jiāo yì huì shàng jū rán fā shēng zhè yàng de shì gù yī shí zài shì tài chū rén yì liào le 。
交易会上居然发生这样的事故一实在是太出人意料了。
The accident that occurred at the trade fair was truly unexpected.
rán ér yǐ bái lù tóng zi wéi shǒu de jǐ míng zhí fǎ shǐ , què guǐ yì de bǎo chí le chén jiù , qí shí zǐ xì xiǎng xiǎng , yě méi yǒu shén me hào qí guài de 。
然而以白鹿童子为首的几名执法使,却诡异的保持了沉就,其实仔细想想,也没有什么好奇怪的。
However, several Law Enforcement Officers led by the White Deer Immortal Boy maintained a solemn demeanor. In fact, it wasn't strange to think about it; maintaining the dignity of the Yinshan Conference was important, but making enemies with later-stage cultivators clearly wasn’t a smart choice.
yìn shān dà huì de zūn yán suī shuō yīng wéi hù , dàn yǔ hòu qī dà xiū shì jiāo wù xiǎn rán bú shì cōng míng de xuǎn zé 。
印山大会的尊严虽说应维护,但与后期大修士交恶显然不是聪明的选择。
Moreover, even if Yellow Eyebrow Sage had done something wrong, everyone couldn’t possibly stand on the side of the Poisoned Serpent King. Weighing the pros and cons, it made more sense to sit back and watch the conflict unfold.
hé kuàng huáng méi zhēn rén jiù suàn yǒu bú duì zhī chù , zhòng rén zǒng yě bù néng zhàn zài dú jiāo wáng yī biān de 。
何况黄眉真人就算有不对之处,众人总也不能站在毒蛟王一边的。
Since the Law Enforcement Officers held such thoughts, other old monsters who came for the trade naturally wouldn't dare to wade into the muck either. Each one kept a solemn demeanor, with many secretly rejoicing at others' misfortunes. Of course, most people widened their eyes in anticipation; battles of this level were rare and could bring great benefits—perhaps even breakthroughs in cultivation.
quán héng lì bì , hái shì zuò shān guān hǔ dòu huá suàn yī xiē 。
权衡利弊,还是坐山观虎斗划算一些。
Everyone had their own thoughts, and those who focused on Lin Xuan's movements weren't few. As the saying goes, one should seize opportunities when they arise. If the Elixir of Immortality was already in Yellow Eyebrow Sage or Poisoned Serpent King’s hands, they would naturally give up the struggle. However, with this situation, there might still be a chance to take advantage.
lián zhí fǎ shǐ dōu bào zhè yàng de xīn lǐ , qí tā qián lái cān yù jiāo yì de lǎo guài wù zì rán gèng bú huì shǎ shǎ de pǔ jìn hún shuǐ lǐ qù 。
连执法使都抱这样的心理,其他前来参与交易的老怪物自然更不会傻傻的蹼进浑水里去。
Lin Xuan remained vigilant; he had become a desirable target for these old monsters not just because of the Elixir of Immortality but also the top-grade crystal stones. Originally, staying out of the trade fair was safer, but now that two old monsters had broken the rules and others were lured by greed, mutual restraint prevented any immediate actions.
yí gè gè bǎo chí chén jiù , shèn zhì àn zhōng xìng zāi lè huò de yě hěn duō , dāng rán , gèng duō de rén shì dèng dà shuāng móu , zhè zhǒng jí bié de zhàn dòu , píng rì lǐ kě yù ér bù kě qiú , guān shǎng zhī hòu , shuō bù dìng néng huò yì liáng duō , yě xǔ yǒu suǒ gǎn wù , jiù cǐ tū pò xiū liàn shàng de píng jǐng le 。
一个个保持沉就,甚至暗中幸灾乐祸的也很多,当然,更多的人是瞪大双眸,这种级别的战斗,平日里可遇而不可求,观赏之后,说不定能获益良多,也许有所感悟,就此突破修炼上的瓶颈了。
But how long could this temporary balance last?
měi gè rén yǒu měi gè rén de xiǎng fǎ , jiāng dà bàn zhù yì lì fàng zài lín xuān shēn shàng de yě bù zài shǎo shù , sú huà shuō , huǒ zhōng qǔ piào , rú guǒ cháng shēng dān yǐ jīng dào le huáng méi zhēn rén huò zhě dú jiāo wáng de shǒu lǐ , tā men zì rán huì xī le zhēng qiǎng de niàn tou , bù guò xiàn zài zhè zhǒng jú shì , wèi shǐ méi yǒu jī huì hún shuǐ mō yú , lín xuān biǎo miàn bù dòng , àn dì lǐ , yě jiāng měi gè rén de biǎo qíng kàn zài yǎn lǐ 。
每个人有每个人的想法,将大半注意力放在林轩身上的也不再少数,俗话说,火中取票,如果长生丹已经到了黄眉真人或者毒蛟王的手里,他们自然会熄了争抢的念头,不过现在这种局势,未始没有机会浑水摸鱼,林轩表面不动,暗地里,也将每个人的表情看在眼里。
Lin Xuan didn’t know, but he wasn’t afraid; he too had his own backup plan. He wouldn't be easily manipulated like these people imagined… Hmph, only those who laugh at the end are true victors.
xīn zhōng jǐng qiè , rú jīn zài zhè xiē rén de xīn zhōng , kǒng pà yǐ jiāng zì jǐ dàng chéng le xiāng bō bō , bù zhǐ cháng shēng dān , jí pǐn jīng shí , nà xiē lǎo guài wù yě tóng yàng chuí dàn yù dī 。
心中警怯,如今在这些人的心中,恐怕已将自己当成了香饽饽,不止长生丹,极品晶石,那些老怪物也同样垂诞欲滴。
A faint trace of mockery appeared on Lin Xuan's lips as he quickly pretended to be scared and cowered in a secluded corner on the left side.
yuán běn bù zǒu chū jiāo yì huì , zì jǐ shì ān quán de , kě rú jīn liǎng gè lǎo guài wù yǐ pò huài le guī jǔ , qí tā rén yě bèi cì jī le tān yù 。
原本不走出交易会,自己是安全的,可如今两个老怪物已破坏了规矩,其他人也被刺激了贪欲。
At this moment, the two old monsters finally couldn't hold back. Yellow Eyebrow Sage opened his mouth, and sword beams shot out from it. Each beam was about a foot long, radiating immense spiritual energy. On their surfaces were numerous runes that continuously flowed, exuding an aura of mystery and antiquity.
zhǐ bù guò xiāng hù gù xīn , pà bèi bié rén dàn wēng dé lì , suǒ yǐ cái méi yǒu dòng shǒu , rán ér zhè zhǒng duǎn zàn de píng héng néng gòu wéi chí duō jiǔ ?
只不过相互顾芯,怕被别人淡翁得利,所以才没有动手,然而这种短暂的平衡能够维持多久?
Lin Xuan counted; there were forty-nine sword beams in total. The pressure each emitted was no less than the顶尖法宝 driven by ordinary late-stage Core Formation cultivators.
lín xuān bù qīng chǔ , dàn tā yě méi shén me hǎo hài pà de , zì jǐ tóng yàng liú yǒu hòu shǒu , bìng fēi xiàng zhè xiē rén xiǎng xiàng de yī yàng rèn rén zǎi gē ……, hēng , shuí xiào dào zuì hòu cái shì zhēn zhèng de shèng lì zhě 。
林轩不清楚,但他也没什么好害怕的,自己同样留有后手,并非像这些人想象的一样任人宰割……,哼,谁笑到最后才是真正的胜利者。
Lin Xuan was taken aback. Other old monsters' faces turned pale as well. Legends are always legends; they had only seen descriptions of late-stage Core Formation cultivators from ancient texts… Honestly, there were still some doubts, but now seeing is believing; the descriptions in those texts weren't exaggerated at all.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān yǐn xiàn jī fěng zhī sè , bù guò hěn kuài , yòu zhuāng chū yī hūn hài pà de yàng zi , wèi wèi suō suō de duǒ zài zuǒ cè yī piān pì de jiǎo luò 。
林轩嘴角边隐现讥讽之色,不过很快,又装出一昏害怕的样子,畏畏缩缩的躲在左侧一偏僻的角落。
However, Poisoned Serpent King didn’t care. A slightly low voice echoed from the poisonous cloud: "Ha! You’ve made progress, but do you really think that’s enough to harm this king?"
ér zhè shí , liǎng gè lǎo guài wù zhōng yú rěn bú zhù dòng shǒu , zhǐ jiàn huáng méi zhēn rén zhāng kāi kǒu , yī dào yī dào de jiàn máng cóng tā zuǐ zhōng pēn tǔ ér chū 。
而这时,两个老怪物终于忍不住动手,只见黄眉真人张开口,一道一道的剑芒从他嘴中喷吐而出。
Before he could finish speaking, the poisonous cloud surged and rushed towards Yellow Eyebrow Sage with a loud rumble.
nà xiē jiàn máng zhǎng yuē chǐ xǔ , sàn fà zhe jīng rén de líng lì , ér zài jiàn máng biǎo miàn , hái yǒu bù shǎo dòu lì dà xiǎo de fú wén bù tíng liú zhuǎn , chōng mǎn le shén mì gǔ piáo de qì xī 。
那些剑芒长约尺许,散发着惊人的灵力,而在剑芒表面,还有不少豆粒大小的符文不停流转,充满了神秘古朴的气息。
"Quickly!"
lín xuān shù le yī shù , jiàn guāng gòng yǒu sì shí jiǔ dào , měi yī dào suǒ sàn fà chū lái de wēi yā , dōu bù dī yú pǔ tōng yuán yīng xiū shì suǒ qū shǐ de dǐng jiān fǎ bǎo 。
林轩数了一数,剑光共有四十九道,每一道所散发出来的威压,都不低于普通元婴修士所驱使的顶尖法宝。
Yellow Eyebrow Sage pointed at the sword beams before him. Instantly, like a sudden downpour, the sword beams fiercely pierced the poisonous cloud.
lín xuān xīn zhōng hài rán , qí tā lǎo guài wù de liǎn sè yě yǒu xiē cāng bái , chuán shuō yǒng yuǎn shì chuán shuō , tā men shí zhī ** dōu méi yǒu jiàn guò yuán yīng hòu qī xiū shì chū shǒu , guān yú duì fāng shén tōng de miáo shù , yě jǐn jǐn shì cóng diǎn jí shàng suǒ de ……, píng xīn lái shuō , duō shǎo hái yǒu yī xiē yí huò , kě xiàn zài wén míng bù rú jiàn miàn , nà xiē diǎn jí shàng jìng sī háo méi yǒu kuā dà zhī chù 。
林轩心中骇然,其他老怪物的脸色也有些苍白,传说永远是传说,他们十之**都没有见过元婴后期修士出手,关于对方神通的描述,也仅仅是从典籍上所得……,平心来说,多少还有一些疑惑,可现在闻名不如见面,那些典籍上竟丝毫没有夸大之处。
Upon contact, the poisonous cloud was torn apart into shreds. The cultivators were relieved; after all, they were humans and hoped Yellow Eyebrow Sage would win.
rán ér dú jiāo wáng què bù zài hū , lüè yǒu xiē dī chén de shēng yīn cóng dú yún lǐ chuán chū “ hē guǒ rán yǒu jìn bù , kě xī zhè zhǒng chéng dù , jiù xiǎng yào nài hé běn wáng me ?”
然而毒蛟王却不在乎,略有些低沉的声音从毒云里传出“呵果然有进步,可惜这种程度,就想要奈何本王么?”
But soon, their smiles faded as the poisonous cloud recovered after surging. The previous attack had been in vain… Yellow Eyebrow Sage’s expression darkened. This old monster was even harder to deal with than last time. He flicked his hand, taking out another treasure.
huà yīn wèi luò , nà dú yún kāi shǐ fān yǒng , hōng lōng lóng de xiàng huáng méi zhēn rén pū guò qù le 。, jí !”
话音未落,那毒云开始翻涌,轰隆隆的像黄眉真人扑过去了。,疾!”
The two later-stage monsters clashed, their residual energy creating whirlwinds that other cultivators couldn't help but retreat from, fearing being drawn into the conflict.
huáng méi zhēn rén chōng shēn qián de jiàn máng yì diǎn zhǐ , dùn shí , yǒu rú jí fēng zhòu yǔ , jiàn máng fēng kuáng de xiàng zhe dú yún zǎn cì 。
黄眉真人冲身前的剑芒一点指,顿时,有如疾风骤雨,剑芒疯狂的向着毒云攒刺。
"Ahh!"
gāng yī jiē chù , dú yún jiù bèi fēn jiào dé qī líng bā luò , zhòng xiū shì xīn zhōng yī xǐ , bì jìng dà jiā dōu shì rén zú , tā men hái shì xī wàng huáng méi zhēn rén huò shèng de 。
刚一接触,毒云就被分窖得七零八落,众修士心中一喜,毕竟大家都是人族,他们还是希望黄眉真人获胜的。
Suddenly, a scream pierced the air: "Haha Fourth Elder, you dare to ambush me?"
dàn hěn kuài , dà jiā jiù xiào bù chū lái , yīn wèi nà xiē dú yún yī zhèn fān yǒng hòu jiù chóng xīn huī fù , gāng cái de gōng jī , bù guò shì tú láo ér yǐ ……, huáng méi zhēn rén liǎn sè yī chén , zhè lǎo yāo bǐ shàng cì jiàn dào shí , hái yào nán yǐ duì fù , tā shǒu yī fān , yòu qǔ chū lìng wài yī yàng fǎ bǎo lái le 。
但很快,大家就笑不出来,因为那些毒云一阵翻涌后就重新恢复,刚才的攻击,不过是徒劳而已……,黄眉真人脸色一沉,这老妖比上次见到时,还要难以对付,他手一翻,又取出另外一样法宝来了。
Lin Xuan turned around and saw a mid-Condensation Core cultivator with a pale face. A fist-sized blood hole marred his chest.
.ㄧ!6!.c○m
.ㄧ!6!.c○m
Nearby, a short, unremarkable-looking cultivator was surrounded by surging mana as he held a bloody dagger in his hand, eyes filled with hatred: "Zhang, you rely on your higher cultivation and the Spiral Sect to force my partner into submission. Do you think I would just let that pass?"
liǎng wèi hòu qī de guài wù kāi shǐ jiāo fēng , guāng shì yú bō jiù xiān qǐ le yī dào dào de xuán fēng , qí tā xiū shì bù yóu de fēn fēn tuì hòu , hài pà bèi juǎn rù qí zhōng 。
两位后期的怪物开始交锋,光是余波就掀起了一道道的旋风,其他修士不由得纷纷退后,害怕被卷入其中。
"Here at Yinshan Holy Land, you dare break the rules?"
“ a !”
“啊!”
"Humph! For revenge, Haha will willingly meet his end in flames. What do rules matter when they’ve already been broken by two seniors?" The short cultivator roared and raised his hand, the dagger turning into a black beam that slashed towards Zhang.
tū rán , yī cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ :…… hè hè lǎo sì , nǐ gǎn tōu xí wǒ ?”
突然,一惨叫声传入耳朵:……贺贺老四,你敢偷袭我?”
Zhang’s chest was pierced; he couldn’t muster any mana at this moment. He could only watch helplessly as the black beam flew towards him.
lín xuān huí tóu wàng qù , què shì yī níng dān zhōng qī de xiū shì liǎn rú bái zhǐ , tā xiōng kǒu , duō chū le yī quán tou dà xiǎo de xuè dòng 。
林轩回头望去,却是一凝丹中期的修士脸如白纸,他胸口,多出了一拳头大小的血洞。
"Capture him."
jiù zài qí shēn cè bù yuǎn chù , yī shēn cái ǎi xiǎo , róng mào píng yōng de xiū shì hún shēn fǎ lì yǒng dòng , shǒu shàng , hái wò zhe yī dī xuè de bǐ shǒu , yǎn zhōng mǎn shì hèn hèn zhī sè “ xìng zhāng de , nǐ zhàng zhe zì jǐ xiū wèi bǐ wǒ gāo , yòu yǒu luó xuán zōng zài bèi hòu chēng yāo , bī jiān hè mǒu dào lǚ de shì qíng , nǐ dāng wǒ huì rěn xià zuò wáng hé xié bā me ?”
就在其身侧不远处,一身材矮小,容貌平庸的修士浑身法力涌动,手上,还握着一滴血的匕首,眼中满是恨恨之色“姓张的,你仗着自己修为比我高,又有螺旋宗在背后撑腰,逼奸贺某道侣的事情,你当我会忍下做王和谐八么?”
The White Deer Immortal Boy's face darkened. The two later-stage monsters disregarded Yinshan’s rules, so he gritted his teeth and endured it. But that didn't mean anyone could come here to be disrespectful; there were limits.
“ zhè lǐ shì yìn shān shèng dì , nǐ gǎn pò huài guī jǔ ?”
“这里是印山圣地,你敢破坏规矩?”
"Yes!"
“ hēng , wèi le néng gòu bào chóu , hè mǒu huī fēi yān miè yě bù zài hū , guī jǔ suàn shén me , hé kuàng bù zǎo jiù bèi liǎng wèi qián bèi pò huài le 。” nà shēn cái ǎi xiǎo de xiū shì yǎng tiān dà xiào , zuǒ shǒu yī yǎng , nà bǐ shǒu huà wèi yī dào wū guāng , hěn hěn de zhǎn xiàng le duì fāng 。
“哼,为了能够报仇,贺某灰飞烟灭也不在乎,规矩算什么,何况不早就被两位前辈破坏了。”那身材矮小的修士仰天大笑,左手一仰,那匕首化为一道乌光,狠狠的斩向了对方。
Several mid-Condensation Core Law Enforcement Officers flew towards the short cultivator.
zhāng xìng xiū shì xiōng kǒu bèi guàn chuān , cǐ shā bàn diǎn fǎ lì yě tí bù qǐ lái , zhǐ néng yǎn zhēng zhēng de kàn zhe wū guāng xiàng zì jǐ fēi lái 。
张姓修士胸口被贯穿,此刹半点法力也提不起来,只能眼睁睁的看着乌光像自己飞来。
But Fourth Elder Haha was prepared. His grudge against Zhang was deep, but his cultivation and power were far inferior. Coming here wasn’t for trading; he wanted to eliminate his enemy at any cost, even if it meant mutual destruction.
“ hú mù , gěi wǒ bèi ná xià 。”
“蝴目,给我被拿下。”
Seeing several Law Enforcement Officers fly towards him, he didn't dodge but instead turned into a streak of light and flew towards Zhang.
bái lù tóng zi de liǎn sè yīn chén xià lái , liǎng míng hòu qī de lǎo guài wù shì yìn shān guī jǔ wèi wú wù , tā zhǐ néng yǎo yǎo yá rěn le , kě bìng bù dài biǎo shén me ā māo ā gǒu dōu kě yǐ lái zhè lǐ xiāo zhāng , mù wú zūn zhǎng 。
白鹿童子的脸色阴沉下来,两名后期的老怪物视印山规矩为无物,他只能咬咬牙忍了,可并不代表什么阿猫阿狗都可以来这里嚣张,目无尊长。
The Law Enforcement Officers were furious and chased more quickly. But soon, someone noticed something amiss—Fourth Elder Haha's face was turning red like it would bleed.
“ shì !”
“是!”
Such terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations!
jǐ míng níng dān qī de zhí fǎ shǐ lì shā xiàng ǎi xiǎo xiū shì fēi qù 。
几名凝丹期的执法使立刹向矮小修士飞去。
"Bad luck! He’s choosing to self-destruct!"
kě hè lǎo sì zǎo yǒu zhǔn bèi , tā yǔ zhāng xìng xiū shì chóu shēn shì hǎi , kě xiū wèi shì lì yǔ duì fāng xiāng bǐ , yòu yuǎn yuǎn bù jí , lái dào zhè lǐ , běn jiù bú shì wèi le jiāo yì dōng xī 。
可贺老四早有准备,他与张姓修士仇深似海,可修为势力与对方相比,又远远不及,来到这里,本就不是为了交易东西。
A white-haired Law Enforcement Officer shouted in shock as he turned his flight path, trying to escape. Unfortunately, it was too late.
yìn shān shèng dì de ān quán shì zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī , chóu rén zài zhè lǐ kěn dìng huì fàng sōng jǐng qiè 、 tā běn jiù shì pīn dé yī shēn shā , xiǎng yào jiāng dí rén miè shā 。
印山圣地的安全是众所周知,仇人在这里肯定会放松警怯、他本就是拼得一身刹,想要将敌人灭杀。
A loud explosion echoed, and the white-haired officer saw a bright red light. It felt like being immersed in warm water before his consciousness blurred, and he knew nothing more… Violating Yinshan’s rules meant soul extraction; rather than endure such torment, he would willingly meet his end with his enemy.
jiù suàn tóng guī yú jìn , nà yòu rú hé ?
就算同归于尽,那又如何?
This was just an interlude, but several mid-Condensation Core cultivators' deaths were insignificant. However, at this moment, the late-stage Core Formation cultivators here each harbored their own hidden intentions and greed. Mutual restraint kept them silent, but the balance was fragile—like a taut string that could snap at any time.
jiàn jǐ míng zhí fǎ shǐ fēi xiàng zì jǐ , tā bù jǐn bù duǒ , fǎn ér shēn xíng yī zhuǎn , huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng , xiàng zhāng xìng xiū shì fēi guò qù le 。
见几名执法使飞向自己,他不仅不躲,反而身形一转,化为一道惊虹,像张姓修士飞过去了。
No one knew when it would break, and Fourth Elder Haha’s actions shattered this delicate equilibrium. An old monster who couldn’t hold back suddenly lunged towards Lin Xuan: "Boy, give me the Elixir of Immortality!"
The accident that occurred at the trade fair was truly unexpected.
However, several Law Enforcement Officers led by the White Deer Immortal Boy maintained a solemn demeanor. In fact, it wasn't strange to think about it; maintaining the dignity of the Yinshan Conference was important, but making enemies with later-stage cultivators clearly wasn’t a smart choice.
