miàn duì pū tiān gài dì de gōng jī ， kōng huì liǎn shàng què méi yǒu fēn háo wèi jù ， zhǐ yǒu dī chén de sòng jīng shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ 。
面对铺天盖地的攻击，空晦脸上却没有分毫畏惧，只有低沉的诵经声传入耳里。
Faced with the overwhelming attacks, Kong Hui's expression remained calm. Only a low chant could be heard.
tā tóu dǐng fó guāng suǒ xíng chéng de guāng mù ， què piāo hū bù dìng qǐ lái le 。
他头顶佛光所形成的光幕，却飘忽不定起来了。
The light screen formed by the Buddha light above his head began to fluctuate uncertainly.
pū pū pū …… yǒu xiē chén mèn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà qiān wàn dào ràng rén xīn jì de hán máng què méi yǒu bàn fēn xiào guǒ ， jī yuè rú qiào liǎn biàn sè ， rán ér hái bù děng tā yǒu duō yú de dòng zuò ， qī lì de shòu hǒu shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
噗噗噗……有些沉闷的声音传入耳朵，那千万道让人心悸的寒芒却没有半分效果，姬月如俏脸变色，然而还不等她有多余的动作，凄厉的兽吼声传入耳朵。
Puff... Puff... Some muffled sounds entered his ears, but those countless chilling rays of light had no effect at all. Ji Yueyu’s pretty face turned pale as she tried to think of a move. However, before she could do anything, a mournful beast howl reached her ears.
zhǐ jiàn kōng huì xiù páo yī fú ， yǐ jì chū yī lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de bǎo zhū 。
只见空晦袖袍一拂，已祭出一龙眼大小的宝珠。
Kong Hui flicked his sleeve and revealed a gem the size of a dragon's eye.
hǒu jiào shēng jiù shì cóng lǐ miàn chū 。
吼叫声就是从里面出。
The howling came from inside it.
zhè shì shén me bǎo wù ？ zuò wèi yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě ， jī yuè rú jiàn shí yě hěn guǎng bó ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， què bàn diǎn tóu xù yě wú 。
这是什么宝物？做为元婴后期的大修仙者，姬月如见识也很广博，然而此时此刻，却半点头绪也无。
What kind of treasure was this? As an advanced cultivator at the Core Formation stage, Ji Yueyu had seen many things. But right now, she couldn’t think of anything.
pēng ！ nà bǎo zhū dī liū liū yī zhuǎn zhī hòu ， jìng rán bào liè kāi lái 。
嘭！那宝珠滴溜溜一转之后，竟然爆裂开来。
Bang! The gem spun around before exploding.
yī tuán méng méng de bái guāng cóng lǐ miàn fēi lüè ér chū ， yī zhèn shǎn shuò ， níng jù huà xíng ， suí hòu jìng rán biàn chéng le yī bèi shēng shuāng chì de měng hǔ 。
一团蒙蒙的白光从里面飞掠而出，一阵闪烁，凝聚化形，随后竟然变成了一背生双翅的猛虎。
A faint white light shot out and flickered into a fierce tiger with two wings on its back.
suī rán xīn zhōng jīng è ， dàn jī yuè rú shǒu shàng yě bú huì xián zhe ， máng zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yī zhāng qī hēi rú mò de fú lù bèi tā qǔ le chū lái ， jiā zài shí zhǐ mǔ zhǐ zhī jiān ， cǐ nǚ yī kǒu jīng xuè pēn zài shàng miàn 。
虽然心中惊愕，但姬月如手上也不会闲着，忙在腰间一拍，一张漆黑如墨的符箓被她取了出来，夹在食指拇指之间，此女一口精血喷在上面。
Though surprised, Ji Yueyu didn’t waste any time. She quickly took out a black talisman from her waist, pinched it between her thumb and index finger, and spat some of her blood onto it.
cǐ fú wú fēng zì rán ， zài nà fú zhǐ biǎo miàn ， huà zhe yī zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo de dú jiāo ， zài huǒ guāng zhōng ruò yǐn ruò xiàn ， fǎng fú yǒu shēng mìng yì bān 。
此符无风自燃，在那符纸表面，画着一张牙舞爪的毒蛟，在火光中若隐若现，仿佛有生命一般。
This talisman burned without wind. On the surface of the paper was an image of a venomous snake with fangs bared, flickering in the flames as if alive.
“ jí ！” jī yuè rú yù shǒu xiàng qián diǎn qù ， nà huǒ yàn měng rán bào zhǎng qǐ lái ， yī duǒ huǒ yún fú xiàn ， zhí jìng zú yǒu shí yú zhàng fāng yuán ， huǒ guāng zhōng ， yī dú jiāo zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo ， gù pàn zhī jiān ， chōng mǎn le zhēng níng zhī yì 。
“疾！”姬月如玉手向前点去，那火焰猛然暴涨起来，一朵火云浮现，直径足有十余丈方圆，火光中，一毒蛟张牙舞爪，顾盼之间，充满了狰狞之意。
"Quickly!" Ji Yueyu pointed at the flame. The fire suddenly grew larger, forming a fiery cloud over ten feet wide. In the light, a venomous snake with sharp teeth and claws writhed, filled with ferocity.
“ hēng ， shòu fú ， ér qiě lǐ miàn fēng yìn de yāo hún hái shì huà xíng qī de ， méi xiǎng dào yuè rú xiān zi hái yǒu rú cǐ bǎo wù ， bù guò nǐ yě zhēn shě de 。”
“哼，兽符，而且里面封印的妖魂还是化形期的，没想到月如仙子还有如此宝物，不过你也真舍得。”
"Hmph, beast talisman. And the demon soul sealed inside is of the Formed Core stage. I didn’t expect such a treasure from Fairy Ji Yueyu. But you really are willing to give it up."
kōng huì lěng mò de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ kě xī táng bì dāng chē ， zhēng zhá shì tú láo de 。”
空晦冷漠的声音传入耳朵：“可惜螳臂当车，挣扎是徒劳的。”
Kong Hui’s cold voice echoed in her ears: "Too bad your efforts are futile."
huà yīn wèi luò ， tā zuǒ shǒu huī wǔ ， yòu jiāng yī jiàn fǎ bǎo jì chū 。
话音未落，他左手挥舞，又将一件法宝祭出。
Before she could finish speaking, he waved his left hand and another magical artifact appeared.
shì yī jiè dāo xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù ， zài tóu dǐng lüè yī pán xuán fēi wǔ ， jiù huà wèi yī dào hēi sè de pǐ liàn xiàng duì shǒu zhǎn guò lái le 。
是一戒刀形状的宝物，在头顶略一盘旋飞舞，就化为一道黑色的匹练像对手斩过来了。
It was a ring-shaped object that flew around above his head before becoming a black streak that slashed at the opponent.
jī yuè rú zì rán bú huì shì ruò ， tán kǒu zhāng kāi ， pēn chū yī cùn xǔ zhǎng de xiǎo jiàn 。
姬月如自然不会示弱，檀口张开，喷出一寸许长的小剑。
Ji Yueyu didn’t show any weakness. She opened her mouth and spat out a small sword an inch long.
suí hòu cǐ bǎo yíng fēng yī huǎng ， yǐ zhòu rán bào zhǎng ， zhuǎn yǎn yǐ yǒu sān chǐ lái zhǎng ， tóng yàng huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng yíng xiàng qián fāng 。
随后此宝迎风一晃，已骤然暴涨，转眼已有三尺来长，同样化为一道惊虹迎向前方。
The sword grew larger as it met the wind, reaching three feet in length, and streaked forward with alarming speed.
“ zhēng ” de yī shēng qīng xiǎng ， jīng hóng yǔ pǐ liàn xiāng zhuàng ， líng guāng sì shè ， suí hòu nà xiān jiàn jū rán bèi zhǎn wèi liǎng bàn le 。
“铮”的一声轻响，惊虹与匹练相撞，灵光四射，随后那仙剑居然被斩为两半了。
With a sharp clink, the fiery streak clashed with the black streak. Sparkles of light flew everywhere, and eventually, Ji Yueyu’s magical sword was split into two halves.
“ bù kě néng ！” jī yuè rú yòu jīng yòu nù ， cǐ wù suī rán bú shì tā de běn mìng bǎo wù ， dàn wēi néng yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， jū rán rú cǐ qīng yì jiù bèi huǐ diào le 。
“不可能！”姬月如又惊又怒，此物虽然不是她的本命宝物，但威能也非同小可，居然如此轻易就被毁掉了。
"Impossible!" Ji Yueyu was both shocked and angry. Though not her main treasure, this item still had formidable power, yet it was easily destroyed.
suī rán kōng huì shēng míng yuǎn bō ， dàn yě wàn wàn méi xiǎng dào huì lì hài dào rú cǐ chéng dù 。
虽然空晦声名远播，但也万万没想到会厉害到如此程度。
Kong Hui’s reputation was well-known, but he was far more powerful than she expected.
rán ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì kāi shǐ ， sú huà shuō ， fú wú shuāng zhì ， huò bù dān xíng ， yuán běn jī yuè rú suǒ jì chū de shòu fú ， yǐ jīng shì liǎo bù qǐ de bǎo wù ， bì jìng nà dú jiāo shēng qián kě shì huà xíng qī de 。
然而这仅仅是开始，俗话说，福无双至，祸不单行，原本姬月如所祭出的兽符，已经是了不起的宝物，毕竟那毒蛟生前可是化形期的。
However, this was only the beginning. As the saying goes, good fortune never comes in a single day, and misfortune never strikes twice. The beast talisman Ji Yueyu had just used was already an impressive treasure, as that venomous snake had once been of the Formed Core stage.
rán ér miàn duì bèi shēng shuāng chì de guài hǔ ， què wán quán chù zài xià fēng ， jǐn jǐn jǐ gè huí hé ， jiù bèi duì fāng kāi táng pò dù …… jī yuè rú de liǎn sè yuè yīn chén le ， shuāng shǒu zài yāo jiān lián pāi ， yòu shì jǐ jiàn gǔ bǎo bèi tā jì le qǐ lái ， kě xī méi yǒu sī háo xiào guǒ ， dāo qiāng jiàn jǐ zàn qiě bù shuō ， jiù suàn shì zhuān mén fáng yù yòng de bǎo wù ， yě dǎng bù xià nà jiè dāo yí gè huí hé 。
然而面对背生双翅的怪虎，却完全处在下风，仅仅几个回合，就被对方开膛破肚……姬月如的脸色越阴沉了，双手在腰间连拍，又是几件古宝被她祭了起来，可惜没有丝毫效果，刀枪剑戟暂且不说，就算是专门防御用的宝物，也挡不下那戒刀一个回合。
But facing the fierce tiger with two wings, she was completely on the defensive. In just a few rounds, it tore open her abdomen... Ji Yueyu’s face grew even more grim. She kept tapping her waist and summoned several ancient treasures, but they failed to stop that ring-shaped sword in one strike.
yī shēng lìng rén zhàn lì de dà hǒu chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà guài wù zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， líng máng yào mù ， pēn chū le yī dào guāng bō 。
一声令人战栗的大吼传入耳朵，那怪物张开血盆大口，灵芒耀目，喷出了一道光波。
A terrifying roar echoed through the air as the monster opened its blood-stained maw, emitting a beam of light.
shí jī jiǎo dù dōu ná niē dé qià dào hǎo chù ， jī yuè rú duǒ wú kě duǒ 。
时机角度都拿捏得恰到好处，姬月如躲无可躲。
The timing was perfect; there was no way for Ji Yueyu to dodge it. At the same time, the black streak slashed from another direction.
tóng shí jiè dāo suǒ huà pǐ liàn yě cóng lìng yí gè fāng xiàng zhǎn guò lái le 。
同时戒刀所化匹练也从另一个方向斩过来了。
Both at the Core Formation stage, but after just a few exchanges, Fairy Ji Yueyu found herself cornered. Kong Hui’s power could be imagined.
tóng wèi yuán yīng hòu qī ， rán ér liǎng rén jiāo shǒu bù guò jǐ gè zhào miàn ér yǐ ， yuè rú xiān zi jiù bèi bī dào le jué dì ， zhè kōng huì de fǎ lì kě xiǎng ér zhī 。
同为元婴后期，然而两人交手不过几个照面而已，月如仙子就被逼到了绝地，这空晦的法力可想而知。
"Senior Sister!" A cry echoed as a green-robed girl appeared over a hundred feet away, her face full of anxiety and worry. She was undoubtedly another Core Formation elder from the Heavenly Sea Pavilion.
“ shī jiě ！” yī shēng jīng hū chuán rù ěr duǒ ， bǎi yú zhàng yuǎn chù ， yī míng shēn chuān lǜ sè gōng zhuāng de shào nǚ liǎn shàng mǎn shì jiāo jí dān yōu zhī sè ， bú yòng shuō ， tā yě shì tiān yá hǎi gé de yuán yīng qī zhǎng lǎo le 。
“师姐！”一声惊呼传入耳朵，百余丈远处，一名身穿绿色宫装的少女脸上满是焦急担忧之色，不用说，她也是天涯海阁的元婴期长老了。
But she was currently entangled with an old man with a black face. Though not at a disadvantage, it would be impossible for her to help Ji Yueyu. Even if she could intervene, a mere Core Formation cultivator couldn’t stop Kong Hui’s divine power.
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā bèi yī hēi liǎn lǎo zhě chán zhù ， suī rán bù là xià fēng ， dàn xiǎng yào chū shǒu xiàng jiù yě shì chī rén shuō mèng 。
然而此时此刻，她被一黑脸老者缠住，虽然不落下风，但想要出手相救也是痴人说梦。
Ji Yueyu had no choice but to flee. The only way was for her core spirit to leave the body. But even with that, could she escape from Kong Hui?
hé kuàng jiù suàn néng gòu chū shǒu ， qū qū yī míng yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， yě huà jiě bù liǎo kōng huì de shén tōng 。
何况就算能够出手，区区一名元婴中期的修仙者，也化解不了空晦的神通。
Faced with this dilemma, Ji Yueyu seemed trapped in a desperate situation. Suddenly, a streak of green light appeared, and a pair of green hands materialized, grabbing her waist and pulling her back.
jī yuè rú duǒ wú kě duǒ ， rú guǒ bù xiǎng yǔn luò ， yuán yīng chū qiào shì wéi yī de xuǎn zé ， kě jiǎ rú zhēn de jiāng ròu shēn shě qì diào le ， qū qū yí gè yuán yīng shì fǒu yòu néng cóng duì fāng de shǒu lǐ táo tuō 。
姬月如躲无可躲，如果不想陨落，元婴出窍是唯一的选择，可假如真的将肉身舍弃掉了，区区一个元婴是否又能从对方的手里逃脱。
The timing was impeccable, as if it had happened naturally.
jī yuè rú miàn lín liǎng nán xuǎn zé ， shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù sì hū yǐ jīng xiàn rù jué jìng lǐ le ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yī dào qīng máng hòu xiān zhì ， líng máng yào mù ， yī zhī qīng sè dà shǒu píng kōng fú xiàn ér chū ， yī bǎ jiāng jī yuè rú de xiān yāo wò zhù ， jiāng tā wǎng hòu yī tuō 。
姬月如面临两难选择，事情到了这一步似乎已经陷入绝境里了，然而就在这时，一道青芒后先至，灵芒耀目，一只青色大手凭空浮现而出，一把将姬月如的纤腰握住，将她往后一拖。
Kong Hui was momentarily stunned by the sudden turn of events. Ji Yueyu’s escape brought an expression of joy to her face.
shí jī ná niē zhī miào ， gèng fǎng fú hún rán tiān chéng yī yàng 。
时机拿捏之妙，更仿佛浑然天成一样。
After helping Ji Yueyu escape, the green hand turned into a tiny light point that dissipated into thin air.
biàn qǐ cāng cù ， kōng huì bù yóu de yī dāi ， jī yuè rú sǐ lǐ táo shēng ， gèng lù chū dà xǐ guò wàng de biǎo qíng lái 。
变起仓促，空晦不由得一呆，姬月如死里逃生，更露出大喜过望的表情来。
"Which one of you, hiding in the shadows, dares to break my spell without showing your face?" Kong Hui roared. He no longer had any trace of a high monk’s demeanor. Frustrated at being interrupted, he was filled with anger and disappointment.
nà qīng sè dà shǒu zhù tā tuō xiǎn yǐ hòu ， biàn huà wèi mǔ zhǐ dà xiǎo de guāng diǎn ， xiāo sàn zài le kōng qì lǐ miàn 。
那青色大手助她脱险以后，便化为拇指大小的光点，消散在了空气里面。
Though furious, as the head of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect who lived for nearly eight hundred years, he didn’t lose his composure. He quietly released his divine sense to search around, growing more cautious. This was strange; someone had hidden nearby, yet even with his abilities, no abnormalities were detected. Could it be that this person practiced some special concealment techniques? He needed to be careful and avoid being ambushed.
“ nǎ ge jiā huo ， guǐ guǐ suì suì de ， gǎn pò qù běn zūn de fǎ shù ， què bù gǎn chū lái jiàn rén me ？” kōng huì chēng mù dà hē ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā bàn diǎn dé dào gāo sēng de fēng fàn yě wú ， yǎn kàn jiù yào miè shā diào duì shǒu ， què bèi rén cóng páng zǔ lán ， xīn zhōng zì rán shì chōng mǎn le yù mèn yǔ ào nǎo 。
“哪个家伙，鬼鬼祟祟的，敢破去本尊的法术，却不敢出来见人么？”空晦瞠目大喝，此时此刻，他半点得道高僧的风范也无，眼看就要灭杀掉对手，却被人从旁阻拦，心中自然是充满了郁闷与懊恼。
"Hmph, the head of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, your divine power is nothing but a pretense. You dare to act so boldly on our island?"
suī rán xīn zhōng bào nù ， dàn zuò wèi wàn fú zōng yī pài zhī zhǔ ， huó le jìn bā bǎi nián de lǎo guài wù ， zì rán yě bú huì yīn cǐ jiù mí shī diào lǐ zhì de 。
虽然心中暴怒，但做为万佛宗一派之主，活了近八百年的老怪物，自然也不会因此就迷失掉理智的。
Before he could finish speaking, green light flashed over a hundred feet away as an ordinary-looking youth appeared. His movements were swift, and soon he was standing before Kong Hui.
tā yī jiù qiǎo rán jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， zài fù jìn sōu suǒ ， xīn zhōng yě dà qǐ jiè jù zhī sè ， cǐ shì zhēn yǒu xiē qí guài le ， nà rén duǒ zài yī páng ， yǐ zì jǐ zhī néng jū rán dōu méi yǒu xiàn yì cháng ， nán dào cǐ rén xiū liàn yǒu yǐn nì de tè shū shén tōng ， zhè kě yào xiǎo xīn yìng fù ， bié bèi tā tōu xí le cái hǎo 。
他依旧悄然将神识放出，在附近搜索，心中也大起戒惧之色，此事真有些奇怪了，那人躲在一旁，以自己之能居然都没有现异常，难道此人修炼有隐匿的特殊神通，这可要小心应付，别被他偷袭了才好。
"You, Lin Xiao?" "Senior Lin."
“ hēng ， táng táng wàn fú zōng zhǔ chí ， shén tōng yě bù guò rú cǐ ， gū míng diào yù ér yǐ ， yě gǎn lái wǒ yíng zhōu dǎo fàng sì 。”
“哼，堂堂万佛宗主持，神通也不过如此，沽名钓誉而已，也敢来我瀛洲岛放肆。”
Two cries echoed in his ears, but the emotions behind them were different. Kong Hui was both surprised and angry; how could he not recognize Lin Xuan? He was a target for elimination by their sect, and even though the warrant had yet to be lifted, Kong Xuan’s death at his hands was still fresh.
huà yīn wèi luò ， bǎi yú zhàng yuǎn chù qīng guāng yī shǎn ， yī róng mào pǔ tōng de shào nián píng kōng fú xiàn ， suí hòu zhǐ jiàn tā shēn xíng huàng dòng ， jǐ gè zhuǎn zhé ， jiù lái dào zì jǐ de miàn qián 。
话音未落，百余丈远处青光一闪，一容貌普通的少年凭空浮现，随后只见他身形晃动，几个转折，就来到自己的面前。
As for Ji Yueyu, she had only met Lin Xuan once before. She knew of his abilities.
“ shì nǐ ， xìng lín de xiǎo zi ？”“ lín qián bèi 。”
“是你，姓林的小子？”“林前辈。”
Seeing him appear here, Ji Yueyu felt a great weight lift from her heart.
liǎng shēng jīng hū chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhǐ shì lǐ miàn bāo hán de xīn qíng què jiǒng rán bù tóng 。
两声惊呼传入耳朵，只是里面包含的心情却迥然不同。
"You’ve already advanced; you’re now at the Core Formation stage?" Lin Xuan crossed his arms behind his back with a calm expression and smiled as he spoke, as if discussing something trivial: "Master, even if you surrender, I won’t let you go. But Heaven has mercy on living beings, so why don’t you take your own life?"
kōng huì shì yòu jīng yòu nù ， chǒu lòu de miàn róng shàng hái dài zhe jǐ fēn yì wài zhī sè ， lín xuān tā qǐ huì rèn bù chū ， běn zōng yù chú zhī ér hòu kuài de rén wù ， kōng xuàn shī dì jiù shì sǐ zài tā de shǒu zhōng ， zhuī shā lìng dào xiàn zài dōu hái méi yǒu chè chú 。
空晦是又惊又怒，丑陋的面容上还带着几分意外之色，林轩他岂会认不出，本宗欲除之而后快的人物，空眩师弟就是死在他的手中，追杀令到现在都还没有撤除。
～～
zhì yú jī yuè rú ， zé shì yǔ lín xuān yǒu guò yí miàn zhī yuán de ， duì yú tā shén tōng rú hé ， zé xīn lǐ yǒu shù 。
至于姬月如，则是与林轩有过一面之缘的，对于他神通如何，则心里有数。

Faced with the overwhelming attacks, Kong Hui's expression remained calm. Only a low chant could be heard.
The light screen formed by the Buddha light above his head began to fluctuate uncertainly.
