The Prodigies War
chapter-1566

Lin Xun acknowledged his comment with a soft grunt and indifferently said, "I can see that you're very confident in your strength. However, do you really think that things will go as you predicted?"

While talking, he stepped forward.

With this single step, a terrifying aura spread from Lin Xun and engulfed the entire area.

Jian Qingchen's eyes flashed, appearing somewhat surprised.

When Lin Xun took his second step, Jian Qingchen couldn't help but narrow his eyes as his aura suddenly started to circulate with a rumble.

At present, Lin Xun was surrounded by a flowing dao radiance. Although he hadn't taken any other action, his aura felt as imposing as a towering mountain and as deep as a vast ocean. It was difficult to imagine how powerful it would become once it fully erupted.

Jian Qingchen realized this as well. His expression remained composed, but his clothes began to flutter as endless sword-will surged in his eyes.

He frowned and said, "The Flying Immortal Battle Realm will arrive in nine months. Are you sure you want to do this now?"

He had heard of Lin Xun's feats and had even specially investigated him. Hence, Jian Qingchen already knew that Lin Xun was a formidable enemy that should never be underestimated.

However, only when facing this enemy for real did Jian Qingchen discover that in terms of aura, Lin Xun wasn't the least bit inferior to any of the Azure Blue Eight Supremes.

Lin Xun took a third step as he answered, "Flying Immortal Battle Realm? That's a matter for the future. Right now this is between you and me."

Rumble!

The surrounding space shattered and collapsed like brittle glass as a dreadful Saint dao pressure spread outwards with Lin Xun at the epicenter.

"Hmph!"

Sharpness flashed in Jian Qingchen's eyes and he also took a step forward. His aura immediately changed, abruptly unleashing its originally contained power.

Clang!

A perfectly round sword world emerged behind his head. It was filled with countless streams of sword qi that surged like the tide, possessing astonishing power capable of chopping stars and cutting the universe itself!

A look of surprise appeared in Lin Xun's eyes.

There was no doubt that Jian Qingchen had similarly stepped past the threshold of creating his own art. Moreover, the sword dao he cultivated was fiercer and more domineering than Lin Xun had anticipated.

Boom!

The two distinctly different supreme Saint auras collided with each other like the sun and the moon vying for supremacy, producing a deafening noise.

The surrounding land abruptly collapsed, forming huge crevices that spread into the distance.

The nearby rocks and vegetation were pulverized to dust in an instant. From above, one would see that the terrain within a thousand mile radius was sinking and collapsing.

Lin Xun appeared as otherworldly as an immortal while his aura felt as intimidating as a demon god's.

On the other side, Jian Qingchen resembled a sheathed peerless sword that was only now revealing its sharpness and displayed the domineering demeanor of a supreme Sword Saint.

The clash between their auras alone was distorting the space between them!

With cold, black eyes, Lin Xun said, "I'll give you a chance. I'll spare you if you manage to remain undefeated after three moves."

"Lin Xun! How tricky of you!"

Jian Qingchen chuckled as his gaze seemed to pierce Lin Xun like a sharp sword. "If you fail to defeat me in three moves, you'll know that I am more than capable of disturbing the young lady's tribulation. When that happens, of course you'll be forced to take a different approach."

Soon after, he said, "However, I can agree to this three move duel. Since Xue Qingyi views you as a knife that can be used to weaken the other domains, why wouldn't I do the same?"

Lin Xun frostily replied, "View me as a knife? Aren't you afraid of hurting yourself?"

Jian Qingchen laughed out loud and said with emotion, "Do you know, if not for acknowledging your strength, I would have killed you the moment you appeared?

"However, it is also because of your extraordinary strength that I don't wish to fight you to the death at this time.

"If I die, while the Great Luo Camp will not fall apart, it will become almost impossible for them to compete with the other domains.

"If you die, the Ancient Wasteland Camp will be left leaderless and will no longer pose any threat to the other eight domains.

"Since neither of us would wish to see either result, why should we give such a freebie advantage to the other domains?"

At this point, Jian Qingchen thought for a moment before he said, "In short, all eight domains should act together if we wish to deal with you, do you understand?"

Lin Xun mockingly said, "You don't have to talk so much nonsense. Why not just leave instead?"

Jian Qingchen shrugged and smiled. "It's simple. I just don't want to give in."

Rumble!

It was at this moment that Lin Xun took a sudden step forward and a dao sword emerged in the most natural way possible.

108,000 Swords!

"Taixuan sword-will? I didn't expect that you would have obtained Sword Emperor Taixuan's inheritance!"

Frightening iciness flashed in Jian Qingchen's eyes. He stuck out his hand in the shape of a sword and whistled, "Descend!"

A stream of deep, pitch-black sword qi suddenly emerged like a ray of light, cutting the curtain of the eternal night, filled with an oppressive aura of destruction and death.

It felt as if darkness was attacking, accompanied by the shadow of death!

Two streams of sword qis from two unrivaled experts clashed in the air.

Rumble!

The world was turned upside down, and the sun and moon lost their light.

Brilliant, blazing sword flashes, sword qi, sword-will, and sword-light converged and rushed forth, producing chaotic turbulence that unfurled like a raging storm.

Space distorted, the terrain collapsed, matter disintegrated, and many other horrifying scenes of destruction rapidly occurred.

Jian Qingchen frowned in shock the moment they clashed, realizing that the power of Lin Xun's sword far surpassed his expectations.

He immediately decided to change his tactics.

However, Lin Xun's second attack had already arrived. It was obvious that he had no intention of giving Jian Qingchen any opportunity to react or respond.

Swish!

Lin Xun had used the same sword move.

However, his sword displayed a completely different vibe this time. Its sharpness was unmatched and unrestrainable, and its unparalleled momentum would make even ghosts and gods avoid it in fear.

Heaven and earth fell silent and time seemed to come to a stand still. Anyone who saw the sword would feel a sensation of insignificance, despair, and suffocation.

It was the sword move called 'No Return'!

Jian Qingchen's expression finally changed. The earlier 108,000 Swords had already pressured him greatly. In fact, he was still stuck in a clash against them and had yet to fully neutralize them.

On the other hand, the second sword made him feel truly threatened. It felt as if something sharp was aimed at the back of his nape, causing a chill to rise from his feet.

"To think that he would possess such terrifying attainments in sword dao."

Jian Qingchen immediately stretched his limbs outwards, violently jerking his sleeves. His ten fingers made sword seals as his expression turned serious and focused.

"Earth, Kun, the sword moves unhindered!

"Heaven, Qian, the sword moves unrestrained by rules!

"Wind, Xun, the sword moves fearlessly!

"Thunder, Zhen, nothing can live wherever the sword passes!"

Heaven, earth, wind, and thunder; four supreme sword daos condensed into four sword seals and positioned themselves in their four respective Bagua positions around him.

Grand Dao Four Extreme Swords!

It was Jian Qingchen's true strength!

The auras of the four sword seals engulfed the area, making him resemble a sword god that towered over the land. His presence reached the peak in an instant, becoming so oppressive that the clouds in the vicinity shattered to pieces.

Boom~

The sky shook and the land trembled as a deafening noise resounded across the heavens, drowning out even the ongoing lightning tribulation.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that ordinary supreme Saints would die if they were caught in the aftershocks!

Bang!

Jian Qingchen was the first to falter. Struck by the terrifying sword-light, he staggered several steps backwards in the air with a pale, shocked face.

His feather robe was torn and his hair bun unraveled, causing his hair to messily fall around him.

On the opposite side, Lin Xun only shook a little. His expression remained calm from beginning to end. The only change was increasingly frosty black eyes.

He was frankly also rather surprised. This was the first opponent who had managed to withstand '108,000 Swords' and 'No Return' since he entered the Nine Domains Battlefield.

Jian Qingchen took a deep breath. Blood and qi churned in his body, causing him great discomfort as his expression turned grave.

In the Great Luo Ancient Domain, he was regarded as number one among the younger generation and possessed the title of 'best in the world' among his peers.

This was the first time in his life that he had been suppressed by a peer of the same cultivation level!

"It seems that I've underestimated you."

Jian Qingchen's eyes flashed like lightning. His aura began to change as he exuded a frightening fighting spirit that shook the stars!

"This only proves that you're inferior to me. Look carefully, this is the third move!"

As Lin Xun spoke, he vanished from the spot and reappeared in front of Jian Qingchen.

Jian Qingchen's pupils abruptly shrank, but he remained unafraid.

With a flip of his finger, an inch of sword-light appeared in his palm. Despite only being an inch long, it shone as brightly as the sun. It was the manifestation of power that had been condensed to the extreme!

At the same time, a jade bottle appeared in Lin Xun's hand; it was a bottle that seemed impossibly bottomless and boundless.

It was the Dao Immeasurable Bottle!

Eh?

Jian Qingchen suddenly stiffened. A sensation of fatal danger surged in his heart as he inwardly cursed.

Almost out of instinct, he retreated without hesitation and ran with all his might.

Rumble!

However, he was still a step too late. A ray of sword qi that was only several inches long flew out from the bottle.

It was still the sword move 'No Return' inherited from Battle Emperor Mo Yang. However, it was twice as strong as before!

For supreme Saints at the same cultivation level, a slight difference in strength was enough to decide the outcome of a duel, let alone a difference of double.

Amidst the dreadful rumbling that shook heaven and earth, Jian Qingchen was blown away like a kite with a broken string.

The tattered remains of his clothes disintegrated, revealing a dark gray armor that was directly drilled open by the unparalleled sword qi and pierced his chest.

Lin Xun frowned. He could tell that the armor was a powerful Saint treasure. If not for the armor, Jian Qingchen would have suffered more than mere serious injuries.

Swish!

Despite these thoughts, Lin Xun didn't skip a beat. He rapidly teleported across the air like a phantom in pursuit.

From the start, he had no intention of letting Jian Qingchen leave alive!
