xiǎng zǒu ？
想走？
Would he try to escape?
hóng líng jiāo měi de miàn tóng fú xiàn chū yī céng shā qì ， xiǎn rán xīn zhōng yī shì fèn nù yǐ jí ， tái qǐ tóu ， yù shǒu diǎn chū ， yī xiǎo qiǎo de yù huán bèi tā jì le qǐ lái 。
红绫娇美的面同浮现出一层杀气，显然心中一是愤怒以及，抬起头，玉手点出，一小巧的玉环被她祭了起来。
Red Silk's delicate face was adorned with a layer of killing intent, clearly filled with anger. She looked up and pointed her jade hand, summoning a small jade ring.
zào xíng gǔ piáo ， kàn qù jiù xiàng nǚ zǐ suí shēn pèi dài de shǒu zhuó ， kě pà de líng yā suí zhī xiàng bō wén yī yàng de dàng yàng kāi lái 。
造型古朴，看去就像女子随身佩戴的手镯，可怕的灵压随之像波纹一样的荡漾开来。
The design was ancient, resembling a bracelet worn by a woman. A terrifying spiritual pressure spread out like ripples.
lín xuān de tóng kǒng wēi wēi shōu suō ， liǎn shǎn guò yī sī hài rán zhī sè ， xiǎng yě bù xiǎng ， zuǒ shǒu fān dòng ， yī zhāng fú lù yǐ yóu yī xiù huá luò dào zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。
林轩的瞳孔威威收缩，脸闪过一丝骇然之色，想也不想，左手翻动，一张符箓已由衣袖滑落到掌心之中。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he flashed a look of shock on his face. Without hesitation, he flicked his left hand and a talisman slid from his sleeve to rest in his palm.
cǐ fú hóng guāng shǎn shǎn ， líng qì àng rán ， fú lù biǎo miàn ， huì zhì zhe yī bǐng cùn xǔ zhǎng de xiǎo jiàn 。
此符红光闪闪，灵气盎然，符箓表面，绘制着一柄寸许长的小剑。
This talisman shone with red light, brimming with essence qi, and a tiny sword was drawn upon its surface.
lín xuān jiāng fǎ lì zhù rù lǐ miàn ， cǐ bǎo dùn shí wú fēng zì rán ， nà bǐng xiǎo jiàn yě ruò yǐn ruò xiàn 。 hóng líng xiān zi jiàn le ， liǎn sè dà biàn 。
林轩将法力注入里面，此宝顿时无风自燃，那柄小剑也若隐若现。红绫仙子见了，脸色大变。
Lin Xuan infused his mana into it, causing the artifact to ignite on its own. The small sword became visible. Red Silk's expression changed dramatically when she saw this.
“ zhè shì zhǎng mén shī bó de tiān yuán jiàn ， nǐ cóng hé chù dé lái ？”
“这是掌门师伯的天元剑，你从何处得来？”
"This is Master Senior's Heaven Origin Sword. Where did you get it?"
lín xuān nǎ yǒu huí dá tā de shí jiān ， zhāng kāi kǒu ， pēn chū yī dào jīng xuè ， tóng shí yī qiā jué ， cǐ jiàn kāi shǐ wēi wēi de zhèn chàn 。
林轩哪有回答他的时间，张开口，喷出一道精血，同时一掐诀，此剑开始微微的震颤。
Before Lin Xuan could respond, he opened his mouth and spat out a drop of essence blood while simultaneously casting a spell. The sword began to tremble slightly.
yī dào yī dào de jiàn guāng cóng miàn fēn lí chū lái 。
一道一道的剑光从面分离出来。
A series of sword lights separated from the blade.
lín xuān yī shēng qīng hē ， nà xiē jiàn guāng dùn shí yǒu rú kuáng fēng bō yú ， xiàng zhe hóng líng xiān zi kuáng juàn ér qù 。
林轩一声轻喝，那些剑光顿时有如狂风钵盂，向着红绫仙子狂狷而去。
Lin Xuan called out softly, and those sword lights instantly transformed into a whirlwind, rushing towards Red Silk.
qū qū yī níng dān qī xiū shì ， hóng líng zì rán shì bù fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， rán ér zhǎng mén shī bó de tiān yuán jiàn tā nǎ gǎn yǒu bàn fēn qīng shì ， jí shí fú bǎo jǐn néng fā huī chū cǐ jiàn wēi néng de wǔ fēn zhī yī 。
区区一凝丹期修士，红绫自燃是不放在眼里，然而掌门师伯的天元剑她哪敢有半分轻视，及时符宝仅能发挥出此剑威能的五分之一。
A mere Core Formation stage cultivator, Red Silk didn't take him seriously. However, she dared not underestimate Master Senior's Heaven Origin Sword, even though the talisman could only unleash one-fifth of its power.
bì jìng nà shì yóu lí hé qī xiū shì qīn zì liàn zhì 。
毕竟那是由离合期修士亲自炼制。
After all, it was personally crafted by an Alchemy Foundation stage cultivator.
cǐ kè tā yǐ máng bù zhe shā dí ， shǒu xiān gǒng gù zì jǐ de fáng yù 。
此刻她已忙不着杀敌，首先巩固自己的防御。
At this moment, her primary concern wasn't fighting but securing her defenses first.
hóng líng chōng zhe yù zhǐ huán yì diǎn ， cǐ bǎo dī liū liū de kāi shǐ xuán zhuǎn ， líng guāng dàng yàng ， wú shù de xì sī cóng miàn fēn lí 。
红绫冲着玉指环一点，此宝滴溜溜的开始旋转，灵光荡漾，无数的细丝从面分离。
Red Silk pointed at the jade ring with her finger. The artifact began to spin rapidly as spiritual light radiated from it, forming countless fine threads in mid-air.
hóng líng shuāng shǒu biàn huàn bù yǐ ， shà nà jiān ， jìng fǎng fú qiān shǒu guān yīn ， tóng shí niē qǐ liǎo wú shù de fǎ yìn 。
红绫双手变幻不已，霎那间，竟仿佛千手观音，同时捏起了无数的法印。
Red Silk's hands moved ceaselessly, transforming into a thousand-handed goddess. She conjured numerous spells simultaneously.
nà xiē xì sī zài bàn kōng zhōng chuān suō ， yī kuài hóng sè de líng xíng dùn pái jiàn jiàn xiàn xíng 。
那些细丝在半空中穿梭，一块红色的菱形盾牌渐渐现形。
Those fine threads weaved through the air, gradually taking shape of an oblong red shield.
ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì kāi shǐ ， jiē zhe yòu shì yí miàn 。
而这仅仅是开始，接着又是一面。
But this was just the beginning; another shield appeared shortly after.
qǐng kè zhī jiān ， jiù zài tā de miàn qián bù xiā le shí bā miàn hóng guāng yào yǎn de guāng dùn lái 。
顷刻之间，就在她的面前不瞎了十八面红光耀眼的光盾来。
In no time, eighteen bright-red shields materialized before her.
cì shén tōng de wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dāng chū lián xuè hún ** yě dǎng zhù ， ér nà shí hòu hóng líng cái gāng gāng duó shě chéng gōng ， xíng tǐ shàng wèi wěn gù 。
次神通的威力非同小可，当初连血魂**也挡住，而那时候红绫才刚刚夺舍成功，形体尚未稳固。
This technique's power was formidable. Even Blood Soul had been blocked by it when Red Silk first gained control over the body, but back then, she hadn't yet stabilized her form.
bù guò miàn duì tiān yuán jiàn fú bǎo cǐ nǚ yǐ jiǔ bù gǎn yǒu bàn diǎn de qīng hū ， chú le cì shén tōng ， jiāng nà jǐn pà yě jì le qǐ lái ， jiāng tā hún shēn bāo guǒ 。
不过面对天元剑符宝此女已久不敢有半点的轻忽，除了次神通，将那锦帕也祭了起来，将她浑身包裹。
However, facing Master Senior's Heaven Origin Sword talisman, she couldn't afford any complacency. Besides the primary technique, she also summoned a brocade scarf to wrap herself in.
zhè zhōng jiān de guò chéng kàn shì fán fù ， qí shí jǐn jǐn yī shùn jiān jiù wán chéng le 。
这中间的过程看似繁复，其实仅仅一瞬间就完成了。
The process seemed complex but was completed within an instant.
qīng huáng èr sè jiàn guāng yǐ rán pī 。
青黄二色剑光已然劈。
Two-colored sword lights began to slash.
qián miàn jǐ dào bèi guān dùn dǎng zhù ， rán ér suí zhāo shù liàng de zēng duō ， cǐ dùn xiǎn rán bù kān zhòng fù ， cī lā yī shēng huà wèi wú shù de suì piàn le 。
前面几道被关盾挡住，然而随着数量的增多，此盾显然不堪重负，刺啦一声化为无数的碎片了。
Several were blocked by the shields, but as their number increased, the shield clearly struggled and eventually shattered into countless fragments.
bù guò dì èr miàn yòu dāng zài le qián miàn 。
不过第二面又当在了前面。
However, another shield took its place.
ér hóng líng yě méi yǒu zuò shì bù guǎn ， shuāng shǒu bù tíng biàn huàn ， xíng chéng xīn de dùn pái ， yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， gèng duō de jiàn guāng ， yě cóng fú bǎo zhōng yǒng xiàn chū lái 。
而红绫也没有坐视不管，双手不停变换，形成新的盾牌，与此同时，更多的剑光，也从符宝中涌现出来。
And Red Silk didn't sit idly by. Her hands kept changing, forming new shields while more sword lights emerged from the talisman.
yī shí zhī jiān ， shuāng fāng dào chéng le pīn dòu fǎ lì 。 zhǐ bù guò shì fú bǎo de wēi néng yǔ hóng líng xiāng dǐ 。
一时之间，双方倒成了拼斗法力。只不过是符宝的威能与红绫相抵。
The two began exchanging magical power, with the talisman's strength countering Red Silk's efforts.
“ yuè ér ， kuài ”
“月儿，快”
"Little Moon, hurry!"
chéng cǐ shí jiān ， lín xuān xiǎng xiǎo yā tou fā chū le shén niàn ， yuè ér shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yǐ jīng chū xiàn zài le lín xuān de páng biān 。
乘此时间，林轩想小丫头发出了神念，月儿身形一闪，已经出现在了林轩的旁边。
Taking advantage of this moment, Lin Xuan sent a mental message to Little Moon, who appeared beside him.
gāng cái bèi shì shén shù àn suàn zhī shí ， hóng líng jiù yǐ jīng zhī dào duì fāng bù zhǐ yī rén ， què wàn wàn méi yǒu xiǎng dào zài zhè shào nián de shēn tǐ lǐ ， jū rán hái cáng zhe yí gè níng dān qī de guǐ chǒng 、
刚才被噬神术暗算之时，红绫就已经知道对方不止一人，却万万没有想到在这少年的身体里，居然还藏着一个凝丹期的鬼宠、
When attacked by Soul Devouring Technique earlier, Red Silk had already sensed that it wasn't just one opponent. But she never imagined that there was another Core Formation stage ghost pet hidden within the young man's body.
hóng líng kàn le yuè ér yī yǎn ， mù guāng zhōng háo bù yǎn shì de liú lù chū hèn yì ， tā dào bù pà duì fāng lái jiā jī zì jǐ ， zhǐ yào áo guò zhè dì yī bō gōng jǐ ， hòu miàn jiù kě yǐ jiāng liǎng rén chōu hún bā pí 。
红绫看了月儿一眼，目光中毫不掩饰的流露出恨意，她倒不怕对方来夹击自己，只要熬过这第一波供给，后面就可以将两人抽魂扒皮。
Red Silk looked at Little Moon with undisguised hatred. She didn't fear an attack from the other side; as long as she could endure this first wave, she could extract their souls later.
kě xī yuè ér dé dào lín xuān de shòu yì ， nǎ yǒu sī háo cān yù wéi gōng zhī yì ， lín xuān suī rán shén tōng bù ruò ， yòu yǒu fú bǎo zài shǒu ， dàn zì zhī zhī míng hái shì yǒu 。
可惜月儿得到林轩的授意，哪有丝毫参与围攻之意，林轩虽然神通不弱，又有符宝在手，但自知之明还是有。
Unfortunately, Little Moon followed Lin Xuan's instructions and showed no intention of joining the assault. Although Lin Xuan was a formidable cultivator with the talisman in hand, he knew his limits.
ruò jǐn jǐn shì yuán yīng chū qī de xiū shì ， zì jǐ quán lì xiāng pīn ， shèng fù rú hé ， dào yě nán shuō ， dàn yǎn qián de nǚ xiū ， kě shì zhōng qī dǐng fēng xiū wèi le 。
若仅仅是元婴初期的修士，自己全力相拼，胜负如何，倒也难说，但眼前的女修，可是中期顶峰修为了。
If it were just an early-stage Core Formation stage cultivator, the outcome might be uncertain. But this female cultivator was at the peak of mid-stage.
zì jǐ kào zhe fú bǎo ， duǎn shí jiān nèi jiāng qí yā zhì bìng bù nán ， dàn shí jiān yí dàn tuō cháng ， zé méi yǒu bàn diǎn shèng suàn ， bì jìng fú bǎo zhōng de wēi néng yòng yì diǎn jiù shǎo yì diǎn ， chí zǎo huì xiāo hào wán 。
自己靠着符宝，短时间内将其压制并不难，但时间一旦拖长，则没有半点胜算，毕竟符宝中的威能用一点就少一点，迟早会消耗完。
With the talisman's power, he could temporarily suppress her for a short time but would eventually run out of mana. The sooner he escaped, the better.
jì rán qǔ shèng wú wàng ， nà me shèng xià de yī tiáo lù ， jiù shì táo 。
既然取胜无望，那么剩下的一条路，就是逃。
Little Moon's figure flickered and transformed into a faint light, reaching the stone platform.
yuè ér shēn xíng yī huǎng ， huà wèi yī dào yōu guāng ， yǐ jīng lái dào le nà shí tái zhī 。
月儿身形一晃，化为一道幽光，已经来到了那石台之。
Red Silk wasn't foolish; seeing Little Moon's actions, she understood Lin Xuan's intentions clearly. Escape? It wouldn't be that easy!
hóng líng dào yě bù shǎ ， jiàn dào cì nǚ guǐ de dòng zuò ， duì yú lín xuān xīn zhōng de dǎ suàn ， zì rán shǐ yì qīng èr chǔ ， xiǎng táo ？ nǎ yǒu zhè me qīng sōng ？
红绫倒也不傻，见到次女鬼的动作，对于林轩心中的打算，自然史一清二楚，想逃？哪有这么轻松？
It was sheer folly to think so in front of her!
zài zì jǐ miàn qián ， gēn běn jiù shì bái rì zuò mèng ！
在自己面前，根本就是白日做梦！
With a cold snort, the jade bracelet hovering mid-air suddenly radiated intense light.
yī shēng lěng hēng ， nà xuán fú zài bàn kōng zhōng de yù zhuó yī xià zi líng guāng dà shèng 。
一声冷哼，那悬浮在半空中的玉镯一下子灵光大盛。
This artifact combined attack and defense. She intended to activate its power to counter the talisman. No matter what, she would prevent them from escaping.
cǐ bǎo gōng fáng yī tǐ ， tā zhèng xiǎng cuī dòng qí wēi néng 。 yǔ fú bǎo yìng pèng ， wú lùn rú hé ， yě yào zǔ zhī duì fāng táo pǎo de měi mèng 、
此宝攻防一体，她正想催动其威能。与符宝硬碰，无论如何，也要组织对方逃跑的美梦、
Seeing the spiritual lights form into terrifying beasts, Lin Xuan knew this was expected. The key now lay in whether he could buy enough time for Little Moon to activate the teleportation array.
yǎn jiàn nà xiē líng guāng zài bàn kōng zhōng chéng xíng ， huàn huà chū yī tóu tóu zhēng níng de yāo shòu ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yī dòng ， duì fāng de fǎn yìng ， tā zǎo xiǎng dào le 。
眼见那些灵光在半空中成型，幻化出一头头狰狞的妖兽，林轩心中一动，对方的反应，他早想到了。
Though the talisman's power was unparalleled, operating it consumed all of his mental and mana resources. Clenching his teeth, Lin Xuan强行activated a secret technique from the True Scripture of Profound Evil.
xiàn zài néng fǒu tuō yán ， guān jiàn jiù zài yú zì jǐ néng bù zài wèi yuè ér zhēng qǔ dào qǐ dòng chuán sòng zhèn de shí jiān 。
现在能否拖延，关键就在于自己能不再为月儿争取到启动传送阵的时间。
Evil cultivators were inherently cunning, and as one of the top techniques, it allowed for a temporary boost in cultivation. Lin Xuan took out another small pill from his pocket, barely the size of a fingernail. A pungent smell wafted towards him.
fú bǎo de wēi néng zì rán shǐ wú yǔ lún bǐ ， dàn cāo zòng tā ， yě hào qù le lín xuān de quán bù shén shí yǔ fǎ lì 。 yǎo le yǎo yá ， lín xuān qiáng xíng shī zhǎn qǐ xuán mó zhēn jīng zhōng mì fǎ 。
符宝的威能自然史无与伦比，但操纵它，也耗去了林轩的全部神识与法力。咬了咬牙，林轩强行施展起玄魔真经中秘法。
This sparrow pill wasn't crafted by Lin Xuan; he had obtained it accidentally twenty years ago. After consuming it, one could instantly replenish their lost mana. Of course, there were severe drawbacks, but at this moment, Lin Xuan couldn't care less.
suǒ wèi mó xiū ， běn jiù qǔ qiǎo ， zuò wéi qí zhōng de dǐng jiān gōng fǎ ， zì rán yǒu duǎn shí jiān nèi tí shēng xiū wèi de mì ， lín xuān yòu cóng huái zhōng qǔ chū yī lì yào wán ， jǐn yǒu xiǎo zhǐ jiān nà me dà yī diǎn ， rán ér yī gǔ xīn là de qì wèi què pū miàn ér lái 。
所谓魔修，本就取巧，作为其中的顶尖功法，自然有短时间内提升修为的秘，林轩又从怀中取出一粒药丸，仅有小指尖那么大一点，然而一股辛辣的气味却扑面而来。
He swallowed the pill, and a powerful heat filled his dantian as his mana rapidly recovered.
zhè lì bān jiū wán bīn bú shì lín xuān zì jǐ liàn de 。 èr shí yǐ qián ǒu rán zǎi le yí gè xiū mó zhě suǒ de 。 fú xià zhī hòu ， kě yǐ shùn jiān ràng xiāo hào de fǎ lì huī fù 。 dāng rán ， hòu huàn yě shì jí dà ， bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān zì rán gù bù dé 。
这粒斑鸠丸斌不是林轩自己炼的。二十以前偶然宰了一个修魔者所得。服下之后，可以瞬间让消耗的法力恢复。当然，后患也是极大，不过此时此刻，林轩自然顾不得。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and continuously infused the talisman with his mana. The small sword buzzed nonstop, emitting twice as many sword lights compared to before.
yī kǒu tūn xià ， páng bó de rè lì shùn jiān chōng mǎn le zhěng gè dān tián ， fǎ lì bù néng shuō shùn jiān bǔ mǎn ， dàn què shí fēi kuài de huī fù le qǐ lái 。
一口吞下，磅礴的热力瞬间充满了整个丹田，法力不能说瞬间补满，但确实飞快的恢复了起来。
Half continued to slash at the shields while the rest collided with the numerous spiritual beasts conjured by the jade bracelet.
lín xuān xī le kǒu qì ， jiāng qí yuán yuán bù jué de zhù rù dào shēn qián de fú bǎo lǐ ， nà xiǎo jiàn wēng wēng bù zhǐ ， fēn lí chū de jiàn guāng jī hū bǐ gāng cái kuài le jìn yí bèi hái duō 。
林轩吸了口气，将其源源不绝的注入到身前的符宝里，那小剑嗡嗡不止，分离出的剑光几乎比刚才快了近一倍还多。
However, an early-stage Core Formation stage cultivator shouldn't be underestimated. Despite this, Lin Xuan still felt immense pressure. Reluctantly, he split his mental energy and summoned the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring, which flew out several fire dragons and ice serpents to gain a slight advantage.
yí bàn jì xù xiàng guāng dùn zhǎn qù ， shèng xià de ， zé yǔ nà yù zhuó huàn huà chū lái de zhòng duō líng shòu zhuàng zài yì qǐ 。
一半继续向光盾斩去，剩下的，则与那玉镯幻化出来的众多灵兽撞在一起。
Red Silk was both shocked and angry. She never imagined that a mere Core Formation stage cultivator could actually trap her. Meanwhile, Little Moon had already reached the teleportation array.
dàn yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū shì qǐ róng xiǎo shì 。 jí biàn rú cǐ ， lín xuān réng rán gǎn jué dào jù dà de yā lì 。 bù dé yǐ ， tā zhǐ hǎo qiáng xíng fēn chū yī bù fèn shén shí ， jiāng jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán jì qǐ ， yín guāng zhī zhōng ， yòu fēi chū le jǐ tóu huǒ lóng yǔ bīng jiāo ， zhè yàng yī lái ， cái zǒng suàn miǎn qiǎng yòu zhàn dào le fēng 。
但元婴中期的修饰岂容小视。即便如此，林轩仍然感觉到巨大的压力。不得以，他只好强行分出一部分神识，将九天明月环祭起，银光之中，又飞出了几头火龙与冰蛟，这样一来，才总算勉强又占到了风。
Since she had studied璇玑 Heart Technique with Lin Xuan, she knew much about arrays. After checking, she found the array intact. Relieved, she knew if it needed repair, they would be in trouble.
hóng líng xiān zi yòu jīng yòu nù ， tā zuò mèng yě bù céng xiǎng yǐ qū qū níng dān qī xiū shì zhēn de néng gòu jiāng zì jǐ kùn zhù ， ér chéng zhe zhè ge kòng xì ， yuè ér yǐ jīng dào le chuán sòng zhèn le 。
红绫仙子又惊又怒，她做梦也不曾想以区区凝丹期修士真的能够将自己困住，而乘着这个空隙，月儿已经到了传送阵了。
She knew time was of the essence and began to wave her hands rapidly while exhaling essence qi into the array.
yóu yú bèi lín xuān lā zhe yì qǐ yán jiū xuán jī xīn dé ， duì yú zhèn fǎ ， zhè yā tou yě shì liǎo jiě pǒ duō ， lüè yī jiǎn chá ， jiù fā xiàn cǐ zhèn wán hǎo wú sǔn 。 yuè ér sōng le kǒu qì ， jiǎ nuò bìng bù néng yòng ， huò zhě xū yào xiū fù ， ná zì jǐ jiào hé shào yé kě jiù cǎn le 。
由于被林轩拉着一起研究璇玑心得，对于阵法，这丫头也是了解颇多，略一检查，就发现此阵完好无损。月儿松了口气，假诺并不能用，或者需要修复，拿自己叫和少爷可就惨了。
The array emitted a whirring sound and added a yellow glow.
tā yě zhī dào dān gē bù dé ， mǎ shēn chù liǎng zhǐ xiǎo shǒu ， bù tíng huī dòng ， tóng shí yī kǒu jīng qì pēn dào fǎ zhèn zhī zhōng 。
她也知道耽搁不得，马深处两只小手，不停挥动，同时一口精气喷到法阵之中。
"Master, done."
cǐ zhèn dùn shí wū wū wū míng xiǎng bìng qiě duō chū le yī dào huáng máng 。
此阵顿时呜呜呜鸣响并且多出了一道黄芒。
"Mm-hmm."
“ shào yé ， hǎo le ”
“少爷，好了”
Lin Xuan received Little Moon's signal and felt elated. However, escaping wasn't easy. Red Silk hadn't stopped him earlier but now aimed to keep this annoying young man occupied, allowing only the ghost girl to escape.
Would he try to escape?
Red Silk's delicate face was adorned with a layer of killing intent, clearly filled with anger. She looked up and pointed her jade hand, summoning a small jade ring.
The design was ancient, resembling a bracelet worn by a woman. A terrifying spiritual pressure spread out like ripples.
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he flashed a look of shock on his face. Without hesitation, he flicked his left hand and a talisman slid from his sleeve to rest in his palm.
This talisman shone with red light, brimming with essence qi, and a tiny sword was drawn upon its surface.
A talisman!
Lin Xuan infused his mana into it, causing the artifact to ignite on its own. The small sword became visible. Red Silk's expression changed dramatically when she saw this.
"This is Master Senior's Heaven Origin Sword. Where did you get it?"
Before Lin Xuan could respond, he opened his mouth and spat out a drop of essence blood while simultaneously casting a spell. The sword began to tremble slightly.
A series of sword lights separated from the blade.
"Go!"
Lin Xuan called out softly, and those sword lights instantly transformed into a whirlwind, rushing towards Red Silk.
A mere Core Formation stage cultivator, Red Silk didn't take him seriously. However, she dared not underestimate Master Senior's Heaven Origin Sword, even though the talisman could only unleash one-fifth of its power.
After all, it was personally crafted by an Alchemy Foundation stage cultivator.
At this moment, her primary concern wasn't fighting but securing her defenses first.
Red Silk pointed at the jade ring with her finger. The artifact began to spin rapidly as spiritual light radiated from it, forming countless fine threads in mid-air.
Swiftly!
Red Silk's hands moved ceaselessly, transforming into a thousand-handed goddess. She conjured numerous spells simultaneously.
Those fine threads weaved through the air, gradually taking shape of an oblong red shield.
But this was just the beginning; another shield appeared shortly after.
In no time, eighteen bright-red shields materialized before her.
This technique's power was formidable. Even Blood Soul had been blocked by it when Red Silk first gained control over the body, but back then, she hadn't yet stabilized her form.
However, facing Master Senior's Heaven Origin Sword talisman, she couldn't afford any complacency. Besides the primary technique, she also summoned a brocade scarf to wrap herself in.
The process seemed complex but was completed within an instant.
Two-colored sword lights began to slash.
Several were blocked by the shields, but as their number increased, the shield clearly struggled and eventually shattered into countless fragments.
However, another shield took its place.
And Red Silk didn't sit idly by. Her hands kept changing, forming new shields while more sword lights emerged from the talisman.
The two began exchanging magical power, with the talisman's strength countering Red Silk's efforts.
"Little Moon, hurry!"
Taking advantage of this moment, Lin Xuan sent a mental message to Little Moon, who appeared beside him.

Half continued to slash at the shields while the rest collided with the numerous spiritual beasts conjured by the jade bracelet.
However, an early-stage Core Formation stage cultivator shouldn't be underestimated. Despite this, Lin Xuan still felt immense pressure. Reluctantly, he split his mental energy and summoned the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring, which flew out several fire dragons and ice serpents to gain a slight advantage.
Red Silk was both shocked and angry. She never imagined that a mere Core Formation stage cultivator could actually trap her. Meanwhile, Little Moon had already reached the teleportation array.
Since she had studied璇玑 Heart Technique with Lin Xuan, she knew much about arrays. After checking, she found the array intact. Relieved, she knew if it needed repair, they would be in trouble.
She knew time was of the essence and began to wave her hands rapidly while exhaling essence qi into the array.
The array emitted a whirring sound and added a yellow glow.
"Master, done."
"Mm-hmm."
Lin Xuan received Little Moon's signal and felt elated. However, escaping wasn't easy. Red Silk hadn't stopped him earlier but now aimed to keep this annoying young man occupied, allowing only the ghost girl to escape.
