第三千二百四十七章 尚未脱险

;

;

The situation was dire, with the possibility of a sudden collapse at any moment. The sweat on her forehead dripped like beans as she unleashed all her abilities to flee.

rú jīn de xíng shì ， shuō jí jí kě wēi yě bù wèi guò ， suí shí dōu yǒu kě néng yǔn luò ， shèn zhì hún fēi pò sàn diào de 。。

如今的形势，说岌岌可危也不为过，随时都有可能陨落，甚至魂飞魄散掉的。。

Yet, Miao Yin's combat experience was also rich; how could she miss such an opportunity? Her attacks became even more urgent, leaving no breathing room for the female demon.

cǐ nǚ de é tóu shàng ， mǎn shì dòu dà de hàn zhū ， shī zhǎn chū hún shēn xiè shù ， xiǎng yào luò huāng ér táo 。

此女的额头上，满是豆大的汗珠，施展出浑身解数，想要落荒而逃。

The black phoenix demon’s situation grew increasingly unfavorable. Meanwhile, a stroke of bad luck struck—Blood Moon Demon Toad had already eliminated its opponent.

rán ér miào yīn dòu fǎ jīng yàn yì hěn fēng fù ， zhè me hǎo de jī huì qǐ huì cuò guò ， gōng shì yuè fā de jìn jí ， gēn běn jiù bù gěi cǐ nǚ chuǎn qì zhī xī ， gèng bú yào shuō luò huāng ér táo de kòng xì 。

然而妙音斗法经验亦很丰富，这么好的机会岂会错过，攻势越发的劲急，根本就不给此女喘气之息，更不要说落荒而逃的空隙。

It slowly turned its head, with a fierce light in its eyes, and an alarming aura emanated from its massive body. It seemed to move its mouth, causing the space around it to blur. A long, rope-like thing sliced through the sky.

hēi fèng yāo nǚ de chǔ jìng yuè fā de bù lì 。

黑凤妖女的处境越发的不利。

No, that wasn't a rope; it was Blood Moon Demon Toad's tongue. As it extended and retracted, it grew to over a thousand feet in length, like a sword, piercing towards her head with deadly intent.

ér wū lòu piān féng lián yè yǔ ， xuè yuè mó chán yǐ jiāng duì shǒu miè chú 。

而屋漏偏逢连夜雨，血月魔蟾已将对手灭除。

The action of a toad extending its tongue bore some resemblance to how frogs catch insects, but the power behind it was incomparable. This attack contained法则力量 (force of law).

tā yǐ huǎn huǎn zhuǎn guò le tóu lú ， yǎn zhōng xiōng máng shǎn shuò ， jīng rén de shā qì zì tā páng dà de shēn qū zhōng mí sàn ér chū 。

它已缓缓转过了头颅，眼中凶芒闪烁，惊人的杀气自它庞大的身躯中弥散而出。

The timing was perfect; even at full strength, the black phoenix demon might not be able to withstand it.

huǎng hū jiān ， tā sì hū dòng le dòng zuǐ ， suí hòu kōng jiān yī zhèn mó hú ， yī cháng tiáo zhuàng ， fǎng fú shéng suǒ yàng de dōng xī jiù huà pò tiān jì 。

恍惚间，它似乎动了动嘴，随后空间一阵模糊，一长条状，仿佛绳索样的东西就划破天际。

With her current dire situation, what could she do?

bú duì ， nà nǎ lǐ shì shén me shéng suǒ ， gēn běn jiù shì xuè yuè mó chán de shé tou ， yī shēn yī suō jiān ， jìng rán bào zhǎng dào qiān zhàng yú ， rú lì jiàn yì bān ， xiàng zhe tóu dǐng hěn hěn cì qù 。

不对，那哪里是什么绳索，根本就是血月魔蟾的舌头，一伸一缩间，竟然暴涨到千丈余，如利剑一般，向着头顶狠狠刺去。

Desperation clouded her expression as she rolled in mid-air, emitting a brilliant aura. A dozen-foot-high black flame shot up into the sky.

chán chú tǔ shé ， zhè dòng zuò ， yǔ shì sú de qīng wā ， bǔ shí kūn chóng yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì ， rán ér wēi lì ， què bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ ， tā zhè yī jī ， yùn hán dé yǒu fǎ zé zhī lì 。

蟾蜍吐舌，这动作，与世俗的青蛙，捕食昆虫有几分相似，然而威力，却不可同日而语，它这一击，蕴含得有法则之力。

A black phoenix several feet long emerged from the flames, spreading its wings and letting out a nine-heavenly cry.

shí jī gèng shì bǎ wò dé qià dào hǎo chù ， hēi fèng yāo nǚ jiù suàn shì quán shèng zhī shí ， néng bù néng jiē zhù ， yě bù tài hǎo shuō 。

时机更是把握得恰到好处，黑凤妖女就算是全盛之时，能不能接住，也不太好说。

Suddenly, intense fluctuations appeared before her. The nearby void collapsed and twisted, revealing a white hole.

gèng bié tí tā xiàn zài de chǔ jìng yǐ bù lì dào jí chù 。

更别提她现在的处境已不利到极处。

The black phoenix毫不犹豫地一头扎了进去，顿时踪迹全无。

gāi zěn me bàn ne ？

该怎么办呢？

This was spatial secret technique. The black phoenix lineage also inherited the true spirit celestial phoenix's bloodline, allowing them to naturally cast some spatial abilities.

cǐ nǚ páng huáng wú zhù 。

此女彷徨无助。

Used here, it was perfect; she dodged Blood Moon Demon Toad’s fatal strike.

rán ér zài kùn nán yòu rú hé ， zuò yǐ dài bì dōu shì bù kě néng de 。。

然而再困难又如何，坐以待毙都是不可能的。。

While this could be considered a rebirth from the brink of death, saying that all danger had passed would be premature. The situation hadn’t ended yet. Miao Yin’s golden musical notes transformed into swords and flew towards an empty space.

cǐ nǚ liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī jué jué zhī sè ， zài bàn kōng zhōng yī gǔn ， hún shēn shàng xià líng guāng dà zuò ， shí yú zhàng gāo hēi sè huǒ yàn chōng tiān ér chū 。

此女脸上闪过一丝决绝之色，在半空中一滚，浑身上下灵光大做，十余丈高黑色火焰冲天而出。

The surprise was palpable; there was nothing at the location where her attack struck. However, the mystery quickly unraveled as a burst of anger echoed, and the void where the sword pointed began to ripple like a small lake after a stone had been thrown in.

huǒ yàn zhōng yī zhī shù zhàng zhǎng de hēi fèng xiǎn xiàn ér chū ， shuāng chì yī zhǎn ， fèng míng jiǔ tiān 。

火焰中一只数丈长的黑凤显现而出，双翅一展，凤鸣九天。

A phoenix emerged, and the sword had already reached within a dozen feet of her.

suí hòu ， jiù zài tā de shēn qián ， jù liè bō dòng chuán lái 。

随后，就在她的身前，剧烈波动传来。

Preemptive strike!

fù jìn xū kōng jìng yī xià tā xiàn niǔ qū 。 yí gè bái méng méng de kǒng dòng fú xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。

附近虚空竟一下塌陷扭曲。一个白濛濛的孔洞浮现在视线里。

Miao Yin had anticipated the opponent’s spatial technique and launched an attack. The timing was perfect; there was no way for the demon to dodge it.

zhí jìng shí zhàng yǒu yú ， gěi rén de gǎn jué shēn bú jiàn dǐ 。

直径十丈有余，给人的感觉深不见底。

Despair flashed across the black phoenix demon's eyes.

nà hēi fèng háo bù yóu yù ， yī tóu zhā le jìn qù 。

那黑凤毫不犹豫，一头扎了进去。

But just then, a piercing sound echoed as silver light flickered, several sword beams intercepting Miao Yin’s attacks.

dùn shí zōng jì quán wú 。

顿时踪迹全无。

A hair’s breadth away from disaster, she narrowly escaped danger. The entire process, though complex, took only an instant. The peril was beyond words to describe.

cǐ nǎi kōng jiān mì shù 。

此乃空间秘术。

Black light flashed, and the phoenix vanished. Xiao Fairy's face reappeared, still showing signs of shock from nearly perishing. Her gaze towards Lin Xuan now carried more gratitude.

hēi fèng yī zú ， yě chuán chéng le zhēn líng tiān fèng de xuè tǒng ， gù ér tiān shēng jiù néng shī zhǎn chū yì diǎn kōng jiān shén tōng 。

黑凤一族，也传承了真灵天凤的血统，故而天生就能施展出一点空间神通。

"Friend Daoist Lin, what should we do now?"

ér yòng zài zhè lǐ ， gèng shì qià dào hǎo chù ， duǒ guò le xuè yuè mó chán de bì shā yī jī 。

而用在这里，更是恰到好处，躲过了血月魔蟾的必杀一击。

Though also a cultivator at the渡劫 (transcending tribulation) stage, after that scene, she clearly understood the gap between her and Lin Xuan's strength. Facing such an opponent, she decided to follow his lead.

shuō jié hòu yú shēng yě bù wèi guò ， rán ér yào shuō wēi jī yǐ jīng jiě chú ， zé duō shǎo yǒu xiē wéi shí guò zǎo le 。

说劫后余生也不为过，然而要说危机已经解除，则多少有些为时过早了。

"We'll handle it as it comes," Lin Xuan said coldly.

shì qíng bìng wèi gào yí duàn luò 。 zhǐ jiàn miào yīn xiān zi yù shǒu yī fú ， jīn sè de yīn fú huà zuò lì jiàn ， yī shǎn jí shì de xiàng xū kōng de yī cè fēi lüè guò qù le 。

事情并未告一段落。只见妙音仙子玉手一拂，金色的音符化作利剑，一闪即逝的像虚空的一侧飞掠过去了。

"Really?"

ràng rén chà yì de shì ， nà ér kōng wú yī wù ， miào yīn de gōng jī 。 zhe shí ràng rén xiàn rù le yún lǐ wù lǐ de zhuàng tài zhōng 。

让人诧异的是，那儿空无一物，妙音的攻击。着实让人陷入了云里雾里的状态中。

The black phoenix demon’s face showed hesitation. She had already used all her abilities; continuing this would likely result in her demise here. This was not a scenario she wished to face.

rán ér yí huò shàng wèi jiē chù ， mí dǐ hěn kuài què zì jǐ jiē kāi le 。

然而疑惑尚未接触，谜底很快却自己揭开了。

However, what Lin Xuan suggested made sense, and she had no other good ideas. Refusing him was impossible.

yī zhèn jīng nù jiāo chì shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà jiàn guāng suǒ zhǐ de xū kōng chù ， tū rán rú tóng bèi tóu le yī méi shí zǐ de xiǎo hú ， xùn sù bō dòng qǐ lái le 。。

一阵惊怒娇叱声传入耳朵，那剑光所指的虚空处，突然如同被投了一枚石子的小湖，迅速波动起来了。。

Caught between two difficult choices, her expression was grim.

suí hòu yī zhī fèng huáng fú xiàn ér chū ， jiàn guāng yǐ dào le tā shēn qián zhàng xǔ zhī chù 。

随后一只凤凰浮现而出，剑光已到了她身前丈许之处。

"Rest assured, Fairy Xiao, I won't let you fight alone. I will help."

yù pàn gōng jī ！

预判攻击！

Lin Xuan's intelligence allowed him to read her expression, knowing she was considering retreating. The current enemy wasn’t something he could handle alone; thus, he needed Xiao Fairy’s assistance.

miào yīn jìng rán shì kàn chuān le duì fāng de kōng jiān mì shù ， suǒ yǐ tí qián zuò chū gōng jī le 。 zhè yī xià lái de tū rán ， shí jī yòu shì qià dào hǎo chù ， duì fāng gēn běn jiù duǒ wú kě duǒ 。

妙音竟然是看穿了对方的空间秘术，所以提前做出攻击了。这一下来得突然，时机又是恰到好处，对方根本就躲无可躲。

"Help me?"

hēi fèng yāo nǚ de yǎn zhōng ， yǐ liú lù chū le jué wàng zhī sè 。

黑凤妖女的眼中，已流露出了绝望之色。

The black phoenix demon’s face showed surprise. Before she could ask more, Lin Xuan’s body emitted a flash of light, and another Lin Xuan appeared beside him.

rán ér jiù zài zhè shí 。 pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhǐ jiàn yín máng shǎn shuò ， jǐ dào jiàn guāng hòu fā xiān zhì ， jiāng miào yīn xiān zi de gōng jī lán jié xià lái le 。

然而就在这时。破空声传入耳朵，只见银芒闪烁，几道剑光后发先至，将妙音仙子的攻击拦截下来了。

They looked identical except for the slightly darker skin tone on one.

chā zhī háo lí miù yǐ qiān lǐ 。 hēi fèng yāo nǚ huà xiǎn wéi yí 。

差之毫厘谬以千里。黑凤妖女化险为夷。

"This is an external manifestation."

zhěng gè guò chéng shuō lái fán fù ， qí shí bù guò shùn xī de gōng fu 。 rán ér qí zhōng de xiōng xiǎn ， què nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ shuō dé qīng chǔ 。

整个过程说来繁复，其实不过瞬息的功夫。然而其中的凶险，却难以用言语说得清楚。

As a渡劫 (transcending tribulation) cultivator, Xiao Fairy recognized it immediately.

hēi guāng yī shǎn ， fèng huáng xiāo shī bú jiàn ， xiǎo xiān zi de róng yán chóng xīn yìng rù yǎn lián 。

黑光一闪，凤凰消失不见，筱仙子的容颜重新映入眼帘。

"Please use your power to stall Blood Moon Demon Toad. I will assist with my manifestation. As for Miao Yin, leave that to me," Lin Xuan instructed.

xiǎng zhe gāng cái chà diǎn hún guī dì fǔ ， tā de liǎn shàng yī jiù dài zhe jīng jì zhī sè ， ér wàng xiàng lín xuān de biǎo qíng ， yě jiù duō le jǐ fēn gǎn jī de chéng fèn le 。

想着刚才差点魂归地府，她的脸上依旧带着惊悸之色，而望向林轩的表情，也就多了几分感激的成分了。

"Still..."

“ lín dào yǒu ， wǒ men xiàn zài yīng gāi rú hé ？”

“林道友，我们现在应该如何？”

She hesitated; while Lin Xuan proposed using his manifestation, an intermediate realm entity was still far weaker than the original.

cǐ nǚ suī rán yě shì dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， rán ér jīng lì le gāng gāng de yí mù ， xīn zhōng yǐ rán qīng chǔ ， zì jǐ yǔ lín xuān de shí lì ， shuō yǒu tiān rǎng zhī bié tài guò ， dàn què rán yǒu bù shǎo chā jù de 。

此女虽然也是渡劫级别的修仙者，然而经历了刚刚的一幕，心中已然清楚，自己与林轩的实力，说有天壤之别太过，但确然有不少差距的。

If she faced Miao Yin, it might buy some time, but Blood Moon Demon Toad was clearly more formidable...

rú jīn miàn duì qiáng dí ， tā yǐ dǎ dìng le wéi lín xuān mǎ shǒu shì zhān de zhǔ yì 。

如今面对强敌，她已打定了唯林轩马首是瞻的主意。

But she understood why Lin Xuan had arranged this. Only in such a way could they hope to turn danger into safety.

“ hái néng rú hé ， bīng lái jiāng dǎng ， shuǐ lái tǔ yǎn 。”

“还能如何，兵来将挡，水来土掩。”

After considering all possibilities, she decided: "Very well, I will do my best to stall. How long I can hold them off is unclear..."

lín xuān lěng lěng de shuō 。

林轩冷冷的说。

Satisfied with her response, Lin Xuan didn’t say more and rushed towards Miao Yin.

“ zhè ……”

“这……”

Miao Yin’s expression was terrible; she never imagined that Old Stone would be eliminated by Lin Xuan. As a senior elder of the Celestial Sound Palace, her vision far exceeded ordinary cultivators. She now knew Lin Xuan's strength was formidable.

hēi fèng yāo nǚ de liǎn shàng ， bù yóu de fú xiàn chū yī sī nán sè ， tuō yán ， tā zì wèn gāng gāng yǐ jīng shǐ jǐn le hún shēn xiè shù ， rán ér bǐ cǐ shí lì de chā jù bǎi zài nǎ lǐ ， ruò shì jì xù zhè yàng tuō yán xià qù ， suí shí dōu yǒu kě néng yǔn luò yú cǐ dì 。

黑凤妖女的脸上，不由得浮现出一丝难色，拖延，她自问刚刚已经使尽了浑身解数，然而彼此实力的差距摆在哪里，若是继续这样拖延下去，随时都有可能陨落于此地。

She should have known better than to invite him for treasure hunting.

zhè zì rán shì cǐ nǚ jué bù yuàn yì miàn duì de jié jú 。

这自然是此女绝不愿意面对的结局。

But it was too late now. In both secular and spiritual worlds, there were no regrets in making such decisions.

kě lín xuān suǒ shuō de huà hé qíng hé lǐ ， ér tā chú cǐ zhī wài ， yě méi yǒu shén me bié de hǎo zhǔ yì ， xiǎng yào jù jué ， yě shì bù kě néng dì 。

可林轩所说的话合情合理，而她除此之外，也没有什么别的好主意，想要拒绝，也是不可能地。

Well, could a mere initial existence really defeat this intermediate one?
