“ bù cuò ， bù cuò ， méi xiǎng dào nǐ jìng jiè diào luò dào dù jié chū qī ， jū rán hái yǒu zhè yàng bù fán de bǎo mìng jué jì ， rán ér nà yòu yǒu shén me yòng tú ， jīn tiān ， nǐ bì hún fēi pò sàn yú cǐ chù 。”
“不错，不错，没想到你境界掉落到渡劫初期，居然还有这样不凡的保命绝技，然而那又有什么用途，今天，你必魂飞魄散于此处。”
"Good, very good. I didn't expect that you would still have such an extraordinary survival technique after your realm dropped to theprimary tribulationstage. However, what use is it? Today, you must scatter your soul and spirit here."
huáng quán guǐ mǔ de shēng yīn bīng hán chè gǔ ， suí hòu zhǐ jiàn tā yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， xiàng qián zuò le yí gè pī cì de dòng zuò 。
黄泉鬼母的声音冰寒彻骨，随后只见她右手抬起，向前做了一个劈刺的动作。
The voice of the Ghost Mother of the Netherworld was icy cold as she raised her right hand, making a slashing motion forward.
jiān ruì de pò kōng shēng dà zuò 。
尖锐的破空声大做。
A sharp sound of breaking air echoed.
yī mǒ yǒu hēi de dāo guāng fú xiàn ér chū ， biǎo miàn ， hái chán rào zhe yī quān quān de diàn hú ， fēng chí diàn chè ， xiàng zhe hēi yī nǚ zǐ hū xiào ér qù le 。
一抹黝黑的刀光浮现而出，表面，还缠绕着一圈圈的电弧，风驰电掣，向着黑衣女子呼啸而去了。
A dark blade appeared, surrounded by electric arcs, rushing towards the black-robed woman.
huáng quán guǐ mǔ ， shí jī ná niē dé qià dào hǎo chù ， hēi yī nǚ zǐ zhòng shāng zhī xià ， yī shí piàn kè ， fǎ lì gēn běn jiù wú fǎ níng jù le 。
黄泉鬼母，时机拿捏得恰到好处，黑衣女子重伤之下，一时片刻，法力根本就无法凝聚了。
The Ghost Mother of the Netherworld had timed it perfectly. Under severe injury, the black-robed woman's power couldn't be condensed in an instant.
huàn yán zhī ， zhè yī kè ， tā sī háo zì bǎo zhī lì yě wú ， xīn zhōng suī bù gān dào jí chù ， dàn zhǐ yǒu bì mù dài sǐ le 。
换言之，这一刻，她丝毫自保之力也无，心中虽不甘到极处，但只有闭目待死了。
In other words, at this moment, she had no self-defense capability left. Though her heart was filled withunwilling to give up, reluctant to accept, there was only one thing to do—wait for death.
“ míng yí ！”
“冥姨！”
"Uncle Meng!"
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yī shēng jiāo hū què chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu xiāng fēng yì rán ， yuè ér yú nà qiān jūn yī fà zhī jì ， lái dào le shēn biān 。
然而就在这时，一声娇呼却传入耳朵，随后香风亦然，月儿于那千钧一发之际，来到了身边。
But just as that happened, a soft cry reached his ears, followed by the fragrance of moonlight. Moonlight appeared right on time, at the critical moment.
sù shǒu ruò lán ， zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng wò zhe yī bǐng xiān jiàn 。
素手若兰，掌心之中握着一柄仙剑。
Her delicate hands held an immortal sword in her palm, and with fluid movements, a bright blade emerged.
dòng zuò rú xíng yún liú shuǐ yì bān ， yī mǒ liàng lì de dāo guāng suí zhī fú xiàn 。
动作如行云流水一般，一抹亮丽的刀光随之浮现。
Boom!
hōng ！
轰！
A thunderous explosion rang out, and two blades of different natures collided mid-air.
jīng tiān dòng dì de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， liǎng mǒ shǔ xìng wán quán bù tóng dāo guāng zài bàn kōng zhōng hěn hěn zhuàng luò 。
惊天动地的爆裂声传入耳朵，两抹属性完全不同刀光在半空中狠狠撞落。
The sky turned ashen, but the Ghost Mother of the Netherworld was actually pleased. She had come to take Moonlight's head. Unexpectedly, this little girl had cut herself on her own sword.
tiān dì wèi zhī biàn sè ， huáng quán guǐ mǔ què bù nù fǎn xǐ qǐ lái le 。
天地为之变色，黄泉鬼母却不怒反喜起来了。
How could she let such a good opportunity slip away? Her fingers kept jabbing forward, releasing intricate spells.
tā cǐ xíng biàn shì xiǎng qǔ yuè ér de tóu lú ， méi xiǎng dào guān jiàn shí kè ， zhè xiǎo yā tou què zì jǐ zhuàng dào dāo kǒu shàng lái le 。
她此行便是想取月儿的头颅，没想到关键时刻，这小丫头却自己撞到刀口上来了。
Suddenly, piercing sounds filled the air as an unbelievable scene unfolded.
zhè me hǎo de jī huì tā qǐ néng fàng guò ， yòu shǒu lián lián xiàng qián diǎn chū ， xuán miào yì cháng de fǎ jué yóu zhǐ zhǎng jiān bù tíng jī shè 。
这么好的机会她岂能放过，右手连连向前点出，玄妙异常的法诀由指掌间不停激射。
The dark blade flashed and vanished in mid-air, replaced by countless crimson bone spines that shot out like arrows, targeting Moonlight.
dùn shí ， pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， bù kě sī yì de yí mù fú xiàn le 。
顿时，破空声大做，不可思议的一幕浮现了。
Not just Moonlight; the black-robed woman was also caught. The opponent's strategy was extremely vicious—trying to distract Moonlight so she could kill both of them here.
nà hēi sè de dāo guāng yī shǎn ， yú xū kōng zhōng xiāo sàn bú jiàn ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì wú shù xīng hóng sè de gǔ cì fú xiàn yú shēn qián 。
那黑色的刀光一闪，于虚空中消散不见，取而代之的是无数猩红色的骨刺浮现于身前。
As for those five Deva Iron Guards, they were already entangled by ghostly entities, roaring in anger as they struggled to protect themselves. Though they wanted to help, they had no spare hands.
suí hòu rú qiáng gōng yìng nǔ fā shè ， huà wèi màn tiān jiàn yǔ xiàng yuè ér jī shè guò qù le 。
随后如强弓硬弩发射，化为漫天箭雨像月儿激射过去了。
The bone spines left clear white marks on the void, showing their power was formidable indeed. But the Ghost Mother of the Netherworld's abilities weren't limited to this.
bù ， bù zhǐ shì yuè ér ， nà hēi yī nǚ zǐ yì bèi lǒng zhào zhù 。 duì fāng de yòng xīn shí fēn yīn dú ， xiǎng yào ràng yuè ér fēn xīn páng wù ， zuì hǎo jiāng tā men liǎng rén yì qǐ zhǎn shā yú cǐ chù 。
不，不止是月儿，那黑衣女子亦被笼罩住。对方的用心十分阴毒，想要让月儿分心旁骛，最好将他们两人一起斩杀于此处。
Although she showed extreme disdain for Moonlight, it was certain that she was reborn from a Deva. The Deva King was extraordinary in talent and strength; no one in the Three Realms could match her. Even true immortals would be bound by her power. This girl being her reincarnation meant she couldn't be treated as an ordinary cultivator.
zhì yú nà wǔ míng xiū luó tiě wèi ， yǐ bèi yōu guǐ chán zhù ， nù hǒu lián lián ， xiǎng yào zì bǎo dōu hěn wēi xiǎn ， suī yǒu xīn xiāng zhù ， què gēn běn fèn shēn fá shù 。
至于那五名修罗铁卫，已被幽鬼缠住，怒吼连连，想要自保都很危险，虽有心相助，却根本分身乏术。
She clasped her hands, and a blood cloud several acres wide appeared behind her.
nà gǔ cì suǒ guò zhī chù ， xū kōng yǒu yī dào dào qīng xī de bái hén fú xiàn ér chū ， kě jiàn qí wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 ér huáng quán guǐ mǔ de shǒu duàn ， dāng rán bù zhì yú cǐ chù 。
那骨刺所过之处，虚空有一道道清晰的白痕浮现而出，可见其威力非同小可。而黄泉鬼母的手段，当然不至于此处。
With a slight swirl, ghostly shadows emerged. Roaring sounds filled the air as countless monsters appeared from the blood cloud, lunging at Moonlight.
suī rán tā biǎo miàn shàng duì yuè ér bù xiè yǐ jí ， dàn duì fāng shì ā xiū luó zhuǎn shì 。 zhè yì diǎn ， què shì bǎn shàng dìng dīng dì 。
虽然她表面上对月儿不屑以极，但对方是阿修罗转世。这一点，却是板上钉钉地。
Then, the Ghost Mother of the Netherworld shook her sleeves, and a streak of gray light shot out, vanishing into the void.
ā xiū luó wáng jīng cái jué yàn ， shí lì zhī qiáng ， bié shuō sān jiè zhī zhōng ， wú rén néng lüè tā de fēng máng 。 biàn shì zhēn xiān ， yì yào shù shǒu jiù fù ， zhè yā tou jì shì tā de zhuǎn shì ， dāng rán bù néng dàng zuò pǔ tōng de xiū shì lái duì dài le 。
阿修罗王惊才绝艳，实力之强，别说三界之中，无人能掠她的锋芒。便是真仙，亦要束手就缚，这丫头既是她的转世，当然不能当做普通的修士来对待了。
"King, don't worry about me!"
zhǐ jiàn tā shuāng shǒu yī wò ， bèi hòu jìng yǒu yī duǒ shù mǔ dà xiǎo de xuè yún fú xiàn ér chū 。
只见她双手一握，背后竟有一朵数亩大小的血云浮现而出。
The black-robed woman had already recovered. Seeing this scene, she grew anxious.
lüè yī fān yǒng ， guǐ yǐng chóng chóng 。 suí hòu sī hǒu shēng dà zuò ， wú shù mó shòu jìng cóng nà duǒ xuè yún zhōng fú xiàn ér chū ， zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo 。 xiàng zhe yuè ér měng pū guò qù le 。
略一翻涌，鬼影重重。随后嘶吼声大做，无数魔兽竟从那朵血云中浮现而出，张牙舞爪。向着月儿猛扑过去了。
Ignoring her injuries, she leaped up from the ground. Her hands moved rapidly as several breaths of true essence energy spewed from her mouth.
suí hòu huáng quán guǐ mǔ xiù páo yī dǒu ， yī dào huī máng fēi chū yī xiù ， yī shǎn jí shì ， mò rù xū kōng 。
随后黄泉鬼母袖袍一抖，一道灰芒飞出衣袖，一闪即逝，没入虚空。
These were her life essence, and with her realm having dropped after being injured, these life essences became even more precious to her. But at this moment, she couldn't afford to be cautious.
“ wáng ， bú yào guǎn wǒ ！”
“王，不要管我！”
Meng Ye's face was grave as he continuously cast spells, the hissing sound of the Devaas one wishes, wish-fulfillingBox opening again.
hēi yī nǚ zǐ zhè shí yǐ jīng huǎn guò le qì 。 kàn jiàn zhè yí mù ， bù yóu de xīn zhōng dà jí 。
黑衣女子这时已经缓过了气。看见这一幕，不由得心中大急。
A colorful light flowed, and a crystal tree appeared from within.
bù gù zhòng shāng 。 cóng dì shàng yī yuè ér qǐ 。
不顾重伤。从地上一跃而起。
The tree was only a foot tall but shimmered with crystalline luster, emitting an eerie aura.
shuāng shǒu lián lián huī wǔ ， yī lián shù kǒu jīng qì ， cóng tā zuǐ bā zhōng yī pēn ér chū 。
双手连连挥舞，一连数口精气，从她嘴巴中一喷而出。
The Ghost Mother of the Netherworld's pupils constricted. But quickly, she sneered: "Devil Crystal Tree. Do you think you're still a late-stage cultivator? Even if you expend your life essence to drive it, how much power can you now unleash?"
zhè shì běn mìng zhēn yuán ， zì cóng shòu shāng yǐ hòu jìng jiè diào luò ， běn mìng yuán qì duì tā lái shuō ， jiù yuè fā zhēn guì le ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yǐ jīng gù bù dé 。
这是本命真元，自从受伤以后境界掉落，本命元气对她来说，就越发珍贵了，然而此时此刻，已经顾不得。
Before her words were finished, she shook her sleeves again and released several grotesque ghost serpents.
zhǐ jiàn míng yè de liǎn shàng mǎn shì níng zhòng zhī sè ， yī lián shù dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， cī lā zhī shēng dà zuò ， xiū luó rú yì hé zài cì yī dǎ ér kāi le 。
只见冥叶的脸上满是凝重之色，一连数道法诀打出，刺啦之声大做，修罗如意盒再次一打而开了。
Each was over ten feet long, slithering as they shot out black beams of light, rushing forward.
zhǐ jiàn wǔ sè líng guāng liú zhuǎn 。
只见五色灵光流转。
The black-robed woman's face grew even more pale. Her hands moved nonstop as she continuously cast spells.
jìng cóng lǐ miàn mào chū yī kē liú lí bǎo shù lái 。
竟从里面冒出一棵琉璃宝树来。
Suddenly, the crystal tree emitted a flash of light, and leaves flew off it.
cǐ shù gāo bù guò chǐ xǔ ， què tōng tǐ jīng yíng liú lí ， sàn fà chū lìng rén xīn jì de qì xī 。
此树高不过尺许，却通体晶莹琉璃，散发出令人心悸的气息。
At the same time, a force field spread from its center.
huáng quán guǐ mǔ yě bù yóu de tóng kǒng wēi suō ， dàn hěn kuài jiù biàn chéng le lěng xiào zhī sè ：“ xiū luó liú lí shù ， nǐ dāng zì jǐ zhēn hái shì dù jié hòu qī de dà néng xiū shì me ， jiù suàn bù xī běn mìng zhēn yuán qū cè ， nǐ xiàn zài yòu néng fā huī chū qí jǐ chéng de wēi lì lái ne ？”
黄泉鬼母也不由得瞳孔微缩，但很快就变成了冷笑之色：“修罗琉璃树，你当自己真还是渡劫后期的大能修士么，就算不惜本命真元驱策，你现在又能发挥出其几成的威力来呢？”
Each leaf swelled in size with the wind, transforming into crystalline shields.
huáng quán guǐ mǔ huà yīn wèi luò ， yī dǒu xiù páo ， jū rán yòu fàng chū le jǐ tiáo zhēng níng de guǐ mǎng 。
黄泉鬼母话音未落，一抖袖袍，居然又放出了几条狰狞的鬼蟒。
On each shield's surface, a fist-sized rune appeared.
zhǎng shù shí zhàng ， yáo tóu bǎi wěi ， kǒu zhōng pēn chū hēi sè de guāng zhù ， yě zhēng xiān kǒng hòu de pū guò lái le 。
长数十丈，摇头摆尾，口中喷出黑色的光柱，也争先恐后的扑过来了。
When they lit up, thin flying knives emerged from the shields.
hēi yī nǚ zǐ jiàn le cǐ mù ， liǎn sè yuè fā de nán kàn yǐ jí ， shuāng shǒu huī dòng bù yǐ ， yī lián shù dào fǎ jué cháo zhe qián fāng dǎ le chū qù 。
黑衣女子见了此幕，脸色越发的难看以极，双手挥动不已，一连数道法诀朝着前方打了出去。
Piercing sounds echoed as they shot forward.
zhǐ jiàn nà liú lí bǎo shù líng guāng yī shǎn ， piàn piàn yè zi jìng cóng shàng miàn fēi le xià lái 。
只见那琉璃宝树灵光一闪，片片叶子竟从上面飞了下来。
Though powerful, these alone couldn't block the Ghost Mother of the Netherworld's attacks.
yú cǐ tóng shí ， yī gǔ fǎ zé zhī lì yǐ qí wèi zhōng xīn mí sàn kāi 。
于此同时，一股法则之力以其为中心弥散开。
Fortunately, Moonlight wasn't alone.
měi yī piàn yè zi yíng fēng kuáng zhǎng qǐ lái ， huà wèi le yí miàn miàn jīng yíng liú lí de dùn pái 。
每一片叶子迎风狂涨起来，化为了一面面晶莹琉璃的盾牌。
Although she said to let Moonlight go first, her character wouldn't allow such a thing.
dùn pái de biǎo miàn ， gè yǒu yī quán tou dà xiǎo de fú wén fú xiàn 。
盾牌的表面，各有一拳头大小的符文浮现。
"Uncle Meng, we'll die together or live together."
yī liàng zhī xià ， cóng dùn pái biǎo miàn yī fēi ér chū 。
一亮之下，从盾牌表面一飞而出。
Moonlight might be soft in some ways, but when it came to being strong, she was resolute.
suí hòu nà xiē fú wén yī zhèn niǔ qū ， yī bǐng bǐng báo rú chán yì de fēi dāo yìng rù le yǎn lián 。
随后那些符文一阵扭曲，一柄柄薄如蝉翼的飞刀映入了眼帘。
Surrounded by formidable enemies, Moonlight's face showed a heart-wrenching smile.
pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， cháo zhe qián fāng jī shè ér chū 。
破空声大做，朝着前方激射而出。
"My young master, I don't know if I can survive this time. My death is not regrettable, but... I really miss you..."
wēi lì bù sú ， dàn jǐn píng zhè xiē xiǎng yào dǎng zhù huáng quán guǐ mǔ de gōng jī ， míng xiǎn shì lì yǒu bù dài de 。
威力不俗，但仅凭这些想要挡住黄泉鬼母的攻击，明显是力有不殆的。
...
hǎo zài hēi yī nǚ zǐ bìng fēi gū jiā guǎ rén yí gè 。
好在黑衣女子并非孤家寡人一个。
Lin Xuan didn't know about all of this.
tā suī rán shuō le ， yào ràng yuè ér xiān zǒu ， dàn yǐ yuè ér de xìng gé ， zěn me kě néng zuò chū zhè zhǒng shì qíng lái ne 。
她虽然说了，要让月儿先走，但以月儿的性格，怎么可能做出这种事情来呢。
The Nine Palaces Sword swept through the battlefield, and the Immortal Sword Diagram's power was too formidable to be underestimated. Flame Ghost had already reached a precarious state.
“ míng yí ， wǒ men yào sǐ yì qǐ sǐ ， yào huó yì qǐ huó 。”
“冥姨，我们要死一起死，要活一起活。”
A mere peer cultivator couldn't possibly be Lin Xuan's match in a one-on-one fight. His fall was inevitable.
yuè ér de xìng gé ， huò xǔ yǒu xiē ruǎn ruò ， dàn zài gāi jiān qiáng de shí hòu ， yě jué bú huì hán hú 。
月儿的性格，或许有些软弱，但在该坚强的时候，也绝不会含糊。
But just then, Lin Xuan felt an unprecedented sense of unease.
qiáng dí huán shì zài cè ， yuè ér liǎn shàng ， què lù chū lìng rén xīn téng de xiào róng 。
强敌环视在侧，月儿脸上，却露出令人心疼的笑容。
The feeling came so suddenly and intensely that he broke out in cold sweat, his forehead covered with beads of sweat, his face pale to the extreme.
“ shào yé ， zhè yī cì ， yuè ér bù zhī dào ， shì fǒu hái néng dù guò cǐ jié ， yuè ér sǐ bù zú xī ， zhǐ shì ， wǒ zhēn de hěn xiǎng nǐ ……”
“少爷，这一次，月儿不知道，是否还能度过此劫，月儿死不足惜，只是，我真的很想你……”
"Wrong, such a heart sensation can't be wrong. Something must have happened to Moonlight."
……
……
Lin Xuan turned his head and released his powerful spiritual sense.
zhè yī qiè ， lín xuān bìng bù xiǎo de 。
这一切，林轩并不晓得。
Over ten miles away, the siege battle was still raging fiercely. But this time, Lin Xuan wouldn't be deceived by appearances.
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zòng héng bǎi hé ， xiān jiàn tú de wēi néng gèng shì ràng rén bù gǎn qīng wǔ ， yán guǐ yǐ xiǎn xiàng huán shēng dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
九宫须臾剑纵横捭阖，仙剑图的威能更是让人不敢轻侮，炎鬼已险象环生到无以复加的地步。
His concern for Moonlight surged like a tidal wave, filling his heart.
qū qū yī míng tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， dān dǎ dú dòu ， yòu zěn me kě néng shì lín xuān de duì shǒu 。
区区一名同阶修仙者，单打独斗，又怎么可能是林轩的对手。
No matter what, he must return to Moonlight's spiritual awareness as quickly as possible.
yǔn luò yǐ jīng shì shí jiān wèn tí 。
陨落已经是时间问题。
With that thought in mind, Lin Xuan made his choice.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， lín xuān què gǎn jué dào yī gǔ qián suǒ wèi yǒu de mò míng xīn jì 。
然而就在这时，林轩却感觉到一股前所未有的莫名心悸。
But this moment of distraction exposed a flaw.
nà gǎn jué lái de shì rú cǐ de tū rán ， rú cǐ de měng liè ， yǐ zhì yú lín xuān jìng lěng hàn lín lí ， é tóu shàng gèng hàn zhū mì bù ， liǎn sè nán kàn dào wú yí fù jiā de dì bù 。
那感觉来得是如此的突然，如此的猛烈，以至于林轩竟冷汗淋漓，额头上更汗珠密布，脸色难看到无疑复加的地步。
The attack slowed down. The Flame Ghost was also at the middle-stage ofprimary tribulation, with keen eyesight. Such an opportunity wouldn't be missed.
“ bú duì ， zhè yàng de xīn tóu líng zhào ， bù kě néng chū cuò ， yuè ér nà biān ， yí dìng chū shì le 。”
“不对，这样的心头灵兆，不可能出错，月儿那边，一定出事了。”
His face showed extreme joy as he flashed and blurred, rushing through the gaps in the sword light.
lín xuān rěn bú zhù zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， jiāng qiáng dà de shén niàn yī fàng ér chū 。
林轩忍不住转过头颅，将强大的神念一放而出。
P.S:
shí yú wàn lǐ zhī wài ， gōng chéng zhàn yī jiù rú huǒ rú tú ， rán ér zhè yī cì ， lín xuān zài yě bú huì bèi biǎo xiàng suǒ mí huò 。
十余万里之外，攻城战依旧如火如荼，然而这一次，林轩再也不会被表象所迷惑。
Please vote for recommendation tickets! Thank you!
duì yuè ér de dān xīn ， rú cháo shuǐ yì bān ， mí màn jìn zhěng gè xīn tián 。
对月儿的担心，如潮水一般，弥漫进整个心田。
(Translation Note: "primary tribulation" is a term used to describe a specific stage of cultivation, roughly equivalent to "initial tribulation" or "primary tribulation.")
"Good, very good. I didn't expect that you would still have such an extraordinary survival technique after your realm dropped to theprimary tribulationstage. However, what use is it? Today, you must scatter your soul and spirit here."
The voice of the Ghost Mother of the Netherworld was icy cold as she raised her right hand, making a slashing motion forward.
A sharp sound of breaking air echoed.
A dark blade appeared, surrounded by electric arcs, rushing towards the black-robed woman.
The Ghost Mother of the Netherworld had timed it perfectly. Under severe injury, the black-robed woman's power couldn't be condensed in an instant.
