“ shì a ， xiǎo jiàn xiōng dì ， zhè hái zhēn shì rén shēng hé chù bù xiāng féng ， néng yǔ xián dì chóng jù ， yú xiōng yě shí fēn huān xǐ 。”
“是啊，小剑兄弟，这还真是人生何处不相逢，能与贤弟重聚，愚兄也十分欢喜。”
"Indeed, Brother Little Sword, it's truly a case of meeting old friends in unexpected places. To reunite with you is indeed delightful for this elder brother."
lín xuān mǎn liǎn xiào yì ， wàng xiàng tián xiǎo jiàn de biǎo qíng ， yě shì zhe shí jīng xǐ ， fǎng fú liǎng rén zhēn shì zhī jiāo hǎo yǒu chóng jù 。
林轩满脸笑意，望向田小剑的表情，也是着实惊喜，仿佛两人真是知交好友重聚。
Lin Xuan wore a smile as he looked at Tian Xiaojian, his expression genuinely surprised, almost like they were long-lost friends.
“ dà gē bú shì yǐ jīng lí kāi le me ， zěn me huì zài zhè lǐ ？”
“大哥不是已经离开了么，怎么会在这里？”
"But didn't you leave already? How could you be here?"
tián xiǎo jiàn de yǎn zhōng ， liú lù chū yī sī bù yì chá jué de jǐng tì ， dàn hěn kuài jiù xiāo sàn bú jiàn le zōng jì 。
田小剑的眼中，流露出一丝不易察觉的警惕，但很快就消散不见了踪迹。
Tian Xiaojian's eyes revealed a trace of suspicion that quickly vanished.
“ zhè …… wèi xiōng yě shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， zhè fù jìn de lù ， fǎng fú bèi rén shī zhǎn le zhàng yǎn zhī shù ， rào lái rào qù tóu dōu yūn le ， bù zhī zěn me ， jiù lái dào le cǐ chù 。”
“这……为兄也是机缘巧合，这附近的路，仿佛被人施展了障眼之术，绕来绕去头都晕了，不知怎么，就来到了此处。”
"This... I happened to stumble upon this place. The path around here seems to have been altered by some trickery, and before I knew it, I found myself here."
lín xuān bàn zhēn bàn jiǎ de shuō 。
林轩半真半假的说。
Lin Xuan spoke half-truthfully.
tián xiǎo jiàn tīng le ， guǒ rán yǒu xiē hú yí ， nán dào lín xuān zhēn shì jī yuán qiǎo hé lái dào zhè lǐ 。
田小剑听了，果然有些狐疑，难道林轩真是机缘巧合来到这里。
Tian Xiaojian indeed seemed doubtful after hearing this. Could Lin Xuan really have stumbled into this place by chance?
bì jìng tā zì jǐ yù jiàn de qíng kuàng yě xiāng chà fǎng fú ， què bù zhī dào lín xuān jiāng zuì wèi zhòng yào de qíng kuàng qiǎo rán mán guò 。
毕竟他自己遇见的情况也相差仿佛，却不知道林轩将最为重要的情况悄然瞒过。
After all, his own situation was similar, but he didn't know that Lin Xuan had discreetly concealed the most critical details.
yù jiàn qín yán de shì qíng lín xuān jué bú huì shuō 。
遇见秦妍的事情林轩绝不会说。
Lin Xuan would not mention meeting Qin Yan.
zhè wèi yún zhōng xiān zi rú jīn yǐ shì yù wài tiān mó 。
这位云中仙子如今已是域外天魔。
The Cloud Fairy had already become a Transcendent Demon from Beyond the Realm. And she wasn't just any ordinary demon; if his guess was correct, she could be considered a formidable figure among the Demons of the Outer Heaven.
ér qiě bú shì qū qū yī dào mó niàn nà me róng yì duì fù ， ruò shì zì jǐ méi yǒu liào cuò ， kǒng pà zài tiān wài mó jūn zhōng yě suàn qiáng zhě 。
而且不是区区一道魔念那么容易对付，若是自己没有料错，恐怕在天外魔君中也算强者。
"Oh, then what are your plans now, Brother?" Tian Xiaojian continued to feign politeness.
“ ó ， nà dà gē xiàn zài yǒu shén me dǎ suàn ne ？”
“哦，那大哥现在有什么打算呢？”
"Ah..."
tián xiǎo jiàn jì xù xū yǔ wēi yí 。
田小剑继续虚与委蛇。
Lin Xuan's face showed signs of contemplation. His original intention was to leave as quickly as possible, but that wasn't so easy. Even the Immortal Talisman could only temporarily restrain Qin Yan.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
It was too late to leave now.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū sī kǎo zhī sè ， àn zhào běn yì ， tā zì rán shì xiǎng yào kuài diǎn lí kāi zhè lǐ ， rán ér nǎ ér yǒu nà me róng yì 。
林轩脸上露出思考之色，按照本意，他自然是想要快点离开这里，然而哪儿有那么容易。
As they say, share the joy and bear the hardship together.
jí biàn shì nà zhāng xiān fú ， yě bù guò shì jiāng qín yán zàn qiě kùn zhù 。
即便是那张仙符，也不过是将秦妍暂且困住。
Lin Xuan had chosen this direction with the intention of luring Tian Xiaojian into the same trouble. However, he couldn’t reveal his true intentions; otherwise, the other party would surely turn against him. Even if Lin Xuan wasn't afraid, it was better to maintain a facade than to break their face-to-face agreement.
zhè shí hòu xiǎng zǒu ， shì lái bù jí le 。
这时候想走，是来不及了。
Lin Xuan deliberately showed signs of contemplation on his face.
sú huà shuō ， yǒu fú tóng xiǎng yǒu nán tóng dāng 。
俗话说，有福同享有难同当。
But just then, a sigh entered his ears.
lín xuān xuǎn zé zhè ge fāng xiàng ， yuán běn dǎ dī zhǔ yì jiù shì hún shuǐ mō yú ， jiāng tián xiǎo jiàn yě tuō xià shuǐ qù 。
林轩选择这个方向，原本打的主意就是浑水摸鱼，将田小剑也拖下水去。
"Brother Lin, do you think you can escape like this?"
rán ér zhè huà ， zì rán bù kě néng shuō chū qù ， fǒu zé ， duì fāng fēi fān liǎn bù kě ， lín xuān suī rán bù jù ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè 。 nǎ pà shì xū yǐ wéi shé ， yě hǎo guò sī pò liǎn pí xǔ duō 。
然而这话，自然不可能说出去，否则，对方非翻脸不可，林轩虽然不惧，但此时此刻。哪怕是虚以为蛇，也好过撕破脸皮许多。
The voice was as melodious as the heavens. Qin Yan had arrived here much faster than Lin Xuan had anticipated.
lín xuān liǎn shàng gù yì lù chū yī sī chén yín zhī sè 。
林轩脸上故意露出一丝沉吟之色。
Tian Xiaojian's expression changed instantly. His gaze towards Lin Xuan turned with venomous hatred, but quickly returned to warmth.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yī tàn xī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
然而就在这时，一叹息声传入耳朵。
At this moment, he understood that Lin Xuan was using a strategy of diverting disaster.
“ lín xiōng ， nǐ yǐ wéi zhè yàng ， jiù pǎo dé le me ？”
“林兄，你以为这样，就跑得了么？”
But what if? It would be extremely unwise to turn against him now.
nà shēng yīn yǔ tiān lài xiāng chà fǎng fú ， qín yán jū rán yǐ jīng lái dào le cǐ chù ， bǐ lín xuān yù xiǎng de ， hái yào kuài shàng xǔ duō 。
那声音与天籁相差仿佛，秦妍居然已经来到了此处，比林轩预想的，还要快上许多。
In other words, whether he liked it or not, the silent loss had to be swallowed.
tián xiǎo jiàn de biǎo qíng yī xià zi biàn le 。
田小剑的表情一下子变了。
Tian Xiaojian felt extremely frustrated inside. But he wasn't an ordinary cultivator; despite his anger, he maintained a calm expression on his face.
wàng xiàng lín xuān de yǎn shén ， yě duō le yī sī yuàn dú ， dàn hěn kuài 。 yòu huī fù chéng le qīn rè zhī sè 。
望向林轩的眼神，也多了一丝怨毒，但很快。又恢复成了亲热之色。
"Brother, what's going on here?"
cǐ kè ， tā yǐ míng bái lín xuān shì zài wán huò shuǐ dōng yǐn zhī cè 。
此刻，他已明白林轩是在玩祸水东引之策。
"Poor brother, don’t listen to this woman’s slander. I have never met her before. Demons of the Outer Realm are most skilled at misleading people. Don’t believe anything she says," Lin Xuan said with righteous indignation.
kě zhī dào yòu rú hé ， zhè shí hòu fān liǎn shì jí bù míng zhì de 。
可知道又如何，这时候翻脸是极不明智的。
Tian Xiaojian rolled his eyes and managed not to curse out loud.
huàn jù huà shuō ， bù guǎn zì jǐ yuàn bù yuàn yì ， zhè ge yǎ ba kuī dōu zhǐ yǒu tūn luò jìn dǔ zi lǐ 。
换句话说，不管自己愿不愿意，这个哑巴亏都只有吞落进肚子里。
It was true that demons were good at misleading, but did you think he was a virtuous man?
tián xiǎo jiàn xīn zhōng biē qū yǐ jí 。
田小剑心中憋屈以极。
He sounded so innocent.
dàn tā dào dǐ bú shì pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， xīn zhōng suī rán fèn nù ， liǎn shàng yī jiù bǎo chí zhe píng jìng zhī sè 。
但他到底不是普通的修仙者，心中虽然愤怒，脸上依旧保持着平静之色。
This demon had been lured here by him.
“ dà gē ， zhè jiū jìng shì zěn me yī huí shì ne ？”
“大哥，这究竟是怎么一回事呢？”
But despite his anger, the situation demanded cooperation. Tian Xiaojian felt extremely frustrated.
“ xián dì ， nǐ bú yào tīng zhè nǚ zǐ tiǎo bō 。 wǒ yǔ tā cóng wèi jiàn guò ， yù wài tiān mó zuì shàn cháng gǔ huò rén xīn ， tā shuō de shén me huà nǐ dōu bú yào xiāng xìn 。” lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng nà jiào yí gè yì fèn tián yīng 。
“贤弟，你不要听这女子挑拨。我与她从未见过，域外天魔最擅长蛊惑人心，她说的什么话你都不要相信。”林轩脸上的表情那叫一个义愤填膺。
Perhaps because of his frustration, he flicked his sleeves and a beam of light shot forward directly towards Qin Yan.
tián xiǎo jiàn fān le yí gè bái yǎn ， qiáng rěn zhe cái méi yǒu pò kǒu dà mà chū qù 。
田小剑翻了一个白眼，强忍着才没有破口大骂出去。
All his pent-up resentment was directed at the demon.
yù wài tiān mó shì shàn cháng gǔ huò rén xīn méi cuò 。 kě nán dào nǐ jiù shì shén me shàn nán xìn nǚ ？
域外天魔是擅长蛊惑人心没错。可难道你就是什么善男信女？
"Little Sword, no."
shuō dé hǎo xiàng hěn wú gū de yàng zi 。
说得好像很无辜的样子。
The demon leader remained calm. Although he thought Lin Xuan's actions were despicable, acting now would be too foolish.
zhè yù wài tiān mó ， míng míng jiù shì nǐ yǐn guò lái de 。
这域外天魔，明明就是你引过来的。
Old hands know best. Tian Xiaojian couldn't suppress his anger any longer, but the demon leader’s reaction was much more rational.
rán ér nù guī nù ， zhè shí hòu hái dé yǐ dà jú wèi zhòng ， yǔ lín xuān lián shǒu yù dí 。 tián xiǎo jiàn xīn zhōng ， bié tí yǒu duō me biē qū 。
然而怒归怒，这时候还得以大局为重，与林轩联手御敌。田小剑心中，别提有多么憋屈。
But by then, it was too late to stop him.
huò xǔ shì yīn wèi yù mèn de yuán gù 。
或许是因为郁闷的缘故。
The blade of light streaked across the sky and instantly crossed a hundred meters, reaching Qin Yan's body.
zhǐ jiàn tā xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào guāng huá fēi lüè ér chū 。 zhí jiē xiàng zhe qián fāng pī cì ér qù 。
只见他袖袍一拂，一道光华飞掠而出。直接向着前方劈刺而去。
It wasn’t one of Tian Xiaojian’s life-bound treasures, but the demonic sword had an ancient appearance. A demon head carved into its handle looked lifelike, clearly not a common item.
mǎn fù yuàn qì ， dōu fā xiè xiàng le qián fāng de yù wài tiān mó 。
满腹怨气，都发泄像了前方的域外天魔。
Demonic energy poured down, almost enveloping Qin Yan's delicate figure.
“ jiàn ér ， bù kě 。”
“剑儿，不可。”
But Qin Yan smiled.
mó zú dà tǒng lǐng yào lěng jìng xǔ duō ， tā suī rán yě jué de lín xuān bēi bǐ ， dàn zhè shí hòu chū shǒu ， shí zài shì tài yú chǔn le xiē 。
魔族大统领要冷静许多，他虽然也觉得林轩卑鄙，但这时候出手，实在是太愚蠢了些。
She raised her jade hand and gently pointed forward.
jiāng hái shì lǎo de là ， tián xiǎo jiàn yǐ yà yì bú zhù xīn zhōng de nù huǒ ， mó zú dà tǒng lǐng de fǎn yìng ， zé yào lǐ zhì xǔ duō 。
姜还是老的辣，田小剑已讶异不住心中的怒火，魔族大统领的反应，则要理智许多。
The action was slow yet urgent,蕴藏着难以言喻的law or principle之力。
kě zhè shí hòu chū shēng zǔ zhǐ ， yě yǐ jīng wǎn le 。
可这时候出声阻止，也已经晚了。
"Bang!"
nà lǚ dāo guāng fēng chí diàn chè ， qǐng kè jiān jiù kuà yuè bǎi zhàng jù lí ， lái dào qín yán shēn qián le 。
那缕刀光风驰电掣，顷刻间就跨越百丈距离，来到秦妍身前了。
The black light shattered. The demonic sword instantly turned into a shower of fragments, breaking apart and falling from the sky.
bìng fēi tián xiǎo jiàn de běn mìng bǎo wù ， dàn nà mó dāo yě shì yàng gǔ piáo ， zài shǒu bǐng zhī chù ， hái yǒu yī è guǐ de tóu lú ， xǔ xǔ rú shēng ， yī kàn jiù bú shì fán wù 。
并非田小剑的本命宝物，但那魔刀也式样古朴，在手柄之处，还有一恶鬼的头颅，栩栩如生，一看就不是凡物。
"What...?"
mó qì gǔn gǔn ér luò ， jī hū yào jiāng qín yán de jiāo qū bāo guǒ 。
魔气滚滚而落，几乎要将秦妍的娇躯包裹。
An expert could tell at a glance. Tian Xiaojian's face showed shock and anger as he finally understood why Lin Xuan had also fled in panic.
rán ér qín yán què xiào le 。
然而秦妍却笑了。
Her strength was indeed formidable, no, extremely difficult to deal with.
yù shǒu tái qǐ ， qīng qīng xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
玉手抬起，轻轻向前点去。
If it were him, he would have made the same choice—use the strategy of diverting disaster.
zhè dòng zuò shì huǎn shí jí ， què yùn yù zhe nán yǐ yán yù de fǎ zé zhī lì 。
这动作似缓实急，却蕴育着难以言喻的法则之力。
This thought softened his resentment towards Lin Xuan.
“ pēng ！”
“嘭！”
They still needed to cooperate. Any grudges could wait until later; undermining each other now wouldn't benefit anyone.
nà hēi sè de guāng huá yīng shēng ér pò ， zhè bǐng mó dāo jìng qǐng kè jiān huà wèi màn tiān suì yǔ ， duàn liè ， yóu tiān kōng zhōng sǎ luò xià qù 。
那黑色的光华应声而破，这柄魔刀竟顷刻间化为漫天碎雨，断裂，由天空中洒落下去。
Tian Xiaojian understood this clearly.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
But Qin Yan wasn’t about to let him off easily.
háng jia yī shēn shǒu ， jiù zhī yǒu méi yǒu 。
行家一伸手，就知有没有。
She flicked her hand, and the demonic energy condensed into two talismans that floated towards Tian Xiaojian.
duì fāng yī jī ， jiù jiāng zì jǐ de bǎo wù pò chú ， tián xiǎo jiàn de liǎn shàng ， yě bù yóu de lù chū jīng nù ， zhōng yú míng bái lín xuān ， wèi hé yě huì luò huāng ér táo le 。
对方一击，就将自己的宝物破除，田小剑的脸上，也不由得露出惊怒，终于明白林轩，为何也会落荒而逃了。
"What kind of spell is this?"
duì fāng de shí lì què shí bù sú ， bù ， shì fēi cháng de bù hǎo duì fù 。
对方的实力确实不俗，不，是非常的不好对付。
Even with his extensive knowledge, Tian Xiaojian was stunned. It wasn't a smart choice to hard-engage without knowing what it was.
huàn zuò zì jǐ ， yì dì ér chǔ ， kǒng pà yě huì zuò chū tóng yàng de xuǎn zé 。
换做自己，易地而处，恐怕也会做出同样的选择。
He quickly retreated as he moved.
wán nà huò shuǐ dōng yǐn zhī cè 。
玩那祸水东引之策。
But the two talismans flickered and disappeared from their original positions.
zhè me yī xiǎng ， xīn zhōng duì lín xuān de è gǎn dǎo shì àn dàn le xǔ duō 。
这么一想，心中对林轩的恶感倒是黯淡了许多。
In an instant, space became blurry, appearing beside Tian Xiaojian.
jiē xià lái ， liǎng rén hái dé lián shǒu ， yǒu shén me ēn yuàn ， nà yě shì yǐ hòu zài shuō ， rú jīn hù xiāng chāi tái de huà ， duì shuí yě méi yǒu hǎo chù 。
接下来，两人还得联手，有什么恩怨，那也是以后再说，如今互相拆台的话，对谁也没有好处。
Spatiallaw or principle!
zhè yì diǎn ， tián xiǎo jiàn xīn zhōng qīng chǔ 。
这一点，田小剑心中清楚。
Tian Xiaojian was alarmed.
ér qín yán zhè shí hòu ， kě bù huì jiāng tā fàng guò 。
而秦妍这时候，可不会将他放过。
It was too late to dodge.
yù shǒu yī fú 。
玉手一拂。
A "bang" sounded as the talisman exploded, revealing bloody blade light...
shēn qián de mó qì níng jù ér chū ， suí hòu jū rán huàn huà chéng le liǎng zhāng fú lù ， mó guāng shǎn shǎn ， xiàng zhe tián xiǎo jiàn piāo sàn ér lái 。
身前的魔气凝聚而出，随后居然幻化成了两张符箓，魔光闪闪，向着田小剑飘散而来。
The situation had changed suddenly. A cultivator would likely have perished under such circumstances. But Tian Xiaojian's position wasn't dire. He didn’t panic.
“ zhè shì shén me fǎ shù ？”
“这是什么法术？”
A fierce expression appeared on his face as dark demonic energy surged from his body. Therunes burst forth and transformed into a pitch-black demonic armor.
yǐ tián xiǎo jiàn jiàn shí guǎng bó ， yě bù yóu de dāi zhù ， ná niē bù zhǔn ， yìng jiē jiù bú shì cōng míng de xuǎn zé 。
以田小剑见识广博，也不由得呆住，拿捏不准，硬接就不是聪明的选择。
Although the appearance of the armor was ancient, it emitted traces oflaw or principle之力.
shēn xíng yī shǎn ， tā jí sù tuì hòu 。
身形一闪，他急速退后。
Was it an innate object?
rán ér nà liǎng zhāng fú lù lüè yī shǎn shuò ， jū rán xiǎng cóng yuán dì bú jiàn le 。
然而那两张符箓略一闪烁，居然想从原地不见了。
As he thought this, bloody blade light struck fiercely.
xià yī kè ， kōng jiān mó hú ， chū xiàn zài tián xiǎo jiàn de shēn cè 。
下一刻，空间模糊，出现在田小剑的身侧。
"Bang!"
kōng jiān fǎ zé ！
空间法则！
The light exploded, sending Tian Xiaojian flying backward. But his body showed no injuries; the defense of that armor was indeed formidable.
tián xiǎo jiàn dà jīng shī sè 。
田小剑大惊失色。
But the situation wasn't over. The blade light didn’t work and instead twisted into two demonic snakes, wrapping around Tian Xiaojian.
xiǎng shǎn ， yǐ jīng lái bù jí 。
想闪，已经来不及。
Then Qin Yan summoned her Demon Sword.
“ pēng ” de yī shēng chuán lái ， fú lù bào kāi ， xuè sè de dāo guāng sà rán fú xiàn ……
“嘭”的一声传来，符箓爆开，血色的刀光飒然浮现……
With ten fingers flicking, various spells shot out, rapidly enlarging the Demon Sword.
biàn qǐ cāng cù ， huàn yī míng xiū xiān zhě ， duō bàn huì shì yǔn luò de jié guǒ ， tián xiǎo jiàn de chǔ jìng ， yě bù lì dào jí chù ， dàn tā bìng méi yǒu jīng huāng shī cuò 。
变起仓促，换一名修仙者，多半会是陨落的结果，田小剑的处境，也不利到极处，但他并没有惊慌失措。
Surrounding primordial energy was sucked in, making it extremely sharp.
liǎn shàng lì sè yī xiǎn ， gǔn gǔn de mó qì ， yóu tā de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn fú xiàn ， fú wén pēn bó ， huàn huà chū yī qī hēi de mó jiǎ lái le 。
脸上厉色一显，滚滚的魔气，由他的身体表面浮现，符文喷薄，幻化出一漆黑的魔甲来了。
The sword then descended heavily towards Tian Xiaojian.
nà mó jiǎ de shì yàng qiě bù tí ， chōng mǎn le gǔ piáo de qì xī ， shàng miàn gèng sī sī yì sàn chū fǎ zé zhī lì 。
那魔甲的式样且不提，充满了古朴的气息，上面更丝丝逸散出法则之力。
"Bad move!"
nán dào shì xiān tiān zhī wù ？
难道是先天之物？
Tian Xiaojian tried to dodge but found himself tightly bound. He also discovered that his extremely refined magical power couldn't be summoned up.
zhè ge niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， jiù jiàn nà xuè sè de dāo guāng hěn hěn zhǎn shàng qù le 。
这个念头转过，就见那血色的刀光狠狠斩上去了。

"Indeed, Brother Little Sword, it's truly a case of meeting old friends in unexpected places. To reunite with you is indeed delightful for this elder brother."
Lin Xuan wore a smile as he looked at Tian Xiaojian, his expression genuinely surprised, almost like they were long-lost friends.
"But didn't you leave already? How could you be here?"
Tian Xiaojian's eyes revealed a trace of suspicion that quickly vanished.
