méi cuò ， běn mìng mó bǎo ！
没错，本命魔宝！
Indeed, a命魔 treasure!
rú cǐ jié guǒ ， biàn shì lín xuān yě shǐ liào wèi jí ， liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī chà yì 。
如此结果，便是林轩也始料未及，脸上露出一丝诧异。
Such an outcome was unforeseen even by Lin Xuan. A look of surprise appeared on his face.
dàn tīng yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr lǐ ， jīng rén de qì làng biàn jiāng xū wú bāo guǒ ， lǐ miàn chuán lái duì fāng jīng nù de chì hè 。
但听一声巨响传入耳里，惊人的气浪便将虚无包裹，里面传来对方惊怒的叱喝。
But with a loud explosion heard, the astonishing qi wave enveloped the void, and from within came the other party's shocked and angry scolding.
chéng rán ， zhè zhāng tóu shǔ mù de jiā huo shí lì bìng bù rú hé ， dàn hǎo dǎi yě shì dù jié qī de ， běn mìng fǎ bǎo zài dān tián zhōng péi yǎng de suì yuè wú shù ， wēi lì zì rán shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， gèng hé kuàng hái dài yǒu chū qí bù yì de xiào guǒ 。
诚然，这獐头鼠目的家伙实力并不如何，但好歹也是渡劫期的，本命法宝在丹田中培养的岁月无数，威力自然是非同小可，更何况还带有出其不意的效果。
Truly, this rat-faced fellow might not be formidable in power, but he had managed to survive the Tribulation Period. The life essence treasure nurtured in his dantian for countless years naturally possessed immense strength. Moreover, it carried an element of surprise that made him even more dangerous.
yǐ yǒu xīn suàn wú yì ， xū wú mó zūn wàn wàn méi liào dào xīn shōu de tú ér huì xiàng zì jǐ tōu xí ， yī shí bù chá ， yě bèi tā dài dào le xiàn jǐng lǐ 。
以有心算无意，虚无魔尊万万没料到新收的徒儿会像自己偷袭，一时不察，也被他带到了陷阱里。
By calculating the other's lack of foresight, the Void Tyrant never expected his newly acquired disciple to ambush him. Caught off guard, he fell into a trap set by Lin Xuan.
yòu jīng yòu nù ， chà diǎn qì pò dù pí ， fǎn guān lín xuān ， suī xīn zhōng chà yì ， dàn zhè me hǎo de jī huì ， què wàn wàn méi yǒu fàng guò de dào lǐ 。
又惊又怒，差点气破肚皮，反观林轩，虽心中诧异，但这么好的机会，却万万没有放过的道理。
Angry and frustrated, he nearly burst with rage. Meanwhile, Lin Xuan, though surprised, could not afford to let this opportunity slip away. After all, letting such a foe escape would bring endless trouble.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Xuan summoned the Ten Thousand Swords Diagram.
lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū 。
林轩一指向前点出。
The piercing sounds filled the air as the sky was almost entirely covered by the colorful sword qi raining down from every direction, rushing towards the Void Tyrant.
dùn shí ， qīng míng shēng dà zuò ， líng guāng yào mù ， yòng zhēn líng huà jiàn jué biàn huàn chū lái de jiǔ tóu zhēn líng kāi shǐ yì qǐ fā lì le ， yí gè zhào miàn ， jiù jiāng xū wú mó jūn suǒ jì chū lái de jǐ jiàn fǎ bǎo sī pò ， è hěn hěn de xiàng tā yī pū ér qù le 。
顿时，清鸣声大做，灵光耀目，用真灵化剑诀变幻出来的九头真灵开始一起发力了，一个照面，就将虚无魔君所祭出来的几件法宝撕破，恶狠狠的像他一扑而去了。
"Rat scum!"
ruò shì píng shí ， xū wú zì rán kě yǐ cóng róng yìng fù ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā què gēn běn méi yǒu shí jiān fǎn yìng shén me 。
若是平时，虚无自然可以从容应付，但此时此刻，他却根本没有时间反应什么。
The Void Tyrant naturally erupted in anger. How could he possibly sit idly by?
cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， xū wú yǐ bèi jiǔ tóu zhēn líng páng dà de shēn qū yān mò 。
惨叫声传入耳朵，虚无已被九头真灵庞大的身躯淹没。
However, a single misstep led to his downfall. In this moment, he truly experienced the humiliation of a tiger falling into plain sight and a dragon swimming shallow waters—how unlucky he was.
ér lín xuān zì rán bú huì yǒu shàn bǎi gān xiū yī shuō ， yuè shì zhè zhǒng shí kè ， yuè shì liú shǒu bù dé ， fàng hǔ guī shān ， nà kě shì yǒu wú qióng de hòu huàn 。
而林轩自然不会有善摆甘休一说，越是这种时刻，越是留手不得，放虎归山，那可是有无穷的后患。
Despite having astonishing powers, he struggled to use them effectively. Each of the nine true spirits posed a challenge, compounded by the countless sword qi. In an instant, his defenses were breached.
xiù páo yī shuǎi ， lín xuān jiāng wàn jiàn tú yě jì le qǐ lái 。
袖袍一甩，林轩将万剑图也祭了起来。
The Void Tyrant did not fall, but he suffered severe injuries.
chī chī de pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jī hū jiāng zhěng gè tiān kōng dōu gěi zhē dǎng zhù ， fàng yǎn wàng qù ， màn tiān dōu shì wǔ yán liù sè de jiàn qì ， fēn luò rú yǔ ， xiàng zhe xū wú hū xiào ér qù 。
嗤嗤的破空声传入耳朵，几乎将整个天空都给遮挡住，放眼望去，漫天都是五颜六色的剑气，纷落如雨，向着虚无呼啸而去。
Blood spewed out, but this fellow's abilities were truly formidable. Despite being in dire straits, he refused to give up. With a fierce shout, a blood beam shot from his mouth.
“ shǔ bèi ！”
“鼠辈！”
It circled around his shoulders and detached one of his arms. Then with a loud explosion, the terrifying qi wave blocked the approaching true spirits and sword qi.
xū wú zì rán shì bó rán dà nù ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， zěn me kě néng zuò yǐ dài bì ne ？
虚无自然是勃然大怒，这种情况下，怎么可能坐以待毙呢？
Cutting off his arm!
rán ér yī zhe bù shèn mǎn pán jiē shū ， cǐ kè de tā 。 dàng zhēn tǐ yàn dào hǔ luò píng yáng ， lóng yóu qiǎn tān ， shì dǎo méi dào hé zhòng dì bù 。
然而一着不慎满盘皆输，此刻的他。当真体验到虎落平阳，龙游浅滩，是倒霉到何种地步。
This fellow was truly remarkable. Seizing this opportunity, he transformed into a streak of lightning to break free. Such an outcome surprised Lin Xuan as well; he couldn't help but think that perhaps this would allow him to escape with his life.
míng míng yǒu zhe yī shēn jīng rén shén tōng ， què nán yǐ shī zhǎn ， jiǔ tóu zhēn líng gè yǒu gè de nán chán ， zài jiā shàng nà màn tiān de jiàn qì ， yī zhuǎn yǎn ， jiù tū pò le tā de fáng yù 。
明明有着一身惊人神通，却难以施展，九头真灵各有各的难缠，再加上那漫天的剑气，一转眼，就突破了他的防御。
But just then, the figure blurred, and the rat-faced tyrant appeared before him, blocking his escape route.
xū wú suī rán méi yǒu yǔn luò ， dàn biàn tǐ lín shāng què shì nán miǎn le 。
虚无虽然没有陨落，但遍体鳞伤却是难免了。
The Void Tyrant's eyes turned red with hatred. "You scoundrel! I treated you kindly. Why did you betray me?"
xiān xuè huī sǎ ér chū ， dàn zhè jiā huo de shén tōng dàng zhēn bù sú 。 shēn chù nì jìng ， què jué bù fàng qì ， yī shēng duàn hē ， yī dào xuè máng cóng zì jǐ de zuǐ bā zhōng yī fēi ér chū 。
鲜血挥洒而出，但这家伙的神通当真不俗。身处逆境，却绝不放弃，一声断喝，一道血芒从自己的嘴巴中一飞而出。
"Ha ha, I'm Nai Long."
suí hòu wéi zhe jiān bǎng yī rào ， jū rán jiāng zì jǐ de gē bó xiè le xià lái 。
随后围着肩膀一绕，居然将自己的胳膊卸了下来。
The other's expression was a playful grin, nearly making the Void Tyrant spit out old blood.
suí hòu “ hōng ” de yī shēng bào kāi ， kě pà de qì làng jī shè ， yìng shēng shēng jiāng pū guò lái de zhēn líng yǔ jiàn qì dǎng zhù le 。
随后“轰”的一声爆开，可怕的气浪激射，硬生生将扑过来的真灵与剑气挡住了。
With an incredulous look: "You're Nai Long? Impossible! Even if you can disguise yourself, how could you impersonate one of our域外天魔 and even fool me?"
zhuàng shì duàn wàn ！
壮士断腕！
Nai Long’s true power was formidable, but no true immortal had such abilities.
zhè jiā huo dàng zhēn liǎo de ， jiè zhe zhè ge kòng xì ， tā huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng xiǎng yào tū wéi ér chū 。 zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， biàn shì lín xuān yě shǐ liào wèi jí ， àn jiào bù hǎo ， nán bù chéng zhè yàng 。 dōu ràng tā táo chū le shēng tiān qù 。
这家伙当真了得，借着这个空隙，他化为一道惊虹想要突围而出。这样的结果，便是林轩也始料未及，暗叫不好，难不成这样。都让他逃出了生天去。
Lin Xuan was also surprised. He still had great confidence in his Divine Phoenix Eyes, but this fellow seemed flawless. Clearly, he was a域外天魔, how could Nai Long be the big brother?
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， rén yǐng yī zhèn mó hú ， nà zhāng tóu shǔ mù de mó zūn ， jū rán liào dí xiān jī bān de zài zhè jiā huo shēn qián fú xiàn ér chū 。
然而就在这时，人影一阵模糊，那獐头鼠目的魔尊，居然料敌先机般的在这家伙身前浮现而出。
"Seeing is believing, do you know why pigs die?" The rat-faced tyrant's expression was smug: "Because they're stupid."
dǎng zhù tā táo pǎo de tuì lù 。
挡住他逃跑的退路。
"Haha, who says impersonating a域外天魔 requires disguise? Don't you think only you can possess another's body while I cannot?"
xū wú yǎn jīng dōu hóng le 。 liǎn shàng mǎn shì yuàn dú ， chēn mù dà hē ：“ zéi zi ， wǒ dài nǐ bù báo 。 nǐ wèi hé hài wǒ ？”
虚无眼睛都红了。脸上满是怨毒，嗔目大喝：“贼子，我待你不薄。你为何害我？”
"You... You possessed a域外天魔’s body?"
“ xī xī ， wǒ shì nài lóng 。”
“嘻嘻，我是鼐龙。”
Both were still finding it hard to believe.
duì fāng què shì yī fù xī pí xiào liǎn zhī sè ， zhè yàng de huí dá ， chà diǎn ràng xū wú yī kǒu lǎo xuè pēn chū 。
对方却是一副嬉皮笑脸之色，这样的回答，差点让虚无一口老血喷出。
"Cough, of course not me. Such a charming and dashing figure as myself would never possess such an ugly creature."
liǎn shàng dài zhe bù kě sī yì zhī sè ：“ nǐ shì nài lóng ， bù kě néng ， jiù suàn nǐ huì yì róng zhī shù ， yòu zěn me kě néng mào chōng wǒ yù wài tiān mó ， ér qiě lián běn mó jūn dōu bèi piàn guò 。”
脸上带着不可思议之色：“你是鼐龙，不可能，就算你会易容之术，又怎么可能冒充我域外天魔，而且连本魔君都被骗过。”
Nai Long the True Immortal was smug: "But although I disdain doing so, for the sake of our spiritual realm's future, temporarily cultivating a fragment of my soul to possess this newly promoted tyrant is still possible. Haha, he originally was a域外天魔; how could you, Void Tyrant, detect any flaws?"
nài lóng zhēn rén shí lì shì hěn liǎo de ， dàn jiù suàn zhēn xiān ， yě méi yǒu zhè bān běn shì de 。
鼐龙真人实力是很了得，但就算真仙，也没有这般本事的。
The Void Tyrant spat out blood in anger.
lín xuān yì gǎn jīng qí ， duì yú zì jǐ de tiān fèng shén mù ， tā hái shì hěn yǒu xìn xīn dì ， kě yǎn qián zhè ge jiā huo ， yě kàn bù chū fēn háo bù tuǒ ， míng míng jiù shì yù wài tiān mó méi cuò ， zěn me kě néng shì nài lóng dà gē 。
林轩亦感惊奇，对于自己的天凤神目，他还是很有信心地，可眼前这个家伙，也看不出分毫不妥，明明就是域外天魔没错，怎么可能是鼐龙大哥。
Nai Long’s words had some merit, but what truly deceived him was the other's attitude.
“ shǎo jiàn duō guài ， zhī dào zhū shì zěn me sǐ de me ？” nà zhāng tóu shǔ mù de mó zūn biǎo qíng què shì dé yì dào le jí diǎn ：“ bèn sǐ de 。”
“少见多怪，知道猪是怎么死的么？”那獐头鼠目的魔尊表情却是得意到了极点：“笨死的。”
Think about it—Nai Long the True Immortal was one of the top existences in all three realms. His reputation and power were almost on par with Loose Immortals and Demon Kings. Such a high-ranking cultivator would naturally be proud and arrogant.
“ hēi hēi ， shuí shuō mào chōng yù wài tiān mó ， jiù yí dìng dé shī zhǎn yì róng huà xíng zhī shù ， nán dào jiù zhǐ xǔ nǐ men duó shě ， yǐ wéi běn shuài gē jiù bú huì me ？”
“嘿嘿，谁说冒充域外天魔，就一定得施展易容化形之术，难道就只许你们夺舍，以为本帅哥就不会么？”
But Nai Long did what? He bowed, flattered, and even became his disciple. For any great being, this was an insult that no one would endure. Yet Nai Long took it in stride; Lin Xuan couldn't fathom how he could accept such a humiliation.
“ nǐ …… nǐ duó shě yù wài tiān mó ？”
“你……你夺舍域外天魔？”
The Void Tyrant's eyes bulged with rage as his heart filled with sorrow. But Nai Long did not feel ashamed and wore an extremely smug expression, turning to Lin Xuan: "How does my wisdom impress you, little brother? Have you been bowing down in admiration?"
liǎng rén hái shì jué de yǒu xiē tài bù kě sī yì le 。
两人还是觉得有些太不可思议了。
Lin Xuan was speechless...
“ hāi hāi ， dāng rán bú shì wǒ ， běn shuài gē zhè me fēng liú tì tǎng ， xiāo sǎ yīng jùn de rén wù ， zěn me kě néng duó shě zhè me chǒu de jiā huo ne ？”
“咳咳，当然不是我，本帅哥这么风流倜傥，潇洒英俊的人物，怎么可能夺舍这么丑的家伙呢？”
Nai Long's thick face was truly impressive; he didn't know how to respond. He could only smile it off—after all, Nai Long was his big brother. While he couldn’t praise him, he certainly wouldn’t undermine him!
nài lóng zhēn rén zài nà lǐ yáng yáng zì dé ：“ bù guò wǒ suī rán bù xiè zhè me zuò ， dàn wèi le wǒ men líng jiè de qián tú ， lín shí xiū liàn shàng yī lǚ fēn hún ， duó shě gè gāng gāng jìn jí de mó zūn ， hái shì bàn dé dào de ， hēi hēi ， zhè jiā huo yuán běn jiù shì yù wài tiān mó ， nǐ xū wú yòu zěn me kě néng kàn dé chū pò zhàn lái ne ？”
鼐龙真人在那里洋洋自得：“不过我虽然不屑这么做，但为了我们灵界的前途，临时修炼上一缕分魂，夺舍个刚刚晋级的魔尊，还是办得到的，嘿嘿，这家伙原本就是域外天魔，你虚无又怎么可能看得出破绽来呢？”
The Void Tyrant, unable to bear it any longer, roared in anger and lunged at Nai Long.
“ nǐ ……”
“你……”
Indeed, Nai Long was remarkable. The Void Tyrant's situation was dire; originally, he intended to escape, but Nai Long’s rage made him forget his own safety, wanting to eliminate Nai Long.
xū wú qì dé hún shēn chàn dǒu bù yǐ ， zhè cì shì zhēn de yī kǒu xiān xuè pēn le chū qù 。
虚无气得浑身颤抖不已，这次是真的一口鲜血喷了出去。
However, he forgot that the tyrant before him was merely a puppet controlled by a fragment of Nai Long’s soul.
nài lóng zhēn rén suǒ yán ， gù rán yě yǒu jǐ fēn dào lǐ ， dàn zhēn zhèng lìng tā shàng dàng de ， qí shí shì duì fāng de tài dù 。
鼐龙真人所言，固然也有几分道理，但真正令他上当的，其实是对方的态度。
Seeing him approach, the tyrant didn't dodge but instead showed a hint of satisfaction.
xiǎng xiǎng ， táng táng nài lóng zhēn rén ， fàng yǎn sān jiè ， nà yě shì zuì dǐng jí de cún zài ， míng shēng shí lì ， jī hū néng yǔ sàn xiān yāo wáng píng qí ， zhè zhǒng děng jiē de xiū xiān zhě ， nǎ yí gè bú shì xīn gāo qì ào de 。
想想，堂堂鼐龙真人，放眼三界，那也是最顶级的存在，名声实力，几乎能与散仙妖王平齐，这种等阶的修仙者，哪一个不是心高气傲的。
Both were close enough for their bodies to collide. Although the Void Tyrant was blinded by rage, he wasn’t a fool and realized his mistake in a flash. He tried to avoid it but was too late.
kě nài lóng zhēn rén zuò le shén me ， xiàng tā yòu shì xíng lǐ ， yòu shì pāi mǎ pì ， yú cí cháo sòng ， zuì hòu hái guāi guāi zuò le zì jǐ de tú dì ， zhè duì rèn hé yī míng dà néng lái shuō ， dōu shì chǐ rǔ 。
可鼐龙真人做了什么，像他又是行礼，又是拍马屁，谀词潮送，最后还乖乖做了自己的徒弟，这对任何一名大能来说，都是耻辱。
"Stupid, you seek your own death; blame not this handsome fellow."
níng sǐ yě bú huì yǒu rén yuàn yì zhè me zuò ， kě nài lóng zhēn rén què gān zhī rú yí ， zì jǐ xiǎng pò tóu yě bú huì xiǎng dào a ， cǐ bài fēi zhàn zhī zuì ， ér shì dī gū le nài lóng zhēn rén de wú chǐ 。
宁死也不会有人愿意这么做，可鼐龙真人却甘之如饴，自己想破头也不会想到啊，此败非战之罪，而是低估了鼐龙真人的无耻。
Nai Long's smug voice echoed as his body suddenly expanded like an inflated balloon. The Void Tyrant knew exactly what Nai Long intended, his face turning pale with dread. (To be continued...)
Indeed, a命魔 treasure!
Such an outcome was unforeseen even by Lin Xuan. A look of surprise appeared on his face.
But with a loud explosion heard, the astonishing qi wave enveloped the void, and from within came the other party's shocked and angry scolding.
