chū qí bù yì ， gōng qí bù bèi 。
出其不意，攻其不备。
Surprise attack, catch them off guard.
jīng guò yī fān jiào liàng ， duì yú yǔ tóng xiān zi de shí lì ， mó jiāo wáng xīn zhōng ， qí shí yǐ jīng dà gài yǒu le yí gè rèn zhī 。
经过一番较量，对于雨桐仙子的实力，魔蛟王心中，其实已经大概有了一个认知。
After a fierce exchange, the Wutong Fairy's strength had left Demon Serpent King with a clear understanding of her capabilities.
píng xīn lái shuō ， cǐ nǚ què shí yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò zì jǐ méi cuò 。
平心来说，此女确实远远胜过自己没错。
To be honest, she was indeed far superior to him.
jiù suàn bù jí dāng nián de ā xiū luó ， bǐ zhī zhēn xiān yě jué bù xùn sè 。
就算不及当年的阿修罗，比之真仙也绝不逊色。
Even if she didn't match Arishura from years ago, she was no less formidable than a true cultivator.
yī duì yī ， zì jǐ kěn dìng shì dǎ bù guò ， dàn zhè chǎng zhàn dòu ， zì jǐ zhù dìng jiù shū le me ？
一对一，自己肯定是打不过，但这场战斗，自己注定就输了么？
In a one-on-one battle, he would definitely lose, but did this mean his defeat was inevitable?
wèi bì ！
未必！
Not necessarily!
xū zhī yī cháng dòu fǎ de shèng fù ， yǐng xiǎng de yīn sù qí shí hěn duō 。
须知一场斗法的胜负，影响的因素其实很多。
One must know that the outcome of a magical duel is influenced by many factors.
bìng bú shì shéi de shí lì qiáng ， shuí jiù yí dìng wěn yíng le ， fǒu zé ， yòu zěn me huì yǒu yǐ ruò shèng qiáng yī shuō 。
并不是谁的实力强，谁就一定稳赢了，否则，又怎么会有以弱胜强一说。
It's not always the case that the stronger party will win; otherwise, there wouldn't be instances of underdogs triumphing over their opponents.
ér zhè yī xià tōu xí ， tā yǐ shì jié jìn le quán lì ， shī zhǎn chū yā xiāng dǐ de gōng fu ， bù shuō yī xià zi jiāng yǔ tóng xiān zi miè shā yú cǐ chù ， zhǐ yào néng jiāng tā zhòng chuāng ， jiù suàn shì dá dào mù dì le 。
而这一下偷袭，他已是竭尽了全力，施展出压箱底的功夫，不说一下子将雨桐仙子灭杀于此处，只要能将她重创，就算是达到目的了。
And with this sudden ambush, he had already exerted his full strength, deploying his most powerful technique. He didn't expect to kill Wutong Fairy on the spot but just needed to severely injure her.
yī shí jiān ， zhǐ jiàn mó qì rú cháo ， hùn luàn de tiān dì fǎ zé ， yī gǔ nǎo xiàng zhe yǔ tóng xiān zi kuáng yǒng ér chū 。
一时间，只见魔气如潮，混乱的天地法则，一股脑向着雨桐仙子狂涌而出。
In an instant, a tide of demonic energy surged forth, chaotic laws of heaven and earth rushing towards Wutong Fairy with all their might.
yǎn kàn zhe ， jiù yào jiāng tā yān mò 。
眼看着，就要将她淹没。
It seemed she would be overwhelmed by it.
bù dé bù tí ， zhè yī cì ， wàn jiāo wáng què shí qiǎo miào de zhuā zhù le shí jī 。
不得不提，这一次，万蛟王确实巧妙的抓住了时机。
Indeed, Demon Serpent King had cleverly seized this opportunity. However, Wutong Fairy's face showed no signs of fear.
rán ér yǔ tóng xiān zi de liǎn shàng ， què bú jiàn yī fēn yī háo de wèi jù 。
然而雨桐仙子的脸上，却不见一分一毫的畏惧。
Raising her right hand, a thin, ethereal sword materialized from the air.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī bǐng báo rú chán yì de xiān jiàn fú xiàn ér chū 。
右手抬起，一柄薄如蝉翼的仙剑浮现而出。
She grasped it lightly.
tā qīng qīng shēn shǒu wò zhù 。
她轻轻伸手握住。
Then, Li Yutong's figure blurred slightly, and she conjured dozens more copies of herself.
suí hòu lǐ yǔ tóng de shēn xíng lüè yī mó hú 。
随后李雨桐的身形略一模糊。
"Is that so?"
tóng yàng biàn huà chū shù shí míng zhī duō 。
同样变化出数十名之多。
Demon Serpent King was dumbfounded. The opponent had actually used the same technique to multiply themselves like him.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
And the number of duplicates far exceeded his own.
wàn jiāo wáng chēng mù jié shé ， duì fāng jū rán rú zì jǐ yī yàng ， shī zhǎn chū le huà shēn wàn qiān de mì shù 。
万蛟王瞠目结舌，对方居然如自己一样，施展出了化身万千的秘术。
Now, each dragon faced at least two or three Wutong Fairsies.
ér qiě biàn huà chū lái de shù liàng ， yuǎn fēi zì jǐ kě bǐ 。
而且变化出来的数量，远非自己可比。
"Wanting to ambush this Fairy? Fine, let you see the power of Ten Thousand Sword Technique!"
dùn shí ， měi yī tóu jiāo lóng 。 miàn duì de yǔ tóng xiān zi dōu yǒu liǎng sān gè 。
顿时，每一头蛟龙。面对的雨桐仙子都有两三个。
Wutong Fairy's sweet voice emerged from her lips. With a wave of her jade hand, sword light rained down like raindrops, filling the sky with sword showers.
“ xiǎng yào tōu xí běn xiān zi me ， hǎo ba ， ràng nǐ jiàn shí yī xià wàn jiàn jué de wēi lì rú hé ！”
“想要偷袭本仙子么，好吧，让你见识一下万剑诀的威力如何！”
Each sword beam was incredibly sharp, tearing through the void and cutting everything in its path. Even the laws of heaven and earth were reduced to dust by these fierce beams.
yǔ tóng xiān zi yuè ěr de shēng yīn yóu tán kǒu zhōng chuán chū ， yù shǒu yī fú ， jiàn guāng rú yǔ dī yì bān de sǎ luò ， dùn shí ， màn tiān dōu shì jiàn yǔ 。
雨桐仙子悦耳的声音由檀口中传出，玉手一拂，剑光如雨滴一般的洒落，顿时，漫天都是剑雨。
Wutong Fairy's reaction was too swift, or rather, too shocking.
měi yī dào jiàn guāng jiē líng lì yǐ jí ， sī pò xū kōng ， zhǎn jǐn wàn wù ， jí biàn shì tiān dì fǎ zé 。 zài zhè líng lì de jiàn guāng miàn qián 。 yě cuī kū lā xiǔ bān de huà wèi le fěn mò 。
每一道剑光皆凌厉以极，撕破虚空，斩尽万物，即便是天地法则。在这凌厉的剑光面前。也摧枯拉朽般的化为了粉末。
The initial ambush had instantly turned into a hard-hitting confrontation.
yǔ tóng xiān zi de fǎn yìng tài guò lí pǔ ， huò zhě shuō tài xùn sù 。
雨桐仙子的反应太过离谱，或者说太迅速。
Boom!
yuán běn de tōu xí ， zài yī shùn jiān ， jiù biàn chéng le yìng pèng yìng de duì jué 。
原本的偷袭，在一瞬间，就变成了硬碰硬的对决。
The deafening roar echoed as the outcome was one-sided without doubt.
hōng ！
轰！
Eight dragons shattered under the sword light, being forcefully hurled away. Dust filled the air and thunderous sounds continued for a moment before Demon Serpent King reappeared in his true form.
jù xiǎng shēng zhèn ěr yù lóng 。 jié guǒ gèng shì yī biān dǎo de méi cuò 。
巨响声震耳欲聋。结果更是一边倒的没错。
He looked utterly miserable!
bā tóu jiāo lóng 。 zài jiàn guāng miàn qián 。 dōu biàn dé zhī lí pò suì ， bèi hěn hěn de zá fēi 。
八头蛟龙。在剑光面前。都变得支离破碎，被狠狠的砸飞。
His scales were broken, and only two of his original eight heads remained; the rest had been decapitated by Wutong Fairy's sword.
yān chén màn tiān ， jù xiǎng shēng bù duàn 。 shǎo qǐng ， wàn jiāo wáng cái chóng xīn lù chū le zhēn yán 。
烟尘漫天，巨响声不断。少顷，万蛟王才重新露出了真颜。
Not just grievous, but on the brink of death!
láng bèi bù kān ！
狼狈不堪！
"Hmph. A域外天魔不过如此，现在还有什么可说的？"
hún shēn de lín jiǎ zhī lí pò suì le bù shuō ， yuán běn de bā gè tóu lú ， rú jīn zhǐ shèng xià liǎng gè 。
浑身的鳞甲支离破碎了不说，原本的八个头颅，如今只剩下两个。
Wutong Fairy's cold voice entered his ears as she finally vented her anger after being beaten so badly.
qí yú de ， quán bèi yǔ tóng xiān zi de xiān jiàn gěi zhǎn pò diào le 。
其余的，全被雨桐仙子的仙剑给斩破掉了。
With no suspense left in this magical duel, Demon Serpent King suffered a crushing defeat.
qǐ zhǐ shì cǎn ， jiǎn zhí shì mìng xuán yī xiàn ！
岂止是惨，简直是命悬一线！
"Li Yutong, don't be too smug. This grudge will one day be repaid tenfold or even a hundred times."
“ hēng ， yù wài tiān mó ， yě bù guò rú cǐ ér yǐ ， nǐ xiàn zài hái yǒu shén me huà shuō ？”
“哼，域外天魔，也不过如此而已，你现在还有什么话说？”
Demon Serpent King's eyes were filled with venom, and he refused to admit defeat.
yǔ tóng xiān zi lěng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， gāng cái bèi dǎ dé zhè me cǎn ， rú jīn xiōng zhōng nà yī kǒu è qì zǒng suàn shì fā xiè le chū lái 。
雨桐仙子冷冷的声音传入耳朵，刚才被打得这么惨，如今胸中那一口恶气总算是发泄了出来。
His body was covered in fierce light as his form rapidly shrunk amidst the surging demonic energy.
ér dòu fǎ dào zhè yī bù ， yǐ jīng fēn háo xuán niàn yě wú ， wàn jiāo wáng dà bài kuī shū 。
而斗法到这一步，已经分毫悬念也无，万蛟王大败亏输。
In an instant, he transformed back into a serpent-headed human creature, still severely injured and weakened.
“ lǐ yǔ tóng ， nǐ bú yào tài dé yì le ， jīn rì zhī chóu ， zǒng yǒu yī tiān ， běn wáng yào nǐ shí bèi bǎi bèi de cháng huán huí lái 。”
“李雨桐，你不要太得意了，今日之仇，总有一天，本王要你十倍百倍的偿还回来。”
"Foolish. Even now, you won't admit defeat. Wanting revenge on this Fairy, do you think... I would give you such an opportunity?"
wàn jiāo wáng de yǎn zhōng mǎn shì yuàn dú ， zuǐ bā shàng gèng shì yì diǎn dōu bù kěn rèn shū 。
万蛟王的眼中满是怨毒，嘴巴上更是一点都不肯认输。
Indeed, Li Yutong didn’t believe Demon Serpent King could ever surpass her one day. But danger must be eliminated before it grows.
hún shēn lì máng dà qǐ ， shēn xíng què zài gǔn gǔn de mó qì zhī zhōng xùn sù suō xiǎo le 。
浑身厉芒大起，身形却在滚滚的魔气之中迅速缩小了。
Since she had confirmed he was a域外天魔, there was no way she would let him leave alive.
bù guò qǐng kè de gōng fu ， jiù chóng xīn huà wèi le jiāo shǒu rén shēn de guài wù 。
不过顷刻的功夫，就重新化为了蛟首人身的怪物。
As the saying goes:斩草不除根，春风吹又生. With Li Yutong’s level of power and experience, she understood this simple truth all too well.
dāng rán ， yī jiù shì biàn tǐ lín shāng ， qì xī gèng shì shuāi ruò 。
当然，依旧是遍体鳞伤，气息更是衰弱。
Her eyes now revealed a chilling intent.
“ yú chǔn ， dōu dào le zhè shí hòu ， zuǐ bā shàng hái bù kěn rèn shū ， xiǎng yào xiàng běn xiān zi fù chóu ， nǐ yǐ wéi …… wǒ huì gěi nǐ zhè yàng de jī huì me ？”
“愚蠢，都到了这时候，嘴巴上还不肯认输，想要像本仙子复仇，你以为……我会给你这样的机会么？”
Raising her jade hand, the sword's surface emitted a glow before a flame-like light rose up, not exactly fire but intense with terrifying temporal and spatial forces.
chéng rán ， lǐ yǔ tóng bù rèn wéi wàn jiāo wáng yǒu zhāo yī rì ， néng gòu chāo guò zì jǐ ， rán ér wēi xiǎn shì yào è shā yú méng yá lǐ 。
诚然，李雨桐不认为万蛟王有朝一日，能够超过自己，然而危险是要扼杀于萌芽里。
By intertwining time and space laws to enhance each other’s effects, only five or so in the entire Three Realms could achieve such power. Li Yutong had mastered it to perfection.
jì rán yǐ jīng què dìng le duì fāng shì yù wài tiān mó ， tā dāng rán bú huì ràng duì fāng yǒu jī huì huó zhe lí kāi cǐ chù 。
既然已经确定了对方是域外天魔，她当然不会让对方有机会活着离开此处。
"Time reversal, shatter the void."
sú huà shuō zhǎn cǎo bù chú gēn ， chūn fēng chuī yòu shēng ， shí lì dào le lǐ yǔ tóng zhè ge děng jí ， gèng jīng lì guò wú shù de fēng yǔ ， qǐ huì bù míng bái zhè me jiǎn dān de dào lǐ ？
俗话说斩草不除根，春风吹又生，实力到了李雨桐这个等级，更经历过无数的风雨，岂会不明白这么简单的道理？
Her light voice echoed as she raised her right hand towards the ground.
tā de yǎn zhōng ， yǐ háo bù yǎn shì de liú lù chū sēn rán de shā yì 。
她的眼中，已毫不掩饰的流露出森然的杀意。
Silently, this sword strike seemed devoid of any power.
yù shǒu tái qǐ ， xiān jiàn biǎo miàn guāng yùn liú zhuǎn ， suí hòu jū rán téng shēng qǐ le yī tuán huǒ yàn ， bú duì ， yīng gāi shì guāng yàn ， yào mù yǐ jí ， lǐ miàn chōng chì zhe lìng rén wèi jù de shí kōng zhī lì 。
玉手抬起，仙剑表面光晕流转，随后居然腾升起了一团火焰，不对，应该是光焰，耀目以极，里面充斥着令人畏惧的时空之力。
It appeared like mere posturing!
jiāng shí jiān fǎ zé yǔ kōng jiān fǎ zé róu hé zài yì qǐ ， hù xiāng fǔ zhù ， cóng ér fā huī chū lìng rén wèi jù de xiào guǒ ， néng gòu zuò dào zhè yì diǎn ， fàng yǎn sān jiè ， zòng héng jīn gǔ ， yě bù chāo guò wǔ zhǐ zhī shù ， ér lǐ yǔ tóng ， gèng shì xiū liàn dào le lú huǒ chún qīng de dì bù 。
将时间法则与空间法则糅合在一起，互相辅助，从而发挥出令人畏惧的效果，能够做到这一点，放眼三界，纵横今古，也不超过五指之数，而李雨桐，更是修炼到了炉火纯青的地步。
However, Li Yutong’s solemn use was not a feint.
“ shí kōng nì zhuǎn ， pò suì xū kōng 。”
“时空逆转，破碎虚空。”
Demon Serpent King's expression turned extremely grim.
tā qīng yín de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tóng shí yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， cháo zhe xià fāng huī luò ér qù 。
她轻吟的声音传入耳朵，同时右手抬起，朝着下方挥落而去。
Nowhere to think about dignity; his hands moved like butterflies as he summoned dozens of defensive treasures with colorful spiritual light flickering.
wú shēng wú xī ， zhè yī jiàn ， jū rán fēn háo yě bú jiàn wēi lì 。
无声无息，这一剑，居然分毫也不见威力。
Though the true Demon Serpent King had been taken over, he was one of the three great beasts in the spirit realm, far richer than ordinary ancient monsters.
fǎng fú xū zhāng shēng shì ！
仿佛虚张声势！
These dozen defensive treasures were all precious items. One shield-like object and a golden ring the size of a fist emitted radiant light and subtly resonated with nearby primordial energy.
rán ér lǐ yǔ tóng rú cǐ níng zhòng de shǐ chū ， dāng rán bù kě néng yǔ xū zhāo yǒu shén me guān xì 。
然而李雨桐如此凝重的使出，当然不可能与虚招有什么关系。
Primordial artifacts!
wàn jiāo wáng de liǎn sè biàn dé nán kàn yǐ jí 。
万蛟王的脸色变得难看以极。
Demon Serpent King even brought out two先天之宝, rare and powerful. It was remarkable that he could still drive so many treasures despite his severe injuries.
zhè shí hòu nǎ lǐ hái gù dé le shén me fēng dù ， shuāng shǒu rú chuān huā hú dié yì bān de fēi wǔ ， dàn jiàn wǔ yán liù sè de líng máng shǎn shuò ， tā yī lián jì qǐ le shù shí jiàn fáng yù de bǎo wù 。
这时候哪里还顾得了什么风度，双手如穿花蝴蝶一般的飞舞，但见五颜六色的灵芒闪烁，他一连祭起了数十件防御的宝物。
Logically, such defenses should be described as unbreakable walls of iron and bronze.
suī rán zhēn zhèng de wàn jiāo wáng zǎo yǐ bèi duó shě ， dàn tā bì jìng shì líng jiè de sān dà yāo wáng zhī yī ， shēn jiā zhī fēng hòu yuǎn fēi yì bān de lǎo guài wù kě yǐ qǐ jí 。
虽然真正的万蛟王早已被夺舍，但他毕竟是灵界的三大妖王之一，身家之丰厚远非一般的老怪物可以企及。
After all, these treasures would likely have叠加 effects.
zhè shù shí jiàn fáng yù de bǎo wù ， měi yī jiàn dōu kān chēng zhēn pǐn ， yóu qí shì qí zhōng yī guī jiǎ mú yàng de dùn pái ， hái yǒu yī quán tou dà xiǎo de jīn huán ， yī fàng chū jiù líng guāng sì shè ， bìng yǐn yǐn dài dòng fù jìn de tiān dì yuán qì ， dōu wèi zhī gòng míng le 。
这数十件防御的宝物，每一件都堪称珍品，尤其是其中一龟甲模样的盾牌，还有一拳头大小的金环，一放出就灵光四射，并隐隐带动附近的天地元气，都为之共鸣了。
One strike should suffice to repel an attack.
xiān tiān zhī wù ！
先天之物！
However, this time, what faced him was Wutong Fairy's ultimate technique, the perfected temporal and spatial forces!
wàn jiāo wáng jū rán lián xiān tiān zhī bǎo dōu ná le chū lái ， hái yǒu liǎng jiàn zhī duō ， yě nán dé tā zhòng shāng zhī xià ， hái néng qū dòng nà me duō bǎo wù 。
万蛟王居然连先天之宝都拿了出来，还有两件之多，也难得他重伤之下，还能驱动那么多宝物。
Sizzle...
àn lǐ shuō ， zhè yàng de fáng yù ， gāi yòng tóng qiáng tiě bì lái xíng róng 。
按理说，这样的防御，该用铜墙铁壁来形容。
The silent sword energy had already invaded. The first to be hit was a thick shield-like treasure, an incredible scene unfolded.
bì jìng zhè xiē bǎo wù ， hù xiāng zhī jiān yīng gāi hái huì yǒu dié jiā de xiào guǒ 。
毕竟这些宝物，互相之间应该还会有叠加的效果。
That shield instantly turned into dust.
dǐ dǎng yī cì gōng jī ， gāi chuò chuò yǒu yú 。
抵挡一次攻击，该绰绰有余。
Following suit, other treasures' light screens shattered as well, utterly useless. Finally, two先天之宝 were left.
rán ér zhè yī cì ， tā suǒ miàn duì de ， shì yǔ tóng xiān zi de jué jì ， lú huǒ chún qīng de shí kōng zhī lì ！
然而这一次，他所面对的，是雨桐仙子的绝技，炉火纯青的时空之力！
Demon Serpent King's face lost all color; he had no choice but to spit out his life essence.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
The two treasures emitted fierce light and fused together, forming a golden and silver-colored light ball that enveloped Demon Serpent King.
wú shēng wú xī de jiàn qì ， yǐ qīn xí dào le zhè lǐ ， shǒu dāng qí chōng de ， shì yī hòu zhòng yì cháng de dùn pái yàng bǎo wù ， bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le 。
无声无息的剑气，已侵袭到了这里，首当其冲的，是一厚重异常的盾牌样宝物，不可思议的一幕发生了。
Li Yutong frowned as she shook her hand. A heart-pounding sizzle sounded, and an exceptionally sharp sword beam appeared, slowly yet powerfully colliding with the light ball surrounding Demon Serpent King.
nà dùn pái qǐng kè jiān jiù huà wèi le fěn mò 。
那盾牌顷刻间就化为了粉末。
In this instant, the void turned grayish-white, their domains extended and collided.
jǐn jiē zhe ， qí tā bǎo wù biàn huà de guāng mù ， yě yī yī suì liè diào le ， jìng sī háo méi yǒu yòng tú ， zuì hòu ， lún dào le liǎng jiàn xiān tiān zhī wù 。
紧接着，其他宝物变化的光幕，也一一碎裂掉了，竟丝毫没有用途，最后，轮到了两件先天之物。
金木水火土, the five elements no longer interacted; all laws became chaotic and violent... (To be continued)
Surprise attack, catch them off guard.
After a fierce exchange, the Wutong Fairy's strength had left Demon Serpent King with a clear understanding of her capabilities.
To be honest, she was indeed far superior to him.
Even if she didn't match Arishura from years ago, she was no less formidable than a true cultivator.
