yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī mǒ lì sè 。
眼中闪过一抹厉色。
A flash of fierce color appeared in his eyes.
guài wù dī xià tou ， téng yún jià wù de chōng guò lái le ； tā jiāng duì fāng niǎn wèi fěn mò …… rán ér lín xuān què zhēng kāi le shuāng móu ， shuāng shǒu jí sù wǔ dòng ， yī qiā jué ， bì huàn yōu huǒ zài cì fú xiàn ér chū 。
怪物低下头，腾云驾雾的冲过来了；他将对方碾为粉末……然而林轩却睁开了双眸，双手急速舞动，一掐诀，碧幻幽火再次浮现而出。
The monster lowered its head and rushed forward, soaring through the clouds. He would crush it into powder… but Lin Xuan opened his eyes wide, hands moving rapidly as he formed a hand seal. The green illusory fire reappeared.
bàn suí zhe fù zá nán míng de zhòu yǔ ， huà wèi le yī tiáo huǒ shé 。
伴随着复杂难明的咒语，化为了一条火蛇。
Accompanied by complex incantations, it transformed into a fiery snake.
bù kě néng ! huī páo lǎo zhě suǒ huà de guài wù dùn shí dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， duì fāng de yuán yīng míng míng yǐ rán lí fèng ， wèi hé hái néng xíng dòng zì rú ？ mò fēi …… tā xiū liàn yǒu dì èr yuán yīng de jīng rén shén tōng ？ yě zhǐ yǒu rú cǐ ， cái néng jiě shì ， yí gè de gāng níng jié yuán yīng de xiū shì ， wèi jiǎo 1 lì hài cǐ 。
不可能!灰袍老者所化的怪物顿时瞪大了眼珠，对方的元婴明明已然离俸，为何还能行动自如？莫非……他修炼有第二元婴的惊人神通？也只有如此，才能解释，一个的刚凝结元婴的修士，为角1厉害此。
Impossible! The gray-robed elder's monster suddenly widened its eyes in shock. How could the opponent's元婴 still be able to move freely even though it had left the body? Could… he have cultivated a second元婴 with astonishing abilities? Only then could one explain how an infant-stage cultivator was so formidable.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， guài wù xīn zhōng dà jù ， máng zhāng zuǐ pēn chū yī kǒu mò lǜ sè de yāo qì ， yǔ bì huàn yōu huǒ zhuàng zài le yì qǐ ， rán ér què qīng yì bèi tūn shì 。
想到这里，怪物心中大惧，忙张嘴喷出一口墨绿色的妖气，与碧幻幽火撞在了一起，然而却轻易被吞噬。
The thought filled the monster with dread, and it quickly spat out a mouthful of dark green demonic energy, colliding with the green illusory fire. However, it was easily devoured.
guài wù dǎn hán le ， zhè mó yán de wēi lì yě wèi miǎn tài guò kǒng bù ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， gǔ yě méi yǒu shí jiān duō zuò sī suǒ ， zuǐ zhōng fā chū yī shēng dī chén de hǒu jiào ， é shàng de dú jiǎo huà wèi yī dào lì máng ， fēi shè ér chū 。
怪物胆寒了，这魔炎的威力也未免太过恐怖，但此时此刻，牯也没有时间多做思索，嘴中发出一声低沉的吼叫，额上的独角化为一道厉芒，飞射而出。
The monster shuddered; the power of this demon flame was terrifying. But there was no time to think as he let out a low growl, his single horn transforming into a sharp beam and shooting forward.
zhè lǎo guài wù de běn tǐ suī rán bìng fēi shén me tiān dì líng shòu ， dàn yě jù yǒu yī xiē mán huāng yì zhǒng de xuè tǒng cǐ jiǎo tā yǐ péi liàn liǎo wú shù suì yuè ， wēi lì fēi tóng fán xiǎng 。
这老怪物的本体虽然并非什么天地灵兽，但也具有一些蛮荒异种的血统此角他已培炼了无数岁月，威力非同凡响。
Although the old monster's true form wasn't a celestial spirit beast, it still possessed some bloodline from primitive monsters. He had refined this horn for countless years, making its power formidable.
mì jí de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jū rán yǔ bì huàn yōu huǒ dòu le gè bù fēn shèng fù 。
密集的爆裂声传入耳朵，居然与碧幻幽火斗了个不分胜负。
The dense explosions filled Lin Xuan’s ears as they fought to a standstill with the green illusory fire.
lín xuān lüè wēi gǎn dào yǒu xiē jīng yà le ， bù guò hěn kuài yòu shén sè rú cháng ， zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī lěng xiào ， shēn shǒu zhāo le zhāo 。
林轩略微感到有些惊讶了，不过很快又神色如常，嘴角边露出一丝冷笑，伸手招了招。
Lin Xuan felt slightly surprised but quickly returned to his usual expression, a cold smile playing on his lips. He waved his hand.
jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán fēi huí dào le shēn qián 。
九天明月环飞回到了身前。
The Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring flew back before him.
hán qì màn tiān ， jǐ zhī zhàn lán sè de bīng jiāo zài xū kōng zhōng fú xiàn 。
寒气漫天，几只湛蓝色的冰蛟在虚空中浮现。
Chill air spread everywhere, several azure ice dragons appearing in mid-air.
ér lìng yī biān ， zé shì tāo tiān de huǒ yàn 。
而另一边，则是滔天的火焰。
On the other side, flames towered skyward as hundreds of fireballs, each the size of a head, spewed out from the clouds.
“ jí !” lín xuān yī shēng qīng chì ， bīng jiāo zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo ， chōng xiàng le duì fāng ， ér huǒ yún yě yī zhèn fān yǒng ， cóng lǐ miàn pēn chū le shàng bǎi kē tóu lú dà xiǎo de huǒ qiú 。
“疾!”林轩一声轻叱，冰蛟张牙舞爪，冲向了对方，而火云也一阵翻涌，从里面喷出了上百颗头颅大小的火球。
The scene was awe-inspiring.
shēng shì zì rán jīng rén wú bǐ le 。
声势自然惊人无比了。
Lin Xuan wasn't done. Although the place was remote, it still belonged to the demon beasts. If they delayed too long and more monsters came, things would get dangerous.
ér lín xuān hái bù gàn xiū ， yùn ér suī dì chǔ huāng pì ， dàn guī gēn jié dǐ ， yī jiù shì yāo shòu de lǐng dì ， rú guǒ shí jiān dān gē jiǔ le 。
而林轩还不干休，运儿虽地处荒僻，但归根结底，依旧是妖兽的领地，如果时间耽搁久了。
Lin Xuan's left hand flipped open.
zài pū lái qí tā de guài wù ， qíng kuàng kě jiù shí fēn bù miào le 。
再扑来其他的怪物，情况可就十分不妙了。
A gourd appeared in his palm. He cast a spell on it, causing its size to swell and turn bright red. Strange symbols flowed slowly within.
lín xuān zuǒ shǒu yī fān 。
林轩左手一翻。
This treasure had been with Lin Xuan for some time, but he finally revealed its full power. A beam of light as thick as an arm shot out, accompanied by flames and sparks. The monster's pupils constricted in fear, opening its mouth to spit out a fist-sized gem.
zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng dùn zǎn duō chū le yí gè hú lú lái ， lín xuān yī dào fǎ jué dǎ zài shàng miàn ， hú lú de tǐ jī dùn shí bào zhǎng qǐ lái ， biàn wèi le xiān hóng zhī sè 。
掌心之中顿昝多出了一个葫芦来，林轩一道法诀打在上面，葫芦的体积顿时暴涨起来，变为了鲜红之色。
Demon heart! Although it still retained the form of a demon beast, a human arm grew on its back, pale and soft like that of a newborn infant… yet it gave an eerie feeling.
yǐn rěn hái yǒu qí guài de fú wén huǎn huǎn liú dòng zhe 。
隐稔还有奇怪的符文缓缓流动着。
In the palm of this arm was a small flag. With a gentle shake, fierce winds blew up.
cǐ bǎo lín xuān dé dào yě yǒu hǎo jiǔ ， rán ér zhí dào cǐ kè ， cái jiāng gǔ de wēi lì zhēn zhèng fā huī cóng lǐ miàn shè chū yī dào ér bì cū de guāng zhù ， hái bàn suí zháo huǒ yàn yǔ diàn hú …… guài shòu tóng kǒng yī suō ， yǎn zhōng míng xiǎn liú lù chū le wèi jù zhī sè ， zhāng kāi kǒu 。
此宝林轩得到也有好久，然而直到此刻，才将牯的威力真正发挥从里面射出一道儿臂粗的光柱，还伴随着火焰与电弧……怪兽瞳孔一缩，眼中明显流露出了畏惧之色，张开口。
Demonic mists condensed around the monster, revealing countless old men, women, and children weeping sorrowfully… their cries were haunting, making one feel extremely uncomfortable.
pēn chū yī quán tou dà xiǎo de bǎo zhū 。
喷出一拳头大小的宝珠。
And there was something familiar…
yāo dān ! ér tā suī rán yī jiù bǎo chí zhe yāo shòu de xíng tài ， dàn bèi shàng ， què zhǎng chū le yī zhī rén lèi de gē bó ， bái bái nèn nèn ， jiù fǎng fú chū shēng yīng ér shì de …… kě kàn shàng qù ， què ràng rén mò míng de gǎn dào yǒu xiē xīn hán 。
妖丹!而他虽然依旧保持着妖兽的形态，但背上，却长出了一只人类的胳膊，白白嫩嫩，就仿佛初生婴儿似的……可看上去，却让人莫名的感到有些心寒。
"Master, didn't I see right? This treasure looks like the Soul Devouring Flag."
gē bó de shǒu zhǎng zhī zhōng ， hái chí zhe yī bǐng xiǎo fān ! qīng qīng yī yáo ， kuáng fēng dà zuò 。
胳膊的手掌之中，还持着一柄小幡!轻轻一摇，狂风大作。
The girl's voice was filled with surprise.
wú shù mó wù níng jù zài le guài wù de sì zhōu ， lǐ miàn yǐng yǐng chuò chuò ， jìng shì yǒu bù shǎo lǎo ruò fù rú ， zhèng āi āi de kū qì zhe …… nà shēng yīn gōu hún dàng pò ， tīng le ràng rén jí bù shū fú 。
无数魔雾凝聚在了怪物的四周，里面影影绰绰，竞似有不少老弱妇孺，正哀哀的哭泣着……那声音勾魂荡魄，听了让人极不舒服。
Lin Xuan nodded solemnly. He hadn’t expected a first-stage demon beast to cultivate such demonic techniques and create such an evil artifact.
è …… hái yǒu xiē yǎn shú 。
呃……还有些眼熟。
But this was just Lin Xuan’s limited knowledge. Humans were the lords of all creatures, but any lifeform could cultivate. If humans could mimic the powers of demons, why would it be strange for a first-stage demon beast to learn human spells? Although not exactly like the Soul Devouring Flag, its cultivation method shared many similarities. This old monster had massacred an ordinary town and killed hundreds of cultivators.
“ shào yé ， wǒ méi kàn cuò ba ， zhè bǎo wù ， dào yǒu jǐ fēn xiàng wàn hún fān 。”
“少爷，我没看错吧，这宝物，倒有几分像万魂幡。”
Seeing the monster pull out such a demonic artifact, Lin Xuan snorted. He shook his left hand, taking out the Beast Soul Flag. Though it was usually used by Moon Er, as both a daoist and a demon practitioner, he could still fully utilize its power.
jīng chà de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shào nǚ de yǔ qì chōng mǎn le yí huò 。
惊诧的声音传入耳朵，少女的语气充满了疑惑。
Of course, there were also human cultivators confined in the demon flag—enemies of his who had been killed and trapped within.
lín xuān shén sè níng zhòng de diǎn le diǎn tóu ， méi xiǎng dào yī huà xíng qī yāo shòu ， jū rán xiū liàn yǒu lèi sì yú mó dào de shén tōng ， hái liàn zhì le rú cǐ xié yì de bǎo wù 。
林轩神色凝重的点了点头，没想到一化形期妖兽，居然修炼有类似于魔道的神通，还炼制了如此邪意的宝物。
The monster shuddered with fear; not only did he have two元婴s but was also a daoist and a demon practitioner. This time, he had truly stirred up trouble.
dàn zhè zhǐ shì lín xuān gū lòu guǎ wén bà le 。
但这只是林轩孤陋寡闻罢了。
With a low growl, the monster's demonic元婴 shook, releasing hundreds of ghostly souls, hair disheveled as they charged at Lin Xuan.
rén lèi suī shì wàn líng zhī zhǎng ， dàn shì jiān shēng wù jiē kě xiū xiān ， rén lèi jì rán kě yǐ mó fǎng yāo zú de shén tōng ， nà huà huō qī de yāo shòu tōu xué rén lèi de fǎ shù yě méi yǒu shén me hào qí guài de …… cǐ bǎo suī rán mù fēi wàn hún fān ， dàn jì liàn zhī fǎ yě yǒu hěn duō xiāng sì zhī chù ， wèi le tā ， zhè lǎo guài wù céng jiāng yī fán rén xiǎo zhèn tú lù ， miè shā de xiū shì yě yǒu shù bǎi zhī duō 。
人类虽是万灵之长，但世间生物皆可修仙，人类既然可以模仿妖族的神通，那化耠期的妖兽偷学人类的法术也没有什么好奇怪的……此宝虽然幕非万魂幡，但祭炼之法也有很多相似之处，为了他，这老怪物曾将一凡人小镇屠戮，灭杀的修士也有数百之多。
Lin Xuan frowned. The beast soul did not back down either, roaring to meet the attack.
kàn dào duì fāng ná chū zhè zhǒng mó tōng bǎo wù ， lín xuān hēng shǒu yī shēng ， zuǒ shǒu huàng dòng ， jiāng shòu hún fān qǔ chū suī shuō cǐ bǎo yì zhí shì yóu yuè ér jì liàn shǐ yòng ， dàn lín xuān zhèng mó jiān xiū ， tóng yàng néng gòu fā huī chū shí chéng de shén tōng 。
看到对方拿出这种魔通宝物，林轩哼手一声，左手晃动，将兽魂幡取出虽说此宝一直是由月儿祭炼使用，但林轩正魔兼修，同样能够发挥出十成的神通。
As for the ice dragons and fireballs, they were held off by the demon heart’s strange abilities, creating a standoff…
dāng rán ， ǒu ěr yě yǒu rén lèi xiū shì ， nà xiē dōu shì - lín xuān de dí rén ， bèi tā miè shā yǐ hòu jū jìn zài le mó fān zhī zhōng 。
当然，偶尔也有人类修士，那些都是-林轩的敌人，被他灭杀以后拘禁在了魔幡之中。
"Looks like this guy's powers are even stronger than that blue dragon."
guài wù bù yóu de yī zhèn xīn hán ， duì fāng bù jǐn yǒu shuāng yuán yīng ， ér qiě zhèng mó jiān xiū ， zhè yī huí zì jǐ kě zhēn shì tǒng le mǎ fēng wō 。
怪物不由得一阵心寒，对方不仅有双元婴，而且正魔兼修，这一回自己可真是捅了马蜂窝。
Lin Xuan muttered under his breath as he turned his wrist. Just as he was about to take out another treasure, he saw the monster turn into a streak of light and dash toward the distant sky.
xīn zhōng jīng pà ， guài wù hóu lóng lǐ fā chū yī shēng dī hǒu ， mó yīng huàng dòng ， chéng bǎi shàng qiān de yīn hún fēi lüè ér chū ， pī tóu sàn fà 。
心中惊怕，怪物喉咙里发出一声低吼，魔婴晃动，成百上千的阴魂飞掠而出，披头散发。
No way! Lin Xuan froze in shock. This creature had expelled its demon heart and even abandoned its magic flag and horn—very important treasures. He couldn’t believe it would discard them all.
zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo de xiàng zhe lín xuān chōng shā 。
张牙舞爪的向着林轩冲杀。
While other items were unimportant, for a demon beast, losing its demon heart was catastrophic; its cultivation level would plummet by more than half, possibly dropping an entire stage. Such consequences were far worse than the destruction of an infant-stage cultivator’s body. Lin Xuan was both shocked and impressed with this old monster.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu 。
林轩眉头一皱。
But this hesitation allowed him to lose over a thousand feet in distance. The speed suggested he had used some secret technique; even if Lin Xuan knew Nine Heaven Microstep, catching up would be no easy feat.
yáng chū ， shòu hún yě bù shì ruò 。
扬出，兽魂也不示弱。
After a moment's hesitation, Lin Xuan decided to give up.
páo xiāo zhe yíng shàng qù le 。
咆哮着迎上去了。
Of course, it wasn’t out of compassion but due to practical considerations. Although the monster appeared more powerful now, having killed a first-stage demon beast and chased another away in retreat, he was still unstable after his recent promotion. The white infant’s face showed signs of pain; continuing would risk entering a dangerous state.
zhì yú bīng jiāo yǔ bīng dīng qiú 。
至于冰蛟与兵丁球。
Lin Xuan wouldn’t take such risks. Killing that fleeing demon beast wouldn't benefit him much anyway. With the loss of its demon heart, its cultivation level had surely dropped significantly. Whether it could hold its own against a first-stage cultivator was uncertain and posed no threat to Lin Xuan.
zé bèi yāo dān fàng chū gǔ guài shén tōng dí zhù ， yī shí zhī jiān ， dào chéng xiāng zhì zhī shì le ……“ kàn bù chū zhè jiā huo 。
则被妖丹放出古怪神通敌住，一时之间，道呈相峙之势了……“看不出这家伙。
With this in mind, he decided to stop.
shén tōng jū rán hái zài nà lán jiāo zhī shàng 。”
神通居然还在那蓝蛟之上。”
The old monster, however, didn’t think as much. Terrified, it continued to flee. Without the master’s control, the demon heart, horn, and magic flag all showed signs of weakness. Despite some discomfort, Lin Xuan still had the power to collect these unowned treasures. He cast several spells to do so.
A flash of fierce color appeared in his eyes.
The monster lowered its head and rushed forward, soaring through the clouds. He would crush it into powder… but Lin Xuan opened his eyes wide, hands moving rapidly as he formed a hand seal. The green illusory fire reappeared.
Accompanied by complex incantations, it transformed into a fiery snake.
