The Prodigies War
chapter-1262

Lin Xun’s eyes then quietly grew dark and cold.

A murderous intent seethed in his heart and was about to become uncontainable.

Boom!

As he operated the power of Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer, a large abyss emerged and engulfed everything around, shattering the twenty-four Buddha illusions!

Amidst the rain of light, a startled yelp rang out.

A black-clad monk with a shiny forehead and extremely handsome appearance was seen standing in the distant sky.

Between his brows was a black Buddhist symbol in the shape of a lotus flower. Behind his head floated a black Buddhist halo, exuding a sense of purity and holiness.

Ancient Buddha Son!

Lin Xun was unable to control his killing intent. His face became unusually calm as he said, “Bald arse, we meet again.”

“Such is fate. You are a heretic and this monk is tasked with the mission of eradicating heretics, so it is not an accident that we are able to meet again.” Ancient Buddha Son put his palms together in a Namaskara gesture with a solemn expression.

“Heh, a heretic? I think you are the heretic here. Aren’t you ashamed to do such despicable things to me when you are the heir of the Earth Treasury Temple?” Lin Xun laughed mockingly.

He really didn’t think that this guy would be so shameless and underhanded, calling two despicable ambushes as ‘fate.’ What bullshit!

“If that means I can eradicate you, then I won’t hesitate to do so even if it sends me to hell.” Ancient Buddha Son remained indifferent and composed.

“Then I will send you to hell!” With a loud shout, Lin Xun charged out, shrouded in dao glow.

If it hadn’t been because of this bald bastard’s sneak attack last time, then how could he have been trapped under the Underworld River for four years, almost unable to get out?

And this time, how could Underworld Son have escaped if it hadn’t been for his obstruction?

Lin Xun was too lazy to reason with the guy as his killing intent was already like molten lava bursting out of control!

Buzz!

A black earth bowl flew up, while the Fearless Demon-Subduing Pestle appeared in the hand of Ancient Buddha Son as he bolted through the air.

In that instant, he had the presence of a real Buddha with the courage to face an army without faltering!

Rumble~

Amidst the intense collision, Lin Xun stumbled and staggered back a few steps, his face getting paler and paler.

Ancient Buddha Son smiled faintly. “The previous battle between you and Underworld Son left you injured and overly consumed. I’m afraid that you can’t escape this time.”

As he spoke, the pestle swept horizontally and swept up thousands of Buddhist lights. Buddhist chanting started echoing with the power of cleansing and suppressing everything.

Meanwhile, the black bowl was glowing eerily. Every time it fell, it poured out endless Buddhist texts that processed even air.

The monk might have looked honest, but once he struck, every move was horrifyingly ruthless and deadly!

Whoosh!

Lin Xun’s figure suddenly flashed as he raced toward Kongzhe Mountain.

“Aren’t you the Demon God Lin? Fleeing without putting up a fight like that will damage your reputation.” Ancient Buddha Son’s lips curled up. At his feet, a twenty-fourth-grade lotus seat appeared with a hazy black glow.

The lotus seat glided through the air, carrying Ancient Buddha Son toward Lin Xun at an astonishing speed.

Boom!

The black bowl was even faster as its flowing black Buddhist texts transformed into a Wei Tuo illusion and punched out. The impact caused Lin Xun to stagger and blood to seep out from his lips.

Ancient Buddha Son had been right that Lin Xun had been injured and consumed after the previous fight with Underworld Son.

However, he was not powerless!

His eyes were unusually calm as he continued to fly away without a word.

“What a pity that the powerful Demon God Lin is the biggest heretic in the world. This humble monk is willing to subdue and wipe out the devil today and give the world the clear sky that it deserves!”

Ancient Buddha Son’s voice was toneless, his appearance dignified. He looked like his victory was already certain.

He was indeed very calm. He hadn’t even been surprised when his previous sneak attack had been neutralized by Lin Xun.

If Demon God Lin was so easy to kill, then he would have died four years ago.

However, Ancient Buddha Son still had absolute confidence in killing Lin Xun this time because as far as he could tell, the latter was currently at his weakest. This was a once-in-a-lifetime perfect opportunity, and once he seized it, he would be able to send Lin Xun to his eternal peace!

Boom!

Shortly after, Lin Xun took another blow. The pestle smashed him and nearly shattered his bones.

“Heretic, if you turn yourself in right now, this humble monk will organize a grand transcendence ritual for you, so that even in your death, you can still look good and go to the other side with a smile,” Ancient Buddha Son’s voice echoed like Buddhist chanting.

“Cut the crap, baldy! Don’t think I don’t know what you actually want. You want my Great Treasury Silent Scripture and the Bodhi wood, don’t you? I have them with me right now. Come and get them if you have the guts!” shouted Lin Xun.

“Stubborn fool!” Ancient Buddha Son roared, “The Buddha says even compassion cannot save someone who doesn’t want to be saved. Today, this monk shall extinguish your soul!”

Gradually, Kongzhe Mountain appeared in view.

The earlier chaos had long since ceased. Under the strikes of Luo Jia, Yue Jianming, and a group of Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms cultivators such as Ji Xingyao and Mo Tianhe, the Underworld forces had been routed right from the very start of the battle and fled wildly.

It wasn’t that they were weak; they had just realized that the tide had turned!

The chances that Underworld Son would survive was very slim. Who would be willing to risk their lives for him in that case?

Therefore, the rabble of the Underworld army had dispersed in the shocked eyes of everyone.

The farce caught them between laughter and tears!

But when they saw Lin Xun being chased by Ancient Buddha Son, the calm atmosphere in the area was once again stirred.

Many faces changed colors and shocked voices rang out.

“Ancient Buddha Son!”

“He’s actually appeared once again to kill Demon God Lin!”

The entire crowd gawked.

Everyone knew that four years ago above the Underworld River, Lin Xun had fallen prey to the elaborate plan of Ancient Buddha Son and fell into the river.

That had been when the reputation of Ancient Buddha Son skyrocketed. He had been regarded as an apex giant who had used Demon God Lin’s corpse as his stepping stone, gathering the attention of the entire Upper Nine Realms.

The strange thing was that Ancient Buddha Son had vanished right after. It was as if he had evaporated from the world as no one had been able to trace him or find his location.

However, when the news of Lin Xun still alive had spread, many had speculated that sooner or later, he would find Ancient Buddha Son to take revenge.

No one had expected that the man in question had emerged today, right after the world-shattering duel between Lin Xun and Underworld Son!

On top of that, Lin Xun was in danger!

“What a black-hearted monk. Last time, his ambush took Demon God Lin by surprise, and this time, he picked an even more precise moment to do that. How can Demon God Lin fight him when he is so injured and tired?”

“Fishing in troubled waters, this disciple of the Earth Treasury Temple is really insidious.”

“Lin Xun is finished…”

The chatter didn’t cease.

Anyone could see that Lin Xun was fleeing for his life, too weak to fight Ancient Buddha Son!

The expressions of Yue Jianming, Xiao Qinghe, Luo Jia, Ji Xingyao, Mo Tianhe drastically changed at this scene.

Lin Xun had clearly just gone after Underworld Son, but now was being pursued by Ancient Buddha Son to the point where he was about to collapse!

Their hearts churned violently.

But just as they were about to step in to help, Lin Xun suddenly stopped in the air and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, this is between me and the Earth Treasury Temple. I hope that you won’t intervene!”

When the Little Golden Winged Dapeng King and those like him who had no intention to help heard this, they actually gained admiration and respect for Lin Xun. What a prideful man he was for not asking for help despite the calamity he was in.

On the other hand, Yue Jianming’s group was hesitant because Lin Xun was drenched in blood, his face was terribly pale, and he was obviously heavily injured.

Why did he stop them from helping?

Was he worried that they would be caught up in the feud with the Earth Treasury Temple?

“You actually are doing a good thing before you die and are not getting innocent people involved. Now they won’t have to accompany you in death,” said Ancient Buddha Son with extreme cool and conceit. He simply wasn’t scared even if the others decided to help Lin Xun.

All eyes instantly gathered on the two.

Many people inwardly lamented. They didn’t think Lin Xun would be so unlucky to be targeted by Ancient Buddha Son again after just resolving the threat of Underworld Son and his force.

The crowd wasn’t stupid. They had all realized that Ancient Buddha Son had planned this for a long time, waiting for Lin Xun’s decline to take his life!

“Baldy, before our final duel, is it possible to tell me where that big black bird is?” Lin Xun looked calm.

“You are soon a dead man, so why should you be concerned about someone else?” said the Ancient Buddha indifferently. “Heretic, receive your death!”

Boom!

The moment his voice fell, Buddhist treasures swept out from his sleeve robe one after another: a wooden ruler, a wooden bell, an incense burner, a green lamp, a Ruyi scepter, a praying mat…

Their light shone brightly in the air and abruptly drew an array.

The onlookers were creeped out.

Their fields of vision had been blinded with an aura that connected the sky and earth and reflected countless Buddha and Arhat illusions. Their overwhelming momentum scared everything into retreating.

Waves of Buddha chanting resounded and resonated, cleansing all sentient beings.

In the sky, phenomena of a heavenly flower golden lotus, coiling dragon, dancing divine luan, and kneeling worshippers manifested.

Just this kind of phenomenon alone already caused many top cultivators to pale and feel a strong sense of threat.

Boom, boom, boom!

Yue Jianming, Ji Xingyao, and the others didn’t hesitate to spring into action. Even though Lin Xun had told them not to, how could they possibly stand by and watch him suffer?

But to their horror, the great array of Buddhist light didn’t budge no matter how hard they attacked, and the energy waves it returned caused their inside to churn, and they wanted to cough up blood!

Seeing this, the crowd gasped. This…is a totally killing array!

It was no wonder that Ancient Buddha Son was so confident and fearless. Who could save Lin Xun when he was trapped in this array?

“Earth Treasury Great Transcension Forbidden Array!” exclaimed the Little Golden Winged Dapeng King softly. He looked emotional upon realizing what the array was, his golden eyes flickering.

This array was formed by eighteen ancient Buddhist treasures, each of which was imprinted with dense Buddhist texts. Once formed, it had the power to restrict an area and exterminate all evils within it!

This array had been famous as early as in the ancient era and drained colors from the faces of all cultivators.

In everyone’s eyes, for Lin Xun to be trapped in this array while being injured, his death was already certain!
