lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ，. yòu shī shū méng
林轩瞳孔微缩，.幼狮书盟
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted.
bù kuì shì dù jié hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ！
不愧是渡劫后期的老怪物！
Not to be underestimated, even by a late-stage劫境 veteran!
jīng chà zhī yú ， lín xuān dào yě bìng wú tuì suō zhī yì 。
惊诧之余，林轩倒也并无退缩之意。
Surprised but undeterred, Lin Xuan clenched his hands. "Swoosh, swoosh," the sound of flying swords filled his ears as the skyward sword lights vanished, replaced by a shimmering silver thread that was more eye-catching than before.
shuāng shǒu yī wò ，“ sōu sōu ” zhī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， màn tiān de jiàn guāng xiāo shī le ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì ， yī dào yín sī fú xiàn ér qǐ ， suī rán xiān xì yǐ jí ， dàn què gèng jiā de duó mù liàng lì 。
双手一握，“嗖嗖”之声传入耳朵，漫天的剑光消失了，取而代之的是，一道银丝浮现而起，虽然纤细以极，但却更加的夺目亮丽。
The silver light flickered continuously, more silver threads appearing, dazzling and covering the entire sky.
suí hòu yín máng shǎn dòng bù yǐ ， gèng duō de yín sè xì sī fú xiàn ér chū ， cuǐ càn yǐ jí ， jiāng zhěng gè tiān mù dōu zhē dǎng le qù 。
随后银芒闪动不已，更多的银sè细丝浮现而出，璀璨以极，将整个天幕都遮挡了去。
"Transforming swords into threads!"
“ huà jiàn wèi sī ！”
“化剑为丝！”
The Heavenly Sound Palace Master was momentarily stunned, showing an expression of admiration for the first time.
nà wèi tiān yīn gōng zhǔ yī dāi ， yě shǒu cì lù chū le dòng róng de biǎo qíng lái 。
那位天音宫主一呆，也首次露出了动容的表情来。
While this technique wasn't worth mentioning in terms of body cultivation, reaching such a level was rare even among the three realms.
cǐ shén tōng shēn bù zhí yī tí ， dàn xiū liàn dào zhè bān chéng dù ， fàng yǎn sān jiè ， nà yě shì qū zhǐ kě shǔ 。
此神通身不值一提，但修炼到这般程度，放眼三界，那也是屈指可数。
Each sword thread carried法则 power.
měi yī dào jiàn sī ， dōu dài yǒu fǎ zé zhī lì 。
每一道剑丝，都带有法则之力。
No wonder Miao Yin lost to him.
guài bù dé miào yīn huì shū zài tā de shǒu lǐ 。
怪不得妙音会输在他的手里。
"Quickly!"
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
Lin Xuan pointed his finger forward, and countless silver threads fell like a torrent.
lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū ， shǔ yǐ wàn jì de jiàn sī gǔn gǔn ér luò 。
林轩一指向前点出，数以万计的剑丝滚滚而落。
Not only in number but also in sharpness, they far surpassed the previous sword lights. The golden flying swords could no longer withstand it, breaking into two pieces with a "crack," then dissipating into starlight.
bù lùn shù liàng ， hái shì fēng lì dōu yuǎn fēi gāng cái de jiàn guāng kě bǐ ， nà xiē jīn sè de fēi jiàn zài yě dǐ dǎng bú zhù ，“ kā chā ” yī shēng bèi jié wèi liǎng duàn le ， suí hòu huà wèi diǎn diǎn xīng guāng ， xiāo sàn yú kōng qì 。
不论数量，还是锋利都远非刚才的剑光可比，那些金sè的飞剑再也抵挡不住，“咔嚓”一声被截为两断了，随后化为点点星光，消散于空气。
But the dragon and lion were not afraid, shaking their heads and tails as they charged forward, diving into the myriad silver threads.
rán ér nà jiāo lóng yǔ xióng shī què bìng bù wèi jù ， yáo tóu bǎi wěi de chōng le shàng lái 。
然而那蛟龙与雄狮却并不畏惧，摇头摆尾的冲了上来。
Their bodies were incredibly hard; while the Nine Palaces Musty Sword could wound them, completely annihilating them seemed impossible in an instant.
yī tóu jiù zhā jìn wàn qiān jiàn sī lǐ miàn 。
一头就扎进万千剑丝里面。
Damn it!
shēn qū jiān yìng wú bǐ ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn suī néng shāng jí ， dàn xiǎng yào jiāng qí miè shā ， yī shí piàn kè ， sì hū yě shì bàn bú dào dì 。
身躯坚硬无比，九宫须臾剑虽能伤及，但想要将其灭杀，一时片刻，似乎也是办不到地。
Lin Xuan's face turned even more ugly.
kě wù ！
可恶！
As the saying goes, a master reveals his hand and you know what he can do. The opponent was just testing their skills, not using real power, yet they managed to block his Nine Palaces Musty Sword. Even for a late-stage劫境 veteran, this was too outrageous?
lín xuān de liǎn sè yuè fā nàn kàn le 。
林轩的脸sè越发难看了。
Could it be that his estimation was wrong? Late-stage劫境 beings were actually so powerful?
sú huà shuō ， háng jia yī shēn shǒu ， jiù zhī yǒu méi yǒu 。
俗话说，行家一伸手，就知有没有。
Lin Xuan pondered.
duì fāng bù guò shì niú dāo xiǎo shì ， yòng méi yòng zhēn gōng fu hái bù qīng chǔ ， jū rán jiù néng jiāng zì jǐ de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn dǎng zhù ， jiù suàn shì dù jié hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， zhè yě wèi miǎn tài lí pǔ ？
对方不过是牛刀小试，用没用真功夫还不清楚，居然就能将自己的九宫须臾剑挡住，就算是渡劫后期的老怪物，这也未免太离谱？
But now recognizing this fact didn't help much.
nán dào shuō ， zì jǐ gū jì cuò wù ， dù jié hòu qī de cún zài 。 jū rán yǒu rú cǐ qiáng dà me ？
难道说，自己估计错误，渡劫后期的存在。居然有如此强大么？
Once an arrow is shot, there's no turning back. He couldn't abandon Qinxin and run away alone; even if the enemy was strong, he had to find a way out.
lín xuān xīn zhōng dí gū 。
林轩心中嘀咕。
He had to take a risk and stop hiding his true strength. Only by using先天 treasures and True Immortal left behind spirit talismans could he possibly gain a chance of survival.
rán ér xiàn zài rèn shí dào zhè yì diǎn ， sì hū yě méi yǒu duō dà de yòng chǔ 。
然而现在认识到这一点，似乎也没有多大的用处。
A determined look flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes. But before he could act, the girl spoke up: "Little guy, your techniques are indeed impressive. How about you take one strike from this fairy?"
kāi gōng méi yǒu huí tóu jiàn ， zì jǐ bù kě néng zhì qín xīn yú bù gù ， yí gè rén luò huāng ér táo de 。 dí rén zài qiáng ， yě yào xiǎng bàn fǎ shā chū yī tiáo xuè lù 。
开弓没有回头箭，自己不可能置琴心于不顾，一个人落荒而逃的。敌人再强，也要想办法杀出一条血路。
Her light laughter entered his ears, carrying an indescribable coldness.
pīn le ， bù néng zài cáng zhuō ， bì xū dòng yòng xiān tiān zhī wù 。 hái yǒu zhēn xiān liú xià lái de líng fú ， wéi yǒu zhè yàng ， cái yǒu kě néng bó dé yī xiàn shēng jī de 。
拼了，不能再藏拙，必须动用先天之物。还有真仙留下来的灵符，唯有这样，才有可能博得一线生机的。
She plucked her strings with delicate fingers, producing a sound of slaughter.
lín xuān de yǎn zhōng ， shǎn guò yī sī jué jué zhī sè。 méi xiǎng dào duì fāng ， què xiān dòng shǒu le 。
林轩的眼中，闪过一丝决绝之sè。没想到对方，却先动手了。
Lin Xuan felt dizzy as if the world was spinning.
“ xiǎo jiā huo ， nǐ shén tōng guǒ rán bù cuò 。 nà yě jiē xiān zi yī zhāo rú hé ？”
“小家伙，你神通果然不错。那也接仙子一招如何？”
"Bad luck!"
shào nǚ qīng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。 què dài zhe yī gǔ shuō bù chū lái de lěng liè zhī sè。
少女轻笑的声音传入耳朵。却带着一股说不出来的冷冽之sè。
In panic, Lin Xuan took deep breaths, and his essence energy flowed through his meridians.
suí hòu tā yù zhǐ ruò lán ， bō dòng qín xián 。
随后她玉指若兰，拨动琴弦。
The dizziness dissipated, but when he looked up, everything had drastically changed. He found himself in an endless plain of grassland.
zhēng zhēng zhēng ……
铮铮铮……
Everything around him was grayish.
jū rán yǒu shā fá zhī shēng fú xiàn 。
居然有杀伐之声浮现。
Qinxin was nowhere to be seen, along with the Heavenly Sound Palace Master and other cultivators.
suí hòu lín xuān zhǐ jué tiān xuán dì zhuàn ， yī gǔ xuàn yūn de gǎn jué xí rù xīn tián 。
随后林轩只觉天旋地转，一股眩晕的感觉袭入心田。
"An illusion!"
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he realized he had fallen into the opponent's trap.
lín xuān dà jīng zhī xià ， máng shēn shēn hū xī ， tǐ nèi líng lì shùn zhe jīng mài liú zhuǎn bù yǐ 。
林轩大惊之下，忙深深呼吸，体内灵力顺着经脉流转不已。
"To confine me like this is truly a case of a master showing his skills in front of another master!"
nà xuàn yūn de gǎn jué zhè cái xiāo sàn ， kě děng tā tái qǐ tóu lú ， què fā xiàn yǎn qián de jǐng wù 。 yǐ shì zhòu rán dà biàn 。
那眩晕的感觉这才消散，可等他抬起头颅，却发现眼前的景物。已是骤然大变。
A cold smile appeared on Lin Xuan's face. If it were any other technique, he might have to exert considerable effort to counter it, but countering illusions was something he was quite familiar with.
zì jǐ jū rán chū xiàn zài le yí wàng wú jì de cǎo yuán 。
自己居然出现在了一望无际的草原。
Lin Xuan raised his right hand, ready to strike forward.
sì zhōu què shì huī méng méng de yī piàn 。
四周却是灰蒙蒙的一片。
But just then, "swoosh" sounds filled the air as if countless arrows were being shot from powerful bows and crossbows towards him.
qín xīn bù zhī qù le nǎ lǐ ， bāo kuò tiān yīn gōng zhǔ zài nèi de xiū shì yě liǎo wú zōng jì 。
琴心不知去了哪里，包括天音宫主在内的修士也了无踪迹。
Lin Xuan was taken aback. There wasn't even time to look up now.
“ huàn shù ！”
“幻术！”
He moved his right hand forward, creating a crack in space without any human touch.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， lì kè què dìng ， zì jǐ shì zhuì rù le duì fāng de xiàn jǐng lǐ 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，立刻确定，自己是坠入了对方的陷阱里。
A long crack appeared, black inside with no bottom in sight. Lin Xuan hesitated not and flew into it.
“ xiàng jiāng zì jǐ de kùn zhù ， zhēn shì bān mén nòng fǔ ！”
“像将自己的困住，真是班门弄斧！”
The crack vanished, but black light rained down, piercing the sky. If he had been even slightly slower, he would have been pierced through.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī lǚ lěng xiào zhī sè， ruò shì bié de shén tōng ， tā xiǎng yào duì fù ， huò xǔ hái yào pǒ fèi yī fān gōng fu ， dàn huà jiě huàn shù ， què zhèng hǎo shì jià qīng jiù shú 。
林轩嘴角边流露出一缕冷笑之sè，若是别的神通，他想要对付，或许还要颇费一番功夫，但化解幻术，却正好是驾轻就熟。
Those were black bone spines, a foot or so long, incredibly sharp, with impressive power.
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， jiù yào yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
林轩右手抬起，就要一指向前点去。
...
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ，“ sōu sōu ” de pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jiù rú tóng wàn qiān jiàn shǐ ， bèi qiáng gōng yìng nǔ fā shè， cháo zhe zhè biān zǎn shè。
然而就在这时，“嗖嗖”的破空声传入耳朵，就如同万千箭矢，被强弓硬弩发shè，朝着这边攒shè。
Suddenly, spatial fluctuations arose, and Lin Xuan appeared several hundred feet away.
lín xuān dà jīng shī sè， zhè shí hòu ， shèn zhì yǐ jīng lái bù jí tái qǐ tóu lú qù chá kàn le 。
林轩大惊失sè，这时候，甚至已经来不及抬起头颅去查看了。
But before he could stabilize himself, countless vines extended from the ground, living-like, tightly binding him.
yòu shǒu shùn shì xiàng qián huà chū ， bù dài fēn háo rén jiān yān huǒ ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， yī tiáo kōng jiān liè fèng què fú xiàn ér chū 。
右手顺势向前划出，不带分毫人间烟火，随着他的动作，一条空间裂缝却浮现而出。
"What...?"
cī lā ……
刺啦……
Lin Xuan was speechless. The illusion resembled the legendary realm in some ways.
zhǎng zhàng yú ， lǐ miàn hēi yǒu yǒu de shēn bú jiàn dǐ ， lín xuān què háo bù yóu yù de shǎn shēn fēi le jìn qù 。
长丈余，里面黑黝黝的深不见底，林轩却毫不犹豫的闪身飞了进去。
The opponent could transform various magical treasures into monsters for his use.
suí hòu kōng jiān liè fèng xiāo shī ， xià yī kè ， hēi máng rú yǔ ， huà pò tiān jì ， lín xuān ruò shì màn shàng yī bù ， kǒng pà jiù huì bèi dòng chuān diào le 。
随后空间裂缝消失，下一刻，黑芒如雨，划破天际，林轩若是慢上一步，恐怕就会被洞穿掉了。
Fortunately, it wasn't a true domain but still very troublesome.
nà shì hēi sè de gǔ cì ， zhǎng chǐ xǔ ， fēng ruì yǐ jí ， yǒu zhe lìng rén cè mù de wēi lì 。
那是黑sè的骨刺，长尺许，锋锐以极，有着令人侧目的威力。
On one side, he was bound by vines; on another, countless ugly-looking creatures emerged.
……
……
These creatures were several dozen feet tall and hideously ugly.
xià yī kè ， kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ ， lín xuān chū xiàn zài le qiān yú zhàng yuǎn chù 。
下一刻，空间波动骤起，林轩出现在了千余丈远处。
Sharp bone spines grew from their backs.
rán ér tā hái méi yǒu zhàn wěn jiǎo bù ， wú shù màn téng yóu dì shàng yán zhǎn ér chū ， páng rú huó wù ， yī xià zi jiāng lín xuān gěi láo láo kǔn zhù 。
然而他还没有站稳脚步，无数蔓藤由地上延展而出，彷如活物，一下子将林轩给牢牢捆住。
Bending slightly forward, they launched attacks like arrows shot from powerful bows and crossbows, coming from all directions.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
This time, Lin Xuan had no place to hide!
lín xuān chēng mù jié shé ， yǎn qián de huàn jìng dào yǔ chuán shuō zhōng de lǐng yù yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù 。
林轩瞠目结舌，眼前的幻境倒与传说中的领域有几分相似之处。
Such an attack was perilous indeed.
duì fāng jìng néng gòu biàn huà chū gè zhǒng fǎ bǎo guài wù ， wèi zì jǐ suǒ yòng 。
对方竟能够变化出各种法宝怪物，为自己所用。
If hit hard enough, he might fall in death.
hǎo zài yě zhǐ shì xiāng sì ér yǐ ， bìng fēi zhēn zhèng de lǐng yù 。
好在也只是相似而已，并非真正的领域。
But the vines were incredibly tough; even with his force法则, it took a while for him to break free.
dàn yě nán chán yǐ jí 。
但也难缠以极。
What should he do?
zhè biān ， tā cái bèi màn téng láo láo chán zhù ， lìng wài yī biān ， wú shù xíng mào chǒu lòu de guài wù fú xiàn ér chū 。
这边，他才被蔓藤牢牢缠住，另外一边，无数形貌丑陋的怪物浮现而出。
Lin Xuan didn't want to die here. A determined look appeared in his eyes.
zhè xiē guài wù shēn gāo shù zhàng yǒu yú ， yí gè gè chǒu lòu wú bǐ 。
这些怪物身高数丈有余，一个个丑陋无比。
He opened his mouth and spat out a greenish aura.
tā men de bèi shàng zhǎng zhe wú shù jiān ruì de gǔ cì 。
他们的背上长着无数尖锐的骨刺。
The green aura quickly spread, creating another Lin Xuan before him, slightly darker-skinned than the original.
wēi wēi dī xià tou lú ， zuò le yí gè bàn dūn de dòng zuò ， suí hòu pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà xiē gǔ cì rú tóng bèi qiáng gōng yìng nǔ fā shè， cóng sì miàn bā fāng xiàng tā jī shè guò lái le 。
微微低下头颅，做了一个半蹲的动作，随后破空声传入耳朵，那些骨刺如同被强弓硬弩发shè，从四面八方像他激shè过来了。
A corporeal manifestation!
zhè yī cì ， lín xuān duǒ wú kě duǒ ！
这一次，林轩躲无可躲！
But his cultivation was only at the 分神 stage; facing such a storm of attacks, it wouldn't be easy to handle them all.
ér zhè yàng de gōng jī ， wú yí wēi xiǎn dào jí chù 。
而这样的攻击，无疑危险到极处。
However, the manifestation showed no fear.
ruò shì āi dé shí le ， lín xuān yì yǒu kě néng yǔn luò 。
若是挨得实了，林轩亦有可能陨落。
It stretched out its hand and tapped on the storage bag on his body, then unfolded its sleeves.
kě nà màn téng jiān rèn dào jí chù ， jí biàn lín xuān shī zhǎn chū lì liàng fǎ zé ， yī shí piàn kè ， jìng yě wú fǎ zhèng tuō 。
可那蔓藤坚韧到极处，即便林轩施展出力量法则，一时片刻，竟也无法挣脱。
As he moved, light shone brightly.
gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
该怎么办呢？
Five-colored glass appeared in his vision—numerous protective barriers of various sizes.
lín xuān dāng rán bù yuàn yì sǐ zài zhè lǐ ， tā de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī jué jué zhī yì 。
林轩当然不愿意死在这里，他的眼中闪过一丝决绝之意。
Despite his improved strength, Lin Xuan hadn't forgotten old habits; he had stored many high-level talismans for emergencies.
yī zhāng kǒu ， yī dào qīng xiá pēn tǔ 。
一张口，一道青霞喷吐。
But opportunities to use them were rare now.
suí hòu nà qīng xiá xùn sù yán zhǎn ér chū 。
随后那青霞迅速延展而出。
Yet at this moment, they proved invaluable.
suí hòu lìng yí gè lín xuān jū rán chū xiàn yú yǎn lián ， yǔ tǐ xiāng bǐ ， bù guò shì pí fū shāo wēi yǒu hēi shàng le yì diǎn 。
随后另一个林轩居然出现于眼帘，与体相比，不过是皮肤稍微黝黑上了一点。
"Crack, crack, crack," the impact sounds echoed as if raindrops hitting banana leaves. In just one round, countless barriers shattered.
shēn wài huà shēn ！
身外化身！
But this gave Lin Xuan precious time.
bù guò tā de xiū wèi jǐn jǐn fēn shén ér yǐ ， miàn duì zhè jí fēng zhòu yǔ bān de gōng jī ， xiǎng yào yìng fù guò qù ， bìng bù róng yì 。
不过他的修为仅仅分神而已，面对这疾风骤雨般的攻击，想要应付过去，并不容易。
In a battle between experts, every millimeter counted. Those vines were indeed formidable but couldn't truly confine him.
dàn huà shēn què bìng méi yǒu jù yì 。
但化身却并没有惧意。
"Ho!"
shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài tǐ de chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， suí hòu xiù páo yī zhǎn 。
伸出手来，在体的储物袋上一拍，随后袖袍一展。
He raised his head and roared, releasing 法则 energy wildly.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， zhǐ jiàn líng guāng dà zuò 。
随着他的动作，只见灵光大做。
Force法则!
wǔ sè liú lí ， wú shù dà dà xiǎo xiǎo de hù zhào chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
五sè琉璃，无数大大小小的护罩出现在了视线里。
The tough vines finally cracked and broke apart.
lín xuān de shí lì ， suī jīn fēi xī bǐ 。
林轩的实力，虽今非昔比。
Lin Xuan was freed.
dàn yǐ qián de xí guàn ， què bìng wèi wàng jì ， sōu luó le bù shǎo gāo jiē de fú lù zài chǔ wù dài lǐ ， yǐ bèi bù shí zhī xū 。
但以前的习惯，却并未忘记，搜罗了不少高阶的符箓在储物袋里，以备不时之需。
"Break it for me!"
bù guò yòng dào de jī huì yǐ shì bù duō 。
不过用到的机会已是不多。
With a wave of his sleeves, countless sword lights surged forward, decapitating the terrifying creatures. But there were no bodies; they dissipated into nothingness.
rán ér zài cǐ shí cǐ kè ， què qǐ dào le huà fǔ xiǔ wéi shén qí de xiào guǒ 。
然而在此时此刻，却起到了化腐朽为神奇的效果。
PS: Seeking recommendation votes, thank you all for your support! If you have any monthly tickets, please consider voting as well!
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted.
Not to be underestimated, even by a late-stage劫境 veteran!
Surprised but undeterred, Lin Xuan clenched his hands. "Swoosh, swoosh," the sound of flying swords filled his ears as the skyward sword lights vanished, replaced by a shimmering silver thread that was more eye-catching than before.
The silver light flickered continuously, more silver threads appearing, dazzling and covering the entire sky.
"Transforming swords into threads!"
The Heavenly Sound Palace Master was momentarily stunned, showing an expression of admiration for the first time.
While this technique wasn't worth mentioning in terms of body cultivation, reaching such a level was rare even among the three realms.

Lin Xuan pointed his finger forward, and countless silver threads fell like a torrent.
Not only in number but also in sharpness, they far surpassed the previous sword lights. The golden flying swords could no longer withstand it, breaking into two pieces with a "crack," then dissipating into starlight.
