bsp; yī zhe bù shèn mǎn pán jiē shū 。
bsp; 一着不慎满盘皆输。
One wrong move could lose the whole game.
liǎng rén jiē shì yòu jīng yòu nù 。
两人皆是又惊又怒。
Both were shocked and angry. The Sword Lake Palace and Cloud Concealment Sect were at odds, so how could they not be aware that their two senior elders had tacitly approved of this? Otherwise, why would a sect’s Spirit Refinement period cultivators dare to make such decisions without their consent?
jiàn hú gōng yǔ yún yǐn zōng jiāo wù , tā men liǎng rén zuò wèi tài shàng zhǎng lǎo yòu qǐ huì bù qīng chǔ , suī rán yì zhí bù céng chū shǒu guò , dàn què shì mò xǔ le de 。
剑湖宫与云隐宗交恶,他们两人做为太上长老又岂会不清楚,虽然一直不曾出手过,但却是默许了的。
Their tacit approval was due to their own considerations. First, the Spirit Eye Lake obtained by Cloud Concealment Sect was truly extraordinary. Although its area couldn’t match that of their main sect, the concentration of qi was so high it could even crystallize.
fǒu zé , gāi pài de fēn shén qī xiū shì , yòu nǎ ér nà me dà dǎn zi , gǎn bèi zhe tā liǎ , shàn zì zuò zhǔ 。
否则,该派的分神期修士,又哪儿那么大胆子,敢背着他俩,擅自做主。
Such effects were rare in the spirit realm; if they didn’t know about it, why would they miss such an opportunity? With this Spirit Eye Lake, their cultivation might advance further. After all, meditating in such a place with abundant qi would surely yield twice the result with half the effort.
ér liǎng rén zhī suǒ yǐ mò xǔ , yě shì yǒu zì jǐ de kǎo lǜ 。
而两人之所以默许,也是有自己的考虑。
Thus, this treasure was something they had to obtain.
yī lái , shì yún yǐn zōng suǒ huò de nà líng yǎn zhī hú , wěi shí fēi tóng xiǎo kě , miàn jī suī rán wú fǎ yǔ běn mén xiāng bǐ , dàn líng qì zhī nóng , què dào le kě yǐ ràng líng qì jīng huà de chéng dù 。
一来,是云隐宗所获的那灵眼之湖,委实非同小可,面积虽然无法与本门相比,但灵气之浓,却到了可以让灵气晶化的程度。
The only miscalculation was that Cloud Concealment Sect proved so tenacious. This exceeded their expectations greatly.
yǒu lèi sì xiào guǒ de xiān shān dòng fǔ , fàng yǎn líng jiè nà yě shì kě yù ér bù kě qiú zhī wù , ruò shì bù xiǎo de yě jiù bà le , zhè yàng de jī huì bǎi zài yǎn qián , nǎ ér yǒu dào lǐ cuò guò 。
有类似效果的仙山洞府,放眼灵界那也是可遇而不可求之物,若是不晓得也就罢了,这样的机会摆在眼前,哪儿有道理错过。
Technically speaking, it wasn’t their fault for underestimating them; although Cloud Concealment Sect’s reputation had grown in recent years, compared to Sword Lake Palace, it was like a small witch before a great one. The two sects’ strengths were incomparable.
zhǐ yào dé dào zhè líng yǎn zhī hú , liǎng rén de xiū wèi kě néng gèng jìn yí bù , bì jìng zài zhè me líng qì nóng yù de bǎo dì dǎ zuò , bú yòng shuō , nà kěn dìng yǒu shì bàn gōng bèi de xiào guǒ 。
只要得到这灵眼之湖,两人的修为可能更进一步,毕竟在这么灵气浓郁的宝地打坐,不用说,那肯定有事半功倍的效果。
They merely wanted to obtain a treasure from the other side, even if it seemed like bullying the weak, but what of it? In the cultivation world, might is right.
suǒ yǐ zhè bǎo wù tā men zhì zài bì děi 。
所以这宝物他们志在必得。
Although Cloud Concealment Sect’s strength wasn’t worth mentioning, their cultivators couldn’t be unaware of this simple truth. If they were smart, they should have willingly handed over the Spirit Eye Lake, which would naturally stop hostilities and even bring them some goodwill from their main sect.
wéi yī shī suàn de shì , yún yǐn zōng jū rán nán chán dào rú cǐ dì bù 。
唯一失算的是,云隐宗居然难缠到如此地步。
Their plans seemed well thought out; from the start, they had treated Cloud Concealment Sect as fish on a chopping board. They never dreamed that Lin Xuan would be an unpredictable variable.
zhè yì diǎn , shí zài tài chū hū liǎng rén de yù liào le 。
这一点,实在太出乎两人的预料了。
As the saying goes: "Man is meat for the butcher's block." However, because of Lin Xuan’s appearance, the roles were suddenly reversed. Cloud Concealment Sect wouldn’t allow themselves to be slaughtered; instead, they took control.
qí shí yán gé shuō lái , yě bù néng guài liǎng rén qīng dí , yún yǐn zōng zhè xiē nián , suī shēng míng dà zuò , dàn yǔ jiàn hú gōng xiāng bǐ , bì jìng shì xiǎo wū jiàn dà wū 。
其实严格说来,也不能怪两人轻敌,云隐宗这些年,虽声名大作,但与剑湖宫相比,毕竟是小巫见大巫。
This young man Lin was even more outrageous. He dared to enter their main sect’s stronghold alone, treating Sword Lake Palace as if it didn’t exist. And he succeeded—hundreds of Spirit Refinement period cultivators fled at his approach, like rats scurrying away from a street.
liǎng gè zōng mén de shí lì , gēn běn jiù bú shì yí gè děng jí de 。
两个宗门的实力,根本就不是一个等级的。
Such humiliation meant they had lost face for the Sword Lake Palace. No, this was unprecedented since ancient times; even though Senior Brother was missing, there were still two of them to protect the main sect—how could outsiders treat them with such disrespect?
bù guò shì xiǎng yào cóng tā men nà ér qiú qǔ yī jiàn bǎo wù , suī rán yǒu yǐ dà qī xiǎo de xián yí , dàn nà yòu rú hé , xiū xiān jiè yuán běn jiù shì qiáng zhě wèi zūn de 。
不过是想要从他们那儿求取一件宝物,虽然有以大欺小的嫌疑,但那又如何,修仙界原本就是强者为尊的。
Their expressions turned grim as they thought about it. Since Lin Xuan dared to come here boldly, he would be killed right here today.
yún yǐn zōng de shí lì suī rán bù zhí yī tí , dàn gāi pài xiū shì yě bù kě néng bù míng bái zhè jiǎn dān de dào lǐ , tā men ruò shì cōng míng , jiù yīng gāi zhǔ dòng jiāo chū nà líng yǎn zhī hú , rú cǐ yī lái , zì rán kě yǐ zhǐ xī gān gē , shèn zhì yīn huò dé fú , cóng běn mén dé dào yī xiē shàn yì yǔ hǎo chù 。
云隐宗的实力虽然不值一提,但该派修士也不可能不明白这简单的道理,他们若是聪明,就应该主动交出那灵眼之湖,如此一来,自然可以止息干戈,甚至因祸得福,从本门得到一些善意与好处。
The Sword Lake Palace’s senior elders also stopped walking; with their two aunts in charge, there was no need for them to scatter and flee.
liǎng rén de rú yì suàn pán dǎ dī bù cuò , cóng yī kāi shǐ , tā men jiù jiāng yún yǐn zōng dàng zuò le zhēn bǎn shàng de yú 。 què zuò mèng yě bù céng xiǎng 。 huì mào chū lín xuān zhè ge biàn shù 。
两人的如意算盘打的不错,从一开始,他们就将云隐宗当作了砧板上的鱼。却做梦也不曾想。会冒出林轩这个变数。
Although they might not qualify to participate in a cultivation realm battle, assisting from the side posed no problem. One, it could help make up for their shortcomings; two, they hated Lin Xuan to the core—any chance to eliminate him would be gladly taken.
sú huà shuō , rén wéi yú ròu , wǒ zuò dāo zǔ , rán ér yīn wèi lín xuān de chū xiàn , liè rén yǔ liè wù de jiǎo sè, què zhòu rán diào le yí gè gè ér 。
俗话说,人为鱼肉,我做刀俎,然而因为林轩的出现,猎人与猎物的角sè,却骤然掉了一个个儿。
...
yún yǐn zōng zì rán bú huì zài rèn rén zǎi gē , shèn zhì fǎn kè wéi zhǔ 。
云隐宗自然不会再任人宰割,甚至反客为主。
With odds against them, Lin Xuan was surrounded.
zhè xìng lín de xiǎo zi gèng lí pǔ 。 yí gè rén , jiù gǎn lái chuǎng běn mén zǒng duò , jiǎn zhí shì jiàn hú gōng wèi wú wù , ér tā què rán zuò dào le , běn mén lì dài zǔ shī huā fèi liǎo wú shù xīn xuè , jiāng zǒng duò dǎ zào chéng le lóng tán hǔ xué 。 tā jū rán lái qù zì rú , bù guǎn shì zhèn fǎ yě hǎo , jìn zhì yě bà , hái shì shù yǐ shí wàn jì de xiū xiān zhě , jū rán wú yī rén néng gòu jiāng tā dǎng zhù 。
这姓林的小子更离谱。一个人,就敢来闯本门总舵,简直视剑湖宫为无物,而他确然做到了,本门历代祖师花费了无数心血,将总舵打造成了龙潭虎穴。他居然来去自如,不管是阵法也好,禁制也罢,还是数以十万计的修仙者,居然无一人能够将他挡住。
However, Lin Xuan showed no fear on his face; what did a few Spirit Refinement period existences matter?
jiù zhè yàng chàng xíng wú zǔ , shā zhì běn mén de fù xīn dì dài lái le 。
就这样畅行无阻,杀至本门的腹心地带来了。
Ants were ants. No matter how many there were, they couldn’t harm him. The only ones he had to worry about were the two cultivators of the same rank.
jìn bǎi míng fèn shén qī xiū xiān zhě , wàng fēng ér táo , bèi tā niǎn dé yǒu rú guò jiē lǎo shǔ 。
近百名分神期修仙者,望风而逃,被他撵得有如过街老鼠。
But that was just concern, not fear.
rú cǐ diū liǎn 。 kě yǐ shuō shī jǐn le jiàn hú gōng de yán miàn 。 bù , shì cóng shàng gǔ kāi shǐ 。 zhè zhǒng shì qíng cóng lái bù céng yǒu guò , dà shī xiōng suī shī zōng le , dàn hái yǒu zì jǐ liǎng rén , zuò zhèn zǒng duò , qǐ róng wài rén rú cǐ qī rǔ 。
如此丢脸。可以说失尽了剑湖宫的颜面。不,是从上古开始。这种事情从来不曾有过,大师兄虽失踪了,但还有自己两人,坐镇总舵,岂容外人如此欺辱。
Although from the clues he had gathered, he knew they weren’t easy to deal with and excelled in coordinated attacks, Lin Xuan wasn’t an ordinary cultivator either. From any angle, his chances of winning were better.
niàn jí zhì cǐ , liǎng rén de biǎo qíng jiē bù shàn yǐ jí 。
念及至此,两人的表情皆不善以极。
By eliminating these two, Sword Lake Palace wouldn’t dare to challenge Cloud Concealment Sect’s conflict.
zhè lín xiǎo zi jì rán gǎn dǎn dà bāo tiān de lái dào cǐ dì , jīn tiān jiù yào jiāng tā zhǎn shā zài zhè lǐ 。
这林小子既然敢胆大包天的来到此地,今天就要将他斩杀在这里。
With this thought in mind, Lin Xuan exuded a surging aura, his gaze sharpening.
ér jiàn hú gōng de fēn shén qī zhǎng lǎo yě tíng xià le jiǎo bù , yǒu liǎng wèi shī shū zuò zhǔ , tā men zì rán méi yǒu bì yào sì sàn ér táo le 。
而剑湖宫的分神期长老也停下了脚步,有两位师叔做主,他们自然没有必要四散而逃了。
Seeing that Lin Xuan had no intention of fleeing, the two let out a sigh of relief. Although they hated him deeply, they understood the terrifying power of a Tribulation Period cultivator.
suī rán dù jié jí bié de zhàn dòu , tā men wèi bì yǒu zī gé juǎn rù , rán ér cóng páng fǔ zhù yī xià , hái shì fēn háo wèn tí yě wú 。
虽然渡劫级别的战斗,他们未必有资格卷入,然而从旁辅助一下,还是分毫问题也无。
They were confident in defeating him but uncertain if they could stop him from running away.
yī lái , kě yǐ jiāng gōng bǔ guò , èr lái , tā men tóng yàng hèn lín xuān rù gǔ , yǒu jī huì jiāng tā miè chú , zhè xiē jiā huo zì rán bù jiè yì , shāo shāo jǐn shàng yī fèn lì de 。
一来,可以将功补过,二来,他们同样恨林轩入骨,有机会将他灭除,这些家伙自然不介意,稍稍尽上一份力的。
This guy was so bold as to want to fight them; it was sheer foolishness.
……
……
Heaven’s wrath can be endured, but self-inflicted suffering cannot. If he couldn’t send this kid to the underworld today, neither of them would forgive themselves.
dí zhòng wǒ guǎ , lín xuān yǐ bèi bāo wéi le 。
敌众我寡,林轩已被包围了。
"Alright, little fellow, I’ll give you a swift death."
rán ér lín xuān liǎn shàng háo wú wèi jù zhī sè, qū qū fēn shén jí bié de cún zài yòu suàn dé le shén me 。
然而林轩脸上毫无畏惧之sè,区区分神级别的存在又算得了什么。
The man laughed loudly, his face full of arrogance, confident in his strength.
lóu yǐ jiù shì lóu yǐ , shù liàng zài duō yòu néng ná zì jǐ rú hé , wéi yī ràng lín xuān gù jì de , jiù zhǐ yǒu liǎng míng tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě 。
蝼蚁就是蝼蚁,数量再多又能拿自己如何,唯一让林轩顾忌的,就只有两名同阶修仙者。
Though the woman said nothing, her eyes glinted with killing intent.
dàn yě jǐn jǐn shì gù jì ér yǐ , bìng wú fēn háo wèi jù 。
但也仅仅是顾忌而已,并无分毫畏惧。
Lin Xuan smiled without speaking. He waved his hand and the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword condensed in his palm: "Cultivators like me don’t kill nameless individuals. Fellow Daoists, would you tell your names to me?"
suī rán cóng dé dào de xiàn suǒ , yě zhī dào liǎng rén bù hǎo rě , shàn cháng fēn jìn hé jī zhī shù , dàn lín xuān zì jǐ yòu qǐ shì pǔ tōng xiū xiān zhě , zǒng zhī bù lùn cóng nǎ ge jiǎo dù , zì jǐ yíng de jī huì dōu shì bǐ jiào dà de 。
虽然从得到的线索,也知道两人不好惹,擅长分进合击之术,但林轩自己又岂是普通修仙者,总之不论从哪个角度,自己赢的机会都是比较大的。
Lin Xuan was curious about these couple cultivators who were too mysterious—like they had appeared out of thin air. There was so little information about them that even their surnames and given names remained unknown. For old monsters at the Tribulation Realm, this was inconceivable.
zhǐ yào miè shā le zhè liǎng gè jiā huo , jiù yóu bù dé jiàn hú gōng bù fú shū , yǔ yún yǐn zōng de chōng tū , yě kě yǐ gào yí duàn luò 。
只要灭杀了这两个家伙,就由不得剑湖宫不服输,与云隐宗的冲突,也可以告一段落。
As the saying goes: knowing your enemy is as important as knowing yourself; a hundred battles will be won without fail. Although learning their names wouldn’t help in this battle, out of curiosity, Lin Xuan asked casually.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò , lín xuān hún shēn shàng xià lì qì pēn bó , yǎn shén yuè fā de ruì lì le 。
脑海中念头转过,林轩浑身上下戾气喷薄,眼神越发的锐利了。
"Hmph, someone about to die doesn’t deserve to know our names. Why don’t you take all these doubts with you to the underworld?" The palace-dressed woman’s cold laughter echoed, her tone filled with hatred for him.
jiàn lín xuān méi yǒu wàng fēng ér táo de yì tú , nà liǎng gè jiā huo yě sōng le kǒu qì , tā men liǎng rén , gù rán shì hèn lín xuān rù gǔ , dàn yě míng bái , dù jié qī xiū shì de shí lì , jiū jìng kě pà dào hé zhǒng chéng dù 。
见林轩没有望风而逃的意图,那两个家伙也松了口气,他们两人,固然是恨林轩入骨,但也明白,渡劫期修士的实力,究竟可怕到何种程度。
"Oh?"
liǎng rén zì xìn , jī bài lín xuān bù nán , rán ér tā ruò shì zhuǎn tóu xiǎng pǎo , xiǎng yào lán zhù , què méi yǒu shí zú de bǎ wò 。
两人自信,击败林轩不难,然而他若是转头想跑,想要拦住,却没有十足的把握。
Lin Xuan showed a hint of surprise on his face; they wouldn’t even tell their names, which was too petty. But that didn’t matter; it wouldn’t affect the outcome of this battle: "If you want to send me to the underworld, you’ll need formidable strength. How about I take you and your wife to the netherworld instead?"
zhè jiā huo jū rán dǎn dà bāo tiān , xiǎng yào xiǎng yào yǔ zì jǐ liǎng rén yī zhàn , jiǎn zhí shì yú chǔn dào le jí diǎn 。
这家伙居然胆大包天,想要想要与自己两人一战,简直是愚蠢到了极点。
Lin Xuan had no intention of arguing but since they mocked him, he couldn’t just listen silently—of course, he would retort.
tiān zuò niè , yóu kě huó , zì zuò niè , bù kě huó , zhè yī cì , ruò bù néng jiāng zhè xiǎo zi sòng qù yīn cáo dì fǔ , tā men zì jǐ dōu bù néng yuán liàng zì jǐ le 。
天作孽,犹可活,自作孽,不可活,这一次,若不能将这小子送去yīn曹地府,他们自己都不能原谅自己了。
"You..."
“ hǎo hǎo , xiǎo jiā huo , yī huì er wǒ huì gěi nǐ yí gè tòng kuài de 。”
“好好,小家伙,一会儿我会给你一个痛快的。”
The two were enraged. The man flicked his sleeve, a fiery light shooting out from it as he roared: "Brat, you dare to mock me! Such insolence will cost you your soul and essence. I’ll make sure you can neither live nor die."
nà nán zi dà xiào zhe kāi kǒu le , liǎn shàng mǎn shì ào rán zhī sè, xiǎn rán duì zì jǐ de shí lì , xìn xīn shí zú 。
那男子大笑着开口了,脸上满是傲然之sè,显然对自己的实力,信心十足。
Before the words left his mouth, the fire transformed into a divine sword radiating light, slashing down viciously at Lin Xuan’s head.
nà nǚ zǐ suī rán shén me yě méi yǒu shuō , dàn yǎn zhōng yě yǒu shā qì shǎn dòng 。
那女子虽然什么也没有说,但眼中也有杀气闪动。
