“ méi yǒu shén me ， bù guò shì ràng nǐ zì shí è guǒ 。@.23x.”
“没有什么，不过是让你自食恶果。@.23x.”
"Nothing, just reaping what you sow," Lin Xuan said with a faint hint of mockery. "The域外天魔 wasn't all that impressive, was he? He started a war in our Three Realms and treated humans like ants. Low-grade cultivators are nothing more than grass to you. You almost destroyed the city and nearly killed my disciple."
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān ， dài zhe dàn dàn de cháo fěng zhī sè ：“ yù wài tiān mó bú shì hěn liǎo bù qǐ me ， zài wǒ men sān jiè zhī zhōng diǎn rán zhàn huǒ ， shì fán rén rú lóu yǐ ， dī jiē xiū shì zài nǐ men yǎn lǐ ， yě bù guò cǎo jiè yì bān de dōng xī ， hǎo hǎo de yī zuò chéng chí ， bèi nǐ men yí wéi píng dì ， lín mǒu de tú ér ， jī hū sǐ zài nǐ de shǒu lǐ 。”
林轩的嘴角边，带着淡淡的嘲讽之色：“域外天魔不是很了不起么，在我们三界之中点燃战火，视凡人如蝼蚁，低阶修士在你们眼里，也不过草芥一般的东西，好好的一座城池，被你们夷为平地，林某的徒儿，几乎死在你的手里。”
"Think you're strong, do you? Very well, I'll let you fall into the hands of ordinary mortals."
“ nǐ rèn wéi zì jǐ hěn qiáng shì bú shì ， hǎo ， wǒ jiù yào nǐ yǔn luò zài fán rén de shǒu lǐ 。”
“你认为自己很强是不是，好，我就要你陨落在凡人的手里。”
"Foolish," said the bald demon sovereign's voice. "I'm a mid-stage渡劫 cultivator. You can kill me, but how could an ordinary mortal have such power?"
“ huāng miù ， wǒ shì dù jié zhōng qī de qiáng zhě ， nǐ kě yǐ shā wǒ ， pǔ tōng de fán rén ， zěn me kě néng yǒu zhè yàng de lì liàng ne ？”
“荒谬，我是渡劫中期的强者，你可以杀我，普通的凡人，怎么可能有这样的力量呢？”
The bald demon sovereign's voice entered Lin Xuan's ears. Even with his physical strength, he couldn't be harmed by ordinary mortals or even low-grade cultivators.
guāng tóu mó zūn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǐ tā de ròu shēn qiáng dù ， bié shuō pǔ tōng de fán rén wú kě nài hé ， jiù suàn shì jìng jiè shāo dī yì diǎn de xiū xiān zhě ， yì shì shāng bù liǎo tā fēn háo de 。
光头魔尊的声音传入耳朵，以他的肉身强度，别说普通的凡人无可奈何，就算是境界稍低一点的修仙者，亦是伤不了他分毫的。
"Is that so?" Lin Xuan didn't argue further. "Seeing your confidence, let’s make a bet."
“ shì me ？” lín xuān què méi yǒu yǔ tā duō zuò zhēng biàn ：“ kàn nǐ xìn xīn shí zú ， nà wǒ men bù fáng dǎ yí gè dǔ 。”
“是么？”林轩却没有与他多做争辩：“看你信心十足，那我们不妨打一个赌。”
Before the words left his mouth, Lin Xuan's voice echoed far and wide: "Mortals below, listen up! This demon is from beyond our Three Realms; he destroyed your city and killed your loved ones. Now that my power has been nullified, seek revenge if you wish."
huà yīn wèi luò ， lín xuān de shēng yīn yǐ yuǎn yuǎn chuán kāi le ：“ xià miàn de fán rén tīng zhe ， zhè jiā huo nǎi shì yù wài tiān mó ， nǐ men de chéng chí ， jiù shì bèi tā huǐ qù ， nǐ men de qīn rén ， yě shì sǐ zài tā de shǒu lǐ ， rú jīn tā de fǎ lì ， yǐ bèi lín mǒu fèi chú ， xiǎng bào chóu de ， jiù qù zhǎo tā hǎo le 。”
话音未落，林轩的声音已远远传开了：“下面的凡人听着，这家伙乃是域外天魔，你们的城池，就是被他毁去，你们的亲人，也是死在他的手里，如今他的法力，已被林某废除，想报仇的，就去找他好了。”
Lin Xuan’s voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly within a hundred miles.
lín xuān de shēng yīn bù dà ， dàn fāng yuán bǎi lǐ ， dōu kě yǐ tīng dé qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
林轩的声音不大，但方圆百里，都可以听得清清楚楚。
Soon, some mortals emerged.
hěn kuài ， jiù yǒu yī xiē fán rén mào chū lái le 。
很快，就有一些凡人冒出来了。
The entire city had been destroyed by the aftermath of their battle, with most souls already in the underworld. But there were always lucky ones.
zhěng zuò chéng chí ， dōu huǐ yú gāng gāng dòu fǎ de yú bō ， dà bù fèn rén ， yě hún guī dì fǔ ， dàn zhè me dà yī zuò chéng chí ， zǒng bù fá xìng yùn zhě 。
整座城池，都毁于刚刚斗法的余波，大部分人，也魂归地府，但这么大一座城池，总不乏幸运者。
Survivors crawled out from the ruins—hundreds of them. They still feared the ferocious demon from beyond the Three Realms, for cultivators were always seen as high and mighty to them. Moreover, they had witnessed this guy's abilities firsthand; he was almost like a deity in their eyes. Who would dare seek revenge?
xìng cún de rén ， cóng fèi xū zhōng mào chū 。
幸存的人，从废墟中冒出。
Most hesitated, but there was one bold young man who approached. He was a sturdy-looking youth around twenty years old.
zú yǒu jìn qiān zhī shù 。
足有近千之数。
He was the son of an ironworker from the eastern part of the city.
kàn zhe zhēng níng de yù wài tiān mó ， hái shì yǒu yī xiē wèi jù 。
看着狰狞的域外天魔，还是有一些畏惧。
"My parents are dead. You, this despicable demon from beyond the Three Realms, enjoy killing innocents. I will fight to my death today."
bì jìng xiū xíng zhě zài tā men de yǎn lǐ ， dōu shì gāo gāo zài shàng dì 。
毕竟修行者在他们的眼里，都是高高在上地。
The young man gritted his teeth and pulled out a large hammer from the ruins—his tool for making a living. He now used it with all his might, aiming at the bald demon sovereign.
hé kuàng yǎn qián zhè jiā huo de shén tōng ， tā men qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， jiǎn zhí yǔ chuán shuō zhōng de shén líng chà bu duō 。
何况眼前这家伙的神通，他们亲眼目睹，简直与传说中的神灵差不多。
The demon was furious. A mere mortal dared to attack him! Although he couldn't use his powers, he didn’t take this sturdy youth seriously.
zhǎo tā bào fù ， shuí yǒu zhè ge dǎn zi ne ？
找他报复，谁有这个胆子呢？
He prepared to strike.
dà bù fèn rén dōu zài yóu yù wēi suō ， dàn zǒng yǒu dǎn dà de ， yī shēn cái zhuàng shí de nián qīng rén pǎo guò lái le 。 èr shí yú suì nián jì ， hěn shì dūn hòu de yàng zi 。
大部分人都在犹豫微缩，但总有胆大的，一身材壮实的年轻人跑过来了。二十余岁年纪，很是敦厚的样子。
But as his right hand rose, he found himself unable to move.
shì chéng dōng tiě jiàng de ér zi 。
是城东铁匠的儿子。
A strange force seemed to lock him in place.
“ wǒ de diē niáng dōu sǐ le ， nǐ zhè kě wù de yù wài tiān mó ， zhè me xǐ huān làn shā wú gū ， wǒ jīn tiān jiù suàn shì hún guī dì fǔ ， yě yào yǔ nǐ pīn le 。”
“我的爹娘都死了，你这可恶的域外天魔，这么喜欢滥杀无辜，我今天就算是魂归地府，也要与你拼了。”
Boom!
nà nián qīng nán zi yǎo yá qiè chǐ ， cóng fèi xū zhōng tuō chū yī dà tiě chuí ， nà shì tā yòng lái dǎ tiě móu shēng de gōng jù ， cǐ shí què pīn jǐn quán bù de lì liàng ， xiàng guāng tóu mó zūn zá qù 。
那年轻男子咬牙切齿，从废墟中拖出一大铁锤，那是他用来打铁谋生的工具，此时却拼尽全部的力量，像光头魔尊砸去。
A dull sound reached their ears—Lin Xuan’s hammer had struck the demon with full force. Though not killed, the demon's vision blurred with stars. His physical strength was now weaker than a low-grade cultivator.
cǐ mó zì rán dà nù 。 zhēn shì hǔ luò píng yáng bèi quǎn qī ， qū qū yí gè fán rén yě gǎn lái dǎ zì jǐ 。
此魔自然大怒。真是虎落平阳被犬欺，区区一个凡人也敢来打自己。
"The Immortal did not deceive us. This guy can no longer be fierce."
suī rán bù néng shī zhǎn fǎ lì ， tā yě méi jiāng zhè dūn hòu shào nián fàng zài yǎn lǐ 。
虽然不能施展法力，他也没将这敦厚少年放在眼里。
The other mortals rejoiced. Their loved ones were dead and their homes destroyed by the demon from beyond the Three Realms. They had to seek revenge.
biàn yào yī zhǎng dǎ qù 。
便要一掌打去。
They rushed forward, fists raining down. Some even picked up broken stones and debris.
kě yòu shǒu gāng gāng tái qǐ ， jiù fā xiàn dòng tán bù dé 。
可右手刚刚抬起，就发现动弹不得。
Pang! Pang! Pang!
fǎng fú bèi yī gǔ qí yì de fǎ zé zhī lì gěi suǒ zhù 。
仿佛被一股奇异的法则之力给锁住。
The sound of blows filled their ears, along with the bald demon sovereign's cries for mercy.
hōng ！
轰！
He was truly humiliated. He was a mid-stage渡劫 cultivator; mortals were ants to him, let alone daoists at the洞玄分神 stage. When had he imagined himself in this situation?
yī shēng mèn xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì bèi tiě chuí gěi jié jiē shí shí de zá zhōng le 。
一声闷响传入耳朵，却是被铁锤给结结实实的砸中了。
Why couldn't he move? Why could his power not be condensed? Why was his body weakening...
suī rán méi yǒu yǔn luò ， què yě yǎn mào jīn xīng ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā de ròu shēn qiáng dù ， lián yī zhù jī jí bié de xiū shì dōu bù rú 。
虽然没有陨落，却也眼冒金星，此时此刻，他的肉身强度，连一筑基级别的修士都不如。
Too many regrets, but now they were useless. Shangguan also stared wide-eyed, even the proud Ice Phoenix showed admiration.
“ shàng xiān méi yǒu piàn wǒ men 。 zhè jiā huo guǒ rán bù néng zài chěng xiōng le 。”
“上仙没有骗我们。这家伙果然不能再逞凶了。”
Impressive.
qí tā de fán rén bù yóu de dà xǐ ， tā men de qīn rén kě dōu yǐ jīng sǐ qù ， jiā yuán yě huǐ zài le yù wài tiān mó de shǒu lǐ 。
其他的凡人不由得大喜，他们的亲人可都已经死去，家园也毁在了域外天魔的手里。
A mid-stage渡劫 demon from beyond the Three Realms was played like a puppet by Lin Xuan.
rú jīn jiàn duì fāng biàn chéng le zhǐ lǎo hǔ ， nǎ ér yǒu bù bào chóu yī shuō 。
如今见对方变成了纸老虎，哪儿有不报仇一说。
The scene was too shocking to believe.
fēn fēn pū guò qù le 。
纷纷扑过去了。
Indeed, it was shocking!
yī shí jiān quán tou yǒu rú yǔ diǎn 。 hái yǒu rén shùn shǒu jiǎn qǐ suì shí wǎ lì 。
一时间拳头有如雨点。还有人顺手拣起碎石瓦砾。
Lin Xuan’s displayed strength was incomparable. As the sound of blows continued, the bald demon sovereign's last breath left him, his eyes still wide open in disbelief.
pēng pēng pēng de shēng yīn bù jué yú ěr duǒ ， jiā zá zhe guāng tóu mó zūn de cǎn hū 。
嘭嘭嘭的声音不绝于耳朵，夹杂着光头魔尊的惨呼。
It was understandable.
tā shì zhēn de biē qū yǐ jí ， zì jǐ kě shì dù jié zhōng qī ， bié shuō xiǎo xiǎo de fán rén shì lóu yǐ 。 jiù suàn dòng xuán fēn shén qī de xiū xiān zhě zài tā yǎn lǐ yě bù zhí yī tí ， shén me shí hòu xiǎng guò zì jǐ huì luò dào zhè bān jìng dì 。
他是真的憋屈以极，自己可是渡劫中期，别说小小的凡人是蝼蚁。就算洞玄分神期的修仙者在他眼里也不值一提，什么时候想过自己会落到这般境地。
Across the Three Realms and through history, he was one of the most disgraced demons from beyond the Three Realms to fall at the hands of ordinary mortals.
kě wù ， wèi shén me dòng tán bù dé 。 wèi shén me fǎ lì wú fǎ níng gù ， wèi shén me zì jǐ de shēn tǐ huì biàn ruò ……
可恶，为什么动弹不得。为什么法力无法凝固，为什么自己的身体会变弱……
If not for witnessing it with their own eyes, even the four girls would have found it hard to believe.
tài duō tài duō de bù gān ， dàn zhè shí hòu dōu méi yǒu le yòng chǔ ， shàng guān yě dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， biàn shì nà jiāo ào de bīng fèng ， liǎn shàng yì liú lù chū pèi fú 。
太多太多的不甘，但这时候都没有了用处，上官也瞪大了眼珠，便是那骄傲的冰凤，脸上亦流露出佩服。
"Master is truly amazing."
tài liǎo bù qǐ le 。
太了不起了。
Shangguan Yan’s expression was filled with admiration. "Of course, daring to bully my disciple is asking for death. Killing him outright was too lenient. How did you feel, Yan-er?"
táng táng dù jié zhōng qī de tiān mó ， zài lín xuān shǒu lǐ què yǒu rú tǔ jī wǎ gǒu shì de 。
堂堂渡劫中期的天魔，在林轩手里却有如土鸡瓦狗似的。
Lin Xuan had done this to avenge his disciple.
bèi wán nòng yú gǔ zhǎng zhī jiān 。
被玩弄于鼓掌之间。
"Thank you, Master. You treat us so well."
yào zhī dào ， yǐ lín xuān de shí lì ， dǎ bài duì fāng bù nán ， dàn zhè yàng de chǎng miàn ， tài zhèn hàn 。
要知道，以林轩的实力，打败对方不难，但这样的场面，太震撼。
The sisters spoke in unison, their faces filled with gratitude. Even the aloof Ice Phoenix showed a hint of envy.
méi cuò ， zhèn hàn ！
没错，震撼！
She was a rising star in Black Phoenix Valley and her master treated her well. But if she were bullied outside, her master would never retaliate like this.
lín xuān zhǎn shì chū lái de shí lì ， jiǎn zhí shì wú fǎ bǐ nǐ 。
林轩展示出来的实力，简直是无法比拟。
Shangguan Ling and Shangguan Yan were indeed fortunate to have such a kind master. As for Ruoxuan, though a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, her expression was carefree.
ér bàn suí zhe pēng pēng pēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr lǐ ， nà guāng tóu mó zūn yě yàn xià le zuì hòu yì kǒu qì 。
而伴随着嘭嘭嘭的声音传入耳里，那光头魔尊也咽下了最后一口气。
Each had their own destiny. She believed in relying on herself more than anything else. Her master’s affection meant nothing; she would one day reach Lin Xuan's level and then reign supreme across the Three Realms.
yǎn jīng què dèng dé dà dà de 。
眼睛却瞪得大大的。
"Master, how did you do it? He is a mid-stage渡劫 cultivator, yet you managed to weaken him so much."
zhè yě shì nán guài de 。
这也是难怪的。
Shangguan Ling's voice was curious. She had a strong thirst for knowledge.
fàng yǎn sān jiè ， zòng héng jīn gǔ ， tā kě yǐ shuō shì sǐ dé zuì yù mèn de yù wài tiān mó ， táng táng dù jié qī gāo shǒu ， què zài yī qún fán rén de shǒu xià yǔn luò 。
放眼三界，纵横今古，他可以说是死得最郁闷的域外天魔，堂堂渡劫期高手，却在一群凡人的手下陨落。
"There’s nothing impressive about it. In my domain, I make the rules. If one day you become a domain master, you can do the same," Lin Xuan said with a smile. "Of course, that requires understanding the chaos法则."
ruò fēi qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， sì gè yā tou yě nán yǐ zhì xìn de 。
若非亲眼目睹，四个丫头也难以置信的。
"Oh!"
“ shī fù jiǎn zhí tài lì hài le 。”
“师傅简直太厉害了。”
The girls didn’t fully understand but their strength was far greater than theirs; domains were still distant, and they had never heard of the chaos法则.
shàng guān yàn de biǎo qíng chú le pèi fú hái shì pèi fú 。
上官雁的表情除了佩服还是佩服。
But they admired Lin Xuan even more.
“ nà shì ， gǎn qī fù wǒ tú dì ， jiǎn zhí shì zhǎo sǐ ， yī dāo jiāng tā miè chú ， yě tài pián yi le ， zěn me yàng yàn ér ， qì chū le méi yǒu ？”
“那是，敢欺负我徒弟，简直是找死，一刀将他灭除，也太便宜了，怎么样雁儿，气出了没有？”
"By the way, you came here for something important, right? What is it?"
gǎn qíng lín xuān zhè me zuò ， shì wèi le tì tú ér chū qì bào chóu 。
感情林轩这么做，是为了替徒儿出气报仇。
Lin Xuan felt a bit absurd asking this. He could guess that they were sent by his avatar to complete a task, but now that he was here, he still had no idea what it was about.
“ xiè xiè shī fù ， nín dài wǒ men ， jiǎn zhí tài hǎo le 。”
“谢谢师傅，您待我们，简直太好了。”
"Master, it's like this..."
jiě mèi liǎ yì kǒu tóng shēng de shuō ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì gǎn dòng zhī sè ， biàn shì nà gāo ào bù hé qún de bīng fèng xiān zi ， yǎn shén zhī zhōng ， jìng yě yǒu jǐ fēn xiàn mù 。
姐妹俩异口同声的说，脸上满是感动之色，便是那高傲不合群的冰凤仙子，眼神之中，竟也有几分羡慕。
The girls didn't hide anything and Shangguan sisters explained the situation clearly.
kě bú shì me ……
可不是么……
(To be continued...)
"Nothing, just reaping what you sow," Lin Xuan said with a faint hint of mockery. "The域外天魔 wasn't all that impressive, was he? He started a war in our Three Realms and treated humans like ants.
