mǎn liǎn de xián shì zhī sè。
满脸的闲适之sè。
His face exuded a sense of leisure.
bié shuō miè chú ， cóng tā de yǎn zhōng ， shèn zhì sī háo láng bèi dōu méi yǒu 。
别说灭除，从他的眼中，甚至丝毫狼狈都没有。
To say nothing of the annihilation, from his eyes, not even a hint of distress could be seen. The previous attack seemed like a gentle breeze that had barely troubled him at all.
gāng cái de gōng jī ， fǎng fú qīng fēng fú guò ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu duì tā zào chéng fèn háo kùn rǎo de 。
刚才的攻击，仿佛清风拂过，根本就没有对他造成分毫困扰的。
"How... how is this possible?"
“ zhè ， zhè zěn me kě néng ne ？”
“这，这怎么可能呢？”
All the Black Wind pirates widened their eyes in disbelief, thinking they must have misjudged it. The pack tactic involved hundreds of high-ranking cultivators launching attacks in unison with close coordination and even array techniques enhancing their power.
suǒ yǒu de hēi fēng dào quán bù dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， yǐ wéi zì jǐ kàn cuò 。
所有的黑风盗全部瞪大了眼珠，以为自己看错。
How could he not be injured a single bit?
láng qún zhàn shù ， shù yǐ bǎi jì de gāo jiē xiū shì yì qǐ chū shǒu ， mì qiè pèi hé ， hái yǒu zhèn fǎ de shén miào jiā chí zài qí zhōng 。
狼群战术，数以百计的高阶修士一起出手，密切配合，还有阵法的神妙加持在其中。
Unless he wasn't at the Separation stage but had reached the Profound Yin realm.
duì fāng zěn me kě néng lián yì diǎn yóu pí dōu méi yǒu cā pò ？
对方怎么可能连一点油皮都没有擦破？
Thoughts raced through the minds of the leaders, and even the lower-ranked pirates. Pretending to be weak to catch the strong? That kind of ancient monster was beyond their reach.
chú fēi tā bú shì lí hé ， ér shì dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě 。
除非他不是离合，而是dòng玄期修仙者。
At this moment, without any prompting from the leaders, they all hurriedly released their divine sense to verify his cultivation stage. It turned out he wasn't at the Separation realm but had reached the Profound Yin realm.
hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， bié shuō jǐ wèi dāng jiā yǔ tóu mù ， lián nà xiē xiǎo lóu luō de liǎn sè dōu quán biàn le 。
海中念头转过，别说几位当家与头目，连那些xiǎo喽啰的脸sè都全变了。
The leader's face remained calm as he commanded: "Don’t panic, activate the defensive array and target the sword beam."
bàn zhū chī lǎo hǔ ？
扮猪吃老虎？
He waved his hands, casting several spells towards the array in front of him. The other leaders understood the gravity of the situation and quickly joined in.
nà zhǒng děng jí de lǎo guài wù kě shì tā men hēi fēng dào zhāo rě bù qǐ de 。
那种等级的老怪物可是他们黑风盗招惹不起的。
Whoosh...
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě bù yòng shǒu lǐng men tí xǐng shén me ， yí gè èr gè ， jiù zhēng xiān kǒng hòu de jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， kě zhēn de jǐn jǐn shì lí hé ， ér qiě lián zhōng qī dǐng fēng dōu méi yǒu dá dào de ， zhòng xiū shì miàn miàn xiāng qù ， dōu zài sī kǎo zhe tóng yī gè wèn tí ， zhè zhǒng děng jí ， wèi hé huì biāo hàn dào rú cǐ jìng dì 。
此时此刻，也不用首领们提醒什么，一个二个，就争先恐后的将神识放出，可真的仅仅是离合，而且连中期顶峰都没有达到的，众修士面面相觑，都在思考着同一个问题，这种等级，为何会彪悍到如此境地。
A layer of yellowish-brown light appeared on the surface of the pirate ship. Earth element protection was indeed the most solid among the Five Elements.
“ yí ， nǐ kàn tā de shēn qián 。”
“咦，你看他的身前。”
The other pirate leaders also summoned their own treasures, unleashing them at the silver sword beam to slow it down and weaken its power.
mǒu gè hǎi dào yǎn jiān ， zhèng què de shuō ， yě shì xiū liàn yǒu mǒu zhǒng líng yǎn mì shù ， dāng rán ， yǔ lín xuān de tiān fèng shén mù xiāng bǐ ， nà jiù xiǎn de bù suàn shén me 。
某个海盗眼尖，正确的说，也是修炼有某种灵眼秘术，当然，与林轩的天凤神目相比，那就显得不算什么。
This idea wasn't wrong, but it seemed useless.
bù guò chuān tòu nóng wù hái shì méi yǒu wèn tí ， gāng gāng hái zhēn de méi yǒu zhù yì ， zài lín xuān de shēn qián ， yǒu yī céng dàn qīng sè guāng mù ， báo rú chán yì de nà zhǒng ， yí gè tài jí tú àn zài shàng miàn liú zhuǎn ， yǐn yǐn yǒu shén mì gǔ piáo de yùn wèi ér liú chuán chū lái 。
不过穿透浓雾还是没有问题，刚刚还真的没有注意，在林轩的身前，有一层淡青sè光幕，薄如蝉翼的那种，一个太极图案在上面流转，隐隐有神秘古朴的韵味儿流传出来。
Some pirates showed fear as divine light enveloped their bodies, trying to escape. But this was the most foolish behavior.
zhè shì shén me bǎo wù ？
这是什么宝物？
The sword beam moved slowly yet quickly, splitting the sea like a river. Those who tried to flee were hit first. Even a slight contact caused them to lose all combat ability and be instantly devoured by the dazzling sword light, leaving no trace of their souls.
nán dào gāng gāng jiù shì zhè céng báo rú chán yì de fáng yù dǎng zhù le pū tiān gài dì de gōng jī ， zhòng xiū shì de liǎn shàng mǎn shì chà yì 。
难道刚刚就是这层薄如蝉翼的防御挡住了铺天盖地的攻击，众修士的脸上满是诧异。
Survivors' faces changed.
bù guò chú le zhè ge yǐ wài ， tā men yòu shí zài zhǎo bù chū shén me hé lǐ de jiě shì chū lái 。
不过除了这个以外，他们又实在找不出什么合理的解释出来。
Suddenly...
qīng cuì de míng jiào chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu nà guāng mù jìng rán fēn jiě xiāo róng diào le ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì qī miàn dùn pái yìng rù yǎn lián ， měi yí miàn ， shàng miàn de huā wén dōu yì cháng gǔ piáo ， míng xiǎn zhè zhǒng bǎo bèi bú shì fán wù 。
清脆的鸣叫传入耳朵，随后那光幕竟然分解消融掉了，取而代之的是七面盾牌映入眼帘，每一面，上面的花纹都异常古朴，明显这种宝贝不是凡物。
The sword beam struck the defensive barrier directly. The surrounding space vibrated intensely as waves crashed in the sea.
bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì lín xuān de xuán qīng zi mǔ dùn le 。
不用说，自然是林轩的玄青子母盾了。
Vortexes appeared before everyone's eyes.
zhòng xiū shì jīng è guī jīng è ， jǐ míng tóu mù duì shì yī yǎn ， què bù yóu zì zhǔ de sōng le kǒu qì ， yuán lái duì fāng néng gòu huó xià qù ， shì yīn wèi bǎo wù shén miào ér yǐ 。
众修士惊愕归惊愕，几名头目对视一眼，却不由自主的松了口气，原来对方能够活下去，是因为宝物神妙而已。
Could the ship’s protective membrane withstand it? Everyone wondered except Lin Xuan, who remained calm. He knew the final result.
zhè méi yǒu guān xì ， zài shén miào de bǎo wù yě shì yǒu jí xiàn dì ， dà bù liǎo zài duō zuò jǐ cì gōng jī 。
这没有关系，再神妙的宝物也是有极限地，大不了再多做几次攻击。
Whether it held or not didn't matter. With a flick of his right hand, another sword beam was sent out.
zhè zhǒng xiǎng fǎ yuán běn méi cuò ， kě yòng lái duì fù lín xuān jiù tài tiān zhēn le 。
这种想法原本没错，可用来对付林轩就太天真了。
With his current strength, using divine treasures no longer felt restrictive. A single strike consumed most of his mana.
yǐ tā dòu fǎ jīng yàn zhī fēng fù ， zěn me kě néng liú xià nà yàng de pò zhàn yǔ kòng xì 。
以他斗法经验之丰富，怎么可能留下那样的破绽与空隙。
Lin Xuan could still slash twenty to thirty times with his current mana and the help of the surrounding energy.
gāng gāng bèi dǎ le gè cuò shǒu bù jí ， nà shì méi yǒu xiǎng dào hēi fēng dào yǒu zhè yàng de pèi hé yǔ mò qì ， rú jīn zhī jǐ zhī bǐ ， zhè yí mù zì rán shì jué bù kě néng zài shàng yǎn dì 。
刚刚被打了个措手不及，那是没有想到黑风盗有这样的配合与默契，如今知己知彼，这一幕自然是绝不可能再上演地。
He hadn’t used full power; otherwise, it would have been a golden phoenix rather than silver sword beams.
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī bǐng duàn jiàn bù zhī dào shén me shí hòu cóng yī xiù zhōng huá luò xià qù ， bèi tā wò zài le zhǎng xīn lǐ 。
林轩右手抬起，一柄断剑不知道什么时候从衣袖中滑落下去，被他握在了掌心里。
No need for such extreme measures against this level of opponents. Just enough was fine to save mana.
lín xuān yī bǎ jiāng cǐ bǎo wò zhù ， fǎ lì rú cháo shuǐ yì bān de zhù rù ， yī gǔ bīng liáng zhī yì cóng cǐ jiàn biǎo miàn sàn fà ér chū ， suí hòu yín guāng pēn bó ， tā de yòu shǒu cóng shǒu zhǎng zhì shǒu zhǒu ， dōu bèi yī céng xì mì de lín jiǎ bāo guǒ ， sì zhōu de tiān dì yuán qì yě gēn zhe yǒng rù ……
林轩一把将此宝握住，法力如cháo水一般的注入，一股冰凉之意从此剑表面散发而出，随后银光喷薄，他的右手从手掌至手肘，都被一层细密的鳞甲包裹，四周的天地元气也跟着涌入……
The pirates were shocked as more sword beams appeared. They had no choice now. The yellowish-brown barrier was already falling apart. This terrifying attack made the outcome obvious.
dí rén shù liàng zhòng duō ， xiū wèi què cēn cī bù qǐ ， mó yuán jiàn zhèng hǎo kě yǐ fā huī dà shā shāng de wēi lì 。
敌人数量众多，修为却参差不起，魔缘剑正好可以发挥大杀伤的威力。
Pfft...
lín xuān yī jiàn hěn hěn de cháo zhe xià fāng pī qù 。
林轩一剑狠狠的朝着下方劈去。
A dull sound echoed, and the light barrier vanished like bubbles. Two silver sword beams combined into one, slicing towards the ship.
liàng lì de jiàn máng ， mǎn mù suǒ jiàn zhǐ yǒu nà cuǐ càn de yín guāng ， suī bù néng shuō lián tiān jiē dì ， dàn nà yín máng ， cháng dù yě chāo guò le bǎi zhàng ， biǎo miàn fú wén tūn tǔ ， dài zhe yī wǎng wú qián de qì dù ， hěn hěn de xiàng zhe qián fāng pī cì guò qù le 。
亮丽的剑芒，满目所见只有那璀璨的银光，虽不能说连天接地，但那银芒，长度也超过了百丈，表面符文吞吐，带着一往无前的气度，狠狠的向着前方劈刺过去了。
Cries of agony filled the air as cultivators scrambled to escape. Death was scary, but pirates feared the weak and respected the strong. Survival was their top priority.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
The disciplined Black Wind pirates turned into a rabble, fleeing in all directions like birds scattering.
èr dāng jiā chēng mù jié shé ， bù guò zhè shí hòu fā dāi jiù shì ná xiǎo mìng qù kāi wán xiào le ， tā de fǎn yìng yě jí wéi xùn sù ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， jiù duǒ dào le yī biān 。
二当家瞠目结舌，不过这时候发呆就是拿xiǎo命去开玩笑了，他的反应也极为迅速，身形一闪，就躲到了一边。
But how could Lin Xuan let them run?
zhè shí hòu néng gòu zì bǎo jiù bù cuò ， zhì yú tóng bàn qíng xíng rú hé ， tā yě méi yǒu shén me xīn qíng ， qù nà lǐ màn màn jì jiào le 。
这时候能够自保就不错，至于同伴情形如何，他也没有什么心情，去那里慢慢计较了。
He needed to seize this pirate den. He couldn’t allow any survivors to warn the Black Wind Venerable.
“ bù ！”
“不！”
With a flick of his right hand, sword beams flew out from his sleeves as if alive, chasing after the enemies.
“ wǒ de tiān nǎ ！”
“我的天哪！”
However, it wasn't enough. Among these pirates were several skilled experts who knew powerful evasion techniques. Lin Xuan counted about seven or eight.
……
……
No wonder they were called thieves in the Spirit Realm; there were dragons and tigers hiding among them. But this only added to his troubles.
hǎi dào chuán shàng ， jīng hū shēng dǎo shì cǐ qǐ bǐ fú ， zhè me xuàn mù dì gōng jī ， zhòng xiū shì bié shuō jiàn ， tīng dōu bù céng tīng shuō 。
海盗船上，惊呼声倒是此起彼伏，这么炫目的攻击，众修士别说见，听都不曾听说。
Lin Xuan tapped a large ancient bell, its surface emitting purple light with more mysterious inscriptions than the Profound Green Mother-Child Shield.
shèng shǒu shū shēng de liǎn sè， nán kàn dé yǔ sǐ rén chà bu duō ， zài lín xuān fàng chū jiàn máng de yī kè ， tā jiù zhī dào tī dào tiě bǎn le 。
圣手书生的脸sè，难看得与死人差不多，在林轩放出剑芒的一刻，他就知道踢倒铁板了。
"Quickly!"
rán ér yù mèn méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， zuò wéi shǒu lǐng ， tā de zhǐ huī hái shì hěn zhèn dìng hé gé ：“ huāng shén me ， kuài jiāng fáng yù fǎ zhèn kāi qǐ ， zhì yú nǐ men ， zé xiàng zhe jiàn máng gōng jī 。”
然而郁闷没有用处，作为首领，他的指挥还是很镇定合格：“慌什么，快将防御法阵开启，至于你们，则向着剑芒攻击。”
He pointed at the ancient bell, causing it to vibrate loudly. However, the sound waves couldn't kill enemies; instead, they produced loud noises as countless crows appeared in their vision.
tā yī biān shuō ， yī biān shuāng shǒu huī wǔ ， jǐ dào fǎ jué xiàng zhe shēn qián de zhèn fǎ diǎn chū ， jǐ míng tóu mù ， yě liǎo jiě shì qíng de yán zhòng xìng le ， máng chū shǒu xiàng zhù 。
他一边说，一边双手挥舞，几道法诀向着身前的阵法点出，几名头目，也了解事情的严重xìng了，忙出手相助。
These creatures were much larger and had three demonic eyes, covered in grayish-white magical flames.
wū ……
呜……
A cold aura emanated from them. These flame crows weren’t powerful enough to be considered a formidable race, but they suited the situation perfectly.
hěn kuài ， hǎi dào chuán biǎo miàn ， chū xiàn le yī céng tǔ huáng sè de guāng mù ， tǔ shǔ xìng de fáng hù ， běn lái jiù shì wǔ xíng zhōng zuì wèi jiān gù 。
很快，海盗船表面，出现了一层土黄sè的光幕，土属xìng的防护，本来就是五行中最为坚固。
"Go."
zhì yú qí tā de lóu luō tóu mù ， yě fēn fēn jì chū gè zì de bǎo wù fú lù ， xiàng zhe nà yín sè de jiàn máng ， fēng kuáng de dǎ qù le ， xī wàng qǐ dào chí zhì xuē ruò de xiào guǒ 。
至于其他的喽啰头目，也纷纷祭出各自的宝物符箓，向着那银sè的剑芒，疯狂的打去了，希望起到迟滞削弱的效果。
Lin Xuan's voice echoed as these thousand crows split into several groups, producing loud noises and chasing after those seven or eight pirates with the fastest evasion techniques.
zhè yàng de lǐ niàn bìng méi yǒu cuò 。
这样的理念并没有错。
Meanwhile, the sword beams were effective. Cries of pain filled the air as more cultivators fell. The Sage Hand Scholar tried to organize a counterattack but was ignored in this critical moment.
kě xī yòng chǔ sì hū gēn běn jiù bù dà de 。
可惜用处似乎根本就不大的。
The battle's outcome was clear; within half an hour, all the pirates and leaders returned to the underworld. Lin Xuan had no mercy for these evil-doers.
yǒu yī xiē hǎi dào liǎn lù wèi jù zhī sè， hún shēn líng guāng dà qǐ ， jiù xiǎng yào cóng chuán shàng táo chū qù ， kě zhè zhǒng xíng wéi ， míng xiǎn shì zuì yú chǔn dì 。
有一些海盗脸露畏惧之sè，浑身灵光大起，就想要从船上逃出去，可这种行为，明显是最愚蠢地。
Only two leaders remained alive.
nà jiàn máng shì huǎn shí jí ， suǒ guò zhī chù ， lián hǎi shuǐ dōu xiàng liǎng biān fēn kāi le 。
那剑芒似缓实急，所过之处，连海水都像两边分开了。
They looked at each other with grim faces, having become the hunted instead of hunters. Both hated the cultivator who set them up.
nà xiē táo zǒu de lóu luō shǒu dāng qí chōng ， bèi jiàn máng sǎo guò ， nǎ pà shì cā dào yì diǎn biān ， yě jīn duàn gǔ zhé ， wán quán shī qù zhàn dòu lì le ， gèng duō zé shì zhí jiē tūn mò ， zài yào yǎn de jiàn guāng zhōng huà wèi xū wú ， shén me yuán yīng hún pò dōu méi yǒu bàn fǎ táo tuō 。
那些逃走的喽啰首当其冲，被剑芒扫过，哪怕是擦到一点边，也筋断骨折，完全失去战斗力了，更多则是直接吞没，在耀眼的剑光中化为虚无，什么元婴魂魄都没有办法逃脱。
Those young ones were blind; they treated such a powerful expert as prey and led their brothers to their doom.
xìng cún zhě de liǎn sè quán biàn le 。
幸存者的脸sè全变了。
If they could survive, they would never let these brats go.
xià yī kè ……
下一刻……
Unfortunately, neither had any chance to escape. They felt anxious, turning around to see half of the warship sliced in two.
hōng ！
轰！
This enemy was too formidable, with flawless attacks and defenses. The pirates no longer wanted to fight; it was suicide.
jiàn máng zhí jiē zhǎn zài le nà fáng yù de hù zhào zhī shàng ， yī shí jiān ， sì zhōu de tiān dì yuán qì ， bō dòng dōu biàn dé jù liè yǐ jí ， hǎi shuǐ gèng shì rú tóng zài fēng bào zhōng bān de fān yǒng bù yǐ 。
剑芒直接斩在了那防御的护罩之上，一时间，四周的天地元气，波动都变得剧烈以极，海水更是如同在风暴中般的翻涌不已。
"Hero, spare me. If you let me live, I'll serve you faithfully for life," the second-in-command pleaded first. After a moment's hesitation, the Sage Hand Scholar also knelt down. Face-saving mattered more than pride in this situation.
yí gè gè xuán wō ， chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
一个个漩涡，出现在了视线里。
"You really have no backbone, playing that card again."
zhàn chuán de bǎo hù mó ， jiū jìng néng bù néng dǐng zhù ， zhè shì shéi dōu xiǎng xiǎo de de ， wéi yǒu lín xuān yī liǎn de dàn rán zhī sè， wéi yǒu tā ， cái zhī dào zhè zuì hòu de jié guǒ 。
战船的保护膜，究竟能不能顶住，这是谁都想晓得的，唯有林轩一脸的淡然之sè，唯有他，才知道这最后的结果。
: The night update is here, 9000 words completed. Phantom Rain works hard; do you still have votes for me? More support means I can write with even more enthusiasm. Thanks to everyone!
His face exuded a sense of leisure.
