nà gǎn jué lái de shì rú cǐ de tū wù ， shì xiān bàn fēn zhēng zhào yě wú 。.
那感觉来得是如此的突兀，事先半分征兆也无。.
The sensation came so abruptly, with no prior warning.
rán ér lín xuān què hán máo dào shù 。
然而林轩却寒毛倒竖。
However, Lin Xuan's hair stood on end.
wēi jī lái lín de gǎn jué kě yǐ yǒu hěn duō ， dàn yǐ lín xuān rú jīn de shí lì ， huì ràng tā máo gǔ sǒng rán de ， què jué duì méi yǒu jǐ gè ， shuō fèng máo lín jiǎo yě méi yǒu cuò 。
危机来临的感觉可以有很多，但以林轩如今的实力，会让他毛骨悚然的，却绝对没有几个，说凤毛麟角也没有错。
The feeling of impending danger could manifest in many ways, but for someone like Lin Xuan, there were only a few that would send shivers down his spine—so few that it was almost as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
bèi hòu jìng fǎng fú cáng zhe yī tiáo dú shé ， áng shǒu tǔ xīn de xiǎng yào tūn shí tā de liè wù 。
背后竟仿佛藏着一条毒蛇，昂首吐芯的想要吞食它的猎物。
It felt as if a venomous snake lurked behind him, its head raised, ready to strike at any moment.
zì jǐ huì chéng wéi mù biāo me ？
自己会成为目标么？
Would he become the target?
duō shǎo nián méi yǒu zhè yàng de gǎn chù 。
多少年没有这样的感触。
How long had it been since he last felt such a sensation?
lín xuān xīn zhōng jīng yí ， rán ér liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yī jiù shì píng jìng dì 。
林轩心中惊疑，然而脸上的表情依旧是平静地。
Lin Xuan's mind was filled with doubt and suspicion, but his expression remained calm. He did not move.
tā méi yǒu dòng ！
他没有动！
His body exuded no trace of energy, yet his essence qi quietly circulated through his meridians.
hún shēn shàng xià méi yǒu bàn diǎn qì xī fā chū ， rán ér fǎ lì què qiāo qiāo yùn zhuàn dào le jīng mài gè chù 。
浑身上下没有半点气息发出，然而法力却悄悄运转到了经脉各处。
He was ready to strike at any moment.
xù shì dài fā ！
蓄势待发！
Panicking would only reveal his weaknesses.
zhǐ yào yí gè niàn tou ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn jiù kě yǐ fēi chū yī xiù 。
只要一个念头，九宫须臾剑就可以飞出衣袖。
In the shadows, Lin Xuan had already prepared for every contingency.
zhè zhǒng shí kè ， jīng huáng shì hěn yú chǔn de ， zhǐ huì jiāng pò zhàn xiǎn lù 。
这种时刻，惊惶是很愚蠢的，只会将破绽显露。
But as suddenly as it had come, that sense of danger dissipated like a wave retreating from the shore.
lín xuān yú bù dòng shēng sè jiān ， yǐ jīng zuò hǎo le yìng biàn 。
林轩于不动声色间，已经做好了应变。
Had the enemy disappeared?
bù dé bù tí ， tā de zhǔn bèi hěn liǎo bù qǐ 。
不得不提，他的准备很了不起。
No, he had merely shifted his target.
rán ér nà rú máng zài bèi de gǎn jué ， què rú cháo shuǐ bān tuì qù 。
然而那如芒在背的感觉，却如潮水般退去。
So, this was not aimed at him after all.
dí rén xiāo shī le me ？
敌人消失了么？
A faint smile played on Lin Xuan's lips. He did not relax his vigilance but also had no intention of revealing himself. For now, he would simply observe.
bù ， tā zhǐ shì jiāng mù biāo zhuǎn yí 。
不，他只是将目标转移。
The wisest choice in such a situation was to remain calm and watch the unfolding events.
zhè me shuō lái ， tā zhēn duì de ， yě bìng bú shì zì jǐ 。
这么说来，他针对的，也并不是自己。
Though it seemed complex, the entire process unfolded in an instant.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， bìng méi yǒu fàng sōng jǐng tì ， dàn gèng bù dǎ suàn bào lù xíng jì ， shì bù guān jǐ ， xiān zàn qiě kàn xì 。
林轩嘴角边流露出一丝笑意，并没有放松警惕，但更不打算暴露行迹，事不关己，先暂且看戏。
Lin Xuan lay in wait silently.
lín xuān bú huì wàng jì gāng gāng nà kě pà de gǎn chù ， duì yú yǐn cáng zài àn chù de dí rén ， tā bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo xiǎo shì ， suǒ yǐ jìng guān qí biàn ， shì cǐ kè zuì wèi cōng míng de xuǎn zé 。
林轩不会忘记刚刚那可怕的感触，对于隐藏在暗处的敌人，他不敢有分毫小视，所以静观其变，是此刻最为聪明的选择。
Suddenly, his brow twitched.
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。
A streak of crimson light shot out from among the leaves, silent and swift.
lín xuān jìng jìng de qián fú 。
林轩静静的潜伏。
Its speed was astonishing, slicing through everything like a guillotine.
tū rán ， tā méi shāo yī dòng 。
突然，他眉梢一动。
Until this moment, Lin Xuan had no idea where the enemy was hiding. He had been passively waiting for something to happen.
yī dào xuè hóng sè de pǐ liàn ， cóng zhī yè jiān wú shēng wú xī de fēi juǎn ér chū 。
一道血红色的匹练，从枝叶间无声无息的飞卷而出。
But as his spiritual sense swept over the area, he found it empty.
shì rú pò zhú ， qí sù dù kuài dào le lìng rén jīng yà de dì bù 。
势如破竹，其速度快到了令人惊讶的地步。
This mysterious foe was far more formidable than he had imagined.
ér zhè yī shí kè ， lín xuān cái fā xiàn dí rén qián cáng yú hé chù ， píng xīn lái shuō ， gāng cái ， tā dōu yì zhí shì bèi dòng de 。
而这一时刻，林轩才发现敌人潜藏于何处，平心来说，刚才，他都一直是被动的。
Lin Xuan did not have time to search again; that would be a waste of effort. His focus was entirely on the crimson blade.
rán ér shén shí sǎo guò ， lín xuān què fā xiàn nà lǐ kōng wú yī wù 。
然而神识扫过，林轩却发现那里空无一物。
Narrow but deadly, it cut through the ranks with ease.
zhè guǐ yì de dí rén ， shí zài yào bǐ zì jǐ yuán xiān xiǎng xiàng de ， qiáng dà tài duō 。
这诡异的敌人，实在要比自己原先想象的，强大太多。
The attack was relentless, and soon several Black Dragon Guards lay dead, their heads severed from their bodies, their essence drained dry.
lín xuān yǐ méi yǒu shí jiān qù chóng xīn xún zhǎo le ， nà yàng zuò ， jiào zuò shě běn zhú mò ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā de mù guāng ， tā de jīng lì ， quán bù luò xiàng le nà xuè hóng sè de dāo máng 。
林轩已没有时间去重新寻找了，那样做，叫做舍本逐末，此时此刻，他的目光，他的精力，全部落像了那血红色的刀芒。
"Damn!"
hěn zhǎi ， gěi rén de gǎn jué què fǎng fú dú shé yì bān 。
很窄，给人的感觉却仿佛毒蛇一般。
The remaining guards were both terrified and enraged.
qù shì jìn jí ， jī hū shì qǐng kè jiān ， jiù qiē rù dào le qián fāng de duì wǔ lǐ 。
去势劲急，几乎是顷刻间，就切入到了前方的队伍里。
Though they had not reached the realm of Transcendence, these guards were trained by the Jiaoshen King himself, making them formidable opponents.
wàn jiāo gōng zhǔ tài guò zhāng yáng ， yīn wèi dài de suí cóng guò duō ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zì rán shì zuì róng yì bèi tōu xí de mù biāo le 。
万蛟公主太过张扬，因为带的随从过多，此时此刻，自然是最容易被偷袭的目标了。
Overwhelmed with shock, they quickly dispersed.
ér tā xuǎn zé de jiǎo dù ， yì shì diāo zuān dào le jí chù ， zǒu zài zuì hòu de mò lóng wèi ， chéng wéi le zuì xiān de shòu hài zhě 。
而他选择的角度，亦是刁钻到了极处，走在最后的墨龙卫，成为了最先的受害者。
Various lights flickered as妖气 rolled out, revealing their treasures.
nà shì yī fēn shén zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， hún shēn bèi hòu hòu de lín jiǎ bāo guǒ 。
那是一分神中期的修仙者，浑身被厚厚的鳞甲包裹。
"Truly well-trained!"
dāng xuè máng lái lín de yī kè ， tā shèn zhì lái bù jí cè guò tóu lú ， jǐn jǐn shì yǎn jiǎo de yú guāng ， kàn jiàn yī piàn xuè hóng zhī sè 。
当血芒来临的一刻，他甚至来不及侧过头颅，仅仅是眼角的余光，看见一片血红之色。
Lin Xuan's face showed admiration.
míng liàng yǐ jí ， huǎng dé tā yǎn jīng dōu zhēng bù kāi le 。
明亮以极，晃得他眼睛都睁不开了。
But it was useless. The enemy was far more tenacious than expected. That crimson blade moved like a snake, twisting and turning to intercept any incoming attacks.
suí hòu biàn bèi pī zhōng 。
随后便被劈中。
The strikes fell short, blood splattering everywhere.
lián tóng zuò qí mán shòu yì qǐ ， zhěng gè bèi pī wèi liǎng bàn le 。
连同坐骑蛮兽一起，整个被劈为两半了。
More guards lost their heads, their essence drained dry—this wasn't an ambush; it was a direct attack.
xuè huā bèng jiàn ér chū ， dàn què méi yǒu sǎ luò ， yīn wèi xià yī kè ， suǒ yǒu de jīng xuè jiù rú tóng zhǎng jīng xī shuǐ yì bān ， jiāng nà bǐng yāo dāo bāo guǒ ， suí hòu zhěng gè xī gàn diào le 。
血花迸溅而出，但却没有洒落，因为下一刻，所有的精血就如同长鲸吸水一般，将那柄妖刀包裹，随后整个吸干掉了。
There were a hundred Black Dragon Guards, and such power would not have been intimidating even against Transcendence Realm opponents. However, now they were being cut down by an unknown blade with ease.
“ sī ……”
“嘶……”
This had never happened before, and the guards could not help but be furious. They charged forward, surrounding the source of the light.
lín xuān dào xī le kǒu liáng qì 。
林轩倒吸了口凉气。
It was a poor strategy, as others might fall victim to this, but it was also the best way to narrow the enemy's space and reveal their position.
zhěng gè guò chéng tù qǐ hú luò ， dàn tā kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， zhè jiū jìng shì shén me bǎo wù ？
整个过程兔起鹘落，但他看得清清楚楚，这究竟是什么宝物？
The Black Dragon Guards were indeed formidable.
chuán shuō zhōng de mó qì me ？
传说中的魔器么？
Lin Xuan couldn't help but silently commend them.
lín xuān jiàn shí guǎng bó ， xiǎng dào le zhè ge kě néng 。
林轩见识广博，想到了这个可能。
But just when things seemed to be going his way, that crimson light vanished.
dàn yǐn yǐn de ， què yòu jué de yǒu yī xiē bù tóng zhī chù 。
但隐隐的，却又觉得有一些不同之处。
It appeared without warning and disappeared as quickly. This blade was truly elusive.
tā zài nà lǐ yí huò ， qián fāng zǎo yǐ shì rén yǎng mǎ fān ， xiàn rù le yí piàn hùn luàn 。
他在那里疑惑，前方早已是人仰马翻，陷入了一片混乱。
The guards had prepared for a bloody confrontation, but this strike fell short, leaving them disheartened.
jīng hū ， nù hè ， jiān jiào ， sī hǒu ， gè zhǒng gè yàng de shēng yīn ， bù yī ér zú ……
惊呼，怒喝，尖叫，嘶吼，各种各样的声音，不一而足……
Lin Xuan's heart raced. The timing of the attack was perfect, and it could be controlled with ease. He did not see how the light vanished either—because he wasn't in the center of the action.
zài tōu xí chéng gōng zhī hòu ， nà lǚ xuè sè de jīng máng ， bìng méi yǒu mǎn zú ， zuǒ chōng yòu tū ， fǎng fú sǐ shén lái dào le cǐ chù ， qǐng kè jiān ， yòu yǒu shù míng mò lóng wèi ， bèi qǔ xià le tóu lú 。
在偷袭成功之后，那缕血色的精芒，并没有满足，左冲右突，仿佛死神来到了此处，顷刻间，又有数名墨龙卫，被取下了头颅。
It is said that those involved are often blind, while those observing clearly see things.
shēn shǒu yì chù ， hún shēn de jīng xuè ， tóng yàng bèi xī gàn diào le 。
身首异处，浑身的精血，同样被吸干掉了。
Being in the thick of it gave him a clearer sense of his opponent's movements. If faced with such an attack, Lin Xuan would have pinpointed its trajectory with certainty.
“ kě wù ！”
“可恶！”
But the guards were clearly outmatched. They exchanged puzzled glances.
shèng xià de mò lóng wèi yòu jīng yòu nù 。
剩下的墨龙卫又惊又怒。
Had the enemy truly vanished?
tā men de shí lì suī rán bú dào dù jié qī ， dàn què shì wàn jiāo wáng yī shǒu xùn liàn chū lái dì ， zì rán yǒu guò rén zhī chù 。
他们的实力虽然不到渡劫期，但却是万蛟王一手训练出来地，自然有过人之处。
No, he must still have hidden reserves.
duǎn zàn de jīng huāng guò qù ， yǐ bù yuē ér tóng de sàn kāi le 。
短暂的惊慌过去，已不约而同的散开了。
Before they could fully process this thought, a cry rang out: "No!"
suí hòu gè sè guāng máng liàng qǐ ， yāo qì gǔn gǔn ér chū ， tā men yǐ jì chū le zì jǐ de bǎo wù 。
随后各色光芒亮起，妖气滚滚而出，他们已祭出了自己的宝物。
The enemy had circled around and was now in front of them.
“ guǒ rán xùn liàn yǒu sù ！”
“果然训练有素！”
Another streak of crimson light appeared, decapitating those holding lanterns.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū zàn tàn zhī sè 。
林轩脸上露出赞叹之色。
In an instant, several more guards fell, their essence drained dry. These妖族servants were formidable but lacked the quick thinking of well-trained guards.
rán ér méi yǒu yòng tú 。
然而没有用途。
It was chaos. Everyone ran for cover, too busy trying to escape than to fight back.
dí rén bǐ xiǎng xiàng de yào nán chán dé duō ， nà mǒ xuè sè de dāo guāng yǒu rú dú shé ， miàn duì pū miàn ér lái de bǎo wù ， yí gè bù kě sī yì de niǔ qū ， jìng yú jiān bù róng fà de kòng xì niǔ le guò qù 。
敌人比想象的要难缠得多，那抹血色的刀光有如毒蛇，面对扑面而来的宝物，一个不可思议的扭曲，竟于间不容发的空隙扭了过去。
With no fear left, the blade attacked with abandon, slicing through any who stood in its path.
lán jié luò zài le kōng chù ， xuè huā fēi jiàn ér chū 。
拦截落在了空处，血花飞溅而出。
A ghostly face appeared amidst the light, decapitating a servant as it passed by.
yòu yǒu liǎng míng xiū shì bèi qǔ xià le tóu lú ， hún shēn de jīng xuè yě yī xià zi gān kū ， zhè kě bú shì tōu xí ， ér shì zhèng miàn jī shā de jié guǒ 。
又有两名修士被取下了头颅，浑身的精血也一下子干枯，这可不是偷袭，而是正面击杀的结果。
"Filthy beast!"
mò lóng wèi gòng yǒu bǎi qí ， zhè yàng de shí lì ， jí shǐ shì miàn duì dù jié qī ， yě bú huì dǎ chù ， rán ér cǐ kè ， què bìng yī bǐng bù zhī cóng hé ér lái de xuè dāo shā dé shì kuì bù chéng jūn le 。
墨龙卫共有百骑，这样的实力，即使是面对渡劫期，也不会打怵，然而此刻，却并一柄不知从何而来的血刀杀得是溃不成军了。
Just then, a loud cry echoed. A streak of green light emerged from the embroidered tower.
zhè yàng de shì qíng ， yǐ qián cóng lái bù céng yǒu guò ， yóu bù dé mò lóng wèi men bù nù ， yí gè gè yǎn dōu hóng le ， bù tuì fǎn jìn ， xiàng nà xuè máng wéi guò qù le 。
这样的事情，以前从来不曾有过，由不得墨龙卫们不怒，一个个眼都红了，不退反进，像那血芒围过去了。
