jiāng shī lì zhuǎ yī yáng ， shàng miàn yǒu lǜ guāng shǎn dòng ， jū rán yìng shēng shēng de jiāng huǒ niǎo shù jī sàn le ， jiàn le cǐ jǐng ， lín xuān shēn shǒu rù huái ， cóng chǔ wù shǒu zhuó zhōng qǔ chū yī zhāng hēi sè de xiǎo fān 。
僵尸利爪一扬，上面有绿光闪动，居然硬生生的将火鸟术击散了，见了此景，林轩伸手入怀，从储物手镯中取出一张黑色的小幡。
The zombie's利爪 flicked up, emitting green light. Surprisingly, it managed to disperse the Firebird Technique. Seeing this, Lin Xuan reached into his pocket and took out a small black banner from his storage bracelet.
fù jìn de yīn qì biàn dé yuè jiā de nóng zhòng ， yǐ dú gōng dú ， lín xuān jué dìng yòng bǎi hún fān lái kè zhì yǎn qián de guǐ wù 。
附近的阴气变得越加的浓重，以毒攻毒，林轩决定用百魂幡来克制眼前的鬼物。
The nearby阴气 grew even denser. Using poison to counter poison, Lin Xuan decided to use the Hundred Souls Banner to suppress the ghostly creature before him.
líng lì zhù rù ， hēi sè de wù qì cóng xiǎo fān lǐ miàn fān yǒng ér chū ， jiā zá zhe bèi yè tiān suǒ liàn jì de shēng rén hún pò 。
灵力注入，黑色的雾气从小幡里面翻涌而出，夹杂着被叶天所炼祭的生人魂魄。
Injecting spiritual energy, dark mist poured out of the banner, mixed with souls refined by Ye Tian.
suī rán dà bù fèn dōu shì fán rén zhī hún ， dàn yóu yú zhè xiē rén nǎi shì cǎn sǐ ， suǒ yǐ lì qì zhī nóng ， bìng bù bǐ duì miàn de lì guǐ xùn sè 。
虽然大部分都是凡人之魂，但由于这些人乃是惨死，所以戾气之浓，并不比对面的厉鬼逊色。
Although most were ordinary human souls, due to their gruesome deaths, the malevolence was not inferior to that of the nearby厉鬼.
lín xuān kǒu zhōng niàn niàn yǒu cí ， bǎi hún fān xiàng qián yī zhǐ ， dùn shí ， nà xiē yīn hún yě jiū chán zài le yì qǐ ， huàn huà chū le yí gè xuè hóng sè de kū lóu tóu ， xiàng zhe jiāng shī chōng le guò qù 。
林轩口中念念有词，百魂幡向前一指，顿时，那些阴魂也纠缠在了一起，幻化出了一个血红色的骷髅头，向着僵尸冲了过去。
Lin Xuan muttered as he pointed the Hundred Souls Banner forward. Immediately, the阴魂 intertwined and transformed into a blood-red skull, rushing towards the zombie.
zhè kū lóu tóu gāo zú zú yǒu sān mǐ ， zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， cóng lǐ miàn pēn chū liǎng dào lì máng ， jiāng shī yī shēng dà hǒu ， shùn shǒu bá qǐ páng biān yī zhū xū yào shù rén cái néng hé bào de jù shù ， xiàng zhe kū lóu zá guò qù le 。
这骷髅头高足足有三米，张开血盆大口，从里面喷出两道厉芒，僵尸一声大吼，顺手拔起旁边一株需要数人才能合抱的巨树，向着骷髅砸过去了。
The skull stood three meters tall, opening its bloody maw to emit two streams of fierce light. The zombie roared loudly, plucking a massive tree that required several people to embrace from nearby, hurling it at the skull.
dùn shí nóng wù fān yǒng ， lì xiào zhī shēng bù duàn ， liǎng zhǒng guǐ wù hù xiāng jiū chán ， shā dé shì nán fēn nán jiě 。
顿时浓雾翻涌，厉啸之声不断，两种鬼物互相纠缠，杀得是难分难解。
Instantly, thick fog surged and eerie howls filled the air as the two ghostly creatures fought fiercely, unable to separate.
lín xuān zhuǎn tóu ， chóng xīn dǎ liàng qǐ shēn qián de lì guǐ 。
林轩转头，重新打量起身前的厉鬼。
Lin Xuan turned his head, re-evaluating the ghost before him. He hesitated for a moment, then waved the Hundred Souls Banner again, summoning the remaining阴魂.
tā chén yín le yī xià ， zài cì huī dòng shǒu zhōng de bǎi hún fān ， jiāng lǐ miàn shèng yú de yīn hún huàn le chū lái 。
他沉吟了一下，再次挥动手中的百魂幡，将里面剩余的阴魂唤了出来。
With disheveled hair and hooked fingers, these souls were terrifying in appearance, their resentment intense. However, compared to the厉鬼 composed of cultivators and beast spirits, they lagged significantly in cultivation.
pī tóu sàn fà ， shí zhǐ rú gōu ， zhè xiē yīn hún de xíng xiàng yě shí fēn kǒng bù ， yuàn qì gèng shì nóng zhòng ， dàn shì cóng dào héng shàng lái shuō ， yǔ nà yóu xiū shì hé yāo shòu hún pò jù jí ér chéng de lì guǐ xiāng bǐ ， zé hái yǒu bù xiǎo de chā jù 。
披头散发，十指如钩，这些阴魂的形象也十分恐怖，怨气更是浓重，但是从道行上来说，与那由修士和妖兽魂魄聚集而成的厉鬼相比，则还有不小的差距。
Fighting them would be like striking a stone with an egg, but Lin Xuan had no choice; he needed time for his next move.
ràng tā men yǔ qí xiāng dòu ， wú yì yú yǐ luǎn jī shí ， kě lín xuān yě bié wú xuǎn zé ， xià miàn de zhāo shù ， tā xū yào shí jiān 。
让他们与其相斗，无异于以卵击石，可林轩也别无选择，下面的招数，他需要时间。
"Go!"
“ qù ！”
“去！”
Although these souls were fierce, they were constrained by the Hundred Souls Banner. Hearing Lin Xuan's command, they did not hesitate, screeching as they lunged at the ghost.
zhè xiē yīn hún suī rán xiōng cán ， què shòu zhì yú bǎi hún fān ， tīng le lín xuān de mìng lìng ， bù gǎn dài màn ， jiān xiào lián lián ， xiàng zhe nà lì guǐ pū le guò qù 。
这些阴魂虽然凶残，却受制于百魂幡，听了林轩的命令，不敢怠慢，尖啸连连，向着那厉鬼扑了过去。
Anger flashed in the ghost's eyes as it opened its mouth to emit a bloodlight beam, instantly dispersing the soul that was closest to it.
lì guǐ de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī fèn nù ， zhāng kāi zuǐ ， pēn chū yī dào xuè guāng ， dùn shí jiāng zuì qián miàn de yī zhī yīn hún dǎ dé hún fēi pò sàn 。
厉鬼的眼中闪过一丝愤怒，张开嘴，喷出一道血光，顿时将最前面的一只阴魂打得魂飞魄散。
However, these souls lacked intelligence and did not fear. The remaining ones still charged forward bravely.
rán ér yīn hún líng zhì shàng dī ， bìng bù zhī dào wèi jù ， cán cún xià lái de yī rán hàn bù wèi sǐ de pū le guò qù 。
然而阴魂灵智尚低，并不知道畏惧，残存下来的依然悍不畏死的扑了过去。
On the other side, the skull fought evenly with the zombie. Observing the battle, Lin Xuan reached into his pocket again, pulling out a small crystal ring in his palm.
lìng yī biān ， kū lóu tóu yě yǔ jiāng shī dǎ dé shì bàn jīn bā liǎng ， miáo le yī yǎn zhàn jú ， lín xuān jiāng shǒu shēn rù huái zhōng ， ná chū lái hòu zhǎng xīn zhōng yǐ duō le yí tòng tǐ jīng yíng de xiǎo huán 。
另一边，骷髅头也与僵尸打得是半斤八两，瞄了一眼战局，林轩将手伸入怀中，拿出来后掌心中已多了一通体晶莹的小环。
The Jade Snow Ring!
bì xuě huán ！
碧雪环！
This was an exquisite spiritual artifact that Lin Xuan had obtained from Zhang Yu. In Drifting Cloud Valley, this treasure was well-known; even most Foundation Establishment cultivators used only middle-grade spiritual artifacts, with few possessing superior ones.
zhè shì lín xuān cóng zhāng yǔ nà ér dé dào de jí pǐn líng qì 。
这是林轩从张羽那儿得到的极品灵器。
Only a very rare few Foundation Establishment cultivators owned top-grade spiritual artifacts.
zài piāo yún gǔ zhōng ， cǐ bǎo wù yě shì dǐng dǐng dà míng ， yào zhī dào jí shǐ shì zhù jī qī xiū shì ， dà bù fèn yòng de yě jǐn jǐn shì zhōng pǐn líng qì ， shǎo shù yōng yǒu shàng pǐn líng qì ， jiù hěn liǎo bù qǐ 。
在飘云谷中，此宝物也是鼎鼎大名，要知道即使是筑基期修士，大部分用的也仅仅是中品灵器，少数拥有上品灵器，就很了不起。
Lin Xuan and Qin Yan were special cases—having such an artifact in the Flexible Spirit Period was almost unheard of. They were exceptions.
zhǐ yǒu fèng máo lín jiǎo de zhù jī qī xiū shì ， cái yōng yǒu jí pǐn líng qì 。
只有凤毛麟角的筑基期修士，才拥有极品灵器。
Until now, Lin Xuan had never used the Jade Snow Ring in battle due to insufficient magical power. The higher the artifact's grade, the more spiritual energy it consumed when activated.
ér xiàng lín xuān hé qín yán zhè yàng ， líng dòng qī jiù yǒu jí pǐn líng qì de ， kě yǐ shuō shì jī běn shàng zhǎo bú dào ， liǎng rén shǔ yú tè shū qíng kuàng 。
而像林轩和秦妍这样，灵动期就有极品灵器的，可以说是基本上找不到，两人属于特殊情况。
After entering the culmination stage of the Flexible Spirit Period, although he could control it, compared to the Cloud Fairy's Autumn Sword, this Jade Snow Ring was refined by Zhang Yu.
yì zhí yǐ lái ， duì dí lín xuān cóng lái méi yǒu yòng guò bì xuě huán ， zuì chū shì fǎ lì xiū wèi bù gòu ， líng qì pǐn jí yuè gāo ， shǐ yòng de shí hòu zì rán yě yuè hào líng lì 。
一直以来，对敌林轩从来没有用过碧雪环，最初是法力修为不够，灵器品级越高，使用的时候自然也越耗灵力。
While non-owners could use such artifacts, they had two drawbacks: they could only utilize about seven-tenths of their original power and required time to activate, not allowing for instant command.
hòu lái jìn rù le líng dòng qī dà yuán mǎn ， suī rán yǐ jīng kě yǐ cāo zòng ， dàn zhè yún zhōng xiān zi de qiū shuǐ jiàn xiāng bǐ ， zhè bì xuě huán què shì bèi zhāng yǔ níng liàn guò de 。
后来进入了灵动期大圆满，虽然已经可以操纵，但这云中仙子的秋水剑相比，这碧雪环却是被张羽凝炼过的。
Thus, Lin Xuan usually did not want to use the Jade Snow Ring. He planned to wait until he achieved Foundation Establishment and surpassed Zhang Yu in strength before re-refining it.
bèi níng liàn guò de bǎo wù ， suī rán fēi zhǔ rén de xiū shì yě kě yǐ shǐ yòng ， dàn què yǒu liǎng gè huài chù ， yī shì zhǐ néng fā huī chū yuán bǎo wù qī bā céng de shí lì ， dì èr ， zé shì bù néng zuò dào shōu fā yóu xīn ， měi yī cì qǐ dòng ， dōu xū yào yí dìng de shí jiān 。
被凝炼过的宝物，虽然非主人的修士也可以使用，但却有两个坏处，一是只能发挥出原宝物七八层的实力，第二，则是不能做到收发由心，每一次启动，都需要一定的时间。
But now, with no other choice, he began fully activating the Jade Snow Ring. To be safe, he also used a middle-grade defensive talisman, providing him with a Qi Shield, golden chain, and Golden Technique for three layers of protection.
suǒ yǐ zài yì bān qíng kuàng xià ， lín xuān bìng bù xiǎng yòng bì xuě huán 。
所以在一般情况下，林轩并不想用碧雪环。
Even if the skull was dispersed by the zombie or the souls were destroyed by the ghost, such defenses would buy him some time.
tā zhǔn bèi děng zì jǐ zhù jī chéng gōng ， bìng qiě shí lì chāo guò zhāng yǔ ， jiāng bì xuě huán chóng xīn níng liàn yī biàn zhī hòu ， zài shǐ yòng 。
他准备等自己筑基成功，并且实力超过张羽，将碧雪环重新凝炼一遍之后，再使用。
Unlike the阴魂 released from the Hundred Souls Banner, this ghostly entity had high cultivation and intelligence, comparable to that of humans. Seeing Lin Xuan's actions, it guessed he was preparing a powerful offensive move.
dàn xiàn zài ， chú le cǐ bǎo ， xiǎng yào zhàn shèng yǎn qián de guǐ wù ， shí zài hěn jí shǒu ， lín xuān yǐ shì bié wú xuǎn zé 。
但现在，除了此宝，想要战胜眼前的鬼物，实在很棘手，林轩已是别无选择。
Anger flared on its face as it leaped into the air, transforming its entire body into a red bloodnet, which descended from above, ensnaring all the souls.
yòng yīn hún chán zhù nà lì guǐ zhī hòu ， lín xuān kāi shǐ quán lì qǐ dòng bì xuě huán le ， wèi le wěn tuǒ ， tā yòu rěn tòng shǐ yòng le yī zhāng zhōng jiē fáng yù fú ， zhè yàng lín xuān de shēn qián jiù yǒu líng lì hù dùn ， hún jīn suǒ ， hái yǒu jīn gāng shù sān céng bǎo hù 。
用阴魂缠住那厉鬼之后，林轩开始全力启动碧雪环了，为了稳妥，他又忍痛使用了一张中阶防御符，这样林轩的身前就有灵力护盾，浑金索，还有金刚术三层保护。
The souls naturally did not submit easily, clawing and biting to break free of the net.
jí shǐ kū lóu bèi jiāng shī jī sàn huò zhě yīn hún bèi lì guǐ miè le ， zhè yàng de fáng yù shǒu duàn ， yě néng bāng zì jǐ dǐ dǎng piàn kè 。
即使骷髅被僵尸击散或者阴魂被厉鬼灭了，这样的防御手段，也能帮自己抵挡片刻。
Another smaller ghostly figure separated. It was the ghost's outer manifestation. Opening its mouth, it spat out some essence blood onto the net.
yǔ bǎi hún fān zhōng fàng chū lái de yīn hún bù tóng ， nà xiū shì hé yāo shòu hún pò jí hé ér chéng de lì guǐ dào héng gāo shēn ， yǐ jīng yǒu bù dī yú rén de líng zhì ， cǐ kè jiàn dào lín xuān de dòng zuò ， yě cāi dào duì fāng kěn dìng shì zài zhǔn bèi shén me lì hài de shā zhāo 。
与百魂幡中放出来的阴魂不同，那修士和妖兽魂魄集合而成的厉鬼道行高深，已经有不低于人的灵智，此刻见到林轩的动作，也猜到对方肯定是在准备什么厉害的杀招。
Instantly, red light intensified, burning the souls that were enveloped by it. In their agonizing screams, they turned to ashes.
tā de liǎn shàng shǎn guò fèn nù ， hǒu jiào zhuó xiǎng yào pū guò lái ， què bèi yīn hún sǐ sǐ chán zhù ， zhè xiē hún pò dǎ bù guò tā ， dàn hàn bù wèi sǐ ， shí zài shì zuì hǎo de pào huī 。
他的脸上闪过愤怒，吼叫着想要扑过来，却被阴魂死死缠住，这些魂魄打不过他，但悍不畏死，实在是最好的炮灰。
Then, the bloodnet retracted into a crimson cloud, distorting several times before reforming as the ghost and merging with its outer manifestation.
lì guǐ dà nù ， téng kōng ér qǐ ， zhěng gè shēn tǐ huàn huà chéng le yī zhāng hóng sè de xuè wǎng ， cóng tiān kōng zhōng sǎ xià ， jiāng yīn hún quán bù zhào zhù 。
厉鬼大怒，腾空而起，整个身体幻化成了一张红色的血网，从天空中洒下，将阴魂全部罩住。
After completing these actions, the ghost turned its large coppery eyes towards Lin Xuan, lunging at him. But it was too late.
yīn hún men zì rán bù kěn jiù fàn ， zhǐ zhuā zuǐ yǎo ， xiǎng yào pò wǎng ér chū 。
阴魂们自然不肯就范，指抓嘴咬，想要破网而出。
Although most of the souls were destroyed, they had given Lin Xuan enough time. The young man opened his eyes, throwing the Jade Snow Ring into the air.
yòu yí gè shāo xiǎo de guǐ yǐng fēn lí le chū lái ， nà shì lì guǐ de shēn wài huà shēn ， tā zhāng kāi zuǐ ， chōng wǎng pēn le yī kǒu jīng xuè 。
又一个稍小的鬼影分离了出来，那是厉鬼的身外化身，他张开嘴，冲网喷了一口精血。
The ring, only as big as a bracelet, expanded in mid-air until it reached the size of a collar.
dùn shí ， hóng guāng dà shèng ， bèi hóng guāng lǒng zhào de yīn hún jiù xiàng shì bèi zhuó shāo le yī yàng ， qī lì de cǎn jiào shēng zhōng ， yí gè gè huà wèi le huī fēi 。
顿时，红光大盛，被红光笼罩的阴魂就像是被灼烧了一样，凄厉的惨叫声中，一个个化为了灰飞。
"Divide!"
rán hòu xuè wǎng shōu lǒng ， biàn chéng yī duǒ hóng yún ， jǐ xià niǔ qū zhī hòu ， chóng xīn huàn huà chéng le lì guǐ ， bìng yǔ zì jǐ de shēn wài huà shēn hé èr wéi yī 。
然后血网收拢，变成一朵红云，几下扭曲之后，重新幻化成了厉鬼，并与自己的身外化身合二为一。
Lin Xuan cast another spell, and the Jade Snow Ring split into two, then four, eight, and finally sixteen identical small rings.
zuò wán zhè yī qiè hòu ， lì guǐ zhuǎn guò tóu lái ， tóng líng dà de yǎn jīng děng zhe lín xuān ， xiàng zhe tā pū le guò lái ， kě xī wéi shí yǐ wǎn 。
做完这一切后，厉鬼转过头来，铜铃大的眼睛等着林轩，向着他扑了过来，可惜为时已晚。
No wonder this was an exquisite spiritual artifact; its displayed power was astonishing.
suī rán yīn hún men sǐ shāng dài jìn ， dàn yě wèi lín xuān zhēng qǔ dào le zú gòu duō de shí jiān ， shào nián zhēng kāi yǎn jīng ， jiāng shǒu zhōng de bì xuě huán pāo le qǐ lái 。
虽然阴魂们死伤殆尽，但也为林轩争取到了足够多的时间，少年睁开眼睛，将手中的碧雪环抛了起来。
The ghost seemed to realize something was amiss. It hesitated before suddenly turning towards the two nearby spirit herbs on the ground.
nà bì xuě huán jǐn yǒu shǒu zhuó dà xiǎo ， kě téng kōng yǐ hòu ， què bù duàn biàn huà ， zhí dào yǒu xiàng quān nà me dà 。
那碧雪环仅有手镯大小，可腾空以后，却不断变化，直到有项圈那么大。
"Can't get it? Want to snatch it?"
“ fēn ！”
“分！”
Lin Xuan grunted, unsurprised by its actions. This creature had originally been formed from countless cultivators and beast spirits who failed in their quest for spiritual herbs, holding an unshakable obsession with them.
The zombie's利爪 flicked up, emitting green light. Surprisingly, it managed to disperse the Firebird Technique. Seeing this, Lin Xuan reached into his pocket and took out a small black banner from his storage bracelet.
The nearby阴气 grew even denser. Using poison to counter poison, Lin Xuan decided to use the Hundred Souls Banner to suppress the ghostly creature before him.
Injecting spiritual energy, dark mist poured out of the banner, mixed with souls refined by Ye Tian.
Although most were ordinary human souls, due to their gruesome deaths, the malevolence was not inferior to that of the nearby厉鬼.
"Combine!"
Lin Xuan muttered as he pointed the Hundred Souls Banner forward. Immediately, the阴魂 intertwined and transformed into a blood-red skull, rushing towards the zombie.
The skull stood three meters tall, opening its bloody maw to emit two streams of fierce light. The zombie roared loudly, plucking a massive tree that required several people to embrace from nearby, hurling it at the skull.
Instantly, thick fog surged and eerie howls filled the air as the two ghostly creatures fought fiercely, unable to separate.

With disheveled hair and hooked fingers, these souls were terrifying in appearance, their resentment intense. However, compared to the厉鬼 composed of cultivators and beast spirits, they lagged significantly in cultivation.
Fighting them would be like striking a stone with an egg, but Lin Xuan had no choice; he needed time for his next move.
