bsp; 那元婴高寸许，五官眉眼与宫装女子相似以极，眼中满是怨毒之sè，但不可思议的成分更多。
The yuanxian was about an inch tall, with features that closely resembled those of the palace-dressed woman. Her eyes were filled with a mix of malice and something else beyond comprehension.
zěn me huì shì zhè yàng yí gè jié guǒ ？
怎么会是这样一个结果？
How could this be the result?
fèi jìn xīn jī ， shè xià zhè bì shā zhī jú ， dào tóu lái liè rén què biàn chéng le liè wù ， dí rén míng míng zhǐ yǒu yí gè ， jiū jìng shì shuí zài hòu miàn tōu xí le zì jǐ 。
费尽心机，设下这必杀之局，到头来猎人却变成了猎物，敌人明明只有一个，究竟是谁在后面偷袭了自己。
After all her efforts to set up this fatal trap, she had become the prey instead of the hunter. There was only one enemy, but who had secretly attacked her from behind?
rú jīn shí jiān bǎo guì yǐ jí ， àn lǐ ， yuán yīng yīng gāi jǐn kuài lí kāi zhè wēi xiǎn zhī dì ， rán ér xīn zhōng de yí huò què yǒu rú dú shé ， ruò bù néng jiě kāi zhè ge yí huò ， zhè yī cì jiù suàn néng gòu jiāng xìng mìng táo tuō ， yǐ hòu ， yǒu le zhè ge xīn mó ， xiū wèi yě bié xiǎng zài cùn jìn yī dīng bàn diǎn le . .
如今时间宝贵以极，按理，元婴应该尽快离开这危险之地，然而心中的疑惑却有如毒蛇，若不能解开这个疑惑，这一次就算能够将xìng命逃脱，以后，有了这个心魔，修为也别想再寸进一丁半点了. .
Time was precious now. According to reason, the yuanxian should leave this dangerous place as quickly as possible. However, the doubts in her heart were like a venomous snake, and if they couldn't be resolved, even if she managed to escape with her life this time, having this mental demon would make it impossible for her cultivation to advance further.
zhè zhōng jiān de lì bì ， yuán yīng xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， gù ér tā yǐ jí kuài de sù dù zhuǎn guò le tóu lú ， xiǎng yào jiāng shì qíng de yuán wěi kàn qīng chǔ 。
这中间的利弊，元婴心里有数，故而她以极快的速度转过了头颅，想要将事情的原委看清楚。
The pros and cons of the situation were clear to the yuanxian, so she turned her head quickly to try to understand what had happened.
rán ér rù mù dì jǐng xiàng què ràng tā dà jīng shī sè。
然而入目的景象却让她大惊失sè。
However, the scene before her was shocking.
liǎng gè lín xuān xiǎn xiàn ér chū 。
两个林轩显现而出。
Two Lin Xuan figures appeared. Their features and height were identical, but their skin tones differed; the one standing behind was clearly darker.
wǔ guān méi yǎn jiē xiāng xiàng dào jí chù ， shēn cái yě shì yī yàng gāo de 。
五官眉眼皆相像到极处，身材也是一样高的。
"Transformation technique!"
wéi yī de bù tóng ， biàn zhǐ yǒu fū sè， zhàn zài hòu miàn de lín xuān pí fū míng xiǎn yào àn dé duō 。
唯一的不同，便只有肤sè，站在后面的林轩皮肤明显要暗得多。
The yuanxian's teeth gritted as she spoke.
“ huà shēn zhī shù ！”
“化身之术！”
At this point, how could she not know that she had been ambushed? She had been too careless.
yuán yīng yǎo yá qiè chǐ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
元婴咬牙切齿的声音传入耳朵。
Originally, her trap had been well hidden. But the opponent was incredibly cunning, turning her own trap against her.
shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù ， tā nǎ lǐ hái bù zhī dào zì jǐ shì zhōng le shén me mái fú ， tài dà yì le . .
事情到了这一步，她哪里还不知道自己是中了什么埋伏，太大意了. .
She was both shocked and angry, filled with malice, but understood that now was not the time for rash actions.
yuán běn zì jǐ bù xià de xiàn jǐng yǐ jīng gòu yǐn bì ， méi xiǎng dào duì fāng què shì jiǎo huá wú bǐ ， jiāng jì jiù jì ， jiāng zì jǐ sòng dào le xiàn jǐng lǐ 。
原本自己布下的陷阱已经够隐蔽，没想到对方却是狡猾无比，将计就计，将自己送到了陷阱里。
Her physical body was gone, so a mere yuanxian could never defeat this small figure. As they say, there's always a way to survive if you have something left. Once she regained her strength, she would find a way to avenge today’s humiliation.
tā xīn zhōng yòu jīng yòu nù ， chōng mǎn le yuàn dú ， dàn yě míng bái xiàn zài bú shì yì qì yòng shì de shí kè 。
她心中又惊又怒，充满了怨毒，但也明白现在不是意气用事的时刻。
After weighing the pros and cons, the yuanxian made up her mind in an instant. Her form flashed like points of light, vanishing from sight.
zì jǐ ròu shēn yǐ jīng yǔn luò ， qū qū yí gè yuán yīng zhī tǐ jué dǎ bù guò zhè xiǎo jiā huo ， sú huà shuō ， liú dé qīng shān zài bù pà méi chái shāo ， dài zì jǐ xiū wèi huī fù ， zǒng yǒu bàn fǎ bào jīn tiān zhè yī jiàn zhī chóu de 。
自己肉身已经陨落，区区一个元婴之体绝打不过这小家伙，俗话说，留得青山在不怕没柴烧，待自己修为恢复，总有办法报今天这一箭之仇的。
This was her life-saving secret technique, its complexity far beyond mere teleportation.
quán héng lì bì ， yě bù guò shì shùn jiān ér yǐ ， yuán yīng xīn zhōng yǐ yǒu le dìng duó ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， huà wèi diǎn diǎn xīng guāng ， jiù yào cóng yuán dì xiāo sàn 。
权衡利弊，也不过是瞬间而已，元婴心中已有了定夺，身形一闪，化为点点星光，就要从原地消散。
As a渡劫期 cultivator, she had reached a very solid state, unlike ordinary cultivators.
zhè shì tā de bǎo mìng mì shù 。 qí xuán miào fán fù 。 zì rán yuǎn fēi shùn yí kě yǐ bǐ nǐ de 。
这是她的保命秘术。其玄妙繁复。自然远非瞬移可以比拟的。
However, even if her plan seemed good, how could Lin Xuan let it succeed?
bì jìng shì dù jié qī ， yuán yīng yǐ dào le shí fēn níng gù de jìng dì ， yuǎn fēi pǔ tōng de xiū shì kě yǐ bǐ nǐ 。
毕竟是渡劫期，元婴已到了十分凝固的境地，远非普通的修士可以比拟。
Releasing a tiger back into the wild would leave behind endless troubles. This was something Lin Xuan understood well. It wasn't out of fear; for a cultivator, having one more enemy was never beneficial.
rán ér tā de dǎ suàn gù rán bù cuò ， lín xuān yòu qǐ huì ràng tā rú yì ne ？
然而她的打算固然不错，林轩又岂会让她如意呢？
Since they had already broken their facade, there was no need to spare her life.
fàng hǔ guī shān liú ， hòu huàn wú qióng ， zhè dào lǐ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu shù 。 dāng rán bú shì yīn wèi pà de yuán gù ， dàn duì yú xiū xiān zhě ， duō yí gè dí rén ， zǒng guī shì méi yǒu hǎo chù 。
放虎归山留，后患无穷，这道理，林轩心中有数。当然不是因为怕的缘故，但对于修仙者，多一个敌人，总归是没有好处。
A murderous intent flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes as he prepared thoroughly. He didn’t even need to make any moves; just a mental command sufficed.
jì rán yǐ jīng sī pò liǎn pí ， jiù méi yǒu bì yào liú tā huó xià qù 。
既然已经撕破脸皮，就没有必要留她活下去。
Suddenly, a clear sound echoed, and the phoenix under his feet spread its wings, releasing an overwhelming force of法则之力.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng shā yì shǎn guò ， tā de zhǔn bèi shí fēn chōng zú 。 shèn zhì bù yòng yǒu rèn hé dòng zuò ， jǐn jǐn shì yī dào shén niàn fā chū 。
林轩眼中杀意闪过，他的准备十分充足。甚至不用有任何动作，仅仅是一道神念发出。
Space Law!
jiù wén qīng míng shēng dà zuò ， jiǎo xià de fèng huáng yī shàn chì bǎng ， yī gǔ fǎ zé zhī lì gǔn gǔn ér chū 。
就闻清鸣声大做，脚下的凤凰一扇翅膀，一股法则之力滚滚而出。
It swept across the area within a hundred miles, causing ripples in the void.
kōng jiān fǎ zé ！
空间法则！
Lin Xuan did not know what secret technique the yuanxian was using to save herself. But since she wanted to escape quickly, it must be tied to Space Law.
zài zhè fāng yuán bǎi lǐ de fàn wéi nèi yī sǎo ér guò 。
在这方圆百里的范围内一扫而过。
This was beyond doubt; after all, both were渡劫期 cultivators!
zhěng gè xū kōng dōu dàng yàng qǐ lái le 。
整个虚空都荡漾起来了。
Though ordinary cultivators of this early stage couldn't comprehend the laws of space, they could still cast some basic spatial techniques with their powerful cultivation.
lín xuān bù xiǎo de ， nà yuán yīng shī zhǎn de shì shén me bǎo mìng mì shù ， dàn jì rán xiǎng yào yòng zuì kuài de sù dù táo tuō ， yǔ kōng jiān fǎ zé ， kěn dìng shì yǒu zhe qiān sī wàn lǚ de qiān chě 。
林轩不晓得，那元婴施展的是什么保命秘术，但既然想要用最快的速度逃脱，与空间法则，肯定是有着千丝万缕的牵扯。
If another opponent had faced her, perhaps the yuanxian would have escaped. But the phoenix excelled in Space Law; even though the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword hadn’t produced a true bird king, its space law was far superior to what this woman had managed to grasp.
zhè yì diǎn jué wú kě yí 。
这一点绝无可疑。
In other words, breaking through her secret technique wasn't difficult at all.
bì jìng duì fāng yě shì dù jié qī ！
毕竟对方也是渡劫期！
Sure enough, as the rule of law spread, the yuanxian appeared, looking terrified. She wouldn’t sit and wait for death; she tried to dodge with both hands.
suī rán qū qū chū qī de xiū xiān zhě 。 bù kě néng lǐng wù kōng jiān zhī fǎ zé 。 dàn jǐn jǐn yī xiē pí máo de kōng jiān zhī shù ， píng zhe qiáng dà xiū wèi 。 xiǎng yào shī zhǎn ， zì rán bù suàn shén me nán shì de 。
虽然区区初期的修仙者。不可能领悟空间之法则。但仅仅一些皮毛的空间之术，凭着强大修为。想要施展，自然不算什么难事的。
But in the next moment, her expression changed dramatically.
ruò huàn yí gè duì shǒu ， cǐ nǚ de yuán yīng huò xǔ zhēn néng táo tuō ， rán ér fèng huáng jīng shàn de yuán běn jiù shì kōng jiān fǎ zé ， suī rán jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn biàn huà chū lái de ， bìng fēi zhēn zhèng de bǎi niǎo zhī wáng ， rán ér píng jiè zhe tiān fèng zhēn xuè shī zhǎn chū lái de kōng jiān fǎ zé ， yuǎn bú shì cǐ nǚ lǐng wù de xiē xǔ pí máo kě yǐ bǐ nǐ de 。
若换一个对手，此女的元婴或许真能逃脱，然而凤凰jīng擅的原本就是空间法则，虽然九宫须臾剑变化出来的，并非真正的百鸟之王，然而凭借着天凤真血施展出来的空间法则，远不是此女领悟的些许皮毛可以比拟的。
The air around her became solid, like a copper wall or iron barrier—clearly another effect of Space Law.
huàn jù huà shuō ， xiǎng yào pò chú tā de mì shù ， gēn běn jiù tán bù shàng yǒu tài dà de nán dù 。
换句话说，想要破除她的秘术，根本就谈不上有太大的难度。
Such a technique was insufficient to trap a cultivator at the early渡劫 stage. But she didn’t have time to waste here.
guǒ rán ， fǎ zé zhī lì mí sàn ér chū ， nà yuán yīng yě diē diē zhuàng zhuàng de xiǎn xíng le ， xiǎo liǎn shàng mǎn shì jīng huáng zhī sè， zì rán bú huì yǒu zuò yǐ dài bì yī shuō ， shuāng shǒu yī wò ， xiǎng duǒ ！
果然，法则之力弥散而出，那元婴也跌跌撞撞的显形了，小脸上满是惊惶之sè，自然不会有坐以待毙一说，双手一握，想躲！
In高手对决, every millisecond counted. This instant restraint was enough for Lin Xuan to kill her countless times over.
kě xià yī kè ， tā de biǎo qíng què quán biàn le 。
可下一刻，她的表情却全变了。
The phoenix spread its wings, and flames engulfed the sky, swallowing her in an instant.
zhōu wéi de kōng qì biàn dé níng gù ， fǎng fú tóng qiáng tiě bì yì bān ， bú yòng shuō ， zhè yě shì kōng jiān fǎ zé de xiào guǒ 。
周围的空气变得凝固，仿佛铜墙铁壁一般，不用说，这也是空间法则的效果。
"Senior Brother, save me!"
yuán běn zhè yàng de shǒu duàn ， bù zú yǐ kùn zhù yī míng dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā nǎ ér yǒu shí jiān zài zhè lǐ dān gē 。
原本这样的手段，不足以困住一名渡劫初期的修仙者，然而此时此刻，她哪儿有时间在这里耽搁。
The yuanxian’s face turned pale as she screamed loudly. Although it might be embarrassing in front of junior disciples, with her life at stake, such embarrassment was irrelevant.
gāo shǒu guò zhāo ， zhǐ zhēng lí háo ， yǒu zhè shùn xī de shù fù ， yǐ zú yǐ lín xuān jiāng tā miè shā yī qiān cì le 。
高手过招，只争厘毫，有这瞬息的束缚，已足以林轩将她灭杀一千次了。
This woman had reached a state of extreme panic but failed to realize that calling for help was pointless.
fèng huáng chì bǎng yī shàn ， màn tiān dōu shì gǔn gǔn de huǒ yàn ， zhuǎn shùn jiān jiù yào jiāng tā tūn mò zài lǐ miàn 。
凤凰翅膀一扇，漫天都是滚滚的火焰，转瞬间就要将她吞没在里面。
Lin Xuan's plan worked well, turning the situation around, but the response of a渡劫期 cultivator couldn’t be slow.
“ shī xiōng jiù wǒ ！”
“师兄救我！”
They lost in both strategy and strength, but seeing his beloved wife fall, how could he remain unmoved?
nà yuán yīng de xiǎo liǎn shuā de yī xià bái le ， yī yī yā yā de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì dà shēng jiān jiào qǐ lái le ， suī rán dāng zhe hòu bèi dì zǐ de miàn ， zhè me zuò yǒu diǎn diū liǎn ， rán ér yǔ xiǎo mìng ér xiāng bǐ ， shī diǎn miàn zi yòu yǒu shén me guān xì 。
那元婴的小脸刷的一下白了，依依呀呀的声音传入耳朵，却是大声尖叫起来了，虽然当着后辈弟子的面，这么做有点丢脸，然而与小命儿相比，失点面子又有什么关系。
He was practically blinded with rage.
cǐ nǚ yě suàn jīng huāng dào le jí chù ， què méi yǒu fā xiàn cǐ kè zì jǐ zhè me zuò ， gēn běn jiù shì duō cǐ yī jǔ 。
此女也算惊慌到了极处，却没有发现此刻自己这么做，根本就是多此一举。
So her call for help was unnecessary. The green-robed man lunged forward with a fierce expression.
lín xuān jiāng jì jiù jì ， gù rán qǐ dào le huà fǔ xiǔ wéi shén qí de xiào guǒ ， rán ér táng táng dù jié qī xiū shì de fǎn yìng ， yòu qǐ huì màn le 。
林轩将计就计，固然起到了化腐朽为神奇的效果，然而堂堂渡劫期修士的反应，又岂会慢了。
How could he let his beloved wife die here!
dòu zhì dòu lì ， tā men gù rán shū le lín xuān yī chóu ， rán ér yǎn jiàn zì jǐ de ài qī yǔn luò ， tā rú hé hái huì yǒu fā dāi yī shuō 。
斗智斗力，他们固然输了林轩一筹，然而眼见自己的爱妻陨落，他如何还会有发呆一说。
His reaction was swift.
jiǎng chéng shì mù yá yù liè dōu dōu bù wèi guò 。
讲成是目睚yù裂都都不为过。
But Lin Xuan’s move was even faster.
suǒ yǐ nà nǚ zǐ yuán yīng de hū jiù gēn běn jiù shì duō cǐ yī jǔ ， nà qīng páo nán zi yǐ mǎn liǎn zhēng níng de pū le guò qù 。
所以那女子元婴的呼救根本就是多此一举，那青袍男子已满脸狰狞的扑了过去。
He blocked the attack, outpacing him slightly.
zěn me néng ràng ài qī yǔn luò zài zhè lǐ 。
怎么能让爱妻陨落在这里。
This was because Lin Xuan had used teleportation; the space law driven by the phoenix from the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword wouldn’t affect its master.
tā de fǎn yìng bù kě wèi bù xùn sù 。
他的反应不可为不迅速。
He arrived first and stood in front of his opponent. The yuanxian was nearly consumed by the flames behind him.
rán ér lín xuān de dòng zuò ， yòu qǐ huì màn le 。
然而林轩的动作，又岂会慢了。
"Move aside!"
shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yǐ dǎng zài shēn qián ， bǐ tā hái kuài le yī xiàn 。
身形一闪，已挡在身前，比他还快了一线。
The green-robed man couldn't stand idly by, shouting loudly as he slashed with a divine sword, releasing an immensely powerful attack.
zhī suǒ yǐ huì rú cǐ ， shì yīn wèi lín xuān shī zhǎn chū le shùn yí zhī shù ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn suǒ biàn huà chū lái de fèng huáng ， suǒ qū shǐ de kōng jiān fǎ zé ， duì tā zhè zhǔ rén ， zì rán bù kě néng yǒu fēn háo yǐng xiǎng 。
之所以会如此，是因为林轩施展出了瞬移之术，九宫须臾剑所变化出来的凤凰，所驱使的空间法则，对他这主人，自然不可能有分毫影响。
This sword’s power was shocking, filled with formidable spiritual energy. Clearly, seeing his partner in danger, this man had resolved to fight to the death.
hòu fā xiān zhì ， dǎng zài duì fāng de shēn qián ， ér jiù zài tā bèi hòu bù yuǎn ， yuán yīng yǐ kuài yào bèi liè huǒ tūn mò 。
后发先至，挡在对方的身前，而就在他背后不远，元婴已快要被烈火吞没。
His attack was indeed formidable, but Lin Xuan showed no sign of retreating.
“ ràng kāi ！”
“让开！”
Now was the perfect time to defeat him; a rare opportunity. There was no reason to hesitate or retreat.
nà qīng páo nán zi rú hé néng zuò shì bú jiàn ， chēng mù dà hē ， yòu shǒu xiān jiàn líng guāng fēi wǔ ， jiāng hé dào xiè bān de yī jiàn hěn hěn zhǎn chū 。
那青袍男子如何能坐视不见，瞠目大喝，右手仙剑灵光飞舞，江河倒泻般的一剑狠狠斩出。
Even if he were angry, he was still an early渡劫 cultivator. With his profound spiritual energy, could he really be afraid?
zhè yī jiàn qì shì páng bó ， suǒ yùn hán de líng lì gèng dào le lìng rén chù mù jīng xīn de dì bù ， xiǎn rán ， yǎn jiàn dào lǚ qíng shì wēi jí ， zhè jiā huo yǐ yǒu le pīn mìng zhī yì 。
这一剑气势磅礴，所蕴含的灵力更到了令人触目惊心的地步，显然，眼见道侣情势危急，这家伙已有了拼命之意。
Seeing that sword fly towards him, Lin Xuan didn’t retreat. He also wouldn't face it with bare hands; instead, he summoned a treasure.
zhè yī jiàn zhī wēi ， què shí fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zhí yīng qí fēng ， yě shì hěn yú chǔn de 。
这一剑之威，确实非同小可，直缨其锋，也是很愚蠢的。
A fiery ring flew out.
rán ér lín xuān què sī háo tuì bì zhī yì yě wú 。
然而林轩却丝毫退避之意也无。
In an instant, it transformed into the size of a pavilion. Although not a先天宝物, this Vermilion Bird Ring was no less powerful than Ten Thousand Swords Diagram for dealing with an early渡劫 cultivator.
rú jīn zhèng shì dǎ bài duì fāng de hǎo shí hòu ， qiān zǎi nán féng de liáng jī ， nǎ ér yǒu tuì suō cuò guò de dào lǐ 。
如今正是打败对方的好时候，千载难逢的良机，哪儿有退缩错过的道理。
Lin Xuan’s hands moved like butterflies as he channeled spells. A divine bird appeared, its long feathers glowing.
duì fāng zài fèn nù ， yě zhǐ shì dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， yìng pèng yìng ， yǐ lín xuān fǎ lì zhī shēn hòu ， nán dào hái pà tā me ？
对方再愤怒，也只是渡劫初期的修仙者，硬碰硬，以林轩法力之深厚，难道还怕他么？
Vermilion Bird!
yǎn jiàn nà yī jiàn fēi xiè ér chū ， lín xuān sī háo tuì bì zhī yì yě wú ， dāng rán yě bú huì chì shǒu kōng quán qù yíng jī duì fāng de fèn nù ， ér shì jì qǐ le yī jiàn bǎo wù 。
眼见那一剑飞泻而出，林轩丝毫退避之意也无，当然也不会赤手空拳去迎击对方的愤怒，而是祭起了一件宝物。
With one flap of its wings, flames spread across the sky. The bird closed its wings, and a giant flaming sword emerged, slicing down from above!
The yuanxian was about an inch tall, with features that closely resembled those of the palace-dressed woman. Her eyes were filled with a mix of malice and something else beyond comprehension.
How could this be the result?
After all her efforts to set up this fatal trap, she had become the prey instead of the hunter. There was only one enemy, but who had secretly attacked her from behind?
Time was precious now. According to reason, the yuanxian should leave this dangerous place as quickly as possible. However, the doubts in her heart were like a venomous snake, and if they couldn't be resolved, even if she managed to escape with her life this time, having this mental demon would make it impossible for her cultivation to advance further.
