“ néng yǒu shén me dǎ suàn ne ， zǒu yī bù ， kàn yī bù 。.”
“能有什么打算呢，走一步，看一步。.”
"What could I possibly plan? Let's just take it one step at a time."
lín xuān zuǐ shàng suī shì zhè yàng shuō ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， què shì sī háo jiāo lǜ yě wú ：“ fàng xīn ， cóng rén jiè dào yīn sī dì fǔ ， zhè me duō dà fēng dà làng wǒ men dōu yī lù chuǎng guò ， nán dào hái huì zài zhè shí wàn dà shān lǐ yǔn luò ， jiù suàn shì yù wài tiān mó ， yě méi yǒu shén me liǎo bù qǐ de 。”
林轩嘴上虽是这样说，脸上的表情，却是丝毫焦虑也无：“放心，从人界到阴司地府，这么多大风大浪我们都一路闯过，难道还会在这十万大山里陨落，就算是域外天魔，也没有什么了不起的。”
Though Lin Xuan said this, his expression showed no trace of anxiety. "Don't worry. From the mortal realm to the Netherworld, we've faced countless storms and waves. How could we fall here in the Ten Thousand Mountains? Even if it were an outsider demon, there's nothing to be afraid of."
lín xuān shuō zhè huà de shí hòu ， liǎn shàng zì rán ér rán de liú lù chū zì xìn zhī sè ， yuè ér zé diǎn le diǎn tóu ， guāi guāi de yī wēi zài tā de shēn hòu 。
林轩说这话的时候，脸上自然而然的流露出自信之色，月儿则点了点头，乖乖的依偎在他的身后。
As Lin Xuan spoke, a natural air of confidence appeared on his face. Mo'er nodded obediently, snuggling up behind him.
suí hòu lín xuān hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， jiāng shào nǚ yī guǒ ， xiàng zhe yuǎn fāng fēi lüè ér qù le 。
随后林轩浑身青芒大起，将少女一裹，向着远方飞掠而去了。
Then, Lin Xuan's entire body was enveloped in a green glow as he wrapped the young girl and flew off towards the distance.
ér suǒ zǒu de fāng xiàng ， yě bú shì suí yì xuǎn zé 。
而所走的方向，也不是随意选择。
The direction they chose wasn't random. It just so happened to be the same path that Tian Xiaojian had taken earlier when fleeing.
wú qiǎo bù qiǎo ， yǔ tián xiǎo jiàn gāng cái táo zǒu de xiàn lù shì yī yàng 。
无巧不巧，与田小剑刚才逃走的线路是一样。
As the saying goes: "Share the joy, share the burden."
sú huà shuō yǒu fú tóng xiǎng ， yǒu nán tóng dāng 。
俗话说有福同享，有难同当。
After a thousand years, Tian Xiaojian and Lin Xuan met again in the Ten Thousand Mountains by sheer coincidence. Emotionally and logically, Lin Xuan wouldn't let him escape smoothly. First things first, he would use a diversionary tactic.
qiān nián guò qù ， tián xiǎo jiàn yǔ zì jǐ zài shí wàn dà shān lǐ chóng jù ， shí zài shì yǒu yuán zhī jí ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， lín xuān nǎ ér huì ràng tā yí gè rén táo dé shùn lì ， bù guǎn sān qī èr shí yī ， xiān lái gè huò shuǐ dōng yǐn zhī jì 。
千年过去，田小剑与自己在十万大山里重聚，实在是有缘之极，于情于理，林轩哪儿会让他一个人逃得顺利，不管三七二十一，先来个祸水东引之计。
Lin Xuan wasn't being petty; the cultivation world was full of deceit and trickery. Besides, Tian Xiaojian wasn't someone to be trusted. Lin Xuan had no qualms about taking advantage of his situation from behind.
bú yào shuō lín xuān bēi bǐ ， xiū xiān jiè yuán běn jiù shì ěr yú wǒ zhà dì ， hé kuàng tián xiǎo jiàn yě bú shì shén me hǎo dōng xī ， lín xuān dāng rán bù jiè yì ， zài bèi hòu yīn tā yī jì 。
不要说林轩卑鄙，修仙界原本就是尔虞我诈地，何况田小剑也不是什么好东西，林轩当然不介意，在背后阴他一记。
...
……
……
Meanwhile, on the other side, Tian Xiaojian's situation had greatly improved.
qiě bù shuō lín xuān zhè biān jìng kuàng rú hé ， tián xiǎo jiàn nà biān de xíng shì ， zé yǐ jīng dà wèi hǎo zhuǎn le 。
且不说林轩这边境况如何，田小剑那边的形势，则已经大为好转了。
Indeed, Old Immortal Ten Thousand Toxins was formidable. But what he possessed was merely a boundary-crossing demonic consciousness.
bù cuò ， wàn dú lǎo zǔ de shí lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
不错，万毒老祖的实力非同小可。
While the owner of this consciousness might be powerful, weakened by the interdimensional force, it was no more than a fragmentary soul. How much power and skill could such a being possess?
dàn fù shēn zài tā shēn shàng de ， bù guò shì yī dào gé jiè mó niàn bà le 。
但附身在他身上的，不过是一道隔界魔念罢了。
Old Immortal Ten Thousand Toxins had underestimated Tian Xiaojian when he was taken over. With his current abilities, facing him in battle would be somewhat arrogant.
zhè dào mó niàn zhǔ rén de shén tōng huò xǔ bù sú ， dàn jīng guò jiè miàn zhī lì de xuē ruò ， yě jiù yǔ yī lǚ fēn hún jiàng lín chà bu duō ， néng yǒu duō dà de běn shì yǔ gōng fu ？
这道魔念主人的神通或许不俗，但经过界面之力的削弱，也就与一缕分魂降临差不多，能有多大的本事与功夫？
Moreover, there was Princess Ten Thousand Jiao by his side. Although her personality was somewhat domineering, she was still at the Tribulation Transcending stage. As the daughter of King Ten Thousand Jiao, she had seen enough to be well-versed in the ways of power. Emotionally and logically, her strength wouldn't be weak.
wàn dú lǎo zǔ yě shì yī shí bù chá ， cái bèi tā duó shě 。
万毒老祖也是一时不察，才被他夺舍。
Tian Xiaojian himself didn't need to be mentioned; even Lin Xuan was wary of him. At the Tribulation Middle stage, his realm matched that of Old Immortal Ten Thousand Toxins.
píng zhe zhè diǎn shén tōng yǔ tián xiǎo jiàn fàng duì ， dào dǐ shì yǒu xiē xiǎo shì tiān xià yīng xióng 。
凭着这点神通与田小剑放对，到底是有些小视天下英雄。
In such a situation, with two against one, it would be unreasonable not to gain an upper hand.
hé kuàng páng biān hái yǒu yī wèi wàn jiāo gōng zhǔ ， suī rán zhè wèi gōng zhǔ diàn xià de xìng gé duō shǎo yǒu xiē xiāo zhāng bá hù ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， zǒng yě shì dù jié qī ， hé kuàng shēn wèi wàn jiāo wáng de ài nǚ ， méi chī guò zhū ròu ， yě jiàn guò bù shǎo zhū pǎo de ， suàn dé shàng jiā xué yuān bó ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， shí lì dōu bú huì hěn ruò 。
何况旁边还有一位万蛟公主，虽然这位公主殿下的姓格多少有些嚣张跋扈，但不管如何，总也是渡劫期，何况身为万蛟王的爱女，没吃过猪肉，也见过不少猪跑的，算得上家学渊博，于情于理，实力都不会很弱。
Initially, due to his剧毒 and some peculiar cultivation techniques, Old Immortal Ten Thousand Toxins caused Tian Xiaojian some trouble. But as time passed, Tian Xiaojian saw through his tricks, leaving Old Immortal Ten Thousand Toxin in a desperate situation.
tián xiǎo jiàn gèng bù bì shuō ， lián lín xuān dōu yào jì dàn de rén wù 。
田小剑更不必说，连林轩都要忌惮的人物。
Princess Ten Thousand Jiao originally planned to escape but saw an opportunity and decided to join the attack instead. With two against one, Old Immortal Ten Thousand Toxins' position became even more precarious. Just as fate seemed to be conspiring against him, Lin Xuan arrived on the scene.
dù jié zhōng qī ， jiù jìng jiè lái shuō ， yě yǔ wàn dú lǎo zǔ shì yī yàng dì 。
渡劫中期，就境界来说，也与万毒老祖是一样地。
Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass; he was eager to pounce on a fallen foe. With a flick of his sleeve, silver light erupted as Nine Palace Needle emerged from his sleeve like a fish swimming out.
jiù zhè yàng de qíng kuàng xià yǐ èr dǎ yī ， ruò shì hái bù néng zhàn dào shàng fēng nà cái shì méi yǒu tiān lǐ 。
就这样的情况下以二打一，若是还不能占到上风那才是没有天理。
There was no time for subtlety now. Silver light surged like a gust of wind and rain towards Old Immortal Ten Thousand Toxins.
wàn dú lǎo zǔ yīn wèi yī shēn jù dú ， ér qiě suǒ xiū de gōng fǎ yǒu xiē guǐ yì ， suǒ yǐ yī kāi shǐ ， duō shǎo gěi tián xiǎo jiàn zào chéng le yī xiē má fán 。
万毒老祖因为一身剧毒，而且所修的功法有些诡异，所以一开始，多少给田小剑造成了一些麻烦。
Hiding in a green cloud, Old Immortal Ten Thousand Toxin was terrified by the sight. He couldn't hide; he wouldn't sit idly by either. With a fierce look in his eyes, his right hand suddenly swung forward.
dàn suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， tián xiǎo jiàn jiāng tā de yī xiē xiǎo jì liǎng kàn pò ， wàn dú lǎo zǔ jiù xiǎn de yǒu xiē qián lǘ jì qióng le 。
但随着时间的推移，田小剑将他的一些小伎俩看破，万毒老祖就显得有些黔驴技穷了。
A green light pierced through the air as a palm-sized artifact appeared. Though initially blurry due to the aura around it, it quickly became clear. It resembled a flat object but grew to be more than a hundred times larger, transforming into a massive object that crashed towards Lin Xuan.
wàn jiāo gōng zhǔ yuán běn dǎ suàn táo lí zhè lǐ ， dàn yě kàn chū le pián yi ， zhè me hǎo de jī huì nǎ ér yǒu bái bái cuò guò de dào lǐ 。
万蛟公主原本打算逃离这里，但也看出了便宜，这么好的机会哪儿有白白错过的道理。
The sheer size and power of this object were formidable. Best of all, it had the effect of a shield, perfectly blocking the sword light.
yú shì gǎi biàn zhǔ yì ， shàng qián jiā jī 。
于是改变主意，上前夹击。
Then, several venomous snakes emerged from the surface of the giant brick.
èr dǎ yī ， wàn dú lǎo zǔ de chǔ jìng yuè fā bù lì ， ér wū lòu piān féng lián yè yǔ ， qià zài cǐ kè ， lín xuān gǎn dào le zhè lǐ 。
二打一，万毒老祖的处境越发不利，而屋漏偏逢连夜雨，恰在此刻，林轩赶到了这里。
With their fangs bared and fierce demeanor, they charged at Lin Xuan.
rú cǐ qíng jǐng ， lín xuān zì rán bù kě néng fàng guò ， tòng dǎ luò shuǐ gǒu ， lín xuān kě shì shí fēn shàng xīn ná shǒu de 。
如此情景，林轩自然不可能放过，痛打落水狗，林轩可是十分上心拿手的。
"Hmph, trying to stop a fly with an elephant's trunk!" Lin Xuan sneered. With his right hand raised, he casually pointed forward.
xiù páo yī fú 。
袖袍一拂。
As he did so, the myriad sharp sword lights converged into one. A giant sword over ten feet in diameter materialized and slashed forward without hesitation.
dàn jiàn yín máng dà zuò ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn cóng yī xiù zhōng yú yóu ér chū 。
但见银芒大做，九宫须臾剑从衣袖中鱼游而出。
Tian Xiaojian watched this clearly. Though suspicious of how Lin Xuan had arrived here, deep down, he felt a bad omen. But with the situation changing rapidly, there was no time for hesitation. The immediate task was to eliminate the outsider demon before him.
zhè shí hòu ， kě méi yǒu shí jiān cáng zhuō 。
这时候，可没有时间藏拙。
With his resolve, Tian Xiaojian flicked his sleeve and summoned True Demon Shatter Void Saber, which transformed into a massive object over ten feet in diameter, joining Lin Xuan's assault from both sides.
yī shí jiān ， yín máng dà zuò ， rú jí fēng zhòu yǔ ， xiàng zhe wàn dú lǎo zǔ fēi lüè ér qù le 。
一时间，银芒大做，如疾风骤雨，向着万毒老祖飞掠而去了。
As for Princess Ten Thousand Jiao, seeing an opportunity, she didn't hesitate. She tapped her forehead and spat out a red gem.
wàn dú lǎo zǔ cǐ kè ， cáng shēn zài yī duǒ cuì lǜ de yún cǎi lǐ ， kàn jiàn cǐ mù ， xià dé dà jīng shī sè 。
万毒老祖此刻，藏身在一朵翠绿的云彩里，看见此幕，吓得大惊失色。
Lin Xuan couldn't make out what it was, but given the princess's status, it must be powerful. Holding this dragon eye-sized gem in his palm, he blew on it.
shuō wáng hún jiē mào yě bù wèi guò ， lái bù jí duǒ ， dàn tā zì rán yě bù kě néng zuò yǐ dài bì de 。
说亡魂皆冒也不为过，来不及躲，但他自然也不可能坐以待毙的。
A fierce light erupted as the round gem split into seven pieces. Each was enveloped by intense flames and transformed into a massive object over ten feet in diameter, falling like meteors towards their opponent.
yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī mǒ lì sè ， yòu shǒu mò rán cháo zhe qián fāng huī luò guò qù le 。
眼中闪过一抹厉色，右手蓦然朝着前方挥落过去了。
Lin Xuan and Tian Xiaojian's cooperation was seamless. Princess Ten Thousand Jiao's assistance, though not as precise, effectively tied down the enemy.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， yī dào lǜ guāng pò kōng ér chū 。
随着他的动作，一道绿光破空而出。
Even if it were just Old Immortal Ten Thousand Toxins, let alone a late-stage tribulation transcender in his place, he would likely be unable to withstand such an overwhelming force.
shì yī bā zhǎng dà xiǎo bǎo wù ， xíng zhuàng zé yǒu xiē mó hú ， yīn wèi yǒu guāng yùn bāo guǒ ， dàn hěn kuài ， jiù qīng xī qǐ lái le 。
是一巴掌大小宝物，形状则有些模糊，因为有光晕包裹，但很快，就清晰起来了。
With the disparity in strength so great, no tactics could help. There was nowhere to hide; only death awaited.
jū rán yǔ bǎn zhuàng xiāng chà fǎng fú ， dàn hěn kuài jiù biàn dà le bǎi bèi hái duō ， huà wèi páng rán jù wù ， cháo zhe lín xuān hěn hěn zá luò 。
居然与板状相差仿佛，但很快就变大了百倍还多，化为庞然巨物，朝着林轩狠狠砸落。
"Ah..."
zhè me dà de tǐ jī ， wēi lì bú yòng shuō ， zuì miào de shì ， hái yǒu dùn pái de xiào guǒ ， gāng hǎo kě yǐ jiāng jiàn guāng dǎng zhù 。
这么大的体积，威力不用说，最妙的是，还有盾牌的效果，刚好可以将剑光挡住。
A mournful cry echoed as Old Immortal Ten Thousand Toxins was devoured by a terrifying light. The void collapsed around them, and the earth's primordial energy became chaotic. Gale-force winds flattened everything within a hundred miles.
suí hòu ， shù tiáo dú mǎng ， yóu nà jù zhuān de biǎo miàn fú xiàn ér chū 。
随后，数条毒蟒，由那巨砖的表面浮现而出。
Old Immortal Ten Thousand Toxins didn't even manage to escape his yuanqi core, nor did the demonic consciousness that had possessed him; both were consumed by this terrifying power, vanishing in an instant.
zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo ， qì shì biāo hàn dào le jí chù 。
张牙舞爪，气势彪悍到了极处。
Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction as he had finally eliminated another outsider demon. Tian Xiaojian smiled, feeling elated at defeating a formidable enemy.
“ hēng ， táng bì dǎng chē ！”
“哼，螳臂挡车！”
But soon, his brow furrowed slightly. Lin Xuan had clearly escaped earlier and gone in the opposite direction. How could he suddenly appear here? Had he run into trouble?
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè 。
林轩的嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲之色。
Just like how Lin Xuan knew Tian Xiaojian well, Tian Xiaojian understood Lin Xuan equally well. After a moment's thought, he had an uneasy hunch.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， suí yì yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
右手抬起，随意一指向前点去。
But this was just speculation; the cultivation world was unpredictable. Who knew what might happen? At least for now, he didn't want to offend Lin Xuan.
rán ér suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， nà wàn qiān xī lì de jiàn guāng què wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé 。
然而随着他的动作，那万千犀利的剑光却往中间一合。
With a smile, he showed unusual warmth: "Brother, we meet again."
yì zhí jìng shí yú zhàng de jù jiàn fú xiàn ér chū ， sī háo yóu yù yě wú ， hěn hěn cháo zhe qián fāng zhǎn luò 。
一直径十余丈的巨剑浮现而出，丝毫犹豫也无，狠狠朝着前方斩落。
PS: It's Monday, and I'm asking for some recommendation votes. With the approaching New Year, I'll be busier, so please bear with me. Tomorrow, I'll try my best.
"What could I possibly plan? Let's just take it one step at a time."
Though Lin Xuan said this, his expression showed no trace of anxiety. "Don't worry. From the mortal realm to the Netherworld, we've faced countless storms and waves. How could we fall here in the Ten Thousand Mountains? Even if it were an outsider demon, there's nothing to be afraid of."
