第三千二百四十九章 将计就计

;

Miao Yin's face turned an unnatural white. The feeling was indescribable, akin to the damage done to a soul-bound treasure artifact. Lin Xuan was taken aback by this result but, given his nature, he wasn't about to let such a good opportunity slip away.

..bsp; miào yīn de liǎn sè ， yī xià zi biàn dé shà bái wú bǐ 。

..bsp;妙音的脸色，一下子变得煞白无比。

With a flick of his sleeve, his attacks became even more ruthless. Although the opponent had reflected the sword light earlier, Lin Xuan believed that she too had paid a heavy price for it. Therefore, with an extra push, he could likely break through her defenses.

nà gǎn jué ， nán yǐ yán shù ， rú guǒ yí dìng yào shuō ， jiù yǔ běn mìng fǎ bǎo shòu sǔn pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù 。

那感觉，难以言述，如果一定要说，就与本命法宝受损颇有几分相似之处。

The sky was torn apart as sword lights like snowflakes sliced through it. The mirror-like treasure artifact reflected some of the attacks but eventually showed signs of strain, cracks appearing and then shattering with a loud crack.

rú cǐ jié guǒ ， ràng lín xuān dà gǎn cuò è ， dàn yǐ tā de xìng gé ， zhè yàng de hǎo jī huì zì rán bù yuàn yì cuò guò 。

如此结果，让林轩大感错愕，但以他的性格，这样的好机会自然不愿意错过。

"Bad news!"

xiù páo yī fú ， gōng shì biàn dé yuè fā de líng lì le 。

袖袍一拂，攻势变得越发的凌厉了。

Fear flashed across Miao Yin's face for the first time. But by now, she was clearly too late to dodge. Sibilant sounds of breaking air filled his ears as countless sword lights pierced her body.

gāng cái ， duì fāng suī rán jiāng jiàn guāng fǎn tán ， dàn lín xuān xiāng xìn ， tā yě jué bú shì qīng ér yì jǔ zuò dào zhè yì diǎn ”“。

刚才，对方虽然将剑光反弹，但林轩相信，她也绝不是轻而易举做到这一点”“。

However, Lin Xuan did not show any signs of joy. After several rounds of combat, he had already sensed that this woman was no easy opponent and would not fall so easily for emotional or logical reasons.

wèi cǐ fù chū de dài jià duō bàn fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， suǒ yǐ zì jǐ zài jiā yī bǎ jìn ， duō bàn jiù kě yǐ jiāng qí fáng yù gōng pò 。

为此付出的代价多半非同小可，所以自己再加一把劲，多半就可以将其防御攻破。

Indeed, her body was pierced but gradually faded away before vanishing from sight in the void.

yī shí jiān ， jiàn guāng rú xuě ， zhěng gè tiān kōng dōu bèi sī liè 。

一时间，剑光如雪，整个天空都被撕裂。

What is this?

nà jìng zi mú yàng de bǎo wù fǎn tán le shǎo xǔ ， guǒ rán yǒu xiē hòu xù fá lì ， yī tiáo tiáo liè wén fú xiàn ér qǐ ， suí hòu “ huā lā ” yī shēng pò liè 。

那镜子模样的宝物反弹了少许，果然有些后续乏力，一条条裂纹浮现而起，随后“哗啦”一声破裂。

Shell escape technique?

“ bù hǎo ！”

“不好！”

A fierce glint flashed through Lin Xuan's eyes as he hurriedly released his spiritual awareness. However, there were no results.

miào yīn de liǎn shàng ， dì yī cì fú xiàn chū le wèi jù zhī sè ， kě zhè shí hòu zài duǒ ， yǐ jīng míng xiǎn lái bù jí le 。

妙音的脸上，第一次浮现出了畏惧之色，可这时候再躲，已经明显来不及了。

But he wasn't anxious; it was merely a minor trick for him. A silvery light flickered in his eyes as he silently deployed the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye.

chī chī de pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， wú shù jiàn guāng zài tā de shēn qū shàng dòng chuān ér guò 。

嗤嗤的破空声传入耳朵，无数剑光在她的身躯上洞穿而过。

Sure enough, under this divine eye technique, Miao Yin's form appeared, though still somewhat blurry. Her actions and movements could be discerned to some extent.

rán ér lín xuān liǎn shàng bìng méi yǒu xǐ sè 。

然而林轩脸上并没有喜色。

To be honest, this goddess possessed considerable prowess.

gāng cái jǐ gè huí hé de jiāo shǒu ， yǐ jīng ràng tā tǐ huì dào cǐ nǚ bù hǎo duì fù ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， dōu bú huì zhè me kuài yǔn luò 。

刚才几个回合的交手，已经让他体会到此女不好对付，于情于理，都不会这么快陨落。

However, unexpectedly, she did not approach him stealthily but flew towards another direction instead.

guǒ rán ， shēn qū bèi dòng chuān ， què zhú jiàn de biàn dàn 。

果然，身躯被洞穿，却逐渐的变淡。

Black Phoenix Demoness!

suí hòu yú xū kōng zhōng xiāo shī bú jiàn 。

随后于虚空中消失不见。

Indeed, Miao Yin had planned a feint to distract while secretly making her move.

zhè shì shén me ？

这是什么？

After the series of battles, she was certain that Lin Xuan was formidable. In a one-on-one fight, she would almost certainly be outmatched and might even fall.

jīn chán tuō qiào ？

金蝉脱壳？

This woman already harbored some fear.

lín xuān yǎn zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu lì máng shǎn guò 。

林轩眼中隐隐有厉芒闪过。

But giving up on what seemed impossible was not an option.

lián máng jiāng shén shí fàng chū 。

连忙将神识放出。

Regardless of whether the opponent would let her go or not, she wouldn't do so for the True Immortal Relics.

què bìng méi yǒu shōu huò 。

却并没有收获。

The treasures left by immortals were undoubtedly extraordinary, but opening them required significant effort. She had tried and failed, only to finally decipher the restrictions after consulting numerous ancient texts.

bù guò tā xīn zhōng què yì diǎn yě bù jí ， zhè duì tā ér yán ， bù guò shì diāo chóng xiǎo jì ， lín xuān móu dǐ shēn chù ， yǐn yǐn yǒu yī sī yín máng shǎn guò ， yǐ qiāo wú shēng xī de shī zhǎn chū tiān fèng shén mù lái le 。

不过他心中却一点也不急，这对他而言，不过是雕虫小技，林轩眸底深处，隐隐有一丝银芒闪过，已悄无声息的施展出天凤神目来了。

There were two methods: one was straightforward—reaching a level of power comparable to the immortal who set up the restriction and breaking it with sheer force. This method was simple and effective, but Miao Yin Fairy Lady couldn't achieve it. Even if she were an advanced cultivator, let alone a scattered spirit demon king, such brute strength wouldn't suffice.

guǒ rán ， zài cǐ líng mù shén tōng xià ， hěn kuài jiù yǒu le shōu huò 。

果然，在此灵目神通下，很快就有了收获。

The other method involved using the spiritual essence of three immortals at the Transcendence stage to break the restriction.

miào yīn de shēn yǐng xiǎn xiàn ér chū ， suī rán yī jiù yǒu diǎn mó hú ， dàn qí xíng wéi jǔ zhǐ dà tǐ hái shì kàn de qīng chǔ 。

妙音的身影显现而出，虽然依旧有点模糊，但其行为举止大体还是看得清楚。

That bald man had already perished, and his soul was absorbed by the restriction.

píng xīn lái shuō 。 cǐ nǚ shén tōng hái shì pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn bù fán zhī chù 。

平心来说。此女神通还是颇有几分不凡之处。

With Lin Xuan and the Black Phoenix Demoness eliminated, the restriction would naturally activate. However, it was a complex situation; any misstep could lead to her own demise.

zhǐ bù guò chū rén yì liào de 。 tā bìng méi yǒu qiāo wú shēng xī de jiē jìn zì jǐ ， fǎn ér qiǎo rán xiàng lìng wài yī biān fēi le guò qù 。

只不过出人意料的。她并没有悄无声息的接近自己，反而悄然像另外一边飞了过去。

This wasn't idle talk. Therefore, she now needed to break this deadlock with surprise.

hēi fèng yāo nǚ ！

黑凤妖女！

The previous opportunity provided just that.

méi cuò ， miào yīn dǎ dī shì míng xiū zhàn dào ， àn dù chén cāng de zhǔ yì 。

没错，妙音打的是明修栈道，暗度陈仓的主意。

By eliminating the Black Phoenix Demoness, Lin Xuan's support would be cut off, making him less formidable.

jīng guò gāng cái yī xì liè de jiāo shǒu ， tā yǐ xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， lín xuān què shí bù hǎo duì fù 。

经过刚才一系列的交手，她已心里有数，林轩确实不好对付。

...

dān dǎ dú dòu ， zì jǐ shí yǒu bā jiǔ bú shì duì shǒu 。

单打独斗，自己十有八九不是对手。

Although Lin Xuan hated Miao Yin deeply, he couldn't help but admire her after understanding her plan. This woman was indeed brave and cunning.

yí bù xiǎo xīn 。 hái yǒu kě néng yǔn luò 。

一不小心。还有可能陨落。

While the Black Phoenix Demoness had the weakest strength, she was indispensable at this critical juncture. Her demise would put him in a dire situation.

cǐ nǚ xīn zhōng ， yǐ yǒu jǐ fēn qiè yì le 。

此女心中，已有几分怯意了。

Fortunately, he had seen through it.

dàn fàng qì bù kě néng de 。

但放弃不可能的。

With a sigh of relief, Lin Xuan began his own plans. He decided to turn her strategy against her.

qiě bù shuō duì fāng shì fǒu huì fàng shǒu 。

且不说对方是否会放手。

Thus, without making any noise, he used shell escape technique as well. While appearing to stay where he was, he cast concealment and quietly flew towards Miao Yin Fairy Lady.

jiù suàn shì wèi le zhēn xiān yí jì tā yě bú huì nà me zuò 。

就算是为了真仙遗迹她也不会那么做。

The false body left behind was merely an illusion.

xiān rén liú xià lái de bǎo wù kěn dìng shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rán ér xiǎng yào jiāng bǎo zàng dǎ kāi què yǒu jí dà de nán dù 。

仙人留下来的宝物肯定是非同小可，然而想要将宝藏打开却有极大的难度。

Ordinary illusions couldn't deceive Transcendence cultivators.

cǐ nǚ zuò guò cháng shì ， què gēn běn bù dé yào lǐng ， zuì hòu fān yuè le bù shǎo diǎn jí ， cái zhōng yú jiāng zhè zhēn xiān liú xià lái de jìn zhì nòng qīng chǔ 。

此女做过尝试，却根本不得要领，最后翻阅了不少典籍，才终于将这真仙留下来的禁制弄清楚。

However, this particular illusion was crafted from the Illusory Sword of the Nine Palaces within the Nine Palace Momentous Sword. It had a realistic effect; while it might not hold up over time, it could mislead for now without issue.

xiǎng yào dǎ kāi 。 fāng fǎ yǒu liǎng gè 。

想要打开。方法有两个。

Sure enough, Miao Yin Fairy Lady didn't notice anything amiss. She approached the Black Phoenix Demoness from ten feet away but remained silent.

dì yī shì bù qǔ qiǎo ， bù cáng zhuō ， shí lì dá dào yǔ zhè wèi bù xià jìn zhì de xiān rén xiāng pì měi de dì bù ， yī lì jiàng shí huì ， jiāng jìn zhì pò chú 。

第一是不取巧，不藏拙，实力达到与这位布下禁制的仙人相媲美的地步，一力降十会，将禁制破除。

She was waiting for an opportunity to strike decisively.

zhè ge fāng fǎ jiǎn dān ér yǒu xiào ， rán ér miào yīn xiān zi dāng rán bàn bú dào 。

这个方法简单而有效，然而妙音仙子当然办不到。

The Black Phoenix Demoness's situation was still precarious but better than she had initially anticipated due to Lin Xuan's external manifestation assisting her, significantly reducing her pressure and ensuring that she wouldn't face immediate danger.

bié shuō tā yī dù jié zhōng qī de xiū shì ， jiù suàn shì sàn xiān yāo wáng lái dào zhè lǐ ， yě tóng yàng bù kě néng yòng mán lì pò chú zhēn xiān liú xià lái de jìn zhì 。

别说她一渡劫中期的修士，就算是散仙妖王来到这里，也同样不可能用蛮力破除真仙留下来的禁制。

This was why Miao Yin Fairy Lady changed her strategy. She wanted to eliminate the Black Phoenix first before engaging in a one-on-one battle; otherwise, she feared being the first to fall.

chú cǐ yǐ wài 。 hái yǒu yí gè fāng fǎ 。 jiù shì yī kào sān wèi dù jié qī cún zài de shén hún zhī lì ， yě kě yǐ dǎ kāi jìn zhì 。

除此以外。还有一个方法。就是依靠三位渡劫期存在的神魂之力，也可以打开禁制。

That would make others the beneficiaries of her efforts.

nà guāng tóu dà hàn yǐ jīng yǔn luò 。 tā de yuán yīng yě bèi jìn zhì xī shōu diào le 。

那光头大汉已经陨落。他的元婴也被禁制吸收掉了。

"Goo!"

zhǐ yào zài jiāng lín xuān yǔ hēi fèng yāo nǚ miè chú ， zhè jìn zhì zì rán jiù huì qǐ dòng 。

只要再将林轩与黑凤妖女灭除，这禁制自然就会启动。

A loud sound echoed as the demoness's tongue extended and sliced through the air, transforming into countless tongues like a storm. The Black Phoenix Demoness's face contorted with fear at this sudden attack. Fortunately, Lin Xuan's manifestation helped her avoid severe injury. However, this left an opening for Miao Yin.

rán ér shuō shuō róng yì ， xiàn zài zì jǐ miàn lín de jú miàn què shì fù zá yǐ jí ， yí gè bù hǎo ， jiù yǒu kě néng shì zì jǐ yǔn luò de jié jú 。

然而说说容易，现在自己面临的局面却是复杂以极，一个不好，就有可能是自己陨落的结局。

Miao Yin was overjoyed to find such an opportunity so quickly. She wouldn't let it slip away. As a Transcendence cultivator, she wasn't limited to one technique. Her delicate hand pulled out a hairpin from her head and transformed it into a glittering sword with a flick of her wrist.

zhè huà jué fēi hú yán luàn yǔ ， suǒ yǐ zì jǐ xiàn zài yào zuò de jiù shì pò jú 。

这话绝非胡言乱语，所以自己现在要做的就是破局。

She then opened her mouth and exhaled a stream of energy. The sword immediately glowed as it pierced Miao Yin Fairy Lady's back.

bì xū chū qí bù yì cái yǒu kě néng qǔ dé shèng lì 。

必须出其不意才有可能取得胜利。

"Bad news!"

ér gāng cái jiù tí gōng le yí gè hěn hǎo de shí jī 。

而刚才就提供了一个很好的时机。

The entire process was swift, and by the time Miao Yin realized something was wrong, it was too late. She tried to dodge but found herself trapped with no escape from the demoness's attack.
