The Prodigies War
chapter-1197

Clang!

Mo Tianhe resisted with all of his might. However, the thirty-six ancient swords were ultimately blown away by the Broken Blade with a deafening clang.

Mo Tianhe hurriedly dodged in a panic and narrowly avoided the slash.

However, he still suffered serious injuries. His skin, flesh, and bones were in severe pain while his qi and blood churned uncontrollably, causing him to stagger and vomit a huge mouthful of blood.

The Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms experts were dumbfounded.

Previously, Mo Tianhe had resembled an arrogant and powerful sword sovereign.

Moments later, however, he was being beaten until he could no longer fight back. His hair was in a mess as he desperately tried to avoid attacks while coughing blood from time to time. It was almost as if he had become a completely different person.

"Is it still meaningless?"

Lin Xun closed in and executed a palm thrust, causing a Bi’an Stamp to emerge. With a solid thud, it sent Mo Tianhe flying into the air before crashing onto the Jinlan Mountain nearby.

He was entirely embedded into the rock in a rather strange posture.

The other Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms disciples shouted, "It’s not meaningless, it’s not meaningless, so stop fighting!"

They had realized that Mo Tianhe would only suffer more if this continued.

"Then let’s make it a little more meaningful."

Lin Xun smiled faintly and rushed forward as he spoke. He picked up Mo Tianhe by the ankle and slammed him back onto the ground as if he were a human sandbag.

Bang!

The ground cracked as Mo Tianhe’s handsome features intimately made contact with it, causing him to violently spasm in pain amidst an agonized scream.

His swollen and bruised face was now covered in dirt and blood, making him look extremely miserable.

"Lin Xun, you've gone too far!" Mo Tianhe hissed, nearly going crazy with anger.

"I’m going to bully you more, what can you do about it?"

Lin Xun jerked his wrist and violently shook Mo Tianhe. It left him foaming at the mouth and on the verge of losing consciousness due to dizziness.

The sound of several treasures falling onto the ground soon followed.

Plop!

Next, Mo Tianhe was tossed away as Lin Xun's gaze shifted to the treasures on the ground.

In the distance, the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms disciples gasped with shivering hearts. Demon God Lin was simply too brutal!

However, none of them dared to step forward and stop him.

If even Mo Tianhe wasn’t a match for him, why would they go looking for trouble?

"This storage bracelet is not bad." Lin Xun selected his prize, a plain emerald-green bracelet which he quickly stored away.

Upon seeing this, Mo Tianhe let out a heart-rending scream and desperately pounced at Lin Xun.

Because the storage bracelet contained all of his precious treasures and everything else he owned!

Thud!

Lin Xun sent him flying with a kick and said, "Don't make me kill you."

Mo Tianhe was first taken aback before his expression fluctuated indeterminately. In the end, a crestfallen look emerged.

He wasn't stupid and had only attacked in a fit of anger earlier. After returning to his senses, he realized that Lin Xun could have killed him earlier if he wished to.

However, the sight of his storage bracelet falling into Lin Xun's hands still made his heart ache and bleed.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun inwardly gasped. He was surprised to find two divine herbs in the storage bracelet that weren't the least bit inferior to the Star Catcher Fruit!

In addition, there were more than ten types of king-grade herbs and a huge amount of aeth resources that were very rare in the outside world. Their value was simply astronomical.

"I didn’t realize that he’s so rich."

Lin Xun stroked his chin as he contemplated whether he should kidnap Mo Tianhe and use him to extort a ransom from the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms’ territory.

Mo Tianhe's hair suddenly stood on end.

Why is he looking at me like that? Is he treating me as a cash cow?

How abominable!

As an ancient-era talent from Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms, he had always looked down on the current-era supreme heaven prides. However, he had been subdued and was now being treated as a fat goat to be slaughtered by one. It was extremely humiliating and nearly caused him to have a mental breakdown.

The Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms disciples also displayed uncertain expressions while feeling incredibly nervous. It could be said that at this juncture, their lives were all in the palm of Demon God Lin’s hands!

"How about this, I’ll let Mo Tianhe off if you guys give me one more divine herb and ten king-grade herbs." Lin Xun arrived at a decision.

Everyone was stunned before nearly coughing blood.

Does he think divine herbs were as common as cabbages in the market that anyone could obtain?

Even if they disregarded the divine herb, king-grade herbs weren’t easy to obtain either!

Lin Xun asked, "Could it be that you guys think that his life isn’t worth that much?"

Mo Tianhe was so angry that he nearly cracked his teeth. How could they be compared?!

A pleasant voice rang out, "Lin Xun, I acknowledge that our Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms was at fault first, and I will give you appropriate compensation like you have asked."

A beautiful figure walked out from Jinlan Mountain. She had curved eyes and brows, snow-white skin, and a pair of clear, limpid eyes with jet-black irises that looked as if they had been painted.

She was dressed in white, carried an ancient sword sheath on her back, and her sleeves fluttered as she walked, making her resemble a beautiful and picturesque sword fairy from the heavens.

Ji Xingyao!

She was the current-generation saintess of Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms, which was the number one sect in the West Infinity World.

Reuniting again after several years made Lin Xun feel a little dazed for a moment.

In the past, Ji Xingyao had preferred to wear a black dress and usually gave off an air of unconcealed arrogance. She was like the bright moon in the sky that everyone had to look up to.

At the present, her clothes were whiter than snow, and her long black hair fell behind her like a waterfall. She resembled a pure and untouchable fairy who exuded an ethereal aura.

Although there was no longer any trace of that glaring arrogance she used to have, she was even more impossible to ignore now. Such untouchable, otherworldly beauty would make many cultivators feel ashamed of themselves.

It was clear that while Lin Xun was evolving, Ji Xingyao was also rapidly advancing on her own path over the past few years.

When she appeared, the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms disciples secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

On the ground, Mo Tianhe’s expression stiffened. If Ji Xingyao saw him in such a miserable state...he would never be able to raise his head again in front of her!

Lin Xun curiously asked, "You were also on the mountain earlier. Why didn't you show yourself? Speaking of which, we can be considered old acquaintances. Although we can’t exactly say we’re friends, it isn’t nice to avoid each other, right?"

Ji Xingyao was visibly stunned.

Old acquaintances?

His words made her recall the first time she met him. He had just arrived in the Ancient Wasteland Domain and was quite unknown then.

Despite this, he had managed to fight her to a draw.

This was also the battle that made Ji Xingyao remember Lin Xun. After all, there was no way she would forget the first guy who touched her buttocks!

Although she met Lin Xun several more times after, none of the experiences were pleasant and often left her hating him.

However, she had focused on her cultivation for the past few years and was no longer as concerned with these past events. She originally believed that her temperament had changed and she was now different from before.

Who could have imagined that the phrase ‘old acquaintance’ from Lin Xun would slightly trigger her again, causing her to become annoyed despite the mental fortitude she had painstakingly honed?

Why was he still so shameless after reaching the Supreme King stage? Who the hell was his old acquaintance? If others were to hear this, they would likely think that there was something fishy going on between them!

Ji Xingyao took a deep breath and restrained her emotions. With clear and cold eyes, she asked, "Is that important?"

Lin Xun cheerfully chuckled. "It seems that you’ve finally let it go. That’s good, as the saying goes, it is better to let go of grudges than to make more. I’ve kept saying that it was a misunderstanding, but you refused to let it go and viewed me as a ruffian. All I did was accidentally..."

The sight of him rambling on and on and even about to bring up that shameful matter again infuriated Ji Xingyao. She couldn’t restrain herself any longer and scolded, "Shut up! You...why are you still so shameless?"

Her original ethereal and transcendent, fairy-like aura instantly disappeared, replaced by the sight of her glaring with almost vertical eyebrows and gnashed teeth.

It was a sight that all of the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms disciples had never witnessed before.

Moreover, there were many intriguing words in her conversation with Lin Xun such as old acquaintance, ruffian, misunderstanding...

It was impossible to keep from thinking that there was something going on between them.

Everyone, including Mo Tianhe, was bewildered. What was this situation?

Ji Xingyao was the current-generation saintess of Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms. She was pure as jade, possessed a peerless elegance, was adored and worshiped by countless people, and was viewed as an untouchable goddess.

The information that there was likely something going on between Ji Xingyao and Demon God Lin would definitely be sensational news that would make numerous people crazy!

Lin Xun was slightly startled. He softly sighed and said, "I guessed wrongly. It turns out that you still haven’t forgotten what happened in the past. Honestly, we were all very young back then, and it should be forgivable for us to make small mistakes. Come on, didn’t I spare these guys after knowing that they’re from Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms on account that we are acquaintances?"

These words made Mo Tianhe’s and the others’ expressions turn increasingly strange. Indeed, it didn’t make sense for Demon God Lin to show such mercy toward them!

From the explanation, he had clearly done so because of Ji Xingyao.

By inference, there must be some special relationship between them!

Everyone’s expressions turned complicated. After all, Ji Xingyao was someone they adored and respected.

To know that there was something going on between her and Demon God Lin made them feel bitter, envious, and a little depressed.

Ji Xingyao naturally didn’t know what they were thinking. If she did, she would probably go crazy with anger.

Even so, hearing Lin Xun's words still made her laugh in anger, ''Are you saying I have to be grateful to you?"

Lin Xun shook his head and acted generous as he waved his hand and said, ''I would never go so far. I only hope that you can understand my reason for doing so."

Ji Xingyao's eyes widened in frustration. Did he not realize how much he was ridiculing her?

Just as she was about to say something, she noticed Lin Xun's eyes focus as he abruptly raised his head and peered into the distance. "We shouldn’t stay here for long. Miss Ji, how about we change locations to chat?"

Ji XIngya angrily blurted out, "Dream on!"

To think that he still wanted to chat with her. Was he not afraid that she would lose control and attack him?
