xīn yuè zhè huà bìng méi yǒu bié de yì tú ， rán ér zuò wèi è míng yuǎn bō de líng jiè sì xiōng zhī yī ， táo wù de xìng gé bào nüè yǐ jí ， zhè yàng de wēi xié ， duì xī ér yán ， zhǐ huì shì dé qí fǎn 。()
新月这话并没有别的意图，然而做为恶名远播的灵界四凶之一，梼杌的性格暴虐以极，这样的威胁，对牺而言，只会适得其反。()
New Moon's words carried no hidden agenda. However, as one of the Four Evils known throughout the Spirit Realm, Tiaomu's character was notoriously brutal. This threat only made things worse for Xi.
bù jǐn méi yǒu fēn háo wèi jù ， nà chǒu lòu de miàn róng shàng ， fǎn ér shǎn guò yī sī zhēng níng zhī yì 。
不仅没有分毫畏惧，那丑陋的面容上，反而闪过一丝狰狞之意。
Not only did he show no fear, but a twisted expression flashed across his ugly face. He raised his head and let out an ear-splitting roar!
yáng qǐ tóu ， fā chū zhèn tiān de nù hǒu ！
扬起头，发出震天的怒吼！
His voice was strange, somewhat like that of a tiger, the king of beasts, and reminiscent of the legendary dragon's breath.
tā de jiào shēng gǔ guài yǐ jí ， yǒu diǎn xiàng bǎi shòu zhī wáng de lǎo hǔ ， yǔ chuán shuō zhōng de lóng yín yě yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì 。
他的叫声古怪以极，有点像百兽之王的老虎，与传说中的龙吟也有几分相似。
The wind stirred!
fēng qǐ ！
风起！
Around him, the fundamental energy of heaven and earth began to converge towards Tiaomu, compressing and fusing into a round ball about a yard in diameter. Lin Xuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes; even he could feel a hint of fear from the spiritual power contained within this sphere.
zhōu wéi de tiān dì yuán qì ， měng rán cháo zhe táo wù huì jù ér qù ， yā suō ， róng hé ， yí gè zhí jìng zhàng xǔ de yuán qiú chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
周围的天地元气，猛然朝着梼杌汇聚而去，压缩，融合，一个直径丈许的圆球出现在了视线里。
In terms of controlling fundamental energy, his proficiency was far inferior to that of Tiaomu. No wonder he was one of the upper realm's fierce beasts.
lín xuān yě bù yóu de tóng kǒng wēi suō ， zhè yuán qiú zhōng suǒ bāo hán de líng lì ， lián tā ， yě gǎn jué dào le yī sī wèi jù 。
林轩也不由得瞳孔微缩，这圆球中所包含的灵力，连他，也感觉到了一丝畏惧。
Princess New Moon was equally alarmed and angry. Although her lips remained unscathed, a trace of fear flickered in her eyes.
duì yú tiān dì yuán qì de cāo kòng ， jiù shú liàn chéng dù ér yán ， zì jǐ yuǎn bù jí zhè táo wù ， bù kuì shì shàng jiè xiōng shòu zhī yī 。
对于天地元气的操控，就熟练程度而言，自己远不及这梼杌，不愧是上界凶兽之一。
But at this point, it was impossible for her to sit idly by; she was too stubborn. A determined look flashed across her eyes as she waved her jade hand, casting out one after another spell.
xīn yuè gōng zhǔ tóng yàng yòu jīng yòu nù ， zuǐ bā shàng suī rán bù qīng shuō ， dàn móu dǐ shēn chù ， yǐn yǐn yǐ shǎn guò yī sī wèi jù zhī sè 。
新月公主同样又惊又怒，嘴巴上虽然不青说，但眸底深处，隐隐已闪过一丝畏惧之色。
A fragrant aroma wafted through the air. The flower basket tipped over, and a dazzling array of five-colored spiritual light burst forth from within.
dàn shì qíng fā zhǎn dào zhè yī bù ， yǐ shì chéng qí hǔ ， yào xiǎng ràng tā zuò yǐ dài bì ， nà shì jué bù kě néng de 。
但事情发展到这一步，已势成骑虎，要想让她坐以待毙，那是绝不可能的。
Tiaomu ignored it. Despite New Moon's many divine swords, none were useful to Xi. Struggling was futile.
cǐ nǚ xìng gé gù rán diāo mán le xiē ， dàn tóng shí ， yě jué jiàng yǐ jí 。
此女性格固然刁蛮了些，但同时，也倔强以极。
Sure enough, whizzing sounds filled his ears as more than a hundred divine swords shot out from the flower basket.
tā de yǎn zhōng ， shǎn guò yī sī jué rán zhī yì 。
她的眼中，闪过一丝决然之意。
But New Moon wasn't done yet. With her lips slightly parted, she recited a mystical and ancient incantation. The intricate hand seals she formed were incredibly ingenious.
yù shǒu yī fú ， yī dào yī dào de fǎ jué dǎ chū 。
玉手一拂，一道一道的法诀打出。
Spiritual light radiated around her, with deep and arcane runes appearing before her.
yì xiāng pū bí ， nà huā lán xiàng xià qīng fù ， yī tuán yào mù de wǔ sè líng guāng cóng lǐ miàn zhàn fàng ér chū 。
异香扑鼻，那huā篮向下倾覆，一团耀目的五色灵光从里面绽放而出。
"Go..."
táo wù què shì ruò wú dǔ ， duì fāng liàn zhì de xiān jiàn suī duō ， duì xī què méi yǒu yòng tú ， zhēng zhá shì tú láo de 。
梼杌却视若无睹，对方炼制的仙剑虽多，对牺却没有用途，挣扎是徒劳的。
New Moon pointed at those runes, which flashed and merged into the hundred divine swords in front of her.
guǒ rán ， sōu sōu sōu de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， bù chū suǒ liào ， cóng nà huā lán lǐ miàn ， jī è shè chū bǎi yú bǎ xiān jiàn 。
果然，嗖嗖嗖的声音传入耳朵，不出所料，从那huā篮里面，激垩射出百余把仙剑。
As New Moon continued to chant, the divine swords began an incredible transformation under her spell.
rán ér xīn yuè de dòng zuò hái méi yǒu wán ” yīng chún wēi qǐ ， cóng zuǐ zhōng tǔ chū xuán miào ér gǔ piáo de zhòu yǔ ， shǒu shàng suǒ niē de fǎ yìn ， gèng shì shén miào yǐ jí 。
然而新月的动作还没有完”樱唇微启，从嘴中吐出玄妙而古朴的咒语，手上所捏的法印，更是神妙以极。
"Impossible!"
líng guāng sì shè ， yí gè gè shēn ào de fú wén zài tā shēn qián fú xiàn ér chū 。
灵光四射，一个个深奥的符文在她身前浮现而出。
Lin Xuan had seen similar scenes before, but they were conjured by New Moon's magical power. The technique, known as Shape Transformation, wasn't out of the ordinary. But what he saw now...
“ qù ……”
“去……”
His eyes widened in disbelief. Such a scenario was impossible for human cultivators.
xīn yuè yì diǎn zhǐ ， nà xiē fú wén yī shǎn ， fēn bié róng rù le tā shēn qián nà bǎi yú bǎ xiān jiàn 。
新月一点指，那些符文一闪，分别融入了她身前那百余把仙剑。
Could it be that the techniques and secrets of the Spirit Realm were so miraculous?
suí hòu xīn yuè niàn niàn yǒu cí ” suí zhe tā fǎ jué de qū shǐ ， nà xiē xiān jiàn guāng huá wàn qiān ， fā shēng le bù kě sī yì de zhuǎn biàn 。
随后新月念念有词”随着她法诀的驱使，那些仙剑光华万千，发生了不可思议的转变。
Indeed, Lin Xuan was astonished because those divine swords had transformed into vibrant flowers.
“ bù kě néng ！”
“不可能！”
They competed in beauty, dazzling to the extreme.
lèi sì de qíng jǐng lín xuān céng jīng jiàn guò ， dàn nà shì xīn yuè yòng fǎ lì biàn huà chū lái de ， huà xíng zhī shù ， bìng bù suàn lí pǔ ， kě yǎn qián ……
类似的情景林轩曾经见过，但那是新月用法力变化出来的，化形之术，并不算离谱，可眼前……
But how could this happen? Divine swords were already formed treasures. This wasn't some illusion or trick.
lín xuān dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， yīn wèi tā kàn jiàn le bù néng zhì xìn de yí mù ， zhì shǎo jiù rén jiè xiū shì lái shuō ， zhè yàng de qíng kuàng jué bù kě néng fā shēng de 。
林轩瞪大了眼珠，因为他看见了不能置信的一幕，至少就人界修士来说，这样的情况绝不可能发生的。
They had turned into fresh flowers.
líng jiè de shén tōng mì shù ， jū rán rú cǐ shén qí me ？
灵界的神通秘术，居然如此神奇么？
Though countless strange and talented individuals roamed the cultivation world, anything was possible. But what Lin Xuan saw now left him spellbound with admiration for the wondrous techniques of the Spirit Realm.
yě nán guài lín xuān jīng è ， yīn wèi nà bǎi yú bǎ xiān jiàn ， jū rán biàn chéng le yī duǒ duǒ nù fàng shèng kāi de xiān huā。
也难怪林轩惊愕，因为那百余把仙剑，居然变成了一朵朵怒放盛开的鲜huā。
Tiaomu's eyes widened as well, not out of amazement at New Moon's magical prowess but for another reason.
zhēng qí dòu yàn ， xuàn mù dào le jí diǎn 。
争奇斗艳，炫目到了极点。
"Flower Fragrance Hundred Flowers Array, a divine flower maiden from the Spirit Realm—what is your relation to her?"
dàn zhè zěn me kě néng ne ， xiān jiàn nǎi shì yǐ jīng chéng xíng de bǎo wù ， ér yǎn qián yě jué bú shì shén me zhàng yǎn fǎ zhī lèi de huàn shù 。
但这怎么可能呢，仙剑乃是已经成型的宝物，而眼前也绝不是什么障眼法之类的幻术。
"Hmph. She is my teacher. Are you afraid?" Princess New Moon's eyes darted. Although she was stubborn and not stupid, she hoped to use her teacher’s name to negotiate with Tiaomu.
jū rán biàn chéng le xiān huā。
居然变成了鲜huā。
Unfortunately for her, this only backfired. When Tiaomu heard the news, he showed no fear but instead exuded a fierce aura, his eyes turning blood red.
suī shuō xiū xiān jiè qí rén yì shì wú shù ” shén me shì qíng dōu yǒu kě néng fā shēng de ， dàn yǎn qián de yí mù ， hái shì ràng lín xuān dà bǎo yǎn fú ， yǒu yī zhǒng tàn wéi guān zhǐ de gǎn jué 。
虽说修仙界奇人异士无数”什么事情都有可能发生的，但眼前的一幕，还是让林轩大饱眼福，有一种叹为观止的感觉。
His shrill roar echoed for miles as the clouds in the sky were scattered.
duì yú shén miào de líng jiè fǎ shù ， gèng zǒu dào le xīn xiàng wǎng zhī de dì bù 。
对于神妙的灵界法术，更走到了心向往之的地步。
"Fear is laughable..."
táo wù yě dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， dào bú shì chī jīng xīn yuè fǎ shù shén miào de yuán gù ， ér shì bié yǒu yīn yóu de 。
梼杌也瞪大了眼珠，倒不是吃惊新月法术神妙的缘故，而是别有因由的。
"Even the pursuit by Father King Mí doesn't faze me. Originally, there was only minor grudges between us, and I didn’t necessarily have to kill him. But Mí’s teacher, the Hundred Flowers Maiden, has a deep-seated enmity with me. I can't harm that wench, so since Mí is her disciple..."
“ bǎi huā piāo xiāng zhèn ， líng jiè de bǎi huā xiān zi ， shì nǐ shén me rén ……”
“百huā飘香阵，灵界的百huā仙子，是你什么人……”
Before she could finish, Princess New Moon's face turned pale in shock. She had hoped to use her teacher’s name but ended up making things worse.
“ hēng ， shì běn xiān zi de shī fù ， zěn me ， nǐ shì bú shì pà le ……” xīn yuè xiān zi yǎn zhū yī zhuǎn ， cǐ nǚ suī rán diāo mán ， dàn bìng bù shǎ ， rú guǒ néng jiè zhe shī fù de míng tóu ， yǔ táo wù bà shǒu ” nà zì rán shì zài hǎo bù guò ， kě xī tā zhè me xiǎng ” bù guò shì shē wàng bà le 。
“哼，是本仙子的师父，怎么，你是不是怕了……”新月仙子眼珠一转，此女虽然刁蛮，但并不傻，如果能借着师父的名头，与梼杌罢手”那自然是再好不过，可惜她这么想”不过是奢望罢了。
Tiaomu and his teacher were enemies—something New Moon didn’t know.
táo wù tīng le ， liǎn shàng bù jǐn méi yǒu fēn háo wèi jù zhī sè ， fǎn ér yī gǔ xiōng lì zhī qì pēn yǒng ér chū ， dèng dà le yǎn móu ， shuāng mù quán bù biàn chéng le xuè hóng zhī sè 。
梼杌听了，脸上不仅没有分毫畏惧之色，反而一股凶厉之气喷涌而出，瞪大了眼眸，双目全部变成了血红之色。
But it was too late now; after several changes of expression, she finally calmed down. Although frightened, she couldn't lose face.
qī lì de sī hǒu ， shēng wén shù lǐ ， tiān kōng zhōng de yún cǎi ， quán bù bèi chuī sàn le qù 。
凄厉的嘶吼，声闻数里，天空中的云彩，全部被吹散了去。
She sneered in response: "Words are meaningless. You must first destroy my Hundred Flowers Fragrance Array before you can kill me..."
“ pà ， xiào huà ……”
“怕，笑话……”
Before her words could fully form, New Moon cast a spell at the flowers. The floral light flashed and shattered into countless pieces, scattering colorful petals across the sky.
“ lián mí fù wáng de zhuī shā ， wǒ yě bù fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， yuán běn yǔ tā zhī jiān ， yě bù guò shì yī xiē xiǎo ēn xiǎo yuàn ， dào yě bù yí dìng fēi yào jiāng mí miè shā ， kě mí nà shī fù bǎi huā xiān zi ， què yǔ wǒ yǒu xuè hǎi shēn chóu ， wǒ nài hé bù liǎo nà jiàn bì ， mí jì rán shì tā de tú dì ……”
“连弥父王的追杀，我也不放在眼里，原本与他之间，也不过是一些小恩小怨，倒也不一定非要将弥灭杀，可弥那师父百huā仙子，却与我有血海深仇，我奈何不了那贱婢，弥既然是她的徒弟……”
They looked beautiful, but beauty often concealed deadly poisons. Lin Xuan had experienced this technique before; now he watched to see how Xi would handle it.
huà yīn wèi luò ， xīn yuè gōng zhǔ jiù liǎn sè kuáng biàn le ， yuán běn xiǎng yào jiè shī fù de míng tóu ， méi xiǎng dào nòng qiǎo chéng zhuō ， zuì hòu biàn chéng le zhè zhǒng jié guǒ 。
话音未落，新月公主就脸色狂变了，原本想要借师父的名头，没想到弄巧成拙，最后变成了这种结果。
Tiaomu paid no heed, his shrill voice echoing: "Idiot, I am naturally immune to all hundred flowers' toxins. Mí's actions are merely a show of incompetence."
táo wù yǔ shī fù yǒu chóu ” zhè yì diǎn tā què rán bù qīng chǔ 。
梼杌与师父有仇”这一点她确然不清楚。
His words were not empty threats. The poison from the Hundred Flowers Fragrance Array was lethal upon contact, yet Tiaomu remained unscathed.
dàn xiàn zài shuō shén me dōu yǐ jīng wǎn le ， xīn yuè de liǎn sè zài biàn huàn shù cì yǐ hòu ， zhōng yú zhèn dìng xià lái le ， suī rán yǒu diǎn hài pà ， dàn qì shì shàng què bù néng shū a 。
但现在说什么都已经晚了，新月的脸色在变幻数次以后，终于镇定下来了，虽然有点害怕，但气势上却不能输啊。
New Moon’s eyes widened in shock. However, the Hundred Flowers Fragrance Array had more power than just that. She extended her jade hand and pointed forward with deceptive slowness.
tā lěng xiào zhe huí dá ：“ chěng kǒu shé zhī lì yǒu shén me yòng chǔ ， xiǎng yào shā wǒ ， xiān pò le běn xiān zi de bǎi huā piāo xiāng zhèn zài shuō ……”
她冷笑着回答：“逞口舌之利有什么用处，想要杀我，先破了本仙子的百huā飘香阵再说……”
The petals gathered together, swirling rapidly into a vortex of flowers. The diameter was over a yard, though its impact wasn't as shocking as expected. But those petals were sharp enough to be terrifying.
huà yīn wèi luò ， xīn yuè yī dào fǎ jué chōng shēn qián de xiān huā dǎ chū ， nà xiē huā líng guāng yī shǎn ， suì liè chéng le yī piàn yī piàn ， màn tiān dōu shì wǔ yán liù sè de huā bàn 。
话音未落，新月一道法诀冲身前的鲜huā打出，那些huā灵光一闪，碎裂成了一片一片，漫天都是五颜六色的huā瓣。
Tiaomu's two treasures, which he had used in the battle, were easily cut by these seemingly delicate petals upon contact with the vortex and fell from the sky as ordinary iron.
kàn shàng qù měi lì yǐ jí ， tiān kōng zhōng gèng piāo sàn zhe qìn rén xīn pí de xiāng qì 。
看上去美丽以极，天空中更飘散着沁人心脾的香气。
Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed; his extensive combat experience allowed him to recognize that both items were not mundane. Their easy destruction highlighted the Hundred Flowers Fragrance Array's formidable nature—someone like him would find it difficult to break through even if he was caught in it.
rán ér měi lì de shì wù wǎng wǎng hán yǒu jù dú ， zhè zhāo shù ， lín xuān zǎo jiù lǐng jiào guò ， xiàn zài jiù kàn chūn háng zěn me yìng fù 。
然而美丽的事物往往含有剧毒，这招数，林轩早就领教过，现在就看椿杭怎么应付。
But Tiaomu showed no fear whatsoever.
duì fāng jū rán shì ruò wú wù ， qī lì de sī hǒu shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ chǔn huò ， běn zūn tiān shēng jiù bù wèi bǎi dú ， mí zhè me zuò ， bù guò shì bān mén nòng fǔ 。”
对方居然视若无物，凄厉的嘶吼声传入耳朵：“蠢货，本尊天生就不畏百毒，弥这么做，不过是班门弄斧。”
The Four Evils of the Spirit Realm might be undesirable, but each beast was incredibly fierce.
xī zhè huà ， bìng fēi xū zhāng shēng shì lái zhe ， bǎi huā zhī dú ， zhān zhě lì bì ， rán ér táo wù shēn chù qí zhōng ， què yī sī yì sè yě wú 。
牺这话，并非虚张声势来着，百huā之毒，沾者立毙，然而梼杌身处其中，却一丝异色也无。
With a raised palm, Tiaomu pushed out the sphere of gathered fundamental energy.
xīn yuè hài rán shī sè ， dāng rán ， bǎi huā piāo xiāng zhèn de wēi lì ， bú huì jǐn yǒu zhè yì diǎn ér yǐ ， zhǐ jiàn tā shēn chū yù shǒu ， shì huǎn shí jí de xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
新月骇然失色，当然，百huā飘香阵的威力，不会仅有这一点而已，只见她伸出玉手，似缓实急的向前点去。
New Moon didn’t dare ignore this. Under her mental command, the flower vortex turned and met it in mid-air.
màn tiān de huā bàn ， dùn shí jù lǒng zài yì qǐ ， jí sù fēi wǔ ， yī huā bàn huì jù ér chéng de xuán fēng ， chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn zhōng 。
漫天的huā瓣，顿时聚拢在一起，急速飞舞，一huā瓣汇聚而成的旋风，出现在了视线中。
Boom!
zhí jìng zú yǒu zhàng xǔ ” shēng shì suī shuō bù shàng jīng rén yǐ jí ， dàn nà huā bàn ， què yǒu zhe lìng rén wèi jù de fēng lì 。
直径足有丈许”声势虽说不上惊人以极，但那huā瓣，却有着令人畏惧的锋利。
Their collision produced an unimaginably loud explosion that shook the earth and sky. The gale wind spread its effects over dozens of miles, leveling small hills, uprooting trees, and turning rocks to dust. The sky grew even more ominous.
táo wù gāng cái zài zhēng dòu zhōng suǒ jì chū de liǎng jiàn bǎo wù ， cái gāng yǔ xuán fēng xiāng chù ， jiù bèi nà kàn shì róu ruò de huā bàn ， qīng ér yì jǔ de gē duàn 。
梼杌刚才在争斗中所祭出的两件宝物，才刚与旋风相触，就被那看似柔弱的huā瓣，轻而易举的割断。
The sphere, though composed of fundamental energy, was incredibly powerful. The Hundred Flowers Fragrance Array was shattered but had achieved a decisive effect—though not completely destroyed.
New Moon's words carried no hidden agenda. However, as one of the Four Evils known throughout the Spirit Realm, Tiaomu's character was notoriously brutal. This threat only made things worse for Xi.
Not only did he show no fear, but a twisted expression flashed across his ugly face. He raised his head and let out an ear-splitting roar!
