lín xuān méi tóu wēi tiāo ， duì fāng zhè shì hé yì ？
林轩眉头微挑，对方这是何意？
Lin Xuan's brow furrowed slightly. What was the other party trying to convey?
suí hòu nà jù yuán páo xiāo de shēng yīn yǐ chuán rù le ěr duǒ lǐ ， bù guò què bìng méi yǒu gōng jī 。
随后那巨猿咆哮的声音已传入了耳朵里，不过却并没有攻击。
The roar of the giant ape reached his ears, but it did not attack.
nán dào shuō ……
难道说……
Could it be...
kàn dào zhè bān qíng jǐng ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐn yǐn bù yóu de yǒu le yī xiē chuǎi mó ， duì fāng shì jǐng gào zì jǐ bù néng yuè guò zhè tiáo héng xiàn me ？
看到这般情景，林轩心中隐隐不由得有了一些揣摩，对方是警告自己不能越过这条横线么？
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan had a vague sense of conjecture in his heart. Was the other party warning him not to cross this line?
lín xuān yuè xiǎng yuè jué de kào pǔ ér 。
林轩越想越觉得靠谱儿。
The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
wèn tí shì tā cǐ xíng ， shì wèi le qù xún zhǎo yuè ér de ， hǎo bù róng yì cái lái dào cǐ chù ， yòu zěn me kě néng bàn tú ér fèi ne ？
问题是他此行，是为了去寻找月儿的，好不容易才来到此处，又怎么可能半途而废呢？
But he was here to find Moon, and after such a difficult journey, how could he give up halfway?
míng zhī shān yǒu hǔ yì bù néng tuì suō ， kàn lái yī cháng è zhàn ， shì zài suǒ nán miǎn 。
明知山有虎亦不能退缩，看来一场恶战，是再所难免。
Even if there were tigers on the mountain, one couldn't retreat. It seemed an intense battle was inevitable.
lín xuān tàn xī ， yǎn qián zhè jiā huo ， kě shì yī bù dé le de qiáng dí 。
林轩叹息，眼前这家伙，可是一不得了的强敌。
Lin Xuan sighed. This guy before him was undoubtedly a formidable opponent.
piān piān zài zhè lǐ ， hái bù néng fēi xíng ， yě bù néng qū cè bǎo wù ， néng dòng yòng de shǒu duàn qū zhǐ kě shǔ 。
偏偏在这里，还不能飞行，也不能驱策宝物，能动用的手段屈指可数。
Moreover, he couldn’t fly or command his treasures here; his options were limited.
jì rán rú cǐ ， nà jiù gèng xū yào xiǎo xīn zài yì ， xiān xià shǒu wéi qiáng ， yě xǔ néng gòu qiǎng zhàn yī xiē xiān jī 。
既然如此，那就更需要小心在意，先下手为强，也许能够抢占一些先机。
Given that, he needed to be extra cautious and strike first. Perhaps he could gain some advantage.
lín xuān yī bù kuà le guò qù 。
林轩一步跨了过去。
With a step, Lin Xuan crossed the line.
shà shí jiān ， páo xiāo shēng dà zuò ， jiàn lín xuān shì zì jǐ de jǐng gào wèi wú wù ， nà jù yuán bó rán dà nù ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ xiōng guāng 。
霎时间，咆哮声大做，见林轩视自己的警告为无物，那巨猿勃然大怒，眼中闪过一缕凶光。
Instantly, the roar grew louder as the giant ape was enraged by Lin Xuan's disregard of its warning. A hint of ferocity flashed in its eyes.
liǎng zhǐ bō dà de quán tou yī chuí xiōng táng ， suí hòu biàn cháo zhe lín xuān zá luò 。
两只钵大的拳头一捶胸膛，随后便朝着林轩砸落。
It pounded its chest with two fist-sized fists and then slammed them towards Lin Xuan.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， suí zhe zhè yī quán dǎ chū ， tā fǎng fú tīng jiàn kōng qì pò suì de huí xiǎng ， ér nà yuán bō dà xiǎo de quán tou ， zài cùn jìn zhī zhōng ， què fǎng fú fàng dà le qiān bǎi bèi yī yàng 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，随着这一拳打出，他仿佛听见空气破碎的回响，而那圆钵大小的拳头，在寸进之中，却仿佛放大了千百倍一样。
Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted. As that punch came out, he seemed to hear the sound of air breaking. The fist, which was fist-sized, appeared to grow a thousand times larger as it approached.
nǎ lǐ hái shì shén me quán tou ， jiù rú tóng wàn rèn gāo de shān fēng ， dāng tóu xiàng zì jǐ zá luò 。
哪里还是什么拳头，就如同万仞高的山峰，当头像自己砸落。
No longer just a fist, it resembled a towering mountain crashing down on him.
lín xuān hài rán shī sè ， rú cǐ shén tōng dàng zhēn lìng rén zé shé ， ér qiě tā duǒ wú kě duǒ ， duì fāng zhè suí shǒu yī jī ， què fǎng fú jiāng tā suǒ dìng le 。
林轩骇然失色，如此神通当真令人咋舌，而且他躲无可躲，对方这随手一击，却仿佛将他锁定了。
Lin Xuan was taken aback by this power. Such a technique truly left one speechless. And he had no place to hide; the other party’s casual strike seemed to lock onto him.
ruò huàn yī míng dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， nǎ pà shì yǐ ròu shēn qiáng jiàn zhù chēng de yāo zú ， kǒng pà yě nán miǎn yǐn hèn yú cǐ chù 。
若换一名渡劫后期的修仙者，哪怕是以肉身强健著称的妖族，恐怕也难免饮恨于此处。
Even if a late-stage cultivator passed through here, even a demon race known for its robust physique would likely fall victim to such a blow.
rán ér lín xuān què bìng méi yǒu lù chū wèi jù zhī sè 。
然而林轩却并没有露出畏惧之色。
However, Lin Xuan did not show any signs of fear.
jīng yì de biǎo qíng yě shì zhuǎn shùn jiān jiù guī yú le xū wú 。
惊异的表情也是转瞬间就归于了虚无。
His expression of astonishment quickly faded.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī quán xiàng qián dǎ chū 。
右手抬起，一拳向前打出。
Raising his right hand, he punched forward.
yǔ duì fāng zhòng ruò wàn jūn de yī quán xiāng bǐ ， lín xuān zhè yī quán ， xiǎn de shì píng píng wú qí ， bù lù fēn háo huǒ qì 。
与对方重若万钧的一拳相比，林轩这一拳，显得是平平无奇，不露分毫火气。
Compared to the other party’s weighty punch, Lin Xuan's looked ordinary and unremarkable. It was as if he had no fire in him at all.
dà qiǎo ruò zhuō ！
大巧若拙！
Yet, silver lines appeared on the surface of his fist. As they dispersed, they transformed into a bright green Tai Chi symbol.
rán ér quán tou biǎo miàn ， què yǒu sī sī yín wén fú xiàn ér chū 。 yī sǎn suì liè zhī hòu ， huà wèi le yī qīng guāng yào mù de tài jí tú 。
然而拳头表面，却有丝丝银纹浮现而出。一散碎裂之后，化为了一青光耀目的太极图。
Spinning around, it emitted soft light.
dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， sàn fà chū róu hé de guāng zé 。
滴溜溜一转，散发出柔和的光泽。
Then, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
jǐn jiē zhe ， bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le 。
紧接着，不可思议的一幕发生了。
Lin Xuan's fist was no longer just a fist; instead, it turned into a vast blue sea, waves surging and crashing as if to engulf the mountain.
lín xuān de quán tou ， bù zài shì quán tou ， ér shì huà wèi le yī piàn wèi lán ， bō tāo xiōng yǒng de dà hǎi 。
林轩的拳头，不再是拳头，而是化为了一片蔚蓝，波涛汹涌的大海。
With the vastness of the sea, could it accommodate such a weighty attack?
hǎi miàn téng qǐ jù làng ， fǎng fú yào jiāng nà shān fēng bāo guǒ 。
海面腾起巨浪，仿佛要将那山峰包裹。
Thud!
yǐ dà hǎi de guǎng kuò ， lái róng nà zhè zhòng ruò wàn jūn de gōng jī me ？
以大海的广阔，来容纳这重若万钧的攻击么？
Finally, their fists collided. A thunderous sound echoed in his ears. When he looked again, there was no mountain, no sea; everything was an illusion.
dōng ！
咚！
A wave of force spread outwards.
zhōng yú ， liǎng gè quán tou xiāng zhuàng 。
终于，两个拳头相撞。
Gale-force winds shot out, and the broken walls around them were swept away. The world fell silent.
ěr biān fǎng fú xiǎng qǐ le yī jì jīng léi 。 ràng rén shén qíng huǎng hū ， zài dìng jīng kàn shí ， nǎ yǒu shén me shān fēng ， nǎ ér yǒu shén me dà hǎi ， suǒ yǒu de yī qiè ， dōu shì huàn xiàng 。
耳边仿佛响起了一记惊雷。让人神情恍惚，再定睛看时，哪有什么山峰，哪儿有什么大海，所有的一切，都是幻象。
Then Lin Xuan flew backward.
yī quān lì liàng de bō wén dàng kāi 。
一圈力量的波纹荡开。
It wasn't because he had overcome the mysterious restrictions but because the other party's punch had overturned him.
gāng fēng sì shè ， sì zhōu de cán yuán duàn bì dùn shí bèi héng sǎo yī kōng ， tiān dì yī piàn jì rán 。
罡风四射，四周的残垣断壁顿时被横扫一空，天地一片寂然。
This hard-fought battle left Lin Xuan at a disadvantage.
suí hòu lín xuān què fēi xiàng le hòu biān 。
随后林轩却飞向了后边。
His body crashed into the sheer cliff like a sack of cloth.
bìng bú shì kè fú le nà shén mì jìn zhì de shù fù ， ér shì bèi duì fāng yī quán de lì liàng xiān fān diào le 。
并不是克服了那神秘禁制的束缚，而是被对方一拳的力量掀翻掉了。
A large pit appeared before his eyes.
zhè yìng pīn yī jì 。 lín xuān dào dǐ hái shì luò zài le xià fēng 。
这硬拼一记。林轩到底还是落在了下风。
The cliff was so high it seemed to touch the clouds, harder than stone and metal. Yet, it now had several feet of depression, with cracks spreading out in all directions.
shēn tǐ rú pò bù dài yì bān ， hěn hěn de zhuàng jìn le nà jué bì lǐ miàn 。
身体如破布袋一般，狠狠的撞进了那绝壁里面。
Lin Xuan's heart was filled with shock.
dùn shí yí gè dà kēng yìng rù yǎn lián 。
顿时一个大坑映入眼帘。
Although he couldn't avoid the attack, there were other ways to defend himself. He chose to confront the power head-on to gauge its strength. It turned out to be much more terrifying than he imagined.
cǐ jué bì gāo sǒng rù yún ， bǐ jīn shí hái yào jiān yìng ， cǐ shí què āo xiàn shù zhàng yǒu yú 。 yī dào dào liè wén xiàng zhe sì zhōu yán zhǎn ér qù 。
此绝壁高耸入云，比金石还要坚硬，此时却凹陷数丈有余。一道道裂纹向着四周延展而去。
Even the true spirit known for its strength might not surpass this puppet.
lín xuān xīn zhōng gèng shì jīng hài yǐ jí 。
林轩心中更是惊骇以极。
Mountain Giant Ape!
duì fāng suī rán duǒ wú kě duǒ ， dàn bìng fēi méi yǒu bié de bàn fǎ fáng yù ， tā zhī suǒ yǐ xuǎn zé yǐ yìng pèng yìng ， jiù shì xiǎng yào shēn liàng duì fāng shén tōng jiū jìng rú hé 。 méi xiǎng dào bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào kě pà xǔ duō 。
对方虽然躲无可躲，但并非没有别的办法防御，他之所以选择以硬碰硬，就是想要伸量对方神通究竟如何。没想到比自己想象的还要可怕许多。
Lin Xuan muttered in his heart. Even such a true spirit might not be able to defeat this puppet.
biàn shì nà chuán shuō zhōng yǐ lì liàng zhù chēng de zhēn líng ， kǒng pà yě bù guò rú cǐ le 。
便是那传说中以力量著称的真灵，恐怕也不过如此了。
Before that thought could fully form, the giant ape roared and lunged forward with an elbow strike aimed at Lin Xuan.
shān yuè jù yuán ！
山岳巨猿！
Notably, he had something to add: you can search for "Hundred Refinements into Immortality Fantasy Rain" on WeChat. Add Fantasy Rain's WeChat for updates on their latest activities, photos, and more. Thanks!
lín xuān zài xīn zhōng dí gū ， biàn shì cǐ zhēn líng 。 yě wèi jiàn dé néng shèng guò yǎn qián de kuǐ lěi zhī wù 。
林轩在心中嘀咕，便是此真灵。也未见得能胜过眼前的傀儡之物。
Although the restrictions here were formidable, they did not affect his leaping ability as long as he didn't jump too high.
zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， nà jù yuán yī shēng páo xiāo ， yǐ è hěn hěn de pū guò lái le 。
这个念头尚未转过，那巨猿一声咆哮，已恶狠狠的扑过来了。
The elbow strike came suddenly and with immense force, like a thunderbolt. But Lin Xuan vanished from sight in an instant.
yí gè zhǒu chuí ， cháo zhe lín xuān zhuàng luò 。
一个肘锤，朝着林轩撞落。
He wasn’t using any advanced spell; instead, it was the agile techniques from Hundred Spirit True Interpretation that he had mastered. Lin Xuan’s knowledge extended beyond just cultivation; his martial arts skills were also impressive, far surpassing those of ordinary heavenly dao experts.
chā yī jiàn shì ， bù jì zì shù ， dà jiā kě yǐ zài wēi xìn zhōng sōu suǒ “ bǎi liàn chéng xiān huàn yǔ ”， tiān jiā huàn yǔ de wēi xìn ， shàng miàn yǒu huàn yǔ yǔ bǎi liàn chéng xiān zuì xīn de dòng tài ， shēng huó zhào piàn ， gēng xīn tōng zhī ， shì pín yóu xì ， qǐng dà jiā sōu suǒ “ bǎi liàn chéng xiān huàn yǔ ”， xiè xiè 。
插一件事，不计字数，大家可以在威信中搜索“百炼成仙幻雨”，添加幻雨的威信，上面有幻雨与百炼成仙最新的动态，生活照片，更新通知，视频游戏，请大家搜索“百炼成仙幻雨”，谢谢。
Back when he was a Profound Concealment cultivator, Lin Xuan had stumbled upon an unparalleled martial arts treatise, Hundred Spirit True Interpretation, by chance.
cǐ dì de jìn zhì suī rán lì hài ， bù néng shī zhǎn yù fēng zhī shù ， dàn zòng yuè zhī jiān ， què shì bù shòu yǐng xiǎng de ， dāng rán ， yǒu yí gè qián tí ， nà jiù shì bù kě yǐ tiào dé tài gāo 。
此地的禁制虽然厉害，不能施展驭风之术，但纵跃之间，却是不受影响的，当然，有一个前提，那就是不可以跳得太高。
In his spare time, he practiced it. Given his robust physique, he quickly mastered the techniques. Although Lin Xuan had honed Hundred Spirit True Interpretation to a high degree, he rarely got the opportunity to use them.
zhè ge zhǒu chuí lái de tū rán ， lì liàng zhī dà ， gèng yǒu rú léi tíng shǎn diàn ， rán ér lín xuān jǐn jǐn shēn xíng yí gè mó hú ， jiù cóng yuán dì xiāo shī diào le 。
这个肘锤来得突然，力量之大，更有如雷霆闪电，然而林轩仅仅身形一个模糊，就从原地消失掉了。
Unexpectedly, this moment provided an opportunity for him.
tā suǒ shī zhǎn de ， bìng bú shì shén me gāo shēn fǎ shù ， ér shì bǎi líng zhēn jiě zhōng de qīng gōng shēn fǎ ， lín xuān shè liè guǎng bó ， kě bù jǐn xiàn yú xiū xiān yī dào de ， biàn shì shì sú zhōng de wǔ gōng ， tā yì lìng rén zé shé ， yuǎn shèng xún cháng yì yì de tiān dào gāo shǒu 。
他所施展的，并不是什么高深法术，而是百灵真解中的轻功身法，林轩涉猎广博，可不仅限于修仙一道的，便是世俗中的武功，他亦令人咋舌，远胜寻常意义的天道高手。
Unable to fly, just leaping around was enough; it was agile movement, more practical than spells.
dāng nián hái shì dòng xuán qī xiū shì de shí hòu ， lín xuān jī yuán qiǎo hé ， céng dé yī jué shì wǔ gōng mì jí bǎi líng zhēn jiě 。
当年还是洞玄期修士的时候，林轩机缘巧合，曾得一绝世武功秘籍百灵真解。
Lin Xuan flicked his hand, and the Nine Palaces Needle Fish emerged. Although he couldn’t summon it, he could use it as a martial artist's weapon, slashing and chopping freely.
xián xiá zhī yú ， yě céng xiū xí ， yǐ tā ròu shēn qiáng hèng ， zì rán shì yì diǎn jiù tòu dì ， rán ér lín xuān suī rán jiāng bǎi líng zhēn jiě xiū liàn dào jí shēn de dì bù ， píng shí què gēn běn méi yǒu jī huì shī zhǎn shén me 。
闲暇之余，也曾修习，以他肉身强横，自然是一点就透地，然而林轩虽然将百灵真解修炼到极深的地步，平时却根本没有机会施展什么。
Suddenly, Lin Xuan appeared in front of the giant ape puppet.
méi xiǎng dào cǐ kè ， què yǒu le yòng wǔ zhī chù 。
没想到此刻，却有了用武之处。
A loud "thud" echoed as the puppet lost its target and crashed into the pit on the cliff face.
bù néng fēi xíng ， jǐn jǐn shì zòng yuè ， zì rán shì qīng gōng ， bǐ fǎ shù gèng jiā de shì yòng 。
不能飞行，仅仅是纵跃，自然是轻功，比法术更加的适用。
Self-inflicted!
lín xuān shǒu yī dǒu ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yú yóu ér chū ， suī rán bù néng jì qǐ ， dàn què kě yǐ dàng zuò wǔ zhě de bīng qì ， zòng héng kǎn pī 。
林轩手一抖，九宫须臾剑鱼游而出，虽然不能祭起，但却可以当做武者的兵器，纵横砍劈。
Lin Xuan wouldn’t let such an opportunity pass. Raising his right hand, he stabbed forward with a sword.
lín xuān shēn xíng yī zhuǎn ， bù zhī zěn me de ， yǐ lái dào le duì fāng de shēn qián 。
林轩身形一转，不知怎么的，已来到了对方的身前。
A sharp "sizzle" sounded as visible sword energy transformed into a crescent moon-like blade, slicing towards the giant ape.
zhǐ tīng “ hōng ” de yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr biān ， què shì nà jù yuán kuǐ lěi shī qù mù biāo ， zì jǐ zhuàng jìn le jué bì de dà kēng lǐ miàn 。
只听“轰”的一声巨响传入耳边，却是那巨猿傀儡失去目标，自己撞进了绝壁的大坑里面。
Roar!
zuò jiǎn zì fù ！
作茧自缚！
The roar filled Lin Xuan's ears. The puppet didn't dodge; instead, it opened its blood-stained maw to reveal a black light.
zhè me hǎo de jī huì lín xuān nǎ ér huì fàng guò ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī jiàn xiàng qián cì qù 。
这么好的机会林轩哪儿会放过，右手抬起，一剑向前刺去。
Colliding with the sword energy, the destructive force nearly flattened everything nearby. Cracks spread in all directions, and the broken walls seemed to have weathered another storm.
dùn shí ， cī lā shēng dà qǐ ， ròu yǎn kě jiàn de sēn rán jiàn qì ， huà zuò yuè yá xíng de lì máng ， hōng xiàng jù yuán de fāng xiàng 。
顿时，刺啦声大起，肉眼可见的森然剑气，化作月牙形的厉芒，轰像巨猿的方向。
Lin Xuan kicked off the ground, creating a massive pit beneath him. Utilizing this momentum, he appeared like a meteor, his sword blade shooting up as it struck again.
hǒu ！
吼！
Facing Lin Xuan's attack, the puppet didn't retreat but advanced. Its right arm blurred, and its hand transformed into an unusual weapon.
páo xiāo shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà jù yuán kuǐ lěi méi duǒ ， ér shì xuè pén dà kǒu yī zhāng ， biàn kàn jiàn le yī lǚ yǒu hēi de guāng máng 。
咆哮声传入耳朵，那巨猿傀儡没躲，而是血盆大口一张，便看见了一缕黝黑的光芒。
Neither knife nor sword, yet incredibly powerful.
yǔ jiàn qì zhuàng zài yì qǐ ， cuī kū lā xiǔ de wēi lì ， jī hū jiāng fù jìn yí wéi píng dì ， liè hén xiàng sì miàn bā fāng màn yán ， cán yuán duàn bì fǎng fú yòu jīng lì le yī cì fēng bào yì bān 。
与剑气撞在一起，摧枯拉朽的威力，几乎将附近夷为平地，裂痕向四面八方蔓延，残垣断壁仿佛又经历了一次风暴一般。
"Swish swish swish," the black blade danced, forming a spherical shape to meet Lin Xuan’s sword energy.
lín xuān jiǎo xià yī dàn ， dì miàn zhòu rán yǒu yī jù dà de shēn kēng chū xiàn ， jiè zhe zhè gǔ jù lì ， lín xuān fǎng fú huà wèi liú xīng xù yǔ ， shǒu zhōng jiàn máng chōng tiān ér qǐ ， zài cì xiàng zhe duì fāng kǎn qù 。
林轩脚下一弹，地面骤然有一巨大的深坑出现，借着这股巨力，林轩仿佛化为流星絮羽，手中剑芒冲天而起，再次向着对方砍去。
"Idiot!"
miàn duì lín xuān de gōng jī ， nà jù yuán kuǐ lěi bù tuì fǎn jìn ， yòu shǒu yī zhèn mó hú ， shǒu bì jū rán huàn huà chéng le yī jiàn bīng qì 。
面对林轩的攻击，那巨猿傀儡不退反进，右手一阵模糊，手臂居然幻化成了一件兵器。
A sneer appeared on Lin Xuan's lips. After testing that punch, he knew the other party could only be outsmarted, not fought head-on. He moved swiftly and cleverly, dodging the attack.
fēi dāo fēi jiàn ， gǔ guài yǐ jí ， què yòu wēi lì wú bǐ 。
非刀非剑，古怪以极，却又威力无比。
That previous sword strike was just a feint; his real move was with his left arm, delivering a powerful punch to the puppet’s abdomen.
“ shuā shuā shuā “， duì fāng shǒu bì yī wǔ ， hēi sè de dāo guāng ， zòng héng bǎi hé ， jìng rán guǒ chéng le yī yuán qiú de xíng zhuàng 。
“刷刷刷“，对方手臂一舞，黑色的刀光，纵横捭阖，竟然裹成了一圆球的形状。
The black blade flashed as Lin Xuan released all his stored energy in this punch. Layered patterns appeared, propelling him forward and sending the puppet flying.
yíng xiàng lín xuān de jiàn máng 。
迎向林轩的剑芒。
"Bang!"
“ chǔn huò ！”
“蠢货！”
The giant ape was sent into the air but fell back down after only a few dozen feet due to the restricting force pulling it back to the ground. (To be continued...)
Lin Xuan's brow furrowed slightly. What was the other party trying to convey?
The roar of the giant ape reached his ears, but it did not attack.
Could it be...
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan had a vague sense of conjecture in his heart. Was the other party warning him not to cross this line?
The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
But he was here to find Moon, and after such a difficult journey, how could he give up halfway?
Even if there were tigers on the mountain, one couldn't retreat. It seemed an intense battle was inevitable.
Lin Xuan sighed. This guy before him was undoubtedly a formidable opponent.
Moreover, he couldn’t fly or command his treasures here; his options were limited.
Given that, he needed to be extra cautious and strike first. Perhaps he could gain some advantage.
With a step, Lin Xuan crossed the line.
Roar!
Instantly, the roar grew louder as the giant ape was enraged by Lin Xuan's disregard of its warning. A hint of ferocity flashed in its eyes.
It pounded its chest with two fist-sized fists and then slammed them towards Lin Xuan.

A loud "thud" echoed as the puppet lost its target and crashed into the pit on the cliff face.
Self-inflicted!
Lin Xuan wouldn’t let such an opportunity pass. Raising his right hand, he stabbed forward with a sword.
A sharp "sizzle" sounded as visible sword energy transformed into a crescent moon-like blade, slicing towards the giant ape.
Roar!
The roar filled Lin Xuan's ears. The puppet didn't dodge; instead, it opened its blood-stained maw to reveal a black light.
Colliding with the sword energy, the destructive force nearly flattened everything nearby. Cracks spread in all directions, and the broken walls seemed to have weathered another storm.
Lin Xuan kicked off the ground, creating a massive pit beneath him. Utilizing this momentum, he appeared like a meteor, his sword blade shooting up as it struck again.
Facing Lin Xuan's attack, the puppet didn't retreat but advanced. Its right arm blurred, and its hand transformed into an unusual weapon.
Neither knife nor sword, yet incredibly powerful.
"Swish swish swish," the black blade danced, forming a spherical shape to meet Lin Xuan’s sword energy.
"Idiot!"
A sneer appeared on Lin Xuan's lips. After testing that punch, he knew the other party could only be outsmarted, not fought head-on. He moved swiftly and cleverly, dodging the attack.
That previous sword strike was just a feint; his real move was with his left arm, delivering a powerful punch to the puppet’s abdomen.
The black blade flashed as Lin Xuan released all his stored energy in this punch. Layered patterns appeared, propelling him forward and sending the puppet flying.
"Bang!"
The giant ape was sent into the air but fell back down after only a few dozen feet due to the restricting force pulling it back to the ground. (To be continued...)
