这一次便是雨桐仙子，也忍不住玉容失色，鼐龙真人吊儿郎当的表情亦消失了，二人对视一眼，脸上的表情都带着骇然。{顶}点{小}说3.
This time, even Rain桐 Fairy couldn't help showing a pale face. Master Nai Long's carefree expression vanished as well; the two exchanged glances and their faces showed shock.
biàn shì dāng nián de ā xiū luó ， yě jué méi yǒu zhè yàng de xiū xíng sù dù 。
便是当年的阿修罗，也绝没有这样的修行速度。
The Asura from that year would never have such rapid cultivation progress.
“ sān dì ， nǐ què rèn méi yǒu nòng cuò ？”
“三弟，你确认没有弄错？”
"Third Brother, are you sure there was no mistake?"
“ tián xiǎo jiàn ， xiǎo dì zěn me huì bù shí dé ， zhè qī sè xuán bīng huǒ ， yì shì qīn yǎn jiàn tā shī zhǎn guò ， wǒ yǒu bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de bǎ wò 。” lín xuān zhǎn dīng jié tiě de shuō 。
“田小剑，小弟怎么会不识得，这七色玄冰火，亦是亲眼见他施展过，我有百分之百的把握。”林轩斩钉截铁的说。
"How could I not recognize Xiao Jian? I've seen him use the Seven-Colored Profound Ice Fire with my own eyes. I'm one hundred percent certain," Lin Xuan said decisively.
jiàn lín xuān rú cǐ dǔ dìng ， sān rén mò mò bù yǔ ， dōu zài kǔ sī zhe tián xiǎo jiàn jiū jìng yǒu zěn yàng de qí yù 。
见林轩如此笃定，三人默默不语，都在苦思着田小剑究竟有怎样的奇遇。
Seeing Lin Xuan's certainty, the three remained silent, each pondering what kind of extraordinary experience Xiao Jian might have had.
rán ér sī liáng piàn kè ， què shì yì diǎn tóu xù yě wú 。
然而思量片刻，却是一点头绪也无。
After a moment’s thought, they still came up empty-handed.
zhè zhǒng shì qíng ruò fēi qīn shēn jīng lì ， qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， gēn běn jiù shì nán yǐ lìng rén zhì xìn de 。
这种事情若非亲身经历，亲眼目睹，根本就是难以令人置信的。
Such matters could only be believed if experienced firsthand and witnessed with one's own eyes.
sān rén dōu shì líng jiè zuì dǐng jí de dà néng ， yě huó liǎo wú shù de suì yuè ， jiàn shí zhī guǎng ， bù yòng lèi shù ， kě zhè yàng de shì qíng ， zhēn de tài bù kě sī yì le 。
三人都是灵界最顶级的大能，也活了无数的岁月，见识之广，不用累述，可这样的事情，真的太不可思议了。
...
……
……
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, the instigator who caused countless troubles for Lin Xuan and his companions was now showing an indifferent expression.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， bù zhī dào duō shǎo wàn lǐ zhī wài ， gěi lín xuān děng rén zào chéng wú shù kùn rǎo de shǐ zuò yǒng zhě ， què shì yī fù yì tài xián sǎn zhī sè 。
与此同时，不知道多少万里之外，给林轩等人造成无数困扰的始作俑者，却是一副意态闲散之色。
This was a vast marshland. Xiao Jian hovered in mid-air, surrounded by tens of thousands of域外天魔 on all sides. Each emitted demonic energy and had grotesque appearances; their numbers reached over ten thousand.
zhè shì yī piàn wú yín de zhǎo zé 。
这是一片无垠的沼泽。
On the surface, it wasn't out of the ordinary, but these creatures from beyond the celestial realm were mostly at the Spirit Transformation stage or higher. They formed a formidable force.
tián xiǎo jiàn xuán fú zài bàn kōng ， céng céng dié dié ， tā de shēn cè ， wéi mǎn le shǔ yǐ wàn jì de yù wài tiān mó 。
田小剑悬浮在半空，层层叠叠，他的身侧，围满了数以万计的域外天魔。
Facing so many high-ranking heavenly demons, even an average domain powerhouse would only be able to flee in terror. Moreover, among the leading demons, there were over ten demon sovereigns, with seven of them being late-stage and five mid-stage. The remaining one was an early-stage demon sovereign whose power was extremely pure, far beyond ordinary existence.
měi yí gè dōu kǒu pēn mó qì ， xíng mào gǔ guài yǐ jí ， shù liàng zú yǒu shí yú wàn zhī jù 。
每一个都口喷魔气，形貌古怪以极，数量足有十余万之巨。
Even though Grandmaster Guang Han had lost a limb, it was indeed a great humiliation. But if he knew the fate of the域外天魔 outside his domain now, he would likely be laughing in secret.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， bú shì hěn lí pǔ ， dàn zhè xiē lái zì tiān wài mó yù de jiā huo ， xiū wèi zuì dī de yě zài fēn shén qī 。
表面上看，不是很离谱，但这些来自天外魔域的家伙，修为最低的也在分神期。
The light arc appeared and the path to immortality became visible. The ongoing war between the three realms and the域外天魔 had almost reached a standstill. Even Demon King Yu Ling couldn't avoid it; he too arrived at the Kingdom of Qing Qiu.
kě yǐ shuō ， shì yī gǔ jué dà de shì lì 。
可以说，是一股绝大的势力。
However, those remaining outside Guang Han's domain were in for a tough time. In just half a month, Xiao Jian destroyed over ten demon cities, leaving not one域外天魔 unscathed. News spread, and while human cultivators rejoiced, they were also filled with fear.
miàn duì zhè me duō gāo jiē tiān mó ， biàn shì pǔ tōng de lǐng yù qiáng zhě ， yě zhǐ yǒu wàng fēng ér táo yī shuō ， gèng hé kuàng zhè xiē tiān mó zhōng lǐng tóu de ， hái yǒu shí yú wèi mó zūn jí bié de qiáng zhě 。
面对这么多高阶天魔，便是普通的领域强者，也只有望风而逃一说，更何况这些天魔中领头的，还有十余位魔尊级别的强者。
The appearance of such a star in Guang Han's domain was indeed unfortunate for the域外天魔, but their hearts were just as agitated. No one wanted to sit idly by. Although Demon King Yu Ling wasn't here, there would naturally be other powerful beings among the demons.
qī míng hòu qī ， wǔ míng zhōng qī ， wéi yī de yī míng chū qī mó zūn fǎ lì yì shì jīng chún yǐ jí ， xiǎn rán yuǎn fēi xún cháng cún zài kě bǐ 。
七名后期，五名中期，唯一的一名初期魔尊法力亦是精纯以极，显然远非寻常存在可比。
After paying a hefty price, they finally lured Xiao Jian to this place and fell into their ambush. This marshland not only concentrated tens of thousands of their demon elites but also set up an array for decisive annihilation, with several array mages in charge. They no longer believed that he could escape alive.
guǎng hán zhēn rén bèi zhǎn le yī bì ， gù rán shì qí chǐ dà rǔ 。 dàn ruò shì tā zhī dào cǐ kè guǎng hán jiè yù wài tiān mó de zāo yù ， kǒng pà jiù huì tōu xiào le 。
广寒真人被斩了一臂，固然是奇耻大辱。但若是他知道此刻广寒界域外天魔的遭遇，恐怕就会偷笑了。
In other words, Xiao Jian's current situation was extremely precarious; they had lured him into the pot. He was already inside it.
guāng hú xiàn ， xiān lù xiǎn ， rú jīn sān jiè yǔ yù wài tiān mó de zhàn huǒ ， jī hū yǐ chǔ yú tíng dùn de zhuàng tài ， yáo líng wáng yì bù néng miǎn sú ， tóng yàng lái dào le qīng qiū zhī guó 。
光弧现，仙路显，如今三界与域外天魔的战火，几乎已处于停顿的状态，鰩灵王亦不能免俗，同样来到了青丘之国。
Despite his cleverness, Xiao Jian couldn't have failed to notice anything. However, his expression remained unconcerned.
ér yī jiù liú zài guǎng hán jiè de tiān wài mó tóu men ， kě jiù dào le dà méi 。
而依旧留在广寒界的天外魔头们，可就倒了大霉。
"Having worked so hard to bring me here, are you all satisfied?"
duǎn duǎn bàn yuè de gōng fu ， jiù bèi tián xiǎo jiàn cuī huǐ le mó chéng shí yú zuò ， lǐ miàn de yù wài tiān mó 。 lián yí gè xìng miǎn de yě wú ， quán bèi zhè xiǎo zi tú chuō 。
短短半月的功夫，就被田小剑摧毁了魔城十余座，里面的域外天魔。连一个幸免的也无，全被这小子屠戳。
"What? You know we brought you here, why did you fall for our trap?"
xiāo xī chuán kāi ， rén lèi xiū shì gù rán huān xǐ ， dàn yě dǎn zhàn xīn jīng yǐ jí 。
消息传开，人类修士固然欢喜，但也胆战心惊以极。
"Did you plan this from the start, setting a trap and then falling into it?"
zhè me yí gè shà xīng chū xiàn zài guǎng hán jiè ， suī rán dǎo méi de shì yù wài tiān mó ， dàn tā men xīn zhōng ， yī yàng shì jiāo zào bù ān de 。
这么一个煞星出现在广寒界，虽然倒霉的是域外天魔，但他们心中，一样是焦躁不安的。
...
rén lèi xiū shì shàng rú cǐ ， yù wài tiān mó de gǎn chù kě xiǎng ér zhī ， méi yǒu rén yuàn yì zuò yǐ dài bì 。 yáo líng wáng suī rán bù zài zhè lǐ ， dàn tiān mó zhōng zì rán huì yǒu qí tā qiáng zhě 。
人类修士尚如此，域外天魔的感触可想而知，没有人愿意坐以待毙。鰩灵王虽然不在这里，但天魔中自然会有其他强者。
The faces of those ten demon sovereigns turned grim. Their voices echoed with urgency as they looked at Xiao Jian.
zài fù chū bù fēi de dài jià zhī hòu ， zhōng yú jiāng tián xiǎo jiàn yǐn dào le cǐ chù ， xiàn rù le tā men de mái fú 。 zài zhè piàn qīng fú zhǎo zé ， bù jǐn jí zhōng le shí yú wàn tā men mó zú de jīng ruì ， hái bù zhì le yǐ jué shā de zhèn fǎ ， yòu yǒu tā men jǐ gè zhǔ chí 。 bù xiāng xìn duì fāng néng gòu táo chū shēng tiān le qù 。
在付出不菲的代价之后，终于将田小剑引到了此处，陷入了他们的埋伏。在这片青浮沼泽，不仅集中了十余万他们魔族的精锐，还布置了以绝杀的阵法，又有他们几个主持。不相信对方能够逃出生天了去。
A man's name casts a shadow; this mysterious youth’s recent achievements were truly impressive.
huàn jù huà shuō ， tián xiǎo jiàn rú jīn chǔ jìng bù miào yǐ jí ， qǐng jūn rù wèng 。 tā rú jīn yǐ zài wèng lǐ 。
换句话说，田小剑如今处境不妙以极，请君入瓮。他如今已在瓮里。
"Don't be afraid; he might just be showing off. With so many powerful experts gathered here, can we not handle a young upstart?"
yǐ tián xiǎo jiàn de cōng míng ， bù kě néng yī sī chá jué yě wú ， kě tā liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， yī jiù shì yī liǎn de háo bù zài hū 。
以田小剑的聪明，不可能一丝察觉也无，可他脸上的表情，依旧是一脸的毫不在乎。
At that moment, an eerie voice sounded. The speaking demon had a peculiar appearance, resembling a building but emitting the aura of a late-stage realm transcender.
“ fèi jǐn xīn kǔ ， jiāng xiǎo yé yǐn dào cǐ chù ， nǐ men kě shì chèn xīn rú yì le ？”
“费尽辛苦，将小爷引到此处，你们可是称心如意了？”
Building? Don’t misunderstand; it was indeed a real域外天魔. These foreign demons’ forms were bizarre and couldn't be judged by common sense.
“ shén me ， nǐ zhī dào shì wǒ men jiāng nǐ yǐn lái ， nà wèi hé hái shàng dàng shòu piàn ？”
“什么，你知道是我们将你引来，那为何还上当受骗？”
"Old Wood has spoken wisely; don't let him scare us. Activate the array. Now, either you die or I do. This time, we must extract his soul."
“ nán dào nǐ shì gù yì ， jiāng jì jiù jì ？”
“难道你是故意，将计就计？”
A hoarse voice echoed, belonging to a demon with a green face and sharp teeth. His suggestion was met with several nods, and several array mages appeared among the crowd.
……
……
"Hmph, truly ignorant of death."
nà shí yú míng mó zūn liǎn sè dùn shí nán kàn yǐ jí ， qī zuǐ bā shé de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， wàng xiàng tián xiǎo jiàn de biǎo qíng dōu dài yǒu jǐ fēn wèi jù zhī sè 。
那十余名魔尊脸色顿时难看以极，七嘴八舌的声音传入耳朵，望向田小剑的表情都带有几分畏惧之色。
Xiao Jian's lips curled in mockery: "Do you really think I'm just showing off? You blind fools, since you're not afraid to die, let this young master send you to hell."
rén de míng ， shù de yǐng ， zhè shén mì shào nián jìn lái de zhàn jì ， shí zài shì biāo hàn yǐ jí 。
人的名，树的影，这神秘少年近来的战绩，实在是彪悍以极。
Before his words were finished, Xiao Jian extended his hand gracefully. Unlike Lin Xuan, Xiao Jian was exceptionally handsome and well-proportioned; his slender fingers looked almost feminine.
“ huāng shén me ， ān zhī tā bú shì zài xū zhāng shēng shì ， wǒ men zhè me duō gāo shǒu qí jù yú cǐ ， nán dào hái duì fù bù liǎo tā yí gè hòu shēng wǎn bèi me ？”
“慌什么，安知他不是在虚张声势，我们这么多高手齐聚于此，难道还对付不了他一个后生晚辈么？”
As he flipped his wrist, a flame appeared in his palm.
jiù zài zhè shí ， yī cāng liáng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shuō huà de yù wài tiān mó ， zhǎng xiàng què shí fēn qí tè ， kàn shàng qù jiù xiàng yī dòng lóu gé ， rán ér què sàn fà chū dù jié hòu qī de qiáng dà bō dòng 。
就在这时，一苍凉的声音传入耳朵，说话的域外天魔，长相却十分奇特，看上去就像一栋楼阁，然而却散发出渡劫后期的强大波动。
Seven-colored crystal!
lóu gé ， bié wù huì ， tā kě bú shì bǎo wù ， ér shì huò zhēn jià shí de yù wài tiān mó ， zhè xiē yì yù mó tóu de xíng tài ， yuán běn jiù guāng guài lù lí ， bù néng yòng cháng lǐ chuǎi mó dì 。
楼阁，别误会，他可不是宝物，而是货真价实的域外天魔，这些异域魔头的形态，原本就光怪陆离，不能用常理揣摩地。
Xiao Jian blew on it.
“ mù lǎo yán zhī yǒu lǐ ， bù kě bèi tā xià zhù ， jiāng zhèn fǎ kāi qǐ ， rú jīn bú shì nǐ sǐ jiù shì wǒ huó ， zhè cì yí dìng yào jiāng zhè kě wù de xiǎo jiā huo chōu hún liàn pò 。”
“木老言之有理，不可被他吓住，将阵法开启，如今不是你死就是我活，这次一定要将这可恶的小家伙抽魂炼魄。”
"Whoosh!"
yī sī yǎ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shuō huà de shì yī míng qīng miàn liáo yá de yù wài tiān mó ， ér tā de tí yì dé dào le shù shēng yìng hè ， dùn shí yǒu jǐ míng zhèn fǎ shī zài rén qún zhōng xiǎn xiàn ér chū 。
一嘶哑的声音传入耳朵，说话的是一名青面獠牙的域外天魔，而他的提议得到了数声应和，顿时有几名阵法师在人群中显现而出。
The flame seemed to float like feathers, moving slowly but suddenly arrived before a域外天魔.
“ hēng ， zhēn shì bù zhī sǐ huó 。”
“哼，真是不知死活。”
It was about the size of an egg and although beautiful, it didn't seem to carry any power.
tián xiǎo jiàn de zuǐ jiǎo biān què lù chū jǐ fēn jī cháo zhī sè ：“ jìng yǐ wéi wǒ shì zài xū zhāng shēng shì me ， yī qún yǒu yǎn wú zhū de chǔn huò ， jì rán nǐ men bù zhī sǐ huó ， nà běn shào yé jiù sòng nǐ men qù yīn cáo dì fǔ 。”
田小剑的嘴角边却露出几分讥嘲之色：“竟以为我是在虚张声势么，一群有眼无珠的蠢货，既然你们不知死活，那本少爷就送你们去阴曹地府。”
"What is this?"
huà yīn wèi luò ， tián xiǎo jiàn jiāng shǒu sà rán shēn chū ， yǔ lín xuān bù tóng ， tián xiǎo jiàn kě shì zhǎng dé yīng jùn yǐ jí ， shēn cái yún chèn ， nà shǒu yì shì xiān xì ， kàn shàng qù yǒu jǐ fēn xiàng shì nǚ zǐ 。
话音未落，田小剑将手飒然伸出，与林轩不同，田小剑可是长得英俊以极，身材匀称，那手亦是纤细，看上去有几分像是女子。
A mid-stage realm transcender demon swung his large sword without much thought.
rán ér suí zhe tā shǒu wàn fān zhuǎn ， zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng què chū xiàn le yì diǎn huǒ yàn 。
然而随着他手腕翻转，掌心之中却出现了一点火焰。
"Stop!" Old Wood shouted, but it was too late. The demonic blade struck the flame with a gust of wind.
qī sè liú lí ！
七色琉璃！
An unbelievable scene unfolded: the sword wrapped in demonic energy ignited as soon as it touched the fire. Not just the treasure, the flame seemed to be a cargo, enveloping the demon's left hand and turning him into a huge ball of flames.
suí hòu tián xiǎo jiàn chōng zhe tā chuī le kǒu qì 。
随后田小剑冲着它吹了口气。
"Ahh!"
“ hū ！”
“呼！”
A scream echoed, and the unfortunate demon's face twisted in agony. He charged towards mid-air with the seven-colored crystal flame but only flew a dozen feet before rolling desperately in the fire, screaming.
nà huǒ yàn jiù rú tóng yǔ máo ， suí fēng piāo luò ， kàn shì jí huǎn ， dàn yī zhǎ yǎn ， jiù lái dào le yī míng yù wài tiān mó de miàn qián 。
那火焰就如同羽毛，随风飘落，看似极缓，但一眨眼，就来到了一名域外天魔的面前。
Wherever he went, the sound of breaking and crashing was heard as more域外天魔 were knocked down.
yǔ jī dàn dà xiǎo xiāng chà fǎng fú ， kàn shàng qù suī rán měi lì ， dàn què gǎn jué bú dào wēi néng de qì xī 。
与鸡蛋大小相差仿佛，看上去虽然美丽，但却感觉不到威能的气息。
This wasn't remarkable, but what followed sent shivers down everyone's spine. All those who were hit by him, regardless of their cultivation level, ignited like the unlucky one. They rolled in agony, enveloped by seven-colored crystal flames...
“ zhè shì shén me dōng xī ？”
“这是什么东西？”
And wherever they went, more demons were knocked down...
nà shì yī míng fèn shén zhōng qī de tiān mó ， méi yǒu duō zuò sī suǒ ， zhí jiē huī wǔ shǒu zhōng de dà dāo xiàng qí yī kǎn ér luò 。
那是一名分神中期的天魔，没有多做思索，直接挥舞手中的大刀向其一砍而落。
"Stay back."
“ bù kě ！”
“不可！”
"Run! Leave this place quickly."
mù lǎo chū shēng hè zhǐ ， kě xī yǐ jīng wǎn le ， mó rèn shì jiā jìng fēng ， jié jiē shí shí de yǔ nà huǒ yàn xiāng chù 。
木老出声喝止，可惜已经晚了，魔刃势夹劲风，结结实实的与那火焰相触。
...
suí hòu bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le 。
随后不可思议的一幕发生了。
The demons shouted in unison.
nà mó qì chán rào de dà dāo ， yī yǔ cǐ huǒ jiē chù ，“ hū ” de yī xià jiù bèi diǎn rán le ， bù …… bù zhǐ shì bǎo wù ， nà huǒ yàn fǎng fú huò wù ， suí zhe cǐ mó de zuǒ shǒu ， yī xià jiù jiāng tā biàn chéng le jù dà de huǒ qiú 。
那魔气缠绕的大刀，一与此火接触，“呼”的一下就被点燃了，不……不止是宝物，那火焰仿佛货物，随着此魔的左手，一下就将他变成了巨大的火球。
The burning demons rolled and crashed, serving as a warning to others. The remaining demons scattered in terror, fleeing for their lives.
“ a ！”
“啊！”
PS: I'm truly sorry; today I couldn't resist my wife's "tiger roar" and was dragged out for shopping instead. (To be continued...)
This time, even Rain桐 Fairy couldn't help showing a pale face. Master Nai Long's carefree expression vanished as well; the two exchanged glances and their faces showed shock.
The Asura from that year would never have such rapid cultivation progress.
