suí hòu tā men biàn kàn jiàn le lìng rén zhèn hàn de yí mù 。
随后他们便看见了令人震撼的一幕。
Then they witnessed a breathtaking scene.
zhǐ jiàn xū kōng zhī zhōng ， guāng yàn zhòu qǐ ， yī huà ér guò ， suí hòu yī bái méng méng de kǒng dòng fú xiàn ér chū ， zhí jìng shù zhàng yǒu yú ， lǐ miàn chōng mǎn le lìng rén xīn jì de kōng jiān zhī lì 。
只见虚空之中，光焰骤起，一划而过，随后一白蒙蒙的孔洞浮现而出，直径数丈有余，里面充满了令人心悸的空间之力。
In the void, light flared up and flashed by. A white hole appeared, several dozen feet in diameter, filled with space energy that made one's heart palpitate.
nà lì liàng shì rú cǐ fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， pǔ tōng dù jié qī cún zài bèi juǎn rù ， dōu yǒu kě néng bèi sī chéng fěn mò ， rán ér yī jué sè nǚ zǐ què zài lǐ miàn fú xiàn ér chū ， rú xián tíng xìn bù 。
那力量是如此非同小可，普通渡劫期存在被卷入，都有可能被撕成粉末，然而一绝色女子却在里面浮现而出，如闲庭信步。
The power was so formidable; ordinary Spirit Tribulation survivors might be torn to shreds if caught in it. Yet, an exceptionally beautiful woman emerged from within as if strolling leisurely through a garden.
nà hùn luàn de kōng jiān zhī lì ， duì tā jìng shì fēn háo yǐng xiǎng yě wú ， fǎn ér gèng yǒu jǐ fēn wēi yí píng tiān ér chū 。
那混乱的空间之力，对她竟似分毫影响也无，反而更有几分威仪平添而出。
That chaotic space energy seemed to have no effect on her whatsoever, instead adding a sense of majesty to the scene.
cǐ nǚ shēn cái ē nuó ， fèng méi xiù méi ， rán ér méi yǔ zhī jiān ， què yǒu gāo guì de qì dù liú lù ， qí shēn fèn yǐ hū zhī yù chū 。
此女身材婀娜，凤眉秀眉，然而眉宇之间，却有高贵的气度流露，其身份已呼之欲出。
This lady had an elegant figure and delicate eyebrows, but there was a noble air about her that hinted at her high status. Her identity was clear for all to see.
lǐ yǔ tóng ！
李雨桐！
Li Yutong!
zài tā chū xiàn de tóng shí ， jī hū jiù xī yǐn le suǒ yǒu rén de guān zhù 。
在她出现的同时，几乎就吸引了所有人的关注。
As she appeared, she immediately drew everyone's attention. The Two Heavens Elders were overjoyed and quickly flew past their side to greet her.
tiān dì èr lǎo gèng shì jīng xǐ jiāo jí ， máng bǎi tuō shēn biān de yù wài tiān mó fēi le guò qù 。
天地二老更是惊喜交集，忙摆脱身边的域外天魔飞了过去。
"Master Alliance..."
“ méng zhǔ ……”
“盟主……”
Just as Heavenly璇尊者 began to speak, Li Yutong moved. At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
tiān xuán zūn zhě gāng gāng kāi kǒu ， huà yīn wèi luò ， jiù jiàn lǐ yǔ tóng dòng le 。
天璇尊者刚刚开口，话音未落，就见李雨桐动了。
Her movements were crystal clear to every eye, yet they were also incredibly swift. Simply put, one could see them clearly but would be unable to react in time.
zài zhè yī kè ， shí jiān fǎng fú dìng gé 。
在这一刻，时间仿佛定格。
She could see it all, but not follow it—clearly, this incredible scene was due to Li Yutong's activation of the Time Law.
tā de dòng zuò luò zài měi yí gè rén de yǎn lǐ ， dōu shì fèn wài qīng xī ， piān piān què yòu wú bǐ xùn jí ， jiǎn dān de shuō ， jiù shì nǐ néng kàn qīng méi wèn tí ， dàn xiǎng yào gēn jù tā de dòng zuò ， zuò chū fǎn yìng ， zé biàn chéng chī rén shuō mèng le 。
她的动作落在每一个人的眼里，都是分外清晰，偏偏却又无比迅疾，简单的说，就是你能看清没问题，但想要根据她的动作，做出反应，则变成痴人说梦了。
So Lin Xuan saw her delicate fingers flip, revealing a divine sword that she swung downward.
néng kàn qīng ， què gēn bù shàng ， xiǎn rán ， zhè yàng bù kě sī yì de yí mù ， shì yīn wèi yǔ tóng xiān zi cuī dòng le shí jiān fǎ zé 。
能看清，却跟不上，显然，这样不可思议的一幕，是因为雨桐仙子催动了时间法则。
The entire action was seamless; as soon as the attack began, it unfolded with perfect fluidity.
yú shì lín xuān biàn kàn jiàn tā yù shǒu fān zhuǎn ， xiān jiàn yìng rù yǎn lián ， cháo zhe xià fāng huī luò 。
于是林轩便看见她玉手翻转，仙剑映入眼帘，朝着下方挥落。
The sword light was brilliant!
zhěng gè dòng zuò sī háo chí zhì yě wú ， yī qì hē chéng zhī xià gōng jī biàn zhǎn kāi le 。
整个动作丝毫迟滞也无，一气呵成之下攻击便展开了。
It shone like a giant flower blooming in their vision, dazzlingly bright. Accompanying this were sharp sword qi.
jiàn guāng liàng lì ！
剑光亮丽！
Like raindrops on banana leaves or petals scattering, despite only one sword being swung, the sword qi spread to all corners, elusive and hard to pin down.
biàn rú tóng yī duǒ jù dà de xiān huā nù fàng zài shì xiàn lǐ ， xuàn mù wú bǐ ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de ， què shì xī lì de jiàn qì 。
便如同一朵巨大的鲜花怒放在视线里，炫目无比，与之伴随的，却是犀利的剑气。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted at that moment.
rú yǔ dǎ jiāo hé ， shì xiān huā sàn luò ， míng míng zhǐ yǒu yī jiàn huī chū ， kě jiàn qì de zhǐ xiàng què mí màn xiàng le gè gè jiǎo luò ， xū wú piāo miǎo ， nán yǐ zhuō mō 。
如雨打蕉荷，似鲜花散落，明明只有一剑挥出，可剑气的指向却弥漫像了各个角落，虚无缥缈，难以捉摸。
It was as if he had been spotted by a snake. This single sword strike from Li Yutong posed an immense threat.
lín xuān zài zhè yī kè tóng kǒng wēi suō 。
林轩在这一刻瞳孔微缩。
Though it wasn't aimed directly at him, Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of impending danger... If this sword were truly meant for me, could I dodge it?
jiù fǎng fú bèi shé dīng zhù de liè wù 。 zài zhè yī kè ， lǐ yǔ tóng zhè yī jiàn gěi tā de wēi xié tài dà le 。
就仿佛被蛇盯住的猎物。在这一刻，李雨桐这一剑给他的威胁太大了。
He didn't know. Or rather, Lin Xuan had no confidence in his ability to do so.
jǐn guǎn bú shì zhǐ xiàng zì jǐ ， kě lín xuān xīn zhōng ， yī jiù rěn bú zhù yǒu wēi jī gǎn shēng chū …… jiǎ rú ， wǒ shì shuō jiǎ shè ， zhè yī jiàn zhēn shì chōng zhe zì jǐ lái de ， wǒ yǒu méi yǒu néng lì jiāng tā duǒ guò ？
尽管不是指向自己，可林轩心中，依旧忍不住有危机感生出……假如，我是说假设，这一剑真是冲着自己来的，我有没有能力将它躲过？
In the blink of an eye, the astonishing power of that single strike was revealed before everyone's eyes.
bù xiǎo de 。 huò zhě shuō ， lín xuān gēn běn jiù méi yǒu yì diǎn bǎ wò 。
不晓得。或者说，林轩根本就没有一点把握。
"Ah!"
ér jǐn jǐn guò le shùn xī de gōng fu ， zhè yī jiàn lìng rén jīng tàn de wēi lì ， jiù chéng xiàn zài zhòng rén de yǎn qián le 。
而仅仅过了瞬息的功夫，这一剑令人惊叹的威力，就呈现在众人的眼前了。
"Aieyoy!"
“ āi yō ！”
“哎哟！”
Cries of pain echoed continuously into their ears.
……
……
The域外天魔 who had just been fearless were completely wiped out by this sword strike.
cǎn jiào shēng cǐ qǐ bǐ fú ， bù tíng de chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
惨叫声此起彼伏，不停的传入耳朵。
One strike to clear the demons!
gāng cái hái hàn bù wèi sǐ de yù wài tiān mó ， bèi zhè yī jiàn gěi chè dǐ dàng píng le 。
刚才还悍不畏死的域外天魔，被这一剑给彻底荡平了。
Lin Xuan had always thought it merely a legend. But now, this spectacle was happening before his very eyes.
yī jiàn dàng mó ！
一剑荡魔！
With one move and a single sword swing, hundreds of these powerful域外天魔 fell without a chance to escape.
lín xuān yǐ qián yǐ wéi jǐn jǐn shì chuán shuō 。
林轩以前以为仅仅是传说。
These creatures were no weaklings; all were at the Spirit Tribulation stage. Otherwise, the Rain Mist Alliance led by the Two Heavens Elders wouldn't have been in such a tough battle.
rán ér cǐ kè 。 què wú bǐ zhēn shí de zài yǎn qián fā shēng le 。
然而此刻。却无比真实的在眼前发生了。
The 3000 Shadow Guards had spent so much time but failed to clear these域外天魔, yet under Li Yutong's single sword strike, they couldn't even last one round.
jǐn jǐn yī zhāo ， yī jiàn huī luò ， zhè shù yǐ bǎi jì de yù wài tiān mó ， jiù méi yǒu yí gè néng gòu táo tuō ， jǐn jiē yǔn luò 。
仅仅一招，一剑挥落，这数以百计的域外天魔，就没有一个能够逃脱，尽皆陨落。
If not for seeing it with their own eyes, no one would believe this story.
yào zhī dào zhè xiē jiā huo ， kě méi yǒu yí gè shì ruò zhě ， wú yī lì wài 。 quán shì dù jié jí bié de ， fǒu zé yǐ tiān dì èr lǎo wéi shǒu de yǔ lán shāng méng ， yě bú huì xiàn rù kǔ zhàn le 。
要知道这些家伙，可没有一个是弱者，无一例外。全是渡劫级别的，否则以天地二老为首的雨岚商盟，也不会陷入苦战了。
Was the Rain Mist Alliance severely embarrassed by this turn of events?
sān qiān yǐng wèi ， huā fèi le zhè me jiǔ de gōng fu ， dōu bù céng dàng píng yù wài tiān mó ， rán ér zài yǔ tóng xiān zi de yī jiàn zhī wēi xià ， què zǒu bù liǎo yī hé 。
三千影卫，花费了这么久的功夫，都不曾荡平域外天魔，然而在雨桐仙子的一剑之威下，却走不了一合。
Had its prestige been tarnished due to this unexpected incident?
ruò bú shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， shuō chū qù dōu nán yǐ lìng rén zhì xìn de 。
若不是亲眼目睹，说出去都难以令人置信的。
The answer was a resounding yes!
zhè cì biàn gù 。 yǔ lán shāng méng hěn diū liǎn me ？
这次变故。雨岚商盟很丢脸么？
But at that moment, everything seemed to reverse.
shì fǒu yīn wèi zhè cì yì wài ， ér wēi yán sǎo dì le ？
是否因为这次意外，而威严扫地了？
The three realms' powerful beings, who had stood by and watched, all showed signs of respect on their faces.
dá àn shì kěn dìng de ！
答案是肯定的！
Li Yutong's single sword strike alone could restore the Rain Mist Alliance's prestige.
kě jiù zài zhè yī kè ， suǒ yǒu de yī qiè ， què jǐn dōu fǎn zhuǎn le 。
可就在这一刻，所有的一切，却尽都反转了。
No matter what it had endured before, as long as she was here, no one would dare treat the Rain Mist Alliance lightly.
zhàn zài yī páng kàn xiào huà de sān jiè qiáng zhě ， rén rén liǎn shàng dōu lù chū jìng wèi zhī sè 。
站在一旁看笑话的三界强者，人人脸上都露出敬畏之色。
Securing the lives of hundreds of域外天魔 with a single sword swing—only true immortals might accomplish such a feat.
yǔ tóng xiān zi zhè yī jiàn ， zú yǐ wǎn huí yǔ lán shāng méng de wēi yán 。
雨桐仙子这一剑，足以挽回雨岚商盟的威严。
Strong, incredibly so!
bù guǎn céng jīng zāo yù guò shén me ， zhǐ yào tā zuò zhèn zài cǐ chù 。 shuí gǎn shì yǔ lán shāng méng wèi wú wù 。
不管曾经遭遇过什么，只要她坐镇在此处。谁敢视雨岚商盟为无物。
The first person in the Spirit Realm not only lived up to his reputation but also demonstrated far greater power than his fame suggested.
yī jiàn miǎo shā shù yǐ bǎi jì de yù wài tiān mó ， zhēn xiān shí yǒu ** yě zuò bú dào de 。
一剑秒杀数以百计的域外天魔，真仙十有**也做不到的。
People were awed and intimidated. At that moment, no one dared oppose Li Yutong.
qiáng ， qiáng dé lí pǔ ！
强，强得离谱！
But then, something even more astonishing happened.
líng jiè dì yī rén bù jǐn shèng míng wú xū ， ér qiě jiàn miàn suǒ zhǎn shì chū lái de shí lì 。 hái yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò le tā de míng qì 。
灵界第一人不仅盛名无虚，而且见面所展示出来的实力。还远远胜过了她的名气。
Li Yutong's lips parted slightly, and a pleasant voice echoed in their ears. Though soft-spoken, the content was like a thunderclap: "I apologize for scaring you all. I have indeed failed to properly entertain you. The Ten Thousand Serpent King has conspired with the域外天魔 from outside, plotting the Peach Immortal Fruit, and he has been slain by me..."
ràng rén pèi fú ， ràng rén wèi jù ， zǒng ér yán zhī ， zài zhè yī kè ， méi yǒu rén xiāng yǔ yǔ tóng xiān zi wèi dí 。
让人佩服，让人畏惧，总而言之，在这一刻，没有人相与雨桐仙子为敌。
"What?"
kě jiē xià lái ， shuí yě méi xiǎng dào ， hái yǒu gèng lìng rén zhèn hàn de xiāo xī 。
可接下来，谁也没想到，还有更令人震撼的消息。
Before she finished speaking, a cacophony of discussions filled their ears as the cultivators couldn't hide their astonishment.
yǔ tóng xiān zi tán kǒu wēi qǐ ， yuè ěr de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， míng míng shì hěn qīng róu de ， kě nà nèi róng ， què rú jīng léi yì bān xiǎng guò ：“ ràng gè wèi dào yǒu shòu jīng le ， běn xiān zi zhāo dài shí yǒu kuī qiàn zhī chù ， zhè yī cì wàn jiāo wáng yǔ yù wài tiān mó lǐ yìng wài hé ， tú móu pán táo shèng guǒ ， yǐ jīng bèi wǒ zhǎn le ……”
雨桐仙子檀口微启，悦耳的声音传入耳朵，明明是很轻柔的，可那内容，却如惊雷一般响过：“让各位道友受惊了，本仙子招待实有亏欠之处，这一次万蛟王与域外天魔里应外合，图谋蟠桃圣果，已经被我斩了……”
It was no wonder they were shocked. The news was too outrageous: the Ten Thousand Serpent King conspired with域外天魔?
“ shén me ？”
“什么？”
Are you serious!
huà yīn wèi luò ， fēn fán de yì lùn shēng jiù yǐ chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhòng xiū xiān zhě wú fǎ yǎn shì liǎn shàng de jīng yà zhī sè ， shèn zhì yǐ wéi zì jǐ tīng cuò 。
话音未落，纷繁的议论声就已传入耳朵，众修仙者无法掩饰脸上的惊讶之色，甚至以为自己听错。
The Ten Thousand Serpent King was one of the three great demons in the Spirit Realm.
yě nán guài tā men jīng è 。
也难怪他们惊愕。
As a top existence, he had no reason to be associated with域外天魔 unless he was insane.
shí zài shì zhè ge xiāo xī tài guò lí pǔ ， wàn jiāo wáng gōu jié yù wài tiān mó ？
实在是这个消息太过离谱，万蛟王勾结域外天魔？
This defied logic and was hard to believe.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ！
有没有搞错！
But if it were a joke, Li Yutong's personality was notoriously aloof, and there was no way she would make such a joke.
wàn jiāo wáng kě shì líng jiè sān dà yāo wáng zhī yī 。
万蛟王可是灵界三大妖王之一。
For a moment, the cultivators were uncertain. The clamor grew louder.
zuò wèi líng jiè zuì dǐng jí de cún zài ， tā zěn me kě néng yǔ yù wài tiān mó yǒu guān xì ， chú fēi tā nǎo dài yǒu wèn tí 。
做为灵界最顶级的存在，他怎么可能与域外天魔有关系，除非他脑袋有问题。
But soon someone noticed that the Ten Thousand Serpent King was indeed not present.
zhè bù fú hé cháng lǐ 。
这不符合常理。
Still, Li Yutong's statement was too shocking to be believed by many. No one dared question her, for her single sword strike had frightened even the strongest in the three realms.
yě zhe shí lìng rén nán yǐ xiāng xìn dì 。
也着实令人难以相信地。
It took half a cup of tea before a voice like a golden thrush emerged from the mists and silenced all doubts: "Sister Yutong, are you saying that the Ten Thousand Serpent King truly conspired with the域外天魔 and was slain by you?"
kě ruò shuō shì wán xiào zhī yǔ ， lǐ yǔ tóng shì chū le míng de xìng gé gū pì ， hé kuàng kāi wán xiào yě méi yǒu zhè yàng kāi de dào lǐ 。
可若说是玩笑之语，李雨桐是出了名的性格孤僻，何况开玩笑也没有这样开的道理。
The cultivators turned to look at this voice. The title was outrageous.
yī shí jiān zhòng xiū shì jiāng xìn jiāng yí ， gǔ zào zhī shēng dà qǐ 。
一时间众修士将信将疑，鼓噪之声大起。
Li Yutong's power was unparalleled, her personality aloof; few had any dealings with her, let alone called her sister.
dàn hěn kuài yǒu rén fā xiàn ， wàn jiāo wáng guǒ rán bù zài cǐ dì 。
但很快有人发现，万蛟王果然不在此地。
In all of the three realms throughout history, no more than five people could claim such a title.
kě jiù suàn rú cǐ ， lǐ yǔ tóng de zhè fān biǎo shù ， yě tài guò jīng shì hài sú ， zhòng rén hái shì yǒu xiē nán yǐ zhì xìn de 。
可就算如此，李雨桐的这番表述，也太过惊世骇俗，众人还是有些难以置信的。
The owner of this voice was shrouded in white mist, even the Spirit Eye Technique couldn't discern her. But just from her silhouette and outline, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
kě huái yí guī huái yí ， hái shì méi yǒu rén gǎn zhì wèn yǔ tóng xiān zi ， tā gāng cái nà yī jiàn tài lí pǔ ， jiāng sān jiè qiáng zhě de dǎn dōu gěi xià pò 。
可怀疑归怀疑，还是没有人敢质问雨桐仙子，她刚才那一剑太离谱，将三界强者的胆都给吓破。
Her identity needed no guessing.
jiù zhè yàng ， zú zú guò le bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， cái zhōng yú yǒu yī shēng yīn rú huáng lí chū gǔ ， jiāng suǒ yǒu zhì yí shēng dōu gěi gài guò ：“ yǔ tóng mèi mèi ， nǐ shuō de kě shì zhēn de ， wàn jiāo wáng dàng zhēn yǔ yù wài tiān mó gōu jié ， yǐ jīng bèi nǐ zhǎn le ？”
就这样，足足过了半盏茶的功夫，才终于有一声音如黄鹂出谷，将所有置疑声都给盖过：“雨桐妹妹，你说的可是真的，万蛟王当真与域外天魔勾结，已经被你斩了？”
Queen of Qingqiu, Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox.
zhòng xiū shì bù yóu de xún shēng huí guò tóu ， zhè chēng hū jiù yǒu xiē lí pǔ 。
众修士不由得循声回过头，这称呼就有些离谱。
She called Li Yutong 'sister' not because she had surpassed her in power but as a member of the demon race, with a longer lifespan than human immortals. Even though everyone now lived forever, she was older than Li Yutong by sheer age.
lǐ yǔ tóng shí lì chāo qún ， xìng gé gū ào ， yǔ tā yǒu jiāo qíng de běn lái jiù shǎo 。
李雨桐实力超群，性格孤傲，与她有交情的本来就少。
Of course, these were minor details that few cared about; what mattered was the question raised by the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox.
gǎn chēng hū tā wèi mèi mèi de jiù gèng fèng máo lín jiǎo 。
敢称呼她为妹妹的就更凤毛麟角。
Everyone waited for Li Yutong to explain, and she didn't dilly-dally, answering confidently: "Yes. Strictly speaking, it wasn't a conspiracy because this Ten Thousand Serpent King had already been possessed by an extraterrestrial demon lord millions of years ago."
Then they witnessed a breathtaking scene.
In the void, light flared up and flashed by. A white hole appeared, several dozen feet in diameter, filled with space energy that made one's heart palpitate.
The power was so formidable; ordinary Spirit Tribulation survivors might be torn to shreds if caught in it. Yet, an exceptionally beautiful woman emerged from within as if strolling leisurely through a garden.
That chaotic space energy seemed to have no effect on her whatsoever, instead adding a sense of majesty to the scene.
