“ xiǎo bèi ， xiū dé huā yán qiǎo yǔ ， chěng nà kǒu shé zhī lì 。？.23x.”
“小辈，休得花言巧语，逞那口舌之利。？.23x.”
"Junior, do not waste my time with empty words.?" 23x.
yī shēng bào hē chuán rù ěr duǒ ， huà yīn wèi luò ， tiān kōng zhòu rán yīn chén le xǔ duō ， mó wù fān yǒng ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de shì wú shù gǔ guài de yín wén 。
一声暴喝传入耳朵，话音未落，天空骤然阴沉了许多，魔雾翻涌，与之伴随的是无数古怪的银纹。
A loud roar entered Lin Xuan's ears as the voice faded away. The sky suddenly darkened significantly, and a swirling mass of demonic fog appeared, accompanied by countless strange silver lines.
zhè xiē fú wén yǒu rú huó wù ， bù tíng de pái liè zǔ hé ， duǎn duǎn jǐ xī de gōng fu ， jìng huà wèi le yī gǔ guài de wén zhèn 。
这些符文有如活物，不停的排列组合，短短几息的功夫，竟化为了一古怪的纹阵。
These runes seemed alive, constantly rearranging themselves. In just a few breaths, they transformed into an intricate rune array.
kōng jiān zhī lì sì shè 。
空间之力四射。
Spatial energy radiated out.
mì mì má má de rén yǐng zài wén zhèn zhōng jiē lián fú xiàn ér chū 。
密密麻麻的人影在纹阵中接连浮现而出。
A dense cluster of figures emerged from the rune array, varying in height and build.
gāo ǎi bù yī ， pàng shòu gè yì 。
高矮不一，胖瘦各异。
However, their aura was overwhelmingly powerful.
rán ér suǒ sàn fà chū lái de qì xī ， què shì qiáng dà yǐ jí 。
然而所散发出来的气息，却是强大以极。
Journeyman Realm!
dù jié qī ！
渡劫期！
Indeed, all those present were undoubtedly Sovereign Demon level experts.
méi cuò ， cǐ kè chū xiàn zài wén zhèn zhōng de ， wú yī lì wài ， dōu shì mó zūn jí bié de qiáng zhě 。
没错，此刻出现在纹阵中的，无一例外，都是魔尊级别的强者。
There were more than a thousand of them.
shù liàng zú yǒu qiān yú zhī duō 。
数量足有千余之多。
Lin Xuan's face turned grim.
lín xuān de liǎn sè bù yóu de yīn chén xià lái le 。
林轩的脸色不由得阴沉下来了。
He knew that the域外天魔 (Exterior Heaven Demons) had prepared extensively for this, but he never expected so many Sovereign Demon-level experts.
chéng rán ， tā zhī dào zhè yī cì yù wài tiān mó zhǔn bèi shí fēn chōng zú ， dàn yě wàn wàn méi xiǎng dào huì yǒu zhè me duō mó zūn jí bié de qiáng zhě 。
诚然，他知道这一次域外天魔准备十分充足，但也万万没想到会有这么多魔尊级别的强者。
With enemies stronger and allies weaker, there weren't nearly as many high-ranking cultivators following him now.
dí qiáng wǒ ruò ， cǐ shí gēn zài zì jǐ shēn hòu de gāo jiē xiū shì kě yuǎn méi yǒu zhè me duō 。
敌强我弱，此时跟在自己身后的高阶修士可远没有这么多。
However, his nightmare was far from over.
rán ér è mèng bìng méi yǒu jié shù 。
然而噩梦并没有结束。
Soon, Lin Xuan's gaze fell on a tall man in purple robes.
hěn kuài ， lín xuān de mù guāng jiù luò zài yī shēn chuān zǐ páo de dà hàn shēn shàng le 。
很快，林轩的目光就落在一身穿紫袍的大汉身上了。
This man was towering, much taller than ordinary humans. His appearance was fierce and intimidating; he was clearly a late-stage Journeyman Realm expert.
cǐ rén shēn cái kuí wú ， yào bǐ pǔ tōng rén lèi gāo dé duō ， róng mào bà qì xiōng è ， nǎi shì yī wèi dù jié hòu qī de qiáng zhě 。
此人身材魁梧，要比普通人类高得多，容貌霸气凶恶，乃是一位渡劫后期的强者。
But Lin Xuan wasn't interested in that.
dāng rán ， lín xuān zài yì de bú shì zhè ge 。
当然，林轩在意的不是这个。
With both sides' top experts out, there were countless late-stage Journeyman Realm existences, but they weren't particularly eye-catching. There were dozens of late-stage Sovereign Demons appearing from the teleportation array, which Lin Xuan paid no mind to. His attention was drawn to this purple-robed man for a reason.
rú jīn shuāng fāng gāo shǒu jǐn chū ， dù jié hòu qī cún zài bù néng shuō shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， dàn yě méi yǒu duō shǎo yào yǎn zhī chù ， nà chuán sòng zhèn zhōng suǒ chū xiàn de hòu qī mó zūn jiù yǒu shù shí gè ， lín xuān gēn běn jiù méi yǒu fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， zhī suǒ yǐ duì zhè zǐ páo dà hàn xī yǐn guān zhù ， nà zì rán shì yǒu yuán yīn de 。
如今双方高手尽出，渡劫后期存在不能说数不胜数，但也没有多少耀眼之处，那传送阵中所出现的后期魔尊就有数十个，林轩根本就没有放在眼里，之所以对这紫袍大汉吸引关注，那自然是有原因的。
"Am I being tricked by that demoness?"
xū wú ！
虚无！
Black Phoenix's voice echoed in his ears, but before he could respond, she shook her head: "No, we personally checked the head—clearly it is real..."
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū bù kě sī yì zhī sè 。
林轩脸上露出不可思议之色。
"So, what you saw and fought earlier were just illusions of Void. This one before us is its true form?"
bù zhǐ shì tā ， hēi fèng yāo nǚ ， wàn xiǎo xiān jūn yě tóng yàng chēng mù jié shé ， xū wú míng míng yǔn luò ， yǒu rén lái yún yǐn shān fèng shàng le tā de tóu lú ， nán dào shì jiǎ de ？
不止是他，黑凤妖女，万晓仙君也同样瞠目结舌，虚无明明陨落，有人来云隐山奉上了他的头颅，难道是假的？
Wan Xiao, Immortal Sage, sighed. His experience was vast; though his guess was off, he was close to the truth.
yě nán guài sān rén cuò è ， yǎn qián zǐ páo dà hàn de róng mào 。 suī rán yǔ tā men céng jīng jiàn guò de xū wú wán quán bù tóng ， dàn xiū xiān jiè yǒu yì róng huà xíng zhī shù ， zhè bù zú wéi qí ， ràng rén chà yì de shì tā de qì xī ， zhè què shì zuò bù liǎo jiǎ dì 。
也难怪三人错愕，眼前紫袍大汉的容貌。虽然与他们曾经见过的虚无完全不同，但修仙界有易容化形之术，这不足为奇，让人诧异的是他的气息，这却是做不了假地。
The fallen Void wasn't its true form, but this one in front of them was an illusion.
“ méng zhǔ ， nán dào shì nà mó nǚ piàn wǒ ？”
“盟主，难道是那魔女骗我？”
Void's cultivation method was unpredictable and bizarre, making its illusion stronger than its true self.
hēi fèng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dàn bù děng lín xuān huí dá ， què yòu yáo le yáo tóu lú ：“ bú duì ， nà shǒu jí wǒ men dōu qīn zì chá yàn guò ， míng míng shì zhēn de ……”
黑凤的声音传入耳朵，但不等林轩回答，却又摇了摇头颅：“不对，那首级我们都亲自查验过，明明是真的……”
This had nothing to do with their current predicament. Whether it was the true form or the illusion, they needed to defeat both.
“ zhè me shuō 。 wǒ men xiān qián jiē chù de ， yǐ jí bèi zhǎn shā de ， dōu zhǐ shì xū wú de huà shēn ér yǐ ， yǎn qián zhè ge ， cái shì běn tǐ ？”
“这么说。我们先前接触的，以及被斩杀的，都只是虚无的化身而已，眼前这个，才是本体？”
These were both sides' top combatants.
wàn xiǎo xiān jūn tàn le kǒu qì ， tā de jīng yàn dǎo shì fēng fù yǐ jí ， zhè fān cāi cè suī rán bù zhōng ， dàn jù lí zhēn xiàng ， yě shì bù yuǎn 。
万晓仙君叹了口气，他的经验倒是丰富以极，这番猜测虽然不中，但距离真相，也是不远。
The outcome would be decided here.
yǔ cāi cè xiāng fǎn 。 yǔn luò de shì xū wú de běn tǐ méi cuò ， yǎn qián zhè jù ， cái shì huà shēn lái zhe 。
与猜测相反。陨落的是虚无的本体没错，眼前这具，才是化身来着。
Sovereign Demons surrounded Void, while cultivators and demons encircled Lin Xuan like stars around the moon. Neither side acted rashly; their eyes clashed in the void, sparks flying.
zhǐ bù guò xū wú xiū xíng de mó gōng guǐ yì nán cè ， huà shēn de shí lì 。 jū rán hái yào shèng guò běn tǐ 。
只不过虚无修行的魔功诡异难测，化身的实力。居然还要胜过本体。

dāng rán ， zhè yǔ tā men cǐ kè de zāo yù ， méi yǒu shén me guān xì ， bù lùn huà shēn hái shì běn tǐ 。 dōu shì xū yào tā men zhàn ér shèng zhī de qiáng dí 。
当然，这与他们此刻的遭遇，没有什么关系，不论化身还是本体。都是需要他们战而胜之的强敌。
The aura of demonic power interwove through the air, as if a storm was brewing. Even during the Three Realms War, there were rarely so many late-stage Journeyman Realm experts fighting simultaneously.
zhè shì shuāng fāng zuì gāo duān de zhàn lì 。
这是双方最高端的战力。
"Little Lin, dare you face me in one-on-one combat?"
shèng fù rú hé ， yě zài cǐ yī jǔ 。
胜负如何，也在此一举。
Void's gaze fixed on Lin Xuan, filled with挑衅 (provocation).
mó zūn men wéi zài xū wú de shēn cè ， xiū shì yāo zú yě rú zhòng xīng pěng yuè yì bān de jiāng lín xuān gǒng wèi zhe 。 shuāng fāng dōu méi yǒu qīng jǔ wàng dòng ， wéi yǒu yǎn shén zài xū kōng zhōng jiāo huǒ ， diàn guāng sì shè 。
魔尊们围在虚无的身侧，修士妖族也如众星捧月一般的将林轩拱卫着。双方都没有轻举妄动，唯有眼神在虚空中交火，电光四射。
"Why not?"
dà jiā kě yǐ zài wēi xìn zhōng sōu suǒ “ bǎi liàn chéng xiān huàn yǔ ”， huò zhě “hchy1982” jiù tiān jiā huàn yǔ de wēi xìn le
大家可以在薇信中搜索“百炼成仙幻雨”，或者“hchy1982”就添加幻雨的薇信了
At such a time, Lin Xuan couldn't afford to back down. Otherwise, the impact on morale would be significant.
mó wēi líng yā gèng shì jiāo zhī chuān suō ， shān yǔ yù lái fēng mǎn lóu ， jí biàn shì sān jiè dà zhàn zhī zhōng ， yě hěn shǎo yǒu zhè me duō dù jié jí bié de cún zài ， tóng shí jiāo shǒu 。
魔威灵压更是交织穿梭，山雨欲来风满楼，即便是三界大战之中，也很少有这么多渡劫级别的存在，同时交手。
"Good, you have courage."
“ lín xiǎo zi ， nǐ gǎn yǔ wǒ yī duì yī dān tiāo me ？”
“林小子，你敢与我一对一单挑么？”
A trace of approval appeared on Void's face, but it was tinged with a sinister intent.
xū wú de mù guāng suǒ dìng le lín xuān ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì tiǎo xìn zhī sè 。
虚无的目光锁定了林轩，脸上满是挑衅之色。
He then sneered and pulled out a banner from his sleeve, waving it lightly. A dense demonic fog spread outward.
“ yǒu hé bù gǎn ？”
“有何不敢？”
Lin Xuan immediately detected a sweet scent.
zhè zhǒng shí hòu ， lín xuān dāng rán bù kě néng tuì suō ， fǒu zé bié de bù tí ， duì shì qì de yǐng xiǎng ， jiù shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
这种时候，林轩当然不可能退缩，否则别的不提，对士气的影响，就是非同小可。
"Not good!"
“ hǎo ， yǒu dǎn sè 。”
“好，有胆色。”
The opponent had launched an ambush. Lin Xuan wouldn't sit idly by, but before he could react, he felt dazed, as if being transported somewhere.
xū wú de liǎn shàng ， lù chū yī sī zàn xǔ ， dàn zěn me kàn ， zěn me dài zhe zhēng níng zhī yì 。
虚无的脸上，露出一丝赞许，但怎么看，怎么带着狰狞之意。
...
suí hòu tā yī shēng lěng xiào ， cóng xiù zhōng qǔ chū yī gān fān qí ， qīng qīng yī wǔ ， cóng zhōng jiān mí màn chū nóng mì de mó wù 。
随后他一声冷笑，从袖中取出一杆幡旗，轻轻一舞，从中间弥漫出浓密的魔雾。
"What is this..."
bù tíng fān yǒng ， xiàng zhe sì zhōu kuò sàn ér qù 。
不停翻涌，像着四周扩散而去。
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan quickly regained his senses and found the sky darkening. He was in a barren wasteland, with grayish demonic energy covering both the sky and ground. The scenery was vastly different from before, but it was undoubtedly Mount Demonic Horns.
lín xuān dùn shí wén dào yī gǔ xiāng tián de qì xī 。
林轩顿时闻到一股香甜的气息。
Clearly, they had been teleported here by some forbidden technique.
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
In this desolate wasteland, he stood alone while facing two opponents: Void and another figure with a rat-like appearance.
duì fāng jū rán chū shǒu tōu xí ， lín xuān zì rán bú huì zuò yǐ dài bì ， rán ér zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， tā què gǎn dào yī zhèn mí hū ， tiān xuán dì zhuàn ， nà gǎn jué yǔ chuán sòng yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù 。
对方居然出手偷袭，林轩自然不会坐以待毙，然而这个念头尚未转过，他却感到一阵迷糊，天旋地转，那感觉与传送有几分相似之处。
However, what surprised him was that the latter's cultivation level was only early-stage Journeyman Realm.
……
……
While formidable in other places, against him, it was insignificant. Why would Void bring such an idiot as his companion?
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
With Lin Xuan's deep understanding and vast experience, he couldn't fathom this, but it didn't stop him from mocking Void: "Two on one—this is your friend's promise of a fair fight? Lying to me and breaking your word, do you not feel ashamed?"
lín xuān xī le kǒu qì ， hěn kuài jiù qīng xǐng guò lái ， què fā xiàn tiān sè yǒu xiē hūn àn ， zì jǐ lái dào le yī piàn huāng yuán ， tiān kōng dì miàn ， dōu bù mǎn le huī méng méng de mó qì ， jǐng sè yǔ gāng cái de jiǒng yì ， dàn xiǎn rán yī jiù shì mó luó shān wú yí 。
林轩吸了口气，很快就清醒过来，却发现天色有些昏暗，自己来到了一片荒原，天空地面，都布满了灰蒙蒙的魔气，景色与刚才的迥异，但显然依旧是魔螺山无疑。
"Humph. What shame could there be? Back in the Heavenly River Valley, five of you fought against my master, yet you lost. You claim that more numbers mean victory, but why should we break our word?"
xiǎn rán duì fāng lì yòng jìn zhì ， jiāng zì jǐ chuán sòng dào le zhè lǐ 。
显然对方利用禁制，将自己传送到了这里。
"Besides, dealing with a mere child like you doesn't require my master to lie. I came here merely to assist him and witness his supreme power. No need for me to act; he can defeat you with just one finger."
ér zài zhè huī méng méng de huāng yuán ， zì jǐ shì gū jiā guǎ rén ， duì shǒu què yǒu liǎng gè ， xū wú bù yòng shuō ， hái yǒu yí gè jiā huo zhāng tóu shǔ mù 。
而在这灰蒙蒙的荒原，自己是孤家寡人，对手却有两个，虚无不用说，还有一个家伙獐头鼠目。
Before Void could speak, the rat-faced Sovereign Demon spoke up, shamelessly displaying his audacity. Lin Xuan had only met a few cultivators as shameless as this in his life—only Nai Long could match him.
rán ér ràng rén chà yì de shì ， tā de xiū wèi zhǐ yǒu dù jié chū qī 。
然而让人诧异的是，他的修为只有渡劫初期。
There were such characters among the Exterior Heaven Demons: Lin Xuan laughed in exasperation. "Are you Void's disciple?"
fàng zài qí tā dì diǎn ， gù rán qiáng dà wú bǐ ， rán ér miàn duì zì jǐ ， zé gēn běn bù zhí yī tí ， xū wú jiāng zhè me yí gè bèn dàn dài zài shēn biān ， què shì hé yì ？
放在其他地点，固然强大无比，然而面对自己，则根本不值一提，虚无将这么一个笨蛋带在身边，却是何意？
"Correct. My master is invincible; even the Arhats would bow down. If you're wise, surrender now. Otherwise..."
yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， jiàn shí guǎng bó ， què yě wú fǎ cān xiáng tòu chè ， dàn zhè què bìng bù fáng ài tā yǐ cǐ yé yú xū wú ：“ èr duì yī ， zhè jiù shì dào yǒu dān tiāo de chéng nuò ， dāng miàn sā huǎng ， shí yán ér féi ， gé xià yì bù jué dé liǎn hóng me ？”
以林轩的城府，见识广博，却也无法参详透彻，但这却并不妨碍他以此揶揄虚无：“二对一，这就是道友单挑的承诺，当面撒谎，食言而肥，阁下亦不觉得脸红么？”
The Sovereign Demon's smug voice echoed, showing off his audacity.
“ hēng ， yǒu shén me hǎo liǎn hóng de ， dāng chū zài tiān hé zhī gǔ ， nǐ men kě shì wǔ gè dǎ wǒ jiā shī zūn yí gè ， hái bú shì dà bài kuī shū ， xǔ nǐ men xiū shì yǐ duō wèi shèng ， jiù bù ràng wǒ men shí yán ér féi me ？”
“哼，有什么好脸红的，当初在天河之谷，你们可是五个打我家师尊一个，还不是大败亏输，许你们修士以多为胜，就不让我们食言而肥么？”
Lin Xuan was impressed despite himself: such a bold liar was rare. "May I ask your name?"
“ ér qiě duì fù nǐ zhè me yí gè xiǎo jiā huo ， yòu nǎ ér yòng dé zhe wǒ shī zūn sā huǎng le ， lǎo fū lái cǐ ， bù guò shì suí shì zài shī zūn shēn cè ， yǐ biàn mù dǔ tā lǎo rén jiā de wú shàng shén gōng ， gēn běn bù xū wǒ chū shǒu ， wǒ shī zūn zhǐ xū yào yī gēn zhǐ tou ， jiù néng ràng nǐ qiú shēng bù néng ， qiú sǐ bù dé 。”
“而且对付你这么一个小家伙，又哪儿用得着我师尊撒谎了，老夫来此，不过是随侍在师尊身侧，以便目睹他老人家的无上神功，根本不需我出手，我师尊只需要一根指头，就能让你求生不能，求死不得。”
"My true name need not be mentioned; I am now known as Devouring Dragon, meaning to kill both you and Nai Long."
xū wú hái wèi kāi kǒu ， páng biān nà zhāng tóu shǔ mù de mó zūn yǐ jīng shuō huà le ， rán ér què shì hòu yán wú chǐ ， liǎn pí zhī hòu ， ràng rén tàn wéi guān zhǐ ， lín xuān shēng píng suǒ rèn shí de xiū shì ， kǒng pà zhǐ yǒu nài lóng néng yǔ tā xiāng bǐ 。
虚无还未开口，旁边那獐头鼠目的魔尊已经说话了，然而却是厚颜无耻，脸皮之厚，让人叹为观止，林轩生平所认识的修士，恐怕只有鼐龙能与他相比。
"Ah, so that's the case. Your ambition exceeds your talent, but it's admirable."
yù wài tiān mó zhōng jū rán hái yǒu zhè yàng de rén wù ， lín xuān qì xiào le ：“ nǐ shì xū wú de tú dì ？”
域外天魔中居然还有这样的人物，林轩气笑了：“你是虚无的徒弟？”
This conversation made Void feel a bit embarrassed. His disciple was truly...
“ bù cuò ， wǒ jiā shī zūn tiān xià wú dí ， biàn shì ā xiū luó wáng fù shēng ， yě wéi yǒu wǔ tǐ tóu dì ， nǐ ruò shì shí xiàng ， jiù kuài kuài tóu xiáng ， fǒu zé ……” nà mó zūn dé yì yáng yáng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jiāng hú jiǎ hǔ wēi zhǎn shì dào le lín lí jìn zhì de dì bù 。
“不错，我家师尊天下无敌，便是阿修罗王复生，也唯有五体投地，你若是识相，就快快投降，否则……”那魔尊得意洋洋的声音传入耳朵，将狐假虎威展示到了淋漓尽致的地步。
A light cough: "Enough with this mouthy nonsense. Lin Xuan, will you surrender to the Exterior Heaven Demons?"
lín xuān tīng dé yě yǒu xiē pèi fú ， bì jìng zhè yàng shuō dà huà bù liǎn hóng de rén zhēn bù duō ：“ qǐng wèn nǐ jiào shén me ？”
林轩听得也有些佩服，毕竟这样说大话不脸红的人真不多：“请问你叫什么？”
"This, I'll leave to you..."
“ běn zūn zhě yuán míng bù yòng tí ， rú jīn gǎi míng miè lóng ， yì si jiù shì yào miè shā nǐ yǔ nài lóng 。”
“本尊者原名不用提，如今改名灭龙，意思就是要灭杀你与鼐龙。”
Lin Xuan was speechless. They had reached such a point; how could he possibly surrender? Moreover, given their current situation, the Exterior Heaven Demons' chances of victory were slim. What底气 (confidence) did Void have to make such a statement? (To be continued...)
"Junior, do not waste my time with empty words.?" 23x.
A loud roar entered Lin Xuan's ears as the voice faded away. The sky suddenly darkened significantly, and a swirling mass of demonic fog appeared, accompanied by countless strange silver lines.
These runes seemed alive, constantly rearranging themselves. In just a few breaths, they transformed into an intricate rune array.
