jì rán zuò chū le jué zé ， lín xuān de dòng zuò yě shì fēi cháng xùn sù ， yǐ tā dòu fǎ jīng yàn zhī fēng fù ， gāi zěn yàng yìng fù gēn běn jiù bù yòng duō xiǎng 。
既然做出了抉择，林轩的动作也是非常迅速，以他斗法经验之丰富，该怎样应付根本就不用多想。
Since he had made his decision, Lin Xuan's actions were swift. With his extensive experience in combat, there was no need to overthink how to respond.
lín xuān méi yǒu duǒ ， yě méi yǒu jì chū rèn hé fáng yù de bǎo wù 。
林轩没有躲，也没有祭出任何防御的宝物。
Lin Xuan did not dodge or summon any defensive treasures. His movements were equally simple; with a raised right hand, he swept forward without any hint of fiery intent.
tā de dòng zuò tóng yàng jiǎn dān yǐ jí ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， bù dài fēn háo huǒ qì de xiàng qián huà le guò qù 。
他的动作同样简单以极，右手抬起，不带分毫火气的向前划了过去。
"Idiot!"
“ bái chī ！”
“白痴！”
The old monsters at the scene couldn't help but curse inwardly as they watched this spectacle. Was Lin Xuan really smart or just foolish? This move was overly presumptuous.
kàn jiàn zhè yí mù ， zài chǎng de dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， dōu rěn bú zhù zài xīn zhōng àn mà yī jù ， zhè lín xiǎo zi jiū jìng shì cōng míng hái shì shǎ ， zhè yī jī ， wèi miǎn yě tài tuō dà 。
看见这一幕，在场的渡劫期老怪物，都忍不住在心中暗骂一句，这林小子究竟是聪明还是傻，这一击，未免也太托大。
Indeed, he failed to discern his opponent's intentions and thought that Tiantian's punch was merely a probe.
guǒ rán ， tā méi néng jiāng duì fāng de yì tú kàn pò ， zhēn yǐ wéi tiān yuán nà yī quán ， jǐn jǐn shì shì tàn le 。
果然，他没能将对方的意图看破，真以为天元那一拳，仅仅是试探了。
Even if it was a probe, it was still a strike from the Saint Ancestor of the Transcendence Period. It shouldn't have been so casually met.
kě jiù suàn shì shì tàn ， nà yě shì dù jié qī shèng zǔ de yī jī ， zěn me yě bù gāi zhè me qīng miáo dàn xiě de yíng shàng qù 。
可就算是试探，那也是渡劫期圣祖的一击，怎么也不该这么轻描淡写的迎上去。
This action could be said to completely fall into his opponent's trap.
zhè yàng zuò ， kě yǐ shuō ， shì wán quán luò rù le duì fāng de quān tào lǐ 。
这样做，可以说，是完全落入了对方的圈套里。
They seemed to see Lin Xuan's next moment as a惨叫 and spitting blood, even being struck by that thread of rule power until his soul was annihilated.
tā men fǎng fú yǐ jīng kàn jiàn xià yī kè ， lín xuān cǎn jiào tù xiě ， shèn zhì bèi nà yī sī fǎ zé zhī lì ， dǎ dé shén hún jù miè 。
他们仿佛已经看见下一刻，林轩惨叫吐血，甚至被那一丝法则之力，打得神魂俱灭。
Although they envied him and hoped he would suffer, such a clean defeat was not what the old monsters at the Transcendence Period wished to witness.
suī rán yīn wèi jí dù ， xī wàng lín xuān chī kǔ ， dàn tā bài dé zhè yàng gān jìng lì luò ， yě jué fēi zài chǎng de dù jié qī lǎo guài wù yuàn yì mù dǔ 。
虽然因为嫉妒，希望林轩吃苦，但他败得这样干净利落，也绝非在场的渡劫期老怪物愿意目睹。
Regardless of their views, as cultivators in the Spirit Realm, they still hoped Lin Xuan could severely injure Tiantian, resulting in mutual destruction.
bù guǎn kàn fǎ shì shén me ， dàn dà jiā bì jìng dōu shì líng jiè xiū xiān zhě ， rú guǒ kě yǐ xuǎn zé ， tā men hái shì xī wàng lín xuān néng zhòng chuāng tiān yuán gǔ mó ， liǎng bài jù shāng zuì hǎo le 。
不管看法是什么，但大家毕竟都是灵界修仙者，如果可以选择，他们还是希望林轩能重创天元古魔，两败俱伤最好了。
Unfortunately, it seemed this was just wishful thinking. This young man had shown such a high profile during the wedding banquet but lacked any outstanding abilities.
kě xī xiàn zài kàn lái ， zhè gēn běn jiù shì yì xiāng qíng yuàn ， zhè lín xiǎo zi zài hūn yàn shàng ， biǎo xiàn dé nà yàng gāo diào lí pǔ ， dàn shí lì ， yě bú jiàn yǒu shén me chū zhòng zhī chù 。
可惜现在看来，这根本就是一厢情愿，这林小子在婚宴上，表现得那样高调离谱，但实力，也不见有什么出众之处。
A Spirit Formation Period cultivator might have fallen short as well, but his response to that strike would likely have been better.
huàn yī míng fèn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， suī rán yě miǎn bù liǎo luò bài yī tú ， dàn gāng gāng nà yī jī de yìng fù ， shuō bù dìng hái yào hǎo shàng yī xiē de 。
换一名分神期修仙者，虽然也免不了落败一途，但刚刚那一击的应付，说不定还要好上一些的。
Almost everyone's eyes were filled with disdain. At this moment, Lin Xuan seemed no different from a dead body in their eyes.
jī hū suǒ yǒu rén ， yǎn shén dōu chōng mǎn le bǐ yí ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān zài tā men de yǎn zhōng ， jiù yǔ yí gè sǐ rén chà bu duō 。
几乎所有人，眼神都充满了鄙夷，此时此刻，林轩在他们的眼中，就与一个死人差不多。
Of course, not everyone thought this way. With so many great powers gathered here, some did notice the subtleties of Lin Xuan's move.
dāng rán ， yě bú shì měi yí gè rén dōu zhè yàng xiǎng ， zhè me duō dà néng qí jù cǐ chù ， zì rán hái shì yǒu yī bù fèn kàn chū lín xuān zhè yī jī de xuán miào zhī chù 。
当然，也不是每一个人都这样想，这么多大能齐聚此处，自然还是有一部分看出林轩这一击的玄妙之处。
The Great Serpent Ice Soul, Nailed Dragon True Person, and others didn't need to say much. Even Qianqian Fairy, with a faint smile on her lips, saw something remarkable in Lin Xuan's action.
bǎo shé bīng pò ， nài lóng zhēn rén děng zuì dǐng jiān de dà néng bú yòng shuō ， biàn shì dù jié zhōng qī de qiān qiān xiān zi 。 zuǐ jiǎo biān yě liú lù chū yī sī xiào róng 。
宝蛇冰魄，鼐龙真人等最顶尖的大能不用说，便是渡劫中期的芊芊仙子。嘴角边也流露出一丝笑容。
Lin Xuan's sweep was devoid of any fiery intent, but as he moved, a silver sword thread appeared.
lín xuān nà yī huà ， shì bù dài fēn háo yān huǒ ， dàn suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， yī dào yín liàng de jiàn sī què fú xiàn ér chū 。
林轩那一划，是不带分毫烟火，但随着他的动作，一道银亮的剑丝却浮现而出。
Though thin, it distorted the space wherever it passed and cut forward.
nà jiàn sī hěn xì ， dàn suǒ guò zhī chù ， kōng jiān què chū xiàn le niǔ qū ， cháo zhe qián fāng qiē gē ér qù 。
那剑丝很细，但所过之处，空间却出现了扭曲，朝着前方切割而去。
Turning a sword into a thread wasn't unusual. However, this strike by Lin Xuan clearly differed from ordinary transformations.
huà jiàn wèi sī ， bù zú wéi qí 。
化剑为丝，不足为奇。
Qianqian Fairy and other great powers who saw the subtleties were fine, but even the Great Serpent Ice Soul, Nailed Dragon True Person, and others like the Sovereign of Qingqiu felt somewhat familiar.
dàn lín xuān zhè yī jī 。 míng xiǎn yǔ pǔ tōng de huà jiàn wèi sī shì bù yí yàng dì 。
但林轩这一击。明显与普通的化剑为丝是不一样地。
It was more of a vague familiarity. The abilities they remembered using this move were different, but there was some similarity.
qiān qiān xiān zi 。 yǐ jí qí tā yī xiē kàn chū xuán miào de dù jié qī dà néng yě jiù bà le ， bǎo shé bīng pò ， nài lóng zhēn rén 。 qīng qiū guó zhǔ děng jǐ rén ， jìng rán jué de yǒu diǎn yǎn shú 。
芊芊仙子。以及其他一些看出玄妙的渡劫期大能也就罢了，宝蛇冰魄，鼐龙真人。青丘国主等几人，竟然觉得有点眼熟。
How could it be...
bù guò yě jǐn jǐn shì sì shì ér fēi nà zhǒng 。
不过也仅仅是似是而非那种。
Before these thoughts fully formed, the silver sword thread collided with his opponent's fist wind.
yǔ tā men jì yì zhōng ， shǐ chū zhè yī zhāo de dà néng bìng bù xiāng tóng 。 dàn duō duō shǎo shǎo yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù 。
与他们记忆中，使出这一招的大能并不相同。但多多少少有几分相似之处。
Silent and unseen!
zěn me huì ne ……
怎么会呢……
But in the next moment, the sky suddenly darkened.
zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， jiù jiàn nà yín liàng de jiàn sī yǔ duì fāng de quán fēng zhuàng zài le yì qǐ 。
这个念头尚未转过，就见那银亮的剑丝与对方的拳风撞在了一起。
Gale winds surged as the space where the sword thread met the fist wind began to distort and collapse.
wú shēng wú xī ！
无声无息！
The power was astonishing. But soon, the outcome was clear.
dàn xià yī kè ， zhěng gè tiān sè què zhòu rán àn le xià qù 。
但下一刻，整个天色却骤然暗了下去。
The fist wind was cut apart by the sword thread.
gāng fēng sì qǐ ， jiàn sī yǔ quán fēng jī zhuàng zhī chù ， zhěng gè kōng jiān dōu kāi shǐ niǔ qū ， suí hòu tā xiàn le xià qù 。
罡风四起，剑丝与拳风激撞之处，整个空间都开始扭曲，随后塌陷了下去。
This seemed impossible, but it wasn't something to marvel at.
nà wēi lì lìng rén zé shé ， dàn hěn kuài jiù fēn chū le shèng fù 。
那威力令人咋舌，但很快就分出了胜负。
While rule power was formidable, it didn't mean that an attack containing the laws of nature would be invincible. Tiantian's Saint Ancestor was only in his early stages and couldn't compare to百花仙子 in terms of rule power; they were not on the same level.
quán fēng bèi jiàn sī qiè kāi diào le 。
拳风被剑丝切开掉了。
Moreover, since he aimed for a sneak attack, the concealed rule power had some diminished effect on its potency.
tīng qǐ lái sì hū bù kě sī yì ， dàn qí shí yě méi yǒu shén me hǎo xī qí 。
听起来似乎不可思议，但其实也没有什么好稀奇。
After observing the battle between 百花仙子 and Jinyue True Toad, Lin Xuan gained some insights into the wondrous transformation of sword threads. With his mastery of Sword Spirit's virtual form, this enhancement further bolstered the power of transforming a sword into a thread.
fǎ zé zhī lì gù rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn bìng bú shì shuō 。 gōng jī zhòng ， yùn hán le tiān dì fǎ zé ， jiù néng gòu tiān xià wú dí le 。
法则之力固然非同小可，但并不是说。攻击中，蕴含了天地法则，就能够天下无敌了。
However, that wasn't the main point.
tiān yuán shèng zǔ bì jìng zhǐ shì chū qī ， suǒ zhǎng wò de fǎ zé zhī lì yǔ bǎi huā xiān zi wán quán bù kě bǐ ， gēn běn jiù bú shì yí gè děng jí 。
天元圣祖毕竟只是初期，所掌握的法则之力与百花仙子完全不可比，根本就不是一个等级。
Over the past two thousand years, not only had Lin Xuan increased in strength, but Nine Palaces Momentary Sword had also fully aligned its attributes. After merging with Phoenix True Blood, its power had become inconceivable.
hé kuàng tā nà yī quán jì rán shì wèi le tōu xí ， suǒ yùn hán de fǎ zé zhī lì yǐn bì shì yǐn bì ， dàn wēi lì duō duō shǎo shǎo 。 jiù huì dǎ yī xiē zhé kòu le 。
何况他那一拳既然是为了偷袭，所蕴含的法则之力隐蔽是隐蔽，但威力多多少少。就会打一些折扣了。
With his enhanced abilities and superior treasures, combining these factors made it normal for him to cut through some of the laws of nature with a sword thread.
ér lín xuān zài kàn le bǎi huā xiān zi yǔ jīn yuè zhēn chán yī yì zhī hòu ， duì yú qí chū shén rù huà de huà jiàn wèi sī shén tōng ， duō duō shǎo shǎo yě yǒu yī xiē gǎn wù 。
而林轩在看了百花仙子与金玥真蟾一役之后，对于其出神入化的化剑为丝神通，多多少少也有一些感悟。
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
jiā shàng xué huì le jiàn líng huà xū ， zì rán gèng zēng jiā huà jiàn wèi sī de wēi lì 。
加上学会了剑灵化虚，自然更增加化剑为丝的威力。
Tiantian was undoubtedly a master strategist, but Lin Xuan's combat experience was unparalleled among peers. Regardless, this move was both a test of intellect and strength.
bù guò zhè hái bú shì zuì zhǔ yào dì 。
不过这还不是最主要地。
In the end, Lin Xuan emerged victorious.
guò qù de liǎng qiān nián ， lín xuān bù jǐn shí lì zēng jiā le xǔ duō 。 jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn gèng shì jiāng shǔ xìng wán quán còu qí ， zài róng hé le fèng huáng zhēn xuè hòu 。 wēi lì gèng zēng jiā dào bù kě sī yì 。
过去的两千年，林轩不仅实力增加了许多。九宫须臾剑更是将属性完全凑齐，在融合了凤凰真血后。威力更增加到不可思议。
Initially, Tiantian had been confident in his victory with that punch. Seeing the sword thread cut through his fist wind, he almost couldn't believe his eyes.
lín xuān běn shēn shí lì qiáng le ， bǎo wù yě shì jīn fēi xī bǐ ， liǎng gè yīn sù còu zài yì qǐ ， tā shī zhǎn chū lái de huà jiàn wèi sī ， néng gòu zhǎn pò xiē xǔ tiān dì fǎ zé ， nà shì zài zhèng cháng bù guò 。
林轩本身实力强了，宝物也是今非昔比，两个因素凑在一起，他施展出来的化剑为丝，能够斩破些许天地法则，那是再正常不过。
Wasn't he right? Could this young man really be a Spirit Formation cultivator without using any treasures to counter his rule power?
suàn rén zhě rén yì suàn zhī 。
算人者人亦算之。
All shock and disbelief.
tiān yuán shèng zǔ ， gù rán shì lǎo móu shēn suàn de jiā huo ， dàn lín xuān dòu fǎ jīng yàn zhī fēng fù ， yě shì tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， wú lùn rú hé ， dōu wú fǎ qǐ jí 。
天元圣祖，固然是老谋深算的家伙，但林轩斗法经验之丰富，也是同阶修仙者，无论如何，都无法企及。
But at this moment, contemplating this was meaningless.
liǎng rén zhè yī zhāo kàn shì jiǎn dān ， rán ér què dòu zhì dòu lì 。
两人这一招看似简单，然而却斗智斗力。
The sword thread moved incredibly fast, like lightning. It had already reached the side of his body; there was no way to dodge, let alone summon defensive treasures.
zuì hòu lín xuān zì rán shì shèng lì zhě 。
最后林轩自然是胜利者。
Sizzle...
duì yú zì jǐ zhè yī quán ， tiān yuán yuán běn shì zhì zài bì děi ， jiàn nà jiàn sī jiāng quán fēng qiè pò ， yī shùn jiān jiù lái dào yǎn qián ， tā jī hū bù xiāng xìn zì jǐ de yǎn 。
对于自己这一拳，天元原本是志在必得，见那剑丝将拳风切破，一瞬间就来到眼前，他几乎不相信自己的眼。
Blood splattered!
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， bù jì chū bǎo wù ， jiù néng duì kàng zì jǐ de tiān dì fǎ zé ， zhè xiǎo jiā huo ， zhēn de shì fēn shén qī xiū shì me ？
有没有搞错，不祭出宝物，就能对抗自己的天地法则，这小家伙，真的是分神期修士么？
Tiantian's body from head to toe was split in half by that sword thread.
chú le jīng è hái shì jīng è 。
除了惊愕还是惊愕。
How could this be possible?
bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， sī liáng zhè ge yǐ jīng méi yǒu sī háo de yì yì le 。
不过此时此刻，思量这个已经没有丝毫的意义了。
While those who noticed Lin Xuan's move didn't need to mention it, the other cultivators were all stunned. This reversal of fortune was too bizarre.
nà jiàn sī sù dù kuài jí ， fēng chí diàn chè ， yǐ lái dào le zì jǐ de shēn cè ， tā duǒ wú kě duǒ ， shèn zhì lái bù jí jì chū fáng yù de bǎo wù 。
那剑丝速度快极，风驰电掣，已来到了自己的身侧，他躲无可躲，甚至来不及祭出防御的宝物。
They had no time to prepare; whoever won or lost, everything had been completely reversed.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
It couldn't be true. Tiantian was a genuine Ancient Demon Saint Ancestor, yet this young man had killed him with one strike.
xuè huā bèng jiàn ！
血花迸溅！
They felt an immense shock.
tiān yuán cóng tóu zhì zú ， jū rán bèi nà jiàn sī cóng zhōng jiān pī cì chéng le liǎng bàn 。
天元从头至足，居然被那剑丝从中间劈刺成了两半。
But the matter wasn't over.
zěn me kě néng ！
怎么可能！
Thud!
nà xiē kàn chū lín xuān nà yī jī xuán ào de jiā huo zàn qiě bù tí 。
那些看出林轩那一击玄奥的家伙暂且不提。
A muffled sound echoed as Tiantian's split body exploded. Spirit light flickered, black blood threads emerged and scattered in all directions.
qí yú de xiū xiān zhě ， wú bù jīng dāi le 。
其余的修仙者，无不惊呆了。
Soon, they gathered a few hundred feet away from the center.
zhè yě shì nán guài de 。
这也是难怪的。
Instantly, the Saint Ancestor of Tiantian reappeared intact!
jiù zài qián yī kè ， tā men hái yǐ wéi lín xuān sǐ dìng le ， kě xià yī kè ， què shì tiān yuán luò bài 。
就在前一刻，他们还以为林轩死定了，可下一刻，却是天元落败。
His body showed no wounds, but his complexion was noticeably paler compared to before.
zhè jú miàn nì zhuǎn dé wèi miǎn yě tài lí pǔ 。
这局面逆转得未免也太离谱。
This wasn't surprising. While some demonic powers could turn one into nearly immortal demon form, it didn't mean that they couldn't be killed. Like using a substitute for Transcendence, each time he used this method to escape, the cost in terms of magical power, true essence, and vitality was enormous.
kě yǐ shuō ， tā men lián sī háo zhǔn bèi yě wú ， shuí shèng shuí fù ， jiù zhěng gè diān dǎo guò lái le 。
可以说，他们连丝毫准备也无，谁胜谁负，就整个颠倒过来了。
Lin Xuan had clearly witnessed such bizarre demonic powers before, so his face showed only regret without any shock.
zěn me kě néng ， tiān yuán kě shì huò zhēn jià shí de gǔ mó shèng zǔ ， jū rán bèi zhè lín xiǎo zi yī jī miè shā diào le 。
怎么可能，天元可是货真价实的古魔圣祖，居然被这林小子一击灭杀掉了。
Tiantian was at least a Saint Ancestor. If it could be easily eliminated, Lin Xuan would have doubted himself.
tā men gǎn jué dào zhèn hàn wú bǐ 。
他们感觉到震撼无比。
Regardless, that strike achieved its intended effect. Although Tiantian escaped with his life, both his confidence and energy had weakened significantly.
Since he had made his decision, Lin Xuan's actions were swift. With his extensive experience in combat, there was no need to overthink how to respond.
Lin Xuan did not dodge or summon any defensive treasures. His movements were equally simple; with a raised right hand, he swept forward without any hint of fiery intent.
