tián xiǎo jiàn ！
田小剑！
Tian Xiaojian!
tā lái dào yǔ tóng jiè běn shì wèi le xún zhǎo pán táo shèng guǒ 。.
他来到雨桐界本是为了寻找蟠桃圣果。.
He had originally come to the Rain桐World to search for the Immortal Peach Sacred Fruit.
rán ér yīn wèi shí jī wèi dào suǒ yǐ xiān lái zhè ér xún zhǎo bié de bǎo wù 。
然而因为时机未到所以先来这儿寻找别的宝物。
However, since the time was not right, he decided to look for other treasures here first.
cáng bǎo tú ！
藏宝图！
Treasure Map!
tián xiǎo jiàn yuán běn xīn cún yí huò ， dàn yīn wèi wú shì kě zuò ， yě jiù gū qiě xìn zhī hǎo le 。
田小剑原本心存疑惑，但因为无事可做，也就姑且信之好了。
Tian Xiaojian initially harbored doubts but, with nothing else to do, he decided to believe in it for now.
zhè jiā huo de shí lì bù bǐ lín xuān xùn sè ， xiū xiān jīng yàn yì xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
这家伙的实力不比林轩逊色，修仙经验亦相差仿佛。
This guy's strength wasn't inferior to Lin Xuan's, and their cultivation experiences were similar as well.
shèn zhì lián xìng gé ， liǎng rén dōu pǒ duō chóng dié zhī chù 。
甚至连姓格，两人都颇多重叠之处。
Even their personalities overlapped quite a bit.
xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò ！
小心无大错！
Better safe than sorry!
zhè shì lín xuān de chǔ shì yuán zé 。
这是林轩的处事原则。
That was Lin Xuan's principle.
ér tián xiǎo jiàn yě chà bu duō 。
而田小剑也差不多。
Tian Xiaojian was pretty much the same way.
suǒ yǐ tā lái dào shí wàn dà shān de shí hòu ， yě xí guàn xìng de xuǎn zé le dī diào ， jiāng xiū wèi shōu liǎn dào fēn shén qī 。
所以他来到十万大山的时候，也习惯姓的选择了低调，将修为收敛到分神期。
So when he arrived at the Ten Thousand Mountains, he chose to keep a low profile and concealed his cultivation level to the Spirit Formation Stage.
zuò fǎ kě yǐ shuō yǔ lín xuān shì yī mú yī yàng dì 。
做法可以说与林轩是一模一样地。
His approach could be said to mirror Lin Xuan's exactly.
zhè zài píng shí ， méi yǒu cuò ！
这在平时，没有错！
This worked well in normal circumstances!
rán ér cǐ kè ， wú qiǎo bù qiǎo de ， què yù jiàn xīn qíng bù shuǎng de huǒ yún xiān zi le 。
然而此刻，无巧不巧的，却遇见心情不爽的火云仙子了。
However, fate had it that he encountered an irritable Fire Cloud Fairy at this moment.
jié guǒ bù yòng tí ， huǒ yún xiān zi èr huà bù shuō jiù chōng le shàng qù 。
结果不用提，火云仙子二话不说就冲了上去。
Needless to say, the Fire Cloud Fairy immediately charged forward without a second thought.
sú huà shuō ， shàn zhě bù lái ， lái zhě bù shàn ， cǐ nǚ shā qì téng téng de chōng shàng lái ， tián xiǎo jiàn zěn me yòu kě néng shì ruò bú jiàn 。
俗话说，善者不来，来者不善，此女杀气腾腾的冲上来，田小剑怎么又可能是若不见。
As they say, the virtuous do not come when trouble arises; those who come are not virtuous. This woman's aura was intimidating as she rushed towards Tian Xiaojian.
mǎn tóu wù shuǐ ！
满头雾水！
How could Tian Xiaojian remain indifferent?
cǐ nǚ zì jǐ míng míng méi yǒu jiàn guò ， tā zhè qì shì xiōng xiōng de shì wèi hé ？
此女自己明明没有见过，她这气势汹汹的是为何？
Confused!
zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， jiù jiàn yī mǒ huǒ hóng sè de dāo guāng fú xiàn ér chū ， nà guāng máng shì rú cǐ de duó mù 。
这个念头尚未转过，就见一抹火红色的刀光浮现而出，那光芒是如此的夺目。
She had never seen this woman before, so why such an aggressive stance from her?
zhěng gè xū kōng dōu bèi sī pò ， hěn hěn de pī xiàng le tián xiǎo jiàn de tóu lú 。
整个虚空都被撕破，狠狠的劈向了田小剑的头颅。
Before he could fully process these thoughts, a fiery red blade appeared in the void, its brilliance piercing through everything.
zhè yī jī shā qì shí zú 。
这一击杀气十足。
It sliced directly at Tian Xiaojian's head with immense force.
ruò bèi jī zhòng ， zhǐ yǒu hún fēi pò sàn yí gè jié guǒ 。
若被击中，只有魂飞魄散一个结果。
A strike that would result in his soul being scattered if hit.
tián xiǎo jiàn dà nù 。
田小剑大怒。
Tian Xiaojian was furious and couldn't just ignore it. With a wave of his sleeve, another blade emerged.
zì rán bù kě néng shì ruò wú dǔ ， zhǐ jiàn tā xiù páo huī chù 。
自然不可能视若无睹，只见他袖袍挥处。
Not as glaring or noticeable; rather, it seemed somewhat dim.
yě shì yī lǚ dāo guāng fú xiàn ér chū 。
也是一缕刀光浮现而出。
But it sliced through the bright blade effortlessly.
méi yǒu nà me cì mù 。
没有那么刺目。
True Devil Shatter Void Blade!
shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō bù shèn qǐ yǎn ， lüè wēi yǒu nà me yì diǎn àn dàn 。
甚至可以说不甚起眼，略微有那么一点黯淡。
A precious item that Lin Xuan didn't dare underestimate.
kě què shì rú pò zhú ， qīng ér yì jǔ ， jiù jiāng nà mǒ liàng lì de dāo guāng jī suì diào le 。
可却势如破竹，轻而易举，就将那抹亮丽的刀光击碎掉了。
Its power was formidable indeed.
zhēn mó suì kōng dāo ！
真魔碎空刀！
After this attack, Tian Xiaojian's cultivation level couldn't remain hidden and naturally revealed itself.
lín xuān dōu bù gǎn xiǎo shì de bǎo wù 。
林轩都不敢小视的宝物。
The Fire Cloud Fairy was taken aback before her anger boiled over.
wēi lì zì rán shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
威力自然是非同小可。
What’s going on today?
ér zhè yī jī guò hòu ， tián xiǎo jiàn de xiū wèi ， zì rán yě jiù bù kě néng cáng zhuō ， zì rán ér rán de xiǎn xiàn chū lái le 。
而这一击过后，田小剑的修为，自然也就不可能藏拙，自然而然的显现出来了。
Everyone knew the Ten Thousand Mountains were clearing out disrespectful Spirit Formation Stage cultivators. Yet, someone had the audacity to play the role of the weakling who would turn into a tiger.
huǒ yún xiān zi yī dāi ， suí hòu bó rán dà nù le qǐ lái 。
火云仙子一呆，随后勃然大怒了起来。
One thing was bad enough; he encountered another one.
jīn tiān zhè shì zěn me le ？
今天这是怎么了？
Was this an intentional provocation or was there a trap waiting for her?
shéi dōu zhī dào shí wàn dà shān zhèng zài qīng chú bù shí hǎo dǎi de fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě 。
谁都知道十万大山正在清除不识好歹的分神期修仙者。
The Fire Cloud Fairy no longer had time to ponder.
què piān piān yǒu rén fǎn qí dào ér xíng zhī ， zài zhè lǐ wán bàn zhū chī hǔ 。
却偏偏有人反其道而行之，在这里玩扮猪吃虎。
Her Fire Cloud Art was powerful but significantly affected personality.
yí gè yě jiù bà le 。
一个也就罢了。
Since she became proficient in it, the Fire Cloud Fairy had always been quick-tempered and easily angered.
jū rán hái néng yù jiàn dì èr gè 。
居然还能遇见第二个。
Other Golden Stage experts would avoid conflict unless absolutely necessary, but when the Fire Cloud Fairy's temper flared up, she paid no heed at all.
zhè shì gù yì yǒu rén zài dòu zì jǐ wán me ？
这是故意有人在逗自己玩么？
This was well-known throughout the Rain桐World...
tiǎo xìn ， hái shì yǒu xiàn jǐng zài qián miàn děng zhe ？
挑衅，还是有陷阱在前面等着？
If Tian Xiaojian knew this, he might have chosen to retreat.
huǒ yún xiān zi yǐ jīng wú xiá fēn biàn le 。
火云仙子已经无暇分辨了。
But Tian Xiaojian didn't know.
tā suǒ ** de huǒ yún jué wēi lì páng bó ， dàn duì xìng gé de yǐng xiǎng yě shí fēn xiǎn zhù 。
她所**的火云诀威力磅礴，但对姓格的影响也十分显著。
He was already agitated from a sudden attack.
huǒ yún xiān zi yì chéng yǐ lái ， yì zhí shì bào zào yì nù 。
火云仙子艺成以来，一直是暴躁易怒。
Originally, like Lin Xuan, he was a very steady cultivator.
bié de dù jié qī dà néng ruò fēi wàn bù dé yǐ ， bù yuàn yì yǔ tóng jiē cún zài chōng tū ， rán ér huǒ yún xiān zi pí qì shàng lái ， què shì sī háo gù jì yě wú 。
别的渡劫期大能若非万不得已，不愿意与同阶存在冲突，然而火云仙子脾气上来，却是丝毫顾忌也无。
However, recent experiences had been different.
zhè yì diǎn ， zài yǔ tóng jiè nà shì wén míng xiá ěr de ……
这一点，在雨桐界那是闻名遐迩的……
Lin Xuan's journey through the Netherworld Realm was extremely smooth; despite some dangers, he eventually reunited with his beloved and lived happily ever after.
ruò tián xiǎo jiàn xiǎo de ， duō bàn yě huì xuǎn zé tuì bì le 。
若田小剑晓得，多半也会选择退避了。
But what about Tian Xiaojian?
wèn tí shì ， tián xiǎo jiàn bù xiǎo de 。
问题是，田小剑不晓得。
He had traveled to the Netherworld Realm with great effort, hoping to find the River of Hell Sacred Fruit. However, its opening time inexplicably delayed.
mò míng qí miào de shòu dào tōu xí ， tā de xīn qíng yě shì pǒ wèi fán zào de 。
莫名其妙的受到偷袭，他的心情也是颇为烦躁的。
If it were just a wasted trip, that would have been fine. But he got into a minor conflict with the Golden Jade Corpse King over something trivial and ended up making an enemy out of him.
yuán běn tā yǔ lín xuān yī yàng ， dōu shì hěn wěn zhòng de xiū xiān zhě 。
原本他与林轩一样，都是很稳重的修仙者。
The grudge wasn't significant, but the Golden Jade Corpse King relentlessly pursued him with countless generals.
nài hé bù jiǔ qián de jīng lì ， shí zài shì bù tóng 。
奈何不久前的经历，实在是不同。
Facing Tian Xiaojian alone was no issue, but the sheer number of opponents proved overwhelming.
lín xuān de yīn sī jiè zhī lǚ ， shùn lì yǐ jí ， suī jīng lì le yī xiē xiǎn è ， dàn zuì zhōng yǔ xīn ài de rén tuán jù ， shuāng sù shuāng qī 。
林轩的阴司界之旅，顺利以极，虽经历了一些险恶，但最终与心爱的人团聚，双宿双栖。
Tian Xiaojian was battered and bruised, nearly perishing several times, and his struggle to survive was evident.
ér tián xiǎo jiàn ne ？
而田小剑呢？
Finally, he managed to escape from the Golden Jade Corpse King's territory.
qiān xīn wàn kǔ lái dào yīn sī dì fǔ ， yuán běn shì wèi xún zhǎo míng hé shén guǒ ， kě míng hé kāi qǐ de shí jiān ， què mò míng qí miào de tuī chí diào le 。
千辛万苦来到阴司地府，原本是为寻找冥河神果，可冥河开启的时间，却莫名其妙的推迟掉了。
Shouldn't this be safe now?
ruò jǐn jǐn shì bái pǎo yī tàng ， nà yě jiù bà le ， kě tā què yīn wèi yì diǎn wēi bù zú dào de xiǎo shì ， yǔ jīn yuè shī wáng jié chóu 。
若仅仅是白跑一趟，那也就罢了，可他却因为一点微不足道的小事，与金玥尸王结仇。
But for healing, he stole a spirit herb, which turned out to be something cherished by the Heavenly Tyrant Bright King.
ēn yuàn bù dà ， míng míng kě yǐ yī xiào zhì zhī de ， kě jīn yuè shī wáng què xiàng fēng le ， pài chū wú shù dà jiàng ， duì tā jìn xíng qì ér bù shě de zhuī shā 。
恩怨不大，明明可以一笑置之的，可金玥尸王却像疯了，派出无数大将，对他进行弃而不舍的追杀。
Thus, another top-tier Netherworld expert became his enemy, and the Heavenly Tyrant Bright King directly dispatched an avatar to hunt him down.
dān tiāo tián xiǎo jiàn bù pà ， wú nài hǎo hàn dí bù guò rén duō a ！
单挑田小剑不怕，无奈好汉敌不过人多啊！
Tian Xiaojian's situation was dire; there was no escape.
tián xiǎo jiàn bèi dǎ dé shì pì gǔn niào liú ， hǎo jǐ cì chà diǎn yǔn luò ， shuō zhēng zhá yú shēng sǐ biān yuán yě bù wèi guò 。
田小剑被打得是屁滚尿流，好几次差点陨落，说挣扎于生死边缘也不为过。
Desperate, he chose to tear through space and risk everything.
zuì hòu hǎo bù róng yì pāo chū jīn yuè shī wáng de shì lì fàn wéi le 。
最后好不容易抛出金玥尸王的势力范围了。
But fate dealt a storm of spatial storms.
zhè zǒng gāi ān quán le ba ！
这总该安全了吧！
He nearly perished but was saved by the Dark King of the Netherworld, who had suffered a similar fate. However, the other party wasn't benevolent either, merely using him for their own purposes.
kě wèi le liáo shāng ， tā tōu le yī zhū líng cǎo ， tiān zhī dào nà jìng rán shì tiān shā míng wáng zhēn ài zhī wù 。
可为了疗伤，他偷了一株灵草，天知道那竟然是天煞明王珍爱之物。
But Tian Xiaojian wouldn't be easily subdued; he outsmarted the Dark King of the Netherworld and finally escaped to the Rain桐World.
yú shì ， yòu yī wèi yīn sī jiè de dǐng jí dà néng bèi tā dé zuì ， tiān shā míng wáng zhí jiē pài huà shēn zhuī shā 。
于是，又一位阴司界的顶级大能被他得罪，天煞明王直接派化身追杀。
However, this journey was filled with misfortunes that left a bitter taste in his mouth.
shàng tiān wú lù rù dì wú mén shì duì tián xiǎo jiàn jìng yù zuì hǎo de miáo shù 。
上天无路入地无门是对田小剑境遇最好的描述。
He couldn't recall these events without pain, but for Tian Xiaojian, there was no choice; he had to prioritize survival above all else.
wàn bān wú nài 。
万般无奈。
Now that danger was over, why did this mysterious woman come looking for trouble?
tián xiǎo jiàn zhǐ néng xuǎn zé pò suì xū kōng ， mào jiǔ sǐ yì shēng de qí xiǎn 。
田小剑只能选择破碎虚空，冒九死一生的奇险。
The accumulated resentment in Tian Xiaojian's heart made him furious.
jié guǒ yù jiàn le kōng jiān fēng bào 。
结果遇见了空间风暴。
How dare she treat him as a soft target!
chà diǎn yǔn luò ， hòu miàn bèi tóng yàng zāo yù de yōu míng àn wáng jiù le ， dàn duì fāng tóng yàng méi ān hǎo xīn ， bù guò shì xiǎng yào lì yòng 。
差点陨落，后面被同样遭遇的幽冥暗王救了，但对方同样没安好心，不过是想要利用。
And the Fire Cloud Fairy, being quick-tempered herself, was enraged by repeated encounters with hidden opponents.
dàn tián xiǎo jiàn yòu qǐ huì hǎo duì fù ， hài rén zhōng hài jǐ ， jiǎo jìn nǎo zhī jiāng yōu míng àn wáng suàn jì le jìn qù 。
但田小剑又岂会好对付，害人终害己，绞尽脑汁将幽冥暗王算计了进去。
Although Tian Xiaojian's strength slightly exceeded hers, he didn't fear her. He unleashed a barrage of powerful attacks, striking back at his opponent.
zhì cǐ ， tā cái zhōng yú tuō xiǎn ， lái dào le yǔ tóng jiè 。
至此，他才终于脱险，来到了雨桐界。
"Such insolence!"
dàn zhè yī duàn de jīng lì ， zì rán shì bù kuài yǐ jí 。
但这一段的经历，自然是不快以极。
Tian Xiaojian was furious and immediately retaliated. With a wave of his sleeve, blade energy and demonic winds surged forth to counterattack.
wǎng shì bù kān huí shǒu ， dàn duì tián xiǎo jiàn lái shuō ， nà shì wú fǎ kě xiǎng zhī shì ， dí qiáng wǒ ruò ， tā zhǐ néng jié jìn quán lì ， bǎo mìng shì dì yī xuǎn zé 。
往事不堪回首，但对田小剑来说，那是无法可想之事，敌强我弱，他只能竭尽全力，保命是第一选择。
His cultivation level being higher by one stage, his strength far surpassed that of other Golden Stage cultivators.
ér xiàn zài ， wēi xiǎn dōu yǐ jīng dù guò ， zhè mò míng qí miào de nǚ zǐ ， què lái zhǎo zì jǐ má fán 。
而现在，危险都已经度过，这莫名其妙的女子，却来找自己麻烦。
Though the Fire Cloud Fairy had exceptional abilities, she couldn't withstand this onslaught.
tián xiǎo jiàn xīn zhōng de yuàn qì jī zǎn yǐ jiǔ ， zěn me kě néng bù nù 。
田小剑心中的怨气积攒已久，怎么可能不怒。
The battle became chaotic as they exchanged relentless attacks. Despite her reluctance to retreat, her inferiority in power meant she could only continue fighting until death.
kě wù ， zhēn dāng zì jǐ shì ruǎn shì zi ， shéi dōu kě yǐ lái niē shàng yī shǒu 。
可恶，真当自己是软柿子，谁都可以来捏上一手。
This woman wasn't foolish; knowing it was a dead end, she decided to leave.
piān piān huǒ yún xiān zi yòu shì pí qì bào zào de rén wù ， yì ér zài ， zài ér sān de yù jiàn rén yǐn cáng shí lì ， xīn zhōng yě shì nù jí 。
偏偏火云仙子又是脾气暴躁的人物，一而再，再而三的遇见人隐藏实力，心中也是怒极。
But by then, it was too late.
tián xiǎo jiàn de shí lì suī lüè gāo yú zì jǐ ， tā yě méi yǒu hài pà wèi jù ， kuáng fēng zhòu yǔ bān de gōng jī ， pī tóu gài liǎn de xiàng duì shǒu dǎ le guò qù 。
田小剑的实力虽略高于自己，她也没有害怕畏惧，狂风骤雨般的攻击，劈头盖脸的像对手打了过去。
A chilling roar echoed through the air: "Dare you hurt my wife? I will tear your soul and refine your essence!"
“ qī rén tài shèn le ！”
“欺人太甚了！”
The sound came suddenly with no warning.
tián xiǎo jiàn dà nù 。
田小剑大怒。
Then, the sky above split open, forming a vortex that collapsed into a massive hand extending from within, over a hundred feet long, pressing down on Tian Xiaojian as if to crush him into powder.
Tian Xiaojian!
He had originally come to the Rain桐World to search for the Immortal Peach Sacred Fruit.
However, since the time was not right, he decided to look for other treasures here first.
Treasure Map!
Tian Xiaojian initially harbored doubts but, with nothing else to do, he decided to believe in it for now.
This guy's strength wasn't inferior to Lin Xuan's, and their cultivation experiences were similar as well.

However, fate had it that he encountered an irritable Fire Cloud Fairy at this moment.

As they say, the virtuous do not come when trouble arises; those who come are not virtuous. This woman's aura was intimidating as she rushed towards Tian Xiaojian.
How could Tian Xiaojian remain indifferent?
Confused!
She had never seen this woman before, so why such an aggressive stance from her?
Before he could fully process these thoughts, a fiery red blade appeared in the void, its brilliance piercing through everything.
It sliced directly at Tian Xiaojian's head with immense force.
A strike that would result in his soul being scattered if hit.
Tian Xiaojian was furious and couldn't just ignore it. With a wave of his sleeve, another blade emerged.
Not as glaring or noticeable; rather, it seemed somewhat dim.

True Devil Shatter Void Blade!
A precious item that Lin Xuan didn't dare underestimate.

The Fire Cloud Fairy was taken aback before her anger boiled over.
What’s going on today?
