tū rán ， hú zhǎng lǎo de biǎo qíng bù yóu de yī jiāng ， suī rán tā yě kàn chū huǒ shuāng huán fēi tóng yī bān ， què wàn wàn bù céng xiǎng wēi lì huì rú cǐ biàn tài 。
突然，胡长老的表情不由得一僵，虽然他也看出火双环非同一般，却万万不曾想威力会如此变态。
Suddenly, Elder Hu's expression froze. Although he had realized that Fire Twin Rings were extraordinary, he never expected their power to be so extreme.
nà huáng pà mào bù jīng rén ， shí zé què shì yī jiàn dǐng jiān gǔ bǎo ， xī rì yǔ rén zhēng dòu ， cháng cháng lǚ jiàn qí gōng ， méi xiǎng dào jǐn jǐn shì yí gè zhào miàn ， jiù huǐ zài le duì fāng shǒu zhōng 。
那黄帕貌不惊人，实则却是一件顶尖古宝，昔日与人争斗，常常屡建奇功，没想到仅仅是一个照面，就毁在了对方手中。
The yellow cloth did not look impressive at first glance, but it was actually a top-grade ancient treasure. In the past, it often achieved remarkable feats in battles with others. Unexpectedly, it was destroyed by the opponent just after one exchange of blows.
mù guāng yǔ lín xuān xiāng chù ， hú zhǎng lǎo xīn zhōng yī hán ， shǒu yī yáng ， qī bā zhāng fú fēi shè ér chū ， tā zì jǐ zé shēn xíng yī zhuǎn ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， xiàng zhe yuǎn chù táo yì le 。
目光与林轩相触，胡长老心中一寒，手一扬，七八张符飞射而出，他自己则身形一转，化为一道惊虹，向着远处逃逸了。
His gaze met Lin Xuan's, and Elder Hu felt a chill run down his spine as he raised his hand, sending out several dozen talismans that transformed into various colored light orbs, rushing towards Lin Xuan.
nà xiē fú rán shāo yǐ hòu ， huà wèi xíng zhuàng bù yī de gè sè guāng tuán ， qì shì xiōng xiōng ， cháo zhe lín xuān fēi shè ér lái 。
那些符燃烧以后，化为形状不一的各色光团，气势汹汹，朝着林轩飞射而来。
Ordinary condensation core cultivators rarely carried talismans. However, this Elder Hu was cunning; while lower-grade spirit talismans might not match the power of a treasure artifact, they were extremely useful, especially for escape, where they could create unexpected advantages.
yì bān de níng dān qī gāo shǒu ， shēn shàng hěn shǎo dài yǒu fú ， zhè wèi hú zhǎng lǎo ， què shì yí gè xīn jī shēn chén de jiā huo ， dì jiē líng fú wēi lì suī rán bù jí fǎ bǎo ， dàn què shèng zài hǎo yòng ， tè bié shì táo mìng de shí hòu ， gèng néng jiàn lì yì xiǎng bù dào de qí gōng 。
一般的凝丹期高手，身上很少带有符，这位胡长老，却是一个心机深沉的家伙，地阶灵符威力虽然不及法宝，但却胜在好用，特别是逃命的时候，更能建立意想不到的奇功。
Though these talismans couldn't harm Lin Xuan, at least they would slightly impede him.
suī rán wú fǎ shāng dào duì fāng ， dàn zhì shǎo kě yǐ shāo wēi zǔ shàng yī zǔ 。
虽然无法伤到对方，但至少可以稍微阻上一阻。
The transformation of the forbidden grand array was complete. No matter how powerful this young master was, he could only watch helplessly as Spirit Medicine Mountain was destroyed.
ér nà jìn duàn dà zhèn de gǎi zào yě yǐ jīng wán bì le ， rèn zhè wèi shǎo mén zhǔ shǒu duàn tōng tiān ， yě zhǐ néng yǎn zhēng zhēng de kàn zhe líng yào shān huǐ yú yí dàn 。
而那禁断大阵的改造也已经完毕了，任这位少门主手段通天，也只能眼睁睁的看着灵药山毁于一旦。
Elder Hu's eyes gleamed with a cruel satisfaction as he heard the explosive sounds behind him. Despite his urgency to escape, he couldn't resist turning around for a glance. This look changed his expression dramatically.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， hú zhǎng lǎo de yǎn zhōng liú lù chū yī sī cán rěn de kuài yì ， ér jiù zài zhè shí ， shēn hòu hōng lōng lóng de bào liè shēng yě chuán rù le ěr lǐ ， suī rán jí zhe táo chū shēng tiān ， dàn tā yě rěn bú zhù huí tóu piē le yī yǎn ， zhè yī kàn ， jiù ràng tā liǎn sè dà biàn 。
想到这里，胡长老的眼中流露出一丝残忍的快意，而就在这时，身后轰隆隆的爆裂声也传入了耳里，虽然急着逃出生天，但他也忍不住回头瞥了一眼，这一看，就让他脸色大变。
Behind him, light flashed wildly and an overwhelming wave of energy erupted. Lin Xuan didn’t deploy any defensive measures but pursued him boldly.
zhǐ jiàn shēn hòu líng guāng kuáng shǎn ， qì làng tāo tiān ， lín xuān jū rán méi yǒu jì chū rèn hé fáng yù de shǒu duàn ， jiù zhè yàng dà liē liē de zhuī le shàng lái 。
只见身后灵光狂闪，气浪滔天，林轩居然没有祭出任何防御的手段，就这样大咧咧的追了上来。
It was because both the ancient shield and the protective barrier would slow down his flight. Lin Xuan wanted to kill this enemy without using such means.
wú tā ， bù lùn shì fú wén gǔ dùn ， hái shì fáng yù zhào ， dū huì ràng dùn guāng de sù dù dà jiǎn ， lín xuān xiǎng yào miè shā cǐ zéi ， zì rán bù biàn shǐ yòng zhè xiē shǒu duàn 。
无他，不论是符文古盾，还是防御罩，都会让遁光的速度大减，林轩想要灭杀此贼，自然不便使用这些手段。
The eight talismans he had released were all fire and lightning attributes, with four transforming into over a hundred fist-sized red fire ants, while the rest turned into golden lightning bolts, viciously rushing towards him. Their combined power was comparable to a condensation core cultivator at the peak of their cultivation using a refined treasure artifact for a full attack.
zì jǐ jì chū dì nà bā zhāng fú 。 kě quán dōu shì jīn huǒ liǎng zhǒng shǔ xìng dì gōng jī líng fú 。 qí zhōng sì zhāng 。 huà wèi le bǎi yú zhǐ quán tou dà xiǎo dì hóng sè huǒ yǐ 。 shèng xià dì 。 zé biàn wèi jīn sè dì shǎn diàn pī lì 。 è hěn hěn dì xiàng zhe lín xuān pū qù 。 qí dié jiā dì wēi lì 。 bù xià yú níng dān qī dǐng fēng dì xiū shì yòng péi liàn shù bǎi nián dì fǎ bǎo quán lì yī jī 。
自己祭出地那八张符。可全都是金火两种属性地攻击灵符。其中四张。化为了百余只拳头大小地红色火蚁。剩下地。则变为金色地闪电霹雳。恶狠狠地向着林轩扑去。其叠加地威力。不下于凝丹期顶峰地修士用培炼数百年地法宝全力一击。
However, Lin Xuan paid no heed. The Ice Fire Twin Rings whirled around him ceaselessly, and he flicked two hand seals. With a sharp command: "Quickly!"
rán ér lín xuān jū rán háo bù zài yì 。 nà bīng huǒ shuāng huán zài tā shēn zhōu pán xuán fēi wǔ bù zhǐ 。 ér tā dì zuǒ yòu shǒu 。 zé gè qiā le yī dào jué 。 miàn duì zhè yàng kě pà dì gōng jī 。 jǐn jǐn shì qīng chì le yī shēng ：“ jí ！”
然而林轩居然毫不在意。那冰火双环在他身周盘旋飞舞不止。而他地左右手。则各掐了一道诀。面对这样可怕地攻击。仅仅是轻叱了一声：“疾！”
Silver light flashed, one of the rings abruptly stopped. Spirit energy flowed, instantly turning it a vivid red.
yín guāng yī shǎn 。 qí zhōng yī zhī bǎo huán sà rán tíng le xià lái 。 líng guāng liú zhuǎn 。 qǐng kè jiān biàn chéng le xiān hóng dì yán sè 。
银光一闪。其中一只宝环飒然停了下来。灵光流转。顷刻间变成了鲜红地颜色。
Spinning rapidly, this ring grew several times larger, spewing out fiery flames that met the aggressive fire ants. The ants quickly showed signs of fear and were soon assimilated by the true fire from the ring.
dī liū liū yī zhuǎn 。 cǐ huán biàn dà le shù bèi 。 hóng sè dì huǒ yàn cóng huán nèi pēn tǔ chū lái 。 nà xiē huǒ yǐ qì shì xiōng xiōng dì pū shàng 。 cǐ shí yù shàng bǎo huán dì zhēn huǒ 。 què lì kè lù chū wèi jù zhī sè 。 hěn kuài jiù bèi tóng huà le 。
滴溜溜一转。此环变大了数倍。红色地火焰从环内喷吐出来。那些火蚁气势汹汹地扑上。此时遇上宝环地真火。却立刻露出畏惧之色。很快就被同化了。
Five elements magic; if the attributes matched, the stronger one would prevail. Lin Xuan had crafted this treasure using Southward Bright Departure Fire, a miraculous substance.
wǔ xíng fǎ shù 。 ruò shì shǔ xìng xiāng tóng 。 zì rán shì lì qiáng shèng zhī 。 lín xuān dǎ zào cǐ bǎo 。 nǎi shì yòng le nán míng lí huǒ zhè zhǒng nì tiān zhī wù 。
五行法术。若是属性相同。自然是力强胜之。林轩打造此宝。乃是用了南明离火这种逆天之物。
Though his spirit energy was insufficient, in terms of quality, this fire did not fall short of the old monsters' infant fires. Tiny fire ant talismans were no match for it.
suī rán lín xuān fǎ lì bù zú 。 dàn ruò guāng cóng pǐn zhì shàng shuō 。 cǐ huǒ bìng bù bǐ lǎo guài wù men dì yīng huǒ xùn sè 。 qǐ shì xiǎo xiǎo dì huǒ yǐ fú kě yǐ dǐ dǎng dì 。
虽然林轩法力不足。但若光从品质上说。此火并不比老怪物们地婴火逊色。岂是小小地火蚁符可以抵挡地。
On the other side, golden lightning also appeared.
ér lìng yī cè ， nà xiē jīn sè dì shǎn diàn yě chū xiàn le 。
而另一侧，那些金色地闪电也出现了。
Lin Xuan ignored them, but in front of him, a fiery sea suddenly transformed into several grotesque creatures resembling giant toads from the mortal world. Opening their mouths, they spat out thick flames as wide as an arm. Lightning and fire clashed briefly; the red quickly gained the upper hand.
lín xuān shì ruò wú dǔ ， ér tā shēn qián de huǒ hǎi zhī zhōng ， què tū rán huàn huà chū le jǐ zhī xíng mào chǒu lòu de guài wù ， chū yī kàn ， yǒu diǎn xiàng shì sú jiè de chán chú ， rán ér tǐ jī yào dà dé duō 。
林轩视若无睹，而他身前的火海之中，却突然幻化出了几只形貌丑陋的怪物，初一看，有点像世俗界的蟾蜍，然而体积要大得多。
The entire process was lightning-fast, yet Lin Xuan's flight did not pause. Silver light flashed before Elder Hu’s eyes, and Lin Xuan appeared right in front of him.
zhāng kāi zuǐ ， cóng kǒu zhōng pēn chū ér bì cū de huǒ zhù ， pū pū ， shǎn diàn liè huǒ yī zhèn jiāo fēng ， lüè yī xiāng chí ， nà hóng sè hěn kuài jiù zhàn dào le shàng fēng 。
张开嘴，从口中喷出儿臂粗的火柱，噗噗，闪电烈火一阵交锋，略一相持，那红色很快就占到了上风。
This time, even with his vast cunning, he felt panic rising within him.
zhěng gè guò chéng diàn guāng huǒ shí ， ér lín xuān de dùn guāng sī háo méi yǒu tíng zhì ， hòu xiān zhì ， hú zhǎng lǎo zhǐ jué yǎn qián yín máng yī shǎn ， lín xuān jiù yǐ chū xiàn zài le miàn qián 。
整个过程电光火石，而林轩的遁光丝毫没有停滞，后先至，胡长老只觉眼前银芒一闪，林轩就已出现在了面前。
His various techniques were clearly no match for Lin Xuan. He hadn’t expected this young man to be so formidable.
zhè yī huí ， jí biàn shì xīn jī rú hǎi dì tā yě bù yóu de huāng luàn le qǐ lái 。
这一回，即便是心机如海地他也不由得慌乱了起来。
Fight? Not a match.
Run? It seemed there was no way out.
lín xuān de zhū bān shǒu duàn ， zì jǐ xiǎn rán bù dí ， méi xiǎng dào zhè xìng lín dì xiǎo zi ， shí lì jū rán kě pà dào rú cǐ chéng dù 。
林轩的诸般手段，自己显然不敌，没想到这姓林地小子，实力居然可怕到如此程度。
Elder Hu opened his mouth, trying to use smooth talk, but his only hope now lay in his eloquent tongue. Unfortunately, Lin Xuan wasn't easily fooled.
dǎ ？ bú shì duì shǒu 。
打？不是对手。
He had already seen through Elder Hu’s true nature and had no patience for his words.
táo ？ sì hū yě méi yǒu le lù 。
逃？似乎也没有了路。
Clenching his fist, he channeled all his spirit energy into the dancing treasure rings, which began to emit a silver glow. However, this was followed by an avalanche of ice and snow.
hú zhǎng lǎo zhāng le zhāng kǒu ， xiǎng yào qiǎo yán lìng sè ， xiàn zài zì jǐ wéi yī de shēng jī ， jiù shì zhè zhāng sān cùn bù làn zhī shé ， kě xī lín xuān nǎ yǒu nà me hǎo hù nòng 。
胡长老张了张口，想要巧言令色，现在自己唯一的生机，就是这张三寸不烂之舌，可惜林轩哪有那么好糊弄。
"No… impossible, a bi-elemental treasure artifact, how can you have…"
zǎo yǐ kàn qīng chǔ le tā dì zhēn miàn mù ， nǎ lǐ hái yǒu xīn qíng tīng zhè jiā huo suo 。
早已看清楚了他地真面目，哪里还有心情听这家伙嗦。
If it had been panic before, now Elder Hu’s eyes revealed a madness as he approached collapse. He was not only highly skilled but also well-traveled.
niē le niē quán ， hún shēn de líng lì chōng tiān ér qǐ ， mò rù le pán xuán fēi wǔ dì bǎo huán lǐ ， wū ， zhè yī huí ， yín huán yǐ jīng shì líng guāng liú yè ， zhǐ bù guò suí zhī ér lái de shì màn tiān de bīng xuě 。
捏了捏拳，浑身的灵力冲天而起，没入了盘旋飞舞地宝环里，呜，这一回，银环已经是灵光流曳，只不过随之而来的是漫天的冰雪。
Bi-elemental treasure artifacts?
“ bù …… bù kě néng ， bīng huǒ shuāng shǔ xìng fǎ bǎo ， nǐ zěn me huì ……”
“不……不可能，冰火双属性法宝，你怎么会……”
These were not the domain of ordinary cultivators; could this young master be…
rú guǒ shuō gāng cái shì jīng huāng ， nà me cǐ kè ， hú zhǎng lǎo de yǎn zhōng jiù tòu chū le yī gǔ jí jiāng bēng kuì shí de fēng kuáng ， tā bù jǐn xiū wèi hěn gāo ， tóng yàng jiàn duō shí guǎng 。
如果说刚才是惊慌，那么此刻，胡长老的眼中就透出了一股即将崩溃时的疯狂，他不仅修为很高，同样见多识广。
As the saying goes, fear can drive one to self-deception. If it had been an ignorant brute, despite his fear, he might have mustered enough courage to fight back. However, Elder Hu's downfall lay in his extensive knowledge.
shuāng shǔ xìng fǎ bǎo ？
双属性法宝？
Could the Ice Fire Twin Rings belong to a senior at the separation stage who was playing the role of a simpleton?
nà bú shì líng jiè xiū shì cái yōng yǒu de dà shén tōng zhī wù ， nán dào zhè wèi shǎo mén zhǔ ……
那不是灵界修士才拥有的大神通之物，难道这位少门主……
According to common sense, late-stage infant immortals should be the pinnacle of this world. But it was said that reaching the separation stage required enduring three minor heavenly tribulations.
sú huà shuō zì jǐ xià zì jǐ ， rú guǒ shì yī shén me dōu bù dǒng de cū bǐ xiū shì ， suī rán xīn zhōng jīng pà ， dàn bèi bī dào le xuán yá biān shàng ， shuō bù dìng hái huì gǔ zú yú yǒng ， fèn lì yī bó ， ér hú zhǎng lǎo tā huài jiù huài zài “ bó xué ” shàng le 。
俗话说自己吓自己，如果是一什么都不懂的粗鄙修士，虽然心中惊怕，但被逼到了悬崖边上，说不定还会鼓足余勇，奋力一搏，而胡长老他坏就坏在“博学”上了。
If these seniors couldn't make it, they would choose to remain in this world, often keeping a low profile and going unnoticed.
bīng huǒ shuāng huán jì shì líng jiè zhī bǎo ， nà me chí yǒu de rén huì bú huì yě shì bàn zhū chī hǔ de lí hé qī qián bèi ne ？
冰火双环既是灵界之宝，那么持有的人会不会也是扮猪吃虎的离合期前辈呢？
Thinking about how Lin Xuan had only been at the foundation establishment stage for such a short time, yet he had condensed his golden core and possessed unparalleled techniques. With mid-stage cultivation, he easily outmatched Elder Hu, who was at the peak of his abilities.
àn zhào cháng lǐ ， yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū shì běn gāi shì zhè yī jiè zuì dǐng jiān de cún zài ， rán ér tīng shuō dào dá lí hé qī ， xiǎng yào fēi shēng líng jiè ， xū yào jīng lì sān jiǔ xiǎo tiān jié 。
按照常理，元婴后期的大修士本该是这一界最顶尖的存在，然而听说到达离合期，想要飞升灵界，需要经历三九小天劫。
This defied common sense.
ér nà xiē qián bèi méi yǒu bǎ wò ， zé huì xuǎn zé zhì liú zài zhè yī jiè 。
而那些前辈没有把握，则会选择滞留在这一界。
But if he were indeed a senior at the separation stage, all this would make perfect sense…
zhǐ bù guò píng shí dī diào xíng shì ， gù ér bù wéi rén suǒ zhī 。
只不过平时低调行事，故而不为人所知。
With this thought, Elder Hu's heart turned cold, losing any will to fight. Kneeling down, he began to bang his head on the ground: "Senior, spare my life! Senior, spare my life! This is all a misunderstanding; I dare not offend your majesty…"
xiǎng xiǎng lín xuān rù mén ， bù guò qū qū yī zhù jī qī de xiū shì ér yǐ ， zhè cái duō jiǔ de shí jiān ， jiù níng chéng le jīn dān ， ér qiě yī shēn shǒu duàn tōng tiān chè dì ， yǐ zhōng qī de xiū wèi ， jiù jiāng zì jǐ zhè dà yuán mǎn de xiū shì dǎ dé háo wú huán shǒu zhī lì 。
想想林轩入门，不过区区一筑基期的修士而已，这才多久的时间，就凝成了金丹，而且一身手段通天彻地，以中期的修为，就将自己这大圆满的修士打得毫无还手之力。
Lin Xuan was stunned. Though shrewd, he couldn’t immediately understand what Elder Hu was up to. If this performance was meant to make him underestimate his opponent, it seemed excessive. Moreover, Lin Xuan noticed fear in his eyes.
zhè zhe shí bù fú hé cháng lǐ 。
这着实不符合常理。
This man had been biding his time and潜伏在灵药山数百年，还混到了执法长老这样的高位。说他是枭雄也不为过，难道他这么胆小？
dàn jiǎ ruò tā běn shì lí hé qī qián bèi ， gāng gāng yì zhí shuǎ nòng zì jǐ jiù yǒu le hé lǐ jiě shì ……
但假若他本是离合期前辈，刚刚一直耍弄自己就有了合理解释……
看着他的表情，除了恐惧，还有讨好的意味，让林轩更加摸不着头脑了。不过他也无心深究，当作这家伙神经失常好了。
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， hú zhǎng lǎo de xīn wǎ liáng wǎ liáng de ， zài yě méi yǒu le bàn fēn dòu zhì ， shuāng xī yī ruǎn ， jū rán pū tōng yī shēng guì le xià lái ， kē tóu rú dǎo suàn ：“ qián bèi ráo mìng ， qián bèi ráo mìng ， zhè quán shì wù huì ， wǎn bèi nǎ lǐ gǎn mào fàn hǔ wēi ……”
念及至此，胡长老的心瓦凉瓦凉的，再也没有了半分斗志，双膝一软，居然扑通一声跪了下来，磕头如捣蒜：“前辈饶命，前辈饶命，这全是误会，晚辈哪里敢冒犯虎威……”
右手一掐，指尖飞出一片光霞，没入身前的银环后，附近的雪花变得越来越密集。
lín xuān yī dāi ， tā suī rán xīn sī líng lóng ， kě yī shí zhī jiān ， yě cāi bù tòu duì fāng zài wán shén me bǎ xì ， ruò shuō duì fāng shì xiǎng yào shì zhī yǐ ruò ， ràng zì jǐ qīng dí ， zhè fān biǎo yǎn wèi miǎn tài guò le xiē ， ér qiě lín xuān guān chá le tā de yǎn shén ， lǐ miàn què shí chōng mǎn le kǒng jù 。
林轩一呆，他虽然心思玲珑，可一时之间，也猜不透对方在玩什么把戏，若说对方是想要视之以弱，让自己轻敌，这番表演未免太过了些，而且林轩观察了他的眼神，里面确实充满了恐惧。
“去！”
zhè jiā huo wò xīn cháng dǎn ， zài líng yào shān yī qián fú jiù shì shù bǎi nián ， hái hùn shàng le zhí fǎ zhǎng lǎo zhè yàng de gāo wèi ， shuō shì yí dài xiāo xióng ， yě méi yǒu shén me guò fèn zhī chù ， zhì yú zhè me dǎn xiǎo me ？
这家伙卧薪尝胆，在灵药山一潜伏就是数百年，还混上了执法长老这样的高位，说是一代枭雄，也没有什么过份之处，至于这么胆小么？
林 Xuan 一点指，这些雪花旋转聚在一起，一头威武的冰雪恶蛟出现了，张开大口狠狠地咬向对方。
Suddenly, Elder Hu's expression froze. Although he had realized that Fire Twin Rings were extraordinary, he never expected their power to be so extreme.
The yellow cloth did not look impressive at first glance, but it was actually a top-grade ancient treasure. In the past, it often achieved remarkable feats in battles with others. Unexpectedly, it was destroyed by the opponent just after one exchange of blows.
