The Prodigies War
chapter-1314

Kongzhe Mountain.

Yun Qingbai was alone, surveying the famous blessed mountainous land, his brows wrinkled slightly.

He noticed that the mountain was under the protection of an extremely terrifying forbidden array.

“A masterpiece of a dao rune master...”

Yun Qingbai had also heard that, a few years ago, at this very place, Lin Xun effortlessly trapped the clone of Ancient Buddha Son with this very array!

A moment later—

Clang!

A sword cry reverberated across the sky.

For the first time, Yun Qingbai opened up the sword box on his back and drew a dull-looking sword that was two-feet-four-inches-long and three-fingers-wide.

“Slash!”

He spat out one word.

Then, the seemingly lackluster and unremarkable sword bloomed with a slash of brightness as though awakening from an eternal slumber.

The slash of blinding sword intent advanced headlong!

Boom!

Around Kongzhe Mountain, a complex dao rune forbidden array emerged.

This large-scale array had helped Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms deter and defend against many powerful enemies and averted many crises.

But under the power of that sword, the forbidden array suddenly let out an ear-piercing whine and like it was unable to bear the force.

In the end, the array exploded.

On the other side of the array, Ji Xingyao, Mo Tianhe and other successors of Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms turned ashen-faced.

No one expected a peerless figure such as Yun Qingbai to grace Kongzhe Mountain with his presence.

The power of his sword not only destroyed the forbidden array but also cut through the mountain defense array!

Clang!

Yun Qingbai raised his hand and the dull sword flashed back into the sword box on his back.

“That’s it. Ten days later, I’ll be waiting for Lin Xun on the Demon Slaying Platform in the Ultimate Realm. If he doesn’t come then, then I won’t be so polite anymore.”

After leaving those words, he turned around and left.

Everyone of Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms looked at each other in dismay. Their pale faces were filled with shocked disbelief.

On this day, Yun Qingbai appeared in the Mythic Fire Realm. Armed with nothing but one sword, he tore down the dao rune forbidden array set up by Lin Xun himself and humiliated the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms to the point that no one was able to lift their head.

In the end, he issued a challenge to Lin Xun on the Demon Slaying Platform ten days later.

When the news came out, it naturally caused a stir in the entire world!

……

“Yun Qingbai fought all the way across the Upper Nine Realms and crushed everyone connected to Lin Xun with invincible power. He is clearly making a show of power!”

“What sort of level has his strength reached? A few years ago, he was already number one on the Genius Gold Rankings. How strong has he become now?”

Countless people discussed enthusiastically.

Every area of the Upper Nine Realms was abuzz with discussions.

Back then, Yun Qingbai had dominated the top spot on the Genius Gold Rankings for many years, and no one could shake his position.

Even though he had not shown his face in years, his position on the Genius Gold Rankings had never fallen below the top ten.

Now, such a remarkable cultivator had reappeared in the world and displayed unparalleled power. Naturally, it was a great shock to anyone.

“Do you think Imperial Son Shaohao, Fairy Ruowu and the others currently at the top of the Genius Gold Rankings stand a chance against Yun Qingbai?”

No one could give a definite answer.

Everyone knew that the strength of someone like Yun Qingbai was unfathomable and impossible to speculate about.

“Demon Slaying Platform, haha, it’s over for Demon God Lin!”

Many people gloated.

Over the years, Lin Xun had been unstoppable. Countless people who were resentful of him cheered with excitement.

“It’s been so many days already, his friends have been defeated and humiliated one by one, but he has not been seen once. Could he be afraid?”

“Haha, Lin Xun is hiding on Flying Star Mountain under the guise of closed-door cultivation. In my opinion, he is aware of the reappearance of Yun Qingbai and is wetting his pants!”

“But no matter what, if he does not show up on the Demon Slaying Platform in ten days, Yun Qingbai will no longer be merciful.”

Many of Lin Xun’s opponents who had been trampled by him in the past were chatting unscrupulously, looking forward to the demon slaying event in ten days.

On the other hand, his friends felt their hearts weighing heavily.

After suffering a defeat at the hands of Yun Qingbai, they knew how terrifyingly strong he was. They could not tell whether Lin Xun could compete with Yun Qingbai.

Flying Star Mountain.

Xiao Qinghe, Yue Jianming, Xiao Cangtian, Ye Chen, Ji Xingyao...had all come thick and fast to see Lin Xun.

However, they were speechless to find that, during this coming storm, Lin Xun was still in closed-door cultivation, unaware of what was happening in the outside world.

But what baffled them the most was that Lin Xun was in closed-door cultivation not to improve his cultivation base, but to take a new path—physical training!

“Yun Qingbai has a death wish!”

After learning about the series of recent events, Toady, A’lu, and the big black bird were outraged.

“Everyone, don’t worry. As soon as my big brother comes out of closed-door cultivation, he will definitely kill Yun Qingbai right away to avenge you all!” Toady promised, his voice sonorous and loaded with murderous intent.

Ji Xingyao could not help asking, “More importantly, what do you think is Brother Lin’s chance of winning if he goes up against Yun Qingbai?” Ji Xingyao could not help asking.

Everyone else fixed their eyes on Toady and the other two, knowing that they should know Lin Xun’s strength best since they were always with him.

“It’s hard to say.”

Toady and the others pondered about the question seriously for a long while, but still shook their heads in the end.

The strength of characters like Lin Xun and Yun Qingbai could not be measured in the normal way.

“But we know that, all these years, big brother seeks nothing else but for a chance to kill Yun Qingbai. If he learns about Yun Qingbai’s reappearance, then he will definitely not avoid the battle!” A’lu reassured them unwaveringly.

Toady and the big black bird also nodded firmly.

Ji Xingyao, Xiao Qinghe, Yue Jianming, Ye Chen and Xiao Cangtian felt a lot more at ease.

They realized that Lin Xun had been waiting for this battle to come!

In the outside world, all eyes were focused on the Demon Slaying Platform in the Ultimate Realm.

“No, this is a rare battle that only happens once every thousands of years. Both Yun Qingbai and Lin Xun are outstanding figures whose martial skills have trumped their peers. No matter who wins or loses, the battle will cause a sensation in the world and have a far-reaching impact!”

Countless experts couldn’t sit still and set off one after another to the Ultimate Realm, hoping to witness the earthshaking battle with their own eyes.

Someone spotted Imperial Son Shaohao head towards the Ultimate Realm in a jeweled chariot, escorted by many people like stars surrounding the moon.

Someone saw Fairy Ruowu, a pure-blooded descendant of the Vermilion Bird Clan who was currently ranked second on the Genius Gold Rankings, come out of closed-door cultivation.

It seemed not only the ordinary cultivators, but also the fierce and powerful characters were curious about the upcoming battle.

This sparked a lot of commotion.

“Heavens, all the overlords on the Genius Golden Rankings have swarmed out, all racing to the Demon Slaying Platform!”

“One is an unrivaled swordsman and the other is a tyrannical demon god. Which one is weaker and which one is stronger?”

“It looks to me that Yun Qingbai has a higher chance of winning. After all, his power has long been indisputable.”

“Not necessarily. Lin Xun has been keeping a low profile in recent years, like a dragon hibernating in the abyss. But he has never lost once ever since he set foot into the Upper Nine Realms!”

“No matter what, this battle will determine everything.”

The entire Upper Nine Realms was buzzing like never before. The battle had drawn the attention of countless cultivators, and all eyes were on Lin Xun and Yun Qingbai.

“Has Lin Xun shown his face on Flying Star Mountain yet?”

Many people were curious.

“No, but he definitely can’t avoid this battle,” answered a cultivator who had been closely watching the movements on the mountain.

“Lin Xun is keeping his cool now, but he only has ten days. After ten days, let’s see if he will show up on the Demon Slaying Platform.”

“The Demon Slaying Platform is for slaying demons. Since Yun Qingbai chose that to be the battlefield it looks like he is determined to kill Demon God Lin!”

Amid spirited discussions, time flew by.

Three days later.

On Flying Star Mountain, Lin Xun, who was in closed-door cultivation, was met with an unexpected shocking change during his physical training.
