bsp; 化身万千原本是无上仙术，然而因为境界不足，在梼杌的手中，却有了天大的漏洞。
myriad manifestations originally was a supreme immortal technique, but due to his current cultivation level, Tiaomu found himself in a situation with significant flaws.
zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， táo wù yuán běn xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， dàn tā bìng bù zài hū ， jiù suàn yǒu lòu dòng yòu rú hé ， zhè me duō qiáng dà gǔ shòu de hún pò ， lín xiǎo zi zài lí pǔ ， yě néng zài qǐng kè jiān jiāng tā zhì fú 。
这种情况，梼杌原本心中有数，但他并不在乎，就算有漏洞又如何，这么多强大古兽的魂魄，林小子再离谱，也能在顷刻间将他制伏。
Tiaomu had known this all along, but he didn't care. Even if there were flaws, so what? With the souls of numerous powerful ancient beasts at hand, Lin Xuan could easily subdue him in an instant.
nǎ xiǎo de ， gēn běn méi yǒu nà me qīng sōng 。
哪晓得，根本没有那么轻松。
However, it turned out to be far from easy.
lín xuān què shí dǎ bù guò ， dàn zhǎn xiàn chū lái de wán qiáng ， què yuǎn chāo tā yù jì xǔ duō 。
林轩确实打不过，但展现出来的顽强，却远超他预计许多。
Lin Xuan indeed couldn’t defeat Tiaomu, but his tenacity and resilience far exceeded expectations. What he thought would be a quick victory against his enemy had become incredibly difficult. Facing the assault of nearly a hundred powerful ancient beasts, Lin Xuan managed to grit his teeth and hold on.
yuán běn yǐ wéi shǒu dào qín lái de chóu dí ， jìng biàn dé jí shǒu wú bǐ ， miàn duì jìn bǎi qiáng dà gǔ shòu de wéi gōng ， lín xuān jū rán yǎo yá chēng guò 。
原本以为手到擒来的仇敌，竟变得棘手无比，面对近百强大古兽的围攻，林轩居然咬牙撑过。
In the end, it wasn't Lin Xuan who fell; rather, Tiaomu was the one who couldn’t bear it anymore. The immense consumption of this supreme immortal technique was no small matter.
jié guǒ ， lín xuān méi yǒu yǔn luò ， fǎn ér shì tā zì jǐ xiān shòu bù liǎo le ， zhè zhǒng wú shàng xiān shù de xiāo hào ， nà yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
结果，林轩没有陨落，反而是他自己先受不了了，这种无上仙术的消耗，那也是非同小可。
This situation could be described as a case of self-inflicted injury.
zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， shuō bān qǐ shí tou zá zì jǐ de jiǎo yě bù wèi guò 。
这种情况，说搬起石头砸自己的脚也不为过。
Roar!
hǒu ！
吼！
A mournful howl echoed in his ears.
qī lì de páo xiāo shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ . .
凄厉的咆哮声传入耳朵. .
The figure of the ancient beast vanished, replaced by nearly a hundred miniature versions of Tiaomu.
gǔ shòu de shēn yǐng xiāo shī ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì jìn bǎi gè mí nǐ bǎn de táo wù 。
古兽的身影消失，取而代之的是近百个迷你版的梼杌。
Compared to before, each one appeared much weaker. They then converged into the original form of Tiaomu.
dàn yǔ gāng gāng xiāng bǐ ， yí gè gè de qì sè shuāi bài le xǔ duō ， suí hòu wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé ， táo wù běn tǐ de yuán xíng xiǎn lù ér chū 。
但与刚刚相比，一个个的气sè衰败了许多，随后往中间一合，梼杌本体的原型显露而出。
With a human face and tiger-like legs, its appearance was still extremely fierce, but its aura was incomparably weaker than before.
rén miàn hǔ zú ， xíng mào yī jiù shì fēi cháng xiōng è ， dàn qì shì yǔ gāng gāng xiāng bǐ ， zé wán quán bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ le 。
人面虎足，形貌依旧是非常凶恶，但气势与刚刚相比，则完全不可同rì而语了。
Weakness!
xū ruò ！
虚弱！
Lin Xuan could see from Tiaomu's eyes that his true essence had nearly dried up.
cóng táo wù de yǎn móu zhōng lín xuān kě yǐ kàn chū tā běn mìng zhēn yuán de gān hé 。
从梼杌的眼眸中林轩可以看出它本命真元的干涸。
Indeed, the other party’s condition was far worse than his own.
méi cuò ， duì fāng xiàn zài de qíng kuàng bǐ zì jǐ hái yào zāo gāo dé duō 。
没错，对方现在的情况比自己还要糟糕得多。
Discovering this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but show a look of ecstatic joy on his face.
fā xiàn zhè yì diǎn de lín xuān ， liǎn shàng zì rán shì lù chū kuáng xǐ zhī sè。
发现这一点的林轩，脸上自然是露出狂喜之sè。
In just an instant, the situation took a dramatic turn in their favor.
jǐn jǐn yī shùn jiān ， xíng shì jiù fā shēng le xì jù xìng de nì zhuǎn 。
仅仅一瞬间，形势就发生了戏剧xìng的逆转。
Tiaomu, who almost caused him to fall, had never been forced to the brink of self-destruction since he embarked on his path as an immortal cultivator. Now that Tiaomu was weakened, how could Lin Xuan not seize this opportunity for revenge?
táo wù ， hài dé zì jǐ chà diǎn yǔn luò ， zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， lín xuān hái cóng lái méi yǒu bèi bī pò dào yào zì bào yuán yīng de dì bù 。
梼杌，害得自己差点陨落，自从踏上修仙之路，林轩还从来没有被逼迫到要自爆元婴的地步。
With his mind made up, Lin Xuan immediately acted without hesitation. He put away the primordial item and drew out the Nine Palace Momentary Sword from his sleeve.
rú jīn duì fāng xū ruò ， lín xuān zěn me huì bù chèn jī bào fù 。
如今对方虚弱，林轩怎么会不趁机报复。
After a fierce battle, Lin Xuan's body had been drained of energy. Using a primordial treasure now would be too taxing on his body.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān yǐ háo bù yóu yù de dòng shǒu le ， tā shōu qǐ le xiān tiān zhī wù ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn cóng yī xiù zhōng yú yóu ér chū 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩已毫不犹豫的动手了，他收起了先天之物，九宫须臾剑从衣袖中鱼游而出。
He had no choice but to use all means at his disposal.
bì jìng jīng guò yī fān dà zhàn zhī hòu ， lín xuān zì jǐ yě yóu jǐn dēng kū ， zhè shí hòu zài shǐ yòng xiān tiān líng bǎo 。 duì shēn tǐ de fù hè huì dà dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
毕竟经过一番大战之后，林轩自己也油尽灯枯，这时候再使用先天灵宝。对身体的负荷会大到无以复加的地步。
However, with Tiaomu weakened, the Nine Palace Momentary Sword was sufficient to contain him. To kill him outright, it seemed he still lacked the strength.
gāng gāng shì bù dé yǐ 。 yǐ dào le pīn mìng de jìng dì ， yǒu shén me shǒu duàn ， dōu bù néng cáng zhe yē zhe 。
刚刚是不得已。已到了拼命的境地，有什么手段，都不能藏着掖着。
Nevertheless, for Lin Xuan, achieving this step meant his goal was accomplished. As they say, a dying camel is bigger than a horse. To completely eliminate Tiaomu would require additional means.
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， qíng kuàng què yǒu bù tóng zhī chù ， xū ruò de táo wù ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yǐ zú yǐ yìng fù 。
然而此时此刻，情况却有不同之处，虚弱的梼杌，九宫须臾剑已足以应付。
And everything was already prepared by Lin Xuan.
sōu sōu de pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， jiàn máng zòng héng fēi wǔ 。 jiāng táo wù tuán tuán wéi zhù ， ruò shì quán shèng zhī shí ， zhè yàng píng píng wú qí de zhāo shù ， táo wù zì rán bú huì zài hū ， dàn rú jīn ， tā fǎ lì suǒ shèng wú jǐ 。 zhēn yuán gān hé ， táo wù zì rán bù gǎn zài yǒu fēn háo de tuō dà le 。
嗖嗖的破空声大做，剑芒纵横飞舞。将梼杌团团围住，若是全盛之时，这样平平无奇的招数，梼杌自然不会在乎，但如今，它法力所剩无几。真元干涸，梼杌自然不敢再有分毫的托大了。
His experience in combat was unparalleled.
dàn jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yě jǐn néng shì jiāng tā zàn qiě kùn zhù ， xiǎng yào zhǎn shā ， míng xiǎn hái lì yǒu bù dài de 。
但九宫须臾剑也仅能是将它暂且困住，想要斩杀，明显还力有不殆的。
Taking advantage of the Nine Palace Momentary Sword containing Tiaomu, Lin Xuan raised his right hand and a jade bottle slipped out from his sleeve.
bù guò duì lín xuān ér yán ， néng zuò dào zhè yī bù ， tā de mù dì jiù suàn dá dào le ， sú huà shuō ， shòu sǐ de luò tuó bǐ mǎ dà 。 xiǎng yào jiāng táo wù zhǎn chú 。 hái xū yào qí tā de shǒu duàn zuò wéi fǔ zhù 。
不过对林轩而言，能做到这一步，他的目的就算达到了，俗话说，瘦死的骆驼比马大。想要将梼杌斩除。还需要其他的手段作为辅助。
Without hesitation, he uncorked it and swallowed the millennium spirit milk inside before any strange fragrance could spread.
ér zhè yī qiè ， lín xuān zǎo jiù zhǔn bèi hǎo le 。
而这一切，林轩早就准备好了。
A warm current surged through his meridians as his nearly depleted magical energy began to gather in his dantian. The millennium spirit milk, refined by Lin Xuan, was more potent than rare treasures.
tā de dòu fǎ jīng yàn wú bǐ fēng fù 。
他的斗法经验无比丰富。
Of course, it only replenished his magical energy and couldn't fully restore his jingqi, but that was enough.
chèn zhe jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn jiāng duì fāng kùn zhù 。 lín xuān yòu shǒu yī tái ， yí gè yù píng zì yī xiù jiān huá luò xià lái 。
趁着九宫须臾剑将对方困住。林轩右手一抬，一个玉瓶自衣袖间滑落下来。
Tiaomu was now sufficiently weakened. As long as he could recover some of his magical energy, he would have the certainty to kill Tiaomu here.
suí hòu lín xuān èr huà bù shuō ， jiāng píng sāi dǎ kāi ， bù děng yì xiāng piāo sàn ， jiù yī kǒu jiāng lǐ miàn de wàn nián líng rǔ tūn luò jìn dù lǐ miàn 。
随后林轩二话不说，将瓶塞打开，不等异香飘散，就一口将里面的万年灵rǔ吞落进肚里面。
This scene was clear to Tiaomu as well. He was almost blinded with rage. A wise man doesn't eat what's in front of him. It wouldn’t be wise for him to wait and die here; he desperately tried to escape with his life.
yī sī sī nuǎn liú zài jīng mài zhōng fú xiàn ér qǐ ， yuán běn bīn yú kū jié de fǎ lì ， xùn sù kāi shǐ cháo zhe dān tián jù jí ， wàn nián líng rǔ， jīng yóu lín xuān tí chún guò ， bǐ zhī xī shì qí zhēn yě bù xùn sè。
一丝丝暖流在经脉中浮现而起，原本濒于枯竭的法力，迅速开始朝着丹田聚集，万年灵rǔ，经由林轩提纯过，比之稀世奇珍也不逊sè。
However, Lin Xuan had already meticulously planned this. Since he had trapped Tiaomu with the Nine Palace Momentary Sword, there was no room left for him to escape.
dāng rán ， tā zhǐ yǒu bǔ chōng fǎ lì de xiào guǒ ， bù kě néng ràng lín xuān de jīng qì shén wán quán huī fù ， dàn yǐ jīng zú gòu le 。
当然，它只有补充法力的效果，不可能让林轩的jīng气神完全恢复，但已经足够了。
Tiaomu could only charge forward, taking some minor injuries in the process. This guy’s skin and muscles were so thick that it would have been sliced into pieces by other beasts.
táo wù rú jīn zú gòu xū ruò ， zhǐ yào zì jǐ de fǎ lì néng huī fù yī xiē ， jiù yǒu jué duì de bǎ wò jiāng tā zhǎn shā yú zhè lǐ 。
梼杌如今足够虚弱，只要自己的法力能恢复一些，就有绝对的把握将它斩杀于这里。
Tiaomu didn't fall, but the situation was dire for him. Lin Xuan had already recovered some of his magical energy. With the tiger looming nearby, how could he possibly escape this predicament?
zhè yí mù ， táo wù zì rán yě kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， shuō mù zì yù liè yě bù wèi guò ， hǎo hàn bù chī yǎn qián kuī ， tā zì rán bú huì zài zhè lǐ zuò děng yǔn luò ， pīn le xiǎo mìng ér de xiǎng yào táo tuō 。
这一幕，梼杌自然也看得清清楚楚，说目眦yù裂也不为过，好汉不吃眼前亏，它自然不会在这里坐等陨落，拼了小命儿的想要逃脱。
Before he could think further, Lin Xuan launched an attack.
rán ér méi yǒu yòng tú ， lín xuān yí bù yí bù zǎo jiù suàn jì hǎo le ， jì rán yǐ jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn jiāng qí kùn zhù ， zì rán bú huì liú xià kōng dāng ràng qí táo tuō 。
然而没有用途，林轩一步一步早就算计好了，既然以九宫须臾剑将其困住，自然不会留下空当让其逃脱。
Crack!
táo wù zhǐ néng yìng chuǎng ， jié guǒ hái shòu le yī xiē xiǎo shāng 。
梼杌只能硬闯，结果还受了一些小伤。
Electricity flashed as black lightning emerged from the immortal sword. The Illusory Divine Thunder was unremarkable at first glance but contained inherent laws of nature, making its power formidable.
yě jiù zhè jiā huo ， pí cāo ròu hòu dào nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de chéng dù ， rú guǒ huàn zuò bié de yāo zú ， zǎo jiù bèi zhǎn zuò jǐ duàn le 。
也就这家伙，皮糙肉厚到难以想象的程度，如果换做别的妖族，早就被斩做几段了。
At the same time, the sword light began to contract, becoming incredibly thin and advancing towards the front.
táo wù bìng wèi yǔn luò ， dàn xíng shì duì tā lái shuō ， shì bù miào dào le jí chù ， lín xuān yǐ huī fù le bù fèn fǎ lì ， hǔ shì zài cè ， zì jǐ yào zěn me zuò ， cái yǒu kě néng huà xiǎn wéi yí ？
梼杌并未陨落，但形势对它来说，是不妙到了极处，林轩已恢复了部分法力，虎视在侧，自己要怎么做，才有可能化险为夷？
Transforming the sword into threads, this technique was far more powerful than a regular immortal sword. Tiaomu could only dodge, daring not to touch it.
zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān yǐ kāi shǐ le jìn gōng 。
这个念头尚未转过，林轩已开始了进攻。
However, this wasn't Lin Xuan's final move.
pī lǐ pā lā ……
噼里啪啦……
The various techniques he had just used merely left Tiaomu flustered while Lin Xuan waited for the perfect opportunity to strike decisively.
diàn máng dà zuò ， yī dào dào yǒu hēi sè de shǎn diàn ， zì xiān jiàn biǎo miàn fú xiàn ér chū ， huàn yīn shén léi ， kàn shàng qù háo wú qǐ yǎn zhī chù ， dàn běn shēn jiù yǐn hán yǒu tiān dì fǎ zé ， wēi lì zì rán shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
电芒大做，一道道黝黑sè的闪电，自仙剑表面浮现而出，幻yīn神雷，看上去毫无起眼之处，但本身就隐含有天地法则，威力自然是非同小可。
Indeed, one decisive blow was all Lin Xuan intended. He didn’t plan on wasting any more time here.
tóng shí jiàn guāng yě kāi shǐ shōu suō ， biàn dé xiān xì yǐ jí ， céng céng dié dié de cháo zhe qián fāng shā le guò qù 。
同时剑光也开始收缩，变得纤细以极，层层叠叠的朝着前方杀了过去。
Aaah!
huà jiàn wèi sī ， wēi lì yǔ pǔ tōng de xiān jiàn xiāng bǐ ， qiáng le hé zhǐ bèi xǔ ， táo wù yě wéi yǒu duǒ ， gēn běn bù gǎn pèng chù 。
化剑为丝，威力与普通的仙剑相比，强了何止倍许，梼杌也唯有躲，根本不敢碰触。
Mournful howls continued to echo as blood danced across Tiaomu’s body. He charged left and right but only made his injuries worse, achieving nothing in terms of escape. Was he really going to fall here?
rán ér zhè hái bú shì lín xuān de shā zhe 。
然而这还不是林轩的杀着。
He was unwilling to accept this fate. A hunter doesn’t become prey. At this moment, Lin Xuan finally found the perfect opportunity.
gāng gāng shī zhǎn chū de zhǒng zhǒng shǒu duàn ， jǐn jǐn shì ràng táo wù shǒu máng jiǎo luàn ， lín xuān zé hái zài děng dài zhe yī jī bì shā de jī yuán 。
刚刚施展出的种种手段，仅仅是让梼杌手忙脚乱，林轩则还在等待着一击必杀的机缘。
Without hesitation, he raised his right hand, fingers loosely clasped, and a thin immortal sword appeared from his palm, as delicate as a cicada’s wing.
méi cuò ， yī jī bì shā ， lín xuān bù dǎ suàn zài zài cǐ dì ， xiāo mó diào zì jǐ de shí jiān 。
没错，一击必杀，林轩不打算再在此地，消磨掉自己的时间。
This was a fusion of nearly half the Nine Palace Momentary Sword with supreme magical energy emanating from its surface.
áo ！
嗷！
Lin Xuan flicked his wrist and swung it forward.
qī lì de hǒu jiào bù tíng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， táo wù shēn shàng mó xuè fēi wǔ ， zuǒ chōng yòu tū ， dàn zhǐ shì ràng shāng shì biàn dé gèng jiā de kě bù ， yú tū wéi ， yì diǎn dōu méi yǒu yòng tú ， nán dào zì jǐ zhēn yào zài zhè lǐ yǔn luò ？
凄厉的吼叫不停传入耳朵，梼杌身上魔血飞舞，左冲右突，但只是让伤势变得更加的可怖，于突围，一点都没有用途，难道自己真要在这里陨落？
The movement was so agile and silent that a magnificent sword aura suddenly emerged, obscuring the sky. The momentum was immense.
tā bù gān ， liè rén zěn me huì biàn chéng liè wù ， ér lín xuān zài zhè yī kè ， zhōng yú xún mì dào dòng shǒu de liáng jī le 。
它不甘，猎人怎么会变成猎物，而林轩在这一刻，终于寻觅到动手的良机了。
But in an instant, all the sword auras condensed into a thin crystal thread.
tā háo bù chí yí ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， wǔ zhǐ xū wò ， yī bǐng xiān jiàn shà shí jiān yóu tā zhǐ zhǎng jiān fú xiàn ér chū ， báo rú chán yì ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， jū rán shì bàn tòu míng dì 。
他毫不迟疑，右手抬起，五指虚握，一柄仙剑霎时间由他指掌间浮现而出，薄如蝉翼，一眼望去，居然是半透明地。
Transforming the sword into threads again, but compared to Lin Xuan’s previous technique, this was infinitely more refined.
zhè shì jìn xiǎo bàn jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de róng hé ， biǎo miàn yǒu wú shàng de fǎ lì shì fàng ér chū 。
这是近小半九宫须臾剑的融合，表面有无上的法力释放而出。
This sword stroke harmonized with the natural laws and was at its peak of perfection, aimed at Tiaomu.
lín xuān shǒu yī dǒu ， jiāng tā cháo zhe qián fāng huī luò 。
林轩手一抖，将它朝着前方挥落。
"Aaah!"
dòng zuò líng qiǎo yǐ jí ， zhěng gè guò chéng gèng shì wú shēng wú xī ， rán ér pī miàn què jiàn yī huī hóng yì cháng de jiàn qì ， zhē yún bì rì， shēng shì hóng dà yǐ jí 。
动作灵巧以极，整个过程更是无声无息，然而劈面却见一恢宏异常的剑气，遮云蔽rì，声势宏大以极。
Fear filled Tiaomu's face. Even in his prime, he wouldn’t have willingly faced such a blow head-on. But now, there was no choice; he couldn't avoid it as all escape routes were sealed by Lin Xuan.
dàn yī zhuǎn yǎn ， què yòu xùn sù yǐn qù ， suǒ yǒu de jiàn qì ， fǎng fú bèi yā suō zài yì qǐ ， huà wèi le yī xiān xì de jīng sī 。
但一转眼，却又迅速隐去，所有的剑气，仿佛被压缩在一起，化为了一纤细的晶丝。
In an instant, the brilliant sword light engulfed him. The combined force of the law and supreme sword energy dissolved his flesh and bones.
tóng wèi huà jiàn wèi sī ， dàn yǔ lín xuān gāng cái shī zhǎn de xiāng bǐ ， gāo miào le hé zhǐ bèi xǔ 。
同为化剑为丝，但与林轩刚才施展的相比，高妙了何止倍许。
"No…"
zhè yī jī ， yǔ zì rán dà dào xiāng hé ， miào dào diān fēng de yī jiàn ， xiàng táo wù huī sǎ ér qù 。
这一击，与自然大道相合，妙到巅峰的一剑，像梼杌挥洒而去。
At this moment, fear replaced Tiaomu's ferocity in his eyes. This power was unstoppable and unmatched. Was he really going to fall here?
“ áo ！”
“嗷！”
This was his last thought before it came true. That sword light extinguished his essence, and Tiaomu fell.
táo wù de liǎn shàng mǎn shì jù sè， zhè jīng hóng yī jiàn ， jí biàn tā quán shèng zhī shí ， yě bú huì yuàn yì zhí yīng qí fēng dì ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， què méi dé xuǎn zé ， gēn běn jiù duǒ wú kě duǒ ， suǒ yǒu de tuì lù ， quán dōu bèi lín xuān fēng dǔ 。
梼杌的脸上满是惧sè，这惊鸿一剑，即便它全盛之时，也不会愿意直缨其锋地，然而此时此刻，却没得选择，根本就躲无可躲，所有的退路，全都被林轩封堵。
PS: I have something to attend to today, so only one chapter. The full story is ongoing.
myriad manifestations originally was a supreme immortal technique, but due to his current cultivation level, Tiaomu found himself in a situation with significant flaws.
Tiaomu had known this all along, but he didn't care. Even if there were flaws, so what? With the souls of numerous powerful ancient beasts at hand, Lin Xuan could easily subdue him in an instant.
However, it turned out to be far from easy.
Lin Xuan indeed couldn’t defeat Tiaomu, but his tenacity and resilience far exceeded expectations. What he thought would be a quick victory against his enemy had become incredibly difficult.

Fear filled Tiaomu's face. Even in his prime, he wouldn’t have willingly faced such a blow head-on. But now, there was no choice; he couldn't avoid it as all escape routes were sealed by Lin Xuan.
In an instant, the brilliant sword light engulfed him. The combined force of the law and supreme sword energy dissolved his flesh and bones.
"No…"
At this moment, fear replaced Tiaomu's ferocity in his eyes. This power was unstoppable and unmatched. Was he really going to fall here?
This was his last thought before it came true. That sword light extinguished his essence, and Tiaomu fell.
