cǐ jiù kě yǐ jiě shì wèi hé kǒng què nán chán zhì cǐ yǐ yī dí èr jìng sī fēng 。
此就可以解释为何孔雀难缠至此以一敌二竟丝风。
This explained why the peacock was so difficult to deal with, managing to hold off two opponents.
zhè kě yǒu xiē jí shǒu ！
这可有些棘手！
That made things a bit tricky!
guāng tóu dà hàn méi tóu jǐn zhòu 。 hào tiān guǐ dì gèng dào xī le yī kǒu liáng qì ， yǎn zhū zhuǎn gè xiǎo fú ， yě bù zhī dào xīn zhōng yòu zài dǎ shén me zhǔ yì 。
光头大汉眉头紧皱。昊天鬼帝更倒吸了一口凉气，眼珠转个小俘，也不知道心中又在打什么主意。
The bald man frowned deeply. The Heavenly Ghost Emperor let out a sharp intake of breath and his eyes darted around, unsure what he was planning.
miào yōu xiān zi zé yòu jīng yòu xǐ ， tā yǔ kǒng què suī shì guī zhōng mì yǒu ， dàn yě wàn wàn bù wèi xiǎng zhè wèi jiāo ào de nǚ yāo xiū zhāng yǒu rú cǐ xiáng tiān fǎ shù 。
妙幽仙子则又惊又喜，她与孔雀虽是闺中密友，但也万万不胃想这位骄傲的女妖修章有如此详天法术。
Miaoyou Fairy was both surprised and delighted. Although she and the peacock were close friends, she never imagined that this proud female demon cultivator would have such powerful spells at her disposal.
shàng tiān zhù wǒ ， yǒu tā zài 。 shuō bù dìng zhēn néng wèi zhàng fū bào chóu 。
上天助我，有她在。说不定真能为丈夫报仇。
Heaven's will be with me; if she’s here, maybe I can avenge my husband.
miào yōu yín yá yī yǎo ， cóng huái zhōng qǔ chū jǐ lì dān yào ， lìng yī zhī shǒu shàng yòu kòu le jǐ zhāng jiǎng zhuàn ， yín guāng shǎn shǎn ， xiǎn rán dōu shì pǒ wèi xíng guì de bǎo wù 。
妙幽银牙一咬，从怀中取出几粒丹药，另一只手上又扣了几张蒋篆，银光闪闪，显然都是颇为形贵的宝物。
Miaoyou gritted her teeth, taking out several pills from her bosom and holding up a few talismans in the other hand. The silver light shone brightly, clearly valuable treasures.
cǐ nǚ yǐ jiāng yā xiāng dǐ de jué jì ná chū ， wú lùn rú hé 。 zì jǐ yě yào jiāng wú dà guǐ cháng chán zhù ， xī wàng kǒng què xiān zi néng xiān jiāng lìng liǎng gè lǎo guài wù gěi miè le 。
此女已将压箱底的绝技拿出，无论如何。自己也要将吴大鬼常缠住，希望孔雀仙子能先将另两个老怪物给灭了。
This woman had already revealed her most powerful techniques. No matter what, she must keep Wu Da Ghost’s attention. She hoped that Fairy Peacock could take care of the two old monsters first.
píng xīn lái shuō 。 zhè fān dǎ suàn běn méi yǒu cuò ， kě shì qíng nǎ yǒu nà me shùn lì de ， jiàn kǒng què jiāng yī lì yāo dān tǔ chū 。 shuāng shǒu huī wǔ ， xiǎn rán yào shǐ yòng mǒu zhǒng lì hài zhī jí de mì shù ， gōng zhuāng nǚ yú yǎn zhōng yì máng yī shǎn 。 huǎn huǎn shēn chū shǒu lái ， zhǎng xīn fān zhuǎn ， yī xiǎo qiǎo de yù hé cóng yī xiù zhōng huá luò chū lái 。
平心来说。这番打算本没有错，可事情哪有那么顺利的，见孔雀将一粒妖丹吐出。双手挥舞，显然要使用某种厉害之极的秘术，宫装女于眼中异芒一闪。缓缓伸出手来，掌心翻转，一小巧的玉盒从衣袖中滑落出来。
To be honest, this plan wasn’t wrong. But things rarely went as smoothly as intended. As the peacock spat out a demon pill and waved its hands, clearly preparing to use some extremely powerful secret technique, the woman in court attire’s eyes flashed with an odd light as she slowly extended her hand, palm facing down.
zài hé zi de biǎo miàn 。 hái tiē zhe yī zhāng jìn zhì fú huáng ， kě jí biàn rú cǐ ， lǐ miàn yě yǒu lìng rén xīn jì de xiōng shà zhī qì chū ， yě bù zhī shěng jiǎ miàn zhuāng zhe de ， jiū jìng shì zhè yàng de mó dào xié wù 。
在盒子的表面。还贴着一张禁制符簧，可即便如此，里面也有令人心悸的凶煞之气出，也不知省甲面装着的，究竟是这样的魔道邪物。
A small jade box slid out of her sleeve. It was sealed with a restriction talisman, but even so, there was a terrifying aura emanating from it. She didn’t know what lay inside this magical and evil object.
gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ de yǎn jīn shǎn guò yī sī bù shě ， cǐ yíng shǎo chū yǐ qián 。 zōng zhǔ mì mì cì yú tā de ， bù guò yě zài sān dīng zhǔ 。 bú dào wàn bù dé yǐ ， jué bù néng shǐ yòng 。
宫装女子的眼巾闪过一丝不舍，此莹少出以前。宗主秘密赐于她的，不过也再三叮嘱。不到万不得已，绝不能使用。
The woman in court attire hesitated for a moment before taking the treasure out. Previously, the sect leader had secretly given her these items, repeatedly warning her not to use them unless absolutely necessary.
yīn wèi cǐ bǎo shí zài zhēn xī qiě jǐn néng shǐ yòng yī cì ér yǐ jí biàn duì dà xiū shì ， yě dìng dào yù ér bù kě qiú de dōng xī 。
因为此宝实在珍稀且仅能使用一次而已即便对大修士，也定到遇而不可求的东西。
This treasure was extremely rare and could only be used once—something even great cultivators would find hard to come by.
yī lái cǐ nǚ bì jìng yǔ zì jǐ yǒu guò chūn fēng yī dù ， èr lái zhè cì rèn wù yě zǒu jué bù róng shī bài de ， qià hǎo zì jǐ yòu yīn wèi mǒu xiē yuán yóu ， fēn shēn fá shù ， suǒ yǐ cái jiāng cǐ bǎo cì yú le gōng zhuāng nǚ xiū 。
一来此女毕竟与自己有过春风一度，二来这次任务也走绝不容失败的，恰好自己又因为某些缘由，分身乏术，所以才将此宝赐于了宫装女修。
While grateful, she felt that the sect leader was being overly cautious. A mid-stage transformed peacock wasn’t something she couldn’t handle on her own, especially with two allies. With their help, she was sure she could easily take it down.
suī xīn zhōng gǎn jī ， dàn cǐ nǚ què jué de zōng zhǔ wèi miǎn tài xiǎo xīn le xiē 。 qū qū yī huà xíng zhōng qī de kǒng què ér yǐ 。 zì jǐ yě néng yǔ tā pīn gè shì jūn lì dí ， zài yǒu liǎng wèi bāng shǒu xiàng zhù ， mù rán dìng shǒu dào qín lái le 。
虽心中感激，但此女却觉得宗主未免太小心了些。区区一化形中期的孔雀而已。自己也能与她拼个势均力敌，再有两位帮手相助，目然定手到擒来了。
But things turned out differently than expected; she even lost an arm in the process. Calming herself from shock and anger, she decided to curb her arrogance.
nǎ zhī dào què yǎn biàn chéng xiàn zài zhè zhǒng jié guǒ ， zì jǐ shèn zhì bèi zhǎn xià le yī tiáo gē bó ， cǐ nǚ jīng nù zhī yú ， què yě jiāng jiāo kuáng zhī qì shōu qǐ 。
哪知道却演变成现在这种结果，自己甚至被斩下了一条胳膊，此女惊怒之余，却也将骄狂之气收起。
The world is full of talented people; one cannot underestimate heroes.
tiān xià zhī dà ， néng rén bèi chū ， zì jǐ bù néng tài xiǎo kàn le shì jiān yīng xióng 。
天下之大，能人辈出，自己不能太小看了世间英雄。
Though reluctant, she took out the treasure given by the sect leader.
suī xīn zhōng bù shě 。 dàn tā mài hào jiāng zōng zhǔ cì yǔ de bǎo wù ná chū 。
虽心中不舍。但她迈号将宗主赐予的宝物拿出。
Feeling the ominous aura, the peacock’s eyes narrowed as a serious expression appeared on her face. For some reason, she felt uneasy and even a bit panicked, as if being targeted by an enemy.
gǎn shòu dào nà xiōng shà zhī qì 。 kǒng què yǎn jīng yī mī ， qiào liǎn shàng lù chū le zhèng zhòng de biǎo qíng ， bù zhī wèi hé ， tā xīn zhōng jìng mò míng qí miào de gǎn huò yǒu cǐ bù tuǒ ， yǐn yǐn de jìng yǒu xiē jīng huāng de qíng xù chǎn shēng le 。
感受到那凶煞之气。孔雀眼睛一眯，俏脸上露出了郑重的表情，不知为何，她心中竟莫名其妙的感货有此不妥，隐隐的竟有些惊慌的情绪产生了。
The peacock took a deep breath to calm herself. The threat came from that jade box; this treasure was no small matter. She couldn’t let it be used easily.
fǎng fú bèi tiān dí gěi dīng shàng shì de 。
仿佛被天敌给盯上似的。
With that thought, the peacock’s delicate hand flicked, causing the remaining four feathers to tremble. Five-colored rainbow light shot out, forming five swords of varying lengths, some just an inch long and others several feet. Counting them roughly, there were thousands, creating a shocking scene.
kǒng què xī le kǒu qì 。 jiāng zhòu rán jiā liàng de xīn tiào píng fù xià qù ， wēi xié lái zì yú nà yù hé ， cǐ bǎo yàn rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 wú lùn rú hé ， zì jǐ yě bù néng ràng tā qīng yì jì chū 。
孔雀吸了口气。将骤然加谅的心跳平复下去，威胁来自于那玉盒，此宝晏然非同小可。无论如何，自己也不能让她轻易祭出。
"Quickly!"
niàn jí zhì cǐ 。 kǒng què yù shǒu yī fú ， shèng xià de sì gēn líng yǔ yī qí chàn dòng ， dà jīn de wǔ sè xiá guāng cóng biǎo miàn pēn hé ér chū 。
念及至此。孔雀玉手一拂，剩下的四根翎羽一齐颤动，大斤的五色霞光从表面喷菏而出。
The peacock extended her delicate hand, lightly pointing at one finger. Instantly, the colorful energy swords turned into a fierce rain, transforming into chilling rays that pierced towards their targets.
lüè yī pán xuán ， huà wèi cháng duǎn bù yī de wǔ shēng yǔ jiàn ， yǒu de bù guò cùn xǔ ， yǒu de què miè shén yǒu yú ， cū lüè yī shù 。 jìng yǒu shù qiān zhī duō ， shēng shì jīng rén dào le jí chù 。
略一盘旋，化为长短不一的五声与剑，有的不过寸许，有的却灭什有余，粗略一数。竟有数千之多，声势惊人到了极处。
If it had been just the woman in court attire alone, she would have struggled to defend herself and couldn’t afford to use that treasure again. But the bald man wouldn’t stand by idly.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
Despite his rough appearance, he was no fool; after all, he had managed to form a wuxing body, living for hundreds of years as an old monster. He wasn’t a simpleton.
kǒng què yù shǒu shēn chū ， shí zhǐ qīng qīng xiàng qián diǎn qù ， dùn shí nà xiē wǔ sè qì jiàn rú wǎng jí fēng zhòu yǔ ， huà wèi yī dào dào lìng rén xīn hán de jīng máng ， xiàng zhe duì nián zǎn cì ér qù 。
孔雀玉手伸出，食指轻轻向前点去，顿时那些五色气剑如网疾风骤雨，化为一道道令人心寒的精芒，向着对年攒刺而去。
Though he didn’t know what his companion was using, his sister-in-law’s status in the sect was significant. Though they weren’t officially married, their relationship was ambiguous and she often surprised him with unexpected good fortune.
jiǎ ruò jǐn shì gōng zhuāng nǚ xiū yī rén ér yǐ ， tā qióng yú yìng fù gù cǐ shī xiá ， mù rán hàn míng yú lì zài jì chū nà jiàn bǎo wù ， dàn guāng tóu dà hàn zì rán bú huì zài yī páng shǎ shǎ kàn zhe 。
假若仅是宫装女修一人而已，她穷于应付顾此失瑕，目然汉明余力再祭出那件宝物，但光头大汉自然不会在一旁傻傻看着。
Given that Fairy Peacock was treating this like a major battle, he naturally wanted to help her fend off the attack. As thousands of sword energies approached, the bald man puffed his cheeks, releasing several black rays from his mouth.
bié qiáo tā xiàng mào cū lǔ ， qí shí tóng yàng bù xuán chōng bèn de rén wù 。 bì jìng néng níng chéng wù yīng chéng gōng ， zěn me yě shì huó le jǐ bǎi suì de lǎo guài wù ， zì rán bù kě néng shì dà shǎ guā de 。
别瞧他相貌粗鲁，其实同样不悬舂笨的人物。毕竟能凝成兀婴成功，怎么也是活了几百岁的老怪物，自然不可能是大傻瓜的。
The dark light flickered as small shields appeared, their shapes peculiar and incomplete.
tā suī rán bù zhī dào tóng bàn ná chū lái de jiā shén me ， dàn zhè wèi shī mèi zài zōng nèi dì wèi rán ， suī wèi yǔ zōng zhǔ jié chéng lián lǐ ， dàn guān xì yě ài mèi wú bǐ ， shēn shàng bù shí huì yǒu chū rén yì biǎo de hǎo 。
他虽然不知道同伴拿出来的嘉什么，但这位师妹在宗内地位然，虽未与宗主结成连理，但关系也暧昧无比，身上不时会有出人意表的好。
He formed a strange gesture with both hands in front of him, stacking the shields which quickly fused into a black turtle shell.
hé kuàng kǒng què xiān zi rú lín dà dí ， tā dāng rán yào bāng shī mèi dǎng xià zhè bō gōng jī ， yǎn jiàn wàn shí jiàn qì fēi zhì shēn qián 。 guāng tóu dà hàn sāi bāng yī gǔ ， jǐ lǚ hēi máng cóng zuǐ zhōng pēn bó ér chū 。
何况孔雀仙子如临大敌，他当然要帮师妹挡下这波攻击，眼见万十剑气飞至身前。光头大汉腮帮一鼓，几缕黑芒从嘴中喷薄而出。
The surface of the shell glowed with talisman inscriptions, indicating that it was not only made from good materials but also specially treated by its owner.
wū guāng shǎn shuò 。 què shì jǐ miàn xiǎo qiǎo de dùn pái ， rán ér xíng zhuàng shí fēn gǔ guài ， kàn shàng qù jiù xiàng cán quē bù quán ，
乌光闪烁。却是几面小巧的盾牌，然而形状十分古怪，看上去就像残缺不全，
The peacock’s pupils constricted. She too noticed this and realized how significant it was. With her delicate hand, she recited an ancient incantation.
guāng tóu dà hàn shuāng shǒu huí gàn xiōng qián niē le yí gè shòu guài de nián shì ， nà jǐ miàn dùn pái dié zài yì qǐ ， suí hòu xùn róng hé ， yī yǒu hēi de wū guī ké chū xiàn le 。
光头大汉双手回干胸前捏了一个寿怪的年势，那几面盾牌叠在一起，随后迅融合，一黝黑的乌龟壳出现了。
The sword energies paused as they split into two streams. The left side of the rainbow light converged in the middle, fusing together to form a ten-foot-long five-colored saber. Meanwhile, the right side of the light turned with apparent intelligence and avoided the shields.
guī ké biǎo miàn 。 fú wén shǎn shuò ， xiǎn rán cǐ bǎo chú le cái liào bù cuò 。 hái bèi zhǔ rén shāo xīn xú shū guò de 。
龟壳表面。符文闪烁，显然此宝除了材料不错。还被主人稍心徐殊过的。
The bald man’s face was filled with surprise; despite his own powerful techniques, he found it astonishing how precisely they were controlled. His supernatural abilities far exceeded what he had anticipated.
kǒng què tóng kǒng wēi suō 。 xiǎn rán yě kàn chū zhè jié ， qī fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 yù shǒu fǎn wò ， yī jù gǔ piáo de zhòu yǔ cóng yīng chún lǐ tǔ chū 。
孔雀瞳孔微缩。显然也看出这节，漆非同小可。玉手反握，一句古朴的咒语从樱唇里吐出。
Seeing half of the rainbow light pass through the shield, he couldn’t do anything as that massive sword energy descended fiercely.
nà xiē jiàn qì yī dùn 。 jìng fēn wéi le liǎng gǔ zuǒ biān de xiá guāng wàng zhōng jiān yī jù ， róng hé zài yì qǐ ， yī bǐng shí yú zhàng zhǎng de wǔ shēng chē jiàn chū xiàn zài le kōng chē lǐ ， ér yòu biān de xiá guāng què rú yǒu líng xìng de yī zhuǎn ， yuǎn yuǎn de rào kāi le dùn pái 。
那些剑气一顿。竟分为了两股左边的霞光望中间一聚，融合在一起，一柄十余丈长的五声车剑出现在了空车里，而右边的霞光却如有灵性的一转，远远的绕开了盾牌。
Faced with danger, he focused on protecting himself and poured all his magical power into the strange turtle shell.
guāng tóu dà hàn mǎn liǎn è rán duì fāng fǎ shù yǐ rán chū nián jū rán hái néng zhè yàng jīng zhǔn de mǒ kòng ， shén tōng zhī qiáng 。 hái yuǎn zài zì jǐ yù liào zhī shàng 。
光头大汉满脸愕然对方法术已然出年居然还能这样精准的抹控，神通之强。还远在自己预料之上。
The two collided with a dull thud, but the bald man’s face turned pale. While he could defend himself, helping the woman in court attire was clearly beyond his capabilities.
yǎn jiàn nà yí bàn de xiá guāng jīng kāi dùn pái ， tā què wú kě nài hé 。 yīn wèi nà bǐng jù tài de qì jiàn ， yǐ hěn hěn de pī cì xià lái 。
眼见那一半的霞光经开盾牌，他却无可奈何。因为那柄巨太的气剑，已狠狠的劈刺下来。
A refined figure suddenly stepped forward to block the attack.
wēi xiǎn lín tóu 。 tā dāng rán shì jǐng gù zì jǐ le ， máng jiāng hún shēn de fǎ lì zhù rù nà gǔ guài de guī ké lǐ 。
危险临头。他当然是井顾自己了，忙将浑身的法力注入那古怪的龟壳里。
Three long beards, a strikingly handsome appearance—Heavenly Ghost Emperor!
liǎng zhě hōng rán zhuàng zài yì qǐ chén mèn de jù xiǎng qì qì chuán kāi ， dùn pái dǎng zhù jiàn ， dàn guāng tóu dà hàn de liǎn sè yě yǒu xiē bái ， tā zì bǎo yǒu yú ， dàn xiǎng yào bāng zhù gōng zhuāng nǚ xiū dǎng bo gōng jī ， zé míng xiǎn yǒu xīn wú lì 。
两者轰然撞在一起沉闷的巨响迄迄传开，盾牌挡住剑，但光头大汉的脸色也有些白，他自保有余，但想要帮助宫装女修挡卜攻击，则明显有心无力。
With a wave of his sleeves, eerie ghost cries and dark mists formed into thick arms, wrapping around or hitting the energy saber as it transformed into a light saber.
kǒng què de zuǐ jiǎo biān yǐ lù chū le yī sī xiào yì yǎn kàn qì jiàn jù chéng de guāng xiá yǐ yào fēi dào duì shǒu de miàn qián 。 kōng qì tū rán guǐ yì de bō dòng le qǐ lái 。
孔雀的嘴角边已露出了一丝笑意眼看气剑聚成的光霞已要飞到对手的面前。空气突然诡异的波动了起来。
Heavenly Ghost Emperor’s actions weren’t just for fellow sect members; he was a cunning fox. By blocking the attack on the woman in court attire, there were deeper reasons behind his move.
yí gè rú yǎ de shēn yǐng dǎng zài le miàn qián 。
一个儒雅的身影挡在了面前。
Although this task involved three people, he had initially proposed it and would surely benefit from its success. While Linghun Valley had many malevolent spirits, seeking refuge during his fall had left him in an awkward position; despite having the power of a wuxing body, he wasn’t valued enough to be heavily relied upon.
sān lǚ zhǎng xū 。 xiàng mào qīng lì yǐ jí hào tiān bēi dì ！
三缕长须。相貌青砾以极昊天卑帝！
Thus, no matter what, this task must succeed. Initially, seeing that Fairy Peacock was difficult to handle, he could have tried to sneak out or avoid it. But now, if he stayed behind, the mission might fail. Heavenly Ghost Emperor weighed his options and flew forward to block the attack.
This explained why the peacock was so difficult to deal with, managing to hold off two opponents.
That made things a bit tricky!
The bald man frowned deeply. The Heavenly Ghost Emperor let out a sharp intake of breath and his eyes darted around, unsure what he was planning.
Miaoyou Fairy was both surprised and delighted. Although she and the peacock were close friends, she never imagined that this proud female demon cultivator would have such powerful spells at her disposal.
Heaven's will be with me; if she’s here, maybe I can avenge my husband.
Miaoyou gritted her teeth, taking out several pills from her bosom and holding up a few talismans in the other hand. The silver light shone brightly, clearly valuable treasures.
