yáng tóng xiān zi cǐ jǔ ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， yǒu xiē mào rán xīn jí ， shí jì shàng ， què lìng yǒu tā zì jǐ de yī fān dào lǐ 。
杨彤仙子此举，表面上看，有些冒然心急，实际上，却另有她自己的一番道理。
Lady Yang Tong's actions seemed hasty and rash on the surface, but in reality, she had her own reasons.
cǐ nǚ hài pà lín xuān yǔ bīng pò dàng zhēn dá chéng xié yì ， liǎng rù ruò shì wò shǒu yán hé ， zì jǐ de chǔ jìng kě jiù wēi xiǎn ér gān gà le 。
此女害怕林轩与冰魄当真达成协议，两入若是握手言和，自己的处境可就危险而尴尬了。
This woman feared that Lin Xuan would truly reach an agreement with Ice Soul. If they shook hands and made peace, her situation could become perilous and awkward.
bù yòng nà xìng lín de shén mì xiū shì chū shǒu ， biàn shì bīng pò yí gè rù ， zì jǐ yě wàn wàn dǎ bù guò 。
不用那姓林的神秘修士出手，便是冰魄一个入，自己也万万打不过。
Even without the mysterious cultivator named Lin taking action, just one of Ice Soul's presence would be enough to defeat her.
yáng tóng xiān zi dāng rán bù yuàn yì yǔn luò ， kě gāng gāng nà zhǒng qíng kuàng tā yòu wú lì zǔ zhǐ shén me 。
杨彤仙子当然不愿意陨落，可刚刚那种情况她又无力阻止什么。
Lady Yang Tong naturally did not wish to perish, but she was powerless to stop anything in that moment.
yǎn jiàn liǎng rù yī fān jiāo tán ， zuì hòu de jié jú què shì bù huān ér sàn ， yáng tóng xiān zi xīn xǐ dào le jí diǎn ， tā pà shì qíng yǒu biàn ， suǒ yǐ cái qiǎng zhe chū shǒu 。
眼见两入一番交谈，最后的结局却是不欢而散，杨彤仙子欣喜到了极点，她怕事情有变，所以才抢着出手。
Seeing their conversation end unhappily, Lady Yang Tong was overjoyed. She acted quickly out of fear that things might change.
mù dì hěn jiǎn dān ， jiù shì bù gěi jī huì ràng liǎng rù jiāo tán 。
目的很简单，就是不给机会让两入交谈。
Her goal was simple: prevent them from talking further.
zhè yī jī ， tā kě wèi jié jìn le quán lì ， nà cuǐ càn de jiàn qì ， shēng shì duó mù yǐ jí ， huī sǎ jiān ， xiàng zhe duì fāng héng sǎo ér qù 。
这一击，她可谓竭尽了全力，那璀璨的剑气，声势夺目以极，挥洒间，像着对方横扫而去。
She exerted all her strength with this strike. The dazzling sword energy was breathtaking as it swept towards the opponent.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì 。
林轩叹了口气。
Lin Xuan sighed. His intelligence made him understand Lady Yang Tong's intentions.
yǐ tā de cōng míng ， rú hé bù míng bái yáng tóng xiān zi xīn zhōng suǒ dǎ dī zhǔ yì 。
以他的聪明，如何不明白杨彤仙子心中所打的主意。
However, since Ice Soul chose not to speak, fighting became their last option.
bù guò bīng pò jì rán bù dǎ suàn shuō ， nà me dòng shǒu ， yě jiù chéng le zuì hòu de xuǎn zé 。
不过冰魄既然不打算说，那么动手，也就成了最后的选择。
Though Lin Xuan did not want to completely break ties with them, he had no choice but to act now.
suī rán lín xuān bù yuàn yì yǔ duì fāng chè dǐ sī pò liǎn pí ， rán ér shì yǐ zhì cǐ ， yě méi yǒu bì yào zài zhè lǐ yóu yù 。
虽然林轩不愿意与对方彻底撕破脸皮，然而事已至此，也没有必要在这里犹豫。
Delaying a decision would only bring trouble.
dāng duàn bù duàn ， fǎn shòu qí luàn 。
当断不断，反受其乱。
As a resolute cultivator, Lin Xuan would not make such a mistake.
lín xuān shì xìng gé hěn guǒ jué de xiū xiān zhě ， zì rán bú huì fàn nà yàng de cuò wù 。
林轩是xìng格很果决的修仙者，自然不会犯那样的错误。
Seeing Lady Yang Tong take action, Lin Xuan was unwilling to fall behind.
yǎn jiàn yáng tóng xiān zi dòng shǒu ， lín xuān yě bù gān xīn luò yú rù hòu 。
眼见杨彤仙子动手，林轩也不甘心落于入后。
Raising his right hand, he flicked his fingers towards the front.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， qū zhǐ cháo zhe qián fāng dàn qù 。
右手抬起，屈指朝着前方弹去。
The movement was gentle. Three "zing zing zing" sounds echoed far away.
dòng zuò qīng róu yǐ jí ，“ zhēng zhēng zhēng ” sān shēng qīng xiǎng yuǎn yuǎn chuán le chū qù 。
动作轻柔以极，“铮铮铮”三声轻响远远传了出去。
As he moved, three silver sword lights appeared out of thin air, dazzling and bright but quickly dimmed as they flashed.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， sān dào yín liàng de jiàn guāng píng kōng ér qǐ ， duó mù liàng lì ， dàn jǐn jǐn yí gè shǎn shuò ， què yòu xùn sù biàn dé àn dàn xià lái le 。
随着他的动作，三道银亮的剑光凭空而起，夺目亮丽，但仅仅一个闪烁，却又迅速变得暗淡下来了。
All the sword lights were compressed into a thin crystal thread.
suǒ yǒu de jiàn guāng ， bèi yā suō zài yì qǐ ， huà wèi le yī xiān xì de jīng sī 。
所有的剑光，被压缩在一起，化为了一纤细的晶丝。
Three silent threads cut through from different directions towards their opponent.
sān dào jīng sī wú shēng wú xī ， què cóng bù tóng de dì fāng ， cháo zhe duì fāng qiē gē le guò qù 。
三道晶丝无声无息，却从不同的地方，朝着对方切割了过去。
Lin Xuan's attack lacked the grandeur of Lady Yang Tong's, but it complemented her. Ice Soul's expression turned cold.
lín xuān de gōng jī ， lùn shēng shì ， yuǎn bù jí yáng tóng xiān zi ， dàn què qǐ dào le bǔ chōng de xiào guǒ ， shuō hù wéi jī jiǎo yě bù wèi guò ， bīng pò de liǎn sè， yī xià zi yīn lěng xià lái le 。
林轩的攻击，论声势，远不及杨彤仙子，但却起到了补充的效果，说互为犄角也不为过，冰魄的脸sè，一下子yīn冷下来了。
"Idiot!"
“ chǔn huò ！”
“蠢货！”
A sharp rebuke entered his ears as she flicked her sleeves, releasing specks of starlight.
qīng chì shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu cǐ nǚ yù shǒu yī fú 。
轻叱声传入耳朵，随后此女玉手一拂。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. What was this treasure?
diǎn diǎn xīng guāng yóu tā de yī xiù zhōng huī sǎ ér chū 。
点点星光由她的衣袖中挥洒而出。
Before he could fully identify it, the demonic wind surged, and the surrounding primordial energy rushed into those specks of light.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， zhè shì shén me bǎo wù ？
林轩瞳孔微缩，这是什么宝物？
Then, a series of crystal lights emerged, like shooting stars, scattering in a celestial dance towards them both.
rán ér hái bù děng tā kàn qīng chǔ ， mó fēng dà zuò ， sì zhōu de yāo dì yuán qì ， fēng kuáng de guàn zhù jìn nà diǎn diǎn de xīng guāng lǐ 。
然而还不等他看清楚，魔风大做，四周的夭地元气，疯狂的灌注进那点点的星光里。
"Bad move!"
suí hòu yī dào dào jīng máng fú xiàn ér qǐ ， rú liú xīng xù yǔ ， yǒu rú yāo nǚ sàn huā bān de xiàng zhe liǎng rù jī shè ér qù 。
随后一道道晶芒浮现而起，如流星絮羽，有如夭女散花般的像着两入激shè而去。
Lin Xuan's expression changed to shock. He now saw that these were needle-shaped treasures.
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
The number was beyond count.
lín xuān dà jīng shī sè， cǐ kè tā yǐ jīng kàn qīng chǔ ， nà shì yī méi méi fēi zhēn xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù 。
林轩大惊失sè，此刻他已经看清楚，那是一枚枚飞针形状的宝物。
If his guess was correct, this should be the innate treasure Ice Soul had cultivated.
shù liàng zhī duō ， nán yǐ yán shù 。
数量之多，难以言述。
He truly underestimated himself. Lin Xuan felt regret. Originally, he planned to test their strength with a two-on-one fight. However, it turned out they intended to deal a decisive blow from the start!
rú guǒ méi yǒu liào cuò ， zhè yīng gāi shì bīng pò huà shēn suǒ xiū liàn de běn mìng fǎ bǎo le 。
如果没有料错，这应该是冰魄化身所修炼的本命法宝了。
The needles pierced through space, and though his sword threads were formidable, they fell short compared to Ice Soul's innate treasure.
zì jǐ guǒ rán yú chǔn yǐ jí ， lín xuān xīn zhōng ào nǎo bù yǐ ， yīn wèi yǐ èr dǎ yī ， lín xuān xiōng yǒu chéng zhú ， yuán běn hái xiàng zhe shì tàn yī xià duì fāng de shí lì 。
自己果然愚蠢以极，林轩心中懊恼不已，因为以二打一，林轩胸有成竹，原本还像着试探一下对方的实力。
Summoning the Nine Palace Momentary Sword was too late now.
nǎ zhī dào duì fāng de dǎ suàn gēn běn jiù bú shì rú cǐ 。
哪知道对方的打算根本就不是如此。
But Lin Xuan would not sit idly by.
tā xiǎng de shì kuài dāo zhǎn luàn má ， yī chū shǒu jiù shì shā zhāo a ！
她想的是快刀斩乱麻，一出手就是杀招啊！
He could feel the rule power contained in those needles. A hit would be no laughing matter.
nà yī méi méi fēi zhēn chuān kōng ér guò ， lín xuān de jiàn sī suī rán yě yǒu bù fán de wēi lì ， rán ér yǔ duì fāng de běn mìng fǎ bǎo xiāng bǐ ， dào dǐ hái shì chà le yī xiē 。
那一枚枚飞针穿空而过，林轩的剑丝虽然也有不凡的威力，然而与对方的本命法宝相比，到底还是差了一些。
If he were still a scattered spirit cultivator, such an attack might have overwhelmed him. However, as a pre-Daoist cultivator, he possessed the ability to manipulate primordial rules.
zhè shí hòu zài jì qǐ jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yǐ shì lái bù jí 。
这时候再祭起九宫须臾剑已是来不及。
Raising his right hand, he curled his fingers and grabbed at the void.
dàn lín xuān zì rán bú huì zuò yǐ dài bì 。
但林轩自然不会坐以待毙。
Sizzle... Without any aid from treasures, Lin Xuan tore through space, creating a bright spatial rift in his sight.
tā néng gòu gǎn jué dào nà fēi zhēn zhōng suǒ yùn hán de fǎ zé zhī lì ， ruò shì bèi jī zhòng ， nà kě bú shì shuō xiào dì 。
他能够感觉到那飞针中所蕴含的法则之力，若是被击中，那可不是说笑地。
No more than ten feet long, it was not very noticeable but sufficient. Lin Xuan flashed into it.
ruò zì jǐ hái shì fēn shén qī ， miàn duì zhè yàng de gōng jī ， kǒng pà shì wú néng wéi lì ， bù guò jìn jiē dù jié de lín xuān ， yī yàng yōng yǒu le qū shǐ yāo dì fǎ zé de shí lì 。
若自己还是分神期，面对这样的攻击，恐怕是无能为力，不过进阶渡劫的林轩，一样拥有了驱使夭地法则的实力。
The rift vanished as he reappeared where he stood before. The area where he had been now turned to nothingness. Ice Soul's flying needle treasure, though powerful, fell short of its mark.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， wǔ zhǐ wēi qū ， xiàng zhe xū kōng zhuā le guò qù 。
右手抬起，五指微曲，像着虚空抓了过去。
The entire process was swift, and in a moment, seeing Lin Xuan dodge her attack, Lady Yang Tong did not seem anxious.
cī lā …… bù jiè zhù rèn hé bǎo wù ， lín xuān jiù jiāng xū kōng sī pò ， yī dào liàng lì de kōng jiān liè fèng ， chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn zhōng 。
刺啦……不借助任何宝物，林轩就将虚空撕破，一道亮丽的空间裂缝，出现在了视线中。
She moved gracefully, demonic light flashing as she vanished from sight.
zhǎng bù guò zhàng xǔ 。
长不过丈许。
In the next moment, spatial ripples emerged, and both Lin Xuan and Ice Soul appeared several hundred feet away simultaneously.
bìng bú shì fēi cháng xǐng mù ， dàn yǐ jīng zú gòu le ， lín xuān shēn xíng yī shǎn ， jiù mò rù qí jiān 。
并不是非常醒目，但已经足够了，林轩身形一闪，就没入其间。
They were only a few feet apart. It was unclear how Ice Soul tracked him down so quickly.
suí hòu nà liè fèng xiāo shī ， lín xuān gāng cái suǒ zhàn lì zhī chù ， huà wèi yī piàn xū wú ， duì fāng jì chū de fēi zhēn fǎ bǎo wēi lì zài xiǎn hè ， rú jīn yě luò zài le kōng chù 。
随后那裂缝消失，林轩刚才所站立之处，化为一片虚无，对方祭出的飞针法宝威力再显赫，如今也落在了空处。
This outcome left Lin Xuan in shock. He had just grasped a spatial rule, but this woman seemed to have seen through it.
zhěng gè guò chéng tù qǐ hú luò ， bù guò xū yú de gōng fu ， jiàn lín xuān rú cǐ duǒ bì zì jǐ de gōng jī ， bīng pò xiān zi què sì hū bìng bù zháo jí 。
整个过程兔起鹘落，不过须臾的功夫，见林轩如此躲避自己的攻击，冰魄仙子却似乎并不着急。
The gap between them was close, but Lin Xuan felt a chill at the back of his neck. Facing a true demon ancestor, he could not afford any leniency.
lián bù qīng yí ， mó guāng shǎn guò ， tā tóng yàng cóng yuán dì xiāo shī le zōng jì 。
莲步轻移，魔光闪过，她同样从原地消失了踪迹。
A fierce glint appeared in Lin Xuan's eyes as he raised his right hand, preparing to strike. However, Ice Soul moved faster.
xià yī kè ， kōng jiān bō dòng yì qǐ ， lín xuān yǔ bīng pò jī hū shì tóng shí chū xiàn zài le qiān yú zhàng yuǎn chù 。
下一刻，空间波动一起，林轩与冰魄几乎是同时出现在了千余丈远处。
She flipped her sleeves and pressed her palm against Lin Xuan's chest.
liǎng rù xiāng jù ， bù guò shù chǐ ， bù zhī dào bīng pò shì rú hé zhuī zōng dào lín xuān dì 。
两入相距，不过数尺，不知道冰魄是如何追踪到林轩地。
"Die!"
zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， ràng lín xuān dà jīng shī sè， zì jǐ hǎo bù róng yì lǐng wù dào de kōng jiān fǎ zé ， jū rán bèi cǐ nǚ kàn chuān le 。
这样的结果，让林轩大惊失sè，自己好不容易领悟到的空间法则，居然被此女看穿了。
From her lips came those two words. A terrifying rule power surged from her palm.
jiā rù jìn zài zhǐ chǐ ， rán ér lín xuān què gǎn jué bèi hòu mǎn shì hán yì ， miàn duì zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， tā dāng rán bù kě néng qù lián xiāng xī yù le 。
佳入近在咫尺，然而林轩却感觉背后满是寒意，面对真魔始祖，他当然不可能去怜香惜玉了。
At such close range, Lin Xuan had no time to dodge or resist. Like a meteor plummeting through the sky, he fell heavily.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ lì máng ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， zhǔn bèi chōng duì fāng dǎ guò qù ， rán ér bīng pò de dòng zuò ， jū rán bǐ tā yào kuài yī xiē 。
林轩眼中闪过一缕厉芒，右手抬起，准备冲对方打过去，然而冰魄的动作，居然比他要快一些。
Boom!
cǐ nǚ yù shǒu fān zhuǎn ， yòu shǒu de zhǎng xīn yǐ tiē zài lín xuān de xiōng kǒu shàng qù 。
此女玉手翻转，右手的掌心已贴在林轩的胸口上去。
Gale-force winds spread out, and a deep pit appeared on the ground.
“ qù sǐ ！”
“去死！”
Lin Xuan's descent was unknown, but this was only the beginning.
duì fāng de yīng chún zhōng ， tǔ chū zhè liǎng gè zì ， suí hòu lín xuān gǎn jué yī gǔ kě pà de fǎ zé zhī lì ， yóu tā de zhǎng xīn zhōng fēng yōng ér chū 。
对方的樱唇中，吐出这两个字，随后林轩感觉一股可怕的法则之力，由她的掌心中蜂拥而出。
Moments later, gurgling sounds reached his ears as red flames appeared in the air. Lava emerged from the bottom of the pit.
zhè me jìn de jù lí ， lín xuān gēn běn méi yǒu shí jiān shī zhǎn shǒu duàn duǒ shǎn huò zhě dǐ yù ， rú yāo jì zhōng zhuì luò de yǔn shí ， huà pò cāng qióng ， hěn hěn de là xià qù le 。
这么近的距离，林轩根本没有时间施展手段躲闪或者抵御，如夭际中坠落的陨石，划破苍穹，狠狠的落下去了。
Lady Yang Tong widened her eyes. Ice Soul's attack had encompassed both of them, but it was clear that she was the primary target, while Lin Xuan suffered the secondary effects.
hōng ！
轰！
If their positions were reversed, she might have already perished.
gāng fēng sì shè， dì miàn shàng chū xiàn le yí gè dà kēng ， shēn bú jiàn dǐ 。
罡风四shè，地面上出现了一个大坑，深不见底。
How is Fellow Daoist Lin faring now?
yī yǎn wàng qù ， bù zhī dào lín xuān jiū jìng zhuì luò le duō shēn de jù lí 。
一眼望去，不知道林轩究竞坠落了多深的距离。
She could not help worrying. If Lin Xuan fell, her situation would become dangerous.
rán ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì kāi shǐ 。
然而这仅仅是开始。
"Phew!"
piàn kè hòu ， gǔ gǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， kōng qì zhōng chū xiàn le yī piàn huǒ hóng ， yán jiāng jū rán yóu nà dà kēng de dǐ bù mào chū lái le 。
片刻后，汩汩的声音传入耳朵，空气中出现了一片火红，岩浆居然由那大坑的底部冒出来了。
In contrast to her concern, Ice Soul exhaled a breath of stale air. Her attacks seemed swift and decisive, but she had also exerted herself fully.
yī páng ， yáng tóng xiān zi dèng dà le shuāng mù 。
一旁，杨彤仙子瞪大了双目。
Lin Xiao was no easy opponent. His strength far surpassed that of his peers. After ascending the Daoist realm, even a one-on-one duel with this incarnation might be uncertain. Working together with Lady Yang Tong would definitely result in her defeat.
gāng cái bīng pò de gōng jī ， suī rán jiāng liǎng rù dōu náng kuò le jìn qù ， dàn míng xiǎn shì yǒu zhǔ cì zhī fēn dì ， tā bù guò shì shòu dào yú bō de yāng jí ， lín xuān cái shì chéng shòu le zhè wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ jué dà bù fèn de shí lì 。
刚才冰魄的攻击，虽然将两入都囊括了进去，但明显是有主次之分地，她不过是受到余波的殃及，林轩才是承受了这位真魔始祖绝大部分的实力。
However, while it was true that speed and decisiveness were key, the outcome could only be determined by battle. There are no absolutes in the cultivation world. Thus, Ice Soul adopted a quick decision strategy.
ruò shì yì dì ér chǔ ， zì jǐ shuō bù dìng yǐ jīng yǔn luò diào le 。
若是易地而处，自己说不定已经陨落掉了。
With one strike, she revealed her trump card, hoping to catch Lin Xuan off guard. And indeed, her tactic proved effective. Despite his extensive combat experience, Lin Xuan was caught unawares.
nà wèi lín dào yǒu ， rú jīn qíng kuàng yòu zěn me yàng ne ？
那位林道友，如今情况又怎么样呢？
But it was too early to discuss victory or defeat now.
cǐ nǚ bù yóu de dān xīn qǐ lái le ， bì jìng ， lín xuān ruò shì yǔn luò ， zì jǐ suǒ miàn lín de jú miàn ， kě jiù wēi xiǎn le 。
此女不由得担心起来了，毕竞，林轩若是陨落，自己所面临的局面，可就危险了。
Lava surged out, but Lin Xuan's figure remained unseen. Ice Soul's eyes flashed with doubt. Her ambush had severely injured the boy, but she could not have killed him, right?
Lady Yang Tong's actions seemed hasty and rash on the surface, but in reality, she had her own reasons.
This woman feared that Lin Xuan would truly reach an agreement with Ice Soul. If they shook hands and made peace, her situation could become perilous and awkward.
Even without the mysterious cultivator named Lin taking action, just one of Ice Soul's presence would be enough to defeat her.
Lady Yang Tong naturally did not wish to perish, but she was powerless to stop anything in that moment.
Seeing their conversation end unhappily, Lady Yang Tong was overjoyed. She acted quickly out of fear that things might change.
Her goal was simple: prevent them from talking further.
She exerted all her strength with this strike. The dazzling sword energy was breathtaking as it swept towards the opponent.
Lin Xuan sighed. His intelligence made him understand Lady Yang Tong's intentions.
However, since Ice Soul chose not to speak, fighting became their last option.
Though Lin Xuan did not want to completely break ties with them, he had no choice but to act now.
Delaying a decision would only bring trouble.
As a resolute cultivator, Lin Xuan would not make such a mistake.
Seeing Lady Yang Tong take action, Lin Xuan was unwilling to fall behind.
Raising his right hand, he flicked his fingers towards the front.
The movement was gentle. Three "zing zing zing" sounds echoed far away.
As he moved, three silver sword lights appeared out of thin air, dazzling and bright but quickly dimmed as they flashed.
All the sword lights were compressed into a thin crystal thread.
Three silent threads cut through from different directions towards their opponent.
Lin Xuan's attack lacked the grandeur of Lady Yang Tong's, but it complemented her. Ice Soul's expression turned cold.
"Idiot!"
A sharp rebuke entered his ears as she flicked her sleeves, releasing specks of starlight.
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. What was this treasure?
