第三千四百四十八章 鱼目混珠

hǔ luò píng yáng bèi quǎn qī ， lóng yóu qiǎn tān shòu xiā xì 。

虎落平阳被犬欺，龙游浅滩受虾戏。

Hawk falls to the plain and is bullied by dogs; dragon swims in shallow waters and is teased by shrimp.

bái hǔ cǐ kè de chǔ jìng ， kě yǐ shuō shì bù lì yǐ jí 。

白虎此刻的处境，可以说是不利以极。

White Tiger's current situation could be described as extremely unfavorable. But it naturally would not sit idly and await death.

dàn tā zì rán bú huì shù shǒu dài bì 。

但它自然不会束手待毙。

"Aaaah!"

“ áo ！”

“嗷！”

The deafening roar entered his ears, and suddenly, his eyes turned red with intense light, while his figure became blurry, shrinking to a hundred times smaller in an instant.

zhèn tiān dòng dì de páo xiāo chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tā de liǎng zhǐ yǎn jīng tū rán hóng máng dà zuò ， shēn xíng què yī zhèn mó hú ， zhuǎn shùn jiān suō xiǎo le bǎi bèi hái duō 。

震天动地的咆哮传入耳朵，它的两只眼睛突然红芒大做，身形却一阵模糊，转瞬间缩小了百倍还多。

It transformed into a tiny white tiger no more than a foot long.

biàn chéng le yī shēn cháng bù guò chǐ xǔ de mí nǐ bái hǔ 。

变成了一身长不过尺许的迷你白虎。

Though its body size had shrunk, the aura it emitted did not weaken at all; rather, it seemed even stronger.

tǐ xíng biàn xiǎo le ， rán ér hún shēn suǒ sàn fà chū lái de qì shì ， què méi yǒu yī sī yī háo jiǎn ruò ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō fǎn ér qiáng dà le xǔ duō 。

体形变小了，然而浑身所散发出来的气势，却没有一丝一毫减弱，甚至可以说反而强大了许多。

Roar!

hǒu ！

吼！

The white tiger let out a roar as two different colored spiritual lights—milky white and golden—emerged from its body surface.

nà bái hǔ yǎng tiān páo xiāo ， shēn tǐ biǎo miàn fēn bié yǒu rǔ bái yǔ chì jīn liǎng zhǒng bù tóng yán sè de líng guāng pēn bó 。

那白虎仰天咆哮，身体表面分别有乳白与赤金两种不同颜色的灵光喷薄。

These lights coalesced into a light ball that enveloped its entire body. Vast amounts ofthe power of laws (lawful power) mixed with chaotic demon energy surrounded it, creating a piercing sound as rays of light shot out from its body.

suí hòu huà wèi le yí gè guāng qiú ， jiāng tā de zhěng gè shēn qū bāo guǒ 。

随后化为了一个光球，将它的整个身躯包裹。

This was no ordinary elemental spell; the power was astonishing. It managed to block all the sword rain, and Moon and Cloud Pavilion's attacks were equally helpless against it.

páng dà de fǎ zé zhī lì ， yǔ hùn dùn yāo qì hùn zá zài yì qǐ ， bāo guǒ zhù tā de shēn qū ， suí hòu pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， yī méi méi de guāng shǐ jū rán yóu bái hǔ de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn sǎn shè ér chū 。

庞大的法则之力，与混沌妖气混杂在一起，包裹住它的身躯，随后破空声大做，一枚枚的光矢居然由白虎的身体表面散射而出。

"Hmm, you really are willing to use your primordial force," Lin Xuan thought with disdain on his face but extreme caution in his heart.

zhè kě bú shì shén me pǔ tōng de wǔ xíng fǎ shù 。

这可不是什么普通的五行法术。

The tiger must be fighting for its life!

wēi lì zhī dà lìng rén zé shé 。

威力之大令人咋舌。

With this realization, Lin Xuan would not ignore the situation. He acted first; better to strike first and suffer no harm later. Lin Xuan had already summoned the Immortal Sword Diagram, but he still had other treasures at his disposal.

yī shí zhī jiān ， jū rán jiāng mǎn tiān jiàn yǔ dǎng zhù ， yuè ér yǔ yún xiá pài liǎng rén de gōng jī ， tóng yàng ná qí shì wú kě nài hé 。

一时之间，居然将满天剑雨挡住，月儿与云霞派两人的攻击，同样拿其是无可奈何。

Nine Palaces Momentary Sword naturally was the most convenient choice. Silver light shone as nine radiant lotuses appeared in mid-air, slowly rotating before blossoming one by one. Soon, a chill emanated from them, and countless sword threads shot out.

“ hēi ， běn yuán zhī lì ， nǐ hái dàng zhēn shě de 。”

“嘿，本源之力，你还当真舍得。”

Instantly, piercing sounds filled the air as those sword threads weaved through the sky, quickly forming nets that blocked all possible escape routes for the white tiger. The web of heaven was no different.

lín xuān yǐ fēi chū rù xiān dào de cài niǎo le ， bái hǔ cǐ kè dòng yòng de shén me shén tōng tā zì rán yì qīng èr chǔ ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì bù xiè zhī sè ， xīn zhōng què shì dà wèi jǐng tì de 。

林轩已非初入仙道的菜鸟了，白虎此刻动用的什么神通他自然一清二楚，脸上满是不屑之色，心中却是大为警惕的。

Transforming swords into threads, Lin Xuan had considerable experience. After befriending Immortal Fairy Peach Blossom, he received much guidance from her.

zhè jiā huo ， yào pīn mìng le ！

这家伙，要拼命了！

Now, his performance truly amazed everyone; even Moon did not say anything, but she widened her eyes in amazement.

jì yǒu le zhè ge dùn wù ， lín xuān dāng rán bú huì shì ruò wú dǔ ， xiān xià shǒu wéi qiáng ， hòu xià shǒu zāo yāng ， lín xuān gāng cái jì qǐ le xiān jiàn tú ， dàn bié wàng le ， tā hái yǒu qí tā de bǎo wù 。

既有了这个顿悟，林轩当然不会视若无睹，先下手为强，后下手遭殃，林轩刚才祭起了仙剑图，但别忘了，他还有其他的宝物。

"Master really is remarkable!"

jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zì rán shì zuì wèi chèn shǒu ， dàn jiàn yín máng dà zuò ， jiǔ duǒ cuǐ càn de lián huā zài xū kōng zhōng fú xiàn ér chū 。

九宫须臾剑自然是最为趁手，但见银芒大做，九朵璀璨的莲花在虚空中浮现而出。

In her mind, the scene before her was unbelievable. She shook her shoulder slightly, and a miraculous sight unfolded.

huǎn huǎn zhuǎn dòng ， què shì yī piàn yī piàn de zhàn fàng kāi le 。 suí hòu hán qì sēn rán ， wú shù de jiàn sī yóu lǐ miàn jī shè ér chū 。

缓缓转动，却是一片一片的绽放开了。随后寒气森然，无数的剑丝由里面激射而出。

Several identical young women appeared in mid-air, their appearances and figures indistinguishable from hers. The spiritual pressure they emitted was exactly the same as well.

shà shí jiān ， pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， dàn jiàn nà xiē jiàn sī zài bàn kōng zhōng jiāo zhī chuān suō ， hěn kuài yī zhāng yī zhāng de dà wǎng fú xiàn ér chū ， jiāng bái hǔ néng gòu táo pǎo de jiǎo dù quán bù dǔ zhù ， tiān luó dì wǎng yě bù wài rú shì le 。

霎时间，破空声大做，但见那些剑丝在半空中交织穿梭，很快一张一张的大网浮现而出，将白虎能够逃跑的角度全部堵住，天罗地网也不外如是了。

Even more astonishingly, each of them held aMystic Yin Treasure Box (True Scripture of Profound Yin).

huà jiàn wèi sī ， lín xuān yuán běn jiù pǒ yǒu xīn dé ， yǔ bǎi huā xiān zi yì jié jīn lán yǐ hòu 。 gèng dé dào le tā pǒ duō zhǐ diǎn 。

化剑为丝，林轩原本就颇有心得，与百花仙子义结金兰以后。更得到了她颇多指点。

Was this not an illusion?

cǐ kè shī zhǎn chū lái ， dàng zhēn shì jì jīng sì zuò ， yún xiá pài de liǎng rén bù shuō ， biàn shì yuè ér ， yì dèng dà le yī shuāng měi mù 。

此刻施展出来，当真是技惊四座，云霞派的两人不说，便是月儿，亦瞪大了一双美目。

Lin Xuan's eyes widened in astonishment. Even if his divine consciousness could not discern truth and falsehood, using Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes would be futile.

“ shào yé dàng zhēn liǎo de ！”

“少爷当真了得！”

The Shakra King’s power truly was impressive; he had underestimated Moon far too much earlier.

xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe 。 yuè ér jiān tóu wēi wēi yī dǒu ， bù kě sī yì de yí mù chū xiàn le 。

心中如此想着。月儿肩头微微一抖，不可思议的一幕出现了。

Lin Xuan sighed inwardly but saw the seven or eight young women transformed from Moon simultaneously take action.

dàn jiàn tā shēn xíng yī zhèn mó hú ， qī bā míng yī mú yī yàng de shào nǚ ， zài xū kōng zhōng fú xiàn ér chū 。

但见她身形一阵模糊，七八名一模一样的少女，在虚空中浮现而出。

The True Scripture of Profound Yin emitted light as it transformed into various treasures—daggers, long spears, short swords, and flying swords. Each radiated with an exceptionally thick layer ofthe power of laws (lawful power).

róng mào shēn cái ， yǔ yuè ér jìng shì fēn háo qū bié yě wú ， suǒ sàn fà chū lái de líng yā ， gèng shì yī mú yī yàng 。

容貌身材，与月儿竟是分毫区别也无，所散发出来的灵压，更是一模一样。

Could all these be real?

gèng bù kě sī yì de shì 。 tā men měi yí gè rén de shǒu lǐ ， dōu pěng zhe xuán yīn bǎo hé 。

更不可思议的是。她们每一个人的手里，都捧着玄阴宝盒。

Lin Xuan was truly stunned. Although he had broad experience, he did not believe anyone could deceive him to such a degree.

yú mù hùn zhū ， nán dào zhè bú shì huàn shù ？

鱼目混珠，难道这不是幻术？

But transforming into seven or eight people at once was too incredible; this wasn’t just any kind of spirit division or incarnation technique. Could each one really be Moon?

lín xuān yě bù yóu de dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， rán ér bié shuō shén shí bù néng fēn biàn zhēn jiǎ 。 jiù suàn shì shī zhǎn chū tiān fèng shén mù ， yī yàng méi yǒu yòng tú 。

林轩也不由得瞪大了眼珠，然而别说神识不能分辨真假。就算是施展出天凤神目，一样没有用途。

The Shakra King’s power was indeed astonishingly refined.

ā xiū luó wáng de shén tōng ， guǒ rán shì lìng rén cè mù ， zì jǐ xiān qián 。 wèi miǎn yě tài xiǎo kàn yuè ér le 。

阿修罗王的神通，果然是令人侧目，自己先前。未免也太小看月儿了。

Lin Xuan marveled but did not waste his efforts trying to understand the truth behind it. He could ask Moon about it directly, so why bother? The pressing matter now was to exhaust all his strength and kill the white tiger here.

lín xuān xīn zhōng tàn qì 。

林轩心中叹气。

With this thought, Lin Xuan focused entirely on the task at hand, using both the Immortal Sword Diagram and his innate treasures. Although he couldn’t harm the white tiger, he could at least contain it.

què jiàn nà yóu yuè ér suǒ biàn huà chū lái de qī bā míng shào nǚ ， jī hū tóng shí yǒu le dòng zuò 。

却见那由月儿所变化出来的七八名少女，几乎同时有了动作。

Breaking through would be a futile dream.

xuán yīn bǎo hé guāng máng dà zuò 。

玄阴宝盒光芒大做。

The two from Cloud Pavilion naturally were not idle either. Their strength was slightly inferior but still formidable; they hated the white tiger to the core and did not hold back in their attacks. Their efforts significantly strained the tiger’s energy.

biàn huà chū le shù jiàn bù yí yàng de bǎo wù 。

变化出了数件不一样的宝物。

Though the process seemed complex, it took only an instant.

bǐ shǒu 。 zhǎng gē ， duǎn dāo ， fēi jiàn ， nà shì bù yī ér zú 。

匕首。长戈，短刀，飞剑，那是不一而足。

Seeing Moon transform into seven, the white tiger was equally shocked. However, Lin Xuan's trio of attacks were too tight for it to think about anything else.

měi yī yàng jiē shì líng guāng càn rán ， yǒu hún hòu yì cháng de fǎ zé zhī lì sàn fà ér chū 。

每一样皆是灵光灿然，有浑厚异常的法则之力散发而出。

Desperate, it could only ignore the consumption of its primordial force and create layer upon layer of light screens as protection.

nán dào dōu shì zhēn de ？

难道都是真的？

Though these screens appeared thin, they were formed by using its primordial force, making their power formidable indeed.

lín xuān shì zhēn de mù dèng kǒu dāi le 。

林轩是真的目瞪口呆了。

At this moment, those seven or eight young women rushed forward. The beauties moved swiftly, holding the treasures transformed from the True Scripture of Profound Yin and forcefully smashing them against the light screen in front.

tā suī rán jiàn shí guǎng bó ， què yě bù xiāng xìn yǒu rén néng yǐ jiǎ luàn zhēn dào zhè bān dì bù 。

他虽然见识广博，却也不相信有人能以假乱真到这般地步。

These weapons, though heavy, seemed effortless to hold.

kě yí gè rén biàn huà wèi qī bā gè ， yòu wèi miǎn tài bù kě sī yì le ， yào zhī dào ， zhè kě bú shì shén me pǔ tōng de fēn shén huò zhě huà shēn zhī shù 。

可一个人变化为七八个，又未免太不可思议了，要知道，这可不是什么普通的分神或者化身之术。

Light flashed as countless runes emerged from these magical artifacts.

kě yào shuō zhè měi yí gè dōu shì zhēn de yuè ér ， zhè kě néng me ？

可要说这每一个都是真的月儿，这可能么？

Sizzle...

ā xiū luó wáng de shén tōng ， jū rán jīng miào dào zhè bān dì bù 。

阿修罗王的神通，居然精妙到这般地步。

The thick light screen emitted a dazzling glow but could not withstand it, dissipating instantly.

lín xuān xīn xià zàn tàn bù yǐ ， dào yě bù qù shà fèi kǔ xīn ， tàn jiū cǐ shén tōng de zhēn xiàng rú hé ， xiǎng yào zhī dào ， wèn yī wèn yuè ér bù jiù quán bù qīng chǔ ， hé bì duō cǐ yī jǔ ne ？

林轩心下赞叹不已，倒也不去煞费苦心，探究此神通的真相如何，想要知道，问一问月儿不就全部清楚，何必多此一举呢？

"Impossible..."

dāng wù zhī jí ， hái shì jié jìn quán lì ， jiāng bái hǔ miè shā yú zhè lǐ 。

当务之急，还是竭尽全力，将白虎灭杀于这里。

Though the white tiger did not speak, its eyes widened as if witnessing something inconceivable. These defenses were formed using its own primordial force; their strength was formidable, even comparable toPrimordial Object (primordial objects), so how could they be easily breached?

yī niàn zhì cǐ ， lín xuān bù zài fēn xīn ， jié jìn quán lì ， cāo kòng xiān jiàn tú yǔ běn mìng bǎo wù ， yī shí jiān ， suī shāng bù liǎo bái hǔ ， dàn zhì shǎo yě néng jiāng qí kùn zhù 。

一念至此，林轩不再分心，竭尽全力，操控仙剑图与本命宝物，一时间，虽伤不了白虎，但至少也能将其困住。

Even a late-stageLate Stage of Tribulation Transcendence cultivator might struggle.

xiǎng yào tū wéi ， nà shì chī xīn wàng xiǎng de 。

想要突围，那是痴心妄想的。

But now, pondering this was meaningless.

yún xiá pài de liǎng rén zì rán yě bú huì xián zhe ， tā men de shí lì ， suī rán yào xùn sè yī xiē ， dàn zài chà nà yě shì fēn shén qī ， jué fēi shén me ā māo ā gǒu xiāng bǐ 。

云霞派的两人自然也不会闲着，他们的实力，虽然要逊色一些，但再差那也是分神期，绝非什么阿猫阿狗相比。

Sizzle...

ér qiě liǎng rén hèn bái hǔ rù gǔ ， chū zhāo zì rán bú huì yǒu fēn háo de bǎo liú zhī chù ， pīn mìng zhī xià ， wēi lì yì shì bù sú 。

而且两人恨白虎入骨，出招自然不会有分毫的保留之处，拼命之下，威力亦是不俗。

The first layer of defense broke, just the beginning. The next few layers were torn apart like withering grass and trees, effortlessly.

suī bù gǎn shuō ， gěi bái hǔ zào chéng le duō dà wēi xié ， dàn yě bù gǎn děng xián shì zhī de 。

虽不敢说，给白虎造成了多大威胁，但也不敢等闲视之的。

And those leading young women dispersed as well. The last one holding a long sword emerged.

rú cǐ yī lái ， huò duō huò shǎo ， yě jiù qiān chě le bù shǎo bái hǔ de jīng lì 。

如此一来，或多或少，也就牵扯了不少白虎的精力。

Then, the other young women's figures blurred as they rushed towards her direction.

zhěng gè guò chéng shuō lái fán fù ， qí shí bù guò shùn xī de gōng fu 。

整个过程说来繁复，其实不过瞬息的功夫。

The figures became increasingly indistinct until seven turned into one. Astonishingly, this final Moon’s aura surged dramatically—more than doubled... no, it was several times more, nearly reaching late-stageLate Stage of Tribulation Transcendence.

bái hǔ kàn jiàn yuè ér yī huà wèi qī ， tóng yàng dà jīng shī sè ， kě lín xuān sān rén de gōng jī shí zài tài jǐn le ， tā gēn běn méi yǒu qí tā de jīng lì duō xiǎng shén me 。

白虎看见月儿一化为七，同样大惊失色，可林轩三人的攻击实在太紧了，它根本没有其他的精力多想什么。

"How is this possible?"

wú nài zhī xià ， zhǐ hǎo bù gù běn yuán zhī lì de xiāo mó ， zài shēn tǐ sì zhōu ， huàn huà chū yī céng yòu yī céng de guāng mù fáng hù 。

无奈之下，只好不顾本源之力的消磨，在身体四周，幻化出一层又一层的光幕防护。

Lin Xuan was shocked. He saw the transformed Moon like a celestial being strike the white tiger's head with a sword.

kàn shì hěn báo ， kě zhè xiē guāng mù ， dōu shì tā dòng yòng běn yuán zhī lì cái huàn huà ér chū ， wēi lì zì rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。

看似很薄，可这些光幕，都是它动用本源之力才幻化而出，威力自然非同小可。

Postscript: I'm so frustrated; today was supposed to be normal update day, but my computer had issues and needed two system reinstallations. Now it’s barely usable. Tomorrow, I’ll buy a new one. From now on, updates will definitely be regular.
