第一千八百一十八章水母王
Chapter 1818: Queen Jellyfish
ér nà xióng shī suǒ huà de lǎo zhě ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zǎo yǐ shì chēng mù jié shé ， bié rén bù qīng chǔ ， duì yú chū shǒu zhī rén de shēn fèn ， tā kě shì zhī gēn zhī dǐ de 。
而那雄狮所化的老者，此时此刻，早已是瞠目结舌，别人不清楚，对于出手之人的身份，他可是知根知底的。
The elderly figure, transformed from the lion, was already dumbfounded. He knew the identity of the one who had acted; others might not understand, but he was well aware.
shuǐ mǔ wáng ！
水母王！
Queen Jellyfish!
hǎi zú liù dà qiáng zhě zhī yī 。
海族六大强者之一。
One of the six powerful sea creatures.
nà kě shì yǔ sān yāo huáng tóng jí 。
那可是与三妖皇同级。
She was on par with the three妖皇.
ér zuò wéi dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， huó le bù zhī dào duō shǎo wàn nián de rén wù ， tā yǐ qián ， kě shì yǔ shuǐ mǔ wáng dǎ guò jiāo dào de 。
而作为洞玄期修仙者，活了不知道多少万年的人物，牠以前，可是与水母王打过交道的。
As a洞玄期 cultivator who had lived for countless millennia, she had once interacted with Queen Jellyfish.
duì fāng bù jǐn shì zhōng qī de xiū shì ， ér qiě shén tōng gèng shì guǐ yì shén mì dào jí chù 。
对方不仅是中期的修士，而且神通更是诡异神秘到极处。
The opponent was not only an intermediate cultivator, but her abilities were incredibly mysterious and strange.
hǎi zú liù wáng ， suǒ chuán chéng de xiū xiān gōng fǎ běn jiù shì jiǒng yì de 。
海族六王，所传承的修仙功法本就是迥异的。
The cultivation techniques passed down by the six sea kings were inherently different.
ná shuǐ mǔ yī xì lái shuō ， shàn cháng huàn shù ， shuǐ mǔ wáng gèng shì qí zhōng de jiǎo jiǎo zhě 。
拿水母一系来说，擅长幻术，水母王更是其中的佼佼者。
For the jellyfish lineage, they excelled in illusionary arts, and Queen Jellyfish was particularly skilled among them.
tā dāng rán bú shì liù wáng zhōng zuì qiáng de yí gè ， dàn jué duì shì zuì nán chán de ， jiù suàn shì tā men zhè yàng de dòng xuán qī cún zài ， yí dàn bèi shuǐ mǔ wáng de huàn shù kùn zhù ， suī bù néng shuō tiě dìng yǔn luò ， dàn xiǎng yào táo tuō ， yě bú shì nà me róng yì de 。
他当然不是六王中最强的一个，但绝对是最难缠的，就算是他们这样的洞玄期存在，一旦被水母王的幻术困住，虽不能说铁定陨落，但想要逃脱，也不是那么容易的。
He wasn't the strongest of the six, but he was undoubtedly the most troublesome. Even for a洞玄期 existence like him, being trapped by her illusions wouldn’t guarantee survival; escaping would be no easy feat.
tā jì de ， wàn yú nián qián ， běn zú de shī huáng céng yǔ shuǐ mǔ wáng qiē cuō 。
他记得，万余年前，本族的狮皇曾与水母王切磋。
He remembered that over ten thousand years ago, their Lion King had sparred with Queen Jellyfish.
shuō shì qiē cuō ， qí shí dāng rán shè jí dào liǎng zú yī xiē fēn zhēng de 。
说是切磋，其实当然涉及到两族一些纷争的。
The sparring involved more than just combat; otherwise, they wouldn't have easily engaged in such conflicts at their level.
fǒu zé shí lì dào le tā men nà ge děng jí ， yòu zěn me kě néng qīng yì chū shǒu 。
否则实力到了他们那个等级，又怎么可能轻易出手。
In the end, although the Lion King emerged slightly victorious, it was a matter of chance. The entire process was fraught with danger.
zuì hòu de jié guǒ ， suī rán shì shī huáng lüè shèng yī chóu ， dàn píng xīn lái shuō ， nà kě shì yǒu jǐ fēn jiǎo xìng de chéng fèn zài lǐ tou 。
最后的结果，虽然是狮皇略胜一筹，但平心来说，那可是有几分侥幸的成分在里头。
Most of the time, the Lion King was on the defensive, especially when trapped by her illusions, nearly being ensnared within them.
zhěng gè guò chéng ， kě yòng xiǎn xiàng huán shēng lái xíng róng 。
整个过程，可用险象环生来形容。
Although he managed to escape, it wasn't as clean and straightforward as that young man's feat.
dà bù fèn shí hòu ， shī huáng shèn zhì chǔ yú xià fēng ， yóu qí bèi shuǐ mǔ wáng de huàn shù kùn zhù yǐ hòu ， chà diǎn jiù bèi jìn gù zài lǐ miàn le 。
大部分时候，狮皇甚至处于下风，尤其被水母王的幻术困住以后，差点就被禁锢在里面了。
Even the mighty Lion King, one of the three great powers among the妖族, found himself in such a predicament. This only highlighted how formidable Queen Jellyfish’s illusions were.
zuì hòu suī rán tuō kùn ér chū ， dàn yě jué bù xiàng nà xiǎo zi rú cǐ de gān jìng lì suǒ 。
最后虽然脱困而出，但也绝不像那小子如此的干净利索。
Seeing a first-stage cultivator like this boy escape was almost too much for the balding old man to bear; could it be that Queen Jellyfish had intentionally let him go?
zuò wéi yāo zú sān dà qiáng zhě zhī yī de shī huáng shàng qiě rú cǐ ， zú kě jiàn shuǐ mǔ wáng huàn shù shén miào dào hé zhòng dì bù 。
作为妖族三大强者之一的狮皇尚且如此，足可见水母王幻术神妙到何种地步。
However, his next move proved otherwise.
suǒ yǐ jiàn yī lí hé qī de xiǎo zi yě néng tuō kùn ér chū ， jīn fà lǎo zhě jī hū yǎo dào shé tou ， nán dào shuǐ mǔ wáng shì yáng fèng yīn wéi ， gù yì fàng shuǐ ？
所以见一离合期的小子也能脱困而出，金发老者几乎咬到舌头，难道水母王是阳奉阴违，故意放水？
Queen Jellyfish, if she had ulterior motives, wouldn’t have needed to reveal her true form and use her命宝 immediately. He clearly saw the attack, though weakened by the illusionary technique. This was far from letting water through; it was a direct hit.
kě jiē xià lái de dòng zuò ， zhèng míng zhè ge cāi cè xiǎn rán shì bú duì de 。
可接下来的动作，证明这个猜测显然是不对的。
In other words, this boy truly escaped with his own strength. The old man sucked in a breath, feeling a sharp pain in his teeth. If he were in Lin Xuan's position, he would have struggled to achieve such a feat.
shuǐ mǔ wáng ruò shì bié yǒu qǐ tú ， méi bì yào jiàn tā yī chū huàn shù ， jiù jì chū běn mìng bǎo wù ， nà yī jī tā kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， suī rán cāng chǔ chū shǒu ， fā huī bù chū quán bù de wēi néng yǔ xiào guǒ ， dàn yǔ fàng shuǐ ， xiǎn rán yě shì bù zhān biān de 。
水母王若是别有企图，没必要见他一出幻术，就祭出本命宝物，那一击他看得清清楚楚，虽然仓储出手，发挥不出全部的威能与效果，但与放水，显然也是不沾边的。
No wonder the Unfavorable Venerable had died at her hands.
huàn jù huà shuō ， zhè xiǎo zi shì zhēn píng zhe zì jǐ de shí lì ， tuō kùn ér chū ， xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， jīn fà lǎo zhě dào xī le kǒu liáng qì ， jué de yǒu xiē yá téng ， píng xīn lái shuō ， tā ruò shì yǔ lín xuān yì dì ér chù ， zì wèn wú lùn rú hé ， dōu jué duì shì zuò bú dào de 。
换句话说，这小子是真凭着自己的实力，脱困而出，想到这里，金发老者倒吸了口凉气，觉得有些牙疼，平心来说，他若是与林轩异地而处，自问无论如何，都绝对是做不到的。
While the old man was in shock, Lin Xuan continued without pause.
nán guài bù liáng zūn zhě ， huì sǐ zài duì fāng de shǒu zhōng 。
难怪不良尊者，会死在对方的手中。
"Bang!"
tā zhè biān xīn zhōng jīng yí ， zhū bān niàn tou ， rú shǎn diàn bān zài nǎo hǎi zhōng yī huǎng ér guò ， lìng yī biān ， lín xuān què shì sī háo tíng xiē yě wú 。
他这边心中惊疑，诸般念头，如闪电般在脑海中一晃而过，另一边，林轩却是丝毫停歇也无。
A dull explosion sounded, and before his eyes, an impossible scene unfolded. Nearly a hundred Lin Xuans appeared, each performing different actions but with lifelike appearances that almost reached perfection, blurring the lines between reality and illusion.
“ pū ！”
“噗！”
The balding old man was stunned. Then he heard a short cry of surprise as Queen Jellyfish's unexpected move left her hidden form disoriented.
yī yǒu xiē chén mèn de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu yǎn qián fā shēng le bù kě sī yì de yí mù ， nà xiē líng guāng sàn kāi ， kě jìn bǎi gè lín xuān què yìng rù yǎn lián 。
一有些沉闷的爆裂声传入耳朵，随后眼前发生了不可思议的一幕，那些灵光散开，可近百个林轩却映入眼帘。
Or rather, she was dumbfounded.
měi gè de dòng zuò dōu gè bù xiāng tóng ， kě piān piān zhǎng xiàng yǔ shēn cái què wéi miào wéi xiào dào jí chù ， dá dào le yǐ jiǎ luàn zhēn de dì bù 。
每个的动作都各不相同，可偏偏长相与身材却惟妙惟肖到极处，达到了以假乱真的地步。
Seizing his moment of distraction, Lin Xuan took off, causing nearby space to distort and collapse. The nearly hundred Lin Xuans vanished in an instant.
jīn fà lǎo zhě gèng shì jīng dāi le ， jǐn jiē zhe ， yòu tīng jiàn le yī duǎn cù de jīng hū ， sì hū yǐn zài àn chù ， yì zhí méi yǒu xiàn shēn de shuǐ mǔ wáng ， yě bèi lín xuān chū rén yì biǎo de zhāo shù ， gěi nòng dé xī lǐ hú tú 。
金发老者更是惊呆了，紧接着，又听见了一短促的惊呼，似乎隐在暗处，一直没有现身的水母王，也被林轩出人意表的招数，给弄得稀里糊涂。
"What...?"
huò zhě shuō ， chēng mù jié shé 。
或者说，瞠目结舌。
The old man’s eyes widened with shock. Despite the surprise, as a洞玄期 cultivator, he reacted swiftly, releasing his powerful divine sense.
chèn tā bìng ， yào tā mìng ， tóng yàng de dào lǐ ， zhè duì shǒu fā dāi de yī kè ， qí shí yě jiù shì táo pǎo de zuì hǎo shí jī le 。
趁他病，要他命，同样的道理，这对手发呆的一刻，其实也就是逃跑的最好时机了。
Lin Xuan was well aware of the limitations of illusionary techniques. Instantaneous travel over long distances was impressive but far from escaping the detection of a洞玄期 monster's divine senses.
chèn zhe zhè shāo yī dān gē ， fù jìn de kōng jiān yǐ niǔ qū qǐ lái ， suí hòu tā xiàn ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de shì ， nà jìn bǎi gè lín xuān shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yī hòng ér sàn ， quán dōu cóng yuán dì xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
趁着这稍一耽搁，附近的空间已扭曲起来，随后塌陷，与之伴随的是，那近百个林轩身形一闪，一哄而散，全都从原地消失不见。
Thus, Lin Xuan didn't pause; he kept moving continuously. His physical strength and deep magical power allowed him to teleport seamlessly. Soon, the old man frowned as Lin Xuan vanished from his divine perception.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
This proved that at this moment, Lin Xuan had escaped beyond the range of his divine sense.
jīn fà lǎo zhě yǎn jīng dèng dé dà dà de ， rán ér jīng è guī jīng è ， zuò wéi dòng xuán qī yāo zú ， tā de fǎn yìng yě shì jí wéi xùn sù ， èr huà bù shuō de jiāng qiáng dà yǐ jí de shén shí fàng chū 。
金发老者眼睛瞪得大大的，然而惊愕归惊愕，作为洞玄期妖族，牠的反应也是极为迅速，二话不说的将强大以极的神识放出。
But it was too shocking. In just a few breaths, what kind of technique could be so miraculous? It was almost unbelievable?
rán ér guān yú huàn yǐng dùn de yōu liè ， lín xuān yòu qǐ huì bù qīng chǔ ， shùn xī qiān lǐ gù rán liǎo de ， dàn nà shì duì yì bān xiū xiān zhě ， zhè zhǒng chéng dù ， hái yuǎn yuǎn táo bù chū dòng xuán lǎo guài de shén shí tàn cè 。
然而关于幻影遁的优劣，林轩又岂会不清楚，瞬息千里固然了得，但那是对一般修仙者，这种程度，还远远逃不出洞玄老怪的神识探测。
Could it be... random teleportation talismans?
suǒ yǐ lín xuān gēn běn jiù méi yǒu tíng xiē de yì tú ， lián xù yí dòng 。
所以林轩根本就没有停歇的意图，连续移动。
The old man shook his head. While such effects were possible with random teleportation talismans, those level of supernatural artifacts had never appeared in the East Sea cultivation world. How could this opponent possess one?
yǐ tā ròu shēn de qiáng hèng chéng dù ， fǎ lì shēn hòu yòu kān bǐ lí hé ， zhè zhǒng lián xù shùn yí shì bàn diǎn wèn tí méi yǒu ， hěn kuài ， jīn fà lǎo zhě jiù zhòu qǐ le méi tóu ， lín xuān yǐ cóng tā de shén niàn zhī zhōng ， xiāo shī de wú yǐng wú zōng 。
以他肉身的强横程度，法力深厚又堪比离合，这种连续瞬移是半点问题没有，很快，金发老者就皱起了眉头，林轩已从他的神念之中，消失的无影无踪。
Damn it! A mere first-stage cultivator managed to escape right under his nose.
zhèng míng duì fāng cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yǐ jīng táo chū zì jǐ shén shí kě yǐ gǎn yìng de fàn wéi le 。
证明对方此时此刻，已经逃出自己神识可以感应的范围了。
But upon reflection, there was nothing worth lamenting; even Queen Jellyfish, a formidable figure, returned empty-handed like him.
dàn zhè wèi miǎn tài lìng rén jīng sǒng ， qián hòu bù guò shí jǐ xī de gōng fu ， jiū jìng shén me dùn shù ， kě yǐ shén miào dào rú cǐ chéng dù ， zhè jiǎn zhí shì bù kě sī yì de ？
但这未免太令人惊悚，前后不过十几息的功夫，究竟什么遁术，可以神妙到如此程度，这简直是不可思议的？
Who exactly was this guy?
nán dào shuō …… shì suí jī chuán sòng fú ？
难道说……是随机传送符？
The old man pondered silently. Despite breaking his head, he found no clues. Suddenly, space rumbled, and in an otherwise empty area, a flash of light appeared, revealing the form of a lean elderly figure.
jīn fà lǎo zhě yáo le yáo tóu ， suí jī chuán sòng fú suī rán yǒu zhè yàng de xiào guǒ ， dàn nà zhǒng nì tiān jí bié de bǎo wù ， dōng hǎi xiū xiān jiè gēn běn jiù bù céng chū xiàn guò ， duì fāng yòu rú hé huì yōng yǒu ne ？
金发老者摇了摇头，随机传送符虽然有这样的效果，但那种逆天级别的宝物，东海修仙界根本就不曾出现过，对方又如何会拥有呢？
He looked around fifty years old, with unremarkable features, lacking any aura of a king. His attire was no different from ordinary cultivators.
kě wù ， qū qū yí gè lí hé ， jū rán cóng zì jǐ de yǎn pí dǐ xià gěi pǎo le 。
可恶，区区一个离合，居然从自己的眼皮底下给跑了。
In short, he appeared as just another ordinary cultivator. Even his spiritual pressure didn’t match his true strength; it was only at the元婴中期 level.
bù guò zǐ xì xiǎng xiǎng ， què yě méi yǒu shén me zhí de ào sàng ， qiáng dà rú shuǐ mǔ wáng ， bù yě yǔ zì jǐ yī yàng ， liǎng shǒu kōng kōng de wú gōng ér fǎn me ？
不过仔细想想，却也没有什么值得懊丧，强大如水母王，不也与自己一样，两手空空的无功而返么？
However, the lion cultivator showed no signs of contempt and respectfully bowed: "Greetings, Queen Jellyfish. Thank you for your righteous intervention."
nà jiā huo ， jiū jìng huì shì hé fāng shén shèng ne ？
那家伙，究竟会是何方神圣呢？
He looked uncomfortable saying this. Two洞玄期 existences had failed to catch a first-stage cultivator; such a tale would be laughed off by others.
jīn fà lǎo zhě dī tóu chén yín zhe ， rán ér rèn tā xiǎng pò le tóu lú ， yě méi yǒu xiàn suǒ ， ér jiù zài zhè shí ， kōng jiān bō dòng yì qǐ ， mǒu gè kōng wú yì rén de dì fāng líng guāng yī shǎn ， yí gè rén yǐng suí zhe xiǎn xiàn 。
金发老者低头沉吟着，然而任他想破了头颅，也没有线索，而就在这时，空间波动一起，某个空无一人的地方灵光一闪，一个人影随着显现。
But this lean elderly figure was undoubtedly Queen Jellyfish.
jìng shì yī gān shòu lǎo zhě ， kàn shàng qù wǔ shí chū tóu ， wǔ guān píng píng wú qí ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu chuán shuō zhōng de wáng zhě zhī qì ， chuān zhe yě yǔ pǔ tōng de xiū shì wú yì 。
竟是一干瘦老者，看上去五十出头，五官平平无奇，根本就没有传说中的王者之气，穿着也与普通的修士无异。
One needn’t look like a king to be the leader of a lineage. The jellyfish lineage’s techniques were known for their strangeness and excelled in illusions, not direct confrontation.
jiǎn dān de shuō ， cǐ rén yī yǎn wàng qù ， jiù shì zài zhèng cháng bù guò de pǔ tōng xiū xiān zhě ， shèn zhì shēn shàng de líng yā yě yǔ zhēn shí de shí lì bù fú ， zhǐ yǒu yuán yīng zhōng qī zuǒ yòu ，
简单的说，此人一眼望去，就是再正常不过的普通修仙者，甚至身上的灵压也与真实的实力不符，只有元婴中期左右，
Stealth and assassination were more suited to them. In other words, the jellyfish lineage's techniques were akin to those of assassins, and its king was naturally an elite killer.
rán ér nà shī zú yāo xiū què méi yǒu rèn hé qīng shì zhī sè ， gōng gōng jìng jìng de bào quán xíng lǐ le ：“ jiàn guò shuǐ mǔ wáng ， duō xiè dào yǒu zhàng yì chū shǒu 。”
然而那狮族妖修却没有任何轻视之色，恭恭敬敬的抱拳行礼了：“见过水母王，多谢道友仗义出手。”
Such people didn’t need a regal appearance; the more ordinary they looked, the better. No past Queen Jellyfish had ever been handsome or dashing.
shuō zhè huà de shí hòu ， lián tā de liǎn shàng ， yě lù chū jǐ fēn bù zì rán zhī sè ， liǎng míng dòng xuán qī cún zài ， què méi yǒu dǎi zhù yī lí hé qī de xiū xiān zhě ， zhè zhǒng shì qíng shuō chū qù ， huì ràng rén xiào diào dà yá de 。
说这话的时候，连他的脸上，也露出几分不自然之色，两名洞玄期存在，却没有逮住一离合期的修仙者，这种事情说出去，会让人笑掉大牙的。
Turning his head, he showed no emotion, as if Lin Xuan's escape hadn't stirred any waves in him. He simply said: "I apologize for the trouble. That boy isn’t an ordinary cultivator; he might not even be from this realm."
bù guò yǎn qián zhè gān shòu lǎo zhě ， què shí shì shuǐ mǔ wáng wú yí 。
不过眼前这干瘦老者，确实是水母王无疑。
"From another realm? What does that mean, friend?"
jǐn guǎn zhè fú xíng xiàng ， huì lìng hěn duō rén chēng mù ， dàn shuí shuō yī zú de wáng zhě ， jiù bì xū yào zhǎng dé xiàng mào táng táng le 。
尽管这幅形象，会令很多人瞠目，但谁说一族的王者，就必须要长得相貌堂堂了。
The old man had planned to glean some information from Queen Jellyfish. Her power was beyond his comprehension, and perhaps she could offer clues. But he never expected her first words to be so astonishing.
shuǐ mǔ yī xì chuán chéng de gōng fǎ yǐ guǐ yì jiàn zhǎng ， shàn shǐ huàn shù ， zhèng miàn duì dí yí xiàng dōu bú shì tā men zuì xǐ huān de 。
水母一系传承的功法以诡异见长，擅使幻术，正面对敌一向都不是他们最喜欢的。
Third update for the evening! How many of you still have your储物袋? Roll on the floor in desperation!
Chapter 1818: Queen Jellyfish
The elderly figure, transformed from the lion, was already dumbfounded. He knew the identity of the one who had acted; others might not understand, but he was well aware.
Queen Jellyfish!
One of the six powerful sea creatures.
She was on par with the three妖皇.

The opponent was not only an intermediate cultivator, but her abilities were incredibly mysterious and strange.
The cultivation techniques passed down by the six sea kings were inherently different.

He wasn't the strongest of the six, but he was undoubtedly the most troublesome. Even for a洞玄期 existence like him, being trapped by her illusions wouldn’t guarantee survival; escaping would be no easy feat.
