lǐn rán wú jù ， fǎng fú zhè xiē jiàn guāng zhǐ shì ní sù zhǐ hú de dōng xī 。**.
凛然无惧，仿佛这些剑光只是泥塑纸糊的东西。**.
Lin Xuan's face showed a hint of surprise.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng liú lù chū yī sī chà yì 。
林轩的脸上流露出一丝诧异。
In the next moment, these two clashed violently.
xià yī kè ， zhè èr zhě biàn hěn hěn de zhuàng zài le yì qǐ 。
下一刻，这二者便狠狠的撞在了一起。
Bang!
hōng ！
轰！
A crimson aura surged like a surging tide, swallowing the sharp sword light.
chì hóng sè de qì làng ， rú hǎi cháo nù bān de tūn mò le nà xī lì de jiàn guāng 。
赤红色的气浪，如海潮怒般的吞没了那犀利的剑光。
The sky was filled with flames. The sword light Lin Xuan had generated did not serve any purpose; the phoenixes' strength was formidable indeed, likely no less than ordinary true spirits.
màn tiān dōu shì liè huǒ ， lín xuān suǒ jī fā de jiàn máng jū rán méi yǒu qǐ dào rèn hé yòng chù ， zhè xiē fèng huáng de shí lì zhe shí shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， bǐ zhī pǔ tōng de zhēn líng kǒng pà yì bù xùn sè 。
漫天都是烈火，林轩所激发的剑芒居然没有起到任何用处，这些凤凰的实力着实是非同小可，比之普通的真灵恐怕亦不逊色。
Was it an innate treasure?
xiān tiān líng bǎo me ？
先天灵宝么？
Lin Xuan also possessed such knowledge, but this Ten Thousand Sword Diagram seemed to be completely outmatched by its opponent.
lín xuān shǒu zhōng yě yǒu zhǎng wò ， rán ér zhè wàn jiàn tú què fǎng fú wán quán dí duì fāng bù guò 。
林轩手中也有掌握，然而这万剑图却仿佛完全敌对方不过。
What should he do?
gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
该怎么办呢？
Seeing those dozen phoenixes, accompanied by flames and spiritual light, engulfing him, Lin Xuan's face showed a sigh.
yǎn jiàn nà shí yú tóu fèng huáng ， jiā zá zhe màn tiān de liè huǒ yǔ líng guāng ， yào jiāng zì jǐ tūn mò 。
眼见那十余头凤凰，夹杂着漫天的烈火与灵光，要将自己吞没。
There was no fear; only a touch of melancholy.
lín xuān liǎn shàng ， què fú xiàn chū yī lǚ tàn xī lái le 。
林轩脸上，却浮现出一缕叹息来了。
Lin Xuan once again activated the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword.
méi yǒu wèi jù ， yǒu de zhǐ shì yī lǚ chóu chàng ér yǐ 。
没有畏惧，有的只是一缕惆怅而已。
Silver light blazed as dozens of immortal swords surrounded him, spinning and dancing. They then converged together with a clear sound, flying back like a myriad of streams converging into one river.
lín xuān zài cì jiāng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn jì le chū qù 。
林轩再次将九宫须臾剑祭了出去。
"Quickly!"
zhǐ jiàn yín máng cì mù ， shù shí bǐng xiān jiàn wéi zhe tā pán xuán fēi wǔ ， suí hòu wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé ， bàn suí zhe qīng míng shēng dà zuò ， nà xiē xiān jiàn rú wàn liú guī zōng bān de dào fēi huí lái le 。
只见银芒刺目，数十柄仙剑围着他盘旋飞舞，随后往中间一合，伴随着清鸣声大做，那些仙剑如万流归宗般的倒飞回来了。
Lin Xuan pointed his finger forward, and eighty-one immortal swords flew in different directions, reuniting to form nine swords.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
Simplifying the complex, only nine swords remained.
lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū ， jiǔ jiǔ bā shí yī bǐng xiān jiàn fēn bié xiàng zhe bù tóng de fāng xiàng fēi le guò qù ， chóng xīn jù hé zài yì qǐ 。
林轩一指向前点出，九九八十一柄仙剑分别向着不同的方向飞了过去，重新聚合在一起。
Their lengths varied, their styles differing. Even the emitted spiritual energy attributes were vastly different.
huà fán wèi jiǎn ， zuì hòu shèng xià de zhǐ yǒu jiǔ bǐng xiān jiàn 。
化繁为简，最后剩下的只有九柄仙剑。
Nine Palaces Momentary referred to the five elements—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—as well as wind, lightning, and illusion.
cháng duǎn bù yī ， shì yàng yě shì gè yì ， lián sàn fà chū lái de líng lì shǔ xìng dōu shì dà bù xiāng tóng dì 。
长短不一，式样也是各异，连散发出来的灵力属性都是大不相同地。
At this moment, they merely returned to their most basic forms.
jiǔ gōng xū yú ， gù míng sī yì ， yuán běn jiù dài biǎo le jīn mù shuǐ huǒ tǔ ， fēng diàn léi hái yǒu huàn shù 。
九宫须臾，顾名思义，原本就代表了金木水火土，风电雷还有幻术。
With his deep-seated wisdom, Lin Xuan would not act aimlessly. In his dantian, the元婴 floated with a solemn expression, while the true spirit inner core spun wildly.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， bù guò shì huán yuán chéng zuì jī chǔ de xíng tài bà le 。
此时此刻，不过是还原成最基础的形态罢了。
Multicolored and vibrant, nearly a hundred shadows of true spirits emerged one after another.
ér yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， dāng rán bú huì wú dì fàng shǐ de zhè me zuò 。
而以林轩的城府，当然不会无的放矢的这么做。
Most passed quickly like a flash in the pan, but nine remained, becoming increasingly clear instead of fading away.
cǐ shí zài tā de dān tián zhī zhōng ， yuán yīng shén sè níng zhòng de xuán fú ， zhì yú zhēn líng nèi dān ， zé fēng kuáng yì cháng de xuán zhuǎn qǐ lái le 。
此时在他的丹田之中，元婴神色凝重的悬浮，至于真灵内丹，则疯狂异常的旋转起来了。
Phoenixes, true dragons, peacocks, and golden phoenixes—each was renowned for its might.
wǔ sè bān lán ， jìn bǎi zhǒng zhēn líng de xū yǐng yī yī fú xiàn ér chū 。
五色斑斓，近百种真灵的虚影一一浮现而出。
The remaining five were no less formidable. They included the proud Nine-Headed Bird, the phoenix's distant relative Zhu Que, and the golden sun bird. There were also the mountain giant ape and white tiger.
rán ér dà bù fèn zhǐ shì yī huǎng ér guò ， tán huā yī xiàn bà le ， wéi yǒu qí zhōng jiǔ zhǒng 。 bù jǐn méi yǒu jì miè ， fǎn ér yuè lái yuè qīng xī qǐ lái le 。
然而大部分只是一晃而过，昙花一现罢了，唯有其中九种。不仅没有寂灭，反而越来越清晰起来了。
Their strength should not be underestimated; they ranked among the top in true spirits.
fèng huáng 、 zhēn lóng 、 kǒng què 、 dà péng ， měi yī zhǒng zhēn líng jiē shì wēi míng hè hè 。
凤凰、真龙、孔雀、大鹏，每一种真灵皆是威名赫赫。
Nailong sat there watching the show. Lin Xuan faced a formidable enemy alone, so he had no reason to hide his prowess. He raised his head, let out a clear roar that echoed into the sky, then lifted his right hand and swept it toward his crown.
dāng rán ， shèng xià de wǔ zhǒng yě bù hán hù 。
当然，剩下的五种也不含糊。
As Lin Xuan moved, those true spirit shadows vanished from his dantian.
fēn bié shì jié ào de jiǔ tóu niǎo ， fèng huáng de yuǎn qīn zhū què yǔ jīn wū ， hái yǒu jiù shì shān yuè jù yuán yǔ bái hǔ 。
分别是桀骜的九头鸟，凤凰的远亲朱雀与金乌，还有就是山岳巨猿与白虎。
Next moment, they appeared above him.
tā men de shí lì yě bù róng qīng hū ， zài zhēn líng zhōng yě dōu suàn pái míng kào qián de cún zài le 。
它们的实力也不容轻忽，在真灵中也都算排名靠前的存在了。
Nine powerful auras spread out.
nài lóng zài nà lǐ zuò zhe kàn xì ， lín xuān yí gè rén miàn duì qiáng dí ， zì rán méi yǒu cáng zhuō de dào lǐ ， zhǐ jiàn tā yáng qǐ tóu lú 。 kǒu zhōng yī shēng qīng xiào fā chū ， zhí chōng tiān jì ， tóng shí yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， cháo zhe tiān líng gài yī fú 。
鼐龙在那里坐着看戏，林轩一个人面对强敌，自然没有藏拙的道理，只见他扬起头颅。口中一声清啸发出，直冲天际，同时右手抬起，朝着天灵盖一拂。
The Nine Palaces Momentary swords began to respond, emitting spiritual light. The nine true spirit shadows then flew towards the different-shaped immortal swords and merged with them.
suí zhe lín xuān de dòng zuò ， nà xiē zhēn líng xū yǐng jìng yóu lín xuān de dān tián xiāo shī bú jiàn le 。
随着林轩的动作，那些真灵虚影竟由林轩的丹田消失不见了。
Originally ethereal, these now seemed solid.
xià yī kè ， chū xiàn zài le tóu dǐng shàng kōng 。
下一刻，出现在了头顶上空。
True Spirit Sword Technique!
jiǔ gǔ qiáng dà de qì xī mí sàn ér chū 。
九股强大的气息弥散而出。
Lin Xuan's divine technique was about to be unleashed.
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zé kāi shǐ yìng hè ， líng guāng sì shè ， suí hòu nà jiǔ dào zhēn líng xū yǐng ， fēn bié wǎng jiǔ bǐng bù tóng shì yàng de xiān jiàn pū guò qù le 。
九宫须臾剑则开始应和，灵光四射，随后那九道真灵虚影，分别往九柄不同式样的仙剑扑过去了。
This was his secret art.
hù xiāng róng hé 。
互相融合。
Dragon roars and phoenix cries filled the air. The mountain giant ape raised its head high, its massive fist drumming on its chest like rolling thunder.
yuán běn de xū yǐng jìng huà zuò le rú yǒu shí zhì zhī wù 。
原本的虚影竟化作了如有实质之物。
Pang pang pang, as if echoing in his ears.
zhēn líng huà jiàn jué ！
真灵化剑诀！
What of the phoenixes?
lín xuān shǐ yòng de shén tōng yǐ hū zhī yù chū 。
林轩使用的神通已呼之欲出。
Lin Xuan had conjured them based on true spirits; Mo Yu's face showed surprise.
zhè shì tā yā xiāng dǐ de mì shù 。
这是他压箱底的秘术。
What kind of spell is this? An illusion?
yī shí jiān 。 lóng yín fèng yín shēng bù tíng de chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shān yuè jù yuán gèng shì gāo gāo de yáng qǐ tóu lú ， shuò dà de quán tou zài xiōng táng shàng yǒu rú léi gǔ 。
一时间。龙吟凤吟声不停的传入耳朵，山岳巨猿更是高高的扬起头颅，硕大的拳头在胸膛上有如擂鼓。
But that thought was quickly dismissed.
pēng pēng pēng de xiàng shì gǔn léi zài ěr biān xiǎng guò 。
嘭嘭嘭的像是滚雷在耳边响过。
The true dragon swayed its tail and charged to the front.
fèng huáng yòu rú hé ？
凤凰又如何？
Awaiting it was a fiery phoenix, over a hundred feet long. In terms of气势, it did not fall short of the true dragon. However, upon contact, they immediately separated in strength.
lín xuān biàn huàn chū lái de ， kě shì yǐ zhēn líng wèi jī chǔ 。 mò yǔ de liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de liú lù chū chī jīng zhī sè 。
林轩变幻出来的，可是以真灵为基础。墨羽的脸上也不由得流露出吃惊之色。
Ahhh!
zhè shì shén me fǎ shù ， huàn jué me ？
这是什么法术，幻觉么？
The true dragon raised its head, spewing out a golden light wave that pierced through the phoenix's surrounding flames as if autumn winds sweeping fallen leaves.
dàn zhè ge xiǎng fǎ hěn kuài jiù bèi jī chéng le fěn mò 。
但这个想法很快就被击成了粉末。
Even though the Ten Thousand Sword Diagram's sword light could not break it, before the true dragon's might, it was like paper.
zhēn lóng wěi ba yī bǎi ， yī mǎ dāng xiān ， yǐ chōng zài le zuì qián miàn 。
真龙尾巴一摆，一马当先，已冲在了最前面。
But this was far from over. Following the dragon's claws, sharp sounds rang out, revealing several piercing claw rays.
děng dài tā de 。 shì yī huǒ hóng de fèng huáng ， shēn cháng chāo guò bǎi zhàng ， cóng qì shì shàng 。 yì diǎn yě bù bǐ zhēn lóng xùn sè ， rán ér liǎng zhě yī jiē chù ， lì kè fēn chū gāo xià lái le 。
等待它的。是一火红的凤凰，身长超过百丈，从气势上。一点也不比真龙逊色，然而两者一接触，立刻分出高下来了。
No blood splattered, but the phoenix struggled desperately, its situation dire.
áng ！
昂！
Actually, it fared well.
zhēn lóng yáng qǐ tóu lú ， cóng zuǐ bā lǐ tǔ chū yī dào jīn sè de guāng bō ， shuō qiū fēng sǎo luò yè yě bù wèi guò ， zhí jiē jiù dòng chuān le fèng huáng shēn tǐ zhōu wéi de liè huǒ 。
真龙扬起头颅，从嘴巴里吐出一道金色的光波，说秋风扫落叶也不为过，直接就洞穿了凤凰身体周围的烈火。
While the true dragon's strength was terrifying, in terms of grandeur and scale, nothing could match the mountain giant ape.
gāng cái wàn jiàn tú de jiàn guāng yě bù céng kǎn pò ， rán ér zài zhēn lóng de shén wēi miàn qián què yǒu rú zhǐ hú 。
刚才万剑图的剑光也不曾砍破，然而在真龙的神威面前却有如纸糊。
This fellow's ferocity was beyond description.
rán ér zhè hái méi yǒu jié shù ， jǐn jiē zhe lóng zhǎo yī wǔ ， jiān ruì de pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， què shì jǐ dào xī lì de zhǎo máng fú xiàn ér chū 。
然而这还没有结束，紧接着龙爪一舞，尖锐的破空声大做，却是几道犀利的爪芒浮现而出。
It stepped forward, charging at its opponent.
méi yǒu xiān xuè fēi jiàn ， dàn nà fèng huáng yě shì zuǒ zhī yòu chù ， xíng shì bù miào dào jí chù 。
没有鲜血飞溅，但那凤凰也是左支右绌，形势不妙到极处。
The phoenix opposite had a murderous look in its eyes. It flapped its wings, shooting out a fiery vortex that struck the mountain giant ape like a sweeping mountain.
qí shí tā hái suàn hǎo de 。
其实它还算好的。
However, the mountain giant ape was so formidable that it ignored it and stepped past.
zhēn lóng shí lì suī rán kě bù ， dàn yào lùn dà kāi dà hé ， què fēi shān yuè jù yuán mò shǔ 。
真龙实力虽然可怖，但要论大开大阖，却非山岳巨猿莫属。
The phoenix would not yield; it shook its body, emitting several spatial rifts.
zhè wèi jiā huo de biāo hàn chéng dù ， nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ biǎo shù 。
这位家伙的彪悍程度，难以用言语表述。
"Vacuum Slash!"
zhí jiē mài kāi dà bù ， chōng zhe shēn qián de duì shǒu chōng guò qù le 。
直接迈开大步，冲着身前的对手冲过去了。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. This required a certain level of understanding of space laws to perform. But the mountain giant ape did not fear, took a deep breath, then suddenly opened its mouth and let out a thunderous roar.
tā duì miàn de fèng huáng ， yǎn zhōng yǐn yǒu shā qì liú lù ， chì bǎng yī shàn ， dùn shí jī shè chū yī dào huǒ yàn xuán fēng chū lái ， lián tiān jiē dì ， xiàng nà shān yuè jù yuán héng sǎo ér qù 。
它对面的凤凰，眼中隐有杀气流露，翅膀一扇，顿时激射出一道火焰旋风出来，连天接地，像那山岳巨猿横扫而去。
The vacuum in front of him distorted and blurred, forming a semi-transparent vacuum light shield.
rán ér shàng shān yuè jù yuán shí zài shì biāo hàn dào jí chù ， jū rán shì ruò wú dǔ ， yī bù kuà guò qù le 。
然而上山岳巨猿实在是彪悍到极处，居然视若无睹，一步跨过去了。
Even Vacuum Slash was ineffective; both were obliterated upon impact.
fèng huáng zì tiān rán bú huì rèn shū ， shēn tǐ qīng dǒu ， yòu jī shè chū jǐ dào kōng jiān liè fèng 。
凤凰自天然不会认输，身体轻抖，又激射出几道空间裂缝。
This delay allowed the mountain giant ape to rush closer. Its fluffy hand grabbed the phoenix's neck tightly.
“ xū kōng zhǎn ！”
“虚空斩！”
The phoenix roared furiously, an unprecedented insult for the king of birds. It struggled desperately, causing red light to flare up, enveloping the mountain giant ape's entire arm.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， zhè kě yào kōng jiān fǎ zé lǐng wù dào yí dìng chéng dù ， cái kě yǐ shī zhǎn de ， dàn shān yuè jù yuán gēn běn jiù bù jù ， shēn shēn hū xī ， zài měng rán yī zhāng kǒu ， jìng fā chū yī shēng dì dòng shān yáo bān de jù hǒu lái le 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，这可要空间法则领悟到一定程度，才可以施展的，但山岳巨猿根本就不惧，深深呼吸，再猛然一张口，竟发出一声地动山摇般的巨吼来了。
On the ape's face, a human-like expression of pain appeared. But it did not let go; instead, it unleashed its ferocity, tightening its grip with five fingers that pierced through the phoenix's skin. It then raised the phoenix high and smashed it to the ground like a rag doll.
bàn suí zhe páo xiāo ， tā qián fāng de xū kōng niǔ qū mó hú ， diǎn diǎn lián yī fàn chū ， jìng xíng chéng yī céng bàn tòu míng de zhēn kōng guāng zhào lái le 。
伴随着咆哮，他前方的虚空扭曲模糊，点点涟漪泛出，竟形成一层半透明的真空光罩来了。
A massive pit appeared as the phoenix was crushed. The mountain giant ape did not stop there; it repeated the action, smashing the phoenix against the side of the mountain...
xū kōng zhǎn yě méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， jī dǎ zài shàng miàn ， liǎng zhě tóng guī yú jìn diào le 。
虚空斩也没有用处，击打在上面，两者同归于尽掉了。
...
ér zhè shāo yī dān gē ， shān yuè jù yuán yǐ chōng dào le dí rén de jìn chù 。
而这稍一耽搁，山岳巨猿已冲到了敌人的近处。
This was just one scene of their battle. Overall, Mo Yu's released phoenixes suffered a crushing defeat. They were not true spirits and, despite formidable strength, they immediately paled in comparison to Lin Xuan's True Spirit Sword Technique.
máo róng róng de dà shǒu zhāng kāi ， jū rán jiāng fèng huáng de bó gěng sǐ sǐ zuàn zài le zhǎng xīn lǐ miàn 。
毛茸茸的大手张开，居然将凤凰的脖颈死死攥在了掌心里面。
It could be said that it was one-sided; like tofu meeting brine, one thing suppresses another.
fèng huáng dà nù ， duì yú bǎi niǎo zhī wáng lái shuō zhè shì cóng suǒ wèi yǒu de wǔ rǔ ， dùn shí pīn mìng de zhēng zhá qǐ lái le ， yī shí jiān hóng máng dà zuò ， jiāng shān yuè jù yuán de zhěng gè shǒu bì dōu yǐ bāo guǒ 。
凤凰大怒，对于百鸟之王来说这是从所未有的侮辱，顿时拼命的挣扎起来了，一时间红芒大做，将山岳巨猿的整个手臂都已包裹。
Nailong the Immortal still laughed as he drank but showed a hint of surprise on his face. He had thought Lin Xuan would not hold out and was ready to intervene, only to see such results in an instant.
jù yuán de liǎn shàng ， hěn rén xìng huà de lù chū le tòng kǔ ， dàn tā bù jǐn méi yǒu fàng shǒu ， fǎn ér jī fā le xīn zhōng de xiōng xìng ， wǔ zhǐ yòng lì ， zhuā dé gèng jǐn ， jiān lì de zhǐ jiǎ ， cì pò le fèng huáng de jī fū ， suí hòu jiāng tā gāo gāo jǔ qǐ ， pò bù tiáo yì bān de cháo zhe dì biǎo zá luò 。
巨猿的脸上，很人性化的露出了痛苦，但他不仅没有放手，反而激发了心中的凶性，五指用力，抓得更紧，尖利的指甲，刺破了凤凰的肌肤，随后将它高高举起，破布条一般的朝着地表砸落。
"True Spirit Sword Technique, my third brother's art is none other than the ancient Moon Clan's highest secret technique; it rivals the Heavenly Witch Goddess from bygone days. Where did he learn this? Or does he have any connection with the ancient Moon Clan?" (To be continued...)
Lin Xuan's face showed a hint of surprise.
In the next moment, these two clashed violently.

A crimson aura surged like a surging tide, swallowing the sharp sword light.
