众人大惊的转过头,只见金义竟然趁众人分心讨论平分宝物的一刻,将这丹药吞落进肚子里去了。
The crowd gasped as they turned their heads. They saw that Jin Yi had actually managed to swallow the pill in front of everyone's eyes, taking advantage of the moment when all were distracted discussing how to divide the spoils.
zhòng xiū shì bù yóu de yòu jīng yòu nù , yǎn dōu hóng le , zuò mèng yě méi xiǎng dào duì fāng jìng dà dǎn dào rú cǐ chéng dù , zài yǎn pí dǐ xià sī tūn bǎo wù , tā xiǎng yào chéng wéi zhòng shǐ zhī dì me ?
众修士不由得又惊又怒,眼都红了,做梦也没想到对方竟大胆到如此程度,在眼皮底下私吞宝物,他想要成为众矢之的么?
The cultivators could not help but feel both shocked and angry, their eyes blazing with fury. They never imagined that someone would be so bold as to privately devour a treasure right under their noses. Did he want to become the target of everyone's wrath?
lǎo sēng yī shēng nù hè , shuāng shǒu píng tuī ér chū , cóng tā de yī xiù lǐ , fēi shè chū yī chuàn fó zhū , guāng máng sì shè , lián jiē zhū zi de xiàn jū rán duàn kāi le , fó zhū tǐ jī bào zhǎng , zhuǎn shùn zhī jiān , zhí jìng jiù yǒu bàn chǐ lái zhǎng , hěn hěn de zá xiàng le duì fāng 。
老僧一声怒喝,双手平推而出,从他的衣袖里,飞射出一串佛珠,光芒四射,连接珠子的线居然断开了,佛珠体积暴涨,转瞬之间,直径就有半尺来长,狠狠的砸像了对方。
An old monk let out an angry roar, pushing his hands outward. A string of prayer beads shot out from his sleeves, emitting brilliant light. The thread connecting the beads snapped, and the beads suddenly grew in size, quickly expanding to half a foot in diameter before crashing towards Jin Yi.
míng quán xiān zi yī shēng jiāo hē , nà fǎng fú yòng hán bīng zhù chéng de xiān jiàn fēi lüè ér chū , hěn hěn zhǎn xiàng le duì fāng de tóu lú , zhè yī jī chū shǒu , yǐ shì sī háo qíng miàn yě bù liú , cún xīn zhì duì fāng yú sǐ dì le 。
明泉仙子一声娇喝,那仿佛用寒冰铸成的仙剑飞掠而出,狠狠斩像了对方的头颅,这一击出手,已是丝毫情面也不留,存心置对方于死地了。
Mingquan Fairy Lady gave a sharp cry as her ice-cast sword flew out, slicing at Jin Yi's head with deadly intent. Lin Xuan and Yanilu were not far behind; their friendship was irrelevant now that they had drawn their weapons. They were prepared to be surrounded and annihilated.
lín xuān yǔ xiān mù yī lán yě chà bu duō , zhè shí hòu jiāo qíng suàn shén me , jì rán yǐ jīng chū shǒu , jiù yào yǒu bèi zhòng rén wéi gōng miè shā de jué wù 。
林轩与纤幕伊蓝也差不多,这时候交情算什么,既然已经出手,就要有被众人围攻灭杀的觉悟。
A single person attempting to take all the treasure alone would surely end up like this unless he could make it seamless. In an instant, the four of them joined forces, launching a barrage of attacks towards Jin Yi.
yí gè rén xiǎng yào dú tūn bǎo wù , chú fēi néng fǒu zuò dé tiān yī wú fèng , fǒu zé kěn dìng shì huì luò rù zhè zhòng xià chǎng de 。
一个人想要独吞宝物,除非能否做得天衣无缝,否则肯定是会落入这种下场的。
Jin Yi was swallowed by the dazzling spiritual light.
yī shí jiān , sì rén lián shǒu , pū tiān gài dì de gōng jī , xiàng zhe duì fāng xí juǎn ér qù 。
一时间,四人联手,铺天盖地的攻击,向着对方席卷而去。
At the same time, on the other side:
jīn yì bèi yān mò zài le yào yǎn de líng máng lǐ 。
金义被淹没在了耀眼的灵芒里。
"Screech!" The mysterious door to the strange realm opened again with a creaking sound.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí , lìng yī cè 。
与此同时,另一侧。
Two old experts at the Profound Foundation stage were visibly exhausted. They had spent countless efforts and wasted too much time here.
“ zhī ya ” yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ , nà shén mì de yì kōng zhī mén , zhōng yú chóng xīn dǎ kāi le 。
“吱呀”一声传入耳朵,那神秘的异空之门,终于重新打开了。
"Haha! Success in opening it. It wasn't all for nothing; this is thanks to Brother Yu," said the Daoist elder, laughing wildly as he stepped forward.
liǎng míng dòng xuán qī lǎo guài de liǎn shàng yě mǎn shì pí juàn zhī sè , fèi jǐn qiān xīn wàn kǔ , zài cǐ dì , tā men yǐ dān gē le tài duō de gōng fu 。
两名洞玄期老怪的脸上也满是疲倦之色,费尽千辛万苦,在此地,他们已耽搁了太多的功夫。
"Friend Qiu, why are you so anxious?" The golden-haired old expert pulled him back.
“ hā hā , kāi qǐ chéng gōng , zǒng suàn méi yǒu bái bái làng fèi wǒ èr rén yī fān xīn xuè , zhè cì quán kào yú xiōng dì le 。” dào zhuāng lǎo zhě dà xǐ , kuáng xiào zhe mài bù zǒu le guò qù 。
“哈哈,开启成功,总算没有白白浪费我二人一番心血,这次全靠余兄弟了。”道装老者大喜,狂笑着迈步走了过去。
"How can we be so eager? We've gone through so much just to find out who killed Li family cultivators. And the momentary space is no trivial matter; it almost certainly contains extraordinary treasures," said the Daoist elder in confusion. "Brother Yu, why do you want to linger here?"
“ qiū dào yǒu huāng shén duō ” jīn fà lǎo guài què yī bǎ jiāng tā lā zhù 。
“邱道友慌什多”金发老怪却一把将他拉住。
"Brother Qiu, I misunderstood. Of course, we also wish to enter sooner, but the problem is that entry isn't as simple."
“ zěn me , wǒ men fèi jǐn qiān xīn wàn kǔ , bù jiù shì yào jiāng miè shā lǐ jiā xiū shì de xiōng shǒu zhǎo chū , ér qiě xū yú kōng jiān fēi tóng xiǎo kě , shí yǒu ** dōu cún fàng zhe fēi fán de bǎo wù ” yú xiōng dì hái yǒu xìng zhì zài zhè lǐ dān gē ?” dào zhuāng lǎo zhě bù jiě de shuō 。
“怎么,我们费尽千辛万苦,不就是要将灭杀李家修士的凶手找出,而且须臾空间非同小可,十有**都存放着非凡的宝物”余兄弟还有兴致在这里耽搁?”道装老者不解的说。
"Oh? What's your point?"
“ qiū xiōng wù huì le , wǒ zì rán yě xiǎng zǎo diǎn jìn rù , wèn tí shì , zhè lǐ bú shì xiǎng jìn jiù néng jìn de 。”
“邱兄误会了,我自然也想早点进入,问题是,这里不是想进就能进的。”
"We forcibly opened this strange realm door, and at the entrance, there will be powerful spatial forces pulling on us. Even if we are Profound Foundation cultivators, we would still suffer severe injuries trying to pass through," said the golden-haired old expert.
“ ó , cǐ huà zěn shuō ?”
“哦,此话怎说?”
"Brother Yu, you must have a solution since you know all of this. Please don't keep us in suspense; what should we do?"
“ wǒ men shì qiáng xíng jiāng yì kōng zhī mén dǎ kāi , zhè yàng de huà , zài mén kǒu huì yǒu qiáng dà de kōng jiān zhī lì zuò wéi sī chě ” jí biàn nǐ wǒ shì dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě , yī yàng huì chéng shòu bú zhù , qiáng xíng tōng guò , shí yǒu ** huì yuán qì dà shāng de 。” jīn fà lǎo guài diǎn xǐng zhe shuō 。
“我们是强行将异空之门打开,这样的话,在门口会有强大的空间之力作为撕扯”即便你我是洞玄期修仙者,一样会承受不住,强行通过,十有**会元气大伤的。”金发老怪点醒着说。
"It's simple. Just set up a teleportation array and enter using that method. You can bypass the spatial forces at the entrance," said the golden-haired old expert with confidence.
“ yú xiōng dì , nǐ jì rán zhī dào zhè xiē , nà kěn dìng yǐ jīng yǒu liǎo jiě jué zhī cè , jiù bú yào mài guān zi le , gǎi zěn me zuò ” jǐn guǎn shuō 。”
“余兄弟,你既然知道这些,那肯定已经有了解决之策,就不要卖关子了,改怎么做”尽管说。”
"A teleportation array? How long will it take?" The Daoist elder looked displeased.
“ hěn jiǎn dān , zhǐ yào bù zhì yī chuán sòng zhèn , yòng chuán sòng de fāng fǎ jìn qù , zì rán jiù kě yǐ rào kāi mén kǒu de kōng jiān zhī lì le 。” jīn fà lǎo guài xiǎn de xiōng yǒu chéng zhú 。
“很简单,只要布置一传送阵,用传送的方法进去,自然就可以绕开门口的空间之力了。”金发老怪显得胸有成竹。
"Don't worry, just for short distances; it won't take long."
“ chuán sòng zhèn , nà yào dān gē duō jiǔ ?” dào zhuāng lǎo zhě de liǎn sè yǒu xiē nán kàn le 。
“传送阵,那要耽搁多久?”道装老者的脸色有些难看了。
"That's good. We mustn't delay any longer. Brother Yu, act quickly. If you need anything, just say," said the Daoist elder, patting his chest in a grand manner.
“ fàng xīn , zhǐ shì duǎn jù lí de chuán sòng ér yǐ , hěn kuài dì 。”
“放心,只是短距离的传送而已,很快地。”
The golden-haired old expert waved his sleeves, and various mysterious materials flew out...
“ nà jiù hǎo , shì bù yí chí ” yú xiōng kuài zuò , yǒu shén me fēn fù , jǐn guǎn shuō 。” dào zhuāng lǎo zhě pāi zhe xiōng pú , fēi cháng dà qì de chéng nuò 。
“那就好,事不宜迟”余兄快做,有什么吩咐,尽管说。”道装老者拍着胸脯,非常大气的承诺。
Boom!
jīn fà lǎo guài xiù páo yī fú , yòu shì gè zhǒng mò míng qí miào de cái liào cóng yī xiù zhōng fēi lüè ér chū ……
金发老怪袖袍一拂,又是各种莫名其妙的材料从衣袖中飞掠而出……
Continuous explosions echoed as each was louder and more intense than the last. After finding the treasure, Jin Yi had the audacity to swallow it right in front of everyone's eyes. Lin Xuan and company were furious; their previous friendship was now a distant memory. They wished to dismember him into pieces and use his soul for lighting.
hōng !
轰!
Four against one—according to logic, Jin Yi should have no chance of resisting. But as the attacks continued, he showed no signs of resistance, yet none of them managed to break through that protective barrier.
bào liè shēng bù tíng de chuán rù ěr duǒ , yī shēng bǐ yī shēng jù dà ér duǎn cù , hǎo bù róng yì xún dé le bǎo wù , zhè bú yào liǎn de jīn yì jū rán dāng zhe sì rén de miàn gěi dú tūn diào le , lín xuān děng rén de fèn nù shì kě xiǎng ér zhī de , shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù , yǐ qián zài yǒu shén me jiāo qíng , zì rán yě yān xiāo yún sàn diào le ” tā hé xiān mù yī lán bú yòng shuō , biàn shì yí xiàng cí bēi wèi huái de jīn hóng chán shī , hái yǒu míng quán xiān zi yě dōu xià le sǐ shǒu ” hèn bù dé jiāng duì fāng dà xiè bā kuài , rán hòu zài jiāng hún pò yòng lái diǎn dēng suàn le 。
爆裂声不停的传入耳朵,一声比一声巨大而短促,好不容易寻得了宝物,这不要脸的金义居然当着四人的面给独吞掉了,林轩等人的愤怒是可想而知的,事情到了这一步,以前再有什么交情,自然也烟消云散掉了”他和纤幕伊蓝不用说,便是一向慈悲为怀的金泓禅师,还有明泉仙子也都下了死手”恨不得将对方大卸八块,然后再将魂魄用来点灯算了。
A hazy shield enveloped Jin Yi's body, clearly not from his own spiritual energy or any treasure. It had appeared after he consumed what seemed like a divine medicinal substance, seemingly to protect the user.
sì gè dǎ yí gè ” àn lǐ shuō , jīn yì shì méi yǒu shén me huán shǒu zhī lì de , shì shí yě zhèng shì rú cǐ , cóng chū shǒu , dàn xiàn zài , yǐ guò qù le shù xī , jīn yì què shí bù céng fǎn kàng guò , kě tā men de gōng jī , tóng yàng méi yǒu jiàn dào bàn diǎn xiào guǒ 。
四个打一个”按理说,金义是没有什么还手之力的,事实也正是如此,从出手,但现在,已过去了数息,金义确实不曾反抗过,可他们的攻击,同样没有见到半点效果。
This shield looked unremarkable and thin; it could be pierced with a thumb. Yet its defensive power was unparalleled. Despite their anger-fueled attacks, they chose powerful techniques aimed at killing Jin Yi, but that barrier remained intact.
yī céng huī méng méng de hù zhào chū xiàn le , jiāng zhè zéi zi de shēn tǐ bāo guǒ 。
一层灰蒙蒙的护罩出现了,将这贼子的身体包裹。
Lin Xuan's expression turned serious.
ér zhè hù zhào , míng xiǎn bú shì jīn yì zì jǐ de hù tǐ líng lì , huò zhě shén me bǎo wù , ér shì tā chī le nà yí sì yào líng de xiān jiā zhī wù hòu , jiù zì jǐ fú xiàn ér chū , fǎng fú wèi le bǎo hù fú yào zhě 。
而这护罩,明显不是金义自己的护体灵力,或者什么宝物,而是他吃了那疑似药灵的仙家之物后,就自己浮现而出,仿佛为了保护服药者。
"Ahh!"
zhè céng hù zhào kàn shàng qù háo bù qǐ yǎn , yě hěn báo , sì hū yòng yī mǔ zhǐ tou , yě kě yǐ qīng yì chuō pò , kě shí jì shàng , fáng yù lì què qiáng hàn dào le jí chù , sì rén hán nù chū shǒu , suǒ xuǎn zé de , yě dōu shì dà wēi lì de zhāo shù , mù biāo zhǐ yǒu yí gè , jiāng jīn yì zhì yú sǐ dì , kě dǎ le bàn tiān , nà hù zhào , jū rán jiù shì méi pò 。
这层护罩看上去毫不起眼,也很薄,似乎用一拇指头,也可以轻易戳破,可实际上,防御力却强悍到了极处,四人含怒出手,所选择的,也都是大威力的招数,目标只有一个,将金义置于死地,可打了半天,那护罩,居然就是没破。
At this moment, a non-human scream echoed, filled with agony. Inside the shield, Jin Yi clutched his head, his cries reaching a pitch of despair. He even rolled on the ground, completely losing any semblance of dignity.
lín xuān děng rén de bō yǎo kāi shǐ yán sù qǐ lái le 。
林轩等人的剥杳开始严肃起来了。
"Is...?" Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as an ominous feeling arose in his heart.
“ a !”
“啊!”
The other three exchanged looks but did not stop their attacks. They were filled with both resentment and fear; they had to kill this guy no matter what, or they would never be at peace.
ér jiù zài zhè shí , yī zhèn fǎng fú bú shì rén shēng de sī hǒu chuán rù ěr duǒ , lǐ miàn chōng mǎn le tòng kǔ , hù zhào nèi de jīn yì shuāng shǒu bào tóu , jiào shēng qī cǎn dào le jí chù 。
而就在这时,一阵仿佛不是人声的嘶吼传入耳朵,里面充满了痛苦,护罩内的金义双手抱头,叫声凄惨到了极处。
Their attacks became more vicious, yet none of it mattered. The barrier remained unbroken while Jin Yi's aura began to grow exponentially. He was originally at the Separation stage but had already surpassed its peak. Now he was in the middle stage!
tā shèn zhì kāi shǐ mǎn dì dǎ gǔn qǐ lái le 。
他甚至开始满地打滚起来了。
The cultivators' expressions were bizarre—partly shocked and angry, but mostly envious. However, that envy quickly turned into resentment.
wán quán sī háo xíng xiàng yě wú 。
完全丝毫形象也无。
If it had been them who consumed the divine medicinal substance...
“ zhè ……” lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō , yī gǔ bù hǎo de yù gǎn zài xīn dǐ fú xiàn ér chū 。
“这……”林轩瞳孔微缩,一股不好的预感在心底浮现而出。
Lin Xuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise. Initially, seeing the treasure sealed within the altar, he was worried about what kind of evil spirit might be inside. Even after seeing the pill, his doubts persisted. Now, however, it seemed he had overestimated; this really was a divine medicinal substance that could drastically increase one's strength.
qí yú sān rén yě miàn miàn xiāng qù , bù guò tā men bìng méi yǒu tíng xià shǒu lǐ de gōng jī 。
其余三人也面面相觑,不过他们并没有停下手里的攻击。
But what about that protective membrane? That was still puzzling. Regardless, Jin Yi must be eliminated to prevent him from becoming a major threat.
yì fāng miàn shì yuàn hèn , yì fāng miàn shì kǒng jù , zǒng zhī bù guǎn rú hé , yí dìng yào jiāng miàn qián zhè ge jiā huo , zhì yú sǐ dì , fǒu zé tā men shì bú huì ān xīn de 。
一方面是怨恨,一方面是恐惧,总之不管如何,一定要将面前这个家伙,置于死地,否则他们是不会安心的。
The three exchanged glances and quickly reached an agreement. Jin Yi's cultivation had surged to the late Separation stage and continued growing. They no longer cared about envy; they were now fearful.
gōng jī yuè fā de měng è , rán ér méi yǒu shén me yòng chǔ , nà hù zhào jiān shí rú gù , ér jīn yì de qì xī , què yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de sù dù , kāi shǐ zhí xiàn zēng zhǎng le 。
攻击越发的猛恶,然而没有什么用处,那护罩坚实如故,而金义的气息,却以肉眼可见的速度,开始直线增长了。
The legend was true. If he really turned into a veteran cultivator, their roles would be reversed, and it would be them who suffered. They needed to kill him as quickly as possible.
yuán běn tā bù guò shì lí hé chū qī , shèn zhì hái méi yǒu dào dǐng fēng de chéng dù , kě hěn kuài , jiù tū pò zhè ge chè zhǒu le 。
原本他不过是离合初期,甚至还没有到顶峰的程度,可很快,就突破这个掣肘了。
Thoughts raced through Lin Xuan's mind, but his doubts grew even more. Even if the legend was true, taking this substance could increase one's cultivation by a stage; shouldn't they retreat and slowly digest its effects? How could it happen so instantaneously?!~!
The crowd gasped as they turned their heads. They saw that Jin Yi had actually managed to swallow the pill in front of everyone's eyes, taking advantage of the moment when all were distracted discussing how to divide the spoils.
"Damnit!"
The cultivators could not help but feel both shocked and angry, their eyes blazing with fury. They never imagined that someone would be so bold as to privately devour a treasure right under their noses. Did he want to become the target of everyone's wrath?
An old monk let out an angry roar, pushing his hands outward. A string of prayer beads shot out from his sleeves, emitting brilliant light. The thread connecting the beads snapped, and the beads suddenly grew in size, quickly expanding to half a foot in diameter before crashing towards Jin Yi.
