lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， shuāng shǒu qīng wò ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， yín sè de jiàn sī rú hǎi cháo làng tāo yì bān zài qí shēn tǐ zhōu wéi fān yǒng qǐ lái le 。
林轩眉头一挑，双手轻握，随着他的动作，银色的剑丝如海潮浪涛一般在其身体周围翻涌起来了。
Lin Xuan's brows knitted as he clasped his hands lightly. As he moved, silver sword threads surged around him like tidal waves.
céng céng dié dié ， shēng shēng bù xī ， jiāng lín xuān shàng xià zuǒ yòu ， hù le gè fēng yǔ bù tòu 。
层层叠叠，生生不息，将林轩上下左右，护了个风雨不透。
Layer upon layer, they never ceased, enveloping Lin Xuan from all sides and protecting him with the tenacity of a storm.
nà xiē huǒ hóng sè de xiān jiàn ， jiù yǒu rú fēi é pū huǒ ， lèng shì bú jiàn bàn diǎn yòng chǔ ， rán ér duì fāng suǒ jì chū de zhè jiàn hú ， yě dàng zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， jiù fǎng fú yōng yǒu bù miè zhī tǐ de yāo zú ， bù lùn bèi zhǎn duàn duō shǎo cì ， dōu néng qīng yì de fù yuán rú chū 。
那些火红色的仙剑，就有如飞蛾扑火，愣是不见半点用处，然而对方所祭出的这剑葫，也当真是非同小可，就仿佛拥有不灭之体的妖族，不论被斩断多少次，都能轻易的复原如初。
Those fiery red immortal swords seemed to be drawn to their doom, yet they remained utterly ineffective. However, the sword gourd wielded by his opponent was no trifling matter; it seemed almost indestructible, like a demon race with an unbreakable body that could recover effortlessly after being severed.
lín xuān de biǎo qíng yě yǒu xiē yán sù ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn suī rán méi yǒu jì liàn wán ， dàn yǐ yōng yǒu bīng huǒ léi sān zhǒng mì shù ， dàng zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zhè me duō nián le ， hái shì dì yī cì yù jiàn yǒu rén néng yòng běn mìng bǎo wù ， yǔ qí zhèng miàn kàng héng de 。
林轩的表情也有些严肃，九宫须臾剑虽然没有祭炼完，但已拥有冰火雷三种秘术，当真是非同小可，这么多年了，还是第一次遇见有人能用本命宝物，与其正面抗衡的。
Lin Xuan's expression turned serious. Although the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword had not been fully refined, it already possessed three secret techniques: ice, fire, and lightning. This was no small feat; he hadn't encountered anyone for so many years who could counter him with their own divine treasures.
xiǎo dù jié qī ， dào yě bú shì hú chuī dà qì ， zhēn yǒu jǐ fēn xuán miào yùn yù zài qí zhōng dì 。
小渡劫期，倒也不是胡吹大气，真有几分玄妙孕育在其中地。
The little渡劫期 wasn't just boasting; there was indeed a subtle magic to it.
lín xuān xīn zhōng jǐng tì ， lìng yī biān ， nà zhōng lǎo guài hé cháng bú shì jīng nù yǐ jí 。
林轩心中警惕，另一边，那钟老怪何尝不是惊怒以极。
Lin Xuan remained vigilant on one side while the old monster, Zhong Laozui, was equally furious and alarmed. Ten thousand years ago, he had almost been an invincible existence in his peer group. If not for his indifference towards empty fame, the head of Tianjue Sect would never have dared to be so arrogant.
wàn nián yǐ qián ， tā jī hū yǐ shì tóng jiē wú dí de cún zài ， ruò bú shì tā duì xū míng háo bù zài hū ， nǎ lún dé dào tiān jué mén de nà lǎo jiā huǒ lái xiāo zhāng bá hù 。
万年以前，他几乎已是同阶无敌的存在，若不是他对虚名毫不在乎，哪轮得到天绝门的那老家伙来嚣张跋扈。
Apart from this, just this set of divine treasures alone could sweep away all peers. The sword gourd was a masterpiece crafted with countless rare materials over ten millennia of effort. Its power was unparalleled!
bié de shén tōng zàn qiě bù shuō ， guāng shì zhè tào běn mìng bǎo wù ， jiù néng gòu héng sǎo yī gān tóng jiē xiū shì le 。
别的神通暂且不说，光是这套本命宝物，就能够横扫一干同阶修士了。
Now that he had advanced his cultivation further and become a senior cultivator in the little渡劫期, even though the sword gourd hadn't added any new materials, its power naturally increased as his own cultivation improved.
jiàn hú ， jiàn hú ， nǎi shì tā yòng yī jiàn xuán tiān zhì bǎo ， zài pèi yǐ wú shù zhēn xī cái liào ， fèi wàn nián xīn kǔ ， hǎo bù róng yì cái níng liàn ér chéng de 。
剑葫，剑葫，乃是他用一件玄天至宝，再配以无数珍稀材料，费万年辛苦，好不容易才凝炼而成的。
He saw some potential in Lin Xuan's Nine Palaces Momentary Sword. Thus, he broke with tradition by immediately summoning this divine treasure to cut off Lin Xuan's wings and then play the cat-and-mouse game.
wēi lì wú yǐ lún bǐ ！
威力无以伦比！
Although cultivators were often cold-hearted, this was a matter of revenge for his son; he wouldn't allow Lin Xuan to die easily but would prepare dozens of vicious tricks to torment him until he could neither live nor die…
rú jīn ， tā xiū wèi gèng jìn yí bù ， chéng wéi le xiǎo dù jié qī de qián bèi xiū xiān zhě ， ér jiàn hú suī rán méi yǒu tiān jiā xīn de cái liào shén me ， dàn suí zhe zhǔ rén xiū wèi de jìn jí ， qí wēi lì ， zì rán yě shì shuǐ zhǎng chuán gāo dì 。
如今，他修为更进一步，成为了小渡劫期的前辈修仙者，而剑葫虽然没有添加新的材料什么，但随着主人修为的晋级，其威力，自然也是水涨船高地。
His plan sounded good in theory, but Zhong Laozui was overestimating himself.
tā yě shì kàn chū lín xuān de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yǒu jǐ fēn bù sú ， suǒ yǐ cái pò tiān huāng de yī chū shǒu jiù jì chū le zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， yuán běn xiǎng zhe néng gòu wàng fēng pī mǐ ， xiān jiāng lín xuān de yǔ yì jiǎn qù ， suí hòu zài lái wán nà māo zhuō lǎo shǔ de yóu xì 。
他也是看出林轩的九宫须臾剑有几分不俗，所以才破天荒的一出手就祭出了这件宝物，原本想着能够望风披靡，先将林轩的羽翼剪去，随后再来玩那猫捉老鼠的游戏。
Lin Xuan wasn’t an ordinary cultivator. How could he be someone who could be manipulated? While the sword gourd was indeed a rare treasure, Lin Xuan's Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was no less of a divine artifact.
xiū xiān zhě suī guǎ qíng báo yì ， dàn zhè shā zi zhī chóu yě shì bù gòng dài tiān dì ， tā zì rán bú huì fàng rèn lín xuān qīng yì yǔn luò ér shì zhǔn bèi le shù shí zhǒng yīn dú shǒu duàn zhǔn bèi jiāng qí hǎo hǎo zhé mó ， yí dìng yào ràng qí qiú shēng bù néng ， qiú sǐ bù dé ，…
修仙者虽寡情薄意，但这杀子之仇也是不共戴天地，他自然不会放任林轩轻易陨落而是准备了数十种阴毒手段准备将其好好折磨，一定要让其求生不能，求死不得，…
The former Heavenly Witch Immortal had even used it to battle two scattered immortals. Scattered immortals were top-tier cultivators in the spirit realm, just one step away from true immortals. Their treasures were beyond description; that battle even involved legendary先天灵宝.
dǎ suàn gù rán bù cuò ， rán ér zhè zhōng lǎo guài què tài zì dà le 。
打算固然不错，然而这钟老怪却太自大了。
And not just one result—both were helpless against the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword.
lín xuān qǐ shì pǔ tōng xiū xiān zhě ， yòu zěn me huì shì rèn qí ná niē de rén wù ， tā de jiàn hú ， gù rán shì bù kě duō dé de bǎo wù rán ér lín xuān de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yòu hé cháng bú shì xiū xiān jiè de zhì bǎo ne ？
林轩岂是普通修仙者，又怎么会是任其拿捏的人物，他的剑葫，固然是不可多得的宝物然而林轩的九宫须臾剑又何尝不是修仙界的至宝呢？
Of course, this sword was different from the original. While both were called the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword, the one in the Heavenly Witch Immortal's hands was far superior to Lin Xuan’s current possession.
xī rì de tiān wū shén nǚ ， shèn zhì chí qí yǔ liǎng wèi sàn xiān dà zhàn guò ， sàn xiān ， zì rán shì líng jiè zuì dǐng jí de xiū xiān zhě ， shèn zhì jù lí zhēn xiān yě jǐn yī bù zhī yáo de ， shǒu zhōng de bǎo wù gèng bú yòng shuō ， nà yī zhàn ， shèn zhì lián chuán shuō zhōng de xiān tiān líng bǎo dōu dòng yòng le 。
昔日的天巫神女，甚至持其与两位散仙大战过，散仙，自然是灵界最顶级的修仙者，甚至距离真仙也仅一步之遥的，手中的宝物更不用说，那一战，甚至连传说中的先天灵宝都动用了。
But even without being a complete divine artifact, it still posed no problem against Zhong Laozui's sword gourd. Its power and sharpness were significantly greater.
ér qiě hái bù zhǐ yī jiàn jié guǒ ， què shì tóng yàng ná tiān wū shén nǚ wú kě nài hé ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yě néng gòu dǐng káng de zhù 。
而且还不止一件结果，却是同样拿天巫神女无可奈何，九宫须臾剑也能够顶扛得住。
However, what troubled Lin Xuan was that his opponent could regenerate after severing the sword.
dāng rán ， cǐ jiàn fēi bǐ jiàn ， tóng shì jiǔ gōng xū yú ， tiān wū shén nǚ shǒu zhōng de lì qì ， yuǎn bú shì lín xuān rú jīn suǒ yōng yǒu de kě bǐ 。
当然，此剑非彼剑，同是九宫须臾，天巫神女手中的利器，远不是林轩如今所拥有的可比。
Zhong Laozui suddenly clutched his hands, casting a sinister spell. A sizzling sound echoed as countless electric arcs, about the size of an arm, leaped from the surface of those fiery red immortal swords.
dàn jí biàn bú shì wán chéng bǎn de shén qì ， jǐn jǐn duì kàng zhōng lǎo guài shǒu zhōng de jiàn hú hái shì méi yǒu wèn tí wēi néng yǔ fēng lì ， shèn zhì hái yào dà dà de chāo guò yī xiē 。
但即便不是完成版的神器，仅仅对抗钟老怪手中的剑葫还是没有问题威能与锋利，甚至还要大大的超过一些。
"Here it comes…"
zhǐ bù guò duì fāng néng gòu duàn jiàn chóng shēng ， zhè yì diǎn ， jiù ràng lín xuān tóu téng yǐ jí 。
只不过对方能够断剑重生，这一点，就让林轩头疼以极。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted; he vaguely felt these electric arcs were familiar but couldn't recall them immediately.
rán ér zhè zhōng jiān de zhū duō qū zhé nà zhōng lǎo guài yòu rú hé qīng chǔ ， yǎn jiàn zì jǐ yǐ zhī wèi lì qì de běn mìng bǎo wù ， jū rán ná lín xuān shì wú kě nài hé tā xīn zhōng shì yòu qì yòu nù 。
然而这中间的诸多曲折那钟老怪又如何清楚，眼见自己倚之为利器的本命宝物，居然拿林轩是无可奈何他心中是又气又怒。
A chill ran down his spine.
yī xiǎng dào zì jǐ zài tóng mén miàn qián chuī xū shuō qū qū lín xuān bù guò shì shǒu dào qín lái ér yǐ ， jiù jué de liǎn hóng wú bǐ ， zhè yàng xià qù ， qǐ bù shì yán miàn sǎo dì ？
一想到自己在同门面前吹嘘说区区林轩不过是手到擒来而已，就觉得脸红无比，这样下去，岂不是颜面扫地？
"Not good!"
bù cuò ， tā shì duì xū míng bìng bú shì hěn zài hū ， rán ér zhè miàn zi yǔ zūn yán què yòu shì liǎng mǎ shì rú guǒ cǐ shì xiè lòu chū qù ， zì jǐ hái zhè me hǎo yì si tǒng yù běn mén xiū shì 。
不错，他是对虚名并不是很在乎，然而这面子与尊严却又是两码事如果此事泄漏出去，自己还这么好意思统御本门修士。
Lin Xuan inwardly cursed. Although he hadn’t figured out their origin, they weren’t ordinary things. By the time he realized this, it was too late to dodge with the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword. The entire sky was soon filled with those dark black electric arcs.
kě wù tā de biǎo qíng yǒu xiē yuàn dú 。
可恶他的表情有些怨毒。
The silver sword threads dimmed in comparison under their illumination.
tū rán shuāng shǒu yī wò ， yī dào yīn xiǎn de fǎ jué dǎ chū 。
突然双手一握，一道阴险的法诀打出。
Worse still, Lin Xuan felt a sudden lag in his mental connection with the sword threads. It was as if the flow of energy had been disrupted.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， cī lā shēng dà zuò ， nà xiē huǒ hóng sè de xiān jiàn biǎo miàn ， jū rán dàn tiào qǐ wú shù ér bì cū de diàn hú 。
随着他的动作，刺啦声大做，那些火红色的仙剑表面，居然弹跳起无数儿臂粗的电弧。
How could this be?
“ zhè qù ……”
“这去……”
Lin Xuan's expression turned pale. The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was his divine treasure, newly refined but imbued with the essence of the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring’s spirit. Its connection to him remained intact and even deeper than that with old monsters' divine treasures.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， yǐn yǐn jué de zhè xiē diàn hú yǒu xiē yǎn shú ， dàn yī shí piàn kè ， què yòu zěn me yě xiǎng bù qǐ lái le 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，隐隐觉得这些电弧有些眼熟，但一时片刻，却又怎么也想不起来了。
So why had their connection been disrupted?
dàn yī gǔ liáng qì què sà rán yóu bèi hòu mào chū 。
但一股凉气却飒然由背后冒出。
Could it be…?
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
Lin Xuan's mind raced.
lín xuān xīn zhōng àn jiào ， zhè xiē diàn hú de lái lì ， suī rán méi yǒu xiǎng qīng chǔ ， dàn jué fēi bù qǐ yǎn de pǔ tōng shì wù ， rán ér zhè shí hòu ， lín xuān yǐ lái bù jí ràng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn duǒ ， zhuǎn shùn jiān ， zhěng gè tiān kōng ， dōu bù mǎn le nà mò hēi sè de diàn hú 。
林轩心中暗叫，这些电弧的来历，虽然没有想清楚，但绝非不起眼的普通事物，然而这时候，林轩已来不及让九宫须臾剑躲，转瞬间，整个天空，都布满了那墨黑色的电弧。
Ghostly Black Ink!
yín sè de jiàn sī ， zài qí yìng chèn xià ， suǒ sàn fà chū lái de guāng huá ， dùn shí àn dàn le xǔ duō 。
银色的剑丝，在其映衬下，所散发出来的光华，顿时黯淡了许多。
No, Ghostly Black Ink could indeed pollute a cultivator's treasure but couldn’t form lightning shapes. After searching through all his known techniques and divine treasures, only the legendary Illusory Yin Divine Thunder fit this description.
gèng kě pà de shì ， lín xuān gǎn jué ， jiàn sī yǔ zì jǐ jiān de xīn shén lián xì ， yī xià zi biàn dé dāi zhì le xǔ duō ， shuō zhuǎn zhé bù líng yě bù wèi guò 。
更可怕的是，林轩感觉，剑丝与自己间的心神联系，一下子变得呆滞了许多，说转折不灵也不为过。
Illusory Yin Divine Thunder was a great technique wielded by ghostly demons renowned across the three realms. Its power was immense; it could corrupt cultivators or ancient devils' treasures once unleashed.
zhè zěn me kě néng ne ？
这怎么可能呢？
Fortunately, while there were countless experts in the Netherworld Realm, only a few powerful ghosts and demons could cast Illusory Yin Divine Thunder.
lín xuān hài rán shī sè 。
林轩骇然失色。
This wasn't just a technique one could learn by reading; it required some tools. According to legend, only divine treasures made from the "Illusory Yin Demon Flower," one of the three treasures of the Netherworld Realm, would possess such power.
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ” kě shì zì jǐ de běn mìng bǎo wù ， suī shì xīn jìn liàn zhì chū lái de ， dàn yóu yú liàn zhì shǒu fǎ lìng pì xī jìng ， xuán miào yì cháng ， jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán de líng xìng ， yì diǎn yě méi yǒu liú shī ， ér shì zuò wéi cái liào ， quán bù chuán chéng róng rù le cǐ bǎo 。
九宫须臾剑”可是自己的本命宝物，虽是新近炼制出来的，但由于炼制手法另辟蹊径，玄妙异常，九天明月环的灵性，一点也没有流失，而是作为材料，全部传承融入了此宝。
The Illusory Yin Demon Flower was so precious that even the Arhats had searched for it across the Netherworld for ten thousand years, spending countless efforts to gather just 9,999 flowers. After refining them, they were incorporated into their divine boxes, and the resulting Illusory Yin Divine Thunder could corrupt even true immortals' divine treasures.
rú cǐ yī lái ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ， xiāng dāng yú zài zì jǐ de tǐ nèi ， péi yù le shàng qiān nián ， suī rán jí bù shàng nà xiē lǎo guài wù yǔ běn mìng fǎ bǎo de mò qì ， dàn yě dào le xīn yǒu líng xī zhī dì ， zhè hǎo hǎo de ， zěn me huì bèi chí zhì le lián xì 。
如此一来，九宫须臾剑，相当于在自己的体内，培育了上千年，虽然及不上那些老怪物与本命法宝的默契，但也到了心有灵犀之地，这好好的，怎么会被迟滞了联系。
Nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine seemed like a lot, but only the most exceptional Netherworld Arhat had such resources.
gǔ guài kěn dìng shì zài gāng cái nà hēi sè de shǎn diàn lǐ 。
古怪肯定是在刚才那黑色的闪电里。
For other Netherworld ghosts, finding just one or two would be cause for celebration.
nán dào shuō ．．．…
难道说．．．…
The subtlety of this divine thunder wasn't something Lin Xuan read about in a single book; he witnessed its power firsthand. His extensive knowledge left him greatly alarmed.
Lin Xuan's brows knitted as he clasped his hands lightly. As he moved, silver sword threads surged around him like tidal waves.
Layer upon layer, they never ceased, enveloping Lin Xuan from all sides and protecting him with the tenacity of a storm.
