“ hēng ！” sēng rén de zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī fěng ， tái qǐ zuǒ shǒu ， rú nóng mò bān de mó qì kuáng yǒng ér chū ， mó qì zhī zhōng ， yǐn yǐn hái yǒu wū guāng shǎn dòng ， tái yǎn wàng qù ， jū rán shì yí gè yí gè quán tou dà xiǎo de hēi sè fú wén ， liú zhuǎn bù jǐ ， kàn shàng qù fēi cháng shén mì 。
“哼！”僧人的嘴角边露出一丝讥讽，抬起左手，如浓墨般的魔气狂涌而出，魔气之中，隐隐还有乌光闪动，抬眼望去，居然是一个一个拳头大小的黑色符文，流转不己，看上去非常神秘。
"Hmph!" The monk's lips curled into a sneer. He raised his left hand, and dark magic energy surged out like ink. Within the magic energy, faint black light flickered. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be several black talisman symbols, each about the size of a fist, swirling continuously with an air of mystery.
hēi liǎn dà hàn liǎn qīng chún bái ， xīn tóu jìng yǒu yī gǔ mò míng de jīng sǒng chuán lái 。
黑脸大汉脸青唇白，心头竟有一股莫名的惊悚传来。
The big man with a black face paled as he felt an inexplicable sense of dread.
zhè jiā huo jiū jìng shì shén me guài wù ， shuō shì yāo mó ， wèi hé yòu huì xuán fèng mén de dú mén mì shù ， ruò bú shì yāo mó ， zěn me yòu huì bèi jìn tóng yú cǐ ？
这家伙究竟是什么怪物，说是妖魔，为何又会玄凤门的独门秘术，若不是妖魔，怎么又会被禁铜于此？
What kind of monster is this guy? If he's a demon or fiend, why does he know the exclusive secret technique of Xuanfeng Sect? If he isn't a demon, how did he end up trapped here?
xuán tiān sì líng zhèn jǐ bèi huǐ qù ， mò fēi yě yǔ tā yǒu shén me guān xì ？
玄天四灵阵己被毁去，莫非也与他有什么关系？
The Heavenly Four-Spirit Array had been destroyed. Could it be that he was involved in some way?
zǒng zhī zhè jiā huo jué bù néng lì dí ！
总之这家伙绝不能力敌！
In any case, this guy couldn't be fought head-on!
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， hēi liǎn dà hàn de xīn zhōng jǐ méng shēng tuì yì 。
念及至此，黑脸大汉的心中己萌生退意。
With these thoughts, the big man's heart harbored an intention to retreat.
bì jìng hǔ guài wù de xià chǎng bǎi zài nà lǐ ， bǎo wù suī rán lìng rén dòng xīn ， dàn yě dé yǒu mìng xiǎng yòng cái xíng 。
毕竟虎怪物的下场摆在那里，宝物虽然令人动心，但也得有命享用才行。
After all, the fate of a tiger monster lay before his eyes. Although treasures were tempting, one must live long enough to enjoy them.
yǎn zhōng jīng máng shǎn shuò ， zhè jiā huo yòu jì qǐ le yī jiàn bǎo wù ， shì jǐ kē lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de dàn zhū ， dī liū liū xuán zhuǎn zhe jū rán huà wèi le jǐ tóu fēng lóng ， zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo de pū xiàng le nà guǐ yì de yāo mó 。
眼中精芒闪烁，这家伙又祭起了一件宝物，是几颗龙眼大小的弹珠，滴溜溜旋转着居然化为了几头风龙，张牙舞爪的扑向了那诡异的妖魔。
His eyes flashed with determination as he summoned another treasure. Several round talismans about the size of dragon eyes began spinning and transformed into several wind dragons, which pounced on the strange demon.
tóng shí tā zì jǐ zé huà wèi yī dào dùn guāng ， xiàng hòu jī shè 。
同时他自己则化为一道遁光，向后激射。
Meanwhile, he turned into a streak of light and retreated backward.
yī zhèn guài xiào shēng què chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
一阵怪笑声却传入耳朵。
A strange laugh echoed in his ears.
“ lüè kā ， xiǎng pǎo ， tài tiān zhēn le ， běn zūn bèi kùn zài zhè jù gǔ mó de qū tǐ zhī zhōng ， jǐ yǒu shí wàn nián le ， hǎo bù róng yì cái děng lái jì pǐn féi yáng ， qǐ huì róng nǐ pǎo diào ， shí xiàng de ， guāi guāi ràng běn zūn tūn shì diào ！” nà shēng yīn shā yǎ nán tīng ， fǎng fú jīn tiě jiāo míng ， hēi liǎn dà hàn de xīn zhōng ， yě yuè jīng jù 。
“略咖，想跑，太天真了，本尊被困在这具古魔的躯体之中，己有十万年了，好不容易才等来祭品肥羊，岂会容你跑掉，识相的，乖乖让本尊吞噬掉！”那声音沙哑难听，仿佛金铁交鸣，黑脸大汉的心中，也越惊惧。
"Ha-ha! Trying to run? Too naive. This Sovereign is trapped in this ancient fiend's body for ten thousand years now. I finally got a fat lamb as an offering; how could I let you escape? Be wise, and submit to my consumption!" The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like the clash of metal. The big man's heart grew even more fearful.
shí wàn nián qián ？
十万年前？
Ten thousand years ago?
jù bái hè shàng rén shǒu shū ， nà chǎng hào jié bú shì bǎi wàn nián qián de shì me ， nán dào zhè jiā huo bú shì jiā luó gǔ mó ？
据白鹤上人手书，那场浩劫不是百万年前的事么，难道这家伙不是迦罗古魔？
According to White Crane Elder's writings, wasn't that great calamity a million years ago? Could this guy not be Kala Ancient Fiend?
kě xī tā méi yǒu tài duō de shí jiān sī suǒ ， mó qì yǒng dòng ， cóng nà piàn nóng mò bān de hēi wù zhī zhōng ， biāo rán yǒu jǐ dào zhǎo yǐng fēi lüè ér chū 。
可惜他没有太多的时间思索，魔气涌动，从那片浓墨般的黑雾之中，飙然有几道爪影飞掠而出。
Unfortunately, he didn't have much time to ponder. Magic energy surged from the dark black fog, and several claw shadows shot out suddenly.
yī shǎn ， jiù cóng yuán dì xiāo shī bú jiàn ， rán hòu guǐ mèi bān de chū guān zài le tā de miàn qián ， hēi liǎn dà hàn biǎo qíng kuáng biàn ， xiǎng yě bù xiǎng de zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， jiāng yí miàn kān hēi de tiě dùn jì le qǐ lái 。
一闪，就从原地消失不见，然后鬼魅般的出观在了他的面前，黑脸大汉表情狂变，想也不想的在储物袋上一拍，将一面勘黑的铁盾祭了起来。
In an instant, they vanished from their original positions before appearing right in front of him. The big man's expression changed dramatically as he tapped his storage bag without hesitation, summoning a black iron shield.
nà dùn xíng zhuàng qí tè ， cóng wài biǎo shàng kàn ， jìng rán yǒu jǐ fēn xiàng wū guī ké 。
那盾形状奇特，从外表上看，竟然有几分像乌龟壳。
The shield was peculiarly shaped, resembling a turtle shell from the outside.
tóng shí tā fǎ jué yī cuī ， gǔ rèn yǔ fēng lóng de qù shì yuè jìn jí ， hěn hěn de xiàng zhe duì shǒu pī qù 。
同时他法诀一催，骨刃与风龙的去势越劲急，狠狠的向着对手劈去。
Simultaneously, he cast a spell, and the bone blades and wind dragons' attacks grew more intense, slashing fiercely at their opponent.
kě nà hēi yī sēng rén què guān ruò wú dǔ ， shēn shàng de mó qì kuáng yǒng ér chū ， zhù rù nà hóng sè de hù zhào zhī zhōng 。
可那黑衣僧人却观若无睹，身上的魔气狂涌而出，注入那红色的护罩之中。
However, the black-robed monk seemed to ignore them. Magic energy surged out of his body and poured into the red shield.
míng míng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， hù zhào biàn chéng le zǐ hēi zhī sè 。
鸣鸣的声音传入耳朵，护罩变成了紫黑之色。
A whistling sound filled his ears as the shield turned purple-black.
cī lā ， gǔ dāo zhǎn zài shàng miàn ， hù zhào bù jǐn wèi bèi pò chú ， fǎn ér mó guāng yī shǎn ， mó qì shùn zhe gǔ dāo kāi shǐ màn yán ， mó qì fǔ gǔ ！
刺啦，骨刀斩在上面，护罩不仅未被破除，反而魔光一闪，魔气顺着骨刀开始蔓延，魔气腐骨！
"Crack!" The bone blade struck it, but the shield wasn't broken; instead, a burst of dark magic energy spread along the blade, corrupting the flesh!
hēi liǎn dà hàn xīn jīng ròu tiào le qǐ lái ， tā suī rán wèi céng cān yù bǎi wàn nián qián de nà chǎng dà zhàn ， bù guò zhè zhǒng zhe míng de mó dào shén tōng què tīng shuō guò 。
黑脸大汉心惊肉跳了起来，他虽然未曾参与百万年前的那场大战，不过这种着名的魔道神通却听说过。
The big man's heart raced. Although he hadn't participated in the great battle a million years ago, he had heard about this famous magical technique.
jù shuō gāo jiē yāo mó kě yǐ lì yòng mó qì guàn zhù de fāng fǎ ， qīng yì jiāng xiū shì de fǎ bǎo fǔ yǐn huǐ qù 。
据说高阶妖魔可以利用魔气灌注的方法，轻易将修士的法宝腐饮毁去。
It was said that high-ranking demons could easily destroy a cultivator’s treasure by infusing their magic energy into it.
shī qù le chèn shǒu zhī wù ， jí biàn shì yuán yīng lǎo guài yě zhǐ néng rèn rén zǎi gē ， jiù gèng bú yào tán dī jiē de xiū shì le lì jǐn jǐn shì yī jiē chù ， nà gǔ dāo jiù chū le āi míng ， wú shù liè wén chū guān zài biǎo miàn ， suí hòu cùn cùn duàn liè le kāi lái 。
失去了趁手之物，即便是元婴老怪也只能任人宰割，就更不要谈低阶的修士了力仅仅是一接触，那骨刀就出了哀鸣，无数裂纹出观在表面，随后寸寸断裂了开来。
Without his handy tools, even an Elder Immortal would be at mercy, let alone ordinary cultivators. The bone blade emitted a mournful cry as soon as it touched the magic energy, developing countless cracks before breaking apart completely.
fēng lóng yě chà bu duō ， yuán běn hái zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo ， kě yǔ mó qì yī jiē chù ， jū rán yě yān xiāo yún sàn ， gǔ mó de shén tōng ， guǒ rán míng bù xū chuán ， nà hēi liǎn dà hàn jǐ bèi xià dé hún fēi tiān wài ， máng jiāng hún shēn de yāo lì zhù rù hù dùn lǐ miàn 。
风龙也差不多，原本还张牙舞爪，可与魔气一接触，居然也烟消云散，古魔的神通，果然名不虚传，那黑脸大汉己被吓得魂飞天外，忙将浑身的妖力注入护盾里面。
The wind dragons were similarly affected; they had been fierce and aggressive but disintegrated upon contact with the dark magic energy. The ancient fiend's power was indeed formidable. The big man was so terrified that he poured all his demonic strength into the shield.
zhǎo yǐng suí zhī hěn hěn de dú zài le shàng miàn 。
爪影随之狠狠的毒在了上面。
Claw shadows struck it viciously.
yī zhèn lìng rén yá suān de shēng yīn chuán lái ， dàn hù dùn bìng méi yǒu bèi dǎ huài 。
一阵令人牙酸的声音传来，但护盾并没有被打坏。
A sound like tearing flesh filled the air, but the shield remained unbroken.
hēi liǎn dà hàn sōng le kǒu qì ， cǐ dùn nǎi shì tā miè shā le yī sān jiē jí pǐn de guī lèi yāo zú ， yòng qí guī ké fǔ yǐ shù zhǒng tiān cái dì bǎo ， jīng xīn cuì liàn ér chéng ， fáng yù lì guǒ rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
黑脸大汉松了口气，此盾乃是他灭杀了一三阶极品的龟类妖族，用其龟壳辅以数种天材地宝，精心淬炼而成，防御力果然非同小可。
The big man breathed a sigh of relief. This shield had been crafted from the shell of a three-rank top-grade turtle demon and refined with several rare materials; its defensive power was formidable indeed.
suī rán duǒ guò le yī jié ． dàn hēi liǎn dà hàn kě bù rèn wéi zì jǐ néng yǔ yǎn qián zhè shì yāo mó ér fēi yāo mó de guài wù zuò duì ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， jì xù huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng táo xiàng wài miàn 。
虽然躲过了一劫．但黑脸大汉可不认为自己能与眼前这似妖魔而非妖魔的怪物作对，身形一闪，继续化为一道惊虹逃向外面。
Although he had escaped this peril, the big man didn't believe he could contend with this monster that seemed both demon and not. He flashed away and continued to transform into a streak of light as he fled.
“ áo luó gǔ mó ” de zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè ， tā de shuāng shǒu tū rán hé lǒng ， xū bào chéng qiú ． kǒu zhōng yě bù zhī dào niàn le yī jù zěn yàng de gǔ guài zhòu yǔ ， wàn qiān mó qì kāi shǐ zài shēn hòu níng jù ． wú shù bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de bīng jīng chū guān zài le kōng qì lǐ 。
“遨罗古魔”的嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲之色，他的双手突然合拢，虚抱成球．口中也不知道念了一句怎样的古怪咒语，万千魔气开始在身后凝聚．无数巴掌大小的冰晶出观在了空气里。
The corner of the "Kala Ancient Fiend's" mouth curled in ridicule. His hands suddenly clutched together, forming a ball in mid-air, and muttered some strange incantation. Countless dark magic energy began coalescing behind him, and numerous ice crystals appeared in the air.
“ qù ！” suí zhe cǐ mó yī shēng qīng dūn ， bīng jīng yī chàn zhī xià ， rú tóng qiān wàn jìn shǐ ． xiàng zhe qián fāng hū xiào ér qù 。
“去！”随着此魔一声轻吨，冰晶一颤之下，如同千万劲矢．向着前方呼啸而去。
"Go!" With this light whisper from the demon, the ice crystals trembled and shot forward like thousands of arrows, screaming toward his direction.
yóu yú shù liàng tài duō ， jiāng fāng yuán shù shí zhàng de fàn wéi quán dōu lǒng zhào zhù ， hēi liǎn dà hàn duǒ wú ěr duǒ ， dà jīng shī sè ， zhǐ néng jiāng shēn tǐ yī suō ， duǒ zài guī dùn hòu miàn le 。
由于数量太多，将方圆数十丈的范围全都笼罩住，黑脸大汉躲无耳躲，大惊失色，只能将身体一缩，躲在龟盾后面了。
Due to their sheer number, they covered a dozen feet around him. The big man had no place to hide as he turned pale. He could only huddle behind the turtle shield.
pì lǐ pā la de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lián jǐn bù jué ， hēi liǎn dà hàn liǎn sè yī bái ， dùn pái jìng rán yě kāi shǐ jūn liè 。
僻里啪啦的声音传入耳朵，连锦不绝，黑脸大汉脸色一白，盾牌竟然也开始龟裂。
"Crack!" "Crack!" sounds echoed continuously in his ears. His face paled further; the shield began cracking.
rú guǒ jì xù duǒ zài zhè lǐ ， zhǐ néng zuò yǐ dài bì 。
如果继续躲在这里，只能坐以待毙。
If he stayed here any longer, he would be doomed.
táo zǒu suī rán wēi xiǎn ， què hái yǒu yī xiàn shēng jī ！
逃走虽然危险，却还有一线生机！
Fleeing was dangerous but offered a chance!
piàn kè jiān ， tā jǐ zuò xià jué jiū yáng qǐ tóu ， yī shēng páo xiāo ， shēn xíng bào zhǎng ， dǒu rán bá gāo le sān chǐ yǒu yú ， hún shēn de yī fú cùn cùn suì liè ， luǒ lù chū lái de jī fū jiān yìng shì tiě ， qīng jīn bào qǐ ， zhēng yá shēn cháng ， zuǐ chún wài fān ， jìng rán biàn chéng le yì zhí lì xíng zǒu de yě zhū xíng xiàng 。
片刻间，他己做下决究扬起头，一声咆哮，身形暴涨，陡然拔高了三尺有余，浑身的衣服寸寸碎裂，裸露出来的肌肤坚硬似铁，青筋暴起，狰牙伸长，嘴唇外翻，竟然变成了一直立行走的野猪形象。
In an instant, he made up his mind and raised his head with a roar. His body suddenly grew larger, rising by three feet, tearing apart his clothes as his skin hardened like iron. Veins bulged, fangs elongated, lips curled into a snarl, transforming him into a standing wild boar.
rán hòu zhāng kāi kǒu ， yī dào jīng xuè pēn chū ， bìng xùn jié yǐ jí de shēn shǒu huà le yī dào fú ， zhǐ jiàn hóng yǐng yī shǎn ， nà xiān xuè jìng rán biàn huàn chū le liǎng dào chì bǎng lái ， chū guān zài tā de hòu miàn ， rán hòu cǐ yāo dùn shù zhòu rán jiā kuài 。
然后张开口，一道精血喷出，并迅捷以极的伸手画了一道符，只见红影一闪，那鲜血竟然变幻出了两道翅膀来，出观在他的后面，然后此妖遁术骤然加快。
He opened his mouth and spat out a stream of blood, swiftly drawing a talisman with his hand. A red flash appeared; the blood transformed into two wings that sprouted behind him. The demon's speed suddenly increased dramatically.
jiā luó gǔ mó de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ yì sè ， què sī háo méi yǒu dòng shēn qù zhuī de yì si ， fǎn ér tái qǐ shǒu lái ， wǔ zhǐ chéng zhǎo ， cháo zhe dì miàn zhè me xū kōng yī zhuā 。
迦罗古魔的眼中闪过一缕异色，却丝毫没有动身去追的意思，反而抬起手来，五指成爪，朝着地面这么虚空一抓。
Kala Ancient Fiend's eyes flashed with an odd color but showed no intention to chase. Instead, he raised his hand and formed claws, reaching out as if grasping something in mid-air.
cǐ diàn suī dà ， dàn zhū yāo shī zhǎn de mì shù fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yǎn kàn jiù yào lái dào diàn mén le ， bù yóu de xīn zhōng dà xǐ ， zhǐ yào cóng zhè lǐ chū qù ， táo dé xìng mìng yīng gāi méi yǒu wèn tí 。
此殿虽大，但猪妖施展的秘术非同小可，眼看就要来到殿门了，不由得心中大喜，只要从这里出去，逃得性命应该没有问题。
Though the hall was large, the pig demon’s secret technique was formidable. As it approached the door, the big man felt immense relief. Just escape through here, and he should be safe.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yì biàn tū qǐ ， qián fāng sān chǐ zhī chù de dì miàn pò kāi le yī tiáo kǒu zi ， jǐ dào hēi yǐng cóng lǐ miàn jī shè ér zhì 。
然而就在这时，异变突起，前方三尺之处的地面破开了一条口子，几道黑影从里面激射而至。
However, at this moment, an unexpected change occurred. A crack appeared three feet ahead of him, and several black shadows shot out from within.
rú cǐ jìn de jù lí ， duǒ bì jǐ jīng lái bù jí 。
如此近的距离，躲避己经来不及。
Too close to dodge.
nà jǐ dào hēi yǐng cì rù le tā de shēn tǐ ， jī ròu yìng huà de mì shù méi yǒu qǐ dào sī háo zuò yòng ， rán ér “ pēng ．， de yī shēng bào xiǎng zhī hòu ， shī tǐ què biàn wèi yī jié shǒu bì le 。
那几道黑影刺入了他的身体，肌肉硬化的秘术没有起到丝毫作用，然而“嘭．，的一声爆响之后，尸体却变为一节手臂了。
Those black shadows pierced his body; his muscle-hardening technique was useless. But with a "Bang!" the corpse transformed into an arm.
“ ó ， tì shēn dù jié **， xiǎng bú dào yāo zú zhī zhōng ， yě yǒu lèi sì yú wǒ mó dào de shén tōng ， bù guò nǐ yǐ wéi zhè yàng ， néng gòu táo tuō běn zūn de dú shǒu ？” nà hēi yī sēng rén chū gā gā de guài xiào ， suí hòu mó qì yī zhèn fān yǒng ， tā guāng tū tū de tóu dǐng zhī shàng ， jū rán zhǎng chū wú shù de tóu lái le 。
“哦，替身渡劫**，想不到妖族之中，也有类似于我魔道的神通，不过你以为这样，能够逃脱本尊的毒手？”那黑衣僧人出嘎嘎的怪笑，随后魔气一阵翻涌，他光秃秃的头顶之上，居然长出无数的头来了。
"Oh, Substitute Body Transcendence Talisman! I didn't expect the demon race to have similar powers as my sect. Do you think this can escape my clutches?" The black-robed monk cackled. Dark magic energy surged around him, and suddenly, countless heads sprouted from his bald head.
bù ， bú shì tóu ， shì yī tiáo tiáo xíng xì de cū shǒu ， měi yī tiáo jūn zhǐ yǒu xiǎo mǔ zhǐ de sān fēn zhī yī cū ， kàn shàng qù què zhēng níng kě bù ， zài nà chù shǒu de dǐng duān ， jū rán hái yǒu yī zhāng xiǎo xiǎo de zuǐ bā ， zuǐ bā lǐ miàn ， shì fǎng fú suō xiǎo liǎo wú shù bèi de è mó liáo yá 。
不，不是头，是一条条行细的粗手，每一条均只有小拇指的三分之一粗，看上去却狰狞可怖，在那触手的顶端，居然还有一张小小的嘴巴，嘴巴里面，是仿佛缩小了无数倍的恶魔缭牙。
No, not heads; they were thin, thick fingers, each about a third the size of a thumb, looking terrifying. At the end of each finger was a small mouth with miniature demonic fangs inside.
xiū mó zhě de gōng fǎ suī rán guǐ yì xié è ， dàn yǔ yǎn qián zhēn zhèng de yāo mó xiāng bǐ ， zì rán shì yuǎn yuǎn bù jí 。
修魔者的功法虽然诡异邪恶，但与眼前真正的妖魔相比，自然是远远不及。
Though the techniques of a cultivator were bizarre and evil, compared to true demons, they paled in comparison.
zhū yāo duǒ guò yī jié ， shàng lái bù jí sōng yì kǒu qì ， jiù kàn jiàn zhè wàn qiān dú shé yì bān de chū shǒu cóng sì miàn bā fāng pū xiàng le zì jǐ 。
猪妖躲过一劫，尚来不及松一口气，就看见这万千毒蛇一般的出手从四面八方扑向了自己。
The pig demon barely had time to relax after escaping one danger when he saw countless snake-like attacks converging on him from all directions.
tài duō tài mì ， chú fēi tā huì shùn yí ， fǒu zé gēn běn jiù méi yǒu duǒ shǎn de yú dì 。
太多太密，除非他会瞬移，否则根本就没有躲闪的余地。
Too many and too close; unless he could teleport, there was no way to dodge them.
cǐ yāo xià dé hún fēi tiān wài ， shēn shǒu zài yāo jiān lián pāi ， yī lián qī bā jiàn fǎ bǎo bèi tā jì le qǐ lái ， huà wèi gè sè guāng tuán ， hù zài tā de qián miàn 。
此妖吓得魂飞天外，伸手在腰间连拍，一连七八件法宝被他祭了起来，化为各色光团，护在他的前面。
Terrified beyond measure, the demon reached into his waistband and consecutively summoned several talismans. They transformed into colorful light orbs that shielded him.
"Hmph!" The monk's lips curled into a sneer. He raised his left hand, and dark magic energy surged out like ink. Within the magic energy, faint black light flickered. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be several black talisman symbols, each about the size of a fist, swirling continuously with an air of mystery.
The big man with a black face paled as he felt an inexplicable sense of dread.
What kind of monster is this guy? If he's a demon or fiend, why does he know the exclusive secret technique of Xuanfeng Sect? If he isn't a demon, how did he end up trapped here?
The Heavenly Four-Spirit Array had been destroyed. Could it be that he was involved in some way?
In any case, this guy couldn't be fought head-on!
With these thoughts, the big man's heart harbored an intention to retreat.
After all, the fate of a tiger monster lay before his eyes. Although treasures were tempting, one must live long enough to enjoy them.
His eyes flashed with determination as he summoned another treasure. Several round talismans about the size of dragon eyes began spinning and transformed into several wind dragons, which pounced on the strange demon.
Meanwhile, he turned into a streak of light and retreated backward.
A strange laugh echoed in his ears.
"Ha-ha! Trying to run? Too naive. This Sovereign is trapped in this ancient fiend's body for ten thousand years now. I finally got a fat lamb as an offering; how could I let you escape? Be wise, and submit to my consumption!" The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like the clash of metal. The big man's heart grew even more fearful.
Ten thousand years ago?
According to White Crane Elder's writings, wasn't that great calamity a million years ago? Could this guy not be Kala Ancient Fiend?
Unfortunately, he didn't have much time to ponder. Magic energy surged from the dark black fog, and several claw shadows shot out suddenly.
In an instant, they vanished from their original positions before appearing right in front of him. The big man's expression changed dramatically as he tapped his storage bag without hesitation, summoning a black iron shield.
The shield was peculiarly shaped, resembling a turtle shell from the outside.

In an instant, he made up his mind and raised his head with a roar. His body suddenly grew larger, rising by three feet, tearing apart his clothes as his skin hardened like iron. Veins bulged, fangs elongated, lips curled into a snarl, transforming him into a standing wild boar.
He opened his mouth and spat out a stream of blood, swiftly drawing a talisman with his hand. A red flash appeared; the blood transformed into two wings that sprouted behind him. The demon's speed suddenly increased dramatically.
Kala Ancient Fiend's eyes flashed with an odd color but showed no intention to chase. Instead, he raised his hand and formed claws, reaching out as if grasping something in mid-air.
Though the hall was large, the pig demon’s secret technique was formidable. As it approached the door, the big man felt immense relief. Just escape through here, and he should be safe.
However, at this moment, an unexpected change occurred. A crack appeared three feet ahead of him, and several black shadows shot out from within.
Too close to dodge.
Those black shadows pierced his body; his muscle-hardening technique was useless. But with a "Bang!" the corpse transformed into an arm.
"Oh, Substitute Body Transcendence Talisman! I didn't expect the demon race to have similar powers as my sect. Do you think this can escape my clutches?" The black-robed monk cackled. Dark magic energy surged around him, and suddenly, countless heads sprouted from his bald head.
No, not heads; they were thin, thick fingers, each about a third the size of a thumb, looking terrifying. At the end of each finger was a small mouth with miniature demonic fangs inside.
Though the techniques of a cultivator were bizarre and evil, compared to true demons, they paled in comparison.
The pig demon barely had time to relax after escaping one danger when he saw countless snake-like attacks converging on him from all directions.
Too many and too close; unless he could teleport, there was no way to dodge them.
Terrified beyond measure, the demon reached into his waistband and consecutively summoned several talismans. They transformed into colorful light orbs that shielded him.
