xiū xiān zhě shí lì rú hé ， fǎ lì ， kě yǐ shuō shì zuì wèi zhòng yào de yīn shù ， fǒu zé bǎo wù yě hǎo ， mì shù yě bà ， jǐn jiē shī zhǎn bù chū 。
修仙者实力如何，法力，可以说是最为重要的因数，否则宝物也好，秘术也罢，尽皆施展不出。
The strength of a cultivator was largely dependent on their cultivation power. Otherwise, even treasures and secret techniques could not be utilized.
méi yǒu fǎ lì zuò wèi gēn jī ， shèn zhì lián fú lù dōu wú fǎ kāi qǐ ， ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tián xiǎo jiàn jiù miàn lín zhè yàng gān gà ér lìng rén tóu téng de jié jú 。
没有法力做为根基，甚至连符箓都无法开启，而此时此刻，田小剑就面临这样尴尬而令人头疼的结局。
Field Xiao Jian found himself in an awkward and vexing situation at this moment due to his lack of cultivation power as the foundation.
dōu shì yī shí dà yì 。
都是一时大意。
It was all because he had been careless for a moment.
tián xiǎo jiàn de xīn zhōng ào nǎo yǐ jí 。
田小剑的心中懊恼以极。
Rage filled Field Xiao Jian's heart.
fǒu zé ， yǎn qián de yún zhōng xiān zi shí lì zài lí pǔ ， yě bù kě néng yí gè zhào miàn ， jiù jiāng zì jǐ bī pò dào rú cǐ dì bù 。
否则，眼前的云中仙子实力再离谱，也不可能一个照面，就将自己逼迫到如此地步。
Otherwise, no matter how powerful the Fairy of Drifting Clouds before him might be, it would not have been possible for her to force him into such a dire situation in just one exchange.
kě shì yǐ zhì cǐ ， zài shuō zhè xiē yòu yǒu shén me yòng ne ？
可事已至此，再说这些又有什么用呢？
But now that things had come to this point, what use was there in complaining?
xiū xiān jiè ruò ròu qiáng shí ， yuán běn jiù bù cún zài hòu huǐ zhè zhǒng shì 。
修仙界弱肉强食，原本就不存在后悔这种事。
In the cultivation world, survival of the fittest prevailed. There was no room for regrets.
tián xiǎo jiàn de chǔ jìng xiǎn è yǐ jí ， dàn tā bìng bù dǎ suàn fàng qì 。
田小剑的处境险恶以极，但他并不打算放弃。
Field Xiao Jian's predicament was extremely perilous, but he did not intend to give up.
rú cǐ duō dà fēng dà làng zì jǐ dōu chuǎng guò lái le ， zěn me kě yǐ zài zhè lǐ yǔn luò ？
如此多大风大浪自己都闯过来了，怎么可以在这里陨落？
He had faced countless trials and tribulations; how could he fall here?
zài yīn sī dì fǔ ， tiān shā míng wáng yǔ jīn yuè shī wáng xiǎng yào zì jǐ de mìng yì bù kě dé ， qū qū yí gè yù wài tiān mó yòu suàn dé le shén me 。
在阴司地府，天煞明王与金玥尸王想要自己的命亦不可得，区区一个域外天魔又算得了什么。
Even if the Heaven-Defying King and Golden Jade Corpse King wanted his life in the Underworld, it was still nothing compared to a mere demon from beyond the heavens.
tián xiǎo jiàn yǎn dōu hóng le 。
田小剑眼都红了。
Field Xiao Jian's eyes turned bloodshot.
rán ér liú gěi tā de shí jiān zhe shí bù duō 。
然而留给他的时间着实不多。
However, time was running out for him.
yǎn kàn zhe tiān mó jiàn yǐ pī dào le cǐ chù ， zhè shí hòu jí shǐ zhèng tuō shù fù yě lái bù jí duǒ 。
眼看着天魔剑已劈到了此处，这时候即使挣脱束缚也来不及躲。
As the Demon Sword sliced towards him, even if he managed to break free, there would be no time to dodge.
nán dào shuō ， zì jǐ zhēn de yào yǔn luò ， yǐ jīng wú lì huí tiān le me ？
难道说，自己真的要陨落，已经无力回天了么？
Was this really his end? Was there nothing he could do?
zhè ge niàn tou zài nǎo hǎi zhōng zhuǎn guò ， jiù kàn jiàn yǎn qián de xū kōng yī zhèn mó hú 。
这个念头在脑海中转过，就看见眼前的虚空一阵模糊。
The thought flashed through his mind as a sudden blurring appeared before his eyes.
shēn xíng yī shǎn ， lín xuān jū rán dǎng zài le tā de shēn qián 。
身形一闪，林轩居然挡在了他的身前。
Suddenly, Lin Xuan stood in front of him.
“ dà gē ！”
“大哥！”
"Big Brother!"
“ xián dì ， wǒ lái zhù nǐ 。”
“贤弟，我来助你。”
"Poor brother, I'll help you."
lín xuān yì xiǎn de shì fēi cháng de yì qì ， nán wéi zhè liǎng gè jiā huo ， zài zhè ge shí kè ， hái yào wán xū yǔ wēi yí 。
林轩亦显得是非常的义气，难为这两个家伙，在这个时刻，还要玩虚与委蛇。
Lin Xuan's demeanor showed his loyalty and sense of duty, despite the two of them playing a game at this critical moment.
lín xuān zhè me zuò ， dāng rán bú shì zhēn duì tián xiǎo jiàn yǔn luò ， yǒu shén me bù shě ， ér shì tā míng bái tián xiǎo jiàn ruò shì hún fēi pò sàn diào le ， zì jǐ de chǔ jìng ， yì hǎo bù le xǔ duō 。
林轩这么做，当然不是真对田小剑陨落，有什么不舍，而是他明白田小剑若是魂飞魄散掉了，自己的处境，亦好不了许多。
Of course, he did not genuinely want Field Xiao Jian to perish; there was no attachment or reluctance. He understood that if Field Xiao Jian were to lose his soul and essence, his own situation would be just as dire.
sú huà shuō ， chún wáng chǐ hán ， bù guǎn qín yán 。 shì bú shì zhēn shì yù wài tiān mó ， zhǎn xiàn chū lái de shí lì dōu qiáng dà dào jí chù 。
俗话说，唇亡齿寒，不管秦妍。是不是真是域外天魔，展现出来的实力都强大到极处。
As they say, when lips are gone, teeth feel the cold. Qin Yan's true strength, whether she was a demon from beyond the heavens or not, was formidable.
ruò shì huàn yí gè dì fāng ， dǎ bù guò ， zì jǐ hái kě yǐ táo ， hái kě yǐ duǒ 。
若是换一个地方，打不过，自己还可以逃，还可以躲。
If it had been any other place, he could have fled or hidden, but here in the Ten Thousand Mountains, the illusory techniques were too intricate to easily break through with his maximum effort.
rán ér cǐ kè ， shí wàn dà shān yǐ bù mǎn le xuán miào de huàn shù ， zì jǐ jié jìn quán lì ， yě bù kě néng qīng yì pò chú 。
然而此刻，十万大山已布满了玄妙的幻术，自己竭尽全力，也不可能轻易破除。
In short, the only way out was to defeat this woman.
huàn jù huà shuō ， wéi yī de chū lù ， jiù zhǐ yǒu jiāng cǐ nǚ dǎ bài le 。
换句话说，唯一的出路，就只有将此女打败了。
With that thought, how could Lin Xuan bear to see Field Xiao Jian perish? An extra ally would always be beneficial.
jì rán rú cǐ 。 lín xuān nǎ lǐ shě de tián xiǎo jiàn yǔn luò ， duō yí gè bāng shǒu ， zǒng shì hǎo de 。
既然如此。林轩哪里舍得田小剑陨落，多一个帮手，总是好的。
The Demon Sword's power was formidable, but Lin Xuan's Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was no ordinary treasure either.
tiān mó jiàn wēi lì bù sú ， dàn lín xuān de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yě bú shì pǔ tōng de bǎo wù 。
天魔剑威力不俗，但林轩的九宫须臾剑也不是普通的宝物。
A fierce gale arose as the two clashed violently, sending both of them flying backward.
yī shí jiān ， gāng fēng dà qǐ ， jù liè de pèng zhuàng ， dài dé liǎng rén dōu xiàng hòu miàn fēi guò qù le 。
一时间，罡风大起，剧烈的碰撞，带得两人都像后面飞过去了。
"Boom!"
“ hōng ！”
“轰！”
A muffled thunderous sound echoed in his ears as Lin Xuan crashed into the mountain interior.
mèn léi bān de shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì lín xuān zhí jiē zhuàng jìn le shān fù 。
闷雷般的声传入耳朵，却是林轩直接撞进了山腹。
Only his body strength, comparable to that of a peer-level monster, saved him from certain death. Otherwise, he would have suffered severe injuries or even perished.
yě jiù tā de ròu shēn qiáng dù ， kān bǐ tóng jiē yāo zú 。 fǒu zé huàn zuò pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， jí biàn bù yǔn luò ， yě fēi zhòng shāng tù xiě bù kě 。
也就他的肉身强度，堪比同阶妖族。否则换做普通的修仙者，即便不陨落，也非重伤吐血不可。
Qin Yan's situation was much better; she only flew several feet before stopping.
qín yán de qíng kuàng zé yào hǎo dé duō ， jǐn jǐn fēi chū shù zhàng jiù yǐ tíng zhù 。
秦妍的情况则要好得多，仅仅飞出数丈就已停住。
But before he could act, a loud crackle filled the air as thick black lightning bolts suddenly shot down from above.
rán ér hái bù děng tā yǒu suǒ dòng zuò 。 tóu dǐng shàng kōng ， tū rán pī lì shēng dà zuò ， yī dào dào er bì cū de hēi sè diàn hú ， tū rán yī pēn ér xià le 。
然而还不等他有所动作。头顶上空，突然霹雳声大做，一道道儿臂粗的黑色电弧，突然一喷而下了。
And that was not all.
ér zhè hái méi yǒu jié shù 。
而这还没有结束。
Following this, another sound of something piercing the air reached his ears. Field Xiao Jian had taken out histreasure of life (life treasure), but did not summon it forth.
jǐn jiē zhe 。 yòu yǒu pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì tián xiǎo jiàn qǔ chū le běn mìng bǎo wù 。
紧接着。又有破空声传入耳朵，却是田小剑取出了本命宝物。
Instead, he held two knives in both hands and crouched into a horse stance, chopping forward with each strike, heavy as mountains.
rán ér què méi yǒu jiāng qí jì chū 。
然而却没有将其祭出。
Sharp blade energy erupted from his actions, causing the void to crumble under such an assault.
fǎn ér shuāng shǒu chí dāo ， dūn le yí gè mǎ bù 。 yī dāo yī dāo níng zhòng rú shān de xiàng qián kǎn chū 。
反而双手持刀，蹲了一个马步。一刀一刀凝重如山的向前砍出。
Field Xiao Jian had nearly perished at her hands; how could he bear it? Now that he had freed himself from the demon snake, his cultivation power recovered, and he began his retaliation without hesitation.
xī lì de dāo qì ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò bèng fā ér chū ， xū kōng zài zhè yàng de gōng jī miàn qián jìng rán yǒu rú zhǐ hú ， qǐng kè jiān jiù zhī lí pò suì diào le 。
犀利的刀气，随着他的动作迸发而出，虚空在这样的攻击面前竟然有如纸糊，顷刻间就支离破碎掉了。
Even a late-stage Golden Transformation cultivator would have retreated three steps.
gāng cái chà diǎn yǔn luò zài cǐ nǚ de shǒu lǐ ， tián xiǎo jiàn xīn zhōng ， rú hé hǎo shòu dé xià qù ， cǐ kè yǐ jiāng mó shé zhèng tuō ， tā de fǎ lì huī fù ， biàn háo bù yóu yù de kāi shǐ le bào fù 。
刚才差点陨落在此女的手里，田小剑心中，如何好受得下去，此刻已将魔蛇挣脱，他的法力恢复，便毫不犹豫的开始了报复。
However, Qin Yan's expression remained unchanged.
shǒu duàn yī chū ， biàn shì dù jié hòu qī de xiū shì ， kǒng pà yě dé tuì bì sān shè 。
手段一出，便是渡劫后期的修士，恐怕也得退避三舍。
Whether indifferent or calm, she casually raised her hand, and a green light shot out, turning into an enormous jade umbrella in mid-air to intercept the lightning bolts.
rán ér qín yán de biǎo qíng ， yī jiù shì sī háo dòng róng yě wú 。
然而秦妍的表情，依旧是丝毫动容也无。
The umbrella-like shield deflected the black lightning without causing any ripples.
shuō mò rán yě hǎo ， shuō yún dàn fēng qīng yě bà ， zhǐ jiàn suí yì de jiāng shǒu yī tái ， yī dào qīng hóng jī shè ， lüè yī zhuǎn zhé ， zhí jiē huà wèi huà wèi zhàng xǔ dà de yī zhī yù sǎn wǎng kōng zhōng yíng qù le 。
说漠然也好，说云淡风轻也罢，只见随意的将手一抬，一道青虹激射，略一转折，直接化为化为丈许大的一只玉伞往空中迎去了。
Field Xiao Jian's expression changed drastically; he knew his own abilities well. This was not ordinary lightning; although it wasn't his ultimate technique, its power was formidable, and it had been easily blocked.
yǔ sǎn chēng kāi ， jiù rú tóng yí miàn yǎ zhì de dùn pái ， nà hēi sè de léi diàn luò zài shàng miàn ， jìng wú fǎ xiān qǐ shén me bō lán 。
雨伞撑开，就如同一面雅致的盾牌，那黑色的雷电落在上面，竟无法掀起什么波澜。
Damn it, I can't hide my weaknesses anymore; I must use some of the most powerful secret techniques.
tián xiǎo jiàn bó rán sè biàn ， zì jǐ de shén tōng zì jǐ zuì qīng chǔ ， zhè kě bú shì shén me pǔ tōng de léi diàn ， suī rán suàn bù dé yā xiāng dǐ de gōng fu ， dàn wēi lì yě shì bù sú ， jū rán qīng miáo dàn xiě jiù bèi dǎng xià le 。
田小剑勃然色变，自己的神通自己最清楚，这可不是什么普通的雷电，虽然算不得压箱底的功夫，但威力也是不俗，居然轻描淡写就被挡下了。
But before this thought could fully form, Qin Yan began to counterattack.
kě wù ， guǒ rán bù néng cáng zhuō ， bì xū shǐ yòng jǐ zhǒng zuì wèi lì hài de mì shù 。
可恶，果然不能藏拙，必须使用几种最为厉害的秘术。
Her expression remained calm as she watched the True Demon Shattered Void Blade's energy approach her.
rán ér zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， qín yán jū rán yǐ jīng kāi shǐ fǎn jī le 。
然而这个念头尚未转过，秦妍居然已经开始反击了。
Suddenly, she extended her hand and drew a circle in mid-air.
tā de shén sè yī jiù shì píng jìng wú bō ， yǎn kàn zhēn mó suì kōng dāo pī chū de dāo qì lái dào zì jǐ jìn chù 。
她的神色依旧是平静无波，眼看真魔碎空刀劈出的刀气来到自己近处。
Then, something appeared before her—a mirror-like object.
qín yán tū rán jiāng yù shǒu shēn chū ， zài xū kōng zhōng zuò le yí gè huà yuán de dòng zuò 。
秦妍突然将玉手伸出，在虚空中做了一个画圆的动作。
Not a real treasure; it was conjured from her cultivation power.
suí hòu tā de shēn qián liàng le qǐ lái ， què shì duō le yí miàn jìng zi mú yàng de bǎo wù 。
随后她的身前亮了起来，却是多了一面镜子模样的宝物。
What could it be used for?
bú duì ， nà bú shì zhēn zhèng de bǎo wù ， shì yòng fǎ lì níng jù chū lái de 。
不对，那不是真正的宝物，是用法力凝聚出来的。
Field Xiao Jian was still puzzled when Qin Yan's lips moved, uttering a short but obscure incantation.
yǒu shén me yòng chǔ ？
有什么用处？
For some reason, an ominous feeling arose in his heart.
tián xiǎo jiàn xīn zhōng shàng zài yí huò ， jiù jiàn qín yán tán kǒu wēi qǐ ， tǔ chū yī chuàn jí wéi duǎn cù de zhòu yǔ ， huì sè gǔ piáo ， què shuō bù qīng chǔ ， niàn de jiū jìng shì shén me 。
田小剑心中尚在疑惑，就见秦妍檀口微启，吐出一串极为短促的咒语，晦涩古朴，却说不清楚，念的究竟是什么。
Sure enough, several consecutive lightning bolts collided with the mirror. The surface blurred momentarily before reflecting them back.
bù zhī wèi hé ， tā xīn zhōng jìng yǒu bù hǎo de yù gǎn fú xiàn ér chū 。
不知为何，他心中竟有不好的预感浮现而出。
"Impossible!"
guǒ bù qí rán ， yī lián qī bā dào dào dāo qì yǔ nà jìng zi xiāng chù ， jìng miàn yī zhèn mó hú ， suí hòu jìng rán …… jìng rán jiāng nà dāo qì fǎn tán le huí lái 。
果不其然，一连七八道到刀气与那镜子相触，镜面一阵模糊，随后竟然……竟然将那刀气反弹了回来。
Field Xiao Jian widened his eyes; he had not held anything back when he attacked. These bolt's power was unparalleled. Even late-stage Golden Transformation cultivators would hesitate to face it head-on, but she reflected it.
“ bù kě néng ！”
“不可能！”
Even a demon from beyond the heavens would find this too outrageous. When did Qin Yan become so formidable?
tián xiǎo jiàn dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， gāng cái chū shǒu ， zì jǐ kě shì sī háo bǎo liú yě wú ， zhè xiē dāo qì de wēi lì ， jué duì shì wú yǐ lún bǐ ， jiù suàn shì dù jié hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， shí yǒu bā jiǔ yě bù yuàn yì zhí yīng qí fēng de ， ér duì fāng ， jū rán jiāng tā fǎn tán le 。
田小剑瞪大了眼珠，刚才出手，自己可是丝毫保留也无，这些刀气的威力，绝对是无以伦比，就算是渡劫后期的老怪物，十有八九也不愿意直缨其锋的，而对方，居然将它反弹了。
There was no time for contemplation; she was now using his own technique against him. Field Xiao Jian knew the power of this technique well and dodged frantically to avoid being hit.
jiù suàn shì yù wài tiān mó ， zhè yě wèi miǎn tài lí pǔ ， qín yán shén me shí hòu ， jìng rán biàn dé zhè me lì hài le ？
就算是域外天魔，这也未免太离谱，秦妍什么时候，竟然变得这么厉害了？
Qin Yan stood still, her expression as calm as ever.
méi yǒu shí jiān sī suǒ ， xiàn zài duì fāng xiāng dāng yú shì zài yǐ bǐ zhī dào ， hái shī bǐ shēn ， duì yú zhè shén tōng de wēi lì ， tián xiǎo jiàn xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， suǒ yǐ zuǒ shǎn yòu duǒ ， bèi dǎ zhòng kě bú shì hǎo wán de 。
没有时间思索，现在对方相当于是在以彼之道，还施彼身，对于这神通的威力，田小剑心中有数，所以左闪右躲，被打中可不是好玩的。
Suddenly, a faint lotus flower drifted down with the wind, quietly appearing above Qin Yan's head.
qín yán zhàn zài yuán dì ， shén sè yī jiù dàn rán yǐ jí 。
秦妍站在原地，神色依旧淡然以极。
This woman was so unaware that it highlighted how advanced her concealment techniques were.
tū rán ， yī duǒ dàn dàn de lián huā suí fēng piāo sàn ér xià ， zài bù zhī bù jué jiān ， yǐ qiāo qiāo dùn dào le qín yán de tóu dǐng 。
突然，一朵淡淡的莲花随风飘散而下，在不知不觉间，已悄悄遁到了秦妍的头顶。
Whirr...
cǐ nǚ shàng měng dǒng wú zhī ， yóu cǐ kě jiàn dùn shù shì hé qí de gāo míng 。
此女尚懵懂无知，尤此可见遁术是何其的高明。
A silver lotus suddenly appeared and bloomed silently.
yī zhèn fēng guā guò ， nà yín lián tū rán shǎn xiàn ér chū 。
一阵风刮过，那银莲突然闪现而出。
Silver threads burst out from the lotus, like a storm of arrows, lightning, and needles piercing through the air, showering down on the Fairy of Drifting Clouds.
lüè yī mó hú ， biàn qiǎo rán shèng kāi le 。
略一模糊，便悄然盛开了。
Above the lotus, Mo Er's hands moved rapidly with magical techniques. Clearly, this was her driving force, making it non-trivial.
pēng ……
嘭……
In just one exchange, she completely enveloped Qin Yan, leaving no place to hide.
cóng lián huā zhōng bào shè chū yī péng yín sī ， rú jí fēng zhòu yǔ ， shì shǎn diàn jīng hóng ， fǎng fú wú shù niú máo xì zhēn chuān kōng ér guò ， pī tóu gài liǎn de xiàng zhe yún zhōng xiān zi bào shè guò qù le 。
从莲花中爆射出一篷银丝，如疾风骤雨，似闪电惊虹，仿佛无数牛毛细针穿空而过，劈头盖脸的向着云中仙子爆射过去了。
Then, she was pierced through entirely.
ér zài lián huā de shàng kōng ， yuè ér shuāng shǒu fǎ jué biàn huàn bù yǐ ， xiǎn rán cǐ fǎ shù ， shì yóu tā qū cè ， guǒ rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
而在莲花的上空，月儿双手法诀变幻不已，显然此法术，是由她驱策，果然非同小可。
Princess Ten Thousand Serpents rejoiced and charged forward without hesitation; among the four of them, she was the weakest but still had the courage to beat a fallen foe.
jī hū shì yí gè zhào miàn ， jiù jiāng qín yán wán quán lǒng zhào zhù ， duǒ wú kě duǒ 。
几乎是一个照面，就将秦妍完全笼罩住，躲无可躲。
Reap what you sow. This time, I will get my revenge.
suí hòu ， tā zhěng gè rén dōu bèi guàn chuān diào le 。
随后，她整个人都被贯穿掉了。
But before this thought could fully form, Qin Yan's figure blurred and vanished.
wàn jiāo gōng zhǔ dà xǐ ， háo bù yóu yù de chōng le shàng qù ， sì rén zhōng ， yǐ tā de shí lì zuì ruò ， dàn tòng dǎ luò shuǐ gǒu de yǒng qì ， yě hái shì yǒu de 。
万蛟公主大喜，毫不犹豫的冲了上去，四人中，以她的实力最弱，但痛打落水狗的勇气，也还是有的。
The one just pierced through was an illusion; her true body emerged from the demon energy, enveloped by dense demonic aura, and rushed forward without pause. (To be continued)
The strength of a cultivator was largely dependent on their cultivation power. Otherwise, even treasures and secret techniques could not be utilized.
Field Xiao Jian found himself in an awkward and vexing situation at this moment due to his lack of cultivation power as the foundation.
It was all because he had been careless for a moment.
Rage filled Field Xiao Jian's heart.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful the Fairy of Drifting Clouds before him might be, it would not have been possible for her to force him into such a dire situation in just one exchange.
But now that things had come to this point, what use was there in complaining?
In the cultivation world, survival of the fittest prevailed. There was no room for regrets.
Field Xiao Jian's predicament was extremely perilous, but he did not intend to give up.
He had faced countless trials and tribulations; how could he fall here?
Even if the Heaven-Defying King and Golden Jade Corpse King wanted his life in the Underworld, it was still nothing compared to a mere demon from beyond the heavens.
Field Xiao Jian's eyes turned bloodshot.
However, time was running out for him.
As the Demon Sword sliced towards him, even if he managed to break free, there would be no time to dodge.
Was this really his end? Was there nothing he could do?
The thought flashed through his mind as a sudden blurring appeared before his eyes.
Suddenly, Lin Xuan stood in front of him.
"Big Brother!"
"Poor brother, I'll help you."
Lin Xuan's demeanor showed his loyalty and sense of duty, despite the two of them playing a game at this critical moment.
Of course, he did not genuinely want Field Xiao Jian to perish; there was no attachment or reluctance. He understood that if Field Xiao Jian were to lose his soul and essence, his own situation would be just as dire.
As they say, when lips are gone, teeth feel the cold. Qin Yan's true strength, whether she was a demon from beyond the heavens or not, was formidable.

In short, the only way out was to defeat this woman.
With that thought, how could Lin Xuan bear to see Field Xiao Jian perish? An extra ally would always be beneficial.
The Demon Sword's power was formidable, but Lin Xuan's Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was no ordinary treasure either.
A fierce gale arose as the two clashed violently, sending both of them flying backward.
"Boom!"
A muffled thunderous sound echoed in his ears as Lin Xuan crashed into the mountain interior.
Only his body strength, comparable to that of a peer-level monster, saved him from certain death. Otherwise, he would have suffered severe injuries or even perished.
Qin Yan's situation was much better; she only flew several feet before stopping.

And that was not all.
