xíng shì pǒ wèi bù lì 。 dàn méi yǒu kuì bài lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐ shì shí fēn xīn xǐ 。 mù guāng liú zhuǎn zhī xià 。 yǐ jīng suǒ dìng le zuǒ cè yuē shù lǐ zhī wài de yī chù zhàn jú 。
形势颇为不利。但没有溃败林轩心中已是十分欣喜。目光流转之下。已经锁定了左侧约数里之外的一处战局。
The situation was decidedly unfavorable, but Lin Xuan felt a surge of joy as he had not expected such an outcome. His gaze swept across the battlefield and quickly zeroed in on a particularly intense conflict about several miles to his left.
suī rán zài zhè yī piàn qū yù 。 xiū shì yǔ lì guǐ men zǎo yǐ dǎ dé shì yī tā hú tú 。 líng qì fǎ shù 。 zòng héng jiāo cuò 。 dàn tā mù guāng suǒ jí 。 què shì zhàn dòu zuì wèi jī liè de yī chù 。
虽然在这一片区域。修士与厉鬼们早已打得是一塌糊涂。灵器法术。纵横交错。但他目光所及。却是战斗最为激烈的一处。
Although the area was already a chaotic mess with both cultivators and evil spirits engaged in fierce combat, the battle he observed seemed the most intense. In the sky, a brilliantly colored phoenix clashed with an enormous, horned demon that towered over it.
tiān kōng zhī zhōng 。 yī tóu wǔ cǎi bān lán de jù dà fèng huáng 。 zhèng yǔ yī shēn gāo shù zhàng 。 tóu shēng jī jiǎo de è guǐ jù liè pèng zhuàng 。
天空之中。一头五彩斑斓的巨大凤凰。正与一身高数丈。头生犄角的恶鬼剧烈碰撞。
Flashes of light intermingled as each attack sent ripples through the surrounding air. Amidst the flickering light, Lin Xuan recognized a familiar figure—a woman named Lady Lan, her eyes like a phoenix and lips like cherry blossoms, with a robust physique.
guāng máng shǎn shuò bù yǐ 。 měi yī xià 。 dōu chuán lái líng qì de fēng kuáng zhèn dàng 。
光芒闪烁不已。每一下。都传来灵气的疯狂震荡。
Lady Lan was indeed a formidable expert from One-Line Canyon. Despite facing difficulties against the Yin Qi Skeleton earlier, she now faced a demon king of the same rank without any disadvantage.
nà fèng huáng guāng yǐng zhī zhōng 。 yǐn yǐn yǒu yī shú xī zhī rén 。 fèng mù yīng chún 。 shēn cái fēng mǎn 。 zhèng shì nà míng jiào lán fū rén de nǚ xiū 。
那凤凰光影之中。隐隐有一熟悉之人。凤目樱唇。身材丰满。正是那名叫兰夫人的女修。
Lin Xuan hesitated briefly before transforming into a streak of light and flying towards Lady Lan. As the saying goes, one should strike at the head to subdue an enemy; he aimed to eliminate the other two demon kings first, making this battle a certainty.
cǐ nǚ bù kuì shì yī xiàn xiá de gāo shǒu 。 suī rán gāng cái miàn duì yīn shā kū lóu de shí hòu 。 céng jīng chī le yī xiē kǔ tóu 。 kě cǐ kè duì shàng tóng jiē guǐ wáng 。 què sī háo bù là xià fēng 。
此女不愧是一线峡的高手。虽然刚才面对阴煞骷髅的时候。曾经吃了一些苦头。可此刻对上同阶鬼王。却丝毫不落下风。
He wondered if the evil spirits had underestimated the lone human cultivator or if their strength was overestimated. Regardless, with the current situation, victory seemed possible, and any delay would be unnecessary.
lín xuān lüè yī chóu chú 。 shēn xíng wēi huǎng 。 biàn huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng 。 xiàng lán fū rén fēi qù le 。
林轩略一踌躇。身形微晃。便化为一道惊虹。像兰夫人飞去了。
Lin Xuan felt a sense of relief as he approached closer. Without further ado, he cast his flying sword, the Drifting Snowfall Sword…
sú huà shuō shè rén xiān shè mǎ 。 qín zéi xiān qín wáng 。 xiān jiě jué diào lìng wài liǎng tóu guǐ wáng 。 cǐ zhàn zì rán jiù háo wú xuán niàn le 。
俗话说射人先射马。擒贼先擒王。先解决掉另外两头鬼王。此战自然就毫无悬念了。
Half an hour later:
yě bù zhī dào jiū jìng shì lì guǐ men dī gū le luò dān de rén lèi xiū shì 。 méi xiǎng dào tā men huì jù jí zài yì qǐ 。 bìng bǎi kāi dà zhèn fú jī 。 hái shì zhè xiē xiōng hún lì pò de shí lì 。 bèi gāo gū le shǎo xǔ 。
也不知道究竟是厉鬼们低估了落单的人类修士。没想到他们会聚集在一起。并摆开大阵伏击。还是这些凶魂厉魄的实力。被高估了少许。
"Thank you for your assistance, Fellow Daoist," Lady Lan said with a bow, her face showing signs of respect. "Indeed, I did not expect Master Wang to be so young yet so proficient in cultivation. The Fire Spirit Sect has produced such a talent; its future is bright."
zǒng zhī zhào xiàn zài zhè ge xíng shì 。 shèng lì dōu yǒu kě néng 。 tuō yán zì rán bù zài huà xià 。
总之照现在这个形势。胜利都有可能。拖延自然不再话下。
Lin Xuan sneered inwardly. The Fire Spirit Sect? Li Yaotian had long since passed on to the netherworld, and this fallen sect was likely destined for dissolution.
lín xuān xīn zhōng gǎn dào yī zhèn qīng sōng 。 fēi dào jìn chù yǐ hòu 。 yě bù duō yán 。 yī yáng shǒu 。 zhí jiē jiāng piāo yún luò xuě jiàn jì chū ……
林轩心中感到一阵轻松。飞到近处以后。也不多言。一扬手。直接将飘云落雪剑祭出……
After casting his treasure, he teamed up with Lady Lan to easily defeat the tall demon king. They then rescued Wang Peng from another condensation core stage cultivator, ensuring that the last remaining demon king met a similar fate.
bàn gè shí chén yǐ hòu 。
半个时辰以后。
These were merely ordinary demonic spirits without special abilities; they paled in comparison to the formidable True Yin Demon King. Thus, Lin Xuan did not exert much effort.
“ duō xiè dào yǒu yuán shǒu 。 fǒu zé xiǎo fù rén néng fǒu huó mìng hái shì liǎng shuō 。” lán fū rén liǎn rèn wèi lǐ 。 liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī gōng jìng zhī yì 。
“多谢道友援手。否则小妇人能否活命还是两说。”兰夫人敛衽为礼。脸上闪过一丝恭敬之意。
With a casual smile, he continued, "Alright, no need for formalities. As fellow humans, we should support each other against these evil souls. Let's focus on dealing with those lesser demons."
“ shì a 。 xiǎng bú dào lǐ dào yǒu nián líng qīng qīng 。 xiū wèi què jīng shēn zhì cǐ 。 huǒ líng mén chū le nǐ zhè me yī wèi tiān cái 。 fā yáng guāng dà shì zhǐ rì kě dài a !” wáng péng bào le bào quán 。 mǎn liǎn tǎo hǎo 。
“是啊。想不到李道友年龄轻轻。修为却精深至此。火灵门出了你这么一位天才。发扬光大是指日可待啊!”王鹏抱了抱拳。满脸讨好。
"Agreed," both agreed without hesitation and joined the battle.
lín xuān zé xīn zhōng lěng xiào 。 huǒ líng mén ? lǐ yào tiān zǎo yǐ hún guī dì fǔ 。 zhè ge duò luò de mén pài kǒng pà yě jiù zhǐ yǒu jiě sàn yī tú 。
林轩则心中冷笑。火灵门?李耀天早已魂归地府。这个堕落的门派恐怕也就只有解散一途。
Despite their small numbers, as condensation core stage cultivators, they easily overpowered the low-ranking demonic spirits. However, contrary to Lin Xuan’s expectations, even after the demon king was eliminated, the remaining evil souls did not retreat but fought with unyielding determination.
tā jì chū fǎ bǎo yǐ hòu 。 yǔ lán fū rén lián shǒu méi fèi duō shǎo lì qì jiù miè le nà shēn cái gāo dà de guǐ wáng 。 rán hòu liǎng rén yòu jiù xià le wáng péng 。 miàn duì sān wèi níng dān qī xiū shì 。 zuì hòu yī tóu guǐ wáng zì rán yě táo bù tuō hún fēi pò sàn de xià chǎng 。
他祭出法宝以后。与兰夫人联手没费多少力气就灭了那身材高大的鬼王。然后两人又救下了王鹏。面对三位凝丹期修士。最后一头鬼王自然也逃不脱魂飞魄散的下场。
Victory seemed unlikely.
shuō qǐ lái 。 zhè liǎng gè jiā huo yě zhǐ shì pǔ tōng dì xiōng hún ér yǐ 。 méi yǒu shén me tè shū shén tōng 。 yǔ xuán zhēn guǐ wáng xiàng bǐ 。 gēn běn bú shì yí gè dàng cì 。 gù ér lín xuān yě méi yǒu fèi duō shǎo lì qì 。
说起来。这两个家伙也只是普通地凶魂而已。没有什么特殊神通。与玄真鬼王相比。根本不是一个档次。故而林轩也没有费多少力气。
Lin Xuan remained calm and manipulated the Cosmic Fire Divine珠 into a massive fire cloud, trapping several base foundation stage demons within its confines. These spirits lacked physical forms, yet their illusory images were terrifying in their diversity. Despite their ferocity, they showed fear when faced with the attacks of the Cosmic Fire Divine珠. They fought desperately to defend themselves using their spiritual artifacts.
dàn rán yī xiào 。 lín xuān bìng méi yǒu chí cái ào wù 。 biǎo qíng yī jiù shí fēn píng hé :“ hǎo le 。 liǎng wèi dào yǒu wú xū kè qì 。 wǒ men jì rán tóng wéi rén lèi 。 miàn duì zhè děng yīn hún guǐ wù 。 zì dāng shǒu wàng xiāng zhù 。 bú yào liáo le 。 xiān xià qù jiě jué le nà xiē dī jiē xiōng hún zài shuō 。”
淡然一笑。林轩并没有持才傲物。表情依旧十分平和:“好了。两位道友无需客气。我们既然同为人类。面对这等阴魂鬼物。自当守望相助。不要聊了。先下去解决了那些低阶凶魂再说。”
The spirit weapons used by these demonic creatures differed from those of human cultivators—mostly skeletal heads, soul banners, and sharp claws. These items were peculiar and useless to most people unless one could melt them down for materials or trade for crystals.
“ ń 。” duì yú zhè ge tí yì 。 liǎng rén zì rán méi yǒu sī háo yì yì 。 dā yìng yī shēng zhī hòu 。 jiù gè zì fēi shēn là xià jiā rù le zhàn jú 。
“嗯。”对于这个提议。两人自然没有丝毫异议。答应一声之后。就各自飞身落下加入了战局。
Nevertheless, with Lin Xuan's current status and power, such trinkets held no appeal. Without bothering to collect them, he used the Cosmic Fire Divine珠 to reduce them to ashes.
suī rán rén shù bù duō 。 zhǐ yǒu tā men sān gè 。 dàn zuò wèi níng dān qī xiū shì 。 miàn duì dī jiē guǐ wù 。 zì rán shì suǒ xiàng pì nì 。
虽然人数不多。只有他们三个。但做为凝丹期修士。面对低阶鬼物。自然是所向睥睨。
With a surge of his cultivation force, the fire cloud compressed towards the center, causing the demons to panic but still fight desperately. Lin Xuan grunted, his gaze cold as he burned the spirits into smoke with his spiritual energy.
kě yǔ lín xuān xiǎng xiàng de bù tóng 。 yīn hún men suī rán shī qù le lǐng tóu de shǒu lǐng 。 kě yī jiù méi yǒu yí gè tuì suō 。 hàn bù wèi sǐ de yǔ tā men xiāng bó 。
可与林轩想象的不同。阴魂们虽然失去了领头的首领。可依旧没有一个退缩。悍不畏死的与他们相搏。
Using his divine sense, he surveyed the surroundings and saw that Lady Lan and Wang Peng were also dealing effectively with the evil souls. With their addition, the unfavorable situation began to improve.
xiǎng yào qǔ shèng sì hū yě bú shì nà me róng yì 。
想要取胜似乎也不是那么容易。
Lin Xuan felt a surge of joy and was about to move towards another group when suddenly, sensing something, he turned his head towards the southwest. This direction was where Yan Chou Valley stood, defended by cultivators led by Chu Tianshu.
rán ér lín xuān bù jí 。
然而林轩不急。
The strongest defensive force was there, but a loud explosion caught his attention. A half-circular light bubble appeared in the distance and quickly dissipated, replaced by a massive mushroom cloud rising into the sky.
cǐ shí tā cāo zòng zhe xuán huǒ shén zhū 。 huà wèi yī duǒ zhǎng kuān jiē yǒu shí yú zhàng dì jù dà huǒ yún 。 jiāng jǐ míng zhù jī qī dì yīn hún kùn zài lǐ miàn 。
此时他操纵着玄火神珠。化为一朵长宽皆有十余丈地巨大火云。将几名筑基期地阴魂困在里面。
The entire landscape's spiritual energy began to oscillate wildly, causing the ground to tremble and crack…
nà xiē yīn hún méi yǒu shí tǐ 。 dàn huàn huà chū lái de xū yǐng què shì xíng tài gè yì 。 kǒng bù yǐ jí 。 zhè xiē guài wù suī rán hàn bù wèi sǐ 。 dàn miàn duì xuán huǒ shén zhū de gōng jī yě miàn lù wèi jù 。 gè zì cāo zòng shǒu zhōng dì líng qì 。 pīn mìng dǐ dǎng zhe dān huǒ de gōng jī 。
那些阴魂没有实体。但幻化出来的虚影却是形态各异。恐怖以极。这些怪物虽然悍不畏死。但面对玄火神珠的攻击也面露畏惧。各自操纵手中地灵器。拼命抵挡着丹火的攻击。
The battlefield fell silent as both cultivators and evil souls ceased their fighting, all faces showing shock.
shuō qǐ zhè xiē guǐ wù suǒ yòng de líng qì 。 yǔ rén lèi xiū shì yòu yǒu qū bié 。 dà duō shì kū lóu tóu 。 zhāo hún fān 。 jiān lì guǐ zhǎo yī lèi de dōng xī 。
说起这些鬼物所用的灵器。与人类修士又有区别。大多是骷髅头。招魂幡。尖利鬼爪一类的东西。
Almost immediately, Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of light and fled. At the center of this streak was an unremarkable-looking young man—Lin Xuan!
gǔ lǐ gǔ guài 。 chú le xiū liàn guǐ dào zhī rén 。 qí tā rén jiù suàn shì qiǎng le yě méi yǒu duō dà yòng chǔ 。 zuì duō shì jiāng qí róng liàn zhī hòu 。 zuò wèi cái liào 。 huò zhě huàn qǔ yī xiē jīng shí 。
古里古怪。除了修炼鬼道之人。其他人就算是抢了也没有多大用处。最多是将其熔炼之后。做为材料。或者换取一些晶石。
His face was pale with no trace of color. He had his reasons for acting thusly. The explosion was too shocking, but what truly frightened him was that he sensed a familiar divine consciousness in the midst of it.
dāng rán 。 yǐ lín xuān rú jīn dì shēn jiā xiū wèi 。 zhè diǎn dōng xī gēn běn jiù kàn bù shàng yǎn 。
当然。以林轩如今地身家修为。这点东西根本就看不上眼。
Heavenly Emperor Ghost!
lǎn de shōu qǔ 。 zhí jiē cāo zuò xuán huǒ shén zhū jiāng duì fāng yǔ chǔ wù dài huà wéi huī jìn 。
懒得收取。直接操作玄火神珠将对方与储物袋化为灰烬。
An old monster he once met briefly. His cultivation level was not inferior to that of a human round embryo cultivator.
yī cuī fǎ lì 。 huǒ yún dùn shí hōng lōng lóng de xiàng zhōng jiān de jǐ yā ér qù 。 nà xiē yīn hún dà jīng 。 suī rán zhī dào shì tú láo 。 dàn yě zhǐ néng pīn mìng qū shǐ zì jǐ dì líng qì dǐ dǎng 。
一催法力。火云顿时轰隆隆的像中间的挤压而去。那些阴魂大惊。虽然知道是徒劳。但也只能拼命驱使自己地灵器抵挡。
Although this ghost emperor had just ascended, he could not be easily defeated by Lin Xuan and his companions. Thus, upon recognizing him, Lin Xuan immediately fled without hesitation.
lín xuān “ hēng ” le yī shēng 。 mù guāng bīng lěng 。 tǐ nèi líng lì liú zhuǎn 。 hěn kuài jiù jiāng duì fāng shāo chéng le qīng yān 。
林轩“哼”了一声。目光冰冷。体内灵力流转。很快就将对方烧成了青烟。
However, as the ghost emperor, there was no need for him to intervene in dealing with lone cultivators.
shén shí fàng chū 。 jiāng zhōu wéi dì qíng xíng gǎn yìng dé yì qīng èr chǔ 。 lán fū rén hé wáng péng yě zài dà zhǎn shén wēi 。 tú chuō zhe nà xiē yīn hún guǐ wù 。 yǒu le sān rén de jiā rù 。 bù lì dì jú miàn guǒ rán bèi jiàn jiàn bān huí lái le 。
神识放出。将周围地情形感应得一清二楚。兰夫人和王鹏也在大展神威。屠戳着那些阴魂鬼物。有了三人的加入。不利地局面果然被渐渐扳回来了。
Was it due to some other reason or simply bad luck? Lin Xuan did not care enough to ponder further. If he were caught, his formidable abilities and treasures would be useless against such a significant cultivation gap.
lín xuān xīn zhōng shèn xǐ 。 zhèng yào xiàng zhe lìng yī zuǒ yīn hún fēi qù 。 tū rán xiàng shì gǎn yìng dào shén me shì de 。 huí guò tóu lái 。 wàng le xī nán fāng xiàng yī yǎn 。 nà lǐ zhèng shì yàn chóu gǔ dì zhèng miàn 。 yóu chǔ tiān shū dài lǐng xiū shì men qīn zì jiān shǒu 。
林轩心中甚喜。正要向着另一撮阴魂飞去。突然像是感应到什么似的。回过头来。望了西南方向一眼。那里正是燕仇谷地正面。由楚天舒带领修士们亲自坚守。
Lin Xuan did not rest as he raced nearly a hundred miles before stopping to consume a medicinal pill and recharge his spiritual energy with crystals. He believed that even the ghost emperor's divine consciousness could not locate him at this distance, especially if he was unaware of any survivors.
nà ér de fáng yù lì liàng zuì qiáng 。 běn bù bì dān xīn shén me 。 kě yī shēng jù xiǎng què chuán rù le ěr duǒ 。 zhǐ jiàn yuǎn chù tiān biān 。 yí gè bàn yuán xíng de guāng pào sà rán liàng qǐ 。 yī shǎn zhī hòu 。 pò miè kāi lái 。 qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī duǒ jù dà de mó gū yún téng kōng ér qǐ 。
那儿的防御力量最强。本不必担心什么。可一声巨响却传入了耳朵。只见远处天边。一个半圆形的光泡飒然亮起。一闪之后。破灭开来。取而代之的是一朵巨大的蘑菇云腾空而起。
Still, for safety’s sake, Lin Xuan set up a禁制 around himself to suppress the surrounding spiritual energy.
zhěng gè tiān dì jiān de líng qì 。 bú shì jù liè zhèn dàng 。 ér shì wán quán luàn le 。 dà dì chàn dǒu bù zhǐ 。 liè kāi yī dào dào quǎn yá jiāo cuò de fèng xì ……
整个天地间的灵气。不是剧烈震荡。而是完全乱了。大地颤抖不止。裂开一道道犬牙交错的缝隙……
Thus, he cautiously waited for two days before emerging from his hiding place.
The situation was decidedly unfavorable, but Lin Xuan felt a surge of joy as he had not expected such an outcome. His gaze swept across the battlefield and quickly zeroed in on a particularly intense conflict about several miles to his left.
Although the area was already a chaotic mess with both cultivators and evil spirits engaged in fierce combat, the battle he observed seemed the most intense. In the sky, a brilliantly colored phoenix clashed with an enormous, horned demon that towered over it.
