kě shì tā de běn mìng fǎ rán liàn zhì de shí hòu bìng méi yǒu yòng duō shǎo zhēn dàn jīng guò shù bǎi nián de yīng huǒ péi yǎng 。 yě xī lì yì cháng ， ér qiě hái fù dài yǒu jǐ zhǒng gǔ guài zhòu shù ， duì fāng yī bù liú shén ， jiù huì bèi yīn dú mì fǎ suǒ shāng 。
可是他的本命法然炼制的时候并没有用多少珍但经过数百年的婴火培养。也犀利异常，而且还附带有几种古怪咒术，对方一不留神，就会被阴毒秘法所伤。
However, during the refinement of his innate soul technique, he did not use much precious material. After hundreds of years of cultivation under the nurturing flames, it had become extremely sharp and also came with several strange incantations. If the opponent was not careful, they would be injured by these secret techniques.
yǐ qián píng zhe zhè jiàn ān wù ， jí shǐ miàn duì tóng jiē cún zài ， tā wǎng wǎng yě néng qiǎng zhàn xiān jī ， lì yú bù bài zhī dì ， méi xiǎng dào zhè yī cì ， bǎo wù hái méi yǒu huī sī háo xiào guǒ ， jū rán jiù mò míng qí miào de bèi huǐ le 。
以前凭着这件安物，即使面对同阶存在，他往往也能抢占先机，立于不败之地，没想到这一次，宝物还没有挥丝毫效果，居然就莫名其妙的被毁了。
Previously, relying on this treasure, even when facing peers, he often managed to gain an advantage and remain invincible. He did not expect that this time, the treasure had no effect at all before being mysteriously destroyed.
hùn yuán lǎo zǔ jīng nù zhēn jí 。 jiā shàng cǐ bǎo běn lái yòu yǔ tā yǒu zhe xīn shén lián xì ， cù bù jí fáng ， yī xià zi jiù shòu le zhòng chuāng 。
混元老祖惊怒真集。加上此宝本来又与他有着心神联系，猝不及防，一下子就受了重创。
The Great Ancestor of Mixed Essence was shocked and angered. Given his connection with the treasure through his soul, he was caught off guard and suffered a severe blow.
lín xuān jiāng zhè yī qiè kàn zài yǎn lǐ ， liǎn shàng shǎn guò sēn hán de shā qì ， chèn tā bìng ， yào tā mìng ， duì dài dí rén ， lín xuān xiàng lái bú huì shǒu xià liú qíng 。
林轩将这一切看在眼里，脸上闪过森寒的杀气，趁他病，要他命，对待敌人，林轩向来不会手下留情。
Lin Xuan watched everything unfold, his face showing icy hatred. Seizing the opportunity when his enemy was weak, Lin Xuan would not show mercy to his enemies.
yī zhǐ diǎn chū ， qīng huǒ jiàn qù shì yuè jìn jí ， hěn hěn de xiàng zhe duì shǒu pī cì guò qù 。
一指点出，青火剑去势越劲急，狠狠的向着对手劈刺过去。
With one finger strike, the Green Flame Sword's momentum increased even more as it fiercely stabbed towards the opponent.
hùn yuán lǎo zǔ xī le kǒu liáng qì ， máng shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， guāng huá yī shǎn ， shēn qián dùn shí duō chū le yí miàn bái sēn sēn de dùn pái 。
混元老祖吸了口凉气，忙伸出手来，在腰间一拍，光华一闪，身前顿时多出了一面白森森的盾牌。
The Great Ancestor of Mixed Essence took a sharp breath and quickly reached out, tapping his waist. A flash of light appeared before him, and a white,森然 shield materialized in front of him.
cǐ dùn nǎi shì yòng shòu gǔ suǒ liàn ， zhēng níng wú bǐ ， dàn què yōng yǒu jí qiáng de fáng yù ， yǔ qīng huǒ jiàn hěn hěn de zhuàng zài yì qǐ 。
此盾乃是用兽骨所炼，狰狞无比，但却拥有极强的防御，与青火剑狠狠的撞在一起。
Made from beast bones, this shield was terrifyingly fierce but had extremely strong defensive capabilities. It clashed with the Green Flame Sword, its surface showing several cracks.
gōng shì bèi dǎng zhù ， dàn dùn pái de biǎo miàn què yě chū xiàn jǐ sī liè hén le 。
攻势被挡住，但盾牌的表面却也出现几丝裂痕了。
"Not bad, not bad."
“ bù cuò ， bù cuò 。”
“不错，不错。”
Lin Xuan did not get angry; instead, he clapped his hands lightly: "You are indeed the Great Elder of the Moon Shadow Clan. You do have some treasures on you. But do you think a few items can escape my family's hands?"
lín xuān bù jǐn bù nù 。 fǎn ér qīng qīng de gǔ qǐ zhǎng lái le ：“ gé xià bù kuì shì mò yuè zú dà zhǎng lǎo ， shēn shàng guǒ rán yǒu jǐ jiàn bǎo wù 。 bù guò nǐ yǐ wéi ” píng jiè zhè jǐ jiàn dōng dōng 。 jiù néng táo guò lín jiā rén de shǒu xīn me ？”
林轩不仅不怒。反而轻轻的鼓起掌来了：“阁下不愧是墨月族大长老，身上果然有几件宝物。不过你以为”凭借这几件东东。就能逃过林家人的手心么？”
Before the words were fully spoken, Lin Xuan released his divine consciousness. The Green Flame Sword flashed and retreated several feet before fiercely stabbing at the opponent.
huà yīn wèi luò ， lín xuān yǐ jiāng shén niàn chū ， qīng huǒ jiàn yī shǎn ， tuì hòu shù chǐ ， suí hòu fēng kuáng de xiǎng zhe duì shǒu zǎn cì 。
话音未落，林轩已将神念出，青火剑一闪，退后数尺，随后疯狂的想着对手攒刺。
The Great Ancestor of Mixed Essence was already terrified, only able to manipulate that white bone shield to block attacks temporarily.
hùn yuán lǎo zǔ yǐ shì xīn jīng dǎn zhàn ， zhǐ néng cāo zòng nà bái gǔ dùn pái ， zuǒ zhē yòu dǎng 。 zàn bǎo yī shí de píng ān 。
混元老祖已是心惊胆战，只能操纵那白骨盾牌，左遮右挡。暂保一时的平安。
Unfortunately, Lin Xuan had many tricks up his sleeve, not just the Green Flame Sword.
kě xī lín xuān shǒu duàn jí duō ， yòu bìng fēi jǐn yǒu zhè qū qū qīng huǒ 。
可惜林轩手段极多，又并非仅有这区区青火。
With a flick of his fingers, he cast a spell into the Yin-Yang Demon Jie.
qū zhǐ wēi dàn ， yī dào fǎ jué yǐ mò rù nà yīn yáng mó jiāo lǐ miàn 。
屈指微弹，一道法诀已没入那阴阳魔蛟里面。
This jie raised its head and once again emitted the heart-stopping black and white阴风 from its blood-filled maw.
cǐ jiāo yáng qǐ tóu lú 。 xuè pén dà kǒu zhī zhōng ， zài cì pēn chū nà lìng rén xīn jì de hēi bái yīn fēng 。
此蛟扬起头颅。血盆大口之中，再次喷出那令人心悸的黑白阴风。
Lin Xuan did not stop there. With his left hand, a small gourd appeared in his palm.
ér lín xuān hái bù bà shǒu ， zuǒ shǒu fān zhuǎn ， yī quán tou dà xiǎo de hú lú jiù fú xiàn zài le zhǎng xīn lǐ 。
而林轩还不罢手，左手翻转，一拳头大小的葫芦就浮现在了掌心里。
"Rise!"
“ qǐ ！”
“起！”
Lin Xuan threw this treasure towards his head, palms clasped together as he cast another spell. The gourd emitted a bright light, turning red and growing significantly larger before splitting into three parts, releasing shocking amounts of essence qi.
lín xuān jiāng cǐ bǎo wàng tóu dǐng pāo qù ， shuāng shǒu hé shí ， yī dào fǎ jué mò rù ， hú sǒng líng guāng yī shǎn ， jìng rán biàn chéng le xiān hóng zhī sè 。 ér qiě tǐ jī yě zhǎng dà le xǔ duō 。
林轩将此宝望头顶抛去，双手合十，一道法诀没入，葫耸灵光一闪，竟然变成了鲜红之色。而且体积也涨大了许多。
"An ancient treasure!"
suí hòu yī shǎn ， yī fēn wèi sān ， jīng rén de líng qì cóng lǐ miàn shì fàng chū lái 。
随后一闪，一分为三，惊人的灵气从里面释放出来。
The Great Ancestor of Mixed Essence's pupils constricted. He had experienced the pain of an ancient treasure in the幽州 when he was at the same cultivation stage. Those relics from prehistoric times were all extraordinary, making it impossible for him to win regardless of his higher rank and wealth.
“ gǔ bǎo ！”
“古宝！”
Despite his reluctance, as a formidable figure, he forcefully suppressed any thoughts of reclaiming the treasure. For now, there was no chance of getting it back; he would have to find another way later.
hùn yuán lǎo zǔ tóng kǒng wēi suō 。 yǐ qián tā qù yōu zhōu yóu lì de shí hòu ， jiù zài yī tóng jiē xiū shì de shǒu zhōng 。 chī guò gǔ bǎo de kǔ tóu ， zhì jīn yìn xiàng shēn kè ， nà xiē tài gǔ shí qī chuán xià lái de bǎo wù ， měi yī jiàn dōu fēi tóng xiǎo kě ，，
混元老祖瞳孔微缩。以前他去幽州游历的时候，就在一同阶修士的手中。吃过古宝的苦头，至今印象深刻，那些太古时期传下来的宝物，每一件都非同小可，，
With this in mind, he did not hesitate. He reached out and tapped his waist several times, summoning a series of eight different magical treasures.
duì fāng bù jǐn jìng jiè bǐ zì jǐ gāo shàng yī chóu ， shēn jiā hái rú cǐ fēng hòu ， wú lùn rú hé ， zì jǐ yě méi yǒu jī huì qǔ shèng le 。
对方不仅境界比自己高上一筹，身家还如此丰厚，无论如何，自己也没有机会取胜了。
Lin Xuan felt somewhat puzzled by the abundance of treasures but their faint light indicated they were of lower quality, even some failed products.
hùn yuán lǎo zǔ dào dǐ shì yí dài xiāo xióng ， jǐn guǎn xīn lǐ wàn bān bù shě ， dàn hái shì qiáng rěn zhe jiāng wàng niàn qiā chú ， zhì shǎo xiàn zài 。 zì jǐ jué bù kě néng duó huí bǎo wù ， hái shì yǐ hòu màn màn zài xiǎng bàn fǎ
混元老祖到底是一代枭雄，尽管心里万般不舍，但还是强忍着将妄念掐除，至少现在。自己绝不可能夺回宝物，还是以后慢慢再想办法
What use could such items have? Even with Lin Xuan's composure, he showed signs of confusion on his face.
le 。
了。
The Great Ancestor of Mixed Essence's expression was solemn as he muttered obscure incantations. Under his spell, the magical treasures exploded one after another.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， tā bù zài yóu yù ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān lián pāi ， dāo qiāng jiàn jǐ ， yī lián qī bā jiàn fǎ bǎo bèi jì le qǐ lái ，，
念及至此，他不再犹豫，伸出手来，在腰间连拍，刀枪剑戟，一连七八件法宝被祭了起来，，
Bright lights filled the air, and the fragments scattered like miniature meteors.
lín xuān lüè lüè gǎn dào yǒu xiē qí guài ， bǎo wù suī duō ， dàn líng guāng què dōu pǒ wèi àn dàn ， xiǎn rán zhè xiē fǎ bǎo pǐn jí jiào dī ， shèn zhì yǒu yī xiē , bù guò shì liàn zhì shī bài de cán cì pǐn ér yǐ 。
林轩略略感到有些奇怪，宝物虽多，但灵光却都颇为黯淡，显然这些法宝品级较低，甚至有一些,不过是炼制失败的残次品而已。
Lin Xuan's face changed. He no longer focused on attacking with his magical treasures but instead summoned the Black Iron Dragon Armor Shield to protect himself.
duì fāng ná chū zhè yàng de dōng xī 。 néng yǒu shén me yòng tú ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， liǎn shàng yě lù chū le bù jiě zhī sè 。
对方拿出这样的东西。能有什么用途，即便以林轩的城府，脸上也露出了不解之色。
The Great Ancestor of Mixed Essence showed regret in his eyes but did not delay. He transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the horizon.
hùn yuán lǎo zǔ de biǎo qíng sù mù wú bǐ ， nán nán de tǔ chū huì sè de zhòu yǔ ， zài tā fǎ jué yī cuī zhī xià 。 pēng pēng zhī shēng bù jué chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà xiē fǎ bǎo jìng rán yì qǐ bào zhà diào le 。
混元老祖的表情肃穆无比，喃喃的吐出晦涩的咒语，在他法诀一催之下。嘭嘭之声不绝传入耳朵，那些法宝竟然一起爆炸掉了。
This old monster, seeing the situation worsening, abandoned his friends."
líng guāng yào yǎn ， màn tiān de suì piàn rú suō xiǎo bǎn de liú xīng yì bān 。
灵光耀眼，漫天的碎片如缩小版的流星一般。
There was nothing surprising about this; cultivators were inherently selfish.
lín xuān liǎn sè bù yóu de yī biàn 。 gù bù dé zài qū shǐ fǎ bǎo gōng jī ， xiān jiāng wū jīn lóng jiǎ dùn jì qǐ ，，
林轩脸色不由的一变。顾不得再驱使法宝攻击，先将乌金龙甲盾祭起，，
The explosion of eight magical treasures was incredibly powerful. Even if an advanced middle-stage immortals could survive, they would still be injured to some extent. However, Lin Xuan's divine perception clearly outmatched those of the same cultivation stage, allowing him to remain calm despite such a sneak attack.
hùn yuán lǎo zǔ yǎn zhōng shǎn guò tòng xī zhī sè ， què bìng bù dān gē ， shēn xíng yī zhuǎn ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng fēi xiàng le tiān biān 。
混元老祖眼中闪过痛惜之色，却并不耽搁，身形一转，化为一道惊虹飞向了天边。
After the echoes faded, Lin Xuan looked in the direction the Great Ancestor of Mixed Essence fled, his brows slightly raised with a hint of mockery on his lips.
zhè lǎo guài wù ， yǎn jiàn xíng shì kān yōu ， jìng rán diū xià le péng yǒu ”
这老怪物，眼见形势堪忧，竟然丢下了朋友”
This old monster was indeed impressive. To escape, he could discard so many treasures without hesitation. Knowing that even low-grade magical treasures were far more valuable than spiritual artifacts, several together would be no small sum; it seemed the other party really did not mind losing them."
dàn yě méi shén me hǎo jīng qí 。 xiū xiān zhī rén běn jiù zì sī zì lì 。
但也没什么好惊奇。修仙之人本就自私自利。
Clever as he was, all of his efforts were in vain. Lin Xuan released his divine consciousness and quickly locked onto the Great Ancestor's aura.
qī bā jiàn fǎ bǎo zì bào de wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， jiǎ ruò huàn yī míng yuán yīng zhōng qī de lǎo guài wù ， jí shǐ néng gòu chēng guò ， duō duō shǎo shǎo yě huì guà yī xiē cǎi de ， dàn lín xuān shén tòu míng xiǎn bǐ tóng jiē xiū shì shèng shàng yī chóu ， miàn duì zhè yàng de tōu xí ， yī jiù cóng róng wú bǐ 。
七八件法宝自爆的威力非同小可，假若换一名元婴中期的老怪物，即使能够撑过，多多少少也会挂一些彩的，但林轩神透明显比同阶修士胜上一筹，面对这样的偷袭，依旧从容无比。
His body enveloped in green light, he transformed into a streak of light to chase after him.
dài yú bō sàn qù ， wàng zhe hùn yuán lǎo zǔ tōu zǒu de fāng xiàng ， lín xuān méi tóu wēi tiāo ， zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū jǐ lǚ jī cháo 。
待余波散去，望着混元老祖偷走的方向，林轩眉头微挑，嘴角边露出几缕讥嘲。
On the ground, only the Corpse Demon and the Black Tiger King continued their fierce battle, exchanging blows that sent sand flying.
zhè lǎo guài wù què shí bù cuò 。 wèi le táo pǎo ， jū rán néng háo bù yóu yù de jiāng zhè me duō fǎ bǎo shě diào 。 xū zhī ， jiù suàn shì pǐn cì jiào dī de fǎ bǎo ， qí jià zhí yě yuǎn yuǎn guò le líng qì ， qī bā jiàn yì qǐ ， jiù suàn zhōng jiān hái yǒu cán cì pǐn ， zhè yě bú shì xiǎo shù mù ， duì fāng hái zhēn shě de ”
这老怪物确实不错。为了逃跑，居然能毫不犹豫的将这么多法宝舍掉。须知，就算是品次较低的法宝，其价值也远远过了灵器，七八件一起，就算中间还有残次品，这也不是小数目，对方还真舍得”
What was strange was that this place was only twenty miles from the Peacock's lair. The battle was so intense, yet the lord of Cangming Mountain showed no signs of presence.
xīn jī bù cuò ， kě xī tā zhè yī qiè nǔ lì quán dōu shì tú láo de ， lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， hěn kuài jiù jiāng hùn yuán lǎo zǔ de qì jī suǒ dìng le 。
心机不错，可惜他这一切努力全都是徒劳的，林轩将神识放出，很快就将混元老祖的气机锁定了。
Was she just not in her lair or had something else happened?
hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ 。 yě huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng zhuī le guò qù 。
浑身青芒大起。也化为一道惊虹追了过去。
On the other side,
yuán dì ， jiù zhǐ shèng xià shī mó yǔ hēi hǔ yāo wáng è dòu bù zhǐ ， nǐ yī quán ， wǒ yī jiǎo ， dǎ dé fēi shā zǒu shí 。
原地，就只剩下尸魔与黑虎妖王恶斗不止，你一拳，我一脚，打得飞沙走石。
The quiet forest lay in ruins as Cloud Peak fell to the ground. His appearance was pitiful; his flesh and blood withered like a desiccated corpse dug up from a grave.
gǔ guài de shì 。 zhè lǐ jù lí kǒng què de dòng fǔ bù guò èr shí yú lǐ ， shuāng fāng zhàn dé rú cǐ jīng tiān dòng dì ， kě nà wèi cāng míng shān de lǐng zhǔ ， què bàn diǎn shēng xī yě wú 。
古怪的是。这里距离孔雀的洞府不过二十余里，双方战得如此惊天动地，可那位沧溟山的领主，却半点声息也无。
Dragon Sister was an exotic creature from the wilderness, too violent. The senior clearly stated that unless there were the divine powers of an advanced middle-stage immortal, one could not control Dragon Sister's spirit within the banner.
tā jiū jìng shì qià qiǎo bù zài dòng fǔ ， hái shì yù jiàn le bié de biàn gù ？
她究竟是恰巧不在洞府，还是遇见了别的变故？
To protect his wife's escape, Cloud Peak had no choice but to ignore this warning. If he did not summon the sister's soul, how could he possibly match three old monsters at the same cultivation stage?
zài shuō lìng yī biān 。
再说另一边。
He used his essence blood to suppress Dragon Sister's soul, which was akin to drinking poison to quench thirst. In less than an hour, his entire essence blood had been drained by ten percent. He felt as if he were.
yōu jìng de shù lín yī piàn láng jí ， kě lián yún fēng yǐ zāi dǎo zài dì ， cǐ kè tā de yàng zi qī cǎn wú bǐ ， hún shēn de xuè ròu dōu kū wěi le xià qù ， fǎng fú yī jù bèi cóng fén mù zhōng wā chū lái de gān shī 。
幽静的树林一片狼藉，可怜云峰已栽倒在地，此刻他的样子凄惨无比，浑身的血肉都枯萎了下去，仿佛一具被从坟墓中挖出来的干尸。
If a condensation period cultivator, he would have already perished. Although he managed to survive, it was only by苟延残喘 (barely hanging on).
lóng mèi nǎi mán huāng qí chóng 。 lì qì tài zhòng 。 nà wèi qián bèi shuō dé qīng chǔ ， chú fēi yǒu yuán yīng hòu qī dà xiū shì de shén tōng ， fǒu zé jué bù néng qū shǐ fān qí zhōng de lóng mèi zhī pò ，
龙妹乃蛮荒奇虫。戾气太重。那位前辈说得清楚，除非有元婴后期大修士的神通，否则绝不能驱使幡旗中的龙妹之魄，
Without the replenishment of essence blood, Dragon Sister's soul no longer obeyed his commands and returned to the banner.
rán ér yún fēng wèi le yǎn hù qī zǐ táo tuō ， què zǎo yǐ gù bù dé ， ruò bù jiāng mèi hún jì chū ， zì jǐ yī wǎng jìn jí de yuán yīng wū shī 。 jiān zěn me néng yǔ sān míng tóng jiē de lǎo guài wù xiāng pǐ dí ？
然而云峰为了掩护妻子逃脱，却早已顾不得，若不将妹魂祭出，自己一网晋级的元婴巫师。尖怎么能与三名同阶的老怪物相匹敌？
The three old monsters staggered as they landed.
tā yòng jīng xuè yā xià lóng mèi zhī hún fǎn shì ， kě zhè zhǒng fāng fǎ ， bù guò shì yǐn zhèn zhǐ kě ér yǐ ， jǐn jǐn bú dào yī dùn fàn gōng fu 。 tā hún shēn de jīng xuè jiù bèi xī qù le shí zhī **。 zhěng gè rén fǎng rú 。
他用精血压下龙妹之魂反噬，可这种方法，不过是饮鸩止渴而已，仅仅不到一顿饭功夫。他浑身的精血就被吸去了十之**。整个人仿如。
They had also suffered significant losses earlier. The spider soul's power far exceeded their imagination; even if it was not at the level of a late-stage cultivator, its strength was comparable. If time dragged on, who would win remained uncertain.
ruò shì níng dān qī xiū xiān zhě 。 zǎo yǐ yǔn luò ， tā suī rán miǎn qiǎng huó zhe ， dàn yě bù guò shì gǒu yán cán chuǎn bà le 。
若是凝丹期修仙者。早已陨落，他虽然勉强活着，但也不过是芶延残喘罢了。
Their eyes grew hotter as they looked at that banner.
ér méi yǒu le jīng xuè de bǔ chōng ， lóng mèi zhī hún bù zài tīng cóng qū shǐ ， chóng xīn huí dào le fān qí 。
而没有了精血的补充，龙妹之魂不再听从驱使，重新回到了幡旗。
This really was a lucky find!
sān míng lǎo guài wù liàng qiàng luò dì 。
三名老怪物踉跄落地。
They glanced at the lying down witch. She posed no threat now. The woman in courtly attire hesitated for a moment before slowly walking over.
However, during the refinement of his innate soul technique, he did not use much precious material. After hundreds of years of cultivation under the nurturing flames, it had become extremely sharp and also came with several strange incantations. If the opponent was not careful, they would be injured by these secret techniques.
Previously, relying on this treasure, even when facing peers, he often managed to gain an advantage and remain invincible. He did not expect that this time, the treasure had no effect at all before being mysteriously destroyed.

Lin Xuan did not stop there. With his left hand, a small gourd appeared in his palm.
"Rise!"
Lin Xuan threw this treasure towards his head, palms clasped together as he cast another spell. The gourd emitted a bright light, turning red and growing significantly larger before splitting into three parts, releasing shocking amounts of essence qi.
