后蛇尾一甩。火蟒巳整个缠绕卜来。重新化为火琼。哦缆包裹其中，碧幻幽火猛有奇毒，且本身的灵力也远在一般婴火之上的。
The snake’s tail whipped back, and the fire python completely wrapped itself around the giant eagle. It reformed into a ball of fiery essence, which enveloped it. The碧幻幽火 was incredibly toxic, and its inherent spiritual energy far surpassed ordinary infant fires.
jǐn jǐn shùn xī gōng fu 。 jiù jiāng jù yīng rán wèi huī jìn ， suí hòu mǎng shé zài huǒ yàn zhōng chéng xíng ， chóng xīn xiàng dǎo jī pū qù 。
仅仅瞬息功夫。就将巨鹰燃为灰烬，随后蟒蛇在火焰中成型，重新像祷机扑去。
In just an instant, the giant eagle was reduced to ashes. The snake then took shape in the flames and lunged at the target once more.
lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng wú jīng wú xǐ ， suī rán lì yòng duì fāng qīng dí ， miǎn qiǎng zhàn le yì diǎn xiǎo pián yí ， dàn tā zì rán míng bái 。 shēn wèi sì xiōng zhī yī ， yǎn qián de guài wù kě bú shì qīng yì néng gòu duì fù dì 。
林轩脸上的表情无惊无喜，虽然利用对方轻敌，勉强占了一点小便宜，但他自然明白。身为四凶之一，眼前的怪物可不是轻易能够对付地。
Lin Xuan’s expression remained calm; although he had taken advantage of his opponent's overconfidence to gain a slight edge, he knew that as one of the Four Evils, this monster wasn’t easily dealt with.
xiù páo yī fú ， yī lǚ qīng máng cóng xiù kǒu zhōng yú yóu ér chū 。
袖袍一拂，一缕青芒从袖口中鱼游而出。
With a wave of his sleeve, a streak of green light emerged from it.
suī rán jǐn yǒu chǐ xǔ zhǎng de yì diǎn ， rán ér què yǒu jīng rén de líng lì yùn hán zài lǐ miàn ， lín xuān shēn zhǐ yì diǎn ， qīng huǒ jiàn lì kè kuáng shǎn zhe pī dào le duì fāng de miàn qián 。
虽然仅有尺许长的一点，然而却有惊人的灵力蕴含在里面，林轩伸指一点，青火剑立刻狂闪着劈到了对方的面前。
Though only an inch long, it contained astonishing spiritual energy. Lin Xuan flicked his finger, and the Green Fire Sword instantly slashed towards the target.
yǔ bì huàn yōu huǒ yì qǐ ， chéng zuǒ yòu jiā gōng zhī shì 。
与碧幻幽火一起，成左右夹攻之势。
Together with the碧幻幽火, they formed a two-pronged attack.
kǒng què hé miào yōu xiān zi dà xǐ ， zhè zhèng shì lián shǒu miè dí de hǎo shí jī ， liǎng nǚ xiū wèi suī bù jí lín xuān ， dàn tóng yàng shì yuán yīng jí bié de cún zài ， jí shǐ shì nǚ ér shēn ， shā fá jué duàn què bù ruò yú nán rén 。
孔雀和妙幽仙子大喜，这正是联手灭敌的好时机，两女修为虽不及林轩，但同样是元婴级别的存在，即使是女儿身，杀伐决断却不弱于男人。
Pheasant and the Mysterious Pure Fairy were delighted; this was the perfect moment to join forces and eliminate the enemy. Although their cultivation levels fell short of Lin Xuan’s, as Yuan婴 cultivators, they could make swift and decisive decisions, even in their feminine forms.
kǒng què yù shǒu yī fú ， yí gè xiǎo qiǎo de shǒu huán fēi lüè ér chū ， zào xíng jīng zhì gǔ piáo ， yǔ yì bān de shǒu huán dà bù xiāng tóng ， yǐn yǐn yǒu yī xiē yāo zú de fú wén lòu kè zài qí zhōng ， yě bù zhī dào jiū jìng yǒu shén me shén tōng 。
孔雀玉手一拂，一个小巧的手环飞掠而出，造型精致古朴，与一般的手环大不相同，隐隐有一些妖族的符文镂刻在其中，也不知道究竟有什么神通。
The Pheasant flicked her jade hand, sending a small, ornate ring flying towards the target. The ring transformed into a protective shield that enveloped her delicate features, leaving only her bright eyes visible.
cǐ huán tuō shǒu yǐ hòu 。 méi yǒu cóng zhèng miàn jī shè xiàng dǎo háng ， fǎn ér shì zhí jiē fēi dào le shàng kōng ， piàn xuán zhī hòu ， què cóng tóu dǐng jī shè xià jǐ dào guāng zhù ， yán sè gè bù xiāng tóng ， jūn yún fēn bù ， qià hǎo jiāng chūn jī wéi zài qí zhōng 。
此环脱手以后。没有从正面激射像祷杭，反而是直接飞到了上空，片玄之后，却从头顶激射下几道光柱，颜色各不相同，均匀分布，恰好将椿机围在其中。
Mysterious Pure Fairy was the weakest of the three, but as a Mo Yan witch, she excelled in using poisons. Her face changed slightly as she pulled out an elixir from her chest and swallowed it.
zhè dōng xī ，
这东西，
Lin Xuan paid no attention; he had already taken the Extreme Poison Pill before, and with all the spiritual pills he consumed regularly, ordinary toxins were nothing to worry about.
lín xuān yǎn jīng yī mī 。 yǔ qí shuō shì fǎ bǎo ， dào gèng yǒu diǎn xiàng shì mǒu zhǒng bù zhèn qì jù 。
林轩眼睛一眯。与其说是法宝，到更有点像是某种布阵器具。
However, poison was merely a side effect. The true goal of the attack was to destroy their precious treasures.
dàn méi yǒu zhèn qí ， jǐn kào yī jiàn fǎ qì jiù néng bù xià jìn zhì de qíng kuàng zì jǐ hái zhēn wèi jiàn guò ， xiū xiān bǎi yì guǒ rán hào hàn rú hǎi ， xū yào tàn xún de hái hěn duō 。
但没有阵旗，仅靠一件法器就能布下禁制的情况自己还真未见过，修仙百艺果然浩瀚如海，需要探寻的还很多。
Lin Xuan’s reaction was swift; both the碧幻幽火 and the Green Fire Sword were devoured by the blood-red light. The other two women fared no better.
lín xuān méi yǒu shí jiān gǎn kǎi shén me ， miào yōu xiān zi de fǎ bǎo yě fēi dào le ， shì yī bǐng xiān jiàn ， hán guāng shǎn shǎn ， kàn shàng qù suī fēi shén bīng lì qì ， dàn yuán yīng xiū shì de běn mìng fǎ bǎo ， wēi lì yīng gāi yě ruò bú dào nǎ lǐ 。
林轩没有时间感慨什么，妙幽仙子的法宝也飞到了，是一柄仙剑，寒光闪闪，看上去虽非神兵利器，但元婴修士的本命法宝，威力应该也弱不到哪里。
Mysterious Pure Fairy clutched her chest, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood as the connection with her Mo Yan sword's spirit essence was severed. Her precious treasure had been destroyed.
chūn jī yǐ jīng xiàn rù le sì miàn jiā jī ， xiōng shòu bù yóu de jīng nù jiāo jí ， dàn yī jiù wú suǒ wèi 。
椿机已经陷入了四面夹击，凶兽不由得惊怒交集，但依旧无所畏。
The Pheasant’s condition was slightly better; however, the ring fell from her head, cracked and discolored. Despite this, she showed no joy on her face. In the demon’s blood light, the碧幻幽火 and Green Fire Sword combined in a strange way, with green light emanating from the sword, effectively blocking the secret technique's attack.
yī shēng dà hǒu ， cóng pāo de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn ， fú xiàn chū le yí gè xuè hóng sè de guāng qiú ， jiāng xī zhěng gè bāo guǒ ， lín xuān lěng hēng yī shēng zhī hòu ， háo bù chí yí ， zhǐ huī huǒ mǎng yǔ xiān jiàn hěn hěn de hōng le xià qù 。
一声大吼，从抛的身体表面，浮现出了一个血红色的光球，将牺整个包裹，林轩冷哼一声之后，毫不迟疑，指挥火蟒与仙剑狠狠的轰了下去。
The light dimmed slightly but not enough to matter.
liǎng nǚ yě shì tóng yàng de xīn sī ， miào yōu xiān zi zàn qiě bù tí ， biàn shēn hòu de kǒng què xiū wèi suī rán bù jí dà xiū shì ， dàn què shí zài zhōng qī dǐng jiē de chéng dù shàng ， yòu zēng jiā shǎo xǔ ， zhěng gè shēn tǐ yāo lì páng bó ， gěi rén de gǎn jué jiù fǎng fú yào yì chū 。
两女也是同样的心思，妙幽仙子暂且不提，变身后的孔雀修为虽然不及大修士，但确实在中期顶阶的程度上，又增加少许，整个身体妖力磅礴，给人的感觉就仿佛要溢出。
Lin Xuan’s spiritual perception detected this, and the Green Fire Sword flew back to him, circling his body once more.
cǐ shí shuāng shǒu huī wǔ 。 dài qǐ yī lián chuàn de huàn yǐng ， bǐ kǒng què kāi píng hái yào měi lì ， cóng tiān kōng zhōng shè xià de wǔ dào guāng zhù 。 dùn shí zhòu rán kuò dà le ， zhí jìng bào zhǎng dào zhàng xǔ ， hōng lōng lóng de xiàng zhe zhōng jiān de dǎo jī jǐ yā ér qù 。
此时双手挥舞。带起一连串的幻影，比孔雀开屏还要美丽，从天空中射下的五道光柱。顿时骤然扩大了，直径暴涨到丈许，轰隆隆的向着中间的祷机挤压而去。
The demon was taken aback. Was this truly a mid-stage cultivator? Even late-stage cultivators found it difficult to have such powerful treasures and endless abilities. This made things quite challenging.
lín xuān yǔ liǎng nǚ suī shì dì yī cì lián shǒu duì dí ， dàn xiū wèi dào le tā men zhè zhǒng děng jí ， shí jī zì rán shì ná niē dé jí hǎo dì 。
林轩与两女虽是第一次联手对敌，但修为到了他们这种等级，时机自然是拿捏得极好地。
He had initially thought that capturing them would be easy, but now it seemed he might need some effort after all.
suǒ yǒu de gōng jī rú yǒu mò qì ， jī hū shì tóng shí yǔ nà xuè hóng sè de guāng qiú zhuàng zài yì qǐ 。
所有的攻击如有默契，几乎是同时与那血红色的光球撞在一起。
Those two women were no threat; though the Pheasant’s strength increased slightly in her transformed form, only this strange young man was a formidable opponent. His abilities were too unpredictable.
líng lì jì dòng ， yǐ tā men dòu fǎ de dì diǎn wèi zhōng xīn 。 fāng yuán shù lǐ ， zhěng gè dì biǎo ， kè zhěng gè chén le xià qù ， rán ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì kāi shǐ 。
灵力悸动，以他们斗法的地点为中心。方圆数里，整个地表，克整个沉了下去，然而这仅仅是开始。
But it didn’t matter. The stronger his opponent's powers, the more true元婴 essence they contained, which would be beneficial to him.
rú cǐ kuáng bào de gōng jī 。 jū rán wèi néng jiāng nà guāng qiú jī pò ， rán ér shēn chù qí zhōng de dǎo fǔ yě bù hǎo guò ， zì jǐ hái shì tài xiǎo kàn sān rén le 。
如此狂暴的攻击。居然未能将那光球击破，然而身处其中的祷抚也不好过，自己还是太小看三人了。
The demon, despite its short temper, had a conscious soul fragment. It snorted loudly: "You are indeed no ordinary cultivator; you might even advance to the Separation Stage in the future. But meeting me is your bad luck. Although it will take some effort, you cannot escape your fate of destruction."
tè bié shì nà shēn chuān qīng páo de xiǎo zi ， bù guǎn shì guǐ yì de huǒ shé ， hái shì suí hòu jì chū de duǎn jiàn ， wēi lì dōu dà dé lí pǔ ， suī rán zì jǐ jìng jiè jí gāo ， dàn bì jìng cái gāng gāng tuō kùn ér yǐ ， néng cān cāo kòng de líng lì děng jí 。 yě jiù yuán yīng zhōng qī ， ruò bú shì dǒng de yī xiē tiān de fǎ zé ， shuō bù dìng jiù yǐ jīng bèi dǎ chéng zhòng shāng le 。
特别是那身穿青袍的小子，不管是诡异的火蛇，还是随后祭出的短剑，威力都大得离谱，虽然自己境界极高，但毕竟才刚刚脱困而已，能参操控的灵力等级。也就元婴中期，若不是懂得一些天的法则，说不定就已经被打成重伤了。
Before he could finish speaking, a layer of pain appeared on his face as demonic and vicious energy enveloped him once more.
dǎo jī de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī fèn nù ， dī chén de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ hǎo hǎo ， jìng jiǔ bù chī chī fá jiǔ ， jì rán nǐ men bù kěn guāi guāi jiāng yuán yīng jiāo chū ， běn zūn yě jiù bú kè qì le ， jiù ràng nǐ men zhè xiē xià jiè de xiǎo bèi 。 jiàn shí jiàn shí wǒ líng jiè de shén tōng
祷机的眼中闪过一丝愤怒，低沉的声音传入耳朵：“好好，敬酒不吃吃罚酒，既然你们不肯乖乖将元婴交出，本尊也就不客气了，就让你们这些下界的小辈。见识见识我灵界的神通
Lin Xuan’s expression darkened; with a hand gesture, the Nine Heavens Moon Ring trembled violently, emitting countless ring shadows that disappeared into an empty space.
huà yīn wèi luò ， nà guāng qiú měng rán bào liè le kāi lái 。
话音未落，那光球猛然爆裂了开来。
"Hey?"
“ bù hǎo ”。
“不好”。
A flash of red light revealed a figure in mid-air. The person waved their hands, and numerous crescent moons appeared, clashing with the ring shadows.
lín xuān liǎn sè dà biàn ， xiǎng yě bù xiǎng de yī qiā jué ， jiāng bì huàn yōu huǒ yǔ xiān jiàn zhào huí ， tā fǎn yìng yǐ shì shí fēn xùn ， kě yī jiù wǎn le yī bù 。
林轩脸色大变，想也不想的一掐诀，将碧幻幽火与仙剑召回，他反应已是十分迅，可依旧晚了一步。
They effortlessly blocked the attack from the Nine Heavens Moon Ring. This individual was truly formidable; Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes to observe him better.
xuè hóng sè de guāng máng rú cháo shuǐ yì bān yǐ jiāng sān rén de bǎo wù tūn mò ， yī gǔ cì bí de xuè xīng zhī qì mí sàn ér chū ， zhōng rén yù ǒu 。
血红色的光芒如潮水一般已将三人的宝物吞没，一股刺鼻的血腥之气弥散而出，中人欲呕。
Standing nearly two meters tall, he had a slender yet well-proportioned figure. His thick red hair reached his waist and partially obscured his face. From afar, he looked like an elegant man.
“ zhè qì xī yǒu dú ！”
“这弃西有毒！”
However, Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted: "The demon?"
kǒng què liǎn sè dà biàn 。 hún shēn yāo lì péi bó ， nà yāo qì zhàn jiǎ jìng rán yòu guǐ yì de biàn huà chū yí gè hù zhào lái le ， jiāng tā jiāo měi de miàn róng bāo guǒ ， jǐn shèng xià yī duì liàng jīng jīng de móu zi hái lù zài wài miàn le 。
孔雀脸色大变。浑身妖力赔礴，那妖气战甲竟然又诡异的变化出一个护罩来了，将她娇美的面容包裹，仅剩下一对亮晶晶的眸子还露在外面了。
"Hmph."
miào yōu xiān zi shí lì zuì ruò 。 dàn mò yuè zú de wū shī běn jiù shàn cháng yòng dú ， qiào liǎn wēi wēi yī biàn zhī hòu ， cóng huái zhōng tāo chū yù píng ， jiāng jǐ lì dān yào dào rù kǒu zhōng 。
妙幽仙子实力最弱。但墨月族的巫师本就擅长用毒，俏脸微微一变之后，从怀中掏出玉瓶，将几粒丹药倒入口中。
The person spoke, their voice extremely unpleasant. With a wave of their hand, the face was revealed. While Lin Xuan remained relatively calm, the two women gasped in horror; it wasn’t that this face was more ugly, but it looked exactly like when it was on the monster’s body.
zhì yú lín xuān ， zé shì ruò wú dǔ ， jué dú dān tā dōu fú guò ， jiā shàng píng shí chī de líng dān miào yào tài duō ， zhè xiē jiān ， chú le jǐ zhǒng chuán shuō zhōng de guǐ yì dú wù ， pǔ tōng de ， jī hū dōu kě yǐ bù yòng zài hū shén me 。
至于林轩，则视若无睹，绝毒丹他都服过，加上平时吃的灵丹妙药太多，这些间，除了几种传说中的诡异毒物，普通的，几乎都可以不用在乎什么。
But everyone thought: originally, the demon’s body was already ugly, so adding a human face didn’t seem out of place. Now, with his human form and monstrous face, he looked terrifying from head to toe.
rán ér dú bù guò shì fù dài zhī wù ， dǎo háng de zhēn zhèng mù dì ， shì yào jiāng tā men de bǎo wù huǐ 。
然而毒不过是附带之物，祷杭的真正目的，是要将他们的宝物毁。
"You… you turned into a human?"
lín xuān fǎn yìng nà me xùn 。 bì huàn yōu huǒ yǔ xiān jiàn dōu bèi xuè hóng sè de guāng máng tūn mò ， qí tā liǎng nǚ zì rán gèng bù bì shuō 。
林轩反应那么迅。碧幻幽火与仙剑都被血红色的光芒吞没，其他两女自然更不必说。
Mysterious Pure Fairy trembled slightly before realizing she had asked an obvious question; at the transformation stage, demons could shed their beastly forms and take on human shapes. The exact level of this demon was unclear, but transforming into a human was easy.
miào yōu yòng shǒu fǔ zhù xiōng kǒu 。 xiǎn xiē yī kǒu xiān xuè pēn chū ， yǔ mò huáng jiàn de shén shí lián xì bèi qiā duàn ， bú yòng shuō ， běn mìng bǎo wù yǐ huǐ le 。
妙幽用手抚住胸口。险些一口鲜血喷出，与墨璜剑的神识联系被掐断，不用说，本命宝物已毁了。
The two women looked forward again, seeing the monster’s form in the blood mist. It seemed the demon used an external manifestation technique to draw their attention before attacking from the shadows.
kǒng què xiān zi de qíng xíng yào shāo hǎo yì diǎn ， bù guò nà yuán huán yě cóng tóu dǐng de sì è tǔ là xià lái ， liè wén biàn bù ， diǎn líng mǐ yě chì 。 rán ér chūn fǔ de liǎn shàng què méi yǒu lù chū xǐ sè ， yīn wèi zài pāo de jì miè xuè guāng zhī zhōng ， bì huàn yōu huǒ yǔ qīng huǒ jiàn táo bì bù jí ， jū rán guǐ yì de hé èr wéi yī ， xiān jiàn shàng lǜ máng rán qǐ ， jìng rán bù kě sī yì de dǎng xià le xī mì shù de gōng jī 。
孔雀仙子的情形要稍好一点，不过那圆环也从头顶的四愕吐落下来，裂纹遍布，点灵米也赤。然而椿抚的脸上却没有露出喜色，因为在抛的寂灭血光之中，碧幻幽火与青火剑逃避不及，居然诡异的合二为一，仙剑上绿芒燃起，竟然不可思议的挡下了牺秘术的攻击。
The demon’s concealment techniques were incredibly complex; Lin Xuan had somehow seen through them. If he had just attacked them…
jǐn jǐn shì guāng máng lüè wēi àn dàn le yì diǎn ér yǐ 。
仅仅是光芒略微黯淡了一点而已。
Both women shuddered with fear and asked themselves if they could handle it without Lin Xuan's strength. They quickly summoned their defensive treasures, hoping to gain some comfort even if they didn’t work.
lín xuān shén niàn wēi dòng 。 qīng huǒ jiàn yǐ dào fēi le huí lái ， chóng xīn pán xuán zài tā de shēn qián 。
林轩神念微动。青火剑已倒飞了回来，重新盘旋在他的身前。
The ambush failed, and the demon’s expression was naturally unpleasant. It raised its head and looked at the two rings circling above Lin Xuan: "This is a dual-natured treasure; only found in the Spirit Realm. Could you be from a lineage of cultivators who crossed over here or inherited something from your family?"
chūn jī yǒu diǎn shǎ yǎn 。
椿机有点傻眼。
"Crossed over?"
zhè zhēn de shì yī míng zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ma ， biàn shì hòu qī dà xiū shì yě hěn nán yǒu rú cǐ bǎo wù ， shén tōng yě céng chū bù qióng 。 zhè dào zhēn de fēi cháng jí shǒu 。
这真的是一名中期的修仙者吗，便是后期大修士也很难有如此宝物，神通也层出不穷。这倒真的非常棘手。
Lin Xuan’s expression showed surprise. The spiritual energy and resources in the Spirit Realm were much denser than in the mortal world, making it easier for cultivators to achieve ascension. Why would upper realm cultivators cross over? Was there a secret behind this?
yuán běn yǐ wéi shǒu dào qín lái de jiā huo ， kàn lái zhēn de hái dé fèi xiē lì qì le 。
原本以为手到擒来的家伙，看来真的还得费些力气了。
The demon sneered: "If you are from a lineage that crossed over here or inherited something from your family, then we have some interesting things to discuss."
The snake’s tail whipped back, and the fire python completely wrapped itself around the giant eagle. It reformed into a ball of fiery essence, which enveloped it. The碧幻幽火 was incredibly toxic, and its inherent spiritual energy far surpassed ordinary infant fires.
In just an instant, the giant eagle was reduced to ashes. The snake then took shape in the flames and lunged at the target once more.
Lin Xuan’s expression remained calm; although he had taken advantage of his opponent's overconfidence to gain a slight edge, he knew that as one of the Four Evils, this monster wasn’t easily dealt with.
