yuè ér zhè biān yù jiàn le bō zhé ， lín xuān cǐ kè de qíng xíng yòu rú hé ne ？
月儿这边遇见了波折，林轩此刻的情形又如何呢？
Moon'er encountered some setbacks, how was Lin Xuan's situation at this moment?
wàng zhuó yǎn qián de mó wù ， tā de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī yīn mái zhī sè ， dàn bìng wú wèi jù ， guī gēn jié dǐ ， zhǐ shì yī shén mì de yāo mó ér yǐ 。[]
望着眼前的魔物，他的脸上闪过一丝阴霾之色，但并无畏惧，归根结底，只是一神秘的妖魔而已。[]
Looking at the demon before him, a trace of gloom appeared on his face, but he showed no fear. After all, it was just a mysterious demon.
zì jǐ rú jīn yǐ shì dù jié hòu qī ， zì xìn xīn yě yuǎn fēi yǐ wǎng kě bǐ 。
自己如今已是渡劫后期，自信心也远非以往可比。
He had already advanced to late-stage Tribulation Transcendence, and his confidence far exceeded what it used to be.
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū 。
林轩右手抬起，一指向前点出。
Lin Xuan raised his right hand slightly, pointing forward with one finger.
tā de dòng zuò qīng róu yǐ jí ， dàn qián fāng de xū kōng què suí zhī tā xiàn le xià qù 。
他的动作轻柔以极，但前方的虚空却随之塌陷了下去。
His movement was extremely gentle, yet the space in front collapsed instantly.
kōng jiān fǎ zé ！
空间法则！
Spatial Law!
nà yāo mó de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī zhēng níng zhī sè 。
那妖魔的脸上闪过一丝狰狞之色。
A vicious expression appeared on the demon's face. It opened its mouth wide, its form becoming hazy before vanishing from sight.
zuǐ bā yī liě ， shēn xíng yī zhèn mí hū ， jū rán cóng yuán dì xiāo shī diào le 。
嘴巴一咧，身形一阵迷糊，居然从原地消失掉了。
In the next moment, a flash of demonic light appeared beside Lin Xuan.
xià yī kè ， mó guāng yī shǎn ， chū xiàn zài le lín xuān de shēn biān 。
下一刻，魔光一闪，出现在了林轩的身边。
The distance between them was only several dozen feet.
xiāng jù bù guò shù zhàng zhī yuǎn 。
相距不过数丈之远。
Then he lowered his head slightly and performed a squatting motion. His shoulder moved, creating a loud breaking sound as countless blood-red bone spines shot towards him.
suí hòu tā wēi wēi dī xià tou lú ， zuò le yí gè xiàng xià dūn fú de dòng zuò ， jiān tóu wēi wēi yī dǒu ， fù jìn dùn shí pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， wú shù xuè hóng sè de gǔ cì xiàng lín xuān jī shè guò lái le 。
随后他微微低下头颅，做了一个向下蹲伏的动作，肩头微微一抖，附近顿时破空声大做，无数血红色的骨刺像林轩激射过来了。
At the same time, from its huge maw, a beam of light about the size of an arm emerged, wrapped in dark electric arcs.
tóng shí cóng tā de xuè pén dà kǒu zhōng yì pēn chū yī dào ér bì cū de guāng zhù ， biǎo miàn chán rào zhe qī hēi rú mò de diàn hú 。
同时从他的血盆大口中亦喷出一道儿臂粗的光柱，表面缠绕着漆黑如墨的电弧。
Almost instantly, Lin Xuan was encompassed by this attack.
jī hū shì yí gè zhào miàn ， jiù jiāng lín xuān lǒng zhào zhù 。
几乎是一个照面，就将林轩笼罩住。
Qin Yan wasn't idle either. She flipped her jade hand and the Heavenly Demon Sword appeared in her palm.
qín yán yì méi yǒu xián zhe 。
秦妍亦没有闲着。
She swung it downward, producing countless black-red sword lights that transformed into snakes about a foot long, enveloping Lin Xuan from all sides.
yù shǒu fān zhuǎn ， tiān mó jiàn chū xiàn zài le zhǎng xīn lǐ miàn 。
玉手翻转，天魔剑出现在了掌心里面。
"Master!"
xiàng xià yī wǔ ， wú shù hēi hóng sè de jiàn guāng fú xiàn ér chū 。
向下一舞，无数黑红色的剑光浮现而出。
The situation changed suddenly, and within an instant, Lin Xuan found himself surrounded by danger.
suí hòu jū rán huàn huà chéng yī tiáo tiáo chǐ xǔ zhǎng de xiǎo shé ， cóng sì miàn bā fāng jiāng lín xuān bāo guǒ 。
随后居然幻化成一条条尺许长的小蛇，从四面八方将林轩包裹。
Moon'er was alarmed. She wanted to help but suddenly saw over ten giant serpents with bodies a hundred feet long emerging beside her, viciously lunging at her.
“ shào yé ！”
“少爷！”
Despite her efforts, she couldn't escape them in such a short time.
biàn qǐ cāng cù ， jī hū shì shùn xī de gōng fu lín xuān jiù wēi jī sì fú 。
变起仓促，几乎是瞬息的功夫林轩就危机四伏。
In other words, Lin Xuan could only fight alone.
yuè ér dà jīng shī sè ， yǒu xīn xiāng zhù ， kě shēn biān tū rán fú xiàn chū shí yú tiáo shēn cháng bǎi zhàng de jù dà mǎng shé 。
月儿大惊失色，有心相助，可身边突然浮现出十余条身长百丈的巨大蟒蛇。
Qin Yan's face showed a trace of satisfaction.
è hěn hěn de xiàng tā pū yǎo 。
恶狠狠的像她扑咬。
Late-stage Tribulation Transcendence cultivators? How can this brat be so overconfident?
yuè ér shǐ jǐn hún shēn xiè shù ， què yě wú fǎ zài jí duǎn de shí jiān nèi jiāng qí bǎi tuō 。
月儿使尽浑身解数，却也无法在极短的时间内将其摆脱。
Her earlier concerns seemed unnecessary. Without the help of Wannv Wang, she could subdue him with her own strength.
huàn jù huà shuō ， lín xuān jiù zhǐ néng gū jūn fèn zhàn le 。
换句话说，林轩就只能孤军奋战了。
However, before she could fully process these thoughts, a clear cry sounded from ahead.
qín yán liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī dé yì zhī sè 。
秦妍脸上露出一丝得意之色。
Suddenly, the primordial energy of heaven and earth became chaotic, and the space collapsed one after another without any warning.
dù jié hòu qī xiū shì yòu rú hé ？
渡劫后期修士又如何？
It was impossible!
zhè lín xiǎo zi tài qīng dí le 。
这林小子太轻敌了。
She didn't know why this collapse occurred.
kàn lái xiān qián de dān xīn shì duō yú 。
看来先前的担心是多余。
Qin Yan's smile froze on her face. Before she could react, a loud noise echoed in her ears. A lightning bolt pierced through the sky and struck Lin Xuan with force.
bù yòng wàn jiāo wáng chū shǒu ， dān píng zì jǐ de lì liàng yì néng jiāng tā zhì fú 。
不用万蛟王出手，单凭自己的力量亦能将他制伏。
The snakes surrounding him were hit by this sharp electric light; there were thousands of them. They disintegrated into fragments of sword lights before vanishing.
rán ér zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， yī qīng xiào de shēng yīn yóu qián fāng chuán chū 。
然而这个念头尚未转过，一清啸的声音由前方传出。
Lin Xuan's figure appeared, unscathed from any injuries.
suí hòu tiān dì yuán qì ， yī xià zi biàn dé hùn luàn yǐ jí ， xū kōng gèng shì yī piàn jiē yī piàn de tā xiàn le xià qù 。
随后天地元气，一下子变得混乱以极，虚空更是一片接一片的塌陷了下去。
More astonishingly, he didn't use any defensive treasures. He relied solely on a layer of protective spirit light to support himself.
sī háo zhēng zhào yě wú ！
丝毫征兆也无！
Of course, this spirit light was unique; it was thick and solid with countless true spirits' shadows flickering faintly on its surface.
shèn zhì bù zhī dào zhè tā xiàn jiū jìng shì yǒu hé yuán gù ？
甚至不知道这塌陷究竟是有何缘故？
Phoenixes, true dragons, peacocks, great phoenixes—there were many kinds, numbering nearly a hundred.
qín yán de xiào róng dùn shí jiāng zài liǎn shàng le 。
秦妍的笑容顿时僵在脸上了。
"What is this?"
hái lái bù jí zuò hé fǎn yìng ， jiù tīng wén jù xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。 yī dào shǎn diàn jiāng cāng qióng cì pò ， hěn hěn de xiàng lín xuān pī guò qù le 。
还来不及作何反应，就听闻巨响声传入耳朵。一道闪电将苍穹刺破，狠狠的像林轩劈过去了。
Qin Yan had broad experience. Her past memories fully restored, she stared wide-eyed at the astonishing scene before her.
shǒu dāng qí chōng biàn shì nà xiē bāo wéi zhe tā de xiǎo shé 。
首当其冲便是那些包围着他的小蛇。
Without any treasures, he could block her attacks just by relying on his protective spirit light.
shù liàng zú yǒu chéng qiān shàng wàn tiáo zhī duō 。
数量足有成千上万条之多。
This was too absurd!
zài zhè xī lì de diàn guāng xià huī fēi yān miè diào le 。
在这犀利的电光下灰飞烟灭掉了。
If not for seeing it with her own eyes, no one would believe such a bizarre sight.
huán yuán wèi jiàn guāng ， cùn cùn suì liè huà wèi xū wú 。
还原为剑光，寸寸碎裂化为虚无。
Lin Xuan had just advanced; how could he be this powerful? Did he not use his true techniques earlier?
lín xuān de shēn yǐng xiǎn xiàn ér chū 。
林轩的身影显现而出。
These thoughts flashed through her mind as Qin Yan's face showed signs of fear. Regardless of the reason, she underestimated Lin Xuan.
hún shēn shàng xià jìng yī sī shāng hén yě wú 。
浑身上下竟一丝伤痕也无。
His strength far exceeded expectations. Even with an array to aid him, she would have no chance.
gèng bù kě sī yì de shì tā méi yǒu jì chū rèn hé fáng yù de bǎo wù 。
更不可思议的是他没有祭出任何防御的宝物。
With this thought in mind, she no longer hesitated and rolled her body with white demonic energy, trying to retreat.
jǐn jǐn shì kào yī céng hù tǐ líng guāng zài zhī chēng zhe 。
仅仅是靠一层护体灵光在支撑着。
However, it wasn't that easy.
dāng rán ， nà líng guāng yě yǒu yǔ zhòng bù tóng zhī chù ， bù jǐn hòu shí jiān gù ， biǎo miàn gèng yǒu wú shù zhēn líng de xū yǐng ruò yǐn ruò xiàn de fú xiàn ér chū 。
当然，那灵光也有与众不同之处，不仅厚实坚固，表面更有无数真灵的虚影若隐若现的浮现而出。
Lin Xuan raised his right hand again, pointing forward as he uttered a sharp command: "Break!"
fèng huáng ， zhēn lóng ， kǒng què ， dà péng ， bù yī ér zú ……
凤凰，真龙，孔雀，大鹏，不一而足……
Before the words left his mouth, an unbelievable scene unfolded. Qin Yan couldn't move!
shù liàng gèng shì lí pǔ 。 cū lüè yī shù ， zú yǒu jìn bǎi zhī shù 。
数量更是离谱。粗略一数，足有近百之数。
The air around her turned into shackles, binding her tightly.
“ zhè shì shén me ？”
“这是什么？”
"This is impossible!"
qín yán yì suàn jiàn shí guǎng bó ， bì jìng qián shì de jì yì yǐ jīng wán quán huī fù ， cǐ shí kàn jiàn zhè lìng rén jīng yà de yí mù ， yě bù yóu dèng dà le yǎn zhū 。
秦妍亦算见识广博，毕竟前世的记忆已经完全恢复，此时看见这令人惊讶的一幕，也不由瞪大了眼珠。
Qin Yan's expression was one of both shock and anger. She knew her own abilities well; how could someone with spatial laws hold her so easily?
bù yòng bǎo wù ， jǐn jǐn yī kào hù tǐ líng guāng jiù néng jiāng zì jǐ de gōng shì dǎng zhù 。
不用宝物，仅仅依靠护体灵光就能将自己的攻势挡住。
"Master Lin said he would be willing to shake hands for peace. Fairy, you insist on going your own way. Do you feel regret now?" Lin Xuan said coldly.
zhè tài huāng miù le ！
这太荒谬了！
"Regret? You think you have a sure victory, hmpf, dreaming."
ruò fēi qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， bù lùn shuí shuō yǔ tā tīng ， dōu bú huì xiāng xìn zhè me huāng dàn de yí mù 。
若非亲眼目睹，不论谁说与她听，都不会相信这么荒诞的一幕。
A trace of anger flashed across Qin Yan's face before she quickly regained her composure. She took deep breaths and exhaled dark demonic energy, creating cracks in the surrounding space.
lín xuān bú shì gāng gāng jìn jí me ， zěn me kě néng qiáng dà dào zhè bān dì bù 。 nán dào shuō gāng cái ， tā yì zhí dōu bù céng yòng guò zhēn gōng fu ？
林轩不是刚刚晋级么，怎么可能强大到这般地步。难道说刚才，他一直都不曾用过真功夫？
This fairy wasn't weak either; she tried to break free using brute force.
zhè ge niàn tou rú diàn guāng huǒ shí bān zài nǎo hǎi zhōng zhuǎn guò ， qín yán de liǎn shàng zhōng yú lù chū le yī sī huáng kǒng ， bù guǎn yuán yīn rú hé 。 zì jǐ què shí xiǎo kàn lín xuān le 。
这个念头如电光火石般在脑海中转过，秦妍的脸上终于露出了一丝惶恐，不管原因如何。自己确实小看林轩了。
However, how could Lin Xuan allow this?
tā de shí lì yuǎn chāo yù jì ， dān dǎ dú dòu ， zì jǐ fēn háo jī huì yě wú 。
他的实力远超预计，单打独斗，自己分毫机会也无。
"Ah!"
jí biàn yǒu zhèn fǎ fǔ zhù ， yě tóng yàng tǎo bù liǎo hǎo de 。
即便有阵法辅助，也同样讨不了好的。
A sigh sounded as Lin Xuan sent out a divine thought. With his action, fierce light surged, and the Nine Palaces Needles transformed into fine crystal threads.
yī niàn zhì cǐ 。 cǐ nǚ bù zài chí yí ， shēn tǐ biǎo miàn fān gǔn qǐ rǔ bái sè de mó qì ， xiǎng yào cháo hòu tuì qù 。
一念至此。此女不再迟疑，身体表面翻滚起乳白色的魔气，想要朝后退去。
The air broke with loud sounds as these threads interwove in mid-air, quickly forming a giant net that descended towards Qin Yan!
rán ér nǎ ér yǒu nà me róng yì 。
然而哪儿有那么容易。
She had no place to hide!
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ 。 yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū 。
林轩右手抬起。一指向前点出。
After all, she couldn't break free of the spatial laws within such a short time.
zhěng gè dòng zuò bù dài fēn háo rén jiān yān huǒ ， wéi tīng jiàn yī shēng qīng chì ：“ pò ！”
整个动作不带分毫人间烟火，唯听见一声轻叱：“破！”
The situation reversed. Moon'er's face showed signs of joy, while the black-robed elder who controlled the array turned pale and several giant serpents lunged at Lin Xuan viciously.
huà yīn wèi luò ， bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le 。
话音未落，不可思议的一幕发生了。
Unfortunately, it was too late. The mere changes in the array couldn't help much; these demons were merely a distraction for Lin Xuan.
qín yán jū rán dòng tán bù dé ！
秦妍居然动弹不得！
Qin Yan had nowhere to go, and Lin Xuan wanted to capture her alive.
zhōu wéi de kōng qì ， yī xià zi biàn chéng le jiā suǒ ， jiāng tā jǐn jǐn shù fù 。
周围的空气，一下子变成了枷锁，将她紧紧束缚。
Only then could he exchange the cultivators of Baxuan Pavilion.
“ zhè bù kě néng ！”
“这不可能！”
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
qín yán de biǎo qíng yòu jīng yòu nù 。
秦妍的表情又惊又怒。
As that net was about to ensnare Qin Yan, a trace of demonic energy appeared silently. At first, it wasn't noticeable, but soon, an astonishing spiritual pressure emanated from its surface.
zì jǐ de shén tōng zì jǐ zuì qīng chǔ ， jiù suàn duì fāng zhǎng wò yǒu kòng jiān fǎ zé ， yòu zěn me kě néng zhè me qīng yì jiāng zì jǐ zhì zhù ？
自己的神通自己最清楚，就算对方掌握有空间法则，又怎么可能这么轻易将自己制住？
This pressure was so formidable that even Lin Xuan's face turned pale.
“ lín mǒu zǎo shuō guò ， yuàn yì wò shǒu yán hé ， xiān zi yī yì gū xíng ， rú jīn kě gǎn jué dào hòu huǐ le me ？” lín xuān lěng lěng de shuō 。
“林某早说过，愿意握手言和，仙子一意孤行，如今可感觉到后悔了么？”林轩冷冷的说。
The demonic energy became denser, and faintly, a black dragon emerged from within.
“ hòu huǐ ， nǐ yǐ wéi zì jǐ jīng shèng quàn zài wò ， hēng ， bié zuò mèng le 。”
“后悔，你以为自己经胜券在握，哼，别做梦了。”
Roar!
qín yán de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī huì nù ， dàn hěn kuài jiù lěng jìng xià lái le 。
秦妍的脸上闪过一丝恚怒，但很快就冷静下来了。
The dragon raised its head, yet no sound came from its throat.
shēn shēn hū xī ， hún shēn shàng xià mào chū shēn suì de mó qì ， yī dào dào liè wén chū xiàn zài le tā fù jìn de xū kōng lǐ 。
深深呼吸，浑身上下冒出深邃的魔气，一道道裂纹出现在了她附近的虚空里。
Lin Xuan's face paled as his gaze sharpened: "A formidable enemy; we can't give him any breathing space or hesitate."
cǐ nǚ shén tōng dào yě bù sú ， xiǎng yào yòng mán lì jiāng shù fù zhèng tuō 。
此女神通倒也不俗，想要用蛮力将束缚挣脱。
Lin Xuan sent out a divine thought.
rán ér xiǎng fǎ gù rán bù cuò ， kě lín xuān zěn me huì zuò shì tā chéng gōng ne ？
然而想法固然不错，可林轩怎么会坐视她成功呢？
Suddenly, the net vanished, replaced by countless crystal threads...
“ āi ！”
“唉！”
These threads then transformed back into sword lights, raining down towards the demonic energy in the shape of a dragon.
Moon'er encountered some setbacks, how was Lin Xuan's situation at this moment?
Looking at the demon before him, a trace of gloom appeared on his face, but he showed no fear. After all, it was just a mysterious demon.
He had already advanced to late-stage Tribulation Transcendence, and his confidence far exceeded what it used to be.
