bǎo shé bó rán biàn sè。
宝蛇勃然变sè。
The precious snake suddenly changed its demeanor.
ér lín xuān de shén tōng ， hái bù zhǐ yú cǐ 。
而林轩的神通，还不止于此。
Lin Xuan's abilities, however, were not limited to just that.
yòu shǒu yī quán dǎ chū ， zuǒ shǒu zé wǔ zhǐ chéng zhǎo 。
右手一拳打出，左手则五指成爪。
With his right hand, he struck out a powerful punch while his left hand formed into claws. As his movements continued, an ethereal sword materialized between his fingers and palm, thin as cicada wings, almost translucent when viewed from afar.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， yī bǐng xiān jiàn yóu tā zhǐ zhǎng jiān fú xiàn ér chū ， báo rú chán yì ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， jū rán shì bàn tòu míng dì 。
随着他的动作，一柄仙剑由他指掌间浮现而出，薄如蝉翼，一眼望去，居然是半透明地。
The sword looked incredibly fragile but contained a terrifying法则力量that sent chills down one's spine.
nà jiàn kàn shàng qù cuì ruò wú bǐ ， piān piān què yùn hán dé yǒu lìng rù xīn jì de fǎ zé zhī lì 。
那剑看上去脆弱无比，偏偏却蕴含得有令入心悸的法则之力。
Lin Xuan flicked his wrist, sending the sword forward with great precision. The entire process was silent, yet an imposing wave of剑气surged forth, obscuring the sky and creating a grand spectacle.
lín xuān shǒu yī dǒu ， jiāng tā xiàng zhe qián fāng hěn hěn huī qù 。
林轩手一抖，将它向着前方狠狠挥去。
But in an instant, all the剑气compressed into a fine crystal thread.
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。
That thread was delicate but still contained a terrifying法则力量.
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。
Before this attack could truly land, countless five-colored符文suddenly appeared around the precious snake's body in the void.
nà jiàn sī xiān qiǎo yǐ jí ， lǐ miàn què yùn hán yǒu lìng rù xīn jì de fǎ zé zhī lì 。
那剑丝纤巧以极，里面却蕴含有令入心悸的法则之力。
They surged like a tidal wave, forming an invisible禁制that locked her in place firmly.
cǐ gōng jī shàng wèi zhēn de là xià ， bǎo shé shēn tǐ sì zhōu de xū kōng zhōng jiù zhòu rán wú shù wǔ sè fú wén fú xiàn ér chū 。
此攻击尚未真的落下，宝蛇身体四周的虚空中就骤然无数五sè符文浮现而出。
"This...?"
rú hǎi cháo nù tāo bān kuáng yǒng ， huà wèi yī céng wú xíng jìn zhì jiāng tā láo láo suǒ zhù 。
如海cháo怒涛般狂涌，化为一层无形禁制将她牢牢锁住。
The woman was both shocked and angry. She understood the dire situation but wouldn't sit idly by.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
She struck her head, releasing several dark green sword lights.
cǐ nǚ yòu jīng yòu nù ， yě míng bái zì jǐ xíng shì wēi jī ， dàn zì rán bú huì zuò yǐ dài bì 。
此女又惊又怒，也明白自己形势危机，但自然不会坐以待毙。
Then, another massive black axe appeared in her hands. The ghost faces on the handle were incredibly lifelike.
yī pāi tóu lú ， jǐ dào yǒu hēi de jiàn guāng yī shǎn ér chū 。
一拍头颅，几道黝黑的剑光一闪而出。
Holding the axe with both hands, she sent out a series of dark electric arcs from its blade, slicing down fiercely.
suí hòu tā de shǒu shàng zài cì fú xiàn chū yī bǐng yǒu hēi jù fǔ 。
随后她的手上再次浮现出一柄黝黑巨斧。
A crescent-shaped light blade emerged, almost splitting heaven and earth as it joined the dark sword lights, heading towards the front.
fǔ bǐng biǎo miàn de guǐ liǎn xǔ xǔ rú shēng dào jí chù 。
斧柄表面的鬼脸栩栩如生到极处。
Such an attack was already at her utmost effort. Even ordinary渡劫期existences wouldn't dare to face such force head-on.
cǐ nǚ shuāng shǒu wò zhù ， fǔ rèn chù dàn shè chū yī quān quān yǒu hēi de diàn hú ， hěn hěn zhǎn luò 。
此女双手握住，斧刃处弹shè出一圈圈黝黑的电弧，狠狠斩落。
However, something unbelievable happened with a heart-stirring clash heard in his ears.
dùn shí hēi máng yì qǐ ， yī dào yuè yá xíng de guāng rèn jī hū yào pī kāi yāo dì ， yǔ nà xiē yǒu hēi de jiàn guāng yì qǐ ， cháo zhe qián fāng zhǎn qù 。
顿时黑芒一起，一道月牙形的光刃几乎要劈开夭地，与那些黝黑的剑光一起，朝着前方斩去。
Neither the sword lights nor the axe blades achieved their intended effects. Those five-colored符文seemed indestructible, rebounding these attacks and failing to break through the禁制at all.
zhè yàng de gōng jī ， cǐ nǚ yǐ jīng jié jìn quán lì ， jiù suàn yì bān de dù jié qī cún zài ， yě bù yuàn zhí yīng qí fēng dì 。
这样的攻击，此女已经竭尽全力，就算一般的渡劫期存在，也不愿直缨其锋地。
The precious snake couldn't escape; she remained motionless.
rán ér jiē xià lái ， què fā shēng le bù kě sī yì de yí mù ， bàn suí zhe dòng rù xīn pò de zhuàng jī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
然而接下来，却发生了不可思议的一幕，伴随着动入心魄的撞击声传入耳朵。
This truly changed her expression.
jiàn guāng yě hǎo ， fǔ máng yě bà ， dōu méi yǒu qǐ dào yù qī de xiào guǒ ， nà xiē wǔ sè fú wén jìng shì jiān bù kě cuī zhī wù ， jiāng zhè xiē gōng jī yìng shēng shēng fǎn tán kāi le ， gēn běn wú fǎ pò kāi jìn zhì fēn háo 。
剑光也好，斧芒也罢，都没有起到预期的效果，那些五sè符文竞似坚不可摧之物，将这些攻击硬生生反弹开了，根本无法破开禁制分毫。
Since this attack hadn't worked as expected, there was no time left for a change of tactics now.
bǎo shé wú fǎ tuō kùn ér chū ， yī 1rì dòng tán bù dé 。
宝蛇无法脱困而出，依1rì动弹不得。
In such a close battle, every millimeter counted. There was no room for hesitation or experimentation—there could only be one chance. If lost, the consequences would be terrible.
rú cǐ yī lái ， cǐ nǚ shì zhēn de liǎn sè dà biàn le 。
如此一来，此女是真的脸sè大变了。
The precious snake's face turned even more ugly, showing signs of madness, but she could only watch helplessly as those terrifying sword lights swallowed her whole.
rán ér gāng cái de gōng jī ， jì rán méi yǒu qǐ dào yù qī de xiào guǒ ， cǐ shí cǐ kè zài xiǎng yào biàn zhāo ， yě jiù lái bù jí le 。
然而刚才的攻击，既然没有起到预期的效果，此时此刻再想要变招，也就来不及了。
Then a fist wind surged, connecting heaven and earth, forming a white hurricane that also engulfed her.
gāo shǒu guò zhāo ， zhǐ zhēng lí háo ， nǎ ér yǒu shí jiān ， qù gěi tā màn màn cháng shì ， jī huì zhǐ yǒu yī cì ， jì rán cuò shī ， nà jiù yào chéng shòu kě pà de jié jú 。
高手过招，只争厘毫，哪儿有时间，去给她慢慢尝试，机会只有一次，既然错失，那就要承受可怕的结局。
Both sets of法则力量were horrifyingly powerful.
bǎo shé de liǎn sè yǐ shì nán kàn wú bǐ ， shèn zhì yǒu nà me jǐ fēn fēng kuáng zhī yì ， què zhǐ néng yǎn zhēng zhēng de kàn zhe zì jǐ ， bèi nà kě pà de jiàn guāng tūn mò jìn qù 。
宝蛇的脸sè已是难看无比，甚至有那么几分疯狂之意，却只能眼睁睁的看着自己，被那可怕的剑光吞没进去。
Even if it were just an avatar, the precious snake's true form wouldn't fare much better in such circumstances.
suí hòu quán fēng yì qǐ ， lián yāo jiē dì ， jìng huà wèi yī dào bái méng méng de jù fēng ， tóng yàng jiāng gěi yī juàn ér rù 。
随后拳风一起，连夭接地，竞化为一道白蒙蒙的飓风，同样将给一卷而入。
The battle had reached its conclusion with no suspense left. This evenly matched contest finally had a winner.
liǎng zhǒng bù tóng de fǎ zé zhī lì ， jiē kě pà wú bǐ 。
两种不同的法则之力，皆可怕无比。
"No..."
zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， bié shuō qū qū yī jù huà shēn ， jiù suàn shì bǎo shé běn tǐ ， bù sǐ yě yào tuō céng pí 。
这种情况下，别说区区一具化身，就算是宝蛇本体，不死也要脱层皮。
A cry of agony came from within the storm. The voice was filled with malice: "Young Lin, don't be too smug. Next time, I will descend in my true form and crush you to dust."
dòu fǎ dào zhè yī bù ， kě yǐ shuō sī háo xuán niàn yě wú ， zhè yī cháng shì jūn lì dí de dòu fǎ ， zhōng yú fēn chū le shèng fù 。
斗法到这一步，可以说丝毫悬念也无，这一场势均力敌的斗法，终于分出了胜负。
Such threats would normally not be ignored by any cultivator, as offending a True Demon Ancestor could lead to dire consequences.
“ bù ……”
“不……”
But Lin Xuan paid no heed. It wasn't that he had reached the point where he could ignore the precious snake's true form; rather...
cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà fēng bào zhōng chuán lái de shēng yīn què chōng mǎn le yuàn dú ：“ lín xiǎo zi ， nǐ bú yào tài dé yì le ， xià yī cì ， běn gōng yí dìng huì běn tǐ jiàng luò ， jiāng nǐ cuò gǔ yáng huī de 。”
惨叫声传入耳朵，那风暴中传来的声音却充满了怨毒：“林小子，你不要太得意了，下一次，本宫一定会本体降落，将你挫骨扬灰的。”
Proverbially speaking, too many lice don’t itch, and too much debt doesn’t worry you.
zhè yàng de wēi xié ， ruò huàn yī míng xiū xiān zhě ， kěn dìng bù néng shì ruò wú dǔ ， bì jìng dé zuì yǐ wéi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， nà jié guǒ kě shì zāo gāo dào le jí chù 。
这样的威胁，若换一名修仙者，肯定不能视若无睹，毕竞得罪以为真魔始祖，那结果可是糟糕到了极处。
He had already exterminated True Demon Ancestor avatars before.
rán ér lín xuān què mǎn bù zài hū ， dào bú shì shuō ， tā yǐ jīng dào le néng gòu hū shì bǎo shé běn tǐ de dì bù ， ér shì …… lìng yǒu yuán gù 。
然而林轩却满不在乎，倒不是说，他已经到了能够忽视宝蛇本体的地步，而是……另有缘故。
The enmity between him and the precious snake and Ice Soul was long-standing and unbreakable. Even if he let her go now, would she show gratitude and spare him next time?
sú huà suǒ de hǎo ， shī zi duō le bù yǎng ， zhài duō le bù chóu 。
俗话所得好，虱子多了不痒，债多了不愁。
That was highly unlikely!
zhēn mó shǐ zǔ de huà shēn ， zì jǐ yòu bú shì dì yī cì miè shā le 。
真魔始祖的化身，自己又不是第一次灭杀了。
Since their grievances were irreconcilable, what did he have to fear?
yǔ bǎo shé bīng pò liǎng nǚ jiān de chóu hèn ， zǎo jiù bù sǐ bù xiū 。
与宝蛇冰魄两女间的仇恨，早就不死不休。
Lin Xuan didn't take the precious snake's threats seriously, considering them merely a joke.
jiù suàn xiàn zài jiāng qí fàng guò ， nán dào tā de huà shēn jiù huì gǎn ēn dài dé ， xià yī cì jiàn miàn ， fàng guò zì jǐ me ？
就算现在将其放过，难道她的化身就会感恩戴德，下一次见面，放过自己么？
He unleashed his full power without holding back. The avatar of the precious snake, lacking even an opportunity for an元婴to escape, fell directly, leaving no trace behind.
zhè xiǎn rán shì bù kě néng de ！
这显然是不可能的！
"Phew!"
jì rán shuāng fāng de chóu yuàn yǐ dào wú kě huà jiě de dì bù ， nà zì jǐ hái yǒu shén me bì yào gù jì ne ？
既然双方的仇怨已到无可化解的地步，那自己还有什么必要顾忌呢？
Lin Xuan exhaled in relief.
bǎo shé zhè fān wēi xié de yán yǔ ， lín xuān gēn běn jiù méi yǒu fàng zài xīn zhōng ， huò zhě shuō ， chún cuì shì dàng zuò yí gè xiào huà ， tīng tīng jiù suàn le 。
宝蛇这番威胁的言语，林轩根本就没有放在心中，或者说，纯粹是当作一个笑话，听听就算了。
That fierce battle had been extremely dangerous; any slight mistake could have led to his demise.
lín xuān méi yǒu fēn háo liú shǒu 。
林轩没有分毫留手。
True Demon Ancestors were truly formidable opponents, and their avatar's strength far exceeded that of ordinary peers.
fǎ zé zhī lì xiōng yǒng péng bó ， bǎo shé de huà shēn lián yuán yīng dōu méi yǒu jī huì táo tuō ， zhí jiē yǔn luò ， sī háo hén jì dōu bù liú 。
法则之力汹涌蓬勃，宝蛇的化身连元婴都没有机会逃脱，直接陨落，丝毫痕迹都不留。
Fortunately, he was the victor who emerged victorious.
“ hū ！”
“呼！”
Just as Lin Xuan's thoughts raced, a violent explosion echoed in his ears.
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì 。
林轩松了口气。
Rumble!
gāng cái nà yī fān è zhàn dàng zhēn shì wēi xiǎn yǐ jí ， ruò shāo yǒu chā chí ， nòng bù hǎo jiù shì yǔn luò de jié jú 。
刚才那一番恶战当真是危险以极，若稍有差池，弄不好就是陨落的结局。
The sound was immense, like a thunderstorm descending from heaven.
zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， dàng zhēn bù hǎo duì fù ， nǎ pà shì yī jù huà shēn de shí lì ， yě yuǎn shèng tóng jiē cún zài xǔ duō 。
真魔始祖，当真不好对付，哪怕是一具化身的实力，也远胜同阶存在许多。
Lin Xuan turned to see that the vast area around the northern sky had been engulfed by green lightning and fire, creating an astonishing spectacle.
hái hǎo zì jǐ yī 1rì shì xiào dào zuì hòu de shèng lì zhě 。
还好自己依1rì是笑到最后的胜利者。
His pupils constricted as he immediately re-established contact with his second元婴's avatar.
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， yī zhèn jù liè de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
林轩脑海中念头转过，然而就在此刻，一阵剧烈的爆裂声传入耳朵。
As expected, his condition was dire. He couldn't withstand it without the recovery abilities of his药灵body. If not for that, he would have long perished.
hōng lōng lóng ！
轰隆隆！
Even so, things weren't looking good; some of his命元气were damaged.
nà shēng yīn zhī páng bó ， jiù fǎng fú yǒu gǔn gǔn de yāo léi jiàng luò 。
那声音之磅礴，就仿佛有滚滚的夭雷降落。
After all, his second元婴was still in the 分神stage and attempting to block a Soul Venerable was beyond him.
lín xuān máng xún shēng zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， zhǐ jiàn yuǎn fāng de yāo jí ， fāng yuán bǎi lǐ ， quán bù bèi qīng sè de léi huǒ tūn mò le jìn qù ， shēng shì jīng rù wú bǐ 。
林轩忙循声转过头颅，只见远方的夭极，方圆百里，全部被青sè的雷火吞没了进去，声势惊入无比。
Lin Xuan saw this with anger. He flashed forward to confront them.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， xīn niàn yī dòng xià ， lì kè huī fù le yǔ dì èr yuán yīng cāo zòng de huà shēn jiān de lián xì 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，心念一动下，立刻恢复了与第二元婴cāo纵的化身间的联系。
However, the Soul Fox Venerable's face showed an eerie expression as she ran away without hesitation towards the opposite direction.
bù chū suǒ liào ， rú jīn tā de qíng xíng shì láng bèi yǐ jí ， gēn běn jiù dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， ruò fēi yào líng zhī tǐ ， yǒu zhe jí wéi kě pà de huī fù néng lì ， kǒng pà zǎo jiù hún fēi pò sàn le qù 。
不出所料，如今他的情形是狼狈以极，根本就抵挡不住，若非药灵之体，有着极为可怕的恢复能力，恐怕早就魂飞魄散了去。
With her avatar already fallen, why would she dare stay here and fight Lin Xuan alone?
dàn jí biàn rú cǐ ， qíng xíng yě bù miào yǐ jí ， sǔn shāng le yī xiē běn mìng yuán qì 。
但即便如此，情形也不妙以极，损伤了一些本命元气。
She had no chance of victory; he didn't want to meet the same fate as the precious snake. After all, losing just one avatar was nothing compared to his true form being present.
bì jìng dì èr yuán yīng de jìng jiè ， hái zài fēn shén qī ， yào tā dǎng zhù líng hún zūn zhě ， bù lùn cóng nǎ ge jiǎo dù ， wěi shí dōu tài miǎn qiǎng le 。
毕竞第二元婴的境界，还在分神期，要他挡住灵魂尊者，不论从哪个角度，委实都太勉强了。
A wise man can bend but never break.
lín xuān jiāng zhè yí mù kàn zài yǎn lǐ ， zì rán shì bó rán dà nù ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， jiù yào chōng shàng qián qù 。
林轩将这一幕看在眼里，自然是勃然大怒，身形一闪，就要冲上前去。
For the Soul Fox Venerable, fleeing was the best choice at this moment.
rán ér nà líng hú zūn zhě de liǎn shàng ， què shǎn guò yī sī guǐ yì zhī sè， èr huà bù shuō de ， cháo zhe xiāng fǎn de fāng xiàng pǎo le 。
然而那灵狐尊者的脸上，却闪过一丝诡异之sè，二话不说的，朝着相反的方向跑了。
Although it would bring endless trouble later, her immediate concern was preserving her life.
lián bǎo shé de huà shēn dōu yǐ jīng yǔn luò ， tā nǎ ér hái yǒu dǎn liàng liú zài zhè lǐ yǔ lín xuān dān dǎ dú dòu ne ？
连宝蛇的化身都已经陨落，她哪儿还有胆量留在这里与林轩单打独斗呢？
Immortal cultivators had a long lifespan, so they valued their lives more than ordinary people.
sī háo shèng suàn yě wú ， tā kě bù xiǎng rú bǎo shé yì bān de hún fēi pò sàn le qù ， bì jìng duì fāng sǔn shī de yě jiù yī jù huà shēn ér yǐ ， tā liú zài zhè lǐ de kě shì běn tǐ 。
丝毫胜算也无，他可不想如宝蛇一般的魂飞魄散了去，毕竞对方损失的也就一具化身而已，他留在这里的可是本体。
She could leave and hide in a remote primeval swamp; wouldn't Lin Xuan notice?
néng qū néng shēn fāng wèi dà zhàng fū 。
能屈能伸方为大丈夫。
The Soul Fox Venerable thought with malice. This guy truly was an outstanding leader; not all cultivators would think of such tactics.
cǐ kè duì líng hú zūn zhě lái shuō ， táo pǎo jiù shì zuì hǎo de xuǎn zé 。
此刻对灵狐尊者来说，逃跑就是最好的选择。
His plan was good, but escaping now wasn't that easy.
suī rán rú cǐ yī lái ， hòu huàn wú qióng ， dàn dāng wù zhī jí ， shì jiāng xiǎo mìng ér bǎo zhù 。
虽然如此一来，后患无穷，但当务之急，是将小命儿保住。
Seeing the opponent turn into a streak of light, Lin Xuan sneered: "Fleeing? Do you think your friend can still leave at this point?"
dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě ， shòu yuán màn cháng yǐ jí ， suǒ yǐ duì yú zì jǐ de xiǎo mìng ér ， yuǎn bǐ yì bān rù gèng jiā zhēn xī 。
渡劫期修仙者，寿元漫长以极，所以对于自己的小命儿，远比一般入更加珍稀。
Before he finished speaking, his finger shot out in front.
dà bù liǎo zì jǐ lí kāi cǐ dì ， fǎn zhèng líng jiè miàn jī guǎng bó ， guāng shì zǔ chéng tā de xiǎo jiè miàn jiù yǒu shù bǎi zhī duō ， zì jǐ zhǎo gè piān pì de hóng huāng dà zé yī duǒ ， zhè lín xiǎo zi nán dào hái néng dīng zhe zì jǐ bù fàng me ？
大不了自己离开此地，反正灵界面积广博，光是组成它的小界面就有数百之多，自己找个偏僻的洪荒大泽一躲，这林小子难道还能盯着自己不放么？
Sizzle... A five-colored light emerged from the Black Moon Northern Witch Temple and vanished after a brief flicker.
The precious snake suddenly changed its demeanor.
Lin Xuan's abilities, however, were not limited to just that.
With his right hand, he struck out a powerful punch while his left hand formed into claws. As his movements continued, an ethereal sword materialized between his fingers and palm, thin as cicada wings, almost translucent when viewed from afar.
The sword looked incredibly fragile but contained a terrifying法则力量that sent chills down one's spine.
Lin Xuan flicked his wrist, sending the sword forward with great precision. The entire process was silent, yet an imposing wave of剑气surged forth, obscuring the sky and creating a grand spectacle.
But in an instant, all the剑气compressed into a fine crystal thread.
That thread was delicate but still contained a terrifying法则力量.

They surged like a tidal wave, forming an invisible禁制that locked her in place firmly.

The woman was both shocked and angry. She understood the dire situation but wouldn't sit idly by.
She struck her head, releasing several dark green sword lights.
