rú cǐ shēng shì ， xuè yuè mó chán yě bù gǎn qīng hū ， liǎn shàng bù yóu zì zhǔ de lù chū le jǐ fēn níng zhòng zhī sè 。 yuè dú ..※※
如此声势，血月魔蟾也不敢轻忽，脸上不由自主的露出了几分凝重之色。阅读..※※
The scene was so intense that even the Blood Moon Demon Toad hesitated, a trace of seriousness appearing on its face. Reading...
chū lüè yī shù ， nà kū lóu jū rán yǒu yì bǎi líng bā kē zhī duō 。
初略一数，那骷髅居然有一百零八颗之多。
After a rough count, there were actually 108 skulls.
suí hòu guǐ xiào shēng dà zuò ， zhè xiē kū lóu zuǐ bā yī zhāng luàn jué ， gē bēng gē bēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， kǒu pēn mó huǒ ， è hěn hěn de xiàng qí shā guò lái le 。
随后鬼啸声大做，这些骷髅嘴巴一张乱嚼，咯嘣咯嘣的声音传入耳朵，口喷魔火，恶狠狠的像其杀过来了。
Following this, ghostly howls echoed as these skulls began to gnash their teeth, producing a series of cracking sounds. Fiery flames shot out from their mouths, viciously charging towards Lin Xuan with malice in their eyes.
nà xiē mó huǒ jiē zuò bì lǜ zhī sè ， pèi shàng yīn fēng ， yuè fā lìng rén cóng gǔ zi lǐ jué de fā hán ， rán ér wēi lì què dàng zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yóu qí shì shù liàng nà me duō ， lián chéng yī piàn ， bàn biān tiān mù dōu bèi cǎn lǜ sè de huǒ yàn bāo guǒ 。
那些魔火皆做碧绿之色，配上阴风，越发令人从骨子里觉得发寒，然而威力却当真是非同小可，尤其是数量那么多，连成一片，半边天幕都被惨绿色的火焰包裹。
These demonic flames were emerald green and paired with the eerie wind, making one shiver from the core. However, they were truly formidable, especially when so many of them combined to form a vast greenish flame covering half the sky.
shēng shì lìng rén jīng è ， dàn jǐn jǐn shì zhè yàng ， yī jiù bù zú yǐ duì fù yī zhēn líng de ， jí biàn xiǎng yào jiāng duì fāng tuō zhù ， yě tài miǎn wéi qí nán le 。
声势令人惊愕，但仅仅是这样，依旧不足以对付一真灵的，即便想要将对方拖住，也太勉为其难了。
The spectacle was shocking, but it wasn't enough to deal with a True Spirit alone. Even if he tried to hold off his opponent, it would be too difficult.
zhè yì diǎn ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， gù ér tā suǒ zhǔn bèi hǎo de shǒu duàn ， yě jiù bù jǐn zhǐ yú cǐ le 。
这一点，林轩心中有数，故而他所准备好的手段，也就不仅止于此了。
Lin Xuan knew this well and thus had more than just these preparations at hand.
shēn shēn hū xī ， lín xuān bèi hòu tū rán jīn máng dà qǐ 。
深深呼吸，林轩背后突然金芒大起。
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan suddenly emitted golden light from behind him.
yào mù de jīn guāng ， bǐ tài yáng hái yào míng liàng 。
耀目的金光，比太阳还要明亮。
The dazzling golden light was brighter than the sun itself.
suí hòu wǎng zhōng jiān yī jù 。
随后往中间一聚。
It then condensed in the middle.
yī cuǐ càn jù dà de fǎ xiàng yìng rù dào le yǎn lián lǐ 。
一璀璨巨大的法相映入到了眼帘里。
A magnificent figure of法相 (fǎ xiàng) appeared before his eyes.
jiǔ tóu shí bā bì 。
九头十八臂。
With nine heads and eighteen arms, each arm posed differently. The expressions on the nine heads varied as well.
měi yī tiáo shǒu bì ， bǎi chū de zào xíng dōu shì gè bù xiāng tóng ， jiǔ kē tóu lú de biǎo qíng yě shì gè yì 。
每一条手臂，摆出的造型都是各不相同，九颗头颅的表情也是各异。
However, one thing was certain: this figure was incredibly powerful, far beyond ordinary cultivators' expectations.
dàn yǒu yì diǎn shì kěn dìng dì ， zhè fǎ xiàng qiáng dà yǐ jí ， yuǎn chāo pǔ tōng xiū shì de yù jì 。
但有一点是肯定地，这法相强大以极，远超普通修士的预计。
The Nine Heavens Divine Net Technique, ever-changing, had been practiced by Lin Xuan for a thousand years, reaching a small degree of perfection. It could defend itself without his active control.
jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng ， biàn huàn wú fāng ， lín xuān xiū liàn le qiān nián zhī jiǔ ， zǎo yǐ dào le xiǎo chéng de dì bù ， gēn běn bù yòng tā qū cè ， cǐ shén tōng zì jǐ jiù kě yǐ yù dí 。
九天神罗相，变幻无方，林轩修炼了千年之久，早已到了小成的地步，根本不用他驱策，此神通自己就可以御敌。
As the eighteen arms swung about, each held a powerful artifact, emitting radiant light and formidable power.
zhǐ jiàn shí bā tiáo shǒu bì shàng xià huī wǔ ， měi yī tiáo shǒu bì de zhǎng zhōng dū wò yǒu yī jiàn wēi lì bù fán de bǎo wù ， líng guāng sì shè ， kě pà de wēi néng suí zhī zhàn fàng ér chū 。
只见十八条手臂上下挥舞，每一条手臂的掌中都握有一件威力不凡的宝物，灵光四射，可怕的威能随之绽放而出。
Then, the nine heads opened their eyes, and to everyone's amazement, ancient incantations emerged from their mouths.
suí hòu ， jiǔ kē tóu lú de yǎn jīng yě fēn fēn yī zhēng ér kāi ， gèng bù kě sī yì de shì ， tā men de zuǐ bā zhōng 。 yǒu gǔ piáo de zhòu yǔ shēng chuán le chū lái 。
随后，九颗头颅的眼睛也纷纷一睁而开，更不可思议的是，他们的嘴巴中。有古朴的咒语声传了出来。
The power of the laws spread out as dazzling beams shot forth from the mouths of the heads.
fǎ zé zhī lì mí sàn ér chū ， cóng nà jiǔ kē tóu lú de zuǐ bā zhōng pēn chū yī dào dào yào mù de guāng zhù 。
法则之力弥散而出，从那九颗头颅的嘴巴中喷出一道道耀目的光柱。
...
……
……
With such an impressive display, even the Blood Moon Demon Toad couldn't afford to be complacent. Although it wanted to save Miao Yin, when faced with its own crisis, there was no need for consideration.
rú cǐ shēng shì ， xuè yuè mó chán zài xìn xīn shí zú ， yě bù gǎn děng xián shì zhī le 。
如此声势，血月魔蟾再信心十足，也不敢等闲视之了。
Cultivators were selfish, and True Spirits were no different.
suī rán tā yě xiǎng jiù miào yīn tuō xiǎn ， dàn dāng zì jǐ yě miàn lín wēi jī de shí hòu ， gāi rú hé xuǎn zé ， zé gēn běn bù yòng kǎo lǜ shén me 。
虽然它也想救妙音脱险，但当自己也面临危机的时候，该如何选择，则根本不用考虑什么。
It was impossible to ignore its safety and go rescue Miao Yin.
xiū xiān zhě shì zì sī zì lì de ， xiū shì rú cǐ ， zhēn líng yì rú shì 。
修仙者是自私自利的，修士如此，真灵亦如是。
Thus, the Blood Moon Demon Toad turned its head, focusing all its efforts on dealing with its current danger. This rendered its plan of围魏救赵 (wéi wěi jiù zhào) futile.
xiǎng ràng tā zhì zì jǐ de ān wēi yú bù gù 。 qù jiù yuán miào yīn xiān zi míng xiǎn shì bù kě néng de 。
想让它置自己的安危于不顾。去救援妙音仙子明显是不可能的。
Though the process seemed complex, it took only an instant for Lin Xuan to use every trick in his arsenal to neutralize the threat.
yú shì xuè yuè mó chán zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， xiān quán lì jiāng zì jǐ miàn lín de wēi jī yìng fù ， rú cǐ yī lái ， tā xiǎng yào wéi wèi jiù zhào de mù dì ， zì rán pò chǎn 。
于是血月魔蟾转过头颅，先全力将自己面临的危机应付，如此一来，它想要围魏救赵的目的，自然破产。
Fortunately, he succeeded.
zhěng gè guò chéng shuō lái fán fù 。 qí shí bù guò shùn xī de gōng fu ， ér lín xuān wèi le jiāng suǒ miàn lín de wēi jī jiě chú ， yě shī zhǎn chū le hún shēn xiè shù 。
整个过程说来繁复。其实不过瞬息的功夫，而林轩为了将所面临的危机解除，也施展出了浑身解数。
Lin Xuan wasn't about to miss such a good opportunity.
hǎo zài zǒng suàn shì qǐ dào le xiǎng yào de xiào guǒ 。
好在总算是起到了想要的效果。
---
ér zhè yàng de hǎo jī huì lín xuān zì rán bú huì cuò guò 。
而这样的好机会林轩自然不会错过。
Go all out!
pīn le ！
拼了！
This was his last chance. A determined look flashed across Lin Xuan's eyes as he poured all his malevolent energy into the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Technique.
shèng fù zài cǐ yī jǔ ， lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī jué jué zhī yì 。
胜负在此一举，林轩眼中闪过一丝决绝之意。
As he moved, the sword lights in the sky became even more dazzling and fell like rain, sweeping through the entire sky.
hún shēn shàng xià lì qì pēn bó ， jiāng suǒ yǒu de fǎ lì ， wǎng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zhōng zhù rù 。
浑身上下戾气喷薄，将所有的法力，往九宫须臾剑中注入。
Lin Xuan's unrestrained attack was incredibly powerful. Even at her peak, Miao Yin would have struggled to intercept it. Now that she couldn't gather any of her energy, this woman’s eyes showed a hint of despair.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， màn tiān de jiàn máng 。 biàn dé gèng jiā de yào yǎn duó mù ， fēn luò rú yǔ ， jiāng zhěng gè tiān mù dōu xí juǎn jìn qù 。
随着他的动作，漫天的剑芒。变得更加的耀眼夺目，纷落如雨，将整个天幕都席卷进去。
She had calculated everything but never imagined ending up like this.
lín xuān háo wú bǎo liú de yī jī ， wēi lì rú hé 。 zì rán bù yòng lèi shù ， jiù suàn shì miào yīn quán shèng zhī shí ， xiǎng yào jiē zhù ， yě yào fèi bù shǎo de bō zhé 。 gèng bú yào shuō cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā lián hún shēn de fǎ lì 。 dōu wú fǎ níng jù le 。
林轩毫无保留的一击，威力如何。自然不用累述，就算是妙音全盛之时，想要接住，也要费不少的波折。更不要说此时此刻，她连浑身的法力。都无法凝聚了。
"No..."
cǐ nǚ de yǎn zhōng ， yǐ shǎn guò yī sī jué wàng zhī sè 。
此女的眼中，已闪过一丝绝望之色。
Hatred filled her face, and the look of不甘 (bù gān) was deeply etched in her expression. However, it was too late; she couldn't change anything now.
suàn rén zhě ， rén yì suàn zhī ， tā zuò mèng yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào ， zì jǐ zuì hòu huì luò de guò zhè yàng yí gè jié jú 。
算人者，人亦算之，她做梦也没有想到，自己最后会落得过这样一个结局。
No matter how much she tried to explain, in the end, power spoke louder than words in the cultivation world.
“ bù ……”
“不……”
Blood splattered as this woman's body fell.
cǐ nǚ de liǎn shàng ， mǎn shì yuàn dú zhī yì ， ér bù gān de biǎo qíng ， gèng shì ràng rén yìn xiàng shēn kè yǐ jí ， rán ér méi yǒu yòng tú ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā yǐ shì huí tiān fá shù 。
此女的脸上，满是怨毒之意，而不甘的表情，更是让人印象深刻以极，然而没有用途，此时此刻，她已是回天乏术。
Woo...
zài duō de suàn jì yòu rú hé ， xiū xiān jiè guī gēn jié dǐ ， shì yǐ shí lì shuō huà de 。
再多的算计又如何，修仙界归根结底，是以实力说话的。
A buzzing sound resounded as the light array above his head reappeared. Silver light fell, and a beam of light drifted towards Miao Yin’s元婴 (yuán yīn).
zhǐ jiàn xuè yǔ fēi jiàn ér chū ， cǐ nǚ de ròu shēn yǐ jīng yǔn luò 。
只见血雨飞溅而出，此女的肉身已经陨落。
But Lin Xuan was faster.
wū ……
呜……
Seeing the two fall, he had anticipated this moment.
wēng míng shēng dà zuò ， tóu dǐng de guāng zhèn zài cì fú xiàn ér chū 。
嗡鸣声大做，头顶的光阵再次浮现而出。
Snow-white sword energy blocked the silver light.
yín huī sǎ luò ， yī piàn guāng xiá xiàng zhe miào yīn xiān zi de yuán yīng piāo guò lái le 。
银辉洒落，一片光霞像着妙音仙子的元婴飘过来了。
Above the元婴's head, greenish霞光 (xiá guāng) appeared and transformed into a giant hand. It grabbed down.
rán ér lín xuān de dòng zuò què yào gèng kuài yī bù 。
然而林轩的动作却要更快一步。
The元婴 tried to dodge but was too late.
jiàn le gāng gāng liǎng rén yǔn luò de qíng jǐng ， duì zhè yí mù ， tā zǎo jiù yǒu suǒ yù liào le 。
见了刚刚两人陨落的情景，对这一幕，他早就有所预料了。
Caught by the light hand.
zhǐ jiàn jiàn qì rú xuě ， jiāng nà yín sè de guāng xiá dǎng zhù 。
只见剑气如雪，将那银色的光霞挡住。
"Friend, please spare me... I am..."
ér nà yuán yīng de tóu dǐng ， què yǒu qīng sè de xiá guāng fú xiàn ér chū ， lüè yī zhuǎn zhé ， jiù huàn huà chū le yī zhī jù dà de guāng shǒu 。
而那元婴的头顶，却有青色的霞光浮现而出，略一转折，就幻化出了一只巨大的光手。
...
yī bǎ lāo xià 。
一把捞下。
Miao Yin was both shocked and angry, quickly changing her expression to one of pitiful desperation as she tried to explain. But Lin Xuan wasn't listening to her excuses.
nà yuán yīng xiǎng duǒ ， rán ér què míng xiǎn lái bù jí le 。
那元婴想躲，然而却明显来不及了。
Regardless of how eloquent she might be, he knew that she had attempted to assassinate him.
bèi guāng shǒu zhuā zhù 。
被光手抓住。
He directly performed soul extraction!
“ dào yǒu shǒu xià liú qíng ， qiè shēn ……”
“道友手下留情，妾身……”
Lin Xuan ignored the woman's persuasive arguments and used his mind probing technique.
……
……
After half a cup of tea, Lin Xuan’s face showed signs of contemplation.
miào yīn xiān zi yòu jīng yòu nù ， dàn liǎn shàng hěn kuài jiù biàn huà chū yī fù chǔ chǔ kě lián de biǎo qíng lái le ， xiǎng yào jiě shì shén me 。
妙音仙子又惊又怒，但脸上很快就变化出一副楚楚可怜的表情来了，想要解释什么。
Hard work pays off; he finally found some clues about Qinxin.
rán ér lín xuān nǎ lǐ huì tīng tā luō suo 。
然而林轩哪里会听她啰嗦。
...
duì fāng jiǎng dé tiān huā luàn zhuì yòu rú hé ， tā xiǎng yào àn suàn zì jǐ de shì shí dōu bú huì gǎi biàn shén me 。
对方讲得天花乱坠又如何，她想要暗算自己的事实都不会改变什么。
Lin Xuan pointed with a finger.
zhí jiē chōu hún liàn pò ！
直接抽魂炼魄！
The sword light returned, and the silver light enveloped Miao Yin's元婴. This time, there was no obstruction as it was swallowed by the array.
lín xuān bù tīng duì fāng qiǎo shé rú huáng de biàn bó ， shī zhǎn qǐ sōu hún zhī shù 。
林轩不听对方巧舌如簧的辩驳，施展起搜魂之术。
As they say, evil begets more evil. The trap she set for others ended up trapping her.
hěn kuài ， guò le bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī zhī sè 。
很快，过了半盏茶的功夫，林轩脸上露出若有所思之色。
Miao Yin regretted not acting differently, but now it was too late. All her calculations had made Lin Xuan’s victory possible, leading to her demise.
gōng fu bù fù yǒu xīn rén ， zǒng suàn zhī dào le qín xīn de xiàn suǒ 。
功夫不负有心人，总算知道了琴心的线索。
Only two survivors remained.
……
……
Lin Xuan slowly turned his head; the Blood Moon Demon Toad showed a highly anthropomorphized expression of alertness in its eyes.
suí hòu lín xuān shēn zhǐ yì diǎn 。
随后林轩伸指一点。
Originally, with this creature's proud nature, it wouldn't have considered a mere early-stage Tribulation Transcender as significant.
jiàn guāng huí luò ， yín sè de guāng xiá juǎn guò ， zhè yī cì zài méi yǒu zǔ gé ， miào yīn de yuán yīng bèi nà guāng zhèn tūn mò 。
剑光回落，银色的光霞卷过，这一次再没有阻隔，妙音的元婴被那光阵吞没。
However, after their intense battle, it clearly understood the situation. This young man wasn't an easy opponent; he far exceeded ordinary early-stage Tribulation Transcenders. A confrontation would likely result in more defeats than victories.
sú huà shuō ， è rén zì yǒu è rén mó ， zhè xiàn jǐng yuán běn shì tā zì jǐ shè xià lái de ， méi xiǎng dào zuì hòu ， què zì jǐ tūn shí le è guǒ 。
俗话说，恶人自有恶人磨，这陷阱原本是她自己设下来的，没想到最后，却自己吞食了恶果。
This wasn't self-deprecation but a reasonable assessment based on circumstances.
miào yīn huǐ bù dāng chū ， kě xiàn zài shuō shén me ， dōu wéi shí wǎn yǐ ， qiān bān suàn jì ， zuì hòu què wèi lín xuān zuò le jià yī ， zì jǐ là le yí gè shēn sǐ yǔn luò de jié jú 。
妙音悔不当初，可现在说什么，都为时晚矣，千般算计，最后却为林轩做了嫁衣，自己落了一个身死陨落的结局。
The Blood Moon Demon Toad was indeed ferocious and combative, but it valued its own life immensely. No one wanted to die.
rú jīn zhǐ shèng xià liǎng míng xìng cún zhě 。
如今只剩下两名幸存者。
As a True Spirit, it had experienced countless years far beyond ordinary cultivators, making it wise in such situations.
lín xuān huǎn huǎn zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， xuè yuè mó chán yǎn zhōng jí wèi nǐ rén huà de lù chū le jǐng tì zhī sè 。
林轩缓缓转过头颅，血月魔蟾眼中极为拟人化的露出了警惕之色。
Thus, it quickly tore through the void and fled without hesitation.
yuán běn yǐ zhè jiā huo jiāo ào de xìng gé ， shì bú huì jiāng yī míng qū qū dù jié chū qī de cún zài fàng zài yǎn zhōng 。
原本以这家伙骄傲的性格，是不会将一名区区渡劫初期的存在放在眼中。
Lin Xuan admired his decisiveness.
rán ér fán shì jiē yǒu lì wài ， jīng lì le gāng gāng de jī dòu ， tā zì rán jiāng xíng shì rén qīng chǔ ， zhè lín xiǎo zi kě bú shì shén me hǎo rě de rén wù ， yuǎn fēi pǔ tōng de dù jié chū qī cún zài kě yǐ bǐ nǐ ， yǔ tā duì shàng ， zì jǐ duō bàn yě shì bài duō shèng shǎo de jié jú 。
然而凡事皆有例外，经历了刚刚的激斗，它自然将形势人清楚，这林小子可不是什么好惹的人物，远非普通的渡劫初期存在可以比拟，与他对上，自己多半也是败多胜少的结局。
He hesitated briefly before not stopping him. Lin Xuan’s actions were well thought out.
zhè bìng fēi wàng zì fěi bó ， ér shì gēn jù xíng shì ， suǒ zuò chū de hé lǐ tuī cè 。
这并非妄自菲薄，而是根据形势，所作出的合理推测。
Firstly, this Blood Moon Demon Toad was even stronger than Miao Yin, and a one-on-one fight had its uncertainties. A single mistake could lead to defeat.
xuè yuè mó chán shì hěn xiōng cán hào dòu méi cuò ， dàn duì yú zì jǐ de xiǎo mìng ér ， nà yě shì wú bǐ zhēn xī de ， méi yǒu rén xiǎng yào yǔn luò 。
血月魔蟾是很凶残好斗没错，但对于自己的小命儿，那也是无比珍稀的，没有人想要陨落。
Secondly, knowing that absorbing the essence of three Tribulation Transcenders meant the True Immortal Relic would soon open, Lin Xuan didn’t want any complications.
ér tā zuò wèi zhēn líng zhī yī ， suǒ dù guò de suì yuè gèng shì màn cháng wú bǐ ， yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò le pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， yú zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， jīng yàn yě suàn fēng fù 。
而它做为真灵之一，所度过的岁月更是漫长无比，远远胜过了普通的修仙者，于这种情况，经验也算丰富。
