儿也没有闲着。魔幡轻摇。伴随着阴气鬼雾。数百头里面蜂拥而出。张开口。各自喷出五颜六色的光柱。
The boy wasn't idle either. The demon banner gently swayed, accompanied by a mist of ghostly aura. Hundreds of beasts emerged from within, each opening their mouths and spewing out colorful light beams.
zhè xiē yāo shòu děng jí suī rán bù gāo 。 dàn shèng zài shù liàng chōng zú 。 shù bǎi tóu yì qǐ dòng shǒu 。 wēi shì dǎo shì xiāng dāng jīng rén le 。
这些妖兽等级虽然不高。但胜在数量充足。数百头一起动手。威势倒是相当惊人了。
Though these beast spirits weren’t of high rank, their sheer number made them quite formidable. With hundreds acting together, the threat was indeed considerable.
lín xuān zhè huí kě shì xià le sǐ shǒu 。 sù zhàn sù jué 。 fǒu zé yí dàn bèi duì fāng chán shàng 。 dà shì kě jiù bù miào 。
林轩这回可是下了死手。速战速决。否则一旦被对方缠上。大事可就不妙。
Lin Xuan had no time for mercy; he aimed to finish this quickly. Otherwise, if they got entangled, it could spell trouble.
chī de yī shēng qīng xiǎng 。 piāo yún luò xuě jiàn yǐ jīng jiāng jìn zhì pò chú 。 yī tóu zhā jìn mó yún lǐ miàn le 。 dào dǐ shì hóng huāng shí qī de dǐng jiē gǔ bǎo 。 wēi lì què yǒu fēi fán zhī chù 。
嗤的一声轻响。飘云落雪剑已经将禁制破除。一头扎进魔云里面了。到底是洪荒时期的顶阶古宝。威力确有非凡之处。
A sharp hiss echoed as the Flying Cloud Snowfall Sword broke through the禁制 and plunged into the demon clouds. It was a top-grade ancient treasure from the Primordial Era, its power truly extraordinary.
jiē zhe biàn shì nà xiē shòu hún pēn tǔ chū lái de guāng shù 。 suī rán yào shāo màn yì diǎn 。 dàn yě gēn zhe dǎ rù le mó yún lǐ miàn 。
接着便是那些兽魂喷吐出来的光束。虽然要稍慢一点。但也跟着打入了魔云里面。
Following were the light beams emitted by the beast spirits. Though slightly slower, they too pierced into the demon clouds.
mó yún yī jù liè fān yǒng 。 sì hū yě shòu le bù xiǎo de zhèn dàng 。 guǐ qì sàn kāi 。 yí gè xū yǐng què zhú jiàn qīng xī le qǐ lái 。
魔云一剧烈翻涌。似乎也受了不小的震荡。鬼气散开。一个虚影却逐渐清晰了起来。
The demon clouds churned violently, seemingly suffering significant shockwaves. The ghostly aura dispersed, and an illusory figure gradually became clearer.
sān lǚ zhǎng xū 。 róng mào rú yǎ 。 shēn gāo zhǎng xiàng yǔ hào tiān guǐ dì méi yǒu yī sī bù tóng 。
三缕长须。容貌儒雅。身高长相与昊天鬼帝没有一丝不同。
Three long strands of beard, a refined appearance, and height and build identical to the Heavenly Ghost Emperor.
guò wèi dǎo shì dī le hěn duō 。 zhǐ yǒu guǐ wáng de jìng jiè zuǒ yòu 。
过为倒是低了很多。只有鬼王的境界左右。
However, Lin Xuan’s expression showed no relief; instead, it grew more serious. His previous attack had severely wounded ordinary condensation core cultivators, but this entity easily absorbed the blow without any harm.
rán ér lín xuān biǎo qíng què méi yǒu sī háo qīng sōng 。 fǎn ér xiǎn de yuè de níng zhòng 。 gāng cái de gōng jī zú yǐ zhòng chuāng pǔ tōng de níng dān qī xiū shì 。 kě duì fāng què qīng yì jiē le xià lái 。 méi yǒu shòu dào yī sī shāng hài 。
然而林轩表情却没有丝毫轻松。反而显的越的凝重。刚才的攻击足以重创普通的凝丹期修士。可对方却轻易接了下来。没有受到一丝伤害。
No wonder it was the incarnation of the Ghost Emperor—it couldn’t be treated as an ordinary ghost.
bù kuì shì guǐ dì de huà shēn 。 bù néng dàng zuò pǔ tōng de yīn hún kàn dài 。
不愧是鬼帝的化身。不能当做普通的阴魂看待。
Lin Xuan felt his heart rate accelerate. He stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips. Of course, Lin Xuan wasn't afraid of losing; even if this fellow's abilities were bizarre, as long as he was at the condensation core stage, victory was assured. The key issue was that he didn’t have time to waste here.
lín xuān gǎn jué zì jǐ de xīn tiào - rán jiā kuài 。
林轩感觉自己的心跳-然加快。
He had no idea when those two old monsters would finish their battle. The intense spiritual energy fluctuations from afar made Lin Xuan’s resolve to act quickly even stronger.
shēn chū shé tou 。 tiǎn le tiǎn yǒu xiē gān sè de zuǐ jiǎo 。 dāng rán 。 lín xuān dào bìng fēi hài pà zì jǐ luò bài 。 jiù suàn zhè jiā huo de shén tōng zài guǐ yì 。 zhǐ yào shì níng dān qī 。 zì jǐ shèng lì jiù méi yǒu wèn tí 。 guān jiàn shì 。 zì jǐ méi yǒu duō yú de shí jiān hào zài zhè lǐ 。
伸出舌头。舔了舔有些干涩的嘴角。当然。林轩倒并非害怕自己落败。就算这家伙的神通再诡异。只要是凝丹期。自己胜利就没有问题。关键是。自己没有多余的时间耗在这里。
Reaching out, he tapped his storage bag, and a clear, emerald flute floated up.
tiān zhī dào nà liǎng gè lǎo guài wù shén me shí hòu huì fēn chū shèng fù 。 yuǎn chù jù liè de líng qì zhèn dàng ràng lín xuān sù zhàn sù jué de xīn sī yuè de qiáng liè 。
天知道那两个老怪物什么时候会分出胜负。远处剧烈的灵气震荡让林轩速战速决的心思越的强烈。
Lin Xuan waved his hands, casting several spells on the flute.
shēn chū shǒu lái 。 zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi 。 yī gēn qīng cuì bì lǜ de yù dí piāo fú le qǐ lái 。
伸出手来。在储物袋上一拍。一根清脆碧绿的玉笛漂浮了起来。
Sssshh. A sharp sound echoed as the flute emitted dazzling light, transforming into a giant snake over ten feet long with a diameter of about a water bucket.
lín xuān shuāng shǒu lián huī 。 jǐ dào fǎ jué dǎ zài shàng miàn 。
林轩双手连挥。几道法诀打在上面。
"Treasure of beast spirit?"
sī 。 yī shēng qīng xiǎng 。 nà yù dí guāng máng dà fàng 。 jìng rán huà wèi le yī tóu zhǎng shí yú zhàng 。 shuǐ tǒng cū xì de jù mǎng 。
嘶。一声轻响。那玉笛光芒大放。竟然化为了一头长十余丈。水桶粗细的巨蟒。
The illusory figure’s brow furrowed, showing some surprise. Lin Xuan wasn’t surprised that his treasure was recognized; this monster being an incarnation of the Ghost Emperor, it naturally couldn’t match the original in power but had no difference in experience.
“ shòu hún zhī bǎo ？”
“兽魂之宝？”
Recognizing it mattered little—could it block my attacks?
xū yǐng méi tóu yī tiāo 。 liǎn shàng lù chū le jǐ fēn dòng róng zhī sè 。 duì yú néng rèn chū zì jǐ de bǎo wù 。 lín xuān dào méi shén me hào qí guài de 。 cǐ guài wù jì rán shì guǐ dì de fēn shēn 。 yǔ běn tǐ xiāng bǐ 。 shí lì dāng rán bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。 dàn jiàn shí què bú huì yǒu sī háo de chā yì 。
虚影眉头一挑。脸上露出了几分动容之色。对于能认出自己的宝物。林轩倒没什么好奇怪的。此怪物既然是鬼帝的分身。与本体相比。实力当然不可同日而语。但见识却不会有丝毫的差异。
Lin Xuan smirked. He reached out and lightly tapped the giant snake, which immediately let out a roar and charged at the illusory figure.
rèn chū lái yòu rú hé 。 néng dǎng zhù zì jǐ de gōng jī me ？
认出来又如何。能挡住自己的攻击么？
On the other side, Moon also wore a serious expression as she rubbed her hands together, raising the Beast Spirit Banner above her head.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī fěng de xiào róng 。 shēn chū shǒu lái 。 qīng qīng yì diǎn 。 nà jù mǎng dùn shí chū yī shēng páo xiāo 。 xiàng zhe xū yǐng chōng guò qù le 。
林轩嘴角边露出一丝讥讽的笑容。伸出手来。轻轻一点。那巨蟒顿时出一声咆哮。向着虚影冲过去了。
With her jade fingers, she cast several spells into it, causing the banner to swell dramatically. Instantly, dark winds howled, with eerie screams and ghostly cries emanating from within.
ér lìng yī biān 。 yuè ér tóng yàng biǎo qíng yán sù 。 shuāng shǒu yī cuō 。 yǐ jiāng shòu hún fān jì le qǐ lái 。 piāo fú yú tóu dǐng zhī shàng 。
而另一边。月儿同样表情严肃。双手一搓。已将兽魂幡祭了起来。漂浮于头顶之上。
Heavy ghostly aura began to gather, and the sky seemed to darken.
yù zhǐ fēn dàn 。 jǐ dào fǎ jué zhù rù lǐ miàn 。 shòu hún fān hū lā yī shēng kuáng zhǎng qǐ lái 。 chà nà jiān 。 yīn fēng dà zuò 。 cóng lǐ miàn chuán lái qī lì de sī hǒu yǔ guǐ kū 。
玉指分弹。几道法诀注入里面。兽魂幡呼啦一声狂涨起来。刹那间。阴风大做。从里面传来凄厉的嘶吼与鬼哭。
"Hmph. Being a ghost king yet allied with a human—what an unscrupulous traitor," the illusory figure glanced at Moon, showing clear resentment.
nóng zhòng de yīn qì kāi shǐ jù jí 。 tiān sè sì hū yě suí zhī àn dàn le xià qù 。
浓重的阴气开始聚集。天色似乎也随之黯淡了下去。
"Talk nonsense." Moon wasn’t swayed by his provocations; without her master, she wouldn’t have walked the path of cultivation. In her heart, Lin Xuan was her most important family member.
“ hēng 。 shēn wèi guǐ wáng 。 què yǔ yí gè rén lèi wéi wǔ 。 wú chǐ de pàn tú 。” xū yǐng kàn le yuè ér yī yǎn 。 biǎo qíng pǒ yǔ jǐ fēn yuàn dú 。
“哼。身为鬼王。却与一个人类为伍。无耻的叛徒。”虚影看了月儿一眼。表情颇与几分怨毒。
She cast a spell, and several black rays shot out from the demon banner, converging into a giant scythe over a yard in diameter, slashing down at them.
“ hú shuō bā dào shén me 。” yuè ér zì rán bù shòu qí tiǎo bō 。 ruò méi yǒu shào yé 。 zì jǐ gēn běn zǒu bù shàng xiū xiān zhī lù 。 zài tā xīn zhōng 。 lín xuān jiù shì zì jǐ zuì zhòng yào de qīn rén le 。I
“胡说八道什么。”月儿自然不受其挑拨。若没有少爷。自己根本走不上修仙之路。在她心中。林轩就是自己最重要的亲人了。I
The illusory figure grunted, opening its mouth to spit out two skull heads as big as thumbs.
yī qiā jué 。 shù dào hēi máng cóng mó fān lǐ fēi shè chū lái 。 jiū jié zài yì qǐ 。 huà wèi yì zhí jìng zhàng xǔ de jù dà lián dāo 。 hěn hěn de xiàng zhe duì fāng zhǎn xià 。
一掐诀。数道黑芒从魔幡里飞射出来。纠结在一起。化为一直径丈许的巨大镰刀。狠狠的向着对方斩下。
They grew with the wind, expanding to several yards in size. Moreover, the entire skull was covered with sharp protrusions, viciously lunging towards Lin Xuan and Moon’s treasures.
nà xū yǐng hēng le yī shēng 。 zhāng kāi kǒu 。 liǎng gè mǔ zhǐ dà xiǎo de kū lóu tóu cóng zuǐ zhōng pēn tǔ ér chū 。
那虚影哼了一声。张开口。两个拇指大小的骷髅头从嘴中喷吐而出。
Light flashed, ghostly aura surged, and they were soon locked in a stalemate.
yíng fēng jiù zhǎng 。 shùn jiān biàn de shù zhàng zhī dà 。 ér qiě gèng jiā kǒng bù de shì 。 zhěng gè tóu gǔ shàng miàn 。 dōu bù mǎn le jiān ruì de tū cì 。 è hěn hěn de xiàng zhe lín xuān hé yuè ér jì chū de bǎo wù yíng qù 。
迎风就涨。瞬间变的数丈之大。而且更加恐怖的是。整个头骨上面。都布满了尖锐的突刺。恶狠狠的向着林轩和月儿祭出的宝物迎去。
Lin Xuan’s brows furrowed; he was genuinely surprised. Both he and Moon used top-grade treasure artifacts with special functions, yet the opponent easily deflected them. This fellow's abilities seemed to exceed his expectations!
guāng huá shǎn dòng 。 guǐ qì fān yǒng 。 yī shí zhī jiān 。 dào xiàn rù le xiāng chí 。
光华闪动。鬼气翻涌。一时之间。倒陷入了相持。
The illusory figure sneered as it spun around its body, emitting black-red light points from various parts.
lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo 。 xīn zhōng zhe shí yǒu xiē jīng yà 。 zì jǐ hé yuè ér shǐ yòng de 。 dōu shì jù yǒu tè shū gōng néng de dǐng jiē fǎ bǎo 。 duì fāng jū rán néng gòu zhè yàng qīng ér yì jǔ de jiē xià 。 kàn lái zhè jiā huo de shén tōng 。 hái zài zì jǐ yù liào zhī shàng a ！
林轩眉头一挑。心中着实有些惊讶。自己和月儿使用的。都是具有特殊功能的顶阶法宝。对方居然能够这样轻而易举的接下。看来这家伙的神通。还在自己预料之上啊！
Buzzing sounds filled the air as those strange light points distorted and transformed into tiny magical insects about an inch in size, rushing at them.
nà xū yǐng zé lù chū yī sī lěng xiào 。 shēn xíng yī zhuǎn 。 zài yuán dì kāi shǐ dī liū liū de xuán zhuǎn qǐ lái 。 ér cóng de shēn tǐ 。 tíng de jī shè chū yī xiē hēi hóng de guāng diǎn 。
那虚影则露出一丝冷笑。身形一转。在原地开始滴溜溜的旋转起来。而从的身体。停的激射出一些黑红的光点。
Lin Xuan’s expression darkened; he wouldn’t sit idly by. He took out a spirit ghost bag from his waist and threw it skyward. Black霞light revealed dozens of iron-armored corpses floating before him.
qǐng kè zhī jiān 。 wēng míng shēng dà qǐ 。 nà xiē guǐ yì guāng diǎn yī zhèn mó hú niǔ qū 。 jìng rán huà wèi le cùn xǔ dà xiǎo de gǔ guài mó chóng 。 xiàng zhe liǎng rén jī shè ér qù 。
顷刻之间。嗡鸣声大起。那些诡异光点一阵模糊扭曲。竟然化为了寸许大小的古怪魔虫。向着两人激射而去。
Though these zombies were only at the foundation establishment stage, they were fearless and lunged forward, spewing corpse gas.
lín xuān biǎo qíng yī chén 。 zì rán bú huì shù shǒu dài bì 。 zhāi xià yāo jiān de mǒu zhǐ líng guǐ dài 。 wàng tiān kōng zhōng pāo le qǐ lái 。 hēi sè de xiá guāng zhī zhōng 。 shù shí jù tiě jiǎ shī fú xiàn zài miàn qián 。
林轩表情一沉。自然不会束手待毙。摘下腰间的某只灵鬼袋。望天空中抛了起来。黑色的霞光之中。数十具铁甲尸浮现在面前。
Clang! Clang! Sounds echoed as the illusory figure paused. The greatest power of these ghostly insects was their corpse poison; low-ranking cultivators would die instantly, while condensation core experts had some immunity but suffered a significant drop in ability.
zhè xiē jiāng shī suī rán jǐn jǐn shì zhù jī qī de xiū wèi 。 què hàn bù wèi sǐ 。 yí gè gè kǒu tǔ shī qì de xiàng zhe duì fāng pū le guò qù 。
这些僵尸虽然仅仅是筑基期的修为。却悍不畏死。一个个口吐尸气的向着对方扑了过去。
However, zombies were dead things; corpse poison couldn’t affect them at all.
dùn shí 。 dīng dōng zhī shēng sì qǐ 。 ér xū yǐng zé biǎo qíng yī zhì 。 zhè zhǒng guǐ jiè dú chóng zuì dà de shén tōng jiù shì hán yǒu shī dú 。 dī jiē xiū shì zhōng lì bì 。 níng dān qī gāo shǒu suī rán yǒu yí dìng de miǎn yì lì 。 dàn yě huì shén tōng dà jiàng bù shǎo 。
顿时。叮咚之声四起。而虚影则表情一滞。这种鬼界毒虫最大的神通就是含有尸毒。低阶修士中立毙。凝丹期高手虽然有一定的免疫力。但也会神通大降不少。
On the other side, Moon also had her own method. With a wave of her jade hand, the Beast Spirit Banner flew before her, transforming into a black light screen. More strangely, the surface of this screen had countless holes from which eerie tentacles emerged, reaching out for the magical insects.
kě jiāng shī běn jiù shì sǐ wù 。 shī dú nǎ lǐ duì néng yǒu fēn háo de xiào guǒ 。
可僵尸本就是死物。尸毒哪里对能有分毫的效果。
Despite neutralizing their opponent’s moves, Lin Xuan’s expression showed no relief. The spiritual energy fluctuations from afar were erratic; he couldn’t tell how far the battle between the Ghost Emperor and Fairy Peacock had progressed?
ér lìng yī biān 。 yuè ér yě yǒu zì jǐ de shǒu duàn 。 yù shǒu yī zhāo 。 shòu hún fān yǐ fēi dào shēn qián 。 huà shēn wèi yī piàn hēi sè de guāng mù 。 gèng jiā guǐ yì de shì 。 zhè guāng mù de biǎo miàn 。 jū rán yǒu wú shù de kǒng dòng 。 cóng kǒng dòng zhī zhōng 。 zuān chū yī tiáo tiáo guǐ yì de chù shǒu 。 xiàng zhe mó chóng zhuā qù le 。
而另一边。月儿也有自己的手段。玉手一招。兽魂幡已飞到身前。化身为一片黑色的光幕。更加诡异的是。这光幕的表面。居然有无数的孔洞。从孔洞之中。钻出一条条诡异的触手。向着魔虫抓去了。
In any case, whoever won or lost was extremely disadvantageous to him.
huà jiě le duì fāng de zhāo shù 。 lín xuān de biǎo qíng què sī háo bú jiàn qīng sōng 。 yuǎn chù suǒ chuán lái de líng qì zhèn dàng 。 hū dà hū xiǎo 。 yě bù zhī dào guǐ dì yǔ kǒng què xiān zi 。 jué dòu jìn xíng dào le hé zhòng dì bù ？
化解了对方的招数。林轩的表情却丝毫不见轻松。远处所传来的灵气震荡。忽大忽小。也不知道鬼帝与孔雀仙子。决斗进行到了何种地步？
Lin Xuan’s desire to escape grew stronger.
zǒng zhī bù lùn shuí shèng shuí fù 。 duì yú zì jǐ lái shuō 。 dōu shì jí duān bù lì de 。
总之不论谁胜谁负。对于自己来说。都是极端不利的。
To achieve this, he first needed to eliminate this ghost king.
lín xuān xīn zhōng xiǎng yào dùn zǒu de yuàn wàng yuè lái yuè qiáng liè le 。
林轩心中想要遁走的愿望越来越强烈了。
With his left hand, Lin Xuan retrieved the silver-white Binding Soul Ball. His right hand again touched his storage bag; a flash of red light revealed a palm-sized gourd.
ér xiǎng yào zuò dào zhè yì diǎn 。 qián tí shì bì xū xiān jiāng zhè guǐ wáng miè le 。
而想要做到这一点。前提是必须先将这鬼王灭了。
This was also a top-grade ancient treasure obtained from a cultivator. Typically, such items required some refinement before use, but to Lin Xuan’s surprise, this artifact could be controlled with just his powerful spirit awareness.
lín xuān zuǒ shǒu yī fān 。 yǐ jiāng nà yín bái sè de fù xiān qiú qǔ le chū lái 。 ér yòu shǒu zé zài cì fǔ shàng chǔ wù dài 。 hóng guāng yī shǎn 。 nà bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de hú lú chū xiàn 。
林轩左手一翻。已将那银白色的缚仙球取了出来。而右手则再次抚上储物袋。红光一闪。那巴掌大小的葫芦出现。
Such a situation had never been seen in ancient texts, but it wasn’t strange; the vastness of cultivation was unfathomable, and what he knew was merely a drop in the ocean. Moreover, this discovery was beneficial without any drawbacks.
zhè yě shì yī jiàn dǐng jiān gǔ bǎo 。 lín xuān cóng pī xiū shì shǒu zhōng suǒ de 。 àn lǐ shuō 。 zhè yàng de dōng xī 。 xū yào liàn huà yī fān cái néng shǐ yòng 。 kě lín xuān què yì wài xiàn 。 cǐ wù hé pǔ tōng de gǔ bǎo lüè yǒu bù tóng 。 jìng rán jǐn píng qiáng dà de shén shí jiù kě yǐ qīng yì cāo kòng 。
这也是一件顶尖古宝。林轩从披修士手中所的。按理说。这样的东西。需要炼化一番才能使用。可林轩却意外现。此物和普通的古宝略有不同。竟然仅凭强大的神识就可以轻易操控。
Lin Xuan infused mana into the silver-white Binding Soul Ball, and countless silver threads emerged from within, seeming slow yet urgent as they wrapped around the illusory figure.
zhè zhǒng qíng xíng 。 zì jǐ biàn shì zài gǔ jí zhī zhōng 。 yě cóng lái méi yǒu jiàn dào 。 dàn bìng méi yǒu shén me hào qí guài de 。 xiū xiān yī dào 。 hào rú yān hǎi 。 zì jǐ suǒ jiē chù dào de 。 bù guò shì qí zhōng yī sù 。
这种情形。自己便是在古籍之中。也从来没有见到。但并没有什么好奇怪的。修仙一道。浩如烟海。自己所接触到的。不过是其中一粟。
Though he hadn’t used it much since obtaining it, this ancient treasure’s power was indeed formidable. While the claim of binding souls might be exaggerated, even a ghostly illusion without physical form would be locked down with no issue.
The boy wasn't idle either. The demon banner gently swayed, accompanied by a mist of ghostly aura. Hundreds of beasts emerged from within, each opening their mouths and spewing out colorful light beams.
Though these beast spirits weren’t of high rank, their sheer number made them quite formidable. With hundreds acting together, the threat was indeed considerable.
Lin Xuan had no time for mercy; he aimed to finish this quickly. Otherwise, if they got entangled, it could spell trouble.

The demon clouds churned violently, seemingly suffering significant shockwaves. The ghostly aura dispersed, and an illusory figure gradually became clearer.

Lin Xuan waved his hands, casting several spells on the flute.
Sssshh. A sharp sound echoed as the flute emitted dazzling light, transforming into a giant snake over ten feet long with a diameter of about a water bucket.
"Treasure of beast spirit?"
The illusory figure’s brow furrowed, showing some surprise. Lin Xuan wasn’t surprised that his treasure was recognized; this monster being an incarnation of the Ghost Emperor, it naturally couldn’t match the original in power but had no difference in experience.
Recognizing it mattered little—could it block my attacks?
