qiān jūn yī fà !
千钧一发!
On the brink of disaster!
yǎn jiàn dà zhàn yǐ shì yī chù jí fā , què zài guān jiàn shí kè chū xiàn zhè yàng de biàn gù , bù lùn lín xuān , hái shì yuán shì fū qī , liǎn shàng dōu lù chū jí wéi chà rán de shén sè 。
眼见大战已是一触即发,却在关键时刻出现这样的变故,不论林轩,还是元氏夫妻,脸上都露出极为诧然的神色。
Seeing that a major battle was about to erupt, and yet such an unexpected turn of events occurred at this critical moment, Lin Xuan and the Yuan couple exchanged looks of astonishment.
sān rén bù yuē ér tóng de duì shì yī yǎn , jiē tíng xià le shǒu lǐ de dòng zuò 。
三人不约而同的对视一眼,皆停下了手里的动作。
The three of them paused their actions, each silently putting away their animosity. They wanted to avoid becoming pawns in someone else's game.
lái zhě de shí lì bù róng qīng wǔ , tā men kě bù xiǎng hé bàng xiāng zhēng , ràng lái zhě yú wēng dé lì 。
来者的实力不容轻侮,他们可不想河蚌相争,让来者渔翁得利。
Rumbling explosions continued to reach their ears as a fiery cloud rapidly approached from the horizon. At the top of this fiery cloud, a figure was seated cross-legged.
yú shì gè zì àn xià xīn zhōng de dí yì , xiān kàn kàn qíng kuàng , zài zuò dìng duó 。
于是各自暗下心中的敌意,先看看情况,再做定夺。
Three long strands of beard adorned his face, and he had an odd yet clear appearance. He wore Daoist robes and carried a long sword on his back.
hōng lōng lóng de bào liè shēng bù tíng chuán rù ěr duǒ , nà tiān biān de huǒ yún , xùn sù yì cháng de màn yán guò lái le 。
轰隆隆的爆裂声不停传入耳朵,那天边的火云,迅速异常的蔓延过来了。
Lin Xuan's pupils involuntarily constricted at the sight. It was well-known that cultivators' weapons were stored in storage bags; this person carrying a longsword indicated something significant about the power of this item.
ér zài huǒ yún de dǐng duān , yǒu yī rén pán xī ér zuò 。
而在火云的顶端,有一人盘膝而坐。
With his mind reeling, Lin Xuan extended his spirit sense towards the figure.
sān lǚ zhǎng xū , róng mào qīng qí , shēn chuān dào páo , bèi shàng hái bèi zhe yī bǐng cháng jiàn 。
三缕长须,容貌清奇,身穿道袍,背上还背着一柄长剑。
Advanced Tribulation!
kàn dào zhè yí mù , lín xuān bù yóu de tóng kǒng wēi suō 。
看到这一幕,林轩不由得瞳孔微缩。
Lin Xuan's face showed surprise. He almost thought he had misjudged the situation.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī , xiū xiān zhě de bīng qì bǎo wù , dōu shì fàng zài chǔ wù dài lǐ de , duì fāng bèi xuán cháng jiàn , xiǎn rán shì yǒu yuán gù , cǐ bǎo de wēi lì , shí yǒu ** fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
众所周知,修仙者的兵器宝物,都是放在储物袋里的,对方背悬长剑,显然是有缘故,此宝的威力,十有**非同小可。
He quickly sent out his spirit sense again and carefully scanned the other person. The result was the same: it was undoubtedly an Advanced Tribulation cultivator.
xīn zhōng jīng yí , lín xuān què jiāng shén shí cháo zhe duì fāng yī fàng ér qù 。
心中惊疑,林轩却将神识朝着对方一放而去。
But how could this be?
dù jié zhōng qī !
渡劫中期!
The saying goes, "the virtuous do not come uninvited; those who come are not virtuous." This figure had clearly seen three Advanced Tribulation cultivators facing off here and should have known better than to intrude without support.
lín xuān liǎn shàng bù yóu de lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì , jī hū yǐ wéi zì jǐ gǎn yìng chū cuò 。
林轩脸上不由得露出几分诧异,几乎以为自己感应出错。
Despite his close proximity, Lin Xuan's spirit sense would reveal no hidden power. Yet something about this mere Advanced Tribulation cultivator gave him a strange feeling of danger that went beyond what the spirit sense could detect—after countless battles, he had developed an instinctive awareness.
máng chóng xīn jiāng shén shí fàng chū , zài duì fāng shēn shàng zǐ xì sǎo guò , dé chū lái de jié guǒ què yī jiù shì yī yàng de 。
忙重新将神识放出,在对方身上仔细扫过,得出来的结果却依旧是一样的。
This new Daoist seemed far more terrifying than the Yuan couple.
rú jiǎ bāo huàn !
如假包换!
Could it be...
duì fāng bǎi fēn zhī bǎi jiù shì dù jié zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě !
对方百分之百就是渡劫中期的修仙者!
Lin Xuan began to speculate.
zhǐ shì zhè zěn me kě néng ne ?
只是这怎么可能呢?
The dark-skinned man's face changed dramatically after looking at the Daoist. "You—you! How did you get here?"
sú huà shuō shàn zhě bù lái , lái zhě bù shàn , duì fāng yòu fēi yǎn xiā , míng míng kàn jiàn zhè ér yǒu sān míng dù jié hòu qī de cún zài duì zhì , rú wú yǐ zhàng , zěn me gǎn lái tāng zhè hún shuǐ ne ?
俗话说善者不来,来者不善,对方又非眼瞎,明明看见这儿有三名渡劫后期的存在对峙,如无倚仗,怎么敢来蹚这浑水呢?
His expression was panicked and tinged with fear, indicating that he recognized this Daoist and felt a certain trepidation.
lín xuān xīn zhōng chà yì , yào zhī dào zhè me jìn de jù lí , yǐ tā de shén shí qiáng dù , duì fāng jué wú fēn háo yǐn cáng xiū wèi kě néng de 。
林轩心中诧异,要知道这么近的距离,以他的神识强度,对方绝无分毫隐藏修为可能的。
"Oh, so it is the Yuan couple. Truly, one cannot help but be amazed by such coincidences. If honored couples can come here, why not me?" The Daoist appeared calm and courteous, smiling slightly.
ér gèng gǔ guài de shì , qū qū yī míng dù jié zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě , jū rán gěi tā yī zhǒng mò míng wēi xiǎn de gǎn chù 。
而更古怪的是,区区一名渡劫中期的修仙者,居然给他一种莫名危险的感触。
"Unfortunately, our purposes are likely similar. What shall we do about this?"
zhè bìng fēi shén shí dé chū lái de jié guǒ 。
这并非神识得出来的结果。
The Daoist's casual voice echoed in his ears. The dark-skinned man's face turned even more grim.
ér shì jīng lì wú shù xīng fēng xuè yǔ zhī hòu , mó lì chū lái de běn néng 。
而是经历无数腥风血雨之后,磨砺出来的本能。
His eyes flashed with a sinister light. But he did not hesitate long before lifting his head. A look of reluctance flickered across his eyes, quickly vanishing: "Since the True Man has arrived here, my humble couple can only retreat. We shall meet again..."
zhè xīn lái de dào rén , gěi tā de gǎn jué 。 bǐ nà dù jié hòu qī de yuán shì fū fù , hái yào kě pà xǔ duō 。
这新来的道人,给他的感觉。比那渡劫后期的元氏夫妇,还要可怕许多。
"Brother..."
nán dào shuō ……
难道说……
The alluring woman's face showed both surprise and dissatisfaction. While this Daoist was indeed peculiar, he was merely an Advanced Tribulation cultivator; what could he do?
lín xuān xīn zhōng kāi shǐ le chuǎi mó 。
林轩心中开始了揣摩。
"Little Ling, let's go..."
ér nà yǒu hēi nán zi zài kàn le dào rén yī yǎn zhī hòu , què liǎn sè dà biàn le :“ nǐ , shì nǐ , nǐ zěn me dào zhè lǐ lái le ?”
而那黝黑男子在看了道人一眼之后,却脸色大变了:“你,是你,你怎么到这里来了?”
Without waiting for his partner to finish speaking, the dark-skinned man grabbed her hand. His body glowed brightly as he transformed into a streak of light that broke through the air towards the fiery cloud.
tā biǎo qíng huāng zhāng , yǐn yǐn hái dài zhe jǐ fēn wèi jù , xiǎn rán shì rèn de cǐ dào rén dì , ér qiě hái wú fǎ yǎn shì de lù chū le jǐ fēn jì dàn zhī yì 。
他表情慌张,隐隐还带着几分畏惧,显然是认得此道人地,而且还无法掩饰的露出了几分忌惮之意。
His hurried departure seemed to indicate an intense fear of this strange Daoist.
“ ó , yuán lái shì yuán shì fū fù , zhēn shì wú qiǎo bù chéng shū 。 xián fū fù néng lái cǐ chù , pín dào yòu yǒu shén me bù kě yǐ ne ?”
“哦,原来是元氏夫妇,真是无巧不成书。贤夫妇能来此处,贫道又有什么不可以呢?”
This scene did not escape Lin Xuan's notice; he showed clear signs of contemplation on his face.
nà dào rén dǎo shì xiǎn de wēn rùn yǒu lǐ , zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū jǐ fēn xiào yì :“ zhǐ shì bù qiǎo dé hěn , pín dào lái zhè lǐ de mù dì , shí yǒu ** yǔ xián fū fù xiāng chà fǎng fú , zhè zěn me bàn ne ……”
那道人倒是显得温润有礼,嘴角边露出几分笑意:“只是不巧得很,贫道来这里的目的,十有**与贤夫妇相差仿佛,这怎么办呢……”
"Hmph, that old monster knows when to retreat." The Daoist raised his head and looked at Lin Xuan with a more piercing expression. "So, friend Daoist, will you willingly hand over your treasures or will I have to take them from your corpse?"
dào rén fǎng fú yún dàn fēng qīng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , miàn róng yǒu hēi de nán zi tīng le , liǎn sè què shì dà biàn le 。
道人仿佛云淡风轻的声音传入耳朵,面容黝黑的男子听了,脸色却是大变了。
"Arrogant talk! You are no more than an Advanced Tribulation cultivator yourself. Although I do not know what abilities you possess that frightened the Yuan couple away, it would be foolish to think everyone is as cowardly as they."
yīn mái yǐ jí !
阴霾以极!
Lin Xuan's face showed a hint of mockery.
yǎn zhōng yě yǒu yì guāng shǎn shuò bù yǐ 。
眼中也有异光闪烁不已。
"Oh, so you plan to challenge me instead? Heaven has good intentions; I was planning to give you a chance. But since you have chosen this path, although I am reluctant, I must change my mind."
dàn tā bìng méi yǒu yóu yù duō jiǔ de gōng fu , hěn kuài jiù tái qǐ tóu lú 。 yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī bù gān zhī sè , dàn hěn kuài yòu yǐn qù le :“ jì rán zhēn rén dào le cǐ chù , nà yú fū fù zhǐ yǒu tuì ràng le , hòu huì yǒu qī ……”
但他并没有犹豫多久的功夫,很快就抬起头颅。眼中闪过一丝不甘之色,但很快又隐去了:“既然真人到了此处,那愚夫妇只有退让了,后会有期……”
"Exactly, Lin believes we share the same idea—let us see how powerful your abilities are."
“ dà gē ……”
“大哥……”
Lin Xuan said calmly.
nà jiāo mèi nǚ zǐ tīng le 。 liǎn shàng yòu shì chà rán , yòu shì bù mǎn , zhè dào rén suī rán yǒu xiē gǔ guài , dàn zuǒ yòu bù guò dù jié zhōng qī ér yǐ 。 pà tā hé lái 。
那娇媚女子听了。脸上又是诧然,又是不满,这道人虽然有些古怪,但左右不过渡劫中期而已。怕他何来。
Since he embarked on his cultivation journey, countless wonders and challenges had become routine. Facing a cultivator of lower rank was nothing to fear.
“ líng mèi , zǒu ……”
“玲妹,走……”
Even if this opponent was strange, Lin Xuan held more trump cards in his hands.
yǒu hēi nán zi bù děng bàn lǚ shuō wán , biàn yī lā tā de shǒu 。 tóng shí hún shēn guāng máng dà zuò , huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng jiāng qí yī guǒ , pò kōng xiàng tiān biān fēi zǒu le 。
黝黑男子不等伴侣说完,便一拉她的手。同时浑身光芒大做,化为一道惊虹将其一裹,破空像天边飞走了。
The atmosphere grew tense as the two sides exuded an undercurrent of killing intent.
kàn tā zǒu dé cōng máng , jìng shì pà jí le nà gǔ guài de dào rén yī yàng 。
看他走得匆忙,竟似怕极了那古怪的道人一样。
...
zhè yí mù , luò zài lín xuān de yǎn lǐ , liǎn shàng zì rán háo bù yǎn shì de lù chū jǐ fēn sī suǒ zhī yì 。
这一幕,落在林轩的眼里,脸上自然毫不掩饰的露出几分思索之意。
On the other side, inside a crimson streak of light, a man and woman were conversing.
“ hēng , nà lǎo guài wù , dào yě shí xiàng 。” dào rén tái qǐ tóu lú , wàng xiàng lín xuān de biǎo qíng zé duō le jǐ fēn líng lì zhī sè :“ rú hé , dào yǒu shì zì yuàn jiāng shǒu zhōng de bǎo wù jiāo chū , hái shì yī huì er , ràng wǒ cóng nǐ shī tǐ shàng zhǎo ne ?”
“哼,那老怪物,倒也识相。”道人抬起头颅,望向林轩的表情则多了几分凌厉之色:“如何,道友是自愿将手中的宝物交出,还是一会儿,让我从你尸体上找呢?”
"Why are you acting like this, brother? The other party is merely an Advanced Tribulation cultivator. You're acting as if you’re afraid of a snake or scorpion, retreating so quickly; it's quite amusing."
“ dà yán bù cán , gé xià yě bù guò dù jié zhōng qī ér yǐ , suī rán lín mǒu bìng bù xiǎo de , nǐ yǒu shén me běn shì jīng zǒu nà yuán shì fū qī , dàn bú huì yǐ wéi , suǒ yǒu de rén , dū huì rú tā men yì bān dǎn xiǎo rú shǔ ?”
“大言不惭,阁下也不过渡劫中期而已,虽然林某并不晓得,你有什么本事惊走那元氏夫妻,但不会以为,所有的人,都会如他们一般胆小如鼠?”
The alluring woman spoke, but her face was now filled with a sinister expression, clearly displeased with her partner’s decision.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn jī cháo zhī sè 。
林轩的脸上露出几分讥嘲之色。
"My dear Ling, you misunderstand me. We have been married for many years, and I've never seen you as timid. This Daoist is someone we cannot afford to offend," the dark-skinned man sighed, his face full of wryness.
“ ó , zhè me shuō , gé xià shì zhǔn bèi jìng jiǔ bù chī chī fá jiǔ le , shàng tiān yǒu hào shēng zhī dé , yuán běn pín dào hái dǎ suàn wǎng kāi yí miàn , fàng dào yǒu yī tiáo shēng lù , gé xià jì rán zuò chū zhè yàng de xuǎn zé , wǒ suī rán yú xīn bù rěn , yě wéi yǒu gǎi biàn zhǔ yì le 。”
“哦,这么说,阁下是准备敬酒不吃吃罚酒了,上天有好生之德,原本贫道还打算网开一面,放道友一条生路,阁下既然做出这样的选择,我虽然于心不忍,也唯有改变主意了。”
"What? He's only an Advanced Tribulation cultivator; does he have some powerful backing?" The alluring woman was taken aback, asking in surprise.
“ shì me , zhèng hǎo lín mǒu de xiǎng fǎ yě yǔ dào yǒu bù móu ér hé , xiǎng yào shēn liàng yī xià dào yǒu shén tōng rú hé ?”
“是么,正好林某的想法也与道友不谋而合,想要伸量一下道友神通如何?”
"No, this Daoist is just a wandering cultivator."
lín xuān dàn dàn de shuō 。
林轩淡淡的说。
"Why then...?"
zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù , tā suǒ jīng lì de qí yù shǔ bù shèng shǔ , biàn shì yuè jí tiǎo zhàn , yě zǎo rú jiā cháng biàn fàn , miàn duì jìng jiè bǐ zì jǐ hái dī yī chóu de xiū xiān zhě , zì rán méi yǒu bì yào hài pà shén me 。
自从踏上修仙之路,他所经历的奇遇数不胜数,便是越级挑战,也早如家常便饭,面对境界比自己还低一筹的修仙者,自然没有必要害怕什么。
"Because he is a domain powerhouse."
nǎ pà duì fāng yǒu gǔ guài , dàn lín xuān shǒu lǐ , yǒu zhe gèng duō de dǐ pái 。
哪怕对方有古怪,但林轩手里,有着更多的底牌。
"What?"
qì fēn biàn dé níng zhì qǐ lái 。
气氛变得凝滞起来。
The alluring woman was shocked. "He’s clearly only an Advanced Tribulation cultivator..."
shuō yī chù jí fā yǒu xiē tài guò , dàn shuāng fāng de shēn shàng , dōu yǐn yǐn yǒu shā qì mí màn ér chū 。
说一触即发有些太过,但双方的身上,都隐隐有杀气弥漫而出。
"Hmph, who said one cannot comprehend domains at the Advanced Tribulation stage?"
……
……
The dark-skinned man's face showed fear and envy, his expression bizarre: "Indeed, most domain powerhouses are old monsters of late Tribulation, but don't forget that anyone can start contemplating domains from the Advanced Tribulation stage; it’s just extremely difficult. Throughout the three realms, there are few who have achieved this, and this Qing Ling Daoist is one of them."
zài shuō lìng yī biān 。
再说另一边。
"Ah, I see. No wonder brother chose to retreat."
yī tuán xuè hóng sè de jīng hóng lǐ miàn , yǒu yī nán yī nǚ zhèng zài jiāo tán 。
一团血红色的惊虹里面,有一男一女正在交谈。
Understanding the situation, the alluring woman's resentment vanished. She knew the power of domains well—this Advanced Tribulation cultivator was not someone she could match.
“ dà gē , nǐ zhè shì wèi hé , duì fāng bù guò qū qū yī dù jié zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě , nǐ què rú bì shé xiē , jiù zhè me tuì ràng le chū lái , bù xián tài kě xiào 。”
“大哥,你这是为何,对方不过区区一渡劫中期的修仙者,你却如避蛇蝎,就这么退让了出来,不嫌太可笑。”
Retreating was a wise choice; otherwise, they might lose their lives here.
shuō huà de shì nà jiāo mèi nǚ zǐ , zhǐ shì cǐ shí cǐ kè , tā de liǎn shàng , mǎn shì sēn rán de hán yì , míng xiǎn duì bàn lǚ de jué dìng , nà shì bù mǎn yǐ jí 。
说话的是那娇媚女子,只是此时此刻,她的脸上,满是森然的含义,明显对伴侣的决定,那是不满以极。
"But, brother, should we just leave like this?"
On the brink of disaster!
Seeing that a major battle was about to erupt, and yet such an unexpected turn of events occurred at this critical moment, Lin Xuan and the Yuan couple exchanged looks of astonishment.
The three of them paused their actions, each silently putting away their animosity. They wanted to avoid becoming pawns in someone else's game.
