“ zhè ………………”
“这………………”
"Ah..."
lín xuān dòu fǎ jīng yàn hé děng fēng fù ， rán ér yǎn qián de yí mù ， yě ràng tā chēng mù jié shé ， zhǐ jiàn lán sè de hù tǐ gāng qì yǐ jù jīng wáng wèi zhōng xīn ， xiàng zhe sì zhōu fān yǒng pēn bó 。
林轩斗法经验何等丰富，然而眼前的一幕，也让他瞠目结舌，只见蓝色的护体罡气以巨鲸王为中心，向着四周翻涌喷薄。
Lin Xuan's combat experience was vast, yet even this scene before him left him speechless. The blue protective aura centered around the King Whale surged outward, spreading in all directions.
mián yán zú yǒu shí yú zhàng ， nà qì shì zhī qiáng ， yī shí piàn kè ， nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ miáo shù ， huǎng hū jiān ， jù jīng wáng de yǎn jīng ， sì hū yě biàn chéng le xuè hóng zhī sè 。
绵延足有十余丈，那气势之强，一时片刻，难以用言语描述，恍惚间，巨鲸王的眼睛，似乎也变成了血红之色。
The aura stretched for over ten meters, its power overwhelming to describe in a moment. It seemed as if the King Whale’s eyes had turned blood red.
zhōng qī hái shì zhōng qī ， jìng jiè bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ ， wǎng shàng tí shēng nà me yí gè děng jí ， rán ér lǎo guài wù shēn tǐ suǒ yùn hán de líng lì ， zé zú zú zēng qiáng le bèi xǔ ………， hún shēn de jī ròu ， gāo gāo bēn qǐ ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā bìng méi yǒu shǐ yòng jù dà shù ， rán ér shēn tǐ yǔ gāng gāng xiāng bǐ ， què dà le yī quān bù zhǐ ， hún shēn shàng xià ， dōu mí màn zhe bào zhà xìng de jīng lì ， nà shì qiáng zhě cái yǒu de qì xī 。
中期还是中期，境界并没有因此，往上提升那么一个等级，然而老怪物身体所蕴含的灵力，则足足增强了倍许………，浑身的肌肉，高高贲起，此时此刻，他并没有使用巨大术，然而身体与刚刚相比，却大了一圈不止，浑身上下，都弥漫着爆炸性的精力，那是强者才有的气息。
It wasn't an advancement in his cultivation stage; it was merely an increase in the amount of spiritual energy within the old monster's body—more than doubled. His muscles stood out prominently, and though he hadn't used the Enlargement Technique, his body had grown significantly larger. He exuded a burst of explosive vitality, the aura of a true powerhouse.
hǎi zú dì yī yǒng shì ！
海族第一勇士！
The Sea Beast’s First Hero!
“ zhè fǎ shù ……“……”
“这法术……“……”
"This spell..."
lín xuān què yǐ jīng cóng zhèn jīng zhōng qīng xǐng ， yǎn jīng wēi mī ， biǎo qíng níng zhòng yǐ jí ， fǎ lì jū rán kě yǐ zēng jiā zhè me duō ， rú guǒ zì jǐ méi yǒu kàn cuò ， zhè yǔ yāo zú tè yǒu de kuáng huà tǐ zhì pǒ wèi xiāng sì ， ér qiě xiào guǒ hái yào gèng hǎo yī xiē 。
林轩却已经从震惊中清醒，眼睛微眯，表情凝重以极，法力居然可以增加这么多，如果自己没有看错，这与妖族特有的狂化体质颇为相似，而且效果还要更好一些。
Lin Xuan regained his composure, his eyes narrowing with intense concentration. The increase in power was substantial; if he hadn't been mistaken, this technique bore a striking resemblance to the Beast Race's unique狂化体质 (Raging Body). And its effects were even better.
duì ， jiù shì kuáng huà zhī tǐ ！
对，就是狂化之体！
Right, it must be the Raging Body Technique!
yǎn qián yīng gāi shì yǔ zhī lèi sì de mì shù 。
眼前应该是与之类似的秘术。
This should be something similar to what he saw.
rán ér kuáng huà shén tōng ， bú shì shā yú yī zú suǒ tè yǒu ， jù jīng wáng shén me shí hòu yě xué huì le 。
然而狂化神通，不是鲨鱼一族所特有，巨鲸王什么时候也学会了。
However, the Raging Body Technique wasn’t exclusive to shark clans; when had the King Whale learned this?
yī wèi yǒng shì yǐ jīng nán yǐ duì fù ， dāng zhè míng yǒng shì hái shǐ yòng le kuáng huà shén tōng ， nà duì dí rén ， jiǎn zhí jiù shì è mèng 。
一位勇士已经难以对付，当这名勇士还使用了狂化神通，那对敌人，简直就是噩梦。
A single warrior was already formidable enough. When that warrior used the Raging Body Technique, it turned into a nightmare for his enemies.
lín xuān kū xiào bù dé ， zhēn shì shén me dōu bèi zì jǐ gěi yù shàng le 。
林轩哭笑不得，真是什么都被自己给遇上了。
Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh and cry at once—what bad luck he had!
rán ér cǐ kè ， tā méi yǒu tuì lù ， yù luó fēng yǐ jīng jìn rù le kuàng mài zhōng ， suī rán bù zhī dào xī men suǒ wèi yǔ zì jǐ de cāi cè ， yǒu jǐ fēn chā yì zhī chù ， dàn wú lùn rú hé ， zì jǐ dōu yào jǐn liàng duō tuō yán yī huì er shí jiān de 。
然而此刻，他没有退路，玉罗蜂已经进入了矿脉中，虽然不知道牺们所为与自己的猜测，有几分差异之处，但无论如何，自己都要尽量多拖延一会儿时间的。
But now, there was no retreat. The Jade Spider Bee had entered the vein, though he didn’t know exactly what they were doing or how much different their actions were from his guesses. Regardless, he needed to buy as much time as possible.
zhǎng xīn zhōng qìn mǎn le hàn zhū ， lín xuān jiāng mó yuán jiàn wò dé gèng jǐn le 。
掌心中沁满了汗珠，林轩将魔缘剑握得更紧了。
Sweat dripped from his palms as Lin Xuan tightened his grip on the Demon Fate Sword.
tōng líng fú bǎo suǒ huà de jiāo lóng yǐ pū dào le jìn chù ， kàn shàng qù qì shì yě shì yī shí wú liǎng ， rán ér jù jīng wáng jì rán shǐ yòng le yā xiāng dǐ de gōng fu ” qí yǒng měng chéng dù ， jiù bù néng yòng yì bān de sī wéi chuǎi mó ， shén dǎng shā shén ， fú dǎng shā fú ！
通灵佛宝所化的蛟龙已扑到了近处，看上去气势也是一时无两，然而巨鲸王既然使用了压箱底的功夫”其勇猛程度，就不能用一般的思维揣摩，神挡杀神，佛挡杀佛！
The spirit-possessed treasure transformed into a dragon that had already closed in. Its presence was formidable, but since the King Whale had used its secret technique, it couldn’t be gauged by ordinary means—Gods and Buddhas be destroyed!
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， wǔ zhǐ wēi wēi wān qū ， yī zhǎng xiàng zhe qián miàn shàn le guò qù 。
右手抬起，五指微微弯曲，一掌向着前面扇了过去。
He raised his right hand, fingers slightly curved, and struck out with a palm.
dùn shí ， kuáng fēng zhòu qǐ ” tiān dì yuán qì shùn zhe tā zhè yī jī ， wǎng qián fāng níng jù ， bìng méi yǒu shén me líng guāng shǎn guò ， què yǒu yī wú xíng jù lì cóng páng biān fú xiàn ér chū ， zhuàng xiàng jiāo lóng de tóu lú 。
顿时，狂风骤起”天地元气顺着他这一击，往前方凝聚，并没有什么灵光闪过，却有一无形巨力从旁边浮现而出，撞像蛟龙的头颅。
Suddenly, fierce winds rose as the primordial energy of heaven and earth converged before him. No spiritual light flashed; instead, an invisible force emerged from the side, colliding with the dragon's head.
shí yú zhàng zhǎng de lì jiāo ， zài zhè kě pà de lì liàng miàn qián ， jū rán qīng rú wú wù ， bèi hěn hěn de shàn fēi diào le 。
十余丈长的厉蛟，在这可怕的力量面前，居然轻如无物，被狠狠的扇飞掉了。
The ten-meter-long厉蛟 (Fierce Dragon) was no match for this terrifying power, being flung away like a kite string broken.
rú duàn xiàn de fēng zhēng yì bān ” dào fēi chū shù lǐ zhī yuǎn 。
如断线的风筝一般”倒飞出数里之远。
It flew several miles back, its wails barely audible as it lost its form. The staff reappeared in his vision.
āi míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， líng guāng yě àn dàn yǐ jí 。
哀鸣声传入耳朵，灵光也暗淡以极。
Lin Xuan remained calm on the surface but felt a shiver of awe within. What an old monster! A single strike was this powerful.
suí hòu zài yě wú fǎ wéi chí jiāo lóng de qū tǐ ， chán zhàng chóng xīn fú xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。
随后再也无法维持蛟龙的躯体，禅杖重新浮现在视线里。
Close combat wasn’t a wise choice. Lin Xuan activated the Nine Heavens Micro-Step.
lín xuān biǎo miàn bù dòng shēng sè ， xīn zhōng què yǐ sǒng rán dòng róng ， hǎo kě pà de lǎo guài wù ， yī jī zhī wēi jū rán qiáng dào zhè ge dì bù 。
林轩表面不动声色，心中却已耸然动容，好可怕的老怪物，一击之威居然强到这个地步。
A swift shift had him appearing over a hundred meters away.
jìn zhàn jué bú shì shén me zhèng què xuǎn zé ， lín xuān shǐ yòng qǐ le jiǔ tiān wēi bù 。
近战绝不是什么正确选择，林轩使用起了九天微步。
He raised his right hand, pouring all his spiritual energy into the Demon Fate Sword. The silver light grew intense as a layer of fine scales enveloped his entire palm. Surrounding primordial energy surged...
yí gè nuó yí ， yǐ jīng chū xiàn zài bǎi yú zhàng zhī yuǎn 。
一个挪移，已经出现在百余丈之远。
Lin Xuan revealed no weakness; he was preparing to unleash the Heavenly Treasure fully.
suí hòu yòu shǒu tái qǐ ” jiāng hún shēn de fǎ lì wǎng mó yuán jiàn lǐ zhù rù jìn qù ， zhǐ jiàn yín máng dà zuò ， tā de zhěng gè shǒu zhǎng ， dōu bèi yī céng xì mì de lín jiǎ bāo guǒ ， sì zhōu de tiān dì yuán qì fēng kuáng yǒng ，、……
随后右手抬起”将浑身的法力往魔缘剑里注入进去，只见银芒大做，他的整个手掌，都被一层细密的鳞甲包裹，四周的天地元气疯狂涌，、……
But just then, an ominous sign appeared—a black shadow suddenly materialized in his vision.
lín xuān bù gǎn cáng zhuō ， tōng tiān líng bǎo zhèng zhǔn bèi quán lì ér chū 。
林轩不敢藏拙，通天灵宝正准备全力而出。
It was a venomous snake!
rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， què jǐng zhào zhà qǐ ” yī tiáo hēi yǐng háo wú zhēng zhào de chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。
然而就在此刻，却警兆乍起”一条黑影毫无征兆的出现在视线里。
Its body was emerald green with two pitch-black heads, both biting toward Lin Xuan's neck.
shì yī tiáo dú shé ！
是一条毒蛇！
The shock on Lin Xuan’s face was obvious. He had no idea where this venomous snake came from, but it was undoubtedly a terrifying predator.
tōng tǐ zuò bì lǜ zhī sè ， rán ér què yǒu zhe liǎng gè qī hēi rú mò de tóu lú ， yī kǒu xiàng zhe lín xuān de bó zi yǎo guò lái le 。
通体做碧绿之色，然而却有着两个漆黑如墨的头颅，一口向着林轩的脖子咬过来了。
But despite the shock, his response was swift and decisive.
lín xuān de jīng è shì kě xiǎng ér zhī de 。
林轩的惊愕是可想而知的。
There was no time for blocking; he barely turned his head to the left, managing to move several feet away. The snake's heads were fierce, but its bite failed to succeed.
wán quán bù xiǎo de ， yǎn qián de dú shé ， jiū jìng lái yuán yú hé chù ” dàn zhè jué duì shì kě pà de lüè shí zhě 。
完全不晓得，眼前的毒蛇，究竟来源于何处”但这绝对是可怕的掠食者。
However, the venomous snake didn’t stop there. Its body shone with spiritual light as a pair of bat-like wings appeared on its back. With a gentle flap, it changed direction and bit toward Lin Xuan’s throat again.
bù guò jīng è guī jīng è ， lín xuān de yìng biàn què shì jí wéi shén sù 。
不过惊愕归惊愕，林轩的应变却是极为神速。
The attack was brief but extremely cunning in its angle.
zhè shí hòu gé dǎng shén me dōu lái bù jí le ， lín xuān miǎn qiǎng xiàng zuǒ piān guò tóu lú ” yìng shì yú bù kě néng zhōng nuó kāi shù chǐ ， nà dú shé de liǎng gè tóu lú suī rán xiōng měng ， duì tā de shì yǎo què méi néng chéng gōng 。
这时候格挡什么都来不及了，林轩勉强像左偏过头颅”硬是于不可能中挪开数尺，那毒蛇的两个头颅虽然凶猛，对他的噬咬却没能成功。
This time, Lin Xuan had no place to hide, but he managed to block the snake's mouth with his hand.
rán ér dú shé què bìng bù yīn cǐ shàn bà gān xiū ， hún shēn líng guāng yì qǐ ， bèi shàng gèng biàn mó wèi bān de fú xiàn chū yī duì biān fú bān de ròu yì ， qīng qīng yī shàn ， yú kōng zhōng yǐ jiāng fāng xiàng gǎi biàn ， rán hòu chóng xīn yǎo xiàng le lín xuān de yān hóu zhī jiān 。
然而毒蛇却并不因此善罢干休，浑身灵光一起，背上更变魔未般的浮现出一对蝙蝠般的肉翼，轻轻一扇，于空中已将方向改变，然后重新咬像了林轩的咽喉之间。
Though the Demon Fate Sword was formidable, Lin Xuan moved faster. The beast didn’t give up; instead, it bit down on his palm.
chū zhāo suī rán duǎn cù ， rán ér xuǎn zé de jiǎo dù què shì diāo zuān dào jí chù 。
出招虽然短促，然而选择的角度却是刁钻到极处。
An unbelievable scene unfolded.
zhè yī huí ， lín xuān yǐ shì duǒ wú kě duǒ ， rán ér tā què téng chū shí jiān kě yǐ dǎng gé 。
这一回，林轩已是躲无可躲，然而他却腾出时间可以挡隔。
Despite the碧焰麒麟甲 (Ember Phoenix Scale Armor) forged from countless treasures and years of effort, and the silver scales that appeared when using the Demon Fate Sword, they couldn't stop the snake's sharp teeth.
lín xuān lái bù jí duō xiǎng shén me ， zhǐ jiàn líng guāng yì qǐ ， bì yàn qí lín jiǎ fú xiàn ér chū ， tóng shí yòu shǒu shǎn diàn bān tái qǐ ， dǎng zài le yān hóu yào hài zhī chù 。
林轩来不及多想什么，只见灵光一起，碧焰麒麟甲浮现而出，同时右手闪电般抬起，挡在了咽喉要害之处。
A searing pain shot through Lin Xuan’s hand. Furious, he grabbed the snake’s tail and slammed it downward with all his might.
dú shé suī měng ， lín xuān de sù dù què bǐ pāo kuài le yī bù ， rán ér zhè niè chù què bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ fàng qì gōng jī ， ér shì jiāng cuò jiù cuò ， xiàng lín xuān de shǒu zhǎng hěn hěn de yǎo luò 。
毒蛇虽猛，林轩的速度却比抛快了一步，然而这孽畜却并没有因此放弃攻击，而是将错就错，像林轩的手掌狠狠的咬落。
His strength was considerable; fueled by anger, the snake, though fierce, could no longer resist.
bù kě sī yì de yí mù chū xiàn le 。
不可思议的一幕出现了。
Bang!
bù lùn shì xiāo hào liǎo wú shù tiān cái dì bǎo ， lì jīng shù bǎi nián cái liàn zhì chéng gōng de bì yàn qí lín jiǎ ， hái shì shǐ yòng mó yuán jiàn suǒ fú xiàn chū lái de yín sè lín jiǎ ， dōu méi néng dǎng zhù zhè dú shé de jiān yá 。
不论是消耗了无数天材地宝，历经数百年才炼制成功的碧焰麒麟甲，还是使用魔缘剑所浮现出来的银色鳞甲，都没能挡住这毒蛇的尖牙。
The small snake, only a few feet long, created a large hole in the ice plain.
shǒu zhǎng yī zhèn jù tòng ， nà gǎn jué ， kě yòng zuān xīn lái xíng róng ， lín xuān dà nù biāo hàn zhī qì fā zuò ， dǎi zhù zhè shuāng tóu guài shé de wěi ba ， hěn hěn de cháo zhe xià fāng guàn luò 。
手掌一阵剧痛，那感觉，可用钻心来形容，林轩大怒彪悍之气发作，逮住这双头怪蛇的尾巴，狠狠的朝着下方贯落。
This showed how formidable Lin Xuan's strength truly was.
tā de lì liàng yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， cǐ shí yòu shì hán hèn fā nù ， shuāng tóu guài shé suī měng ， què yǐ dǐ dǎng bú zhù 。
他的力量也非同小可，此时又是含恨发怒，双头怪蛇虽猛，却已抵挡不住。
Though he seemed to have avenged himself, his hand felt useless. More accurately, it was paralyzed after being bitten.
zhǎng bù guò shù chǐ de yī tiáo xiǎo shé ， jū rán jiāng bīng yuán zhuàng chū yì zhí jìng zhàng xǔ de dà dòng 。
长不过数尺的一条小蛇，居然将冰原撞出一直径丈许的大洞。
Lin Xuan withdrew his right hand, which had been transformed into the Ember Phoenix Scale Armor. The entire palm was wrapped in black energy, turning black as numbness spread.
cóng zhè yì diǎn ， yě kě yǐ kàn chū lín xuān nà yí guàn de lì liàng ， shì hé děng de fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
从这一点，也可以看出林轩那一贯的力量，是何等的非同小可。
He released his grip, and the Demon Fate Sword fell to the ground. He didn’t intend this; his whole right hand was too weak to hold it anymore.
kàn shì bào le yī jiàn zhī chóu ， rán ér lín xuān de shǒu zhǎng ， què gǎn jué bù gòu yòng ， zhèng què de shuō ， shì bèi yǎo zhī hòu ， wǔ zhǐ dōu bù tīng shǐ huàn le 。
看似报了一箭之仇，然而林轩的手掌，却感觉不够用，正确的说，是被咬之后，五指都不听使唤了。
Lin Xuan wouldn't let a Heavenly Treasure fall into someone else's hands.
sōu ！
嗖！
With his left hand, he cast out a streak of green light that caught the falling sword and returned it to his waist pouch.
lín xuān jiāng yòu shǒu de bì yàn qí lín jiǎ tuì chū ， cǐ jiǎ yǐ bèi tā liàn zhì dào le shōu fā yóu xīn de dì bù 。
林轩将右手的碧焰麒麟甲退出，此甲已被他炼制到了收发由心的地步。
But just as he completed these actions, the atmosphere turned hostile. The King Whale had taken advantage to attack. Although the ambush didn’t achieve its best effect—killing him—the snake had poisoned him, which was enough.
zhǐ jiàn zhěng gè shǒu zhǎng ， bèi hēi qì chán rào bāo guǒ ， zhèng zhú jiàn biàn chéng hēi sè ， tóng shí má mù de gǎn jué yě zài kuò sàn zhe 。
只见整个手掌，被黑气缠绕包裹，正逐渐变成黑色，同时麻木的感觉也在扩散着。
What more could be said?
wǔ zhǐ yī sōng ， mó yuán jiàn wǎng xià diào luò ， bìng bú shì lín xuān xiǎng yào zhè me zuò ， ér shì zhěng gè yòu shǒu wú lì ， yǐ jīng zhuā bú zhù 。
五指一松，魔缘剑往下掉落，并不是林轩想要这么做，而是整个右手无力，已经抓不住。
Seize the opportunity while they’re down. This rule wasn't only familiar to Lin Xuan; the King Whale was equally adept at it. Now, Lin Xuan found himself in a dire situation, turning from hunter to prey. The odds were against him, and his prospects looked bleak.
tōng tiān líng bǎo ， lín xuān dāng rán bú huì rèn yóu luò rù bié rén de shǒu zhōng 。
通天灵宝，林轩当然不会任由落入别人的手中。
The opponent’s power was on full display, making direct confrontation foolish. Lin Xuan flashed away, intending to use the Nine Heavens Micro-Step, but he realized the air around him had inexplicably solidified. At this moment, the King Whale performed a hand seal!
"Ah..."
Lin Xuan's combat experience was vast, yet even this scene before him left him speechless. The blue protective aura centered around the King Whale surged outward, spreading in all directions.
The aura stretched for over ten meters, its power overwhelming to describe in a moment. It seemed as if the King Whale’s eyes had turned blood red.
