cōng míng fǎn bèi cōng míng wù 。.
聪明反被聪明误。.
Cleverness backfires.
fēng lǎo guài wàn wàn méi yǒu liào xiǎng dào zì jǐ de shén tōng ， duì zhè jiā huo jìng méi yǒu yòng tú ， cǐ kè shì chéng qí hǔ ， yóu bù dé tā shǐ yòng bié de zhāo shù 。
风老怪万万没有料想到自己的神通，对这家伙竟没有用途，此刻势成骑虎，由不得他使用别的招数。
Old Monster Wind never expected his divine powers to be useless against this guy. Now, he was in a bind and couldn't use any other techniques.
zhǐ néng shuāng shǒu qí wǔ ， quán dǎ zú tī ， pàn wàng néng jiāng lín xuān miè shā yú zhè lǐ 。
只能双手齐舞，拳打足踢，盼望能将林轩灭杀于这里。
He could only dance with both hands, punching and kicking, hoping to kill Lin Xuan right here.
kě nǎ ér yǒu nà me róng yì ， lín xuān de bǎi líng zhēn jiě tóng yàng shì jué shì mì jí ， lǐ miàn suǒ zài de wǔ gōng shén miào wú bǐ ， lín xuān cǐ kè méi jiāng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn jì chū ， ér shì wò zài shǒu lǐ ， dàng zuò pǔ tōng de bǎo jiàn lái yòng 。
可哪儿有那么容易，林轩的百灵真解同样是绝世秘籍，里面所载的武功神妙无比，林轩此刻没将九宫须臾剑祭出，而是握在手里，当作普通的宝剑来用。
But it wasn’t that easy. The true essence of the Thousand-Swallow Art that Lin Xuan wielded was also an unparalleled secret text. The martial arts described within were incredibly ingenious. Instead of using the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Technique, Lin Xuan held it like a regular sword.
ruò shì qí tā de xiū shì jiàn le ， fēi xiào diào dà yá bù kě 。
若是其他的修士见了，非笑掉大牙不可。
If other cultivators saw this, they would burst out laughing.
rán ér yú zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， què shì zuì hé shì bù guò 。
然而于这种情况，却是最合适不过。
However, in this situation, it was perfect. Sword energy and fist strikes flew everywhere, making it seem as if two martial artists were fighting to the death.
zhǐ jiàn jiàn qì zòng héng ， quán jiǎo fēi wǔ ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， sì hū zhēn xiàng liǎng wèi wǔ lín gāo shǒu zài shēng sǐ xiāng bó 。
只见剑气纵横，拳脚飞舞，一眼望去，似乎真像两位武林高手在生死相搏。
But that was just on the surface. Their speed and ferocity far exceeded what ordinary people could match. Even Mo Er couldn’t intervene.
rán ér nà zhǐ shì biǎo miàn bà le 。
然而那只是表面罢了。
This wasn't idle chatter. Lin Xuan and Old Monster Wind were in close combat. Their strikes were blind, mixed with cosmic laws, each move containing hidden power, their movements swift to an extreme degree.
liǎng rén shēn fǎ zhī kuài ， zhāo shì zhī měng ， yòu nǎ ér shì fán rén kě yǐ qǐ jí 。
两人身法之快，招式之猛，又哪儿是凡人可以企及。
Mo Er wanted to help but the distance between them was too close, and his speed too fast. A misstep could accidentally injure Young Master.
biàn shì yuè ér yě chā bù jìn shǒu qù 。
便是月儿也插不进手去。
As for Pavilion Tower, he could only envy from afar. This Lin boy truly wasn’t ordinary; compared to him, the former Number One Cultivator in the world felt ashamed.
zhè kě bú shì hú yán luàn yǔ ， cǐ kè lín xuān yǔ fēng lǎo guài tiē shēn jìn zhàn ， quán jiǎo wú yǎn ， hái jiā zá zhe tiān dì fǎ zé ， měi yī zhāo de wēi lì ， jiē hán ér bù lù ， shēn fǎ biàn huàn ， gèng shì xùn jí dào le jí diǎn 。
这可不是胡言乱语，此刻林轩与风老怪贴身近战，拳脚无眼，还夹杂着天地法则，每一招的威力，皆含而不露，身法变幻，更是迅疾到了极点。
Actually, Pavilion Tower didn't need to be so self-deprecating. His speed was already off the charts. With Nai Long Immortal looking after him, his innate talents were exceptional.
yuè ér yǒu xīn chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， kě liǎng rén jiān de jù lí tài jìn le ， shēn fǎ yòu tài guò xùn sù ， yí bù xiǎo xīn ， jiù yǒu kě néng wù shāng dào shào yé de 。
月儿有心出手相助，可两人间的距离太近了，身法又太过迅速，一不小心，就有可能误伤到少爷的。
However, Lin Xuan had countless good fortune, making him seem inferior compared to him. Even the former Asura might not have matched this cultivation speed. Looking at the Three Realms and throughout history, perhaps only Field Sword could match Lin Xuan.
zhì yú tíng lóu ， zài zàn tàn zhī yú ， zhǐ néng àn àn xiàn mù 。
至于亭楼，在赞叹之余，只能暗暗羡慕。
Pavilion Tower fell into a gloomy mood, while the female demons were even more helpless.
zhè lín xiǎo zi dàng zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yǔ tā xiāng bǐ ， zì jǐ zhè xī yuē de rén jiè dì yī gāo shǒu ， zhēn shì xiū yú jiàn rén le 。
这林小子当真是非同小可，与他相比，自己这昔曰的人界第一高手，真是羞于见人了。
Old Monster Wind’s divine powers they always admired. They heard that even the Ten Thousand Serpent King had praised him before. A mere peer cultivator should be easily captured, so why couldn’t he control him?
qí shí tíng lóu bù bì wàng zì fěi bó ， tā de ** sù dù yǐ jīng fēi cháng lí pǔ 。
其实亭楼不必妄自菲薄，他的**速度已经非常离谱。
Wasn't it wrong? Human cultivators were known for controlling magical treasures, when did close combat become this formidable?
bì jìng yǒu nài lóng zhēn rén zhào fú ， tā běn shēn de zī zhì ， nà yě shì chū lèi bá cuì dào jí chù 。
毕竟有鼐龙真人照拂，他本身的资质，那也是出类拔萃到极处。
The female demons muttered to themselves but could only watch helplessly.
zhǐ bù guò lín xuān qí yù wú shù ， yǔ tā xiāng bǐ ， tíng lóu dāng rán shì xiǎn de xiāng xíng jiàn zhuō 。
只不过林轩奇遇无数，与他相比，亭楼当然是显得相形见拙。
There were many extraordinary people in the cultivation world, but few had seen such a battle between Old Monster Wind and Lin Xuan.
biàn shì xī yuē de ā xiū luó ， yě bù yí dìng yǒu zhè bān de xiū xíng sù dù ， fàng yǎn sān jiè ， zòng héng jīn gǔ ， huò xǔ zhǐ yǒu tián xiǎo jiàn nà jiā huo ， cái néng yǔ lín xuān bǐ jiān le 。
便是昔曰的阿修罗，也不一定有这般的修行速度，放眼三界，纵横今古，或许只有田小剑那家伙，才能与林轩比肩了。
---
tíng lóu àn rán shī sè ， jǐ míng yāo zú nǚ zǐ ， jiù gèng jiā de shù shǒu wú cè 。
亭楼黯然失色，几名妖族女子，就更加的束手无策。
They relied solely on martial arts, discarding all divine powers and magical treasures. They fought it out with their martial skills alone.
fēng dà gē de shén tōng tā men yí xiàng pèi fú ， tīng shuō biàn shì wàn jiāo wáng ， yě céng jīng chēng zàn guò ， qū qū yī míng tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， àn lǐ shuō ， yīng gāi shǒu dào qín lái de ， zěn me huì zhì tā bú zhù ？
风大哥的神通她们一向佩服，听说便是万蛟王，也曾经称赞过，区区一名同阶修仙者，按理说，应该手到擒来的，怎么会制他不住？
The palm strikes and sword energy were incredibly fierce. Ordinary cultivators would die from mere contact. Everyone couldn’t help retreating.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， rén lèi xiū shì bú shì shàn cháng yù shǐ fǎ bǎo me ， shén me shí hòu tiē shēn duǎn dǎ yě lì hài dào zhè bān dì bù 。
有没有搞错，人类修士不是擅长驭使法宝么，什么时候贴身短打也厉害到这般地步。
Lin Xuan’s Thousand-Swallow Art was obtained from the Heavenly Wind City, a precious secret technique hidden in the treasure vaults of those who had been corrupted by demons. Naturally, it was an outstanding martial art.
jǐ míng yāo nǚ xīn zhōng dí gū ， què yě zhǐ néng zài yī páng gān dèng yǎn 。
几名妖女心中嘀咕，却也只能在一旁干瞪眼。
The Thousand-Swallow Sword Technique he used now was complex and ingenious. Despite Old Monster Wind’s extensive knowledge, he couldn’t find a way to counter it.
xiū xiān jiè qí rén yì shì zhòng duō ， dàn xiàng fēng lǎo guài yǔ lín xuān zhè yàng dòu fǎ ， kǒng pà yě nán yǐ yǒu rén jiàn guò 。
修仙界奇人异士众多，但像风老怪与林轩这样斗法，恐怕也难以有人见过。
Seeing his sword technique helpless against him, Lin Xuan added his left hand to the attack.
liǎng rén chú le tiān dì fǎ zé ， qì suǒ yǒu de fǎ bǎo shén tōng bù yòng ， dān píng wǔ gōng lái yī jué cí xióng 。
两人除了天地法则，弃所有的法宝神通不用，单凭武功来一决雌雄。
His martial arts were even more intricate. Sometimes his fingers formed claws, sometimes they resembled swords. He alternated between palm strikes and punches, occasionally using devastating finger power to strike at the opponent.
zhǎng fēng jiàn qì ， jiē líng lì yǐ jí ， xún cháng xiū shì zhān zhī lì bì ， zhòng rén dōu bù yóu de xiàng hòu tuì qù 。
掌风剑气，皆凌厉以极，寻常修士沾之立毙，众人都不由得向后退去。
Every move tore through the air, creating gaps in space, causing nearby areas to collapse and distort with terrifying force.
lín xuān suǒ xué bǎi líng zhēn jiě ， nǎi yóu tiān fēng chéng suǒ de ， bèi yāo huà zhě zhēn ér zhòng zhī de cáng yú bǎo kù ， zì rán shì yī liǎo bù qǐ de mì shù 。
林轩所学百灵真解，乃由天风城所得，被妖化者珍而重之的藏于宝库，自然是一了不起的秘术。
With one hand wielding a sword and the other punching, this dual focus was truly remarkable. Old Monster Wind gradually found it hard to defend.
cǐ kè de suǒ shǐ bǎi líng jiàn fǎ ， zhāo shù shén miào fán fù ， fēng lǎo guài suī bó cǎi zhòng cháng ， xué le wǔ gōng wú shù ， què yě zhǎo bú dào pò jiě zhī shù 。
此刻的所使百灵剑法，招数神妙繁复，风老怪虽博采众长，学了武功无数，却也找不到破解之术。
He wanted to imitate but ended up like a parrot mimicking speech, his situation worsening.
jiàn jiàn fǎ ná duì fāng wú kě nài hé ， lín xuān zuǒ shǒu yě jiā rù le jìn gōng 。
见剑法拿对方无可奈何，林轩左手也加入了进攻。
After all, focusing on one thing could get things done right. Lin Xuan’s ability to multitask came from having two元婴s. The main元婴 controlled the right hand while the second元婴 manipulated the left, striking and kicking in unison.
suǒ shǐ wǔ gōng què gèng jiā fán fù ， huò wǔ zhǐ chéng zhǎo ， huò bìng zhǐ rú jiàn ， shí ér zhǎng jī ， shí ér yī quán huī qù ， yǒu shí gèng yǐ wú jiān bù cuī de zhǐ lì ， cháo zhe duì fāng diǎn qù 。
所使武功却更加繁复，或五指成爪，或并指如剑，时而掌击，时而一拳挥去，有时更以无坚不摧的指力，朝着对方点去。
Lin Xuan wouldn’t reveal this secret to his enemy. Old Monster Wind, though skilled, couldn't grasp the complexity of it in a rush.
jǔ shǒu tóu zú ， xū kōng què bèi sī chū le yī tiáo tiáo de fèng xì ， fù jìn de kōng jiān ， gèng shì chéng piàn de tā xiàn niǔ qū ， wēi lì hài rén wú bǐ 。
举手投足，虚空却被撕出了一条条的缝隙，附近的空间，更是成片的塌陷扭曲，威力骇人无比。
Imitating him only made things worse for himself. Seizing such an opportunity, Lin Xuan’s palm strikes grew even more powerful!
yòu shǒu shǐ jiàn ， zuǒ shǒu yòng quán ， zhè fēn xīn èr yòng de gōng fu ， dàng zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， fēng lǎo guài jiàn jiàn dǐ dǎng bú zhù 。
右手使剑，左手用拳，这分心二用的功夫，当真是非同小可，风老怪渐渐抵挡不住。
"Got you!"
tā xiǎng yào xiào fǎng ， rán ér què shì yīng wǔ xué shé ， chǔ jìng yuè fā de zāo gāo le 。
他想要效仿，然而却是鹦鹉学舌，处境越发的糟糕了。
Suddenly, he roared and slashed with his sword like snowflakes. Blood splattered as Old Monster Wind's left hand was severed by the blade.
xū zhī yì xīn yí yì ， cái néng jiāng shì qíng zuò hǎo ， lín xuān zhī suǒ yǐ néng fēn xīn èr yòng ， shì yīn wèi yǒu liǎng gè yuán yīng 。
须知一心一意，才能将事情做好，林轩之所以能分心二用，是因为有两个元婴。
If it were a martial arts competition among human cultivators, this would have decided the outcome. But for a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage, losing an arm wasn’t considered serious injury.
zhǔ yuán yīng kòng zhì yòu shǒu ， shī zhǎn bǎi líng jiàn fǎ ， dì èr yuán yīng zé ** zòng zuǒ shǒu ， quán dǎ zú tī ， ér liǎng gè yī tǐ ， gù ér cái néng gòu pèi hé mò qì 。
主元婴控制右手，施展百灵剑法，第二元婴则**纵左手，拳打足踢，而两个一体，故而才能够配合默契。
Lin Xuan knew this and didn’t slack off. He pushed another palm forward.
zhè zhōng jiān de yuán gù ， lín xuān dāng rán bú huì duì dí rén shuō ， ér fēng lǎo guài suī wǔ gōng bù sú ， dàn jí qiè zhī jiān ， què nǎ lǐ xiǎng de dào zhè zhōng jiān huì yǒu rú cǐ qū zhé 。
这中间的缘故，林轩当然不会对敌人说，而风老怪虽武功不俗，但急切之间，却哪里想得到这中间会有如此曲折。
Mystic energy and true qi mixed together, causing space to collapse. This strike contained force laws.
dōng shī xiào pín ， què jiāng zì jǐ nòng dé shì xiǎn xiàng huán shēng ， ér yǐ lín xuān de xìng gé ， zhè me hǎo de jī huì dāng rán bú huì cuò guò 。
东施效颦，却将自己弄得是险象环生，而以林轩的姓格，这么好的机会当然不会错过。
Old Monster Wind tried to dodge but understood that taking the hit was his worst option.
zhǎng fēng jiàn qì ， dōu yuè fā de líng lì ！
掌风剑气，都越发的凌厉！
However, the incoming palm was incredibly bizarre. It seemed like a simple push, yet it blocked all directions he wanted to avoid. A single palm contained profound martial arts.
“ zhe ！”
“着！”
In a hurry, how could he dodge? Reluctantly, he gritted his teeth and countered with a palm strike towards Lin Xuan.
lín xuān tū rán yī shēng dà hē ， jiàn guāng rú xuě bān huī sǎ ér chū ， dàn jiàn xuè huā fēn luò ， fēng lǎo guài de zuǒ shǒu yǐ bèi zhè yī jiàn xuē xià lái le 。
林轩突然一声大喝，剑光如雪般挥洒而出，但见血花纷落，风老怪的左手已被这一剑削下来了。
"Idiot!"
ruò shì wǔ lín zhōng rén bǐ wǔ ， zhè yī jiàn zì rán kě yǐ dìng xià shèng fù ， rán ér duì yú dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， bèi duàn diào yī bì què yě suàn bù liǎo shén me zhòng shāng de 。
若是武林中人比武，这一剑自然可以定下胜负，然而对于渡劫级别的修仙者，被断掉一臂却也算不了什么重伤的。
A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xuan’s mouth. This guy had lost his mind. The fist strikes were out of necessity after being caught up close.
zhè yì diǎn lín xuān xīn lǐ yǒu shù 。
这一点林轩心里有数。
Cultivators wouldn’t rely solely on martial arts to decide a fight. Lin Xuan's palm strike was merely a decoy.
gù ér fēn háo xiè dài yě wú ， yòu shì yī zhǎng cháo zhe duì fāng píng tuī ér chū 。
故而分毫懈怠也无，又是一掌朝着对方平推而出。
As he moved, a thin sword like a cicada’s wing flew from his sleeve.
fǎ lì zhēn qì ， hùn zá zài yì qǐ ， xū kōng yì shì tā xiàn zhuì luò ， zhè yī jī zhī zhōng ， hái yùn hán yǒu lì liàng fǎ zé 。
法力真气，混杂在一起，虚空亦是塌陷坠落，这一击之中，还蕴含有力量法则。
Deception is a weapon in war.
fēng lǎo guài xiǎng duǒ ， tā míng bái yìng jiē nǎi shì xià xià cè 。
风老怪想躲，他明白硬接乃是下下策。
This outcome clearly surprised Old Monster Wind. He tried to duck but still had blood splattering as his chest was pierced through.
rán ér dào lǐ shì rú cǐ méi cuò ， zhè yī zhǎng de lái shì ， què shì qí huàn yǐ jí ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， zhǐ shì píng píng yī jī ， qí shí què jiāng tā xiǎng yào duǒ bì de suǒ yǒu fāng wèi ， quán dōu dǎng zhù ， yī zhǎng zhī zhōng ， shí bāo hán le jí wéi gāo shēn de wǔ yì 。
然而道理是如此没错，这一掌的来势，却是奇幻以极，表面上看，只是平平一击，其实却将他想要躲避的所有方位，全都挡住，一掌之中，实包含了极为高深的武艺。
Lin Xuan’s palm didn’t miss either, breaking bones and dislocating joints.
cāng cù zhī jiān ， tā rú hé néng duǒ ， wàn bān wú nài zhī xià ， zhǐ hǎo yī yǎo yá ， yě shì yī zhǎng xiàng zhe lín xuān pī luò 。
仓促之间，他如何能躲，万般无奈之下，只好一咬牙，也是一掌向着林轩劈落。
Even an old monster at the Tribulation Transcending stage couldn’t ignore such injuries. However, this Old Monster was truly formidable.
“ chǔn huò ！”
“蠢货！”
His eyes glowed with green light, and he spun around, a demon wind rising as he transformed into a four-winged, six-legged bird.
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān ， què liú lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè 。
林轩的嘴角边，却流露出一丝讥嘲之色。
But his chest bled profusely, one wing broken off.
zhè jiā huo ， zhēn shì nǎo dài xiù dòu le ， gāng cái yǔ tā quán dǎ zú tī ， nà shì bèi jìn shēn hòu bù dé yǐ 。
这家伙，真是脑袋秀逗了，刚才与他拳打足踢，那是被近身后不得已。
Despite his severe injuries, his movements remained swift. He first flapped his wings, sending out countless feathers like falling flowers before vanishing in a puff of green smoke towards the horizon.
dà jiā dōu shì xiū xiān zhě ， shǎ guā cái huì yì zhí píng wǔ gōng jué shèng fù 。
大家都是修仙者，傻瓜才会一直凭武功决胜负。
Lin Xuan saw that these feather light showed considerable power and couldn’t ignore them. He quickly used divine powers to block it, then looked up as the opponent had vanished.
lín xuān nà yī zhǎng ， kàn shì wēi lì páng bó ， qí shí què shì yòu dí zhī shù 。
林轩那一掌，看似威力磅礴，其实却是诱敌之术。
Lin Xuan frowned, closed his eyes, and released his spirit sense. In an instant, the opponent was a million miles away.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， yī bǐng báo rú chán yì de xiān jiàn cóng yī xiù zhōng fēi lüè ér chū 。
随着他的动作，一柄薄如蝉翼的仙剑从衣袖中飞掠而出。
Lin Xuan asked himself if his speed was fast enough but knew he couldn’t compare. The opponent’s escape speed was astonishingly swift; there was no way he could catch up.
bīng bù yàn zhà 。
兵不厌诈。
Though unwilling, Lin Xuan had to give up. (To be continued.)
Cleverness backfires.
Old Monster Wind never expected his divine powers to be useless against this guy. Now, he was in a bind and couldn't use any other techniques.
He could only dance with both hands, punching and kicking, hoping to kill Lin Xuan right here.
But it wasn’t that easy. The true essence of the Thousand-Swallow Art that Lin Xuan wielded was also an unparalleled secret text. The martial arts described within were incredibly ingenious. Instead of using the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Technique, Lin Xuan held it like a regular sword.
