wū lòu piān féng lián yè yǔ , yǔ cǐ tóng shí , yún zhōng xiān zi nà biān , yě tóng yàng yù jiàn le wēi jī .
屋漏偏逢连夜雨,与此同时,云中仙子那边,也同样遇见了危机.
Rain continued to pour down as misfortune struck. Meanwhile, in Fairy Cloud's domain, she also encountered danger.
suī yǒu wàn jiāo wáng bāng tā jiāng qiáng dí dǎng zhù , kě yī lù shàng de jìn zhì què shǔ bù shèng shǔ , huàn yī míng shí lì shāo ruò xiē de xiū xiān zhě , bié shuō xún zhǎo dào pán táo shù , kǒng pà zǎo jiù cǎn sǐ zài jìn zhì zhī xià le .
虽有万蛟王帮她将强敌挡住,可一路上的禁制却数不胜数,换一名实力稍弱些的修仙者,别说寻找到蟠桃树,恐怕早就惨死在禁制之下了.
Though the Ten Thousand Serpent King helped her fend off powerful enemies along the way, the number of restrictions and barriers was countless. For a cultivator with lesser strength, let alone finding the peach tree, they would have long perished under these restraints.
rán ér qín yán de shí lì zhe shí bù sú , yī lù pī jīng zhǎn jí , zhōng yú , yòu lái dào le yī jù dà de dì xià róng dòng lǐ .
然而秦妍的实力着实不俗,一路披荆斩棘,终于,又来到了一巨大的地下溶洞里.
However, Qin Yan's abilities were formidable. She cut through obstacles and finally arrived at a vast underground cavern.
zhè lǐ de dì xíng yǒu xiē qí tè , dàn xiàn rú jīn , nǎ ér yǒu shí jiān qù chí yí shén me , qín yán yī bù mài chū , yǎn qián liàng guāng dà zuò , suí hòu tā biàn bèi jīng dāi le .
这里的地形有些奇特,但现如今,哪儿有时间去迟疑什么,秦妍一步迈出,眼前亮光大做,随后她便被惊呆了.
The terrain here was peculiar, but there was no time to hesitate now. Qin Yan stepped forward, and before her eyes lit up in surprise.
" zhè shì ……"
"这是……"
"Is this..."
qín yán dèng dà le yǎn , cǐ shí tā yǐ lái dào nà jù dà de róng dòng lǐ miàn , dà dà xiǎo xiǎo de diāo sù , chéng xiàn zài le yǎn lián .
秦妍瞪大了眼,此时她已来到那巨大的溶洞里面,大大小小的雕塑,呈现在了眼帘.
Qin Yan widened her eyes as she entered the large cavern. Numerous sculptures adorned the space—dragon, tiger, phoenix, and turtle.
qīng lóng , bái hǔ , zhū què , xuán wǔ .
青龙,白虎,朱雀,玄武.
The statues of the Four Sacred Beasts stood out prominently.
sì shèng shòu de diāo xiàng zuì wèi xǐng mù .
四圣兽的雕像最为醒目.
With the Four Spirits gathered, there were also various妖族 creatures.
sì líng qí jù , chú cǐ yǐ wài , hái yǒu gè zhǒng gè yàng de yāo zú .
四灵齐聚,除此以外,还有各种各样的妖族.
Their forms varied widely, too numerous to count. But just by their appearance, it was clear that these beings' strength far exceeded ordinary妖族. Even standing still, they exuded a sense of immense danger.
xíng tài wàn qiān , nán yǐ jìn shù .
形态万千,难以尽数.
The feeling was indescribable—like an illusion, yet the aura was real.
dàn guāng cóng xíng mào , yě kě yǐ qīng yì biàn chū , zhè xiē jiā huo de shí lì , yě jué fēi pǔ tōng yāo zú kě bǐ , jí biàn yī dòng bù dòng de zhàn zài nà lǐ , yī jiù gěi rén yī zhǒng jù dà de wēi jī .
但光从形貌,也可以轻易辨出,这些家伙的实力,也绝非普通妖族可比,即便一动不动的站在那里,依旧给人一种巨大的危机.
They were merely sculptures, but everything seemed too incredible.
nà zhǒng gǎn jué nán yǐ yán yù , fǎng fú zhǐ shì huàn jué , dàn nà qì shì , què yòu shì shí shí zài zài dì .
那种感觉难以言喻,仿佛只是幻觉,但那气势,却又是实实在在地.
Qin Yan's delicate brows furrowed.
tā men míng míng zhǐ shì diāo sù , zhè yī qiè , dōu xiǎn de tài bù kě sī yì le .
它们明明只是雕塑,这一切,都显得太不可思议了.
Legends said that celestial treasures had sacred beasts guarding them. Could these be the guardians of the peach tree?
qín yán de dài méi wēi wēi zhòu qǐ .
秦妍的黛眉微微皱起.
Otherwise, mere clay and wooden sculptures couldn't have caused such pressure.
chuán shuō tiān dì líng wù , dōu shì yǒu shèng shòu shǒu hù de , nán dào yǎn qián zhè xiē jiā huo , jiù shì pán táo shù de shǒu wèi me ?
传说天地灵物,都是有圣兽守护的,难道眼前这些家伙,就是蟠桃树的守卫么?
Thoughts raced through her mind, but there was no time to hesitate now. Qin Yan raised her jade hand and slashed forward...
fǒu zé qū qū yī xiē ní sù mù diāo zhī wù , shì bù kě néng gěi zì jǐ dài lái zhè me dà de yā lì de .
否则区区一些泥塑木雕之物,是不可能给自己带来这么大的压力的.
As she moved, dark magical energy surged out, transforming into several giant monstrous snakes with exposed fangs. Their ferocity seemed to threaten the Four Spirits' statues.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò , dàn xiàn zài yǐ jīng méi yǒu shí jiān chí yí , qín yán yù shǒu tái qǐ . cháo zhe qián fāng xū pī ……
脑海中念头转过,但现在已经没有时间迟疑,秦妍玉手抬起.朝着前方虚劈……
Roar!
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò , gǔn gǔn mó qì fú xiàn ér chū . huàn huà chéng jǐ tiáo jù dà de guài shé , liáo yá wài lù , kàn nà xiōng měng de yàng zi , jiù fǎng fú yào jiāng sì líng de diāo xiàng tūn luò rù dù .
随着她的动作,滚滚魔气浮现而出.幻化成几条巨大的怪蛇,獠牙外露,看那凶猛的样子,就仿佛要将四灵的雕像吞落入肚.
The first to react was the White Tiger. Originally a stone sculpture, it had stood there for ages without moving.
hǒu ！
吼！
But as the monster snake's fangs were just an inch away from it, the White Tiger suddenly moved. Its eyes glowed, and a terrifying aura burst forth.
shǒu dāng qí chōng de biàn shì bái hǔ .
首当其冲的便是白虎.
What should have been formless matter now shattered the void.
yuán běn tā zhǐ shì shí sù mù diāo zhī wù , fǎng fú héng gǔ de suì yuè biàn chù lì zài zhè lǐ . cóng lái bù céng dòng guò .
原本它只是石塑木雕之物,仿佛恒古的岁月便矗立在这里.从来不曾动过.
The first monster snake was caught head-on with no place to hide. It was devoured by that formidable aura and reduced to powder.
kě jiù zài nà guài shé de liáo yá jù lí tā zhǐ shèng xià yī chǐ , bái hǔ tū rán dòng le .
可就在那怪蛇的獠牙距离它只剩下一尺,白虎突然动了.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
yǎn zhōng guāng máng dà zuò , lìng rén xīn jì de qì shì bó rán ér chū .
眼中光芒大做,令人心悸的气势勃然而出.
Several dull sounds echoed in her ears as the other monster snakes met similar fates.
yuán běn shì yǒu zhì wú xíng zhī wù , cǐ kè què jiāng xū kōng hōng tā diào le .
原本是有质无形之物,此刻却将虚空轰塌掉了.
Apart from the White Tiger, Dragon, Phoenix, and Turtle also came back to life.
nà guài shé shǒu dāng qí chōng , duǒ wú kě duǒ , bèi nà kě pà de qì shì juǎn rù qí zhōng , jiǎo wèi fěn mò .
那怪蛇首当其冲,躲无可躲,被那可怕的气势卷入其中,绞为粉末.
The monster snakes were merely Qin Yan's试探招数, easily defeated by them. It was like cutting down withering grass.
pū pū pū ……
噗噗噗……
But this was only the beginning. Roars echoed continuously as various妖兽 creatures behind the Four Spirits awakened.
jǐ shēng mèn xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ .
几声闷响传入耳朵.
Their strength might not match that of the Four Spirits, but their sheer numbers overwhelmed the space, making it unbearable to bear.
qí tā jǐ tiáo guài shé de xià chǎng yì shì xiāng chà fǎng fú .
其他几条怪蛇的下场亦是相差仿佛.
Ants can bite an elephant to death—roughly speaking, that's what was happening here.
chú le bái hǔ , qīng lóng , zhū què . hái yǒu xuán wǔ , yě yī yàng huó guò lái le .
除了白虎,青龙,朱雀.还有玄武,也一样活过来了.
If Lin Xuan were present, he would be equally alarmed. The White Tiger had been killed by Qin Yan and Mo'er together. Although a new one could always emerge from true spirit fire, the process took time. Only a few hundred years had passed since then. For cultivators at this level, it was merely a blink of an eye, so no new generation of White Tigers would appear in such a short time.
nà guài shé jǐn jǐn shì qín yán shì tàn de zhāo shù , zài tā men miàn qián , zì rán shì bù kān yī jī de .
那怪蛇仅仅是秦妍试探的招数,在它们面前,自然是不堪一击的.
This creature clearly existed for a long time here. What could be going on?
shuō cuī kū lā xiǔ yě bù wèi guò .
说摧枯拉朽也不为过.
Qin Yan didn't know, and she had no time to ponder. Clearly, these fearsome creatures were the guardians of the peach tree. They must be defeated if her goal was to succeed.
ér zhè jǐn jǐn bù guò shì kāi shǐ bà le .
而这仅仅不过是开始罢了.
With no room for retreat, Qin Yan's eyes flashed with determination. She fought with all her might.
cǐ qǐ bǐ fú de páo xiāo shēng zhèn lóng fā kuì , sì líng shēn hòu xíng tài wàn qiān de yāo shòu yě fēn fēn sū xǐng guò lái le .
此起彼伏的咆哮声振聋发聩,四灵身后形态万千的妖兽也纷纷苏醒过来了.
The Heaven Demon Sword appeared from her fingertips, emitting sword lights like writhing dragons. Each strike contained different cosmic laws.
tā men de shí lì , huò xǔ wú fǎ yǔ sì líng xiāng bǐ , dàn guān jiàn shì shù liàng gòu duō , pū tiān gài dì de . zú yǐ ràng rén xīn zhōng fā kǔ .
它们的实力,或许无法与四灵相比,但关键是数量够多,铺天盖地的.足以让人心中发苦.
On one side, dark magical energy surged; on the other,妖气 rolled out.
yǐ duō yǎo sǐ xiàng , dà yuē jiù shì yǎn qián zhè ge dào lǐ le .
蚁多咬死象,大约就是眼前这个道理了.
Instantly, the entire underground cavern was covered in explosions and bursts of sound.
ruò shì lín xuān zài zhè lǐ , kěn dìng yě huì dà jīng shī sè .
若是林轩在这里,肯定也会大惊失色.
Qin Yan fought with fewer opponents but didn't appear weak. She seemed to be gaining an upper hand.
bié de sì líng qiě bù tí . bái hǔ , míng míng yǐ jīng bèi zì jǐ yǔ yuè ér hé lì , zhū shā diào le a ！
别的四灵且不提.白虎,明明已经被自己与月儿合力,诛杀掉了啊！
"Zz-zz, this woman's strength is truly formidable. Her dark magical energy differs from ours. If I'm not mistaken, she should be a demon from beyond the heavens."
suī rán zhǐ yào yǒu chuán chéng de zhēn líng zhī huǒ , xīn de bái hǔ zǒng néng gòu chóng xīn dàn shēng de .
虽然只要有传承的真灵之火,新的白虎总能够重新诞生的.
A praising voice echoed nearby, tinged with a hint of schadenfreude. Only Tian Xiaojian could hear it clearly; its owner was none other than the former Demon King.
rán ér zhè xū yào shí jiān .
然而这需要时间.
He now had only a fragment of his soul left, but his knowledge and insight remained sharp.
yǎn qián , cái guò le cōng cōng jǐ bǎi nián .
眼前,才过了匆匆几百年.
Peach Blossom Pool, he had visited before, knowing exactly where the peach tree grew. Encouraging Tian Xiaojian to cause chaos made sense—his path required fewer restrictions, allowing him to arrive at this place almost simultaneously with Qin Yan.
duì yú fán rén ér yán , bù duǎn . dàn zài tā men zhè ge jìng jiè de xiū xiān zhě , què jǐn jǐn shì dàn zhǐ yī huī jiān , qū qū zhè diǎn shí jiān , bù kě néng dàn shēng xīn yí dài de bái hǔ .
对于凡人而言,不短.但在他们这个境界的修仙者,却仅仅是弹指一挥间,区区这点时间,不可能诞生新一代的白虎.
"Uncle, stop making sarcastic remarks. Whether she's a demon or a monster is irrelevant. The pressing issue is how to get through here. You said it was the必经之路to the peach tree sanctuary. How can I possibly sneak past under these circumstances?"
ér yǎn qián zhè jiā huo , míng xiǎn yǐ jīng zài zhè lǐ cún zài hěn jiǔ le , zhè jiū jìng shì zěn me yī huí shì ne ?
而眼前这家伙,明显已经在这里存在很久了,这究竟是怎么一回事呢?
Tian Xiaojian grumbled. It wasn't hard to understand his anger; before, the Demon King had been confident he could obtain the sacred peach fruit.
ér zhè yī qiè , qín yán bù xiǎo de , cǐ shí cǐ kè , tā yě gēn běn méi yǒu shí jiān kǎo lǜ shén me .
而这一切,秦妍不晓得,此时此刻,她也根本没有时间考虑什么.
Now, reflecting on it, it was nothing but nonsense.
hěn xiǎn rán , yǎn qián zhè xīng pà de jiā huo , jiù shì pán táo shù de shǒu wèi le .
很显然,眼前这猩怕的家伙,就是蟠桃树的守卫了.
Other difficulties aside, he didn't have a chance of sneaking through unnoticed. With so many妖族 creatures and clear spiritual senses, sneaking in would be impossible.
bù dǎ dǎo tā men , zì jǐ de mù dì , shì bù kě néng bàn dào de .
不打倒他们,自己的目的,是不可能办到的.
So there was only one option… charging forward!
shì yǐ zhì cǐ , zǎo yǐ méi yǒu huí xuán de yú dì , qín yán de yǎn zhōng , yì máng shǎn shuò bù yǐ , pīn le .
事已至此,早已没有回旋的余地,秦妍的眼中,异芒闪烁不已,拼了.
But just as this thought flashed through his mind, Tian Xiaojian shook his head to dismiss it.
tiān mó jiàn zì zhǐ jiān fú xiàn ér chū , yī dào dào jiàn guāng , shì yóu lóng qū zhé , qín yán de shí lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě , jī hū měi yī jiàn , dōu yùn hán yǒu bù tóng de tiān dì fǎ zé .
天魔剑自指尖浮现而出,一道道剑光,似游龙曲折,秦妍的实力非同小可,几乎每一剑,都蕴含有不同的天地法则.
Not only were the odds of success uncertain, but the time spent would be hard to calculate. Rain Cloud Alliance members might send experts at any moment to guard the peach grove.
yī biān mó qì fān yǒng , lìng yī biān , yāo qì gǔn gǔn ér chū .
一边魔气翻涌,另一边,妖气滚滚而出.
At that point, not only would he fail, but he could find himself in a very awkward situation.
shùn jiān , jiù jiāng zhěng gè dì xià róng dòng dōu fù gài zhù , bào liè shēng cǐ qǐ bǐ fú .
瞬间,就将整个地下溶洞都覆盖住,爆裂声此起彼伏.
While standing by was an option, trying to cause chaos would surely be unacceptable to Rain Cloud Alliance.
qín yán yǐ shǎo dǎ duō , chǎng miàn shàng què sì hū sī háo bù xiǎn de qiè ruò , yǐn yǐn de , hái zhàn jù le jǐ fēn shàng fēng lái zhe .
秦妍以少打多,场面上却似乎丝毫不显得怯弱,隐隐的,还占据了几分上风来着.
He should never have come here. Tian Xiaojian regretted listening to the other party's temptation, but it was too late now. Returning the same way was equally risky of being discovered.
……
……
The Demon King was the instigator. Hearing Tian Xiaojian’s complaints, he called out for heaven's injustice: "Jiannian, how can you blame me? I had a chance to pass through without triggering the Hundred Spirit Array, but who would have thought that a woman would beat us to it..."
Rain continued to pour down as misfortune struck. Meanwhile, in Fairy Cloud's domain, she also encountered danger.
Though the Ten Thousand Serpent King helped her fend off powerful enemies along the way, the number of restrictions and barriers was countless. For a cultivator with lesser strength, let alone finding the peach tree, they would have long perished under these restraints.
