zhěng gè guò chéng tù qǐ hú luò ， rú diàn guāng shí huǒ ， qí shí lín xuān què shì shī zhǎn chū le hún shēn xiè shù ， lì jīng xīn kǔ ， hǎo bù róng yì cái zhōng yú yíng zào chū rú jīn de yǒu lì tiáo jiàn ， néng fǒu jiāng duì fāng miè chú ？
整个过程兔起鹘落，如电光石火，其实林轩却是施展出了浑身解数，历经辛苦，好不容易才终于营造出如今的有利条件，能否将对方灭除？
The entire process unfolded like lightning, with each move swift and decisive. Yet, Lin Xuan had indeed deployed all his skills, enduring much hardship to finally create this advantageous position—could he successfully eliminate the opponent?
píng xīn lái shuō ， lín xuān yě bù qīng chǔ 。
平心来说，林轩也不清楚。
To be honest, Lin Xuan was not entirely sure.
méi cuò ， tā wú tài dà de bǎ wò 。
没错，他无太大的把握。
Indeed, he didn't have much confidence in himself.
duì fāng bì jìng yě shì dù jié qī ， ér qiě shí lì yuǎn fēi pǔ tōng de jiāng shī kě bǐ 。
对方毕竟也是渡劫期，而且实力远非普通的僵尸可比。
After all, the opponent was a Transcendence Stage cultivator, and his strength far exceeded that of ordinary zombies. Although he had cleverly devised a plan to temporarily prevent the other from using the Speed Law, completely defeating him would still be challenging.
suī rán zì jǐ qiǎo miào suàn jì ， ràng tā zàn shí shī zhǎn bù chū sù dù fǎ zé ， kě xiǎng yào bì qí gōng yú yī yì ， yī jiù bìng bù róng yì 。
虽然自己巧妙算计，让他暂时施展不出速度法则，可想要毕其功于一役，依旧并不容易。
At this level, most beings possessed at least one or two secret techniques for self-preservation, making it difficult to achieve a decisive victory with a single strike.
zhè ge děng jí de cún zài ， huò duō huò shǎo dōu xiū liàn yǒu yī liǎng zhǒng bǎo mìng mì shù ， xiǎng yào yī jī bì shā shì hěn nán de 。
这个等级的存在，或多或少都修炼有一两种保命秘术，想要一击必杀是很难的。
But that didn't matter. Even if he didn’t fall in battle, he certainly wouldn’t escape unscathed.
bù guò méi guān xì ， tā jiù suàn bù yǔn luò ， yě jué bù kě néng háo fā wú sǔn de táo tuō 。
不过没关系，他就算不陨落，也绝不可能毫发无损的逃脱。
As long as the opponent was severely injured, the ensuing combat would be much easier, and he would eventually emerge victorious.
zhǐ yào duì fāng bèi zhòng chuāng ， xià miàn de dòu fǎ ， jiù huì róng yì xǔ duō ， zì jǐ chí zǎo huì shì shèng lì zhě 。
只要对方被重创，下面的斗法，就会容易许多，自己迟早会是胜利者。
Lin Xuan wasn't anxious; the current situation favored him.
lín xuān bù jí ， xiàn zài de qíng shì duì zì jǐ yǒu lì 。
林轩不急，现在的情势对自己有利。
"Damnit!"
“ kě wù ！”
“可恶！”
The zombie revealed its fangs, eyes filled with malice. Its expression became even more terrifying.
nà jiāng shī liáo yá wài lù ， yǎn zhōng gèng shì liú lù chū yī lǚ yuàn dú ， biǎo qíng biàn dé yuè fā de zhēng níng kě bù 。
那僵尸獠牙外露，眼中更是流露出一缕怨毒，表情变得越发的狰狞可怖。
Sure enough, an innate treasure really couldn’t be underestimated. He had been too careless, falling into this young man’s trap.
xiān tiān líng bǎo guǒ rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zì jǐ tài dà yì ， luò rù le zhè xiǎo zi de xiàn jǐng lǐ 。
先天灵宝果然非同小可，自己太大意，落入了这小子的陷阱里。
He regretted his actions deeply but wouldn't sit idly by.
tā xīn zhōng hòu huǐ bù yǐ ， dàn zì rán bú huì zuò yǐ dài bì 。
他心中后悔不已，但自然不会坐以待毙。
Raising his head, he let out a roar.
yáng qǐ tóu ， fā chū yī shēng nù hǒu 。
扬起头，发出一声怒吼。
His hair suddenly grew longer, originally purple-black, now resembling writhing snakes in the air, blocking Lin Xuan's sword light.
suí hòu tā de tóu fà bào zhǎng qǐ lái ， yuán jiù shì zǐ hēi sè ， cǐ kè ， gèng shì yǒu rú fēi yáng de mó shé ， zài bàn kōng zhōng líng huó de niǔ dòng zhe ， jiāng lín xuān de jiàn guāng dǎng zhù 。
随后他的头发暴涨起来，原就是紫黑色，此刻，更是有如飞扬的魔蛇，在半空中灵活的扭动着，将林轩的剑光挡住。
But it was futile. There were too many sword lights. Although the weapons created from his hair weren't trivial, they could only block half of the attacks at best.
bù guò méi yǒu yòng tú ， jiàn guāng shù liàng tài duō ， zhè jiā huo tóu fà suǒ huàn huà chū lái de wǔ qì suī fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn néng gòu dǎng zhù yí bàn de gōng jī jiù bù cuò 。
不过没有用途，剑光数量太多，这家伙头发所幻化出来的武器虽非同小可，但能够挡住一半的攻击就不错。
This way, he would still end up perishing.
zhè yàng xià qù ， tā yī jiù nán táo yǔn luò de jié jú 。
这样下去，他依旧难逃陨落的结局。
The zombie’s face showed a determined expression. Suddenly, both hands crossed over each other, forming a shoulder-hugging gesture before separating.
nà jiāng shī de liǎn shàng ， liú lù chū yī sī jué jué zhī yì 。 tū rán shuāng shǒu jiāo chā ， zuò le yí gè bào jiān de dòng zuò ， suí hòu fēn kāi 。
那僵尸的脸上，流露出一丝决绝之意。突然双手交叉，做了一个抱肩的动作，随后分开。
Sssshh…
chī chī ……
嗤嗤……
A loud crack echoed through the air, like raindrops hitting banana leaves. The sound filled his ears.
pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， rú yǔ dǎ jiāo hé 。 mì mì má má de chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
破空声大做，如雨打蕉荷。密密麻麻的传入耳朵。
Following this, countless dark-black claws emerged, raining down in a dense shower towards all sides.
suí zhī bàn suí de shì ， wú shù yǒu hēi sè de zhǎo máng fú xiàn ér qǐ ， mì rú yǔ diǎn bān de cháo zhe sì zhōu kuáng yǒng ér qù 。
随之伴随的是，无数黝黑色的爪芒浮现而起，密如雨点般的朝着四周狂涌而去。
Those sharp claws collided with the sword light.
nà xiē xī lì de zhǎo máng ， yǔ jiàn guāng hěn hěn de zhuàng zài yì qǐ 。
那些犀利的爪芒，与剑光狠狠的撞在一起。
Although the power was insufficient, it seemed they could somewhat mitigate the danger.
wēi lì suī rán yǒu suǒ bù jí 。 dàn kàn yàng zi ， sì hū néng miǎn qiǎng huà jiě wēi jī 。
威力虽然有所不及。但看样子，似乎能勉强化解危机。
Lin Xuan's face revealed a gloomy expression.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng ， bù yóu de liú lù chū yī sī yīn mái zhī yì 。
林轩的脸上，不由得流露出一丝阴霾之意。
Sure enough, he couldn’t easily deal with such an opponent.
zhè jiā huo ， guǒ rán bù hǎo duì fù 。
这家伙，果然不好对付。
But Lin Xuan wouldn't let him escape unscathed.
dàn lín xuān zì rán bú huì kàn zhe tā tuō xiǎn de 。
但林轩自然不会看着他脱险的。
Raising his right hand, he punched forward.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī quán xiàng qián dǎ qǐ 。
右手抬起，一拳向前打起。
Ordinary in appearance, but space fluctuations followed.
píng píng wú qí ， què yǒu kòng jiān bō dòng suí zhī ér qǐ 。
平平无奇，却有空间波动随之而起。
This fist蕴含ing force laws would normally be easy for the other to counter. But at this moment, he was already flustered.
zhè yùn hán lì liàng fǎ zé de yī quán ， ruò zài píng cháng zhī shí ， duì fāng bìng bù nán huà jiě ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè 。 tā zhèng shì shǒu máng jiǎo luàn zhī shí 。
这蕴含力量法则的一拳，若在平常之时，对方并不难化解，然而此时此刻。他正是手忙脚乱之时。
Lin Xuan's timing was perfect; there was no way for the opponent to dodge it.
lín xuān de shí jī bǎ wò dé qià dào hǎo chù 。 duì fāng duǒ wú kě duǒ 。
林轩的时机把握得恰到好处。对方躲无可躲。
The punch hit him right on target.
gāng hǎo bèi zhè yī quán jī zhòng 。
刚好被这一拳击中。
"Bang!"
“ pēng ！”
“嘭！”
Like a meteorite falling, it crashed forward.
rú liú xīng zhuì luò 。 hěn hěn de cháo qián fāng zá là xià qù le 。
如流星坠落。狠狠的朝前方砸落下去了。
It tore through several mountain peaks, revealing just how powerful that punch was. Despite dodging the Nine Palace Moment Sword’s attack, he still took a full hit from this punch.
yī lián guàn chuān le shù zuò shān fēng ， kě xiǎng ér zhī ， nà yī quán de wēi lì 。 shì hé děng de fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
一连贯穿了数座山峰，可想而知，那一拳的威力。是何等的非同小可。
In the end, a large crater appeared in his line of sight.
shī zhī dōng ǒu ， shōu zhī sāng yú 。 duì fāng suī rán duǒ guò le jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de gōng jī ， dàn zhè yī quán ， què āi le gè shí zú 。
失之东偶，收之桑榆。对方虽然躲过了九宫须臾剑的攻击，但这一拳，却挨了个十足。
The first few mountains were merely pierced through, but the last high mountain collapsed entirely, burying him under debris.
zuì hòu ， yí gè dà kēng chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
最后，一个大坑出现在了视线里。
Opportunity knocks but once!
qián miàn jǐ zuò shān fēng ， jǐn jǐn shì bèi guàn chuān ér yǐ ， zuì hòu yī zuò gāo shān ， què zhěng gè tān tā diào le ， tā bèi suì shí mái le jìn qù 。
前面几座山峰，仅仅是被贯穿而已，最后一座高山，却整个坍塌掉了，他被碎石埋了进去。
Lin Xuan's face showed joy and killing intent.
jī bù kě shī ！
机不可失！
Raising his right hand, he cast a spell.
lín xuān liǎn shàng liú lù chū yī sī huān xǐ ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de hái yǒu shā qì 。
林轩脸上流露出一丝欢喜，与之伴随的还有杀气。
Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire burst into flames, rising to dozens of feet in height.
yòu shǒu yī fú ， yī dào fǎ jué diǎn chū 。
右手一拂，一道法诀点出。
A clear sound echoed, like pearls falling on jade. A giant phoenix appeared.
huàn líng tiān huǒ xióng xióng bào rán ， téng shēng qǐ shù shí zhàng gāo de huǒ yàn 。
幻灵天火熊熊爆燃，腾升起数十丈高的火焰。
With a flap of its wings, divine light shone bright as numerous talismans the size of fists shot out, like arrows from a bow, colliding with the debris.
suí hòu qīng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhū luò yù pán ， yī zhī jù dà de fèng huáng fú xiàn 。
随后清鸣声传入耳朵，珠落玉盘，一只巨大的凤凰浮现。
Boom!
liǎng zhǐ chì bǎng yī shàn ， shén guāng càn làn ， yí gè gè quán tou dà xiǎo de fú pēn bó chū lái ， rú lí xián zhī jiàn ， zhuàng xiàng le nà suì shí lǐ miàn 。
两只翅膀一扇，神光灿烂，一个个拳头大小的符喷薄出来，如离弦之箭，撞像了那碎石里面。
The phoenix mid-flight turned an eerie blue.
hōng ！
轰！
Temperature dropped sharply, and a terrifying coldness filled the entire world, turning it into an icy landscape.
fèng huáng fēi dào zhōng tú ， què guǐ yì de biàn chéng le zhàn lán zhī sè 。
凤凰飞到中途，却诡异的变成了湛蓝之色。
Damnit!
yǔ zhī bàn suí de shì wēn dù zhòu rán jiàng dī ， kě pà de qí hán suí zhī ér qǐ ， chōng chì zài zhěng gè tiān dì ， fǎng fú biàn chéng le bīng tiān xuě dì 。
与之伴随的是温度骤然降低，可怕的奇寒随之而起，充斥在整个天地，仿佛变成了冰天雪地。
The zombie was shocked and enraged. If he were at his peak, such an attack wouldn’t have mattered much; he could easily break through it.
kě wù ！
可恶！
But just now, he took a punch from Lin Xuan.
nà jiāng shī jīng nù jiāo jí ， ruò shì zì jǐ quán shèng zhī shí ， zhè yàng de gōng jī zì rán bù fàng zài yǎn lǐ 。
那僵尸惊怒交集，若是自己全盛之时，这样的攻击自然不放在眼里。
Though it appeared as only one strike, it contained the power of laws.
hěn qīng sōng jiù néng pò qù 。
很轻松就能破去。
Fortunately, he had the body of a True Immortal, having undergone countless trials. Otherwise, he might have fallen here.
rán ér gāng gāng ， tā āi le lín xuān yī quán 。
然而刚刚，他挨了林轩一拳。
He wasn’t going to die, but he couldn’t summon his energy in an instant.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn zhǐ yǒu yī jī ， rán ér què yùn hán yǒu fǎ zé zhī lì 。
表面上看只有一击，然而却蕴含有法则之力。
How could he deal with this crisis?
xìng hǎo shì zhēn xiān zhī qū ， shēn qián céng jīng qiān chuí bǎi liàn guò ， fǒu zé jiù cǐ yǔn luò yě shì yǒu kě néng dì 。
幸好是真仙之躯，身前曾经千锤百炼过，否则就此陨落也是有可能地。
Damnit, one wrong move and everything is lost. This young man’s ability to seize the moment was too outrageous.
tā dāng rán bù zhì yú ， dàn yī shí piàn kè ， yě wú fǎ jiāng fǎ lì tí qǐ 。
他当然不至于，但一时片刻，也无法将法力提起。
But now, complaining wouldn’t help.
rú cǐ yī lái ， zěn me yìng fù yǎn qián de wēi jī ？
如此一来，怎么应付眼前的危机？
Despite being at a severe disadvantage, he wouldn’t sit idly by.
kě wù ， yī zhe bù shèn mǎn pán jiē shū ， zhè xiǎo jiā huo bǎ wò shí jī de néng lì ， wèi miǎn tài lí pǔ 。
可恶，一着不慎满盘皆输，这小家伙把握时机的能力，未免太离谱。
A faint light flashed in the zombie's eyes as an inch-high婴 soul appeared above its head.
rán ér xiàn zài bào yuàn méi yǒu yòng tú 。
然而现在抱怨没有用途。
Sure enough, this guy, just like Lin Xuan had guessed, was one of the rare zombies that cultivated an infant soul.
jǐn guǎn chǔ jìng bù lì dào jí chù ， tā yī jiù bú huì zuò yǐ dài bì de 。
尽管处境不利到极处，他依旧不会坐以待毙的。
Severely hit and unable to move, but the infant soul remained unaffected.
nà jiāng shī yǎn zhōng lì máng shǎn guò ， yí gè cùn xǔ gāo de yuán yīng zài qí tóu dǐng fú xiàn ér chū 。
那僵尸眼中厉芒闪过，一个寸许高的元婴在其头顶浮现而出。
The transformed phoenix from Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire had already approached closely.
róng mào yǔ qí xiāng chà fǎng fú ， zhè jiā huo guǒ rán rú lín xuān de cāi cè ， shì hǎn jiàn de xiū liàn yǒu yuán yīng de shī wáng lái zhe 。
容貌与其相差仿佛，这家伙果然如林轩的猜测，是罕见的修炼有元婴的尸王来着。
Lin Xuan was curious about how he would handle it.
shēn tǐ shòu le zhòng jī ， dòng tán bù dé ， dàn yuán yīng què sī háo yǐng xiǎng yě wú 。
身体受了重击，动弹不得，但元婴却丝毫影响也无。
But then something unexpected happened. The zombie took a deep breath and swallowed the Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire whole.
cǐ kè ， huàn líng tiān huǒ suǒ huà de fèng huáng yǐ jīng chōng dào le jìn chù 。
此刻，幻灵天火所化的凤凰已经冲到了近处。
Yes, he swallowed it.
lín xuān dào yǒu xiē hào qí ， kàn tā yào rú hé yìng fù 。
林轩倒有些好奇，看他要如何应付。
It seemed impossible to imagine.
suí hòu què fā shēng le ràng qí dà diē yǎn jìng de yí mù 。
随后却发生了让其大跌眼镜的一幕。
The infant soul was only an inch high, while the transformed phoenix from Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire was several dozen feet long.
duì fāng shēn shēn hū xī ， jū rán yī kǒu jiāng huàn líng tiān huǒ tūn le jìn qù 。
对方深深呼吸，居然一口将幻灵天火吞了进去。
Despite such a size difference, swallowing it with one bite seemed too exaggerated.
méi cuò ， tūn diào le 。
没错，吞掉了。
But Lin Xuan had witnessed this firsthand; denying it wouldn’t help. In the world of cultivation, things couldn't be explained by common sense, and this monster's infant soul was incredibly powerful.
xiǎng xiǎng jiù jué de bù kě sī yì 。
想想就觉得不可思议。
However, daring to swallow Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire—was he brave or foolish?
yuán yīng gāo bù guò cùn xǔ ， huàn líng tiān huǒ suǒ biàn huàn chū lái de fèng huáng ， què shēn cháng shù zhàng yǒu yú 。
元婴高不过寸许，幻灵天火所变幻出来的凤凰，却身长数丈有余。
He was clearly suicidal. A mental probe from Lin Xuan tried to drive the demon fire, but it failed; his connection with Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire had been severed.
dà xiǎo xuán shū ， zhè yàng yě néng yī kǒu tūn luò ， xiǎng xiǎng dōu jué de yǒu xiē tài kuā zhāng le 。
大小悬殊，这样也能一口吞落，想想都觉得有些太夸张了。
How could that be possible?
rán ér lín xuān qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， fǒu rèn yě méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， xiū xiān jiè de shì qíng ， yuán jiù bù kě yòng cháng lǐ chuǎi mó ， zhè guài wù de yuán yīng yě tài biāo hàn le 。
然而林轩亲眼目睹，否认也没有用处，修仙界的事情，原就不可用常理揣摩，这怪物的元婴也太彪悍了。
He had cultivated this flame for thousands of years, acquiring it during the Condensation Core Stage. It had accompanied him throughout his cultivation journey.
bù guò jū rán gǎn jiāng huàn líng tiān huǒ tūn mò ， jiū jìng gāi shuō tā dǎn dà hái shì yú chǔn ne ？
不过居然敢将幻灵天火吞没，究竟该说他胆大还是愚蠢呢？
If not counting treasures, Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire was undoubtedly his most proficient skill, having reached a level where he could control it with his mind. How could its connection to his heart be severed?
jiǎn zhí shì bù zhī sǐ huó ， lín xuān yī dào shén niàn fā chū ， xiǎng yào qū dòng mó huǒ ， rán ér què méi yǒu yòng tú ， zì jǐ yǔ huàn líng tiān huǒ jiān de xīn shén lián xì bèi qiē duàn le 。
简直是不知死活，林轩一道神念发出，想要驱动魔火，然而却没有用途，自己与幻灵天火间的心神联系被切断了。
He had faced countless battles but never encountered such a situation before.
zěn me kě néng ne ？
怎么可能呢？
But now, there was no time for deep investigation.
cǐ huǒ yàn zì jǐ xiū liàn le shù qiān nián ， zǎo zài níng dān qī de shí hòu ， jiù yǐ jīng yōng yǒu le ， kě yǐ shuō shì bàn suí zhe zì jǐ de xiū xiān zhī lù ， yī lù zǒu lái de 。
此火焰自己修炼了数千年，早在凝丹期的时候，就已经拥有了，可以说是伴随着自己的修仙之路，一路走来的。
In the clash of high-level cultivators, every detail mattered. Despite this seemingly illogical scenario, Lin Xuan didn’t have time to delve deeper.
ruò bù suàn bǎo wù ， huàn líng tiān huǒ jué duì shì zì jǐ zuì ná shǒu de gōng fu ， zǎo yǐ dào le liàn huà yóu xīn de dì bù ， yǔ xīn shén jiān de lián xì ， zěn me kě néng bèi qiē duàn ne ？
若不算宝物，幻灵天火绝对是自己最拿手的功夫，早已到了炼化由心的地步，与心神间的联系，怎么可能被切断呢？
The immediate task was to eliminate the opponent here.
zì jǐ jīng lì dòu fǎ wú shù ， rán ér zhè zhǒng qíng xíng ， què shì cóng lái bù céng yù dào guò de 。
自己经历斗法无数，然而这种情形，却是从来不曾遇到过的。
Raising his right hand again, sharp sword light shot forward.
bù guò xiàn zài ， yě méi yǒu shí jiān qù shēn jiū le 。
不过现在，也没有时间去深究了。
The infant soul flashed and returned inside the zombie's body.
gāo shǒu guò zhāo ， zhǐ zhēng lí háo ， yǎn qián de yí mù suī rán bù hé cháng lǐ ， dàn lín xuān yě méi yǒu shí jiān qù màn màn shēn jiū 。
高手过招，只争厘毫，眼前的一幕虽然不合常理，但林轩也没有时间去慢慢深究。
Then the zombie’s figure blurred as all the sword lights landed in empty space.
dāng wù zhī jí ， shì jiāng duì fāng miè shā zài zhè lǐ 。
当务之急，是将对方灭杀在这里。
At this distance from the Black Moon Sky Witch Pavilion, spatial laws couldn’t interfere. Thus, the zombie resumed its rapid movement.
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， xī lì de jiàn guāng zài cì fēi shè guò qù 。
林轩右手抬起，犀利的剑光再次飞射过去。
"Damnit, you swallowed my Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire."
yuán yīng què shēn xíng yī shǎn ， huí dào le jiāng shī de shēn tǐ lǐ miàn 。
元婴却身形一闪，回到了僵尸的身体里面。
"Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire, a good name. But since it’s an ice-cold attribute flame, for me, it’s a great tonic. You’re too naive to think you can use it against me," the zombie's triumphant laughter echoed.
suí hòu duì fāng de shēn xíng yī zhèn mó hú ， suǒ yǒu de jiàn guāng dōu luò zài le kōng chù 。
随后对方的身形一阵模糊，所有的剑光都落在了空处。
p: Monday is very much in need of recommendation votes. Thank you, fellow cultivators.
The entire process unfolded like lightning, with each move swift and decisive. Yet, Lin Xuan had indeed deployed all his skills, enduring much hardship to finally create this advantageous position—could he successfully eliminate the opponent?
To be honest, Lin Xuan was not entirely sure.

Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire burst into flames, rising to dozens of feet in height.
A clear sound echoed, like pearls falling on jade. A giant phoenix appeared.
With a flap of its wings, divine light shone bright as numerous talismans the size of fists shot out, like arrows from a bow, colliding with the debris.

He was clearly suicidal. A mental probe from Lin Xuan tried to drive the demon fire, but it failed; his connection with Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire had been severed.
How could that be possible?
He had cultivated this flame for thousands of years, acquiring it during the Condensation Core Stage. It had accompanied him throughout his cultivation journey.
If not counting treasures, Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire was undoubtedly his most proficient skill, having reached a level where he could control it with his mind. How could its connection to his heart be severed?
He had faced countless battles but never encountered such a situation before.
But now, there was no time for deep investigation.
In the clash of high-level cultivators, every detail mattered. Despite this seemingly illogical scenario, Lin Xuan didn’t have time to delve deeper.
The immediate task was to eliminate the opponent here.
Raising his right hand again, sharp sword light shot forward.
The infant soul flashed and returned inside the zombie's body.
Then the zombie’s figure blurred as all the sword lights landed in empty space.
At this distance from the Black Moon Sky Witch Pavilion, spatial laws couldn’t interfere. Thus, the zombie resumed its rapid movement.
"Damnit, you swallowed my Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire."
"Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire, a good name. But since it’s an ice-cold attribute flame, for me, it’s a great tonic. You’re too naive to think you can use it against me," the zombie's triumphant laughter echoed.
p: Monday is very much in need of recommendation votes. Thank you, fellow cultivators.
