幾乎在方林沖向白小純所在之地的同時，九島所在的地方，一樣傳出巨響，他的身影，如同魔神一樣，緩緩升空。

Practically at the same time that Fang Lin charged to where Bai Xiaochun was, a loud sound similarly resounded from the place where the Jiu Dao was. His silhouette was similar to that of a devil as he slowly rose into the sky.

頭髮飛揚，全身有更爲清晰的符文閃耀，那些符文不再是纏繞身體的鏈條，而是全部散開，環繞四周數十丈內外，這些符文都是黑色，陣陣泯滅絕生之力，不斷地向着四周爆發開來，一股毀滅之意，在他的目中閃耀。

With hair flying upwards, the clearer runes on his whole body were sparkling. Those runes were no longer chains that twisted around his body, rather, all of them completely dispersed and surrounded a region within tens of Zhang in his surroundings. These runes were black in colour and bursts of power that completely obliterated life continuously exploded out in the surroundings. A burst of intent to perish glinted in his eyes.

氣勢比方林，還要強出一頭！

His imposing manner was stronger than Fang Lin’s by a head!

“方林去殺白小純，我來殺鬼牙，若不是與你一戰耽擱了時間，我怎麼會成爲第四個築基之人，我現在無法八次潮汐，鬼牙，殺了你後，吸收你的地脈之氣，我或許還有成功的可能！”九島仰天一吼，聲音透出無盡的恨意，相比於白小純，他更恨鬼牙，尤其是影響他失敗的最後一擊，就是因鬼牙的驟起。

“Fang Lin, go and kill Bai Xiaochun. I am going to kill Gui Ya. If I had not been delayed for a period of time by battling you, how could I become the fourth person to achieve Foundation Establishment. I am not unable to breakthrough the Eighth Tide. Gui Ya, after I kill you and absorb your Earthen Pulse Qi, perhaps I still have the possibility to succeed!” Jiu Dao looked up at the sky and roared. His voice revealed his endless hatred. Compared to Bai Xiaochun, he hated Gui Ya even more. Especially since the thing that affected the failure of his last attack was due to Gui Ya’s sudden appearance.

至於宋缺，他一樣恨，也沒打算放過，可總要先選擇一個，此刻他選擇的，就是鬼牙。

As for Song Que, he similarly hated him and also did not have the intention to let him off. However, he had to first choose one and in this moment, the person he chose was Gui Ya.

身體一晃，他整個人散發出恐怖的築基威壓，直奔鬼牙所在之地，騰空而去。

With a sway of his body, his whole being emitted a fearful pressurising aura of a Foundation Establishment as he made a beeline for where Gui Ya was at, rising high into the sky as he left.

“九島與方林，已沒有資格追上我了，只有白小純與鬼牙……不過這二人各有干擾，這就是我的機會！”眼看如此，宋缺心中鬆了口氣，此刻全力運轉第八層漩渦。

“Jiu Dao and Fang Lin already do not have the right to chase up to me. Only Bai Xiaochun and Gui Ya… However, these two people each have their own interferences. This is my chance!” Seeing as matters were such, Song Que heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and started working on the Eight Vortex/Whirlpool layer with all his strength in this moment.

湖泊處，這裡的湖水早就消失，形成了一個巨大的深坑，深坑下，白小純挖出的洞府外，防護之光扭曲，四周上百三宗弟子，正在轟擊，眼看這裡的防護層，只剩下了不到一百層時，突然的，遠處方林的身影，奔雷而來。

At the lake, the water in the lake had already long since disappeared and taken the shape an enormous deep pit. Under the deep pit, protective light was distorting outside the cave dwelling that Bai Xiaochun had dug out. The hundreds of disciples from the disciples from the three sects who were in the surroundings were currently bombarding the protective light. Seeing that not even a hundred layers remained at the protective layer here, Fang Lin’s figure suddenly rushed over at a terrifying speed from afar.

速度之快，剎那臨近，沒有停頓，而是右手擡起時，他身後幻化出的天地爐鼎，猛的膨脹，向着防護光幕狠狠砸去。

With a quick speed, Fang Lin approached in the blink of an eye. He did not stop, rather when he raised his right hand, a Heaven and Earth Furnace Cauldron metamorphosed behind him. It suddenly expanded and ferociously pounded the protective light screen.

“給我碎！”

“Break!”

轟的一聲巨響，使得四周上百人都震耳欲聾，駭然中退後，還有不少更是被震動噴出鮮血，看到了此刻築基成功的方林。

A loud sound rumbled out, causing hundreds of people in the surroundings to go deaf. When they were retreating in shock, there were even many who spat out fresh blood due to the shock and even more so after seeing the current Fang Lin who had succeeded in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment level.

天地爐鼎之威，更是在這一刻驚豔絕倫，一擊之下，上百層防護，全部崩潰開來，直接碎滅。

The might of the Heaven and Earth Furnace Cauldron was even more stunning beyond compare in this moment. With one attack from the Heaven and Earth Furnace Cauldron, all of the hundreds of protective layers completely collapsed, immediately breaking into pieces.

“白小純！”方林眼中殺機一閃，正要踏入白小純的洞府，就在這一瞬，洞府內的白小純，猛的擡頭，眼中赤色瀰漫。

“Bai Xiaochun!” Murderous intent flashed in Fang Lin’s eyes. In this instant that he was just about to step into Bai Xiaochun’s cave dwelling, Bai Xiaochun who was in the cave dwelling suddenly raised his head and his eyes were completely red.

“方林！”在方林走來的剎那，白小純將最後的六百多張符籙，全部開啓。

“Fang Lin!” In the instant that Fang Lin walked over, Bai Xiaochun activated all of his last talismans that amounted to more than six hundred.

砰砰之聲瞬間傳遍四周，六百多層防護，將方林阻擋在外。

Banging sounds spread in all directions in a flash. More than six hundred layers of protective light screens blocked Fang Lin outside.

“該死，居然還有符籙！！”方林皺起眉頭，他剛剛築基，還沒有完全適應，短時間難以發揮全部戰力。

“Dammit, he actually still had talismans!” Fang Lin furrowed his brows. He had just reached the Foundation Establishment level and still had not completely adapted to it. As such, it was difficult for him to exhibit his full combating strength in a short period of time.

而四周其他三宗弟子，也都一個個睜大了眼，紛紛倒吸口氣，被白小純的財力，徹底震撼，他們清楚地知道符籙的價值，如今一計算，發現白小純取出的符籙，居然超過了一千張，一個個立刻駭然。

On the other hand, the disciples from the other three sects who were in the surroundings also widened their eyes in surprise, inhaling deeply. They were completely shocked by Bai Xiaochun’s financial resources. They clearly knew the value of the talismans. Counting them now, they realised that Bai Xiaochun had actually taken out more than a thousand talismans. Every single one of them were immediately amazed.

“他……他到底還有多少張符籙？”

“He… Exactly how many talismans does he still have?”

“該死的，別人築基時的守護，要麼是陣法，要麼是術法，可他這裡，居然全部都是符籙！”

“Dammit! Other people’s protection when they were at the Foundation Establishment Level were either Formation Arrays or Techniques. However, on his end, everything is unexpectedly talismans!”

“符籙再多，也沒用，你休想八輪潮汐成功！”方林眼中精芒一閃，再次出手。

“No matter how many more talismans you have, it is useless. Don’t think that your Eighth Tide will succeed!” A vital glow flashed in Fang Lin’s eyes and he attacked once more.

巨響迴盪，白小純在洞府內，心中焦急，更有憤怒。

Loud sounds resounded out and in his heart, Bai Xiaochun was not only anxious but even more so, he was angry as he sat inside the cave dwelling.

他知道，若沒有方林還好，此刻方林築基成功來戰，那麼這防護阻擋不了太久。

He knew that it would still be alright if Fang Lin was not there. In this moment, Fang Lin had came to battle him after succeeding in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Level. Therefore, this protective light screen could not obstruct him much longer.

“他剛剛築基，應該還沒有適應，這就是機會！”白小純咬牙，強行讓自己不理會外面的轟鳴，全身心的沉浸在加速體內漩渦的轉動中。

“He had just reached the Foundation Establishment level and should have not adapted to it yet. This is a chance!” Bai Xiaochun gritted his teeth and forced himself to ignore the rumbling outside, wholeheartedly immersing himself in quickening the rotation of the Whirlpool/Vortex inside his body.

他體內第八層漩渦，越來越快，隨着外面的防護光幕一層層消失，隨着方林的出手以及四周上百人的轟擊，時間流逝，就在這防護只剩下了小半時，方林焦急起來，突然面色一變。

The Eighth Whirlpool/Vortex layer in his body was getting faster and faster. Following the disappearance of the protective light screen outside; following Fang Lin’s attack as well as the bombarding of more than hundreds of people from all around, time pa.s.sed. When only very little of the protective light screen was remaining, Fang Lin was suddenly anxious and his complexion changed.

“不好！”

“Not good!”

就在這時，白小純體內的第八輪漩渦，猛的一頓。

It was in this moment that the Eighth Whirlpool/Vortex in Bai Xiaochun’s body abruptly stopped.

第八輪潮汐……成功！

The Eighth Tide… was a success!

向着全身猛地衝擊擴散，體內的七層靈海上，赫然出現了第八層靈海，同樣在這一刻，蒼穹上的第八輪漩渦平靜，而第九輪漩渦，似要出現。

The ferocious attack towards his whole body suddenly diffused and the eighth spirit sea layer impressively appeared above the seventh spirit sea layer in his body. In the same moment, the Eighth Whirlpool/Vortex above the Heavens was caln. On the other hand, it seemed as though the Ninth Whirlpool/Vortex was about to appear.

“我的第九輪潮汐，將是……不死長生功！”白小純神色露出瘋狂，這一次他是拼了所有，此刻不死長生功運轉，全身銀光繚繞，更有淡淡的金光出現。

“My Ninth Tide would be… Undying Longevity Technique!” The expression on Bai Xiaochun’s face revealed franticness. In this moment, he was staking everything. In this moment, he was operating the Undying Longevity Technique. Silver light was curled around his whole body and more faint golden light appeared.

隨着運轉，蒼穹上第九層潮汐漩渦，轟隆隆的……驀然出現！

Following the activation of the Undying Longevity Technique, the Whirlpool of the Ninth Tide that appeared in the Heavens suddenly… appeared in a rumble!

在出現的一瞬，他的雙眼沉重，似無力支撐睜開，只能慢慢的閉上，全身上下，在這一瞬，好似爆發！

In the instant that it appeared, both his eyes were heavy as if they had no power to support them open. He could only close them slowly as his whole body feeled as though it was exploding in this instant!

整個隕劍世界，所有人，無論在做什麼事情，都齊齊心神震動，全部目瞪口呆。

Regardless of what they were doing, the minds of everyone in the whole of the Meteoric Sword World simultaneously shuddered, completely dumbstruck.

“九次……潮汐……”

“The Ninth… Tide…”

“居然……真的出現了九次潮汐！”

“The Ninth Tide… had actually really appeared!”

“上一次出現，是八百年前，天啊……”

“The last time that it appeared was eight hundred years ago. My gosh…”

白小純洞府外，方林瞪大眼，身體顫抖，眼中紅光更多，他無法接受在自己七次潮汐下，有人能出現九次。

Fang Lin was staring with his eyes wide open, his body shuddering and there was even more red light in his eyes as he stood outside Bai Xiaochun’s cave dwelling. He was unable to accept the fact that there was someone who was able to make the Ninth Tide appear when he was at the Seventh Tide himself.

正在轟擊鬼牙所在之地的九島，此刻也是身體猛的一顫，驀然擡頭，死死的盯着白小純所在的方向，呼吸急促。

Jiu Dao who was currently bombarding attacks towards where Gui Ya was at also suddenly shook in this moment. He suddenly raised his head and stared unwaveringly at the direction where Bai Xiaochun was at with a sense of urgency in his breathing.

“靈溪宗……九次潮汐，決不能讓九次潮汐再次出現！”九島立刻放棄了與鬼牙之間的私怨，驀然疾馳，直奔白小純所在之地。

“Spirit Creek Sect… The Ninth Tide, we definitely cannot let the Ninth Tide appear once again!” Jiu Dao immediately gave up on his personal grudge with Gui Ya . He suddenly sped along, heading straight to where Bai Xiaochun was at.

與此同時，宋缺也呼吸急促，但目中卻有盎然的戰意，他的第八輪潮汐，因白小純的第九輪潮汐，此刻已有崩潰的跡象，他神色露出果斷，雙手掐訣，狠狠一拍大地，轟的一聲，在這片隕劍世界的內外，有九處區域，傳出輕微的咔咔聲，彷彿是透支這片世界，強行抽來一股地脈之氣，以特殊的方法融入自身，終使得他的第八輪潮汐穩定下來。

At the same time, Song Que’s breathing was also laboured, but the look in his eyes was overflowing with the intent to battle. His Eighth Tide also had indications of collapsing due to Bai Xiaochun’s Ninth Tide. He had a decisive expression on his face as he made a hand seal with both his hands, ferociously patting the ground. A rumble rang out and slight breaking sounds rang out from the nine areas/regions outside this Meteoric Sword World. It was as though he was piercing through this world and forcibly drawing out a burst of Earth Pulse Qi, using a special method to fuse it within his own body and to finally stabilise his Eighth Tide.

鬼牙沉默，感受到了九島的遠去，他神色內有些沒落，更有不甘心，可他沒有辦法，他已經感受到了，自己本就搖搖欲墜的的第八輪潮汐，因這片世界出現了九次潮汐，已開始了崩潰。

Gui Ya fell silent as he felt Jiu Dao heading far off. His expression waned slightly and even more so had a feeling of displeasure. However, he had no choice. He had already felt that his own Eighth Tide that was originally already on the very of collapsing had already started to collapse because a Ninth Tide had appeared in this world.

上官天佑此刻正在凝聚第五次潮汐，他的一切信心，一切傲然，在這一刻，在感受到了白小純的第九次潮汐後，就徹徹底底的崩潰了。

Shangguan Tianyou was currently condensing the Fifth Tide. All of his confidence and loftiness thoroughly collapsed in this moment after it felt Bai Xiaochun’s Ninth Tide.

“一個沒有爹孃教訓，只會搞怪，丟人現眼的雜種，居然也能九次潮汐，這是天大的笑話！”上官天佑發出淒厲的笑聲。

“A b.a.s.t.a.r.d that did not have parents to educate him and only knows how to be wacky, the kind that is a disgrace could actually also reach the Ninth Tide. This is a joke that is as big as the sky!” Shangguan Tianyou let out a mournful laughter.

北寒烈苦澀，握緊了拳頭，在白小純的身上，他一次又一次的感受到了挫折，可他從來沒有屈服與放棄，此刻一樣如此，咬牙中，他欲超越白小純的信念，更堅定。

Beihan Lie was bitter and astringent as he tightly clenched his fist. He felt defeated again and again from Bai Xiaochun, but he had never surrendered nor given up. It was the same now. As he gritted his teeth, his desire to surpa.s.s Bai Xiaochun was even more resolute.

整個隕劍世界內所有人，在短暫的沉默之後，方林，九島的聲音，在這一刻，迴盪四方。

After everyone in the whole of the Meteoric Sword World briefly fell silent, Fang Lin and Jiu Dao’s voice resounded all around in this moment.

“相信我三宗，決不允許再出現一個九次潮汐，你們知道該怎麼辦！”

“Three sects, believe me. I definitely would not allow another appearance of a Ninth Tide again. You guys know what to do!”

“殺了白小純，阻止九次潮汐，讓地脈之氣迴歸，玄溪宗，血溪宗，丹溪宗，你們此刻還不出手，更待何時！！”

“Kill Bai Xiaochun, prevent him from reaching the Ninth Tide and let the Earth Pulse Qi return. Mysterious Creek Sect, Blood Creek Sect and Pill Creek Sect, if you guys are still not going to take action now, how long more are you guys going to wait!”

而宋缺的聲音，一樣在這一刻，陰冷的迴盪。

Song Que’s voice, on the other hand, similarly echoed out coldly in this moment.

“擊殺，白小純！”

“Kill Bai Xiaochun!”

甚至不需要這三人開口，這一刻，整個隕劍深淵內，所有沒有展開築基之人，都全部動了起來，從四面八方，衝向白小純所在的地方，殺意盈天。

So much so that they did not need these three people to speak because in this moment, everyone in the Meteoric Sword Abyss who had not launched their Foundation Establishment were set in motion. They charged towards where Bai Xiaochun was at from all direction, filling the sky with killing intent.

“小純，落陳家族，是你來保護我，這一次，我來保護你！”侯雲飛笑了，笑的很開心，他三次潮汐已經結束，此刻毅然的放棄了自己展開了一半的第四次潮汐，讓其枯萎，選擇了立刻築基。

“Xiaochun, you protected me from the Luochen Clan. This time, I will protect you!” Hou Yunfei laughed very happily. His Third Tide had already ended. In this moment, he resolutely abandon his Fourth Tide that he had launched halfway, letting it wilt away as he chose to immediately achieve the Foundation Establishment Level.

他知道這一刻的白小純，必將是衆矢之的，也是最虛弱的時候，他要去……守護白小純！

He knew that in this moment, Bai Xiaochun was inevitably the target of a mult.i.tude of arrows and it was also his weakest moment. He was going to… protect Bai Xiaochun!

“靈溪宗的弟子，我是侯雲飛，我將結束自己的築基，去爲白小純護法，有沒有人和我一起！”侯雲飛聲音傳出，身體在這一瞬結束潮汐。

“Spirit Creek Sect disciples, I am Hou Yunfei. I am about to end my Foundation Establishment to protect Bai Xiaochun. Is there anyone who is going to follow me!” Hou Yunfei’s voice range out and in the twinkle of an eye, his body ended the Tide.

短暫的沉默後，一個又一個靈溪宗弟子的聲音，陸續的嘶吼而出。

After a brief moment of silence, the voices of disciples from the Spirit Creek Sect roared out one after the other.

“白師叔守護我進入這片世界，此刻我去護法！”

“Senior Uncle Bai protected me in entering this world. Now, I am going to protect him!”

“白小純雖頑劣，可我們是同門！”

“Even though Bai Xiaochun is naughty and mischievous, we still belong to the same sect!”

“九次潮汐，我靈溪宗崛起的徵兆，誰要殺白師叔，我絕不同意！”聲音不斷地傳出時，此地絕大多數的靈溪宗弟子，都一個個咬牙衝出，一樣向着白小純所在之地趕去。

“The Ninth Tide is an omen of my Spirit Creek Sect’s emergence. I will definitely disagree to whoever that wants to kill Senior Uncle Bai!” When the voices continuously rang out, the overwhelming majority of Spirit Creek Sect disciples there rushed out one after the other with gritted teeth, similarly rus.h.i.+ng over to the place where Bai Xiaochun was at.

而艱難維持的鬼牙，他的第八輪潮汐，在這一刻，緩緩黯淡，潮汐失敗，他沉默後，沒有去理會白小純那邊的事情，他的選擇……是去幹擾宋缺，至於白小純成功還是失敗，與他無關。

On the other hand, Gui Ya was holding on with much difficulty and in this moment, his Eight Tide slowly dimmed, signifying that his Tide failed. After he fell silent, he did not pay attention to the matter on Bai Xiaochun’s end. His decision… was to interfere with Song Que. As for whether Bai Xiaochuun succeeded or failed, it was of no relevance to him.

北寒烈低吼一聲，這一刻他壓下了對白小純的怒，一樣結束了潮汐，讓自己的第五次潮汐枯萎，選擇了立刻築基，外出爲白小純護法。

Beihan Lie let our a low roar. In this moment, he suppressed his anger towards Bai Xiaochun and similarly ended the Tide, letting his Fifth Tide wilt away. He chose to immediately achieve Foundation Establishment Level and head out to protect Bai Xiaochun.

“我不是爲了你，我是爲了靈溪宗！”北寒烈吼聲中衝出。

“I am not doing this because of you. I am doing this for the Spirit Creek Sect!” Beihan Lie rushed out amidst his roar.

還有幾個靈溪宗在潮汐的弟子，也都沉默中紛紛咬牙，結束潮汐而出。

There were still a few Spirit Creek Sect disciples who were in the middle of their Tides. They too were gritting their teeth in silence, rus.h.i.+ng out after their ending their Tides.

很快的，整個靈溪宗，除了白小純外，還在維持潮汐的……只有一個人，他是上官天佑！

Very quickly, other than Bai Xiaochun, there was still one more person in the whole of the Spirit Creek Sect who was still maintaining their Tide… He was Shangguan Tianyou!

他根本就沒有理會外界，此刻紅着眼，去維持自己脆弱的第五輪潮汐。

He practically did not pay attention to the outside world. In this moment, he was trying to maintain his weak Fifth Tide with reddened eyes.

廝殺，在衆人去往白小純所在之地的路上，就開始進行了，而在白小純的洞府外，廝殺更爲劇烈，靈溪宗弟子人數不多，只有幾十人，而他們的敵人，卻是上百之多。

Along the way when everyone was heading towards where Bai Xiaochun was at, close quarter combats had started going underway. Moreover, the close quarter combats happening outside of Bai Xiaochun’s cave dwelling was even more intense. There were not many Spirit Creek Sect disciples as there were only a few tens of people, yet their enemy was in the figures of more than hundreds.

時間流逝，廝殺更爲劇烈，在方林與九島的圍攻下，侯雲飛已受傷極多，北寒烈一樣如此，所有靈溪宗弟子，更是節節敗退，白小純的防護，同樣在不斷地減少，

Time pa.s.sed and the close quarter combats became even more violent. Under Fang Lin and Jiu Dao’s besiege, Hou Yunfei had already sustained many injuries. Beihan Lie’s condition was also the same. Furthermore, all of the Spirit Creek Sect disciples retreated in defeat little by little. Bai Xiaochun’s protection was similarly decreasing continuously.

白小純在洞府內，感受到外面的這一幕，他身體顫抖，想要去結束，可卻發現在第九輪潮汐形成後，似不受自己控制，無法自行結束，甚至連身體都無法動彈，眼皮睜不開。

Bai Xiaochun felt the scene that was happening outside in his cave dwelling. His body was trembling and he wanted to end it, however, he realised that after the Ninth Tide had formed, he seemed to be unable to control himself and was unable to to end things on his own. So much so that his body could not budge nor could he open his eyes.

畢竟，這是第九輪潮汐，這是地脈巔峰！

After all, this was the Ninth Tide. This was the Pinnacle of the Earthen Pulse!

欲結束，只有三個辦法，要麼地脈巔峰成功，自行結束，要麼就是等這隕劍世界內的地脈之氣不夠，枯萎結束，最後一個辦法，就是有人在他的身邊，將其滅殺。

There were only three ways to end it. Either the Pinnacle of the Earthen Pulse succeeded and it ended on its own or that he waited until the Earthen Pulse Qi in this Meteoric Sword World withered away due to insufficiency. The last method was for a person to be by his side and to exterminate him.

白小純閉着的眼皮下，雙眼赤紅，他感受到同門爲自己而拼，感受到他們的身影疲憊中鮮血的噴出，他的心中撕裂，傳出咆哮，發出吶喊，他想要睜開眼睛，想要去結束潮汐，可他做不到。

Under Bai Xiaochun’s closed eyelids, both his eyes were crimson red. He could feel his comrades from the same sect risking their lives for him. He could also feel the fresh blood spurting out from their exhausted figures. His heart was tearing apart and he snarled as he let out a shout. He wanted to open his eyes and wanted to end the Tide, however, he could not do so.

“第九輪潮汐，成或失敗，給我快點結束啊……啊……！！”白小純心底的悽吼卻傳不出去，只有渾身在隱隱顫抖。

“No matter whether I succeed or fail in the Ninth Tide, I want this to quickly end… Ah…!” The mournful howl that Bai Xiaochun let out from the bottom of his heart could not resound out, only his whole body was faintly trembling.
