dì lù wǔ de chū shǒu shí zài shì tài kuài le 。
第陆武的出手实在是太快了。
Six Wu's move was incredibly swift.
zhí dào yín lóng xiàn chū zhēn shēn ， nà shì yī bǐng yín sè cháng qiāng 。
直到银龙现出真身，那是一柄银色长枪。
Until the silver dragon revealed its true form, it was a long silver spear.
guān jǐng jìng zhōng cái huǎn huǎn chū xiàn shuō míng 。
观景镜中才缓缓出现说明。
The viewing mirror only slowly provided an explanation: "A spear moves like a dragon, nothing can withstand it."
“ qiāng chū rú lóng ， wú wù bù pò 。”
“枪出如龙，无物不破。”
After piercing through Xu Guzhi's body, the silver spear suddenly turned around and shattered countless sword shadows one by one before returning to Six Wu's hand at his leisurely pace.
dòng chuān le xú gù zhī de shēn tǐ zhī hòu ， yín sè cháng qiāng zhòu rán huí shēn ， jiāng màn tiān jiàn yǐng zhú yī chuān pò 。
洞穿了徐顾之的身体之后，银色长枪骤然回身，将漫天剑影逐一穿破。
At this moment, Xu Guzhi's consecutive mountain-sized swords still hadn't made contact with Six Wu's body.
ér hòu fāng cái màn yōu yōu de huí dào dì lù wǔ shǒu zhōng 。
而后方才慢悠悠的回到第陆武手中。
Amidst the brilliance of the silver spear, it vanished quietly.
cǐ shí ， xú gù zhī huī chū de lián shān jù jiàn men ， réng rán méi yǒu chù pèng dào dì lù wǔ de shēn tǐ 。
此时，徐顾之挥出的连山巨剑们，仍然没有触碰到第陆武的身体。
Xu Guzhi spat out a mouthful of blood and stared incredulously at the "child" before him who showed no signs of emotion.
zài yín máng chěng wēi zhōng ， dàn dàn dì xiāo shī 。
在银芒逞威中，澹澹地消失。
The tide had turned in an instant.
xú gù zhī měng dì tǔ chū yī kǒu xiān xuè ， nán yǐ zhì xìn de kàn zhuó yǎn qián zhè wèi sī háo kàn bú dào rèn hé qíng xù bō dòng de “ hái tóng ”。
徐顾之勐地吐出一口鲜血，难以置信的看着眼前这位丝毫看不到任何情绪波动的“孩童”。
In fact, most spectators couldn't see what happened just now.
zhàn jú de niǔ zhuǎn zhǐ zài shùn xī zhī jiān 。
战局的扭转只在瞬息之间。
Only through the slow playback on the viewing mirror did they understand the details of the battle, causing them to gasp in awe.
shí jì shàng ， tiān dǐ xià jué dà duō shù de guān zhàn xiū shì ， dōu méi néng kàn qīng chǔ gāng gāng fā shēng de shì qíng 。
实际上，天底下绝大多数的观战修士，都没能看清楚刚刚发生的事情。
"Such a fast speed! Such sharp spear techniques!"
zhǐ shì zài guān jǐng jìng yī biàn yòu yī biàn de màn sù bō fàng zhōng ， cái liǎo jiě le zhàn dòu de xì jié 。
只是在观景镜一遍又一遍的慢速播放中，才了解了战斗的细节。
"How formidable is this Six Wu! I think even some Daoist Sage Monarchs might not be his match!"
yú shì fēn fēn dào xī liáng qì 。
于是纷纷倒吸凉气。
"Friend, who are you referring to?"
“ hǎo kuài de sù dù ！ hǎo xī lì de qiāng fǎ ！”
“好快的速度！好犀利的枪法！”
...
“ zhè dì lù wǔ jiū jìng shì shén me lái tou ， zhè yě tài qiáng le ba ！ wǒ kàn yǒu xiē hé dào xiān zūn ， yě wèi bì shì tā de duì shǒu ！”
“这第陆武究竟是什么来头，这也太强了吧！我看有些合道仙尊，也未必是他的对手！”
But Xu Guzhi, pierced by the silver spear, didn't immediately concede defeat.
“ dào yǒu zhǐ de shì shuí ， bù fáng míng shuō 。”
“道友指的是谁，不妨明说。”
He took a deep breath and recovered from his injuries.
……
……
Xu Guzhi opened his mouth slightly, swallowing the straight sword in his hand into his abdomen.
ér chǎng zhōng bèi yín qiāng guàn chuān de xú gù zhī ， què méi yǒu mǎ shàng rèn shū 。
而场中被银枪贯穿的徐顾之，却没有马上认输。
The sword entered his body, but he remained unseen.
shēn shēn xī le kǒu qì ， shēn tǐ shāng shì jǐn fù 。
深深吸了口气，身体伤势尽复。
In full view of everyone, Xu Guzhi vanished!
xú gù zhī wēi wēi zhāng zuǐ ， jiāng shǒu zhōng zhí jiàn tūn rù fù zhōng 。
徐顾之微微张嘴，将手中直剑吞入腹中。
It was only the explanation on the viewing mirror that made the spectators realize what had happened.
jiàn rù tǐ ， shēn bú jiàn 。
剑入体，身不见。
"Return the sword to concealment; kill and hide."
xú gù zhī jiù zhè me táng ér huáng zhī de zài zhòng mù kuí kuí xià ， xiāo shī bú jiàn le ！
徐顾之就这么堂而皇之的在众目睽睽下，消失不见了！
For the first time, Six Wu's face showed some emotion.
hái shì guān jǐng jìng zhōng fú xiàn de jiě shuō ， ràng xiū shì men míng bái fà shēng le shén me 。
还是观景镜中浮现的解说，让修士们明白发生了什么。
But it was just a flicker.
“ jiàn guī cáng ， shā nì kōng 。”
“剑归藏，杀匿空。”
He stood still in mid-air, extending his right hand forward and making a挑衅 gesture.
dì lù wǔ de liǎn shàng ， yě shì shǒu cì liú lù chū xiē xǔ shén qíng bō dòng 。
第陆武的脸上，也是首次流露出些许神情波动。
Almost instantly, an invisible sword light appeared near Six Wu's head.
dàn yě jǐn jǐn shì bō dòng ér yǐ le 。
但也仅仅是波动而已了。
Silently, it aimed to sever his head when silver light met the "concealed sword" and stopped the attack.
tā chù lì xū kōng bù dòng ， shēn chū yòu shǒu cháo qián gōu le gōu ， zuò chū gè tiǎo xìn de dòng zuò 。
他矗立虚空不动，伸出右手朝前勾了勾，做出个挑衅的动作。
Six Wu scanned around but couldn't find Xu Guzhi's whereabouts.
jī hū shì chà nà zhī hòu ， yī dào wú xíng jiàn guāng zhòu rán zài dì lù wǔ tóu dǐng bù yuǎn chù fú xiàn 。
几乎是刹那之后，一道无形剑光骤然在第陆武头顶不远处浮现。
Another invisible sword energy attacked, undetectable by anyone.
qiāo wú shēng xī ， jiù yào jiāng dì lù wǔ tóu lú zhǎn luò de shí hòu 。
悄无声息，就要将第陆武头颅斩落的时候。
But just as it was about to touch Six Wu's body, he blocked it with his silver spear.
yín sè guāng máng hōng rán yíng shàng “ guī cáng jiàn ”， jiāng shā zhāo dāng xià 。
银色光芒轰然迎上“归藏剑”，将杀招当下。
"The sword may be intangible, but its intent moves without heart."
dì lù wǔ mù guāng sǎo shì sì zhōu ， què réng rán méi yǒu zhǎo dào xú gù zhī de zōng jì 。
第陆武目光扫视四周，却仍然没有找到徐顾之的踪迹。
"Gun of martial prowess, speed at its peak, breaking myriad techniques."
yòu yī dào wú xíng jiàn qì xí lái ， wú fǎ bèi rén chá jué 。
又一道无形剑气袭来，无法被人察觉。
The viewing mirror provided another explanation.
dàn réng rán shì zài jí jiāng chù pèng dào dì lù wǔ shēn tǐ qián de shùn jiān ， bèi tā de yín qiāng lán xià 。
但仍然是在即将触碰到第陆武身体前的瞬间，被他的银枪拦下。
Li Fan stared at the two lines for a long time, then recalled the battle between Six Wu and Xu Guzhi. He understood something.
“ jiàn suī wú xíng ， yì què wú xīn ér dòng 。”
“剑虽无形，意却无心而动。”
Xu Guzhi's concealed sword was indeed extraordinary; even Six Wu couldn't detect it.
“ wǔ zhī qiāng ， sù zhī jí ， pò wàn fǎ 。”
“武之枪，速之极，破万法。”
But Six Wu's speed was too fast—far beyond Xu Guzhi's level.
guān jǐng jìng de jiě shuō zài cì chū xiàn 。
观景镜的解说再次出现。
Six Wu had mastered the technique of moving without intent, allowing him to block each concealed sword with his silver spear just before he was hit.
lǐ fán dīng zhe xiǎo jìng zhōng de zhè liǎng xíng zì xǔ jiǔ ， zài huí xiǎng zhe gāng gāng dì lù wǔ liǎng rén zhàn dòu de huà miàn ， ruò yǒu suǒ wù 。
李凡盯着小镜中的这两行字许久，再回想着刚刚第陆武两人战斗的画面，若有所悟。
It seemed that Xu Guzhi could not possibly defeat Six Wu.
xú gù zhī de guī cáng jiàn guǒ rán bù tóng fán xiǎng ， jiù lián dì lù wǔ yě dí què fā xiàn bù liǎo tā de zōng jì 。
徐顾之的归藏剑果然不同凡响，就连第陆武也的确发现不了它的踪迹。
But for Six Wu to defeat Xu Guzhi...
dàn shì dì lù wǔ de sù dù shí zài tài kuài le 。
但是第陆武的速度实在太快了。
Seemed equally difficult.
bǐ qǐ xú gù zhī yào kuài le bù zhǐ yí gè céng jí 。
比起徐顾之要快了不止一个层级。
Clearly fed up with this mockery, Six Wu's brows furrowed for the first time.
dì lù wǔ gèng shì zhǎng wò le yì shí wú xīn ér dòng de fǎ mén ， gù ér zài zì shēn jí jiāng shòu dào gōng jī de chà nà ， diào dòng yín sè cháng qiāng ， yī yī jiāng guī cáng jiàn lán xià 。
第陆武更是掌握了意识无心而动的法门，故而在自身即将受到攻击的刹那，调动银色长枪，一一将归藏剑拦下。
Violent silver light surged from his body and swept across the surroundings, determined to destroy everything in its path.
zhè me kàn lái ， xú gù zhī xiǎng yào zhàn shèng dì lù wǔ ， míng xiǎn shì gè bù kě néng wán chéng de rèn wù le 。
这么看来，徐顾之想要战胜第陆武，明显是个不可能完成的任务了。
The viewing mirror was instantly engulfed by the silver light.
dàn dì lù wǔ xiǎng yào zhàn shèng xú gù zhī ……
但第陆武想要战胜徐顾之……
After a brief moment of blindness, the scene returned to normal.
sì hū yě shí fēn kùn nán 。
似乎也十分困难。
"Xu Guzhi must be dead now."
zhǐ jiàn dì lù wǔ sì hū shì shòu gòu le rú cǐ xì nòng ， méi tóu dì yī cì zhòu qǐ 。
只见第陆武似乎是受够了如此戏弄，眉头第一次皱起。
Just as many spectators thought this, another invisible sword light appeared, seemingly relentless, aiming at Six Wu's head.
bào nüè de yín sè guāng máng zì tā shēn shàng yǒng xiàn ， cháo zhe zhōu wéi héng sǎo ér qù ， shì yào huǐ miè bō jí dào de yī qiè shì wù 。
暴虐的银色光芒自他身上涌现，朝着周围横扫而去，誓要毁灭波及到的一切事物。
Xu Guzhi remained hidden somewhere in the arena!
guān jǐng jìng de huà miàn chà nà jiān yě dōu wán quán bèi yín máng suǒ yān mò 。
观景镜的画面刹那间也都完全被银芒所淹没。
Li Fan's eyes lit up: "This method for self-preservation is truly excellent."
duǎn zàn de shī míng zhī hòu ， jìng zhōng chǎng jǐng zhú jiàn huī fù zhèng cháng 。
短暂的失明之后，镜中场景逐渐恢复正常。
Clearly angered by Xu Guzhi's cheeky handling, Six Wu unleashed silver electric snakes that swept across the space, even creating black rifts.
“ zhè xià nà xú gù zhī ， zǒng guī shì sǐ le ba 。”
“这下那徐顾之，总归是死了吧。”
But he still couldn't find Xu Guzhi.
jiù zài zhū duō xiū shì rú cǐ xiǎng de shí hòu ， yòu shì yī dào wú xíng jiàn guāng ， fǎng fú yīn hún bù sàn bān de ， cháo zhe dì lù wǔ de kǎn lái 。
就在诸多修士如此想的时候，又是一道无形剑光，仿佛阴魂不散般的，朝着第陆武的砍来。
In the viewing gallery of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, people began to boo and curse.
xú gù zhī ， réng rán guī cáng zài chǎng zhōng mǒu chù ！
徐顾之，仍然归藏在场中某处！
"What kind of competition is this? Can't fight, hide instead?"
lǐ fán jiàn zhuàng ， shuāng yǎn dùn shí yī liàng ：“ cǐ fǎ yòng lái bǎo mìng ， dàng zhēn bù cuò 。”
李凡见状，双眼顿时一亮：“此法用来保命，当真不错。”
"Let's just call him Xu Turtle from now on!"
dì lù wǔ míng xiǎn bèi xú gù zhī rú cǐ wú lài de dǎ fā ， jī qǐ le huǒ qì 。
第陆武明显被徐顾之如此无赖的打发，激起了火气。
Regardless of others' comments, Xu Guzhi remained undisturbed, hiding in mid-air.
yín sè diàn shé bù tíng cháo zhe zhōu wéi kōng jiān sǎo guò ， shèn zhì dōu jī qǐ yī dào dào hēi sè de xū kōng liè xì 。
银色电蛇不停朝着周围空间扫过，甚至都激起一道道黑色的虚空裂隙。
He continuously launched attacks with his sword at Six Wu.
dàn què réng rán méi yǒu jiāng xú gù zhī zhǎo chū lái 。
但却仍然没有将徐顾之找出来。
Seeing that the battle would likely never end, both parties agreed to a friendly settlement.
wàn xiān méng de guān zhàn xí zhōng ， bù jīn chuán lái xū shēng yǔ màn mà shēng 。
万仙盟的观战席中，不禁传来嘘声与谩骂声。
The first match of the day ended in a draw!
“ zhè suàn shén me bǐ shì ？ dǎ bù guò jiù duǒ qǐ lái ？”
“这算什么比试？打不过就躲起来？”
This outcome was entirely unexpected by everyone.
“ wǒ kàn bié jiào xú gù zhī le ， gǎi míng zì jiào xú wū guī ba ！”
“我看别叫徐顾之了，改名字叫徐乌龟吧！”
In the Law Derives from Heaven Mirror's [Law Expands the World] section, one immortal sent this message:
dàn wú lùn bié rén zěn me píng lùn ， xú gù zhī yī rán bù wèi suǒ dòng ， guī cáng yú xū kōng zhōng 。
但无论别人怎么评论，徐顾之依然不为所动，归藏于虚空中。
"F*ck! It really did end in a tie. Three hundred times the odds? I'm finally turning into a fish!"
yī jiàn yòu yī jiàn de bù tíng cháo zhe dì lù wǔ fā dòng gōng jī 。
一剑又一剑的不停朝着第陆武发动攻击。
It drew countless immortals' envy and curses.
yǎn kàn zhè chǎng zhàn dòu kǒng pà dǎ dào tiān huāng dì lǎo dōu bú huì yǒu jié guǒ ， zuì zhōng zài shuāng fāng de yǒu hǎo xié shāng xià 。
眼看这场战斗恐怕打到天荒地老都不会有结果，最终在双方的友好协商下。
After Xu Guzhi and Six Wu took their seats, they rested briefly before the second match began.
yí gè xì jù xìng de jié guǒ fā shēng le 。
一个戏剧性的结果发生了。
The representative from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was Su Feng, whom Li Fan recognized as "Invincible."
bǐ shì dì yī tiān de dì yī cháng ， jū rán yǐ píng jú shōu chǎng ！
比试第一天的第一场，居然以平局收场！
However, the representative from the Five Elders Association was a hobbled disabled man.
zhè ge jié guǒ ， kě shì dà dà chū hū le suǒ yǒu rén de yì liào 。
这个结果，可是大大出乎了所有人的意料。
Despite his unremarkable appearance, this "Crooked Daoist" had formidable combat strength.
wéi dú zài tiān xuán jìng 【 fǎ yǎn tiān xià 】 de bǎn kuài zhōng ， yǒu xiū shì fā le zhè yàng yī dào xùn xī 。
唯独在天玄镜【法衍天下】的版块中，有修士发了这样一道讯息。
His every move seemed to contain countless powers, distorting space so that the live stream on the viewing mirror became blurry.
“ wǒ cǎo ！ jū rán zhēn de píng jú le ， sān bǎi bèi péi lǜ ？ lǎo zi zhè xià zhēn de shì xián yú fān shēn le ！”
“我艹！居然真的平局了，三百倍赔率？老子这下真的是咸鱼翻身了！”
But Su Feng wasn't easily defeated; he managed to block all of the Crooked Daoist's attacks with his golden armor.
yǐn lái wú shù xiū shì xiàn mù yǔ màn mà 。
引来无数修士羡慕与谩骂。
After a long struggle, Su Feng seized an opportunity and used forty-nine flying swords to defeat the Crooked Daoist.
xú gù zhī hé dì lù wǔ xià chǎng hòu ， shāo wēi xiū xī le piàn kè ， dì èr chǎng bǐ shì kāi shǐ le 。
徐顾之和第陆武下场后，稍微休息了片刻，第二场比试开始了。
The second match ended in victory for the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
wàn xiān méng pài chū de xiū shì ， lǐ fán yě rèn shí ， zhèng shì wài hào 【 wǒ wú dí 】 de shuò fēng 。
万仙盟派出的修士，李凡也认识，正是外号【我无敌】的朔锋。
However, Su Feng didn't show much satisfaction. He bowed to the Crooked Daoist without saying a word before leaving.
ér wǔ lǎo huì nà biān de dài biǎo ， què shì yí gè yī qué yī guǎi de cán jí rén 。
而五老会那边的代表，却是一个一瘸一拐的残疾人。
It seemed he wasn't particularly pleased with his own victory.
zhè wèi 【 qué dào rén 】 suī rán kàn shàng qù qí mào bù yáng ， shí zé zhàn lì qiáng hàn 。
这位【瘸道人】虽然看上去其貌不扬，实则战力强悍。
"Su Feng's victory lies in the power of his equipment rather than martial prowess."
jǔ shǒu tóu zú jiān ， fǎng fú bāo hán wú shù wēi néng 。 lián kōng jiān dōu bèi niǔ qū yì bān ， shǐ de guān jǐng jìng de zhí bō huà miàn dōu chū xiàn le mó hú 。
举手投足间，仿佛包含无数威能。连空间都被扭曲一般，使得观景镜的直播画面都出现了模湖。
The viewing mirror even provided this commentary after the match.
dàn shuò fēng yě bú shì yì yǔ de ， lèng shì kào zhe zì jǐ nà yī shēn jīn guāng càn càn de kǎi jiǎ ， bǎ qué dào rén de gōng jī jìn shù dǎng xià 。
但朔锋也不是易与的，愣是靠着自己那一身金光灿灿的铠甲，把瘸道人的攻击尽数挡下。
Normally, such comments would be inappropriate, but they appeared nonetheless.
suí hòu èr zhě chán dòu xǔ jiǔ ， zuì zhōng hái shì shuò fēng zhuā zhù shí jī ， yù shǐ qī qī sì shí jiǔ bǐng fēi jiàn ， jiāng qué dào rén jī bài 。
随后二者缠斗许久，最终还是朔锋抓住时机，御使七七四十九柄飞剑，将瘸道人击败。
"Who is Su Feng?"
dì èr chǎng bǐ shì ， shì wàn xiān méng shèng le 。
第二场比试，是万仙盟胜了。
"How powerful are the treasures on him! If I had that set, I wouldn't be much weaker!"
dàn shuò fēng běn rén ， liǎn shàng què bìng méi yǒu duō shǎo dé yì de shén sè 。 cháo zhe qué dào rén gǒng le gǒng shǒu ， yī yán bù fā de lí qù 。
但朔锋本人，脸上却并没有多少得意的神色。朝着瘸道人拱了拱手，一言不发的离去。
"Just you? You have a good mother, right? Just dreaming!"
kàn shàng qù sì hū duì zì jǐ de shèng lì ， bìng bù zěn me mǎn yì 。
看上去似乎对自己的胜利，并不怎么满意。
"Good mother? Friend, explain."
“ shuò fēng zhī shèng ， zài yú qì zhī lì ， ér fēi wǔ zhī yǒng yě 。”
“朔锋之胜，在于器之利，而非武之勇也。”
...
jū rán lián guān jǐng jìng zài sài hòu dōu chū xiàn le zhè yàng yī dào píng lùn 。
居然连观景镜在赛后都出现了这样一道评论。
Immortals discussed heatedly. It soon became known that Su Feng was the son of Scarlet Snow Daoist.
àn lǐ lái shuō ， zhè zhǒng zhǎng tā rén zhì qì 、 miè jǐ fāng wēi fēng de shì qíng shì bù yīng gāi fā shēng de 。
按理来说，这种长他人志气、灭己方威风的事情是不应该发生的。
Perhaps his mother's influence was why he could participate in this competition.
dàn què piān piān chū xiàn le 。
但却偏偏出现了。
Regardless of what Su Feng thought, the third match began amid such enthusiastic discussions.
“ shuò fēng shì shuí ？”
“朔锋是谁？”
Thinking it would be another fierce battle, the result came quickly—just one punch and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance representative fell.
“ tā shēn shàng de fǎ bǎo hǎo shēng lì hài ！ rú guǒ wǒ yǒu zhè yī tào zhuāng bèi ， xiǎng bì yě bú huì ruò shàng duō shǎo ba ？”
“他身上的法宝好生厉害！如果我有这一套装备，想必也不会弱上多少吧？”
The one who landed that punch was the unremarkable-looking farmer from the Five Elders Association.
Six Wu's move was incredibly swift.
Until the silver dragon revealed its true form, it was a long silver spear.
The viewing mirror only slowly provided an explanation: "A spear moves like a dragon, nothing can withstand it."
After piercing through Xu Guzhi's body, the silver spear suddenly turned around and shattered countless sword shadows one by one before returning to Six Wu's hand at his leisurely pace.
At this moment, Xu Guzhi's consecutive mountain-sized swords still hadn't made contact with Six Wu's body.
Amidst the brilliance of the silver spear, it vanished quietly.
Xu Guzhi spat out a mouthful of blood and stared incredulously at the "child" before him who showed no signs of emotion.
The tide had turned in an instant.
In fact, most spectators couldn't see what happened just now.
Only through the slow playback on the viewing mirror did they understand the details of the battle, causing them to gasp in awe.
"Such a fast speed! Such sharp spear techniques!"
"How formidable is this Six Wu! I think even some Daoist Sage Monarchs might not be his match!"
"Friend, who are you referring to?"
...
But Xu Guzhi, pierced by the silver spear, didn't immediately concede defeat.
He took a deep breath and recovered from his injuries.
Xu Guzhi opened his mouth slightly, swallowing the straight sword in his hand into his abdomen.
The sword entered his body, but he remained unseen.
