lín xuān yǐ jīng jué dìng dòng shǒu ， dàn liǎn què fǎn ér lù chū le hé shàn de xiào róng ：“ zhè bú shì hùn yuán dào yǒu ma ， zài xià zhèng yǒu shì xiāng qiú 。”
林轩已经决定动手，但脸却反而露出了和善的笑容：“这不是混元道友吗，在下正有事相求。”
Lin Xuan had already decided to act, but his face instead wore a kind smile. "Isn't this friend of the Profound Primordial Way? I have something to request from you."
“ shén me ， yǒu shì xiāng qiú ， gé xià rèn de wǒ ？”
“什么，有事相求，阁下认得我？”
"What? Requesting something? You recognize me?"
lín xuān zhè fān huà shí zài shì tài chū rén yì biǎo le ， jí biàn yǐ hùn yuán lǎo zǔ de chéng fǔ 。 yě bù yóu de liǎn xiàn chà yì zhī sè 。
林轩这番话实在是太出人意表了，即便以混元老祖的城府。也不由得脸现诧异之色。
Lin Xuan's words were too unexpected for even the Sage Ancestor of Profound Primordial to remain unperturbed, as his expression showed clear surprise.
bì jìng tā zhè bǎi yú nián lái ， yì zhí dài zài běn yīn shān mài 。 kě bù jì de zì jǐ shén me shí hòu rèn shí le yī wèi yuán yīng zhōng qī de lǎo guài 。
毕竟他这百余年来，一直待在本阴山脉。可不记得自己什么时候认识了一位元婴中期的老怪。
After all, he had spent over a hundred years in the Profound Yin Mountains and did not recall ever meeting an intermediate-stage Immortal Core cultivator before now.
,“ hē hē ， bǎi yú nián qián ， zài xià céng yǔ dào yǒu yǒu guò yí miàn zhī yuán ， zhǐ bù guò kàn zhè qíng xíng ， dào yǒu sì hū bìng bú jì dé 。” lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， liǎn shàng lù chū sì xiào fēi xiào de shén sè 。
,“呵呵，百余年前，在下曾与道友有过一面之缘，只不过看这情形，道友似乎并不记得。”林轩以手抚额，脸上露出似笑非笑的神色。
"Haha, about a century ago, I met you briefly. But judging by your current situation, it seems like you don't remember," Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead with a nonchalant smile on his face.
mò rán ， tā de zhè fān yán yǔ 。 chún cuì shì xìn kǒu hú zhōu ér yǐ ， mù dì shì fēn sàn zhù yì ， jiàng dī duì fāng de jǐng màn 。
蓦然，他的这番言语。纯粹是信口胡诌而已，目的是分散注意，降低对方的警慢。
Suddenly, he realized that this was just idle chitchat to distract the other party and lower their guard.
“ bǎi yú nián qián ？” hùn yuán lǎo zǔ shuāng méi jǐn suǒ ， huí yì qǐ lái le ， wú qiǎo bù qiǎo 。 nà ge 。 shí duàn 。 tā hái zhēn qù yōu zhōu yóu lì guò yī fān 。
“百余年前？”混元老祖双眉紧锁，回忆起来了，无巧不巧。那个。时段。他还真去幽州游历过一番。
"A century ago?" The Sage Ancestor of Profound Primordial frowned as he recalled. Indeed, back then, he had traveled through Youzhou. However, it had been too long since then, and Lin Xuan's ordinary appearance made it hard for him to recall anything specific.
zhǐ bù guò shí jiān jiǔ yuǎn ， ér lín xuān róng mào yòu tài guò píng fán ， shí zài huí yì bù yòng qǐ lái 。
只不过时间久远，而林轩容貌又太过平凡，实在回忆不用起来。
Listening to the conversation, the Tiger King's anger gradually dissipated. Despite his boldness in front of the Sage Ancestor of Profound Primordial, he was actually quite wary of Phoenix Fairy. Though both were intermediate cultivators on paper, Phoenix Fairy had transformed thanks to the Divine Yang Spirit Pill Lin Xuan provided, making her a late-stage Formed Core cultivator. On the other hand, the Tiger King had just reached his intermediate stage, leaving them with some distance between them.
jiāng liǎng rén de duì huà tīng zài ěr zhōng 。 hēi hǔ yāo wáng liǎn shàng de nù qì què jiàn jiàn xiāo qù ， bié kàn tā zài hùn yuán lǎo zǔ miàn qián háo qíng wàn zhàng ， xiōng pú pāi dé pēng pēng zhí xiǎng ， qí shí xīn zhōng duì yú kǒng què xiān zi ， què jì dàn fēi cháng 。
将两人的对话听在耳中。黑虎妖王脸上的怒气却渐渐消去，别看他在混元老祖面前豪情万丈，胸脯拍得砰砰直响，其实心中对于孔雀仙子，却忌惮非常。
Though not worlds apart, it was still something that could not be ignored.
biǎo miàn shàng liǎng rén dōu shì zhōng qī de xiū wèi ， kě kǒng què xiān zi dāng nián fú yòng le lín xuān tí gōng de jīng yáng shén dān ， yīn huò dé fú ， rú jīn yǐ shì huà xíng zhōng qī dǐng fēng 。 ér hēi hǔ bù guò gāng gāng jìn jí ， zhè zhōng jiān yī jiù yǒu zhe bù xiǎo de chā jù ”，
表面上两人都是中期的修为，可孔雀仙子当年服用了林轩提供的旌阳神丹，因祸得福，如今已是化形中期顶峰。而黑虎不过刚刚晋级，这中间依旧有着不小的差距”，
Even if he had the Sage Ancestor of Profound Primordial's help, Lin Xuan wasn't sure if he could capture Phoenix Fairy alive. However, if another intermediate-stage Immortal Core cultivator joined their side...
suī fēi tiān rǎng zhī bié ， dàn yě jué bù róng hū shì 。
虽非天壤之别，但也绝不容忽视。
The Tiger King's eyes darted as he schemed.
jiù suàn yǒu hùn yuán lǎo zǔ bāng máng 。 shì fǒu jiù néng jiāng jié xiǎo què shēng qín huó zhuō ， hùn yuán xīn zhōng yě méi yǒu duō dà bǎ wò ， bù guò rú guǒ zài yǒu yī wèi yuán yīng zhōng qī de bāng shǒu ，
就算有混元老祖帮忙。是否就能将孑小雀生擒活捉，混元心中也没有多大把握，不过如果再有一位元婴中期的帮手，
Seeing his words effectively relax the two ancient beings, Lin Xuan was overjoyed. He flicked his sleeves and several green sword qi shot out, growing to a yard in length before slashing wildly around them.
hēi hǔ yǎn zhū zhuǎn dòng ， xiǎng rù fēi fēi de móu guā qǐ lái le 。
黑虎眼珠转动，想入非非的谋刮起来了。
The Sage Ancestor of Profound Primordial was taken aback, realizing he had been tricked. Anger and shock mixed as he reached up and tapped the air above him, summoning a golden shield that formed into a radiant golden aura, shielding him from the incoming sword qi.
jiàn zì jǐ de yī fān yán yǔ ， guǒ rán ràng liǎng míng lǎo guài wù fàng sōng le jǐng màn ， lín xuān xīn zhōng dà xǐ ， xiù páo yī fú ， shù dào qīng sè de jiàn qì fēi lüè ér chū 。 yíng fēng bào zhǎng dào zhàng xǔ ， xiàng zhe sì zhōu kuáng pī ér qù 。
见自己的一番言语，果然让两名老怪物放松了警慢，林轩心中大喜，袖袍一拂，数道青色的剑气飞掠而出。迎风暴涨到丈许，向着四周狂劈而去。
Though the Tiger King was lustful, his Formed Core stage allowed for faster reactions. He didn't even use any treasures but instead let hisevil spirit气息 surge like tentacles, fearlessly grabbing at the green sword qi.
hùn yuán lǎo zǔ yī è ， zhè cái míng bái shàng dàng shòu piàn le ， jīng nù jiāo jí ， máng shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài tóu dǐng shàng yī pāi ， yí miàn jīn sè de dùn pái cóng tā kǒu zhōng fēi le chū lái ， huà wèi yī piàn jīn sè de xiān ， xiá ， dǎng zài le qián miàn 。
混元老祖一愕，这才明白上当受骗了，惊怒交集，忙伸出手来，在头顶上一拍，一面金色的盾牌从他口中飞了出来，化为一片金色的先，霞，挡在了前面。
Boom!
hēi hǔ yāo wáng suī rán hào sè ， dàn zuò wèi huà xíng zhōng qī yāo zú ， fǎn yìng zì rán gèng kuài ， tā yě méi yǒu jì chū bǎo wù ， zhǐ shì hún shēn yāo qì fān yǒng ， rú tóng chù shǒu yì bān ， háo wú wèi jù de zhuā xiàng nà xiē qīng sè de qì jiàn 。
黑虎妖王虽然好色，但做为化形中期妖族，反应自然更快，他也没有祭出宝物，只是浑身妖气翻涌，如同触手一般，毫无畏惧的抓像那些青色的气剑。
The explosive sound filled their ears as essence energy burst forth. Though both ancient beings suffered a bit, they were unharmed. They rejoiced privately until their expressions changed dramatically.
hōng lōng lóng ！
轰隆隆！
Especially the Sage Ancestor of Profound Primordial, who turned pale with anger. The array flags were crafted by an ancestor of the Moon Clan, though not incredibly powerful, they were perfect for ambushes. In his earlier days as a pre-Immortal Core cultivator, he had used this treasure to kill many higher-stage cultivators and cherished it greatly. Yet now, it was destroyed without him even using it.
bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， líng lì sì shè ， liǎng gè lǎo guài wù suī chī le yì diǎn kǔ tóu ， dàn bìng wú dà ài ， zhèng àn zì huān xǐ ， kě suí hòu què liǎn sè dà biàn qǐ lái 。
爆裂声传入耳朵，灵力四射，两个老怪物虽吃了一点苦头，但并无大碍，正暗自欢喜，可随后却脸色大变起来。
This caused immense pain in his heart.
yóu qí shì hùn yuán lǎo zǔ ， qì dé liǎn qīng chún bái 。 nà tào zhèn qí 。 nǎi shì mò yuè zú qián bèi jīng xīn liàn zhì ， suī bù néng shuō wēi lì wú bǐ ， què fēi cháng shì hé yòng yú tōu xí ， xī rì tā yuán yīng wèi níng chéng zhī shí ， kào zhe zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， céng miè shā le bù shǎo xiū wèi bǐ zì jǐ gāo de xiū xiān zhě ， xiàng lái zhēn xī yǐ jí ， kě zhè huí ， hái wèi qū shǐ 。 què mò míng qí miào de huǐ zài le lín xuān shǒu zhōng 。
尤其是混元老祖，气得脸青唇白。那套阵旗。乃是墨月族前辈精心炼制，虽不能说威力无比，却非常适合用于偷袭，昔日他元婴未凝成之时，靠着这件宝物，曾灭杀了不少修为比自己高的修仙者，向来珍惜以极，可这回，还未驱使。却莫名其妙的毁在了林轩手中。
Though Lin Xuan did not care about the Tiger King or the Sage Ancestor of Profound Primordial, if they set up a restriction, he would still have some reservations. After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xuan used words to distract them before delivering a thunderous strike that shattered their array.
zěn néng bù ràng tā xīn tòng wú bǐ 。
怎能不让他心痛无比。
This tore away any pretense of civility.
zhè yī rén yī yāo ， lín xuān suī bìng bù fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， dàn ruò shì zài shēn chù duì fāng suǒ shè xià de jìn zhì ， huò duō huò shǎo yě yǒu xiē gù jì ， lín xuān quán héng lì bì ， yòng yán yǔ xī yǐn liǎng gè lǎo jiā huǒ de zhù yì ， suí hòu léi tíng yī jī ， jiāng zhōu wéi de zhèn fǎ pò qù 。
这一人一妖，林轩虽并不放在眼里，但若是再身处对方所设下的禁制，或多或少也有些顾忌，林轩权衡利弊，用言语吸引两个老家伙的注意，随后雷霆一击，将周围的阵法破去。
The Sage Ancestor of Profound Primordial did not speak as he formed an odd hand seal. Essence energy surged from his body, emitting dazzling golden light. He rose like the sun.
rú cǐ yī lái ， zì rán shì sī pò le liǎn pí 。
如此一来，自然是撕破了脸皮。
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed in approval. The Moon Clan’s witchcraft was indeed formidable and unique.
hùn yuán lǎo zǔ yě bù yán yǔ ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， jié le yí gè gǔ guài de fǎ yìn ， líng lì sì yì ， cuǐ càn de jīn guāng pēn bó chū tā de shēn tǐ ， dùn shí zhè ge lǎo guài wù rú tóng yī lún jiāo yáng bān ， rǎn rǎn shēng qǐ 。
混元老祖也不言语，伸出手来，结了一个古怪的法印，灵力四溢，璀璨的金光喷薄出他的身体，顿时这个老怪物如同一轮骄阳般，冉冉升起。
However, it didn't matter to him.
lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi mī ， diǎn tóu zàn xǔ ， mò yuè zú de wū shù guǒ rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zì yǒu jǐ fēn dú dào zhī chù
林轩眼睛微眯，点头赞许，墨月族的巫术果然非同小可，自有几分独到之处
After all, the other party’s realm was only at the peak of pre-Immortal Core, while Lin Xuan had faced high-stage cultivators and even the ancient demon Kala.
dāng rán ， zì jǐ bìng bù fàng zài yǎn zhōng 。
当然，自己并不放在眼中。
Lin Xuan flipped his wrist, and the Yin-Yang Treasure Fan appeared in his palm. He waved it lightly, revealing two streams of yin-yang wind that twisted into a thick double-headed snake. Opening its blood-red mouth, it lunged forward.
shuō dào dǐ ， duì fāng de jìng jiè yě bù guò yuán chū dǐng fēng ， ér lín xuān kě shì yǔ dà xiū shì dōu jiāo guò shǒu ， gèng bié tán nà jiā luó gǔ mó 。
说到底，对方的境界也不过元初顶峰，而林轩可是与大修士都交过手，更别谈那迦罗古魔。
The Sage Ancestor of Profound Primordial’s expression turned solemn as he chanted an odd incantation. The witchcraft flames were no ordinary fire; they were even more powerful than the infant fists of most Immortal Core cultivators. Lin Xuan frowned, underestimating his opponent. He extended his hand with a serious look.
lín xuān shǒu wàn fān zhuǎn ， yīn yáng bǎo shàn jiù fú xiàn zài le zhǎng xīn lǐ miàn 。
林轩手腕翻转，阴阳宝扇就浮现在了掌心里面。
Roar!
qīng qīng yī shàn ， yī hēi yī bái liǎng gǔ yīn yáng guài fēng xiǎn xiàn ， niǔ dòng fān zhuǎn ， huà wèi le yī tiáo shuǐ tǒng cū xì de shuāng tóu mǎng shé ， zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， hěn hěn de xiàng qián pū qù le 。
轻轻一扇，一黑一白两股阴阳怪风显现，扭动翻转，化为了一条水桶粗细的双头蟒蛇，张开血盆大口，狠狠的向前扑去了。
The double-headed snake raised its head and let out a piercing cry. Suddenly, something strange happened. Painful expressions appeared in the snake's eyes as large scales rapidly grew on its body. Its horn split into two.
ér nà lún jiāo yáng zhī zhōng ， hùn yuán lǎo zǔ shén qíng sù mù ， gǔ guài de zhòu yǔ cóng zuǐ zhōng chuán chū ， wū shù huǒ yàn xiǎo de jǐn rú yīng ér quán tou ， dà de zhí jìng què yǒu shù zhàng zuǒ yòu ， cóng tā shēn tǐ lǐ miàn ， yuán yuán bù duàn de jī shè chū lái 。
而那轮骄阳之中，混元老祖神情肃穆，古怪的咒语从嘴中传出，巫术火焰小的仅如婴儿拳头，大的直径却有数丈左右，从他身体里面，源源不断的激射出来。
This was no longer a snake; it had transformed into a dragon.
zhè zì rán bú shì pǔ tōng fán huǒ 。 wēi lì shèn zhì bǐ pǔ tōng de yuán yīng qī xiū shì de yīng huǒ hái yào shèng shàng yī chóu ， lín xuān méi tóu wēi zhòu ， zì jǐ hái zhēn yǒu diǎn xiǎo kàn le duì shǒu ， tā shēn chū shǒu ， shén sè níng zhòng de xiàng qián diǎn chū 。
这自然不是普通凡火。威力甚至比普通的元婴期修士的婴火还要胜上一筹，林轩眉头微皱，自己还真有点小看了对手，他伸出手，神色凝重的向前点出。
Facing the barrage of fireballs, the Yin-Yang Demon Dragon did not fall behind. Opening its mouth, it spat out two huge light waves.
nà shuāng tóu jù mǎng ， yáng qǐ tóu lú ， chū chōng tiān de lì xiào ， jǐn jiē zhe ， guǐ yì de shì qíng shēng le ， mǎng shé de yǎn zhōng ， liú lù chū tòng kǔ zhī sè 。 jiē zhe pāo de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn ， fēi kuài de zhǎng chū yí gè gè jù dà de lín piàn ， tóu shàng de dú jiǎo ， yě fēn liè chéng shuāng 。
那双头巨蟒，扬起头颅，出冲天的厉啸，紧接着，诡异的事情生了，蟒蛇的眼中，流露出痛苦之色。接着抛的身体表面，飞快的长出一个个巨大的鳞片，头上的独角，也分裂成双。
Lin Xuan looked satisfied as he threw the Yin-Yang Treasure Fan, which turned into a streak of lightning that entered the dragon's body.
zhè nǎ lǐ hái shì mǎng shé 。 gēn běn jiù huà wèi jiāo lóng le 。
这哪里还是蟒蛇。根本就化为蛟龙了。
The Sage Ancestor of Profound Primordial and Lin Xuan were already in full combat mode. Lin Xuan had no reason to be idle. The Tiger King was filled with resentment and anger, pounding his chest as he let out a deafening roar from his throat.
miàn duì pū tiān gài dì de huǒ qiú ， yīn yáng mó jiāo háo bù xùn sè ， zhāng kāi dà kǒu ， jiù pēn chū liǎng dào jù dà de guāng bō 。
面对铺天盖地的火球，阴阳魔蛟毫不逊色，张开大口，就喷出两道巨大的光波。
Hisevil spirit气息 surged, far more condensed than expected, enveloping him like a tidal wave. Lin Xuan's expression turned surprised; this situation seemed unusual. Could the Tiger King have some bloodline of a savage beast?
yī hēi yī bái ！
一黑一白！
Just as he pondered this, theevil spirit气息 solidified into black scales that covered his body except for two bright red eyes.
lín xuān liǎn shàng fēi cháng mǎn yì ， yī yáng shǒu ， jū rán jiāng nà yīn yáng bǎo shàn diū le chū qù ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， mò rù jiāo lóng de shēn tǐ 。
林轩脸上非常满意，一扬手，居然将那阴阳宝扇丢了出去，化为一道惊虹，没入蛟龙的身体。
Jade Armor ofevil spirit气息?
hùn yuán lǎo zǔ yǔ lín xuān yǐ dà dǎ chū shǒu 。 lín xuān zài páng biān zì rán yě méi yǒu xián zhe de lǐ yóu ， cǐ yāo xīn zhōng yuàn nù 。 hěn hěn chuí le chuí xiōng kǒu ， cóng hóu lóng zhōng ， chū yī shēng jīng tiān dòng dì de jù hǒu 。
混元老祖与林轩已大打出手。林轩在旁边自然也没有闲着的理由，此妖心中怨怒。狠狠捶了捶胸口，从喉咙中，出一声惊天动地的巨吼。
Lin Xuan frowned; this was going to be tricky. This armor was different from what Lin Xuan wanted to forge—it was a natural ability of rare beasts like the indestructible body, making it extremely difficult to deal with. Beasts with such abilities were often more formidable than their peers.
yāo qì fān yǒng 。 ér qiě bǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào níng hòu dé duō 。 jìng rán rú cháo shuǐ bān 。 jiāng pāo jù dà de shēn qū bāo guǒ ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī chà yì zhī sè ， zhè zhǒng qíng xíng yǒu xiē gǔ guài ， mò fēi cǐ yāo yě yǒu mán huāng yì shòu de xuè tǒng ？
妖气翻涌。而且比想象的还要凝厚得多。竟然如潮水般。将抛巨大的身躯包裹，林轩脸上露出一丝诧异之色，这种情形有些古怪，莫非此妖也有蛮荒异兽的血统？
Lin Xuan's target was the Sage Ancestor of Profound Primordial, so he didn't want to engage this Formed Core cultivator directly. After a moment’s hesitation, Lin Xuan reached into his waistband and summoned the Spirit Ghost Bag. He cast a spell on it, and dark winds surged as the Corpse Demon rushed out.
zhèng zhè me xiǎng zhe ， què jiàn nà xiē yāo qì shí zhì huà ， biàn wèi le yī jiàn hēi sè de lín jiǎ 。 biǎo miàn wū guāng shǎn shuò ， zhěng gè shēn tǐ dōu bèi fù gài le ， jǐn liú xià yī duì xuè hóng liàng de yǎn zhū 。
正这么想着，却见那些妖气实质化，变为了一件黑色的鳞甲。表面乌光闪烁，整个身体都被覆盖了，仅留下一对血红亮的眼珠。
The Sage Ancestor of Profound Primordial's eyes widened in surprise; he never expected such a powerful Corpse Demon to be controlled by the other party. He began to lose heart.
yāo qì zhàn jiǎ ？
妖气战甲？
Meanwhile, the Tiger King was far more impulsive and reckless. Though equally surprised, he showed no fear as he let out an eerie roar and rushed forward.
lín xuān méi tóu wēi zhòu ， zhè kě yǒu xiē nán chán le 。 zhè zhǒng zhàn jiǎ yǔ lín xuān xiǎng yào liàn zhì de bù tóng ， nǎi shì jí shǎo shù yāo shòu de tiān fù shén tōng ， jiù rú bù miè zhī tǐ yī yàng ， nán chán wú bǐ 。 yōng yǒu cǐ lèi tiān fù de yāo shòu ， wǎng wǎng yào bǐ tóng jí de guài wù hái lì hài yī xiē 。
林轩眉头微皱，这可有些难缠了。这种战甲与林轩想要炼制的不同，乃是极少数妖兽的天赋神通，就如不灭之体一样，难缠无比。拥有此类天赋的妖兽，往往要比同级的怪物还厉害一些。
This brute didn't even use his treasures but instead clenched his fist, producing a series of crackling sounds. In theevil spirit气息, his arm suddenly elongated and struck the Corpse Demon's face with great force.
Lin Xuan had already decided to act, but his face instead wore a kind smile. "Isn't this friend of the Profound Primordial Way? I have something to request from you."
"What? Requesting something? You recognize me?"
Lin Xuan's words were too unexpected for even the Sage Ancestor of Profound Primordial to remain unperturbed, as his expression showed clear surprise.
After all, he had spent over a hundred years in the Profound Yin Mountains and did not recall ever meeting an intermediate-stage Immortal Core cultivator before now.

Facing the barrage of fireballs, the Yin-Yang Demon Dragon did not fall behind. Opening its mouth, it spat out two huge light waves.
Black and white!
Lin Xuan looked satisfied as he threw the Yin-Yang Treasure Fan, which turned into a streak of lightning that entered the dragon's body.
