qū zhǐ qīng dàn ， yī lǚ qīng máng chū xiàn ， qīng cuì de zhuàng jī shēng chuán rù ěr biān ， nà xī lì de jiàn guāng jìng rú zāo léi jī ， bèi qīng ér yì jǔ de dàn fēi le chū qù 。
屈指轻弹，一缕青芒出现，清脆的撞击声传入耳边，那犀利的剑光竟如遭雷击，被轻而易举的弹飞了出去。
Fingering lightly, a thread of green light appeared. The sharp swordlight was struck with such force that it seemed to have been hit by lightning and was easily deflected.
“ bù kě néng ！”
“不可能！”
"Impossible!"
rú cǐ jié guǒ ， ràng nà guāng tóu dà hàn dà jīng shī sè 。
如此结果，让那光头大汉大惊失色。
The bald man's expression turned pale at this outcome. Although the sword wasn't his primary treasure, its power was considerable. Moreover, he hadn't held back during the ambush; his intention had been to defeat Lin Xuan in one fell swoop. How did he end up with such a result?
cǐ jiàn suī bú shì zì jǐ de běn mìng bǎo wù ， dàn wēi lì yě shì bù sú 。
此剑虽不是自己的本命宝物，但威力也是不俗。
This young fellow before him proved far more troublesome than expected.
ér qiě gāng cái nà yī xià tōu xí ， tā àn zhōng bìng méi yǒu liú lì ， dǎ dī zhǔ yì shì bì qí gōng yú yī yì ， zěn me huì luò de zhè yàng yí gè jié jú ？
而且刚才那一下偷袭，他暗中并没有留力，打的主意是毕其功于一役，怎么会落得这样一个结局？
His face darkened as an ominous feeling arose within him. However, there was no going back once things reached this point. Whether in the cultivation world or the secular realm, there were no regrets to be had.
yǎn qián zhè xiǎo jiā huo ， yuǎn bǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào nán chán yī xiē 。
眼前这小家伙，远比想象的还要难缠一些。
With thoughts racing, a cruel expression flashed across his face. He flicked his sleeves and summoned another treasure.
tā de biǎo qíng yǒu xiē yīn yù ， xīn zhōng gèng yǒu bù hǎo de yù gǎn fú xiàn ér qǐ 。
他的表情有些阴郁，心中更有不好的预感浮现而起。
Crackling sounds filled his ears as brilliant flames and electric arcs danced into view. Lin Xuan's pupils constricted; this was a sharp-tipped treasure.
dàn bù lùn xiū xiān jiè hái shì shì sú ， dōu bú huì yǒu hòu huǐ yào yī shuō 。
但不论修仙界还是世俗，都不会有后悔药一说。
The aura it emitted was formidable indeed.
shì qíng jì rán dào le zhè yī bù ， jiù suàn zhēn yǒu shén me bù hǎo de hòu guǒ ， yě wéi yǒu yìng zhe tóu pí wǎng xià zǒu le 。
事情既然到了这一步，就算真有什么不好的后果，也唯有硬着头皮往下走了。
"Quickly!"
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， tā de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī níng sè 。
脑海中念头转过，他的脸上闪过一丝狞色。
The bald man raised his right hand, pointing at the treasure. A wave of space rumbled before him, accompanied by terrifying spiritual pressure descending from the heavens. The lightning-fire cone-shaped treasure vanished in an instant.
xiù páo yī fú ， zài cì jì chū le xīn de bǎo wù 。
袖袍一拂，再次祭出了新的宝物。
Seeing this familiar scene, Lin Xuan's face showed no hesitation as he clenched his fists. Crackling sounds filled his ears once more.
pī lǐ pā lā de bào xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yìng rù yǎn lián de shì yào mù de huǒ yàn yǔ dàn tiào shǎn shuò zhe de diàn hú 。
噼里啪啦的爆响声传入耳朵，映入眼帘的是耀目的火焰与弹跳闪烁着的电弧。
A brilliant light burst forth from his body, like a flame. It coalesced into a thick layer of light.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， zhè jìng rán shì yī jiān zhuī xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，这竟然是一尖锥形状的宝物。
The dazzling silver light flickered with countless runes constantly appearing on its surface.
sàn fà chū lái de qì shì zhe shí bù sú 。
散发出来的气势着实不俗。
What Lin Xuan was now using wasn't just a simple Qi Shield; its defensive power rivaled the very top-grade treasures.
duì fāng yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， chōng zhe cǐ bǎo yī zhǐ diǎn qù 。
对方右手抬起，冲着此宝一指点去。
In the next moment, a loud explosion echoed as the lightning-fire cone-shaped treasure collided forcefully with Lin Xuan's protective barrier. Gale-force winds erupted in all directions as the storm-like waves spread wildly.
qí shēn qián kōng jiān bō dòng yì qǐ ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de shì kě pà de líng yā cóng tiān ér luò ， nà léi huǒ zhuī xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù jìng “ sōu ” de yī xià cóng yuán dì bú jiàn le 。
其身前空间波动一起，与之伴随的是可怕的灵压从天而落，那雷火锥形状的宝物竟“嗖”的一下从原地不见了。
The destructive force was astonishing.
jiàn dào zhè shú xī de yí mù ， lín xuān liǎn shàng sī háo yóu yù yě wú ， shuāng shǒu yī wò ， pī lǐ pā lā de bào xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
见到这熟悉的一幕，林轩脸上丝毫犹豫也无，双手一握，噼里啪啦的爆响声传入耳朵。
However, Lin Xuan's expression remained calm. The attack, though fierce, could not break through his barrier at all. A mere mid-transcendence cultivator was nothing to him now. Even if he wasn't weaker than others of his level, he certainly couldn't be considered a powerhouse; just an ordinary fellow.
yī tuán yào mù de líng máng ， rú qì yàn yì bān 。 cóng tā shēn tǐ biǎo miàn pēn yǒng ér chū 。
一团耀目的灵芒，如气焰一般。从他身体表面喷涌而出。
Seeing the attack ineffective, the bald man's face turned hideously pale. His eyes flickered with hesitation but quickly hardened. He punched his chest fiercely.
suí hòu huà wèi yī céng níng hòu yì cháng de guāng mù 。
随后化为一层凝厚异常的光幕。
"Bang!"
cuǐ càn de yín guāng tūn tǔ ， wú shù de fú wén zài qí biǎo miàn bù tíng de fú xiàn ér chū 。
璀璨的银光吞吐，无数的符文在其表面不停的浮现而出。
It sounded like drumming as blood gushed from his mouth and was instantly absorbed by the lightning-fire cone. A chirping sound entered Lin Xuan’s ears as the cone transformed into a giant horned bee. However, its size was beyond comprehension; it was over ten feet long with wings that buzzed so loudly they made one's heart race. It pummeled the silver barrier savagely.
cǐ shí lín xuān shī zhǎn chū lái de kě bú shì líng lì hù dùn zhè yàng jiǎn dān de mì shù 。 qí fáng hù lì yǔ zuì dǐng jí de líng bǎo xiāng bǐ ， yě bú huì xùn sè fēn háo de 。
此时林轩施展出来的可不是灵力护盾这样简单的秘术。其防护力与最顶级的灵宝相比，也不会逊色分毫的。
But to no avail; the barrier seemed impossibly hard. Despite the cone's formidable power, even in its transformed form as a horned bee, it could not harm Lin Xuan.
hōng ！
轰！
A mocking smile curled at the corners of his lips.
xià yī kè ， jù xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
下一刻，巨响声传入耳朵。
The bald man was furious, and beside him, an elderly woman with white hair had a similarly grim expression. They both knew that Lin Xuan’s strength far exceeded their expectations; they had truly encountered a formidable enemy.
nà léi huǒ zhuī xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù ， yǔ lín xuān de hù zhào hěn hěn xiāng zhuàng le 。
那雷火锥形状的宝物，与林轩的护罩狠狠相撞了。
But there was no room for retreat now.
gāng fēng sì shè ！
罡风四射！
They could only fight to the death.
fēng bào bān de yú bō xiàng zhe sì zhōu fēng kuáng de kuò sàn zhe 。
风暴般的余波向着四周疯狂的扩散着。
With thoughts racing, the old woman threw her龙头杖 out without hesitation. A brilliant light burst from her body, and she appeared anything but elderly. She waved her hands rapidly as incantations flew from her fingers. The treasure trembled before transforming into a pitch-black snake thicker than a water bucket, lunging at the barrier.
qí wēi lì lìng rén zé shé 。
其威力令人咋舌。
Opening its blood-stained maw, it bit ferociously. But to no avail; the barrier remained unbreakable.
rán ér lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng què shì píng jìng wú bō 。
然而林轩脸上的表情却是平静无波。
The old woman and the bald man exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other's eyes. They had no choice but to fight on.
nà gōng jī kàn shì měng è ， rán ér què gēn běn wú fǎ jiāng tā de hù zhào tū pò 。
那攻击看似猛恶，然而却根本无法将他的护罩突破。
"Go all out!"
qū qū yī dù jié zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， zài rú jīn de lín xuān kàn lái ， yǐ suàn bù liǎo shén me 。
区区一渡劫中期的修仙者，在如今的林轩看来，已算不了什么。
Both reached for their waists, bright lights flashing as they summoned new treasures. Unfortunately, it was too late.
hé kuàng cǐ kè de shí lì zài tóng jiē cún zài zhōng ， suī rán bù néng shuō piān ruò 。 dàn yě jué duì suàn bù shàng qiáng zhě ， pǔ pǔ tōng tōng bà le 。
何况此刻的实力在同阶存在中，虽然不能说偏弱。但也绝对算不上强者，普普通通罢了。
Lin Xuan wasn't a fool; he wouldn't stand there and take hits.
yǎn jiàn gōng jī méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， guāng tóu dà hàn de liǎn sè nán kàn dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù ， tā de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī chóu chú ， dàn hěn kuài jiù bèi jiān rèn gěi dài tì le 。
眼见攻击没有效果，光头大汉的脸色难看到无以复加的地步，他的眼中闪过一丝踌躇，但很快就被坚韧给代替了。
Seeing them so reckless, Lin Xuan's lips curled into a cold smile. Without further ado, he raised his right hand, crackling sounds filling the air. Electric arcs swirled around his arm.
shēn chū shǒu lái ， yī quán hěn hěn chuí xiàng xiōng kǒu 。
伸出手来，一拳狠狠捶像胸口。
Black light flickered as brilliant spiritual light burst forth.
“ pēng ！”
“嘭！”
Of course, it was Lin Xuan’s painstakingly cultivated Yin Phantom Lightning.
rú tóng léi gǔ ， tóng shí tā kǒu zhōng xiān xuè pēn yǒng ér chū 。 huà wèi xuè wù ， què xùn sù bèi nà léi huǒ zhuī xī shōu diào le 。
如同擂鼓，同时他口中鲜血喷涌而出。化为血雾，却迅速被那雷火锥吸收掉了。
Though not yet fully matured, its power was already formidable.
yī zhèn chóng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà léi huǒ zhuī biǎo miàn líng guāng shǎn shuò ， jìng rán biàn huà chéng yī tóu jù dà de niú jiǎo fēng lái le 。
一阵虫鸣声传入耳朵，那雷火锥表面灵光闪烁，竟然变化成一头巨大的牛角蜂来了。
Lin Xuan spread his fingers and a black lightning dragon shot out from his arm. Pouncing on the horned bee and the snake, it fiercely attacked them.
rán ér yǔ pǔ tōng de niú jiǎo fēng xiāng bǐ ， tā dà dé què yǒu xiē bù kě sī yì ， shēn cháng zú zú chāo guò le zhàng xǔ 。 chì bǎng zhèn chàn de wēng míng shēng lìng rén xīn qíng fán zào yǐ jí ， xiàng zhe nà yín sè de hù zhào hěn hěn pū jī 。
然而与普通的牛角蜂相比，它大得却有些不可思议，身长足足超过了丈许。翅膀震颤的嗡鸣声令人心情烦躁以极，向着那银色的护罩狠狠扑击。
The bald man and the old woman's faces fell as they had to engage in battle despite their surprise. They hastily cast several incantations.
rán ér méi yǒu yòng tú ， nà hù zhào jìng shì jiān yìng dào le bù kě sī yì de chéng dù ， léi huǒ zhuī wēi lì bù sú ， kě jí biàn biàn huà chéng niú jiǎo fēng yǐ hòu 。 yī jiù ná tā shì wú kě nài hé 。
然而没有用途，那护罩竟似坚硬到了不可思议的程度，雷火锥威力不俗，可即便变化成牛角蜂以后。依旧拿它是无可奈何。
The horned bee and the giant snake abandoned the barrier and lunged at the lightning dragon.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè 。
林轩嘴角边流露出一丝讥嘲之色。
As soon as they touched, an unbelievable scene unfolded. Lin Xuan clutched his hands, and the lightning dragon disintegrated into nothingness. In its place were streaks of dark electric arcs that flickered across a space about ten feet in diameter, enveloping both the snake and the bee.
guāng tóu dà hàn yǒu xiē bào tiào rú léi le ， ér tā páng biān de bái fà lǎo yù 。 jiàn dào zhè yí mù ， liǎn sè tóng yàng shì nán kàn wú bǐ 。
光头大汉有些暴跳如雷了，而他旁边的白发老妪。见到这一幕，脸色同样是难看无比。
"Uh-oh, we've been tricked."
shǎ guā yě zhī dào lín xuān de shí lì yuǎn chāo yù jì ， zhè yī cì ， tā men shì zhēn zhēn zhèng zhèng pèng shàng le qiáng dí 。
傻瓜也知道林轩的实力远超预计，这一次，他们是真真正正碰上了强敌。
The bald man and the old woman's expressions turned to shock as they realized their own treasures had lost their connection with them. The horned bee and giant snake's eyes became dull, and their sizes rapidly diminished.
dàn yǐ méi yǒu tuì suō de yú dì 。
但已没有退缩的余地。
In just a few breaths, they reverted to the lightning-fire cone and the龙头杖.
rú jīn wéi yǒu yìng zhe tóu pí sǐ zhàn ér yǐ 。
如今唯有硬着头皮死战而已。
However, the brilliance of their treasures dimmed significantly. With a wave of his hand, Lin Xuan released an overwhelming suction force that took both treasures into his palm.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， bái fà lǎo yù háo bù yóu yù de jiāng shǒu zhōng de lóng tóu guǎi zhàng pāo chū 。
脑海中念头转过，白发老妪毫不犹豫的将手中的龙头拐杖抛出。
"You..."
tā hún shēn shàng xià ， yì yǒu yào mù de líng guāng pēn bó ， kàn shàng qù ， nǎ lǐ hái yǒu yī fēn bàn diǎn de lǎo tài lóng zhōng 。
她浑身上下，亦有耀目的灵光喷薄，看上去，哪里还有一分半点的老态龙钟。
They were truly desperate now; losing their primary treasures meant certain doom. In a panic, the bald man shouted as he punched Lin Xuan with all his might.
shuāng shǒu jí wǔ ， yī dào dào fǎ jué ， yóu zhǐ zhǎng jiān dǎ chū ， cǐ bǎo yī zhèn qīng chàn zhī hòu ， jìng rán biàn chéng le yī tiáo qī hēi rú mò de mǎng shé 。
双手急舞，一道道法诀，由指掌间打出，此宝一阵轻颤之后，竟然变成了一条漆黑如墨的蟒蛇。
The sound of breaking air filled the air as his fierce fist collided with Lin Xuan's body. He was no lightweight; this man was actually an expert in physical cultivation techniques.
Fingering lightly, a thread of green light appeared. The sharp swordlight was struck with such force that it seemed to have been hit by lightning and was easily deflected.
"Impossible!"
The bald man's expression turned pale at this outcome. Although the sword wasn't his primary treasure, its power was considerable. Moreover, he hadn't held back during the ambush; his intention had been to defeat Lin Xuan in one fell swoop. How did he end up with such a result?
