第两千零六十一章树倒猢狲散
Chapter 2061: When the Tree Falls, Monkeys Scatter
qiān jīn zhī zi bù zuò chuí táng ， nà jiā huo ， yě bù zhī dào shì dǎn xiǎo rú shǔ ， hái shì tài guò jǐn shèn de yuán gù ， jū rán duǒ zài gǔ mó dà jūn de zuì shēn chù 。
千金之子不坐垂堂，那家伙，也不知道是胆小如鼠，还是太过谨慎的缘故，居然躲在古魔大军的最深处。
A son of a thousand gold does not sit near a dangerous hall. This fellow was either too timid or overly cautious; he hid deep within the ancient demon army.
rú guǒ huàn yí gè rén ， xiǎng yào qǔ qí shǒu jí ， hái zhēn yǒu nán dù ， bù guò duì lín xuān lái shuō ， zhè suàn bù liǎo shén me 。
如果换一个人，想要取其首级，还真有难度，不过对林轩来说，这算不了什么。
If it were anyone else, taking his head would have been difficult, but for Lin Xuan, this wasn’t an issue at all.
yǎn qián de gǔ mó wàng shàng qù wú biān wú jì ， dàn zài lín xuān yǎn zhōng ， bù guò shì yī qún tǔ jī wǎ gǒu ér yǐ ， jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán líng guāng sì shè ， zài shēn tǐ zhōu wéi pán xuán fēi wǔ ， bù tíng yǒu bīng zhuī huǒ qiú ， fán shì dǎng lù de gǔ mó ， quán bù bèi gé shā diào le 。
眼前的古魔望上去无边无际，但在林轩眼中，不过是一群土鸡瓦狗而已，九天明月环灵光四射，在身体周围盘旋飞舞，不停有冰锥火球，凡是挡路的古魔，全部被格杀掉了。
The ancient demons before him seemed endless, but in Lin Xuan’s eyes, they were merely a bunch of chickens and dogs. The Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring emitted radiating light as it circled around his body, continuously sending out ice daggers and fireballs that dispatched any ancient demons blocking the way.
lín xuān méi yǒu qǔ qiǎo ， jiù zhè yàng bà qì shí zú de xiàng duì fāng chōng guò qù le 。
林轩没有取巧，就这样霸气十足的像对方冲过去了。
Lin Xuan didn’t take the easy route; he charged forward with such dominance. No one could withstand him for even a single exchange of blows. In the end, the ancient demons retreated to either side, and Lin Xuan’s gaze swept over them, looking incredibly formidable.
tā suǒ dào zhī chù ， méi yǒu rén néng dǎng xià yī hé ， zuì hòu fā yī shēng hǎn ， gǔ mó men jū rán xiàng zhe liǎng páng tuì kāi ， lín xuān suǒ xiàng pì nì ， kàn shàng qù wēi fēng wú bǐ 。
他所到之处，没有人能挡下一合，最后发一声喊，古魔们居然向着两旁退开，林轩所向睥睨，看上去威风无比。
Lin Xuan ignored those who stepped aside, as his strength was evident. It didn’t make sense to bully weaklings. He continued charging towards the stone demon.
duì yú nà xiē ràng kāi de jiā huo ， lín xuān yě jiù tīng zhī rèn zhī le ， bì jìng tā de shí lì bǎi zài nǎ lǐ ， qī fù xiǎo lóu luō méi yǒu yì yì ， lín xuān jì xù xiàng shí mó chōng qù 。
对于那些让开的家伙，林轩也就听之任之了，毕竟他的实力摆在哪里，欺负小喽啰没有意义，林轩继续像石魔冲去。
Shoot the horse first; capture the king first. By eliminating the only Separation Period ancient demon among their ranks, it would greatly help the current situation. From a morale standpoint alone, this would be a devastating blow.
shè rén xiān shè mǎ ， qín zéi xiān qín wáng ， jiāng gǔ mó zhōng wéi yī de lí hé miè chú ， duì yǎn qián de jú miàn dà yǒu bāng zhù ， bié de zàn qiě bù tí ， jiù shì qì lái shuō ， jiāng huì shì huǐ miè xìng dǎ jī 。
射人先射马，擒贼先擒王，将古魔中唯一的离合灭除，对眼前的局面大有帮助，别的暂且不提，就士气来说，将会是毁灭xìng打击。
This was beyond doubt.
zhè yì diǎn ， jué wú kě yí 。
这一点，绝无可疑。
Lin Xuan’s progress was smooth, while the stone demon’s face showed signs of panic. However, he couldn’t avoid it and shouted, "I’ll fight to my death with you."
lín xuān de jìn zhǎn shí fēn shùn lì ， ér shí mó de liǎn shàng zé lù chū jīng huāng zhī sè， rán ér tā duǒ wú kě duǒ ， zuì hòu yī shēng bào hē ：“ wǒ yǔ nǐ pīn le 。”
林轩的进展十分顺利，而石魔的脸上则lù出惊慌之sè，然而他躲无可躲，最后一声暴喝：“我与你拼了。”
"Delighted," Lin Xuan’s lips curled into a mocking smile. He had already broken the Ice Soul Demon Ancestor’s soul fragment; what could a mere Separation Period ancient demon do?
“ qiú zhī bù dé 。” lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū jǐ fēn jī cháo zhī sè， lián bīng pò mó zǔ de fēn hún， dōu zhé yì zài zì jǐ de shǒu lǐ ， qū qū lí hé qī de gǔ mó ， nà bù jiù shì xià jiǔ de xiǎo cài me ？
“求之不得。”林轩的嘴角边lù出几分讥嘲之sè，连冰魄魔祖的分hún，都折翼在自己的手里，区区离合期的古魔，那不就是下酒的小菜么？
He would only explode if he had the qualifications.
pīn ， nà yě dé yǒu zī gé 。
拼，那也得有资格。
The stone demon was well aware of this as well. If there were other options, he wouldn’t have done it. But now, wasn’t he forced to this corner?
zhè yì diǎn ， shí mó qí shí yě shì xīn zhōng yǒu shù de 。
这一点，石魔其实也是心中有数的。
A fierce look flashed in his eyes as he charged towards Lin Xuan with great strides. The rumbling sound echoed into his ears; the momentum was formidable.
ruò yǒu bié de xuǎn zé ， tā duàn bú huì zhè me zuò ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zhè bú shì bèi bī zhì jué lù le me ？
若有别的选择，他断不会这么做，然而此时此刻，这不是被逼至绝路了么？
The nearby ancient demons looked up in admiration. Their leader’s courage was admirable—facing a powerful enemy without retreating, losing battles but not honor.
yǎn zhōng lì máng shǎn guò ， tā dà tà bù de xiàng lín xuān chōng guò lái le ， hōng lōng lóng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhì shǎo qì shì shàng fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
眼中厉芒闪过，他大踏步的像林轩冲过来了，轰隆隆的声音传入耳朵，至少气势上非同小可。
Around the stone demon, a violent aura enveloped him. Lin Xuan couldn’t help but notice this strange light in his eyes.
fù jìn de gǔ mó ， liǎn shàng dōu liú lù chū pèi fú zhī sè， shǒu lǐng dà rén yǒng qì kě jiā ， miàn duì qiáng dí ， háo bù tuì bì ， shū rén bù shū zhèn jiù shì zhè ge dào lǐ 。
附近的古魔，脸上都流lù出佩服之sè，首领大人勇气可嘉，面对强敌，毫不退避，输人不输阵就是这个道理。
Could it be…
ér shí mó de shēn tǐ zhōu wéi ， gèng shì yíng rào zhe yī gǔ kuáng bào zhī qì ， lín xuān jiàn le cǐ mù ， yǎn zhōng bù yóu de lù chū jī lǜ qí guài de guāng máng lái le 。
而石魔的身体周围，更是萦绕着一股狂暴之气，林轩见了此幕，眼中不由得lù出几率奇怪的光芒来了。
Lin Xuan had a vague guess.
nán dào shuō ……
难道说……
Though he wasn’t certain, given the current situation, such an outcome was highly possible. If faced with a powerful enemy that he couldn’t escape from and forced to a corner, he would likely choose self-destruction as his only option.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu le yì diǎn cāi cè 。
林轩心中隐隐有了一点猜测。
The opponent’s plan seemed well thought out, but would Lin Xuan let it succeed?
suī rán bù gǎn kěn dìng ， bù guò jiù mù qián de qíng kuàng lái shuō ， yīng gāi shì dà yǒu kě néng de ， ruò shì huàn zuò zì jǐ ， miàn duì dǎ bù guò de qiáng dí ， yòu wú fǎ táo tuō ， bèi bī zhì jué jìng de qíng kuàng xià ， kǒng pà yě zhǐ yǒu xuǎn zé zì bào yī tú 。
虽然不敢肯定，不过就目前的情况来说，应该是大有可能的，若是换做自己，面对打不过的强敌，又无法逃脱，被逼至绝境的情况下，恐怕也只有选择自爆一途。
If the opponent were to perish in a self-destructive explosion, the morale of the ancient demons might actually rise instead. A desperate soldier wins battles.
duì fāng de suàn pán dǎo shì dǎ dé bù cuò ， bù guò zì jǐ huì ràng rú yì me ？
对方的算盘倒是打得不错，不过自己会让如意么？
Lin Xuan wouldn’t allow this outcome.
ruò duì fāng yǐ zì bào de jié jú yǔn luò ， gǔ mó men dī shì qì shuō bù dìng fǎn ér huì bù jiàng fǎn shēng dì 。
若对方以自爆的结局陨落，古魔们的士气说不定反而会不降反升地。
As he saw the distance between them shrink to just over a thousand feet, Lin Xuan slowed his light and stopped on the spot. He then took a step forward, vanishing from sight as if he had teleported.
āi bīng bì shèng jiù shì zhè ge yuán lǐ 。
哀兵必胜就是这个原理。
Nine Heaven Microsteps!
lín xuān dāng rán bú huì fàng rèn zhè ge jié jú 。
林轩当然不会放任这个结局。
Following that, space rumbled as Lin Xuan crossed the thousand-foot gap and appeared beside the stone demon.
yǎn jiàn duì fāng jù lí zì jǐ ， yǐ jīng zhǐ shèng xià qiān zhàng zhī yuǎn ， lín xuān dùn guāng yī huǎn ， zài yuán dì tíng le xià lái ， suí hòu xiàng qián mài chū yī bù ， jiù guǐ yì de zài yuán dì shī qù zōng yǐng le 。
眼见对方距离自己，已经只剩下千丈之远，林轩遁光一缓，在原地停了下来，随后向前迈出一步，就诡异的在原地失去踪影了。
After centuries of refinement, this technique was truly wondrous, far beyond ordinary instantaneous teleportation.
jiǔ tiān wēi bù ！
九天微步！
The stone demon’s expression changed in shock. He wanted to self-destruct but wasn’t ready yet.
suí hòu ， kōng jiān bō dòng yì qǐ ， lín xuān yǐ jīng héng kuà qiān zhàng de jù lí ， chū xiàn zài le shí mó de shēn cè 。
随后，空间bō动一起，林轩已经横跨千丈的距离，出现在了石魔的身侧。
"Friend, do you want to die? I can make your wish come true."
jīng guò shù bǎi nián de mó lì ， cǐ shén tōng què rán yǐ xuán miào yǐ jí ， yuǎn fēi pǔ tōng de shùn yí kě yǐ bǐ nǐ 。
经过数百年的磨砺，此神通确然已玄妙以极，远非普通的瞬移可以比拟。
Lin Xuan’s sarcastic voice echoed in his ears as he waved his sleeve, sending a streak of green light flying out and into the stone demon's body.
shí mó dà jīng shī sè， tā shì xiǎng yào zì bào ， kě xiàn zài hái méi yǒu zhǔn bèi hǎo 。
石魔大惊失sè，他是想要自爆，可现在还没有准备好。
The demon's actions were immediately sealed off, and its internal power was no longer under control.
“ dào yǒu shì bú shì bù xiǎng huó ， lín mǒu kě yǐ ràng nǐ chèn xīn rú yì 。”
“道友是不是不想活，林某可以让你称心如意。”
"You…"
lín xuān lüè dài jī fěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zài shuō huà de tóng shí ， shǒu zhōng yě méi yǒu xián zhe ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào qīng xiá fēi juǎn ér chū 。
林轩略带讥讽的声音传入耳朵，在说话的同时，手中也没有闲着，袖袍一拂，一道青霞飞卷而出。
The demon was both terrified and angry. He had just said one word before his voice gave out; his face showed mixed emotions of frustration and fear.
suí hòu qīng qīng yī zhuǎn ， yǐ mò rù le shí mó de shēn tǐ lǐ miàn 。
随后轻轻一转，已没入了石魔的身体里面。
But who provoked Lin Xuan? The disparity in their strength was too great, and the opponent’s rich experience in combat made such a result unsurprising.
cǐ mó de dòng zuò dùn shí bèi fēng zhù ， tǐ nèi de fǎ lì yě bù shòu kòng zhì le 。
此魔的动作顿时被封住，体内的法力也不受控制了。
"Friend, do you want to self-destruct? I can help."
“ nǐ ……”
“你……”
Lin Xuan’s teasing voice entered his ears, making the demon’s lungs ready to burst. Yet, he couldn’t move.
cǐ mó yòu jīng yòu nù ， rán ér gāng gāng shuō le yí gè zì jiù lián shēng yīn dōu fā bù chū ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， nà shì jì biē qū ， yòu jīng kǒng 。
此魔又惊又怒，然而刚刚说了一个字就连声音都发不出，脸上的表情，那是既憋屈，又惊恐。
Lin Xuan extended his right hand, pressing it on top of the stone demon's head. His entire palm was enveloped in a spiritual glow, but he wasn't performing a soul extraction; instead, he injected five-element essence qi into the demon's body.
rán ér shuí ràng tā zhāo rě lín xuān le ， liǎng zhě de shí lì ， xiāng chà tài dà ， duì fāng dòu fǎ jīng yàn yòu fēng fù ， yǒu zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， nà shì sī háo yě bù zú wéi qí de 。
然而谁让他招惹林轩了，两者的实力，相差太大，对方斗法经验又丰富，有这样的结果，那是丝毫也不足为奇的。
The process took only an instant. Lin Xuan then grabbed the stone demon’s arm and lifted him high above his head. Despite being a large figure, Lin Xuan’s strength far surpassed that of his peers among the beast races, making it easy to lift him over his head.
“ dào yǒu kě shì xiǎng bù kāi yào zì bào ， zài xià kě yǐ zuò zuò hǎo shì ， bāng dào yǒu yī bǎ máng de 。”
“道友可是想不开要自爆，在下可以做做好事，帮道友一把忙的。”
"What does this old monster want?"
lín xuān tiáo kǎn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jiāng shí mó fèi dōu yào qì zhà le ， piān piān què dòng tán bù dé 。
林轩调侃的声音传入耳朵，将石魔肺都要气炸了，偏偏却动弹不得。
Thoughts raced through the stone demon's mind as he felt himself flying like riding a cloud or chariot.
lín xuān shēn chū yòu shǒu ， xū àn zài tā tóu dǐng zhī shàng ， zhěng gè shǒu zhǎng ， dōu bèi líng guāng bāo guǒ ， rán ér bìng bú shì zài shī zhǎn sōu hún zhī shù ， ér shì jiāng wǔ xíng líng lì ， zhù rù duì fāng de shēn tǐ 。
林轩伸出右手，虚按在他头顶之上，整个手掌，都被灵光包裹，然而并不是在施展搜hún之术，而是将五行灵力，注入对方的身体。
"Bang!"
zhěng gè guò chéng bù guò shì xū yú ， suí hòu lín xuān zhuā zhù duì fāng de shǒu bì ， jiāng shí mó gāo gāo jǔ qǐ ， tā de shēn cái què shí pǒ wèi kuí wú ， rán ér lín xuān lì qì zhī dà ， hái yào yuǎn shèng tóng jiē yāo zú ， jiāng tā jǔ guò tóu dǐng ， zì rán shì méi yǒu shén me yā lì de 。
整个过程不过是须臾，随后林轩抓住对方的手臂，将石魔高高举起，他的身材确实颇为魁梧，然而林轩力气之大，还要远胜同阶妖族，将他举过头顶，自然是没有什么压力的。
In the next moment, he crashed into the ancient demons' central camp. There were many there, and their cultivation was relatively high compared to others.
“ zhè lǎo guài wù jiū jìng xiǎng yào gàn shén me ？”
“这老怪物究竟想要干什么？”
Due to Lin Xuan’s swift action, those nearby couldn’t dodge in time; several were broken bones and dislocated limbs. However, considering their vast numbers, this wasn’t significant.
shí mó nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， què gǎn jué zì jǐ rú téng yún jià wù ， sōu de yī xià xiàng yuǎn chù fēi qù le 。
石魔脑海中念头转过，却感觉自己如腾云驾雾，嗖的一下向远处飞去了。
Was that all his method entailed?
“ pēng ！”
“嘭！”
Of course not.
xià yī kè ， tā hěn hěn de zá luò dào le gǔ mó de zhōng jūn chù ， nà lǐ bù jǐn rén duō ， ér qiě gǔ mó de xiū wèi xiāng duì lái shuō ， yě shì zuì gāo de 。
下一刻，他狠狠的砸落到了古魔的中军处，那里不仅人多，而且古魔的修为相对来说，也是最高的。
He clutched both hands together and whispered, "Break!"
yóu yú lín xuān dòng zuò tài guò xùn sù ， nà xiē gǔ mó gēn běn jiù lái bù jí duǒ ， bèi zá zhōng de jǐ gè ， jīn duàn gǔ zhé ， dāng rán ， xiāng duì yú tā men kě pà de shù liàng lái shuō ， bù suàn shén me 。
由于林轩动作太过迅速，那些古魔根本就来不及躲，被砸中的几个，筋断骨折，当然，相对于他们可怕的数量来说，不算什么。
The stone demon felt his internal power surge with violence. His face showed fear, but he couldn’t move.
rán ér lín xuān de shǒu duàn jiù zhè me jiǎn dān me ？
然而林轩的手段就这么简单么？
"Bang!"
nà dāng rán shì bù kě néng de 。
那当然是不可能的。
A loud explosion shook the space as a series of forceful winds appeared. Within several miles, tens of thousands of ancient demons were swept up. These were elite troops from the demon army; their self-destruction in the Separation Period hadn’t had such power. However, Lin Xuan had injected much of his own essence qi into him.
zhǐ jiàn tā shuāng shǒu yī wò ， kǒu zhōng qīng chì shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ pò ！”
只见他双手一握，口中轻叱声传入耳朵：“破！”
Self-destructing now not only didn’t trouble Lin Xuan but turned him into a fish on a chopping block or a marionette. The result was that many ancient demons were killed, significantly impacting the morale of the remaining ones and making the situation more favorable for the human and beast alliance.
shí mó dùn shí gǎn jué tǐ nèi de fǎ lì kuáng bào qǐ lái le ， tā liǎn shàng mǎn shì wèi jù zhī sè， rán ér què dòng tán bù dé 。
石魔顿时感觉体内的法力狂暴起来了，他脸上满是畏惧之sè，然而却动弹不得。
...
“ pēng ！”
“嘭！”
Half an hour later.
bào liè shēng dà zuò ， zhěng gè kōng jiān ， dōu fǎng fú hěn hěn de yáo huàng le yī xià ， yī dào dào gāng fēng píng kōng ér qǐ ， fāng yuán shù lǐ ， zú yǒu qī bā wàn gǔ mó bèi juǎn le jìn qù ， zhè bù fèn gǔ mó ， kě shì mó zú dà jūn de jīng ruì lái zhe ， yuán běn yī lí hé qī de shí mó zì bào ， shì méi yǒu zhè yàng wēi lì lái zhe ， bù guò lín xuān gāng cái ， què shì jiāng zì jǐ de xǔ duō fǎ lì ， zhù rù tā shēn tǐ zhī zhōng 。
爆裂声大做，整个空间，都仿佛狠狠的摇晃了一下，一道道罡风凭空而起，方圆数里，足有七八万古魔被卷了进去，这部分古魔，可是魔族大军的精锐来着，原本一离合期的石魔自爆，是没有这样威力来着，不过林轩刚才，却是将自己的许多法力，注入他身体之中。
News of the main base’s destruction and all leaders’ deaths spread through the demon army like wildfire. Fear quickly spread among them. Although the ancient demons were brave, they had their limits. With all leaders dead, wasn’t it insane to continue fighting?
tóng yàng shì zì bào ， rán ér bù jǐn méi yǒu duì lín xuān zào chéng fèn háo de kùn rǎo ， fǎn ér chéng le zhēn bǎn shàng de yú ， huò zhě shuō chě xiàn mù ǒu ， zuì hòu de jié guǒ ， què shì shā shāng le dà liàng de gǔ mó ， rú cǐ yī lái ， zào chéng de yǐng xiǎng kě jiù bù yí yàng le ， gǔ mó men shì qì dī luò ， jú miàn yuè fā de duì rén lèi yǔ yāo zú lián jūn yǒu lì le 。
同样是自爆，然而不仅没有对林轩造成分毫的困扰，反而成了砧板上的鱼，或者说扯线木偶，最后的结果，却是杀伤了大量的古魔，如此一来，造成的影响可就不一样了，古魔们士气低落，局面越发的对人类与妖族联军有利了。
Soon, some ancient demons became deserters.
……
……
One led to another; more and more fled as if dominoes falling. Even those who tried to resist couldn’t change the overall situation.
bàn rì hòu 。
半日后。
After about an hour, the entire demon army collapsed. When the tree falls, so do the monkeys. The stubborn ones were exterminated, and the rest ran away.
Chapter 2061: When the Tree Falls, Monkeys Scatter
A son of a thousand gold does not sit near a dangerous hall. This fellow was either too timid or overly cautious; he hid deep within the ancient demon army.
