The Prodigies War
chapter-1654

Finally, at this moment, Lin Xun couldn’t help but become enraged!

He had initially had utter respect for every expert stationed at the Frontline Battlefield, and perhaps this was why all the enormity that had happened here disappointed him so much that he was angry.

Because of Underworld Son, Old Practitioner Qiu had come for him aggressively and had been ready to kill him after the slightest verbal clash.

Because of Old Practitioner Qiu’s death, Gu Liangqu, the number one expert of the Great Emperor Pass, had also arrived in an angry manner to condemn him for his ‘crime.’

Because of a leaf, these old monsters had gotten greedy and covetous to the point that they disregarded rights and wrongs to point their fingers at him.

Because he was a junior, no one believed what he said!

Because…

Whatever the reason was, Lin Xun no longer bothered to understand, to put himself in their shoes, and to give them respect anymore!

What made them think they could do this?

They thought they could just list all the things they had done for the Ancient Wasteland Domain and use that to behave however they wanted?

Simply ridiculous!

Suddenly, the red-clad woman scanned the entire crowd and opened her mouth. “I’m the one who killed Old Practitioner Qiu.”

Her stunning face was as aloof as ice. Her voice was no longer as gentle as when she had spoken to Lin Xun and was instead bone-chilling.

“He has been stationed here for more than seven thousand years, but only killed sixty or so quasi-Emperors? The death of such trash is nothing regrettable.”

Her comment carried an undisguised contempt.

The expressions of Gu Liangqu’s group instantly darkened.

Old Practitioner Qiu had been a renowned expert here, so how could they not be irritated and angry when he was humiliated like that?

On the other hand, Shun Ji’s group immediately figured that this lofty and beautiful woman in red was the demonic flower!

“And these two on the ground couldn’t even withstand a single strike from me. They’ve brought this humiliation onto themselves.”

The woman’s words were anything but polite. Although she was all alone, her arrogance came from someone who overlooked worlds and all the beings within.

Many old monsters were shocked and furious.

They, of course, had also guessed her identity and thus had some apprehension for her, otherwise, they probably would have attacked.

“Are you trying to back up this man?” asked Gu Liangqu with a frosty expression.

He had also come to the realization that the woman in front of him was bound to be one of the terrifying existences sealed in the Ice Snow Leaf, which made him feel more and more unsettled.

Was that leaf really so powerful?

“Back him up?” The red-clad woman said casually, “No, I’m just following orders, or else I wouldn’t waste a breath on you, not when I can just kill whoever annoys me.”

Hearing this, quite a few old monsters felt their lips twitching. Sure enough, whoever grasped that Ice Snow Leaf would be able to order the powerful creatures sealed within!

They were envious and were salivating with greed, but they were also alarmed and fearful.

After a short silence, Gu Liangqu turned his gaze toward Lin Xun, “I can give you a chance. After I learn the whole truth about the recent domain conflict, I will be able to grant you forgiveness at my discretion, but the prerequisite is that you first hand over that leaf in your hand!”

Lin Xun sneered out of utter anger, “In the end, it’s nothing more than to seize this treasure, and you’re talking about forgiving me? What makes you think you deserve to do that?”

Gu Liangqu’s eyes flashed with killing intent, his expression ruthless. “A great number of experts are stationed here in this Great Emperor Pass. Do you think that you can be lawless just because of a treasure?”

The implication was obvious. No matter how powerful the red-clad woman was, how could she fight back so many quasi-Emperors?

Lin Xun coldly said, “At least I know that you, Gu Liangqu, can’t cover the sky of the Great Emperor Pass with one hand. Not everyone here will necessarily listen to your orders, so I advise you not to be too egotistical!”

Boom!

Gu Liangqu’s aura exploded and disturbed the atmosphere as his fury peaked. His long hair danced madly, and countless wisps of killing intent seemed to materialize around him, surging and tumbling.

The old monsters in the vicinity paled and gasped for air.

This was the might of the Great Emperor Pass’s number one expert!

Gu Liangqu turned his gaze to the red-clad woman and said, “I can help you kill this man and free you from his control, what do you think?”

The eyes of many old monsters lit up when they heard this.

The red-dressed woman was constrained by the Ice Snow Leaf in Lin Xun’s hands, but with her proud temperament and terrifying power, how could she possibly be willing to be in this situation?

However, to their dismay and incredulity, she rejected such a favorable offer without even thinking, “Heh, delusional!”

The mockery in her voice was glaring.

Gu Liangqu’s heart sank. This woman had made him feel a lot of pressure. If not, how could he possibly hold back until now?

“Kill these two,” said Lin Xun suddenly as he looked at Xing Feng and Nie Tu. His voice was completely devoid of emotional fluctuations.

Poof! Poof!

The two quasi-Emperors died on the spot while they were still pinned on the ground. All it had taken was a thought from the red-clad woman before their spirits fragmented, and they lost all signs of vitality.

In an instant, all faces of the old monsters present were drained of color.

“How dare you?!”

“What a cruel heart you have, brat!”

“Simply unpardonable!”

Angry shouts echoed between heaven and earth. The winds and clouds were stirred, and the atmosphere all became extremely hostile.

The hearts of Shun Ji, Ling Xiaozi, and others lurched because what Lin Xun had done had openly and completely offended Gu Liangqu!

“Die!” Gu Liangqu’s face was livid. His voice came out through gritted teeth, and his killing intent pierced the sky.

Boom!

He unhesitatingly attacked.

As he pressed out his palm, the whole region trembled. The ocean of killing intent converged in his palm before blasting out toward the red-clad woman.

“A half-step Emperor. No wonder he dares to be so arrogant.” There was a flash of surprise in the red-clad woman’s beautiful eyes. And then, she also struck out.

Wisps of misty sword qi appeared like a dream. The drizzle sprinkled into the blue sky, and the overwhelming magnificence of it caused one’s heart to tremble.

Bang bang bang!

Gu Liangqu’s palm force was crushed by the countless silk-like sword qi and dispersed inch by inch.

His face changed slightly. Without hesitation, he then used his full strength as he bellowed, “Why are you all still standing around?!”

“Attack!” The eyes of the other old monsters instantly surged with killing intent as they went for Lin Xun.

It was apparent to them that this would easily be resolved once they killed Lin Xun and seized the Ice Snow Leaf.

“Shameless!” Ling Xiaozi, Shun Ji, Madam Mu, and the rest of their group couldn’t stand and watch this any longer. They angrily deployed attacks at those old monsters.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

A battle among quasi-Emperors erupted. For a time, the heaven and earth turned upside down, the sun and moon fizzled out, and the air was blown apart.

Divine flares, dao sounds, treasure light, and dao arts completely flooded the area.

How terrifying was a battle of quasi-Emperors?

Their might alone was enough to obliterate any True Saint in an instant!

If it wasn’t for the fact that the Sun Pass was shrouded in a supreme restriction power permeated with the aura belonging to the Emperor stage, then it would have suffered irreparable damage in the first second of the fight.

Not to mention intervening, someone like Lin Xun would suffer a calamity if he were to be caught in the shockwaves.

In fact, under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Lin Xun to dodge or escape the pressure from these quasi-Emperor auras when he was standing so close. He would have been affected in an instant.

But it did not happen.

Lin Xun just stood there like an immovable boulder despite the strong winds from all directions. He wasn’t hurt in the slightest.

It was because the crystalline and shiny leaf in his palm was emitting obscure fluctuations that dissolved the energy waves from all around.

Lin Xun’s eyes were dark and cold as a seething murderous intent took over his heart.

The red-clad woman was fighting Gu Liangqu. The other old monsters were charging forward at full strength to kill him. Shun Ji, Ling Xiaozi, and Madam Mu were furiously trying to stop all this…

Chaos and turmoil reigned, and killing intent covered the sky.

The vast Sun Pass had been plunged into fierce infighting!

The murderous intent in Lin Xun’s heart then completely erupted like lava.

“You asked for it!” He abruptly threw his head back. His black hair fluttered wildly as the Ice Snow Leaf on his palm emitted a petrifying fluctuation.

Boom!

A legendary bird with snow-white feathers swept out and emitted a cry that shook the nine heavens.

“Go kill those old bastards if you want to live. This will be your only chance,” said Lin Xun coldly.

A baleful aura instantly surged out from the snow-white bird and skyrocketed. With a flap of its wings, the bird shot into the air like a bolt.

Poof!

The next second, its giant claws tore off the arm of an old monster, drawing a miserable scream.

Buzz~

As the Ice Snow Leaf kept emitting more strange waves, a huge black giant ape, a broken and bloodstained bronze spear, a giant python covered in golden scales, a sable draped in blinding lightning arcs, and many more to follow shot out one after another.

In just the blink of an eye, more than a dozen terrifying beings who had once lain dormant within the Mulberry Woodland for millennia all appeared!

This side of the world shook and creaked under the horrifying auras that they emanated.

Countless cries of shock rang out as many old monsters paled in horror.

No one had expected that the Ice Snow Leaf in Lin Xun’s hand had been sealing so many frightening beings.

This was like opening the gate of hell!

Even Gu Liangqu, who was occupied by the red-dressed woman, felt a chill in his heart, and his face twisted drastically. From what he had gathered, the Ice Snow Leaf only sealed a flood dragon, a bronze ant, and a demonic flower.

Moreover, both the flood dragon and the bronze ant weren’t loyal to Lin Xun and were averse to being under his control.

But who would have thought…

Who would have thought that something so terrifying would play out?!

Even Shun Ji’s group were tremendously shaken, and they inwardly lamented at how bad the situation had gotten. Lin Xun had obviously become so angry that he was completely disregarding everything.

Moreover, they also hadn’t expected that the treasure leaf had been sealing this many terrifying existences.

Before they could try to appease Lin Xun, one word had been uttered lightly from his lips:

“Kill!”

As if it was an order given by their absolute lord, the black giant ape, golden python, violet sable, bloodstained spear, along with the host of others all charged out.

Every single one of them possessed battle power not below that of the bronze ant’s or the flood dragon’s!

They were all ancient beings who were only one big opportunity away from becoming Emperors, in waiting for which they had been dormant for countless years.

When they attacked, one could only imagine the horror of the scene.

The whole world rumbled in complete chaos. The sun and moon lost their light, and the sky went dark. Each of those beings was like a ferocious god of killing as they swept across the field!
