lín xuān bìng méi yǒu gǎn dào gāo xìng ， liǎn shàng fǎn ér lù chū le jǐ fēn jīng qí ， suí hòu liǎn sè jiù yīn chén le xià qù ， bù guò qū qū mó qì suǒ níng chéng de huà shēn ér yǐ ， jū rán néng gòu dǎng zhù qīng huǒ jiàn de quán lì 。
林轩并没有感到高兴，脸上反而露出了几分惊奇，随后脸色就阴沉了下去，不过区区魔气所凝成的化身而已，居然能够挡住青火剑的全力。
Lin Xuan did not feel elated. Instead, a hint of surprise flashed across his face before his expression turned grim. However, this was merely an avatar formed from the demon essence; it could actually block the full power of the Green Flame Sword.
zhè kě yǒu xiē jí shǒu ， lín xuān kāi shǐ chóng xīn kǎo lǜ shì fǒu yīng gāi mǎ shàng xié dǐ mǒ yóu 。
这可有些棘手，林轩开始重新考虑是否应该马上鞋底抹油。
This was somewhat troublesome. Lin Xuan began to reconsider whether he should immediately make a run for it.
jǐn jiē zhe shā dào de shì bāo jiāo bǎo shàn suǒ shì fàng de yīn yáng guài fēng ， rán ér tóng yàng méi yǒu qǐ dào shén me xiào guǒ ， bèi yī xiǎo qiǎo líng lóng de mó wù shǒu chí dùn pái dǎng zhù 。
紧接着杀到的是苞蕉宝扇所释放的阴阳怪风，然而同样没有起到什么效果，被一小巧玲珑的魔物手持盾牌挡住。
The next attack came from the Yin-Yang Deviant Wind released by the Banana Treasure Fan. However, this too proved ineffective as a small, dexterous demon creature blocked it with its shield.
luò zài zuì hòu miàn de fǎn ér shì xuě hú wáng zhè wèi dà kuài zú 。
落在最后面的反而是雪狐王这位大块族。
At the back of the formation was the Great Block Clan's Snow Fox King.
kàn jiàn lín xuān de gōng jī méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， tā yī jiù shì háo bù dòng róng ， jiǔ gè huà shēn yì qǐ jǔ qǐ le shǒu ， jiāng gǔ mó tuán tuán wéi zhù ， rán hòu fǎ bǎo hěn hěn de pī xià qù le 。
看见林轩的攻击没有效果，他依旧是毫不动容，九个化身一起举起了手，将古魔团团围住，然后法宝狠狠的劈下去了。
Seeing that Lin Xuan’s attacks were ineffective, he remained unperturbed. The nine avatars raised their hands simultaneously and surrounded the ancient demon, then unleashed theirtreasure法器with great force.
fǎng ruò qíng tiān pī lì bān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。 xuě hú wáng de gōng jī kàn shì méi yǒu shén me qǔ qiǎo zhī chù ， dàn wēi lì què dào le hài rén tīng wén de dì bù ， dǎng zài tā qián miàn de mó wù yǒu ruò zhǐ hú ， bú shì bèi xuē diào le tóu lú ， jiù shì cóng méi xīn bèi pī wèi liǎng bàn le 。
仿若晴天霹雳般的声音传入耳朵。雪狐王的攻击看似没有什么取巧之处，但威力却到了骇人听闻的地步，挡在他前面的魔物有若纸糊，不是被削掉了头颅，就是从眉心被劈为两半了。
A thunderous sound echoed in his ears. The Snow Fox King’s attack seemed straightforward but was incredibly powerful; the demons in front of him crumbled like paper, either losing their heads or being split in half from the brow to the chin.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， suàn shì dì èr cì jiàn shí le dà xiū shì de shí lì ， guǒ rán yuǎn fēi zì jǐ kě bǐ 。 xīn zhōng yě bù yóu de dà wèi jiè jù 。
林轩叹了口气，算是第二次见识了大修士的实力，果然远非自己可比。心中也不由得大为戒惧。
Lin Xuan sighed, having witnessed for a second time the power of a high-ranking cultivator. Indeed, it far exceeded his own capabilities. He felt a great sense of caution.
lüè yī chóu chú ， biàn jiāng qīng huǒ jiàn zhāo huí lái le ， suí hòu gǎi jiāng jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán jì chū ，
略一踌躇，便将青火剑招回来了，随后改将九天明月环祭出，
After a moment’s hesitation, he recalled the Green Flame Sword and instead summoned the Nine Heaven Moon Ring.
zhè shí ， ěr biān chuán lái le gǔ mó jīng nù jiāo jí de hū hè ， què shì xuě hú wáng pī fān mó wù yǐ hòu 。 chèn jī shā rù le nà duǒ hēi lián de zhèng zhōng 。
这时，耳边传来了古魔惊怒交集的呼喝，却是雪狐王劈翻魔物以后。趁机杀入了那朵黑莲的正中。
At this moment, the ancient demon let out a mix of shock and anger as the Snow Fox King had successfully penetrated the center of the black lotus after defeating several demons.
dùn shí ， mó wù fǎng fú bèi rén tǒng le de mǎ fēng wō 。 yǐ qián suǒ wèi yǒu de jù liè chéng dù kāi shǐ fān yǒng 。 yāo qì bào shè ， xiǎn rán xuě hú wáng yě quán lì yǐ fù 。
顿时，魔雾仿佛被人捅了的马蜂窝。以前所未有的剧烈程度开始翻涌。妖气爆射，显然雪狐王也全力以赴。
The demon fog suddenly erupted like a hive that had been disturbed. The intensity was unprecedented, with demonic energy surging everywhere. Clearly, the Snow Fox King was also giving his all.
jū rán yǎn biàn chéng zhè zhǒng jié guǒ ， lín xuān yě yǒu xiē mù dèng kǒu dāi le 。
居然演变成这种结果，林轩也有些目瞪口呆了。
Lin Xuan’s eyes widened in surprise as he realized this outcome. He originally thought that even if there could be a decisive battle, it would take some time and likely turn into a long and arduous struggle.
yuán běn tā yǐ wéi zhè chǎng zhàn dòu jí shǐ néng fēn chū shèng fù ， yě jué bú huì shì yī shí sān kè ， duō bàn huì shì yī cháng hěn jiān kǔ de chí jiǔ zhàn de 。
原本他以为这场战斗即使能分出胜负，也绝不会是一时三刻，多半会是一场很艰苦的持久战的。
Instead, from the start, one of the three Great Demons, the old Snow Fox, had engaged in a head-on confrontation—perhaps more accurately described as a desperate fight.
méi xiǎng dào cóng yī kāi shǐ ， zhè wèi sān dà yāo wáng zhī yī de lǎo xuě hú jiù yǔ duì fāng yìng pèng ” bù 。 huò xǔ shuō chéng pīn mìng gèng jiā shì hé 。
没想到从一开始，这位三大妖王之一的老雪狐就与对方硬碰”不。或许说成拼命更加适合。
Lin Xuan’s eyes flashed with an unusual light, lost in thought.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng yì guāng shǎn shuò ， yě bù zhī dào zài xiǎng xiē shén me 。
林轩眼中异光闪烁，也不知道在想些什么。
"Master, this is our chance. We can slip away."
“ shào yé ， rú jīn shì hǎo jī huì 。 wǒ men kě yǐ chèn jī liū zǒu 。”
“少爷，如今是好机会。我们可以趁机溜走。”
"No," Lin Xuan shook his head. "Let's see how things unfold first."
“ bù 。” lín xuān què yáo le yáo tóu ：“ xiān kàn kàn qíng kuàng zài shuō 。”
“不。”林轩却摇了摇头：“先看看情况再说。”
"All right."
“ hǎo de
“好的
Although Mo Er felt somewhat puzzled, she always obeyed her master’s commands and did not argue further.
yuè ér suī rán gǎn jué yǒu xiē yí huò ， dàn tā duì shào yé xiàng lái yán tīng jì cóng ， yě jiù bù zài fǎn bó 。
月儿虽然感觉有些疑惑，但她对少爷向来言听计从，也就不再反驳。
Rumbling sounds continued to reach his ears. Within half a cup of tea, two loud roars echoed from the demon fog—Snow Fox King and the ancient demon. Both voices were filled with pain, but it was unclear who had emerged victorious.
lóng lóng de bào liè shēng jì xù chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
隆隆的爆裂声继续传入耳朵。
Lin Xuan held the Nine Heaven Moon Ring in his palm; even with his composure, he couldn't help showing signs of tension as he released his divine sense to its full extent.
jǐn jǐn guò le bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， mó wù zhōng tū rán chuán lái liǎng shēng dà hǒu ， fēn bié shì xuě hú wáng yǔ gǔ mó ， shēng yīn zhōng dū bǎo hán tòng chǔ ， yě bù zhī dào jiū jìng shuí shèng shuí fù 。
仅仅过了半盏茶的功夫，魔雾中突然传来两声大吼，分别是雪狐王与古魔，声音中都饱含痛楚，也不知道究竟谁胜谁负。
Simultaneously, a white hurricane formed in mid-air, gently sweeping away the demon essence and dispersing it on both sides.
lín xuān jiāng jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán wò zài zhǎng zhōng 。 jí biàn yǐ tā de chéng fǔ ， liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de lù chū le yī sī jǐn zhāng zhī sè ， jiāng shén shí quán lì fàng chū 。
林轩将九天明月环握在掌中。即便以他的城府，脸上也不由得露出了一丝紧张之色，将神识全力放出。
The scene before him became clear once again. Lin Xuan looked and was taken aback by what he saw.
tóng shí yī yáng shǒu ， bàn kōng zhōng dùn shí chǎn shēng le yī gǔ bái méng méng de jù fēng ， dàn bìng bù wǎng bào ， jǐn jǐn shì jiāng mó qì yī juàn ， chuī xiàng liǎng biān 。
同时一扬手，半空中顿时产生了一股白蒙蒙的飓风，但并不枉暴，仅仅是将魔气一卷，吹像两边。
First came the Snow Fox King, who appeared extremely disheveled. He had been reduced to his most vulnerable state; his secret techniques were broken, and all nine avatars vanished. Most terrifyingly, only half of his body remained, cut in two from the waist down.
yǎn qián de yī qiè ， yòu chóng xīn qīng xī le qǐ lái 。
眼前的一切，又重新清晰了起来。
His face was pale as paper, with a small talisman on his abdomen trying to stop the bleeding while he trembled in agony.
lín xuān yī kàn ， què liǎn sè dà shì
林轩一看，却脸色大是
Lin Xuan felt a chill run through him; an advanced demon had been grievously injured in just one exchange. If it were him, things would be even worse. Could this be the end for him today?
xiān shì xuě hú wáng yìng rù le yǎn lián ， cǐ kè zhè wèi huà xíng hòu qī de dà yāo zú ， què láng bèi dào le jí chù ， mì shù bèi pò chú ， huà shēn quán dōu xiāo shī le ， yóu qí kě bù de shì ， tā jìng rán zhǐ shèng xià le bàn piàn shēn tǐ ， cóng yāo bù kāi shǐ 。 bèi zhǎn wèi le liǎng jié 。
先是雪狐王映入了眼帘，此刻这位化形后期的大妖族，却狼狈到了极处，秘术被破除，化身全都消失了，尤其可怖的是，他竟然只剩下了半片身体，从腰部开始。被斩为了两截。
He hadn't expected the ancient demon to speak the truth about its power after using genuine techniques. Lin Xuan regretted not following Mo Er’s advice and making a run for it when the two were fighting.
liǎn sè cāng bái rú zhǐ ， yī zhāng fú tiē zài xiǎo fù 。 jiāng xuè zhǐ zhù ， dàn què tòng dé hún shēn dǒu 。
脸色苍白如纸，一张符贴在小腹。将血止住，但却痛得浑身抖。
Despite his fear, Lin Xuan was far from an ordinary cultivator. He took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his unease—panic would only worsen his situation.
lín xuān shǒu jiǎo dōu yǒu xiē bīng liáng ， hòu qī de dà yāo shòu ， yí gè zhào miàn jiù shēn shòu zhòng shāng ， jiǎ rú huàn zuò zì jǐ ， qǐ bù shì huì gèng jiā de bù jì ， nán dào jīn tiān jìng rán huì yǔn luò zài zhè lǐ 。
林轩手脚都有些冰凉，后期的大妖兽，一个照面就身受重伤，假如换做自己，岂不是会更加的不济，难道今天竟然会陨落在这里。
Lin Xuan waved his hand, casting several spells in quick succession. The Nine Heaven Moon Ring began to emit a whistling sound as numerous ring shadows appeared around him.
méi xiǎng dào gǔ mó bìng fēi hú yán chuī xū ， shǐ yòng zhēn gōng fu hòu lì hài zhì cǐ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng hòu huǐ bù yǐ ， zǎo zhī dào gāng cái yīng gāi tīng cóng yuè ér de jiàn yì 。 chèn zhe liǎng rén huǒ bìng de shí hòu xié dǐ mǒ yóu dì ，，
没想到古魔并非胡言吹嘘，使用真功夫后厉害至此，林轩心中后悔不已，早知道刚才应该听从月儿的建议。趁着两人火并的时候鞋底抹油地，，
Each was different; some were the size of a bracelet, others as large as a meter in diameter, with varying colors—sky blue and fiery red, reflecting the dual nature of this treasure.
xīn zhōng jīng jù ， dàn lín xuān bì jìng yuǎn fēi pǔ tōng xiū shì kě bǐ ， xī le kǒu qì ， qiáng xíng jiāng bù ān yā le xià qù ” huāng luàn jiě jué bù liǎo wèn tí ， zhǐ huì ràng zì jǐ xiàn rù gèng jiā bù lì de jìng dì 。
心中惊惧，但林轩毕竟远非普通修士可比，吸了口气，强行将不安压了下去”慌乱解决不了问题，只会让自己陷入更加不利的境地。
After calming down, Lin Xuan looked towards the ancient demon again. His eyes widened in shock.
lín xuān yī dǒu shǒu ， shù dào fǎ jué jiē lián dǎ chū ， jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán kāi shǐ wū wū de míng xiǎng qǐ lái le 。 shù yǐ bǎi jì de huán yǐng zài tā de zhōu wéi fú xiàn 。
林轩一抖手，数道法诀接连打出，九天明月环开始呜呜的鸣响起来了。数以百计的环影在他的周围浮现。
This was the true form of a demon.
dà gè bù xiāng tóng 。
大各不相同。
His monk robe was completely torn, revealing his upper body. However, what he showed was not human; his height had increased to over three meters.
cóng zhí jìng zhàng xǔ dào xiǎo ruò shǒu zhuó ， yǒu de chéng tiān lán sè ， yǒu de zé bèi xiān hóng de huǒ yàn bāo guǒ ， qià hǎo fǎn yìng chū cǐ bǎo liǎng zhǒng jié rán xiāng fǎn de shǔ xìng lái le 。
从直径丈许到小若手镯，有的呈天蓝色，有的则被鲜红的火焰包裹，恰好反映出此宝两种截然相反的属性来了。
Countless thin tentacles grew from his bald head, each resembling living demon snakes that writhed and moved.
suí hòu lín xuān cái xīn zhōng yī sōng ， chóng xīn tái tóu wàng xiàng gǔ mó 。
随后林轩才心中一松，重新抬头望向古魔。
A sharp horn protruded from his forehead, extending a foot in length, covered with countless electric sparks.
zhè yī kàn jiù ràng tā dào xī le yī kǒu liáng qì 。
这一看就让他到吸了一口凉气。
The most repulsive part was his chest and abdomen. A woman’s face had appeared there, though it was quite beautiful, giving an eerie feeling.
yuán lái zhè cái shì yāo mó de zhēn miàn mù 。
原来这才是妖魔的真面目。
This form was slightly different from the original Gara Ancient Demon; after fusing with Tianxiu couple, they naturally influenced each other, leading to some changes.
sēng yī yǐ wán quán bèi chēng pò ， zhè jiā huo shàng shēn **， rán ér suǒ xiǎn lù chū lái de ， gēn běn jiù bù xiàng rén lèi de qū tǐ ， tā de shēn gāo bào zhǎng dào le sān mǐ yǒu yú 。
僧衣已完全被撑破，这家伙上身**，然而所显露出来的，根本就不像人类的躯体，他的身高暴涨到了三米有余。
Despite its terrifying appearance, Lin Xuan, having been a cultivator for so long, had seen many monsters. What truly frightened him was the demon essence becoming more substantial and dense on the ancient demon’s body.
guāng tóu shàng zhǎng chū liǎo wú shù xì ruò sī de chù shǒu 。 rán ér měi yī tiáo dōu xiàng yǒu shēng mìng de mó shé 。 bù tíng de niǔ qū bǎi dòng 。
光头上长出了无数细若丝的触手。然而每一条都像有生命的魔蛇。不停的扭曲摆动。
From an aura perspective, this demon already surpassed high-ranking cultivators.
é tóu wài tū ， mào chū le yī chǐ xǔ zhǎng de jiān jiǎo 。 nà jiǎo chéng huī bái sè ， biǎo miàn hái yǒu wú shù de diàn guāng zài shàng miàn chán rào zhe 。
额头外突，冒出了一尺许长的尖角。那角呈灰白色，表面还有无数的电光在上面缠绕着。
No wonder he could severely injure the Snow Fox King.
bù guò zuì ě xīn de hái shì tā de xiōng fù 。 nà lǐ jū rán duō chū le yī zhāng nǚ rén de miàn kǒng ， píng xīn lái shuō ， zhè zhāng liǎn hái pǒ wèi jiāo měi ， kě gěi rén de gǎn jué ， què guǐ yì dào le jí chù 。
不过最恶心的还是他的胸腹。那里居然多出了一张女人的面孔，平心来说，这张脸还颇为娇美，可给人的感觉，却诡异到了极处。
Of course, as one of the three Great Demons, this ice desert lord wasn’t just a show. The Gara Ancient Demon was also grievously injured; large holes had been opened in his abdomen and chest, bigger than bowls.
qí shí zhè yǔ jiā luó gǔ mó zuì chū de xíng tài yǐ jīng lüè yǒu bù tóng ， tiān xiù zhēn rén fū fù yǔ qí róng hé yǐ hòu ， hù xiāng yǐng xiǎng ， zì rán huì yǒu yī xiē gǎi biàn de 。
其实这与迦罗古魔最初的形态已经略有不同，天秀真人夫妇与其融合以后，互相影响，自然会有一些改变的。
However, no blood flowed out; the demon essence and flesh were constantly repairing themselves. Such injuries would be catastrophic for a cultivator, but the ancient demon seemed indifferent.
suī rán xíng tài yǒu xiē kě bù ， dàn lín xuān tà rù xiān dào zhè me jiǔ ， shén me guài wù méi yǒu jiàn guò ， zhēn zhèng ràng tā gǎn dào jì dàn de shì duì fāng shēn shàng de mó qì biàn dé yuè nóng yù ， yǐ jīng ruò yǒu shí zhì yì bān le 。
虽然形态有些可怖，但林轩踏入仙道这么久，什么怪物没有见过，真正让他感到忌惮的是对方身上的魔气变得越浓郁，已经若有实质一般了。
Lin Xuan’s eyes flickered as he looked at his right hand. The thick demon arm had transformed into a curved blade, about ten feet long. His left hand was covered in scales, forming an ugly claw.
zhì shǎo cóng qì shì shàng ， zhè jiā huo yǐ jīng yā guò le dà xiū shì 。
至少从气势上，这家伙已经压过了大修士。
The Snow Fox King’s gaze was filled with malice; he underestimated this demon and ended up in such a state. He raised his left hand, sending out countless green lightballs from his sleeve. After a moment of blurriness, each ball transformed into a sharp-beaked bird.
guài bù dé néng gòu jiāng xuě hú wáng dǎ gè bàn sǐ 。
怪不得能够将雪狐王打个半死。
With a flap of its wings, the birds swarmed towards the ancient demon!
dāng rán ， zuò wèi sān dà yāo wáng zhī yī ， zhè wèi bīng mò huāng yuán de bà zhǔ yě bìng fēi tú yǒu qí biǎo de rén wù ， jiā luó gǔ mó yī yàng shòu le zhòng shāng ， xiǎo fù yǔ xiōng kǒu gè bèi kāi le yí gè 。 bǐ wǎn kǒu hái dà de dòng 。
当然，做为三大妖王之一，这位冰漠荒原的霸主也并非徒有其表的人物，迦罗古魔一样受了重伤，小腹与胸口各被开了一个。比碗口还大的洞。
Meanwhile, the Snow Fox King turned into a white streak and flew downward to where his half-cut body lay.
rán ér yī jiù méi yǒu xuè liú chū ， mó qì yǔ ròu yá zài jìn xíng zhe bù tíng de xiū bǔ ， zhè zhǒng shāng shì fàng zài xiū shì shēn shàng fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn jiā luó gǔ mó jū rán yì diǎn yě bù zài hū 。
然而依旧没有血流出，魔气与肉芽在进行着不停的修补，这种伤势放在修士身上非同小可，但迦罗古魔居然一点也不在乎。
Although such injuries were terrifying, he still had a way to join his two halves. For a Great Demon, this was not an insurmountable problem.
lín xuān mù guāng wēi dòng ， yòu luò zài tā de yòu shǒu ， cū dà de mó bì yǐ jīng biàn chéng le yī bǐng wān dāo 。 yuē yǒu zhàng xǔ zhǎng ， zuǒ shǒu shàng zé lín jiǎ biàn bù ， wán quán biàn chéng le yī lì zhuǎ mú yàng de gǔ guài kě wù ！
林轩目光微动，又落在他的右手，粗大的魔臂已经变成了一柄弯刀。约有丈许长，左手上则鳞甲遍布，完全变成了一利爪模样的古怪可恶！
However, the ancient demon would not let him succeed. With a wide grin, dense demon essence surged like a hurricane. The birds didn’t stop the attack; instead, they were easily devoured by the ancient demon.
Lin Xuan did not feel elated. Instead, a hint of surprise flashed across his face before his expression turned grim. However, this was merely an avatar formed from the demon essence; it could actually block the full power of the Green Flame Sword.
This was somewhat troublesome. Lin Xuan began to reconsider whether he should immediately make a run for it.
