kě pà de wēi lì nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ shuō dé qīng chǔ ， bié shuō tiān dì wàn wù ， fǎng fú lián xū kōng dōu huà wèi jī fěn diào le ， bù ， bù zhǐ rú cǐ ， shèn zhì lián mí màn yú sì zhōu de fǎ zé zhī lì yě wú fǎ miǎn sú ， quán bù bèi zhè kě pà de bào zhà tūn mò 。
可怕的威力难以用言语说得清楚，别说天地万物，仿佛连虚空都化为齑粉掉了，不，不止如此，甚至连弥漫于四周的法则之力也无法免俗，全部被这可怕的爆炸吞没。
The terrifying power was beyond words to describe. Not only did it reduce the entire space into dust, but even the surroundingpower of the law were consumed by this devastating explosion.
lín xuān zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， jīng lì de jiān nán xiǎn zǔ shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， rán ér cǐ kè ， liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de lù chū yī sī hài rán zhī sè 。
林轩自从踏上修仙之路，经历的艰难险阻数不胜数，然而此刻，脸上也不由得露出一丝骇然之色。
Lin Xuan had faced countless hardships since he embarked on his cultivation path, yet a look of shock still appeared on his face at this moment.
tā jīng lì suī fēng ， rán ér zhè yàng de jué shā zhī jú ， què shì dì yī cì qīn yǎn mù dǔ 。
他经历虽丰，然而这样的绝杀之局，却是第一次亲眼目睹。
Though he had experienced much, such an ultimate trap was something he had never witnessed firsthand. If he were in that situation, he would likely not have survived the sudden attack.
ruò shì zì jǐ yì dì ér chǔ ， cù bù jí fáng xià duō bàn shì nán yǐ xìng miǎn de 。
若是自己易地而处，猝不及防下多半是难以幸免的。
Now, he probably lay in pieces!
xiàn zài kǒng pà yǐ fěn shēn suì gǔ ！
现在恐怕已粉身碎骨！
Just thinking about it made him shudder. What blue Star Sea? It was nothing but a huge bait set out for him.
zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， guāng shì xiǎng xiàng ， jiù bù hán ér lì le 。
这样的结果，光是想象，就不寒而栗了。
Fortunately, at the last moment, he realized his mistake and did not rush forward to contest with the opponent. Otherwise...
shén me lán sè xīng hǎi ， gēn běn jiù shì yī jù dà de yòu ěr bǎi zài miàn qián 。
什么蓝色星海，根本就是一巨大的诱饵摆在面前。
Lin Xuan closed his eyes, revealing a look of relief on his face. Since the opponent had laid this ultimate trap here, there would be no treasures hidden in this place.
hái hǎo zì jǐ zài zuì hòu yí kè fān rán xǐng wù ， méi yǒu zhēn de shàng qián yǔ duì fāng zhēng duó ， fǒu zé ……
还好自己在最后一刻幡然醒悟，没有真的上前与对方争夺，否则……
Wasted effort!
lín xuān bì shàng shuāng mù ， liǎn shàng háo bù yǎn shì de yǒu qìng xìng de biǎo qíng lù chū ， duì fāng jì rán zài zhè lǐ bù xià jué shā zhī jú ， nà xiǎn rán bú huì yǒu bǎo wù cáng yú cǐ dì 。
林轩闭上双目，脸上毫不掩饰的有庆幸的表情露出，对方既然在这里布下绝杀之局，那显然不会有宝物藏于此地。
But saying so was an overstatement.
bái máng huó ！
白忙活！
Regardless, he could use this trap to eliminate this strange and powerful enemy, making this trip worthwhile.
bù ， zhè yàng shuō ， yǒu xiē yán zhī tài guò 。
不，这样说，有些言之太过。
With that thought, Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile. As the saying goes, good things come after much trouble. He would just have to start from scratch if necessary; he knew where Moon's whereabouts were.
bù guǎn rú hé ， néng gòu jiè yǎn qián de xiàn jǐng ， miè shā zhè guǐ yì de qiáng dí yǐ shì cǐ xíng bù xū 。
不管如何，能够借眼前的陷阱，灭杀这诡异的强敌已是此行不虚。
Before this thought fully formed in his mind, a piercing roar suddenly entered his ears. Lin Xuan turned around sharply, ready to leave.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān bù yóu de de lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， sú huà shuō ， hǎo shì duō mó ， zì jǐ dà bù liǎo cóng tóu zài lái ， zǒng néng zhǎo dào yuè ér de xià luò 。
想到这里，林轩嘴角边不由得的露出一丝笑意，俗话说，好事多磨，自己大不了从头再来，总能找到月儿的下落。
Had that terrifying power not killed the opponent?
zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， tū rán yī shēng qī lì de hǒu jiào chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yuán běn yǐ jīng zhǔn bèi zhuǎn shēn lí kāi de lín xuān sà rán huí guò tóu lú 。
这个念头尚未转过，突然一声凄厉的吼叫传入耳朵，原本已经准备转身离开的林轩飒然回过头颅。
In front of him was an empty field. To enhance the explosion’s destructive force, whoever had set up this trap spared no effort. The light points exploded within a half-acre radius, ensuring the building was reduced to rubble without harming Lin Xuan.
nán dào zài gāng cái nà kě pà wēi néng de lǒng zhào xià ， duì fāng jū rán méi yǒu sǐ me ？
难道在刚才那可怕威能的笼罩下，对方居然没有死么？
No shattered stones or debris remained.
rù mù suǒ jí 。 shì yī piàn píng dì ， wèi le zēng qiáng nà bào zhà de wēi lì ， shè jì zhè ge xiàn jǐng de rén pǒ fèi le bù shǎo xīn jī ， nà xiē guāng diǎn bào zhà de wēi lì ， bèi jú xiàn zài fāng yuán bàn mǔ zhī dì ， rú cǐ yī lái ， zhěng gè jiàn zhù suī rán bèi yí wèi le píng dì ， lín xuān què bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ shòu dào yāng jí 。
入目所及。是一片平地，为了增强那爆炸的威力，设计这个陷阱的人颇费了不少心机，那些光点爆炸的威力，被局限在方圆半亩之地，如此一来，整个建筑虽然被夷为了平地，林轩却并没有因此受到殃及。
The structure seemed to have vanished entirely, leaving nothing but a deep pit in sight.
méi yǒu suì shí wǎ lì 。
没有碎石瓦砾。
But what caught his attention wasn't that.
yǎn qián de jiàn zhù ， fǎng fú cóng yuán dì xiāo shī 。
眼前的建筑，仿佛从原地消失。
What worried him was the enemy's condition. Had it perished?
sī háo yě kàn bú dào céng jīng cún liú de hén jì ， wéi yī de biàn huà biàn shì yī shēn bú jiàn dǐ de dà kēng chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
丝毫也看不到曾经存留的痕迹，唯一的变化便是一深不见底的大坑出现在了视线里。
If the opponent were still alive, Lin Xuan wouldn’t mind finishing the job with another strike.
rán ér lín xuān zhù yì de zì rán bú shì zhè ge 。
然而林轩注意的自然不是这个。
Roar!
ràng tā guà xīn de shì nà qiáng dí jiū jìng zěn me yàng le ？
让他挂心的是那强敌究竟怎么样了？
A roar filled with endless resentment echoed. Then Lin Xuan saw a shocking scene.
shì fǒu yǔn luò 。
是否陨落。
In the pit, everything lay in ruins. The mysterious and powerful foe hadn't vanished into thin air; it was merely half its body left, one arm and leg missing.
ruò shì duì fāng yī jiù huó zhe 。 lín xuān bù jiè yì luò jǐng xià shí 。 gěi tā lái yī jì bǔ dāo shén me 。
若是对方依旧活着。林轩不介意落井下石。给他来一记补刀什么。
The wound was horrifying, yet no blood flowed from it. In the ancient demon's eyes, there was boundless hatred.
hǒu ！
吼！
He had thought he would finally get his desired treasure, but now, this was the result. That old monster truly had a heart of stone.
páo xiāo shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lǐ miàn jiā zá zhe wú jìn de yuàn dú ， suí hòu lín xuān jiù kàn jiàn le chù mù jīng xīn de yí mù 。
咆哮声传入耳朵，里面夹杂着无尽的怨毒，随后林轩就看见了触目惊心的一幕。
If not for his timely sacrifice of hislife treasure, relying on the divine treasures in hisimmortal dwelling to withstand most of the blast’s power, he would have suffered far worse than just severe injuries.
zhǐ jiàn nà dà kēng zhōng yī piàn láng jí ， nà shén mì de qiáng dí guǒ rán méi yǒu huī fēi yān miè le qù 。 rán ér yě zhǐ shèng xià le bàn piàn shēn tǐ 。 yī shǒu yī zú 。 jiē bù yì ér fēi le 。
只见那大坑中一片狼藉，那神秘的强敌果然没有灰飞烟灭了去。然而也只剩下了半片身体。一手一足。皆不翼而飞了。
Thinking about that moment made the ancient demon shudder with fear.
shāng kǒu jí wéi kě bù ， piān piān què méi yǒu yī sī yī háo de xiān xuè liú tǎng ér chū ， xuán gǔ de yǎn zhōng mǎn shì wú jìn de yuàn dú 。
伤口极为可怖，偏偏却没有一丝一毫的鲜血流淌而出，玄古的眼中满是无尽的怨毒。
But misfortune never comes alone. Before he could recover from this shock, a warning sign flashed behind him. The ancient demon swiftly moved out of harm's way.
yuán běn yǐ wéi qǔ dào le mèng mèi yǐ qiú de bǎo wù 。 méi xiǎng dào zuì hòu ， què shì zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， nà lǎo guài wù ， xīn sī guǒ rán hěn dú 。
原本以为取到了梦寐以求的宝物。没想到最后，却是这样的结果，那老怪物，心思果然狠毒。
Simultaneously, a sharp sword light sliced through where he had been standing moments ago.
ruò bú shì zì jǐ guān jiàn shí kè ， guǒ duàn shě qì le běn mìng bǎo wù ， kào zhe xiān fǔ qí zhēn de shén tōng ， dǐ dǎng le bào zhà dà bàn de wēi lì ， xiàn zài suǒ luò de de ， jiù jué bù jǐn jǐn shì zhòng shāng de jié jú 。
若不是自己关键时刻，果断舍弃了本命宝物，靠着仙府奇珍的神通，抵挡了爆炸大半的威力，现在所落得的，就绝不仅仅是重伤的结局。
Close and deadly.
xiǎng xiǎng nà shùn jiān de jīng lì ， xuán gǔ jiù jué de xīn yǒu yú jì 。
想想那瞬间的经历，玄古就觉得心有余悸。
He was lucky to have avoided decapitation.
rán ér wū lòu piān féng lián yè yǔ ， tā zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， bèi hòu jiù yǒu jǐng zhào zhòu qǐ ， xuán gǔ shàng rén yě shì shēn jīng bǎi zhàn dì ， xiǎng yě bù xiǎng de shēn xíng yí gè nuó yí ， jiù píng kōng lí kāi le yuán dì 。
然而屋漏偏逢连夜雨，他这个念头尚未转过，背后就有警兆骤起，玄古上人也是身经百战地，想也不想的身形一个挪移，就凭空离开了原地。
"Is it you!"
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， yī dào xī lì de jiàn guāng cóng tā gāng cái suǒ xuán fú de dì fāng zhǎn guò 。
与此同时，一道犀利的剑光从他刚才所悬浮的地方斩过。
Recognizing Lin Xuan’s face, the ancient demon’s eyes flashed with intense hatred. He had never liked Lin Xuan, and now seeing his current state made him even angrier, transferring that resentment onto Lin Xuan.
jì zhǔn qiě hěn 。
既准且狠。
"You little brat, are you pleased? I will tear your soul and refine it!"
hǎo xiǎn tā jiù shēn shǒu fēn lí 。
好险他就身首分离。
With a snarl, he unleashed a torrent of vicious energy towards Lin Xuan.
“ shì nǐ ！”
“是你！”
Seeing this, Lin Xuan was not alarmed but delighted. He flicked his sleeve, releasing a thin, ethereal sword that glowed brightly as he pointed at the enemy with a finger, igniting flames of five colors.
xuán gǔ shàng rén kàn qīng chǔ lín xuān de róng yán ， zhè cái xiǎng qǐ gāng gāng nà yǔ zì jǐ zhēng duó bǎo wù de xiǎo zi ， móu dǐ shǎn guò yī sī shēn qiè de hèn yì 。
玄古上人看清楚林轩的容颜，这才想起刚刚那与自己争夺宝物的小子，眸底闪过一丝深切的恨意。
These flames carried an overwhelming destructive force and slashed toward the opponent.
tā yuán běn jiù duì lín xuān méi yǒu hǎo gǎn ， rú jīn zì jǐ zhè me láng bèi de yí mù luò rù duì fāng yǎn lián ， xīn zhōng gèng shì wō huǒ ， nán miǎn duì lín xuān yě shì qiān nù 。
他原本就对林轩没有好感，如今自己这么狼狈的一幕落入对方眼帘，心中更是窝火，难免对林轩也是迁怒。
Puff...
“ xiǎo jiā huo ， hěn dé yì me ， wǒ yào jiāng nǐ chōu hún liàn pò ！”
“小家伙，很得意么，我要将你抽魂炼魄！”
Almost instantaneously, a muffled sound echoed.
bàn suí zhe yǎo yá qiè chǐ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tā hún shēn lì máng yì qǐ ， jiā zá zhe wú jìn de yuàn qì ， cháo zhe lín xuān chōng le guò qù 。
伴随着咬牙切齿的声音传入耳朵，他浑身厉芒一起，夹杂着无尽的怨气，朝着林轩冲了过去。
Whether the ancient demon was blinded by rage or simply too overconfident to dodge, it had been hit. More accurately, it narrowly avoided being sliced in half.
lín xuān jiàn le ， bù jīng fǎn xǐ 。
林轩见了，不惊反喜。
At the last second, he managed to sidestep.
xiù páo yī fú ， yī bǐng báo rú chán yì de xiān jiàn yú yóu ér chū ， biǎo miàn guāng huá dà zuò ， bàn suí zhe lín xuān yī zhǐ diǎn chū ， gèng téng shēng qǐ le xióng xióng rán shāo de liè huǒ 。
袖袍一拂，一柄薄如蝉翼的仙剑鱼游而出，表面光华大做，伴随着林轩一指点出，更腾升起了熊熊燃烧的烈火。
But even so, his condition was dire. The combined power of the Nine Palaces Sword Technique and Illusory Heavenly Fire was no joke. With his injuries already severe, this situation could only worsen.
nà huǒ yàn wǔ sè liú lí ， dài zhe jīng rén de huǐ miè zhī yì ， bàn suí zhe jiàn qì ， cháo zhe duì fāng yī zhǎn ér qù 。
那火焰五色琉璃，带着惊人的毁灭之意，伴随着剑气，朝着对方一斩而去。
Half his body burned, but this foe proved resilient, not succumbing to death as he turned and fled in a desperate bid for survival.
“ pū ……”
“噗……”
With the enemy’s life hanging by a thread, Lin Xuan had no intention of letting him escape. He swung his arm, creating a flurry of fist shadows that rained down like a storm on the opponent.
jī hū shì chà nà jiān ， jiù yǒu mèn xiǎng shēng chuán lái 。
几乎是刹那间，就有闷响声传来。
This time, he couldn’t use his treasures, but his punches were still formidable. With only three-tenths of his full strength and now with his treasures destroyed, injuries worsening, it was reasonable to assume he would be caught in Lin Xuan’s grasp.
yě bù zhī dào nà xuán gǔ shàng rén jiū jìng shì qì hūn le tóu ， hái shì tuō dà lái bù jí duǒ ， jū rán bèi zhè yī jiàn zhǎn zhōng diào le 。
也不知道那玄古上人究竟是气昏了头，还是托大来不及躲，居然被这一剑斩中掉了。
Lin Xuan thought so, but this time, he miscalculated.
ń ， zhèng què de shuō ， shì cā shēn ér guò 。
嗯，正确的说，是擦身而过。
Despite the dire straits, as a true cultivator, the ancient demon had some means of self-preservation. Despite being surrounded by fist shadows, he spat out a cloud of blood.
tā zài zuì hòu yí kè ， zǒng suàn jiāng shēn tǐ cè kāi diào le 。
他在最后一刻，总算将身体侧开掉了。
This mist coalesced into a bloody longsword.
dàn ráo shì rú cǐ ， yì bù hǎo guò 。
但饶是如此，亦不好过。
Sizzle...
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn jiā huàn líng tiān huǒ de wēi lì kě bú shì shuō xiào de 。
九宫须臾剑加幻灵天火的威力可不是说笑的。
The void was torn open, revealing a shimmering hole.
jiā shàng tā yuán běn jiù shēn shòu zhòng shāng méi cuò ， rú jīn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， kě yǐ shuō ， shì bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de xuě shàng jiā shuāng 。
加上他原本就身受重伤没错，如今这种情况，可以说，是百分之百的雪上加霜。
Then, his figure blurred and disappeared into it.
bàn piàn shēn tǐ dōu rán qǐ le huǒ ， bù guò zhè jiā huo yě dàng zhēn liǎo de ， jū rán yī jiù méi yǒu yǔn luò ， ér shì fāng xiàng yī zhuǎn de xiàng wài bēn táo ér qù le 。
半片身体都燃起了火，不过这家伙也当真了得，居然依旧没有陨落，而是方向一转的向外奔逃而去了。
Crashing through the void!
qiáng dí de shēng mìng suǒ shèng wú jǐ ， lín xuān zì rán méi yǒu fàng zhǔ shú de yā zi fēi zǒu de dào lǐ ， shǒu bì huī chù ， céng céng quán yǐng fú xiàn ér chū ， rú jí fēng zhòu yǔ ， cháo zhe duì fāng lǒng zhào ér qù 。
强敌的生命所剩无几，林轩自然没有放煮熟的鸭子飞走的道理，手臂挥处，层层拳影浮现而出，如疾风骤雨，朝着对方笼罩而去。
A common technique, but in the Small Immortal Realm, such an action carried significant risks. A misstep could trigger terrifying restrictions.
zhè yī cì ， shì lái bù jí dòng yòng bǎo wù ， dàn lín xuān quán tou de wēi lì yì shì bù sú ， zhè wèi xuán gǔ shàng rén yuán běn shí lì jiù zhǐ yǒu quán shèng shí qī de sān chéng ér yǐ ， rú jīn bǎo wù huǐ sǔn ， shāng shì kě lǜ ， àn dào lǐ ， shì pǎo bù chū tā shǒu zhǎng xīn dì 。
这一次，是来不及动用宝物，但林轩拳头的威力亦是不俗，这位玄古上人原本实力就只有全盛时期的三成而已，如今宝物毁损，伤势可虑，按道理，是跑不出他手掌心地。
And who knew where this would lead? If it were a dead end, that would be disastrous.
lín xuān xīn zhōng rú cǐ chuǎi mó ， kě zhè yī cì ， tā què shī suàn le 。
林轩心中如此揣摩，可这一次，他却失算了。
The ancient demon didn’t want to do this, but he had no choice now.
xuán gǔ shàng rén rú jīn chǔ jìng suī rán bù miào yǐ jí ， dàn bì jìng shì zhēn xiān lín shì ， nǎ pà xíng shì zài wēi jī ， yòu zěn me kě néng méi yǒu yì diǎn bǎo mìng de shǒu duàn zài nà lǐ 。
玄古上人如今处境虽然不妙以极，但毕竟是真仙临世，哪怕形势在危机，又怎么可能没有一点保命的手段在那里。
It mattered not how dangerous; resolving the immediate crisis was paramount.
chóng chóng quán yǐng míng míng yǐ jiāng tā bāo guǒ ， rán ér zhè jiā huo de zuǐ zhōng ， què pēn chū yī tuán xuè wù 。
重重拳影明明已将他包裹，然而这家伙的嘴中，却喷出一团血雾。
Lin Xuan watched in shock and frustration. While he couldn’t help his situation, he understood why.
nà wù qì wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé ， yī bǐng xuè sè de zhǎng dāo fú xiàn ér chū 。
那雾气往中间一合，一柄血色的长刀浮现而出。
Then, from nearby, a light suddenly flared, and Lin Xuan sensed spatial energy.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
This sudden change left him bewildered. Was there another formidable foe here besides that hateful creature? Or perhaps Moon had arrived, though the chances were slim. In the realm of cultivation, anything was possible. So, Lin Xuan widened his eyes in anticipation. (To be continued...)
The terrifying power was beyond words to describe. Not only did it reduce the entire space into dust, but even the surroundingpower of the law were consumed by this devastating explosion.
Lin Xuan had faced countless hardships since he embarked on his cultivation path, yet a look of shock still appeared on his face at this moment.
