我和你们没有丝毫交情，在下来到此地，只不过想与金灵仙子换取一点东西，两位想要拼斗，随意就行，何必将林某牵扯进去，在下可没有兴趣。”林轩怪眼一番，这金老怪好没由来，紫莲木又不是休么珍贵的宝物，他居然想拉自己对付后期的老怪物。
I have no connection with you. I came here merely to trade something with Fairy Golden Spirit. You two can fight if you wish, but don't drag me into it; I'm not interested in this." Lin Xuan gave them a strange look. This old monster of gold had come out of nowhere. Purple Lotus Wood wasn’t such a precious treasure, yet he actually wanted to involve me in fighting an old monster from the later stage.
“ dào yǒu xiān bú yào jiāng huà shuō sǐ ， qiě tīng tīng wǒ de tiáo jiàn zài shuō 。” duì yú lín xuān de fǎn yìng ， jīn lǎo guài bù jí bù nù ， sì hū zǎo jiù zài yì liào zhī zhōng 。
“道友先不要将话说死，且听听我的条件在说。”对于林轩的反应，金老怪不急不怒，似乎早就在意料之中。
"Friend, don't be so sure about that just now; listen to my terms first." The old monster of gold was neither angry nor impatient with Lin Xuan's reaction, as if it had anticipated this response.
“ hēng ， xìng jīn de ， nǐ mò fēi yǐ shén zhì cuò luàn le ， zhēn yǐ wéi píng nǐ ， jiù néng gòu duì fù dé le lǎo fū ， nǐ nán dào bù zhī dào zhōng qī yǔ hòu qī ， suī rán zhǐ xiāng chà yí gè jìng jiè ， dàn shí lì què pàn ruò yún ní ， lǎo fū xiǎng yào miè shā nǐ ， bù guò jǔ shǒu zhī láo ér yǐ 。” huáng méi zhēn rén yǐ nù jí fǎn xiào ， tā yǔ jīn lǎo guài suī yǒu guò jié ， què fēi bù sǐ bù xiū ， yuán běn lái dào cǐ chù ， yě jǐn jǐn shì xún xì lè suǒ yī jiàn zhòng bǎo ， méi xiǎng dào duì fāng rú cǐ xiāo zhāng ， ér qiě dāng zhe zì jǐ de miàn xún qǐ le bāng shǒu ， jiǎn zhí kū xiào bù dé ， hú xū dōu kāi shǐ luàn hào le 。
“哼，姓金的，你莫非已神智错乱了，真以为凭你，就能够对付得了老夫，你难道不知道中期与后期，虽然只相差一个境界，但实力却判若云泥，老夫想要灭杀你，不过举手之劳而已。”黄眉真人已怒极反笑，他与金老怪虽有过节，却非不死不休，原本来到此处，也仅仅是寻隙勒索一件重宝，没想到对方如此嚣张，而且当着自己的面寻起了帮手，简直哭笑不得，胡须都开始乱颢了。
"Hmph. Golden fellow, are you really out of your mind? Do you truly believe you can handle me? Don’t you know that the difference between middle and late stages is like heaven and earth in terms of strength? It would be a mere gesture for me to kill you." Yellow Eyebrow Sage was so furious he laughed. Although he had some grudges with this old monster, it wasn't a matter of life or death. He originally came here just to find an opportunity to extort a major treasure. Yet, the other party was unexpectedly arrogant and even sought help in front of him, leaving him speechless with laughter. His beard started trembling.
“ lín dào yǒu ， wǒ zhī dào xiàn zài ràng nǐ biǎo tài ， yǒu diǎn liǎng wèi qí nán ， bù guò yī huì er wǒ yǔ zhè huáng méi lǎo zéi dòng shǒu de shí hòu ， hái qǐng nǐ zuò bì shàng guān ， zì jǐ gēn jù xíng shì pàn duàn ， rú guǒ nǐ jué de kě yǐ zhù wǒ ， bìng zuì zhōng miè shā lǎo zéi de huà ， wǒ de chéng nuò yí dìng yǒu xiào ， huì fù yǔ ràng nǐ mǎn yì de bào chóu 。” shuō dào cǐ chù ， jīn lǎo guài de shēng yīn tū rán dī xià qù le ， zuǐ chún gǎn dòng ， què shì chuán yīn xiàng lín xuān shuō le jù shén me 。
“林道友，我知道现在让你表态，有点魉为其难，不过一会儿我与这黄眉老贼动手的时候，还请你作壁上观，自己根据形势判断，如果你觉得可以助我，并最终灭杀老贼的话，我的承诺一定有效，会付予让你满意的报酬。”说到此处，金老怪的声音突然低下去了，嘴唇橄动，却是传音像林轩说了句什么。
"Friend Lin, I know it’s difficult for you to decide now, but please observe from the sidelines when I fight this old thief Yellow Eyebrow. If you think you can assist me and ultimately kill the old bastard, my promise will be valid and I’ll give you a satisfactory reward." The old monster of gold suddenly lowered his voice, whispering something into Lin Xuan's ear.
lín xuān yuán běn yī liǎn bù yǐ wéi rán de shén sè ， què tū rán tái qǐ tóu ， yǎn zhōng jīng máng shǎn shuò ， suī rán hěn kuài jiù píng jìng xià lái ， dàn zhè yī qiè ， quán dōu bèi huáng méi zhēn rén kàn jiàn 。
林轩原本一脸不以为然的神色，却突然抬起头，眼中精芒闪烁，虽然很快就平静下来，但这一切，全都被黄眉真人看见。
Lin Xuan originally had an expression of disbelief, but he suddenly raised his head. His eyes flashed with sharp light, though they quickly calmed down. All these were seen by Yellow Eyebrow Sage, who felt a strange unease in his heart.
tā xīn zhōng mò míng de gǎn dào yī zhèn bù ān 。
他心中莫名的感到一阵不安。
Although he didn’t know what conditions the other party offered, that Lin fellow clearly seemed to be tempted!
suī rán bù zhī dào duì fāng jiū jìng xǔ nuò le shén me tiáo jiàn ， dàn nà xìng lín de xiǎo zi míng xiǎn yǒu xiē dòng xīn le a ！
虽然不知道对方究竟许诺了什么条件，但那姓林的小子明显有些动心了啊！
Of course, even if the other party was really hot-headed, two middle-stage cultivators weren't something he would take lightly. He had already used his divine sense to carefully check and found no formidable restrictions around here.
dāng rán ， jí biàn duì fāng zhēn tóu nǎo rè ， qū qū liǎng míng zhōng qī xiū shì tā yě bù fàng zài yǎn zhōng ， tā yǐ yòng shén shí zǐ xì chá tàn guò ， zhè fù jìn bìng méi yǒu shén me lì hài jìn zhì de 。
当然，即便对方真头脑热，区区两名中期修士他也不放在眼中，他已用神识仔细查探过，这附近并没有什么厉害禁制的。
However, why did they want his life? Yellow Eyebrow Sage felt puzzled despite his anger. The grudges between them seemed trivial.
zhǐ bù guò duì fāng wèi shén me xiǎng yào zì jǐ de mìng ne ， huáng méi zhēn rén shí nù zhī yú ， yě yǒu diǎn yí huò ， shuāng fāng de guò jié ， míng míng méi yǒu shén me dà bù liǎo de 。
只不过对方为什么想要自己的命呢，黄眉真人蚀怒之余，也有点疑惑，双方的过节，明明没有什么大不了的。
But he didn’t intend to delve deeper. A fierce look flashed in his eyes as he raised his left hand. A blue sword emerged from his sleeve and slashed down with great force.
bù guò tā yě bù dǎ suàn shēn jiū le ， yǎn zhōng lì sè yī shǎn ， zuǒ shǒu yǐ jīng nüè tái le qǐ lái ， cóng xiù páo zhōng yú yóu chū yī bǐng lán sè de xiǎo jiàn ， hěn hěn de xiàng xià yī zhǎn 。
不过他也不打算深究了，眼中厉色一闪，左手已经虐抬了起来，从袖袍中鱼游出一柄蓝色的小剑，狠狠的向下一斩。
Seven or eight streaks of sword energy appeared mid-air, rushing towards the target like thunderbolts.
qī bā dào jiàn qì zài bàn kōng zhōng fú xiàn ， shì ruò bēn léi bān de jī shè shèng lái 。
七八道剑气在半空中浮现，势若奔雷般的激射圣来。
The old monster of gold squinted his eyes. His reaction was swift; he took a breath, and a layer of light surfaced on his body, swirling like a golden bodhisattva.
jīn lǎo guài mī le mī yǎn ， tā de fǎn yìng yě qiè ， xī le kǒu qì ， yī céng pāng ， guāng cóng tā de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn fú xí chū lái ， guāng yùn liú zhuǎn ， jiù fǎng fú yī jīn shēn luó hàn 。
金老怪眯了眯眼，他的反应也怯，吸了口气，一层乓，光从他的身体表面浮觋出来，光晕流转，就仿佛一金身罗汉。
But this wasn’t a Buddhist cultivation technique but some strange demon power!
dàn zhè míng xiǎn bú shì fó mén gōng fǎ ， ér shì mǒu zhǒng guǐ yì de yāo zú shén tōng a ！
但这明显不是佛门功法，而是某种诡异的妖族神通啊！
When those seven or eight sword energies struck, the sound of 'puff puff puff' entered Lin Xuan's ears. The old monster was sent flying but remained unharmed.
nà qī bā jiàn qì zhǎn shàng qù ， pū pū pū de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr lǐ ， jīn lǎo guài bèi pī fēi le chū qù ， què píng ān wú shì 。
那七八剑气斩上去，噗噗噗的声音传入耳里，金老怪被劈飞了出去，却平安无事。
Lin Xuan was somewhat impressed. Indeed, it’s true that there are no false heroes under a great name. An attack from an advanced-stage cultivator, even just sword energy, far exceeded the power of ordinary ancient treasures.
lín xuān yǒu xiē dòng róng le ， guǒ rán shèng míng zhī xià wú xū shì ， yào zhī dào yuán yīng hòu qī xiū shì de yī jī ， jí biàn jǐn jǐn shì jiàn qì ， wēi lì yě yuǎn fēi yì bān de gǔ bǎo kě bǐ 。
林轩有些动容了，果然盛名之下无虚士，要知道元婴后期修士的一击，即便仅仅是剑气，威力也远非一般的古宝可比。
The hardness of this old monster's body might be much greater than that of most transformed animals.
zhè jīn lǎo guài shēn tǐ de jiān yìng chéng dù ， kǒng pà hái yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò le yì bān de huà xíng qī guī lèi yāo zú 。
这金老怪身体的坚硬程度，恐怕还远远胜过了一般的化形期龟类妖族。
However, Lin Xuan still didn't move. Although the terms offered were tempting, he knew better about the terrifying strength of a high-ranking cultivator.
bù guò lín xuān yī jiù méi yǒu dòng shǒu ， duì fāng xǔ nuò de tiáo jiàn suī rán yòu rén ， dàn lín xuān gèng míng bái dà xiū shì yōng yǒu zěn yàng kě pà de shí lì 。
不过林轩依旧没有动手，对方许诺的条件虽然诱人，但林轩更明白大修士拥有怎样可怕的实力。
Although both Kalara Ancient Demon and other demons had fallen to his hands, it was due to luck rather than true power. He didn’t really believe he could defeat or kill them.
bié kàn jiā luó gǔ mó dōu yǔn luò zài tā de shǒu lǐ ， dàn nà shì qǔ qiǎo de yuán gù ， gòng zhōng yùn qì dào zhàn le dà duō shù ， lín xuān kě bù zhēn rèn wéi zì jǐ yǒu shí lì miè shā duì fāng de 。
别看迦罗古魔都陨落在他的手里，但那是取巧的缘故，共中运气倒占了大多数，林轩可不真认为自己有实力灭杀对方的。
Even with his advancement to middle-stage and the assistance of an upgraded Corpse Demon, Lin Xuan estimated that if he fought a high-ranking cultivator, he would at most be able to retreat unharmed.
jí biàn zì jǐ rú jīn yǐ jìn jiē zhōng qī ， yòu yǒu shēng jí hòu de shī mó xiāng zhù ， dàn lín xuān gū jì ， ruò yǔ dà xiū shì wèi dí ， zì jǐ yě jiù zuì duō néng gòu quán shēn ér tuì ér yǐ 。
即便自己如今已进阶中期，又有升级后的尸魔相助，但林轩估计，若与大修士为敌，自己也就最多能够全身而退而已。
Defeating him was impossible, let alone killing. Even adding this old monster, it was just wishful thinking. Therefore, he naturally wouldn’t provoke such a powerful enemy without reason.
dǎ bài duì fāng shì bù kě néng dì ， gèng bú yào shuō miè shā le ， jí biàn jiā shàng jīn lǎo guài ， yě shì chī rén shuō mèng ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān zì rán bú huì wú duān shù cǐ qiáng dí 。
打败对方是不可能地，更不要说灭杀了，即便加上金老怪，也是痴人说梦，所以林轩自然不会无端树此强敌。
However, Lin Xuan was also curious. He hadn't revealed any traps around either. This old monster of gold didn’t seem like an idiot but why did he confidently claim to be able to handle high-ranking cultivators?
bù guò lín xuān yě yǒu xiē hào qí ， tā tóng yàng méi yǒu zài zhōu wéi xiàn shén me tú zhì ， zhè jīn lǎo guài bìng bù xiàng shǎ zi ， wèi hé xìn shì dàn dàn de shuō yǒu shí lì gàn diào dà xiū shì ？
不过林轩也有些好奇，他同样没有在周围现什么荼制，这金老怪并不像傻子，为何信誓旦旦的说有实力干掉大修士？
Seeing that the two had started fighting, Lin Xuan decided to sit back and watch. He would wait and see before acting; it should bring some benefits.
jiàn liǎng rén yǐ dòng shǒu dǎ dòu ， lín xuān yě bào dìng zuò bì shàng guān de niàn tou ， xiān kàn kàn qíng kuàng zài shuō ， hún shuǐ mō yú yīng gāi néng gòu ná dào yī xiē hǎo chù 。
见两人已动手打斗，林轩也抱定坐壁上观的念头，先看看情况再说，浑水摸鱼应该能够拿到一些好处。
Seeing his attack was ineffective, Yellow Eyebrow Sage wasn’t angry either. It was just a test. While the other party could block sword energy, they couldn't withstand the actual body of the treasure.
jiàn zì jǐ de gōng jī méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， huáng méi zhēn rén yě bìng bù nǎo nù ， gāng gāng bù guò shì shì tàn ér yǐ ， duì fāng néng gòu dǎng zhù jiàn qì ， què jué duì wú fǎ chēng guò fǎ bǎo běn tǐ de gōng jī 。
见自己的攻击没有效果，黄眉真人也并不恼怒，刚刚不过是试探而已，对方能够挡住剑气，却绝对无法撑过法宝本体的攻击。
Yellow Eyebrow Sage pointed at him with one finger, and the immortal sword turned into a blue light, slashing towards his neck. The old monster of gold didn’t dare to take it head-on; he moved to the left side instead.
huáng méi zhēn rén yì diǎn zhǐ ， nà xiān jiàn huà wèi yī dào lán máng ， hěn hěn de zhǎn xiàng le duì fāng de fù xiàng ， jīn lǎo guài guǒ rán bù gǎn yìng jiē ， shēn xíng piāo hū ， yǐ jīng duǒ xiàng le zuǒ cè 。
黄眉真人一点指，那仙剑化为一道蓝芒，狠狠的斩向了对方的覆项，金老怪果然不敢硬接，身形飘忽，已经躲像了左侧。
The blue light missed its target but was a sentient treasure. It traced a beautiful arc and flew back.
lán máng luò kōng le ， rán ér cǐ jiàn yě shì yí tòng líng de bǎo wù ， huá guò yī dào měi lì de hú xiàn ， yòu diào tóu fēi le guò lái 。
蓝芒落空了，然而此剑也是一通灵的宝物，划过一道美丽的弧线，又掉头飞了过来。
This time, it came with even greater force. The old monster of gold couldn’t dodge in time. His eyes flashed with ferocity as he raised his right arm without taking any defensive treasures.
zhè cì qù shì gèng jiā jìn jí ， jīn lǎo guài yǐ lái bù jí duǒ bì ， tā de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī xiōng lì ， jū rán yě bù qǔ fáng yù bǎo wù ， jiù zhè me jiāng yòu bì tái qǐ 。
这次去势更加劲急，金老怪已来不及躲避，他的眼中闪过一丝凶厉，居然也不取防御宝物，就这么将右臂抬起。
Suddenly, golden light alternated with blue light; the immortal sword collided with his arm, producing a series of 'clang' sounds.
dùn shí jīn guāng yǔ lán máng jiāo tì ， xiān jiàn yǔ tā gē bó xiāng zhuàng ， jū rán chū yī zhèn “ qiāng qiāng ” de jīn qīn 1 jiāo míng 。
顿时金光与蓝芒交替，仙剑与他胳膊相撞，居然出一阵“锵锵”的金钦1交鸣。
The old monster's arm was thicker than a human thigh and his cultivation method was special, but the immortal sword still cut it off.
jīn lǎo guài de gē bó bǐ cháng rén de dà tuǐ hái cū ， ér qiě xiū liàn de gōng fǎ yòu gēn tè shū ， dàn xiān jiàn yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， hái shì jiāng qí zhǎn duàn le 。
金老怪的胳膊比常人的大腿还粗，而且修炼的功法又根特殊，但仙剑也非同小可，还是将其斩断了。
However, its momentum slowed down. The old monster took this opportunity to dodge.
dàn qù shì yě wèi zhī yī huǎn ， jīn lǎo guài chèn jī duǒ kāi 。
但去势也为之一缓，金老怪趁机躲开。
And there was no blood oozing from his severed arm.
ér tā duàn bì chù de shāng kǒu ， jū rán méi yǒu yī dī xuè liú chū lái 。
而他断臂处的伤口，居然没有一滴血流出来。
With his left hand, he grabbed the broken arm and touched the wound; it healed easily.
jīn lǎo guài liǎn shàng ， yě háo wú tòng chǔ zhī sè ， yòng zuǒ shǒu zhuā zhù duàn bì ， wǎng shāng kǒu shàng yī chù ， jiù shí fēn qīng yì de jiē hǎo le 。
金老怪脸上，也毫无痛楚之色，用左手抓住断臂，往伤口上一触，就十分轻易的接好了。
Lin Xuan was greatly impressed by such a power. Even those with healing bodies couldn’t match him in terms of ability.
lín xuān sǒng rán dòng róng ， zhè zhǒng shén tōng ， biàn shì nà xiē yōng yǒu zhì yù zhī tǐ de yāo shòu yě yuǎn yuǎn bù jí de 。
林轩耸然动容，这种神通，便是那些拥有治愈之体的妖兽也远远不及的。
However, even this wasn’t enough to face high-ranking cultivators.
bù guò píng zhè yì diǎn ， yuǎn yuǎn bú shì dà xiū shì de duì shǒu 。
不过凭这一点，远远不是大修士的对手。
A cold smile appeared on Yellow Eyebrow Sage's face as he prepared to act. Just then, the old monster of gold stretched out his hand and patted his waist. A talisman floated before him.
huáng méi zhēn rén liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī lěng xiào zhī sè ， zhèng yào yǒu suǒ xíng dòng ， jīn lǎo guài què shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yī zhāng fú lí fú xiàn zài le tā de miàn qián 。
黄眉真人脸上露出一丝冷笑之色，正要有所行动，金老怪却伸出手来，在腰间一拍，一张符黧浮现在了他的面前。
This talisman was peculiar; half black and half white. Apart from countless deep symbols, it also had a strange pattern drawn on its surface.
cǐ fú shí fēn qí guài ， bàn hēi bàn bái ， biǎo miàn chú le wú shù de shēn ào fú wén yǐ wài ， hái huì zhì zhe yī gǔ guài tú àn 。
此苻十分奇怪，半黑半白，表面除了无数的深奥符文以外，还绘制着一古怪图案。
Under the moonlight by an old well, under the feet of a beautiful woman, lay a skeleton.
míng yuè xià ， kū jǐng biān ， yī jué sè měi nǚ de jiǎo xià ， wò zhe yī jù kū lóu 。
明月下，枯井边，一绝色美女的脚下，卧着一具骷髅。
The style was beautiful but terrifying.
huà fēng hěn měi ， rán ér què ràng rén máo gǔ sǒng rán 。
画风很美，然而却让人毛骨悚然。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted involuntarily.
zhè líng lín xuān tóng kǒng bù yóu de yī suō 。
这泠林轩瞳孔不由得一缩。
He seemed to have seen this before but couldn’t recall where. He frowned and struggled hard to remember.
zì jǐ sì hū zài nǎ lǐ jiàn guò ， dàn què yòu xiǎng bù qǐ lái le ， bù yóu de zhòu méi kǔ kǔ sī suǒ 。
自己似乎在哪里见过，但却又想不起来了，不由得皱眉苦苦思索。
The old monster of gold opened his mouth and spat out blood. The blood seeped into the talisman, which ignited on its own. From the flames, a woman about an inch tall flew out along with the skeleton, just like in the picture.
jīn lǎo guài zhāng kāi kǒu ， yī dào xiān xuè pēn chū ， nà xuè jìn rù xìng lí ， dùn shí wú fēng zì rán le ， cóng huǒ yàn lǐ miàn ， fēi chū yī cùn xǔ dà de měi nǚ ， hái yǒu nà kū lóu gǔ jià ， rú tóng huà zhōng de yī yàng 。
金老怪张开口，一道鲜血喷出，那血浸入荇黧，顿时无风自燃了，从火焰里面，飞出一寸许大的美女，还有那骷髅骨架，如同画中的一样。
She circled once before entering his crown.
yí gè pán xuán ， mò rù le tā de tiān líng gài 。
一个盘旋，没入了他的天灵盖。
A painful expression appeared on the old monster's face but quickly turned into a surge of power.
jīn lǎo guài de liǎn shàng lù chū le tòng kǔ wú bǐ de shén sè ， dàn hěn kuài ， qì shì bào zhǎng le qǐ lái 。
金老怪的脸上露出了痛苦无比的神色，但很快，气势暴涨了起来。
Above the sky, countless light points of qi gathered, each about the size of a finger. They rushed into his body one after another.
tiān kōng zhī zhōng ， chū xiàn le mì mì má má de líng qì guāng diǎn ， yuē yǒu zhǐ tou dà ， zhēng xiān kǒng hòu de yǒng rù tā de shēn tǐ 。
天空之中，出现了密密麻麻的灵气光点，约有指头大，争先恐后的涌入他的身体。
This scene left Yellow Eyebrow Sage speechless, while Lin Xuan had a sudden flash of insight in his mind. He remembered; this talisman was called Red Powder Skeleton and wasn’t from this world but a treasure from the demon sect of the Spirit Realm.
I have no connection with you. I came here merely to trade something with Fairy Golden Spirit. You two can fight if you wish, but don't drag me into it; I'm not interested in this." Lin Xuan gave them a strange look. This old monster of gold had come out of nowhere. Purple Lotus Wood wasn’t such a precious treasure, yet he actually wanted to involve me in fighting an old monster from the later stage.
"Friend, don't be so sure about that just now; listen to my terms first." The old monster of gold was neither angry nor impatient with Lin Xuan's reaction, as if it had anticipated this response.
"Hmph. Golden fellow, are you really out of your mind? Do you truly believe you can handle me? Don’t you know that the difference between middle and late stages is like heaven and earth in terms of strength? It would be a mere gesture for me to kill you." Yellow Eyebrow Sage was so furious he laughed. Although he had some grudges with this old monster, it wasn't a matter of life or death. He originally came here just to find an opportunity to extort a major treasure. Yet, the other party was unexpectedly arrogant and even sought help in front of him, leaving him speechless with laughter. His beard started trembling.
"Friend Lin, I know it’s difficult for you to decide now, but please observe from the sidelines when I fight this old thief Yellow Eyebrow. If you think you can assist me and ultimately kill the old bastard, my promise will be valid and I’ll give you a satisfactory reward." The old monster of gold suddenly lowered his voice, whispering something into Lin Xuan's ear.
Lin Xuan originally had an expression of disbelief, but he suddenly raised his head. His eyes flashed with sharp light, though they quickly calmed down. All these were seen by Yellow Eyebrow Sage, who felt a strange unease in his heart.
Although he didn’t know what conditions the other party offered, that Lin fellow clearly seemed to be tempted!

A cold smile appeared on Yellow Eyebrow Sage's face as he prepared to act. Just then, the old monster of gold stretched out his hand and patted his waist. A talisman floated before him.
This talisman was peculiar; half black and half white. Apart from countless deep symbols, it also had a strange pattern drawn on its surface.
Under the moonlight by an old well, under the feet of a beautiful woman, lay a skeleton.
The style was beautiful but terrifying.
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted involuntarily.
He seemed to have seen this before but couldn’t recall where. He frowned and struggled hard to remember.
The old monster of gold opened his mouth and spat out blood. The blood seeped into the talisman, which ignited on its own. From the flames, a woman about an inch tall flew out along with the skeleton, just like in the picture.
She circled once before entering his crown.
A painful expression appeared on the old monster's face but quickly turned into a surge of power.
Above the sky, countless light points of qi gathered, each about the size of a finger. They rushed into his body one after another.
This scene left Yellow Eyebrow Sage speechless, while Lin Xuan had a sudden flash of insight in his mind. He remembered; this talisman was called Red Powder Skeleton and wasn’t from this world but a treasure from the demon sect of the Spirit Realm.
