qiáng dí ！
强敌！
Strong adversary!
liǎng rén xīn zhōng yǒu le gòng tóng de míng wù 。｛{
两人心中有了共同的明悟。｛{
The two men shared a mutual understanding. What to do next was self-evident.
nà jiē xià lái gāi zěn me zuò ， jiù bù yán ér yù le 。
那接下来该怎么做，就不言而喻了。
As the saying goes, "strike first and be strong; strike later and suffer."
sú huà shuō ， xiān xià shǒu wéi qiáng ， hòu xià shǒu zāo yāng 。
俗话说，先下手为强，后下手遭殃。
Lin Xuan had never been one for abiding by rules as a cultivator. As for Master Naelong... would this guy feel ashamed for fighting in greater numbers?
lín xuān cóng lái jiù bú shì jiǎng guī jǔ de xiū xiān zhě ， zhì yú nài lóng zhēn rén …… dà jiā jué de ， zhè jiā huo huì yīn wèi yǐ duō dǎ shǎo ， ér gǎn dào xiū chǐ me ？
林轩从来就不是讲规矩的修仙者，至于鼐龙真人……大家觉得，这家伙会因为以多打少，而感到羞耻么？
The answer was naturally no.
dá àn zì rán shì fǒu dìng de 。
答案自然是否定的。
Thus, what followed could easily be predicted. Lin Xuan's hand moved slightly, seemingly just shifting his shoulder, with no other actions. But the entire sky instantly filled up with sword energy, as if by magic.
yú shì jiē xià lái de yí mù ， jiù hěn hǎo yù cè 。
于是接下来的一幕，就很好预测。
Rain-like and colorful sword energy fell from the heavens, numbering in the tens of thousands, their momentum akin to a black-feathered hawk's swift flight.
zhǐ jiàn lín xuān shǒu qīng qīng yī dǒu ， sì hū zhǐ shì jiān tóu wēi dòng ， chú cǐ yǐ wài ， méi yǒu duō yú de dòng zuò ， dàn zhěng gè tiān kōng ， lì kè rú tóng biàn mó shù yì bān ， bèi fēng yōng ér lái de jiàn qì tián mǎn 。
只见林轩手轻轻一抖，似乎只是肩头微动，除此以外，没有多余的动作，但整个天空，立刻如同变魔术一般，被蜂拥而来的剑气填满。
Despite such an imposing attack, all the sword energies seemed orderly, seemingly conforming to some unknown heavenly law. Yet it was hard to pinpoint exactly what that law might be.
fēn luò rú yǔ ， bīn fēn xuàn lì de jiàn qì ， shǔ yǐ wàn jì ， shēng shì hào dà de xiàng nà mò yǔ hū xiào ér qù 。
纷落如雨，缤纷绚丽的剑气，数以万计，声势浩大的像那墨羽呼啸而去。
Beside them, the Eight-Tailed Fairy Fox was left speechless. Was this truly a being from the lower realms? Such power; though incomparable to true immortals, it would still have its place in the Immortal Realm.
zhè yàng qì shì huī hóng de gōng jī ， rán ér suǒ yǒu de jiàn qì ， jū rán jǐng rán yǒu xù ， sì hū àn hé mǒu zhǒng tiān dì fǎ zé ， rán ér jù tǐ de què yòu shuō bù qīng chǔ 。
这样气势恢宏的攻击，然而所有的剑气，居然井然有序，似乎暗合某种天地法则，然而具体的却又说不清楚。
The sword energy was like snow, incredibly sharp.
yī páng ， bā wěi xiān hú kàn dé dāi zhù 。
一旁，八尾仙狐看得呆住。
Yet on the face of Black Feather, there was no trace of fear.
zhè zhēn de shì xià jiè de cún zài ma ， rú cǐ shí lì ， suī rán méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ zhēn xiān xiāng bǐ ， dàn zài xiān jiè ， yě huì yǒu lì zú zhī dì 。
这真的是下界的存在吗，如此实力，虽然没有办法与真仙相比，但在仙界，也会有立足之地。
He raised his right hand and pointed at one of his treasures. Immediately, a purple mirror emitted dazzling light, its purple glow dyeing the sky with a splendid hue.
jiàn qì rú xuě ， wú bǐ xī lì 。
剑气如雪，无比犀利。
Almost simultaneously, ripples appeared in the void.
rán ér nà mò yǔ de liǎn shàng ， què méi yǒu yī sī jù yì 。
然而那墨羽的脸上，却没有一丝惧意。
A large purple rhombus mirror materialized before their eyes.
zhǐ jiàn tā yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī zhǐ xiàng zhe shēn qián de yī jiàn fǎ bǎo diǎn qù 。
只见他右手抬起，一指向着身前的一件法宝点去。
In the mirror's reflection, swordlight scenes played out.
dùn shí ， zǐ jìng guāng máng dà zuò ， zǐ sè de guāng huī ， jiāng tiān kōng dōu rǎn shàng le yī céng guī lì de yán sè 。
顿时，紫镜光芒大做，紫色的光辉，将天空都染上了一层瑰丽的颜色。
The next moment, sharp sounds of breaking air echoed. Countless purple lights surged out from the mirror.
jī hū yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， xū kōng bō dòng zhòu qǐ 。
几乎与此同时，虚空波动骤起。
Upon closer inspection, these purple lights were actually streaks of sword light.
yí miàn jù dà de zǐ sè líng jìng ， chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
一面巨大的紫色菱镜，出现在了视线里。
Similar to the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword, the only difference was in color.
jìng zi zhōng ， dào yìng chū jiàn guāng de huà miàn lái le 。
镜子中，倒映出剑光的画面来了。
This seemed... a copy.
xià yī kè ， tóng yàng xī lì de pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì wú shù zǐ sè de guāng huá ， cóng nà líng jìng zhōng fēng yōng ér chū 。
下一刻，同样犀利的破空声传入耳朵，却是无数紫色的光华，从那菱镜中蜂拥而出。
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed as he deduced this almost instantly. His combat experience was no joke.
zǐ xì yī kàn ， zhè xiē zǐ guāng ， yuán lái shì yī dào dào de jiàn máng 。
仔细一看，这些紫光，原来是一道道的剑芒。
But whether it was or not didn't matter anymore.
yǔ jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn xiāng chà fǎng fú ， wéi yī bù tóng de ， biàn shì yán sè 。
与九宫须臾剑相差仿佛，唯一不同的，便是颜色。
Even if he understood now, could he still change his tactics within this brief moment?
zhè sì hū shì …… fù zhì chū lái de 。
这似乎是……复制出来的。
Amidst the swirling light and clashing sounds, silver and purple lights chased each other in mid-air. Yet their battle ended inconclusively.
lín xuān yǎn máng wēi suō 。 jī hū shì yī chà nà ， jiù dé chū zhè ge tuī cè 。
林轩眼芒微缩。几乎是一刹那，就得出这个推测。
Terrifying treasure! Its replicated abilities were nearly on par with the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword.
bì jìng tā dòu fǎ de jīng yàn fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
毕竟他斗法的经验非同小可。
A look of shock appeared on Lin Xuan's face.
dàn qí shí shì yǔ bú shì gēn běn yǐ bú zhòng yào le 。
但其实是与不是根本已不重要了。
But he didn't hesitate to change tactics.
jiù suàn nòng míng bái le yòu rú hé ， rú jīn zhè diǎn shí jiān nán dào hái yǒu jī huì biàn zhāo me ？
就算弄明白了又如何，如今这点时间难道还有机会变招么？
With a flick of his divine consciousness, all the splendid sword lights vanished.
yī shí jiān ， màn tiān dōu kě jiàn guāng huá fēi wǔ ， dīng dīng dāng dāng de shēng yīn dà zuò ， yín máng zǐ guāng ， zài bàn kōng zhōng hù xiāng zhuī zhú ， rán ér xiāng dòu de jié guǒ què shì bù fēn shèng fù 。
一时间，漫天都可见光华飞舞，叮叮当当的声音大做，银芒紫光，在半空中互相追逐，然而相斗的结果却是不分胜负。
Everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion.
hǎo kě pà de bǎo wù ， tā suǒ fù zhì chū lái de shén tōng jū rán yǔ jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
好可怕的宝物，它所复制出来的神通居然与九宫须臾剑相差仿佛。
Yet he reached out towards the void.
lín xuān liǎn shàng liú lù chū yī sī hài rán zhī sè 。
林轩脸上流露出一丝骇然之色。
As Lin Xuan moved, silver light shone. A celestial sword suddenly materialized from his fingertips, thin as cicada wings, almost transparent to the eye.
dàn biàn zhāo què yì diǎn yě bù hán hù 。
但变招却一点也不含糊。
The sword appeared fragile but contained awe-inspiringlaw power.
shén niàn dòng chù ， màn tiān xuàn lì de jiàn máng yǐ xiāo shī diào le 。
神念动处，漫天绚丽的剑芒已消失掉了。
Indeed,天地law (Heavenly Laws). In Lesser Immortal Domain, Lin Xuan couldn't fathom these laws, but the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was no ordinary item; it approached legendary treasures of immortal palaces. It itself carried rule powers, now blending seamlessly with the surrounding essence energy to surpass its power in the Spirit Realm.
fǎng fú gāng cái de yī qiè dōu zhǐ shì huàn shù 。
仿佛刚才的一切都只是幻术。
Thus, Lin Xuan's right hand moved gracefully. A magnificent sword energy surged forth, obscuring the sky and creating a grand spectacle.
rán ér tā què shēn shǒu cháo zhe xū kōng yī lāo ér chū 。
然而他却伸手朝着虚空一捞而出。
But in an instant, it vanished. All the sword energies seemed compressed into a fine crystal thread.
suí zhe lín xuān de dòng zuò 。
随着林轩的动作。
It flashed by in an instant, crossing over a hundred meters before purple sword energy was slashed to pieces as if paper.
yín máng liàng lì 。 yī bǐng xiān jiàn shà shí jiān yóu tā de zhǐ zhǎng jiān fú xiàn ér qǐ ， báo rú chán yì ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， jū rán shì bàn tòu míng dì 。
银芒亮丽。一柄仙剑霎时间由他的指掌间浮现而起，薄如蝉翼，一眼望去，居然是半透明地。
Can you replicate my abilities? This time, do you have time to react?
nà jiàn kàn shàng qù cuì ruò wú bǐ ， piān piān què yùn hán dé yǒu lìng rén xīn jì de fǎ zé zhī lì 。
那剑看上去脆弱无比，偏偏却蕴含得有令人心悸的法则之力。
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Lin Xuan's mouth. Then he heard a sizzling sound. The fine crystal thread collided with the purple rhombus mirror in front.
méi cuò ， tiān dì fǎ zé ， zài xiǎo xiān yù zhōng lín xuān wú fǎ cān tòu tiān dì fǎ zé ， dàn jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn bú shì fán wù ， yǐ fēi cháng jiē jìn chuán shuō zhōng de xiān fǔ qí zhēn le 。
没错，天地法则，在小仙域中林轩无法参透天地法则，但九宫须臾剑不是凡物，已非常接近传说中的仙府奇珍了。
It was still unstoppable.
tā běn shēn yì dài yǒu fǎ zé zhī lì 。 cǐ shí ， yǔ màn tiān de xiān líng qì hún rán yī tǐ ， fā huī chū gèng shèng zài líng jiè shí de wēi lì 。
它本身亦带有法则之力。此时，与漫天的先灵气浑然一体，发挥出更胜在灵界时的威力。
Perhaps that purple rhombus mirror was a decent treasure, but its defense was not its forte.
yú shì ， dàn jiàn lín xuān yòu shǒu qīng qīng huī luò 。 pī miàn biàn yǒu yī huī hóng yì cháng de jiàn qì fēng yōng ér chū ， zhē yún bì rì ， shēng shì hóng dà yǐ jí 。
于是，但见林轩右手轻轻挥落。劈面便有一恢宏异常的剑气蜂拥而出，遮云蔽日，声势宏大以极。
With the sizzling sound, countless cracks appeared and dissipated into points of light in the void.
dàn yī zhuǎn yǎn ， què yòu xùn sù yǐn qù 。 suǒ yǒu de jiàn qì ， fǎng fú bèi yā suō zài yì qǐ ， huà wèi le yī xiān xì de jīng sī 。
但一转眼，却又迅速隐去。所有的剑气，仿佛被压缩在一起，化为了一纤细的晶丝。
Puff...
yī shǎn jí shì 。
一闪即逝。
From afar, Black Feather spat out blood. His face showed shock and anger; he never imagined being injured by such a tiny ant.
xū yú jiān 。 biàn héng dù le bǎi zhàng de jù lí ， yán tú ， zǐ sè de jiàn qì ， jìng yǒu rú zhǐ hú ， bèi cuī kū lā xiǔ de zhǎn le gè qī líng bā luò 。
须臾间。便横渡了百丈的距离，沿途，紫色的剑气，竟有如纸糊，被摧枯拉朽的斩了个七零八落。
"I will extract your soul and refine it!"
néng gòu fù yìn lín mǒu de shén tōng yòu rú hé ， zhè yī cì ， nǐ yǒu shí jiān fǎn yìng guò lái me ？
能够复印林某的神通又如何，这一次，你有时间反应过来么？
With a hysterical voice, Black Feather extended his hand and flicked it towards the front. Instantly, a copper furnace emitted a faint mystical aura.
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè ， suí hòu biàn tīng cī lā yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà xiān xì de jīng sī yǐ yǔ qián fāng zǐ sè de líng jìng hěn hěn zhuàng zài le yì qǐ 。
林轩的嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲之色，随后便听刺啦一声传入耳朵，那纤细的晶丝已与前方紫色的菱镜狠狠撞在了一起。
The aura was but a single strand that spread outwards in all directions.
yī jiù shì shì rú pò zhú 。
依旧是势如破竹。
Soon, pavilions, terraces, rock formations, and waterfalls appeared before their eyes, resembling legendary palaces of immortals.
nà zǐ sè de léng jìng huò xǔ shì yī bù cuò de bǎo wù ， dàn fáng yù jué fēi qí suǒ zhǎng lái zhe 。
那紫色的棱镜或许是一不错的宝物，但防御绝非其所长来着。
Stunning to behold, but soon, the mountains and trees transformed into monstrous beasts rushing towards them.
bàn suí zhe cī lā shēng dà zuò ， shàng miàn wú shù liè hén fú xiàn ér chū ， huà wèi diǎn diǎn de zǐ guāng yú xū kōng zhōng xiāo sàn diào le 。
伴随着刺啦声大做，上面无数裂痕浮现而出，化为点点的紫光于虚空中消散掉了。
These monsters ranged from sizes as large as mountains, capable of shaking the earth with a roar, to tiny like mosquitoes, moving swiftly. Each had unique abilities.
“ pū ……”
“噗……”
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed; he immediately confirmed it wasn't an illusion.
yuǎn chù ， mò yǔ kǒu zhōng yī dào xiān xuè pēn tǔ ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì jīng nù ， zuò mèng yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào ， zì jǐ huì bèi yī xiǎo xiǎo de lóu yǐ gěi shāng dào le 。
远处，墨羽口中一道鲜血喷吐，脸上满是惊怒，做梦也没有想到，自己会被一小小的蝼蚁给伤到了。
In an instant, a monster the size of a mountain, resembling a tiger, rushed within a few meters. Without time to summon his treasures, Lin Xuan punched out.
“ wǒ yào jiāng nǐ chōu hún liàn pò ！”
“我要将你抽魂炼魄！”
Though perhaps weaker in power, it was clean and decisive.
bàn suí zhe xiē sī dǐ lǐ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
伴随着歇斯底里的声音传入耳朵。
Boom!
mò yǔ jiāng shǒu shēn chū ， chōng zhe qián fāng yī dàn ， dùn shí ， tóng lú zhōng shēng qǐ le yī lǚ yīn yūn de xiān qì 。
墨羽将手伸出，冲着前方一弹，顿时，铜炉中升起了一缕氤氲的仙气。
The tiger's head was smashed through, its body turning into rocks falling down.
nà xiān qì jǐn yǒu yī lǚ ， què cháo zhe sì zhōu liǎo liǎo de kuò sàn ér qù 。
那仙气仅有一缕，却朝着四周了了的扩散而去。
But during their fall, these rocks transformed into serpents.
suí hòu tíng tái lóu gé ， jiǎ shān pù bù ， yī guī lì de fēng jǐng yìng rù yǎn lián ， jiù fǎng fú chuán shuō zhōng de xiān gōng yì bān 。
随后亭台楼阁，假山瀑布，一瑰丽的风景映入眼帘，就仿佛传说中的仙宫一般。
With their heads raised, they seemed intent on wrapping themselves around Lin Xuan layer by layer.
měi lì duó mù ， dàn hěn kuài ， nà xiē shān shí shù mù ， quán bù biàn chéng guài shòu xiàng zì jǐ pū guò lái le 。
美丽夺目，但很快，那些山石树木，全部变成怪兽像自己扑过来了。
Lin Xuan waved his sleeves, releasing countless silver sword threads from where he stood. They surged towards the opposite side like a deluge.
zhè xiē guài shòu yǒu de dà rú shān yuè ， hū xiào zhī jiān ， jí kě ràng shān yáo dì dòng ， yǒu de xiǎo rú wén chóng ， rán ér xíng dòng rú fēng ， zhū bān shén tōng yě shì gè bù xiāng tóng 。
这些怪兽有的大如山岳，呼啸之间，即可让山摇地动，有的小如蚊虫，然而行动如风，诸般神通也是各不相同。
Instantly, all the snakes had their heads pierced through.
lín xuān yǎn máng wēi suō ， dì yī shí jiān biàn què rèn le zhè bú shì huàn shù 。
林轩眼芒微缩，第一时间便确认了这不是幻术。
But they didn't fall; with a flick of their tails, each snake transformed into hundreds of flying moths, swarming towards Lin Xuan.
zhǎ yǎn jiān ， yī shān yuè dà xiǎo ， xíng rú měng hǔ de guài wù yǐ pū dào shēn qián zhàng yú zhī chù ， lái bù jí jì chū bǎo wù ， lín xuān yī quán hōng chū 。
眨眼间，一山岳大小，形如猛虎的怪物已扑到身前丈余之处，来不及祭出宝物，林轩一拳轰出。
Unending slaughter; these creatures seemed to have infinite transformations.
wēi lì huò xǔ shāo ruò ， què yě gān jìng lì luò 。
威力或许稍弱，却也干净利落。
The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword could only struggle. Lin Xuan's left hand cast a spell, and purple light shone as a delicate circular ring appeared before his eyes.
hōng ！
轰！
Ancient in design.
nà lǎo hǔ bèi zá chuān le tóu lú ， shēn qū huà wèi yī kuài kuài yán shí wǎng xià luò 。
那老虎被砸穿了头颅，身躯化为一块块岩石往下落。
With a clear sound, a slender divine bird flew out from within the ring.
kě zài luò de guò chéng zhōng ， nà xiē yán shí què yòu biàn chéng le mǎng shé 。
可在落的过程中，那些岩石却又变成了蟒蛇。
Its wings spread, creating a sea of flames.
áng shǒu tǔ xīn ， sì hū yào jiāng lín xuān céng céng dié dié de chán zhù 。
昂首吐芯，似乎要将林轩层层叠叠的缠住。
In an instant, the sky turned purple. The Red Lotus Fire, said to burn all things in existence.
lín xuān xiù páo yī shuǎi ， wú shù yín sè de jiàn sī cóng qí zhàn lì zhī chù bào fā kāi lái ， bìng pū tiān gài dì de bēn duì miàn jī shè ér qù 。
林轩袖袍一甩，无数银色的剑丝从其站立之处爆发开来，并铺天盖地的奔对面激射而去。
Your infinite changes? A single fire can reduce you to ashes.
dùn shí ， mǎng shé quán bù bèi guàn chuān le tóu lú 。
顿时，蟒蛇全部被贯穿了头颅。
Though this Vermilion Bird Ring wasn't a primordial artifact, its power was comparable.
dàn tā men yī jiù bìng wèi yǔn luò ， wěi ba yī shuǎi ， měi yī tiáo mǎng shé ， huà wèi bǎi shí zhǐ fēi é ， pū tiān gài dì de cháo zhe lín xuān pū guò qù le 。
但它们依旧并未陨落，尾巴一甩，每一条蟒蛇，化为百十只飞蛾，铺天盖地的朝着林轩扑过去了。
In terms of power, it might not surpass that copper furnace, but as they say, salt water turns tofu; one thing counters another. Its abilities had an effect against the treasure item.
shā bù shèng shā ， zhè xiē jiā huo sì hū yōng yǒu wú qióng de biàn huà 。
杀不胜杀，这些家伙似乎拥有无穷的变化。
Puff...
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yě zhǐ néng shì pí yú yìng fù ， lín xuān zuǒ shǒu yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， dùn shí zǐ guāng dà zuò ， yī shì yàng jīng qiǎo de yuán huán zài yǎn lián zhōng fú xiàn ér chū 。
九宫须臾剑也只能是疲于应付，林轩左手一道法诀打出，顿时紫光大做，一式样精巧的圆环在眼帘中浮现而出。
Black Feather spat out more blood, his face filled with hatred towards Lin Xuan.
zào xíng gǔ piáo 。
造型古朴。
But Lin Xuan wasn't any better. The several rounds of combat were swift and perilous. Though he seemed to be in control, victory was a mere hair's breadth away.
bàn suí zhe qīng míng shēng dà zuò ， yī xì mù zhǎng líng de shén niǎo cóng qí zhōng fēi lüè ér chū 。
伴随着清鸣声大做，一细目长灵的神鸟从其中飞掠而出。
Winning had been partly due to luck, but soon, Lin Xuan thought about something: where was Master Naelong? (To be continued...)
Strong adversary!
The two men shared a mutual understanding. What to do next was self-evident.
As the saying goes, "strike first and be strong; strike later and suffer."
Lin Xuan had never been one for abiding by rules as a cultivator. As for Master Naelong... would this guy feel ashamed for fighting in greater numbers?
