The Prodigies War
chapter-1060

Gou Yanzhen truly resembled the incarnation of an asura of hell. His blood-red hair began pulsating and amplifying the blood-colored aura he was surrounded with.

As he sped forward, many blurred asura and demon shadows emerged in the air one after another, unleashing blood-curdling roars.

All of a sudden, the world seemed to have been turned into a purgatory, where Gou Yanzhen was the ruler. Many spectators were chilled to the bone at the sight.

On the other hand, Lin Xun had an ethereal glow around him, and his Broken Blade was like a heaven-defying weapon, emitting a starlike brilliance that looked like waterfalls of stars rushing down the sky. Not only did he look fierce and domineering, but also invincible.

The two stood facing each other on the center battlefield, dazzling and striking terror into everyone’s heart.

“Say, if they continue to fight like this, who would win in the end?”

“Gou Yanzhen controls the power of the Black Nightmare Asura Grand Dao, which has frightening destructive power. His chances of winning are definitely greater.”

“The Broken Blade in Demon God Lin’s hand is a divine weapon. It is not only powerful but also unfathomable. Moreover, his mastery of the water dao has reached the Dao Truth level. Every blow of it is majestic and indestructible. In my opinion, he would be the one having the last laugh.”

“Actually, wouldn’t it be great if they were both severely wounded? Gou Yanzhen is loathsome, and isn’t it the same with Demon God Lin?”

The spectators broke into discussions, each sharing their opinion.

Boom!

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Gou Yanzhen’s eyes were scarlet red. After exchanging another earth shaking blow with Lin Xun, he couldn’t help smiling coldly. “Lin Xun, at this point, do you still plan to hide your trump cards? Bring out everything you have, don’t let me look down on you!”

As he was speaking, a long, blood-colored whip appeared in the grip of his left hand. It was distinctly divided into seventy-two sections like a spine, and with a light flick, shadows of the whip rippled into the sky, forming several phantoms of asura and demons to kill Lin Xun.

Asura Whip!

Suddenly, Gou Yanzhen’s combat power skyrocketed again. Wielding a blade in one hand and a whip in the other, his flurry of attacks was as violent as a storm, coming at Lin Xun from every direction. Many Little Giants’ expressions changed slightly as they watched on.

Lin Xun also felt the pressure.

Compared to Qing Wenjun, Gou Yanzhen was much more tyrannical.

This was not because his combat strength was greater than Gou Yanzhen, but because the Black Nightmare Asura Grand Dao that he had mastered was a special grand dao, one of the ninety-nine grand daos on the Reaching Heaven Dao List.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Broken Blade flashed across the air like light, rapidly dispelling the opponent’s attack, but Lin Xun was blasted more than ten feet away.

The spectators all gasped out loud, surprised to see that Gou Yanzhen was so ferocious. Even Demon God Lin seemed to be suppressed under his bombardment.

However, Lin Xun’s expression was calm as always, with an inexplicable coldness flickering across his black eyes as he snorted, “To deal with a son of a bitch like you, the Broken Blade is more than enough!”

Boom!

The two clashed once again on the battlefield. The sky dimmed, and the surroundings were obscured by blood-coloured mist with all sorts of phantoms looming within it.

At this point in the battle, they were competing with their foundation of the Supreme Path!

Such foundation had little to do with one’s cultivation, but more about one’s mastery of grand dao powers, the dao arts they had grasped and their combat experience and knowledge.

In terms of the great dao foundation, Gou Yanzhen was undoubtedly more dazzling than Lin Xun. Armed with a blade and whip, he was like an asura of hell conquering the nine heavens and land, possessing unimaginable destructive power.

On the other hand, Lin Xun only fought with the Broken Blade from the beginning to the end. He might appear fierce and domineering, but his fighting means seemed too unvaried.

Of course, this was only based on appearance. No one would foolishly believe that was all that Lin Xun had.

Clang!

Following another collision, an ancient blood-colored rune emerged from Gou Yanzhen, exuding a terrifying divine power, and fused with the blood-colored blade in his hand.

Within seconds, dozens of asura battle spirits rushed out of the blade, all well-armed with weapons and armor. Their fiendish qi instantly flooded the sky and earth.

It was a type of killing move, a secret taboo power of the Asura Transformation Blood Scripture. It was said that in the hands of a true asura, it had the power to make all ghosts and demons despair!

“Lin Xun, let’s see if you can block this blow!” Gou Yanzhen laughed, his blood-colored hair whipping around his face. His bearing was like that of a great asura darting through purgatory.

“Didn’t you want to see my trump cards? Let me fulfill your wish!”

A cold light flashed in Lin Xun’s black eyes and Broken Blade charged into the sky with a buzz, obscure dao runes flickering around its surface.

Instantly, everyone felt a stinging pain in their eyes as if a bolt of lightning was tearing apart the void and blinding everyone with its magnificent light. No one dared to look at it directly.

Chi!

It tore open a rift above the battlefield and then the world fell into silence. All sounds, all things, all movements…everything seemed to have stilled.

Only a flash of blade light interrupted the silence.

Silent Emptiness Slash!

Now that the battle had reached this point, Lin Xun finally activated the fourth slash of the Heavenly Yuan Six Slashes!

Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!

The dozens of asura-like warriors rushing over were severed in the blink of an eye, their bodies exploding in a shower of light with an ear-splitting boom.

“What a powerful blade slash!” Many people were astounded by the power of that blow.

Huh?

Gou Yanzhen narrowed his scarlet eyes and burst into laughter. “Is that your strongest move? It’s nothing special!”

He walked with the firm strides of a dragon and tiger as he darted forward without any wavering. He glowed a blood-like hue and then with a long howl, he launched into another fierce attack.

Before this, he was slightly apprehensive of Lin Xun because he couldn’t figure out the depths of his trump cards.

But now, he had a good idea about Lin Xun’s foundation, which more or less dispelled the trace of fear within his heart. He integrated the power of the Black Nightmare Asura Grand Dao with the profound secrets of the Asura Transformation Blood Scripture and activated the combined power to its fullest.

His aura grew stronger and stronger!

They had already exchanged over five hundred moves, and it was time to decide the winner!

Gou Yanzhen’s scarlet eyes swirled with infinite murderous intent. He had long been waiting for this moment.

Lin Xun stood motionless, his eyes dark and unfathomable, only the rushing figure of Gou Yanzhen was reflected within them.

He drew his hand across the air.

Shua!

Instantly, a gush of bright light rushed out from the Broken Blade.

This slash, which represented life and death, was illusory as nothing, as fast as lightning, and full of unimaginable destructive power.

So fast!

It seemed to be breaking the shackles of time and space, piercing the fetters of heaven and earth.

When the slash appeared, the majority of people outside the battlefield failed to react.

Even Gou Yanzhen only noticed it when the blade slash was nearing him. His hair stood on end, and his scalp almost exploded in shock.

Almost instinctively, he defended.

Unfortunately, it was still a step too late. With a pff, he flew upside down into the air, his left arm severed from his body.

A perfectly straight wound was left in his chest, his bones were exposed, and scarlet blood was trickling out from the gaping wound.

With a thud, he slammed to the ground, and he screamed in agony.

The audience fell utterly silent and still. Everyone’s eyes were almost bulging out of their skulls with an expression of shock beyond belief.

So fast!

Seconds before this, Gou Yanzhen had already gained the upper hand and was launching attacks as fierce and violent as a raging inferno. He looked like an asura patrolling the world, attracting the attention of everyone.

But in the blink of an eye, he had been seriously wounded instead!

Many people couldn’t believe it and rubbed their eyes repeatedly.

But more people were stricken to the heart. If they failed to capture the movements of that slash just now then it proved that the attack had happened at an unimaginably fast speed!

Additionally, Gou Yanzhen was seriously wounded under that blow, which meant that it was not only fast, but also had terrifying destructive power!

It was the Birth Destruction Slash.

One snap of the fingers was sixty moments, and one moment was nine hundred births and deaths.

Birth Destruction Slash was derived from the wonderful truth of momentary birth and death. Birth and death could be decided in an instant.

Its speed, fierceness, and destructive power were unmatched. It was undoubtedly the strongest attack of the Heavenly Yuan Six Slashes that Lin Xun had mastered so far.

Lin Xun had not truly used this move ever since he grasped it. Now, he tested it for the first time on Gou Yanzhen.

Of course, Lin Xun still reserved some strength.

Otherwise, if he had combined the power of Yazi’s Rage, Sacred Combat Art and Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer into that slash, the power would be far more astonishing than what the audience saw!

Even so, Gou Yanzhen was badly wounded.

“How is it possible!?” Gou Yanzhen was as frightened as he was angry. His face was deathly pale, his breathing was labored, and he was on his hands and knees on the ground, struggling to get up.

He might not look terribly wounded on the outside, but the power of that slash was so fierce that it penetrated his body and caused havoc, causing a far more serious injury than it appeared on the surface.

This was what he was truly frightened about.

This slash—what sort of power is that?

How could it be so terrifying?

How would Lin Xun give Gou Yanzhen a chance to breathe? He charged towards him and followed up with another attack.

However, as Gou Yanzhen unleashed a sinister and malicious roar of laughter, blood-colored light frantically circulated around and an extremely dangerous aura surrounded him.

Huh?

Lin Xun’s pupils shrank, and his figure froze for a moment before he crazily sped backwards, activating the Broken Blade with all his strength to defend.

“Even if I lose, I will bring you down with me!” Gou Yanzhen roared in fury, and he exploded under horrified gazes like a volcano erupting after countless years of dormant activity.

Blood-colored lights uncontrollably beamed across the battlefield, causing the world to rumble and quake.

So terrifying! Gou Yanzhen activated some kind of taboo technique to self-explode!

Who would have thought that?

However, it was a ruthless move because due to the prohibition of the Immortal Sacred Mountain, even if he self-destructed, he wouldn’t lose his life.

Yet, it was enough to strike a fatal blow at Lin Xun!

Whether it was the spectators at the foot of the mountain or the Little Giants atop the mountain, they all lost their composure. This battle had been so dangerous and tense that even people watching from afar felt their spirits shaking restlessly.

In particular, when Gou Yanzhen activated his final self-destruction, the Little Giants were all terror-stricken and gasped out loud.

Many people secretly rejoiced at the fact that they did not have to face Gou Yanzhen. Otherwise, there could be unimaginable consequences for them!

“Is Demon God Lin still alive?”

Amidst the shocking atmosphere, many people fixed their gaze on the Luck Battlefield, where blood-colored light was still shooting outwards, filled with a destructive aura.

“It’s likely over for him…”

Jin Muyun, Li Qingping and Yu Lingkong gloated.

Gou Yanzhen was a top figure among the supreme cultivators, so how would the power of his self-destruction be deflected so easily?
