bú duì ， rú guǒ duì fāng zhēn shì yīn sī liù wáng zhī yī ， yòu zěn me huì chū xiàn zài zhè shī luò de jiè miàn lǐ 。
不对，如果对方真是阴司六王之一，又怎么会出现在这失落的界面里。
No, if the opponent were one of the Six Kings of阴司 (Yinshi), they wouldn't have appeared in this lost realm.
jù lín xuān suǒ zhī ， zǎo zài ā xiū luó wáng dài lǐng yīn sī guǐ wù ， shā shàng líng jiè zhī qián ， zhè shī luò de jiè miàn ， jiù yǐ chéng xíng le 。
据林轩所知，早在阿修罗王带领阴司鬼物，杀上灵界之前，这失落的界面，就已成形了。
According to Lin Xuan's knowledge, long before King Asura led the ghostly creatures into the Spirit Realm, this lost realm had already taken shape.
yǔ líng jiè yī zhàn ， yōu míng àn wáng nǎi shì yuè ér huī xià de dà jiàng zhī yī ， yǔ líng jiè zhū duō dà néng ， dōu jiāo shǒu guò ， nán dào shuō ， tā shì zài zhè zhī hòu ， cái bèi xī jìn shī luò jiè miàn lǐ de 。
与灵界一战，幽冥暗王乃是月儿麾下的大将之一，与灵界诸多大能，都交手过，难道说，他是在这之后，才被吸进失落界面里的。
During their battle with the Spirit Realm, the Dark King of the Underworld was one of Moonling's major generals and had fought against many great cultivators from the Spirit Realm. Could it be that he only ended up being sucked into the lost realm after that?
zhè sì hū shì hé lǐ de jiě shì 。
这似乎是合理的解释。
This seemed like a reasonable explanation.
kě bù yào wàng le ， yīn sī liù wáng ， nà shì hé zhǒng děng jiē de qiáng zhě ， bǐ zhī sàn xiān yě bù xùn sè ， jiù suàn bù shàn cháng kōng jiān fǎ zé ， dàn yǐ tā men jué qiáng de shí lì ， sī liè kōng jiān nà yě shì qīng ér yì jǔ 。
可不要忘了，阴司六王，那是何种等阶的强者，比之散仙也不逊色，就算不擅长空间法则，但以他们绝强的实力，撕裂空间那也是轻而易举。
But Lin Xuan couldn't forget that the Six Kings of Yinshi were formidable powerhouses, not inferior to Loose Immortals. Even if they weren't adept at spatial laws, their immense strength made tearing through space an easy task.
zhè yàng de cún zài ， jiù suàn bèi shī luò de jiè miàn xī le jìn qù ， yòu zěn me huì zhì liú zài nǎ lǐ 。
这样的存在，就算被失落的界面吸了进去，又怎么会滞留在哪里。
Such beings wouldn't be stuck in this lost realm; logically speaking, he should easily find a way out.
àn lǐ shuō ， tā xiǎng yào lí kāi cǐ chù ， yīng gāi shì qīng ér yì jǔ 。
按理说，他想要离开此处，应该是轻而易举。
Lin Xuan's mind raced with thoughts but the more he pondered, the more confused he became. He had no clear idea of what was happening and didn't have time to think it through completely.
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng zhū bān niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， què yuè xiǎng yuè shì mí hū 。
林轩脑海中诸般念头转过，却越想越是迷糊。
The formidable enemy still circled around him! The opponent had given Lin Xuan an opportunity for a sneak attack. He intended to use a complete series of strikes to leave a lasting impression.
jù tǐ shì zěn me yī huí shì ， tā xiàn zài fēn háo tóu xù yě wú ， yě méi yǒu shí jiān qù yī yī sī suǒ 。
具体是怎么一回事，他现在分毫头绪也无，也没有时间去一一思索。
Unfortunately, while the first few moves had some effect, the remaining Nine Palace Must臾剑 were deftly dodged by his opponent.
rú jīn qiáng dí hái huán shì zài cè ！
如今强敌还环视在侧！
Though he seized the chance well, it didn't yield the desired results.
duì fāng yī shí dà yì ， gěi le lín xuān jī huì tōu xí ， tā běn xiǎng yòng yī tào wán zhěng de lián jī ， gěi duì fāng lái gè jì yì shēn kè de jīng xǐ 。
对方一时大意，给了林轩机会偷袭，他本想用一套完整的连击，给对方来个记忆深刻的惊喜。
Lin Xuan's expression was now genuinely serious. Whether or not the opponent was one of the Six Kings of Yinshi, they would be an unprecedented challenge for him.
kě xī chú le zuì chū nà yī jì yǒu diǎn xiào guǒ ， hòu miàn de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn quán dōu bèi duì fāng yǒu tiáo bù wěn de duǒ guò 。
可惜除了最初那一季有点效果，后面的九宫须臾剑全都被对方有条不紊的躲过。
He had already faced several battles against cultivators at the early渡劫 stage, but this guy was entirely different from his previous enemies, despite similar levels of cultivation, their displayed strength was on a completely different level.
tōu xí de jī huì lín xuān bǎ wò dé bù cuò ， què bìng méi yǒu shōu dào shén me yù xiǎng de xiào guǒ 。
偷袭的机会林轩把握得不错，却并没有收到什么预想的效果。
Overcoming such a formidable enemy?
lín xuān de liǎn sè zhè yī cì shì zhēn de níng zhòng le 。
林轩的脸色这一次是真的凝重了。
Lin Xuan no longer dared to entertain such unrealistic thoughts. Fortunately, his task was merely to hold them off—more accurately, to delay them.
bù guǎn duì fāng de běn tǐ ， shì bú shì yīn sī liù wáng zhī yī ， dōu jiāng shì zì jǐ qián suǒ wèi yù de qiáng dí 。
不管对方的本体，是不是阴司六王之一，都将是自己前所未遇的强敌。
He would try to wear down the time as much as possible. Once the treasure was successfully refined, he could find a way out of this place.
miàn duì dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， lín xuān yǐ jīng yǒu guò jǐ cì dòu fǎ de jīng yàn le 。
面对渡劫初期的修仙者，林轩已经有过几次斗法的经验了。
On the surface, it wasn't an impossible task, but at that moment, Lin Xuan felt immense pressure.
rán ér yǎn qián zhè jiā huo ， yǔ zì jǐ yǐ qián yù jiàn de dí rén wán quán bù tóng ， jí biàn jìng jiè xiāng chà fǎng fú ， suǒ zhǎn xiàn chū lái de shí lì què wán quán bú shì yí gè céng miàn de 。
然而眼前这家伙，与自己以前遇见的敌人完全不同，即便境界相差仿佛，所展现出来的实力却完全不是一个层面的。
But he wouldn't leave things to chance; since he had chosen to stay, he would do his utmost to hold them off. He must keep him here or all his efforts over half a year would be in vain.
zhàn shèng qiáng dí ？
战胜强敌？
Lin Xuan raised his head and saw the terrifying old monster looking this way too. His voice carried into Lin Xuan's ears, revealing obvious surprise.
lín xuān xiàn zài ， shì bù gǎn yǒu zhè zhǒng bù qiē shí jì de dǎ suàn dì 。
林轩现在，是不敢有这种不切实际的打算地。
"Nine Palace Must臾剑, complete version! Little guy, are you not a cultivator but rather a witch from the Moonling Clan? A Heavenly Witch Goddess? What is your connection to her? According to me, while there are many talented youngsters in the Moonling Clan, few can master the Moonling Heavenly Witch Art. Even fewer can refine it into a complete attribute treasure."
hǎo zài zì jǐ de rèn wù zhǐ shì dǎng zhù 。
好在自己的任务只是挡住。
From his tone, Lin Xuan could easily discern his shock and doubt. But at that moment, Lin Xuan's own astonishment far outweighed his.
shuō dé zài què qiè yì diǎn jiù shì tuō yán 。
说得再确切一点就是拖延。
Was this old guy a monster?
jǐn liàng jiāng shí jiān xiāo mó ， zhǐ yào bǎo wù liàn zhì chéng gōng ， zì jǐ jiù kě yǐ xiǎng bàn fǎ tuō shēn lí kāi cǐ chù 。
尽量将时间消磨，只要宝物炼制成功，自己就可以想办法脱身离开此处。
He had never seen anyone with such extensive knowledge; even after just one move, he was able to identify its origin so clearly as if reciting from memory.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， bìng bù suàn shén me nán yǐ wán chéng de rèn wù 。
表面上看，并不算什么难以完成的任务。
Lin Xuan's mind began to race. Even if the opponent wasn't one of the Six Kings of Yinshi, his knowledge and strength were likely on par.
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān què gǎn jué dào le mò dà de yā lì 。
然而此时此刻，林轩却感觉到了莫大的压力。
"Little guy, you are a witch from the Moonling Clan. If it were Heavenly Witch Goddess here, I might have some reservations, but with you, trying to stop me is sheer overconfidence."
dàn jìn rén shì ér tīng tiān mìng bú shì tā de xìng gé ， jì rán xuǎn zé liú xià jiù yào jié jìn suǒ néng de jiāng duì fāng dǎng zhù 。
但尽人事而听天命不是他的性格，既然选择留下就要竭尽所能的将对方挡住。
Before he could finish speaking, the old monster attacked.
bì xū jiāng tā liú zài zhè lǐ ， fǒu zé ， zì jǐ dà bàn nián de nǔ lì ， qǐ bù shì bái fèi le 。
必须将他留在这里，否则，自己大半年的努力，岂不是白费了。
This time, he didn't use any treasure; instead, he waved his sleeves and the surrounding dark energy was sucked in like a whale drinking water.
lín xuān tái qǐ tóu lú ， zhèng hǎo nà kě pà de lǎo guài wù yě wàng xiàng cǐ chù ， shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lǐ miàn de chà yì ， zěn me yě yǎn shì bú zhù 。
林轩抬起头颅，正好那可怕的老怪物也望向此处，声音传入耳朵，里面的诧异，怎么也掩饰不住。
Then it condensed into a three-pronged black trident a dozen feet long. The entire trident was composed of dense dark energy, almost tangible.
“ jiǔ gōng xū yú ， jū rán hái shì wán zhěng bǎn de ， xiǎo jiā huo ， nán dào shuō ， nǐ bìng fēi xiū shì ， ér shì mò yuè yī zú de wū shī ， tiān wū shén nǚ ， yǔ nǐ shén me guān xì ， jù lǎo fū suǒ zhī ， mò yuè yī zú ， suī rán yě yǒu bù shǎo zī zhì bù cuò de xiǎo jiā huo ， dàn mò yuè tiān wū jué tiáo jiàn kē kè ， néng gòu xiū liàn de zú rén bìng bù duō ， gèng bú yào shuō ， néng gòu liàn zhì chéng wán zhěng shǔ xìng de běn mìng bǎo wù 。”
“九宫须臾，居然还是完整版的，小家伙，难道说，你并非修士，而是墨月一族的巫师，天巫神女，与你什么关系，据老夫所知，墨月一族，虽然也有不少资质不错的小家伙，但墨月天巫诀条件苛刻，能够修炼的族人并不多，更不要说，能够炼制成完整属性的本命宝物。”
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. He knew this technique of gathering energy to form treasures but finding someone who could do so with such ease and naturalness was beyond his reach.
cóng duì fāng de kǒu qì ， bù nán tīng chū xīn zhōng de jīng yí ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān xīn zhōng de zhèn hàn ， què yào gèng shèng tā xǔ duō 。
从对方的口气，不难听出心中的惊疑，然而此时此刻，林轩心中的震撼，却要更胜他许多。
He couldn't predict the next move, but against such a formidable opponent, striking first was always better.
zhè lǎo jiā huǒ ， nán dào shì guài wù ？
这老家伙，难道是怪物？
Lin Xuan cast a spell forward.
jiàn guò jiàn shí guǎng bó de xiū xiān zhě ， méi jiàn guò shéi de jiàn shí ， néng gòu guǎng bó dào zhè zhǒng chéng dù 。
见过见识广博的修仙者，没见过谁的见识，能够广博到这种程度。
The Nine Palace Must臾剑 flashed, causing ripples in the spirit light. It split into three, then nine, quickly covering the entire sky.
zì jǐ cái chū le yī zhāo ， lái lì jiù bèi tā kàn pò 。
自己才出了一招，来历就被他看破。
Looking out, everything sparkled silver like waves, layer upon layer, with an imposing presence.
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ， mò yuè tiān wū jué ， cóng duì fāng kǒu zhōng dào lái ， háo wú shēng sè ， jiù yǔ rú shǔ jiā zhēn chà bu duō 。
九宫须臾剑，墨月天巫诀，从对方口中道来，毫无生涩，就与如数家珍差不多。
"Go!"
lín xuān xīn zhōng kāi shǐ le dǎ gǔ ， duì fāng jiù suàn bú shì yīn sī liù wáng zhī yī ， jiàn shí shí lì ， kǒng pà yě xiāng chā wú jǐ 。
林轩心中开始了打鼓，对方就算不是阴司六王之一，见识实力，恐怕也相差无几。
Faced with such a formidable opponent, Lin Xuan spared no effort. He pointed his finger forward and hundreds of sword lights buzzed as they transformed into a dazzling silver light霞, sweeping towards the opponent at lightning speed.
“ xiǎo jiā huo ， yuán lái nǐ shì mò yuè zú de wū shī ， ruò shì tiān wū shén nǚ jià lín cǐ chù ， běn wáng shuō bù 「 bǎi dù tiē ba qǐ háng míng ér 」 dé hái yǒu jǐ fēn gù jì ， dàn jiù nǐ ， xiǎng yào dǎng zhù wǒ ， què wèi miǎn tài zì bù liàng lì 。”
“小家伙，原来你是墨月族的巫师，若是天巫神女驾临此处，本王说不「百度贴吧启航明儿」得还有几分顾忌，但就你，想要挡住我，却未免太自不量力。”
"Trivial trick!"
huà yīn wèi luò ， duì fāng dòng shǒu le 。
话音未落，对方动手了。
The old monster paid no mind to this magnificent attack. He raised his right hand and grasped the black trident, then thrust it forward.
zhè yī cì ， tā yī jiù méi yǒu jì chū shén me bǎo wù ， jǐn jǐn shì xiù páo yī fú ， nà màn tiān de yīn qì ， jiù rú zhǎng jīng xī shuǐ yì bān ， bèi tā qǔ dào le miàn qián 。
这一次，他依旧没有祭出什么宝物，仅仅是袖袍一拂，那漫天的阴气，就如长鲸吸水一般，被他取到了面前。
Though he seemed casual, dark energy surged out, forming a bright black beam that instantly split open the entire sky.
suí hòu wǎng zhōng jiān yī jù ， què shì yī zhǎng zhàng xǔ ， tōng tǐ wū hēi de sān chā jǐ yìng rù yǎn lián 。
随后往中间一聚，却是一长丈许，通体乌黑的三叉戟映入眼帘。
The beam's imposing presence caught Lin Xuan off guard. Did he intend to overwhelm with sheer force?
tōng tǐ dōu shì yīn qì suǒ jù ， què níng hòu yǐ jí ， rú yǒu shí tǐ 。
通体都是阴气所聚，却凝厚以极，如有实体。
"Quickly!"
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， zhè zhǒng jù qì wèi bǎo de shén tōng tā dāng rán tīng shuō guò ， shèn zhì xiǎng yào shī zhǎn chū yī èr ， yě bìng bù nán ， dàn yǔ duì fāng de jǔ zhòng ruò qīng ， hún rán tiān chéng xiāng bǐ ， què pāi mǎ nán jí 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，这种聚气为宝的神通他当然听说过，甚至想要施展出一二，也并不难，但与对方的举重若轻，浑然天成相比，却拍马难及。
Lin Xuan wouldn't let him have his way. He changed his spell rapidly.
bù zhī dào duì fāng de xià yī zhāo shì shén me ， dàn miàn duì zhè zhǒng qiáng dí ， xiān xià shǒu wéi qiáng zǒng shì méi cuò 。
不知道对方的下一招是什么，但面对这种强敌，先下手为强总是没错。
Instantly, silver light blazed, and the sword lights in the sky vanished. Instead, countless thin silver threads emerged, equally dazzling.
lín xuān yī dào fǎ jué xiàng qián dǎ chū 。
林轩一道法诀向前打出。
Though these silver threads were fine, each was a dozen feet long. There were more of them than the sword lights, and their angles were extremely sharp.
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yī shǎn ， líng guāng dà zuò de chàn dǒu qǐ lái ， yī huà wèi sān ， sān huà wèi jiǔ ， hěn kuài céng céng dié dié ， bù mǎn le zhěng gè tiān jì 。
九宫须臾剑一闪，灵光大做的颤抖起来，一化为三，三化为九，很快层层叠叠，布满了整个天际。
The beam though it covered half the sky couldn't block all the threads. The ghostly figure frowned, showing signs of surprise: "Transforming swords into threads—could you be from the Hundred Flowers Clan? No, not only is her character unsuitable for taking male disciples, even if there was no such rule, a Moonling Clan member wouldn't dare to seek her as a teacher."
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， mǎn mù dōu shì cuǐ càn de yín sè ， rú bō làng yì bān ， céng céng dié dié ， shēng shì xiǎn hè yǐ jí 。
放眼望去，满目都是璀璨的银色，如波浪一般，层层叠叠，声势显赫以极。
Surprise after surprise.
“ qù ！”
“去！”
This little guy seemed more mysterious than he had imagined.
miàn duì zhè zhǒng qiáng dí ， lín xuān zì rán shì sī háo yě bù gǎn yǒu dài màn zhī yì ， yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， shù bǎi dào jiàn guāng wēng míng zhī xià ， huà wèi yī piàn cuǐ càn de yín sè guāng xiá ， fēi yě shì de xiàng duì fāng xí juǎn ér zhì 。
面对这种强敌，林轩自然是丝毫也不敢有怠慢之意，一指向前点出，随着他的动作，数百道剑光嗡鸣之下，化为一片璀璨的银色光霞，飞也似的像对方席卷而至。
Transforming swords into threads wasn't an extraordinary secret technique; many cultivators knew it. But Fairy Hundred Flowers excelled in this art, and the way she used it was vastly different from others'.
“ diāo chóng xiǎo jì ！”
“雕虫小技！”
Though Lin Xuan hadn't received direct instruction from her, witnessing the battle between Hundred Flowers and True Toad Jin Yue had given him much insight. His imitation of her move was quite similar, which was why the old monster suspected his identity.
No, if the opponent were one of the Six Kings of阴司 (Yinshi), they wouldn't have appeared in this lost realm.
According to Lin Xuan's knowledge, long before King Asura led the ghostly creatures into the Spirit Realm, this lost realm had already taken shape.
During their battle with the Spirit Realm, the Dark King of the Underworld was one of Moonling's major generals and had fought against many great cultivators from the Spirit Realm. Could it be that he only ended up being sucked into the lost realm after that?
