bsp; gāng fēng sì yì ， dàn bìng méi yǒu néng jiù cǐ huà jiě wēi jī 。
bsp; 罡风四溢，但并没有能就此化解危机。
Gale-force winds swirled, but they failed to dissipate the crisis.
xià yī kè ， hōng lōng lóng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， è jiāo xíng zhuàng de jié léi chóng xīn fú xiàn ér chū 。
下一刻，轰隆隆的声音传入耳朵，恶蛟形状的劫雷重新浮现而出。
In the next moment, a rumbling sound reached his ears as the lightning in the shape of an evil crocodile reappeared. However, compared to before, there were fewer of them this time. Two bolts of lightning had vanished, while the remaining ones continued to fall towards the ground with unstoppable force.
bù guò yǔ gāng gāng xiāng bǐ ， shù liàng shǎo le yī xiē 。
不过与刚刚相比，数量少了一些。
The light screen could not withstand it; after just a moment, it began to waver and almost fell apart.
yǒu liǎng dào jié léi bú jiàn le zōng jì ， shèng xià de jié léi zé shì rú pò zhú ， jì xù cháo zhe xià fāng hōng luò 。
有两道劫雷不见了踪迹，剩下的劫雷则势如破竹，继续朝着下方轰落。
Damn!
zhè yī cì ， nà guāng mù yě chéng shòu bú zhù ， jǐn jǐn yí gè zhào miàn de gōng fu ， jiù yáo yáo yù zhuì le 。
这一次，那光幕也承受不住，仅仅一个罩面的功夫，就摇摇yù坠了。
The silver-eyed girl's face was as pale as paper. After exhausting all her means, would this be the end of her efforts? What should she do?
kě wù ！
可恶！
Without time for further thought, she quickly formed hand seals and spat out several drops of blood.
yín tóng shào nǚ liǎn bái rú zhǐ ， tā rú jīn yǐ shì shǒu duàn qí chū ， nán dào shuō lì jīng qiān xīn wàn kǔ ， zuì hòu de jié guǒ què shì yǔn luò 。
银瞳少女脸白如纸，她如今已是手段齐出，难道说历经千辛万苦，最后的结果却是陨落。
Boom!
gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
该怎么办呢？
But it was too late; the sound of shattering echoed in his ears. The layers of light screens above had been breached. The first few were defensive talismans that reduced the power of the lightning to some extent, but not entirely.
bù jí xì xiǎng ， máng shuāng shǒu qiā jué ， tóng shí yī lián pēn chū shù kǒu jīng xuè 。
不及细想，忙双手掐诀，同时一连喷出数口jīng血。
The last layer was a refined imitation of an先天灵宝, and even several bolts of lightning together could not break it without damage. Finally, three bolts of lightning exhausted their magical energy, perishing along with the light screen.
hōng ！
轰！
Such defensive effectiveness was commendable, yet four more bolts of lightning continued to fall from above, leaving the silver-eyed girl completely defenseless.
dàn què wǎn le yī bù ， suì liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tóu dǐng de shù céng guāng mù ， yǐ bèi tū pò ， qián miàn jǐ dào ， shì fáng yù fǎ bǎo biàn huà de ， wēi lì cēn cī bù qǐ ， jǐn jǐn shì xuē ruò le jié léi de yī xiē wēi lì . .
但却晚了一步，碎裂声传入耳朵，头顶的数层光幕，已被突破，前面几道，是防御法宝变化的，威力参差不起，仅仅是削弱了劫雷的一些威力. .
The danger was obvious.
bù guò zuì hòu yī céng guāng mù ， nǎi shì nà xiān tiān líng bǎo de fǎng zhì pǐn de jīng huá suǒ jù ， jí biàn shì jǐ dào jié léi hé lì ， xiǎng yào sī háo wú sǔn de jiāng tā pò qù ， yě shì jué bù kě néng dì 。
不过最后一层光幕，乃是那先天灵宝的仿制品的jīng华所聚，即便是几道劫雷合力，想要丝毫无损的将它破去，也是绝不可能地。
However, her several drops of blood had undergone a transformation. They coalesced into a palm-sized cloud of blood, and within this cloud, some tiny silvery light points flickered incessantly. The scene was mysterious and enigmatic.
zuì hòu ， yǒu sān dào jié léi hào jìn le suǒ yǒu de fǎ lì ， yǔ nà guāng mù tóng guī yú jìn 。
最后，有三道劫雷耗尽了所有的法力，与那光幕同归于尽。
Then these silvery light points converged in the center to form a silver butterfly. The butterfly was no more than an inch long, entirely silvery with intricate symbols on its wings that shimmered faintly, making it extraordinary.
zhè yàng de fáng yù xiào guǒ ， yǐ suàn bù sú ， kě yī jiù hái yǒu sì dào jié léi ， yóu tou dǐng shàng hōng luò ， ér yín tóng shào nǚ cǐ kè ， yǐ méi yǒu yī sī yī háo de fáng yù le 。
这样的防御效果，已算不俗，可依旧还有四道劫雷，由头顶上轰落，而银瞳少女此刻，已没有一丝一毫的防御了。
Its origin remained unknown; even the dragon-named youth only vaguely knew his senior sister had this secret survival technique but had never seen it in over ten thousand years.
wēi xiǎn bù yòng tí 。
危险不用提。
"Medusa Butterfly Dance!"
dàn zhè shí hòu ， tā suǒ pēn chū de jǐ dào jīng xuè ， què fā shēng le biàn yì 。
但这时候，她所喷出的几道jīng血，却发生了变异。
The silver-eyed girl whispered. The already dim sky darkened further inexplicably.
nà jǐ tuán jīng xuè hé zài yì qǐ ， huà wèi yī bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de xuè wù 。
那几团jīng血合在一起，化为一巴掌大小的血雾。
Suddenly, a cold wind arose, and the silvery butterfly transformed into an eerie purple hue. It multiplied from three to nine, quickly becoming numerous, dancing around the girl.
ér zài xuè wù zhī zhōng ， jū rán yǒu yī xiē mǐ lì dà xiǎo de yín sè guāng diǎn shǎn yào bù yǐ 。
而在血雾之中，居然有一些米粒大小的银sè光点闪耀不已。
This unbelievable scene left the other cultivators speechless, but before they could marvel at their ancestor's divine power, the silver-eyed girl found herself in grave danger.
kàn shàng qù shén mì yǐ jí 。
看上去神秘以极。
The remaining four crocodile-shaped heavenly bolts had closed in. The butterflies did not need her command; they approached on their own.
suí hòu nà shí jǐ gè yín sè guāng diǎn wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé ， yī yín sè de hú dié fú xiàn ér chū 。
随后那十几个银sè光点往中间一合，一银sè的蝴蝶浮现而出。
Crack!
nà hú dié zhǎng bù guò cùn xǔ ， tōng tǐ yín sè， rán ér liǎng piàn chì bǎng biǎo miàn què yǒu wú shù xuán miào yì cháng de fú wén fú xiàn ér chū 。
那蝴蝶长不过寸许，通体银sè，然而两片翅膀表面却有无数玄妙异常的符文浮现而出。
A bizarre battle unfolded. These medusa butterflies were no ordinary creatures. They successfully blocked the four bolts of lightning for a moment, thanks to the silver-eyed girl's secret survival technique.
ruò yǐn ruò xiàn ， xiǎn de jí shì bù fán 。
若隐若现，显得极是不凡。
The silver-eyed girl was elated and swiftly retreated to one side. She knew her survival techniques were formidable but only temporary; soon, the medusa butterflies would be broken by the heavenly bolts.
zhì yú lái lì ， zé wú rén qīng chǔ ， biàn shì lóng xìng shào nián ， yě jǐn jǐn shì yǐn yuē zhī dào shī jiě yǒu zhè me yí gè bǎo mìng mì shù ， dàn shù wàn nián de suì yuè lǐ 。 què cóng wèi jiàn guò 。
至于来历，则无人清楚，便是龙姓少年，也仅仅是隐约知道师姐有这么一个保命秘术，但数万年的岁月里。却从未见过。
Sure enough, after just a few moments, hundreds of medusa butterflies vanished, leaving only half of the original four bolts of lightning.
“ míng hú fēi wǔ ！”
“冥蝴飞舞！”
The dragon-named youth heaved a sigh of relief, and the other cultivators rejoiced. In their view, the heavenly tribulation was weakening, giving the silver-eyed girl a chance to survive.
yín tóng shào nǚ yī shēng qīng hē 。 yuán běn jiù huì àn de tiān sè， gèng shì mò míng qí miào de yīn chén xià qù le 。
银瞳少女一声轻喝。原本就晦暗的天sè，更是莫名其妙的yīn沉下去了。
But was that really true?
yīn fēng zhòu qǐ ， suí hòu ， nà yín sè de hú dié ， yě mò míng qí miào de huà wèi le guǐ yì de zǐ sè。
yīn风骤起，随后，那银sè的蝴蝶，也莫名其妙的化为了诡异的紫sè。
The silver-eyed girl's face showed no signs of relief. The heavenly tribulation might be waning, but she too was at her limit.
qiě yī huà wèi sān ， sān huà wèi jiǔ ， qǐng kè jiān 。 jiù yǒu le shù bǎi zhī duō ， wéi zhe shào nǚ shàng xià fēi wǔ 。
且一化为三，三化为九，顷刻间。就有了数百之多，围着少女上下飞舞。
All her magical artifacts and techniques had been used up; now, she had nothing left to protect herself.
zhè bù kě sī yì de yí mù ， zhòng xiū shì kàn dé shì chēng mù jié shé ， rán ér hái lái bù jí zàn tàn shī zǔ shén tōng de qí miào zhī chù ， jiù jiàn shào nǚ xiàn rù le jué dà de wēi jī zhī zhōng 。
这不可思议的一幕，众修士看得是瞠目结舌，然而还来不及赞叹师祖神通的奇妙之处，就见少女陷入了绝大的危机之中。
Damn it! She had fought this far, yet would she still end up falling?
shèng yú de sì dào jiāo xíng tiān léi yǐ hěn hěn de pū dào le jìn chù 。
剩余的四道蛟形天雷已狠狠的扑到了近处。
The girl's eyes were filled with不甘 (reluctance), but she could not change the final outcome.
nà xiē hú dié bù yòng shào nǚ qū cè ， zì jǐ jiù yíng shàng qù le 。
那些蝴蝶不用少女驱策，自己就迎上去了。
Two terrifying bolts of lightning approached her side. To wait and die was foolish, so the silver-eyed girl did not do that.
pī lǐ pā lā ……
噼里啪啦……
At her current cultivation level, her mental fortitude was beyond question. Even if she knew resistance would be futile, she had to fight for a chance.
suí hòu jiù kàn jiàn le guǐ yì de dòu fǎ 。
随后就看见了诡异的斗法。
With swift movements, she waved her hands, and magical light flickered as she consecutively cast several elemental spells.
zhè xiē míng dié fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 bù kuì shì yín tóng shào nǚ yā xiāng dǐ de bǎo mìng mì shù ， jū rán jiāng sì dào tiān léi zàn qiě dǎng zhù 。
这些冥蝶非同小可。不愧是银瞳少女压箱底的保命秘术，居然将四道天雷暂且挡住。
These spells might not have been extraordinary on their own, but performed by a spirit realm cultivator, they were awe-inspiring. In fact, the silver-eyed girl's current cultivation had surpassed the spirit realm, stepping into the early stage of tribulation crossing. The power of her spells was even more formidable, yet in the face of this terrifying heavenly tribulation, it seemed insufficient.
yín tóng shào nǚ xīn zhōng dà xǐ ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， cháo zhe páng biān tuì qù 。
银瞳少女心中大喜，身形一闪，朝着旁边退去。
She could only struggle to defend herself, with lightning crackling all around her. In just a few moments, she was struck by the powerful heavenly tribulation and fell apart.
tā xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， zì jǐ de bǎo mìng shén tōng suī rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn zhè zhǒng píng héng yě jǐn jǐn shì zàn shí ér yǐ ， hěn kuài ， míng dié jiù huì bèi jié léi pò qù 。
她心中有数，自己的保命神通虽然非同小可，但这种平衡也仅仅是暂时而已，很快，冥蝶就会被劫雷破去。
"Senior Sister!"
guǒ rán 。 jǐn jǐn guò le jǐ xī 。 shù yǐ bǎi jì de míng dié dōu xiāo shī le zōng jì ， bù guò yuán běn de sì dào jié léi yě zhǐ shèng xià le yí bàn ér yǐ 。
果然。仅仅过了几息。数以百计的冥蝶都消失了踪迹，不过原本的四道劫雷也只剩下了一半而已。
The dragon-named youth could no longer bear it. The situation was clear; without help, the silver-eyed girl would definitely fall. He had no good way to deal with these two bolts of lightning.
lóng xìng shào nián sōng le kǒu qì 。 qí yú de xiū shì yě huān hū bù yǐ ， zài tā men kàn lái ， tiān jié yǐ shì qiáng nǔ zhī mò ， yín tóng shào nǚ dà yǒu jī huì dù guò 。
龙姓少年松了口气。其余的修士也欢呼不已，在他们看来，天劫已是强弩之末，银瞳少女大有机会渡过。
Although he knew that intervening might not be wise, as saving his senior sister was uncertain and he himself would surely be drawn into the heavenly tribulation, he could not ignore it.
rán ér zhēn shì rú cǐ me ？
然而真是如此么？
Why should a cultivator always act selfishly?
yín tóng shào nǚ de liǎn shàng ， kě méi yǒu bàn fēn qīng sōng zhī sè， tiān jié gù rán shèng xià bù duō ， dàn tā yòu hé cháng bú shì qiáng nǔ zhī mò 。
银瞳少女的脸上，可没有半分轻松之sè，天劫固然剩下不多，但她又何尝不是强弩之末。
Sometimes they did, but in this situation, their bond as fellow students who had shared countless years together made him determined to save his senior sister at all costs.
fǎ bǎo mì shù quán dōu yǐ jīng shǐ chū ， rú jīn tā gēn běn jiù méi yǒu shén me shǒu duàn kě yǐ fáng hù 。
法宝秘术全都已经使出，如今她根本就没有什么手段可以防护。
A light shout echoed as the dragon-named youth leaped into the air. However, someone was even faster.
kě wù ， dōu pīn dào zhè yī bù ， nán dào zuì hòu ， hái shì táo bù tuō yǔn luò de jié guǒ ？
可恶，都拼到这一步，难道最后，还是逃不脱陨落的结果？
A streak of green light pierced through the heavenly tribulation, crossing what seemed like a temporal distance. In one moment, it was far away on the horizon, and in another blink, it was right before him.
shào nǚ de yǎn zhōng mǎn shì bù gān zhī yì ， dàn yī jiù bǎi bù tuō zuì hòu de jié jú 。
少女的眼中满是不甘之意，但依旧摆不脱最后的结局。
"Junior Brother Lin!"
liǎng dào kě pà de jié léi yǐ lái dào shēn cè ， zuò yǐ dài bì shì zuì yú chǔn de xuǎn zé ， yín tóng shào nǚ dāng rán bú huì nà me zuò 。
两道可怕的劫雷已来到身侧，坐以待毙是最愚蠢的选择，银瞳少女当然不会那么做。
The dragon-named youth could not help but be overjoyed. This was truly heaven's will; his junior brother had returned to the main hall at this crucial moment.
xiū wèi dào le tā zhè ge jìng jiè ， xīn zhì zì rán bú yòng shuō ， jiù suàn míng zhī dào dǐ kàng méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， zǒng yě yào pīn mìng bó yī bó 。
修为到了她这个境界，心智自然不用说，就算明知道抵抗没有用处，总也要拼命搏一搏。
He felt a heavy stone fall from his heart. Despite their frequent separations, he deeply understood his junior brother's nature—loyal and compassionate towards fellow students, never abandoning his senior sister in her hour of need.
cǐ nǚ shuāng shǒu huī wǔ ， líng guāng shǎn shuò ， yī lián shī zhǎn chū le shù zhǒng wǔ xíng fǎ shù 。
此女双手挥舞，灵光闪烁，一连施展出了数种五行法术。
If he acted alone, his chances were slim, but with Junior Brother Lin's help, his senior sister might be able to overcome this peril.
zhè xiē fǎ shù běn shēn huò xǔ méi yǒu shén me xī qí ， dàn jīng yóu fēn shén qī xiū shì shī zhǎn chū lái ， zé shì jīng tiān dòng dì 。
这些法术本身或许没有什么稀奇，但经由分神期修士施展出来，则是惊天动地。
His eyes filled with hope. Lin Xuan indeed had no reason to abandon a comrade-in-arms.
bù ， shào nǚ rú jīn de xiū wèi yǐ jīng chāo yuè le fēn shén qī ， yī zhī jiǎo mài rù le xiǎo dù jié de jìng jiè lǐ 。
不，少女如今的修为已经超越了分神期，一只脚迈入了小渡劫的境界里。
But how to assist him required careful thought. His senior sister was not facing an enemy; she was dealing with the heavenly tribulation.
fǎ shù de wēi lì gèng jiā páng bó ， rán ér zài zhè kě pà de tiān jié miàn qián ， què xiǎn de yǒu xiē bù gòu kàn le 。
法术的威力更加磅礴，然而在这可怕的天劫面前，却显得有些不够看了。
The heavenly tribulation, even for a late-stage tribulation cultivator, could not be taken lightly. Acting rashly might summon more terrifying heavenly bolts, making it uncertain whether he could save his senior sister and possibly drawing himself into danger as well.
tā xiàn zài bù guò shì pí yú yìng fù ， hún shēn shàng xià diàn guāng sì shè， bù guò jǐ gè qǐ luò ， jiù bèi nà kě pà de tiān jié ， pī le gè qī líng bā luò 。
她现在不过是疲于应付，浑身上下电光四shè，不过几个起落，就被那可怕的天劫，劈了个七零八落。
Therefore, directly intervening to block the heavenly tribulation was foolish. He needed a smarter approach that would neither endanger him nor allow his senior sister to face this peril alone.
“ shī jiě ！”
“师姐！”
In other words, he needed a solution that would benefit both of them.
Gale-force winds swirled, but they failed to dissipate the crisis.
In the next moment, a rumbling sound reached his ears as the lightning in the shape of an evil crocodile reappeared. However, compared to before, there were fewer of them this time. Two bolts of lightning had vanished, while the remaining ones continued to fall towards the ground with unstoppable force.
