407: Second trap 407: Second trap Editor: Exodus Tales  剑风舞动,树叶簌簌作响.

Sword light dancing in the air, to the melodic beat of the leaves rustling.

It seems like a harmonious scene ^of a master teaching his disciple.^  周围尽是玄光与剑影,夹杂着时不时响起的霹雳之声,动荡不安.

But outside this harmonious scene, mystic light and sword shadow surround them, pairing along with thunder and lightning, threatening the safety of the two cultivators competing.

陆明舒执剑而立,神念施展,笼罩下来.

Lu Mingshu held her sword high and form a shield with her mind.

只是因为磁光的影响,神念的准确性大大降低,干扰因素太多,导致她建起的模型不大精准.

The magneto-optics effects caused Lu Mingshu to be unable to concentrate and perform as per normal.

温掌院口气那么大,果然是有些底气的.

And indeed, Courtyard leaden Wen is not easy to tackle like he himself had said.

各界的境界划分,并不是一成不变.本界初入出神,实力大约与修真世界的假丹差不多,比圣王世界的凝神期稍微弱上一线.但随着修为提升,出神境与出神境的差距变得极大,到达顶峰,比之金丹丝毫不弱.到了化物境,更是超过了金丹.

In every world, they have different level of differentiating the realms.

When one has just entered the spirit realm in Lu Mingshu’s world, it is equivalent to the false elixir realm and a bit weaker than the freezing spirit realm.

But as the spirit realm cultivators upgrade themselves, they would slowly distinguish themselves from the other realms, and be at the same level as the golden elixir when they reach the peak of spirit realm.

And when they get to the assimilation realm, they will be better than the golden elixir.

殷虹与那位盛长老,虽然进入出神多年,实力却没怎么长进,陆明舒收拾起来十分容易.但温掌院就不是那么简单了,他虽然不如当初的刘极真,但也是同辈中的佼佼者,十几年下来,实力堪与金丹相比.再加上他们早先一步布了陷阱,还有帮手在侧,不是她随随便便就能干掉的了.

Unlike Yin Hong and elder Sheng, whose ability remain stagnant every since they have broken through the Spirit realm.

It’s easy for Lu Mingshu to tackle people like them, but Courtyard leader Wen is another story.

He may not be as good as Liu Jizhen was, but he is still one of the best among his generation.

He has improved over the years and his ability now is similar to golden elixir.

Furthermore, they had prepared trap and Courtyard leader Wen came with helpers.

It’s not easy for Lu Mingshu to win.

对手实力强,为人又谨慎,周围有他们的陷阱,再加上两个帮手…

~A strong opponent whose extremely careful, traps are over there, and the helpers and standing there…~   陆明舒静下心来,将收集到的数据,一项项飞快地填进合适的位置.

Lu Mingshu calmed herself down and processed the information she just collected.

一片树叶落下来.

Just then, a leave fell to the floor.

看似无心的一个举动,在树叶掉到半途时,突然一道霹雳闪现,仿佛按动了什么开关,”轰隆”一声炸响,闪电迅速漫延.

It seems like an irrelevant act, but when the leaf touched the ground, a lighting strike down to the ground, as if that the leaf has activated a switch.

“Boom” An explosion could be heard and the lighting spread through the ground, reaching Lu Mingshu in no time.

陆明舒身影一闪,刚刚落定,周围又牵起无数的变化,磁光余波荡起气浪,向她涌来.

Lu Mingshu jumped up to dodge the lighting, but as soon as she landed, the electromagnetic waves followed her actions and start coming for her.

温掌院这个陷阱,可比殷虹那个强多了,不但处处严丝合缝,甚至有意将余波引下来,造成一个旋涡,令她难以脱身.

Courtyard leader Wen’s trap is way stronger than Yin Hong’s one.

Not only there’s almost no gap for Lu Mingshu to counter attack, it is even able to control the waves to make it into an electromagnetic wave whirlpool, sucking Lu Mingshu in and trapping her.

隐身附近的三个人,静静地看着她的身影被闪电淹没.没有人轻慢,都在等待时机.

As for Courtyard leader Wen and his helpers who are in the hide watch her drown in lighting.

However, none of them are resting.

They are all waiting for the right moment.

他们可不是付明溪,既然决定干这一票,那就要把所有的本事都拿出来,一击制敌,令她不能翻身!打蛇就要打七寸,一口气打死,不然被反咬一口,说不准把自己的性命赔上.

None of them are Fu Mingxi.

Since they have decided to get Lu Mingshu dead, then they will do their best to get Lu Mingshu!

Give her the most fatal blow and end her at once, incase she counter attack and take their lives instead.

温掌院看着在闪电中飘动的身影,嘴角勾起微笑.

Seeing the figure struggling among the lightings, a smile formed on courtyard leader’s face.

这个丫头,果然强悍.这样的陷阱,就算是他自己掉进去了,都不能保证全身而退,她在里面这么久,居然还是毫发无伤.

~This girl is indeed strong.

I may not even get out safe if I were to land in this trap yet she is still able to remain unharmed?~  不过,她越强,就越说明这次的埋伏有价值.要不是看中她手中的秘法,他怎么可能听周妙如的?就算周妙如现今是周家的掌事人,但不过是个融合境,哪里收服得了诸多出神?只不过,他们依附着周家,不便脱离罢了.

But the stronger she is, the more worthy this ambush is to Courtyard leader Wen.

If not for Lu Mingshu’s secret techniques, why would he be on Zhou Miaoru’s side?

Even if Zhou Miaoru is in charge of the Zhous, how can a harmonization realm be able to convince such a large number of the spirit realm?

It’s just because they have to rely on the Zhous and it would be a good time for them to observe how Lu Mingshu fight too.

温掌院嘴边露出一丝不屑的笑.早年看周妙如行事,还挺靠谱,让她掌着周家也好,反正其他人谁也不服谁.这几年,她眼界不足的毛病越来越明显了.妹子不教好,女儿养废了,明知道丈夫不可靠,就指着儿子.也不想想,她儿子还需要几年才能独挡一面?中间出了差错,周家一旦倒了,那就扶不起来了.

Courtyard leader Wen snicked.

During the early days, Zhou Miaoru had done her job well.

But recently she has been making more and more mistake.

Not being able to teach her daughter and sister well, putting all her hopes on her son because her husband is unreliable…~Hey, how long would it take for your son to be powerful enough to carry the Zhous!

If something goes wrong before he grows up, than the Zhous would be a gone case!~   说到底是自私罢了.周茵如愚蠢,她这个当姐姐不好好教,反倒利用她的愚蠢指哪打哪.付明溪性子不好,还不是小时候太放纵了?但凡她多花一点心思,不至于不成器成那样.

~However, she is stupid or just selfish?

That’s a question many had in their mind.

Zhou Yinru is no doubt brainless, yet Zhou Miaoru did not bother to teach her while instead make use of her stupidity to get her aim.

Fu Mingxi is who she is today because Zhou Miaoru had spoiled her.

But if Zhou Miaoru have put more time on her, Fu Mingxi would be better.~  还有付尚清.成日埋怨付尚清狼子野心,靠着周家成事,却对周家离心.可她什么时候对付尚清交过心?近年甚至议事都不叫上他了.大家彼此彼此,谁能怨谁?

~As For Fu Shangqing, Zhou Miaoru does not trust him and called him ambitious, not even letting him come for meetings.

But she keeps complaining that Fu Shangqing does not trust her.

Well, trust is something that goes too ways!~  想起这些乌七八糟的事,温掌院眉头皱紧.他早就不耐烦了,若是能借着这个机会,弄到陆明舒手中的秘法,壮大自身实力,夺过掌事之权,定要好好整顿一番.要是能把付尚清整下台,那就更好了.这个掌门他当了十几年,没见干过什么正事,反倒被周妙如折腾掉不少元气.

Courtyard leader Wen shook his head and stop his thoughts from running wild.

Yes, he has been unhappy of Zhou Miaoru’s governance and have been hoping to get Lu Mingshu’s secret so he could get stronger and overthrow Zhou Miaoru.

~Best is that I could take Fu Shangqing down too.

I have been a courtyard leader for almost ten years, and I gain nothing other than high blood pressure thanks to Zhou Miaoru!~ [not literally]  不过,要小心祁志和,他可是只笑面虎,看着和和气气,挖坑埋起人来毫不留手.上次也就是没坑到陆明舒,若是换个人,被他坑了,还不觉得他有什么问题.

~Oh, and Qi Zhihe, the best example for a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

He seems to be harmless, but he is best at backstabbing people.

Lu Mingshu was just lucky that she did not fall for his trap.

If it was any other, they would not even realise that they were being backstab!~   短短的时间里,温掌院畅想了一番,踌躇满志起来.

Just within a few minutes, Courtyard leader Wen felt empowered.

他要是当了掌门,就把九瑶宫大力整顿一番,恢复往日生气.这么堕落下去,日后有什么面目去见历代祖师?

~If I became the sect leader, I’ll do my best to regain the pride of Nine Jade Palace.

How are we going to face our ancestors who did so much to build up this sect if we remain this way?~   正在畅想中,眼前光芒突然一灭,一道剑光,从中冲出.

Just as Courtyard leader was lost in his train of thoughts, a sword light flashed past him out of no where.

温掌院只来得及动了动手指,之前还在磁光余波包围下左冲右突的陆明舒,已在瞬间出了陷阱,对着某株大树,一剑斩落!

He could only managed to snap his fingers to create a protective shield before Lu Mingshu, who was still in the trap when he last saw her appear right in front of him and chop a tree into halve.

不好!

~Oh no!~  温掌院心里叫了一声,人影一闪,便要去救援.

Courtyard leader Wen immediately rushed over to render his help.

但是来不及了,他还未至,已听一声惨叫,树后倒下一个人去.

But he was too late.

Before he could reach, a blood curdling scream could be heard and half a body could be seen falling out from the back.

这是向长老,他的帮手之一.

Half a body of Elder Xiang.

His helper.

温掌院心中大恨:”臭丫头,纳命来!” This have successfully angered courtyard leader Wen, as he yelled at Lu Mingshu with hatred.

“Damn it you (censored).

Hand your life over as a price!”   陆明舒平静以对.

But Lu Mingshu just shrugged.

她迟迟没有出包围圈,并不是自己做不到,而是模拟需要更多的数据.磁光余波超过自身的境界,属性又不稳定,她需要多方验证,才能确保不出错.

All she could say is, she’s lucky.

She did not got out of the trap early because there’s too much lighting surrounding her, and Lu Mingshu needs more time to figure out her next time.

幸好,温掌院也不知道在想什么,竟然给了她这个时间,由着她多次试探,一点点将数据补全,最终抓住漏洞,发现其中一人的存在,一击得手!

But thankfully courtyard leader Wen is spacing out and forget to keep track on her, so she could try a numerous method and with the help of lady luck, she found the location of a helper.

温掌院直袭而来,陆明舒只看了一眼,便瞬间远退.

Facing courtyard leader Wen’s attack, Lu Mingshu retreated.

还不是时候.

~Not yet.~   对方挟恨而来,气势大涨,先冷一冷再说.

~The other party is extremely agitated right now.

Let him use up his energy and attack when he is tired.~   她再次没入磁光余波中.

She than jumped right back into the trap again.

温掌院不得不停了下来.没想到自己布下的陷阱,却成了她的护身符.这个陷阱,他自己都不敢踏进去,而她已经洞悉其中的隐秘,进退自如了.

Seeing the scene, courtyard leader Wen gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath.

His trap have now become her shield.

And even he did not dare to step inside the trap.

~It seems like she had familiarised with the trap and knows how to escape right now~  陆明舒身如鬼魅,轻巧跃起.

Lu Mingshu travel light and fast, like a feather.

挥洒开的剑光,与磁光几乎合为一体.

She slowly spread out her sword light, making them look the same as the magneto-optic lights.

刚开始温掌院还能找到她的方位,随着她深来越深入,磁光越来越密集,逐渐抓不到她的所在.

At the start, Courtyard leader could still locate her.

But as time pass by, the magneto-optic lights got more dense and slowly, Lu Mingshu could no longer be seen.

又是突然间,她身影突现,一剑刺出,目标正是他另一个帮手.

Out of sudden, Lu Mingshu jumped up, aiming for his other helper.

这一剑刚刚刺出,温掌院的身影就出现了.他看着陆明舒,脸上现出狰狞的笑:”你以为,就你会引蛇出洞吗?” But as soon as she fished out her sword, Courtyard leader wen used his sword to stop her actions.

He looked at Lu Mingshu, smiling thinly.

“Do you think you’re the only sneaky one here?”   陆明舒淡漠地看了他一眼,丝毫没有动摇,那一剑仍然直直地递了出去.

Lu Mingshu rolled her eyes and ignored him.

She turned to another direction and did another attempt.

这目中无人的态度,令温掌院大恨,还手便是一剑,直刺她的要害.

Her attitude makes courtyard leader wen blew his top.

~Arrogant uneducated child!~ He gritted his teeth and aimed for where her heart is located at.
