出来吧,道友藏头露尾,隐于一旁,难道是想要做那吗?”林轩一边说,一边缓缓的转过身体,盯像左侧某空无一人的地方,目光之中,充满了寒意。$-$
"Come out, friend. You've been hiding and peeking from the side. Are you planning to do something?" Lin Xuan said as he slowly turned his body, staring at a spot on the left that was empty. His gaze was filled with coldness.
“ hēng , gé xià nián jì qīng qīng , shén shí dào yě bù ruò , jū rán néng gòu xiàn běn xiān zi de xíng zōng , kàn lái wǒ hái shì xiǎo qiáo nǐ le 。” yī jiāo róu yuè ěr de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , míng míng shí fēn dòng tīng , kě bù zhī wèi hé , lín xuān què gǎn jué fēi cháng de bù shū fú 。
“哼,阁下年纪轻轻,神识倒也不弱,居然能够现本仙子的行踪,看来我还是小瞧你了。”一娇柔悦耳的声音传入耳朵,明明十分动听,可不知为何,林轩却感觉非常的不舒服。
"Ahh, your cultivation is young but your divine sense isn't weak either; you actually managed to detect my whereabouts. I must admit, I underestimated you," a soft and pleasant voice entered his ears. Although it was very pleasing to hear, Lin Xuan felt extremely uncomfortable for some reason.
suí jí nà ge dì fāng de kōng qì rú tóng shuǐ bō bān huàng dòng qǐ lái , yī měi mào rú huā de shào nǚ yìng rù le yǎn lián 。
随即那个地方的空气如同水波般晃动起来,一美貌如花的少女映入了眼帘。
The air around the place began to ripple like water waves as a beautiful maiden appeared in front of him.
cǐ nǚ bù guò shuāng shí nián jì , shēn chuān hóng yī , fū bái rú yù , hún shēn shàng xià , tòu zhe yī gǔ zhōng líng zhī qì , yóu qí shì nà shuāng yǎn jīng , gèng shì líng dòng yǒu shén , hǎo yī wèi qì zhì yǔ měi mào bìng cún de nǚ zǐ 。
此女不过双十年纪,身穿红衣,肤白如玉,浑身上下,透着一股钟灵之气,尤其是那双眼睛,更是灵动有神,好一位气质与美貌并存的女子。
This woman was no more than twenty years old, dressed in red, with skin as white as jade. She exuded an aura of refined spirit, especially her eyes which were lively and full of vitality. She was indeed a woman who possessed both beauty and grace.
xiù sè kě cān , rán ér lín xuān de biǎo qíng què yī xià zi níng zhòng le qǐ lái , liǎn sè shèn zhì yǒu xiē bái 。
秀色可餐,然而林轩的表情却一下子凝重了起来,脸色甚至有些白。
Her appearance was tempting to behold, but Lin Xuan's expression suddenly became grave, his face even turning pale.
yuán yīng qī lǎo guài !
元婴期老怪!
An old monster at the元婴期!
ér qiě hái shì zhōng qī fēng de xiū wèi 。
而且还是中期峰的修为。
And it was in its middle peak stage.
cǐ nǚ jiù zhè me tíng tíng yù lì de zài miàn qián , lián yī gēn zhǐ tou dōu bù céng dòng tán , kě nà líng yā , què yǐ pū miàn ér lái 。
此女就这么亭亭玉立的在面前,连一根指头都不曾动弹,可那灵压,却已扑面而来。
This woman stood gracefully before him without moving an inch, yet her spiritual pressure already hit him like a wave.
lín xuān zhǐ jué nǎo “ wēng ” de yī xià , jiù xiàng zài shén shí lǐ bèi rén hěn hěn dǎ le yī quán , tóu tòng yù liè , tā xīn zhōng dà lǐn , máng shēn shēn de xī le kǒu qì , fǎ lì yùn zhuàn , bào yuán shǒu yī , bù shì de gǎn jué cái jiàn jiàn tuì qù 。
林轩只觉脑“嗡”的一下,就像在神识里被人狠狠打了一拳,头痛欲裂,他心中大凛,忙深深的吸了口气,法力运转,抱元守一,不适的感觉才渐渐退去。
Lin Xuan felt as if someone had punched him hard in his divine sense, causing his head to ache terribly. He was greatly alarmed and quickly took a deep breath, circulating his qi, focusing on the essence of his dantian, and gradually the discomfort subsided.
dà dí !
大敌!
A formidable opponent!
lín xuān shùn jiān jiù zuò chū le pàn 。
林轩瞬间就做出了判。
Lin Xuan immediately made this judgment. Although he was only at the 凝丹期 stage of cultivation, he had encountered old monsters in the middle peak stage many times due to his unusual circumstances.
tā rán jǐn jǐn shì níng dān qī dì xiū wèi 。 dàn jì yù qí tè 。 yǔ yuán yīng qī lǎo guài xiá lù xiāng féng zǎo yǐ bú shì dì yī cì le 。
他然仅仅是凝丹期地修为。但际遇奇特。与元婴期老怪狭路相逢早已不是第一次了。
Just now, he had even fought against a human cultivator and a beast spirit. The beast spirit was indeed an actual中期化形 stage powerhouse. This woman should be on par with it, but the pressure from her was incomparable.
jiù shuō gāng gāng 。 hái yǔ yī rén yī yāo jiāo guò shǒu 。
就说刚刚。还与一人一妖交过手。
What was more strange was that Lin Xuan had never seen this woman before, yet for some reason, he felt strangely familiar with her.
nà rén lèi xiū shì zàn qiě bù shuō yāo kě shì huò zhēn jià shí dì huà xíng zhōng qī shén tōng 。 yǔ cǐ nǚ yīng gāi shì xiāng chà fǎng fú 。 rán ér yā lì què gēn běn jiù bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。
那人类修士暂且不说妖可是货真价实地化形中期神通。与此女应该是相差仿佛。然而压力却根本就不可同日而语。
Lin Xuan couldn't help raising his eyebrows and pondering deeply.
gèng jiā gǔ guài dì shì 。 cǐ nǚ lín xuān míng méi yǒu jiàn guò 。 dàn bù zhī wèi hé 。 què mò míng qí miào dì yǒu diǎn yǎn shú 。
更加古怪地是。此女林轩明没有见过。但不知为何。却莫名其妙地有点眼熟。
Suddenly, a flash of spiritual light appeared in his mind. He remembered it.
lín xuān bù yóu de méi tóu yī tiāo 。 kǔ kǔ sī suǒ 。
林轩不由得眉头一挑。苦苦思索。
Red Silk Fairy!
tū rán , yī dào líng guāng zài nǎo hǎi lǐ shǎn xiàn 。
突然,一道灵光在脑海里闪现。
Earlier, to find a way out from here, he had used secret techniques to forcibly search through the memories of the Corpse婴's consciousness. There seemed to be some information about this woman.
lín xuān xiǎng le qǐ lái 。
林轩想了起来。
Although not intentionally seeking her, he managed to piece together some fragments and his face turned even paler.
hóng líng xiān zi !
红绫仙子!
She was also an ancient cultivator of Jade Profound Sect, one of its core figures. Although she wasn't a late-stage powerhouse, she was still an important elder.
gāng cái tā wèi le xún zhǎo cóng zhè lǐ chū qù de zhǔ yì , céng jīng shī zhǎn mì shù , qiáng xíng duì shī yīng de jì yì jìn xíng sōu suǒ 。
刚才他为了寻找从这里出去的主意,曾经施展秘术,强行对尸婴的记忆进行搜索。
What shocked Lin Xuan the most, however, wasn't this. It was that during the internal turmoil at Jade Profound Sect, she had brazenly attacked the sect's patriarch... a cultivator at the 离合期 stage.
lǐ miàn sì hū yǒu cǐ nǚ de yì diǎn xìn xī 。
里面似乎有此女的一点信息。
Although her physical body was destroyed and her spirit infant sealed in ice, her survival indicated how powerful her abilities were.
suī rán bú shì kè yì zhǎo xún yǐ jǐn jǐn shǎn xiàn le yī xiē suì piàn lín xuān jiāng qí chuàn lián qǐ lái , liǎn sè yě kāi shǐ bái 。
虽然不是刻意找寻以仅仅闪现了一些碎片林轩将其串联起来,脸色也开始白。
Since she was an elder of Jade Profound Sect, it wasn't surprising that she knew this place and arrived here first to hide.
cǐ nǚ yě shì yù xuán zōng de gǔ xiū , ér qiě shì zuì wèi hé xīn de rén wù , suī rán bú shì hòu qī de dà xiū shì , dàn yě shì fēi cháng zhòng yào de zhǎng lǎo zhī yī 。
此女也是玉玄宗的古修,而且是最为核心的人物,虽然不是后期的大修士,但也是非常重要的长老之一。
Lin Xuan understood the cause and effect. Although he felt some fear and trepidation, his demeanor remained calm on the surface. In such a dire situation, one must not panic; after all, he had faced many dangers before and couldn't afford to perish in this place.
bù guò ràng lín xuān shū rán xīn jīng de hái bú shì zhè xiē 。
不过让林轩倏然心惊的还不是这些。
Of course, pretending to be scared was a last resort. He decided to first gauge her intentions.
ér shì cǐ nǚ zài yù xuán zōng de nà chǎng nèi luàn zhī shí céng jīng dǎn dà bāo tiān , chū shǒu tōu xí yù xuán zōng zhǎng mén …… nà kě shì lí hé qī de xiū shì 。
而是此女在玉玄宗的那场内乱之时曾经胆大包天,出手偷袭玉玄宗掌门……那可是离合期的修士。
With that thought, Lin Xuan's internal法宝 trembled uncontrollably as he prepared for battle, but his face forced a smile: "Junior meets the Fairy."
suī rán ròu shēn bèi huǐ yīng yě bèi bīng fēng le qǐ lái , dàn qí néng gòu jiǎo xìng bù sǐ , jiù kě yǐ kàn qù tā de shén tōng shì duō me de lì hài 。
虽然肉身被毁婴也被冰封了起来,但其能够侥幸不死,就可以看去她的神通是多么的厉害。
Red Silk's lips curled slightly, and she revealed a playful expression. She truly admired this young man's intelligence.
duì fāng jì shì yù xuán zōng zhǎng lǎo , guài bù dé néng gòu zhī dào zhè ge dì fāng , néng gòu xiān yī bù dào cǐ yǐn cáng 。
对方既是玉玄宗长老,怪不得能够知道这个地方,能够先一步到此隐藏。
If it were any other condensation period cultivator, they would either tremble with fear, kneel to beg for mercy, or grit their teeth in a desperate attempt to flee.
lín xuān xiǎng tōng le qián yīn hòu guǒ , xīn zhōng gù rán shì yǒu yī xiē wèi jù huáng kǒng biǎo miàn shàng , yī jiù jié lì bǎo chí zhe zhèn dìng 。
林轩想通了前因后果,心中固然是有一些畏惧惶恐表面上,依旧竭力保持着镇定。
These were the most normal reactions but extremely foolish.
zhè zhǒng shì qíng shì xíng shì xiǎn è , yuè bù néng huāng me duō dà fēng dà làng zì jǐ dōu chuǎng guò lái le , jué bù néng yǔn luò yú zhè ge dì fāng 。
这种事情是形势险恶,越不能慌么多大风大浪自己都闯过来了,绝不能陨落于这个地方。
This young man, however, remained calm under her pressure. He was indeed a promising talent!
dāng rán liǎn nǎi shì xià cè , xiān tàn yī tàn duì fāng de kǒu fēng zài shuō 。
当然脸乃是下策,先探一探对方的口风再说。
With time, he would surely achieve great accomplishments.
niàn jí zhì cǐ , lín xuān tǐ nèi de fǎ bǎo chàn dòng bù zhǐ , yǐ rán xù shì , dàn liǎn shàng , què jǐ chū le yì diǎn xiào róng :“ wǎn bèi jiàn guò xiān zi 。”
念及至此,林轩体内的法宝颤动不止,已然蓄势,但脸上,却挤出了一点笑容:“晚辈见过仙子。”
Unfortunately, his fate was not good.
hóng líng zuǐ jiǎo wēi wēi shàng qiào , liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī wán wèi zhī sè , yǒu yì si , tā dǎo shì zhēn de yǒu diǎn pèi fú zhè ge shào nián de xīn zhì 。
红绫嘴角微微上翘,脸上露出一丝玩味之色,有意思,她倒是真的有点佩服这个少年的心智。
Red Silk didn't say much more. Since she had taken something from Jade Profound Sect's treasures, it meant that she was destined to die.
ruò shì huàn yī wèi níng dān qī xiū shì , huò hún shēn chàn dǒu , xià guì qiú ráo , huò yǎo yá pīn mìng , què sì jī xiǎng yào táo pǎo 。
若是换一位凝丹期修士,或浑身颤抖,下跪求饶,或咬牙拼命,却伺机想要逃跑。
A fierce look flashed in the female cultivator’s eyes as she sighed lightly and waved her hand.
zhè shì liǎng zhǒng zuì wèi zhèng cháng de fǎn yìng , què dōu shí fēn yú chǔn 。
这是两种最为正常的反应,却都十分愚蠢。
Her movements were so graceful they seemed like a dance. However, when her sleeves moved, a pure spiritual force was released, forming a pinkish-red mist.
ér zhè ge shào nián méi yǒu , zài zì jǐ de líng yā xià , yī jiù bǎo chí zhe lěng jìng 。
而这个少年没有,在自己的灵压下,依旧保持着冷静。
The mist wasn't much, but it seemed alive, wriggling as if it had life. Then, a one-foot-long spirit bird leaped out of the mist, let out a cry, and its eyes flashed red before diving towards Lin Xuan.
shì kě zào zhī cái a !
是可造之材啊!
At first glance, this attack didn’t seem impressive.
jiǎ yǐ shí rì , chéng jiù bì dìng fēi cháng 。
假以时日,成就必定非常。
However, Lin Xuan's expression became extremely serious.
kě xī mìng bù hǎo 。
可惜命不好。
He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers on his storage bag. The Snowy Cloud Falling Sword flew up, transforming into an ice dragon about seven to eight zhang long, colliding with the spirit bird.
hóng líng bìng méi yǒu yǔ tā duō shuō shén me , jì rán ná le wǒ yù xuán zōng de bǎo wù , nà jiù zhù dìng yào sǐ le 。
红绫并没有与他多说什么,既然拿了我玉玄宗的宝物,那就注定要死了。
The size of both was disproportionate; from a visual perspective, the spirit bird should have been devoured by the dragon in one hit.
nǚ xiū de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ lì sè , qīng qīng tàn le kǒu qì , yù shǒu yī fú 。
女修的眼中闪过一缕厉色,轻轻叹了口气,玉手一拂。
However, the result was entirely different.
tā de dòng zuò róu mèi dào le jí chù , jiù fǎng fú shì tiào wǔ , rán ér yī xiù huī dòng jiān , què yǒu yī dào jīng chún de líng lì bèi shì fàng chū lái 。
她的动作柔媚到了极处,就仿佛是跳舞,然而衣袖挥动间,却有一道精纯的灵力被释放出来。
Indeed, the ice dragon opened its mouth wide, but the spirit bird didn't get swallowed. Instead, it entered the dragon's belly headfirst.
nà shì yī piàn fěn hóng sè de xiá wù !
那是一片粉红色的霞雾!
Lin Xuan frowned. This victory seemed too easy. Then he quickly realized something wasn’t right; a red line suddenly appeared on the surface of the ice dragon. It started as a faint dot and gradually deepened and grew larger, spreading across the entire body like a demonic flame that burned fiercely.
wù qì bù duō , què fǎng fú huó wù , rú tóng yǒu shēng mìng yì bān de rú dòng zhe , jiē zhe , yī zhī chǐ xǔ zhǎng de líng niǎo cóng wù qì lǐ miàn yuè shēng ér chū , yǎng tóu chū yī shēng míng jiào , shuāng mù zhōng shǎn shuò zhe hóng guāng , xiàng zhe lín xuān fēi pū ér shàng 。
雾气不多,却仿佛活物,如同有生命一般的蠕动着,接着,一只尺许长的灵鸟从雾气里面跃升而出,仰头出一声鸣叫,双目中闪烁着红光,向着林轩飞扑而上。
The Snowy Cloud Falling Sword lost its spiritual essence instantly.
zǎ yī kàn , cǐ gōng jī bìng bù qǐ yǎn 。
咋一看,此攻击并不起眼。
Lin Xuan's face turned pale. Although it wasn't his primary treasure, he naturally didn’t want to see it destroyed so easily.
rán ér lín xuān biǎo qíng què níng zhòng dào le jí diǎn 。
然而林轩表情却凝重到了极点。
He snapped his fingers again, causing the ice dragon to shrink into a blue light and return to his hand.
shēn chū shǒu lái , zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi , piāo yún luò xuě jiàn suí zhī fēi le qǐ lái , huà wèi yī tóu qī bā zhàng de bīng jiāo , yǔ líng niǎo hōng rán xiāng zhuàng 。
伸出手来,在储物袋上一拍,飘云落雪剑随之飞了起来,化为一头七八丈的冰蛟,与灵鸟轰然相撞。
Red Silk smiled faintly but didn’t纠缠不放. With a slight mental push, she sent out a red light from the sword’s surface, transforming back into a spirit bird that hovered above her head.
liǎng de tǐ jī gēn běn jiù chéng bǐ lì , rú guǒ guāng cóng shì jué shàng fēn xī , líng niǎo yí gè zhào miàn jiù yīng gāi bèi jiāo lóng tūn shì diào 。
两的体积根本就成比例,如果光从视觉上分析,灵鸟一个照面就应该被蛟龙吞噬掉。
"Friend, you don't need to waste your effort anymore. Your abilities are insufficient to resist me. I have a suggestion; would you be willing to listen?"
rán ér jié guǒ què wán quán bù yí yàng 。
然而结果却完全不一样。
Lin Xuan's expression fluctuated as he looked at his three-foot-long sword, the Snowy Cloud Falling Sword. Although it wasn’t an顶尖之物, it was still a powerful ancient treasure.
bīng jiāo què shí zhāng dà le zuǐ bā , rán ér líng niǎo què bú shì bèi tūn , ér shì zì jǐ zuān jìn le de dǔ zi tóu 。
冰蛟确实张大了嘴巴,然而灵鸟却不是被吞,而是自己钻进了的肚子头。
He had used it with ease and divine assistance, but this time...
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu , zhè yíng dé yě tài qīng sōng , jiē zhe jiù àn jiào bù hǎo , zhǐ jiàn bīng jiāo de biǎo miàn , tū rán chū xiàn le yī dào hóng xiàn , xiān shì qiǎn qiǎn de yì diǎn , jiē zhe jiù biàn shēn biàn dà le qǐ lái , zài zhěng gè bīng jiāo de shēn tǐ shàng miàn kuò sàn , rú yī tuán yāo yì de huǒ yàn bān , xióng xióng rán shāo le qǐ lái 。
林轩眉头一皱,这赢得也太轻松,接着就暗叫不好,只见冰蛟的表面,突然出现了一道红线,先是浅浅的一点,接着就变深变大了起来,在整个冰蛟的身体上面扩散,如一团妖异的火焰般,熊熊燃烧了起来。
The sword was covered in scars, and many parts were broken. Hadn't he just destroyed his own treasure with one casual strike from the other side?
piāo yún luò xuě jiàn dùn shí líng xìng dà shī le qǐ lái 。
飘云落雪剑顿时灵性大失了起来。
However, Lin Xuan didn’t dwell on his loss; more pressing was his fear. A hero without a name is a rare sight. No wonder that Corpse婴 feared Red Silk so much; her abilities far exceeded his imagination.
lín xuān liǎn sè yī bái , zhè suī rán bú shì tā de běn mìng fǎ bǎo , dàn zì rán yě bù yuàn yì rú cǐ qīng yì de jiù bèi huǐ diào 。
林轩脸色一白,这虽然不是他的本命法宝,但自然也不愿意如此轻易的就被毁掉。
Seeing she didn't continue to attack, Lin Xuan felt somewhat surprised and took a deep breath to calm his fear: "What suggestion? Please speak."
shuāng shǒu yī qiā jué , bīng jiāo dùn shí suō xiǎo , huà wèi yī dào lán guāng , fēi huí dào le shǒu shàng 。
双手一掐诀,冰蛟顿时缩小,化为一道蓝光,飞回到了手上。
Although he knew the conditions would be harsh after such a strike, Lin Xuan decided not to directly confront her. He wanted to hear what she had in mind before deciding whether to accept or reject it. After all, he could still consider his options even if he didn't agree.
hóng líng qiǎn qiǎn yī xiào , dào yě méi yǒu jiū chán bù fàng , shén niàn wēi tǔ , jiù cóng jiàn shēn de biǎo miàn fēi shè chū yī dào hóng guāng , huán yuán chéng líng niǎo , xuán fú zài tā de tóu dǐng shàng 。
红绫浅浅一笑,倒也没有纠缠不放,神念微吐,就从剑身的表面飞射出一道红光,还原成灵鸟,悬浮在她的头顶上。

"Come out, friend. You've been hiding and peeking from the side. Are you planning to do something?" Lin Xuan said as he slowly turned his body, staring at a spot on the left that was empty. His gaze was filled with coldness.
