“ wēi xié yú nǐ ， dào yǒu yán zhòng le ， lǎo fū zhī dào nǐ bù hǎo rě ， dàn wǒ líng zú ， yě bú shì kě yǐ rèn rén ná niē de ， wǒ shì shuō ， huà gān gē wéi yù bó ， duì nǐ duì wǒ ， dōu yǒu hǎo chù ， yí dàn dòng shǒu ， kě jiù kāi gōng nán yǒu huí tóu jiàn le 。”
“威胁于你，道友言重了，老夫知道你不好惹，但我灵族，也不是可以任人拿捏的，我是说，化干戈为玉帛，对你对我，都有好处，一旦动手，可就开弓难有回头箭了。”
"Threatening you, friend, that's too much. I know you're not easily provoked, but my spirit clan is not one to be trifled with either. What I mean is, turning swords into plowshares would benefit both of us. Once we start fighting, it will be hard to stop."
nà tóng yán hè fà de lǎo zhě ， huǎn huǎn de shuō 。
那童颜鹤发的老者，缓缓的说。
The old man with a youthful face and white hair spoke slowly.
“ dào yǒu cǐ yán ， shēn dé wǒ yì ， lín mǒu yě bù xiǎng yǔ guì zú wèi dí ， zhǐ yào zhè wèi dào yǒu suí wǒ huí qù ， yī qiè zì rán dōu shì hǎo shāng liáng dì 。”
“道友此言，深得我意，林某也不想与贵族为敌，只要这位道友随我回去，一切自然都是好商量地。”
"Friend, your words resonate with me. Lin Xuan doesn't wish to make enemies with the noble family either. Just follow me back, and everything can be negotiated."
“ bù kě néng ， wǒ líng zú shèng nǚ ， jué bù kě néng zài zuò bié rén de nú pú ， biàn shì ā xiū luó wáng fù shēng ， yě méi yǒu shāng liáng de yú dì 。” líng zú lǎo zǔ méi tou yí zhòu ， fú rán bù yuè de kāi kǒu 。
“不可能，我灵族圣女，绝不可能再做别人的奴仆，便是阿修罗王复生，也没有商量的余地。”灵族老祖眉头一皱，怫然不悦的开口。
"That's impossible," the spirit clan patriarch frowned, his displeasure evident as he spoke. "The Holy Lady of my spirit clan will never again serve another. Even if Asura King were reborn, there would still be no room for negotiation."
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， méi yǒu jì xù xiāng quàn xià qù 。
林轩叹了口气，没有继续相劝下去。
Lin Xuan sighed and stopped trying to persuade him further. With matters at this point, more talk was futile. The cultivation world was filled with bloodshed; words alone could not win.
shì yǐ zhì cǐ ， duō shuō yǐ shì wú yì ， xiū xiān jiè duō xīng fēng xuè yǔ ， shuǎ zuǐ pí zi méi yǒu yòng tú ， guī gēn jié dǐ ， hái shì yào shǒu dǐ xià cái néng jiàn zhēn zhāng de 。
事已至此，多说已是无益，修仙界多腥风血雨，耍嘴皮子没有用途，归根结底，还是要手底下才能见真章的。
...
……
……
Neither side said much more. The atmosphere seemed to freeze in the air.
shuāng fāng dōu bù zài duō shuō ， kōng qì zhōng de qì fēn ， fǎng fú yī xià zi níng gù 。
双方都不再多说，空气中的气氛，仿佛一下子凝固。
Suddenly, those low-rank spirit clan members vanished from sight. They were only at the level of Cave Profound Separation, and their help would be minimal in such a battle.
suí hòu zhǐ jiàn xū kōng yī zhèn mó hú ， nà xiē dī jiē líng zú jìng quán bù xiāo shī bú jiàn le ， tā men bù guò dòng xuán lí hé ér yǐ ， zài zhè zhǒng jí bié de zhàn dòu zhōng shì bāng bù shàng máng dì 。
随后只见虚空一阵模糊，那些低阶灵族竟全部消失不见了，他们不过洞玄离合而已，在这种级别的战斗中是帮不上忙地。
Lin Xuan watched but remained indifferent, making no extra moves. His nature didn't enjoy harming innocents, so facing this opponent one-on-one suited his intentions.
lín xuān kàn zài yǎn lǐ ， què shì ruò wú dǔ ， bìng wú duō yú de dòng zuò ， yǐ tā de xìng gé ， yuán běn jiù bù xǐ huān shāng jí wú gū ， xiàn zài zhèng hǎo ， yǐ yī duì yī ， yě suàn shì chēng le zì jǐ de xīn yì 。
林轩看在眼里，却视若无睹，并无多余的动作，以他的性格，原本就不喜欢伤及无辜，现在正好，以一对一，也算是称了自己的心意。
Lin Xuan sighed as he raised his right hand, flicking his sleeve. A crimson thread-like sword emerged from his sleeve and transformed into several sword lights a foot long, slicing at the enemy with the force of thunderbolts.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， xiù páo qīng qīng yī shuǎi ， jiù jiàn yī dào huǒ hóng sè de pǐ liàn ， yóu tā de yī xiù zhōng yú yóu chū lái 。
林轩叹了口气，右手抬起，袖袍轻轻一甩，就见一道火红色的匹练，由他的衣袖中鱼游出来。
This wasn't the Nine Palaces Instantaneous Technique; it was another ancient treasure. Lin Xuan's move wasn't to hide his strength but to test the other party's true capabilities.
qīng qīng yī huǎng ， jiù huà zuò le shù dào chǐ xǔ zhǎng de jiàn guāng ， rú bēn léi shǎn diàn ， hěn hěn de zhǎn dào le dí rén de shēn qián 。
轻轻一晃，就化作了数道尺许长的剑光，如奔雷闪电，狠狠的斩到了敌人的身前。
After all, while the spirit clan had a great reputation, each individual's situation varied greatly. A thorough probe was necessary.
zhè bìng fēi jiǔ gōng xū yú 。 ér shì lìng wài yī jiàn gǔ bǎo ， lín xuān zhè me zuò 。 yì fēi wèi le cáng zhuō ， ér shì shì tàn yī xià duì fāng de xū shí jiū jìng rú hé 。
这并非九宫须臾。而是另外一件古宝，林轩这么做。亦非为了藏拙，而是试探一下对方的虚实究竟如何。
The old man with a youthful face and white hair raised both eyebrows as he touched his head. Several red lines rose from behind his head.
bì jìng líng zú suī rán hǎo dà de míng qì ， dàn měi gè rén de qíng kuàng ， nà yòu shì gè bù xiāng tóng dì ， bù néng yī gài ér lùn ， suǒ yǐ shāo zuò shì tàn ， jiù xiǎn de bì yào wú bǐ 。
毕竟灵族虽然好大的名气，但每个人的情况，那又是各不相同地，不能一概而论，所以稍作试探，就显得必要无比。
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes to see several treasures shaped like flying needles wrapped in the red light. Each was an inch long, shimmering brilliantly. They soon clashed with his sword lights.
nà tóng yán hè fà de lǎo zhě jiàn le ， shuāng méi yī shù 。 shēn shǒu zài hòu nǎo sháo yī mō ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， jǐ dào hóng xiàn yóu hòu nǎo shēng qǐ 。
那童颜鹤发的老者见了，双眉一竖。伸手在后脑勺一摸，随着他的动作，几道红线由后脑升起。
The two different red lights chased each other, but neither gained the upper hand!
lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi mī ， zhǐ jiàn hóng guāng zhōng bāo guǒ de ， shì jǐ méi xíng rú fēi zhēn de bǎo wù ， zhǎng yǒu chǐ xǔ ， jīng guāng càn rán 。 hěn kuài yǔ zì jǐ de jiàn guāng dòu dào le yì qǐ 。
林轩眼睛微眯，只见红光中包裹的，是几枚形如飞针的宝物，长有尺许，晶光灿然。很快与自己的剑光斗到了一起。
Lin Xuan's expression darkened. Although he hadn't fully probed the other party's true strength, one thing was certain: their magical power was no less than his and might even surpass it.
liǎng zhǒng bù tóng de hóng guāng hù xiāng zhuī zhú ， chán dòu de jié guǒ ， què shì bù fēn shèng fù ！
两种不同的红光互相追逐，缠斗的结果，却是不分胜负！
This was truly incredible.
lín xuān de liǎn sè yǒu xiē nán kàn le 。
林轩的脸色有些难看了。
...
zhè yī xià ， suī rán méi yǒu wán quán shì tàn chū duì fāng de xū shí ， dàn yǒu yì diǎn ， què shì kě yǐ kěn dìng dì 。 duì fāng fǎ lì zhī shēn ， sī háo bù xùn sè yú zì jǐ ， shèn zhì yóu yǒu shèng guò 。
这一下，虽然没有完全试探出对方的虚实，但有一点，却是可以肯定地。对方法力之深，丝毫不逊色于自己，甚至尤有胜过。
His situation was clear to him. Lin Xuan had unique circumstances that allowed his magical power to be denser than most of his peers. He also cultivated a second Yuan婴 and a demon nucleus, making his magical power far superior to others at the same stage.
zhè jiǎn zhí yǒu xiē bù kě sī yì le 。
这简直有些不可思议了。
To put it bluntly, in terms of magical power alone, he was already no worse than an ordinary late-stage cultivator and might even surpass them.
zì jǐ de qíng kuàng zì jǐ zuì qīng chǔ ， lín xuān yīn wèi jì yù tè shū ， fǎ lì yuán běn jiù níng hòu yú tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě 。 hòu lái yòu xiū liàn le dì èr yuán yīng yǔ yāo dān ， fǎ lì shēn hòu níng shí gèng shì yuǎn yuǎn jiāng tóng jiē cún zài pāo zài hòu miàn le 。
自己的情况自己最清楚，林轩因为际遇特殊，法力原本就凝厚于同阶修仙者。后来又修炼了第二元婴与妖丹，法力深厚凝实更是远远将同阶存在抛在后面了。
Yet this old man was only mid-stage, yet his magical power was greater. This was truly incredible.
shuō jù bú kè qì de yán yǔ 。 tā rú jīn de shí lì shén tōng qiě bù tí ， guāng lùn fǎ lì ， yǐ bù xùn sè yú yì bān dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， shèn zhì yóu yǒu shèng guò 。
说句不客气的言语。他如今的实力神通且不提，光论法力，已不逊色于一般渡劫后期的修仙者，甚至尤有胜过。
The ancient spirit clan indeed proved formidable.
ér zhè lǎo zhě míng míng yě zhǐ shì dù jié zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， fǎ lì què jū rán bǐ zì jǐ hái shēn hòu dé duō ， zhè bú shì bù kě sī yì shì shén me 。
而这老者明明也只是渡劫中期的修仙者，法力却居然比自己还深厚得多，这不是不可思议是什么。
Lin Xuan sighed but showed no contempt anymore. Without the advantage in magical power, he had to seek other means for victory.
shàng gǔ líng zú ， guǒ rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
上古灵族，果然非同小可。
As thoughts raced through his mind, a sound of breaking air reached his ears. Lin Xuan looked up and saw that the spirit clan patriarch was using another technique.
lín xuān tàn xī zhī yú ， yǐ méi yǒu rèn hé de xiǎo kàn zhī yì 。
林轩叹息之余，已没有任何的小看之意。
He waved his large sleeves, and several points of starlight appeared, twinkling like stars, incredibly beautiful.
fǎ lì shàng méi yǒu yōu shì ， nà jiù zhǐ yǒu xún mì bié de shǒu duàn ， yǐ móu zhì shèng zhī dào le 。
法力上没有优势，那就只有寻觅别的手段，以谋制胜之道了。
But Lin Xuan could see clearly; these so-called stars were actually small round beads about an inch in diameter.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， ěr biān què yǒu pò kōng zhī shēng chuán chū ， lín xuān tái qǐ tóu lú ， què shì nà líng zú lǎo zǔ shī zhǎn chū le bié de zhāo shù 。
脑海中念头转过，耳边却有破空之声传出，林轩抬起头颅，却是那灵族老祖施展出了别的招数。
The surface of each bead had countless sharp spikes, making them extremely sharp. They resembled miniature cacti.
zhǐ jiàn tā dà xiù yī wǔ ， xū kōng zhōng yǒu diǎn diǎn xīng guāng fú xiàn ér chū ， rú xīng chén yì bān shǎn shuò ， měi lì dào wú yǐ fù jiā de chéng dù 。
只见他大袖一舞，虚空中有点点星光浮现而出，如星辰一般闪烁，美丽到无以复加的程度。
What was this treasure?
rán ér lín xuān què kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， nà suǒ wèi de xīng guāng shì yī lì lì mǔ zhǐ dà xiǎo de yuán zhū 。
然而林轩却看得清清楚楚，那所谓的星光是一粒粒拇指大小的圆珠。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he heard the other party's light cry. The tiny round beads, like arrows from a powerful bow, streaked towards him with long trails of flame.
yuán zhū biǎo miàn ， yǒu wú shù de jiān cì ， kàn shàng qù fēng ruì yǐ jí ， xíng zhuàng yǔ suō xiǎo liǎo wú shù bèi de xiān rén zhǎng yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì 。
圆珠表面，有无数的尖刺，看上去锋锐以极，形状与缩小了无数倍的仙人掌有几分相似。
From afar, they looked like falling meteors, incredibly beautiful. But Lin Xuan didn't dare be careless. He turned quickly and emitted a small mountain-like mass of greenish霞light in front of him.
zhè shì shén me bǎo wù ？
这是什么宝物？
The next moment, a loud rumble filled his ears as the round beads hit with the force of meteorites. Despite their vastly different sizes, the power of these beads was immense; the greenish霞light transformed into a small mountain dissolved and vanished.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， jiù tīng jiàn duì fāng yī shēng qīng hē ， suí hòu ， rú bèi qiáng gōng yìng nǔ fā shè ， nà xiē mǔ zhǐ dà xiǎo de yuán zhū dài zhe cháng cháng de wěi yàn ， pī tóu gài liǎn de cháo zhe zì jǐ de jī shè le guò lái 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，脑海中念头尚未转过，就听见对方一声轻喝，随后，如被强弓硬弩发射，那些拇指大小的圆珠带着长长的尾焰，劈头盖脸的朝着自己的激射了过来。
Lin Xuan frowned but remained calm, retreating quickly to one side.
yuǎn yuǎn wàng qù ， jiù rú tóng yóu tiān jì zhuì luò de liú xīng yì bān ， měi lì dào le jí diǎn ， dàn lín xuān què sī háo bù gǎn dài màn ， shēn xíng dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， yī gǔ qīng xiá cóng tā de shēn tǐ lǐ piāo sàn chū lái 。
远远望去，就如同由天际坠落的流星一般，美丽到了极点，但林轩却丝毫不敢怠慢，身形滴溜溜一转，一股青霞从他的身体里飘散出来。
Given the massive destructive power of this treasure, he decided to temporarily avoid it.
lüè yī zhuǎn zhé ， jū rán huà wèi yī xiǎo shān bān de páng rán dà wù ， dǎng zài tā de shēn qián 。
略一转折，居然化为一小山般的庞然大物，挡在他的身前。
Lin Xuan retreated swiftly, but those peculiar round beads were more agile than expected. They turned and chased after him with incredible speed, reaching his vicinity in an instant.
xià yī kè ， hōng lōng lóng de jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì nà xiē yuán zhū rú liú xīng zhuì luò ， hěn hěn de zá shàng qù le 。
下一刻，轰隆隆的巨响传入耳朵，却是那些圆珠如流星坠落，狠狠的砸上去了。
...
èr zhě tǐ jī xuán shū ， kě nà yuán zhū wēi lì què dà dé lí pǔ ， nà qīng xiá suǒ huà de xiǎo shān yī zhèn mó hú ， jū rán bīng xiāo wǎ jiě diào le 。
二者体积悬殊，可那圆珠威力却大得离谱，那青霞所化的小山一阵模糊，居然冰消瓦解掉了。
Lin Xuan's expression changed as he prepared to deploy defensive treasures. But they scattered instantly.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， què bìng bù huāng luàn ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yǐ tuì dào le yī biān 。
林轩眉头一皱，却并不慌乱，身形一闪，已退到了一边。
"What...?"
duì fāng bǎo wù de wēi lì ， jì rán dà dé lí pǔ ， nà jiù zàn bì qí fēng hǎo le 。
对方宝物的威力，既然大得离谱，那就暂避其锋好了。
Lin Xuan was speechless. Such a change was unexpected even by his rich combat experience. He soon realized the round beads surrounded him from all sides, each transforming into maces with runes and emitting different types of spiritual light.
lín xuān tuì dé xùn sù ， kě nà gǔ guài de yuán zhū ， què bǐ xiǎng xiàng de líng huó ， yí gè zhuǎn zhé ， jū rán zhuī shàng lái le 。
林轩退得迅速，可那古怪的圆珠，却比想象的灵活，一个转折，居然追上来了。
Gold, wood, water, fire, earth—these maces encompassed all five elements.
sù dù kuài dé lí pǔ ， yī zhǎ yǎn jiù chōng dào le jìn chù 。
速度快得离谱，一眨眼就冲到了近处。
Ancient treasures, in such large numbers, similar to his Nine Palaces Instantaneous Sword but not a complete set. Lin Xuan was surprised as these maces emitted intense light, smashing down on him.
lín xuān biǎo qíng yī biàn ， zhèng dǎ suàn jì chū fáng yù de bǎo wù ， tā què yī xià zi yī hòng ér sàn diào le 。
林轩表情一变，正打算祭出防御的宝物，它却一下子一哄而散掉了。
"Duot!"
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
Lin Xuan pointed forward with one finger and heard the clear ringing sound of the Nine Palaces Instantaneous Sword being summoned. Sword energy and the maces' aggressive energy clashed fiercely.
lín xuān chēng mù jié shé ， yǐ tā dòu fǎ jīng yàn zhī fēng fù ， rú cǐ biàn gù ， yě shì shǐ liào wèi jí ， suí hòu biàn fā xiàn yuán zhū fēn bù yú shēn cè ， yǐ cóng sì miàn bā fāng jiāng zì jǐ tuán tuán bāo wéi le 。
林轩瞠目结舌，以他斗法经验之丰富，如此变故，也是始料未及，随后便发现圆珠分布于身侧，已从四面八方将自己团团包围了。
Their techniques wouldn't stop there.
lüè yī mó hú ， tǐ jī biàn dà le bǎi bèi 。
略一模糊，体积变大了百倍。
Revenge is sweet; Lin Xuan shook his shoulder, causing a blur in the air as a monster with a dragon head and lion body appeared. It opened its blood-red mouth to shoot out a light wave at the other party.
měi yī kē yuán zhū ， huà wèi le yī bǐng láng yá bàng xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù ， biǎo miàn fú wén pēn bó ， sàn fà chū lái de líng guāng què shì gè bù xiāng tóng de 。
每一颗圆珠，化为了一柄狼牙棒形状的宝物，表面符文喷薄，散发出来的灵光却是各不相同的。
The surface of the light wave was wrapped in blue lightning, indicating immense power.
jīn mù shuǐ huǒ tǔ ， zhè xiē láng yá bàng yǐ jiāng wǔ xíng shǔ xìng jǐn jiē náng kuò 。
金木水火土，这些狼牙棒已将五行属性尽皆囊括。
The spirit clan patriarch hummed, flicking his sleeve to release a bright blade of light that blocked the light wave and continued towards the monster.
gǔ bǎo ， ér qiě shù liàng rú cǐ zhī duō ， yǔ zì jǐ de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yǒu yì qǔ tóng gōng zhī chù ， dàn sì hū yòu bù xiàng shì yī zhěng tào de bǎo wù 。
古宝，而且数量如此之多，与自己的九宫须臾剑有异曲同工之处，但似乎又不像是一整套的宝物。
Lin Xuan smirked as he secretly cast a spell. The monster's form blurred, vanishing into thin air. Thus, the blade of light fell on empty space. But soon, a loud rumble echoed, and an enormous claw several feet long appeared above the spirit clan patriarch's head, its fingers flashing with sharp glints, grabbing at him fiercely.
lín xuān àn àn chà yì ， zhè xiē láng yá bàng què jīng máng dà qǐ ， hěn hěn de cháo zhe lín xuān zá le xià qù 。
林轩暗暗诧异，这些狼牙棒却精芒大起，狠狠的朝着林轩砸了下去。
Ps: A little more in推荐票 would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your support, friends!
