zhè yàng de sù dù ， tán bù shàng shì rú pò zhú ， dàn yě jué duì shì lìng rén chēng dào de 。
这样的速度，谈不上势如破竹，但也绝对是令人称道的。
Such speed could not be called势如破竹, but it was certainly praiseworthy.
tiān yōu guǐ shèng de liǎn sè nán kàn yǐ jí ， míng míng yǐ jīng xiǎng jǐn bàn fǎ fēn dān zì jǐ de yā lì ， méi xiǎng dào zuì hòu ， hái shì zhè yàng de jié jú 。
天幽鬼圣的脸sè难看以极，明明已经想尽办法分担自己的压力，没想到最后，还是这样的结局。
The face of Tianyou Ghost Saint turned extremely ugly. Despite trying every possible method to share the pressure, he still ended up with such a result in the end.
bù guò tā bìng méi yǒu fàng qì ， zhǐ yào néng gòu liàn huà duì fāng de běn mìng bǎo wù ， zì jǐ yī jiù yǒu yī xiàn shèng jī 。
不过他并没有放弃，只要能够炼化对方的本命宝物，自己依旧有一线胜机。
However, he did not give up. As long as he could refine the opponent's innate treasure, there was still a chance for victory.
kāi gōng méi yǒu huí tóu jiàn ， wú lùn rú hé ， tā xiàn zài yě bù néng shù shǒu dài bì 。
开弓没有回头箭，无论如何，他现在也不能束手待毙。
There was no turning back once an arrow was shot; under any circumstances, he could not sit and wait to die now.
shì chéng qí hǔ ， jiù shì zhè ge dào lǐ 。
势成骑虎，就是这个道理。
This was the principle of being forced onto a tiger’s back.
tiān yōu guǐ shèng de chǔ jìng bù miào yǐ jí 。
天幽鬼圣的处境不妙以极。
Tianyou Ghost Saint's situation was extremely precarious.
ér lìng yī biān ， zú zú shù bǎi dào jiàn qì ， yǐ lái dào nà lì guǐ de shēn cè 。
而另一边，足足数百道剑气，已来到那厉鬼的身侧。
On the other side, hundreds of sword qi had arrived at the ghost's side. The distance between them was only a few feet apart.
xiāng jù bù guò shù chǐ ér yǐ 。
相距不过数尺而已。
It seemed that with just one breath, they could easily eliminate their opponent.
fǎng fú yí gè hū xī ， jiù néng jiāng duì fāng qīng yì miè chú 。
仿佛一个呼吸，就能将对方轻易灭除。
However, right at this moment, something unbelievable happened.
rán ér piān piān jiù zài cǐ kè ， què fā shēng le bù kě sī yì de yí mù 。
然而偏偏就在此刻，却发生了不可思议的一幕。
A fierce light flashed in the ghost’s eyes as its figure became slightly blurry before it vanished into thin air.
nà guǐ wù yǎn zhōng xiōng máng yī shǎn ， shēn xíng lüè yī mó hú ， jìng píng kōng xiāo shī diào le 。
那鬼物眼中凶芒一闪，身形略一模糊，竟凭空消失掉了。
"What..."
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. The sharp sword qi naturally fell on empty space.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， rú cǐ yī lái ， xī lì de jiàn qì ， zì rán luò zài le kōng chù 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，如此一来，犀利的剑气，自然落在了空处。
Then spatial fluctuations suddenly arose. Behind Lin Xuan, a black arm emerged from the void.
suí hòu kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ ， què shì lín xuān de bèi hòu ， yǒu yī tiáo yǒu hēi de shǒu bì cóng xū kōng zhōng tàn chū 。
随后空间波动骤起，却是林轩的背后，有一条黝黑的手臂从虚空中探出。
Sizzle...
cī lā ……
刺啦……
The space was torn apart. The surface of that arm emitted dark light and actually grew by several times before fiercely grabbing Lin Xuan’s crown.
kōng jiān bèi sī pò ， nà shǒu bì biǎo miàn wū máng dà zuò ， jìng rán píng kōng bào zhǎng le bèi xǔ ， hěn hěn de xiàng lín xuān de tiān líng gài zhuā le xià qù 。
空间被撕破，那手臂表面乌芒大做，竟然凭空暴涨了倍许，狠狠的像林轩的天灵盖抓了下去。
Its nails were sharp, not inferior to those of a knife or sword. If this attack hit with full force, even if Lin Xuan did not perish, his body would surely be ruined.
kàn qí zhǐ jiǎ jiān lì ， bǐ zhī dāo jiàn yě bù xùn sè， zhè yī xià ruò shì zhuā dé shí le ， lín xuān zòng bù yǔn luò ， ròu shēn kǒng pà yě dé bào fèi diào le 。
看其指甲尖利，比之刀剑也不逊sè，这一下若是抓得实了，林轩纵不陨落，肉身恐怕也得报废掉了。
What a ferocious move.
hǎo xiōng hèng de zhāo shù 。
好凶横的招数。
Yet he was currently controlling the Immortal Sword Diagram and could not dodge either.
piān piān zì jǐ zhèng zài kòng zhì xiān jiàn tú ， yě bù yí duǒ 。
偏偏自己正在控制仙剑图，也不宜躲。
Otherwise, the opponent might snatch his treasures.
fǒu zé duì fāng shuō bù dìng huì qiǎng duó zì jǐ de bǎo wù 。
否则对方说不定会抢夺自己的宝物。
After all, although先天灵宝were powerful beyond measure, they had no soul imprint between cultivators. Whoever held them could use them as long as they mastered the Treasure Art.
yào zhī dào xiān tiān líng bǎo wēi lì gù rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rán ér yǔ xiū shì zhī jiān ， què bú huì yǒu líng hún yìn jì yī shuō ， shuí ná zài shǒu lǐ ， zhǐ yào xiū liàn le tōng bǎo jué ， dōu néng gòu shǐ yòng 。
要知道先天灵宝威力固然非同小可，然而与修士之间，却不会有灵魂印记一说，谁拿在手里，只要修炼了通宝诀，都能够使用。
What a two-for-one strategy.
hǎo gè yī shí èr niǎo zhī cè 。
好个一石二鸟之策。
Unfortunately, even though he had planned well, Lin Xuan was not clay or paper.
kě xī tā de rú yì suàn pán dǎ dé suī hǎo ， zì jǐ què yě bú shì ní sù zhǐ hú 。
可惜他的如意算盘打得虽好，自己却也不是泥塑纸糊。
A trace of mockery appeared on his face. He showed no fear and neither dodged nor summoned any defensive treasures.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī jī cháo zhī sè。
林轩的脸上闪过一丝讥嘲之sè。
His composure left Tianyou Ghost Saint utterly perplexed.
sī háo wèi jù yě wú ， jì méi yǒu duǒ ， yě méi yǒu jì chū rèn hé fáng yù de bǎo wù 。
丝毫畏惧也无，既没有躲，也没有祭出任何防御的宝物。
The opponent’s calmness suggested that they intended to use their body to withstand the terrifying attack?
tā rú cǐ zhèn dìng ， dào ràng tiān yōu guǐ shèng zhàng èr hé shàng mō bù zháo tóu nǎo le 。
他如此镇定，倒让天幽鬼圣丈二和尚摸不着头脑了。
Even a late-stage cultivator would never dare do so unless they had a domain.
duì fāng zhè me zhèn dìng ， yì yù rú hé ， zǒng bù chéng shì xiǎng yào yòng ròu shēn ， yìng káng zì jǐ kě pà de zhāo shù ？
对方这么镇定，意yù如何，总不成是想要用肉身，硬扛自己可怕的招数？
Before he could fully process this thought, the answer was revealed.
jiù suàn shì dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， chú fēi shì yōng yǒu lǐng yù ， fǒu zé wú lùn rú hé ， yě jué bù gǎn zhè me tuō dà de 。
就算是渡劫后期的修仙者，除非是拥有领域，否则无论如何，也绝不敢这么托大的。
Lin Xuan was not unaware of his own life and death. He already had a应对之策in mind.
zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， mí dǐ jiù jiē xiǎo le 。
这个念头尚未转过，谜底就揭晓了。
He did not move or dodge.
lín xuān bìng fēi bù zhī sǐ huó 。
林轩并非不知死活。
However, behind him, golden light shone brightly.
ér shì xīn zhōng zǎo yǐ yǒu le yìng duì zhī cè 。
而是心中早已有了应对之策。
The dazzling golden light was even brighter than the sun.
tā què shí bù dòng yě bù duǒ 。
他确实不动也不躲。
Then it converged in the middle.
rán ér bèi hòu què shì jīn guāng dà zuò 。
然而背后却是金光大做。
A magnificent and dazzling figure appeared before their eyes.
yào mù de jīn guāng ， bǐ tài yáng hái yào míng liàng 。
耀目的金光，比太阳还要明亮。
Nine heads and eighteen arms.
suí hòu wǎng zhōng jiān yī jù 。
随后往中间一聚。
Each arm held a different pose. The expressions on the nine heads were also varied.
yī cuǐ càn jù dà de fǎ xiàng yìng rù dào le yǎn lián lǐ 。
一璀璨巨大的法相映入到了眼帘里。
But one thing was certain: this figure was incredibly powerful, far exceeding ordinary cultivators' expectations.
jiǔ tóu shí bā bì 。
九头十八臂。
Lin Xuan dared to ignore the opponent's attack because he indeed had support.
měi yī tiáo shǒu bì ， bǎi chū de zào xíng dōu shì gè bù xiāng tóng ， jiǔ kē tóu lú de biǎo qíng yě shì gè yì 。
每一条手臂，摆出的造型都是各不相同，九颗头颅的表情也是各异。
And after a millennium of cultivation, the Nine Heavens Divine Net Technique had reached the point where it could be used without his active control. This divine power could fend off enemies on its own.
dàn yǒu yì diǎn shì kěn dìng dì ， zhè fǎ xiàng qiáng dà yǐ jí ， yuǎn chāo pǔ tōng xiū shì de yù jì 。
但有一点是肯定地，这法相强大以极，远超普通修士的预计。
What’s so impressive about just one ghost claw?
lín xuān gǎn wú shì duì fāng de gōng jī ， guǒ rán shì yǒu yǐ zhàng dì 。
林轩敢无视对方的攻击，果然是有倚仗地。
The pose of the figure's arms varied. One arm moved slightly, fingers tightly clenched, and a fierce punch was delivered forward.
ér zhè jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng de mì shù ， lín xuān xiū liàn le qiān nián zhī jiǔ ， yě zǎo dào le biàn huà yóu xīn de dì bù ， gēn běn bù yòng tā qū cè ， cǐ shén tōng zì jǐ jiù kě yǐ yù dí le 。
而这九天神罗相的秘术，林轩修炼了千年之久，也早到了变化由心的地步，根本不用他驱策，此神通自己就可以御敌了。
Bang!
qū qū yī zhī guǐ zhǎo ， yǒu shén me liǎo bù qǐ 。
区区一只鬼爪，有什么了不起。
A burst of sound filled their ears as fist and palm collided, instantly shattering the ghost claw to pieces.
zhǐ jiàn fǎ xiàng shǒu bì de zī shì gè yì ， qí zhōng yī tiáo shǒu bì ， dòng zuò lüè yī mó hú ， wǔ zhǐ jǐn wò ， hěn hěn yī quán xiàng qián dǎ chū 。
只见法相手臂的姿势各异，其中一条手臂，动作略一模糊，五指紧握，狠狠一拳向前打出。
Lin Xuan had never feared such confrontations. A smug smile appeared on his face. Deep in his eyes, silver light shone as the Celestial Wind Divine Eye was precisely summoned at this moment.
pēng ！
嘭！
The opponent seemed skilled in concealment techniques, but before his divine eye power, it was merely showing off in front of a master.
bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， quán zhǎng xiāng chù ， nà guǐ zhǎo lì kè bèi cuī kū lā xiǔ de dǎ suì diào le 。
爆裂声传入耳朵，拳掌相触，那鬼爪立刻被摧枯拉朽的打碎掉了。
Sure enough, Lin Xuan quickly detected its whereabouts.
yǐ yìng pèng yìng ， lín xuān hé zēng pà guò 。
以硬碰硬，林轩何曾怕过。
He clasped his hands together. Several sharp sword qi shot towards one direction.
tā de liǎn shàng lù chū dé yì de xiào róng ， móu dǐ shēn chù ， què shì yín máng dà zuò ， tiān fēng shén mù ， què qià dào hǎo chù fǎng fú shī zhǎn ér chū 。
他的脸上露出得意的笑容，眸底深处，却是银芒大做，天风神目，却恰到好处仿佛施展而出。
"Bang bang bang."
nà guǐ wù sì hū shàn cháng yǐn nì yǎn cáng zhī shù ， rán ér zài zì jǐ de líng mù shén tōng miàn qián ， bù guò shì bān mén nòng fǔ 。
那鬼物似乎擅长隐匿掩藏之术，然而在自己的灵目神通面前，不过是班门弄斧。
To everyone's surprise, they all struck empty air.
guǒ rán lín xuān hěn kuài jiù chá jué dào le tā de xià luò 。
果然林轩很快就察觉到了它的下落。
However, Tianyou Ghost Saint saw this and his face turned pale. Unfortunately, he was now like a clay figure in the rain—hard-pressed to save himself as sharp sword light surrounded him.
shuāng shǒu yī hé 。
双手一合。
Lin Xuan’s attacks quickly revealed their intent.
zhǐ jiàn jǐ dào xī lì de jiàn qì cháo zhe yí gè fāng xiàng jī shè。
只见几道犀利的剑气朝着一个方向激shè。
Spatial rifts appeared, revealing the green-faced ghost creature hidden within.
“ pēng pēng pēng 。”
“嘭嘭嘭。”
This fellow actually excelled at spatial techniques; no wonder he could vanish so effortlessly just now.
chū hū yù liào de ， dōu pī zài kōng wú yì rén zhī chù 。
出乎预料的，都劈在空无一人之处。
But using such techniques before his eyes was sheer showmanship.
rán ér tiān yōu guǐ shèng kàn jiàn zhè yí mù ， què shì liǎn sè dà biàn le ， kě xī tā xiàn zài yǐ shì ní pú sà guò jiāng ， zì shēn nán bǎo ， bèi xī lì de jiàn guāng ， tuán tuán wéi zhù 。
然而天幽鬼圣看见这一幕，却是脸sè大变了，可惜他现在已是泥菩萨过江，自身难保，被犀利的剑光，团团围住。
Lin Xuan's lips curled with mockery. He did not care about finding it and left it to the divine figure to deal with it.
lín xuān de gōng jī ， hěn kuài jiù xiǎn shì chū le tā de yì tú 。
林轩的攻击，很快就显示出了他的意图。
The Nine Heavens Divine Net Technique did not hesitate either.
kōng jiān liè fèng ， fú xiàn ér chū ， nà qīng miàn liáo yá de guǐ wù ， jiù cáng zài qí zhōng 。
空间裂缝，浮现而出，那青面獠牙的鬼物，就藏在其中。
Golden light shone all over as he charged forward viciously.
zhè jiā huo ， jū rán shàn cháng kōng jiān mì shù ， guài shuō bù dé ， gāng cái néng zhè me píng kōng xiāo shī diào le 。
这家伙，居然擅长空间秘术，怪说不得，刚才能这么凭空消失掉了。
Eighteen arms held different poses, each grasping a suitable treasure.
bù guò zài zì jǐ miàn qián shī zhǎn ， chún shǔ bān mén nòng fǔ 。
不过在自己面前施展，纯属班门弄斧。
They fiercely rushed towards the opponent.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān mǎn shì jī cháo zhī sè。
林轩嘴角边满是讥嘲之sè。
As for the nine heads, some shot beams of light from their eyes while others spat out thunderbolts. They were busy killing the ghost.
jiāng qí zhǎo chū lái ， yě jiù bù guǎn le ， rèn yóu fǎ xiàng duì fù 。
将其找出来，也就不管了，任由法相对付。
Lin Xuan's face showed no trace of surprise.
jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng yě bù hán hù 。
九天神罗相也不含糊。
His divine power was well understood by him. While the Nine Heavens Divine Net Technique might not be sufficient to deal with a true late-stage cultivator, the current ghost was merely a few souls, and confronting it head-on would only bring unnecessary trouble.
hún shēn jīn guāng dà zuò ， è hěn hěn de jiù chōng shàng qù le 。
浑身金光大做，恶狠狠的就冲上去了。
This must be their trump card.
shí bā shǒu bì zī shì gè bù xiāng tóng ， dàn shǒu zhǎng zhōng ， jiē wò yǒu chèn shǒu de bǎo wù 。
十八手臂姿势各不相同，但手掌中，皆握有趁手的宝物。
Fortunately, he calmly broke through it. Lin Xuan felt pleased but did not slacken his attack on Tianyou Ghost Saint.
dāo qiāng jiàn jǐ ， náng kuò le shí bā bān bīng qì 。
刀枪剑戟，囊括了十八般兵器。
Although they could not claim to be势如破竹, the dozen or so defensive treasures the opponent had summoned were indeed extraordinary.
è hěn hěn de chōng zhe duì fāng shā le guò qù 。
恶狠狠的冲着对方杀了过去。
Even if they were先天灵宝, some obstruction would still occur. But what of it? It merely delayed a bit more time.
zhì yú jiǔ kē tóu lú ， huò yǎn jīng zhōng pēn shè chū guāng zhù ， huò zuǐ bā zhōng tǔ chū léi huǒ ， yě méi yǒu xián zhe ， yī shí jiān ， jiāng nà lì guǐ shā le gè shǒu máng jiǎo luàn 。
至于九颗头颅，或眼睛中喷shè出光柱，或嘴巴中吐出雷火，也没有闲着，一时间，将那厉鬼杀了个手忙脚乱。
In just half a cup of tea’s time, only that mysterious turtle shell remained as the last layer of defense.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng háo wú yì wài zhī sè。
林轩的脸上毫无意外之sè。
A Heavenly Treasure!
zì jǐ de shén tōng ， zì jǐ zuì qīng chǔ ， jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng duì shàng zhēn zhèng de dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， gù rán shì lì yǒu bù dài de ， rán ér yǎn qián de lì guǐ ， bù guò shì xiē xǔ hún pò ， yǔ jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng yìng pèng yìng ， kě jiù shì zì tǎo kǔ chī le 。
自己的神通，自己最清楚，九天神罗相对上真正的渡劫期老怪物，固然是力有不殆的，然而眼前的厉鬼，不过是些许魂魄，与九天神罗相硬碰硬，可就是自讨苦吃了。
It should be the hard shell of some monster, refined with numerous precious treasures.
xiǎng lái zhè yǐ shì duì fāng yā xiāng dǐ de zhāo shù 。
想来这已是对方压箱底的招数。
Its durability was beyond question.
kě xī hái shì bèi zì jǐ cóng róng pò chú ， lín xuān dé yì zhī yú ， yě méi yǒu fàng sōng duì tiān yōu guǐ shèng de gōng shì 。
可惜还是被自己从容破除，林轩得意之余，也没有放松对天幽鬼圣的攻势。
However, even先天灵宝were not so easily dealt with. As time passed, countless scratches appeared on its surface. Although it had not been broken, the spiritual veins on its surface also dimmed significantly.
suī tán bù shàng shì rú pò zhú ， bì jìng duì fāng jì chū de zhè shí yú jiàn yòng yú fáng hù de bǎo wù ， yě zì yǒu qí bù fán zhī chù 。
虽谈不上势如破竹，毕竟对方祭出的这十余件用于防护的宝物，也自有其不凡之处。
Dammit!
jí biàn shì xiān tiān líng bǎo ， duō shǎo yě huì shòu dào yī xiē zǔ gé ， bù guò nà yòu rú hé ， bù guò duō tuō yán yì diǎn shí jiān bà le 。
即便是先天灵宝，多少也会受到一些阻隔，不过那又如何，不过多拖延一点时间罢了。
Tianyou Ghost Saint's face turned extremely ugly. This was his last layer of defense. If this were breached, he would have to face a先天灵宝.
zhuǎn yǎn ， yǐ guò qù le bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu 。
转眼，已过去了半盏茶的功夫。
However, what frustrated him most was that after such a long time, the Yin Cloud Pearl still could not break through the Nine Palaces Moment Sword Technique.
duì fāng suǒ jì chū de bǎo wù ， zhǐ shèng xià le nà shén mì de guī ké 。
对方所祭出的宝物，只剩下了那神秘的龟壳。
Dammit, he had never found it so difficult to refine another cultivator's innate treasure before. What was going on?
xuán tiān zhī bǎo ！
玄天之宝！
Tianyou Ghost Saint was both angry and anxious. If this continued, his fate would be irreversible.
yīng gāi shì mǒu zhǒng yāo shòu de yìng ké ， jiā yǐ zhū duō qí zhēn yì bǎo liàn zhì chū lái de 。
应该是某种妖兽的硬壳，加以诸多奇珍异宝炼制出来的。
His heart was filled with不甘心.
qí jiān gù chéng dù bù yòng tí 。
其坚固程度不用提。
But what use did such unwillingness serve? The cultivation world spoke in terms of strength. This suddenly appearing human cultivator was too powerful.
rán ér xiān tiān líng bǎo yòu qǐ shì nà me hǎo xiāng yǔ ， suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， qí biǎo miàn yǐ duō chū huà hén wú shù ， suī rán méi yǒu bèi pò chú ， dàn biǎo miàn de líng mài ， yì àn dàn le xǔ duō 。
然而先天灵宝又岂是那么好相与，随着时间的推移，其表面已多出划痕无数，虽然没有被破除，但表面的灵脉，亦黯淡了许多。
Too overwhelming that it left him flustered.
kě wù ！
可恶！
"Break for me!"
tiān yōu guǐ shèng de liǎn sè， dùn shí nán kàn dào le wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
天幽鬼圣的脸sè，顿时难看到了无以复加的地步。
The opponent was at a loss, but Lin Xuan would not let this opportunity slip away. He rapidly waved his hands and released a series of spells from his fingertips. (To be continued.)
Such speed could not be called势如破竹, but it was certainly praiseworthy.
The face of Tianyou Ghost Saint turned extremely ugly. Despite trying every possible method to share the pressure, he still ended up with such a result in the end.
However, he did not give up. As long as he could refine the opponent's innate treasure, there was still a chance for victory.
There was no turning back once an arrow was shot; under any circumstances, he could not sit and wait to die now.
This was the principle of being forced onto a tiger’s back.
Tianyou Ghost Saint's situation was extremely precarious.
On the other side, hundreds of sword qi had arrived at the ghost's side. The distance between them was only a few feet apart.
It seemed that with just one breath, they could easily eliminate their opponent.
