suí hòu zài yī yáng mó bì 。
随后再一扬魔臂。
Then, he raised his demonic arm.
“ chī chī ” pò kōng zhī shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ ， wú shù hēi sè de yǐng fú xiàn ， mì mì má má de lián zài yì qǐ 。
“嗤嗤”破空之声传入耳里，无数黑色的影浮现，密密麻麻的连在一起。
"Zhis zhis," the piercing sound of breaking air entered Lin Xuan's ears as countless black shadows emerged, densely packed together and flying forward with astonishing speed.
yǐ lìng rén chēng mù jié shé de dù xiàng qián fēi qù 。
以令人瞠目结舌的度向前飞去。
Their target was precisely the head of Snow Fox King. Naturally, he wouldn't let this powerful demon escape. In its full display of demonic energy, it posed an extremely dangerous threat to Tianxiu Huang. A slip could result in his essence body being assimilated by this ancient demon's corpse.
mù biāo zhèng shì xuě hú wáng de tóu lú ， tā zì rán bú huì jiāng zhè dà yāo zú fàng guò ， zhè zhǒng mó qì quán kāi de zhuàng tài duì tiān xiù huáng · rén lái shuō yě jí qí wēi xiǎn ， yí bù xiǎo xīn yuán yīng jiù yǒu kě néng bèi zhè jù jiā luó gǔ mó de qū tǐ gěi tóng huà le 。
目标正是雪狐王的头颅，他自然不会将这大妖族放过，这种魔气全开的状态对天秀黄·人来说也极其危险，一不小心元婴就有可能被这具迦罗古魔的躯体给同化了。
A fight must be initiated; otherwise, the consequences would be dire.
bì xū zhàn jué cái kě ， fǒu zé hòu guǒ kě jiù yǒu xiē bù tài miào le 。
必须战决才可，否则后果可就有些不太妙了。
To his surprise, his secret technique had failed to stop them at all. The Snow Fox King's face turned pale as he realized it was too late to dodge. A burst of green light emerged from his mouth, transforming into a dazzling beam that appeared several feet in front of him.
méi xiǎng dào zì jǐ fàng chū de mì shù méi yǒu qǐ dào dīng diǎn zǔ dǎng de xiào guǒ ， xuě hú wáng liǎn shàng yī xià háo wú xuè sè ， cǐ kè xiǎng shǎn yǐ luò lái bù jí le ， tā yī zhāng kǒu ， yī dào qīng xiá cóng zuǐ zhōng pēn bó ér chū ， huà wèi yī dào qīng guāng yào yǎn de níng hòu guāng mù ， chū xiàn zài le tā shēn qián shù zhàng zhī chù 。
没想到自己放出的秘术没有起到丁点阻挡的效果，雪狐王脸上一下毫无血色，此刻想闪已络来不及了，他一张口，一道青霞从嘴中喷薄而出，化为一道青光耀眼的凝厚光幕，出现在了他身前数丈之处。
Sizzle.
cī lā 。
刺啦。
The shadowy claws fiercely struck down.
nà xiē zhǎo yǐng hěn hěn zhuā xià 。
那些爪影狠狠抓下。
The light flickered and easily tore open a crack over a yard long. The shadows slipped through the breach.
guāng mù yī zhèn shǎn shuò ， suí hòu qīng yì biàn bèi sī kāi yī tiáo zhàng xǔ zhǎng de liè kǒu ， pōu xià de zhǎo yǐng yú guàn ér rù 。
光幕一阵闪烁，随后轻易便被撕开一条丈许长的裂口，剖下的爪影鱼贯而入。
Could he also fall?
“ nán dào zì jǐ yě yào yǔn luò ？” xuě hú wáng nǎo hǎi zhōng sà rán zhuǎn guò zhè ge niàn tou ， xīn zhōng yǐ shì hòu huǐ dào le jí chù ， zǎo zhī dào biàn shēn hòu de gǔ mó lì hài dào rú cǐ chéng dù ， gēn běn jiù bù yīng gāi yǔ tā yìng pèng yìng de 。
“难道自己也要陨落？”雪狐王脑海中飒然转过这个念头，心中已是后悔到了极处，早知道变身后的古魔厉害到如此程度，根本就不应该与他硬碰硬的。
Snow Fox King's mind flashed with this thought as he regretted his decision to transform into an ancient demon. He should have known that such power would make him more aggressive.
rán ér xiàn zài shuō shén me dōu yǐ jīng wǎn le ! dāng rán ， zuò wèi yī fāng bà zhǔ ， zài tā de xìn yǎng lǐ ， yě jué méi yǒu fàng qì zhī shuō ， sāi bāng yī gǔ ， zhěng gè liǎn kǒng dōu biàn chéng le xuè hóng zhī sè ， zhè wèi dà yāo wáng ， zhèng yào bù xī dài jià ， shǐ yòng mǒu zhǒng jìn jì de mì fǎ ， tū rán “ wū wū ” de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì wú shù de huán yǐng fú xiàn zài le tā de shēn cè 。
然而现在说什么都已经晚了!当然，做为一方霸主，在他的信仰里，也绝没有放弃之说，腮帮一鼓，整个脸孔都变成了血红之色，这位大妖王，正要不惜代价，使用某种禁忌的秘法，突然“呜呜”的声音传入耳朵，却是无数的环影浮现在了他的身侧。
With a howl, the ancient demon transformed into a faint green figure and vanished.
bú yòng shuō ， shì lín xuān chū shǒu xiàng zhù 。
不用说，是林轩出手相助。
Lin Xuan felt a chill in his heart; his divine sense no longer detected any trace of it. This concealment technique was even better than Nine Heaven Mystical Art.
yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， dāng rán míng bái chún wáng chǐ hán de dào lǐ ， suī rán tā yě xiǎng guò xié dǐ mǒ yóu dàn rú jīn shí jī què bú shì hé 。
以林轩的城府，当然明白唇亡齿寒的道理，虽然他也想过鞋底抹油但如今时机却不适合。
No wonder these demons from the higher realms were so formidable!
bié kàn jiā luó gǔ mó zhèng duì xuě hú wáng lián shī là shǒu ， kě lín xuān zǒng gǎn jué dào yǒu yī lǚ shén shí jiāng zì jǐ láo láo suǒ dìng zhe 。
别看迦罗古魔正对雪狐王连施辣手，可林轩总感觉到有一缕神识将自己牢牢锁定着。
Now, Lin Xuan couldn't help but focus on Snow Fox King's predicament. His hands formed a ball and several divine techniques were cast.
ruò xiàn zài táo pǎo ， shuō bù dìng fǎn ér huì luò rù duì fāng de yǔ tào 。
若现在逃跑，说不定反而会落入对方的圉套。
The Nine Heaven Moon Ring trembled as several ice walls appeared in front of him. The surface of the ice walls was covered with flames.
“ yí ？” jiàn lín xuān bù zǒu ， fǎn ér duì xuě hú wáng chū shǒu xiàng jiù ， gǔ mó de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī chà yì de guāng máng ， fǎ lì yī cuī ， nà xiē zhǎo yǐng yuè níng hòu ， dù yě kuài shàng sān fēn le 。
“咦？”见林轩不走，反而对雪狐王出手相救，古魔的眼中闪过一丝诧异的光芒，法力一催，那些爪影越凝厚，度也快上三分了。
This was an all-purpose treasure, and facing such a terrifying demon, Lin Xuan could only hope for the best without seeking glory.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu 。
林轩眉头一皱。
However, Snow Fox King's situation did not look good. A flash of black light revealed that the ancient demon had appeared in front of the Great Demon King.
yě huāng máng yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， shù yǐ bǎi jì de huán yǐng yī shǎn ， suí hòu chū xiàn zài le xuě hú wáng de miàn qián 。
也慌忙一道法诀打出，数以百计的环影一闪，随后出现在了雪狐王的面前。
"Is this... Teleportation?" Lin Xuan squinted his eyes. Compared to an essence body's technique, it seemed even more mysterious and powerful.
zhèng hǎo yǔ zhǎo yǐng hōng rán duì hàn ! dùn shí bào - liè zhī shēng chuán lái ， mì jí dé yǒu rú yǔ diǎn 。
正好与爪影轰然对撼!顿时爆-裂之声传来，密集得有如雨点。
Despite physical limitations, the ancient demon's power far exceeded that of a late-stage cultivator. He could even use some techniques from the separation stage.
liǎng zhě tóng shí xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
两者同时消失不见。
Snow Fox King's face turned pale as he gritted his teeth, revealing a long spear with ancient inscriptions on its surface. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the spear glowed with an eerie red color and was swung downward, creating several crescent-shaped slashes.
jiā luó gǔ mó zhòu le zhòu méi 。
迦罗古魔皱了皱眉。
"What is this?" The ancient demon showed surprise. These crescent slashes were not ordinary sword lights; space itself seemed to distort slightly.
guǒ rán bù kuì shì shuāng shǔ xìng bǎo wù ， shén tōng bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào qiáng dé duō ， jū rán néng gòu jiāng zì jǐ de mó zhǎo pò chú 。
果然不愧是双属性宝物，神通比自己想象的还要强得多，居然能够将自己的魔爪破除。
Although it couldn't tear through space, it shouldn't be underestimated. This spear was a rare ancient treasure with spatial properties.
dàn chōng ， xiàn zài kě méi yǒu xīn qíng lǐ huì lín xuān ， fàn yào yī kǒu yī kǒu chī ， dí rén yě yào yí gè yí gè de jiǎn chú ， zhǐ yào jiāng xuě hú wáng miè le ， zhè xiǎo zi suī rán shén tōng bù ruò ， dàn guī gēn jié dǐ ， bù guò yī yuán chū de xiū shì ， miè tā bù guò jǔ shǒu zhī láo ér yǐ 。
但忡，现在可没有心情理会林轩，饭要一口一口吃，敌人也要一个一个的剪除，只要将雪狐王灭了，这小子虽然神通不弱，但归根结底，不过一元初的修士，灭他不过举手之劳而已。
Such an attack could not be ignored. Space distortion might disrupt his teleportation.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， gǔ mó yǎng shī chū yī zhèn kuáng xiào ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， jìng rán huà wèi yī dào dàn dàn de biàn ！ zi xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
念及至此，古魔仰失出一阵狂笑，身形一闪，竟然化为一道淡淡的苄！子消失不见。
The ancient demon flicked its tongue and licked the corner of its mouth. It didn’t choose to retreat; after fully releasing demonic energy, Tianxiu Zhenren's essence body had already been affected.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yī lǐn ， shén shí zhōng zài yě méi yǒu sī háo gǎn yìng ， zhè zhǒng yǐn nì zhī fǎ ， jiǔ tiān xuán gōng yǔ qí xiāng bǐ ， yě yǒu suǒ bù jí 。
林轩心中一凛，神识中再也没有丝毫感应，这种隐匿之法，九天玄功与其相比，也有所不及。
Perhaps he hadn't noticed, but it was more aggressive than before.
bù kuì shì shàng jiè yāo mó ! cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān zì rán gù bù shàng bāng xuě hú wáng le ， shuāng shǒu huí lóng ， xū bào chéng qiú ， jiē lián jǐ dào fǎ jué dǎ chū 。
不愧是上界妖魔!此时此刻，林轩自然顾不上帮雪狐王了，双手回笼，虚抱成球，接连几道法诀打出。
With a howl, the ancient demon released a torrent of pure demonic energy that condensed into ten curved blades, each about a foot long, resembling cow horns.
jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán yī chàn ， jǐ guàng bīng qiáng chū xiàn zài le tā de shēn qián ， bīng qiáng biǎo miàn ， hái yǒu xióng xióng rán guī de huǒ yàn 。
九天明月环一颤，几逛冰墙出现在了他的身前，冰墙表面，还有熊熊燃瑰的火焰。
Several flashes of black shadows revealed that the demon used its tentacles to swing these blades. The blade shadows clashed with Snow Fox King.
cǐ nǎi gōng fáng yī tǐ de bǎo wù ， miàn duì zhè kě pà de yāo mó ， lín xuān yě zhǐ néng shì bù qiú yǒu gōng dàn qiú wú guò 。
此乃攻防一体的宝物，面对这可怕的妖魔，林轩也只能是不求有功但求无过。
The sound of sharp impacts echoed as neither side gained an advantage in this short time. However, Lin Xuan knew that Snow Fox King's defeat was inevitable due to his severe injuries.
rán ér xuě hú wáng nà biān de qíng xíng què yǒu xiē bù miào le ， hēi máng yī shǎn ， gǔ mó jìng rán chū xiàn zài le dà yāo wáng de qián miàn 。
然而雪狐王那边的情形却有些不妙了，黑芒一闪，古魔竟然出现在了大妖王的前面。
"Master, now is our chance! Escape while they are occupied!" Mo'er's voice entered his ears, but Lin Xuan remained unmoved. The girl underestimated the situation.
“ zhè shì … shùn yí ？” lín xuān yǎn jīng shàng mī ， yǔ yuán yīng shī zhǎn chū lái de fǎ shù xiāng bǐ ， míng xiǎn hái yào shén miào yī xiē 。
“这是…瞬移？”林轩眼睛上眯，与元婴施展出来的法术相比，明显还要神妙一些。
Escape?
jǐn guǎn shēn tǐ shòu dào xiàn zhì ， dàn jiā luó gǔ mó de shén tōng yě yuǎn fēi pǔ tōng de hòu qī xiū shì kě bǐ ， tā shèn zhì néng gòu shǐ yòng shǎo shù lí hé qī de mì shù 。
尽管身体受到限制，但迦罗古魔的神通也远非普通的后期修士可比，他甚至能够使用少数离合期的秘术。
It wouldn't be so easy. With the ancient demon's displayed power, he might have a slim chance outside, but in this confined space, even if he temporarily escaped, he would eventually fall.
xuě hú wáng yǐ shì liǎn sè dà biàn le ， yī yǎo yá ， shǒu zhōng fú xiàn chū le yī gēn zhǎng gē 。
雪狐王已是脸色大变了，一咬牙，手中浮现出了一根长戈。
Now it wasn’t just life or death; with another person, he might have given up hope long ago, but Lin Xuan’s eyes flickered as he continued to think calmly.
biǎo miàn fú wén biàn bù ， kàn shàng qù fēi cháng de gǔ piáo 。
表面符文遍布，看上去非常的古朴。
His left hand was hidden in his sleeve, secretly holding an jade box.
yī kǒu jīng xuè pēn chū ， nà zhǎng gē xī shōu yǐ hòu ， biǎo miàn fú xiàn chū yī céng yāo yì de fēi hóng zhī sè ， rán hòu měng rán xiàng xià huī chū ， shù shí dào hóng sè de yuè yá chū xiàn le 。
一口精血喷出，那长戈吸收以后，表面浮现出一层妖异的绯红之色，然后猛然向下挥出，数十道红色的月牙出现了。
He couldn't fight directly; onlyoutwit means "to outwit" or "to take by strategy." In a broader context, it can also refer to "wisely obtaining" something. Given the term's usage, here is the translation: (wisdom) could save him. This item might bring a glimmer of hope.
“ zhè shì shén me ？” jiā luó gǔ mó liú lù chū yī sī jīng è ， nà xiē yuè yá bìng fēi pǔ tōng de dāo guāng ， kōng jiān jìng rán chū xiàn le qīng wēi de niǔ qū xiàn xiàng 。
“这是什么？”迦罗古魔流露出一丝惊愕，那些月牙并非普通的刀光，空间竟然出现了轻微的扭曲现象。
Lin Xuan waited patiently while deliberately showing fear on his face.
suī rán bù néng zuò dào kōng jiān sī liè ， dàn yě bù róng xiǎo qiáo ， zhè zhǎng gē jū rán shì yī hǎn jiàn de dài yǒu kòng jiān shǔ xìng lèi de gǔ bǎo 。
虽然不能做到空间撕裂，但也不容小瞧，这长戈居然是一罕见的带有空间属性类的古宝。
The ancient demon didn’t suspect anything. It did indeed focus some divine sense to monitor Lin Xuan’s movements, and seeing this expression, it assumed he was frightened out of his wits, feeling pleased with itself.
zhè zhǒng dōng xī ， biàn shì zài shàng jiè yě pǒ wèi zhēn xī ， gǔ mó bù yóu de yòu jīng yòu xǐ 。
这种东西，便是在上界也颇为珍稀，古魔不由得又惊又喜。
Hmph, no matter how powerful, he was still just a first-stage cultivator. After their earlier battle, he had tasted some bitterness from Lin Xuan. Now, seeing the young man's stunned reaction, he felt a strange satisfaction.
zhè zhǒng gōng jī bù kě xiǎo shì 。
这种攻击不可小视。
But it couldn't continue like this; Tianxiu Zhenren could feel demonic energy gradually invading his essence body. With a fierce expression, he surged forward.
kōng jiān niǔ qū yǒu kě néng pò huài zì jǐ de shùn yí 。
空间扭曲有可能破坏自己的瞬移。
Snow Fox King was terrified and no longer had any reservations. Another mouthful of blood was spat out, the spear’s surface turning even more eerie red.
gǔ mó shēn chū shé tou ， tiǎn le tiǎn zuǐ jiǎo ， tā bìng méi yǒu xuǎn zé zàn bì fēng máng ， jiāng mó qì wán quán shì fàng yǐ hòu ， tiān xiù zhēn rén de yuán yīng qí shí yǐ jīng shòu dào le yī xiē yǐng xiǎng 。
古魔伸出舌头，舔了舔嘴角，他并没有选择暂避锋芒，将魔气完全释放以后，天秀真人的元婴其实已经受到了一些影响。
His face showed intense hatred. Even if he escaped this time, his cultivation level would likely drop.
huò xǔ tā zì jǐ hái méi yǒu zhù yì ， dàn yǔ yǐ qián xiāng bǐ ， míng xiǎn yào hào dòu le xiē 。
或许他自己还没有注意，但与以前相比，明显要好斗了些。
With a heavy heart, he swung his ancient treasure, creating a crescent light blade over seven feet long. Sizzle, space was actually torn open, though only a few centimeters long, it was indeed breaking the void.
gǔ mó dà jiē yī zhāng ， chū yī shēng qī lì de kuáng háo ， jīng chún de mó qì rú tóng pēn quán yī
古魔大喈一张，出一声凄厉的狂嚎，精纯的魔气如同喷泉一
This was a technique that even separation-stage cultivators could perform. Snow Fox King's resentful strike, combined with his spatial attribute treasure, nearly succeeded.
bān kuáng yǒng ， níng chéng le mǐn shí bǐng wān dāo 。
般狂涌，凝成了敏十柄弯刀。
The ancient demon let out a long howl as all its tentacles stood straight. Several black blades began to merge into one giant black curved blade, slicing at the red crescent light blade with a serious expression.
jǐn yǒu chǐ xǔ ， wān wān de jiù xiàng niú jiǎo yī yàng 。
仅有尺许，弯弯的就像牛角一样。
Boom!
suí hòu hēi yǐng lián shǎn ， cǐ mó jìng rán yòng tóu dǐng shàng de chù shǒu jiāng zhè xiē wān qīng qīng yī shuǎi ， dāo yǐng fú xiàn ， yǔ xuě hú wáng duì hōng le qǐ lái 。
随后黑影连闪，此魔竟然用头顶上的触手将这些弯轻轻一甩，刀影浮现，与雪狐王对轰了起来。
Demonic energy and magical power clashed, expanding like an inflated balloon, bursting in all directions.
qīng cuì de zhuàng jī shēng bù jué yú ěr ， duǎn shí jiān nèi gān - fāng jìng bù fēn shèng fù ， dàn lín xuān qīng chǔ ， xuě hú wáng luò bài shì chí zǎo de ， bì jìng tā yǐ shēn fù zhòng shāng le 。
清脆的撞击声不绝于耳，短时间内苷-方竞不分胜负，但林轩清楚，雪狐王落败是迟早的，毕竟他已身负重伤了。
Residual spiritual energy formed a storm that forced Snow Fox King to release a protective barrier. Only then did he relax his eyes and look around.
“ shào yé ， xiàn zài zhèng shì jī huì ， chèn zhe tā liǎ xiāng chí ， wǒ men táo ba !” yuè ér de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān què bù wèi suǒ dòng ， zhè yā tou xiǎng dé tài jiǎn dān le 。
“少爷，现在正是机会，趁着他俩相持，我们逃吧!”月儿的声音传入耳朵，林轩却不为所动，这丫头想得太简单了。
But soon, he widened his eyes as the ancient demon ignored the violent airflow and charged forward, reaching him in an instant.
táo ？
逃？
"You...!" Snow Fox King was speechless as he tried to resist but found his magical power had vanished.
nǎ yǒu nà me qīng sōng 。 yǐ duì fāng suǒ zhǎn shì chū lái de jīng rén shén tōng ， rú guǒ zài wài miàn ， huò xǔ zì jǐ hái yǒu nà me yī fēn liǎng fēn de xī wàng ， kě zài zhè fēng bì de kōng jiān zhōng ， jiù suàn zàn shí táo tuō ， dàn zuì hòu yě miǎn bù liǎo yǔn luò 。
哪有那么轻松。以对方所展示出来的惊人神通，如果在外面，或许自己还有那么一分两分的希望，可在这封闭的空间中，就算暂时逃脱，但最后也免不了陨落。
It wasn't surprising; although he was a late-stage demon, severe injuries and consecutive use of secret techniques left him nearly drained of energy.
rú jīn yǐ bú shì nǐ sǐ jiù shì wǒ huó ， rú guǒ huàn yí gè rén ， kǒng pà yǐ jīng jué wàng le ， dàn lín xuān mù guāng shǎn shuò 。 yī jiù zài lěng jìng de sī suǒ 。
如今已不是你死就是我活，如果换一个人，恐怕已经绝望了，但林轩目光闪烁。依旧在冷静的思索。
This was a good opportunity. The ancient demon wouldn’t miss it. A black shadow flashed as its tail pierced Snow Fox King's heart.
tā zuǒ shǒu suō zài yī xiù zhī zhōng ， shǒu lǐ qiāo qiāo kòu shàng le yí gè yù hé 。
他左手缩在衣袖之中，手里悄悄扣上了一个玉盒。
Finally, this troublesome enemy was eliminated. The ancient demon showed satisfaction but suddenly raised an eyebrow, sensing something and turned his head.
bù néng lì dí 。 zhǐ néng zhì qǔ ， zhè dōng xī yě xǔ néng wèi zì jǐ dài lái yī xiàn shēng jī 。
不能力敌。只能智取，这东西也许能为自己带来一线生机。
A green light descended from above.
lín xuān lěng jìng de zài děng dài shí jī ， liǎn shàng què gù yì lù chū yī fù hài pà de biǎo qíng 。
林轩冷静的在等待时机，脸上却故意露出一副害怕的表情。
Lin Xuan had attacked from the side when the ancient demon was distracted by its victory.
gǔ mó bìng méi yǒu shēng yí ， tā què shí fēn chū yī zhāng fēn shén shí zài zhù yì lín xuān de dòng jìng ， jiàn le zhè fú shén tài ， hái yǐ wéi lín xuān bèi xià shǎ le ， xīn zhōng àn zì dé yì 。
古魔并没有生疑，他确实分出一鄣分神识在注意林轩的动静，见了这幅神态，还以为林轩被吓傻了，心中暗自得意。
"Achilles' heel!"
hēng ， zài zěn me lì hài ， yě bù guò yī yuán chū de xiū shì ér yǐ 。 gāng gāng nà fān jiāo shǒu ， tā céng jīng chī guò lín xuān yì diǎn kǔ tóu ， cǐ kè jiàn zhè shào nián bèi xià dé mù dèng kǒu dāi de yàng zi ， xīn zhōng bié yǒu yī fān kuài yì 。
哼，再怎么厉害，也不过一元初的修士而已。刚刚那番交手，他曾经吃过林轩一点苦头，此刻见这少年被吓得目瞪口呆的样子，心中别有一番快意。
The ancient demon sneered as it used a transformed demonic claw to catch the green fire sword. The purple scales glowed with demonic light, their hardness shocking.
dàn yě bù néng zhè yàng jì xù dān gē xià qù ， tiān xiù zhēn rén yě gǎn jué dào mó qì zhú jiàn kāi shǐ qīn xí zì jǐ de yuán yīng zhī tǐ 。 liǎn shàng lì sè yī xiǎn ， huǎng shēn xiàng qián pū qù 。
但也不能这样继续耽搁下去，天秀真人也感觉到魔气逐渐开始侵袭自己的元婴之体。脸上厉色一显，晃身向前扑去。
Failing to stop him, Lin Xuan quickly vanished. The ancient demon didn’t pursue; this youth would be his prey sooner or later. He had no idea what secret technique he used, as Snow Fox King's soul couldn't escape its body.
xuě hú wáng dà jù 。 cǐ shí nǎ lǐ hái gǎn yǒu qí tā de gù jì ， zài cì yī kǒu jīng xuè pēn chū ， nà zhǎng gē biǎo miàn de fēi hóng biàn dé yuè de yāo yì 。
雪狐王大惧。此时哪里还敢有其他的顾忌，再次一口精血喷出，那长戈表面的绯红变得越的妖异。
He decided to enjoy the demon’s flesh first.
liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yuàn hèn wú bǐ ， zhè cì jiù suàn néng gòu táo tuō ， kǒng pà zì jǐ de jìng jiè yě huì
脸上的表情怨恨无比，这次就算能够逃脱，恐怕自己的境界也会
Lin Xuan seemed a frightened bird, rushing into Snow Fox King's embrace before using Nine Heaven Microsteps to disappear elsewhere.
diào luò
掉落
Lin Xuan's panicked appearance satisfied the ancient demon. However, at that moment, Lin Xuan had secretly opened his sleeve and applied black powder from an jade box onto Snow Fox King’s wounds.
jiāng shǒu zhōng de gǔ bǎo hěn hěn xiàng xià huī luò ， yī dào zhí jìng zú yǒu qī bā zhàng zhǎng de yuè yá guāng rèn chū xiàn le ， cī lā ， zhè yī huí ， kōng jiān jū rán zhēn de bèi sī pò ， jǐn guǎn nà dào liè wén hěn xiǎo ， jǐn yǒu jǐ lí mǐ zhǎng ， dàn què què shí shí shì pò suì xū kōng 。
将手中的古宝狠狠向下挥落，一道直径足有七八丈长的月牙光刃出现了，刺啦，这一回，空间居然真的被撕破，尽管那道裂纹很小，仅有几厘米长，但确确实实是破碎虚空。
This was refined essence of demonic peach, more toxic than any poison. After ingestion, it would almost certainly cause a sudden drop in cultivation level.
zhè kě suàn shì lí hé qī xiū shì cái néng shī zhǎn de shén tōng ， xuě hú wáng hán hèn yī jī ， zài jiā shàng shǒu zhōng kōng jiān shǔ xìng de bǎo wù ， miǎn qiǎng yě zuò dào le 。
这可算是离合期修士才能施展的神通，雪狐王含恨一击，再加上手中空间属性的宝物，勉强也做到了。
This was his only hope!
:!
:!
He just didn’t know how long the process would take. Lin Xuan felt anxious but was relieved that the ancient demon hadn't noticed his actions and consumed Snow Fox King's half-body.
gǔ mó yī shēng cháng xiào 。 suǒ yǒu de chù shǒu quán bù zhí shù ， shù shí bǐng hēi rèn kāi shǐ róng hé ， biàn chéng yī bǐng jù dà de hēi sè wān dāo ， duì zhe nà hóng sè de yuè yá guāng rèn ， biǎo qíng níng zhòng de tǒu xié zhǎn
古魔一声长啸。所有的触手全部直竖，数十柄黑刃开始融合，变成一柄巨大的黑色弯刀，对着那红色的月牙光刃，表情凝重的钭斜斩
Satisfied, he licked his tongue and waved his hand, releasing a cloud of demonic fog to wrap Snow Fox King’s fallen feet and swallow them whole.
Then, he raised his demonic arm.
"Zhis zhis," the piercing sound of breaking air entered Lin Xuan's ears as countless black shadows emerged, densely packed together and flying forward with astonishing speed.
Their target was precisely the head of Snow Fox King. Naturally, he wouldn't let this powerful demon escape. In its full display of demonic energy, it posed an extremely dangerous threat to Tianxiu Huang. A slip could result in his essence body being assimilated by this ancient demon's corpse.
A fight must be initiated; otherwise, the consequences would be dire.
To his surprise, his secret technique had failed to stop them at all. The Snow Fox King's face turned pale as he realized it was too late to dodge. A burst of green light emerged from his mouth, transforming into a dazzling beam that appeared several feet in front of him.
Sizzle.
The shadowy claws fiercely struck down.
The light flickered and easily tore open a crack over a yard long. The shadows slipped through the breach.
Could he also fall?
Snow Fox King's mind flashed with this thought as he regretted his decision to transform into an ancient demon. He should have known that such power would make him more aggressive.
With a howl, the ancient demon transformed into a faint green figure and vanished.
Lin Xuan felt a chill in his heart; his divine sense no longer detected any trace of it. This concealment technique was even better than Nine Heaven Mystical Art.
No wonder these demons from the higher realms were so formidable!
Now, Lin Xuan couldn't help but focus on Snow Fox King's predicament. His hands formed a ball and several divine techniques were cast.
The Nine Heaven Moon Ring trembled as several ice walls appeared in front of him. The surface of the ice walls was covered with flames.
This was an all-purpose treasure, and facing such a terrifying demon, Lin Xuan could only hope for the best without seeking glory.
However, Snow Fox King's situation did not look good. A flash of black light revealed that the ancient demon had appeared in front of the Great Demon King.
"Is this... Teleportation?" Lin Xuan squinted his eyes. Compared to an essence body's technique, it seemed even more mysterious and powerful.
Despite physical limitations, the ancient demon's power far exceeded that of a late-stage cultivator. He could even use some techniques from the separation stage.
Snow Fox King's face turned pale as he gritted his teeth, revealing a long spear with ancient inscriptions on its surface. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the spear glowed with an eerie red color and was swung downward, creating several crescent-shaped slashes.
"What is this?" The ancient demon showed surprise. These crescent slashes were not ordinary sword lights; space itself seemed to distort slightly.
Although it couldn't tear through space, it shouldn't be underestimated. This spear was a rare ancient treasure with spatial properties.
Such an attack could not be ignored. Space distortion might disrupt his teleportation.
The ancient demon flicked its tongue and licked the corner of its mouth. It didn’t choose to retreat; after fully releasing demonic energy, Tianxiu Zhenren's essence body had already been affected.
Perhaps he hadn't noticed, but it was more aggressive than before.
With a howl, the ancient demon released a torrent of pure demonic energy that condensed into ten curved blades, each about a foot long, resembling cow horns.
Several flashes of black shadows revealed that the demon used its tentacles to swing these blades. The blade shadows clashed with Snow Fox King.
The sound of sharp impacts echoed as neither side gained an advantage in this short time. However, Lin Xuan knew that Snow Fox King's defeat was inevitable due to his severe injuries.
"Master, now is our chance! Escape while they are occupied!" Mo'er's voice entered his ears, but Lin Xuan remained unmoved. The girl underestimated the situation.
Escape?
It wouldn't be so easy. With the ancient demon's displayed power, he might have a slim chance outside, but in this confined space, even if he temporarily escaped, he would eventually fall.
Now it wasn’t just life or death; with another person, he might have given up hope long ago, but Lin Xuan’s eyes flickered as he continued to think calmly.
His left hand was hidden in his sleeve, secretly holding an jade box.
He couldn't fight directly; onlyoutwit means "to outwit" or "to take by strategy." In a broader context, it can also refer to "wisely obtaining" something. Given the term's usage, here is the translation: (wisdom) could save him. This item might bring a glimmer of hope.
Lin Xuan waited patiently while deliberately showing fear on his face.
The ancient demon didn’t suspect anything. It did indeed focus some divine sense to monitor Lin Xuan’s movements, and seeing this expression, it assumed he was frightened out of his wits, feeling pleased with itself.
Hmph, no matter how powerful, he was still just a first-stage cultivator. After their earlier battle, he had tasted some bitterness from Lin Xuan. Now, seeing the young man's stunned reaction, he felt a strange satisfaction.
But it couldn't continue like this; Tianxiu Zhenren could feel demonic energy gradually invading his essence body. With a fierce expression, he surged forward.
Snow Fox King was terrified and no longer had any reservations. Another mouthful of blood was spat out, the spear’s surface turning even more eerie red.
His face showed intense hatred. Even if he escaped this time, his cultivation level would likely drop.
With a heavy heart, he swung his ancient treasure, creating a crescent light blade over seven feet long. Sizzle, space was actually torn open, though only a few centimeters long, it was indeed breaking the void.
This was a technique that even separation-stage cultivators could perform. Snow Fox King's resentful strike, combined with his spatial attribute treasure, nearly succeeded.
The ancient demon let out a long howl as all its tentacles stood straight. Several black blades began to merge into one giant black curved blade, slicing at the red crescent light blade with a serious expression.
Boom!
Demonic energy and magical power clashed, expanding like an inflated balloon, bursting in all directions.
Residual spiritual energy formed a storm that forced Snow Fox King to release a protective barrier. Only then did he relax his eyes and look around.
But soon, he widened his eyes as the ancient demon ignored the violent airflow and charged forward, reaching him in an instant.
"You...!" Snow Fox King was speechless as he tried to resist but found his magical power had vanished.
It wasn't surprising; although he was a late-stage demon, severe injuries and consecutive use of secret techniques left him nearly drained of energy.
This was a good opportunity. The ancient demon wouldn’t miss it. A black shadow flashed as its tail pierced Snow Fox King's heart.
Finally, this troublesome enemy was eliminated. The ancient demon showed satisfaction but suddenly raised an eyebrow, sensing something and turned his head.
A green light descended from above.
Lin Xuan had attacked from the side when the ancient demon was distracted by its victory.
"Achilles' heel!"
The ancient demon sneered as it used a transformed demonic claw to catch the green fire sword. The purple scales glowed with demonic light, their hardness shocking.
Failing to stop him, Lin Xuan quickly vanished. The ancient demon didn’t pursue; this youth would be his prey sooner or later. He had no idea what secret technique he used, as Snow Fox King's soul couldn't escape its body.
He decided to enjoy the demon’s flesh first.
Lin Xuan seemed a frightened bird, rushing into Snow Fox King's embrace before using Nine Heaven Microsteps to disappear elsewhere.
Lin Xuan's panicked appearance satisfied the ancient demon. However, at that moment, Lin Xuan had secretly opened his sleeve and applied black powder from an jade box onto Snow Fox King’s wounds.
This was refined essence of demonic peach, more toxic than any poison. After ingestion, it would almost certainly cause a sudden drop in cultivation level.
This was his only hope!
He just didn’t know how long the process would take. Lin Xuan felt anxious but was relieved that the ancient demon hadn't noticed his actions and consumed Snow Fox King's half-body.
Satisfied, he licked his tongue and waved his hand, releasing a cloud of demonic fog to wrap Snow Fox King’s fallen feet and swallow them whole.
