“ bù nǚ zǐ ！”
“不女子！”
"Unladylike!"
lín xuān liǎn sè dà biàn ， méi xiǎng dào zhè yàng yě huì bèi duì fāng guān ， xiǎng yě bù xiǎng de shēn xíng yī shǎn ， jǐ cháo páng biān dùn kāi 。
林轩脸色大变，没想到这样也会被对方观，想也不想的身形一闪，己朝旁边遁开。
Lin Xuan's expression changed dramatically. He hadn't expected to be observed by the other party in such a manner. Without hesitation, he flashed away and retreated to the side.
yú hé shēn wèi xuě hú gōng zhǔ ， tóng yàng shì xīn sī jī mǐn de rén wù ， lián bù qīng yí ， yě shì huǎn shí jí de cháo páng biān tuì le kāi qù 。
娱河身为雪狐公主，同样是心思机敏的人物，莲步轻移，也似缓实急的朝旁边退了开去。
Yuhua, as the Snow Fox Princess, was also an astute individual. She took a few light steps and similarly moved quickly to retreat to one side.
jī hū shì zài liǎng rén tuì kāi de tóng shí ， yī tiáo ér bì cū xiàng biān zi yī yàng de gǔ guài zhī wù cóng lín xuān gāng gāng zhàn lì de dì dǐ shēn le chū lái 。
几乎是在两人退开的同时，一条儿臂粗像鞭子一样的古怪之物从林轩刚刚站立的地底伸了出来。
Almost simultaneously with their retreat, a strange object about the thickness of an arm emerged from beneath Lin Xuan's feet, resembling a whip.
hǎo xiǎn ！
好险！
How close we came!
lín xuān xī le kǒu liáng qì ， dìng qíng wàng qù 。
林轩吸了口凉气，定晴望去。
Lin Xuan sucked in a cold breath as he focused his gaze. The object extended from behind the black-robed monk and appeared like his tail.
zhǐ jiàn nà dōng xī cóng hēi yī sēng rén de bèi hòu yán shēn chū lái ， jìng xiàng shì tā de wěi ba yì bān 。
只见那东西从黑衣僧人的背后延伸出来，竟像是他的尾巴一般。
This guy is also a demon or monster, Lin Xuan instantly judged. His entire body was enveloped in a faint green glow as he opened Nine Heaven Spirit Shield.
zhè jiā huo yě shì yāo mó ， lín xuān yī shùn jiān jiù zuò chū le pàn duàn ， hún shēn qīng máng yī shǎn ， jǐ jiāng jiǔ tiān líng dùn dǎ kāi 。
这家伙也是妖魔，林轩一瞬间就做出了判断，浑身青芒一闪，己将九天灵盾打开。
Yuhua didn't dally either. With a flick of her jade hand, six crescent-shaped light blades emerged from her body and slowly rotated around. This was also an offensive-defensive artifact.
yú ā tóng yàng bù gǎn dài màn ， yù shǒu yī fú ， liù dào yuè yá xíng de guāng rèn cóng tā de shēn tǐ lǐ fú guān ér chū ， huǎn huǎn xuán zhuǎn ， zhè yě shì yī jiàn gōng fáng jiān bèi de bǎo wù 。
娱阿同样不敢怠慢，玉手一拂，六道月牙形的光刃从她的身体里浮观而出，缓缓旋转，这也是一件攻防兼备的宝物。
"Oh, an early-stage Immortal Cultivator and a mid-stage transformed beast. Excellent! It seems that the high-ranking existence that intruded this space is more than I imagined. After consuming you both, I should be able to break through the Heaven's Sealed Demonic Array and leave this sealed area," Grolu Ancient Demon licked his lips with a cold smile on his face.
“ ó ， yī míng yuán yīng chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， hái yǒu yī huà xíng zhōng qī yāo zú ， tài hǎo le ， kàn lái chuǎng rù zhè kōng jiān de gāo jiē cún zài bǐ běn zūn xiǎng xiàng de hái duō ， jiāng nǐ men tūn shì yǐ hòu ， wǒ yīng gāi kě yǐ jiāng tiān lǐ fú mó zhèn pò chú ， lí kāi zhè fēng yìn zhī chù 。” guàng luó gǔ mó tiǎn le tiǎn zuǐ jiǎo ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì bīng lěng de xiào yì 。
“哦，一名元婴初期的修仙者，还有一化形中期妖族，太好了，看来闯入这空间的高阶存在比本尊想象的还多，将你们吞噬以后，我应该可以将天里伏魔阵破除，离开这封印之处。”逛罗古魔舔了舔嘴角，脸上满是冰冷的笑意。
"Consuming our Immortal Nuclei?"
“ tūn shì wǒ men yuán yīng ？”
“吞噬我们元婴？”
Lin Xuan frowned as suspicion arose in his heart.
lín xuān zhòu le zhòu méi ， xīn zhōng jiè yì dà qǐ 。
林轩皱了皱眉，心中戒意大起。
"My friend, be cautious. This demon not only devours souls but also fuses the bodies of cultivators. My body was eaten by him, and this demon's escape technique is unique. You two shouldn't even think about escaping. Let's join forces and fight this guy," the Immortal Nucleus's eyes flickered as he slowly spoke. The venom in his voice made Lin Xuan turn his head.
“ dào yǒu xiǎo xīn ， cǐ mó bù jǐn tūn yīng ， xiū shì de ròu shēn ， tā yě huì tóng yàng róng hé ， lǎo fū de qū tǐ ， jiù shì bèi tā gěi chī le ， ér qiě cǐ mó dùn qí tè ， liǎng wèi bú yào wàng xiǎng táo zǒu ， wǒ men bù rú lián hé ， yǔ zhè jiā huo pīn le 。” yuán yīng mù guāng shǎn shuò ， tū rán huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu ， shēng yīn zhī zhōng de yuàn dú ， gèng shì ràng lín xuān wèi zhī cè mù 。
“道友小心，此魔不仅吞婴，修士的肉身，他也会同样融合，老夫的躯体，就是被他给吃了，而且此魔遁奇特，两位不要妄想逃走，我们不如联合，与这家伙拼了。”元婴目光闪烁，突然缓缓的开口，声音之中的怨毒，更是让林轩为之侧目。
"Who are you?"
“ dào yǒu shì ……”
“道友是……”
"I am Elder Master Yue Xianfeng of the Azure Phoenix Sect."
“ zài xià xuán fèng mén dà zhǎng lǎo yuè xián fēng 。”
“在下玄凤门大长老岳弦峰。”
Could this be the great cultivator I met by the Cold Pond?
yuè xián fēng ， nán dào biàn shì zì jǐ zài hán tán biān shàng yù jiàn de nà wèi dà xiū shì ？
岳弦峰，难道便是自己在寒谭边上遇见的那位大修士？
Lin Xuan remained calm on the surface but was secretly pondering. Fighting demons together? What a joke! Although he didn't know how the body of the leader of the Azure Phoenix Sect was destroyed, he could see from this demon's abilities that it wasn't an easy task.
lín xuān biǎo miàn bù dòng shēng sè ， xīn zhōng què àn àn sī suǒ ， lián shǒu dòu mó ， bié kāi wán xiào le ， suī rán bù zhī dào zhè wèi xuán fèng mén zhī zhǔ ròu shēn shì rú hé bèi huǐ de ， dàn cǐ mó de shén tōng yě kě jiàn yī bān le 。
林轩表面不动声色，心中却暗暗思索，联手斗魔，别开玩笑了，虽然不知道这位玄凤门之主肉身是如何被毁的，但此魔的神通也可见一斑了。
Lin Xuan was not weak, nor would he take unnecessary risks. Fighting such a demon wouldn't bring any benefits; are you stupid?
lín xuān bìng bù qiè ruò ． dàn yě jué bú huì mào xiǎn ， yǔ cǐ mó xiāng dòu yòu méi shén me hǎo chù ， dāng zì jǐ shǎ me ？
林轩并不怯弱．但也绝不会冒险，与此魔相斗又没什么好处，当自己傻么？
Of course, Lin Xuan didn't say these things out loud. Instead, his face showed righteous indignation: "Eradicating demons and upholding the Dao is our duty. I naturally cannot shirk this responsibility."
dāng rán ， zhè fān huà lín xuān shì bú huì shuō de ， liǎn shàng fǎn ér lù chū yī liǎn zhèng qì zhī sè ：“ chú mó wèi dào nǎi wǒ bèi zhī zé ， zài xià zì rán shì yì bù róng cí de 。”
当然，这番话林轩是不会说的，脸上反而露出一脸正气之色：“除魔卫道乃我辈之责，在下自然是义不容辞的。”
Yuhua's expression changed as she listened. Having spent so much time with Lin Xuan, she knew that this young man was far more cunning than she had imagined.
yú hé tīng le ， liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī yì sè ， yǔ lín xuān zài yì qǐ dài le zhè me jiǔ ， tā dāng rán zhī dào zhè shào nián bǐ xiǎng xiàng de yào jiǎo huá dé duō 。
娱河听了，脸上露出一丝异色，与林轩在一起待了这么久，她当然知道这少年比想象的要狡猾得多。
The other party must have some ulterior motive.
duì fāng rú cǐ zuò zuò ， kěn dìng bié yǒu dǎ suàn zài lǐ tou 。
对方如此做作，肯定别有打算在里头。
She didn't want to fight the demon either but found it difficult to escape alone.
tā yě bù xiǎng yǔ yāo mó xiāng dòu ， dàn zì jǐ yí gè rén hěn nán dùn zǒu 。
她也不想与妖魔相斗，但自己一个人很难遁走。
Taking a few light steps, she stood beside Lin Xuan.
lián bù qīng yí ， yǔ lín xuān bìng jiān zhàn zài le yì qǐ 。
莲步轻移，与林轩并肩站在了一起。
The Immortal Nucleus's heart leaped with joy. If it were him, he might struggle to escape from the demon's hands. But now, there were two "fools" here to help.
yuán yīng xīn zhōng dà xǐ ， rú guǒ shì tā zì jǐ ， kǒng pà hěn nán cóng yāo mó de shǒu zhōng táo qù ， bù guò guān zài yǒu liǎng gè diàn bèi de “ shǎ mào ” chū guān zài le zhè lǐ 。
元婴心中大喜，如果是他自己，恐怕很难从妖魔的手中逃去，不过观在有两个垫背的“傻帽”出观在了这里。
Unfortunately, this great cultivator underestimated things too much. Although his abilities fell far short of Lin Xuan's, in terms of cunning... well, human calculations against mine, who knows which side would win. Besides, the other party was merely an early-stage Immortal Nucleus.
kě xī zhè wèi dà xiū shì bǎ shì qíng xiǎng dé tài jiǎn dān le xiē ， lín xuān shén tōng yǔ zhī xiāng bǐ gù rán yuǎn yuǎn bù jí ， dàn ruò lùn xīn jī ．… hēng hēng ， rén suàn wǒ ， wǒ yì suàn zhī ， lù sǐ shéi shǒu hái shì liǎng shuō zhī shì 。
可惜这位大修士把事情想得太简单了些，林轩神通与之相比固然远远不及，但若论心机．…哼哼，人算我，我亦算之，鹿死谁手还是两说之事。
Lin Xuan turned around and focused on the black-robed monk.
gèng hé kuàng duì fāng bù guò yī qū qū de yuán yīng zhī tǐ 。
更何况对方不过一区区的元婴之体。
The other party had a kind face but was surrounded by demon energy. The feeling it gave him was vastly different from previous demons, especially mysterious because he couldn't determine its cultivation stage... Could this guy be at the Separation Stage?
lín xuān huí guò tóu ， jiāng mù guāng luò zài nà hēi yī sēng rén shēn shàng 。
林轩回过头，将目光落在那黑衣僧人身上。
Lin Xuan shivered with cold thoughts. However, quickly shaking his head, he dismissed such an idea. No, although he had never seen a Separation Stage monster before, it was likely much stronger than this one.
duì fāng cí méi shàn mù ． rán ér hún shēn què mó qì zhào tǐ ， gěi zì jǐ de gǎn jué ， yǔ yǐ qián de yāo mó dà bù xiāng tóng ， yóu qí guǐ yì de shì ， zì jǐ jū rán kàn bù chū zhè jiā huo de jìng jiè ．． nán dào duì fāng jìng shì lí hé qī yāo mó ？
对方慈眉善目．然而浑身却魔气罩体，给自己的感觉，与以前的妖魔大不相同，尤其诡异的是，自己居然看不出这家伙的境界．．难道对方竟是离合期妖魔？
If that were true, the Azure Phoenix Sect's Immortal Nucleus wouldn't be able to escape either.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yī hán de xiǎng zhe ， bù guò hěn kuài ， què yáo le yáo tóu ， bú huì ， zì jǐ suī rán cóng wèi jiàn guò lí hé qī guài wù ， dàn xiǎng lái yào bǐ yǎn qián de yāo mó qiáng dà dé duō 。
林轩心中一寒的想着，不过很快，却摇了摇头，不会，自己虽然从未见过离合期怪物，但想来要比眼前的妖魔强大得多。
Relieved, Lin Xuan didn't slacken his vigilance. With a wave of his sleeve, the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring flew out and spun around him, enveloped in a layer of silver light.
tā ruò zhēn yǒu nà me lì hài ， yǎn qián zhè wèi xuán fèng mén dà zhǎng lǎo de yuán yīng yě bù kě néng táo tuō 。
他若真有那么厉害，眼前这位玄凤门大长老的元婴也不可能逃脱。
"Hmm, this is a dual-attribute treasure?"
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， bù guò què bù gǎn yǒu sī háo fàng sōng jǐng tì 。
念及至此，林轩松了口气，不过却不敢有丝毫放松警惕。
Grolu Ancient Demon's face showed surprise as he looked at Lin Xuan with a serious gaze mixed with some astonishment: "Such a magical artifact can only be found in the Upper Heavens. Where did you get it from?"
xiù páo yī fú ， jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán jǐ fēi lüè ér chū ， dī liū liū xuán zhuǎn zhe ． shì fàng chū yī céng yín guāng jiāng lín xuān bāo guǒ 。
袖袍一拂，九天明月环己飞掠而出，滴溜溜旋转着．释放出一层银光将林轩包裹。
Yue Xianfeng and Yuhua, both experienced, were equally surprised by Grolu's words!
“ yí ， zhè shì shuāng shǔ xìng bǎo wù ？”
“咦，这是双属性宝物？”
Dual-attribute treasure?
jiā luó gǔ mó de liǎn shàng fú guān chū qí yì zhī sè ， wàng xiàng lín xuān de mù guāng ， dùn shí biàn dé níng zhòng ， hái yǒu jǐ fēn chà yì zài lǐ tou ：“ zhè zhǒng fǎ bǎo ， zhǐ yǒu shàng jiè cái yǒu ， nǐ cóng hé chù dé dào ？”
迦罗古魔的脸上浮观出奇异之色，望向林轩的目光，顿时变得凝重，还有几分诧异在里头：“这种法宝，只有上界才有，你从何处得到？”
Did this guy really think he was just an early-stage Immortal Cultivator? Regardless, they had no time to delve into such details. The battle was about to begin, and the most dangerous enemy now was the ancient demon.
yuè xián fēng hé yú hé tóng yàng jiàn duō shí guǎng ， tīng le gǔ mó de huà ， biǎo qíng yě biàn dé jīng è yì cháng ！
岳弦峰和娱河同样见多识广，听了古魔的话，表情也变得惊愕异常！
The Immortal Nucleus rolled his eyes and opened his mouth, spitting out a stream of green light that grew as it spread, transforming into a three-foot-long sword of light. Later-stage cultivators were different; even without their bodies, they still possessed awe-inspiring magical power.
shuāng shǔ xìng fǎ bǎo ？
双属性法宝？
Grolu Ancient Demon didn't care. The other party was merely food to him. A sneer appeared on his lips, and he made no move but began to release intense demon energy around him, lunging towards Lin Xuan with fangs bared.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， zhè xiǎo zi bù guò shì yuán yīng chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， dāng rán ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， liǎng rén yě méi yǒu xīn qíng shēn jiū shén me ， dà zhàn zài jí ， rú jīn zuì wēi xiǎn de dí rén shì gǔ mó 。
有没有搞错，这小子不过是元婴初期的修仙者，当然，此时此刻，两人也没有心情深究什么，大战在即，如今最危险的敌人是古魔。
What kind of ability is this?
yuán yīng zhuǎn le zhuǎn yǎn zhū ， zhāng kāi kǒu ， pēn chū yī yīng qīng guāng ， jiàn fēng jiù zhǎng ， huà wèi le yī bǐng sān chǐ qīng máng ， hòu qī xiū shì jiù bù yí yàng ， suī rán shī qù le shēn tǐ ， dàn yī rán yōng yǒu lìng rén wàng ér shēng wèi de fǎ lì 。
元婴转了转眼珠，张开口，喷出一缨青光，见风就长，化为了一柄三尺青芒，后期修士就不一样，虽然失去了身体，但依然拥有令人望而生畏的法力。
Lin Xuan frowned as he extended a finger without hesitation. The Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring trembled, emitting a ringing sound as bright light burst forth, revealing several fire dragons and ice serpents.
gǔ mó bìng bù zài yì ， duì fāng bù guò shì zì jǐ de shí wù ér jǐ ， tā de zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū jǐ fēn jī cháo de xiào yì ， yě bú jiàn yǒu shén me dòng zuò ， shēn tǐ zhōu wéi de mó qì jiù kāi shǐ jù liè fān yǒng ， zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo de xiàng zhe zhè biān pū guò lái le 。
古魔并不在意，对方不过是自己的食物而己，他的嘴角边露出几分讥嘲的笑意，也不见有什么动作，身体周围的魔气就开始剧烈翻涌，张牙舞爪的向着这边扑过来了。
Satisfied, Lin Xuan's mind moved, and the fire dragons and ice serpents lunged forward. Soon, they clashed, with dense explosions echoing in his ears. Although the demon fog was fierce, the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring's power could not be underestimated; the fire dragons and ice serpents gained the upper hand.
zhè shì shén me shén tōng ？
这是什么神通？
However, Grolu Ancient Demon didn't show any surprise on his face. A spell was cast, and the demon fog quickly coalesced in the center, becoming denser until a ghostly face materialized, covering half an acre, looking terrifying.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， xiǎng yě bù xiǎng de shēn chū shǒu ， yī zhǐ diǎn chū 。
林轩眉头一皱，想也不想的伸出手，一指点出。
The ghostly face opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth as grayish-white demonic wind spewed out. Rolling and retracting, it enveloped one of the fire dragons and pulled it back into its mouth.
jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán kāi shǐ chàn dǒu ， míng míng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， líng guāng bào shè ， yào yǎn de guāng huá zhōng jǐ zhī huǒ lóng yǔ bīng jiāo fú guān ér chū 。
九天明月环开始颤抖，鸣鸣的声音传入耳朵，灵光爆射，耀眼的光华中几只火龙与冰蛟浮观而出。
But with a series of chomps, the demon swallowed the dragon whole.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， shén niàn wēi dòng ， huǒ lóng yǔ bīng jiāo jiù zhōu qián pū guò qù le ”．”． hěn kuài ， shuāng fāng jiē chù ， mì jí de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， mó wù suī rán xiōng yǒng ， dàn jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán de wēi lì gèng jiā bù kě xiǎo guān ， huǒ lóng yǔ bīng jiāo dà zhàn shàng fēng 。
林轩脸上露出满意之色，神念微动，火龙与冰蛟就舟前扑过去了”．”．很快，双方接触，密集的爆裂声传入耳朵，魔雾虽然汹涌，但九天明月环的威力更加不可小观，火龙与冰蛟大占上风。
Lin Xuan was no stranger to such things but had never encountered this brutal technique before. Before he could react, another ice serpent was devoured by the demon.
rán ér áo luó gǔ mó de liǎn shàng bìng wèi lù chū yì wài zhī sè ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， nà xiē mó wù xùn wǎng zhōng jiān níng jù ， yuè lái yuè nóng ， yī zhāng guǐ liǎn huàn huà ér chū ， miàn jī zú yǒu bàn mǔ ， kàn shàng qù zhēng níng kě bù 。
然而遨罗古魔的脸上并未露出意外之色，一道法诀打出，那些魔雾迅往中间凝聚，越来越浓，一张鬼脸幻化而出，面积足有半亩，看上去狰狞可怖。
Frowning, Lin Xuan waved his hands urgently and recited obscure incantations:
guǐ liǎn yī zhāng kǒu ， liáo yá wài lù ， yī dào huī bái sè de mó fēng cóng lǐ miàn zé tǔ ， yī juàn yī shōu ， jìng rán jiāng yī zhī huǒ lóng bāo guǒ ， juǎn huí dào le zuǐ bā zhī zhōng 。
鬼脸一张口，缭牙外露，一道灰白色的魔风从里面啧吐，一卷一收，竟然将一只火龙包裹，卷回到了嘴巴之中。
"Combine!"
rán ér zhè jiā huo dà zuǐ yī zhèn luàn jué ， jiù jiāng huǒ lóng tūn luò 。
然而这家伙大嘴一阵乱嚼，就将火龙吞落。
As he moved, the remaining fire dragons and ice serpents gathered together, starting to merge. The dazzling light made everyone turn their heads.
lín xuān yě suàn jiàn duō shí guǎng ， dàn zhè zhǒng biāo hàn de zhāo shù zhēn shì dì yī cì yù dào ó ， hái lái bù jí dòng zuò ， jiù yòu yǒu yī tóu bīng jiāo bèi zhè jiā huo shēng tūn le 。
林轩也算见多识广，但这种彪悍的招数真是第一次遇到哦，还来不及动作，就又有一头冰蛟被这家伙生吞了。
Grolu Ancient Demon's expression finally changed. This was merely an early-stage Immortal Cultivator with a dual-attribute treasure. Not only could he overcome water and fire incompatibility but also perform such feats... this was troublesome!
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， shuāng shǒu jí huī wǔ ， zuǐ chún zhāng hé ， huì sè de zhòu yǔ yuán yuán ér chū ：
林轩眉头一皱，双手急挥舞，嘴唇张合，晦涩的咒语源源而出：
He didn't wait for Lin Xuan to cast his secret technique. He pointed his finger, and the ghostly face opened its mouth, spewing out a large stream of grayish-white demonic wind, much thicker than before, rushing forward.
“ hé ！”
“合！”
But a loud boom echoed in his ears as bright light burst forth. A silver dragon emerged from the light ball, stretching nearly twenty feet long with two heads and four legs. Just a low growl sent the demonic wind scattering.
"Unladylike!"
Lin Xuan's expression changed dramatically. He hadn't expected to be observed by the other party in such a manner. Without hesitation, he flashed away and retreated to the side.
Yuhua, as the Snow Fox Princess, was also an astute individual. She took a few light steps and similarly moved quickly to retreat to one side.
Boom!
Almost simultaneously with their retreat, a strange object about the thickness of an arm emerged from beneath Lin Xuan's feet, resembling a whip.
How close we came!
Lin Xuan sucked in a cold breath as he focused his gaze. The object extended from behind the black-robed monk and appeared like his tail.
This guy is also a demon or monster, Lin Xuan instantly judged. His entire body was enveloped in a faint green glow as he opened Nine Heaven Spirit Shield.
Yuhua didn't dally either. With a flick of her jade hand, six crescent-shaped light blades emerged from her body and slowly rotated around. This was also an offensive-defensive artifact.
