The Prodigies War
chapter-1333

Zhao Jingxuan’s expression suddenly became calm. She coldly looked at Toady and A’lu. “Do you want me to tell Lin Xun about this?”

The two men instantly grew timid and fled with their tails between their legs.

Zhao Jingxuan’s lips curled up into a smug arc. You scalawags think I’m helpless against you? As they say, there’s always a higher mountain. Your big brother just has to be the devil to subdue you two little imps.

Meanwhile, there was a wave of lamentations in the area as the Saint’s Guide still hadn’t appeared. Can it be that this thing just doesn’t exist?

On the battlefield, Lin Xun still hadn’t decided whether he should stay or leave when a golden figure suddenly jumped in.

“Brother Lin, this is a good occasion. Let’s spar!”

It was Little Golden Winged Dapeng King. A golden light streamed through his eyes, and his aura was intimidating.

There was an uproar in the audience as this took them by surprise. What’s going on? First it was Fairy Ruowu, then Little Golden Winged Dapeng King. Something’s not right.

Someone sighed, “That’s a true apex giant for you, someone with an invincible heart. No matter if he wins or loses, his courage is commendable, and his strength is not to be underestimated!”

Many cultivators had actually realized what was going on. Be it Fairy Ruowu or Little Golden Winged Dapeng King, what they wanted was not the Saint’s Guide, but to use this opportunity to have a fair duel with Lin Xun!

This was the mentality of a true powerful expert.

Regardless of victory or defeat, they dared to go on stage to fight the invincible. Such a state of mind and bravery was already unattainable for the average cultivator.

“Since you’re already here, how can I not accept your challenge?” said Lin Xun with a big smile.

So far in his cultivation, the battles he had experienced had been all bloody and vicious. He rarely had the opportunity to fight with a strong expert of his generation in a fair battle where one sought neither victory nor defeat and was able to fight to their heart’s content.

This feeling also made Lin Xun’s blood boil with a fighting spirit!

Swish!

In a flicker, Little Golden Winged Dapeng King swiftly transformed into his true bird form, whose feathers emitted clanging noises like that of divine swords as they ruffled against each other. His wings were streaming with golden dao luster and were as sharp as a pair of sky-splitting blades. When they flapped, the void around was ripped apart in a resounding crackle.

His power was monstrous!

Rumor had it that the Golden Winged Dapeng captured dragons for food, and its ferocious nature was unmatched in the world. The lineage’s innate talent was so powerful that it had been notorious since ancient times.

Such a terrifying creature was the true pride of heaven, possessing extraordinary aptitude and power since birth.

“Lin Xun, my Golden Winged Dapeng Lineage boasts extreme speed capable of capturing gods and tearing down demons, so watch out!” declared the bird in a cold and overbearing voice.

Then, his wings flapped, and what ensued was like teleportation as his speed was too fast.

Caught off guard, Lin Xun only heard a swish when a dazzling golden wing flashed at him. It was too late to dodge so he could only take it head-on.

A loud bang resounded as Lin Xun was forced to stagger back a few steps. On his arm was a long, bloody wound that had been torn open by the sharp wind blade.

The onlookers were horrified.

No one had expected that Little Golden Winged Dapeng King, who was ranked behind Fairy Ruowu on the Genius Gold Rankings, would be able to injure Demon God Lin in just one strike!

“Incredible speed!”

Many were especially shaken by his speed that could almost compare to teleportation which only Saints were capable of.

“Hahaha, I may be inferior to you in terms of fighting power, but when it comes to speed, you are inferior to me!” Little Golden Winged Dapeng King loudly laughed. In flight, he looked like a flickering golden arc as he left shadows everywhere in the huge battlefield.

Many cultivators tried to lock on his figure with their spirit sense, but to no avail!

He was too fast!

So fast that everyone felt dizzy and wanted to cough up blood.

Even Lin Xun had to admit that he was quite behind Little Golden Winged Dapeng King in terms of speed.

However, what if the opponent was too fast?

He could break through this with strength!

Lin Xun inhaled deeply, and with a boom, his aura abruptly climbed. He glowed as his energy started burning like a chaotic furnace.

Then, he blasted out thousands of fist qi in a row.

Each first qi was condensed and churning. They shot out in streaks that tore through the air in all directions.

Rumble~

The entire battlefield seemed to collapse bit by bit as each fist qi was like a savage dragon filling up a large area.

In an instant, all the shadows left by the Little Golden Winged Dapeng King burst like bubbles.

Bang!

A heavy sound resounded when a fist qi hit the real one. Little Golden Winged Dapeng King stumbled, revealing himself.

“You…” He was furious and once again launched himself at Lin Xun.

His wings were like heavenly blades with matchless sharpness, and his claws were a pair of killing weapons that could capture even dragons.

However, no matter what kind of attack he used, Lin Xun stood immovable while relentlessly blasting fist qi in all directions.

Hundreds of thousands of fist qi bombarded the whole battlefield, not only destroying all the attacks from Little Golden Winged Dapeng King, but also suppressing the other party to a corner.

In the eyes of the crowd, Lin Xun’s fist energy was like a storm raging in the ocean. No matter how fast Little Golden Winged Dapeng King was, he could only struggle and try not to fall down. From time to time he would be hit by one of the waves.

Bang bang bang!

In a series of heart-stopping collisions, everyone saw one fist mark after another appear on Little Golden Winged Dapeng King. Blood and golden feathers fell down in a messy manner.

Many exclaimed in shock, “This is what they mean when they say absolute strength can break through everything!”

Only Demon God Lin possessed such superlative battle power that could completely dominate Little Golden Winged Dapeng King.

It would simply be impossible for any other cultivator because Little Golden Winged Dapeng King was not only fast, but his strength was also equally astonishing. Therefore, it only went to show how terrifying Lin Xun was to be able to suppress him like this.

“Stop! No more fighting!” an exasperated cry rang out from Little Golden Winged Dapeng King.

And then, he flickered and returned to his human form. He was bruised and swollen all over, his eyes black and blue, and his hair disheveled. The sight was truly miserable.

All of these injuries were caused by Lin Xun’s fist power.

Lin Xun stopped and asked with a smile, “Why stop?”

Little Golden Winged Dapeng King was indignant. “This battlefield is ultimately limited in space, so I can’t utilize my speed technique to my advantage. You think you can suppress me like this if it were the outside world?”

Hearing this, the crowd gave it a little thought and agreed with him.

Indeed, with Little Golden Winged Dapeng King’s speed that could almost compare to teleportation, the whole world would be his stage, and he could move everywhere he wanted. Who would be able to even touch him then?

“Wrong. No matter how fast you are, you can’t win against absolute power. We can try again if you don’t believe me,” said Lin Xun casually.

“Then let’s do that!”

Little Golden Winged Dapeng King abruptly shot up while transforming into his bird form. His wings spread out and in a whoosh, he appeared among the clouds outside the battlefield.

“Come!” he shouted arrogantly.

“Damn! This fellow really asks for a beating when he has his ego up,” complained Toady.

“Don’t like it? Then come beat me up as well!” mocked Little Golden Winged Dapeng King.

Suddenly, there was a buzz as Lin Xun, still standing inside the battlefield, suddenly tapped his finger in the air.

Omni-Finger!

This was the third move of the Great Diffusion Void Breaker Finger, which contained the mystery of space. Although Lin Xun couldn’t comprehend its true essence yet, he could still utilize its power.

In that instant, high up in the sky where the smug Little Golden Winged Dapeng King was, a finger qi appeared out of thin air and viciously pressed down on him.

Bang!

He felt like he had been rammed by a mountain, which kept pressing and caused him to sink uncontrollably. No matter how hard he flapped his wings, he couldn’t fight against the momentum.

“This…” Little Golden Winged Dapeng King was shocked and furious.

Bang!

Another finger qi suddenly appeared and poked at the bird’s head. His vision immediately went black, and he choked on his breath. He let out a wretched scream before hitting the ground with a heavy thud, kicking up a cloud of dust. He then lay there, convulsing.

That was the power of Omni-Finger!

No matter where you were, it was impossible to escape once it locked on you!

The entire audience froze and gasped. What an incredible skill that simply disregards space. Such an art should only be grasped by Saints, but Demon God Lin was able to use it!

Toady laughed out loud. “Hahahaha, you all saw it, right? That fellow was asking to be beaten! What a masochist! I’ve never seen an eagle with such a weird taste!”

The expressions of the crowd grew strange.

Meanwhile, Little Golden Winged Dapeng King was so embarrassed and angry that he just wanted to bury himself. Just now, he had been flaunting and taunting, thinking that Lin Xun couldn’t be his opponent at all in terms of speed.

Who would have thought that Lin Xun hadn’t even left his spot. He only had to stretch out a finger to knock him down…

It was too embarrassing!

“Thank you for the good fight, Little Dapeng King.” Lin Xun cupped his fist with a smile.

“Humph!” snorted Little Golden Winged Dapeng King. Then, he looked toward Yuan Fatian.

Yuan Fatian was stunned, and then he realized that the fellow wanted him to challenge Lin Xun as well.

But the thing was…

He didn’t want to!

“Aren’t you my good bro, Monkey?” Little Golden Winged Dapeng King’s face sank.

With a bitter expression, Yuan Fatian bit the bullet and agreed.

“Brother Lin, I challenge you to a duel!” He jumped into the battlefield with a righteous expression. “I don’t care for the Saint’s Guide; I only want to put an end to the small friction between us.”

“Didn’t it already end long ago?” Lin Xun was dumbfounded.

“Monkey, you wanna have a drink with us again? Come, come! Let’s go another three thousand rounds! Whoever gets drunk is a coward!” Toady and A’lu made a ruckus.

Yuan Fatian’s lips twitched. He took a deep breath, wanting to say something.

But then, he seemed to suddenly notice something. He looked Lin Xun up and down before exclaiming with a drastic expression, “You…you’re actually refining your physical body? Aren’t you worried about the Taboo Dao Tribulation?!”

As soon as these words dropped, the entire area fell silent.

Everyone had already known that Lin Xun followed both the ways of spirit cultivation and qi refinement, but him stepping on the physical refinement path had been unheard of!

When one adopted all the three ways, they were bound to be punished by heaven.

Since ancient times, anyone who had done so, no matter how powerful they were, had been wiped out by the Taboo Dao Tribulation!

Even those like Imperial Son Shaohao and Fairy Ruowu were shocked by the news. Their eyes flickered as if they could hardly believe it.

How could a supreme character like Lin Xun not know about the horror of the Taboo Dao Tribulation? Why did he still do it?
