kōng jiān bō dòng yì qǐ , lín xuān yǐ chū xiàn zài le bǎi zhàng yuǎn de mǒu dì .
空间波动一起,林轩已出现在了百丈远的某地.
Space ripples indicated that Lin Xuan had appeared a hundred zhang away from his previous location.
liǎn shàng mǎn shì yīn mái zhī sè .
脸上满是阴霾之色.
His face was clouded with an ominous expression. He looked at the venomous snake that had just bitten him. It wasn't a living creature but one transformed by essence and demonic qi.
wàng xiàng gāng cái yǎo xiàng zì jǐ de dú shé .
望向刚才咬像自己的毒蛇.
No doubt, it must be the Treasure Snake!
nà bìng fēi huó wù , nǎi shì yóu jīng suǐ mó qì biàn huà ér chéng de .
那并非活物,乃是由精髓魔气变化而成的.
This woman hadn't perished. As a True Demon Ancestor, she couldn’t be easily killed. Even if Lin Xuan had orchestrated a series of clever plans, even with her perilous situation, the Treasure Snake still managed to survive. The reputation of a True Demon Ancestor wasn’t gained by chance; they could turn danger into safety.
bú yòng shuō , bǎo shé ！
不用说,宝蛇！
Of course, there was no way this would come without any cost. After all, she faced an absolute kill scenario, and the Treasure Snake had to sacrifice one of its incarnations as bait to help her escape the peril. In other words, it was a case of "Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell." The incarnation took the hit while she managed to survive.
cǐ nǚ bìng wèi yǔn luò .
此女并未陨落.
The Treasure Snake immediately launched a counterattack but was still evaded by Lin Xuan. The disappointment in his heart was evident. His gaze towards Lin Xuan now carried more malice than ever, as he had always hated him deeply and this new grudge only added to it.
shēn wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ , nǎ ér yǒu nà me róng yì bèi rén qǔ xià tou lú .
身为真魔始祖,哪儿有那么容易被人取下头颅.
Indeed, creating an incarnation required significant effort. Not only did she spend resources, but the time and energy invested were beyond calculation. The Treasure Snake had only six incarnations, each meticulously crafted and having contributed countless battles. Their sudden demise here was a source of immense resentment for her.
nǎ pà lín xuān lián shī lián huán miào jì .
哪怕林轩连施连环妙计.
"Good, good, I didn’t expect you to force me into such a predicament, Lin boy. You can be proud of yourself. But are you sure you won't regret it after angering me?"
nǎ pà gāng cái tā de chǔ jìng yǐ wēi xiǎn yǐ jí .
哪怕刚才她的处境已危险以极.
The Treasure Snake's gaze shifted to Lin Xuan, and the fury in her eyes gradually subsided, revealing an odd expression. Only those familiar with her knew that this meant danger was imminent—anger!
dàn bǎo shé jiù shì bǎo shé , zhēn mó shǐ zǔ de wēi míng jué bú shì jiǎo xìng dé lái de .
但宝蛇就是宝蛇,真魔始祖的威名绝不是侥幸得来的.
As she appeared calm, the accumulated rage within her only grew.
jí biàn shēn chù jué jìng , yě kě yǐ sǐ zhōng qiú huó ！
即便身处绝境,也可以死中求活！
Surely, the next attack would be a storm of ferocity.
dāng rán , yě bù kě néng yì diǎn dài jià dōu bù fù .
当然,也不可能一点代价都不付.
Lin Xuan’s expression didn’t improve much either. The series of attacks he had just endured required significant effort; although he hadn't used all his techniques, he had employed every trick in the book. It was far from cost-effective to merely eliminate one of her incarnations under these circumstances. While it wasn’t exactly "stealing chickens and losing hens," it certainly fell short of expectations.
bì jìng gāng cái tā miàn duì de shì jué shā zhī jú , bǎo shé bù dé bù qì zú bǎo chē , yǐ yī jù huà shēn wèi ěr , bāng zhù běn tǐ huà xiǎn wéi yí .
毕竟刚才她面对的是绝杀之局,宝蛇不得不弃卒保车,以一具化身为饵,帮助本体化险为夷.
The next opponent would be the most formidable one.
jiǎn dān de shuō , jiù shì jīn chán tuō qiào .
简单的说,就是金蝉脱壳.
Thoughts raced through Lin Xuan’s mind as he prepared for what lay ahead, his expression gravely serious.
ràng huà shēn dài wéi shòu guò , gāng cái shì tā suǒ xiū liàn de huà shēn zhī yī .
让化身代为受过,刚才是她所修炼的化身之一.
He couldn’t be certain whether she would use her domain. Regardless, he had to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
dài tì běn tǐ , bèi jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn qǔ xià le tóu lú .
代替本体,被九宫须臾剑取下了头颅.
As for the other two cultivators, their expressions were different.
bǎo shé jiāng dà nàn duǒ guò , lì kè duì lín xuān fā dòng fǎn jī , méi xiǎng dào hái shì bèi lín xuān duǒ le guò qù .
宝蛇将大难躲过,立刻对林轩发动反击,没想到还是被林轩躲了过去.
The alluring woman was both shocked and delighted, never expecting that this unremarkable Lin boy possessed such formidable strength. Perhaps they could turn danger into safety by teaming up.
xīn zhōng de yù mèn bù yòng tí .
心中的郁闷不用提.
Meanwhile, Qing Ling Dao Ren’s expression was a mix of emotions, his thoughts unknown to anyone.
wàng xiàng lín xuān de yǎn shén , gèng chōng mǎn le yuàn dú .
望向林轩的眼神,更充满了怨毒.
A major battle was about to erupt.
yuán běn tā jiù hèn lín xuān rù gǔ , rú jīn gèng shì xīn chóu jiù hèn yì qǐ fā zuò .
原本她就恨林轩入骨,如今更是新仇旧恨一起发作.
But the Treasure Snake didn’t have much patience. She looked at Lin Xuan and her gaze turned sinister. Then she opened her mouth, and "pop," six egg-sized light spheres emerged into his ears.
kě bú shì me ?
可不是么?
They were of different colors but emitted a mysterious aura.
yào zhī dào níng liàn yī jù huà shēn yě shì shū wèi bù yì .
要知道凝炼一具化身也是殊为不易.
Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted as he intended to use Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes to discern their nature. However, the spiritual glow on the surface of these light spheres dispersed instantly.
huā fèi de zī yuán bù yòng tí , guāng shì wèi cǐ fù chū de xīn xuè jiù nán yǐ suàn jì .
花费的资源不用提,光是为此付出的心血就难以算计.
Then, six precious items appeared before him: an ancient mirror, a long spear, a bronze bell, an jade tripod, a scroll painting, and a small drum. Each item was roughly the size of a baby’s fist, exquisitely crafted.
bǎo shé yī gòng , yě bù guò xiū liàn le liù jù huà shēn ér yǐ .
宝蛇一共,也不过修炼了六具化身而已.
"Six Treasures of the Demon Sect!"
měi yī jù , dōu qiān chuí bǎi liàn , céng wèi tā lì xià zhàn gōng wú shù , méi xiǎng dào què mò míng yǔn luò zài le zhè lǐ .
每一具,都千锤百炼,曾为她立下战功无数,没想到却莫名陨落在了这里.
From afar, Qing Ling Dao Ren sucked in his breath, his face contorted with displeasure, recognizing these items.
zěn me bù ràng bǎo shé yuàn hèn yǐ jí ！
怎么不让宝蛇怨恨以极！
"You boy, you have some discernment."
tōu jī bù chéng shí bǎ mǐ ！
偷鸡不成蚀把米！
Upon hearing the exclamation, the Treasure Snake turned her head, a hint of an unusual light flashing in her eyes. "Since you can recognize my treasures, let me use you as a sacrificial offering, friend. What do you think?"
" hǎo , hǎo , méi xiǎng dào nǐ néng jiāng běn shèng zǔ bī dào rú cǐ dì bù , lín xiǎo zi , nǐ yě zú yǐ zì ào le . bù guò rě nù wǒ , nǐ què dìng , zhēn de bú huì hòu huǐ me ?"
"好,好,没想到你能将本圣祖逼到如此地步,林小子,你也足以自傲了.不过惹怒我,你确定,真的不会后悔么?"
Before he could respond, she raised her jade hand and flicked her fingers. Six spells shot out from her fingertips, each entering one of the six items.
bǎo shé de mù guāng zài lín xuān shēn shàng zhuǎn guò , nù qì yī fēn yī fēn de shōu le qǐ lái , biǎo qíng biàn dé yǒu xiē qí guài , rán ér shú xī tā de rén cái zhī dào , nà yì wèi zhe wēi xiǎn ！
宝蛇的目光在林轩身上转过,怒气一分一分的收了起来,表情变得有些奇怪,然而熟悉她的人才知道,那意味着危险！
Instantly, buzzing sounds filled the air like the sound of a great bell. The six items began to emit a brilliant light, forming mysterious halos that spread from their surfaces.
kuáng nù ！
狂怒！
Simultaneously, different laws of nature passed through the sky, and pale demonic flames appeared in the void.
cǐ shí bǎo shé yuè shì biǎo xiàn dé lěng jìng yǐ jí , yuè shì biǎo shì xīn zhōng jī zǎn le tài duō de nù qì .
此时宝蛇越是表现得冷静以极,越是表示心中积攒了太多的怒气.
"What is this?"
jiē xià lái , bì jiāng shì kuáng fēng zhòu yǔ yì bān de gōng jī .
接下来,必将是狂风骤雨一般的攻击.
Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted as alarms rang in his mind. These six treasures were powerful, but they seemed to be a cohesive unit, almost like one item.
lín xuān de biǎo qíng yì hǎo bù dào nǎ lǐ .
林轩的表情亦好不到哪里.
How was that possible?
gāng cái nà yī lián chuàn de gōng jī , tā kě shì fèi xīn láo lì . suī méi yǒu shǒu duàn qí chū , dàn yě shī zhǎn le hún shēn xiè shù .
刚才那一连串的攻击,他可是费心劳力.虽没有手段齐出,但也施展了浑身解数.
Could it be… these six items had one main piece with five auxiliary ones? In other words, a set of treasures.
zhè yàng de qíng kuàng xià , cái jǐn jǐn zhǎn shā le bǎo shé de yī jù huà shēn , bù lùn cóng nǎ ge jiǎo dù , dōu shì jí bù huá suàn de .
这样的情况下,才仅仅斩杀了宝蛇的一具化身,不论从哪个角度,都是极不划算的.
This idea flashed through his mind like lightning.
suī bù néng shuō tōu jī bù chéng shí bǎ mǐ , dàn zhì shǎo yuǎn yuǎn méi yǒu dá dào zì jǐ de yù qī .
虽不能说偷鸡不成蚀把米,但至少远远没有达到自己的预期.
The six items vanished, and the next moment, they surrounded Qing Ling Dao Ren. They spun around him, sealing off this area with spiritual runes that intertwined with the laws of nature, freezing even the primordial qi in place.
jiē xià lái , zì jǐ jiāng miàn duì zuì kě pà de qiáng dí .
接下来,自己将面对最可怕的强敌.
"Bad!"
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò , lín xuān yǐ qīng chǔ zì jǐ jiē xià lái huì miàn duì shén me , biǎo qíng níng zhòng yǐ jí .
脑海中念头转过,林轩已清楚自己接下来会面对什么,表情凝重以极.
Qing Ling Dao Ren was alarmed. Despite his shock, he didn’t sit idly by; he cast a spell with a flick of his sleeve, revealing a massive axe radiating cold light. The handle alone was three zhang long, and its sharpness was terrifying.
tā kě bù què dìng jiē xià lái bǎo shé huì bú huì shī zhǎn lǐng yù . dàn bù guǎn rú hé , zì jǐ kěn dìng yào zuò zuì huài dǎ suàn de .
他可不确定接下来宝蛇会不会施展领域.但不管如何,自己肯定要做最坏打算的.
Fear showed on Qing Ling Dao Ren’s face as he swung his arms, forming a fist-sized light sphere that rapidly expanded to envelop him entirely.
zhì yú lìng wài liǎng míng xiū xiān zhě , biǎo qíng yě shì gè bù xiāng tóng .
至于另外两名修仙者,表情也是各不相同.
Lin Xuan extended his divine sense, but it became useless upon touching the edge of the light sphere. The laws within were different from those outside.
jiāo mèi nǚ zǐ yòu jīng yòu xǐ , wàn wàn méi xiǎng dào zhè míng bú jiàn jīng zhuàn de lín xiǎo zi shí lì jìng rú cǐ liǎo de . yǔ tā lián shǒu , yě xǔ zhēn néng gòu huà xiǎn wéi yí , bǎi tuō yǎn qián de wēi jī .
娇媚女子又惊又喜,万万没想到这名不见经传的林小子实力竟如此了得.与他联手,也许真能够化险为夷,摆脱眼前的危机.
A domain!
ér qīng líng dào rén zé yī liǎn yīn qíng bù dìng de shén sè , gēn běn bù zhī dào tā cǐ kè . jiū jìng zài xiǎng xiē shén me .
而青灵道人则一脸阴晴不定的神色,根本不知道他此刻.究竟在想些什么.
This was obvious.
dà zhàn yī chù jí fā .
大战一触即发.
Lin Xuan recognized this easily and showed surprise on his face.
ér bǎo shé bìng méi yǒu nài xīn děng duō jiǔ .
而宝蛇并没有耐心等多久.
After all, domains were enviable for their power, but they also consumed a lot of magical energy. Qing Ling Dao Ren was only at the middle stage of the Transcendence Realm; using a domain here could result in exhausting his magical energy needlessly.
tā tái tóu kàn le yī yǎn lín xuān , mù guāng jiàn jiàn biàn dé zhēng níng le qǐ lái .
她抬头看了一眼林轩,目光渐渐变得狰狞了起来.
Or perhaps these six treasures were too terrifying to ignore?
Space ripples indicated that Lin Xuan had appeared a hundred zhang away from his previous location.
His face was clouded with an ominous expression. He looked at the venomous snake that had just bitten him. It wasn't a living creature but one transformed by essence and demonic qi.
