dào xī liáng qì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。.
倒吸凉气的声音传入耳朵。.
The sound of a gasp for cold air entered everyone's ears.
zài chǎng de xiū shì wú bù chēng mù jié shé 。
在场的修士无不瞠目结舌。
All the cultivators present were left speechless.
háng jia yī shēn shǒu ， jiù zhī yǒu méi yǒu 。
行家一伸手，就知有没有。
A true master can tell at first glance. The烈风五行阵, renowned far and wide, was actually so easily broken by the冯氏双魔.
liè fēng wǔ xíng zhèn kě shì wēi míng hè hè ， jū rán zhè me qīng yì jiù bèi féng shì shuāng mó pò chú 。
烈风五行阵可是威名赫赫，居然这么轻易就被冯氏双魔破除。
Everyone once again felt the terrifying power of this brother-sister duo.
dà jiā zài cì tǐ huì dào le zhè duì xiōng mèi de kě pà zhī chù 。
大家再次体会到了这对兄妹的可怕之处。
The saying "a name without a match" best described them.
shèng míng zhī xià wú xū shì shì zuì hǎo de quán shì yǔ xíng róng 。
盛名之下无虚士是最好的诠释与形容。
Originally, there were many ghostly spirits and evil entities in the chaos, hoping to take advantage of the confusion.
yuán běn jiàn chǎng miàn luàn zuò yī guō zhōu ， xiǎng yào hún shuǐ mō yú de yīn hún guǐ wù bù zài shǎo shù 。
原本见场面乱做一锅粥，想要浑水摸鱼的阴魂鬼物不在少数。
But now, one by one, they fell silent.
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yí gè gè ， què yǎn qí xī gǔ 。
然而此时此刻，一个个，却偃旗息鼓。
That merchant alliance elder was no weakling either, yet he inexplicably lost his head, not even escaping with an元婴.
nà wèi shāng méng zhǎng lǎo yě fēi ruò zhě ， què mò míng qí miào jiù bèi qǔ xià le tóu lú ， lián yuán yīng dōu méi yǒu táo tuō 。
那位商盟长老也非弱者，却莫名其妙就被取下了头颅，连元婴都没有逃脱。
The lesson from before was still fresh. With such a glorious record on display, who would dare to provoke the冯氏双魔?
qián chē zhī jiàn bù yuǎn ， yǒu zhè me xiǎn hè de zhàn jì ， bǎi zài dà jiā de miàn qián ， chú le nǎo dài yǒu wèn tí ， shuí hái huì qù lǚ féng shì shuāng mó de hǔ xū ？
前车之鉴不远，有这么显赫的战绩，摆在大家的面前，除了脑袋有问题，谁还会去捋冯氏双魔的虎须？
After all, that copper cauldron was indeed tempting, but even the best treasures had to be used by someone alive.
yào zhī dào ， nà tóng lú suī rán lìng rén yǎn chán yǐ jí ， dàn zài hǎo de bǎo wù ， yě yào yǒu mìng xiǎng yòng cái kě yǐ 。
要知道，那铜炉虽然令人眼馋以极，但再好的宝物，也要有命享用才可以。
It seemed no one wanted to provoke such a formidable enemy.
kàn qǐ lái ， sì hū méi yǒu rén yuàn yì zhāo rě zhè yàng de dà dí 。
看起来，似乎没有人愿意招惹这样的大敌。
The冯氏兄妹 reached their goal. At least now, they could leave safely.
féng jiā xiōng mèi liǎ yě dá dào le mù dì ， zhì shǎo xiàn zài ， kě yǐ píng ān lí kāi zhè lǐ 。
冯家兄妹俩也达到了目的，至少现在，可以平安离开这里。
Though they were bold and daring individuals, they didn't want to linger in this place of是非. Wrapped in dense阴气, they flew through the split passage like it was nothing.
liǎng rén suī shì dǎn dà bāo tiān de rén wù ， dàn yě bù xiǎng zài zhè shì fēi zhī dì duō zuò dān gē ， hún shēn bèi nóng mì de yīn qì bāo guǒ ， biàn xiàng nà liè kāi de tōng dào fēi guò qù le 。
两人虽是胆大包天的人物，但也不想在这是非之地多做耽搁，浑身被浓密的阴气包裹，便像那裂开的通道飞过去了。
It seemed that matter had come to an end.
cǐ shì zhì cǐ ， sì hū yǐ jīng gào yí duàn luò 。
此事至此，似乎已经告一段落。
But just as things settled down, a surprising turn occurred.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， lìng rén yì wài de biàn gù fā shēng le 。
然而就在这时，令人意外的变故发生了。
Several分神 cultivators surrounded the passage.
zài nà tōng dào sì zhōu ， yǒu shù míng fèn shén jí bié de xiū xiān zhě 。
在那通道四周，有数名分神级别的修仙者。
Such power could be considered formidable elsewhere, but in the eyes of the冯氏兄妹, they were insignificant, small as ants.
zhè yàng de shí lì ， ruò shì ná dào bié chù ， gù rán yě kě yǐ suàn shì yī fāng qiáng zhě ， rán ér zài féng shì xiōng mèi de yǎn lǐ ， zì rán shì bù zhí yī tí ， miǎo xiǎo dé yǒu rú lóu yǐ 。
这样的实力，若是拿到别处，固然也可以算是一方强者，然而在冯氏兄妹的眼里，自然是不值一提，渺小得有如蝼蚁。
Moreover, all lowered their heads with fear on their faces.
hé kuàng tā men jiē dī xià tou lú ， liǎn shàng dài zhe jīng jì 。
何况他们皆低下头颅，脸上带着惊悸。
These timid fellows wouldn't even catch the attention of the冯氏双魔.
rú cǐ dǎn xiǎo de jiā huo ， shuāng mó zì rán jiù gèng bú huì fàng zài yǎn lǐ le 。
如此胆小的家伙，双魔自然就更不会放在眼里了。
Yet these unremarkable ghostly spirits suddenly attacked.
rán ér piān piān jiù shì zhè jǐ gè bù yǐn rén zhù mù dì yīn hún guǐ wù ， fā dòng le jìn gōng 。
然而偏偏就是这几个不引人注目的阴魂鬼物，发动了进攻。
Just as the冯氏兄妹 were about to enter the passage, several分神期阴魂 without warning pounced forward.
yǎn kàn féng shì xiōng mèi jiù yào jìn rù tōng dào lǐ ， nà jǐ míng fèn shén qī de yīn hún háo wú zhēng zhào de pū le guò qù 。
眼看冯氏兄妹就要进入通道里，那几名分神期的阴魂毫无征兆的扑了过去。
Their actions were swift and without hesitation!
dòng zuò xùn jí ， bù dài yì diǎn yóu yù ！
动作迅疾，不带一点犹豫！
"Die!"
“ zhǎo sǐ ！”
“找死！”
The冯氏双魔 roared in anger. How dare such insignificant creatures challenge them?
shuāng mó dà nù ， qū qū lóu yǐ yě gǎn xiàng tā men tiǎo zhàn me ？
双魔大怒，区区蝼蚁也敢像他们挑战么？
A hiss filled the air as the Ten Thousand Year Corpse King's sleeves flapped, releasing sharp claws. The woman's face remained calm, but her hand moved, revealing eerie bloodlight.
sī hǒu shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， wàn nián shī wáng xiù páo yī fú ， chī chī de zhǎo máng dà zuò ， ér nà nǚ zǐ de liǎn shàng ， yī jiù guà zhe xiào róng ， rán ér yù shǒu huī dòng jiān ， yǐ yǒu yāo yì de xuè guāng fú xiàn ér chū 。
嘶吼声传入耳朵，万年尸王袖袍一拂，嗤嗤的爪芒大做，而那女子的脸上，依旧挂着笑容，然而玉手挥动间，已有妖异的血光浮现而出。
Eagles strike at rabbits with all their might!
cāng yīng bó tù ， yì yòng quán lì ！
苍鹰博兔，亦用全力！
The冯氏双魔 never underestimated any enemy, regardless of their cultivation level.
féng shì shuāng mó ， bù guǎn dí rén xiū wèi shì shén me ， dōu jué méi yǒu dà yì qīng dí yī shuō 。
冯氏双魔，不管敌人修为是什么，都绝没有大意轻敌一说。
Both attacked simultaneously, and the unwise ghostly spirits were destined to perish.
liǎng rén tóng shí chū shǒu ， nà jǐ míng bù zhī tiān gāo dì hòu de yīn hún guǐ wù ， yǐ zhù dìng yǔn luò 。
两人同时出手，那几名不知天高地厚的阴魂鬼物，已注定陨落。
These few分神期 cultivators dared challenge the冯氏双魔. They were clearly reckless.
qū qū jǐ míng fèn shén qī cún zài ， yě gǎn tiǎo zhàn féng shì shuāng mó ， jiǎn zhí shì bù zhī sǐ huó 。
区区几名分神期存在，也敢挑战冯氏双魔，简直是不知死活。
Almost everyone thought so.
jī hū suǒ yǒu rén dōu shì zhè me yǐ wéi de 。
几乎所有人都是这么以为的。
But there was an exception—Lin Xuan or Tian Xiao!
rán ér yě yǒu lì wài zhě 。
然而也有例外者。
Their thoughts differed.
bǐ rú shuō lín xuān 。
比如说林轩。
If they didn't have confidence, why would these few分神期 cultivators risk their lives?
zài huò zhě tián xiǎo jiàn ！
再或者田小剑！
Sure enough, their ultimate moves appeared!
liǎng rén de xiǎng fǎ jiù bù tóng 。
两人的想法就不同。
Not extraordinary treasures nor terrifying secret techniques, but the simplest and most direct attacks. Several people acted in unison, detonating their元婴s!
ruò méi yǒu bǎ wò ， zhè jǐ míng fèn shén qī xiū shì qǐ huì yòng xìng mìng qù mào xiǎn ！
若没有把握，这几名分神期修士岂会用姓命去冒险！
Boom!
guǒ rán ， tā men de jué zhāo chū xiàn ！
果然，他们的绝招出现！
Although only at the 分神 stage, the power of such a sacrifice was astonishing. The冯氏双魔 were caught off guard, showing fear on their faces.
bìng fēi liǎo bù qǐ de bǎo wù ， yě fēi ràng rén wèi jù de mì shù ， ér shì zuì jiǎn dān zuì zhí jiē de zhāo shù ， jǐ gè rén bù móu ér hé ， yì qǐ jiāng yuán yīng zì bào diào le ！
并非了不起的宝物，也非让人畏惧的秘术，而是最简单最直接的招数，几个人不谋而合，一起将元婴自爆掉了！
The timing was perfect for the opponent. They had no time to dodge or use defensive treasures.
suī rán zhǐ shì fēn shén qī ， dàn jǐ rén jì rán gǎn jiāng xìng mìng pīn jìn qù ， nà wēi lì zì rán shì lìng rén zé shé ， féng shì shuāng mó cù bù jí fáng zhī xià ， liǎn shàng yě lù chū le kǒng jù zhī sè 。
虽然只是分神期，但几人既然敢将姓命拼进去，那威力自然是令人咋舌，冯氏双魔猝不及防之下，脸上也露出了恐惧之色。
A deafening explosion echoed as the brother and sister were completely engulfed by its terrifying might.
duì fāng de shí jī ná niē dé qià hǎo chù ， tā men gēn běn méi yǒu shí jiān qù duǒ ， gèng bú yào shuō jì chū fáng yù de bǎo wù 。
对方的时机拿捏得恰好处，他们根本没有时间去躲，更不要说祭出防御的宝物。
Such a turn of events left everyone speechless.
hōng ！
轰！
The cultivation world truly had many dangers. Even formidable figures like the冯氏双魔 could be outsmarted.
jīng tiān dòng dì de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， xiōng mèi liǎng rén wán quán bèi kě pà de wēi néng tūn mò 。
惊天动地的爆裂声传入耳朵，兄妹两人完全被可怕的威能吞没。
Though they got the copper cauldron, it was clear that someone was playing a game of "the mantis catching cicadas, unaware of the oriole behind."
rú cǐ biàn gù ， shí zài shì ràng rén zé shé 。
如此变故，实在是让人咋舌。
Who would emerge victorious? Who was the mastermind behind this ambush?
xiū xiān jiè guǒ rán shì bù bù jīng jí ， qiáng rú féng shì shuāng mó ， yí bù xiǎo xīn ， yì bèi rén suàn jì le jìn qù 。
修仙界果然是步步荆棘，强如冯氏双魔，一不小心，亦被人算计了进去。
Lin Xuan didn't know. He remained passive as he still had no idea about the value of the copper cauldron.
suī rán tā men qiǎng dào le tóng lú ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， míng xiǎn yǒu rén zài wán táng láng bǔ chán huáng què zài hòu de bǎ xì le 。
虽然他们抢到了铜炉，但此时此刻，明显有人在玩螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后的把戏了。
Though it seemed extremely precious, without knowing its purpose, risking his life for it wasn't worth it.
jiū jìng shuí huì shì xiào dào zuì hòu de shèng lì zhě ， tōu xí tā men de mù hòu zhǔ shǐ zhī rén yòu huì shì shuí ne ？
究竟谁会是笑到最后的胜利者，偷袭他们的幕后主使之人又会是谁呢？
He decided to wait and see.
lín xuān yì bù xiǎo de ， shì dào rú jīn tā yī jiù shén me yě méi yǒu zuò ， yīn wèi nà tóng lú de jià zhí lín xuān bìng bù xiǎo de 。
林轩亦不晓得，事到如今他依旧什么也没有做，因为那铜炉的价值林轩并不晓得。
A sinister chuckle filled the air.
suī rán néng cāi dào shì jí zhēn guì de bǎo wù ， dàn zài nòng qīng chǔ qí yòng tú yǐ qián ， yǐ shēn fàn xiǎn míng xiǎn bù zhí dé 。
虽然能猜到是极珍贵的宝物，但在弄清楚其用途以前，以身犯险明显不值得。
Then a gray-white light flashed up, rushing towards the冯氏双魔.
xiān děng děng zài shuō 。
先等等再说。
Lin Xuan couldn’t miss such excitement. With the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye activated, he clearly saw the figure in that light.
yī yīn cè cè de xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
一阴测测的笑声传入耳朵。
It was an old man with a slender build, his face full of cunning, looking ordinary, likely at the洞玄 stage!
suí hòu biàn jiàn yī dào huī bái sè de dùn guāng téng kōng ér qǐ ， xiàng zhe féng shì shuāng mó pū le guò qù 。
随后便见一道灰白色的遁光腾空而起，像着冯氏双魔扑了过去。
No, it was a deception; he concealed his strength.
zhè yàng de rè nào ， lín xuān qǐ huì cuò guò ， yǐ rán shī zhǎn tiān fèng shén mù ， jiāng nà huī bái dùn guāng zhōng de rén yǐng kàn qīng chǔ 。
这样的热闹，林轩岂会错过，已然施展天凤神目，将那灰白遁光中的人影看清楚。
This fellow was undoubtedly a渡劫 cultivator.
nà shì yī shēn cái shòu xiǎo de lǎo zhě ， mǎn liǎn jiān huá zhī sè ， róng mào píng fán yǐ jí ， xiū wèi dà yuē zài dòng xuán qī ！
那是一身材瘦小的老者，满脸歼猾之色，容貌平凡以极，修为大约在洞玄期！
The recent events were most likely his doing. He wanted to take advantage again.
bú duì ， dòng xuán shì tā yǐn cáng le shí lì 。
不对，洞玄是他隐藏了实力。
Though the process seemed complex, in an instant, he rushed close.
zhè jiā huo ， yě jué duì shì rú jiǎ bāo huàn de dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě 。
这家伙，也绝对是如假包换的渡劫期修仙者。
The explosion's remnants hadn't dissipated yet, but they were mere gales that meant nothing to a veteran cultivator.
gāng gāng de biàn gù ， duō bàn jiù shì tā de shǒu bǐ ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， gèng xiǎng yào hún shuǐ mō yú 。
刚刚的变故，多半就是他的手笔，此时此刻，更想要浑水摸鱼。
No matter how formidable the冯氏双魔 were, outsmarting them was the smartest move.
zhěng gè guò chéng shuō lái fán fù ， bù guò shùn xī de gōng fu ， tā yǐ chōng dào le jìn chù 。
整个过程说来繁复，不过瞬息的功夫，他已冲到了近处。
They had worked hard for this treasure, only for it to become their own.
bào zhà de yú bō shàng wèi sàn qù ， dàn jǐn jǐn shì yī xiē gāng fēng ér yǐ ， duì dù jié qī lǎo guài ， bù zhí yī tí 。
爆炸的余波尚未散去，但仅仅是一些罡风而已，对渡劫期老怪，不值一提。
He was confident!
féng shì shuāng mó zài lì hài yòu rú hé ， shàng bīng fá móu cái shì zuì cōng míng de 。
冯氏双魔再厉害又如何，上兵伐谋才是最聪明的。
But just then, another turn occurred.
tā men fèi jǐn xīn kǔ ， zhè qián wǎng míng hé zhī dì de bǎo bèi ， què huì chéng wéi zì jǐ de náng zhōng wù 。
他们费尽辛苦，这前往冥河之地的宝贝，却会成为自己的囊中物。
Roar!
tā xìn xīn shí zú ！
他信心十足！
A roar filled the air, mixed with pain and anger.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， què yòu fā shēng le biàn gù 。
然而就在这时，却又发生了变故。
The voice sounded hoarse but familiar—indeed, it was the brother of the冯氏双魔.
hǒu ！
吼！
Ten Thousand Year Corpse!
páo xiāo shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lǐ miàn jiā zá zhe tòng kǔ yǔ fèn nù 。
咆哮声传入耳朵，里面夹杂着痛苦与愤怒。
Even he had been injured in the explosion, but not fatally.
nà shēng yīn tīng lái yǒu xiē sī yǎ ， què shì wú bǐ de ěr shú ， zhèng shì féng shì shuāng mó zhōng de gē gē 。
那声音听来有些嘶哑，却是无比的耳熟，正是冯氏双魔中的哥哥。
With a roar, the entire structure collapsed. The烈风五行阵, already riddled with cracks, vanished entirely.
wàn nián shī mó ！
万年尸魔！
The remnants of the explosion hadn't fully dissipated when the sky turned dark and stormy, the thick阴气 becoming even more dense.
qiáng rú tā ， yě zài gāng cái de bào zhà zhōng shòu shāng le 。
强如他，也在刚才的爆炸中受伤了。
"Rat, daring to ambush me! I will tear your soul and body apart!"
bù guò bìng wèi yǔn luò 。
不过并未陨落。
The Corpse King's roar grew even more凄厉. Dark ghostly claws over ten feet long emerged from the阴气.
bàn suí zhe yī shēng sī hǒu ， zhěng gè jiàn zhù dōu tān tā diào le ， liè fēng wǔ xíng zhèn yuán běn yǐ liè wén biàn bù ， cǐ kè ， gèng shì zhěng gè huà wèi le xū wú 。
伴随着一声嘶吼，整个建筑都坍塌掉了，烈风五行阵原本已裂纹遍布，此刻，更是整个化为了虚无。
These claws were wrapped in greenish phosphorus flames, appearing mysterious and eerie.
bào zhà de yú bō shàng wèi wán quán sàn kāi ， tiān kōng què yǐ zhěng gè yīn chén xià lái ， kuáng fēng dà zuò ， huì àn de yīn qì biàn dé yuè fā de níng hòu le 。
爆炸的余波尚未完全散开，天空却已整个阴沉下来，狂风大作，晦暗的阴气变得越发的凝厚了。
Their approach was swift; there was no room for the old man to dodge.
“ shǔ bèi ， jū rán gǎn tōu xí yú wǒ ， wǒ yào jiāng nǐ chōu hún liàn pò ！”
“鼠辈，居然敢偷袭于我，我要将你抽魂炼魄！”
Puff...
shī mó de lì hǒu shēng biàn dé yuè fā de qī lì ， suí hòu biàn jiàn yīn qì fān yǒng ， yī tiáo shí yú zhàng zhǎng de yǒu hēi guǐ zhǎo cóng yīn qì zhōng yī tàn ér xià 。
尸魔的厉吼声变得越发的凄厉，随后便见阴气翻涌，一条十余丈长的黝黑鬼爪从阴气中一探而下。
He was pierced through the chest, blood splattering as he still showed disbelief on his face.
nà guǐ zhǎo tōng tǐ bāo guǒ zhe qīng sè de lín huǒ ， kàn shàng qù shén mì guǐ yì dào le jí chù 。
那鬼爪通体包裹着青色的磷火，看上去神秘诡异到了极处。
To be honest, this person's plan was indeed brilliant. The trap he set was almost perfect.
lái shì gèng shì jìn jí ， gān shòu lǎo zhě yǐ jīng méi yǒu le duǒ shǎn de yú dì 。
来势更是劲急，干瘦老者已经没有了躲闪的余地。
But what use did it have? In the cultivation world, strength spoke louder than anything else.
pū ……
噗……
Facing such formidable figures like the冯氏双魔, even a flawless plan became useless.
bèi chuān xiōng ér guò ， xuè huā bèng jiàn ér chū ， liǎn shàng yóu zì dài zhe bù néng zhì xìn zhī sè 。
被穿胸而过，血花迸溅而出，脸上犹自带着不能置信之色。
The cultivators participating in the auction were all stunned. Fear could no longer be hidden at this point.
píng xīn lái shuō ， cǐ rén de jì móu què shí chū zhòng yǐ jí ， suǒ bù xià de xiàn jǐng ， yě jī hū dào le wán měi de jìng dì 。
平心来说，此人的计谋确实出众以极，所布下的陷阱，也几乎到了完美的境地。
Of course, there was an exception—Lin Xuan's expression remained calm, with a hint of mockery on his lips.
rán ér yòu yǒu shén me yòng tú ， xiū xiān jiè shì yǐ shí lì shuō huà de 。
然而又有什么用途，修仙界是以实力说话的。
The冯氏双魔 were indeed strong.
miàn duì qiáng jué tiān xià de féng shì shuāng mó ， zài wán měi de jì móu yě biàn dé méi yǒu yòng wǔ zhī dì le 。
面对强绝天下的冯氏双魔，再完美的计谋也变得没有用武之地了。
But killing their peers so easily was too exaggerated.
cān jiā pāi mài de xiū xiān zhě ， yí gè gè jiē lù chū zhèn hàn zhī sè ， shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù ， wèi jù de biǎo qíng shì wú lùn rú hé ， yě wú fǎ yǎn shì le 。
参加拍卖的修仙者，一个个皆露出震撼之色，事情到了这一步，畏惧的表情是无论如何，也无法掩饰了。
No matter how powerful, there must be limits.
dāng rán ， yě yǒu lì wài zhě 。
当然，也有例外者。
Even facing peers, he couldn't win as cleanly and decisively.
lín xuān de biǎo qíng ， jiù píng jìng yǐ jí ， zuǐ jiǎo biān shèn zhì dài zhe xì xuè de xiào yì 。
林轩的表情，就平静以极，嘴角边甚至带着戏谑的笑意。
Perhaps it was due to overconfidence. In any case, they underestimated their opponents too much. (To be continued.)
Sigh...
The sound of a gasp for cold air entered everyone's ears.
All the cultivators present were left speechless.
A true master can tell at first glance. The烈风五行阵, renowned far and wide, was actually so easily broken by the冯氏双魔.
Everyone once again felt the terrifying power of this brother-sister duo.
