táng láng bǔ chán huáng què zài hòu ， qiáng zhōng zì yǒu qiáng zhōng shǒu 。
螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后，强中自有强中手。
The mantis catches the cicada, but the oriole is behind. Even among the strong, there are stronger.
lín xuān mǎn miàn cuò è ， tā yǔ yuè ér xiāng jù yě yǒu yī duàn shí jiān le ， dàn duì yú xiǎo yā tou de shén tōng jiū jìng rú hé ， guān zhù què bú shì tài duō ， yì zhí měng lǐ měng dǒng de 。
林轩满面错愕，他与月儿相聚也有一段时间了，但对于小丫头的神通究竟如何，关注却不是太多，一直懵里懵懂的。
Lin Xuan was taken aback. He had spent some time with Moon for a while, but he hadn't paid much attention to her true abilities. He remained somewhat clueless about it all.
xī rì ， ā xiū luó wáng ràng sān jiè shè fú ， rán ér rú jīn de yuè ér yǔ qí bì jìng yǒu zhe bù tóng zhī chù ， jì de chū jiàn miàn shí ， tā lián yōu guǐ yì dǎ bù guò ， lín xuān biàn xiǎng zhe xiǎo yā tou de shén tōng bù wài rú shì bà le 。
昔日，阿修罗王让三界慑服，然而如今的月儿与其毕竟有着不同之处，记得初见面时，她连幽鬼亦打不过，林轩便想着小丫头的神通不外如是罢了。
In the past, the Asura King had subdued the Three Realms, yet Moon was different from him now. When they first met, she couldn’t even defeat a ghost. Lin Xuan thought that her powers were limited like that.
lín xuān bù zài yì 。
林轩不在意。
Lin Xuan didn't care much about this.
tā cóng méi yǒu xiǎng zhe yào yī kào yuè ér de shì lì ， nán zi hàn dà zhàng fū qǐ néng rú cǐ méi gǔ qì ， xiǎng yào zài sān jiè lì zú ， dāng rán hái shì yào kào zì jǐ 。
他从没有想着要依靠月儿的势力，男子汉大丈夫岂能如此没骨气，想要在三界立足，当然还是要靠自己。
He never relied on Moon's power; a man of honor wouldn’t be so spineless. To establish himself in the Three Realms, he had to rely on his own strength.
jiù rú tā dāng nián céng duì yuè ér shuō guò ， cóng cǐ yǐ hòu ， wǒ lái bǎo hù nǐ 。
就如他当年曾对月儿说过，从此以后，我来保护你。
Just as he once said to Moon, "From now on, I will protect you."
shì yì shí yí ， dàn zhè shì yán lín xuān què cóng méi yǒu wàng jì 。
事易时移，但这誓言林轩却从没有忘记。
Though times changed, Lin Xuan didn't forget that vow.
suǒ yǐ yuè ér shí lì rú hé ， shì qiáng shì ruò ， lín xuān dōu háo bù zài hū 。
所以月儿实力如何，是强是弱，林轩都毫不在乎。
Thus, whether Moon was strong or weak made no difference to him.
kě yǎn qián de yí mù ， hái shì ràng lín xuān dà gǎn cuò è ， yuán lái zì jǐ zhēn jiāng nà yā tou xiǎo kàn le ， bié de shén tōng zàn qiě bù tí ， zhè shǒu yǐn nì qián cáng zhī shù ， biàn shì zì jǐ ， yě wàng chén mò jí 。
可眼前的一幕，还是让林轩大感错愕，原来自己真将那丫头小看了，别的神通暂且不提，这手隐匿潜藏之术，便是自己，也望尘莫及。
But what happened before left Lin Xuan utterly shocked. He had truly underestimated the girl. While other abilities were not discussed, her concealment technique was beyond his reach.
kě yǐ shuō xiāng chà yuǎn le qù 。
可以说相差远了去。
It was a significant gap.
è rén zì yǒu è rén mó ， bái hǔ hái bù zhī dào wēi xiǎn yǐ qiǎo rán lái dào le jìn chù 。
恶人自有恶人磨，白虎还不知道危险已悄然来到了近处。
Evil men have their own grinders; White Tiger didn't know that danger was creeping close.
yuè ér hún shēn shàng xià fēn háo qì xī bù lù ， jù lí bái hǔ yǐ bù guò shí zhàng de jù lí le 。
月儿浑身上下分毫气息不露，距离白虎已不过十丈的距离了。
Moon's entire body emitted no trace of aura as she approached within ten zhang of White Tiger.
yù shǒu tái qǐ ， wǔ sè liú lí ， yī chǐ xǔ zhǎng de yù hé fú xiàn ér qǐ 。
玉手抬起，五色琉璃，一尺许长的玉盒浮现而起。
She raised her jade hand, and a colorful glass box about a foot long appeared before her eyes.
měi lì xuàn mù ， piān piān méi yǒu tòu lù chū yī fēn yī háo de qì xī 。
美丽炫目，偏偏没有透露出一分一毫的气息。
Beautiful yet inconspicuous, it failed to reveal any hint of its presence.
zhè míng xiǎn wéi fǎn cháng lǐ ， biàn shì xiān tiān líng bǎo yě zuò bú dào 。
这明显违反常理，便是先天灵宝也做不到。
This violated common sense; even先天灵宝 couldn't do that.
rán ér xiān tiān zhī wù gù rán zhēn xī ， yòu rú hé néng yǔ xuán yīn bǎo hé xiāng bǐ 。
然而先天之物固然珍稀，又如何能与玄阴宝盒相比。
However, the rarity of先天之物 was no match for the玄阴宝盒.
ā xiū luó wáng de běn mìng bǎo wù ， yōng yǒu qiān biàn wàn huà de xiào guǒ 。
阿修罗王的本命宝物，拥有千变万化的效果。
The Asura King's personal treasure could transform in myriad ways.
dàn jiàn líng máng dà zuò ， méi yǒu yī sī qì xī tòu chū ， rán ér yù hé yǐ píng kōng xiāo shī le ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī bǐng duǎn jiàn 。
但见灵芒大做，没有一丝气息透出，然而玉盒已凭空消失了，取而代之的是一柄短剑。
Suddenly, a burst of spiritual light appeared without revealing any aura. The glass box vanished into thin air, replaced by a short sword.
zào xíng qí tè 。 jiàn bǐng jū rán bǐ jiàn rèn hái yào zhǎng dé duō ， jiàn bǐng biǎo miàn ， gēng shēng chū jǐ gēn téng tiáo mú yàng de dōng xī ， jiāng yuè ér de shǒu bì jǐn jǐn chán zhù 。
造型奇特。剑柄居然比剑刃还要长得多，剑柄表面，更生出几根藤条模样的东西，将月儿的手臂紧紧缠住。
Its design was unique; the handle was longer than the blade itself. Several vine-like tendrils wrapped around Moon’s arm tightly.
suí hòu yuè ér yù shǒu gāo jǔ ， hěn hěn de cháo zhe xià fāng huī luò ér qù 。
随后月儿玉手高举，狠狠的朝着下方挥落而去。
Moon raised her hand and struck downward with great dexterity, silently and swiftly.
dòng zuò líng qiǎo yǐ jí ， zhěng gè guò chéng gèng shì wú shēng wú xī ， yī lǚ liàng lì de jīng sī chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
动作灵巧以极，整个过程更是无声无息，一缕亮丽的晶丝出现在了视线里。
A bright crystal thread appeared in Lin Xuan's vision.
yī shǎn jí shì ， shì huǎn shí jí ， cháo zhe xià fāng pī cì ér qù 。
一闪即逝，似缓实急，朝着下方劈刺而去。
It flashed past, slow yet fast, slicing towards White Tiger.
lín xuān shēn zài yuǎn chù 。 què yě kàn dé fēn míng qīng chǔ 。
林轩身在远处。却也看得分明清楚。
Lin Xuan, far away, could see it clearly.
yī gǔ tàn wéi guān zhǐ de gǎn jué xí shàng xīn tóu 。
一股叹为观止的感觉袭上心头。
He was awed by the technique.
zhè yī zhāo wēi lì qiě bù shuō ， yòng yú tōu xí ， dàng zhēn chēng de shàng tiān yī wú fèng 。
这一招威力且不说，用于偷袭，当真称得上天衣无缝。
Not only did its power impress him, but its use as a stealth attack was flawless.
méi cuò ， tiān yī wú fèng ！
没错，天衣无缝！
Indeed, flawless!
lín xuān jīng xīn sī suǒ ， ruò shì zì jǐ yǔ bái hǔ yì dì ér chǔ 。 zhè yī jī ， duō bàn bù néng duǒ guò 。
林轩精心思索，若是自己与白虎易地而处。这一击，多半不能躲过。
If he were in White Tiger’s position, this strike would likely have hit him. Moon's target was White Tiger’s head. A direct hit would surely cripple it, if not kill it.
ér yuè ér fēi mù biāo ， zhēn shì bái hǔ de tóu lú 。
而月儿飞目标，真是白虎的头颅。
Lin Xuan was elated; such an opportunity shouldn't be missed.
yí dàn mìng zhòng ， jiù suàn bù néng ràng cǐ zhēn líng shēn shǒu yì chù ， jiāng qí zhòng chuāng shì bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de 。
一旦命中，就算不能让此真灵身首异处，将其重创是百分之百的。
He took a deep breath and summoned all his power to give White Tiger another blow when the moment was right.
lín xuān xīn zhōng dà xǐ ， zhè me hǎo de jī huì qǐ huì fàng qì 。
林轩心中大喜，这么好的机会岂会放弃。
However, just as he prepared to act, something unexpected happened.
shēn shēn hū xī ， yǐ yùn qǐ hún shēn de fǎ lì 。 zhǔn bèi chǒu zhǔn shí jī ， gěi bái hǔ bǔ shàng yī jī 。
深深呼吸，已运起浑身的法力。准备瞅准时机，给白虎补上一击。
A survivor from Cloud Rainbow Island watched Moon’s sword strike. White Tiger, unaware of danger, didn’t dodge. Startled, the man let out an "Ah" involuntarily.
rán ér piān piān jiù zài zhè shí ， yì biàn tū qǐ 。
然而偏偏就在这时，异变突起。
He wasn't trying to warn White Tiger; it was a mere reflex due to his surprise.
yún xiá dǎo shàng yī míng xìng cún de xiū xiān zhě ， yǎn kàn zhe yuè ér yī jiàn zhǎn chū 。 nà bái hǔ què měng dǒng wú zhī ， duǒ dōu bù duǒ ， cuò è zhī xià ， rěn bú zhù “ a ” de yī shēng jiào chū lái le 。
云霞岛上一名幸存的修仙者，眼看着月儿一剑斩出。那白虎却懵懂无知，躲都不躲，错愕之下，忍不住“啊”的一声叫出来了。
But a small mistake could change everything. That unintentional sound altered the course of events.
tā dāng rán bú shì yǒu xīn yào tí xǐng bái hǔ 。 zhǐ shì jīng yà zhī xià ， wú yì jiān fā chū de shēng yīn bà le 。
他当然不是有心要提醒白虎。只是惊讶之下，无意间发出的声音罢了。
Lin Xuan's expression turned grim.
rán ér chā zhī háo lí 。 miù yǐ qiān lǐ ， zhè wú yì jiān fā chū de shēng yīn ， què zú yǐ gǎi biàn zhàn jú 。
然而差之毫厘。谬以千里，这无意间发出的声音，却足以改变战局。
Without time for further thought, he flicked his sleeves and an ancient scroll flew out.
lín xuān de liǎn sè ， yī xià zi biàn dé nán kàn wú bǐ 。
林轩的脸色，一下子变得难看无比。
Crimson light flickered as primordial energy surged in.
cǐ kè yě lái bù jí duō xiǎng shén me ， dàn jiàn tā xiù páo yī fú ， yī fù gǔ piáo de huà juàn jiù cóng yī xiù zhōng fēi lüè ér 。
此刻也来不及多想什么，但见他袖袍一拂，一副古朴的画卷就从衣袖中飞掠而。
The Scroll of Immortal Sword!
biǎo miàn cuì máng tūn tǔ ， tiān dì yuán qì fēng yōng ér rù 。
表面翠芒吞吐，天地元气蜂拥而入。
Lin Xuan raised both hands and cast several spells.
xiān jiàn tú ！
仙剑图！
The scroll unfolded, emitting countless fine threads of light.
lín xuān shuāng shǒu tái qǐ ， jǐ dào fǎ jué jiē lián dǎ chū 。
林轩双手抬起，几道法诀接连打出。
A piercing sound echoed through the air.
xiān jiàn tú zhǎn kāi ， wú shù xì ruò yóu sī de guāng xiàn yóu lǐ miàn pēn bó chū lái 。
仙剑图展开，无数细若游丝的光线由里面喷薄出来。
Instantly, these threads transformed into sharp sword qi.
pò kōng shēng dà zuò 。
破空声大做。
With overwhelming force, they seemed to cut everything in their path.
zhuǎn shùn jiān ， zhè xiē guāng xiàn dōu biàn chéng xī lì de jiàn qì le 。
转瞬间，这些光线都变成犀利的剑气了。
"Primordial object!"
jiā wàn jūn zhī shì ， fǎng fú yào jiāng suǒ yǒu de dōng xī quán bù zhǎn chú 。
夹万钧之势，仿佛要将所有的东西全部斩除。
The two Cloud Rainbow disciples were shocked and delighted. Ignoring their injuries, they cast several spells as well.
“ xiān tiān zhī wù ！”
“先天之物！”
Mystic Black Dragon and Flying Snake lunged at White Tiger with great ferocity.
yún xiá pài de liǎng rén ， yòu jīng yòu xǐ ， yě gù bù dé zì jǐ de shāng shì ， jǐ dào fǎ jué diǎn chū 。
云霞派的两人，又惊又喜，也顾不得自己的伤势，几道法诀点出。
As for White Tiger, Moon’s stealthy strike hadn’t initially raised any alarms. However, the survivor's exclamation caught its attention.
mò jiāo fēi shé ， cháo zhe bái hǔ hěn hěn de pū guò qù le 。
墨蛟飞蛇，朝着白虎狠狠的扑过去了。
It turned slightly, only to notice something amiss in the corner of its eye.
zài shuō bái hǔ ， yuè ér nà yǐn bì yì cháng de yī jī ， yuán běn tā bìng méi yǒu fā xiàn bù tuǒ 。
再说白虎，月儿那隐蔽异常的一击，原本它并没有发现不妥。
White Tiger was alarmed but couldn't dodge or defend in time.
rán ér nà xiū shì de yī shēng qīng yí ， què yǐn qǐ le tā de zhù yì 。
然而那修士的一声轻咦，却引起了它的注意。
Roar!
wēi wēi zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， cái gāng gāng yí dòng ， yǎn jiǎo de yú guāng jiù fā xiàn le bù tuǒ 。
微微转过头颅，才刚刚移动，眼角的余光就发现了不妥。
In shock and anger, it tried to turn its head sharply.
bái hǔ dà jīng shī sè ， dàn zhè shí hòu ， yǐ jīng lái bù jí duǒ ， gèng bié shuō xiǎng bàn fǎ fáng yù le 。
白虎大惊失色，但这时候，已经来不及躲，更别说想办法防御了。
The movement was swift, but too late. It managed to avoid a critical area but lost its right front paw to the sword qi.
hǒu ！
吼！
Painful as it was, White Tiger had no time to tend to its wounds or get angry. Lin Xuan activated the Scroll of Immortal Sword, sending countless sword qi like a storm from all directions.
jīng nù zhī xià ， tā zhǐ néng měng rán cè guò tóu lú 。
惊怒之下，它只能猛然侧过头颅。
The attacks were too precise; a single misstep could lead to its soul being scattered here.
dòng zuò bù kě wèi bù xùn sù ， dàn yǐ jīng wǎn le ， miǎn qiǎng jiāng yào hài duǒ guò ， yī zhī qián zhǎo què bèi zhǎn zhōng 。
动作不可谓不迅速，但已经晚了，勉强将要害躲过，一只前爪却被斩中。
Mystic Black Dragon and Flying Snake weren't taken seriously compared to the sword qi. The two Cloud Rainbow disciples were merely distractions. These mysterious men and women posed the real threat.
nà jiàn qì bìng bù qǐ yǎn ， xì ruò yóu sī yì bān ， dàn wēi lì què lìng rén zé shé ， xuè huā bèng jiàn ér chū ， bái hǔ de yòu qián zhǎo ， jū rán bèi hěn hěn zhǎn luò 。
那剑气并不起眼，细若游丝一般，但威力却令人咋舌，血花迸溅而出，白虎的右前爪，居然被狠狠斩落。
But it was too late for them to realize this.
téng tòng bù bì tí 。
疼痛不必提。
The situation was perilous, but as a powerful true spirit, White Tiger wouldn’t give up so easily.
dàn bái hǔ yǐ lái bù jí guǒ shāng huò shì fā nù ， yīn wèi lín xuān yǐ jīng cuī dòng xiān jiàn tú ， wàn qiān jiàn qì rú kuáng fēng zhòu yǔ ， cóng sì miàn bā fāng ， jiāng tā tuán tuán wéi zhù 。
但白虎已来不及裹伤或是发怒，因为林轩已经催动仙剑图，万千剑气如狂风骤雨，从四面八方，将它团团围住。
A deafening roar echoed in its ears. Its eyes glowed with ferocity, emitting one after another of its runes from its massive body.
gōng jī tài xī lì le ， yí gè yìng fù bù hǎo ， jiù yǒu kě néng hún fēi pò sàn yú cǐ chù 。
攻击太犀利了，一个应付不好，就有可能魂飞魄散于此处。
The originally grayish sky darkened further.
zhì yú mò jiāo yǔ fēi shé ， tā dào méi yǒu fàng zài yǎn zhōng ， yǔ jiàn qì xiāng bǐ ， tā men xiǎn de bù zhí yī tí 。
至于墨蛟与飞蛇，它倒没有放在眼中，与剑气相比，它们显得不值一提。
Empty space seemed like ripples on the surface of a small lake stirred by the wind.
yún xiá pài de liǎng rén ， bù guò shì péi chèn ér yǐ ， zhè duì shén mì de nán nǚ ， cái shì zú yǐ wēi xié dào zì jǐ de dà dí 。
云霞派的两人，不过是陪衬而已，这对神秘的男女，才是足以威胁到自己的大敌。
Mirrors appeared before their eyes, thin as cicada wings but incredibly sturdy—transformed into this form by White Tiger's roar.
rán ér xiàn zài cái zhī dào zhè xiē ， yǐ jīng wǎn le xiē 。
然而现在才知道这些，已经晚了些。
Using his power to such an extent was truly impressive.
chǔ jìng wēi xiǎn wú bǐ ， dàn bái hǔ shēn wèi qiáng dà de zhēn líng zhī yī ， zì rán bú huì shù shǒu dài bì 。
处境危险无比，但白虎身为强大的真灵之一，自然不会束手待毙。
The runes that had previously drifted from its body now mixed with these mirrors. The surface of the mirrors glowed brightly.
áo ！
嗷！
In the next moment, the majestic sword qi hit like a storm, colliding fiercely.
jīng tiān dòng dì de páo xiāo chuán rù ěr duǒ ， bái hǔ de yǎn zhōng xiōng guāng sì shè ， yí gè yòu yí gè de fú wén yóu tā xióng zhuàng de shēn tǐ zhōng piāo chū 。
惊天动地的咆哮传入耳朵，白虎的眼中凶光四射，一个又一个的符文由它雄壮的身体中飘出。
Like raindrops on autumn lotuses, the golden mirrors began to ripple rapidly, as if they might be breached at any moment.
yuán běn huī bái de tiān kōng ， biàn dé gèng jiā de yīn àn wú bǐ 。
原本灰白的天空，变得更加的阴暗无比。
But each time, they managed to repel the attacks. White Tiger’s defenses were formidable indeed.
xū wú de kōng jiān ， què fǎng fú yī tán bèi fēng chuī zhòu de xiǎo hú ， dàng qǐ le piàn piàn de lián yī 。
虚无的空间，却仿佛一潭被风吹皱的小湖，荡起了片片的涟漪。
"Hmph!"
suí hòu yí gè yòu yí gè fǎng fú jìng zi yì bān de bǎo wù chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
随后一个又一个仿佛镜子一般的宝物出现在了视线里。
Lin Xuan's expression was grim with disdain.
suī báo rú chán yì ， dàn què jiān yìng yǐ jí 。
虽薄如蝉翼，但却坚硬以极。
How could White Tiger withstand his primordial object?
zhè shì yóu bái hǔ xiào shēng de yīn bō biàn huà ér chéng dì 。
这是由白虎啸声的音波变化而成地。
Defenses would eventually break down sooner or later.
jiāng fǎ lì yùn yòng dào zhè zhǒng chéng dù ， dàng zhēn lìng rén tàn wéi guān zhǐ 。
将法力运用到这种程度，当真令人叹为观止。
He had full confidence in this.
ér xiān qián ， yóu tā shēn tǐ piāo sàn ér chū de fú wén ， yǔ zhè xiē jìng zi hùn hé ， dùn shí ， qí biǎo miàn de líng guāng yào mù 。
而先前，由它身体飘散而出的符文，与这些镜子混合，顿时，其表面的灵光耀目。
Though White Tiger had gone mad, its mind remained clear. He knew the risks of a direct confrontation.
xià yī kè ， nà màn tiān huī hóng de jiàn qì ， yǐ rú jí fēng zhòu yǔ ， hěn hěn de zhuàng le shàng qù 。
下一刻，那漫天恢宏的剑气，已如疾风骤雨，狠狠的撞了上去。
Breaking through the encirclement wouldn’t be easy; he might die here.
rú yǔ dǎ qiū hé ， tiān kōng zhōng nà yí gè gè jīn guāng sì shè de bǎo jìng ， dùn shí jí sù dàng yàng qǐ lái le ， fǎng fú suí shí yǒu kě néng bèi gōng pò 。
如雨打秋荷，天空中那一个个金光四射的宝镜，顿时急速荡漾起来了，仿佛随时有可能被攻破。
He wanted to escape but found it difficult. The Scroll of Immortal Sword was formidable, and the other three also used their treasures to attack fiercely. Escaping wasn't straightforward.
dàn měi yī cì ， yòu dōu huà xiǎn wéi yí ， bái hǔ de fáng yù ， què shí lìng rén bù gǎn xiǎo shì 。
但每一次，又都化险为夷，白虎的防御，确实令人不敢小视。
