qiě bù shuō shān mài diǎn zhōng shā jī chóng chóng ， lín xuān tóng xiàng mó de zhēng dòu 。 fán dào yā shé míng “ chéng dù 。
且不说山脉点中杀机重重，林轩同向魔的争斗。凡到丫舌明“程度。
Not to mention the mountains teeming with deadly traps, Lin Xuan was engaged in a fierce battle against the demon. Ya Shi Ming had reached a critical stage.
yóu qí shì shī mó ， cǐ kè gèng shì xiōng xiǎn dào le jí chù 。
尤其是尸魔，此刻更是凶险到了极处。
Especially so for the Corpse Demon, who was now at his most perilous point.
dàn zuò wèi kuì lěi guài wù ， tā gēn běn jiù bù zhī dào wèi jù wèi hé wù ， zhǐ shì zhōng shí de zhí xíng lín xuān de mìng lìng ， jiāng duì shǒu láo láo chán zhù 。
但做为愧儡怪物，他根本就不知道畏惧为何物，只是忠实的执行林轩的命令，将对手牢牢缠住。
But as an automaton monster, he knew no fear and only faithfully executed Lin Xuan's commands, tightly binding his opponent.
xuè mó yòu jīng yòu nù ， tā kě méi yǒu xīn qíng yǔ yī jù liàn shī jiū chán xià qù ， páng biān hái yǒu hǔ shì xiǎo xiǎo de qiáng dí 。
血魔又惊又怒，他可没有心情与一具炼尸纠缠下去，旁边还有虎视晓晓的强敌。
The Blood Demon was both shocked and furious. He didn't have the patience to纠缠 with a炼尸, especially when there were other formidable enemies eyeing him from the side.
liǎn sè lì sè yī shǎn ér guò ， zhāng kāi kǒu ， xuán bǎo mó qì pēn tǔ ér chū ， huàn huà chū yī bǐng hēi sè mó rèn ， hěn hěn de zhǎn xiàng shī mó de tóu lú 。
脸色厉色一闪而过，张开口，玄宝魔气喷吐而出，幻化出一柄黑色魔刃，狠狠的斩向尸魔的头颅。
A fierce expression flashed across his face as he opened his mouth, expelling a stream of dark magic aura that transformed into a black demon blade, which he hurled at the Corpse Demon's head.
shī mó yě bù shì ruò ， zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， yī jiàn gǔ guài de fǎ bǎo cóng zuǐ bā lǐ pēn chū ， zài shī qì zhī zhōng ， xùn bào zhǎng ， kàn shàng qù ， jìng yǔ rén lèi de dà tuǐ gǔ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù ， lì qì shēn zhòng ， yǔ mó rèn duì hōng ”
尸魔也不示弱，张开血盆大口，一件古怪的法宝从嘴巴里喷出，在尸气之中，迅暴涨，看上去，竟与人类的大腿骨有几分相似之处，戾气深重，与魔刃对轰”
The Corpse Demon was no less dauntless. Opening its blood-filled maw, it spat out an odd-looking treasure from within, which rapidly grew in size, resembling human thigh bones with their sinister energy, clashing with the demon blade.
biǎo miàn kàn qù ， shì jūn lì dí ， dàn shī mó de jìng jiè bì jìng wú fǎ yǔ dí rén xiāng bǐ 。
表面看去，势均力敌，但尸魔的境界毕竟无法与敌人相比。
On the surface, they seemed evenly matched, but the Corpse Demon's realm was still inferior to that of its opponent.
liǎng jiàn fǎ bǎo zhuàng zài yì qǐ ， shī mó lǐ miàn gǎn jué dào yī gǔ shèn lì ， rěn bú zhù zhāng kāi zuǐ ， pēn chū yī kǒu zǐ hóng sè de shī xuè 。
两件法宝撞在一起，尸魔里面感觉到一股甚力，忍不住张开嘴，喷出一口紫红色的尸血。
When the two treasures collided, a powerful force surged through the Corpse Demon from within, causing it to open its mouth and spit out a purple-red corpse blood.
shòu shāng bù qīng ， dàn shī mó háo bù zài hū ， yī jiù pīn mìng yǔ duì fāng jiū chán zhe 。
受伤不轻，但尸魔毫不在乎，依旧拼命与对方纠缠着。
Despite being injured, the Corpse Demon showed no concern, continuing to fiercely纠缠 with its foe.
ér lín xuān yě méi yǒu xián zhe 。
而林轩也没有闲着。
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan was not idle either. With his left hand, he flicked out a green flame slightly larger than an egg—his long-practiced Dark Flame.
zuǒ shǒu yī fān ， yī tuán bì lǜ sè de huǒ yàn yuè shēng chū lái 。
左手一翻，一团碧绿色的火焰跃升出来。
"Quickly!"
bǐ jī dàn shāo dà yī diǎn ， bú yòng shuō ， zhèng shì tā kǔ xiū duō nián de mó yán 。
比鸡蛋稍大一点，不用说，正是他苦修多年的魔炎。
Lin Xuan pointed at it, and the Dark Flame seemed to come alive, merging with the Green Fire Sword. The sword's surface glowed a ghastly green, while the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring spun rapidly, emitting countless spiritual lights, revealing several ice serpents and fire dragons before him.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
Though these illusions couldn't match true transformed beasts, they were no less formidable than peak third-stage creatures. They excelled in close combat; once they got near an opponent, even a Core Formation powerhouse would be hard-pressed to deal with them.
lín xuān yī zhǐ diǎn qù ， mó yán yǒu rú tōng líng yì bān ， yǔ qīng huǒ jiàn róng hé ， jiàn shēn biǎo miàn ， biàn de bì guāng cǎn cǎn ， zhì yú jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán ， zé dī liū liū xuán zhuǎn ， wú shù líng guāng fú xiàn ， jǐ tóu bīng jiāo yǔ huǒ lóng chū xiàn zài le miàn qián 。
林轩一指点去，魔炎有如通灵一般，与青火剑融合，剑身表面，变的碧光惨惨，至于九天明月环，则滴溜溜旋转，无数灵光浮现，几头冰蛟与火龙出现在了面前。
On the other side, Mo Yue had already summoned the Beast Soul Banner, and dark mists surged forth as ghostly wails echoed. Several large skull heads appeared.
zhè xiē huàn huà zhī wù ， suī rán bǐ bù shàng zhēn zhèng de huà xíng qī yāo zú ， dàn yǔ sān jiē dǐng fēng de yāo shòu xiāng bǐ ， què háo bù xùn sè 。
这些幻化之物，虽然比不上真正的化形期妖族，但与三阶顶峰的妖兽相比，却毫不逊色。
Each was about the size of a small room, with female ghosts seated atop each one, their hair disheveled and sharp nails protruding from their fingertips.
yóu qí shàn cháng jìn shēn ròu bó ， yí dàn bèi xī men pū jìn le ， yuán yīng lǎo guài yě huì tóu téng wú bǐ de 。
尤其擅长近身肉搏，一旦被牺们扑近了，元婴老怪也会头疼无比的。
Lin Xuan couldn't help but be taken aback. What kind of divine technique was this?
ér lìng yī cè ， yuè ér yě zǎo jiāng shòu hún fān jì chū ， yīn wù fān yǒng ， bàn suí zhe qī lì de guǐ kū 。 jǐ gè shuò dà de kū lóu tóu chū xiàn le 。
而另一侧，月儿也早将兽魂幡祭出，阴雾翻涌，伴随着凄厉的鬼哭。几个硕大的骷髅头出现了。
It seemed that even though she hadn't succeeded in forming an infant soul, Little Missy wasn't idle either; she had been secretly practicing many secret techniques.
tǐ jī kān yǔ xiǎo qiǎo de fáng jiān xiāng bǐ ， ér nà xiē kū lóu de dǐng bù ， hái fēn bié zuò zhe yī míng nǚ guǐ 。 pī tóu sàn ， měi yí gè ， dōu zhǎng zhe jiān jiān de zhǐ jiǎ 。
体积堪与小巧的房间相比，而那些骷髅的顶部，还分别坐着一名女鬼。披头散，每一个，都长着尖尖的指甲。
But he had never heard her mention it before—was she planning to give him a surprise?
lín xuān yě bù yóu de yī lèng ， zhè shì shén me shén tōng ？
林轩也不由得一愣，这是什么神通？
A smile crept across Lin Xuan's lips. But now was not the time for questions. With a wave of his sleeves, the Green Fire Sword flashed out and slashed with renewed vigor, combining with the Dark Flame this time. The opponent would surely suffer greatly if they tried using the same method again.
kàn lái suī rán méi yǒu jié yīng chéng gōng xiǎo yā tou yě wèi xián zhe ， àn dì lǐ ， xiū liàn le hěn duō mì shù 。
看来虽然没有结婴成功小丫头也未闲着，暗地里，修炼了很多秘术。
Following closely behind were the ice serpents and fire dragons, along with the female ghost skulls emerging from the Beast Soul Banner, creating a formidable spectacle.
bù guò què cóng wèi tí guò ， nán dào shì xiǎng yào gěi zì jǐ yí gè jīng xǐ me ？
不过却从未提过，难道是想要给自己一个惊喜么？
The Blood Demon's eyes showed signs of fear but quickly turned to ferocity as he realized his tail couldn't escape. With a swift motion, he severed it himself.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī xiào róng 。 bù guò xiàn zài zì rán méi yǒu shí jiān xún wèn shén me ， xiù páo yī fú ， qīng huǒ jiàn yǐ sà rán pī cì ér chū ， zhè yī huí yǔ mó yán róng hé ， duì fāng zài xiǎng yòng gāng cái de fāng fǎ dǎng zhù ， jué duì huì chī yí gè dà kǔ tóu 。
林轩嘴角边流露出一丝笑容。不过现在自然没有时间询问什么，袖袍一拂，青火剑已飒然劈刺而出，这一回与魔炎融合，对方再想用刚才的方法挡住，绝对会吃一个大苦头。
A warrior cutting off his own arm—such self-sacrifice was expected of an ancient demon survivor. Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and sighed inwardly. Unfortunately, the Corpse Demon raised its hand, flinging the scorpion tail away with force. It then exhaled dark magic aura, manipulating a bone staff to strike at him.
ér bīng jiāo huǒ lóng ， zé jǐn suí qí hòu 。
而冰蛟火龙，则紧随其后。
Though freed from the binds, it was too late for him to dodge or cast spells calmly. The Blood Demon's eyes filled with hatred as he faced this crisis, his fear vanishing and replaced by madness.
páng biān hái gēn zhe cóng shòu hún fān zhōng mào chū lái de nǚ guǐ kū lóu ， shēng shì lìng rén cè mù 。
旁边还跟着从兽魂幡中冒出来的女鬼骷髅，声势令人侧目。
How could one endure such humiliation!
xuè mó de yǎn zhōng yǐn xiàn wèi jù zhī sè ， dàn hěn kuài 。 yòu bèi xiōng lì suǒ dài tì le ， yǎn jiàn wěi ba shí zài zhēng zhá bù tuō ， zhè jiā huo shǒu qǐ dāo luò ， zì jǐ jiāng wěi ba zhǎn xià lái le 。
血魔的眼中隐现畏惧之色，但很快。又被凶厉所代替了，眼见尾巴实在挣扎不脱，这家伙手起刀落，自己将尾巴斩下来了。
The old demon had once been a dominant ruler; how often had he been cornered like this by a young whippersnapper? Now the hunter had become prey, and his ferocity surged.
zhuàng shì duàn wàn ， shēn wèi yuǎn gǔ huó xià lái de mó tóu 。 zhè diǎn zì cán de yǒng qì kěn dìng shì yǒu 。
壮士断腕，身为远古活下来的魔头。这点自残的勇气肯定是有。
Opening its blood-filled maw, it expelled all remaining dark magic aura without reserve. A demonic curtain appeared before him.
lín xuān yǎn jīng yī mī ， xīn zhōng àn tàn bù yǐ ， kě xī ， shī mó yī yáng shǒu bì ， jiāng nà xiē wěi hěn hěn de shuāi le chū qù ， suí hòu hún shēn shī qì tūn tǔ ， cāo zòng yuān hún rén gǔ bàng hěn hěn de xiàng duì fāng dǎ qù 。
林轩眼睛一眯，心中暗叹不已，可惜，尸魔一扬手臂，将那蝎尾狠狠的摔了出去，随后浑身尸气吞吐，操纵冤魂人骨棒狠狠的像对方打去。
But the Blood Demon was far from done. He extended his fist and struck his chest with force.
suī rán zhèng tuō shù fù ， dàn zhè shí hòu xiǎng yào duǒ bì huò zhě cóng róng shī fǎ yǐ jīng lái bù jí le ， xuè mó yǎn zhōng mǎn shì yuàn dú ， dāng cǐ wēi jī shí hài 。 liǎn shàng fǎn ér wèi jù jǐn qù ， qǔ ér dài zhī shì fēng kuáng 。
虽然挣脱束缚，但这时候想要躲避或者从容施法已经来不及了，血魔眼中满是怨毒，当此危机时亥。脸上反而畏惧尽去，取而代之是疯狂。
The thudding sound echoed in Lin Xuan's ears like a drumbeat. True power meant being merciless to one’s enemies but equally harsh on oneself when necessary.
shì kě rěn ， shú bù kě rěn ！
是可忍，孰不可忍！
With no holds barred, the Blood Demon尊者 battered himself until he saw stars. His throat felt sweet as blood gushed out of his mouth in spurts.
lǎo mó tóu yě céng shì yī fāng bà zhǔ ， hé zēng bèi yī hòu shēng xiǎo zi bī è rú cǐ láng bèi guò ， liè rén biàn chéng le liè wù ， tā bù yóu de xiōng xìng dà 。
老魔头也曾是一方霸主，何曾被一后生小子逼愕如此狼狈过，猎人变成了猎物，他不由得凶性大。
A normal cultivator would have fainted from such blood loss, but the Blood Demon's cultivation method had long fused with that of a beast, leaving him unscathed.
zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， jiāng xuán bǎo mó qì pēn tǔ ér chū ， yī sī bù shèng ， háo wú bǎo liú ， dùn shí 。 tā shēn qián chū xiàn le yī piàn mó mù 。
张开血盆大口，将玄宝魔气喷吐而出，一丝不剩，毫无保留，顿时。他身前出现了一片魔幕。
Of course, he would suffer greatly afterward, but at this moment, he couldn't care less.
ér xuè mó bìng wèi jiù cǐ bà xiū ， yòu shēn chū quán tou ， hěn mìng de zá xiàng zì jǐ de xiōng kǒu 。
而血魔并未就此罢休，又伸出拳头，狠命的砸像自己的胸口。
The essence of his blood quickly merged with the dark magic aura, turning it into an eerie purple-black color.
dōng dōng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， páng rú léi gǔ 。 zhēn zhèng de qiáng zhě ， bù jǐn néng duì dí rén lěng miàn wú qíng ， guān jiàn shí xuán ， duì zì jǐ yě kě yǐ yī yàng de cán rěn 。
咚咚的声音传入耳朵，彷如擂鼓。真正的强者，不仅能对敌人冷面无情，关键时玄，对自己也可以一样的残忍。
A surge of energy transformed it into a thick light curtain, covered in spiky tendrils.
xuè mó zūn zhě zhè jǐ quán háo wú bǎo liú ， jiāng zì jǐ zá dé yǎn mào jīn xīng ， hóu tóu yī tián ， zhāng kāi zuǐ lái ， xiān xuè yǒu ruò pēn quán ， dà kǒu dà kǒu de pēn chū tǐ wài 。
血魔尊者这几拳毫无保留，将自己砸得眼冒金星，喉头一甜，张开嘴来，鲜血有若喷泉，大口大口的喷出体外。
What kind of demonic technique was this?
ruò huàn yī míng xiū xiān zhě ， tǔ chū zhè me duō xuè ， jí shǐ bù lì kè yǔn luò ， kǒng pà yě yǎn yǎn yī xī le ， rán ér xuè mó xiū liàn de gōng fǎ tè shū ， zǎo yǐ yǔ yāo shòu róng hé ， què shì wú dà ài de 。
若换一名修仙者，吐出这么多血，即使不立刻陨落，恐怕也奄奄一息了，然而血魔修炼的功法特殊，早已与妖兽融合，却是无大碍的。
Lin Xuan frowned deeply. Though wary, he couldn't afford to stop attacking. He poured more spiritual power into the Green Fire Sword.
dāng rán ， shì hòu yě kěn dìng huì yuán qì dà sǔn ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā nǎ lǐ hái gù dé le xǔ duō 。
当然，事后也肯定会元气大损，但此时此刻，他哪里还顾得了许多。
The sword's momentum increased, its intense light forming long trails that looked like falling meteors.
nà xiē jīng xuè xùn yǔ xuán bǎo mó qì róng hé 。 yuán běn yǒu hēi de mó qì ， biàn chéng le guǐ yì de zǐ hēi zhī sè 。
那些精血迅与玄宝魔气融合。原本黝黑的魔气，变成了诡异的紫黑之色。
"Whoosh!"
yī zhèn fān yǒng ， huà wèi le níng hòu guāng mù ， ér guāng mù biǎo miàn ， hái yǒu mì mì má má de dài cì chù shǒu 。
一阵翻涌，化为了凝厚光幕，而光幕表面，还有密密麻麻的带刺触手。
The old demon spat out a burst of dark magic aura which merged with the light curtain, igniting dozens of thick tendrils black as night.
zhè shì shén me mó gōng ？
这是什么魔功？
Lin Xuan remained calm. He knew this dark fire couldn't match his Green Illusory Mystic Flame, and trying to counter it with fire was futile.
lín xuān méi tóu dà zhòu ， suī rán xīn zhōng jǐng jù 。 dàn gōng jī zì rán méi yǒu shí tú ér fèi de dào lǐ ， jiāng gèng duō de fǎ lì zhù rù dào le qīng huǒ jiàn lǐ 。
林轩眉头大皱，虽然心中警惧。但攻击自然没有十途而废的道理，将更多的法力注入到了青火剑里。
Sizzling!
cǐ jiàn qù shì yuè de jìn jí ， líng guāng yīn wèi tài guò qiáng liè huà wèi le cháng cháng de wěi yàn kàn shàng qù jiù fǎng fú cóng tiān shàng là xià lái de liú xíng yì bān 。
此剑去势越的劲急，灵光因为太过强烈化为了长长的尾焰看上去就仿佛从天上落下来的流行一般。
With a fierce slash from the Green Fire Sword, Lin Xuan launched his first attack, aiming to breach the opponent's defenses.
“ hū ！”
“呼！”
The intense light clashed with the Dark Flame, beginning their mutual destruction.
lǎo mó sāi bāng yī gù ， yī gǔ mó yán pēn tǔ ér chū 。 róng rù guāng mù yǐ hòu ， shù shí tiáo zuì wèi cū zhuàng de cū shǒu biǎo miàn yě rán qǐ le yǒu hēi de huǒ yàn 。
老魔腮帮一顾，一股魔炎喷吐而出。融入光幕以后，数十条最为粗壮的粗手表面也燃起了黝黑的火焰。
In just an instant, the outcome became clear. The Green Illusory Mystic Flame spread across the sword, enveloping the tendrils while the black magic aura began to retreat.
zhè huí lín xuān què bù jí ， suī rán bù zhī dào duì fāng xiū liàn de shì nǎ yī zhǒng mó huǒ ， dàn jué duì wú fǎ yǔ zì jǐ de bì huàn yōu huǒ xiāng pì měi de ， xiǎng yào yǐ huǒ kè huǒ ， tā zhè shì zài zì tǎo kǔ chī de 。
这回林轩却不急，虽然不知道对方修炼的是哪一种魔火，但绝对无法与自己的碧幻幽火相媲美的，想要以火克火，他这是在自讨苦吃的。
"What kind of demonic technique is this? It's so powerful that even my Corpse Dark Flame can't withstand it."
cī lā ！
刺啦！
The Blood Demon's face was filled with shock as he widened his eyes in disbelief.
qīng huǒ jiàn hěn hěn zhǎn le shàng qù ， zhè shì lín xuān de dì yī bō gōng jī ， mù dì jiù shì sī liè duì fāng de fáng yù 。
青火剑狠狠斩了上去，这是林轩的第一波攻击，目的就是撕裂对方的防御。
Indeed, the old demon had been unlucky. If he had practiced any other type of dark fire, perhaps he wouldn't have retreated so quickly.
líng guāng yào yǎn wú bǐ ， dú huǒ mó yán zhuàng zài yì qǐ ， kāi shǐ le hù xiāng tūn shì 。
灵光耀眼无比，毒火魔炎撞在一起，开始了互相吞噬。
But Corpse Fire, by its name, contained剧毒, and matched Lin Xuan's Green Illusory Mystic Flame in nature. This wasn't about losing; it was about being devoured by the enemy's poison.
dàn jǐn jǐn piàn xuán de gōng fu ， jiù fēn chū le shèng fù 。 bì huàn yōu huǒ cóng xiān jiàn biǎo miàn ， màn yán kāi lái 。 jiāng chù shǒu bāo guǒ ， ér nà yǒu hēi sè de mó yán ， zé kāi shǐ jié jié bài tuì le 。
但仅仅片玄的功夫，就分出了胜负。碧幻幽火从仙剑表面，蔓延开来。将触手包裹，而那黝黑色的魔炎，则开始节节败退了。
The Blood Demon realized this too late, feeling immense pain as he couldn't retract his tendrils. They were also terrified of the Green Illusory Mystic Flame, only enduring the attacks under the old demon's command.
“ zhè shì shén me mó gōng ， jìng lì hài dào rú cǐ de bù ， zì jǐ de fǔ shī mó yán ， jū rán dǐ dǎng bú zhù 。”
“这是什么魔功，竟厉害到如此的步，自己的腐尸魔炎，居然抵挡不住。”
Despite their numbers, the Green Fire Sword struggled to break through their defenses but eventually succeeded with the combined assault from the Corpse Demon's bone staff and the fire dragons and ice serpents.
xuè mó liǎn shàng mǎn shì hài rán zhī sè ， jīng è de dèng dà le yǎn zhū 。
血魔脸上满是骇然之色，惊愕的瞪大了眼珠。
The light curtain was finally shattered by a barrage of divine treasures.
Not to mention the mountains teeming with deadly traps, Lin Xuan was engaged in a fierce battle against the demon. Ya Shi Ming had reached a critical stage.
Especially so for the Corpse Demon, who was now at his most perilous point.
But as an automaton monster, he knew no fear and only faithfully executed Lin Xuan's commands, tightly binding his opponent.
The Blood Demon was both shocked and furious. He didn't have the patience to纠缠 with a炼尸, especially when there were other formidable enemies eyeing him from the side.
