dài tǔ xī jiǎn ruò ， lín xuān de shēn yǐng fú xiàn ér chū ， hún shēn shàng xià ， bèi wǔ sè liú lí de guāng yàn bāo guǒ ， jìng shì yī sī shāng hén yě wú 。
待吐息减弱，林轩的身影浮现而出，浑身上下，被五色琉璃的光焰包裹，竟是一丝伤痕也无。
After the exhalation weakened, Lin Xuan's figure emerged, enveloped in a five-colored glass flame. Not even a single scar marred his body.
bù kě néng ！
不可能！
Impossible!
mó jiāo wáng de liǎn shàng liú lù chū bù néng zhì xìn zhī sè 。
魔蛟王的脸上流露出不能置信之色。
Majestic Demon Serpent King’s face showed disbelief.
zì jǐ de shí lì zì jǐ zuì qīng chǔ ， zěn me kě néng yǒu rén shì zì jǐ de tǔ xī wèi wú wù ， yí dìng shì yǎn huā le 。
自己的实力自己最清楚，怎么可能有人视自己的吐息为无物，一定是眼花了。
His own strength was well known to him; how could anyone disregard his exhalation? He must have been mistaken.
tā de liǎn shàng lù chū xiē sī dǐ lǐ de shén sè ， zhāng kāi kǒu ， yòu pēn chū yī dào hēi sè de guāng bō 。
他的脸上露出歇斯底里的神色，张开口，又喷出一道黑色的光波。
A wild look appeared on his face as he opened his mouth and spat out another black light wave.
zhè yī cì ， lín xuān méi yǒu duǒ ， dàn yě méi yǒu lǎo lǎo shí shí de zhàn zài yuán dì ， ér shì yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī quán dǎ le chū qù 。
这一次，林轩没有躲，但也没有老老实实的站在原地，而是右手抬起，一拳打了出去。
This time, Lin Xuan did not dodge but did not stand still either. He raised his right hand and punched forward.
bú jiàn líng guāng shǎn shuò ， yě méi yǒu jù xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhè yī quán kàn shàng qù píng píng wú qí ， shèn zhì yǒu xiē qīng piāo piāo dì 。
不见灵光闪烁，也没有巨响声传入耳朵，这一拳看上去平平无奇，甚至有些轻飘飘地。
There was no flicker of spiritual light or loud noise; this punch seemed ordinary, even somewhat ethereal.
rán ér què qīng yì jiāng xū kōng dòng pò ， nà hēi sè de guāng bō jìng cùn cùn suì liè diào le 。
然而却轻易将虚空洞破，那黑色的光波竟寸寸碎裂掉了。
However, it easily broke through the void, shattering that black light wave inch by inch.
suí hòu lín xuān de quán tou yǔ mó jiāo wáng de miàn jiá lái le gè qīn mì jiē chù ， nà jù tòng de gǎn jué nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ shuō dé qīng chǔ 。
随后林轩的拳头与魔蛟王的面颊来了个亲密接触，那剧痛的感觉难以用言语说得清楚。
Next, Lin Xuan’s fist met the Demon Serpent King's cheek with a close-range impact. The intense pain was hard to describe in words.
duì fāng zài yí cì xiàng yuǎn fāng fēi qù le 。
对方再一次像远方飞去了。
The opponent flew off like a distant bird.
zhè yī cì yòu bù zhī dào zhuàng tā le duō shǎo zuò shān fēng 。
这一次又不知道撞塌了多少座山峰。
This time, countless mountain peaks were flattened.
ér lín xuān dāng rán bú huì jiù cǐ bà shǒu 。
而林轩当然不会就此罢手。
Lin Xuan would not stop here either. He clenched his hands and emitted numerous bright light rays from his body surface, accompanied by the sound of air being torn apart.
shuāng shǒu yī wò ， bàn suí zhe “ chī chī ” de pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， wú shù liàng lì de guāng xiàn yóu tā shēn tǐ biǎo miàn tán shè ér chū 。
双手一握，伴随着“嗤嗤”的破空声大做，无数亮丽的光线由他身体表面弹射而出。
These crystalline rays were so brilliant and their momentum was incredibly fierce, containing endless sword intent within them.
nà jīng máng shì rú cǐ de liàng lì ， lái shì gèng shì wú bǐ de jìn jí ， qí zhōng gèng shì yùn hán yǒu wú jìn de jiàn yì 。
那晶芒是如此的亮丽，来势更是无比的劲急，其中更是蕴含有无尽的剑意。
Nine Palaces Instantly!
jiǔ gōng xū yú ！
九宫须臾！
Wearing the True Spirit Armor after putting on it, Lin Xuan had already achieved a state where man and sword became one.
chuān shàng zhēn líng kǎi jiǎ zhī hòu ， lín xuān yǐ néng zuò dào rén jiàn hé yī 。
穿上真灵铠甲之后，林轩已能做到人剑合一。
Though no divine sword was summoned, the released sword energy was no less powerful than before.
suī bú jiàn xiān jiàn jì qǐ ， kě shì fàng chū lái de jiàn qì ， wēi lì zé shì yǒu guò zhī ér wú bù jí 。
虽不见仙剑祭起，可释放出来的剑气，威力则是有过之而无不及。
The sharp sword energy swept across the Demon Serpent King like a demon. Naturally, he did not sit idly by. His figure blurred as he transformed back into his serpent-headed human form.
xī lì yì cháng de xiàng zháo mó jiāo wáng héng sǎo ér qù ， duì fāng zì rán bú huì zuò yǐ dài bì ， shēn xíng yī zhèn mó hú ， jū rán yòu huán yuán chéng le jiāo shǒu rén shēn de guài wù 。
犀利异常的像着魔蛟王横扫而去，对方自然不会坐以待毙，身形一阵模糊，居然又还原成了蛟首人身的怪物。
Enveloped in thick demonic aura, he even manifested three heads and six arms.
hún shēn bèi nóng yù de mó qì bāo guǒ ， suí hòu jū rán huàn huà chū sān tóu liù bì lái le 。
浑身被浓郁的魔气包裹，随后居然幻化出三头六臂来了。
He rubbed his palms together, and various shapes of treasures—swords, spears, halberds, and more—appeared in his palm.
zhǐ jiàn tā liǎng zhǐ shǒu zhǎng le yī cuō ， zhǎng xīn zhōng biàn fú xiàn chū le dāo qiāng jiàn jǐ děng gè zhǒng xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù 。
只见他两只手掌了一搓，掌心中便浮现出了刀枪剑戟等各种形状的宝物。
Without hesitation, he fiercely struck those bright crystalline rays.
suí hòu sī háo chí yí yě wú ， duì zhe nà liàng lì de jīng máng hěn hěn zá luò 。
随后丝毫迟疑也无，对着那亮丽的晶芒狠狠砸落。
Sizzle…
cī lā ……
刺啦……
The piercing sound filled the air as countless crescent-shaped light blades appeared.
pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò 。 wú shù yuè yá xíng zhuàng de guāng rèn chū xiàn le 。
破空声传入耳朵，随着他的动作。无数月牙形状的光刃出现了。
Though their sizes varied, their number was astonishing, almost covering half the sky.
dà xiǎo bù yī ， dàn shù liàng què shì jí wéi lí pǔ ， jī hū zhē dǎng zhù le bàn biān tiān mù 。
大小不一，但数量却是极为离谱，几乎遮挡住了半边天幕。
Then came a buzzing sound. These light blades, like a storm of arrows or meteors, fiercely slashed towards him.
suí hòu wēng míng shēng dà zuò ， zhè xiē guāng rèn rú jí fēng zhòu yǔ ， shì liú xīng zhuì dì ， xiōng hěn yì cháng de cháo zhe duì fāng pī cì le guò qù 。
随后嗡鸣声大做，这些光刃如疾风骤雨，似流星坠地，凶狠异常的朝着对方劈刺了过去。
Clang!
dīng dīng dāng dāng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， guāng rèn yǔ jiàn qì zài xū kōng zhōng zòng héng jiāo cuò ， nà chǎng jǐng ， nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ miáo shù ， fàng yǎn wàng qù 。 xiǎo xíng de kōng jiān fēng bào bù shí fú xiàn ér qǐ ， suǒ guò zhī chù ， mǎn mù chuāng yí 。
叮叮当当的声音传入耳朵，光刃与剑气在虚空中纵横交错，那场景，难以用言语描述，放眼望去。小型的空间风暴不时浮现而起，所过之处，满目疮痍。
The sword energy and Lin Xuan’s sword intent crossed in mid-air, creating a scene that defied description. Small spatial storms occasionally appeared, leaving desolation wherever they passed.
jiù suàn shì dù jié qī ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě jué bù gǎn chān huo dào liǎng rén jiān de dòu fǎ lǐ 。
就算是渡劫期，此时此刻，也绝不敢掺和到两人间的斗法里。
Even the Golden Tribulation realm would not dare to intervene in this fight between them.
yuè ér yǔ qín yán de yǎn zhōng ， dōu liú lù chū yī sī hài rán zhī yì 。
月儿与秦妍的眼中，都流露出一丝骇然之意。
Moon and Qin Yan both showed shock in their eyes.
mó jiāo wáng yǐ shì gū zhù yí zhì ， ér lín xuān yòu hé cháng bú shì rú cǐ ， biàn huàn chū zhēn líng zhī kǎi ， zhǎn xiàn chū zuì qiáng xíng tài 。 gù rán néng ràng shí lì zài duǎn shí jiān nèi bào zhǎng xǔ duō ， dàn yīn cǐ ér dài lái de fù dān yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
魔蛟王已是孤注一掷，而林轩又何尝不是如此，变幻出真灵之铠，展现出最强形态。固然能让实力在短时间内暴涨许多，但因此而带来的负担也非同小可。
Majestic Demon Serpent King had already bet everything on this gamble, and Lin Xuan was no less so. By manifesting his True Spirit Armor and showing his strongest form, he could temporarily boost his strength significantly but at a great cost.
ruò fēi lín xuān de ròu shēn qiáng dù yuǎn shèng tóng jiē yāo zú ， shén niàn zhī lì gèng dào le kān bǐ zhēn xiān de dì bù ， wú lùn rú hé 。 yě bù gǎn yòng zhè yī zhāo de 。
若非林轩的肉身强度远胜同阶妖族，神念之力更到了堪比真仙的地步，无论如何。也不敢用这一招的。
If not for the fact that Lin Xuan’s physical body far surpassed that of his peers in terms of strength, and his divine consciousness had reached a level comparable to a true immortal, he would never have dared to use this technique.
shuō shā dí yī qiān ， zì sǔn bā bǎi yě méi yǒu cuò ， tuō jiǔ le hòu guǒ gèng shì nán yǐ yù jì de 。
说杀敌一千，自损八百也没有错，拖久了后果更是难以预计的。
Indeed, killing one thousand while injuring oneself by eight hundred was no exaggeration. The consequences of prolonged use were unpredictable.
suǒ yǐ lín xuān yī fēn yě bù gǎn dān gē 。
所以林轩一分也不敢耽搁。
Thus, Lin Xuan did not hesitate. Seeing that his sword intent was blocked, he immediately punched forward again, with the illusory heavenly fire attached to it. The sounds of phoenix and dragon cries filled his ears.
jiàn zì jǐ de jiàn qì bèi dǎng zhù ， lì kè yòu yī quán xiàng qián dǎ chū 。 quán tou shàng hái fù yǒu huàn líng tiān huǒ ， fèng míng lóng yín de shēng yīn bù tíng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
见自己的剑气被挡住，立刻又一拳向前打出。拳头上还附有幻灵天火，凤鸣龙吟的声音不停传入耳朵。
Majestic Demon Serpent King’s pupils constricted, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.
mó jiāo wáng tóng kǒng wēi suō ， zuǐ jiǎo biān jìng lù chū yī sī cǎn xiào zhī sè 。
魔蛟王瞳孔微缩，嘴角边竟露出一丝惨笑之色。
Initially thinking to turn danger into safety, now he realized that victory could only be achieved by completely sacrificing this incarnation.
yuán běn hái xiǎng zhe huà xiǎn wéi yí 。 rú jīn kàn lái xiǎng yào qǔ dé shèng lì zhǐ yǒu chè chè dǐ dǐ de jiāng zhè jù huà shēn shě qì 。
原本还想着化险为夷。如今看来想要取得胜利只有彻彻底底的将这具化身舍弃。
Forget it; one incarnation was worth the effort, but now there was no choice.
bà le ， yī jù huà shēn ér yǐ ， suī rán yě huā fèi xīn xuè wú shù ， dàn xiàn zài yǐ bié wú xuǎn zé 。
罢了，一具化身而已，虽然也花费心血无数，但现在已别无选择。
He recited an obscure incantation, surrounded by layers of demonic mist. His aura surged again.
tā de zuǐ zhōng yǒu huì sè de zhòu yǔ tūn tǔ ， shēn qián yíng rào zhe yī céng yòu yī céng de mó wù ， suí hòu tā de qì xī zài cì bào zhǎng qǐ lái le 。
他的嘴中有晦涩的咒语吞吐，身前萦绕着一层又一层的魔雾，随后他的气息再次暴涨起来了。
Lin Xuan’s face showed surprise.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng yě liú lù chū jīng yà zhī sè 。
林轩的脸上也流露出惊讶之色。
This guy really had guts.
zhè jiā huo ， dǎn ér hái zhēn gòu dà de 。
这家伙，胆儿还真够大的。
It was well known that many secret techniques in the cultivation world could boost strength temporarily, but there was no such thing as a free lunch. The aftereffects of these techniques were severe, so their use required extreme caution.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， xiū xiān jiè yǒu bù shǎo mì shù ， néng ràng shí lì zài duǎn shí jiān nèi bào zhǎng xǔ duō ， dàn shì shàng běn méi yǒu miǎn fèi wǔ cān yī shuō ， zhè xiē mì shù suǒ dài lái de hòu huàn ， yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， suǒ yǐ shǐ yòng de shí hòu ， dōu xū yào xiǎo xīn jǐn shèn dào jí chù 。
众所周知，修仙界有不少秘术，能让实力在短时间内暴涨许多，但世上本没有免费午餐一说，这些秘术所带来的后患，也是非同小可，所以使用的时候，都需要小心谨慎到极处。
Otherwise, one might suffer severe damage or even fall into demonic possession.
fǒu zé qīng zé yuán qì dà shāng ， zhòng zé zǒu huǒ rù mó 。
否则轻则元气大伤，重则走火入魔。
Majestic Demon Serpent King understood this, yet he disregarded danger and repeatedly used other secret techniques after boosting his strength.
zhè dào lǐ ， mó jiāo wáng bù kě néng bù xiǎo de ， kě tā què zhì wēi xiǎn yú bù gù ， zài yǐ jīng shǐ yòng le zēng jiā shí lì de mì shù hòu ， yòu jiē èr lián sān de shǐ yòng qǐ qí tā de mì shù le 。
这道理，魔蛟王不可能不晓得，可他却置危险于不顾，在已经使用了增加实力的秘术后，又接二连三的使用起其他的秘术了。
It was sheer recklessness.
jiǎn zhí shì bù zhī sǐ huó 。
简直是不知死活。
Wasn’t he afraid that the backlash of these spells would disintegrate him?
zhè jiā huo jiù bù pà fǎ shù fǎn shì zhí jiē ràng zì jǐ hún fēi pò sàn me ？
这家伙就不怕法术反噬直接让自己魂飞魄散么？
Lin Xuan was speechless. He had never encountered such a formidable opponent before.
lín xuān dōu yǒu xiē wú yǔ le 。
林轩都有些无语了。
The entire process, though complex, did not take long. Majestic Demon Serpent King’s demonic aura doubled in an instant, making him incredibly powerful.
dì yī cì yù jiàn zhè yàng biāo hàn de jiā huo 。
第一次遇见这样彪悍的家伙。
Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted. This formidable magical power rivaled that of True Immortal Nai Long.
ér zhěng gè guò chéng shuō lái fán fù ， qí shí bìng méi yǒu huā fèi duō jiǔ de gōng fu ， mó jiāo wáng hún shēn de mó qì ， zài qǐng kè jiān jìng rán yòu zēng jiā le bèi xǔ ， biàn dé qiáng dà yǐ jí 。
而整个过程说来繁复，其实并没有花费多久的功夫，魔蛟王浑身的魔气，在顷刻间竟然又增加了倍许，变得强大以极。
However, the quantity was impressive but its purity was far inferior; they were on completely different levels.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， zhè yàng biāo hàn de fǎ lì ， bǐ zhī nài lóng zhēn rén yě bù xùn sè 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，这样彪悍的法力，比之鼐龙真人也不逊色。
After all, his current overwhelming magical energy came from risky secret techniques, placing a heavy burden on both body and spirit, making it impossible to be pure.
bù guò nà jǐn jǐn shì cóng fǎ lì de liàng lái shuō ， lùn jīng chún chéng dù ， zé shì yuǎn yuǎn bù jí ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， gēn běn jiù bú shì yí gè céng miàn dì 。
不过那仅仅是从法力的量来说，论精纯程度，则是远远不及，甚至可以说，根本就不是一个层面地。
But regardless, such concentrated magical power was still formidable.
bì jìng tā cǐ shí fǎ lì rú cǐ páng bó ， dōu shì yòng mì shù mào xiǎn dé lái de ， duì yú shēn tǐ yǔ jīng shén de fù dān fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zhì liàng dāng rán yě jiù sū fá kě chén le 。
毕竟他此时法力如此磅礴，都是用秘术冒险得来的，对于身体与精神的负担非同小可，质量当然也就苏乏可陈了。
Facing Lin Xuan’s punch, he also displayed a human-like expression of seriousness.
dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， fǎ lì níng hòu dào zhè ge chéng dù ， hái shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
但不管如何，法力凝厚到这个程度，还是非同小可。
He raised his right hand, the claws flashing with cold light.
miàn duì lín xuān de yī quán dǎ chū ， tā de liǎn shàng ， yì hěn nǐ rén huà de lù chū níng zhòng zhī sè 。
面对林轩的一拳打出，他的脸上，亦很拟人化的露出凝重之色。
He danced in front before swinging downward.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， lì zhuǎ hán máng shǎn shuò 。
右手抬起，利爪寒芒闪烁。
Silent and invisible!
zài xiōng qián yī wǔ ， cháo zhe xià fāng huī luò 。
在胸前一舞，朝着下方挥落。
It seemed like just a gentle breeze.
wú shēng wú xī ！
无声无息！
But suddenly, their space fragmented. All laws of nature were torn apart at this moment.
fǎng fú gāng cái de dòng zuò bù guò shì qīng fēng fú miàn ér yǐ 。
仿佛刚才的动作不过是清风拂面而已。
Majestic Demon Serpent King spat out blood from his mouth. Lin Xuan’s condition was similar, but both ignored the injuries. Their figures blurred as they roared like tigers and dragons, sword and blade energy scattering everywhere.
dàn xià yī kè ， liǎng rén de kōng jiān ， měng rán huà wèi le suì piàn ， shén me tiān dì fǎ zé ， zài zhè yī kè dōu bèi sī chě chéng le qī líng bā luò ，
但下一刻，两人的空间，猛然化为了碎片，什么天地法则，在这一刻都被撕扯成了七零八落，
No clear winner!
mó jiāo wáng de kǒu zhōng yī kǒu xiān xuè pēn chū ， lín xuān de qíng xíng ， yì xiāng chà fǎng fú ， dàn liǎng rén dōu shì shòu shāng wèi wú wù ， shēn xíng lüè yī mó hú ， hǔ xiào lóng yín zhī shēng bù jué yú ěr duǒ ， liǎng rén dǎ le gè yī tā hú tú ， dāo guāng jiàn qì yī dào dào de mí sàn ér chū 。
魔蛟王的口中一口鲜血喷出，林轩的情形，亦相差仿佛，但两人都视受伤为无物，身形略一模糊，虎啸龙吟之声不绝于耳朵，两人打了个一塌糊涂，刀光剑气一道道的弥散而出。
In a short time, neither could gain an upper hand over the other. A slight look of impatience appeared on Lin Xuan’s face.
bù fēn shèng fù ！
不分胜负！
This fight would likely end in mutual destruction, which was not what he wanted to see.
duǎn shí jiān nèi liǎng rén sì hū dōu ná duì fāng wú kě nài hé ， lín xuān de liǎn shàng fú xiàn chū yī sī bù nài fán de shén sè 。
短时间内两人似乎都拿对方无可奈何，林轩的脸上浮现出一丝不耐烦的神色。
Accursed! He had thought that advancing to Golden Tribulation后期 wouldn’t mean facing threats everywhere. Unexpectedly, he met such a tenacious opponent.
zhè yàng dǎ xià qù duō bàn huì shì yí gè liǎng bài jù shāng de jié guǒ ， ér zhè què shì lín xuān bù xiǎng kàn dào de 。
这样打下去多半会是一个两败俱伤的结果，而这却是林轩不想看到的。
Lin Xuan couldn’t deny feeling downcast. His strongest state could only last for a short while, but now he was in a bind and had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.
kě wù ， yuán běn yǐ wéi jìn jiē dù jié hòu qī ， bù shuō sān jiè zòng héng wú dí ， dàn néng gòu wēi xié dào zì jǐ de cún zài ， yě shì qū zhǐ kě shǔ ， méi xiǎng dào jū rán huì mò míng qí miào de ， yù jiàn zhè me nán chán de jiā huo 。
可恶，原本以为进阶渡劫后期，不说三界纵横无敌，但能够威胁到自己的存在，也是屈指可数，没想到居然会莫名其妙的，遇见这么难缠的家伙。
Continuous rumbling sounds filled the air as both continued their displays of power. Although Lin Xuan did not show any signs of weakness, he struggled to gain an advantage.
lín xuān yào shuō bù yù mèn shì piàn rén de ， bì jìng zì jǐ zhè zuì qiáng zhuàng tài yě bǎo chí bù liǎo duō jiǔ de gōng fu ， dàn cǐ kè shì chéng qí hǔ ， xiǎng tuì suō yě méi yǒu dào lù ， wéi yǒu yǎo yǎo yá jiān chí xià qù le 。
林轩要说不郁闷是骗人的，毕竟自己这最强状态也保持不了多久的功夫，但此刻势成骑虎，想退缩也没有道路，唯有咬咬牙坚持下去了。
Suddenly, he waved his sleeve, and another sword intent appeared, hovering about a dozen feet above the Demon Serpent King’s head.
hōng míng shēng bù tíng de chuán rù ěr duǒ ， liǎng rén jì xù gè zhǎn shén tōng ， lín xuān suī rán bú jiàn tuí shì ， dàn yě nán yǐ zhàn dào shàng fēng 。
轰鸣声不停的传入耳朵，两人继续各展神通，林轩虽然不见颓势，但也难以占到上风。
This already included spatial law, but given his strength earlier, it could be easily avoided.
dàn jiàn tā xiù páo yī shuǎi ， yòu shì yī dào jiàn qì fú xiàn chū lái 。
但见他袖袍一甩，又是一道剑气浮现出来。
However, something unexpected happened. He did not dodge; instead, he was struck by that sword intent with a loud boom. (To be continued…)
After the exhalation weakened, Lin Xuan's figure emerged, enveloped in a five-colored glass flame. Not even a single scar marred his body.
Impossible!
Majestic Demon Serpent King’s face showed disbelief.
His own strength was well known to him; how could anyone disregard his exhalation? He must have been mistaken.
A wild look appeared on his face as he opened his mouth and spat out another black light wave.
This time, Lin Xuan did not dodge but did not stand still either. He raised his right hand and punched forward.
There was no flicker of spiritual light or loud noise; this punch seemed ordinary, even somewhat ethereal.
However, it easily broke through the void, shattering that black light wave inch by inch.
Next, Lin Xuan’s fist met the Demon Serpent King's cheek with a close-range impact. The intense pain was hard to describe in words.
"Whoosh!"
The opponent flew off like a distant bird.
Boom!
This time, countless mountain peaks were flattened.

These crystalline rays were so brilliant and their momentum was incredibly fierce, containing endless sword intent within them.
