jiàn nà jīn sè de dà xiàng zì jǐ ， huáng méi zhēn rén yǎn jīng yī mī ， shēn zhǐ xiàng pán xuán zài tóu dǐng gè lán sè xiān jiàn diǎn qù 。
见那金色的大像自己，黄眉真人眼睛一眯，伸指像盘旋在头顶硌蓝色仙剑点去。
Seeing the golden giant figure, Yellow Eyebrow True Man narrowed his eyes and extended a finger to point at the blue immortal sword hovering above him.
yī zhèn fèng míng bān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr lǐ ， cóng nà xiān jiàn zhī shàng ， fàng chū yī dào póu yī dào de lán máng ， rú tóng dà hǎi de bō tāo yī yàng ， fēng kuáng de yǒng xiàng le duì fāng 。
一阵凤鸣般的声音传入耳里，从那仙剑之上，放出一道掊一道的蓝芒，如同大海的波涛一样，疯狂的涌向了对方。
A凤鸣-like sound echoed in his ears. From the sword, a stream of blue light surged out, like waves of the sea rushing towards the opponent with ferocity.
jīn sè dà shǒu yě bù shì ruò ， yíng fēng jiù zhǎng ， jū rán biàn huà wèi le shí yú zhàng ， yìng shēng shēng de chā xiàng duì fāng 。
金色大手也不示弱，迎风就涨，居然变化为了十余丈，硬生生的插像对方。
The golden hand was not going to back down either; it swelled as if caught by the wind and grew to over ten zhang, plunging straight at the other party.
líng lì sì shè ， jǐn jǐn shì jiē chù de wēi yā jiù yǐ jīng jiāng zhěng gè tíng zi xiān fēi le 。
灵力四射，仅仅是接触的威压就已经将整个亭子掀飞了。
Essence energy radiated everywhere. The mere pressure from their contact sent the pavilion flying.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng lù chū yī sī yì sè ， zhè diǎn yú bō duì tā lái shuō bù suàn shén me ， dàn yě zhèng míng liǎo hóng fěn kū lóu fú guǒ rán bù kuì shì líng jiè mó zōng de xī yǒu zhī wù ， shǐ yòng shùn yǐ hòu jīn lǎo guài jū rán zhēn de néng yǔ hòu qī dà xiū shì yìng pèng ér bù là xià fēng 。
林轩眼中露出一丝异色，这点余波对他来说不算什么，但也证明了红粉骷髅符果然不愧是灵界魔宗的稀有之物，使用顺以后金老怪居然真的能与后期大修士硬碰而不落下风。
Lin Xuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise. This residual force wasn't much for him, but it proved that the Red Powder Skull Talisman was indeed a rare item in the Spirit Realm, belonging to the Demon Sects. After using it, the Golden Monster actually managed to withstand blows from late-stage cultivators without falling behind.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， xīn zhōng yǐ jīng yǒu jué dìng le ， bù guò tā bìng bù máng zhe chū shǒu ， yī jiù zuò shān guān hǔ dòu 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，心中已经有决定了，不过他并不忙着出手，依旧坐山观虎斗。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he made up his mind. However, he didn't rush into action; instead, he continued to watch the battle unfold.
gāng gāng de zhāo shù bù guò shì shì tàn xìng ， jiàn duì fāng jū rán néng yǔ zì jǐ píng fēn qiū sè ， huáng méi zhēn rén de biǎo qíng yě dùn shí yīn chén xià qù le 。
刚刚的招数不过是试探性，见对方居然能与自己平分秋色，黄眉真人的表情也顿时阴沉下去了。
The previous moves were merely试探性的. Seeing that the other party could match him evenly, Yellow Eyebrow True Man's expression turned grim.
zhè jiā huo bù hǎo duì fù ！
这家伙不好对付！
This guy is hard to deal with!
tā kě bù dǎ suàn yìng pèng ， xīn zhōng yǐ méng shēng qù yì le 。
他可不打算硬碰，心中已萌生去意了。
He didn't plan on a direct confrontation and had already decided to leave.
rán ér jīn lǎo guài fèi jǐn xīn kǔ ， qīng yì zì rán bú huì ràng tā táo zǒu de ， yī shēng dà hē ， cóng tā shēn tǐ biǎo miàn ， jìng rán bó chū yī céng dàn dàn jīn guāng lái le ， ér pí fū shàng de nà xiē shén mì fú wén ， gèng shì rú tóng huó guò lái bān de liú zhuǎn bù yǐ ， kàn shàng qù chōng mǎn le gǔ piáo de qì xī 。
然而金老怪费尽辛苦，轻易自然不会让他逃走的，一声大喝，从他身体表面，竟然勃出一层淡淡金光来了，而皮肤上的那些神秘符文，更是如同活过来般的流转不已，看上去充满了古朴的气息。
But the Golden Monster, after all his efforts, wouldn't let him escape so easily. With a loud shout, a faint golden glow erupted from his body surface. The mysterious symbols on his skin seemed to come alive, flowing with an ancient aura.
huáng méi zhēn rén dào xī le yī kǒu liáng qì ， hěn xiǎn rán ， jiè zhù hóng fěn kū lóu fú ， duì fāng bù jǐn xiū wèi kān bǐ hòu qī xiū xiān zhě ， lián jīn xuán nèi jiǎ gōng ， yě tóng yàng bào zhǎng pōu I dì qī céng le 。
黄眉真人倒吸了一口凉气，很显然，借助红粉骷髅符，对方不仅修为堪比后期修仙者，连金玄内甲功，也同样暴涨剖I第七层了。
Yellow Eyebrow True Man sucked in a cold breath; clearly, using the Red Powder Skull Talisman not only boosted the other party's cultivation level to that of late-stage cultivators but also made him proficient in the Golden玄内甲功 at the seventh layer.
rú cǐ yī lái ， tā jī ròu gǔ gé de jiān yìng chéng dù ， kān bǐ xīng ， xíng hòu qī guī lèi de yìng ké ， biàn shì dǐng jiān fǎ bǎo yě hěn nán shāng hài le 。
如此一来，他肌肉骨骼的坚硬程度，堪比兴，形后期龟类的硬壳，便是顶尖法宝也很难伤害了。
With such hard bones and muscles akin to those of advanced turtles, even top-grade treasures would find it difficult to harm him. Moreover, his strength was boundless; this secret technique was a supreme martial art for close combat!
qiě lì dà wú qióng ， zhè mì gōng zhèng shì jìn zhàn de dǐng jiān shén tōng ！
且力大无穷，这秘功正是近战的顶尖神通！
The Golden Monster transformed into a golden streak and rushed towards the other party.
jīn lǎo guài huà wèi yī dào jīn hóng ， dùn guāng xiàng duì fāng pū qù le 。
金老怪化为一道金虹，遁光像对方扑去了。
Yellow Eyebrow True Man frowned as he suddenly struck his chest. A series of sword beams shot out from his mouth, each about a foot long, radiating immense essence energy. On the surface of these beams were numerous small symbols that kept flowing, filled with an ancient aura.
huáng méi zhēn rén méi tóu gǎn zhòu ， tū rán yī chuí xiōng kǒu ， yī dào yòu yī dào de jiàn máng cóng tā de kǒu zhōng pēn tǔ ér chū ， nà xiē jiàn máng zhǎng yuē chǐ xǔ ， sàn zhe jīng rén de líng lì ， ér zài jiàn máng biǎo miàn ， hái yǒu bù shǎo dòu lì dà xiǎo de fú wén bù tíng liú zhuǎn ， chōng mǎn le shén mì gǔ piáo de qì xī 。
黄眉真人眉头橄皱，突然一捶胸口，一道又一道的剑芒从他的口中喷吐而出，那些剑芒长约尺许，散着惊人的灵力，而在剑芒表面，还有不少豆粒大小的符文不停流转，充满了神秘古朴的气息。
Lin Xuan counted them; there were forty-nine beams in total. The pressure emitted by each one was no less than that of ordinary late-stage cultivators' top-grade treasures.
lín xuān shù le yī shù ， jiàn guāng gòng yǒu sì shí jiǔ dào ， měi yī dào suǒ sàn chū lái de wēi yā ， dōu bù dī yú pǔ tōng yuán yīng xiū shì suǒ qū shǐ de dǐng jiān fǎ bǎo 。
林轩数了一数，剑光共有四十九道，每一道所散出来的威压，都不低于普通元婴修士所驱使的顶尖法宝。
Although Yellow Eyebrow True Man was somewhat shameless, he was indeed a great cultivator famous for hundreds of years. His first move already showed his extraordinary strength.
huáng méi zhēn rén suī rán yǒu xiē wú chǐ ， dàn bù kuì shì chéng míng shù bǎi nián de dà xiū shì ， zhè yī chū shǒu ， jiù xiǎn shì chū le fēi fán de shí lì 。
黄眉真人虽然有些无耻，但不愧是成名数百年的大修士，这一出手，就显示出了非凡的实力。
"Quickly!"
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
He extended a finger towards the front.
tā shēn zhǐ xiàng xiàng qián fāng huǎn gǔ diǎn qù 。
他伸指像像前方缓鼓点去。
The sword beams flashed and split into three, instantly transforming into over a hundred, forming a wall of swords before him like a copper wall.
nà xiē jiàn guāng yī shǎn ， yī fēn wèi sān ， dùn shí huà wèi le bǎi yú dào ， céng céng dié dié ， zài tā miàn qián ， bù chéng le yī zhāng yǒu rú tóng qiáng tiě bì bān de jiàn wǎng 。
那些剑光一闪，一分为三，顿时化为了百余道，层层叠叠，在他面前，布成了一张有如铜墙铁壁般的剑网。
Lin Xuan estimated that even the Three Demon Kings wouldn't dare to charge through.
lín xuān gū jì ， biàn shì sān dà yāo wáng yě bù gǎn yìng chuǎng 。
林轩估计，便是三大妖王也不敢硬闯。
However, the Golden Monster was determined to die fighting. He didn't fear mutual destruction; with a sneer, he plunged headfirst into the sword net.
rán ér jīn lǎo guài zǎo bào sǐ zhì ， zì rán bù pà yǔ duì fāng liǎng bài jù shāng ， lū bǔ biān lù chū yī sī níng xiào ， jū rán rú tóng liú xīng zhuì dì bān ， yī tóu zhā rù le jiàn wǎng 。
然而金老怪早抱死志，自然不怕与对方两败俱伤，噜哺边露出一丝狞笑，居然如同流星坠地般，一头扎入了剑网。
Instantly, golden light burst everywhere, and the symbols exploded like popping beans.
dùn shí jīn guāng sì shè ， fú wén rú tóng chǎo dòu zi yì bān de mì jí bào kāi le 。
顿时金光四射，符文如同炒豆子一般的密集爆开了。
Crackling sounds filled his ears, and there seemed to be lightning weaving through them. The sword beams struck the Golden Monster like a storm, but his defense was truly astonishing. Such terrifying attacks would destroy even top-grade defensive treasures, yet he showed no concern.
pī lǐ pā lā de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǐn yǐn hái yǒu léi diàn zài qí zhōng chuān suō ， nà xiē jiàn máng yóu rú jí fēng zhòu yǔ ， fēng kuáng de cháo zhe jīn lǎo guài tān cì 。
噼里啪啦的声音传入耳朵，隐隐还有雷电在其中穿梭，那些剑芒犹如疾风骤雨，疯狂的朝着金老怪摊刺。
Of course, he did get injured; hundreds of cuts appeared all over him, but they quickly healed due to this technique's self-recovery ability.
rán ér jīn xuán nèi jiǎ gōng de fáng yù què shí lìng rén zé shé ， rú cǐ hài rén de gōng jī biàn shì dǐng jiē de fáng yù bǎo wù yě zǎo huǐ le ， kě tā jū rán háo bù zài hū 。
然而金玄内甲功的防御确实令人咋舌，如此骇人的攻击便是顶阶的防御宝物也早毁了，可他居然毫不在乎。
Seeing that the other party was about to break through the sword net, Yellow Eyebrow True Man's face turned black. He flicked his sleeves and a fist-sized stone flew out.
dāng rán ， shāng kěn dìng hái shì shòu le yī xiē ，； shēn shàng xià bèi gē le dà dà xiǎo xiǎo shù yǐ bǎi jì de kǒu zi ， rán ér què hěn kuài jiù huī fù ， cǐ gōng hái dài yǒu zì yù de shén tōng 。
当然，伤肯定还是受了一些，；身上下被割了大大小小数以百计的口子，然而却很快就恢复，此功还带有自愈的神通。
The stone was dark and unremarkable in appearance. However, when a spell was cast upon it, its volume rapidly increased. In just a few breaths, it grew to resemble a small mountain.
yǎn kàn duì fāng jiù yào chōng chū jiàn wǎng ， huáng méi zhēn rén de liǎn sè yǐ hēi dào le jí chù ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī wù dī liū liū de fēi xuán xī chū 。
眼看对方就要冲出剑网，黄眉真人的脸色已黑到了极处，袖袍一拂，一物滴溜溜的飞旋西出。
A large shadow fell, making the air chill. It weighed at least several hundred thousand pounds. Even if the Golden Monster didn't dodge, he would surely be badly injured by such an attack.
shì yī kuài quán tou dà xiǎo de shí tou ， hēi hū hū de ， háo wú qǐ yǎn zhī chù 。
是一块拳头大小的石头，黑乎乎的，毫无起眼之处。
The Golden Monster was shocked and naturally wouldn't dare to take the hit. He quickly formed hand seals, dancing like a butterfly, causing the surrounding essence energy to surge violently. A colossal hand appeared above him.
rán ér dāng yī dào fǎ jué mò rù qí zhōng ， tǐ jī què kāi shǐ xùn bào zhǎng ， bù guò jǐ xī de gōng fu ， jū rán jiù gēn yī zuò xiǎo shān shì de 。
然而当一道法诀没入其中，体积却开始迅暴涨，不过几息的功夫，居然就跟一座小山似的。
This hand was enormous, with a diameter of several zhang, like a pillar supporting the sky, holding up this mountain while he himself vanished in a flash and arrived before Yellow Eyebrow True Man swiftly.
dà piàn de yīn yǐng tóu shè xià lái ， ràng rén biàn tǐ hán ， qǐ mǎ yǒu jǐ shí shàng bǎi wàn jīn zhòng ， bié shuō jīn lǎo guài ， jiù suàn shì lí hé qì gāo shǒu ， bù duǒ bù shǎn de āi shùn yī jī ， kǒng pà yě yào tuō céng pí 。
大片的阴影投射下来，让人遍体寒，起码有几十上百万斤重，别说金老怪，就算是离合器高手，不躲不闪的挨顺一击，恐怕也要脱层皮。
He struck with both fists, like a martial artist, using "Drums and Gongs Resounding," aiming for the other party's temple.
jīn lǎo guài dà chī yī jīng ， zì rán yě méi yǒu yìng jiē de dào lǐ ， máng shuāng shǒu qiā jué ， rú chuān huā hú dié bān bù tíng huī wǔ ， dùn shí ， zhōu wéi de líng qì jù liè bō dòng ， yī zhī qíng tiān jù shǒu chū xiàn zài le tā de shàng kōng 。
金老怪大吃一惊，自然也没有硬接的道理，忙双手掐诀，如穿花蝴蝶般不停挥舞，顿时，周围的灵气剧烈波动，一只擎天巨手出现在了他的上空。
Yellow Eyebrow True Man was in danger, but he didn't show any urgency. He recited a spell and vanished from his original spot.
cǐ shǒu shuò dà yǐ jí ， guāng shì zhí jìng jiù yǒu qī bā zhàng de yàng zi ， yǒu rú yī gēn chēng tiān de zhù zi ， yìng shēng shēng de jiāng cǐ shān tuō zhù ， yǔ tā zì jǐ zé dùn guāng bú jiàn ， xùn jié yǐ jí de lái dào le huáng méi zhēn rén de miàn qián 。
此手硕大以极，光是直径就有七八丈的样子，有如一根撑天的柱子，硬生生的将此山托住，雨他自己则遁光不见，迅捷以极的来到了黄眉真人的面前。
This… teleportation? The Golden Monster was stunned.
shuāng quán qí chū ， jìng xiàng shì fán rén zhōng de wǔ lín gāo shǒu ， shǐ le yī zhāo “ zhōng gǔ qí míng ”， léi xiàng duì fāng de tài yáng xué 。
双拳齐出，竟像是凡人中的武林高手，使了一招“钟鼓齐鸣”，擂像对方的太阳穴。
Lin Xuan shook his head; this was clearly a technique that only late-stage cultivators could master—缩地术.
huáng méi zhēn rén xiàn rù le wēi jī ， rán ér tā jū rán yì diǎn yě bù jí ， jiù niàn le yī jù zhòu yǔ ， shēn xíng jiù cóng yuán dì xiāo shī 。
黄眉真人陷入了危机，然而他居然一点也不急，就念了一句咒语，身形就从原地消失。
Although Lin Xuan's cultivation level matched the Golden Monster, his vision far surpassed him.
zhè shì …… shùn yí ？ jīn lǎo guài è rán bù yǐ 。
这是……瞬移？金老怪愕然不已。
"How about that, Mr. Jin? Do you really think using the Red Powder Skull Talisman can make you match me on equal terms? Too naive. Although this item is rare in the Spirit Realm, it merely accelerates your growth. Even if your cultivation and essence energy reach late-stage levels, could you learn all those secret techniques that only high-ranking cultivators know without studying them? And controlling essence energy takes time to master. So, you can never be my opponent, Fellow Daoist Lin. What should I do now? You must have a clear idea," Yellow Eyebrow True Man spoke with an air of arrogance.
lín xuān què yáo le yáo tóu ， duì fāng lū cuò le ， zhè fēn míng shì hòu qī xiū shì cái néng zhǎng wò de suō dì shù shén tōng 。
林轩却摇了摇头，对方撸错了，这分明是后期修士才能掌握的缩地术神通。
"I naturally know how to choose. I will certainly make Fellow Daoist satisfied," Lin Xuan smiled slyly.
tā yǔ jīn lǎo guài de jìng jiè suī rán xiāng tóng ， dàn lùn yǎn guāng ， duì fāng què shì pāi mǎ yě jí bù shàng 。
他与金老怪的境界虽然相同，但论眼光，对方却是拍马也及不上。
Without further ado, he pulled out a short sword from his sleeves and transformed it into a green beam, slashing at the other party with great force.
“ zěn me yàng ， xìng jīn de ， nǐ yǐ wéi shǐ yòng le hóng fěn kū lóu fú jiù zhēn néng yǔ běn zūn píng qǐ píng zuò ， tài tiān zhēn le ， cǐ xíng zài líng jiè suī rán yě shǔ yú xī yǒu zhī wù ， dàn shuō dào dǐ ， bù guò shì bá miáo zhù zhǎng ， jiù suàn shì nǐ de jìng jiè fǎ lì dào le hòu qī ， kě dà xiū shì cái néng zhǎng wò de zhǒng zhǒng mì shù ， nǐ nán dào bù xué jiù néng huì le me ， hái yǒu duì yú líng qì fǎ lì de cāo kòng ， yě xū yào shí jiān màn màn mó hé ， suǒ yǐ nǐ jué bù kě néng shì lǎo fū de duì shǒu ， lín dào yǒu ， rú jīn gāi zěn yàng xuǎn zé ， xiǎng bì nǐ yīng gāi yǐ xīn lǐ yǒu shù 。” huáng méi zhēn rén lüè xiǎn jù ào de kāi kǒu le ， bù guò zuì hòu yī jù huà ， què shì duì lín xuān shuō de 。
“怎么样，姓金的，你以为使用了红粉骷髅符就真能与本尊平起平坐，太天真了，此行在灵界虽然也属于稀有之物，但说到底，不过是拔苗助长，就算是你的境界法力到了后期，可大修士才能掌握的种种秘术，你难道不学就能会了么，还有对于灵气法力的操控，也需要时间慢慢磨合，所以你绝不可能是老夫的对手，林道友，如今该怎样选择，想必你应该已心里有数。”黄眉真人略显倨傲的开口了，不过最后一句话，却是对林轩说的。
The attack was not loud, but it emitted an essence pressure that made one's heart palpitate. The Golden Monster's face turned pale; he never expected such an outcome after all his efforts.
“ zài xià dāng rán zhī dào gāi zěn yàng xuǎn zé ， yí dìng huì ràng dào yǒu mǎn yì de 。” lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī xiào róng ， lüè dài xiàn mèi de kāi kǒu 。
“在下当然知道该怎样选择，一定会让道友满意的。”林轩嘴角边露出一丝笑容，略带献媚的开口。
He naturally wouldn't sit idly by. His eyes glinted as he raised both hands to block Lin Xuan's attack…
suí hòu yě bú jiàn tā yǒu shén me dòng zuò ， yī bǐng chǐ xǔ zhǎng de duǎn jiàn jiù cóng xiù páo zhōng yú yóu ér chū ， huà wèi yī dào qīng máng ， hěn hěn de zhǎn xiàng le duì fāng 。
随后也不见他有什么动作，一柄尺许长的短剑就从袖袍中鱼游而出，化为一道青芒，狠狠的斩向了对方。
The Green Fire Sword was only a dozen feet away from him. Suddenly, a cunning smile appeared on Lin Xuan's lips as he moved his left hand swiftly.
shēng shì bù dà ， rán ér què sàn zhe lìng rén xīn jì de líng yā ， jīn lǎo guài de liǎn sè nán kàn wú bǐ ， méi xiǎng dào zì jǐ fèi jìn xīn jī ， zuì hòu què shì zhè zhǒng jié jú 。
声势不大，然而却散着令人心悸的灵压，金老怪的脸色难看无比，没想到自己费尽心机，最后却是这种结局。
As the green fire sword's light became more dazzling, it vanished from its original spot.
tā zì rán bù kěn zuò yǐ dài bì ， yǎn zhōng lì sè yī shǎn ， shuāng shǒu jiāo chā tái qǐ ， zhǔn bèi yìng dǎng lín xuān de gōng jī ……
他自然不肯坐以待毙，眼中厉色一闪，双手交叉抬起，准备硬挡林轩的攻击……
In the next moment, space distorted, and the sword suddenly appeared above Yellow Eyebrow True Man's head, striking down fiercely.
qīng huǒ jiàn lí tā jǐn yǒu zhàng xǔ ， lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān tū rán liú lù chū yī sī jiǎo huá zhī yì ， zuǒ shǒu jiǎo dòng ， shì huǎn shí jí de xiàng qián dàn chū 。
青火剑离他仅有丈许，林轩嘴角边突然流露出一丝狡猾之意，左手徼动，似缓实急的向前弹出。
"You…"
qīng huǒ jiàn de guāng máng yuè yào yǎn ， què guǐ yì yī shǎn ， cóng yuán dì xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
青火剑的光芒越耀眼，却诡异一闪，从原地消失不见。
The sudden attack shocked Yellow Eyebrow True Man. The Golden Monster, on the other hand, looked both surprised and delighted.
xià yī kè ， kōng jiān niǔ qū ， kǔn ； jū rán chū shì zài le huáng méi zhēn rén de tóu dǐng ， hěn hěn de pī cì xià qù 。
下一刻，空间扭曲，悃；居然出视在了黄眉真人的头顶，狠狠的劈刺下去。
Lin Xuan paid no heed; he poured all his essence energy into the Green Fire Sword. Either do it or don't; with a choice made, he showed no hesitation.
Seeing the golden giant figure, Yellow Eyebrow True Man narrowed his eyes and extended a finger to point at the blue immortal sword hovering above him.
A凤鸣-like sound echoed in his ears. From the sword, a stream of blue light surged out, like waves of the sea rushing towards the opponent with ferocity.
The golden hand was not going to back down either; it swelled as if caught by the wind and grew to over ten zhang, plunging straight at the other party.
Essence energy radiated everywhere. The mere pressure from their contact sent the pavilion flying.
Lin Xuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise. This residual force wasn't much for him, but it proved that the Red Powder Skull Talisman was indeed a rare item in the Spirit Realm, belonging to the Demon Sects. After using it, the Golden Monster actually managed to withstand blows from late-stage cultivators without falling behind.
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he made up his mind. However, he didn't rush into action; instead, he continued to watch the battle unfold.
The previous moves were merely试探性的. Seeing that the other party could match him evenly, Yellow Eyebrow True Man's expression turned grim.

He didn't plan on a direct confrontation and had already decided to leave.
But the Golden Monster, after all his efforts, wouldn't let him escape so easily. With a loud shout, a faint golden glow erupted from his body surface. The mysterious symbols on his skin seemed to come alive, flowing with an ancient aura.

The attack was not loud, but it emitted an essence pressure that made one's heart palpitate. The Golden Monster's face turned pale; he never expected such an outcome after all his efforts.
He naturally wouldn't sit idly by. His eyes glinted as he raised both hands to block Lin Xuan's attack…
The Green Fire Sword was only a dozen feet away from him. Suddenly, a cunning smile appeared on Lin Xuan's lips as he moved his left hand swiftly.
As the green fire sword's light became more dazzling, it vanished from its original spot.
In the next moment, space distorted, and the sword suddenly appeared above Yellow Eyebrow True Man's head, striking down fiercely.
"You…"
The sudden attack shocked Yellow Eyebrow True Man. The Golden Monster, on the other hand, looked both surprised and delighted.
Lin Xuan paid no heed; he poured all his essence energy into the Green Fire Sword. Either do it or don't; with a choice made, he showed no hesitation.
