的魔气由嘴中喷吐出去。
Silent yet powerful.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
A force capable of splitting heaven and earth emanated from the axe’s surface.
nà jù fǔ xī shōu le mó qì 。 biǎo miàn wú shù fán fù yì cháng de wén zhèn fú xiàn ér qǐ 。 sàn fà chū lìng rén xīn jì de fǎ zé zhī lì ， suí hòu cǐ nǚ yòu shǒu tái qǐ 。 jiāng cǐ fǔ cháo zhe xià fāng hěn hěn huī là xià qù 。
那巨斧吸收了魔气。表面无数繁复异常的纹阵浮现而起。散发出令人心悸的法则之力，随后此女右手抬起。将此斧朝着下方狠狠挥落下去。
The entire sky turned pale in an instant, then bubbled like boiling water.
wú shēng wú xī 。
无声无息。
Not only was the void slashed open; it seemed that this plane's spatial laws had been altered by this strike.
rán ér cóng cǐ fǔ de biǎo miàn ， què sàn fà chū yī gǔ néng gòu kāi tiān pì dì de páng bó zhī lì 。
然而从此斧的表面，却散发出一股能够开天辟地的磅礴之力。
What a terrifying strength. This was just one manifestation. It was hard to imagine what would be seen if the True Demon Ancestor were here.
zhěng gè tiān kōng ， zài yī shùn jiān biàn chéng le cǎn bái zhī sè， suí hòu rú tóng zhǔ fèi de shuǐ yì bān fèi téng qǐ lái le 。
整个天空，在一瞬间变成了惨白之sè，随后如同煮沸的水一般沸腾起来了。
Lin Xuan was equally awestruck, then took a deep breath.
qǐ zhǐ shì xū kōng bèi zhǎn pò ， sì hū zhè yī jiè miàn de kōng jiān fǎ zé ， zài zhè yī jī de wēi néng xià dōu fā shēng gǎi biàn le 。
岂止是虚空被斩破，似乎这一界面的空间法则，在这一击的威能下都发生改变了。
He did not retreat.
hǎo kě pà de shí lì ， zhè hái jǐn jǐn shì yī jù huà shēn ér yǐ ， nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng ， ruò shì zhēn mó shǐ zǔ qīn zhì ， jiāng huì shì zěn yàng yī zhǒng jìng kuàng yìng rù yǎn lián lǐ 。
好可怕的实力，这还仅仅是一具化身而已，难以想象，若是真魔始祖亲至，将会是怎样一种境况映入眼帘里。
Raising his right hand, he formed a fist in mid-air as all the sword lights vanished.
lín xuān tóng yàng shì tàn wéi guān zhǐ ， suí hòu shēn shēn de xī le kǒu qì 。
林轩同样是叹为观止，随后深深的吸了口气。
As if they had never been there.
tā bìng méi yǒu tuì bì 。
他并没有退避。
In their place, a celestial sword materialized before him, thin like a cicada’s wing and semi-transparent. The sword looked fragile but contained heart-stirring法则 power.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， wǔ zhǐ xū wò ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， màn tiān jiàn guāng yī xià zi xiāo shī le 。
右手抬起，五指虚握，随着他的动作，漫天剑光一下子消失了。
Lin Xuan shook his hand with immense gravity and swung it downward.
fǎng fú cóng lái bù céng chū xiàn guò 。
仿佛从来不曾出现过。
The movement was incredibly agile, silent yet powerful. A majestic wave of剑气 obscured the sky, grand in its momentum.
qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī bǐng xiān jiàn shà shí jiān yóu tā zhǐ zhǎng jiān fú xiàn ér qǐ ， báo rú chán yì ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， jū rán shì bàn tòu míng dì 。
取而代之的是一柄仙剑霎时间由他指掌间浮现而起，薄如蝉翼，一眼望去，居然是半透明地。
But in an instant, all the剑气 condensed into a slender crystal thread.
nà jiàn kàn shàng qù cuì ruò wú bǐ ， piān piān què yùn hán dé yǒu lìng rén xīn jì de fǎ zé zhī lì 。
那剑看上去脆弱无比，偏偏却蕴含得有令人心悸的法则之力。
In the next moment, it clashed with the brilliant axe blade.
lín xuān shǒu yī dǒu ， biǎo qíng níng zhòng wú bǐ ， tóng yàng shì jiāng tā xiàng zhe xià fāng huī qù 。
林轩手一抖，表情凝重无比，同样是将它向着下方挥去。
Boom!
dòng zuò líng qiǎo yǐ jí ， zhěng gè guò chéng gèng shì wú shēng wú xī ， rán ér pī miàn què jiàn yī huī hóng yì cháng de jiàn qì ， zhē yún bì rì， shēng shì hóng dà yǐ jí 。
动作灵巧以极，整个过程更是无声无息，然而劈面却见一恢宏异常的剑气，遮云蔽rì，声势宏大以极。
The force was indescribable; as if the entire void had been swallowed up. The two different 法则 forces collided and entangled fiercely.
dàn yī zhuǎn yǎn ， què yòu xùn sù yǐn qù ， suǒ yǒu de jiàn qì ， fǎng fú bèi yā suō zài yì qǐ ， huà wèi le yī xiān xì de jīng sī 。
但一转眼，却又迅速隐去，所有的剑气，仿佛被压缩在一起，化为了一纤细的晶丝。
Each collision brought destruction.
xià yī kè ， yǔ nà cuǐ càn de fǔ máng zhuàng jī zài le yì qǐ 。
下一刻，与那璀璨的斧芒撞击在了一起。
For a while, neither side could gain an upper hand. Meanwhile, the Spirit Fox Patriarch’s eyes were wide with amazement. He was also at the early stage of渡劫, but he had never witnessed such powerful combat. To call it breathtaking was not an exaggeration.
hōng ！
轰！
The Treasure Snake was one of the nine True Demon Ancestors and far beyond ordinary people. Such strength for a manifestation was understandable.
nà shēng shì nán yǐ yán yù ， fǎng fú zhěng gè xū kōng ， dōu bèi tūn mò le jìn qù ， liǎng gǔ bù tóng de fǎ zé zhī lì ， hěn hěn de zhuàng jī jiū chán zài yì qǐ 。
那声势难以言喻，仿佛整个虚空，都被吞没了进去，两股不同的法则之力，狠狠的撞击纠缠在一起。
But this boy hadn’t been famous in a century; how could he be so formidable?
měi yī cì pèng zhuàng ， suǒ dài lái de dōu shì huǐ miè de lì liàng 。
每一次碰撞，所带来的都是毁灭的力量。
Though the Spirit Fox Patriarch was envious, he still felt a hint of admiration.
yī shí jiān ， què nán yǐ fēn chū shèng fù ， ér yī páng de líng hú zūn zhě ， yǐ jīng kàn zhí yǎn le ， tā tóng yàng shì dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， ér qiě yǐ dào le dǐng fēng de chéng dù ， rán ér zhè zhǒng wēi lì de dòu fǎ ， què yě bù céng jiàn guò ， shuō tàn wéi guān zhǐ ， yì diǎn dōu bù dài kuā zhāng de 。
一时间，却难以分出胜负，而一旁的灵狐尊者，已经看直眼了，他同样是渡劫初期的修仙者，而且已到了顶峰的程度，然而这种威力的斗法，却也不曾见过，说叹为观止，一点都不带夸张的。
At that moment, cold words echoed in his ears: "Spirit Fox friend, I have already ensnared this boy. If you don’t act now, when will you?"
bǎo shé nǎi shì jiǔ wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ zhī yī ， yuǎn fēi cháng rén kě bǐ ， huà shēn yǒu zhè yàng de shí lì ， yě shuō dé guò qù 。
宝蛇乃是九位真魔始祖之一，远非常人可比，化身有这样的实力，也说得过去。
The Spirit Fox Patriarch sighed. He didn’t want to make enemies but had long suspected Lin Xuan’s presence here.
kě zhè lín xiǎo zi ， bǎi nián zhī qián dōu hái zhēn shì míng bú jiàn jīng zhuàn de xiǎo rén wù ， zěn me kě néng yě rú cǐ liǎo bù qǐ ne 。
可这林小子，百年之前都还真是名不见经传的小人物，怎么可能也如此了不起呢。
With no retreat possible, he decided to take full advantage of the Treasure Snake’s assistance and use all his strength to eliminate this boy. One, it would remove a potential threat; two, he could gain benefits from the promise made by the other party—a win-win situation.
líng hú zūn zhě bù jiě zhī yú ， xīn zhōng shuō bù xiàn mù nà kěn dìng shì piàn rén dì 。
灵狐尊者不解之余，心中说不羡慕那肯定是骗人地。
He was known for his cunning.
ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， yī bīng lěng de huà yǔ chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ líng hú dào yǒu ， běn gōng yǐ jīng jiāng zhè lín xiǎo zi chán zhù ， nǐ xiàn zài hái bù dòng shǒu ， gèng dài hé shí ？”
而就在此刻，一冰冷的话语传入耳朵：“灵狐道友，本宫已经将这林小子缠住，你现在还不动手，更待何时？”
In an instant, he understood the pros and cons clearly.
líng hú zūn zhě tàn le kǒu qì ， tā bù xiǎng shù dí ， rán ér zhè lín xiǎo zi jì rán zhǎo dào zhè lǐ ， duō bàn zǎo yǐ huái yí shàng zì jǐ 。
灵狐尊者叹了口气，他不想树敌，然而这林小子既然找到这里，多半早已怀疑上自己。
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he reached into his waistband and pulled out a blood-red gourd.
fǎn zhèng dōu méi yǒu tuì lù ， bù rú chèn zhe yǒu bǎo shé xiāng zhù ， chū quán lì jiāng zhè lín xiǎo zi miè chú ， yī lái miǎn chú hòu huàn ， èr lái hái kě yǐ huò dé duì fāng xǔ nuò de hǎo chù ， kě wèi yī jǔ liǎng dé 。
反正都没有退路，不如趁着有宝蛇相助，出全力将这林小子灭除，一来免除后患，二来还可以获得对方许诺的好处，可谓一举两得。
With a flick of his hand, he unleashed the treasure.
tā yuán běn jiù shì yǐ jiǎo zhà chū míng de 。
他原本就是以狡诈出名的。
Boom!
qǐng kè zhī jiān ， jiù jiāng zhè qí zhōng de lì bì dé shī xiǎng qīng chǔ 。
顷刻之间，就将这其中的利弊得失想清楚。
Mighty flames erupted from the gourd.
zhè jiā huo yǎn zhōng lì máng yī shǎn ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yī xuè hóng sè de hú lú fú xiàn chū lái 。
这家伙眼中厉芒一闪，伸出手来，在腰间一拍，一血红sè的葫芦浮现出来。
However, these flames did not attack Lin Xuan; instead, they hovered around him.
suí shǒu yī yáng shǒu ， jiāng cǐ bǎo jì chū 。
随手一扬手，将此宝祭出。
The Spirit Fox Patriarch’s face was grave as strange incantations emerged from his mouth.
hōng ！
轰！
Suddenly, an unbelievable scene unfolded. The flames surged like seawater, and bizarre creatures emerged from within.
cóng hú lú zhōng ， shì fàng chū màn tiān de liè huǒ 。
从葫芦中，释放出漫天的烈火。
There were tigers with two heads, giant mantises, bats with four wings, and even some that resembled trees.
rán ér nà xiē liè huǒ bìng méi yǒu xiàng zhe lín xuān gōng jī ， ér shì xuán fú zài tā de zhōu cè 。
然而那些烈火并没有像着林轩攻击，而是悬浮在他的周侧。
What a strange spell! What kind of treasure was this gourd?
líng hú zūn zhě de liǎn shàng mǎn shì yán sù zhī sè， gǔ guài de zhòu yǔ shēng cóng tā de zuǐ bā zhōng fā chū 。
灵狐尊者的脸上满是严肃之sè，古怪的咒语声从他的嘴巴中发出。
Even Lin Xuan, with his vast knowledge, couldn’t help feeling shocked. In an instant, the monsters born from the flames numbered over a hundred, charging towards him aggressively. (To be continued.)
suí hòu ， bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le ， liè huǒ rú hǎi shuǐ yì bān de fān yǒng ， suí hòu yī tóu tóu gǔ guài de shēng wù yóu lǐ miàn fú xiàn ér chū 。
随后，不可思议的一幕发生了，烈火如海水一般的翻涌，随后一头头古怪的生物由里面浮现而出。
PS: Please give me some recommendation votes, thanks!
The danger had to be snuffed out in its infancy. The Treasure Snake was determined; no matter what, she would eliminate Lin Xuan here.
Facing the falling sword lights like rain, she naturally did not retreat.
With a flick of her jade hand, dark demonic energy surged forth and transformed into a thick layer of light curtain, enveloping her delicate figure.
A myriad of sword lights descended.
The clinking sounds entered his ears. Although each sword light was extremely sharp, they could not easily penetrate her defenses.
True Demon Ancestor, indeed, was no small matter; everyone's divine techniques had their unique aspects.
However, mere defense was insufficient. A fierce glint flashed in the Treasure Snake’s eyes as she flicked her hand again and made a sealing gesture.
A light ball appeared in her palm.
Though it resembled an egg in size, its colors were vividly diverse, so dazzling that they could not be described further.
"Break!"
The Treasure Snake whispered softly. With one hand, she pushed the light ball out.
"What technique is this?"
Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted as he felt a hint of danger flash through his mind at that moment, though he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was. The light ball moved too swiftly; before he could change his tactics, it had already reached the densest part of the sword lights.

The light ball exploded. However, no lightning or fire appeared; instead, colorful mist emerged from within.
This mist was extremely sticky and instantly adhered to the sword lights.

The Illusory Yin Divine Thunder had the same effect; this was A Shura King’s secret technique. Lin Xuan employed a strategy to counter poison with poison.

The giant axe absorbed the demonic energy, and intricate patterns emerged on its surface, emitting a heart-stirring法则 power. With a raised right hand, she swung the axe down forcefully.

However, these flames did not attack Lin Xuan; instead, they hovered around him.
The Spirit Fox Patriarch’s face was grave as strange incantations emerged from his mouth.

There were tigers with two heads, giant mantises, bats with four wings, and even some that resembled trees.
What a strange spell! What kind of treasure was this gourd?
Even Lin Xuan, with his vast knowledge, couldn’t help feeling shocked. In an instant, the monsters born from the flames numbered over a hundred, charging towards him aggressively. (To be continued.)
