“ shī mèi ！”
“师妹！”
"Junior Sister!"
líng xū zhēn rén yǔ rú páo xiū shì yòu jīng yòu nù ， bù guò liǎn shàng wèi jù de biǎo qíng gèng duō ， suī rán cóng chuàng pài zǔ shī de bǐ jì ， tā men yǐ jīng zhī dào tiān wài mó tóu bú shì yì yú ， dàn zuò mèng yě méi xiǎng dào ， huì biāo hàn zhì rú cǐ dì bù ， tù qǐ hú luò ， jiù jiāng zì jǐ de yí gè tóng mén miè shā le 。
灵虚真人与儒袍修士又惊又怒，不过脸上畏惧的表情更多，虽然从创派祖师的笔记，他们已经知道天外魔头不是易于，但做梦也没想到，会彪悍至如此地步，兔起鹘落，就将自己的一个同门灭杀了。
The True Immortal Ling Xu and the Confucian-robed cultivator were both shocked and angry. However, fear was more evident on their faces. Although they had already learned from their founder's notes that the demon from beyond the heavens was not an easy opponent, they never dreamed it would be so formidable—so much so that a swift strike could kill one of their own.
bù zhǐ tā men liǎng gè ， lín xuān cǐ kè ， xīn zhōng tā tóng yàng zài dǎ gǔ ， yǐ tā de shén tōng yǔ zhū bān bǎo wù ， duì shàng nà gōng zhuāng nǚ xiū ， qǔ shèng bù nán ， dàn miè shā dé rú cǐ gān jìng lì luò ， què shì xiǎng yě bié xiǎng de 。
不止他们两个，林轩此刻，心中他同样在打鼓，以他的神通与诸般宝物，对上那宫装女修，取胜不难，但灭杀得如此干净利落，却是想也别想的。
Not just these two, but Lin Xuan himself felt his heart pounding with unease at this moment. With his powers and various treasures, defeating the palace-robed female cultivator was not difficult. But to kill her cleanly and efficiently was beyond imagination.
ěr wén bù rú mù dǔ ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān jiǎn zhí yǒu luò huāng ér táo de chōng dòng le 。
耳闻不如目睹，此时此刻，林轩简直有落荒而逃的冲动了。
Hearing is not as reliable as seeing. At that moment, Lin Xuan had a strong urge to flee.
bù guò zhè ge niàn tou jǐn jǐn shì yī shǎn ér guò ， jiù bèi lín xuān yáo yáo tóu fǒu le ， dí rén gù rán kě bù ， dàn cǐ zhàn de shōu yì yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， piāo miǎo jiǔ xiān dān de zhǒng zhǒng hǎo chù ， lín xuān jué méi yǒu fàng qì yī shuō 。
不过这个念头仅仅是一闪而过，就被林轩摇摇头否了，敌人固然可怖，但此战的收益也是非同小可，飘渺九仙丹的种种好处，林轩绝没有放弃一说。
But this thought flashed through his mind only briefly before he shook his head and dismissed it. The enemy was terrifying, but the benefits of this battle were immense. Ling Xu could not abandon the idea of the Ethereal Nine Immortals Pill's many advantages.
hé kuàng tuì yī wàn bù ， jiù suàn cǐ kè tā kěn fàng qì bǎo wù ， bié rén jiù huì fàng tā lí kāi me ？
何况退一万步，就算此刻他肯放弃宝物，别人就会放他离开么？
Moreover, even if he chose to give up his treasures at this moment, would others let him leave?
bié tiān zhēn le ， nà xiǎn rán shì bù kě néng de 。
别天真了，那显然是不可能的。
Don't be naive; that was clearly impossible. Either he became the victor and successfully obtained the treasure or he perished here. There were only two paths before him—no third choice existed.
yào me chéng wéi shèng lì zhě ， chéng gōng qǔ dào bǎo wù ， yào me jiù yǔn luò zài cǐ chù ， bǎi zài yǎn qián de zhǐ yǒu zhè liǎng tiáo lù ， chú cǐ yǐ wài ， jué duì zài méi yǒu dì sān gè xuǎn zé 。
要么成为胜利者，成功取到宝物，要么就陨落在此处，摆在眼前的只有这两条路，除此以外，绝对再没有第三个选择。
This was obvious.
zhè yì diǎn shì xiǎn ér yì jiàn de 。
这一点是显而易见的。
Having clarified what choices he could make now, Lin Xuan's originally flustered expression calmed down. Riches lie in danger; Lin Xuan had experienced countless storms of blood and gore. He believed that this time too, he would be able to turn danger into safety.
rèn qīng le zì jǐ rú jīn suǒ néng zuò de xuǎn zé ， lín xuān yuán běn yǒu xiē huāng luàn de biǎo qíng chóng xīn chén jìng xià qù le ， fù guì xiǎn zhōng qiú ， lín xuān céng jīng lì xīng fēng xuè yǔ wú shù ， tā xiāng xìn zì jǐ zhè yī cì ， zuì zhōng yě shì néng gòu huà xiǎn wéi yí de 。
认清了自己如今所能做的选择，林轩原本有些慌乱的表情重新沉静下去了，富贵险中求，林轩曾经历腥风血雨无数，他相信自己这一次，最终也是能够化险为夷的。
Of course, how exactly to proceed still needed careful consideration.
dāng rán ， jù tǐ gāi zěn me zuò ， hái xū yào xì xì sī liáng yī fān de 。
当然，具体该怎么做，还需要细细思量一番的。
While Lin Xuan was strategizing, the first to face the demon from beyond the heavens wasn't him. After killing the palace-robed female cultivator, the demon's claw flashed and appeared before Su Yunfeng like a ghost. The two then merged into one; Su Yunfeng's aura doubled in power compared to just moments ago.
lín xuān zài nà lǐ móu huà ， shǒu xiān miàn duì tiān wài mó tóu de què bìng bú shì tā ， miè shā le gōng zhuāng nǚ xiū ， nà mó zhǎo yī shǎn ， rú tóng guǐ mèi bān de lái dào le sū yún fēng de miàn qián ， suí hòu liǎng zhě hé èr wéi yī ， sū yún fēng de qì shì ， yǔ gāng cái xiāng bǐ ， yòu zēng jiā le bèi xǔ 。
林轩在那里谋划，首先面对天外魔头的却并不是他，灭杀了宫装女修，那魔爪一闪，如同鬼魅般的来到了苏云峰的面前，随后两者合二为一，苏云峰的气势，与刚才相比，又增加了倍许。
"Hmm, not bad. This body is perfect for me. You two have prepared such a good body for this servant of mine. I will offer you both a blood sacrifice as a token of gratitude!"
“ hē hē ， bù cuò bù cuò ， zhè jù shēn tǐ ， jiǎn zhí tài hé shì le ， nǐ men liǎng rén ， wèi běn zūn zhǔn bèi le rú cǐ hǎo de shēn tǐ ， wǒ jiù jiāng nǐ men xuè jì yī fān ， zuò wéi bào dá ba ！”
“呵呵，不错不错，这具身体，简直太合适了，你们两人，为本尊准备了如此好的身体，我就将你们血祭一番，作为报答吧！”
Su Yunfeng's sinister voice echoed into their ears. Then he clapped his hands together, and his entire body was enveloped by thick demonic energy, transforming into a streak of light that rushed toward the two.
sū yún fēng yīn sēn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu liǎng shǒu wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé ， hún shēn shàng xià ， bèi nóng liè de mó qì bāo guǒ ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， xiàng liǎng rén zhuàng guò lái le 。
苏云峰yīn森的声音传入耳朵，随后两手往中间一合，浑身上下，被浓烈的魔气包裹，化为一道惊虹，像两人撞过来了。
Its momentum was fierce, akin to a comet crashing down.
qí shì měng è ， yǔ huì xīng luò dì xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
其势猛恶，与彗星落地相差仿佛。
The True Immortal Ling Xu and the Confucian-robed cultivator were constantly monitoring Su Yunfeng's actions. Seeing him make such a move, they were greatly alarmed and quickly cast spells to command their treasures. With the example of the palace woman's fall before them, they dared not be even slightly careless.
líng xū zhēn rén yǔ rú páo xiū shì shí kè guān zhù zhe sū yún fēng de jǔ dòng ， jiàn cǐ mó dòng shǒu ， wú bù dà jīng shī sè， máng qiā jué de qiā jué ， qū shǐ bǎo wù de qū shǐ bǎo wù ， yǒu gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ yǔn luò de qián chē zhī jiàn zài nà lǐ bǎi zhe ， rú lùn rú hé ， tā men yě jué bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo qīng hū 。
灵虚真人与儒袍修士时刻关注着苏云峰的举动，见此魔动手，无不大惊失sè，忙掐诀的掐诀，驱使宝物的驱使宝物，有宫装女子陨落的前车之鉴在那里摆着，如论如何，他们也绝不敢有分毫轻忽。
They now had their trump cards out.
rú jīn dōu ná chū le yā xiāng dǐ de gōng fu 。
如今都拿出了压箱底的功夫。
The purple aura surrounding the Confucian-robed cultivator burst forth like a gushing spring, the righteous energy so intense that it was truly remarkable for this person.
nà rú páo xiū shì shēn tǐ zhōu wéi de zǐ qì ， rú líng quán bào fā yì bān de pēn bó ， hào rán zhèng qì nóng liè dào rú cǐ chéng dù ， yě zhēn nán wéi cǐ rén le 。
那儒袍修士身体周围的紫气，如灵泉爆发一般的喷薄，浩然正气浓烈到如此程度，也真难为此人了。
But in an instant, this dense purple aura was sucked into the ancient book he had summoned. Instantly, the sound of reading could be heard.
dàn xià yī kè ， zhè nóng liè de zǐ qì jiù rú zhǎng jīng xī shuǐ yì bān ， yǒng rù le tā jì chū de nà běn gǔ shū lǐ miàn 。
但下一刻，这浓烈的紫气就如长鲸吸水一般，涌入了他祭出的那本古书里面。
However, this reading did not come from any ordinary library; it sounded more like the deep and ancient wisdom of a learned scholar studying scriptures, filled with profound meanings that were hard to grasp, making them seem exceedingly complex.
shà shí jiān ， jìng yǒu lǎng lǎng de dú shū shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
霎时间，竟有朗朗的读书声传入耳朵。
Several ancient characters sprang forth from the book. Lin Xuan could see them clearly, but these ancient texts were... how should he put it? Lin Xuan had seen many things in his life, yet he still couldn't recognize them; after all, he was not a Confucian cultivator and could only guess roughly.
rán ér ， nà dú shū shēng xiǎn rán bìng fēi lái zì pǔ tōng shū shè ， gèng xiàng shì shàng gǔ shí qī ， bǎo xué hóng rú yán jiū jīng wén yào yì ， suǒ fā chū de ， huì sè gǔ piáo ， zì zì yǐn hán miào yì ， xiǎn de shēn sè wú bǐ 。
然而，那读书声显然并非来自普通书社，更像是上古时期，饱学鸿儒研究经文要义，所发出的，晦涩古朴，字字隐含妙义，显得深涩无比。
It seemed to be about "spear" and "shield."
suí hòu ， jǐ gè gǔ zì ， yóu nà shū zhōng pēn bó ， lín xuān kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， kě nà shàng gǔ de wén zì ， shí zài qù …… zěn me shuō ne ， lín xuān yě suàn jiàn shí hěn duō ， kě yī jiù rèn bù chū ， tā bì jìng bú shì rú mén de xiū xiān zhě ， zhǐ néng dà gài de cāi shàng yī cāi 。
随后，几个古字，由那书中喷薄，林轩看得清清楚楚，可那上古的文字，实在去……怎么说呢，林轩也算见识很多，可依旧认不出，他毕竟不是儒门的修仙者，只能大概的猜上一猜。
In ancient times, the spear was the best weapon, while shields were naturally for defense.
shì “ máo ” zì yǔ “ dùn ” zì de kě néng xìng jū duō 。
是“矛”字与“盾”字的可能xìng居多。
This Confucian-robed cultivator had learned from his junior sister's lesson and did not merely defend but combined offense with defense. This secret technique was one of his trump cards, and as he used it, his essence energy actually weakened by half.
zài shàng gǔ zhī shí ， máo shì zuì hǎo de wǔ qì ， dùn bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì yòng yú fáng yù 。
在上古之时，矛是最好的武器，盾不用说，自然是用于防御。
On the other side, Ling Xu waved his whisk several times, and a series of sparkling sword lights appeared before him. These sword lights didn't just hover quietly; they rapidly circled around him, forming a protective barrier that was both offensive and defensive. Even water would find it hard to penetrate such sharp sword lights.
zhè rú páo xiū shì xī qǔ le shī mèi de jiào xùn ， bìng bù yī wèi fáng shǒu ， ér shì gōng fáng jié hé ， ér zhè tào mì shù ， yě shì tā yā xiāng dǐ de gōng fu ， suí zhe shī zhǎn ， hún shēn de líng lì ， jū rán jiǎn ruò le de xiǎo bàn 。
这儒袍修士吸取了师妹的教训，并不一味防守，而是攻防结合，而这套秘术，也是他压箱底的功夫，随着施展，浑身的灵力，居然减弱了的小半。
"Hmph, impressive powers. But thinking you can resist me with this is too foolish. Do you think you have any chance of escaping?"
lìng yī biān ， líng xū zhēn rén shǒu zhōng de fú chén lián shuǎi ， yī dào yòu yī dào de jīng yíng jiàn guāng fú xiàn zài yǎn qián ， sù dù jí kuài ， zhuǎn shùn zhī jiān ， jū rán yǐ yǒu shù bǎi dào jiàn guāng bèi biàn huàn chū lái 。
另一边，灵虚真人手中的拂尘连甩，一道又一道的晶莹剑光浮现在眼前，速度极快，转瞬之间，居然已有数百道剑光被变幻出来。
Ten feet in front of the two cultivators, the demonic streak suddenly stopped. However, this did not mean danger was over. Su Yunfeng's body transformed under that terrifying demonic energy into a huge demon head, its mouth abnormally large. It opened wide, and a sound wave could be seen emanating from his mouth.
zhè xiē jiàn guāng bìng méi yǒu jìng jìng de xuán fú ， ér shì yǐ jí kuài de sù dù zài tā de shēn zhōu pán xuán fēi wǔ ， rú cǐ yī lái ， zǔ chéng le yī gōng shǒu yī tǐ de bǎo hù mó ， miàn duì zhè me xī lì de jiàn guāng ， jiù suàn shì shuǐ ， yě xiū xiǎng pō dé jìn lái de 。
这些剑光并没有静静的悬浮，而是以极快的速度在他的身周盘旋飞舞，如此一来，组成了一攻守一体的保护膜，面对这么犀利的剑光，就算是水，也休想泼得进来的。
This sound wave did not disperse; instead, it was gathered by an unusual force and rushed toward the two cultivators.
“ hēng ， shén tōng bù cuò ， bù guò píng cǐ jiù xiǎng yào fǎn kàng běn zūn ， shí zài tài yú chǔn le ， nǐ men yǐ wéi zì jǐ yǒu jī huì táo chū shēng tiān me ？”
“哼，神通不错，不过凭此就想要反抗本尊，实在太愚蠢了，你们以为自己有机会逃出生天么？”
Just then, however, the demon's mouth was occupied with something else. Above him, another arrogant voice echoed: "If you insist on foolishly resisting this servant of mine, let me show you my Shockwave Demon Skill."
zài liǎng rén shēn qián shí yú zhàng yuǎn chù ， nà dào mó hóng zhòu rán tíng xià lái le ， rán ér zhè bìng bù yì wèi zhe wēi xiǎn jiù yǐ rán jiě chú ， sū yún fēng de shēn tǐ zài nà kě pà de mó qì zhōng zhòu rán biàn huà le ， huà wèi yī jù dà de è guǐ tóu lú ， zuǐ bā qí dà wú bǐ ， suí hòu zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， ròu yǎn kě jiàn de shēng bō， cóng tā de zuǐ lǐ mí sàn ér chū 。
在两人身前十余丈远处，那道魔虹骤然停下来了，然而这并不意味着危险就已然解除，苏云峰的身体在那可怕的魔气中骤然变化了，化为一巨大的恶鬼头颅，嘴巴奇大无比，随后张开血盆大口，肉眼可见的声bō，从他的嘴里弥散而出。
What a cunning fellow! Ordinary defenses would weaken or even be ineffective against sound wave attacks.
nà shēng bō bìng méi yǒu fēn sàn ， ér shì bèi yī gǔ qí yì de lì liàng jù hé zài yì qǐ ， xiàng liǎng míng xiū shì shā qù 。
那声bō并没有分散，而是被一股奇异的力量聚合在一起，像两名修士杀去。
By now, changing tactics was too late. The expressions of the two cultivators were different; the middle-aged man in the Confucian robes, despite his lesser strength, seemed more composed.
piān piān zhè shí hòu ， duì fāng zuǐ bā bù dé kōng ， kě tóu dǐng shàng kōng ， què hái yǒu yī xiāo zhāng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ fēi yào yú chǔn zhī jí de fǎn kàng běn zūn zhě ， nà jiù ràng nǐ men jiàn shí yī xià wǒ de zhèn bō mó gōng hǎo le 。”
偏偏这时候，对方嘴巴不得空，可头顶上空，却还有一嚣张的声音传入耳朵：“非要愚蠢之极的反抗本尊者，那就让你们见识一下我的震bō魔功好了。”
The secret technique he used had taken him centuries to master, but it was still only a superficial understanding because its owner was an extremely powerful cultivator at the Transcendence stage.
hǎo jiǎo huá de jiā huo ， yào zhī dào pǔ tōng de fáng yù ， miàn duì shēng bō lèi xíng de gōng jī ， huò duō huò shǎo dū huì bèi xuē ruò ， yǒu de ， shèn zhì shì wán quán méi yǒu xiào guǒ 。
好狡猾的家伙，要知道普通的防御，面对声bō类型的攻击，或多或少都会被削弱，有的，甚至是完全没有效果。
Although he didn't know much about it, he had considerable experience with both offense and defense. The shield was formidable; whether the opponent summoned treasures or attacked with sound waves, his defenses remained unchanged.
cǐ shí ， biàn zhāo yǐ jīng lái bù jí ， ér liǎng míng xiū shì de biǎo qíng ， yě shì gè yì ， rú páo zhōng nián rén jiù shí lì lái shuō ， kěn dìng shāo ruò ， rán ér piān piān ， tā de biǎo qíng yào zhèn dìng dé duō 。
此时，变招已经来不及，而两名修士的表情，也是各异，儒袍中年人就实力来说，肯定稍弱，然而偏偏，他的表情要镇定得多。
Boom!
tā rú jīn suǒ shī zhǎn de mì shù ， shì fèi le shù bǎi nián kǔ gōng cái cān wù ， rán ér suǒ de ， yī jiù shì yī xiē pí máo ， yīn wèi cǐ mì shù de zhǔ rén ， gēn běn jiù shì yī míng dù jié qī de kě pà dà néng de 。
他如今所施展的秘术，是费了数百年苦功才参悟，然而所得，依旧是一些皮毛，因为此秘术的主人，根本就是一名渡劫期的可怕大能的。
When the sound wave struck the defensive barrier, he only retreated three steps. However, Ling Xu's situation was not as fortunate.
suī rán tā zhǎng wò dé bù duō ， dàn duì gōng yǔ shǒu yě pǒ yǒu xīn dé ， nà dùn fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， guǎn duì fāng shì jì chū bǎo wù ， hái shì yòng yīn bō gōng jī ， fáng yù lì dōu shì yī yàng de 。
虽然他掌握得不多，但对攻与守也颇有心得，那盾非同小可，管对方是祭出宝物，还是用音bō攻击，防御力都是一样的。
Hundreds of sword lights used for defense were very sharp, but they had a significant weakness against sound wave attacks.
dāng yīn bō shā zhì ， yǔ fáng yù zhuàng zài yì qǐ ， tā jǐn jǐn shì hòu tuì le sān bù ， ér lìng yī biān ， líng xū zhēn rén jiù méi yǒu zhè me xìng yùn le 。
当音bō杀至，与防御撞在一起，他仅仅是后退了三步，而另一边，灵虚真人就没有这么幸运了。
Ling Xu's expression changed dramatically. But this time, he couldn't use any other means; sitting and waiting to die was also impossible.
yǐ shù bǎi jiàn guāng yǐ gōng dài shǒu ， fáng yù běn shì fēi cháng xī lì ， piān piān miàn duì yīn bō gōng jī ， què shì yǒu jí dà ruò diǎn dì 。
以数百剑光以攻代守，防御本是非常犀利，偏偏面对音bō攻击，却是有极大弱点地。
He took a deep breath, exhaled, and a命魂从丹田喷出，化作一道白雾，向对方的震波魔功冲击过去。
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
别小看命魂。吐这么一口，他至少要闭关打坐三五十年才能恢复，威力自然非同小可。
líng xū zhēn rén yǐ shì bó rán biàn sè， kě zhè diǎn shí jiān ， tā yǐ lái bù jí shī zhǎn bié de shǒu duàn le ， dāng rán ， zuò yǐ dài bì ， nà yě shì jué bù kě néng dì 。
灵虚真人已是勃然变sè，可这点时间，他已来不及施展别的手段了，当然，坐以待毙，那也是绝不可能地。
然而与那无形无质的声音一撞，迅速被击散了。
tā xī le kǒu qì ， yáng shēng tǔ qì ， yī dào běn mìng líng xī ， cóng dān tián pēn tǔ chū qù ， huà wèi yī dào bái wù ， xiàng duì fāng de zhèn bō mó gōng hàn guò qù le 。
他吸了口气，扬声吐气，一道本命灵息，从丹田喷吐出去，化为一道白雾，像对方的震bō魔功撼过去了。
至于那些数百剑光，更是毫无作用。灵虚真人口中飞出一道鲜血，整个人被击飞十余丈远，才勉强稳住身形。
bié xiǎo kàn běn mìng líng xī ， tǔ zhè me yī kǒu ， tā zhì shǎo yào bì guān dǎ zuò sān wǔ shí nián cái néng huī fù ， wēi lì zì rán shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
别小看本命灵息，吐这么一口，他至少要闭关打坐三五十年才能恢复，威力自然是非同小可。
看他苍白的脸色，显然并未恢复。半空中，巨大的鬼脸消散，苏云峰的身影重新显现出来！。
"Junior Sister!"
The True Immortal Ling Xu and the Confucian-robed cultivator were both shocked and angry. However, fear was more evident on their faces. Although they had already learned from their founder's notes that the demon from beyond the heavens was not an easy opponent, they never dreamed it would be so formidable—so much so that a swift strike could kill one of their own.

Boom!
When the sound wave struck the defensive barrier, he only retreated three steps. However, Ling Xu's situation was not as fortunate.
Hundreds of sword lights used for defense were very sharp, but they had a significant weakness against sound wave attacks.
"Bad luck!"
Ling Xu's expression changed dramatically. But this time, he couldn't use any other means; sitting and waiting to die was also impossible.
He took a deep breath, exhaled, and a命魂从丹田喷出，化作一道白雾，向对方的震波魔功冲击过去。
