几乎在方林冲向白小纯所在之地的同时，九岛所在的地方，一样传出巨响，他的身影，如同魔神一样，缓缓升空。

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.

头发飞扬，全身有更为清晰的符文闪耀，那些符文不再是缠绕身体的链条，而是全部散开，环绕四周数十丈内外，这些符文都是黑色，阵阵泯灭绝生之力，不断地向着四周爆发开来，一股毁灭之意，在他的目中闪耀。

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.

气势比方林，还要强出一头！

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

“方林去杀白小纯，我来杀鬼牙，若不是与你一战耽搁了时间，我怎么会成为第四个筑基之人，我现在无法八次潮汐，鬼牙，杀了你后，吸收你的地脉之气，我或许还有成功的可能！”九岛仰天一吼，声音透出无尽的恨意，相比于白小纯，他更恨鬼牙，尤其是影响他失败的最后一击，就是因鬼牙的骤起。

“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.

至于宋缺，他一样恨，也没打算放过，可总要先选择一个，此刻他选择的，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.

身体一晃，他整个人散发出恐怖的筑基威压，直奔鬼牙所在之地，腾空而去。

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.

“九岛与方林，已没有资格追上我了，只有白小纯与鬼牙……不过这二人各有干扰，这就是我的机会！”眼看如此，宋缺心中松了口气，此刻全力运转第八层漩涡。

“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.

湖泊处，这里的湖水早就消失，形成了一个巨大的深坑，深坑下，白小纯挖出的洞府外，防护之光扭曲，四周上百三宗弟子，正在轰击，眼看这里的防护层，只剩下了不到一百层时，突然的，远处方林的身影，奔雷而来。

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，刹那临近，没有停顿，而是右手抬起时，他身后幻化出的天地炉鼎，猛的膨胀，向着防护光幕狠狠砸去。

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.

“给我碎！”

“Break!”

轰的一声巨响，使得四周上百人都震耳欲聋，骇然中退后，还有不少更是被震动喷出鲜血，看到了此刻筑基成功的方林。

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.

天地炉鼎之威，更是在这一刻惊艳绝伦，一击之下，上百层防护，全部崩溃开来，直接碎灭。

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.

“白小纯！”方林眼中杀机一闪，正要踏入白小纯的洞府，就在这一瞬，洞府内的白小纯，猛的抬头，眼中赤色弥漫。

“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！”在方林走来的刹那，白小纯将最后的六百多张符箓，全部开启。

“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.

砰砰之声瞬间传遍四周，六百多层防护，将方林阻挡在外。

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

“该死，居然还有符箓！！”方林皱起眉头，他刚刚筑基，还没有完全适应，短时间难以发挥全部战力。

“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，也都一个个睁大了眼，纷纷倒吸口气，被白小纯的财力，彻底震撼，他们清楚地知道符箓的价值，如今一计算，发现白小纯取出的符箓，居然超过了一千张，一个个立刻骇然。

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……他到底还有多少张符箓？”

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

“该死的，别人筑基时的守护，要么是阵法，要么是术法，可他这里，居然全部都是符箓！”

“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!”

“符箓再多，也没用，你休想八轮潮汐成功！”方林眼中精芒一闪，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.

巨响回荡，白小纯在洞府内，心中焦急，更有愤怒。

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，若没有方林还好，此刻方林筑基成功来战，那么这防护阻挡不了太久。

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.

“他刚刚筑基，应该还没有适应，这就是机会！”白小纯咬牙，强行让自己不理会外面的轰鸣，全身心的沉浸在加速体内漩涡的转动中。

“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.

他体内第八层漩涡，越来越快，随着外面的防护光幕一层层消失，随着方林的出手以及四周上百人的轰击，时间流逝，就在这防护只剩下了小半时，方林焦急起来，突然面色一变。

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!”

就在这时，白小纯体内的第八轮漩涡，猛的一顿。

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

第八轮潮汐……成功！

The Eighth Tide… was a success!

向着全身猛地冲击扩散，体内的七层灵海上，赫然出现了第八层灵海，同样在这一刻，苍穹上的第八轮漩涡平静，而第九轮漩涡，似要出现。

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.

“我的第九轮潮汐，将是……不死长生功！”白小纯神色露出疯狂，这一次他是拼了所有，此刻不死长生功运转，全身银光缭绕，更有淡淡的金光出现。

“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.

随着运转，苍穹上第九层潮汐漩涡，轰隆隆的……蓦然出现！

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

在出现的一瞬，他的双眼沉重，似无力支撑睁开，只能慢慢的闭上，全身上下，在这一瞬，好似爆发！

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!

整个陨剑世界，所有人，无论在做什么事情，都齐齐心神震动，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……真的出现了九次潮汐！”

“The Ninth Tide… had actually really appeared!”

“上一次出现，是八百年前，天啊……”

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

白小纯洞府外，方林瞪大眼，身体颤抖，眼中红光更多，他无法接受在自己七次潮汐下，有人能出现九次。

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.

正在轰击鬼牙所在之地的九岛，此刻也是身体猛的一颤，蓦然抬头，死死的盯着白小纯所在的方向，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.

“灵溪宗……九次潮汐，决不能让九次潮汐再次出现！”九岛立刻放弃了与鬼牙之间的私怨，蓦然疾驰，直奔白小纯所在之地。

“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.

与此同时，宋缺也呼吸急促，但目中却有盎然的战意，他的第八轮潮汐，因白小纯的第九轮潮汐，此刻已有崩溃的迹象，他神色露出果断，双手掐诀，狠狠一拍大地，轰的一声，在这片陨剑世界的内外，有九处区域，传出轻微的咔咔声，仿佛是透支这片世界，强行抽来一股地脉之气，以特殊的方法融入自身，终使得他的第八轮潮汐稳定下来。

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，感受到了九岛的远去，他神色内有些没落，更有不甘心，可他没有办法，他已经感受到了，自己本就摇摇欲坠的的第八轮潮汐，因这片世界出现了九次潮汐，已开始了崩溃。

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，在这一刻，在感受到了白小纯的第九次潮汐后，就彻彻底底的崩溃了。

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.

“一个没有爹娘教训，只会搞怪，丢人现眼的杂种，居然也能九次潮汐，这是天大的笑话！”上官天佑发出凄厉的笑声。

“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.

北寒烈苦涩，握紧了拳头，在白小纯的身上，他一次又一次的感受到了挫折，可他从来没有屈服与放弃，此刻一样如此，咬牙中，他欲超越白小纯的信念，更坚定。

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.

整个陨剑世界内所有人，在短暂的沉默之后，方林，九岛的声音，在这一刻，回荡四方。

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，决不允许再出现一个九次潮汐，你们知道该怎么办！”

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

“杀了白小纯，阻止九次潮汐，让地脉之气回归，玄溪宗，血溪宗，丹溪宗，你们此刻还不出手，更待何时！！”

“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!”

而宋缺的声音，一样在这一刻，阴冷的回荡。

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

“击杀，白小纯！”

“Kill Bai Xiaochun!”

甚至不需要这三人开口，这一刻，整个陨剑深渊内，所有没有展开筑基之人，都全部动了起来，从四面八方，冲向白小纯所在的地方，杀意盈天。

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.

“小纯，落陈家族，是你来保护我，这一次，我来保护你！”侯云飞笑了，笑的很开心，他三次潮汐已经结束，此刻毅然的放弃了自己展开了一半的第四次潮汐，让其枯萎，选择了立刻筑基。

“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.

他知道这一刻的白小纯，必将是众矢之的，也是最虚弱的时候，他要去……守护白小纯！

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!

“灵溪宗的弟子，我是侯云飞，我将结束自己的筑基，去为白小纯护法，有没有人和我一起！”侯云飞声音传出，身体在这一瞬结束潮汐。

“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.

短暂的沉默后，一个又一个灵溪宗弟子的声音，陆续的嘶吼而出。

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

“白师叔守护我进入这片世界，此刻我去护法！”

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

“白小纯虽顽劣，可我们是同门！”

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

“九次潮汐，我灵溪宗崛起的征兆，谁要杀白师叔，我绝不同意！”声音不断地传出时，此地绝大多数的灵溪宗弟子，都一个个咬牙冲出，一样向着白小纯所在之地赶去。

“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.

而艰难维持的鬼牙，他的第八轮潮汐，在这一刻，缓缓黯淡，潮汐失败，他沉默后，没有去理会白小纯那边的事情，他的选择……是去干扰宋缺，至于白小纯成功还是失败，与他无关。

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.

北寒烈低吼一声，这一刻他压下了对白小纯的怒，一样结束了潮汐，让自己的第五次潮汐枯萎，选择了立刻筑基，外出为白小纯护法。

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.

“我不是为了你，我是为了灵溪宗！”北寒烈吼声中冲出。

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

还有几个灵溪宗在潮汐的弟子，也都沉默中纷纷咬牙，结束潮汐而出。

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，整个灵溪宗，除了白小纯外，还在维持潮汐的……只有一个人，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!

他根本就没有理会外界，此刻红着眼，去维持自己脆弱的第五轮潮汐。

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.

厮杀，在众人去往白小纯所在之地的路上，就开始进行了，而在白小纯的洞府外，厮杀更为剧烈，灵溪宗弟子人数不多，只有几十人，而他们的敌人，却是上百之多。

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.

时间流逝，厮杀更为剧烈，在方林与九岛的围攻下，侯云飞已受伤极多，北寒烈一样如此，所有灵溪宗弟子，更是节节败退，白小纯的防护，同样在不断地减少，

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.

白小纯在洞府内，感受到外面的这一幕，他身体颤抖，想要去结束，可却发现在第九轮潮汐形成后，似不受自己控制，无法自行结束，甚至连身体都无法动弹，眼皮睁不开。

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.

毕竟，这是第九轮潮汐，这是地脉巅峰！

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

欲结束，只有三个办法，要么地脉巅峰成功，自行结束，要么就是等这陨剑世界内的地脉之气不够，枯萎结束，最后一个办法，就是有人在他的身边，将其灭杀。

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.

白小纯闭着的眼皮下，双眼赤红，他感受到同门为自己而拼，感受到他们的身影疲惫中鲜血的喷出，他的心中撕裂，传出咆哮，发出呐喊，他想要睁开眼睛，想要去结束潮汐，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.

“第九轮潮汐，成或失败，给我快点结束啊……啊……！！”白小纯心底的凄吼却传不出去，只有浑身在隐隐颤抖。

“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.
