féng shì shuāng mó bó rán dà nù ， kě miàn duì zhè shén miào de dùn shù ， tā men yě zhǐ yǒu tú huàn nài hé 。
冯氏双魔勃然大怒，可面对这神妙的遁术，他们也只有徒唤奈何。
The Feng family duo was furious, but in the face of this wondrous escape technique, they could only sigh helplessly.
yǎn kàn qiān miàn sàn rén jiù yào dài zhe bǎo bèi lí kāi cǐ chù 。
眼看千面散人就要带着宝贝离开此处。
Just as it seemed that Thousand-Faced Loose Man was about to take his treasures and leave, something unexpected happened again.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， chū rén yì liào de biàn gù zài cì fā shēng le 。
然而就在这时，出人意料的变故再次发生了。
Indeed, an unexpected turn of events. This auction had its share of twists and turns. Every time they thought everything was settled, some unforeseen event would arise.
méi cuò ， biàn gù 。
没错，变故。
The bronze tripod now belonged to Thousand-Faced Loose Man, but could he truly emerge victorious?
zhè yī cì pāi mài huì ， kě yǐ shuō yī bō sān zhé 。
这一次拍卖会，可以说一波三折。
Many people believed so.
měi yī cì yǐ wéi dà jú yǐ dìng de shí hòu ， zǒng huì yǒu chū rén yì liào de biàn gù fú xiàn ér chū 。
每一次以为大局已定的时候，总会有出人意料的变故浮现而出。
But suddenly, spatial fluctuations surged, a muffled sound reached their ears, and a black line like a venomous snake flashed into the space rift before vanishing.
tóng lú xiàn zài yǐ shì qiān miàn sàn rén de náng zhōng wù ， kě tā shì fǒu néng gòu xiào dào zuì hòu ne ？
铜炉现在已是千面散人的囊中物，可他是否能够笑到最后呢？
Crack!
hěn duō rén shì zhè me yǐ wéi de 。
很多人是这么以为的。
A loud explosion filled the air as the space rift rapidly dissipated. It had been neutralized!
kě jiù zài zhè shí ， kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ ， mèn xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhǐ jiàn yī tiáo hēi xiàn yǒu rú dú shé ， yī shǎn jí shì de mò rù nà kōng jiān liè fèng bú jiàn le 。
可就在这时，空间波动骤起，闷响声传入耳朵，只见一条黑线有如毒蛇，一闪即逝的没入那空间裂缝不见了。
At the渡劫 stage, one could tear through space without much ado. But to repair such a rift was impressive. Repairing was far more difficult than destroying. This required a deeper understanding of the laws.
pī lǐ pā lā ……
噼里啪啦……
Could it be that a late-stage cultivator appeared here?
bào xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà kōng jiān liè fèng jìng yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de sù dù huà wèi xū wú 。
爆响声传入耳朵，那空间裂缝竟以肉眼可见的速度化为虚无。
Before this thought fully formed in their minds, a shocked and angry voice echoed.
bèi zhōng hé diào le ！
被中和掉了！
From over ten feet away, spatial fluctuations erupted, followed by Thousand-Faced Loose Man stumbling into existence in mid-air. His face was filled with shock and anger as he shouted: "Who, who can break through my space escape technique?"
xiū wèi dào le dù jié qī ， néng gòu sī liè kōng jiān bù suàn xī qí 。
修为到了渡劫期，能够撕裂空间不算稀奇。
"Space escape technique? Don’t embarrass yourself here. With your current level, how could you possibly master such a profound spell? The secret technique just now was nothing but a trick."
rán ér néng gòu jiāng sī liè chū lái de liè fèng zhōng hé xiū fù ， zhè yàng de zhàn lì jiù hěn liǎo bù qǐ 。
然而能够将撕裂出来的裂缝中和修复，这样的战力就很了不起。
A cold laugh echoed in their ears, followed by a massive black shadow appearing before Thousand-Faced Loose Man.
xiū fù bǐ pò huài nán dé duō 。
修复比破坏难得多。
Though the face was unclear, the pressure emanating from it was shocking—was he indeed late-stage?
zhè xū yào gèng gāo céng cì duì fǎ zé de lǐng wù 。
这需要更高层次对法则的领悟。
The cultivators present were stunned. Even the Feng family duo’s formidable presence seemed to falter slightly.
nán dào chū xiàn zài zhè lǐ de ， jū rán shì yī dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ？
难道出现在这里的，居然是一渡劫后期的修仙者？
Despite their confidence in their strength, late-stage渡劫 beings could not be underestimated. Engaging such an entity was not a wise choice for anyone of lesser rank.
zhòng rén nǎo hǎi zhōng zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， jīng nù de dà jiào shēng jiù chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
众人脑海中这个念头尚未转过，惊怒的大叫声就传入耳朵。
Lin Xuan was the only exception; his face showed a strange expression as if he had discovered something secret.
shí yú zhàng wài ， kōng jiān bō dòng bào fā chū lái ， jǐn gēn zhe ， nà qiān miàn sàn rén diē diē zhuàng zhuàng de zài xū kōng zhōng fú xiàn 。
十余丈外，空间波动爆发出来，紧跟着，那千面散人跌跌撞撞的在虚空中浮现。
"Sir... what do you intend?"
tā de liǎn shàng mǎn shì jīng nù zhī sè ， bù kě sī yì de dà jiào qǐ lái le ：“ shì shuí ， shì shuí kě yǐ pò qù wǒ de xū kōng dùn shù ？”
他的脸上满是惊怒之色，不可思议的大叫起来了：“是谁，是谁可以破去我的虚空遁术？”
Thousand-Faced Loose Man gritted his teeth and said.
“ xū kōng dùn shù ， bié zài zhè lǐ diū rén le ， jiù píng nǐ ， zěn me kě néng lǐng wù nà me gāo shēn de fǎ shù ， gāng cái de mì shù ， bù guò shì piàn rén de bǎ xì bà le 。”
“虚空遁术，别在这里丢人了，就凭你，怎么可能领悟那么高深的法术，刚才的秘术，不过是骗人的把戏罢了。”
But before he could finish, another unexpected event occurred. A nearly invisible smoke shadow appeared behind him silently.
lěng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu yī jù dà de hēi yǐng 。 zài qiān miàn sàn rén de shēn qián fú xiàn ér chū 。
冷笑的声音传入耳朵，随后一巨大的黑影。在千面散人的身前浮现而出。
A hand extended, holding a blade of fierce light about a foot long. The action was swift, striking through Thousand-Faced Loose Man’s back in an instant.
miàn mù kàn bù qīng chǔ ， rán ér suǒ sàn fà chū lái de yā lì ， què ràng rén zé shé ， zhēn de shì dù jié hòu qī me ？
面目看不清楚，然而所散发出来的压力，却让人咋舌，真的是渡劫后期么？
Blood splattered!
zài chǎng de xiū shì jiē bèi zhèn zhù ， biàn shì bù kě yī shì de féng shì shuāng mó ， shēn xíng yě yǒu xiē níng zhì le 。
在场的修士皆被震住，便是不可一世的冯氏双魔，身形也有些凝滞了。
Thousand-Faced Loose Man’s face showed disbelief as he opened his mouth wide but could not utter a word.
tā men suī duì zì jǐ de shí lì xìn xīn shí zú ， dàn dù jié hòu qī bù róng qīng wǔ ， yǔ nà ge děng jiē de cún zài duì shàng ， bú shì cōng míng rén de xuǎn zé 。
他们虽对自己的实力信心十足，但渡劫后期不容轻侮，与那个等阶的存在对上，不是聪明人的选择。
Reap what you sow.
lín xuān shì wéi yī de lì wài zhě ， tā de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī guǐ yì zhī sè 。 fǎng fú fā xiàn le shén me mì mì shì de 。
林轩是唯一的例外者，他的脸上闪过一丝诡异之色。仿佛发现了什么秘密似的。
He had always enjoyed playing mind games with his opponents throughout his life. But this time, it was his own trap that led to his downfall.
“ gé xià …… gé xià yì yù rú hé ？”
“阁下……阁下意欲如何？”
No fighting, only scheming!
qiān miàn sàn rén yǎo yá qiè chǐ de shuō 。
千面散人咬牙切齿的说。
Tian Xiaojian was equally confident in his cunning.
rán ér huà yīn wèi luò ， yì biàn fā shēng le 。
然而话音未落，异变发生了。
Feint and strike!
yī dào jī hū dàn ruò bú jiàn de yān yǐng ， wú shēng wú xī de zài tā bèi hòu fú xiàn ér chū 。
一道几乎淡若不见的烟影，无声无息的在他背后浮现而出。
Use the Dharmic Form to draw their attention forward.
tàn chū yī zhī shǒu zhǎng 。 zhǎng xīn zhōng chí zhe chǐ xǔ zhǎng de lì máng ， dòng zuò xùn jí ， shǎn diàn bān de xiàng qí hòu bèi chā le guò qù 。
探出一只手掌。掌心中持着尺许长的厉芒，动作迅疾，闪电般的像其后背插了过去。
Though Tian Xiaojian was only mid-stage渡劫, he could project a terrifying pressure with his Dharmic Form that rivaled late-stage beings.
xuè huā bèng jiàn ér chū ！
血花迸溅而出！
Sure enough, all the cultivators’ attention was drawn by this ruse.
qiān miàn sàn rén de liǎn shàng yǐ mǎn shì bù kě sī yì zhī sè ， zhāng dà le zuǐ bā ， què yī jù huà yě shuō bù chū lái le 。
千面散人的脸上已满是不可思议之色，张大了嘴巴，却一句话也说不出来了。
Thus, his true form struck from behind as planned.
suàn rén zhě 。 rén yì suàn zhī 。
算人者。人亦算之。
Indeed, it hit its mark!
tā zhè bèi zi duì dí ， zuì xǐ huān wán shàng bīng fá móu de bǎ xì 。
他这辈子对敌，最喜欢玩上兵伐谋的把戏。
This sneak attack destroyed his heart completely. Even渡劫 cultivators would surely perish under such injuries.
kě zhè yī cì ， què shì sǐ zài le duì fāng de xiàn jǐng lǐ 。
可这一次，却是死在了对方的陷阱里。
Tian Xiaojian, a relentless cultivator, had no intention of letting the enemy escape.
dòu zhì bù dòu lì ！
斗智不斗力！
"You can rest in peace now!"
lùn xīn jì ， tián xiǎo jiàn yì shì xìn xīn shí zú dì 。
论心计，田小剑亦是信心十足地。
He clutched his hands and purple demonic flames burst forth from his palms.
shēng dōng jī xī ！
声东击西！
"Ahh!"
yòng fǎ xiàng zài qián fāng xī yǐn duì fāng de zhù yì 。
用法相在前方吸引对方的注意。
A惨叫 filled their ears as Thousand-Faced Loose Man was consumed by the fierce flames. Even his元婴 failed to escape, vanishing instantly.
tián xiǎo jiàn suī zhǐ shì dù jié zhōng qī ， dàn xū zhāng shēng shì ， fǎ xiàng què kě yǐ sàn fà chū dù jié hòu qī cái yǒu de kě pà yā lì 。
田小剑虽只是渡劫中期，但虚张声势，法相却可以散发出渡劫后期才有的可怕压力。
Such terrifying demonic flames!
guǒ rán 。 jiāng bāo kuò qiān miàn sàn rén zài nèi de suǒ yǒu xiū xiān zhě de mù guāng ， quán bù xī yǐn le guò qù 。
果然。将包括千面散人在内的所有修仙者的目光，全部吸引了过去。
Like a cicada protecting itself while a sparrow waits in ambush, the bronze tripod had fallen into Tian Xiaojian’s hands.
yú shì tā de zhēn shēn jiāng jì jiù jì ， qián dào duì fāng bèi hòu tōu xí 。
于是他的真身将计就计，潜到对方背后偷袭。
But just then, bloodlight flashed again as that eerie red blade reappeared with a fierce roar. The风云 suddenly changed as a massive ghostly claw struck Tian Xiaojian.
guǒ rán 。 yī jī jí zhōng ！
果然。一击即中！
The Feng family duo!
zhè yī xià tōu xí ， zhí jiē jiāng duì fāng de xīn zàng huǐ qù 。
这一下偷袭，直接将对方的心脏毁去。
These siblings dared not belittle Rain Mist Business Alliance. How could they be content to let someone else take the spoils?
biàn shì dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， shòu le zhè yàng de shāng ， ròu shēn yě zhù dìng yǔn luò 。
便是渡劫级别的修仙者，受了这样的伤，肉身也注定陨落。
Though they recognized Tian Xiaojian’s formidable nature, what did that matter? Even late-stage beings couldn’t deter them. They had to snatch this tripod no matter what.
ér tián xiǎo jiàn kě shì dé lǐ bù ráo rén de xiū xiān zhě ， fàng hǔ guī shān de chǔn shì jué bú huì qù zuò 。
而田小剑可是得理不饶人的修仙者，放虎归山的蠢事绝不会去做。
"Damn it!"
“ nǐ kě yǐ ān xīn de qù sǐ le ！”
“你可以安心的去死了！”
Tian Xiaojian had anticipated such an outcome; his face showed no fear but clear disappointment.
zhǐ jiàn tā shuāng shǒu yī wò 。 zǐ sè de mó huǒ yóu qí zhǐ zhǎng jiān pēn bó 。
只见他双手一握。紫色的魔火由其指掌间喷薄。
Although he could predict the result, escaping was not easy.
“ a ！”
“啊！”
The Feng family duo’s attacks were fierce and well-coordinated.
cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， qiān miàn sàn rén yǐ bèi nà kě pà de liè yàn tūn mò 。 lián yuán yīng dōu méi yǒu jī huì táo tuō ， qǐng kè zhī jiān huà wèi le xū wú 。
惨叫声传入耳朵，千面散人已被那可怕的烈焰吞没。连元婴都没有机会逃脱，顷刻之间化为了虚无。
Facing two opponents, Tian Xiaojian held his own but couldn’t defeat them quickly. If this battle continued, he would surely emerge victorious.
hǎo kě pà de mó huǒ ！
好可怕的魔火！
But how much time did they have?
táng láng bǔ chán ， huáng què zài hòu ， tóng lú yǐ luò rù le tián xiǎo jiàn zhī shǒu 。
螳螂捕蝉，黄雀在后，铜炉已落入了田小剑之手。
If the fight dragged on, who knew what other turns of events might occur? Rain Mist Business Alliance was no trifling matter.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， xuè máng yī shǎn ， nà yāo yì de xuè hóng sè dāo guāng zài cì fú xiàn ， tóng shí lì hǒu shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， fēng yún tū biàn ， yī jù dà de guǐ zhǎo yǐ pī cì xiàng tián xiǎo jiàn 。
然而就在这时，血芒一闪，那妖异的血红色刀光再次浮现，同时厉吼声传入耳朵，风云突变，一巨大的鬼爪已劈刺像田小剑。
For the Menglou Divine Fruit, Tian Xiaojian had to secure the bronze tripod but didn’t want to provoke such a formidable entity. Even the Lord of the Demon Realm showed caution toward cross-domain forces and didn’t wish for an all-out confrontation with Rain Mist Business Alliance.
féng shì shuāng mó ！
冯氏双魔！
To avoid this outcome, he must leave quickly.
zhè duì xiōng mèi kě shì lián yǔ lán shāng méng dōu gǎn bù fàng zài yǎn lǐ de rén wù ， zěn me gān xīn wèi bié rén zuò jià yī ne ？
这对兄妹可是连雨岚商盟都敢不放在眼里的人物，怎么甘心为别人做嫁衣呢？
But while it was easy to say, doing so proved immensely difficult.
tā men suī kàn chū tián xiǎo jiàn bù hǎo rě ， bù guò nà yòu rú hé ？
他们虽看出田小剑不好惹，不过那又如何？
Tian Xiaojian’s face showed a fierce expression; he had no choice but to use that technique.
jí biàn dù jié hòu qī de cún zài yě bù néng ràng tā men tuì suō ， wú lùn rú hé ， yě yào qiǎng xià zhè ge tóng lú 。
即便渡劫后期的存在也不能让他们退缩，无论如何，也要抢下这个铜炉。
Cut through the chaos. Severe injuries were necessary for him to escape.
“ kě wù ！”
“可恶！”
He raised his hands as if to summon some treasure. But suddenly, something unexpected happened.
zhè zhǒng jié jú ， tián xiǎo jiàn dǎo shì yě yǐ jīng xiǎng guò ， tā de liǎn shàng háo wú wèi jù ， dàn ào sàng què shì xiǎn ér yì jiàn dì 。
这种结局，田小剑倒是也已经想过，他的脸上毫无畏惧，但懊丧却是显而易见地。
Rumble!
suī rán néng gòu yù jiàn zhè zhǒng jié jú ， dàn xiǎng yào bǎi tuō hái zhēn bù róng yì 。
虽然能够预见这种结局，但想要摆脱还真不容易。
The ground trembled, and stones fell from above. The primordial energy of heaven and earth became chaotic.
féng shì shuāng mó de gōng shì shí fēn líng lì ， pèi hé ， yě tóng yàng shì mò qì wú bǐ 。
冯氏双魔的攻势十分凌厉，配合，也同样是默契无比。
Suddenly, their feet sank into the ground.
tián xiǎo jiàn yǐ yī dí èr ， suī rán bù là xià fēng ， dàn jí qiè jiān xiǎng yào jī bài liǎng rén ， yě shì bù kě néng dì 。
田小剑以一敌二，虽然不落下风，但急切间想要击败两人，也是不可能地。
A shocking demonic aura emerged.
ruò shì zhè chǎng zhàn dòu yì zhí chí xù ， tā yǒu bǎ wò chéng wéi xiào dào zuì hòu de shèng lì zhě 。
若是这场战斗一直持续，他有把握成为笑到最后的胜利者。
"What is this..."
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， nǎ ér yǒu zhè ge shí jiān ne ？
然而此时此刻，哪儿有这个时间呢？
Lin Xuan turned his head in shock at Tian Xiaojian’s appearance. This aura was so familiar; it wasn’t something ordinary demons could possess.
yí dàn shí jiān tuō jiǔ le ， tiān zhī dào huì chū xiàn zěn yàng de biàn gù ， yǔ lán shāng méng de shí lì kě bù róng qīng rǔ 。
一旦时间拖久了，天知道会出现怎样的变故，雨岚商盟的实力可不容轻辱。
Indeed, primordial demon qi!
wèi le míng hé shén guǒ ， zhè tóng lú tián xiǎo jiàn zhì zài bì děi ， rán ér tā kě bù xiǎng zhāo rě yǔ lán shāng méng zhè yàng de páng rán dà wù 。
为了冥河神果，这铜炉田小剑志在必得，然而他可不想招惹雨岚商盟这样的庞然大物。
Legends spoke of only true spirits possessing such power. Some late-stage demons might also command it.
biàn shì mó jiè zhī zhǔ ， yán yǔ lǐ duì zhè kuà jiè shì lì ， yě pǒ duō gù jì ， tā zì rán bù xiǎng tóng yǔ lán shāng méng ， lái gè bù sǐ bù xiū de jié jú 。
便是魔界之主，言语里对这跨界势力，也颇多顾忌，他自然不想同雨岚商盟，来个不死不休的结局。
The primordial demon qi possessed by a true spirit differed from that of a demon powerhouse.
ér wèi le bì miǎn zhè ge jié guǒ ， zì jǐ jiù bì xū jǐn kuài lí kāi cǐ chù 。
而为了避免这个结果，自己就必须尽快离开此处。
Though an ordinary cultivator might not discern the difference, Lin Xuan could recognize it.
rán ér shuō shuō róng yì ， zhēn xiǎng yào zuò ， què shì qiān nán wàn nán dì 。
然而说说容易，真想要做，却是千难万难地。
True spirits, Lin Xuan had once fought and even killed.
tián xiǎo jiàn de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī lì sè ， kàn lái bì xū yòng nà yī zhāo le 。
田小剑的脸上闪过一丝厉色，看来必须用那一招了。
But the current primordial demon qi was far more powerful than that of Jin Yue’s true spirit cricket. Though not as formidable as a phoenix, it was still beyond most true spirits.
kuài dāo zhǎn luàn má ， zhòng chuāng shuāng mó ， zì jǐ bì xū zhòng chuāng shuāng mó ， cái néng lí kāi zhī chù 。
快刀斩乱麻，重创双魔，自己必须重创双魔，才能离开之处。
What kind of treasure is this bronze tripod? First,渡劫 powerhouses, now even true spirits were getting involved?
The Feng family duo was furious, but in the face of this wondrous escape technique, they could only sigh helplessly.
Just as it seemed that Thousand-Faced Loose Man was about to take his treasures and leave, something unexpected happened again.
