zhè dào lǐ ， lín xuān xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， ér tā yě méi yǒu shí jiān ， yǔ zhè xiē dī jiē liàn shī màn màn xiāo mó 。
这道理，林轩心里有数，而他也没有时间，与这些低阶炼尸慢慢消磨。
This logic, Lin Xuan understood well. He had no time to waste on these low-grade Corpse Refiners.
xiù páo yī fú ， dàn jiàn líng guāng dà zuò ， yī bǐng bǐng dàn yín sè de jiàn qì zài xū kōng zhōng fú xiàn ér chū 。
袖袍一拂，但见灵光大做，一柄柄淡银色的剑气在虚空中浮现而出。
With a wave of his sleeve robe, an overwhelming amount of silver-colored sword qi appeared in the void. The number was staggering—thousands upon thousands.
shù liàng jí wéi lí pǔ ， jū rán yǒu chéng qiān shàng wàn zhī shù 。
数量极为离谱，居然有成千上万之数。
Of course, these weren't his命宝 (Treasured Items), just illusions conjured by his spiritual energy.
zhè xiē dāng rán bú shì lín xuān de mìng bǎo wù ， zhǐ bù guò shì fǎ lì huàn huà chū lái de jiàn qì xū yǐng bà le 。
这些当然不是林轩的命宝物，只不过是法力幻化出来的剑气虚影罢了。
For dealing with peers, perhaps they could be somewhat effective, but what did a few low-grade Corpse Refiners matter? He didn’t need to summon any treasures; the sword qi he casually condensed was enough.
yòng yú duì fù tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， huò xǔ lì yǒu bù dài zhī chù ， dàn yǎn qián qū qū yī xiē dī jiē liàn shī yòu suàn dé le shén me ， gēn wú xū lín xuān jì chū bǎo wù ， suí shǒu níng jié ér chū de jiàn qì yǐ zú yǐ yìng fù 。
用于对付同阶修仙者，或许力有不殆之处，但眼前区区一些低阶炼尸又算得了什么，根无需林轩祭出宝物，随手凝结而出的剑气已足以应付。
"Fall!"
“ luò ！”
“落！”
With Lin Xuan's shout, sword light rained down on the city walls ahead.
bàn suí zhe lín xuān yī shēng dà hē ， jiàn máng rú yǔ ， xiàng zhe qián fāng de chéng tóu fēn luò ér qù 。
伴随着林轩一声大喝，剑芒如雨，向着前方的城头纷落而去。
The惨叫声 (screams) echoed as the army of Corpse Refiners was swept away in an instant. Wherever the sword qi passed, there were no opponents.
yī shí jiān ， cǎn jiào shēng dà zuò ， qǐng kè jiān shī wáng dà jūn jiù bèi héng sǎo diào yī piàn le ， jiàn qì suǒ guò zhī chù ， jū rán wú yī hé zhī dí 。
一时间，惨叫声大做，顷刻间尸王大军就被横扫掉一片了，剑气所过之处，居然无一合之敌。
The high-grade Corpse Refiners were alarmed and released their divine senses.
nà xiē gāo jiē liàn shī dà jīng shī sè ， fēn fēn jiāng shén niàn yī fàng ér chū 。
那些高阶炼尸大惊失色，纷纷将神念一放而出。
"Transcendent Realm cultivators! And two of them!"
“ dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě ， ér qiě yǒu liǎng gè ！”
“渡劫期修仙者，而且有两个！”
Their faces turned ugly, but soon they realized one of them was none other than the reincarnation of that Arhats King.
tā men de liǎn sè bù yóu de nán kàn yǐ jí ， dàn hěn kuài jiù fā xiàn qí zhōng yí gè ， bù zhèng shì nà ā xiū luó wáng de zhuǎn shì zhě 。
他们的脸色不由得难看以极，但很快就发现其中一个，不正是那阿修罗王的转世者。
If she could be decapitated, the reward from Jin Yue's Corpse Queen would allow her to leap a whole realm.
ruò néng qǔ xià tā de tóu lú ， jīn yuè shī wáng de jiǎng lì kě shì néng ràng qí píng kōng tí shēng yí gè dà jìng jiè hái duō 。
若能取下她的头颅，金玥尸王的奖励可是能让其凭空提升一个大境界还多。
With this thought, those high-grade Corpse Refiners revealed extremely greedy expressions.
yī niàn zhì cǐ ， nà xiē gāo jiē liàn shī ， wú bù lù chū jí qí tān lán de shén sè 。
一念至此，那些高阶炼尸，无不露出极其贪婪的神色。
A great reward must have brave warriors. Although the risks were significant, the potential rewards were too tempting to ignore.
zhòng shǎng zhī xià bì yǒu yǒng fū ， zhè yī zhàn de fēng xiǎn suī fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rán ér huí bào yě shì ràng rén wú fǎ bù dòng xīn de 。
重赏之下必有勇夫，这一战的风险虽非同小可，然而回报也是让人无法不动心的。
Let’s go!
pīn le ！
拼了！
Although he couldn’t let Moon pass, they wouldn’t engage in such foolish head-on battles.
suī rán xiǎng zhe bù néng jiāng yuè ér fàng guò ， dàn yìng pèng yìng zhè yàng de chǔn shì ， tā men zì rán bú huì qù zuò 。
虽然想着不能将月儿放过，但硬碰硬这样的蠢事，他们自然不会去做。
First, let these low-grade zombies deplete their spiritual energy.
xiān ràng nà xiē dī jiē xíng shī xiāo hào diào liǎng rén de fǎ lì zài shuō 。
先让那些低阶行尸消耗掉两人的法力再说。
Thoughts aligned among the Corpse Marshals as they took out their command flags.
shī jiāng men de niàn tou xiāng chà fǎng fú ， bù yuē ér tóng de jiāng gè zì de lìng qí qǔ chū 。
尸将们的念头相差仿佛，不约而同的将各自的令旗取出。
With a wave of their hands, fierce roars echoed. The copper-armored and iron-armored zombies surged like a fountain towards Lin Xuan and Moon.
lüè yī huī wǔ ， dùn shí lì hǒu shēng dà zuò ， nà xiē tóng jiǎ shī ， tiě jiǎ shī rú quán shuǐ pēn bó ， cháo zhe lín xuān liǎng rén fēng yōng ér qù le 。
略一挥舞，顿时厉吼声大做，那些铜甲尸，铁甲尸如泉水喷薄，朝着林轩两人蜂拥而去了。
The ghostly tide rolled, the zombie waves towering. In an instant, Lin Xuan was surrounded by layers upon layers of zombies.
guǐ cháo kuáng juǎn ， shī làng tāo tiān 。 lín xuān jī hū shì yī zhǎ yǎn ， jiù bèi wéi kùn zài le céng céng dié dié de dà jūn lǐ miàn 。
鬼潮狂卷，尸浪滔天。林轩几乎是一眨眼，就被围困在了层层叠叠的大军里面。
They abandoned other parts of the city, focusing all their efforts to exterminate him here.
tā men jìng jiāng chéng chí de qí tā dì fāng fàng qì ， jí zhōng quán lì ， xiǎng yào jiāng lín xuān yuè ér miè shā yú zhè lǐ 。
他们竟将城池的其他地方放弃，集中全力，想要将林轩月儿灭杀于这里。
"Stupid. Wanting to win with numbers? "
“ chǔn huò 。 xiǎng yào yǐ duō wèi shèng me ？”
“蠢货。想要以多为胜么？”
Lin Xuan’s lips curled in a mocking smile. Such tactics might be useful against other Transcendent Realm cultivators, but before him, they were as foolish as a carp trying to play chess—utterly ridiculous.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè ， zhè yàng de zhāo shù ， yòng yú duì fù bié de dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě ， duō shǎo huò xǔ hái huì yǒu yī xiē yòng tú 。 dàn zài zì jǐ miàn qián ， bù guò shì lǔ bān mén qián shuǎ dà fǔ ， yú chǔn dào wú yǐ fù jiā de chéng dù 。
林轩嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲之色，这样的招数，用于对付别的渡劫期修仙者，多少或许还会有一些用途。但在自己面前，不过是鲁班门前耍大斧，愚蠢到无以复加的程度。
"We'll see who has more followers!"
“ yǐ duō wèi shèng ， hǎo 。 wǒ men jiù kàn shéi de shǒu xià gèng duō ！”
“倚多为胜，好。我们就看谁的手下更多！”
With a wave of his sleeve robe, colorful spiritual light flashed, revealing a small and delicate tower.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， dàn jiàn wǔ yán liù sè de líng guāng shǎn guò ， yī líng lóng xiǎo qiǎo de bǎo tǎ fú xiàn ér chū 。
林轩袖袍一拂，但见五颜六色的灵光闪过，一玲珑小巧的宝塔浮现而出。
The Tower of Ten Thousand Souls. No, perhaps calling it the Tower of Ten Thousand Spirits was more fitting.
wàn hún tǎ 。 bù 。 huò zhě jiào wàn líng tǎ gèng jiā de shì hé 。
万魂塔。不。或者叫万灵塔更加的适合。
This too was a divine treasure!
zhè yě shì yī jiàn tōng tiān líng bǎo ！
这也是一件通天灵宝！
But it couldn’t be used for combat; instead, as an auxiliary tool to breed spirit beasts and insects with exceptional efficiency.
rán ér què bù néng yòng yú duì dí ， ér shì fǔ zhù de qì wù ， yòng yú sì yǎng líng shòu líng chóng yǒu zhe shì bàn gōng bèi de xiào guǒ 。
然而却不能用于对敌，而是辅助的器物，用于饲养灵兽灵虫有着事半功倍的效果。
In his memory, he hadn't used this in a long time. Not because he had forgotten it, but simply didn't need it often enough. Now seemed like the right moment.
jì yì zhōng ， zì jǐ duì dí de shí hòu ， sì hū yǐ jīng hǎo jiǔ méi yòng 。
记忆中，自己对敌的时候，似乎已经好久没用。
Lin Xuan’s sleeve robe waved again, sending out a heart refinement method.
bìng bú shì wàng le cǐ wù ， ér shì hěn duō shí hòu ， gēn jiù yòng bù zhe 。 ér yǎn qián ， shí jī sì hū bù cuò 。
并不是忘了此物，而是很多时候，根就用不着。而眼前，时机似乎不错。
As he moved, colorful spiritual light flashed, and the small tower grew to over ten feet tall.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào fǎ jué yóu zhǐ zhǎng jiān jī shè ér chū 。
林轩袖袍一拂，一道法诀由指掌间激射而出。
In an instant, its size increased by more than a hundred times, transforming into a towering monster. Then, without hesitation, Lin Xuan pointed his finger.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， wǔ sè líng guāng yī shǎn ， nà chǐ xǔ gāo de xiǎo tǎ yíng fēng kuáng zhǎng qǐ lái 。
随着他的动作，五色灵光一闪，那尺许高的小塔迎风狂涨起来。
A blood-red cloud emerged from the tower with a creaking sound.
qǐng kè zhī jiān ， jiù biàn dà le bǎi bèi yǒu yú ， huà wèi le yī gāo shí yú zhàng de páng rán dà wù ， suí hòu lín xuān zài bù huāng bù máng de yī zhǐ diǎn chū 。
顷刻之间，就变大了百倍有余，化为了一高十余丈的庞然大物，随后林轩再不慌不忙的一指点出。
No, it wasn’t a cloud but a swarm of densely packed spirit insects—Bloodfire Ants!
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ，“ zhī ya ” yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì tǎ mén hōng rán dǎ kāi ， yī duǒ xuè hóng sè de yún cǎi yóu lǐ miàn fēi le chū lái 。
随着他的动作，“吱呀”一声传入耳朵，却是塔门轰然打开，一朵血红色的云彩由里面飞了出来。
One of the two spirit insects he raised.
bú duì ， zhè bú shì yún cǎi ， ér shì yóu mì mì má má de líng chóng zǔ chéng de 。
不对，这不是云彩，而是由密密麻麻的灵虫组成的。
Though Jade Silk Bees weren't suitable for combat in such situations, Bloodfire Ants, though individually weak, had unparalleled reproductive capabilities.
xuè huǒ yǐ ！
血火蚁！
And Lin Xuan didn’t lack crystal stones; with no natural enemies in the Tower of Ten Thousand Souls, their numbers had grown to almost infinite over these years.
lín xuān sì yǎng de liǎng zhǒng líng chóng zhī yī 。
林轩饲养的两种灵虫之一。
Well, that was an exaggeration. But he estimated that his Bloodfire Ants numbered in the billions.
yù luó fēng dāng rán bú shì hé zài zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià duì dí ， ér xuè huǒ yǐ dān gè de shí lì suī rán bù zhí yī tí ， dàn fán zhí lì què shì wú yǐ lún bǐ 。
玉罗蜂当然不适合在这种情况下对敌，而血火蚁单个的实力虽然不值一提，但繁殖力却是无以伦比。
They weren't needed much, but now it was time for them to unleash their full power.
piān piān lín xuān yòu bù quē jīng shí ， wàn hún tǎ zhōng méi yǒu tiān dí ， gù ér jīng guò zhè xiē nián de fán zhí ， shù liàng jī hū dào le wú qióng de jìng dì 。
偏偏林轩又不缺晶石，万魂塔中没有天敌，故而经过这些年的繁殖，数量几乎到了无穷的境地。
Thus, facing Jin Yue's army, Lin Xuan released the Bloodfire Ants with a decisive gesture.
ń ， zhè ge shuō fǎ kuā zhāng le ， dàn lín xuān gū jì ， rú jīn zì jǐ yōng yǒu de xuè huǒ yǐ ， kǒng pà yǐ yǒu shù bǎi yì 。
嗯，这个说法夸张了，但林轩估计，如今自己拥有的血火蚁，恐怕已有数百亿。
Winning by numbers?
píng shí yě yòng bù zhe ， rú jīn zhèng hǎo shì tā men dà chěng mó wēi de shí kè 。
平时也用不着，如今正好是它们大逞魔威的时刻。
Haha, we’ll see whose followers are more numerous.
yú shì miàn duì jīn yuè shī wáng de dà jūn ， lín xuān gān cuì lì luò de fàng chū le xuè huǒ yǐ 。
于是面对金玥尸王的大军，林轩干脆利落的放出了血火蚁。
Lin Xuan’s lips curled into a smile as the buzzing sound filled the air. Everywhere he looked, Bloodfire Ants with fierce expressions swarmed.
yǐ duō wèi shèng ？
倚多为胜？
Zombies fear neither life nor death?
hēi hēi ， wǒ men dào yào kàn kàn shuí shǒu xià de shù liàng gèng duō yī xiē 。
嘿嘿，我们倒要看看谁手下的数量更多一些。
Ha, my lord raised these insects who naturally know no fear.
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， ér nà wēng míng shēng yǐ shì pū tiān gài dì ， mù guāng suǒ jí ， dào chù dōu shì miàn mù zhēng níng de xuè huǒ yǐ 。
林轩的嘴角边流露出一丝笑意，而那嗡鸣声已是铺天盖地，目光所及，到处都是面目狰狞的血火蚁。
The insect cloud fiercely attacked the army of Corpse Refiners.
xíng shī bù wèi shēng sǐ ？
行尸不畏生死？
With a surge of malevolent energy and zombie energy, it was like two giant waves colliding.
hēng ， shào yé yǎng de mó chóng cái tiān shēng jiù bù zhī dào shén me jiào zuò wèi jù 。
哼，少爷养的魔虫才天生就不知道什么叫做畏惧。
Despite their ferocity, the zombies were helpless against the overwhelming numbers of Bloodfire Ants. In just one round, the army of Corpse Refiners was completely obliterated.
chóng yún è hěn hěn de xiàng zhe shī wáng dà jūn pū le guò qù 。
虫云恶狠狠的向着尸王大军扑了过去。
The number of Bloodfire Ants was too great!
yī biān lì qì pēn bó ， yī biān shī qì chōng tiān ， jiù rú tóng liǎng gǔ jù làng ， è hěn hěn de zhuàng zài le yì qǐ 。
一边戾气喷薄，一边尸气冲天，就如同两股巨浪，恶狠狠的撞在了一起。
This truly showed that evil met its match in evil. Those who wanted to win by numbers ended up in this situation.
jiāng shī gù rán hàn bù wèi sǐ ， kě miàn duì shù liàng gèng duō de xuè huǒ yǐ ， yě xiǎn de méi zhé ， bù guò yí gè zhào miàn de gōng fu ， shī wáng dà jūn jiù bèi chè dǐ yān mò 。
僵尸固然悍不畏死，可面对数量更多的血火蚁，也显得没辙，不过一个照面的功夫，尸王大军就被彻底湮没。
Furious!
xuè huǒ yǐ de shù liàng tài duō ！
血火蚁的数量太多！
Hundreds of Corpse Marshals were dumbfounded.
zhè zhēn shì è rén zì yǒu è rén mó ， yuán xiǎng yào yǐ duō wèi shèng de ， méi xiǎng dào zuì hòu ， què luò dào zhè bān dì bù 。
这真是恶人自有恶人磨，原想要倚多为胜的，没想到最后，却落到这般地步。
Even Moon was speechless, originally wanting to help her lord but now realizing his methods were beyond the heavens.
kě wù ！
可恶！
The驱虫术 (Insect Repelling Technique) wasn’t new for them as high-grade cultivators, but throughout the three realms and across history, no one had ever raised so many spirit insects. His methods truly astounded.
nà shù bǎi míng shī jiāng yí gè gè mù dèng kǒu dāi le 。
那数百名尸将一个个目瞪口呆了。
Moon’s joy turned to admiration, but her desire to help waned. The hundreds of Corpse Marshals shivered; without the support of the army of Corpse Refiners, they couldn’t even deal with two Transcendent Realm cultivators, let alone the defenders of the city who would easily overwhelm them.
biàn shì yuè ér yě chēng mù jié shé ， yuán hái xiǎng yào bāng shào yé yī bǎ ， méi xiǎng dào tā de shǒu duàn què nì tiān dào rú cǐ chéng dù 。
便是月儿也瞠目结舌，原还想要帮少爷一把，没想到他的手段却逆天到如此程度。
Indeed, without Lin Xuan’s command, the city defenders rejoiced and launched a counterattack. After suffering so much during the siege, they were eager to take revenge on Jin Yue's army now trapped by Bloodfire Ants.
qū chóng shù ， duì yú tā men zhè zhǒng děng jí de xiū xiān zhě ， zì rán bù suàn shén me xīn xiān de dōng xī le 。
驱虫术，对于他们这种等级的修仙者，自然不算什么新鲜的东西了。
The opportunity must not be missed!
rán ér fàng yǎn sān jiè ， zòng héng jīn gǔ ， nǎ ér yǒu yí gè rén sì yǎng líng chóng de shù mù ， duō dào rú cǐ chéng dù ， shào yé de shǒu duàn ， guǒ rán tài liǎo bù qǐ le 。
然而放眼三界，纵横今古，哪儿有一个人饲养灵虫的数目，多到如此程度，少爷的手段，果然太了不起了。
Thus, the awe-inspiring battle cries echoed again.
yuè ér huān xǐ zàn tàn zhī yú ， dào yě xī le bāng máng de xīn lǐ ， ér nà shù bǎi míng shī jiāng ， yí gè gè zé hún shēn fā hán le ， méi yǒu shī wáng dà jūn de xiāng zhù ， bié shuō duì fù liǎng míng dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， guāng shì shǒu chéng de xiū shì ， jiù zú yǐ jiāng tā men yān mò ， yǐ duō wèi shèng de sī chéng suì piàn le 。
月儿欢喜赞叹之余，倒也熄了帮忙的心理，而那数百名尸将，一个个则浑身发寒了，没有尸王大军的相助，别说对付两名渡劫级别的修仙者，光是守城的修士，就足以将他们淹没，倚多为胜的撕成碎片了。
Medallions of dark treasures flew, various colored light beams pierced through the air as over ten thousand cultivators of varying levels attacked. The hundreds of Corpse Marshals finally understood what it meant to be overwhelmed by ants.
guǒ rán ， bù yòng lín xuān zhāo hū ， nà xiē shǒu chéng de xiū shì yǐ shì huān xīn gǔ wǔ ， gāng cái de gōng chéng dà zhàn zhōng tā men chī le nà me duō kǔ ， cǐ kè shī wáng dà jūn bèi xuè huǒ yǐ chán zhù ， tā men dāng rán yào hǎo hǎo bào chóu yī fān le 。
果然，不用林轩招呼，那些守城的修士已是欢欣鼓舞，刚才的攻城大战中他们吃了那么多苦，此刻尸王大军被血火蚁缠住，他们当然要好好报仇一番了。
Though individually stronger, they couldn’t match Lin Xuan’s sweeping power. Moreover, while the defenders were weaker in numbers, there were still nearly a hundred spirit ghosts at the 分神 (Divine Spirit) level, making their defense impossible.
liáng jī bù róng cuò guò ！
良机不容错过！
Screams echoed as one after another was blasted to pieces.
yú shì dòng rén xīn pò de hǎn shā shēng zài cì chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
于是动人心魄的喊杀声再次传入耳朵。
As for Jin Yue's army, it too was reduced to a few remnants. Though the Bloodfire Ants suffered heavy losses, they were insignificant to Lin Xuan. With such reproductive capabilities, they could quickly replenish themselves.
dàn jiàn míng bǎo zòng héng ， fǎ qì fēi wǔ ， gè zhǒng yán sè de guāng zhù chuān kōng ér guò ， bèi shí yú wàn jìng jiè bù yī de xiū shì wéi gōng ， nà shù bǎi shī jiāng ， zhōng yú tǐ huì dào le shén me jiào zuò yǐ duō yǎo sǐ xiàng 。
但见冥宝纵横，法器飞舞，各种颜色的光柱穿空而过，被十余万境界不一的修士围攻，那数百尸将，终于体会到了什么叫做蚁多咬死象。
Thus, the siege battle ended. Would Medallion and the others fare well in their Transcendent Realm battles outside?
suī rán tā men dān gè de shí lì ， yào yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò ， dàn bì jìng méi dào lín xuān nà zhǒng néng gòu héng sǎo de dì bù 。
虽然他们单个的实力，要远远胜过，但毕竟没到林轩那种能够横扫的地步。
