duì fāng de dí yì yǐ jīng biǎo xiàn dé hěn míng xiǎn ， lín xuān méi tóu wēi zhòu ， dàn yě méi yǒu duō shǎo jù sè ， zhèng hǎo shì yī shì zì jǐ jié yīng yǐ hòu de shén tōng 。
对方的敌意已经表现得很明显，林轩眉头微皱，但也没有多少惧色，正好试一试自己结婴以后的神通。
The opponent's hostility was already evident. Lin Xuan frowned slightly but showed no fear, just the right moment to test his abilities after forming an infant spirit.
xiù páo yī fú ， liǎng zhǐ xiǎo qiǎo de yín huán fēi lüè ér chū ， guāng máng sì shè ， dī liū liū pán xuán zài lín xuān tóu dǐng de shàng kōng 。
袖袍一拂，两只小巧的银环飞掠而出，光芒四射，滴溜溜盘旋在林轩头顶的上空。
With a wave of his sleeve, two small silver rings shot out, their light flashing and spinning above his head.
liǎng míng yāo zú lǎo guài yī dāi ， mǎn miàn è rán ， bù yóu de duì shì yī yǎn ， nán dào cǐ chù ， yǐ bù jù jué wǔ xíng zhī bǎo le ？
两名妖族老怪一呆，满面愕然，不由得对视一眼，难道此处，已不拒绝五行之宝了？
Two old monster beasts were taken aback, their faces full of surprise as they exchanged glances. Could it be that this place no longer rejected the Five Elements treasures?
yǒu xiē yì wài ， bù guò tā mén yě méi yǒu fàng zài xīn jiān ， duì fāng jǐn yǒu yī rén ， ér qiě cái gāng 、 gāng níng chéng jiàng … yīng ， shén tōng zài qiáng ， yě yǒu xiàn dù ， wú lùn rú hé ， yě táo bù chū zì jǐ zhǎng xīn de 。
有些意外，不过他扪也没有放在心间，对方仅有一人，而且才刚、刚凝成匠…婴，神通再强，也有限度，无论如何，也逃不出自己掌心的。
Though somewhat unexpected, he did not let it bother him. The opponent was just one individual who had only recently formed an infant spirit… and even if his abilities were formidable, there would still be limits. No matter what, Lin Xuan believed he could control the situation.
lán jiāo de zuǐ jiǎo lù chū jī cháo de xiào róng ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， fǎ jué bù tíng biàn huàn ， yī gǔ kě pà de yāo qì yǐ tā wèi zhōng xīn shì fàng le chū lái 。
蓝蛟的嘴角露出讥嘲的笑容，伸出手来，法诀不停变幻，一股可怕的妖气以他为中心释放了出来。
The corner of Blue Serpent's mouth curled into a mocking smile as he stretched out his hand, constantly changing his hand seals. A terrifying aura emanated from him like a hurricane, with a howling sound. Blue Serpent suddenly shot up several feet, his eyes bulging and looking fearsome, his nails turning dark black, indicating the presence of剧毒.
nà yāo qì měng liè wú bǐ ， jìng rán yǒu rú jù fēng yì bān ， wū wū de guài xiǎng shēng zhōng ， lán jiāo de shēn xíng měng rán bá gāo le shù chǐ ， yǎn jīng wài tū ， kàn shàng qù zhēng níng kě bù ， zhǐ jiǎ yě biàn chéng le mò hēi zhī sè ， yī kàn jiù yùn yǒu jù dú 。
那妖气猛烈无比，竟然有如飓风一般，呜呜的怪响声中，蓝蛟的身形猛然拔高了数尺，眼睛外凸，看上去狰狞可怖，指甲也变成了墨黑之色，一看就蕴有剧毒。
Seeing their companion's actions, the old monster beast in gray robes was not about to stand idly by. A fierce light flashed in his eyes as he spat out a red blood ball from his mouth.
jiàn le tóng bàn de dòng zuò ， huī páo lǎo guài zì rán yě bú huì zài yī páng shǎ shǎ de zhàn zhe ， yǎn zhōng lì máng yī shǎn zhī hòu ， jiù cóng zuǐ zhōng pēn chū le yī lì xiān hóng de xuè qiú 。
见了同伴的动作，灰袍老怪自然也不会在一旁傻傻的站着，眼中厉芒一闪之后，就从嘴中喷出了一粒鲜红的血球。
A hand seal was cast, and the blood ball expanded into a grotesque ghost head.
yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， xuè qiú bào zhǎng ， biàn chéng le yí miàn mù zhēng níng de guǐ tóu 。
一道法诀打出，血球爆涨，变成了一面目狰狞的鬼头。
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes, a hint of doubt flashing across his gaze. Was this an odd treasure or some secret technique that he could not recognize?
lín xuān mī le mī yǎn ， yǎn dǐ shēn chū shǎn guò yī sī yí huò ， zhè dōng xī jiū jìng shì gǔ guài fǎ bǎo hái shì shén me mì shù ， zì jǐ jìng rán biàn shí bù chū 。
林轩眯了眯眼，眼底深出闪过一丝疑惑，这东西究竟是古怪法宝还是什么秘术，自己竟然辨识不出。
Though confident in his abilities, Lin Xuan knew these transformed period monsters were no small threat. His expression darkened as he moved to attack first without any visible action.
suī rán duì zì jǐ de shén tōng xìn xīn shí zú ， dàn liǎng míng huà xíng qī yāo zú yě fēi tóng xiǎo xiǎo kě ， lín xuān liǎn sè yī chén ， yǐ qiǎng xiān dòng shǒu le 。
虽然对自己的神通信心十足，但两名化形期妖族也非同小小可，林轩脸色一沉，已抢先动手了。
The Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring began to tremble rapidly, emitting a startling spiritual light. Dozens of crescent-shaped light blades shot out with the sound of breaking air towards the monstrous serpentine head.
yě bú jiàn tā yǒu hé dòng zuò ， jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán jiù kāi shǐ le jí sù chàn dǒu ， jīng rén de líng guāng cóng shàng miàn bó fā ér chū ， shù shí dào yuè yá xíng de guāng rèn jiā zá zhe pò kōng zhī shēng ， jī shè xiàng qián miàn de jiāo shǒu guài wù 。
也不见他有何动作，九天明月环就开始了急速颤抖，惊人的灵光从上面勃发而出，数十道月牙形的光刃夹杂着破空之声，激射像前面的蛟首怪物。
Blue Serpent showed no fear on his face. With a loud roar, he began to move his arms quickly. This was not strange; transformed period monsters could also command treasures but often enhanced their own bodies to become stronger.
lán suō jiàn le ， liǎn shàng háo wú wèi jù zhī sè ， yī shēng dà hǒu ， shuāng bì kāi shǐ jí sù wǔ dòng ， zhè yě méi shén me hào qí guài de ， huà xíng qī yāo shòu ， suī rán yě tóng yàng kě yǐ qū shǐ fǎ bǎo ， dàn yě yǒu bù shǎo ， shì jiāng běn shēn de yāo tǐ liàn huà dé gèng qiáng 。
蓝唆见了，脸上毫无畏惧之色，一声大吼，双臂开始急速舞动，这也没什么好奇怪的，化形期妖兽，虽然也同样可以驱使法宝，但也有不少，是将本身的妖体炼化得更强。
His arms were covered in scales, making them difficult to injure with those light blades.
tā de shuāng bì zhī shàng ， bù mǎn le lín piàn ， dāo yǒu nán shāng 。
他的双臂之上，布满了鳞片，刀友难伤。
The light blades arrived instantly.
nà xiē guāng rèn zhuǎn shùn jí dào
那些光刃转瞬即到
With a crackling sound, Blue Serpent let out a painful roar as blood splattered into the air. The aura around him surged as he moved aside.
bàn suí zhe lá la shēng xiǎng ， lán jiāo fā chū tòng kǔ de dà jiào ， kōng qì zhī zhōng ， bèng shè chū yī piàn xuè wù ， suí hòu yāo qì kuáng zhǎng ， lán jiāo nuó yí dào le yī páng 。
伴随着剌啦声响，蓝蛟发出痛苦的大叫，空气之中，迸射出一片血雾，随后妖气狂涨，蓝蛟挪移到了一旁。
His appearance was very disheveled, his arms covered in fine cuts, and his eyes filled with disbelief. He had fought against an infant spirit cultivator before, but their treasure could not harm his arm. But now…
tā de xíng xiàng láng bèi fēi cháng ， shuāng bì zhī shàng ， bù mǎn le xì mì de shāng kǒu ， xiān xuè qī lí ， ér yǎn zhōng gèng chōng mǎn le bù xìn zhī yì ， tā yǐ qián yě hé yuán yīng qī xiū shì jiāo guò shǒu ， duì fāng de fǎ bǎo gēn běn jiù shāng bù liǎo zì jǐ de shǒu bì ， kě yǎn qián …
他的形象狼狈非常，双臂之上，布满了细密的伤口，鲜血漆漓，而眼中更充满了不信之意，他以前也和元婴期修士交过手，对方的法宝根本就伤不了自己的手臂，可眼前…
Had something gone wrong? The opponent had just successfully formed an infant spirit.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， duì fāng míng míng cái gāng gāng jié yīng chéng gōng de 。
有没有搞错，对方明明才刚刚结婴成功的。
Lin Xuan did not give him time to ponder. Reaching up, he pointed at the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring, forming more light blades, nearly ten times as many as before. Blue Serpent's face showed shock.
lín xuān kě bù huì gěi tā shí jiān màn màn sī suǒ ， shēn shǒu xiàng tóu dǐng de jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán diǎn chū ， gèng duō de guāng rèn chéng xíng le ， shù liàng jī hū yǒu gāng cái de shí bèi zhī duō ， lán jiāo de liǎn shàng lù chū hài rán zhī sè 。
林轩可不会给他时间慢慢思索，伸手向头顶的九天明月环点出，更多的光刃成型了，数量几乎有刚才的十倍之多，蓝蛟的脸上露出骇然之色。
The old monster in gray robes was equally surprised. Though Lin Xuan had only tested his abilities lightly, it was clear that he was no ordinary cultivator. His initial contempt had vanished.
huī páo lǎo guài sī yàng chī jīng fēi xiǎo ， suī rán lín xuān jǐn jǐn shì xiǎo shì niú dāo ， dàn yě kàn chū duì fāng bù tóng fán xiǎng ， xīn zhōng de xiē xǔ qīng shì zhī yì zǎo jiù dàng rán wú cún diào 。
灰袍老怪司样吃惊非小，虽然林轩仅仅是小试牛刀，但也看出对方不同凡响，心中的些许轻视之意早就荡然无存掉。
Pointing with a hand, the ghost head roared and opened its mouth to spew out a red demonic flame…
shēn zhǐ diǎn chū ， nà guǐ tóu yī shēng dà hǒu ， zhāng kāi kǒu ， yī dào xiān hóng de mó yán pēn tǔ ér chū ”……
伸指点出，那鬼头一声大吼，张开口，一道鲜红的魔炎喷吐而出”……
But Lin Xuan remained calm. He flickered in place and suddenly disappeared from sight.
lín xuān què bù huāng bù máng ， tā de shēn xíng yī zhèn piāo hū ， jìng rán cóng yuán dì xiāo shī le 。
林轩却不慌不忙，他的身形一阵飘忽，竟然从原地消失了。
The old monster in gray robes's pupils constricted. Instant transmission?
huī páo lǎo zhě bù yóu de tóng kǒng yī suō ， shùn yí shù ？
灰袍老者不由得瞳孔一缩，瞬移术？
No… not quite.
bù … bú duì 。
不…不对。
He quickly released his divine sense to search but found Lin Xuan had appeared three feet to the left.
tā máng fàng chū shén shí sōu suǒ ， què fā xiàn lín xuān chū xiàn zài le zuǒ cè sān quǎn zhī chù 。
他忙放出神识搜索，却发现林轩出现在了左侧三犬之处。
Nine Heavens Microsteps!
jiǔ tiān wēi bù ！
九天微步！
This was a very mysterious secret technique recorded in the Nine Heavens Profound Art, which required an infant spirit stage to practice. After forming his second infant spirit, Lin Xuan had tried it before but failed due to insufficient power. However, he now possessed the exact techniques and could easily perform it as an expert with dual infant spirits.
cǐ nǎi jiǔ tiān xuán gōng zhōng suǒ jì zǎi de yī zhǒng fēi cháng xuán ào de mì shù 、… xīn xū yào yuán yīng qī cái néng xiū xí ， lín xuān mí yīng huà chéng yǐ hòu ， jiù céng jīng shì zhe liàn guò ， kě xī què yǐ shī bài ér gào zhōng 。
此乃九天玄功中所记载的一种非常玄奥的秘术、…芯须要元婴期才能修习，林轩靡婴化成以后，就曾经试着练过，可惜却已失败而告终。
According to ancient texts, these Nine Heavens Microsteps had their own advantages over instant transmission, offering more complex evasive maneuvers. With this technique, even facing several same-stage cultivators in a siege, one could handle them effortlessly or at least defend themselves effectively.
nà shì yóu yú fǎ lì bù jì ， dàn jù tǐ de jué qiào lín xuān zǎo yǐ zhǎng wò ， rú jīn yuán yīng jié chéng ， tā zuò wéi tóng shí yōng yǒu ， shuāng yīng ， de gāo shǒu ， shī zhǎn qǐ lái zì rán shì qīng ér yì jǔ le 。
那是由于法力不济，但具体的诀窍林轩早已掌握，如今元婴结成，他作为同时拥有，双婴，的高手，施展起来自然是轻而易举了。
Lin Xuan's first attempt was indeed beyond comprehension.
jù diǎn jí shàng suǒ shuō ， zhè jiǔ tiān wēi bù yǔ shùn yí gè yǒu qiān qiū ， sù dù shàng yǒu suǒ bù jí ， dàn duǒ shǎn de guǐ jì zé yào xuán ào dé duō ， xiū xí yǐ hòu ， píng jiè zhe cǐ gōng fǎ ， jí shǐ miàn duì jǐ míng tóng jiē xiū shì de wéi gōng ， yě néng yóu rèn yǒu yú ， jiù suàn bù néng qǔ shèng ， zì bǎo yě méi yǒu wèn tí 。
据典籍上所说，这九天微步与瞬移各有千秋，速度上有所不及，但躲闪的轨迹则要玄奥得多，修习以后，凭借着此功法，即使面对几名同阶修士的围攻，也能游刃有余，就算不能取胜，自保也没有问题。
He nodded with satisfaction as he vanished again without a trace.
lín xuān dì yī cì shī zhǎn ， guǒ rán xuán miào wú bǐ 。
林轩第一次施展，果然玄妙无比。
The old monster in gray robes felt his heart sink and quickly took out a dragon-sized gem from his pocket. He raised it high above his head, casting a faint red light shield around himself.
tā diǎn le diǎn tóu ， biǎo qíng pǒ wèi mǎn yì 。
他点了点头，表情颇为满意。
Then he relaxed and began to retrieve other treasures.
jiǔ tiān xuán gōng fēn wéi shàng zhōng xià sān piān ， qián miàn jī hū dōu shì zài dǎ jī chǔ ， yě zhǐ yǒu jìn bā yá ， yīng qī yǐ hòu ， cái néng zhēn zhèng zhǎn shì chū pāo de bù sī ， fā huī chū jīng rén de wēi lì lái le 。
九天玄功分为上中下三篇，前面几乎都是在打基础，也只有进八牙，婴期以后，才能真正展示出抛的不司，发挥出惊人的威力来了。
But it was too late. Lin Xuan had already appeared behind him. Opening his mouth, a blue sword beam shot out.
kàn zhe liǎng gè lǎo guài wù liǎn shàng suǒ lù chū de jīng è zhī sè ， lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī fěng de xiào róng ， shuāng jiǎo zhè me qīng qīng yī dòng ， yòu zài cì cóng yuán dì xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
看着两个老怪物脸上所露出的惊愕之色，林轩嘴角边露出一丝讥讽的笑容，双脚这么轻轻一动，又再次从原地消失得无影无踪。
Initially thin, the beam grew wildly as it left his mouth, flashing with spiritual light before slashing at the old monster's head.
huī páo lǎo zhě yǒu xiē xīn hán ， àn jiào yī shēng bù hǎo zhī hòu ， cóng huái zhōng qǔ chū le yī kē lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de bǎo zhū ， gāo gāo jǔ guò tóu dǐng ， cóng nà bǎo zhū shàng miàn ， fàng chū yī céng dàn hóng sè de guāng mù ， jiāng tā quán shēn hù zhù 。
灰袍老者有些心寒，暗叫一声不好之后，从怀中取出了一颗龙眼大小的宝珠，高高举过头顶，从那宝珠上面，放出一层淡红色的光幕，将他全身护住。
However, it was blocked by that faint red light shield.
rán hòu zhè lǎo guài wù cái shén sè yī sōng ， yòu qù qǔ qí tā de bǎo wù 。
然后这老怪物才神色一松，又去取其他的宝物。
This protective layer looked thin but was incredibly sturdy.
kě wéi shí wǎn le ， lín xuān yǐ lái dào le qí bèi hòu ， zhāng kāi kǒu ， yī lǚ lán sè de jiàn máng pēn tǔ ér chū 。
可为时晚了，林轩已来到了其背后，张开口，一缕蓝色的剑芒喷吐而出。
Lin Xuan's accumulated aura proved futile. The opponent was indeed a transformed period monster, but he reacted quickly. Seeing the first attack failed, Lin Xuan immediately extended his left hand, and a green flame the size of an egg appeared in his palm.
yuán běn jǐn yǒu xì xì de yī gǔ ， kě lí zuǐ yǐ hòu ， què fēng kuáng de zhǎng dà le ， líng guāng shǎn shuò ， hěn hěn de zhǎn xiàng le lǎo zhě de tóu lú 。
原本仅有细细的一股，可离嘴以后，却疯狂的涨大了，灵光闪烁，狠狠的斩向了老者的头颅。
Shaking his hand, the flame rapidly expanded before falling like a meteor to land heavily in front of the old monster.
rán ér què bèi nà céng dàn hóng sè de guāng mù dǎng zhù 。
然而却被那层淡红色的光幕挡住。
"Pop," the shield was ignited with a light sound. The old monster's face showed shock. What kind of demonic flames were these?
zhè céng bǎo hù mó kàn qǐ lái hěn báo ， kě què jiān rèn dào le jí chù 。
这层保护膜看起来很薄，可却坚韧到了极处。
He had cast a protective barrier that could easily block even top-tier treasures, but now it was being slowly corroded away.
lín xuān kǔ xiū de yǒu qì jū rán tú láo wú gōng ， duì fāng bì jìng shì huà xíng qī yāo zú ， bù guò tā de fǎn yìng yě hěn xùn sù ， jiàn dì yī bō gōng jī méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， lín xuān mǎ shàng jiāng zuǒ shǒu shēn chū ， yī méi jī dàn dà xiǎo de bì lǜ sè huǒ yàn zài zhǎng xīn zhōng fú xiàn le 。
林轩苦修的友气居然徒劳无功，对方毕竟是化形期妖族，不过他的反应也很迅速，见第一波攻击没有效果，林轩马上将左手伸出，一枚鸡蛋大小的碧绿色火焰在掌心中浮现了。
The old monster's expression stiffened as a determined look flashed in his eyes. He pounded his chest and let out a low roar.
shǒu yī dǒu ， nà huǒ yàn mǎ shàng bào zhǎng qǐ lái ， rán hòu rú sī liú xīng zhuì dì yì bān ， hěn hěn de zá dào le lǎo zhě de miàn qián 。
手一抖，那火焰马上暴涨起来，然后如司流星坠地一般，狠狠的砸到了老者的面前。
Crackling sounds echoed as his clothes tore apart, his body rapidly inflating. His sharp horns grew longer and thicker, and a thick gray shell covered his body. Lying on the ground, he transformed into an ugly monster.
“ bō ， de yī shēng qīng xiǎng ， nà hù zhào yǐ bèi yǐn rán ， huī páo lǎo zhě de liǎn shàng mǎn shì jīng hài ， zhè shì shén me mó yán ？
“啵，的一声轻响，那护罩已被引燃，灰袍老者的脸上满是惊骇，这是什么魔炎？
"What kind of creature is this?"
yào zhī dào ， tā suǒ jì chū de hù zhào ， néng gòu qīng ér yì jǔ de dǎng zhù zuì dǐng jiān de fǎ bǎo ， kě xiàn zài jìng rán bèi zhú jiàn fǔ shí diào
要知道，他所祭出的护罩，能够轻而易举的挡住最顶尖的法宝，可现在竟然被逐渐腐蚀掉
Lin Xuan frowned. Though well-read, there were countless types of monsters, most of which he had never seen before.
huī páo lǎo zhě biǎo qíng yī jiāng ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī jué rán ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， chuí le chuí xiōng kǒu ， tā de zuǐ zhōng yě fā chū yī shēng dī hǒu 。
灰袍老者表情一僵，眼中闪过一丝绝然，伸出手来，捶了捶胸口，他的嘴中也发出一声低吼。
The monster opened its mouth wide, spewing out large amounts of yellow sand that quickly filled several miles of sky, creating a shadowy appearance.
pī lǐ pā lā de gǔ suǐ bào xiǎng shēng zhōng ， tā de yī fú měng de bèi zhēng pò ， shēn qū yī xià zi kuáng zhǎng qǐ lái le ， tóu shàng de jiān jiǎo biàn zhǎng biàn cū ， shēn tǐ biǎo miàn chū xiàn le yī céng hòu hòu de huī zhì yìng ké ， sì zhī zhe dì ， zhè jiā huo xiàn chū yuán xíng ， biàn huà chéng le yī tóu chǒu lòu de yāo shòu 。
噼里啪啦的骨髓爆响声中，他的衣服猛的被挣破，身躯一下子狂涨起来了，头上的尖角变长变粗，身体表面出现了一层厚厚的灰质硬壳，四肢着地，这家伙现出原形，变化成了一头丑陋的妖兽。
It seemed the monster wanted to use the sand to extinguish the flames. Lin Xuan's expression remained indifferent as the monster roared, and the sand凝聚成一条黄龙，狠狠地咬向碧幻幽火。
The opponent's hostility was already evident. Lin Xuan frowned slightly but showed no fear, just the right moment to test his abilities after forming an infant spirit.
With a wave of his sleeve, two small silver rings shot out, their light flashing and spinning above his head.
Two old monster beasts were taken aback, their faces full of surprise as they exchanged glances. Could it be that this place no longer rejected the Five Elements treasures?
