“ bù cuò ， bù cuò ， nǐ men dōu hěn liǎo bù qǐ ， rú guǒ wǒ zhǐ yǒu biǎo miàn zhè diǎn shí lì ， yě xǔ zhēn huì yīn gōu fān chuán yú cǐ dì 。” tián xiāng fǔ zhǎng dà xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
“不错，不错，你们都很了不起，如果我只有表面这点实力，也许真会阴沟翻船于此地。”田襄抚掌大笑的声音传入耳朵里。
Fielding's hands clapped with a loud laugh that reached Lin Xuan’s ears.
“ nǐ zhè huà hé yì ？”
“你这话何意？”
"What do you mean by that?"
lín xuān de liǎn shàng mǎn shì jǐng tì ， xīn zhōng yǒu bù hǎo de yù gǎn fú xiàn ér qǐ 。
林轩的脸上满是警惕，心中有不好的预感浮现而起。
Lin Xuan’s face was filled with vigilance, and an ominous feeling arose within him.
“ hé yì ？”
“何意？”
"What do I mean?" Fielding laughed. "You all did well. Your hidden cards are impressive, but don’t think for a moment that as the Primordial Daoist, my power is limited to what you’ve seen."
tián xiāng xiào le ：“ nǐ men dōu bù cuò ， dǐ pái lìng rén zé shé ， bù guò dà gē nǐ bú huì tiān zhēn de yǐ wéi ， shēn wèi dào zǔ de wǒ ， jiù zhǐ yǒu gāng gāng biǎo xiàn chū lái de nà yì diǎn lì liàng le 。”
田襄笑了：“你们都不错，底牌令人咋舌，不过大哥你不会天真的以为，身为道祖的我，就只有刚刚表现出来的那一点力量了。”
"Hidden cards? Don’t I have one too?"
“ dǐ pái zhè dōng xī ， nán dào wǒ jiù bú huì cáng yī shǒu me ？”
“底牌这东西，难道我就不会藏一手么？”
"What?"
“ shén me ？”
“什么？”
Lin Xuan and his companions exchanged glances, their faces turning pale.
lín xuān yǔ zhòng rén miàn miàn xiāng qù ， liǎn sè dōu biàn dé tiě qīng yǐ jí 。
林轩与众人面面相觑，脸色都变得铁青以极。
Two layers of energy?
liǎng céng fǎ lì ？
两层法力？
If Fielding’s words were true, this battle would leave no room for hope.
ruò duì fāng suǒ yán shì zhēn de ， nà zhè yī zhàn ， jiāng fēn háo xī wàng yě wú 。
若对方所言是真的，那这一战，将分毫希望也无。
Could the Primordial Daoist's power truly be so terrifying?
dào zǔ de shí lì ， zhēn kě pà dào rú cǐ chéng dù ？
道祖的实力，真可怕到如此程度？
"Hmph. Judging by your expressions, you doubt what I say. Fine, let me show you just how terrifying it can be!"
“ hēng ， kàn nǐ men de biǎo qíng ， shì huái yí běn zuò suǒ shuō ， yě bà ， nà jiù ràng nǐ men tǐ huì yī xià ， shén me cái jiào zuò zhēn zhèng de kǒng bù ba ！”
“哼，看你们的表情，是怀疑本座所说，也罢，那就让你们体会一下，什么才叫做真正的恐怖吧！”
Fielding’s tone turned icy as he raised his right hand. A giant scorpion shadow materialized in mid-air.
tián xiāng shuō dào zhè lǐ ， yǔ qì yǐ biàn dé bīng lěng yǐ jí 。
田襄说到这里，语气已变得冰冷以极。
A secret technique of manifestation?
yòu shǒu yī tái ， xū kōng zhōng ， jìng yǒu yī jù dà de xiē zi xū yǐng fú xiàn chū lái 。
右手一抬，虚空中，竟有一巨大的蝎子虚影浮现出来。
No, it was his right hand manifesting this.
fǎ xiàng mì shù ？
法相秘术？
Unlike a regular scorpion, the monster before them had dozens of tails.
bú duì ， shì tā yòu shǒu huàn huà ér chū 。
不对，是他右手幻化而出。
Its body was somewhat hazy, like something conjured by spirit energy, while its tails were incredibly solid. The hooks on each tail were over ten feet long and shimmered with a sinister glow.
yǔ pǔ tōng de xiē zi bù tóng ， yǎn qián zhè guài wù de wěi ba ， jū rán yǒu shù shí tiáo zhī duō 。
与普通的蝎子不同，眼前这怪物的尾巴，居然有数十条之多。
A blur, and more than a dozen tails swayed wildly. Lin Xuan saw only a flash of black before sharp barbs pierced his face.
tā de shēn tǐ yǒu xiē mó hú ， xiàng shì líng lì huàn huà zhī wù ， ér wěi ba què níng shí yǐ jí 。 dào gōu zhǎng yǒu zhàng xǔ ， sēn rán de guāng zé shǎn shuò bù yǐ 。
它的身体有些模糊，像是灵力幻化之物，而尾巴却凝实以极。倒钩长有丈许，森然的光泽闪烁不已。
With a chilling light, they plunged down!
yí gè mó hú ， shí jǐ tiáo wěi ba shì ruǎn biān luàn wǔ ， lín xuān zhǐ jiàn hēi máng yī shǎn ， jiān ruì de dào cì jiù yǐ jīng lái dào le zì jǐ de miàn qián 。
一个模糊，十几条尾巴似软鞭乱舞，林轩只见黑芒一闪，尖锐的倒刺就已经来到了自己的面前。
Lin Xuan was shocked to the core!
bàn suí zhe sēn hán de guāng zé ， hěn hěn cì luò ！
伴随着森寒的光泽，狠狠刺落！
He knew this attack would be earth-shattering, but he never expected it to be so formidable.
lín xuān dà jīng shī sè ！
林轩大惊失色！
There were no signs or any trace of spirit energy. It was already perilously close.
tā zòng rán zhī dào duì fāng cǐ cì yī chū shǒu ， bì rán shì shí pò tiān jīng ， dàn yě wàn wàn bù céng xiǎng ， jū rán biāo hàn dào rú cǐ bù kě sī yì de dì bù 。
他纵然知道对方此次一出手，必然是石破天惊，但也万万不曾想，居然彪悍到如此不可思议的地步。
It wasn’t an ambush, yet it felt like one; there was no time to dodge or defend.
sī háo zhēng zhào yě wú ， gèng tán bù shàng yǒu rèn hé de líng qì bō dòng 。 jiù yǐ jīng jìn zài zhǐ chǐ le 。
丝毫征兆也无，更谈不上有任何的灵气波动。就已经近在咫尺了。
But Lin Xuan wouldn’t sit idly by.
bú shì tōu xí ， què shèng sì tōu xí ， ràng rén gēn běn jiù méi yǒu duǒ shǎn dǐ dǎng de yú dì 。
不是偷袭，却胜似偷袭，让人根本就没有躲闪抵挡的余地。
With no time for thought, everything happened in a flash. He instinctively opened his mouth and spat out a ball of green light that transformed into flames, five-colored glassy fire filled with inexplicable energy.
dàn lín xuān zì rán bú huì zuò yǐ dài bì 。
但林轩自然不会坐以待毙。
Various forces of law fluctuated on its surface.
rú jīn gēn běn bù jí duō zuò sī suǒ ， fā shēng de yī qiè yóu rú diàn guāng shí huǒ ， lín xuān jī hū shì tiáo jiàn fǎn shè bān de yī zhāng kǒu 。
如今根本不及多做思索，发生的一切犹如电光石火，林轩几乎是条件反射般的一张口。
The Illusory Heavenly Fire instantly surged, forming a sea of multi-colored flames that enveloped Lin Xuan.
yī tuán qīng guāng pēn tǔ ér chū ， yí gè shǎn shuò ， jiù huà wèi le yī tuán huǒ yàn ， wǔ sè liú lí ， chōng mǎn le bù kě sī yì de qì xī 。
一团青光喷吐而出，一个闪烁，就化为了一团火焰，五色琉璃，充满了不可思议的气息。
Simultaneously, he shouted loudly. His sleeves flapped, and the Nine Palaces Swift Sword Fish emerged. Spirit light flickered, and sword energy spread everywhere, quickly forming a formation. Anything entering would be torn to pieces by endless swordlight.
shù zhǒng fǎ zé zhī lì zài qí biǎo miàn bō dòng bù yǐ 。
数种法则之力在其表面波动不已。
With no time to summon other treasures, the Nine Palaces Swift Sword was already an extension of his will.
huàn líng tiān huǒ shùn jiān jiù bào zhǎng ér qǐ 。 huà wèi yī piàn wǔ sè huǒ hǎi ， jiāng lín xuān bāo guǒ zài qí jiān 。
幻灵天火瞬间就暴涨而起。化为一片五色火海，将林轩包裹在其间。
Moreover, a low rumbling emanated from his dantian.
tóng shí tā yī shēng dà hē ， xiù páo dǒu chù ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yú yóu ér chū 。 líng guāng shǎn shuò ， jiàn qì zòng héng bǎi hé ， zhuǎn shùn jiān ， jiù bù chéng yī jiàn zhèn bān de shì wù 。 rèn hé dōng xī yí dàn jìn rù ， dū huì bèi wú qióng wú jìn de jiàn guāng jiǎo chéng fěn mò 。
同时他一声大喝，袖袍抖处，九宫须臾剑鱼游而出。灵光闪烁，剑气纵横捭阖，转瞬间，就布成一剑阵般的事物。任何东西一旦进入，都会被无穷无尽的剑光绞成粉末。
A golden light shot out, flickered, and transformed into the shadow of aXuanwu (Black Tortoise).
biàn qǐ cāng cù ， lái bù jí jì qǐ bié de bǎo wù 。 dàn jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zuò wèi běn mìng bǎo wù ， zǎo jiù bèi lín xuān jì liàn dào shōu fā yóu xīn de dì bù 。
变起仓促，来不及祭起别的宝物。但九宫须臾剑做为本命宝物，早就被林轩祭炼到收发由心的地步。
While not the strongest in the Four Spirits, Black Tortoise’s defense was unparalleled even by true dragons.
bù jǐn rú cǐ ， lín xuān de dān tián qì hǎi chù ， yǒu zhèn zhèn dī chén de míng jiào yī chuán ér chū 。
不仅如此，林轩的丹田气海处，有阵阵低沉的鸣叫一传而出。
It leaped towards Lin Xuan.
yī tuán jīn guāng cóng lǐ miàn fēi le chū lái ， lüè yī shǎn dòng hòu ， jiù huàn huà chéng le xuán guī de xū yǐng 。
一团金光从里面飞了出来，略一闪动后，就幻化成了玄龟的虚影。
Golden light flashed, leaving no trace. A massive black turtle shell appeared on his body.
sì líng zhī xuán wǔ ， shí lì zài zhēn líng zhōng gù rán bú shì zuì qiáng de ， dàn ruò lùn fáng yù ， biàn shì zhēn lóng dōu wàng chén mò jí 。
四灵之玄武，实力在真灵中固然不是最强的，但若论防御，便是真龙都望尘莫及。
The surface was covered with spirit patterns that vaguely formed a Tai Chi symbol.
tā chū xiàn hòu ， biàn wǎng lín xuān shēn shàng yī pū 。
它出现后，便往林轩身上一扑。
Black Tortoise could divine fortune and misfortune; its defensive capabilities were greatly enhanced at this moment.
jīn guāng shǎn shuò ， zōng jì quán wú ， ér lín xuān shēn tǐ biǎo miàn ， què yǒu yī jù dà de xuán guī bèi jiǎ fú xiàn ér chū 。
金光闪烁，踪迹全无，而林轩身体表面，却有一巨大的玄龟背甲浮现而出。
In the blink of an eye, the scorpion’s tail pierced through the multi-colored flames.
shàng miàn líng wén biàn bù ， yǐn yǐn gèng pái liè gòu chéng le yī tài jí bā guà tú 。
上面灵纹遍布，隐隐更排列构成了一太极八卦图。
A loud pop sounded as Illusory Heavenly Fire flickered and surged. Various laws of nature devoured and corroded it, while ice formed a layer of white frost on the scorpion’s tail.
xuán guī ， kě bo jí xiōng ， cǐ shí duì yú fáng yù ， gèng yǒu jù dà de jiā chéng zuò yòng 。
玄龟，可卜吉凶，此时对于防御，更有巨大的加成作用。
While not entirely ineffective, it didn’t significantly slow down the attack.
zhěng gè guò chéng tù qǐ hú luò ， jǐn jǐn xū yú de gōng fu ， nà xiē zi de wěi ba yǐ cì dào le jìn chù 。
整个过程兔起鹘落，仅仅须臾的功夫，那蝎子的尾巴已刺到了近处。
The defense of Illusory Heavenly Fire was eventually broken.
shēn rù dào wǔ sè huǒ hǎi 。
深入到五色火海。
But it wasn’t over; the Nine Palaces Swift Sword began to slash wildly. Countless sword lights continuously fell upon the opponent.
dùn shí ， pū chī shēng dà zuò ， huàn líng tiān huǒ bù tíng de shǎn shuò pēn yǒng ， qí zhōng jiā zá zhe gè zhǒng gè yàng fǎ zé ， tūn shì fǔ shí bù yī ér zú ， bīng dòng gèng shì ràng xiē zi wěi ba de biǎo miàn duō chū le yī céng bái sè de bīng shuāng 。
顿时，噗嗤声大做，幻灵天火不停的闪烁喷涌，其中夹杂着各种各样法则，吞噬腐蚀不一而足，冰冻更是让蝎子尾巴的表面多出了一层白色的冰霜。
However, a shocking scene unfolded.
bù néng shuō sī háo zuò yòng yě wú ， dàn shí jì shàng ， yě bìng méi yǒu qǐ dào duō shǎo chí zhì de xiào guǒ 。
不能说丝毫作用也无，但实际上，也并没有起到多少迟滞的效果。
His ownLife Treasure (life treasure) seemed to have met its match. Each strike on the scorpion’s tail easily bounced back.
zuì zhōng ， huàn líng tiān huǒ gòu chéng de fáng yù bèi tū pò 。
最终，幻灵天火构成的防御被突破。
While some sword marks were left, they weren’t enough to sever it. Over time, these marks rapidly healed.
dàn bìng méi yǒu jié shù ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yǐ kāi shǐ zòng héng kāi hé ， wú shù de jiàn guāng yuán yuán bù jué de cháo zhe duì fāng hěn hěn zhǎn luò 。
但并没有结束，九宫须臾剑已开始纵横开阖，无数的剑光源源不绝的朝着对方狠狠斩落。
Eventually, the Nine Palaces Swift Sword formation was also broken.
kě ràng lín xuān liǎn sè fā qīng de yí mù chū xiàn le 。
可让林轩脸色发青的一幕出现了。
But the scorpion’s tail still retained much of its power.
wú jiān bù cuī de běn mìng bǎo wù ， cǐ shí què xiàng yù jiàn le kè xīng shì de ， yī zhǎn dào nà xiē zi wěi ba de shàng miàn ， jiù bèi qīng ér yì jǔ de yī dàn ér kāi le 。
无坚不摧的本命宝物，此时却像遇见了克星似的，一斩到那蝎子尾巴的上面，就被轻而易举的一弹而开了。
It continued to fall like a meteor and pierced through Lin Xuan's heart.
suī rán yě zài shàng miàn liú xià yī xiē jiàn hén ， dàn gēn běn bù zú yǐ zhǎn duàn ， bù jǐn rú cǐ ， suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， nà xiē jiàn hén hái zài xùn sù píng fù 。
虽然也在上面留下一些剑痕，但根本不足以斩断，不仅如此，随着时间的推移，那些剑痕还在迅速平复。
A blood mist emerged as his eyes lost their vitality. He was flung away, turning into an icy corpse that plummeted downward.
zuì zhōng ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn suǒ bù xià de jiàn zhèn yě tóng yàng bèi tū pò le 。
最终，九宫须臾剑所布下的剑阵也同样被突破了。
Death?
dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， nà xiē zi wěi ba de wēi néng ， yě bèi xiāo hào le hěn duō 。
但不管如何，那蝎子尾巴的威能，也被消耗了很多。
No.
rán ér tā yī jiù rú tiān wài liú xīng bān de ， hěn hěn cháo zhe lín xuān de zhā luò ， bìng qiě zuì zhōng cì zài nà xuán guī xū yǐng suǒ huà de dùn pái shàng le 。
然而它依旧如天外流星般的，狠狠朝着林轩的扎落，并且最终刺在那玄龟虚影所化的盾牌上了。
Just when he had fallen halfway, Lin Xuan exploded in a loud pop, turning into a sea of blood.
zhè shì lín xuān de zuì hòu yī céng fáng yù ， zì rán shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn yī jiù yǒu rú zhǐ hú ， bèi tā yī zā ér pò 。
这是林轩的最后一层防御，自然是非同小可，但依旧有如纸糊，被它一扎而破。
At the same time, over a hundred feet away, a phoenix’s cry echoed in his ears.
“ pēng ！”
“嘭！”
A red phoenix shadow appeared. With a flicker, Lin Xuan replaced it.
nà xiē zi de wěi ba cì rù le lín xuān de xīn kǒu ， zài yī zhèn jiǎo hé ， xuè wù fú xiàn ér chū ， lín xuān de shuāng yǎn dùn shí shī qù le shēng jī ， bèi tā yī shuǎi ， jiù huà wèi yī jù bīng lěng de shī shēn ， cháo zhe xià fāng zhuì luò ér qù 。
那蝎子的尾巴刺入了林轩的心口，再一阵搅合，血雾浮现而出，林轩的双眼顿时失去了生机，被它一甩，就化为一具冰冷的尸身，朝着下方坠落而去。
Phoenix Rebirth!
yǔn luò ？
陨落？
This was a secret technique Lin Xuan had gleaned after fusing with True Phoenix Blood and combining it with the True Spirit Sword Art. It somewhat resembled the Substitute to Pass Through Tribulation technique but without any loss.
dá àn shì fǒu dìng de 。
答案是否定的。
Just as he narrowly escaped disaster, this technique proved crucial. Without it, his fate might have been sealed.
yīn wèi gāng gāng diào luò dào yí bàn ， lín xuān jiù pēng de yī shēng bào kāi le ， huà zuò màn tiān xuè wù 。
因为刚刚掉落到一半，林轩就嘭的一声爆开了，化作漫天血雾。
Of course, death was impossible; even if he couldn’t achieve Phoenix Rebirth, Lin Xuan had other survival techniques.
kě yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， bǎi yú zhàng yuǎn ， què yǒu yī shēng fèng míng shēng chuán rù ěr biān 。
可与此同时，百余丈远，却有一声凤鸣声传入耳边。
But it was extremely dangerous.
suí hòu yī tóu huǒ hóng shì fèng huáng xū yǐng fú xiàn chū lái guǎng gāng yī liǎn ， lín xuān tì dài fèng huáng chū xiàn 。
随后一头火红是凤凰虚影浮现出来广钢一敛，林轩替代凤凰出现。
He took a deep breath and wondered how the others were faring, especially Yue'er, who was weakest in power.
fèng huáng niè pán ！
凤凰涅槃！
With this thought, Lin Xuan turned his head.
zhè shì lín xuān róng hé tiān fèng zhēn xuè hòu ， jié hé zhēn líng huà jiàn jué suǒ cān wù chū lái de mì shù ， yǒu diǎn lèi sì tì shēn dù jié dà fǎ ， dàn bù yòng sǔn shī shén me ， jiù kě yǐ tì jié yī cì 。
这是林轩融合天凤真血后，结合真灵化剑诀所参悟出来的秘术，有点类似替身渡劫大法，但不用损失什么，就可以替劫一次。
What met his eyes surprised him. The four women handled things much more easily than he did.
gāng cái qiān jūn yī fà zhī jí ， zhēn shì shī zhǎn chū cǐ shù ， fǒu zé néng fǒu huà xiǎn wéi yí ， hái zhēn shì liǎng shuō 。
刚才千钧一发之极，真是施展出此术，否则能否化险为夷，还真是两说。
It wasn’t that their powers surpassed his; Butterfly had already mastered time laws.
dāng rán ， yǔn luò shì bù kě néng de ， jiù suàn bù néng fèng huáng niè pán ， lín xuān yě hái yǒu qí tā de bǎo mìng shǒu duàn 。
当然，陨落是不可能的，就算不能凤凰涅槃，林轩也还有其他的保命手段。
Time, one of the most mysterious elements in the universe, could be used for both offense and defense with unimaginable effects.
dàn zhēn de shì fēi cháng wēi xiǎn 。
但真的是非常危险。
The four stood together, facing multiple tails. They could coordinate to handle them simultaneously.
tā chuǎn le kǒu qì ， zì jǐ néng gòu huà jiě wēi jī ， jiù bù zhī dào qí tā rén yòu rú hé 。
他喘了口气，自己能够化解危机，就不知道其他人又如何。
Lin Xuan was farther away, making it harder for Butterfly to help him, so he had to face this crisis alone. (A fantastic event where cool phones are up for grabs!
