lín xuān xīn zhōng yuè fā jīng nù ， xiù páo yī fú ， xiǎng yào jì chū fáng yù de bǎo wù ， rán ér “ gē gē ” de jiāo xiào chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhè yī cì ， què shì yuè ér de dòng zuò gèng jiā xùn sù 。
林轩心中越发惊怒，袖袍一拂，想要祭出防御的宝物，然而“咯咯”的娇笑传入耳朵，这一次，却是月儿的动作更加迅速。
Lin Xuan's heart was filled with shock and anger. He flicked his sleeves, intending to summon a defensive treasure, but instead, he heard the "kukuku" laughter of Yue'er, who moved even faster this time.
dàn jiàn tā yù shǒu huī wǔ ， shà shí jiān yīn fēng dà zuò ， yǒu rú wàn guǐ qí kū ， yī gǔ nóng rú mò zhī de yīn qì ， bāo guǒ zhù liǎng rén de shēn tǐ 。
但见她玉手挥舞，霎时间阴风大做，有如万鬼齐哭，一股浓如墨汁的阴气，包裹住两人的身体。
She waved her jade hand, instantly creating a thick mist of dark wind that sounded like a chorus of ten thousand ghosts crying. A dense, ink-like aura enveloped both of them.
xià yī kè ， nà xiē wǔ yán liù sè de guāng zhù ， yǐ hěn hěn de jī dǎ shàng lái le 。
下一刻，那些五颜六色的光柱，已狠狠的击打上来了。
In the next moment, those colorful light beams struck down with great force.
rán ér què shì ní niú rù hǎi ， zhì shǐ zhì zhōng méi yǒu xiān qǐ bàn diǎn bō lán 。
然而却是泥牛入海，至始至终没有掀起半点波澜。
However, it was like a stone thrown into deep water; there was no trace of disturbance.
xiū luó qī bǎo shàng wèi còu zú ， dàn yuè ér bì jìng yě jìn jiē chéng le dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
修罗七宝尚未凑足，但月儿毕竟也进阶成了渡劫初期的修仙者。
Though the Seven Treasures of the Deva had not been fully gathered yet, Yue'er had advanced to the early stage of Tribulation Transcendence cultivators. Her abilities were naturally formidable. The last time she couldn't even defeat an equal-level ghost, it was because her realm hadn't stabilized after just advancing and out of concern that Lin Xuan might be no match for the Netherworld Ghost Mother, thus compromising her strength.
tā suǒ xiū shén tōng zì shì bù sú ， shàng yī cì ， zhī suǒ yǐ lián tóng jiē de yōu guǐ dōu dǎ bù guò ， yī lái ， shì gāng gāng jìn jí ， jìng jiè shàng wèi wěn gù ， èr lái ， zé shì dān xīn lín xuān bù dí huáng quán guǐ mǔ ， fēn xīn èr yòng ， shí lì bù dé bù dǎ zhé kòu xǔ duō 。
她所修神通自是不俗，上一次，之所以连同阶的幽鬼都打不过，一来，是刚刚晋级，境界尚未稳固，二来，则是担心林轩不敌黄泉鬼母，分心二用，实力不得不打折扣许多。
Now, with circumstances changed, Yue'er's realm had stabilized. Her first move displayed considerable power.
rú jīn shí guò jìng qiān ， yuè ér de jìng jiè yǐ jīng wěn gù ， zhè yī dòng shǒu ， jiù xiǎn de shēng wēi bù sú 。
如今时过境迁，月儿的境界已经稳固，这一动手，就显得声威不俗。
The first wave of light beams was blocked, but Yue'er wasn’t one to simply take hits without retaliating.
guāng zhù de dì yī bō gōng jī ， yǐ bèi lán zhù ， ér guāng ái dǎ bù huán shǒu ， yě bú shì yuè ér de xìng gé 。
光柱的第一波攻击，已被拦住，而光挨打不还手，也不是月儿的性格。
Her jade hand flitted through the air, and the dark aura churned violently, revealing hundreds of skeletal heads on its surface. Their eyes turned blood-red as they gnashed their jaws loudly, spitting out demonic flames...
dàn jiàn tā yù shǒu fēi wǔ ， nà nóng rú mò zhī de yīn qì yī zhèn fān yǒng ， dùn shí zài yīn qì de biǎo miàn ， fú xiàn chū shù yǐ bǎi jì de kū lóu tóu 。
但见她玉手飞舞，那浓如墨汁的阴气一阵翻涌，顿时在阴气的表面，浮现出数以百计的骷髅头。
Rumble!
shuāng mù zuò xuè hóng zhī sè ， shàng xià hé yī zhèn “ gē bēng gē bēng ” de luàn jué ， dùn shí ， kǒu pēn mó huǒ ……
双目做血红之色，上下颌一阵“咯嘣咯嘣”的乱嚼，顿时，口喷魔火……
The peaks were all enveloped by the protective barrier's light curtain. However, Yue'er’s attacks couldn’t be ignored; though not collapsing in a spectacular manner, her assault still caused significant damage, destroying most of the Crystal Might Cannon.
hōng lōng lóng ！
轰隆隆！
With no backup plans proving useful, the elderly man in black and the middle-aged man with the surname Lu looked utterly dismayed. The Cloud Fairy's subordinates were just as absurd. Was their sect truly destined to meet its end today?
nà xiē shān fēng ， jiē bèi hù pài dà zhèn de guāng mù suǒ bāo guǒ 。
那些山峰，皆被护派大阵的光幕所包裹。
But at this moment, such thoughts held no meaning.
rán ér yuè ér de gōng jī ， yòu qǐ néng shì ruò wú wù ， suī méi yǒu bèi dǎ dé hōng rán tān tā ， dàn shòu chuàng yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， jīng wēi pào bèi huǐ qù shí zhī qī bā le 。
然而月儿的攻击，又岂能视若无物，虽没有被打得轰然坍塌，但受创也非同小可，晶威炮被毁去十之七八了。
The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with resolve.
yī lián liǎng shǒu zhǔn bèi dōu méi yǒu yòng tú ， zào páo lǎo zhě yǔ lǚ xìng zhōng nián rén de biǎo qíng nán kàn dào le jí chù ， yún zhōng xiān zi de bù xià yě rú cǐ lí pǔ ， nán dào běn mén jīn rì ， dàng zhēn yào zài jié nán táo me ？
一连两手准备都没有用途，皂袍老者与吕姓中年人的表情难看到了极处，云中仙子的部下也如此离谱，难道本门今日，当真要在劫难逃么？
Though most cultivators are cold-hearted and emotionally detached, there are those deeply attached to their sects.
dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， shuō zhè xiē yǐ méi yǒu yì yì le 。
但此时此刻，说这些已没有意义了。
These two were among them, now harboring the intention to die. They would sacrifice themselves for Yun Xia Sect!
liǎng rén duì shì yī yǎn ， yǎn zhōng jiē yǒu jué jué de guāng máng shǎn guò 。
两人对视一眼，眼中皆有决绝的光芒闪过。
Brothers in arms simultaneously unleashed their命魂宝物, transforming into two streaks of green and white light that rushed towards Lin Xuan with incredible speed.
xiū xiān zhě suī guǎ qíng báo yì zhě jū duō 。 dàn yě bù fá duì mén pài jù yǒu shēn hòu gǎn qíng de 。
修仙者虽寡情薄意者居多。但也不乏对门派具有深厚感情的。
The buzzing sound was already loud before they reached him; a terrifying spiritual pressure descended from the sky.
liǎng rén jiù shì rú cǐ ， cǐ shí ， tā men yǐ xīn cún sǐ zhì 。
两人就是如此，此时，他们已心存死志。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he flicked his sleeves. The Nine Palaces Sword formed a continuous line, moving swiftly to block their attacks.
wèi le yún xiá pài ， bù xī yī sǐ ！
为了云霞派，不惜一死！
"Why are you doing this? We've never wronged each other in the past or present. Why would you ambush us here?"
shī xiōng dì èr rén ， jī hū tóng shí jì chū le zì jǐ de běn mìng bǎo wù ， huà zuò qīng bái èr dào jīng hóng ， fēng chí diàn chè ， xiàng zhe lín xuān pū guò qù le 。
师兄弟二人，几乎同时祭出了自己的本命宝物，化作青白二道惊虹，风驰电掣，像着林轩扑过去了。
Lin Xuan scanned them and saw that they were two early-stage Tribulation Transcendence cultivators. He wasn't afraid of facing them together with Yue'er, but he didn’t want to engage in a meaningless battle.
rén wèi zhì ， wēng míng shēng yǐ shì dà qǐ 。
人未至，嗡鸣声已是大起。
Better to avoid trouble if possible. At the very least, he needed to understand the reason behind this ambush.
kě pà de líng yā cóng tiān ér zhì 。
可怕的灵压从天而至。
"Devil, stop your nonsense! Do you think we would fall for your ruse?" The middle-aged man with the surname Lu roared. The clouds in the sky were dispersed as his sleeves billowed, and his arm grew tenfold. He was practicing physical cultivation.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， xiù páo yī fú 。 jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn lián chéng yī piàn ， zòng héng bǎi hé ， yǐ jiāng liǎng rén de gōng jī dǎng zhù 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，袖袍一拂。九宫须臾剑连成一片，纵横捭阖，已将两人的攻击挡住。
He threw a punch at them, while the elderly man in black wasn’t idle either. His sleeves flailed, sending out countless short spears from within.
“ liǎng wèi dào yǒu zhè shì wèi hé 。 nǐ wǒ wǎng rì wú yuàn ， jìn rì wú chóu ， wèi hé yào zài zhè lǐ shè fú ？”
“两位道友这是为何。你我往日无怨，近日无仇，为何要在这里设伏？”
"Unlucky bastards!"
lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò ， yǐ kàn chū lái zhě shì liǎng wèi dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
林轩目光扫过，已看出来者是两位渡劫初期的修仙者。
Lin Xuan was provoked to true anger. It was understandable why he was upset; who had wronged him?
zì jǐ yǔ yuè ér lián shǒu ， gù rán bù jù 。 dàn zhè fān jīng lì ， wěi shí xī lǐ hú tú yǐ jí 。
自己与月儿联手，固然不惧。但这番经历，委实稀里糊涂以极。
Just after teleporting, it was uncertain whether they had arrived at Rain桐界, but they were ambushed by someone for no reason.
lín xuān bú shì dǎn xiǎo pà shì de xiū xiān zhě ， dàn mò míng qí miào de jià ， què yě shì bù yuàn yì dǎ dī 。
林轩不是胆小怕事的修仙者，但莫名其妙的架，却也是不愿意打的。
The attacks were fierce. If not for his far superior strength compared to others of the same realm, they would have surely been severely injured or worse.
duō yī shì bù rú shǎo yī shì ， zhì shǎo yào nòng míng bái yuán wěi shì shén me 。
多一事不如少一事，至少要弄明白原委是什么。
As the saying goes, even clay has a spark of fire; how much more so for cultivators?
“ mó tóu xiū zài nà lǐ hú yán luàn yǔ ， nǐ yǐ wéi wǒ men huì zhōng nǐ diào hǔ lí shān de jiān jì ！”
“魔头休在那里胡言乱语，你以为我们会中你调虎离山的奸计！”
Though Lin Xuan didn’t want to engage in such a battle without cause, it was now too late. The other party was clearly forcing him into action.
nà lǚ xìng zhōng nián rén yī shēng dà hē 。 dàn jiàn tiān kōng zhōng de yún cǎi dōu bèi zhèn sàn le ， suí hòu biàn jiàn tā de xiù páo gǔ dàng qǐ lái ， shǒu bì qǐng kè jiān biàn dà le shí bèi hái duō 。 zhè jiā huo xiū liàn de jū rán shì liàn tǐ shù 。
那吕姓中年人一声大喝。但见天空中的云彩都被震散了，随后便见他的袖袍鼓荡起来，手臂顷刻间变大了十倍还多。这家伙修炼的居然是炼体术。
Thoughts raced through his mind like lightning. A trace of viciousness flashed across his face as he saw the attacks closing in. Without dodging, Lin Xuan charged head-on at their punch.
yáng shēng tǔ qì ， yī quán xiàng liǎng rén dǎ chū 。
扬声吐气，一拳像两人打出。
Facing an early-stage Tribulation Transcendence cultivator, a direct confrontation was the simplest and most straightforward approach.
zhì yú nà zào páo lǎo zhě ， dāng rán yě bú huì xián zhe ， xiù páo huī wǔ ， cóng tā de yī xiù zhōng 。 fēi chū wú shù de duǎn gē 。
至于那皂袍老者，当然也不会闲着，袖袍挥舞，从他的衣袖中。飞出无数的短戈。
Boom!
“ bù zhī sǐ huó ！”
“不知死活！”
The gale-force winds scattered as their punches collided mid-air.
lín xuān yě bèi liǎng rén jī qǐ le zhēn huǒ 。
林轩也被两人激起了真火。
The middle-aged man with the surname Lu felt an overwhelming force that he couldn’t resist or avoid. His throat turned sweet, and he flew out like a piece of tattered cloth.
yě nán guài tā shēng qì ， zì jǐ zhè shì zhāo shuí rě shuí le 。
也难怪他生气，自己这是招谁惹谁了。
"Junior Brother!"
gāng gāng wán chéng le chuán sòng 。 dào méi dào dá yǔ tóng jiè dōu bù hǎo shuō ， jiù mò míng qí miào bèi rén gěi fú jī le 。
刚刚完成了传送。到没到达雨桐界都不好说，就莫名其妙被人给伏击了。
The elderly man in black was both shocked and angry. Though he had harbored thoughts of death, he hadn't expected such a stark difference in strength; his junior brother was already overwhelmed after just one exchange.
gōng jī měng è ， ruò bú shì zì jǐ de shí lì yuǎn chāo tóng jiē xǔ duō ， xiàn zài jí biàn méi yǒu yǔn luò ， yě fēi shēn shòu zhòng shāng bù kě 。
攻击猛恶，若不是自己的实力远超同阶许多，现在即便没有陨落，也非身受重伤不可。
But with formidable enemies surrounding them, there was no time for him to be distracted.
sú huà shuō ， ní rén shàng yǒu sān fēn huǒ xìng ， gèng hé kuàng shì xiū xiān zhě 。
俗话说，泥人尚有三分火性，更何况是修仙者。
A strange laughter echoed as a giant ghost claw descended from the sky. Even before it reached them, the wind stung their faces. He didn’t dare hesitate and raised both hands to manipulate his treasure against the attack.
lín xuān suī rán bù xiǎng xī lǐ hú tú de yǔ duì fāng duì shǒu ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， què shì duì fāng qī rén tài shèn le 。
林轩虽然不想稀里糊涂的与对方对手，但此时此刻，却是对方欺人太甚了。
However, he heard a sharp command: "Go!"
suǒ wèi jiàn zài xián shàng bù dé bù fā ， duì fāng zhè shì zài bī zì jǐ jiāng tā men dòng shǒu ná xià 。
所谓箭在弦上不得不发，对方这是在逼自己将他们动手拿下。
Before he could react, countless piercing sounds filled the air. Before his eyes, a silver sword rain surged like a raging wave, rushing towards him.
nǎo hǎi zhōng de niàn tou rú diàn guāng huǒ shí ， lín xuān liǎn shàng ， shǎn guò yī sī lì qì 。 yǎn jiàn duì fāng gōng jī yǐ dào le jìn chù ， lín xuān bù shǎn bù duǒ ， yíng zhe duì fāng nà yī quán zhí chōng shàng qù le 。
脑海中的念头如电光火石，林轩脸上，闪过一丝戾气。眼见对方攻击已到了近处，林轩不闪不躲，迎着对方那一拳直冲上去了。
Even late-stage Tribulation Transcendence cultivators couldn’t ignore this.
yìng pèng yìng suàn bú shì shén me hǎo de xuǎn zé ， rán ér miàn duì qū qū yī dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， zhè què shì zuì wèi jiǎn dān zhí jiē de zhāo shù 。
硬碰硬算不是什么好的选择，然而面对区区一渡劫初期的修仙者，这却是最为简单直接的招数。
The elderly man in black was shocked and ignored the ghost claw above him. He bit his tongue to expel his命魂 essence, and the short spears before him glowed fiercely as they clashed with the Nine Palaces Sword.
gāng fēng sì shè ， liǎng rén de quán jìn ， zài bàn kōng zhōng jī zhuàng zài yì qǐ 。
罡风四射，两人的拳劲，在半空中激撞在一起。
His own命魂 treasure couldn’t withstand it; he hadn’t even thought of an escape plan when he was hit by the ghost claw from above and slammed into the ground.
nà lǚ xìng zhōng nián rén zhǐ jué yī gǔ páng bó dà lì ， wú kě kàng yù ， yě méi yǒu bàn fǎ duǒ bì ， hóu tóu yī tián ， jiù rú pò bù yì bān de fēi le chū qù 。
那吕姓中年人只觉一股磅礴大力，无可抗御，也没有办法躲避，喉头一甜，就如破布一般的飞了出去。
This was their first joint battle after a thousand years. Time had worn away the traces of immortality, but they were still as well-coordinated as ever.
“ shī dì ！”
“师弟！”
The two early-stage Tribulation Transcendence cultivators were like clay figurines; they were instantly defeated in a single exchange.
zào páo lǎo zhě yòu jīng yòu nù ， suī rán tā xīn zhōng yǐ méng sǐ zhì ， dàn yě méi xiǎng dào shuāng fāng shí lì de chā jù huì rú cǐ lí pǔ ， jī hū shì yí gè zhào miàn de gōng fu ， shī dì jiù dǐ dí bú zhù 。
皂袍老者又惊又怒，虽然他心中已萌死志，但也没想到双方实力的差距会如此离谱，几乎是一个照面的功夫，师弟就抵敌不住。
All the Cloud Island cultivators watched this clearly. Even some commoners witnessed it firsthand.
rán ér qiáng dí huán shì zài cè ， yòu nǎ ér yǒu shí jiān ràng tā fēn xīn páng wù 。
然而强敌环视在侧，又哪儿有时间让他分心旁骛。
Everyone's eyes widened with disbelief. Though most had never seen the Supreme Elders, their portraits were well-known, even worshipped as deities by many commoners.
gā gā de guài xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tiān kōng zhōng ， yī jù dà de guǐ zhǎo hōng rán ér luò 。
嘎嘎的怪笑声传入耳朵，天空中，一巨大的鬼爪轰然而落。
This wasn’t surprising to them; in the eyes of ordinary people, cultivators could move mountains and rivers, fly through clouds—already incredibly powerful. Early-stage Tribulation Transcendence was among the top ranks, so they wouldn’t be much different from gods.
shàng wèi zhì ， jìng fēng yǐ shì guā liǎn shēng téng ， tā dà jīng zhī xià ， zì rán bù gǎn yǒu rèn hé dài màn zhī yì ， máng shuāng shǒu tái qǐ ， xiǎng yào cāo zòng fǎ bǎo dǐ dí 。
尚未至，劲风已是刮脸生疼，他大惊之下，自然不敢有任何怠慢之意，忙双手抬起，想要操纵法宝抵敌。
But now, these revered Supreme Elders were like clay figurines, defeated in a single exchange.
rán ér ěr biān què tīng jiàn yī shēng duàn hē ：“ qù ！”
然而耳边却听见一声断喝：“去！”
Such absurdity would be hard to believe if not seen with one's own eyes.
Lin Xuan's heart was filled with shock and anger. He flicked his sleeves, intending to summon a defensive treasure, but instead, he heard the "kukuku" laughter of Yue'er, who moved even faster this time.
She waved her jade hand, instantly creating a thick mist of dark wind that sounded like a chorus of ten thousand ghosts crying. A dense, ink-like aura enveloped both of them.

Clank!

This was their first joint battle after a thousand years. Time had worn away the traces of immortality, but they were still as well-coordinated as ever.
