“ nǐ men jǐ gè ， hái lèng zhe gàn má ， xiǎng yào wǒ dòng shǒu ma ？” hēi yún fān yǒng ， qiáng dà de líng lì wēi yā cóng lǐ miàn yì sàn ér chū ， lǒng zhào zhù le qián miàn de sān gè xiū zhēn zhě 。
“你们几个，还愣着干嘛，想要我动手吗？”黑云翻涌，强大的灵力威压从里面逸散而出，笼罩住了前面的三个修真者。
"Hey, you guys, what are you waiting for? Do you want me to make the first move?" The black clouds churned, and a powerful aura of spiritual energy radiated out, enveloping three cultivators in front.
miàn duì zhù jī qī gāo shǒu de yā lì ， yī dī hàn shuǐ cóng zhāng tāo de é tóu shàng dī luò xià lái ， dàn tā hé liǎng gè tóng bàn duì shì yī yǎn ， bìng méi yǒu xuǎn zé qū fú 。
面对筑基期高手的压力，一滴汗水从张涛的额头上滴落下来，但他和两个同伴对视一眼，并没有选择屈服。
Facing the pressure from a Foundation Establishment stage expert, a drop of sweat fell from Zhang Tao's forehead. However, he and his two companions exchanged glances without yielding.
sān rén dōu shì líng dòng qī dà yuán mǎn ， fàng shǒu yī bó ， wèi bì méi yǒu shèng suàn ， shí zài bù gān xīn hǎo bù róng yì jī zǎn xià lái de jīng shí bǎo wù ， jiù zhè yàng luò rù bié rén de shǒu lǐ 。
三人都是灵动期大圆满，放手一搏，未必没有胜算，实在不甘心好不容易积攒下来的晶石宝物，就这样落入别人的手里。
They were all at the peak of the Flexible Spirit Period, and they might have a chance if they went all out. They couldn't bear to let their hard-earned crystal stones and treasures fall into someone else's hands so easily.
ér qiě yǔ qí tā xiū shì gè huái yì xīn bù tóng ， tā men sān gè kě shì cóng xiǎo yì qǐ zhǎng dà ， bú shì xiōng dì ， què shèng sì xiōng dì ， gòng tóng jìn tuì méi yǒu wèn tí 。= jūn zǐ táng shǒu fā =
而且与其他修士各怀异心不同，他们三个可是从小一起长大，不是兄弟，却胜似兄弟，共同进退没有问题。=君子堂首发=
Unlike other cultivators with ulterior motives, these three had grown up together since childhood. Though not brothers by blood, they were like brothers in every way, ready to stand together.
wū yún lǐ fàng shè chū yī lǚ lǚ hēi sè de diàn máng ， xiū mó zhě de nài xīn yǐ dào le jí xiàn ， yǎn kàn duì fāng yǒu dòng shǒu de qián zhào ， zhāng tāo měng yī yǎo yá ， xiān xià shǒu wéi qiáng ！
乌云里放射出一缕缕黑色的电芒，修魔者的耐心已到了极限，眼看对方有动手的前兆，张涛猛一咬牙，先下手为强！
Black lightning bolts shot out from the clouds as the demon cultivator's patience was at its end. Zhang Tao gritted his teeth and made the first move before the other side could act.
líng lì yùn zhuàn ， yī bǐng fēi dāo mú yàng de líng qì bèi tā jì le qǐ lái 。
灵力运转，一柄飞刀模样的灵器被他祭了起来。
He activated a spiritual artifact that looked like a flying knife.
wū yún lǐ fā chū yī shēng lěng xiào ， wú shù xì xiǎo de diàn máng huì jí zài yì qǐ ， biàn chéng le yī gǔ ér bì cū de shǎn diàn ， pī cì xià lái 。
乌云里发出一声冷笑，无数细小的电芒汇集在一起，变成了一股儿臂粗的闪电，劈刺下来。
A cold laugh echoed from within the black clouds, and countless tiny lightning bolts coalesced into a thick bolt of lightning, striking down.
luò léi shù ， yǐ gōng jī lì zhù chēng de gāo jiē fǎ jué ！
落雷术，以攻击力著称的高阶法诀！
Thunderbolt Spell—this high-grade spell was known for its offensive power!
yǎn kàn shǎn diàn jiù yào pī zhōng zhāng tāo ， cóng tā páng biān ， què xié fēi chū yī bǐng huáng sè de yǔ sǎn ， fáng yù líng qì ， yí gè xiào róng kě jū de pàng zi ， dàn shí lì què bù róng xiǎo shì 。
眼看闪电就要劈中张涛，从他旁边，却斜飞出一柄黄色的雨伞，防御灵器，一个笑容可掬的胖子，但实力却不容小视。
Just as the lightning was about to hit Zhang Tao, a yellow umbrella flew out diagonally from his side. It was a defensive spiritual artifact wielded by a smiling fat man whose strength shouldn't be underestimated.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， zhāng tāo de lìng wài yí gè tóng bàn yě dòng shǒu le ， tā de líng qì shì yī kuài jīn zhuān ， zhù rù líng lì hòu ， yǒu fáng zi dà xiǎo 。^^ shǒu fā jūn zǐ táng ^^
与此同时，张涛的另外一个同伴也动手了，他的灵器是一块金砖，注入灵力后，有房子大小。^^首发君子堂^^
At the same time, Zhang Tao's other companion also made a move. His spiritual artifact was a golden brick that grew as large as a house when infused with spiritual energy.
liǎng rén jìn gōng ， yī rén fáng shǒu ， zhè sān gè líng dòng qī dà yuán mǎn de xiū zhēn zhě ， dǎo shì shí fēn mò qì yú pèi hé 。
两人进攻，一人防守，这三个灵动期大圆满的修真者，倒是十分默契于配合。
Two attacked while one defended; these three peak Flexible Spirit cultivators worked well together.
wū yún nù hǒu lián lián ， yī tuán tuán de hēi qì zhōng ， yǐn yǐn yǒu xuè guāng fú xiàn 。
乌云怒吼连连，一团团的黑气中，隐隐有血光浮现。
The black clouds roared continuously, and bloodstains began to appear amidst the swirling dark mists.
xiū mó zhě de líng qì zhōng yú yě bèi jì le qǐ lái 。 nà shì yī bǐng chāo guò sān mǐ zhǎng de jù jiàn 。
修魔者的灵器终于也被祭了起来。那是一柄超过三米长的巨剑。
The demon cultivator also activated his spiritual artifact. It was an enormous sword over three meters long.
shà shí jiān ， tiān kōng bèi gè sè qí guāng lǒng zhào ……
霎时间，天空被各色奇光笼罩……
Suddenly, the sky was shrouded in various strange lights...
qí tā de xiǎo xiū shì jiàn dào pián yi ， cǐ shí bù liū ， gèng dài hé shí ， rán ér shēn xíng pǔ dòng ， yī shù shǎn diàn jiù jiāng pǎo zài zuì qián miàn dì mǒu dǎo méi guǐ guàn chuān ， yīn hěn de shēng yīn cóng tóu dǐng piāo luò xià lái ：“ shuí gǎn zǒu ， shā wú shè 。”
其他的小修士见到便宜，此时不溜，更待何时，然而身形浦动，一束闪电就将跑在最前面地某倒霉鬼贯穿，阴狠的声音从头顶飘落下来：“谁敢走，杀无赦。”
Seeing their chance, other small cultivators hesitated for a moment but then fled. However, a bolt of lightning pierced through the first one who tried to escape, and a harsh voice echoed from above: "Who dares to run? I'll kill you all!"
huò xǔ shì bèi duì fāng de xuè xīng cán kù de shǒu duàn xià zhù le ， huò xǔ shì méi yǒu rén zài yuàn yì dāng chū tóu niǎo 。 shèng xià de xiǎo xiū shì men yóu yù le yī xià 。 zhēn de tíng le xià lái 。
或许是被对方的血腥残酷的手段吓住了，或许是没有人再愿意当出头鸟。剩下的小修士们犹豫了一下。真的停了下来。
Perhaps intimidated by the demon's brutal methods or perhaps no longer willing to be the first to act, the remaining small cultivators stopped.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī lěng xiào 。 tái tóu kàn le yī yǎn tiān shàng ， cǐ shí de zhàn jú yǐ shì yī biān dǎo ， suī rán zhāng tāo sān rén pèi hé mò qì ， dàn yī lái méi yǒu hǎo de líng qì ， èr lái jīng yàn yě bù zú ， hěn kuài jiù chù zài le xià fēng ， xiàn zài bù guò shì kǔ kǔ zhī chēng 。
林轩嘴角边流露出一丝冷笑。抬头看了一眼天上，此时的战局已是一边倒，虽然张涛三人配合默契，但一来没有好的灵器，二来经验也不足，很快就处在了下风，现在不过是苦苦支撑。
Lin Xuan sneered. He looked up at the sky; the battle was clearly one-sided. Although Zhang Tao and his companions cooperated well, they lacked good spiritual artifacts and experience, quickly falling behind. They were just holding on now.
xiū mó zhě bìng méi yǒu xià shā shǒu ， ér shì māo xì lǎo shǔ yī yàng ， tiān kōng zhōng xuè huā bèng jiàn ， sān rén bù tíng shòu shāng 。 què yòu bìng bù zhì mìng ， kàn dé qí tā xiǎo xiū shì liǎn qīng chún bái 。
修魔者并没有下杀手，而是猫戏老鼠一样，天空中血花迸溅，三人不停受伤。却又并不致命，看得其他小修士脸青唇白。
The demon cultivator didn't want to kill them but toyed with them like a cat with a mouse. Blood splattered as the three kept getting injured but not fatally so, causing other small cultivators to pale in fear.
shā jī jǐng hóu ， duì fāng de yì tú shí fēn míng xiǎn ， bù guò kàn jiàn xiū mó zhě xiāo zhāng dé yì dì mú yàng ， lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ yì guāng 。
杀鸡儆猴，对方的意图十分明显，不过看见修魔者嚣张得意地模样，林轩眼中闪过一缕异光。
Scare tactics—this was obvious from their actions. Seeing the demon's arrogant and triumphant demeanor, Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement.
chén yín le yī xià ， tā jiāng fēi jiàn jì le qǐ lái ， jiā rù zhàn tuán 。
沉吟了一下，他将飞剑祭了起来，加入战团。
After some thought, he activated his flying sword and joined the fray.
jū rán hái yǒu rén gǎn chū shǒu 。 xiū mó zhě yǒu xiē yì wài ， bù guò huí tóu piē le yī yǎn ， jiù háo bù zài yì le ， yí gè líng dòng zhōng qī dì nián qīng rén ér yǐ ， zhēn shì dǎn dà bāo tiān 。
居然还有人敢出手。修魔者有些意外，不过回头瞥了一眼，就毫不在意了，一个灵动中期地年轻人而已，真是胆大包天。
Someone actually dared to intervene! The demon cultivator was surprised but dismissed it; just an ordinary young man in his mid-Flexible Spirit stage—truly bold.
suī rán tā yǒu yī bǐng bù cuò dì fēi jiàn ， shàng pǐn líng qì ， dàn yǐ dì sì céng gōng fǎ de shí lì 。 gēn běn jiù fā huī bù chū bǎo wù de wēi lì 。
虽然他有一柄不错地飞剑，上品灵器，但以第四层功法的实力。根本就发挥不出宝物的威力。
Although he had a decent flying sword, a top-grade spiritual artifact, its power couldn't be unleashed with only Fourth Stage cultivation techniques.
xiū mó zhě bìng méi yǒu jiāng lín xuān de gōng jī fàng zài yǎn lǐ 。 jǐn jǐn shì cóng wū yún zhōng fēn chū le yī lǚ hēi qì ， yǔ tā de fēi jiàn jiū chán zài yì qǐ 。
修魔者并没有将林轩的攻击放在眼里。仅仅是从乌云中分出了一缕黑气，与他的飞剑纠缠在一起。
The demon cultivator didn't pay much attention to Lin Xuan's attack. He merely sent a black mist from the clouds to纠缠 his flying sword.
lín xuān de biǎo qíng níng zhòng wú bǐ 。 wéi yǒu yǎn dǐ shēn chù ， yǐn cáng zhe yī lǚ jī cháo ， xīn zhōng àn àn hǎo xiào ， hóng líng cǎo lǜ yè guǒ rán shén qí ， yǐn cáng xiū wèi ， zhǐ yào yùn yòng dé dào ， kě yǐ qǐ dào tōu xí de qí xiào 。
林轩的表情凝重无比。唯有眼底深处，隐藏着一缕讥嘲，心中暗暗好笑，红绫草绿液果然神奇，隐藏修为，只要运用得到，可以起到偷袭的奇效。
Lin Xuan's expression was grave, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes as he secretly chuckled. The Red Silk Grass Green Liquid truly worked wonders; concealing his strength could provide a surprise attack effect.
yǎn jiàn duì fāng de zhù yì lì dōu zài zhāng tāo sān xiōng dì nà biān ， zì jǐ de fēi jiàn lí duì fāng yǐ bù zú shí mǐ ， lín xuān de liǎn shàng fú xiàn chū kě pà dì shā qì 。
眼见对方的注意力都在张涛三兄弟那边，自己的飞剑离对方已不足十米，林轩的脸上浮现出可怕地杀气。
Seeing that everyone's attention was on Zhang Tao and his companions, Lin Xuan's flying sword was less than ten meters away from the demon cultivator. A terrifying aura spread across his face.
qiáng dà de líng lì yǐ tā shēn tǐ wèi zhōng xīn shì fàng chū lái ， shǒu qiā fǎ jué ， duì zhe líng qì qīng qīng yì diǎn ：“ huà xíng ！”
强大的灵力以他身体为中心释放出来，手掐法诀，对着灵器轻轻一点：“化形！”
Powerful spiritual energy surged out from his body as he flicked a hand gesture: "Transform!"
fēi jiàn háo guāng dà fàng ， niǔ qū huà wèi le yī tiáo jiāo lóng de xíng zhuàng ， zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo de pū le guò qù ， xiū mó zhě dà jīng ， xiǎng yào duǒ shǎn yǐ jīng lái bù jí ， zhǐ néng miǎn qiǎng zài shēn tǐ zhōu wéi bù xià le yī céng fáng yù ， rán ér qū qū líng lì hù dùn ， rú hé dǎng dé zhù lín xuān de quán lì yī jí 。
飞剑毫光大放，扭曲化为了一条蛟龙的形状，张牙舞爪的扑了过去，修魔者大惊，想要躲闪已经来不及，只能勉强在身体周围布下了一层防御，然而区区灵力护盾，如何挡得住林轩的全力一级。
The flying sword emitted a bright glow, twisting into the shape of a dragon, which lunged forward. The demon cultivator was taken aback and couldn't dodge in time; he could only hastily set up a defensive shield around himself.
lìng rén yá suān de shēng yīn chuán le guò lái ， líng lì hù dùn bèi jiāo lóng de lì zhuǎ sī wèi le liǎng bàn ， rán hòu yī kǒu jiāng tā dì hóu lóng yǎo kāi 。
令人牙酸的声音传了过来，灵力护盾被蛟龙的利爪撕为了两半，然后一口将他地喉咙咬开。
However, Lin Xuan's full power spiritual energy shield easily tore through it, and his flying sword bit open the demon's throat.
lín xuān shǒu yī zhāo ， jiāo lóng fēi le huí lái ， tóng shí hái shùn biàn shōu guā le xiū mó zhě de chǔ wù dài 。
林轩手一招，蛟龙飞了回来，同时还顺便收刮了修魔者的储物袋。
Lin Xuan waved his hand, and the dragon flew back. It also took the demon cultivator's storage bracelet as a bonus.
shì fā tū rán ， suǒ yǒu rén mù dèng kǒu dāi ， yòng jìng wèi de mù guāng wàng zhe lín xuān 。
事发突然，所有人目瞪口呆，用敬畏的目光望着林轩。
Everyone was stunned by the sudden incident, looking at Lin Xuan with awe.
zhè wèi mào bù jīng rén de shào nián ， jū rán shì zhù jī qī de qián bèi ！
这位貌不惊人的少年，居然是筑基期的前辈！
This unassuming young man turned out to be a Foundation Establishment stage expert!
yī zhāo jiù jī shā le xiū mó zhě ， rán ér zài chǎng de líng dòng qī xiū shì bìng méi yǒu gāo xìng ， yīn wèi bù zhī dào lín xuān huì rú hé chǔ zhì tā men 。
一招就击杀了修魔者，然而在场的灵动期修士并没有高兴，因为不知道林轩会如何处置他们。
One move, and he had killed the demon cultivator. However, the other Flexible Spirit cultivators weren't happy; they didn't know how Lin Xuan would handle them.
ér nà jǐ gè céng yǔ lín xuān zhēng qiǎng fèi dān de rén ， cǐ shí gèng shì xīn jīng dǎn zhàn ， xiǎng xiǎng gāng cái dì qíng jǐng ， jiù bèi lěng hàn jìn shī le bèi
而那几个曾与林轩争抢废丹的人，此时更是心惊胆战，想想刚才地情景，就被冷汗浸湿了背
The few who had competed with Lin Xuan for waste pills were even more terrified, thinking about what happened just now made their backs sweat.
lín xuān huí tóu kàn le zhòng rén yī yǎn ， dà bù fèn xiū shì dōu dī xià tou qù ， bù gǎn yǔ tā mù guāng xiāng pèng chù ， lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu ， yě bù duō yán ， dùn guāng fēi zǒu 。
林轩回头看了众人一眼，大部分修士都低下头去，不敢与他目光相碰触，林轩摇了摇头，也不多言，遁光飞走。
Lin Xuan glanced at everyone and most of the cultivators lowered their heads, avoiding his gaze. He shook his head and said nothing before flying away in a flash.
tā lí kāi shù fēn zhōng yǐ hòu ， zhòng xiū shì cái huí guò shén lái 。
他离开数分钟以后，众修士才回过神来。
Several minutes later, the bustling market was empty, leaving only a few corpses lying on the ground.
liǎn shàng shǎn guò jié hòu yú shēng dì huān xǐ ， rán hòu jiù gè zì shōu shí dōng xī lí qù 。
脸上闪过劫后余生地欢喜，然后就各自收拾东西离去。
Lin Xuan didn't go far; he merely circled around nearby and quietly returned. With his cultivation level, no one among the low-level cultivators could detect him.
hěn kuài ， rè nào de fāng shì jiù kōng wú yì rén ， zhǐ shèng xià dì shàng gū líng líng dì tǎng zhe jǐ jù shī tǐ 。
很快，热闹的坊市就空无一人，只剩下地上孤零零地躺着几句尸体。
This treasure hunt had been fruitful for Lin Xuan—hundreds of Foundation Establishment stage waste pills and the demon cultivator's storage bracelet.
lín xuān bìng méi yǒu zǒu yuǎn ， jǐn jǐn shì zài fù jìn rào le yī quān ， rán hòu jiù qiāo qiāo de fēi le huí lái ， yǐ tā de xiū wèi ， zài chǎng de dī jiē xiū shì suī duō ， què yě méi yǒu yí gè rén néng gòu fā xiàn 。
林轩并没有走远，仅仅是在附近绕了一圈，然后就悄悄的飞了回来，以他的修为，在场的低阶修士虽多，却也没有一个人能够发现。
At the last moment, Lin Xuan chose to act but not as a savior; he saw an opportunity to make some quick gains.
zhè yī cì táo bǎo huì ， lín xuān shōu huò bù xiǎo ， yì bǎi lì zhù jī qī de fèi dān ， hái yǒu nà xiū mó zhě de chǔ wù dài 。
这一次淘宝会，林轩收获不小，一百粒筑基期的废丹，还有那修魔者的储物袋。
Lin Xuan wasn't good or bad. He wouldn't kill or rob for profit, but if there was no risk involved, taking advantage of someone else and making a small fortune was fine with him.
zài zuì hòu shí kè ， lín xuān hái shì xuǎn zé le chū shǒu ， bù guò tā de mù dì ， bìng bú shì yào dāng jiù shì zhǔ ， ér shì kàn chū le yǒu pián yi kě jiǎn 。
在最后时刻，林轩还是选择了出手，不过他的目的，并不是要当救世主，而是看出了有便宜可拣。
Cleaning through the demon cultivator's storage bracelet revealed more than Lin Xuan had expected. He had come here to rob, thinking the person might be too poor, but it turned out they were quite wealthy.
lín xuān bú shì hǎo rén ， dàn yě bù huài ， zhǔ dòng shā rén qiǎng bǎo zhè zhǒng shì qíng shì bú huì gàn de ， dàn rú guǒ zài bù xū yào mào shén me wēi xiǎn de qíng kuàng xià ， hēi chī hēi ， fā yī bǐ xiǎo cái ， hái shì shí fēn lè yì 。
林轩不是好人，但也不坏，主动杀人抢宝这种事情是不会干的，但如果在不需要冒什么危险的情况下，黑吃黑，发一笔小财，还是十分乐意。
There were over a thousand attribute crystal stones, several scrolls of talismans and pills, and an excellent spiritual artifact—the powerful sword.
jié guǒ yī qīng lǐ xiū mó zhě de chǔ wù dài ， bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de yào fēng hòu dé duō ， yuán běn tā lái zhè lǐ qiǎng jié ， lín xuān hái céng yǐ wéi cǐ rén shì bú shì tài qióng kùn liáo dǎo ， jié guǒ xiāng fǎn 。
结果一清理修魔者的储物袋，比自己想象的要丰厚得多，原本他来这里抢劫，林轩还曾以为此人是不是太穷困潦倒，结果相反。
By Foundation Establishment stage standards, this person was considered rich.
guāng shì gè shǔ xìng jīng shí jiù yǒu shàng qiān kuài ， yī dié fú ， dān yào shù kē ， yǐ jīng yī bù cuò de líng qì ， jiù shì nà bǐng wēi lì qiáng hàn de jù jiàn le 。
光是各属性晶石就有上千块，一叠符，丹药数颗，已经一不错的灵器，就是那柄威力强悍的巨剑了。
Most cultivators had only dozens or even hundreds of crystal stones; Lin Xuan was more extravagant but he was in a special situation—selling waste pills last time brought him quite a bit.
yǐ zhù jī qī xiū shì de biāo zhǔn lái shuō ， cǐ rén yě suàn fù yǒu 。
以筑基期修士的标准来说，此人也算富有。
But no one would complain about having too many crystal stones. As his cultivation level increased, expenses would grow like a river.
"Hey, you guys, what are you waiting for? Do you want me to make the first move?" The black clouds churned, and a powerful aura of spiritual energy radiated out, enveloping three cultivators in front.
Facing the pressure from a Foundation Establishment stage expert, a drop of sweat fell from Zhang Tao's forehead. However, he and his two companions exchanged glances without yielding.
They were all at the peak of the Flexible Spirit Period, and they might have a chance if they went all out. They couldn't bear to let their hard-earned crystal stones and treasures fall into someone else's hands so easily.
Unlike other cultivators with ulterior motives, these three had grown up together since childhood. Though not brothers by blood, they were like brothers in every way, ready to stand together.
Sizzle...
Black lightning bolts shot out from the clouds as the demon cultivator's patience was at its end. Zhang Tao gritted his teeth and made the first move before the other side could act.
He activated a spiritual artifact that looked like a flying knife.
"Die!"
A cold laugh echoed from within the black clouds, and countless tiny lightning bolts coalesced into a thick bolt of lightning, striking down.
Thunderbolt Spell—this high-grade spell was known for its offensive power!
Just as the lightning was about to hit Zhang Tao, a yellow umbrella flew out diagonally from his side. It was a defensive spiritual artifact wielded by a smiling fat man whose strength shouldn't be underestimated.
At the same time, Zhang Tao's other companion also made a move. His spiritual artifact was a golden brick that grew as large as a house when infused with spiritual energy.
Two attacked while one defended; these three peak Flexible Spirit cultivators worked well together.
The black clouds roared continuously, and bloodstains began to appear amidst the swirling dark mists.
Boom!
The demon cultivator also activated his spiritual artifact. It was an enormous sword over three meters long.
Suddenly, the sky was shrouded in various strange lights...
