guāng kàn shēng shì jiù zhī dào fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， xuán yīn guǐ nǚ cǐ kè shì zhēn dòng shā xīn le ， bù xī dà hào jīng xuè shī zhǎn qǐ
光看声势就知道非同小可，玄阴鬼女此刻是真动杀心了，不惜大耗精血施展起
The sheer force of the attack made it clear that this was no ordinary confrontation. The Dark Yin Demoness had truly set her heart on killing, and without hesitation, she unleashed a forbidden technique.
le mǒu zhǒng jìn jì de mì shù 。
了某种禁忌的秘术。
Sizzle…
cī lā ……
刺啦……
The spirit snake transformed into a dragon, and the dual-headed black snake in the dark mist suddenly grew in size, sprouting horns and claws. It was a formidable sight.
líng shé huà lóng ， mó wù zhōng shuāng tóu wū shé de tǐ xíng měng rán biàn dà ， shēng chū le jī jiǎo lì zhuǎ ， yī tóu zhēng níng de è
灵蛇化龙，魔雾中双头乌蛇的体型猛然变大，生出了犄角利爪，一头狰狞的恶
Lin轩 stretched out his hand and lightly tapped his storage bag, releasing a streak of green light that shot out.
It was an emerald jade flute, clear and verdant. Lin轩 had not used this beast soul treasure for quite some time now, and he couldn't help but feel a momentary silence as he thought about the shattered Snowfall Sword.
He then channeled his power into it.
jiāo chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn zhōng 。
蛟出现在了视线中。
A green giant python appeared, over ten meters long. With Lin轩's cultivation having reached the Great Success of Demon Infant stage, this treasure was far more powerful than before. The two colossal beasts clashed, and in just a few seconds, the evil dragon was defeated. The Dark Yin Demoness opened her mouth and spat out several drops of crimson blood.
gǎn jué dào nà páng bó de líng yā ， níng sān fū rén de yǎn zhōng yǐn yǐn shǎn guò yī sī wèi jù zhī sè ， dàn tā bù néng tuì suō
感觉到那磅礴的灵压，宁三夫人的眼中隐隐闪过一丝畏惧之色，但她不能退缩
Using such a technique would naturally cause significant damage to her essence energy, but now that it had been destroyed, she suffered even more backlash from the attack.
， yě wú chǔ kě duǒ ， zhǐ néng yín yá yī yǎo ， jiāng hún shēn de fǎ lì zhù rù shēn qián de fǎ bǎo 。
，也无处可躲，只能银牙一咬，将浑身的法力注入身前的法宝。
Seizing the opportunity, Lin轩 attacked again with several green sword lights, forming a line and slicing through the protective barrier. The dragon's fangs added to the pressure, and under the Dark Yin Demoness' despairing gaze, the shield began to crumble.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
"Master!"
The Cloud Ghost Sect disciples were filled with sorrow and anger but mostly fear. As the sect master, she was undoubtedly their strongest fighter. However, even facing a seemingly ordinary young man, she had no chance of fighting back. An old monster at the婴 stage was indeed beyond what they could match in strength.
cǐ nǚ shēn chū yù zhǐ ， huǎn huǎn de xiàng qián diǎn qù 。 biǎo qíng níng zhòng yǐ jí ， nà běn jiù yǒu gé lóu dà xiǎo de yìn zhāng háo
此女伸出玉指，缓缓的向前点去。表情凝重以极，那本就有阁楼大小的印章毫
With the sect master's death, there was no longer any inclination to fight. They scattered and fled for their lives.
guāng dà fàng ， tǐ jī zài cì péng zhàng ， rú xiǎo shān bān hěn hěn de zá xiàng le duì fāng 。
光大放，体积再次膨胀，如小山般狠狠的砸向了对方。
...
è jiāo yáng qǐ tóu ， yī shēng dà hǒu ， yī dào guāng bō cóng lǐ miàn pēn shè ér chū ， yǔ yìn zhāng yī jiē chù ， jiù jiāng qí yuǎn
恶蛟扬起头，一声大吼，一道光波从里面喷射而出，与印章一接触，就将其远
The aftermath did not require much elaboration. Lin轩 led the Ning family cultivators in pursuit of the fleeing enemies. Despite his efforts, only about twenty lucky ones managed to escape.
Lin轩 felt no regret; contentment was a virtue, and he knew that it would be impossible to completely destroy such a powerful sect with one battle.
yuǎn de hōng kāi le 。
远的轰开了。
However, this defeat would surely cripple their strength for some time, which would benefit the Ning family in many ways. But these were matters for the future, so there was no need to dwell on them now.
hóng yī měi fù liǎn sè yī bái ， tā méi xiǎng dào duì fāng de mì shù rú cǐ lì hài ， jiù zhè qíng xíng kàn ， jí shǐ shì zì jǐ
红衣美妇脸色一白，她没想到对方的秘术如此厉害，就这情形看，即使是自己
The major battle ended, and several Ning family elders had also perished. The survivors looked relieved as Lin轩 ordered, "This matter is concluded. You go elsewhere to aid in the extermination of those invaders."
de běn mìng fǎ bǎo ， kǒng pà yě wú fǎ dǐ dǎng ， shèn zhì hái kě néng bèi duì fāng chèn shì huǐ diào 。
的本命法宝，恐怕也无法抵挡，甚至还可能被对方趁势毁掉。
"Yes!"
xīn zhōng lüè gǎn hòu huǐ ， zǎo zhī dào bù yīng gāi zhāo rě zhè lǎo yāo fù ， kě xiàn zài wéi yǒu tūn xià zhè méi kǔ guǒ 。
心中略感后悔，早知道不应该招惹这老妖妇，可现在唯有吞下这枚苦果。
All the cultivators bowed respectfully, showing their obedience.
pīn le ！
拼了！
This was power!
shuāng shǒu yī qiā ， zhèng yù shī zhǎn qí tā de shén tōng mì fǎ ， tū rán cóng tóu dǐng zhī shàng ， chuán lái yī gǔ páng bó de líng yā 。
双手一掐，正欲施展其他的神通秘法，突然从头顶之上，传来一股磅礴的灵压。
Lin轩 felt a ripple of emotion within him. Since his Demon Infant transformation, he had encountered nothing but smooth sailing and respect from others due to his strength. The benefits were evident.
hào hàn ， qiáng dà ！
浩瀚，强大！
But this feeling did not make him lose sight of his goals; instead, it fueled his desire for even greater power. With the current battle over, he was preparing to focus on cultivating his essence energy for the upcoming婴 stage.
lǎo zǔ ？
老祖？
With that thought in mind, Lin轩 transformed into a streak of light and flew towards another intense battlefield.
hóng yī měi fù xīn zhōng yī xǐ ， kě suí jí ， liǎn shàng yòu lù chū le jǐ fēn chà yì ， méi yǒu shī qì ， ér qiě nà yā lì
红衣美妇心中一喜，可随即，脸上又露出了几分诧异，没有尸气，而且那压力
...
bǐ lǎo zǔ hái yào shèng shàng yī chóu de yàng zi 。
比老祖还要胜上一筹的样子。
Several hours later, as the sun began its descent, the continuous fighting finally came to an end. Only scattered skirmishes remained.
zěn me huì ？
怎么会？
The aftermath was gruesome, with bodies strewn everywhere. Most were outsiders, and today should have been a disaster for the Ning family, but Lin轩's intervention had completely changed their fate.
nán dào cǐ kè zài léi yīn shān shàng ， hái yǒu bié de yuán yīng qī lǎo guài ？
难道此刻在雷阴山上，还有别的元婴期老怪？
Cloud Ghost Sect suffered heavy losses, including the sect master, Dark Yin Demoness. Above the婴 stage cultivators numbered less than a third, while most of the base-level disciples perished.
hóng yī měi fù dùn shí xīn jīng dǎn zhàn ， bù guò tā bìng méi yǒu dān xīn duō zhǎng shí jiān ， yīn wèi suí zhe nà kě pà de líng yā
红衣美妇顿时心惊胆战，不过她并没有担心多长时间，因为随着那可怕的灵压
The张家 also fared poorly, facing a Corpse Spirit with far more brutal methods despite lower cultivation levels.
， yī dào qīng guāng fú xiàn ， xùn jié yǐ jí de jī shè dào le zì jǐ miàn qián ， huà wèi yī zhī qīng sè de jù shǒu ， è hěn
，一道青光浮现，迅捷以极的激射到了自己面前，化为一只青色的巨手，恶狠
The outcome was predictable...
hěn de yíng xiàng le nà tóu jiāo lóng ……
狠的迎向了那头蛟龙……
The remaining were independent cultivators and small families who had benefited from Cloud Ghost Sect. Seeing the Ning family's decline, they hoped to take advantage but ended up suffering instead.
bú yòng shuō ， duì fāng shì zhàn zài zì jǐ zhè biān de ， mò fēi shì lǎo zǔ de péng yǒu ？
不用说，对方是站在自己这边的，莫非是老祖的朋友？
For these people, there would be no mercy. They should pay for their choices, though there was no need to chase them down too aggressively; most managed to escape.
níng sān fū rén nǎo hǎi zhōng shùn jiān zhuǎn guò zhè ge niàn tou ， yǒu yuán yīng qī xiū shì zuò bāng shǒu ， tā hái yǒu shén me hǎo pà de
宁三夫人脑海中瞬间转过这个念头，有元婴期修士做帮手，她还有什么好怕的
After the battle, thousands of Ning family disciples emerged and began cleaning up the battlefield, searching for lost treasures. The high-ranking elders all gathered in the White Tiger Hall.
， dǐ qì dùn zú ， liǎn dài jī fěng de wàng xiàng xuán yīn guǐ nǚ nà lǎo yāo fù 。
，底气顿足，脸带讥讽的望向玄阴鬼女那老妖妇。
The Corpse Spirit's reputation soared, and his authority over the Ning family disciples was immense. By his side stood a seemingly ordinary young man dressed in a simple green robe, appearing no more than twenty years old. However, everyone's gaze towards him still carried a sense of reverence; he too was an old monster at the婴 stage.
pū chī ……
噗嗤……
One could not judge by appearance, but this guy seemed far too young.
qīng wēi de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà jiāo lóng jū rán sān xià wǔ chú èr de jiāng qīng sè jù shǒu jī kuì le 。
轻微的爆裂声传入耳朵，那蛟龙居然三下五除二的将青色巨手击溃了。
Of course, such thoughts were merely whispered and never shown on his face.
“ yí ？”
“咦？”
"Salutations to the Corpse Spirit! If it weren't for your divine might, our Ning family would have faced unimaginable consequences," Ning Wanshan led the cultivators in a bow and kowtow.
lín xuān xuán fú zài shù shí zhàng yuǎn de bàn kōng zhī zhōng ， jiàn le cǐ mù ， liǎn shàng bù yóu de lù chū le jǐ fēn chà yì zhī sè
林轩悬浮在数十丈远的半空之中，见了此幕，脸上不由的露出了几分诧异之色
"Enough." The Corpse Spirit waved his hand. "Come meet Lin Daoist; he is an old friend of mine who has also contributed greatly."
， xuán yīn guǐ nǚ bù kuì wèi yī zōng zhī zhǔ ， shén tōng dào yuǎn fēi pǔ tōng xiū shì kě bǐ 。
，玄阴鬼女不愧为一宗之主，神通倒远非普通修士可比。
"Thank you, Senior Lin for your assistance."
yào shōu shí tā kàn lái yào duō fèi yī fān shǒu jiǎo 。
要收拾她看来要多费一番手脚。
Many Ning family disciples had seen Lin轩's power and knew him to be another婴 stage cultivator. They bowed respectfully.
lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái ， qīng qīng zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， yī dào qīng máng cóng lǐ miàn fēi le chū lái 。
林轩伸出手来，轻轻在储物袋上一拍，一道青芒从里面飞了出来。
"This crisis was caused by internal strife within the Ning family. You must remember this lesson," said Lin轩.
shì yī gēn yù dí ， qīng cuì ér bì lǜ ， zhè shòu hún zhī bǎo zì jǐ bù yòng yǐ yǒu hǎo zhǎng shí jiān ， lín xuān yóu tā xiǎng dào
是一根玉笛，清脆而碧绿，这兽魂之宝自己不用已有好长时间，林轩由它想到
"Yes, Master Corpse Spirit, we will not make the same mistake again."
le bèi huǐ de piāo yún luò xuě jiàn ， liǎn shàng bù yóu de shǎn guò yī sī mò rán 。
了被毁的飘云落雪剑，脸上不由的闪过一丝默然。
"Very well, with this matter concluded, I shall go out for a wander in the clouds." The Corpse Spirit spoke slowly and saw the worry on everyone's faces. He waved his hand again: "Do not worry; there is no need to persuade me. Although I am leaving, Lin Daoist has agreed to become our guest elder."
suí hòu jiāng fǎ lì zhù rù lǐ miàn 。
随后将法力注入里面。
Lin轩 then flew towards another intense battlefield.
The sheer force of the attack made it clear that this was no ordinary confrontation. The Dark Yin Demoness had truly set her heart on killing, and without hesitation, she unleashed a forbidden technique.
