mó yún fān yǒng ， lǐ miàn yǐn yǐn yǒu mó zú jiǎ shì de shēn yǐng fú xiàn ér chū ， huò sān tóu liù bì ， huò qiān mù chì zú ， xíng mào wú bù gǔ guài dào jí chù 。
魔云翻涌，里面隐隐有魔族甲士的身影浮现而出，或三头六臂，或千目赤足，形貌无不古怪到极处。
Dark clouds churned, and within them vaguely appeared the forms of demon warriors—some with three heads and six arms, others with a thousand eyes and red feet. Their appearances were grotesque to an extreme.
yī páng ， guā zào shēng yì shì dà zuò ， nà xiē mó huà hòu de yāo qín ， yǐ jiāng tā men chè dǐ hé wéi diào le 。
一旁，聒噪声亦是大做，那些魔化后的妖禽，已将他们彻底合围掉了。
On one side, the cacophony grew louder as the demonified bird creatures had completely surrounded their opponents.
dí qiáng wǒ ruò ！
敌强我弱！
The enemy was strong while they were weak!
xíng shì wú yí shì hěn yán jùn de 。
形势无疑是很严峻的。
The situation was undoubtedly dire.
nà wéi shǒu lǎo zhě de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī yōu sè ， dàn hěn kuài jiù yǐn nì huà wèi xū wú ， zuò wèi yī jiā zhī zhǔ ， ruò shì tā wèi jù qiè ruò ， nà sī tú jiā de chuán chéng ， jiù zhēn yào duàn jué zài zhè lǐ le 。
那为首老者的脸上闪过一丝忧色，但很快就隐匿化为虚无，做为一家之主，若是他畏惧怯弱，那司徒家的传承，就真要断绝在这里了。
A look of worry flashed across the face of the leading elder, but it quickly vanished into nothingness. As the head of the family, if he showed fear and cowardice, the Su徒家's legacy would truly end here.
wú lùn rú hé ， yě yào pīn sǐ shā chū yī tiáo xuè lù 。
无论如何，也要拼死杀出一条血路。
No matter what, they had to fight their way out at all costs.
jí biàn zì jǐ yǔn luò ， yě yào ràng zú zhōng jǐ gè yōu xiù de hòu bèi táo chū 。
即便自己陨落，也要让族中几个优秀的后辈逃出。
Even if he fell, he must ensure that a few promising young members of his clan could escape.
tā yǔ lìng wài liǎng wèi zhǎng lǎo duì shì yī yǎn ， bǐ cǐ dōu míng bái le xiāng hù xīn lǐ de dǎ suàn 。
他与另外两位长老对视一眼，彼此都明白了相互心里的打算。
He exchanged glances with the other two elders. They understood each other’s intentions.
“ gōng jī ！”
“攻击！”
"Attack!"
bàn suí zhe wéi shǒu lǎo zhě yī shēng dà hē ， tā shǒu zhōng de liǎng jiàn bǎo wù cháo zhe qián fāng yī jì ér chū 。
伴随着为首老者一声大喝，他手中的两件宝物朝着前方一祭而出。
With a loud shout from the leading elder, his two precious items were thrown forward.
rú liú xīng xù yǔ ， cháo zhe qián fāng mó yún hěn hěn zhǎn luò 。
如流星絮羽，朝着前方魔云狠狠斩落。
Like meteors, they slashed through the dark clouds ahead.
lìng wài liǎng wèi zhǎng lǎo yě bù shì ruò ， fēi jiàn yǔ lóng tóu guǎi zhàng zòng héng bǎi hé 。
另外两位长老也不示弱，飞剑与龙头拐杖纵横捭阖。
The other two elders did not hesitate either. Their flying swords and dragon-headed canes moved swiftly.
jiàn sān wèi zú lǎo dòng shǒu ， qí yú dì zǐ jǐn guǎn xīn zhōng tǎn tè ， dàn yě bù gǎn wú dòng yú zhōng ， yǎo yá nǔ lì ， qū dòng shǒu zhōng de bǎo wù pīn mìng gōng jī 。
见三位族老动手，其余弟子尽管心中忐忑，但也不敢无动于衷，咬牙努力，驱动手中的宝物拼命攻击。
Seeing the three clan elders engage, the remaining disciples, despite their anxiety, could not remain idle. They gritted their teeth and fought with all their might to attack their opponents.
yī shí jiān ， shēng shì dào yě xiǎn de hóng dà yǐ jí 。
一时间，声势倒也显得宏大以极。
The scene was momentarily grand in its intensity.
“ gā gā gā ， zhēn shì bù zhī sǐ huó ！”
“嘎嘎嘎，真是不知死活！”
"Gag, gag, really don't know when to die!"
mó yún zhōng ， yī zhèn guài xiào chuán chū ， suí hòu mó yīn dà zuò ， yī dào dào guǐ yì de hēi máng cóng lǐ miàn fān yǒng pēn bó 。
魔云中，一阵怪笑传出，随后魔音大做，一道道诡异的黑芒从里面翻涌喷薄。
A strange laughter echoed from within the dark clouds, followed by a loud demonic sound. Strange black rays burst forth.
zǐ xì kàn ， què shì yī jiàn jiàn qí xíng guài zhuàng de bǎo wù 。
仔细看，却是一件件奇形怪状的宝物。
Closer inspection revealed that these were various bizarre and unusual treasures.
bāo guǒ zhe huì àn de mó qì ， yǔ zhòng xiū shì jì chū de fǎ bǎo zhuàng zài le yì qǐ 。
包裹着晦暗的魔气，与众修士祭出的法宝撞在了一起。
Wrapped in dark demon energy, they clashed with the法宝s of the human cultivators.
dùn shí bào liè shēng dà zuò ， yuán qì gǔn gǔn fān yǒng ér chū 。 tiān sè xiǎn de yuè fā hūn àn le 。
顿时爆裂声大做，元气滚滚翻涌而出。天色显得越发昏暗了。
The air was filled with explosions as primordial energy surged out. The sky grew even darker.
nà xiē mó huà hòu de yāo qín yě méi yǒu xián zhe ， cóng kǒu zhōng pēn chū gǔn gǔn de mó qì ， yě jiā rù dào le gōng jī 。
那些魔化后的妖禽也没有闲着，从口中喷出滚滚的魔气，也加入到了攻击。
The demonified bird creatures also did not idle. They spat out waves of demon energy from their mouths and joined the attack.
cǎn jiào shēng dà zuò 。 jǐn jǐn liǎng sān gè zhào miàn de gōng fu ， rén zú xiū shì jiù bài xiàng yǐ lù ， bìng yǒu hǎo jǐ gè dǎo méi de jiā huo yǔn luò diào le 。
惨叫声大做。仅仅两三个罩面的功夫，人族修士就败象已露，并有好几个倒霉的家伙陨落掉了。
Cries of pain echoed. In just a few moments, the human cultivators showed signs of defeat, with several unfortunate souls falling.
zhè bù xī qí ， tiān wài mó tóu de shí lì běn lái jiù fēi xún cháng xiū shì kě bǐ ， rú jīn rén shù yòu duō ， hái yǒu yāo qín de bāng zhù 。
这不稀奇，天外魔头的实力本来就非寻常修士可比，如今人数又多，还有妖禽的帮助。
This was not surprising; the strength of these extraterrestrial demons far surpassed ordinary cultivators, especially now that they were in greater numbers and had the assistance of demon birds.
zhè yī zhàn ， yuán běn jiù sī háo xuán niàn yě wú 。
这一战，原本就丝毫悬念也无。
The battle itself held no suspense from the start.
guān jiàn diǎn zài yú 。 tā men néng bù néng shā chū yī tiáo xuè lù ， zuì zhōng ， yòu yǒu jǐ rén néng gòu táo tuō 。
关键点在于。他们能不能杀出一条血路，最终，又有几人能够逃脱。
The key lay in whether they could break through and how many could escape.
xī shēng zài suǒ nán miǎn 。 dàn zhǐ yǒu néng gòu huàn qǔ jiā zú de chuán chéng yě jiù zhí de 。
牺牲在所难免。但只有能够换取家族的传承也就值得。
Sacrifices were inevitable. But it was worth it if it ensured the continuation of their clan’s legacy.
yòu guò piàn kè 。
又过片刻。
After a moment, the continuous explosions still echoed. Suddenly, a desperate and angry cry emerged: "Dust... no..."
hōng lōng lóng de bào liè shēng hái zài bù tíng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tū rán ， lǐ miàn què jiā zá qǐ le yī shēng jué wàng de bào nù ：“ chén ér ， bù ……”
轰隆隆的爆裂声还在不停传入耳朵，突然，里面却夹杂起了一声绝望的暴怒：“尘儿，不……”
It was the leading elder—also Su徒尘's grandfather—who cried out in despair. His voice contained boundless sorrow and anger.
cǎn jiào de shì nà wéi shǒu lǎo zhě 。 yì shì sī tú chén de zǔ fù 。 shēng yīn zhōng bāo hán zhe wú jìn de bēi nù 。
惨叫的是那为首老者。亦是司徒尘的祖父。声音中包含着无尽的悲怒。
Just moments ago, Su徒尘 had been beheaded before his eyes, with even his essence soul failing to escape.
jiù zài gāng cái ， sī tú chén zài tā yǎn qián bèi qǔ xià le tóu lú ， lián yuán yīng dōu méi yǒu táo tuō 。
就在刚才，司徒尘在他眼前被取下了头颅，连元婴都没有逃脱。
Not only was Dust his grandson, but he was also one of the most promising young members of the clan. Without the demon calamity, he might have led the Su徒家 into a new realm.
yào zhī dào ， chén ér bù jǐn jǐn shì tā de qīn sūn ér ， yì shì sī tú jiā hòu bèi zhōng zuì yǒu qián lì de yí gè 。
要知道，尘儿不仅仅是他的亲孙儿，亦是司徒家后辈中最有潜力的一个。
But now, everything was lost.
rú guǒ bú shì mó jié ， tā jí yǒu kě néng jiāng sī tú jiā dài shàng yí gè xīn de jìng jiè 。
如果不是魔劫，他极有可能将司徒家带上一个新的境界。
All ambitions and hopes had turned to mirages in an instant.
kě rú jīn ， yī qiè dōu wán le 。
可如今，一切都完了。
Living or dying mattered not; watching his grandson fall before him while unable to protect him, as the clan’s prodigy perished, and as the family head could only stand by helplessly—what use was life?
suǒ yǒu de yě xīn ， bào fù 。 zài zhè yī kè ， dōu chéng jìng huā shuǐ yuè le 。
所有的野心，抱负。在这一刻，都成镜花水月了。
Frustration and despair were evident on their faces. The enemy seemed to have the upper hand, clearly enjoying this game.
huó xià lái yòu rú hé 。 sūn ér zài yǎn qián yǔn luò ， zì jǐ zhè zuò yé yé de ， què méi yǒu néng lì jiāng tā bǎo hù ， jiā zú de tiān cái yāo zhé ， zuò wèi jiā zhǔ ， zì jǐ què zhǐ néng zài yī páng kàn zhe 。
活下来又如何。孙儿在眼前陨落，自己这做爷爷的，却没有能力将他保护，家族的天才夭折，做为家主，自己却只能在一旁看着。
Could it be that Su徒家 would truly perish here in this calamity?
wú néng ！
无能！
Their hearts ached, but it mattered not; in the end, strength spoke louder than anything else in cultivation.
huò zhě shuō yú chǔn 。
或者说愚蠢。
As the situation grew more perilous and despair spread among the cultivators, an unexpected sound filled their ears: "Boom!"
wéi shǒu lǎo zhě xīn rú sǐ huī ， yǐ jué de liǎo wú shēng qù ， jì méng sǐ zhì ， dòng shǒu zài méi yǒu fēn háo gù jì ， cǎi yòng yǐ xuè huàn xiě ， yǐ mìng bó mìng de dǎ fǎ 。
为首老者心如死灰，已觉得了无生趣，既萌死志，动手再没有分毫顾忌，采用以血换血，以命搏命的打法。
Then, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
sú huà shuō ， luàn quán dǎ sǐ lǎo shī fù 。
俗话说，乱拳打死老师傅。
The previously dark sky suddenly brightened. The light was blinding, akin to a sun blazing overhead.
wāi dǎ zhèng zháo ， tā zhè yī fān pīn mìng bó shā ， jū rán hái zhēn mò míng qí miào de shā chū le yī tiáo xuè lù 。
歪打正着，他这一番拼命搏杀，居然还真莫名其妙的杀出了一条血路。
This strange spectacle alarmed both parties. Domain demons and Su徒家’s cultivators alike were stunned as they looked up.
wéi shǒu lǎo zhě dà xǐ 。
为首老者大喜。
The anomaly did not disappear.
dùn shí yě huī fù le lǐ zhì ， chén ér suī rán yǔn luò ， dàn xī wàng zì jǐ què shì bù kě yǐ fàng qì de 。
顿时也恢复了理智，尘儿虽然陨落，但希望自己却是不可以放弃的。
After the light faded, it quickly turned pitch black again, with no visibility in any direction.
wú lùn rú hé ， yě bù kě yǐ ràng sī tú jiā de chuán chéng duàn jué yú cǐ chù 。
无论如何，也不可以让司徒家的传承断绝于此处。
Silence reigned around them.
huī fù lǐ zhì de tā bù zài máng mù luàn dǎ ， ér shì yǎn hù zhòng rén chè zǒu ， zhì yú tā ， zé yǔ lìng wài liǎng míng zhǎng lǎo yì qǐ duàn hòu yǎn hù 。
恢复理智的他不再盲目乱打，而是掩护众人撤走，至于他，则与另外两名长老一起断后掩护。
Then, the light flickered back on.
shuāng fāng zài bàn kōng zhōng hù xiāng zhuī zhú 。
双方在半空中互相追逐。
This cycle repeated three times.
páng biān de mó qín yì shì jǐn zhuī bù shě 。
旁边的魔禽亦是紧追不舍。
Moreover, the surrounding primordial energy became bizarre. It seemed to be responding to some call, converging from all directions—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—all rushing towards this point.
suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí 。
随着时间的推移。
Such an anomaly had never been seen by any cultivator or demon before. In shock, they no longer cared about fighting.
rén zú zhè biān de qíng kuàng yuè fā bù lì 。
人族这边的情况越发不利。
Regardless of their cultivation levels, a warning flashed in their minds, urging the cultivators to leave quickly.
bì jìng shuāng fāng shí lì xiāng chà xuán shū ， jiù suàn yǒu rén duàn hòu yě bú huì yǒu tài dà yòng chǔ 。
毕竟双方实力相差悬殊，就算有人断后也不会有太大用处。
However, over time, none did so.
ér zhè xiē tiān wài mó tóu yòng xīn xiǎn è ， jiāng sān míng sī tú jiā de zhǎng lǎo wéi ér bù shā ， fǎn dào shì tā men suǒ yǎn hù de hòu bèi zhī zhōng ， bù tíng yǒu rén yǔn luò 。
而这些天外魔头用心险恶，将三名司徒家的长老围而不杀，反倒是他们所掩护的后辈之中，不停有人陨落。
They could not; some unseen force bound them, rendering them immobile. Escape was out of the question.
sān rén yòu jīng yòu nù ， què zěn me yě chōng bù chū qù 。
三人又惊又怒，却怎么也冲不出去。
They could only wait passively.
fèn nù zhī yú ， yí gè gè liǎn shàng dōu lù chū le jué wàng zhī yì 。
愤怒之余，一个个脸上都露出了绝望之意。
Despite knowing this wasn't a better choice, they were helpless before that mysterious power.
duì fāng xiǎn de shì yóu rèn yǒu yú ， xiǎn rán xīn cún xì shuǎ zhī yì ， nán dào shuō ， zhè yī cì ， sī tú jiā zhēn yào quán jūn fù mò yú zhè lǐ ？
对方显得是游刃有余，显然心存戏耍之意，难道说，这一次，司徒家真要全军覆没于这里？
Too weak, both cultivators and demons felt like ants in comparison at that moment.
xīn zhōng bēi āi yǐ jí ， kě què yú shì wú bǔ ， xiū xiān jiè guī gēn jié dǐ ， hái shì yǐ shí lì shuō huà dì ， qí yú de dōng xī jiē bù zhí yī tí 。
心中悲哀以极，可却于事无补，修仙界归根结底，还是以实力说话地，其余的东西皆不值一提。
Time seemed to move slowly during such moments.
jiù zài xíng shì yuè fā xiǎn è ， zhòng xiū shì dōu yào jué wàng de shí hòu ， sī háo zhēng zhào yě wú ，“ hōng lōng ” yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu bù kě sī yì de yí mù chū xiàn le 。
就在形势越发险恶，众修士都要绝望的时候，丝毫征兆也无，“轰隆”一声巨响传入耳朵，随后不可思议的一幕出现了。
After an indeterminate amount of time, the sky suddenly turned black and white, with these colors continuously flowing.
yuán běn hūn àn de tiān sè ， tū rán biàn dé míng liàng qǐ lái le 。
原本昏暗的天色，突然变得明亮起来了。
From afar, it resembled a Taiji symbol.
liàng guāng yào mù wú bǐ ， jiù yǔ liè rì dāng kōng xiāng sì 。
亮光耀目无比，就与烈日当空相似。
Then, "Sizzle" sounded. At the intersection of black and white, something inexplicably split apart.
rú cǐ qí jǐng ， gǔ guài guǐ yì ， zì rán ràng shuāng fāng yī jīng 。
如此奇景，古怪诡异，自然让双方一惊。
Electric sparks flew!
bù lùn shì yù wài tiān mó ， hái shì sī tú jiā de xiū shì ， yí gè gè ， liǎn sè dōu chà yì yǐ jí ， yǎng tóu wàng le guò qù 。
不论是域外天魔，还是司徒家的修士，一个个，脸色都诧异以极，仰头望了过去。
A crack formed, expanding outward in all directions until it became a half-circle.
yì xiàng bìng méi yǒu xiāo shī 。
异象并没有消失。
"It's an interface channel... no, it should be a spatial vortex. Who crossed over?"
zài liàng guāng guò hòu ， hěn kuài yòu biàn dé qī hēi wú bǐ ， shēn shǒu bù jiàn wǔ zhǐ 。
在亮光过后，很快又变得漆黑无比，伸手不见五指。
(
Dark clouds churned, and within them vaguely appeared the forms of demon warriors—some with three heads and six arms, others with a thousand eyes and red feet. Their appearances were grotesque to an extreme.
