zhǐ jiàn tā yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， hún shēn de fǎ lì ， rú jué dī zhī shuǐ yì bān ， zhù rù shǒu zhōng de zhǎng gē lǐ 。
只见他右手抬起，浑身的法力，如决堤之水一般，注入手中的长戈里。
He raised his right hand, and the mana in his body surged like a flood, pouring into the long spear he held.
shà shí jiān ， qīng míng shēng dà zuò ， cǐ bǎo biǎo miàn fú wén bān bó ， wǔ sè líng guāng liú zhuǎn ér guò ， suí hòu lín xuān shǒu qǐ bǎo luò ， yǐ hěn hěn de cháo zhe xià fāng pī cì guò qù le 。
霎时间，清鸣声大做，此宝表面符文斑驳，五色灵光流转而过，随后林轩手起宝落，已狠狠的朝着下方劈刺过去了。
Instantly, a clear ringing sound echoed. The surface of the treasure was covered with faded talismans, emitting colorful spiritual light that flowed over it. Lin Xuan then swung the treasure, striking downward with great force.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， yī gǔ xiōng lì qì zhī qì pèi rán ér qǐ ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de shì wú shù fú wén cóng zhǎng gē biǎo miàn ruò yǐn ruò xiàn de tūn tǔ 。
随着他的动作，一股凶戾气之气沛然而起，与之伴随的是无数符文从长戈表面若隐若现的吞吐。
As he moved, a vicious and ferocious aura emerged, accompanied by countless talisman inscriptions flickering on the spear's surface.
zhè xiē wén zì yě shì xī qí gǔ piáo ， yǔ xiǎo zhuàn mó wén dōu dà bù xiāng tóng ， fǎn ér yǔ yāo zú wén zì yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù 。
这些文字也是稀奇古朴，与小篆魔纹都大不相同，反而与妖族文字有几分相似之处。
These inscriptions were ancient and peculiar, quite different from the minor script magic symbols. They seemed to bear some resemblance to the beast race's writing.
yòu guò xū yú de gōng fu ， nà xiē wén zì líng guāng yī shǎn ， jū rán wéi chéng le yí gè yòu yí gè de yuán ， yī guǐ yì jīng qiǎo de fǎ zhèn chū xiàn zài le miàn qián 。
又过须臾的功夫，那些文字灵光一闪，居然围成了一个又一个的圆，一诡异精巧的法阵出现在了面前。
After a short while, these spiritual lights flashed, forming one circle after another. A strange and intricate magical array appeared before his eyes.
suí hòu yuè yá xíng de guāng rèn jǐn jiē zhe fú xiàn ！
随后月牙形的光刃紧接着浮现！
Following this, crescent-shaped light blades emerged!
yǔ pǔ tōng de guāng rèn bù tóng ， jìng rán yǒu xuán miào de wēi xíng fǎ zhèn fù zhuó zài qí jiān 。
与普通的光刃不同，竟然有玄妙的微型法阵附着在其间。
Unlike ordinary light blades, there were subtle miniature magical arrays embedded within them.
lín xuān bào hē de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà yuè yá guāng rèn suǒ guò zhī chù ， kōng jiān jiù fǎng fú yī kuài bō lí ， yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de sù dù cùn cùn suì liè diào le 。
林轩暴喝的声音传入耳朵，那月牙光刃所过之处，空间就仿佛一块玻璃，以肉眼可见的速度寸寸碎裂掉了。
Lin Xuan's roar echoed in the air. Wherever the crescent blade passed, space seemed to shatter like glass, visibly fragmenting at an alarming rate.
“ kōng jiān fǎ zé ！”
“空间法则！”
"Space Law!"
chūn háng hài rán shī sè ， dèng zhe liǎng gè tóng líng bān dà xiǎo de yǎn zhū ， jī hū yǐ wéi zì jǐ kàn cuò 。
椿杭骇然失色，瞪着两个铜铃般大小的眼珠，几乎以为自己看错。
Zhuang Hang was shocked and pale-faced, staring with bulging eyes as if he had just witnessed a mirage.
nà yī shùn jiān ， tā shèn zhì shì yǒu xiē huǎng hū ， qū qū yī fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， jū rán qū dòng le kōng jiān fǎ zé ， ér qiě hái shì céng cì bù dī de nà zhǒng 。
那一瞬间，他甚至是有些恍惚，区区一分神期修仙者，居然驱动了空间法则，而且还是层次不低的那种。
For a moment, he was dazed, thinking that such a low-level cultivator could actually activate the space law. Moreover, it seemed to be of considerable strength.
dàn hěn kuài ， chūn jī jiù qīng xǐng guò lái ， liǎn shàng de huǎng hū ， yě bèi jǐn zhāng suǒ qǔ dài 。
但很快，椿机就清醒过来，脸上的恍惚，也被紧张所取代。
But Zhuang Ji quickly regained his composure, the confusion on his face replaced by tension.
rú guǒ tā méi yǒu shòu shāng ， jí biàn duì fāng de gōng jī ， yùn yòng le fǎ zé ， tā yě yǒu bàn fǎ duì fù ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tuō zhuó zhòng shāng de shēn tǐ hěn duō mì shù ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu bàn fǎ shī zhǎn le 。
如果他没有受伤，即便对方的攻击，运用了法则，他也有办法对付，然而此时此刻，托着重伤的身体很多秘术，根本就没有办法施展了。
If he hadn't been injured, even with the opponent's attack using laws, he would have had ways to counter it. But now, hampered by his severe injuries and many secret techniques, there was little he could do.
zuì zāo gāo de shì ， duì fāng shǐ yòng de ， jì rán shì kōng jiān fǎ zé ， nà duǒ dōu méi yǒu bàn fǎ duǒ ， yìng jiē sì hū shì wéi yī de xuǎn zé 。
最糟糕的是，对方使用的，既然是空间法则，那躲都没有办法躲，硬接似乎是唯一的选择。
The worst part was that since the opponent used space law, there was no way to dodge; hard confrontation seemed to be the only choice.
chūn háng yǎn zhōng fǎng fú yǒu xióng xióng de huǒ guāng shǎn guò ， suí hòu liǎng zhǐ qián zhǎo tái qǐ ， hěn mìng yī pāi 。
椿杭眼中仿佛有熊熊的火光闪过，随后两只前爪抬起，狠命一拍。
Zhuang Hang's eyes glowed with fierce flames as he raised both paws and struck forcefully.
zhè zhāo shù ， tā gāng gāng cái yòng guò shuō gù jì zhòng shī yě bù wèi guò ， ér qiě jiù wēi lì lái shuō ， bǐ gāng gāng nà yī xià ， hái lüè shèng yī chóu 。
这招数，他刚刚才用过说故技重施也不为过，而且就威力来说，比刚刚那一下，还略胜一筹。
This move had been used before, so it wasn't entirely new. In terms of power, it was slightly more potent than his previous strike.
shà shí jiān ， bō dòng zhòu qǐ ， hái wèi huī fù de tiān kōng ， zhuǎn shùn jiān ， yòu bèi kōng jiān zhī lì è hěn hěn sī chě ， ér qiě zhè yī cì ， shì liǎng dào bù tóng de fǎ zé è hěn hěn de zhuàng zài yì qǐ le 。
霎时间，波动骤起，还未恢复的天空，转瞬间，又被空间之力恶狠狠撕扯，而且这一次，是两道不同的法则恶狠狠的撞在一起了。
Suddenly, ripples surged through the sky, which hadn't fully recovered. Space forces viciously tore at it again, this time two different laws colliding with intense force.
xiá lù xiāng féng yǒng zhě shèng 。
狭路相逢勇者胜。
Victory goes to the brave in a narrow path.
rán ér jiǎ rú shì tiān dì fǎ zé hù xiāng pái chì ， nà kěn dìng shì gèng wéi shēn ào de fǎ zé ， zuì zhōng qǔ dé shèng lì le 。
然而假如是天地法则互相排斥，那肯定是更为深奥的法则，最终取得胜利了。
However, if the opposing laws repelled each other, they would likely be more profound and ultimately prevail.
jǐn jǐn shì lüè yī xiāng chí ， guāng rèn jiù jì xù shā zhì ， zhǐ bù guò sù dù màn le xǔ duō 。
仅仅是略一相持，光刃就继续杀至，只不过速度慢了许多。
The light blade continued its assault, albeit much slower now.
rán ér nǐ bié kàn tā sù dù biàn dé jí wéi huǎn màn ， qí shí yī jiù méi fǎ duǒ ， zhè jiù shì yùn hán kōng jiān fǎ zé gōng jī de kě pà zhī chù ， shí kōng ， yǐ jīng bèi lǐ miàn yùn hán de fǎ zé zhī lì niǔ qū ， yǎn jīng suǒ jiàn shì bù zú wéi píng dì 。
然而你别看它速度变得极为缓慢，其实依旧没法躲，这就是蕴含空间法则攻击的可怕之处，时空，已经被里面蕴含的法则之力扭曲，眼睛所见是不足为凭地。
Despite its reduced speed, it was still impossible to dodge. The terrifying aspect of an attack containing space law was that time and space were distorted by the power within, making visual perception unreliable.
táo háng de biǎo qíng jì fèn nù yòu huāng zhāng tōu jī bù chéng shí bǎ mǐ zěn me zuì hòu biàn chéng zì jǐ lái chéng shòu kōng jiān shén tōng de gōng jī 。
梼杭的表情既愤怒又慌张偷鸡不成蚀把米怎么最后变成自己来承受空间神通的攻击。
Zhuang Hang's expression was a mix of anger and panic—how could he end up bearing the brunt of the spatial divine technique?
tā dà hài zhī xià liǎng zhǎo bù tíng de pāi chū ， zhè yī piàn ， jiù fǎng fú shì yī kuài zhèng zài féng bǔ de pò bù ， kě měi cì dōu shì ， hái méi yǒu fèng hǎo ， jiù yòu chóng xīn bèi sī chě chéng yī piàn yī piàn de le 。
他大骇之下两爪不停的拍出，这一片，就仿佛是一块正在缝补的破布，可每次都是，还没有缝好，就又重新被撕扯成一片一片的了。
He frantically struck with his claws, but it felt like trying to mend a torn piece of cloth. Each time, before he could finish, it was torn apart again.
bèi sī chě chū de kōng jiān liè fèng duō duō shǎo shǎo dōu yùn hán yǒu yì diǎn fǎ zé ， kě yǐ jiāng guāng bō de wēi néng màn màn xiāo mó 。
被撕扯出的空间裂缝多多少少都蕴含有一点法则，可以将光波的威能慢慢消磨。
The space rifts created by these tears contained some law, gradually weakening the light blade's power.
lín xuān jiàn le cǐ mù ， liǎn sè yuè fā yīn mái le ， méi xiǎng dào bìng jí luàn tóu yī ， zhè kōng jiān fǎ bǎo hái zhēn néng kè zhì qiáng dí ， rán ér duì fāng suī shēn shòu zhòng shāng ， què bǐ xiǎng xiàng de wán qiáng 。
林轩见了此幕，脸色越发阴霾了，没想到病急乱投医，这空间法宝还真能克制强敌，然而对方虽身受重伤，却比想象的顽强。
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan's face darkened further. He hadn't expected such desperate measures to work; the spatial treasure really did counter strong enemies. However, despite his severe injuries, the opponent was more resilient than anticipated.
dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， lín xuān zǒng suàn kàn jiàn le shèng lì de shǔ guāng ， xiù páo yī fú ， yí gè yù píng fēi lüè ér chū ， lín xuān shēn shǒu wò zhù ， lǐ miàn suǒ shèng fàng de ， shì wàn nián líng rǔ 。
但不管如何，林轩总算看见了胜利的曙光，袖袍一拂，一个玉瓶飞掠而出，林轩伸手握住，里面所盛放的，是万年灵乳。
But now, victory seemed within reach. With a wave of his sleeve, an jade bottle flew out. Lin Xuan grasped it, and inside was immortal milk from ten thousand years ago—purified to match the legendary celestial dew.
ér qiě ， shì tí chún guò de nà zhǒng ， xiào guǒ bù xià chuán shuō zhōng de jiǔ tiān xiān lù 。
而且，是提纯过的那种，效果不下传说中的九天仙露。
Such attacks and this style of combat were extremely draining for him. After just two or three rounds, he had almost depleted all his mana.
zhè yàng de gōng jī ， zhè zhǒng fāng shì de dòu fǎ ， lín xuān de xiāo hào ， nà yě shì jí dà ， duǎn duǎn liǎng sān gè huí hé ， hún shēn de fǎ lì jiù suǒ shèng wú jǐ le 。
这样的攻击，这种方式的斗法，林轩的消耗，那也是极大，短短两三个回合，浑身的法力就所剩无几了。
But with the immortal milk, such situations no longer mattered; a few drops would fully restore his energy. At least in terms of mana consumption, he was invincible.
bù guò jì yǒu wàn nián líng rǔ ， duì zhè yàng de qíng kuàng dāng rán yě jiù bù zài hū ， hē shàng liǎng dī jiù néng wán quán huī fù ， zhì shǎo zài fǎ lì xiāo hào zhè wèn tí shàng ， zì jǐ shì lì yú bù bài zhī dì de 。
不过既有万年灵乳，对这样的情况当然也就不在乎，喝上两滴就能完全恢复，至少在法力消耗这问题上，自己是立于不败之地的。
On one side, Lin Xuan was confident. On the other, Zhuang Hang's paws continued to strike forward. Over time, the light blade finally consumed its remaining mana and dissipated.
zhè biān lín xuān xiōng yǒu chéng zhú ， lìng yī biān ， dǎo háng de qián zhǎo hái zài bù tíng xiàng qián pāi chū ， suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， nà guāng rèn zhōng yú bèi yì diǎn yī dī de xiāo hào wán le fǎ lì 。
这边林轩胸有成竹，另一边，祷杭的前爪还在不停向前拍出，随着时间的推移，那光刃终于被一点一滴的消耗完了法力。
Relieved, Zhuang Ji thought they had escaped danger. But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
zhōng yú huà xiǎn wéi yí ， táo jī sōng le kǒu qì ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， què fā shēng le chū rén yì liào de shì 。
终于化险为夷，梼机松了口气，然而就在这时，却发生了出人意料的事。
The once formidable Zhuang Hang suddenly spat out a mouthful of dark blood. His sky-high spiritual pressure rapidly diminished.
yuán běn qì shì bù fán de dǎo háng ， tū rán yī kǒu niǎo hēi de yū xuè pēn chū ， suí hòu tā hún shēn shàng xià de nà chōng tiān de líng yā ， xùn sù jiǎn ruò 。
原本气势不凡的祷杭，突然一口鸟黑的瘀血喷出，随后他浑身上下的那冲天的灵压，迅速减弱。
From the threshold of the Tribulation to late Divination Realm, then from late to mid-stage, and finally to early stage.
yóu dù jié diào lù dào le fēn shén hòu qī ， suí hòu yòu yóu fēn shén hòu qī diào luò dào le zhōng qī ， zài yóu zhōng qī diào luò dào le chū qī 。
由渡劫掉路到了分神后期，随后又由分神后期掉落到了中期，再由中期掉落到了初期。
"What...?"
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
Not only was Lin Xuan stunned, but Zhuang Ji himself was equally shocked as he looked down at his claws, still in a daze.
bù zhǐ lín xuān chēng mù jié shé ， lián táo jī zì jǐ ， yě tóng yàng jīng dāi le ， tā dī tóu kàn le kàn zì jǐ de lì zhuǎ ， sì hū hái yǒu xiē mí hū 。
不止林轩瞠目结舌，连梼机自己，也同样惊呆了，他低头看了看自己的利爪，似乎还有些迷糊。
Lin Xuan's first thought was that this might be an attempt to feign weakness and set up some trap. But the idea flashed through his mind briefly before he dismissed it with a smile.
ér lín xuān de dì yī fǎn yìng ， shì zhè jiā huo huì bú huì shì shì dí yǐ ruò ， yòu bù zhì xiàn jǐng mí zhèn shén me 。
而林轩的第一反应，是这家伙会不会是示敌以弱，又布置陷阱迷阵什么。
After several exchanges, neither had held back. Through these few strikes, they each knew roughly how powerful their opponent was. What would be the point of such tricks?
dàn zhè ge niàn tou jǐn jǐn shì yī shǎn ér guò ， suí hòu lín xuān jiù bù zhè me xiǎng le ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn xiào róng 。
但这个念头仅仅是一闪而过，随后林轩就不这么想了，脸上露出几分笑容。
Since it wasn't intentional, there could only be one reasonable explanation: Zhuang Ji's realm had dropped.
shuāng fāng yǐ nǐ lái wǒ wǎng de shā le jǐ gè huí hé ， ér qiě yì diǎn yě méi yǒu bǎo liú shí lì shén me ， huàn jù huà shuō ， duì fāng shí lì rú hé ， tán bù shàng zhī gēn zhī dǐ ， dàn dà gài qíng kuàng ， tōng guò zhè jǐ xià jiāo shǒu ， yǐ gè zì xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， zhè yàng de qíng kuàng xià ， wán zhè zhǒng bǎ xì yǒu shén me yì yì ne ？
双方已你来我往的杀了几个回合，而且一点也没有保留实力什么，换句话说，对方实力如何，谈不上知根知底，但大概情况，通过这几下交手，已各自心中有数，这样的情况下，玩这种把戏有什么意义呢？
Analyzing further, this was highly plausible. The old demon ancestor's fatal strike left Zhuang Ji severely injured, to a degree unimaginable. Even if he immediately took medicine and meditated in an area thick with demonic energy, his injuries might still flare up. Moreover, they had fought fiercely for several rounds.
jì rán bú shì gù yì wèi zhī ， nà hé lǐ de jiě shì zhǐ yǒu yí gè 。
既然不是故意为之，那合理的解释只有一个。
Given such severe injuries, it wasn't surprising that his realm dropped.
duì fāng jìng jiè diào luò 。
对方境界掉落。
What Lin Xuan hadn't anticipated was the extent of the drop—from early Tribulation to late Divination Realm. The spiritual pressure Zhuang Ji now emitted was even less than his own.
ér zǐ xì fēn xī ， zhè shì dà yǒu kě néng dì ， bì jìng xuán bīng lǎo zǔ nà shě mìng yī jī ， táo jī shāng shì zhī zhòng ， yǐ dào nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de dì bù ， jiù suàn shì lì kè zài mó qì nóng zhòng de dì fāng fú yào dǎ zuò ， shāng shì yě hěn yǒu kě néng fā zuò ， gèng bú yào shuō ， tā yǔ zì jǐ hái jī liè de huǒ bìng le jǐ gè huí hé 。
而仔细分析，这是大有可能地，毕竟玄冰老祖那舍命一击，梼机伤势之重，已到难以想象的地步，就算是立刻在魔气浓重的地方服药打坐，伤势也很有可能发作，更不要说，他与自己还激烈的火并了几个回合。
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a sardonic smile as he thought this. His injuries wouldn't improve, meaning he would face an injured peer at the same level.
zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， yīn wèi shāng shì tài zhòng ， jìng jiè diào luò ， shì yì diǎn yě bù zú wéi qí de 。
这种情况下，因为伤势太重，境界掉落，是一点也不足为奇的。
Was there any doubt about who would win?
zhǐ bù guò méi xiǎng dào huì diào luò rú cǐ zhī duō ， cóng dù jié chū qī yì zhí diào luò dào fēn shén chū qī ， duì fāng cǐ kè sàn fà chū lái de líng yā ， shèn zhì lián zì jǐ dōu bù jí 。
只不过没想到会掉落如此之多，从渡劫初期一直掉落到分神初期，对方此刻散发出来的灵压，甚至连自己都不及。
After all, with his strength, a peer was just a sprinkle of rain.
lín xuān xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū jǐ fēn wán wèi zhī yì 。
林轩想到这里，嘴角边露出几分玩味之意。
Furthermore, Zhuang Hang, due to his severe injuries, could barely unleash most of his divine techniques.
jìng jiè diào luò ， shāng shì kě bù huì yǒu fēn háo hǎo zhuǎn de ， huàn jù huà shuō ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， xíng shì wán quán gǎi biàn ， zì jǐ jiāng miàn duì yī zhòng shāng de tóng jiē cún zài 。
境界掉落，伤势可不会有分毫好转的，换句话说，此时此刻，形势完全改变，自己将面对一重伤的同阶存在。
Now he was like a toothless tiger or fish on a chopping board—every strike and slash was at Lin Xuan's discretion.
nà shèng fù hái yǒu xuán niàn me ？
那胜负还有悬念么？
Clearly aware of this situation, both parties understood the dynamics. As hunter turned prey, fear flashed in Zhuang Hang's eyes.
bì jìng yǐ zì jǐ de shí lì ， tóng jiē cún zài shí zài shì máo máo yǔ 。
毕竟以自己的实力，同阶存在实在是毛毛雨。
"Au!"
gèng bú yào shuō ， dǎo háng yīn wèi shāng shì de yuán gù ， shén tōng dà bàn dōu fā huī bù chū 。
更不要说，祷杭因为伤势的缘故，神通大半都发挥不出。
A howl echoed as a blood-red demonic aura enveloped Zhuang Ji. With his realm dropped, he could no longer control the laws of nature and had to rely on ordinary blood shadow concealment.
rú jīn tā jiù shì yī bá le yá de lǎo hǔ ， huò zhě shuō zhēn bǎn shàng de yú ， héng kǎn shù pī ， quán dōu yóu zì jǐ de xīn yì 。
如今他就是一拔了牙的老虎，或者说砧板上的鱼，横砍竖劈，全都由自己的心意。
Almost instantly, his figure became indistinct. This secret technique seemed to have some subtlety but was now like showing off in front of a master.
zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， lín xuān xīn zhōng qīng chǔ ， ér dǎo háng ， hé cháng bú shì nèi xīn yǒu shù ， rú jīn liè rén biàn chéng le liè wù ， tā de yǎn móu shēn chù ， lù chū kǒng jù zhī sè 。
这种情况，林轩心中清楚，而祷杭，何尝不是内心有数，如今猎人变成了猎物，他的眼眸深处，露出恐惧之色。
Looking at Zhuang Hang within the blood shadow, Lin Xuan's lips curled with mockery: "Running, foolish creature. Do you think there's any chance for you to escape now?"
He raised his right hand, and the mana in his body surged like a flood, pouring into the long spear he held.
Instantly, a clear ringing sound echoed. The surface of the treasure was covered with faded talismans, emitting colorful spiritual light that flowed over it. Lin Xuan then swung the treasure, striking downward with great force.
As he moved, a vicious and ferocious aura emerged, accompanied by countless talisman inscriptions flickering on the spear's surface.
These inscriptions were ancient and peculiar, quite different from the minor script magic symbols. They seemed to bear some resemblance to the beast race's writing.
After a short while, these spiritual lights flashed, forming one circle after another. A strange and intricate magical array appeared before his eyes.
Following this, crescent-shaped light blades emerged!
Unlike ordinary light blades, there were subtle miniature magical arrays embedded within them.
"Ha!"
Lin Xuan's roar echoed in the air. Wherever the crescent blade passed, space seemed to shatter like glass, visibly fragmenting at an alarming rate.
"Space Law!"
Zhuang Hang was shocked and pale-faced, staring with bulging eyes as if he had just witnessed a mirage.
For a moment, he was dazed, thinking that such a low-level cultivator could actually activate the space law. Moreover, it seemed to be of considerable strength.
But Zhuang Ji quickly regained his composure, the confusion on his face replaced by tension.
If he hadn't been injured, even with the opponent's attack using laws, he would have had ways to counter it. But now, hampered by his severe injuries and many secret techniques, there was little he could do.
The worst part was that since the opponent used space law, there was no way to dodge; hard confrontation seemed to be the only choice.
Roar!
Zhuang Hang's eyes glowed with fierce flames as he raised both paws and struck forcefully.
This move had been used before, so it wasn't entirely new. In terms of power, it was slightly more potent than his previous strike.
Suddenly, ripples surged through the sky, which hadn't fully recovered. Space forces viciously tore at it again, this time two different laws colliding with intense force.
