“ zhù jī hòu qī ， nǐ yě shì liàn chéng le dì liù céng gōng fǎ de xiū shì ？”
“筑基后期，你也是练成了第六层功法的修士？”
"Sixth-layer cultivation technique? You've also mastered a top-grade cultivation method in the late Foundation Establishment stage?"
hú fán de liǎn shàng mǎn shì jīng kǒng ， qì jí bài huài de dà jiào qǐ lái le ， bù kě néng ， zì jǐ míng míng yòng líng yǎn shù chá kàn guò ， nán dào duì fāng jū rán yǒu yǐn cáng xiū wèi zhè zhǒng nì tiān de shén tōng ？
胡凡的脸上满是惊恐，气急败坏的大叫起来了，不可能，自己明明用灵眼术查看过，难道对方居然有隐藏修为这种逆天的神通？
Hu Fan's face was filled with terror as he shouted angrily. It was impossible! He had clearly used Spirit Eye Technique to check, so how could his opponent actually have hidden cultivation prowess?
lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī bù xiè ， shǒu shàng qīng guāng dà shèng ， nà guǐ shé jiàn rú shòu léi jī ， tíng zhǐ le zhēng zhá ， lǎo lǎo shí shí de bèi tā wò zài le zhǎng zhōng 。
林轩眼中闪过一丝不屑，手上青光大盛，那鬼蛇剑如受雷击，停止了挣扎，老老实实的被他握在了掌中。
A trace of disdain flashed across Lin Xuan’s eyes. A bright green light enveloped his hand, and the ghost snake sword stopped struggling, obediently held in his palm.
hú fán tūn le yī kǒu tuò mò ， jué de mǎn zuǐ kǔ sè ， yuán běn xiǎng yào shā rén qiǎng bǎo ， nǎ zhī dào tī dào tiě bǎn le ， zhè xiǎo zi bù jǐn xiū wèi jìng jiè yǔ zì jǐ xiāng tóng ， ér qiě suǒ xí de kěn dìng shì dǐng jiē gōng fǎ ， guǐ yì ér qiáng dà 。
胡凡吞了一口唾沫，觉得满嘴苦涩，原本想要杀人抢宝，哪知道踢到铁板了，这小子不仅修为境界与自己相同，而且所习的肯定是顶阶功法，诡异而强大。
Hu Fan swallowed hard, feeling a bitter taste in his mouth. He had originally intended to kill and steal treasure but now realized he had kicked a hornet's nest. Not only was this young man at the same cultivation stage as him, but he definitely practiced a top-grade cultivation technique—strange and powerful.
zì jǐ méi yǒu jī huì qǔ shèng le ， zài bù zǒu ， kǒng pà lián xiǎo mìng dū huì sòng diào ！
自己没有机会取胜了，再不走，恐怕连小命都会送掉！
There was no chance for victory; if he didn't leave soon, his life might be in danger!
huái zhe mǎn qiāng de yuàn dú ， hú fán hěn hěn de dèng le yī yǎn lín xuān ， zhǐ jiàn tā xiù páo yī fú ， yī zhāng fú bèi jì le qǐ lái 。
怀着满腔的怨毒，胡凡狠狠的瞪了一眼林轩，只见他袖袍一拂，一张符被祭了起来。
With a full heart of resentment, Hu Fan glared at Lin Xuan. As he waved his sleeves, a talisman appeared in the air.
“ hū ” de yī shēng ， nà fú wú fēng zì rán ， bào chéng yī tuán huǒ qiú ， zhí jìng zú yǒu liǎng sān mǐ nà me dà ， jiā zhe jīng rén de shēng shì ， xiàng lín xuān dāng tóu zá le guò lái 。
“呼”的一声，那符无风自燃，爆成一团火球，直径足有两三米那么大，夹着惊人的声势，像林轩当头砸了过来。
"Whoosh," the talisman ignited on its own and exploded into a fireball with a diameter of several meters. It crashed down on Lin Xuan with a tremendous force.
zhì yú hú fán ， zé háo bù tíng liú ， huà wèi yī dào chì hóng sè de guāng máng ， xiàng zhe yuǎn chù táo zǒu 。
至于胡凡，则毫不停留，化为一道赤红色的光芒，向着远处逃走。
Meanwhile, Hu Fan transformed into a streak of red light and fled towards the distance.
“ diāo chóng xiǎo jì ！”
“雕虫小技！”
"Trivial trick!"
lín xuān shén sè dàn rán ， zhāng kāi kǒu ， pēn chū yī duì wú gōu ， nà wú gōu biǎo miàn ， yǒu zhe dàn lán sè de huǒ yàn ， yíng fēng jiù zhǎng ， zhuǎn shùn jìng rán huà wèi le yī tóu shí yú zhàng zhǎng de páng bó jù lóng ， zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， jiāng yíng miàn ér lái de huǒ qiú tūn rù le fù zhōng 。
林轩神色淡然，张开口，喷出一对吴钩，那吴钩表面，有着淡蓝色的火焰，迎风就涨，转瞬竟然化为了一头十余丈长的磅礴巨龙，张开血盆大口，将迎面而来的火球吞入了腹中。
Lin Xuan remained calm as he opened his mouth and spat out a pair of Wu Gou swords. The surface of these swords was covered in pale blue flames that swelled as they met the wind, transforming into a massive dragon over ten meters long within an instant. It opened its blood-stained maw to swallow the incoming fireball.
dùn guāng zhōng dì hú fán qià hǎo huí tóu wàng le yī yǎn 。 kàn dào zhè yí mù xià dé xīn dǎn jù liè 。 hún shēn fǎ lì quán kāi 。 nà dùn guāng gèng shì kuài dì yǒu rú jīng léi shǎn diàn 。
遁光中地胡凡恰好回头望了一眼。看到这一幕吓得心胆俱裂。浑身法力全开。那遁光更是快地有如惊雷闪电。
In the midst of his escape, Hu Fan turned around and saw this scene, his heart and soul trembling with fear. His magical power surged, making his retreat even faster than lightning.
kě xī méi yòng ！
可惜没用！
Unfortunately, it was in vain!
lín xuān shuāng shǒu tái qǐ 。 mǔ zhǐ tóng shí chōng zhe tóu dǐng shàng dì jù lóng diǎn chū yī dào fǎ jué 。 nà jù lóng pán xuán le yī quān zhī hòu 。 yòu xùn sù suō xiǎo 。 xiàng zhe hú fán zhuī qù le 。
林轩双手抬起。拇指同时冲着头顶上地巨龙点出一道法诀。那巨龙盘旋了一圈之后。又迅速缩小。向着胡凡追去了。
Lin Xuan raised both hands and simultaneously pointed a spell at the dragon above him. The dragon circled once before quickly shrinking back to chase Hu Fan.
sù dù zhī kuài 。 bù kě sī yì 。 jī hū zhǎ yǎn jiān 。 jiù suō duǎn dào le jǐn shèng bǎi yú zhàng dì jù lí 。
速度之快。不可思议。几乎眨眼间。就缩短到了仅剩百余丈地距离。
The speed was incredible; within an instant, the distance between them had shrunk to just over a hundred meters.
hú fán dà jīng shī sè 。 zhè shí hòu duǒ bì dōu lái bù jí le 。 hún shēn líng lì yǒng dòng 。 yī céng hóng sè dì hù zhào jiāng tā bāo guǒ qí zhōng 。
胡凡大惊失色。这时候躲避都来不及了。浑身灵力涌动。一层红色地护罩将他包裹其中。
Hu Fan was shocked. He couldn't even think of dodging in time. His magical power surged, enveloping him in a layer of red protective shield.
rán ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì chuí sǐ zhēng zhá 。 qū qū líng lì hù dùn 。 rú hé chéng shòu dé zhù wú gōu dì quán lì yī jī 。 cī lā yī shēng 。 hù zhào yǒu rú shuǐ pào bān pò miè 。 dùn guāng bèi jī luò 。 yī tuán yàn lì dì xuè huā bào kāi zài kōng qì lǐ 。
然而这仅仅是垂死挣扎。区区灵力护盾。如何承受得住吴钩地全力一击。刺啦一声。护罩有如水泡般破灭。遁光被击落。一团艳丽地血花爆开在空气里。
However, this was merely a last-ditch effort. A mere protective shield could not withstand the full force of Wu Gou's attack. With a hiss, the shield shattered like a water bubble, and Hu Fan’s escape light was struck down. A vivid blood flower bloomed in the air.
kàn zhe zhuì luò xià qù de shī tǐ ， lín xuān yǎn zhōng lì sè yī shǎn ér guò ， hún shēn hēi máng yī shǎn 。 zhěng gè rén jìng rán biàn dé guǐ qì sēn sēn qǐ lái 。
看着坠落下去的尸体，林轩眼中厉色一闪而过，浑身黑芒一闪。整个人竟然变得鬼气森森起来。
Seeing the fallen body, Lin Xuan's expression turned fierce as he emitted black light from his body, making him look ghostly.
tái qǐ shǒu ， xū kōng yī zhuā ， wǔ zhǐ jiān 。 jī shè chū lǚ lǚ hēi sè de sī xiàn ， bù jǐn jiāng duì fāng dì chǔ wù dài shōu le huí lái ， ér qiě hái qiú jìn zhù yī mǔ zhǐ dà xiǎo de guāng tuán 。
抬起手，虚空一抓，五指间。激射出缕缕黑色的丝线，不仅将对方地储物袋收了回来，而且还囚禁住一拇指大小的光团。
He raised his hand and grabbed at empty space, releasing several threads of black silk that not only retrieved Hu Fan’s storage bag but also imprisoned a small light ball about the size of his thumb.
nà jiù shì xiū shì de hún pò ！
那就是修士的魂魄！
That was the soul of an cultivator!
duì yú dí rén ， lín xuān shì bú huì shǒu xià liú qíng de ， xīn ruǎn huì zāo tiān qiǎn 。
对于敌人，林轩是不会手下留情的，心软会遭天谴。
Lin Xuan had no mercy for enemies; compassion would invite divine retribution.
zhí jiē jiāng jīng hún sāi rù bǎi hún fān zhōng ， duì yú mó qì lái shuō ， cǐ wù kě shì dà bǔ 。
直接将精魂塞入百魂幡中，对于魔器来说，此物可是大补。
He stuffed the essence spirit into the Hundred Souls Banner, which was indeed nourishing to amagical artifact.
zhè shì lín xuān bì guān chōng jī zhù jī hòu qī chéng gōng yǐ hòu dì yī cì yǔ rén dòng shǒu ， miè shā tóng jiē xiū shì jū rán méi yǒu fèi shén me bō zhé 。
这是林轩闭关冲击筑基后期成功以后第一次与人动手，灭杀同阶修士居然没有费什么波折。
This was Lin Xuan's first encounter after successfully breaking through to late Foundation Establishment. Killing a peer in one fell swoop proved surprisingly easy.
kàn lái dāng chū jiān xiū zhèng mó liǎng dà shén gōng guǒ rán shì zhèng què xuǎn zé ， suī rán kǔ le yì diǎn 。 dàn huí bào jué duì zhí de 。
看来当初兼修正魔两大神功果然是正确选择，虽然苦了一点。但回报绝对值得。
It seemed his decision to practice both cultivation and magic techniques had been correct despite the hardships; the rewards were well worth it.
shǒu lǐ zhuā zhe chǔ wù dài ， lín xuān shén shí zài lǐ miàn lüè wēi yī sǎo ， lǐ miàn bié de dōng xī méi yǒu ， quán shì jīng shí ， shù liàng dào yě bù duō ， bù guò shù shí kē ér yǐ 。
手里抓着储物袋，林轩神识在里面略微一扫，里面别的东西没有，全是晶石，数量倒也不多，不过数十颗而已。
With the storage bag clutched in his hand, Lin Xuan’s mind scanned its contents with his spiritual sense. There was nothing else inside but dozens of medium-grade crystal stones.
dàn lín xuān liǎn shàng què méi yǒu yì diǎn shī wàng zhī yì ， fǎn ér xīn xǐ bù yǐ ， yuán yīn wú tā ， zhè xiē quán shì zhōng pǐn jīng shí a 。 àn zhào yǔ xià pǐn jīng shí yī huàn yì bǎi dì bǐ lì ， zhè cì de shōu huò dàng zhēn bù xiǎo 。
但林轩脸上却没有一点失望之意，反而欣喜不已，原因无他，这些全是中品晶石啊。按照与下品晶石一换一百地比例，这次的收获当真不小。
Despite this, Lin Xuan's face showed no disappointment; instead, he felt elated. These were all medium-grade crystals! At a ratio of one hundred to one for exchanging with lower-grade crystals, the harvest was indeed significant.
hái yǒu nà guǐ shé jiàn ， yě shì yī bù cuò de líng qì 。
还有那鬼蛇剑，也是一不错的灵器。
There was also that ghost snake sword, which was quite an excellent spiritual artifact.
qīng diǎn wán zhàn lì pǐn ， lín xuān háo bù tíng liú ， lì kè dùn guāng fēi xiàng le yuǎn chù 。 luò ， xuè xīng de bó shā zhèng zài jì xù zhe 。
清点完战利品，林轩毫不停留，立刻遁光飞向了远处。落，血腥的搏杀正在继续着。
After tallying his spoils, Lin Xuan did not linger but immediately flew towards the distance. The bloody battle continued.
bù guò qū qū yí gè jiāo yì huì de cān jiā zī gé ， xiū shì men wèi hé rú cǐ zhí zhuó ？
不过区区一个交易会的参加资格，修士们为何如此执着？
But why were cultivators soattachmentover a mere trading qualification?
lín xuān bù qīng chǔ ， cǐ shí tā zhōng yú zhǎo dào le mù líng shù 。
林轩不清楚，此时他终于找到了木灵树。
Lin Xuan didn't know, but he finally found the Wood Spirit Tree.
yī zhū bú dào liǎng mǐ gāo de zhí wù 。 shuō shì shù 。 dōu yǒu diǎn tài miǎn qiǎng le ， xī xī lā lā de zhī yè shàng 。 jié zhe liáo liáo shí jǐ gè mù líng guǒ 。
一株不到两米高的植物。说是树。都有点太勉强了，稀稀拉拉的枝叶上。结着寥寥十几个木灵果。
A plant less than two meters tall, it barely qualified as a tree with its sparse branches and leaves bearing only a few dozen Wood Spirit Fruits.
cǐ wù de líng qì bō dòng hěn ruò ， ruò fēi lín xuān dì shén shí yuǎn chāo tóng jiē xiū shì ， xiǎng yào zhǎo dào ， hái zhēn bù róng yì 。
此物的灵气波动很弱，若非林轩地神识远超同阶修士，想要找到，还真不容易。
The aura of this fruit was weak; if not for Lin Xuan's superior spiritual sense compared to his peers, finding it would have been difficult.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yī xǐ ， zhèng yào shàng qù zhāi qǔ mù líng guǒ ， què xiàng shì tū rán gǎn jué dào shén me ， biǎo qíng sà rán biàn dé jiāng yìng qǐ lái le 。
林轩心中一喜，正要上去摘取木灵果，却像是突然感觉到什么，表情飒然变得僵硬起来了。
Lin Xuan's heart leapt in joy. He was about to pick the fruits when he suddenly felt something and his expression turned rigid.
liǎng gǔ qì xī ， zhèng xùn jié wú bǐ de xiàng zhe zhè lǐ jiē jìn 。
两股气息，正迅捷无比的向着这里接近。
Two auras were rapidly approaching.
bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì tóng zǔ de xiū shì zhǎo dào le zhè lǐ 。
不用说，自然是同组的修士找到了这里。
It was clear that fellow cultivators had found this place.
lín xuān dì biǎo qíng yǒu xiē níng zhòng ， duì fāng fā xiàn mù líng guǒ zhǐ bǐ zì jǐ wǎn le yì diǎn diǎn ， zhèng míng tā de shén shí yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dà shì jìng dí 。
林轩地表情有些凝重，对方发现木灵果只比自己晚了一点点，证明他的神识也非同小可，大是劲敌。
Lin Xuan’s expression grew serious. His opponent discovered the Wood Spirit Fruits only slightly after him, proving his spiritual sense was formidable as well; he was undoubtedly a formidable adversary.
suī rán gāng cái miè hú fán méi yǒu fèi duō shǎo lì ， duì zì jǐ de shǒu duàn yě xìn xīn shí zú ， dàn lín xuān bìng bù gǎn jiù cǐ xiǎo kàn tiān xià yīng xióng 。
虽然刚才灭胡凡没有费多少力，对自己的手段也信心十足，但林轩并不敢就此小看天下英雄。
Although he hadn't expended much effort to defeat Hu Fan and was confident in his abilities, Lin Xuan did not underestimate the heroes of the world.
jiāo ào huì zāi gēn tou 。
骄傲会栽跟头。
Pride would lead to downfall.
xiū zhēn bǎi yì ， bó dà jīng shēn ，“ jiǔ tiān xuán gōng ” yǔ “ xuán mó zhēn jīng ” gù rán shén qí ， dàn dǐng jiē gōng fǎ bìng bú shì zhǐ yǒu zhè liǎng zhǒng ， ān zhī qí tā rén jiù méi yǒu jīng rén shén tōng 。
修真百艺，博大精深，“九天玄功”与“玄魔真经”固然神奇，但顶阶功法并不是只有这两种，安知其他人就没有惊人神通。
The myriad arts of cultivation were vast and profound. While "Nine Heavens Profound Technique" and "True Scripture of Profane Magic" were indeed miraculous, top-grade techniques weren't limited to these two; who knew if others possessed astonishing abilities?
zǒng zhī xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò 。
总之小心无大错。
In any case, caution was always the better part of valor.
duì fāng sù dù hěn kuài ， lín xuān lüè yī chén yín ， bìng méi yǒu duǒ ， yǐ duì fāng jī hū kě yǐ yǔ zì jǐ xiāng bǐ de shén shí ， chú fēi bǎi zhàng kāi wài ， fǒu zé jí shǐ shī zhǎn yǐn nì shù tā yě yǒu kě néng fā xiàn zì jǐ 。
对方速度很快，林轩略一沉吟，并没有躲，以对方几乎可以与自己相比的神识，除非百丈开外，否则即使施展隐匿术他也有可能发现自己。
His opponent's speed was fast. Lin Xuan hesitated briefly but did not retreat. With his opponent’s spiritual sense nearly matching his own, unless he was more than a hundred meters away, even using concealment techniques might reveal him.
ér zhēn lí kāi nà me yuǎn ， duì fāng jiāng mù líng guǒ zhāi zǒu le zì jǐ qǐ bù shì zhuī huǐ mò jí ？
而真离开那么远，对方将木灵果摘走了自己岂不是追悔莫及？
And if he left that far, wouldn't it be too late to retrieve the Wood Spirit Fruits?
xiǎo xīn jǐn shèn yī xiē bìng bù dài biǎo qiè ruò wèi jù ， lín xuān jué dìng táng táng zhèng zhèng de jiāng duì fāng jī bài 。
小心谨慎一些并不代表怯弱畏惧，林轩决定堂堂正正的将对方击败。
Being cautious didn't mean being cowardly; Lin Xuan decided to defeat his opponent openly and fairly.
zhè lǚ niàn tou gāng gāng zhuǎn wán ， nà liǎng dào dùn guāng jiù yǐ jīng fēi le guò lái ， yī hēi yī bái ， yán sè wán quán xiāng fǎn ， rán ér líng lì bō dòng què yòu pǒ wèi xiāng sì ， gǎn yìng dào zhè yì diǎn ， lín xuān fǎng fú xiǎng dào le shén me ， biǎo qíng yuè fā de nán kàn le qǐ lái 。
这缕念头刚刚转完，那两道遁光就已经飞了过来，一黑一白，颜色完全相反，然而灵力波动却又颇为相似，感应到这一点，林轩仿佛想到了什么，表情越发的难看了起来。
Just as this thought crossed his mind, the two streaks of light flew over. One was black, while the other was white, their colors contrasting sharply. However, their magical power fluctuations were quite similar. Upon sensing this, Lin Xuan's expression grew even more grim.
“ yí ， zhè ér hái yǒu yí gè xiǎo zi ？”
“咦，这儿还有一个小子？”
"Hey, there’s another young man here?"
guāng huá zài bàn kōng zhōng pán xuán le yī quān ， suí hòu cái là xià dì miàn ， cóng lǐ miàn xiàn chū le liǎng gè rén lái 。
光华在半空中盘旋了一圈，随后才落下地面，从里面现出了两个人来。
The light circled in mid-air before landing on the ground, revealing two people.
“ shì tā men ？”
“是他们？”
"Are they them?"
suī rán duō shǎo yǐ jīng cāi dào le ， rán ér yí dàn zhèng shí ， lín xuān xīn zhōng hái shì kǔ xiào bù yǐ 。
虽然多少已经猜到了，然而一旦证实，林轩心中还是苦笑不已。
Although he had guessed as much, confirming it made Lin Xuan chuckle bitterly.
zì jǐ jīn tiān de yùn qì hái zhēn shì zāo gāo dé kě yǐ ， tóng zǔ de sān gè zhù jī hòu qī de xiū zhēn zhě ， zì jǐ jū rán yí gè bù luò ， quán bù pèng jiàn le 。
自己今天的运气还真是糟糕得可以，同组的三个筑基后期的修真者，自己居然一个不落，全部碰见了。
Today was truly a day of bad luck. He had encountered all three late Foundation Establishment cultivators from his group.
ér qiě yǔ hú fán dì gū jiā guǎ rén bù tóng ， yǎn qián de liǎng rén kě shì yī duì shuāng shēng xiōng dì 。
而且与胡凡地孤家寡人不同，眼前的两人可是一对双生兄弟。
Moreover, unlike Hu Fan who was alone, these were twin brothers.
"Sixth-layer cultivation technique? You've also mastered a top-grade cultivation method in the late Foundation Establishment stage?"
Hu Fan's face was filled with terror as he shouted angrily. It was impossible! He had clearly used Spirit Eye Technique to check, so how could his opponent actually have hidden cultivation prowess?
"Hmph!"
A trace of disdain flashed across Lin Xuan’s eyes. A bright green light enveloped his hand, and the ghost snake sword stopped struggling, obediently held in his palm.
Hu Fan swallowed hard, feeling a bitter taste in his mouth. He had originally intended to kill and steal treasure but now realized he had kicked a hornet's nest. Not only was this young man at the same cultivation stage as him, but he definitely practiced a top-grade cultivation technique—strange and powerful.

With a full heart of resentment, Hu Fan glared at Lin Xuan. As he waved his sleeves, a talisman appeared in the air.

It opened its blood-stained maw to swallow the incoming fireball.
In the midst of his escape, Hu Fan turned around and saw this scene, his heart and soul trembling with fear. His magical power surged, making his retreat even faster than lightning.
Unfortunately, it was in vain!
Lin Xuan raised both hands and simultaneously pointed a spell at the dragon above him. The dragon circled once before quickly shrinking back to chase Hu Fan.
The speed was incredible; within an instant, the distance between them had shrunk to just over a hundred meters.

However, this was merely a last-ditch effort. A mere protective shield could not withstand the full force of Wu Gou's attack. With a hiss, the shield shattered like a water bubble, and Hu Fan’s escape light was struck down. A vivid blood flower bloomed in the air.
