“ nǐ men dōu bú yào lèng zhe ， gāng gāng nà xiū shì dé zuì le běn shǎo zhǔ ， jiāng qí shēng qín huó zhuō ， wǒ yào hǎo hǎo zhāo dài tā yī fān de 。”
“你们都不要愣着，刚刚那修士得罪了本少主，将其生擒活捉，我要好好招待他一番的。”
"None of you stand there dumbfounded. That cultivator just offended my young master, and I've caught him alive. I'm going to treat him properly."
wàn mèng háo de shēng yīn chōng mǎn le yuàn dú ， duì yú lín xuān de yī zài xì shuǎ tā zǎo yǐ jì hèn dào le jí chù 。
万孟豪的声音充满了怨毒，对于林轩的一再戏耍他早已忌恨到了极处。
Wan Menghao's voice was filled with venom as he had long harbored resentment towards Lin Xuan for repeatedly mocking him.
kě wù ！
可恶！
What a scoundrel!
dāng běn shǎo zhǔ shì shén me ？
当本少主是什么？
Who am I? A clown or a street performer?
zá shuǎ mài yì de xiǎo chǒu ？
杂耍卖艺的小丑？
I'll make you suffer, unable to live nor die peacefully.
wǒ yào ràng nǐ qiú shēng bù dé ， qiú sǐ bù néng de 。
我要让你求生不得，求死不能的。
I will extract your soul and torture it forever.
jiāng nǐ hún pò chōu chū ， zhì chéng hún dēng yǒng shòu zhé mó 。
将你魂魄抽出，制成魂灯永受折磨。
Wan Menghao gritted his teeth as he vowed fiercely. However, he soon realized something was wrong because the surrounding cultivators didn't move even after hearing his command.
wàn mèng háo yǎo yá qiè chǐ de fā hěn ， rán ér hěn kuài jiù fā xiàn le bú duì tóu ， yīn wèi zhōu wéi de xiū shì tīng le tā de mìng lìng jìng rán yī dòng bù dòng 。
万孟豪咬牙切齿的发狠，然而很快就发现了不对头，因为周围的修士听了他的命令竟然一动不动。
"What are you doing? Didn't you hear me? Do you want to report this to the old patriarch?" Wan Menghao couldn't help but become furious. He had already been insulted and now his subordinates were disobeying him as well.
“ nǐ men gàn shén me ， běn shǎo zhǔ de huà méi yǒu tīng jiàn me ， hái shì xiǎng yào wǒ bǐng gào lǎo zǔ ？” wàn mèng háo bù yóu de bó rán dà nù ， běn lái jiù shòu le wǔ rǔ ， méi xiǎng dào lián shǒu xià yě bù tīng huà le 。
“你们干什么，本少主的话没有听见么，还是想要我禀告老祖？”万孟豪不由得勃然大怒，本来就受了侮辱，没想到连手下也不听话了。
"My lord, it's not that I'm defying your orders," said a cultivator in gray-white robes. His cultivation was quite formidable—late-stage Core Formation—but he didn't mention his abilities; even his realm was slightly higher than the foolish young master's.
“ shǎo zhǔ ， bú shì lǎo xiǔ wéi lìng ， ér shì gāng gāng nà rén ” yī shēn chuān huī bái dào páo de xiū shì kāi kǒu le ， cǐ rén xiū wèi dào yě bù ruò ， yuán yīng hòu qī ， shén tōng zàn qiě bù tí ， jiù shì jìng jiè yě yào bǐ nà wèi bái chī shǎo zhǔ gāo shàng shǎo xǔ 。
“少主，不是老朽违令，而是刚刚那人”一身穿灰白道袍的修士开口了，此人修为倒也不弱，元婴后期，神通暂且不提，就是境界也要比那位白痴少主高上少许。
Wan Menghao hesitated briefly and his voice softened somewhat as he addressed this notorious demon lord, "Brother Daoist, what do you mean? With so many cultivators here, we shouldn't be unable to catch just one person… No, that man is holding a woman. Her cultivation is only Foundation Establishment, but she looks nice. Capture her alive and bring her back as a surprise."
wàn mèng háo lüè yī chí yí ， shēng yīn yě shū huǎn le xiē ， duì zhè wèi è míng zhāo zhāng de dà mó tóu tā yě bù gǎn tài guò wú lǐ ：“ dào xiōng zhè huà hé yì ， wǒ men rú cǐ duō xiū xiān zhě ， nán dào hái zhuō bú zhù tā yí gè …， bú duì ， nà rén shǒu zhōng hái bào zhe yī nǚ zǐ ， dàn xiū wèi bù guò zhù jī ， zé zé ， zhǎng dé dào bú cuò ， jiāng cǐ nǚ gěi wǒ shēng qín huó zhuō ， xiǎo měi rén zhèng hǎo ná lái yā jīng yī fān de 。”
万孟豪略一迟疑，声音也舒缓了些，对这位恶名昭彰的大魔头他也不敢太过无礼：“道兄这话何意，我们如此多修仙者，难道还捉不住他一个…，不对，那人手中还抱着一女子，但修为不过筑基，啧啧，长得倒不错，将此女给我生擒活捉，小美人正好拿来压惊一番的。”
The surrounding cultivators exchanged glances. The number of lecherous evil cultivators was countless, yet they couldn't match the young master's level of admiration.
zhōu wéi zhī rén miàn miàn xiāng qù ， xié xiū zhī zhōng hào sè de bù zhī fán jǐ ， dàn yǔ yǎn qián de shǎo zhǔ xiāng bǐ ， yě bù yóu de zì kuì bù rú ， gǒng shǒu shuō shàng yī shēng pèi fú 。
周围之人面面相觑，邪修之中好色的不知凡几，但与眼前的少主相比，也不由得自愧不如，拱手说上一声佩服。
"Lord, let’s not talk about that woman for now. That unremarkable cultivator seems to be at the Separation stage…" said the gray-robed cultivator with a bitter smile. However, before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly turned his head as if sensing something.
“ shǎo zhǔ ， nà nǚ zǐ zàn qiě bù shuō ， gāng gāng nà mào bù jīng rén de xiū xiān zhě ， sì hū shì lí hé ……” huī bái dào páo de xiū shì mǎn liǎn kǔ xiào ， rán ér huà yīn wèi luò ， tū rán xiàng shì gǎn yìng dào shén me shì de zhuǎn guò le tóu lú 。
“少主，那女子暂且不说，刚刚那貌不惊人的修仙者，似乎是离合……”灰白道袍的修士满脸苦笑，然而话音未落，突然像是感应到什么似的转过了头颅。
At the distant horizon, silver light flashed briefly but quickly expanded like an angry tide of waves.
yuǎn chù de tiān biān ” yín máng zhà xiàn ， kāi shǐ jǐn yǒu yì diǎn ， dàn zhuǎn yǎn jiān ， jiù yǒu rú hǎi cháo nù tāo yì bān de zhǎn xiàn zài yǎn qián 。
远处的天边”银芒乍现，开始仅有一点，但转眼间，就有如海潮怒涛一般的展现在眼前。
Silver light and the shrill cries filled their ears as they looked out.
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， yín sè de yī yì ， hái yǒu lìng rén xīn fú qì zào de míng jiào shēng huí dàng yú ěr biān 。
放眼望去，银色的一异，还有令人心浮气躁的鸣叫声回荡于耳边。
"What is this… a beast tide? Silver Fish Birds?"
“ zhè shì …… shòu cháo ， yín yú niǎo ？”
“这是……兽潮，银鱼鸟？”
The cultivators were dumbfounded, exchanging glances with pale faces. They couldn't help but be terrified by these demon birds, almost losing control of their legs.
zhòng xiū shì mù dèng kǒu dāi zhī yú ” miàn miàn xiāng qù ， liǎn sè yí gè èr gè biàn dé nán kàn yǐ jí 。
众修士目瞪口呆之余”面面相觑，脸色一个二个变得难看以极。
"Quickly protect my young master and return to White Tiger City. Activate the city’s defenses and order all cultivators to form arrays to meet the enemy head-on. We must not let this demon bird enter the city."
zuò wèi dōng hǎi tǔ shēng tǔ zhǎng de xiū shì ， tā men nǎ néng bù zhī dào zhè yāo qín de kě pà zhī chù ， jī hū xià dé tuǐ dōu ruǎn le 。
做为东海土生土长的修士，他们哪能不知道这妖禽的可怕之处，几乎吓得腿都软了。
A hoarse voice echoed in their ears. The gray-robed cultivator, an advanced Core Formation cultivator, despite his trembling legs, understood that they had no choice but to fight.
“ kuài ， bǎo hù shǎo zhǔ huí qù ， jiāng bái hǔ chéng de jìn zhì kāi qǐ ， mìng lìng suǒ yǒu de xiū shì jié zhèn yíng dí ， jué bù néng ràng zhè yāo qín chōng rù chéng lǐ 。”
“快，保护少主回去，将白虎城的禁制开启，命令所有的修士结阵迎敌，绝不能让这妖禽冲入城里。”
Fortunately, Wan Beast Island was incredibly powerful with countless traps and barriers. As long as they united, they might survive this terrifying beast tide.
yǒu xiē shā yǎ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà huī páo xiū shì bù kuì shì yuán yīng hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， jǐn guǎn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā yě liǎng tuǐ fā ruǎn ， dàn yě míng bái ， wéi yǒu yī zhàn 。
有些沙哑的声音传入耳朵，那灰袍修士不愧是元婴后期的修仙者，尽管此时此刻，他也两腿发软，但也明白，唯有一战。
Flight was impossible; they would only die faster.
hǎo zài wàn shòu dǎo shí lì xióng hòu yǐ jí ， dǎo zhǔ suī rán bù zài ， dàn jìn zhì xiàn jǐng bù jì qí shù ， zhǐ yào zhòng zhì chéng chéng ” wèi bì bù néng cóng zhè kě pà de shòu cháo zhōng áo guò 。
好在万兽岛实力雄厚以极，岛主虽然不在，但禁制陷阱不计其数，只要众志成城”未必不能从这可怕的兽潮中熬过。
Before he could finish speaking, he waved his sleeves, enveloping himself in grayish-black demonic energy. He stepped forward, pulling the terrified young master towards the city walls.
táo ， shì bù kě néng de ， nà huì sǐ dé gèng kuài 。
逃，是不可能的，那会死得更快。
Seeing their leader take the lead, the other cultivators suddenly awoke from their stupor and unleashed their full power, fleeing like they had been set on fire.
huà yīn wèi luò ， tā xiù páo yī fú ， zhěng gè rén bèi huī bái sè de mó qì bāo guǒ ， tà qián yī bù ， jiāng xià dé fā dāi de shǎo zhǔ yī chě ” jiù dài zhe tā xiàng chéng qiáng de fāng xiàng fēi lüè ér qù le 。
话音未落，他袖袍一拂，整个人被灰白色的魔气包裹，踏前一步，将吓得发呆的少主一扯”就带着他像城墙的方向飞掠而去了。
Fortunately, they were close to the city gates. The ancient and powerful incantations echoed in their ears as the remaining cultivators guarding the city walls noticed something was wrong and activated the barriers without being told.
zhè yī dài tóu ， qí tā de xiū xiān zhě yě rú dà mèng chū xǐng bān de fā yī shēng hǎn ， gè zhǎn shén tōng ， rú pì gǔ bèi huǒ shāo bān de láng bèi táo cuàn 。
这一带头，其他的修仙者也如大梦初醒般的发一声喊，各展神通，如屁股被火烧般的狼狈逃窜。
A blue protective barrier rose slowly but already displayed an ancient and profound aura.
hǎo zài tā men jù lí chéng mén bù yuǎn ， hòu zhòng gǔ piáo de zhòu yǔ shēng chuán rù ěr biān ” chéng qiáng shàng liú shǒu de xiū xiān zhě yě fā xiàn le bù tuǒ ， gēn běn bù yòng fēn fù jiù yǐ jiāng jìn zhì kāi qǐ le 。
好在他们距离城门不远，厚重古朴的咒语声传入耳边”城墙上留守的修仙者也发现了不妥，根本不用吩咐就已将禁制开启了。
Thousands of soldiers appeared, numbering over ten thousand. Wan Beast Island's defenses were formidable indeed.
yī céng wèi lán sè de hù zhào rǎn rǎn shēng qǐ ， suī rán shàng wèi chéng xíng ” dàn jiù xiǎn chū le gǔ piáo xuán ào zhī yì 。
一层蔚蓝色的护罩冉冉升起，虽然尚未成型”但就显出了古朴玄奥之意。
There were also crystal cannons with longer barrels and larger calibers than those on warships, indicating their superior firepower.
yī duì duì jiǎ shì yě chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ ， zú yǒu shàng wàn zhī duō ” wàn shòu dǎo de fáng yù lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
一队队甲士也出现在视线里，足有上万之多”万兽岛的防御力非同小可。
As the battle loomed closer, the atmosphere grew more tense.
hái yǒu nà jīng wēi pào ， bù lùn kǒu jìng hái shì pào guǎn de cháng dù ， dōu shèng guò le zhàn chuán shàng de xǔ duō ， wēi lì xiǎn rán yě huì gèng chū sè 。
还有那晶威炮，不论口径还是炮管的长度，都胜过了战船上的许多，威力显然也会更出色。
Despite the well-prepared cultivators, the Silver Fish Birds showed no fear. The saying "Man for money, bird for food" was evident here.
dà zhàn jiāng zhì ， kōng qì zhōng de qì fēn xiǎn de yuè fā níng zhì 。
大战将至，空气中的气氛显得越发凝滞。
Their eyes were fixed on the emerald berries, but their target had changed to the unfortunate young master.
miàn duì yán zhèn yǐ dài de xiū xiān zhě ， yín yú niǎo què méi yǒu rèn hé wèi jù ， rén wéi cái sǐ ， niǎo wèi shí wáng de dào lǐ zài zhè lǐ tǐ xiàn dé lín tāo jìn zhì 。
面对严阵以待的修仙者，银鱼鸟却没有任何畏惧，人为财死，鸟为食亡的道理在这里体现得淋涛尽致。
"Ahh!"
xī men de yǎn zhōng ， zhǐ yǒu cuì lǜ jiāng guǒ ， zhǐ bù guò mù biāo yǐ yóu lín xuān huàn chéng le nà dǎo méi de shǎo zhǔ 。
牺们的眼中，只有翠绿浆果，只不过目标已由林轩换成了那倒霉的少主。
Cries of pain filled the air as slower-moving soldiers were swallowed by the silver tide.
“ a ！”
“啊！”
Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Separation stage were like ants in a flood. Even if they fought desperately, it only created small ripples that quickly vanished, leaving nothing but bones behind.
cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， pǎo dé jiào màn de jiǎ shì yǐ jīng bèi nà yín sè de làng cháo tūn mò 。
惨叫声传入耳朵，跑得较慢的甲士已经被那银色的浪潮吞没。
Over two hundred soldiers perished, and then came the Core Formation cultivators with slightly slower evasion speeds.
qū qū zhù jī níng dān qī xiū xiān zhě zài zhè zhǒng guī mó de shòu cháo zhōng ， kě yǐ shuō rú lóu yǐ bān cuì ， ruò ， jí biàn pīn mìng fǎn kàng yě bù guò jī qǐ yī duǒ xiǎo xiǎo de làng huā bà le 。
区区筑基凝丹期修仙者在这种规模的兽潮中，可以说如蝼蚁般脆，弱，即便拼命反抗也不过激起一朵小小的浪huā罢了。
The terror on their faces was extreme as they could barely hold off the demon birds. Like ants biting an elephant, their fate was grim.
méi yǒu sī háo xiào guǒ ， hěn kuài jiù bèi chóng xīn tūn mò ， bèi chī dé lián gǔ tou zhā dōu bù shèng le 。
没有丝毫效果，很快就被重新吞没，被吃得连骨头渣都不剩了。
However, fortune favored the foolish. Despite being targeted by the Silver Fish Birds, the young master managed to escape unscathed due to his swift companion.
liǎng bǎi duō jiǎ shì ， quán jūn fù mò ， rán hòu jiù lún dào le nà xiē dùn sù shāo màn de yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě 。
两百多甲士，全军覆没，然后就轮到了那些遁速稍慢的元婴期修仙者。
Together, they returned to the city walls hidden behind a light barrier.
bèi zhuī shàng de jīng kǒng yǐ jí ， jǐn guǎn néng gòu níng chéng yuán yīng de duō shǎo dōu yǒu jǐ fēn běn shì ， rán ér xià chǎng yě hǎo bù liǎo xǔ duō ， mǎ yǐ yǎo sǐ xiàng de dào lǐ shì yī yàng de 。
被追上的惊恐以极，尽管能够凝成元婴的多少都有几分本事，然而下场也好不了许多，蚂蚁咬死象的道理是一样的。
Only about seven or eight cultivators made it back, less than half of them, mostly Core Formation cultivators. The lower-ranked soldiers had all perished.
wéi yī de qū bié de jiù shì zhī chí dé jiǔ yī xiē ， dāng hún shēn de bǎo wù bèi kěn shì chéng le fán tiě ， chú le zì bào yuán yīng yī tú ， yě méi yǒu le bié de lù ， zhè yàng sǐ zǒng hǎo guò zàng shēn yú yāo qín zhī fù 。
唯一的区别的就是支持得久一些，当浑身的宝物被啃噬成了凡铁，除了自爆元婴一途，也没有了别的路，这样死总好过葬身于妖禽之腹。
The crisis wasn't over yet, but the lucky survivors showed signs of relief. Just as they let out a sigh of relief, an unpleasant smell wafted through the air.
bù guò shǎ rén yǒu shǎ fú ， jǐn guǎn nà wèi shǎo zhǔ yǐ jīng biàn chéng yín yú niǎo yǎn zhōng de kě kǒu shí wù ， tā què shí fēn xìng yùn de ān rán táo tuō 。
不过傻人有傻福，尽管那位少主已经变成银鱼鸟眼中的可口食物，他却十分幸运的安然逃脱。
The old patriarchs were stunned and turned to see the unforgettable scene—the proud young master of Wan Beast Island was so terrified that he had lost control of his bowels.
bì jìng dài tā zǒu de shì yī míng yuán yīng hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， ér qiě yě shì jiàn jī zuì kuài de yí gè 。
毕竟带他走的是一名元婴后期的修仙者，而且也是见机最快的一个。
They couldn't believe their eyes if it weren’t for witnessing it themselves. Men do not shed tears lightly, yet a Core Formation cultivator managed to reach such a state, making him an unprecedented and unparalleled figure. It was truly shameful to be in the same lineage as such a weak descendant.
liǎng rén chéng gōng huí dào le chéng tóu ， duǒ zài guāng mù zhī hòu 。
两人成功回到了城头，躲在光幕之后。
Poor Wan Beast Patriarch, how could his descendants be so useless?
qián hòu jiǎo táo huí lái de xiū xiān zhě zhǐ shèng xià qī bā gè ， hái bú dào yí bàn duō ， ér qiě zhè zhǐ de shì yuán yīng qī ， dī jiē jiǎ shì yǐ quán jūn fù mò 。
前后脚逃回来的修仙者只剩下七八个，还不到一半多，而且这指的是元婴期，低阶甲士已全军覆没。
"Lord, you…"
wēi jī shàng wèi jiě chú ， bù guò nà jǐ míng xìng yùn zhě yě dōu lù chū xīn yǒu yú jì zhī sè ， gāng gāng sōng le kǒu qì ， yī gǔ è chòu què suí fēng chuán rù le bí zi lǐ 。
危机尚未解除，不过那几名幸运者也都露出心有余悸之色，刚刚松了口气，一股恶臭却随风传入了鼻子里。
The gray-robed elder frowned, his face pale with embarrassment. He struggled to find words. Despite the critical moment, everyone's attention was drawn towards him.
zhòng lǎo guài yī zhèn è rán ， suí zhe nà qì wèi ér zhuǎn guò tóu qù ， jiù kàn jiàn le lìng tā men zhōng shēng nán wàng de yí mù ， táng táng de wàn shòu dǎo shǎo zhǔ jū rán xià dé shǐ niào qí liú 。
众老怪一阵愕然，随着那气味儿转过头去，就看见了令他们终生难忘的一幕，堂堂的万兽岛少主居然吓得屎尿齐流。
Wan Menghao blushed and wished he had a crack in the ground to hide under. At that moment, pattering sounds echoed as the Silver Fish Birds approached, clawing and pecking at the blue barrier with frenzied force.
ruò bú shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， dǎ sǐ tā men yě bú huì xiāng xìn de ， nán ér yǒu lèi bù qīng tán ， táng táng yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， jū rán méi yòng dào zhè ge dì bù ， yě suàn shì qián wú gǔ rén ， hòu wú lái zhě ， zhēn shì ràng rén xiū yǔ wéi wǔ 。
若不是亲眼目睹，打死他们也不会相信的，男儿有泪不轻弹，堂堂元婴期修仙者，居然没用到这个地步，也算是前无古人，后无来者，真是让人羞与为伍。
However, White Tiger City’s defenses were far superior to those of warships. The first wave only caused slight tremors on the barrier.
kě lián wàn shòu zūn zhě yí dài xiāo xióng ， zěn me zǐ sūn què zhè me méi yòng 。
可怜万兽尊者一代枭雄，怎么子孙却这么没用。
A cultivator cast a spell, causing dozens of thick electric arcs to spread across the barrier, producing crackling sounds as thousands of Silver Fish Birds were electrocuted into cinders.
“ shǎo zhǔ ， nǐ ………
“少主，你………
But this small number was insignificant compared to the vast tide. The Silver Fish Birds, fearless and determined, trampled their comrades' bodies as they charged forward. (To be continued)
"None of you stand there dumbfounded. That cultivator just offended my young master, and I've caught him alive. I'm going to treat him properly."
Wan Menghao's voice was filled with venom as he had long harbored resentment towards Lin Xuan for repeatedly mocking him.
What a scoundrel!
Who am I? A clown or a street performer?
