bǎo shé tóng kǒng wēi suō ， suī rán jīng yà yú lín xuān jīn fēi xī bǐ ， dàn zì rán yě bú huì zuò yǐ dài bì 。
宝蛇瞳孔微缩，虽然惊讶于林轩今非昔比，但自然也不会坐以待毙。
The snake's eyes narrowed as it processed the transformation of Lin Xuan. Although surprised by his newfound strength, it wasn't about to sit idly and await its fate.
xiù páo yī fú ， dàn jiàn líng guāng tūn tǔ ， yī fù gǔ piáo de huà zhóu yóu tā de yī xiù zhōng fēi lüè ér chū 。
袖袍一拂，但见灵光吞吐，一副古朴的画轴由她的衣袖中飞掠而出。
With a wave of her sleeve, a flicker of spiritual light appeared, and an ancient scroll emerged from her sleeves.
yī zhǎn ér kāi ， què shì yī fù mó yù de huà juàn ， qīng xī yì cháng de chéng xiàn jìn le yǎn qián 。
一展而开，却是一副魔域的画卷，清晰异常的呈现进了眼前。
Unfolding, the scroll depicted the魔域 (Demon Realm), with clear details of palaces, mountains, waterfalls, and various bizarre scenes. But what stood out most were the countless demons it portrayed—some with green faces and sharp teeth, others with two heads or four arms—all grotesque in appearance.
lǐ miàn tíng tái lóu gé ， huāng shān pù bù ， gè zhǒng gǔ guài de jǐng wù shǔ bù shèng shǔ 。
里面亭台楼阁，荒山瀑布，各种古怪的景物数不胜数。
The number was vast, especially those at the forefront, drawing attention. With a shake of her hand, countless demonic runes surged forth, blurring the entire scroll as if the scenes within had come to life.
dàn zuì xiǎn yǎn de ， hái shì lǐ miàn suǒ miáo huì de wú shù mó zú 。
但最显眼的，还是里面所描绘的无数魔族。
Instantly, countless soldiers appeared before the snake's body, numbering in the tens of thousands.
huò qīng miàn liáo yá ， huò shuāng tóu sì bì ， zǒng ér yán zhī ， měi yí gè jiē xíng mào gǔ guài yǐ jí 。
或青面獠牙，或双头四臂，总而言之，每一个皆形貌古怪以极。
"Go!"
shù liàng gèng shì jí duō ， yóu qí shì lǐng tóu de jǐ gè ， fèn wài yǐn rén zhù mù 。
数量更是极多，尤其是领头的几个，分外引人注目。
A grayish-white expression flashed across her face as she raised her jade hand and pointed it forward.
suí hòu cǐ nǚ shǒu yī dǒu ， wú shù mó wén kuáng yǒng ér chū ， zhěng fú huà juàn yī zhèn mó hú ， lǐ miàn de jǐng wù jìng fǎng fú huó guò lái le 。
随后此女手一抖，无数魔纹狂涌而出，整幅画卷一阵模糊，里面的景物竟仿佛活过来了。
A loud crack echoed through the air as ancient demons cast spells, each wielding different types of treasures—swords, spears, swords, and halberds—all mixed with a sea of demonic energy, converging on the Nine Palaces.
dùn shí ， bīng jiǎ wú shù ， bǎo shé de shēn qián ， yǒng xiàn chū shǔ yǐ wàn jì de mó zú 。
顿时，兵甲无数，宝蛇的身前，涌现出数以万计的魔族。
The clashing sounds filled Lin Xuan's ears as his offensive was halted.
“ qù ！”
“去！”
"Even a worm dies hard. This woman truly is the True Demon Ancestor," Lin Xuan said, showing a hint of resignation. But what followed left him speechless.
cǐ nǚ liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī huī bái zhī yì ， yù shǒu tái qǐ ， chōng zhe qián fāng yì diǎn ér qù 。
此女脸上闪过一丝灰白之意，玉手抬起，冲着前方一点而去。
The snake suddenly flew off to one side, despite being a True Demon Ancestor, it chose not to engage in battle and flee instead.
dùn shí ， pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， nà xiē gǔ mó fēn fēn qiā jué shī fǎ ， gè zì jì chū bù tóng xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù 。
顿时，破空声大做，那些古魔纷纷掐诀施法，各自祭出不同形状的宝物。
Lin Xuan was taken aback but quickly admired the snake's decisiveness. A man who can adapt is wise; under such circumstances, she had made the most sensible choice. If he were in her position, he would likely do the same.
dāo qiāng jiàn jǐ ， bù yī ér zú 。
刀枪剑戟，不一而足。
But the more so, the less room there was for this woman to escape. Otherwise, once she returned to the Demon Realm, it could leave him with endless troubles.
jiā zá zhe màn tiān de mó qì ， yíng xiàng le jiǔ gōng xū yú 。
夹杂着漫天的魔气，迎像了九宫须臾。
Yet, with so many demon soldiers, it wasn't wise to engage them all at once.
dīng dīng dāng dāng dé dào shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān de gōng shì jìng bèi dǎng zhù 。
叮叮当当得到声音传入耳朵，林轩的攻势竟被挡住。
Lin Xuan's face showed a look of difficulty.
“ bǎi zú zhī chóng ， sǐ ér bù jiāng ， cǐ nǚ bù kuì shì zhēn mó shǐ zǔ 。”
“百足之虫，死而不僵，此女不愧是真魔始祖。”
"Brother Lin, these fellows can be handled by us two."
lín xuān liǎn shàng ， liú lù chū yī lǚ tàn xī zhī sè ， dàn jiē xià lái de yí mù ， què ràng tā mù dèng kǒu dāi le 。
林轩脸上，流露出一缕叹息之色，但接下来的一幕，却让他目瞪口呆了。
At this moment, Xia Die’s voice rang in his ears. Yue Er’s face was resolute.
zhǐ jiàn bǎo shé hún shēn mó máng yì qǐ ， jìng háo bù yóu yù de xiàng yī páng fēi qù 。
只见宝蛇浑身魔芒一起，竟毫不犹豫的像一旁飞去。
"You two..."
táng táng zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， jū rán bù zhàn ér táo 。
堂堂真魔始祖，居然不战而逃。
Lin Xuan hesitated. The demon soldiers' diagram clearly belonged to the snake as its top-secret treasure. While he wasn't afraid of it, he wasn’t sure if Yue Er and Xia Die could handle such a situation.
lín xuān yǒu xiē cuò è ， dàn hěn kuài yě pèi fú qǐ bǎo shé de jué duàn lì le 。
林轩有些错愕，但很快也佩服起宝蛇的决断力了。
"Brother Lin, you needn't worry. A direct confrontation might not be within our capabilities, but merely delaying them is something we can manage. Don’t forget, my true form is the Illusory Moon Moth," Xia Die said with confidence.
néng qū néng shēn dà zhàng fū ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， tā zuò chū le zuì wèi míng zhì de xuǎn zé 。
能屈能伸大丈夫，这种情况下，她做出了最为明智的选择。
"So, I'll leave it to you."
jiǎ rú zì jǐ yǔ tā yì dì ér chǔ ， shí yǒu **， tóng yàng huì zhè me zuò de 。
假如自己与她易地而处，十有**，同样会这么做的。
Lin Xuan was no dilly-dallying cultivator and knew that time was of the essence. The snake had suffered severe injuries, but where Ice Soul was, he didn't know. If the two women met up, he could become their prey—let alone avenge his father or even survive.
dàn yuè shì rú cǐ ， yuè bù néng ràng cǐ nǚ táo tuō 。
但越是如此，越不能让此女逃脱。
With this in mind, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated, merging with his sword and transforming into a blinding silver streak that shot forward.
fǒu zé yí dàn fàng hǔ guī shān 。 jiāng gěi zì jǐ liú xià wú qióng hòu huàn 。
否则一旦放虎归山。将给自己留下无穷后患。
The streak shone brilliantly, emitting森然剑气 (sombre sword energy).
zhǐ shì yǎn qián de mó bīng zhè me duō ， dào yě bù yí duì fù 。
只是眼前的魔兵这么多，倒也不宜对付。
Lin Xuan chose the weakest point of the demon array. The silvery light cut through the ancient demons' roars, quickly carving out a bloody path.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī wéi nán zhī sè 。
林轩脸上露出一丝为难之色。
However, the remaining demons were fearless and charged towards Lin Xuan one after another.
“ lín xiōng ， zhè xiē jiā huo ， jiāo yǔ wǒ men liǎng rén jiù xíng le 。”
“林兄，这些家伙，交予我们两人就行了。”
At this moment, Xia Die moved.
jiù zài zhè shí ， xiǎo dié de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yuè ér de liǎn shàng ， yì shì yī pài jiān rèn zhī sè 。
就在这时，小蝶的声音传入耳朵，月儿的脸上，亦是一派坚韧之色。
She spun around, vanishing in an instant, replaced by a magnificent butterfly.
“ nǐ men liǎng gè ……”
“你们两个……”
Illusory Moon Moth!
lín xuān yǒu xiē chí yí ， zhè mó bīng tú ， míng xiǎn shì bǎo shé yā xiāng dǐ de bǎo wù ， zì jǐ gù rán bù jù 。 dàn yuè ér yǔ xiǎo dié néng fǒu yìng fù ， hái zhēn bù tài hǎo shuō 。
林轩有些迟疑，这魔兵图，明显是宝蛇压箱底的宝物，自己固然不惧。但月儿与小蝶能否应付，还真不太好说。
This girl revealed her true form.
“ lín xiōng ， nǐ bù yòng duō lǜ ， yìng pèng ， wǒ men de shí lì ， huò xǔ yǒu suǒ bù jí ， dàn jǐn jǐn shì tuō yán de huà ， hái shì yǒu bǎ wò dì ， nǐ nán dào wàng le 。 wǒ de běn tǐ nǎi shì huàn yuè é 。” xiǎo dié de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī xī xiào zhī sè ， xìn xīn mǎn mǎn de shuō 。
“林兄，你不用多虑，硬碰，我们的实力，或许有所不及，但仅仅是拖延的话，还是有把握地，你难道忘了。我的本体乃是幻月蛾。”小蝶的脸上露出一丝嬉笑之色，信心满满的说。
With a flap of its wings, countless light points appeared.
“ nà me ， jiù bài tuō nǐ le 。”
“那么，就拜托你了。”
Counting them, there were tens of thousands. Suddenly, each light point transformed into an Illusory Moon Moth the size of an inch.
lín xuān zì rán bú shì tuō ní dài shuǐ de xiū xiān zhě ， yě zhī dào rú jīn de xíng shì què rán dān gē bù dé 。 bǎo shé shì shēn shòu zhòng shāng le ， dàn shuí zhī dào bīng pò yòu zài hé chù ， yí dàn èr nǚ huì hé ， zì jǐ zhè liè rén 。 kě jiù biàn chéng liè wù ， bié shuō bào chóu xuě hèn ， lián xiǎo mìng ér dōu yǒu kě néng jiāo dài zài zhè lǐ de 。
林轩自然不是拖泥带水的修仙者，也知道如今的形势确然耽搁不得。宝蛇是身受重伤了，但谁知道冰魄又在何处，一旦二女汇合，自己这猎人。可就变成猎物，别说报仇雪恨，连小命儿都有可能交代在这里的。
Lin Xuan turned his gaze back, wondering what Xia Die intended to do.
niàn jí zhì cǐ 。 lín xuān bù zài yóu yù ， rén jiàn hé yī ， huà wèi yī dào cì mù jīng hóng xiàng qián fēi qù 。
念及至此。林轩不再犹豫，人剑合一，化为一道刺目惊虹向前飞去。
Unexpectedly, all the Illusory Moon Moths began flapping their wings simultaneously. As they did so, a series of powerful winds emerged, converging into one massive force that colored the sky and distorted reality with its power.
jīng hóng zuò cuǐ càn de yín sè ， biǎo miàn yǒu yī dào dào sēn rán jiàn qì mí sàn ér chū 。
惊虹做璀璨的银色，表面有一道道森然剑气弥散而出。
All the demons were temporarily trapped in this illusionary realm.
lín xuān suǒ xuǎn de zhèng shì nà xiē mó zú bù zhèn de bó ruò zhī chù ， dàn jiàn yín máng liàng lì ， jiā zá zhe gǔ mó de nù hǒu jīng hū ， hěn kuài jiù shā chū le yī tiáo xuè lù 。
林轩所选的正是那些魔族布阵的薄弱之处，但见银芒亮丽，夹杂着古魔的怒吼惊呼，很快就杀出了一条血路。
Meanwhile, Yue Er was not idle. With a wave of her hand, various magical runes appeared, transforming into different types of treasures to fiercely attack nearby demons.
rán ér shèng xià de mó zú què hàn bù wèi sǐ ， qián pū hòu jì de xiàng lín xuān yī yǒng ér qù 。
然而剩下的魔族却悍不畏死，前仆后继的像林轩一涌而去。
Unfortunately, their numbers were too great; completely eliminating them wasn't something that could be done in an instant.
zhè shí hòu ， xiǎo dié dòng le 。
这时候，小蝶动了。
But it did provide some relief for Xia Die, reducing the pressure by about thirty percent.
zhǐ jiàn tā shēn xíng dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， xiāo shī bú jiàn ， qǔ ér dài zhī ， shì yī jù dà ér měi lì de hú dié fú xiàn jìn le yǎn lián 。
只见她身形滴溜溜一转，消失不见，取而代之，是一巨大而美丽的蝴蝶浮现进了眼帘。
Lin Xuan used his divine sense to survey the situation and felt satisfied. Xia Die was truly remarkable; he had no worries about dealing with the demons behind him.
huàn yuè é ！
幻月蛾！
With no concerns, Lin Xuan took a deep breath and increased his speed tenfold as he chased after where the snake had fled.
zhè yā tou jū rán liàng chū le zì jǐ de běn tǐ 。
这丫头居然亮出了自己的本体。
...
jù dà de chì bǎng yī shàn ， dùn shí fú xiàn chū wú shù de guāng diǎn 。
巨大的翅膀一扇，顿时浮现出无数的光点。
"Cough... cough..."
mì mì má má ， zú yǒu shù wàn zhī duō ， suí hòu bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le ， měi yí gè guāng diǎn ， biàn huà chéng le yī cùn xǔ dà xiǎo de huàn yuè é 。
密密麻麻，足有数万之多，随后不可思议的一幕发生了，每一个光点，变化成了一寸许大小的幻月蛾。
Ten million miles away, the snake flew while spitting blood. Her hair was disheveled, and she looked like a dog that had lost its pack. She hated Lin Xuan even more.
lín xuān zài dùn guāng zhōng ， yě bù yóu huí guò tóu ， zhè yā tou jiū jìng xiǎng yào zuò shén me ？
林轩在遁光中，也不由回过头，这丫头究竟想要做什么？
She also regretted her carelessness, coming alone to find Lin Xuan and advising Ice Soul to return to the Demon Realm first. Now, she was utterly alone.
chū hū lín xuān yù jì ， xià yī kè ， suǒ yǒu de huàn yuè é ， tóng shí gǔ dòng qǐ chì bǎng lái le ， suí zhe tā men de dòng zuò ， yī dào dào gāng fēng fú xiàn ér chū 。
出乎林轩预计，下一刻，所有的幻月蛾，同时鼓动起翅膀来了，随着它们的动作，一道道罡风浮现而出。
"Damn it, I must find a weak point in space and return to the Demon Realm; otherwise, my current state won't last long."
suí hòu huì jù chéng yī dà gǔ ， tiān dì wèi zhī biàn sè ， gāng fēng suǒ guò zhī chù ， xū kōng gèng shì yī zhèn dàng yàng mó hú ， jiè zhe zhè tiān dì zhī lì ， huàn huà chū yī jù dà de huàn jìng lái le 。
随后汇聚成一大股，天地为之变色，罡风所过之处，虚空更是一阵荡漾模糊，借着这天地之力，幻化出一巨大的幻境来了。
The snake’s self-talk echoed in his ears, but soon her expression tightened as she turned around. There seemed to be nothing amiss behind her, yet she felt someone was chasing her.
suǒ yǒu de mó zú ， jiē bèi zàn qiě kùn zhù 。
所有的魔族，皆被暂且困住。
"This damn Lin boy is like a leech, making it useless for me to use the Demon Soldier Scroll," she muttered nervously.
ér yuè ér yě méi yǒu xián zhe ， yù shǒu huī wǔ ， yī dào dào fǎ jué fú xiàn ér chū ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， xuán yīn bǎo hé biàn huàn chéng gè zhǒng xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù ， dà sì zhǎn shā zhe fù jìn de mó zú 。
而月儿也没有闲着，玉手挥舞，一道道法诀浮现而出，随着她的动作，玄阴宝盒变幻成各种形状的宝物，大肆斩杀着附近的魔族。
Her condition was indeed critical.
kě xī duì fāng shù liàng tài duō ， xiǎng yào zhǎn jǐn ， gēn běn bú shì yī shí piàn kè kě yǐ bàn dào de 。
可惜对方数量太多，想要斩尽，根本不是一时片刻可以办到的。
Facing an ordinary late-stage cultivator might have been possible, but this Lin boy wasn't an ordinary cultivator; engaging him now would be extremely unwise.
dàn yě bìng fēi yī sī zuò yòng yě wú ， zhì shǎo rú cǐ yī lái ， kě yǐ tì xiǎo dié fēn dān sān sì chéng yā lì zhī duō 。
但也并非一丝作用也无，至少如此一来，可以替小蝶分担三四成压力之多。
A hint of hesitation flashed across her face as she slowed down and waved her hands before forming claws to grab forward.
lín xuān yòng shén shí jiāng hòu miàn de qíng xíng chá tàn qīng chǔ ， liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī mǎn yì zhī sè ， xiǎo dié zhè yā tou hái zhēn shì liǎo de ， kàn lái èr rén yìng fù shēn hòu de mó zú shì jué wú wèn tí le 。
林轩用神识将后面的情形查探清楚，脸上露出一丝满意之色，小蝶这丫头还真是了得，看来二人应付身后的魔族是绝无问题了。
With a tearing sound, a white hole appeared.
méi yǒu hòu gù zhī yōu ， lín xuān xī le kǒu qì ， suǒ huà jīng hóng de sù dù ， dùn shí bǐ gāng gāng kuài le bèi xǔ ， xiàng zhe bǎo shé gāng gāng táo nì de dì fāng zhuī qù 。
没有后顾之忧，林轩吸了口气，所化惊虹的速度，顿时比刚刚快了倍许，向着宝蛇刚刚逃匿的地方追去。
Without hesitation, the woman vanished into it.
……
……
Using such a method for long-distance travel through space.
“ hāi hāi ké ……”
“咳咳咳……”
After about half an hour,
shí yú wàn lǐ zhī wài ， bǎo shé yī biān fēi ， yī biān ké xiě ， cǐ shí tā fà jì líng luàn ， huáng huáng rán yǒu rú sàng jiā zhī quǎn ， xīn zhōng gèng shì hèn dú le lín xuān 。
十余万里之外，宝蛇一边飞，一边咳血，此时她发髻凌乱，惶惶然有如丧家之犬，心中更是恨毒了林轩。
The sharp crack of air echoed as Lin Xuan arrived with a blinding silver streak.
tóng shí yòu shēn huǐ zì jǐ tài guò dà yì ， bù gāi gū shēn yī rén lái zhǎo lín xuān dì ， gèng bù yīng gāi quàn bīng pò jiě jiě xiān huí mó jiè qù ， yǐ zhì yú zì jǐ xiàn zài ， gū lì wú yuán 。
同时又深悔自己太过大意，不该孤身一人来找林轩地，更不应该劝冰魄姐姐先回魔界去，以至于自己现在，孤立无援。
He turned his head to survey the surroundings and released his divine sense.
“ kě wù ， bì xū jǐn kuài zhǎo yī kōng jiān bó ruò zhī chù ， huí dào mó jiè ， fǒu zé ， zì jǐ xiàn zài zhè zhǒng zhuàng tài ， gēn běn zhī chēng bù liǎo duō jiǔ de gōng fu 。”
“可恶，必须尽快找一空间薄弱之处，回到魔界，否则，自己现在这种状态，根本支撑不了多久的功夫。”
Opening his eyes, a faint smile played on his lips: "Space travel—using such methods to escape proves you are at your wit's end."
The snake's eyes narrowed as it processed the transformation of Lin Xuan. Although surprised by his newfound strength, it wasn't about to sit idly and await its fate.
With a wave of her sleeve, a flicker of spiritual light appeared, and an ancient scroll emerged from her sleeves.
Unfolding, the scroll depicted the魔域 (Demon Realm), with clear details of palaces, mountains, waterfalls, and various bizarre scenes. But what stood out most were the countless demons it portrayed—some with green faces and sharp teeth, others with two heads or four arms—all grotesque in appearance.

Instantly, countless soldiers appeared before the snake's body, numbering in the tens of thousands.
"Go!"
A grayish-white expression flashed across her face as she raised her jade hand and pointed it forward.
A loud crack echoed through the air as ancient demons cast spells, each wielding different types of treasures—swords, spears, swords, and halberds—all mixed with a sea of demonic energy, converging on the Nine Palaces.
