shì rú pò zhú ！
势如破竹！
The momentum was unstoppable!
suǒ wèi de dì yī mó zūn miàn duì lín xuān sān rén lián shǒu jiǎn zhí rú qiè dòu fǔ ， bù shuō sī háo fǎn kàng zhī lì yě wú ， dàn xíng mào yě shì láng bèi dào jí chù 。[..com
所谓的第一魔尊面对林轩三人联手简直如切豆腐，不说丝毫反抗之力也无，但形貌也是狼狈到极处。[..com
The so-called First Demon Sovereign faced Lin Xuan and his two companions, as if cutting through tofu. He showed no resistance at all, but his appearance was in a state of extreme disarray. [.com
zhōu wéi de yù wài tiān mó kàn dé shì chēng mù jié shé ， mó yán chéng zhǔ de shí lì tā men xīn zhōng qīng chǔ ， zěn me huì tū rán jiān méi yòng dào rú cǐ dì bù ？
周围的域外天魔看得是瞠目结舌，魔岩城主的实力他们心中清楚，怎么会突然间没用到如此地步？
The域外天魔 surrounding him were dumbfounded. They knew the power of the Demon Rock City Lord; how could he suddenly become so ineffective?
tā biàn ruò le ？
他变弱了？
Had he weakened?
míng xiǎn shì bù kě néng de 。
明显是不可能的。
That was clearly impossible.
nà dá àn jiù zhǐ shèng xià yí gè 。
那答案就只剩下一个。
So the only answer left was that this intruder's strength was off the charts!
zhè chuǎng rù zhě de shí lì qiáng dé lí pǔ ！
这闯入者的实力强得离谱！
All the域外天魔 were warriors, but they relied on overpowering weaker opponents. Now they themselves were fish for the chopping block, and no one wanted to die needlessly.
yù wài tiān mó jiē shì hào zhàn zhī tú ， dàn jiǎng jiū de shì chí qiáng líng ruò ， rú jīn wǒ wèi yú ròu ， rén zuò dāo zǔ ， tā men kě méi yǒu xìng qù qù bái bái sòng sǐ shén me 。
域外天魔皆是好战之徒，但讲究的是持强凌弱，如今我为鱼肉，人做刀俎，他们可没有兴趣去白白送死什么。
It would be foolish to try their luck against a rock with an egg.
jī dàn pèng shí tou ， shǎ guā cái zhè me zuò 。
鸡蛋碰石头，傻瓜才这么做。
Thus, not only did no one come to aid the Demon Rock City Lord, but even the other Demon Sovereigns began to look around, quietly seeking escape routes.
gù ér bù jǐn méi yǒu rén shàng lái bāng zhù mó yán chéng zhǔ ， nà xiē mó zūn fǎn ér yóu mù sì gù ， qiǎo rán xún zhǎo zháo táo pǎo zhī lù 。
故而不仅没有人上来帮助魔岩城主，那些魔尊反而游目四顾，悄然寻找着逃跑之路。
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter!
shù dǎo hú sūn sàn ！
树倒猢狲散！
Even if Voidless Demon Monarch knew about this, he would merely punish them. The fate of those who stayed was certain death. How could these cunning域外天魔 not know how to choose?
lín zhèn tuō táo xū wú mó jūn zhī dào le yě bù guò zé fá yī fān ， ér liú zài zhè lǐ de xià chǎng zé shì zhè bǎi fēn zhī bǎi yǔn luò ， gāi zěn me xuǎn zé ， zhè xiē jiǎo huá de yù wài tiān mó yòu zěn me huì bù zhī dào rú hé qǔ shě 。
临阵脱逃虚无魔君知道了也不过责罚一番，而留在这里的下场则是这百分之百陨落，该怎么选择，这些狡猾的域外天魔又怎么会不知道如何取舍。
So while Lin Xuan appeared to be deep inside their main stronghold, in reality, the number of域外天魔 facing him wasn't many.
yú shì biǎo miàn shàng lín xuān shì shēn rù duì fāng zǒng duò ， shí jì shàng tā suǒ miàn lín de yù wài tiān mó bìng bù duō 。
于是表面上林轩是深入对方总舵，实际上他所面临的域外天魔并不多。
But that didn't mean his bravery was commendable. With his extensive experience in combat, he knew all too well the dangers of overconfidence.
dàn huà shì zhè yàng méi cuò ， cǐ dǎn liàng yě zhe shí lìng rén pèi fú 。
但话是这样没错，此胆量也着实令人佩服。
His sudden assault had revealed an overwhelmingly powerful strength, leaving the demon leaders stunned. But if they recovered and launched a full-scale attack, it would be difficult to handle.
ér yǐ lín xuān dòu fǎ jīng yàn zhī fēng fù ， zì rán gèng míng bái shén me jiào zuò yè cháng mèng duō 。
而以林轩斗法经验之丰富，自然更明白什么叫做夜长梦多。
In short, he must remain cautious and quickly finish off the Demon Rock City Lord here.
rú jīn zì jǐ yī fān tū xí ， suǒ zhǎn shì chū lái de jué qiáng shí lì ， ràng zhòng mó tóu dāi ruò mù jī ， dàn tā men ruò fǎn yìng guò lái ， yī yōng ér shàng ， nà yě shì bù hǎo duì fù dì 。
如今自己一番突袭，所展示出来的绝强实力，让众魔头呆若木鸡，但他们若反应过来，一拥而上，那也是不好对付地。
Thoughts raced through his mind as a killing intent emanated from Lin Xuan's body. His sleeves fluttered, and silver light erupted. The Nine Palaces Mustache Sword vanished in the dazzling glow.
zǒng ér yán zhī ， zì jǐ bì xū xiǎo xīn zài yì ， kuài dāo zhǎn luàn má de jiāng mó yán chéng zhǔ miè shā yú zhè lǐ 。
总而言之，自己必须小心在意，快刀斩乱麻的将魔岩城主灭杀于这里。
It was extremely strange!
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， yǐn rán yǒu shā qì cóng lín xuān shēn tǐ biǎo miàn pēn bó ， suí hòu tā xiù páo yī wǔ ， yín guāng dà zuò ， màn tiān fēi wǔ de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn què zài cuǐ càn de guāng huá zhōng xiāo shī diào le 。
脑海中念头转过，隐然有杀气从林轩身体表面喷薄，随后他袖袍一舞，银光大做，漫天飞舞的九宫须臾剑却在璀璨的光华中消失掉了。
The face of the Rock Demon Sovereign showed fear, and he suddenly took off to one side.
guǐ yì yǐ jí ！
诡异以极！
Not retreating, but turning to flee.
nà yán shí mó zūn de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī jù yì ， hún shēn jīng máng yì qǐ ， jiù cháo zhe xié cì lǐ fēi qù 。
那岩石魔尊的脸上闪过一丝惧意，浑身精芒一起，就朝着斜刺里飞去。
No… He seemed to be trying to join with the other two Demon Sovereigns. What was his goal?
bú shì tuì bì 。 ér shì diào tóu táo zǒu 。
不是退避。而是掉头逃走。
Lin Xuan didn't know or care about that. The most important thing was not letting them escape.
yě bú duì …… sì hū shì xiǎng yào yǔ lìng wài liǎng wèi mó zūn huì hé ， tā de mù dì jiū jìng shì shén me ？
也不对……似乎是想要与另外两位魔尊汇合，他的目的究竟是什么？
"Come when you want and leave whenever you please! A true First Demon Sovereign is as timid as a mouse, truly making one laugh until their belly splits!"
lín xuān bù xiǎo de ， yě méi yǒu xìng qù qù shēn jiū shén me ， zǒng ér yán zhī ， bù néng ràng duì fāng cóng zì jǐ de yǎn pí dǐ xià táo tuō 。
林轩不晓得，也没有兴趣去深究什么，总而言之，不能让对方从自己的眼皮底下逃脱。
With mocking laughter in his ears, Lin Xuan raised his right hand, and silver light surged forth. A lifelike dragon appeared before him.
“ xiǎng lái jiù lái ， xiǎng zǒu jiù zuò ， táng táng dì yī mó zūn jū rán dǎn xiǎo rú shǔ ， zhēn shì lìng rén jiāng dù pí yě yào xiào pò ！”
“想来就来，想走就做，堂堂第一魔尊居然胆小如鼠，真是令人将肚皮也要笑破！”
He wrapped it around his arm. With both hands clasped in front of his chest, he opened them wide as if a giant dragon's gaping maw, revealing sharp teeth. A dazzling silver beam shot out from within.
bàn suí zhe cháo fěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān yòu shǒu yī tái ， dùn shí yín guāng dà zuò 。 xǔ xǔ rú shēng de zhēn lóng xū yǐng zài lín xuān shēn qián fú xiàn ér chū 。
伴随着嘲讽的声音传入耳朵，林轩右手一抬，顿时银光大做。栩栩如生的真龙虚影在林轩身前浮现而出。
It vanished instantly!
suí hòu jiāng lín xuān de shǒu bì chán rào zhù 。
随后将林轩的手臂缠绕住。
In the next moment, spatial ripples surged, and the silver light burst forth in mid-air.
lín xuān liǎng shǒu zài xiōng qián yī hé ， shǒu zhǎng zhāng kāi ， jiù rú tóng jù lóng zhāng kāi xuè pén dà zuǐ ， liáo yá wài lù ， yī dào yào mù de yín máng cóng lǐ miàn pēn yǒng ér chū 。
林轩两手在胸前一合，手掌张开，就如同巨龙张开血盆大嘴，獠牙外露，一道耀目的银芒从里面喷涌而出。
There was no warning at all.
yī shǎn jí shì ！
一闪即逝！
The Rock Demon Sovereign tried to dodge but it was too late. The silver beam pierced through his back and chest.
xià yī kè ， kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ ， nà yín máng zài xū kōng zhōng sà rán zhàn fàng ér chū 。
下一刻，空间波动骤起，那银芒在虚空中飒然绽放而出。
Then the silver light split apart, transforming into an endless shower of swords that dismembered him instantly.
shì xiān fēn háo zhēng zhào yě wú 。
事先分毫征兆也无。
With a blood-curdling scream, large patches of blood rained down from the sky.
yán shí mó zūn xiǎng duǒ ， dàn yǐ jīng lái bù jí 。
岩石魔尊想躲，但已经来不及。
Meanwhile, in the other two battlefields, the outcome was decided almost simultaneously. Little Butterfly Moon dealt with her targets efficiently, and both the Lizard Demon Sovereign and the four-armed Demon Sovereign fell at the same time.
cóng hòu bèi zhì xiōng táng guàn chuān le qù 。
从后背至胸膛贯穿了去。
They were formidable indeed.
suí hòu nà yín máng shǎn kāi ， què yòu huà zuò liǎo wú jǐn de jiàn yǔ 。 zòng héng bǎi hé ， zhuǎn shùn jiān jiù jiāng tā wǔ mǎ fēn shī diào le 。
随后那银芒闪开，却又化作了无尽的剑雨。纵横捭阖，转瞬间就将他五马分尸掉了。
But Lin Xuan felt a strange sensation. This Demon Rock City Lord's reputation didn't match his actual strength.
bàn suí zhe cǎn hū ， dà piàn xuè yǔ cóng tiān kōng zhōng sǎ luò 。
伴随着惨呼，大片血雨从天空中洒落。
Was it because he was too strong?
ér lìng wài liǎng chù zhàn jú ， jī hū shì zài tóng yī shí jiān fēn chū le shèng fù 。 yuè ér xiǎo dié xià shǒu nà yě shì gān jìng lì luò ， xī yì mó zūn hé nà shuāng tóu sì bì de mó zūn jī hū shì zài tóng yī shí jiān yǔn luò 。
而另外两处战局，几乎是在同一时间分出了胜负。月儿小蝶下手那也是干净利落，蜥蜴魔尊和那双头四臂的魔尊几乎是在同一时间陨落。
No!
biāo hàn shì wéi yī de xíng róng 。
彪悍是唯一的形容。
The correct answer was that he appeared weaker than he actually was.
rán ér lín xuān què yǒu yī zhǒng huāng miù de gǎn chù 。
然而林轩却有一种荒谬的感触。
Take the Rock Demon Sovereign for example; even compared to ordinary late-stage Golden Transformation cultivators, he seemed slightly inferior.
zhè wèi mó yán chéng zhǔ shèng míng zhī xià qí shí bù fú 。
这位魔岩城主盛名之下其实不符。
Logically speaking, as the First Demon Sovereign, he should be a realm-level powerhouse at least.
shì zì jǐ tài qiáng le ？
是自己太强了？
But after so long of combat, there had been no trace of his realm power revealed from start to finish until his final defeat. What was going on?
bù ！
不！
Lin Xuan was puzzled but didn't dwell too much on it. Regardless, his mission had succeeded. He not only eliminated the Demon Rock City Lord but also took down over twenty Demon Sovereigns in total.
zhèng què de jiǎng shì tā gěi rén de gǎn jué tài ruò 。
正确的讲是他给人的感觉太弱。
It far exceeded expectations.
jiù ná nà yán shí mó zūn lái shuō ， bǐ zhī pǔ tōng de dù jié hòu qī xiū shì ， sì hū dōu shāo yǒu bù rú 。
就拿那岩石魔尊来说，比之普通的渡劫后期修士，似乎都稍有不如。
So why worry about this now?
àn lǐ 。 tā jì rán hào chēng dì yī mó zūn ， zhì shǎo yě yīng gāi shì lǐng yù jí bié de qiáng zhě 。
按理。他既然号称第一魔尊，至少也应该是领域级别的强者。
The remaining choices were two: either stay and expand his gains or leave during the chaos.
kě dòu fǎ zhè me jiǔ le ， cóng kāi shǐ dào jiāng tā miè chú 。 nǎ ér yǒu fēn háo lǐng yù xiǎn xiàn guò 。
可斗法这么久了，从开始到将他灭除。哪儿有分毫领域显现过。
Lin Xuan preferred the former.
zhè jiū jìng shì zěn me yī huí shì ne ？
这究竟是怎么一回事呢？
After all, the域外天魔 had been reduced to a state of fear at the mere mention. This was an excellent time to reap what they sowed.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yí huò ， dàn yě méi yǒu xiǎng tài duō 。
林轩心中疑惑，但也没有想太多。
A golden opportunity should not be missed. But just as he was about to act, something unexpected happened.
bù guǎn rú hé ， zì jǐ cǐ xíng de mù dì shì dá dào le ， bù jǐn jiāng mó yán chéng zhǔ miè chú ， qián hòu yǔn luò zài zì jǐ shǒu zhōng de mó zūn yě yǒu èr sān shí rén zhī duō 。
不管如何，自己此行的目的是达到了，不仅将魔岩城主灭除，前后陨落在自己手中的魔尊也有二三十人之多。
The three Demon Sovereigns who were supposedly defeated each emitted a beam of light from their bodies that merged into one. A surge of demonic energy and astonishing spiritual pressure enveloped the sky.
kě yǐ shuō ， yuǎn chāo yù qī 。
可以说，远超预期。
This spiritual pressure far exceeded what they had earlier and surpassed ordinary late-stage Golden Transformation cultivators by a wide margin, almost rivaling the legendary Treasure Snake from years ago.
jì rán rú cǐ ， yòu hé bì jiū jié zhè ge wèn tí 。
既然如此，又何必纠结这个问题。
A realm-level powerhouse!
xiàn zài de xuǎn zé ， shèng xià liǎng gè ， yào me liú zài zhè lǐ ， jì xù kuò dà zhàn guǒ ， yào me ， jiù chèn luàn lí kāi cǐ chù 。
现在的选择，剩下两个，要么留在这里，继续扩大战果，要么，就趁乱离开此处。
There was no doubt about it. Lin Xuan's expression grew serious as he stared at the gathering demonic energy in mid-air.
ér lín xuān bǐ jiào qīng xiàng yú qián zhě 。
而林轩比较倾向于前者。
Then a massive monster appeared in his sight.
bì jìng ， jīng guò zhè yī lián chuàn de dǎ jī ， yù wài tiān mó yǐ dào le wén fēng sàng dǎn de jìng dì ， zhè shí hòu ， xiǎn rán shí fēn de shì hé huǒ zhōng qǔ lì 。
毕竟，经过这一连串的打击，域外天魔已到了闻风丧胆的境地，这时候，显然十分的适合火中取栗。
Indeed, it was a monster, and its size was immense, exceeding ten zhang (about 30 feet). Its lower half was entirely black. No, that wasn't human; it looked like a giant scorpion instead.
liáng jī bù róng cuò guò ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yì biàn tū qǐ 。
良机不容错过，然而就在这时，异变突起。
And he had multiple tails, dancing gracefully in mid-air, each carrying a deadly poison. Their volume resembled massive battle axes.
nà sān míng mó zūn míng míng yǐ bèi miè chú ， kě cóng tā men de shēn tǐ lǐ ， què fēn bié fēi chū yī dào guāng shù 。
那三名魔尊明明已被灭除，可从他们的身体里，却分别飞出一道光束。
His upper body was humanoid but incredibly strong, with muscles bulging. He held a weapon similar to a wolf's club.
suí hòu hé ér wéi yī ， bàn suí zhe gǔn gǔn de mó qì , jīng rén de líng yā fù gài zài le tiān jì 。
随后合而为一，伴随着滚滚的魔气,惊人的灵压覆盖在了天际。
"Who are you?"
nà líng yā yuǎn shèng gāng gāng xǔ duō ， zǎo yǐ chāo guò le pǔ tōng dù jié hòu qī de chéng dù ， jī hū néng yǔ dāng nián de bǎo shé fēn tíng kàng lǐ 。
那灵压远胜刚刚许多，早已超过了普通渡劫后期的程度，几乎能与当年的宝蛇分庭抗礼。
"Haha, little Lin, thank you for helping me disengage from my cultivation. Otherwise, I wouldn't have reached the pinnacle of this strange technique."
lǐng yù qiáng zhě ！
领域强者！
The colossal figure laughed as he spoke, radiating joy.
zhè yì diǎn jué wú kě yí 。
这一点绝无可疑。
Needless to say, it was the Demon Rock City Lord.
lín xuān de liǎn sè yě biàn dé níng zhòng wú bǐ ， dīng zhe bàn kōng zhōng nà zhèng zài huì jù de mó qì 。
林轩的脸色也变得凝重无比，盯着半空中那正在汇聚的魔气。
As they say, a reputation doesn't lie; his First Demon Sovereign title wasn't an empty one.
suí hòu yī jù dà de guài wù chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
随后一巨大的怪物出现在了视线里。
His earlier performance didn't match because he was in the middle of refining a strange technique. This method was extremely peculiar, requiring him to split himself into three parts during cultivation, but each part was still his true self.
méi cuò ， zhèng shì guài wù ， ér qiě tǐ xíng páng bó ， shēn cháng chāo guò le shí zhàng yǒu yú ， xià bàn jié shēn tǐ jū rán shì chún hēi sè dì ， bù ， nà bú shì rén lèi de shēn tǐ ， kàn shàng qù ， jiù yǔ yī tóu xiē zi xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
没错，正是怪物，而且体型磅礴，身长超过了十丈有余，下半截身体居然是纯黑色地，不，那不是人类的身体，看上去，就与一头蝎子相差仿佛。
表面上看，数量增加了，但实力却会因此大受影响，可以说是骤降。
ér tā de wěi ba ， jū rán yǒu shù tiáo zhī duō ， zài bàn kōng zhōng xú xú fēi wǔ ， dài zhe jù dú ， tǐ jī què xiàng shì yī bǐng jù dà de zhàn fǔ 。
而他的尾巴，居然有数条之多，在半空中徐徐飞舞，带着剧毒，体积却像是一柄巨大的战斧。
而这仅仅是第一步。随后又需要将分出来的三具身体合二为一。这一步极其危险，稍有不慎就有可能以失败告终。而失败的后果，轻则修为大损，重则走火入魔。
ér tā de shàng bàn jié shēn tǐ ， zé yǔ rén lèi wú yì ， dàn qiáng zhuàng yǐ jí ， jī ròu gāo gāo bēn qǐ ， shǒu zhōng ná zhe yī bǐng lèi sì láng yá bàng de bīng qì 。
而他的上半截身体，则与人类无异，但强壮以极，肌肉高高贲起，手中拿着一柄类似狼牙棒的兵器。
他原本正在关键时刻修炼，但林 Xuan 却闯了进来。手下的Demon Sovereign们也不争气，这么多人居然被林 Xuan 打得毫无还手之力，几乎到了崩溃边缘。
“ nǐ shì ……”
“你是……”
作为虚无魔君的心腹，又是围攻云隐宗的主要策划者，Demon Rock City Lord自然不可能视而不见，无奈之下只好暂停修炼出来与林 Xuan 拼命。
The momentum was unstoppable!
The so-called First Demon Sovereign faced Lin Xuan and his two companions, as if cutting through tofu. He showed no resistance at all, but his appearance was in a state of extreme disarray. [.com
The域外天魔 surrounding him were dumbfounded. They knew the power of the Demon Rock City Lord; how could he suddenly become so ineffective?
Had he weakened?
That was clearly impossible.
So the only answer left was that this intruder's strength was off the charts!
