那人，来自坤罗域，名叫阚兴明，为先天境中期的修为。
That person was from Kun Luo Domain. His name was Kan Xin Ming, he had a cultivation level of the mid-Xiantian Realm.

阚兴明的修炼属性，为五行之中的草木之力，围攻他的三人，分别来自于鬼宗和灰谷，境界在先天境初中期。
Kan Xin Ming’s cultivation attribute was the power of wood which was among the five phases of chinese philosophy. The three people that besieged him each came from Ghost Sect and Grey Valley. Their cultivation level was at the early-mid stage of Xiantian Realm.


他身穿一件奇异的灵甲，那灵甲像是由藤木和柳叶编织而成，蕴藏着草木之精。
He wore a bizarre spiritual armor on his body. The spiritual armor appeared to be made of cane woods and willow leaves. It contained the essence of plants.

从他身上涌现的血肉气息，生机勃勃，似乎能滋养草木，有着神奇的妙用。
The flesh and blood odor that emerged from his body was full of vitality. It’s as if it could nourish plants and had a mysterious use. 

他所使用的灵器，为一根暗青色的木杖，那木杖上也是生机浓郁，仿佛有着天然的
木纹，烙印着草木力量的真谛一般。
The spiritual weapon that he used was a wooden staff that was dark green in color. The wooden staff also had a strong life force, it’s as if it had natural wooden lines and was marked with the true essence of the strength of plants.

“咻咻！”
“Xiuxiu!”

一根根藤条，不时从他身上的灵甲内飞出，将三个围攻者的汹涌攻势，给轻易地拦截下来。
From time to time, canes would fly out one after another from the spiritual armor on his body and easily intercepted the turbulent attacks from the three people surrounding him.

他的眼睛，悄悄瞄向了聂天。
His eyes stealthily aimed towards Nie Tian.

他的三个对手，都是先天境初期和中期的修为，可那三人手背上的天门图案内，加起来也仅有五个赤红光点。
All three of his opponents were at the cultivation level of their early and middle Xiantian Realm. However, in the sky door pictures that were on the back of the three people’s hands, there were also only five scarlet light spots added up together.

这意味着，他即使斩杀了那三人，所能得到的收获，也就五个光点。
This meant that even if he had killed three of them, he would also be capable of gaining only five light spots.

可突然冒出的聂天，只有后天境的修为，手背上的赤红光点居然有七个之多！
But even though Nie Tian who suddenly came out of nowhere only had the cultivation level of Houtian Realm, there were surprisingly as many as seven scarlet light spots at the back of his hand.

只要他杀了聂天，他能得到的收益，就可以超过斩杀那三人的所获。
So long as he killed Nie Tian, the profits that he could gain would be able to surpass the ones that he got from killing the three people.

也是如此，他一边应付着那三人的攻势，一边以一种不易察觉的方式，慢慢地靠近了聂天。
Also because of this, on one hand, he dealt with the attacks from the three people while on the other, he used a method that was not easily noticeable and slowly approached Nie Tian. 

他的眼睛内，陡然闪烁出贪婪和凶戾之意。
A greedy and cruel desire abruptly flickered in his eyes.

“去！”
“Go!”

从他灵甲的胸口处，倏地飞出一片青翠欲滴的叶子，那叶子一离开他，就仿佛有着灵性一般，径直向聂天飘荡而来。
A fresh and green alluring leaf suddenly flew out from the chest spot of his spiritual armor. As soon as the leaf left him, it drifted directly towards Nie Tian like it had intelligence.

青翠的叶子，看似飘飘晃晃，其实速度极快。
The fresh and green leaf may have looked like it was floating and shaking, but actually it was at an extremely fast speed.

短短五秒后，那片青翠的叶子，就悄然临近聂天，并在瞬间涨大，化为了蒲扇大小，猛地贴向聂天的躯体。
After a short five seconds, the fresh and green leaf already quietly approached Nie Tian. It also expanded in an instant and turned into a body the size of a palm-tree leaf and abruptly sticked towards Nie Tian’s body. 

一点点靠近那残破城池，还想要通过那七个赤红光点，去接收神秘符文的聂天，突有所觉。
Nie Tian who was approaching the broken city little by little and even wanted to take in the mysterious seal writings through the seven scarlet light spots suddenly felt something.

然而，就在他察觉到不妙时，那蒲扇大小的叶子，又继续涨大着，一下子贴在他胸口。
However, right at the moment he became aware of the unfavorable situation, the leaf that was the size of a palm-tree leaf once again continued to expand. In a short while, it was sticked to his chest.

那叶子，像是一种绿植，竟瞬间深深扎根于他血肉之中。
The leaf was like a green plant. It unexpectedly struck roots into his body in an instant.

藏于他体内的血肉之力，被诡异的力量牵引着，竟然被拽出来，疯狂地流逝向那叶子。
The flesh energy that was stored in his body was drawn out by a weird force. It surprisingly got dragged out and madly flowed towards the leaf.

青翠的叶子，汲取着他的血肉之力，以惊人的速度蜕变着，成为了一株奇特的植物，将他整个躯体包裹住。
As the green and fresh leaf absorbed his vital energy, it transformed at a frightening pace. It turned into a peculiar plant and wrapped around his whole body.

一根根尖刺，从那植物内突出来，扎入了聂天的血肉内。
Sticks of sharp thorns protruded one after another from the plant and penetrated into Nie Tian’s flesh.

聂天体内的生命和血肉之力，被那一株突然生长出来的植物，给拼命地吸吮着。
The plant that suddenly grew out drew out the vital and flesh and blood energy in Nie Tian’s body as if their life depended on it.

坤罗域的阚兴明，眼中满是残忍与癫狂，他低声怪笑着，舔了舔唇角，以一种满足的语气说道：“不错，很精纯的血肉气息。嘿，没想到区区一个后天境的小子，体内竟然蕴藏着如此丰沛的血肉之力，我运气还真是不错。”
The eyes of Kan Xing Ming from Kun Luo Realm were full of cruelty and madness. He laughed strangely in a low voice, licked his lips and said in a satisfied tone:” Not bad, it’s a really pure blood and flesh odor. Heh, I have never thought that there would actually be such a rich flesh energy in the body of a brat who is in Houtian realm. I indeed am in luck.”

他释放出的那一片叶子，涨大后变化成的植物，能吸收生灵的血肉之力。
The leaf that he let out and the plant that it turned into after it expanded could absorb the flesh and blood energy from the living things.

那些血肉之力，可以被他通过秘术，导引到自己的体内，让他能迅速补充自己的损耗，加强其战力。
Those flesh and blood energy could be guided into his body through secret arts. This enabled him to rapidly replenish his own wear and tear and strengthen his battle ability.

他本以为，只有后天境的聂天，体内不太可能存在多少血肉之力。
Originally, he had thought that it would not be too possible for Nie Tian who was only in Houtian Realm to have much blood and flesh energy in his body.

当他发现那叶子抽离了一会儿，还能从聂天体内，持续获取血肉之力时，他笑的愈发开心了。
When he noticed that the leaf could still continue to take in flesh and blood energy from Nie Tian’s body after it pulled out for a while, he laughed more and more happily.

“妙哉！妙哉啊！”
“Wonderful! This is wonderful!”

在他来看，要不了太久，聂天一身的血肉之力，就会被抽离的干干净净。
From what he saw, it would not be too long and the blood and flesh energy in Nie Tian’s entire body would have been removed completely.

到了那时，他不但可以通过聂天获取不少的血肉之力，因为聂天被他所杀，他还可以额外得到七个赤红光点。
Until that moment, not only would he be able to get a lot of blood and flesh energy through Nie Tian, since Nie Tian was murdered by him, he could even obtain seven scarlet light spots in addition.

那七个赤红光点，可以让他接收吸纳更多的神秘符文，让他获取更多的造化。
The seven scarlet light spots could make him accept and absorb even more mysterious seal writings, letting him gain even more fortunes. 

“聂天！”
“Nie Tian!”

另一边，不断躲避着绿色光焰腐蚀的厉樊，分神去看，注意到了聂天的困境。
On the other side, Li Fan who was constantly evading the green flames’ corrosion distracted himself and looked. He noticed Nie Tian’s predicament.

此刻的聂天，像是被一株植物给吞没了，聂天强壮的躯体，正在逐渐变得干瘪，血肉和四肢百骸内的精纯生命之力，正在极速流失。
Nie Tian at this moment was like he had been swallowed by a plant. Nie Tian’s strong body was slowly getting dried up. His blood and flesh along with the pure vital energy in his limbs and bones were draining up quickly.

他的一声暴喝，让封罗和柳砚，也注意到了聂天的异状。
His violent scream had made Feng Luo and Liu Yan also noticed Nie Tian’s unusual condition.

封罗略显惊讶，似乎觉得聂天会被轻易制住，不太应该。
Feng Luo looked slightly astonished. He seemed to feel that it shouldn’t be too possible that Nie Tian would be easily stopped.

也不知为何，虽然看到聂天被一株植物吞没了，他还是没感到太担心。
He also did not know why, even though he saw Nie Tian swallowed by a plant, he still did not feel worried.

因为，他发现聂天的神情，似乎……并没有那么恐惧和绝望。
Because he noticed Nie Tian’s expression did not seem to look that fearful and in desperate.

和聂天一同经历过赵沫和杜荒战斗的他，始终没有真正看透聂天，但他却总有一种感觉……聂天绝不会那么轻易被杀。
He who has experienced Du Huang and Zhao Mo’s battles together with Nie Tian still hadn’t truly seen through Nie Tian all along. However, he had a feeling that Nie Tian would definitely not be killed that easily.

所以他虽然有些惊讶，但只是静观其变，没有做出救援的举动。
Thus even though he was a bit astonished, he only calmly observed the changes. He did not make any move to assist him.

他不动，凌云宗的厉樊和柳砚，却心急如焚，想要冲过去帮聂天解围。
He did not move. Li Fan and Liu Yan from Lingyun Sect however, were impatient like they were about to burn. They wanted to rush towards Nie Tian to help him out of trouble.

“缪兄，看好你的对手。”阚兴明扬声道。
“Brother Miao, look after your opponent.” Kan Xing Ming raised his voice and said.

缪辰撇了撇嘴，似觉得阚兴明小题大做，“放心吧，他们一个都休想过去耽误你的好事。” 
Miao Chen twitched his mouth. He seemed to think that Kang Xin Ming was making a big fuss over a minor issue,”Don’t worry, not even a single one of them can think about delaying your good fortunes.”

话音一落，一簇簇浮动的绿幽光焰，像是天女散花般，奔着厉樊和柳砚而去。
As soon as these words dropped, the floating green secluded flames rushed towards Liu Yan and Li Fan like angels scattering blossoms.

厉樊和柳砚，一下子被那些绿幽光焰给笼罩住，只能在一片很小的空间躲闪活动，压根无法挣脱出来。
In a short while, Li Fan and Liu Yan were enveloped by the green secluded flames. They could only move and dodge in a very small space. They absolutely could not struggle out of the way.

他们再急切，也需要从那绿幽光焰的恐怖腐蚀之力内，先找到解决的办法。
No matter how impatient they were, they would still need to first find out a solution to the terrifying corroding power from the green secluded flame.

不然，不等他们冲离那片区域，就会被绿色光焰给吞没，化为两具白森森的骸骨，落地时四分五裂。
Or else, before they dashed out and escape from that area, they would have been swallowed by the green flames and turned into two forest white skeletons that became all split up in pieces when it dropped down to the ground.

“该死的！”厉樊大骂。
“God damn it!” Li Fan cursed.

他早劝说过，让聂天有多远逃多远，聂天偏偏不听。
He had advised Nie Tian long ago to escape as far away as possible. Nie Tian unfortunately did not listen to him.

不听也就罢了，聂天还不知死活的，胆敢靠近这残破城池！
Not only did he not listen, Nie Tian had even acted recklessly and dared to get close to the broken city!

被绿色光焰所困的厉樊，越是无可奈何，越是愤怒聂天的胆大包天。
The more Li Fan who was trapped by the green flame felt they have no way out, the more furious they were at Nie Tian for being reckless.

“生命流逝，血肉干瘪……”
“Life force draining out, blood and flesh getting dried up……”

聂天眯着眼，感受着体内的变化，神情还算是镇定，脸上也没有显露出恐惧。
Nie Tian squinted as he felt the changes in his body. His expression was still considered to be calm, his face showed no sign of fear.

他手脚不能动，但他只要愿意，他可以将储物手环内的炎龙铠唤出，也可以将他师傅留给他的保命灵符给激发一枚。
Both his arms and legs could not move. But so long as he wished, he could summon the Flame Dragon Armor from his storage bracelet. He could also trigger a life insurance spiritual seal that his master left him.

可他并没有那么去做。
But he did not actually do it.

之所以如此，是因为当那一株植物，将其完全裹住，并一点点抽离他血肉生机时，他本能地生出了一种异样感。
The reason for this was because at the moment the plant completely wrapped around him and took out his blood and flesh life force bit by bit, an unusual feeling instinctively grew out in him.

他感到了兴奋和激动！
He felt excited and agitated!

这情绪，源自于内心，他心脏嘭嘭跳动着，似在渴望着什么。
This emotion originated from his heart. His heart throbbed like it’s thirsting for something.

一直以来，他都知道自己异于常人。
Since a long time ago, he had known that he was different from ordinary people.

他比常人精神力强大的多，肉身也一样强健，而且他还可以通过吞服灵兽肉，来不断淬磨躯体。
His mental state was much more stronger compared to ordinary people. His physical body was also as sturdy. Furthermore, he could even temper and grind his body continuously by swallowing meats that belonged to the spiritual beasts.

以前，他数次遇难，濒临死亡之际，他的心脏也会发生诡变。
In the past, he had run into crisis a number of times. At the time when he was on the verge of death, sly changes would also occur in his heart.

这种种，都足以证明，他这具躯体隐藏着秘密。
These kinds of things were already enough to prove that there were secrets hidden in this body of his.

华暮也隐隐向他透露过，他在天门内，或许可以解开一部分自身的秘密。
Hua Mu had also revealed secretly to him that he might be able to understand a part of the secrets about himself in the sky door.

“嘭嘭！嘭嘭嘭！”
“Pengpeng!Pengpengpeng!”

他的心跳声，随着血肉生机的流失，变得越来越快。
The sound of his heartbeat became faster and faster following the draining of his blood and flesh life force.

渐渐地，他有些晕眩，似乎是因为生机被抽离了不少，就在这种奇特的状态，他的灵魂意识，仿佛飘离到了胸口的心脏。
Gradually, he felt a bit dizzy. It seemed to be because a lot of his life force had been removed. Exactly under this kind of unusual circumstances, his spiritual consciousness appeared to have fluttered the heart that was in his chest.

浑浑噩噩中，他似乎看到他心脏内，一条条血管，似绽放出了璀璨光辉。
As he muddled along without any aim, he seemingly felt that there appeared to be bright light blossomed in the blood vessels of his heart.
血管，像是瞬间化为了根根剔透的晶体，血管之内，仿佛有许许多多不明的异芒闪烁着，那些异芒像是在逐渐衍变着，进行着某种他无法理解的变化！
The blood vessels were as if it had turned into clear crystals in an instant. There appeared to be a lot of unknown, unusual light flickering in the blood vessels. The unusual lights seemed like they were slowly transforming, undergoing some kind of changes that could not be understood.

“轰！”
“Hong!”

他脑海轰然一震，灵魂意识顿时回归，有些头晕目眩的他，霎时恢复清醒。
His mind shaked abruptly and his mental consciousness came back immediately. He who was a bit dazzled became clear-headed in a split-second.

下一刻，一股充满着狂暴掠夺气息的动静，从他心脏内猛然滋生。
At the next moment, a sound of activity that was full of violent, plundering odor emerged abruptly from within his heart.

只见那一株不断生长，将他完全覆盖的奇异植物，突然以肉眼可见的速度开始枯萎凋零。
It was seen that the unusual plant that was constantly growing and wrapped him up completely suddenly wilted and went back to zero at a speed that was visible with naked eyes.

那植物所吸收的，来自于他体内的浓郁血肉生机，在极短时间内，都重归于他体内。
The rich blood and flesh life force that the plant had taken in which originated from within his body returned back into his body in an extremely short time. 

他那干瘪的躯体，也像是充气的皮球般，迅速膨胀壮大！
His wizened body also expanded rapidly like a ball that was being inflated.

短短几十秒的时间，他又恢复原样，变得神采飞扬，似再也不受丝毫影响。
Within almost a short ten seconds, he recovered to his original look once again. He was in high spirits and appeared to be uninfluenced in the slightest. 

反而是那一株枯萎的植物，则是化为飞灰，因他随意扭动了一下身子，就消失不见了。
On the contrary, the wilted plant turned into flying dust. It disappeared completely as he twisted his body at will.

……
