jié guǒ kě xiǎng ér zhī 。
结果可想而知。
The outcome was predictable.
xū wú mó jūn ruò shì shén wán qì zú ， duì shàng nài lóng shuí shèng shuí fù hái bù hǎo shuō ， jiù tā rú jīn zhè zhǒng zhuàng tài ， kě yǐ shuō sī háo xuán niàn yě wú 。
虚无魔君若是神完气足，对上鼐龙谁胜谁负还不好说，就他如今这种状态，可以说丝毫悬念也无。
If Void Lord Vagueness were in full strength, the outcome of a confrontation with Nai Long could have been uncertain. But in his current state, there was no suspense at all.
bù jǐn méi yǒu chū qì ， fǎn ér āi le nài lóng zhēn rén yī dùn bào dǎ 。
不仅没有出气，反而挨了鼐龙真人一顿暴打。
Not only did he fail to vent his anger, but he also got beaten up by Nai Long's True Man heavily.
bí qīng liǎn zhǒng 。
鼻青脸肿。
His face and nose were bruised and swollen.
shuō shāng hén lěi lěi yě bù wèi guò 。
说伤痕累累也不为过。
The injuries were so severe that it could be said he was covered in them.
zài hún shēn téng tòng zhōng ， xū wú mó jūn qīng xǐng le 。
在浑身疼痛中，虚无魔君清醒了。
In the midst of excruciating pain, Void Lord Vagueness regained his senses.
xuè qì zhī yǒng jiě jué bù liǎo wèn tí 。
血气之勇解决不了问题。
Bravery based on blood and courage couldn't solve problems.
zì jǐ xiàn zài zhè zhǒng zhuàng tài yǔ nài lóng fàng duì gēn běn jiù shì zì qǔ qí rǔ 。
自己现在这种状态与鼐龙放对根本就是自取其辱。
Being in this state to confront Nai Long was a humiliation.
bié shuō bào fù chū qì ， yí gè bù hǎo hái huì jiāng xiǎo mìng ér sòng zài zhè lǐ 。
别说报复出气，一个不好还会将小命儿送在这里。
Not only would he fail to get revenge, but he might even lose his life here.
zhè zhǒng zhuàng kuàng zì rán shì tā bù yuàn yì kàn dào dì 。
这种状况自然是他不愿意看到地。
This situation was naturally something he didn't want to see.
sú huà shuō ， jūn zǐ bào chóu ， shí nián bù wǎn 。
俗话说，君子报仇，十年不晚。
As the saying goes, a gentleman's revenge is ten years in the making. By tolerating a momentary anger, he could still control the outcome of the game.
zì jǐ rěn yī shí zhī qì ， fān pán de xī wàng cái néng bǎ wò zài zì jǐ de shǒu lǐ 。
自己忍一时之气，翻盘的希望才能把握在自己的手里。
Thus, he calmed down and no longer engaged Nai Long head-on but instead used secret techniques to prepare his escape.
yú shì tā lěng jìng xià lái ， bù zài yǔ nài lóng yìng pīn ， ér shì shī zhǎn mì shù ， zhǔn bèi xié dǐ mǒ yóu ， táo zhī yāo yāo de lí kāi cǐ chù 。
于是他冷静下来，不再与鼐龙硬拼，而是施展秘术，准备鞋底抹油，逃之夭夭的离开此处。
Nai Long, being clever, had anticipated this situation. But there was nothing he could do; just as before when he ambushed, all he could do was fume. The same applied now.
zhè zhǒng zhuàng kuàng ， yǐ nài lóng zhēn rén de cōng míng ， zì rán shì zǎo yǒu yù liào ， dàn wú kě nài hé ， jiù xiàng xiān qián ， zì jǐ tōu xí ， duì fāng wéi yǒu tiào jiǎo shēng qì ， yǎn qián yě shì yī yàng de dào lǐ 。
这种状况，以鼐龙真人的聪明，自然是早有预料，但无可奈何，就像先前，自己偷袭，对方唯有跳脚生气，眼前也是一样的道理。
Indeed, Void Lord Vagueness was severely injured, but at his level, survival techniques were incredibly subtle. With the intention to flee, no peer would be able to stop him.
chéng rán ， xū wú mó jūn yǐ shēn shòu zhòng shāng ， kě shí lì dào le tā zhè ge děng jí ， bǎo mìng mì shù nà shì xuán miào wú bǐ ， yī xīn xiǎng táo ， tóng jiē cún zài gēn běn lán bú zhù 。
诚然，虚无魔君已身受重伤，可实力到了他这个等级，保命秘术那是玄妙无比，一心想逃，同阶存在根本拦不住。
However, Nai Long wouldn't easily give up. Since he had anticipated this, he had set several prohibitions around them.
bù guò nài lóng zhēn rén kě bù huì qīng yì fàng qì ， jì rán liào dí xiān jī ， tā zài zhōu wéi kě shì bù zhì le hǎo jǐ gè jìn zhì 。
不过鼐龙真人可不会轻易放弃，既然料敌先机，他在周围可是布置了好几个禁制。
While these temporary arrays couldn't contain the opponent, it was still a good way to irritate them.
chéng rán ， zhè zhǒng lín shí fǎ zhèn kěn dìng kùn duì fāng bú zhù 。
诚然，这种临时法阵肯定困对方不住。
Furthermore, Void Lord Vagueness's current situation was extremely dire; a shipwreck in a ditch wasn't impossible.
dàn jiù suàn shì ě xīn yī xià duì fāng yě shì hǎo de 。
但就算是恶心一下对方也是好的。
Thus, Nai Long attacked while continuing to verbally abuse him.
ér qiě xū wú xiàn zài de zhuàng kuàng shí zài shì bù miào yǐ jí ， yīn gōu lǐ fān chuán yě bú shì bù kě néng dì 。
而且虚无现在的状况实在是不妙以极，阴沟里翻船也不是不可能地。
Nai Long didn't curse out loud. The problem with this guy was that he had the ability to infuriate people to death!
yú shì nài lóng yī biān chū shǒu gōng jī ， zuǐ bā hái zài kuáng sǔn duì fāng bù yǐ 。
于是鼐龙一边出手攻击，嘴巴还在狂损对方不已。
Especially among the Great Chiefs of the Outer Demonic Realm, Void Lord Vagueness was the one with the worst temperament and the most explosive anger.
nài lóng méi yǒu pò kǒu dà mà ， wèn tí shì zhè jiā huo jiù yǒu qì sǐ rén bù cháng mìng de běn shì a ！
鼐龙没有破口大骂，问题是这家伙就有气死人不偿命的本事啊！
So now, despite his intention to escape, he was so enraged by Nai Long's words that he made a critical mistake.
piān piān zài yù wài tiān mó de dà shǒu lǐng zhōng ， xū wú yòu shì xīn jìng xiū yǎng zuì chà de yí gè ， pí qì zuì shì bào zào yì nù 。
偏偏在域外天魔的大首领中，虚无又是心境修养最差的一个，脾气最是暴躁易怒。
In such a situation, even a minor error could be fatal. As they say, in a battle between experts, every millimeter counts.
yú shì zhè xià hǎo le ， tā míng míng yǐ jīng dǎ dìng zhǔ yì táo zǒu ， què yìng shì bèi nài lóng zhēn rén qì dé shǒu jiǎo bīng liáng 。
于是这下好了，他明明已经打定主意逃走，却硬是被鼐龙真人气得手脚冰凉。
Thus, this guy suffered, as Nai Long seized the opportunity and cut off one of his legs and an arm.
máng zhōng chū cuò 。
忙中出错。
A shower of blood rained down.
suī rán zhǐ shì yí gè xiǎo cuò wù 。 dàn sú huà shuō ， gāo shǒu guò zhāo ， zhǐ zhēng lí háo 。
虽然只是一个小错误。但俗话说，高手过招，只争厘毫。
Void Lord Vagueness was both in pain and anger, realizing that he had unknowingly fallen into Nai Long's trap. With all his hatred, he finally decided to focus on escaping by using secret techniques.
yú shì zhè jiā huo cǎn le ， bèi nài lóng zhuā zhù liáng jī ， yìng shēng shēng zhǎn xià yī tuǐ yī bì 。
于是这家伙惨了，被鼐龙抓住良机，硬生生斩下一腿一臂。
This time, Nai Long was helpless. He had already achieved remarkable results and didn't regret anything; he leisurely prepared to return to his cave abode.
màn tiān xuè yǔ 。
漫天血雨。
Soon enough, they arrived.
xū wú yòu tòng yòu nù ， zhè cái míng bái zì jǐ zài bù zhī bù jué yòu zhe le nài lóng de dào ér ， mǎn qiāng yuàn dú ， dàn yě zhōng yú xià dìng jué xīn pái chú wài wù ， shī zhǎn mì shù ， yī xīn zhǐ wèi wáng mìng ér táo 。
虚无又痛又怒，这才明白自己在不知不觉又着了鼐龙的道儿，满腔怨毒，但也终于下定决心排除外物，施展秘术，一心只为亡命而逃。
What awaited him were cheers from everyone, and the smile of Fairy QianQian was so enchanting that it could make one's heart race.
zhè yī cì 。 nài lóng zhēn rén yě wú kě nài hé ， bù guò tā yǐ jīng qǔ dé le lìng rén huī huáng de zhàn guǒ ， méi shén me hǎo yí hàn de ， yōu zāi yóu zāi ， zhǔn bèi huí guī dòng fǔ 。
这一次。鼐龙真人也无可奈何，不过他已经取得了令人辉煌的战果，没什么好遗憾的，优哉游哉，准备回归洞府。
Nai Long stepped forward with a sunny smile, ready to embrace his beloved wife.
hěn kuài jiù dào le 。
很快就到了。
As the saying goes, a brief separation is like a new marriage. And considering how wise and valiant he was, a small trick had already wiped out the million-strong army of Outer Demonic Realm.
děng dài tā de shì zhòng rén de huān hū ， qiān qiān xiān zi de xiào róng gèng shì lìng rén xīn zuì dào jí chù 。
等待他的是众人的欢呼，芊芊仙子的笑容更是令人心醉到极处。
His wife wouldn't consider him a hero?
nài lóng kuài bù shàng qián ， lù chū yáng guāng bān de xiào liǎn ， zhèng zhǔn bèi gěi ài qī yí gè yōng bào 。
鼐龙快步上前，露出阳光般的笑脸，正准备给爱妻一个拥抱。
Just as he prepared to bask in her admiration, an ominous feeling struck his heart.
sú huà shuō ， xiǎo bié shèng xīn hūn 。 gèng hé kuàng zì jǐ rú cǐ yīng míng shén wǔ ， lüè shī xiǎo jì jiù ràng bǎi wàn yù wài tiān mó de dà jūn huī fēi yān miè diào le 。
俗话说，小别胜新婚。更何况自己如此英明神武，略施小计就让百万域外天魔的大军灰飞烟灭掉了。
At this level, any danger would be detected with uncanny accuracy.
qī zǐ hái bù dàng zì jǐ shì yīng xióng ？
妻子还不当自己是英雄？
But how could that be possible!
zhèng zhǔn bèi xiǎng shòu duì fāng chóng bài de mù guāng 。
正准备享受对方崇拜的目光。
Void Lord Vagueness had fled and was far away. The remaining Outer Demonic Realm forces were scattered and terrified. At such a moment, who could pose a threat to him?
què mò míng qí miào de yǒu le xīn tóu líng zhào 。
却莫名其妙的有了心头灵兆。
Could it be...
xū zhī shí lì dào le tā zhè yàng de děng jí ， wēi xiǎn lái lín qián ， xīn tóu líng zhào kě shì zhǔn què wú bǐ 。
须知实力到了他这样的等级，危险来临前，心头灵兆可是准确无比。
Nai Long's reaction was swift as he raised his head.
dàn bù kě néng a ！
但不可能啊！
He then noticed the gentle gaze of Fairy QianQian harboring murderous intent.
xū wú yǐ jīng luò huāng ér táo 。 yuǎn zǒu tā xiāng ， zhì yú qí yú de yù wài tiān mó ， gèng shì qī líng bā luò ， hún fēi sàng dǎn 。 zhè zhǒng shí kè ， shuí néng gòu wēi xié dào zì jǐ ne ？
虚无已经落荒而逃。远走他乡，至于其余的域外天魔，更是七零八落，魂飞丧胆。这种时刻，谁能够威胁到自己呢？
No misunderstanding; this was definitely Fairy QianQian, for she hadn't been possessed by any Outer Demonic Realm force.
nán dào shuō ……
难道说……
But why?
nài lóng zhēn rén de fǎn yìng yě hěn xùn sù ， tái qǐ tóu lú 。
鼐龙真人的反应也很迅速，抬起头颅。
The answer soon came. Beside Fairy QianQian stood a young maiden with an absolutely stunning appearance, but to Nai Long's eyes, it was blinding... Eight-tailed Fox Fairy. How did she discover her so quickly?
suí hòu tā biàn zhù yì dào qiān qiān xiān zi wēn róu de mù guāng zhōng yǒu shā jī yǐn cáng zhe 。
随后他便注意到芊芊仙子温柔的目光中有杀机隐藏着。
Nai Long's heart began to race.
bié wù huì 。 zhè jué duì shì qiān qiān xiān zi méi cuò ， tā bìng méi yǒu bèi yù wài tiān mó duó shě 。
别误会。这绝对是芊芊仙子没错，她并没有被域外天魔夺舍。
While he could disregard a million troops, before Fairy QianQian, he had no resistance.
nà tā wèi hé ？
那她为何？
As the saying goes, water turns tofu; one thing can subdue another.
dá àn hěn kuài jiù jiē xiǎo le ， zài qiān qiān xiān zi de páng biān ， zhàn zhe yī miào líng shào nǚ ， zī róng jué lì ， rán ér cǐ shí luò zài nài lóng zhēn rén de yǎn lǐ ， què jué de cì mù yǐ jí …… bā wěi xiān hú ， tā zěn me zhè me kuài ， jiù bèi qiān qiān xiān zi fā xiàn le ？
答案很快就揭晓了，在芊芊仙子的旁边，站着一妙龄少女，姿容绝丽，然而此时落在鼐龙真人的眼里，却觉得刺目以极……八尾仙狐，她怎么这么快，就被芊芊仙子发现了？
"Haha, Nai Long, you've improved."
nài lóng de xīn kāi shǐ dǎ gǔ 。
鼐龙的心开始打鼓。
Fairy QianQian smiled and gave him a hug. But she whispered in his ear.
tā kě yǐ shì bǎi wàn dà jūn wèi wú wù ， rán ér zài qiān qiān xiān zi miàn qián ， què yì diǎn fǎn kàng de běn lǐng yě wú 。
他可以视百万大军为无物，然而在芊芊仙子面前，却一点反抗的本领也无。
"No need to explain, she told me everything clearly. Nai Long, you're getting better at this. Don't say anything; when we return, get down on the scrubbing board for three days straight without moving."
sú huà shuō ， lǔ shuǐ diǎn dòu fǔ ， yī wù xiáng yī wù 。
俗话说，卤水点豆腐，一物降一物。
Nai Long: "..."
“ hē hē ， nài lóng ， nǐ zhǎng běn shì le 。”
“呵呵，鼐龙，你涨本事了。”
Thus, the hero who had defeated a million demons and established an unprecedented feat in the Outer Demonic Realm returned to Penglai Immortal Island but didn't receive flowers or cheers. Instead, he was... forced to do scrubbing.
qiān qiān xiān zi xiào yè rú huā ， gěi le nài lóng yí gè yōng bào ， rán ér què zài tā ěr biān qiǎo rán chuán yīn dào 。
芊芊仙子笑靥如花，给了鼐龙一个拥抱，然而却在他耳边悄然传音到。
This change of events left people sighing. The battle for Penglai Immortal Island ended with Nai Long's humiliation on the scrubbing board. Meanwhile, Void Lord Vagueness's fate was far worse; his million demon forces were destroyed in self-inflicted chaos, and he himself was severely injured to the point of no recovery.
“ bú shì ， lǎo pó ， nǐ tīng wǒ jiě shì 。”
“不是，老婆，你听我解释。”
Void Lord Vagueness almost wept with hatred for Nai Long but could do nothing about it. After this battle, the power of demons in this small interface had suffered a heavy blow. Intellectually, seeking help should have been considered, but he was too ashamed to ask for assistance from his fellow Great Chiefs, who were already scheming against each other.
“ hē hē ， bù yòng jiě shì ， gāi shuō de ， tā dōu gěi wǒ jiǎng dé hěn qīng chǔ ， nài lóng ， nǐ hái zhēn shì yuè lái yuè yǒu néng nài le ， shá yě bié shuō ， yī huì er huí qù ， gěi wǒ guì cuō yī bǎn ， sān tiān sān yè dōu bù xǔ qǐ lái 。”
“呵呵，不用解释，该说的，她都给我讲得很清楚，鼐龙，你还真是越来越有能耐了，啥也别说，一会儿回去，给我跪搓衣板，三天三夜都不许起来。”
He didn't seek their help and instead decided to rely on himself. He could always draw more troops from the Outer Demonic Realm if necessary; no matter what, this grudge must be avenged.
nài lóng ：“……”
鼐龙：“……”
However, just when things couldn't get worse, he received a message that left him dizzy with shock.
yú shì ， miàn duì yù wài tiān mó suǒ xiàng pī mǐ de nài lóng zhēn rén ， lì xià bù shì qí gōng de yīng xióng ， huí dào péng lái xiān dǎo hòu ， què bìng méi yǒu xiǎng shòu dào xiān huā yǔ huān hū ， ér shì …… guì cuō yī bǎn qù le 。
于是，面对域外天魔所向披靡的鼐龙真人，立下不世奇功的英雄，回到蓬莱仙岛后，却并没有享受到鲜花与欢呼，而是……跪搓衣板去了。
Not only had his forces suffered a crushing defeat, but even his major general had met the same fate. The demon lord of Demon Rock City led an army to besiege the Immortal Dao Alliance, and recently, all their troops were wiped out as well. Although some escaped, the losses were tremendous.
rú cǐ biàn gù ， lìng rén xī xū ， ér péng lái xiān dǎo de zhàn yì ， yě xuān gào jié shù ， bù guǎn nài lóng zhēn rén guì cuō yī bǎn guì dé duō me xīn kǔ ， xū wú mó zūn de xià chǎng dōu bǐ tā bēi cǎn xǔ duō 。
如此变故，令人唏嘘，而蓬莱仙岛的战役，也宣告结束，不管鼐龙真人跪搓衣板跪得多么辛苦，虚无魔尊的下场都比他悲惨许多。
Receiving this news, Void Lord Vagueness felt struck by lightning. How could it be?
bǎi wàn mó jūn huǐ yú yí dàn ， ér qiě hái shì zì xiāng cán shā de fāng shì ， shèn zhì lián zì jǐ ， dōu shāng zhòng dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
百万魔军毁于一旦，而且还是自相残杀的方式，甚至连自己，都伤重到无以复加的地步。
In the battle at Heavenly River Valley, that Lin boy had been a disappointment; other cultivators of the Immortal Dao Alliance weren't impressive either. The Black Bear King and Dong Yu Immortal Emperor were mere clay figures and paper puppets, easily dispatched. News over the years had also shown this.
xū wú mó jūn jiǎn zhí xiǎng kū ， xīn zhōng gèng shì jiāng nài lóng zhēn rén hèn zhī rù gǔ ， piān piān què ná duì fāng wú kě nài hé ， jīng cǐ yī yì ， cǐ xiǎo jiè miàn yù wài tiān mó de lì liàng zāo shòu le zhòng chuāng ， cóng lǐ zhì shàng shuō ， yīng gāi xún qiú bāng zhù 。
虚无魔君简直想哭，心中更是将鼐龙真人恨之入骨，偏偏却拿对方无可奈何，经此一役，此小界面域外天魔的力量遭受了重创，从理智上说，应该寻求帮助。
The siege on Cloud Concealment Sect's main headquarters was somewhat obstructed but breaking the city was just a matter of time; the enemy had no means to resist, how could they end up like this?
dàn tā xiū yú zhè me zuò ， yù wài tiān mó de jǐ wèi dà shǒu lǐng běn lái jiù shì gōu xīn dòu jiǎo de ， zì jǐ luò de rú cǐ xià chǎng ， hái xiàng tā men qiú zhù ， fēi chéng wéi tā men kǒu zhōng de xiào bǐng bù kě 。
但他羞于这么做，域外天魔的几位大首领本来就是勾心斗角的，自己落得如此下场，还像他们求助，非成为他们口中的笑柄不可。
Could it be that the rumors were false?
tā bù zhè me zuò 。
他不这么做。
Did Nai Long deliberately deceive me with someone else?
jué dìng kào zì jǐ ， dà bù liǎo huí qù hòu cóng tiān wài mó yù duō chōu diào yī xiē bīng lì ， wú lùn rú hé ， cǐ chóu yě fēi bào bù kě 。
决定靠自己，大不了回去后从天外魔域多抽调一些兵力，无论如何，此仇也非报不可。
He once had such suspicions, but he quickly received accurate information. After all, the truth would come out eventually, and Lin Xuan never intended to hide his victory.
rán ér wū lòu piān féng lián yè yǔ ， fēi dào bàn tú de shí hòu ， tā yòu dé dào le yí gè ràng tā yǎn mào jīn xīng de xiāo xī 。
然而屋漏偏逢连夜雨，飞到半途的时候，他又得到了一个让他眼冒金星的消息。
This time, Void Lord Vagueness truly spat blood. Already severely injured, this further angered him to the point of near collapse. (To be continued...)
The outcome was predictable.
If Void Lord Vagueness were in full strength, the outcome of a confrontation with Nai Long could have been uncertain. But in his current state, there was no suspense at all.
Not only did he fail to vent his anger, but he also got beaten up by Nai Long's True Man heavily.
His face and nose were bruised and swollen.
The injuries were so severe that it could be said he was covered in them.
In the midst of excruciating pain, Void Lord Vagueness regained his senses.
Bravery based on blood and courage couldn't solve problems.
Being in this state to confront Nai Long was a humiliation.
Not only would he fail to get revenge, but he might even lose his life here.
This situation was naturally something he didn't want to see.
