kàn zhe miàn qián tū rán chū xiàn de sì wèi xiū shì ， lǐ fán wēi wēi yǒu xiē chà yì 。
看着面前突然出现的四位修士，李凡微微有些诧异。
Looking at the four cultivators who suddenly appeared before him, Li Fan was slightly surprised.
zì cóng cǐ shì dǎ zhe 【 shàng gǔ tiān jī zōng xiū shì 】 de míng hào jiǎo dòng fēng yǔ yǐ lái ， lǐ fán jiù biàn dé gé wài xiǎo xīn jǐn shèn 。
自从此世打着【上古天机宗修士】的名号搅动风雨以来，李凡就变得格外小心谨慎。
Since he started stirring up trouble in this world under the guise of an ancient sect master, Li Fan had become particularly cautious.
zhǐ yào wài chū ， jiù yí dìng huì yòng 【 zhǐ shǒu zhē tiān 】 mì shù yǐn cáng zì jǐ xíng zōng 。
只要外出，就一定会用【只手遮天】秘术隐藏自己行踪。
Whenever he went out, he would always use the Secret Technique 'One Hand遮天' to conceal his whereabouts.
shàng yī shì néng gòu píng bì xuán wǎng gǎn zhī de mì shù dàng zhēn bù fán ， ruò dà de wàn xiān méng ， xiǎng yào jiàn lǐ fán yí miàn de xiū shì bù zhī fán jǐ 。
上一世能够屏蔽玄网感知的秘术当真不凡，偌大的万仙盟，想要见李凡一面的修士不知凡几。
The secret technique from the previous life that could shield against the Xuan Network's perception was truly remarkable. Countless cultivators in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance wanted to see him, but none succeeded.
dàn què shǐ zhōng méi rén néng gòu rú yuàn yǐ cháng 。
但却始终没人能够如愿以偿。
Today, however, several unexpected guests finally arrived.
bù xiǎng jīn tiān ， zhōng yú yíng lái le jǐ wèi bù sù zhī kè 。
不想今天，终于迎来了几位不速之客。
"Who are you?" Li Fan asked, not expecting a truthful answer, just trying to buy some time.
“ nǐ men shì shuí ？” lǐ fán kāi kǒu wèn dào ， bù zhǐ wàng duì fāng huì rú shí jiāo dài ， zhǐ shì wèi le dān chún de tuō yán shí jiān 。
“你们是谁？”李凡开口问道，不指望对方会如实交代，只是为了单纯的拖延时间。
Sensing the aura emitted by the four black-clothed cultivators, Li Fan felt a bit more at ease.
gǎn yìng zhe sì wèi hēi yī xiū shì liú lù chū de qì xī ， lǐ fán xīn xià shāo ān 。
感应着四位黑衣修士流露出的气息，李凡心下稍安。
They were weaker than Tianyang and should be in the Foundation Establishment realm.
bǐ tiān yáng ruò le bù zhǐ yī chóu ， yīng gāi shì yuán yīng jìng jiè 。
比天阳弱了不只一筹，应该是元婴境界。
"Why did you find me?"
“ zhǎo wǒ hé shì ？” lǐ fán míng zhī gù wèn dào 。
“找我何事？”李凡明知顾问道。
One of them replied coldly, "You'll know soon enough! Set up the array!"
“ děng huì nǐ jiù zhī dào le ！” qí zhōng yī wèi lěng shēng shuō dào ，“ bù zhèn ！”
“等会你就知道了！”其中一位冷声说道，“布阵！”
Each of the four cultivators stood at one corner, with golden light shooting out from their法宝.
fēn lì sì jiǎo ， gè zì yǒu yī dào jīn guāng zì hēi yī xiū shì shǒu zhōng de fǎ qì shè chū 。
分立四角，各自有一道金光自黑衣修士手中的法器射出。
The golden lines twisted and turned in mid-air, forming a dazzling magical array around Li Fan.
jīn xiàn zài kōng zhōng zhǎn zhuǎn fǎn fù ， shà shí jiān zài lǐ fán zhōu biān jiàn zào chéng yí gè jīn guāng yì yì de fǎ zhèn 。
金线在空中辗转反复，霎时间在李凡周边建造成一个金光奕奕的法阵。
It was like a giant bell, trapping him inside.
wǎn ruò yī dǐng jù zhōng ， jiāng lǐ fán kùn zài qí zhōng 。
宛若一鼎巨钟，将李凡困在其中。
Li Fan's eyes flickered as he tried to escape, but it felt as if the space around him had frozen, making it impossible for him to break free.
lǐ fán shuāng mù wēi dòng ， xiǎng yào duǒ bì ， què gǎn jué zhōu wéi de kōng jiān dōu fǎng fú níng gù shì de ， zhèng tuō bù dé 。
李凡双目微动，想要躲避，却感觉周围的空间都仿佛凝固似的，挣脱不得。
"Seize!" The four cultivators shouted in unison.
“ shōu ！” sì rén qí shēng hè dào 。
“收！”四人齐声喝道。
The golden bell rapidly contracted and grew smaller.
jīn zhōng kuài sù shōu suō ， yuè lái yuè xiǎo 。
金钟快速收缩，越来越小。
The golden outline seemed about to completely bind Li Fan.
jīn sè de lún kuò ， yǎn kàn jiù yào bǎ lǐ fán chè dǐ shù fù 。
金色的轮廓，眼看就要把李凡彻底束缚。
"Division Light Dragon Trap Array..."
“ fēn guāng kùn lóng zhèn ……”
“分光困龙阵……”
Despite being trapped, Li Fan remained calm. After countless lifetimes of studying array techniques, he immediately recognized the array these black-clothed cultivators had set up together.
bèi kùn zhèn zhōng ， lǐ fán què shì sī háo bù huāng 。
被困阵中，李凡却是丝毫不慌。
It was one of the most advanced trapping arrays in the world, requiring at least three or more cultivators to perform.
kǔ xiū zhèn fǎ zhī dào shù shì ， tā zì rán shì yī yǎn jiù rèn chū le zhè sì wèi hēi yī xiū shì lián shǒu shī zhǎn de shì shén me fǎ zhèn 。
苦修阵法之道数世，他自然是一眼就认出了这四位黑衣修士联手施展的是什么法阵。
The more people setting up the array, the greater its power, and the easier it would be for them to capture someone from a lower realm.
nǎi shì dāng jīn liú chuán zài shì yī děng yī de kùn zhèn ， kě yóu zhì shǎo sān wèi yǐ shàng xiū shì lián shǒu shī zhǎn 。
乃是当今流传在世一等一的困阵，可由至少三位以上修士联手施展。
Four Foundation Establishment cultivators working together could easily catch even a Spiritual Transformation cultivator under normal circumstances.
bù zhèn de rén yuè duō ， zhèn fǎ de wēi lì yě jiù yuè dà 。 yuè jiē qín ná ， yě shì yì shì 。
布阵的人越多，阵法的威力也就越大。越阶擒拿，也是易事。
But...
sì wèi yuán yīng hé lì ， àn zhào zhèng cháng qíng kuàng xià ， jí biàn shì huà shén xiū shì ， yě néng qīng yì bǔ zhuō le 。
四位元婴合力，按照正常情况下，即便是化神修士，也能轻易捕捉了。
Li Fan sneered inwardly. Although he couldn't move, dozens of Great Pentagonal Annihilation Swords shot out from all over his body.
dàn ……
但……
Destructive black light spread everywhere.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng lěng xiào ， suī rán dòng tán bù dé ， dàn shì cóng shēn tǐ gè chù ， jī shè chū shù shí dào 【 dà wǔ xíng jì miè jiàn 】。
李凡心中冷笑，虽然动弹不得，但是从身体各处，激射出数十道【大五行寂灭剑】。
The four black-clothed cultivators' expressions changed as they sensed the terrifying aura in the black light.
huǐ miè xìng de hēi guāng sì sàn ér chū 。
毁灭性的黑光四散而出。
They instinctively tried to dodge, but soon realized that the black swords weren't targeting them.
gǎn shòu zhe hēi guāng zhōng mí màn de kě bù qì xī ， sì míng hēi yī xiū shì jù shì wēi wēi sè biàn 。
感受着黑光中弥漫的可怖气息，四名黑衣修士俱是微微色变。
Instead, they were aimed at various corners of the Division Light Dragon Trap Array!
xià yì shí de jiù yào duǒ shǎn 。
下意识的就要躲闪。
"Bad news!"
kě mǎ shàng ， zhè xiē hēi yī xiū shì jiù hài rán de fā xiàn ， hēi sè guāng jiàn de mù biāo bú shì tā men 。
可马上，这些黑衣修士就骇然的发现，黑色光剑的目标不是他们。
One of the cultivators exclaimed, realizing that the black light from Li Fan precisely hit all critical points of the array.
ér shì fēn guāng kùn lóng zhèn de gè gè jiǎo luò zhōng ！
而是分光困龙阵的各个角落中！
"Boom!"
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
The intense collision between golden and black light dimmed the once-solid golden bell slightly.
qí zhōng yī wèi xiū shì shī shēng jīng hū ， yīn wèi tā zhōng yú chá jué ， cóng lǐ fán shēn shàng fā chū de hēi guāng ， jīng zhǔn wú bǐ de jī dǎ zài le fēn guāng kùn lóng zhèn de gè gè guān jiàn jié diǎn shàng 。
其中一位修士失声惊呼，因为他终于察觉，从李凡身上发出的黑光，精准无比的击打在了分光困龙阵的各个关键节点上。
The unbreakable trap began to loosen.
“ hōng ！”
“轰！”
"Ridiculous! You dare play with fire in front of a master!"
jīn hēi sè guāng máng jù liè pèng zhuàng ， yuán běn wǎn rú shí zhì dì jīn zhōng ， chà nà jiān biàn dé àn dàn le shǎo xǔ 。
金黑色光芒剧烈碰撞，原本宛如实质的金钟，刹那间变得暗澹了少许。
In the flickering shadows, Li Fan's figure suddenly vanished from within the Dragon Trap Array.
láo bù kě pò de kùn zhèn ， yě yóu zhī sōng dòng 。
牢不可破的困阵，也由之松动。
"Not only does this person know array techniques, but he also excels in derivation and calculation art? This is impossible!"
“ diāo chóng xiǎo jì ， yě gǎn bān mén nòng fǔ ！”
“凋虫小技，也敢班门弄斧！”
The four black-clothed cultivators' minds were filled with shock.
guāng yǐng biàn huàn zhōng ， kùn lóng zhèn zhōng lǐ fán de shēn yǐng dǒu rán xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
光影变幻中，困龙阵中李凡的身影陡然消失不见。
Not only had they been outsmarted, but the array seemed even more refined than one set up by all of them together.
“ chú le tuī yǎn zhī shù wài ， cǐ rén jū rán hái jīng tōng zhèn fǎ ？”
“除了推衍之术外，此人居然还精通阵法？”
Although its power was slightly weaker, it included some unknown improvements compared to the version widely circulated in the world of cultivation.
“ zhè zěn me kě néng ？”
“这怎么可能？”
This small change made breaking the array a difficult task for them.
chà nà jiān ， sì wèi hēi yī xiū shì nǎo hǎi zhōng dū shǎn guò zhè ge niàn tou 。
刹那间，四位黑衣修士脑海中都闪过这个念头。
At this point, the four black-clothed cultivators had no choice but to put forth their full effort.
“ qíng bào yǒu wù ， xiān chè ！”
“情报有误，先撤！”
In the giant golden bowl, unique scenes like snow-covered peaks, misty forests, towering mountains, and vast plains appeared one after another.
wéi shǒu de xiū shì dī hè dào 。
为首的修士低喝道。
Below the dark clouds and above the golden bowl, Li Fan stood still.
rán ér ， zhèng yù chè lí de tā men ， què mò míng fā xiàn ， tiān kōng dǒu rán àn dàn le xià lái 。
然而，正欲撤离的他们，却莫名发现，天空陡然暗澹了下来。
He looked down at the four Foundation Establishment cultivators below, his mind filled with murderous intent.
fǎng fú yǒu yī piàn wū yún ， zhē bì le tiān kōng 。
仿佛有一片乌云，遮蔽了天空。
Not all of them were skilled in array techniques; setting up an array required their法宝. Thus, the hastily set-up array had some flaws.
suí hòu ， shù shí dào jīn guāng cóng wū yún zhōng fēi chū ， yǐ xùn léi bù jí yǎn ěr zhī shì ， zài kōng zhōng huà chū le gèng dà de jīn bō ， jiāng sì rén lóng gài zài nèi 。
随后，数十道金光从乌云中飞出，以迅雷不及掩耳之势，在空中画出了更大的金钵，将四人笼盖在内。
For ordinary cultivators, these flaws wouldn't matter much.
“ fēn guāng kùn lóng zhèn ？！”
“分光困龙阵？！”
But to Li Fan's eyes, the Division Light Dragon Trap Array they had set up was riddled with holes.
hēi yī xiū shì men shēn qū jù zhèn ， shuāng yǎn mǎn shì nán yǐ zhì xìn zhī sè 。
黑衣修士们身躯剧震，双眼满是难以置信之色。
After breaking free from the trap, he immediately counter-attacked.
bù jǐn qǐng kè jiān yǐ qí rén zhī dào hái zhì qí rén zhī shēn ， ér qiě zhè zhèn fǎ kàn shàng qù ， jìng rán bǐ qǐ tā men sì wèi yuán yīng xiū shì lián shǒu bù zhì de ， hái yào jīng miào ！
不仅顷刻间以其人之道还治其人之身，而且这阵法看上去，竟然比起他们四位元婴修士联手布置的，还要精妙！
First, he activated the Secret Technique 'One Hand遮天' to obscure the sky and prevent any external probing.
suī rán zhèn fǎ wēi lì shāo xùn ， dàn xiāng jiào yú xiū xiān jiè guǎng wèi liú chuán de nà ge bǎn běn ， què shì duō chū le yī sī wèi zhī de gǎi jìn 。
虽然阵法威力稍逊，但相较于修仙界广为流传的那个版本，却是多出了一丝未知的改进。
Using a妄言artifact purchased from the Heavenly Xuan Mirror, he interfered with the communication of their灵符.
zhèng shì zhè diǎn biàn huà ， ràng tā men xiǎng yào pò zhèn ， yě yào huā shàng yī fān gōng fu 。
正是这点变化，让他们想要破阵，也要花上一番功夫。
Then, he set up the Shocking Spirit Array, temporarily elevating his dao techniques to Foundation Establishment level.
dào le zhè ge shí hòu ， sì wèi hēi yī xiū shì yě bù dé bù quán lì yǐ fù le 。
到了这个时候，四位黑衣修士也不得不全力以赴了。
He used the Division Light array to briefly trap them all.
jù dà de jīn bō zhōng ， dú lì xuě fēng 、 mí wù cóng lín 、 rú jiàn zhí shān 、 guǎng kuò píng yuán ， sì zhǒng dú tè de dòng tiān jǐng xiàng xiāng jì chū xiàn 。
巨大的金钵中，独立雪峰、迷雾丛林、如剑直山、广阔平原，四种独特的洞天景象相继出现。
"I could cut through an Foundation Establishment cultivator when I was at the Foundation Establishment stage."
hēi yún zhī xià 、 jīn bō zhī shàng ， lǐ fán zhù zú ér lì 。
黑云之下、金钵之上，李凡驻足而立。
"Now that my cultivation has advanced to late Golden Core, you four are as easy as selling your heads on a stick!"
fǔ shì zhe xià fāng sì wèi yuán yīng xiū shì ， xīn zhōng shā yì mí màn 。
俯视着下方四位元婴修士，心中杀意弥漫。
"Turn Over!"
zhè jǐ rén bìng fēi dōu jīng yú zhèn fǎ yī dào ， bù zhèn hái xū fǎ qì xiāng zhù 。 suǒ yǐ cāng cù jiān bù xià de fǎ zhèn zì rán yǒu xiē xǔ xiá cī 。
这几人并非都精于阵法一道，布阵还需法器相助。所以仓促间布下的法阵自然有些许瑕疵。
A giant hand descended from the sky. The four cultivators in the golden bowl were like turtles trapped in a pot with no escape.
ruò shì duì fù xún cháng xiū shì ， zhè xiē xiá cī zì rán wú suǒ wèi 。
若是对付寻常修士，这些瑕疵自然无所谓。
The coldness of the snow-covered peaks, the eerie screams from the misty forest, the collision of the towering mountain, and the rising smoke from the vast plains...
kě lǐ fán zài yǎn zhōng ， tā men bù xià de 【 fēn guāng kùn lóng zhèn 】， kě wèi shì pò zhàn bǎi chū 。
可李凡在眼中，他们布下的【分光困龙阵】，可谓是破绽百出。
As the array scenes evolved, all their abilities were used to the fullest.
pò zhèn ér chū hòu ， tā lì mǎ fǎn zhì 。
破阵而出后，他立马反制。
Four colored lights intertwined and converged, colliding with his Overturning Palm.
xiān shì fā dòng zhǐ shǒu zhē tiān mì shù ， zhē bì tiān kōng ， gé jué wài jiè duì zhè lǐ de kě néng kuī tàn 。
先是发动只手遮天秘术，遮蔽天空，隔绝外界对这里的可能窥探。
But it was useless!
yòng tiān xuán jìng zhōng gòu mǎi de 【 wàng yán 】 fǎ qì ， gān rǎo líng fú tōng xùn 。
用天玄镜中购买的【妄言】法器，干扰灵符通讯。
Like paper-thin water, they quickly broke apart.
suí hòu bù xià 【 bào fǎ jīng shén zhèn 】， zàn shí shǐ zì jǐ de dào fǎ zhāo shì shàng shēng dào yuán yīng jìng jiè 。
随后布下【爆法惊神阵】，暂时使自己的道法招式上升到元婴境界。
The giant hand pressed down on them in a cacophony of screams as their bodies shattered into pieces.
zài yǐ fēn guāng zhèn ， zàn shí jiāng jǐ rén kùn zhù 。
再以分光阵，暂时将几人困住。
As the array scenes reappeared, flesh writhed before reforming into complete bodies.
“ wǒ zhù jī shí ， jiù kě lì zhǎn yuán yīng 。”
“我筑基时，就可力斩元婴。”
The Overturning Palm's momentum continued, ignoring their physical forms and instead targeting the four main arrays.
“ rú jīn xiū wèi yǐ jīng jìn shēng zhì jīn dān hòu qī ， guān nǐ men sì rén ， rú chā biāo mài shǒu ěr ！”
“如今修为已经晋升至金丹后期，观你们四人，如插标卖首耳！”
"Bang!"
“ fān tiān ！”
“翻天！”
The array trembled. The peaks, misty forests, and vast plains seemed to face an apocalypse.
jù dà de shǒu zhǎng cóng tiān ér jiàng ， jīn bō zhōng de sì wèi xiū shì ， rú wèng zhōng zhī biē ， wú chǔ kě táo 。
巨大的手掌从天而降，金钵中的四位修士，如瓮中之鳖，无处可逃。
In the deafening roar, cracks began to appear in the array domain.
xuě fēng hán yì piāo rán 、 wù lín zhōng fā chū guǐ mèi de jiān jiào 、 bǐ zhí de shān fēng yíng tóu zhuàng shàng 、 píng yuán zhōng shēng qǐ niǎo niǎo chuī yān ……
雪峰寒意飘然、雾林中发出鬼魅的尖叫、笔直的山峰迎头撞上、平原中升起鸟鸟炊烟……
Mountains collapsed, trees fell in the misty forest, and the ground split open...
dòng tiān jǐng xiàng yǎn biàn ， sì rén shǒu duàn jǐn chū 。
洞天景象演变，四人手段尽出。
It seemed that at any moment, all four arrays would be destroyed.
sì sè guāng máng jiū chán 、 jù hé zài yì qǐ ， hé fān tiān zhǎng pèng zhuàng zài yī chù 。
四色光芒纠缠、聚合在一起，和翻天掌碰撞在一处。
But these black-clothed cultivators worked together flawlessly. Even in this life-and-death situation, none of them retreated.
dàn ， méi yòng ！
但，没用！
They channeled their full power, working together to resist Li Fan's Overturning Palm.
rú zhǐ hú de bān ， yī chù jí kuì 。
如纸湖的般，一触即溃。
The giant hand's shadow vanished as the array domain slowly calmed down.
jù zhǎng dāng tóu yā xià ， zài cǎn jiào shēng zhōng ， sì rén shēn qū cùn cùn suì liè 。
巨掌当头压下，在惨叫声中，四人身躯寸寸碎裂。
The four cultivators looked shaken and immediately drew on surrounding qi to mend their own array injuries.
dòng tiān jǐng xiàng zài xiàn ， xuè ròu zài rú dòng zhōng ， chóng xīn biàn huà chéng wán zhěng shēn tǐ 。
洞天景象再现，血肉在蠕动中，重新变化成完整身体。
They took out medicinal pills and searched for Li Fan's whereabouts.
fān tiān zhǎng yú shì bù jué ， bù zài guǎn duì fāng de ròu shēn ， zhuǎn ér cháo zhe sì dà dòng tiān hōng qù 。
翻天掌余势不绝，不再管对方的肉身，转而朝着四大洞天轰去。
"This divine technique is powerful, so that Li Fan must have expended a lot of energy. We should take this opportunity to break the Dragon Trap Array!"
“ pēng ！”
“砰！”
"Clearly, his Golden Core cultivation isn't as superficial as it appears; he might have already recovered from his injuries."
dòng tiān zhèn chàn ， shān fēng 、 wù lín 、 píng yuán zhōng ， fǎng fú yíng lái mò shì 。
洞天震颤，山峰、雾林、平原中，仿佛迎来末世。
"That's right, we need to send this message back. This person is likely an诱饵 thrown by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance!"
jù dà de hōng míng shēng zhōng ， dào dào jù dà de liè wén zài dòng tiān fǎ yù zhōng fú xiàn 。
巨大的轰鸣声中，道道巨大的裂纹在洞天法域中浮现。
While they focused on healing their injuries, they used their divine sense to communicate with each other.
"Hmm?"
Looking at the four cultivators who suddenly appeared before him, Li Fan was slightly surprised.
Since he started stirring up trouble in this world under the guise of an ancient sect master, Li Fan had become particularly cautious.
Whenever he went out, he would always use the Secret Technique 'One Hand遮天' to conceal his whereabouts.
The secret technique from the previous life that could shield against the Xuan Network's perception was truly remarkable. Countless cultivators in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance wanted to see him, but none succeeded.

They were weaker than Tianyang and should be in the Foundation Establishment realm.
"Why did you find me?"
One of them replied coldly, "You'll know soon enough! Set up the array!"
Each of the four cultivators stood at one corner, with golden light shooting out from their法宝.
The golden lines twisted and turned in mid-air, forming a dazzling magical array around Li Fan.
It was like a giant bell, trapping him inside.
Li Fan's eyes flickered as he tried to escape, but it felt as if the space around him had frozen, making it impossible for him to break free.
"Seize!" The four cultivators shouted in unison.
The golden bell rapidly contracted and grew smaller.
The golden outline seemed about to completely bind Li Fan.
"Division Light Dragon Trap Array..."
