第一千九百一十四章真灵一击vs乾坤一拳
Chapter 1914: True Spirit One Strike vs. Heaven and Earth Fist
jīng è guī jīng è ， jù jīng wáng de xíng dòng ， què sī háo chí zhì yě wú ， zài jiāng dú lóng lǎo zǔ dǎ fēi yǐ hòu ， tā bìng méi yǒu chōng shàng qù tòng xià shā shǒu 。
惊愕归惊愕，巨鲸王的行动，却丝毫迟滞也无，在将毒龙老祖打飞以后，他并没有冲上去痛下杀手。
The shock was immense, but the Whale King's actions showed no hesitation. After sending the Poison Dragon Ancestor flying, he did not rush in to finish it off.
qū qū yí gè yuán yīng zhī tǐ ， gǎi biàn bù liǎo zuì hòu de jié jú ， guān jiàn shì ， dú lóng de tài dù ， tā kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， duì fāng míng xiǎn yǔ nà kě wù de jiā huo ， bú shì yī tiáo xīn lái zhe 。
区区一个元婴之体，改变不了最后的结局，关键是，毒龙的态度，他看得清清楚楚，对方明显与那可恶的家伙，不是一条心来着。
A mereinfant body (yīng tǐ) could not change the final outcome; what mattered was that the Poison Dragon’s attitude was clear—he and that hateful fellow were obviously not on the same page.
jì rán tā běn lái jiù shì zài yìng fù ， nà zì jǐ yòu hé bì duō cǐ yī jǔ ne ， jù jīng wáng xuán fú zài bàn kōng ， kàn shì dāi dāi de méi yǒu xíng dòng ， rán ér kě pà de líng lì ， què zài tā zhōu wéi fēng kuáng de jù jí ， cóng sì zhōu tiān dì yuán qì de liú dòng ， kě yǐ kàn chū xiē xǔ duān ní 。
既然他本来就是在应付，那自己又何必多此一举呢，巨鲸王悬浮在半空，看似呆呆的没有行动，然而可怕的灵力，却在他周围疯狂的聚集，从四周天地元气的流动，可以看出些许端倪。
Since he had already been dealing with this, why should he go out of his way? Suspended in mid-air, the Whale King appeared motionless, but terrifying spiritual energy gathered around him. From the flow of primordial qi in the surroundings, one could see a hint of what was happening.
lín xuān de liǎn sè ， tóng yàng nán kàn wú bǐ ， yǐ huàn líng tiān huǒ de wú shàng shén tōng ， suī rán miǎn qiǎng yā zhì le jué dú ， rán ér tā de yuán qì ， yī yàng sǔn shī fēi xiǎo 。
林轩的脸色，同样难看无比，以幻灵天火的无上神通，虽然勉强压制了绝毒，然而他的元气，一样损失非小。
Lin Xuan's expression was equally grim. Even though the Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire’s supreme power barely managed to suppress the Absolute Poison, his own primordial qi had suffered significant losses.
ér duì fāng yòu zài zhǔn bèi dà zhāo ， zì jǐ bì xū xiān xià shǒu wéi qiáng 。
而对方又在准备大招，自己必须先下手为强。
And now, his opponent was preparing a powerful move; he must strike first.
lín xuān xī le kǒu qì ， jiāng shuāng shǒu tái qǐ ， zài shēn qián wǔ dòng bù yǐ ， tiān kōng zhī zhōng ， jìng rán chū xiàn liǎo wú shù de huàn yǐng ， kàn shàng qù jiù fǎng fú fó jiā de qiān shǒu guān yīn 。
林轩吸了口气，将双手抬起，在身前舞动不已，天空之中，竟然出现了无数的幻影，看上去就仿佛佛家的千手观音。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and raised both hands, dancing them in front of him. In the sky, countless illusions appeared, resembling the Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara from Buddhism.
yí gè yòu yí gè de xuán miào fǎ yìn 。
一个又一个的玄妙法印。
One after another, mystic seals were cast. A faint sound of Buddhist chanting could be heard.
yǐn yuē jiān ， sì hū hái chū xiàn le fó mén fàn chàng de shēng yīn 。
隐约间，似乎还出现了佛门梵唱的声音。
True Spirit One Strike was rarely used by Lin Xuan; such a scene had only occasionally occurred before. The last time he felt curious about it—could this secret technique still have ties to the Buddhist sect?
zhēn líng yī jī lín xuān běn jiù shī zhǎn bù duō ， zhè yàng de qíng jǐng gèng zhǐ shì ǒu ěr chū xiàn guò ， shàng yī cì ， lín xuān jiù gǎn jué dào hěn hào qí le ， nán dào zhè mì shù hái yǔ fú zōng yǒu shén me guān xì bù chéng me ？
真灵一击林轩本就施展不多，这样的情景更只是偶尔出现过，上一次，林轩就感觉到很好奇了，难道这秘术还与佛宗有什么关系不成么？
Thoughts raced through his mind, but there was no time for further contemplation. He focused on dealing with his current enemy, leaving other matters to be dealt with later.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou shǎn guò ， bù guò lín xuān yě méi yǒu shí jiān qù màn màn duō zuò sī suǒ ， xiān xiǎng bàn fǎ duì fù yǎn qián de chóu dí ， qí tā de ， bù guò shì fú yún ér yǐ 。
脑海中念头闪过，不过林轩也没有时间去慢慢多做思索，先想办法对付眼前的仇敌，其他的，不过是浮云而已。
All of his spiritual energy surged into his palms in an instant, almost draining every drop from his dantian and meridians. His mind went blank as the power drained away; he felt dizzy and nauseous, suffering immensely.
hún shēn de líng lì ， fēng kuáng de xiàng shuāng zhǎng yǒng qù ， jǐn jǐn shì yī shùn jiān jiù jiāng tā yóu dān tián dào jīng mài ， hún shēn shàng xià ， jī hū měi yī dī de líng lì zhà gàn 。
浑身的灵力，疯狂的像双掌涌去，仅仅是一瞬间就将他由丹田到经脉，浑身上下，几乎每一滴的灵力榨干。
This technique was incredibly powerful, but it required a high level of mental and spiritual awareness to be used. Compared to the Demon Fate Sword, it was even more formidable, and the Hundred Dragon Fangs were inferior in comparison. It could be said that this was one of Lin Xuan’s most powerful techniques.
nǎo hǎi zhōng yí piàn kòng bái ， fǎ lì bèi kōng hòu ， yǒu yī zhǒng xuàn yūn gǎn ， xiǎng tǔ ， hún shēn kě shuō nán shòu dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
脑海中一片空白，法力被空后，有一种眩晕感，想吐，浑身可说难受到无以复加的地步。
Compressing his spiritual energy into a small light ball, he held it in his palms. The ball was about the size of a jīdàn (a type of fruit), with electric arcs swirling around its surface and countless tiny talisman inscriptions flickering faintly. It appeared mysterious beyond words.
zhè yī zhāo ， wēi lì gù rán jí dà ， kě ruò bú shì xīn zhì 、 shén shí dōu dá dào yí dìng chéng dù ， xiǎng yào shī zhǎn ， gēn běn jiù shì chī rén shuō mèng 。
这一招，威力固然极大，可若不是心智、神识都达到一定程度，想要施展，根本就是痴人说梦。
Inside this round ball, a vague shadow bounced and flashed.
bù guò guāng jiù wēi lì ér yán ， yǔ mó yuán jiàn xiāng bǐ ， dōu hái yào shèng shàng xǔ duō ， bǎi lóng zhī yá ， yě tóng yàng yào bǐ tā xùn sè ， kě yǐ shuō ， shì lín xuān xiàn zài suǒ yōng yǒu de shén tōng bǎo wù zhōng ， wēi lì zuì dà de yí gè 。
不过光就威力而言，与魔缘剑相比，都还要胜上许多，百龙之牙，也同样要比牠逊色，可以说，是林轩现在所拥有的神通宝物中，威力最大的一个。
A tiger!
líng lì bèi gāo dù yā suō ， lín xuān shuāng shǒu hé lǒng ， jiāng tā tuō yú zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng ， bù guò jī dàn dà xiǎo de yí gè guāng qiú ， biǎo miàn què diàn hú chán rào ， wú shù mǐ lì dà xiǎo de fú wén ruò yǐn ruò xiàn zhe ， kàn shàng qù shén mì dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
灵力被高度压缩，林轩双手合拢，将牠托于掌心之中，不过jī蛋大小的一个光球，表面却电弧缠绕，无数米粒大小的符文若隐若现着，看上去神秘到无以复加的地步。
But unlike ordinary mountain kings, True Spirit One Strike was a secret technique that mimicked a divine beast from the spirit realm—White Tiger of the Four Symbols!
ér zài nà yuán qiú zhī zhōng ， jū rán yǒu yī xū yǐng dàn tiào shǎn shuò 。
而在那圆球之中，居然有一虚影弹跳闪烁。
Meanwhile, the Whale King had completed his move.
lǎo hǔ ！
老虎！
He absorbed all the primordial qi within several miles into his body. More accurately, it entered his right fist.
rán ér què yǔ pǔ tōng de shān lín zhī wáng dà bù xiāng tóng ， zhēn líng yī jī ， gù míng sī yì ， shì mó fǎng líng jiè mǒu shén shòu de mì shù 。
然而却与普通的山林之王大不相同，真灵一击，顾名思义，是模仿灵界某神兽的秘术。
His appearance was terrifying yet somewhat comical. The muscles on his body bulged prominently, especially in his right arm, which grew to over seven or eight zhang (about 23-27 feet) long, while the rest of his body remained unchanged.
sì líng zhī bái hǔ ！
四灵之白虎！
It seemed as if he had attached a giant's arm to his body, creating a stark contrast that was visually striking.
ér lìng yī biān ， jù jīng wáng yě wán chéng le tā shǒu lǐ de dòng zuò 。
而另一边，巨鲸王也完成了他手里的动作。
Heaven and Earth Fist!
fāng yuán shù lǐ de tiān dì yuán qì ， quán bù bèi tā xī rù dào shēn tǐ ， bù ， zhèng què de shuō ， shì xī rù dào le yòu quán lǐ 。
方圆数里的天地元气，全部被他吸入到身体，不，正确的说，是吸入到了右拳里。
The Whale King’s preparation was his most powerful secret technique.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā de xíng tài kàn shàng qù jí wéi kě bù ， tóng shí yòu yǒu xiē huá jī kě xiào de 。
此时此刻，他的形态看上去极为可怖，同时又有些滑稽可笑的。
This move had two forms—one light and ethereal, like when he first clashed with Lin Xuan, and the other, which he used now.
tīng shàng qù sì hū yǒu xiē máo dùn ， rán ér shì shí jiù shì zhè yàng de 。
听上去似乎有些矛盾，然而事实就是这样的。
It created an overwhelming commotion, clearly indicating its immense power. The two styles were vastly different; one suited ambushes, causing the opponent to fall without realizing it.
jù jīng wáng hún shēn de jī rou， gāo gāo bēn qǐ ， yòu shǒu yóu qí rú cǐ ， zhěng gè shǒu bì ， bú shì dà le yī quān ， ér shì xùn bào zhǎng ， zú zú yǒu qī bā zhàng zhǎng ， shēn tǐ què méi yǒu suí zhī tóng shí zēng zhǎng 。
巨鲸王浑身的肌rou，高高贲起，右手尤其如此，整个手臂，不是大了一圈，而是迅暴涨，足足有七八丈长，身体却没有随之同时增长。
But in terms of power, this form was naturally more formidable.
gěi rén de gǎn jué ， jiù fǎng fú shì jiē shàng le yī tiáo jù rén de shǒu bì ， yǔ shēn tǐ de bǐ lì xíng chéng le jí wéi xiān míng de duì bǐ ， yǒu zhe qiáng dà de shì jué chōng jī 。
给人的感觉，就仿佛是接上了一条巨人的手臂，与身体的比例形成了极为鲜明的对比，有着强大的视觉冲击。
With a roar, the Whale King raised his massive arm and tightly clenched his fist, delivering a fierce punch towards Lin Xuan.
qián kūn yī jī ！
乾坤一击！
There was no sound as he struck, but thunderous sounds echoed into the ears.
jù jīng wáng zhǔn bèi de yě shì yā xiāng dǐ de mì jì 。
巨鲸王准备的也是压箱底的秘技。
Blue light flickered as all the brilliance converged in the center, revealing an enormous sperm whale. Its mouth opened wide, with teeth sharper than those of a killer whale and more menacing than a shark, lunging at Lin Xuan.
zhè yī zhāo qí shí yǒu liǎng gè tào lù ， yí gè shì qīng piāo piāo de ， jiù xiàng gāng yǔ lín xuān j shǒu zhī shí ， shǐ yòng de nà ge ， hái yǒu yí gè tào lù ， zé shì jù jīng wáng yǎn qián shǐ yòng de zhè zhǒng 。
这一招其实有两个套路，一个是轻飘飘的，就像刚与林轩j手之时，使用的那个，还有一个套路，则是巨鲸王眼前使用的这种。
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan did not hesitate; he raised his head and let out a thunderous roar, pushing the light ball forward with all his might.
shēng shì xuān huá yǐ jí ， yī kàn jiù zhī dào wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， liǎng gè tào lù fēng gé jiǒng yì ， qián yí gè ， lì yú tōu xí ， néng gòu ràng duì fāng xī lǐ hú tú jiù yǔn luò zài nà lǐ 。
声势喧哗以极，一看就知道威力非同小可，两个套路风格迥异，前一个，利于偷袭，能够让对方稀里糊涂就陨落在那里。
Who fears whom? Clash!
bù guò jiù wēi lì lái shuō ， zì rán hái shì xiàn zài shǐ yòng de zhè zhǒng 。
不过就威力来说，自然还是现在使用的这种。
True Spirit One Strike met Heaven and Earth Fist in mid-air.
hōng ！
轰！
Halfway through its flight, the light ball, which had gathered all of his spiritual power, shattered. The White Tiger’s fierce roar echoed as it emerged, rapidly growing to over three zhang (about 10 feet) long. Although still insignificant compared to the sperm whale’s shadow, the tiger showed no fear, charging forward with overwhelming momentum.
jù jīng wáng yáng qǐ nà jù dà de shǒu bì ， wǔ zhǐ jǐn wò ， yī quán è hěn hěn cháo zhe qián miàn dǎ chū 。
巨鲸王扬起那巨大的手臂，五指紧握，一拳恶狠狠朝着前面打出。
Strength does not determine who is stronger.
bú shì wú shēng wú xī ， ér shì yǒu fēng léi zhī shēng zhí jiē chuán rù le ěr lǐ 。
不是无声无息，而是有风雷之声直接传入了耳里。
Whale vs. White Tiger!
lán máng shǎn shuò ， suǒ yǒu de guāng huá wǎng zhōng jiān yī jù ， yī tóu jù dà de mǒ xiāng jīng chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ ， zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， nà yá chǐ què bǐ hǔ jīng hái yào fēng lì ， gèng shèng sì shā yú ， è hěn hěn de cháo zhe lín xuān yǎo le guò qù 。
蓝芒闪烁，所有的光华往中间一聚，一头巨大的抹香鲸出现在了视线里，张开血盆大口，那牙齿却比虎鲸还要锋利，更胜似鲨鱼，恶狠狠的朝着林轩咬了过去。
In an instant, they clashed, and instead of a gale force wind, a spiritual energy vortex was created. The commotion was so intense that it was difficult to describe in words.
lín xuān jiàn le cǐ mù ， yě shì sī háo dān gē zhī yì yě wú ， yáng qǐ tóu ， chū yī shēng zhèn tiān jià bān de dà hǒu ， měng rán jiāng shǒu zhōng de guāng qiú cháo zhe qián fāng kuáng tuī ér chū 。
林轩见了此幕，也是丝毫耽搁之意也无，扬起头，出一声震天价般的大吼，猛然将手中的光球朝着前方狂推而出。
The ice plain began to melt, the entire space trembling. The residual shockwaves seemed capable of destroying everything. The Poison Dragon had already retreated far away, his face filled with shock.
shuí pà shuí ， duì pèng 。
谁怕谁，对碰。
After this scene, he no longer sought revenge against Lin Xuan; all he wanted was to remove any restrictions placed on him and retreat as far as possible.
zhēn líng yī jī yǔ qián kūn yī quán xiá lù xiāng féng 。
真灵一击与乾坤一拳狭路相逢。
Though unwilling to admit it, he was genuinely impressed by Lin Xuan’s strength—or rather, terrified. Hiding would be useless; this kid was too formidable.
fēi dào bàn tú ， nà jù jí le tā hún shēn fǎ lì de guāng qiú dùn shí pò liè le ，mí nǐ bǎn de bái hǔ nù hǒu zhe chōng le chū lái ， tǐ xíng bào zhǎng ， hěn kuài shēn cháng jiù guò le sān zhàng ， suī rán yǔ mǒ xiāng jīng de xū yǐng xiāng bǐ ， yī jiù bù zhí yī tí ， rán ér bái hǔ què méi yǒu rèn hé wèi jù ， qì shì xiāo zhāng wú bǐ ， yǐ léi tíng wàn jūn zhī shì ， hěn hěn de xiàng zhe qián miàn pū le guò qù 。
飞到半途，那聚集了他浑身法力的光球顿时破裂了，mí你版的白虎怒吼着冲了出来，体型暴涨，很快身长就过了三丈，虽然与抹香鲸的虚影相比，依旧不值一提，然而白虎却没有任何畏惧，气势嚣张无比，以雷霆万钧之势，狠狠的像着前面扑了过去。
Lin Xuan's power was evident, but the Whale King was no mere pretender—mid-stage accomplished cultivator, a clan king. Lin Xuan had not yet reached the point where he could challenge him.
shuí qiáng shuí ruò ， bìng bú shì yǐ tǐ xíng jué dìng de 。
谁强谁弱，并不是以体型决定的。
In truth, this direct confrontation was extremely disadvantageous for Lin Xuan and might even be considered foolish.
jù jīng zhàn bái hǔ ！
巨鲸战白虎！
Indeed, it was foolish; facing an opponent stronger than himself, the best choice was to avoid a direct clash and instead engage in maneuvering. But Lin Xuan knew this well; at this moment, he had no other choice.
xià yī kè ， shuāng fāng yǐ hōng rán duì pèng ， suǒ guā qǐ de ， bù zài shì gāng fēng ， ér shì líng lì xuán fēng ， nà shēng shì ， yī shí jiān ， hěn nán yòng yán yǔ xíng róng 。
下一刻，双方已轰然对碰，所刮起的，不再是罡风，而是灵力旋风，那声势，一时间，很难用言语形容。
If he did not use True Spirit One Strike, his opponent’s powerful move would still come.
suǒ guò zhī chù ， bīng yuán yě kāi shǐ wǎ jiě le ， zhěng gè kōng jiān dōu chàn dǒu bù yǐ ， guāng shì yú bō ， fǎng fú dōu yōng yǒu huǐ tiān miè dì de wēi lì ， dú lóng zǎo yǐ duǒ dào le yuǎn chù ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì hài rán zhī sè 。
所过之处，冰原也开始瓦解了，整个空间都颤抖不已，光是余波，仿佛都拥有毁天灭地的威力，毒龙早已躲到了远处，脸上满是骇然之色。
Between two evils, he chose the lesser one. Despite knowing that using True Spirit One Strike was not a smart choice, Lin Xuan could only grit his teeth and use it.
jīng cǐ yí mù ， tā zài yě méi yǒu tóng lín xuān zhǎo chǎng zi de xiǎng fǎ le ， yī xīn zhǐ pàn wàng zhe ， néng jiāng duì fāng xià zài zì jǐ shēn shàng de jìn zhì jiě chú ， rán hòu duǒ dé yuǎn yuǎn de 。
经此一幕，他再也没有同林轩找场子的想法了，一心只盼望着，能将对方下在自己身上的禁制解除，然后躲得远远的。
To be honest, this technique was indeed formidable.
suī rán bù yuàn yì chéng rèn ， dàn tā què shí bèi lín xuān de shí lì suǒ zhèn hàn ， huò zhě shuō xià pò le dǎn 。
虽然不愿意承认，但他确实被林轩的实力所震撼，或者说吓破了胆。
The White Tiger shadow faced a sperm whale ten times its size but showed no fear. However, in the end, it still could not withstand the attack. After a brief standoff, the White Tiger’s head was bitten off by the sperm whale.
yǎn shì méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， zhè xiǎo zi tài kě pà le 。
掩饰没有用处，这小子太可怕了。
With a loud explosion, the True Spirit One Strike shattered and exploded fiercely. The sperm whale was engulfed but did not disintegrate; its size simply decreased slightly.
lín xuān de qiáng shì yǒu mù gòng dǔ ， rán ér jù jīng wáng ， yòu zěn me kě néng shì shuǐ huò ， tā kě shì zhōng qī dà chéng de xiū xiān zhě ， yī zú zhī wáng ， lín xuān hái méi qiáng dào néng gòu tiǎo zhàn tā de dì bù 。
林轩的强是有目共睹，然而巨鲸王，又怎么可能是水货，他可是中期大成的修仙者，一族之王，林轩还没强到能够挑战他的地步。
P.S.: I recommend Fairy Xiayan's "Demon Cultivator Ascends to Immortality," book number 1652383.
qí shí xiàn zài de yìng pèng ， duì lín xuān lái shuō ， shì fēi cháng bù lì ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， yǒu xiē yú chǔn de 。
其实现在的硬碰，对林轩来说，是非常不利，甚至可以说，有些愚蠢的。
A child burdened with a mission is born into the family of an alchemy cultivator. Watch as he grows in the cultivation world until reaching the pinnacle of the Way.
