liǎng nǚ mù dèng kǒu dāi ， lín xuān wèi miǎn yě tài guò dà dǎn ， kǒng què yǔ miào yōu xiān zi bù yóu de duì shì yī yǎn ， xiāng gù hài rán 。
两女目瞪口呆，林轩未免也太过大胆，孔雀与妙幽仙子不由得对视一眼，相顾骇然。
The two women stared in shock, Lin Xuan was indeed too bold. The Peacock and the Mysterious Profound Fairy exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with alarm.
ér lín xuān biǎo miàn suī mǎn bù zài hū ， dàn xīn zhōng qí shí yě shì shí fēn jǐng tì zhe ， tā zhī suǒ yǐ zhè me zuò ， dāng rán bú shì wèi le chěng kǒu shé zhī lì shén me 。
而林轩表面虽满不在乎，但心中其实也是十分警惕着，他之所以这么做，当然不是为了逞口舌之利什么。
Though Lin Xuan appeared nonchalant on the surface, he was actually quite vigilant inside. He did this not for mere show; as per ancient texts, Tiaomu, one of the Four Fiends in the Spirit Realm, was known for its fierce temper. By angering it first, a fight might be slightly easier.
jì de gǔ shū shàng suǒ shuō ， jí biàn zài líng jiè sì xiōng zhī zhōng ， táo wù yě shì pí qì bào zào wén míng ， zhè yàng de huà ， xiān jiāng tā qì gè bàn sǐ ， dǎ dòu de shí hòu shuō bù dìng hái huì shāo wēi qīng sōng yī xiē 。
记得古书上所说，即便在灵界四凶之中，梼杌也是脾气暴躁闻名，这样的话，先将它气个半死，打斗的时候说不定还会稍微轻松一些。
Seeing the opponent make a move to pounce, Lin Xuan raised his right hand. A fireball the size of a head appeared, shimmering with green light and extremely peculiar.
jiàn duì fāng zuò shì yù pū ， lín xuān jiāng yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī tuán tóu lú dà xiǎo de huǒ yàn fú xiàn ér chū ， bì guāng shǎn shǎn ， guǐ yì dào le jí chù 。
见对方作势欲扑，林轩将右手抬起，一团头颅大小的火焰浮现而出，碧光闪闪，诡异到了极处。
"Green Illusion Profound Fire!"
“ bì huàn yōu huǒ ！”
“碧幻幽火！”
The Mysterious Profound Fairy gasped in surprise. She recognized this top-secret technique from her own clan's legends. Her expression was a mix of shock and confusion—could it be that he is also a witch? Why had she never seen such a technique before?
miào yōu xiān zi tuō kǒu jīng hū ， tā bì jìng chū shēn mò yuè zú ， zì rán rèn de běn zú chuán shuō zhōng de dǐng jiān mì shù 。
妙幽仙子脱口惊呼，她毕竟出身墨月族，自然认得本族传说中的顶尖秘术。
Tiaomu's eyes flashed with ferocity, seemingly not taking the strange magical flames seriously. Lin Xuan frowned and reached into his waistband, pulling out a shield about the size of a palm.
liǎn shàng jīng yà zhī yú ， gèng duō chū le jǐ fēn yí huò ， nán dào duì fāng jìng rán yě shì wū shī me ， wèi hé zì jǐ cóng lái yě bù céng jiàn guò ？
脸上惊讶之余，更多出了几分疑惑，难道对方竟然也是巫师么，为何自己从来也不曾见过？
The surface glinted with dark light, its ancient patterns resembling dragon scales.
táo wù yǎn zhōng xiōng guāng shǎn shuò ， sì hū bìng méi yǒu jiāng zhè guǐ yì de mó yán fàng zài yǎn zhōng ， lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， shēn shǒu zài yāo jiān qīng mǒ ， yí miàn bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de dùn pái fēi lüè ér chū 。
梼杌眼中凶光闪烁，似乎并没有将这诡异的魔炎放在眼中，林轩眉头一皱，伸手在腰间轻抹，一面巴掌大小的盾牌飞掠而出。
Of course, it was the Black Dragon Armor Shield.
biǎo miàn wū guāng shǎn shuò ， huā wén gǔ piáo ， kàn shàng qù jìng yǔ lóng lín yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù 。
表面乌光闪烁，花纹古朴，看上去竟与龙鳞有几分相似之处。
Tiaomu was one of the Four Fiends in the Spirit Realm. Although this was just a fragmentary soul, it had the patience to wait. However, after being provoked by Lin Xuan's words, it no longer had the patience and suddenly emitted a vicious aura. Red light flashed as it vanished from sight.
bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì hěn nà wū jīn lóng jiǎ dùn le 。
不用说，自然是很那乌金龙甲盾了。
Teleportation!
táo wù bì jìng shì líng jiè sì xiōng zhī yī ， suī rán yǎn qián jǐn jǐn shì yī lǚ fēn hún jiàng lín ， dàn lín xuān yě bù gǎn yǒu sī háo de qīng dí 。
梼杌毕竟是灵界四凶之一，虽然眼前仅仅是一缕分魂降临，但林轩也不敢有丝毫的轻敌。
Lin Xuan was startled; indeed, it was the Fiend of the previous term, capable of using this advanced technique despite only being at the same level as an Incarnation Stage cultivator in terms of spiritual energy quantity.
“ xiǎo xīn ， gāng gāng yǐ yǒu liǎng míng yuán yīng xiū shì ， sǐ zài le zhè jiā huo de shǒu lǐ ， ér qiě dōu bú shì tā de yī hé zhī dí 。” kǒng què xiān zi de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr lǐ ， dài zhe shēn shēn de jiè jù ， suí jí cǐ nǚ yī yǎo bèi chǐ ， shēn xíng mó hú ， jìng dǎng zài lín xuān de shēn qián le ， shēng yīn jiāo jí ér duǎn cù ：“ nǐ lái zhè lǐ zuò shén me ， yī huì er wǒ huì jìn lì tuō zhù tā de ， nǐ kuài zǒu 。”
“小心，刚刚已有两名元婴修士，死在了这家伙的手里，而且都不是它的一合之敌。”孔雀仙子的声音传入耳里，带着深深的戒惧，随即此女一咬贝齿，身形模糊，竟挡在林轩的身前了，声音焦急而短促：“你来这里做什么，一会儿我会尽力拖住它的，你快走。”
This wasn't a simplified version; though not quite reaching true teleportation, it was extremely close.
lín xuān tīng dé yī zhèn gǎn dòng ， xiōng kǒu rè xuè fān yǒng 。
林轩听得一阵感动，胸口热血翻涌。
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and flicked his right hand with magical light. Without hesitation, he pushed the Mysterious Profound Fairy away, while simultaneously vanishing using Nine Heavens Microsteps.
kǒng què de shēng yīn wēi wēi chàn dǒu ， duì táo wù de jù yì xiā zi yě néng kàn chū ， kě jí biàn shì zhè zhǒng qíng xíng ， tā yī jiù ……
孔雀的声音微微颤抖，对梼杌的惧意瞎子也能看出，可即便是这种情形，她依旧……
The opponent's target was him, so Lin Xuan didn't want to let the Mysterious Profound Fairy suffer collateral damage.
suī rán tà rù xiān dào yǐ lái ， lín xuān de xìn tiáo xiàng lái dōu shì zhēn ài shēng mìng ， yuǎn lí wēi xiǎn ， kě xiàn zài …… zěn me néng ràng yī nǚ zǐ dǎng zài zì jǐ miàn qián ？
虽然踏入仙道以来，林轩的信条向来都是珍爱生命，远离危险，可现在……怎么能让一女子挡在自己面前？
Although the teleportation technique was incredibly powerful, his secret arts were no less formidable. While Nine Heavens Microsteps might be slightly inferior compared to true teleportation, after practicing the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique, they were nearly on par.
táo wù yòu zěn me ， jiā luó gǔ mó xiǎo yé wǒ yě biǎn guò ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yī gǔ háo qì yǒng chū 。
梼杌又怎么，迦罗古魔小爷我也扁过，林轩心中一股豪气涌出。
This was the benefit of extensive knowledge; while it required more time and effort, many techniques could stack their effects.
shēn chū shǒu lái ， qīng qīng dā shàng kǒng què xiān zi de xiāng jiān ：“ fàng xīn ， wǒ yǐ bú shì xī rì de wǒ ， zěn me kě néng lín zhèn tuō táo ， ràng nǐ yí gè rén lái miàn duì zhè kě pà de xiōng shòu ？”
伸出手来，轻轻搭上孔雀仙子的香肩：“放心，我已不是昔日的我，怎么可能临阵脱逃，让你一个人来面对这可怕的凶兽？”
A faint hissing sound entered Lin Xuan's ears as space rumbled. Tiaomu appeared where he had stood just moments ago but missed with its claws.
jí biàn shēn chù zhè yàng de wēi xiǎn ， kě yǎn qián de qíng jǐng ， yī jiù ràng miào yōu xīn zhōng hài rán ， tā yǔ kǒng què rèn shí de shí jiān bù suàn duǎn ， shēn zhī zhè wèi měi lì de nǚ yāo xiū shì duō me jiāo ào de rén wù ， shì nán rén rú fèn tǔ ， kě yǎn qián ……
即便身处这样的危险，可眼前的情景，依旧让妙幽心中骇然，她与孔雀认识的时间不算短，深知这位美丽的女妖修是多么骄傲的人物，视男人如粪土，可眼前……
The opponent had escaped! Tiaomu's ugly face showed a hint of surprise; the other party actually knew such an advanced secret technique, not teleportation, yet it was almost on par.
liǎng rén guān xì míng xiǎn bù yī bān 。
两人关系明显不一般。
It released its divine sense to lock onto Lin Xuan's aura. The detestable youth appeared about thirty feet away from his left side.
zuò wéi yuán yīng zhōng qī de gāo shǒu ， zhè shào nián wèi miǎn tài nián qīng le ， tā jiū jìng huì shì hé fāng shén shèng ne ？
作为元婴中期的高手，这少年未免太年轻了，他究竟会是何方神圣呢？
Spatial techniques? Even Incarnation Stage late-stage cultivators could only master the lowest-level缩地术 (teleportation). This guy had some interest, but it was all in vain before him.
hào qí ！
好奇！
Tiaomu's face showed a wicked and cold smile as he opened his mouth to roar. However, no sound emerged.
bù guò xiàn zài zì rán méi yǒu shí jiān tàn jiū zhè xiē ， miào yōu shēn shēn xī le kǒu qì ， lián bù qīng yí ， huǎn huǎn zǒu le shàng qù ， suī rán zài zhè yàng de zhàn dòu lǐ ， zì jǐ de shén tōng bù zhí yī tí ， dàn yě kě yǐ shāo shāo cè yìng yī xiē 。
不过现在自然没有时间探究这些，妙幽深深吸了口气，莲步轻移，缓缓走了上去，虽然在这样的战斗里，自己的神通不值一提，但也可以稍稍策应一些。
Lin Xuan's expression changed; he quickly formed hand seals, holding the One元守一 (concentrating on the origin). His body glowed with magical light as divine sense converged into a loud shout that radiated outward.
táo wù yǐ bèi lín xuān de yán yǔ qì le gè bàn sǐ ， zì rán bú huì yǒu nài xīn jì xù děng dài xià qù ， hún shēn shàng xià ， měng rán fú xiàn chū yī gǔ xiōng lì zhī qì ， hóng guāng yī shǎn ， jìng rán cóng yuán dì xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
梼杌已被林轩的言语气了个半死，自然不会有耐心继续等待下去，浑身上下，猛然浮现出一股凶戾之气，红光一闪，竟然从原地消失不见。
A visible, intangible force swept out from him...
lín xuān bù yóu de dà jīng ， guǒ rán bù kuì shì shàng jiè xiōng shòu fēn hún jiàng lín ， jǐn guǎn cóng líng qì de liàng lái shuō ， tā jǐn jǐn shì yuán yīng qī ， jué duì shù liàng ， hái bù yí dìng néng gòu shèng guò zì jǐ ， dàn jū rán kě yǐ shǐ yòng lí hé qī lǎo guài wù cái néng zhǎng wò de shùn yí shén tōng 。
林轩不由得大惊，果然不愧是上届凶兽分魂降临，尽管从灵气的量来说，它仅仅是元婴期，绝对数量，还不一定能够胜过自己，但居然可以使用离合期老怪物才能掌握的瞬移神通。
The sound of breaking air filled Lin Xuan's ears. About three feet in front of him, the force exploded.
zhè kě bú shì nà zhǒng jiǎn huà bǎn de 。
这可不是那种简化版的。
This time, Tiaomu was truly alarmed; his ambush had been seen through.
suī rán lí zhēn zhèng de shùn yí hái lüè yǒu chā jù ， dàn yǐ shì shí fēn jiē jìn le dì 。
虽然离真正的瞬移还略有差距，但已是十分接近了地。
Divine sense attacks were invisible and intangible. That woman in a palace robe had easily destroyed her body after receiving one hit.
lín xuān yǎn jīng yī mī ， yòu shǒu líng guāng shǎn shuò ， háo bù chí yí de jiāng kǒng què xiān zi yuǎn yuǎn tuī kāi le ， tóng shí shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yě shī zhǎn jiǔ tiān wēi bù ， cóng yuán dì xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
林轩眼睛一眯，右手灵光闪烁，毫不迟疑的将孔雀仙子远远推开了，同时身形一闪，也施展九天微步，从原地消失得无影无踪。
How could an Incarnation Stage cultivator be so formidable?
duì fāng de yào mù biāo shì zì jǐ ， lín xuān bìng bù xiǎng ràng kǒng què bèi yāng jí chí yú 。
对方的要目标是自己，林轩并不想让孔雀被殃及池鱼。
Tiaomu didn't know that Lin Xuan's battle experience was incredibly rich, far surpassing any same-stage opponent.
duì fāng de shùn yí gù rán shén miào wú bǐ ， dàn zì jǐ de mì shù yě bú shì chī cù de ， jiǔ tiān wēi bù gù rán bù jí shùn yí ， kě xiū liàn fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué hòu yě xiāng chā wú jǐ 。
对方的瞬移固然神妙无比，但自己的秘术也不是吃醋的，九天微步固然不及瞬移，可修炼凤舞九天诀后也相差无几。
On the妖灵 Island, he had fought the Ancient Demon and experienced the Buddha Sect's Lion Roar Technique firsthand. The techniques used by this beast were similar to those of the Ancient Demon.
zhè jiù shì bó xué de hǎo chù ， suī rán huā fèi de shí jiān jīng lì gèng duō ， dàn bù shǎo shén tōng què yǒu zhe dié jiā de xiào guǒ 。
这就是博学的好处，虽然花费的时间精力更多，但不少神通却有着叠加的效果。
With his deep-seated wisdom, after tasting one bitter lesson, Lin Xuan remembered it well; there would be no more mistakes.
chī de yī shēng qīng xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， kōng jiān bō dòng ， táo wù háo wú zhēng zhào de chū xiàn zài le lín xuān gāng gāng zhàn lì zhī chù ， kě zhēng níng de lì zhuǎ tàn chū ， què piān piān luò dào le kōng chù 。
嗤的一声轻响传入耳朵，空间波动，梼杌毫无征兆的出现在了林轩刚刚站立之处，可狰狞的利爪探出，却偏偏落到了空处。
The ambush failed, Tiaomu's eyes glinted with ferocity as he vanished again. Although Nine Heavens Microsteps was intricate, it still fell short compared to true teleportation. Escaping from his hands was nothing but a dream.
duì fāng jū rán táo tuō ， táo wù chǒu lòu de miàn róng yě lù chū yī sī jīng è ， duì fāng jū rán yě huì zhè zhǒng gāo shēn de mì shù ， bú shì shùn yí ， rán ér què xiāng chā wú jǐ 。
对方居然逃脱，梼杌丑陋的面容也露出一丝惊愕，对方居然也会这种高深的秘术，不是瞬移，然而却相差无几。
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and guessed the other party's malicious thoughts. However, there was no hint of panic on his face.
tā jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， yǐ suǒ dìng le lín xuān de qì jī ， nà kě wù de shào nián ， chū xiàn zài le tā zuǒ cè shù shí zhàng yuǎn zhī dì 。
它将神识放出，已锁定了林轩的气机，那可恶的少年，出现在了它左侧数十丈远之地。
With a wave of his sleeve, he threw out a long spear with ancient designs.
kōng jiān shén tōng ma ， biàn shì yuán yīng hòu qī xiū shì ， yě jǐn néng zhǎng wò zuì dī jí de suō dì shù ér yǐ ， zhè jiā huo ， yǒu diǎn yì si ， kě xī zài zì jǐ miàn qián ， yī qiè dōu shì tú láo ér yǐ 。
空间神通吗，便是元婴后期修士，也仅能掌握最低级的缩地术而已，这家伙，有点意思，可惜在自己面前，一切都是徒劳而已。
He infused it with magical energy and swung it down fiercely.
táo wù de liǎn shàng ， lù chū xié è ér bīng lěng de xiào yì ， zhāng kāi dà kǒu ， yǎng tóu cháng xiào ， rán ér guǐ yì de shì ， què méi yǒu shēng yīn chū 。
梼杌的脸上，露出邪恶而冰冷的笑意，张开大口，仰头长啸，然而诡异的是，却没有声音出。
Puff!
kě lín xuān què shén sè yī dòng ， bù gǎn dài màn de shuāng shǒu qiā jué ， bào yuán shǒu yī ， hún shēn líng guāng kuáng shǎn bù zhǐ ， shén shí jí zhōng zài yì qǐ ， yī shēng bào hē ， wài fàng ér chū ， dùn shí yī gǔ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de wú xíng zhī wù ， xiàng wài héng sǎo ér chū le 。
可林轩却神色一动，不敢怠慢的双手掐诀，抱元守一，浑身灵光狂闪不止，神识集中在一起，一声爆喝，外放而出，顿时一股肉眼可见的无形之物，向外横扫而出了。
A dull sound echoed as dazzling green light flashed. The air twenty feet in front of Lin Xuan became blurry as the beast stumbled out.
pī lǐ pā lā de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zài lín xuān shēn qián yuē sān zhàng yuǎn de dì fāng bào liè kāi lái ……
噼里啪啦的声音传入耳朵，在林轩身前约三丈远的地方爆裂开来……
Tiaomu was truly alarmed; not only could his ambush be seen through, but even teleportation had failed.
zhè huí táo wù zhēn de shì dà chī yī jīng 。
这回梼杌真的是大吃一惊。
He was stunned—after a million years, he hadn't heard of any Incarnation Stage cultivator being this formidable. Was it because he was too isolated before?
zì jǐ de tōu xí bèi kàn pò 。
自己的偷袭被看破。
Tiaomu was confused, and such an opportunity couldn't be missed by Lin Xuan. He raised his left hand, and the Green Illusion Profound Fire spun through the air, exploding into a snake about as thick as a forearm that pounced towards the opponent.
yào zhī dào shén shí céng miàn de gōng jī ， gēn běn jiù wú yǐng wú xíng ， nà gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ yě shì āi le yī jì ， cái qīng yì bèi zì jǐ jiāng shēn tǐ huǐ qù 。
要知道神识层面的攻击，根本就无影无行，那宫装女子也是挨了一记，才轻易被自己将身体毁去。
The two began their battle, almost like lightning-fast exchanges. To their astonishment, Lin Xuan seemed to be slightly on top.
duì fāng yě bù guò yī yuán yīng xiū shì ， zěn me huì nán chán zhì cǐ ？
对方也不过一元婴修士，怎么会难缠至此？
The two women exchanged glances, their expressions filled with shock and surprise, especially the Mysterious Profound Fairy. Sixty years ago, she had tangled with Lin Xuan; how much power did this youth possess was clear.
tā nǎ lǐ zhī dào ， lín xuān néng gòu zǒu dào jīn tiān zhè yī bù ， zhàn dòu jīng yàn zhī fēng fù ， tóng jiē xiū shì biàn shì pāi mǎ yě yuǎn yuǎn wú fǎ yǔ zhī xiāng bǐ 。
它哪里知道，林轩能够走到今天这一步，战斗经验之丰富，同阶修士便是拍马也远远无法与之相比。
For cultivators, decades were merely a blink of an eye, enough to just form a foundation, but he had managed to condense his spirit essence into an Incarnation Stage and even reached the middle stage. This alone was already incredible, let alone the shocking power of his techniques.
bié de bù shuō ， zài yāo líng dǎo shàng ， lín xuān céng jīng dòu guò jiā luó gǔ mó ， ér nà jiā huo ， zài fēi shēng yǐ qián ， běn shì fú zōng de xiū xiān zhě ， lín xuān céng lǐng jiào guò tā fó mén shī zi hǒu de shén tōng ， yǔ yǎn qián xiōng shòu shǐ yòng de mì shù dǎo shì yì qǔ tóng gōng 。
别的不说，在妖灵岛上，林轩曾经斗过迦罗古魔，而那家伙，在飞升以前，本是佛宗的修仙者，林轩曾领教过他佛门狮子吼的神通，与眼前凶兽使用的秘术倒是异曲同工。
Tiaomu's abilities were witnessed by both women; regardless of the woman in palace robes or the bald man, they weren't weaklings. However, against this beast, none lasted a single round, but Lin Xuan repeatedly deflected their attacks and even turned defense into offense...
yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， chī guò yī huí kǔ tóu ， dì èr cì dāng rán shì láo láo jì zhù ， bù kě néng zài chū xiàn rèn hé chā chí de 。
以林轩的城府，吃过一回苦头，第二次当然是牢牢记住，不可能再出现任何差池的。
The two exchanged glances, feeling a mix of joy and surprise. They decided to hold back and not interfere for now.
tōu xí méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， táo wù yǎn zhōng xiōng guāng shǎn guò ， shēn xíng yī huǎng ， zài cì cóng yuán dì xiāo shī de wú yǐng wú zōng ， lín xuān de jiǔ tiān wēi bù suī rán xuán miào ， dàn bǐ qǐ shùn yí ， bì jìng hái shì yào lüè xùn yī chóu ， xiǎng cóng zì jǐ shǒu lǐ táo tuō ， bù guò shì chī rén shuō mèng 。
偷袭没有效果，梼杌眼中凶光闪过，身形一晃，再次从原地消失的无影无踪，林轩的九天微步虽然玄妙，但比起瞬移，毕竟还是要略逊一筹，想从自己手里逃脱，不过是痴人说梦。
Especially the Mysterious Profound Fairy; whether human or demon, regardless of her gentle or cold nature, there was always some romantic side. She had thought she would surely perish today but Lin Xuan appeared, using incredible techniques to battle Tiaomu. Was this fate's arrangement?
lín xuān méi tóu wēi tiāo ， yǐ yǐn yǐn cāi dào le duì fāng xīn zhōng de è dú niàn tou ， rán ér tā liǎn shàng què méi yǒu bàn diǎn huāng luàn zhī sè 。
林轩眉头微挑，已隐隐猜到了对方心中的恶毒念头，然而他脸上却没有半点慌乱之色。
The danger wasn't over yet, but the Mysterious Profound Fairy's gaze seemed a bit hazy.
xiù páo yī fú ， yī bǐng zào xíng gǔ piáo de zhǎng gē fēi lüè ér chū 。
袖袍一拂，一柄造型古朴的长戈飞掠而出。
Teleportation failed, and in an instant, the Green Illusion Profound Fire approached. Tiaomu was furious; however, he didn't take the snake seriously, opening his mouth to emit black fog.
lín xuān shēn shǒu wò zhù ， fǎ lì zhù rù qí zhōng ， suí hòu hěn hěn de jiāng cǐ bǎo xiàng xià huī luò 。
林轩伸手握住，法力注入其中，随后狠狠的将此宝向下挥落。
The fog swirled as a huge eagle with wingspan of over ten feet appeared before them. Its claws were hooked, and it was wrapped in eerie dark lightning, lunging at the fire snake.
pū ……
噗……
An eagle fighting a snake made sense, but both were illusions created by secret techniques; their strength depended on the power of their own techniques.
yī shēng mèn xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yào mù de qīng guāng shǎn guò ， lín xuān shēn qián èr shí yú zhàng de kōng qì yī zhèn mó hú ， xiōng shòu diē diē zhuàng zhuàng de chū lái le 。
一声闷响传入耳朵，耀目的青光闪过，林轩身前二十余丈的空气一阵模糊，凶兽跌跌撞撞的出来了。
Though Tiaomu was fierce, that black fog was just something it spat out. The Green Illusion Profound Fire was different—it was the clan's top-secret technique from ancient times, passed down through generations.
táo wù zhè huí zhēn de shì dà jīng shī sè ， duì fāng jū rán lián shùn yí yě néng pò chú 。
梼杌这回真的是大惊失色，对方居然连瞬移也能破除。
Lin Xuan had practiced this since condensing his essence and never stopped taking detox pills to refine such a strange fire.
yūn le ， zì jǐ huó le shàng bǎi wàn nián de suì yuè ， hái zhēn méi yǒu tīng dào nǎ wèi yuán yīng xiū shì néng niú dào zhè zhǒng chéng dù ， mò fēi shì yǐ qián tài gū lòu guǎ wén le ？
晕了，自己活了上百万年的岁月，还真没有听到哪位元婴修士能牛到这种程度，莫非是以前太孤陋寡闻了？
Day after day, year after year.
táo wù yǒu diǎn měng ， ér zhè yàng de hǎo jī huì ， lín xuān zì rán bú huì cuò guò ， zuǒ shǒu yáng qǐ ， bì huàn yōu huǒ xuán zhuǎn zhe fēi lüè chū qù ， bàn kōng zhōng bào liè kāi lái ， huà wèi yī tiáo ér bì cū de mǎng shé ， sōu de pū xiàng duì shǒu 。
梼杌有点懵，而这样的好机会，林轩自然不会错过，左手扬起，碧幻幽火旋转着飞掠出去，半空中爆裂开来，化为一条儿臂粗的蟒蛇，嗖的扑向对手。
Though far from reaching its peak, it was formidable enough not to be underestimated.
liǎng zhě zhè yī jiāo shàng shǒu ， jī hū kě yòng diàn guāng huǒ shí lái xíng róng ， yóu qí lìng rén jīng è de shì ， lín xuān sì hū hái shāo wēi zhàn le yì diǎn diǎn shàng fēng 。
两者这一交上手，几乎可用电光火石来形容，尤其令人惊愕的是，林轩似乎还稍微占了一点点上风。
It was clear who was stronger. As the eagle's claws approached, the fire snake paid no heed but instead extended its tongue to counterattack.
liǎng nǚ miàn miàn xiāng qù ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng cuò è yǐ jí ， yóu qí shì kǒng què xiān zi ， liù shí yú nián qián ， tā yǔ lín xuān ēn yuàn jiū gé ， zhè shào nián yǒu duō dà de běn shì ， kě shì yì qīng èr chǔ 。
两女面面相觑，脸上的表情错愕以及，尤其是孔雀仙子，六十余年前，她与林轩恩怨纠葛，这少年有多大的本事，可是一清二楚。
They finally collided.

对于修仙者来说，数十年的光阴，不过是弹指即过，最多也就够刚刚筑基的，可他却诡异的将元婴凝成了，而且还进阶到了中期，原本这已够让人觉得不可思议，偏偏他的神通还如此惊天动地。
The eagle let out a mournful cry as its claws failed to penetrate the fire snake. Instead, a green flame line ignited along them, instantly engulfing the eagle...
The two women stared in shock, Lin Xuan was indeed too bold. The Peacock and the Mysterious Profound Fairy exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with alarm.
Though Lin Xuan appeared nonchalant on the surface, he was actually quite vigilant inside. He did this not for mere show; as per ancient texts, Tiaomu, one of the Four Fiends in the Spirit Realm, was known for its fierce temper. By angering it first, a fight might be slightly easier.
Seeing the opponent make a move to pounce, Lin Xuan raised his right hand. A fireball the size of a head appeared, shimmering with green light and extremely peculiar.
"Green Illusion Profound Fire!"
The Mysterious Profound Fairy gasped in surprise. She recognized this top-secret technique from her own clan's legends. Her expression was a mix of shock and confusion—could it be that he is also a witch? Why had she never seen such a technique before?
Tiaomu's eyes flashed with ferocity, seemingly not taking the strange magical flames seriously. Lin Xuan frowned and reached into his waistband, pulling out a shield about the size of a palm.
The surface glinted with dark light, its ancient patterns resembling dragon scales.
Of course, it was the Black Dragon Armor Shield.
Tiaomu was one of the Four Fiends in the Spirit Realm. Although this was just a fragmentary soul, it had the patience to wait. However, after being provoked by Lin Xuan's words, it no longer had the patience and suddenly emitted a vicious aura. Red light flashed as it vanished from sight.
Teleportation!
Lin Xuan was startled; indeed, it was the Fiend of the previous term, capable of using this advanced technique despite only being at the same level as an Incarnation Stage cultivator in terms of spiritual energy quantity.
This wasn't a simplified version; though not quite reaching true teleportation, it was extremely close.
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and flicked his right hand with magical light. Without hesitation, he pushed the Mysterious Profound Fairy away, while simultaneously vanishing using Nine Heavens Microsteps.
The opponent's target was him, so Lin Xuan didn't want to let the Mysterious Profound Fairy suffer collateral damage.
Although the teleportation technique was incredibly powerful, his secret arts were no less formidable. While Nine Heavens Microsteps might be slightly inferior compared to true teleportation, after practicing the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique, they were nearly on par.
This was the benefit of extensive knowledge; while it required more time and effort, many techniques could stack their effects.
A faint hissing sound entered Lin Xuan's ears as space rumbled. Tiaomu appeared where he had stood just moments ago but missed with its claws.
The opponent had escaped! Tiaomu's ugly face showed a hint of surprise; the other party actually knew such an advanced secret technique, not teleportation, yet it was almost on par.
It released its divine sense to lock onto Lin Xuan's aura. The detestable youth appeared about thirty feet away from his left side.
Spatial techniques? Even Incarnation Stage late-stage cultivators could only master the lowest-level缩地术 (teleportation). This guy had some interest, but it was all in vain before him.
Tiaomu's face showed a wicked and cold smile as he opened his mouth to roar. However, no sound emerged.
Lin Xuan's expression changed; he quickly formed hand seals, holding the One元守一 (concentrating on the origin). His body glowed with magical light as divine sense converged into a loud shout that radiated outward.
A visible, intangible force swept out from him...
Pliiiip!
The sound of breaking air filled Lin Xuan's ears. About three feet in front of him, the force exploded.
This time, Tiaomu was truly alarmed; his ambush had been seen through.
Divine sense attacks were invisible and intangible. That woman in a palace robe had easily destroyed her body after receiving one hit.
How could an Incarnation Stage cultivator be so formidable?
Tiaomu didn't know that Lin Xuan's battle experience was incredibly rich, far surpassing any same-stage opponent.
On the妖灵 Island, he had fought the Ancient Demon and experienced the Buddha Sect's Lion Roar Technique firsthand. The techniques used by this beast were similar to those of the Ancient Demon.
With his deep-seated wisdom, after tasting one bitter lesson, Lin Xuan remembered it well; there would be no more mistakes.
The ambush failed, Tiaomu's eyes glinted with ferocity as he vanished again. Although Nine Heavens Microsteps was intricate, it still fell short compared to true teleportation. Escaping from his hands was nothing but a dream.
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and guessed the other party's malicious thoughts. However, there was no hint of panic on his face.
With a wave of his sleeve, he threw out a long spear with ancient designs.
He infused it with magical energy and swung it down fiercely.
Puff!
A dull sound echoed as dazzling green light flashed. The air twenty feet in front of Lin Xuan became blurry as the beast stumbled out.
Tiaomu was truly alarmed; not only could his ambush be seen through, but even teleportation had failed.
He was stunned—after a million years, he hadn't heard of any Incarnation Stage cultivator being this formidable. Was it because he was too isolated before?
Tiaomu was confused, and such an opportunity couldn't be missed by Lin Xuan. He raised his left hand, and the Green Illusion Profound Fire spun through the air, exploding into a snake about as thick as a forearm that pounced towards the opponent.
The two began their battle, almost like lightning-fast exchanges. To their astonishment, Lin Xuan seemed to be slightly on top.
The two women exchanged glances, their expressions filled with shock and surprise, especially the Mysterious Profound Fairy. Sixty years ago, she had tangled with Lin Xuan; how much power did this youth possess was clear.
For cultivators, decades were merely a blink of an eye, enough to just form a foundation, but he had managed to condense his spirit essence into an Incarnation Stage and even reached the middle stage. This alone was already incredible, let alone the shocking power of his techniques.
Tiaomu's abilities were witnessed by both women; regardless of the woman in palace robes or the bald man, they weren't weaklings. However, against this beast, none lasted a single round, but Lin Xuan repeatedly deflected their attacks and even turned defense into offense...
The two exchanged glances, feeling a mix of joy and surprise. They decided to hold back and not interfere for now.
Especially the Mysterious Profound Fairy; whether human or demon, regardless of her gentle or cold nature, there was always some romantic side. She had thought she would surely perish today but Lin Xuan appeared, using incredible techniques to battle Tiaomu. Was this fate's arrangement?
The danger wasn't over yet, but the Mysterious Profound Fairy's gaze seemed a bit hazy.
Teleportation failed, and in an instant, the Green Illusion Profound Fire approached. Tiaomu was furious; however, he didn't take the snake seriously, opening his mouth to emit black fog.
The fog swirled as a huge eagle with wingspan of over ten feet appeared before them. Its claws were hooked, and it was wrapped in eerie dark lightning, lunging at the fire snake.
An eagle fighting a snake made sense, but both were illusions created by secret techniques; their strength depended on the power of their own techniques.
Though Tiaomu was fierce, that black fog was just something it spat out. The Green Illusion Profound Fire was different—it was the clan's top-secret technique from ancient times, passed down through generations.
Lin Xuan had practiced this since condensing his essence and never stopped taking detox pills to refine such a strange fire.
Day after day, year after year.
Though far from reaching its peak, it was formidable enough not to be underestimated.
It was clear who was stronger. As the eagle's claws approached, the fire snake paid no heed but instead extended its tongue to counterattack.
They finally collided.
The eagle let out a mournful cry as its claws failed to penetrate the fire snake. Instead, a green flame line ignited along them, instantly engulfing the eagle...
