suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， sì zhōu de tiān dì yuán qì ， biàn dé hùn luàn yǐ jí 。
随着他的动作，四周的天地元气，变得混乱以极。
As he moved, the surrounding heaven and earth's essence energy became extremely chaotic.
fāng yuán bǎi lǐ ， xū kōng yī piàn yī piàn de tā xiàn le xià qù 。
方圆百里，虚空一片一片的塌陷了下去。
A hundred miles around, patches of void space began to collapse.
kuáng fēng dà zuò ， què shì tiān dì yuán qì rú bǎi chuān rù hǎi ， xiàng zhe zhè biān fēng yōng le guò lái 。
狂风大做，却是天地元气如百川入海，像着这边蜂拥了过来。
Howling winds surged, as if the essence energy from all directions was rushing towards this place like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.
suí hòu huà wèi yí gè gè dà xiǎo bù yī de guāng diǎn 。
随后化为一个个大小不一的光点。
Following that, countless light points of varying sizes appeared.
wǔ sè líng máng fú xiàn ， mò rù le mó jiāo wáng de shēn tǐ lǐ miàn 。
五色灵芒浮现，没入了魔蛟王的身体里面。
Multicolored spiritual rays emerged and entered the body of the Demon Serpent King.
lǎo guài wù yáng qǐ tóu lú ， jīng tiān de páo xiāo shēng yóu tā de hóu lóng lǐ fā chū 。
老怪物扬起头颅，惊天的咆哮声由他的喉咙里发出。
The old monster raised its head, emitting a terrifying roar from its throat.
tā shēn tǐ zhōu wéi de mó qì ， biàn dé yuè fā de nóng yù ， yī tuán yào mù de hēi sè guāng yùn ， yóu tā shēn tǐ biǎo miàn téng shēng ér qǐ 。
他身体周围的魔气，变得越发的浓郁，一团耀目的黑色光晕，由他身体表面腾升而起。
The demon energy around his body became increasingly dense. A dazzling black aura rose from his surface.
guāng máng suàn bù shàng duō me yào yǎn cì mù ， rán ér suǒ yùn hán de líng yā què ràng rén lián qì dōu yào chuǎn bù guò lái le 。
光芒算不上多么耀眼刺目，然而所蕴含的灵压却让人连气都要喘不过来了。
While the light wasn't particularly eye-catching, the spiritual pressure it emitted made one's breath catch in their throat.
ér zài guāng yùn de biǎo miàn ， yī céng céng de wén zhèn yìng rù yǎn lián ， bù kě sī yì de shì ， líng guāng měi yī cì shǎn dòng jiān ， zǔ chéng zhè xiē fǎ zhèn de fú wén jìng rán yě gēn zhe biàn huàn ， qiě shāo yī níng shén xì kàn ， zhěng gè xīn shén dōu fǎng fú yào bèi xī rù qí jiān ， shí zài shì shēn ào shén mì dào le jí diǎn 。
而在光晕的表面，一层层的纹阵映入眼帘，不可思议的是，灵光每一次闪动间，组成这些法阵的符文竟然也跟着变幻，且稍一凝神细看，整个心神都仿佛要被吸入其间，实在是深奥神秘到了极点。
On the surface of this aura, layer upon layer of纹阵patterns could be seen. Astonishingly, every time the spiritual light flickered, the talismans that composed these arrays also changed. Upon closer inspection, one felt as if they were being drawn into it, its profundity and mystery reaching an extreme.
rán ér lín xuān què tóng kǒng wēi suō ， liǎn shàng quán shì yī piàn nán kàn zhī sè 。
然而林轩却瞳孔微缩，脸上全是一片难看之色。
However, Lin Xuan's pupils constricted, his expression filled with shock.
yǐ tā dòu fǎ jīng yàn zhī fēng fù ， rú hé bù xiǎo de ， zì jǐ cǐ kè ， miàn duì zhe de jiū jìng shì shén me 。
以他斗法经验之丰富，如何不晓得，自己此刻，面对着的究竟是什么。
With his extensive experience in combat, how could he not know what he was facing now?
yǎn qián zhè jiā huo yǎn jiàn dǎ bù guò ， jìng rán wán qǐ tóng guī yú jìn de bǎ xì lái le 。
眼前这家伙眼见打不过，竟然玩起同归于尽的把戏来了。
This guy clearly couldn't defeat him but was resorting to a mutual destruction tactic.
tā kě shì dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， yǐ jīng chāo tuō le shòu yuán de shù fù ， zěn me huì zhì zì jǐ de xiǎo mìng ér zhī bù gù ？
他可是渡劫后期的修仙者，已经超脱了寿元的束缚，怎么会置自己的小命儿之不顾？
He was a late-stage cultivation cultivator who had transcended the constraints of lifespan. How could he disregard his own life?
lín xuān de liǎn shàng mǎn shì chà rán zhī sè 。
林轩的脸上满是诧然之色。
Lin Xuan's expression was one of shock.
fàng yǎn sān jiè ， zòng héng jīn gǔ ， yě méi yǒu xiū shì huì duì zì jǐ de shēng mìng bù zài hū 。
放眼三界，纵横今古，也没有修士会对自己的生命不在乎。
In all three realms, throughout history and time, no cultivator would ever be indifferent towards their life.
gèng bú yào shuō ， hái shì hòu qī de cún zài le 。
更不要说，还是后期的存在了。
Especially not an advanced stage existence.
zhè bù fú hé cháng lǐ 。
这不符合常理。
This didn't make sense.
duì yú zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， lín xuān shì xiān wán quán méi yǒu yù jì 。
对于这种情况，林轩事先完全没有预计。
Lin Xuan hadn't anticipated this situation beforehand. While it might seem overly panicked to say so, he certainly wasn't without fear.
shuō zhāng huáng shī cuò huò xǔ yán zhī tài guò ， dàn yào shuō yì diǎn yě bù hài pà nà kěn dìng shì piàn rén dì 。
说张皇失措或许言之太过，但要说一点也不害怕那肯定是骗人地。
After all, facing a late-stage cultivation cultivator with overwhelming power, such a powerful old monster's self-destruction was no laughing matter.
kāi wán xiào ， dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， ér qiě shí lì hái yào shèng guò tóng jiē cún zài xǔ duō ， zhè yàng de lǎo guài wù zì bào ， nà kě bú shì nào zhe wán de 。
开玩笑，渡劫后期的修仙者，而且实力还要胜过同阶存在许多，这样的老怪物自爆，那可不是闹着玩的。
Even if Lin Xuan considered himself highly confident as a cultivator, he had little confidence in surviving under such terrifying power. But it was too late to retreat now.
jiù suàn lín xuān shì zì shì shèn gāo de xiū xiān zhě ， yě méi yǒu shén me xìn xīn néng zài zhè yàng kǒng bù de wēi néng xià cún huó 。 dàn zhè shí hòu zǒu ， xiǎn rán shì lái bù jí le 。
就算林轩是自视甚高的修仙者，也没有什么信心能在这样恐怖的威能下存活。但这时候走，显然是来不及了。
In this crisis, Lin Xuan's expression was grim.
dāng cǐ wēi jī ， lín xuān de liǎn sè nán kàn wú bǐ 。
当此危机，林轩的脸色难看无比。
But he didn't hesitate. A determined look flashed in his eyes.
dàn tā què bìng méi yǒu yóu yù ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī jué rán zhī yì 。
但他却并没有犹豫，眼中闪过一丝决然之意。
Attack!
gōng jī ！
攻击！
Lin Xuan raised both hands, and sword lights shot out from the edges of his palms.
lín xuān shuāng shǒu tái qǐ ， yī dào dào jiàn guāng yóu zhǎng yuán jī shè chū qù 。
林轩双手抬起，一道道剑光由掌缘激射出去。
Like shooting stars, like falling stars, they vanished as soon as they appeared, nearly reaching the Demon Serpent King.
rú liú xīng xù yǔ ， shì xīng guāng zhuì dì ， yī shǎn jí shì 。 biàn yǔ mó jiāo wáng jìn zài zhǐ chǐ 。
如流星絮羽，似星光坠地，一闪即逝。便与魔蛟王近在咫尺。
紧接着，一声娇叱声传入耳朵。Moon didn't have Lin Xuan's strong mental fortitude, so her reaction was naturally slower.
jǐn jiē zhe ， yī shēng jiāo chì shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yuè ér bù jí lín xuān yǒu zhe zhè me qiáng rèn de xīn lǐ sù zhì ， fǎn yìng zì rán yě jiù yào shāo màn yī xiē 。
紧接着，一声娇叱声传入耳朵，月儿不及林轩有着这么强韧的心理素质，反应自然也就要稍慢一些。
But she wasn't far behind. Following closely on Lin Xuan’s footsteps, she also initiated an attack.
dàn yě méi yǒu luò hòu tài duō ， jī hū shì jǐn suí zhe lín xuān de jiǎo bù ， yě fā dòng le gōng jī 。
但也没有落后太多，几乎是紧随着林轩的脚步，也发动了攻击。
However, it was futile.
rán ér méi yǒu yòng tú 。
然而没有用途。
Before their eyes, a miraculous scene unfolded. No matter how磅礴powerful Lin Xuan and Moon's techniques were, at this moment, they seemed to be like mud sinking into the sea.
yǎn qián chū xiàn le bù kě sī yì de yí mù 。
眼前出现了不可思议的一幕。
"Little fellow, struggling is useless. Come with me to the netherworld."
bù lùn lín xuān yǔ yuè ér de zhāo shù duō me páng bó 。 zhè zài zhè yī kè ， dōu fǎng fú shì ní niú rù hǎi le 。
不论林轩与月儿的招数多么磅礴。这在这一刻，都仿佛是泥牛入海了。
The Demon Serpent King’s cold laughter echoed in their ears, his face filled with mockery.
“ xiǎo jiā huo ， zhēng zhá méi yǒu yòng de ， guāi guāi de yǔ wǒ qù yīn cáo dì fǔ 。”
“小家伙，挣扎没有用的，乖乖的与我去阴曹地府。”
Despite losing this battle, the opponent couldn't escape the fate of soul and body dispersing. With a mere avatar destroying a powerful enemy, he was sure to come out ahead.
mó jiāo wáng lěng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì jī cháo zhī sè 。
魔蛟王冷笑的声音传入耳朵，脸上满是讥嘲之色。
Lin Xuan's expression turned dark.
jǐn guǎn zhè cì dòu fǎ tā luò bài le ， dàn duì fāng què nán táo hún fēi pò sàn de jié guǒ ， yǐ qū qū yī jù huà shēn miè shā qiáng dí 。 zhè me suàn lái zì jǐ shì wěn zhuàn bù péi dì 。
尽管这次斗法他落败了，但对方却难逃魂飞魄散的结果，以区区一具化身灭杀强敌。这么算来自己是稳赚不赔地。
With a wave of his sleeves, a dazzling light appeared as the divine turtle dragon armor shield flew out.
lín xuān de liǎn sè yīn mái wú bǐ 。
林轩的脸色阴霾无比。
This was another先天treasure Lin Xuan possessed, defensive in nature.
xiù páo yī fú ， dàn jiàn líng guāng dà zuò ， xuán guī lóng jiǎ dùn fēi lüè ér chū 。
袖袍一拂，但见灵光大做，玄龟龙甲盾飞掠而出。
There was no time to dodge or stop the opponent. Defense became their only choice.
zhè shì lín xuān yōng yǒu de lìng wài yī jiàn xiān tiān zhī wù 。
这是林轩拥有的另外一件先天之物。
But whether it would work, Lin Xuan had little confidence.
ér qiě shì fáng yù xìng zhì dì 。
而且是防御性质的。
The power of a late-stage cultivation cultivator's last-ditch effort was too great.
cǐ shí lái bù jí duǒ ， xiǎng yào zǔ zhǐ duì fāng yì méi yǒu shí jiān le ， nà me fáng yù jiù chéng le wéi yī de xuǎn zé 。
此时来不及躲，想要阻止对方亦没有时间了，那么防御就成了唯一的选择。
Facing this, Lin Xuan had no other choice but to rely on fate.
bù guò jiū jìng néng bù néng gòu fáng zhù ， lín xuān yě méi yǒu duō dà bǎ wò 。
不过究竟能不能够防住，林轩也没有多大把握。
"Moon, Little Butterfly, come over quickly."
dù jié hòu qī xiū shì shě mìng yī jī de wēi lì tài dà le 。
渡劫后期修士舍命一击的威力太大了。
Lin Xuan called out.
jìn rén shì ér tīng tiān mìng ， lín xuān méi yǒu bié de xuǎn zé 。
尽人事而听天命，林轩没有别的选择。
Moon didn't hesitate and flew towards him with a burst of green light.
“ yuè ér ， xiǎo dié 。 kuài diǎn guò lái 。”
“月儿，小蝶。快点过来。”
At the same time, her hands glowed as the玄阴宝盒transformed into a shield.
lín xuān kāi kǒu zhāo hū 。
林轩开口招呼。
Even if its power wasn't fully recovered, this shield's defensive capabilities should still be formidable.
yuè ér tīng le ， zì rán bú huì chí yí ， hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， jiù xiàng lín xuān fēi le guò qù 。
月儿听了，自然不会迟疑，浑身青芒一起，就像林轩飞了过去。
With Moon’s help, Lin Xuan felt more confident.
tóng shí tā de shǒu zhōng líng guāng dà zuò ， xuán yīn bǎo hé tóng yàng biàn huàn chéng yí miàn dùn pái le 。
同时她的手中灵光大做，玄阴宝盒同样变幻成一面盾牌了。
There was no time to waste. Lin Xuan raised his right hand and pointed forward with one finger. His left hand didn’t idle; it struck his chest.
xiān fǔ qí zhēn ， jiù suàn wēi lì hái méi yǒu wán quán huī fù ， qí biàn huàn chū lái de dùn pái fáng hù lì yě yīng gāi fēi cháng bù sú 。
仙府奇珍，就算威力还没有完全恢复，其变幻出来的盾牌防护力也应该非常不俗。
As he moved, spiritual light flickered as a heart refinement method shot out from his fingertips. Simultaneously, he opened his mouth and spat out a blood mist.
yǒu yuè ér bāng zhù 。 lín xuān xīn zhōng yòu duō le jǐ fēn bǎ wò 。
有月儿帮助。林轩心中又多了几分把握。
Both were quickly absorbed by the divine turtle dragon armor shield.
zhè shí hòu yǐ méi yǒu shí jiān dān gē ， lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū ， ér zuǒ shǒu yě méi yǒu xián zhe 。 yī chuí xiōng kǒu 。
这时候已没有时间耽搁，林轩右手抬起，一指向前点出，而左手也没有闲着。一捶胸口。
The originally unremarkable shield suddenly emitted golden light.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， dàn jiàn líng guāng shǎn shuò ， yī dào fǎ jué yóu zhǐ jiān jī shè ér chū ， tóng shí kǒu yī zhāng ， pēn chū yī dào xuè wù 。
随着他的动作，但见灵光闪烁，一道法诀由指尖激射而出，同时口一张，喷出一道血雾。
That light grew increasingly dazzling until it covered the entire surface of the shield.
èr zhě dōu hěn kuài jiù bèi xuán guī lóng jiǎ dùn xī shōu diào le 。
二者都很快就被玄龟龙甲盾吸收掉了。
Pattern after pattern lit up.
yuán běn bìng bù qǐ yǎn de dùn pái ， biǎo miàn tū rán jīn máng zhà xiàn 。
原本并不起眼的盾牌，表面突然金芒乍现。
Wu...
ér qiě nà guāng máng yuè lái yuè yào yǎn ， hěn kuài jiù pá mǎn le dùn pái de biǎo miàn 。
而且那光芒越来越耀眼，很快就爬满了盾牌的表面。
A somewhat ancient voice echoed in their ears, reminiscent of the true spirit tortoise’s call.
yí gè yí gè de wén zhèn liàng le qǐ lái 。
一个一个的纹阵亮了起来。
However, as time passed, that sound became more noble, sounding like a dragon's roar.
wū ……
呜……
True dragons and divine tortoises’ virtual shadows appeared on the surface of the shield.
yǒu xiē gǔ piáo de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǔ zhēn líng xuán wǔ de jiào shēng pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù 。
有些古朴的声音传入耳朵，与真灵玄武的叫声颇有几分相似之处。
Lin Xuan continued to chant incantations, driving this rare先天treasure with his Treasure Heart Art.
rán ér suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， nà jiào shēng què biàn dé gāo guì qǐ lái le ， tīng shàng qù ， jiù yǔ lóng yín shēng xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
然而随着时间的推移，那叫声却变得高贵起来了，听上去，就与龙吟声相差仿佛。
"Little Butterfly, why are you standing there?"
dùn pái de biǎo miàn ， jìng yǒu zhēn lóng yǔ xuán wǔ de xū yǐng fú xiàn ér chū 。
盾牌的表面，竟有真龙与玄武的虚影浮现而出。
While operating the treasure, Lin Xuan also released a spiritual sense.
zhì yú lín xuān ， zé kǒu zhōng jì xù zhòu yǔ tūn tǔ ， yǐ tōng bǎo jué qū shǐ zhe zhè jiàn nán dé de xiān tiān zhī wù 。
至于林轩，则口中继续咒语吞吐，以通宝诀驱使着这件难得的先天之物。
Moon had already arrived by his side, but Little Butterfly was still dazed.
“ xiǎo dié ， nǐ lèng zài nà lǐ zuò shén me ？”
“小蝶，你愣在那里做什么？”
What was she doing? She was a late-stage cultivation cultivator too. By all rights, her combat experience should be rich, yet before this scene, she seemed to have been petrified with fear.
lín xuān zài cāo zòng bǎo wù de tóng shí ， yì jiāng yī dào shén niàn fàng chū 。
林轩在操纵宝物的同时，亦将一道神念放出。
Lin Xuan was speechless. While Little Butterfly's strength couldn't be doubted, the Demon Serpent King was now playing a mutual destruction tactic. If Little Butterfly didn’t quickly come over, she might fall victim to it.
yuè ér yǐ lái dào zì jǐ shēn cè ， kě xiǎo dié yī jiù zài nà lǐ fā dāi 。
月儿已来到自己身侧，可小蝶依旧在那里发呆。
Lin Xuan couldn’t ignore this, but at the same time, he could do nothing. The frustration in his heart was evident.
zhè yā tou zài gàn shén me ， tā yě shì dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， àn lǐ shuō ， dòu fǎ jīng yàn gāi hěn fēng fù ， kě yǎn qián de yí mù ， jiù xiàng shì bèi xià shǎ le 。
这丫头在干什么，她也是渡劫后期的修仙者，按理说，斗法经验该很丰富，可眼前的一幕，就像是被吓傻了。
Was Little Butterfly really dazed?
lín xuān yī zhèn wú yǔ ， xiǎo dié de shí lì suī rán bù róng zhì yí ， dàn mó jiāo wáng cǐ shí yào wán de kě shì tóng guī yú jìn de bǎ xì ， xiǎo dié ruò bù kuài diǎn lái dào zhè lǐ ， kě shì jí yǒu kě néng yǔn luò diào dì 。
林轩一阵无语，小蝶的实力虽然不容置疑，但魔蛟王此时要玩的可是同归于尽的把戏，小蝶若不快点来到这里，可是极有可能陨落掉地。
Of course not.
lín xuān dāng rán bù néng shì ruò wú dǔ ， kě piān piān cǐ kè ， tā shén me yě bù néng zuò ， xīn zhōng de yù mèn bú yòng shuō 。
林轩当然不能视若无睹，可偏偏此刻，他什么也不能做，心中的郁闷不用说。
Concern can cloud judgment. Honestly speaking, Lin Xuan had underestimated the Moon Moth too much.
ér xiǎo dié zhēn shì zài fā dāi me ？
而小蝶真是在发呆么？
As a late-stage cultivation cultivator, how could Little Butterfly not know what she faced now?
dá àn dāng rán bú shì zhè yàng de 。
答案当然不是这样的。
Avoid!
suǒ wèi guān xīn zé luàn ， píng xīn lái shuō ， lín xuān shí zài tài xiǎo kàn le huàn yuè é yì diǎn 。
所谓关心则乱，平心来说，林轩实在太小看了幻月蛾一点。
She considered it but time was running out.
zuò wèi dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， xiǎo dié rú hé bù zhī dào ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zì jǐ miàn lín de shì shén me ？
做为渡劫后期的修仙者，小蝶如何不知道，此时此刻，自己面临的是什么？
Defending with Lin Xuan and Moon together seemed like a good idea, but in reality, it was too passive.
duǒ ！
躲！
A late-stage existence's last-ditch effort had power that couldn't be described. Even if Lin Xuan’s strength was formidable, driving this先天treasure to its limits for full defense, whether he could withstand the impact wasn’t certain.
tā yě xiǎng guò ， kě shí jiān lái bù jí le 。
她也想过，可时间来不及了。
Weighing the pros and cons, Little Butterfly decided to take the initiative.
yǔ lín xuān yuè ér yì qǐ fáng yù 。
与林轩月儿一起防御。
At first glance, her choice seemed inexplicable, but remember, her true form was a Moon Moth. Her innate ability was illusion and mental attacks were just a step away.
kàn shì yí gè hǎo zhǔ yì ， kě píng xīn lái shuō ， què tài bèi dòng le yī xiē 。
看似一个好主意，可平心来说，却太被动了一些。
If used properly, it could turn danger into safety, even ensnaring the opponent.
dù jié hòu qī de cún zài shě mìng yī bó ， nà wēi lì gēn běn jiù nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ shuō qīng chǔ ， jiù suàn lín xuān shí lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， qū shǐ zhe xiān tiān zhī wù ， quán lì fáng yù ， néng bù néng fáng zhù ， qí shí yě bìng bù tài hǎo shuō 。
渡劫后期的存在舍命一搏，那威力根本就难以用言语说清楚，就算林轩实力非同小可，驱使着先天之物，全力防御，能不能防住，其实也并不太好说。
Of course, there wasn’t 100% certainty, but the chances of success were significant.
quán héng lì bì ， xiǎo dié jué dìng zhǔ dòng chū jī 。
权衡利弊，小蝶决定主动出击。
Little Butterfly made her choice.
zhà yī kàn ， tā de xuǎn zé yǒu xiē bù kě sī yì ， dàn bié wàng le ， tā de běn tǐ ， nǎi shì huàn yuè é ， tiān fù shén tōng ， nǎi shì huàn shù ， yǔ jīng shén gōng jī ， jǐn yǒu yí xiàn zhī gé 。
乍一看，她的选择有些不可思议，但别忘了，她的本体，乃是幻月蛾，天赋神通，乃是幻术，与精神攻击，仅有一线之隔。
It required courage, but she didn't hesitate. While she seemed dazed, in reality, she had a plan. Lin Xuan, unaware of this, was still anxiously waiting for developments. (To be continued. Your support through recommendations and monthly votes is my greatest motivation.)
As he moved, the surrounding heaven and earth's essence energy became extremely chaotic.
A hundred miles around, patches of void space began to collapse.
Wu...
Howling winds surged, as if the essence energy from all directions was rushing towards this place like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.
Following that, countless light points of varying sizes appeared.
Multicolored spiritual rays emerged and entered the body of the Demon Serpent King.
Roar!
The old monster raised its head, emitting a terrifying roar from its throat.
The demon energy around his body became increasingly dense. A dazzling black aura rose from his surface.
While the light wasn't particularly eye-catching, the spiritual pressure it emitted made one's breath catch in their throat.
On the surface of this aura, layer upon layer of纹阵patterns could be seen. Astonishingly, every time the spiritual light flickered, the talismans that composed these arrays also changed. Upon closer inspection, one felt as if they were being drawn into it, its profundity and mystery reaching an extreme.
However, Lin Xuan's pupils constricted, his expression filled with shock.
With his extensive experience in combat, how could he not know what he was facing now?
This guy clearly couldn't defeat him but was resorting to a mutual destruction tactic.
Damn!
He was a late-stage cultivation cultivator who had transcended the constraints of lifespan. How could he disregard his own life?
Lin Xuan's expression was one of shock.
In all three realms, throughout history and time, no cultivator would ever be indifferent towards their life.
Especially not an advanced stage existence.
This didn't make sense.
Lin Xuan hadn't anticipated this situation beforehand. While it might seem overly panicked to say so, he certainly wasn't without fear.
After all, facing a late-stage cultivation cultivator with overwhelming power, such a powerful old monster's self-destruction was no laughing matter.
Even if Lin Xuan considered himself highly confident as a cultivator, he had little confidence in surviving under such terrifying power. But it was too late to retreat now.
In this crisis, Lin Xuan's expression was grim.
But he didn't hesitate. A determined look flashed in his eyes.

Lin Xuan raised both hands, and sword lights shot out from the edges of his palms.
Like shooting stars, like falling stars, they vanished as soon as they appeared, nearly reaching the Demon Serpent King.

Lin Xuan couldn’t ignore this, but at the same time, he could do nothing. The frustration in his heart was evident.
Was Little Butterfly really dazed?
Of course not.
Concern can cloud judgment. Honestly speaking, Lin Xuan had underestimated the Moon Moth too much.
As a late-stage cultivation cultivator, how could Little Butterfly not know what she faced now?
Avoid!
She considered it but time was running out.
Defending with Lin Xuan and Moon together seemed like a good idea, but in reality, it was too passive.
A late-stage existence's last-ditch effort had power that couldn't be described. Even if Lin Xuan’s strength was formidable, driving this先天treasure to its limits for full defense, whether he could withstand the impact wasn’t certain.
Weighing the pros and cons, Little Butterfly decided to take the initiative.
At first glance, her choice seemed inexplicable, but remember, her true form was a Moon Moth. Her innate ability was illusion and mental attacks were just a step away.
If used properly, it could turn danger into safety, even ensnaring the opponent.
Of course, there wasn’t 100% certainty, but the chances of success were significant.
Little Butterfly made her choice.
It required courage, but she didn't hesitate. While she seemed dazed, in reality, she had a plan. Lin Xuan, unaware of this, was still anxiously waiting for developments. (To be continued. Your support through recommendations and monthly votes is my greatest motivation.)
